"ah ok i see, i thought you meant equality in a different since."

>>73432
"Which enemy lands, may I ask?"

>>73433
"Oh hell no. I've seen what those communists have attempted. No respect for tradition, the family. For any sense of the natural order of things. They are why I had to come here"

>>73434
"why What Happend"

>>73434
He seems a bit confused by the question. "You mean their enemies' lands, where they use disguises?"

>>73435
"After I left Nimbusia I tried a new home. But they started to adopt communism. A forced integration into one system, one way of doing things. Quotas and regulations. The village I stayed with did not comply. Elders were replaced, the military replaced. Anyone of the conservative order hanged"

>>73436
"Oh yes, I see. I am too old to have fought, but damn it is a shame"

>>73437
"Thats awful. those ponies need to be gassed"

>>73438
"Indeed, someone crack out the insecticide"

>>73437
He is still confused by the wording of the question, but tries his best to answer as far as he understands it. "Changelings only feel safe to trot around undisguised when surrounded by other changelings. Usually, that is when they are in their hives, marching in their armies, or when in Changeling Lands themselves. When surrounded by non-changelings, or in foreign lands, even if there is no one around, they will take all measures to stick to their disguise."

>>73440
"As I figured. I can't even begin to imagine what the other half of Equestria is experiencing

>>73441
"It was...not pretty, even in beginning of war, when they overran places like Vanhoover."

>>73442
"I take it you were active the whole war then"

>>73443
He nods, and takes another sip of his whiskey. "Nearly. From loss of Vanhoover to Equestria's capitulation."

>>73444
"I spent the whole war right here in this bar. Quite a bit away from the front lines. Until the front lines came to us"

>>73435
Um, Dark Star. May I ask you a question?"

>>73445
"yea sure what Do you want to know?"

>>73445
"New Mareland…" His voice adopts the tiniest bit of venom upon uttering the words.

>>73446
And now, she blushes, too embarrassed to ask

>>73447
"Came right into the center of the city"

>>73448
"Ah come on you have to tell me now."

>>73449
"Stabbed us in back. In our greatest time of struggle and need. Took away only home I knew. Only home we had." He glances back at the old recruitment poster, his glass shaking slightly in the grasp of his magic. "And is now trying to destroy it further."

>>73450
And now she's too embarrassed
"Well, it's not what I was going to ask you... but will you buy me a drink?"

>>73451
He pauses
"It's only going to get worse from here"

>>73452
After a couple seconds, he lets out a sigh. His glass slowly stops shaking as he takes another sip. "I do not like thinking of Great War, much. Makes me angry. I try to focus on here and now, and how to make all...this..." he gestures all around him, "...work."

>>73452
"BarColt a maretini for my mare friend here, and get me some apple whiskey"

>>73453
"Here in Baltimare especially it can be hard to make things work. We don't have quite the industry of the more northerly cities. Certainly not the culture."
He moves over to take the order of another pony

>>73454
Bartender: "Coming right up"

Blue: "You consider me your marefriend?

>>73455
He looks back at the pony who ordered, pausing as he sees Dark Star, and the mare with him. "...Is that...?"

>>73456
She waves

>>73455
"yea i do."

>>73457
He waves back slowly, before turning back around to face the bar.

>>73458
"So then, would you take me home tonight? Or treat me to a nice hotel room?"

>>73459
"Careful, that guy will argue with you for hours about politics if you want to bring up the Great War"

>>73460
He chuckles. "Noted. But, I also heard he was in here earlier with that same mare, throwing around Bits like they were made of paper."

>>73461
"Oh yes, he will do that"

>>73462
"Heard he hired pony right here for decent sum. To do what, I do not know."

>>73463
"For that much money, it was either illegal, something noponyelse could do, or both"

>>73460
"Hmmmm i dont know. maybe if you're good."
>>73461
>>73463
"it was for a math camp."

>>73465
"I haven't really been known to be a good girl"

>>73465
He turns around to look at Dark Star at the interruption, speaking with his trademark Stalliongrader accent. "...Math camp? What is this 'math camp'?"

>>73469
Blue Skies made a hissing sound at Silver after he spoke

>>73470
Okay, now I understand.
He looks taken aback at her sudden hiss. "...Is there problem?"

>>73466
"Even better, Good Girls arent really my type."
>>73467
"well,they volunteered at the camp to help Little ponys get better at math."

>>73471
"You tell me, Communist"

>>73472
>>73473
He partially listens to Dark Star's explanation, instead focused on Blue Skies' reaction. "Oh, right. Accent." He just sounds tired of the reaction, as if it's not nearly the first time he's heard it. "I am not Communist as you say. I was just born in Severyana."

>>73474
She takes a drink
"What are you doing down here?"
She, too, has an accent, harder to place

>>73475
"Looking for employment." He matches her drink, while trying to place the accent. As far as he knows, it's not one common to Equestria.

>>73476
"Not enough on the collective farms?"

>>73477
"Seemed like city rich with opportunity." He lowers his eyes a little, but it's more part of the growing look of confusion on his face as her accent stumps him.

>>73478
He eventually starts to think that it may be a hybrid
"What kind of employer are you looking for?"

>>73479
This opens up an entirely new level of fuckery for his mental faculties. "Something suiting my...talents."

>>73480
"What kind of talents?" She asks

>>73481
"In word: fighting."
