- [2015-09-05 20:55:09]<SpiritOfFate> Group 0-II: *Freedom's Price* - Session #041 starts now
- [2015-09-05 20:55:22]<SpiritOfFate> =======================================================
- [2015-09-05 20:56:22]* Ignis ([email protected]) has joined
- [2015-09-05 21:03:08]<SpiritOfFate> A strong young griffon flies into Nebulous Labs, the makeshift research facility in the restored residential district of the old city, where the group is gathered.
- [2015-09-05 21:06:57]* Swiss_Provolone stands up and clears his throat, "You Jamal's griff?" he asks the griffin
- [2015-09-05 21:07:21]* Royal_Lace hopes so
- [2015-09-05 21:08:06]* Ignis just raises his eyes to the newcomer...he was going to turn into one of those soon enuff.
- [2015-09-05 21:09:04]<SpiritOfFate> Full_Physical is still back at the Mudpony camp.
- [2015-09-05 21:09:59]<SpiritOfFate> "Nowhere to use our points? Why?" Clam, one of the small filly raiders asks.
- [2015-09-05 21:10:24]* Firefly smiles and waves to the griffin. Maybe its a new friend?
- [2015-09-05 21:10:49]<SpiritOfFate> "Because the Arbiter isn't here, duh!" Crabby says.
- [2015-09-05 21:11:32]<Full_Physical> "Because, beating weak ponies up is considered to be anti-social behavior, and the ponies here don't want to reward it."
- [2015-09-05 21:12:31]<SpiritOfFate> "That's me! Name's Julio. You got stuff neding fixing?" The griffon waves.
- [2015-09-05 21:13:35]<SpiritOfFate> "No problem! We just gotta beat up the tough ones." Clam grins. "We did that before. Remember the Sirens? We kicked their asses for good."
- [2015-09-05 21:14:07]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Boss here needs ya for some project, she'll tell ya more." he replies, letting Royal_Lace take the charge
- [2015-09-05 21:15:17]* Royal_Lace Sets down her sample plate of Hawkdown Alloy and trots over to welcome him, "Hello Julio, welcome to my shop, My name is Royal Lace and this is Swiss, these ponies here are also friends of mine. Thank you for coming, as for why I asked I was actually hoping you may help me design a new set of armor to pattern"
- [2015-09-05 21:15:41]<Full_Physical> "Well, the thing is, we don't use points here, we use bottlecaps for trade, and you're not going to get any bottlecaps for beating people up unless there's a bounty on them."
- [2015-09-05 21:19:53]<SpiritOfFate> "New? That's not something they ask me a lot." He scratches his head. "What's in your mind?"
- [2015-09-05 21:21:29]<SpiritOfFate> "Geez, you are so fucking picky." Crabby says.
- [2015-09-05 21:22:23]<SpiritOfFate> "What is this bounty thing?" Spiny says, through her tinny voice implant.
- [2015-09-05 21:24:44]* Royal_Lace Lace trots back to her work table and stands the plate up for inspection, "Well I suppose it dosent have to be a fully new design, but I would like to see about fabricating freshly crafted and fully repaired armor that uses this paticular metal in its design"
- [2015-09-05 21:25:14]<Full_Physical> "If a person breaks the law and refuses to submit themselves to the law, the authorities may place a bounty on them in order to give people an incentive to capture them, in other words, a reward."
- [2015-09-05 21:27:14]<SpiritOfFate> "Alright. What is 'law'?" Spiny asks
- [2015-09-05 21:29:57]<Full_Physical> "The law is a series of rules that members of a community have to follow."
- [2015-09-05 21:31:53]<Full_Physical> "If you don't obey the law, the ponies in charge will try to punish you. That's why you're here. Because it's against the law to attack other people unless you're protecting yourself."
- [2015-09-05 21:36:37]<Full_Physical> "Let me put it like this."
- [2015-09-05 21:39:36]<SpiritOfFate> Julio picks up the plate of metal, examining it on both sides and on the edge. He slams it twice on the floor and then bites it, then sets it back down. "Tough material, but kinda weird. I think I can do it if the plates are made right. Do you want a breastplate or something like it?"
- [2015-09-05 21:40:12]<Full_Physical> "Let's say there is a pony named Candy Cane, and a pony named Able Body. Able Body gave the Overmare a better present to the Overmare than Candy Cane gave to the Overmare, and this makes Candy Cane look bad, so he kills Able Body. Now killing people is against the law, so as the leader of her community, the Overmare is obligated to punish Candy Cane."
- [2015-09-05 21:42:00]* Royal_Lace looks to Swiss, "Well I was hopeing that we could talk about that, You, my head of security here, and I about the design. I suppose I am looking for something that dosent restrict mobility to much and could be easily adapted to various needs.
- [2015-09-05 21:42:03]<Royal_Lace> "
- [2015-09-05 21:42:52]<SpiritOfFate> "Why are these ponies just giving stuff away? They are all dumb." Crabby says
- [2015-09-05 21:44:26]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "I do prefer to keep mobile when I can, s'why I stick to my Security Armour. Strikes a good balance between cost, protection and mobility."
- [2015-09-05 21:47:22]<Full_Physical> "To appease the Overmare of course. After breaking the law, Candy Cane is obliged to surrender himself to the Overmare or her security team, but if he does not, the normal thing for the Overmare to do would be to send her security team to capture Candy Cane. However, the security team might be afraid of Candy Cane, or they might be busy battling a radroach infestation. In this case, the Overmare could put a bounty on Candy Cane's head, meaning
- [2015-09-05 21:50:39]<SpiritOfFate> Spiny and Clam hear attentively.
- [2015-09-05 21:53:41]<SpiritOfFate> "Alright, let me think..." Julio waves the plate of metal. "Hm, it might be light enough. Metal armor usually is normally heavier."
- [2015-09-05 21:57:37]<SpiritOfFate> "How many are you going to need?" Julio asks
- [2015-09-05 21:57:56]* Royal_Lace points a hoof, "Its actually a very advanced Cermaic compound, Its discovery was actually a happy accident when designing a heat resistant material for another project. Have only used it a few times so far, its not so easy to produce but we can manage".
- [2015-09-05 21:58:33]* Royal_Lace humms and looks to Swiss, "well I was hopeing to outfit a small team with them, maybe it would be wise to stock up a good supply of them? what do you think Swiss?"
- [2015-09-05 22:00:00]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "I ain't sure how much ya got to spare, but at the very least any front line ponies should be well equipped. Though, I don't think any armour will stop a hound's claw."
- [2015-09-05 22:01:44]<Full_Physical> "So yeah, if the authorities of your community put a bounty on a pony, you can get a reward for beating them up if you capture, or sometimes kill them, depending on the bounty. You're also allowed to beat people up, if you have to to stop them from hurting someone who they aren't allowed to."
- [2015-09-05 22:02:06]<Full_Physical> "You won't necessarily get a reward though."
- [2015-09-05 22:05:44]<SpiritOfFate> "Ceramic? Ceramic doesn't take well to bending, you are gonna have to make the parts the right shape." Julio says, and examines it again. "It's pretty tough for ceramic."
- [2015-09-05 22:07:11]* Royal_Lace Nods, "we can manage shaping casts here, We just need the designs for the plates. this was just a sample plate we used for testing, one of three. We put it under quite a bit of sress testing back when we discovered it last year"
- [2015-09-05 22:07:32]<SpiritOfFate> "We could do that." Spiny says, looking at the others.
- [2015-09-05 22:11:27]<SpiritOfFate> "Alright, then I just need some measuring of the folks who will be wearing that."
- [2015-09-05 22:12:15]* Swiss_Provolone steps forwards, "Do what ya need to."
- [2015-09-05 22:13:25]* Firefly watches the process carefully, trying to learn as much as possible.
- [2015-09-05 22:13:44]<Full_Physical> "Let's suppose there is a pony named Anaconda Mousey. While she is on her way home from work when she is confronted by a knife wielding Sparkle Cider. "Give me your handbag, and I'll cut you!" He says through his knife. And so, realizing that she may have to use force to protect herself, Mousy kicks Cider in the head until he is stunned, and makes a swift retreat. Mousy will probably not be punished, because she attacked Cider in self defense.
- [2015-09-05 22:16:37]* Royal_Lace blinks, "will we have to do custom fittings each time? Can we at least make the primary plates of some general sizes to help eleviate the production efforts? I havent fully staffed the team yet"
- [2015-09-05 22:17:46]<SpiritOfFate> "But if she doesn't fight much, she'd get her ass kicked." Crabby says, puzzled.
- [2015-09-05 22:19:00]<SpiritOfFate> "Eh, we can get by with some padding, but we have winged and wingless folks." Julio says
- [2015-09-05 22:20:03]* Firefly waves a hoof. "I could be the model for those with wings!"
- [2015-09-05 22:20:34]* Royal_Lace nods, "Ah, when you say it like that it dose seem obvious, I should have thought of that"
- [2015-09-05 22:22:07]<Full_Physical> "Probably, but my point is, if she wins, the Overmare won't punish her for beating Cider up. Then, when Anaconda Mousy gets home, she finds a Silver Anchor mercenary attempting to subdue her common law husband, Biscuits And Gravy. Biscuits And Gravy used to be a slave, and the mercenary is being payed to bring him back to his former master. However, cooperating with slavers is against the law, so Mousy picks up a wine bottle and breaks it over
- [2015-09-05 22:23:16]* Royal_Lace shuffles her hooves a bit, "What other resources would we need for this? I need to know what it will take for each unit"
- [2015-09-05 22:23:19]<SpiritOfFate> "And who decides all that?" Spiny asks
- [2015-09-05 22:27:25]<SpiritOfFate> "Well, we'll need bolts to keep it together, cloth for padding and some glue." Julio says.
- [2015-09-05 22:28:19]<Full_Physical> "That depends on the community. In Mousy's community, the Overmare decides what the law is. In other communities, a princess, or a goddess, or a raider warlord, or a city council might decide what the law is."
- [2015-09-05 22:29:50]<SpiritOfFate> "But here?" Spiny insists
- [2015-09-05 22:29:54]* Royal_Lace nods, "Sounds reasonable, I appreciate the help with this"
- [2015-09-05 22:30:15]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Ya got all that in stock ma'am?"
- [2015-09-05 22:30:43]<Full_Physical> "I don't know, Tamara maybe?"
- [2015-09-05 22:33:50]<Full_Physical> "Hey, guard, do you know who makes the law here?" Fizz shouts at his observer
- [2015-09-05 22:34:41]* Royal_Lace "Maybe?" she asks taking a mental inventory of her lab as she looks around the shelves and work stations
- [2015-09-05 22:37:45]<SpiritOfFate> "Huh? Tamara does, why?" The distracted guard replies
- [2015-09-05 22:38:18]<Full_Physical> "I'm giving your guests a lecture on civics."
- [2015-09-05 22:39:07]<Full_Physical> "Yep, it's Tamara." He tells Spiny.
- [2015-09-05 22:40:37]<SpiritOfFate> "Good luck with that. The raiders messed these kids heads pretty hard." The guard says
- [2015-09-05 22:41:30]<SpiritOfFate> "Oh yeah! Come here and I'm gonna mess up your face." Crabby shouts.
- [2015-09-05 22:42:06]* Royal_Lace Lace nods, "Yes, I can handle that, may take a few arangments but It can be done. Now we just need ponies to put into those suits. Ponies of good morals, made from hard stuff, real problem solvers who can go out and make Nebulous proud and give us a good face in the feild!"
- [2015-09-05 22:42:50]* Swiss_Provolone chuckles, "Don't know if I live up to all that, boss." he replies to Royal_Lace
- [2015-09-05 22:44:35]* Royal_Lace looks back to Firefly, "What do you think about Swiss, brave enough to help lead a team of problem solvers?"
- [2015-09-05 22:45:39]* Firefly scratches her head. "I don't really know Swiss that well, Miss Lace." She shrugs. "Maybe? Batmare could definitely do it, though she tends to work alone..."
- [2015-09-05 22:49:47]* Swiss_Provolone shakes his head, "It ain't that part ma'am, just don't think I give the best impressions. Not for what ya want to do."
- [2015-09-05 22:50:10]* Royal_Lace shrugs, "Fare enough Firefly, in any case I still need to find other ponies"
- [2015-09-05 22:51:19]* Firefly nods. "Well, what about recruiting from the Nnoto? Maybe they'd like to help?" She smiles. "Oooh! If you put me in a suit, it look all spiffy and make a good impression!" She nods.
- [2015-09-05 22:52:35]<SpiritOfFate> "Got it." Spiny says to Full_Physical
- [2015-09-05 22:54:14]* Royal_Lace humms, "The Nnoto is a good place to look, that is a good idea, not sure what ponies would think about a group that hires fillies for dangerous work though"
- [2015-09-05 22:54:33]<Full_Physical> "Oh yes, that reminds me, I forgot the most important part of Anaconda Mousy's story." Fizz tells Crabby.
- [2015-09-05 22:54:59]* Firefly stomps her hoof. "I'm a big pony! I got my cutie mark and everything!"
- [2015-09-05 22:56:55]* Royal_Lace pauses and then raises her hoof, "Ask your mother"
- [2015-09-05 22:57:29]* Swiss_Provolone "I'm not doubting your capabilities Firefly, but fact is you need more experience. That'll come with time. As long as I'm around I'll keep ya and the group as safe as I can."
- [2015-09-05 22:57:42]<SpiritOfFate> Julio laughs. "The little one got spirit."
- [2015-09-05 22:58:13]* Firefly smiles and nods. "Ok! I'll be right back!" Firefly is off to find her mother!
- [2015-09-05 22:59:58]<Full_Physical> "The next day, Mousy was walking to work when she saw a group of security ponies beating up Candy Cane. Candy Cane was an old friend of Mousy, so she yelled at the security ponies to stop, and when they ignored her, she kicked one in the head. The security ponies then dogpiled her, beat her up, and put her in jail. Normally, Mousy would be allowed to beat ponies up to protect her friends, but that night, Candy Cane had killed his brother Able
- [2015-09-05 23:01:06]* Royal_Lace lace looks to Julio, "the little one also has wing blades and a quicker reflexes than most, I would much rather she stay home with her mother and father though, they are good friends and they worry about there daughter"
- [2015-09-05 23:01:33]* Royal_Lace "Still cant belive they let her fly that mechanized monstrosity at the garage, or that it even held together"
- [2015-09-05 23:01:52]<SpiritOfFate> Clam's eyes go out of focus. "This place is confusing."
- [2015-09-05 23:03:15]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "In the end though, she ain't gonna be a filly forever. She'll need all the experience she can get if she insists on doin' what she does." he says to Royal_Lace
- [2015-09-05 23:07:03]* Ignis has quit (Quit: )
- [2015-09-05 23:12:14]<Full_Physical> "You seem like smart kids, I'm sure you'll figure it out if you apply yourselves."
- [2015-09-05 23:12:48]<SpiritOfFate> "Well, it's like my mother says, you gotta learn to fly early." Julio says
- [2015-09-05 23:13:19]<SpiritOfFate> Crabby grumbles.
- [2015-09-05 23:14:30]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "I was about her age when I decided to go out on my own. Fillies and colts grow up someday."
- [2015-09-05 23:15:04]* Royal_Lace nods, "As somepony who has attmepted flight without a lifes experiance with it I can understand"
- [2015-09-05 23:16:03]* Firefly flies back home to try and find her mother.
- [2015-09-05 23:16:09]* Royal_Lace hums, "Speaking of... do you think we could design another set? I much heavier one? Maybe one designed for... say a taller mare?"
- [2015-09-05 23:16:50]<SpiritOfFate> "Sure, if you get the measurement." Julio says.
- [2015-09-05 23:17:10]* Swiss_Provolone raises an eyebrow at Royal_Lace
- [2015-09-05 23:18:05]* Royal_Lace coghs and looks around the lab to see who is there, "I see... and if I could produce her do You think you can be descreat about this paticular set of designs?"
- [2015-09-05 23:20:31]<SpiritOfFate> There are a few lab workers around, but they didn't join the conversation and are busy with their own work
- [2015-09-05 23:22:32]<SpiritOfFate> Julio blinks. "Sure. I can get you the designs. But this material doesn't look like it's easy to make and shape."
- [2015-09-05 23:23:39]<Full_Physical> "What parts do you not get so far?"
- [2015-09-05 23:26:12]<SpiritOfFate> "Sometimes you can't beat up ponies, and sometimes you can, but sometimes you can, unless you can't but they can and then, like, what?" Clam says and shrugs
- [2015-09-05 23:27:12]* Royal_Lace rubs the back of her neck, "Humm... well you see its rather embarasing, but should it come to be necisarry that I enter another conflict, something I truly hope will not happen, I anticipate making a few temperary alterations to myself to make myself better suited and likey to survive. If you are ready I can make the alterations now so you can measure me"
- [2015-09-05 23:30:18]<SpiritOfFate> "Ooookay." Julio says, confused.
- [2015-09-05 23:31:39]* Royal_Lace horn gathers power as she performs the magics!
- [2015-09-05 23:33:36]<Full_Physical> "Um, okay, let's go back to the beginning. Do you understand why Anaconda Mousy was allowed to beat up Cider Sparkle the knife pony?"
- [2015-09-05 23:37:01]* Royal_Lace a bright light gathers around her as her form, silueted against the light shifts and grows. When it clears what is left behind is taller, more sturdy version version of Lace, one that has a longer horn and wings.
- [2015-09-05 23:37:58]* Swiss_Provolone blinks, "Celestia ma'am, didn't realize ya could do that."
- [2015-09-05 23:39:08]* Royal_Lace blushes, "It makes a statment, sometimes statments can end things quickly
- [2015-09-05 23:39:09]<Royal_Lace> "
- [2015-09-05 23:39:35]<SpiritOfFate> "Yeah, because he was trying to stab her and, like, fuck that." Clam says.
- [2015-09-05 23:41:58]<Full_Physical> "Exactly, Mousy had the right to defend herself. Now, do you understand why she was allowed to beat up the Silver Anchor mercenary who tried to kidnap Biscuits And Gravy?"
- [2015-09-05 23:42:01]* Swiss_Provolone "Thats quite the statement, thats for sure."
- [2015-09-05 23:42:17]<SpiritOfFate> "Oh, wow. You look just like the usurpers." Julio thinks about it. "That makes a lot of sense. With all, taking it over and such."
- [2015-09-05 23:43:10]* Royal_Lace blinks, "Usurpers?"
- [2015-09-05 23:43:31]* Royal_Lace blinks more, "Taking what over?"
- [2015-09-05 23:44:31]* Swiss_Provolone waves a hoof around, "Think hes talkin' 'bout this place ma'am. Ya didn't exactly inherit the place, right?"
- [2015-09-05 23:44:49]<SpiritOfFate> "Not really. Weren't they doing what they were told?" Clam asks.
- [2015-09-05 23:45:17]* Firefly arrives back at the garage. "Hey Mom? Got a question for you!"
- [2015-09-05 23:45:35]<SpiritOfFate> "But it wasn't the right boss that let them." Spiny shakes his head at Clam
- [2015-09-05 23:47:54]<Full_Physical> "Right, Biscuits's former master did order the mercenary to kidnap Biscuits, but in Mousy and Biscuits's community, it is illegal to kidnap people, even if they uses to be slaves."
- [2015-09-05 23:48:25]<SpiritOfFate> "You know, big mares with all the extras tacked-on that wanted to conquer everything. You know, from the stories." Julio tilts his head. "Weren't they supposed to have stripes?"
- [2015-09-05 23:49:27]<SpiritOfFate> *her
- [2015-09-05 23:50:16]<SpiritOfFate> Spiny smiles slightly.
- [2015-09-05 23:51:12]<Full_Physical> "Do you get it now?" Fizz asks the others.
- [2015-09-05 23:52:03]<SpiritOfFate> "Yeah!" Clam says
- [2015-09-05 23:52:12]<SpiritOfFate> Spiny nods and seems pensive.
- [2015-09-05 23:55:22]<SpiritOfFate> Crabby seems to be ignoring Full_Physical
- [2015-09-05 23:55:47]<Full_Physical> Crabby? Do you understand?
- [2015-09-05 23:57:59]<SpiritOfFate> "Whatever. I'm tired of this." Crabby says and lies down
- [2015-09-06 00:06:45]<Full_Physical> "Crabby, listen, I want to help you get out of this place, I really do. But if you want to convince Tamara to let you go, you're going to have to learn this stuff. Do you want me to come back later?"
- [2015-09-06 00:11:17]* Royal_Lace humms, then eyes open wider a bit, "Oooooh wait, I think i remember something about this. I saw an old bit of tabloid journalisim months and months back about how the Equestria war were manipulating the local goverments or some such bit of news, im not sure how accurate the report was but it was rather dramatic looking. No doubt why it it stuck with me"
- [2015-09-06 00:14:38]<SpiritOfFate> Crabby sighs. "I'm sick of this. I'm sick of ponies bossing us around. Wild Swing, the creepy rotting donkey, the Arbiter, and now you and this Tamara. Why bother?"
- [2015-09-06 00:16:57]<SpiritOfFate> Falling Snow is looking over some notes. She turns to the filly. "What is it, Firefly?"
- [2015-09-06 00:17:39]* Firefly smiles over to her mother. "Can I help Miss Lace with a project for the labs?"
- [2015-09-06 00:18:42]<Full_Physical> "Because, in most wasteland communities the law isn't very complicated, once you get used to it, and once you learn it, Tamara will probably stay out of your mane most of the time.
- [2015-09-06 00:20:12]<SpiritOfFate> "Aren't you a busy filly? What is it?" Falling Snow asks
- [2015-09-06 00:21:14]* Firefly smiles. "To help with some of the Hawkeye armor stuff."
- [2015-09-06 00:22:31]<SpiritOfFate> "Alright. I'll give it a shot. But don't think I'll do stuff for you." Crabby says.
- [2015-09-06 00:23:10]<SpiritOfFate> Falling Snow smiles. "Sure, I don't see anything wrong about that."
- [2015-09-06 00:24:50]* Royal_Lace shrugs, "Im not well versed in the history of old equestria, much less the history of this area, what were the old stories like? Of the Usurpers"
- [2015-09-06 00:25:57]* Full_Physical smiles. "Great! Okay. So, do you all understand why the security ponies were allowed to beat up Candy Cane?"
- [2015-09-06 00:26:37]* Firefly smiles and nods. "Yeah!" She flies back out to the Labs.
- [2015-09-06 00:27:24]<SpiritOfFate> Clam and Crabby think.
- [2015-09-06 00:28:20]<SpiritOfFate> "Because Candy Cane broke the rule and hurt a pony without being allowed. The security was allowed." Spiny says.
- [2015-09-06 00:28:42]<SpiritOfFate> "Oooh! Got it." Clam says.
- [2015-09-06 00:31:25]<Full_Physical> "Right, and for the last part, do you understand why the security ponies were allowed to beat up Anaconda Mousy?"
- [2015-09-06 00:33:03]<SpiritOfFate> "They are the ones who brought the Great War on their endless rage and need for conquest. They destroyed their lands and that wasn't enough, so they turned on others. They are like some kind of boogeypony now." Julio says.
- [2015-09-06 00:34:14]* Royal_Lace hums, "I see... Did not know they carried such imagry in this area, there is still so much I dont know about my new home"
- [2015-09-06 00:34:20]* Royal_Lace nods politely, "thanks"
- [2015-09-06 00:37:04]* Firefly arrives back in the labs. "She said it was ok!"
- [2015-09-06 00:37:08]<SpiritOfFate> Julio looks pensive for a moment. "You are not going to burn everything down, are you?"
- [2015-09-06 00:43:47]* Royal_Lace shakes her head, "Goodness no, I have no plans for such things, not in the least. This is simply a temporary look, part of a spell to augment my abilities. you can put your mind at ease". She looks over her sholder, still in alicorn mode, looking at Firefly, "back so soon?"
- [2015-09-06 00:44:30]* Firefly blinks in surprise, narrowing her eyes as she looks Ali-Lace. "You look like Miss Lace..."
- [2015-09-06 00:45:15]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Guess we might be workin' together now Firefly." he says to the filly, "And that is Lace, shes workin' her magic again."
- [2015-09-06 00:45:44]* Royal_Lace looks to Julio, "are you finished with measurments?"
- [2015-09-06 00:45:53]<SpiritOfFate> "Alright, I thought so. They said the Usurpers made ponies into slaves, not freed them." Julio says, letting out a breath he didnt realize he held
- [2015-09-06 00:46:17]* Firefly smiles. "Oh! Ok. Yeah, she said it was ok. And I fly super-fast. You know that." The filly settles down onto the floor.
- [2015-09-06 00:46:56]<SpiritOfFate> "Because the boss mare didn't let Anaconda beat them?" Crabby tries
- [2015-09-06 00:46:58]* Royal_Lace grins, "Ohhh really?"
- [2015-09-06 00:49:38]* Firefly nods. "Yup. I don't know if I fly faster than everyone here, but I think I do!" She smiles and starts walking around, looking for the oil.
- [2015-09-06 00:50:07]<SpiritOfFate> There is a barrel of oil in the back.
- [2015-09-06 00:51:31]<Full_Physical> "Well yes, but the important thing to consider is why the boss mare didn't let her beat them."
- [2015-09-06 00:51:37]* Firefly looks over at the griffin. "Do you need to measure me now?"
- [2015-09-06 00:53:06]* Royal_Lace skews her face a bit, "your mother said you could work for a private force of adventuring ponies delivering relife to the local communities and solving problems they cannot? your certain of this?"
- [2015-09-06 00:53:12]* ObserverStatus ([email protected]) has joined
- [2015-09-06 00:53:35]* Full_Physical has quit (Quit: Bye)
- [2015-09-06 00:53:44]* Firefly smiles up to Royal Lace innocently. "Yup!" Innocent filly is innocent.
- [2015-09-06 00:53:44]* ObserverStatus is now known as Full_Physical
- [2015-09-06 00:54:31]<SpiritOfFate> "Because it was payback already. For the other pony." Crabby says.
- [2015-09-06 00:57:49]<Full_Physical> "Yes, good. The security ponies were authorized to punish Candy Cane for killing Able Body. Are there any other reasons you can think of why the security ponies would be allowed to beat up Anaconda Mousy?"
- [2015-09-06 00:58:45]* Swiss_Provolone narrows his eyes at Firefly, but says nothing
- [2015-09-06 00:59:14]* Firefly smiles and looks over to Julio. "So, measurements?"
- [2015-09-06 00:59:43]<SpiritOfFate> "Because she kicked them." Clam says
- [2015-09-06 01:00:57]* Royal_Lace transforms herself back to normal
- [2015-09-06 01:01:11]<Full_Physical> "That is also true. The security ponies are allowed to protect themselves from Mousy. Anything else you can think of?"
- [2015-09-06 01:02:02]<SpiritOfFate> They look at each other and shrug.
- [2015-09-06 01:03:49]* You are now known as SpiritOfEars
- [2015-09-06 01:05:31]<Full_Physical> "The thing is, bosses cannot be everywhere at once, so they have to deputize other ponies to enforce their rules for them. The ponies who enforce their rules may be security guards, soldiers, police, or a sheriff. The problem is, a lot of communities have no reliable way to make sure that the police, soldiers and guards obey the law all of the time, and so, it's usually best not to mess with them. If they beat someone up unlawfully, they'll
- [2015-09-06 01:25:43]<Full_Physical> "-have an easier time getting away with it than most people."
- [2015-09-06 01:26:49]<SpiritOfEars> Julio starts getting measurements from the ponies.
- [2015-09-06 01:27:14]<SpiritOfEars> Crabby smiles.
