FoE PnP Group Time Thief Session 6

[21:14:31] <@Roulette> -----------------------------------------------
[21:16:27] <@Roulette> The quest at hand was to get a generator for the settlement of Hanible. But it seems the factory they had came across held more than just what they were looking for.
[21:18:23] <@Roulette> It held a small torchered Foal. Of course I won't go into much details boys and girls , but needless to say...poor poor thing. The scene left marks on all the group , but it seems Brass & Frag were stronger stomached then the green horns.
[21:19:05] <@Roulette> We left our party walking with a wagon that now holds the large generator. Being pulled by the newcomer Demi , which brass brought with her.....
[21:19:11] <@Roulette> -Start------------------------
[21:20:51] Cutting_Edge huffs and puffs as she tries her hardest to pull the cart. "Stupid... thing..."
[21:22:00] Clear_Cut trudges along. "Agreed. Can't... wait until we... offload it."
[21:22:16] <@Roulette> Demi Slowly walks pulling the large wagon with the generator. He was pleased to see others helping him. He glanced over to Brass she seemed distant from him , not like this morning while they traveled to meet her friends to help.
[21:23:27] Caramel_Cream walks along the road back to Hannible. She stares off into the distance, trying to take her mind off the foal. "Whenever you all get too tired we can switch."
[21:25:38] <@Roulette> Demi slowly glanced back from his spot at the front at the others and looks down attempting to talk " At this speed , it will take a few days to Hanible." he said looking at Caramel then the others then to Brass who seemed off in her own world.
[21:26:44] Clear_Cut sighs. "Sounds like... it'll be a... long few days."
[21:26:46] <Frag> "Whenever I'm needed let me know." Looks off into the sky.
[21:29:02] Caramel_Cream gives Demi a small grateful smile. "This generator will help a lot of ponies. The sooner we get there the better. Um...thank you for helping us pull it back."
[21:30:29] Cutting_Edge groans. "Yeah, yeah. Just keep a watch for them 'raiders'. We don't want to be caught off guard, now do we?"
[21:31:16] <@Roulette> Demi looks down at the ground and looks a head. They were going about 1/4th their regular speed. HIs head turns catching Caramels words " No need to thank me Miss Caramel " he said returning a kind smile. He gave a small nod to Edge.
[21:38:35] <@Roulette> ::Perception/Pass:: The road seems to wind onwards , Growing ever darker as they leave the safety of the lights at the factory. There is sounds of creatures stirring in the darkness , yet have yet to approach them. Must been due to the size of their 'group'
[21:40:04] <@Roulette> :: Perception fail :: These ponies must not be paying to much attention to the others , staring off into space. These ponies are farther behind the others 10 meters , and most the creature noises can be heard around them.
[21:41:54] Caramel_Cream ears swivel around. "I don't think we're alone out here..."
[21:44:04] <@Roulette> Demi nods abit closing his eyes as he slowed pace of the wagon pulling free a flare from his vest pocket spinning it abit looking to Caramel " Here" he said now holding it out to her." use this might scare some of them away." he said tilting his head so his silver and green mane fell to the side a bit exposing his mismatched eyes.
[21:46:11] Cutting_Edge sighs. "Are we ever going to be alone?..."
[21:46:47] <Frag> "You'll just attract more attention doing that." Thinks to himself his eyes are odd.
[21:47:30] Clear_Cut__ uneasily trots along.
[21:49:21] <@Roulette> Demi glanced back to frag and shrugs abit putting it away. " It could bring more , Or scare a few off but it would allow us to see them." He said glancing away now.
[21:50:19] Caramel_Cream nods and takes the flare. "Hmm...there might be more raiders." She lights the flare and tosses it up as far as she can towards the noise.
[21:53:33] <@Roulette> :: Flare :: The flare lights up in a bright red that lights up 20 meters around caramel as she throws it , It only goes about 20 feet away from her landing in the sandy field , A few small animals scatter , and a few go towards the light staying around the borders.
[21:55:00] <@Roulette> Demi looked to Caramel and smiled " Good job , They should stay off us for an hour" He gave her a kind smile looking a head. " Plus if raiders are around , they will investigate this area which we won't be in."
[21:55:03] Frag thinks to himself, I need to get her away from outside ponies she's been around them too long.
[21:56:14] <Clear_Cut__> "Anypony know what kind of animals live around here?"
[21:56:20] <@Roulette> Demi glances to Frag " Though I'm going to need your help moving this cart a bit faster than this." He moved over slightly still pulling the wagon.
[21:56:51] Cutting_Edge nods. "Ah, smart" shes says as she starts to sweat.
[21:57:19] Frag walks over to the cart and takes part of the load and smiles remembering doing stuff like this in training. "sure thing."
[21:57:42] <Caramel_Cream> "Hopefully just small ones..." Caramel moves up behind the cart and helps push. "Right, we better move quickly then."
[21:58:07] <@Roulette> Demi glanced to Clear and Nodded " I know some of the animals that float about these parts Mr Cut " Looking to Frag smiling a bit " Thanks for the help"
[21:59:52] Cutting_Edge huffs. "And theses animals are just animals. They still die"
[22:00:26] <Frag_> "sometimes." he snickers.
[22:03:24] <@Roulette> Demi nodded " Those look to be coyotes , Nothing to worry about they are cowards when theres more then a few ponies in a group" he said glancing back at the flare area. " They could smell the blood on the cart , I didn't have nothing to clean it."He glanced to Frag. looking at him for a moment before looking a head. " No need to worry the more dangerous ones live up in the Crystal lake woods , and some in the hanible valley"
[22:05:08] Clear_Cut__ [[email protected]] has quit (Connection closed).
[22:05:28] Clear_Cut_ [[email protected]] joined the channel.
[22:05:54] <Cutting_Edge> "Isn't that where we are going? Back to Hanible?" Cutting Edge asks.
[22:08:30] <@Roulette> Demi glanced back to where Edge was " I'd say so , but theres no way we can make it back in the dark or even tonight , Miss Edge." He looked a head " I'd say about 12 hours to the Heli marker if Mr Frag and I start to run with the cart ...but...":
[22:11:09] <Frag_> "I'm game if you are. " Shrugs not caring either way. Soldiers don't complain.
[22:11:21] Caramel_Cream keeps her eyes open. "Anypony see a place to camp for the night?"
[22:11:50] <@Roulette> He looked a head now " That mean you and I be useless through the Crystal lake area... let alone we'd need more light to avoid breaks in the roads" he looked to frag " I would be game if it was you and I but I won't risk the others"
[22:12:07] Clear_Cut_ [[email protected]] has quit (Connection closed).
[22:12:33] Clear_Cut_ [[email protected]] joined the channel.
[22:13:25] <Clear_Cut_> "So what do you think the best course of action is?"
[22:14:07] <@Roulette> Demi glanced to Caramel then Clear " I can't say I am not the leader of this group." he glanced to Frag his thoughts 'oldest must be leader;
[22:15:19] <Frag_> " I only lead the short one." points hoof at caramel. " The others have free will."
[22:16:19] <@Roulette> Demi looked away from Frag " But if I was up to me , I'd set up camp in the woods. I can stay up and watch over you all for the night."
[22:17:28] Caramel_Cream puffs out her cheeks. "Your no taller than me sir...That sounds good. We'll trot for another hour or so to be safely away from the factory and set up camp in the woods."
[22:17:55] <Clear_Cut_> "I agree. I wouldn't want a repeat of our earlier fight with the wildlife."
[22:19:10] Cutting_Edge mumbles. "Leader shmeader. Ranks seem to be nothing but garbage here..."
[22:21:17] <@Roulette> Demi nodded a bit looking to his Brass but nothing that was she plotting in that head of hers? , " Dont worry if the animals are small I have a few more flares left." he said to the others pulling the cart with Frag.
[22:21:18] Frag_ looks at caramel and smiles thinking about how much she is like his daughter. Every girls rebellious phase. Remembers his daughter huffing just like that when she found out he followed her on her whole first date. He laughs lightly forgetting he's with the group.
[22:25:02] Cutting_Edge continues to pull the cart angrily. "Ugh.... we should've known this thing would be HUGE!"
[22:27:00] <@Roulette> Demi laughed a bit to himself , it was due to edge saying this thing was big .
[22:27:24] Caramel_Cream is quickly out of breath as she points out a spot in the woods. "Here...looks like as good as place as any. Would we be safe to sleep here Demi?"
[22:30:27] <@Roulette> Demi glanced to the woods and nodded to Caramel " this will be fine Miss caramel." He said looking to Frag " we will have to pull this thing between some trees make it a little harder to see from the road." He smiled a bit now and began to pull to the right towards the tree line.
[22:31:29] <Clear_Cut_> "Sounds good."
[22:32:09] Cutting_Edge grumbles. "Why waste time?" She lets out a sigh. "Ok fine... I am a little tired as well..."
[22:32:26] Frag_ nods. "Miss caramel?" he mumbles.
[22:33:41] Caramel_Cream starts to gather up a little wood for a fire. She smiles. "It sounds better than Mister Frag."
[22:34:03] <@Roulette> Demi turned to Edge and nodded " Yes we should rest and waste time until daylight less creatures out that like to eat ponies" he said with a small smile as they wedge the wagon into the woods abit.
[22:35:28] <@Roulette> Once they were done with that it seemed Demi and Brass went near the cart and begin to set up a single sleeping tent for Brass outta demis pack. Brass goes into the tent and closes the flap as Demi moves away and climbs atop the wagon sitting with his sword leaned against his shoulder watching the others.
[22:35:31] <Frag_> " I rather just be sir." Dead glares at Caramel.
[22:37:59] Caramel_Cream giggles as she starts to build a small fire for them to enjoy, avoiding Frag's gaze. "Yes sir~"
[22:42:27] <@Roulette> :: Camp :: The night is cooling down pretty fast , Good thing Caramel started the small fire. The warm orange glow lights a small area , being blocked by the tree's and wagon. Mostly.
[22:42:56] Frag_ sits next to caramel and pats her on the head. "Very good."
[22:43:12] <Clear_Cut_> "Well... Today's been tiring. That generator sure is heavy. Hehe."
[22:43:57] <@Roulette> Demi sits atop the wagon and generator Back to the fire looking out at the road.
[22:47:26] Caramel_Cream lounges by the fire, too tired to be mad at Frag. She gives a huuuge yawn. "It's lucky we found that cart. We should of probably brought one with us."
[22:47:53] Cutting_Edge shakes her head. "The fire will let us be seen from miles away..." She sighs.
[22:48:28] <Cutting_Edge> "But it will keep us warm... such a tactical disadvantage from such a needed resource..." She takes a spot next to the fire.
[22:50:23] <@Roulette> Sound can be heard from atop the wagon as a Demi's Bag falls near them spilling the contents of water bottles and a few mre's " Yah all should eat and rest" he said not looking down at the orange of the fire his eyes had already began to grow adjusted to looking into the darkness.
[22:52:03] Frag_ fidgets in place noticing demi is too fucking nice. He's been around the block more than once and no pony is this nice.
[22:52:14] Clear_Cut_ nods gratefully. "That's very generous of you."
[22:55:00] Caramel_Cream walks over and takes a few portions. "Thank you Demi. You're so kind..." She brings them back over for everypony and sits down near Edge. She smiles at her and asks, "Hungry?"
[22:55:46] Clear_Cut_ grabs a portion and a seat near the fire.
[22:56:05] <@Roulette> "It's no problem Mr Cut " he said calmly watching the dark. As Caramel too thanked him " Thank you Miss Caramel" he added adjusting abit on the top of the generator.
[22:58:50] Cutting_Edge shrugs. "I guess I could go for some food..."
[22:59:48] Clear_Cut_ [[email protected]] has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[23:00:54] Clear_Cut__ sighs. "All these Mr.'s and Doctors... It's making me feel old. Hehe."
[23:01:34] Frag laughs. " You feel old? Then what the fuck am I?"
[23:02:49] <@Roulette> Demi turns a bit keeping one eye closed looking down " I am sorry , What would you wish me to call you?" He asked his silver eye adjusting to the light.
[23:03:30] Caramel_Cream opens up her MRE and digs in. "Mmm it's good. So much better than what I usually have." She giggles at Frag. "Clear's right Demi you don't need to be so formal, I don't mind if you just called me Caramel."
[23:03:50] Cutting_Edge pulls out a chocolate bar from her bags and starts to eat it.
[23:03:59] <Clear_Cut> "It's nothing big. Just my first name is fine. I don't need much formality."
[23:05:13] Clear_Cut looks around at the ponies gathered. "So... what are everypony's plans after we deliver this generator?"
[23:05:39] Frag pulls out a can of vegetables. " I don't much care what you call me. I need to get information and then me and Caramel are on our way out."
[23:07:08] <@Roulette> Demi looked to the too and nodded a bit " Alright I will try to curve the use of Miss and Mr from now on , Clear" he now turned a bit and smiled a bit " Caramel." His attention shifted to Frag " Oh ? Would you like help?" he asked calmly.
[23:08:37] <Frag> "No, I have Caramel. She's the best shot I can ask for." Smiles at her hoping he won't push the topic.
[23:12:12] Cutting_Edge noms on her chocolate bar. "I plan to get back home"
[23:12:49] <@Roulette> Demi nods a bit looking away " Well she does seem to be a very capable mare" He said turning his body away so his back was once again to the fire. " Where is your home Miss Edge?" he asked now letting his eyes once again re adjust to the dark.
[23:13:57] Caramel_Cream shuffles her hooves. She thinks how best to respond to Frag. "We don't even know if Daniel will give us the information we need...He might have something else for us to do." She was also curious Where Edge was from exactly, looking to her for her answer.
[23:15:31] <Frag> "If he doesn't then it's time to move on as simple as that." dead stares Caramel making sure she knows that no other pony can be part of their mission.
[23:15:33] <Cutting_Edge> "My home is in Cloudsdale. I was stationed there before the bomb hit us... forcing me to come here..." she pulls out another chocolate bar and starts noming.
[23:18:42] <@Roulette> Demi adjusted a bit on the wagon , " I see so you're like Brass? Miss Edge? " he said peeking over his shoulder abit.
[23:20:06] Caramel_Cream ignores Frag for now. History wasn't her best subject...She had fallen asleep in that class a lot but she knew what happened to Cloudsdale. "You mean...your ancestors are from Cloudsdale?"
[23:21:06] <Cutting_Edge> "Yeah... from around the same time even.... but she's just a civie" she says as she noms her bar.
[23:22:22] <@Roulette> Demi blinks a bit " what is a Civie? " he asked not hearing the word before.
[23:22:59] <Cutting_Edge> "A civilian. Somepony not fit for combat" She finishes her noming and throws the wrapper away.
[23:23:30] <Clear_Cut> "She seems very shaken by the filly we found."
[23:24:51] Caramel_Cream is lost. "Same time? What do you mean Edge?"
[23:25:28] <@Roulette> Demi gives her a small nod " Yes she is upset though she will not talk with me" His eyes shifted to his tent where Brass was sleeping. To his knowledge." Seems I should have let her remain at my home" he said to himself turning away.
[23:29:52] Clear_Cut pulls out the business card he found. "Personally speaking... I think I'm going to try and find out a little bit more about this. I can't let something that horrible just happen."
[23:31:39] <@Roulette> Demi leaned back a bit now adjusting his Katana , " You all should just rest you all seemed to of had a stressful day in the wastes."
[23:32:12] Cutting_Edge nods. "Same time. Cause obviously she happened to know about the things, and I happen to recall hearing about her at some point. And I'm.... not exactly sure where we are now..."
[23:34:57] Caramel_Cream blinks. "You...I mean...Um Cloudsdale was hit first when the zebra's launched the megaspells...Nearly two hundred years ago." She looks around to Demi and Clear for help here.
[23:36:37] <Cutting_Edge> "I suppose so... cause we had no previous word on attacks.. so I guess we got it the worst.." She lets out a frown and a sigh.
[23:37:16] <@Roulette> Demi didn't look down to the others he only listened , Her story was similar to what Brass had told him.
[23:40:24] Caramel_Cream doesn't really know how to help. "I-I'm so sorry Edge...If theres anything I could do."
[23:41:21] Cutting_Edge shakes her head. "Nah... It's over and done with... all I can do now is kill as many zebra as I can to avenge Cloudsdale, and all of Equestria..."
[23:44:14] <@Roulette> Demi lets out a little shiver at edges words ' so shes the one I'm to avoid showing my self to' he thought to himself looking back abit. His silver eye locking onto her for a moment as he looked away ' ill just have to be careful ' he sighed to himself.
[23:46:32] Caramel_Cream lays her head on her front hooves and stares into the fire. "Revenge? I don't think there are even that many zebra's anymore. I've never seen one."
[23:47:33] <Clear_Cut_> "I've treated a few before. They're mostly as good or as bad as most ponies I've treated though."
[23:48:32] <Cutting_Edge> "Good. I plan to keep their numbers as low as possible..." Cutting says in a low voice, warming herself by the fire. "So this can never happen again..."

Caramel stirs about half way through the night, used to waking up about this time to take her usual watch.  She takes a look around and notices Demi still awake.  She gets up, yawning and walks over to him near the cart.  "Thanks for watching over us.  You can get some sleep now I can take over."
[3/8/2014 1:28:24 AM]   // Roulette: Demi turns his head looking down to the sleepy Caramel giving her a small smile. The dull orange embers still lit the camp slightly , their warmth still able to be felt by Caramel.

"It's no problem Caramel" he said adjusting his katana abit. " You should go back to sleep ." He gave her a kind smile as he turned looking out to the road.
[3/8/2014 1:32:22 AM] : Caramel tilts her head.  "Your the one who said it wouldn't be good if we didn't get any rest tonight.  You need sleep as much as the rest of us.  I'm used to this you don't have to worry."
[3/8/2014 1:36:06 AM]   // Roulette: Demi turned now looking to caramel with a smile." Yes but I'm not tired" he say quietly seeing how he did not wish to wake the others. He now bent down extending his hoof to help her up to the top of the generator with him.

" You wanna sit up here with me?" it was clear he was not going to sleep anytime soon he did seem awake .
[3/8/2014 1:40:23 AM] : "Up there?  With...you?  Alright,"  Caramel tries to clamber up on top of the cart, her back hooves flailing a bit and she grasps Demi.  She's clearly going to need Demi's help to get all the way up.
[3/8/2014 1:45:27 AM]   // Roulette: Demi reaches taking hold of her pulling her up with ease. Guess there was a reason why he was able to move the cart himself. Moving to the side a bit so she could sit up there with him. There was clearly room to easily sit four ponies or so.

Demi sat his katana next to him letting it rest against his shoulder wrapping a single hoof around it. " There you go" he said with a smile tilting his head abit.
[3/8/2014 1:51:56 AM] : Caramel giggles softly and her face flushes as she settles in on the cart.  "Thanks...I've never been very good at that sort of thing."  She rubs the last bit of sleep out of her eyes and she takes a good look around, sleeping giving her better night vision.
[3/8/2014 1:55:57 AM]   // Roulette: Demi smiled a bit " No worries , Im very use to this kind of stuff , climbing and such" he said looking out at the field and road.
The ground had some frost upon it and it was clear it was a lot colder up here then down in the camp fire area. Yet he been up here in just his vest.

Out in the open there is small creatures stirring , nothing dangerous though. " So why you up Caramel ? Could not sleep anymore?" he asked looking to her now tilting his head abit showing his eyes from his silver and emerald curtains.
[3/8/2014 1:59:40 AM] : Caramel shivers slightly from the cold.  "I guess i'm just used to this amount of sleep.  I get anxious and just wake up because I'm so used to sleeping and keeping watch in shifts with my partner Frag."  Caramel watches the small animals with a smile on her face.
[3/8/2014 2:03:55 AM]   // Roulette: Demi noticed Caramel shiver a bit. He lowered his Katana taking hold of the top of his vest ripping it free due to its quick release then he wrapped it around her and sat there allowing his Silver coat to show.

Picking up his katana he leaned it against him " there that should help" he smiled looking back into the camp behind them " And im sorry to hear its like that out here in the wastes." he looked to her now and smiles a bit.
"But I guess I do the same when i'm home though normally I'm doing chores around this time" he looks to the creatures playing.
[3/8/2014 2:10:58 AM] : Caramel eeps as she is wrapped in warm clothing.  Her face goes completely red and manages to squeak out a thank you.  It did feel nice but she doesn't really know what to say at this point.  It's the first time a buck has ever done anything like that for her.
[3/8/2014 2:15:54 AM]   // Roulette: Demi looked over to the red Caramel and smiled a bit 'cute just like Brass' He thought to himself. " That help I take it?" he asked moving a bit closer that way he didn't have to talk loud at all. He was thinking of the others resting as well.

"So Caramel , Ummm.." he paused looking out at the opening " You and Frag , are after something in particular?" he asked looking back to her , he was curious why Frag would not accept his help.
[3/8/2014 2:20:55 AM] : Caramel nods to Demi.  "We're looking for somepony.  A criminal.  He's...very dangerous.  A very bad pony."  Caramel seems to be timidly avoiding looking Demi right in the eyes, nervously looking around.  "Thank you...It's very s-sweet of you to give me your jacket.:
[3/8/2014 2:27:22 AM]   // Roulette: Demi nodded a bit to her smiling " I see , Thats why he's after information." Demi paused looking to the sky thinking about who was all the ponies he knew. ... sadly it was in single digits and he doubted it was any of them.

Thats when her thanks came to his ear causing him to look over to her. " Its no Problem Caramel , After All I brought you up in the cold." He looked away now from her. " And it would be a shame if you got sick because of me"

He glanced back his eyes shifting making sure there was no guns from frag pointed at him. For some reason Frag seemed to not trust him.
[3/8/2014 2:34:43 AM] : Caramel notices one of her braids has come undone during her sleep and begins the slow process of fully taking it out and rebraiding it.  She works up the nerve to ask Demi the big question she had while she slept.  "Um...about last night...Edge and Brass.  I mean did Brass say anything to you?  Can they really be from way back during the war?  I mean how would they even get here?"  She starts to ramble, rattling off question after question looking at Demi with expecting curious eyes.
[3/8/2014 2:46:47 AM]   // Roulette: Demi glanced over watching her braid her hair blushing slightly she was cute but when the questions begin to come is blush faded. " Brass did speak to me about her past and what had happened to her , And It seems Edge has a similar experience."   He paused.

He now looked away from her" It is possible they are from that time Caramel as to how I am unsure at this time." He gave her a weak smile. " If I figure it out i'll tell you , but that may take me time." He glanced away watching animals run about , it was quiet that night.

Demi slowly extended his Hoof outwards as a whoooo , could be heard as the flapping of wings as a white and brown owl landed on his forehoof thankfully his armored cloth protected his forearm as he looked over the small owl.

Demi blinked a few moments then smiled a bit seemed Brass was not kidding about Demi taking care of animals.

[3:00:27] <@Roulette> :: Game :: End ::
