Piss Poor #20

[18:30]	Rabtar	our heroes are in the Newton market, having just finished buying supplies...
[18:30]	Ragebrew	trots out of the medical clinic, looking like she felt like a million caps. Was still the same ol' battered, scarred, partially bandaged, braided, gender bent Ragebrew, but she didn't look like she was walking through molasses any more. She was even whistling a little tune, her heavy hooves dancing along the earthen path as she tracked down her friends. Plus Midnight.
[18:33]	Midnight_Hour	returns from the mayor's smiling. She felt good. Really good. Something was making her feel stronger and better than she had ever felt before. Was this the high of doing a good deed that DJ-Pon3 in all his colloquial charm was talking about. Walking up to the others, she smiled. "It's done everyone. I talked the mayor out of attacking the Trailer Trash," she almost giggles.
[18:34]	Merciful_Devotion	giggles as she watches Rage walk up. "Feeling more peachy-keen there, hun~?" she looks over at Midnight and grins. "Great! Sorry about putting you up like that, dunno why I felt sick all of a sudden..."
[18:36]	Ragebrew	grinned to Mercy "Very. Feeling right and level headed again, and I ain't swimming any more. Gotta love modern medicine, eh?" She found a nice spot to sit down at, plopping down and looking to Mercy. "Could be morning sickness, my dear." She gave her a wink and a laugh.
[18:37]	Ragebrew	looked to Midnight, nodding. "Good to hear. And ya sound a bit chipper. You share a PTM with him or something?"
[18:37]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks slowly at Ragebrew. "... You're not serious, are you?"
[18:38]	Ragebrew	looked back to Mercy, just grinning. "I would not put it outside the realm of possibility, but if ya'd like, I can give ya a look over." She pulled out her first aid kit and herb pouch. "Imagine I could whip up something like one of those sticks ya pee on to check if ya are."
[18:39]	Merciful_Devotion	"That... Might be a good idea, but only if you have the extra... There's more important things we could make with your supplies, I'm sure."{
[18:40]	Midnight_Hour	blinks. "No. I didn't share any elicit... substances with the mayor," she explained before looking at Ragebrew and Merciful_Devotion wide eyed. "If it was recent, a pregnancy test wouldn't work yet."
[18:41]	Long-shot	grabs her things in bag still sitting with Elektron "So. .you still wanna have a look Elektron? I know you were looking for a few things for your rifle so I got a few things you could use" she says with a yawn and stretching her neck before glancing to the others rambling
[18:42]	Elektron	"Yeah sure. This rifle that Amy brought is going to drive me nuts... but its amazing! Even if I can't figure out how it works." He said before poking his head in her saddle packs
[18:42]	Ragebrew	grinned, holding up the pouch. It was near bursting at the seams. "I got plenty. Traded all I had back in Trailer Trash for their stock of herbs." She hummed, looking at her alchemy kit. "Rather just give ya a check over first before I make anything though. I know a few old tricks to check if a mare's been knocked up, even within a few days." She pulled out her canteen and took a sip.
[18:44]	Ragebrew	looks back to Midnight "Well, never see ya that giddy before, so I can only assume chems had something to do with it."
[18:44]	Merciful_Devotion	gulps. "Well, okay."
[18:45]	Midnight_Hour	smiles. "Nope. Maybe this is the feeling of doing a good deed."
[18:46]	Elektron	pulls his head out of the packs with a grin "Mind if I borrow crutch, spark battery, pressure cooker, steam gauge assembly and some scrap metal Long-shot?"
[18:47]	Ragebrew	looked to Midnight, giving her a wide toothy grin. "Addictive, isn't it? Once ya have yer first hit, yer have to do bigger, better things to get the same high." She looked over her tools, and noticed something... Out of all her gear, she had no actual medical equipment. Everything she had been doing was with her teeth, hooves, and that sliver of metal she carried around. "I need a medical kit...."
[18:48]	Long-shot	smiles "Mmhmm, take what you need I don't mind" she giggles
[18:49]	Elektron	pulls out the items with a grin "Thanks! I'll be at the workbench!" he said as he trotted off eagerly
[18:50]	Ragebrew	grumbled. "Maybe in the next town..." She took a moment out of thought to prepare some basic medicine for the group and to restock her supply kit. "Anyone have some spare clean cloth I could use? Running low on bandages."
[18:53]	Rabtar	it's early afternoon and the market is sparcly populated, most of the ponies still out doing what they do. The faint smell of... cheese in the air...
[18:54]	Midnight_Hour	offers Ragebrew her two bandages. "Here you go," she says, offering it to Ragebrew.
[18:54]	Long-shot	thinks to herself with a hoof to her chin "Mmkay Elektron cya later" she looks to the counter going back to the merchant "Sir, do you have any wonderglue and or drinks?" she says politely
[18:55]	Merciful_Devotion	sniffs the air a bit. "Anyways... I don't think I have any spare cloth on me right now."
[18:56]	Rabtar	the mare Long-shot asked "Nope, just sell cheese."
[18:57]	Long-shot	blinks looking around "Um.. but.. wait what happened to the stallion here?" she asks confused and looking back and forth behind the counter
[18:57]	Ragebrew	sits down, working on large batches of potion. This was the first time her kettle was ever full, to the brim, with medicine. It was a lovely sight. Then the anti toxins. Those took a while longer, harder to make them with red herb instead of proper venom sacks. Then.. The experiment of Rad-x and herbs... It fizzled with anger at her. "Oh dear..."
[18:58]	Rabtar	she points down the line "More than one merchant here sweetie"\
[18:59]	Long-shot	nods politely a little confused at the encounter but moving down the line towards another merchand
[19:00]	Ragebrew	takes the two bandages from Midnight with a simple "Thank you" as she carefully poured the potions into their bottles. "One day, I will be filling canteens with this stuff..." She scrapped the chunky white/red goop of the anti toxin into another set of bottles. Finally... The... Stuff. She wasn't sure was it was, but she took the powder, rolled it in a little piece of cloth, and saved it for later. "Ah, science..."
[19:01]	Rabtar	the next merchant down also only has cheese and the next, and the next.... even the merchant they have just bought supplies from now only has.... cheese...
[19:02]	Merciful_Devotion	"Is that stuff safe to keep, Rage?"
[19:02]	Long-shot	blinks looking around with a sigh and facehoofing "Why cheesse! Why not one wonderglue!" she whimpered looking frantically for anything but damn cheese
[19:03]	Midnight_Hour	recieves the thank you, but it feels hollow. It didn't give her the rush her last selfless act did. Why? What was different. "Unless... I'll be back in a bit," Midnight tells them before running off back to the Inn.
[19:03]	Elektron	uses some Earth Pony knowledge to piece together a piece of history. Having been his first success in a while his spirits are lifted from making the item.
[19:04]	Ragebrew	shrugged. "I am not sure Mercy. Only way to know is to try it and find out. It's my general approach with brews I can't identify myself. Why do you think I have such a lovely voice and pretty eyes?" She batted her eyelashes at Mercy with a grin.
[19:04]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks. "Uh... No comment?"
[19:04]	Rabtar	the inn is gone, replaced with a small shack...
[19:05]	Ragebrew	scooped up her alchemy kit, stowing everything away in their proper place. "And I was kidding about the morning sickness. Odds are it has something to do with critters in the water ya've been drinking. I'll try to filter it from now on for ya."
[19:05]	Merciful_Devotion	"Yuck..."
[19:05]	Ragebrew	"But we can check if ya feel the need. For now... Did... That inn just..." She made a choked annoyed sound "Just like Swirlston...."
[19:06]	Merciful_Devotion	blinkblinks, then puts a hoof to her head. "I think the wastes have gone crazy..."
[19:06]	Ragebrew	whistles, gathering the others up. "Ya'll notice something... off... all of a sudden?"
[19:06]	Rabtar	Newton looks.... different, the walls lower and just in general... smaller
[19:07]	Midnight_Hour	looks around, confused as to where the inn went. "What? I... Doesn't matter," she says before setting up her tent and climbing inside. Closing the flaps and tying it off, she starts reading.
[19:07]	Ragebrew	"Aye! No no no missy, now is not the time for reading. Yer the only one who has any grasp of all this hippie dippie bullshit magic we encounter. We need ya out here."
[19:08]	Ragebrew	stuck her head into the tent, tugging on Midnight's tail "Now get out here, or there will be no apple pie for ya tonight, missy."
[19:08]	Merciful_Devotion	giggles a bit.
[19:09]	Midnight_Hour	looks down at her book, torn, before putting the book away. The knowledge! The knowledge was the key! She pouts as Ragebrew drags her out and sighs. "Okay. I'll take a look. With our luck it's that stupid alicorn again."
[19:09]	Elektron	is oblivious to the rifle, is doing science!
[19:09]	Elektron	*whistle, not rifle
[19:10]	Long-shot	whimpers "Luna, why cant there be wonderglue!?" she says aloud looking through the isles one more time sure there was some somewhere, there had to be!
[19:10]	Ragebrew	shrugged. "Aye, whatever it is, yer the only one who can guess at it. Now where in the nine hells is Elektron?" She wandered off, looking for the nerd pony to drag him off. It was time to gather the party before venturing forth.
[19:11]	Rabtar	Newton is even smaller now.... most of the ponies are gone and a long merchant sit at his stand, still selling only cheese. The walls of the settlement now completely gone
[19:11]	Midnight_Hour	looks around, tapping on walls and looking around the stalls. "So much cheese." She turns to a vendor. "Where did you get all this cheese. I do not see any brahmin around here."
[19:12]	Ragebrew	trots to the shack, and tries to swing it open. "Right, hippie dippie bullshit off the charts..."
[19:12]	Rabtar	the shack is empty
[19:14]	Ragebrew	just makes another annoyed choking sound, punching a hole in the shack's door with her mighty stone hoof. "Fucking! Magic! How! I! Hate! It!" She puncuated each word with another blow to the door. Fury spent, she spun around "Alright! Get yer ass out here, whoever the hell ya are!"
[19:14]	Rabtar	the merchant answers Midnight_Hour "All we've ever had is.... cheese. I don't know where it comes from. I just sell it"
[19:15]	Merciful_Devotion	looks around, blinking. "Okay... What the hell is going on here..."
[19:16]	Long-shot	sighs defeated and slowly trots to Elektron with her head down "Danget.. I can't find nothing" she sits
[19:17]	Elektron	finished turning and tuning the dial on the creation "It's finished" He said with a grin
[19:17]	Ragebrew	had the Samaritan out and at the ready as her eyes darted around the rapidly changing town. She took off running, trying to find the others, gathering them up with a frantic "Get yer asses together, major magical fuckery going on!"
[19:17]	Rabtar	as the group turn Newton is just gone gone! The only thing remaining is the shack and standing infront of it is a stallion that Midnight_Hour recognizes as the Mayor, sitting at his desk that is now outside...
[19:19]	Midnight_Hour	looks at her saddlebags and starts sorting through them, putting away her tent before pulling out the black book again. "Maybe there's something... in... here? Mister Mayor?"
[19:20]	Long-shot	looks up trotting to Ragebrew with a double take seeing the town was.. gone.. "Wat..." is all she could say
[19:20]	Ragebrew	shot a glance at Mercy. "Books don't destroy towns, right? Right?!" She looked this side of panicked, her eyes darting around the empty area rapidly.
[19:21]	Elektron	finally starts paying attention to his surrounds "Hay... what happened?"
[19:21]	Elektron	surroundings*
[19:22]	Rabtar	the Mayor looks up from the paperwork he had been doing "Well howdy there! Welcome to the Republic of Dustbin!"
[19:23]	Ragebrew	just... stood there blinking for a long moment, before looking out to the surrounding area.
[19:23]	Midnight_Hour	blinks before opening the book and pouring through it. This had to be dark magic and there had to be something in this book to fix it!
[19:24]	Rabtar	other than the shack it's nothing but open desert all around
[19:25]	Rabtar	Mercy just sits down, looking about in shock
[19:25]	Long-shot	whimpered as a thought came to mind "Oh no.. if towns are disappearing.... Trillium! I-Do you think she's okay?" she whines looking around panicked
[19:25]	Ragebrew	stopped spinning in place, looking around the open desert slowly. "This... isn't where we started. There... That mountain... It's too far north...."
[19:26]	Ragebrew	looked to Long-shot "Unless someone cast a spell that changed the very face of Equestria.... We aren't anywhere near Newton..."
[19:27]	|<--	Shady_Steps has left irc.canternet.org (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.90 [Firefox 21.0/20130511120803])
[19:27]	Long-shot	nods slowly with a frown "I hope they didn't.." she looks around trying to figure out where they were "C-Could.. we ask the 'mayor' where we are?" she asks quietly
[19:28]	Elektron	looks at Ragebrew wide eyed "What's going on?! One minute I'm crafting something, and the next the town is gone!" he said frantically
[19:28]	Rabtar	the Mayor gets up and trots around his desk "Y'all alright? Look like you've seen a ghost"
[19:28]	Midnight_Hour	keeps reading the book. "There has to be something in here. Just give me a minute and I might find a counter spell. I don't see any illusionary magic."
[19:29]	Ragebrew	looked to Midnight_Hour. "Ask her... I... I have no idea..." She trotted up to the "Mayor" looking at him for a long moment. "We may have. Whats the closest town to here?"
[19:31]	Rabtar	the Mayor scratches his chin for a moment "That would be.... Harmony Hights! Bout half a days trot west. Right on the river. But why would you be wantin to leave the Republic of Dustbin? We're the best settlement around!" smiling wide at his declaration
[19:33]	Long-shot	changes out the set of weapons she was carrying to a few... stronger types... juuuust to be sure
[19:34]	Ragebrew	just stood there, blinking a few times, before sitting on her rump, staring down at the ground. "Where.... No... You've never heard of Busted Flats or Swirlston, I am sure..." She rose on unsteady legs. "We're lost, sir, very, very lost..."
[19:35]	Midnight_Hour	continues reading. "There's nothing in here. Well, there's something, but nothing that could help us!"
[19:36]	Ragebrew	looked back to Midnight_Hour "Because that's a spell book, not an atlas... We're well off course. I don't remember there being any rivers near home, do you?"
[19:36]	Midnight_Hour	pouts, putting the book away. "The Bucklyn and Cudson Rivers are near my home," she complains.
[19:37]	Rabtar	"Never heard of no 'Busted Flats' but I know Swirlston is a good six or seven days trot away"
[19:39]	Ragebrew	blinked. "That's some good news at least..." She blinked a few more times, and facehoofed. "Amy... Oh blood and ashes..." She looked to the heavens, frowning. "Hope ya can find yer way home, little gem. We'll be waiting to see ya..." She tipped her hat to the mayor, and trotted back to the group.
[19:41]	Rabtar	the Mayor and his shack are now also gone
[19:41]	Long-shot	looks about curiously "Hmm..." she mutters something to herself "Do you ponies think there is a Rangers base near hear?" she smiled widely to her own idea
[19:41]	Ragebrew	has it dawn on her that it will take at least ten days, most likely many more, for her to get back to Trailer Trash and get her gender fixed. The stream of profanity that came out of her mouth would make the entire Equestrian Navy blush, if they still existed.
[19:42]	Midnight_Hour	stares at Ragebrew and her jaw drops.
[19:43]	Elektron	sits down hard and gapes, then turns to Long-shot, looking at her darkly "You want to do business with the Rangers?"
[19:44]	Ragebrew	took a good minute to finally finish her entire rant. Surprisingly enough, she did not take a single breath the entire time, the last few seconds of it a choked out wheeze before she flopped onto her side and groaned.
[19:44]	Long-shot	shakes her head at Rage before looking to Elektron "I was just thinking.. I /could/ get in and all.. maybe look around for something of importance.. they would know what is happening here right? And if not at least there is good stuff there for the taking"
[19:46]	Ragebrew	raised a hoof "My bits are on this has something to do with the MAS hub...."
[19:46]	Elektron	shakes his head firmly "No. I am not having anything to do with the Rangers." He stamped his hoof down
[19:48]	Long-shot	giggles at Elektron "Look I never said any of you had to come, just me going in, coming out with a lot more" she smiled "And I believe that we were teleported, all of us and I'm not sure by what"
[19:50]	Elektron	looks away, trying to drop the subject. He'd bring it up again if anypony suggested he followed them to a Ranger base
[19:50]	Midnight_Hour	shakes her head. "No. This wasn't teleportation. It's something else. I'd know if it was teleportation. There's an energy signature. There's a warping of space and time. This isn't teleportation."
[19:51]	Ragebrew	groaned and picked herself up off the sandy ground, shaking some of it off. "Ya have the slightest clue then? Or is this beyond even yer skill?"
[19:52]	Long-shot	bites her bottom lip thinking about this and trotting around a bit thinking "What and why did we get brought here?" she says thinking aloud
[19:52]	Midnight_Hour	looks distraught. "I... I don't know."
[19:53]	Ragebrew	"Again, my caps are on the MAS hub. Swirlston was having the same shit, only slower. First the inside shifted about, then the doc's hut got bigger... Then it all turned pink. Something is warping the landscape. And I feel it's because of whatever is in the MAS hub."
[19:55]	Ragebrew	"I shoulda bought some smokes...."
[19:55]	Elektron	looks at him confused "Where is the MAS Hub anyway?"
[19:55]	Long-shot	taps her chin "What in the MAS hub could cause things to disappear and reappear? Some huge source of uncontrolled energy.. but we can't seem to get a reading off of it right Midnight? So it's... I dunno.." she sighed
[19:58]	Midnight_Hour	sighs. "Right. This is crazy."
[19:59]	Ragebrew	pulled out the six pack she had found, idly tossing one to each pony, gently setting one besides Mercy when she came to. Cracking it open, she took a sip, looking around the desert. "Least we ain't dead. And we're somewhere new. Sisters know what we might find out here." She lifted her bottle in a toast to no one "To new horizons. May they rot in hell."
[20:00]	Elektron	passed back the beer "No thanks."
[20:01]	Midnight_Hour	looks down at the beer, not drinking it. "Buckweiser? I perfer a nice wine, a Marelot perhaps."
[20:01]	Ragebrew	flicked it back. "Indulge me. Trying to grasp some straws to help keep my sanity right now, and sharing a beer would help."
[20:01]	Long-shot	shook her head "Not my cup of tea.. er- beer.. I like something like WP" she said hoofing back the beer
[20:03]	|<--	KendallKun has left irc.canternet.org (Quit: There stood a man, cut up distraught and cold, amongst the wreckage of his ribcage his heart still thudded as he spoke)
[20:03]	Ragebrew	just sighed and took them back, dumping out the remains of her beer onto the desert. She only took a few sips "Truth be told, always been a vodka fan myself. But make due with whatcha got."

[20:13]	-->|	Heartshine ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[20:23]	Mad_Modd	Two yellowish, red eyes appear in front of you, staring blankly at the group. They separate from each other, and circle around the group independently of each other before shifting around and rejoining each other at the back of the group.
[20:23]	=-=	Xjuan_PC is now known as Quark
[20:23]	Long-shot	pulls out her .44 "That's... odd" she watches the eyes right back
[20:25]	Midnight_Hour	watches the eyes, glancing back at the book before looking back up. "What... who are you?"
[20:25]	Rabtar	there is a loud *Poof!* and a cloud of green smoke billows out from the eyes
[20:25]	Elektron	eyes widen as he shields his face with a foreleg "Whats going on!?"
[20:26]	Quark	“Oh look! A snack!” Long-shot’s .44 magnum turns into a gun shaped block of cheese.
[20:27]	Ragebrew	just looked at the eyes, her own narrowed to slits. "So yer the cheesy bastard then, eh?"
[20:27]	Long-shot	blinks "Luna damnit, I've had it with this bloody cheese" she glares putting it into her bags
[20:27]	=-=	Heartshine is now known as Quarks_Mouth
[20:28]	=-=	Quarks_Mouth is now known as Heartshine_
[20:28]	=-=	Quark is now known as Xjuan
[20:28]	=-=	Heartshine_ is now known as Quark
[20:29]	Ragebrew	looks at the pair of floating eyeballs. "So! Who are ya? Whatcha want? And why ain't we dead yet?"
[20:30]	Quark	watches as the cheese magnum out of thin air, and shoots cheese bullets into his mouth. "Cheese is delicious. I don't know why anyone would hate it." The sound of fluttering wings clears the smoke, revealing a draconequus with green glowing patches on it's hide.
[20:30]	Ragebrew	"Questions, answers, please?"
[20:31]	Elektron	looks with a mixture of curiousity and fear "Who... what are you?
[20:31]	Elektron	"
[20:31]	Midnight_Hour	cocks an eyebrow. "A draconequus? That... that makes sense. Only chaos magic would be this effective without an arcane trace."
[20:32]	Long-shot	sits and sighs looking to Midnight "Tooold you~" she nods signaling to the draconequus
[20:32]	Quark	Raises his eyebrows so that they're going off of his face. "Really? Somepony knows what I am. It's so refreshing! Gifts for you, Midnight Hour!" He pulls a bouquet of cheesy flowers out of Midnight Hour's horn and splats it stickly on her head.
[20:32]	Midnight_Hour	grimaces. "You did not."
[20:33]	Ragebrew	"Bicker later. Survive now."
[20:35]	Quark	Shakes a finger at Ragebrew. "Now, Now, Ragebrewette, there'll be no shooting." He takes the cheese magnum and shoots another cheese bullet into his mouth. "Well, except for this. Would you like some cheese? This magnum made excellent Appleloosan cheddar." He asks, levelling the gun at Ragebrew.
[20:36]	Midnight_Hour	stares up at the cheese that slowly seeping down her forehead. "No... no no no no!" she cries, whipping out the book and snarls as she summons a balefire orb between her and Quark. "My hair!"
[20:36]	Ragebrew	still had her gun holster, but there was a snarl on her face. "My name is Ragebrew. Please be so kind to pronounce it properly. It hurts what little feelings I have...."
[20:37]	Quark	grabs the balefire orb from above Midnight Hour and cracks it open like an egg. He summons a frying pan and makes scrambled eggs. Glowing scrambled eggs. "My apologies, Ragebrew. You're just so much fun to mess with. And so, so many possibilities."
[20:37]	Long-shot	looks at the draconequus.. pauses... looks through her bags frantically pulling something out, it's a broken .45 and points to the draconequus' hoof "What magic can you do with this? Nopony can fix this~ Are you magical enough to make this better?" she blinks hopeful to see something good happen to the broken weapon
[20:38]	Midnight_Hour	blinks and gapes. "What? How? I... How are you immune to balefire?"
[20:38]	Ragebrew	looked at Midnight. "We can't harm it, so don't try." Her eyes focused back on the draconequus "I imagine. Although I imagine my reactions may not be yer flavor of amusing at time."
[20:40]	Quark	Summons a plate and snacks on the radeggs. "No, I figure your flavour of amusing involves shooting small children in the head with a shotgun like a raider, Ragebrew. And to your question, Miss Midnight Fancee-fluff, that's for me to know and for you to never find out. I draconequus doesn't kiss and tell. Well, usually. Let's just say some things shouldn't plough each other during dark, stormy nights."
[20:41]	Merciful_Devotion	finally breaks out of her increduality-induced stupor and shakes her head. "Okay... What... The... Fuck... Wasteland..."
[20:42]	Midnight_Hour	quietly puts away the black book and sighs. "I know when I'm outmatched."
[20:42]	Ragebrew	bit her lip so hard it cut right through the flesh, leaving a free flowing trickle of blood oozing down her chin. Her voice was a harsh whisper and razor sharp "I took no joy in that, and damn ya if ya don't know better...."
[20:43]	Midnight_Hour	looks at Ragebrew, horrified. "You shot a child in the head?"
[20:43]	Long-shot	keeps the broken .45 in air seeing if the draconequus could fix it, still keeping her previous statement
[20:45]	Quark	snaps his fingers and the pistol appears in his paw and tallon. He flips his apendages around, and a rubber band gun comes out. "Whoops, no, that's not quite right." He says, shifting it again. This time a balloon animal appears. "Nope. Let's try..." He waves his hands one more time, revealing a tiny, single shot .22 pistol. He sighs. "Sorry kiddo, sometimes when things are broke they're just broke."
[20:45]	Ragebrew	looked at Midnight, eyes nothing but thin slits. "Yes. After she and her gang ran down a caravan, killed everyone but Mercy, crippled Pocket, and shot somewhere around 72 bullets at me if my math and the casings were right."
[20:46]	Long-shot	nods and smiles to her "Thanks for trying anyway, it means alot" she smiles to her "What's your name? I'm Long-shot" she says politely
[20:46]	Elektron	tries to follow Long-shots example "I-I-I'm Elektron" he said with a grimace
[20:48]	|<--	Xavi- has left irc.canternet.org (Connection closed)
[20:48]	Midnight_Hour	gives Ragebrew a look before turning back to Quark. She scoffs and tries to brush the cheese out of her hair. "You seem to already know who I am."
[20:48]	Quark	pats Long-shot and Elektron. "Such polite ponies. You deserve cookies." A cookie appears in the pair's mouths. He looks pointedly at Ragebrew. "To answer you, there are always possiblities. There were options. You always have the option. Of choice." He says levelly.

[20:49]	Quark	rolls his eyes at Midnight Hour. "Oh Midnight, let your mane down." he snaps his fingers, putting Minight Hour in an EXTREMELY revealing prewar bikini. "Live a little baby! The wasteland is here for fun."
[20:50]	Long-shot	giggles and offers a hoof to brohoof Quark snickering and whispering "Good one, and thanks for the cookie"
[20:50]	Ragebrew	"DO YOU NOT THINK WE DO NOT KNOW THAT?!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. "DO YOU NOT THINK WE HAVE NOT RAN OVER THAT DAY A THOUSAND TIMES?! DO YOU NOT THINK WE WISH WE COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE THAT DAY?!" She stopped for a moment, before her legs wavered and she fell to the ground, crying. Amidst the sobbing a pitiful "We are a good pony... we are..."
[20:50]	Ragebrew	was heard.
[20:52]	Quark	takes the cheese out of Midnight Hour's mane, giving her a wetmane look. He looks to Merciful Devotion. "Not too talky. Mercy?" He ignores the brohoof. "What is that?" He asks, poking Long-shot on the nose. Her camo coat turns to bright pink and grey bunnies.
[20:52]	Midnight_Hour	looks down at herself, for a brief moment admiring the fine tailoring involved in the swimsuit, until she remembers she's in public and not clothed. "Oh!" she cries and pulls a blanket to cover herself. "What did you do with my dress!"
[20:52]	Merciful_Devotion	snorts. "I'm not having the best day, bub..."
[20:53]	Quark	nods. "Well enough. Well, have some fun here on me." A Sex on the Beach appears in a glass with a twisty straw and a little umbrella in front of Merciful Devotion.
[20:54]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks at the rather fruity-looking drink.
[20:54]	Long-shot	giggles wildly "Yay, I'm pink!" she fell over laughing and looking up to the draconequus "It's a hoofbump, ponies do it when they agree on something or make a good joke like you did" she smiled laying back and looking over to Rage with a frown "Aww, Mr. Draconequus, do you think you can please give Rage a little break..." she says kindly "She's.. had a rough time lately.." she asks as nicely...
[20:54]	Long-shot	...as possible looking to see the drink "Oooohh, I suddenly crave some WP.."
[20:56]	Quark	looks at Long-shot. "Who do I look like? Santa? Oh wait, you don't know who that is. Great drinking buddy, holds his cocaine about as well as the Easter bunny. Ah, good times, good times..." He narrows his eyes at the pink and grey unicorn. "The point is, don't ask strangers for candy or booze. The choice of taking them may not be the best for you/
[20:58]	Long-shot	nodnods and sits up listening "Yeeah, I suppose your right sir" she smiles "Saay, what would it take to earn something cool from you? Got any guns for grabs? Maybe a simple task? Although I like nice weapons... but just curious.." she looks at her hoof curiously like a business pony
[20:58]	Midnight_Hour	grimaces from underneath her blanket burka. "I don't care about candy or booze! I just want to know where my dress is!"
[20:58]	Merciful_Devotion	takes a tenative sip from the glass in front of her.
[21:00]	Quark	nods to Mercy. "I like you, you get into the swing of things." He rolls his eyes at Midnight. "Oh fine, here's something more covering." He says, sounding exhasperated. A poof of smoke reveals a chained prostitute outfit with a tag on it that says 'Midnight Hour'

[21:02]	Ragebrew	stopped her mental breakdown when she saw the chained outfit on Midnight. Where she was once crying her mind out, she was now rolling on the floor laughing like a madpony.
[21:02]	Midnight_Hour	pales at the sight of the chained prostitute outfit. "This... THIS IS NOT MY DRESS!"
[21:02]	Quark	The draconequus looks at Ragebrew sobbing on teh ground. "One of the lessons of the wasteland is that there are always choices. Some good. Some bad. But they are always there. I friend once called me the Demon of Possibility." He shrugs. "Who nows, maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I just wanna have a little fun."
[21:02]	-->|	latex_dazzle ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[21:03]	Merciful_Devotion	cant help but giggle at Midnight. "Oh goddesses, that's something /I'd/ normally wear!"
[21:03]	Long-shot	giggles sitting and watching Midnight with the most surprised look on her face before laughing uncontrollably
[21:05]	Midnight_Hour	feels a breeze against her hindquarters and clenches her back legs shut. "Give me something decent to wear! These panties are crotchless!" she shouts before blushing like crazy.
[21:05]	Elektron	has no words for current events
[21:06]	Ragebrew	0x01ACTION eventually subsided her laugh, before slowing bringing herself back onto her hooves, once again glaring at the hogpog of creatures. "And I live with them, and will carry my sins with me till I die. I will redeem myself of them one day, even if I find redemption in death. Now would ya kindly explain WHY ya've taken us to... where ever this place is? Or did ya just feel like fucking with a few ponies brains, give the ol' superna
[21:06]	Long-shot	waves a hoof in the air pleadingly "Ooh Ooh! Can I have some black Power Armour? Or or a Stealthsuit? Something really cool? Just for a second maybe?" she asks pleadingly
[21:06]	Ragebrew	, give the ol' supernatural powers a spin?"
[21:06]	Quark	shakes his head at Merciful_Devotion. "Dear oh dear, well, we can't have that." He summons a late victorian era high necked dress for the young unicorn.
[21:07]	Midnight_Hour	looks at the beautiful dress and pouts. "I'll trade you."
[21:08]	Merciful_Devotion	giggles. "I'm okay with this right now, hun~"
[21:08]	Quark	shrugs, and looks at Long-shot. "You aren't too bright, are you, sweetie. I don't have anything fun for you, but here, have some PTMs." He magics up a case of Party Time Mintals, only these have a picture of the draconequus on it instead of the normal Pinkie Pie image.
[21:08]	Ragebrew	flung her duster at Midnight. "Cover yerself up for now, until our host decides otherwise."
[21:09]	Long-shot	giggles and claps her hooves "Yay! Your awesome!" she squees taking the box and putting it in her bag "U-Um can I have my .44 back? I promise I won't shoot" she smiles sitting with a straight back obediently
[21:10]	Quark	turns his attentions to Elektron. "Hey, shy boy? Nothing? Not amusing enough for you? Do you need more cookies? A sensual massage?" He poofs behind the stallion and starts rubbing his shoulders. "You are so tense. Seriously, you need to get laid more often. Or that's what Latex would say."
[21:10]	Midnight_Hour	cringes at the horrible smelling duster, but at least floats the duster behind her to cover her exposed flanks.
[21:11]	-->|	Wirepony ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[21:12]	Ragebrew	flinged a small sum of sand at the draconequus. "Ya've still not answered my honestly very simple question. Why the fuck are ya messing with us?"
[21:12]	Quark	shoots 4 more cheese rounds into his mouth before passing Long-shot back the magnum. It returns to it's steel grey colour, but is now empty of bullets. "Little one, again, I recommend against asking for more gifts. You have the choice to, but you may not like the consequences of it."
[21:12]	-->|	Thirteen ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[21:13]	Elektron	's eyes dart and forth and his ears flop as he asks nervously "Wh-who? and how did they find out?!"
[21:13]	Midnight_Hour	sniffs, feeling tears starting to well up in her eyes. "I just want my pretty dress back. My mother bought it for me."
[21:13]	Long-shot	blinks and nods taking back the weapon and putting it away "Oh.. sorry, I was just taking this back then having a seat.. promise.." she smiles to the draconequss before sitting and sighing laying back
[21:15]	Merciful_Devotion	just smirks and keeps sipping her drink.
[21:16]	Long-shot	looks around and with a sigh trots over to Ragebrew and lays net to her "Hey um, you okay?" she asks quietly
[21:16]	Quark	0x01ACTION continues massaging Elektron, giving Ragebrew an even look. He turns the sand to bubbles and blows them back in the mare's face. "I'll answer when I feel like it, sweetie. You just set yourself down and deal with it. Here, I'll help a bit." He snaps his fingers, regrowing the mare's missing limb. "Suffice it to say, I'm here about a choice you'll have to make. But after a bit of fun." He presses hard into a knot on
[21:17]	Quark	a knot on Elektron's back. "Luna's sopping plot, boy, you need to relax!"
[21:18]	Midnight_Hour	looks away. "Can I have my dress back... Please?"
[21:18]	Long-shot	blushes hard at what the draconequus just said "W-What? L-Luna's w-what?" she blushes at that
[21:18]	Ragebrew	"Give me back my real leg...." She hissed, looking down at the reformed flesh. "That is not my leg... Kindly return my proper leg before I replace it myself." She had pulled out... Her shotgun, and was resting it right where she had lost her previous leg. "That is not my leg..."
[21:18]	Elektron	won't deny the draconequus has skill, but is still perplexed and slightly scared of it
[21:20]	Quark	sighs. He puts the paw hand over his stomach. "Alright, fine, you may have it back. You're no fun. Lucky you that I have a soft spot for dear old mumsie." He looks at Ragebrew. "That is regrown from your own flesh. It's your limb. You have the choice to blow it off, but I'm not regrowing it should you choose to remove it again. But I assure you, it's made of your body, made of your cells."
[21:21]	Ragebrew	"I lost my leg. It was blown clear off. And I am not going to have some trickster change who I am, in any way. So ya can either reverse whatcha did, and share yerself a whole lot of yelling and screaming, or ya can enjoy the sight of me blowing off my own limb and reattaching the proper one."
[21:23]	Quark	rolls his eyes. "I can see I'll need some more support on this." He snaps his fingers. "I've got a friend, maybe she'll help you deal with your... issues..." He says, his voice dripping with sarcasm at the word 'issues.'

[21:24]	Raider_King_Heartshine	WHARGH WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME YOU WEIRD DRAGON BASTARD I HATE YOU AND WILL CHEW ON YOUR LIVER!
[21:24]	=-=	Raider_King_Heartshine is now known as Quark
[21:24]	Quark	looks concerned as an angry raider filly appears
[21:24]	Quark	"Whoops, wrong one."
[21:24]	Midnight_Hour	is suddenly poofed back into her dress. "Yay!" Then she sees the raider filly. "What? Who are you, little filly?"
[21:25]	Ragebrew	just looked at the filly, then back to the draconquues, then to Midnight "She's the one I killed."
[21:25]	Ragebrew	"If ya don't think I haven't seen her face every night when I rest, ya don't know shit about me."
[21:25]	Quark	looks a bit uncomfortable and scratches his head as the filly hisses at Midnight Hour. "Well, that wasn't the one I wanted. Let me see if I can't send her back."
[21:25]	Midnight_Hour	blinks. "But that's impossible. Draconequus cannot resurect the dead, no matter how powerful they are. Not even Discord could do that."
[21:26]	Long-shot	twitches and gets up never looking away from the direction she just say the filly in, she backs up jaw wide unable to speak "O-Oh G-Goddesses... n-no.." she falls down on her flank trying to scoot back terrified
[21:26]	Ragebrew	"Ya looking to haunt me with ghosts of my sins? Too late, I already do that myself. Try something else if ya wanna gnaw at my soul some more."
[21:26]	Quark	picks up the raider filly by the neck and holds her in front of him like something distasteful. "Timey-whimey ball quantum realities and salt and pepper. Maybe a bit too much oatmeal."
[21:27]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks, having just finished her drink. "Uh..."
[21:28]	Ragebrew	scooped up the discarded stone leg, putting it back in it's satchel. "Gonna need more green herb anyways. Unless ya fancy a show, whoever the flying fuck ya are, and can conjure me up some fusing balm."
[21:30]	Quark	shakes his head, poofing the filly away. "Let's see if I can't get the real one this time." He snaps his fingers, and another filly appears. She's similar in colours to the raider filly, but is dressed in a small Courier duster and has only a small beam pistol at her side as she appears. She looks confused at all the gathered ponies. "I'll let her chat a moment."
[21:30]	=-=	Quark is now known as Heartshine
[21:30]	Heartshine	looks confused and concerned at the gathered ponies. "Um... hi?" she says tentatively, looking worriedly at the angry mare.
[21:31]	Ragebrew	looked down at the filly, and promptly sat down. "Hello." She looked back at the hogpog, glaring at him, before looking back to the filly. "Are ya ok?"
[21:32]	Merciful_Devotion	blinks even more. "What... The hay... Is going on?"
[21:32]	Midnight_Hour	blinks. "Oh! A pegasus! I've never seen one of them before!" Midnight says and smiles at the filly. "Hello there. Did you come from the Enclave?"
[21:32]	Heartshine	nods, brushing some dust off her duster. "I'm alright. I'm used to it with Quark by now. I'm more worried about you. I can feel your anger from here."
[21:33]	Long-shot	looks over from her concerned thoughts trying to the think of the other green filly as she got up "W-What the heck is happening?"
[21:33]	Elektron	looks at the filly curiously "He does this often?"
[21:33]	Ragebrew	"My name is Ragebrew, and it is an apt name."
[21:35]	Heartshine	widens her eyes as she's hit with a barrage of questions. "Um, no, I'm not with the Enclave. I'm from Haven. Well... what was Haven. As for Quark, I don't know. He's a friend. I'm assuming he brought me here for something. Also, hello Ragebrew."
[21:37]	Ragebrew	"Yer friend is a bastard. He makes good points, but he's still a bastard."
[21:38]	Long-shot	whimpers looking at the green filly "Y-You look so much like her.." she sighs
[21:38]	Heartshine	nods understandingly. "I can see that. I didn't like him too much when I first met him. Though I was on Rage at the time. Which I think he gave me." She grumbles under her breath a moment. "So... why are you pointing a giant gun at your leg? That seems... not clever."
[21:39]	Heartshine	puts a small hoof on Long-shot's. "I look like who? There's so much grief from you when you say that..."
[21:39]	Merciful_Devotion	blinkblinks at the filly. "Okay... Rage, did you get the crazy mushrooms again for dinner last night?"
[21:39]	Ragebrew	"Because yer friend alterned my body, without my consent. I am reversing what he did and making myself as I was before he decided to alter me. If ya have any surgical tubing, I could perform a touriquette, save us all a lot of blood and screaming."
[21:40]	Midnight_Hour	inspects the filly before an epiphany hits her. "Wait. You didn't resurrect that raider filly that looks like her, you found a alternate or previous version of her. That was either the raider before she died or from another timeline."
[21:41]	Ragebrew	"What could have been. What may have been. If I had not been."
[21:41]	Long-shot	whimpers sitting and almost falling under her hoof as her eyes filled with water "J-Just a filly.. I-I saw earlier..." she whimpers "I-I don't think you'd like to know..." she says depressingly
[21:42]	Elektron	sits back and listens, trying to make some sense of what is going on. Him dreaming seems a logical deduction, but history has shown this to be not true.
[21:43]	Heartshine	looks sadly at Long-shot and Ragebrew. "So you're going to hurt yourself, even though he's fixed what was once broken? I don't think he would have done it without a reason." She looks back at Quark, who mouths 'no' to her.
[21:44]	Heartshine	frowns slightly. "Your body isn't even yours, is it? There's there so much pain and confusion. So why are you going to hurt yourself more? Is that going to heal what wounds you already carry with you? The ones that hurt your soul?"
[21:45]	Ragebrew	"It was my scar to bear. My memory to hold. I stood on that stone leg with pride. I saved a life, and survived standing in the heart of a minefield. Plus, if anyone is going to fix that, it's going to be me, not some snap of yer fingers bullshit. Takes the satisfaction out of it. I am not glad I have my old leg back. Ya damn well know what I am right now. I feel fucking defiled."
[21:46]	Long-shot	whimpers laying down next to Heartshine and taking a breath to calm down giving her best smile to Heartshine and wiping her tears away "I-It's okay.. I hope.." she whispers the end sitting up a little
[21:47]	Heartshine	nods in understanding, laying a small wing comfortingly over Long-shot. She looks back to Ragebrew. "I can understand that. I know scars, believe me, I do. However, now that you are whole again, what is stopping you from doing your best? What's stopping you from being a good pony, now that you no longer have your stone leg?"
[21:48]	Midnight_Hour	watches Heartshine before turning back to Quark. "You... I know you're a creature of mischief and chaos, but you are absolutely fascinating. Space/Time manipulation is an amazing feat, especially when it is free of paradoxes."
[21:50]	Heartshine	she shrugs. "You have been given a gift, and you're sitting here telling me that you don't want it and would rather be crippled. Would you rather be returned to who you truly were? Back when you were a male?" she asks, showing an upturned hoof to him.
[21:51]	Ragebrew	"A gift I did not ask for, nor wish for. That leg provided me with a fire. Because of that leg, I discovered a new form of fusing balm, able to bind severed limbs together. Mind ya, it hurts like a son of a bitch, but if it were not for me losing that leg, I would never have thought to create it. I am spurred by my experiences. They are what drive me to be a better pony. And to take one of them away from me..."
[21:52]	Long-shot	sighs and strokes a hoof on Heartshine's wing sighing before laying it back down under her "W-What's your name..I-if I may ask" she says in a whisper to the green filly
[21:52]	Ragebrew	"As for being a mare... That is another experience that I will see through to the end, instead of have someone else solve it for me."
[21:54]	Heartshine	sighs. "That fire doesn't leave you once your leg is made whole. Are you seriously trying to tell me that just because you no longer have visible scars, you aren't able to carry on with your experiments with potions?"
[21:55]	Heartshine	pulls back her duster, revealing a multitude of scars that cover her small frame. "I would pay anything to have my emotional scars not show up in physical form. But that's not a burden for anypony but me to bear."
[21:56]	Ragebrew	snorted. "No. But it will be a constant reminder, to try, try try again. Find the perfect formulae, make it totally painless. Plus, I know this leg is special. I can smell it. But it's story can not be told, being wrapped in linen in my backpack. It is more than formed stone, it merely needs someone to speak for it. I know that someone is me."
[21:57]	=-=	Heartshine is now known as Quark
[21:58]	Quark	speaks up. "Your leg would have only brought you misfortune in the end. And you can no longer reattach it with your salve. If you want to remove your limb, you can, but it's not going to replaced any time soon."
[21:58]	Quark	looks at Midnight. "Yes precious, it makes for all sorts of fun. Let's folks know that you're able to do whatever you want, and most of all, figure out what kinds of possibilities there are out there."
[21:59]	Ragebrew	"Then would ya be so kind as to reverse what ya did, before I decide to test yer theory and try ANOTHER balm?"
[21:59]	Ragebrew	"My fortunes are my own, and I'll be damned if I let someone else decide 'em for me."
[22:01]	Ragebrew	"Or is this a magic beyond yer scale? Is there something in that hoof that even ya can't sort out? Because it seems rather odd, ya've been so polite to everyone else, giving them little treats, but the only request I have, yer so fervent to avoid."
[22:01]	Quark	shrugs. "Whatever you do is your own decision. I just ask you wait till the filly's gone. I made something happen to you. I am guiding you to a decision. Which path you take from that choice is yours."
[22:02]	Ragebrew	"Yer dodge the question, and the request."
[22:03]	Midnight_Hour	rolls her eyes. "By your logic, somepony who has been paralyzed by someone should remain paralyzed even when a doctor has a way to mend their spine. Stop being a baby, Ragebrew."
[22:03]	Quark	holds up a clawed hand "You have the choice to blow off your leg." He holds up the paw. "You have the choice to not blow off your leg." He holds up a human hand. "You have the choice to keep the leg and become a better pony, having learned from your experiences."
[22:03]	Long-shot	sighs waving "B-By green filly... good luck.." she smiles hopefully sitting back wishing she got her name
[22:05]	Ragebrew	snapped a glare at Midnight, opened her mouth, and closed it. "Ya really don't get it, do ya? I want to bear this scar. I want to bear all my scars. I want my hide be to a tapestry of old sealed wounds. Because each of them will have a story. Each of them will have a memory. They are my memories, and what right do ya have to take them from me?"
[22:06]	Ragebrew	"Ya speak of being a better pony. Robbing me of one of my memories does not strike me as good."
[22:06]	Quark	holds up, inexplicably, a hoof. "The way I see it, you are trying to hang onto something you should let go. Am I right, little one?" Quark asks, looking at Heartshine. The filly nods quietly. "Boy, you are just like a wind up toy of bad decisions, aren't you?"
[22:06]	Midnight_Hour	sighs. "If you require a scar to remember something, then you're more messed up in the head then I thought," she scoffs.
[22:06]	Ragebrew	"My decisions are my own, and I will suffer for them accordingly."
[22:07]	Ragebrew	"Midnight, ya don't know the half of it. Try asking sometime instead of turning yer lip up in distain at me."
[22:07]	Ragebrew	"Now kindly give me my leg back."
[22:07]	Long-shot	whimpers in the middle of the arguing group waving bye to the green filly as she slowly scooted away from all of them
[22:08]	=-=	Quark is now known as Heartshine
[22:09]	Elektron	"But Rage... just because you don't have the scar doesn't mean you lost the memory. I'll have the memory of you losing your leg engraved in my mind forever, and I have nothing physical to remind me."
[22:10]	Ragebrew	"There will be a time when my mind fails me to the point I DON'T remember them, Elektron. Again, ya don't know the half of it."
[22:11]	=-=	Heartshine is now known as Quark
[22:12]	Quark	Shrugs. "Ok, if you must." He poofs Ragebrew's gun to him, and feeds a massively oversized Shell into it. The shell is easily 3 times as long as the gun, but still miraculously fits into the weapon. "This'll take off your leg with a subtle surity that you won't get from conventional ammo."
[22:13]	Midnight_Hour	rolls her eyes and turns away from Ragebrew, disgusted. "So your name is Quark, right? I would love to discuss magic and space/time theory with you some time."
[22:13]	Quark	poofs the gun back to Ragebrew. "Watch the kickback on it, I hear it's" He covers Heartshine's ears. "KInd of a bitch." He shrugs. "Also carries the slightest risk of total disintegration, but eh..." he uncovers the filly's ears.
[22:14]	Ragebrew	"So, yer gonna sit there and watch me remove my own leg, instead of waving those fancy limbs of yer's and just restore what ya already did. Ya have the decision to just undo whatcha did and reattach my proper leg, or ya can sit there and watch me scream in pain. Big talk from a being who grills me about the right thing to do."
[22:15]	Elektron	can't bear to watch. Not again
[22:15]	Ragebrew	popped the shell out of the Samaritan, flicking it back to the draconquees. "And ya can keep yer toys. If yer not gonna help me fix the problem ya caused, I don't want any of yer charity to make it easier." She slotted in one of the 12 gauge rounds, snapping closed the Samaritan once more.
[22:16]	Quark	spins the stone leg in his fingers, looking at the leg critically. "Here's the thing, Mr. Brew. You don't know what this is, do you?" he asks, picking his curved tooth with the leg.
[22:16]	Ragebrew	"No. But I intend to find out. It has a story to tell, and I want to hear it."
[22:17]	Quark	looks levelly at the earth pony. "And there are some things in this verse that ponies aren't supposed to know. What you have here is something that even freaked out the Goddesses. You weren't meant to have this. So if you want to lose your leg in this pissy contest, be my guest. I'm not fixing you next time."
[22:18]	Long-shot	cries softly before gritting her teeth hard and clenching her eyes tightly before growling and slamming a hoof on the ground "EVERYPONY SHUT THE BUCK UP!!!" she screams at the top of her lung, her chest burning as she heaves thinking back on the memories of her past, she glares to Midnight_Hour "LOOK, If Rage wants to be a feeble and failed soldier then she can! It's her own damn fault if...
[22:18]	Long-shot	...she dies! This is coming from me! A stupid stupid pony!" she heaves turning to Ragebrew "I'm sick and tired of you imbecils arguing! Just blow of your own leg, do it! You think your making it better? You think that helps the team!? Your a fool and if you weren't a nice pony I'd shoot it off myself!" she pants looking around as the tunnel vision set in "Y-You think I bucking did that when...
[22:18]	Long-shot	...I was captured!? J-Just cover the wound and forget it! No! I ran! I bucking ran, never even went back to the only thing I had, the thing that abused me! My father, B-But your given a chance I'd DIE for, a new leg and you just want to shoot it off!?! Go ahead right now then! But I'm not loosing more soldiers! More innocent lives if you die or get us killed! I won't take it again! What you...
[22:18]	Long-shot	...do is on you soldier! You die, y-your fault!" she shakes gasping as she falls to the floor trying to keep her head up as she blinked slowly exasperated and tired slowly lowering her head as she cried with shut eyes
[22:18]	Ragebrew	"If I wasn't meant to have it, how did it end up in my saddlebag for the last couple of weeks? If the universe really intended for that not to end up in my hooves, I would have never noticed it in that cave so long ago."
[22:20]	Quark	rubs Heartshine on Long-shot. The filly looks concerned and confused as she's used as a squeegee. "SO MUCH TEXTS! MAKE IT BETTER, FILLY!" He turns back to Ragebrew. "Do I have to do everything and be everywhere at once?"
[22:21]	Quark	he shrugs, Heartshine still in his grasp, politely asking to be put down. "There are reasons for everything. You carried this, and now I have to return this leg to its rightful owner. Which IS NOT YOU." He hands a sign on Ragebrew that says 'not the owner of the leg'
[22:22]	Ragebrew	"I've seen yer leavings. The hat, the armor, inside of the robot's brain. Always thought it was gonna be a ghoul with a love of fondue though. And if that was the best ya could do to try to tell me "No, don't carry the evil stone leg of doom" ya woulda been better off just showing up and snagging it out of my saddlebag while I slept. Woulda been rather worried if Amy ate it, but otherwise meh. Then I found it to be the only reason I w
[22:22]	Ragebrew	. Then I found it to be the only reason I was whole after being blown up. Rather fond of it."
[22:23]	Ragebrew	"The rightful owner is a pile of bones I buried outside of a gecko cave somewhere outside of Busted Flats. Yer able to hop between reality, ask him if he'd like his leg to be put to use instead of moldering in a backpack."
[22:26]	Quark	sets the filly down and pinches the bridge of his nose. "Let me put it this way, Ragey-brew. The reason I need the leg back is that I need it because there is a Very distraught stone giant who lost his stallionhood and would like it back." He shrugs. "His wedding is in a few days, so you see why he wants it back."
[22:27]	Quark	shakes his head. "Mind you, he lost that about, 200 years ago, but he didn't have a potential Missus in the wings at the time, so he didn't miss it too much. Well, till now. Apparently pony-shaped rocks were really helpful in replacing it up until now."
[22:27]	Ragebrew	"Yer a funny hogpog of critters, ya know that? This was a part of a pony, a very odd one at that, and I am willing to bet it wasn't just a decorative piece. So how about ya try again on why ya want this so badly."
[22:27]	Midnight_Hour	blanches, looking between Quark, Ragebrew, and then at the horizon, blinking repeatedly. "And I'm leaving now."
[22:28]	Quark	thinks a moment. "Oh wait, that was 200 years ago HIS time, so like, 700ish for you."
[22:28]	Ragebrew	"I doubt ya can Midnight."
[22:28]	=-=	Quark is now known as Heartshine
[22:28]	Heartshine	looks concerned at Ragebrew. "Uh, Ragebrew? He's telling the truth."
[22:29]	=-=	Heartshine is now known as Quark
[22:29]	Long-shot	whimpers laying silently on the floor shaky and sweating trying hard to ignore their arguing, it was truly hitting her in the gut over and over reminding her of that damn night with the Rangers and how she lost it all...
[22:30]	Ragebrew	"I really, really doubt that, in all honesty. Plus, who'd want a tallywacker shaped like a hoof? Be mighty uncomfortable to use. Also, Giant? Really? If he's only packing a pony leg worth, he's better off getting a new one made."
[22:32]	Midnight_Hour	groans, puts down her blanket, and pulls out her magical primer to read.
[22:33]	Quark	covers the ears of Heartshine again. "I really don't want to get into the more obscene portions of Giant sexual practices in front of the filly! Bad pony!" He snaps his fingers. Elektron's stallionhood suddenly becomes extremely well endowed. "Look at the nerd. A pony sized 5th leg is pretty good, right?"
[22:33]	Ragebrew	"Now, ya've got a merry little journey for us go on, one we're possibly already on without noticing it. Imagine it's about the Hub, this Tartrus thing, 42, blah blah blah. Yer holding us all up bickering about giving me my damn, rightfully earned kick ass stone hoof back. Ok, I admit, I think it's fucking awesome. It's fucking stone, and I can feel it! That was something I'd never though I'd experience!
[22:34]	Elektron	blanches and quickly lies flat on his belly "GAH! TURN IT BACK! NOT IN FRONT THE FILLY!"
[22:34]	Ragebrew	"A bit of vanity, yes, I admit. Think having a stone hoof is rather imposing. Like being scary, keeps annoying folks away. Plus, it's a hell of a conversation piece! I got two stories already, hopefulyl a fuckton more!"
[22:35]	Ragebrew	"So stop beating around the bush and scolding me for delving in things I don't know shit about! I don't care! I WANNA know about 'em! Only way I can learn is to experience 'em!"
[22:35]	Midnight_Hour	looks over her book and blinks before staring at the large 'leg' swinging between Elektron's hind legs.
[22:36]	Ragebrew	"And regardless of whatcha do, I AM gonna get this put back into place where it rightfully belongs, regardless of the wishes of the Universe. My continued survive is already pissing it the Universe's eye, why not go a step further?!
[22:37]	Quark	sighs. "Well, if you want it back, I'll put it back where it goes, but it doesn't go on your leg, Ragey-Brew." he raises his eyebrows. "If you know what I mean."
[22:37]	Long-shot	whimpers and sniffles wiping at her eyes, she mutters something softly song like to herself, the only words you understand are something about a "..Violet Moon.." before hearing her sigh to herself and pull out her stealth book trying to focus on that over bickering
[22:38]	Ragebrew	"Hermaphrodite? Kinky. But I'd rather ya just undo whatcha did."
[22:42]	Quark	poofs a small wind up toy onto Ragebrew's back and starts turning it. "Oh Ragebrew. You are such a wonderful wind up toy of poor decisions. YOu are given all these choices, and your choices are consistently those that hurt you the most. Why do you do this to yourself, I wonder? I tried to make your life better and easier."
[22:43]	Quark	let's go of the wind up key, and as it turns, Ragebrew begins to see all of his poor choices. "You know what, I'll let you ask one more time. But this time, you're asking the filly for it." He says, pointing the young Heartmender.
[22:44]	=-=	Quark is now known as Heartshine
[22:44]	Heartshine	looks confused at Quark. "Why me?"
[22:44]	=-=	Heartshine is now known as Quark
[22:44]	Quark	looks at the filly. "Because choices, love."
[22:44]	=-=	Quark is now known as Heartshine
[22:46]	Ragebrew	0x01ACTION looked at Quark, eyes still narrow "Because I do not want my life to be better. I want my life to be full of experiences the likes of which other ponies can not even begin to imagine. I will save the better and easier lives for those that come in my passing. I will suffer, so maybe, just maybe, some small part of the waste will be a better place once I am dead." He looked at Heartshine. "Would ya kindly give me my leg back. An
[22:47]	Ragebrew	so I can make another fusing balm, unless yer able and willing to perform the reattachment."
[22:47]	Midnight_Hour	groans. "I'm freaking tired of this back and forth. I'm making a choice!" she screams before firing off a lightning bolt at Ragebrew.
[22:53]	Heartshine	gasps as the unicorn unleashes a lightning bolt at the earth pony.
[22:53]	Heartshine	pales. "I was going to let him have the leg."
[22:54]	Rabtar	Ragebrew drops like a ton of bricks, twitching as she hits the ground, quite unconscious
[22:54]	=-=	Heartshine is now known as Quark
[22:54]	Ragebrew	only had enough time to look at Midnight before the bolt of lightning stuck her square in the chest, leaving a sizzling hole with a huge ring of blackened flesh around it.
[22:54]	Midnight_Hour	suddenly starts blinking. "What... What happened?"
[22:55]	Long-shot	growls and hops up running over to Rage and sliding next to her "Oh shit! Rage! Rage!?" she puts her head to Rage's chest crying more
[22:55]	Quark	raises his eyebrows at Midnight Hour. "Huh. Didn't see that coming." He shrugs and reattaches the leg to Ragebrew, fusing it with his flesh. "As you wish, Heartshine." THe filly nods, saying it was probably for the best.
[22:56]	Midnight_Hour	looks like she's in a daze. "What?"
[22:56]	Elektron	's eyes widen as he charges over "RAGEBREW! NO!"
[22:57]	Quark	watches as Elektron bolts, his member bouncing. "Ah, thing of beauty that. You should keep it!" He looks dismayed as he notes Heartshine turning purple with embarrassment. "Oh dear, time to send you home." He says, snapping his fingers. The filly disappears in a poof of green smoke.
[23:00]	Ragebrew	slumped on the ground, her eyes glossed over and her coat in full FWUFF mode. One of her ammo cases had gotten knocked open impact with the ground, and a single apple rolled out of it while Rage twitched spasmaticly.
[23:01]	Long-shot	holds her head to Rage's neck hearing her breath slowly "Damnit soldier! I-I can't loose another! N-No no no no no!" she pants picking her head of Rage's and picking her head up resting it in her hooves as she cried stroking her mane softly "P-Please Rage... please be okay..." she muttered closing her eyes and gritting her teeth as her breathing picked up "MIDNIGHT! NEVER AGAIN! YOU HEAR ME...
[23:01]	Long-shot	...RECRUIT!" she screamed glaring at her with wet eyes
[23:01]	Quark	the filly gone, he looks over the group. "Welp, the reason why I brought you all here was to let you know that Project 42 is bad news." He takes on a weird voice and waves his hands spookily. "THE GREAT DRAGON HAS SPOKEN!"
[23:01]	Midnight_Hour	blinks again. "Oh no! What happened to Ragebrew?"
[23:02]	Quark	beams. "I love using the SCARY VOICE!"
[23:03]	Quark	waves a pawed hand. "Alright, you lot are no fun. TIme to go pester..." He looks distant a moment. "Well, time to go tell Heartshine some awful shit is going ot happen to her and that she's got some really 'fun' choices coming up soon."
[23:03]	Midnight_Hour	stands up, rushing over to Ragebrew, and pulls out one of her two potions. "This should work, right?" she asks before shoving a potion down Ragebrew's throat.
[23:03]	Quark	smiles. "Now for parting gifts." He pushes Midnight Hour away from Ragebrew and puts a finger on the downed mare. "YOu'll wake up once I leave, fully healed and with your leg."
[23:05]	Quark	turns to Midnight Hour. "Here." he hands her a bottle of shampoo labelled Head and Shoulders. "Use this for your mane, it'll keep it nice and shiney for ya."
[23:06]	Quark	pats Merciful_Devotion. "YOu've been a good little mare." he leans in and whispers to her. "The next time to have sex will be amazing." he says with a wink.
[23:06]	Midnight_Hour	blinks. "What's going on?"
[23:06]	Quark	looks at Elektron, winks, and whispers 'enjoy'
[23:07]	Elektron	quickly turns to face Quark "Yo-You're not turning me back?!"
[23:07]	Quark	turns to Long-shot and looks very concerned at her, and pulls her close. "I hate to tell you this, but the next time you have sex, you WILL get pregnant. Even if it's your hoof." He whisperes sagely before popping up. "Toodles!" And he disappears in a poof of green smoke
[23:08]	Quark	poofs back in, rolls his eyes at electron, and reduces his size by an inch and poofs away.
[23:09]	Long-shot	blinks and flops down "Wow... and I really envied that draconequss... now I want to cry harder..." she said before laying next to Rage and crying softly
[23:10]	Quark	pops back in. "Ok, fine Elektron." He reduces Elektron's size further so that he's merely VERY well endowed. He grumbles something about GMs and poofs.
[23:11]	Midnight_Hour	looks around. "What happened to Ragebrew? Did Quark shoot him or something?"
[23:13]	Ragebrew	snaps her eyes open and bolts upright, gasping for breath and frantically checking her chest for scorch wounds. There... nothing. Not even a discoloration of her fwuff. "Ya... Ya blasted me... With lightning..."
[23:16]	Midnight_Hour	"What? When? I was reading, trying to ignore your whining, then you're on the ground," Midnight_Hour says while blinking in confusion.
[23:17]	Elektron	still blushes slightly, but can at least walk fairly normally again
[23:17]	=-=	Quark is now known as Heartshine
[23:18]	Ragebrew	pushed herself off the ground, stepping forward to Midnight, and loomed over her, casting the much smaller mare in her shadow. "Don't fucking lie to me. I heard yer voice before I was smote, and it wasn't that Quark fucker. Yer the only pony I know who can sling lightning bolts, so DON"T TRY TO FUCKING LIE TO ME!"
[23:20]	Midnight_Hour	backs away from Ragebrew, looking absolutely terrified. "What are you talking about? Stay back!" she shouts as she tries to retreat.
[23:21]	Ragebrew	just glared at Midnight as she backed away. "Don't lie to me." She slammed her hoof into the ground.
[23:22]	Midnight_Hour	starts to tear up. "I'm not lying! I don't know what happened!" she screams while still backing away from the furious mare.
[23:22]	Long-shot	gets up with a totally exhausted expression turning from all of them and slowly just simply trotting away looking at the ground not even thinking to herself, she felt like walking til she could no more
[23:24]	Elektron	trots over to Long-shot "What wrong?"
[23:25]	Ragebrew	0x01ACTION went from a very angry, enraged ball of fwuff, to just a limp looking mass. She looked down at her right leg, smiling as it was back to its, for the time, proper red stone look. "Maybe ya didn't. Maybe it was all that fucker's doing. Maybe I'm losing my mind and he did hit me. I don't know." She picked up her worn and abused duster from the group, slinging it onto her shoulders. "And did ya forget Midnight? I'm never gonna rai
[23:25]	Ragebrew	raise a hoof against ya, even if ya did blast me with a lightning bolt."
[23:26]	Long-shot	ignores him as she sobs just slowly staring into the distance "I-I'm.. useless.." she said in a whisper sniffling "No parents.. no squad.. no nothing..." she whimpered
[23:26]	Ragebrew	looks over to Long-shot "Ya got us, Long. And don't ya dare call yerself useless, cause yer not."
[23:27]	Elektron	holds Long-shot tight "Want to see what I made before? I never did get to show you properly cause of all that confusion."
[23:32]	Ragebrew	gathers what supplies fell out of her ammo cases after she was blasted, taking a moment to brush off the apple before setting it back in its case. She looked to the sky, and clicked her tongue. "We'll have to find shelter soon... Sisters know whats out here."
[23:33]	Long-shot	keeps trotting "I..I don't know or care.. I kinda just wished I had what I used too.. now.. I dunno.." she looked to the moon hopefully with a sigh as a tear fell off her face
[23:35]	Rabtar	there is cloud cover and it's day time...
[23:35]	Elektron	holds Long-shot "I know... believe me I know." He said as a tear of his own glistened "I'd do anything to go back to Scrapyard. Back to fixing machines. The morning of the attack, I was supposed to be fixing a whole batch of new turrets."
[23:36]	Elektron	"Instead, I was running for my life without ever saying goodbye to anypony I knew."
[23:38]	Ragebrew	"Waste has a horrible habit of throwing ponies into horrible situations. But it's our hope to throw it back at the waste and make the most of it. Yer alive, what matters. Yer free, also matters. Yer not looking to die any time soon. Sounds like a win in all areas in my book."
[23:39]	Midnight_Hour	follows, looking very shaken.
[23:40]	Long-shot	nods "I-I don't know.. I guess your right" she sniffles pulling out her .45 and holding it in front of her giving a soft smile "At least I got this right?" she asked optimistically
[23:40]	Ragebrew	looks around slowly, her skilled eye picking up a few distinct landmarks. "We're close to Trailer Trash... About a day, be my guess. We're close to Harmony Heights as well... I can smell water on the wind..." She looked to the south, eying the dim glow she could barely see. "South is not an option... That way leads to death."
[23:44]	Ragebrew	"But I got a feeling I know why now...." She looked back to the party, shifting her bags until they were set comfortably. "Where to, children? Harmony Heights is on a river, easy enough to get some water there, might find some work or problems to solve too."
[23:45]	Elektron	looks to Ragebrew from holding Long-shot "Do we need to tell Trailer Trash anything else? Or is our business with them complete?"
[23:46]	Ragebrew	"My business isn't, but it can wait."
[23:52]	Ragebrew	followed off towards Harmony Heights, since no one gave her a path to take. "We'll look for shelter. I am tired, hungry, and this pie calls me to."

[23:57]	=-=	Quark is now known as Heartshine
[23:57]	Long-shot	sighs staying quiet and following tiredly worn out from sobbing
[23:58]	Elektron	follows Ragebrew, staying close to Long-shot
[00:03]	Ragebrew	moved through the desert at a slow trot, feeling very fatigued after today's events. She muttered as she walked, eyeing the wastes for somewhere safe to hang her bags for the night.
[00:04]	Rabtar	they find a rock outcropping that is big enough to be used as shelter
[00:06]	Ragebrew	"That'll do, Waste, that'll do..." She motioned for the party to follow, walking underneath the outcropping and sitting down with a heavy thump. Her alchemy case popped out almost instantly, and she went to work cooking... something. Where did she get that can of evaoprised milk?
[00:07]	Elektron	settles in and buts his bags down. He could hear the Alien Rifle calling to him... but ignored it
[00:09]	Midnight_Hour	sits in a corner, reading her books.
[00:09]	Long-shot	sighs and goes next to Midnight_Hour and reads her book too
[00:10]	Elektron	elects to do a few final checks of his creation of the day, making sure all the gaskets were tight and gauges were active
[00:10]	Ragebrew	did something she never did...She was totally silent as she went about cooking. No shifting, no humming, just... silent. She was busy slivering an apple, setting something large into a dutch oven, letting it sit on the hotplate and warm while she sliced apples into small wedges.
[00:13]	Ragebrew	put a second pan on the hotplate, a smaller sauce pan. A small package of brown sugar was pulled from her spice rack, along with some regular, and a small package of preserved butter. "Last of it, eh? A shame, this sounds too tasty to try just once..." She hummed and put it all into the pan.
[00:17]	Long-shot	felt sleepy resting next to Midnight_Hour slowly dozing but forcing her eyes to stay open intrigued by the tactics and takedowns able to be preformed while in stealth
[00:18]	Midnight_Hour	yawns, feeling exhausted, before letting her head fall on her book and use it as a pillow.
[00:18]	Ragebrew	worked uninterrupted, everyone seemingly engrossed in their assorted hobbies too much to talk. Good. Talking felt odd right now. She watched as the goop she had meshed together began to bubble and pop slightly, releasing a very sweet aroma into the air. She threw the apple slivers into it as she flicked off the hotplate.
[00:20]	Ragebrew	waited a few moments, before removing the lid of her dutch oven. Inside was the pie she had boughten earlier in Trailer Trash. It was once again perfectly heated, oozing some sauce out the top. She plucked it out and carved it into six slices, covering the top of each with a thick layer of sliced apples and caramel sauce.
[00:20]	Ragebrew	set a plate with it's bounty next to each pony, before moving to the entrance of the outcropping, her back to everyone. "To new horizons. May they rot in hell." She took a bite of her pie.
[00:22]	Ragebrew	"Someone watch Midnight before her pie gets cold. I bought it for her. Wanna build bridges, not burn them."
[00:22]	Elektron	releases a large PSSSSSSH of steam as he is hoofed the plate, and sets the creation down near his packs before eating some
[00:22]	Long-shot	nodded thankfully to Rage slowly nudging Midnight_Hour awake waving her pie in front of her nose before resting my head on her back using her as a pillow as gently as possible as she eats her pie

[00:23]	<--|	Merciful_Devotion has left #piss_poor_group
[00:25]	Midnight_Hour	cracks her eyes open, feeling horrible for some reason. "Pie?" She sniffs. "Apple Pie?" Midnight stares at it, takes a bite, swallows, and closes her eyes and laying it down on her book again.
[00:30]	Rabtar	our group settles for the night, reflecting on there encounter with the Quark and non raider Heartshine, still undecided on where to go next. For good RP and stuffs the group gets 800xp
