Up in the North, the ponies have successfully found who, or rather, what was damaging the mine. But their quest is not over, as they go to look for the source of the trouble. In Baltimare, Iron, Silver, and Dark Star enjoy the fruits of defeating the cultists, while Midnight herds the remaining rescues.

Silver can see his eyes, ears and head track onto the paper money as it floats through the air
"Really?! Aww, thanks!"
He seems elated, much like Keskoo was
"Just to explain this to my mother"

"We will say this is payment for doing work for me. You did do much in helping me with cart and furniture today."

"Well, you know I didn't do that much. Still though, I'll see if Rohke will sell. And I'll definitely have the money to take her out for dinner and movies these next few nights. Bet she's never seen one of those"

"That sounds like great idea for you and her to do. If I have not, then it is entirely possible she has not.
"You are good pony, Loputu. Continue being yourself, and you will get her someday."
He gives him a pat on the shoulder.
"And if you are ever in market for wingpony, I am always available."

"Well, I certainly wouldn't mind more of that" His eyes roll around, until they come back to Silver's with no smile
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you What happened to that mare who looked just like Keskoo, but with straight hair. The one who told me she did elderly care around here? At first I confused the two of them, they looked so much alike"

He nods, though something in his expression suggests he does not entirely understand
"It seemed strange to me..."
The ponies do not have to walk very far at all before they are back on Pelican lane. Her apartment is only a few blocks away. Loputu walks up to the property, and around the building, to find Rohke Meri still working on the boat, evidently scrubbing the deck. He looks over and sees the ponies
"Where have you been? I thought you would be back hours ago"

Fantasy wakes up from her nap with a big yawn. She and her cat stretches out their limbs a bit. She pat the cat on his head, which the cat leans into.
"So let's do what we came here to do," Fantasy says.

Whether the room is a suitable alternative to Nuzzleville, only Slogo knows. But the cat seems to have the lazy indifference that characterizes feline contentedness .

Fantasy puts the map on a nearby table as she plans her trip.
First things first, I need to buy material components for my spells.
Silk, fleece, and wool should probably be found in somekind of textile store. And shouldn't be too hard to find or expensive.
Parchment should be easily found in a book store.
But where am I suppose to find a copper wire and a prism, especially prism. A copper wire could probably be found in a hardware store. but I have no idea where to find a prism.
Maybe I should ask visit the academy first so I can ask them where they buy their material components? But without material components, how can I prove to them that I'm capable?
She nods to herself.
No. They should probably have materials to spare and then they can give me advice on where to find things.
She hammers her left hoof into her right.
It's settle then. I'm going to visit the academy first.
Does this city have and magic academy were ponies can study magic?
Also, what does this mean:
An eyelash encased in a bit of gum arabic.
What is specifically gum arabic?

Gum Arabic - "a gum exuded by some kinds of acacia, used in the food industry, in glue, as the binder for watercolor paints, and in incense."
There are indeed academies in Baltimare, though it doesn't appear that any of them specialize specifically in Magic
University of Baltimare, and James Haykins seem like they each have magical divisions that can rival the Magic Schools of old

Shit, that would have been a good place for it
Then again, Fantasy Play doesn't have that as one of her skills
Either way, "University of Baltimare" and "James Haykins" would be marked on the map, and probably at least one other university

I'm sorry. I have this tendecy to ask first and search later. Could have just searched that. Sorry.
Fantasy lifts up her coin pouch, pours out bits which totals to 300, leave the rest of the bits in the pouch and places it on the bed next to the cat. She then wipe with her hoof down the coins into her saddlebag, so they lay in it loosely.
"Bye, Slogo. Gaurd that pouch with your life," she says and winks playfully at him as she exit her room.
She leaves the building and starts her journey towards the closest of the schools.

Slogo rolls over onto his back, llooking up lethargically at her. Clearly, he intends to make good on Fantasy's direction.
University of Baltimare is around Eastside near the center. James Haykins is a little North of Center. Saint Ingram is another option. University of Baltimare is the largest, and technically the closest, and it is a public school run by the Government. James Haykins is Private, and the most prestigious. It is the second closest. Saint Ingram has a prestige to itself, and is Private and Church run. It's also the furthest away

Yes. 2:12 PM.
Fantasy Play walks down a street past a few large public buildings like a library, a few office buildings, and into indefinite rows of tenement buildings and row houses. Not every street is completely clean, some with having garbage bags not yet collected, or potholes in the road, and this becomes truer the further east she goes.
But it's no more than a kilometer, if that, before she arrives at a set of blocks with big brick and stone buildings, marked as fraternity houses, or dorms. Some old buildings with class rooms, and some newer buildings with straight, concrete and glass exteriors that lack any of the charm of the older buildings. She is here

Well that's a surprising change
Fantasy Play goes back into town, to find it not that many blocks from where she is staying.
It's four stories, kind of a brownish stone facade, with a high vaulted black roof and windows that stick out with "Juliet" balconies. A set of stone steps leads up to a set of doors.
To each side of the stone steps is a pony with a green helmet, and green uniforms. And at the top of the steps, is a creature Fantasy has likely heard of, but perhaps has not seen. A minotaur of greyish fur, standing and holding some kind of black gun.

Before Fantasy goes up, she is looking down, evidently typing on a type writer, and is nearly startled when Fantasy comes up

"Uh... Nuzzleville... Right. I've heard of it" She smiles awkwardly and unconvincingly
"But... Yes. The Princess tried to protect griffins against ponies, but not her own ponies against the Changelings. So the Blackhooves political party, then and now centered in the old Equestrian Dominion of New Mareland, seized Equestrian territory before it could be conquered by the Changelings in a longer and bloodier war. Then they made a deal with the Changelings to save much of Equestria. Now it's governed as a series of Autonomous regions under Blackhooves supervision. Not all that much of a difference, really. There was one Princess, and now there is one Duke to govern us."

Silver is able to find a grocery store quickly enough - they are very common - what's harder to find are some of the spices she requested, and rice noodles. Mint and Ginger are simple enough, but what the hell even is "Lemongrass"?

Going down the road Silver finds what is clearly the location implied, which even has some goods like certain plants outside. Inside, the walls are brick, packs of fireproofing hang across metal rafters on the cieling, and the rows are packed tightly together, with plants sticking out, and absolutely no room for two ponies to walk past each other. There is an entire aisle devoted to coconuts, coconut milk, coconut cream, and other coconut products. But Silver can clearly find what appears to be large quantities of Lemongrass, spices like curry, and even rice noodles

At the counter, he finds another male Kirin - only like the sixth or so Kirin he's seen anywhere, and the fourth he's interacted with. The Kirin understands that Silver intends to purchase the items placed on the counter, and he points a hoof to the metal symbols that stick out from the register to show the cost (7 bits, if it even costs that much) and that is the extent of their ability to communicate with each other.
The store does have some other food items, if Silver were interested, like seaweed, coconuts, rice, and more coconuts

It’s a decent amount of groceries, but Silver is able to bring it up the stairs. He can see the two creatures outside, on the raised wooden porch next to the living room, looking out over the bay

"Ah, don't worry about it." She waves her hoof dismissively. "I probably wanna join. Do you have use for an illusionist in your ranks? You're preparing for war with the changelings again to retake Equestria, right?"
Fantasy Play polish her hoof against her coat.

Khoi has a bowl of grass, leaves, or done other sort of yard plant next to her that she seems to be eating. Jubilosa has a glass of wine and an open wine bottle next to her. They seem to be talking, and looking out over the bay.
Khoi must have heard him opening the door, because she looks back at him
>>128568
The receptionist looks at her with a skeptical expression, then pulls out a flashlight and shines it in her eyes. Fantasy Play is almost blinded by the sudden light
She pulls it down.
“The Blackhooves wish for the unification of East and West Equestria under pony rule, and wish for the return and preservation of all historically pony lands. However, the Blackhooves wish to achieve this by means of diplomacy and non-violence, with all respect for Changelingkind and their Queen, who has the only valid claim to lead Changelingkind. The New Mareland State certainly has no plans or intentions of any hostility with its Changeling neighbors.” Once she is done repeating this statement in monotone, she says
“But of course we have room for an illusionist! I’m sure Seabreeze would be happy to meet with you

"Actaully, I'm the representative of a powerful group of necromancers. We have a proposal to the Black hooves whic goes like this: You let us raise the many dead from the wars, and you let us experiment on changeling captives when we attack with our newfound undead army." Bluff: [1d20 = 16] +4
Is what I kinda wanted to post but I'll refrain frrom it because another idea popped up and it would probably derail things.
Here's her true response:
Fantasy smacks her lips then she gives the receptionist a smile.
"Well, ah. Yeah, mmm. No, this is probably my best option. Okay, I'll see this Seabreeze or yours. While you featch him, I encourage you to tell him to stallion up and make a move on you already," Fantasy says as her playful smile returns.

This makes her jump up onto her claws
“There’s meat?!?”
Then she looks over past Silver, presumably into the dining area with an “oh” expression, and says much more calmly
“Yes, I would like to go. Even if I do have to share with that creature”
>>128577
She blushes, and smiles awkwardly
“Oh... okay then. I’ll get him for you”
Just for reference sake, there is at least one guard inside of the lobby area
The mare comes back with a limping stallion. He looks to be 30 or so, likely older, and is a unicorn with a dark blue coat, a green uniform, an even darker mane and light yellow eyes. But that isn’t the first thing you’d notice about him. His horn is cracked, and has a silver cap. His right foreleg and hind leg are entirely gone, all the way up to his upper thigh, replaced with wood and metal prosthetics that let him sort of limp around. His right cutie mark is entirely gone, with just scarred pink skin in its place
“Hello there, missie” he says with some kind of accent

As she stands up, she is clearly smiling, and her wings unfold in part as she walks back around
“Oh yes! I haven’t had mutton in a while... I do feel sorry for Khoi though. She seems to want to make dinner. Although I’m not sure she and I are on the same page about what is edible...”

Jubilosa stretches out her body, including especially her rear paws. She really does look like a long and slender cat. Then she stretches out each wing. First her left, then she closes that, and stretches out her right. Long, mostly white feathers on a brown wing. Each wing is rather long, longer even than a pegasi's.
"Alright. I'll try not to eat too much, but I really am hungry"
>>128584
"Well" He offers a hoof, his left hoof to shake
"Why don't you come in and tell me a bit about yourself. Of course we accept new members, if we believe we can trust you"

The unicorn can't help but appreciate the elegance and grace of the griffon form before him. He snaps out of it after a couple seconds, and smiles at her.
"Alright, let us go."
He heads inside to leave out the front door, waving at Khoi and letting them know they'll be back for dinner.

She doesn't seem to mind Silver looking at her in that sort of way, judging from how he looks at her. She tucks her wings back in place, and follows him
"Alright"
Khoi is already cutting vegetables with a long knife. Even if some of her ingredients are unfamiliar to Silver, her selection of vegan ingredients still seems to have some appeal (or at least, would to the average pony). She looks confused and almost distressed that the two are leaving now
"You are leaving?"
But she backs off
"Very well. This will be ready"

He takes her down a hall, into a room, alone with him. It's not a very long walk. When they get inside, it is obviously a hotel room, or at least, once was. But there is no bed there. Rather a set of chairs, and a table. He wobbles over at the slow paced speed of the disabled, and sits in a chair across from her.
"So. You are looking to join, you say? Why?"
>>128589
She almost seems to grab his foreleg, but then refrains
Silver finds that for all that Cherry Hill has to offer, a large number of taxis is not one of them. But he is able to walk down a couple blocks, and a taxi drives by them, which they hail. A young pegasus drives.

Judging that the intent behind opening the door was as a sign of courtesy, rather than to imply that she was weak and incapable, Jubilosa ultimately decides to smile at this gesture. She gets in next to him, and the pegasus places the automobile in gear, and drives.
Jubilosa is startled by the sudden increase in speed and holds onto Silver, and continues to do this for essentially the entire trip. Griffin talons are sharp.

The Silver pony ultimately doesn't mind, holding Jubilosa in turn. Pony hooves are not quite as sharp as talons. He looks over at her.
"I do not know how long you will be staying for, but I suppose it would be good idea to know not only what you can eat, but what you like to eat."

"I was not born this way. Nor did I become like this through being 'passive.' Ponykind is special among all creatures. Ponykind learned the ways of friendship and Harmony. Ponykind learned the secrets of Magic, and built and Empire that lasted a thousand years. The Griffins couldn't even make it 250. And Ponykind found its place as guardian over nature. Master over the weather. Master even, over the sun and moon. Faustian civilization is precious, and very much worth preserving. But it must be preserved by Iron and Blood. Lots of Iron, and lots of Blood. And no matter what that purple pretender princess thought, it will not be preserved or spread by prostrating down before non-pony cultures. Ponies must recognize their strength, or else, the light of Faustian Civilization will be extinguished. Either conquered, or fall into its long night.
What you must understand is that Ponykind, and Faustian Civilization as a whole, is under attack from every direction. Writers and playwrites who want to say that Ponykind has always been 'oppressive' or colonial towards non-ponies and various groups, who want to 'liberate' ponies from traditions. Communists, who want to eliminate all nations and cultures, and subject all races to the rule of the lowest common denominator. The "Equestrian Liberation Front," who rightly want to restore their nation, but who wrongly think that giving it back to the Purple Princess will mean anything other than its slow disintegration. Griffins - many, many different griffin nations, who seek to take pony land. And yes, even the Changelings.
What you've encountered are the provisions of the Marelotov-Buggentrop Pact. It's the Peace Treaty that allowed Pony rule to remain in the Eastern half of the country, even as Equestria lost the war. This Pact also allows us to - for now - focus our attention on the Griffin and Hippogriff Menace abroad. We cannot now afford a two front war, and any measure that delays a war with the Changelings gives us time to build up our forces and defenses. We are not foolish. We do not expect the Changelings to maintain this pact for forever. But we are not going to be the ones to break it. Not yet. Not until our Griffonian land is secured. Not until we have convinced the Equestrian population to fight under us. Then - if Chrysalis will not accept an offer of non-pony lands in exchange for pony lands - we will be ready for that fight."

A few days ago we came upon the safehouse of a communist group in Southern Baltimare. They may still have weapons there. We also found information concerning Anarchist cooperation with the Popular Front. Likewise, we believe the ELF is consorting with foreign groups to sabotage buildings."

She moves her head back in something like surprise
".... Maybe..."
She looks away

"What is ELF? I'm very new, I came here today looking for love. I'm from Nuzzleville, which I really should stop saying because nopony knows what that is, but ehh... Yeah, what is ELF?"

He twists his mouth
"The ELF is the Equestrian Liberation Front. It's a group of naive ponies who think that undermining the occupation force will do anything other than give the Changelings an opening to invade."
>>128621
Griffin is surprise hugged
She pulls away, but Silver still gets a good feel of her. Nice and slim.
On a side note, Silver better not be allergic to cats

"Bribery, other potential invasion targets like Yakyakistan, and the losses in the last war. The ELF, Popular Front and the Hippogriffs do not attack us alone, and it helps that Chrysalis already has her revenge on those who foiled her before."
>>128627
I'm assuming this means that Silver wants the Taxi to remain there. If so, the taxi waits

Silver goes back up to the room formerly used by Onyx, and opens the door. He sees Mala near the back, looking down at the floor, kind of sad.

Fantasy walks up to a window and starres out of it.
"My forte is illusions. I used to play wiith the foals back in Nuzzleville," she says.
She turns around and look at him.
"I need company for it, especially someone who can hurt since I don't have any damage spells. But yes, I'll help," she says.

"Yes, and I need to pick up material components for my spells before I go. When are we doing this?"
Fantasy plays with something on the table if there is something to poke on the table.

"Depending on exactly what you are doing, it could happen immediately. Are you sure you want to do this, and do it now? As opposed to perhaps doing illusionist jobs for other ponies"

"Ah ah ah. Mister Seabreeze, I don't like it when ponies play tricks on me. You clearly disclosed classified information to me. I shouldn't have a choice anymore."

"Is that what you think we have told you? Very well."
He repositions himself in the chair
"You're an illusion magic wielder, you say? Very well. Then let's see just how far you can get without being noticed. I am going to pair you with a certain agent of ours. She historically has specialized in testing the loyalty of NMAC soldiery recruited from non-pony races, and of collaborators. But very recently she has shown herself effective in recruiting and leading ponies outside of our organization. She will accompany you"

He is not as pleased by this

Mala looks over at Jubilosa, and Jubilosa looks back. Mala has a noticeable bulge in his belly, evidently from his feeding last night. Yet still, he's far from the ugliest of creatures, with a reasonable enough stripped tan coat, and hair that sometimes poofs up almost like a Mohawk, running from the back of his head down to his tail

Silver looks between the two.
"It will be nice to do something with my friends."
He gives the driver the location of the restaurant they're going to (the one where he first ate out at in Baltimare, where they serve meat), once Mala is inside.

Fantasy waves her hoof away dismissively.
"Regardless, if the information was true or not, the intetion to lay a trap for me was there. If I said I wanted to take sometime to mull it over you would have me followed to see where I would go, wouldn't you?"
She flashed him a smile.
"You should really congratulate me for seeing through your ploy. Or maybe I'm just reading to much into it."
Then she scratched the back of her head.

"I still want to join, however. I realized that there is something I must know before I can swear my allegiance to you, and can't ask you because your answer is biased. I must figure this out on my own, otherwise any oath I make to you is pointless."

Imagine he tells Fantasy Play that the Black Hooves have intel on the location on of a hideout for communist insurgents. In actuality, he has no such intel. He doesn't even know if the insurgents have hideouts at all. It was just a guess. Fantasy Play agrees that she will aid in the mission, but only later. She leaves. What the Blackhooves don't know is that Fantasy Play is actually an infiltrator working for the communists. And what Fantasy Play doesn't know is that she is being followed by a Blackhooves agent. So she goes back to where another communist insurgent is located - possibly even the safe house itself. "Our safehouse is compromised!" Fantasy exclaims. "Which one? The one on main street? Or in South side?" the insurgent answers back. And just like that, the follower knows that the insurgents do indeed have a safehouse - two of them - and the general locations of both.
>>128655
He looks her straight in the eye
"Very well. As I said, you do not need to be a proper member to work assignments. Nevertheless, I cannot say it is not a big commitment, that can affect many things in your life. I can say with certainty it did for me"

"That would have been helpful for my parents..."
Considering the Tavern's location in Eastside, it doesn't take long at all for Silver and Friends to arrive at their destination, located in the northern corner of Redheart near where Redheart, Eastide, and Cowtown meet. A single story building named "Rover and Grimm's Carnivora"
"Two bits" says the driver

Well, we have one who has unambiguously signed up with the Blackhooves, another who has signed up for the Changeling Hegemony, another who is apolitical but is working for a criminal syndicate, and another who would probably like ELF but thus far has if anything allied with Blackhooves

Her question is to tthe ELF since they seem to be under the impression that they can fight and bring liberty to Equestria, she plans to seek them out to see why they think so.
>>128670
I was under the impression that there were two seperate groups in different parts. Now it seems like there is just a bunch of solo missions. Going on. Not that there is any problem with that, I certainly don't have a problem with that. It was just my impression.

It is two separate groups in separate areas. One is working on a mission for the Changeling Hegemony. The second group was working for a faction related to but not the same as The Blackhooves, until recently completing it

"I'm sorry about my behavior. I have troubles not being a... Well, smug flank, it's hard."
She puts a hoof to her chest.
"When you spoke of ponies before, you actually plucked one of my heartstrings."
She moves towards the door.
"Thank you for taking your time and remember, In the end, you and I aren''t so different and I like you. You should always remember that."
