>Ooo, there's fish fillet.
>Haven't had any fish in months...
>Maybe some pasta?
>Spaghetti... hmm......
"Hey, wanna share some pasta?"
>"Hm? Sure, I'll get something light then."
>After much deliberation, you've decided upon your food for tonight.
>Calling a waiter, you quickly give him your orders.

>Ivory stares at the candle flame, as you two wait for your food.
>He's been doing that for a while...
>Wonder what's on his mind?
"Hey, did you noticed an unicorn stallion staring at us when we left the spa?"
>Slight confusion shows on his expression.
>"No? What did he looked like?"
"Grey coat, unkempt, messy silver mane, was wearing a cloak."
>"Doesn't ring any bells... Maybe he was just observing wandering ponies?"
>Your soups arrives first, along with a glass of water.
>The scent of onions, herbs and spices fills your nostrils.
>Drinking some of his red-ish soup, he adds.
>"Don't you do that all the time too?"
"Hey! At least I'm discreet, and I don't do that from some shady alley."
>Using your wings to hold the spoon, you start drinking the soup.
>You give a glance at the ponies eating at the tables outside, below where you are.
>As expected, nothing of interest is going on.
>Some colt is whining to his mom, a mare is arguing with a stallion, or so it seems...
>A bunch of colts gallops though the streets, carrying a box of fireworks.
>Wonder how noisy it'll get by nighttime.

>A plate of grilled fish is placed in front of you, while a plate of Caesar salad is given to Ivory.
>Ivory stares at your food.
>"Huh? Did they gave us different menus? I didn't see any fish on the menu."
"I guess? Wanna try some?"
>"Eww, no thanks."
>Fork floating beside him. he starts munching on some lettuce.
>Meh, his loss.

>>30276683

>Huzzah! The pasta's here!
>You clop your hooves together.
"So, we gotta keep up appearances."
>Smirking at him, you continue.
"We gotta eat it together! Without silverwares! And kiss when we reach the ends of the noodles!"
>He stares at you, the blank look from earlier returns.
>He speaks in an emotionless tone.
>"What appearances? There's nopony around."
"Um, you never know if they might be watching?"
>"Why would busy waiters start spying on their customers?"
>He breathes deeply, before sighing.
>"Buck it. Fine, we'll eat it together. Happy?"
>You can't help smiling at him.
"Very."
>"No kissing though. This ain't one of those cheesy romance flick."
"Aww, alright..."

>Wanna order some wine for this? Should you kiss him anyway? J-just to tease him, n-not for any other reason...

2/2

>>30276688
Some wine sounds good. Bump our muzzles together with the spaghetti and look directly to his eyes. They look so lovely, and that isn't meant to be teasing whatsoever.

>>30276688
Alright don't kiss him but he didn't say anything about cuddling.

>>30276822
There's our loophole.
>>30276688
You're right, this is more a romantic comedy.

>>30276688
A glass of wine never hurt anybody. And let's not go for any kissing as per his request.

>>30276761
>>30276822
>>30276918
>>30276990

>Aha! He didn't say anything about cuddling!
>There's your loophole!
"You know.... You're right, this is more of a romantic comedy."
>"I fail to see how this situation is comedic in any way, shape or form."
>You move your seat next to him, and start leaning on him.
>"Is this seriously happening? Can you not?"
>Grinning at his face of disbelief, you speak.
"You said no kissing, but you never said anything about cuddling!"
>You drape your wings over him.
>"Ugh... you win this one."
>You call a waiter over to you.
"Excuse me! Could we get some of your finest wine?"
>"Sure miss. Red or white?"
"I guess... red?"
>"Alright. Just give me a few minutes."
>He trots away.
>You turn back to Ivory only to notice him giving you a deadpan look.
>Again.
>"Why?"
"Gotta set the atmosphere! There's always wine involved in these scenes."
>Though they never drink the wine in the movies. It just sits there, neglected, almost every time.
>Both of his hooves smack his face.
>Muffled groans of agony comes from him.

>The waiter from before comes back with a bottle of wine, a corkscrew and two wine glasses floating beside him.
>He sets them on the table, uncorks the bottle with a pop, and pours you two a glass.
"Thank you!"
>He bows and trots away.
>How polite...
>Guess that's to be expected in Canterlot.
>Pushing the plate of spaghetti to you two, you start.
"Let's eat!"
>Groaning slightly, Ivory asks.
>"How is this even supposed to work!?"
"Just follow the way earth ponies eat."
>He breaths deeply to calm himself.
>"Right... let's do this."

1/2

>>30277437

>Craning your neck down, the two of you start eating the spaghetti.
>Your muzzles brushes against each other.
>He must be blushing, you could feel the heat from his face.
>You stop eating and drink a bit of the wine.
>Huh, this is a bit stronger than you expected.
>It's not like those watered down wine you find everywhere around Manehattan.

>Moving his neck back up, he quickly wipes his mouth with a napkin and starts chugging down his glass of wine.
>Wow, you never seen him drink alcohol like this.
>Without any warning, he goes back to eating the pasta.
>He said no kissing, but bumping your muzzles doesn't count as a kiss, right?
>Hmm... let's see if you could do this.
>You try to replicate the classic scene of ponies eating noodles and kis-bumping muzzles accidentally.
>You slurp up the spaghetti next to him.
>It almost happens but he immediately bites and cuts the noodle.
>Time for plan B.

>He sits up straight again, and starts pouring himself a new glass of wine.
>You move to his face, and lick his muzzle.
>He freezes, and slowly turns to you.
>His eyes are so lovely...
>"R-right, you can stop trying to tease me now..."
>Buck! Did you say that out loud!?
>He turns away, face completely red.
>The wine bottle is still frozen in a pouring motion.
>His glass is overflowing with wine...
"Uh, you should set the bottle down."
>"What?"
>He turns back and see the wine bottle floating over the table.
>"Oh buck..."
>He places the bottle down upright.
>The tablecloth is soaked in red liquid.
>It's going to start dripping on you two.

>How should you deal with this situation?

2/2

>>30277456
Throw a towel from our inventory over the puddle.

>>30277456
>"R-right, you can stop trying to tease me now..."
Did we say that, or was that Ivory?

Let's avoid the wine from dripping on us, and do our best to clean that mess up. Apologize profusely once the waiter finds out. No romantic comedy shenanigans.

>>30277508
Ivory. You said, straight to his face, that his eyes are lovely.

>Invite your best friend to have a good time and maybe do something fun
>Already she wants to bang you as if she was in heat

>>30277456
>It's not like those watered down wine you find everywhere around Manehattan.
What does Manehattan have to deal with prohibition or something? There's an extra tax on wines and people try to lengthen their supply or smuggling them?

>>30277456
Ask Ivory if he can lift the table stuff as you flip the cloth over.

>>30277719
There's gotta be a story in this.

>>30277539
Oh gosh guys, we're getting drunk.

>>30277456
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cwlwBe4NRpw
Is spontaneous singing magic canon?
I know you said you weren't surprised about the ship, but what about the rate this ship is going? Too fast too soon?
Maybe you could rerail this romance scene into....something. Or keep it as is.

>>30277489
I do think I recall mention of a towel but I cannot be bothered to go looking. So yeah. Use a towel if we have one.

>>30277761
Or perphaps use another song to make it clear that without his friendship, we're not happy

>Standing up, you quickly pull a towel from your bag as you bark orders at Ivory.
"Quick! Lift everything on the table with your magic!"
>You throw the white towel over the table as the food and drinks gets levitated upwards.
>The towel slowly soaks up the puddle of wine.
>Moving the towel aside, you quickly flip the tablecloth over to the other end.
>Ivory starts using the towel you put aside to clean the bottom of the glasses and plates.
>He places everything down, back on the wooden table.
"Well then, we're in trouble."
>"Sorry..."
"No, that was my fault."
>There's still a third of the bottle's wine left.
>Sitting back down, next to him, you drink more wine from your glass.
>"How do we explain this to the staff?"
"We knocked over the wine bottle by accident?"
>"That works."

>Leaning on him, you two drink what little wine is left.
>Diluted wine back home...
>You actually wrote an article about that a few years ago.
>Strangely enough, there's no brewery, winery, etc etc that can be found anywhere in Manehattan.
>All wine is imported into Manehattan.
>Being a city that's basically an island, far from other cities, it's not surprising that importing wine there is a bit expensive.
>But ponies living in Manehattan are still willing to pay a little extra for it.
>A pony, Timely Income, decided that by diluting wines, he'll be able to earn much more, since he practically doubles his supply and sells them at 70% of the original price.
>Being one of the few places one that sells alcohol to restaurants and whatnot, this quickly affected the overall quality of wine sold around the area.
>Eventually, the situation escalates. Other shops caught on, and started doing the same thing.
>Within a year, Almost all of Manehattan's restaurants sells watered down wine.
>You want actual good wine? You'll have to buy one from those shops. And they usually don't have much in stock too.

>The scent of wine is everywhere.
>Eventually, the waiter from before shows up.
>Looking to the table, he asks.
>"What happened?"
>Ivory replies in an apologetic tone.
>"We... kinda knocked it over by accident."
>The waiter smirks a bit.
>"Oh? Did things got a bit too frisky?"
>"What!? W-we didn't..."
>The waiter clears his throat.
>"Well, you two needn't worry, please, enjoy the rest of your wine."
>He levitates the soaked tablecloth and empty dishes away.
>Only the wine and lit candles are left on the table.
>You pull him closer in with your wings, and slowly caress his back with them.
>He doesn't resist.
>Sighing, he speaks to you.
>"So, did you had fun? I imagine this whole situation must be quite hilarious to you."
>He's so fluffy...
>You could hear fireworks going off in the distance.
>Must be getting late.

>Your towel is soaked in wine now.
>You can't exactly just shove it back into your bag. Well, you can, but that's just a bad idea.
>Maybe you can clean it in a bathroom or something?
>Or maybe you can ask the waiter to clean it for you? Is that asking too much?
>You'll have to dry it somehow too...
>Well, you can always just hold on to it if needed.

>Drink the rest of the wine here? Bring it along and drink on the way? Wanna buy another bottle?

2/2

Oh yeah, pausing.

>>30278666
Drink the rest of it here. Ask ivory if he might happen to know a spell that would help with the towel.

>>30278666
I din't think dining out intimately like this to be that funny, but I did have a lot fun doing this with you. I wouldn't mind if this happened a lot more.

Drink some more good wine along the way, with some more fluffy contact. Carry the towel unless there's an easy spell to clean it.

>>30278666
Can we ask them for a plastic bag for the towel?

>You could hear fireworks going off in the distance.
>Must be getting late.
As man. We were supposed to be at the Ferris wheel while those went off.

>>30280308
I hope you're not suggesting we get another bottle. Anymore and they'll both regret it in the morning.

>>30281500
Nah, I was talking about the same wine bottle.

>>30281553
Oh. Cool then. Maybe we should keep the bottle as a souvenir of our trip. Maybe do something decorative or heat it up and compress it to make a flat thing.

>>30278666
Should we skip the ferris wheel? Seems we missed being there when the fireworks started, and now find ourselves buzzed. Maybe cuddle up to him while we watch the fireworks?

>>30282433
>>30278666
Let's watch the fireworks then go to the Ferris wheel. We gotta go there no matter what dammit!

>>30282433
Nah

>>30282565
I'm sure the Ferris wheel is gonna be there tomorrow.

Getting to the heart of the matter though, I think we should maybe tone it down a bit. Not only are we coming on *quite* strong but you know what they say, never know what you have till it's gone.

"I didn't think dining out intimately like this to be that funny, but I did have a lot fun doing this with you."
>"Heh, can't deny that this was fun... despite everything."
>A particularly loud bang catches both of your attentions.
>Seems like those colts from earlier is setting off fireworks at a nearby hill.
>The skies are filled with colourful sparks.
>He snuggles closer into your side.
"I wouldn't mind if this happened a lot more."
>He looks up at you, before questioning.
>"Are... are you already tipsy? You only drank, what? Two and a half glass?"
>You feel fine?
"No I'm not. I can hold my liquor."
>"Right..."
>He starts muttering to himself.
>"Forgot you're a total lightweight..."
>Snorting a bit, he grumbles to himself.
>"I suppose, I don't mind this happening more often either..."
>You two slowly finish the rest of the wine as fireworks whirl up into the sky, before exploding into a shower of glitter.
>Hehe, there's fireworks that explode into the princesses' cutie marks.
>Makes you wonder how expensive they are, compared to other fireworks.

"Hey, you know a spell that could help with the towel?"
>Using a wing to pick it up, you hold it in front of him.
>Least it's not soaked to the point that it's dripping wine.
"Can't really put this back in the bag now."
>"No, unless you want me to try setting it on fire."
"Yeah...... that might be overkill."
>"Think you should just get a bag from the waiter."
>Hmm, that's a sound plan.
>You call the waiter over.
"Could I get a bag? For this?"
>You hold out the towel to him.
>"Sure miss."
>Ivory speaks up.
>"You can also bring us the bill now."
>The stallion nods and trots away.

>Bag strapped, your things neatly packed.
>The two of you trot through the streets, your wings still draped over him, heading towards the still slowly spinning wheel.
>Hmm, there's less ponies than you expected roaming the streets.

>After copious amount of trotting, you two finally reach your destination.
>......
>There's no line at all.
>In fact, you don't see anyone around the area.
>Staring up at the wheel, Ivory starts speaking.
>"Did they forgot to shut it down?"
>Glancing around the area, he adds.
>"This is kinda eerie... Feels like someone's watching us..."
>Hmm? You don't detect anyone around.
"You scared?"
>"N-no."
>Heh, he's totally spooked.

>The wheel is still moving... Should you get on anyway?
>You could probably mess with the machinery to stop it... It's not like pressing anything will cause it to explode, right?
>Then you could just fly him to the top...
>Maybe the operator just went to the bathroom?
>Should... you wait for somepony to come back?

>>30286635
Wait a little for somepony to come back.

Forgot to include this in the previous post:
This is just an update before bed, not an actual session. In case any of you didn't know by now.
I'm a dummy that completely forgot to post the update a few hours ago, sorry.

>>30286654
Fuck that, shut this shit down, it's probably like a button or something right?

>>30286635
Screw it, we already caused enough chaos today. What's one more act gonna really do? If we can't find a way to turn it on, just fly up.

"W-well, doesn't that mean you're also small?"
>"So? Being smaller than others is nice."
>How is being small nice?
>There's no upside other than...
>......
>Wait... did he mean...
"You perv! I didn't know you had it in you."
>"What? How does that make me perverted!?"
"It's nice because it's easier for you to check out other ponies' privates! Right?"
>He gives an exasperated sigh.
>"How did you even come to this conclusion?"
>He adopts a thinking stance and continues.
>"You know... It's true though. Especially when they have short tails."
"Right!? Ponies don't think much about it because they see it everyday as foals, since everypony is used to it, it's normal."
>"Hm... Is that why everyone in Canterlot wears clothing?"
"Maybe... but most of them don't wear anything that covers it up though."
>"It must be really annoying for non unicorns to wear anything."
"It's not that hard! You're just too reliant on magic."

>>30292195

>No one has shown up...
"Buck it! Let's try to stop this thing ourselves!"
>You start trotting to the control panel.
>"Don't you need a key for that?"
"Don't think so... There's only two levers and a few buttons."
>He trots over to look at the panel with you.
>A grey button lies at the side of the panel, not sure what it does.
>Both levers look the same, one is pushed halfway.
>The labels on the levers are too faded to make out.
>There's a button next to the levers that only says lock/unlock, a light next to it shines with a green glow.
>"Think that light means the levers is currently locked in position?"
"Why don't you try pushing the levers?"
>"Uh... no. I don't want to be responsible for anything."
"Some accomplice you are..."
>"I need to bail you out if you get caught, can't do that if I'm next to you in a cell now."
>There's also a yellow button with a faded label next to the levers.
>A red button is next to it, the label is torn.
>If movies taught you anything, it's that you shouldn't touch that button.
>Gee, wasn't this supposed to be relatively new?
>Why is everything so worn down?
>Huh, there's also another grey button next to a glowing gem.
>Is this thing powered by magic or something?
>Why isn't there a manual for this?

>What do you do?

2/2

>>30292202
Press the green button. If nothing disastrous happened, then congratulations.
If the pressing of the green button turns up alright then slowly adjust a lever at a time, then reset them to the default position that you found them.

>>30292202
"Hey Ivory I'm gonna smash that gem"
Don't really do it though. We are not that crazy.

>>30292252
Why you propose sayin this though?

>>30292292
To make him panic.

>>30292252
Seconding this.

"Hey, Ivory."
>"What?"
>You point towards the gem embed in the panel.
"I'm gonna smash that gem."
>"What!? Why? It should be painfully obvious that it's something you don't want to do."
"Just because."
>"No! That's just..."
>You start raising your uninjured hoof, ready to swing down.
>"Wait! Don't!"
>He lunges onto you and grabs your left forearm.
"You know I won't actually do something that crazy, right?"
>He scrunches at you in displeasure.
>"With you, nopony could really tell when you're serious or not."
>He maneuvers into a comfy position on your back.

>Let's see...
>You press the button by the levers.
>The light next to it stops glowing.
>You look up at the ferris wheel, nothing seems to be happening.
>Good, nothing is exploding.
>You attempt to slowly push the lever that's already pushed halfway.
>The wheel seems to be spinning at a faster rate.
>Uh... You pull it back to the start.
>The wheel is still spinning quickly...
>You push the other lever.
>It slows the wheel down...
>You move everything back to its original position.
>Guess pushing the lever on the left starts spinning the wheel, and the lever on the right stops it.
>So, a clutch and a brake lever?

>What now?

>>30292452
Set it going at the slowest speed you can and hop in with Ivory.

I am thinking for the starting to date him we are always so sexually aggressive around him we will need to be completely serious here.

Something along the lines of "You know Ivory we are both getting older and are both still single. I have been thinking that maybe we should try dating each other"

>>30292499
Nah. We will do this on the last day.
>>30292452
Let's set the thing to super slow so we can climb on the watch the whole of Canterlot from the top of the Ferris wheel as the snuggle.

You know I thought one of the players was against dating him at all. Wonder where he is.

>>30292529
I accepted I was the only one who thought that and that it would be pointless to fight against it so I switched to just suggesting the way I think it should happen instead.

>>30292469
>>30292499
>>30292510

>You're not sure how you're gonna make it stop at the top, short of having another pony here stopping it for you, since there's no auto button or anything.
>You pull the clutch close to the start, and slow it down with the brake.
>The wheel is turning at a really slow rate.
>The door's closed, something here probably opens it, but you can just jump over the door/railings anyway.
>You hover over at the platform where ponies are supposed to get into the carts.
>A glance around shows no one in sight.
>"You're just flying in like this? Is this safe?"

>From 1-36, which numbered cart do you get on?
This is basically just a press x if you want to continue post. Is there's anything you want to do before getting in?

>>30292550

>inb4 we get shot down because he already has somepony.
That would be kind of cool now that I think about it. Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.

>>30292568
>giving me ideas
He'll tell you if he's seeing someone,
right? Best friends don't hide this sorta stuff from each other... r-right?

>>30292583
I dunno. I doubt he would agree to date us if he was seeing somebody so I suppose that leaves his options as rejecting us with some other reason or telling us about the other mare.

still you'r the qm. only you can decide if you will use that as a plot point and if so in what manner.

>>30292550
>>30292552

"Yup! Don't worry, the worst that'll happen is just you bumping your head."
>His grip tightens when you fly into the cart as it passes the platform.
>Swiftly landing in the surprisingly spacious cart, you toss your bag to one side of the bench.
>You let him off and move over the opposite bench.
>Looking out of the cart, you realize you're only a few meters from the platform.
>Think you might have set it too slow...
>This'll be enjoyable.

>You lay next to him in on the bench.
>He looks out, staring at the rest of the city as you slowly get higher.
>The night is so quiet, you can almost hear him breathing.
>Even during midnight, the entire city is still visible due to the moon's shine.
>Luna must be feeling happy.

>So many things you could do, look at the city streets, check out the castle, you might even be able to see the inside at certain points.
>Hmm, maybe you should take a few photos too?
>Wanna spook him? How do you do it?
>What do you want to say to him?

>Hold hooves? I haven't forgot this suggestion from last thread.

Going to eat dinner, take your time, I suppose.
Feel free to suggest something outlandish as long as it's within reason.

>>30292678
Take photos
hold hands
Where the hell did everybody go? I am inclined to wonder if the next update should be delayed until the rest of the players show up

>>30292687
Since this is kinda an important moment, I'll wait a few more hours for others to suggest something.

>>30292687
Oh also if the next update goes past that point do >>30292499 once we get to the top

>>30292772
This. Tell him we're sad that he missed out on the numerous hints we've dropped for him to indicate this.

>>30293125
Adding to this. Tell him that we had a lot fun today with him. We want to try out more intimate moments like that dinner we had. This is no joke, and we are completely serious here.

>>30293125
I don't so much like the idea that we have been dropping hints I much prefer the idea that we are always like that.

>>30293163
I prefer that we were noticeably more aggressive this time around. Sure, we constantly teased him in the past, but this was certainly different.

>>30293212
*I prefer the idea.

>>30292678
>>30293163
Like some romantic comedy. I like.

>>30293212
Maybe we can try this some other night. When the both of them are a little less buzzed. I doubt Ivory would pay Grace too much attention since she's a light weight. 'Maybe its the wine talking' he might think.

>>30293441
What about in the morning when we tell him were serious about going out dating? Alcohol won't be an excuse by then, and if Grace was being serious, she would bring it up the next day.

>>30293483
It depends on the place, time and mood.

Morning is a no as Grace and maybe Ivory might be suffering from a hangover, and it's not all too romantic to confess in the morning.
>confess to bf in the morning
>"Hey best friend, I've had a crush on you for a long time. That's not weird."
>"Also hurry it up in there! You're hogging the hot water!"

Maybe if something happens tomorrow. Til them they can just enjoy each others presence as they take in the sights of Canterlot from the top of the ride.

I think we should keep looking for shenanigans before this turns into a dating simulator or some garbage. No offense guys.

I ended up getting carried away doing other stuff.
Guess the quest is paused for now.

I was talking about dating, not confessing as that is way too soon, and it just seems a little strange to me that someone assertive as Grace would ignore what she said last night. I doubt dating won't come without shenanigans, but I understand your worries for it. It just seems strange for her to ignore last night when we made her character act open like this.

>>30293652
I don't want to go the always had a crush route.

>>30293739 me
>>30293908
Same. Maybe a feelings and interest for him that we developed to this point, but nothing as big as a long-held crush.

>Slowly moving your hooves over to his, you look down at the city streets.
>"Canterlot is quite beautiful at night, isn't it?"
"Mm hm..."
>"Think we can see other cities at the top?"
"Probably..."
>"..."
>The ride continues in silence.

>Your left wing instinctively hugs him when he snuggles into your side.
>Looking at you, he starts.
>"Why are you so quiet?"
>Still staring at the streets, you give your reply.
"Just thinking."
>"About?"
"You."
>"O-oh... okay?"
>He looks up, at the moon.
>...

>The cart you're in has finally risen above the buildings of the city.
>"W-well... Today was great, really missed spending time with you."
"Aw, you could've visited whenever. I won't mind."
>"I know... It's just that, you're always the one coming to me, so visiting you didn't come to mind."
>He sits straighter and puts his forehooves on the railings.
>"Wonder where should we go next time? The Crystal Empire? Or maybe... Zebrica?"
>You involuntary snort at his musings.
"It's only the end of the first day here and you're already thinking about that?"
>"Just planing for the future. Speaking of, I still need to learn the cloud walking spell."
>Cloud walking spell?
"Cloudsdale?"
>"Yup! Unless you're willing to carry me all day and night?"
"Heh, don't you already know the answer to that?"
>"Just asking for validation. After all, it's not nice to assume."
>You could see the castle courtyard from here.
>Hm?
>There's a lot of guards you'll typically see during daytime there.
>Wonder what are they doing, at such late hours.

>>30316393

>"With how quiet it is, this feels almost romantic..."
>Seeming to realize something, he begins speaking in a flat tone.
>"You gonna start dramatically declaring your love for me, aren't you?"
"No, not this time."
>Letting out a sigh, he rests his head on you when he leans on your side.
>"...You alright?"
>You nod in response.

>"Is there... anything you wanted to say to me?"
"Have you ever thought about dating?"
>"No? Not really. Why?"
"We may still be young, but we shouldn't squander our time."
>You look at him, for the first time since you laid down with him in the cart.
"Wait too long, and we'll end up growing too old for any chance at romance."
>You silence his replies with your hoof.
"So I've been thinking, that maybe, we should try dating each other."
>He blushes slightly.
>"W-with me? T-that's what's on your mind?"
>Nodding, you continue.
"Yeah. We work well together, and we already like each other, so this is the next logical step."
>You smile as you continue.
"Today was a lot of fun. And we've always acted like a couple anyway. Why not make it official?"
>"I-I... yes... I would like that..."
>His voice lowers to a whisper as he hugs and bury his face into your fluffy chest.
>"This isn't a horrible joke, right?"
>Oh gee, is he crying?
>Embracing him with your wings as best as you can, you slowly ruffle his mane with a hoof
"No, I'm completely serious here. Maybe next time, we can have a proper dinner date that doesn't end in disaster, eh?"
>...Is the pony you're asking to date supposed to be sobbing into your chest?
>......
>Isn't that something that only happens when you ask their hoof in marriage?
>...You can't help but wonder, what kind of reaction will he have if-no, when that happens.
>Slightly sobbing, his shaky voice reaches your ears.
>"I-I'm sorry... I'm just, so happy..."
>You're not entirely sure how you should respond.

>A quick glance shows that you're almost at the top, what should you do?

2/2

Ended up writing this when I was supposed to be doing other things. Sorry I didn't get this out faster.

>>30316399
I'm happy that you agreed to date me. I was thinking of asking for quite a while, so I just kinda pushed us into some intimate situations today. I also didn't think I would be able to make you cry by just asking you out. Am I really that special to you?

Continue to enjoy the cuddling, and comfort the crying Ivory on us. The top is usually where a couple dating kiss at the end of a date, right? I guess we can try if Ivory is comfortable with it.

>>30316399
Well. We are at the top and dating now. Kissing is a thing we should do here right.

>>30317740

>>30318974

>>30316578
yeah this

Maybe ask him why the tears, pretty sure we're not *that* cute...

>>30316399
Nuzzle bae. Maybe tear up a bit too? Dunno.
No more dreaming when it's already reality.

>You nuzzle against his mane to calm him, taking in the faint scent of flowers.
>Silence prevails though the span of a few minutes.
>Once you're sure he's calm enough, you start speaking again.
"I'm happy that you agreed to date me. I was thinking of asking for quite a while, so I just kinda pushed us into some intimate situations today."
>"Oh? Was all this,"
>He gives a slight gesture at the cart you're in.
>"part of your plan? You actually planed something for once?"
"Shush, crybaby."
>He pouts up at you while leaning on your chest.
>"Hey! I was just... caught up in the moment!"
"Hehe, why the tears? Am I really that special to you?"
>"You are. I never expected... any of this."
>Turning his head to stare out of the rising cart, he goes on.
>"Sure, the thought of being with you... romantically, had come to mind during our teen years. But the thought died pretty quickly, since you never actually showed any interest in me, and kept telling me about... things..."
>He looks back at you.
>"I didn't need you telling me about your sexual conquests minutes before important exams."
"You still passed in the end!"
>"Hmph."

>The ride slowly rises to the highest point of the wheel.
>Whoa, Cloudsdale doesn't seem too far from here.
>Shame that Manehattan is on the other side of the mountain, would've been nice to see it from here.
>Not that there's much you could see, with how dark everything beyond the cities are.
>Still embracing him with a wing, you speak up.
"So! You know what couples do when they reach the top, right?"
>"They ki..."
>He tries to look away, but with him caught in in your embrace, there isn't much he could do to hide the blush forming on his cheeks.
>Smirking at him, you add.
"Since we're one now, tradition dictates that we'll have to kiss here!"

>>30329951

>He looks to you, flustered to the point of breathing harshly and biting his lip.
>"U-um... y-you lead."
>Heh, you'll have to make sure he remembers this moment in the future.
>Putting your hooves around him, you slowly bring your face closer to his.
>He's trembling in anticipation, his blush intensifying as your muzzles touch.
>Your eyes close without any prompt from your mind as your lips meet.
>You til-
>The ride suddenly shakes violently.
>He yelps as you pull him close, your bag falling onto the floor.
>Hope your things are okay.

>"What the buck happened!?"
>The cart isn't moving anymore.
>The street lights have all gone out.
>"Why is everything turned off!?"
>You look down below, seeing a platoon of guards coming into the area, their armour blending in with the darkness of the night.
>Wow, they look so small from here.
>A (green? It's too dark to see properly) pony gallops past the panel you were messing with, with what appears to be a bag secured to his side.
>"Why are there so many guards here!?"
>You point towards the pony you saw.
"Think they're chasing that pony?"
>He squints a bit.
>"An entire platoon, chasing a single pony?"
>He turns towards you.
>"Should we get out of here? Or hide in the cart?"

>All lights in the area turned off when the ride shook.
>What do you want to do?

2/2

>>30329959
Take a photograph. we are a journalist after all. Try to follow them all. Say something like sorry babe, duty calls.

>>30329959
Get our camera, quick!

>>30329959
How dare he destroy the romantic mood, that's our job! Go after him.

>>30329959
Curses, they ruined our romantic moment! Carry Ivory and go after him! But first, a quick kiss. We'll offer a better one later!

>>30330071
I suppose we can bring ivory down to the ground if we must but carrying him as we go seems a bad idea. I would prefer not even doing the carrying him down though.
A kiss for sure though.

>>30329959
I need revenge! I'm going to go down there, push him to the ground, and take a picture of him! Be a good colt, and wait for your mare! Kiss him and chase that darn crook.

>>30331117
>I need revenge
Revenge for what?

>You quickly grab your camera from the bag, relieved that it's still in one piece.
>You're unsure if the photo will be clear enough to show anything, but you still take multiple shots of the scene.
>Maybe some important details could be caught?
>Huh, though the camera's lens, you could see that the pony isn't green, but their horn is glowing brightly with a green hue.
>You don't have time to check the photos, so you just quickly put them in your bag.
>Strapping your camera on, you prepare to take off.
>"Don't tell me you're going after them."
"Sorry babe, duty calls."
>"What duty? This is a vacation!"
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a few minutes. Take care of the bag for me, kay?"
>"You're not taking me along?"
>Why did he sound saddened by that? He should be happy you're not dragging him into danger again.
"Nope, enjoy the scenery!"
>"What scenery? Everything is so dar-eep!"
>You quickly pull him in for a kiss.
>As you fly off, you hear him whisper-yelling at you.
>"W-wait, what am I supposed to do here!?"
>A glance back shows that his expression is a weird mixture of being embarrassed and exasperated.
>Meh, he'll be fine.

1/2

>>30335387

>Weird, it takes much more effort than you expected to fly.
>Silently, you fly closer, downwards onto the roof of a nearby building to observe the situation.
>The sounds of hooves meeting cobblestone echoes through the area.
>Hm? Seems like the pony's at a dead end.
>You feel a chill as you move slightly closer, hovering slightly above the roof.
>The light of their horn shows that their coat is a dark blue, and the short mane is silver in colour.
>They, no. He's not wearing anything, other than that bag at his side.
>A thief, perhaps?
>The guards catches up to him, their weapons aimed at him.
>...?
>They're all earth ponies.
>And they're wearing weird glowing amulets, never seen guards with one of those before...
>You quickly take a photo of the guards and the pony.
>Good thing that your camera doesn't make any noise, hehe.
>You tuck the photo into a small casing you attached to the camera strap long ago.
>You could hear one of the guards' voice as they inch closer.
>"Surrender now! Scum!"
>The pony gives a panicked response, horn glowing brighter.
>"I-I didn't do anything! I'm innocent!"
>You have no idea what's going on, but you take another photo of the scene.
>Heh, somepony could spin a tale of abusive guards and it'll be believable with this photo.
>Sheesh, you feel awfully tired for some reason.
>Almost as if something was getting sucked out of ya.
>He spreads his wings and prepare to fly.
>Uh... what?
>You're 99 percent sure he was a unicorn a second ago.
>He flies up and off into the skies.
>You could probably catch him if you try.

>What do you do? Return to Ivory? Fly down and talk to the guards? Chase after him?

2/2

>>30335390
If he can shift forms, going after him is a bad idea. This is way above us, and those guards aren't likely to cooperate with us at this time. Let's go back to Ivory and say we're sorry for that. We didn't want to put him in danger, and we wanted that pony to get caught for some sort of revenge.

Promise we can make it up for him. Does he want another kiss or something?

>>30335390
I am guessing those amulets are antimagic and anti flight. Not sure why they would issue those for what appears to be changelings but we don't want to get caught. Keep taking shots as you move away from the scene. If the thief loses its flight like we are then try to land on a nearby building for more photos though.

>>30335390
Take some more photos of the very likely changeling. We should go back to our honey before we get to tired to fly and he gets stuck up there. These guards are suspicious, we might want drop a copy of these photos by some non amulet wearing ones later.

>>30335418
>>30336180
>>30336436

>...
>Nope, you're not dealing with any of this.
>You'll still snap a shot of him as a pegasus though.
>Ignoring the guards pursuit, you turn and fly upwards, towards your coltfriend.
>Heh, you'll need to get used to calling him that.
>Weird, the fatigue passes as you get further away from the guards.
>Ivory comes into view, he's staring at the moon... on top of the cart.
>Isn't that's really dangerous?
>How did he climb on top of the cart?

>You land next to him on the stationary cart.
"Hey! Sorry about that, I promise I'll make it up to you."
>"Mm hm..."
"I got angry that they ruined the mood, and didn't want to endanger you."
>"Mmm... What happened then? You got back faster than I expected."
>You give him a brief summary of the last few minutes, using the photos you've taken for illustration.
>"A changeling!? In Canterlot?"
"I didn't see him shifting with green flames though."
>"You must've been distracted, odds of a pony being able to cast something like that is extremely rare."
>He thinks a bit.
>"Last I've heard of a unicorn casting something similar was princess Twilight, before she became a princess."
>His eyes widen slightly as you show him the pics of the guards.
>"...? The guards are using anti-magic amulets!? Isn't that super illegal?"
"I don't know, I'm not a lawyer."
>"They should be! Because it's disruptive to a bunch of things, remember that article I showed you? From Vanhoover? How a bunch of ponies in a hospital died because of the effects?"
>Oh yeah, that was almost a year ago.

1/2

>>30336465

>Hm...
"Does that mean the cart stopped because of that?"
>"Likely, the radius of the effect should be pretty small, since I didn't feel anything."
"Well, we are pretty high up, if the effects reaches us, all of Canterlot would've been affected."
>...
"Wait.... Does that mean the wheel will start again when they get far enough?"
>He looks down at the silver roof of the cart.
>"Uh... oh..."
>He gets up on all four hooves.
>"We should get in the cart be-AHH!"
>He latches onto you as the cart suddenly moves.
>Good thing he's not strong, lest he ends up pushing the two of you off.
"Sheesh, that was dangerous! If I didn't came back, who knows what would've happened to you!"
>He trembles slightly.
>"Y-you're one to talk."

>With him on your back, you fly him into the cart.
>Your bag is set back on the bench.
>You store your photos and camera in the bag.
>Back on the bench you were on, he suddenly embraces you without warning.
>Despite his confidant action, he's blushing quite strongly.
>"S-so, are we gonna pick up where we left off?"
>Oh? Where did all this confidence came from?

>Let him lead? Turn the tables on him? Something else?

*Photos of guards using probably illegal equipment received.
*Photos of possible changelings in the city received, though there's no actual shot of him transforming.

Computer crashed again. Gave up and tried to sleep, but sleeping is hard, so here's an update. Why does viewing wikis always crashes my computer?

>>30336479
Well, I do owe you for leaving you hanging like that. Let's pretend the moment was ruined, and try to make it up.

Led him lead at the start before we start pushing slightly for a small makeout.

>>30336549
wasn't* ruined

>>30336465
>he's staring at the moon... on top of the cart.
>>Isn't that's really dangerous?
Kek.

>>30336479
Let him lead and see how far he goes. When he does some half assed kissing or shows reluctants is when we take the lead and make out with him properly.

>>30336595
He's a melodramatic guy alright.

>>30336479
Let im lead. Maybe a little proding from us.

>>30336595
Wait I just realized you meant the on top of the cart. I thought we just confused the moon with the sun.

>>30333499

>>30337875

>>30339182

"Well, I do owe you for leaving you hanging like that. Let's pretend the moment wasn't ruined, and try to make it up."
>"Okay, here goes..."
>He steels himself before tilting his head slightly to his right.
>Pushing through his apprehensiveness, his hooves pulls you closer to him, pulling you into a gentle kiss.
>Instinct tells you to close your eyes.
>His hooves slowly stroke your mane, the sensation of his lips on yours quickens the speed of your heartbeats, making you feel slightly warm and happy.
>All too quickly, he leans slightly backwards, separating the two of you.
>Breathing slightly quickly, he asks.
>"How was that?"
"Mm, not bad... could've been better."

>You place your hooves on his chest, pushing him onto his back.
>He gives a slight yelp as you pin his hooves to the bench.
>His blush comes back in full force, almost instantaneously.
>Lowering your head to his, you whisper to him.
"Let me show you how it's done."
>His heart quickens in response.
>Panting slightly, the scent of his breath floods your nostrils.
>Hm... fermented grapes...
>Moving down, you press your muzzles together.
>He freezes in surprise.
>Using his state of shock, you quickly push your tongue into his mouth.
>You could still taste wine, as it explores the interior of his mouth.
>He inhales sharply as your taste buds meet for the first time.
>Recovering from the shock, he seems to have gave in to instinct as his tongue starts wrestling against yours.
>Sounds of his soft moans rings into the night.
>Throughout the experience, your hooves' strength slackens, freeing his hooves.
>No longer pinned by you, they move up to your neck, desperately pulling you closer to him.

1/2

>>30342247

>Though it feels like hours, the kiss probably only lasted for a few minutes at best.
>You smirk down at his trembling form.
>He's trying to hide his reddened face with his hooves.
>Even with some distance between your bodies, you could still feel the heat from him.
>The silent night is filled with the sounds of his heavy painting.

>Through the corner of your eye, you could see that the ground is closer than ever, signalling that the cart has almost made a revolution once you've gotten in.
>What do you say/do?

Character limits, hate them.

>>30342251
Cuddle up for the rest of the way down and head back to the hotel to cuddle to sleep. Reassure Ivory that we're not going to do anything he's not comfortable with with rushing into. He's much more than some stupid conquer, he's the important pony in our lives.

>>30342251
Let's go back to the hotel and spoon bae. You can protect me as the big spoon. Cover my rear, hmmmmmm~?

>>30342251
Hop off.
Whatever we do don't forget to bring our camera. Those pictures are gold.

>>30343455

>You give him a nuzzle, before lying down next to him.
"You okay?"
>"Y-yeah..."
>Using your wings as a blanket, you softly reassure him.
"I won't do anything you're not comfortable with, tell me if this is moving too fast, alright?"
>He nods and snuggles closer to your belly.
>"I know. This whole dating thing may be new, but considering how close we already are, it's only natural for it to develop quickly."
"Still, say something if anything comes up, kay? You're much more than some stupid conquest, you're important to me."
>He smiles warmly.
>"I know, you're important to me too."
"Hehe, come on! We should head back."
>You rise and start collecting your things.
>"Can't believe all this happened in a ferris wheel..."
"What, not romantic enough for you?"
>"I'm not complaining."

>Once you've made sure everything is in order, you look over to him.
>He's still lying on the bench.
"Come on! Get on and let's go!"
>"I'm tired, carry me. Please?"
>In a practiced motion, your head lifts and flings him onto your back.
>"Ugh, you could've been a bit more gentle."
"Sheesh, all you had to do was climb on."

>The rest of the way back was uneventful, it doesn't take long before you find yourself entering your room.
>You set him on the bed and place your bag to the side.
>He rolls over face-first into a pillow.

>A glance at the clock near the fridge shows that it's already 1:26 a.m..
>You don't feel like doing anything else but sleeping.
>Still, want to do something like shower or eat before sleeping?

>>30349052
Foood.
Make sure we keep the camera under us. If somebody saw us they may break in while we are sleeping and try to recover the photos.

>>30349057

>You get your camera and the photos from your bag, trying to look for somewhere safer to keep them,
>Maybe under the bed or something? The sheets go all the way to the floor, so no one should notice anything in there if they don't check.
>Or you could keep the photos in the end table, though nothing's stopping anyone from just opening it.

>You're kinda craving for something light to eat, there's snacks in the fridge?
>Using your wings to hold your camera and the small file containing your photos, you check the fridge.
>Huh? The things in the fridge is different from yesterday.
>Do they change it daily or something?
>Wonder if they used some sorta magic for this.
>The top and middle shelf of the fridge is empty as usual.
>There's nothing in here except some snack bars and cold, not so pleasant sandwiches.
>...You should've brought some snacks.
>You could (sensually) eat a banana? Or some biscuits?

>"Come to bed already... I wanna hug something warm..."

>>30349156
Oh for some reason I thought the photos themselves were not available yet
Just put the camera next to the bed and the photos under our body. Then go cuddle after having a snack bar.

>>30349221

>You grab a bar and start opening and eating it with a wing.
>Tossing the wrapper into the trash, you quickly munch on it as you trot to the bed.
>Hm... You could taste almonds...
>Trotting over to the bed, you place the camera on the side table, next to a lamp.
>Putting the file under the pillow you're gonna be sleeping on, you lie down next to him.
>lying down with your back to him, you speak up.
"You can protect me as the big spoon. Cover my rear, hmmmm~?
>"Mm..."
>He drowsily pulls you into his embrace.
>His muzzle buries into your mane and neck.
>It doesn't take long for you two to fall asleep.
Day 2
>Something warm next to you shifts.
>You could smell coffee in the air.
>Opening your eyes, you're greeted to nothing but white fur.
>Moving your head back slightly, you see Ivory lying next to you.
>His magic levitating a sandwich floating next to a mug, it's probably filled with coffee, judging from the scent.
>He's reading a newspaper that floats in front of him.
>Guess he got it from the staff?

>Noticing you shifting and awake, He greets you.
>"Morning! Sleep well?"
>His voice feels louder than it should be.
>Good that there are curtains covering the balcony door, you don't think you could deal with the sun right now.

>Sleep? How do you reply? Ugh.... What should you do? ...Go back to sleep?

Pausing about 10-15 minutes for dinner.

>>30349264
I slept decently I suppose.

Check all the photos are still there and the camera has not been messed with.

Do we have a branch of the company we work for in this city or some way to get the photos and news back home?

I wonder where everybody is today. I seem to be the only player right now.

>>30349279
sleeping. Guess Tour's audience have bad time zones.

>>30349321
Timezones were a mistake. That is why equestria is so great. Everybody works on the same time.

>>30349264
Thanks. You're going to be the perfect trophy husband for me in the near future.Morning kiss for him.

Question for everyone, should I separate the pastebin into days or put them all together?

>>30349424
Separate pastebins for days sounds like a cool idea.

>>30349276
>>30349338

>A glance to the end table shows your camera in the same position as last night.
"Thanks, I slept decently I suppose."
>You move up, maneuvering around the newspaper to his face.
"You're going to be the perfect trophy husband for me in the near future."
>He recoils slightly in shock.
>"Husband!?"
>His food and newspaper shakes slightly.
>"I-uh-hahaha... y-you too..."
>You give him a kiss before he starts fainting or something.
>You stay on him, as you move a hoof under your pillow to retrieve the file.
>A quick check shows everything in perfect order.
>Hm, as far as you know... though headquarters is located in Manehattan, there should be a branch in other cities within Equestria.
>"Hold on, trophy h-husband?
>He chokes slightly on the word.
>"Isn't that a bad thing? And you're not wealthy nor are you unattractive."

Manehattten Living. Offer to shower with him. What's the plan for today?

Talk about putting your hoof in your mouth. I was just teasing you. Unless, do you want to be my trophy husband? Though I must say that I'm not letting you get out of my life so easily.

>>30349561
Fine, I can be your trophy wife instead if that's what you're asking!. Just be aware that I'm not giving on my job so easily. Or are you saying I'm not good enough to be a trophy wife?

>>30349730

Works for me.

>>30349561
>trophy husband
You silly billy. It's a joke. Kind of. Because the trophy husband or wife are typically for show, and I know you're much more then that. Mr. Magics.

Manehattten Chronicles.

Does he think the hotel charges for food we take from the mini-fridge, or does it come with the reservation? (Should as a pone staff member later)

>"What even is this supposed to mean!? Did we just proposed to each other!? Is this how it works?"
Well typically how this goes down is we get to know each other overtime, official dating with hoof holding and kissing, working out our faults and differences and accept them- wait no we already do that and I think that's marriage.
I think we'll keep going as we've always have, but with more intimacy and sincerity.

>>30350159
>Ivory needs to unlock 60% Grace affection for blow jobs

>>30350159
Kiss him you fool!

>>30350159
Are trying to use logic around me, Ivory? Perhaps we should cancel our planned marriage since me don't know me that well! In all seriousness, we've known each other for so long, remember? I doubt there's much I can hide from you after letting you preen me.

>>30350159
I don't think it is.

"It's from the fridge?"

>A few things catches your attention.
>(Yesterday, during midnight, there was a strange event where the street lamps had been going out and turning back on minutes later. Had the ponies responsible been lax with maintenance?)
>Huh, there's already something about that?
>They sure work fast.

>(Yesterday, several foals and ponies were injured when they set off fireworks without adult supervision. One of the firework rockets that wasn't set up, were accidentally lit and launched into the foals and passing ponies in central park.)
>Hmm? It feels like you've seen these young ponies somewhere before.

>(Feeling lucky? To celebrate this year's summer, 'The Celestial Gamble', a casino sponsored by Princess Luna herself! Is running a promotion where all payouts would be fifty percent higher than before! *Terms and conditions apply.)

>(Is the royal guard corrupt? 4 days ago, the castle's treasury was broken into, but nothing of note was stolen, or so they say. What are they trying to hide? If this keeps up, the crimes committing ponies of Canterlot's underground would only get more bold with their actions. Why isn't Princess Celestia doing anything? Is she also corrupt?)
>......How did something like this get through the editor? Last you heard, Canterlot has the lowest crime rate in Equestria.

>Seeing that he's finished the sandwich and his coffee, you suggest.
"Come on. Let's shower together!"
>"Alright."

>The two of you sit and converse under the torrent of water.
"Say, do you think the hotel charges for food we take from the mini-fridge, or does it come with the reservation?
>"I don't know, there wasn't even a price tag, was there?"
"Nope."
>"Just ask a staff later, even if they charge us, it shouldn't cost much."
"Yeah, it's cheap to you, but that's only because you're rich. A filling meal at Manehattan's hotel costed like, 20 percent of a month salary for me."
>"...Why did you stayed at a hotel in Manehattan?"
"It was for work, I had to stal... I mean, keep an eye on a celebrity that was staying there. There were rumors of her cheating on her husband when she's on tour."
>"And?"
"And it was a complete waste of time! Not only was a lot of bits wasted, she did nothing but read in her hotel room all day! And there was this weird, creepy music constantly playing non-stop!"
>"Maybe she was just setting the mood. She could've been reading a horror novel?"
"No, I checked, All books she had with her are romance books."
>"Okay...? First off, how did you know all of that? Second, was what you did legal? Third, who was that mare? Wait, don't tell me, I'll rather not know."
"I sneaked into her room when she went out, but she came back after a few minutes, I had to spend hours hiding in a closet!"
>"Oh? So, not legal then..."
"You won't snitch now... would you?"
>He stares at you, giving you a deadpan expression yet again.
>He rubs his head with a hoof.
>"I worry for the future. What sort of foals would you end up having?"

Why am I so emotional? I've never felt feels of this level from watching an episode.

It's alright Tour Guide. It's not like you haven't said anything bad to your family that you'll forever regret if they were ever to go away.

"Why are you bringing up foals now? Do you want to have some foals eventually?"

"Or~ now?"

tfw it needed to be split into two because it's only a few characters past the limit.

>>30366720
I'm sure this hotel offers more snacks and has information or some maps to share. Let's look around for those. Also, wear something? We don't need no clothes!

>>30366720
Have some breakfast and don a dress. Before you leave, ask one of the employees about the mini-fridges and the food costs.

We can participate in this later in the day.
If you don't mind if like to find the local news distributer. That stint last night smells something fishy, and I'm gonna get to the bottom of this...
Ooooooh. I wonder if they princesses would make me their head of intelligence. How cool would that be?

>>30366720
Head out with ivory and get a quick breakfast
Wander the shopping quarter
Make jokes about buy lingerie to make Ivory blush

>>30366720
>Want to wear something when you head out?
Would be a good idea to wear clothes in case somepony saw us last night
>Wanna leave anything at the hotel? Though you could, but there's no point lugging around your clothes and socks.
May as well leave that stuff behind.
>You still haven't ate anything, grab a quick breakfast somewhere?
Yes
>How should you look for the office, ask someone for directions? Find or buy a map? Wander the city?
Ask hotel reception. If they don't know maybe ask mum. Since we work for them she has probably taken note of where the branch is. If none of those people know wander through whatever district it is in back home.

>>30367414
Bump

>>30366720
Wild, lust-fueled sex, preen, continental breakfast, wear hat, get map, investigate that weird shit last night, royal gardens.

>>30368135
I think we should leave sex a few days. I definintly think we should worry about the photos before worrying about sex.

>>30368135
Don't worry about sex right now, go get breakfast, wander the town

>>30368135
Preen yes. Sex no. Ivory is definiyely going to be hesitant on that. Especially with the knowledge of our other 'interests'.

>>30368075

>>30368416
>Especially with the knowledge of our other 'interests'.
I think when it comss time to fuck we present him three options. Dominate, be dominated or vanila.

>>30369572
Start as vanilla sounds preferable. We do want our first time to be important with. But yeah, he decides dom or sub. Not like we care which part we play.

"You could do me big boy~"

>"No, I meant outside. What are we gonna do outside."
>You trot closer to him.
"That doesn't change anything~"
>"R-right, a-and what about the guards, or other ponies wandering outside?"
>You softly whisper into his ear.
"The balcony counts as being outside, or... they could watch~"
>He gulps and pushes you back.
>"Now that we're actually together, I can't tell if you're serious or not."
"Oh don't worry, you'll know when I'm serious."
>"Oh great, I'm gonna get jumped, aren't I?"
"Nah, you don't need to worry about that..."
>You move past him on the bed, flicking his muzzle with your tail.
"Yet."
>You rummage through the sheets for your file of photos.
"First thing we're taking care of,"
>Holding up your photos with a wing, you inform.
"Is these photos."
>You stomach growls slightly.
"...After breakfast."
>"Actually, someone should bring something up here soon. Weird that it's taking so long."
"You've ordered breakfast?"
>"Yup, the buffet downstairs is open too."
>After putting everything back in your bag, you lie down next to him.
>He's stroking the pillow like a cat, for some reason.
>"It doesn't seem particularly safe to publish those things. You sure nopony saw you last night?"
>You move your head over to his pillow and look up at him.
"Stop worrying so much, it'll be fine..."

>He moves around so that he has easier access to your wings.
>"If we're gonna wait here, might as well preen you right now."
"You're doing that now?"
>"If I'm not gonna do it, who else? Certainly not you."

"I should bu-"
>A young voice rings, accompanied with knocks on the door.

>Ivory hops off the bed and opens the door.
>A little aqua pegasus colt balancing a plate of pastries on his back is behind the door.
>He's even wearing a cute little uniform.
>He greets Ivory as soon as the door is opened.
>"Hi mister! Here's the food you ordered just now!"
>He continues as Ivory takes and places the plate down on the table.
>"Sorry it took so long, it's super busy downstairs."
>Tilting his head sightly, Ivory asks.
>"Why is a little colt like you working here?"
>The colt looks oddly sad at this.
>"I'm just helping out dad! I-I did something wrong, and the place is..."
>He thinks a bit.
>"Understaffed!"
>It is? You'll have to take his word for it.
>Hmm... maybe you can ask him.
>"I'm gonna head back do-"
"Hey colt."
>He spins around, his messy mane sweeps around and covers his face.
>"Yes? Miss?"
>He asks, trying to push his mane aside with a hoof.
"The food in the fridge, is all of it free?"
>"Yes! The buffet downstairs is free too! and uh..."
>He looks up at the ceiling, trying to recall something from memory.
>"Food you order between six to... nine or ten? In the morning and night is free."
"Okay, thanks."
>Ivory looks to the clock, before asking.
>"This is still free, right? I've ordered this hours ago."
>He looks up at him, eyes wide and ears folded back.
>"Yes, we're really sorry that you had to wait so long."
>Ivory looked like he had to stop himself from petting the colt.
>"No, it's fine. You may leave now."
>Heh, wonder if that's why they sent a colt for this.
>"Call if you need anything! Bye!"
>"He waves at you two before galloping away, probably downstairs.

>Ivory is back to preening your wings, while you eat some warm, sweet, creme-filled pastries.
>Mouth full of food, you try to make conversation.
"Sugh, I waf rying to say."
>You swallow before continuing.
"Think I should by some more lingerie?"
>"Don't you have enough of those?"
"I don't know... Isn't there anything in particular you want to see me in?"
>"U-um..."
"Maybe I'll even let you feel them with a hoof."
>"P-please, we've technically been together for less than a day."
"Come on, it's not like I'm asking you to wear them."
>You turn your head around to look at him.
"Unless... That's something you like?"
>He face burns with a crimson hue.
>"I-I would never, t-that's preposterous!"
>That's awfully defensive of him.
"Heh, if you say so."
>"Hmph..."
>He continues preening you as you munch on your breakfast.

>Setting your clothes in a neat pile.
>Well, a pile of clothes in a corner probably isn't neat to most ponies, but it's good enough for you.
>Hmm, you should wear something so you'll stand out less, just in case somepony saw you last night.
>Huh, you have no idea how you crammed a sun hat in here.
>Could provide some shade from the sun.

>Specify clothing. Yes. It can be something weird.
>Get Ivory to wear something? Feel free to make it normal, or something as crazy as wearing feminine clothing.

3/3

>>30380780
>put clothes in a pile in the room
There should be a dresser I'm the hotel room.
And that colt was absolutely adorable! Do you think that was the colt who played with the fireworks?

A simple yellow sundress and large hat to protect face from light. Ivory doesn't have to wear anything as it was just a jest. We're saving that for bed time~

>>30380780
A simple dress sounds nice for us. It will completely go through Ivory's expectations to wear something beautiful and elegant for a change. He could wear anything he wants. However, he won't something similar in the future.

>>30380780
>Specify clothing. Yes. It can be something weird.
Pretty dress
>Get Ivory to wear something? Feel free to make it normal, or something as crazy as wearing feminine clothing.
normal mens clothing of some sort.

>Rummaging through the pile of clothes as he lies on the bed, you speak up.
"That colt from earlier?"
>"Yeah?"
"Don't you think he's absolutely adorable?"
>"He is. You'll probably see him if you wander around the hotel."
"Think he was the colt who played with the fireworks?"
>"You mean the colt that set off fireworks at the buffet? Probably? You don't see any other colts around here."
>Hmm, wonder what happened there.

>While you're looking through your clothes, a brown glow levitates them all up and set them neatly folded on the bed.
"Hey! I was going through that."
>"You didn't even fold them, did you just threw a bunch of clothes into your bag?"
"Yup."
>He sighs, and starts looking around, before moving to the closet, opening and seeing that it's empty.
>"Tell me once you're done, I'll organize them and keep your clothes in here for now.
>His trots towards the balcony door.
"What? Don't wanna see me putting on clothes?"
>"Are you suggesting I should watch?"
"Maybe~"
>Turning back, he plops himself down on a couch.
>"Go on."
>Huh, didn't expect him to go along with this.

>Hmm...
>Guess this will do.
>You don a simple yellow sundress, and your (only) hat!
>Giving a little twirl, you ask for his opinion.
"What do you think?"
>"Not too bad... pretty fitting, honestly."
>He levitates your clothes into the closet.
>Following him, you could see that the closet is pretty large, all things considered.
>A pony could hide in here with relative ease.
>In a few minutes, all of your clothes, socks, etc. etc., is neatly folded and organized in different categories.
>Strapping on your bag and camera, you could feel that it's slightly lighter than before.
>"Well then, shall we?"
"You're not wearing anything?"
>"Buck no, it's hot outside, I don't wanna wear anything."
>Fine, you'll wait till bedtime to try out your plan.

"Do you have a map of Canterlot?"
>"A map?"
>She opens a desk and levitates a folded brochure to you.
>"You could use this, there's a map on the back."
>You received a tourist brochure.
>Hmm... there's only names of districts and several tourist attractions labeled.
"Do you know where Manehattan Chronicles' department is at?"
>"Why do you need to go somewhere like that? Give me the brochure."
>She marks a spot on the map with a quill.
>"There. Have fun or whatever."
>She goes back to reading the comic.
>Alright! Time to head out.

>You trot into the bustling streets with Ivory, it'll take some time to get to your destination.

>The sun has almost reached its zenith.

Trot there. Flying would make us easier to notice.

>>30381434
And go straight there of course.

"Nah, let's trot there."
>"Alright, lead the way."
>You trot on, while he follows you from behind.
>It's kinda hot, how do these ponies deal with this heat?
>They're wearing more things than you!
>Is there like, a cooling enchantment on their clothes or something?
>You kinda wanna strip the dress.
>But you can't, not now.
>"So, what are you planning on doing once you get there?"
"I don't know yet, that stint last night smells something fishy, and I'm gonna get to the bottom of this..."
>"Uh huh, need me to remind you that this is supposed to be relaxing?"
"But this is relaxing! Ooooh. I wonder if the princesses would make me their head of intelligence. How cool would that be?"
>"As cool as that may be, you don't have the discipline for something like that. If you're the head of intelligence, Equestria would be doomed in a few months."
"A few months? Not even a year or two?"
>You could hear the smugness in his words.
>"Nope, odds of you doing well are slim to none."
"Gee, harsh much?"
>"I'm just stating the truth, you'll probably be better as a spy or something."

>Hey! That looks like your destination.
>Even has a giant sign of the name on the building, weird that it's next to a fire department.
>"So this is it? It's... small."
>Trotting into a small room, you notice there's only a stallion sitting behind a desk, reading something intently.
>You could see that he's blushing slightly.

>What do you do? How should you complete about your objective?

Pausing.

>>30381729
>You could see that he's blushing slightly.
Blushing eh? Try and walk quietly up to him for the surprise attack to achieve maximum awkwardness, it'll get him off balance and more likely to acquiesce to our demands to see the editor to show him our hot scoop of the century. I think.

>He buries his face into his hooves on the desk.
>You could hear a sigh from behind, as Ivory moves next to you.
>"Is the editor inside?"
>"Why are you l-looking for him?"
"We're on vacation right now, but we found the scoop of the century!"
>"Accidentally."
"So I figured I should head to the nearest branch office to publish it."
>His voice is still muffled.
>"He's out for lunch right now. You could wait inside a while if you want. I-I'll tell him about you when he comes back."

>Kinda weird to be talking to a pony that's looked like he's on the verge of succumbing to despair.
>He mutters to himself as you trot back a bit.
>"Oh Celestia, nopony ever shows up here. Why didn't they just send mails like everypony else? Of all days, why today? Why now?"

>Ivory asks as you move to a nearby chair.
>"Well, what should we do for now?"
>Wait inside? Wait here?
>Talk to the stallion? About what?
>Do something else? Like get lunch or something?

2/2

>>30387162
Go get lunch, find a park and sit with ivory in the shade

>>30387162
I think we should wait for him. Ask rhe stallion what bet he was talking about. Was he masturbating to something stupid or something?

>>30387162
Foooood

>>30387692
Considering we didn't see him use magic anywhere else possible, it's safe to say he was using it in the most sensual manner possible.

>>30389052
Horn stroking. Lewd.

"Let's get some lunch, we'll come back later."
>"Alright."
>Ivory leaves the room at that.
>You move by the stallion.
"We'll get some lunch first before coming back."
>"Okay, sure..."
"What did you betted anyway?"
>"That's none of your business!"
"Come on, we both know what you were doing under the desk."
>"All you need to know is that the editor is a perv! Now shoo!"
"Fine. Have fun~"
>You trot away, flicking his snout with your tail.
>"Ugh... Now there's two of them."

>You trot into the rays of the scorching sun as it shines brightly from the highest point.
>Ivory points at a small café across the street.
>"Why don't we just head there for now?"
"Hmm..."

>Yes? No?
>You don't see any food stands nearby, only a fire station, a museum, and a guard station of sorts.
>A glance at the map shows that there's no parks nearby, only a bunch of unmarked buildings. That's what white squares mean, right?

>>30392940
Cafe it is.
If somepony comes for the photos we can rush them over to the office.

>>30392940
Take his suggestion and get some Thai ice tea (Or any cold tea) or an Iced mochaccino (Or whatever cold coffee variant). Either one for a hot day like this.

For food Grace will order a pastry, a sandwich or salad. Eat daintily. This is your good dress, and damn it all if you're gonna Get a stain.

>>30392973
Unlikely. The Canterlot firm is small. We did not tell them where we would be eating either.

>>30392990
No I mean if some guard comes to intercept them. For all we know we might have been seen last night.

>>30393008
Oh. Then wouldn't they just follow us back to the office?

>>30393030
I dunno. I just feel like acting paranoid.

>>30393037
Well. Think about it like this.
There is no way we are going to escape from a contingent or armed guards with enchantment. Grace and Ivory would be criminals, or fugitives if they manage to escape.
Escaping from the guards is very, very unlikely as the guards would ask for we witnesses for where they last saw you and for physical descriptions.
When news spreads it will eventually reach Graces mom and Ivory's parents.
On the chance that your fears become reality then there is no escaping the inevitable. Not unless you want to move to another county.

So hush up, but up, beat the ever loving shit out of your paranoia, and enjoy this hot sunny day with a cold one with our best buddy slash soon to be fuck buddy then married buddy.

>>30392973

"Sure! Café it is then!"
>The two of you trot across the street.
>There's a vibrant red awning above the café.
>A few ponies are seated at the tables outside.
>A unicorn mare wearing a green uniform is trotting from table to table.
>The mare greets you when she sees your approach.
>"Welcome! Follow me and I'll show you to a table."
>Ivory points at a empty table by the windows, under the shade of the awning.
>"Can we sit over there?"
>She looks over where he's pointing at.
>"Sure!"

>What shall you do here? There are magazines and newspapers inside the café.
>Sit outside or inside?
>Try observing random passersby?
>Try eavesdropping on other ponies?
>Something else?

>>30393099
>Try observing random passersby
Tell Ivory to make sure he is hush hush about the thing. Don't want some rival newspaper worker to overhear and steal our scoop. Even if it would be somewhat useless without our photos.

Jokingly suggest to Ivory that if things work out between us we could have a double wedding with mum.

>>30393109

>You follow the two of them.
>You place your bag by the sealed window, before sitting down.
>Sitting here, under the shade, you're given a good view of the ponies wandering the streets.
>In short time, you've gone through the menu, and have ordered some sandwiches to share.
>It doesn't take long for your iced tea and a cup of steaming latte to arrive, along with a plate of small sandwiches.
>Wow, the sandwich is smaller than your hoof.
>You could probably swallow an entire sandwich in a single bite.
>Good thing there's so many of them.
>Ivory sips at the latte as he reads a book he grabbed from your bag.
"Hey, be sure to keep quiet about last night, kay?"
>He eyes sweeps to your right, before replying.
>"Why are you asking now? You don't need to tell me to be quiet."
>Hmm?
>Ah, there are ponies seated awfully close to you, probably a bad idea to bring this up out of nowhere like this.
"Just making sure."
>"Please, your mom would've had a heart attack if she learned about our engagement."
>He blushes slightly as he says 'engagement'.
>You whisper to him.
"Heh, since this is working out so well, what if we had a double wedding with mom?"
>"I-I, wouldn't that be... awkward? She doesn't even know about us yet."
>He sips some more coffee.
>"Plus, she's not even sure when is she gonna get married, what if it happens tomorrow or something?"
>Heh, that's not too far fetched, if the stories of her wedding with dad is true.
>Though you're unsure about her fiancé, she's probably only going to invite you and some friends of hers.
>It'll be short and quick, and then they'll go bucking everyday during their honeymoon... or something.

>>30393180

>Sipping your icy tea through a straw, you observe the ponies wandering through the streets.
>Fancily dressed stallion and mares... a guard platoon leaving the station... a unicorn sweeping the streets, an oddly familiar pony sitting in an alley, behind some trashcans... working ponies leaving for lunch breaks...
>Huh?
>It's that (probably) changeling from last night. Weird that he didn't change his colours at all.

>What do you do?

tfw a hundred characters pass the limit again

>>30393182
Give the photos to ivory to give to the editor. Go spy on the probably changeling. Make sure he does not see you and if he starts to move follow him. If we get seen focus on photographs of him fleeing rather then trying to follow him. Would likely be a fools erand.

>>30393193

>You look at the stallion as you chew on a small sandwich.
>Hmm...
>Doesn't seem like he's doing anything.
"Hey, could you take my bag to the editor later?"
>"Why? It's so heavy."
"Look over there."
>He turns and looks at where you're looking at.
>"Is that... Is he sleeping?"
>Hmm?
>Huh, he is.
>Swallowing one of the tiny sandwiches, Ivory asks.
>"Do you wanna talk to him or something?"
"Not sure yet."

>Finish up and go talk to him, with Ivory or alone?
>Have Ivory bring along your bag and/or photos?
>Have him watch your things as you talk to the blue stallion?
>Observe him and see if he wakes or something? Go find the editor first?
>Anything?

Might be pausing for a short while.

>>30393258
If he is sleeping have ivory watch him while we take the photos to the editor. tell him to take note of the direction he heads in if he leaves.

>>30393258
I mean, if he tries anything I can just break his legs with this bad boi. Swish swish smack!

>>30393258
Let's go poke him.

>>30393258
>>30393281
Thing is we don't know if the editor is back from their lunch yet, and we still have some food to finish.

Ivory? Do our job? Pa-leeez.
And if you don't trust this guy, then why trust him enough to not do something to Ivory then? What if he's an evil bug and sucks his love juices? Ever thought of that?

Why not investigate this familiar stranger together?

>>30393258
Ignore him
Changelings turn into ponies they've seen before , he's probably the real deal

>>30393730
So? It's been proven that changelings are physically weaker then pones. We beat his ass if he tries anything.

>>30393258
What does Ivory want to do?

>A minute passes, probably.
>Looking back at Ivory, you ask.
"Think I should go poke him?"
>Placing his cup of latte back down, he replies.
>"Alone? No. I'm coming with you this time."
"Come on! I can protect myself."
>"I know, but still..."
>You take a sip of the refreshing tea before replying.
"Aww... Are you worried about me?"
>He clears his throat, ignoring your comment.
>"Ahem. For all you know, that could be the original."
>Glancing at the stallion again, he proposes.
>"How about this, he's not going anywhere. Let's just enjoy the rest of our meal first, then we'll go 'poke' him together."

>How do you reply?

>>30393901
Good idea. Say how many of these do you think I can fit in my mouth?

>>30393901
If it turns out that pony in the alley is just a run of the mill hobo, I could give him my banana.
In the mean time, wanna take a quick read at your enchanting book while we enjoys these samiches?

Roll Arcane to see if Grace learns anything.

"Good idea. If it turns out that pony in the alley is just a run of the mill hobo, I could give him my banana."
>"An actual banana or your 'banana'? I've seen what's in that box."
"Heh, I bet you'll like that 'banana' when I shut you up with it."
>"Oh? I'll like to see you try."
>Hmm... is it just you, or is he more receptive to your shenanigans today?

>You look down to the half-finished mountain of small sandwiches.
"Say, how many of these do you think I can fit in my mouth?"
>Flipping a page of his book, he stares at the sandwiches, then to your face.
>He smirks at you as he gives his answer.
>"All of them."
>Heh, you never back down from a challenge!
>You open your mouth wide, and throw sandwiches in with your hoof.
>One after another, it becomes too much when you try shoving the sixth one in.
>Oh Celestia, this was a bad idea!
>You try to chew and swallow the food, taking large mouthfuls of iced tea in the process.
>Once you've recovered from your near death experience, you become aware of the sound of hysterical laughter.
>"Hahaha! You actually... did i-he-t!"
"You know, I could've died."
>"Oh you would've been fine! I can just use magic to help!"
"You suck at magic."
>"I'm hehe... getting better!"
"You say that every time."
>He tries, and fails to calm down fully.

"What are you reading anyway?"
>You move your chair over to his side, ignoring the stares from some ponies, mostly unicorns.
>Looking over what he's reading, you......
>Why is there a picture of a weird circle?
>Why is math everywhere?
>What is that symbol?
>Oh hey! A cloud!

>He has finally calmed down.
>You lean on him as you take another sip of the tea, looking at other ponies again.
>Seems nothing much has changed.
>You've finished your food and tea.
>He pays for the bill that the unicorn mare brings to you.

>That pony is still sleeping, while sitting upright.
>That can't be comfortable...
>How do you wanna approach the possibly homeless stallion and/or changeling?
