Star Group Session 32

01[21:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ----------------------------------- STAR GROUP SESSION 32 BEGINNING --------------------------------------------------------------
06[21:25] * +Sour_Grape exits quite suddenly, "So..."
[21:25] <+Sour_Grape> exists
06[21:25] * +Sour_Grape is off to a great start!
06[21:26] * +Roy_Calbeck is in the kitchen with Dinah. Roy is in the kitchen, I knoo-oo-oow. Roy is in the kitchen with Dinah, gettin' food for a detox ho'!
06[21:27] * +Roy_Calbeck is, seriously, in the kitchen getting some food. Purging literally takes a lot out of you. He's already gotten the private room with bath.
01[21:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Once more we delve into the hellish spell-blasted desert landscape known as the Mareizona. Having finally solved the mystery behind Wild Berry's death, as well as the cause and purpose of the Juice Family Caravans, our beleguered group find themselves within the confines of the 'Broken Carriage Wheel Inn.' being just past high noon. Roy_Calbeck, being as alturistic as ever, is inside a basic room in the inn, tending to Peach Nectar's chem addictions. The mare exiled from the large still independant city, the group only has 24 hours roughly, before harsh action is taken if she is still found within it's walls. The rest of the group is down in the main barroom, the usual group of patrons inside, including the totally non-stereotypical totally original chef/inn owner.
06[21:28] * +Dust_Off sits down at a table to think while she counts her caps.
06[21:29] * +Slag_Heap spots Dust_Off and walks over to her. "Uh, Cap... can we talk for a minute?"
06[21:29] * +Sagittis sets his minigun down and starts angrily cleaning its jammed barrels.
06[21:29] * +Sour_Grape stares at Dust_Off's caps longingly... "Ya know, it'd be easier if we like, pooled out caps tagether er some shit."
01[21:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The snooty waiter pony is there still, though keeping his refined and diginfied poise, it's quite obvious the buck was tired. The owner goes to town frying up a batch of delicious smelling food, causing many patrons inside to salivate with open mouths... when they're not oggling Dust_Off.
01[21:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar juice pants and sweats profusely... the sweat trickling down her face as she lays in bed....            by herself, in a fetal position, already the withdrawl effects of chems torturing the poor mare as Roy_Calbeck looks on in the room.
06[21:32] * +Dust_Off is oblivious to such ogling, being so used to it.  She smiles at Sour_Grape, "Oh?  Isn't that what you do?  Taking and selling all our loot?"  She glances at Slag_Heap, "Sure, Slag, what about?"
02[21:32] * Xavicorn ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[21:33] * +Slag_Heap looks slightly ashamed. "Ma'am... we both know I would have been court martialled for what I did, if this were an actual outfit. I abandonned my post and got distracted..."
06[21:33] * +Sour_Grape nods at Dust_Off, "Yeah... totally... just if I had all the caps, it'd be easier. I get the bestest prices anyway..."
01[21:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape's world noticably dulls as the mint-als fade, giving the filly a rather nasty headache in it's place. Even though it was dulled, it still felt bad.
06[21:36] * +Dust_Off nods to Slag_Heap, "I've known commanders who'd have you shot for wandering off during a chaotic event like that....but I'm not them.  Just don't do it again."  She glances to Sour_Grape and then turns to look at her.  "How would you handle our finances?"
06[21:37] * +Slag_Heap sighs and nods. "It was stupid. I'm sorry." He goes into his pack and pulls out 3 dubloons. "I think... this should cover what I owe you, and then some." He shakes his head. "I thought it was going to run smoothly with you guys... then the smoke..." He sighs. "I'm sorry."
06[21:37] * +Sour_Grape suddenly head tables. That'll make the headach go away. She looks up at Dust_Off and says. "I'd handle them... well..."
06[21:38] * +Slag_Heap "Or would you rather th-" He looks at Sour_Grape head table. "...the caps..."
01[21:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 A couple of ponies jerk to the loud noise of the head tabling, staring for briefly at the trio before going back to their food / conversations amongst one another.
06[21:41] * +Sour_Grape didn't head table that hard...
06[21:41] * +Dust_Off takes the doubloons.  She turns back to Grape.  "Not really what I meant, Grape. What would you do?  Say...if I need medical supplies, Roy needs ammo, Slag needs a new weapon, and Sagi needs a coat trim?  Lots of money to deal with and juggle.  And stop bashing your head."
06[21:43] * +Sour_Grape tilts her head, "Uh, first the new weapon, then the ammo, then the medical supplies. An the coat trim only if sagi begged." She frowned, "That's what yer suppose ta do when you have a headach."
06[21:43] * +Sagittis twitches his ear at the mention of his name, but goes back to caring for his weapons, especially looking over the missile launcher.
06[21:45] * +Slag_Heap remains there. "I... think I'm going to hang on to my caps. Don't think I can afford more 'service fees'."
06[21:45] * +Dust_Off shakes her head at Sour_Grape, "We should get Roy to help you with those Mintals when he's done with the mare."  She thinks for a long moment and then pushes 500 of her credits to Grape.  "I want to keep some for myself, but I think you're right."  She glances at Slag_Heap, "Service Fees?"
06[21:45] * +Roy_Calbeck walks in on Peach, having obtained food. It's mostly plain, cheap stuff, but there's a lot of it.
06[21:45] * +Slag_Heap nods. "For selling the junk I gave her."
06[21:46] * +Sour_Grape points out to Slag_Heap, "Ah got you more fer yer shit then mah service fee..." She smiles at Dust_Off and takes the caps, "Ah wont charge you service fees Dust." She doesn't comment on the mint-als at all
06[21:46] * +Sagittis looks over to the table. "He is dating a hooker. There will be plenty of fees."
06[21:46] * +Sour_Grape giggles at Sagittis
06[21:46] * +Slag_Heap glares at Sagittis. "Go fuck yourself, kid."
06[21:47] * +Dust_Off gives Sour_Grape a tired look.  "You charged him a fee?  Grape, that isn't right.  I haven't charged any of you for medical services rendered."
[21:47] <+Dust_Off> "And Sagittis, she's a dancer not a hooker...maybe...I think."
06[21:48] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes at Dust_Off, "Yeah, but... that's different."
06[21:48] * +Slag_Heap looks at Dust_Off. "I don't mind the fee. The kid deserves it." He then glares at Sagittis again and says to Dust_Off, "I sincerely hope she is just a dancer..."
06[21:50] * +Dust_Off raises an eyebrow at Grape, "Oh?  Is it?  You sold junk.  I've saved your /lives/.  My work seems much more valuable."
06[21:50] * +Sour_Grape nods at Dust_Off, "Exactly! It's morally dubious ta charge fer life savin'!"
06[21:51] * +Dust_Off just looks at Grape.  "Doctors do it all the time.  It's called a medical practice.  What I'd be doing if I wasn't wandering around getting shot at."
06[21:52] * +Sagittis shrugs. "She was in a whorse house, odds are good... And what if she is, eh?" He smirks at Sour_Grape. "Good logic there."
01[21:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The door to the inn, the sound of hoofsteps reveal Pepper Spray wearing her black leather duster over her blue Juice family security barding. Using a fetlock to wipe off her brow, the somewhat attractive cyclops earth pony mare makes her way to the grilling station that the owner was at, nodding to Dust_Off, Slag_Heap, Sour_Grape, and Sagittis. However, she adds a smirk to the zebra colt as she spots him, continuing on her way to her destination.
06[21:53] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sagittis. "Getting reeeeal tired of your shit, kid." He looks back to Dust_Off and Sour_Grape, then to Pepper and nods.
06[21:53] * +Dust_Off spots Pepper Spray and nods to the most unstealthy of tails they'd had.
06[21:54] * +Roy_Calbeck walks over to Peach, looks down at the addicted mare. "Rest now. We don't have a lot of time." The white unicorn lowers his horn, setting it aglow, and casts Sound Sleep on her... set for just four hours.
06[21:54] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "Well ah mean, it's different. Healin's yer job, kill'ns mah job. We get paid fer the jobs we do, that's yer payment for life savin'. The Sellin's like a side business." She looks between Slag and Sagi, "Maybe he's gettin' tired'a yours too."
06[21:55] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes.
01[21:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Shuddering with her eyes closed, Peach Nectar Juice, her face looking visibly strained until it relaxes at Roy_Calbeck's magical touch. The mare looked so peaceful now, though she still sweat and was curled up.
06[21:56] * +Dust_Off grins at Sour_Grape, "As I've given you caps to be our Quartermaster and Requisition Officer, your side business is now your job.  Killing is your side job as it is mine."
06[21:56] * +Sagittis blinks at Pepper Spray... oookay then... He glances back at Slag_Heap. "Tuff teats." He smirks at Sour_Grape. "Thanks. Now, you wanted to hold onto the cash, right?"
06[21:58] * +Sour_Grape sighs at Dust_Off, "Fine... I'm still keeping the caps ah got from Slag. Is just easier this way, ya'll want me there when ya buy stuff anyway." She looks at Sagi and nods, "Thas the idea." She can't believe she got them all to give her their caps.
06[21:58] * +Slag_Heap ignores the zebra. "So what's my job in all this? Hasn't been that clear..."
06[21:59] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs, then casts another spell, wrapping the mare in the muted, off-white glow of Clean.
01[21:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> Slag_Heap's head makes for a good S.O.S. reflector.
06[22:00] * +Sour_Grape "Bullet Sponge."
06[22:00] * +Dust_Off smiles at Grape, "Thank you."  She turns to Slag_Heap and considers him.  "Mostly killing things at the moment, but you've shown a talent for getting us into things and places whether through blunt force or more subtle means...entry expert."
06[22:00] * +Slag_Heap might be bald, but does look intimidating. He looks at Dust_Off. "So... door knocker."
06[22:01] * +Sagittis plants his bag of 1000 caps and 7 doubloons down by Sour_Grape. "Have at it." He looks to Slag_Heap. "Carrying stuff, I would say. Unskilled labor, not too big an issue if you wander off." He blinks at Sour_Grape. "Yeah, meat wall works too." He looks to Dust_Off. "You need a refill on the restoration potions?"
06[22:02] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sagittis. "If you think you can take cover behind me, I'm moving down the line." He pats his chest and looks at Sour_Grape. "Cybernetics help with that."
01[22:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck cleans up Peach Nectar, her coat looking much better.
06[22:02] * +Sour_Grape grins at how rich she is now. "Sweet. Thanks." She says to Sagi and Dust, "Oh yeah Sagi, ya need anymore ammo for yer kill-a-machine?"
06[22:04] * +Dust_Off nods to Sagittis.  "Yes, I'm out of restoration potions."  She bags the rest of her money and leans back.  "I think I'd like to go buy some more mechanical things.  I've taken poor Ammy's things.  I think I could do a bit of repair and improvement, if I can gets some supplies."
06[22:05] * +Sour_Grape smiles,
06[22:05] * +Slag_Heap pulls a restoration potion and two healing potions from his saddle bags. "Oh right, forgot to hand these over."
[22:05] <+Sour_Grape> "Ah can get more mechanicales supplies. Just need'a know whats ta get."
06[22:05] * +Slag_Heap "And another thing, how are you guys holding up after Ammy's passing?"
06[22:05] * +Sour_Grape looks at Slag_Heap and shrugs, "It happens."
06[22:06] * +Slag_Heap sighs and hands Sour_Grape 600 caps. "Here, quartermaster." He nods. "It does, but seeing a comrade go down can change a pony. Good to see you're not doing too bad."
06[22:07] * +Roy_Calbeck hms, pondering. "I wonder if I can alter my cleaning spell to have a scrubbing-bubble effect..." He muses to himself about expanding his magical repertoire for a good, solid hour.
06[22:08] * +Dust_Off sighs.  "I don't like losing ponies in my command. I've seen too many go...but Ammy...I don't feel her passing as heavily...like she was never there to begin with."  The mare looks worried.  "Frankly that concerns me."
06[22:08] * +Slag_Heap nods slowly. "I never really knew the mare, but she did seem to keep to herself."
06[22:09] * +Sour_Grape taks the caps from slag, "Whatever, sometime ponies in yer crew bite-it. Ain't gunna like it, but she was't much'ta me."
06[22:10] * +Sagittis nods back at Dust_Off. "I'll see if I can rustle up some more herbs to work with." He turns to Sour_Grape. "If you can get me another 80 I would have a full box, but I'm not hurting. Any upgrades to it or my new missile launcher would be nice though... as would missiles for said launcher. Oh, and another thing, if you an get me Dash, Sparkle Cola and Sugar Bombs, that would be grand. I...
06[22:10] * +Sagittis ...figure if the Legion is using its exclusivity on Rainboom to get agents, it would bloody thier noses a bit to make a local market."
06[22:10] * +Dust_Off shakes her head.  "Anyways...whaa..."  She turns to look at Sagittis and stares...
06[22:11] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sagittis. "That's... a smart move, actually." He looks at Dust_Off. "He could potentially give them small doses while someone cures them. Punch a dent in the NPL's op."
06[22:11] * +Sour_Grape stares at Sagittis, "Well, tha other stuff ah'll look inta, but tha drug market thing just smells nasty. Drug trades'a difficult business, an messy, ya know?"
06[22:12] * +Dust_Off frowns, "You know where I stand on drugs...but I'm a bit concerned and confused that being a drug dealer suddenly made tactical sense..."
06[22:15] * +Sagittis shrugs. "Caps are power. Where there is a market, there is a chance to grab power and a chance to rip it away from someone else."
06[22:15] * +Slag_Heap "Gives us an oppurtunity to shrink the market too, if we figure out a way to cure them."
01[22:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray sits at a table by her lonesome, flipping back her raven black mane, as her order is delivered to her. The jukebox next to her finishes a song involving sharing and caring. Most can agree it is possibly the worst performance they've ever heard. However, the familiar smoky and sultury voice speaking, "Way-eeeell howdy do, my beautiful darlins! This is your very own bonafide Master of Ceremonies, Desert Rose, bringing you all the latest and not-so-greatest that our beloved lil neck of the... heh sands... can bring. They say you're nopony till sumpony loves ya, but y'all dun fret none, cuz ole' Rose here loves everypony, zebra, buffalo, or beyond. Anywho, this just in, reports outta big city Dune that the attacks on the Juice Caravan company have been stopped for good. Unable ta reach head honcho Guava Juice on the matter, instead we got a rare commentary from Table Sugah of /all/ ponies in there. Who had this to say..."
06[22:17] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes, "If ya say so I'll get some ta help, but ah'm warnin' ya that drug dealin' ain't easy, an' if we start kickin' other ponies turf they'll kick back hard."
06[22:17] * +Dust_Off glances at the radio.  "Wait a second, listen, everypony."
06[22:18] * +Sour_Grape ears twitch, "Wooo. we gun be famous. 'Gain."
06[22:20] * +Slag_Heap looks at the juice box.
06[22:20] * +Slag_Heap that was totally sitting on the juke box.
01[22:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Desert Rose's voice is replaced by a strangely, suave, older stallion's voice... his tone smooth as marmalade. Sour_Grape gets an uneasy from the manner he speaks, being heavily reminded of somepony in her past as the voice speaks, "The Sugar family is vastly relieved to hear of our partner's recovery and hope that they return to their former condition in a matter of weeks. As well as we send our heartfelt condolensces to the loss of his daughter and valued associates that risk their lives bravely to bring goods to the fine ponies of the Mareizona." afterwards, Desert Rose's voice speaks back up, "Touchin'... comin from a fairly cold blooded rattler of a pony, but what do I know? I jes' bring y'all the truth in the legendary hoofsteps of DJ PON-3. Also mah lil' ponies, I'd like y'all ta steer clear of the road leading south from Dune towards Mercy, as there's sightens of nasty critters in tha nearby Gaskinville ruins. Heard rumors of Chimeras, ta cockatrices... yea right... ta even wild reports of Bloodwings! Shiieeooot, I sure do hope t'aint none o' dem winged devils 'bout! Also had a silly report from some buck that it was old legionaire ghosts that wanted ta fly to tha moon and paint it pink er somethin... but he seemed few bushels short of a bunch iff'n ya know what ah'm talkin 'bout." the sultury voiced mare chuckles.
01[22:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ( Sour_Grape gets an uneasy feeling*)
03[22:25] * TenMihara ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[22:25] * ChanServ sets mode: +o TenMihara
06[22:26] * +Sour_Grape glares over at the radio, "Who the fuck was that."
06[22:27] * +Dust_Off looks at Sour_Grape, "Table Sugar, one of Sugars.  Maybe the head of the Sugar family."
06[22:28] * +Slag_Heap has a hankering for apple juice for some reason...
06[22:28] * +Sour_Grape frowns for a second and looks away, "Don't fuckin' like his voice."
06[22:29] * +Slag_Heap scratches his side burns. "Say... anypony know what time it is?"
06[22:31] * +Sagittis glances at the radio. "Nor do I... Sour... you want to stay here, right?"
06[22:31] * +Sour_Grape frowns over at Sagittis, "What? I don't give a fuck."
01[22:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 "And that's today's news, my little ponies, to which comes to our tip of tha day. Always pack plenty of water, even if it's liable ta turn ya into a ghoulie. Even in winter it gets downright toasty in our little stretch of land and tha last thing y'all need ta do is croak of thirst. Nasty way ta die, trust me on that. And now, we got moah Sweetie Belle singing soulfully 'bout her days as a blank flank lil filly. Golly, I'd shore liked t'have seen that, she must've been a cute sight, as she sings her woes and dreams of discoverin her special talent with her friends." Not long afterwards, another familiar heavenly mare's voice sings wonderfully about being a crusader of cutie marks.
06[22:33] * +Slag_Heap rolls his shoulders. "This city would make a good base of operations. We got rep, friendly with its leaders, and its fairly safe."
12[22:33] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
01[22:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 (For* not of)
06[22:36] * +Dust_Off thinks hard.  "Glassy Flats is still a better base for us.  We can actually TRUST them.  Dune however has the most chances for caps and work."
06[22:37] * +Slag_Heap scratches his mane. "How far is Grassy Flats exactly?"
12[22:37] * Pony_92032 is now known as DotA
06[22:37] * +Sour_Grape "Thats where we met you dumbass." She says to Slag_Heap. Sour Grape is a grumpy little filly now.
01[22:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis, being an expert survivalist knows that with no sandstorms or other obstacles and nonstop, takes about three hours to traverse from Dune to Glassy Flats.
06[22:37] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Yeah, it is, but I don't remember how long it took to get here."
06[22:38] * +Sagittis glances to Slag_Heap. "It is also a cesspit of corruption and raciest scum balls. And what do you mean safe? This place is anything but safe. You even know what it took to get in here the first time?" He nods to Dust_Off. "True..." He stops and looks back at Slag_Heap. "We picked your sorry ass up there."
06[22:38] * +Sagittis "Three hours for most, about two and a half if you let me drive."
06[22:39] * +Sour_Grape blinks, "Drive?"
06[22:39] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes and looks at Sagittis. "Since when were you a parrot?" He looks to the door. "Pretty safe considering we're in with one of the leaders of this cesspit. Think anypony will want to piss off Guava by getting at us?"
06[22:40] * +Sour_Grape "Ponies destroyed his carvaans just to piss Guava off."
06[22:40] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sour_Grape. "Outside the city." He looks at Dust_Off. "Three hours... or two and a half, ain't bad for resupply runs."
06[22:42] * +Sagittis snorts. "The fucker shot his own security boss. Being /in/ with this slime is far from comforting."
06[22:43] * +Slag_Heap "We're not in. They like us, that's all we need."
06[22:44] * +Dust_Off taps her hoof on the table.  "Three hours is good for day trips to do work.  Anyways, Glassy Flats is full of good ponies who need protecting.  We've been trying to help them....dammit."  She brings her hoof down on the table.  "We need to make sure Guava gets us permanent visas to travel into and out of Dune."
06[22:44] * +Sour_Grape rests her chin on the table, "Eh, sometimes secuirty need'a be whipped inta shape. He did do a shitty job. What with the bomb'n all."
06[22:45] * +Slag_Heap looks at Dust_Off. "Does he owe us anything? From before you met me, I mean."
01[22:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis can clearly hear hoofsteps approaching him from behind.
06[22:47] * +Sagittis flips out his knife and looks behind him.
01[22:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The flufflecolt can see Pepper Spray tippy-hoofing her way towards him then stops dead in her tracks when Sagittis turns with his knife out. Blinking in surprise and worry the mare slowly gives a nervous grin, chuckling, as she speaks, "Damn... I was tryin' to see if I still had it... but seems I gotta work on my trailing... if you're wondering what I was doing, I was just trying to repay the favor is all." the mare blushes in embarrassment.
06[22:50] * +Dust_Off shakes her head. "No, he doesn't owe us anything more than those visas."  She turns to look at Pepper Spray, trying to...trial them again...and failing again.
06[22:50] * +Slag_Heap "Think he'll give us them?"
01[22:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray's trials on Dust Off would be biased.
[22:51] <+Dust_Off> ...Trail them.
06[22:51] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Pepper Spray, "Do you know who that guy on the radio was?"
01[22:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray blinks to Sour_Grape and speaks, "Of course, it was Table Sugar, head of the Sugar family. Piece of fuckin dog shit that one."
06[22:53] * +Sour_Grape narrows her eyes, "Right. Ah don't like'em."
01[22:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray smirks back to the filly replying, "Makes two of us."
06[22:54] * +Sagittis tilts his ears. "What favor?"
06[22:55] * @SilentBrony|GM turns to Sagittis and spreads her smirk a little wider, "For what you did to me at the supermarket that day. Touchin my backside like that. You're lucky you're just a colt... and cute."
01[22:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Colt Hansen slaps the GM.
01[22:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray does this...
06[22:56] * +Dust_Off blinks at Pepper Spray.
06[22:57] * +Slag_Heap blinks as well. "Heh, nice one kid."
06[22:57] * +Sour_Grape "Wat."
06[22:57] * +Sagittis snorts and goes back to his weapon.
01[23:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray chuckles and says, "Shame your too damn young colt." a voice can be heard coming from the mare's utility belt. Slag_Heap can see an old pre-war black rectangular device with a sturdy plastic atenna sticking out at the top, as the voice, a young mares, speaks, "Uhh anyone get a confirmed visual on that... group that helped out Guava?" Causing Pepper Spray to blink and answer the call, "Uhh you mean... with Peach Nectar?"
06[23:01] * +Slag_Heap looks at Pepper Spray. "Field radio... what outfit are you?"
06[23:01] * +Sour_Grape stares at pepper spray, "You're terrible at your job."
06[23:02] * +Sagittis glances back at Pepper Spray. Most incompetent agent ever. So, Juice was looking for them... He keeps his knife in his tail and wiggles into his weapon saddle.
01[23:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The voice on the box replies, "Uh yeah, you seen them Captain Spray, I got a message to give em." Pepper Spray gives a deadpan to Sour_Grape, asking, "Whatcha want me to tell her?"
06[23:02] * +Dust_Off zeroes in on the radio...so nice.  She wanted one.
06[23:03] * +Sour_Grape "We have a message? Whats tha message?"
01[23:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray tilts her head then asks on the box, "What's the message?" immediately the mare on the other end replies, "Something about a Melody or something.... is that a yes or no captain?"
06[23:07] * +Sagittis tilts his ears to Pepper Spray again. "Oh?"
01[23:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray looks at Sagittis and takes it as a yes replying on it, "Yeah, if you're sending them a message, just relay it to me." the mare on the other end replies rather happily, "Okay, Guava had payroll review Serene Melody's background and apparently she's got a sister... names, 'Sweet Melody'. From the records it says she lived in the Juice district, on the outskirts bordering the middle of town." Pepper Spray replies, "Copy, message will be relayed, thank you." then puts the box back on her belt and says with a smirk, "You're welcome."
06[23:11] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Right." He looks at the group. "Anyone want to come with to give the badnews?"
06[23:11] * +Sagittis nods to Pepper Spray and heads out without another word.
06[23:12] * +Slag_Heap sighs. "Should I go with?"
06[23:12] * +Roy_Calbeck , by this time, is probably snoozling near Peach Nectar. On the floor, if there's no other bed.
06[23:13] * +Sour_Grape gets up and goes to follow Sagittis
12[23:13] * Karina is now known as Kar-Shower
06[23:13] * +Slag_Heap steels himself and follows the kids.
06[23:14] * +Dust_Off gets up and stays behind a moment to talk to Pepper Spray, "Mister Juice was supposed to give us visas to allow us to freely travel through the city gates."
06[23:16] * +Sagittis looks over his shoulder at Slag_Heap. "Don't you have a date?"
01[23:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray nods to Dust_Off and speaks to the mare, "Word's already been passed to the visa offices at the front gate. You should get em as soon as our ponies recognize you." watching the foals leave with the bald older buck, The earth pony mare rolls her eyes, "That filly sure runs her mouth doesn't she?" after the foals are out of earshot, unable to hear her.
06[23:16] * +Slag_Heap "Not for a few hours. Even then, it can wait."
06[23:18] * +Dust_Off smiles.  "We like to say 'opinionated.'  Are there any caravans going to Glassy Flats in the near future that you know of?"
01[23:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pepper Spray shrugs and replies, "More than likely, but I'm not in charge of that. Well... I will be now that Catridge Round... uhh... got... fired."
06[23:19] * +Sagittis grumbles. "Thrills." He heads for the hospital.
01[23:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 (Cartridge Round*...)
06[23:21] * +Slag_Heap marches.
06[23:22] * +Dust_Off nods, "Alright, I'll check again later."  The pegasus mare bolts from the Tavern after the group, streaking along on a cushion of ground effect.
06[23:23] * +Sour_Grape is flying after Sagittis, because flying is cool
01[23:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off is off streaking, because those are the only two words in that post I cared to read up to that point. As she catches up with the group, minus Roy_Calbeck. Making their way through the streets of the Juice District and cutting across the center of town, the group is once more in front of the medical clinic in the Sugar District.
01[23:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck snoozes on the floor when there's a perfectly nice chair to sleep in. Silly buck. Oh well. Could've at least used a pillow.
06[23:24] * +Dust_Off arrives above the group. "Why are we going to the hospital, if this Serene Melody was near the edge of the Juice District back the other way?"
06[23:25] * +Sour_Grape shrugs her wings... which makes her fall to the ground. "I unno. Ask Stripey."
06[23:25] * +Roy_Calbeck has a nice pillow under his chin. Mmmmrrghmmm...
06[23:25] * +Slag_Heap smiles. "I was waiting to see how long it took the wonderfluff to notice."
01[23:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Who's a silly zebra... you're a silly zebra... who is? You is! Sagittis!
06[23:28] * +Sagittis looks over to Dust_Off and Sour_Grape, leering at Slag_Heap. "I was getting the body."
06[23:29] * +Slag_Heap doesn't care in the least about the leer. "Why would we be taking the body to her? Why don't we take her to the body?"
06[23:30] * +Sour_Grape stares at Sagittis, "Thats a great idea! 'Hey your sister died, here she is!'" she face hoofs, "Even better, tell her where her sisters body is."
06[23:30] * +Dust_Off thinks, "You know.  They may not have.  Dune doesn't seem...a very caring place.  Wouldn't hurt to check."
06[23:32] * +Sagittis nods. "I don't know their family's customs, so I would rather see the body was in family hooves then left to the scavengers and scum of this pit."
06[23:33] * +Slag_Heap still thinks this isn't a very logical path, but rolls his eyes and keeps walking.
06[23:34] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes, "Whatever, this just seems like a horrible idea ta me."
06[23:34] * +Dust_Off shows off her flying skills and rolls inverted over Sour_Grape and looks upside down at her.  "Why?"
06[23:35] * +Sagittis "We don't need to take her body to her sister, just somewhere safe."
06[23:37] * +Sour_Grape "Strangerd dumping her sisters body onta her door step. Seems like a shoot worth thing." She blinks at Dust_Off tricks and flaps into the air. She tries to turn upside down but somehow ends up flying sideways into a wall, "Ow."
06[23:38] * +Dust_Off smiles and rolls back over, helping Grape up.  "It's an advanced move.  You really have to adjust your flapping to hold it.  We need to start teaching you more things.  Maybe...your first maneuver."
12[23:38] * Kar-Shower is now known as Karina
02[23:38] * Keen ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[23:39] * +Sour_Grape rubs the side of her head where she hit the wall, "Mah first what now?"
01[23:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 A couple of ponies look and stare at the strange displays then continue on their ways. A couple of foals giggle and start speaking amongst themselves, their faces full of glee. Once inside the receptionist room, the same receptionist in the early morning is still there, at her desk. There is now a townspony, a mare, sitting in one of the couches, reading an old pre-war novel... well half of one. The title reads faintly, 'Wanderer's guide to the astral realm.'
06[23:43] * +Sagittis sighs and rubs his temples with his hooves.
06[23:45] * +Dust_Off glances at the novel.  Pfft...pointless drivel.  She turns back to Grape with a grin.  "A maneuver.  Pegasi have more than flight and cloud walking to them.  Our magic manifests in particular ways.  We can usually do various feats of weather or flight magic.  I started out with just my Fantastic Filly Flash."
06[23:48] * +Sour_Grape raises an eyebrow, "That the one where you blind folk with pretty lights?"
02[23:49] * Karina ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
01[23:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The receptionist mare seems occupied with something behind her desk.
06[23:52] * +Dust_Off nods.  "I gather up my strength and accelerate very, very quickly.  I slam close to the light barrier, creating the flash, and increasing my speed.  I can't break the light barrier...very few can."
06[23:53] * +Sour_Grape blinks, "Light has'a barrier? Like a magical barrier."
06[23:55] * +Sagittis moves over to the receptionist and looks over at what she is doing.
06[23:55] * +Dust_Off shrugs, "Sort of.  It's a speed barrier.  You can only go so fast before you can't accelerate and go any faster without a lot more power.  Pegasi are unique. Our magic allows us to get past the barrier.
[23:55] <+Dust_Off> ."
06[23:55] * +Slag_Heap looks around. "Well." He looks at Dust_Off. "While Sagi is checking on the body, think we should move out to her sister's and give her the news?"
06[23:56] * +Sour_Grape pauses, "Wait, we have magic? Like Smooth Jazz had?" She's putting the pretty lights of the Filly Flash, and the Mezmerizer in the same category.
01[23:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis sees the mare writting on a clipboard with a stack of older papers near her. Various clinic reports detailing and logging visitors, their conditions and such. Hearing him, the mare looks up and blinks, looking a little uneasy and speaking, "Welcome back... Did you need anything else... ummm m-more interrogation work?" to Sagittis.
06[23:59] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "What is being done with the bodies from earlier?"
Session Time: Fri Jan 04 00:00:00 2013
01[00:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The receptionist answers back to Sagittis, "We examine the cause of death with our medical staff, then attempt to see if they have a history we can trace and report to the victim's relatives or next of kin. If none suitable or no record can be found, we hold the body for a pre-determined set of time and relay our findings to the appropriate security teams to investigate if the cause of death is a murder. Afterwards we bury the body in our cemetary if it is one of our citizens."
06[00:02] * +Dust_Off glances at Slag. "We should wait."  She looks back to Grape. "Not flashy or as versatile like unicorn.  Our magic is internal and focused through flight or weather."
[00:03] <+Dust_Off> "But we don't tire out or need 'mana' reserves."
06[00:03] * +Slag_Heap "Earthponies have certain magicks too. Can't tell you what though."
06[00:03] * +Sour_Grape nods at Dust_Off but then frowns, "But flyin's hard, ah get sore when I do it."
06[00:04] * +Sagittis "I am looking for a mare who had her neck cut this morning."
06[00:06] * +Dust_Off looks at Slag_Heap as if asking him to tug her other wing. It has bells on it.  "Grape, that's your muscles. You need to build up that strength, but your magic doesn't tire independent of you."
06[00:06] * +Slag_Heap shrugs. "We do."
06[00:07] * +Slag_Heap "I've even heard stories of mules having some sort of magic. Like ground moving stuff."
06[00:08] * +Sour_Grape doesn't really understand but nods anyway, "If ya say so. Ah guess ah ain't very strong, but I'm young so it's not my fault." She streaches out her wings a little bit.
01[00:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The receptionist mare blinks and replies to Sagittis, "You mean the one you carried in here? Her body is still here, I can assure you of that..." speaking as she rummages through folders, the mare sifts through some forms until she comes to one particular piece and reads it, "... Serene Melody.. cause of death obviously was exanguination of the throat and loss of blood. We were just about to relay the bad news to her family." now looking at Sagittis through the lenses of her square rimmed glasses, the mare asks, "Did you know this pony?"
06[00:10] * +Dust_Off glares at Slag_Heap, "Mules don't have any powers."
06[00:10] * +Slag_Heap shrugs again. "That's what I thought, but I've heard errant stories about em."
06[00:12] * +Sour_Grape looks between the two, "Tha fuck?"
06[00:12] * +Dust_Off snorts.  "Lies."  She turns to Grape, "Nothing.  Insane fantasy."
06[00:13] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes, "Sounds like'a fun kinda fantasy. So ya gunna teach me tah make it rain! I wanna learn that. Lightning too?"
06[00:13] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sour_Grape. "When you learn that, I find my own Stable."
06[00:14] * +Dust_Off smiles.  "Oh. I can teach that..."
06[00:15] * +Sagittis nods. "New friend. We were going to let her sister know and wanted to be sure her body was being taken care of."
06[00:15] * +Sour_Grape grins and does a little bounce, "Awesome. Ah wanna lightning bolt someone!"
01[00:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The receptionist givesa small smile, "That's very kind of you, we're holding the body until she's here to give us the authority to bury it... or cremate it, depending on the victim's wish." speaking to Sagittis.
06[00:20] * +Sour_Grape was going to see if the body was being taken care of but got distracted by lightning!
06[00:25] * +Sagittis nods. "Thank you, ma'am." He turns back to the others. "Okay."
06[00:26] * +Sour_Grape looks back over at Sagittis, "We godd'a go?"
[00:26] <+Sour_Grape> good'a
06[00:27] * +Sagittis nods. "Yeah, we're good."
06[00:27] * +Roy_Calbeck rolls over in his sleep, cuddling the pillow.
06[00:28] * +Sour_Grape flies out the door, "Alright, lets go break'tha bad news. Also Dust is gunna teach me ta shoot lightnin' bolts from mah fuckin' eyes!"
06[00:28] * +Dust_Off looks back at Sour_Grape.  "I'm not good at it...but there is a maneuver that creates a thundercloud contrail called...unimaginatively Thundercloud Contrails."
06[00:28] * +Slag_Heap "Sounds legit." He heads for the door.
06[00:29] * +Sagittis follows, a little dully.
01[00:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Leaving the Clinic, the group heads out to the location they were described about near the bordering outskirts of the Juice district, near the town center. Lots of shoddily constructed shacks line the streets in this section, making crude and sometimes too narrow or too wide roads, until they see a fairly modest and slightly larger sized ramshackle scrap building with bits of concrete filling one corner of the shelter. A metal sign reads above the door with heavy scratchings in it to form a crude sign that reads, 'Melodies.'
06[00:33] * +Slag_Heap finds the narrow ones uncomfortable.
06[00:33] * +Slag_Heap is big
06[00:34] * +Dust_Off looks around for anything to salvage.
01[00:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off finds only one lonely piece of scrap metal in her searching. A dishelved grey earth pony with a big grey beard and wearing a baseball cap waves excitedly to her when she trots by the buck, all happy like.
06[00:41] * +Dust_Off picks up the scrap metal and nods to the odd old pony
01[00:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The older stallion looks like his day's been made when she nods back to him, giving off a big... nasty smile. Ew. Lots of missing teeth.
06[00:44] * +Sagittis sighs and is about to knock on the door when he stops, getting a knot in his stomach. What was he going to tell her?
06[00:48] * +Dust_Off blanches.
06[00:49] * +Sour_Grape shrugs off the sugly pony and stands behind Sagi
06[00:50] * +Sagittis lowers his hoof. The more he thought about it the more uncomfortable he was with what he would need to say. "I... don't think I can do this..."
01[00:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Laughing insanely, the homeless stallion stands on his hindlegs then... cartwheels down the street and around the corner... whaaat?
06[00:54] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Sagi, "Ya want me ta?"
06[00:54] * +Dust_Off blinks after the homeless pony.
06[00:54] * +Slag_Heap "I've done this speech before kid. It never gets easier."
06[00:55] * +Sagittis looks over to Sour. "What would I tell her? 'Hi. I liked your sister and if I had just followed my instincts and shot the cunt who she was killed for she would still be alive.' Or: 'Hi. Your sister was murdered and the scum responsible is getting cleaned up and taken to a much nicer place to live by our group.'"
06[00:57] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis, "I wouldn't say either of those..."
06[00:57] * +Sour_Grape says to Sagittis, "Ya couldn't have done anything without being pyschic Sagi, it ain't yer fault."
06[00:57] * +Slag_Heap "As I'm the only one with experience, want me to do it?"
06[00:59] * +Sour_Grape really doesn't understand why Sagi is so convinced that Peach Nectar is responsible for a death she knew nothing about, but oesn't broach the subject as Sagi seemed convinced and upset at the fact.
06[01:00] * +Sagittis leers at Dust_Off and Slag_Heap before looking at Sour_Grape. "No, I just needed to be smart. We knew her story wasn't on the level as soon as we talked to her. If we had shot her, or drug her ass back to her uncle then and there, this wouldn't have happened."
06[01:01] * +Dust_Off waits out the leer.
01[01:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 If you had rainboom before hoof, you would've been able to think of the appropriate solution Sagittis.
06[01:02] * +Slag_Heap pats his pockets, looking for his stogie. Oh boy, he could buy more now! Yay!
06[01:03] * +Sour_Grape doesn't really understand Sagittis's thought process, "Thats puttin' a lot on yer shoulder's Sagi. Ah know yer strong, but that's pushin' it."
06[01:05] * +Sagittis snorts. "I still can't help but feel we could have done something..."
06[01:05] * +Sour_Grape nods at Sagittis, "An if ya had wings ya could fly."
06[01:06] * +Dust_Off looks at Grape, aghast.
06[01:06] * +Sagittis "Don't have the components for that yet..."
06[01:08] * +Sour_Grape blinks at Sagittis.... "Anyway... did ya want me ta talk to her?"
06[01:08] * +Sour_Grape adds, "Ah'll put on mah polite face.
01[01:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape has the most adorable polite face. Even with that scar. yeesh. So noticable.
06[01:09] * +Dust_Off looks at the scar on Grape's face.  She needed to do something about this...
06[01:11] * +Sagittis looks up and then drops his head, defeated. "Yes please. I don't think I can face her right now. Too guilty..."
06[01:11] * +Slag_Heap totally has experience doing this.
06[01:12] * +Sour_Grape walks over to knock on the door. She also really likes her Scar.
06[01:13] * +Slag_Heap stands at attention.
01[01:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 For a while there's no answer after Sour_Grape knocks. Cautiously, the door opens a crack, revealing a small amount of a snow white face, a younger mare's voice can be heard asking out, "Yeah? What do you want?" the ruby eyes dart about from filly to colt, to pegasexy, to... ohgawdessesUgly! Just kidding, to cyberstallion.
06[01:16] * +Sour_Grape "We're sorry to interupt. Are you Sweet Melody?" She says in her most polite voice.
01[01:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Not opening the door any further the same voice replies looking... a little startled, "Uhh yeah. Who are you poni-- guys?"
06[01:18] * +Slag_Heap isn't that ugly...
06[01:18] * +Sour_Grape says very solemly, "We're really sorry, we were friends of your sister."
06[01:20] * +Sagittis nods slowly behind Sour_Grape.
01[01:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The face blinks then shuts the door again. Seconds of locks being heard turning and something slidding, the door opens fully to reveal a adolescent adult snow white earth pony mare, sporting a short curly violet ponytail mane, with pink stripes racing through it. Looking concerned, the young pretty mare asks, her beautiful voice wrought with concern, "Is... is my sister okay?" The group can see a neat and tidy modest home with some furnishings. Not much, reflecting more of a poor status, but not poverty stricken.
06[01:22] * +Sour_Grape lowers her head, "I'm so sorry. Your sister has passed away."
06[01:22] * +Slag_Heap winces ever so slightly.
01[01:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The snow white mare hangs her mouth slightly agape, moisture quickly filling her ruby eyes, as she asks with her voice breaking, "P-passed away? H-How?"
06[01:23] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "She was killed in the line'a duty."
06[01:24] * +Dust_Off looks away.
06[01:25] * +Sagittis bites his fetlock so he doesn't elaborate on the murder and betrayal.
01[01:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody chokes up and grimaces hard, backing up slowly as she shakes her head, "L-L-Line? S-She.. She was... No!.." tears begin to flow down her face, staining her cheeks, as the young mare sits down on her haunches looking down to the floor.
06[01:25] * +Slag_Heap remains at attention.
06[01:25] * +Slag_Heap has seen this too many times...
06[01:26] * +Sour_Grape chokes up. "I-i'm sorry. H-her boy... you can find at..." Whatever the hospital is called. "I'm sorry. She was a good mare."
01[01:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Continuing to flow tears, Sweet Melody lets out one loud sob, her face visibly strained as she chokes back her crying somehow. Looking up now with a mix of anger and sorrow, the young mare asks, "W-Who... k-killed h-her?"
[01:28] <+Sour_Grape> body*
06[01:30] * +Sour_Grape looks up at Sweet Melody, "A pony named Flintlock, but her was... delt with and won't bother anypony anymore."
06[01:30] * +Sagittis lowers his hoof and mumbles in zebra.
06[01:31] * +Dust_Off is surprised Grape has this level of compassion in her.
01[01:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sniffling, choking up still, the mare gets back up to her hooves and can be seen trotting over to another room. The sounds of rummaging can be heard as she comes back out wearing a very old suit of combat armor... pre-war Equestrian military grade. The ancient green combat barding is nicked and heavily scratched with an engraving on the chest in tiny letters. On her back is an equally old service rifle, though both pieces of gear well maintained. With a determined look on her face the mare's tone is now hardened and quieter as she speaks, "Thank you... for letting me know about t-this... W-W-What a-are your n-names?"
06[01:36] * +Sour_Grape "I'm Sour Grape."
06[01:38] * +Sagittis offers a fuzzy hoof. "Sagittis. Your sister was one of the only ponies here to treat me nicely."
06[01:40] * +Slag_Heap stands at attention still. "Slag Heap, ma'am." He says in a quiet voice.
01[01:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks at the fuzzy hoof for a moment then shakes it gently. Lowering it, then looking expectantly with a determined resolve at Dust_Off. Her tears constantly dripping from her cheeks.
02[01:43] * @Strobe ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.89 [Firefox 17.0.1/20121128204232])
06[01:43] * +Dust_Off steels herself and turns to face Sweet Melody.  "Dust_Off, ma'am."  She looks uncomfortable being here.
01[01:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 With that Sweet Melody sniffles and asks out tearfully with her resolved tone, "H-How d-did you c-come to k-know m-my si-sister? W-Why i-isn't G-Guava's g-g-goons here t-telling m-me?"
06[01:45] * +Sour_Grape says to her, "We were working for Guava and met her on a job. I'm not sure why his goons aren't here..."
06[01:46] * +Sagittis sighs. "He doesn't give a damn about those in his employ. We liked her..." And a Juice is why she died.
01[01:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The pretty white mare nods slightly, then looks between the four about to speak something, but stops when Sagittis talks. Turning to the flufflecolt the young mare replies bitterly in her tears, "I-I k-know. H-He d-doesn't c-care." Going wide eyed the mare blinks and asks in with her breath nearly taken from her, "J-.. Juice? W-What?"
06[01:55] * +Dust_Off glances at Sagittis.
01[01:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 With the GM derping, This is what actually follows: The pretty white mare nods slightly, then looks between the four about to speak something, but stops when Sagittis talks. Turning to the flufflecolt the young mare replies bitterly in her tears, "I-I k-know. H-He d-doesn't c-care, n-none of th-these.. p-ponies do. I- I t-told her..." cutting her speech short and shaking her head furiously, the crying mare begins to trot down the street past the group at a quickend pace, "I g-gotta s-see her bo-body."
06[01:57] * +Sour_Grape lowers her head, "We're sorry we had to bring you this news." She says at the amre trots past
06[01:58] * +Dust_Off looks after the heavily armed, grieving mare.
06[02:02] * +Sagittis stands. "She is in the clinic... We can take you there. If you like."
01[02:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks as if she's already on her way to the clinic, looking over her shoulder she replies, "Y-You c-can come, s-since y-you've t-told me a-all th-this." speaking to Sagittis, Sour_Grape, Slag_Heap, and Dust_Off.
06[02:05] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Aye, ma'am." He follows her.
06[02:06] * +Sour_Grape nods and goes to follow the mare
06[02:06] * +Sagittis nods. "This place is hardly safe for a lady on her own." Her dawning armor to go outside hammered that home.
06[02:07] * +Dust_Off blinks and looks at Sagittis.  Yes...that is totally the reason she put on armor...
01[02:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody trots with the group back to the clinic, the young mare speaking out along the way, "I-It's a h-home o-of f-false p-promises. O-Only t-the r-rich f-families g-get a-anything b-better. T-The r-rest of u-us are j-just t-tools to be used and t-thrown away... l-like m-my... s-sis-..." stopping and hanging her head down, the young mare begins to weep silently. Passerbyers barely acknowledge her presence as they go past the group.
06[02:09] * +Slag_Heap pats her on the back. "Loss is a terrible thing, ma'am."
06[02:11] * +Dust_Off frowns.
06[02:11] * +Sagittis nods slowly and the wheels in his head start turning slowly. It isn't long before those wheels are stained red. "We will need to talk when we get back to the inn, Dust."
06[02:13] * +Dust_Off nods, "Alright, Sagittis."
06[02:14] * +Sour_Grape doesn't really understand what's going on
01[02:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody rubs her eyes with a fetlock and looks over at Slag_Heap for a moment. Frowning bitterly, the mare continues her way to the clinic with the group, eventually arriving and entering into the receptionist area. The receptionist mare looks up when the group approaches and flattens her ears in sympathetic concern, knowing full well, when she saw both the grieving mare and group, what they were there for. With no further trouble, the receptionist calls in a coroner to bring them to the corpse storage section of the clinic. Once inside the cold storage section, the older stallion coroner leads the group with the surviving Melody to a wall with four rows of handles.
06[02:17] * +Sour_Grape guesses this is a better place for corpses then hanging on walls with hooks
06[02:17] * +Slag_Heap blinks. Was it something he said?
06[02:18] * +Dust_Off looks around the morgue with a shiver.
06[02:19] * +Sagittis watches and pulls the book he had found on the elder Melody's body out of his bag.
06[02:19] * +Slag_Heap has oddly enough never been in a morgue.
01[02:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The coroner approaches a row of handles and looks over with sympathy to young mare, saying to her, "This handle here will pull out her body. Take all the time you need. I am so sorry for your loss miss." The coroner having already explaining to the younger Melody how exactly her sister perished. Sweet Melody nods as the coroner stands off to the side and simply observes, with Melody turning back to face the group once more before pulling on her sister's handle. Nothing but sorrow riddled upon her beautiful face.
06[02:25] * +Dust_Off stays back near the entrance, looking very nervously at the doors that have dark, enclosed coffin like spaces in them.
06[02:25] * +Sagittis sits quietly with the book in his hooves.
06[02:25] * +Slag_Heap stands and nudges Dust_Off. "You alright?" He whispers.
06[02:26] * +Sour_Grape backs up and stands very still and respectful. Which is a little bit odd for her.
01[02:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody takes in one deep breath, before turning back and pulling on the handle, revealing the corpse of her lost sister, who lays on her side, a dingy white cloth draped over the majority of her body, even the neck is concealed. Serene looks... well... like her name. At peace with her eyes closed. Shakily The younger Melody goes to pull the sheet down but stops and grimaces utterly. Choking up loudly, as she looks the corpse over then rests her head on her sisters, weeping finally with loud tears.
06[02:29] * +Dust_Off shrugs off Slag_Heap,  "I'll be fine."  She says sharply and walks out of the room.
06[02:29] * +Slag_Heap didn't touch her. "Aye." He remains still and stands at respectful attention.
06[02:32] * +Sagittis trots over slowly and sets the book down by the two sisters. He pats Sweet Melody on the back gently before retreating to stand by Sour_Grape.
06[02:32] * +Slag_Heap did nudge her. His player forgot about that.
06[02:38] * +Dust_Off waits in the hall.  Her eyes closed, trying to not to hyperventilate.
01[02:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Choking and sobbing for a long while, the surviving Melody finally manages to stop crying... by being unable to do so. Still shuddering and sniffling, the tear-stained white mare gives her fallen sister a bittersweet kiss on the cheek saying in a ragged quiet tone, "I.. I--I l--love y-you... R-Reenie.." then turns and blinks away her tears to see her sister's journal. Picking it up reverantly with her tail... strange... Sweet Melody looks at it for a brief moment, then puts it away. Looking back to the group that was still in the room she sniffles and speaks softly to them, "T-Thank y-you... f-for... t-telling me... a-and... a-and be-being here." giving a sigh, the mare looks to the group and asks, "T-The p-ponies.. t-that g-got h-her k-killed... a-all of t-them are d-dead... r-right?"
06[02:39] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Aye ma'am. Ventilated thuroughly."
06[02:40] * +Sour_Grape nods at Sweet, "We killed the pony who did it."
06[02:41] * +Sagittis averts his gaze and cringes.
01[02:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody sniffles, looking hollow as she asks, "W-why d-did s-she d-die? W-why.. h-her?"
06[02:42] * +Sour_Grape is not even sure why, "I... don't know."
06[02:43] * +Slag_Heap doesn't know either. He shuts up. Everything he says is wrong anyway.
06[02:44] * +Sagittis "She was a good mare assigned with a bunch of traitors protecting a Legion spy and her handler." He can't look the mare in the eyes.
01[02:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody sniffles and shows signs of deep seated hatred, frowning hard as she asks out quietly, "L-Legion? The New P-Pony L-Legion?"
06[02:46] * +Sour_Grape nods at Sweet, "The very same."
06[02:48] * +Dust_Off is sitting against the wall outside.
01[02:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Going silent for a long time, the young mare says quietly, "Thanks." her stuttering finally ending as the mare begins to trot out of the room. The older coroner still present, shakes his head then closes the drawer that held his sister, turning and asking, "What of the body miss?" Stopping at the door, Sweet Melody stares at the wall, then looks over and says, "I need to bring /her/ with me. Away from this... place." her tone is full of rage and spite at the tail end of her words. The coroner blinks and replies, "If that is the deceased wishes." After those words, the stallion pulls out a clipboard with magic and begins to write on the paper on it, Sweet Melody turning back and exiting the room, going back to the receptionist area.
01[02:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 (the drawer that held HER* sister)
06[02:52] * +Sour_Grape follows after Sweet Melody and sighs. This was kind of sad.
06[02:52] * +Sagittis follows as well. "Do you have a place to go?"
01[02:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The armored young mare reaches the receptionist area, but continues to trot, going out the building and replying bitterly, "Not anymore. I'm leaving this place... taking my sister with me too." the mare's tone is hate-filled, angry, with sorrowful undertones.
06[02:54] * +Slag_Heap brings up the rear.
06[02:57] * +Sagittis canters a bit ahead of her. "I could take you to Glassy Flats. It is a nice place and growing. Please, it is the least I can do."
06[02:57] * +Dust_Off gets to her hooves and follows after the group.
06[02:58] * +Slag_Heap follows after in silence. His words are poison apparently.
01[03:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Trotting rather quickly, Sweet Melody eyes Sagittis when he overtakes her and replies, "Thanks... you... don't have to. You guys did enough as it is."
06[03:02] * +Sagittis shakes his head. He really hadn't. "It is no trouble. We are heading out in the morning anyway."
01[03:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Tear streaked and stained, the white young Melody frowns a little more and says, "I really didn't wanna stay here anymore. I just... don't care for it at all." slowing down slightly and breathing heavier the mare continues "I... I don't know exactly what I'm going to do after... after I bury her away from this place." the group is now in the center of the entire settlement. The kiosk stands nearby, time definitely passing, but nowhere near Slag_Heap's date.
06[03:08] * +Sagittis stops in front of Sweet Melody, looking at her pleadingly. "Then please let us help you... I can make the trip in about two ad a half hours, say six for round trip and settling in."
06[03:09] * +Slag_Heap "Ma'am, if I may. We were discussing earlier how Glassy Flats needs more security. You seem to have the equipment for the job. I'm not saying that's what you should do, but it is an option. The ponies there are the mirror opposite of the ones here."
06[03:10] * +Slag_Heap 's player ducks and covers.
01[03:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks over at Slag_Heap for a moment, seemingly to contemplate his words as she continues onward. "I dunno... my sister guarded ponies and it got her killed. I don't know this place like here, but I don't think working as a guard is going to work out to well for me." turning back towards the road, she quickens her pace some more, while gritting her teeth, "Plus I'm really angry..." they were now coming up on the Juice District once more.
06[03:16] * +Dust_Off follows, taking to the air above the group.
06[03:19] * +Sagittis nods. "I understand, but..." He sighs. "Would you like us to leave you alone?"
01[03:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Taking the melodrama back to her house Sweet Melody stops at her door and sighs. Turning back to the group she looks to each one and says, "I'll... go to Glassy Flats... if this place is really that nice, that's where I'll bury my sister. I don't know if I'll stay though." Turning directly to Sagittis she says, "For now yeah... I need to get my stuff, which will take me a bit. And... uhh..." grimmacing again, she closes her eyes and says, "And cry... a lot." No tears fall though as she speaks. Opening her eyes she looks at the group and says with her smile fading fast, "T-Thanks again... I sh-should've... known I could only g-get this k-kindness from str-strangers and not f-f-from anypony he-here."
06[03:24] * +Slag_Heap nods.
06[03:24] * +Sagittis nods. "Alright. We are staying at the wheel. Stop by when you are ready to  go, okay?"
06[03:24] * +Sagittis "No rush though."
06[03:25] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Take'slong as you need."
06[03:25] * +Dust_Off floats above everybody.
01[03:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody shudders slightly, nodding, and quickly turns around, opening her door and rushing inside. The group hears a series of locking sounds, then a soft sliding up against the door itself, followed by more muffled weeping. Dust_Off... might be hit with a large wave of deja vu with this experience... as No_One else looks towards the building. Either hard of hearing... or more than likely ignoring the tortured cries of a grieving young mare.
06[03:28] * +Slag_Heap sighs. "Well..." He looks at the group. "Head back to the wheel?"
06[03:28] * +Sour_Grape walks away from the door and says, "So now that we're done that, lets go get sum ammo'n shit."
06[03:30] * +Slag_Heap nods and follows Sour_Grape. "Sounds good."
06[03:31] * +Sagittis nods slowly. "I am going to rummage for herbs... Meet back at the inn?"
06[03:31] * +Slag_Heap could use one of them special herbal cigars... pity they're rare...
06[03:32] * +Sour_Grape nods at Sagittis, "Yeah sure, ya do yer thing'n stuff... actually didn't ya have somethin' ta talk bout with Dusty?"
06[03:33] * +Dust_Off looks towards the door and bites her lip.  She hadn't had a door to hide behind...
06[03:34] * +Sagittis nods and looks up at Dust_Off. "Yeah, would you like to come with me? Do some rummaging outside the city?"
06[03:38] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks awake, yawning widely, then stretches out. "Mmmyep... time to get t'work..."
06[03:43] * +Dust_Off sighs and nods.  "I could use some time away from here."
03[03:53] * Errant ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
01[03:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape goes off to purchase various items, as Slag_Heap follows. Eventually they make their way back to the Broken Carriage wheel. Dust_Off and Sagittis go outside of Dune, heading south once leaving the gates as the only viable area near the settlement to search for herbs. Time begins to pass as Roy_Calbeck administers his purge spell, overclocking Peach Nectar Juice's metabolism as she sleeps. Reawakening and looking very groggy, the mare blinks and looks over at Roy_Calbeck groaning tiredly. "Ohh... I'm... soo hungry and thirsty... W-who are you?"
01[03:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To note, Dust_Off and Sagittis retrieve their passes to the city, but the rest of the passes are withheld till each other party member personally obtains them.
06[03:55] * +Slag_Heap enters with Sour_Grape. "And THAT is how you make oatmeal."
06[03:55] * +Sour_Grape says to Slag_Heap, "So I said to me doctor, not's not me splean, thats a banana." She giggles a little bit before seriousing up, "No really, I killed him."
06[03:56] * +Roy_Calbeck gets up, stretching again, rolling back on his hooves and then forward before shaking out his neck. Having limbered up, the unicorn turns his attention to Peach, floating two water bottles and some of the cheap food he bought over to her. "Name's Roy. Here. Have a little fruit first, then water. You'll throw it up otherwise."
02[03:56] * +Dust_Off ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
07[03:56] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Errant
06[03:57] * +Slag_Heap laughs at Sour_Grape's joke. Then realising the last one wasn't a joke. "I probably should have expected that." He chuckles some more. "Anyway, thanks for the tips on trading."
01[03:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sadly, looking cute and having adorable quips will be something Slag_Heap will more than likely fail at.
06[03:58] * +Sour_Grape snorts, "You needed them."
06[03:58] * +Slag_Heap would look fucking adorable with pig tails. Pity he doesn't have a mane. He has a beard/stache though...
06[03:58] * +Slag_Heap chuckles. "Yup." He looks into the bar. "doesn't look like the others are back yet. Want to grab a drink?"
06[03:59] * +Roy_Calbeck suddenly gets a mental image of Slag_Heap with Vikean mustache braids... and shivers despite himself.
12[03:59] * Errant is now known as Dust_Off
06[03:59] * +Sour_Grape looks at Slag_Heap, "You buying? I want a beer."
06[04:00] * +Dust_Off looks ineffectually for herbs.  She's pegasus dammit.  Why would she know plants?  But she does enjoy the wide open.
06[04:00] * +Slag_Heap pffs. "I'm buying, but I'm not buying you beer."
06[04:00] * +Sour_Grape "Expresso?"
06[04:01] * +Slag_Heap thinks. "That alcoholic?"
06[04:01] * +Sour_Grape shakes her head
06[04:01] * +Dust_Off looks down at Sagittis, "What did you want to talk about?"  She quickly looks up and away.
06[04:01] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Then okay." He trots to the bar. "Its less that you're under age, but more Dusty kicking my metal ass because I gave you beer that scares me." He looks up the bar.
06[04:02] * +Sour_Grape grins. She knows full well Dust doesn't want her having expresso either. or coffe. or anything /good/.
06[04:02] * +Sagittis picks up an herb and looks it over. "This town needs some serious restructuring, wouldn't you agree?"
06[04:02] * +Slag_Heap doesn't know that.
01[04:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice quickly consumes both water bottles, nearly jamming each bottle down her throat. Which... needless to say kind of looks... suggestive. The mare then begins to dig into the food hungrily, as if she's been starving for days. Clearly not used to a severe lack of either.
01[04:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Actually Peach Nectar did what Roy_Calbeck suggested, nodding to him and eating the fruit first, /then/ consuming the water.
01[04:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The bar is being ran by some mare a green mohawk and a nose ring with chain hooked to one of her ears... she looks ridiculous. In a rough feminine voice, the unicorn mare asks Slag_Heap, "Whatcha need gramps?"
06[04:05] * +Slag_Heap "A beer and... what's an expresso?"
06[04:05] * +Dust_Off looks towards the city, "Perhaps...what are you thinking?"
01[04:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The barmare snorts and smirks, "Coffee, but stronger... ain't cheap neither. 30 Caps for a cup." looking at Slag_Heap.
06[04:07] * +Sagittis stuffs the herb in his bag. "Well, all the seats of power are filled at the moment, and we know the Sugars sponsor slavers... Get what I'm going for here?"
06[04:07] * +Roy_Calbeck waits patiently, chewing a biscuit while Peach Nectar tears through the food.
06[04:07] * +Slag_Heap blinks. "Coffee." He looks down at Sour_Grape. "Probably should give that to you either. Had a guy in my squad wired on the shit. Almost shot me three times in two minutes he was shaking so much. What else do you want?"
06[04:07] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "Aw come one! I drink it all the time, don't even effect me none."
06[04:08] * +Dust_Off lands beside the colt, "Who would you have fill the seats of power?
01[04:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar finishes consuming her meals and looks over to Roy_Calbeck questioningly for a moment. "Why... are you helpin me? I'mma waste of fuckin space."
06[04:08] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to the bathroom. "If ya gotta go, or get more water, help yerself."
06[04:08] * +Roy_Calbeck doesn't answer her question, but just waits.
06[04:09] * +Slag_Heap thinks and shakes his head. "I dunno kid... all that caffiene. I'll ask Dust_Off, if she says you can drink it, I'll let you kick me for free. How's that sound?"
06[04:09] * +Sour_Grape huffs, "Damnit."
06[04:09] * +Slag_Heap "And then I'll buy you two cups. Now, what else do you want?"
06[04:10] * +Sour_Grape "Sunrise sasprilla then." She's all pouty faced now
01[04:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar continues to look at Roy_Calbeck in a odd manner, but gets up and trots over to the bathroom and can be heard filling up one of the water bottles, then comes back and drinks it... this time... not so suggestively, as she asks again, "Why are ya helpin a muck like me?"
06[04:10] * +Slag_Heap nods. "A beer and a Sarsparilla, please. Got any snacks?"
06[04:10] * +Sagittis shrugs. "You like large spaces like their mansions and seem to enjoy giving orders like a commander. I thought you may want to. Besides, a pegasi in charge of a third of a city would surely get you some displaced flyers to flock to your banner."
06[04:11] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles. "Y'mean, why'm I helpin' somepony the Legion fucked up with chemical cocktails so she'd be on th' leash fer their dirty work?"
01[04:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The barmare rolls her eyes at Slag_Heap and says with a snide tone, "Damn gramps, talk about buzz kill. A 'spresso ain't gunna do her no bad. She looks like a tough little filly... even with pig-tails." the barmare winks to Sour_Grape, then shrugs and gets a beer and Sarsparilla, replying to the cyberstallion, "Yeah got all kinds of food, take yer pick."
06[04:12] * +Sour_Grape "See! Even the random bar lady c'n tell."
06[04:13] * +Slag_Heap looks down at Sour_Grape, then to the bar mare. "Well... you gonna tell Dusty?"
06[04:13] * +Dust_Off turns to face Sagittis with her jaw hanging open.  "Wat."  Needless to say, she is surprised.  Okay....I said it needlessly.
06[04:14] * +Sour_Grape "Now why would ah do that."
01[04:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar juice blinks then looks down sadly speaking quietly to the handsome stallion that is Roy_Calbeck, "It's my own damn fault... my uncle was right... I didn't listen to him... I fuckin chose ta take dash and the boom."
06[04:15] * +Slag_Heap narrows his eyes slightly. "Well... fine. One cup. Want a snack as well?"
06[04:16] * +Sagittis nods to Dust_Off. "What did you expect me to say? You like the leader roll and you would bring in more tactical assets than Sour would, being a child, so... yeah."
06[04:16] * +Sour_Grape grins deviously and nods, "Yea sure."
06[04:16] * +Slag_Heap nods. "What do you want?"
01[04:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The barmare replies with a rather large smirk, "I won't tell mommy." to Slag_Heap. then gets it prepared
06[04:17] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks, once, his smile unfading. "Chose Dash first. But you know how it works. Ever dealt it?"
01[04:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar shakes her head and says, "Naw, I'm a Juice girl. I was rollin in caps... plus if the Sugars found out, there'd be all kinds of shit from it."
06[04:18] * +Sour_Grape shrugs having little idea what candy is called, "I unno." She frowns at the barmare, "She ain't mah momma."
06[04:18] * +Slag_Heap "How about a sweetroll?"
01[04:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The barmare simply shrugs and says, "Alright, daddy then, whatever floats his boat."
06[04:20] * +Sour_Grape growls at the barmare then says to Slag, "Sure."
06[04:20] * +Roy_Calbeck hms, and nods. "Well, I've seen it th' other way around. There's a reason 'the first one's always free'... 'cause after that, you crave it. Don't you?"
06[04:20] * +Slag_Heap nods and orders a sweet roll.
01[04:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The barmare gets the sweet roll, giving it along with the espresso and expecting the caps required for the transaction.
06[04:21] * +Dust_Off closes her mouth and sits down.  "I..."  She starts and stops.  "I didn't expect this of you."
01[04:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice frowns slightly and rubs one of her forelegs uncomfortably as she replies to Roy_Calbeck, "Y-Yea... c-course..."
06[04:22] * +Sagittis tilts his head at Dust_Off. "Oh?"
06[04:23] * +Slag_Heap hands over the caps. "Why do I get the feeling I just sold my soul..."
06[04:23] * +Roy_Calbeck flips open his saddlebags, floating out a Dash inhaler. "If I gave you this, right now, you'd huff it. In fact, even if I put it away, your first thoughts are going to be that it wouldn't be so hard to steal. Right?"
06[04:23] * +Slag_Heap hands the espresso and sweetroll to Sour_Grape. "Enjoy." He smiles and pops the cap on his beer.
01[04:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar looks wide-eyed at the dash inhaler, her eyes starting to go to pinpricks, nodding slowly as she never takes her eyes off the chem.
06[04:24] * +Sour_Grape grins and takes her stuff over to a booth. She sips on the eXpresso and giggles. Dis gun be good.
06[04:24] * +Roy_Calbeck puts it away. "How much of what's goin' through your head right now is what you WANT, an' how much is what you NEED?"
06[04:25] * +Slag_Heap goes over and sits opposite her. "So, Sour. What do you think of my performance so far?" He pulls out his cigar and lights it.
01[04:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice opens her mouth slightly and gives a little whimper when the dash inhaler disappears. Turning to the stallion she blinks a couple of times, fidgeting noticably as she grinds her teeth back and forth, replying in a strained tone, "I... I--ai-ain't s-stupid! I know I w-want it... I dun n-need it... but... I... I can't help it."
06[04:27] * +Sour_Grape shrugs and bits in her sweet roll and replies with her mouth full, "Ya ain't dead yet."
06[04:27] * +Slag_Heap scratches his chin. "I did die once. Didn't enjoy it." He sips his beer.
01[04:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Mmmm sweetrolls were delicious.
06[04:29] * +Roy_Calbeck reaches over and gently bops Peach on the side of her muzzle, frowning. "Y'got that backwards. Your body actually DOES need it. That's why ya crave it. Wantin'... that's only another part. The one part you've actually got control over."
06[04:29] * +Dust_Off smiles a little, "I expected Green's plan, frankly."
06[04:29] * +Sour_Grape sips her expresso, "Well yer pretty lively fer bein' dead an that's more than what ah could say bout most dead folks ah've seen."
[04:30] <+Dust_Off> The pegasus gets up, "But...start our own faction?  That's new."
06[04:30] * +Slag_Heap tilts his head in thought. "Well... I thought I was dead. Then I woke up from surgery feeling a lot heavier, and fuller. Turns out, they'd welded a metal leg on to me and put machinery inside me."
01[04:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar recoils ever so slightly at the bopping and shakes her head, beginning to breathe rapidly, the mare frowns and says, "Okay yeah r-r-right.. s-so w-what-- whatcha e-even p-plannin on d-doing t-then?"
06[04:32] * +Sour_Grape "Cool." She says
06[04:34] * +Roy_Calbeck leans back, putting that warm smile back on. "I'm givin' you a free system purge. Already did one. Cleaned ya up some, let ya sleep. Picked all that up from some medical texts not so long ago." He focuses his blue eyes on the mare's. "But you're gonna need more, if you DON'T wanna stay a worthless pile. I'll help... but do you wanna be better than you are?"
06[04:35] * +Slag_Heap nods and sips his drink. "Guess so. Didn't feel cool at the time though. Felt... cold." He swigs his beer this time. "You might think miniguns are awesome, but that sure as hell changes when you're on the receiving end of one, let alone three. I was the only mass of flesh left breathing." He sighs. "They weren't my squad, but they were good soldiers..." He blinks and looks at Sour_Grape. "Sorry. Boring old pony talk. Tel
06[04:35] * +Sagittis snorts. "Give me some credit. I took one of those SPECIAL tests. I'm a borderline genius, not a cheese brain like Green." He nods to Dust_Off. "Yeah. It would force us to split our attentions a bit between Glassy Flats and here, but we may be able to use this place to funnel good ponies and resources to help Flats grow while pressuring the other two factions to do some house cleaning. You...
06[04:35] * +Sagittis ...know, before we do it for them. Fun fact, plastic explosive and neck support pillow gel feel very close."
[04:35] <+Slag_Heap> -Tell me about you. How long have you been travelling with these guys?"
01[04:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar slows her rapid breathing and blinks, quibbling her lips as she looks down to the floor with moisture coming to her eyes, "B-But... I-... I got... my c-cousin killed. A-And my u-uncle... d-disowned me. E-Even if I d-do get c-clean, what will I d-do?"
06[04:36] * +Sour_Grape shrugs, "Long enough, been through 'nough." She sips her expresso more, her eye notiscably twitching the more she drinks
06[04:36] * +Slag_Heap knew this was a bad idea... "Uh huh... any interesting tales?"
06[04:36] * +Sour_Grape looks up at Slag_Heap, "Yes, of course."
06[04:37] * +Slag_Heap "Want to tell me them?" He sips his beer.
06[04:38] * +Roy_Calbeck sits on his haunches, giving Peach Nectar a frank, open look. "Atone."
06[04:38] * +Sour_Grape "Well whaddya ya wanna know. Went some places, killed some ponies, got paid, sometimes got shot."
06[04:38] * +Slag_Heap "Anything interesting about our squad mates?"
06[04:38] * +Roy_Calbeck rolls his eyes at the ceiling. "I've said, 'do better', but that sounds so damn trite."
[04:39] <+Roy_Calbeck> *I'd've
06[04:40] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes, "What ya press gangin' me fer dirt'er what? And what else could ya possible want'ta know after tha hollow. Deepest darkest secrets laid bear right there."
01[04:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The music in the main barroom that Slag_Heap and Sour_Grape are in is fairly somber... a sad countryesque song.... but it ends and moments later is replaced by some upbeat jingle with loud trumpets going off, as the voice of three mares sing, o/' "Each morning a missionary advertises with neon signs..." o/'
01[04:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar juice just sits there awkwardly, looking at Roy_Calbeck, "So... what do I do then?"
06[04:43] * +Roy_Calbeck rolls his eyes back to the mare. "Well, you can't stay here in Dune. You know that. An' our group isn't lookin' fer new folks just now. But there's places around Dune y
06[04:43] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Ain't pressing for anything, just trying to get to know my squad mates." He leans back and swigs his beer. "How's the sweet roll?"
[04:43] <+Roy_Calbeck> 'could make yerself useful."
06[04:44] * +Sour_Grape finishes the sweet roll, "Super good, an I'm not sayin' ya can't ask, yer jus' asking vauge which is kinda strange, and ah figure if they wanted ta tell ya they'd tell ya themselves. Ain't mah job ta work as a narrator or nothin." Her hind leg starts to kick along with the music
06[04:45] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Yeah, I suppose." He finishes her beer. "So what did you do before travelling with these guys?"
01[04:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice looks at Roy_Calbeck with vast uncertainty and asks, "Uhh... wh-where? What place? Cause I've been d-damn near everywhere.."
06[04:46] * +Roy_Calbeck cocks his head curiously. "Glassy Flats, fer one."
06[04:47] * +Sour_Grape twitches a little bit and looks down at her expresso. Oh look it's all gone. "Killed loooootsa folk." She says to slag with a little grin.
01[04:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice winces and looks away towards the wall now making a rather pathetic whimper, "O-oh... uhh... y-yeah... that... p-place..."
06[04:48] * +Slag_Heap chuckles. "Yeah, you and me both. Something tells me you didn't get paid to do it though." Something crosses his mind for a second. "Oh, I'm going to need 100 caps back."
01[04:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The music from the jukebox kicks up rather quickly as it starts getting midway through the song.
06[04:48] * +Slag_Heap thinks more. "Better make that 200, just in case. I gave you 600, right?"
06[04:49] * +Sour_Grape snorts and laughs, "Just cause nobody gave ya tha money willing don't mean ah didn't get paid." She taps her forehoves on the counter, "Whaddya need that money fer.'
01[04:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 o/' "Bongo Bongo Bongo! I don't wanna leave the Colt-O, Oh a no no no noooOOooo~!"
06[04:50] * +Slag_Heap "Forgot I owed somepony, and I got plans for the night." He huffs. "So... I wonder who kills ponies but doesn't get paid. One kind of pony springs to mind, but considering I'm not dead yet, I shouldn't worry about it. Right?"
06[04:50] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head slowly. "I can get your system flushed out. That'll give you a chance to make up your own mind whatcha wanna do with your life. I can even fix ya up with a decent pistol." He pokes one hoof towards the mare. "But I don't like seein' folks fucked with. They knew ya had a habit, they fed it, they hooked ya, an' good ponies died. That's only partly your fault...
06[04:50] * +Roy_Calbeck th' rest, the Legion needs t' pay for."
06[04:51] * +Sagittis heads back to the inn then
06[04:51] * +Sour_Grape continues to tap her hooves to the music and humms to herself, "If ah wanted ya dead, you'd be dead, no foolin' there, an ah ain't all gettin watch'a implying." She bobs her head, "Ah like this song."
06[04:52] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Catchy." He waves his hoof. "Don't worry about it."
01[04:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice looks over at Roy_Calbeck and stares at him for a moment, "I--.. bu-..." the mare looks as if she wants to argue it, but relents and closes her mouth. Staring at the buck with a mix of perplexion, disbelief, and even hope. Tearing up the former Juice family mare speaks quietly, "Why... are you s-so nice...? Y--... I mean... I'm not even... your problem."
06[04:53] * +Sour_Grape giggles and continues to bob along to the tunes, "Huh, what ya say somethin?"
06[04:54] * +Slag_Heap shakes his head. "Nothin." He listens to the tunes and sits back again.
06[04:55] * +Sour_Grape continues to dance along to the tunes
06[04:55] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles slightly, not a bit forced this time. "I have this weird compulsion t' save people if they deserve it."
06[04:56] * +Slag_Heap looks around the bar as Sour_Grape dances in the booth. He looks at the clock.
01[04:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice continues to stare at Roy_Calbeck and sniffles. Shuddering and curling up in a ball on the bed."T-thats.... so... s-so... nice..." letting lose tears, the mare stares at the bed, giving off a sad frown.
06[04:59] * +Roy_Calbeck gets up, walks over, and puts a hoof on her shoulder. "Need any more food or water? Doin' okay there?"
01[05:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar goes wide-eyed and looks at the hoof. Shaking her head, as she's consumed a /lot/ already, the mare replies weakly, "N-no... I'm o-okay... just... p-please d-don't l-leave me a-alone." her gaze is upward to Roy_Calbeck's face itself.
[05:01] <+Roy_Calbeck> "I'll be right here.  Let's do another purge, then you'll need food and water again, then some more rest."
01[05:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar nods and sits upright, keeping her gaze away from the stallion, down to the floor again, as she lets tears fall.
06[05:03] * +Roy_Calbeck lowers his horn, focusing his energies on flowing into the mare's system, bypassing the natural controls for her metabolism. In with the good, out with the bad...
01[05:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Getting hungry and thirsty once more the mare's stomach grumbles very loudly causing her to wince at the aching. Peach Nectar Juice then goes over and consumes her fill of food and water once more, in the same manner she was instructed before.
06[05:05] * +Roy_Calbeck watches until she's had her fill and some time to relax. "Feelin' any better?"
01[05:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice nods slightly, then shakes her head, "I... I want... want some dash... so badly..." the mare looks over towards Roy_Calbeck's bag that she saw him put the inhaler away, beginning to show signs of severe dependancy.
06[05:08] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles, a little sadly. "I know." His horn flares to life, sending the warmth of a Sound Sleep across Peach Nectar once more.
01[05:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar blinks several times then sways and falls over on the bed, her eyes closing, signalling her sleeping once more.
06[05:09] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs deeply, then waits. It'll be another hour before he can put himself out. But using this system, hopefully he could keep the flush going until she worked through it or broke on her own stone...
01[05:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Thus we come to another end to another session. What fates will lie in store for Sweet Melody, Peach Nectar Juice, as well as our group in their continuing saga? The plans that Sagittis has, will they herald a new age of prosperity and peace for this den of vice? Or is there ulterior motives behind planting Dust Off as a position of power? Find out the answers to these questions on the next session of Star Group, Fallout Equestria!
