The Perilous Quest to Save Vinyl From Certain Demise

While the zebra may act strangely, and look much different than the ponies that you are used to, you know it would be wrong to judge them because of their difference. You have to treat them just like regular ponies, and that means you should trust them enough to ask if they had seen Vinyl. Though they had a different upbringing, you can only hope they are as open and honest as your friends from Ponyville.

You approach one of the zebras who looks to be the least occupied with work, interrupting him with the quick sound of clearing your throat. He turns to face you, seeming a bit disinterested.

"Forgive my intrusion," you ask politely, "but have you seen a white unicorn around here with blue hair and a cutie mark of two music notes? She disappeared from home a while ago, and I think she may have passed through here."

The zebra listens to you intently, saying nothing as you speak. When you finish, he remains silent for a time, before turning to one of his striped companions nearby. Getting the attention of yet another muscular tribesman, he speaks to the other in a strange language you can't make heads or tails of.

Relax, you think, trying to remain calm as the two zebras talk back and forth, passing glances at you between phrases. He's probably just asking his friend if he's seen Vinyl. I'm sure these two are both trustworthy...

The two zebras talk for a minute longer, and you begin to wonder what they are speaking about. You look around the area, and none of the other ponies seem to be paying attention to you, having tasks to complete. Why are these two here then? As you turn your head back to the zebra you spoke to, you just barely catch him glancing at your figure, his eyes too low to have been looking at your face...

After a few more brief words, the zebra turns back to you, and finally speaks in an equestrian language you can understand.

"I am Adisa, and this is my friend, Masozi" He says with a strange lilt in his voice, as if he rarely spoke your language. "Masozi knows this unicorn you speak of. You follow him, and he will show you."

Without saying a word, the other zebra extends a hoof to beckon you with a smile, and begins walking deeper into the village.

You're not sure what is going on, and where they plan to take you, but these zebra seem to know about Vinyl. Even if it seems a bit suspicious, you don't have any other lead on her location...

Should you trust them?

It's worth the risk if you can find Vinyl! Go along with them for now.

You don't trust them one bit. Ask them more questions before you follow them who-knows-where.
