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.

Keskoo and Loputu run across Silver as they walk, with Loputu carrying a large basket of items across his back, including bedsheets, a toothbrush holder, a lamp laid across his back, and so forth.

Keskoo:
“I think I have what I need. You two have been very helpful”

Loputu moves s large number of items from his back to the counter. It’s 120 bits in total, counting Silver’s gloves and the shampoo. That may sound like much, but it includes a set of silverware, bedsheets and covers, bathroom supplies, a few pots and pans, and items like a full lamp

Keskoo:
“In my home we had an oil lamp that we had to light with a match, and be careful not to turn it over. It had a slight smell to it. This ‘electric’ lamp is like something only the wealthier had. Even my apartment in the town had a lightbulb. But no lamp.”

Silver pays for everything, and helps to bring it to the cart.

"Electricity is still relatively new for me. It is wonderous thing. Even with something that is so simple as lighting, it is amazing seeing world go from candles and oil like when I was colt to electric light bulbs."

She looks back to him, and nearly exclaims as she remarks,
"There are so many new things here. Things I would not see at all in the village, and only sometimes in the town. Concrete, so many buildings, diesel boats, so much lights. It is both a wonder and a horror. How much has been built, and how far it is from nature"

"Yes...then, nature is both beauitful and dangerous. This urban landscape rising to take its place is both good and bad. What your view on it is depends on how much of each you see, I suppose."

Loputu adds his own bit
"When I was a yearling, my parents say I had a terrible fever. They took me to the doctors here and I recovered after a while. My father says he had siblings who died from such fevers and other diseases, and he thinks the doctor's medicine made the difference. The modern world may have given me buildings of great heights to fall from, or freezers to be almost trapped in, or.... other things. But I am here still, and I think it is because of it"

Keskoo, almost as if arguing against Silver, adds
“I want a safe home”

Loputu looks away, then back to Keskoo
“I was just saying. You’d probably want your foals to have modern medicine”
She looks back to him, and he quickly looks away
“Never.... nevermind”

Loputu takes extra haste in loading the bedsheets, shampoo, and the lamp into the cart. The lampshade has a kind of bee’s honeycomb pattern.

Instead of prestidigitation and open/close, I want Message and Detect magic.
My AC for this character is 10 unless she has a size modifier of being small. I haven't decided yet if she should be small. Probably.
Equipment:
A brown claok and a saddlebag with only a pouch of money in it.
She is purple/pink with dark purple eyes, and a light brown mane.
More description comming later.
But otherwise I feel done.
How much money can I have? I liked to be able to sleep somewhere and pay for the material components of my spells.

Don't unicorns have that automatically, or maybe it's not sufficiently worked out what racial spells unicorns have?

If I'm not mistaken a small size modifier would be like a dog or a creature definitely smaller than a pony, see the table here: https://dungeons.fandom.com/wiki/Table:_Creature_Size_and_Scale_(3.5e_Other)
Unless if your character is jailbait or a literal midget then I don't think "small" is possible.

Even as it takes time, they do get there. Keskoo does not live on the first floor, and Silver and Loputu have some difficulty bringing the mattress and other items of furniture up to her room. But they do start setting up the bed and mattress

Keskoo asks
"But... Do I need to find a factory job? I know we talked about this before, but..."

So on my need to buy list:
A small quare of silk.
A parchment rolled up into a small cone.
A bit of fleece.
A clear crystal or mineral prism.
A short piece of copper wire.
A bit of wool or a small lump of wax.
An eyelash encased in a bit of gum arabic.(wtf)

My cat doesn't have more then the first level. Let's say she just got it so I don't have to look to deeply into it.
He is feckled black with a white fur on his paws and on his neck like a bib.
Appearenly at first level he has these features: Alertness, improved evasion, share spells, empathic link.
Int 6.
Armor Adj. +1 Which is something I don't care about finding out right now.

So, his name is Slogo and her name is Fantasy Play.

So, is this enough to get started?

Silver looks up at her from putting in screws.

"Only if you want to. You could also put sewing machine and fabrics to use making and selling traditional garments to ponies in Little Skynavia, and repairing clothing that has been damaged. Loputu could spread word about your services among community, if he was interested in helping."

Alright

Fantasy Play steps out of the coach train car onto the concrete platform of Union Station, Baltimare. The steam easing out of the locomotive covers much of the platform in a mist, making the whole experience feel a bit like stepping through a misty veil, and it is indeed a new world beyond. The platforms have vualted glass ceilings above, and entering further into the station, she finds halls and shops and newspaper stands, all under ceilings of glass and stone, with neo-classical columns decorating the far walls, and marble floors with the names of the large Equestrian cities inscribed into them.

>>128405
She nods
"I shall try that then. The money you gave me - I don't know how long it will last me. But I hope it will last long enough to find customers. If it does not, I hear there is a factory making uniforms, and another making parts of parachutes here."

"Hopefully it will be. I can cover rent until you have steady source of income, so only things you should have to worry about are food and sewing supplies. I hope you know you can always come to me if you need help, though. And I imagine Loputu is much same way."

In the center of the station there is a little Kiosk
"New here, little pony?" The stallion asks
A map can be had for 1 bit.

Of course a less detailed map that only shows neighborhoods and transportation can be found on the wall for free

Fantasy Play may exam either map

She twists her lips somewhat, and places her right hoof to her chin
"I will admit, I do not know what these 'military fatigues' look like, or how to make them. But after so much you have done for me, I can try."

"Why sure you can, little pony"
He pulls the bit to himself, and slides over the map

Fantasy Play can see the city of Baltimare and surrounding communities. Baltimare is on the western shore of Horseshoe Bay, with harbors and industrial areas on the eastern side, The commercial district in the center and towards the west, and the city generally older and denser nearer the waterfront.

The city drops off into wild land fairly quickly south of the Hayseed River. To the North is the Eclipse gulf, a peninsula sticks out to the east and forms the northern shore of Horseshoe bay, between the bay and the eclipse gulf. To the west, a series of smaller towns and farms line up against the shore

"Oh, well you got plenty of places here. There's two hotels over here near Union Station. A little further in, you have the Lord Baltimare if you want to stay in style, and there are even cheaper places like hostels out in the Eastside. Look here"
He points down on the map
"Each of those orange dots is a hotel. You're going to have to ignore that one" He points to one near the center
"That's the Grand Baltimare. That one has been confiscated. And some of these are down for renovation, but most of them are open. You see here, these two, the Hinnyton and the Prancer. These are right by the station and are kind of cheap. And over there is the Lord Baltimare."

It takes a little time, but soon enough she has a bed with a mattress, bedsheets, and a pillow, with a nightstand with a mirror, a table, a couple chairs, a completely separate electric sowing machine with a stand, and a lamp.
