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.

The unicorn lets out a little giggle.
"Yes, it is not very nice thing."
Is the landlord still there?

Does Silver have his cart though?

Oof, reminds me of when I was moving and I had to move a refrigerator down three floors and across a distance of about one and a half city blocks. Hopefully that quadruped carry capacity comes into play. I expect to see rolls!

Loputu
"Well if all you want is to buy some furniture we can get some used. I know a family whose son is moving off to join the Overseas and I'm sure they'll sell his stuff for cheap"
He blinks, and looks back to Silver
"Or sure, we can buy more expensive new furniture, if you just want to show off"
The ponies start their way down Wintry, then to Horseman, then over into Sorrel Avenue. In the process, they leave Little Skynavia and enter Red Heart. As before, many of the buildings look older, run down, or in disrepair. Loputu tries to fill the silence with quips and stories, evidently to humor Keskoo and maybe Silver
"After seeing how nice those apartments were after being rebuilt, I'm starting to wonder if maybe they should have shelled more of the neighborhood"
"Oh! You see that alley right there? Right behind the Dumpster? So you know how when you charge at pigeons, they fly into the air? So a friend of mine and I wanted to know if griffins will fly into the air when you charge them, like giant birds. Now of course, griffins aren't going to be scared of a few little colts. So what we did was we took these big burlap sacks they use to put potatoes in, covered parts of it in oil, added some leaves. I even took a paper cement bag and added it into the mix, made ourselves some kind of costume where we looked like slime monsters that come out of the sewers. So we waited until night fall, and hid behind dumpsters. Then we'd wait for griffins to pass by, and we'd jump out and scare 'em. Turns out some of them did! Just like pigeons! One of them stayed and chased us, that wasn't as fun. But we did again. We found out it also works on Pegasi. Birds, right?"
Keskoo seems to find this funny
"So there was this fancy stallion who was pretty well known in the community who would walk down this way just about every Sunday, and he would wear this giant top hat that looked like one of those a magician would pull a rabbit out of, and I tell you you could fit a rabbit in that hat it was so big. He would wear a fancy coat and walk with this even fancier mare. And I thought I would prank him by sitting up on the roof top of this building. That building, right there, as he was rounding the corner, since he always took the same route. And I would wait there with a fishing pole, and hook that hat right off of his head. So I tried to do that, let the hook down as they were walking past, hoping they wouldn't see the hook. And the hook went just a centimeter too close to me and missed the hat. So I tried to pull the hook back up. But when I did, it got stuck in his coat! So I got spooked, and tried to reel it in! So I pulled on it - really should have just cut the line but i wasn't thinking straight - and that hook went right through and cut half of his coat. Didn't even notice until he rounded the corner and it was sliding down on his shoulder. I thought it was pretty funny, until he told my mother later. It was worth it though, for the expression on that mare's face when she saw him with the ripped coat."

Silver laughs at the story about the scared griffons and pegasi, and shakes his head in amusement at Loputu's second story.
"I did not get into very many antics as colt. There was time where my friends dared to me to swim across frozen river in winter. That was coldest I have ever been."

"Oh, well it doesn't get too cold here. At least the river never freezes over, or I haven't seen it freeze over, though there can be ice near the shore line. Harbor Bay doesn't either. We'd do all sorts of dares to go diving into the water though. Swim underneath some of the larger ships. Friend tried that once on a big ocean going freighter, swim under it. Lumine Põld was his name. He went under and was under a while, and when he came up again on the other side he was bleeding all over his back. Scraped the bottom of it and it was covered in barnacles. But there were all sorts of things like that. One time I was jumping between houses on the sea shore, failed to land on the other side and fell too floors. Broke a leg. My parents were not happy about that. Now if you want to talk about cold there was this one time with the freezers they use for fish hauls...."

"Well yeah. They can be kind of big and long. Kind of like the freezer's they'll have at the market, but much longer. So you can actually get inside of them. So I was out with a friend, it was the same pony, Lumine, he had a brother who worked at a fish processor, so we went there and were playing around with the equipment. I got into one of the freezers and laid in it, closed the door. Kind of like a coffin. And it was very cold and completely dark. Which I expected because it was a freezer. But when I tried to open the door it wouldn't open. So I tried again and it wouldn't open. I was almost panicking when Lumine opened the door, and I bolted out of there. I wasn't in it for very long but I'm almost afraid of those freezers ever since."

I've heard kind of similar stories from my Boomer parents and Gen X older brother that were about equal, so I figured I would translate these stories into an industrial urban seaside setting. Maybe the imitation of past eras doesn't translate well to the younger generations who have never gone outside to play with friends, but I am trying to attempting to recreate a place and time that no longer exists, not trying to impress

Same, my father had all sorts of stories from his youth. Never broke a bone or witnessed a major injury like that, though. Makes sense Silver would be desensitized or would make a wry comment.

Of course Silver would be desensitized, he’s seen worse just last night

"Oh, it would be. Maybe not as much as that other thing..."
Loputu and Keskoo look forward in silence
They approach the furniture store, which looks to be reasonably large with several styles, upon entering. No pony to great them immediately, but something closer in style, if not in goods sold, to a department store. Silver may recall that he has an additional, empty room at the beach house

She looks around, walking slowly. She passes by the dark varnished Victorian style headboards, and pays more attention to the lighter colored wooden headboards.
"I suppose I should take one of the smaller ones."
Then she comes to a headboard that is not varnished in dark brown, but has intricate patterns, including trees and snowflakes
"This one is pretty"

Iron blinks, having witnessed a mare talk to the magical object with a tilt of his head. "...I do not see the bronze object moving to reach whatever sort of food items you have just said," he comments, lightly tapping the communication device again to see if it reacted.

To do this, Iron must come up to White Sands so close he is almost touching her. Not that this is problematic. Tapping the brass object yields a slight ringing sound.
White Sans giggles in a sort of nervous way
"heh heh, it's a phone, to call the ponies downstairs, darling. Have you never seen a phone before?"

Iron blinks, turning to her while still rubbing coats. "...'pone'?" he mutters, clearly puzzled by the name choice "That is one weird name." He pokes the pone once more, eyeing it curiously "So it sends words to others? Because I still do not see it moving to report what you have asked."

She gives a toothy smile at him, awkwardly
"Darling, it's called a telephone. From ancient Trot, meaning "distant voice." It's a device that lets you talk to others."
She stares back at him awkwardly
"Think of it like..... object assisted shouting"
Looking at the object, it's a brass tube that expands on each end, that is connected by a wire to a metal base that has a wheel with many little holes

Iron is easily enough able to place the fore of his body over the small mare, and she smiles back to him in an almost devious kind of way that seems so much nicer that her earlier, toothy smile. There is something kind of soothing in the feel of the fur on her head..
It doesn't take that long for a knock to be heard on the door
"Room service"
"Come in!"
And a zebra stallion - almost a colt, and if Iron checks, no he does not look to be one of Black Cauldron's brothers - comes in pushing a cart that has several trays, including one with two levels. It includes nice brown breaded circles, syrup, a bowl of oatmeal, four muffins, and a pair of oranges and another of apples
>>127661
She closes her eyes and prances in place
"hehehe!"
Then she moves her legs apart in place
"I'll take it!"

Iron can't help but trail his eyes across the expansive number of options of the table, calculating from item to item as he proceeds to walk forward and inspect each and every food item as if he'd never seen most of the things, specially the fancy transportation they were brought in.

The zebra stallion wordlessly places the trays onto a table, and White Sands stands in her place. Iron can smell fresh baked pancakes, the sweet smell of syrup, and fruity smells from the muffins - both banana and blue berry. Coffee as well is placed on the table, next to the oatmeal, and the smell of it slowly starts to fill up the room

Eyeing over what Sands is doing, Iron decides to reciprocate, moving his snout towards the other coffee before moving his vision along the container, glancing at Sands' sipping.
After a bit, Iron opts to simply sink his snout into the container, attempting to sip the contents gently.

Sticking his snout in, the smell is strong and fresh, rising with the steam. Sipping the dark brown liquid, it is... hot. Very hot. Not so hot that he burns himself, but hot enough that it is unpleasant. The taste is bitter.

Iron can't help but grimace slightly at the taste, scrunching his snout lightly before continuing to push through the unpleasantries in both bitter taste and uncomfortable heat, deciding to gradually drink the item as he glances at the edible options.

White Sands sips the coffee almost delicately
“There is cream if you want some. I don’t know, you seem like the sort of stallion who likes their coffee ‘black’”

Iron shakes his head. "Thank you, but it will not be necessary," he responds, stretching his back "I simply wish to rid myself of my tiredness more than feeling cream in my mouth."
With that being said, Iron proceeds to go for the safe route, munching lazily on an assortment of fruits first, then potentially decide on being more adventurous when his stomach started to wake up his mind.
