The main part of the party in Mended Horn is wrapping up a matter at an Abandoned Whaling/Sealing station... somewhat. Virgin Flame has made her return and is celebrating with exercise and tea after recovering an important marble statue head and vanquishing several amoebas in the process.

In the cockpit, beyond the helm and below the windshield, Kira sees it.

Standing there in all of its glory, Kira sees a figurine 5 inches tall and made of probably some sort of plastic or wood of a female hippogriff, light green in color, wearing a skirt of dried brown leaves, and holding a mandolin or some other kind of stringed instrument in its right claw. She wears a ringed crown of flowers on her head, and a necklace of seashells. She smiles right at Kira.

"Really," Vir says and looks down at the dark-brown, almost resin colored liquid in her cup. Then she proceed to take a careful mouthful of it.

It sends down a shiver down her spine, like somepony drew a cartoonish bolt of lightning over her frame. A content sighs escapes her lips as the cup leaves them. Her eyes are closed as her body is occupied with relishing the tea that spread out from her core and gives gentle caresses over her body.

Yep, that's treasure. Looks like a treasure statue with permanent animate objects cast on it. If so, it could be worth 15,660 gp, before considering the craftsmanship .

Posey can place the culture depicted as North Zebrican, presumably North Zebrican (Arisian), although perhaps it is not a faithful depiction of reality, but rather something fanciful. The substance it is made out of is untarnished. The origin cannot be discerned.

Much of the secret/technique to the Funny traditionally named bat style Briebhas an apprenticeship in is that most of its stealth kills dont involve stabbing, so much as they involve pressing the tip of a blade and then constricting. Technically speaking, a proficient grappler could intuit the technique by observation and a bit of instruction/practice

Uh... I'd have the look that up. I want to say white for Flowercup and kind of an eggnog yellow-brown for Heather, but that's probably completely wrong.

"Oh... Okay..." Heather says, looking at the adorable large mare. "Flower cup, pour her some more."

Flowercup comes by, very awkwardly holding the handle of the teapot with her mouth, and then slowly pouring the tea in Vir's cup... maybe overflowing a little bit... and then it gets on the table. And then Heather tells Flowercup "Clean that up!" and Flowercup has to go back, get a rag, and then come bag and clean it up. And then when Vir tries to pick it up to sip it, a little more spills.

Anyways, Heather offers to provide sugar. One, two, three cubes... and the cubes cause it to overflow again. Damn it Flowercup.

>cause it to overflow again. Damn it Flowercup.
^^

A teeth revealing grin forces its way onto Vir's features. Deep laughter erupts from her. Vir then reaches out with her, now somewhat coated in tea hoof, to Flowercup and just places it on her head just behind the ears. She gently rubs her hoof into her mane.

Her hoof feels like living stone with a pulse running through it. Her frog kinda reminds Flowercup of a pillowcase but if your stuck as many pillows in it as you possibly could.

Does she realize how hopeless it would be to try to escape this mare if she grabbed her?

"Not worry over me," Vir says, smile, and closes her eyes like this: '^^'

Vir slowly opens her eyes and finds herself staring back. She ends up pulling both her gaze and hoof away since she felt a bit awkward.

She looks back at them. Giving them both her question, "So, what is your relation? You mother and foal?"

So assuming nothing happened while wrapping the seeming polearm broadpoint Brie pulled from the safe, he would be concluded on any fixative agenda. He would doff the telescope tho, too unwieldy/weighty especially in that hes straddling the line of a light load. He would offer n it to the party. And advocate for its market value.

He fondles the keys he never figured out what goes to. "A keepsake, perhaps?" Unable to imagine a scenario where he leaves the keys for the commies, Brie pockets the keys. He then turns to the knife. Acceptable, he supposes. The style and shape of the blade certainly arent his preference, more Rambo and less early-Doctor Strange. He doesnt have any sheathes for it. Best to put it from his mind he thinks, as the knife falls from his hooves with a clattering sound, belying it's false tang and welded fittings (ugh).

It suddenly occurs to Brie that with a cut fuel line, this boat is a firebomb waiting to gomoff, potentially. "You know what? Nevermind. We should go."

Okay, Baltimare crew: Dark Star, Virgin Flame, Ambersubset.

I want to at some point make your characters meet up. Or at least, two of you. I have a few quest ideas. One is participating in an immigration raid on gnolls, zebra voodoo practitioners. Another is encountering possible spoop in the Baltimare underground, an abandoned hospital, or out in the woods. I can do individual quests if this is what is desired. Please give input on what you want to do.

Some friends have convinced me to go to Bronies NL Meet 31, which lasts tonight until midnight. This might limit my ability to engage seriously tonight, though I am not certain. I will try.

I am open to Amber doing anything as long as it is in-character for her to do so. She will not intentionally seek out an armed conflict without having a good reason.

Go ahead and enjoy yourself. You're there in Holland for a limited time, while the game will be around for a while.
