[12:59] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 *****PnP Group 7 Session 35 Begins*****
[13:01] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Last time we saw the group of wasteland wanderers, Lily had a touching reunion with her family after two months. The filly and her family exchanged tears, apologies and hugs, while being informed of what the filly had accomplished in the two months she'd been gone
[13:02] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Though her parents were reluctant to let Lily out of their sight again, Glimmer and Widget were convinced to join the group in their reconstruction efforts for Stable 32, with the promise of a safe place to live afterwards.
[13:02] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 We now join the group the following morning, with their intended journey to Littlehorn Valley looming
06[13:02] * DotA is now known as Primer
06[13:03] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v Keen
15[13:05] * +Karina wasn't aware they were leaving so soon... and if she was aware, then she was busy brewing.
[13:05] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp is awake bright and early, looming over Keen at the Inn, waiting for his self-selected Queen to awaken
07[13:05] * @Wraith` feels suddenly more festive... no wait... that was his stomach still trying to digest noodles... Ugh, this is why he shouldn't eat... Wow... whoever smelt that... Would be lucky to survive.
04[13:06] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp is actually hovering over karina's shoulder, watching her do stuff; "What's this you're making?"
07[13:07] * +Fire_Lily is probably wide awake, showing her parents all the new magic she can do now! They've never seen her illusion spells.
[13:07] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer looks very impressed. Widget is smiling, but notes; "I was kinda hoping you might be more mechanically inclined like me. Oh well, it's still really cool."
07[13:08] * +Primer is still sleeping, laying on her back and kicking her legs like a puppy.
07[13:08] * +Keen never actually slept very well. Especially when someone was hovering over him when he slept. "... Would you kindly please stop hovering over me, Twerp? It's awfully disturbing."
15[13:08] * +Karina points out the various things she was making. "That makes it so you can walk on a wall. This one is a poison to help take down big things that don't want to fall."
04[13:09] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp blinks at Karina; "You need a thingy to walk on walls?" He then demonstrates one of his natural insectoid traits by walking up the wall without any aid
07[13:10] * +Fire_Lily smiles. "I kept practicing the whole time..." She frowns at this next part though. "I wanted to make sure that I didn't lose control of my magic again..."
07[13:10] * @Wraith` finds Twerp's hovering fairly creepy until Keen woke up... now he found it quite funny, as he stares at his still living party. "Rise and shine. And wake up to da rest of ya." The ex-soldier speaks in his usual gravelled tone.
[13:10] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer pulls Fire_Lily into a hug; "It wasn't your fault Lily. We weren't harmed, and it was an accident. You've gotten so much better now, so I think you can stop being upset with yourself for it."
07[13:11] * +Primer makes a snorting sound and wakes up, looking around herself at the others. "Nruff?"
15[13:12] * +Karina watches Twerp and rolls her eyes slightly. "Yes, Twerp, zebras don't have that, so we need to make this stuff." She turns back to her brewing. "It isn't cheating unicorn magic or flight, but it's enough."
07[13:12] * +Fire_Lily nods slightly, though she isn't all that convinced.
[13:13] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp climbs back down; "Changelings can do many things. No cheating."
07[13:15] * @Wraith` can't actually see freaking Keen... but he still finds Twerp rather annoying. And dumb. Oh so stupid.
04[13:15] * +Primer rolls onto her belly and observes Kar and Twerp talk. Needing paste to walk on walls... heh. Primer was pretty sure that she coulduse her claws to climb some surfaces. Maybe not as easily but all on her own.
[13:16] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp is pretty unintelligent. He looks to Wraith, expression hidden by the mare-do-Well outfit.
15[13:17] * +Karina "You are born with the ability to perform that feat. So yes, it's a cheat."
07[13:17] * @Wraith` squints and asks irritatedly to the changeling, "What?"
[13:17] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer nuzzles Lily, then starts to braid her mane; "So, how long are you going to stay with us before heading out with your... friends again?"
[13:18] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp sounds mildly offended; "I am a champion of justice! I would never cheat! Using what I was born with is not cheating." He looks back to Wraith`; 'You smell funny."
07[13:18] * +Keen scritchscratches his back and lets loose a snort. With a hacking cough, he became awfully aware to the fact that he was old and out of shape. Twerp wasn't there. Joy.  Must have been a dream or something.
07[13:18] * +Primer scoots to the edge of the bed she was using and rests her head in her metallic hooves. "Oh calm down, the both of you."
15[13:19] * +Karina continues her business. "Cheating... using natural born advantages... either way the balance is a bit skewed. Oh, and you're also rude."
[13:20] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp blinks; "I am? I'm sorry."
07[13:20] * +Fire_Lily finds this very comforting. "I don't know... as long as I can." She pauses briefly. "I missed you..."
07[13:20] * @Wraith` just lets out a soft quiet growlish-sigh.
[13:20] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer nuzzles her filly; "We missed you too. We thought we'd lost you."
[13:21] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget pats Lily on the shoulder; "It's good to have you back home."
07[13:21] * +Fire_Lily leans in close. "I'm sorry for making you worry..."
04[13:21] * +Primer climbs off the bed and begins pulling on her clothing, saying to Wraith`, Twerp, and Kar; "I'm going to go and check on Lily."
[13:22] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget looks upwards; "Is that distant relative pegasus of ours up yet?"
15[13:23] * +Karina looks up at Primer. "I'm nearly done... The rest I can postpone if you don't want to go alone."
07[13:24] * @Wraith` nods to Primer saying, "10-4." then shifts slightly on his haunches and looks at Twerp some more, wondering if changelings needed to breathe... that way he could either strangle it or tape it's mouth closed with duct-tape. "Hey Twerp." the jerk ghoul talks.
07[13:24] * +Primer shakkes her head. "I can manage." She gives her battle saddle a glance. "Not like I'm not protected."
[13:24] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp looks to Wraith`; "Yes ghoul pony?"
07[13:25] * @Wraith` asks, "Can you like... shapeshift bodyparts? Like... make your mouth go away or something?"
15[13:27] * +Karina "Okay." She goes back to brewing.
07[13:27] * +Fire_Lily isn't sure if Keen is awake yet or not. She's been awake for quite a while.
07[13:28] * +Keen goes to the living room, looking as if he has a /severe/ case of the mornings.
07[13:28] * +Primer finishes dressign and gearing up before opening the door and heading out. On the way she gulps down some breakfast and water by the inn's kitchen. Paid for of course.
[13:30] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp shakes his head; "Whole form or nothing."
[13:31] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget knows that look and chuckles at Keen; "Hey there sleepyhead. Can I get ya some coffee?"
07[13:33] * +Primer wanders across the shanty town, finishing up at Lily's house. She knocks on the door.
07[13:33] * +Keen waves his hoof. "No, no. I'm fine." He liked coffee before the world blew up. He didn't trust the coffee too much afterwards. "Are you-" Hack, cough, hack. "-Alright?"
[13:34] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget answers; "Hey there. What's up?"
[13:34] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 *answers the door
07[13:35] * +Primer smiles at Wiget, her helmet being strapped to her armor. "Hello, I wanted to see Lily."
07[13:36] * @Wraith` knew it would be too good to be true and says, "Damn. Would've been a good game to play. Something I like to call... 'The Silent Game',"
07[13:38] * @TenMihara|GM nods; "Come on it. She was just showcasing her newfound magical talent. I must say, I'm impressed with how much she's improved while out with you guys."
[13:38] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp perks up; "I like games. What is this silent game?"
07[13:39] * +Primer smiles and walks inside. "She's a smart little girl."
15[13:40] * +Karina snickers softly to herself while she works.
07[13:40] * +Fire_Lily is still with her mother, enjoying the feeling of being home.
[13:40] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer finishes braiding Lily's mane and moves on to her tail.
07[13:40] * @Wraith` grins a slightly devious grin, his mouth-wrappings concealing his toothy visage, as he responds to Twerp, "Oh, it's the best game ever. You keep quiet as long as possible, whoever talks first loses and has to get punched in the shoulder... hard."
[13:41] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp grins underneath his mask; "Ha! Changelings are very good at being quiet and sneaky."
07[13:42] * +Primer walks into what passes for a living room and takes off most of her ordinance as a sign of respect. "Hey Keen." She dares to give the stallion a nuzzle as she walks past, and then sits down next to Lily and Glimmer. "What's up, sis?"
[13:43] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer blinks; "Sis?"
07[13:44] * @Wraith` grins a little more and says, "Yeeaah, I noticed that. But I was trained to be quiet in the military y'know. I betcha can't beat me."
07[13:46] * +Primer grins self conchiously and rubs at the back of her neck. "Heh, well... how do I put this..."
[13:46] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp grins; "I will take that challenge." The changeling then goes completely mute. Almost unnaturally silent.
07[13:46] * +Fire_Lily gives Primer a smile. She looks very relaxed, and happy. "Good morning."
07[13:47] * @Wraith` just grins. Worked like a charm. Ahhh peace and quiet.
07[13:48] * +Primer looks up at Glimmer. "Me and Lily got along so well.. that I kid of began to call her sis."
15[13:48] * +Karina continues to work quietly. One time in Shantyshod she didn't speak for two years, so this shouldn't be too hard... Honestly she wasn't even sure if she was in the game, but she wasn't about to take a chance.
07[13:49] * +Keen smiles at Primer. Aw, hell. He's looking like a nightmare and she's already here. "Erm. Sorry." He said, trying to make his mane not quite as a mess.
07[13:49] * +Keen coughs and forces a smile. "Um. Are we ready to go?"
[13:49] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer looks up; "Go? Go where?"
07[13:50] * @Wraith` grins and is thankful for the shoulderplates in that his reinforced combat barding sported. Wait... how did this changeling fight again? He never actually saw it... oh well. Can't be too worried.
07[13:51] * +Keen blinks. "Home. Or..." He grimaced. "We could go there, if it's possible."\
04[13:52] * @Wraith` gets up and trots over to Karina to see what the zebra mare was working on.
[13:53] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp remains confident in his eerie silence
[13:54] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer raises an eyebrow; "You mean that Stable? Or that other place you mentioned?"
07[13:56] * +Fire_Lily is just as confused at Keen's cryptic response
15[13:56] * +Karina is working on smell concealing paste, wall crawling paste, sleeping powder, and a special sticky thing.
07[13:56] * +Primer gives Lily a nuzzle and blinks at Keen.
07[13:57] * @Wraith` ponders if he should be making more traps. He totally should. but he's never been lucky in finding any of the materials needed to make the more decent traps... though he could totally rig a couple of grenade bouquets.
[13:58] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget looks between Primer and Lily; "You certainly make an odd pair of sisters, but who am I to judge the terms of endearment?"
07[13:58] * +Keen stays silent. "... I want to go to Luna's School." An awkward pause filled the room as he became aware that any way of standing seemed not to be any comfort at all. "I want to go to Littlehorn if possible. But that's later. Right?"
07[14:01] * @Wraith` gets an idea and goes to leave the inn.
06[14:02] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
13[14:02] * AMARDA (petersp1@Pony-l1uf99.vf.net.nz) Quit (Client exited)
[14:02] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp follows in silence. He wasn't about to let his competetor out of sight to cheat
07[14:02] * +Primer half nods. Well, that had been discussed between her and Keen, and sh had given her support as long as he accepted whatever was found. Even if it cleared him entirely of guilt.
06[14:03] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
15[14:05] * +Karina snickers to herself once more as the two leave and she finishes up her brewing. She starts packing her things away and getting back into her gear.
07[14:05] * +Fire_Lily is a little disappointed that Keen wanted to leave so quickly, but this was important to him.
[14:06] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer looks disappointed as well; "So soon?"
07[14:06] * @Wraith` searches about to find a shovel or any pieces of scrap metal.
13[14:06] * +Keen (Thick@Pony-gkia50.dcccd.edu) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[14:09] * Keen (Fridge@Pony-ieflfe.tmodns.net) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[14:09] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v Keen
[14:10] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp follows Wraith` as he rummages. He grins inwardly as the ghoul's search for materials makes noise, while he remains entirely without sound
[14:12] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer gives Keen a disappointed look; "So soon?" (repost)
07[14:14] * +Primer tilts her head. Allways rushing about... She flops onto her side with a muffled clang.
07[14:15] * +Keen frowns. "I... Don't like having nothing to do."
07[14:16] * +Fire_Lily gives Keen a sad look. She'd like to stay a little while longer!
07[14:17] * @Wraith` smiles when he finds a shovel! Yes! A SHOVEL! Now to get something sturdy... looking about he goes off to find either a general store or a weapon merchant.
[14:20] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Wraith` finds a general store at the edge of town
07[14:20] * @Wraith` enters the store and approaches the merchant inside.
07[14:20] * +Keen looks at Lily's expression and sighs. She didn't have to go. He sometimes wonders why she did.
15[14:20] * +Karina finally has all her gear on and starts heading over to Lily's house.
[14:21] <+Keen> "... Fine."
[14:24] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer looks relieved
07[14:25] * +Fire_Lily smiles at Keen. "There's lots to do! You can just ask!"
07[14:27] * +Primer yays and rolls onto her belly. She didn't have anything against staying for a day or so.
07[14:28] * +Keen sighs in a defeated tone at her, then returns to his room to work on... Something.
07[14:31] * +Primer noses Lily, examining her mane. "So, I'm not intruding, am I?"
[14:31] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer smiles and finishes braiding Lily's tail
15[14:34] * +Karina walks into the house.
[14:34] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer gives Fire_Lily a playful look; "Since you are staying here longer, you're going to have a bath tonight young filly."
07[14:36] * +Primer blinks. "Wait, you have water to waste on bathing?"
07[14:36] * +Fire_Lily scrunches her nose slightly. Maybe just this once.
[14:37] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer loosk up; "We don't use clean water for bathing. Since we're away from the city center though, the water we do have isn't quite as bad."
07[14:38] * +Primer grins at Lily. "Heee. I wouldn't mind joining you both, if you don't mind."
07[14:41] * @TenMihara|GM looks to Lily; "The braid hides it, but your mane is a tangled mess and you smell."
07[14:41] * @Wraith` concludes his business with the shop-keeper. Not a bad haul... these spikes will be pretty useful with what he had planned with the shovel, as the ghoul pulls out a cigarette and lighter to smoke with.
[14:42] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp is still on Wraith`. he remained silent just to show how good he was at this game, even though Wraith` had already lost.
[14:43] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 *Glimmer looks to lily
07[14:43] * +Fire_Lily didn't object! Just... isn't all THAT thrilled.
07[14:43] * @Wraith` makes his way to Fire_Lily's parent's house.
15[14:47] * +Karina is likely just awkwardly standing around in an out-of-the-way place in the house.
04[14:47] * +Primer waves Karina over. Silly zebra.
[14:47] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget looks to Lily, then gives her a hug; "So, got any other new tricks to show us?"
07[14:49] * +Fire_Lily thinks for a moment. She's not really sure if she has anything else interesting to show. "I don't think so..."
06[14:49] * Hedge (Hedge@Pony-voh11s.mycingular.net) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
15[14:49] * +Karina walks on over to Primer and sits down next to the cybermare.
[14:50] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget nods; "Still, that's an impressive set of spells." He then looks to Keen; 'Speaking of which, you mentioned something else abotu a spell involving that Stable project of yours?"
07[14:53] * +Keen is in another room. "No. I mean, yes. Do you know the sunlight spell? We need that cast on an orchard's talismans to get food growing again." He called out.
[14:57] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget nods and discusses the possibile applications of sunlight spell, if they could recreate it or find instruction on it. Lily has her bath with Glimmer and Primer, and it;s fun provided Primer doesn't rust. The rest of the gang hangs around town for another day, before finally the time comes to move out and head to Littlehorn.
06[14:58] * Shadow (Shadow7777777@Pony-vr6u1u.mo.charter.com) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[15:00] * @Wraith` looks about to the assembled group and asks, "So we ready to go?"
07[15:00] * +Primer checks the fit on her battle saddle before nodding to Wraith`. "I'm good to go."
15[15:01] * +Karina "Yep." She has her cloak. She has her wings. She's ready.
[15:01] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer and Widget are there was well, still looking saddened by Lily's departure
07[15:05] * +Fire_Lily gives both of her parents a very big hug.
07[15:07] * +Keen frowns. Yup. Here it is. The moment that you've wanted for all this time. This is what you want. Right?
[15:08] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer and Widget hug Lily tight, not wanting to let go
[15:09] <+Keen> "... You know you can stay, right?"
07[15:10] * +Primer waits patiently for Lily to finish, not wanting to hurry her on none.
06[15:11] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
15[15:11] * +Karina is waiting a bit less patiently. She wants to go, get back, and get back to work on the Stable. Keep Keen from going any further insane so he can help fix it back up.
07[15:12] * +Fire_Lily doesn't really want to let go either, but there's only so much time in a day. She extends the hug for a good, long time, before she finally lets go.
[15:14] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer looks sternly to the rest of the group; "You keep her safe, alright?"
07[15:15] * @Wraith` looks over to Glimmer and nods, speaking, "Nopony left behind miss."
07[15:16] * +Keen nods slowly. "I always do."
07[15:16] * +Primer nods fervantly. "Lily's as safe as can be."
15[15:17] * +Karina "Mmhmm."
[15:19] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Glimmer nods; "We're trusting you on this." Widget notes; "Lily might be able to combine her fire and illusions to make that artificial sun spell, so you've got that much more incentive to keep her from harm, got it?"
07[15:19] * +Keen takes a deep breath, wa
07[15:21] * +Fire_Lily is interested in hearing that. She'd never thought of that before...
15[15:21] * +Karina rolls her eyes at that. "Really?"
[15:21] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget shrugs; "I figured you already had plenty of incentive, but she does seem inclined for it."
07[15:21] * +Primer gives Wiget an affronted look. "Oh, well, we'll keep that in mind then." She says, a touch sarcasticly before lifting Lily by the scruff of her neck and placing the filly on her back.
[15:22] <+Keen> And continues his slow nod. "It wouldn't matter anyway, as you said. So long."
15[15:23] * +Karina shakes her head at Widget. "Keep her safe not because the fact that she's a filly or our friend or anything else I'm sure you all had time to discuss... but you think you need to tell everyone to keep her safe because of what she can do for us..." She shakes her head again and walks out.
04[15:24] * @Wraith` snorts, zebra? Or Drama llama. Whatever. The ghoul follows after Karina.
[15:24] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Widget snorts; "Oh... yeah, that didn't come off quite the way I wanted to."
[15:27] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The group departs before Widget has a chance to make himself look even more ridiculous. The journey to Littlehorn valley is made easy by the presence of Pipbucks and Keen's knowledge. It still takesa full five days of travel to reach the school, but those days are mercifully free from trouble
15[15:28] * +Karina is invisible. Because screw being seen, smelt, or heard.
07[15:28] * +Primer feels that this cannot be a good thing. The lack of a random encounter does not bode well for the future.
07[15:30] * +Fire_Lily is feeling a lot better after spending time with her parents. She's feeling a lot more cheerful.
07[15:31] * +Keen , however, seems to go very slightly slower with each step.
[15:32] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 As the group reaches the valley, they start to feel a lingering sense of dread. It's inexplicable, irrational, but ultimately justified, given the massacre that took place here. The entire valley smells of death and centures old decay. One one side, the river that runs through the valley, responsible for carving Crescent Moon Canyon. On the other, a jungle that stood on the border of the zebra homeland
04[15:33] * @Wraith` adopts a sneaking stance and looks over at Karina... wait... where was she? Damn... invisibility cloaks... "Karina.." he asks quietly.
15[15:34] * +Karina can't speak out from under the cloak, because woohoo sensory foil. But she does move over and tap Wraith`'s shoulder gently to let him know she's there.
07[15:35] * +Primer keeps inconspicous as she walks silently towards their destination, helmet on her head. "Lovely place.." She mutters, the helmets diafragm making her voice tinny, and creepily robotic.
07[15:36] * @Wraith` jerks and blinks looking about.... well since he wasn't dead and he saw the others weren't touching him, he had to assume it must've been the invisible zebra mare. "This place I hear is bad... real bad... let's keep it tight, we need you to be our eyes." looking at Keen he says, "Keen, you probably know this place like the back of your hoof. Tell us where to go."
07[15:37] * +Fire_Lily follows carefully behind, trying to keep just as hidden as the others.
15[15:38] * +Karina taps Wraith`'s shoulder twice more then backs off a bit. She looks around the area first with just her eyes, then once more with her EFS.
[15:38] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 There's a lot of noise coming from the jungle, but nothing creeping outside of its borders. Yet
[15:39] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The Jungle is filled with red for those who have their EFS on
07[15:39] * @Wraith` always has his EFS on... damn... lots of red.
07[15:40] * +Keen looked... Tired. Like he was a sponge for all of the dread of this place. He knew what this way lead to. He began to march in a military cadence unconsciously. One, two, three, four, what's only a few lives more?
13[15:41] * +Keen (Fridge@Pony-ieflfe.tmodns.net) Quit (Quit: Bye)
[15:43] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The noises of the jungle seem content to stay within their borders, only the occasional pair of eyes poking out of the darkness to see what, if anything, had come to the doorstep.
15[15:44] * +Karina ponders the idea of just firing wildly into the jungle to see what came out... but that would be dumb. She then follows after Keen, her skittish eyes keeping a lookout for anything that might be dangerous. Nervous zebra is nervous.
07[15:44] * +Primer sighs. Well, red on one side, and death on the other... Fun fun fun!
06[15:45] * Keen (chatzilla@Pony-lke6ca.res.rr.com) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[15:45] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v Keen
06[15:46] * Hedge_ (Hedge@Pony-r1r6ev.tn.comcast.net) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[15:46] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The river eventually reaches a bend. Down one path it continued on into the canyon. The other led to a small lake right on the Edge of Luna' s Magical Academy. Keen might remember his nephews talking about how the students could swim their on their breaks or weekends.
07[15:47] * @Wraith` speaks quietly to the group... huh... what was that tromping sound? Was it Primer? had to be... with that large battle-saddle. Looking to each group member other than the zebra he says, "Alright before we go any further, let's set up a formation. We call it the Diamond Tiara formation. Named after some skank, anyway, Fire_Lily, you're in the middle, I'll stick ahead of you,
07[15:47] * @Wraith` Keen, take her left side, Primer the right."
07[15:48] * +Keen simply trots up to the lake and stares into it for a little while. After a moment of contemplation, his expression darkening into somepony who's... Lost. He puts his leg in it, and cups it with his hoof. He remembers.
15[15:49] * +Karina heads tot he only spot not named in the presumed diamond shaped formation
[15:49] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The water of the lake is surprisingly clear after all this time.
13[15:49] * Hedge (Hedge@Pony-voh11s.mycingular.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[15:49] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp remains quiet, sticking close to Keen
[15:49] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 "Why you sad Queen Keen?"
07[15:50] * @Wraith` turns to Twerp and says, "Twerp, you stick behind Fire_Lily, keep her safe at all times, you hear me?"
15[15:50] * +Karina 'oh's to herself...
07[15:51] * +Fire_Lily feels confident! She falls into formation readily.
07[15:52] * @Wraith` assumes the forward position, doing his best to watch for any potential threats.
07[15:53] * +Keen can feel the lines deepening on his face, the wrinkles and scars made themselves known in this moment of contemplation. "... I'm fine. I'm fine, Twerp." No you're not. That's why you came here.
07[15:53] * +Primer shrugs and keeps to the right side. Her EFS up and running.
[15:54] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Beyond the lake lies the school itself. A once majestic four tiered magical academy, it now lies in a state of ruin. Much of the perimeter wall has collapsed, leaving only the main gate posts intact. The gates themselves were locked with rust, while a pair of inactive magical energy turrst stood atop to posts. wood wreckage can still be seen around the gate area.
06[15:56] * Hedge_ is now known as Hedge
07[15:56] * @Wraith` looks at the magical energy turrets for a moment, then turns and looks at the group, raising a hoof to silently tell them to hold position.
15[15:58] * +Karina is still taking in everything she can, eyes glancing between her EFS and the actual area around her.
07[15:59] * +Keen follows the rest over, then motions that they stay put. "... Find some cover, I'm going to make sure that these don't come alive again." If only you had done it in the first place. He felt his own reproach's bite, a sting so bitter for a fault so slight.
04[16:00] * @Wraith` blinks and looks at Keen sternly saying quietly to him, "Don't... move. Let Karina do her job."
04[16:00] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Karina feels kind of wierded out by her EFS. It's showing the two turrets, being currently inactive, are not registering at all, but inside the school itself... She can see a small host of red lights moving through the school, as well as a solitary green one.
15[16:05] * +Karina heads forward, slowly working her way around the gates and over the wall, slowly towards the school. She stops before she actually reaches it though, and sends a quick message back to the others through use of pipbuck. 'Bunch of red inside. One green. Outside turrets are down.'
04[16:07] * +Keen frowned. "... Okay." His throat was scratchy and hurt. The flashbacks were incoming hard and fast. The scorched remains of zebra flesh, the screeching of everything going wrong. "... There shouldn't be /anything/ left, Karina. They used... Something wrong here. There should be nothing left here." He felt fear creep up from his gullet. What could have survived, what could survive? "Is...
07[16:07] * +Keen ...somepony in trouble?"
07[16:07] * +Fire_Lily looks up at the creepy looking building, whispering, "This was... a school?" It's /very/ creepy.
07[16:09] * +Primer 's helmet turns to study the school. "I don't like it..."
[16:09] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The sign over the gate is scorched and rusted and otherwise illegible
07[16:10] * @Wraith` thinks of the situation for a moment and looks to the group speaking quietly, "Okay, we need an objective. I'm not willing to risk getting you all killed for absolutely nothing." Looking to pegasus stallion that drug them here he asks, "Keen, what are you looking for exactly here?"
07[16:11] * +Keen sighed deeply. "I... I don't fucking know." Once again, his conscience lead him somewhere his head never got the memo about. "... We have to get that green thing out, right? Is that a proper enough objective?"
[16:13] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The signals inside the school flicker, as though the EFS is having a hard time recognizing them. Or maybe there was some lingering magic on the school meant to prevent detection in the event of an emergency.
07[16:14] * +Primer fidgets, her helmet constantly turned to the school as Keen and Wraith` talks.
04[16:15] * @Wraith` looks at Keen for a moment and says, "Might as well be then. Alright, so that's our objective." pondering for a moment, he speaks quietly to the group, "So we have a couple of choic--" stopping as his EFS flickers, the grizzled ghoul frowns and curses silently to himself. Shaking his head he continues, "So we have a couple of choices. If Karina feels up for it, she scouts
07[16:15] * @Wraith` ahead then reports for the sit-rep and we act accordingly. Or... we can move in cohesively as a unit, but we all risk whatever is here."
15[16:15] * +Karina blinks and sends another message with her pipbuck. 'Now they're flickering on and off on EFS.'
15[16:16] * +Karina doesn't do that because apparently everyone can see it now.
07[16:17] * +Keen frowns deeply. "There's a M.E. disturbance in here. I don't think Pipbuck communication will go through properly for that to work."
15[16:18] * +Karina rolls her eyes. Stupid old unicorn magicy school.s
[16:19] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp sticks close to Keen; "Stronger together."
07[16:20] * +Primer is inclined to agree with Twerp, for once. "Together sounds good..."
[16:20] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp chitters happily at the agreement
04[16:22] * @Wraith` nods and says quietly, "Alright then, Karina stick near me. No one runs off on their own, at any time. We stick together as a group, fall back tactically if and when you can, but don't ditch each other."
07[16:22] * +Fire_Lily nods. She'd feel more comfortable together.
07[16:23] * +Keen slowly begins to trot towards the building with that. "Follow me." . Flashes of melted flesh on the cobblestone flashed through his mind. It'll be over soon. It will be over soon. It will be over soon.
15[16:24] * +Karina 'Okay.' She falls back to Wraith's side, pulling out her pistol as she does so.
07[16:24] * +Primer rolls her eyes and keeps behind Keen like a shadow capable of stupid amounds of mayhem.
06[16:25] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
[16:25] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 As soon as the group crosses through the gate, all hell breaks loose. Well, most of it at least. "WARNING! UNAUTHORIZED PRESENCE DETECTED! OMEGA LEVEL THREAT PROTOCOLS IN EFFECT! INITIATING EMERGENCY SHIELDING! ACTIVATING PERIMITER DEFENSES!"
[16:26] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 A spark can be seen in the sky above the school, and a massive, translucent pink shield forms around the perimeter of the the school. At the same time, the turrets flare to life and swivel to target the first thing they can spot.
07[16:27] * +Primer twists and turns where she stands, being a little faster on the uptake due to it being night, she aims her grenade machine gun at the turrets and lets loose.
07[16:28] * @Wraith` growls out, "Fuck! Lily, take cover now!" Doing his best to keep the filly shielded.
07[16:29] * +Keen seems like a shadow himself. At least, until that little thing happened. Hell broke loose. Again. Nononononono. Not again not again not again not again
15[16:32] * +Karina 's eyes go wide as everything goes to crap. She jumps out of the way of the lasers and looks around to find all the turrets.
[16:33] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The turrents unleash a barrage of magical energy blasts at Twerp, the closest thing to them. The changeling is lucky he has a hard shell beneath his mare-do-well outfit. The blasts sear through the costume easily, leaving the changeling bady burned undeneath. He staggers back, wounded but not disintegrated mercifully
06[16:33] * HoboSchool (dckhonafhwjfy@Pony-9kb3po.bigpond.net.au) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[16:35] * +Primer unleashes twin bursts, on at each of the turrets.
15[16:35] * +Karina gets -out- of the splash zone.
07[16:37] * +Primer -really- doesn't like laser weapons.
06[16:37] * Karina is now known as Kar-BRB
[16:40] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Primer's hatred for magical energy weapons shows as she blows both turrets away instantly, leaving nothing behind. However, beyond the turrets, the shield doesn't even seem to flicker form the explosions.
07[16:40] * +Primer waits for the dust to settle. "Everypony okay?" She asks.
[16:41] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp groans, a number of holes burnt in his outfit and his melted carapace leaking a green fluid in several places
07[16:41] * @Wraith` responds, "I'm good... Lily are you alright?" as he looks at Fire_Lily.
[16:42] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp staggers; "Not so good."
07[16:43] * +Primer kicks the reload lever and keeps an eye out for more turrets.
[16:44] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Primer can see the ruin of a few other perimeter turrets mixed in with the rubble of the eroded wall in several places
06[16:44] * Kar-BRB is now known as Karina
07[16:45] * +Fire_Lily is a little distressed, but is alright. She nods. "I'm okay."
07[16:45] * +Keen races over to Twerp. "Lie down. Don't you fucking /dare/ die on me. Don't you fucking /dare/." He's seen too much. Been through too much. He won't let him die. Not like this, not again.
[16:45] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp lays down, wincing as he does so. He wasn't about to disobey and order from his Queen in this condition
07[16:46] * @Wraith` goes into a stealth position and watches down the road, checking his EFS to make sure nothing snuck up on them.
07[16:46] * +Keen whips out a pair of potions and his bandages. "Lie down, you're going to be fine, alright? You're going to be fine." He's taking this a lot worse than he usually does.
15[16:46] * +Karina is now looking around for anything that might try to come and life and shoot at them.
[16:46] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 nothign distinct from the endless stream of red in the direction of the Jungle
07[16:47] * +Fire_Lily looks at Twerp, somewhat worried.
[16:47] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp lets out a few clicks and shirps that mean nothing to the party
[16:47] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 chirps*
15[16:47] * +Karina looks back at the school and the blips on the EFS, trying to figure out if they were at a central or periphery location inside of the school.
[16:48] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The group is currently standing near the main entrance hall, with signs pointing towards the dormitories and recreational area
[16:49] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerps wounds heal slowly, and Keen can tell that there's been some internal damage. As well, the changelings left insectoid wing, fragile as it was, was burnt down to a nub.
07[16:52] * +Keen pressed his hooves against his face. "Twerp, Twerp! Are you conscious?" He begins to do some basic bandagework to ensure that he didn't move too much. "You've suffered a lot of damage, Twerp. You're going to have to... Shit, I'm sorry Twerp."
[16:53] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp trills softly; "Happy to serve you, Queen Keen." He passes out]
[16:55] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 In spite of the repairs to his surface injuries, the Changeling looks to be in a lot of pain from internal wounds and the loss of his wing
07[16:55] * +Keen starts to feel a little faint. Too much stress, all at once. He felt ready to explode. He felt angry, at the school, mostly at himself. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Keen buried his eyes in his hooves. Another pony you trusted injured by your idea. Is this your idea of fun, Keen?
07[16:55] * +Fire_Lily frowns. She hopes Twerp will be okay... She likes Twerp.
07[16:56] * +Primer looks back to the group from shere she stands guard. That didn't look too good... she sympathised.
15[16:57] * +Karina is still trying to see the general location of the EFS targets inside of the school.
07[16:57] * @Wraith` turns over and looks at Keen asking with a furrowed rotted brow, "How's he doin doc?" turning towards Twerp, the ghouls curses again. No, not now... this place was a supposed death trap. Turning back to the pegasus stallion in the party, the ghoul trots over to him and taps him on the shoulder, "Keen. Can you revive him? We just made our position alert to any possible
07[16:57] * @Wraith` hostiles in the area."
[16:58] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 all of the EFS marks can be seen in the main building of the school. The dormitories and recreational center near the lake are free of any signs.
07[16:58] * +Keen frowned. "... We need to get to the clinic. Now. He's suffering from a lot of internal damage, he needs care /now/." He dragged Twerp onto his back. He knew exactly where it was, too. "Eyes open, follow me. We'll take this slow."
[16:58] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp opens his eyes and trills softly; "Yes my QUeen."
07[16:59] * +Fire_Lily frowns. "Careful... maybe I should lift him?"
07[17:01] * +Keen snarls instinctively, protectively. "I've got him!" He snapped, perhaps a little too loud. What the hell are you doing, Keen? She only wanted to help. His expression fell into dread. "... I'm sorry. I-I got him. Don't worry."
15[17:02] * +Karina turns her head and blinks invisibly at Keen. Wonderful... this definitely isn't going as planned... They needed to get in, get to the security, shut it down, and just leave.
07[17:02] * +Primer follows the rest, covering the rear.
07[17:02] * @Wraith` snorting, he looks over at the rest of the party and speaks, "Then to the clinc, eyes sharp, stay frosty. Lily you're with me at all times." the ghoul stallion motions and waits for the filly to follow, only moving when she does so.
07[17:03] * +Fire_Lily keeps frowning. "O...okay." She follows Wraith.
15[17:06] * +Karina moves to follow, still keeping a skittish lookout.
13[17:07] * Hedge (Hedge@Pony-r1r6ev.tn.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: 101st Commander at Bastonge to the Germans- "Nuts."  How his courier translated to the Germans- "Go to hell.")
07[17:11] * +Keen starts heading towards the Clinic.
06[17:12] * No_One (No_One@Pony-s766e7.nb.bellaliant.net) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[17:19] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 As they enter the main building of the school, an administrative office can be seen just off to the side. The gloom of the atmosphere is made even worse by the ever present, foal sized, pink tainted skeletons laying around throughout the hallways.
[17:20] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Some of them are still standing up, melted part way into the floor
15[17:20] * +Karina grimaces a bit and goes to peek into the administrative office.
15[17:20] * +Karina grimaces a lot, actually, but...
[17:20] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The administrative office is a simple, sparata affair. A few filing cabinets, a desk with a terminal, and a skeleton seated by that terminal.
07[17:21] * +Keen 's tearing up a little bit. Well, a lot, actaually, but...
15[17:22] * +Karina goes to see if the terminal is turned on.
07[17:22] * +Primer tries to avoid stepping on one of the poor skeletons... she wasn't -that- fazed by it, but she was avoiding looking at the things.
[17:22] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The terminal is still logged on, an alert flashing on it. "Toxic substance detected. Concentration at lethal levels. Evacuation recommended."
15[17:24] * +Karina tries to close out the alert and see if there was a main menu.
[17:25] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The alert doesn't go away, but can be minimized, showing a number of administrative functions. Student records, truancy reports, attendance sheets, records from the clinic, and plans for the coming spring's graduation.
07[17:25] * @Wraith` spots the pinked foal skeletons and feels fairly for a momentary pang of sadness... these poor foals... just trying to study and learn new magics. But death was everywhere and this wasn't the first time he'd seen skeletons of aged ponies... Steeling his resolve again, the ghoul looks about, remembering to keep his vigil over Fire_Lily.
[17:26] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The school seems to be pervaded by a low, almost imperceptible whining noise. Wraith` can't hear it at all, but the rest of the group might have a ringing in their ears
07[17:26] * +Fire_Lily is still somewhat creeped out by this place. She sticks with Wraith, not daring to stray.
[17:27] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The terminal also has a floor plan accompanying the class lists, as well as names of various teachers
15[17:27] * +Karina looks through the administrative functions, looking for anything that might give a hint as to where security is handled, or perhaps a map of the place.
07[17:27] * +Primer looks around. "Gastly..."
15[17:27] * +Karina finds the floor plan and pulls it up, again looking for where security is handled.
04[17:28] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The security room is on the third floor, next to the teacher's lounge. The classrooms are labeled according to teacher, with a pull down menu for the student roster. One name in particular sticks out to Karina. 'Doo'
07[17:28] * +Keen 's breathing is labored. He sees Raynor and Reisand on every one of those skeletonized faces, melted into the ground. He didn't... He didn't mean any of it. He didn't want that to happen.
15[17:31] * +Karina looks to see if she can download the map to her pipbuck and, if she can, does so, and either way leaves it and starts to look for the stairs up.
07[17:31] * +Keen begins going towards the dormatories. His unnaturally tired legs ached with every new step.
[17:31] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The map is downloadable. Twerp twitches on Keen's back; "That noise. Make it stop."
07[17:32] * +Primer turns to Twerp. "You hear it too?"
07[17:32] * @Wraith` continues to follow after Keen, occassionally checking his EFS, standing at the pegasus stallion's side, the ghouls looks at Twerp strangely and asks, "What noise?"
15[17:32] * +Karina sends out a quick message on her pipbuck to everyone. 'Security is on the third floor. We need to go shut it off.'
[17:32] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The message reaches the other pipbucks garbled, half the letters missing.
07[17:32] * +Keen was starting to get a headache. "That... That noise. That whining noise. You don't hear it?" His voice was tired and breathy.
04[17:33] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Karina's Pipbuck flashes an alert about a communication error.
07[17:34] * +Primer looks around, then at her pipbuck. "Tech is acting up..." She then looks around worriedly... if the school messed up communication from pipbuck tp pipbuck... what if it could mess her up as well?
07[17:35] * +Fire_Lily frowns. The noise is bothering her a bit too.
[17:35] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 As Keen progresses down the hallway, he passes in front of a classroom. The moment he steps in front of the door, the buzzing sound gets louder, and his head starts to pound with a furious headache. Twerp screeches in severe pain
07[17:36] * +Primer blanches as Twerp screeches. "What? What is it?"
[17:36] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 twerp shrieks; "Noise! Pain! Make it stop! PLEASE!"
07[17:37] * +Keen winces hard and falls back, then frantically drags Twerp back towards him. OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW
[17:38] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp calms as he's dragged away from the noise, but there's a noticable neaon green stain on his mask and hat where his ears would be
07[17:39] * +Fire_Lily frowns. She gets an idea, and casts her sound dampening spell, around the group.
15[17:40] * +Karina grumble grumble grumbles at the pipbuck, then looks up at bit worried at Keen and Twerp. Oh jeez... She stomps a hoof then looks back at the stairs... She taps twice on Wraith`'s shoulder in the same place she had before, trying to get his attention.
[17:40] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp still seems agitated, but the others are granted some relief from the skull splitting noise
04[17:41] * @Wraith` turns to the tap and again doesn't see anything. Well since he's still alive, it must be the zebra mare as everyone else was in sight and only Lily was next to him, but she was on the other side of the tapping. "What's the sit-rep?" he asks out, persuming it had to be Karina.
07[17:41] * +Keen propped himself up on the wall and just panted for a little while. Every breath seemed to cause a slosh of pain in his head. "Twerp. Are you in pain? Can you hear me?"
[17:41] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Wraith` still can't hear anything
[17:42] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp staggers, trying to stand. There's also a green splotch on his muzzle; "The noise. So much hurt. Deep inside."
15[17:42] * +Karina curses her lack of ability to speak, but goes around him and gently nudges him towards the stairs.
15[17:43] <+Karina> around Wraith*
[17:44] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The stairs are are the far end of the hallway, past three more classrooms
07[17:45] * @Wraith` gets nudged and blinks. Trying to make sense of it, he gets nudged again as he looks towards the stairs. Seeing Keen going off in a seperate direction, the ghoul growls and shakes his head. Damn it... Turning back to the source of the nudging he says, "Let me get those two, wait for us." Turning to Lily he says, "Fire_Lily, stay here." rushing as quick as he can, he goes
07[17:45] * @Wraith` for the pegasus saying, "Keen, we need to go up these stairs."
04[17:46] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Karina would also be able to tell that the clinic Keen was heading for is in the opposite direction, near the dormitory building
07[17:46] * +Fire_Lily is in the field, so probably can't hear that.
07[17:47] * +Keen examines Twerp between poundings of his head. Welp, what help the sonic screwdriver did... "What? There's something in that room that is... I don't know, it's wrong and it hurts my ears! Do you not hear that?"
[17:48] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp twitches and shudders, looking worse than he did before getting being exposed to the noise.
07[17:50] * +Fire_Lily frowns. She really hopes Twerp will be alright...
04[17:52] * @Wraith` goes over to the pegasus stallion and speaks, "Whatever that noise is, could be part of something, like from the stable. Karina is pointing us to direction, we should go there since you and Twerp look like you're about to keel over in here. Go to the staircase, follow now."
07[17:53] * +Keen looks at Twerp and gives him a gentle smack on the muzzle. "Don't you dare die on me, not right now, damnit. Don't you dare die on me." What's wrong, what's wrong? He examines Twerp's ears and tries to figure out what that... Stuff was. "The clinic is over there! Why are you guys going up the staircase?"
[17:54] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp responds by coughing up green, bloody phlegm. Keen can tell that the green ichor is the changelings blood. Or the closest comparisson by equine anatomy.
04[17:54] * @Wraith` frowns and says, "The noise is hurting him, Karina found something with the staircase, she's our eyes remember? We can't split up, go to the staircase and we might be able to shut down that noise."
[17:54] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp looks to Keen; "I will try to comply."
15[17:54] * +Karina rolls her eyes and moves towards the staircase, trying to see if any of the EFS contacts were near it.
07[17:55] * +Primer keeps a wary rear guard.
04[17:55] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 As Karina moves towards the staircase, she passes the first classroom in that hall, and is hit by the skull splitting headache as soon as she passes the door.
07[17:56] * +Keen lifts his hooves. "If I don't get this pony medical attention, he's going to die. And I'm not- I'm not going to make more ponies die. No. You- You don't hear it. Find out what's making that sound and break it!"
07[17:57] * +Fire_Lily makes sure to keep Twerp as close to the center of the sound-dampening field as possible as she moves it along with them. He definitely needs the relief.
15[17:57] * +Karina yelps completely ineffectively and scrambles backwards away from the magical headache field.
04[17:58] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Karina's ears are ringing, but she's otherwise unharmed when she scrambles out of the field of noise
04[17:58] * @Wraith` growls and replies frustratedly to the pegasus, "For all you know that noise is killing him. I'll work on shutting that shit off, you're gonna need to do your best to keep him alive, but probably away from whatever the noise is." Turning, the ghoul makes his way to the staircase, having no clue where Karina is and is liable to bump into her... or plow, either way, as he's
07[17:58] * @Wraith` huge and somewhat in a hurry.
07[18:01] * +Keen blinks. "What?"
07[18:01] * +Keen blinks. Oh, shit, he's gone deaf!
07[18:02] * +Primer walks into the field, pokes Keen and Wraith, points at her ears, then at Lily's horn.
07[18:02] * +Fire_Lily 's horn is glowing, and she's standing near Keen and Twerp. Keen can probably guess what's going on.
07[18:03] * +Keen blinks. Oooh. Clever girl. He made a motion out towards the stairs. Might as well, there might be a turret in the damn clinic.
07[18:03] * @Wraith` blinks and looks at Fire_Lily, then facehoofs.
15[18:04] * +Karina scrambles back until she's in the dampening field, then stops and follows.
07[18:05] * +Fire_Lily is a little busy looking at Twerp to notice everypony else's confusion.
07[18:05] * +Primer pokes Lily and then urges her to move on.
13[18:06] * Dullahan (Zepheniah@Pony-i24adg.pool.mediaWays.net) Quit (Connection closed)
07[18:08] * +Fire_Lily blinks and looks to Primer before she nods, keeping the field around Twerp as she moves.
07[18:08] * @Wraith` steps out of the sound dampening spell, or at least attempts to. Once he does, he speaks, "If you can hear me, nod."
07[18:10] * @Wraith` sees he gets no response and follows Fire_Lily.
07[18:10] * +Fire_Lily is following wherever Keen is going.
07[18:11] * +Keen nods, then heads up top, trying to explain. He made a cross with his hooves, then points to Twerp.
07[18:15] * +Keen then motions to Lily to follow him. Gotta get to the clinic. Gotta get to the clinic.
[18:17] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 As Keen passes by the first classroom again, the field of Lily's silence is noticably effective. The headache inducing, skull splitting shrill is reduced to a dull buzz. It's still annoying, but not lethal.
06[18:18] * SpencerDespenser|GM (coolsmile@Pony-3uu.iok.106.149.IP) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[18:19] * +Primer flicks her ears at the buzz, but continues.
07[18:19] * +Keen smirks. Thank you, Lily.
[18:19] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp is still convulsing. He groans and slips unsonscious again.
07[18:20] * +Fire_Lily was just very worried about Twerp. She wants to try her best to help him.
[18:25] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The headache of the noise dulled somewhat, Primer's keen cybernetically enganced ears can pick up the sound better. Her gaze is drawn to the clinic at the far end of the hall, marked by a red cross with Hearts around it. Above the exterior door is a speaker.
07[18:27] * +Primer narrows her eyes and aims her battle saddle. It was a long shot... but maybe... She fired a single well aimed shot.
[18:27] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp twitches and groans. Even in the dampened field, his ears are bleeding again. As is his nose.
[18:29] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The shot punches through the speaker, which sparks, whines, and dies out. The buzzing sound lessens in the hallway, although the classrooms still seem to be pretty abuzz.
07[18:30] * +Primer 's brain begins clicking away, coming to a conclution.
07[18:30] * @Wraith` blinks at Primer and taps her on the shoulder with a questioning look.
07[18:30] * +Keen keeps on heading to the clinic. Shit, he's losing him!
[18:30] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 A turret drops down from the ceiling and fires a couple of shots at Primer.
07[18:31] * +Primer blinks. Fffffffffff
07[18:34] * @Wraith` ducks at the shots from the turret and takes out one of his throwing spears... he wasn't sure if it's work, but he was still incredibly strong... With as much force as the ghoul could, he hurls the spear at the turret.
07[18:36] * +Primer makes tiny outching sounds that cant be heard as the two bullets hit her. Wait... hang on... why are all those numberp popping up on her EFS?
[18:37] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Wraith`s spear manages to hit something important, and the turret explodes, leaving a scorch mark on the ceiling.
07[18:39] * @Wraith` blinks and grins. Fucking thing. Getting up he motions for Fire_Lily to stay put and cautiously advances towards his spear to recover it., sneaking along the way.
[18:39] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 There is no further response from any kind of security system
07[18:40] * +Keen heads on inside the clinic and looks around.
07[18:41] * +Fire_Lily stays with Keen and Twerp. She has to help.
[18:42] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Keen can see the body of a medical pony. Or what's left of it. A medical coat fused to a skeleton still standing. A unicorn but the horn on the skull. There are a number of foal sized patient beds, one of which has a skeleton fused to it, and two beds meant for adult patients. There's also a sanitation sink, various pieces of medical equipment, and three medical boxes.
[18:42] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Once inside the clinic, Twerp seems to stop twitching.
[18:42] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 *by
07[18:43] * +Keen takes this as a /very/ bad sign. He races into the clinic and sets the changeling down on the adult-sized bed, and then begins to get ready to operate. They can loot the place, he's got work to do. Now. Nownownow.
07[18:45] * +Fire_Lily is very worried. To get Keen's attention, she casts another spell, spelling out the words 'Can I help?' in the air in front of him.
07[18:46] * @Wraith` even manages to retrieve his spear, as he goes back to the group.
07[18:46] * +Keen points at the unconscious Changeling. He looks stressed.
[18:46] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 As Keen strips away the Mare-do-well outfit, he finds that Twerp has drying blood around his ears, eyes and nose, as well as the back of his throat. The carapace is cracked in several places where he was struck by the magical energy blasts, fresh green ichor leaking out.
[18:47] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Keen can detect signs of severe hemorhaging, organ ruptures, and an increased brittleness of the exoskeleton
07[18:49] * @Wraith` looks around for pieces of paper and pencils and/or pens to write with.
[18:49] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 There are various clipboards with medical information on them as well as pencils
[18:49] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 There's also a water fountain near the sanitation sink
07[18:50] * @Wraith` picks up a clipboard and pencil, writing on the paper, 'Why did you shoot that speaker for?' then trots over to Primer, tapping the lovely cybermare's shoulder to show her what he wrote.
06[18:50] * SpencerDespenser|GM (coolsmile@Pony-3uu.iok.106.149.IP) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[18:51] * +Primer takes a look at the note, then adds; 'I think the speakers are hurting us.'
07[18:51] * +Keen runs his hooves through his mane, then attempts to clean his hooves at the sanitation sink and, if that works out and the water isn't horrifying, put on a pair of latex socks. He nods to his hooves while looking at Lily. C'mon, take the hint. You're a smart filly, sanitation is key here.
[18:52] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The water is free of pink, and shows no other signs of contamination
15[18:52] * +Karina looks over their shoulders at the notes, then up at the speaker in the room.
04[18:52] * @Wraith` gains a look of clairvoyance, his milky eyes going wide for a moment, then nods. Writing down now, 'Alright, we should warn the others. I can't hear this noise that seems to be hurting you, seems like once again I'll be having to be your eyes instead of Karina.'
07[18:52] * +Keen washes his hooves and gets prepped for surgery.
[18:53] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The clinic speak was above the exterior door, presumably to keep announcements from bothering patients
[18:54] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 *speaker
15[18:55] * +Karina goes and grabs another pencil, then adds on the sheet, 'Get the speakers back to the front office, maybe shut down whole system there.'
07[18:55] * +Fire_Lily nods and follows Keen's lead, washing her own hooves as well.
07[18:56] * +Primer reads the exeedingly long note and adds below: Seems like our earplugs are busy here, think you can manage by yourself?
04[18:57] * @Wraith` nods to Karina and picks up a seperate clipboard and pencil, writing on the paper on there, 'I probably can, though I don't like the idea of splitting up in here, but it seems we don't have much choice. Fire_Lily can't hold her spell up forever.
[18:57] <@Wraith`> '
04[18:57] * @Wraith` presents this message to Primer, then to Karina.
15[18:58] * +Karina gets this hint and grabs her own clipboard as well, adding then laying in on the ground so it could be seen, 'Not much choice, and won't be far.'
04[18:59] * @Wraith` pulls out his dragonclaw spear and nods to the two, then proceeds to go to where Karina had directed, to the front office, searching for any other speakers along the way.
[19:00] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Keen tries desperately to save Twerp. The changelings physiology and the severity of the injuries hinder him greatly, but with Lily's assistance, Keen's determination, and the tools of the clinic, and a little luck, he manages to undo the worst of the damage.
04[19:01] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Wraith` has no way of knowing where the speakers are, unless Karina told him specifically that it came from the classroom doors.
15[19:02] * +Karina figured Wraith would, you know, go around and look for speakers on the way back.
[19:02] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 UNless Wraith` actually enters the classrooms, he won't be able to find the speakers
07[19:05] * +Fire_Lily gives a sigh of relief when Keen manages to help Twerp. She's very glad Twerp will be okay!
07[19:05] * +Keen finished up the last suture, then slumped back and panted soundlessly, head covered in sweat, forelegs covered in neon-green blood. It was over. He did it. Take that, death. You aren't taking this one. Not now.
[19:06] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp is unconscious and breathing a bit raggedly, though that would be more from the surgery at this point
[19:07] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Wraith` makes it back to the front office unharmed. He again spies the terminal and the secretary fused to her chair. Close to the terminal on the desk is a microphone for the PA system, and a pair of switches
[19:08] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The switches are labeled 'Mic' and 'PA' respectively, and are both on.
07[19:08] * @Wraith` goes and flips off both.
[19:08] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Not that Wraith` can hear it, but the buzzing noise dies
07[19:09] * @Wraith` doesn't stay for any longer than he needs, as he makes his way back to his companions, sneaking along the way.
07[19:10] * +Fire_Lily 's spell is probably fading by this point.
[19:10] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 Twerp makes a dull trilling noise that might be mistaken for snoring
15[19:10] * +Karina can hear thigns again! And she can't hear the buzzing and ringing! Huzzah! She writes down ont he clipboard 'It worked!' and slides it over for Wraith` to see when he re-enters.
07[19:11] * +Fire_Lily blinks, suddenly worried. She heard that? But... she can't hear the noise. And Twerp seems to be fine. It must be gone, she reasons, somewhat relieved.
07[19:12] * +Keen is on his flank, sprawled out on the floor, back against the wall. With a pair of decisive snaps, he felt a little bit better. Not that saving Twerp saved anyone else, but at least it wasn't one more ghost on his back.
07[19:12] * @Wraith` blinks and reads the note on the clipboard and looks relieved. Looking up at the group, he notices the sound from Twerp. "Well, now that's over with... how's Twerp doing?" the ghoul speaks to Keen.
07[19:13] * +Keen tossed his latex gloves away with a sigh of relief. "He'll... It was touch and go, but he'll recover thanks to Lily." He gave her a look and tried to smile. It didn't work.
[19:17] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 The first leg of horrors for Luna's MAgical Academy seems to be over. The lethally noisy speakers have been shut down, Twerp's condition has been stabilized, and the group is gathered in the clinic, probably one of the safer places around. However, there are still the half-dozen mysterious EFS signals, and who knows what other corruptions waiting for the group.
[19:17] <@TenMihara|GM> 3 *****Session 35 Ends*****
