Piss Poor Group Session 39

[18:12] * Mad_Modd  they survived the encounter with the pirates... just. Both vessels are sinking from the insane last ditch ram... many are injured...
[18:13] * Elektron surveys the damage, looking at his hind leg every few seconds
[18:14] * Ragebrew groaned as she heard water begin to glup into the hull. "No idea how long till we sink. Grab whatever ya can that'll be worth something. Midnight, hope yer horns still shiny, we'll need a teleport to shore. Ya'll don't want to swim in that..."
[18:15] * Ragebrew rushed off with that, gathering up the wounded Captain and Spork, setting them down before rushing out before deck "CHECKERS! CHECKERS IT'S TIME TO DITCH THE SHIP!"
[18:16] * Spectre is le unconcious... Magnifique!
[18:17] * Mad_Modd  Mrs. Checkers is gone, the big hole in the side telling that she has already abandoned ship...
[18:17] * Elektron nods, looking around for anything of value "Where do they keep stuff on these ships?"
[18:19] * Ragebrew groaned as he looked at the hole. "Sisters watch over ya..." She rushed to and fro the ship, gathering everything of possible use, raiding everything that wasn't strapped down, before bursting back onto the deck.
[18:21] * Dawn_Breaker is now known as Iron_Lancer
[18:22] * Elektron looks around a bit before realizing "Hey, has anypony seen the robot?"
[18:22] * Ragebrew looked at the pair of huge fucking guns on the bow of the ship. "I WANT THOSE! ELEKTRON! MAKEY WITH THE DISMANTLE!"
[18:22] * Midnight_Hour growls, goes below deck to gather her things, and then returns. "Hurry up everypony. I'll teleport everypony, but I'll have to make two trips."
[18:23] * Ragebrew looked to Midnight_Hour "Wounded first!" She pointed to Spectre, The Cap'n, and Spork. "Get us in the next run!" She looked at Elektron "Sorry, PAL when into the drink Elektron, NOW GET ME THOSE FUCKING GUNS!"
[18:23] * Mad_Modd  sadly the good captain is dead, killed from head trauma of getting hit in the head by a pirate...
[18:24] * Shady_Steps is now known as Shadow_Steps
[18:24] * Ragebrew muttered something about being a bad day to wear red, and stripped the captain of useful bits.
[18:25] * Midnight_Hour nods before teleporting Spectre, Spork, and Merciful_Devotion to the shore before returning a few minutes later. "They're on shore. I think I only have the strength to take 2 more ponies.
[18:26] * Elektron 's ears droop "What, really? Damn it... why did it have to stay near the water?" he mutters before looking at the gun for Rage "You umm... want me to take that apart?"
[18:27] * Ragebrew was cramming everything she could carry, and then some, into and onto her ammo cases. "Just the guns and ammo! No questioning, more ratcheting!"
[18:28] * Elektron nods before attempting to do Rage asked
[18:30] * Jackelmandingo ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[18:34] * Ragebrew had, balanced on her head, a right proper tower of smut. Magazines, movies, books, POP UP books, even porn in brial, all balanced on top of her head as she hopped from hoof to hoof, watching the water level get closer "Hurry hurry hurry, no time like the present!"
[18:35] * Midnight_Hour scowls. "Yeah, come on. Let's get going."
[18:36] * Mad_Modd  Elektron gets one MG free but the other is stuck, he also manages to grab two cans of ammo for it...
[18:37] * Elektron pants "There, I got it. Its /really/ heavy though, will you still be able to manage the weight Midnight?"
[18:37] <+Ragebrew> "Lets find out! Midnight! Make with the shiny!"
[18:40] * Midnight_Hour focuses her horn and teleports the group back to shore with everypony else. Midnight blinks a few times and staggers. "I need another nap..."
[18:42] * Ragebrew blinked, now doing a head stand on her tower of smut, which balanced carefully on the ground. "Wrong way wrong way wrong waaay!" THUD. She landed hard, sticking out of the sandy shore, legs wiggling in the air. She was swearing up a storm,although it was muffled by sand
[18:44] * Mad_Modd  the group is whole once again, Midnight_Hour has teliported them the Western shore...
[18:45] * Ragebrew pulled herself from the ground with a POP and a sputter. How did her hat not come off? She looked to the others. "Right. Looks like we're hoofing it the rest of the way...."
[18:46] * Elektron shakes himself off "Thanks Midnight" he says, taking another look at the cut "Rage, it feels... tingly..."
[18:47] * Iron_Lancer a loud tenor voice rings out over the group.  "What in the Sorrell hells are you all doing?  Don't you know not to telemawatsit into existance right overtop of a Hunter's camp?"
[18:47] * Elektron blinks, looking at the source of the voice
[18:48] * Ragebrew looked to Elektron, then perked her ears up at the voice. She groaned and facehooved. "Not even five fucking minutes..."
[18:49] * Iron_Lancer looks back at Elektron.  He's a dapple grey earth pony with a flannel shirt and a faded blue baseball cap.  He has a large lever action rifle in his mouth.  "Tarnation, dumbass kids.  I thought you were a cragodile.  Nearly shot off the lady with the very... strange hat?"
[18:50] <+Ragebrew> "It's porn. A fuckton of porn." She was already working on cramming it into her saddle bags.
[18:51] * Elektron focuses on the gun being pointed at them, gulping "We're not... and you are?"
[18:52] * Ragebrew paused for a moment, and smacked the saddle bags. They made a sheepish yelp and turned back into proper ammo cases. "Better."
[18:52] * Iron_Lancer snerks.  "Sweetheart, that ain't a fuckton of porn.  A fuckton is what you get when you spend seven sweet nights with a succubus.  And lots of chaffing.  Now what the hell are you all doing here?  This ain't exactly the friendliest parts.  With the giant lice and cragodiles and all."
[18:54] * Iron_Lancer points down to the injured pony.  "What's that thing's story?  Regardless, looks like your friend is hurt.  C'mon back to my camp."
[18:54] * Ragebrew abruptly stopped her packing, looking at the buck. "Giant... Lice...." She looked up to the sky, pointing a hoof at it. "REALLY?!"
[18:55] <+Ragebrew> "And that's not a fuckton, that's getting fucked a ton."
[18:56] * Elektron looks to Ragebrew "Should we go there?"
[18:57] * Iron_Lancer shakes his head.  "That girl ain't right in the head."  He gives Ragebrew a level look.  "Name's Iron Lancer.  Let's get your friend looked at.  And yes, giant lice."
[18:57] * Ragebrew groaned as she stood up from packing. Even she was weighed down by everything she had picked up. "Unless ya wanna find somewhere safer..." She looked to Spork and Spectre. "Someone haul them, I can barely walk with all this...."
[18:58] * Midnight_Hour glares at the new pony. "Keep the giant lice away from me and we'll be golden."
[18:58] * Ragebrew looked to Iron_Lancer "Not in the slightest. And I wasn't originally a girl either. Long story, campfire over dinner if ya care."
[18:59] * Elektron goes over and tries to pick up Spectre
[19:01] * Mad_Modd  Elektron is not strong enough to pick up the batpony
[19:02] * Ragebrew looked to Midnight_Hour and Merci "Come on ladies, I can't carry all of this. Merci, help Elektron, Midnight, ya got enough juice to carry Spork with magic?"
[19:02] * Midnight_Hour shakes her head. "I'm running on fumes after teleporting all of you."
[19:02] * Merciful_Devotion nods and heads over to help Elektron
[19:02] * Elektron pants, trying to lift him up before stepping back "I can't lift him by myself."
[19:02] * Iron_Lancer blinks, the shakes his head.  "Right.  ANd I thought I'd seen everything."  He watches as Elektron fails to pick up Spectre.  "Idjits.  Let me..."  He spits the rifle into a hip mounted holster and trots over to Spectre.  He splashes the batpony with some water from a silver flask before picking him up.  "Alright.  Seems normal enough."
[19:03] * Ragebrew shrugged at that. "Just a batpony. Rare kind, tribal sort. Weird habits, but a nice enough lad."
[19:04] * Ragebrew looked at the three. "Then get Spork, Iron's got Spectre." With that, she started the slow trudge after the pony, groaning slightly with each step.
[19:05] * Elektron nods and trots to Sport, waiting for Mercy to help
[19:05] <+Elektron> Spork*
[19:06] * Iron_Lancer The earth pony lifts Spectre with ease.  "Hmm, lighter than I thought, but not as light as a pegasus.  What are you all doing out here anyway?  Ain't you got nicer, slightly less dangerous spects of wasteland to explore?"
[19:08] * Ragebrew pointed to the river "We were heading up stream to a power plant, looking to make some caps while stopping demon worshippering Steel Rangers, another long story, from restoring power to a broken MAS facility, which I believe has a portal to Tartarus in it. That, or some bound demon thing. Whatever. Got hit by pirates."
[19:08] * Midnight_Hour rolls her eyes. "Now that you say it out loud, it sounds so sane, doesn't it?"
[19:09] * Ragebrew looked to Midnight_Hour "Ya know, if I wasn't wearing the stonehoof of a demonpony, I'd think I was high as a fucking kite."
[19:10] * Merciful_Devotion trots over to help Elektron with Spork
[19:10] * Iron_Lancer raises an eyebrow to the point that it looks like it might come off his head.  "Well shit sonny... sweetie?  Which princess did you piss off?  Cadence?  It was probably Cadence."  He trots up the bank, revealing a small camp.  "And I thought I held a capital degree in crazy for spending time round these parts."
[19:12] * Ragebrew stopped for a moment and blinked. She pushed her sunglasses to her eyes a bit more, sniffing. "And no one here remembers that..." She sighed, looking at the camp. "I've pissed off a lotta ponies and other assorted sentient beings."
[19:15] * Mad_Modd  Spectre is apparently to fat for even the combined efforts of Elektron and Merciful_Devotion to move
[19:15] <&Mad_Modd> Spork*
[19:17] * Elektron pants a bit more "Can anypony else help? He's kind of heavy..."
[19:18] * Iron_Lancer gently deposits Spectre onto a small cot.  "Your bat pony friend doesn't seem to be in a good way."  He says, looking concerned at the colt.  "Pirates and cults.  Can't say I've seen much of either out here.  Mostly just cragodiles, giant lice, giant rats, giant moles... few assholes with guns."
[19:20] * Ragebrew nodded as she stepped into the cot, unclipping her ammo cases and letting them fall with a resounding CLANG. "Cults just a guess, but the little voices in my head are rarely wrong about this sorta thing." She looked back, groaning as the others were still to catch up. "Oh for the love of..." She looked at the buck and her ammo cases, and shrugged. "Ya seem nice. Don't prove me wrong." She trotted back to the others, looked a
[19:20] <+Ragebrew> "Ya seem nice. Don't prove me wrong." She trotted back to the others, looked at Spork, and picked up him with one hoof, resting him on her back. Built earth pony strong.
[19:21] <+Ragebrew> "Ya'll need to work out more." She looked at the trio of ponies with a slight grin, before trotting back to the camp.
[19:22] * Mad_Modd  Ragebrew picks him up easily
[19:22] * Iron_Lancer places some leaves in his mouth and chews before spitting them back out and placing them on the bat pony's chest.  He wraps a few bandages around Spectre's barrel, all while muttering things about 'idjit adventurers who don't heal their party mates.'
[19:22] * Elektron follows Ragebrew back, mildly surprised by his strength
[19:25] * Ragebrew looked at Merci who still had a limp. "Hold still." She crouched down to the mare, and... twisted her leg once into the right direction, before lathering her leg throughly in healing potion. "There."
[19:25] * Merciful_Devotion cries out at the sudden twist. "FUCK!"
[19:26] * Elektron winces as her leg is suddenly twisted
[19:26] <+Ragebrew> "Once of these days, I'll find some novacaine, promise." She stood back up, trotting back into the cot and sitting down with a thud.
[19:26] * Iron_Lancer looks a bit impressed at Ragebrew.  "I tell you what lady friend, you're my kind of crazy."
[19:26] * Mad_Modd  Mercy meeps then goes limp, falling over
[19:27] * Ragebrew looked at Iron_Lancer "It's cause yer a fucked in the head wastelander like... me..." Ever thankful for red fur, she set Spork down on the ground and picked Merci up, carrying her to the bed and laying her down.
[19:29] * Iron_Lancer shakes his head.  "Though, back in my day, we used to try to get them drunk before we did that.  Moron doesn't know how to medic properly.  Not everypony can walk for 10 days with a bear trap around their testicles..."  He pulls out a doctor's bag and thwaps Ragebrew on the back of the head with it, muttering 'idjit.'
[19:30] * Ragebrew looked at the pony for a moment. "And I don't have supplies to do that. I burn through meds faster than a fire through brush with this lot."
[19:31] * Elektron sits down, letting Ragebrew do her thing
[19:31] * Iron_Lancer looks Ragebrew in the eye.  "Then tell them to stop getting shot."  He says, humphing and pulling out a splint for Merci's leg
[19:32] * Ragebrew pulled the buck away. "She's fine. Potion worked through, her leg'll be fine." She pointed to Spectre. "He needs that more. Lemme, I already got to work on him earlier. Was kinda rushed when I did it, what with the boat sinking and all."
[19:35] * Ragebrew snatched up the medical bag, and quickly went to work on trying, hopefully, to fix the twisted remains of Spectre's chest. "If ya got any Rad-away, I'll pay for it. He took a long dip in that river."
[19:35] * Iron_Lancer puts his hoof up and passes the bag to her.  "Put some willow leaves on him already.  Natural painkiller and antiseptic, those.  But please, be my guest."
[19:37] * Iron_Lancer flips open a footlocker.  "You want the drinkable kind or the IV?  I got both.  I'll warn you.  The drinkable ones taste like rotten grapefruit.  Or what happens when trees throw up."
[19:38] * Ragebrew shrugged "Which ever. " Her face was covered in the batpony's blood as she worked.  It was very hard to be a surgeon without hands, or magic, but damnit she did her best.
[19:39] * Iron_Lancer hoofs an IV.  "I can help if you'd like.  Just didn't know hwat you'd done to him already."
[19:39] * Mad_Modd  she dose a well enough job, the stallion will probably never be right again, but he can function and mite even wake soon...
[19:40] * Ragebrew spat out a bone shard as she sealed up the batpony. "His heart took a couple BBs, and his lungs got torn up... Nothing I could do with what I got." She looked at her ammo cases. "Gonna need some sturdy bits...."
[19:41] * Ragebrew looked over at Spork, checking on the stoic pony. "I coulda worked at a clinic..."
[19:41] * Iron_Lancer shakes his head.  "From what it sounds like, what you need is prayer."  He smirks.  "To somepony who'll actually listen, that is."
[19:43] * Ragebrew shook her head with a grin. "I need a better cook book, and good bits is what I need. Every pony's got a talent. Mine's doing what zebras do, but better." She smiled, coughing out a plume of green smoke a moment later as her stomach gurgled. "Side effects may include however...."
[19:45] * Ragebrew looked at Spork, and sighed. "Well, he ain't gonna be who he was before... Least he isn't dead." THUMP, she fell onto her side. "Nap." And out like a light.
[19:46] * Iron_Lancer nods undestandingly. "Sorta like good moonshiners.  I follow."  He looks about the rest of the group.  "So you do realise that the building you described is basically a deathtrap."  He says, stopping as Ragebrew passes out.  He turns his attentions to Midnight Hour and Elektron.  "She do that a lot?"
[19:46] * Midnight_Hour looks at Iron_Lancer blankly. "Yup. He's like that a lot..."
[19:46] * Elektron blinks, nodding "She's... weird like that."
[19:47] * Elektron sighs "I was hoping she could take a look at that cut though. It still feels... off."
[19:47] * Iron_Lancer looks at Elektron.  "What cut?"
[19:50] * Elektron sticks out his hindleg "One of the pirates attacked me with a sword, and apparently it had taint on it."
[19:51] * Iron_Lancer sighs and pulls out his canteen, splashing some sort of water on Elektron's leg.  It appears to sizzle a bit as it makes contact with the injury.  "Welp, that's taint alright.  I don't know how to tell you this, son, but you may have a pain in your ass for the rest of yoru life."
[19:52] * Spectre stirs on his cot, giving a hiss as the pain hits him... He was still rather groggy though
[19:53] * Iron_Lancer continues.  "And I ain't talking about sleepyhead over there.  Here."  The stallion pulls out some leaves from his saddlebags.  "Willow acts as a natural analgesic, so chew on these.  Just... keep it covered for a bit."
[19:54] * Elektron sighs, taking the leaves before looking over to Spectre "How are you feeling?"
[19:55] * Lostshot ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[19:55] <+Spectre> "Like absolute..." he coughs "I'm alive? Or is this hell?"
[19:56] * Iron_Lancer chuckles.  "Tartarus is a lot less fun, son."
[19:56] <+Elektron> "You lived, according to Ragebrew it was pretty close though."
[20:00] * Spectre winces "So... How did the-" coughs "The fight turn out... I was certain I would be seing Luna when i hit the water..."
[20:01] * Ragebrew grumbled in her sleep, something like 'come on, food ain't that bad..." As she had a slight coughing fit.
[20:02] <+Elektron> "They rammed our boat shortly after you went down. A few managed to board, but we got them all. The captain died, Spork is also in a bad way, and Checkers seems to have abandoned ship."
[20:04] * Ragebrew started twitching in her sleep, making slight pained sounds.
[20:05] * Midnight_Hour stares over her book grumpily. "I'm just glad to be off that horrid boat."
[20:05] * Elektron looks over at Ragebrew "Umm... do you have any idea whats going on?"
[20:06] * Spectre gives a nod "I tried to get off before impact so i wouldnt get thrown off into the water..." he laughs which turns into a painful cough "That was a success"
[20:06] * Iron_Lancer puts a hoof on Ragebrew's forehead.  "Demons of guilt haunting you too, eh?"
[20:07] * Ragebrew didn't open her eyes, just twitching and curling up, her hooves over her chest as she made another pained sound.
[20:08] * Merciful_Devotion groans and lifts her head. "Fuck... Me... With a rusty sword..."
[20:08] * Elektron "Hows the leg Mercy?"
[20:09] <+Merciful_Devotion> "Other than a lingering throb..." She wiggles it a little. "Seems good as new."
[20:09] * Spectre sighs and allows himself to drift off to sleep. Sugery+only getting a couple hours sleep has drained him
[20:09] * Merciful_Devotion ([email protected]) Quit ( Quit: Bye )
[20:10] * Merciful_Devotion ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
[20:10] * ChanServ sets mode +v Merciful_Devotion for #piss_poor_group
[20:10] * Elektron looks around "Everypony else seems to have gone to sleep, besides Midnight."
[20:10] * Iron_Lancer rolls his eyes.  "You're welcome for staying my camp..."  He says, shaking his head and looking around for something to eat.
[20:12] * Ragebrew shoot her eyes open with a scream, bolting upright and grasping at her chest, looking at it as she gasped for air. Finding nothing, she fell down onto her back, blinking a few times.
[20:13] * Merciful_Devotion blinks a little at Ragebrew. "You okay?"
[20:13] * Iron_Lancer splashes Ragebrew with his canteen.
[20:14] * Ragebrew lay there, blinking as she stared at the ceiling. "Right then.... They have their father's color, but not in the right pattern...."
[20:15] * Ragebrew sputtered at the water.
[20:16] * Iron_Lancer grimaces.  "Just had to make sure."
[20:18] * Ragebrew gave the buck a deadpan look, before groaning. "Right. Try the leg next time..." She pushed off the ground, looking at Spectre "Not dead? Good. Ya want a needle or the second worst thing ya'll ever drink?"
[20:18] * Spectre is asleep again. Too late
[20:19] * Merciful_Devotion giggles a bit. "Only second?"
[20:19] * Iron_Lancer looks at his canteen.  "Maybe need to purify the mixture a bit more."
[20:20] * Ragebrew looked to Merci "Worst thing'll ya'll ever drink it the drink that'll kill ya." She snorted. "Right then... Didn't get more than a day up the river, managed to get a good haul, our bat's broken, and I can't carry anything else..." She sighed. "And we're in deep wilds to boot."
[20:22] <+Merciful_Devotion> "Honestly Rage, I think the whole deep wilds thing isn't that big of a priority. It's not like The wastes are tame to begin with."
[20:22] * Elektron sticks his leg out "Rage, could you look at the gash now?" he says, biting his lip "I just really want to know whats going to happen..."
[20:23] * Ragebrew looked at Merci with a flat expression. "If ya've never been in the deep wilds, ya don't know why ya should be afraid of the deep wilds..." She looked at Elektron. "Nothing I can do for ya. Yer tainted. Ya didn't explode into cancer, so that's a plus. Give it a day. Only way to know what happened."
[20:24] <+Ragebrew> "If yer lucky, the horrible agonizing death will come in yer sleep."
[20:25] * Elektron sighs, laying down on his side "I guess we're staying here for a bit then?"
[20:25] * Iron_Lancer chimes in. "It looks like it isn't doing anything at all.  Or it'll probably end up helping him in some unknown way.  or it'll just be a pain in his ass for a while."
[20:25] * Ragebrew chuckled, and tugged on one of her braids "Yeah. Help." She pulled the string, and POMF, fwuffy pony.
[20:26] <+Ragebrew> "Midnight's drained, Spork's out of it, Spectre's out... Yeah, we're crashing. What do ya want for the IV rad-away? I'll link an IV to Spectre."
[20:27] * Iron_Lancer jumps backwards.  "What in the Sorrell Hells?  How in the?  Goddesses girl, how did you get so much pelt?"
[20:28] * Merciful_Devotion giggles. "Easy there, does it even really matter?"
[20:29] <+Ragebrew> "I got tainted gathering enough rad-bee wax to help pay the medical bill of a dying foal." She flicked out a cigarette, chewing on it.  "Good trade, although I am curious what Cutter's been up to."
[20:31] * Iron_Lancer smirks.  "I say it again.  I like you.  You're my kind of crazy."
[20:32] <+Merciful_Devotion> "Hey, she's not the only crazy one. We've
[20:32] <+Merciful_Devotion> *all decided to /follow/ her!"
[20:32] * Ragebrew chuckled. "Stay around me long enough, ya'll find a reason to hate me." She looked at Midnight for a moment before curling up again. "Plans, foals?" She looked to Midnight, Merci, and Elektron.
[20:33] * Midnight_Hour lays out a blanket and lays down. "I'm getting sleep.
[20:33] * Elektron looks around  before shrugging "Guess I'll just wait."
[20:33] * Merciful_Devotion rolls her eyes. "I'm no foal Rage, I figured you knew that after the other night." She giggles
[20:35] * Iron_Lancer blinks.  "Ahem.  Rage.  You talked about a factory earlier.  I don't know about cults or anything, but I do know that the facility around here is a virtual deathtrap.  Robots, automated turrets... you know, the routine saturday for you, probably."
[20:36] * Ragebrew chuckled. "Yer still younger than me. Plus, party mom, I get to say stuff like that." She nodded to the others, looking to Iron_Lancer "Had our share of bot run-ins. Got some stuff to help with 'em. Death trap it may be, wouldn't be the first one we've stepped into and trotted out of with a fat haul."
[20:37] * Iron_Lancer waves a hoof.  "Like I said, routine saturday."
[20:37] * Ragebrew shrugged. "Figure it's a part of the work week. I'd never do this kinda stuff for fun. Well... Maybe, but only because the little voices like trying to kill me, and I like defying them."
[20:38] * Merciful_Devotion rolls her eyes again.
[20:38] * Iron_Lancer starts sketching in the soil.  "The place you're looking for is a good 2 day trot from here.  I'm telling you though, I don't know about any cults.  Believe me, I'd know."
[20:38] <+Ragebrew> "Spectre spotted 'em after we took the job. Figure they are focusing towards the south, where the hub is. Sending grunts to do their dirty work, save their strength for the MAS hub."
[20:39] <+Ragebrew> "One day of rest, then we'll be off. We ain't leaving till Merci is charged and Spectre isn't playing ding dong ditch with Grim's front door."
[20:39] <+Ragebrew> "Errr. Midnight. My mistake."
[20:40] <+Merciful_Devotion> "Was about to say Rage..."
[20:40] * Elektron nods, looking at his leg again
[20:40] * Iron_Lancer pokes Elektron.  "Stop poking it.  You'll go blind."
[20:41] <+Ragebrew> "Don't pick at it, or it'll never heal." She scolded Elektron before looking to Iron_Lancer.
[20:41] <+Ragebrew> "Bout that Rad-Away, what ya want for it?"
[20:41] * Iron_Lancer waves a hoof.  "Don't worry about it."
[20:42] * Ragebrew blinked a few times. "Right then, I'm making yer meals while we're here. Not gonna let a nice pony get away scott free."
[20:42] * Ragebrew curled up at that, closing her eyes. "Been one hell of a day...." And drifted off to sleep.
[20:43] * Merciful_Devotion rolls onto her back and pulls out that book Rage let her borrow, grinning.
[20:45] * Elektron rolls onto his stomach and lays down. Not to sleep though, no way he could sleep with that cut bugging him
[20:46] * Mad_Modd  and the fact it's maybe two in the afternoon...
[20:46] * Iron_Lancer looks at Ragebrew, nodding his head toward Elektron.  "Kids bothered by the cut.  Gave him some willow to chew on, but you don't happen to have something to keep his mind off it?  Book?  Math problem?  Seems like the nerdy type."  He whispers.
[20:47] * Merciful_Devotion giggles. "I may have /one/ way to distract him..."
[20:47] * Ragebrew shifted around, just a ball of fwuff moving about for a moment, before FLING, a book launched out, smacking Elektron in the nose. "Angel Bunny's Self Defense Master Class"
[20:49] * Elektron rubs his nose before looking at the book "I guess I'll take a look, doesn't seem like my kind of book though."
[20:50] * Mad_Modd  the next day comes almost without incident, Ragebrew catches Spectre rooting through her pack early in the morning.....
[20:50] * Ragebrew opened one eye, looking at Spectre with a flat expression. "Need something?"
[20:51] * Spectre blinks a few times, "That stuff you gave me on the boat..." he mutters "You have more right?" he asks, some desperation in his voice
[20:53] * Ragebrew looked at the batpony for a moment, and flicked out a penlight from somewhere. A quick once over on his eyes, and then sighed. "Well, fuck me running, happened to ya too? Told ya that shit packed a punch. No. I don't. Don't have the fixings for it either."
[20:54] <+Ragebrew> "And if ya try to make it yerself, figure that's asking for a heart attack."
[20:55] * Spectre winces "I thought... Might help with the pain..." he replies "So weak..." his ears flatten and he limps back to his cot
[20:55] * Merciful_Devotion snores rather loudly, the naughty book covering her face
[20:55] * Ragebrew shook her head "Only make it worse. Yer addicted to that. Yer gonna feel like shit will we can either get ya hooked up to a detoxer, or find ya a good stash of fixer will it works its way out of ya."
[20:56] * Elektron yawns, waking up with a stretch
[20:56] * Ragebrew looked over at Merci, and she chuckled. Then realized just what a snoring, drooling mare could do to a priceless book, and snatched it from her muzzle.
[20:58] * Spectre settles down on the cot, curling into a ball of batpony
[20:58] * Ragebrew pulled out her portable kitchen. Breakfast was cactus fruit and apple salad with a side of hashbrowns.
[20:59] * Elektron rubs the back of head "Are we heading out today? Or are some of us still down?"
[20:59] * Ragebrew clicked her tongue as she eyed her food bag and herbs. "The end of all good plans... Not enough bits..." She looked over at Midnight_Hour's tent "Depends on if the princess is recharged."
[21:01] * Midnight_Hour emerges from her tent with her mane combed and styles and her clothes cleaned, looking better then she had in days. "Hello all."
[21:03] * Ragebrew looked over at Midnight_Hour, opening her mouth for a moment before clamping it shut and pushing a plate of food over to the mare. "Morning."
[21:05] * Iron_Lancer waves a hoof to the party.  "Welp, I've got a 'dile with my name on it to kill.  I'll see you ponies around.  Try to not make a mess."  He says before trotting off into the mists.
[21:06] * Shadow_Steps is now known as Shady_Steps
[21:06] * Elektron waves goodbye "Thanks for everything"
[21:07] * Ragebrew tipped her hat to the buck. "Safe travels. Thank ya for helping us."
[21:08] * Spectre reluctantly steps outside wearing his sunglasses and hat "Hes the one who helped? I thank you then... May Luna watch over you when you sleep" he says
[21:08] * Merciful_Devotion snorts and lifts her head. "Huh? What happened?"
[21:09] * Ragebrew pushed a plate of food at Merci "Eat up, we're heading out."
[21:09] * Merciful_Devotion rolls over and starts munching. "Mmm... Sorry about sleeping in, Rage."
[21:10] * Ragebrew shrugged. "I wake up earlier."
[21:13] * Mad_Modd  the group set off West! And almost immediately walk face first into some kind of..... invisible wall.....
[21:14] * Elektron takes a closer look at the wall, tapping a hoof on it
[21:14] * Ragebrew is at the lead, as normal, and she hit the wall with a pained grunt. She stopped in her tracks, set her hoove on thin air... And pushed away with a loud strain. Her face seemed stuck to the wall, and stretched. With a pop, it snapped off and she went tumbling back
[21:16] * Spectre stares at Rage for a moment, then at where the wall seemed to be "TWell this looks promising" he mutters sarcastically
[21:17] * Midnight_Hour looks up from her book, nearing the end of the Wasteland Survival Guide. "What in the hell?" Midnight says as she looks over the invisible wall.
[21:18] * Merciful_Devotion skids to a halt. "Whoa..."
[21:18] * Ragebrew pulled herself off the ground. "It's lazy level designers not wanting their open world to be so open." She tapped on the wall for a moment.
[21:18] * Midnight_Hour has the strangest thought go through her brain before it feels like her brain popped and she passes out.
[21:18] * Ragebrew looked at Midnight_Hour "Oh what the hell mare?" She zipped over to Midnight, looking her over.
[21:19] * Spectre pulls out his grenade rifle and looks around "Whats wrong with her?"
[21:20] * Midnight_Hour looks at the sky in a daze. "It doesn't make sense. It... I... Who? Quark? But no cheese. What?"
[21:20] <+Merciful_Devotion> "Quark?"
[21:20] * Ragebrew blinked at that. "Right, touching the shitty level design with yer brain fried it a little. And Quark ya say? Great. Like my head didn't hurt enough."
[21:21] * Iron_Lancer A small sign appears.  It reads.  "In shower.  Not my fault."
[21:21] * Elektron blinks "Can we just move on?
[21:21] <+Elektron> "
[21:21] * Ragebrew blinked at that. "Fuck me with a rake, their multiplying." She looked at Midnight "Ya able to walk, or do I need to haul ya as well?"
[21:22] * Spectre is so lost...
[21:22] * Ragebrew looked at Spectre "Ya'll meet 'em soon enough if ya stay around me, I'm sure. Nice enough guy, for a total prick."
[21:23] <+Spectre> "Some sort of mad unicorn im guessing?"
[21:23] <+Ragebrew> "Part unicorn, yes. And a whole lot of other parts too."
[21:24] * Iron_Lancer Another sign appears.  It reads.  "That's racist."
[21:24] <+Spectre> "Im not even going to ask.."
[21:25] <+Spectre> "Now then... INvisible wall... Did it hurt to touch?"
[21:25] * Merciful_Devotion staggers and holds her head with a slight groan of pain
[21:25] * Elektron shakes his head "Best you don't know... lets just get out of here."
[21:25] * Midnight_Hour struggles to her hooves. "I-um, wha... It doesn't make sense."
[21:26] <+Ragebrew> "Again, ya'll find out soon enough...." She looked at Merci "Oh for the love of. Midnight, on yer hooves mare. We can't stay around glitches for too long, it'll corrupt our save files."
[21:26] * Ragebrew bodily grabbed the mare, lifted her up, and began pushing her away from the glitch. "Explain it later, not here."
[21:27] * Merciful_Devotion stumbles after Rage without a word, simply muttering under her breath
[21:29] * Elektron follows Mercy
[21:29] * Midnight_Hour follows, slowly at first, but the logic of the book started to get her brain going again.
[21:30] * Mad_Modd  and they leave the odd thing behind heading North towards the power plant. After several hours they come across a large, opened.... keg. Full of a sweet smelling brownish red liquid...
[21:31] * Elektron sniffs the liquid, trying to identify it
[21:32] * Ragebrew looked at the keg for a moment, blinking. "Right, no one touch that." She trotted up to the barrel, looking at it intently and giving it a good long sniff.
[21:32] * Merciful_Devotion copies Elektron, but really just wants to know if it smelled good or not
[21:32] * Spectre frowns "WOuldnt mind some blood right now...." he mutters
[21:33] * Mad_Modd  Ragebrew can tell it's BEER!
[21:34] * Ragebrew looks at the huge keg of beer. "Huh. That's a lotta beer." She looked around the area for signs of activity.
[21:35] * Midnight_Hour ([email protected]) Quit ( Connection closed )
[21:36] * Elektron can't seem to identify any smell "I couldn't smell anything coming from that... weird." he says before stepping back
[21:36] <+Spectre> "Maybe your nose is broken"
[21:38] * Elektron takes another look at his leg "I hope this isn't from the taint..." he mutters before looking around
[21:40] * Ragebrew looked over the beer throughly, sniffing at it. "Why the hell is there a keg of beer all the way out there....
[21:41] <+Spectre> "Is it cold?"
[21:41] * Iron_Lancer ([email protected]) Quit ( Quit: Bye )
[21:41] * Ragebrew deadpanned at Spectre "It'd a keg of beer in the desert. It's gonna be the lukest of warms. Although if I could get the bits, I could try to distill all the water out of it."
[21:42] <+Merciful_Devotion> "Fuck that, just give me a cup and I'll try it."
[21:42] * Spectre shrugs "Considering all the odd things weve seen today. A cool keg of beer wouldnt be too farfetched"
[21:42] * Ragebrew looked at Merci, and pulled out a coffee mug. "Well... Enjoy."
[21:42] * Elektron looks at Mercy "That doesn't sound like a good idea..."
[21:43] <+Spectre> "I wouldnt mind a bit as well... Dull some of the pain"
[21:43] * Ragebrew looked at the beer, shrugged, and dunked her cup in, and took a swig.
[21:44] * Merciful_Devotion rolls her eyes at Elektron's comment before taking the mug, dunking it into the keg and taking a deep swig
[21:44] * Mad_Modd the beer starts to bubble and froth at the fwuffy mares touch
[21:44] * Elektron frowns and takes a step back
[21:45] <+Ragebrew> "There we go." Rage dropped the cup and backed away. "Just what I need, a beer elemental."
[21:45] * Spectre has no mug but backs away at that "On second thought..."
[21:47] * ChanServ sets mode +v Midnight_Hour for #piss_poor_group
[21:47] * Mad_Modd  the barrel bubbles over as the liquid raises from the container, a pair of glowing yellow eyes glaring out from under what could be called a bubbly mane, the thing speaks with a deep gurgling rumble "Who dares disturb my slumber!?"
[21:49] * Ragebrew looked at the beer elemental "A group of very confused ponies."
[21:49] * Elektron takes another step back "What... what the heck?"
[21:49] * Merciful_Devotion blinks a little. "Okay, either I need a bigger mug... Or this thing would be a great fuck."
[21:50] * Midnight_Hour stares up at it. "Beer huh?"
[21:50] * Spectre hovers a short distance off the ground with the grenade rifle in hooves just in case, shooting Merci a look "Is there anything you wouldnt screw?"
[21:51] * Merciful_Devotion glances up at Spectre. "Probably not."
[21:52] * Mad_Modd  it glares at each in turn, pausing on Midnight_Hour and gasping. The thing simply disappearing and being replaced with a googlie eyed, green alicorn who runs up picks up Midnight_Hour in a big hug, kissing her on the mouth....
[21:52] * Ragebrew blinked. "Oh. Her."
[21:53] * Midnight_Hour tries to yelp but is taken into the embrace and kiss. "Mrph!" she tries to say, but is only greeted by a tongue in her mouth.
[21:53] * Elektron blinks and tilts his head "Can somepony explain whats going on?"
[21:54] * Merciful_Devotion blinks... Then pouts. "Oh come on!" She says this with overly dramatic hoof movements
[21:54] * Ragebrew shrugged "I was high on shrooms that day, so I don't recall, but crazy alicorn who loves riddles."
[21:54] * Mad_Modd  the alicorn sits down, hugging Midnight_Hour against her chest, petting her as she speaks "You found me! I knew you would! You guys play hide and seek good!"
[21:55] * Midnight_Hour gasps for air, sputtering and spitting. "Gah. Please don't hug me so tightly! I can't breathe!" Midnight wheezes.
[21:59] * Spectre blinks and just about fires at the alicorn. THe whole situation, along with the withdrawal from the frenzy had him on edge. Never mind the whole 'alicorns are BAD' thing... "..... Somepony explain to me whats going on!" he growls, pulling out his blade since the grenade rifle would have hurt the others had he fired
[21:59] * Ragebrew looked at Spectre, resting a hoof on his shoulder "Calm down. If she was gonna hurt us, she'd have done it the first time we ran across her."
[22:02] * Mad_Modd  she produces a brush and starts brushing Midnight... a little roughly "Oh put your mean toys away Spectre-chan."
[22:02] * Elektron still looks confused "Who are you?"
[22:05] * Spectre looks at Rage "Shes an abomination of the wastes, besides the fact that all her kind are monsters they take the form reserved for only the most sacred of ponies..." he hisses ignoring what it was saying
[22:06] * Mad_Modd  she giggles "I'm me! And you..." leaning over and giving Elektron a good once over "You've met him.... he so silly!.... And it seems we are short on time...."
[22:06] * Midnight_Hour winces. "Not so hard! My mane! Augh! Stop!"
[22:07] * Merciful_Devotion just sits down and rubs her head
[22:07] <+Ragebrew> "And the simple fact she is brushing Midnight with a little too much force instead of whisking her away while giving us all heart attacks, or worse, gives me hope that not all of 'em are monsters."
[22:08] <+Ragebrew> "Also, with the part, not against it. If ya wanna brush a pony, I got fwuff for days."
[22:08] * Elektron blinks before shaking his head and sitting down beside Mercy
[22:09] <+Spectre> "Fine... Let me know when this thing leaves" he says angrily and turns to leave "Ill be nearby... I just dont want to be in its presence"
[22:10] * Mad_Modd  a mighty flash envelops the group. When it passes they can see the power plant only a couple hours trot away "I'm helping! You aren't as snuggly as Nightie... and didn't you used to be a colt?"
[22:10] * Ragebrew grabbed Spectre hard. "No. Sorry, bad idea."
[22:11] * Ragebrew looked at the mental alicorn. "I've embraced my fwuffy side a bit. May as well enough it, rather than hate it. And yes, I did. Now I'm going to be a mommy... to a zebra filly of all things."
[22:11] * Midnight_Hour blinks. "A zebra filly? What?"
[22:12] * Ragebrew looked around. "Also, thanks for saving us the trot."
[22:12] * Ragebrew looked at Midnight_Hour and shrugged. "Quark did it. Nuff said."
[22:12] * Spectre blinks as the flash envelops him and he turns on the alicorn , knife bared "Dont use your magic on me like that /creature/!" he hisses, really trying not to attack her for the groups sake
[22:13] * Elektron spins around, getting a bearing for their new location
[22:13] * Ragebrew looked at Spectre, trotting infront of him and looming over him. "Stand. Down." She just stared at him intently.
[22:14] * Mad_Modd  she pulls Rage over and starts brushing her with a different brush, not letting go of Midnight_Hour "Yay! Fillies are fun! And that silly glowy pone is funny.... " turning to Spectre, one eye glowing... the other just sparking and rolling around "DO NOT SPEAK TO US AS SUCH SIMPLETON! WE ARE......" he eyes go back to normal and she shakes her head "Mommy talks sometimes.... but I can't...
[22:14] * Mad_Modd ...hear her anymore so YAY!"
[22:15] * Midnight_Hour stares up at the alicorn, concerned and frightened. "Mommy?"
[22:15] * Ragebrew enjoyed the brushing, despite the sheer amount of knots it was ripping out. "Ow. Ow ow. Ow. Ow."
[22:16] * Spectre gives an irritated twitch and reluctantly puts the knife away "Please tell me its not going to stay-" he pauses and glares at it "You're nothing but an abomination pretending to be something infinitely your better..." he replies and turns around to brood in silence
[22:16] <+Ragebrew> "News flash Spectre, so am I. I'm a fwuff ball pretending to be a pony."
[22:17] <+Ragebrew> "Least she's trying to help. Give her ow damnit that much."
[22:17] * Mad_Modd  she giggles at Spectre "Spectre-chan is silly. I'm just a big filly! Mommy made me big.... I.... don't know how.... or why but I'm a big pony now! So YAY!"
[22:18] * Spectre flicks an ear in irritation "Let me know when it leaves... While im in your debt for everything youve done for me theres some things I simply cannot stand..." he replies
[22:20] <+Ragebrew> "Sounds like a filly in an alicorn's body, and not by choice either. And sounds like this Mommy's got a lotta control over 'em, what with the eye thing."
[22:20] * Mad_Modd  "Ok bye! I need to go to! I brunged you guys to that place you were going to so you didn't have to walk more!" she gives Midnight_Hour a big slobbery kiss and disappears in a flash of light, dropping Ragebrew and Midnight_Hour to the ground with her departure...
[22:21] <+Elektron> "Well that was... interesting?"
[22:22] * Ragebrew lands with a thud and a wince. "Well, how delightful..." With brushed coat, she looked pretty good. A pity it reformed to it's mass of fwuff a heartbeat later. "Right then. Reactor, robots, cultists, slavers, insane alicorns... giant.... lice.... Lets get this show on the road."
[22:22] * Spectre gives a sigh of relief
[22:22] * Midnight_Hour spits and downs a swig of wine before spitting out another. "Gah. I hate how my magic doesn't work around her."
[22:22] <+Ragebrew> "Welcome to feeling like every non-horny mare in the world, Midnight."
[22:29] <+Midnight_Hour> "Ha ha..."
[22:31] * Ragebrew made kissy lips at Midnight "Love ya princess. No lie. Saved our plots plenty."
[22:33] * Mad_Modd  the group has been saved a days worth of walking! And they ran into an old... friend. What fresh horrors await them in the dreaded 'Hooveser Dam'? Find out next time because I'm feeling silly. The group gets 1500xp for stuffs
