  1. [2013-12-25 13:27:57] <Little_Gloom> 3Friendship.
  2. [2013-12-25 13:30:50] <Little_Gloom> 3A month ago, this group of ponies and a griffin were strangers. Together, they signed up to be an exploratory caravan. Their mission, as they discovered later at Darkness Falls, was to penetrate the zebra lands and retrieve a balefire bomb for a private entrepreneur named Golden Buckle.
  3. [2013-12-25 13:33:32] <Little_Gloom> 3The bomb was to be detonated in Gaia Valley, a geographically isolated area -- a box canyon -- where the company Solaris had once detonated a similar bomb in order to test radiation-devouring plant life.
  4. [2013-12-25 13:34:29] <Little_Gloom> 3The group's travels took them through Gaia Valley, where they encountered an Enclave Remnant operation in league with the Barn Stormers gun runners, and where they ended a dormant Solaris threat to the recovering wasteland. It was their first real adventure together, and the first bonding experience for many of them.
  5. [2013-12-25 13:39:13] <Little_Gloom> 3The Crystal Empire proved an even stronger one, as they fought to restore love and life to a crumbled kingdom which had lost its heart. They succeeded, helping an entire people, and nudging the kingdom's leaders to reforge their own shattered relationship.
  6. [2013-12-25 13:40:51] <Little_Gloom> 3In the process, they made new friends. And they helped free two of them -- the cloned mind of Sweetie Belle, set free through technology fashioned by Get_Lost, and the ghostly and mysterious Mare-Do-Well.
  7. [2013-12-25 13:42:53] <Little_Gloom> 3Through each experience, each adventure, they learned about each other, overcame differences, and grew closer. The magic of friendship began to grow between them. And when finally they were beset upon by a windigo within the ruins of the Shattered Hoof SPP tower, that magic was strong enough to drive it off, possibly even wounding it mortally.
  8. [2013-12-25 13:45:12] <Little_Gloom> 3To become friends -- true friends -- you must know each other. And in the wake of the windigo, the group laid bare many of their secrets, letting each other in. Even the mysterious Mare-Do-Well revealed who she truly was. The magical fires of friendship grew stronger.
  9. [2013-12-25 13:46:10] <Little_Gloom> 3And now... they sleep, the cold about them in this harsh place near the top of the worldunequal to the warmth between them.
  10. [2013-12-25 13:49:25] <Little_Gloom> 3Perk Gained: Mysterious Mare-Do-Well -- your whole party may now claim the ghostly Rainbow Dash as a friend! (Those who already have this perk may gain a free perk of level 10 or less which they otherwise qualify for.)
  11. [2013-12-25 13:53:14] <Little_Gloom> 3Quest Perk Added: Strength in Friendship -- whenever a nearby friend is making an Endurance or Charisma roll to withstand a mental or spiritual attack, you can give them a +1 bonus to the roll (maximum +3).

  13. [2013-12-25 13:54:32] <Little_Gloom> 3--- Session Begins ---
  14. [2013-12-25 13:56:13] * Get_Lost moves in the dark of the night, trying to give kid the best surprise ever! she will be so happy when she wakes up! this is so exciting! are you excited? i am so excited!
  15. [2013-12-25 13:57:01] * CopyCat dreams an exciting dream!
  16. [2013-12-25 13:57:19] <Get_Lost> -CLACK!-
  17. [2013-12-25 13:58:26] * Noble_Heart lays quietly beside Golden Dream, sleeping soundly with a wing draped over the other's sleeping bag.
  18. [2013-12-25 13:58:35] * Get_Lost clop her hooves together and goes back to sleep
  19. [2013-12-25 13:59:07] * Shatara rolls amongst the soft and warm ponypile in his sleep.
  20. [2013-12-25 13:59:18] * Bookwright dreams of electric crystal battle ewes.
  21. [2013-12-25 14:01:58] <Little_Gloom> 3Get_Lost is the only one awake, playing secret gift-giver all sneaky-sneaky. (The red suit helps!) That's why she's the only one to notice the approaching figures in the dark.
  22. [2013-12-25 14:02:36] * Get_Lost pokes the first pony/griffon she has in range and whispers "hey, hey... there's something coming this way...."
  23. [2013-12-25 14:06:47] * CopyCat yawns sleepily in Get's face. Then she realises what Get_Lost was talking about and curiously turns her mind's eye towards those approaching figures.
  24. [2013-12-25 14:07:48] <Little_Gloom> 3The figures are clad in black carapace armor. A patrol squad of Enclave Remnants.
  25. [2013-12-25 14:08:20] * Get_Lost pokes another pony trying to wake him/her up too, but trying to be as silent as possible "there's somepony aprpoaching, wake up..."
  26. [2013-12-25 14:11:52] * Noble_Heart snoozes quietly beside Golden Dream. Blissfully unaware of what was likely to be disastrous.
  27. [2013-12-25 14:15:18] * CopyCat joins Get_Lost's whispering. "They are definitely ponies. I'm sensing caution from both but there's also bemusement from one of them."
  28. [2013-12-25 14:15:48] * CopyCat tilts her head. "I guess they don't find many pony piles out here."
  29. [2013-12-25 14:16:00] * Shatara mrrfs at Get_Lost's prodding "Girls, that tickles~.." He doesnt seem to be awake.
  30. [2013-12-25 14:16:48] * CopyCat then nods. "Oh, and they want to use stun grenades on us if we fight back. So they want us alive I guess."
  31. [2013-12-25 14:17:32] * Get_Lost pokes some other pony, actually, she pokes all the others, trying to keep it as quiet as possible
  32. [2013-12-25 14:17:40] * CopyCat looks straight at Get_Lost. "Should I do the princess thing?"
  33. [2013-12-25 14:17:57] * Noble_Heart blinks slowly awake with a wide yawn. "... We are awake. What is going on?" She slowly rose to her hooves and moved out of the tent, into the darkness of the tunnel.
  34. [2013-12-25 14:18:08] <Little_Gloom> 3The squad approaches, flying silently, spreading out in an effort to surround the ponypile... which, honestly, is easily surrounded. Only three of them are wearing full Enclave power armor, the others wearing heavily winterized patrol suits.
  35. [2013-12-25 14:18:27] * Bookwright groans. "Awww, I was having a nice dream about a library..."
  36. [2013-12-25 14:18:40] <Little_Gloom> 3As Noble_Heart begins to wake, they move close enough to be in the firelight.
  37. [2013-12-25 14:20:38] * Shatara starts to come to as the ponies around disturb.
  38. [2013-12-25 14:20:55] * Get_Lost whispers to those who are gettign awake "there are enclave pegasi... quite a lot"
  39. [2013-12-25 14:21:08] * Noble_Heart blinks and tilts her head to one side, then frowns. "We were not expecting visitors."
  40. [2013-12-25 14:21:47] * Get_Lost "well, it looks like now we have visitors anyway..."
  41. [2013-12-25 14:22:37] * CopyCat takes to the air, casts Combat Precognition, and then Light to make herself (still in Celestia's form) fully visible. "Halt soldiers of the sky! Do you dare bare arms against your princess?"
  42. [2013-12-25 14:24:31] <Little_Gloom> 3The apparently leader chuckles. "Well, now isn't this just adorable."
  43. [2013-12-25 14:25:52] <Little_Gloom> 3One of the others in Enclave power armor moves forward. "They're dangerous! I recommend wiping them, now. While most of them are still asleep."
  44. [2013-12-25 14:26:16] * Bookwright "Uuurgh... please don't, I haven't woken fully up yet..."
  45. [2013-12-25 14:26:32] * Get_Lost switches to normal sight and takes alook at the ponies... they look armed and could be dangerous... "ah... there are wendigos here around... please avoid everything involving a fight if you don't want to learn how it feels to be an icicle"\
  46. [2013-12-25 14:27:42] * CopyCat frowns at the 'leader' and crosses her hooves. "We are not amused."
  47. [2013-12-25 14:29:38] * Noble_Heart sighs quietly. "We doubt they would believe what is happening here." She looks between the soldiers quietly a few moments.
  48. [2013-12-25 14:29:50] <Little_Gloom> 3The third power-armored pegasus seems to agree with Get_Lost. "We cannot afford hostilities here."
  49. [2013-12-25 14:31:56] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader shakes her head a little, "Well, then... perhaps they would like to surrender peacefully."
  50. [2013-12-25 14:32:34] <Little_Gloom> 3The hostile stallion protests, again insisting you are all dangerous and should be dealt with permanently, not taken back to base.
  51. [2013-12-25 14:32:51] * Get_Lost tilts her head "surrender? why? do you need something? maybe we can simply talk this out..."
  52. [2013-12-25 14:33:09] * Bookwright groans and sits up groggily. "Why do we need to surrender? Why do we need to go with you at all?" He yawns again.
  53. [2013-12-25 14:33:58] * FridgePhone snores sharply. Mrgle. Something felt heavy on her leg. This worried her, but not enough to wake her up. Stupid voices, trying to...\
  54. [2013-12-25 14:34:33] * Kid does this.
  55. [2013-12-25 14:34:53] * CopyCat drops to the ground with her friends. "I don't think they believed me," she whispers. "Also, that one seems to recognise you from a place called Gaia valley," she points at the 'hostile' one.
  56. [2013-12-25 14:35:07] * Shatara flails awake, his talon going for his pistol, but hesitating as he sees the situation. Nobody's shooting...yet. His eyes snap towards the familiar voice amongs the pegasi, bringing memories of dodging mines to the surface of his thoughts.
  57. [2013-12-25 14:36:21] * Noble_Heart looks towards the hostile one and raises an eyebrow. "Ah. One of the ones who was hiding there, We suppose." She furrowed her brow. "Yes, We would like to know why you desire Us to go with you."
  58. [2013-12-25 14:37:16] <Little_Gloom> 3"You are trespassing in Enclave Loyalist territory," the leader explains, sounding slightly bored. "Major Bloodstreak, confiscate their weapons," she orders, then speaking generally, "If they put up resistance, subdue them with overkill." The mare in power armor who initially agreed with Get_Lost nods and moves forward, collecting weapons off the ground.
  59. [2013-12-25 14:40:59] * Bookwright floats Pew-Pew up from his holster and holds it against the forehead of the mare collecting weapons. "Don't move, or I'll blast you."
  60. [2013-12-25 14:41:08] <Little_Gloom> 3One of the younger pegasi in winterized scout armor asks meekly, "Th-that's... not actually Celestia, is it?"
  61. [2013-12-25 14:41:15] * Bookwright yawns again.
  62. [2013-12-25 14:41:47] * Get_Lost shrugs "you should try better..."
  63. [2013-12-25 14:41:48] * CopyCat turns her nose up and hurmphs. "And they call themselves 'Loyalists'."
  64. [2013-12-25 14:43:11] * Bookwright "I have, on my person, a grenade launcher, a MASER, a custom experimental sonic weapon, stun grenades, and ol' Pew-Pew here. What guarantees do I have that I'll get mine back, hmm?"
  65. [2013-12-25 14:43:30] * Noble_Heart frowns, her own weapons rather large, heavy, and attached to her bags. "We are still uncertain as to why Our presence here matters to you. We are merely passing through on Our way towards the zebra's lands."
  66. [2013-12-25 14:44:06] <Little_Gloom> 3The Enclave mare with Pew-Pew to her head stops. The male in power armor immediately flies upwards, targeting Bookwright with twin grenade launchers. "Drop it! Now!"
  67. [2013-12-25 14:44:45] * Bookwright smiles lazily. "No. If you shoot, she'll definitely die."
  68. [2013-12-25 14:44:53] * Get_Lost "please, just be reasonable... if somepony shoots, everypony dies... it's clearly an empasse... you really are THAT stupid?"
  69. [2013-12-25 14:45:54] * Shatara frets, glancing back and forth between Bookwright and Get_Lost, talon gripping his pistol.
  70. [2013-12-25 14:46:04] * Bookwright shrugs. Pew-Pew floats. Then, suddenly, the spark pack jumps out of the weird, oversized pistol and and lands on the ground. *SPANG*
  71. [2013-12-25 14:46:06] * Noble_Heart groans and sighs. "We would still like to know why it is you care."
  72. [2013-12-25 14:46:07] <Little_Gloom> 3The male grunts. The leader shakes her head. "Stun grenades. No pony dies. Everyone we want is rendered unconscious. Without hostility, those... things... can't attack."
  73. [2013-12-25 14:46:51] * Bookwright "I'll divest myself of almost all my weapons. And you can keep the ammo for ol' Pew-Pew here. But she stays with me. I have a, ah, personal attachment to her."
  74. [2013-12-25 14:46:52] * Shatara mutters. "Hostility is an emotion, not an ammunition type..."
  75. [2013-12-25 14:47:01] * Get_Lost "ah! i dont' think you can trick them... this is clearly already getting pretty hostile, i guess they're already coming for us..."
  76. [2013-12-25 14:47:30] <Little_Gloom> 3The mare with Pew-Pew in her face looks towards the leader hopefully. That works, right?"
  77. [2013-12-25 14:47:42] * Get_Lost "why dont' you come down and we have a chat, bartes something, play friends, then we go to our way, you go on with your flight and we remain friends?"
  78. [2013-12-25 14:47:42] * Bookwright spins Pew-Pew in midair, and sildes it back into his holster.
  79. [2013-12-25 14:47:58] <Get_Lost> *barter
  80. [2013-12-25 14:48:36] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader considers, then nods. "Major Bloodstreak, confiscate their ammo and any melee are martial weapons." She looks to Bookwright. "Satisfactory?"
  81. [2013-12-25 14:49:26] * Bookwright nods. "Yep. That's fine. We left our wagon on the other end of this tower. Unless you're planning to carry us on your backs, we should probably go get it."
  82. [2013-12-25 14:50:01] <Little_Gloom> 3One of the other Enclave bucks asks, "Should we really be arresting the Goddess?" To which another answers, "She's not really Celestia, featherbrain. How could she be?"
  83. [2013-12-25 14:51:16] <Little_Gloom> 3Major Bloodstreak seems almost apologetic as she starts asking for weapons, intent on taking ammo and checking to make sure there isn't a round in any chambers. "Sorry about this. We're required to intercept anyone headed for the Sentinel."
  84. [2013-12-25 14:51:57] * Get_Lost looks in the bags "i have a pickaxe, a shovel, a couple of scalpels... do you want the too?"
  85. [2013-12-25 14:52:33] <Get_Lost> *them
  86. [2013-12-25 14:53:19] <Little_Gloom> 3Major Bloodstreak considers that, then asks for the pickaxe and the shovel.
  87. [2013-12-25 14:53:45] * Get_Lost gives them to the pegasi
  88. [2013-12-25 14:54:28] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader turns to the mares and buck behind her who are arguing over the Celestia-ness of CopyCat. "You two, go check on that. If you find a wagon, bring it here."
  89. [2013-12-25 14:54:45] * Noble_Heart frowns, pulling free the crystal jousting lance and crystal lamp-post sword from their holders. Then pauses briefly and digs a 9mm pistol from her bag and the munitions for it. And the 9-iron she had had when she first met her new friends. "We believe these are all of Our weapons."
  90. [2013-12-25 14:54:56] * Bookwright "So perhaps you can enlighten us. What exactly is 'the sentinel' and why do you pronounce the word like it's capitalized?"
  91. [2013-12-25 14:55:08] * Get_Lost "also, we didn't want to tresspass or something... we can take a different route if you can point it to us..."
  92. [2013-12-25 14:55:25] * Shatara sighs a little and ejects the magazine from his pistol.
  93. [2013-12-25 14:57:38] * Kid blearily gets up... And then promptly tries to ignore the big "loading..." In the bottom left of her vision. Shit. Voices. Shit! What's going on?!
  94. [2013-12-25 14:57:39] * CopyCat notices the younger pegasi's doubt and decides to continue the charade, if only for her own amusement. She shakes her head sadly. "I had hoped my little ponies would be helping one another rebuild after facing such harshships. Sadly some still wish to play soldiers."
  95. [2013-12-25 14:57:53] * Noble_Heart rubs her chin. "So that is what happened to the Steel Rangers who had come here before. A conflict erupted in the tower, and it would seem that the Windigos got the best of both sides."
  96. [2013-12-25 14:58:06] <Little_Gloom> 3The major nods, collecting them. "Thank you," she says as she takes Shatara's magazine. She then peeks her head into one of the tents.
  97. [2013-12-25 14:58:49] <Little_Gloom> 3Kid finds herself looking at the head of a suit of Enclave power armor. "Oh... sorry to wake you. I need to get your ammo."
  98. [2013-12-25 14:59:27] <Little_Gloom> 3CopyCat can sense the leader rolling her eyes.
  99. [2013-12-25 15:00:06] * Noble_Heart chuckles quietly. Such polite military injunction.
  100. [2013-12-25 15:00:31] * Mrs_Voice a metallic voice can be heard from kid's pipbuck "a proper lady always introduces herself"
  101. [2013-12-25 15:00:46] * Bookwright "Just do it Kid. Before I stuck Pew-Pew in somemare's face, they wanted the weapons too."
  102. [2013-12-25 15:01:12] <Little_Gloom> 3The younger pegasi look nervous (and one of them a little ashamed) at "Celestia's" admonition. Two of them turn and fly off, as ordered, while the third hangs her head low and tries to pretend she's someplace else.
  103. [2013-12-25 15:01:27] * Mrs_Voice "just don't sit there, young lady! get up, head up, keep the tail off the ground! smile! smile more!"
  104. [2013-12-25 15:02:06] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader responds to Noble_Heart with, "We've become more cautious since then."
  105. [2013-12-25 15:03:29] * Noble_Heart looks up towards the leader. "So it would seem. We would assume then that this Sentinel is one of the downed Raptors? Perhaps the remains which you are now using as your home? We cannot imagine that there is something in the wreckage of this tower so desireable to you."
  106. [2013-12-25 15:03:36] <Little_Gloom> 3The mare stares at Kid, and finds herself responding to the PipBuck, "Major Bloodstreak, ma'am."
  107. [2013-12-25 15:04:45] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader cocks her head. "The Sentinel is... the Sentinel." She shakes her head in bewilderment. "If you don't know about the Sentinel, then who are you ponies? And why are you in this territory?"
  108. [2013-12-25 15:06:08] * Get_Lost "i'm get lost solaris! i'm a medic a scientist"
  109. [2013-12-25 15:06:09] * Noble_Heart sighs. "We already said that. We are traveling towards the zebra lands. This is the only land connection between Equestria and the lands of the Zebras, is it not? That is why this camp was here. It belonged to Zebra refugees before Us."
  110. [2013-12-25 15:06:20] * Kid sneers. Shit. She hoofs over her shotgun shells. One fucked up situation at a time. She kept the grenades, though. If anyone asks, she'll honestly say they're broke.
  111. [2013-12-25 15:10:48] * Kid tries to suppress some impulses she picked up when daddy's old crew came barreling around. "Explain." She hissed.
  112. [2013-12-25 15:11:17] * Mrs_Voice the voice from kid's pipbuck presses "don't make the mice lady wait, introduce yourself too, and make it properly! this is goinf to be a looong way to the gala...."
  113. [2013-12-25 15:11:20] * CopyCat attempts to look regal. "I am Princess Celestia and we are on a diplomatic mission to visit the zebra homeland."
  114. [2013-12-25 15:11:27] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader tries another questions, "Who do you work for? If you are with a caravan company, which one?"
  115. [2013-12-25 15:11:28] <Mrs_Voice> *nice lady
  116. [2013-12-25 15:12:44] <Little_Gloom> 3Major Bloodstreak explains, "You're being taken captive... but in a friendly way. We're letting you keep your guns, but we're confiscating your ammo and all other weapons."
  117. [2013-12-25 15:13:17] * Get_Lost taps her chin "i dont' remember the name... it was a nice stallion and he almost got killed in an ambush"
  118. [2013-12-25 15:15:26] * Noble_Heart looks up to the leader. "We are being employed by the Crimson Caravans company to retrieve an item for their use from the zebra homelands. Beyond that We are not allowed to say, lest We sacrifice Our payment."
  119. [2013-12-25 15:15:49] <Little_Gloom> 3The pegasi look to one another. On the faces you can see, frowns form.
  120. [2013-12-25 15:18:02] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader snaps, "We'll worry about that when we get back to base." She turns to the tent with the tail end of an armored mare sticking out of it. "Major, hurry it up. I want this group moving before those things wander this way again."
  121. [2013-12-25 15:18:26] * Noble_Heart raises an eyebrow. "Our answer does not please you?"
  122. [2013-12-25 15:19:13] * Bookwright snorts. "So, are you featherbrains going to carry us on your backs or something? In case you haven't noticed, half of us don't fly.
  123. [2013-12-25 15:19:28] * CopyCat crosses her hooves. "Well /I'm/ being Celestia."
  124. [2013-12-25 15:21:57] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader notes, "If your wagon is where you said it is, it will be here in a minute."
  125. [2013-12-25 15:22:23] * Noble_Heart taps her chin. "We would hope it is still were We left it. Without it travel would be much slower, and more difficult."
  126. [2013-12-25 15:25:13] <Little_Gloom> 3A howl rises on the wind.
  127. [2013-12-25 15:25:41] * Get_Lost since it looks like it will get a while before anything moves, the mare sits down and goes back working on something, only to be stopped by the howl "well, that's bad news"
  128. [2013-12-25 15:26:50] * Shatara wingtwitches nervously.
  129. [2013-12-25 15:26:55] * Noble_Heart blinks, looking up and down the tunnel. "That is troubling."
  130. [2013-12-25 15:27:58] <Little_Gloom> 3A ghostly voice carries on a phantom wind, whispering, "Uh... we've got a problem."
  131. [2013-12-25 15:28:01] * Get_Lost goes on working on whatever she was working on
  132. [2013-12-25 15:29:35] * Get_Lost "you should fly, i think... we can fend for ourselves... still, if you're confident enough about your friendship, stay and mee the wendigos"
  133. [2013-12-25 15:29:43] * Golden_Dream hates this situation. Every muscle in her body felt like it was vibrating with an angry panic. She needed to be out of here. She needed to kill all these fuckers. She needed to run away. She needed to stay put and be a good girl. She needed to know "What th' hell is with this voice?" She looks to Rainbow Dash's voice. "What's goin' on?" Her tone is fraught with worry, as if already coming up...
  134. [2013-12-25 15:29:45] * Golden_Dream ...with several, several different ways this could go wrong.
  135. [2013-12-25 15:30:56] <Little_Gloom> 3Mare-Do-Well swoops into Golden_Dream's tent, her face popping through the face of Major Bloodstreak. "Heads up. The wagon isn't coming. Couple a' windigo have circled it. The two up there are holding onto each other, but I don't know for how long."
  136. [2013-12-25 15:31:45] <Little_Gloom> 3Mare-Do-Well adds, "They need help."
  137. [2013-12-25 15:32:45] * Golden_Dream gets an evil idea in her head. "... Ya'll best be goin' t' help yer buddies. Whisper on th' winds are sayin' that they're bein' attacked."
  138. [2013-12-25 15:35:26] <Little_Gloom> 3Major Bloodstreak asks, "Come again?"
  139. [2013-12-25 15:35:42] * Bookwright shakes his head, as if to clear cobwebs. "Don't they have radios? Check in with 'em. They shoulda been back by now."
  140. [2013-12-25 15:36:50] * CopyCat turns back the way they had originally come. "My little ponies are in danger. Windigos threaten to freeze them forever. If you will not help them, then I will."
  141. [2013-12-25 15:36:57] <Little_Gloom> 3Bloodstreak backs out of the tent. "Got them all. But... I think the mare in here is getting something on her PipBuck about Gust and Morning Glimmer.
  142. [2013-12-25 15:37:10] * Noble_Heart looks down the tunnel and frowns. "Perhaps the two who you sent are not so safe. We have already critically wounded one of the Windigos. It is likely they were awaiting Our return to Our vehicle."
  143. [2013-12-25 15:38:04] * Get_Lost gets up "okay, i'm not letting two more ponies die like that... let's go" the mare starts trotting directly towards the howl
  144. [2013-12-25 15:38:43] * Golden_Dream frowns. Galdurnit, why aren't they getting the hint to start trying to get those enclave dickbags to... She stared at Get_Lost. "Get, where th' hell do you think you're goin'?"
  145. [2013-12-25 15:38:47] * Noble_Heart turns to follow after Get Lost. "We do not think walking will be fast enough. It is a long way back there, but We might be able to carry a few of us back with Our magic."
  146. [2013-12-25 15:39:06] * Get_Lost "i'm trying to save lives... you know... i'm a medic"
  147. [2013-12-25 15:39:37] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader swiftly turns aside. You can hear her barking into the comm in her helmet, demanding the two younger pegasi report. A moment later, "No response. They're in trouble. Everyone, on my wing. Major Tripwire, you take up the rear. If anyone tries anything, take them down." With that, she turns and spreads her wings.
  148. [2013-12-25 15:39:43] * Get_Lost okay let's get faster then, noble
  149. [2013-12-25 15:40:00] <Get_Lost> ""
  150. [2013-12-25 15:40:04] <Little_Gloom> 3"I'm trusting you ponies not to be stupid. That goes for the griffon too."
  151. [2013-12-25 15:40:23] <Little_Gloom> 3She begins flying quickly down the tunnel.
  152. [2013-12-25 15:40:59] * Golden_Dream just stares at Get. We do not disturb enemies making mistakes, and we definitely don't help them when they screw up, damnit. "Get. What's with the fancy new bracelet? Why's it so..."
  153. [2013-12-25 15:41:00] <Little_Gloom> 3Major Bloodstreak looks to Golden_Dream. "Need a lift?"
  154. [2013-12-25 15:41:43] * Get_Lost "it's a gift, from me to you. i hope it will make you happy"
  155. [2013-12-25 15:41:56] * Get_Lost "you deserve to be happy."
  156. [2013-12-25 15:42:29] * Golden_Dream frowns, giving what was attempted to be a gutteral grunt. It turned out sounding something cuter, like a puppy trying to growl. "Depends. Do ya'll know White Lightnin'?"
  157. [2013-12-25 15:42:36] * CopyCat takes off at once. Perhaps bringing Bookwright along for the ride.
  158. [2013-12-25 15:43:12] * Get_Lost accepts whatever lift sh can take
  159. [2013-12-25 15:43:12] <Little_Gloom> 3The remaining younger pegasi mare flies up. "Um... anyone else need a ride? I'm not very strong, but I could try."
  160. [2013-12-25 15:44:06] * Shatara bites his talon as he takes off with the others.
  161. [2013-12-25 15:44:22] * Noble_Heart looks to Get Lost, lifting her with magic before taking to the air to fly back towards the wagon. She didn't like trusting a pegasus to carry Golden Dream, but right now they didn't have enough time to argue the point.
  162. [2013-12-25 15:46:09] * Bookwright "Wheee~!"
  163. [2013-12-25 15:49:40] * Get_Lost "i don't think i know him, but i know you should start trying to love yourself some more. and learning to be a modern and nice lady will help you a lot in that way"
  164. [2013-12-25 15:53:10] * Golden_Dream wasn't really talking to Get_Lost. "I'll take that advice in for consideration when they aren't being held hostage, but thank you for th' thought." The pipbuck trilled. "Now, now. Sarcasm is unbecoming of a lady." She hated this thing.
  165. [2013-12-25 15:53:45] <Little_Gloom> 3The tunnel is long, but the flight is swift. The pegasi are fast fliers, clearly well trained, and all but the one ordered to take up the rear quickly outpace the party. The wind against face, breast and wings takes on an unpleasant and slightly unearthly chill as the group exits into the snow-filled night.
  166. [2013-12-25 15:54:13] * Golden_Dream eventually does go with the nicer sounding pegasus.
  167. [2013-12-25 15:55:09] <Little_Gloom> 3THe howls become louder. You can see swirling eddies of frosty blue in the air around part of the tower. The wagon is there... the two pegasi have landed on the tower and are huddled together for warmth next to the wagon.
  168. [2013-12-25 15:56:48] * Noble_Heart turns in the air to come in to land near the windigo attacks. "What are We going to do to them, then?"
  169. [2013-12-25 15:57:15] * Get_Lost "alright, we go there and greet them like friends, i guess?"
  170. [2013-12-25 15:58:07] * Get_Lost trots towards the windigoes "hey there, sorry for your friend, can you please leave our friends alone, pretty please?"
  171. [2013-12-25 15:59:42] * Bookwright hugs CopyCat because she's the nearest huggable princess!
  172. [2013-12-25 16:00:13] <Little_Gloom> 3CopyCat and Bookwright can see the forms of the windigoes in the cold, swirling light. Since Mare-Do-Well last saw them, another had joined, for there are three of them now. One is smaller and looks ragged... and, if possible, even more hateful than the others.
  173. [2013-12-25 16:00:29] * CopyCat goes in to land in front of the two grounded pegasi, her horn once again shining in the frosted gloom. "Do not fear my little ponies, your Princess is here to keep you safe."
  174. [2013-12-25 16:01:39] * Get_Lost yells at the sky "c'mon don't play grumpy! look what i have here!" takes 3 bottles of sparkle cole from her saddlebags "come down and let's make friends!"
  175. [2013-12-25 16:02:30] * Noble_Heart moves up towards the pegasi. "Are you two alright. Have they hurt you? We shall do what We can to protect you." She turned towards the howling winds, standing by CopyCat's side, spreading a wing around her in solidarity.
  176. [2013-12-25 16:03:46] * Get_Lost rummages in her bagsa little more "do you want to join the equestrian sisterhood?" shows the poster of the sisterhood at the sky
  177. [2013-12-25 16:03:50] <Little_Gloom> 3While the kinder and somewhat shy pegasus mare may have qualities of personality reminiscent of Fluttershy, her skill in flight is most assuredly not. Golden_Dream finds herself flown as cring-inducing speeds... and the only reason she doesn't end up at the wagon before the Enclave patrol leader is the mare forces herself to slow down.
  178. [2013-12-25 16:05:02] * Shatara points into the stormy skies. "Zombie goasts! Leave this place!" He is probably pointing the wrong way.
  179. [2013-12-25 16:07:31] * Get_Lost then realizes "hey, i know what we need right now!" clops her hooves together "A SONG!"
  180. [2013-12-25 16:07:42] <Little_Gloom> 3The pegasus mare carrying Golden_Dream helpfully points out for Shatara, "That way."
  181. [2013-12-25 16:08:13] * Golden_Dream is not at all expecting this! She expected an easy, warm ride, not a speed freak! "Slow down before m' face peels off y' durned flyin'..." And then she was there. She looks up at the swirling vortex up above. She looked at the ragged windigo. For some reason, she felt a kinship to it. This was not a nice thought.
  182. [2013-12-25 16:08:20] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader seems to pause at that. "A song? Seriously?"
  183. [2013-12-25 16:08:28] * Get_Lost grabs the first pony next to her, probably bookie and starts
  184. [2013-12-25 16:08:45] * Noble_Heart looks to the leader. "We believe a song sounds like a wonderful plan, actually."
  185. [2013-12-25 16:09:27] * Get_Lost "you got a friend in me, you ggot a friend in me! when the road looks, rough ahead and you're miles and miles from your own warm bed..."
  186. [2013-12-25 16:09:30] <Little_Gloom> 3Mare-Do-Well swoops next to Golden_Dream, looking at the mare carrying her. "I like her," she smiles to Golden_Dream.
  187. [2013-12-25 16:09:35] * Bookwright nods, completely seriously at the leader. "Yes. A song. Wendigos feed off of hate and anger, right? We managed to harm one earlier by sharing our camaraderie. And what better way than with a rousing song?"
  188. [2013-12-25 16:10:53] * Golden_Dream sighed. "Look, we just fended off one by makin' with th' hugs and th' baby talk. Sensibility went out th' window th' moment you landed down here."
  189. [2013-12-25 16:11:32] * Golden_Dream glares at Mare-Do-Well. "Ya'll know she's holdin' us hostage an' stuff, right?"
  190. [2013-12-25 16:12:10] <Little_Gloom> 3The wagon is sunken into the snow on the fallen tower, the pegasi partially obscured by walls of white. Icicles are forming on their muzzles and wingtips as they hold each other. They look up hopefully at "Celestia".
  191. [2013-12-25 16:12:36] * Get_Lost "you just remember what your oldpal says! you've got a friend in me!" points a hoof at bookie's chest smiling
  192. [2013-12-25 16:12:40] <Little_Gloom> 3Mare-Do-Well nods.
  193. [2013-12-25 16:12:44] * CopyCat steps towards the two huddling pegasi they were here to save and gives them a motherly smile. Spreads her wings for them to join her and sings alone with Get_Lost.
  194. [2013-12-25 16:12:57] * Bookwright nods. "And you got a friend in me, Get."
  195. [2013-12-25 16:13:08] * Get_Lost sings louder
  196. [2013-12-25 16:14:03] * CopyCat "Yeah, you've got a friend in me!"
  197. [2013-12-25 16:14:13] * Noble_Heart looks up to Get Lost's song, sharing in the celebration and offering a place between her and CopyCat for the pegasi.
  198. [2013-12-25 16:14:42] <Little_Gloom> 3The pegasi stare at the ponies like you are all crazy. That is, until the leader barks, "Get singing!"
  199. [2013-12-25 16:15:19] <Little_Gloom> 3The leader proceeds to land next to the two alicorns, wrapping the pegasi in her wings and staring defiantly at the sky.
  200. [2013-12-25 16:16:23] <Little_Gloom> 3Major Tripwire grumbles, muttering something about having a better idea, and it including eliminating everyone here who isn't Enclave.
  201. [2013-12-25 16:17:33] * Noble_Heart trots up to the Major. "We have not apologized properly for Our conflict in Gaia Valley, have We?" She bowed her head. "We are sorry for the nature of Our first meeting. It is always a sad day when two ponies meet with weapons and not words."
  202. [2013-12-25 16:20:37] <Little_Gloom> 3Major Tripwire stares at Noble_Heart like she's lost her damn alicorn mind. "uh... Sure. Apology accepted."
  203. [2013-12-25 16:23:15] * Golden_Dream stays silent. She can't let go of this feeling of... Bitterness, probably. Not anger. Not sadness. Just like emotional equivalent of touching a scar that hadn't quite healed yet. It's bad for you to keep it, and it's bad for you to agitate it.
  204. [2013-12-25 16:24:14] * Golden_Dream tries to force it back, but it's like forcing back an instinct.
  205. [2013-12-25 16:28:29] * Noble_Heart bows her head. "We do not like fighting other ponies. It is a terrible thing to see someone suffer the loss of a friend. So it is unfair of Us to trivialize your unhappiness. But We wished you to know that We never meant ill will towards those We faced." She turned and moved back to stand beside Copy Cat, doing her best to protect the pegasi. "No pony should need to fear
  206. [2013-12-25 16:28:30] * Noble_Heart their own heart. That such spite and hate still lingers is a sad thing. But We will not allow another to be punished simply because they are not flawless. It is not fair. Our friends are flawed. We are flawed. But together we can be better."
  207. [2013-12-25 16:33:25] * Golden_Dream frowns. How do you take that sort of bitterness and turn it into something that would make a damn Windigo fuck off? She didn't know. "Dear, are you alright? You haven't said two words since you put me on." She loved her friends. She hated the fuckers what had a gun to her head. So how do you turn those two into pure friendship?
  208. [2013-12-25 16:38:11] * CopyCat shivers with the cold notices that Get_Lost and Bookwright's song does not catch on as well as it could. "Alright everypony, perhaps an old pony classic: 'The fire of friendship lives in our hearts, As long as it burns we cannot drift apart...' "
  209. [2013-12-25 16:39:26] * Noble_Heart tilts her head to one side, curious about CopyCat's song. Doing her best to follow along.
  210. [2013-12-25 16:40:03] <Little_Gloom> 3A wind of deathly cold blasts across the sky. The initial spiritual onslaught of the windigo trio is devistating! CopyCat, Get_Lost and several of the pegasi feel the worst, most hateful feelings in their hearts bubble forth as ice begins to form in their manes and tails.
  211. [2013-12-25 16:40:19] <Little_Gloom> 3The pegasi holding Golden_Dream falls into snow deeper than the small mare is tall as ice covers the pegasi's wings.
  212. [2013-12-25 16:41:43] <Little_Gloom> 3But likewise, the resistance shown by many of the ponies is enough to shatter the windigo's coordinated attack. Now, instead of fighting the group, the windigos begin to target ponies in smaller numbers, avoiding those whose hearts defied them most strongly.
  213. [2013-12-25 16:42:44] * Shatara pulls Get_Lost and CopyCat to his sides with his wings. He sings along with CopyCat, despite not quite knowing all the words.
  214. [2013-12-25 16:42:47] * Golden_Dream contemplates and sits down, looking at her friends trying to make peace with the fuckers that had just not previously taken away their agency, trying to sing songs (badly) and trying to force what she felt should just come naturally. And then, she fell. She tried to scramble up, but it was just... Snow, snow everywhere. And the mare underneath her. Fuck her. Fuck her and the group she's...
  215. [2013-12-25 16:42:49] * Golden_Dream ...with. She deserves to die for holding her captive, she deserves this. So why did she want to help her up?
  216. [2013-12-25 16:42:54] * Get_Lost having an heart of steal doesn't help fighting with warm feelings, the mare feels the ice and starts losing it
  217. [2013-12-25 16:44:32] * Noble_Heart waves a wings to the others. "Come close! We must stand together or We shall surely freeze apart." She shudders at the cold briefly and shakes her head. "These ponies are not to be hated or spited. They seek to protect their home, their place in the world. We have come to their place." She bows her head sadly. "We shall do what We can to help them, as We would any pony."
  218. [2013-12-25 16:45:14] * Get_Lost realization is now more than always evident in her head. she'll always be get lost, no matter how far she goes. nopony wants to make friends with a mad scientist daughter. so... maybe it's better to just sit and die here... it will be a lot better for everypony
  219. [2013-12-25 16:45:25] <Little_Gloom> 3CopyCat, Golden_Dream and Star Dust (the shy little speedster) find themselves facing one windigo. Get_Lost discovers herself facing the same one as Major Tripwire and Noble_Heart. The wounded one faces off against Shatara, Bookwright, Major Bloodstreak and the Enclave patrol leader
  220. [2013-12-25 16:45:57] * CopyCat sinks to her knees as the ice takes hold. "Though quarrels arise, their numbers are few, Laughter and singing will see us... through..."
  221. [2013-12-25 16:46:09] * Bookwright smiles sweetly at the windego. "Aren't you just the sweetest little ice monster?"
  222. [2013-12-25 16:48:41] * Noble_Heart moves to shelter Get Lost as best she could.
  223. [2013-12-25 16:49:08] * CopyCat reaches out to her friends through the Bonds she had with each of them, sharing the song she felt inside her heart.
  224. [2013-12-25 16:49:12] * Noble_Heart waved a wing to Tripwire as well. Though she did not have high hopes to cooperation from the pegasus.
  225. [2013-12-25 16:49:14] * Golden_Dream frowns, then seems pained as she goes for her rope. With some effort and some knotting, she attempts to pull Star Dust out of the snow and comes face to face with one of the Windigoes. Oh, hi.
  226. [2013-12-25 16:51:12] <Little_Gloom> 3Star Dust struggles in the snow. "Help!"
  227. [2013-12-25 16:52:58] <Little_Gloom> 3Tripwire stares at the wing offered as if it was a foreign thing. Then flinches back as the windigo lands between him and Noble_Heart.
  228. [2013-12-25 16:53:52] * CopyCat tries her best to support Golden_Dream's effort to free Star Dust from the snow when the enclave pony calls for help. Her song continues all the while.
  229. [2013-12-25 16:54:06] <Little_Gloom> 3The seond windigo stalks towards Golden_Dream, feeding on all the hate and negative feelings pouring off the mare.
  230. [2013-12-25 16:54:54] <Little_Gloom> 3The last rounds on Get_Lost, seeking to squelsh whatever warmth is left in her heart.
  231. [2013-12-25 16:56:02] * Get_Lost mutters few desperate words "mom... why you abandoned me..."
  232. [2013-12-25 16:56:38] * Noble_Heart looks through the Windigo and frowns. "Do not be afraid. We understand that you do not trust Us. We do not blame you, nor do We ask that you do. But We will still say that We would not fight a pony without reason." Looking back towards Get Lost and crouching down to wrap a wing around her. "You have not been abandoned. We are here. Friends are near, in the darkest times.
  233. [2013-12-25 16:56:39] * Noble_Heart That is what friends do."
  234. [2013-12-25 17:00:47] * CopyCat stands besides Golden_Dream, magically pulling the rope with her, still singing all the while.
  235. [2013-12-25 17:01:17] * Get_Lost still, she mae a promise. nopony dies under her shift. there are pegasi to save. she'll have plenty of time to die later. now, ponies need help. the mare tries singing again this new song, an old song from old memories... she's out of time and clenching her teeth, still, she sings
  236. [2013-12-25 17:02:28] * Get_Lost "a-as l-l-long as it b-b-burns, we can- cannot d-d-drif apart..."
  237. [2013-12-25 17:03:09] * Shatara finds the words crossing his beak from deep in his heart with perfect precision, despite not having heard the song but in broken snippets as a cub.
  238. [2013-12-25 17:04:25] * Noble_Heart settles beside Get Lost, singing along with her.
  239. [2013-12-25 17:04:30] * Shatara only wishfuly thinks this, in fact his words are garbled and mumbled.
  240. [2013-12-25 17:06:58] <Little_Gloom> 3Between the aid of friends fighting nearby and the strength of their souls, both Get_Lost and Golden_Dream are able to push back against the hatred and self-loathing that the windigos seek to magnify. One-by-one, the ponies and griffin fight to sing... not just with their words but with their hearts. A carol in the cold and the darkness.
  241. [2013-12-25 17:07:42] * Golden_Dream looks into the eyes of the wild ghost, feeling her strength start to fail her. She felt her anger, her hate, her sorrow, it flowed and flared through her. She looked into it's eyes and saw all the times she's been beaten, abused, battered, emotionally and physically broken. Every time she's been sniped at by her father's friends, every time she's been cracked over the skull, every time she's...
  242. [2013-12-25 17:07:44] * Golden_Dream ...been left alone because of something she couldn't be. And she realized those hateful eyes, they weren't something that belonged to someone else. They were twisted mirrors, showing her how she as a pony was wrong... And she realized that all that, she didn't want to let that become all she was. So she grit her teeth, she gave it a determined look right back, and pulled as hard as she could...
  243. [2013-12-25 17:07:45] * Golden_Dream ...towards the spirit, rope in teeth.
  244. [2013-12-25 17:08:46] <Little_Gloom> 3The song does not come easily. But surprisingly, the Enclave pegasi begin to pick up the song, belting it forth. Only Major Tripwire seems unwilling to try this. Instead, he opts for a different approach.
  245. [2013-12-25 17:10:41] <Little_Gloom> 3"Leave them alone!" he shouts, firing off a volley of grenades at the spirit. The grenades pass through harmlessly, flying over the side of the tower and into the darkness below. "You fuckers want someone to eat?" he yells as the grenades explode. "Come get me!" With that, he turns and flies in the opposite direction of the wagon.
  246. [2013-12-25 17:10:49] * Golden_Dream yanked once. I am not broken. Another time. I am not the things I lack. Once more. I am not the injuries I've taken. Once more, aiming to stare the damn spirit down. I am me. I am a friend. I am going to be a good pony. Even if it sucks.
  247. [2013-12-25 17:12:48] <Little_Gloom> 3The wounded windigo, its behavior slightly feral, takes off after Major Tripwire with a scream. The other two, however, continue to bare down on the pegasi and ponies here. The one who had been focused on Golden_Dream turns away, now focusing on CopyCat. The other turns against Major Bloodstreak.
  248. [2013-12-25 17:14:17] * Noble_Heart looks up in shock as Tripwire flies away. She looks back to Get Lost, nuzzling her cheek. "We need to go. There is a pony who still needs help." She stood and spread her wings, chasing after the windigo and Tripwire. It was not pleasant to potentially abandon her friends. But abandoning a pony who genuinely needed help, even if they were once her enemy? It was something
  249. [2013-12-25 17:14:18] * Noble_Heart she couldn't easily do. She would have to trust her friends were strong enough without her.
  250. [2013-12-25 17:15:01] * Golden_Dream looks at the Celestia look-alike. CopyCat. I've got your back. Be strong. Please.
  251. [2013-12-25 17:15:32] * CopyCat stares the windigo down with the indignation of a goddess.
  252. [2013-12-25 17:15:56] * Bookwright sings lustily
  253. [2013-12-25 17:16:17] * Get_Lost "not so easily!" the mare tries grabbing the spirit chasing tripwire
  254. [2013-12-25 17:16:51] <Little_Gloom> 3Get_Lost finds nothing solid to grab onto.
  255. [2013-12-25 17:17:16] * Get_Lost chases after the spirit "nopony dies under my shift, i said!"
  256. [2013-12-25 17:17:31] * Shatara , free from the interference of the wounded windigo, dives onto CopyCat's back and firmly embraces.
  257. [2013-12-25 17:24:31] * Get_Lost while running looks for any anti-freeze in ehr doctor bags and sets her phoenix implant to max power
  258. [2013-12-25 17:25:25] * CopyCat sings into the Windigo's face. "We are a circle of pony friends, A circle of friends we'll be to the very end!"
  259. [2013-12-25 17:30:56] <Little_Gloom> 3The spirit chasing Tripwire rounds on the source of defiance, spotting Get_Lost... only to find itself facing down Noble_Heart too.
  260. [2013-12-25 17:32:08] * Get_Lost smiles at Noble_Heart and ohhers her a hoof to high five
  261. [2013-12-25 17:32:26] * Get_Lost "epic... bro-hoof"
  262. [2013-12-25 17:33:17] * Noble_Heart clacks forehooves with Get Lost. "We would not abandon someone to die alone in the cold and the dark!"
  263. [2013-12-25 17:34:28] * Get_Lost discharges the phenix implant once just to have the hoves make a halo of light when they collide
  264. [2013-12-25 17:35:02] * Get_Lost then turns towards the spirit, smiling "levave our friends alone, okay?"
  265. [2013-12-25 17:36:08] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream succeeds in hauling the pegasus mare up out of the snow-hole. A moment later, she is standing next to the small mare, her normally shy voice belting out the song. "The fire of friendship lives in our hearts!"
  266. [2013-12-25 17:37:40] * CopyCat smiles and wraps her wings around both of the young mares beside her. Shatara's warmth on her back is reassuring, too.
  267. [2013-12-25 17:38:51] * Bookwright is still singing, off key.
  268. [2013-12-25 17:39:36] <Little_Gloom> 3The windigo facing Noble_Heart and Get_Lost whinnies in cold fury.
  269. [2013-12-25 17:40:11] * Get_Lost shrugs "oh c'mon dont' be mad!... here, have a sparkle cola" offers a dring at the windigo
  270. [2013-12-25 17:40:17] <Get_Lost> *drink
  271. [2013-12-25 17:41:25] * CopyCat sings along with Star Dust, "As long as it burns we cannot drift apart,"
  272. [2013-12-25 17:42:35] * Golden_Dream blinks and turns around. The shit? Her pipbuck seemed to hum to the melody. Oh, for shit's sake.
  273. [2013-12-25 17:44:40] <Little_Gloom> 3The Enclave patrol leader sings out, "...though quarrels arise, their numbers are few..."
  274. [2013-12-25 17:47:24] <Little_Gloom> 3The already wounded windigo recoils from the offer of the Sparkle~Cola as if it was fire. Unable to bear it, the monstrous spirit tears off into the night, trying to get as far away from ponies as possible.
  275. [2013-12-25 17:48:14] * Get_Lost points a hoof at the running spirit "good choice, pal...." then turns to Noble_Heart "so, we go and check on the poor guy?"
  276. [2013-12-25 17:48:57] * Noble_Heart nods her head. "Yes. It is important." She stands and moves towards where Tripwire should be.
  277. [2013-12-25 17:49:16] * Get_Lost "nods and follows the alicorn"
  278. [2013-12-25 17:50:08] <Little_Gloom> 3The concerted good spirits of the rest of the caravan friends and the pegasi soon drive off the wounded windigo's sisters, denying them their prey. The two pegasi huddled together against the wagon whimper thanks through chattering teeth.
  279. [2013-12-25 17:50:52] <Little_Gloom> 3"...laughter and singing will see us through!..."
  280. [2013-12-25 17:53:12] * Get_Lost uses her night vision to find the major "MAJOR! WHERE ARE YOU!"
  281. [2013-12-25 17:55:01] * CopyCat smiles serenely at the two huddled pegasi and finishes the song with them. "We are a circle of pony friends, A circle of friends we'll be to the very end~"
  282. [2013-12-25 17:56:06] * Bookwright echos "-to the very end!"
  283. [2013-12-25 17:56:41] * Golden_Dream just kinda twirls her hoof around. She was good at getting angry and telling folks her feelings, not singing.
  284. [2013-12-25 17:56:45] * Noble_Heart moves through the snow and darkness, lighting up her horn to look for Tripwire. He might not want their help, but she wasn't the sort to abandon ponies in need.
  285. [2013-12-25 17:57:10] * Shatara flumps against CopyCat's back and snores, adrenalin receeding with the windigoes gone, and distrust of the enclavers forgotten for the moment.
  286. [2013-12-25 17:57:55] * Get_Lost walks side by side with Noble_Heart, looking for the lost pony too
  287. [2013-12-25 18:00:35] <Little_Gloom> 3Get_Lost's night vision scans the darkness, looking for any sign of Major Tripwire.
  288. [2013-12-25 18:01:51] <Little_Gloom> 3Meanwhile, the Enclave patrol leader orders blankets and mugs of hot drink for the two besieged pegasi, stopping only to commend them on holding out against the foul spirits.
  289. [2013-12-25 18:03:14] * CopyCat wing-hugs the two shivering pegasi. "You were both very brave."
  290. [2013-12-25 18:04:15] <Little_Gloom> 3She turns to CopyCat. "Lieutenant Colonel Snowdrift. And what name should I call you by? Not, I presume, 'Celestia'."
  291. [2013-12-25 18:04:44] * Golden_Dream grumps and sits down. She didn't really know what to make of herself now. Was this that one thing she heard of where a captive grows to like her captors if they're really mean and then stop being mean? This is bullshit. Her head started to ache.
  292. [2013-12-25 18:06:33] * CopyCat nods. "Tia will do fine. Although most ponies call me CopyCat."
  293. [2013-12-25 18:08:02] * Bookwright shrugs. "Sometimes she's herself, but mostly she's other ponies."
  294. [2013-12-25 18:09:06] <Little_Gloom> 3"I... see."
  295. [2013-12-25 18:09:18] <Little_Gloom> 3--- End of Session --
