Kira places the bits on the counter, as well as an extra 50 as a tip. "Thank you so much. I'm so, so sorry about earlier. I hope you're okay, and that it doesn't ruin your opinion on us. Here, keep the extra Bits. Have a great day!"
With that done, Kira takes her bottles of wine, smiles and waves to the poor stallion, and leaves the establishment to head back home.

"Well, yes, and I also have sneaking suspicion that she will find way to be on that plane regardless of what we say. Might as well skip that hassle and have her join."

Awwww. I'm certain she would have stayed long enough to hear him finish his statement. Especially as she would have taken a minute or so to squeeze out of the door.

"I am willing to negotiate prices, although I would like to be compensated as is the market standard for a warmagus of my power level, plus amenities." She says, tossing her mane
"Where do we begin?"
Posey, like she normally does, attempts to charm the pony as soon as he makes eye contact. Same DC as usual.

"Oh no" He shakes his head. "I don't think she wants to go. It's too dangerous. Too much hassle. Too much... Well, unpleasantry. They want killers, you know. I haven't had to kill a pony but, well, that's the job."
>>177790
"Can't say I've been in the market for a warmagus recently. But it's a bloke from the Navy who is doing the contracting. I'm sure he would like to hammer out the prices before hoof, however. If you want, you can tag along, and see if it's worth you maybe breaking a nail, or getting your hair all up in a tussle." He smiles, and then tilts his head "Or rather, when you realize it's too much for you, you can politely back out on 'it doesn't pay enough'. Save face that way. It's okay. I understand. The rest of us have got jobs to do though."
>>177789
Well, there's a moment. If she would like another minute or so, she can have that minute.

Wandering the streets of Baltimare is a lone zeeb. He's carrying a few packs, making it obvious he's not from around the area but he still seems to be traveling light.
He's preoccupied in thought as he wanders the streets, before suddenly tripping over something in his path. It felt like a root, if roots grew in the middle of the road. And if they were.... Gold? His eyes grow a little wider as he traces the "root" of his mishap.

Well, I mean, it appears as if she has that moment right now.
>>177792
The zeeb traces this root up to...is that a pony? Or, half of a pony, who seems to be...oh, it's not a root at all, it's a snake tail, attached to the half of this pony-snake creature who is having trouble exiting the doorway of a store, as she's currently carrying a pair of large creates strapped to her and appears to have a large bulge in part of her snake tail.

"She says she is familiar with death. Makes sense as she said she is Necrologist from local university. I have no idea what Warmagus is but I saw her with armor and sword, I would assume she would not have those if she did not know how to use them."

The zebra seems shocked. Not a scared shocked, but a very surprised or caught off guard shocked. Regardless, the sepia to creamish and very dark brown striped zebra does not move as he, rather rudely, stares

"Very well. Just let me inform my ride of the detour."
She clips her hooves together and gives a mental command to have her ghast inform Mason of the events.
.... Or she just goes and tells him herself, because Idk where the ghast is. In hindsight, I probably should have taken care to keep track of the flesh-eating monster... Oh well.
Whatever the case, it doesn't take her long to be ready.

The pony-snake creature finally looks, and notices the staring zeeb. She smiles warmly at him with eyes that look like they could belong on a bat pony. She looks a bit bat pony-esque, in fact, save for not having any wings.
"Oh, hello there! I'm just having a bit of trouble getting out, give me...nngh..." With a bit of effort, she comes unstuck from the doorframe, and slithers a bit out. "There!" She waves back to the pony at the counter inside the store, before turning her attention back to the zeeb. "Hey...you don't look afraid of me. Who are you?"

It's big. It's scary. The zebra still has a chance to run away.
>>177794
"Are you sure? She looks like made up and pretty to be a warrior. Well, I'll let this pony sort it out."
>>177796
"Very well" He says

Silver and Posey are both directed back by the yellow pegasus pony named Parade Pass to the parked Canadian Military Pattern Dodge D60 or whatever the fuck is an appropriate two and a half ton military truck, and starts it up. Presumably the ponies would sit in the back. The gnoll, Mala, moves to the back.

I wanna get to lvl 7 so I can summon a familiar to send messages for me. I even have a name picked out.
>>177799
Indeed Silver sits in the back, next to Mala. Presumably the driver of the truck knows the way back to his home, since he's been there already. Just a quick detour home so Silver can grab the rest of what he needs for the mission, then he's ready.

Posey puts herself in between Gloomy and the Hyena.
"I didn't expect to see a Gnoll working in customs. I heard that there has been some bad blood with the local temple. I guess we're all individuals though, and every creature has to work." she says, making small talk

The zebra continues to look surprised as he slowly starts to stand.
"Defiant Dust is my name,
And a shaman is my claim.
I was sent from my home
To Equestria to roam."
He cocks his head as if he wants to ask a question, but wont.

"Huh." He seems kind of surprised that Posey would talk to him at all. He is kind of large, with a hunched posture, though they all have that, and likewise with a light tan fur, black stripes, and a single black stripe like a mane that goes all the way down to his tail. He is fat, fatter than probably any of the gnolls Posey saw in the enclave.
"Oh. I'm not with the temple. I'm with him." He looks over towards Silver. "I wouldn't really work with Customs either, it's just that he does. That's how I encountered him."

>>177801
Parade Pass, who is in a passenger seat, does lean back to ask Silver about directions once. But they make it to his home after not very many minutes.

The pony-snake tilts her head at the zebra for a minute, before she gasps and exclaims in wide-eyed wonderment, "You do the rhyming thing! I've heard of zebras doing that but I've never seen in in person! Wow! Oh, I'm Kubana Kirafiki, but you can call me Kira. You say you're a roamer? Would you like to join me on my way home? If you don't have anywhere better to be, that is, I'm just going to drop this stuff off then go to Customs to see if I can get some work."

"Hmmm, I wouldn't normally work with customs either, but my research has expenses, so I take lucrative work where I can find it." She says, doing her mane as she pets Gloomy

"He is very great warrior and friend. I am glad to have found him."
Stopping at home, Silver tells the group he'll be right back as he hops inside to grab the rest of his equipment. We can have a brief encounter with the creatures in his household if it's desired, or we can just skip to him coming back out with his equipment.

He seems a little confused by a few of the things she says, but does seem a little relieved by the prospect of not being alone as he nods
"Some compant would be nice,
As this town can feel like ice.
But if I may be bold to ask,
Why so far from home is your task?"

If that's a problem, just give stronger challenges.
Luminous and the Hydra fights were great. Really got me down to the line.

Kira starts slithering back home, with Dust by her side.
"My people have been invaded and conquered by the griffons of Talonsvaal. My mom, the lead huntress, sent me here to Equestria to ask for aid. I was told Customs would give me an in with the governor here, who can help, so that's where I'm going to go. You know, after I drop all of this stuff off. I'm not sure travelling all of the way to Customs with kitchenware is going to be a good idea."

The gist of it is that Jubilosa and Paper Clipping don't even recognize him. Khoi is not there. He'd best tell them he'll be gone for a while.

Oh definitely. If Rosey is going to sleep, then perhaps we can play out the still brief interaction with them. It will give Kira and Dust some time to catch up with them.

The zeeb nods as he falls in line with the lamia as they walk down the street. He doesn't seem to be bothered with her snakish appearance, though if that is due to trust or simply having seen weirder things isn't clear.
He's fairly quiet, and the walk back gives a better look at his possessions. One bundle, laying across his back behind the withers looks to be some type of armor, with some bits that look like weapons or such sticking out. His other bundles seem to be typical traveling items such as a bedroll and other belongings as they hand at his sides.

Jubilosa is the first to see Silver enter. She looks concerned.
"Are you Silver Sword's son?" She asks

"You must be from Zebrica, like me. I guess you must have at least heard of lamias, or maybe you even have met one before. I'm glad for it, it gets pretty tiring when every pony you meet tries to hide behind a counter, or run away screaming. You're right about this city being icy at times. It's nice to be able to actually start off on a good hoof with someone, get to show them from the start that I'm not bad at all, than I'm not some monster." Slithering along, a question comes to her mind. "Oh! Have you ever found a good rhyme for 'orange'? I've heard there's no word that rhymes with it. Is that true?"

The supposed Silver speaks with a voice that is very similar to his, but which lacks the gravel of age she and Clip have gotten used to. In fact, he looks almost identical to the Silver who left not too long ago, just...better. Younger. Fluffier. "No, it is me. Long story short, while I was out, I took detour to go through old catacombs I had cleared out some time ago, and I found some hidden loot. One piece of which was mystical fruit that I ate and, well..." The supposed Silver spins around in place, showing himself off to the pair. "...I seem to have regressed in age."

"In Zebrica I reside,
And of your people I have been told."
He pauses for a second to scrunch
"That word has bothered us from the days of old,

"Awwww. That's unfortunate. Alright, my house is coming up here, these apartment...townhouse...things. I'm just gonna put all this stuff inside and grab my things, then we'll head to Customs. If you wanted to, that is. You're welcome to come inside! Again, it's great having someone who isn't immediately afraid of me. Kinda like my roommate."

"Thank you! I feel great, too, I have not felt this good in years. It feels like I am young stallion again." Silver struts around the room, but stops when he sees Jubilosa's concern. He goes up to her, and holds one of her claws in his hoof. "What is wrong?"

"To customs I can come,

If you'd like I can wait outside,

The zeeb seems fine to follow Kira's lead for now, as it doesn't seem he's been doing mucb unto this point.

>>177830
Believe it or not...
It's heated
That may sound like a minor thing, but you try figuring out how a heater works
At the door is a spotted doe.

Jubilosa says,
"Is that not a little unnatural?"

"Go ahead and take a seat on the couch, if you want." Kira smiles at Neela. "Hello! This nice zebra is Defiant Dust, he's from Zebrica like me! Oh, I've got all of the kitchenware we need! And I got you something, too." Kira gives Neela the bottles of wine, before going to set the crates of kitchenware down gently on the kitchen floor. "The stallion at the shop said the one is for getting drunk, and the other is an Aquileian wine that apparently you can't get in the country anymore. Don't know why."

Heating is nice, and not something Dust is used to.
He's much less used to the deer however, as he pauses for a moment to determine what she is.

"Well, maybe not. If documents that I found with fruit are anything to go by...I think it was fruit from Tree of Life. That is probably least unnatural thing in this world."

"Hello." The doe smiles at Defiant Dust and looks him up and down. She is a spotted deer, presumably from Hindia in Zebrica.
She looks at the wine
"Aquelian wine?" And after a pause
"Why would you get Aquelian wine..."
>>177834
She slowly approaches him, and with her claw, starts to feel his fur.

His fur is just as soft as it looks, and is even softer than it was just this morning. Silver smiles at his griffon.
"It is still me, I promise you, just...well, younger. This is how I looked back in my prime, when I was about your age. I suppose it is now 'am your age', at least for moment. I do not know how long that fruit will last, or if being separated from tree that it grew on for hundreds of years has reduced its effectiveness at all and made effects temporary."

I do not know how long that fruit will last, or if being separated from tree that it grew on for hundreds of years has reduced its effectiveness at all and made effects temporary."

As Neela does so, Kira goes upstairs to grab her equipment. She comes down wearing her studded leather armor, with her bow, arrows, and spear in her possession.
"So, did the maintenance pony come by? Did you two...you know?"

"I suppose it does." He continues to smile at his griffon, as she keeps playing with his new younger chest fluff. "As for 'today' today, I was stopped by pony from Customs. It appears they need help with another mission, and my reputation after Hoebuck has grown quite bit. I do not know how long it will be, they said there is plane involved, but when I get back I would like to experience being young again with you all."

Silver nods. "To go on whatever this mission is. They are sparse with details. Something to do with Navy, up in Trottingham. Good money, apparently. Enough money perhaps to get expansion built onto this house, get bedrooms added for Clip, Mint, and Orchid. And enough money left over to have some fun with."

"Hehe, it looks like you two did! Nice job!" Kira smiles at her deer friend. "Okay, me and Dust are going to go look for that job opportunity. I'm guessing you'd rather stay here and enjoy your bottles of wine while listening to the radio?"

"Alright. Be careful if you head out, don't get into any unnecessary trouble or draw attention to yourself, especially from the law. I know you're smart enough to not do that, but I'm just making sure. Oh, and here's some spending money in case you need anything." Kira gives Neela 100 Bits. "I'll be back, okay?"

"You know I will. No way I could stay away from you." Silver rubs the end of his snout against Jubilosa's beak before kissing her.

The faint 'clink' a teacup and a slight ruffling of pages are the only sounds accompanying the strange bat in the Customs office. His hooves are wrapped gently around a book titled "Metaphysica", penned by Aristrotle, and he seems quite content to wait (while secretly glad that this isn't realtime).
>>177848
Hey, no need to apologize! I know ponies gotta sleep sometime.
Kira takes the opportunity to get a closer look at Dust's cargo. "Are you a warrior of some type?"

>"You don't look like a fighter"
Posey at this point as taken out a comb and has been attending to Gloomy's mane, along with her own.
"Does any mage look like a fighter? The most powerful unicorns are indistinguishable from your average pony, it they're wise that is." She says
>The Monkey's Paw Curls
If that's what it takes to get to lvl 7, then so be it.
>>177816
I'm back now.
>>177831
>"Is that not a little unnatural?"
"Of course it is, it's magic afterall." Posey says, announcing her presence as she enters with a toss of her mane and a whirl of her cape, her golden eyes blazing with enchantment. She has donned her chain shirr armor and her traditional spined dastana bracers, her sword as her side and her new polearm crackling with electricity.
Gloomy makes a similar gesture as he walks behind her, albeit less impressively. He brandishes his crayola crayon in his mouth.

Silver breaks his kiss with his griffon short as he's interrupted by the armored mare. "Ah, right, this here is Rosey Ring and her son, Gloomy. I met her earlier at catacombs, and she is coming along on job. Rosey, Gloomy, this is Jubilosa and Paper Clipping." He motions to the griffon and young stallion, respectively. "I am just saying my goodbyes, letting them know about situation before I go to get my equipment."

"So uh... who are you?" the doe asks, staring at the Zebra. She's brown in color with many white spots. She's not very large, but probably around average for what she is.
>>177846
"Hehe" She nuzzles him back, and then kisses him, placing her claws around his shoulders in a hugging embrace.
>>177851
>>177852
If Posey goes inside, she would see that there is a staircase going up to the right, and behind it, objects like a couch and a table in a living room, going on in an open floor pattern to windows and a door on the other side. There is a white wall with some items and a door to the left. Silver Sword is hugging a dark brown griffin female and even kissing her. There is a kind of small ecru colored unicorn stallion behind the two with a red mane, looking on.
After Posey speaks and Silver speaks, the Griffin says, in an irritated voice
"Oh of course you went out and found some young, unicorn mare. And brought her home."
>>177851
The house, before Posey enters - if she enters - is a beach house, with two floors that is raised on stilts on a kind of grassy and sandy patch immediately next to the ocean, on the peninsula north of Horseshoe Bay. It is white in color and timber framed, with a wooden staircase leading up to the front door.
>>177851
The gnoll tilts his head and says
"I can't say I have seen many mages at all. There was this one pony who did magic... I guess he didn't look like a fighter either." He leans over to Posey, and starts to sniff her.

Silver scrunches at Jubilosa, but it feels more like it's being directed at the unicorn.
"It is nothing like that, I promise you." He whispers in his griffon's ear. "To be honest with you, she is kind of...weird. She just popped up out of nowhere in catacombs wearing chain armor and wielding sword with her son floating on some kind of magic disk, saying she was investigating local haunt. She says she is Necrologist from local university, as well as being 'Warmagus', whatever that is."

>Griffin says, in an irritated voice
Seethe, Jewbird. You kind will be eradicated.
>if she enters
She's been invited, so she doesn't hesitate.
>sniff her
Posey smells like roses and moonlight, but beneath her pleasant aroma that is a very subtle, near undetectable trace of blood, plague charnel miasma: the scent of death itself. It's so subtle that only a Gnoll or another creature capable of taking scent as a feat might notice it.
(Posey has the Unnatural Aura trait; animals don't like her)
Rosey Ring looks around the house
"I'm a very busy mare, so let us talk business now, shall we?"

>Silver scrunches at Jubilosa, but it feels more like it's being directed at the unicorn.
Oh no, it's directed at Silver
She listens in to Silver
"Oh... I see... I would ask where you meet these people, but apparently the answer is 'The catacombs'. Mala said you were dropping off the car around there?" She moves her beak together and head upwards as she says the first part, and sounds concerned but mostly calmed down.
>>177857
>Seethe, Jewbird. You kind will be eradicated.
>If she's been invited
I don't think she has been, but there's a landing from which Posey can stand and look through an open door.
>>177857
The gnoll takes an unmistakable interest in Posey's scent. He continues to sniff her, sometimes bringing his nose close to Posey, until she either forces him to stop, or they reach the house.

"Yes, just for moment while I am gone. It will be back soon." Silver nuzzles his griffon a bit more. "I love you, Jubee. I will be back before you know it." Looking back at Rosey, Silver replies. "All I need to do is grab couple of things from upstairs and then I am ready. Will not take more than minute."
Silver goes upstairs alone, disappearing into a room that must be his bedroom before coming back out and downstairs in genuinely about a minute. This time he has a bundle of firearms with him, including from what can be seen a bolt-action rifle with a bayonet, and a pump-action shotgun. "Okay, I am ready."

"May I come in?"

Posey seems to believe that this is good enough to overcome her psychological phobia, and she enters the building after the Gnoll.

He looks around hopefully, but Ms. Skies hasnt returned swith her supervisor, so he resigns himself to more of Aristrotle.

For destiny tied me a different knot
Although I fight to keep the peace
I am ultimately cut from a shaman's fleece.'

Dust turns towards the inquistive deer, still surprised to see her
"My name is Defiant Dust
I am not intruding too much I trust.
But meeting your friend, a creature of legend
Has left my out of place feelings much lessened."

"Very well then."
Rosey Ring turns to leave the house, towing her colt behind her.
It would be at this point that her cutie mark is visible for the first time: a dark sun in a white sky (kudos to anyone who gets the reference)
As she leaves, her horn begins fastening her hair into a sort of war bun, with a casual air that suggests she's done it enough times to easily do so without a mirror. She begins tying her tail similarly.

Silver addresses his griffon and the young ecru stallion with a "Look after the house while I'm gone" and a wave goodbye, before joining the snow white mare outside alongside his gnoll friend. He looks back at Gloomy again. "Do you need foalsitter for him? It sounds like we are going into combat zone. It is definitely not place for colt."

>>177879
Dust nods and grabs his roll that seems to be armor and weapons. He hesitates for a moment, but ultimately decides to grab his other packs as well, just to make sure he doesn't over stay his welcome.

"Well, I was considering it. It depends how long the mission will take. I could summon my foalsitter, but I figured he could use the experience. My master started me even younger."
>>177878
"Hmmm." Rosey Ring seems torn
"What do you say, Gloomy?"
Morale Check to see if Gloomy is insane enough yet to indulge Rosey Ring's bloodthirst (until I can gain the mentor feat, I cannot control this NPC)
[1d20 = 19]

Hmmm. Perhaps, Kira wonders to himself, this zebra needs a place to stay. She'll have to think on that, as they get to know each other better. She does look at the deer in such a fashion to try to communicate to her not to mess with Dust's belongings, if he does leave them here in the apartment.
"Have fun!" She waves goodbye to the deer, and slithers out the door, presumably alongside the zebra as they travel towards Customs together.
