The guard wonders if Joyride has been kidnapped, and after looking through Joyride's things and taken a few potions, they go to the guard station and get some sleep.
Emerald wakes up to find a letter he sent the day before brought Nishan and Loupe to them.
They go to the hospital and speak with the cook of the Millet Cafe, who's wife was probably captured by the same group of kidnappers.
The party goes to the Red Stripe Bar
Loupe is sent in to try and attract the kidnappers.
Loupe leaves the bar and is followed by some ruffians.
Nishan, Emerald, and Ruby converge on Loupe, but she has already handled things by the time they get there by freezing them in place with some sort of foam bomb.
The group interrogates the kidnappers, and finds out where they took Joyride and the other ponies.
The party stakes out the hideout, and eventually breaks in by distracting the only guard there.
Once inside, the group finds what appears to be a fight going on between the kidnapper zebras and what the others assume is Joyride and the other ponies.
Emerald and Co. take on the zebra slavers.
They are taken out, but a giant gas cloud overtakes the area during the fight, knocking out nearly everyone and covering Dejen's escape.
After finding a gas mask, Emerald rescues Ruby and Nishan, and then gets the attention of Bunsen.
Joyride is found, and then promptly passes out after seeing the coast is clear.
A ledger containing possible evidence is found.
Bunsen, the kidnapped ponies, and Emerald's party all leave for the Marjani Temple for safety.
Emerald decodes the ledger, implicating a powerful zebra diplomat's son.
Joyride awakes, and Emerald decides to follow her as she goes to Nishan and Loupe's place to get the honey from the Jungle Wasps.
They stop at a coffee shop, and Joyride says she is going to get a present for a pony.
Emerald and company meet up with Nishan and Loupe, and have a small argument about something Joyride took, though it was never mentioned what exactly it was.
The trio stop by an alchemy stop on their way back to the hospital and buy lot's of supplies.
They meet up with Sugar Cane and her husband, and say their goodbyes.
They return to Whitherwater with some sort of teleportation spell.
Emerald and Ruby go to the library to read, and then to go grab some food. They find some feathers on leaving and returning.
The feathers belong to Joyride's friend Vee, who they speak with for a while.
Emerald is given a lantern, and Joyride some alcohol.
Emerald and Ruby return to Emerald's flat and decide to sleep.
Emerald coaxes Ruby into telling a story about her past.
Ruby and her roommates have dinner, and then Ruby goes to sleep.
Rat and Ruby go to fence their goods, and get a good 2k bits for their trouble.
Rat goes off with his share and leaves Ruby behind, telling her that her share is in the gem she put in her earring.
Ruby goes and does some pickpocketing, and then buys ingredients for a soup which she makes.
She then goes to the warehouses by the docks and sees Sleepy those doesn't interact with him.
Instead she goes and steals some medicine from the warehouses.
She then returns "home" to find Barber. After a short conversation Sleepy returns, and it seems Rat is nowhere to be found.
Sleepy goes to track down Rat.
Ruby decides to go dumpster diving, and after returning finds that none of her roommates are home.
After a brief stop at the Hotel that Barber works at Ruby returns home to find guards stationed outside her apartment building.
Ruby sneaks in through a window and hides in an abandoned apartment for the night.
The next day Ruby goes up to her apartment and finds her roommates there, but Rat rather aggressively berates and attacks her, taking the gem from her earring in the process. This is ultimately what causes Ruby to leave her roommates behind.
Emerald and Ruby decide to go to find Rat in the present day.
Pip manages to tag along.
They get to the apartment where they come to learn that Guards employed by Papillion may have taken the gem, and that Rat delivered the gem to warehouse 52 on the docks.
Emerald, Ruby and Pip infiltrate warehouse 52.
They get onto the roof and Emerald entrusts Pip to carry him into the warehouse using the vent on the roof.
Pip deliberately drops Emerald, triggering a magical silent alarm.
The trio do not find the gem, but they do find a filing cabinet containing folders about important ponies.
They take what they can carry and escape outside before the guards come, much to Pip's dismay.
They wait for the guards to come out and attempt to follow one of them to their headquarters, but give up on it after suspecting they might be going into a trap.
They come back to 304 Coursewalk and take a look at the files they lifted, seeing detailed profiles about important ponies, spies and criminals.
Emerald searches through the files, but doesn't find anything noteworthy.
He recognizes one of the names in the files, Cherry Chiffon, who's dogtags he found next to her corpse earlier inside the cave.
He decides to contact the chronodaemon inside his amulet after talking to Pip.
The chronodaemon tells Emerald that he's using him as a source of entertainment for him and his audience, but refuses to divulge any more information about his past.
Emerald boops the amulet.
Emerald asks Joyride about the demons residing inside his amulet and the gem they're searching for, but she doesn't know much about it.
Emerald and Ruby team up and briefly visit the library before going to see Sensoria.
Emerald meets Sweetie Candy, Sensoria's attendant.
Emerald wants to have some alone time with Sensoria, but Sweetie cockblocks him.
Sensoria teaches Emerald two spells, Ray of Frost and Arcane Sight.
Emerald has a touching moment with Sensoria while under the Arcane Sight spell, but Sweetie ruins the moment.
Emerald passes out from doing too much magic and wakes up after an hour or two.
Sweetie was watching over him while he slept, telling him to stay put as she leaves and puts a guard outside his room.
Emerald finds out that Sensoria was hiding inside a closet all this time and after the giant salt shaker has finally left, invites him into the closet for some well deserved lewd times.
Emerald has sex with Sensoria inside the closet.
Sensoria uses an invisibility spell to sneak out of the room before Sweetie comes back.
Sweetie eventually returns and they reunite with Sensoria.
Emerald asks Sensoria about the dogtags, revealing that the owner was indeed a spy.
Emerald and Ruby leave Sensoria and return to 304 Coursewalk.
Emerald and Joyride initiate a seance and use Cherry Chiffon's skull to summon her ghost so they can talk to her.
Cherry doesn't reveal much useful information, but asks Emerald to tell Aji Sushi that she has perished.
Emerald boops Cherry's skull.
Emerald asks Cherry some more questions about her past and the Marjani.
After they finish the seance Emerald goes on a date with Joyride and asks her about getting more clients so he can get enough money to buy an etherlock pistol.
He bonds with Joyride for a bit before going back to 304 Coursewalk.
Emerald eats some pastries with Ruby, takes a bath and goes to bed.
The chronodemon talks to Emerald right as he's about to go to sleep, offering him a glance of where the third gem containing the demon is located.
Emerald accepts the proposal and goes to sleep.
Larimar has jumped down into a hole into an ancient zebra temple, finding a knife and a green gem he was looking for on an old statue.
He takes the gem and inserts it into the knife, making it easy to transport.
He exits the gem room and solves a couple of stereotypical dungeon puzzles, meeting a zebra zombie in the process.
Larimar insults the zombie and murders it with his knife, looting the corpse afterwards.
He solves another puzzle and enters the main lobby of the temple with three doors to choose from.
He picks a doorway at random, stumbling into a room with a lot of zebras and zombies on guard.
He nopes out of that room and checks out the room on the side next, which seemed to be some sort of alchemy lab.
He searches around and finds nothing except a pit with a tentacle monster inside of it.
He leaves the room and checks out the last door, finding Uictoria along with the rest of the Order of the Arrow.
Larimar gives the gem to Uictoria, after which Emerald wakes up from his dream.
He has breakfast with Ruby and tells her about his dream, after which the pair go to the promenade so they can find Aji Sushi.
They find her restaurant and meet Sushi, giving her Cherry's skull and telling her that she's dead.
Sushi treats the pair to some sushi and sake as they begin to chat about her job.
Emerald tries to boop Sushi but gets bodied by her CQC moves.
Emerald asks Sushi to help him steal the gem, to which she agrees in exchange for the files they found in warehouse 52.
After saying farewell to Sushi, the pair go visit a curio shop, in which Emerald buys a tarot deck.
Emerald spends some more time with Ruby, buying her ice cream and playing in the water for a bit.
After looking through the food stalls, Emerald notices Praline selling cinnamon pecans.
Emerald reunites with Praline and they catch up on the events since they last saw each other.
Giles joins them, grumpy as usual.
Emerald boops Giles.
Giles tells Emerald that he needs to talk to him, inviting him into a shady alley.
Giles "punishes" Emerald for stealing his bandana…by facefucking him.
Emerald gives Giles a kiss before rejoining Ruby and Praline.
He hangs out with Praline some more, asking Praline to braid his hair.
He flirts with Giles for a bit before deciding to head back to 304 Coursewalk with Ruby.
He tells Joyride about his plan to take the gem with Sushi's help, asking her to copy the files before he gives them to Sushi.
He sends some letters to Bo and Hope before taking the files and returning to Sushi's restaurant.
Emerald joins Sushi in her office and gives her the files, asking Ruby to stay outside so they can have some alone time.
Emerald titfucks Sushi.
He asks Sushi to try and get some info for the heist before asking her to do his hair into a bun.
He rejoins Ruby and the pair head back to 304 Coursewalk.
They find Joyride passed out near the front door.
They take her inside and place her in the bed before taking her keys and deciding to explore her private rooms a bit.
They find a room with a royal jelly pool, a wasp queen named Joyride (Waspride) residing inside.
They get acquainted and find out that Joyride is planning to use the wasp queen to start a royal jelly farm for herself.
Emerald and Ruby ask Waspride some more questions about herself before saying farewell, promising to visit her again soon.
The pair continue exploring Joyride's room, eventually making their way back to the memory orb room.
They pop in a memory orb and watch the contents.
The memory contains Joyride and Sunshine Sea having an argument, Sunshine dumping Joyride for a stallion she supposedly got pregnant with.
Emerald deduces that Sunshine might be his and Ruby's mother after seeing the familiar looking pendant around her neck in the memory.
Joyride comes into the memory orb room, Emerald angry at Joyride for not telling him that Sunshine might be his mother.
After an emotional and heated moment with Joyride, Ruby calms Emerald down and they both go to bed for the night.
Emerald wakes up and decides to search for Joyride using the compass she gave him.
He uses her keys to eventually find a room with an Etheric Beacon.
He uses the beacon and loses consciousness, waking up in a rundown house, seeing Joyride through the window.
He joins Joyride and they talk a bit about her and Sunshine before heading off to a nearby village to get something to eat.
Emerald asks Joyride some more questions about Sunshine and her immortality while they eat.
Joyride offers to do a DNA test for Emerald, checking if him and Ruby are related.
After bonding some more with Joyride, Emerald and her decide to return home using the beacon.
He wakes Ruby up and tells her about the DNA test, taking some of her hair and giving it to Joyride.
Emerald decides to spend some time practicing magic outside, eventually deciding to visit Olam, the alchemist.
He arrives at Olam's lab and goes to his office to speak to him, asking him to take him on as an apprentice to which Olam agrees after some convincing.
Olam's first task for Emerald was to make a potion for him, Emerald successfully making a fireball potion.
They decide to test the potion inside their test area, in which Emerald meets Aldehyde, another one of Olam's apprentices.
After completing his first task, Emerald asks Aldehyde to show him around Olam's residence.
After showing him around Aldehyde and Emerald stop by the break room to get a bite to eat.
Emerald asks Aldehyde a bunch of questions about herself, her job, Olam and some potion advice.
Aldehyde shows Emerald around the greenhouse as they chat about potions some more.
Emerald returns to Olam's office, just in time to talk to Joyride using a special potion filled in a bowl.
They talk about the details of Emeralds apprenticeship, agreeing that he can come and leave whenever he wants to as long as he does his homework.
Aldehyde shows Emerald to his room, in which he practices some more magic before exploring Olam's residence some more.
He eventually meets up with Olam who teaches him how to improve in alchemy, helping him make a better fireball potion.
After asking him a few more questions about zebra gods he decides to go to bed for the day.
While reading in bed he gets distracted by a noise outside his room.
He goes out to investigate, seeing a shadowy figure go by as another pony hurries him into their room, telling Emerald that he's in danger.
Emerald listens to the pony and goes inside, the pony introducing himself as Kirlian, another one of Olam's apprentices.
Kirlian tells Emerald that all apprentices living in Olam's residence are criminals who Olam took in so they can continue their research in alchemy.
Kirlian also warns Emerald that Aldehyde is a serial killer and that he should stay away from her.
After getting distracted talking about future reading with Kirlian for a bit, Emerald leaves him to his devices and goes out to find Aldehyde despite the warning given to him.
He eventually finds Aldehyde, asking her about the necromancy potion she is currently working on.
Emerald confronts Aldehyde about her past as a serial killer, to which she all admits to be true.
Aldehyde confesses that she killed the ponies she went to school with because they bullied her and is planning to make a potion so she can resurrect them and kill them again.
Aldehyde shows Emerald around her torture chamber/bedroom, showing off her torture tools as she shares some more about her past.
Their time was interrupted by Olam and Kirlian, who come barging into Aldehydes' in search of Emerald.
After a brief argument Emerald is sent back to his room and finally goes to bed for the night.
After waking up, Emerald writes Sensoria a letter and goes to Olam's office to receive his next task.
Emerald's next task was to get under Olam's desk and give him a blowjob.

Olam eventually interrupts them and says that Joyride is outside waiting for him.
Emerald says farewell and meets up with Joyride, who came to pick him up so they can meet his next "client".
Joyride decides to leave Ruby with a giraffe called Borba while the pair do their business, but not before Emerald boops Borba.
Emerald and Joyride head to their client, meeting Mandibella the changeling.
After a brief introduction Emerald fucks a bug and passes out after Mandibella drains some love out of him.
He wakes up back home a day later and takes his payment.
He finds Joyride who tells him to get ready for a heist because a pack of deer diplomats will come to town in a few days, a white deer with them.
They spend some time hatching the plan for their white deer horn heist.
Emerald speaks with Joyride some more then proceeds to talk to Pip and ask her some questions about Tartarus.
He checks up on Ruby and Borba, telling them about his plans.
Emerald and Joyride go to another dimension so they can run the DNA test they previously collected samples for.
They turn in the samples while Emerald asks more questions about the dimension, Joyride revealing that it's more dependent on science rather than magic.
Emerald summons Pip and chats with her a bit about food as they go have a bite to eat at the local mall.
They look around the mall some more before going to this dimension's 304 Coursewalk, meeting up with Joyride (Techride).
After a brief introduction the two Joyrides start making out.
Techride shows Emerald around her lab, explaining the differences between the dimensions in more detail as they look around.
Techride reveals a caged goo demon named Roxy, planning to learn demon magic from her in exchange for her release.
