The dock alone is busy. Ponies are everywhere. Ships left and right. Most of the menials move into the city immediately and head off for the red light district, but the city is quite large and much to offer. Smitts has already departed, and Abilio is not in his cabin.
There are quite a few ships arriving this morning. It's a good thing you were able to secure a dock to land at all. As you head out toward the city from the port, a pony runs up to you, looking half-mad, "Turn back! You've got to get out now!"
It is nine o'clock in the morning. Everyone is at the docks, except Friesian Cross, who is enjoying a free morning bagel before heading off to the apothecary.

You spot a beggar who has a fair amount of coins on him who would be easy to steal from. There's also a nearby mare with a big purse, and a rich looking pony in a carriage being drawn by two heavily armed guards that are cutting down anyone in their path.
Are we foraging?

She sighs and shrugs. "Business has been slow, lately. Though I've heard there are an abnormal number of ships at the docks… maybe new blood will come in."

You wander into the administrative district and overhear a speech from a pegasus.
"I love freedom, Reptil. Love it. That's why I've fought for YOUR freedoms, every day of my term. And I will CONTINUE TO FIGHT, with your help. FREEDOM NEEDS A HERO, AND THAT HERO IS CLOUD KING! Vote Cloud King for Seat 3."

You slide yourself into his embrace, and finally, you feel peaceful. In your life, you have become the kind of pony that is always keeping an eye out. Just in case. There's the fear. Distrust of the world. You can never shut it out. Except now. Strong hooves surround and engulf you, pulling you into a pacific bay, and your stress melts as you do in his cool embrace. You are home, and you are loved.

Finally you wander through the entertainment district and spot the trio up on a stage. Rosemary and Skylight have vacant looks in their eyes as they are loaded into boxes that leave only their heads revealed.
Wark is… well… it's hard to say if he's imprisoned because it's changing every few seconds. First, magic ropes appear around his legs, and he snaps them, then a magic bubble around them, which he pops, then a cage, which he bends open, then a safe, which he dials the combination for from the inside. Finally, he climbs out of the mouth of a lion and bucks it in the face before being hit by another blast of light and collapses through the stage, so that only his head is visible.

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you.
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you.
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with.
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you.
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go

The unicorn speaks up. "You are in a time loop, Shepherd. Or more specifically, all of Reptil is. You've been looping for more than five hundred twenty thousand cycles, each twelve hours long."
Illusive Guy: "To stop it, you'll need to go on a suicide mission through the Psi Three Relay. It has a harmonic frequency code, but once you're in, you'll be out of the loop, like I am."

Cloud King immediately spins around. "HEY! ARE YOU SOME KIND OF ENEMY OF FREEDOM? WHY DO YOU HATE DEMOCRACY? VOTE CLOUD KING FOR SEAT THREE!"

Before you is a metal indentation that appears to be a sort of door, but unlike one you've ever seen before. There's a crevice running from the top to bottom along the middle, and there appears to be no handle or other means of opening it. There's a small notice on the wall near the door that is too small to read at this distance.

He indicates a frigate and a sort of odd… floating pile of cannons with sails on it. Which is the size of perhaps two ships of the line. Enormous. Al-Jinn calls it a "war junk".
The remaining two ships are the one you're on, a ship of the line made out of dark woods and plated with lead, looking dark as night even at day, and an old but well-traveled galleon, which he identifies as the Pillager's Fancy.

That said, the door slides open easily with it removed.

We all know horses like to buck when they're nervous. You just bucked out that window, elevating an emergency to a crisis as the room begins to decompress and warp. Everyone save.

You're both pulled out the window (about five feet wide by seven feet tall). You feel the warp overtaking you… it is a good pain.
You black out.

You leap in front of the window and focus all of your magic on bending the minerals inside the metal to seal it shut. Finally you meld the metal around you, so that your form has sealed the room, saving everyone else, but at great cost to yourself. You can feel the pressure and the strange magic of the outside beginning to overtake you.

"Don't give me that crap. I know what you're going to say. You probably have more money now than everything you had together before she died. So tell me, if you had the choice right now to bring her back. Would you have the heart to say yes? Would you? Because from the sound of it, I think you wouldn't."

My eyes widen.
"You too? I thought I was the only one who is not able to get to have a chat with her. She has been very helpful in missions specially in Stonebriar but I have not the slightest idea what her game is."
Just hug her in place.
"Well there is this one incident where she resurrected this guy and it attacked us. She ran away scared from her creation that almost killed us. Good thing I am a strong dog."

"I believe she must have been abused badly in her past, which would explain her dislike of bodily contact as well as social gatherings. She is very secluded and drawn back, which may indicate some form of trauma. She does not want to get approached, hence her hostility and looks. She uses it to ensure nopony approaches her."

I scratch my head.
"You think so? I havent thought of that. I just thought she was one of those obtuse cultist who worship weird Gods."
I then stop for a moment to think.
"Your theory is not far fetched come to think of it, but I will stick with my guns and think that she is some sort of cultist,"
I scratch my head.

"Tell you what…"
Take a short pause and breathe in to calm down.
"When I say I don't want to fucking talk about my past we don't speak about it, I will be happy, when I am happy you can more easily influence, we will both be happy, you will give me a hug, and I will try to do the right thing. For you."

I laughed a little at this.
"Well she could be for all we know, by the sea's I shouldn't find that funny."
I then wrap one of my arms around her.
"I was thinking you are already friends with her since you are a very friendly pony. But no matter, that satisfy me to know your theories about her a bit."
Carry her lithe form and place LH in my lap.
"Now we can jump to Emrille?" I smiled.

I tilt my head and do nothing to stop her from hoping off.
"Emrille is…. a very brash, straight-forward pony. Rough here and there, and a bit… weeeiiird if you tell me."
"Well weird, I mean she has taken a liking to make herself as a filly. Dont tell me you dont find that weird."

My face gives of a smile before laughing.
"Really?! I didnt think turning oneself into a filly could make one into an officer. And here I thought she was doing it on purpose to make…. "
I then turn serious for a moment.
"Hmmmm…. Perhaps I should also ask a promotion in the future based on my service, well if I qualified for such that is."

I pet one of my pistols and smile
"And as much as I would love to satisfy your needs, I am a very busy mare already, mister Chip. I simply cannot keep giving free rewards to everypony or the others will start demanding more as well, which would be most unfortuitous."

I shiver.
"I know! I know!! I just cant think straight. Its one of these days that instead of you able to think logically and calculating, but instead your mind goes for sex or touch her in bad places or 'do her, do her!'"
"I just cant control myself, instead of me controlling myself it is my lust that is taking the reigns unless I am able to satisfy its need for the day."
I then give Light Heart an anxious look.
"Funny, it is happening right now. Instead of refusing your offer, I am now sitting here, listening and considering your offer on giving up 30% of my bits every pay-day to you so that I can just make you my little pony. If I can think straight now, perhaps I would utter 'that is crazy Lightheart, I wont give you my money."."

"Because you look like you could use one. Even if you don't like me, and I'm fairly certain anyone other than Summer, Skylight or Mera doesn't, that doesn't mean I can't still try to be friendly with you."
>>411488
"To be perfectly fair, Emrille, you were certainly capable of getting down on your own. However, you refused to do so. This bothered miss Spring, and I solved the issue."

I'll consider seriously for a moment.
"Well, you already look half the part. You really do need to eat more, by the way."
I'll tap my chin a moment.
"And, though it's not quite in line with the tenants of my church to approve of it, I'd say you could be a fairly effective lich, given the right amount of time and knowledge."
Then shrug.
"But, liches, from what I've heard, have little need for friends, living or otherwise. The dead are just their escape from Death."

"Nesting on her back and placing you on the floor are far and apart two different things, Emrille."

"Accepted of course."
I then stare at her form, her eyes and her flank.
"But this, this!!… Your looks, your form, the way you handle yourself, that perfect rear that even the pony goddess of love would adore if she is here right now." I bite my lips.
"I cant forgive myself if I just let myself go now and not able to hug and tease that." I whimper in excitement,

"I hardly doubt it has all the perks. The warmth, for one. I know you don't much care for it, considering… but, without that, without companionship, what's the point of living? Your studies can only go so far before you learn all you can. And you wouldn't be able to go into any major town or city and expect to just walk in the gate to peruse their libraries."
I'll shrug again.
"I just don't understand the allure, Felfire."

"Then what I just did tangentially related to both, since keeping miss Spring happy allows you to survive, and make money."
