[2012-04-02 16:36:10] =-= Eridani is now known as Tani
[2012-04-02 16:49:24] <Sunrise> 3When we last left our heroes... Cloud Dancer was struggling in vain against the restraints as the riding crop struck down against her flank. A weak groan escaped the ball-gag as warm flushes were spreading throughout her-- Woah nelly, wrong script. 
[2012-04-02 16:49:45] <Sunrise> 3When we last left our heroes... They had actually split off into three groups. The first consisting of the aerial based Sedgewick, Tani, Cloud Dancer and Little Gloom had been exploring the lightly wooded area south of the Twilight Observatory. 
[2012-04-02 16:49:50] <Sunrise> 3They had found remnants of Enclave armour, some monitoring equipment and even a helmet with a camera feed but no sign of Whitecoin's group. Night Sweep and Salve had, by themselves, struck out into the wasteland to investigate Impact Crater 4 and returned with a relatively intact Balefire bomb.
[2012-04-02 16:49:56] <Sunrise> 3Lastly Goldie had taken a small group of the Canterbury Chapter Steel Rangers, including Cropwind and Butterballs, to Canterlot to see if they can track down any magical artefacts that would help in the fight against 'Luna'.
[2012-04-02 16:53:11] * Cloud_Dancer beats her wings, flying back towards the observatory. The helmet with recording equipment in her saddlebag and intent to view it in her mind. There was something important on that helmet. She was sure of it! Ofcourse, she was also sure that there was something important about that thing they'd found in the chariot parking area. And in that pretty purple ooze underground.
[2012-04-02 16:53:11] * Cloud_Dancer And the radio systems in the Zanzebra. But this time she was extra-special-super-sure it was important!
[2012-04-02 16:53:36] * Night_Sweep is located back at the observatory, trying to keep the Steel Rangers there from freaking out completely at the prospect of keeping a balefire bomb around. It did send chills to her spine, but hopefully, it wouldn't be around for long...
[2012-04-02 17:01:49] <Sunrise> 3Cloud Dancer beats it back to the observatory with the helmet. She finds Night Sweep amongst a rather shocked crowd of Steel Rangers. She can see beside the Zanzebra a huge bulb made of metal that the Steel Rangers are surrounding. "You can't just move that around like that! It's exceptionally dangerous!" 3The flustered red scribe shouts up at Night Sweep.
[2012-04-02 17:03:23] * Cloud_Dancer blinks and looks down at the big metal thingy. Diving out of the sky and quickly fluttering around it, examining the object carefully. Well carefully by her standards, which meant only lightly tapping it with her hooves and looking for any kind of interesting markings, "Ooooh. What'd you find Night_Sweep!? This thing looks awesome!" rising back up towards the ship pretty
[2012-04-02 17:03:23] * Cloud_Dancer quick, "Oh. Uh. Can we use the radio downstairs? I wanna watch a recording!"
[2012-04-02 17:03:28] <Night_Sweep> "Ugh, look, I told you already, this won't be for long; we just need a place to store it safely for a day or two, if at all. You do realize what this is for, right?" Night_Sweep says, looking a little worn out by the diatribe.
[2012-04-02 17:04:20] * Tani takes a look at the massive object resting ominously beside the airship. Was that...!?
[2012-04-02 17:05:03] * Night_Sweep looks at Cloud_Dancer, "Don't- don't touch that!" she screams in a fit of panic. "... Yeah, you can go," she continues with a long sigh of relief. "Well.... what does it look like?" she finishes, looking at Tani.
[2012-04-02 17:05:15] <Sunrise> 3The group sees that nopony have made themselves known from the observatory despite the commotion at the landing site. The Steel Rangers are not swayed by Night Sweep and grumbles fill the air. The group becomes acutely aware that Cloud Dancer is touching a doomsday weapon.
[2012-04-02 17:07:46] * Cloud_Dancer lands on the deck of the ship, happily trotting down the stairs into the storage area below. Digging the helmet from her bags and beginning to work on finding a way to connect it to the radio. Surely there was a way she could use this stuff to replay the recording, right? She might have to take it up to the observatory. But she wasn't sure she wanted to force Whitecoin to
[2012-04-02 17:07:46] * Cloud_Dancer see or hear about her friends being attacked and devoured by giant killer trees. Or worse, abandoned by the Enclave...
[2012-04-02 17:08:47] * Tani follows Cloud_Dancer into the bowels of the vessel.
[2012-04-02 17:08:48] <Night_Sweep> "*sigh* So, it's either leaving it here until we find a proper use for it, or actually finding a proper resting place, if temporary. Simple enough to understand," Night_Sweep says, sounding like it's been long enough talking, "I guess you know the better option."

[2012-04-02 17:12:34] * Sedgewick grimaces. "Or we could drop it on... whatever that thing is."
[2012-04-02 17:13:53] * Little_Gloom is clinging to Cloud_Dancer's back, all but forgotten in the excitement over the bomb.  As soon as the mare has landed, she slides off with a thump.
[2012-04-02 17:14:35] * Night_Sweep nods, "That was the plan, but, you know... We could always use the whole party's input, and we don't know when they'll be back," she says, rubbing the back of her neck with a hoof. And just when she started to depend on her team so much?  Probably when decisions as big as a balefire bomb appeared on the horizon.
[2012-04-02 17:15:45] * Little_Gloom gets up and starts trotting after Cloud_Dancer.
[2012-04-02 17:16:15] * Cloud_Dancer wrangled with the machinery downstairs. Determined to find out what had been recorded. IT might know where Whitecoin's friends had gone! Then she could find them and everypony would be happy again, right? Right!?
[2012-04-02 17:17:46] * Little_Gloom stops, blinking.  "What's the big metal thingie?"
[2012-04-02 17:17:52] <Sunrise> 3Tani follows Cloud Dancer down into the ship to find her already hooking the camera helmet up to the radio equipment. There's no visual projection but the audio comes through, it's quite distorted by what sounds like wind. "...believe it! Did you see Foil when that burning bird was all 'SHOOM' 'BAAAAM' and he was just like, 'NAAAAHH', bucked it right in the face I swear."
[2012-04-02 17:18:10] <Sunrise> 3 Cheering and shouting is heard by a small group of speakers. "Can't believe we actually got out of that one, that was some serious shit." 3There is another pause and some laughter, "What? It's not like she was worth anything. I'm surprised she made it as far as she did, the dumb mule." 3There comes an odd sound of crackling and shuffling. 
[2012-04-02 17:18:14] <Sunrise> "Here's to you, Whitecoin! Welcome to Canterlot, bitch! Badaboom!" 3There is a sudden roar of wind and the laughter quickly grows distant. 
[2012-04-02 17:21:03] * Night_Sweep hehs at Little_Gloom's inquiry, "Well, sweetie... it's something that everypony in here must pay really a great attention not to move. Or touch. Or upset in any way. ... Well! Do you want to come with me on deck! There should be something on the radio at this hour!" she says, not really wanting to break down how there was something at /every/ hour on it.
[2012-04-02 17:21:13] * Cloud_Dancer blinks, listening to the voices. Shivering a little as her wings fluffed up just a bit. Did... Did Whitecoin's friends think she was dead after the attack? Had they really left without her and abandoned her here..? Really? Sniffling a little bit as tears welled up in her eyes. The prospect of that almost hurt more than the Enclave abandoning them all. She knew the ponies
[2012-04-02 17:21:13] * Cloud_Dancer in black armor weren't nice. They'd yelled at her enough she knew that. They'd told her never to come home again. But to abandon someone they cared about..? Whimpering a few moments as she tugged the connection free and quickly took to the air. She had to tell Whitecoin, right now. Silently flying off towards the observatory as fast as she could.
[2012-04-02 17:22:30] * Tani blinks at the recording. That...didn't sound promising. She looked over to the pegasus, reaching a wing over....but she was gone. Growling to herself, she took off back outside.
[2012-04-02 17:24:45] * Little_Gloom oohs, spotting Cloud_Dancer as she flies away.  As Tani reappeared, Little_Gloom scurried to her.  "We have to follow Cloud_Dancer."  Then, meekly, "Rides?"
[2012-04-02 17:25:10] * Sedgewick huffs. So. Turns out they weren't really Whitecoin's friends after all. Selfish ponies who only care for themselves. "I guess they're not in trouble after all. In fact, if I ever meet them I'll give them some trouble of my own..."

[2012-04-02 17:26:04] * Tani looks down at Little_Gloom. Compelled, by the d'aww, she lands in front of with a sigh. "Hop on then..."
[2012-04-02 17:26:46] * Night_Sweep whews, and reaches for the Zanzebra's terminal room as well, if by hoof.
[2012-04-02 17:28:22] <Sunrise> 3Cloud Dancer makes off towards the observatory, Tani lifts Little Gloom over to the building only to find Cloud Dancer standing outside. The door is shut and nopony responds when they knock on it. The intercom is still mounted on the wall and looks functioning though. Meanwhile in the airship Night Sweep heads over to the Zanzebra's terminals and finds them right and ready.
[2012-04-02 17:28:57] * Little_Gloom hops on.
[2012-04-02 17:29:12] * Little_Gloom does so a few lines ago.
[2012-04-02 17:29:46] * Cloud_Dancer flies off towards the observatory as quickly as she could. Swooping down towards the doors and banging on them with a hoof, pressing the call button, "Let me in! Let me in let me in let me in! Letmeinletmeinletmeinletmeinletmein!" She takes to grasping the intercom in both hooves and trying to shake it. Not that she's particularly good at doing that, being a not terribly

[2012-04-02 17:30:39] <Sunrise> "Whatwhat!? What's going on out there now!?" 3Oceanshade calls through the intercom, "Is that bomb going off!? Have you killed us all!?"
[2012-04-02 17:31:07] * Night_Sweep just sits in one of the bunk beds for a while, recovering a bit from all the strain of the intense day, catching her breath.
[2012-04-02 17:31:09] * Little_Gloom hears that.  "Bomb?  What bomb?"
[2012-04-02 17:31:33] * Sedgewick arrives late.
[2012-04-02 17:31:47] <Cloud_Dancer> "Worse than that! Way, way worse! I've got... NEWS!" Cloud_Dancer utters that word with all the depth and intensity of the proclamation of the end-times.
[2012-04-02 17:32:34] * Tani grumbles softly, grabbing Cloud_Dancer away from the intercom, half restraining and half hugging. "The bomb is fine, just open the door."
[2012-04-02 17:33:33] <Sunrise> "News...?" 3Oceanshade sighs and the door unlocks, "Come in, Cloud Dancer.." 3From the airship below they can faintly hear some old-world music playing from the Zanzebra.
[2012-04-02 17:33:51] * Little_Gloom looks down at Tani.  "What bomb?"

[2012-04-02 17:35:03] * Cloud_Dancer squirms a little bit in Tani's grip, not out of fear or embarassment or unhappiness but impatience. She had to go see Whitecoin now. It was important! Struggling to try to get away so she could get through the doors, "C'mooooon. We've gotta go talk to Whitecoin!" flapping her wings as hard as she could, seemingly intent on draggin Tani with her if she couldn't go on her
[2012-04-02 17:35:04] * Cloud_Dancer own. "Whitecoin! Whiiiitecooooooin!" She called out into the observatory for the other pegasus the moment the doors were opened.
[2012-04-02 17:36:36] * Night_Sweep takes deep breaths, as Sapphire Shores plays in the background...  so much time had passed without listening to it, had it been like, three weeks? Apparently, she hasn't grown tired of the song one bit, as she listens in fondness, eyes closed, smiling faintly.
[2012-04-02 17:36:56] * Tani releases the pegasus and follows after as she inevitably charges in, ignoring the poor confused filly on her back.
[2012-04-02 17:37:50] * Sedgewick joins the rest of the crew. "I hate delivering bad news..."
[2012-04-02 17:40:37] <Sunrise> 3The crew wander into the observatory as Cloud Dancer charges in crying Whitecoin's name. Whitecoin quickly makes herself known by flying up the steps from the basement and lands down beside Cloud Dancer. "Wh-What!?" 3She looks a little shocked but all the sudden shouting.

They..." she stutters a few moments, hugging tighter as her wings beat frantically from her emotional outburst, practically shoving the both of them over, "They left without you! They're not lost at all. They went
[2012-04-02 17:43:29] * Cloud_Dancer home and -abandoned- you!" She whimpers a little louder at that, eyes closed tight as tears stream from her eyes, "It's not fair. You're not dead! They should be here looking for you!"
[2012-04-02 17:45:41] * Little_Gloom forgets all about bombs, her face falling and hears drooping as she hears the horrible news.

"They.. They what?" 3Her face begins to pale and she laughs. She does not sound like she's mirthful. "Nonono! No! They wouldn't!" 3She laughs more, aggresively forcing Cloud Dancer off her.

[2012-04-02 17:57:46] * Night_Sweep raises her head as she hears some piece of news, that... could be of some impediment to them? ... And just when ponies would interfere with a balefire bomb, pfsh. She listened very interested at the next piece of music though.
[2012-04-02 17:58:27] * Cloud_Dancer whimpers as she gets shoved backwards, falling onto her back, wings spread out beneath her and shaking her head vigorously, "No! I wouldn't... I couldn't!" whimpering and rolling back onto her hooves, digging into her saddlebag for the helmet, "W-we found this! There's a recording on it. I can show you. I-if you don't believe me..." she sank lower and looked towards the
[2012-04-02 17:58:27] * Cloud_Dancer floor. She really, really didn't want to replay it for Whitecoin. She didn't want Whitecoin to hear it. "Th-they think you're dead... They left. W-with the ship." sniffling again.
[2012-04-02 17:58:55] * Sedgewick is grim. "She's not. She's got a recording. Do you have a-, a radio or something? I don't know how Cloud_Dancer does it, but she can hook up this recorder thing we found and play it for you."

"How did you listen into it!? I'm going to get into so much trouble for letting you listen to this stuff!" 3She fiddles with the helmet more, in a big fret "You listened to it all!? Where?"
[2012-04-02 18:07:26] * Night_Sweep is finding herself more and more relaxed, lulled by the lively music, she could almost nap for a little while, who would ever care...
[2012-04-02 18:08:40] * Salve meanders down to where Night_Sweep is, lured somewhat by the radio.
[2012-04-02 18:10:26] * Cloud_Dancer blinks a few moments at that, "W-we found it... Outside the place full of plants. Where the cloud terminals were!" She sniffles as she slowly begins to regain herself. Whitecoin's obvious panic wasn't helping much though, "O-on our ship. I thought it might have something which could help find your friends. B-but it was just them talking about fighting the flaming bird.
[2012-04-02 18:10:27] * Cloud_Dancer Th-then they said you went to canterlot! Th-they called you a dumb mule." She hung her head low, knowing how much it hurt to be called dumb. "A-at least I think they did... The recording wasn't very good. And we couldn't get any visuals. B-but they didn't seem to be worried about you and thought you were gone!"
[2012-04-02 18:11:44] * Salve sits down off to the side of the radio. "Pleazant zong, Frau Sweep." he says, looking at the half-asleep mare.
[2012-04-02 18:15:57] <Sunrise> "Dumb mule!?" 3She stamps her hoof into the ground and cries out in anger through clenched teeth. Taking the helmet she shoves past Cloud Dancer, exits the observatory and spreads her wings.
[2012-04-02 18:17:17] * Cloud_Dancer eeps, getting bowled over by Whitecoin's sudden outburst. Turning around and taking to the air, flying after her as quick as she could manage, "Wait! Where are you going!?" swooping around towards her as quick as she could manage, "I-if you wanna hear it I could probably play it on something in the observatory. They've got lots of terminals there!"

[2012-04-02 18:29:31] <Sunrise> 3Cloud Dancer takes off after Whitecoin who she finds holding up a little ahead, waiting for them. As Whitecoin spots Cloud Dancer flying up to her she takes off towards the botanical garden. Sedgewick joins after Cloud Dancer and a convoy of flyers head over the light woodland. 
[2012-04-02 18:29:36] <Sunrise> 3They touch down at the gardens as Whitecoin is furiously shoving equipment about there. She roughly sets the helmet down and plugs in the two connectors at the back of the helmet into one of the clouds. The cloud rises up slightly and an image is projected in it.
[2012-04-02 18:31:45] * Cloud_Dancer swoops around and lands beside Whitecoin, looking up as the recording began to replay. Grinning excitedly despite herself. However sad the message might be, she was always excited about the prospect of watching something like this. They were always really interesting to see! And who knows what kind of information might be left over on them. Sadness slowly creeping into her

[2012-04-02 18:34:45] * Little_Gloom slips off of Tani and walks up to stand just a little bit between Whitecoin and Cloud_Dancer.
[2012-04-02 18:40:38] <Sunrise> 3The image is a little distorted as the scene comes to life. Whoever is wearing the helmet is standing up on their hind legs with their left hoof hooked through a chain on the roof of the craft. Infront of them are three other ponies, two are wearing patches of dark armour and one is basically wearing nothing at all. 
[2012-04-02 18:40:43] <Sunrise> 3They're all almost comically blasted in black ash and are laughing it up. It turns out the one with the helmet was the speaker as none of the others are too busy laughing and sharing some water. Whitecoin's expression drops, at first by being regarded as not worth anything, secondly by being called a mule. 
[2012-04-02 18:40:49] <Sunrise> 3Whitecoin slumps onto the cloud, her face practically touching the cloud image. The stallion wearing the helmet removes it and turns it to face him. He's looks a little young with a shock of red mane ontop of his blue coat.
[2012-04-02 18:40:51] <Sunrise> 3 He makes his opprobrious remark while smirking into the camera. In a single swing he tosses the camera out the side of the craft and it tumbles down through the air.

Not by the ones who were supposed to be her friends... It just wasn't right. Tears slowly rolling down her

Sniffling slightly at the pain of the only other winged pony she'd even seen below the cloud layer. Being stuck all
[2012-04-02 18:55:41] * Cloud_Dancer alone like that. Being thrown away by her friends, her companions. Being abandoned. It was all so terribly wrong! She had to do something to make it right. Something to help, somehow. "The ponies at the observatory care about you! You're their friend too now, right!? S-so you can't just go flying off without telling them!"
[2012-04-02 19:01:29] <Sunrise> 3Whitecoin whirls about in mid air, "Yeah, well I don't care about them! They took me for granted an' all! Chewed me up and spat me out! Just another wasteland hero, eh? A fuckin' bit a dozen!" 3Whitecoin bats her wings at Cloud Dancer trying to slow her down. "Just stay the fuck away from me you deviant slut!" 3She whips a low cloud around throws it in Cloud Dancer's face.
[2012-04-02 19:04:40] * Cloud_Dancer dives head-long through the cloud without even trying to slow down. "Nuh-uh! They care about you. They wanted you to stay with them and offered to help you and put you up even when the others were missing, right? S-so they must care about you!" flying as fast as she could after Whitecoin, whimpering a little at the declaration of her being a 'deviant slut'. She wasn't a
[2012-04-02 19:04:41] * Cloud_Dancer slut! Not even a little! "I know it hurts. It hurts a lot to have your friends abandon you. Please don't be angry! There are still ponies who like you!" sniffling a little bit with tears in her eyes. "Please... You've got to believe it..."
[2012-04-02 19:06:43] * Little_Gloom jumps up, trying to interpose herself between the two pegasi.  "*HEY*!!!  Cloud Dancer is being nice!  She's *helping* you when all your stupid pegasuseseses left you alone like horrible, rotten nightmares!"
[2012-04-02 19:08:22] * Little_Gloom jumps again, "And *Oceanshade* and all the others are your friends!  Maybe you should be a friend back and let them help you rather than being a... a... a what your old friends were!"

[2012-04-02 19:10:38] <Sunrise> "Believe it!? Believe you!? HAH! HA HA HA!" 3She laughs out loud, her eyes red from crying. "Where was your friendly introduction back in the observatory? You even had your mangey pet tell me to shut up! I've seen your colours! An' they're not blue and gold! You're no Wonderbolt. You're not a hero. You're not even a good pegasus! You're just... Just...

[2012-04-02 19:13:37] * Cloud_Dancer whimpers a little and lowers her head, going a little slack at that, "I... I didn't... I wanted to help... Salve was just there to help you. Honest." Sniffling a little again with tears in her eyes, "I didn't mean for him to yell at you. B-but it hurt... It hurt really bad when you said those things. Especially... Especially when you didn't even seem to care how much it
[2012-04-02 19:13:37] * Cloud_Dancer hurt. Being abandoned or insulted is always painful." she reaches up to wipe the tears from her eyes, "Especially by someone you care about. S-so I know it must hurt a lot more for you than it does for me." shaking her head again vigorously and spreading her wings, trying to fly closer to Whitecoin, "I don't want to be a hero. J-just don't want to leave a pony alone and hurt..."
[2012-04-02 19:15:32] * Little_Gloom is angry now.
[2012-04-02 19:18:24] * Little_Gloom is a little filly without the level of grace or understanding that Cloud_Dancer is displaying.  All she sees is a bully pegasus still hurting her friend even after everything Cloud_Dancer has done to help.
[2012-04-02 19:18:36] <Sunrise> "Oh it did, did it? You got hurt? Little Cloud Dancer gonna cry? Just like you did at training? At flight school? At maths? Science? Everything? Don't talk to me about feelings. You're a fuckin' miserable sack of them. I don't want your sympathy." 3She slows down a bit and gives Cloud Dancer a cold and hard stare. "I'm not hurt. I'm not anything anymore." 3She takes off again, to the North.

[2012-04-02 19:21:24] * Cloud_Dancer whimpers, raising a hoof towards Whitecoin as she begins to bolt. Heart heavy and angry and sorry and horrible inside. Tears on her cheeks again. Evidently she was going to cry. But she couldn't just give up... It wouldn't be right! Beating her wings and taking off after Whitecoin as best she could. It was true, she was a miserable sack of emotions. She roiled and bawled
[2012-04-02 19:21:24] * Cloud_Dancer and wallowed more than anypony should. She was a useless, worthless pony who's only loves in life had brought her nothing but misery and pain. But... But she still couldn't just abandon Whitecoin. Even after all of that. Probably a sign of how stupid she was. Dummy, dummy pegasus. Just fly away. It'll hurt less. It'll be easier... So why was she still flying in that direction?
[2012-04-02 19:22:29] * Little_Gloom finally breaks, collapsing in tears.  Part of her really wants to yell more at Whitecoin.  Part of her wants to tell Cloud_Dancer to abandon her because she is a dumb, mean bully who deserves to be abandoned.  But... but...
[2012-04-02 19:22:43] * Little_Gloom cries, realizing that Luna would not want her to act that way.
[2012-04-02 19:23:44] <Sunrise> 3The group watch as Cloud Dancer trails after Whitecoin, the usual spring in her flight completely gone. Whitecoin was right, she really does look like a ghost. Whitecoin occasionally takes a glance back only to pelt more rainclouds at Cloud Dancer as she follows after her. Whitecoin isn't speaking to her anymore.
[2012-04-02 19:25:41] * Sedgewick tries to talk to Little_Gloom. "Please don't cry. Whitecoin is sad too, that's why she's all angry like this. I know it doesn't make any sense, but... I acted just like she is right now after my Ma... My Ma..." he breaks off. "After my Ma died."
[2012-04-02 19:26:21] * Little_Gloom throws herself at Sedgewick, hugging him tightly and crying.
[2012-04-02 19:27:28] * Cloud_Dancer struggled to try to keep up with Whitecoin. She might not be military trained, but flying was something she was actually really good at. And she'd had lots of practical practice since she came to the wasteland. "Please don't be angry! The ones in the observatory really do care about you! I know I get sad and hurt and cry a lot. I'm nothing but a miserable waste of wings!"
[2012-04-02 19:27:28] * Cloud_Dancer she sniffles at that, tears in her eyes, "You told me yourself too! Just a dummy, pegasus who's too stupid to quit." whimpering a bit as she leaps from stormcloud to stormcloud when they're hurled in her direction, "Y-you need to come back. The others will be worried about you. Your friends. Your real friends. The ones who won't abandon you or hurt you or anything!"
[2012-04-02 19:28:06] * Tani grumbles, half tempted to dive down on Whitecoin and drive her into the dirt. No...No, this was Cloud_Dancer's fight...instead, she slips into formation with the pegasus.
[2012-04-02 19:29:03] * Sedgewick gives Little_Gloom a full body hug. Arms, wings, tail, and neck feathers. Everything. "Whitecoin needs some time alone right now. Her anger will burn out quickly, and then she's going to be really, really sad. We should probably keep an eye on her for a while. When I was really really sad, I... did some dumb things."
[2012-04-02 19:29:41] * Sedgewick grimaces at his memories. "I'm afraid she'll try to do something dumb too..."

[2012-04-02 19:30:37] <Sunrise> 3Whitecoin has now flown past the observatory and over the top of the mountain there. They can see in the distance those horrible dark clouds above Good Spring. Whitecoin begins to angle her flight upwards, towards the storm clouds. She throws a glance back to the persuing group before redoubling her efforts to keep pace.
[2012-04-02 19:32:43] * Cloud_Dancer struggles to try and keep up with Whitecoin, "Please don't go there! It's dangerous up there in those clouds!" She should know. She got struck by lightning. It is definitely -not- like fizzy cotton candy. Cotton candy is nothing like that numbing! "That thing's really, really dangerous. YOu've got to stay away from it! I dunno what it might do to you!" She didn't want
[2012-04-02 19:32:44] * Cloud_Dancer Whitecoin to get hurt. Pleading as best she could. Please, please let her listen, just this once!

[2012-04-02 19:37:14] <Sunrise> 3Whitecoin turns about as she gets closer to it, batting her wings towards the group. She raises her hoof and drags down some of the thunderous clouds. They drift down and Whitecoin bucks it as hard as she can. The small cloud explodes into lightning that strikes down all around them but falls short, not harming them. They see the still rising silhouette of her behind the clouds as they errupt. 
[2012-04-02 19:37:45] * Little_Gloom slumps, wiping tears.  "Well.... then... I'm just gonna have to try to make Cloud_Dancer happy again when she comes back.  Cuz that stupid bully pegasus is saying stupid, bully things and hurting her.  She needs to know her friends lover her lots more than that stupid... pegasus... can hate her."
[2012-04-02 19:39:16] * Sedgewick gets out one of his Ma's kerchiefs and wipes Little_Gloom's eyes. then holds it to her snout. "Blow. I think Cloud_Dancer knows Whitecoin doesn't really mean those things, she's just hurting right now." In a smaller voice: "I hope..."
[2012-04-02 19:39:55] * Cloud_Dancer reaches up a hoof to shield her eyes from the burst of lightning. Whimpering at the thunder as Whitecoin vanishes into the clouds. She raised a hoof towards them again and suddenly slumped. Tears rolling down her cheeks to fall to the ground far below. Whitecoin went where she couldn't follow. The ponies in black armor would track her down. They'd kill her if she went above
[2012-04-02 19:39:56] * Cloud_Dancer the clouds again. They had to know this place was here by now. Sniffling and whimpering and very slowly drifting back down, towards Little_Gloom and Sedgewick. Passing slowly over the observatory again. Her flight lacking any of its usual enthusiasm, freedom and happiness. Instead a dull, slow, straight flight. The kind which completely lacked her usual tendency to linger on
[2012-04-02 19:39:56] * Cloud_Dancer everything she passed.
[2012-04-02 19:43:58] * Tani slips in behind Cloud_Dancer with a sigh.

[2012-04-02 19:49:26] <Sunrise> 3They arrive, tired and emotionally drained, back at the observatory. Upbeat music can be heard faintly from the Zanzebra still at the park. It doesn't do much to uplift their spirits, if anything it feels rather jarring. They can see several of the Steel Rangers on deck and around the ship, talking amongst themselves. The doors to the observatory have been shut again.
[2012-04-02 19:49:45] * Little_Gloom blows her nose into the kercheif, then rushes up to Cloud_Dancer.  "You're not worthless!  You tried to help her.  Even when she was really hurtful and mean.  You're... you're a better pony than I could ever be.  Even if I wasn't a zebra."
[2012-04-02 19:51:04] * Little_Gloom hugs Cloud_Dancer tightly.  "I love you and I don't want you ever to be sad."
[2012-04-02 19:51:07] * Sedgewick holds up the sopping kerchief. Well... so much for that one. "Good thing Ma tucked /years/ worth of these things in here..."
[2012-04-02 19:52:15] * Cloud_Dancer gently drifts down to the roof, her legs almost completely lax and limp. Practically plowing face-first into the ceiling tiles as her wings fold up against her. Sniffling with tears still on her cheeks as Gloom rushes up to her. Whimpering a little bit and closing her eyes tight, tears pouring out of her eyes. "Sh-she ran away... Because of me... Now her new friends won't
[2012-04-02 19:52:16] * Cloud_Dancer ever see her again either. A-and it's my fault!" sobbing heavily a few moments as she threw her forelegs around Gloom in a tight hug, "I... I'm a terrible pony. Stupid, dummy, idiot, failure pegasus. Waste of wings. I should have just stayed away." biting her lips closed tight and whimpering with closed eyes. It wasn't fair! She just wanted to help! Why did it end like this...
[2012-04-02 19:53:54] * Sedgewick tries to reassure Cloud_Dancer. "It's not your fault and you're not a terrible pony. She's just... really really sad right now and because of that she's really angry. She'll stop being angry really soon, and then she's going to be really really really really really really really really really sad. I just hope she doesn't try to do something stupid like I did..."
[2012-04-02 19:54:14] * Little_Gloom grabs Cloud_Dancer's face and makes her look into the filly zebra's eyes.  "You are a *good* pony.  You are a *smart* pony.  You did what was *right* and you tried to help even though Whitecoin isn't *worth* helping.  She ran away because she is hurting and hurting makes her stupid and dumb.  It's *her* fault, not yours, that she ran away."
[2012-04-02 19:56:56] * Tani takes a moment to punch a random cloud terminal.
[2012-04-02 19:58:38] <Sunrise> 3The cloud terminal tumbles off into the air with a noticable dent in the cloud-structure. All sorts of fancy colours fall out of it.
[2012-04-02 20:00:18] * Cloud_Dancer whimpers and sniffles, the tears slowly clearing from her eyes at Sedgewick and Little_Gloom's reassurances. Whimpering as she swallows shakily. Her voice cracking and sputtering slighty. "Th-thank y-you." whimpering softly as she sinks back down towards the ceiling, "I... I..." she swallows with a whimper, "I just... J-just want to help." her head slowly sinking back down
[2012-04-02 20:00:19] * Cloud_Dancer to the ceiling, "S-Sedgewick... Do you st-still want to check out inside? W-we've got a little time... And my wings are a-aching. Don't want to fly right now." Doesn't want to fly? That's like a fish saying it doesn't want to swim. Most of the time it was hard to get Cloud Dancer to even stay on the ground at all!
[2012-04-02 20:01:36] * Sedgewick holds out another kerchief, arm at maximum extension, trying to avoid being splashed. "Uh... sure. Let's get you cleaned up first though. You look like a mess..."
[2012-04-02 20:02:17] * Little_Gloom suggests softly that they all go back to the Zanzebra.  "You should be with all your friends," she tells Cloud_Dancer.  "You know that it's better to be with friends when you're sad."  Cuz you're a smart pegasus, unlike the one other she could name.
[2012-04-02 20:06:41] * Cloud_Dancer reaches out to take the kerchief, blowing her nose hard and slowly, slowly climbing back to her hooves, wiping away the tears and giving a strained, sad smile to Little_Gloom. "I... I'll be okay. B-but my wings really are aching. Flying that far, that fast is exhausting. Even for me!" Offering the kerchief back to Sedgewick, keeping a forehoof wrapped around Little_Gloom,
[2012-04-02 20:06:42] * Cloud_Dancer leaning down to nuzzle her, "Besides. I have my bestest friends here with me too. S-so I'll be happy wherever we go."
[2012-04-02 20:09:11] * Little_Gloom nods and coaxes.  "Lay down and rest then," she urges.
[2012-04-02 20:09:22] * Sedgewick carefully collects his kerchief, avoiding the secretions. When none of them are looking he drops it over the edge, never to be seen again. "Uhm. I could carry you back if you like."

[2012-04-02 20:12:26] * Little_Gloom gently nudges Cloud_Dancer to lay down on the roof.
[2012-04-02 20:14:19] * Sedgewick peers in his survival pack. "Matches... Compass... Morale booster... camp pillow and blanket!" He fluffs the former and unfolds the latter.
[2012-04-02 20:15:27] * Cloud_Dancer sniffles a little, slowly sinking to the roof and swallowing with a slight wince of pain. Her throat was raw from the crying and her nose runny and her eyes all puffy and red. Very slowly nodding at Sedgewick's suggestion. "I-if you two think it's a good idea to go back..." her wings really did ache. And she knew Sedgewick wanted to explore this place. The way he'd been
[2012-04-02 20:15:28] * Cloud_Dancer acting before made that pretty obvious. She knew curiosity when she saw it, after all. Smiling at the blanket and pillow offer, "I'm s-sorry for being such a drag..."
[2012-04-02 20:17:03] * Little_Gloom slips off her apothecary satchel and, without announcement, climbs up onto Cloud_Dancers back and starts massaging her with little filly hooves.
[2012-04-02 20:18:11] <Sunrise> 3The group unpack and rest on the roof of the building for a little while. Whitecoin, perhaps mercifully for some, does not return. The soft sound of songbirds local to the botanical gardens sound a lot more pleasent than those they had heard previously in the forest. They can see the light canopy of trees sway a little in the air and occasionally they see a bird or two take flight.

[2012-04-02 20:21:13] * Cloud_Dancer sighs quietly and relaxes under those little hooves. She'd not had a massage in... Well, in age. Spas were expensive, even in places where the water was plentiful and clean. Murmuring quietly and doing her best to relax. Even as sad and horrid as she was at the moment, just that simple act was wonderfully calming and comforting.
[2012-04-02 20:23:00] * Little_Gloom is hardly an expert.  But she is loving and gentle and has perfect little massaging hoovsies.
[2012-04-02 20:23:18] * Little_Gloom tentatively tries massaging one of Cloud_Dancer's sore wings.
[2012-04-02 20:24:57] * Cloud_Dancer winces at the wing massage. Those things were sensitive! Squirming a little bit at the hooves on her flight feathers. "C-careful." Feathers had to be able to feel the way air flowed around them to stay in flight, after all. Well, at least if you wanted to do anything fancy in the air. Pegasus magic did most of the whole 'flying' thing on its own. But the wings still helped
[2012-04-02 20:24:57] * Cloud_Dancer a lot. Breathing a quiet sigh and doing her best to relax. "S-sorry to hold you all up." offering a weak smile.

[2012-04-02 20:29:55] * Cloud_Dancer acks! Blushing very red at the sudden lick. In an instant her wing had gone rigid as she practically jumps up from where she was laying. "N-no. Not like that!" she was a rather lovely shade of purple when blushing it seems.

[2012-04-02 20:33:29] * Tani grumbles a bit, returning from beating a very deserving terminal to see...what? Her wings involuntarily *pomf*. "W-what are you doing?"
[2012-04-02 20:35:34] * Little_Gloom eeps, pinwheeling her forelegs as she almost topples off of Cloud_Dancer.  "Too soft?"
[2012-04-02 20:36:04] * Cloud_Dancer blushes really heavily at Tani's question. "N-nothing! Nothing at all! Honest!" whimpering a little. Oh, man, this was so embarassing. Wingboner right in front of her friends. And from something as simple as preening!? What was wrong with her? Sniffling a few more moments and wrapping Gloom up in a hug, "N-no it's okay. J-just... Feathers are really, really sensitive.
[2012-04-02 20:36:04] * Cloud_Dancer O-okay? And pegasi usually do that for themselves. Understand?"
[2012-04-02 20:38:05] * Little_Gloom blinks, confused.  "You usually give yourself a massage?"  She sounds vaguely jealous of pegasi.  "How?  With your wings?"
[2012-04-02 20:39:28] * Sedgewick breaks in. "No, with their mouths. Griffins do the same. It's just an intensely personal thing that we like to take care of /ourselves./ Understand?"
[2012-04-02 20:39:29] * Cloud_Dancer blushes and shakes her head, "We usually. Uh. Clean our wings on our own." blushing again at that. How did you explain something like that to a filly!? Much less a filly who didn't even -have- wings! It was tough enough explaining the bits of biology they shared! Whimpering a little bit and looking to Tani and Sedgewick pleadingly. Someone help!

[2012-04-02 20:43:28] * Cloud_Dancer blushes and nuzzles Gloom's cheek, "It was nice, yeah." Looking up as Tani comes up, nodding her head, "My wings are still kinda unhappy..." smiling to the larger female griffin, "Think you could carry me? I know... I'm kindof a lame pegasus if I can't fly... B-but it's only temporary. Promise!"
[2012-04-02 20:43:35] * Sedgewick muses. "I kinda want to explore this thing, but it's safer to do so in numbers. Maybe we should bring the others here?"
[2012-04-02 20:45:12] * Cloud_Dancer nods her head to Sedgewick, "W-we could bring the whole airship down here? We don't wanna move that big scary thingy they brought back till Goldie gets back, right? We might not even need to use it!" She seemed awful hopeful about that. Voice cracking just a little bit from her throat's soreness, coughing a few moments.
[2012-04-02 20:46:13] * Tani smiles and scoops up the smaller pony, pulling her against her chestfeathers and bringing her to a hover. She nods in agreement with Sedgewick. "Yeah, we don't know what's in here. We should get everyone in on it."
[2012-04-02 20:47:31] * Cloud_Dancer yeeps as she's suddenly grabbed and lifted up so easily. She blushes a little bit at that. "Um. Th-thanks." She hadn't been carried by another flier while awake and fully aware in quite a long time. Not since she was a filly, really. But she was still thankful to the nice fluffy griffin to help her. "Sedgewick? Can you carry Gloom?" She definitely didn't want to leave the

[2012-04-02 20:50:05] <Sedgewick> "Uh, I guess I can... If she wants to go. We're all coming back here again though, so... what's the point?"
[2012-04-02 20:50:45] * Little_Gloom picks up her satchel, answering Sedgewick.  "Cuz!"
[2012-04-02 20:51:37] * Cloud_Dancer blushes a little bit and nods her head, "I'll be okay. Honest! Pegasus' honor!" Not that she was sure a pegasus' honor was worth much to the little filly right now... "I dunno. We'll have to ask when we get back, right?"
[2012-04-02 20:52:36] * Tani chuckles a little. "Got a problem with wind in your feathers, Lunkhead?" She looks down to Gloom. "I'll explain on the way. If someone can keep up..."
[2012-04-02 20:52:46] * Sedgewick scoops up Little_Gloom. "Sure, okay." He wings off after Tani and her ungainly package."
[2012-04-02 20:53:31] * Little_Gloom helps Sedgewick keep up by making "Vrooom Vroom" sounds.
[2012-04-02 20:54:33] * Cloud_Dancer mostly remained limp in Tani's grasp. Pressed tight against the fluffy, feathery chest of the larger griffin. Her wings were lax and relatively uncontrolled as she mostly just enjoyed the flight in someone else's power. It was a weird and unfamiliar experience.

[2012-04-02 20:57:02] <Sunrise> 3The two griffins with their different sized bundles of pony and zebra fly off towards the observatory and back to the others. They can see the small Ranger's camp has a fire going that a few are gathered around. They spot Night Sweep's hat amongst the crowd of 7 there. There is still no sign of the other airship but the Zanzebra is still anchored down next to the huge bomb.

[2012-04-02 20:58:05] * Tani dips and glides, flapping a bit lazily ahead of Sedge and Gloom, before slipping above and behind Sedge and turning to the filly. "You know how ponies and zebra's burned the world two centuries ago, right?"

[2012-04-02 20:59:04] * Little_Gloom noddles.  THe realizes that Tani can't really see that, being in front of her and all.  So she stops vrooming and says, "Uh-huh!"

[2012-04-02 21:00:02] * Cloud_Dancer spread her wings, mostly to enjoy the way the air rushes over her feathers. Breathing a happy sigh and just listening to Tani and Gloom. She knew something about the end, but not very much. Just what they taught her in school.

[2012-04-02 21:01:50] * Tani nods a little. "Well, kid..." She points towards the bomb, visible in the approaching camp. "...that there is the fires of the apocolypse: A genuine Balefire bomb."

[2012-04-02 21:02:39] * Night_Sweep looks at the flying team, and settles down with the rangers to enjoy a bit of stew with them. She's looking expectantly at the others, as if to invite them to join, while she tries to keep up some story of when she travelled first towards The Verge.
[2012-04-02 21:04:13] * Cloud_Dancer waves a hoof towards Night_Sweep with a smile, motioning Tani in her direction. The scent of stew was on the air, "Down there! We can get some dinner before we leave, too. That sounds really nice." A good hot meal. That'd be wonderful. She hadn't had one of those since... A long time ago.
[2012-04-02 21:05:38] * Salve notices Cloud_Dancer isn't flying by herself. Well shit, did they do something exciting while he was napping again? Crazy kids.
[2012-04-02 21:07:28] <Sunrise> 3The two griffins touch down on the Zanzebra. The planks are already set down and the group are able to join Night Sweep and Salve around the campfire. The Rangers here are listening to Night Sweep regail them with her story about The Verge and her part in it along with the others. The food being brewed up is a nice vegetable stew and there are several bowls laid out in front of it.

[2012-04-02 21:07:47] * Tani banks over, diving sharply towards the ground, swooping low over the treeline and into the camp. She brakes into a hover, setting the mare's hooves on the ground giving her a quick nuzzle before releasing her.

[2012-04-02 21:09:41] * Little_Gloom slides off of Sedgewick as soon as he touches down, giving the griffin a hug.  "Thanks, Sedgie.  Night_Sweep is really lucky."
[2012-04-02 21:10:02] * Cloud_Dancer wobbles a little bit as her hooves touch the ground. Blushing at the unexpected nuzzle. A nuzzle from Tani? Nah, must have just been helping her stabilize her on the hooves, right? Slowly trotting up towards the group with a kindof sad, reserved smile, "S-sorry we were gone so long." sniffing a little bit. Her nose was still stuffed up, but even she could smell that wonderful
[2012-04-02 21:10:02] * Cloud_Dancer food, "D-do you have enough to share..?" She could hope, right?
[2012-04-02 21:10:06] * Sedgewick smiles. "Uh... whatever you say."
[2012-04-02 21:10:58] * Little_Gloom trots up to Cloud-Dancer, smiling.
[2012-04-02 21:12:02] * Cloud_Dancer gently wraps a foreleg around Little_Gloom, her wings drooping just a little bit, lax and flopping a bit at her sides. Not the usual folded or unfolded pose. The muscle cramps bothering her when she did either for the moment. That was thankfully fading slowly.
[2012-04-02 21:12:31] * Night_Sweep gestures Cloud_Dancer and the others to come near as she's levitating the stew bowl in front of her, "Come here and have a seat, they're really a great bunch!" she says, feeling strangely at peace in such crowded conditions.
[2012-04-02 21:13:43] <Sunrise> "For one of Luna's desciples? Sure!" 3One of the Rangers levitates the ladled up and dishes out a nice warm bowl of stew for Cloud Dancer. Two of the rangers give a cheer as Little Gloom arrives at the camp. A couple of the rangers from the deck of the Zanzebra join the group around the camp. The stew is as warm as the atmosphere here, it's really quite calming!
[2012-04-02 21:14:43] * Little_Gloom beams to the Rangers.  "Thank you!"
[2012-04-02 21:14:52] * Cloud_Dancer smiles happily, moving forwards and sitting down beside Night_Sweep. Giving a little bit more of a smile, "Thanks." nodding her head and reaching out to take the bowl when offered. Taking a deep breath of the warm steam coming off the bowl. Mmmm. Her stomach rumbling audibly as she did. She really was hungry! Beginning to eat without much of a second thought. Or a first
[2012-04-02 21:14:52] * Cloud_Dancer one.
[2012-04-02 21:15:40] * Sedgewick browses. "Vegetables? Again? Man, you ponies... I don't get you sometimes. Sure, I'll have some. It's hot at least..."
[2012-04-02 21:17:20] * Tani grunts a little disappointed along with Sedge, but likewise accepts the offer.
[2012-04-02 21:18:06] <Sunrise> "So... Where's that other airship gotten to? It's got the Senior Paladin and the Scribe on it. Shouldn't they be back by now?" 3One of the lightly dressed Rangers askes.
[2012-04-02 21:19:22] * Little_Gloom looks about, watching Cloud_Dancer eating good, warm food.  Her own stomach rumbled too.  The food smelled soooooo good!  But there were more important things than tummies.
[2012-04-02 21:20:09] * Cloud_Dancer happily gobbles up the tasty stew. It wasn't big, but it was filling! Omnomnomnom. Draining the bowl quickly as she looks up, "I dunno. They left after we did. Maybe Goldie went with them to Canterlot? She said she wanted to do something like that, right? Find a way to stop that big scary thing in the mountain!" Ah, amazing what some good food would do to your mood.
[2012-04-02 21:20:35] * Night_Sweep raises her head from a sip of soup, "Um... well, two of out team were with us, so there's no doubt they'll come back." Or was there... "The Rangers knew the risks of the Cloud, right? They were prepared for that?"
[2012-04-02 21:21:12] * Little_Gloom trots up to Cloud_Dancer, nuzzling one of her wings gently.  In the background, jolly music begins to pour from the Zanzebra.

[2012-04-02 21:22:10] <Sunrise> "Hm.. They've been gone a long while. Do we have any plan to go after them, or we waiting until they get back?" 3He asks while eating. The same unicorn dishes out bowls for the rest of the group. One of the other unicorns levitates up a flute and plays it along to the music by rolling a small stone over the holes while he blows.
[2012-04-02 21:22:12] * Little_Gloom jumps up onto a nearby rock, raises a hoof and belts out, “Cloud Dancer the pegasus, the mare of the Zanzebra!”
[2012-04-02 21:23:03] * Cloud_Dancer licks her muzzle clean. Smiling as Gloom came to nuzzle her wing, carefully extending that wing enough to wrap around the little zebra. Yawning a moment in the cool evening air. Mmmmh. Blinking as Gloom started to sing about her. Really? A song about her? Blushing at that. "If they're not back by morning maybe we should go check on them?"
[2012-04-02 21:24:28] * Little_Gloom begins to sing, “When we’re all done for the day and it’s time to sail away,”
[2012-04-02 21:24:45] * Little_Gloom sings happily, “And the sky ship’s ready to depart,”
[2012-04-02 21:24:59] <Night_Sweep> "Actually, the Zanzebra would be best left for the.. the bomb, yeah." Night_Sweep say, no real chance they're going to drag /that/ around. As she finishes, she partly digs into the tasty soup, partly listens attentively to Gloom's song. She could swore she turned off that radio...
[2012-04-02 21:25:05] * Little_Gloom sings, "Though we’ll soon take to the sky like the noble pegasi,”
[2012-04-02 21:25:28] * Salve sits relatively close to Night_Sweep, since he's standing near her anyway.... Man, this soup was delicious!
[2012-04-02 21:25:34] * Little_Gloom sings out, “Without the Admiral our trip can’t start!”
[2012-04-02 21:26:26] * Little_Gloom hops off the rock, trotting around the campfire as she sings a jolly tune, “With ‘have you seen you-know-who?’ and a ‘featherbrain’ or two,”
[2012-04-02 21:26:45] * Little_Gloom sings, “We’d each search about all worried to a one!”
[2012-04-02 21:28:18] * Little_Gloom stands opposite Cloud_Dancer, singing across the fire, “But then Cloud_Dancer appears, her smile banishing our fears.”
[2012-04-02 21:28:36] * Little_Gloom sings out happily, “She’d been hunting ‘round for something fun!”
[2012-04-02 21:29:45] * Cloud_Dancer sits silent as Gloom sings about her, staring down into her empty bowl for a long long time. Looking up very slowly as the little zebra does her rounds around the campfire. Looking back to her with a little bit of a smile finally. A genuine, not forced, not worried or scared or hurt smile. Just... A smile.
[2012-04-02 21:30:21] * Little_Gloom trots towards the Zanzebra's gangplank, singing cheerily, “Then with just one wave of her silvery tail, and a giggle bright and pure...”
[2012-04-02 21:30:50] * Little_Gloom sings as she trots up the gangplank, “We’d be off at last in the Zanzebra to our newest adventure!”
[2012-04-02 21:31:28] * Little_Gloom reaches the top and turns, belting out again, “Cloud Dancer the pegasus, the mare of the Zanzebra!”

[2012-04-02 21:34:35] * Cloud_Dancer keeps watching Gloom. Slowly rising to her hooves and trotting up the gangplank as the song came to a close, throwing her forelegs around the zebra in a tight hug, "Thank you." smiling happily with a little giggle, "Thank you so much." She needed that. More than she thought she could ever need anything.

[2012-04-02 21:36:15] * Night_Sweep stomps her forehooves on the ground to an applause, "Woo!" that was really something! She kinda gets dragged in the moment, as she feels she shouldn't worry too much about things. Really, after dragging a balefire bomb around, what else is to worry about? She cheers on Gloom and Cloud_Dancer for a while.
[2012-04-02 21:37:21] * Little_Gloom hops up onto the Zanzebra's railing, singing, “You could say that by in large it is she who is in charge.  She’s our fearless admiral!”
