G-Platypus 21

Jun 18 17:17:56 <Mister_Clacky>	*****G-Platypus: The City of Broad Withers - Session 21*****
Jun 18 17:18:02 <Mister_Clacky>	 Onward
Jun 18 17:18:17 <Mister_Clacky>	 There is, as they say, no place to go but forward.
Jun 18 17:18:23 *	Thunder_Strike has quit (Quit: It's a Cactopus!)
Jun 18 17:18:50 *	Cherry_Sky ([email protected]) has joined
Jun 18 17:19:16 <Mister_Clacky>	 It's especially true in the Waste, where every trial you face pushes you .Ejects you. Turning back is death. Forward at least is a chance to live.
Jun 18 17:19:31 *	Cherry_Sky is now known as Thunder_Strike
Jun 18 17:19:40 <Mister_Clacky>	 Few ponies have something to push towards.
Jun 18 17:19:56 <Mister_Clacky>	 Fewer still have something /positive/ to push towards.
Jun 18 17:20:14 <Mister_Clacky>	 Perhaps out wastelanders have somewhere to be?
Jun 18 17:20:21 <Mister_Clacky>	 *****Session Start*****
Jun 18 17:21:43 <Mister_Clacky>	 The group is in Slash and Slag's. It is about midday, the repair work completed and Strawberry_Daiquiri 's work finishing up as well.
Jun 18 17:22:04 *	Blackberry_Jam idly rubs the bandage covering most of her right foreleg. She'd need to be careful about that. Still reclining on the porch of Slash and Slag's, she finishes her cigarette. Slowly, she rises and seeks out North_Star, wherever he ended up.
Jun 18 17:24:04 *	Scrap waits for Strawberry_Daiquiri to finish by once again meditating over several shiny objects that he pulled out of their bag.
Jun 18 17:25:17 *	North_Star was, of course, at the bar. Already blowing his remaining hard-looted caps on booze, although he wasn't all that drunk yet, seeing as he was only halfway through one bottle.
Jun 18 17:26:26 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri after finnising the work on the armor walks over to scrap
Jun 18 17:26:36 *	Thunder_Strike is slightly agitated having been denied her fun, she sits in the corner watching slash. "Hey, don't forget I have things to sell."
Jun 18 17:26:45 <Thunder_Strike>	She says to slash.
Jun 18 17:26:54 *	Blackberry_Jam heads there. Stallions were creatures of habits. So were alcoholics. She slides into the seat next to him and smiles. "Buy you a drink?"
Jun 18 17:27:25 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slag is watching the store, keeping an eye on the mechanic renting the workbench. Slash is also nearby, still a little miffed at the upstart mechanic.
Jun 18 17:28:21 *	North_Star glanced over at Blackberry_Jam with a smirk. "
Jun 18 17:28:24 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"Your armor is done" she says to Scrap
Jun 18 17:29:01 <North_Star>	"I haven't heard anypony ask me that in about three years." He said before taking a swig from his bottle. "What's on your mind?"
Jun 18 17:29:51 *	Scrap looks up, "really? How's it look?"
Jun 18 17:30:47 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"well I did what you asked and added some flair"
Jun 18 17:31:01 *	Blackberry_Jam orders two glasses of whiskey, before placing some bottles of her own on the table. "I was thinking about what comes next. We bring Snacky to these slavers and then what? Kill them all? There's no way they'll be letting us out of there alive, and there's no way Snack would sell out her friends and family."
Jun 18 17:31:21 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash heads over to Thunder_Strike with a bag of caps, taking her sellables as agreed before he got sidetracked
Jun 18 17:32:02 *	Thunder_Strike pats his shoulder. "Thanks bud." She says putting the bag of caps in her valuables saddle bag.
Jun 18 17:32:06 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	me/ hand scrap his armor that is now colred pink with purple trim
Jun 18 17:33:05 *	Scrap looks it over and looks a bit confused, "so, what did you do to it?"
Jun 18 17:35:14 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	and it now has two Epaulettes whith brown tedy bears
Jun 18 17:35:29 *	North_Star orders another bottle for himself, this was going to take a while. "I was thinking the same thing, as much as I would like to torch the place." He said, continuing to drink. "Although, I doubt they would have an easy time getting in there. If the war couldn't blow those doors down..." Then, another brillient idea hit him. "Wait a cottenpickin' minute."
Jun 18 17:38:02 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash looks over Scrap's new armor. "Ha! You're fuckin' wit 'em, roight?"
Jun 18 17:39:58 *	Thunder_Strike "thanks slash. Your not bad for a rough buck." She says then heads for the door, she needs something to eat.
Jun 18 17:41:19 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"you look like you could use some cheer in your life" she says to Scrap
Jun 18 17:41:30 *	Scrap looks at the bears on the side and is amused, "cute bears, they might be useful. You did a good job fixing it, I should be able to wear it once I get my speed up enough."
Jun 18 17:44:44 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"so what is that you do here Scrap"
Jun 18 17:45:17 <Mister_Clacky>	 The dining car is the only real place Thunder_Strike knows of for food. Unless she wants to buy some canned stuff at Kaching's...
Jun 18 17:46:52 *	Blackberry_Jam blinks a little at his vernacular. "Cottenpickin'?"
Jun 18 17:47:13 *	Scrap picking up his things and stowing the armor, "I'm with the others. My only real job is protecting them."
Jun 18 17:49:23 *	North_Star looked at Blackberry_Jam for a second. "It's somethin' my pa used to say. Anyway, this might be the whiskey talking, but I've only had one." He emptyed the first bottle down his mouth. "Now. But bear with me. What if we give the slavers the location of the Stable, lead them into a Stable security based trap?"
Jun 18 17:49:56 *	Thunder_Strike heads for the diner to get something hopefully yummy.
Jun 18 17:52:13 *	Blackberry_Jam folds her hooves a little. She slices open the top of a juice box with her knife and upends it into the whiskey glass. Mixing it a little with some orange juice, she passes the glass to him and thinks it over. "...That would require the cooperation of the ponies in the Stable, right?"
Jun 18 17:52:28 <Mister_Clacky>	 The Dining Car attached to The Sleeper is about how it always is. The waitress isn't around, but Stiff Drink is at the bar. North_Star and Blackberry_Jam  are at a table.
Jun 18 17:55:10 *	North_Star chuckled, taking the glass in a hoof. "Not so. If we can stage an attack on the Stable before the slavers get there, with some explosives, then they'll be on alert. When the slavers show up, they'll show up right into a Stable with it's defences already raised and, with the help of a hoofful of passing mercenaries, should be easily shot down. Am I wrong?"
Jun 18 17:57:02 *	Scrap to Strawberry_Daiquiri, "what are you looking to do here?"
Jun 18 17:57:09 *	Blackberry_Jam mixes herself a drink as well, downing it in a swift gulp. "No, no... That might work. Know many mercs?"
Jun 18 17:57:53 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"oh I see I was hopping to find some work in this town that I coluld do"
Jun 18 17:58:06 *	North_Star also took his drink in one gulp. "Us, of course. They see Snacky and her friends doing them a favor, as well as see her alive, they'd be more than happy to bring her back in."
Jun 18 17:58:37 *	Thunder_Strike enters the dining car and glances around. She spots her comrades in at a table and waves at them, before going to the bar to get a drink and possibly something to eat.
Jun 18 18:00:15 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy polishes idly at the bar as Thunder_Strike  approaches. "What can I get for ya?"
Jun 18 18:00:25 *	Blackberry_Jam gives Thunder_Strike a nod as she talks. "Well, there's a lot riding on how those Stable ponies will react, and the slavers have probably thought about the safety countermeasures, but... It's the best plan we've got."
Jun 18 18:00:28 <Scrap>	"Well, I'm not sure that they need it here to be honest."
Jun 18 18:01:17 <Thunder_Strike>	"Got any sparkle~cola cherry blast?
Jun 18 18:01:57 *	North_Star nods. "We just need to convince Snacky of that. The element of surprise rides on her being able to keep the plan a secret from the slavers, that means a convincing preformace when she gives up the location.
Jun 18 18:03:51 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy reaches into a nearby chest and pulls out a cold drink. "10 caps"
Jun 18 18:04:53 *	Blackberry_Jam rubs her neck a little. "Right... I'll talk to her about it. Other than that, I figured you could give this a read." She says, placing her copy of Guns and Bullets on the table and sliding it towards him.
Jun 18 18:05:10 <Thunder_Strike>	Alright, what about good? What ya got?" She asks hogging the caps over and pulls the drink over.
Jun 18 18:05:37 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"hey scrap you still need to pay me for the armor"
Jun 18 18:06:56 <Scrap>	"Well, I can't pay you an amount that I don't know. You haven't said how much it is yet."
Jun 18 18:08:55 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"how does 60 caps sound?"
Jun 18 18:09:46 *	North_Star smiled, tucking his new reading material with his book. "Thanks Doc, I'll turn into a bookworm yet with you around."
Jun 18 18:10:20 *	Blackberry_Jam suddenly blinks. "Oh, and... we might be down one zebra... I was talking with Str- Nyota... earlier, and she told me she'd want to stay here, with Splotches, for a while. I didn't want to protest, and she seemed pretty adamant about staying."
Jun 18 18:12:37 *	North_Star pops the cork of his second whiskey bottle. "Well, we'll be down a few hooves, but I know better than to argue with a zebra." He said, taking a drink. "Pretty sure it's for the best. For her anyway."
Jun 18 18:12:49 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy give Thunder_Strike a smile. "Well, we have the best stocked kitchen around. We can probably get just about anything together."
Jun 18 18:13:30 *	Scrap breaks into a wide smile, "wow! Just 60 caps? Sure!" With zeal he gets into his pack and pulls out his cap bag and hoofs over 60.
Jun 18 18:13:59 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"Ok then"
Jun 18 18:14:25 *	Blackberry_Jam lights a cigarette and raises a hoof. "Stiffy, can I get an Aviation?" She says, leaning back into the booth/table/whatever.
Jun 18 18:14:45 *	Blackberry_Jam "But you're right. I think she just needs some time to herself."
Jun 18 18:15:08 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri takes the caps from scrap and proceds over to the bar
Jun 18 18:16:07 *	Scrap with all of his business concluded, thinks it's a good idea to find the others.
Jun 18 18:17:44 *	Thunder_Strike smiles and nods. "So watcha got? What can you get together for me?"
Jun 18 18:18:14 *	North_Star did some thinking over the bottle on the table. If he was going to get the attention of a Stable, he would need something that made a substantial explosion, or something similar.
Jun 18 18:18:22 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy gets to work pouring gin, cherry liqueur, and violet-infused brandy in a shaker, squeezing a lemon in as well. he shakes it in a blur and walks it around. He pours it into a cocktail glass and leaves the shaker.
Jun 18 18:18:56 *	Blackberry_Jam raises the glass to the skilled bartender with a smile. "What's the damage?"
Jun 18 18:19:51 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy walks back around the bar, waving off Blackberry_Jam's comment. "I have a tab for you." He looks back to Thunder_Strike, "Shoot me an idea, I'll tell you if we have the stuff."
Jun 18 18:19:54 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri arives at the bar, and tries to get the bartender's attention.
Jun 18 18:20:49 *	Scrap walks up to Slash, "hey, did you see where the others went?"
Jun 18 18:20:54 *	North_Star looks up at Blackberry_Jam, "Say. Slash n' Slag have about everything, right? Do you think they'd have something to help knock on a Stable?"
Jun 18 18:21:05 <Mister_Clacky>	 Strawberry_Daiquiri can see the bartender is talking with the pegasus... female pegasus... from the shop.
Jun 18 18:21:18 *	Blackberry_Jam takes a sip, smiling at North from the edge of her glass. "I'd be surprised if they didn't."
Jun 18 18:21:46 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash, none to happy, points emphatically toward the Dining Car.
Jun 18 18:22:18 *	North_Star nodded and rose from his seat, taking his bottle with him. "That's where I'll be then. Give a shout when we're packing up." He said, making his leave from the Dining Car.
Jun 18 18:23:23 *	Blackberry_Jam nods again, placing the now empty cocktail glass on the table. Tightening the bandage around her leg, she trots over to the bar and slides in the seat next to Thunder_Strike.
Jun 18 18:23:23 <Scrap>	"Thanks, Slash." He heads for there.
Jun 18 18:25:06 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy looks around Thunder_Strike to Strawberry_Daiquiri. "Can I get ya something, little lady?"
Jun 18 18:25:41 *	Thunder_Strike "hmm... How about an apple salad?" She says.
Jun 18 18:26:30 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy looks back at Thunder_Strike and nods. He kicks at the door behind the bar and hollars, "Apple Salad!" A deep grumble answers from the back.
Jun 18 18:27:20 *	North_Star passes Scrap with a tip of his hat, walks up to Slash with the kind of smile that says, 'I need something blown up and I need it blown up good.'
Jun 18 18:27:29 *	Thunder_Strike pops of the cap of the drink now and drakes a small sip.
Jun 18 18:27:38 *	Blackberry_Jam claps Thunder_Strike on the back. "Morning, Featherduster."
Jun 18 18:28:40 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash gives a big ol' grin. "Roight! Well, this is Slash and Slag's!" A thrown wrench hits him in the back of the head. Slag just glares from the counter. "Yeah, we got all kinda explosives, yeah? Be more specific?"
Jun 18 18:28:42 *	Thunder_Strike puts the bottle down having started choking on what she sipped because of the clap on the back.
Jun 18 18:28:51 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri thinks it over and says"I will have a strayberry daiquiri"
Jun 18 18:28:55 *	Scrap nods back to North_Star before entering the diner looking to spot Blackberry_Jam.
Jun 18 18:29:32 *	North_Star looks around at the wares. "Brace yourself. I need something that can rock a Stable door."
Jun 18 18:29:42 *	Blackberry_Jam blinks. She didn't hit her -that- hard. "Easy, Thunder. Easy!"
Jun 18 18:31:00 *	Thunder_Strike was more startled which is the main reason. "Geez, you scared.. Cough ... Me." She says getting it out.
Jun 18 18:31:45 *	Scrap notices the coughing and walks over to them.
Jun 18 18:32:38 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy kicks at a flywheel under the back of the bar, A machine rattles behind him. He pours in a scoop of Railyard's finest commodity, ice. He ads some strawberry snhnapps, some rum, a few other odds and ends. He pours the frozen concotion in a tall glass and garnishes with a strawberry half. "Only frozen drinks in the Waste!" He announces as he sets it down in front of her. "20 caps."
Jun 18 18:33:14 *	Blackberry_Jam slides Thunder_Strike a glass of the orange concoction. "Here, drink this."
Jun 18 18:33:42 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash brings a hoof to his chin thoughtfully. "Knock or blow open?"
Jun 18 18:34:28 *	Thunder_Strike shakes her head. "No thanks. This will do fine." She says smiling again.
Jun 18 18:35:22 *	North_Star looks between the rifles and the plies of explosives. "Just knock. Easiest way to get a Stable to get ready for a fight."
Jun 18 18:35:57 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash nods. "Block of C4 probably do it for ya, yeah?"
Jun 18 18:36:00 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri hands the barkeep 20 caps
Jun 18 18:36:31 *	North_Star nods in agreement. "How much will two blocks and a detonator run me?"
Jun 18 18:37:49 *	Scrap says to Blackberry_Jam, "hey Blackberry, you said if we feel weird after being in that basement to come see you. I feel kinda weak today and my stomach is a little queasy."
Jun 18 18:38:00 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri begins to slowy sip the cold drink and look around the room
Jun 18 18:38:18 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash answers, "630, for two blocks. You want individual detonators, or wired together? Normally would leave that for you ta do, but I'll do it if ya want."
Jun 18 18:38:57 *	Blackberry_Jam shakes her head. "Sorry, kid, but this is doctor's orders." She smiles as Scrap approaches. "Ah, exactly." She hoof Scrap the fourth glass she had prepared. "I think most of us might have a very minor case of radiation poisoning. This will take it right out of you."
Jun 18 18:40:06 *	Thunder_Strike groans. "Fine." She says then takes a sip of the orange concoction
Jun 18 18:40:20 *	Scrap drinks from the glass placed before him.
Jun 18 18:40:21 *	North_Star waves a hoof, "Wire it together, I'll use two to make sure I get their attention." He said, "While we're at it, you got any rifles for me?"
Jun 18 18:41:15 *	Blackberry_Jam 's cocktail is very fruity, mostly oranges. There's a slight undertone of alcohol, but, believe it or not, it helps the overpowering flavor of medicine go down.
Jun 18 18:42:46 *	Thunder_Strike smiles, "that's actually good." She says then drinks more of that.
Jun 18 18:42:54 *	Thunder_Strike drink.*
Jun 18 18:43:36 *	Blackberry_Jam chuckles. "An old trick my father taught me. Mix medicine with moonshine, and your patients will take it every time."
Jun 18 18:44:01 *	Scrap doesn't think it's too bad, but he'd still raher not have another. "Thanks, Blackberry_Jam. I'm actually feeling better already."
Jun 18 18:44:22 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash starts fiddling with some nondescript putty in block form as he talks. "What kind? This is..." he ducks a bit instinctively. He /is/ working with explosives right now.
Jun 18 18:44:36 <Scrap>	"Is that what that is?"
Jun 18 18:45:40 *	Blackberry_Jam nods, but adds, "Well, medicine, yes. Moonshine, not exactly. It's mostly orange juice and Rad-away, but just a little bit of Stalliongrad's Finest."
Jun 18 18:45:42 *	North_Star looks back at Slash, then to Slag, then to Slash. "Something with a scope on it, you one you can slap a scope on would be perfect."
Jun 18 18:46:51 *	Thunder_Strike "it still worked either way," she said smiling. "And that method is better for foals." She says giggling
Jun 18 18:48:31 *	Scrap looks down at the glass, "I've never had alcohol before."
Jun 18 18:51:32 *	Blackberry_Jam gives Scrap a smile. "Well, congrats, Kamikaze." She gives Thunder_Strike a jovial shove.
Jun 18 18:51:58 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash finishes modifying the C4, leaving it on the workbench as he heads toward the rifle racks. "Scoped.... Scopes... lesse. Yeah, ya can party with these." He brings out a Markspony Carbine and a scoped Trail Carbine. He grabs a massive scoped pistol in his tail for good measure.
Jun 18 18:52:44 *	Thunder_Strike is pushed. "What?" She says giggling
Jun 18 18:53:14 *	Scrap gives her a smile of his own, happy that she's not mad at him, "my Master always said that I should stay away from it."
Jun 18 18:53:18 *	North_Star takes the Carbine in his hooves, looking it over. "How much?" He asked.
Jun 18 18:54:50 *	Blackberry_Jam chuckles again. "Your Master didn't know what he was missing. Though, definitely practice moderation. Too much of that stuff will kill you." She says, snubbing out her cigarette in an ashtray.
Jun 18 18:56:10 *	Thunder_Strike looks back to stiffy wondering where her apple salad is.
Jun 18 18:56:39 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash watches North eye the weapon. "1175, .44 Trail Carbine with a custom scope. Sighted in at 150 feet."
Jun 18 18:56:55 *	Scrap notices Thunder_Strike's fixed snout, "hey, your nose isn't bandaged anymore."
Jun 18 18:57:53 *	Thunder_Strike glares at him then giggles. "Yeah. Splotches fixed it." She says smiling.
Jun 18 18:57:53 <Mister_Clacky>	 Speak of the devil, a large, flabby arm reaches out the top of the dutch door and hands the salad to Stiffy, who sits it in front of Thunder_Strike
Jun 18 18:58:33 *	Blackberry_Jam rolls her eyes, muttering something about Zebra herb paste.
Jun 18 18:59:07 *	Scrap smiles back, "I'm sorry again for doing it, I'm glad he was able to fix it."
Jun 18 18:59:10 *	North_Star thought for a moment before setting down the rifle on a table and taking out both his Service Rifle and Cowpony Repeater, "And how much would you take those for, I'm sure you'd be able to find them a good home."
Jun 18 18:59:51 *	Scrap asks Blackberry_Jam, "hey, what's wrong with Zebra stuff?"
Jun 18 19:00:12 *	Thunder_Strike ruffles his mane a bit. "Don't worry about it, I'm glad you did it." She says smiling. "Knocking me out I mean. Breaking my snout was a bit excessive but none the less, thanks."
Jun 18 19:00:52 *	Blackberry_Jam watches the ruffling with mild amusement. "Oh, nothing, really. I've just always found Equestrian medicine to be less... finicky.
Jun 18 19:00:53 <Blackberry_Jam>	"
Jun 18 19:03:14 *	Scrap looks back and forth between them before resting his gaze on Thunder_Strike, "I just didn't want you hurting Blackberry_Jam is all, I knew you'd agree."
Jun 18 19:04:05 *	Blackberry_Jam leans on the counter, folding her hooves. Better to not say anything at all.
Jun 18 19:04:24 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash thinks a bit. "Trade those in, call the difference 250."
Jun 18 19:05:47 *	Thunder_Strike smiles at him. "I would have done the same if we had been switched places." She says then turns to Blackberry_Jam. "I'm sorry I almost killed you BJ."
Jun 18 19:05:55 *	Scrap turns to Blackberry_Jam, "I do want to apologise though. You talked about trust and I didn't trust you to handle the situation and Thunder_Strike payed for it."
Jun 18 19:06:21 *	North_Star thought a bit, setting his guns on the table before taking out the pouch of 5.56mm rounds, as well as the Service rifle magazines he had loaded, and putting them with them. "75 5.56s. How's that end up?"
Jun 18 19:06:44 <Mister_Clacky>	 Stiffy rubs the bar.
Jun 18 19:06:52 *	Blackberry_Jam waves a hoof dismissively, to both of them. "It's fine. Don't let it worry you any more than it has."
Jun 18 19:07:34 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash looks at the bullets. "You wanna sell, or trade straight up for .44?"
Jun 18 19:07:58 <Mister_Clacky>	 "Well, not /straight up/ 3 to 1. .44 is expensive, yeah?"
Jun 18 19:08:25 *	Thunder_Strike shrugs then nod to her. "Well I'm glad you were understanding mast.... Blackberry.
Jun 18 19:09:36 *	Blackberry_Jam gives her a sideways glance, but says nothing.
Jun 18 19:10:07 *	Blackberry_Jam "We may want to think about leaving soon. As much as I'd like to hang out and drink till sunset, we've got a deadline to meet."
Jun 18 19:10:36 *	North_Star did the math in his head. "Trading still puts me in the hole 15 or so caps." He rummaged through his ammo bags. "A dozen .22s and five 40mm slugs is all I got left."
Jun 18 19:10:56 *	Scrap opens his mouth to ask, but remembers not to spil her secret. He decides to look around the diner instead.
Jun 18 19:11:34 *	Thunder_Strike has a bit of an embarrassed blush then looks at her and nods. "Yeah. What about nyota? Will she join us?
Jun 18 19:12:25 *	Blackberry_Jam stares at the glasses that she served the medicine in. "No... No she won't."
Jun 18 19:12:47 <Mister_Clacky>	 Slash does the math. "101 caps or 68 magnums, your choice."
Jun 18 19:13:39 *	Thunder_Strike "oh I see. Well she asks me a question awhile back and we were alittle busy." She says then drinks the rest of her cola.
Jun 18 19:15:17 *	Blackberry_Jam tips her head a little, but shakes her head a little. "Yeah, said she wanted to be more 'in tune with her spiritual side'. -That- is why Equestrian medicine is better. No spirits, no bartering, just science." She mutters, downing another Aviation.
Jun 18 19:15:43 *	Scrap looking around the diner, he spots Strawberry_Daiquiri and decides to walk over to her, "so, what do you plan to do now?"
Jun 18 19:17:05 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"well I hope I can find some more work, if you need anything elce fix you know where to find me"
Jun 18 19:17:44 <Mister_Clacky>	 The sun is behind a cloud, obviously. But /if/ you could see the sun, it would be high in the sky on a downward arc. Three and a half days...
Jun 18 19:19:02 *	Thunder_Strike nods to Blackberry_Jam. "Yeah, but sometimes zebra medicine can help better for certain illness." She says shruging. "Heh, my mother is a zebra. She showed me some tricks but I disnt do to well."
Jun 18 19:19:02 <Scrap>	"Hmm, well my friends might need some help. Let me check." He walks back over to Blackberry_Jam and Thunder_Strike. "Do either of you have anything you need repaired?"
Jun 18 19:20:06 *	Blackberry_Jam gives Thunder_Strike a slight smile. "Maybe you'd like to show me some time." She looks over at Scrap and shakes her head. "Negative. Slash took care of that already."
Jun 18 19:21:32 <Scrap>	"Well, I met someone that can repair things, but she doesn't have anywhere to go."
Jun 18 19:22:17 *	Thunder_Strike looks at Scrap and nods. "My nose." She says giggling. "Just kidding." She adds before looking back to Blackberry_Jam. "Nyota would be better, I can't do alchemy to well.
Jun 18 19:23:40 *	Blackberry_Jam looks past Scrap. "Oh yeah? Who would that... Oh, it's you. Hey kid. I see you're still here." She says to Strawberry_Daiquiri from down the bar. "Nothing stopping you from staying here, you know. Safest place I can think of in Buckago."
Jun 18 19:25:58 *	North_Star empities his bag o' caps on the table next to his guns, then places the .22s and the 40mms along them, finally he takes the Trail Carbine. "I'll take the rounds, then." He said, checking the rifle's chamber.
Jun 18 19:26:25 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"Well I won't survive the waistland all by myself, and I don't have any compainins to venter out into the waists with."

Jun 18 19:28:08 *	Blackberry_Jam gives Strawberry_Daiquiri a flat look and points out towards the city, then to the wastes that surround it. "Don't. The city and the wastes? There's nothing there but death. Railyard can-" She deadpans at Scrap. "No."

Jun 18 19:33:47 *	Blackberry_Jam gives Scrap a "I can't even believe what I'm hearing" look. "We don't 'keep' Snack around, Kamikaze. It doesn't matter if she can't fight, we'd keep her with us no matter how she is. Don't lie to the kid when you tell her that we can keep her safe."

Jun 18 19:40:04 *	North_Star takes the ammo and his explosives, tucking them away in his satchel. "A pleasure doin' business with you." He said, turning to leave. "And try not to kill each other, you two." He said over his shoulder as he stepped out of the store.
Jun 18 19:42:30 <Scrap>	"So, if she stays she's dead and if she comes she's dead, so what difference does it make?"
Jun 18 19:42:48 *	Blackberry_Jam points out to the wastes again. "You're missing the point. I'm saying that the suffering is inevitable out there. I don't want to make anypony that doesn't have to feel it do so, all right?"

Jun 18 19:57:38 <Scrap>	"Then she can be my responsibility."
Jun 18 20:00:11 *	Blackberry_Jam stops at the door. "No offense to you, Scrap, but that's a scary thought. You can bring her if you want, but you have to explain -exactly- what the dangers of our work is. Got that? Anything less and I'll leave you behind too."
Jun 18 20:01:04 *	Thunder_Strike is leaning against the wall outside waiting in them both.
Jun 18 20:02:01 *	Blackberry_Jam slumps next to the pegasus and lights up. She didn't like this.
Jun 18 20:02:12 *	Scrap turns back to Strawberry_Daiquiri and smiles at her, "she's right, it's dangerous, but I can keep you safe. I'd love to have you around to fix this up for me."
Jun 18 20:04:05 *	Blackberry_Jam snorts, flicking an ear. Dangerous. Understatement of the century.
Jun 18 20:04:13 *	Thunder_Strike looks at BJ, "he still determine to bring her huh?" She says looking over to her.
Jun 18 20:05:24 *	Blackberry_Jam gives a slight nod. "I've never seen a pony condemn anothe to death so politely, or so eagerly."
Jun 18 20:06:03 <Blackberry_Jam>	another*
Jun 18 20:06:50 *	Thunder_Strike "yeah I know." She says looking back to him. "So when she would we get ready to set out?
Jun 18 20:07:34 *	Blackberry_Jam blows a big puff of smoke into the air. "Soon as Hot Shot gets back with those explosives, we'll find Snack and get a move on."
Jun 18 20:09:26 *	Thunder_Strike nods then adjusts her BattleSaddle a bit. "I'm just happy that this thing is balanced out now." She says smiling.
Jun 18 20:10:59 *	Blackberry_Jam looks at the weapon slung across her shoulder. Maybe she should have asked Slash if he had any upgrades for it.
Jun 18 20:11:42 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri sort of smilling at scrap "A big stalion like you would protect a little mare like me"
Jun 18 20:16:08 *	Thunder_Strike sighs then looks to Blackberry_Jam. "So... What now?"
Jun 18 20:16:09 <Scrap>	"Of course I will, I don't like it when people get hurt. I won't let anything hurt you." He looks toward Blackberry_Jam and lowers his voice. "Even her."
Jun 18 20:16:41 *	Blackberry_Jam tosses her head back and blows a few smoke rings. "We wait."
Jun 18 20:17:51 *	Thunder_Strike nods. "I could use another drink." She says looking back at the bar.
Jun 18 20:18:21 *	North_Star has been outside the Dining car this whole time, loading his new rifle. When he heard an agreement, he stepped inside, sliding the Carbine in place on his back.

Jun 18 20:29:02 *	North_Star walks inside and takes a look at the group. After seeing the young mare, he got the idea and had one thing to ask. "Can she shoot?"

Jun 18 20:30:45 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"not so good, but I find that I can usully talk my way out of problem"
Jun 18 20:31:29 <Scrap>	"She's really good at repairing things too."
Jun 18 20:32:03 *	Scrap almost beams, if anyone will see her usefulness it's North_Star.
Jun 18 20:32:18 *	North_Star scratched his chin. "Ever patched up a rifle, Youngin'?
Jun 18 20:33:19 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"yep plenty of times back on my pa's farm"
Jun 18 20:36:30 *	Blackberry_Jam stands up. This was making her antsy. She heads to Splotches, intent on getting some supplies and bidding him and Nyota both goodbye before leaving.
Jun 18 20:36:44 *	North_Star nodded approvingly, "Farm mare, you're a hard worker, then." He wasn't convinced, though. "Can you bring anything else to the table?"
Jun 18 20:37:53 <Mister_Clacky>	 The sign on Dr. Splotches office is turned to "Emergencies Only."
Jun 18 20:38:18 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri thinks for a second "I know alot about tecnology. where are you heading anyway
Jun 18 20:38:55 *	Blackberry_Jam is an emergency. She heads on in silently as she can be.
Jun 18 20:39:28 *	North_Star looked up at Scrap. "We're headed into trouble no filly should be gettin' into." He said sternly, as if to make a point.
Jun 18 20:42:11 <Mister_Clacky>	 The door opens to a darkened clinic heavy with sharp tasting smoke. It tastes like purple. The only sources of light are Nyota's earring and the gemstone embedded in he lid of Dr. Spotches teakettle. Nyota stares forward blankly, eyes fully dialated. Splotches exhales and speaks softly. "Please close the door and come in, Jam."
Jun 18 20:42:57 <Scrap>	"We can keep her safe. We've kept Snack Cake safe."
Jun 18 20:43:21 *	Blackberry_Jam does so. "Don't plan on staying long, just need some supplies. sorry for interrupting..." She's at a loss for a word to describe exactly what is going on. "This. I'll leave the caps on the table."
Jun 18 20:44:04 *	North_Star sighs. "Jam's gonna hate me for this."
Jun 18 20:46:50 <Mister_Clacky>	 gives a slight nod. Walking by Blackberry_Jam can see he is heavily perspiring from concentration. His eyes are open and unseeing just as Nyota's are. There are several gashes on his body, and as she watches another wound opens on his cheek from the inside out. He gives a tiny grunt. "That... will be fine."
Jun 18 20:47:45 *	Blackberry_Jam blinks as she crams some bandages into her pack. -That- is why she never trusts Zebra medicine. "Don't hurt yourself."
Jun 18 20:48:00 *	North_Star looked at both Scrap and Strawberry_Daiquiri. "Greenhorn's been safe because she's kept her head down and stayed outta trouble when she could." He pointed out. "If the youngin' can do the same, I emphasize 'keep outta trouble' here." He said to Strawberry_Daiquiri specifically. "As well as learn to shoot properly, she can come along.
Jun 18 20:48:14 *	Thunder_Strike is still leaning on the railcar of the diner, before she turns and walks to slash and slags to  browse mostly cause boredom.
Jun 18 20:48:43 <Mister_Clacky>	 Smiles, a bit of tooth visible through his cheek. It oddly isn't bleeding nearly as much as it should be. "You be safe, too."
Jun 18 20:49:28 *	Blackberry_Jam stop at the door. "Seriously... should I be worried right now?"
Jun 18 20:50:24 <Mister_Clacky>	 "No, not yet."
Jun 18 20:50:31 *	Scrap smiles wide, "thanks, North_Star!"
Jun 18 20:51:17 *	Blackberry_Jam is dubious, but also confident that Splotches wouldn't do anything to seriously hurt himself. "Right... take care." She says, closing the door and slinking away.
Jun 18 20:51:46 <Mister_Clacky>	 Blackberry_Jam can see Thunder_Strike heading across the 'square' toward Slash and Slag's
Jun 18 20:52:17 *	Blackberry_Jam calls out to here, asking not to go too far. They needed to leave, and they needed to leave now. And where the hell is Snack Cake?
Jun 18 20:53:24 *	North_Star grunted indifferently, he never liked young ponies. Scrap was okay, but he was still a little green.
Jun 18 20:53:28 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake is visible by the gate talking good-naturedly with the Sheriff. Probably debating something innocuous like 'checkers or chess'.
Jun 18 20:53:28 *	Thunder_Strike stops and looks at Blackberry_Jam. She nods and just walks over to the doctor. She wasn't going there for any particular reason.
Jun 18 20:54:07 *	Blackberry_Jam calls out to her, too. This train needed to leave the station.
Jun 18 20:54:43 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake waves, she is by the only exit, so she won't be left behind.
Jun 18 20:56:12 *	Scrap starts following Blackberry_Jam still wearing the smile, "come on, Strawberry_Daiquiri. Let's get moving."
Jun 18 20:57:02 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri trots along to keep up.
Jun 18 20:57:52 *	Blackberry_Jam looks at the group's newest member dubiously. No point in being a bitch about it. It's her death wish. She extends a hoof to the mare and nods. "Blackberry Jam, company doctor. I just want you to know that, no matter what Kam... Scrap, tells you, we can't guarantee your safety. I hope you're okay with that."
Jun 18 20:58:41 *	North_Star follows both Scrap and Strawberry out, joining up with Blackberry_Jam
Jun 18 21:00:38 *	North_Star has quit (Connection closed)
Jun 18 21:01:01 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"I'll take care of myself i have been doing so for 3 years now"
Jun 18 21:01:28 *	Blackberry_Jam gives her a leveled gaze. "You haven't been in Buckago long, have you?"
Jun 18 21:02:06 *	Thunder_Strike flys a few feet above them testing out her new attached weapon.
Jun 18 21:02:12 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"no I just arived yesterday
Jun 18 21:02:20 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake falls into line with them as they head out on the three-day trek to Slaughterhouse. Should get there by the deadline... She swallows hard at the thought.
Jun 18 21:03:33 *	Blackberry_Jam shakes her head. "Yesterday? You ever met a ghoul before, Daiquiri? Or a Loopy? Or a Cinderwolf? Or a Slaughterhous Slaver?"
Jun 18 21:05:40 <Mister_Clacky>	 Things are uneventful to start their trip over the familiar path between Railyard and Trestle. They make it to the collapsed buildings without incident. The alley path stands open for them.
Jun 18 21:06:29 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	"we had plenty of probles back on the farm with all maner of foul beast"
Jun 18 21:07:17 *	Blackberry_Jam continues to shake her head and looks away. "This isn't your farm anymore, kid. This... this is hell on earth."
Jun 18 21:08:32 *	Thunder_Strike "pfft. Girl, you haven't seen nothing yet. bJ was right, this place is hell on earth."
Jun 18 21:09:34 <Strawberry_Daiquiri>	mater of factly looks Blackberry_Jam strait in the eye and says "what do you think that my farm was in a stable or somthing, no it was in the middle of the waists what protection we we made"
Jun 18 21:10:26 <Scrap>	"It's not worse than anywhere else. Where I grew up we got attacked by raiders damn near everyday."
Jun 18 21:11:59 *	Blackberry_Jam returns the glare with unflinching nerve. "Shut up, Scrap. I'm not happy that you brought some... Tenderhoof with us. And," she says matter-of-factly back, "I don't care where you lived. You live here now, and this city is unforgiving. Brutal. Harsh. Unrelenting. This city will -kill- you."
Jun 18 21:13:59 *	North_Star ([email protected]) has joined
Jun 18 21:14:00 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri glances at Scrap then turns Blackberry_Jam and says "In fact one time me and my pa had to drive off a deathclaw"
Jun 18 21:15:19 *	Blackberry_Jam rolls her eyes. "Don't make it a contest, kid. I've seen things that'd make a deathclaw cringe."
Jun 18 21:17:00 <Mister_Clacky>	 There is a shifting of rubble that the group instantly notices. The stones cartwheeling down the slope of the destroyed building.
Jun 18 21:17:07 <Scrap>	"Didn't you say not to make it a contest?"
Jun 18 21:17:29 <Blackberry_Jam>	"Didn't I tell you to shut up?"
Jun 18 21:18:23 <Scrap>	"Why should I shu-" he notices the rubble. "What was that?"
Jun 18 21:19:12 *	Blackberry_Jam stops short and slowly raises her head to look at the top of the slope.
Jun 18 21:19:15 *	Thunder_Strike has had things done to her that would make everyone in the party cringe.
Jun 18 21:20:03 *	North_Star joins Blackberry_Jam in looking up at the top of the slope, already drawing his new rifle.
Jun 18 21:22:06 <Mister_Clacky>	 They can see among the rubble a pair of eyes on long stalks. The slime covered creature slithers over the rubble with more speed than one would expect. The rubble pops and sizzles against it's thich coating of slime. Other eyestalks are visible among the rubble as the Slagslugs start to swarm.
Jun 18 21:22:40 *	Blackberry_Jam nods slowly. "Like... that. Just like that."
Jun 18 21:28:17 *	North_Star sling his rifle over his back, his tail whipping out his revolver and firing two shots at the closest slug, then one at the second closest.
Jun 18 21:33:43 <Mister_Clacky>	 North_Star fires three times, putting a bullet in two of the slugs, his middle shot landing between them. The bullet buries into their yielding flesh. The spot sizzles.
Jun 18 21:34:47 *	North_Star takes a few steps back from the approching slugs, "Back up, I ain't cleaning no puddles today."
Jun 18 21:37:30 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake pulls her recharger pistol out and fires at the gross things! She may have closed her eyes a few times, but she managed to hit the nearest one twice! It writhes as the energy blasts sear off its protective slime covering and cauter the flesh beneath.
Jun 18 21:39:47 *	Scrap makes some dumb choices, but he's dumb enough to try punching them. He pulls out his 9mm and takes carful aim at the nearest.
Jun 18 21:41:47 <Scrap>	Not*

Jun 18 21:54:46 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri pulls her pistol and unloads three shots at the nearest slug-thing"
Jun 18 21:55:14 <Mister_Clacky>	 Strawberry_Daiquiri's shots go wide of their mark.
Jun 18 21:57:17 *	Thunder_Strike "oh goody, lets see how well berry blaster and screaming Slagga work together." She says then takes aim at the slugs and fires two shots from each in an alternatin right left right pattern.
Jun 18 21:58:52 <Mister_Clacky>	 Thunder_Strike is surprised, then, to find out that her saddles were linked by the industrious Slash! She looses four twinshots at the slugs!
Jun 18 22:03:40 <Mister_Clacky>	 Thunder_Strike's first three twinshots ignite the one North_Star had clipped with his third shot, it writhes and burns to ash. He last shot cores a slug cresting a hill of debris and turn it to purple ash.
Jun 18 22:05:00 <Mister_Clacky>	 Blackberry_Jam can see the gravely injured slug is still squirming, as are three other slugs in the rubble.
Jun 18 22:07:12 *	Blackberry_Jam frowns slightly. Berry Blaster. Pfff. With a frown, she draws her shotgun and fires off a pair of shots at one of the uninjured onces.
Jun 18 22:12:02 *	Snack_Cake ([email protected]) has joined
Jun 18 22:15:11 <Mister_Clacky>	 Blackberry_Jam's new shotgun, complete with full-choke, reaches out and touches a nearby slug, peppering it with shot. It's blown backward, slime splattering the rubble behind it with a hiss, but it is still moving.

Jun 18 22:19:56 *	Pony_89916 has quit (Quit: Farewell!)
Jun 18 22:20:09 <Mister_Clacky>	 One of the very injured slugs flings itself at Blackberry_Jam, striking her left hindleg. It wraps around, it's acidic slime burning.
Jun 18 22:21:09 *	Blackberry_Jam yelps in pain as the acid cinges her coat. "Gah, fuck!" She shakes her leg a little to get the fucker off!
Jun 18 22:21:30 <Mister_Clacky>	 Two fling themselves up at Thunder_Strike, one wrapping around each hind leg.
Jun 18 22:23:15 <Mister_Clacky>	 The last flings itself at Scrap, adhering to his chest.
Jun 18 22:25:14 *	Scrap cries out once the acid get's inside his armor.
Jun 18 22:26:01 <Thunder_Strike>	Yelps and is dragged down to the ground by the added weight.
Jun 18 22:28:50 *	North_Star swung his revolver towards the slug on Blackberry_Jam's leg and pulled off one shot into it. Afterwards, he aimed at the slug on Scrap and loosed two shots.
Jun 18 22:33:19 <Mister_Clacky>	 North_Star's first shot kills the slug on Blackberry_Jam. But the impact splatters her other hind leg with the slug's slime.
Jun 18 22:34:17 *	Blackberry_Jam 's legs buckle, quivering slightly. "Fuuuuck! Why would you- F-Fuck!" She curses through gritted teeth.
Jun 18 22:35:04 <Mister_Clacky>	 The Slug on Scrap holds tight as the bullets pass through. Scrap gets splashed twice by gore and acidic ooze.
Jun 18 22:36:32 *	Scrap grunts through his own gritted teeth as the shots spray him.
Jun 18 22:37:23 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake doesn't want to risk shooting her friends! She waits.
Jun 18 22:38:30 *	Scrap brings his gun up with his tail to five shots at the slugs on his chest.
Jun 18 22:41:31 <Mister_Clacky>	 The bullets pass through the adhered slug, ichor and acid are splattered back against him. The Slagslug looks nonplussed, as much as a slug can.
Jun 18 22:41:51 *	Scrap cries out louder as the acid starts burning deep.
Jun 18 22:48:13 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri trots over to scrap, and rears up then swings on the one attached to scrap
Jun 18 22:53:58 *	Grim ([email protected]) has joined
Jun 18 22:54:41 <Mister_Clacky>	 Strawberry_Daiquiri only connects once, but the cross knocks the slug of Scrap's chest to the ground. Her armor over her forleg sizzles a bit. Snack_Cake, seeing it knocked free, fires!
Jun 18 22:55:47 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake only hits it once, though.
Jun 18 23:00:52 *	Thunder_Strike "KOTUMBA!" She yells trying to buck the slugs off her legs.
Jun 18 23:06:32 <Mister_Clacky>	 Thunder_Strike bucks back, managing to fling the clinging slugs off her legs.
Jun 18 23:08:14 *	Thunder_Strike grits her teeth a bit then opens her wings and flys up high enough to get out of there range and for her shoots to be more effective, then fires once.
Jun 18 23:09:08 <Mister_Clacky>	 Thunder_Strike
Jun 18 23:09:15 <Mister_Clacky>	 's shot goes wide
Jun 18 23:09:34 *	Blackberry_Jam looks around at the ponies shooting themselves, and glares at North_Star. A little wobbly on her burned hindhooves, she pumps some more buckshot into the slug on the ground.
Jun 18 23:12:07 <Mister_Clacky>	 The blast sends the slug rolling, but its still wiggling back to what passes for "rightside up" for it.
Jun 18 23:13:47 *	Blackberry_Jam shoots it again! Stay down! She switches targets and fires off another shot a different slug.
Jun 18 23:15:38 <Mister_Clacky>	 Blackberry_Jam's follow up shot smears the slug across the rubble.
Jun 18 23:17:20 <Mister_Clacky>	 Blackberry_Jam's wheels and tries to finish the slug by Thunder_Strike she'd blasted earlier, but her shotgun jams.
Jun 18 23:18:23 <Mister_Clacky>	 The thick, burning slime the slugs left behind seep in more where the critters had once been attached.
Jun 18 23:20:23 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri has quit (Connection closed)
Jun 18 23:21:01 <Mister_Clacky>	 The two living slugs near Thunder_Strike hurl themselves at North_Star and Strawberry_Daiquiri respectively
Jun 18 23:22:15 *	Strawbeery_Daiquiri ([email protected]) has joined
Jun 18 23:23:28 <Mister_Clacky>	 The first slug hits North_Star in the right foreleg, wrapping around it. It's touch burning. The second slug launches at Strawbeery_Daiquiri, hitting her in the neck and curling around the back of her head.
Jun 18 23:27:26 *	Strawbeery_Daiquiri is now known as Strawberry_Daiquiri
Jun 18 23:28:25 *	North_Star , in a fit of panic, wound up his slugged foreleg and attempted to slam the slug off of his limb and onto the ground.
Jun 18 23:28:49 <Mister_Clacky>	 The Slug is jarred free and rolls a short distance away
Jun 18 23:29:12 *	Blackberry_Jam continues to glare at North_Star. "Oh, so you punch -that- one off?"
Jun 18 23:30:26 *	North_Star drew his rifle once again, "Business at hoof, Jam!" He shouted, mainly in pain, before firing a shot at the downed slug.
Jun 18 23:32:04 <Mister_Clacky>	 North_Star blasts the shot-scarred slug, it stills.
Jun 18 23:34:31 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake doesn't want to risk firing a shot at the one on Strawberry_Daiquiri's head, so she waits.
Jun 18 23:35:59 *	Scrap after recovering from the pain a bit, sees the slug on Strawberry_Daiquiri's head and rushes over to get it off.
Jun 18 23:36:20 *	Blackberry_Jam rolls her eyes. "Stallions." she mutters, watching as Scrap tends to his responsibility.
Jun 18 23:40:16 <Mister_Clacky>	 Scrap waylays the slug, knocking it free. If you could read a slug's emotions by its eyes, it would look "grumpy".
Jun 18 23:41:22 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake sees her opportunity to shoot at the now not-on-new-friend's-face slug!
Jun 18 23:45:12 <Mister_Clacky>	 The slug is blasted by magic energy. It seems less happy than it was a moment ago.
Jun 18 23:45:28 <North_Star>	Everypony gang up on the slug!
Jun 18 23:47:54 *	Strawberry_Daiquiri not waisting anytime she trots over to the slug and wailies it
Jun 18 23:51:36 <Mister_Clacky>	 Strawberry_Daiquiri stomps at the slug, managing to smack it once.
Jun 18 23:58:09 *	Blackberry_Jam shoots the damn thing. "Why. Won't. These. Fucking. Things. Die!" She growls, clearing her jam and putting a single shot into the slug.
Jun 19 00:00:31 <Mister_Clacky>	 The shot peppers the last slug, it's sits there in defiance.
Jun 19 00:01:00 <Mister_Clacky>	 ...and then seems to melt in on itself. It's body goes slack.
Jun 19 00:03:58 <Mister_Clacky>	The slugs may be dead, but the acid coating the party still burns
Jun 19 00:04:12 *	Blackberry_Jam slumps a little, eventually collapsing to her aching, burning haunches. She looks around. "I don't suppose anypony has some... baking powder, or some sort of basic substance? It'd make this a whole lot cleaner..." She says, her breathing a little heavy.
Jun 19 00:05:24 *	North_Star shakes his burning foreleg. "Moonshine? Will that work?"
Jun 19 00:05:42 *	Scrap head starts swimming and he looses his balance as he tries to take a step and falls over.
Jun 19 00:05:43 *	Thunder_Strike grits her teeth and falls to the ground landing with a thump on her burning haunches. "It burns!"
Jun 19 00:06:19 *	Blackberry_Jam nods slowly, still glaring at the stallion. "Yeah, pour alcohol into an open, festering acid burn... see how that works..."
Jun 19 00:08:24 *	North_Star finally returned the glare. "Well excuse me for not being trained in that kind of shit." He snarked, still shaking his hoof. "And do you think it would've been better if I sat there and watched while the damn slug was eating at your leg?"
Jun 19 00:08:50 *	Blackberry_Jam just shakes her head at North_Star. "I'm serious though... anypony... have something to treat acid burns?" She asks, starting just clean herself off with water and a rag. "Ffffffffuuuuck..." she mutters.
Jun 19 00:10:16 *	Pantzar ([email protected]) has joined
Jun 19 00:12:12 *	North_Star looked his foreleg over. The pain had numbed down a little, but that was probably because he was still a little buzzed. He took out the bottle of Moonshine and took one large swig to ease the pain more before sliding it down to Blackberry_Jam.
Jun 19 00:13:08 *	Blackberry_Jam tosses it back with a grunt. "That's not really what I meant..." She says, wrapping her legs carefully. "Anypony that can walk, help those that can't. We should get off the road."
Jun 19 00:13:17 <Mister_Clacky>	 Snack_Cake does have some baking soda.
Jun 19 00:14:53 *	Thunder_Strike tries to stand up but fails completely. "OW!" She screams when weigh is put in her hind legs and she flops back down.
Jun 19 00:15:41 *	Blackberry_Jam smiles at Snack. "Give it here, then." She says, slowly climbing to her hooves and kneeling next to Scrap. "Okay, Kamikaze. You first. Thunder, wings. Come on." She mutters.
Jun 19 00:16:39 *	North_Star stands up, keeping the pressure off of his burned hoof, he decides it best to keep his distance from Blackberry_Jam for a moment and just stands watch, reloading his revolver.
Jun 19 00:17:21 *	Scrap tries to sit up and is rather wobbly.
Jun 19 00:17:55 *	Thunder_Strike she sits there and stares at Blackberry_Jam then uses her wings and flys up a bit. "Heh... That still hurt like hell."
Jun 19 00:18:07 *	Blackberry_Jam pours the baking soda all over Scrap's numerous acid wounds. "That means you, Kamikaze. Don't try to walk, or your leg might fall off." With the acid neutralized, she begins bandaging.
Jun 19 00:20:52 *	Scrap 's legs are completely fine, his torso however is damaged to the bone.
Jun 19 00:21:15 <Mister_Clacky>	 The corpses of the slugs bubble and hiss, sinking into the ground. Blackberry_Jam tends the wounded. An excellent omen for the start of their trip to Slaughterhouse.
Jun 19 00:21:29 <Mister_Clacky>	 *****Session end*****
