>Talk to Maregaze
“So, you and Lance huh? I didn't get the chance to check on him before they wheeled him off, is he doing better?”
>One of her hooves begin to make circles on the counter.
>”Oh, he’s alright… Still laid out in the hospital, very angry that he lost, you know…”
“Despite what it looked like out there, I did my best not to hurt anyone too badly.”
>”I know you didn’t, you seem like a good guy.”
>She sighs, and looks up right into your eyes, still circling the counter.
>”It’s just very bad timing, you know…”
“Why’s that?”
>”I’m going to be in heat soon… and nopony’s gonna be able to take care of me but myself…”
>Whoa, TMI.
>Wait a minute… Was she?...
>No, no way.
“Well, I uh..”
>You aren’t exactly sure what to do with that.
 
>Exit
“I think I’m just gonna, uh, go. H-hope you take care of that problem!”
>She gives you a lazy wave, looking a little irritated with you.
>You need to get out of there and fast.
>Turning around, you reunite with Redheart who was pretending to look at some of the erotic novels displayed.
>”Oh… Hi. Did…?”
[You give Redheart Ribbed Strap-on and Lube.]
>She looks around quickly and stows them into her bag.
>Then Red gives you a tight hug around your waist, before beginning to lead you out.
“Hey, what about the others?”
>”They can come out on their own time, okay?”
>She was still dragging you, so you look around for a way to communicate.
“HEY, UH, WE’RE LEAVING!”
>”ANON!”
>She goes behind you and pushes you out of the store, fuming at you as you wait for your party members.
>Who haven’t come yet.
>...
>It was about twenty more minutes before the three popped their heads out of the store, all with something in their bags.
>You raise your eyebrows and cross your arms at the sight, and they all make awkward smiles.
“Well, what did you guys get?”
>”Ain’t tellin’ you!”
>”N-nonny!”
>”I just got a vibrator for the road.”
>Everyone looks at Berry with different levels of shock.
>”What? We were all just in there! Oh, whatever, where are we going next, Anon?”
>She starts walking away without a real answer, so with a quick glance and shrug to the rest of them, you follow her to keep her in hearing range.
“I think now would be a good time to pick up our little friends. Since we’re closer to the tournament grounds, might as well go get Iron Will real quick, right?”
>You notice Berry’s speed quicken.
“Guess that’s a yes.”
>...
>You and your party make your way to the Diamond-Ridge Park once again, taking a few minutes to find the trailer that Iron had previously bragged about yesterday.
>By the time you get to his door, it was around 4:00 P.M.
>You rap on the door 3 times.
>You wait.
>You wait a little more.
>You wait even longer, and you knock again.
>”Wha..”
>You hear something from the inside.
“Iron Will, we’re here! You ready?”
>You hear something fall and break inside, and a large buffoonish yawn.
>”Uh, of course!... Just uh… Give me a few minutes…”
>You look back at the party, and back to the trailer.
>Should you wait, or ‘press forward’?
 
 
 
“Hey, no problem man, we've got a lot on our plates at the moment so we're gonna get moving towards the library, but we'll leave someone behind, if you could lend her a hand, that'd be cool.”
>You think for a moment as he’s getting himself out of bed.
“Berry…”
>”Huh?”
>She looks at you and stops short of taking a drink from her new gallon flask.
“Here, I need you to do something for me.”
>You walk over, rummaging through your empty bit bag.
[You give Berry 10 bits.]
“Take these, and when he comes out, take Iron Will with you when he gets out and go down to the local tavern. I’d like you to find any information you can about the thieves that might be running the trade around here, like that trio that jumped Pinkie and I. If you find them, don’t chase after ‘em because that’s for me and Pinkie. Also, see if you can’t find any whereabouts of where Rainbow Dash might be. I saw that she was missing on the directory, and I’m a little worried. But, you might as well have some fun while you’re there, so that’s what the 10’s for.”
>Berry jingles the coins in her hoof, giving you a very wide smirk.
>”Oh, I’ll have some fun with him, alright…”
“Fun at the bar, Berry.”
>”Wha?”
“At the bar, for drinks. Have fun there.”
>”Oh, right… Yeah…”
>You’re now thinking this wasn’t exactly the best idea, but it was the best you got.
“Just remember, when you’re done I expect you back at the Library so we can all meet back up.”
>”Got it, got it…”
“For now, let’s wait on him, I guess…”
>You prepare your potion-making kit to make some healing potions.
>With your ingredients, you can make up to three batches of 6 small potions each, 4 mediums, or 2 large.
>Small potions take half an hour to brew, medium take 45 minutes, and large takes an hour, with multiple batches not affecting time.
>Would you like to brew these healing potions?
 
 
 
>You put up your kit and stow it in your bag before the rest of your party saw.
>What the hell were you thinking deciding to do it right now?
>Regardless, you adjust your things and set off.
“Alright, Berry, do what I told you and the rest of us are going to head off to go get our bodyguard. N-Stop, we’re getting him and that’s final.”
>They’re all silent, for they knew you weren’t about to change your mind.
>Berry waves to the rest of you, and you and your party set off for Gable’s location, knowing they are going to try and convince you otherwise the entire trip.
>...
“No.”
>”But you’re making a huge mis-”
“No.”
>”Anon, really, ya oughtta at least listen to yer maref-”
“No.”
>”If ya cut me off again I’m-”
“Gonna buck my apples?”
>You hear a quickening of pace behind you and you turn around with your knee hiked up.
“Okay, okay, sorry! Just, look, it’ll be fine, alright?”
>”How is it gonna be fine? For all we know he’s just waitin’ to get us out in the blizzard, and slit your throat or somethin’!”
>Damn, that was a little dark for an element of horse or whatever.
”He’s really not going to do that, so quit it, guys! Damn…”
>You remember Gable telling you in private that he was going to be held at the guard station for you to pick him up, so that is where you have arrived.
>You walk into the doors and notice that your group is waiting outside for this one.
>Alright, probably for the best anyways.
>You see the counter and the various guards chatting or taking a break inside the station.
>A few with the higher-quality armor have holsters, probably already made by the Wither for when they get their F.U.C.K.E.R.S.
>You wonder how long it’d be before your invention spreads out across Equestria.
>That’s when you realize besides your friends and Charm Rose, you haven’t seen a normal non-crystal pony in days.
>You play with this thought as you walk up, and the guard smiles at you.
>”Well, didn’t expect to see the tournament winner here. What can I do for you, Dr. Anonymous?”
“I’m here to pick up a gryphon named Gable as a part of our deal.”
>He raises his eyebrows, and gets off his chair, going back to the open barrack door and shouting into it.
>”Get the gryphon out here, Stomper!”
>The guard apparently known as Stomper reveals himself after a minute or so, pushing along a taloncuffed Gable.
>He gives you a surly look as his cuffs are removed, and he slowly walks towards you.
>For some reason, your instincts begin to flare up, and you almost take a step back as he advances, but you stay yourself.
>He stops right in front of you and stares at you for the longest time.
>You hear the slight shings of spears being drawn from the guards around you, and you just freeze and wait for the inevitable…
>Gable holds out his claw.
>”Thanks again… Anonymous.”
>Well, that was unexpected.
>You very tentatively take his claw and shake with him, and you swallow your heart back down your throat as the pressure is relieved.
>The two of you walk side-by-side out of the doors.
“Were you trying to scare the entire squad back there?”
>”Did it work?”
>You are still sweating from the confrontation.
“I would say so, yes.”
>You reach the outside with the crystal empire returning its grace and majesty to yours and Gable’s eyes.
>AJ, Pinkie and Red are waiting for you nearby.
>Probably not for him, though, as they were already giving him death glares.
>”Well, aren’t I popular.”
“Hey, c’mon, just show them your good side and it’ll be fine.”
>You walk down to meet them, but they wouldn’t derive their stares away.
>It could be worse, right?
>What would you like to do?
 
 
 
“So uh, this is Gable, everyone. Gable, this is Applejack.”
>She barely moves, but after a moment makes a silent nod.
“...Er, that’s Pinkie Pie.”
>Pinkie was holding her air-filled cheeks as tightly as she could, probably to stop herself from saying something bad.
“And this is my, marefriend, Nurse Redheart.”
>”Hello.”
>At least she managed to say something.
>And that’s all that was said.
>Okay, this is getting a bit tense.
“Alright, there’s some feelings on both sides that don’t need to be there. I need to go back into the guard station and get a few things I forgot, alright? Let’s just all get along for now.”
>Gable and your group simply stare at each other without words.
>You’re pretty sure that they aren’t going to come to blows, so you slowly back away up the steps and back into the station.
>The same guard who was talking to you earlier looks up from his paperwork and gives you a concerned look.
>”Oh, what’s wrong? Is it the prisoner?”
“No! I mean, he’s fine. I just came in to ask you guys something. Is there any chance I could borrow three pairs of han-- hoofcuffs for, you know, personal use?”
>”Uh, sorry Doctor, we don’t hand out our equipment, that’d be against the law.”
“Oh, sorry I asked then.”
>”But, I could technically instate you as a temporary deputy and ‘auction’ our old cuffs to you starting at 0 bits?”
>Well, being famous seems to have its perks.
“Now that sounds like something I can get behind.”
>He opens a draw from his desk and pins a paper badge on your coat, then leads you into the back.
 
>Buy
 
[AUCTION]
-Hoofcuffs
 
>You have selected Hoofcuffs (3) (0 bits).
>Do you want to buy these items? Y/N
 
>Y
>Items bought!
[You receive 3 pairs of hoofcuffs.]
>Your bit pouch: 84 bits
 
>”Alright, there you go Doctor, hope you enjoyed the auction! You’re fired.”
“Shit.”
>He takes off your badge, but you both laugh it off.
“Uhm, I actually did have some legitimate questions, however. Has there been any word on a trio of thieves that might’ve gotten turned in recently?
>The desk guard leafs through his records for a while until he runs out of papers.
>”Uh, I’m sorry, but there’s no record of them anywhere. Have you checked the hospital, by chance?”
“I have, there were no records saying they admitted anyone with their descriptions.”
>”Well, if you check our bulletin board, there could be a bounty, but otherwise I couldn’t tell you.”
“Alright. Also, have there been any leads whatsoever for the missing Rainbow Dash?”
“No, we haven’t even gotten any sightings. If you do see her, come right back here, okay?”
“Got it, thank you.”
>”Come back anytime!”
>Before you leave, you take a quick glance at the bulletin board.
 
[CRYSTAL EMPIRE GUARD DEPARTMENT NOTICES]
>Notices<
-Has anyone seen a green-stained badge with a bunch of scorch marks on it? -Deputy Groggy
-If there’s anyone who thinks stealing lunches from the icebox is funny, then you’re sadly mistaken. If I find out who, you’re out on your flanks! -Sheriff Fjord
-IMPORTANT: Officer Tidal Wave has not reported to the station from the Tundra outpost in the last x2x x3x 4 days, if you see him contact the sheriff immediately, and bring him back to the station with his Royal Pass intact. (We care for Wave, but only one officer gets a royal pass, they’re very rare.)
 
>There was nothing here that caught your interest about Rainbow Dash, but that last notice definitely got some attention.
>Your thoughts are telling you that a royal pass would most likely get you into the palace, and would probably be your best bet.
>Seeing nothing else, you walk back out to the group.
>Now they weren’t even looking at each other, just casually waiting until you came back.
“Well, got what I needed… To the library?”
>The ponies gather their things and nod, with Redheart walking with you as you set off.
>”Sure, Anon. Just remember, if there’s anything -else- that you needed to do here at the station, now is the time.”
“For the last time, he’s okay!”
>She just sighs and stays silent during the trip.
>You are going to have to find a way to break this tension, somehow.
>Is there anything you’d like to do on the way to the Crystal Library?
 
 
 
>Something to break the tension was a hard thing to think about.
>You think about telling them about your world, but your memories were still far too fuzzy for any details.
>For example, you remember that humans have landed on the moon, but you don’t remember why, how, when or any names, not even what country.
>What country were you from?
>Just thinking about your past like makes your head ache like crazy, so you decide not to think about it.
>Instead, you just try and do what you do best, and that’s buddy up.
>You slow your pace from the front of the group to walk next to Gable,
“So, how are you doing being free again?”
>”The same as always, roaming the streets, anticipating a violent future.”
>That was morbid as hell, especially for such a light world as this.
“Well, uh, just so you know, if you ever want to talk about anything-”
>”I am not a woman, I do not ‘talk’, I fight. If you want to really know how I’m doing, let me throw a couple rounds at you.”
“Fine, fine, I get the hint.”
>”Just know your place, Anonymous, I am here to guard you, not to be your friend.”
>Well, shit.
>Gable’s steelier than AJ when you first met.
>You decide to abandon this course of action before he acts on his word, and keep to yourself.
>The only thing you could think of to do in the silence was practice your magic.
>After reading that horribly difficult book, you should be able to get some sort of progress now.
>...
[You have gained slight experience with your magical abilities, and managed to do quite a bit with your previous abilities and got a good workout.]

[+2 MP]
Anon: [HP: 130/130][MP: 20/20]
>...
>Your magical display led to a conversation between the ponies involving some story about Twilight showing up a powerful-but-arrogant blue showmare back in the day.
>Trickster or something.
>You weren’t really paying attention because you were making epic balls of magic.
>Your balls are very important.
>In any case, the talk of Twilight made the destination come much sooner than usual, and before you know it you and your group were already walking up the stairs to the library.
>Why did every civil service building here have to have stairs?
>This thought is interrupted when you realize you were already at the door.
>Being at the front, you open it for the rest of the group and enter in last.
>As soon as you walk in, Applejack and Pinkie Pie rush right by you in a orange and pink blur.
>”TWILEY!”
>”SUGARCUBE!”
>You finally get your bearings and see the two hugging on a breathless Twilight Sparkle.
>”Guys! Guys, it’s okay, I’m fine! Hey, what’s with the armor? ...Big hammer.”
>AJ heaves the hammer around her shoulder, giving a toothy grin.
>”Yeah, Anon got this stuff for us with his prize money, he’s a real good kid when he wants to be.”
>Twilight gives you a quick smile, but her countenance was more curious than anything.
>”Are you guys going to be needing it?”
>They look at each other for a moment, Pinkie stepping in.
>”Well, We don’t really know but lookit it’s so cool, it fits me so well and it’s so warm! Oh, but it’s totally cool, we won’t get hurt ever ever again!”
>Twilight’s ears fall slightly.
>”Again?”
>Well, shit, you didn’t think that was going to come up that quickly.
>AJ and Pinkie quickly change the subject, though.
>”Anon got some really weird tattooes that give him magic.”
>”Big, strong super metally tattooes!”
>Twilight blinks for a moment, and looks at you.
>You begrudgingly undo one of your talons and show her your bare palm.
>She gasps at the sight and runs straight to you, her purple hooves prodding at it.
>”This is amazing! You have to tell me everything, Anon, because this is my element of harmony on your palm!”
>Wait, what?
“Wait, what?”
>You take a closer look at the inscription of your palm, and lo and behold, it was a 6-arm star, very similar to Twilight’s cutie mark.
>Now that you think about it, the ones on your chest resembles apples and balloons like AJ and Pinkie, too.
>It was a very long explanation, though.
>Should you do what you’ve come here to do and tell her later, or give her the full explanation and ride out the rest of the day with her questions?
