FoE RPG G0 - #008 House: Key

[19:09]<SpiritOfFate>	Group 0: *Epitaph* - Session #8 starts now
[19:09]<SpiritOfFate>	=============================================
[19:14]<SpiritOfFate>	You are all in the dining hall, and dinner is finally over. Flannel and Hearty take the dirty dishes. The strange clocks in the hall of gizmos tick.
[19:14]<SpiritOfFate>	Not long after the chubby mare goes upstairs a loud crash can be heard.
[19:16]?	Firefly looks up at toward the sound. "Uh...what was that?"
[19:17]?	Royal_Lace looks about for the sourse of the sound, "I...Im not sure, was that from inside the house or out?"
[19:17]?	Wintergreen frowns. "Maybe she just fell over?"
[19:18]?	Firefly giggles at Wintergreen. She tries to hold it in, cause its mean, but she can't!
[19:19]?	Wintergreen smiles and giggles along with Firefly.
[19:21]<SpiritOfFate>	The shrill voice comes from upstairs, echoing through the corridor across the hall. "I need a pony to clean this right now!"
[19:23]?	Royal_Lace looks about the table from one pony to another, "Do you suppose we should..."
[19:24]<Wintergreen>	"She may be thankful if we do..."
[19:26]?	Firefly gets up out of her chair. "Well, it can't be that big, can it?"
[19:26]?	Royal_Lace sighs as she gets gets up from the table, "I suppose Ill go have a look then". Troting from the room she gos out in search of the voice.
[19:27]?	Wintergreen follows out behind Royal_Lace.
[19:28]?	Firefly follows behind Wintergreen, eyes drifting around and the stuff in the house.
[19:31]?	Royal_Lace pokes her head into the corridore the voice seemed to have come from, "Hello?"
[19:31]<SpiritOfFate>	The voice comes from beyond the the hall, upstairs. "I am waiting. What is taking too long?!" Flannel follow you to the stairway. From the ground level, notes from a guitar come from the back of the house.
[19:32]?	Royal_Lace hearing the voice coming from up the steps Royal lace calls up, "Coming Miss". Without waiting Lace trots up the steps at a brisk pace after the voice.
[19:33]?	Wintergreen follows after Royal, quickly trotting.
[19:35]?	Firefly follows behind Wintergreen, occasionally jumping to keep up with the long-legged adults.
[19:40]<SpiritOfFate>	The ponies make their way upstairs, a series of doors visible to them on the upper hallway. Some cleaning materials lie on a corner, close to an open closet door. There seems to be doors to two larger rooms, the bathrooms, and a couple bedrooms at the end of the hall, one closed and one open.
[19:42]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare peeks from the open bedroom.
[19:43]?	Royal_Lace glances around at the second floor landing before moving to the bloated slaver, "Are you alright miss?"
[19:43]?	Wintergreen moves to the open closet door next to the cleaning supplies, looking into to take a quick peek.
[19:46]?	Firefly walks over to the mop, bucket and abronco cleaner. She puts a box on her back between her wings, careful to keep it from spilling, and picks up the handle of the bucket with her mouth. She slowly and carefully walks over to the over-sized mare, looking like an itty-bitty helper for a mop pony.
[19:48]<SpiritOfFate>	The closet is full of cleaning supplies and general repair materials
[19:49]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare looks over to Royal_Lace.  "No, my room is a mess!" Her eyes move to Firefly and she can barely contain a squee. Then she blinks and puffs her cheeks. "Hmpf. Well... just clean it up already!"
[19:50]?	Wintergreen grabs the broom from the closet, soon following after Firefly into the bedroom.
[19:51]?	Royal_Lace blinks, wondering what all the shouting was about if all that was the matter was a untidy room. Noding she steps inside and makes room for Wintergreen and Firefly to follow behind her, "Very well"
[19:51]?	Firefly slowly walks into the pirate Mare's room, looking for the source of the mess...and her hidden treasure!
[19:54]<SpiritOfFate>	The bedroom is as oddly decorated as the hall, full of strange trinkets. A vase and dirt cover the floor before her bed. Royal_Lace can also see a glint on her desk.
[19:55]?	Wintergreen walks forward and starts to sweep the dirt and vase bits into a pile.
[19:56]*	Notify: nomad is online (Canternet).
[19:57]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare trots in along with Flannel, promptly shooing the maid away. "Go help the donkeys, you. There's a lot of hooves here already." To which Flannel leaves.
[19:57]?	Firefly sets the bucket down near the vase and dirt. She puts the box of cleaner near the bucket, and then runs out to get the mop itself. She puts it on her back and then runs back in, waiting for Wintergreen to finish her sweeping before she starts mopping.
[19:59]?	Royal_Lace moves into the room and looks about the room, "This is quite the... collection you have managed to gather, are all these, ermmm... peices hoof picked?"
[19:59]<SpiritOfFate>	Firefly sees a large chest by her bed, and a smaller lockbox under it.
[20:00]?	Wintergreen steps back after sweeping it all into a pile, letting Firefly forward.
[20:01]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick smiles. "Yeah. I get to keep lots of neat sutff they find in the trash."
[20:02]?	Firefly notes the position of the treasure and goes back to cleaning. When she can freely fly, then she can get the Pirate's treasure. She'll crash through the window like in Daring Do #8! But now she has to clean. She puts a bit of the Abronco cleaner in the water, mixing it with the mop, before she starts cleaning the floor.
[20:04]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick eyes Firefly, her face shifting back and forth between amusement and annoyance, before looking back at the other two mares.
[20:05]?	Royal_Lace eyes wonder around the room, taking a glance at the glint she had seen desk she had noticed the glint at earlier when she walked in. "Well I dont protest to know much of art, being a mere servant, but im sure you have quite an eye for value miss".
[20:05]?	Wintergreen looks around as well, placing the broom on the ground.
[20:07]<SpiritOfFate>	Royal_Lace sees a keyring decorated with a large number of keychains, with 4 keys in it.
[20:08]?	Royal_Lace looks about to see if she can spot a window in the room facing the junk piles
[20:08]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick grins. "I'm glad someone recognizes it. The maid keeps throwing them away. She can't tell them from trash, can you believe it?"
[20:08]?	Firefly cleans the area of the spill and the area around the spill. It isn't a big spill, so she is finished shortly. She leaves the box of bronco
[20:09]<SpiritOfFate>	There is a window, leading to the external side of the wall.
[20:09]<Firefly>	Abronco on the ground while she carefully takes the dirty mop and mop water to the bathroom to empty it.
[20:13]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick watches the filly going away. "Close the door." She tells the mares. "Because, uh, it's getting cold."
[20:14]?	Royal_Lace smiles, nodding as an idea hit her. "Oh, yes, such a silly mistake...", moving to one of the scrap peices of junk the pretends to look it over, "I mean, who could not see the value in this? Such intreresting curves, the lines provoking, a real coversation starter!". Glancing to the window she trots over to it and gazes out. "And you say that this was found in the junk piles? Thats rather unbeliveable... which one was this found in?"
[20:14]?	Wintergreen nods slowly and turns to close the door. "...Sure."
[20:17]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick seems to almost shine in pride. "You have a good eye, for a slave. The ponies around here, they just don't get me. They don't get anything."
[20:17]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick follows her to the window.
[20:17]?	Firefly walks over to the tub and looked at the high lip. It was made for grown-up ponies, and she couldn't see a foot stool or a way for her to climb up and dump the water. The bathroom had a door though...she set the bucket down and closed the door. She jumped up and locked it before she took off her wing bindings.
[20:19]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick looks through the window, trying to find the right place through the darkness.
[20:20]?	Wintergreen sighs and sits down by the door, waiting to be dismissed.
[20:21]?	Royal_Lace moves to the side and steps back to allow the much larger pony to come closer to the window. "Please do tell me in as much detail where the best piles are so I can keep an eye out for any gems I find for you, not that I think I have nearly as keen of an eye for detail as you". Steping back and away from the large pony she waits for her to be sufficiantly distracted.
[20:23]?	Royal_Lace looks over to Wintergreen, winking to the other mare, "Dear would you come listen as well, we could learn alot from the mistress I think about good taste. Maybe you could take my spot by her side". Lace winks furiously at the last comment, hopeing she will pick up the hint.
[20:24]?	Wintergreen nods and rolls her eyes, moving to the side of Royal_Lace. "Why, of course..." She motions for Royal to move.
[20:24]?	Firefly slips her wing bindings off, straightening her wings with a popping sound. The sounds are getting quieter as she gets to stretcher her wings more often, but the joints still pop. She takes flight, lifting bucket and mop into the tub.
[20:25]?	Royal_Lace steps back to allow Wintergreen to take her spot near the large slave owner. Moving back she nudges closer to the desk, and waits till she is sure the slaver is completely distracted before attempting to swipe the keys
[20:26]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick taps her chin. "Well, it was full of garbage, like boxes and bags and other garbage, but I saw something shiny there."
[20:28]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick seems to be absorbed in her recollection. "It was near the Infirmary too..."
[20:28]?	Wintergreen nods. "Oh, I bet you have quite the -knack- for finding such items." Wintergreen smiles.
[20:28]?	Royal_Lace take her chance
[20:29]<SpiritOfFate>	You all hear a loud whistle sounding outside.
[20:30]?	Firefly sets the mop in the tub and dumps the water out, all the while hovering in the air. She squeezes all the water out of the mop, wringing it dry with her hooves. She hovers low over the surface of the tub, taking her time to be sure the mop is good and dry.
[20:34]?	Firefly finishes cleaning the bucket and mop and sets them out of the tub. She slips her wing bindings back on...and uses the bathroom before she puts the mop and bucket back in its place.
[20:37]?	Royal_Lace quietly slips the keys away while the slaver is busy before rejoining them at the window with her new prize.
[20:40]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick giggles to Wintergreen. "Ya, you could say so."
[20:41]?	Wintergreen beams proudly. Puns are fun.
[20:42]?	Royal_Lace Looks to nicknack, "Was there anything ells you needed assistance with Miss?"
[20:43]?	Firefly flushes the toilet before washing her hooves. She unlocks the door and takes the bucket and mop outside, putting them back where she got them before she went back and knocked on Knick-Knack's door.
[20:48]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare puffs her cheeks. "Yes, yes I..." She looks at the door, hearing the knocks. "Ugh!" She trots over to Firefly, opening the door. "Can't you go play with the donkey or something?"
[20:49]?	Firefly points over to the box of cleaner left in the middle of the floor. "I got to put that away first...unless you don't want me to?"
[20:51]<SpiritOfFate>	"Yeah, yeah. Do that." She says, grumpily.
[20:52]?	Wintergreen frowns and looks to Knick Knack, pointing a hoof to Firefly. "Do you want me to play with her?"
[20:53]?	Firefly trots over grabbing the box of cleaner, and grabs it, putting it on her back between her wings. She smiles up at Wintergreen, and grabs the broom to put away as well.
[20:56]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick shakes her head. "No!" She sits on the floor, rubbing her temples.
[20:57]?	Royal_Lace raises a brow, "Should we fetch miss something to drink or a warm towel for your head?"
[20:58]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick sighs. "That sounds good. Something to drink."
[20:59]?	Firefly has the broom and the cleaner. She trots out of the room, unsure what she should do now, other than put things away.
[21:01]?	Royal_Lace nods, "Very well, Ill be right back with something for you". Trotting from the room she moves to the steps and down to the kitchen to retreave something to drink.
[21:04]?	Firefly sets the box of cleaner next to the empty mop bucket and the broom back in the closet, and then follows the pretty pony in the dirty dress. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
[21:06]?	Wintergreen looks to Knick Knack. "Do you need anything else?"
[21:07]?	Royal_Lace looks around to see if anyone is with them on the steps or where they could be seen
[21:11]<SpiritOfFate>	All the other slaves seem to be on the lower floor, in the kitchen.
[21:12]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick looks over to Wintergreen. "I... I..." She starts huffing and blushing.
[21:12]?	Wintergreen blinks. Oh no. "Yes?"
[21:13]?	Royal_Lace looks back to Firefly and nods, "You sure can, I found some keys around the house and I want to see if any fit these collars, let me try them on the lock on yours. It wont be dangerous becouse yours is already deactivated"
[21:13]?	Firefly nods up at Royal_Lace. "If it works, we can save all the good ponies!"
[21:14]?	Royal_Lace levatates out the keys and tries them one at a time on Fireflys deactivated collar, smiling she nods, "We sure can!"
[21:15]<SpiritOfFate>	These keys don't even seem to fit. They are door keys. You are on a corridor with a door just across Knick's bedroom and two other closed doors down the hall.
[21:15]?	Firefly looks up at Royal_Lace, with big, excited eyes. "Did it work?"
[21:16]?	Royal_Lace frowns, "no, im sorry... but they may go do some of the rooms up here. why dont you go get the drink for her while I check a few of them out? Ill meet you here on the top of the stairs"
[21:18]?	Firefly nods up at Royal_Lace and assumes conspirator mode, She walks down the stairs, doing her best to sound like a big pony for anyone listening.
[21:21]?	Royal_Lace moves to the nearest door and presses her ears up against it to listen for sounds of anypony on the other side while testing the door to see if its locked
[21:21]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick puffs her cheeks and whines pathetically. She closes her eyes and curls on the ground. "I...leave me alone!"
[21:24]?	Wintergreen quirks her head, "O-kay?" she turns for the door, starting to open it if uninterrupted.
[21:24]<SpiritOfFate>	No sounds come from the door across Knick's.
[21:27]?	Royal_Lace uese the keys if nessesary to crack open the door and look inside
[21:27]?	Firefly makes her way to the kitchen, looking for a big pony or donkey she can ask to make a drink for the Pirate Mare.
[21:29]<SpiritOfFate>	There is a stout, older donkey jenny washing dishes in the kitchen.
[21:30]?	Firefly looks up at the older jenny. "Hi! Uh...can you help me bring the Pirate Mare her drink?"
[21:33]<SpiritOfFate>	"Oh hi dear... pirate mare? Who are you talking about?" She looks back at the disheveled slave filly, frowning a bit.
[21:34]?	Firefly points upstairs toward Knick Knack's room. "The big mare upstairs. She brought us over for dinner. It was tasty!"
[21:34]?	Royal_Lace strains her eyes to see what is inside the other room...
[21:35]<SpiritOfFate>	There is a bed, a cabinet, a drawer and a desk inside.
[21:37]<SpiritOfFate>	Wintergreen opens the door. All that can be heard is the sobbing of Knick. Royal_Lace is across the hallway.
[21:37]?	Wintergreen heads out of Knick's room, closing the door behind her. She sits outside the door, ready to distract Knack if Royal_Lace was still being a sneaky-pone.
[21:38]<SpiritOfFate>	"Oh." She chuckles and pats Firefly's mane. "I'm glad you liked the food." She gets Firefly a glass of water.
[21:39]?	Royal_Lace looks around the room for a moment before looking back at the sobbing mare, frowning she takes one last look around the room to see if she can spot anything of value quickly.
[21:39]?	Firefly accepts the water and looks up at the jenny. "Thank you!" She takes a drink and looks at the jenny. "I'm Firefly. Who are you?"
[21:44]<SpiritOfFate>	"I am Boiling Carrot" She says with a smile. "I made the food you ate today."
[21:45]<SpiritOfFate>	k3Royal_Lace sees a faint glow coming from the crack of the desk drawer.
[21:48]?	Royal_Lace bites her lip as she mills things over, closing the door she trots over to Wintergreen and whispers to her, "Theres something in the dresser in that room... why dont you check it out while I talk to the mistress, she sounds really upset. Oh, and Firefly is downstairs in the kitchen getting a drink"
[21:49]?	Wintergreen nods. "Right, sure." She walks to the room Royal was just in, opening the aforementioned dresser.
[21:50]?	Firefly grins up at Boiling Carrot. "It was really nummy. I've never had stew before." She thinks for a moment. She came down here for something...something...oh! The filly's eyes light up as she remembers what she was supposed to get. "I need to get a drink for the Pirate Mare, or the pretty mare in the dirty dress will get in trouble!"
[21:50]?	Royal_Lace watches Wintergreen go before stepping into the room, nocking softly as she enters, "Miss? Your water is on the way... are you alright?"
[21:52]<SpiritOfFate>	The drawer has a black key with a strange cylindric tip and a small bag of caps
[21:53]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare is curled into a ball in a corner of the bedroom. "No." She whines.
[21:54]?	Royal_Lace steps closer and slowly places a hoof on the bloated slavers back, "Miss, whatevers the matter?"
[21:56]?	Wintergreen smiles, taking the key and caps.
[21:56]?	Wintergreen checks if the key can unlock her collar.
[21:57]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick just curls up more. "It's nothing! Leave me alone."
[21:58]?	Royal_Lace eyes water up a bit, even if this was a slaver she was still a pony and she couldnt stand seeing anypony this upset. "Miss Nack that is just not true, it must be something aweful to make you this upset"
[21:59]?	Firefly looks down at the half-drank glass of water for a moment...and then realizes maybe she was supposed to bring that to the Pirate Mare. "Oops."
[22:00]<SpiritOfFate>	Wintergreen's collar opens with a soft click. A feeling of lightness surges within her as well
[22:00]<SpiritOfFate>	Boiling Carrot looks at Firefly and chuckles
[22:01]<SpiritOfFate>	She offers to fil the glass again
[22:01]?	Wintergreen grins.
[22:01]?	Firefly gives her back the glass, and blushes slightly. "Sorry..."
[22:02]?	Wintergreen tries to tie the key in her tail, if it is small enough to conceal.
[22:04]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick looks at Royal_Lace. "I wanted to... to..." She blushes heavily, hiding her head in shame.
[22:05]<SpiritOfFate>	Carrot fills the glass again and gives it back to Firefly. "Here, dear."
[22:06]?	Royal_Lace pouts at the sight of the pathetic mare and moves to the door, closing it before troting back and sitting with her. "There, now its just the two of us.... tell me whats the matter, no one ells has to know about it"
[22:06]?	Firefly smiles bashfully. "Thank you." She pauses as she tries to figure out how to carry it. It doesn't have a handle...ah! She'll balance it on her back! She's good at that! She takes the glass and balances it between her bound wings.
[22:07]?	Wintergreen finishes tying the key and trots over to Knick's room, knocking on the door.
[22:09]<SpiritOfFate>	Wintergreen manages to hide the key.
[22:10]?	Firefly carefully walks out of the kitchen, keeping her balance as she walks up the stairs. She slowly makes her way to the Pirate Mare's room, glass of water balanced on her back.
[22:11]?	Wintergreen chuckles at seeing Firefly. So cute!
[22:14]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick looks at Royal_Lace. "I just wanted somepony to..." She blushes and says something inintelligible
[22:15]?	Royal_Lace leans forward, rubbing her back and offering a small smile. "Go ahead, you can tell me whatever it is. You wanted somepony to...what?"
[22:16]?	Wintergreen knocks on the door again. "Knick knack, your water is here."
[22:20]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick becomes a ball of red. "To... you know... don't you? Or don't slaves do that?" She looks away.
[22:22]?	Royal_Lace looks a bit confused, "Slave, like other ponies, do many things... Im not sure I understand what it is you were looking for..."
[22:23]<SpiritOfFate>	=============================================
