Void was confused. Where had it gone? When she checked after she got it back, the money was still their. And now, she had nothing. That was bad. Without the money she couldn't afford to get any food. Or supplies. Or...
"Is something wrong?" Asked the deer. Or get a room.
"No! I've been robbed!" Void barked. It was the thing! The one who "Flipped her off." It was the only thing she could think of, unless a bird or something got a hold of it as she slept. Which she highly doubted. Unfortunately, with him lost in a crowd and likely on the other side of town, she couldn't just hung him down. And she somehow doubted that the guards would be of help.
The deer frowned slightly, docking his head to one side. "So, you have no money? At all?"
Void looked back at him. "Yes."
The deer lowered himself, only his antlers remaining above the counter. When he emerged, a very large made was gripped in his mouth. Void backed up in surprise as he lay the weapon on the counter. "Then, if you aren't going to rent a room, please leave my establishment."
Void, not wanting to cause any problems, backpedaled out the door. Once outside, she turned around and scanned the crowd, hoping that the thief, by some miracle, was still near. She caught no sight of him, but she had expected as much. Still, When she was Rainbow, she was known for her stubbornness. That was one of the things she kept, so she trudged off, looking for the thief.
She pushed her way through the crowd, looking at each and every one of the Odd creatures she could see. They came in many sizes, mane colors, and wore many different clothes, from armor to rags. However, she couldn't see the one who she had bumped into. She growled in frustration, but still kept up her search.
She stopped trying to look for him in the crowd of the market. She reasoned that he would abandon the area after he stood her money, as to avoid her tracking him down. So, where else could he have gone? She had seen it was a big city from the hillside and....Oh.
She gave up hope at that. She was stubborn, not stupid. She figured that he knew the layout of the city better then her, and knew where to escape from her. Plus, she may look in the entirety wrong section of the city, and would never find him. Void grumbled, muttering as she walked over to an alley. She sat down, back slumped against the wall, and began to think of her next move.
Well, the most obvious idea that came to mind was to get some more money. She could think of two ways to do this. One was to steal from others herself. This idea she shot down almost immediately. She would steal if she got any more desperate, but at the moment, she was not keen on the idea. She had no experience, and would likely be caught. And that would just be more effort then it would be worth.
The second idea was the much longer, yet much more stable idea. That being finding a job. She may have a much harder time with this, as she was unfamiliar with the place. However, it was quite large, so finding a job shouldn't be too difficult. Plus, she was a hard worker; even back in ponyville, she would only nap and pass around it all her work was done and done well. So, she focused down a plan: get a job, work for a few months, then find some transport out of town. But then, something occurred to her. Would that be necessary?
She realized it really wasn't. Her 'Friends' likely didn't care enough to come down looking for her. Sunass also wouldn't send royal guards after her, being so far away. For all she knew, she was replaced. She didn't know how the elements worked, but it made at least some sense. The point was, she may never see them again.
Well, okay. she thought. Good riddance to s***** rubbish.
So, what then? Well, her plan didn't change too much. It was still more or less the same step one and two: get a job and earn some money. However, step three changed to get a house. This was her fresh start. Her truly fresh start. Now, she had to look for a place that would hire her.
However, she then realized just how late it was. While she had entered somewhat early, she had spent much longer than she had expected looking for that thief. She didn't own a watch, or have access to one, but if she had to guess, it was about four. She didn't know what time the sun set, or even what season it was, but she put a rough estimate at around seven. Which gave her roughly three hours before dark to find a place to sleep and some grub.
She looked around the alley she was in. She wasn't expecting much, but she maybe able to e he an old blanket or something. She didn't, so she stood up and left the alley. She began to look for something to eat, as she was incredibly hungry. Her hunger caught up with her, and now her stomach yelled at her, demanding sustenance. However, she soon realized this would be problematic.
She had no money, and so no way to buy food. She had a feeling that some of the creatures wouldn't take too kindly to giving her a handout. And even if they would, she had just enough dignity left to not resort to begging. So, that left her three options: pickpocket somebody, wonder across some money on the ground, or steal something from a stand.
She found herself back in the square by the door. She also found herself doing something else: eyeing one of the stalls. One that was, despite the time of day, packed with food. In this case, bread. Nice, large, firm rolls that she wouldn't have cared less for in equestria but know she would kill for. She knew some money wouldn't just appear out of nowhere, so, she had to steal it. She normally, even down here, wouldn't think of it. But know, starving And likely a lot thinner then she once was, was willing to do it.
So, trying not to be noticed, she began to walk toward the stall.
