Emerald asks about the story of how she got the mer-giraffe statue.

"Mostly good timing." Joyride says with a grin, "She was up by the ocean trading when she came across a mayor of a city having negotiations with a merpony chieftan. Some sort of dispute between harvesting rights and the such. The whole thing seemed like it was going to come to blows, but she managed to talk them down by suggesting a mutual beneficial trade agreement. Something along the lines of harvesting the seaweed or whatever it was and trading it for things on land that the seaponies couldn't get."

Borba nods, and Joyride sits down next to the giraffe and continues, "Unfortunately one of the merchant families had been using the disagreements to try and force the merponies away, and when he learned that the agreement the mayor and the merponies made would cost him money he tried to get rid of them himself. Borba and some of the townspeople stepped up, won, and now Borba has become an honorary member of their tribe."

Joyride grins again and pats the statue she brought out of storage.

What does Emerald do?

Are Giraffes bro-tier? Y/Y?

That's great. She looks like a total nerd, that makes it even funnier. But the whole image is great honestly.

>>30631113
I take it you were there then, Joy? From the way you talk about it you make it sound like you were there. If you managed to get her to talk that much, let alone tell a story like that i'd be impressed. How long ago was that, anyways?

I'd also like to point out how pretty the statue is and that seems like a great gift.

Has she met anyone famous, like royalty or something?
>>
>>30631113
That is one cool ass statue. Tell Borba it's very cute; looks a lot like her!

Ask her what kind of wares she sells. Anything useful for a colt that trouble seems to seek out often?

>>30631400
>Has she met anyone famous, like royalty or something?
Ask if she's ever met Sun or Moonbutt

Emerald asks Joyride if she was there for all this.

"Nah, Borba explained it to me some time ago. Took forever too." Joyride says sighing up at the giraffe, who gives an apologetic smile.

Emerald asks if she has met anyone famous like royalty or anything.

The giraffe shakes her head, and Joyride says, "Most people don't like or trust giants enough to let them close to their royalty. Suits her just fine though. She has ins with a bunch of castle clerks though, I'm sure.

"That would have been cool if you had met like, Celestia and stuff." Ruby says, a little disappointed.

"She's never been to Equestria, as far as I know." Joyride says, looking up to the giraffe, who nods.

Emerald asks what she sells.

"She a fan of trade goods. Uncommon spices, raw metals, various kinds of cloth and canvas... Sometimes she'll even find buyers for the artisans she supplies." Joyride says.

"Yeah, she bought a bunch of tools from one of the goats we visited." Ruby says, "And he bought a bunch of weird bluish metal bars in return."

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>30631588
INT them bluish metal bars, yo. When's the last time we actually made any kind of roll? Boost that shit because usually we have some leftover at the end of every thread.

Here's hoping it's mythril or some shit, cuz I'm a nerd.

Even Joy looks so tiny next to Borba,
shiet.


Also, I wanted to
>That is one cool ass statue. Tell Borba it's very cute; looks a lot like her!
Because it's a subtler way of saying Borba is a qt without being overtly lecherous. CQ pls, I cannot rest until we're buried under that giraffe
>>
>>30631601
Sure, I think we should int roll for knowledge on them too, we haven't done that in a while.

>>30631588
Ask Borba and Ruby if they'd show us the vendor that had the Etherlock pistol, tomorrow. Then ask Joy if she's had any developments with the plan involving the white horned deer. Maybe squeeze in some magic practice too.

>>30631588
Will she be staying with us for awhile? I'd like to know her better. Do we have any good books on giraffes?
>>
>>30631588
Ask ruby quietly what errand did joyride have her do.
>>
>>30631814

nothing wrong with getting lovey. do we still have time today to grab that Etherlock? I really kinda want one we can put together and take apart ourselves, so that joyride can improve the megical components, techride can bling out the tech components, and Olam can teach us to customize the alchemical components slash cartridges.
>>
>>30632334
Sadly we don't have enough time left in the day yet. That's why we came back home and now we're trying to figure out what to do before it gets to be late enough to go to bed. It'll at least have to wait till tomorrow.

Emerald asks what the blue metal bars were.

"Blue Iron." Joyride says, "Goats are sort of perfectionists, and so prefer the highest quality materials they can get. For tools, blue iron would probably be pretty good. it wears slowly and is very hard."

Ruby asks if she can climb up on Borba, and when she nods in approval Emerald asks as well. She chuckles, and then nods her head again.

After climbing up atop her back the colt asks where Joyride and Ruby went.

"Gathering intelligence." Joyride says grinning, "For when the white deer comes down. I think I have a plan. It'll be you and me, lil' perv."

"Huh? Why can't I come?" Ruby says, glaring at Joyride.

"Because Emerald was raised in a castle and so probably has some sense of decorum, which is more than I can say for you." Joyride says, grinning at Ruby this time, who sticks her tongue out at the unicorn.

The mare goes on to say that it'll occur the day after tomorrow, and Emerald says that's good because he wants to try and get the etherlock. He asks if she wants to come.

"Eh, sure. The only thing I really have coming up is getting that deer horn anyway."

What does Emerald do?

Go! Awkward boner! I choose you!

Would certainly fit the face Emmy's making right now
>>
>>30634302
Oh no, she just got hotter now that she just effectively disrobed, are you just playing with us now Fic? And we get to see Emmy being cute on top of it, thanks Fic.

Is Borba going to be involved in this plan too? Is she going with Ruby? What's Ruby gonna do to help then? Do you want us to help with any last minute things, should we make some potions just in case?

Joy can we get some cool armor like you have sometime? You know the stuff that you used on the pirate ship. Does it have enchantments on it too?
>>
>>30634302
Ask where Borba will be staying tonight? do we have any rooms for giants?

>>30634302
pet the borba. Does she need a brushing?

>>30634302
Can we see the library on books on the order of crown?

I'm sure Ruby's bed has room for giants. Hrm, are sex toys and cloths near the pistols? We could get something for sis.

>>30635098
Yeah but she's gazing directly at Joyride with that look. I suppose if we truly want to spend some quality time with her we'll have to talk to Joyride about it and get her to help us set it up.

>>30635258
I don't think Joy got lucky with Borba either. We gotta rope this giantess on our own

She certainly looks like she might get lucky with the way that Borba is directing her gaze at her.

I think Fic just forgot to make it consistent, but that's less fun, now isn't it?

definitely just a mistake but that is no fun. Borba came across her own secret to immortality during her travels and met Joy a few hundred years ago.

I wanna ask Borba how come she hasn't chosen a place to settle,(she seemed a bit sad when Joy mentioned that she tends to wander, and that is making me curious). Have you just not found a place you find suitable yet, or is there something else holding you back.

Emerald asks where Borba's been staying during the nights.

"Well, she obviously can't fit through my front door." Joyride says, "So I set up a place for her to stay in the cellar. It's still a little snug getting her in the doorway, but she can manage."

The colt sits up, and blushing slightly says she has a very pretty mane. He then asks if she wants it combed.

Borba chuckles at this, and nods graciously.

Joyride pulls a comb from under her mantle and levitates it up to the colt. Ruby gets pretty jealous at this, and so the pair take turns brushing the giraffes gigantic head and mane.

As he watches the filly brush Borba's hair, Emerald asks how she decided to become a merchant and travel so far and wide.

Borba smiles a bit sadly again, and Joyride says, "Kicked out of her herd, sort of. She can return there all she wants, but she's not allowed to stay with them."

"Huh? What happened?" Ruby says, stopping her brush and looking concerned up at the giraffe.

"Essentially fraternizing with the enemy, essentially." Joyride says shrugging, "In the area she lived the zebras and the giraffes didn't get along to well. Borba attempted to bind them together in an trade alliance, but the elder's of the herd shot it down. This didn't deter Borba however, and she invited the zebra's to discuss a possible economic solution."

Borba sighs, and lays her head down. Joyride continues though, and says, "The zebras used it as an excuse to get close and attack however. Even though Borba's herd fended them off, there were deaths on both sides and now the relations between the two species were worse than ever. For going against their wishes, the giraffe elders in Borba's herd essentially declared her not of their herd but still an ally. As such, she was allowed to visit them, but never to stay long term."

What does Emerald do?

Say we're sorry that happened to her. Explain a bit about our past too, how we had to flee our home and almost died doing it. But also point out that it's a bit different from her story, and even though it hurts, we wouldn't go back, and so we can't really imagine how she must feel.

Emerald takes over the brushing again, and asks how long ago this happened.

"A few years, I think. She's been on the road for a while." Joyride says, looking up in thought.

Emerald says that he can't return to his home either, at least not yet. He says he understands how hard it is, and feels for her.

Borba gives a thankful nod to that comment.

The colt then asks if she is okay down in the cellar, and asks if she needs pillows or blankets or anything.

"You sayin' I can't provide? Look, I set her up nice." Joyride says with a fake pained voice. She walks over to the cellar and pulls out a key and opens the door.

It reveals a large, expensive looking circular couch with a few pillows on it. Underneath the couch is a nice red carpet, and hanging on the wall behind the makeshift bed is a red tapestry with gold trim.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>30640471
Look for change underneath the couch cushions! I bet we'll find a fortune in there.

>>30640471

(Nice edit!)

Ruby rushes up to the bed and bellyflops onto it. She turns over and leans against one of the pillows and says, "Hey, this is pretty comfy!"

Emerald kinda wants to do it too, but he's a little bit concerned at jumping up on someone's bed. The colt looks up at the giraffe, and she motions to go on.

Emerald rushes and jumps on the couch-like bed as well. It really is quite soft.

"Hey, there aren't blankets here." Ruby says looking around, "Thought you said you provided for her."

"She didn't want them." Joyride says, pointing up at the giraffe, who nods, "She is probably used to sleeping without them or something, I dunno. I can't imagine there are too many places that can accommodate her."

"Hey, can I stay here tonight too? I don't even have to sleep on the bed, I'll just go grab some blankets and stuff!" Ruby says, starry eyed at Joyride.

The unicorn rolls her eyes with a grin, and Borba nods in confirmation.

"Alright! Hey Emerald, you're coming too right?" Ruby says, looking over to the colt.

What does Emerald do?

I like this too. I don't know which idea I like more now. Maybe we should strawpoll this? Unless Joyride doesn't feel like milking us, then we join Ruby and Borba for sleepy snuggles.

>>30641498

Only if Borba and Ruby aren't into a threesome.

>>30641585

>>30641603
Ruby is for lewd. You're several threads late on this.

Emerald nods his head vigorously. Soon the pair are off to Emerald's flat and they grab some blankets and pillows from the bed and also a nearby closet. They then dash down back to the cellar. Joyride and Borba were talking, or at least Joyride was speaking to the giraffe, but she stops as soon as she sees the two.

"Ah, the shrimps are back. Guess I'll call it a day." Joyride says.

Emerald asks if she wants to join them as well.

"Well, a foursome does sound fun, but I think I'll decline this time." The unicorn says with a wink.

The two foals pile into the cellar, and with Borba inside as well the space seems suddenly a lot more cramped. Emerald and Ruby unroll their bedding onto the floor, and flop on top of them.

What does Emerald do?

>>30642091
Dial it back a bit why don't ya? I'm sure there are some anons that genuinely want lewd rubies and you hammering strawpolls in everyones face every thread isn't doing them any favors. Need I remind everyone how even in the beginning of this quest samefagging was rampant. Does a particular Nips picarto stream come to mind, anyone?
>>
>>30642303
I'll dial it back when people dial back on the "Ruby is not for lewds" nonsense. Frankly I think both sides of this are stupid and whether or not lewds happen with her should depend entirely on where the story and opportunities take us. But as long as people want to keep insisting that she is completely off-limits I'll be happy to let them know that she's not.
>>
>>30642144

Make a fort out of the closet. Ask Borba what she likes to do in bed. whisper to Ruby that Borba likes her.

>>30642488
It really shouldn't take up so much of each thread.
>>
>>30642488
This. It feels like a minority of the people here are trying to tell everyone else what they can and cannot do. It is most definitely a possibility to lewd Ruby. Does it have to happen now? No. But if the time is right, then we'll go for it.

Quit trying to impose limits on the rest of us. It's annoying.
>>
>>30642488
>>30642524
Inversely it annoys me when people want to inject lewding the filly whenever remotely possible. Shitposting begets shitposting.

Ruby and Em is OTP. If we ever lay Ruby, I want it to be meaningful, not just because we're a horny deviant and we can. If because we can is the only reason, stop.

Since they were on the topic of leaving home before, is Emerald up to maybe telling the story of how he got out of the Middle Kingdom? Everyone likes stories before bed.

Then have lewd dreams.

>>30642144
Perhaps we can talk about what happened after we left alcaris and was still stuck in the city.

>>30642854
I'm not a fan of the whole "them all being siblings" concept that's been hinted. Unless it's somehow imperative to the story, I wouldn't use it. It just seems incredibly contrived that Em would somehow have a chance meeting with his long-lost sister in a strange city he doesn't know. and then end up bonding with her before they even know they're related.

If there needs to be any relation that links the 3 of them, the fact that they've all been gem-bearers should be strong enough, in my opinion.

Emerald considers what to talk about for their little sleepover. Emerald considers speaking about his past but... He's honestly more curious about Borba's, and he certainly would like to learn more about Ruby. He feels like there is more there.

What does Emerald do?

>>30647794
We already know most of Em's story and Ruby is part of the team, so I'd like to get to know Borba a bit more.

Emerald decides to ask Borba a bit about her past.

"Hey yeah! You ever seen any other giraffes in your travels? Like ones outside your herd?" Ruby says, propping herself on her pillow.

Borba nods and takes out a pencil and a notepad. When the other two gather closer she draws a small little comic. From what he can tell she met one out at a village somewhere to the northwest. She was apparently not a very nice giraffe, and had to be brought to justice.

"Ah, hmm... Well that... Sucks." Ruby says, clearly unsure how to answers.

Borba seems to want a change in the topic. Perhaps Emerald could ask her a question.

Emerald asks what every ones favorite color is.

Ruby instantly responds red, and Borba thinks for a second, and then writes down "purple".

The colt then asks what Borba's favorite food is.

She draws what appears to be a cube, which she explains is made of mashed acacia leaves, sugar, spices, and gum arabic.

Emerald asks what the difference between zebra culture and giraffe culture, and if they have any religions like the zebras do.

She draws out some pictures that seem to indicate giraffes are tribal and somewhat nomadic. While they don't technically grow farms or anything, giraffes tend to take care of the trees and other food items in their territories. Unlike most other cultures, giraffe's go on hunts. They take and use the bones, hides, and whatever else they can from their kill. The meat is often used to barter, or simply left in a heap outside their camps. This has led to dangerous predators and opportunistic scavengers to tolerate a the herds presence. This, and the fact that they are rather brutish and territorial has led the most giraffes to be at odds with most "civilized" society", and on occasion, their own kind.

Giraffe worship is monotheistic, involving a god that Borba writes the name as "Xorolu", and draws his symbol. A rather stylized drawing of a giraffe head. In giraffe language Xorolu is apparently the same word as the earth beneath their hooves, since in their religion everything was created and walks upon the god's back. While he is the only true god in the pantheon, they have several revered bulls and cows among them.

Her favorite seems to be a giraffe by the name of "Mul the Talkative". This particular giraffe apparently found Xorolu's neck on her travels, and climbed for a thousand years to reach his head and ask him questions. She then came down and spread her knowledge to all giraffes, and that's how the written and (rarely spoken) giraffe language comes from.

What does Emerald do?

>>30652703
That sound pretty interesting. Ask borba how large the average herd is.

>>30653039

>>
>>30653342
I actually like this idea, not quite the exact tease but the concept. It's childish, playful, and kid's gonna kid. Make Borba regret having a couple of rambunctious foals tearing around her quarters, but in a lighthearted sort of way.

Emerald asks how big the normal tribe is

Borba writes that they usually range from about fifty to 300 giraffes, but the latter number is a rare instance for just the largest areas where many giraffes come and go. Sort of a city where no one really lives permanently.

The colt then asks if she has met any other giraffe merchants.

"Nah, I already asked her that." Ruby says, curling up in her blankets, "Out when we were in the goat district. I thought maybe giraffes made it kind of a thing to be merchants."

Emerald then asks if she has anything with giraffe language in it.

She smiles,and reaches around where she left her leg-bags and pulls out a small (for her) book from them. It appears to be a sketchbook of some kind, but inside is what appears to be a giraffe to zebra dictionary. The scrawling nature of the writing makes Emerald think that she wrote the whole thing and asks.

Borba nods, smiling.

What does Emerald do?

>>30654324

Emerald pops the book open and begins to read. To him, it seems like she wrote down words as she thought of them, as most of the start of the book is very conversational giraffe words converted to zebra language, such as "Good Morning!", "My name is ___", and "May I use the bathroom?"

He wished it went a bit more into the grammar of the Giraffe language since the sentence structure seems odd to him, but as he looks up he notices something.

Borba is resting on her pillow sound asleep. The colt then turns to Ruby, who also appears to be asleep, snoring slightly, her blanket seemingly left where she kicked it off herself during her rest.

Jeez, how long was he reading the dictionary? Emerald curls up with the book intending on reading more, but soon sleep catches up with him.

----

Emerald awakes the next day, still clutching the giraffe dictionary a bit uncomfortably. He thinks the books corners may have left bruises under his fur, in fact.

He looks around to see Ruby and Borba are apparently out of bed already, and walks out the cellar door.

It's early in the day still, and Borba and Ruby are sitting outside chatting.

Ey yo, I like me some Olam action too, but you're being too pushy about it. We've got some things to take care of and we aren't expected to be there all the time. He's given us "homework" of sorts, Besides, that'll give him some time to build up a nice thick and copious cumshot, or two for us. that Joy has yet to give us so just chill on that for a moment. We've got the deer horn to worry about and the heist details to get, so that's already a few things to balance on our plate.

Emerald asks if everyone wants breakfast. They seem amenable to that, and as they decide what to eat Joyride walks from around the corner of the house.

"How was the sleepover? Hopefully you didn't stay up too late!" Joyride says, wiggling her eyebrows.

They tell her they are going to get breakfast, and she says she can handle it. She disappears back behind #304 Coursewalk, and returns shortly with lot's and lot's of mushroom dishes.

"Here ya go, saved this one for you lil' perv." She says, holding out a long, cylindrical mushroom with an oddly latticed top.

"It's called a Phallus impudicus." Joyride says, "The common stinkhorn!"

Flip the table on her and sensually eat the "Phallus impudicus". Then ask her if she's ready to go out and about.

I still want to get a bangin outfit/disguise cause of our last one being slightly compromised. It's not like we can't wear it ever anymore, but I think we should be a bit more careful about where we wear it now. Though i guess for how often anyone has recognized us now, it's like we aren't even being pursued now.

eat the mushroom.
>>
>>30661558
I was trying to make a joke. Though in all seriousness , I could imagine the Order would be on higher alert for trying to find him now, seeing as how they know he knows something about demonic shenanigans his step parents are getting into. And you know how much they hate that.

I'm honestly not sure why his step parents don't seem to be on higher alert in looking for him, but maybe it has to do with the fact that the Order very well might be breathing down their neck now.

>>30661601

>>30661601
>>30661633

Also, there is the fact Em has been pretty good at not announcing is presence in the city. The only clue of him being here was that shape shifter and his impersonation made it seem like Em wasn't around.

Emerald bites down hard on the stinkhorn, looking Joyride straight in the eyes. It actually has a pleasant crunch, and tastes a bit like radishes.

The group heads over to the Goat district, which to Emerald seems an almost entirely different city. Unlike most of the other areas the buildings here are completely stone and brick. Even though there are addresses marked on the street, most of the buildings seem to link together, and the colt can even see some of the buildings go underground.

Borba leads them to a shop with a chiseled blackstone sign that says, "Kordemsky Supplies" in the Goat language.

"Borba and I are going to go check out something really quick while you guys figure this out. Hey, you know if you want the best price you gotta flirt a bit right?" Joyride says, waving as the pair walk away.

"I ain't flirting with an old goat." Ruby says, crossing her arms, seemingly mistaken who that comment was meant for.

The foals walk into the store, and Emerald feels like he walked straight into a machine instead. The inside is full of boilers, turning wheels and cogs, steam vents heavy wires.

Behind seemingly the only stationary object in the room, a counter, is a goat. He is quite old with a bushy beard that Emerald is worried might get caught in the whirring instruments around his head. He's colored almost entirely different shades of gray. The only thing colored on him is the gold trim around the cape he is wearing.

"Ah, you are that kind that came in with the giraffe." The goat says, "Is something the matter with my order?"

"Nah, Emerald here wanted to visit." Ruby says, pointing to the colt.

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>30661983
Can't tell if old or just goat.
Tell him we want to buy some ether lock pistols.
>>
>>30662028
I think it's just goat
>>
>>30661888
Well he doesn't have to blurt out his presence to have it seem odd that no one in the big city recognizes him, especially since he doesn't even don a disguise anymore, lately.
>>
>>30661983
say we would like to see his wares. particularly the one's that shoot.
>>
>>30661983
Hi! We were just here to inquire about an Etherlock pistol. And since goats are pretty well known for their skill in mechanics,(I don't know if they actually are, but laying on the complements a bit shouldn't hurt anything, right?) I figured you'd be as good as anyone to ask about such a device.
>>
>>30662082
I think complementing his race might be a little ass kissy. I think maybe you could wait and complement him personally.

Maybe say we like his beard.
>>
>>30662108
>I think complementing his race might be a little ass kissy.
You know what, on second thought I think I can agree. Maybe compliment him a bit by saying talk of his skills are what brought us here. And ask him a bit about his beard and how he manages to not get it caught in things, that seems like a scary scenario when working with machines.
>>
>>30661983
complement the nice beard and clothes he has.

"Aaand what can I help you with, little one?" The goat says, leaning over his counter to look at the colt.

Emerald says that he is looking for an etherlock weapon, and wants to inquire if he has one.

"Yes, yes I have been known to sell such things. You'll have to find the ammo yourself though. It's a bit of a rarity nowadays." The goat says, giving a wheezing chuckle.

Emerald asks how much etherlocks are.

"Hrm..." The goat says frowning slightly, "Already worried about the price before you've seen my wares? Feh. The cheapest I have is an etherlock pistol for about 900."

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>30667926
let's take a look at it and ask why the ammunition is hard to get?
>>
>>30667926
I say we do a haggle roll like we did before,(I forgot what it used). And ask him if he has a way we can learn about the inner workings of the gun so we can maintain it ourself. We travel a lot sometimes and we can't always come back to the same place whenever we may need to have maintenance on the Etherlock. What kind of ways can you customize the thing? Would it be feasible to add alchemy traits to it like shoot bullets that burst into flame on impact, for example?

Before I forget, we should ask Joy if she could enchant a holster or something for us like the way that our knife of subtlety is enchanted. It should work if it's not trying to enchant the gun directly, right?
>>
>>30667926
who manufactured these and were they shipped in or made here?
>>
>>30667926
Use INT to list off some of the parts, what they're made out of, and the nature of the enchantment. Tell him we know it isn't worth that much.

Pastebin says 789 bits? We need to get him to budge down that far, maybe we can trade him something, too.
>>
>>30667926

We're looking for the best one. Not the shiniest, but the one with the most potential. We want to modify it for a project. boost our rolls for quality and haggling.

I want us to be able to have Em work with Joyride, Techride, and Olam to trick out the magical, technical, and alchemical parts of the gun to hell and back. We're going to need it when Uictoria and our parents finally find us.
>>
>>30668188

We actually have more than that. Em hasn't been paid for all of his clients yet. We probably have 2-3K coming in, maybe a little more since we owe Joy a little less than last time.
>>
>>30668330
Sweet ass, custom gun, hype.
>>
>>30667962
Joy said she'd show us how to make our own shells for it so we should be go.
>>
>>30668440
I think they're asking why the ammo is hard to find for curiosity purposes.
>>
>>30668356
Clients like who? Last job was the changeling and I thought we already got paid 500 for that one

Emerald asks who made the etherlocks that he sells.

"I did, actually. Don't get many buyers, other than collectors though. Most people want my other wears." He says, and then reaching behind his counter he presses a button and a small shelf spins into place next to Emerald. It contains cook wear, "Can I interest you in some ladles? How about an adamantium cooking pot? Guaranteed to never warp!"

Emerald shakes his head, and then asks why the ammo is hard to get.

"Etherlock ammo was a combined effort of Goat ingenuity and pony magic. Very few people currently have the knowledge or the connections to be able to make them." The old goat says.

Emerald asks if there is a way to customize the thing so it could shoot bullets that burst on impact.

"The gun itself? No, but that's what the special shells are for, and yes, there is a bullet that causes firey explosions." The goat says with a grin not unlike his mentor's.

Emerald thinks about his current monetary situation. He is slightly short the 900. He may be able to haggle it down a bit, but he is pretty sure the goat won't go down a whole lot. Perhaps he can barter or offer "something" else?

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>30668627
Time to flirt and shave some bits off!
Let's offer to negotiate with him in the backroom.~
>>
>>30668627
Do a haggle roll. how about 770? We'll buy the ammo another time.
>>
>>30668627
how much would the gun itself cost?

Ask that we may actually see the gun first.
>>
>>30668627
>>30668649
If we're gonna haggle we should boost the roll, but I really don't think that's going to work on this guy. He also does not strike me as the sort that would be interested in sexual favors from anyone, let alone a colt. I think we need to come up with a different approach here.
>>
>>30668649
>>30668627
Boost the roll.

Ask to see the gun and compliment his establishment and his beard.

>>30668627
Lewd haggling. Boost it. Hopefully he hasn't gotten any in a while.

Ask if we could make a down payment. and then pay the rest later.
>>
>>30668549

I thought we hadn't been paid for the changeling. Technically Sensora and Olam should owe us a little, but those aren't really ones we're going to collect on. Maybe I'm forgetting?

>>30668627

See what the perfect gun is first, then offer barter. Or better yet, see if we can't get the perfect PARTS. Those will probably be better and cheaper in the long run. Then we can sleep with him...Em's worth more than 1k, so it should work out.

Oh, and boost rolls.

>>30668818

Only Ruby is.
>>
>>30669030
>Sensora and Olam
Olam is paying in tutoring us In alchemy and Sensora we already asked her for a favor so in a way she already paid. I feel we'd get them mad if we suddenly asked for cash.
>>
>>30669148

I agree, hence why I said we shouldn't try and collect. Still, that changeling ought to have been more than 500 bits? I could have swore Em hadnt gotten paid for that.
>>
>>30669287
I kinda remember Joy leaving money for us after we woke up from the session with bug butt, but I'm not sure.
>>
>>30669305

checked archives, only 700 bits. what a gyp. oh well.
>>
>>30669340
It's well established that Joy is totally using us and not giving us anywhere near a fair share. There really isn't anything Emmy can do about it. Really the only thing that makes this any better than what his step family was doing to him is that he's happy. It's not as openly abusive but she's still seriously taking advantage of him.
>>
>>30669553
Isn't she giving us like half of what she gets though? I was never under the impression that she was only giving us like, 20% while she takes 80% or something. I could of swore that's more or less how much it was but, I'd have to double check if there was ever times where she said how much she was getting,(though she could just be lying through her teeth about it).

Let's not pretend Joy is a saint by any means, but given the fact that we live with her and she usually gives us things we want,(like the Knife of Subtlety as an example) and feeds Emerald, i'd say we have it pretty good. Could it be better? Sure, but I think it's been mostly fair. That's not even mentioning we're more or less her apprentice,(though she's been awful lazy about teach us anything lately).

Though, maybe i'm just seeing her actions through rose tinted glasses.
>>
>>30669627
No you're right anon she's splitting the profits 50/50 and given all she does for us I think she's coming out in the red overall. At first she probably wanted to profit off us but soon after she started to genuinely care for us. Hence when we got mad at her for getting in our way when we were going to get a BJ from Sensoria and told her off and that we might leave she seemed sad until we gave her a hug and asked her to give us some space.
>>
>>30669553
>>30669627

True, she's not terrible to us. It's not a completely userous relationship. the first time we got a smaller share because we owed her money, though, and I thought we had paid her back. I think Fic just kept giving us the same amount even after we paid Joy back. Again, I could be wrong. It just feels like we're shorter on funds than we should be.

Either way, still find the best gun slash gun parts and then work out payment later. Joy seems to think we can barter sex for the gun. Plus, Ruby will have a better idea of fair market for those sorts of activities.
>>
>>30669934
>and given all she does for us I think she's coming out in the red overall.
Yeah, that's why I've felt that we have been fairly compensated for what we do, for the most part. And I'd like to do more for her, eventually.

>>30669953
> and I thought we had paid her back.
Depends, she's done us enough favors now it's hard to say when it should be considered, sufficiently payed back. It doesn't help that how much money a client pays seems to fluctuate for reasons i'm not sure of,(the most apparent case of getting payed a different amount was the 4 some between the zeebs, but that makes sense why we got payed more for that session).

I assume we're going to offer him a sexual favor in exchange for a discount. Perhaps half off the price of the etherlock, his choice of sex act.

Totally planing to use his sex appeal so what would that be?
>>
>>30675858

I was suggesting using a int or charisma skill to see if we could lower the price. I'm sure we could bargain with the goat and lower the price without having to try to seduce him.

I was thinking of trying to bluff the goat. he wouldn't want to lose a customer if he thought we would try to buy a gun elsewhere.

>>30675858
I rather avoid trying to seduce the goat. Ruby is right there and what if this guy tries to cheat us?

I rather see if we can bargin down the price by other means.

say we'd spread the word of his quality if we could get it for a cheaper price. hey it's free advertising.

I was rooting for getting a bit sultry with him, perhaps that would use a mixture of INT and PER. Int for figuring how to best approach the subject tactfully, but Per. for saying what we think he'll want to hear based off how he reacts.

>>30675858
offer to do a errand or two for him or perhaps trade some stuff to pay the difference on the gun. Perhaps that would be a int roll? as part of the bargin.

>Ruby is right there
I imagine that's the point of going to the back to "negotiate" with him instead of the middle of the store. I think he'll get the hint.
>>
>>30675858

Well, I wanted to get the parts and then trade sex as a straight up barter. So let's concentrate on getting the best components at least, appeal to his pride as a craftsman and collector.

Emerald asks Ruby if he can barter with him in private.

"What? Why? Well, whatever... I didn't want to help anyway." Ruby says, sighing and walking out the door.

>Int Check, Boosted
>3,4,3,+4
>Total:14

Through a bit of haggling, Emerald manages to get the Goat to drop 70 bits off the price, however that still isn't enough.

During the negotiation Emerald got to take a look at the pistol. It isn't quite what he had in mind. It looks a bit older than the ones Joyride talked about, but he assure him that it'll work better than most of the newer models.

"Those uppity bucklings, thinking they can improve on perfection." The goat says with a sigh, throwing up his cloved hooves, "It's a damn shame."

"So whaddya gonna do now?" The goat says, pointing to the foal, "Got anything interesting in that backpack, or did you have something else in mind?"

What does Emerald do?

Yeah, trying to keep Ruby pure is hurting right now. We should have just let her know that we're hooking.

Emerald offers up the booty... Which the goat gladly takes.

First over the counter.

Then against the locked door.

And finally on a bed that he makes appear out of no where with a pull of a lever.

The whole process doesn't take very long, as the old goat seems to have a bit of a hair trigger. Ultimately it leaves Emerald a bit unsatisfied.

"Been a while since I broke these out." The goat says, reaching over the side of his bed and pulling out a large cigar, The name is Kordemsky, by the way."

What does Emerald do?

Emerald asks if that'll pay for it.

"Well I ain't letting that thing go for free. I'll give you half off, how does that sound?" The goat says.

Emerald asks if he can test fire the thing.

"If you had any shells, but like I said, I don't have any to sell you." Kordemsky says, "But I don't like the insinuation that I sell shoddy works. We goat aren't like you ponies. We actually take great value in our pride as craftsmen and merchants."

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>30681534
Sounds fair and our apologies. We did mean for our question to be taken as insult. Snuggle closer to the goat.

>>
>>30681534

Well we want to learn how it works more, for when we work on it. I thought it could fire if we put mana in it? I mean, it's probably less efficient right now than just shooting off a magic missile but it will teach us how the gun works.

Maybe he can thrown in some education, parts, and accessories? Bring Ruby back in for that, apologize for asking her to leave while we had sex with him.
>>
>>30681534
Apologize for accidentally insulting him. If there isn't anything else. I say we pay for the pistol and get to making some shells with Joy.

It's just too bad Kordemsky is bad at sex.

Emerald says he heard that they can fire magic directly.

"Sort of yeah, but that is more of a pony thing. I couldn't tell ya how to do it." the goat says with a shrug.

The colt asks how long he's been in business.

"Longer than you've been alive, and then some." Kordemsky says with a grin.

After paying half the amount Emerald walks out the door, sporting a new firearm. He thought he might need a license or at least an adult.

"So, how much did you get cheated out of you? Man, if there is one thing I can do it's haggle with merchants. Let me help next time!" Ruby says, frustrated, "Cool gun though."

we actually haven't seen her do much of the silver-tongued bargaining, but I'd be interested to see it at work, should she have the ability.

>>30682840
>>30682828
Meh, I just wanted to lewd with the goat, besides I doubt she would have shaved 50% off.
I think haggling with a goat over a 900 bit magical item might be a bit over her pay grade. I mean she did a good job with the potions I think this might be a different case.

Then again we don't even need a license to even have this gun so meh.
With booty and good haggling combined who knows we could have shaved it to 50 bits.
Anyway, yeah hiding what we like to do for a living from her is starting to get stupid.

and everyone who wanted to do more shopping around/haggling before offering sex. We didn't even learn if there was *any* other etherlock options at all, or even any accessories. We don't know how to maintain it, and we don't know if it's even customizable. Fic kinda rushed us through it. On top of that, we got screwed on price. Even assuming it was just like, a quickie and not Em's full rate, we still paid 450 in bits and 700 (1400 if you're including Joy's usual cut) in sex for a 900 bit pistol we *knew* was overpriced going in. Coulda used at least a strawpoll for haggle more vs lewd (no ruby).

Emerald says that he got a 50% discount. Can she do better than that?

"Fifty percent? Jeez, how did you do that?" Ruby says.

Emerald isn't sure he should say anything, so instead shows off the gun some more.

"Huh... Aren't guns supposed to have triggers? How does this thing even work?" Ruby says.

Emerald looks at the handle and she is indeed right. Emerald has read a little about the mechanism of guns, and if there isn't a hammer to strike the pin and ignite the bullet, how do Etherlocks work?

It is, just played with his hair style a bit gave him something out of the way more while he tinkers with his gun,(and he's sorta looks like he's biting Techrides style a bit, now that I think about it).

Try using the pistol as a focus and just let the energy go.

Anon you and I both know she's not going to be told when we reach the city and then the not for lewds crowd is going to reeee if sex is mentioned within 50 feet of her.

We shouldn't do that in the middle of the streets.
Let's wait until we get back to Joy's place and try it in the training room.

agreed. How much more do we have to hurt the characters for this.
>>
>>30685466
How is it hurting the character to shield her from the fact we are a prostitute and joyride is our pimp
>>
>>30685645

It's hurting Ruby's trust, Em's nobility, our pocketbooks, and the thread's lifespan having to argue this over and over and over again.
>>
>>30685677
I think Emerald would be a bit shy about saying something like that, and to be quite frank, it's not really of any of Ruby's business. Joy has stuff she doesn't tell us all the time, and as much as we'd like to know, we don't usually don't press it any further. Maybe we could tell Ruby it's nothing personal, but we'd rather not say what we're doing.
>>
>>30685789

Why would Em be shy about something he's done literally every day of his life? There's no reason for this prudishness, and certainly not for lying. We fricken *always* pry when Joy hides something and take her to task for it. It's hypocritical to treat Ruby the other way. And, frankly, it's dumb and it's hurting the party.

Ruby knows quite a bit.

Yet again I would like to point out that strawpoll is shit. Someone is clearly rigging it, and frankly I'd rather we didn't use it at all.

I can't wait to see which way the one singular asshole tips the scales and gets his way.

>>30685250
Considering I am part of the Ruby Is Not For Sexual crowd and I vote to tell her once our business here is said and done, you may want to rethink that. I don't like lying to her, however, I really don't want to just blurt it out to her right now. I'd like Anons to agree to tell her at a specific time, so we can let it percolate and decide how exactly we want to go about it.

>>30685677
>and the thread's lifespan having to argue this over and over and over again
It's obviously important to people and I'd never want to say stop discussing the quest in thread. I'd rather we argue then defer to a silent vote.

>It's hurting Ruby's trust
It is compromising Ruby's trust in us, and that's why I want to tell her, but in the near future, not now. The reason we tried to shield her from it in the first place is that we don't want to expose her to the same shit that's obviously done a number on Emerald, but at the same time we owe it to her to be straight with us. She's our best friend, and she's even fought alongside us. We can be straight with her and still protect her. We owe it to her. But fucking please, not right here and now.

Emerald kind of wants to head back now and learn how to make the shells for his new gun.

Out of the corner of his eye the colt sees Borba appear from around a corner. Trailing behind her is Joyride, and soon they reach them.

"Hey there lil' perv. Nice gun there. Didn't think you'd be the anachronistic type." Joyride says, looking down at the gun.

Emerald asks what she means, and she says, "This is a Domovoi Model Etherlock. It was one of the first models created."

"What, so that guy sold him an old useless relic?" Ruby says, frowning.

"Huh? Nah. The Domovoi Model is more than anything a weapon of war. It's sturdy, accurate, and fires magical ammo more efficiently than the newer models. It's also easier to fire pure magic energy out of this model." Joyride says with a grin, "But this model of gun was made when Etherlocks were super specialized. They weren't meant to fire regular ammo, as you can probably tell from the lack of a trigger."

What does Emerald do?
>>
>>30686176
Sounds good to me.
>>
>>30686176
>Didn't think you'd be the anachronistic type.
Well he did have a hardon for the older model, even went as far as saying that it was arrogant to try to improve on perfection.

I don't really care if it's an older gun, just as long as it works, it looks pretty sweet all the same, if not a bit bulky. Would you be willing to enchant a holster for this, with subtlety? You know, like our knife.

>They weren't meant to fire regular ammo, as you can probably tell from the lack of a trigger.
Is it like a focus or sorts? Is that how you get it to fire? Cause the lack of trigger on it did throw us for a loop at first. Have you ever really used one of these, Joy?
>>
>>30686176
This model sounds badass!
Can you show us how to make shells for it now also does it work just like a focus?

Try using the gun as a focus. Maybe then you can shoot something.

Not sure where you're getting this "most people" from. Even now the poll is an even split. At the point in time when it mattered, dishonesty was ahead and so that's our path forward. I'm in favor of honesty too but if we're not going to respect the result then this whole idea of working together on this quest is screwed. We lost this battle, let it go so we can continue our adventure.

Not really, some part of the "no" was "wait until we meet up with joyride." We've now met back up with joyride.

Ether-mosin when?

>>30686176
Could the "no" guy and the people trying to get Emerald to tell Ruby he fucked the goat just leave. Ruby is the only thing keeping this quest going at this point. She's the only thing stopping Emerald from being a shit character.
Emerald is a prostitute, and an expensive one. Sometimes there'll be a really attractive and nice character, Bo, Sushi, and sleeping with them is great. But now he's acting like a cheap whore, sleeping with anything for any amount. This is Emerald at his lowest point here. Ruby being upset wasnt because we were dishonest, it was because Emerald is a slut and cant keep his dick at bay anymore.

This should be kept a shameful secret. Ruby needs to stay around and get in the way and ruin Emerald's plans. She's the only one that can stop Emerald's descent into losing all sense of character. Keeping this secret is the healthiest thing we can do right now.
>>
>>30690424

Em turned a bad trick because Ruby got instantly kicked out in the middle of Em shopping. Something that was so sudden and ill written that the majority of players thought it was a joke post. Keeping Em's life a "shameful secret" didn't prevent that. It enabled it. Now we can't course correct.
>>
>>30686176
Ask how it's meant to be fired since it has no trigger.
>>
>>30690424
Yeah, no, it's not like that. Being a whore or not doesn't make a better character,,its his development and realism. Do you really think of emerald as the kind of guy who can lie forever to a friend?
>>
>>30690475
>>30690528
So. We tell Ruby in the hopes that next time Em asks her to leave, she can say "No"? That actually does sound better. Right now she is just a hurdle to jump over. Telling her could make her an actual wall to Emerald's shit behaviour. Sad he needs someone to do this, and that protecting them wasn't enough of a reason for him. You guys have changed my vote.
>>
>>30690528
This is the same goody two-hooves who gave a letter to the order while consorting with their public enemy number one and a pyrodaemon to help an enemy who tried to put him back in the hands of his step parents. There's no way he wouldn't feel guilty about lying to a friend.

Doing a sexual favor for a discount isn't something I'd call bad or evil. All we did was having some unsatisfactory sex it's and now you're blowing it out of proportion, as if some bad sex is the next step to selling killing on the street.

Its just another way to go about something, hell ruby might have suggested that if we really needed it but didn't have the cash for it to just steal it. Pretty sure that's worse than getting laid.

And unlike you I wouldn't call her bad for it. It's just one other way to get to a goal.

Literally for what purpose? How is making posts in a thread a bad thing?

>>
>>30690424
You're being way melodramatic but I do agree that Ruby does help keep Emerald from descending into more corruption, her being a foible to Emerald's usual status quo makes him more likable as a character. It's half of why I don't want to lewd the filly.

I DO want to be more open with her, though. She's risked her life for us and probably will again. And if she's willing to do that for us, she should better know who she's risking it for. Any less isn't fair to our friend.

>>
>>30691275
> but I do agree that Ruby does help keep Emerald from descending into more corruption
You know, WE as the players have been the driving force for him choosing to sleep with someone or not,(as far as I can tell). Yes Ruby being there has helped sway some decisions towards going a less lewd route, but I like to think that we've been fairly moderate with choosing who he sleeps with. Why is the fact that Emerald whores himself out on the occasion all the sudden become a problem, do people actually think less of him for sleeping with people for money or anything else?

What is even "corruption" in this case? Actually, why the fuck should we give two shits about being "corrupt" when sleeping with people and having harmless fun makes you "corrupt" I honestly find such an arbitrary system for determining one's purity to be stupid bullshit anyways, if that's something that sways it. If we can do some selfless things too, and still be corrupt for it, than so be it.

>I DO want to be more open with her, though. She's risked her life for us and probably will again
Right, but having some secrets is something we should be able to have too. I just don't see why some people want to tell her so badly. I'm not going to lose my mind if we tell her, but it just seems like something we don't really need to say.
>>
>>30692080

It's not the sleeping around. Breaking trust, getting ripped off, isolating Em from his support group is why people are freaking out. Lewd is almost irrelevant to Em's noble self, except as seeing lewd as a good thing to do for those you care about.

I feel like harmless fun and selflessness as "corrupt" is bullshit too. More than that, it doesn't make any sense for Em to have these mores that are getting pushed. He sure as hell wasn't raised that way. No one he loves and respects behaves that way. No one who he might consider family acts that way. His lost mother sure didn't act that way- she walked around in frikken fetish gear all the time. It's jarring. Not that I'm saying stick his dick in everything just because. But for work, love, family, and friendship? absolutely.

When you think about Em's moral compass, keeping secrets is way worse than sleeping around. Em's been consistently against hiding things. He never accepted it from Joy, he never did it to Hope. It was never a thought for any ally except Ruby.

Emerald asks if the gun can be used as a focus, and asks if that's how you get it to fire.

"Nah, but it's similar. You run a little ether into the firing chamber and it'll shoot a shell. For doing your own magical energy you sorta do like... How to describe this... You sort of make a reverse shield around some ether and force it out the barrel."

"Neat!" Ruby says, holding out her hooves. Emerald let's her hold the gun and then continues, "Can I try it once we get some ammo? Can you show him how to shoot it here?"

"Nah, generally not a good idea to shoot guns in an open area in the middle of a city." Joyride says nodding, "I'll show you when we get back. Anything else you guys want to do?"

She was already stingy about letting us repair her knife, let alone giving her a new one.

Emerald says he kind of wanted to get a new disguise because he fells that maybe his last one may have been comprimised, but he's a bit low on funds.

"What, how much you got left?" Joyride says as Emerald holds his money bag up to her, "That's plenty right there! Look, follow me."

She then drags the colt over to another store, which turns out to contain clothing. Though it's meant for goats, Emerald manages to find two pairs of clothes that seem to fit him. He checks the pricetag, and each is roughly 60bits.

What does Emerald do?

Left and ponytail.

I'd like to cut it back to it's original at least for a time. It's been a while and I like long haired Emmy but let's change it up.
>>
>>30697726
A ponytail wouldn't suit emerald very well maybe we should wait until after the raid to make any haircut decisions
>>
>>30696728

The left one is better... but what about sexy cloths?
>>
I'm afraid to change Em's mane because what if we never go back to the one we have now? Feels bad
>>
>>30697824
It doesn't seem like a super good idea to change it back to a style that will resemble something on his wanted poster.
>>
>>30696728
The outfit on the left looks a bit more practical, but the outfit on the right just looks fucking adorable.

But i'll be honest and say i'm not really digging the goat sense of fashion.
>>
>>30696728
Left one and maybe a goat style mane cut.

I would like o see Emerald with a shorter hairstyle this time in any case but like that other anon said we should probably switch disguises after the robbery.

Oh that first one is neat,(his og style is nice too) but I can't pass up the chance to rip off Ruby's hair style for a bit.

We wouldn't actually be changing it right now, would we Fic?
>>
>>30699417
What's the point? Fic will just forget the new hairstyle after two updates.
(Shots fired! Shots fired! Evacuate the thread!)

>>30699471
We can do the "we are like sisters" bit
>>
>>30699489
That could even work as a bluff some time, but I mostly want to see what Ruby thinks of it, I find the idea of her being a bit baffled, amusing.
>>
>>30699510
I don't think Emerald can pull off that punk hairdo like Woob.
>>
>>30699532
Not as well as Woobs, but I still think it looks ok. I'd only want it to be something we played with for a little while anyways.

Poor Woobs doesn't think she's that cute, but I beg to differ.
>>
>>30699417
The first one gives us that sushi-like vibe
>>
suck my peeenus weeenus
>>
>>30699417
Three or four would be best, though two looks cute as well.

As for Emerald's.. 'fun'.. if he wasn't quite satisfied, would he perhaps be.. frustrated?

the current vote so far. please vote if you haven't yet.

>>30699417
>>30702680
>>30702452

you guys are aware that logically 2 would be the riskyiest choice given that's close to the manestyle emerald is sporting in the wanted posters.
>>
>>30702792
Almost guaranteed that's exactly why people are voting for it.
>>
>>30702792
>>30702802

You're overthinking it a bit people just like #2. Personally I like #1 and hope somewhere down the line we can try it out since it's unique and cool looking.
