Well, since for the moment it seems that we've got some time...

After a rather surprisingly intense makeout session, Silver pulls back once Khoi allows him. He looks pretty blown away

Poor traumatized mare.

Kira marvels at the electronics abound on the shelves, none of which were available in her tribe. "Wooooooooooow...this. Is. Amazing!"

Rain starts just before entering the car on the trip into town. the journey is not unknown to Posey, but neither is it wholly familiar, with both familiar landmarks, like the brick factory near the river, and elements that before had gone unnoticed, like the firehouse at the edge of Locust Promontory. It's later at night than the previous visit, and there are far fewer ponies populating the night than before, and what few there are in a zombie-like state, like the soldier, wrapped in a trench coat, who sleepily checks Posey's ID at the first stop. Only a lone truck driver that Posey sees going the other way seems acclimated to the night. What Posey does see, however, is a number of batwinged ponies, whose eyes reflect golden in the dim light, and who most populate the streets so late at night. They form the majority of the military garrison and even the police patrols, and they can be seen in the lit loading bays of factories and warehouses as they wait for trucks to load.

Most of the city is closed, with near every tenement block window unlit and curtains closed, and every schoolhouse dark. Most of the shops are closed, save a few late night cafes and coffee shops whose few patrons form dark silhouttes against a bright background. And yet the city is far from dormant, as the machinery of the city drones on. The whistling of steam, the rotation of lathes, and the idling of diesel engines can be heard long before the edges of distillation towers, or the looming brick facades of manufactories can be seen in the dark, clouded night.

Passing a second checkpoint, Posey sees more creatures on the streets, and these are mostly the kaftar, the crocutta, diamond dogs and a cat-creature Posey isn't sure she's seen before, though even these stay close the sides of buildings so as to best avoid the rain. Posey passes a large armored truck with a machinegun on the top, with soldiers who hide in their trench coats from the rain, but keep watch on the darkness, firmly holding their rifles. But it cannot be the rain alone that causes such furtiveness, as even those inside are more tense than the last time Posey came through.

Mason parks the car. There is something off an issue: it appears there are soldiers by the entrance used the last time to get into the enclave.

Posey casually approaches the entryway and wordlessly strolls past the soldiers. If they try to stop her, her first response is to lift her head from beneath her hood and try to charm them with her gaze, in order of closest to furthest.
Bluff check, to appear inconspicuous

They do indeed try to stop her, going so far as to place hooves on her if necessary.

"Sorry ma'am, this establishment has a check point on it. You see it's connected to the underground, so we have to search you and check your passport."

This is a Pegasus stallion of a white color. He smiles at her. The other stallion doesn't make direct eye contact.

Posey shows her ID, and the equipment she brought, which only amounts to her spell component pouch and some mundane scribing and research materials (she left her weapons and armor at home; not wanting to malign the Kaftars).
DC 19 Will vs Charm for the Pegasus who made eye contact.

Kira "oooo"s as she observes how the feathers on his wings move.

"What if I do this?"

Hide: Kira attempts to hide her snake tail right in plain view of the stallion, to show how she can sort of "disguise" herself by having her tail be not visible.

This elicits another chuckle from Silver.

"You sure did come out of your shell between breakfast and changing into your work clothes. You did not get replaced by changeling, did you?" The tone of his voice makes it clear this is intended as a joke, but a small part of him does wonder...

Posey shows her license
"I am a certified necrologist. It is my duty to investigate and alleviate haunts and supernatural encounters surrending the deceased, which naturally involves operating at night, when such events occur."
She adds
"Besides, the creatures in this neighborhood are largely nocturnal. It would be rude to intrude upon them during the day."

"Oh..." The stallion seems somehow uncomfortable with this, and is uninquisitive about more details.

"Be very careful, ma'am. These gnolls 'll eat ponies alive."

The stallion steps aside, and out of her way.

>>175240
No, of course not. Changelings are black and chitinous, and she is golden and fluffy. Then again, she doesn't have fur along her back... her horn is kind of crooked... and she's small, like one...

>>175241
The stallion moves back
"Okay just... don't go too far... or stay too long..."

Posey goes down a tunnel, through a dark, poorly lit tunnel until she comes out of a stairway in a building that directly meets the street. On the street one block over is La Fete. And then just across this is the church. It occupies a small property with a brick wall around it. It is rectangular, with a painted wooden door directly at street level, contrasting against the more normal use of steps. There are windows to either side, narrow and rectangular and fairly low. It has a high angled roof, with a black rooftop, and a painted white wooden steeple. It's an odd shape altogether; clearly intended to be tall, yet oddly stubby and close to the ground. The door is closed, and there is no outward information.

Amber changes up her ploy. While there's a lull in new customers, she decides to just ask Salt Mixer if she can use the restroom, and if approved will go into the kitchen the more hidden way. Of course she takes her cup of spice with her.
