Making new friends [Closed]

[Kunnia]

Timeline: Some days after the second OGI meeting.

Kunnia pondered how she could join the rebels in Manehatten. She couldn’t just ask some strangers, if she could join the rebels. They wouldn’t answer or they'd inform the griffons. She needed a better plan. On her journey to Manehatten she often played in pubs and inns and made a lot of new friends. Why shouldn’t this work here as well?
Grayscale told her about a pub in the eastern Residential District where griffons aren’t allowed.
“It’s the perfect place to play some of my songs and maybe I'll find some rebels”, she thinks as she enters the empty bar.
“Hello? Somepony here?”

[Maya Blackwing]

Maya appeard behind the bar after she cleaned some dusty bottles under the counter.
When she saw the young blonde pony she asked: "Aren´t you a little young to drink?"

[Kunnia]

She chuckles a bit. "I'm here to play music and not to drink", she says "and you would be suprised how much booze I can drink." Many of her new friends bought her drinks to thank her for her songs.
"Soo, could a young musican play some songs here?", she asks the barkeeper still with a little smile on her face.

[Maya Blackwing]

"Well, free live acts are welcome at anytime." Maya said to the young mare. She knew that live acts will atract more guests and she can make more money.
Hah, a young mare like her and can cope much booze. I don't think so. Maybe I should test her and challenge her to a drinking contest later.

[Kunnia]

"Thank you." Kunnia's smile even gets bigger as she sits on a bank and takes her instrument. It makes her always happy, if she can play with her accordion, because it reminds at home and her family. Her mother taught her how to play the accordion and together they played some old folk songs.
She always starts with some old folk songs when she plays in a bar to honor her family and as a warm-up before the guests come.
She starts to play.

[Quicksilver]

Quicksilver flew slowly through a street, with nothing but a pouch of bits on him, searching for a place to eat. 'Gonna need to find some more bits soon. Food first, though,' he thought.
His eyes were drawn to a sign for the Steelhoof Bar, which he approached from the ground after landing. 'That wasn't there before. Great, a bar means food.' He frowned and added to his thoughts, 'Bars also attract griffons. Everything likes booze, after all.' He was about to move on when the rest of the sign made itself apparent to him: 'No griffons after all?' With the briefest of smiles, he entered the establishment to see only two other ponies.
Quicksilver took a spot at the bar, leaving his pouch on the surface.

[Kunnia]

Kunnia smiles at the gray stallion, who just entered the bar.
"Hello, Sir. Take a seat and enjoy the music. Do you have any whishes what I should play?You can say a mood or a theme and I'll try to play it."
It's always fun for her to do a improvisation,because she likes to try new stuff and to be creativ.

[Quicksilver]

Quicksilver turns to face the mare, thinking about the offer. 'Music's good for emotions, and I think I've spent too long angry... at least try it.' Out loud, he suggested, "Can you play something relaxing? Just calmer, relaxing, I might need it."
'This should be interesting. I already like this place: No griffons, free music, alcohol. Glorious.' Once more, a small, fairly brief smile showed on his face, though to any observers it would appear insignificant, he knew. Turning to the bar again, he emptied his pouch and ordered a beer and any available food, before looking back to the musician.

[Kunnia]

"As you wish,Sir. Just give me a second."
Something calm, that won't be that difficult
After a short break she starts to play again.
She learned this song several months ago on her trip down to Manehatten. One of her new friends taught her this song. Even it is a slow and sad song, she still smiles, while she plays it.
"Are you from here, Sir?" she asks the stallion and doesn't break eye contact while she plays. It's a rather easy song, so she doesn't really need to concentrate on it.

[Quicksilver]

Quicksilver shook his head. "Wasn't born here, though I've been here for a while now. I guess you could say that. And you?"
'Music's helping, at least a little bit,' the Pegasus noted silently.

[Kunnia]

"Well, I was born in the far north of Equestria and left my home after I turned 16. My journey last for 6 months and on my trip down here I made a lot of friends. It was a good time. Now I'm working on a farm and play accordion to raise some money. Bye the way I'm Kunnia." She makes a little curtsey with her upperbody.
She stops the music as she grabs into her saddlebag and takes out some bits.
"Could you buy me a beer?" she asks the stallion and throws the bits in his direction.
After that she starts to play again.

[Quicksilver]

Quicksilver nods. He silently thinks 'I can't tell her my real name. Odds are that won't end well if I get caught with something; I don't know her, I can't trust her.'
"My name is Murk," he said easily, using his common pseudonym. "I just go around the city, doing odd jobs to earn money." 'Easiest lies are based on truth. Just don't mention the odd jobs are thefts.'
Quicksilver used the bits offered to buy a second drink, which he passed over in Kunnia's direction.

[Kunnia]

Kunnia grabs the beer and cheers to the stallion.
"Nice to meet you Murk."
She takes a sip from the beer. After that she smirks and scrabbles in her saddlebag. She takes her beer and a card game and takes a seat beside "Murk".
With a smirk on her face she asks:"Do you like games, Murk?"

[Quicksilver]

Quicksilver shrugs and frowns slightly. "I'm not one for games. I don't get any fun out of it; the most I get out of it is money from bets. Or drunk."

[Kunnia]

"Well, how about a little game just for fun, Murk? It's a pretty simple game, maybe you already know it. In our region we call it Mau Mau."
She still smiles at "Murk" as she takes another sip and shuffles the cards.

[Quicksilver]

Quicksilver nodded. "Fine with me, I think I know that one. I'll let you start when you're ready."
The pegasus took a long drink of his own beer, and waited for Kunnia to begin.

[Kunnia]

She takes another sip from the beer and puts the empty bottle on the bar.
"Sooo, do you meet somepony here or do you just want to enjoy the atmosphere?" Kunnia asks as she deals the cards.

[Quicksilver]

"Neither. I just needed some food and drink, and I saw the bar. Almost went right past it, though. How about you? You work here playing music?"
