FoE PNP G-Platypus Session 35

[19:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM> *****G-Platypus: The City of Broad Withers - Session 35*****
[19:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Recovery.
[19:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The wasteland is always cutting, always hurting.
[19:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Nopony every truly recovers. There are always wounds that fester.
[19:11] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  But there still needs to be rest for the wicked. Even if short.
[19:12] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Perhaps our wastelanders are recovered?
[19:12] <Mister_Clacky|GM> *****Session Start*****
[19:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry_Jam sits in the operating room with an unconscious Toil as Slash works on the other side of the curtain. The others have formed up around Sheriff Caboose to discuss the ghouls in the graveyard.
[19:14] * Blackberry_Jam leafs through "The Desiderata of Happiness" while she waits. That anisthetic wasn't -too- potent, she should be waking up soon.
[19:14] * Golden_Eye still has a bullet wound to get checked out. He speaks to Caboose. "I'm going to get this looked at, we'll talk more when I get back."
[19:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  True to her estimate, Toil starts to stir.
[19:15] * Blackberry_Jam sets the book down and trots back to the cot. Rearing up, she puts her forehooves on the side of the bed and waits patiently.
[19:17] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose nods. "Why don't North and I talk this out in the gate house?  The rest or you can keep eyes on that new friend of yours. That looks like a bad shot."
[19:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil blinks owlishly as she comes out of her sedation.
[19:19] * Golden_Eye nods back. "I'll live. It's not the first and it won't be the last." With that he continues heading to the meal car.
[19:19] * Blackberry_Jam gives Toil a gentle slap on the face. "Good morning." She says, kind of loudly.
[19:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil groans. "Whaddaya do tha' fo... Yuuuu suck at wake... ups..."
[19:22] * Blackberry_Jam looks her over again, shrugging. "You're welcome."
[19:23] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Golden_Eye makes it to the meal car, the door is locked with a quickly made sign reading "Procedure in Progress"
[19:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil starts to gingerly roll to her side. "I'm not dead?" She blinks slowly.
[19:25] * Blackberry_Jam rolls her eyes a little before putting a hoof on Toil's hip to stop her roll. "Easy, easy. And no, you're not dead. I'm a -good- doctor, remember? There... -is- something I'd like to ask you, though."
[19:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder_Strike and Snack_Cake stand near Jack. Ex-Slaves continue to mill around, Lariat and Chastity among them.
[19:26] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil nods. "Shure thing. Dock-ter."
[19:28] * Golden_Eye quickly pieces together what the procedure is. He doesn't want to interrupt and sits down next to the door. His constant pressure on the wound has stopped most of the bleeding.
[19:28] * Blackberry_Jam tenses a little. "Who's the last buck you had sex with?"
[19:28] <~Blackberry_Jam> "And when, as well."
[19:30] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil gives a dismissive wave of her hoof. "wha'sit matter. They took all the bits out."
[19:32] * Blackberry_Jam looks dubious. "Well, I've got bad news for you. Either they lied to you, or you're lying to me." She pauses, sucking her teeth a little. "You're pregnant."
[19:33] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil tilts her head. "Wha? Stop fuckin' with me, s'not funny."
[19:35] * Snack_Cake is spending extra time with Thunder_Strike. For the first time in a long time, she feels genuinely giddy!
[19:37] * Thunder_Strike is real happy to see Snack_Cake so giddy. ''you seem to be enjoying yourself.'' she says to her.
[19:37] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil does her best to stare Blackberry_Jam down. She has mixed results with the squinting and blinking.
[19:37] * Blackberry_Jam gives Toil a stern look. "Good doctor here. I'm not lying to you. When I gave you an ultrasound to survey the bomb, there was a fertilized egg in your uteral lining. My guess is that the egg was so close to the... other egg that it delayed your pregnancy considerably." She's winning this staredown.
[19:39] * Snack_Cake smiles back to Thunder_Strike. "It just... feels so nice to have somepony to care about so much, again."
[19:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil shakes her head. "Hey, I have my cycles regular, I don't have some delayed, stasis foal in me. That doesn't make any sense."
[19:43] * Blackberry_Jam rolls her eyes again. "Fine. I'll just show you, if you won't believe me. While I get this ready, consider what exactly I have to gain by lying." She says, rubbing some of the ointment on Toil's stomach. "Slash, bring the... ugh... 'Picture Stick' back in here."
[19:44] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil rolls back to her back. Slash rolls in the ultrasound and then takes his leave, this time closing the soundproofed curtain between the operating section and the rest of the car.
[19:46] * Blackberry_Jam flicks the power switch and wastes no time finding the spot. "Slash, hold this here." She wheels the portable monitor to Toil's head and points. "Right there."
[19:46] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash does as he's told, holding the wand right over the indicated spot.
[19:50] * Thunder_Strike smiles at her. ''that so? come to think of it... why me?''
[19:50] <Thunder_Strike> l
[19:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The monitor focuses in, showing the little black spot on the grey field. A couple lines here and there outline her organs.
[19:50] * Blackberry_Jam looks sympathetic. "It doesn't make any sense, but most pregnant mares don't have balefire warheads right next to their wombs. Sorry to say, but you're pregnant."
[19:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Quirks a brow, staring at the screen. "That little dot? Shure it isn't lke a... smudge?"
[19:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil*
[19:52] * Blackberry_Jam nods slowly. "I know what I'm looking at. Now, let's try this again: the last buck you had sex with, and when?"
[19:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash puts the wand back on the machine and heads back out into the main area. He picks back up sweeping away some debris he made while remodeling. Toil thinks. "Last? Golden. Last night... and this morning."
[19:57] * Snack_Cake hesitates a moment before she responds. "Well... Because you're the one who always stuck by me the most. From the first moment I met you, you tried your best to help me."
[19:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash opens the door and sweeps the accumulated dirt, dust, and debris outside in one fluid motion.
[19:58] * Thunder_Strike blinks for a moment then hugs her. ''well you're welcome.'' she says then looks at the ex-slaves.
[19:58] * Blackberry_Jam shakes her head a little. "All right... farther back. A week, maybe two."
[19:58] * Golden_Eye stands up when Slash opens the door. "Is Miss Jam done?"
[19:59] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil nods. "Yeah, about then too. First time was a blast. About... oh... a week or two before our little fun?"
[20:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Golden_Eye gets a face full of dirt.
[20:00] * Blackberry_Jam rubs the back of the neck. "Well then... looks like we've found the father."
[20:00] <~Blackberry_Jam> her, even*
[20:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash steps aside. "Yeah, she's done. Talking about stuff."
[20:02] * Golden_Eye walks inside. "I need to see her."
[20:03] * Snack_Cake returns the hug. She's very appreciative of everything Thunder_Strike has done for her!
[20:03] * Blackberry_Jam hears the sound of new hooves and ducks out of the operating room. "Be back in a second." She flashes her newest guest a smile.
[20:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash doesn't get in Golden_Eye's way. He goes back to his remodeling
[20:05] * Thunder_Strike ''so Snack_Cake, if you don't mind me asking.... what was being in that stable like?''
[20:07] * Blackberry_Jam claps her hooves together. "Goldilocks! Need medical attention?" She asks, still smiling.
[20:10] <Golden_Eye> "Yes, Miss Jam. I was shot while attempting a job."
[20:11] * Snack_Cake thinks for a moment. "Well... compared to outside... it's so much smaller. Nice and cozy! And you know most of the ponies by name! And everything was so much calmer and simpler. There wasn't any real... danger. Living in a Stable is about as close to living in old Equestria as you can get..."
[20:12] * Blackberry_Jam looks him over, then looks back at the curtain. "All right..." She says dubiously. "Take a seat and take your armor off. Who the hell shot you around here?" She asks, getting her tweezers, styptic, and bandages out.
[20:13] * Golden_Eye takes his armor off and sits as directed. "A ghoul that truned out to not be feral."
[20:14] <Golden_Eye> Turned*
[20:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil calls from the other side of the curtain. "How do I turn the stick thingy on!"
[20:15] * Blackberry_Jam suppresses a chuckle. "A ghoul shot you, huh?" She turns to the curtain. "The power switch is labelled, Toil. Use your eyes." She returns her attention to pulling the bullet out. "We met a non-feral ghoul out there a while back, too. Very hostile."
[20:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil hollars back. "Found it!"
[20:16] * Thunder_Strike taps her hoof and nods. ''it does but they're not to friendly when someone leaves and tries to return.
[20:17] * Snack_Cake frowns. "I don't know why... She never seemed so... mean."
[20:18] <Golden_Eye> "It was in defence. Had I not fired first, I may have been able to approach them with incident. With so little and conflicting information, it's hard to tell."
[20:19] * Blackberry_Jam plucks the bullet out and tosses it in a trash bin. She carefully applies a bandage and claps him on the shoulder. "So, one other thing you may want to know."
[20:20] <Golden_Eye> "What's that?"
[20:20] * Thunder_Strike ''my guess is she thought you were tainted in someway.
[20:20] * Blackberry_Jam clears her throat. "Not sure how to put this delicately, so I'll be blunt. You're a father."
[20:22] * Golden_Eye stares at her a moment and then looks to where Toil is. "Toil wasn't scoured was she? You found it during the operation."
[20:23] * Blackberry_Jam nods slowly. "Good guess. I had my doubts when she said the slavers did it. Like they'd know how to properly tie a mare's tubes. I'll let you talk to her." She says, trotting over to open the curtain for him."
[20:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil yells from the back room. "Doc! You're a quack! Look! If I put it over here, there are /two/ black dots. So it's a mechnical problem, right?"
[20:25] * Blackberry_Jam hangs her head. "Twins."
[20:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil has the monitor dragged over, facing away from the curtain. She is pointing the stick inward from her side instead of straight above.
[20:26] * Golden_Eye walks toward Toil, still processing.
[20:26] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  (she is facing away from the curtain, the monitor is visible)
[20:27] * Blackberry_Jam motions for Golden_Eye to follow her into the OR. "Toil, Goldilocks, I think we should talk about what you're going to do with this information."
[20:27] * Golden_Eye looks at the monitor. "That's..."
[20:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil looks over. "That's two black dots, not one. Two is not one, so you're wrong, right?"
[20:29] * Blackberry_Jam nods slowly. "That's an ultrasound image of her uterus. Two black dots means two fertilized eggs. Two is -not- one. Two is two. Twins."
[20:31] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil stops talking, she just stares at the monitor. Her hoof slowly raises to rest on her stomach, rubbing slowly in tiny circles.
[20:33] * Blackberry_Jam takes off her beret. "Now... you're only a week or two into this pregnancy. There's time to... well, you know. I think you should think about how you want to proceed -very- carefully."
[20:33] * Golden_Eye takes his goggles off so he can look at the monitor better. He puts a hoof on Toil's shoulder.
[20:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Sheriff Caboose pulls out a chair from under a simple metal desk and kicks his legs up. He looks over at North__Star.
[20:37] * Thunder_Strike nudges Snack_Cake. ''you alright? ya disnt answer.''
[20:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil looks over at Golden_Eye. "You did this to me."
[20:41] * Snack_Cake gives a little sigh. "It's... I won't lie. It hurts to think about. I won't be able to go back home... but... You, and Berry, and everypony else mean just as much to me, now."
[20:41] * North__Star trots over to the desk, looking down at the good Sheriff. "Just wanted to know if there was anything special ya might've noticed about the ghouls before I went to look it over,"
[20:42] * Blackberry_Jam puts her hooves up defensively. "Nopony 'did' this to anypony else, okay? There's no need to point blame."
[20:43] * Golden_Eye looks at her, not sure how she's going to react. He doesn't remove his hoof.
[20:43] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil turns her head. "I disagree! He put it in and fired it off and what are you going to do, Goldie!"
[20:43] * Thunder_Strike smiles at her. ''I know how that feels alittle. I don't know my mom and dad or my home. but I... we have a new home now.''
[20:46] * Blackberry_Jam looks between them. "I'll... let you two work this out." She bows out politely.
[20:48] * Snack_Cake gives a little nod. "Yeah..." She smiles. "Berry asked me what I'd want most out of it, too! It feels good, Thunder... it really does!"
[20:49] * Golden_Eye doesn't really know what to say. "What I should do. Or what I believe I should do at least. I won't leave except to get caps to support you."
[20:50] * Blackberry_Jam tosses her spent gloves into the trashbin and flops on Slash.
[20:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash smirks. "Sounds fun in there."
[20:52] * Blackberry_Jam gives a sigh. Not one of content, but not really iritation either. "Foal talk... always is."
[20:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil sighs. "You talk to much, but that's what I wanted to hear. Fuck... twins... two weeks... Oh fuck! I did Milkeye!"
[20:53] * North__Star blinks at the sheriff twice, waiting for some sort of a response.
[20:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose shakes his head. "We hadn't had so much as a peep from them in months before that last incident."
[20:55] * North__Star sratches his mane, "And I take it the last incident was more or less normal."
[20:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Sheriff Caboose shakes his head. "Far from it, biggest group of ghouls we ever saw come out of there. According to the Doc, one of them talked. Killed the other two stable ponies that were with Snack_Cake."
[20:57] * Golden_Eye is still at a bit of a loss. "It might not have affected them."
[20:58] * North__Star tilts his head. "Talked, huh?"
[20:58] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil sighs. "Can't be worse then being next door to a balefire bomb, right?" She forces a nervous chuckle.
[20:59] <Golden_Eye> "Very true. I'm sure Miss Jam will continue to look after your health and will help us out."
[21:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil continues rubbing her stomach. "DOCTER!"
[21:02] * Blackberry_Jam looks up, flicking an ear in irritation. She slips her beret back on and sticks her head through the curtain. She doesn't look amused. "Yes?"
[21:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Turns to look toward Blackberry_Jam. "Can you get /more/ pregnant?"
[21:03] * Blackberry_Jam blinks twice. "I... what... why?"
[21:05] * Golden_Eye smiles, amused. "I think she's asking if we can still do that without getting more kids?"
[21:06] * Thunder_Strike grins at her and nods. ''so what do you want most out of it?''
[21:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil leans her head back over the head of the bed. "I mean, like... yeah... if I have more sex can they just like... keep growing?"
[21:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose nods to North__Star. "That's what they said. He talked, said something right before they killed him."
[21:06] * Blackberry_Jam hangs her head. "No, no you can't. I think I'm going to go have a drink or two and forget most of this conversation. I wouldn't, though. Any more stress on those stitches might reopen the wound."
[21:08] * North__Star nods. "Got something to ask then." He says, heading for the door, "I'll see what I can do 'bout it."
[21:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil nods. "Not right now. But me and Goldie talked earlier, and I've still got a fling on the calender and I plan to use it. Then the one stud thing from then on."
[21:09] * Blackberry_Jam gives a little snort as she trots out. "Slash, let me buy you a drink."
[21:10] * Snack_Cake smiles at Thunder_Strike. "She got the one with the nice kitchen. So now I have my own place to cook!"
[21:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil waves at Blackberry_Jam as she leaves. "Let me know when I'm cleared for physical activity!" She smiles and looks over to Golden_Eye. "You /are/ still fine with that, right? I mean, straight and narrow after, but a mare has to keep her word."
[21:15] * North__Star steps out of the gatehouse and makes a path to intercept Blackberry_Jam.
[21:15] * Blackberry_Jam tugs her buck along with her, and gives North__Star a passing nod. "Hot Shot."
[21:16] * Thunder_Strike smiles and hugs her tight. ''I'm happy for you.'' she says smiling.
[21:16] * Golden_Eye smiles. "I almost don't want you to have that fling now that I know you're carrying our foals." He chuckles lightly. "Any way we can make it a foursome? I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing that I'm already feeling protective."
[21:16] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash follows along with Blackberry_Jam  and North__Star, leaving his work for later.
[21:17] * North__Star stops the good doctor for a couple seconds. "Caboose said you guys had an encounter with the local ghouls without me, care to fill me in?"
[21:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil levitates the wand back into place looking at the screen. "Twins..." She starts to tear up.
[21:20] * Golden_Eye holds her hoof with both of his front ones.
[21:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "She was always more the one for foals... she kept giving away her food share. If I split mine, she'd give that away too... I had to force her to eat if there were foals around..." A tear falls down her cheek.
[21:24] <Golden_Eye> "She would be happy for you, Toil. She would love to see you as a mother. We'll raise them and give them a much better life than the two of you had to suffer through."
[21:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil's lips turn down as more tears start to fall. "She should be the one. I don't know what to do! I barely kept her alive and I failed at that! I... I..." She turns to babbling as the the tears fall in earnest.
[21:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash, Blackberry, and North__Star make it to the Dining Car. Slash goes to get them drinks and then heads to a booth.
[21:28] * Snack_Cake returns Thunder_Strike's hug. "Do you want to go see it?"
[21:29] * Golden_Eye puts his hooves around her and holds her. "You cared for her. You loved her. All you have to do is give them the same and you'll be a wonderful mother. She would want nothing less for them."
[21:32] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil wraps her forelegs around Golden_Eye in a crushing hug. "My little Trouble's gone!" She sobs uncontrollably into his chest, all these new feelings and emotions shattering the bottle in the bottom of her soul she'd been shoving it all into.
[21:34] * Thunder_Strike ''sure!'' she says getting up to follow Snack_Cake
[21:35] * Golden_Eye keeps holding her. He's happy that she's finally letting it all out.
[21:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake and Thunder_Strike cross the short distance to the railcar and enter the partially destroyed interior. Two of the three stoves have been removed and the last is in pieces. A thick, opaque curtain seperates the main area fromthe operating theater. It is partially open and inside Golden_Eye holds a wailing Toil.
[21:37] * Snack_Cake gives a concerned look to Toil. "What's wrong? Is everything alright?"
[21:37] * Blackberry_Jam sits down at the booth and nods slowly. "That was almost... two, three weeks ago? Before we met you."
[21:37] * North__Star remains standing. "I hear Snacky didn't fare too well from it.."
[21:38] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil looks at Snack_Cake, her face smeared with tears and... well... she's a mess. "My sisters dead and I'm PREGNANT!" Waaaaaaiiiilllll!
[21:39] * Blackberry_Jam nods a little. "Sit down, Hot Shot. You're making me anxious."
[21:39] * Golden_Eye looks at Snack_Cake as Toils wails still with his eye patch over his right eye and not knowing what to say.
[21:40] * North__Star nods and takes a seat, "Caboose says one of them talked at you."
[21:40] <Golden_Eye> Toil*
[21:41] * Blackberry_Jam crosses her hooves. "Yes. Seems one like that shot Goldilocks, too. It's not that uncommon, seeing a talking ghoul, really."
[21:41] * Snack_Cake gives a loud gasp. "You're... That's amazing news!" She rushes over to Toil, practically dragging Thunder_Strike along by the tail as well. "How long? Is it a filly or a colt?"
[21:42] <Golden_Eye> "We don't know... and, they're twins."
[21:42] * North__Star rests his head on a hoof. "I know some ghouls talk, I wanna know if this one said anything that could be important."
[21:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil shakes her head. "They're dots! I don't know!" She points accusingly at the screen... which is blank. "Gimme the stick, Goldie!"
[21:43] * Golden_Eye grabs it for her.
[21:44] * Blackberry_Jam shakes her head. "That was weeks ago, North. The only thing I remember were those bodies."
[21:45] * North__Star sighs. "Right. Sorry."
[21:45] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil applies it to the side of her stomach with her magic, seeming to calm down a little as she looks at the screen. She points out the two black dots, calming her breathing to make the picture be clearer. She grabs hold of Golden_Eye's wing, pulling if over with her hooves to wipe her face on the thin membrane.
[21:46] * Thunder_Strike ''wah! Snacky! no draggy ze Thunder Strike!'' she shouts then eventually stands when she could. ''Toil, that's wonderful news, but why are you wailing about it? oh your sister... wouldn't she be proud of you though?
[21:47] * Blackberry_Jam shrugs a little. "I'm the one who should be sorry, really."
[21:47] * Snack_Cake gasps even louder. "Twins!?" She looks at the screen in wonder.
[21:47] * Golden_Eye let's his wing go limp for her. "Yes, twins."
[21:48] * North__Star waves a hoof. "Relax... You think there's any chance to keep anything like that from happening again?"
[21:49] * Blackberry_Jam looks North__Star in the eye. "If you're asking me to go into that graveyard and kill every last one of those ghouls, I'm going to save you the breath and say that you're out of your mind."
[21:51] * North__Star shakes his head. "I'm going over there to see if this can't be settled an easier way."
[21:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil finishes cleaning her face on Golden_Eye's wing and pushes him away, beckoning Snack_Cake and Thunder_Strike over to see the monitor. "See? Those black dots. Berry says I'm just a couple weeks along."
[21:52] * Blackberry_Jam nods. "You're out of your mind. Just because a ghoul can talk doesn't mean it can be a diplomat. Or -want- to be."
[21:54] * North__Star takes his turn to look Berry in the eye. "They shot Goldy once, and told him to scram. If that's not a sign that they don't want trouble, I don't know what is."
[21:54] * Golden_Eye sighs as he's pushed away, but let's the mares approach and let's Toil gush. At least showing them makes her happy.
[21:56] * Snack_Cake is smiling pretty wide. She loves foals, and this is very exciting for her. "A couple weeks? So you still have a while to go!" She thinks for a moment. "You know, if you ever need help, I'd be more than happy. I love foals..."
[21:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash sips his fruity mixed drink. The whole ghoul thing kinda involves him. Kinda. He listens, enjoying his drink.
[21:59] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil nods. "I think I'll ransack that apartment complex for furniture and stuff, make the top floor nice. Blow the stairs like we were talking about Thunder. I've got some bunkbeds on the southside... but hopefully I can find all I need close." Her horn glow intensifies as she levitates a quartet of flasks from her saddlebag. "Guess these are yours now." She gives two each to the mares.
[22:02] * Thunder_Strike nods at toil then looks at the dots. ''yep. that's twins alright.'' she says then takes a flask. ''I keep it close for you.'' she says then adds, ''I'll help you too.''
[22:05] * Blackberry_Jam looks North__Star back in the eye. "Then live and let live, right? No need to risk getting shot -again-."
[22:07] * North__Star nods. "Right. Until some poor fool takes the job on the board and either ends up as food, or killing somepony who doesn't deserve it."
[22:08] * Blackberry_Jam doesn't see the issue here. "Then we ask Caboose to take the job down?"
[22:09] * North__Star shakes his head. "Something tells me, so long as there's an issue with the ghouls, somepony's just gonna keep asking for it to be taken care off.
[22:09] <North__Star> *of"
[22:09] * Snack_Cake isn't sure about taking the flasks from Toil... but Toil shouldn't be drinking with foals. "Thank you. Make sure you take care of yourself... You have to think of the foals now, and not just yourself."
[22:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smiles, bringing the mares into a hug. "How are you ponies so nice! I just don't understand it!" She starts to cry again, resting her head between Snack_Cake's and Thunder_Strike's shoulders.
[22:18] * Thunder_Strike thinks on that point for a moment. ''cause being mean to friends aren't how friends should act.''
[22:20] * Golden_Eye smiles at the scene, stepping back further to give them space.
[22:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil blabbers something about not deserving such good friends, or any friends, or anypony, or anything, cause she's bad and tried to kill you all and did bad things and is bad. It's all a pretty indecipherable mess.
[22:23] * Snack_Cake gives Toil a pretty big hug. "You're a good pony... you were just forced into a horrible place... If it was me... I don't even know what I would have done."
[22:25] * Thunder_Strike same here toil. your the kinda pony how needs good friends like us.'' she says hugging her.
[22:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil rolls back onto the bed, fresh tears on her face. "Goldie?"
[22:28] <Golden_Eye> "And, Trouble would want us to care for you."
[22:28] * Golden_Eye walks over to her. "Yes, Toil?"
[22:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil grabs his other wing, cleaning off again.
[22:29] * Golden_Eye chuckles lightly, letting his wing go limp again.
[22:30] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil lays back, chuckling, then breaking out into full on laughter.
[22:33] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil's chortles soon tone down to strangled little giggles. "Goldie, what do you think about 'Eye Strain'?" She tries to keep a straight face.
[22:34] * Golden_Eye not sure if she means from crying or something else. "Of what kind?"
[22:36] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash swirls his umbrella in his drink again. "I've been here a long time. Until this last time, I don't think we've ever seen anything but ferals come out of there."
[22:37] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil giggles some more. "No. Golden_EYE. TOIL. EYE STRAIN."
[22:38] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash eyes North__Star. "So, either something has changed, or it's a fluke. A deadly fluke, yeah? But a fluke"
[22:39] * Golden_Eye sighs, smiling and lightly chuckles as he looks down and shakes his head.
[22:39] * North__Star looks over to Slash. "Yet, there's still somepony out there of sound mind... Well, sound enough."
[22:40] * Thunder_Strike chuckles at her. ''you silly filly.''
[22:41] * Snack_Cake smiles at Toil. It's good to see her happy. "You know... on the topic of names, you could always name one of them after your sister. That way, a little bit of her stays with you."
[22:42] <Golden_Eye> "That's a great idea, Miss Snack_Cake. We should.
[22:43] * Thunder_Strike smiles, ''you could name one Double, and the other Trouble.'' she says smiling.
[22:44] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Smiles. "Maybe..." She starts rubbing her stomach again lightly, then it rumbles loudly.
[22:46] * Thunder_Strike giggles and has a seat. ''so how's it feel to have that bomb out of ya?''
[22:47] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil shrugs. "I don't really notice anything different. I mean, I hurt, but that's just the incision. Inside... I don't feel different."
[22:48] * Thunder_Strike ''no piece of mind knowing that it's out when a simple bump could have set it off?'' she asks tilting her head.
[22:49] * Snack_Cake smiles at Toil and Thunder_Strike. "Well, I for one am glad it's out! It's nice not having to worry about your friends..."
[22:50] <Golden_Eye> "Esspecially with two foals that will be kicking about."
[22:52] * Thunder_Strike '' oh I forgot to ask jam if she could.. make sure I don't have a bomb I side me... they never made me where a collar.'' she says alittle worried about herself.
[22:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil waves a hoof dismissively. "I had it in me for years, apparently. It never went off then. But I guess him activating it might have made it more unsta... fuck... guess I should have been worried." She looks over to Golden_Eye. "And with you mucking about in there, you could have blown more than your load!" She bops him on the nose.
[22:53] * Thunder_Strike can't help
[22:53] <Thunder_Strike> but laugh at her comment about blowing more.
[22:54] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil starts to sit up, but winces. She rolls. "Help me off this thing, Goldie."
[22:55] <Golden_Eye> "Did Miss Jam say that it was ok for you to walk?"
[22:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil waves it off. "Didn't say it wasn't"
[22:56] * Snack_Cake helps Toil. She'd rather help than have Toil hurt herself without help.
[22:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil manages to roll off the table with Snack_Cake's help and lean against Golden_Eye. "Alright, Cutie. On your back and spread'em."
[22:57] * Golden_Eye does too. He winces a bit from his bullet wound. "I'll need to have her look at that again."
[22:58] * Thunder_Strike helps her too. ''BJ just worried about us to much and likes to act like out mother.'' she says giggling.... 'come to think of it... she's old enough to be my mom.'' she says then laughs at the though.
[22:58] * Snack_Cake is a little surprised at Toil. "Wait... what?"
[22:59] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smirks. "Let's not go bashing motherly instincts now. Now, Thunder_Strike, get on your back on the table."
[23:00] * Thunder_Strike giggles. ''I'm not. I was only being silly.'' she says, then hopes up onto the table and does as she asked.
[23:00] * Snack_Cake is a little worried about where this seems like it's heading.
[23:02] * Thunder_Strike looks at Snack_Cake. ''you alright Snacky? she's just gonna check to make sure I'm not carrying an explosive payload too.''
[23:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil levitates the wand over Thunder_Strike, it hanging above her lower stomach. "A couple days ago, this would have had a very different ending." She brings the tip of the wand down on her stomach and moves it around.
[23:03] * Thunder_Strike isn't sure what she meant. ''how so?'' she asks confused.
[23:03] * Snack_Cake gives a sigh of relief. "I just... that's not what it sounded like she wanted to do, from what she said at first..."
[23:04] * Thunder_Strike ''oh no. I'm gonna save that privilege for you Snacky. when you're good and ready that is.'' she teases.
[23:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smirks, rubbing the wand all over Thunder_Strike's stomach in an untrained but thorough way. "You look clear to me. Now, I'm hungry, so unless I'm eating you guys, lets go to the Dining Car."
[23:09] * Golden_Eye chuckles lightly. He wouldn't be opposed. "Let's go then. Can you teleport us?"
[23:09] * Thunder_Strike gets off the table and nods. ''I'm hungry too. what about you Snack_Cake?''
[23:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil snorts. "It's not that far. I'm not straining myself for that." She starts walking gingerly out of their car and toward the Dining Car.
[23:10] * Golden_Eye walks next to her in case she needs to lean on him at all. "Alright, let me get my armor and things first though."
[23:11] * Thunder_Strike shrugs then attempts to drag Snack_Cake.
[23:11] * Snack_Cake is stunned. She tries to speak, but just sort of squeaks the first time. The second time, she mutters a quiet, "That would be nice." She follows Toil to the dining car, inspecting her hooves and avoiding Thunder_Strike's gaze.
[23:12] * Thunder_Strike looks back at Snack_Cake and giggles. ''you're so adorable.'' she says teasing the mare further then slows up a bit to give her a nuzzle.
[23:17] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil leads the way into the DIning Car with Golden_Eye. She sits down at the booth next to North__Star. "Goldie, pull up another table so we all can sit?" She takes her time getting comfortable.
[23:18] * Snack_Cake is very embarrassed over this. She mutters and stammers quite a bit, though none of it is understandable.
[23:19] * North__Star looks over at Toil. "I see you're just peachy."
[23:21] * Thunder_Strike snickers then walks into the dining care. ''I'm just teasing you, you silly filly.'' she says hugging Snack_Cake before sitting down.
[23:23] * Golden_Eye pulls up another table and sits next to Toil, putting his hoof around her. "It's good to see you feeling better, Toil."
[23:24] * Snack_Cake keeps quiet and sits down with Thunder_Strike.
[23:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil leans back in the seat, getting comfy. She's turned on the bench leaning on Golden_Eye with her hind legs brought up to lay on North__Star's lap. She gives a comfy sigh as she reclines. "I'm doing alright. Yourself?"
[23:26] * North__Star raises an eyebrow at Toil, "Just getting back to some old practices."
[23:27] * Thunder_Strike leans on Snack_Cake cause she's more comfy than the table. ''you alright Snack_Cake? I didn't upset you did I?''
[23:30] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil grins. "Sounds fun. New stuff for us, right Goldie?" She chuckles.
[23:32] * Snack_Cake shakes her head. "I just... I was caught off-guard by what you said."
[23:33] * Thunder_Strike giggles at her and nuzzles into her. ''I'm just flirting with you Snacky.''
[23:34] <Golden_Eye> "Speaking of new stuff for us. What plans do you have for that building to the South?"
[23:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Home sweet home to be. Let me tell you /all/ about it..."
