Sounds like a good fit for the mob. Strength and weakness?

[Gloomfury 243]

Melee and Driving.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

He have an official role in the family, or is he an outsider?

[Gloomfury 243]

He's in the family but he doesn't have a title. He just come and helps out when he can.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

Well, he's all set up. You can bring him in whenever you want.

[Gloomfury 243]

Sweet.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that the in-game day is coming to an end. The sun is going down and shops are closing.

 

Worry not, there is no time skip being planned, beyond the 8 hours it would take most ponies to sleep.

@@Mand'alor Dash, 

Can you tell me which pony was still alive in the limo or should I stick to nonspecific adjectives? if not can I at least get some hints like gender, race, and maybe color?

@@HunterTSN, He wasn't inside the Limo, it was one of the Made Men who was mowed down by the Griffon. He's lying beside the car. Male Earth Pony, grey coat.

@@HunterTSN,

 

Invented a simple mechanic for trying to save the mobster.

 

A light push compresses for 10-30 points.

 

A normal push compresses for 40-60 points.

 

And a heavy push compresses for 70-110 points.

 

The goal is to get the compression score between 90 and 100 within three pushes, and without going over. Done correctly, you will save his life. Fail, and he dies.

 

Roll one push per post, and I'll run each one through an RNG.

Is this necessary? I've got something else planned that could add another dimension to the scene.

Alrighty, then. Wanted to add a bit of tension, but I guess there's plenty of time for that.

 

Proceed.

Heads up; my laptop just came to its timely end so my posts might be a lot rarer and more sporadic until I get a reliable setup.

@@HunterTSN, She's behind maybe about 20 minutes.

Quick warning: After @@Gloomfury posts to respond to what's going on, I'm officially ending the day and skipping to when Zephyr wakes up on the train.

[Gloomfury 243]

Okay.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

Is the conductor asking for Zeph and Gloom's tickets specifically or were they speaking to somebody else within hearing range?

He was speaking to the train in general. They're making a sweep to check for stowaways.

@@Mand'alor Dash,

I have an objection to make; Zephyr didn't receive much schooling and would probably have a hard time breaking down sentences or even solving simple equations, but she's not so inhibited that she can't tell left from right or remember what happened less than a morning before. Plus she's a mailmare so she already has a good sense of direction.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

@@HunterTSN,

 

I provided an easy hint. One can easily tell direction with the sun's position in the sky.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

To answer the inevitable questions my latest post brings up:

 

Yes, that is Apple Bloom.

Yes, this is still firmly an alternate universe.

No, canon characters are still not open for players.

Yes, there may be other canon characters elsewhere in the world, but

No, they will not be common.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

The scene in Sweet Apple Acres has run its course. If there are no objections, I move we pick up Zephyr's story after she's in Ponyville returning the vacuum cleaner.

I kind of wanted to see her through an awkward dinner scene, also she hasn't been introduced to Granny Smith.

Fair enough. I'll set the scene.

I'll assume Zephyr has been bathed?

You assume correctly. It's not all gone, but her saddlebags can cover it up now.

@@HunterTSN, @@Gloomfury,

 

For all wondering, Zephyr's story is about 7 hours later than Gloom's, due to the extra time it took for her to reach Ponyville, and all the various Apple Family shenanigans..
