Escy heads out, leading everypony to the tavern The Iron Shoe. There will be plenty of room for everypony to meet up and branch off, whatever they want to do in the large tavern. And since they're already within viewing distance of the tavern, it doesn't take very long to reach it at all.

---

Escy talks to the barkeep, explaining the situation with her friends, and about the previous events of the day. The barkeep thanks her for handling the situation with the wolves, and for bringing in a lot of potential business. She offers to let them all stay the night for free, since she's usually bored during the day and all of the cleanup would be a good way to pass her time. She lays out keys one through ten on the bar for the group to grab when they needed to.

---

Zappy now has his own bedroom upstairs at the tavern, so he can take his bath! (One of the two rooms that have baths as opposed to showers.)

---

There's an area behind the tavern that's perfect for the larger members of the group to play in, danger free!

---

The night's drinks are free, so raise your glasses everypony!

(I added a quick map of the tavern, you can check it in my original post. Sorry if the move seemed very sudden, but I'm currently making a chart of everbody here, and this makes it mentally easier for me.)

Escy nods at the pony named Diesel. She steps outside with them. She turns to look inside her home. "I'm leading these ponies to the tavern, would you guys like to join us?" She asks, making a motion for Gael to follow her. Gael does as she's told and give Miracle a hug before moving over to Zappy, doing the same to him, and moving over to her mother.

Thinking about it, they don't really have the option of staying, since it's her home and she wouldn't be there. It's still nice to offer, though!

Pride lies on his back with Kito on top of him and he continues to wrestle, not having anyone to play so roughly with in the past. He's already made a great new friend!

"And Zappy," Escy adds, "I'll talk to the barkeep about letting you use one of the rooms showers. They never have more than one or two rented out, and they have about ten."

"Well, I would invite you all in, but I'm not sure my house can hold anyone else. Maybe I should show you all to the tavern? I'm sure the barkeep would love to have more visitors, she's a tad lonely sometimes." Escy offers, Gael standing and moving over to join her, Kito passing her as she went.

Pride moves over to Kito, still intrigued by the dog. He's never met another animal his size. He shapes Kito up as a possible play partner.

(Can you all send me a picture reference of your characters and the names that go with them? I need to organize the characters in the roleplay or my head will explode. OCD, what can you do? Hope it's not too big of a bother!

Escy smiles a little awkwardly at the nameless pony, and then at Rad. "I did adopt her, yes. I've never been with another pony, even relationship wise. I've never met anypony right. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to answer the door." Escy walks over to the door, opening it the rest of the way, revealing a large dog and at least three other ponies outside. "Ah, hello."

Pride gives the dog a strange look and then leans forward to sniff him, neverminding the potential consequences.

---

My, oh my. It seems our little town is overflowing these days.

Gael sits by Miracle, blinking and watching the door.

"You do have a name... don't you?" Escy asked, adding to Rad's question, a little concerned at the other ponies expression. He seems... lost, somehow.

---

"Hehe, you're adorable mishter holey pony!" Gael says excitedly, scooting closer to Zappy. She doesn't break eye contact as she answers Miracle. "I don't go to shchool anymore. There ishn't a shchool here in Trotshtram, but Mommy teachesh me."

Gael raises her hooves to assault Zappy with tickles again, but as she goes to strike, Pride quickly moves to the door, responding to some barking with a soft growl.

Escy smiles as the pony takes a seat, onlly giving a moment to notice his bags as they hit the floor. "So, what's your name?" she asks, smiling curiously.

---

Gael keeps poking at Zappy, a smile coming across her face from seeing him laugh. She turns to Miracle and talks as best as she can. "Mommy shaysh I have a shpeech impe... impedimama... Yesh. Yesh I do talk funny."

Pride's ear pricks up for a moment, and his purring skips a beat. He smells a dog, but it doesn't bother him much since he's used to playing the diamond dog in town, Ruby. Still, it could be a problem~

"Well, lets change that. Come over and sit with us!" Escy says, motioning for their newest friend to come over and have a seat with her and Rad.

---

"Hi, my name ish Gael" Gael says with a smile on her face. Her speech impediment is obvious as she talks, but her voice is soft and sweet. "I don't meet many other ponysh here."

Pride licks Zappy and continues to purr. Gael cocks her head to the side, finding herself absently playing with one of the holes on Zappy's legs. "Why do you have holesh?"

Pride immediately hopped over to Miracle. He has a very good judgement of character. Gael watched Pride and Miracle, assuming that anybody Pride was comfortable with, she could be comfortable with. She hops down, shyly moving over to the other young pony. Pride brushes against Miracle, letting out a soft, low purr, brushing against the changeling next, making no distinction between the two of them.

Gael looks up to see Rad, and she quickly hides herself, cuddling against Pride who is now laying among the entire group, a natural whore for attention.

"Well, it seems like everypony is getting along." Escy smiles, then looks over to the strange pony they met. He seems to be... distant. She nudges Rad, motioning in his direction.

"You think he's lonely?"

"I don't think he's ever met a changeling. I doubt he'll misbehave, though, we raised him well." Escy says confidently, her hoof on the door. She pushes it open and finds her daughter sitting on the couch, Pride lying down beside her on it. Gael's ears prick up and her face lights up in a smile. She hops off the couch, Pride sitting up a bit and watching her. Explicit leans down and lets Gael crawl onto her back. She trots into her home, relaxing by the couch. Pride immediately notices there are new people around, and he rolls off of the couch with a thud as he lands on his feet, waiting for his new potential friends to enter.

"Oh, do you, Rad? And a wife, too?" Escy asks, simply curious. Or so she tells herself

"And yes, Miracle, she's a unicorn. She's a lot better with magic than I am. She can already levitate heavier things. She's always trying to levitate Pride. He's a bit much, though."

Escy leads the group to her home. It's a quaint place, on the western end of Trotstram. It's very well taken care of, and a little more prettied up than the other homes. Escy stops in front of the door, giving a final warning. "Pride is our leocorn. He's about three years old, and he's fully grown. I'll tell you all about leocorns if you want, but I just want you to know that he's very big (About the size of a fully grown lion), and very playful."

"Well, Gael is her nickname. Her full name is Gaelic Karkadann. She's. . . adopted. Telling her was very difficult. I thought my heart would break." she takes a moment, and then continues, "But, it was all very worth it in the end. She's wonderful, and very sweet."

"Well, from what I understand, being a pony myself, thirty-two is... rather old. I don't mind, though. I consider it wisdom. Would you believe my mane used to have a  blue tint? Lost its color some time ago." she says with a smile, turning to the group, specifically Rad.

"Are we all ready to continue, new friend in tow?" she walked ahead a little to where Zappy and Miracle were. "You two are going to love Gael!"

Escy lets out a full blown laugh now. "No, I'm thirty-two."

Explicit chuckles a little. "Yes, dear, I do have a daughter. And a tavern is a place you can go to rest. You rent a room and they let you stay for the night." She puts her hoof to her chin and then smiles again, "Out of curiosity, how old do you think I am?"

"Would you like to come with us? I promise, we're all nice ponies. At least, from what I can tell. Zappy's included in the bunch!" she gives Zappy a quick smile. She's been quickly warming up to him, though his fears are somewhat bothersome to her. She has a subliminal itching desire to coddle anything that adorable. Call it her mother's instincts.

"I need to get back home to make sure my daughter is alright, and I hope you all wouldn't be too bothered to join me. It's not every day we make friends, especially ones her age. She usually has to settle with our pet leocorn." she says, speaking to the group. "Or, we could all just meet up back at the tavern?"

Escy stops for a moment and thinks. "You know, I haven't really thought about it before now. A changeling, a seemingly always happy filly, a parkour pegasus with a moustache, and an erotica writer." she looks at the ground for a few moments, then back up and shrugs a little. "I've seen worse."

297

"I, erm..." Escy blushes slightly, as she does when explaining her talent to those who will understand, "I write erotica." with an awkward smile, she looks over at the new pony, giving him a welcoming look.

"Oh, hey there! I thought I'd heard someone." Escy says with a smile, completely relaxed now that they've exited the forest back into the edge of town.

Explicit watches as Miracle gleefully hops over to Zappy, as if the event they'd all just been through was just a dream.

Just a dream. . .

"What did you want to talk about, Rad?" Explicit asks, unaware of what to expect having just met the pegasus.

The timber wolf stares at the changeling, his eyes probing. He sees truth in Zappy's eyes, and accepts his explanation. He quickly moves back into his wolf form and howls. Suddenly, all throughout the forest, the sounds of battle cease.

That's it? Just like that? It's really that easy to stop a war between wolves? The timber wolf before them would have to be their pack leader to have obeyed as such. Such a strange way the creatures of the forests work in.

"Will you let us pass?" Explicit asks, her heart beating heavily from the danger and excitement they're in.

The timber wolf stares at the gray pony, then stands once more. "Yes. I'm appreciative that I ran into you when I did. Fighting is senseless when there's no reason to do so. Many may have been injured. But our problems are our own, you may leave. "

Escy breathed a sigh of relief, but just as the timber wolf began to leave them, she shouted to him. "What's your name?"

The timber wolf turned and growled quickly in response, then said in a very low tone, "Willow." as he continued on his way, most likely to his den.

Explicit put her hoof to her forehead. "I need to stay home more often." she says as she pulls her book and quill out, making several notes as she leads the group the rest of the way out of the forest.

(Sorry that seemed to end so quickly, but we'll probably be meeting him again. I feel as though I've taken control over the roleplay for a page or two, it's time to have you all guide for a bit I will follow~)

Escy nods to the others, and quickly heads back through the abandoned house to leave through the front door. Just as she begins to lead the group back through the forest, signs of fighting begin to follow them. They just barely escaped the fight between the two packs. Or so she thought.

The group runs across a timber wolf and thunder wolf fighting. Timber wolves are common creatures in the forest, but their thunder wolf counterpart are much more rare. They look like a regular wolf, except their fur spikes back, and their eyes are blue balls of energy. As the thunder wolf strikes, the sound of thunder can be heard. The sound of thunder, in fact, can be heard all throughout the forest now.

The timber wolf strikes back, its face clawed and slightly burned, and it manages to cause the thunder wolf to retreat. The timber wolf watches it flee, then its body, made of wood, begins to slowly reform and it stands on its hind legs. It turns to the group, its wound slowly beginning to heal itself. It speaks.

"Who are you, and why do you trespass upon the Timber Wood?" it speaks, revealing a gravely, male voice.

Explicit looks at the group and then back to the timber wolf. First she meets a changeling, then she meets a talking timber wolf. She's really not even surprised anymore. She responds hesitantly. "We were looking for the source of a loud boom. We thought that it might have been a thunder wolf, but we were wrong. It wa-"

Explicit was cut off by the timber wolf, who growled low and quickly responded. "If it was not a thunder wolf, then what? No other creatures makes noises such as that? I'd be content with leaving you for dead if the thunder wolves didn't deny it themselves."

(Big post, big conflict, a few things posted beneath the map to explain what certain locations are, a character page for Explicit added. I'm putting lots of time into this roleplay for some reason. It must be the members~)
