FoE PnP Group Skyfall Session 20

[14:13:38] <Schorcht> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[14:13:42] <Schorcht> Morals.
[14:14:21] <Schorcht> Some ponies morals differ from the ones around them. One thing may seem right or ok to them, but ask the next pony over and it may completely different.
[14:15:21] <Schorcht> Some choices in life have moral consequences. And sometimes the ponies have to live with it the rest of their lives, and sometimes it can either come back to bite them in the ass or have beneficial aspects to it.
[14:16:29] <Schorcht> Our adventurers had just made a moral choice and already it's turned the Wasteland. How it has? That's something they may or may not come across. Why did they do it? Well, everyone has their reasons.
[14:16:37] <Schorcht> **Session Begins**
[14:17:57] <Schorcht> Convoy has run outside to his carts and started unloading crates and crates of food. The convoy he runs is rather well defended. Multiple Talon Mercs, a couple unicorns, and some rather impressive guns.
[14:18:38] Peace_ [[email protected]] joined the channel.
[14:18:41] <Schorcht> On the other hoof, the entire convoy of carts is being pulled by ponies who look malnourished, and slightly beaten. The numbers range close to a hundred.
[14:19:04] Bubblegum_Dreamer moves with his group, thinking. "Man I feel bad for the skinny fella, but hey, he needed some security, just a bit." He says.
[14:19:18] Bubblegum_Dreamer glances over the ponies and doesn't even bat an eyelash.
[14:21:12] Peace [[email protected]] has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[14:21:21] Peace_ is now known as Peace.
[14:22:46] DT looks over the food delivery process. "Yep, I don't think we'll have a problem with Convoy." He finds it hard to believe it's been over a year since he's looked like some of those slave ponies. If they want their freedom they'll have to take it themselves, like he did.
[14:23:09] Mouse stares at the choice she made and doesn't really seem phased by it. " It's a life choice. If you don't like it then fight and die. "
[14:23:50] Roulette who had left them earlier , had waited for them this time she would not wander far... She didn't need to get lost again. Roulette adjusted her shades over her eyes. watching what was unfolding with their new 'contract'
[14:25:37] Bubblegum_Dreamer nods slightly. "Well, I ain't holdin the collars, so It ain't on me
[14:25:43] DT looks around for Roulette. "Hey we need to find your new friend. She really shouldn't be walking around on her own."
[14:26:13] Bubblegum_Dreamer looks to Roulette. "That's your friend? The beautiful Princess?"
[14:26:57] Roulette nodded but didn't look at dt " yah I'll go do that" she said calmly as she turned to answer bubblegum" yep shes my friend" she gave a weak smile turning tail and began to go look for her friend Peace.
[14:27:16] Peace is walking around on her own. Exploring the facility.
[14:27:52] <Schorcht> Peace finds the place to be in poor condition and worker ponies working hard to try and fix the place up.
[14:28:26] DT moves to follow Roulette. He smirks at Bubblegum. "Who else would come back riding an alicorn with two numb legs?"
[14:29:10] Bubblegum_Dreamer chuckles. "No one else but Roulette."
[14:29:23] Peace suddenly realize, if she help them, they will like her! Eagerly Peace look around for something she can help with, she is pretty good with heavy lifting.
[14:30:19] <Schorcht> There are two ponies trying their best to lift a large piece of wood up to a pony on the second level. They just can't reach.
[14:31:02] Mouse falls out and follows the others flying above their heads.
[14:32:20] Roulette blushes a bit listening to the two following her. But it faded , she still was not pleased with their choice in contracts. only reason he used slaves and her mate use to be one who by chance got away.
[14:32:22] Peace smiles "Easy". Without announcing herself she picks up the wooden beam with TK and lift it.
[14:34:28] <Schorcht> The three ponies freeze in terror, watching Peace wide eyed. One of them on the ground darts off somewhere deeper into the building and the other just continues to be frozen. The one pony on the second level however takes the wood and blinks. He gives Peace a smile and heads to place the wood down and hammer in some nail.s
[14:35:11] <Schorcht> The fleeing pony runs past the rest of the group.
[14:35:16] <Schorcht> At full speed.
[14:35:58] Roulette blinks and sighs " who wants to bet Peace is a head?" she let a little giggle escape but worry set in and she began to trot the way the worker ran from.
[14:36:18] <Mouse> " Well that pony either found Peace or a fire." Mouse giggles.
[14:36:21] DT shares a look with the rest of the group. "When trying to find a monster..." He picks up the pace in the direction the ponies are running away from.
[14:39:06] Peace_ [[email protected]] joined the channel.
[14:39:44] Peace [[email protected]] has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[14:40:57] Peace_ can't help but to grin at the smile she got. Not concerning herself with the ponies who flee.
[14:41:32] DT moves along the factory until he can spot the alicorn. At least she wasn't carving up workers. "Oi! You really shouldn't wander off Peace."
[14:42:03] Bubblegum_Dreamer nods as he spots PEace as well. "Indeed, a Princess shouldn't do any heavy lifting." He smiles softly.
[14:43:57] Roulette looks to peace and smiles waving to her " you having fun exploring ?" she asked happily her mood changing a bit as she trots over to her almost bouncing with each step. " soooo make any more friends?" she asks tilting her head to the side abit,
[14:44:12] Mouse rolls eyes at Bubble. "You try too hard you know. The more you try the more desperate you look. Just relax and the mares will come to you."
[14:45:11] Bubblegum_Dreamer rolls his eyes. "In my time all alicorns were princesses, so give me a little leeway."
[14:45:14] Peace_ turns around at being called by name. "Oh, Hello Dee-Tee!" she spots the dashing pony besides him "oh, hello there Bubblegum Dreamer..."
[14:45:24] <Schorcht> The other pony who just stared wandered off shaking her head in disbelief.
[14:45:31] Bubblegum_Dreamer smiles and bows. "Why hello Peace."
[14:45:59] <Peace_> "I was.. I was just looking around and trying to help.." She says looking into the ground.
[14:47:18] RAD_Alicorn [[email protected]] joined the channel.
[14:47:30] RAD_Alicorn is now known as Peace.
[14:49:59] Bubblegum_Dreamer smiles happily. "And I'm sure the others appreciate it, but such a beautiful pony of princess caliber as yourself working is not necessary." He says happily.
[14:50:13] Peace_ [[email protected]] has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[14:51:19] DT speaks rather bluntly after Bubblegum. "And you're scaring the workers so you'll have to stay with us while you're here. Nopony has seen you here before!"
[14:51:27] Peace Does not know what to do, so she cast her invisibility spell instead.
[14:51:35] Peace disappears
[14:52:02] Bubblegum_Dreamer blinks a few times. "Oh." He says softly.
[14:52:49] Mouse flies about upside down playing with hooves getting used to the feeling of them.
[14:53:06] Roulette gave peace a smile before glancing to bubblegum then Dee-tee " Most seen her last night when she brought me in and i'm sure I gave a warning not to harm her." she nodded a bit but turned noticing peace was gone..... " Peace where you go?" she asks questionably.
[14:56:24] Peace might not be visible, but she is not exactly silent. The loud noise of hooves disappear of towards the entrance of the building.
[14:58:38] Bubblegum_Dreamer makes his way towards the sound. "Oh it's such a shame a thing of beauty has disappeared." He smirks.
[14:58:42] Roulette blinks a few times and slowly bends downwards mimicking a cat stalking prey as she moves after the noise" hide and seek" she giggled.
[14:59:30] DT groans. "Why...I just said..." He follows the rest of them towards the entrance.
[15:01:45] Brittle shrugs and goes with the others. Or follows them. Or has been following them. One of those. "I am sure she will turn up on her own sooner and later."
[15:02:02] <Schorcht> As Bubblegum_Dreamer moves through the facility some of the mares begin to blush and give him small waves before giggling among themselves happily. He gets the same reaction from to bucks too.
[15:02:03] Mouse giggles at the situation and continues touching things trying to figure out her new body.
[15:02:37] <Schorcht> Vanilla nuzzles Brittle and follows him.
[15:03:39] Bubblegum_Dreamer gives winks and blows kisses happily to everypony.
[15:04:43] <Schorcht> Soon enough they find Peace back on the soccer field sitting there, soaking in the sun.
[15:06:07] Bubblegum_Dreamer moves by and sits down next to her. "Heya."
[15:07:16] Peace light up her horn, about to cast a spell once again before halting herself.. "heh- hey there."
[15:07:26] Mouse looks up to the sun seeing it. "I never thought about it, but what was it like the first time you guys saw the sun?"
[15:08:13] Bubblegum_Dreamer smiles softly. He looks to Mouse and chuckles. "It felt like a cloudy day had finally ended... It made me feel... young again." He says. "200 years of being undead and not seeing the sun doesn't help a mood too much."
[15:09:26] <Schorcht> The clouds blow back over and the sun disappears behind its iron curtain, bringing back the filtered light again, making the world seem darker once again.
[15:09:41] DT sits as well, hoof rubbing his temple. "Please don't make us track you down again."
[15:11:56] <Peace> "I.. what do you mean?" she answers DT
[15:12:07] <Mouse> "I hated when I came under the clouds and couldn
[15:12:28] <Mouse> couldn't see the sun anymore." She holds her hoof to the sun.
[15:14:40] Bubblegum_Dreamer glances at the clouds and whistles. "Speak of the devil."
[15:18:17] DT waves a frantic hoof. "No more invisibility." DT casts an odd glance at the rest of them and continues. "It's just the sun. Anyways...Do you really think you could get into the Milkmare's place Bubble?"
[15:19:12] Brittle shrugs at the sun question. "It didn't change much...made things warmer? Was pleasant though."
[15:19:46] <Mouse> Mouse sighs and looks to the others. " Remembering what happened when we snuck in here I doubt it. Fucking stepping in buckets and all the noisest shit possible." Giggles.
[15:20:38] Bubblegum_Dreamer smiles and nods. "Oh I know I could." He says before thinking a little bit. "I'd be way more successful if I had a Stealth Buck, but I can do it."
[15:20:51] <Peace> "Yeah, that sun was nice, it made all the colours beautiful."
[15:21:26] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "But I was saying more along the lines of I could talk my way in." He smiles.
[15:22:54] DT nods. "Right then we're burning daylight. We could still make Trottingham if we leave soon."
[15:23:27] Bubblegum_Dreamer looks to Peace for a moment. "Can she come with? I'm sure Trottingham has seen nice Alicorns by now."
[15:23:27] <Mouse> "Oh she'll let you talk alright. Talk your way into a nice set of hoof cuffs on a conveyor belt to be skinned into a nice milk carrying bag." She smirks
[15:23:30] <Peace> "Trottingham?"
[15:26:03] Bubblegum_Dreamer flips his mane at Mouse. "I'm sorry." He smirks. "Last time I checked, the Milk Mare is a female, correct?" He asks.
[15:27:21] Mouse nods at that. "True she might let you touch those overinflated balloons. I hope they pop." She giggles.
[15:28:15] <DT> "Yeah Trottingham. It's a fun place. I don't see why you couldn't come with us Peace."
[15:29:03] Bubblegum_Dreamer rolls his eyes. "Easiest way to learn the secrets is play the lover." He says. "I read it in a few books." He smiles at Peace. "See! You get to come hang with us." He moves up and bumps her lightly. "Get to hang out with me especially!"
[15:29:33] <Mouse> "I have nothing against the alicorn coming along." Waves a hoof.
[15:29:40] Peace smirks. "I like fun!" She stands up. "When we leaving?"
[15:30:39] <Brittle> "If she wants to follow us, I say welcome."
[15:30:56] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Right about now I believe." He looks around. "Unless theres more business we need to handle."
[15:34:16] <DT> "Sounds good. Let's head out then." Takes the lead position and moves out.
[15:35:09] Mouse fallos out behind DT.
[15:36:00] Peace trots up to DT and walk by his side and start asking him questions about Trottingham. "Is there ponies there? What kind of fun? Who is that milkmare you talked about?" etc.
[15:38:07] <Schorcht> About three hours later the group reaches the edges of Trottingham.
[15:40:18] <DT> 'Of course there...Drinking and fight..." DT fights the urge to twitch. "You know who really knows all about it? Mouse she's right over there." He points the the pegasus and slinks away.
[15:41:56] Bubblegum_Dreamer smiles as they reach the edges of Trottingham before looking around. "Alright, so what exact info do we need?"
[15:43:41] <DT> "Everything you can get us on Skyfall. What were you thinking? The rest of us can go in and ask to see her directly."
[15:44:12] Bubblegum_Dreamer nods slightly. "You all do that." He says happily
[15:44:40] <Mouse> "It's a gross place in my mind. They make milk there. The most vile shit ever. That's all i know of the town minus the arena. It's a town I have no care for." She laughs. "I want the thing to burn by celestia's sun. Be purified of that disgusting shit and those oversized fucking sweater bowling balls. The milk mare could knock you out with her things."poofs out cheeks to make a point of how big they are.
[15:45:35] Peace listens attentively to Mouse and absorb her knowledge and wisdom on Trottingham.
[15:45:35] Bubblegum_Dreamer grits his teeth. "Can you at least not talk about your hatred of breasts so loud?" He asks. "Some of us like them..."
[15:46:35] <Mouse> "I like them too but those aren't breasts! They are oversized raptors stuck on a pony." She laughs.
[15:47:43] DT raises an eyebrow. "And what do you plan on doing in there?" DT ignores the comparison of teats to giant airships.
[15:47:45] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "It's a gene." He says. "I knew the original mare who had those assets. She was a very kind pony." He says with his nose up.
[15:48:04] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Who me? What I do best. Steal and lie."
[15:51:35] <Mouse> "They can be the nicest pony ever. But shoving those things!! those massive flapjacks! in any ponies vicinity. which those get in everypones space then it becomes just rude."
[15:52:14] <Schorcht> Vanilla frowns a little bit.
[15:52:33] DT trots on to the Milk mare's place. "Be vague then..." He then realizes he's the only one who wasn't there and has no idea how to get there. He turns to Mouse, "Can you stop complaining turkey and lead us there?"
[15:53:40] Mouse giggles and flies upside down. "Okays. This a Way." Smiles.
[15:54:10] Bubblegum_Dreamer frowns more at Mouse. "Okay I'm sorry. I'll be sure to complain next time you get your wings anywhere near me." He says. "I mean those are pretty big, should I hate them because I don't have them?"
[15:55:15] Brittle sighs. "This conversation went off into a place it shouldn't very quickly."
[15:57:00] <Mouse> "My wings are the size they should be and I'm not jealous. I like my mareness." She smiles and looks at Brittle. "I do apologize to Vanilla but that's my honest feeling. "
[15:59:24] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Let's just drop it. I still think big is beautiful." He says glancing to Peace and winking.
[16:02:19] Peace blush and smile shyly into the ground at the comment. "So.. Where's the fun at?"
[16:02:27] <Schorcht> Vanilla shrugs. "Mine have gotten more perky lately. Probably because of the taint..."
[16:03:03] DT mumbles, "Yeah let's keep it that way Bubble..."
[16:03:54] Bubblegum_Dreamer bounces over to DT. "What was that DT?" He asks with a smirk.
[16:05:57] DT smirks right back. "Nothing nothing. You just keep liking big things. And thats it."
[16:06:41] Bubblegum_Dreamer blinks and tilts his head. "Mind telling me what you're insinuating?"
[16:08:15] Brittle rolls his eyes.
[16:09:14] Mouse giggles. "Roulette is small so you can't like her."
[16:10:54] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Well i can't exactly be attracted to her. Nothing says others can't like me." He chuckles and moves back. "Anyways, let's go ahead and handle this thing." He says.
[16:11:39] Mouse nods and flies off towards the factory at full speed.
[16:11:56] Bubblegum_Dreamer rolls his eyes and starts to gallop with Mouse.
[16:13:00] <Schorcht> Vanilla shakes her head. "These ponies"
[16:13:37] <Brittle> "Yep."
[16:13:55] DT snorts and gallops on. What was that supposed to mean anyway?! DT finds it hard to grumble and gallop at the same time.
[16:14:36] Peace is confused.. But she takes into air and take up the chase.
[16:24:40] <Schorcht> As the group travels through Trottingham all the day time ponies run and flee in terror from Peace and soon the streets are empty, save the rough looking ponies eyeing Peace. Brittle, however can notice a pony in black power armour on the roof of Tipsy's eyeing the group as a whole.
[16:25:44] Bubblegum_Dreamer smiles and pats Peace's butt. "Ah good job. Those stiffs are annoying."
[16:25:57] Brittle glances upward, but tries not to outwardly show that he saw them. He whispers, "I think there is an Enclave pony on the roof. Definitely someone watching us."
[16:28:56] Mouse looks up to where Brittle is looking and spots the Enclave. She remembers being one of them and frowns turning back. "Let's go. Let them follow. I''ll kill anyone of them who comes near me."
[16:29:24] Bubblegum_Dreamer nods lightly. "No problem."
[16:29:28] Peace squeeks and jump a bit on the buttslap. "What?" She looks at Bubblegum.
[16:29:59] DT slows and turns to Brittle. "What? Which roof?" DT doesn't take any chances and makes sure his guns are loaded.
[16:30:42] Brittle motions towards the roof of Tipsy's. "Pony in black power armor."
[16:31:40] Bubblegum_Dreamer looks back. "The ponies that ran away, I don't quite like them, and they all don't like you. So you're awesome in my book now!"
[16:32:07] <Schorcht> The pony slowly backs behind the cover of the roof and disappears.
[16:33:26] DT growls as he watches the Enclave pony back off. "You could teleport me and you up there yeah? We could take him. He's all alone."
[16:34:56] <Peace> "I'd like it more if they didn't scream and run."
[16:35:19] Bubblegum_Dreamer waves his hoof. "I've been used to that reaction. I used to be a ghoul." He says with a smile.
[16:36:31] <Mouse> "He's not you idiot." Growls at DT. "Don't ever underestimate them. That's how they kill you. They are all around us." She smiles. "All they need is for us to split apart and then we'll fall one by one. They aren't just some raiders who just care about the blood shed. These are ponies on a mission. They will complete that mission or die tryin and I'm thinking they don't want to die."
[16:37:02] <Peace> "..Yeah, it happens. But I still prefer ponies who stay and talk... wait, ghoul?" Peace look at Bubblegum_Dreamer in disbelief.
[16:37:41] Brittle looks at the distance. "Maybe...it might be too far...I could try, but Mouse makes a good point."
[16:37:57] Bubblegum_Dreamer nods lightly and smiles. He twirls and lifts his tail lightly, showing a bit of flank for the alicorn. "Long story short, same thing happened to you, happened to me. I took a dip in taint, and I grew up and stopped being a ghoul."
[16:39:40] DT grits his teeth. "He's still just a pony...we pop up and the rest of you fly. If we get one we'll have the upper hoof...but it's probably too late now." He turns to walk, eyes peeled on the sky. "I just can't stand being stalked like this..."
[16:40:57] Brittle nods. "I'm sure I can make it...next one we see, I can get us to them."
[16:41:00] <Peace> "oh.. okay... Well I wasn't a ghoul ever. Im just Peace. If I was something before I was Peace I don't remember."
[16:42:42] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "We always were something before what we are now." He says cryptically before smirking. "Anyways I like the new me. The old me was still in that goddess awful foal body."
[16:43:18] Mouse laughs. "Get used to it. They've been stalking us for awhile now I'm assuming. The feeling never goes away for me. Even if you kill one there's another to take their fallen brothers place and p.s. if you kill one the next one will be more pissed off at you." She giggles.
[16:50:37] <Schorcht> The group keeps on keeping on and soon arrives at the heavily armed, guarded checkpoint before the entrance to the building. Their guns are instantly drawn to Peace. "Get the fuck out of here"
[16:52:41] <Peace> "...I don't think they want me here."
[16:52:42] DT walks up to the guards. "Call up your boss. Tell her the merc's that knocked out her competitor Iron Mill are here to see her."
[16:53:24] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Alicorn ain't hostile guys." He steps in front of them. "Hell her name is even Peace."
[16:53:46] Peace nods "I'm Peace!"
[16:55:36] <Schorcht> One of the guard snorts. "I met a mare by the name of Mercy once. She had none." He says deadpan. "I'll have The Milkmare a call..." The other ponies keep their guns trained on Peace.
[16:56:16] Mouse floats above the others and giggles at what the guard said. "Sounds right."She snickers clapping all four hooves together. I love backwards names."
[16:56:37] Bubblegum_Dreamer whistles lightly. "Yeah, I mean my name's Bubblegum, And I fucking hate that shit."
[16:56:49] DT snorts and walks in between them and Peace. He glares daggers at them.
[16:57:55] Brittle eyes the guards calmly. "They didn't shoot on sight. That's something."
[16:59:44] Peace enjoys this immensely for some reason and can't help but to smile and look around at the guards.
[16:59:56] <Schorcht> The pony nods. "Alright. Ya'll can see her. Cept the Alicorn. She either has to be shackled or doesn't go..."
[17:03:37] <Mouse> "Peace's choice on that one." Mouse says waving a hoof waiting for the others.
[17:04:32] Peace shrugs "Okay, shackles then I guess."
[17:06:47] DT groans. "Oh for fucks sake...Does she want us to work for her or not?" He does grin at Peace though. "Any of you chuckleheads actually have shackles?" He asks the guards.
[17:08:53] <Schorcht> The guards nod and pull out multiple shackles and lock up her wings. He turns and starts to dig through the armoury. "Now where is that bomb collar..." he humms to himself.
[17:09:32] <Peace> "Bo-bomb.. collar?"
[17:11:34] <DT> "No way are we putting a bomb collar on her. You already did way more than you needed to."
[17:12:06] <Schorcht> He finally pulls out a collar with a blinking red light. "Ah! Here we are!" He smiles and give it a kiss. "What a beauty" He turns to DT. "Just gotta keep the monster from killing us all is all." He smirks.
[17:12:57] <Peace> "No, youre not putting on that."
[17:13:24] Brittle steps forward. "I believe you said she had to wear shackles. Nothing about a collar was mentioned. She has shackles on. That should be enough."
[17:14:05] <Schorcht> "Ah! But this is part of the shackles. Unless... you don't want to go in anymore?" She says with a purposefully dumb look.
[17:14:18] <Schorcht> (He)
[17:16:20] DT steps forward and presses his forehead against the other buck. "You're going to have more monsters if you don't put it away."
[17:17:14] Peace signs "DT, dont bother, if she dont want to see me, there is no point for me to go anyway."
[17:20:47] <Schorcht> "Just taking precautions!" He presses back
[17:20:48] Mouse sighs and looks at the others a bomb collar was going too far.
[17:21:32] <DT> "And you really think they'll be so 'civil' when we're not here? As soon as we go they'll shoot you." He glares back to the guard. "You wanna be the one to explain to the milkmare why her merc's were turned away? Get back on the phone and tell her if she wants things dealt with she'll talk to all of us."
[17:27:12] <Schorcht> "And she will, so long as her terms are met" He nods.
[17:30:06] DT snorts in his face before turning and walking back to the group. "Any ideas?"
[17:30:45] <Peace> "I told ya. If she dont wanna meet me, to bad for her. Ill be fine on my own, there is nothing these guys could do to me anyway."
[17:32:43] Mouse whispers in Peace's ear. "How long can you stay invisible for?" She gets an evil smile.
[17:33:47] Peace glances at Mouse but does not answer her question.
[17:34:01] DT looks uncertain. "This place...I mean are you sure? It's dangerous."
[17:34:55] Peace straighten her posture up and glance down at DT with an unamused look.
[17:38:03] DT sighs. "Just take these damn things off her then. The rest of us will go in."
[17:38:56] Peace soften up and smile. "They were too tight anyway, was giving me the owies."
[17:39:19] Mouse flies in circles. " Let's go. LEt's go!" She gets restless.
[17:40:12] <Schorcht> The pony nods and removes the shackles. All the guns return to become pointed at Peace.
[17:41:58] <Schorcht> Vanilla sticks as close as she can to Brittle and tires to look nonchalant.
[17:42:47] <Peace> "See you later!" Peace says, she turn around to walk away from the nasty ponies. Unfold her wings and with a single move she takes into the air and activate her invisibility spell.
[17:42:58] Brittle nuzzles her a bit reassuringly, keeping an eye on the guards.
[17:44:53] DT gives the bomb collar guard a shove. "She's gone now take us to the Milkmare."
[17:45:38] <Schorcht> The guards gasp and start chattering among themselves. The main guard pony nods. "This way"
[17:46:07] <Mouse> "Finally." She gasps. " I'm going to die of boredom one of theese days." She giggles.
[17:47:13] DT follows!
[17:49:06] Brittle follows DT.
[17:51:32] <Schorcht> The group is led through the building to The Milkmares office where is she is typing into a computer. "Ah! My hard little workers have returned! My guards say you've killed off Iron Mill. Way to go. Now I can't wait to get my hooves on his mares and take good care of them" She smiles.
[17:53:56] DT takes a step forward. "You must be the Milkmare then. My friends tell me that you have the information we need. On Skyfall."
[17:57:03] Peace flies in a big circle and land on a nearby rooftop, giving her a good view of the entrance... and sit down there., still cloaked.
[17:58:02] <Schorcht> "That I can" She smiles. "Only if you take down the other factories like I asked, and give me the milkmares to take care of" She turns off her computer and sits back in her chair,
[18:01:24] DT nods. "That was the contract, to bring down Iron Mill and Stud Muffin. So you plan to simply gut the factories for the milkmares? Seems very...wasteful to simply abandon the other factories. And I heard you were the business mare responsible for creating this whole town."
[18:02:20] Mouse stays silent knowing she'll fuck this negociation up or just hand over the factory.
[18:05:27] <Schorcht> "I have more than enough room in my Stable for them and the faculties are more accommodated for them than any filthy makeshift milking station" She nods slowly.
[18:10:33] <DT> "I couldn't care less what you do with them but some would rather stay. Not to mention the other business the two run with the rest of the ponies makes a lot of caps. I thought you wanted to take over more than a few mares."
[18:13:20] Mouse looks around the room making sure to be alert. "We proved we could take one factory. You think we could have the value of the mares in caps to gear up for the next factory?" She says tilting her head not really caring about the factory. She raises her hoof. "If you notice it came with a price to get that factory."
[18:13:57] <Schorcht> "I care not for their frivolous fronts for their milking stations. If I hold all the milk I control the town. Who needs caps to pay off the town when they just follow my word for free?" She smirks. "You make yourselves sound really soft. Like you care more for them then the Skyfall information." She tilts her head to Mouse and humms.
[18:15:20] <Schorcht> "I could spare a bit of gear, but nothing worth the weight of the mares. Information on Skyfall is much more valuable than anything you know."
[18:15:41] <Mouse> "Alright." Mouse nods.
[18:17:52] <DT> "So why don't you tell me what you want then? Something as simple as a monopoly on milk? I don't really buy it." He steps forward. "I was hoping since we showed you we can get results...we could make this a more permanent employment. Let us run the other factories for you."
[18:27:01] <Schorcht> The Milkmare laughs. "I don't want my things to be outsourced, sorry. If anything I have ponies for that. You're just mercs for Skyfall. I understand." She smiles. "I want a united Trottingham is all. Is that so bad?"
[18:27:46] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Yes." He says lightly, leaning back. "Trust me, I saw a united Trottingham."
[18:30:59] <DT> "Unity? Very well. We came to let you know Iron Mill is dead, Stud won't be long behind. I was hoping you would give us something that proves your info is valid, since we went through the trouble of doing have your work on just your word."
[18:33:28] <Schorcht> "My word not good for you? Fine" She shrugs. "Then you don't get anything"
[18:34:38] Mouse thoughts drift off feeling like she's in the Enclave again. Doing things without any promise as to whats at the end of the tunnel. She smiles missing that feeling. " I'll take her word. I'm not happy with it but she's our only lead . Skyfall matters more than anything."
[18:34:51] Bubblegum_Dreamer whistles lightly. "Cool then." He says shrugging. "If you have info, you can't do shit with it. Besides, how do we know you have actual info?"
[18:36:00] DT frowns. "Tch. All we're asking for is something. We're on the same side here. We helped you, we were hoping you could help us."
[18:38:05] <Schorcht> "Oh I can use it. And if I share things I won't know you'll continues. It's just business" She smiles softly.
[18:40:05] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "You see, yes it's business." He smirks. "It's good business, even better buisness if you're just lying. Because if you are, we can't do shit."
[18:42:00] <Schorcht> She waves a hoof. "Just a risk you'll be running yes? But don't let me remind you, that you came to me. Not the other way around"
[18:43:39] DT just grunts and sits back with the rest of them. "I'm glad we had this chit chat. Whenever we're all ready we'll get out of your mane then...."
[18:43:49] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "I came for no one. I'm hanging around and helping where I can." He stops and thinks a bit. "Hey, you wouldn't happen to have living records of stable occupants from early on?" He asks, stepping up.
[18:45:19] <Schorcht> "Of course I do deary. It'll cost you some work, but that's nothing I'll share for free" She smiles and leans back into her chair some more.
[18:45:58] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "What if a family member were to ask for info on their own family?" He asks.
[18:47:24] <Schorcht> She shakes her head. "Sorry. Information is never truly free"
[18:47:53] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Alright, what's the job." He asks, looking over her.
[18:49:07] <Schorcht> "I'll think of something hun. Come back later" She smiles brightly.
[18:49:26] Bubblegum_Dreamer nods and shrugs. "Whatever you say." He nods and starts to make his way out.
[18:50:00] DT moves out as well, gritting his teeth in frustration.
[18:53:01] Mouse looks at milkmare. "What about that gear?" She says wondering.
[18:54:25] <Schorcht> "Bring the milkmares to the front door and I'll have Checkpoint give you appropriate gear" She nods. "If that's all I got things to do. See you when it's done."
[18:55:13] Mouse nods and falls out.
[18:57:35] DT walks out onto the street, away from the guards before muttering. "What a bitch. Not that we have much choice." He sighs and looks to the rest of them. "Sorry, I thought I might be able to talk SOMETHING out of her."
[18:58:24] <Schorcht> Vanilla shrugs. "Someponies are just smart. Some are also good at bluffing."
[18:58:36] <Mouse> "No worry about it. I figured it would go that way." Shakes head not caring.
[18:59:14] Brittle nods. "She does not seem the type to compromise often."
[18:59:19] Peace glides down from her perch and appears in front of the group. "You all look awfully glum for having fun!"
[19:00:26] DT drags a hoof over his face. "I'd rather not turn the mares over to her. Running that place could make us a lot of caps and we're going to need them if we have to compete with the Enclave..." He turns and gives a weak smile to Peace. "Yeah it gets a lot more fun after the sun goes down."
[19:01:13] Mouse pulls out a whiskey bottle. "This is the fun of this town she laughs. "And we can drink till the sun rises then talk about it more. To Tipsys!"
[19:06:14] <Peace> "So, this Tipsys, where is it? If you show me I can turn up there when the sun sets and Ill go look around for a spell."
[19:07:05] DT chuckles at Mouse. "Ever been drinking and dancing Peace? If you need something we can help you find it."
[19:08:16] <Peace> "Yeah, I drink all the time when i get thirsty."
[19:08:57] Mouse snickers at dt. "His dancing is like a hellhound at a bunny party. It's a massacre."
[19:10:11] Peace flinch a bit at that description, dancing does not sound like a nice activity.
[19:10:47] DT narrows his eyes at Mouse. "You've never seen me dance turkey. Why don't you give some of your whiskey to Peace then. See what she thinks."
[19:11:16] <Mouse> Mouse giggles at the flinching peace and the angry dt tossing the bottle to Peace.
[19:11:56] Peace grabs the bottle and look at it. "whiskey?"
[19:12:20] <Mouse> "Yup yup. Enjoy it. Best shit in the waste." She laughs.
[19:12:23] Peace uncorks the bottle and start drinking it like it was soda...
[19:12:38] DT snickers but holds out a hoof. "Just a little bit though. Nice and slow."
[19:13:24] Mouse giggles. "No no. CHUG!!!!"
[19:14:14] Peace frowns as the liquor reach her taste-buds and almost spit some of it out. She stops drinking but already downed a glass worth of it.
[19:14:44] <Peace> "Blerch! thats disgusting!"
[19:15:21] Mouse rolls around in the air dieing laughing. "That was priceless. " Puts hoof out for the bottle back.
[19:15:45] <Brittle> "People generally don't drink for the taste."
[19:16:09] DT grins. "Yeah that's how it's supposed to taste. It gets better."
[19:16:23] Peace looks at everypony like they are mad.
[19:16:46] <Mouse> "You drink for the feeling of numbness and happiness. The whole world melts away glass by glass and turns into a glorious fun land." She giggles.
[19:17:25] Peace pulls out a bottle of Brawndo, The Thirst Mutilator!™ and start chugging it, trying to get rid of the aftertaste.
[19:18:35] Mouse takes the bottle of whiskey and takes a chug of it handing it to DT.
[19:20:48] <DT> "Hey she even brought her own chaser." He turns to Brittle. "So you've been pretty quiet. Do you think we should turn over the milkmares?" DT waves off the alcohol for now.
[19:21:41] <Brittle> "I doubt it would earn us friends and would practically ruin our chances of running our own dispensary."
[19:22:43] <Brittle> "We would get the Milkmare on our side or at least she'd like us a bit more. That does not seem to be a small thing."
[19:22:47] <Peace> "Turn over? Do you guys have the authority to do that?"
[19:24:26] <DT> "Can't sell milk without mares...If we wait we can get stronger and try to get it another...more direct way. But it might take too much time." DT turns to Peace. "Yeah but I don't really want to."
[19:26:38] Peace shrugs "Then don't."
[19:28:10] DT sighs. "She has something we need to get. She promised to give it to us if we do what she wants. We...don't have much of a choice."
[19:29:40] <Peace> "Something you need.. You seem like a pony who got the things he need already?"
[19:30:06] <Peace> "I mean, you got friends, and food and..."
[19:33:39] <Mouse> "SKyfall is what we need. We must protect equestria from it." She says bluntly. "Skyfall if it falls into the wrong hands could destroy equestria."
[19:35:03] <Peace> "...oh, so youre like on a quest?"
[19:35:03] DT blinks and sits. "We already gave up too much to not see this through. This thing we want...Skyfall. It's...its just something." DT sounds as if he's trying to convince himself more than anypony else.
[19:36:17] <Mouse> "Pretty much."Mouse shrugs.
[19:37:11] <Peace> "..That sounds.. like super exciting!" Peace starts ranting "And this mare knows something about this and she want you to give her some of the mares in the ironmill? The mothers of those foals I played kick-the-ball with but you don't wanna do that because it would make you feel bad and DT is a nice pony and cares about others.."
[19:38:50] <Brittle> "Yes. It has become rather complicated."
[19:41:24] DT shakes his head to get rid of his far off look. He grunts. "Sorry but I'm not. I only care about me, that it. I don't want to give them up because they give me a cushy job. I could give up the whole Skyfall chase right now and just run the factory."
[19:43:35] Peace bats her eyes in disbelief. "So that is the plan?"
[19:46:10] Mouse looks at DT but doesn't blame him." I don't care what you do. I'm going after skyfall, but let me make it clear. I will do whatever it takes to get it. I don't ever give up on my missions."
[19:46:51] DT words catch in his throat. "I-I don't know...If we push this we'd be risking everything. And each other." He looks to Brittle and Vanilla. Finally Mouse. "What do you think we should do now?"
[19:47:44] <Schorcht> Vanilla speaks up. "You can give her the mares. That's just wrong. They deserve better" she nods.
[19:49:01] <Mouse> "sacrifice the few for the greater good. If skyfall kills us all what does any of it matter. At Least we have a shot to save everypony." She says.
[19:49:33] DT gives Vanilla a serious look. "Which means the Milkmare will either come after us or we have to go after her to get the Skyfall info. Which means Brittle might die. We all might."
[19:50:18] Brittle shrugs. "That was a risk from the beginning. I sincerely doubt that the Milkmare is the best boss out there and there is a chance she will just kill us as soon as we're done with what she wants."
[19:50:55] <Peace> "I know I'm not really a part of this, but can I make a suggestion?"
[19:52:08] DT gives Peace a weary chuckle. "You saved Roulette. Yeah you can."
[19:52:22] <Mouse> "They don't die under her care. They just get treated badly. If they don't like it then they can stand up and fight against it. Refuse to do the job. Die or be a slave. I'm tired of ponies saying oh it sucks they are a slave. I ran from the fucking Enclave. I'm a slave to my government and I fought for my freedom. I'm still fighting and I will continue to fight till I can't breath! Ponies need to stop being so fucking soft. We aren'
[19:52:43] <Mouse> We aren't foals. Stand up and be an adult!!!!! Fight for what you believe in!"
[19:53:43] <Peace> "She has an excessive amount of guards on display in the middle of the day, they are there to intimidate. She would not do something like that if she doesn't fear anything. She must have many enemies.... you just need to figure out what she fears and you could use that.."
[19:54:40] Brittle glares at Mouse. "They were tired, broken, and thought they had no chance. Not everyone is as strong as you and telling people to just stand up and fight is expecting them to have the same power as you do which they don't. They don't have the training, the weapons, or the resolve that we do."
[19:56:19] <Mouse> "IT doesn't matter. Then die trying. You can't bitch about life when you won't stand up and fight for it! If you just give up and let them beat you, you're dead already. I will gladly die at the hands of the Enclave as long as I didn't give up." She says.
[19:57:38] <Brittle> "And if you spent a good portion of your life beaten down by someone you had no chance of defeating? Who made if very clear that they saw you as worthless and would kill you soon as you protested?"
[19:58:05] <Mouse> "I would rather the bullet to the head. " Mouse says bluntly.
[19:58:11] DT nods and turns to Mouse. "WE could fight Mouse. Us...you talked to Stud Muffin right? Do you think he could help us?"
[19:58:35] <Brittle> "They aren't you. Deal with it."
[20:01:44] Mouse turns to DT. "No he won't help us. We'd have to do it on our own." Turns back to Brittle and dead stares. "Then they are the reason Equestria is in this state. Above the clouds this shit doesn't exist. We had a civil society, through government ruled we weren't at eachothers throats."
[20:02:26] <Brittle> "I'm glad clean water, food, and not having a land full of hostile mutants worked out so well for you."
[20:06:38] Peace takes this opportunity to gauge the onlookers reactions... which amounts to her and Vanilla...
[20:06:47] DT sighs not really wanting to take sides in the argument. They were both right. Instead he asked Vanilla. "Would you know anyone else who might have a grudge against the Milkmare? Anything at all we might be able to use to get an edge on her?"
[20:07:17] <Schorcht> The streets are still very empty, but the odd folks who are there chat in groups and throw glances at the alicorn now and again.
[20:08:25] <Schorcht> Vanilla shakes her head. "Not here. They've either been beaten into submission or left" She gives a shrug.
[20:09:49] <Mouse> "What happened when ponies stood up against the Enclave. They won right!Where is that fight!! I killed my own for this waste Brittle. What do they do? Just fall right back into old habits. What does it make a difference if ponies won't continue to fight the good fight?" She growls. "I'm done fighting about this. If they won't stand up and fight themselves they become the pawns of those who will. " Mouse says annoyed. "They alread
[20:10:06] <Mouse> Mouse says annoyed. "They already gave up, what does it matter who does the beating?"
[20:10:46] <Brittle> "Well we might as well start beating them ourselves if that's how you're going to think of it!"
[20:11:28] Peace nods as she and one of the onlookers make eye contact. And turn back to her group. "They are not giving up, I saw ponies who were working to build up the ruins they were forced to live in, I saw foals playing. They are fighting, but not with guns."
[20:15:30] <Mouse> "That's not fighting. That's just being blind. Hoping someone will save you. It's pathetic." She laughs. "When I saw ponies fighting when the cloud cover went down I was like wow but now it's like it never happened."
[20:16:46] <Peace> "Soldiers need food, soldiers need fortifications, soldiers need something to fight for... as much as I hate it, Im a bred soldier, and ponies like these are the only thing I would fight for."
[20:22:27] DT sighs. "Theres no point arguing over it in the street, ponies. IF we are not going to give up the milkmares, then we are going to fight a much harder foe. So we'll need every scrap of information and every ally we can get. And we'd need to do it fast. If she figures out we aren't on her side anymore it'll be hard to move around Trottingham."
[20:26:26] Mouse nods. "Let's just do something."
[20:29:41] <Brittle> "You're right. We should see what options we have before arguing over them."
[20:32:47] <DT> "So then..." He looks to the assembled ponies. "Who do we know? Our options for information are Tipsy, Moxxi or Stud Muffin. Anypony else?"
[20:32:48] <Schorcht> Vanilla nods and stays quiet next to Brittle.
[20:35:47] <Schorcht> Vanilla opens her mouth. "Well you can always try to find He
[20:36:30] <Schorcht> Vanilla opens her mouth. "Well you can always try to find He Who Listens. But that might be a feat in itself..." She trails off.
[20:37:32] DT raises an eyebrow. "He Who Listens? Who is that?"
[20:38:16] <Brittle> "Probably someone fond of eavesdropping."
[20:39:48] <Mouse> "He who listens. What the fuck is that?" Looks oddly at vanilla.
[20:41:21] <Schorcht> "He Who Listens is the biggest information dealer in the Wastes. If you want to know something or get the lead to know something someone else doesn't. You go see He Who Listens." She nods with confirmation.
[20:43:33] DT grins. "Why are you so awesome huh? That sounds perfect!" He stands up straight with renewed vigor. "Alright so does he have a shop or something we can visit? Just point the way."
[20:45:26] <Schorcht> Vanilla frowns. "That's the problem. He's said to live in Rover City. It's almost harder to find than Paradise City."
[20:46:56] Mouse sighs not really knowing the land at all under the clouds still. "I haven't heard of either of those."
[20:48:51] <Schorcht> Vanilla takes a deep breath. "Well Paradise City is said to be a legend. A place where all your dreams come true! Where there is everything you could want, if they don't have it they'll get it." She lets out a smile and a shudder. "Rover City is true. It's a city on wheel... or rather treads."
[20:49:37] DT hmms and starts moving. "Well somepony HAS to know where it is. We just have to find them."
[20:49:40] Brittle raises an eyebrow. "As in, the city can move?"
[20:52:21] <Mouse> "Time is a factor here." She says reminding them of skyfall.
[20:52:24] <Schorcht> Vanilla smiles to Brittle. "Ooo~ You're smart too~"
[20:52:46] <Brittle> "That's incredible."
[20:55:09] <DT> "A moving city does sound impressive...So should we check Tipsy or Moxi's bar. Really theres no place better to get info than with bartenders."
[20:56:40] <Mouse> "Alright. Let's find this fun city." Mouse waves her hooves up in the air taking another swig of whiskey.
[21:05:46] <Schorcht> With a new plan ahead we remove ourselves from them a while. Will they hand over the mares? Will they take down Stud Muffin? Or will they run their business like merciful employers? Who knows. The only one who really knows anything in the Wastes is He Who Listens.
[21:05:57] <Schorcht> **Session End**
[21:06:01] <Schorcht> 1000 EXP
