[12:59] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 *****PnP Group 7 Session 12 Starts*****
04[13:02] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 When we last left the group, the atmosphere was heavy. The group had killed the insane, ghoulified former captain of the Wonderbolts, and nearly lost one of their own in the process. Keen worked through the night atttempting to save her life while the others rested. Cookie expressed regrets about his decision to leave Hovelhoof while Karina searches for answers. Fire lily pines for her surrogate big sister, while Desert St
15[13:03] <+Karina> (while Desert Storm)
04[13:04] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Fire Lily Pines for her Surrogate big sister while Desert Storm dreads the potential loss of a comrade. How will the morning find them? Let's find out...
07[13:05] * +SmartCookie is awake for a while and relatively silently leaves the officers quarters heading for the bridge. Maybe there was something to gather from the working terminals.
15[13:05] * +Karina is still pacing throughout the ship. The same way she'd spent the entire night.
07[13:07] * +Keen has a grave look on his face. His muzzle grew lean and thin. That should do it. She's alive. Sort of. Keen trots out of the room, hooves stained with the blood of his comrade. He... Didn't want the others to see this, though. A selfish desire, but... He couldn't take anyone else making him feel guilty. He could barely take it when it happened the first
07[13:07] * +Keen time
[13:08] <+SmartCookie> any working consoles?
06[13:08] * Scorch_Mechanic[A] ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[13:08] * Scorch_Mechanic[A] is now known as Scorch_Mechanic
06[13:08] * Xavi_Sleeping is now known as Xavi
07[13:09] * +Fire_Lily is having a nightmare, still asleep for now, but probably not for long.
07[13:09] * +Desert_Storm has locked herself on the flight deck. She's been in there since she woke up a few hours ago. Making sure Lily was safe, she decided now was the time for a little... practice.
07[13:10] * +SmartCookie realizes that he had tough luck on that one... Oh well, at least he could take the box, which he promptly does.
07[13:10] * +Keen had covered his patient in a sheet. She was alright. At least, she was functioning. Somewhat.
04[13:12] * +SmartCookie returns to the quarters and checks on Karina. She had been sleeping apparently when he left the room.
15[13:13] * +Karina hadn't slept at all. She's still continuing her completely random pacing.
[13:14] <+SmartCookie> [redact]
04[13:15] * +SmartCookie walks back into the room, checking on Karina. Luckly he had been tired and managed to sleep with her beind awake. As so he asks: "Hey Karina. Do you feel okay?"
15[13:16] * +Karina nods, not stopping. "Worried about Primer. Also don't want to be -here-. I keep feeling like ghouls are just going to randomly appear."
07[13:17] * +SmartCookie gives a nod and says: "If you want i can stick around. Two are a harder target than one single equine."
15[13:20] * +Karina nods again. "Yeah, sure."
13[13:20] * Ashen_Ward ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
07[13:20] * +Keen is shuddering violently as he starts trotting towards where Spitfire once was. Spitfire. Every pegasus' hero in his time. And this is where she ended up. She deserved a better fate than that. But the most he could manage was a burial.
07[13:21] * +SmartCookie looks into the hall and then says: "Wanna check on the others?"
15[13:21] * +Karina shrugs. "Probably a good idea."
07[13:22] * +SmartCookie steps back into the hall and towards the junction.
07[13:23] * +Keen passes by the two. Keen looked like hell frozen over. Shuddering in horror. Sputtering random whimpers. Not a good way to see a pony.
07[13:25] * +SmartCookie  looks after Keen and gives a huff. Things seemed not to look to well.
06[13:26] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
15[13:27] * +Karina watches Keen. "What's wrong?"
07[13:27] * +Fire_Lily jerks awake, and looks around, momentarily confused from her nightmare. Once she is sufficiently convinced that reality is only slightly less horrifying than her nightmare, she sits up. She's a little confused, remembering being outside before she fell asleep. And didn't she fall asleep with Storm? She wants to get up and look around, but she can't bring herself to do more than sit there, alone.
07[13:32] * +Keen vacantly passes by them in a tired daze. "... Neuro-sympathine injected into the trachea. Vertebrae relaxant and..." He continues to pass by them with just a lost expression on his face. Trying to keep his mind busy, but all he could think of were live corpses and dead ones.
15[13:33] * +Karina blinks and turns to follow Keen.
04[13:34] * +SmartCookie huffs some more but decides to stick to Karina and follows.
07[13:40] * +Fire_Lily rests her head on her forelegs, trying her best not to worry. She is only barely keeping herself together.
07[13:42] * +SmartCookie ask with a small voice: "Did you get her stabilized?"
07[13:43] * +Keen makes it to Spitfire and just... Sits there above her. His back legs just seemed to lose all of their strength. "... Yes." He says in a very low and almost silent tone.
07[13:46] * +SmartCookie stits down and gives a nod. This could be all the way to fucking awefull to 'yay primer is back on her feet'.
07[13:47] * +Desert_Storm finishes her routine just before Keen comes in. She floats down to him, stretching her hooves and cracking her neck. Satisfied with the mess she had made of the room, she joins Keen in looking over Spitfire's corpse. She puts a hoof on his shoulder.
15[13:47] * +Karina "She going to be okay?"
07[13:47] * +Fire_Lily is afraid. She wants to go looking for Keen... to ask about Primer, but she doesn't want him to tell her anything bad.
07[13:49] * +Keen just shakes his head. "...Not dead." He mumbles simply.
07[13:50] * +Desert_Storm retracts her hoof. "I'll be back." she trots off to where she left Lily. Hope she's alright.
15[13:51] * +Karina "Can she talk? How about walk?"
13[13:52] * +Desert_Storm ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
06[13:53] * Desert_Storm ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[13:53] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v Desert_Storm
07[13:53] * +Keen hung his head and attempted to begin unbuckling the ghoul's power armor. "... Not right now."
15[13:57] * +Karina "Later then?"
15[13:57] * +Karina "Some time soon?"
07[13:58] * +SmartCookie asks after a while: "Can we transport her?"
07[13:59] * +Desert_Storm pokes around the crew quarters. Sure enough, Lily hadn't moved since last night. She trots next to her. "Hey."
07[14:00] * +Fire_Lily is quiet for a long moment, and doesn't look up. after a minute or so, she manages to squeak out a quiet "Hi"
07[14:02] * +Desert_Storm sits down next to her and hangs her head. After a while, she finally asks "Keen's out with the others. Would you like to talk to him?"
07[14:04] * +Keen sighed. "... I don't know. She seems stable enough, but..." He unfastened another bit of power armor. "She's stable enough to move. Just... Don't look behind the sheet." He's still shuddering rather violently.
07[14:05] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "You think we should make a bear or something?"
07[14:05] * +Fire_Lily looks up at Storm, fear plainly visible on her face. After a moment, she gives a hesitant shake of her head, and looks away.
15[14:07] * +Karina remains silent.
07[14:08] * +Desert_Storm sort of expected that. "That's fine. Just know that... she's okay."
[14:08] <+SmartCookie> wear*
07[14:09] * +Keen fastens the last of the power armor, then removes and lays down his coat. His wings were clamped tight against his side, twitching with disuse as he lay the corpse on the thing and he began to shuffle this mare weakly to the outside.
07[14:10] * +Fire_Lily is... relieved, but at the same time... not. She won't be okay until it's Primer saying those words, not somepony else. "Will you... stay here?"
15[14:11] * +Karina sighs and shakes her head, but decides to help Keen.
07[14:11] * +Desert_Storm nods, the warmest smile she could muster on her lips. "Of course."
07[14:13] * +Fire_Lily doesn't smile, but is still grateful. "Thank you..."
13[14:26] * Xavi ([email protected]) Quit (Client exited)
07[14:27] * +Keen eventually gets the corpse outside and stops at a nice ditch. "... I think we can start burying her here." He says with a dead tone. He looks around for some sticks to use as a headstone. Not what the hero deserved, but this whole wasteland wasn't what anypony deserved.
15[14:28] * +Karina shrugs and starts putting her down into the ditch. At least she was out of the ship.
07[14:29] * +SmartCookie has followed both of them and asks: "Want to dig a hole?"
07[14:32] * +Keen makes a rough headstone, pounding on a pair of roughly fastened, charred 2x4's and hanging the dogtags over them. "Please do." He says, eyes puffy as if they should be crying, but had long since ran out of tears. He drank a good amount of water, feeling the radioactive water cool his burning gut.
07[14:33] * +SmartCookie starts to dig with his hooves.
07[14:36] * +Desert_Storm runs a hoof through Lily's mane. "How are you feeling Lily?"
15[14:37] * +Karina is a zebra and she's digging a hole. Diggy diggy hole. Digging a hole.
07[14:37] * +Keen then placed a pair of bit coins over where her eyelids should be, taking care with the one who had been blown out. After being satisfied with the depth of the hole, he solemnly rolled her into her grave. With some hestitation, he bowed his head. "... Ch-child of Dust, to mother now return. For every seed must die before it... grows. And... Th-though the
[14:39] <+Keen> world above m-may toil and turn, no prying spade will find you here be-be... below." He was having a lot of trouble trying to say even that.
07[14:39] * +SmartCookie starts to close the hole with the dirt he just dug up, after keen is done. He didn't have pity with a foe. It's the way of the hoof, UAGH!
07[14:40] * +Fire_Lily leans her head against Desert_Storm's side, eyes closed. "I... I don't know..."
15[14:40] * +Karina joins in filling it back in.
07[14:42] * +SmartCookie after moving the dirt back to its initaly place he asks: "So how do we get back. Do we need a wear or not."
07[14:44] * +Keen hung his head and watched as the hole filled up slowly, obscuring the tortured pony bit by bit. "You can rest now, Spitfire. W-we'll just have t-to take it from here." He didn't even want his coat back. It could stay with her.
07[14:46] * +SmartCookie looks back at keen and asks: "Did you hear me doc?"
07[14:47] * +Desert_Storm expected that too."That's alright..."
[14:49] <+SmartCookie> gruney*
[14:49] <+SmartCookie> (or stuffs)
07[14:51] * +Keen is silent for a little while. Eventually, after having a moment of deep thought, he responded. "We can probably find something in the sick bay. Or we can find a cart. One or the other."
07[14:51] * +SmartCookie nods and heads back in heading for the sickbay in search for a gruney.
15[14:54] * +Karina follows Cookie. Whatever they could do to get out of here the quicker, the better.
07[14:56] * +SmartCookie looks around the sickbay, only briefly taking a glance at the heartbeat monitor that is hooked up to the a pony's shape under a cover. Probably Primer. So on with the search for a gruney.
06[14:57] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
07[15:00] * +Fire_Lily remains quiet, taking comfort from Desert_Storm's presence
07[15:02] * +Desert_Storm pulls Fire_Lily a little closer. "If you don't want to talk, then you don't have to. But... we need to get out of here eventually."
15[15:03] * +Karina steps over to a gurney when she finally sees one. "Hey Cookie."
04[15:06] * +SmartCookie looks over and nods, troting over and helping Karina to carry it to primer. "Would you mind fetching Keen, so that we can put her on it? Don't want to do something that might hurt her.", he then asks.
15[15:07] * +Karina nods then walks back outside to get Keen. "Found a gurney."
04[15:10] * +Keen is currently sitting gloomily over Spitfire's grave. "... You know, she was a hero once. She was the pegasus everypony wanted to grow up to be. Smart. Strong. Speedy. And we run into her like this." He looks up at Kar with puffy eyes. "Sorry. I'll get her loaded on. It's just that... Well. If she were alive instead of me, then... I don't know."
07[15:10] * +Fire_Lily nods. "I'm... glad you're here..."
15[15:11] * +Karina blinks. "I know. I'd be dead."
07[15:11] * +Desert_Storm stands up and ruffles her feathers a little. "Here, hop on. We need to go find the others." She bends down in front of the bench.
04[15:12] * +SmartCookie waits for the Keen and Karina. What the heck was taking them so long.
07[15:14] * +Keen gives her a dark chuckle. "I can't help but think that you wouldn't need to have gotten hurt in the first place. She... She made you believe... If she were still alive, she could work this whole wasteland out." He slowly made his way back inside, a bit heavier of step. "Stupid, I know. But I wish you could have seen her."
07[15:14] * +Keen "You would believe me then."
07[15:15] * +Fire_Lily shakily stands, and climbs up onto Storm's back, clinging tight
15[15:15] * +Karina follows Keen quietly.
07[15:18] * +Keen arrives at the sickbay looking more like hell than usual, bloodsplatters and dust staining his hooves and cheeks, and unplugs her from the heartbeat monitor and primes her for evac. At least her heart was working.
07[15:19] * +SmartCookie says to Keen: "Tell me how to help."
07[15:21] * +Keen looks at him, rather bleary-eyed and tired, both physically and mentally. "I don't... Sorry. Just take the back yoke. Somepony else take the front. Don't jostle her around too much. She's in a sensitive state right now. The only reason we're moving her is because we don't have much in the way of choice."
07[15:22] * +Keen frowns. We all have choices, Keen. Did you choose the wrong one?
07[15:22] * +SmartCookie nods and does as instructed waiting for another pony to take primers front-end
04[15:23] * +Desert_Storm slowaly walks the halls. She passes Keen and Karina on the way to the Command deck for one last stop. They didn't know it, but she couldn't bring herself to look in their eyes. Finally arriving at Spitfire's armor, she took a piece for herself, with the Wonderbolt's faded lightning bolt on bright blue paint...
[15:23] <+Desert_Storm> … she wouldn’t be needing it anymore.
15[15:25] * +Karina takes up the front of the gurney and goes to follow Keen's lead.
07[15:25] * +Desert_Storm sighs. "Let's... let's get out of here." She makes for the sick bay, not before collecting the fallen pegasi's armor in it's entirety. Somepony might want it.
06[15:30] * Pony_12345 ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[15:32] * +SmartCookie takes the backend of the gurney. "Let's move out.", he says.
07[15:33] * +Desert_Storm arrives with Lily in tow. "Yeah, let's get the hell out of here."
[15:34] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 As the party gingerly moves Primer to a gurney for transport, they leave behind the crash site and head back towards where they left Glass the evening before. As they approach, they can see that his wagon is all packed up, as though he's about to leave.
07[15:35] * +SmartCookie says: "That is strange...", still heading towards the wagon, carrying the gurney.
15[15:36] * +Karina made sure her hood was back up before getting anywhere close back to town and just stays silent, leading Primer into town.
15[15:36] <+Karina> (redactorama)
15[15:37] * +Karina leads the gurney back up towards Glass.
07[15:37] * +Keen still looks like hell warmed over. But even him in this state of mind didn't like how prepared Glass was to leave.
07[15:38] * +Desert_Storm trots a little ahead. "Glass? What's all this?"
[15:39] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass is tying down his cart when he catches Storm's voice. He turns towards her looking shocked; "By the Goddesses, you're alive? I saw you guys go in, but you never came out."
07[15:39] * +SmartCookie slightly raises his eyebrow. This... was suspicious...
07[15:39] * +Desert_Storm grits her teeth. "Well, we're here. What's all this?" she repeats pointing to the ropes.
07[15:40] * +Fire_Lily is silently resting on Storm's back, still. She is listening, but only vaguely.
[15:41] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass tries to look apologetic; "I knew the place was dangerous; that's why I hired you lot to clear it out. Waited for you all night out here. When you didn't come out, I thought you'd gotten yourselves killed. I was about to head back to Scrapton."
07[15:42] * +Keen gives him a tired look. He just wanted the caps and a bed so he could sleep this off as long as he could, even with his current state of dream. "We did the job. One of ours almost died. Pay up." He was entirely too emotionally dead to give half a shit after all of this.
07[15:42] * +SmartCookie says: "Well you see we are not.", as they trot up to the merchant.
[15:42] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass looks to the gurney; "Blimey. What happened in there?!"
07[15:42] * +SmartCookie says: "Combat."
07[15:42] * +Keen blinks slowly. "Too much."
07[15:43] * +Desert_Storm shakes her head. "Caps. Now."
[15:44] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass winces; "Sorry." He pulls out everyone's share of caps. He gives Primer's share to Storm; "She still did her share of the work, even if that did happen. What's her condition?"
07[15:46] * +Keen simply, but with an exhausted tone remarked: "Stable."
07[15:46] * +SmartCookie takes his share and puts it into his inventory.
[15:48] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass shifts his expression; "That doesn't sound too good." He looks around to the others; "Are you fit to travel? If she can be moved, your best bet is to get her to Helpinghoof in Tenpony."
07[15:48] * +SmartCookie only barely manages not to facehoof. Well D'uh!
07[15:49] * +Desert_Storm looks at Lily on her back and gives a faint smile. "We'll do that. I have to ask... what the hell is in there that's worth so much to you?"
[15:50] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass looks to Desert Storm; "Pre-war technology of that magnitude, in that amount, all in one place. It's a potential treasure trove if you know what to look for and who to sell to. My brother and I didn't earn our Tenpony citizenship without good reason."
07[15:51] * +Keen grumbled a bit at it being called Tenpony. "... MAS Hub. It's the MAS Hub."
07[15:51] * +Desert_Storm takes a long glance back at Primer's stretcher. She asjusts her glass before saying "Well, I hope it's worth it."
[15:53] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass looks cross; "I warned you that it was enter at your own risk. You took the job, you finished it, so I'm going to hold up my end. Don't expect me to feel guilty about it; this was your choice."
07[15:55] * +SmartCookie says: "We never tried to make you feel so."
[15:56] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass snorts; "The pegasus was. Now then, lets get moving. If you don't want her to expire, I suggest haste."
15[15:56] * +Karina gets moving.
07[15:56] * +Keen gave a gloomy chuckle. "It was, wasn't it?" See? Even he knows the magnitude of how much you screwed up.
07[15:57] * +Desert_Storm frowns. What did you expect? She trots off, no more words. Just walking. More walking.
07[15:57] * +Keen doesn't say anything. "She's not dying. She's just... In a very sensitive state." You fixed that, didn't you, Keen?
04[15:58] * +SmartCookie starts following the others aswell, along with Karina carrying the gurney.
[15:58] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass climbs onto his cart and ships his Brahmin into motion. He calls back over his shoulder; "I hope you can keep up pulling that thing. Once we get to Tenpony, I'll get you in, but then I have to get a salvage team together for that ship."
13[16:01] * +Desert_Storm ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: See you !)
06[16:02] * Desert_Storm ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[16:02] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v Desert_Storm
07[16:02] * +Keen doesn't say a thing. He simply shrugged the weight a little and pressed on. "Do we still need those thousand caps to get in?" His wings fidgeted a little.
[16:03] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass shakes his head; "They skip the credit check if you've got the recommendation of a citizen, but you'll still need to pay for a hotel room or to shop. You'll also have to turn in your weapons at the door."
07[16:05] * +Desert_Storm isn't very plussed of the idea of leaving her rifle with some snooty pony secuirty guard, but is relieved all the same.
07[16:06] * +Keen closes his eyes. "That's okay. I don't plan on staying long." He was quite honest about that. He wasn't there to live there, he was there to find her old room.
15[16:16] * +Karina clears her throat then motions for Keen to come up closer to her so she can whisper. "Hey Keen..."
07[16:16] * +SmartCookie looks over to glass and says: "What about a recommendation from you?"
07[16:17] * +Keen ushers her over. "I can't stop moving her. You're going to have to come to me." He replies. What is it she wants?
[16:18] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass chortles at Cookie; "A recommendation from a citizen can get you in, but that's it. Tenpony is a meritocracy. You wanna stay, you pay or you earn citizenship. Simple as that."
07[16:19] * +SmartCookie asks on: "But you are a citizen right?"
15[16:19] * +Karina gives up trying to figure out exactly where everone was and walks up next to Keen to whisper, "Tenpony's supposed to be really snooty, right? So what are they going to do when a zebra steps into sight?"
[16:20] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass nods; "Yes, I am. Earned my way in with my brother. I thought I explained that already, or did somethign hit you in the head in there?"
04[16:22] * +Keen blinks and shrugs the weight to Karina. He should probably ask. "A lot of things hit us in there." He said in a gravelly tone. "Question. Two, actually. First, have you ever heard of Shimmer Shine in that place?"
07[16:22] * +SmartCookie says: "And I was asking if you'd give us the recommendation as we cleaned out El-Dorado for you. I take it, that said recommendation is not costing you anything, right?
07[16:25] * +Desert_Storm hasn't said anything a while. The silence was starting to get to her. "Lily, how are you holding up?" She asks giving the filly on her back a little nudge.
[16:28] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass glares at Cookie; "I told you that I would hold up my end of the agreement, now stop making me repeat myself." He turns to Keen; "No, I do not know anypony by that name."
07[16:28] * +Fire_Lily jumps in surprise at the nudge. She was a little lost in her own thoughts. "Okay... I guess."
07[16:30] * +Desert_Storm nods. Yeah, that was a lie, but she didn't want to pursue it any further. "Just stay with me, we're probably almost there."
07[16:31] * +Keen sighed. "Second, I don't suppose you know of any zebras that live there? Particularly one that goes by the name of Zehara?" Zehara was just a made up name, the first part's the important bit.
[16:31] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass sighs; "Sorry, I should be snapping at you, you almost lost a friend. Of course you're on edge."
07[16:32] * +SmartCookie doesn't really mind and keeps trotting.
[16:34] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass looks to Keen; "A Zebra? Ain't ever seen one myself, inside of Tenpony or out. Honestly thought they were extinct; wiped out at the end of the war. Then again, we ponies managed to survive."
07[16:35] * +Desert_Storm frowns and slows down a little. "You know... I don't exactly believe you."
15[16:36] * +Karina raises an eyebrow under her hood.
07[16:36] * +Keen gives a low grunt of understanding. "But if Zehara did manage to meet us there, would they let him in if he payed himself off or got himself a recommendation?"
07[16:36] * +Fire_Lily looks up at Storm. "Why?"
07[16:36] * +SmartCookie keeps up his pokerface but is still a little surprised. Hopefully that wouldn't make them any trouble...
07[16:39] * +Desert_Storm keeps walking but turns a little. "You've been so quiet. I know you're worried about her, but... It's worse not to say anything. Trust me. If you care about somepony, you need to talk about it once and a while. But, you don't have to now, and it doesn't have to be with me. But I'd listen."
[16:39] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass looks back to Keen over his cart; "I don't see why not, other than the fact that they're responsible for the destruction of this land. I can think of plenty of folks who would revel at the chance to pin their frustrations on an easy target. You'd best tell your zebra friend to watch himself."
15[16:43] * +Karina growls softly.
07[16:43] * +Fire_Lily frowns a little. "I just... I want her to be okay... and I'm afraid."
07[16:44] * +Keen feels a pang of righteous anger in his chest. "... I'll be sure to let him know that."
07[16:46] * +SmartCookie trots on and thinks... Dye?
07[16:46] * +Desert_Storm smiles. "She'll be okay." She couldn't be less sure of herself. Breathing was one thing, "okay" was another. Her ears perk up at Glass' mention of zebras. Well, she didn't see this going well.
07[16:48] * +Fire_Lily looks over to the gurney for a moment, then back to Storm. "Yeah... but she's not... awake... I still can't know..." her voice trails off into silence.
07[16:51] * +SmartCookie silently starts singing: "Now you all know // The bards and their songs // When hours have gone by // I´ll close my eyes // In a world far away // We may meet again // But now hear my song // About the dawn of the night // Let´s sing the bards' song..." He had sung this to often to miss a single note...
07[16:52] * +Desert_Storm lowers her head, counting the pebbles on the road.
15[16:53] * +Karina clears her throat again. "Keen?"
04[16:54] * +Keen scrolls back to Karina and flicks his face towards hers. "Yes?"
[16:54] <+SmartCookie> "Tomorrow will take us away // Far from home // No one will ever know our names // But the bards' songs will remain // Tomorrow will take it away // The fear of today // It will be gone // Due to our magic songs"
15[16:54] * +Karina goes to shrug the gurney back over to him. "Keep going, I'll catch up."
07[16:55] * +Keen takes the stretcher, and sighs as he bore the weight of his comrade.
15[16:55] * +Karina peels off from the party when they get back to the Manehatten ruins and starts digging around for secret thingies.
04[16:57] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 karina trails behind a bit as Glass leads the party back into the ruins of Manehattan via Scrapton. From there he proceeds to lead them on a path through the ruins that leads to the base of one of the more impressive looking buildings left standing in the city.
07[16:58] * +SmartCookie has stopped his singing by then and is looking up and down the building. The gurney was making his shoulder ache, but as they used to sing: "No One Gets Left Behind." He could go on.
[17:00] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass leads the brahmin and his cart around to the rear of the tower, where a loading bay and a few charred and broken wagons can be seen. The dock is hidden so that you'd only be able to see it once you were right on to of it. All of one of the doors are welded shut.
[17:00] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 *all but one
15[17:03] * +Karina comes trotting back up from behind the group awhile after she left them. All shades of white are gone from her mane, tail, and coat, her entire body now being completely black. She is wearing her police barding and bandoleer, but her cloak is folded up and stored away in one of the barding's pockets.
04[17:04] * +SmartCookie looks over to Karina and gives her an appreciative nod. That would probably help.
04[17:04] * +Desert_Storm blinks at... Karina? "What the hell..."
15[17:05] * +Karina looks at Desert_Storm, a small smirk on her face. "You heard him. I'd rather not cause a riot or lose a limb because some fanatic can't stop himself from acting on a stupid whim."
07[17:05] * +SmartCookie chuckles and says: "She looks quite differently without her cloak does she?"
07[17:07] * +Desert_Storm blinks again. There was... so much wrong with this. Best not make a scene. Play it cool. Don't blow it before we even get a chance to go inside. "I... Don't even..."
[17:07] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass hops down from his cart. Noticing that the other member of the group had rejoined them, the trotted up to the unsealed door and knocked. After a few moments, a pair of heavily armed guards slide the door open part way.
07[17:09] * +Fire_Lily is quite mystified. She'd seen the tower in the distance before, but had never been up close. She can't help but perk up a bit and look around in awe. "It's... bigger than I thought..."
04[17:09] * +Keen nods at Karina approvingly. Right. Time to look important.

06[17:13] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v SmartCookie
04[17:16] * +Desert_Storm , still not entirely over Karina's new look, waits for Glass to lead them in. "No kidding." This place looked nice... enough.
[17:16] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The gaurds look to Glass, apparently recognizing him; "Who's there with you?" Glass replies; "Some employees of mine. I'm giving them leave to stay here temporarily. If there's any issues, I'll take responsibility." The gaurds murmur to each other for a moment, then open the door the rest of the way.
06[17:17] * Mirage ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
04[17:19] * +Keen steps on in, stretcher in tow. Keen grimly figured that between him and Desert, they were possibly the only pegusi that have entered in this building for a long time, and Karina probably the only Zebra who had ever done so.
07[17:20] * +SmartCookie walks over to the merchant as far as the gurey let's him, attempting a thankfull bow and saying: "Thanks for your help."
[17:21] <+SmartCookie> Not before entering of course.
15[17:22] * +Karina follows Keen and Cookie in, looking at Glass as they pass. "Would be remiss to forget to say that it was a pleasure doing business." She smiles as she walks away from him. Oh boy was she feeling frisky right about now.
[17:23] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Glass nods and turns away; "Just stay out of trouble. I'm sorry about what happened to your friend." With that, he whips his Barhmin and takes off. One of the guards steps in front of the gurney; "I'll escort you up to Helpinghoof's clinic. Until then, don't wander off and don't touch anything."
[17:24] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The other guard steps up; "As well, I will require you all to turn over your firearms and battle saddles if you are carrying them. You'll get them back when you leave."
15[17:25] * +Karina carefully slips one of her weapons into a barding pocket before looking up at the guards. "Where?"
07[17:26] * +SmartCookie hands over his weapons, all three of his functional ones that was.
07[17:26] * +Keen has a -very- annoyed look on his face as he tries to do a magic trick in which he keeps the stretcher steady while fetching his armaments. It's not like they hadn't traveled across half the wasteland or anything.
15[17:28] * +Karina pulls her 10mm pistol off her bandoleer and her 10mm SMG and varmint rifle off of her barding and goes to hoof them over.
[17:28] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The guard collects the weapons as they are given to him in a field of levitation. "Can I get a name please so they know who to give these back to when you leave?"
07[17:28] * +SmartCookie says: "I'm Smart-Cookie."
07[17:29] * +Fire_Lily watches the others give their weapons to the guards, since she herself didn't have any.
07[17:29] * +Keen exhaled. "Keen Shine."
15[17:30] * +Karina cocks her head a bit. No zebras... they think she's a pony... nah, still better not do her actual name. "Kar."
[17:30] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The guard nods and jots down the pair of names; "That will do." He then walks away with the party's weapons in tow.
07[17:31] * +SmartCookie looks over to the others and says: "Clinic first everything else afterwards, right?"
15[17:33] * +Karina nods then looks up at the guard who said he was going to lead them to the clinic.
07[17:34] * +SmartCookie looks towards the same pony and waits.
07[17:35] * +Keen frowns, and hopes that the doctor would have some privacy screens for what he did to Primer. "Lead the way." He says meekly.
07[17:35] * +Fire_Lily is not looking at the pony, because she's busy looking around at everything else, still a bit mystified
[17:35] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The guard, upon seeing his companion has properly disarmed you, turns and leads you to a brass cargo elevator big enough to hold the gurney. You ride it up a number of floors before exiting, and the guard points you down the hall to the clinic. "I have to get back to my post. Word of advice to you since you're new, don't draw too much attention to yourselves. Last thing you want is an irate elite pony on your case. I got s
[17:36] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 "I got stuck on sanitation detail for three months once."
07[17:36] * +Keen nods at that story, simply adding: "I don't plan on staying for long."
06[17:37] * Shadow ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[17:37] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "We will stick to your advice." He then looks to the others and says: "Let's get going."
15[17:39] * +Karina doesn't respond and instead just starts heading to the clinic.
13[17:39] * +Desert_Storm ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
07[17:40] * +SmartCookie does so aswell, as the pony carrying the front of the gurney does so aswell.
[17:41] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 A beige coated unicorn stallion steps forward as the clinic door is opened; "Greetings, I'm doctor Help- goodness! What's happened?!"
15[17:42] * +Karina steps in but gets out of the way so Keen and Cookie and bring in Primer. "Lasers."
07[17:42] * +SmartCookie says: "We need to get her in there and fixed up ASAP."
07[17:42] * +Keen puts the stretcher on the table and attempts to pull back a privacy screen. "I would like it if me and the doctor here could have some time alone to speak." He says with a shaky voice.
[17:42] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The stallion nods quickly; "Okay, get the patient over to the table there and I'll take a look. I need to know if she's had any treatment thus far."
07[17:43] * +Keen raises his hoof. "Yes. She has."
07[17:43] * +SmartCookie after getting rid of the gurney he trots outside the clinic and takes a look around.
07[17:43] * +Fire_Lily is brought back to the horrible present by the arrival at the clinic. She looks away.
07[17:44] * +SmartCookie he would definitely rub his shoulders if he could, but... Oh well...
15[17:44] * +Karina "C'mon Keen, don't seend us all away. What if we want to stay?"
[17:44] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof pulls up a privacy screen and motions Keen inside; "since you spoke up, I take it you are some manner of physician or field medic?"
15[17:45] * +Karina snorts after the privacy screen is pulled back. She shakes her head and heads out of the clinic. Yay more pacing! At least the pacing would have new scenery.
[17:45] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Outside the clinic, which seems to take up most of this floor, several other doors can be seen, most of them appearing to be locked. A single guard in a light support weapon battle saddle and light security armour patrols the halls. Compared to anywhere else in the city, particularly Hovelhoof and Scrapton, the interior is positively lavish
04[17:46] * +Keen nods. "Something like that." Keen looks at Karina with a very regretful look in his eyes. "Look. There's a good reason I don't want you to see her like this." Nodding at the doctor, with the privacy screen in place, he pulls back the cover of the sheet.
[17:47] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The Doctor gasps in shock; "By the Goddesses, what in the... What happened. Tell me everything."

06[17:48] * Misnomer is now known as Mirage
06[17:48] * Mirage is now known as Pony_61313
15[17:48] * +Karina nods. "Might as well." She starts looking for stairs or an elevator or a map or... something.
07[17:49] * +SmartCookie follows her.
[17:49] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 There's a pair of brass Elevators at the far end of the south hall. According to the indicator, this is the 12th floor of 35.
06[17:49] * Pony_61313 is now known as Mirage
07[17:49] * +Keen finds a seat in the room and just buries his face in his hooves. "Look... I... Look. I was...." Words weren't coming out easy. "She was about to die. Half of her organs had ruptured, Ninety percent of her flesh was covered in third degree burns... I had to do something."
15[17:50] * +Karina gets into the elevator and looks at the buttons. "Eenie meenie miney mo... to the 20th floor we go!" She presses da button.
[17:50] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The Doctor looks confused more than anything; "I can't say I'm a hundred percent sure what exactly you did here. I've never seen work like this."
07[17:50] * +Fire_Lily decides to remain outside the clinic, rather than wander off.
07[17:51] * +Keen shakes his head and looks at the mare solemnly. "That makes two of us, sir."
[17:52] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The doctor pulls out some instruments and begins hooking Primer up to them; "Synthetic skin grafts, right? And these protrusions on her forelegs... prosthetics?"
07[17:53] * +SmartCookie walks in aswell and chuckles. "Mysterious mysteries for sure-"
[17:53] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The Twentieth floor of Tenpony is home to 'Silverleaf's Luxury Suites'. A big sign opposite the elevator announces as much, hung over an office type room.
07[17:53] * +Keen weakly waves a hoof. "Artificial liver, lungs, pacemaker on the heart..." He wasn't proud of what he did. In fact, he looked like he was going to cry all over again.
[17:54] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof trots over to Keen and places a leg over his shoulder; "You should be proud. This work of yours is amazing; I'm never seen the like. So long as her body doesn't reject the synthetics, she should make a full recovery. Where exactly did you find these synthetics?"
[17:55] <+SmartCookie>  /me looks around. "Well this is was disappointing.", he states seeing the sign.
07[17:55] * +Fire_Lily sits restlessly outside the clinic
06[17:56] * Desert_Storm ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[17:56] * Shadow is now known as Fear_Full
15[17:56] * +Karina looks around. 'Luxury'? Huh... She trots into the floor and over towards what would appear to be a reception counter.
07[17:57] * +Keen glares at Helpinghoof with pink, puffy eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm not proud of forcing a decision like this on somepony. I found some mid-war tech in a crashed Raptor. There was a sickbay. I did what I had to do."
07[17:57] * +SmartCookie trots right behind her.
[17:57] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 A silver manes, green coated Earth pony in a tidied up pre-war suit trots up to the counter; "Greetings. My, you're a couple of new faces." His voice carries a LOT of airs. "A young couple looking to honeymoon in the lap of luxury perhaps?"
07[17:58] * +SmartCookie shakes his head and says: "Not really, but we're looking for a room for us and the rest of our group.", answering the question.
15[17:59] * +Karina chuckles. "No, not quite. But... what makes this place luxurious if we were spending a night?"
[18:00] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvertail dons a greasy smile; "Hot and cold running water, mood lighting, no fear of bugs or bats or other pests getting in, and the decor is something you won't see anywhere else in Equestria."
[18:01] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof tires to look supportive; "I think she will thank you for saving her life. Injuries such as this would never be survivable otherwise."
07[18:02] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "What do you have in stock for 5 to 6 ponies then?"
07[18:02] * +Keen frowns heavily as he points at where Primer's front hooves would be. "I... Had to get creative in order to replicate the Bigs-Bean magnetism effect on her front hooves. I changed so much about her." He frowns deeply. "I don't even know if she'll wake up the same pony."
06[18:02] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v Desert_Storm
07[18:02] * +Desert_Storm decides it's time to stop standing around like an idiot and actually go inside. First glance, this place was pretty swanky. "Wow." was all she could manage. She looks for anything resembling a store front or bar. She could use a drink or two. Or seven.
15[18:03] * +Karina cocks her head and 'ah's. "Hot water's important, whereas the others... eh... but these are things that no other business has?"
[18:04] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvertail, who lives up to the name on the sign, smiles; "But of course, Aside from those with permanent residences, mine are the only temporary accomodations you might find here in Tenpony."
07[18:06] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "Mind showing us around?"
[18:07] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof sighs; "This is not something you should be beating yourself up about. If she wakes up at all, it will be thanks to you, and that is what matters."
15[18:07] * +Karina nods. Well that was disappointing. "Well... I'm not even sure we'll be here to stay all day. Does Tenpony have anything in the way of... standalone showers?"
07[18:08] * +Desert_Storm spots nothing relevant to her interests. There was Lily... but he didn't seem like talkign today. She makes for the higher floors in the hopes of finding something to eat and drink.
07[18:10] * +Keen buries his head in his legs. "... This whole world is so fucked up. I did this to a pony and ponies are telling me that it was a heroic thing that I may have ruined her life..." Enough. Enough with the pity party. You have a job to do, remember? "Look. How much for a room and keeping her out of the filly's sight until she wakes up?"
[18:11] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvertail; "Since you are new here I can give you soem direction, but I must stay and mind my business. Most of the floors are either residences for the citizens or temporary accomodations. The fourth through seventh floors are the shopping mezanine, as well as the constabulary. The floors below that are mainly storage and delivery areas.
[18:11] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 "
07[18:12] * +SmartCookie saks: "Is there any chance that i can find a workbench around here?"
15[18:13] * +Karina nods. "Thanks." She looks at Cookie. "Well I'm going to go get a snack." She looks back at Silvertail. "If I need a room I'll be back." She trots back to the elevator.
[18:13] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof looks contemplative; "I can put her up here, and in lieu of charging you, I'd like to look at those synthetics while she's still under. I could learn a lot and it may be able to help other patients in the future."
07[18:13] * +SmartCookie nods at her and says: "See you around.", before waiting for an answer.
[18:14] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvertail nods; "I think the constabulary and perhaps one or two of the merchants would have such crafting stations."
07[18:15] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "Could you tell me where to look for those?"
13[18:16] * Chor ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
15[18:16] * +Karina hits the button for the fourth floor and waits for Cookie to enter.
07[18:17] * +Keen looks down in thought. "As long as you don't use them against those ponies' wills, I suppose I could do that. Just don't hurt her." He trotted out of the room, spotting the filly looking rather anxious. He needed to do something. "Hey. Fire. Come with me, I need your help with something." He didn't quite know if he was sure he needed her, but he was sure
07[18:17] * +SmartCookie heads inside the elevator.
[18:17] <+Keen> this wasn't healthy for the filly.
15[18:17] * +Karina goes to the fourth floor. Shopping ahoy!
07[18:19] * +SmartCookie starts looking around for a shop that could have a workbench as they arrive on the 4th floor.
04[18:19] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Karina spies a number of vendors in the merchant area. 'Fine Edibles', the Constabulary Office, a shop that sells only wine across from a shop that sells only cheese.
07[18:19] * +Fire_Lily looks up at Keen, a little confused. "But... what about..."
07[18:19] * +Fire_Lily is unable to finishe the sentence
06[18:20] * Ember ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
15[18:20] * +Karina sniffs and smells... cheese... She follows her noes over towards the shop that sells only cheese.
07[18:20] * +Desert_Storm doesn't find anything of interest on the the second and third floors either.
07[18:21] * +SmartCookie spots the constabulary office and heads for it, entering and taking a quick glance around.
07[18:22] * +Keen attempts to usher her on. "Come on. You won't make her feel any better worrying about her. And..." He choked on his own words for a bit. "... I need your help trying to find what happened to my sister. Can you please help me?" He said with a pathetic look on his face.
[18:23] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The fifth floor holds a restaraunt.
07[18:23] * +Fire_Lily stands up, hesitantly. "You have a sister...?"
07[18:23] * +Desert_Storm is there in an instant.
15[18:24] * +Karina shrugs at the empty store and heads to the fifth floor.
07[18:24] * +Keen frowns. "Had."
07[18:26] * +Fire_Lily frowns back at him, and walks up next to him. "You... want me to help? How can I help?"
04[18:29] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Karina and Desert arrive at the restaurant at about the same time; there are a number of tables, only one of which is occupied. They are currently being tended to by a fancily dressed waiter.
15[18:30] * +Karina looks over at Desert_Storm. "Find anything interesting?"
07[18:30] * +Keen trots to the familiar elevator and presses 23. "I had two sisters. I doubt I'll find the other, though. Lustrous was always the adventurous one. Have you ever read Daring Do? She was like that." You're not answering the question, Keen, "You can be around for one, Even that helps." Even if you're horrible around fillies and colts.
[18:30] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The clerk behind the desk in the constabulary office looks up over the rim of his glasses at Cookie; "Yes?"
07[18:30] * +Desert_Storm shakes her head. "Not a thing."
15[18:31] * +Karina shrugs. "Found cheese."
07[18:31] * +SmartCookie trots up to him and says: "I was looking for a workbench I could use. I was told i may find it here."
[18:32] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The clerk snorts; "Name?"
07[18:32] * +Desert_Storm sighs.
07[18:32] * +SmartCookie says: "Smart-Cookie."
[18:33] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The clerk looks over a list of names; "The constabulary and its facilities are available for use by Tenpony Citizens only."
07[18:34] * +Desert_Storm takes a seat at one of the tables, not sure if this was one of those resturaunts.
04[18:35] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waiter brings Desert and Karina menus after (deliberately you think) making them wait ten minutes.
07[18:35] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "I see. I wont solicit your time any longer then.", trotting out again and looking about the shops.
[18:36] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Most of the other shops are close by now. It's past most ponies' dinner time.
07[18:37] * +SmartCookie groans in annoyance and heads up to the restaurants. Maybe there was something to be eaten after all...
07[18:39] * +Desert_Storm browses the menu.
07[18:40] * +Fire_Lily is following Keen, listening to his story. Despite her... frustration with how he treated her like she couldn't take care of herself before, the discovery that he had lost family made her wonder more about him. "I didn't get to read that many books... My... My parents... they thought I should study instead of do fun stuff..."
07[18:42] * +SmartCookie spots his other companions and trots up to them, giving them a nod and taking a seat aswell.
[18:42] <+Fire_Lily> "Everything I read was about magic..."
07[18:44] * +Keen sighs. Of course she hasn't read Daring Do. "... Yeah, me too. My parents were both unicorns. They had a whole scholarship ready for me at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns with some of the top teachers of the time. Imagine their faces when they saw me for the first time." Ding. He got on and waited for the filly to come on as well.
[18:45] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waiter finally trots up to the group; "May I take your orders?" She speaks to you as though you are beneath her notice.
07[18:45] * +Desert_Storm closes her menu. This was nice and all, but it was way to expensive for her blood. After waiting for that rude waiter to come back she crosses her hooves and frowns. "I think I'll just have a water.
[18:45] <+Desert_Storm> "*
07[18:46] * +SmartCookie looks at her and says: "I will have to take a look at the menu first, but thank you."
[18:47] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress looks bored as she hands Cookie a menu; "Drinks in the meantime then?"
13[18:48] * +Fire_Lily ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: See you !)
07[18:48] * +SmartCookie says: "I'd like a glass of water as well."
06[18:48] * Fire_Lily ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[18:51] * +SmartCookie flips the menu open and takes a look. Ther Horror! The Horror! At least he could attempt to look normally.
[18:52] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress wanders off, coming back a few minutes later with three glasses of water. It is the cleanest, freshest water you have ever seen.
06[18:52] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v Fire_Lily
07[18:52] * +Fire_Lily follows Keen into the elevator, grinning. "They must have been surprised..."
15[18:52] * +Karina takes a drink of this fresh, clean water.
07[18:53] * +SmartCookie does so aswell and enjoys the taste.
07[18:53] * +Desert_Storm 's eyes dart from the waitress  to the water. Oh damn that looked amazing. She sipped the water, a little skeptical. "Thank you." she adds accentuating the "you" as the waitress walked away.
15[18:54] * +Karina rolls her eyes at Storm as she downs the glass of water. Wow that tasted good.
[18:56] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress comes back with a pitcher and refills the glasses; "Now, are you going to order something or just stare at it?"
07[18:56] * +Keen pushes the button and sighed. Somewhat sad, somewhat nostalgic, somewhat distantly happy. "Despite what you hear, any theory on pony genetics are probably bull-" She's a filly, Keen. "Urm. They're probably lies. So they didn't know what to do with me. Then they try again, get two unicorn sisters like they wanted. Start spending time with them. I'll admit"
[18:56] <+Keen> "I was jealous."
07[18:56] * +SmartCookie looks at the menu and then says to the waitress: "Could you bring us one of those Banana Puree Baskets for each?"
07[18:57] * +Desert_Storm snorts. "If you're paying."
15[18:57] * +Karina shrugs. "Alright..."
07[18:58] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "It will be my pleasure."
07[18:58] * +Desert_Storm deadpans. What. The. Buck.
[18:59] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress nods and takes the menus back with her before trotting away
07[18:59] * +Keen leans back. "Turns out, they just didn't know how to raise a pegasus. They'd immersed themselves into magic so much, they looked at me and just saw somepony who couldn't get what they were doing, no matter how hard they tried. But it didn't mean I didn't love my sisters, though. I was just jealous that they got to spend time training magic with them and-
[18:59] <+Keen> I was just alone with my books."
15[18:59] * +Karina would double take, but she's a bit too pleased that Cookie is back to being himself to cre.
07[19:00] * +Keen raises an ear when the door dinged and opened again. Floor 23. Just got to find room 2340.
07[19:00] * +Desert_Storm nods and eyes the waitress as she leaves again. Feisty. Real cold-hearted bitch. She liked that.
07[19:00] * +Fire_Lily frowns. "Oh... that so sad! I... I never had any brothers or sisters, and I always had lots of attention... TOO much attention. I never got to... do what I wanted. Only what they wanted."
07[19:02] * +SmartCookie looks at Desert_Storm and says: "We have a difficult couple of days behind us and still we managed to get here, to get Primer into a save environment for her to heal of her wounds. I say we should merry while it lasts." And with a smile he adds: "And after all i think we all need to eat something."
[19:03] <+SmartCookie> +be*
07[19:03] * +Keen looks outside as the floor seemed... Empty. That was all kinds of creepy. He unsteadily walked out of the elevator, trotting towards someplace out of memory. "Well. I guess you get what my sisters probably felt out of the deal. It took me a while to realize that."
07[19:04] * +Desert_Storm blinks. Uhhhhhhh okay. Let hin think whatever he wants, as long as he's buying.
[19:04] <+Desert_Storm> him*
07[19:06] * +Fire_Lily follows Keen out of the elevator, and looks around
06[19:08] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
15[19:08] * +Karina shrugs a bit. "Merry... I can't remember the last time I slept."
[19:08] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The Twenty-Third Floor is mostly empty, and a few of the rooms were boarded up. This was apparently right on the edge of the living areas, and probably the cheapest rent. Nopony is around at present. The south side wall has all of its windows broken and boarded over
07[19:10] * +Keen slows down and pauses for a moment and looks around. The base of his head started to get that fizzy painful feeling again. "Fire, stay close. Get ready to run on my command. Can you do that?"
07[19:12] * +Fire_Lily is confused. Was there... something wrong? She moves a little closer. "What's... going on?"
07[19:14] * +Keen slowly makes his way up and continues, much more cautious per step. "Just trust me. I don't think we're alone here. I want you in leg's reach in case we both have to leave in a hurry." 2340. 2340. You aren't stopping now. 2340.
[19:15] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress returns with the food. It's artistically woven into a basket, and actually quite tasty... despite being 200 years old.
[19:16] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Room 2340 is one of the few not boarded over. The door is locked, and the '0' is haning on its last screw
07[19:17] * +Fire_Lily follows silently behind, ready to act at a moment's notice
07[19:18] * +Desert_Storm nods to the waitress with a slight smile as she takes her food. It was damn good.
07[19:19] * +Keen frowned and examined the door. "Funny. This doesn't seem like her."
07[19:20] * +Fire_Lily whispers, "What doesn't?"
13[19:21] * Ember ([email protected]) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ember_)))
07[19:21] * +SmartCookie looks at the others and says: "Bon appétit.", as the plates are served to him and his companions. So have no fear and don't look back! The afterlife awaits! He then start eating, quite mannered actually.
06[19:21] * Ember_ ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[19:21] * Ember_ is now known as Ember
07[19:22] * +Keen attempts to push open the door. "Shimmer would make the wall blend in with the door so she could get some privacy."
[19:25] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Door is locked tight
07[19:25] * +Fire_Lily smiles a bit. That sounded like a smart trick.
15[19:25] * +Karina digs right into the food. Sure, it might be a bit racist stereotype that zebras are a bunch of tribals, but she wasn't much for manners at the moment. She was hungry.
07[19:26] * +Keen frowned when the door handled jiggled ineffectively. Great. And him without his spare key. "Fire, mind handling this lock?"
07[19:27] * +Desert_Storm takes a few more bites of her banana whatever. Mmmmmmbananas.
07[19:27] * +Fire_Lily grins. "Okay!" She took out her tools and went to work.
07[19:29] * +SmartCookie takes another sip of his water and a brief glance at his companions, before continuing eating.
15[19:30] * +Karina is quickly determining that they needed to figure out where they got this water from.
06[19:30] * ErrantIndy ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[19:31] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Lily opens the lock deftly with a click. The door opens a crack
04[19:31] * +Desert_Storm agrees with Karina's narrator. This was actually -too- good. Where did this come from?
07[19:31] * +Fire_Lily smiles wide as the lock clicks open. Doors, she knew her way around. Doors were her /specialty/.
[19:31] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The wairtress returns; "Enjoying your food?"
07[19:32] * +Desert_Storm nods. "Indeed, thank you." There are those manners. She'd been looking for those.
07[19:32] * +SmartCookie nods with a smile at her and says: "It is delicious, thank you. Your cook surely knows what he's doing."
15[19:32] * +Karina nods. "Mmmm... yes. Where do you get the water? I tried to remember any place I'd seen it, but I couldn't possibly guess."
07[19:33] * +Keen , for a very brief moment and for probably one of the first and only times, smiled sincerely and excitedly. "Oh, thank you, you glorious little filly!" He braced himself, then swung open the door slowly.
07[19:34] * +Fire_Lily manages to smile even wider at the praise from Keen. Maybe now he'd realize she could take care of herself just fine!
[19:34] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress still looks bored. "Finest eats you'll find in the wasteland. As for the water, there were a few Water Talismans left in the building so we put them to use. One in the spa, one for the stores and restaurants, another in the upper levels that I don't know what it's for and a last one to cover the appartments."
15[19:35] * +Karina blinks. Water... talismans... seriously? They had four? Just... all for... four?!
[19:35] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The inside of the room is sparse. There are a few boxes that looked like they were packed up for a move but never retrieved.
07[19:36] * +Desert_Storm blinks. Spa. "Four?"
[19:36] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress nods; "Four." She then saunters off to get the bill.
15[19:37] * +Karina just shakes her head.
07[19:38] * +Keen sat at the entrance to the door for a moment, mouth agape. He's here. She might not have died here. Where did she die, then? Keen slid in and looked around cautiously. "Lily. Lights on. Please."
[19:38] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress comes back and slaps the bill in front of Smart Cookie. The total read 90 caps. She looks at them with that bored expression; "Thank you for choosing our fine establishment. Please come again."
06[19:39] * ErrantIndy ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[19:39] * +SmartCookie hoofs over the caps, still smiling and says: "We sure will. It was a pleasure, madame."
07[19:39] * +Fire_Lily casts her light spell as asked, illuminating the room.
07[19:40] * +SmartCookie hoofs over the caps, still smiling and says: "We sure will. It was a pleasure, madame."
07[19:41] * +Keen spots a painting in the back. Three boxes. Though something's askew with the painting there in the back, the one of a nice flowing field with a view of Canterlot in the distance. Sun shining. Just by his experience, he remembered to always check behind posters. So he did.
[19:43] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 There's a locked safe behind the picture
07[19:43] * +Desert_Storm gives another nod to the waitress and slides her twenty caps. Tip the poor mare Cookie, she looked bored to death.
07[19:43] * +Fire_Lily watches Keen rummage around in interest
15[19:44] * +Karina looks at Storm and Cookie. Would they be up for something like that? No... probably not...
[19:44] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress comes back long enough to take the money and the tip. Still looking bored and aloof. "Thank you for your patronage."
07[19:45] * +Keen grins. Aw, sweetheart. I know I've told you a thousand times to stop touching my things. I apologize for the hypocrisy I'm about to commit. "Fire. Got another locked thing for you, dear." He said, moving to start rummaging in the boxes.
07[19:46] * +Fire_Lily walks over to where Keen was looking around to try an attempt at the safe
[19:48] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The safe proves easier than the door for some reason. It opens handily
15[19:49] <+Karina> hoofily*
07[19:49] * +Fire_Lily returns her tools to their place, and whispers to Keen, "Got it!"
15[19:49] * +Karina continues looking between Desert_Storm and SmartCookie. "Four..."
07[19:50] * +Desert_Storm nods. "Four."
07[19:50] * +SmartCookie nods and says more silently: "This truely is a little excessive..."
15[19:51] * +Karina "Think they could do with maybe... three or two?"
07[19:51] * +Desert_Storm waves a hoof around. "This entire place is a little excessive. I mean, it's nice. But... four."
[19:52] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The waitress is over by the counter filing a hoof. The other patrons have all left
07[19:53] * +SmartCookie nods and takes a look around. "I think we should be leaving..."
15[19:53] * +Karina nods and gobbles up what was left of her food and what liquid remained in her cup. Ugh... it tasted so good... so clean...
07[19:54] * +SmartCookie after taking the last swig of his water he gets up and waits for his companions to do so aswell.
07[19:57] * +Desert_Storm savors every last drop of that water. It wasn't even this good back home, well, maybe that's because it's been a while. "Sure, we should... Wait. What do we do now? Are we staying the night here?"
07[19:58] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "We don't have any other choice, discriminating against being attacked by bloodwings."
07[19:59] * +Keen nods his head and smiles widely. His hooves were shaking with anticipation. Okay, first one was books. Ruined, Ruined, Standardized spellbook for the filly, ruined... Waitaminute. Keen briefly looked like he had found the holy grail for a moment. Two of them, really. "... Fire, come here. I need to give you something, but you have to promise to give them-
[19:59] <+Keen> back."
13[20:00] * Waak ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87 [Firefox 12.0/20120420145725])
15[20:01] * +Karina "Clinic or suites?"
07[20:02] * +Fire_Lily comes closer to look at what Keen wanted to give her. "What is it?"
07[20:02] * +Desert_Storm stands up and trots for the door. "Clinic. I'll be back."
15[20:03] * +Karina goes to head back to the elevator and go to the clinic.
07[20:03] * +SmartCookie flows her out of the restaurants and follows the two mares.
07[20:03] * +Keen smiles. "Okay. The first one's just a spellbook for you. The other two are much more important to me." He raises up an old, thin bound book with wrinkled pages. "This one's from my sister, Shimmer. She's one of the best researchers and specializes in the use of light magic."
07[20:05] * +Keen hoofs it over to her. "It's her old research journal. I... Think you might be able to pull more use out of it than I can. Just... Please give it back."
[20:07] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 back at the clinic, Helpinghoof has Primer hooked up to a number of instruments, and is running somes tests on her.
07[20:07] * +Fire_Lily looks at the both the spellbook and the old journal in awe, and nods. She puts both away.
07[20:08] * +Keen has a look on his face that he hadn't had in a very long time. A little spark of color behind his eyes that wasn't on there usually. "The next one's a bit closer to my heart. When Lustrous was growing up, my parents had her studying for her cutie mark 16/7. And she wasn't taking to it. Not like Shimmer did, she always had a head for theory. Lustrous was-
15[20:08] * +Karina steps back out of the elevator and into the clinic, looking for Helpinghoof.
07[20:09] * +SmartCookie heads to the bed where the put Primer on and sits in front of the curtains.
04[20:10] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Heliping hoof looks up at the Karina and nods; "Here to check on your friend? She's stable, although still comatose. There's been no rejection yet though."
15[20:11] * +Karina nods. "Yeah. What's she going to be like when she wakes?"
07[20:11] * +SmartCookie looks over to the doctor and asks: "Rejection of what? Keen didn't tell us what he did with her."
[20:11] <+Keen> more... practical. And I noticed she was bored, so I gave her one of the books that I grew up with. And I've never seen her read anything so voraciously in my life." He reveals the other book, Daring Do and the Griffon's Goblet with a filly's mouthwriting in the beginning flap. Lustrous.
04[20:11] * +Desert_Storm follows Karina in and sits down in the corner,  crossing her hooves.She nods, hearing Karina ask the question she wanted to hear.
07[20:12] * +Keen laughs a little. "She once told me that Daring Do had more to do with how she got her cutie mark than what mom and dad had her reading."
07[20:13] * +Fire_Lily 's eyes widen. /This/ was more of a surprise. She takes this book as well, and puts it safely away. "I'll keep them safe... I promise."
13[20:15] * Ember ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Easy as 3.14159265358979323846... )
[20:15] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof raises an eyebrow; "He didn't tell you? Actually, given his self recrimination, I'm not too surprised. He used synthetics to replace her damaged skin and organs."
15[20:16] * +Karina blinks. "Oh..."
07[20:17] * +Desert_Storm blinks. "Oh..."
07[20:17] * +SmartCookie nods and thinks to him self: 'After a minor serverdown, here comes Primer 2.0' "I take it the implants where a necessity?"
[20:18] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof nods; "Yes. He was worried about the effect the synthetics may have on her equinity. He failed to realize that, given the extent of the damage, he did something nearly miraculous to save her life. I've never seen anything like it."
07[20:19] * +Desert_Storm stammers. "N-neither have I..."
15[20:19] * +Karina blinks.
07[20:20] * +Keen smiles and ruffles Fire_Lily's mane. "I know you will, kiddo. I know you will." He had a nostalgic look in his eye, as if he wasn't looking at the filly in front of him, but a filly much older nowadays. "Now, let's see what's in the safe, huh?"
07[20:21] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "I can see his concern." He then asks: "Was there any alteration of her brain involved?"
13[20:22] * Mirage ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88.2 [Firefox 12.0/20120420145725])
07[20:22] * +Keen lifts out a box of magical research items and clothing. "Hey. Dig through there while I dig through the safe. See if there's anything you like." He then pops open the safe and looks inside.
07[20:24] * +Fire_Lily looks at the box curiously, taking a look inside
07[20:24] * +Desert_Storm thinks back hard on her measly medical training. It had never really been a priority back home but now, it really had her thinking. "Keen... How the hell did he do this? This has got to be one of the most complicated procedures anypony could preform and he did it unassisted."
06[20:24] * Somber ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[20:25] <+Desert_Storm> "... In one night. In the sick bay of an irradiated cloudship. It's... incredible."
[20:26] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof shakes his head; "No, her brain and synaptic patterns are completely fine. He replaced her liver, pancreas and added a pacemaker to her heart. Her skin is also a plastic-rubber synthetic graft. The fact that she didn't suffer a lethal infection alone is nearly miraculous."
15[20:27] * +Karina blinks yet again. "So... she'll be fine?"
[20:28] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof nods; "Considering that there's been no rejection at this point, I believe she'll make a full recovery as soon as the shock fades."
07[20:29] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "Then is concerns may not be quite as valid. Pony philosophers said that a change in equinity may only be achived by alteration of the mind. Not it depends on her how she will handle the changes."
15[20:29] * +Karina "Can we see her?"
04[20:29] * +Desert_Storm blinks at Cookie. Okay. How long had Cookie been learned in philosophy? She found herself agreeing with Karina a bit too much today.
04[20:30] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof looks at Cookie funny for a second, then addresses Karina, who seems less crazy. He pulls back the curtain, revealing Primer, still half covered by the sheet
07[20:30] * +SmartCookie looks over to Storm and the doctor before saying: "What? A pony can read, can he?"
15[20:31] * +Karina walks forward to get a closer look at her, giving a hushed "Woah..."
07[20:32] * +Desert_Storm takes off her glasses. "Primer..."
07[20:33] * +SmartCookie steps closer as well. Hopefully she would take those changes well. Not to imagine what could happen if she went berserk now...
06[20:33] * Somber ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[20:35] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Primer's skin and coat have been entirely replaced by a waxy, glossy synthetic. Her forelegs have been augmented with the full attachment of her mechano hand-hooves.
15[20:36] * +Karina looks at Helpinghoof. "Might there be a way we can stay overnight?"
07[20:37] * +SmartCookie looks over to the doctor, images of the fight flashing up in front of his inner eye.
07[20:38] * +Desert_Storm backs away slowly. Not out of fear, no. It was something different. Awe. Okay, maybe there was a little fear. She slumps down in her chair and nervously breaks off a piece of her chocolate bar. "I'd like to stay here overnight too."
[20:38] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof shakes his head; "I'm sorry, but I only accomodate patients. You'll have to see Silvertail about a room."
07[20:39] * +SmartCookie takes a deep breath and says: "I guessed that..."
07[20:40] * +Desert_Storm frowns. "Well, could we at least stay a little longer? I think I need some time to think about this."
[20:41] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof nods; "You can stay, but onlt for another half hour. I have a few more tests to run and some other measures to take."
07[20:42] * +SmartCookie a dure expression takes over his face, mentally cursing every single individual that lead to this time-line...
07[20:43] * +SmartCookie he then takes a few steps away from the bed, to make room for the doctor.
15[20:43] * +Karina snorts softly. She takes another look at Primer then gets out of Helpinghoof's way and starts pacing.
07[20:43] * +Desert_Storm nods. She needed more time than that. "Alright. I'll... go find a room."
15[20:44] * +Karina "Twentieth floor..."
[20:45] <+Desert_Storm> "Right."
07[20:45] * +Desert_Storm heads for the door, before stealing one last glance at Primer.
13[20:48] * +Desert_Storm ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: See you !)
04[20:48] * +SmartCookie looks over to Karina and says silently: "The maelstrom of time has changed us... Ever single one of use..."
06[20:48] * Desert_Storm ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[20:48] <+SmartCookie> -e*
15[20:49] * +Karina looks up at Cookie. The what... "Just happy she's alive."
[20:49] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Primer is breathing softly, but not moving otherwise
06[20:49] * TenMihara|GM sets mode: +v Desert_Storm
07[20:50] * +Fire_Lily , after rummaging around in the box for a bit, finds something that seems... strange to her. Inspecting it, it looks like some kind of ring. "Hey... what's this?"
07[20:51] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "I am too... But the portal to hell is cast with good intentions... And I threw the first good intention in the pot..." He starts to head out.
15[20:52] * +Karina shakes her head as she continues pacing. "-Last- thing we need is you getting all 'everything's my fault' too."
07[20:53] * +Desert_Storm hops into the elevator and heads to the 20th floor. She looks around for somepony to give her a room.
07[20:54] * +Keen is currently rummaging through the safe, and looks back. "It's... Urm. Hold on, it's..."
[20:57] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Desert Storm exits the elevator once again across from Silvermane's Luxury Suites. The green stallion waves to her.
07[20:58] * +Desert_Storm nods and goes to meet this pony. "Hello."
07[20:59] * +SmartCookie stops and says: "I will stay with all of you, fight with you and for you. I charted the course and I will go under with this ship if that is how it will end. There are not many convictions I adhere to, but the one that is first and foremost is taking the consequences of ones actions."
07[20:59] * +SmartCookie he then heads out of the clinic and calls the elevator.
[20:59] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 The stallion looks Storm over, evidently intrigued; "My word, I've never seen a pegasus before. What brings you to my hotel?"
07[21:01] * +Desert_Storm smirks. "I need a room for a few friends of mine, can you help me?"
07[21:01] * +Keen gives a passing glance at the ring, then goes back to look at the contents of the safe and feels his face grow lean. "It's... A horn ring. Looks like it's meant to bolster casting. It... Looks experimental, though. I don't know if it was originally meant to do that." He looks very distracted, and extricates a circlet, black opal, and note from the safe.
07[21:02] * +Keen hefts the circlet. "That sort of thing was right up her alley. She told me about that in a letter. One of the few things I could pick out from MoM censoring."
07[21:03] * +Fire_Lily is very interested. "That's... I've never heard of something like that!" She turns it over, inspecting it from every angle. "So you wear it... on your horn?"
04[21:05] * +SmartCookie rides up to the 20th floor and get's out again, seeing Storm talk to the stallion he and Karina talked earlier to.
[21:06] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane smiles; "Naturally. How many friends do you have? We have accomodations for up to three per room, although I've always preferred the double suit personally. Much more private."
07[21:07] * +Keen turns the circlet around and examines the opal. Fine condition. No cracking. Polished to a shine. "Well, probably for a reason." He thought out loud. And then he read the letter.
07[21:08] * +Desert_Storm thinks about it for a few seconds. "Private huh? I don't suppose I could see one of these doubles, could I?
07[21:08] * +Fire_Lily asks very hesitantly while still looking at the ring, "If it helps magic... do you think... I could keep it? I need all the help I can get with that..."
[21:08] <+Desert_Storm> "*
07[21:09] * +Keen pauses and nods. "It's not like I can use the damn thing."

07[21:14] * +Keen reads the note and just... starts to beak down in tears, hugging the note for all it was worth. He had found it. A little shining hope.
07[21:18] * +Fire_Lily takes the opportunity to test out just how the ring would help her casting. She casts her light spell a few times in succession, smiling as she notices a bit of a difference in how easy it was to shape the spell.
[21:18] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane smirks; "But of course." He trots around and leads Storm down the hall to one of the double rooms
07[21:20] * +Desert_Storm follows, frowning as he trots away.
07[21:20] * +SmartCookie trots away from the elevator towards the counter.
[21:22] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane shows off the suite; Twin Queen sized beds, a small but elegant chandelier and a full bathroom facility.
07[21:23] * +Desert_Storm whistles. "Fancy. How much for a night?"
[21:26] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane smiles; "hundred and Fifty caps a night per room."
07[21:26] * +Desert_Storm blinks. "Huh."
07[21:26] * +Keen gets up and hugs Fire_Lilly, weeping in sheer happiness. "I- I know where she is. I know where she went, Fire! And she forgave me!"
07[21:27] * +Fire_Lily is surprised at the sudden hug, but smiles at the news and returns the hug in kind. "Really? Where?"
07[21:28] * +Keen shows the letter to her. "Here! Here, look at this!"
07[21:29] * +Fire_Lily looks at the letter
07[21:30] * +Fire_Lily is quite confused at the place named in the letter. She's never heard of it.
[21:31] <+Fire_Lily> "But... where's that?"
07[21:32] * +Desert_Storm scratches her mane. "Are the other rooms any less... expensive?"
07[21:32] * +Keen hugs her tighter. "See, all we have to do is find that place and just... I don't know. Give her a proper burial. That's all I've ever wanted. I just wanted to make sure they never hated me for what they've done." Keen shrugs. "I don't know either. Somewhere in Downtown Manehattan, I think. We'll check with Cookie."
[21:35] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane smirks casually; "Well, I can't have a lovely lady such as yourself sleeping in anything less that the lap of luxury. Perhaps we can come to an arrangement."
07[21:36] * +Fire_Lily smiles. "That's good..."
[21:37] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane smirks in a way that suggests -exactly- what he's implying.
07[21:37] * +Desert_Storm nods, forcing a smile. "That's awfully nice of you." She daintily extends a hoof. "Desert Storm, thank you for your..." That wink. "Erm. Thanks."
15[21:39] * +Karina paces.
[21:40] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane takes the hoof and kisses it; "I could see my way to giving you and your friends a room for 120 a night."
07[21:41] * +Desert_Storm nods and turns back to Cookie. "Thank you," she forces a blush at the kiss. "My husband and our guests are extremely grateful. Isn't that right darling?"
07[21:42] * +Keen let her go and rummages through the box of clothes. C'mon, I lent her a bathrobe. It's gotta be in here someplace.
07[21:43] * +SmartCookie chuckles and says: "We sure are." Hell that would never EVER happen.
07[21:44] * +Desert_Storm 's insides burn. He touches her again, that buck was good as gelded.
[21:45] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane looks abashed; "Ah, so you... I see. Well then, let me do get your keys."
07[21:46] * +SmartCookie looks over to Desert_Storm raising a brow at her and shaking his head as the stalion was looking away.
07[21:46] * +Desert_Storm stares daggers at him. "You can pay next time, then." she hissed under her breath.
[21:47] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane trots back to the counter and procures a set of keys, giving them to Desert.
07[21:48] * +SmartCookie snaps back to a happy demeanor as the stallion comes back.
07[21:49] * +Desert_Storm nods. "Thanks you. You've been too kind." She turns to her husband. "Shall we?" she asks giving a nod to the door.
07[21:49] * +Keen flows on the golden bathrobe and starts to trot out of the room. ""Come along, Fire!" He said with a spring in his step.
07[21:50] * +SmartCookie nods, still smiling and head towards Storm and eventually to the door,
[21:50] <+SmartCookie> .*
07[21:51] * +Fire_Lily follows quickly behind Keen
07[21:57] * +Desert_Storm turns to Silvermane, or at least she thinks that's his name. "Would you mind telling our guests that we're here? There's our daughter, her uncle and his wife. He's a pegasus, if that helps. Thank you!" She disappears inside the room.
07[21:58] * +Keen rolls down to the clinic on the elevator.
[21:58] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Silvermane just blinks
06[21:58] * Hedge ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[21:59] * +SmartCookie trots after her and closes the door. He then looks over to Storm and asks silently: "Couldn't you have made up another sort of relation?"
07[22:00] * +Desert_Storm shakes her head. "Did you see the way he looked at me? I needed to make myself look taken." She floats onto one of the beds and melts into the sheets. That was comfort incarnate.
13[22:01] * Hedge ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
[22:01] <+Desert_Storm> "Oh, I could get used to this."
07[22:01] * +Fire_Lily is still following Keen
07[22:02] * +SmartCookie trots away from the door and says: "What about an overprotective cousin or something?" He then trots over to the night table and puts down his 24 caps, before looking around the room for another place to sleep except the bed.
07[22:04] * +Desert_Storm shakes her head again, looking over at the bathtub. Oh... that looked tempting. "Sorry, but we were a little strapped for time. He wouldn't buy that anyway." She decides a bath is in order and trots inside. "Ooohhhh, bath salts. Fancy."
07[22:05] * +Desert_Storm runs a bath. It felt sooooooo good.
07[22:05] * +SmartCookie trots over to the couch and sits down. Hopefully he didn't get suspicious by his horrible actings...
07[22:07] * +Desert_Storm sheds her barding, pulls a bottle of wine from her saddlebags and kicks back, emersing herself in the hot water. Bliss.
15[22:07] * +Karina looks over as the elevator opens. "Hey Keen. Lily."
07[22:07] * +SmartCookie gets out the black box and starts examining it. Maybe he would find what was wrong with it and get it running faster once he got to a workbench.
04[22:09] * +Keen is a lot different from when Karina saw him last. He looked... Happy. It's a weird look on him, like it didn't belong.
15[22:11] * +Karina "Doc says Primer's fine. Cookie and Storm are on the twentieth floor trying to get a room at a place we found earlier when we left to explore."
07[22:12] * +Fire_Lily is also happier, or at least her time with Keen has taken her mind off things.
07[22:14] * +Keen smiled. "Well, good to see the doctor was more effective than I was. I found a room on the twenty-third." He swooshes the robe a little. "Oh. And I found a new robe!"
15[22:14] * +Karina facehoofs.
15[22:14] * +Karina stops her pacing to facehoof. That's how serious the facehoof was.
07[22:18] * +Keen raises an eyebrow. "Well, okay, it's my old one but..."
15[22:19] * +Karina shakes her head. "It's so... bright. How could you possibly wish to stay out of sight?"
07[22:20] * +SmartCookie puts the black box away as he can find anything he didn't know already. "Hey Storm, mind if I turn on the Radio for some music?", he asks.
07[22:20] * +Keen frowns. "What do you mean?"
07[22:21] * +Desert_Storm sips her wine, stewing in the relaxing bath. "Whatever."
07[22:21] * +SmartCookie turns on the radio on his PipBuck.
15[22:21] * +Karina blinks. "You'll be seen from a mile away. There's no way you can get in somewhere unseen and stay that way."
07[22:22] * +Fire_Lily decides to leave them to talk. She's made up her mind. She wants to see Primer, at least. She slips away and enters the clinic as quietly as she can.
[22:24] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 "Gooooood evening Wastelanders. This is a special late night edition of the news with your favourite radio personality, well your only radio personality, DJ P0N-3."
07[22:25] * +Desert_Storm sits  up in her bath and perks her ears up.
07[22:25] * +Fire_Lily starts to look around for Primer once inside the clinic
07[22:26] * +Keen feels the faded gold-colored fabric. "Well, it's not /vividly/ bright. And I never wanted to be stealthy anyway." And it was his old robe. His faithful old robe.
15[22:27] * +Karina shakes her head. "Just... stay away from me when I'm sneaking? The last thing I need is that by me when the enemy is seeking."
06[22:28] * Calbeck ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[22:28] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 "In todays news, a pair of strange, costumed cooks have been seen in area between Gutterville and Hovelhoof. No idea what to make of this one, but they seem harmless enough. Also, Yesterday afternoon there were some fireworks going on just outside city limits. They cut out pretty quick, so I have to guess it was a skirmish of some kind."
07[22:29] * +SmartCookie shakes his head and says: "Talk about a low profile..."
07[22:30] * +Desert_Storm is now interested. She turns off the water and looks for a towel, which they totally are. She leaves her barding in the bathroom and exits still drying her mane. "What's this about ponies in costumes?"
06[22:31] * Gayle ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[22:31] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 "Once again, this is DJ P0N-3, and I'm gonna sign off with a couple safety tips tonight. It's been raining a lot lately, so make sure you gather as much rainwater as you can. It'll be the cleanest stuff you find most of the time. As well, there's still a lot of Steel Ranger Activity, centered around the BUcklyn Area, so keep your distance."
06[22:31] * Calbeck is now known as Roy_Calbeck
07[22:33] * +Fire_Lily finds her on the table while the doctor's back is turned. As carefully as she can, she climbs up onto the table next to her. She... is unsure what to think of what she sees. Her skin looked... strange. But... She could see her breathing. She leans her head against her. She could /feel/ her breathing. She was... suddenly so relieved. She wasn't sure what was going on but... she was alive. She was definitely /alive/.
07[22:33] * +Keen looks slightly, playfully offended. "Pff. Aw, come on. You know that these raider-types would want me shot in the face anyway."
15[22:34] * +Karina smirks. "Yes. That's why you stay far, far away from me so they only shoot at you when you're the first one they see."
07[22:34] * +Fire_Lily can't stop the tears that eventually come, but they're not /bad/ tears. They give Lily much needed relief.
06[22:35] * Pony_76727 is now known as Geschick
07[22:35] * +SmartCookie slightly shrugs and then stands up, trotting for the bath.
07[22:36] * +Fire_Lily just sits there. She doesn't want to leave.

06[22:37] * Doubleclick is now known as Pony_47692
[22:38] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Doctor Helpinghoof turns around and spots Fire_Lily as she sits on the table; "Hey, hey be careful!" He calls. "Wait... I saw you earlier. Listen little filly, your friend there needs some rest before she can recover. I need to ask you to leave."
07[22:40] * +Keen trots on away. "Anyway. Just relay that message to the others, would you? I'll just... What's that commotion...?"
06[22:41] * Pony_47692 is now known as Doubleclick
07[22:41] * +Desert_Storm sinks back into her place in bed. Oh this was almost like sleeping in a cloud. Almost. Not quite the same, but really, really close. She folds her glasses and leaves them on the nightstand. "Ohhh this is amazing."
06[22:41] * Doubleclick is now known as Geschick
07[22:42] * +Fire_Lily doesn't move for quite a long time, but eventually, she sits up, and looks over at the doctor. "When will she... wake up?"
07[22:43] * +SmartCookie takes of his armor and folds it together neatly, putting his saddlebags on top before taking a quick shower. As he get's out again, he carries his stuff to the couch he lay on and sits down again, the radio still going. Thankfully those towels got one dry fairly quick.
[22:43] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Doctor Helpinghoof tries to look supportive; "She's doing pretty well considering what happened to her. But the more rest she gets, the more quickly she'll get better."
06[22:46] * ErrantIndy ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
15[22:47] * +Karina heads over to the elevator and the rooms.
[22:47] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 Helpinghoof picks Lily up and sets her down on the floor, then shoos her away.
06[22:47] * ErrantIndy is now known as Hedge
07[22:48] * +SmartCookie hums to the music his radio was defusing.
07[22:48] * +Fire_Lily gives a scowl. She was about to leave! She quietly leaves the clinic.
15[22:49] * +Karina heads up, takes a luxurious bath and shower, then gtfts.
07[22:50] * +Keen looks at Fire_Lily, realizing just what he had allowed to happen.
07[22:51] * +Fire_Lily looks up after exiting the clinic, and notices Keen staring at her, and gives him a questioning look.
07[22:52] * +SmartCookie eventually turns of the radio and lays down... Tiredness washing over him.
07[22:54] * +Keen is afraid. He's stared down a minigun without really thinking anything about it. He's healed ponies that previously tried to kill him, and only felt the self-loathing flare up in his gut. But for the first time, he has to explain to a filly why her adoptive mother is like what he made her. And he was afraid. "... Fire, I... I didn't want to... I mean, I-"
07[22:59] * +Fire_Lily has no idea what Keen is going on about. He made sure she was okay, hadn't he? She walks forward slowly, and hugs Keen as tight as she can. She whispers, "She was breathing... I was... I was afraid she was gonna be.... gone. I... I had to see her myself..."
07[23:01] * +Fire_Lily hesitates a moment before adding, "Thank you for saving her... I was so... so afraid."
07[23:03] * +Keen blinks. Keen didn't quite know what to say about that. Was he the only one that thinks he's going to a special hell for what he did to Primer? Perhaps. But that... That didn't mean he should ruin it for Lily. He simply wrapped a leg around her and... Didn't quite know what came next.
07[23:05] * +Fire_Lily just continues hugging him. It was comforting.

[23:07] <%TenMihara|GM> 3 With a swanky room, some nice baths and the hope of a full recovery for Primer, things are looking up for the group. What comes next, who can say, but for now... all is well.
