  1. [14:47] <TenMihara|GM> *****PnP Group 13, Hoofington Sucks: Session 61*****
  2. [14:50] <TenMihara|GM> Puzzles
  3. [14:50] <TenMihara|GM> There are many things encountered in life that are a mystery to be solved
  4. [14:51] <TenMihara|GM> Everything from the history of the great war, to why that mare doesn't like you
  5. [14:52] <TenMihara|GM> Small puzzles, like finding the password to a terminal amidst lines of code
  6. [14:52] <TenMihara|GM> Or Large ones, like trying to track down what happened to someone almost two centuries dead
  7. [14:53] <TenMihara|GM> For some, puzzles are a way to keep themselves occupied for a little while
  8. [14:53] <TenMihara|GM> For others, a puzzle or mystery can become the defining aspect of their life choices
  9. [14:55] <TenMihara|GM> Whether big or small, long or short, everypony has some things they want to figure out
  10. [14:56] <TenMihara|GM> What mysteries lie in wait for our wastelanders to solve?
  11. [14:56] <TenMihara|GM> I guess we'll find out...
  12. [14:56] <TenMihara|GM> *****Session Begins*****
  13. [14:59] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy and Green are, or were, doing stuff in Green's room at the Collegiate (which was provided for him by Logic), while Proverb naps in Logic's own room. Rime and Logic are somewhere doing something, and Razor is with Smelter, considering possible celebratory measures.
  14. [15:00] * Logic was getting the bug on a wheely stretcher so that he could take it to the medical lab!
  15. [15:03] * Proverb naps!
  16. [15:03] <TenMihara|GM> Triage blinks as Logic suddenly appears in her lab. "No wonder you gave short stack a heart attack."
  17. [15:05] * Logic blinks. Oh! Right! He can teleport! And he just did! He forgets that sometime. "Hey, get this thing prepped for brain surgery. I need some brains... Surgeoned." He blinked. "I want you to take an organ out of this thing's brain."
  18. [15:06] <TenMihara|GM> Triage gives logic a flat look. "Why?"
  19. [15:08] * Logic half-lids his eyes and opens his mouth, and then pauses to take a moment to actually contemplate what he's about to say. "It's using bio energy to sustain a telepathy spell over a distance. I want the telepathy spell removed."
  20. [15:09] <TenMihara|GM> Triage blinks. "You want this thing's brain removed so it can't read minds?"
  21. [15:10] * Logic facehoofs. "No, I want a superfluous organ removed from it's brain so that whatever's breaking it's mind will stop breaking it's mind so I can work on it."
  22. [15:11] <TenMihara|GM> Triage nods, "Oh. Which part of its brain is the superfluous one?"
  23. [15:12] * Logic hoofs her the research that the biologist pony gave him. "I am not a doctor pony."
  24. [15:12] <TenMihara|GM> Triage snickers, "Clearly not." She takes the folder and begins flipping through it. "Huh... this is actually kinda neat. I thought this thing was just some mutant giant bug."
  25. [15:13] * Logic blinks. "It isn't?"
  26. [15:15] <TenMihara|GM> Triage gives Logic another flat look. "No. It has aspects of both equine and insectoid biology. It also has a relatively stable taint induced mutation. Those are rare. Only other ones I know are Hellhounds off hoof, but they don't come around Hoofington. Mercifully."
  27. [15:17] <TenMihara|GM> Triage flips another page, "This thing used to be a changeling, right?"
  28. [15:18] * Logic frowns, then puts on a snarky expression. "Yes. Now it's something less. If I get this right, it'll be something more."
  29. [15:18] * Green_Field and Daisy do stuff! Like get food. Food is good.
  30. [15:20] <TenMihara|GM> Triage continues to scan the folder, "And who's paying for the operation?"
  31. [15:21] * Logic sighs. "Eventually? Somepony from the Reapers."
  32. [15:22] <TenMihara|GM> Triage frowns, "I don't do eventually. You want something like this done, I need caps up front."
  33. [15:23] * Logic puts on a long face. "How much?"
  34. [15:24] <TenMihara|GM> Triage looks over the notes, "Something delicate and intensive like this, I'd say at least a thousand."
  35. [15:26] * Logic frowny faces. "Hold that thought." Pop! To the financial center!
  36. [15:28] <TenMihara|GM> The mare behind the student finance office counter yelps and falls backwards in her chair
  37. [15:28] * Logic points at the mare behind the counter. "I need money."
  38. [15:31] <TenMihara|GM> The mare sits back up a bit shakily. "Name?" she asks, trying to fix her glasses and bow tie, attempting to look a little more dignified
  39. [15:32] * Logic sighs. "Logic Gates."
  40. [15:43] <TenMihara|GM> The mare types in something on her terminal. There's a buzzing sound. "It seems like you've withdrawn your limit for this month Mister Gates."
  41. [15:45] * Logic grumps. "Can I take out a day loan? The project's being done on behalf of the Reapers and they're paying after it gets done." He pauses dramatically and scruffs his chin. "Plus, I'd hate to see what happens whenever mutant taintlings swarm over this place because the anesthetic wore off before they could remove the telepathic tumor. It would put a damper on my plans."
  42. [15:46] <TenMihara|GM> The mare frowns and raises an eyebrow, "Is that a threat? If you just wanted to take out a loan, you can do so. Any amounts not repaid are held against your future grants."
  43. [15:50] * Logic shrugs and closes his eyes. "I don't really make threats. I'm bad at doing that." He nods whenever he hears tale of loans. "I'd like to do that. I'll repay you literally in a couple of hours to a day."
  44. [15:51] * Razor makes her way over to get her injuries treated, after saying her goodbyes to her mom. After that, she needs to see a pony about some prize money...
  45. [15:51] <TenMihara|GM> The mare flips through some papers and hands Logic a clipboard with a pencil. "You wanted a thousand, right? Just sign here."
  46. [15:52] * Logic gives the clipboard a cursory read before signing it if everything's in order.
  47. [15:54] <TenMihara|GM> It just details, with more legal jargon, what the mare told him. Repayment is required within one month or the amount borrowed is taken from the following month's grant amount. The loan cannot exceed the amount one would normally be granted in that same month.
  48. [15:54] <TenMihara|GM> The mare takes the form and files it, then trots away fro a minute. She comes back with a sack and hoofs it across to Logic
  49. [15:55] * Logic takes it, gives a grateful nod, then pops back to Triage's den. "Money." He said, plopping the sack at her hooves.
  50. [15:57] <TenMihara|GM> Triage blinks, "That was quick. However, I should warn you that I already helped with one eight hour procedure today, and I didn't get a lot of sleep. Do you want to wait until tomorrow?"
  51. [15:58] * Logic looks at the bug in question. "Depends," he said, "Can you keep that thing knocked out?"
  52. [16:00] <TenMihara|GM> Triage looks it over, "What is it sedated with?"
  53. [16:03] * Logic blushes when he realizes he's not entirely sure how much of each chemical the biologist used. He rolls his hoof to gesture her to open the portfolio and to check for herself.
  54. [16:04] <TenMihara|GM> Triage flips a through pages, "Oh, here it is." She runs her eye down the short list of components for the specialized bug tranqs. "
  55. [16:05] <TenMihara|GM> Triage looks to Logic, "I have all of this except the pesticide." She checks the notes again, "Okay, so I can probably keep this thing down for a few hours, but using these too often might hurt its immune system."
  56. [16:06] * Logic frowns. "Is 'too often' tomorrow?"
  57. [16:06] <TenMihara|GM> Triage shakes her head, "No, that would be good enough for me to catch some real z's."
  58. [16:09] * Logic sighs out of relief, not just exasperation out of the obstacles in his way this time. Equine or otherwise. "Good. Knock it out, then remove the organ tomorrow. Can you have it's skull recovered by then? I'd like to get done with my part of the procedure as quickly as possible before there's any ill effect on it's immune system."
  59. [16:11] <TenMihara|GM> Triage raises an eyebrow, "Uh... frankly I really have no idea. Doing something like this might kill it, or leave it brain dead if I mess up."
  60. [16:22] * Logic exhales a puff of air. "Then we'll at least know that there's the potential for a particular psychic signal to fry all the taintlings in an area. And it's because of the latter that you're not doing this alone."
  61. [16:23] <TenMihara|GM> Traige blinks, "I'm not?"
  62. [16:24] * Logic shakes his head. "Nope. You'll have Green_Field with you in the operating room."
  63. [16:25] <TenMihara|GM> Triage nods, "Ah. Well he's good, I know that for a fact. Why not just get him to do it?"
  64. [16:26] * Logic half-lids his eyes. "'Cause I'm not taking any chances because I don't want to have to get another one. You're both doing it."
  65. [16:29] <TenMihara|GM> Triage nods, "I can respect that I guess. So, tomorrow then?"
  66. [16:30] * Logic nods sadly. He was hoping to get this done immediately, but it's just one more obstacle in the way.
  67. [16:31] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter slips her helmet back on and follows Razor to the small clinic at the Collegiate. She stops at the door and lets Razor go in, waiting
  68. [16:32] * Razor heads inside. She's not too bad off, but she'd rather get this done sooner than later.
  69. [16:34] <TenMihara|GM> Razor can see the doctor there, setting and locking Derail's jaw in place. The stallin silently nods to Razor as she enters.
  70. [16:38] <TenMihara|GM> *Stallion
  71. [16:38] <TenMihara|GM> Triage looks to Logic, "Mind watching this thing while I go get some of that pesticide for the tranq
  72. [16:38] <TenMihara|GM> ?"
  73. [16:40] * Logic nods. And right when she left the room and was sure that nopony was watching, he felt a wave of fatigue overwhelm him. He slumped up against the wall, took off his ball cap, and just slowly flopped down on the ground. All of his worries were just piling up and there was no sign that it would ever stop. There was no promise that any of this would get him closer to getting recognized in the...
  74. [16:40] * Logic ...Collegiate, there was no promise that any of this would make him get his cutie mark. He had entertained the idea that he'd die without having it, but it always seemed like his abilities would see him through. Here? Now? Nothing depended on him. His destiny was ultimately in the hooves of others. And he didn't like this at all.
  75. [16:42] * Razor smirks and finds a spot she can sprawl out while she waits. "Tough luck out there! Ha, that looked like it hurt."
  76. [16:44] <TenMihara|GM> Derail frowns a bit, then shrugs. The medic looks to Razor, "I'll be with you just as soon as I finish setting his jaw."
  77. [16:46] * Razor waves a hoof at the doc. "Yeah, yeah, I got it."
  78. [16:47] * Logic , yet again, felt scared and vulnerable and broken and like he was off the rails of his own life, heading for nowhere good. He didn't shed a tear when he eventually recovered. It merely seemed like he had a weight on his shoulders too heavy for his shoulders, watched the bug, and waited for the doctor to return.
  79. [16:47] <TenMihara|GM> Triage eventually comes back and starts mixing up the custom sedative on a hotplate
  80. [16:49] <TenMihara|GM> Triage glances at Logic with her good eye. "What's eatin' you kid?"
  81. [16:50] <TenMihara|GM> The medic finishes with Derail, then moves over to Razor. "Well, at least you don't have anything broken." The earth pony mare pulls out two healing potions to administer.
  82. [16:50] <TenMihara|GM> Derail waves a hoof at Razor, almost in a congratulatory manner.
  83. [16:52] * Logic avoided eye contact, looking down at her legs with those blank green eyes that somehow seemed to be looking looking inward into his head. "Tired." He mentioned.
  84. [16:58] * Razor smirks. "Just a few scratches, nothing serious. I might not even be in here, but I /do/ have to keep fit, you know?"
  85. [16:59] <TenMihara|GM> Triage raises an eyebrow, "What is -actually- bothering you?"
  86. [17:00] <TenMihara|GM> Derail gives Razor a deadpan look
  87. [17:03] * Razor is enjoying herself, playing it up. "I mean, yeah, I'd want to get checked up before another fight, but it ain't a broken jaw, right?" She gives Derail a smug sort of grin.
  88. [17:06] <TenMihara|GM> Derail scowls as best he can. He can't even mumble disparagingly.
  89. [17:24] * Logic just stares. "I've been looking for my cutie mark for years now. I wonder if it'll ever come, of if the measure of a pony is in what they're not good at." He comments.
  90. [17:25] <TenMihara> Triage raises an eyebrow, "Uh... what? How old are you?"
  91. [17:33] <TenMihara> Derail just kinda flops down, frowning a bit at Razor
  92. [17:33] * Logic smiled sad. "Fifteen or sixteen."
  93. [17:34] * Missile_Rush is somewhere! His player isn't actually quite sure where.
  94. [17:34] <TenMihara> Triage blinks in surprise, "Wait, seriously? Damn kid, that's harsh."
  95. [17:35] <TenMihara> The medic gives Razor two more potions
  96. [17:36] * Logic shrugs, then just looks kinda blank for a moment. And with that heavy weight, he made his way back to his room. "Good evening." He said on his way out.
  97. [17:37] * Proverb yawns, blinking her eye open slowly and stretching. She felt a bit better, stretching her wings out before collecting her equipment. She looks down at her relatively newly aquired SVD. She still needed to zero in the scope on it. She hmms, wondering if one of the Zodiacs would be up for a little shooting to help her with it. She trots out of the room.
  98. [17:37] * Proverb starts down the hallway, not really knowing where to start as she looked around for Zodiac members, wandering through the Colligate.
  99. [17:40] * Rime||P wanders the halls, letting her mind wander too.
  100. [17:41] * Razor drinks the potions without fuss. She's feeling pretty good right now, and not much could dampen her enthusiasm.
  101. [17:42] * Missile_Rush is likely trotting with Rime, quiet as he is wont to be.
  102. [17:45] <TenMihara> The medic looks Razor over, "Good enough. A night of rest should take care of the little nicks left." She looks to Derail, "I'm keeping you here overnight."
  103. [17:45] <TenMihara> Derail groans
  104. [17:51] <TenMihara> Triage actually looks at Logic with a bit of pity
  105. [17:54] * Razor snickers a bit. "That's good! I have a pony to see about a prize. You done, then?"
  106. [17:55] <TenMihara> The medic nods. "Go for it."
  107. [17:58] <TenMihara> Smelter waits outside for Razor
  108. [17:58] * Razor gladly takes her leave of the doctor and Derail in favor of finding the pony she needs to see to get her prize money!
  109. [17:59] <TenMihara> Smelter taps Razor on the shoulder and leads her to the betting office. Switchpost is there collecting a modest sum of winnings. He smirks as Razor approaches, "I figure if X endorses you, you're probably a safe bet." He chuckles
  110. [18:01] <TenMihara> As Proverb makes her way through the halls, Sagittarius passes by, heading for a stairwell.
  111. [18:02] * Proverb pauses, turning around and following after Sagittarius. "Hey, Sagittarius right?"
  112. [18:03] <TenMihara> Sagittarius blinks and turns to look at the small pegasus. "Greetings. Let's see... Proverb, yes?"
  113. [18:04] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Mhm, that's me!" She says, trotting up next to him. "Are you free?" She asks him.
  114. [18:05] * Razor gives Switchpost a grin. "Well /I/ knew who would win, but, I can see how some ponies might be uninformed."
  115. [18:06] <TenMihara> Sagittarius blinks, "Well, I am not currently pusuing any assignments. Did you need something?"
  116. [18:07] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Mhm, I need to zero in the scope on this rifle I just got, and was wondering if you would be up for a little shooting."
  117. [18:07] * Rime||P wanders her way up higher into tge building. Enjoying the quiet. Seems Sparky can be taught, although shes unsure why hes decided to tag along.
  118. [18:08] * Missile_Rush is indeed being quiet as he follows Rime|P, hooves clopping on the ground lightly. The duster-clad, hat-wearing pegasus won't admit it to himself, but he actually finds the name "Sparky" rather endearing. Shhh, don't tell anyone!
  119. [18:18] <TenMihara> Sagittarius looks at the mini pegasus. "I see. What exactly do you need? The collegiate doesn't have its own firing range, but I have a small practice set up for my own perposes."
  120. [18:20] * Proverb smiles up at the large zebra. "Well, what kind of targets does your practice range have, and what ranges are they at?"
  121. [18:22] <TenMihara> Sagittarius, "Well, it's just one haybale with a paper target, and I stand as far back as I need to."
  122. [18:23] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "You think we could set up another one?"
  123. [18:25] * Logic heads his way back to his room. Upon meeting Proverb, he would stay silent and go to the corner to sleep.
  124. [18:25] * Proverb is no longer in Logic's room.
  125. [18:25] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "I suspect so. I know the important of making sure your weapon is adequately strung." He begins leading her towards the grounds.
  126. [18:25] * Logic would then not say anything when going to sleep!
  127. [18:26] * Proverb nods to Sagi, giggling softly as she glided after him.
  128. [18:29] <TenMihara> Sagittarius leads Proverb to the grounds behind the dormitory building, after stopping to get his bow and some arrows, as well as some frest targets.
  129. [18:31] * Proverb sighs down the range with her SVD, wiping the scope off a little. "Hmm... let's see..." She looks to see how far back she could be from the targets.
  130. [18:33] <TenMihara> Sagittarius stands on his hindlegs and pulls back his bowstring, arrow nocked. He gazes down the arrow from a hundred yards and fires it at the target
  131. [18:35] <TenMihara> Sagittarius hits the target dead center
  132. [18:36] * Proverb backs up to about 175 yards, aiming down the sights. She gently bites down on the bit trigger, and her SVD barks sharply, the report echoing off the walls of the building. She's aiming at the dead center of the target.
  133. [18:42] <TenMihara> Proverb puts her shot dead center. Hay goes flying
  134. [18:44] * Proverb grins, the spent casing flying off to her left as the gun cycled. "Well... that was either really lucky, or it's zeroed in already." She fires a second shot aimed at the same spot to confirm.
  135. [18:45] <TenMihara> Switchpost chuckles, "How about you X. Any surprises?" Smelter simply shakes her head.
  136. [18:45] <TenMihara> Switchpost nods, "Figured as much."
  137. [18:51] <TenMihara> Proverb's shot goes way wide
  138. [18:52] <TenMihara> Sagitarius steps back to join Proverb and pulls out another arrow. He starts squinting, but lets fly
  139. [18:52] * Proverb hmmms. "Yep, first one was lucky." She twists the knobs on her scope, making adjustments before firing again.
  140. [19:00] <TenMihara> Sagittarius manages to very nearly peg the bullseye from this distance
  141. [19:00] <TenMihara> Sagittarius chuckles, "I don't usually snipe from this distance if I can help it."
  142. [19:02] * Proverb giggles softly, nodding to Sagi. "Yeah, heh. That's for these sorts of weapons." She pats her SVD. She assumes she hits the bullseye once again, and fires off a fourth shot after making some minor adjustments.
  143. [19:05] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods. He slings his bow over his shoulder wit hhis quiver
  144. [19:06] * Proverb reloads her magazine, putting the safety on and slinging the rifle. "You're a pretty good shot Sagi."
  145. [19:08] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "It takes a lot of training to use a weapon like this effectively." He turns up one of his forehooves, showing a nail in one of his horseshoes that looks like a little hook.
  146. [19:10] * Proverb nods to Sagi, smiling. "Ohh, I bet. This is the same weapon I was originally trained to snipe on by my dad." She says, patting the wooden stock of her SVD.
  147. [19:14] <TenMihara> Sagittarius, "My mother passed down the tradition of this ancient wepaon."
  148. [19:17] * Proverb nods to Sagi, smiling. "Could I try and shoot it once?"
  149. [19:18] <TenMihara> Sagittarius shakes his head, "It requires a custom shoe to use, and I suspect the tautness of the string would be tricky for someone of your size."
  150. [19:19] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Aww... okay." She shrugs, trotting along next to him happily.
  151. [19:20] <TenMihara> Sagittarius looks at her rifle, "DId you manage to get what you needed done?"
  152. [19:25] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Mhm! All zeroed in!"
  153. [19:25] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "I would hate for your companions to suffer for an improperly sighted weapon."
  154. [19:30] * Proverb nods to Sagi, smiling. "Yeah, this thing's accurate out to half-a-mile, or about 800 meters!"
  155. [19:30] * Razor trots over to the pony taking care of betting prizes. "I'm here to collect my prize!" She grins, and turns back to Switchpost. "I'm no pushover, I can tell you that! You'd do good to keep betting on the winning mare."
  156. [19:32] <TenMihara> Sagittarius blinks, "How many yards is that?"
  157. [19:33] <TenMihara> Switchpost smirks and stands next to X. The mare at the booth looks to Razor, then looks down a sheet. "Okay so, according to Big Daddy, you're entitled to move up to rank 44, and Derail is down to 45. As well, your portion of the winnings." She shuffles around a bit
  158. [19:34] * Razor has the biggest grin on her smug little face!
  159. [19:34] * Proverb smiles at Sagi. "About, mmm, 875 yards."
  160. [19:34] <TenMihara> X smirks under her helmet
  161. [19:35] <TenMihara> Switchpost looks to Razor, "Got any plans with your caps?"
  162. [19:37] <TenMihara> Sagittarius blinks, "That is rather amazing. Why would you need to engage a target from such distance?"
  163. [19:39] <Proverb> "Stealth." She replies to Sagi. "At that distance the noise of the shot takes longer to reach the target, and you are very hard to hit at that distance, if at all." She says.
  164. [19:39] * Razor thinks for a moment. "Well... I need to get my armor fixed. And I might want to see if I can do anything with this claw weapon... But I'm not sure what else I have, right now, to spend on."
  165. [19:40] * Rime|P continues her meandering.
  166. [19:41] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "I usually prefer closer range engagements. My weapon simply will not work that far."
  167. [19:43] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Different weapons are good for different situations." She says. "Like my pistol, I use it for CQC engagements, my Markspony Carbine is for medium and short range fighting, while my battle rifle is for taking on smoozlings with incindeary rounds and using other specialty ammo."
  168. [19:48] <TenMihara> Sagittarius blinks, "Smoozlings/"
  169. [19:48] <TenMihara> ?
  170. [19:49] * Rime|P sighs lightly. She's never been in this level before. She chews her lower lip, worrying over Razor and Logic and all the shit going on.
  171. [19:49] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Smoozlings, or taintlings. They're these... blob things that are made out of taint." She says.
  172. [19:51] <TenMihara> Sagittarius blinks, "I believe I have heard mention of these things before. They attacked Chapel did they not?"
  173. [19:51] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Yeah, that's where we first encountered them."
  174. [19:53] <TenMihara> Sagittarius frowns. "Do you know where they came from?"
  175. [19:54] * Proverb shakes her head. "I'm not sure, to be honest..."
  176. [19:55] <TenMihara> Sagittarius frowns. "THat is unfortunate. What about your friend Harmony? Did she ever manage to clear her name?"
  177. [19:57] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "She did, but... now she doesn't know if she loves me anymore. I was going to propose to her..." She sighs.
  178. [19:59] <TenMihara> Sagittarius raises an eyebrow, "Why would you propose to someone who doesn't love you?"
  179. [19:59] <Proverb> "Well... Wh-when I asked her the first time I didn't know that she felt like that..."
  180. [20:01] <TenMihara> Sagittarius frowns, "Why did you not ask her about how she was feeling after her ordeal?"
  181. [20:01] * Rime|P lets her curiosity lead her, trying to distract herself from her worry.
  182. [20:02] * Proverb sighs, her ears drooping. "I... I d-don't know..." She pauses for a moment. "I sh-should have though... fuck..."
  183. [20:04] <TenMihara> Rime eventually finds Virgo's lab again
  184. [20:04] <TenMihara> Switchpost look at Razor's weapon, "That is a beaut. Where'd you get it?"
  185. [20:05] <TenMihara> The mare at the counter gives Razor a sack of caps. "Eleven hundred and fifty."
  186. [20:06] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods. "When in a relationship, the feelings of your partner come first always. THinking only about -your- proposal and her answer to it is likely putting further strain on her."
  187. [20:07] * Rime|P peeks into virgo's lab, mindful of the traps.
  188. [20:07] <TenMihara> Virgo is currently working on the arm of a sentinel robot. Specifically, the rocket launcher arm.
  189. [20:08] * Proverb nods to Sagi, sighing. "I feel like an idiot..." She shakes her head. "I j-just hope that she can see that I still care for her, now more than ever. I'm giving her as much time as she needs. When she's ready, she'll come to me."
  190. [20:09] * Rime|P gives a low, appreciative whistle. "Nice hardware Virgi."
  191. [20:15] <TenMihara> Sagittarius looks to Proverb, "Letting go is hard, but if you truly care for her, and find that she does not reciprocate, you must be able to let go, lest you destroy yourself in the process."
  192. [20:17] * Proverb nods to Sagi, sighing softly. "I-It's just... I've lost everyone who I've ever cared about... my mom, dad, my entire squadron from back in the Enclave... I don't know how much more I can let go before I break..."
  193. [20:18] <TenMihara> Sagittarisu shakes his head, "There is a difference between having things taken, and letting them go."
  194. [20:19] <Proverb> "It still hurts..."
  195. [20:21] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "And it will be a measure of your own strength to move on through that hurt. And remember that your hurt is yours alone to deal with. If others offer to help you carry your burdens, let them, but do not force them to."
  196. [20:21] * Proverb nods to Sagi, swallowing hard. "I kn-know, thanks, Sagi."
  197. [20:22] * Rime|P picks her way through the clutter and probable traps toward Virgo.
  198. [20:22] * Missile_Rush is still trottrottrotting with Rime, unless she specifically asked him to leave.
  199. [20:22] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods sagely.
  200. [20:23] * Rime|P looks back as she carefully enters the lab. "Don't blow up anything, Sparky."
  201. [20:24] <TenMihara> Virgo looks up form her work; "Who dares enter my labor- oh hey it's firework filly. What up?"
  202. [20:25] * Missile_Rush just nods quietly to Rime|P, standing outside the lab.
  203. [20:27] * Rime|P shrugs. "Killing time." She points back to Missile_Rush. "That's Sparky."
  204. [20:28] * Proverb smiles at Sagi. "Can I hug you?"
  205. [20:28] * Razor smirks. "Bought it. But my others, they're custom made!" She sticks one of her hooves on the counter, to show off the tramplers, while she takes her caps in her magic and puts them away.
  206. [20:31] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "You may."
  207. [20:31] <TenMihara> Switchpost gestures to the plasma talons, "What about those? They don't look like pony gear."
  208. [20:33] <TenMihara> Virgo waves Rime over, "You know about stuff blowing up right? Wanna help me with this?"
  209. [20:33] * Rime|P nods. "Sure. Lets rock this bitch."
  210. [20:34] * Proverb mrees. She has to jump, but she tosses her hooves around Sagi's neck and hugs him tightly, dangling off of the ground.
  211. [20:34] <TenMihara> Sagittarius chuckles
  212. [20:35] * Proverb flails her hind hooves, giggling. "What~?"
  213. [20:37] * Missile_Rush looks to Virgo. "She insists on calling me that. My real name is Missile Rush."
  214. [20:37] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "You are -very- small."
  215. [20:38] * Proverb giggles, nodding. "Mhm! I'm the best tiny one-eyed sniper around!"
  216. [20:39] <TenMihara> Sagittarius chuckles again.
  217. [20:40] <TenMihara> Virgo nods, "Whatever sparky." She directs Rime to the missile launcher arm. "I think there's a jam in the feed."
  218. [20:40] * Rime|P smirks. "Sparky is the /best/ thing I call you. Be thankful." She crosses over to check the robot.
  219. [20:40] * Missile_Rush fights the urge to roll his eyes as he sits by and watches.
  220. [20:41] * Razor grins. "A well-earned prize." It quickly turns to a frown though. "Griffon talons."
  221. [20:43] * Proverb giggles, swinging herself up onto Sagi's back. "So, what do you normally do Sagi?"
  222. [20:43] <TenMihara> Switchpost nods, "I see. I take it that's where you got those badass new scars too?"
  223. [20:44] <TenMihara> X almost snickers
  224. [20:47] <TenMihara> Sagittarius blinks, "I hunt bounties to provide income for the Collegiate on behalf of Professor Zodiac."
  225. [20:48] <TenMihara> Rime discovers that the feed is in fact jammed, and Virgo has the right idea. She just doesn't seem to know how to clear it without breaking something. There's a bit of charred metal stuck in it, possibly from a previous misfire.
  226. [20:48] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Ahh, and you use your bow? That's cool!" She giggles. She definitely had a childish side to her, appropriate for her size.
  227. [20:49] * Rime|P digs into the machine to clear the jam.
  228. [20:50] <TenMihara> Sagittarius seems a bit perplexed at the sudden increase in mood. "I do. It was my mothers, and she passed it on to me as well as the means to maintain it, craft arrows, and the skill to use it."
  229. [20:50] <TenMihara> Rime nearly gets her hoof snagged in its place, but manages to clear the jam.
  230. [20:53] * Razor nods. "Put up a fight. Had to take it easy for a while after."
  231. [20:54] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Was it hoofmade?"
  232. [21:01] <TenMihara> Switchpost nods, "Still pretty impressive. Talons are pretty hardened."
  233. [21:01] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "Yes."
  234. [21:02] <TenMihara> Virgo smiles, "Okay, so that's that. Now can you tell me which of these rockets are still good? They're all old, obviously."
  235. [21:03] * Proverb nods to Sagi, smiling. "Cool, hmmm, is there anything fun to do around here?"
  236. [21:04] * Rime|P nods. "Sure, Virgi, I can go through these real quick."
  237. [21:07] <TenMihara> Rime finds two duds a crack shell amidst the rockets. The others are all functioning fine
  238. [21:08] * Rime|P smiles to Virgo as she finishes sorting the ordinance.
  239. [21:13] <TenMihara> Virgo glees at Rime. "Awesome! This one is gonna be my best robot minion yet!"
  240. [21:14] * Rime|P quirks a brow. "I've not had the best luck with robot minions..."
  241. [21:15] <TenMihara> Virgo blinks, "Oh? What was wrongwith them?"
  242. [21:16] * Rime|P shrugs. "Fixed them, turned them on... Then they turned on me. Ungrateful metal motherfuckers."
  243. [21:20] <TenMihara> Virgo nods, "DId you reprogram the spell matricies? How long had they been offline?"
  244. [21:21] * Rime|P blinks. "Ummm... But I... Fixed them so... Shouldn't that count?"
  245. [21:22] <TenMihara> Virgo shakes her head, "Robots are different." She directs Rime to a powered down Ponitron, the head case of which she opens up. "Even if you can get them working again, you have to program them to be your friend."
  246. [21:24] * Rime|P huffs. "Yeah... Logics been teaching me a bit more about that... I'm getting better with the whole matrix programming thing but... Not so much then."
  247. [21:25] <TenMihara> Sagittarius shakes his head, "Fun? This is a place of learning and research."
  248. [21:26] <TenMihara> Virgo nods, "That would be your problem."
  249. [21:28] * Proverb frowns. "So all you guys do is work?" She asks.
  250. [21:31] * Razor isn't very pleased about the subject matter. "Talons don't even deserve a trip to the Core! I wouldn't care if every single one of them was eaten by manticores."
  251. [21:31] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods, "When we are not resting between assignments."
  252. [21:32] <TenMihara> Switchpost looks like that statement confused him. "We've had manticores in here before. And one griffon as a member of the Reapers before."
  253. [21:33] * Proverb frowns. "Well, do you want to play a game? You're not doing anything at the moment."
  254. [21:37] * Razor scowls. "Talons don't deserve /any/ better. There's some things I can't ever forget." She leaves it at that.
  255. [21:38] <TenMihara> X frowns from behind her helmet, knowing what she meant?
  256. [21:38] <TenMihara> *.
  257. [21:41] * Rime|P nods. "Yeah..."
  258. [21:42] <TenMihara> Virgo nods, "Do you still have them? Maybe I can reprogram them for you."
  259. [21:42] <TenMihara> Switchpost shrugs, "Musta been rough. Still, you can take your armour to Butcher if you wanna have it mended properly."
  260. [21:43] * Rime|P shakes her head. "Kinds had to put them down, but I did get one with a matrix grenade... Could still be at my old place." She shrugs.
  261. [21:45] <TenMihara> Sagittarius raises an eyebrow, "Why?"
  262. [21:45] <TenMihara> Virgo smiles, "Ooh, what kind? Maybe it can still be salvaged!"
  263. [21:46] * Razor nods. "That's where I'm going next. Then after that... Hey, know anyplace good for a little celebration?"
  264. [21:46] * Proverb shrugs at Sagi. "Because we can?" She giggles.
  265. [21:46] <Rime|P> "Couple ponytrons and a Mr Gutsy."
  266. [21:46] <TenMihara> Switchpost nods, "Actually, yeah. There's a little concession stand in the arena that got turned into a diner. It smells like grease all the time, but the food is great."
  267. [21:56] <TenMihara> Virgo nods, "And which one is still intact?"
  268. [21:57] * Rime|P thinks. "At least one of the ponytrons. The Gutsy getting taken out is how they set my house on fire."
  269. [22:02] * Razor nods again, and starts heading off to get her armor fixed.
  270. [22:06] <TenMihara> Virgo nods, "Where is your house?"
  271. [22:06] <TenMihara> X leads Razor to Butcher's room and workshop. It's rank.
  272. [22:06] <Rime|P> "Little north of Toll. Well... It was."
  273. [22:07] <TenMihara> Vrigo raises an eyebrow, "They blow it up on you?"
  274. [22:08] <Rime|P> "No. Didn't blow it up. Just set it in fire. It was my stash that caused the explosion..."
  275. [22:09] <TenMihara> Virgo blinks, "Ah. That sucks."
  276. [22:12] <TenMihara> Sagittarius shakes his head, "I believe I will pass. Perhaps Aquarius and Capricorn will be more interested."
  277. [22:15] * Proverb nods to Sagi. "Are they in?"
  278. [22:20] <TenMihara> Sagittarius shrugs, "I do not know."
  279. [22:27] * Proverb nods, hugging Sagi again before hopping off his back. "I'll go look. It was nice to hang out with you Sagi!"
  280. [22:28] * Rime|P sighs. "It does...."
  281. [22:32] <TenMihara> Sagittarius nods. "Enjoy yourself
  282. [22:32] <TenMihara> ."
  283. [22:33] <TenMihara> Virog gives Rime a hug, "At least you got pals. Maybe you can get one of them to bring your robot here and we'll see if we can get it up and running."
  284. [22:33] * Rime|P returns the hug.
  285. [22:39] * Razor kind of doesn't want to go inside. "Ugh. It smells horrible. Hello? Anypony there?"
  286. [22:46] <TenMihara> Butcher pokes his head out, a cleaver hanging from a loop in his apron, "Yeah?" Butcher is a blood red pony.
