Star Group Session 41

[21:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ---------------------------------  STAR GROUP SESSION 41 BEGINNING ------------------------------------------ robot rock!
03[21:42] * Scorch_Mechanic[A] ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPnP ("")
01[21:43] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Returning once more to the techno-wonderous (by wasteland standards) settlement of Howti, the Mareizona Irregulars had just finished waited for their pipbucks to be cracked, as they befriended an alicorn by the name of 'Giggles'... upon which it seems she was quite a childish nuisance... being used as part of a bargin to recieve a nice discount... with no small measure of effort on Sour_Grape's part. A heart-warming scene followed between Dust_Off and the newly aquired alicorn who seems simply thrilled just to have friends. We shall see exacly what is to become of their efforts, as now they will have new toys to use in their upcoming trials.
01[21:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group finds themselves once more infront of 'Circumference Corner', all members standing outside with Giggles, as the appropriate time has passed, currently the party stands on 'Main Street'. A Mr. Hoofy floats out carrying a pipbuck in two of it's many appendages, giving both to Dust_Off, as it speaks in an eloquent voice, "There you are, miss. Your pipbucks have been successfully cracked, though as stated by sir Gradient, all past information has been wiped clean. Should you require detail in how to operate your sophisticated arcano-tech devices, please feel free to inquire upon the matter."
06[21:47] * +Dust_Off looks at the robot, "He has to fit them.  Who does he think he's trying to fool?"
06[21:47] * +Sour_Grape looks over at the Mr. Hoofy nad the pipbucks. She really wanted one because they were shiny.
06[21:48] * +Roy_Calbeck peers over at HIS PipBuck. "I'd like t'get mine fitted right now, thanks."
01[21:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Mr. Hoofy replies matter-of-factly to Dust_Off, "Fitting is quite simple, lest you attempt to don it upon a foal, which can be done, however one must adjust the strap accordingly, applying the appropriate settings. Upon whom, do you wish for these on?"
06[21:49] * +Sagittis keeps an eye on Dust_Off and Giggles before glancing over to Sour_Grape and the robot. "So, we have two. Who gets them?"
06[21:50] * +Roy_Calbeck holds out his left foreleg. "Right there'll be nice."
01[21:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks at the robot from Dust_Off then at the pipbucks, her eyes going wider and wider in fascination at the shiny cased devices that read in green lines, 'AWAITING HOST RECIPIENT'. The stunningly beautiful alicorn mare lets out a childish, "OoooOooo..."
06[21:52] * +Sour_Grape looks up at gigglings, "You don't get one."
01[21:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles frowny faces to Sour_Grape saying, "But it's shiny!"
06[21:53] * +Roy_Calbeck peers sideways at Giggles, then quickly steps forward to stick said foreleg into the one he recognizes as his own.
06[21:54] * +Sour_Grape "If /ah/ dont get one, ya certainly don't get one."
06[21:55] * +Dust_Off takes the PipBuck, "Roy and I have carried them forever.  We get them."  She carries hers back towards the shop, "We are marexists here...if we are my needs  and abilities exceed yours, comrades."
[21:55] <+Dust_Off> *We aren't marexists.
[21:55] <+Roy_Calbeck> "All I know is, I cut one off a dead pony an' that one's mine."
01[21:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Mr. Hoofy pulls the pipbuck back from Roy_Calbeck for a moment until it hears Dust_Off speak about him recieving one. Upon which it slips one on Dust_Off's foreleg, whichever she favored, then does the same to Roy_Calbeck, one of it's appendages pulling out a strange slender metallic rod... about as big as a pen with a strange auger type rotor on the end that lit up green. Inserting the rotor into a specialized hole on the device, causes it to spin and rotate, then a faint whirring is heard with the pipbucks reading out, 'CALIBRATING, PLEASE WAIT...'
06[21:58] * +Roy_Calbeck whistles idly.
06[21:58] * +Sour_Grape pouts
06[21:58] * +Sagittis frowns as they are just claimed and his question is unanwered. "I'm going to see what I can find about legion activity in the area. If you are up for it, Sour, would you sell the Legion team loot other than the armor please?" He heads off to the local security hub.
06[21:58] * +Dust_Off actually waits lest she gets a auger in an inappropriate place.
06[21:59] * +Sour_Grape looks as Sagittis walks away, "Sure but ah was gunna ask the group a question Mr. Imtoocooltowaitpants"
06[22:01] * +Sagittis stops and looks back to Sour_Grape. "Alright, I'll wait for your question."
06[22:02] * +Sour_Grape snickers, "Ah think ya'll like it too. Imma wait till Dusty'n'Roy are done making me feel jealous though."
01[22:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles also pouts as well. It doesn't take long for the pipbucks to read off a data list on each pony that recieved the pipbucks, reading out, 'PEGASUS, FEMALE. VITALS: NOMINAL, TRACE AMOUTNS OF RADIATION DETECTED, NON-THREATENING.' it then lists 6. then reads, 'INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SPELL CALIBRATED AND FUNCTIONING. WARNING. DETECTING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF MANESPRAY, ADVISE LOWERING AMOUNT TO AVOID POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARDS.'
06[22:02] * +Roy_Calbeck watches the process as the PipBuck gets screwed on. It might have to come off at one point, and he doesn't want to have to do it to himself the way he did to its previous owner.
06[22:04] * +Roy_Calbeck chuckles at Sour's comment. "We'll keep an eye out fer more. Can't have our Turret Hat Filly left out. Although I shudder t'think how much more effective Saggitis'll be with one."
06[22:04] * +Dust_Off gasps in shock, "You defective gadget!  This is not manespray...or too much of it!"
06[22:05] * +Roy_Calbeck snifsnifs at the air. "An' here I jus' thought you'd been having a bad reaction t' that last meal back in Dune..."
01[22:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 On Roy_Calbeck's it reads summarily the same thing albiet for him it reads out, 'UNICORN, MALE, VITALS: NOMINAL. DETECTING TRACE AMOUNTS OF RADIATION, NON-THREATENING.' it then lists 18, then reads further, 'INVENTORY MANAGE SPELL CALIBRATED. PLEASE REGISTER NAME.' To both ponies surprise, they see strange green tinted lines light up in their eyes... displaying strange information... such as Health in the lower left corner, as well as E.F.S. at the bottom of their vision... including a bunch of green lines along with it... they notice one of the green lines lines up perfectly with each other's positions as well as the robots.
06[22:07] * +Roy_Calbeck lifts the PipBuck to his muzzle and says, "Sergeant Roy Calbeck."
01[22:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Also to note, another function reads up on both of their fields of vision that reads in the upper right hand corner, "S.A.T.S. SUCCESSFULLY LOADED."
06[22:08] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around, blinking. "Wow. I'd HEARD a lot about this things, but this is really damn impressive. Equestrian tech was definitely on a high line."
[22:08] <+Roy_Calbeck> *this = these
06[22:09] * +Dust_Off glances around, looking at the EFS.  "My name is Dust_Off."
06[22:09] * +Dust_Off waits a moment for the PipBuck to process, "Yes, they are remarkable."
01[22:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles decides to stick with Dust_Off and Roy_Calbeck, along with Slag Heap who gives a low whistle of impression at the devices, speaking, "I remember hearing about those things... too bad I could never get one for myself." The pipbucks each log in the names of their respective owners, acknowledging such with a reading, 'SEARGENT ROY_CALBECK REGISTERED'. 'MY NAME IS DUST OFF REGISTERED.'
06[22:12] * +Dust_Off facehoofs, "Oh for...I'm getting too old for this shit."
01[22:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> Sergeant*
03[22:16] * Hobo ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
01[22:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Mr. Hoofy extends it's sensory eye forward towards Dust_Off then pulls it back speaking, "Mistress, we detected elevated tones of distortion in your voice, indicitive of frustration. If you wish, you are able to re-register your name at any given time, just access the settings, allowing you to customize your interface display as well to various colors."
07[22:17] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Hobo
12[22:17] * Hobo is now known as Slag_Heap
06[22:17] * +Sour_Grape taps her hoof, "You two done yet?
06[22:19] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "I'm good."
06[22:19] * +Dust_Off sighs, "Thank you, very much."  She nods to Grape, "I'm done."  She pages over to the setting and corrects her name, whispering "Windy" into gadget on her left leg.
06[22:20] * +Roy_Calbeck perks an ear Dustywards. "...didn't catch that, ma'am?"
06[22:21] * +Sour_Grape "Good!" She looks between the group, "So thems some weapon mods at tha store, but they're expensive, should we get them, they are..." She states them because i can't remember
06[22:21] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Could use the extended mags."
01[22:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The pipbuck reads out on the display, as well as in Dust_Off's field of vision in the upper right hand corner, 'WINDY REGISTERED'. If perusing through their settings, they see the pipbuck lists out a condition, showing their limbs with percentiles, including horns or wings for their respective owners.
06[22:23] * +Sagittis bounces over to Sour_Grape Pinkie style. "Recoil compensator! Recoil compensator! Recoil compensator! Want!" He stops just in front of Sour_Grape, still bouncing.
01[22:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles sees Sagittis' bouncing and smiles happily, joining the colt by bouncing up and down next to him, parroting him, "Recoil compen-- compa--... errr..." she stops trying to figure out the word.
06[22:25] * +Roy_Calbeck watches the alicorn mare bouncing, bouncing, bouncing...
06[22:25] * +Dust_Off glances at Roy_Calbeck, "Because I didn't cast it out, Sergeant."   She nods at the features and  looks at the three...well two and honorary foal, "Compensators, Giggles."
01[22:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Mr. Hoofy speaks up, "Should you require any further services we shall be in this location, business hours are 8 in the morning till 8 in the evening. Please have a pleasant day." it then floats back inside the store.
01[22:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles blinks and looks at Dust_Off, speaking out with strain, "Companysaters..."
06[22:28] * +Dust_Off , with great pleasure, looks a her NEW clock on her NEW pipbuck.  She grins "Com-pen-sate-ors."
01[22:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles tilts her head, scrunching her face in a fairly adorable manner as she repeats Dust_Off, "Com-pen-sate-ors..." then looks at her expectantly.
06[22:30] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes at giggles, ":Close enough." She looks back at Dust, "It's 940 caps for the compensator, and sevenhunded for the extended mags. Ah could bargin them down though, but its steep'n shit."
06[22:32] * +Dust_Off looks up at Grape and Sagittis, "How much will these help?"
06[22:33] * +Sour_Grape wing shrugs, "Beats the piss outta me."
06[22:33] * +Sagittis keeps bouncing and looks to Dust_Off. "You know how my aim goes all over the place with my minigun? This will cut that by about two thirds."
06[22:34] * +Slag_Heap "And the extended mags is pretty self explanitory."
06[22:35] * +Sour_Grape "When was the last time ya hadda reload in the middle of a fight Slag?"
01[22:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles continues to speak quietly, but audibly outloud, "Com-pen-sate-ors.... Comp-en-sate-ors... Compen...sators.... Compensators...." she then blinks and grins wide, speaking out loudly, "Compensators!" the purple alicorn mare then bounces agains along with Sagittis speaking repeatedly in a loud tone, "Compensators! Compensators! Compensators! Compensators! Compen..." it doesn't seem like she's going to stop any time soon... a couple passerbyer townsponies groan and cover their ears.
06[22:36] * +Slag_Heap shrugs. "Not recently, but you never know."
06[22:36] * +Dust_Off nods her head to keep Sagittis in view.  "Alright then, should save on ammunition."  She winces and looks up at Giggles.   "Sweetie, please stop.  You mustn't be too loud."
06[22:37] * +Sour_Grape "Compensator is a go, an tha extended mags? Personally seems like a waste cause Slag never hassa reload fore everythin is dead."
[22:38] <+Slag_Heap> "Reloading's a bitch with a saddle. She does have a point though. Aint seen anything yet that needed over a hundred bullets injected at high force into it."
01[22:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles stops, but continues to bounce, smiling to Dust_Off and replying with excitement, though much lower in volume, "Okay!" she then begins to bounce about around the party quietly repeating over and over, "Compensators. Compensators. Compensators..."
06[22:39] * +Dust_Off looks at the others, "Yes, but we are headed into a war zone."
06[22:41] * +Sagittis "Yay." He stops bouncing and scoops Sour_Grape up into a quick, but tight hug and sets her down.
01[22:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 D'aww...
06[22:41] * +Sour_Grape sqeuaks and flails at the hug, "Ohgawdwhat." She sits down when she is let go, "Weeeird." Then she looks back at Dust_Off, "Well, am ah buyin' it then?"
01[22:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 For some weird reason, Dust_Off's pipbuck inexplicibly reads out, 'SET PHASERS TO HUG.'
01[22:43] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off then sees in her status reading the derpy face of a pony with a "..." next to it.
06[22:44] * +Dust_Off nods, "Buy them, and while..."  She looks down at her pipbuck and shakes it.  "Defective thing....could you also buy maybe twenty-eight Micro-Sparkle cells if you can get them?"
06[22:45] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Right, an' ah'll sell the armour'n shot we don't need while I'm at it."
[22:45] <+Sour_Grape> shit*
06[22:45] * +Roy_Calbeck takes an experimental look at Dust_Off, wondering how her tag comes up in Eyes Forward Sparkle.
06[22:46] * +Dust_Off nods, "Exactly, Grape."
01[22:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck's tag reads, 'Windy'... for some reason... what?
[22:47] <+Roy_Calbeck> "...Windy?"
06[22:47] * +Roy_Calbeck sounds puzzled.
06[22:48] * +Sour_Grape ignores Roy being weird, "Alright, give all tha shit ya need to sell ta Slag."
06[22:49] * +Roy_Calbeck taptaps the screen of his PipBuck lightly. "That can't be right."
06[22:50] * +Sagittis looks down to Sour_Grape. "If you don't mind, I would like to keep at least one of the armor suits and if they have AP 5mm that would be grand for Enclave armor."
06[22:50] * +Sour_Grape "Alright... we only have so many caps, but ah'll do what ah can."
06[22:52] * +Sagittis holds up a hoof and passes Sour_Grape a bag of 1000 caps. "This should help."
01[22:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 zomg. teh zeebs has been holding out! What is this heresy?!
06[22:53] * +Sour_Grape takes the caps, "Yeah, that will."
06[22:53] * +Dust_Off blanches.  "Wat!"  She spins on Roy.  "You were dropping eaves!"
06[22:54] * +Sour_Grape assumes everyone gave the selling stuff to slag then?
01[22:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles seems to have grown bored of her bouncing and repeating the same word she learned from Sagittis, as she trots over to the group again and says in a tone that matches her words, "I'm bored."
06[22:56] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks and takes a step back? "Huh?"
06[22:57] * +Sagittis takes keeping stocked in food and water as his responsibility, so he keeps a small stash on his own. He looks over to Goggles. "Do you like plants and candy?"
06[22:57] * +Roy_Calbeck erases the top part of that first question mark, leaving a period, and checking to make sure Dusty is not on it.
01[22:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles perks up with a smile to Sagittis nodding excitedly, "I like candy and plants! Especially the crunchy brown fruit stuff that I found outside!"
06[23:00] * +Dust_Off narrows he eyes, "You said 'Windy', you were eavesdropping!"
06[23:00] * +Sagittis smiles to Giggles. "Wonderful. Have you ever had a job before? Because I have one for you."
06[23:01] * +Roy_Calbeck puts on his shades... the ones that say "Deal With It" on the side. "That's how yer tag shows up in th' PipBuck."
06[23:01] * +Sour_Grape has been given nothing to sell, and thus will sell nothing.
06[23:02] * +Dust_Off blanches again.  "...damn."   She goes back into her menus and correct the name again to "Dust_Off."
06[23:03] * +Roy_Calbeck has nothing to sell, and so has presented nothing. Kismet!
06[23:04] * +Dust_Off still wants a hula hoop!
06[23:04] * +Roy_Calbeck sidles up to Dust_Off as she's doing that, tucking his head in low to hers. The unicorn whispers, "...Windy?"
[23:04] <+Dust_Off> Actually, she wants those 28 Micro Sparkle cells she asked for.
06[23:05] * +Dust_Off glares at Roy, who is now uncomfortably close.  "That's personal, Sergeant.  I didn't know this thing would broadcast user name."
01[23:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles shakes her head with exaggeration to Sagittis, "Nope!"
01[23:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The pipbuck re-re-register's Dust_Off's name as 'Dust Off'
01[23:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Summarily, as Dust_Off's E.F.S. reads Roy_Calbeck, it reads, 'Sergeant Roy Calbeck'.
06[23:11] * +Dust_Off glances at the others and then around the area so see how well the EFS works for tagging."
06[23:12] * +Sour_Grape goes and sells the following items: .357 Repeater Rifle 43%, 2 Varmint Rifles 52% 56%, 3 Legion armor 63% 34% 28%, Helms 70% 44% 64%, buying both mods, and 38 micro sparkle armour. also checking on 5mm AP
01[23:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off reads Sour_Grape as 'Raider Filly' just kidding! It reads her name, same with the other members of her party. Giggles registers as Giggles.
06[23:14] * +Sour_Grape also sells machete 68%
06[23:16] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to Dust_Off. "Got it, Cap'n."
06[23:16] * +Dust_Off looks at the tags and the goes back into her system and re-re-re-registers as 'Maria Francesca Banana Fana Fo Fesco Me My Mo Mesca IIi."
[23:16] <+Dust_Off> *III
01[23:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Surge Protector smiles as Sour_Grape re-enters her shop. telling the filly the list of prices per item she was selling: 52% varmint rifle at 82 caps, the 56% varmint rifle at 88 Caps. The .357 repeater rifle at 119 caps. The legion armors 63% at 299 caps, the 34% one at 161 caps, the 28% at 132 caps, the legion helms, 70% at 138 caps, the 44% at 87 caps, and the 64% at 129 caps.
06[23:18] * +Sagittis waves Giggles over to him and pulls out one Red, one Green and one Blue herb. "You see these herbs? I use these to make potions and fireworks. As you don't want to fight, how about you look around for these? Whenever I come to town, I will give you a candy bar for each one of these you find for me."
06[23:18] * +Roy_Calbeck fiddles around with his PipBuck, checking out the various menus and mapping capabilities.
06[23:21] * +Sour_Grape sees the result of the selling is 1235 and tries to up it to 1400 with a barter check
06[23:21] * +Dust_Off follows with Giggles to listen to Saggitis's proposal.
02[23:21] * +Slag_Heap ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
01[23:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Surge Protector, being the helpful mare that she is, lists to the filly that at the current prices it's a 1235 cap profit for selling her wares. To purchase the Compensator is 942 caps, each micro sparkle cell will cost 3 caps a piece and the LMG add on will cost 742 caps. The total cost for her desired purchase would be 1798 caps. If she were to barter the items she's selling versus what she wishes to purchase she would still owe a total of 563 caps.
01[23:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles tilts her head to Sagittis and stares intently at the herbs... studying each... or so one is led to believe. Turning to Sagittis she asks, "What do I get if I find those funny smelling plants?"
01[23:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Surge Protector nods in agreement to Sour_Grape's suggested raise for the deal for 1400 caps. Now if she agrees, she would still owe the merchant 398 caps.
06[23:25] * +Sagittis blinks at Giggles and repeats himself. "One candy bar for one herb. On top of that, I will cook you dinner if you find at least 15."
01[23:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles derps and then giggles. She then asks, "What kind of dinner? Will it be Sugar bombs?! I /loooooove/ the frosted sugar ones!"
06[23:28] * +Dust_Off frowns at the idea of Giggle on a sugar high.
06[23:28] * +Sour_Grape agrees and gives the 398
06[23:28] * +Roy_Calbeck pricks up his ears and looks up from his Pipbuck screen to glance at Giggles.
01[23:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck reads on his E.F.S. 'Giggles.' She shows up as a green bar.
06[23:29] * +Roy_Calbeck rustles around in his saddlebags, eventually coming up with a box of Caramel Sugar Bombs. "Like these?"
06[23:30] * +Sagittis nods to Giggles. "I can do something with Sugar bombs, but I think you will like my home cooking even better if you want to give it a try."
06[23:31] * +Sour_Grape also inquires about 5mm AP ammo for sagi
01[23:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles turns to Roy_Calbeck then goes wide-eyed, saying, "OooOoOoO!" her eyes... couldn't be possibly wider, as flashes right infront of the handsome stallion, using her telekinesis to snatch the box from his grasp and eye it appraisingly... she doesn't even respond to Sagittis until he speaks about Sugar bombs himself, turning to look at him, "Ooo really? Okay!"
[23:32] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Hey!" The unicorn lunges to grab the box back!
03[23:32] * Hobo ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
12[23:33] * Hobo is now known as Slag_Heap
01[23:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Surge Protector informs Sour_Grape she only has Forty one 5mm AP rounds and they'd cost 4 caps a piece.
06[23:34] * +Sour_Grape pays the base 164 price because reasons, "THanks fer ya business!"
06[23:34] * +Sagittis smiles to Giggles. "Then we have a deal. Now, please give Roy his treat back. That is his. You have not bought or been given it, so that is stealing and only bad ponies steal."
06[23:35] * +Roy_Calbeck hummefehs. "I was GOING to make it a gift."
01[23:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck easily takes the box back from Giggles as she's distracted, turning back to Roy_Calbeck and frowning saying childishly, "But I want it!" She then stomps her hooves and glares at the stallion. Surge Protector smiles happily to Sour_Grape, giving her the ammunition and asking, "Will there be anything else you need today? Because you know, even if you don't need it today, you could need it tomorrow, or the next day, or even next Tuesday! I... err sorry.."
06[23:37] * +Sour_Grape "We're clear till next tuesday, ah think, seeya later!" SHe waves and heads back to the group and distributes the goods
06[23:37] * +Dust_Off frowns quite sternly at Giggles, "We may want many things in like, but you cannot just take things from  good ponies."
01[23:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles frowny faces towards Dust_Off then huffs and says, "Fiiiine...." she then kicks at the asphalt immaturely.
06[23:39] * +Roy_Calbeck peers at the box of sugary-sweet caramel-coated cereal, then at the alicorn. "But if you're nice, and a pony likes you, they might just give it anyways." He floats the box over to the alicorn.
06[23:40] * +Dust_Off smiles at Roy and goes back to fiddling with her PipBuck.  She accesses the radio section.
06[23:41] * +Sour_Grape nudges sagi when she gives him the mod, "Ah didn't need yer caps anyway, ya want'em back"
06[23:42] * +Sagittis takes the mod and caps with his front legs and gives Sour_Grape another hug with his long tail. "Thanks. I'll need to get this installed right away."
01[23:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck and Dust_Off notice on their pipbuck that reads, 'Data'. Accessing it reads out a surprising list of strange objectives and the alike that are mainly darkened... reading to their... confusion and possibly bewilderment their past accomplishments and deeds, with odd titles affixed to them. For example, one darkened text reads in title, 'DOWN, BUT NOT OUT' it reading as string of objectives following it: 'Investigate the wrecked caravan site as instructed by Guava Juice.' with a filled box, possibly indicating that the objective was met.' There is a lit up title that reads, 'BEGGING FOR MERCY' with the only objective listed as: 'Give aid to Mercy however you can.' with an unfilled box next to it.
06[23:44] * +Sour_Grape is confused with the hug and awkwardly hugs back, "Yeah, don't mention it..."
06[23:46] * +Dust_Off looks over the objective list, taking her 28 MS cells from Sour_Grape.  She scrolls down to see if there's any mention of Glassy Flats."
01[23:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks between Roy_Calbeck and Dust_Off then flattens her ears looking ashamed and mumbling outloud, "Okay...." then crosses one of her forelegs with the other, rubbing the fetlock against it, as she keeps her head hung low. When Dust_Off accesses the Radio section, it initally reads out, 'LOADING. RADIO SIGNALS FOUND: 'Mareizona Music Central', 'Mareizona Airborne Airwaves' as well as 'Radio Desert Rose.'
06[23:47] * +Sour_Grape "So we headin' down'ta mercy or tryin' get those air conditioner thingers?"
07[23:47] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Slag_Heap
01[23:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off reads a title that reads, 'CONDITIONED FOR GROWTH' with the objective that reads, 'Aquire cooling units for Glassy Flat's greenhouses'.
06[23:48] * +Sagittis looks down to Sour_Grape. "Well, Dust knows what we need. How about you and I go see the guards and get some intel on what we will need to deal with and how to get to Mercy unmolested from here while she gets the parts she needs?"
06[23:49] * +Sour_Grape nods at Sagittis, "Alrighty, but ah feel if ah ain't here ta whip tha others they never get sheit done."
01[23:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Previous title reads on that are darkened, 'ALLS WAR IS HELL' as well as 'STINGING THE SCORPIONS', 'JACKING CARRIAGE JACK' as well as 'BLISTERING SANDS'. There is a lit up title near those titles that reads, 'DESERT SNOW'.
06[23:50] * +Roy_Calbeck nudges Giggles with the box of cereal. "There ya go. A gift. 'Cause I like you."
06[23:50] * +Dust_Off looks up from her PipBuck. "Apparently, we should."  She nods to Sagittis, "Brilliant idea.  Let's split up, gang!"  She selects "DESERT SNOW."
06[23:52] * +Sagittis ponders at Sour_Grape's statement. "Reasonable point. You want to stick with the AC group?" He seems to think that Dust_Off needs an Ascot and must play the Scooby Do theme.
06[23:52] * +Sour_Grape "Nah, I'll go with you. I'll just prepare mah dirty looks jus'n case."
01[23:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 When Dust_Off selects the option it reads up in the objective, 'Given from the notes of your aquired diary, investigate the rumors of snow near the Blasted Sands.' Giggles blinks and looks at Roy_Calbeck saying, "Really? You mean it? I can just have it?" tilting her head, her flowing silver mane, sparkling and wafting in a non-existant breeze.
06[23:54] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles at the alicorn. "Only because I like you and I feel like giving you a gift."
06[23:54] * +Sagittis smiles to Sour_Grape and kneels down. "Want a ride?"
01[23:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles gives a squealing of delight, holding out a hoof expectantly as she responds to Roy_Calbeck in an ethusiastic tone, "Oh cool! Thank you Mr. old pony!"
06[23:56] * +Sour_Grape blushes and looks away from sagi, "Nah it ain't far ah c'n walk."
06[23:56] * +Dust_Off snorts, "Interesting."  She looks around, wishing for an ascot.  She makes for Gradient's shop signing a little melody.  "Doo be doo be doo, where are you? We've got some work to do now."  She looks back and snickers at Roy being called old.
06[23:56] * +Roy_Calbeck coughs into a hoof, his box already floating in front of the silly alicorn. "Call me Roy."
01[23:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles takes the box of sugar bombs, shoving a hoof-full into her mouth and looking at Roy_Calbeck with child-like glee, speaking while smacking her lips, "Shank you Mishtuh Roy!" Re-entering the shop, Dust_Off sees old pony Gradient hunched over behind his counter, though his withers can still be seen as he mumbles out loud in frustration, "Who's got my rusty horseshoe..."
06[23:59] * +Sagittis shrugs and heads over. "Okay then. To the security folks who forgot to make me take my guns off. Best guards ever."
06[23:59] * +Dust_Off clears her throat as she walks into the shop,  "Mister Gradient?  Do you have a moment?"
Session Time: Fri Mar 15 00:00:00 2013
06[00:00] * +Sour_Grape follows after Sagittis and giggles, "Cause if ya tried shootin' ya'd get gang beat within' fuckin' seconds."
06[00:02] * +Sagittis shrugs. "Maybe. Though I doubt it if I had a flying shotgun providing cover fire."
06[00:02] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles again, then turns his attention back to the PipBuck, wading through all the Data sections and getting caught up on things.
06[00:03] * +Sour_Grape giggles, "Well that 'pends mostly on how much ya d'serve ta be shot. So don't go pickin' fights."
01[00:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis and Sour_Grape see further down the road, quite close to the large official looking building at the end of 'Main Street' another fairly large building with large scrap metal supports holding at the foundation of the structure with a faded old pre-war sign that reads, "ne Library" but over it another sign that reads, 'Howti Guard barracks'.
01[00:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Old Pony Gradient looks up and blinks a few times to Dust_Off then smiles speaking, "Back so soon? How you holdin up with your new toys now workin properly for ya?" tilting his head he asks, "It isn't giving you problems is it?"
01[00:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck can see much of the same that Dust_Off read, seeing quite a few titles darkened, such as, 'OUT OF THE FRYING PAN', 'THE DUSTY TRAIL', 'SIX-LEGGED FREAKS', last of which reading, 'UPON EVE OF THE HOLLOW'.
06[00:07] * +Dust_Off smiles, "It seems to be a little weird, but I'll get used to it.  i was wondering if you have any air conditioning units or could repair any we found."
06[00:07] * +Sagittis heads to the door and looks down to Sour_Grape with a smirk. "Fair enough. How about this? I let you pick the fights and I'll stand here being smart and intimidating?" He looks up at the sign. "Oooooh Library."
01[00:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Gradient sighs and taps the large machine that Giggles successfully fried with a hoof speaking, "This was the only operational one I had... problem is... it's parts are quite rare, this unit was found in a collapsed manufacturing plant in Hellfire City." shaking his head he adds, "I /really/ don't suggest going there, unless you're foolish."
06[00:09] * +Roy_Calbeck shivers slightly, remembering that particular snafu, then checks out the Radio section. "Hmmmm. 'Radio Desert Rose' sounds good." He clicks that option.
06[00:10] * +Sour_Grape looks at the sign too, "A... thats the fuckin' thing what with the books, right?"
01[00:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck can hear swinging music playing, a stallions voice that sings outloud in a lively tune, "HEY EVERYPONY, GATHER ROUND, HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE NEWS OF OLD BUTCHER PETE?! OLD PETE JUST FLEW IN TOWN AND HE'S CHOPPIN UP ALL THE MARES MEAT! chorus: He's hackin, he's whackin, he's slashin!..."
06[00:12] * +Roy_Calbeck bobs his head back and forth, tapping a hoof. "Love that old-time swing..."
01[00:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles begins to bob her head, speaking up with another mouthful of sugar bombs, whilst her lips are caked with frosting and crumbled bits of food, "Ooo I life vat!" dropping her box inexplicibly, the alicorn stands up and begins to dance... crazily about in place... shaking her shapely backside back and forth as she swallows her food, giving off a large smile.
06[00:15] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks in surprise at the sudden display of alicornly vigor. He sits down on his rump and just watches as Giggles goes through her paces.
06[00:15] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Yeah. I'm sure it has some comics too. You seem like the type who would like Sword Mares."
01[00:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles sways about like... well... a foal dancing excitedly... no rhythm or structure... just... moving about in disjointed, crazy motions, as she seems to hone in on the music and sing out... completely out of tune and, the words completely wrong with the radio, "HE'S TAPPING! HE'S FLACKING! HE'S SASHIN! HE'S TAP! FLACK! JUMPIN THOSE PLEATS!" a patrolling securapony turns and stares at the loud alicorn.
06[00:19] * +Sour_Grape nods at Sagittis, "Yeah ah have a sword mare comic... Dusty read it to me... but ain't we gotta job'a do?"
06[00:20] * +Sagittis shrugs. "Yeah, I just like to multi task." He thumps on the door of the Guard house.
06[00:21] * +Dust_Off frowns at Gradient, "Ah, well, if you come across any, Glassy Flats would be interested in buying working units for their agriculture."
06[00:21] * +Roy_Calbeck chuckles and pitches in, with the RIGHT lyrics, singing along.
06[00:22] * +Roy_Calbeck keeps his voice to a more reasonable decibel level, though.
01[00:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Guard house is thumped, illiciting no response initally. When Sagittis goes to tap again, the door opens with an older mare wearing similar armor to Databyte eyeing the flufflecolt strangely and replying, "The door is unlocked at all times. But we appreciate the courtesy." Smirking, she then asks, "Do you have something to report?" motioning them both to enter, as she turns to go back to her desk behind a library counter that has more signs that read, 'Howti Guard barracks.'
01[00:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Gradient sighs and replies to Dust_Off, "If anyone will come up with the parts. Really though, I'd let you take the unit for free if you could find the replacement parts." tapping his chin he then adds, "You know... if you did actually get the parts... maybe you wouldn't mind doing a little... scavenging for me... I'd pay you pretty good for it. Parts you can't find except for within a Stable."
06[00:30] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Sagittis then at the guard, "Nah, we were wonderin' if ya could help us askually."
06[00:30] * +Sagittis follows Sour_Grape in and lets her do the talking.
06[00:30] * +Dust_Off raises an eyebrow, "Your stable...which probably suffered some horrible tragedy?"
01[00:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The song ends with the Securapony clanking it's way noisily up to Giggles speaking in it's robotic tone, "PLEASE. DO NOT. RAISE YOUR VOLUME. OVER SEVENTY DECIBELS." causing the alicorn mare to turn and look at the robot in sheer confusion, "Huh? Deci-wha? You're dumb!" she sticks her tongue out at the machine. The radio on the pipbuck switches songs to a lovely mare's voice that sings in a pleasant tune with clarinets playing initially, "I say I'll move the mountains... and I'll... move the mountains... if he wants them... out of the way.... Crazy they call me... sure I'm crazy.... in love I'd saaay..."
[00:32] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Oooh, I love this one..."  The blond unicorn turns the volume down some, so if Giggles starts shouting again she won't be able to hear the music.
06[00:33] * +Roy_Calbeck nods at Giggles. "The robot means you're singing too loud. It's okay, just bring it down a notch and you won't get in trouble."
01[00:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare stops then turns back to Sour_Grape and Sagittis holding a pleasant smile and asking, "Sure sweetie, what do you guys need help with?" Gradient sighs despondantly speaking, "Yes... sadly... our water chip broke long time ago and we sent a lone member out to recover it... he was successful after nearly over a hundred days... having to wipe out a secret cult of ponies worshipping Alicorns... revering them as the new Goddesses... then when he returned successful... our Overmare had to cast him out... for fear of corrupting everypony residing within..." when he stops his speech, his lips quibble as if he's trying to repress a smile.
06[00:36] * +Dust_Off looks at the stallion, "That was you, wasn't it?"
06[00:36] * +Sour_Grape "Well, we're headin' ta Mercy ta try'n help them out, and we're wonderin' if ya had any info on Legion movements so we'd know how'ta get there without being, you know, shot."
01[00:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles gives a frowny pout then huffs speaking, "Fine... Gosh, I can't do anything right..." she then sits on her haunches, tearing up. Gradient snorts then breaks out into laughter, shaking his head, "N-No... sorry... actually, our stable gave the 'all clear signal' about eighty years after megaspells blew everything away. A few of the more stubborn residents decided to stay, but the locking mechanism wouldn't function anymore... we suspect it was Stable-tec's way of 'urging' us to return and rebuild civilization." shaking his head he then adds, "Honestly, it's been a long time since anypony's had contact with our old Stable... it's not too far from Mercy... it could be picked clean, but even if you don't find what I need, you could access the Overmare's personal terminal and get the location of our sister Stable."
06[00:41] * +Roy_Calbeck gets up and walks over to Giggles, giving the alicorn mare a nuzzle. "It's not that, silly. You didn't know 'cause nopony told ya. Now you know. It's okay."
01[00:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare shakes her head to Sour_Grape frowning sadly somewhat, "Sorry we're not sure. They're pretty sneaky and... we're not very... keen... on leaving the safety of our settlement. Between our small numbers and our precious robots, we can't really spare any ponies to go investigate the area."
06[00:42] * +Sour_Grape pouts "Oh..." She looks over at Sagi, "Guess we're outta luck..."
01[00:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles goes wide-eyed at the nuzzling, pulling her head away from Roy_Calbeck and frowning, "Don't. I don't like that.... other ponies... they... did... that...." she looks... really uncomfortable and flushes in her disapproval.
06[00:43] * +Roy_Calbeck steps back and gives a nod. "Sorry."
06[00:43] * +Sagittis sighs and shakes his head. So sloppy. "Okay then. Surely you get caravans from time to time, where do they hang out? I get the feeling the others will be fiddling with their PipBucks for a while still."
06[00:43] * +Roy_Calbeck cocks his head at Giggles. "Guess I don't know much about you, either."
01[00:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare nods to Sagittis, "Of course we get caravans, they're welcomed in and usually visit their respective merchants to offload their haul. If they're resting, you might wanna check out the Spruced Goose." Giggles looks up in her discomfort with a single eye to Roy_Calbeck, simply shaking her head in response to his question, then rubs a foreleg with a hoof.
06[00:45] * +Dust_Off smiles and nods to Gradient, "Guessing it was you was worth a shot.  The Stable may be scavenged, but it takes the very insane or very ambitious to go for the heavy infrastructure.  Can you point the location of your stable out?"
06[00:46] * +Sagittis nods to the guard. "Thanks, ma'am." He looks to Sour_Grape. "Bar or just get the others and go?"
06[00:47] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Sagittis, "AH doubt they'd know much. Its up'ta you."
01[00:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare smiles to Sagittis speaking, "You and your fillyfriend take care now, sorry I couldn't be much further help." then shuts the door. Gradient nods with a grin, motioning with a hoof to Dust_Off to approach him speaking, "Absolutely, let me take a gander of your pipbuck."
06[00:48] * +Dust_Off walks up to Gradient and holds her left leg out to him.
06[00:49] * +Sagittis is about to reply to Sour_Grape, but stops and just blinks at the door the guard closed.
01[00:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Gradient access Dust_Off's pipbuck with crazy percision, knowing exactly which options to select. It was... slightly uncomfortable as he jerked the mare's leg somewhat harshly in order to angle it for him to see properly. Selecting the 'MAP' suboption under the 'DATA' main option, tilting the dial on the side a few rhythmic times as he accesses the 'INPUT DESIGNATED MARK' option, it displaying a warning that reads, 'DANGER! DO NOT DESIGNATE LOCATIONS WITHOUT ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY!' marking Mercy as well as his stable, it reading 'Stable 83'... it... wasn't that far from Mercy at all!
06[00:52] * +Sour_Grape would point out to sagi that they didn't actually enter
01[00:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The radio on Roy_Calbeck's pipbuck continues to sing, "The difficult, I'll do right now... the impossible will take a little while... I'll say I'll... care forever... and I mean... forever... if I have to... hold up the sky..."
06[00:52] * +Roy_Calbeck looks down at his PipBuck. "Well, let's see if we can find some other music that won't get us both in trouble, huh?" He taps his way through the short Radio list, listening briefly to each channel.
06[00:52] * +Dust_Off whinces, "Hey!  Ouch, watch it!"
06[00:53] * +Sagittis is honestly surprised Sour_Grape didn't make any comments on the fillyfriend comment.
06[00:53] * +Sour_Grape is pretending she didn't hear it for her sanity's sake, "Sagi?"
02[00:53] * +Slag_Heap ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[00:55] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Nothing. Lets just get the others."
06[00:56] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Right, less go. Pretty sure that guard was high anyway." SHe heads for their last known location.
06[00:57] * +Sagittis follows Sour_Grape.
01[00:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Mareizona Music Central plays a song of a swarthy stallions voice with lively jazz music as he sings, "How lucky, can one buck be? I kissed her... and she kissed me.... like a fella once said... ain't that a kick in the head..." sound of trumpets. Selecting the 'Mareizona Airbone Airwaves' option plays a grandoise marching song... reminiscient of pre-war Equestria with an aged mares voice that speaks out afterwards, "Hello and salutaions once again, fellow Ponies, this is Head-Chairpony Contrail Streaks and I'd like to take a moment to discuss with you, the importance of our involvement in recent times. Yes... I know that our presence has been... scarces... until of recent when the cloud-cover disappeared... thanks to the efforts of a... most pretentiously vile pony... but I urge you all, to see reason and trust that we are /not/ your enemies..."
06[01:00] * +Roy_Calbeck listens closely. It's obviously propaganda radio, but it's best to know thy enemies...
06[01:00] * +Dust_Off takes back her overextended leg, "Well, thank you.  I should be going."
06[01:00] * +Roy_Calbeck calls into the shop. "Hey, Captain? You know a guy named Cunt Streaks or somethin'?"
06[01:01] * +Dust_Off freezes and then turns to yell out the door, "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
06[01:02] * +Sour_Grape hears Dust_Off yelling and follows the voice, "Whats goin' on?"
[01:02] <+Roy_Calbeck> "What?  That's what his name sounds like.  He's on th' radio."
01[01:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Gradient finishes adding the location letting go of Dust_Off's leg and blushing slightly in embarrassment saying, "My bad. But uh... regardless... if you happen to find a Plasma Fuel Cell injector, an inlaid arcano-convertor, as well as a Neo-matrix equalizer, I'd be most grateful... like I said... you can probably find these things in Hellfire city more than likely... but it's right dangerous.... the safer bet, believe it or not, is going to be rooting through Stables. Oh and... if you want the spare parts to this cooling unit... here's a list..." he quickly takes out a piece of old yellow paper, writing hastily on it, then giving it to the pegasexy.
06[01:03] * +Dust_Off takes the list and then examines her notes section under data. She remembered hearing about it doing stuff like this."
01[01:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape and Sagittis can hear yelling and sees Giggles shying away from Roy_Calbeck, looking... rather uncomfortable.
06[01:05] * +Sagittis blinks and walks over to Giggles. "Are you okay?"
06[01:05] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at Giggles. "What's wrong?"
01[01:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As she scans the note of paper, she sees somehow... as if by magic... her note section automatically updates, word for word, copying exactly what was on the paper.
01[01:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles simply shakess her head in response to Sagittis, just... eyeing Roy_Calbeck hesitantly.
06[01:07] * +Sagittis pats Giggles side and holds up a hoof for Roy to step back a bit. "It's okay. Tell me what's wrong."
06[01:07] * +Roy_Calbeck is already by the door, having backed up from the mare, and has no where to step back to. He arches a brow at Sagittis.
06[01:08] * +Dust_Off smiles and stuffs the note away.  She stomps out of the store to deal with Roy, "Why would you yell out such an inappropriate thing, even if it's a name?  And no, I don't know a malcontent by that name."
06[01:08] * +Sagittis then urges Giggles to back off with him.
01[01:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks at Sagittis uneasily for a moment, then mumbles something.
06[01:08] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "He's Enclave."
06[01:09] * +Roy_Calbeck turns up his radio so everypony can hear.
06[01:09] * +Sour_Grape "What did he well out? Was it fuck? Damn? Shit? Piss? Cunt? Cock? Dick? Bitch? Or was it somethin' racist?"
06[01:10] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head at Sour. "Nah, you nailed it in that list already."
06[01:10] * +Dust_Off glares at Sour_Grape, "Hush.  So because I was Enclave, I know every pervert personally?"
[01:10] <+Dust_Off> The last part was said to Roy.
06[01:11] * +Sour_Grape pouts as she is told to hush. SHe was just trying to help, "So it was also racist?"
[01:12] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Guy calls himself Head-Chairpony.  That's not a big deal in Enclave circles, then?"
06[01:12] * +Sagittis blinks and narrows his eyes at Roy_Calbeck. "Back away from the shotgun filly of doom, perv."
06[01:13] * +Roy_Calbeck eyes the zebra colt. "What th' hell are you talkin' about?"
06[01:13] * +Dust_Off blinks at Roy, "Wat."
06[01:14] * +Roy_Calbeck eyerolls and lifts his PipBuck so Dust_Off can hear the Enclave propaganda pony better. "That guy."
01[01:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks at Sour_Grape with wide-eyes but doesn't say anything. Dust_Off can hear on Roy_Calbeck's pipbuck the same mare speaking further, "The Enclave are ponies, such as yourselves. You must understand that our actions were forced from the very start for the sake of survival. We do not seek to enslave you of your will, such as these malcontents... these... 'New... Pony Legion'... nor do we wish to rob you of your meager means of defense, such as these... 'Steel Rangers' and their ridiculous fluffed up bravado of knightly nonsense. We simply need a place to secure for our own... a land suitable for habitation. If not forced, as we were, we would have no need to annex your lands. Each town that resists, only strengthens our resolve to achieve our needs... needs we desperately need... surely you are all aware of starvation... and how debilitating it's effects are... Would you see our foals die of such? Such a... tragic, slow, and painful means?"
01[01:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> needs we desperately must meet*...
06[01:15] * +Sour_Grape "That guy makes a great argument. If we don't make /your/ foals starve, ours will. Could he have his head stuck further up his ass?"
06[01:15] * +Dust_Off stares at the majestic white stallion's PipBuck and listens.
06[01:17] * +Sagittis keeps eyes Roy. "Giggles said he fondled her." He glances at the PipBuck. "Great, more Enclave, woe is us, you are the bad guys, propaganda shit for their imperialist greed."
06[01:18] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis and then Roy, "Wait, wat?"
06[01:19] * +Roy_Calbeck arches the other brow, turning to Dust_Off. "News to me. She was about to cry, so I gave her a nuzzle to cheer her up."
[01:20] <+Roy_Calbeck> "She said she didn't like that, so I apologized an' backed off."
06[01:20] * +Sagittis "Where I come from, we don't take kindly to groping little girls, even very large ones." He blinks and looks to Bubbles. "A nuzzle?"
06[01:20] * +Sour_Grape "A nuzzle ain't a fondle, but howsabout we don't touch tha alikern less she says so first."
[01:21] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Eeyah, we already established that, thanks."
06[01:21] * +Dust_Off looks at Giggles, "What happened, sweetie?"
01[01:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The MARE on the pipbuck that Roy_Calbeck owned, continues to speak, "Long ago, ponies of pre-war Equestria worked in tandem. Unified for the greater good. Is it really so different now? Equestria is not gone, fellow ponies, it has simply changed, with the closest form of your once glorious governement being reflected from us. We... are the closest sembalance to Equestria. As Equestria and the true Princesses of past selflessly strove to aid their citizens, so would we do the same, if you would simply subject yourselves to our rule. You would be afforded security... education... and in due time... a reliable source of food, at reasonable prices. Certain... 'liberties' that you claim... which are more privileges, would be revoked in the name of the betterment of ponykind, but we feel, if you maintain a reasonable and level-head, you would see that your live's would be just the same, if not improved under our laws. So please... fellow ponies... lay down your weapons... reunite... with the Mareizona Airborne Corps... and stand proud as future potential citizens for True Equestria!" with that, the speech ends with another fanfare of glorious marching music... very militrisitic in tone.
06[01:23] * +Roy_Calbeck taps the radio again, turning it off. "Dunno why anypony would go by 'Cunt Rail Streaks', though. Sounds like she has a problem with incontinence."
01[01:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks from Sagittis to Roy_Calbeck., then to Dust_Off, getting up and cowering behind her speaking in a shaky voice, "R-Roy... n-nuzzled... m-me... p-ponies... that.... n-nuzzle... try to... k-kiss me... th-then..." her words trail off in inaudible mumbling.
06[01:25] * +Roy_Calbeck stops fiddling with his PipBuck, looks up, and stares incredulously at the alicorn.
06[01:25] * +Sour_Grape blinks at Roy_Calbeck, "In... conto-what?"
06[01:25] * +Roy_Calbeck does that for about three seconds, then sits on his rump and double-facehoofs.
06[01:27] * +Sagittis walks over to Giggles. "It's okay, Giggles. Roy really should have asked, but he didn't mean to scare you."
06[01:28] * +Dust_Off puts a hoofs on the mare's shoulder, "Exactly, Roy didn't mean it that way.  And no one here will do anything to hurt you."
06[01:29] * +Roy_Calbeck rubs his temples for a minute, then gets back up and shakes out his mane. "Ma'am. Permission to go somewhere else an' get piss drunk."
01[01:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks at Sagittis, then to Dust_Off and back to Sagittis, asking out timidly, "H-He... won't... try to... n-nuzzle... or k-kiss me w-will he? B-Because... I don't want t-to fall asleep...then w-wake up and... see him all red with that... bl-blood stuff..." she looks back to Roy_Calbeck with genuinely scared eyes.
06[01:31] * +Roy_Calbeck looks seriously annoyed right now. With whom and why, is anypony's guess, but the tone of his voice is flat as Neighbraska.
06[01:31] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "He won't. No one will touch you other than a pat on the shoulder without your consent. I will make sure of it."
06[01:32] * +Roy_Calbeck gives Sagi a dirty look. "I won't, because I won't. When did we discover she was a victim of sexual assault, again?"
01[01:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks somewhat confused to Sagittis... only showing hints of possible understanding, but it's clear from her expression she doesn't fully get it, as she asks, "Con..sent?"
06[01:33] * +Dust_Off glances at the two males, "Just now, now leave it be."
06[01:34] * +Dust_Off looks up at Giggles, "Consent means that you say something is okay."
06[01:35] * +Sour_Grape "Right... so we going now?"
01[01:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The alicorn mare gives a slow nodding of understanding as she looks over to Dust_Off.
06[01:35] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at Dust_Off. "Ma'am? Permission denied or granted?"
06[01:37] * +Dust_Off glances at Roy, "Denied, we're moving out.  Focus what you're feeling on the Legion, Sergeant. They deserve to be an outlet."
03[01:37] * Slag_Heap ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
06[01:38] * +Roy_Calbeck nods curtly. "Yes, ma'am."
07[01:38] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Slag_Heap
06[01:40] * +Sagittis nods to Giggles. He tilts his head to Roy_Calbeck's dirty look, a bit confused. "I didn't single you out. I am just trying to make her feel safer." He nods to Dust_Off and looks back to Giggles. "We need to go now. We will be back in a little bit, okay?"
06[01:40] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to face towards the city gates, this also incidentally being away from the rest of the group, and waits silently for orders.
01[01:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles nods simply to Sagittis, then sits on her haunches, idly chewing on the end of her mane.
06[01:42] * +Dust_Off frowns at Sagittis, "I'm not going to leave her here.  Especially after that."
06[01:42] * +Slag_Heap smokes his cigar.
06[01:45] * +Sagittis looks up to Dust_Off. "Okay then. Would you like to ask her to come with or chat with Roy? Sour can have the other job as she is the talky filly."
06[01:45] * +Sour_Grape tilts her head at Sagittis, "Huh? I think we're leavin' fer mercy, right?"
06[01:46] * +Dust_Off blinks, "Yes, I thought we were leaving.  I've already got a lead on AC units for Glassy Flats."
06[01:48] * +Sagittis nods to Dust_Off and Sour_Grape. "Yeah, but we need to ask if Giggles wants to come with us and I think someone needs to talk to Roy. He seems sour."
01[01:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks confused, turning to Dust_Off and asking out, "But... I thought I was coming with you ponie because you wanted to help me?"
06[01:50] * +Slag_Heap just sort of stands there watching. "Just shut up and stay out of it. Just. Shut. Up." He thinks to himself. He puffs on his cigar. "Nothing to add... you have nothing to add..."
06[01:50] * +Dust_Off looks at Giggles, "That is the plan as discussed yesterday.  The sun's gotten to Sagittis ,and he's confused."
06[01:50] * +Slag_Heap thinks all this.
06[01:50] * +Slag_Heap thinks all this.
01[01:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap /thinks/?! oh lawd.
06[01:51] * +Sagittis turns back to Dust_Off. "Sorry. She seemed to have a problem with a fight and I thought we were leaving her out of the war for that. My bad."
06[01:51] * +Slag_Heap does think sometimes. Most think his brain was slowly picked away with the strands of his mane, but they're silly and got thier faces caved in.
06[01:53] * +Dust_Off glances to Roy, "I'll talk to him on the way."  She looks back at Sagittis, "We keep her out of the fight as much as possible, but we can't  help or protect her miles away."
06[01:54] * +Sour_Grape "She can prolly use her magiccy powers ta defend herself."
06[01:54] * +Roy_Calbeck just stands there, at a semblance of parade-rest, waiting.
06[01:54] * +Sagittis nods again. "Okay then. I'm ready when you are. I'll pick up some treats for Giggles and meet you at the gate."
01[01:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles traces a hoof on the asphalt idly at this point, as she waits for the group, only perking up when she hears her name, looking towards Sagittis curiously.
06[01:56] * +Dust_Off nods, "Meet you there.  Come on everyone."  She walks towards the gate.
06[01:56] * +Sour_Grape "Don't give her too much sugar." She says as Saggitis does that
06[01:57] * +Slag_Heap gets to marchin his big hooves. The ground shudders ever so slightly around him. Fatty? No. Muscley!
01[01:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles gets up following after Dust_Off.
06[01:58] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Dry fruit if I can get it." He goes SHOPPPIIIINNNGGG!
06[01:59] * +Sour_Grape flies after Dust_Off because flying is the /best/
01[01:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 There is a general market not too far from their location... coincidentally it's down Sarsparilla avenue, past the Sunrise Sarsparilla bottling plant. Giggles continues to follow Dust_Off like an alicorn sized puppy.
01[02:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 By the way, watch out for those bent traffic poles Sour_Grape!
06[02:01] * +Roy_Calbeck marches like he has a steel pole engaged in rectal defilade.
06[02:04] * +Dust_Off trots up ahead, motioning the others to stay back.  "What's wrong, Gunny?"
06[02:05] * +Sagittis is at the gate with whatever he buys with the SB PMs.
06[02:06] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "Nothin', ma'am. Just console a sad mare, get called a rapist, par fer th' course."
06[02:07] * +Roy_Calbeck has just inadvertently made pony golf a canon thing.
01[02:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As the group once again passes through the giant pre-war cinemaplex, they notice a mix of pony guards with protectaponies patrolling about or standing at attention. Near the center at the register is Databyte at a computer terminal that is hooked to a pod housing a Mister Gutsy robot, tapping and clacking away studiously with a concentrated expression on her face. Minus Sagittis, the group sees they can exit the way they entered the settlement originally, or attempt to explore the various hallways.

12[02:11] * DancingOnTheAshes is now known as Pony_62365
02[02:12] * DotA ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[02:13] * +Dust_Off shakes her head, "Sagittis was wrong.  About so many things.   No one else assumed you did anything.  Even I could have diagnosed her abuse."
01[02:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Yes I doubt No_One assumed he did anything.
06[02:19] * +Roy_Calbeck doesn't seem to take that as any comfort. He might as well be a Protectapony, the way he's moving along.
[02:21] <+Roy_Calbeck> "It's also me, ma'am.  Try doin' somethin' nice, turns out you hurt somepony.  It's th' kinda thing that makes me sorry I can't jus' turn off my brain an' become a raider."
06[02:22] * +Sour_Grape takes offense to that
01[02:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Why would she take offense to that? It's not like she's a raider or anything....
06[02:24] * +Dust_Off sighs, "Roy, you were doing right and it does ricochet back at times.  That's no reason to stop.  You will be proven right.  Don't let yourself be dragged down to apathy.   It's a deep hole that's hard to get out of."
06[02:25] * +Sagittis feels the urge to snort indignantly, but just takes out the pink, easy-bake oven he just bought and starts making something.
01[02:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The shop owner, an elderly mare seems quite happy with her sale to the young zebra colt and can't help but comment about how simply adorable he looks with his new cookware.
06[02:26] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sagittis. "Cute oven."
01[02:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis is still in the shop, away from the group.
[02:26] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Not that I have a choice, ma'am.  Honorable service is what I do.  Doesn't make this kinda thing any better."
06[02:27] * +Slag_Heap redacts that. Curse you Roy_Calbeck for saying he was with the group over skype!
06[02:29] * +Sagittis is doing his backing at the gates, but before he goes there, he says thank you to the shop keep. Ponies who thought he was cute tended to do him favors.
06[02:30] * +Dust_Off nods, "I know.  I was speaking from experience."  She looks far off ahead, "Windy was what my uncle called me when I was a filly.  Uncle Golden Arches used to laugh as his little filly rushed around creating a mess of his office."
06[02:31] * +Slag_Heap has a sudden craving for burgers and fries...
02[02:32] * Yoshi ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
01[02:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis begins to head his way to rejoin with the group, making haste. As the main-party traverses the promenade, close to nearing the exit leading to the front gate, Databyte happens to look up, spotting Giggles, blinking in surprise and asking the alicorn, "Giggles... where are you going? Are you following them?" To which the alicorn turns and smiles, nodding rapidly, "Yush! They're gonna totally help me out cause they're my friends!" To which the guard mare blinks then looks at the party speaking out with a suspicious tone, "That... right?"
06[02:33] * +Roy_Calbeck turns his head to Dust_Off as they walk along. "I was wonderin' about that..." He seems to loosen up a bit, though it seems a little forced on his part... like he's afraid of offending if he doesn't, given the sudden personal revelation.
06[02:34] * +Roy_Calbeck is constantly amazed at how much information body language can convey all by itself, and sometimes makes use of that..
06[02:35] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Databyte and nods, "Yeah, we're besties."
06[02:36] * +Roy_Calbeck snaps his head towards the guard with a glare, so fast you can swear there's a distinct *whipcrack*. "Yes. The alicorn is under our protection."
01[02:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte just looks at Sour_Grape in an analytical fashion, then motions for them to come closer, freezing in place and just... staring at Roy_Calbeck with a fair amount of surrealism at his sudden gestures and words.
06[02:37] * +Roy_Calbeck stops dead in his tracks, staring at Databyte with a completely flat look.
06[02:38] * +Dust_Off looks over at Roy, "We're closed off from our pasts, but if you ever need to talk, you can talk with me."  She re-re-re-re-re-registers her username as "Windy" and leaves it.   Good thing she didn't decide to go with her first thought, BondageMare69.
06[02:39] * +Dust_Off goes up to Databyte with a raised eyebrow.
01[02:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles starts to approach Databyte causing the guard mare to go wide-eyed momentarily then frantically search for something under the counter. Smiling in relief at apparently finding something, she pulls out a strange widget in a glass casing, with two burnt out colored lights on it... one red and one green. Floating it out with her magic, she smiles wide in an obviously fake manner to the alicorn, of which instantly locks eyes with the widget going, "ooOooOoo..." Databyte then says, "Here Giggles! If you go over there and let me talk to the nice ponies, you can have this!" Of which, Giggles teleports the widget to her saying outloud, "Okay!" then moving away as instructed.
06[02:41] * +Dust_Off glares at Databyte.
06[02:42] * +Slag_Heap chews on his cigar, still waiting to get moving.
01[02:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giving off a small sighing, Sagittis finally reaches the cinemaplex at the entrance the group at entered from the town itself, not the gates. The striped colt can see the group speaking to Databyte, with Giggles... messing with... something in her magic, giggling like her namesake and making silly animated wooshing sounds. Databyte sighs then shakes her head, squinting at Dust_Off's expression curiously, "Ookay... not sure what your problem is... but I just had to tell you something before you trot out with her." Gaining a rather serious look, she places her elbows on the counter, clapping her hooves together and saying, "You're... being truthful about... wanting to help her... right?"
01[02:43] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte gave a small sighing, not Sagittis.
06[02:44] * +Roy_Calbeck looks away towards the gate, a tightness around his lips.
06[02:44] * +Sagittis walks over and sits next to Giggles while he waits.
06[02:44] * +Slag_Heap rolls the cigar from one side of his mouth to the other.
01[02:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles is having a grand old time, lost in her own fantastical world as she floats the widget about, saying outloud, "This is Celestia's Sunrise, We repeat, Celestia's sunrise, reporting to any and all friendlies! Helping the town from the bad guys fighting, over." she then makes a static like sound, as if imitating a walkie-talkie.
06[02:47] * +Dust_Off nods, "Yes, we do.  She is afflicted by more than a few traumatic psychological maladies, and she needs help not to be ignored or distracted like dog when inconvenient."
01[02:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte raises an eyebrow to Dust_Off then gains a sad look, casting her gaze downward, "Yeah... she does need help. Thats why I put her in the bottling plant... against the town's wishes... You know she's... afraid of fighting... right?" the mare looks up to the pegasus with her still fairly stern expression.
06[02:49] * +Dust_Off nods, "Yes.  Do you know she's been assaulted, sexually?"
06[02:50] * +Sour_Grape really isn't interested in the coversation so she sits on the ground and carefully inspects a wall
01[02:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte goes wide-eyed shaking her head and saying, "No... I... didn't..." then looks at Giggles with a forlorn look of sadness, mixed with pity, adding quietly, "Poor girl..."
06[02:51] * +Slag_Heap puffs his cigar and looks at Roy_Calbeck. "so... what we waiting for again?"
06[02:51] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs.
06[02:52] * +Sagittis looks over to Sour_Grape and waves her over as he gets his new oven out as well as a large bowl and ten tins of Mint-als.
01[02:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte slowly turns back to Dust_Off, her look shifting to that of concern, as she speaks, "Look... you should know something, since you want to help her. She's... There's... something I didn't tell you when we first met Giggles... something important you /need/ to know."
06[02:55] * +Sour_Grape eyes the mint-als and trots over, "Whats with tha oven? It looks like somethin' a filly'd have,"
01[02:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Indeed, the oven is frilly pink, with stickers of rainbows, smiling suns, and happy bunnies prancing about.
06[02:55] * +Dust_Off nods, "Please.  I need to know to help her."
06[02:58] * +Sagittis shrugs. "It was the only oven they had." He opens and deposits all the Mintals in the bowl. "I am making some cookies." He looks up to Sour_Grape as he pulls out some candy bars. "You like chocolate, right?"
06[02:58] * +Roy_Calbeck continues to stew in his own juices. Baste well and broil at 650 degrees for 35 minutes. Add garlic and pepper to taste.
06[02:58] * +Sour_Grape "Prolly... ah think... what're you doing to those." SHe looks worried, she doesn't like to see Mint-als get ruined.
01[02:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte looks to Giggles briefly, as she initally speaks, "When... she got attacked inadvertantly that night and threw up her shield... she killed those Rangers... that much you already know...." placing her upper teeth over her bottom lip... as if unsure she wanted to continue, the guard captain looks back to Dust_Off and speaks very quietly, loud only enough for those close to the mare to hear, "What you don't know... is that when she did... she had... changed... it was a totally different pony. An... angry one. And... she fights... really good... in that state... Problems are... she seems... unstable... when she saw us in that state, she didn't look too happy... she was charging up some type of spell... seemingly draining power from our robots... but suddenly she just... stopped... I'm not sure why, but she did. When she came too, she was... Giggles..." sighing and looking down to the counter, "Then... she saw that the ponies were dead... /mutliated/... and asked what happened. When... we told her she did it... she started breaking down..." the mare then looks up to Dust_Off again.
06[03:00] * +Slag_Heap digs in his pouches and offers a cigar to Roy_Calbeck
06[03:01] * +Roy_Calbeck gives a sidelong look, sighs, and takes the stogie in his magic. The unicorn sticks it in one side of his mouth and lights it up, nodding to Slag. "Thanks. I needed this."
02[03:02] * +Sagittis ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
06[03:03] * +Dust_Off nods sadly, "I'm not surprised...that does fit a diagnosis...thank you for telling me.  I don't want to make her fight.  We'll keep her safe, but she needs help.  Other than being too powerful to be so hurt and unstable, she deserves to heal, to become a pony again, not the wreck of a foal."
06[03:03] * +Slag_Heap nods and chews his own cigar. "No problem."
06[03:03] * +Roy_Calbeck floats out a bottle of rum. "Have a swig?"
06[03:04] * +Slag_Heap shakes his head and pulls out a bottle of whiskey. "I'm good."
01[03:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte nods and replies, "Agreed... I'd help her... but the town needs me... I... I did what I could, but I can only do so much." the mare closes her eyes, her voice strained with despair. Giggles stops playing with her widget when she notices Sagittis baking, ceasing her silly playing to watch the flufflecolt with intrigue.
06[03:05] * +Roy_Calbeck nods and puts it back. "Maybe later then."
03[03:05] * Sagittis ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
07[03:05] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Sagittis
06[03:06] * +Slag_Heap puts his whiskey away for later.
06[03:06] * +Roy_Calbeck looks over towards the alicorn, softening somewhat. "Poor kid."
06[03:06] * +Dust_Off nods,'We'll do what we can.  Thank you, Captain Databyte."
06[03:07] * +Slag_Heap chews his cigar. "Yeah. Real shame." He doesn't seem to care much.
06[03:08] * +Sagittis dumps the candy in the bowl with the Mintals and smirks to Sour_Grape. "I think you will like this. I know my drugs."
01[03:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte opens her eyes, which are moist, but hard, as she looks to Dust_Off and speaks, "I... don't have any reason to not trust you... but I still feel like I have to say this... Please... don't make her fight. For her sake... and especially for your own."
06[03:09] * +Sour_Grape frowns and twiddles her thumbs, "Okay..."
06[03:09] * +Roy_Calbeck visibly puts two and two together... then trots over to the baking festival, edging in juuuuust between Giggles and the candy bowl.
[03:09] <+Dust_Off> (THUMBS?!)
01[03:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape probably bets you can't make a face crazier than.... THIS!
06[03:10] * +Slag_Heap doesn't move, just watching and leaning up against a wall.
[03:10] <+Roy_Calbeck> (well maybe if you count the entire hoof as a thumb... >^>)
[03:10] <+Sour_Grape> hooves*
06[03:11] * +Sagittis mixes in the milk and flour as well before dishing them out and popping them in the oven. "Give me 15-20."
06[03:11] * +Dust_Off nods firmly, "We won't make her.  We'll do everything to keep her safe.   I wish we could stay and help, but so much needs to be done or Giggle nor anyone else will be safe from the coming war."
01[03:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles seems transfixed on Sagittis' preperations, her flowing silver tail shifting about every now and then. A stallion near the group can't help but stare at Giggles... or something on her in particular.
02[03:12] * +Sagittis ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
03[03:13] * Sagittis ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
07[03:13] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Sagittis
06[03:14] * +Sour_Grape frowns more as Sagittis, "Okay..." He feels bad for those poor mint-als
06[03:14] * +Sagittis mixes in the milk and flour as well before dishing them out and popping them in the oven. "Give me 15-20."
06[03:14] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to transfix that stallion with a look.
01[03:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte gives a resigned nodding to Dust_Off, speaking solemnly, "Yeah... thanks... by the way... for helping us." leaning backwards in her chair and placing her hooves behind her head, "It's like... those with the heart to help, just can't... and those capable of helping are too selfish to do so." sighing, she then smiles and adds, "Good luck guys... be safe out there."
06[03:15] * +Sagittis blinks at the new raider colt.
[03:15] <+Sour_Grape> she
01[03:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The guard eyeing Giggles doesn't seem to know he's being watched.... coincidently, the alicorn is also oblivious to the stallion, as she looks at the easy bake oven and asks out, "Whatcha making?"
06[03:17] * +Roy_Calbeck carefully floats up a nearby small object --- rock, bit of rebar, whatever's about --- and bonks it off the guard's helmet.
06[03:17] * +Dust_Off nods, "We will be, as best we can."  She turns and goes to the group, spotting the leering stallion.  The pegasus mare raises her wings, unconsciously to seem bigger. and stomps towards the guard.
01[03:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 A pebble is about the closest thing Roy_Calbeck can manage to locate easily, spooking the guard and causing him to look about in surprise, his armor clattering about as his energy rifle shakes in his grip, his eyes darting about in fair panic. Databyte blinks at the stomping pegasus mare, but the armor clattering catches her attention, making her look at the guard and ask out sternly, "What's up?" The guard stallion blinks a couple of times and looks at Dust_Off with confusion, opening his mouth to say something.
06[03:21] * +Dust_Off gets in the stallion's face.  "I saw you staring at her.  At her flanks."
06[03:22] * +Roy_Calbeck goes back to making sure Giggles doesn't nom on Sagi's baked goods. That would be bad.
01[03:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The guard stallion simply balks, his pupils going pinpricks at the angry pegasus mare, his head backing up in response, a sweat forming on his brow. Databyte gets up and begins to make her way to the two, asking out rather unhappily, "Staring at /who's/ flanks?!" Giggles extends a hoof, poking Sagittis in the shoulder and asking, "Hay, whatcha makin?"
06[03:23] * +Sagittis looks up to Giggles. "Special cookies for Sour. I got you some treats for the trip too if you are good. But these are only for Sour."
01[03:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles pouts and flattens her ears saying outloud, "But I want cookies too!"
06[03:24] * +Sagittis "I have chocolate for you and I can make some irradiated cookies for you at Mercy."
01[03:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles instantly perks happily, clapping her hooves together and saying loudly, "Yay! Cookies!" she then gains a confused expression speaking out, "Irr... errr... Irrayd-ee-at... ed?"
06[03:25] * +Dust_Off doesn't look away from the stallion's eyes, "Giggles.  She may look like a grown mare, but she is not.   You are ogling a developed filly."
01[03:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The guard darts his eyes back and forth, as Databyte reaches Dust_Off's side squinting hard to the buck, who speaks out in a terrified tone, "I-- I didn't mean nothin by it! She's just... really pretty! Shit, please, I'm sorry, I won't do it again! Honest, captain!" Databyte closes her eyes, letting out a vastly vexed sighing, whilg rubbing her forehead with a fetlock, mumbling outloud, "I.... really... don't need... this.... right now..."
02[03:28] * +Roy_Calbeck ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[03:30] * +Dust_Off stares into the buck's shifty eyes, "If you ever touch, even stare at her, you will go to a special hell set aside for foaliphiles and ponies who talk at the theater.  Understand?"
03[03:34] * Roy_Calbeck ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
01[03:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Databyte opens her eyes then slowly turns to Dust_Off, cocking her head saying quietly, with a hint of amusement, "Thanks... but that special hell exists already... in mare form... and he's looking right at her." Turning to the buck she squints again and says sternly, "Am I correct, Electric Plug?" The stallion... who apparently has the silliest name ever nods rapidly, sweating like crazy while his voice cracks in his response, "Y-Yes m-ma'am!" Databyte shakes her head and says, "Report back to the barracks and let Torrent he's taking your shift... /and/ half your rations for upsetting visitors." The guard stallion balks... looking as if he's going to protest, but the guard mare's expression makes him deflate otherwise... simply nodding and saying, "Y-Yes Captain." then goes to leave. Databyte shakes her head then looks back to Dust_Off speaking, "Sorry... that... won't ever happen again... trust me on that."
07[03:34] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Roy_Calbeck
06[03:37] * +Sagittis looks up to Giggles. "The glowy stuff that heals you, but hurts most ponies." He pulls the cookies out of the oven and sniffs them a bit. "Lovely."
06[03:38] * +Roy_Calbeck inhales deeply through his nostrils, giving a deep sigh. "Too bad that stuff's so addictive. I love me some mint."
01[03:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles blinks then says excitedly, "Ohhh! Rads! I like that stuff! It's so warm and cozy!" her mouth salivates as she stares at the cookies, her eyes growing in size...
06[03:39] * +Dust_Off nods, "Okay, Databyte.  You know what's happened to her now.  Please watch out.  Those who take advantage of the helpless find new targets."  She turns to walk away and then stops looking over her shoulder.  "Electric Plug!"
01[03:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Electric Plug stops and is quite hesitant to look at Dust_Off, but he complies, turning slowly. Databyte tilts her head, looking at the pegasus mare.
06[03:40] * +Roy_Calbeck reaches a hoof over and lightly baps Giggles in the shoulder. "Ah ah ah... those are for another pony. Didn't I give you some cereal, or did you go through all that caramel already?"
06[03:41] * +Sour_Grape sniffs at the cookies, "For me?"
01[03:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles blinks and looks at Roy_Calbeck, frowning and saying, "But... I want cookies... why can't I have those ones? I'll just take one, I promise!"
06[03:41] * +Dust_Off narrows her eyes, "The. Special.  Hell."   She turns around sharply and trots away.
06[03:41] * +Sagittis shrugs. "These are dilluted, but still only for Sour for now. I can make some without drugs in them in Mercy." He looks up to Giggles and shakes his head no, but offers her a bottle of rad water and half a candy bar.
[03:42] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Because they're for another pony.  Look, candy!"
01[03:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks like she's going to ask something, but gasps, then smiles with a squeeing sound, taking both water and candy bar, ravenously chomping the candy.
01[03:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Electric Plug gulps looking at Dust_Off then glances over to Databyte, to which he quickens his pace to exit the area. Databyte just shakes her head with a small smile, then makes her way back to her station.
06[03:45] * +Sour_Grape "So... these cookies have mint-als in them?"
06[03:45] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks at the filly. "You can't SMELL that?":
06[03:46] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Roy_Calbeck, "Uh..."
01[03:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles chugs the irradiated water, saying happily with closed eyes, "OOoh! Tingly! Feels really good too!" Standing up, the alicorn paces in place and asks, "Where we going?! I'm totally ready! I can fly and stuff too! OO! I totally /looooove/ flying! But the dummies here won't let me do it! I can fly right?! RIGHT?!" for... whatever reason, she sounds a lot more hyper.
06[03:48] * +Dust_Off walks over to the group, "Right all sorted.  Ready every..."  She stops and looks at the baked....is that mint...?   She sighs.
06[03:49] * +Roy_Calbeck salutes. "Ready to go, ma'am."
06[03:50] * +Slag_Heap stands up straight and grunts with a nod.
06[03:51] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Yup. I figured you could munch on these on the road so you don't need to use full on Mintals when you don't need to think outside the chimney, but don't want to be hit with the withdawls."
06[03:52] * +Sour_Grape tilts her head then reaches out to grab a cookie and nom it
01[03:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks about, frowning at her unanswered question, then her face lights up as she begins to start singing off-key though this time, not loudly, "He's slapping, he's jacking, he's stacking! He's slap! Jack! Stacking those beets!"
06[03:53] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to Giggles. "Want me t'teach ya that song th' right way?"
01[03:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks like she's going to sing until she hears Roy_Calbeck, turning to look at the buck in confusion and asking, "I'm not singing it right? What am I doing wrong?"
06[03:54] * +Roy_Calbeck puts a hoof on his chest and singsongs, "o/` He's hackin' and whackin' and smackin'! Hack, whack, choppin' that meat!"
01[03:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles listens and watches Roy_Calbeck intently, then repeats his gesture, putting a hoof to her chest and singing out... still off-key, "He's hackin' and whackin' and smackin'! Hack, whack, choppin' that meat!" A couple of guards blink with one beginning to snicker.
06[03:56] * +Roy_Calbeck grins. "Better!"
06[03:56] * +Slag_Heap smokes his cigar and keeps walking, taking up the rear.
06[03:57] * +Sagittis looks over to Sour_Grape as he bags the others. "So, what do you think?"
01[03:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape seems to gain a very small sense of mental clarity... very similar to eating mint-als... but not quite... her withdrawl symptoms completely fade... vastly improving her mood as things didn't seem so dull and hard to focus on.
01[03:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Also, the cookie is scrumptious. So... delicious... unless the filly is an abomination and hates chocolate... who could possibly hate chocolate?
06[03:59] * +Sour_Grape blinky blinks, "Huh... weird. They're really tasty though. Can I have another?"
06[04:00] * +Roy_Calbeck holds up a hoof to Giggles. "How about this one? o/` Off we go, into the wild blue, yonder / Climbing high, into the sun / Here they come, firing at us, from under / At 'em mares, give 'em the gun! / Down we dive, streaking with lightning's thunder / Off with one, terrible roar / We live in fame, or go down in flame / Nothing can stop Equestria's Air Corps!"
01[04:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles tilts her head towards Roy_Calbeck... straining to gain focus on the lyrics... rubbing her head with a hoof, she attempts her best, singing completely off-key, "Climbing high into the sun / Here they come, firing at us, from thunder / Atom mares give 'um the fun! / Down we die, stroking with lightning's udder / Off with one, terrible roar / We live in fame, or go down in fame / Nothing can stop Equestria's Air cores!" she then looks at the stallion expectantly with eagerness.
06[04:04] * +Roy_Calbeck sits down and claps his forehooves together heartily.
06[04:05] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles. "Well done, especially for a first try!"
02[04:05] * +Sagittis ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
01[04:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles smiles happily and says... very loudly, "I did it?! I did good?!" she then bounces in places. flapping her magnificently large wings hard, shouting, "YAY! WE DID GOOD! WE SANG RIGHT! YAY FOR SINGING!" she then rears up on her hindlegs, letting out a happy whinnying.
03[04:06] * Sagittis ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
07[04:06] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Sagittis
06[04:07] * +Sagittis looks over to Sour_Grape as he bags the others. "So, what do you think?"
06[04:07] * +Dust_Off smiles and watches the herd of cars she calls a company.  She shakes her head, "Giggles, maybe Teeensiest bit quieter."
06[04:08] * +Sour_Grape blinky blinks, "Huh... weird. They're really tasty though. Can I have another?" repostforsagi
06[04:08] * +Roy_Calbeck puts a hoof to his lips and makes a shushing noise. "Try this for fun... yay~."
01[04:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles blinks then lands heavily with her forelegs on the ground, looking shameful and saying quietly, "Sorry..." she then looks at Roy_Calbeck goes very quietly, "yay~."
06[04:09] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles and nods to Giggles, then walks over to Dust_Off, leans in slightly, and mutters, "Tell me I'm not th' only one who caught th' Royal 'we' there?"
06[04:09] * +Slag_Heap keeps walking quietly. He listens to the music, but continues to smoke his cigar. Just about half way through it. He checks his pockets and finds one spare. He smiles and keeps moving up the line, walking next to Dust_Off.
01[04:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> (Giggles actually said I, she didn't say we, force of habit.)
06[04:10] * +Roy_Calbeck redacts that, satisfied to smile and nod at the alicorn.
01[04:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles wrinkles her nose, sniffing the air, the makes a disgusted face, sticking her tongue out and saying loudly, "Eww! It stinks!" Using a wing to cover her nose as she looks about then stares at Slag_Heap.
06[04:11] * +Roy_Calbeck puffs on his cigar once more, then puts it out and puts it away to save for later.
06[04:11] * +Slag_Heap doesn't notice.
06[04:12] * +Slag_Heap also finds it strange she's only just noticing after being near Roy_Calbeck for quite a little while.
01[04:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles also looks to Roy_Calbeck, seeing the cigar and asking out, "What are those? They smell nasty!"
06[04:12] * +Roy_Calbeck naturally absorbs tobacco smoke, is all. And still keeps a white hide! How does he do it?!
06[04:13] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to Giggles. "It's called a cigar, an' some ponies inhale their smoke t'relax."
06[04:14] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Best space them. These are expensive to make, but it is your call." He gives Sour_Grape a bag of 11 of them.
06[04:14] * +Sour_Grape takes the thin mints and licks her lips, "Thanks!"
01[04:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles coughs then rears her head backwards, repeatedly inhaling air... as if... she's about to sneeze. One of the guards says outloud in fear at the sight of the alicorn, "Dear Goddesses, cover your ears!" and quickly clamps his ears shut with his hooves. Databyte and the rest of the guard detail in the building gasp, then proceed to do the same.
06[04:15] * +Roy_Calbeck leaps forward and puts his hoof to the alicorn's nose!
[04:16] <+Roy_Calbeck> (boy, it's a darn good thing he never holds the cigar in his hoof, isn't it?)
06[04:16] * +Dust_Off looks around, "Is everyone ready to go?"  She looks in wary horror at Giggles.
06[04:17] * +Slag_Heap plugs his ears.
01[04:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles dramatically sucks in a large amount of air, her chest fully inflated, but simply deflates slowly, her nose wrinkling repeatedly as the alicorn filly-mare shakes her head, smiling to Roy_Calbeck and saying, "Thanks..."
02[04:18] * +Sagittis ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[04:18] * +Roy_Calbeck nods and backs away. "We'll keep th' cigars stowed, then." He turns to Slag. "In th' interests of party survival..."

07[04:19] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Sagittis
06[04:20] * +Slag_Heap takes his hooves out of his ears and grumbles slightly.
01[04:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 All the guards have their eyes clenched shut, trembling in cowardice. When one doesn't hear the alicorn sneeze, she lifts her head up waringly, then lets out a sigh of relief, shouting out loudly, "False alarm!" Causing only a couple to hear and get back up.
06[04:22] * +Dust_Off looks at the guards and the Slag_Heap.  "You can take smoke breaks.  Far from the group."
06[04:22] * +Roy_Calbeck motions to Slag's cigar, then makes a cutting motion across his neck.
06[04:24] * +Slag_Heap grumbles and takes the cigar from his mouth and puts it out on one of his armour's metal plates.
06[04:25] * +Roy_Calbeck prepares for a leap --- back to the FUTURE!
01[04:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck will be quite disappointed to learn there are no flying carriages, self-drying jackets/vests or self... uhh... self-shorning ponyshoes?
06[04:26] * +Slag_Heap wants to be able to run at 88mph
06[04:27] * +Slag_Heap also wants to go back to before the war to see what people would think about him.
06[04:27] * +Slag_Heap would most likely get arrested or would get first prize at Equestria Comic con cosplay competition.
06[04:27] * +Slag_Heap ECCCC
01[04:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Infact, there's no hoverboards, even though there's hovering robots! WEIRD! Anyway, the group persumably leaves the gate of Howti. making their way to Mercy once more, the Mr. Gutsy outside turns to them, as the group exits, speaking, "Thank you for stopping by Howti and not engaging in hostilites. Please return and continue to be cooperative."
06[04:28] * +Sour_Grape flips off the robot with her wing as she walks by
06[04:29] * +Dust_Off spreads her wings and takes to the air.  "Giggles, Sour, join me up here."
06[04:29] * +Sagittis follows Sour_Grape and chuckles at the wing.
06[04:29] * +Sour_Grape jumps into the air and flies after Dust_Off. "Yea?"
06[04:31] * +Roy_Calbeck is about to ask Sour something, then the filly lifts off. The unicorn, unable to follow, harrumphs. "Cheater pegasus magic..."
01[04:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape is just a bad seed bad seed, what you gonna do? Got a raider on your tail, you gotta run you gotta bail! Giggles follows Dust_Off's words, eyeing the filly's rude gesture and asking curiously, "Ooo whats that mean? Can I do it too? I bet I can!" the alicorn imitates the filly, directing her flippage to the Mr. Gutsy that just mutters, "Rude... Striped... organics.... just... if... my combat... inhibitor... was off..."
06[04:32] * +Slag_Heap "You'd be scrap."
06[04:33] * +Sagittis ranges a bit ahead of the group to check the road, not too sure if the air is not all to comfortable ground side.
06[04:36] * +Dust_Off sighs, "Giggles, Sour, neither of you should be doing that.  It was very rude and that Gutsy did nothing to us."  She flies comfortably above the group, but she is watching the other two fly, seeing how they do.
06[04:37] * +Sour_Grape flies fairly poorly, with a lot of uneeded flaps of her wings, but she flies! "Ah know it was rude, that was tha point."
06[04:37] * +Roy_Calbeck looks upward. "Well, guess we've got ourselves a proper air-support wing now. Sorta."
01[04:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Suddenly... explosions! No, this campaign is not ran by Michael Bray. Sagittis doesn't seem to spot anything further down the road. Daylight... sure reveals quite a bit... the party can see to their south (thanks to compass and pipbuck HUD!) that the area surrounding Howti, besides the mountains that border the settlement to it's east... has heavy scorch marks pock-marked and scattered to the south... various flags and ruined armors can be seen strewn about in shambles... mainly reflecting either M.A.C. or N.P.L. affliation... none of it useable... There is even... a blackened Veritbuck with several massive holes in it, one of the propellers completely broken off and missing.
01[04:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles flaps her wings and squees loudly, flying next to Sour_Grape saying, "Yay! Flying!" looking at Dust_Off and Sour_Grape she asks excitedly, "Isn't this so great?! I love filling the air between my feathers!"
06[04:40] * +Slag_Heap looks over. He stares for a breif moment, then shrugs and keeps moving.
01[04:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> (feeling*)
06[04:42] * +Sour_Grape nods with Giggles, "Yeah, its pretty much the most awesome thing."
01[04:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sun... is out... hot as usual... beating down on the group as they travel to Mercy... it doesn't take them quite as long to reach versus from traversing from Dune to Howti... seeing... a large series of chain-linked reinforced fencing with large posts every few hooves in intervals... sitting on the posts, the group can make out that there is something on top... squarish... but with something protruding from the shapes. The road ceases to be asphalt at this point, as a sign can be seen further up the path, made of wood.
02[04:45] * +Sagittis ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[04:46] * +Dust_Off smiles watching the two girls fly.  Grape was coming along well, and Giggles did know how to fly pretty well.  "Let's land, girls.  Stay with the group."
06[04:46] * +Roy_Calbeck looks across the ancient battlefield, paying particular attention to the tanks and APCs as they walk. He moves up to read the sign when it comes into view.
06[04:46] * +Sour_Grape glides down to the ground and trots along it, "When ya gunna teach me tricks?"
06[04:47] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to one of the posts, trying to determine what that is on top of it.
06[04:53] * +Dust_Off shrugs, "We need to get some time, and i will. Hmmm...your trick is your own.  I need to put you through the paces.  I can teach you two I know, but it isn't the same as finding YOURS."
01[04:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Roy_Calbeck attempts to survey the posts far ahead, he and Slag_Heap can hear flapping sounds... Sour_Grape, Dust_Off, and Giggles too embroiled in conversation with one another as the two males can hear the flapping rapidly approaching them...
06[04:54] * +Sour_Grape tilts her head, not really understanding, "Alright..."
06[04:54] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around. "Heads up! Inbounds!"
06[04:55] * +Slag_Heap raises his LMG muzzle to the flapping. "Inbound bogies! Up high!"
06[04:55] * +Roy_Calbeck levitates his service rifle to the ready position, checking that its magazine is fully loaded and flicking the safety off.
06[04:56] * +Sour_Grape looks up and around, "Huah?"
01[04:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 At the alarmed shouting and turning to the flapping sounds, the group can see a group of armored equines... flying... each with an impressive set of magical weaponry... all of which glow green... their... insectoid brown armor bears the insigina of the M.A.C. with the lead equine speaking in a female's voice through the speakers in a calm manner to the group, "Peace. We are not here to engage you as enemy." Giggles gasps then begins to quake in fear, attempting to hide behind Dust_Off.
06[04:58] * +Sour_Grape "I'm sure as fuck here ta engage you, what do you want?"
06[04:58] * +Dust_Off unslings her Lancer magic recharge rifle.  "Giggles, stay behind me and close your eyes until i say to."  She keeps her rifle ready, but not pointed at the pegasi.
06[04:59] * +Slag_Heap keeps them zeroed with his guns.
06[04:59] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to Dust_Off, then follows her lead.
01[05:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group of armored equines... seven amongst the group, /all/ wear their power armor, landing heavily with the hissing of hydraulics being heard. The lead figure raises a foreleg in the air, speaking, "Hold fire. Any pony that fires will be immediately punished." Causing the six other figures to nod and reply in confident tones, a mix of both stallions and mares, "Understood Captain." Giggles nods and can be heard gulping, covering her head with her forelegs, whimpering.
06[05:04] * +Dust_Off curses not being more disguised.   No hood up on her cloak, no glasses.   At least her wings were covered.  She looks to her group, "Hold your fire.  We won't be the ones start anything."  She looks at the Enclavers, "So what is your business with us?"
01[05:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 At this note, we come to another exciting close... once more, ending with our intrepid Irregulars facing off with another faction... however... in lieu of sneaky, hoofball equipment and standard firearms... they face the unbrideled might of the Mareizona Airborne Corps. itself. What will be the result of their encounter? Undoubtedly this group must be after something to take notice to the group without opening fire upon them. We shall see what is to become of this situation as it unfolds on the next session of Star Group, Fallout Equestria!
