Stanjez waves at you and throws a carving on the ground. As it breaks, there's a loud voice that bellows: "HELLO!"
He's surrounded by an incandescent light. To miss it, you'd have to be blind. You're on a boat, of some sort. It's a traditional crystal longboat. Where were you? What happened to get you here?
In any case, he seems to be well stocked on alcohol. About half of the ship is filled with kegs. You spy on the side of the containers the words:

Water of Life. Oh dear. Your weakness. And it looks like there's enough there to keep you out of the present for a considerable amount of time.

"Crystalport."
The ancient city of Crystalport existed back before the Crystal Event, though it had a different name back then. The original name has since been lost to the ages, but it was once a great port city in the east of the Northern Lands.

"I have a few loose ends in life.
For one, I have had a colorful past. But a lot of it has been forgotten in the sands of time. So I wish to remember it once more.
For another, my years on the road of the world did not leave me alone. I have three sons. And I suppose at least one of them would be happy that one of us died facing the other.
Provided I survive that, I suppose I'd like to find one last cause worth giving my everything for. Retirement just made me dusty and dull."

"Well, you're really my only friend right now, except Stanjez, I guess. And he's a little odd. And I put up with your drinking before… I still will, but if you just go into a drinking coma and never come out, I'd have no reason to stay here. So… you have to visit from dreamland if you want me to stay."

Today is a special day. Whether it is or not to you doesn't matter: it is to the audience. And no one can perform like you can. The Equestrian officers are all in town, and they want a song. Well, you're the best.
♫♪ "Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday, Miss Princess,
Happy Birthday to you.
Thanks, Miss Princess,
For all the things you've done
The battles that you've won
The way you deal with Equestrian steel
And our problems by the ton
We thank you so much
Happy birthday!" ♪♫
The crowd goes wild! They're hooting and hollering. But your act is over, and the curtain falls. They cry out for an encore. But a jenny like you never rests. You have business to take care of.
Anneiv is the cultural capital of the world – and where you made your name. But in the underworld of this great metropolis lays a terrible evil. As he mist of the evening falls over the town, beautiful girls like yourself have been disappearing. It's about time you move along… but first you're going to have to collect your backpay from your terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad contractor, the owner of the War Games club. You also want to go get your things from your flat, and say goodbye to a few friends. After that… to find a ship out of this place. Ideally, all before sunset.
-Collect money from no good contractor
-Collect things from apartment
-Start spreading the news: I'm leaving today
-Find a ship out of this place

You're packing up your instrument and a couple of spare dresses – the only things you keep around here anyway – when a shadowy figure approaches from deep in the recesses of backstage…
The only way to go from here is toward the figure, hide in your dressing room, back toward the stage, down the stage exit into the audience, or the back door into the alley.

Indeed, the audience can be heard moving around back beyond the curtain.
Never could shake that homey Scotish accent, could you? Perhaps for a sweet little thing like you – pure in spite of your popularity – it's a thing of embarrassment. But it's no coincidence that a little lady like yourself has risen to fame, regardless of your own bafflement at your popularity. It's only a part of your charm, one imagines.
The figure breaks into the light. It's a smiling Equestrian officer – one you recognize, in fact. A lieutenant who has frequented this club over the years and has more than once sent you flowers. "Not even for a close admirer? I heard through the grapevine that this is your last show. Your beauty I can scarcely profess, so I don't have the hubris to think I can capture it for myself. But I think I could settle for being happy with your signature to look back on with fondness."

"I'll stop by this afternoon after we're beyond the first few miles. I want to make sure everything goes smoothly."

I'll crack a grin at that.
"You didn't need to ghost in like a spook, ya know. What with the missin' folks just piling up, you're like as much to give this gal a scare."
I'll take a moment to grab a playbill and a quill. There should be one floating around here somewhere. A quick signature, and he's got his autograph.
"Didn't think I'd passed around word I was leavin' yet, though. You've got pretty sharp ears."

He sets you down on the bed and kisses you on the nose.
"It feels natural."
You even think you might detect the slightest hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
>>577830
There are only two asses here: Wark and September.
I know what you mean, though! That airhead Cloud Clearer is around dusting the deck with the wrong end of a broom.
>>577831
He gives you a wink and gratefully accepts the autograph. "I heard it from your terrible, awful, no-good, very bad manager. Yet another complaint for you to lodge against the guy."
The sounds of the audience departing with the end of the show echo vaguely backstage.
He gives a little hopeless smile. "I'd offer to take you out for a coffee, if I didn't already know the answer. So, uh… good luck out there. It's a big world." With that, he blushes, and it brings color to your face as well. These moments of awkward attractedness never were your strong suit, were they?
"Right… I should go. Thanks again for the exception autograph."

"If I can't make an exception for such a good friend, then I'm not much of one, am I?"
I'll give a half-chuckle as well.
"I'm going to have to have words with that scuzzball before I go, though. If nothing else than to get my last pay."
I'll finish packing my things.
"Though, maybe one day I might take you up on that offer for coffee."
I'll flash him a quick grin, and then head out the audience-side exit.
Next up, I'll be putting out word that I'm heading out. Maybe a friend could tell me about a boat going out of this town.

"Y-yes… natural…" Blush and smile up at him.
"I-I can't promise you full submissiveness right away; I'm too… giving away that power over me is… scary. I'm… I'm shaking right now, scared out of my mind at how weak you make me, even though I know in my head that… that I want this…"
Sigh and give him a peck on the lips.
"And I do want this… I want it so badly… but it'll take time before I can… go as far as your culture asks."

A few ponies are still lingering in the club, but most of them left after the show. That's how it goes in showbusiness. In a town like this, they're probably on to the next club with the next performer… that's why this city is so great in a way. Inspiration everywhere you turn. That's how you improved your repertoire so much. You head out the door into the city, and a magnificent sight it is. The city which is never quiet: even here on the streets, you hear the thrum of the music from concert halls, and the upstarts on the street playing for change.
You have a few ponies you want to tell you're leaving.
-Your best friend, Nelly. She's a jenny like yourself, the only other one in town. It's no secret that she's not quite the bombshell you are, but somehow she has a sort of roguish confidence you've always envied. She's at her flat over near yours in residential.
-Black Box, your first manager. You haven't worked with him in a long time, but without this stallion, you might have never been discovered. He's probably at the Carnal Hall looking for new talent. You know the way to get to Carnal Hall: practice, practice, practice.
-Quick Stick, a drummer you did a duo run with. She's a really talented unicorn, and you wouldn't feel right without at least letting her know you're moving on. She's almost certainly performing at a nearby club, The Lousy Excuse.
>>577838
He give you an affable nod. "Ach, a bit outta sorts. Felt a wee bit sick earlier, but I think I ken shake it. And yerself?"
>>577839
He nuzzles you close. You feel his warm breath up against your breast.
"We have all the time in the world."

He nibbles at your ears. "I know what you want."
#He says with no inflection or hint of emotion. His catalyst tattoos glow faintly. You wonder what he's up to for a moment when you realize that vines have crept up from the corners of the bed and secured themselves around your legs: locking you in place. He climbs up, mounting you, but doesn't begin to grind just yet. Instead he surveys you for a response.
>>577848
Ba batabatatata bum ba tish tish tish bum batata bam bum tish tish bum.
"Don't push me. I am close to the edge. /
I'm trying not to lose my head."
Ba batabatatata bum ba tish tish tish bum batata bam bum tish tish bum.
The performance goes on for some time. The cool beats are relaxing and easy. They really help the tenseness melt away.
Soon, it's over. And with a few claps, Quick Stick heads backstage.

Real chill and smooth, the door swings open.
"Come on back. I'm just freshening up for the next act."
Her voice is so cool and relaxed. Easygoing. Almost disinterested, but you know her better than that. Even when she's playing hardcore speed drums, she has this perfect, untouchable cool. She's unflappable.

I gasp as the vines wrap themselves around me, not realizing what they're doing until it's too late to escape. My breathing begins to accelerate as I feel him climb up and mount me, looking up with wide eyes to see him looming over me…
He's completely in control, I realize. Nothing I do could possibly stop him… if I could even do anything. He owns me, owns my body to do with as he pleases…
I tilt my head back slightly and give one of the loudest, neediest moans I've ever heard myself make. The realization makes my cheeks flush even as I wait eagerly for his next move.

She doesn't move. Her eyes are still half-open. She has that cool composure on lock. "Cool. Listen… I've got a last beat for you."
>>577865
Your need only increases as he gently grinds your entrance without penetrating. You feel his long, coarse tongue work its way up your neck.
"You are already producing saltwater." He whispers, unerotically, "Soon I will insert my penis into you regardless of your will. This is because, as your mate, I know what is best for you. I will proceed to make you feel pleasure without concern as to your feelings about this, because you belong to me. You will thank me now."
Even as he rubs against your region, the vines have continued to shift: keeping you securely wrapped as they stimulate your teats.
>>577868
"Haven't met him yet. Jus' as well, if he's leavin', aye?"

It catches you off guard right away as she starts. The beats are so slow, with great lengthy rhythmic beats in between the lyrics.
"Into you.

Suddenly the beat picks up and she breaks into the next verses.
"Crazy into you. Crazy into you.

There's a long, slow, and softening rhythmic section, and finally she ends:
"Into you."
Wow. No one has ever flirted with you in poetry form. You can't help yourself: the blush is overtaking you. …How do you feel about this advance? She's always played it so cool up to now… you had no idea.

Gasp and whine as he grinds against me, my mouth hanging open as he runs his tongue up my neck. Oh fuck, if he learned how to give oral, I might not survive the experience…
I whimper as he speaks, fighting against my pride as it screams that this is humiliating, that I should make him pay for speaking to me like that…
"T-thank…" I manage to stutter out. "T-thank… you, Ciddir… T-thank you for owning meeEEEEH!"
My voice shoots up another octave as his vines find my teats, sending another surge of electric sensation up my spine, making me strain against the vines in an attempt to hump into him before I manage to force myself to relax again.

"Good mate."
With that, he jarringly inserts, sending a new wave into you. With the anticipation and the buildup, it only takes you a few thrusts before you both 'culminate'. That would hardly be the end of the experience, of course. It would continue for a time of surprising stamina. Eventually, you pass out, perhaps from exhaustion or sensory overload. FTB.

You wouldn't think a donkey could turn red, but it's happening.
I'll gulp slightly.
"I'm flattered, really, but I can't… gosh, you really have the timing to spring this on a gal, don' you."
I'll bury my face in my hooves.

The hall is truly an impressive sight: the crown jewel of the town, in fact. You've performed here a few times: that's a testament to your skill and popularity, though you'd never admit to such things, would you?
In any case, he has an office inside, as any great talent scout does. Of course, when you met him, he wasn't such a big shot, but you're sure he'll still have the time of day for you.
>>577899
She raises a brow in amusement. "It sounds like I can't get rid of you one way or another, so you're free to stick around."

@Emrille:
Dinner was good. You slept and finally caught up to the day of making landfall. If you have anything you want to do before lunch and your afternoon of being tiny pone, do it now.
@Chip:
She doesn't seem too offended by your 'reputation.'
@Selena:
You awaken on the day of arrival to the great river of Nea. To your surprise, you feel extra warm and fuzzy. Maybe Aloe found a blanket for you in the night.

The kick never quite goes away. With a slam, you bash up against the metal bars of the cage. This elicits a glance your way from Topaz. "Alright?"
Sure enough, glancing down at your region, you now have a wang.

"Looks like 18% gold to me."
She said it without even more than a glance. She didn't even get out any tools. She turns back to her work immediately.

Sure enough, glancing down at your region, you now have a wang.
>>578586
"Looks like 18% gold to me."
She said it without even more than a glance. She didn't even get out any tools. She turns back to her work immediately.
>>578605
She gives you a look.
"I'm not going to drink at all if you get pawsy with me. If you can manage to enjoy a drink as friends instead of getting all amorous, then bring down your favorite. I don't care either way."
>>578606
"Fine, fine. Is that all?"
>>578607
"Always!"
With that, she spins around in place and positions herself on the bed for you, and raises her tail.
"Whenever we make love like this… it reminds me of when we made Lilly."
She gives you a look.

>>578612
Yep, he just got off.
"Well, let's head to this appointment quickly, Mr. Chip. I have another appointment after lunch."
>>578613
It's the only quarters on the Hourglass. You can't get in without her because of the door enchantment.
>>578614
She already moans with pleasure. How she wants it!
"I'll defer to your judgment~"

I look at Abilio.
"Sir do you remember the magic catalyst system being used to prevent our flying boys and our cannons from bombarding the last castle that we sieged in Neighpon. Me and Ms. Topaz have discussed the possibility of using that technology to give the ships a bit of upgrade. Our magic users can use the magic catalyst system to amplify their magic and instead of casting it locally like to a single person or to themselves, they can apply their magic to the whole crew and the whole ship that has been equipped with the magic catalyst sytem."
I then gulp.
"I need your expertise about magic sir for I do not know if it is a practical system. I am afraid that one miscast or if one wrong spell is applied it will bring a ship down immedietely. plus the dangers of an enemy boarding the ship then using the system against us is also a possibilty unless a fail-safe is attached to it like some sort of key or I dont know. As for the pro's though, I mean if we have a spellcaster able to cast invisibility or a magical barrier, then they can use their magic on a whole ship instead of just themselves…."
"So sir what is your opinion about this?"
I look at Abilio.

"So sir what is your opinion about this?"
>>578623
"You have a better understanding of the risks than I'd expect. But you seem to get the gist. Of course, the problem with putting up a magical shield is that it would prevent us from boarding or firing cannonballs. Of course we could shield just the deck and still shoot cannonballs but not board, although the enemy is aiming for the body of the ship, not the deck. They usually want to sink us. It's not an awful idea, if we have the money to do it. How much of the material was recovered?"
"They only brought back one of the conductors. The castle must have had many to have a shield that big."
"What's it made out of?"
"The most magically conductive metal in the world: Kobold Iron. If it were up to me, I'd melt it down and sell it for scrap."
"Hm… well, we'll hold onto it for now. Maybe after this next job we'll have the money to invest in the plan, but let's table it until then. It's good initiative though, Chip. You're smarter than I took you for. Not a bad idea."
>>578624
She grinds up against you.
"Mmm… I'm just glad I have a… suitor of my own to pound me~!"
>>578625

Hamburger for it is!
>>578627
FTB it is.
You keep going all morning until she walks funny. She's getting good at that, though.
Finally, when you're breathlessly panting, fully relaxed on the bed, she lets out a big sigh.
"I… needed that. I think I can apologize to Wark now. No gimmicks… I feel a lot more relaxed."

I scratch my head.
"Alright sir, I understand. perhaps we will be able to gather more idea's to overcome the weaknesses and the challenges of the system. In the meanwhile, thanks for listening to my proposal to improve the ships."
I then look at Topaz.
"As for scrapping the kobold iron, why is that? Is Kobold Iron a rare thing?"
I scratch my head.

I then look at Topaz.
"As for scrapping the kobold iron, why is that? Is Kobold Iron a rare thing?"
>>578630
"Yes, it's very expensive. Listen, magic can be conducted through almost anything. Even wood, and yes, keratin. Only certain materials conduct magic at a higher efficiency, though. Kobold Iron is one of those materials. Conversely, some materials are magic insulators. Highly corrupt Pig Silver, for example. Also synthetics, though those are just as rare."
>>578631
Yep. He's about, surveying the fort.
>>578632
"Whatever you want~"

"I wouldn't say I have a talent for it, to be honest. Maybe you should ask the cooks. Actually, Salty Slugs has an amazing sense of taste, it's astonishing that we found him in Neighpon. I should really ask how he ended up there. He's a bit of an oddball, though. Actually, he might like you more, as you currently are."
>>578707
She's in her room.
"Well, there you are."
>>578708
ctrl f @Selena
>>578709
"Already have. Look at Frankfurterfort. It's twice, perhaps even three times the fort the old one was."

The sheets pull close. Then they shift about to get comfortable and settle into place.
>>578712
"If I recall correctly, it was an eight year old pegasus."
>>578713
"Ugh, a bit embarrassing. I eat a lot of high class food, but I like simple peanut butter sandwiches. And yourself?"
>>578714
"At times. This vessel is a bit more manageable, of course, than the Eagle's Roost. That ship was quite the experience."

You're snuggling up with the Creeping Pseudopod Lichen, which has settled on top of youwhere it is sunning itself under the few rays of light coming in through the window.
>>578718
"It was impressive to look at. I think Smitts thought intimidation was very important. Remember that we didn't actually do much fighting under Smitts, but people were always afraid of us? His game was to scare them into submission and pillage without a fight."
>>578719
"Sometimes I wonder which one is your real form!"
>>578720
"Hm. I guess I expected something Dixie."

The lichen lands legs up on the floor near you. It bends its legs in the opposite direction and stands back up, inverted. It ignores you and moves back into the sunlight, oh so slowly: it creeps along like a sloth.
Aloe is now up. "Where's the fire, honey?"
>>578725
"Yes, I don't think many paid close attention to his game."
>>578726
"You abstain from so many pleasures in life."

"I recall someone begging to come into this fortress not long ago."
>>578733
"I don't know if I could help you there. You saw him in command longer than I did. Back before our captain split off he was just a mate on the Pillager's Fancy. Not even a particularly high ranking mate. Things changed."

"I agree, but the greatest pleasure in life is living. Unfortunately, my condition is one which threatens that very thing if I am not careful. Alcohol, sugar, tobacco… these are things I must be careful with. Too much and I could irreversibly damage my own body. I did not survive this long without a reason, because most ponies thought I would never live to be thirty."

"So far, him being commodore make's the fleet a bit more lax and open to any method of raking in the bits. Be it legal or illegal. As far as I know he allows anything as long as he knows what it is. That is why I like him being a commodore, the only thing I do… not know much about him is that he is quite secretive, even though I consider him my friend he does not tell me about his past or what he is up to… those are the only things that I kind of saddens me, but him being at my back from the first day I joined this fleet makes up for all of it. I mean I might still be in prison if this collection of crew and ships didnt get me out of it in the first place."

"Just as true, Al-Jinn was the one who insisted on breaking you out of that prison, and yet he was the one who killed Smitts and was also lost in battle. Remember?"
>>578747
"We were already winning that siege. You benefited more from not bleeding to death. You used up most of our medical supplies."
>>578748
Nope, they're fine. Looks like it's more interested in light than plants for food right now.
>>578749
"Farewell."
Where to?

I lower my head remembering it as I drink wine.
"Its… a shame really. I was looking forward one day for Al-jinn to teach me about is secrets, he was an honorable guy but like Smitts you dont know what is running through their mind. If I just approached the old guy and make him ease up it wouldnt end like this, its just a shame…. "
"Its quite tragic considering the two personalities who breaks you out and gave you a second chance in life are the one's who feuds in the end and both die's in the end….." I just lower my gaze as I pour more wine.

Salty Slugs flexes as you approach, then puts a hoof on your shoulder.
"I see you've joined the fairer sex. Good for you, Mister Heart. How's it feel? Invigorating? Good. Let's have some real talk. Man-to-man. You earned it."
>>578752
"Yeah, whose spear was that? And whose spear gun? And whose stone? None were yours, that's for sure."
>>578753
"Well, unless you get it something else to eat, right? Plants don't care what they eat, they just go where they have to for food. We're already near land in this river… we could just have a pegasus go get a bunch of grass, honey."
>>578754
"Maybe you know how I have mixed feelings about Umlock."

What do you want to do? Talk to a pone? That's short.
Sir J.C. Lawrence, for instance?
>>578978
"You don't need to talk. Maybe just pump some iron. Having a point is for temptresses. I know you're new so you get a pass."
>>578979
"Good luck then, sugar bun."
>>578980
"I'm just saying – I believe in teamwork. Community. That's why I built this place with my own hooves. And teamwork saved us in Roads, not one pony."

He's in the pub, having tea.
"Jolly good then. Would you like a cup?"
>>578984
There are menials about. Griffons and pegasi.
>>578986
"You never said thank you for when we saved your life. And in fact, you didn't save a lot of the lives here – many are new, and all of the ones who were old except myself and Burnside were ones you failed to save. And that's besides the fact that killing the dragon didn't actually save anyone. That was just revenge for you."
>>578987
She's down working on the mint.

"I'm on break."
>>578991
"She does have a fondness for laconics, doesn't she? Turn around."
>>578992

Take a quick sip.
"I must confess, I'm a passionate stallion.
If there's one thing that gets my blood boiling, is battle. And in thinking of past glories, I lost sight of how others might react.
It was extremely rude of me to talk that way about your country, Sir Lawrence.
It deserves better than war and foreign hooves on its soil."

>>578985
"Yeah, well, you could pump some smaller barbells. I mean, it's putting in the effort that counts. I mean, carrying around a gun is practically like carrying around a tiny weight. What else would you carry a gun around for?"
>>578995
You feel something weird and suctiony touch your flank. A moment later it plops off. "Okay, you can go."
>>578996
"Hm, well, thank you for the courtesy. I will tell you, though, that my knighthood is not an Equestrian style. I was granted this honor by the queen, many years ago when Great Bridle was an independent state. I think you will find most Bridons take great pride in the memory of the nation and its flowing hills."
>>578997
You're technically back on Equestrian soil. No real civilization out here. You pick some grass.
>>578998
"You did split up for a few months. And constantly batter and belittle one another. I'm not saying it's not a legitimate alternative to affection, but you clearly have a thing for conflict."

>>579001
"It was just a suggestion, not mandatory. In any case, I see manly purpose in the way you carry yourself. What do you need, brother?"
>>579002
Noted. After that, it's off to Wark. He's caring for Lilly and Adel in Light Heart's room. Rosemary is laying on the bed.
>>579003
"It's not as though I have not had plenty of offers. But some of us are responsible adults. I don't have time for a relationship right now."
>>579004

They're so cute! You can't register any other features because mom-o-vision is overriding it all to just say ADORBS.
Rosemary gives a tired nod.
Wark gives you another, but his is a little more mocking, as a reflection.
>>579007
"No offense intended, but I try to stay away from temptresses as much as possible. But now that you're a stallion I know that you're completely trustworthy."
>>579008
"I'm afraid I'd blather on all afternoon. It really is a culture one must experience for one's self, I'm afraid."
>>579009
"Yarrgh. We're on a pirate vessel. I get enough granny treatment to confuse it for a cruise liner."
>>579010
"The things that interest you are so transient."

>>579013
"All mares are, you know. You'll need to be on guard for that, now that you're a stallion. There's a feminist conspiracy. Have you ever noticed that something like seventy or eighty percent of the population is female? And the central and local leadership of most countries is female? It's only here in a good, free fleet of pirates you can find a good, patriarchal system. Pretty much the only place for me to go when that collapsed was Neighpon. Male Emperor."
>>579014
"Alright, careful now."
Little Adel is very collected. She gives a tiny little sigh and snuggles back into the blanket she's wrapped in, as Wark hands her to you.
"Came here just ta admire tha girls, then?"
>>579015
"See ya."
Kind of a weird colloquialism for an elderly pony.

"All mares are, you know. You'll need to be on guard for that, now that you're a stallion. There's a feminist conspiracy. Have you ever noticed that something like seventy or eighty percent of the population is female? And the central and local leadership of most countries is female? It's only here in a good, free fleet of pirates you can find a good, patriarchal system. Pretty much the only place for me to go when that collapsed was Neighpon. Male Emperor."
>>579014
"Alright, careful now."
Little Adel is very collected. She gives a tiny little sigh and snuggles back into the blanket she's wrapped in, as Wark hands her to you.
"Came here just ta admire tha girls, then?"
>>579015
"See ya."
Kind of a weird colloquialism for an elderly pony.
>>579016
Hold the tiny pony very carefully. I smile wide as I look at her. "I should have come sooner for that. Mister Wark, I wanted to talk about the trotantine potion you bought once. The one to turn a pony into a donkey? Do you remember the ingredients in that?"
Keep looking at the tiny pony.

"But our last three commodores? Men."
>>579018
"Again, only an observation. You take everything as some kind of slight. Why do you even come here if you're just going to get angry at everything I say? I thought we'd been through some shit together and every time you stop by all you do is bitch or ask for something. How about you just come by to play poker or get a drink or something? Or fuck, help put up a house."
>>579019
"Well, I could give you the old one-two. Although I am more of a rifleman. I suppose it must be difficult to find sparring partners who still operate primarily with blades. It seems the clock marches onward."
>>579020
Tiny donk.
"I actually still have a little bit left, if you could analyze it or something. I only know one ingredient, though. We came to you for the rest, remember?"

Practically twins!
…Maybe you haven't seen enough donkeys to know what their distinguishing traits are…
>>579026
"Well, you swing by uninvited all the time and I'm fine with that. I didn't think you would need an invitation."
>>579027
"Yep. Reinstated in my old job, too. Cooking on the Seaworthy."
>>579028
"Well, you know the old saying. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."

"Anneiv will soon be upon us, ponies are beginning to wake up."
I chuckle.
"I will try to keep this brief to save us both time. I am planning on hosting a feast on the fleet, but I will need some aid when it comes to financial matters. I understand the fleet itself does not have the spare money to spend on these things, but I may have. I am merely curious how much such an event would cost. Drinks, food, entertainment… for the entire crew? I also understand the fleet has its own supply of rum and other beverages already."

He starts walking, so you trail after him into the hall. He leads you down to the bunkhouse, where he unlocks a chest and pulls out a mostly-empty bottle.
"I want ya ta make more of it."
>>579053
"Yep. I suppose next time we make port in the New World we might depart. You know, carry all the houses out and set up the fort in the real world instead of a mansion. Wanna come?"
>>579054
"Aren't you the party expert?"

"Getting restless, I guess. We've really hung around a long time, haven't we? But I have a chance to really make something here. Something lasting."
>>579058
"I would say one hogshead of 6% beer is enough for about 120 ponies. Meanwhile one stone of pizza pockets can feed about four ponies."
These are really oddly specific measurements. Also who measures hunger in number of pizza pockets?
"Nope."

I smile at her warmly.
"Yoo have a heart of Gold Ms. September, never have I seen a more forgiving character like you. Even right now it makes me think of those crewmates of ours in the past who are just lost when they have to choose sides…."
I then put paw on her shoulder.
"Do not let anyone take it from you."
I smile at her warmly.

She gives you a look like you're crazy. "I thought you said it was a party. Did you mean a tea party? Because the finesse of skirts might be lost on pirates."
>>579066
"Ponies with guns."
>>579068
"Tha only ingredient I know is tha tha guy wanted a hair from me. I dunno if it's significant because I'm a donkey or for… otha reasons. I dunno. Ya're tha alchemist. Ya would probably know more abou it than me. Does tha sound significant ta ya?"

"Well as far as I can say is that a person is a wolf to himself. I mean if you are saying that everyone can be a villain then yes everyone can be a villain on one's point of view. I mean surely I view myself as the awesome pirate who go and free the cities of Neighpon from the tyrannical rule of their despot masters but… those we sieged will surely view us as the villains of the story… if that is what you mean."
*hic
"Wow… didnt thought that liquor could make me think like those philosopher ponies I always hear my friends yapping about."

"It depends on material costs. You'd need about… hmm…well, bread is a must. And you can't have pizza pockets without cheese. That's… per stone… Without any fillers, just cheese, you could get it down to 11 bits per stone. Which means the cheapest you could throw this party is at 1595 plus 5040… 6635 bits."
>>579086
"We're on different vessels."
>>579087
"Jus' as well."
He plucks one. "There ya are."
>>579088
"Yes, it may be nice to not be feared for a change."

"Smitts was oldschool. Hardcore. I'm not sure what he saw in you. That's not an insult so much as… I don't know. He was hard to read. It's hard to say what he saw in common between the two of you."
>>579100
"So you just holdin' that hair cuz it's goin' in yer hopechest?"
It has moved with the slant of the sun. It seems pleased enough and is splayed out.
"Ya know, your little monster has been pretty well behaved. I guess he just wanted some light. Mhmmmm."

"Ciddir said the plants attracted him and that he probably had been on board for some time. As for the hair, mister Wark said he had to add it to the potion. I think this means the base works as a transformative potion and we merely have to add a hair of the correct species to choose a transformation."

I chuckle as I finish the last wine.
"I like it simple, too much thinking takes away the good stuff in life, like relaxing and sleeping, not to mention it adds something that can really destroy one's day and that is the term 'worry'. I dont like worrying about things that much you know, too much thinking… thats why I like it simple."
I then relax.
"Well talk about a lazy lifestyle but it does have it perks you know." I chuckle.

"Maybe you need a refresher course on subjective ingredients, sister. Sometimes ingredients behave differently in the presence of an emotion. Heart's Desire is one of those. It could just as easily be that Wark's hair was needed because he was the one who wanted the change. It was HIS desire. See? We need to do some testing."
>>579117
"Um, okay…? Well, tell me what it is, first."
>>579118
You have a letter from your nephew.

It's another update letter. You've been receiving these once every couple weeks over the last couple of months. Apparently you got through to your niece on your last visit. Usually she writes, but sometimes Chivalry does too. It's a pleasant reminder of home, but it's mostly nothing more than a summary of their goings on.
>>579121
"Well… alright."
She departs.
>>579122
"I don't know. The booze."

"All the while bathing in a hot tub surrounded by gold and such and everyone that is present is there for me for the taking.. uhhmmm.. mmmm… " I pant just imagining it.

It's something of a slow hour. Flowing Tree and a Great Bridle pone are here. Lacy is helping an older pony in a pith helmet run the place.
>>579125
Wunderbar!
"You have quite a talent, honey."
Roll perception.
>>579126
"No, though I've heard much of it. Many of the settlers of Dixie are Germane. Are you familiar with the Locus Inter?"
>>579127
"That's not surprising to me. Although… I wonder, are you an only child?"

>>579146
"I'll need to follow you regardless, but I suppose there's no reason I can't observe you from outside of the shadows."
>>579147
"Something like that. It's not quite the coordination I did back in the day, but it is exciting in its own way. These ships are quite titanic when you really appreciate them for their scope, are they not?"
>>579148
"They seem pretty dessicated already, so it can't hurt."
Currently you have a bowl with a flower in it.

"Well, then. I'll meet you at the docks when you're ready to hit the town."
>>579151
It's presently near-empty. It's you, Flowing, J.C., the two working the counter, and a couple of menials. For really cheap beer, about five bits.
"I hear it was mighty indeed."
>>579152
She blinks in surprise. "You didn't say that was an ingredient. Go ahead, honey."
She places a bucket below herself and stands still.
>>579153
>>579154
"Well, I think she looks cute."

"That is true, though she may act cold sometimes she has a good heart… that is why I am a bit afraid of dragging her in all of this. I mean I dont know if its the right thing to carry someone like her in a pirate ship… you know how sometimes this fleet can get into messy deals.. not to mention how deadly it can be." I look at the ground with worry.

"Well, it was about time you milked me anyway. By tomorrow I'd probably be sore, and if I go too long without being milked, I'll stop making it. I guess that won't be an issue soon, though, right, honey?"
>>579157
Ten.
>>579158
She's bouncing about and painting in her room.
>>579159
"Eh, whatever makes you happy. You didn't force her, right? So you're fine."

"I'd say it wouldn't matter!"
She sure has a lot of milk. You know that you won't produce as much as her, but it really gets you thinking about where your body will be going soon. And if you're like Light Heart, you're going to be 'milked' the natural way.
>>579171

"Awww… " I lower the bottle and stands straight.
"Actually I am here to ask on how far a postmaster like your-self could delver a letter, not to mention how long it could take to deliver such letter and if it will ever arrive to the one I intend to deliver it… considering I have no idea where they live now since its been a long time since I've seen my relatives. My only consolation is I know their name and what they looked like."
"And yes, I want a mail to be delivered. But I do still have to write about it."

"One life is as uninteresting as the other. I only have a few things worth mentioning. The Queen of Great Bridle knighted me before the annexation. I've lived most of my life among the Saddle Arabian horses. I've traveled most of the world and commanded more than one detachment of troops. Let's see… I did a little fighting in the wars with the Oddomanes. That's about all."

"Ohhhhkay. Alright. As long as you can fix it, I guess."
He swallows it.
After a moment, a brown coat slowly sprouts and he turns out a donkey!
>>579233
"That's an answer. Before you said you 'wouldn't mind'. Well it's certainly not for my sake is it? I'm a little old to be arm candy."
Indeed, he has a bushy gray mustache and hairs out his ears.

>>579247
He drinks, and finally shakes himself free of all that discolored hair.
"Whew… that kinda burned a bit. Well?"

Now that sunlight is no longer coming into the room, it is laying on top of that pile of leaves you left behind. It's sort of following you with its 'eye' thing. A bit vaguely, though.
>>579261
"It was kind of a vague offer, right? I dunno…"
>>579262
"Yes!"
>>579263
"They're all tempresses! Seductresses! Besides… you know about the feminist conspiracy, right?"

>>579271
"They were very ornate. They used all sorts of designs. But they left much to the imagination."
>>579272
Well, somewhere off the starboard bow is a major landmass.

>>579275
"Fair enough."
>>579274

>>579274
"What about them? They're ponies like you and me."
>>579277
"No! Too many mares is bad! They hold all the power on land! That's why I'm part of this fleet!"
>>579278
"Alright."
>>579279
I just grin at him and scratch my head.
"Alright you lost me here, You do understand that there are other place's besides Equestria right? And besides what is wrong with a female holding power if they worked for it? If they are qualified with the job why not? Just look at Ms. September."

"I suppose they have a culture of their own, but I mostly fought against them."
>>579281
"Well, you can have all the ashes you like. That's a standing offer."
>>579283
"Yes! Females are in power in a lot of places! But he female conspiracy is for Equestria to take over the world!"
>>579282
"A whole city of culture and music. It's quite nice from what I've heard. Every musician who has ever hit it big spent time in Anneiv."

The workshop is full of equipment, tools, and parts that will help you build simple contraptions, or repair more complex ones. It doesn't have bars of exotic metal, just things like bolts, screws, washers, frames, etc. There is a small forge and anvil here, though, with bars of simple iron stocked.

Chip is here, appraising the room.

Approach her and sit down.
"So this is where you are staying I see. Not bad if you ask me but needs a bit more work, perhaps time will tell but perhaps one day it can be upgraded to be a better workshop."
I then look at your work.
"So what is this little project the commodore has been asking?"

Sigh in relief and sag into his embrace, nuzzling submissively under his chin.
"I can do that. I… you know how I told you goats have multiple partners? Well… sometimes, very rarely, we find someone… one partner who we always go back to, no matter what. One partner we'd do anything for, because as far as we're concerned, they are our better half.
You are my better half, Ciddir. No matter who else I take as a partner… you will always come first in my heart."

Groan a bit. "They are notorious for playing pranks, trapping ponies, breaking stuff. Its why they have a bad reputation in neighpone for being bad luck. I'm kind of weird that I like to fix things instead.
Also there is the sweet nature loving fae, but most of those are more than happy to live forever in breezy valley."

"Well I have lived in the cities of Nodvogod with much of my early life… then its all in the sea's as much as I can remember.. The sea's is kind of wild too, it can destroy anything if one didnt give it the appropriate respect, but it can also give its riches to those who knows how it behaves and to those who can read its waves… I mean it is part of nature after all." I smile.

"Two or three days, depending on the wind, I'd guess."
>>579656
Face has the helm of the Sirocco. He's probably belowdecks. You remember that you have the helm of the Seaworthy in a few hours, so you should get any business you have for the day done before then.

I'll use some of the base and Warks hair to make another donk potion. I'll mark it with Wark1, I'll also take a dispel potion and mark it with antidote.
Then take the rest of the base, add the second of Manako's hairs and make a Breezie potion.
Mark it with "Manako."
Clean up the lab with Aloe. "That was a busy day."

"Yes, here and there. Making real progress. I think by the time we reach Anneiv, I will have a production ready."
>>579662
"Finally coming into the new age, eh? Well, it's a good choice. Guns represent freedom, you know. Independence. In any case, the range can be found inside the Mansion."
>>579663
She nods. "Your little monster hasn't moved off that pile. I was thinking… we're close to the top deck. If you could sweet talk an engineer, maybe we could get some kind of glass roof put in. That'd be the first step toward a real conservatory, baby. Not to mention, it'd make that blob thing happy."

"And not only."
Show the sheated katana.
"One of these swords in neighpon is so rare, you can't even have one made if you are not of noble birth.
And yet, it's a horrible sword, only used as a sidearm, made of brittle steel extracted from sand and unable to cut through iron.
All it's good for, is show."
Chuckle.
"And sentimental value.
Thanks, Master Strom. I will head for the range."
"And not only."

>>579673
"You have an artifact like that, on the ships? It sounds quite powerful. This must be the artifact you alluded to before. Well… I'll see if it has an application. It's not unusual to crossdress in theater, but changing gender might be too shocking for some of these fainthearted commoners."
>>579674
"Good talk, then."
>>579675
"If we definitely needed it, I already had it put in. We're stocked. You oughta take it easy for the baby, baby."

I then sit next to him.
"Perhaps we can exchange stories of how our day has been going by." I grin.
"You remember that magical barrier on that last fortress we got to siege in Neighpon? So both me, Abilio and Ms. Topaz talked about upgrading the fleet's ship and adding a magical conductor so we could do all kinds of fancy magical stuff on our ships… but it turns out that doing that kind of thing is a bit harder and expensive than what I imagined."

It's inside the Frankfurterfort, a place bustling with Hamburgerburgians. There are a number here, though you only recognize Strom. There's a mare here that everyone seems sweet on: as she sews out in the 'square', all the stallions hang about her like flies.
>>579678
"For me as well. When I lived in Saddle Arabia, I did shows for the emir. They also were of ponies. The emir, like myself, was quite fond of dressing up you little creatures in dresses. You are so small and cute, it only seems right to have matching costumes. I bet you would look quite adorable in bows, for instance."
>>579679
"Mmmm. So why the delay, honey? Is your man not steppin' up?"
>>579680
"That's how finances go. Though if you don't mind me saying so, I am going to be working on finances all day. You mind if we talk about something else?"

Mister Face is the diplomat of the fleet."
Frown.
"He sees a lot of mares and stallions in that position, if you get my drift. Up till now, I wasn't really sure if that was a good…role model for the twins. And you know, when I went to tell him about it, he first thought I was there to quit the relationship and he just said it's all good, no hard feelings,…I don't think he really cares about me. Or at least that's what I need to figure out before we can decide how we raise the twins."

>>579688

"I've been feeling for a while like my life was going to be over. But you're right, it shouldn't be. Light told me I was carving a future. Still…"
Put the alembics down.
"Face is the natural father…and he is quite the gentlepony. I was planning to organize a romantic dinner when we're in Anniev. Maybe he'll change his mind about me when he sees I'm willing to make it work?"
I chuckle.

"I'll have to be extra careful around them, then."
The pony on stage coughs loudly. "Oops. I need to get back to star searching. Come back some time, I'd love to see you try out."
>>579683
"I dunno. I need to get a lot of work done while we're there. It's a major trade port, which is the reason we're stopping in the first place. Commodore Abilio and myself may be busy the entire time."

>>579697
It's only been a couple days but he has been around your room lately. You probably don't have to talk to him since he came back.
>>579698
"Me too, sister."
>>579699
"Kind of you, but we can't ever lose sight of our mission. I'll take a break only after the work is done."

"Okay, I need to so some other stuff. Oh Aloe, there's one thing you should know about that Breezie potion. It's part of a little prank, so probably one of these days mister Tree, you know him right, will fly in here as a Breezie and ask for an antidote, when that happens we'll pretend like it's very hard and it might take a while, okay?"

"Not quite. There's a major trade contract here. The only ones we'll be escorting are ourselves."
>>579716
He shakes it. "That's right. I'm Burnside of Hmburgerburg, and you're here because you want the best. Well, you got it. I know what you're thinking: isn't 'best' a subjective phenomenon? Wrong. I've had the boys run the numbers countless times and the answer always comes up the same: best can be quantitatively measured, and we have the most of it."
>>579717

"The first thing you need to know about gunning is to keep your eye off the target. This may sound unintuitive, but I'm not just banging rocks together here. Here in Frankfurterfort, we now how to feel a parabolic arc. I want you to feel it too."

Wark comes into the room and retrieves Rosemary. They leave.

He instructs you on loading methods.
"Don't be afraid to miss the first few times. You need to miss so you can adjust for that."

They didn't bother head to that room. But when you arrive upstairs, you are not met with the sight of a donkey and a mare. Instead, two donkeys!
They glance over at you in surprise.
Wark observes: "Ya followed us."
Rosemary seems a little dazed from the transformation and thus isn't commenting.
"It's not like it was gonna be a secret. I jus' didn' wanna interrupt yer conversation or spook any crewmembers. Rosemary asked how she could make up fer her cruel words, so I told her, she could see what life is like from my perspective."

>>579774
If you like jennies, she is.
"That seems like an unfair question. I mean, feeling willpower isn't like touching a blanket. How could I possibly measure that, especially right away?"
That may be the most challenging answer you've ever had from her.

Show you the simple dress.

He has big guns, little guns, red guns, blue guns, one guns, two guns.
You probably oughta settle for something simple, since you need both those tags for ranged and dual.
>>579810
"Why don't you ask her?"
Cloudy gives you a wave over from the bed.
"Oh, right, nearly forgot."
He blasts you with magic, and then carries you over in filly form, depositing you in front of her.

I'm saying you could use a more complex two-tag gun but you probably want ranged and dual, since dual is your CM, and who ever heard of a non-ranged gun?
>>579815
Up ahead you see the defensive fortifications of a great fort. There's a banner that reads: Frankfurterfort.
"That's where my friend is from!"
>>579816
"If I wasn't going to be discreet, I would've dragged you here yesterday in front of the crew."
She's pretty giddy. "I'm pregnant!"
Abilio adds: "With magic, she'll be as big as Selena by the end of the week."

Wark comments. "Ye sure seem less in need of her validation."
"Yeah… maybe I do feel a little more self-confident."
>>579821
You spend enough time lurking in the shadows and eventually he comes to you.
"Looking for me?"
"That'll be one doubloon."
>>579819
"We are feeling pretty confident about it."
Cloudy hugs you close. "Partially because of you, you know. Thanks for putting up with all those experiments."

This place is surprisingly big and packed! It's like a tiny little town.
Flowing Tree is here bartering for a weapon.
>>579825
"Two guns. And we're not part of the crew. We're an independent exclave. Well, some of the ponies here are."
Maybe Manako could help you. She has arrived.
>>579824
Wark seems pleased enough.
Rosemary shrugs. She does add, though: "Listen, Wark… I know I already apologized, but I want to say it again for the record. It was really dumb of me to feel threatened by you. Obviously we have a complicated relationship, but what I said was unfair. I don't know why I felt so paranoid, I think I was just too wrapped up in my own ego."
She thinks a moment and then add sharply: "And I'm NOT saying this because my mind was changed or something by becoming a donkey. This is me talking, not a magic potion."
>>579826
"Princess Lavinia Ambercharge. She's the heir to the Empire of Trotantium, and the current Element of Magic. She's sweet on me."
>>579827
She giggles and sets you on the bed so she can blow raspberries on your stomach.
Stupid kid's games! Roll to resist burst into laughter.

(-2)
You give a childish laugh. Cloudy seems cheery, though.
Abilio: "There is something good about you waiting for today, though. Lunch. Unfortunately, it's clam, and I know you're not a meat eater."
Cloudy perks up. "I could make a grilled cheese!"
>>579833
Whew. He's gone.
>>579836
"Kay."
Back to the mansion you go!
>>579834
"We haven't gone there yet. I feel kinda bad to take advantage of her. She has all these… storybook outlooks. I dunno. She is nice, though."
>>579835
"Well, glad ta hear it genuine, anyway. Let's go back."

>>579838
There was a changing of shifts at the helm. Chip now has the helm. Wonder where he went?
>>579839
"Good!"
Abilio sets out the clams for them, while Cloudy starts to fix grilled cheese and peeling an apple. Her tail wags cheerily like her swaying backside. If you still don't think of her as a mother, it's probably a turnon for one with your proclivities!
She babbles as she works. "I'm so excited for the baby. You'll have to go easy on me once I'm all fat and pregnant. I hear the hormones are awful!"
Abilio floats over a coloring book for you while they go to work. You're not sure if he's serious.
>>579841
"Iunno. Like I said, she kinda sounds like she thinks it's fated, and I don't believe in fate or love at first sight or anything like that. We'll see where it goes."
>>579840
"Yeah, he's over there practicing. And that mare over there is the tailor."
>>579842
She still has her cute butt, no worries. The most notable differences are her new brown coat and her long ears. Right now they're kind of twitching cutely as her tail sways about.

Okay
>>579845
"I wouldn' wanna impose on Selena. An' quite satisfied as a jack, thanks."
>>579846
He gives an innocent shrug.
Cloudy: "Oh, he's not getting off… I think the pregnancy is already making me friskier~"
Abilio gives you an amused look. "Cloudy wants to know if you were serious about nursing."
"I've heard it's good for bonding! Although I'm not milking yet…"
>>579847
"To which one? I haven't met the tailor."
>>579848
"I thought you already knew about lockpicking."

Apparently he's gone down to the kitchn to receive his lunch.
>>579851
"Oh please. I'm not concerned about you nursing. I just assumed you were kidding."
>>579852
"I dunnae think so. I know ya like all sorts of odd sorts. Next yer gonna start askin' me ta fiddle with yer altar."
>>579853
"Eh… Magic locks. I dunno. It feels like hot water to get into. I mean, I have some ideas, but it seems like it'll only lead to trouble. You would not have a happy commodore if you got caught."

>>579862
Damn, the view is obscured! Well.. you know you could just answer 'yes' if you want to get to stare at them all you want.
"Eat!"
They're already digging into their clams.
>>579861
"I'd be as ruggedly handsome as e'er and have a family cutie mark."
Rosemary giggles.
>>579863
About about your good friend Tela? She seems like a good fighter pone to spar with.
>>579864
There are a bunch of mares about! There are around 20 Hamburgerburgians, and around half are female.
"Hm… I could, but I also have a friend who might be able to do it better. Have you met Vasilisa?"

>>579866
"Yeh!"
Rosemary remarks amusedly: "You should incentivize him."
>>579867
"That's okay, little tiny pony. Look for one of the diamond dogs with a blonde coat. Vasilisa will help you."
>>579868
"Alright… I think the magic mechanism works with some sort of magnetism or something. Just disrupting it won't help, but a magic magnet might."
>>579870
It's good! Yeah yeah yeah. It's not bad, no no no.
They're digging into their fancy food while you munch on your grilled cheese. It's much bigger at this size… I guess that's a perk. You also feel fuller faster.

"Well, I'm not making milk yet, and we found out last time that alcohol is bad at that size… What about apple juice?"
>>579873
"The three of us haven't had fun together since the argument~"
Wark chimes in: "If you want me ta be a stallion, ya should have ta be a jenny again. Ya can keep Rosemary company."
>>579875
Crew information leads you to hearing that she has an appointment with the commodore and his wife, and he doesn't want to be disturbed. Must be officer stuff.
>>579876
She's a little short for a diamond dog, but much taller than a Shiban. In any case, she's back on deck outside the mansion.

Cloudy looks to Abilio. He shrugs and pours some booze into a bottle for you.
"Drink it slowly. That's all you're getting."
Meanwhile Cloudy pulls out hoofy pajamas for you. "Look what I had made! They're supposed to be for the baby, but I had them sized up so I could see how they'd look on you."
>>579879
Wark seems bemused. "No skin off ma back. Maybe Rosemary will model those traditional dresses."
She laughs amusedly. You return to your room: Who is gone.
>>579881
"Oh, my. Aren't you a small one? Come here you tiny little Breezie. I've only seen your kind a few times in the woods."

>>579894
You start to loosen up with the laughs and even the children's games, until everything goes fuzzy and you black out… Strong stuff…
>>579895
"She's a kindly one."
"Yeah. Really great."
>>579893
Half Diamond Dog, half Shiban Dog, you'd guess.
"I am the gilder Vasilisa, I work with gold and make fine clothes. Positively enchanted."
