FoE PNP Group Unlucky 13 Session 24 Part 2

[20:05] <TenMihara|GM>  *****PnP Group 13, Session 24****
[20:05] <TenMihara|GM>  *****Session Resumes*****
[20:13] * Purple_Kay packs away his pony-portable workbench.
[20:14] * Harmony stands fidgeting in her new bandage get up, waiting for everypony else to be ready to leave.
[20:15] * Logic_Gates goes ahead and reaches for his cap bag. "Twenty caps? Sure. Worth it."
[20:15] <TenMihara|GM>  The merchat takes the caps and gives him the beat up, single sting still intact, fiddle.
[20:19] * Razor is super grumpy. Her head hurts and she feels and sluggish. Moving is like trying to wade through syrup.
[20:22] * Logic_Gates goes to hold the beat-up fiddle up to Purple_Kay. "Hey, I got this. Now help me with the rats."
[20:23] * Purple_Kay gives it a thorough inspection.
[20:23] * Razor gives a low growl. "Don't you dare play that in here..."
[20:24] * Purple_Kay "no worries, Champ. Only one string. Going to take work and parts."
[20:27] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks betwwen Harmony and Purple_Kay, then tilts her head curiously. She had no idea what rats had to do with anything.
[20:29] * Purple_Kay offers Daisy a hoof getting correctly in her armor. "Hey, G, you think Bottlecap would keep an eye on Daisy if we left her here?"
[20:30] * Razor wobbles onto her hooves. Ow. Stop it body. Cooperate.
[20:35] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks herself over in the armour and nobs approvingly. She had never been given clothes before either, or anything that might keep her safe from... anything.
[20:36] * Purple_Kay looks to Logic_Gates and back to Daisy, the question still hanging.
[20:37] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks curious herself. She was kinda torn between the fun she had here, and going off on new adventures now that she was free
[20:42] * Purple_Kay "we can always ask I suppose. Bottlecap's then head out? See if she can offer safety for Daisy before we go?"
[20:45] * Purple_Kay looks over to Razor. "Need help with your armor, Champ?" He grins a no doubt infuriating smirk.
[20:45] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks to Green_Field for his recommendation
[20:47] * Razor has never needed help with her armor, ever. She barely ever takes it off anyway. Who knows when you might get shanked in the middle of the night. "Why don't you go be noisy somewhere else?"
[20:49] * Purple_Kay smiles. "Just checking on ya Kid. Lets get going". He heads off toward Bottlecaps.
[20:50] * Green_Field says to Daisy, "you're free now. That means you'll have to decide for yourself what you want to do in your life. You can either see if you can stay here or come with us. If you do decide to come with us, we'll do our best to keep you safe."
[20:51] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks ponderous, then siddles up close to Green Field. She looks at him with a smile and eyes lit with a lust for adventure with which to fill her new freedom. She didn't escape just to coop herself up again
[20:53] * Green_Field smiles back at her, "just make sure to do what we say and stay close, ok?"
[20:53] * Razor groans and follows. Click-clack, click-clack. Her own hooves were betraying her. Were they always so noisy? Click-clack.
[20:54] * Purple_Kay hasn't noticed and is still heading toward Bottlecaps to ask for her safe keeping.
[20:55] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy raises an eyebrow, That was kind of a mixed message for an ex-slave
[20:59] <Green_Field> "Come on, two days of treating you like royalty and you think we're going to start ordering you around like you're a slave again? I just mean that in our experience we'll have a better idea of how to keep you from harm."
[21:03] * Purple_Kay approaches Bottlecaps office, looking to see if it is open.
[21:04] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy nods understandingly
[21:04] * Razor click-clacks all the way behind Purple_Kay. She's swaying a bit as she walks. Everything seems a little blurrier the more hurty she feels.
[21:07] * Purple_Kay looks back at the spread out group behind him. "Hey, Doc? Can you check on Razor? Seems more off than usual. Even more off than after the arena fight." He turns. "I'll see if Bottlecap will put Daisy up. "
[21:08] * Green_Field walking over to Razor to look her over, "sure."
[21:09] * Harmony groans in discomfort, scratching at the bandages covering her, becoming restless.
[21:10] * Purple_Kay motions to Daisy. "Let's see if we can get you someplace safe. "
[21:11] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy shakes her head and sticks close to Green_Field, looking to see what he was doing to/with Razor
[21:12] * Purple_Kay sucks his teeth. "Daisy, look at me."
[21:13] * Razor snorts and recoils. "It's a fucking headache. Don't even think about touching my head..."
[21:15] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks to Purple_Kay and tilts her head.
[21:16] * Green_Field shrugging it off, "Agreed, just a headache."
[21:18] * Purple_Kay contorts his neck and pulls the bandage off his shoulder revealing the huge graft-covered divot. He stand to his full height, in all his hideously scarred glory. "This is what our lives do to us. I won't make you stay, but I want to know you are /completely/ aware of the danger. Are you sure?"
[21:18] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks nervous now. That was really nasty. She looks to Green_Field for some kind of reassurance.
[21:21] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy shrinks away a bit
[21:23] * Purple_Kay closes back up the front of his new barding again. Hiding a fair portion of the latticework of scars away.
[21:23] * Green_Field disgusted at both his conduct and his treatment of his wound says sternly, "that's enough! I don't deny your point, but you could use more tact. She's been a slave all her life, you don't think shes witnessed her share of horrible things done to ponies, even to herself. They even cut out her tongue, so I think it's safe to assume she knows what can happen out there!"
[21:24] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy paws at the ground with a hoof sheepishly
[21:27] * Purple_Kay doesn't balk. "She may not have to spend her freedom as dangerously as us. I don't want her to take this break as the norm for us. I won't have her hurt because of a dilussion we've allowed to grow. I don't want to scare you, Daisy, but I want you to be sure of the risks and careful."
[21:27] * Green_Field a little irritated by his own lack of tack, turns to Daisy, "I'm sorry if I brought back any bad memories."
[21:28] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy sighs, then shakes her head. She motions for something to write with.
[21:28] * Green_Field pulls out the paper and pencil once more.
[21:28] * Purple_Kay 's eyes soften. He gets out his drafting kit and gives it to her.
[21:28] * LG tilts his head. "She could work security while I'm away."
[21:29] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy writes: "Life dangerous. Know that from friend died and giant bug thing. Still, need to learn how to do some useful and survive. Easier with friends, yes/no?"
[21:31] * Purple_Kay blinks. "You're wiser than you know. Lets go find our missing friend, yeah?"
[21:32] * Razor gives Daisy a look. "The world hurts. All you can do is fight back." She gives her head a slow shake and brings a foreleg up to her now-closed eyes. "Can we GO? Talking hurts even worse."
[21:32] * Harmony nods, finally! "To the Society then..."
[21:33] <TenMihara|GM>  Harmony would know that the Society is based at Elysium Resort
[21:33] <Green_Field> "Lead the way, I'll heal you when you need it."
[21:33] * LG frowns. He'd planned on going to the college.
[21:34] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy scribbles, "You help me and so nice, I help you find friend at least."
[21:34] * Harmony sets off, ready to get a move on towards the Elysium Resort. "We should leave now, I would like to find her soon..."
[21:35] * Purple_Kay goes with them, walking beside Green_Field . "Don't suppose you could do that pain away spell on Razor? Her hangover is going to end up hurting all of us." A true stallions apology, say nothing, go back to normal.
[21:36] * Green_Field to Daisy, "You ought to hold onto the paper and pencil now that you pockets."
[21:38] * Green_Field to Purple_Kay, "you know her better than I do. Razor, how about some pain relief for that headache?"
[21:39] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy nods and slips the pencil and paper pad away
[21:41] * Razor gives a low, frustrated growl. "I don't care... just hurry and let's go!"
[21:42] * Green_Field casts pain relief on her.
[21:42] * Purple_Kay falls  in line after she gets zapped and keeps his eyes peaked for trouble on the road.
[21:43] * Razor feels... quite a bit better. But she's still in a pretty grumpy mood.
[21:50] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy sticks close the Green_Field as they walk. They could reach Elysium in less than a day's travel from Megamart, but there was a fair amount of ground to cover
[21:51] * Purple_Kay has the sudden epiphany that Daisy is unarmed. He trots over to her and Green_Field and removes his knife and scabbard. "I hope you don't need it, but you should have something."
[21:52] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks at the knife and frowns. It looked similar to the same implement that had taken away her tongue.
[21:54] * Razor gives Daisy a glare. "Stop holding us up. Let's GO."
[21:54] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy frowns, but takes the knife anyways
[21:54] * Purple_Kay sees her distain and digs into his bag for a baton.
[21:55] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks up from sheathing the knife as Purple_Kay goes for something else
[21:57] <TenMihara|GM>  Razor, with her senses cleared, manages to spot a slightly darker patch of shadow being cast over Purple_Kay, who also notices it
[21:59] * Purple_Kay looks up from his scrounging, swinging his yoke to the ready.
[22:00] * Purple_Kay manages an "Up!" Figuring something in the sky from the shadow.
[22:01] * Harmony looks up, trying to find whatever it was.
[22:01] * Green_Field looks up as well.
[22:02] <TenMihara|GM>  There is a thicker shadow, but those on the ground can't make out anything different from the cloud cover above
[22:03] * Green_Field looking at Purple_Kay, "something wrong?"
[22:03] * Purple_Kay keeps his eyes to the sky, sweeping the air in grids. Something cast that shadow.
[22:06] * Purple_Kay "Shadow..." He keeps looking up.  "Has to be above."
[22:06] * Green_Field looks up again not sure if Purple_Kay's own headache was getting to him.
[22:08] * Razor goes for her weapon, glaring at the sky. She's not in the mood for games!
[22:18] * Shadow has to be what now?
[22:24] <TenMihara|GM>  There is a pair of painfully loud guncracks and suddenly so much blood as Purple_Kay has a good chunk of his face blow off by a successive pair of rather large bullets. The stallion staggers, but somehow manages to maintain consciousness. One of the shots tore clean through his muzzle, while the other dug deep into his neck, puncturing an artery
[22:25] <TenMihara|GM>  A shout comes from directly above Purple_Kay, "How the fuck is he not dead?! This guy's a monster! Gertrude, finish him off."
[22:27] * Purple_Kay_ 's would bellow in pain, but the bullet carved a path through his sinus cavity and out the side of his jaw. He manages to keep his mouth around his saddle's yoke.
[22:28] <TenMihara|GM>  A voice calls from the ground, "Hang on, maybe they'll give her up if we threaten to finish off the big one." A lithe female griffon steps out from under a camoflage net and aims a markspony carbine at Purple_Kay. "Okay, so you got yourself some tough help, but let's see how loyal some bodyguard mercs are." She directs this at Harmony, glaring at her, then looks to Purple_Kay, "Give up the mare or I drop you."
[22:30] * Harmony blinks, seeing Purple_Kay's wound, and furrows her brow, looking to the mare. "Mister Kay..." She frowns. "If I give myself up you will let them live?"
[22:30] * Purple_Kay_ smiles, his jaw half hanging on the right side, blood pumping out of the wound in his neck and pooling in the divot below his armor. He hold's up a hoof to as he composes his response.
[22:31] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude looks around the group while keeping her gun leveled at Purple_Kay, "That goes for the rest of you. Give us the mark, and the rest of you can keep on living."
[22:32] * Logic_Gates looks up. "What are you talking about! Are you after my porn? I swear to Celestia, I can make a copy!"
[22:33] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude frowns at Logic, "Funny guy kid. Unless you want the punchline to be your head on my trophy wall, pipe down and hand over the mark."
[22:33] * Razor 's eyes widen. This... No. Just no! Her breathing catches in her throat. She shouts out, viciously, "You fucking try it and I will SKIN YOU ALIVE! DO YOU HEAR ME!? YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE DEAD!" She is shouting as loud as she ever has. Throat-bleedingly loud.
[22:34] * Purple_Kay_ spits out a large amount of blood... well... not so much spitting as it just falls out the side of his face, but the effort was there.
[22:35] * Purple_Kay_ "Lemme 'sk you 'is. I'm so hard to kill, how you think you gonna take the rest?"
[22:35] * Logic_Gates steps in front of the behemoth. "I'm not joking, what are you after? I can't see what you're pointing at!" He felt the energy welling up in the space behind his horn.
[22:37] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude keeps her rifle on Purple_Kay, "If he means that much to you, give up the Society's mark and the rest of you can go." She smirks at Purple_Kay, "Big guy like you is either the leader or the toughest one in a squad like this. Any other pony would have been killed by those shots, and it'll be easy enough to keep out of reach while we pick off the rest if they don't comply."
[22:38] * Harmony sighs, looking to Purple_Kay sadly. "Just... turn me in. I do not want to cause your death."
[22:38] * Purple_Kay_ laughs long and loud, blood splattering from his face as he does. He shakes his head vigourously, an arc of blood tossed about. He stops with a final chuckle.
[22:38] <TenMihara|GM>  Purple_Kay is bleeding really heavily
[22:39] * Logic_Gates hears something behind him, something that broke his focus. "... Time out!" He looked back at Harmony and glared. "How long has this been going on?"
[22:39] * Green_Field resists the urge to apply aid to Purple_Kay_, the risk of her finishing him off is too great.
[22:41] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude smirks and answers Logic's question, "This bitch is wanted by the Society for two counts of murder, larsony and breaking an endentured contract. They put out a general bounty, but the widow of one of her victims contracted us special to hunt her down."
[22:42] * Purple_Kay_ looks up to the sky.
[22:43] * Harmony frowns, looking down and listening to her charges.
[22:43] * Razor snarls at the griffon. She was ready to do something stupid.
[22:45] * Logic_Gates whispers through clenched teeth. "On my mark, get ready to act. Green, prepare to treat purple." He spoke out again. "Okay, time in. So, how's this going to work?"
[22:46] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude raises an eyebrow, "It's going to work that either you give up the mark, or we kill the big guy, and the rest of you if need be."
[22:46] * Green_Field looks from Logic_Gates to Gertrude, not sure how this will play out.
[22:47] * Logic_Gates shakes his head. "No, I mean, how are we getting out of here alive, even if we do give her up?"
[22:48] * Razor keeps growling. "We kill them. And flay them. Until there's nothing left but bones."
[22:49] * Purple_Kay_ keeps looking at the sky. The shot came from there, the griffon in front of them doesn't matter, the sniper does. He keeps scanning.
[22:50] * Razor thinks the griffon in front of them matters more, since she's doing the gun pointing.
[22:50] * Green_Field always keeping his supplies in the same places, readies himself to pull out the needed equipment.
[22:53] * Proverb is hidden somewhere above all of them, having followed the griffons from The Society's HQ. PK had been hit bad by the sniper already, and there was another griffon on the ground threatening him now too... She lines up her shots, two to both the sniper's and Gertrude's heads, and fires.
[22:57] * Purple_Kay_ "'orry. 'he's 'amily. You 'an't 'ave er'."
[23:02] <TenMihara|GM>  Proverb's gunshots coincide with Purple_Kay's declaration of family, and with a wretched squawk, the form of a griffon falls through a low hanging cloud, plummeting towards the ground. Gertrude looks up in horror; "Geoffry!" Her lapse in focus gives Razor an opening
[23:04] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude is also pelted by a couple shots and screams as she's shot, coupled with the plummeting of the flying sniper
[23:05] * Razor acts almost as soon as the griffon bitch looks away! She almost /jumps/ between the griffon and Purple_Kay_, and lashes out at her with her weapon, telekinetically, aiming to shove it right through her throat.
[23:10] * Razor follows it up with a slash at one of the griffon's arms. If she can't hold the gun...
[23:11] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude is dead before Razor can reach her arm with the second attack, the would-be reaper's blade cutting clean through her armour and tearing her throat out
[23:11] * Razor doesn't care if she's dead or not!
[23:12] * Razor will kill her harder!
[23:12] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude's dead flesh yields easily, her arm coming off and her gun dropping
[23:13] * Purple_Kay_ is still looking up at the sky, a little loopy from the blood loss. He sees the dead sniper drop. So that's where you were hiding... clever...
[23:14] * Razor is still growling and breathing heavily in white-hot rage. Her entire body is tense.
[23:15] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude is dead and Geoffery's body breaks with a loud thud punctuated by some sick cracks as it hits the ground.
[23:20] * Purple_Kay_ coughs a bit of blood, that joins all the other blood. "Doc? 'er disguise 'idn't work."
[23:20] * Green_Field as soon as the danger has passed, runs over to Purple_Kay_ while pulling out magical bandages and a blood pack.
[23:20] * Proverb rockets out of her position, a tiny black spec against the sky, diving towards the ground, a faint black streak trailing behind her.
[23:20] * Harmony looks at the dead bounty hunters in surprise, quickly turning her attention and concern to Purple_Kay.
[23:22] * Razor snarls and looks around for more targets. "COME OUT! COME OUT SO I CAN KILL YOU!"
[23:23] * Green_Field to everypony, "I'm gonna need help with this!" He starts by applying a magical bandage and pressure.
[23:24] * Purple_Kay_ is a little loopy from the blood loss. "'his was a bran' 'ew suit..."
[23:25] * Purple_Kay_ tries to suck his teeth in irritation, but the lack of the right side of his face make it a physical impossibility.
[23:27] * Razor isn't good at medical stuff. But when she hears Green_Field talking instead of medicining, she shouts at him angrily. "Don't just sit there! Fix him! Or I swear..."
[23:28] * Purple_Kay_ "Ah'm 'ine. Noh 'orries." The way the jutting bone flaps about on through the exit wound on the right side of his face might indicate otherwise.
[23:30] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy, who was paralyzed with fear right up until the griffons died, rushes to Green's side. She starts to cry, knowing her complete lack of skill would be totally useless right now.
[23:33] * Purple_Kay_ nudges Daisy's hoof with his. Not moving to hold her hoof, but offering his to be held. She can do that much for him. He smiles... with his eyes... cause his mouth can't do jack shit.
[23:33] * Green_Field says to Daisy, "put pressure on his jaw." He then connects the blood pack to Purple_Kay_'s leg before getting out a needle and stitching nylon.
[23:34] <Green_Field> "Somepony get over here and hold this blood pack!"
[23:35] * Harmony trots over quickly, grimacing as she holds the pack.
[23:36] * Razor is glaring at every cloud, as if daring anything to come down and fight her like a mare!
[23:36] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy nods and uses a hoof to prop Purple_Kay's jaw in place
[23:37] * Green_Field as he pulls out his graft bandage, "I just got his too."
[23:37] * Proverb is diving towards the ground from where she had been hiding a good ways up.
[23:38] * Logic_Gates grabs his gun and checks behind the rocks.
[23:38] * Purple_Kay_ "Ah 'ust gah dun wearin' one." He would probably complain more but he realizes he is making Daisy's job more difficult. "'orry."
[23:40] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy just sniffles and holds his jaw in place still
[23:41] * Green_Field begins stitching Purple_Kay_'s jaw, repositioning Daisy's hooves as needed.
[23:44] * Razor ... can't really do much. She's not a smart pony who knows how to treat injuries. She just knows how to skewer a chicken through the throat.
[23:44] <TenMihara|GM>  Logic_Gates finds nothing
[23:45] * Logic_Gates wanders around, trying to find somepony still hiding.
[23:46] * Purple_Kay_ winces as Green wires, stitches, wraps, and magics his head back together.
[23:48] * Purple_Kay_ sits there and stare out at where a ribbon of black dropped out of the sky earlier. He. Just. Stares.
[23:49] <Proverb> Said ribbon of black is getting steadily closer, Proverb at the front of it.
[23:49] * Green_Field then sets on the graft bandage to try and hold his jaw onto his head.
[23:51] * Razor is still looking for targets. That black ribbon has caught her eye. She stands tense, watching it.
[23:56] * Purple_Kay_ looks pointedly at Harmony and then to the black streak heading their way.
[23:56] * Harmony still looks to PK with concern, and seeing his glance, turns her head to discern the black streak.
[23:56] * Purple_Kay_ takes the bloodpack from her so she's free. He can hold a bag.
[23:57] * Green_Field having done that, casts bone mending to try and heal it as much as possible.
[23:57] * Harmony turns away fully when Purple_Kay takes the pack, removing the bandages from her face to get a better view.
[23:58] * Proverb levels out as she nears the ground, banking towards Harmony, Purple_Kay_, Green_Field, and the others.
[23:59] * Harmony smiles lightly, relieved to see Proverb unharmed.
[00:00] * Proverb still has her rifle drawn, and hits the ground at a gallop, heading straight for Harmony.
[00:01] * Harmony furrows her brow, seeing Proverb charging at her with her rifle...
[00:02] * Green_Field as a last thing casts clean on Purple_Kay_, "that's all I can do for now."
[00:03] * Purple_Kay_ looks down at his clean suit. He gives Green_Field a 'seriously' look, but then looks pretty pleased. It /was/ a new suit.
[00:03] <Green_Field> "Oh, one more thing." Casts a healing spell on Purple_Kay_.
[00:06] * Proverb leaps at Harmony, throwing her hooves around her and kissing her deeply.
[00:07] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy blinks in surprise, then snickers
[00:08] * Harmony blinks, blushing lightly in her surprise before wrapping a hoof around Proverb and returning the gesture in full force.
[00:08] * Purple_Kay_ waits for them to finish.
[00:09] * Razor glares a little at Proverb. This wasn't the time for that! There could be more dangerous things!
[00:09] * Green_Field stares at Purple_Kay_'s and pauses a second, "actually take another." He casts another heal spell.
[00:11] * Purple_Kay_ figures he has waited long enough and starts stalking over to the pair, eyes locked on Bonehead.
[00:11] * Proverb would be pretty sure Razor could handle whatever danger there was~
[00:12] * Harmony breaks the kiss after a few moments, wrapping Proverb up in a tight hug. She wasn't running off again. "Thank you Proverb... I am glad you are safe, though... please tell us, me, before next time."
[00:12] * Green_Field follows and watches Purple_Kay_ closely as he walks.
[00:13] * Purple_Kay_ each step reverberating as they progress to angry stomps.
[00:13] * Proverb hugs Harmony back, nodding. Her ears perk. Uh oh.
[00:13] * Purple_Kay_ eyes Proverb wildly, his eyes thin slits. He's been preparing this tongue lashing since she left. He takes a deep breath and opens his mouth...
[00:14] * Purple_Kay_ 's eyes go wide and his head tilts.
[00:14] * Purple_Kay_ looks crosseyed at this muzzle, back to Proverb, to his muzzle, back to Proverb...
[00:15] * Proverb looks at PK, tilting her head. "Uhm..."
[00:15] * Logic_Gates glares at Proverb and starts walking back, pausing a moment to give Purple his due. He just learned some very distressing facts about ponies he thought he knew. And then Purple looked like he was going to fall, so he dashed over to support him.
[00:15] * Purple_Kay_ starts to quiver in anger, unitelligible noises failing to make their way through the wire and bandages.
[00:16] * Purple_Kay_ he points at his mouth, at her, at his mouth, stomps a few times... a lot of times.
[00:16] * Razor glances between Purple_Kay_ and Proverb and the sky.
[00:16] * Proverb is suddenly a very, very small pegasus, wiggling away from Harmony and backing away from Purple_Kay_, quivering.
[00:17] * Harmony keeps Proverb in place, she wasn't going to get to avoid any punishment~
[00:17] * Purple_Kay_ spins and stomps and spins, unable to voice his frustration. He suddenly wheels, eyes small and beady. He stomps up to her and raises his forehoof high in the air.
[00:18] * Logic_Gates rolls his eyes, and then huffs. "Hold on. I'll be back in a moment. Purple, bring up what you're going to say in a little bit." His horn began to glow.
[00:18] * Proverb trembles all the same, letting out a squeak.
[00:18] * Purple_Kay_ brings his hoof down around her withers in a tight hug.
[00:19] * Proverb eeps.
[00:19] * Purple_Kay_ snorts and trots away.
[00:19] * Logic_Gates stares at Purple. "Hey. I could always go in and find out what you were going to say and say it for you. It's... Not a problem."
[00:21] * Purple_Kay_ shrugs. He thinks he got the point across.
[00:21] * Logic_Gates "You know. Relay the thing you're trying to say."
[00:22] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy has also shhrunk away form Purple_Kay now
[00:22] * Logic_Gates "No? Alright." Logic knows no fear. Or possibly doesn't understand it.
[00:22] * Purple_Kay_ gets out a sheet of paper and a length of tripwire. He makes a little sign and trots back to Proverb, dropping it over her neck.
[00:23] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy looks at it curiously
[00:23] * Purple_Kay_ 's sign reads "My Nickname is now Bonehead."
[00:23] * Proverb whimpers.
[00:24] * Harmony chuckles.
[00:25] * Logic_Gates glares at Proverb. "... Let's go back. You need to play the fiddle to get those lab rats."
[00:26] * Proverb just starts crying.
[00:27] * Harmony frowns and brushes Proverb's mane, holding her close. "Hush... It's alright..."
[00:28] * Proverb shudders. "N-No it's n-n-n-not..."
[00:28] * Razor glares back at Proverb. "Quiet! What if there are more? We need to go! Now!"
[00:29] <Proverb> "Th-th-th-the-e-ere's o-one m-m-m-more..."
[00:29] * Razor mutters some very not-nice words and goes back to scanning the sky.
[00:30] * Harmony releases Proverb. "And where is the last?"
[00:30] * Purple_Kay_ 's ears perk up. He sweeps up his control yoke... DAMN IT!
[00:31] * Logic_Gates stops, then turns around. "Where?"
[00:31] * Proverb picks up her Markspony Carbine, working the bolt, sniffling. "D-D-Dunno.... didn't... d-d-didn't s-see..."
[00:32] * Green_Field casting yet another heal spell on Purple_Kay_, "take another, you might need it."
[00:32] * Purple_Kay_ walks the 20 feet over to the molly and rifles through her belongings. Can't use a saddle with no working mouth.
[00:33] * Logic_Gates frowns, and casts a spell over his eyes. Magic detection, and the ability to see enemies. Let's see where you are.
[00:34] * Harmony pulls out her plasma pistol, looking around for the last.
[00:34] * Green_Field finally pulls out his revolver and goes to where Daisy is.
[00:35] * Proverb takes a defensive position near Harmony, scanning the area through her scope.
[00:35] * Logic_Gates growls and casts his whole suite. He had plans for this one.
[00:35] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy was staying a way from Purple_Kay while he was being scary
[00:38] * Razor is probably being at least 1000 times more scary than PK. Or at least was being scary not long ago. Right now she's just scanning the sky.
[00:38] * Green_Field to Daisy while waiting for things to happen, "you did a good job helping me. You ok?"
[00:39] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy is staying away form Razor too then. Way away
[00:39] * Proverb moves over towards the sniper griffon, searching the body. She wanted that Hunting Rifle.
[00:40] <TenMihara|GM>  Daisy nods a bit, slightly comforted, but still worried abotu another potential enemy
[00:51] <TenMihara|GM>  Gertrude's corpse has One set of Combat Armour fitted to a Griffon, One Markspony Carbine, 42 5.56mm rounds, and 500 Bottlecaps.
[00:52] <TenMihara|GM>  All of Logic Gate's search turns up nothing but an empty camoflage net
[00:57] * Purple_Kay_ moves over to sit beside Razor after looting the molly.
[00:59] * Razor is eyeing the sky. She gives Purple_Kay_ a glance as he approaches.
[01:00] * Logic_Gates huffs.
[01:00] <TenMihara|GM>  Geoffery's broken corpse lays nearby
[01:01] * Proverb is already searching it.
[01:01] * Purple_Kay_ settles beside her, looking up with her.
[01:04] * Razor chooses to remain silent. She wouldn't even know what to say.
[01:05] * Purple_Kay_ gets out his drafting supplies, happy he decided to buy them, they have been supremely useful. He writes. "What do you think? More or less attractive after Doc gets done?"
[01:05] <TenMihara|GM>  Geoffery's broken body contains a damaged .308 Hunting Rifle (40%, frame partically buckled by the fall), 12 .308 rounds, a set of Talon Combat Armour (including wing blades), 500 bottle caps and a slip of parchment that looks important
[01:06] * Logic_Gates stomps. Damnit, damnit, damnit! He looks back behind him and heads back, carrying the camouflage net. "... We need to throw him off our trail. If he's hiding, then he could know where we're going back to. If he isn't, then we lose nothing but time."
[01:08] * Proverb takes all of it, looking over at Purple_Kay_. He's the one who normally took care of distributing stuff, right?
[01:10] * Harmony puts her pistol away, thinking the last mercenary to be long gone.
[01:10] * Purple_Kay_ rocks to the left, bumping into Razor shoulder to shoulder.
[01:11] * Purple_Kay_ adds a quick extra line to his note. "Equestria to Razor."
[01:11] * Razor glances back to Purple_Kay_. She was a little distracted. She notices his note and frowns. "Not funny."
[01:12] * Proverb sighs, sitting down and pawing at the ground with a hoof.
[01:12] * Purple_Kay_ gets a puzzled look on his face. He writes again. "No, probably not. But at least we are alive to not laugh about it."
[01:13] * Harmony walks over to Proverb, nudging her lightly. "Proverb? So, what happened while you investigated the Society?"
[01:16] * Razor gives a little frustrated snort and glares. She doesn't like how he was trying to make light of the situation. "You're... impossible. You know that?"
[01:17] * Purple_Kay_ takes the paper again. He writes carefully. "I've had a couple close calls. But I made a promise to a pony I truly care for. I can't die until I see it through."
[01:20] * Razor continues frowning. She knows that feeling. She adds, "You had your /face/ shot off! That's... it's serious! Ponies don't just 'not die' when they're missing half their face!"
[01:20] <Green_Field> "Yet he does it very well."
[01:21] <Proverb> "I..." She sniffs. "Well, uhm, y-y-you're w-wanted a-alive only... by uhh D-Diamond Days... but, but th-th-those g-griffons w-weren't t-talking with them..."
[01:21] * Proverb pulls out the contract that she pulled off the griffon and looks at it.
[01:22] * Purple_Kay_ points to his face, a smile in his eyes. He waggles his eyebrows. He jots on the piece of paper. "Face it (ha! face...) You kids are stuck with me."
[01:24] * Harmony nods, looking at the paper.
[01:24] <TenMihara|GM>  The Contract Reads: 12,000 Caps for Harmony, pictured below, Alive. Crimes: 2 Murders, Larsony, Violation of Endenturment Contract. There's a picture of Harmony's face, and at the bottom it's signed by two sets of Initials. 'GG' and 'SL'
[01:25] <Proverb> "And... a-a-and th-this one's f-for 12,000..."
[01:25] * Harmony frowns, staring at the SL initials, ignoring the amount.
[01:25] * Harmony looks up to Proverb. "Do... do you know whose initials these are?"
[01:26] <Proverb> "I... uhm..." She racks her brain.
[01:26] * Purple_Kay_ chuckles a little and the bandage around his muzzle darkens as it turns into more of a coughing wheez.
[01:27] <TenMihara|GM>  Proverb can speculate that GG might stand for Geoffery Griffon... or some other surname. The SL she's clueless about
[01:28] <Proverb> "N-No... s-s-s-sorry..."
[01:28] <Proverb> "I d-d-dunno..."
[01:29] * Razor gives Purple_Kay_ a scowl and gives him a forceful shove. "Not. Funny."
[01:29] * Harmony nods. "It is... alright." Her frown deepens, just staring back down at the papers.
[01:31] * Proverb shakes her head. "N-No it's... i-i-it's n-n-not..."
[01:32] * Purple_Kay_ gets his little fit under control. He jots down another note and lays it in front of him as he raises his forleg to her withers. "I'm sorry. I'll be serious. It hurts, but I'm used to that. I'm just glad to be alive, with you, all of you. But you particularly. I meant it when I said I was with you and I'm awful stubborn."
[01:32] <Proverb> "They... th-th-th-they w-w-wanna t-t-take y-you back, and, and th-then p-p-probably k-kill you, and, and, and..."
[01:34] * Logic_Gates just silently glares at Proverb.
[01:35] * Harmony shakes her head, turning her attention away from the note and shrugs. "Do not worry yourself with that, Proverb. I am fine, and we are all alive." She leans in and gives Proverb a light hug.
[01:36] <Proverb> "I'm s-s-s-sorry..." She buries her face into Harmony's coat and hugs back.
[01:38] * Razor reads the new note. She scrunches her nose out of emotional confusion. She just... doesn't know how to feel.
[01:39] * Harmony holds Proverb close, relaxing slightly. "There is nothing for you to be sorry for."
[01:40] * Purple_Kay_ moves his hoof from her withers up to muss her mane. He can't be serious too long. He scribbles "Megamart" on the paper and motions toward the town. He could really use a... dammit.
[01:41] * Logic_Gates agrees, and starts heading that way. "Proverb. You're helping me go ratting. I need a few for experiments."
[01:42] * Harmony releases the hug. "We should be on our way. Purple_Kay will need to rest back at Megamart."
[01:43] <Proverb> "But... but... I n-n-n-nearly g-got M-M-Mister K-Kay killed..." She sniffles, nodding. "I... I guess..."
[01:45] * Harmony kisses Proverb's cheek. "But you did not, and in the end, he will recover. Just let us know next time, please..."
[01:45] * Razor nods to Purple_Kay_. She glances over to the others, and calls out, "Hey! It's time to go!"
[01:47] * Proverb nods, sniffling.
[01:48] * Harmony quickly nibbles on one of Proverb's wings before turning to leave for Megamart. "And do not think you are getting out of your punishment~"
[01:50] * Proverb meeps, and blushes hotly.
[01:50] * Proverb decides to walk along next to Harmony on their way back, rather than fly.
[01:51] * Razor returns to scanning the sky as they head out. She sticks next to Purple_Kay_ as they go, though.
[01:51] * Purple_Kay_ looks around for Green. When he sees the coast is clear he takes his knife and cuts a small hole in the front of the bandage. Just big enough to fit the backend of a cigarette through. He lights it and takes a drag.
[01:57] <TenMihara|GM>  The group manages to make it back to Megamart without getting shot at again
[01:57] <TenMihara|GM>  *****End Session 24*****
