FoE PnP Group 4 Session 50

<uSeaGM> **FoE PnP Group 4 Session 50**
<uSeaGM>
<uSeaGM> That night it started to rain. Quite a lot. If not for Watch_Tower fixing the roof with Sculpt our party would have gotten very wet indeed. Luckily for all involved they are spending the night in the shelter of the old train station around which the Junkyard has formed.
<uSeaGM> Caravanners have also sought shelter in the ruined structure, although since they arrived earlier they were able to choose rooms that already had intact roofs. The local ponies themselves all live inside the mountain beside the Junkyard, behind a giant armoured door in a place they call 'Sanctuary'. Some of them (the guards in particular) don't seem too keen on outsiders.
<uSeaGM> Early morning light steals through cracks in the walls to wake our party. Outside a few market stalls have been set up around the giant door, and from one or two comes the aroma of mushroom soup... very enticing for hungry ponies in need of breakfast. The caravanners are already up and getting ready for their trip back West. None are heading East to Harbourage, our party's destination.
<uSeaGM> *Session begins*
* Milia awakens with a long stretch and a yawn, her stomach rumbling as the delicate aroma of wasteland cuisine wafts about, taunting her. She rubs her eyes, sitting up groggily, before shoving her muzzle into her bags and retrieving her box of tag-a-long not-haunted filly scout cookies. The zebra tears into it, stuffing a couple into her mouth happily. "Mmph...nishe try, shmellsh...but /we/ came prepared!"
<uSeaGM> The Junkyard is still... well, full of junk, only leaving a wide clear area between the station platforms you sheltered in and the great door in the side of the mountain. The caravanners are waiting in turn for their carts to be led out of a 'smaller' opening in the door, while the yellow-bowed Tick Box, your contact from the day before, checks them over with her clipboard.
* Artifica awakes because Milia moves.
* Artifica hmms? groggily.
<uSeaGM> She seems to be busy for a little while, so you have plenty of time to browse wares and fill your hungry bellies... which may not be quite so hungry now.
* Milia finishes the treat happily. She notices Artifica stirring, and can't help but smile at the site. "Morning, sweet-heart." she coos, leaning down and nuzzling the mare gently. "...Want a morning cookie?"
<Milia> ((sight*))
* Artifica smiles.  "I would *love* a morning cookie."
* Notify: mimezinga is online (irc.canternet.org).
* Artifica adds, "I wouldn't mind nibbling on a morning zebra either."
* Karina is now known as Steve
* ChanServ gives channel operator status to mimezinga
* mimezinga is now known as Cerberus
* Cerberus is still sleepingg, because the morning filly catches the worm and she doesn't want to risk to have to nom a worm. blah
* Cerberus instead, she is nomming a tail
* Milia giggles, tackling the mare and leaving the cookies to the wayside...for the moment. "Oh /would/ you now? Well, I think we can arrange that~" she titters, before planting a kiss on Artifica's lips.
* Artifica kisses back, then finds parts of zebra to nibble.  The parts that cause her to make the cutest noises.
* Milia is basically putty in your hooves if you nibble her ear. And, of course, that's exactly where Artifica goes for. A series of whimpering, mewling squeaks escape her, her hind legs jolting occasionally from her marefriend's relentless assault. "A-ah! Oh, goddess that feels nice..."
* Cerberus is stubbormly trying to keep sleeping while chewing her cotton candy in her nice dream.... silly mares...
* Cerberus also, she is totally not dreaming of cotton candy. not at all. she is dreaming of battles and war and doghalla. not cotton candy. doghalla. don't even try thinking about cotton candy. did isay cotton candy? i didn't. i said counter bombing. stol giggling
<Cerberus> *stop
* Godna is now known as Watch_Tower
* Watch_Tower yawns and stirs...he still felt like he could sleep another couple hours...he really over did it with the magic yesterday. He didn't even notice it had rained last night. He opens an eye...seemed safe to relax a little longer just Mils and Arty getting affectionate.
* Milia was doing her best to keep quiet, but she had just woken up, and her will power was sorely lacking at the moment! Her moans and squeaks get gradually louder, and she may or may not be starting to give off a mild scent as a reaction to her marefriend's advances.
* Cerberus opens her eyes and seems in a rush of panic "story time!"
* Watch_Tower slowly and quietly gets up. He at least still had a bit of a headache...,but it was light compared to the harshness of it when he allowed himself to finally rest.
* Cerberus "why nopony ead me the strory! i need a story to sleep, now all my sleep is ruined! i need a story now!"
* Milia jerks up at the sudden outburst. "Agh! Fuck! What?! Story? Where!" she stammers, her face turned a shade of deep crimson. The zebra apparently forgot that she and Artifica were sharing a room with...at least 2 other ponies.
* Cerberus quickly retrieves the squirts book from her saddlegabs and offers it to the first pony in range, with large begging eyes asking for story
* Artifica lays there next to her and looks utterly unapologetic.
* Watch_Tower yawns. "Come on Berry...I'll read it to you."
* Milia simply stares at Cerberus, bleary eyed. "...Berry, it's morning. Isn't that supposed to come /before/ bed time?"
<Watch_Tower> "Everyone find this place alright? I kind of passed out the moment I got a safe place to sleep."
<Cerberus> "yush!" berry trots after her new best pony and sits in front of him
<Watch_Tower> "Nah Morning is when it's okay to sleep...because no one is trying to make you goto bed."
* Watch_Tower yawns again and takes a seat. His heart turns a little when he sees Squirt's book but none the less he opens it.
* Milia fwumps back down next to Artifica. "One of these days, we'll get our own room..." she grumbles, then reaching over and planting another kiss onto the unicorn.
<uSeaGM> Watch reads from a story called 'The Knight of Flowers'. It's about a gallant knight who was the daughter of an Equestrian lord. She travelled the country competing in tournaments and slaying fearsome monsters. Her beauty and skill with a lance were said to rival that of any princess, but her father, suffering from a sickness in his old age, decided that if his daughter were equal to a princess, that made him equal to a king.
<uSeaGM> Some of the other Equestrian lords did not take kindly to one of their number naming himself a king, and marched their armies against him. The Knight of Flowers challenged everypony who was unchivalrous enough to want to disturb her father's final days, and held the passage into their land despite her and the Windknights who served her father being outnumbered by over a hundred to one.
<uSeaGM> She fought lords and their champions yet none could best her, until the end of the third day when she withdrew to her father's castle. When the other lords arrived with their armies they found the castle open and empty. Only the king remained, having passed away peacefully in his bed, wearing a crown of woven flowers.
<uSeaGM> No one knows what happened to the Knight of Flowers, but some say she guards the way still, testing the chivalry of those who wish to pass.
* Cerberus wants to be a knight now. she will be the carboard knight of anything-coloured-enough-to-resemble-a-flower
* Watch_Tower smiles. "That was a good one actually...heh I can think of a few ponies back home that'd love it."
* Cerberus mumbles "how do i become a knight? do i need a steed? how can i ride a steed if i'm a pony myself?"
* Milia was listening in...she sorta wanted to be a knight now too, but will NEVER ADMIT THIS.
* Watch_Tower is technically already a knight? I mean he is wearing NIGHTguard armor :V
<Cerberus> if i put a pony on another pony do i get a knight or an embarassing scene?
* Cerberus ""
<Watch_Tower> "Well I could make a joke...,but I think knighthood is more doing noble deeds and being kind in both word and action and all...or at least tahts what Gold used to say."
* Milia chuckles, wrapping her forelegs around the mare next to her. "You get fun, is what you get."
* Cerberus "i am noble and kind!"
* Watch_Tower chuckles. "well then."
* Watch_Tower looks around his pack wondering if he still had his dried berries were there and finding them pins a branch of them to her cape that Rarity gave her, "I dub thee Sir Berry."
* Artifica nods.  "It was a very nice story."  She licks Milia's other ear.
* Cerberus "yay! and now that i think of it, i HAVE a steed!" the filly sprints to her red racer and jumps out of the house "Knight Berry to the rescueeeee!"
* Milia stifles a yelp.
<Watch_Tower> "Of the..." He looks around at the others trying to thinking of a good connecting title for the group. (I could make a dirty joke here :V) "hmm do we have an name for our group?"
<Watch_Tower> "anyway...I think I have need to find you two some privacy...and keep berry from running over anypony."
* Watch_Tower stands up and heads for the door.
* Milia blinks a few times. "Uhhhh..." She looks over to Artifica, staying quiet for a few moments. ".../do/ we have a name?"
* Cerberus is already charging head down towards the largest, most armored pony in line in front of the town "CHAAAAARGE!"
* Artifica thinks.  "We used to.  But that was back when we had griffins."
* Watch_Tower keeps an eye on berry hoping to keep her outta danger.
<Milia> "...We should totally think up a name for ourselves."  She looks around the room, finding that they're now alone.  "...you know what?  The name can wait." the zebra states, flatly, before climbing back on top of Artifica and returning the licking and nibbling, and /then/ some.
<uSeaGM> Cerberus is on a collision course with a red-cloaked guard in full power armour.
<uSeaGM> Cerberus is on a collision course with a red-cloaked guard in full power armour.
* Watch_Tower floats Cerberus up rotates her 90 degrees and sets her down :V
* Cerberus "PREPARE TO- EEEP! hey, this is not fair! no one mentioned magic in the story! put me down PUT ME DOOOOOWN!"
* Cerberus frowns, crosses her hoofies and sits down, very, very disgrunted with silly cheating magic
<uSeaGM> Cererbus' momentum causes her to collide with a certain important looking mare with a yellow and white bow in her tail. Before the impact the mare manages to squeak: "Oh no, not again!"
* Watch_Tower covers a chuckle and trots up. "sorry about that. She's attempting to joust with whoever is in the area."
* Cerberus smiles at the bowpony "yay! a valiant enemy to fight with!" the little filly recovers and puts herself in a charging stance "i am the knight of flowers, prepare to face defeat!"
* Artifica sinks into bliss with Milia and totally does not care who is watching.
<uSeaGM> Tick Box picks herself up. "Jousting? Um, yes, it can't be helped I suppose." She smiles at Cerberus and waves for the alert guards to relax. "Ah, I used to love that story. I once pretended to be a knight for a whole week."
* Jasmine_Mistplume suddenly crashes through the door leading to the room where Artifica and Milia were. "AH, YES! I FINALLY FOUND YOU GUYS! SCORE!" The bluejay/panther gryphon does a little fistpump...talonpump? as she proceeds to throw herself at the two lovers, tackling them in excitement. "You guys dont stay in one place very long, do you?" The gryphon was wearing hastily cobbled together scraps for armor
<Jasmine_Mistplume> and an old moldy blanket full of holes draped over her like a cloak. The feathers on her neck were pressed in while the feathers around the area were poofed out, as if she had worn something very tight around it previously.
* Watch_Tower chuckles. "well I might have knighted her."
* Cerberus ooohs and seems impressed "you were knight too!? woah, you know lotta stories about knights then!"
* Milia was HAPPILY planted between her marefriend's legs, showing her a special kind of attention (not neglecting her own needs either, mind you), when a random-ass gryphon flies out of nowhere and gives them the old 'home invasion' treatment. She's bowled over by the exceedingly enthusiastic pile of energy and lets out a frustrated shriek.
<Milia> "NO, WHY?!"
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Because It was a pain trying to find you, thats why!" She responds, not understanding the question. "You guys are heros, and I wanna be one too! it mustve taken like 5 or 6 days to even catch up with you!"
* Milia picks herself up after wriggling away from the intruder. An incredulous look makes its way onto her face, and she simply glares at Jasmine for a few moments. "...what the fuck are you talking about, girl? Who /are/ you, even?!"
<uSeaGM> Tick Box nods. "I was. I even begged my dad to take me on Windknight's road and show me the castle that was in the story. They call it King's Rest now... Oh, you're taking the carts for Harbourage aren't you?"
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Im Jasmine! You probably didnt notice me before. I was kind of hurt so I layed low, but I saw everything! You went crazy awesome, just smashing into all the slavers left and right. You were all like..... RRRAAAARGH" Jasmine then balls up a talon and punches other talon, making a 'ppbbblt' and 'krrrshhh' sound with her beak.
<Watch_Tower> "Yeah that'd be us."
* Cerberus looks a bit confused to tick box "uhm.... the what for where? ask dad for that.... i have a ride, have you seen it? it makes me go super fast so i can be faster knight on wheels ever"
* Jasmine_Mistplume seemed to have a couple nasty scars hidden under her feathers if you looked close enough
* Watch_Tower rolls his eyes at the dad comment again. He smiles though, as long as mothers aren't brought into this...he can take a joke.
* Artifica recovers, brushing her mane out of her eyes.  "Hello... Jasmine."
* Milia cocks her head, watching the juvenile display. As she does, Milia spots the ring of matted plumage around her neck, to say nothing of the gryphon's many sizable scars. "W-wait...wait wait...you were one of the slaves? Back at the satellite facility? Holy shit, you FOLLOWED us?!"
* Artifica smiles.  "Pleased to meet you."  She gives the griffin a smile, adding, "That was brave of you.  And determined."
<Watch_Tower> "So where are the carts?"
* Watch_Tower makes a note to visit King's Rest when they are less pressed for time.
* Milia has so many questions. "How did...how did you even track us down? Oh, shit, uh-" she raises a hoof in greeting, after Artifica reminds her she had forgotten her manners.
<Milia> "Yeah, uh...pleased to...meet you."
<uSeaGM> She leans down to Cerberus and smiles. "Then you'll get to see the castle too!" She chuckles. "That's quite a coincidence actually."
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Hey, it wasn't easy!" she said with a chuckle, scratching the back of her head with a talon. She then turned to Artificia and her eyes lit up like you wouldnt believe. "B-brave? YES!" she does another talonpump. "Just like a hero! I'm gonna be one, you'll see!"
<uSeaGM> She glances at her clipboard, then turns to Watch_Tower. "They're both ready. I'll have the carts brought out for you."
* Milia glances over to Artifica. "...she's...chipper."
* Cerberus "i get to pull a cart! lucky cerberus!"
* Artifica agrees.  "Quite."
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Just like you guys! And Daring Do. And Littlepip, too!" Spritebots occasionally got in range of the slavers base, and she would often hear of the stabledwellers exploits.
<Watch_Tower> "well...I think it'll be a little bit before we get to pullthe carts."
<Watch_Tower> "Arti and Milia are kind of indisposed for the next thirty mins or so..."
<uSeaGM> Tick Box laughs. "You might need to let your dad do the pulling. They're pretty heavy."
* Cerberus "nonsense! i'm a big and fierce warrior i fear no cart!"
<Watch_Tower> "well she is pretty mighty...I am sure she could pull the cart...I just might have to float the contents."
* Milia puffs out her chest just a bit. As confused and sexually frustrated as she was at the moment, being compared to both Daring Do and Littlepip in the same sentence may have gone to her head just a bit. And by a bit, I mean a lot. "Oh, well, I mean...we just did what needed to be done...you know...no big deal..."
<uSeaGM> Tick Box taps on the door and talks to a pony through an eye-level shutter. Two carts are brought out of an opening in the door, each filled with bits of metal and sheets of armour plating. The pair of ponies pulling the carts uncouple themselves from the harnesses and head back inside. The door closes behind them.
<uSeaGM> “It's all here. Premium scrap metal, coils of copper wiring, capacitors, old spark matrixes, magi-steel plate (and lots of it!), gas masks and filters (for some reason), crates of ammo...” she looks over the carts piled high with material.
<Watch_Tower> "uhh...right Berry...I think you get to protect the cart actually..."
<uSeaGM> “This is the biggest order we've ever had for Harbourage. I wonder if they're building a new boat or something.” Tick Box chews the end of her pencil thoughtfully. “You know, they haven't come here to trade their fish for a while. I hope the storms haven't been too rough.”
* Jasmine_Mistplume 's eyes widened. "No big deal!? You guys are so AMAZING!" she clasps her talons together "Please please please you GOTTA take me with you! I wanna help! I can do anything you want! While I was a slave I learned lots of stuff! I can hunt! I can even be sneaky and scout around for you! and if your hurt I can probably help with that, too! Anything you want!"
* Cerberus "protect is the thing i do best! no one will pass!" jumps on the cart and starts guarding it with a nap
<uSeaGM> “Hmm, you'll be heading down the Windknight's road. There are no lights in the tunnel, so carry lanterns or bring spare batteries for your unicorns.”
* Milia opens her mouth to comment, but finds herself unable to respond. To call this a sudden development would be like calling outer space 'kinda big'. "Ahhhh....are you...like...Jas, how /old/ are you, even? Are you sure you know what you're asking here?"
<Watch_Tower> "Spare batteries for unicorns....they have those?"
* Artifica cocks her head, pondering.  "The more the merrier... however, you have to pass our leader's inspection."  She adds, "Cerberus has the final say."
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Twelve! But I just cuz Im young doesnt mean I cant pull my weight! I promise Ill be helpful! Just gimme a chance to show you what Im made of!"
* Cerberus is napping... ehr, guarding the carts. brave leader is brave. and fluffy
<uSeaGM> Tick Box tilts her head. "Err, that's a joke. Maybe what they say about surface air is true..."
* Jasmine_Mistplume turns to Artifica and nods excitedly. "You got it!"
* Watch_Tower laughs.
<Watch_Tower> "Look I have seen some strange things."
<Watch_Tower> "I won't deny I wouldn't be surprised if they had something like that."
* Milia glances over to her marefriend. "Well...I guess I'm down with it too, then. Why the fuck not! Who am I to deny the hopes and dreams of a fledgeling cat-bird?"
* Cerberus opens an eye "i've heard about hellhounds being turned into foals.... if that is true, the anything is possible"
* Jasmine_Mistplume seems to be getting really pumped up. She takes a few deep breaths in order to prepare herself for her inspection. "Wheres this Cerberus?"
* Artifica gathers herself a bit more and looks around.  "Where *is* Cerberus?"
* Milia lets out a deep sigh. "...out...somewhere. Probably. I guess we should go look for her and Watch...I mean they can't be /that/ hard to find, right?"
<Milia> "Worst comes to worst, we can just follow the scorch marks from her haulin' ass on her scooter!"
* Cerberus os guardsing a cart, sitting on top of it lika a big puce fuzzball
* Artifica shakes her head.  "Already at work while we're laying around.  That's our leader.  I bet she even has the carts already."
<uSeaGM> Her job done, Tick Box goes off to organise the other caravans.
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Scorchmarks, right!" Immediately, Jamine looked at the floor, seeing the scorches, and rushed off as fast as she made her entrance. "CEEERRRBEEERUUUUUUUUS LEEEET MEEEEEE JOOOOIIIIN YOOOOOOOOU"
<Watch_Tower> "uhh Berry watch the cart I've got to go interupt two ponies."
* Watch_Tower heads to go find Arti and Mils.
<uSeaGM> The various stalls sell mushroom soup (reminding you that a proper breakfast is needed), clothes, barding, tools, knick knacks, and the grizzled stallion you saw yesterday is back with his selection of guns and ammo.
* Cerberus charging stuff. no wait, charging griffin... predator. defend. berry rapidly takes out the laser pistol and points it at the incoming threat
* Milia lets out a chuckle. "Truly, our glorious leader is the glue that binds us toge-" her half-sarcastic lauding is cut short by a screaming gryphon. "...she's insane. She's an insane person, isn't she?"
* Milia is reminded of where she came from, and a grimace creeps onto her face. "Ugh...poor thing."
* Cerberus and the menace is even yelling stuff. ojay, this is knight stuff. who cares range advantage! the filly puts the gun away and jumps at the griffon face with her own battlecry "YIPPEEEE!"
* Watch_Tower knocks on the open door to their room. "uhh...hello?"
* Jasmine_Mistplume looks up and sees the scorchmarks stop at a little filly. A filly with a gun. Of course! This must be part of the inspection. She was testing her in order to see if she's combat ready. With a grin, she leaps up and starts gliding towards her.
* Milia rolls her eyes as soon as she hears the soft knocking on the door. "Yeah, yeah, we're decent." she drones, exasperated.
* Jasmine_Mistplume loses the ability to see, as the little filly jumps up onto her face. She starts to crash into everything making lots of noise in the process. "Aha- you are a worthy opponent! No wonder you're the leader!"
* Watch_Tower trots in. "oh good."
<Watch_Tower> "umm we've got the carts ready....they look quite heavy."
* Cerberus "no, no wait! turn right!" MY right! that's your left! my left isyour left! stop turning on the- oh crap that was pricey i bet...."
* Cerberus the filly finally lets go the birdcat face
<uSeaGM> Tick Box can't help but watch in amazement. "How can so much chaos come from such a small pony?"
* Artifica hears the noise outside.  "Bet you that Jasmine has found our leader."
* Milia facehooves. "Right...carts. Harborage. Mission. We have a gryphon, now, Watch Tower, did you know that? A gryphon's gonna be travelling with us."
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "This is all part of the -ACK- test, isnt it?! You wont -OOF- trick me!" She exclaims, doing the exact opposite of her directions, before Berry finally lets go of her face. "Ah-HA! VICTOR-" She was unable to finish that sentence before she finally crashed into a wall
* Milia pouts a bit, hearing the series of loud, violent sounding crashes come from outside. "I can already feel our caps draining away..."
* Watch_Tower chuckles. "My uncle would approve."
* Cerberus me the foal tilts her head "so.... let me guess... you want in the ballet company and you showed me a sample... ah... i'm sorry, we're mercenaries, not a ballet company..."
* Jasmine_Mistplume holds her head as she lies flat on her back. "Oooh boy. Someone oughta.... they need to watch where they build walls." She groans as she picks herself up. She shakes herself off, before turning towards Cerberus. "Wait, what? No! Im not a ballerina! Im a hero, like you! Well, more like an... aspiring hero? A hero in training?"
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Regardless! Im one of those!"
<Watch_Tower> "Lets go deal with the carts."
<Watch_Tower> "and rescue the town from Berry." He chuckles and heads on out again.
* Cerberus frowns "you... are a griffon. i had griffin friends. they got killed." the foal seems  a little less silly than expected "tell me, please... what is the most important trait of a hero?"
* Milia keeps her tail lowered over her still flushed nethers as she exits the shelter. "...friggin'...universe hates me...I swear...stupid hormones..." she grumbles.
* Artifica pulls on her barding and battle saddle, gathers her supplies, and follows Watch_Tower out... using telekinesis to float a comb through her mane, and using her hips to put a little extra sway in her step for Milia.
* Milia whimpers, her ears pinning back to the sides of her head as she trots behind Artifica, eyes fixed on the mare's rear.
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "A hero must always be brave! A hero must always fight for what is right, and not for what is convenient! A hero always helps those in need! A hero will sacrifice themselves in order to make the world a better place! That is what a hero is and that is what heroes do!" She says with a look of determination.
<Watch_Tower> "You know I'm surprised you two didn't do it back when we were resting at Rarity's place. You had the privacy back then."
* Watch_Tower hears that last bit from Jasmine as they approach. "Woah...Deja vu..."
* Cerberus sighs "a hero is a living example of what everyone could be... living, that's the point. heroes survive so that they'll do even better the next time and everypony will know that it is possible to go beyonf the limits they believed unsurpassable... so... you want to come with us?"
* Milia glares so hard at Watch Tower she is in danger of burning a hole straight through his helmet. Thankfully, before she does, they come upon their newly recruited member, who appears to be giving quite the speech to their glorious leader!
* Cerberus "then, don't die."
* Watch_Tower prooves resistant to death glares.
<Jasmine_Mistplume> Cerberus' retort gave her slight room for pause, but she steeled herself and nodded. "Yes ma'am! I promise I won't die! After all, a hero will always triumph over evil!"
* Watch_Tower laughs. "this group is starting to remind me more and more of home."
* Cerberus "also, if i was red beak i'd try to infiltrate one of my chickens into the group that gave me a whole lot of problems... but hey... at this point i could sound paranoid, do i? welcome aboard. somepony here keeps the caps, ask around if you need stuff"
* Milia raises a hoof. "Cap-keeper Milia, at your service, o Knight of Flowers." she deadpans, before catching a glimpse of the damage Jasmine and Berry had caused with their tussle. "Well..."
<Milia> "...it coulda been worse."
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Wait, you're a knight?! Thats so cool! What land are you from?! Do you live in a castle?! Are there a lot more knights or is it just you?"
* Cerberus "well, i'm knight of the flowers at the moment, i defend carts and a pass... i still have no idea of where the pass is..."
<uSeaGM> Speaking of damages, the owner of a clothes stall knocked over during the engagement heads over to the group with a cross look on her face. "Just look at what your children have done! All my wares are covered in dirt! I demand compensation."
<Watch_Tower> "The Pass is on our way Sir Berry."
* Watch_Tower looks to Artifica. "Don't you have a cleaning spell?"
* Jasmine_Mistplume looks over at the shop owner. "O-oh.. well... um... we're heroes, you know! We're all out saving the wasteland so.... d'you think you could forgive me just this once?" As a former slave, she didnt exactly have any caps on hand. "U-uhm.. well, I DO have some food, if you want some!" Jasmine pulls out what appears to be a dead rodent. "Hunted it just this morning! Its fresh!"
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "It also tastes really good with these herbs I got!" she pulls out some herbs
* Milia saw this coming. She intercepts the angry stall owner and attempts to defuse the situation. "Woah, woah, woah, now...come on, let's stay calm here, pal. Here, how about we just...clean up a bit and call it good? Nothing got ruined, after all. It was just a little accident!"
<uSeaGM> The store owner looks at Jasmine in horror. "Peggasauruses are crazy..."
* Milia glances over to Jasmine's offering. She turns back to the stall owner. "...and apparently you're getting some ambiguous meat out of the deal, too. Whaddaya say?"
<uSeaGM> She turns to Milia. "Well... you'd better. Nopony is going to buy dirty clothes afterall... just keep your meat to yourselves."
* Milia goes for the killshot: lazy guilt tripping. "Dude...dude...come on, you're cool, right? Be cool."
* Jasmine_Mistplume blinks, a little hurt that her offer was rejected. She shrugs and laughs a bit. "Well, okay then. Your loss!" She says, before popping the rodent into her beak, starting to chew it.
* Milia lets out a sigh of relief. "*Phew*...alright, great, sure. We'll have it straightened up in no time."
* Cerberus licks a dirty dress to see if it gets better
* Watch_Tower gets to cleaning what he can.
* Milia sticks her tongue out as Jasmine devours the small animal whole. "Blech, gryphon food...give me cookies any day." she comments, before joining in on the cleaning.
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Dunt knok it ntil oo dry it!" Jasmine manages to eke out as she chewed her food.
* Cerberus is chewing one of the clothes. cutie mark crusaders dress nommers go!
* Artifica casts her cleaning spell, removing all offending dirt.
<uSeaGM> Working together, the group soon cleans the clothes (which turned out to be less dirty than the owner thought) and leaves them neatly folded back on the stall... except for some underwear which Cerberus is busy nomming.
* Milia furrows her brow as she uses her tail to sweep away the dirt on a quartet of socks. "I /have/ tried it! Why do you think I'm grossed out!"
* Jasmine_Mistplume finally swallows, and blinks at Milia. She snickers a bit. "Oh, that explains it!" she said with a smile.
<uSeaGM> Seeing Jasmine eat reminds your stomaches that breakfast is needed. They let you know with a chorus of rumbling.
* Milia cocks her head at Jasmine, trying to decipher any sort of deeper emotion to the gryphon's demeanor. The cheeriness was a bit unsettling, given what she knew about Jasmine's past. "Yeah...mystery solved..." she mutters. "Speaking of food...anypony wanna grab breakfust...lunch...brunch?"
* Watch_Tower 's stomach rumbles loudly too. "I think I could go for eating a days worth of food..."
* Cerberus s hungry too... chewing underwear is not helping very much
* Milia chuckles. "Uh-huh, ditto. The first thing I ate today wasn't much, and I got interrupted before I got to finish eating the second thing, so..."
* Milia shakes her head. "Right, yeah, food. Before I say anything else stupid."
* Jasmine_Mistplume stretches out her wings. "Nah, Im stuffed. Can I join you though? I wanna hear all about your heroic deeds as you valiantly made your way across the wasteland!"
* Watch_Tower chuckles.
* Milia laughs at Jasmine's comment. "Hey, of course. You're part of the team now, right Jas? That means where we go, you go."
* Milia mutters under her breath. "Though you'd /probably/ do that, regardless..."
* Cerberus "i'm more eager to tell you how the other griffins i knew died... so maybe you'll avoind their mistakes"
* Jasmine_Mistplume lights up like a Hearthswarming Tree. It almost looked like she was basking in afterglow. "I really am, arent I? Part of the team.... I.. really am!"
<uSeaGM> One of the stalls sell bowls of hot mushroom soup. 2 caps a bowl.
* Jasmine_Mistplume smiles at Cerberus. "Ah, well this is the wasteland! But I'll make sure that stuff like that never happens again! Promise!"
* Jasmine_Mistplume seemed to remain optimistic when everyone elses mood would be killed by such a comment
* Milia nods at Jasmine, watching her response carefully to Cerberus' comment. "Yep. For all the good and bad that comes with it."
* Milia forks over the caps to get four bowls of soup. "Soup's on!"
* Artifica licks her lips.  "Soup!"
* Artifica cannot hide her hunger now that soup is before her.
* Cerberus "mh, soup... count me in"
* Milia hoofs over a bowl to each of her pony companions, before taking her own in hoof and practically guzzling the entire thing in an instant.
* Artifica attempts a more cultured guzzling, but being famished kicks in.
* Watch_Tower 's bowl is empty before he even knows it. Magic it takes a lot out of ya.
* Milia lets out a happy little sigh, now that the rumbling in her stomach had subsided. "Ahhh...now time for some retail therapy. I need these powerhooves to sparkle like new before I cover them in gore!" she announces cheerfully.
<Watch_Tower> "I need ammo...,and I guess a ranged weapon that doesn't explode."
* Cerberus "i need ammo too..."
* Milia tosses the zebra rifle their group had picked up over to Watch Tower. "Thinkfast!"
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "I use my talon, so I dont need anything!" Jasmine exclaims.... clad in her makeshift crud armor and molded over rotten blanket cloak
* Milia gives Jasmine a good, long look up and down. "...yeah...you need armor there, Ms. Heroine. You won't be saving anypony if you get roasted by the first enemy we see."
<Jasmine_Mistplume> "Oh..." Jasmine gave a nervous chuckle. "Well, okay then! I need something, then!
<uSeaGM> With our party thinking about stuff to buy, we leave them until next time.
<uSeaGM> **End of Session for Group 4**
