--COUGH COUGH THIS IS DUMB AND DOESN'T FIT THE TONE OF THE STORY AT ALL COUGH COUGH--
-
10.
>the apothecary is a rather full-rumped zebra, short but squat
-
11.
>you look over your shoulder at her
-
12.
>you can see her mane, pointed straight up, behind a crudely painted wooden mask
-
13.
>she just stares expectantly, seemingly taking no notice of your bare ass or the fact that you're mid-rut with the ruler of the land suspended in chains
-
14.
>either she took lessons from Octavia in the ways of stoicism
-
15.
>or she's just this used to the madness that is Canterlot Castle
-
16.
>you turn around with a cough and beckon her over
-
17.
"Zecora. Thank you for coming, I have need of your knowledge. Do you have any potions that deal with matters of... love?"
-
18.
>she nods, seeming to understand
-
19.
>with a flourish she pulls out a huge array of bottles and tubes, bowls and plates from her saddle pack, laying them all at your feet
-
20.
>"This herb can be taken with your meal; it turns your stallionhood to steel. If instead duration you lack, on this hydra heart you snack."
-
21.
>this sounds like a sales pitch, and you wave your hands to try to stop her
-
22.
>you really did mean love, not sex aids
-
23.
>but apparently she's so practiced (or so enthralled with the subject) that she doesn't even notice
-
24.
>"this powder spurs a powerful need for mares to sup upon your seed. If teats of bounty you desire, use milkweed root and phoenix fire."
-
25.
>this seems like it's going to go on a bit
-
26.
>"To conjure rut is this salve's goal, works on stallion, mare or foal (but in four hours, if still you yearn, perhaps to me you should return)"
-
27.
>...
-
28.
>it's like a lewd Dr. Seuss
-
29.
>"sensitivity, texture, size; capacity or completion's prize. Filly-foolers, colt-on-colt, none can argue with results. Whether rider or the steed, I'm sure I can fulfill your need."
-
30.
>she stops and takes off her mask, scratching her chin with a hoof
-
31.
>"Or if instead you need a mate, I know of mares for a decent rate. Or stallions (I am judgement-free)! Er... why was it that you summoned me?"
-
32.
>she gives you an embarrassed grin
-
33.
>you shake your head, exasperated
-
34.
--THUS ENDS THE ZEBRA RIDICULOUSNESS--
-

36.
"That's... huh. While not what I asked, that is interesting."
-
37.
>you'll keep the one that induces lactation in mind for if Celestia starts feeling motherly again
-
38.
>but back to your original point
-
39.
"I asked if you had any potions that dealt with love. Not lust."
-
40.
>she stares for a moment at the ceiling, then opens up a small pocket on one side of her bags
-
41.
>she passes you three vials of liquid
-
42.
>two glass and shaped like a heart, one filled with red liquid, the other with gold
-
43.
>the last made of pewter and ringed at the neck with a black vine covered in thorns
-
44.
>she points to the first, the amber liquid
-
45.
>"The first is called Felicity. It makes you a lover of all you see. Even in this eternal night, with Felicity, your day is bright."
-
46.
>she nods at the next, the rose-colored glass
-
47.
>"Cadenza's Tincture is on the right. It fosters love upon first sight. Use utmost caution; few can bend, that potion's outcomes to their end."
-
48.
>she doesn't bother pointing to or even looking at the last of the three
-
49.
>the light airiness of her voice is replaced with gravitas
-
50.
>"Those two I charge for; this, I do not. I'd rather it should be forgot. Heartbreak and sadness in equal parts, it freezes passion, hardens hearts. Its cruel effects you cannot rewind. Beware the sorrow of Potion Nine."
-
51.
>you remark on how small they are
-
52.
>watered down, they may last you the week
-
53.
>you'll probably need to request more when she has the opportunity
-
54.
>she shakes her head, chuckling at you in her strange accent
-
55.
>"I see that you are quite astute. But all these potions you must dilute. In water they all work quite well, though alcohol can strengthen their spell."
-
56.
>she begins to pack up her collection of containers
-
57.
>you cough pointedly and reach down for the hydra's heart
-
58.
>she offers you a coy smile in return, but doesn't stop you
-
59.
"These will do nicely, Zecora. You have both the Empire's thanks and mine."
-
60.
>you sign a release for the funds and hand it to her before she turns for the door
-
61.
>"Though I find the process crude..."
-
62.
>she remarks just before she shuts the door on you
-
63.
>"Congratulations on that brood."
-
64.
>...well THAT was cryptic
-
65.
>no no, you'll stand for a bit of oddity, but anyone would notice that tone of voice
-
66.
>it's the 'I'm-telling-you-so-so-later-I-can-say-I-told-you-so' voice
-
67.
>you look over at Chrysalis Moon
-
68.
>she's glowering at the door the zebra just closed
-
69.
>that pretty much seals it
-
70.
"For the sake of your gag reflex, you'd best hope this isn't a problem you caused."
-
71.
>you jog to catch up with the mare
-
72.
>she's halfway down the cell block when you manage to stop her
-
73.
>turning around with the mask down again, she regards you passively
-
74.
>"That hydra's heart should last you days; if you used it all, I would be amazed."
-
75.
>ha-ha-fuckin'-ha
-
76.
"What did you mean about my brood? What brood?"
-
77.
>she turns her head so that the mask points from you to the only occupied cell
-
78.
>Diggin Bones is sitting there, looking like he'd welcome death as a change of pace
-
79.
>now that he's not doubled over, you can see that his stomach is bulging with lumps
-
80.
>unless he's taken to eating stones instead of prison rations, that wasn't his doing
-
81.
>he rubs both hooves at what gut he can reach and moans
-
82.
>the guards just roll their eyes and smack a weapon against the bars
-
83.
>"Quiet down, dissident."
-
84.
>Zecora lets out her odd melodious chuckle
-
85.
>"He must have enjoyed getting filled, if of course he had free will."
-
86.
>she looks back up at you
-
87.
>the mask rotates as she tilts her head
-
88.
>"Are you surprised to learn his plight? T'was you who gave it to him, right?"
-
89.
>you look back at him and he lets out a resigned sniffle
-
90.
"No. Well, I mean, yeah. But I thought she'd just... feed... not... huh."
-
91.
>you don't know how changelings breed
-
92.
>killing him might actually be a minor mercy at this point
-
93.
"Are they going to go all Alien on him?"
-
94.
>you realize that's a bit outside of her frame of reference
-
95.
>let's rephrase
-
96.
"Do they... eat him? And how did you know she was a changeling?"
-
97.
>"Changeling chitin is a must, for crafting my Illusion Dust."
-
98.
>she seems to be appraising Diggin's condition
-
99.
>"An uncomfortable birth is all that entails, so long as the clutch is only males,"
-
100.
>she explains
-
101.
>"but a future Queen must get her start, by feasting on another's heart."
-
102.
>future queen?
-
103.
>that sounds like leverage
-
104.
>so either you get a hostage and a condemned pone dies a painful death
-
105.
>or you get a litter of future soldiers and have to find him a spot in the guillotine line
-
106.
>...
-
107.
>you can't bring yourself to actively hope that a newborn child chews through a grown pony's chest
-
108.
>but you can totally reflect on how convenient it would be
-
109.
"Zecora, I'd like a few more moments of your time."
-
110.
>she whickers and shakes her head
-
111.
>"Alas, your Queen has called me too, demanding many a sundry brew. Would this evening be ideal, perhaps over a hearty meal?"
-
112.
>eh, you work fast, but you doubt you'll need to know every detail about these bug-ponies before sunset
-
113.
>you nod, scratching your head
-
114.
>"Very well, it is a date. Come at 7, do not be late."
-
115.
>she strides for the stairwell
-
116.
>no matter the circumstances, Boss Mare doesn't like tardiness
-
117.
>she has enough time to flick her tail up as she looks back at you though
-
118.
>wait
-
119.
>did you just get hit on?
-
120.
>fuck, today is weird
-
121.
>no, actually, it's probably just that particular zebra is weird
