  1. [18:29] <TenMihara|GM> *****PnP Group 13; Hoofington Sucks: Session 8*****
  2. [18:29] <TenMihara|GM> Progress.
  3. [18:29] <TenMihara|GM> Hoofington was once the foremost center for progress in Equestria during the war
  4. [18:29] * No_One is now known as The_Batmare
  5. [18:30] <TenMihara|GM> Although Fillydelphia was the center for industrial revolution, Hoofington, prior to it's initial destruction, became a hub for scientific progress
  6. [18:31] <TenMihara|GM> Hoofington Rises they would say, and rise it did. Some of the war's greatest advancements were made as Hoofington took its place as a think-tank, attracting Equestria's greatest scientific minds
  7. [18:32] * Micro_Sparkle (Zepheniah@Pony-29945m.pool.mediaWays.net) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP3
  8. [18:32] <TenMihara|GM> However, progress for the sake of progress, can be a bad thing. Some say Hoofington went too far too fast, almost leaving the rest of the nation in the dust
  9. [18:32] <TenMihara|GM> Sure they wanted to find solutions to the ever increasing problems presented by the escalation of the war, but at what cost?
  10. [18:33] <TenMihara|GM> How far will our group of wastelanders go, and what will be the cost of their progress?
  11. [18:33] <TenMihara|GM> I guess we'll find out...
  12. [18:33] <TenMihara|GM> *****Session Begins*****
  13. [18:34] <TenMihara|GM> After a night of sleep at the Chapel Guest House, the party awakens, except for The_Batmare, who can choose to sleep in at her Belltower perch if she wants to. Upon beign awoken by Sweet Dreams, the rest of the party may notice that Purple_Kay and Missile_Rush have already departed.
  14. [18:35] * The_Batmare is on the belltower perch. She wonders if there is even still a bell.
  15. [18:35] <TenMihara|GM> Kid finds a note at the end of her bed, along with her cleaned and gussied up machete. 'Away for a bit, don't fuck anything up'
  16. [18:37] ->> You are now known as Razor
  17. [18:39] <TenMihara|GM> There is a bell, and looking down through the tower, The_Batmare can see Priest looking up at her next to a pull cord
  18. [18:40] * The_Batmare notices Preist about to ring the bell in her ear so she climbs down
  19. [18:41] <TenMihara|GM> Priest chuckles as The_Batmare descends; "You're lucky I spotted you, otherwise that would have been a rather rude awakening."
  20. [18:41] * The_Batmare nods at Priest, "Yes, undoubtably. Thank you."
  21. [18:42] <TenMihara|GM> Priest notes; "I don't actually ring the bell that often, I just realized I forgot to during your friend's service. Why were you sleeping up there though?"
  22. [18:42] <TenMihara|GM> *Kid is Razor btw
  23. [18:45] <TenMihara|GM> Priest amends hsi statement; "I know I said it was alright, but it just seems an odd place to rest."
  24. [18:45] * The_Batmare "I find it easier to sleep from an elevated position."
  25. [18:45] * Razor is definitely impressed with her new and improved weapon. She gives it a few test swings, looking pretty satisfied.
  26. [18:46] * Jake_Juice yawns, climbing out of bed and stretching. He puts his gear back on and trots out of the guest house. He sees The_Batmare and Priest, and trots over to them. "Mornin'." he looks at The_Batmare "Sleep well up there hun'?" he chuckles.
  27. [18:47] <TenMihara|GM> Priest shrugs; "Not my cup of tea, but who am I to criticize? I tend to sleep on the pews."
  28. [18:48] <TenMihara|GM> Upon stepping out of the guest house, Jake can here an eerie flute melody drifting over the town. It seems to be coming from behind the church.
  29. [18:49] * Razor reads the note as well, then frowns. Well... what was she supposed to do, then? She puts her machete away and goes outside to find something interesting.
  30. [18:49] * The_Batmare nods, "Pews look to be fairly comfortable, I do not find it that odd." She looks over when Jake_Juice walks over. "Morning, and yes, I did."
  31. [18:51] <TenMihara|GM> As Razor steps outside, she too hears the drifting flute melody coming from near the graveyard
  32. [18:53] * Jake_Juice smiles "Glad tah hear it hun'." he yawns "So, we going to head back tah Flank today?"
  33. [18:53] <Proverb> Doc is still dead. No zombies here!
  34. [18:54] * The_Batmare shrugs, "I am unsure, that depends on the will of the group. There is no pressing need for haste, however."
  35. [18:54] * Razor follows the music. It was /something/, and she needed to find something to do.
  36. [18:54] <TenMihara|GM> Priest notes; "That reminds me, if you are departing, that large Purple friend of yours said you could go ahead without him for now. You are welcome to stay of course."
  37. [18:55] <TenMihara|GM> Out behind the church, standing over Doc's grave, Razor finds Missile playing that odd wooden flute of his.
  38. [18:55] * Razor is a little disappointed in the result of her search. She was hoping for something more... fun.
  39. [18:55] * The_Batmare looks over at Priest with a raised eyebrow, "Where did he go to?"
  40. [18:57] <TenMihara|GM> Missile stops playing as Razor approaches. He then gets up and trots over to another pair of graves and sits down. "This is them. The two I killed. Copper and Amber's parents." He says nothing more and begins to play over their graves as well.
  41. [18:58] * Razor gives him an odd look. She's not really sure why he feels like she's the pony to open up to.
  42. [18:58] <TenMihara|GM> Priest nods; "I believe he is trying to offer some consolation to Copper. He didn't tell me much, but had me procure some odds and ends form Charity for him. Given his injuries, he seemed to think his own experiences might be at least partly relatable for her."
  43. [18:58] * Jake_Juice scratches his head with a hoof "Huh... well ahlright than."
  44. [18:59] <TenMihara|GM> Missile just seems to be talking because she's the first one to show up; "After this, we're gonna part ways. I did my job, and now somepony else needs to provide for Amber, since Copper's out of commission. I'm gonna head to Megamart and pick up some more work."
  45. [18:59] * The_Batmare would think that'd be a strange leap in logic but doesn't question priest, "As you say."
  46. [19:01] * Jake_Juice looks at The_Batmare and Priest "Either of yah hungry?"
  47. [19:02] * The_Batmare nods at Jake_Juice, "Yes, but I am currently at a loss for food. I was planning on purchasing some shortly."
  48. [19:03] <TenMihara|GM> Priest nods; "I do not doubt his heart, but I fear his own experiences pale compared to hers as a... mare in that situation." He shakes his head of the thoughts, then looks to Jake_Juice; "There is a fire pit at the south end of town if you wish to prepare something."
  49. [19:04] <TenMihara|GM> Priest smiles; "And no, I would not mind joining you in breaking the fast."
  50. [19:05] * The_Batmare blinks in confusion at Priest, "A trauma of one is not to be compared to a trauma of another. There is no sliding scale of pain, all is felt truly in the heart and soul. To compare them as greater or lesser is a dishonour to those who must carry the burden."
  51. [19:06] * Jake_Juice shakes his head "Don't need tah do that darlin'." he looks at Priest "Thank you Father, ah'll probably head over there shortly." he chuckles, then blinks. "That's uh... huh. Never thought of it like that hun'."
  52. [19:06] <TenMihara|GM> Priest looks at The_Batmare with contempt for the briefest of moments, then sighs; "Some losses are greater than others. Sorrow may be common, but some things are beyond compare."
  53. [19:07] * Razor doesn't really say anything. There isn't much to say... she's not the right pony to talk to for this sort of thing. This was too complicated an issue for her. Instead, she just looks among the graves.
  54. [19:08] * Proverb is now known as TicTac|AFK
  55. [19:08] * TicTac|AFK is now away - Reason : PEP BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!
  56. [19:10] * The_Batmare tilts her head in confusion, "If they are beyond compare, why compare them? I mean simply that it is not right to belittle someon'es loses or pains by saying it could be worse, or someone has it worse. That does nothing for them, and does not help. Each should be taken on their own, not weighed and measured on the scale of tragedy to see who is more deserving of pity."
  57. [19:10] * The_Batmare she pauses. "But I must eat, good day to you Charity." She walks off to find a filly and buy food from her.
  58. [19:10] <TenMihara|GM> Priest shakes hsi head; "Perhaps you misunderstand me. I do not belittle Copper's suffering, but I fear that yoru friend might do so without meaning to."
  59. [19:12] * Jake_Juice blinks, then holds out a hoof to The_Batmare "Woah, hold up for a moment hun.' I've got enough for both of us. No need tah needlessly spend yer caps."
  60. [19:12] <TenMihara|GM> Missile Rush says nothing more and goes back to playing his flute. Razor, amidst the gravestones, finds a couple of smaller ones that look to house foals.
  61. [19:13] * The_Batmare stops and looks at Jake_Juice, "Okay... if you insist." She says nothing more to Priest as she doesn't understand his last sentence compared to the other.
  62. [19:13] <The_Batmare> s
  63. [19:14] * Razor isn't all that heartbroken over it. She knows how hard it is in the wasteland. Ponies die. Their foals die. Their parents die. Everypony dies.
  64. [19:14] <TenMihara|GM> If Razor isn't moved by death, there's not much to be interested in a graveyard
  65. [19:15] * Jake_Juice chuckles and waves a hoof for The_Batmare to follow him over to the fire pit. "It'd be my pleasure love, I assure yah." he then begins to cook all of the radhog meat he has on him.
  66. [19:15] * The_Batmare follows Jake_Juice to the meat pit and watches her cook, "So long as you do not lack for food in the future."
  67. [19:15] <TenMihara|GM> Priest says nothign else on the subject and follows the two of them down to the Fire Pit; "If you don't mind me joining you still."
  68. [19:16] * The_Batmare "I do not mind."
  69. [19:16] <TenMihara|GM> Priest nods and seats himself; "What are you cooking there?" he asks Jake_Juice
  70. [19:18] * Jake_Juice shakes his head "Nah, don't mind at all Father. And Radhog. It'll go down a bit rough but it has a decent enough taste to it."
  71. [19:19] <TenMihara|GM> Priest corrects Jake_Juice; "Priest is my name as well as my title." He noticably winces when Jake says 'father'/
  72. [19:19] * The_Batmare doesn't understand why Jake would use fire, but doesn't call it into question. She simply stands there, ever vigilant, for the meat to be cooked.
  73. [19:20] * Razor gives a sigh and wanders off. She gives Missile a brief glance before she goes, but can't really think of anything to say.
  74. [19:20] * Strifer (Pantzar@Pony-kclccu.cust.bahnhof.se) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP3
  75. [19:21] <TenMihara|GM> Missile_Rush finishes his song and gets up, flying off to the south east. On the way out of the graveyard, Razor finds one foal sized one separate from the others simply enscribed 'Hope'
  76. [19:21] * Jake_Juice blinks "Ah... didn't mean anythin' by it. There was a church back where ah come from an' that's what we tended tah call the man of the house there."
  77. [19:21] <TenMihara|GM> Priest nods; "No need to chastise yourself over it. Also, I may have to rescind on joining you for this meal. I do not eat meat."
  78. [19:22] * The_Batmare blinks at Priest, "How do you find enough food to survive then? Plants do not seem to be common in this location."
  79. [19:23] * Jake_Juice nods "Understandable. I used to have the same feelins bout' it but after needin' to eat it to survive... well, yah understand."
  80. [19:25] * Razor is still respectful of the departed. She has her head down as she passes by, leaving the graveyard to its quiet solace
  81. [19:26] <TenMihara|GM> Priest smiles; "Actually, Charity has a small garden out behind her shop, and her trade brings in a fair amount of pre-war food as well. This town is one of the few places in Hoofington that can actually support regular plants."
  82. [19:27] * The_Batmare blinks, "Really? Why is it capable and others are not?"
  83. [19:28] <TenMihara|GM> Priest smiles; "Haven't you noticed? This place is free of even the slightest races of taint, evervation and other poisons. I cannot say I understand why, but perhaps it is best not to question the small blessings we do recieve
  84. [19:28] <TenMihara|GM> ."
  85. [19:29] * Jake_Juice nods his head slowly "Hmm..."
  86. [19:29] * The_Batmare hadn't really noticed, but she's not a posion expert, "Yes, Though that is quite curious."
  87. [19:30] * Jake_Juice isn't really an expert either "Indeed." he continues cooking the meat.
  88. [19:30] <TenMihara|GM> Priest smiles; "A small sanctuary dedicated to Goddess Celestia. That is what this place was meant to be, so that is what I maintain it as. Especially for the youngest of her charges."
  89. [19:32] * Jake_Juice smiles "Well, that's pretty noble of yah Priest."
  90. [19:33] <TenMihara|GM> Priest smiles; "I appreciate your compliments, but I am merely doing what should be done. Perhaps someday others will be inspired to do the same."
  91. [19:33] * The_Batmare nods at Priest, "Yes, quite noble."
  92. [19:34] <TenMihara|GM> Priest notes; "At the very least, I hope that when the foals grow up and leave, they take with them the ability to plant seeds of kindness in other parts of the wasteland. Hoofington in particular needs it."
  93. [19:34] * Razor goes looking around for more interesting things.
  94. [19:34] <TenMihara|GM> Razor spots some foals running around, playing games, and a couple patroling the edge of the town with arms and armour.
  95. [19:35] * Jake_Juice tilts his head a bit "There a reason thar aren't any other adults livin' here Priest?"
  96. [19:35] <TenMihara|GM> Priest nods; "This place is a sanctuary, and because of its proximity to the core... most adults that come here do so to leave their foals in my charge as they finish the pilgrimage."
  97. [19:36] * Jake_Juice "Pilgrimage? What kinda pilgrimage?"
  98. [19:36] * Razor watches the foals for a moment.
  99. [19:37] <TenMihara|GM> Priest nods and looks towards the core; "I can show you when you have finished your meal. However, if you choose to follow me, do not go ahead."
  100. [19:38] * Jake_Juice blinks "Uh... alright."
  101. [19:38] <TenMihara|GM> Priest wanders away to get something of his own to eat, coming back hopefulyl when The_Batmare and Jake_Juice have finished
  102. [19:40] * Jake_Juice gets out the steaks and gives one to The_Batmare "Eat up hun'." he says smiling as he begins to chow down as well.
  103. [19:40] <TenMihara|GM> The foals are playing what looks like a simple game of tag, but eventually a bunch of them ponypile onto one and they all fall down giggling.
  104. [19:41] * Razor gives a slight smile before she moves on.
  105. [19:41] * The_Batmare eats her steak, "I do not have a good feeling about this 'pilgrimage"
  106. [19:41] <TenMihara|GM> Razor sees Charity stepping out of her shop and putting out a 'Daily Deals' sign, as well as the Fire Pit at the end of town where Jake and Bats are eating.
  107. [19:42] * Razor is feeling pretty hungry. She heads over to cook herself some breakfast.
  108. [19:43] * Jake_Juice noms "Yeah... we'll see. Also, lemme know if I didn't cook it right or somethin'. It's been awhile tah be honest."
  109. [19:44] * The_Batmare "It is a satisfactory meal. Thank you."
  110. [19:47] <TenMihara|GM> Razor, in spite of being borderlien insane sometimes, is a pretty good cook
  111. [19:48] * Jake_Juice smiles "Good to see I haven't forgotten everything." he chuckles. "So... out of curiousity, what do yah like to do when you're not helpin' ponies hun'?"
  112. [19:48] * Razor enjoys her delicious meal! She's had some practice, due to her lifestyle.
  113. [19:49] <TenMihara|GM> Priest returns as the trio finish their meal, polishing off a whole carrot himself. He waits and lets them chat. He could show them when they were finished.
  114. [19:50] * The_Batmare blinks at Jake_Juice, "Wait for the next oppertunity to help ponies."
  115. [19:50] * Razor is still a bit thirsty though. She's out of water. She glances over toward Charity's shop, deciding it's a good idea to stock up on necessities...
  116. [19:50] * The_Batmare also secretly runs a multi-billion dollar corporation
  117. [19:51] * Jake_Juice raises an eyebrow at The_Batmare "Surely there must be somethin' else? Yah've gota do somethin' tah relieve stress and take your mind off your work every now and then."
  118. [19:51] * The_Batmare "Nothing I can think of."
  119. [19:51] * Razor heads over to do some shopping!
  120. [19:52] * Jake_Juice blinks "Well... what did yah in yer spare time before yah donned the costume?"
  121. [19:52] <TenMihara|GM> Charity's Daily Deal signs advertises Wonderglue and Duct tape at 20% off
  122. [19:53] * The_Batmare stares at Jake_Juice and finishes her meal, "Such things are irrelevent."
  123. [19:56] * Jake_Juice shakes his head "Nah, you're wrong about that hun'. Yah can't ever ferget your past."
  124. [19:57] * Jake_Juice finishes his meal and puts the rest of the steaks away for later.
  125. [19:57] * The_Batmare "Of this I am aware, it does not mean I must discuss it, however."
  126. [19:58] <TenMihara|GM> Priest stands up; "If you wish to see, follow me please." He begins walking in the direction of the core.
  127. [19:58] * The_Batmare blinks and follows priest
  128. [19:58] * Jake_Juice smiles "If that's the way yah feel hun'." he gets up and trots besides The_Batmare.
  129. [20:03] <TenMihara|GM> Priest leads the two of them closer to the Core, but stops at the edge of a broken bridge overlooking the last leg of the distance between them and the Core. "I am sad to say that 'The Pilgrimage', as I have come to call it, is the last journey for many. I try to talk those I can out of it, but sometimes the weight of this place is too much for ponies to bear."
  130. [20:05] * Razor leaves Charity's shop, drinking down the bottle of water she'd bought. She can't help but feel a little cheated, but water's not something she can do without.
  131. [20:06] <TenMihara|GM> Charity seems satisfied with the transaction
  132. [20:06] * The_Batmare "Oh. I see..."
  133. [20:07] * Jake_Juice just kind of stares at the broken bridge for a moment. "...So... you're tellin' me... this pilgrimage is just... suicide? Corrupted use of the word pilgrimage if yah ask me..."
  134. [20:07] <TenMihara|GM> Priest picks up a hunk of broken pavement from the bridge and hurls it towards the core. As it flies through the air, there are a number of flashes, and six beams of red magical energy converge on the rock at the same time, immediately reducing it to ash that blows away on a gust of wind.
  135. [20:08] * Jake_Juice 's eyes go wide "The hell was that?!"
  136. [20:09] <TenMihara|GM> Priest sighs; "I use that term only to spare the foals the full realization if they are not of age to be ready for it. That," he explains, "Was the core's defense. Magical energy turrets that automatically open fire with extreme prejudice on anything that comes into range. For those that come, it is quick, nearly instantaneous, and painless, since it takes longer to feel the pain than it does for a body to become ash."
  137. [20:10] <TenMihara|GM> Priest notes; "That is also the reason I instructed you not to go ahead of me."
  138. [20:10] * Jake_Juice just blinks staring at the ash "I... I see... that's uh... wow."
  139. [20:12] <TenMihara|GM> Priest hangs his head; "The cowards option, though I cannot always say those that take it are truly cowardly. Which is why I give them the title of pilgrims instead. Those who travel to escape hardship."
  140. [20:12] * The_Batmare says nothing more and just stares at the turrets and the bidge. She does not see how this would help at all.
  141. [20:12] <TenMihara|GM> Priest turns away and sighs; "We should not linger here. These are not thoughts that it does well to dwell upon."
  142. [20:14] * Jake_Juice shakes his head "Sorry Priest... but I'm afraid I don't share the same opinion... it's sick if yah ask me... don't think I could ever live here." or anywhere near that damned core for that matter.
  143. [20:15] <TenMihara|GM> Priest nods; "I do not agree with it, and I always attempt to convince those who would otherwise, but in the end, if their minds are made up, there is no power I posess to stop them."
  144. [20:16] * Jake_Juice nods "That I understand..." he shakes his heads, not really wanting to think about it.
  145. [20:16] * The_Batmare looks over at priest, "You may not be able to stop them, but you should not enable them in this manner."
  146. [20:17] <TenMihara|GM> Priest shakes his head; "There is nothing I can do but make the last stage of their journey more comfortable, and try to convince them to seek another path. There are many other ways for the Pilgrims to pursue their ends should they wish, this is merely reputed the most merciful."
  147. [20:18] * Jake_Juice just shakes his head.
  148. [20:18] <TenMihara|GM> Priest continues as he walks; "It is because of my constant failure to prevent poines from completing the pilgrimage that I give myself the pennance of raiding the Crusaders."
  149. [20:19] <TenMihara|GM> *raising
  150. [20:22] * Strifer (Pantzar@Pony-kclccu.cust.bahnhof.se) Quit ( Ping timeout: 121 seconds )
  151. [20:23] * Jake_Juice sighs "Well... I'm going to go sell all that junk we got... you comin' with hun'?" he says looking at The_Batmare, trying not to think about the suicidal pilgrimage.
  152. [20:24] * The_Batmare nods at Jake_Juice, "Yes, I shall." She turns her backs to Priest and goes to follow Jake
  153. [20:25] * Jake_Juice heads to Charity's shop, trotting up to the counter and presenting Charity with all the things they're selling. "Mornin' Charity."
  154. [20:26] <TenMihara|GM> Priest sighs and returns to the Chapel
  155. [20:26] <TenMihara|GM> Charity gives a yawn and smiles; "Hey again. What can I get for you?"
  156. [20:27] * Jake_Juice smiles "Lookin' to sell all this junk. Buy some healing potions while I'm at it too."
  157. [20:29] <TenMihara|GM> Charity nods and sizes up the raider loot. With Jake Juice keeping the SMG, she offers 660 caps.
  158. [20:33] * Razor is running out of things to do! How did Kay expect her to stay out of trouble for so long!?
  159. [20:34] * Jake_Juice hmms "Yah think we can get a bit more Charity? We did kinda lose someone gettin' all this..."
  160. [20:34] <TenMihara|GM> Charity nods; "Well, you'll probably stocking up here anyways, right? I'll do 750."
  161. [20:35] * Jake_Juice smiles "Got yerself a deal kiddo. Now..." he pulls out a list of ingredients and hands it to Charity "Yah got any of these by any chance?"
  162. [20:36] <TenMihara|GM> Charity nods and looks the list over; "Got lots; how much you want?"
  163. [20:37] * Jake_Juice thinks for a moment "Enough to make a half a dozen or so bottles of a little something I can cook up. How many healin' potions you got in stock?"
  164. [20:38] <TenMihara|GM> Charity steps away and fishes around for a moment. She comes up with 8 healing potions, all completely free of Enervation decay.
  165. [20:38] <TenMihara|GM> She also provides enough ingredients for 8 bottles of Jake Juice
  166. [20:41] * The_Batmare "You should ask the others before spending such an amount of caps."
  167. [20:43] <TenMihara|GM> Razor sees nothing of interest as she walks around the town.
  168. [20:44] * Jake_Juice hmms, looking at The_Batmare and nodding. "Wasn't going to, however, I'll take 3 of each for now, jus' tah be safe."
  169. [20:44] <TenMihara|GM> Charity nods and slips the rest of the potions and ingredients away; "225, unless you need other supplies as well."
  170. [20:46] * Jake_Juice shakes his head, then stops "Well... yah got any unarmed weapons?"
  171. [20:47] * The_Batmare humms at Jake, "I was unaware you were proficent in close range combat."
  172. [20:47] <TenMihara|GM> Charity pulls out a full set of Spiked Ponyshoes, a pair of bladed solerets and a set of hoofboxing boots. "Anything catch your eyes?"
  173. [20:49] <TenMihara|GM> *bladed gauntlets
  174. [20:49] * Seaspray (chatzilla@Pony-ca8rv1.sntcca.sbcglobal.net) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP3
  175. [20:50] * Jake_Juice chuckles "I'm not love, but you are." he looks at what Charity pulls out, then back at The_Batmare "Though, doesn't look like anythin' she has would be much of an upgrade fer yah."
  176. [20:51] * The_Batmare "The bladed gauntlets would be an upgrade, what is their price?"
  177. [20:51] <TenMihara|GM> Charity smiles; "Five hundred for the pair."
  178. [20:51] * The_Batmare "Oh, I see. They are not worth the purchase at this time."
  179. [20:52] <TenMihara|GM> Charity nods; "Your call. Anything else ya need? Food and water maybe? Ammo?"
  180. [20:53] * The_Batmare "Not for me at this moment, thank you."
  181. [20:53] * Jake_Juice checks his bags to see if he needed any of those things "Could use a few waters actually, how much yah charge for em'?"
  182. [20:54] <TenMihara|GM> Charity smirks; "Water here is as fresh as you can find anywhere. Sixteen caps a bottle."
  183. [20:55] * Jake_Juice chuckles "Gimme 3 bottles, then that should be it kiddo."
  184. [20:56] <TenMihara|GM> Charity smiles and pulls out three bottles. Her bottles are noticably twice the size of most water bottles that can be found. "Pretty good deal these are," she notes with a grin.
  185. [20:57] * Jake_Juice blinks "Well, yeah. Don't see a whole lot of bottles that big. Alright, how much you want for everything?"
  186. [20:58] <TenMihara|GM> Charity does some quick math in her head; "270."
  187. [21:00] * Jake_Juice hooves over the caps "There yah go kiddo. Might be back later if everyone thinks having more medical supplies is a good idea or not."
  188. [21:00] <TenMihara|GM> Charity nods; "It's certinaly not a bad idea."
  189. [21:01] * The_Batmare "I agree."
  190. [21:02] <TenMihara|GM> Charity slips the caps into a register and smiles; "Pleasure doign business with you."
  191. [21:03] * Razor by now has found herself inside the main building, sort of idly sitting around.
  192. [21:03] <TenMihara|GM> Priest looks to Razor as she enters the chapel; "Can I do something for you miss?"
  193. [21:03] * Jake_Juice offers his hoof to Charity "The pleasure is all mine kiddo."
  194. [21:04] <TenMihara|GM> Charity nods and then goes about storing the thigns she bought from Jake_Juice
  195. [21:04] * Razor shakes her head. "Just lookin' for something to do..."
  196. [21:04] <TenMihara|GM> Priest nods; "Well, if you wish to think or to pray, this is an excellent spot to do so."
  197. [21:06] * The_Batmare "Shall we attempt to locate the others?"
  198. [21:06] * Jake_Juice looks at The_Batmare and nods "Was just about to suggest that hun'." he trots out of the store to look for the others.
  199. [21:07] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay is trotting back up towards the chapel from Star Home.
  200. [21:08] <TenMihara|GM> Bilge_Rat is around
  201. [21:09] * Jake_Juice waves the two of them over "Anyone seen Razor? We should probably be headin' out soon."
  202. [21:09] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay shakes his head; "I was just abotu to ask you the same. I noticed she seemed kinda... different inside the church, so I thought maybe she came here again."
  203. [21:09] * Razor nods to Priest. She'll probably just... sit here for a while.
  204. [21:10] * The_Batmare "Last I saw of her she was eating at the campfire."
  205. [21:11] * Jake_Juice shakes his head, looking over at the campfire "She isn't over there anymore... damnit, hope she didn't get into any trouble."
  206. [21:12] <TenMihara|GM> Purple Kay trots up to the door of the chapel, but again doesn't bother stepping inside.
  207. [21:13] * Jake_Juice begins trotting towards the chapel "I'ma go check to see if Priest has seen her, or if she's in there." he enters the building.
  208. [21:16] <TenMihara|GM> Razor is sitting amongst th pews, thinking or at least sitting quietly. Priest is up at the altar, polishing a silver candelabra.
  209. [21:16] * Razor looks kinda bored.
  210. [21:17] * Jake_Juice trots over to Razor and prods her shoulder "Hey, kid, pretty sure we're about to head on back to Flank."
  211. [21:20] * Razor looks up at Jake, then quickly gets up, with a sigh of relief. "Good!" She doesn't wait for an answer, but heads outside.
  212. [21:21] * Jake_Juice blinks "Alright then." he trots out after her, trotting over to the rest of the group. "Everyone ready to head out?"
  213. [21:21] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay smiles as Razor comes out; "Hey kid, had enough quiet time?"
  214. [21:21] <TenMihara|GM> Bilge_Rat grunts affirmatively
  215. [21:22] * Razor grins a little. "Can't wait to get goin'! So let's go!"
  216. [21:23] * Jake_Juice nudges The_Batmare "You ready hun'?"
  217. [21:23] * The_Batmare "Yes, of course. Let us go."
  218. [21:24] <TenMihara|GM> The group departs from Chapel and beings their journey back to Flank. After a couple hours...
  219. [21:26] <TenMihara|GM> Off on the side of the road, Razor and Jake_Juice can spy some figures moving slowly. The_Batmare catches the smell of rotting flesh on the breeze.
  220. [21:27] * Jake_Juice blinks "Hold up... got company over there." he says pointing a hoof at the figures.
  221. [21:27] * Razor takes out her weapon and casts her spells on it, getting prepared for a fight.
  222. [21:27] * The_Batmare sniffs, "Hum. Yes. They smell like ghouls, I believe."
  223. [21:28] <TenMihara|GM> The figures are presenly 200 ft away
  224. [21:28] <Jake_Juice> "Easy Razor... might not be hostile."
  225. [21:28] * Razor snorts indignantly at Jake_Juice.
  226. [21:28] <TenMihara|GM> They don't seem to notice the group, and are standing over something in a group.
  227. [21:29] * The_Batmare "Too bad we lost our pegasi, they could work recon. Stay here, I shall attemp to sneak up and see what is going on." She stealths and tries to move forward
  228. [21:29] * Jake_Juice moves up a bit out of sight, waiting for The_Batmare.
  229. [21:30] <TenMihara|GM> The_Batmare isn't as quiet as she'd like to be, but the ghouls don't seem to take notice. As she moves she can see six of them standing over a pair of fresh corpses, eating them.
  230. [21:31] * The_Batmare backs off quickly, "Feral ghouls." She says to the group. "They're eating someone...
  231. [21:32] * Razor gives Jake_Juice a snide look that just screams 'I told you so'
  232. [21:32] * Jake_Juice "Ah..." he looks at Razor and shrugs "Unless we're sneaking by, have at em' kid."
  233. [21:33] * The_Batmare "The ponies they were eating appeared to be corpses, but I cannot be sure, I suggest eliminating them to be safe." She tries to go back into sneak and move back forward
  234. [21:34] * Jake_Juice stays low to the ground, waiting.
  235. [21:35] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay loads his rifles and moves about fifty feet closer to get a bette shot.
  236. [21:35] * The_Batmare moves in close and waits for Razor to create a Razor-like commotion.
  237. [21:36] * Razor grins. Gladly! She heads right for the group of ghouls! It's time for a party!
  238. [21:36] <TenMihara|GM> Closer in, Razor and The_Batmare can see that of the six ghouls, two of them look like they're wearing tattered soldier's uniforms, while the rest look like civillians.
  239. [21:37] <TenMihara|GM> The ghouls are -ver- obivious
  240. [21:45] * Razor just keeps on heading in. It's their own fault if they're oblivious! She jumps on one of the ghouls who looks like it can put up a fight, and puts her new and improved weapon to the test!
  241. [21:48] <TenMihara|GM> Razor carves through the ghoul's flesh like butter, and the thing shrieks in pain as she carves a pair of great rends into its chest and shoulder.
  242. [21:49] * The_Batmare jumps out of sneak to drop kick one of the soldier ghouls, and then kick it thrice more for good measure. Taste justice flesh eater.
  243. [21:51] <TenMihara|GM> The_Batmare thoroughly pulverizes the soldier-like ghoul that Razor didn't already cut into, leaving little more than a bloody series of flesh smears on the pavement.
  244. [21:54] * Jake_Juice runs in to short range and lets off one shot with his shotgun at the nearest ghoul.
  245. [21:55] <TenMihara|GM> The ghouls shrieks as it is pelted with Scattershot
  246. [21:56] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kau takes aim at the ghoul wounded by Jake_Juice and lets off a twinshot
  247. [21:57] <TenMihara|GM> The Twinshot messily splatters the ghoul, exascerbating the multitude of buckshot wounds it already suffered.
  248. [22:02] <TenMihara|GM> Bilge_Rat Rushes in to skewer one of the other ghouls, knowing full well not to get in the way of Razor's kill
  249. [22:03] <TenMihara|GM> The ghoul Shrieks as Bilge puts his Harpoon through its shoulder, then tears away a great chunk of flesh retracting it
  250. [22:04] <TenMihara|GM> The ghouls seem to notice the death of one of their own mroe than their injuries, and swarm over The_Batmare, except for the one currently engaging Razor, which attempts to bite her face off
  251. [22:05] <TenMihara|GM> The first ghoul walks right into The_Batmare's backswing and loses a few teeth, but then manages a couple bites with the ones it has left.
  252. [22:10] <TenMihara|GM> The second and third ghouls tear at the costumed pony, one of them landing only a single nick, but the third manages a really solid, painful chomp into her shoulder.
  253. [22:11] <TenMihara|GM> The remaining Soldier Ghoul lunges right back at Razor
  254. [22:11] <TenMihara|GM> The Soldier Ghoul only makes one of its wounds worse as it catches the edge of Razor's Edge, but manages to get a bite off
  255. [22:13] * Razor winces slightly at the bite.
  256. [22:14] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay fires to finish off the one that Bilge_Rat Skewered. His Twinshot fells it easily after is existing wounds.
  257. [22:14] * The_Batmare growls in pain. The plan was for them all to attack Razor, sheesh.
  258. [22:18] * Razor takes out her frustration on the ghoul who'd bit her. She aims to take off the offending body part!
  259. [22:20] <TenMihara|GM> Razor successfully cuts off the soldier ghoul's face. All of it.
  260. [22:20] <TenMihara|GM> It dies
  261. [22:20] * Razor then turns and lashes out at the nearest ghoul
  262. [22:22] <TenMihara|GM> Razor misses in the kerfuffle of two surviving ghouls snapping at The_Batmare
  263. [22:23] * The_Batmare kicks the fuck out of ALL the ghouls. Five kicks total.
  264. [22:25] <TenMihara|GM> The_Batmare manages to rend the ghoul biting into her shoulder off and kick him to the curb. Painfully. And lethally.
  265. [22:25] <TenMihara|GM> One Ghoul is left standing
  266. [22:26] * TicTac|AFK is now known as Proverb
  267. [22:26] * Proverb is no longer away - Gone for 3 hrs 18 mins 9 secs
  268. [22:26] * Jake_Juice reloads his shotgun then shoots the last ghoul standing!
  269. [22:28] <TenMihara|GM> Jake_Juice blows the Ghoul's head apart.
  270. [22:28] * The_Batmare notices the ghouls are dead and goes to check on the ponies that were being eaten.
  271. [22:29] * Jake_Juice reloads the shotgun then slings it back over his back, trotting up after The_Batmare.
  272. [22:29] <TenMihara|GM> The two ponies that were being made into a meal by the ghouls just look to be normal travellers. They didn't even see to be armed with anything beyond a small knife
  273. [22:31] * The_Batmare frowns, they were dead. Damn. She looks around, maybe the somepony escaped the ghouls and are hiding, though not likely.
  274. [22:32] * Jake_Juice sets about looting their bodies along with the ghouls.
  275. [22:32] <TenMihara|GM> The signs of bite marks and chunks of flesh torn out by mouth indicate that the travelers were just painfully unlucky to have stumbled across the small feral herd
  276. [22:33] <TenMihara|GM> Jake_Juice, between the travellers and Ghouls, comes up with 32 Bottle Caps, a harmonica, a dose of Jet, and from the pockets of one of the soldier ghouls, a cherry bomb.
  277. [22:34] <TenMihara|GM> *Dash
  278. [22:34] * Jake_Juice takes everything of use, leaving the harmonica.
  279. [22:34] <TenMihara|GM> There's also the small Knife
  280. [22:35] * Jake_Juice takes that too then
  281. [22:36] * Razor snorts and gives the dead soldier ghoul's head a kick for good measure, then puts her weapon away. "Hardly worth my time!"
  282. [22:38] <TenMihara|GM> The dead ghoul remains dead and doesn't respond to being kicked
  283. [22:39] * Jake_Juice trots over to The_Batmare "Got everything valuable off of em', guess we should get moving."
  284. [22:40] * The_Batmare winces and nods, "Yes, lets."
  285. [22:40] * Jake_Juice tilts his head "Something wrong?"
  286. [22:41] * The_Batmare "No, I'll be fine."
  287. [22:42] <TenMihara|GM> The_Batmare presendly has a large chunk of flesh missing from her shoulder near the neck.
  288. [22:42] <TenMihara|GM> *presently
  289. [22:43] * The_Batmare has had worse
  290. [22:43] * Jake_Juice blinks "Uh... here hun'." he takes out a healing potion and hooves it to her. "Drink that."
  291. [22:44] * The_Batmare blinks at the healing potion, "Oh, okay." She takes her medicine. It didn't even hurt that much. She's had worse
  292. [22:45] <TenMihara|GM> A bit of The_Batmare's purple coat can be seen through the hole in her costume where she got the nasty bite, which has left a scar
  293. [22:47] * Razor watches the proceedings with disinterest. She's ready to get this show on the road!
  294. [22:47] * The_Batmare looks at her costume, "I will need to get this repaired..."
  295. [22:48] * Jake_Juice chuckles "I'm sure PK can do it for yah hun'."
  296. [22:49] * The_Batmare rubs her scar, "Hmm, yes. later. let us move on."
  297. [22:50] * Jake_Juice nods "Let's." he continues on the road to Flank.
  298. [22:51] * Razor follows on the road to Flank!
  299. [22:52] <TenMihara|GM> The group has no more run ins on their way back to Flank, which they reach at late afternoon.
  300. [22:58] <TenMihara|GM> As the group re-enters Flank's main shopping strip, they can see Double Tap coming out of the constabulary office. As well, they catch a hoofful of ponies migratign towards Stable 69 and Mixers
  301. [23:01] * The_Batmare "We are to head to the mixers, correct?"
  302. [23:02] * Jake_Juice nods "Yeah, let's get going." he trots towards Mixers.
  303. [23:03] <TenMihara|GM> Mixers is not all that busy, but is starting to have a less than sparse population. Caprice herself is talking to a numeber of the bar mares, probably giving instructions for the evening.
  304. [23:04] * Razor has... other things she'd like to do at Mixers. If only she wasn't so short of caps.
  305. [23:04] * Jake_Juice trots over to Caprice and politely waits until she is done talking to her bar mares.
  306. [23:05] <TenMihara|GM> The Bar mares break off after a few minutes, leaving Caprice to turn and face the group; "Hey there, welcome back. Please tell me you have good news."
  307. [23:05] * Purple_Kay reaches into a pocket on his saddle and produces a carefully folded note.
  308. [23:06] * Purple_Kay "She's alive and with her sister." He gives a sad smile as he hands over the note.
  309. [23:06] * Jake_Juice smirks and nods "Probably the best of news... well... maybe not. We ended up savin' your mare from raiders Caprice, she's in Chapel with her sister now."
  310. [23:06] <The_Batmare> 'What about half powah?
  311. [23:06] <The_Batmare> Wrong chat
  312. [23:06] <The_Batmare> Fuck
  313. [23:07] <TenMihara|GM> Caprice takes the note and looks it over. She nods, her expression neutral; "I take it that 'unharmed' is too much to ask for, given her custody?"
  314. [23:08] * Purple_Kay "Afraid so. She'll live, but she's in a lot of hurt, physically and mentally. With the prostetics she should be mobile again soon, if she can find the motivation within herself."
  315. [23:09] <TenMihara|GM> Caprice nods; "I'll get the full story from her eventually then, but I owe you for your work regardless... wait, what happened to the Pegasi?"
  316. [23:09] * Jake_Juice shakes his head "She was... more than just physically scarred, I'm afraid."
  317. [23:09] * Jake_Juice blinks "Wait... what did happen to him?"
  318. [23:10] * The_Batmare is not sure
  319. [23:12] * Razor looks between Jake_Juice and The_Batmare. "He's gone. Left."
  320. [23:13] * Jake_Juice blinks "What? Where?'
  321. [23:14] * Purple_Kay sighs. "I'm not surprised, he took it hard. He has a lot of guilt to work through."
  322. [23:15] * Jake_Juice shakes his head. "Well... wherever he went, he's gone." he looks back at Caprice and shrugs.
  323. [23:16] <TenMihara|GM> Caprice nods; "And what about Dawn?"
  324. [23:18] * The_Batmare "She was slain in battle."
  325. [23:18] * Jake_Juice blinks "Oh... she... she didn't make it I'm afraid. Sad really."
  326. [23:19] <TenMihara|GM> Caprice frowns; "I see. Well, I suppose that settles her debt then. Still, I owe the rest of you two hundred caps apiece." She heads over the counter, ducks down a moment, then comes back with 5 baggies of bottle caps, each labeled '200'
  327. [23:20] * Purple_Kay stows his share.
  328. [23:20] * The_Batmare takes her caps, "Thank you..."
  329. [23:21] * Jake_Juice takes his share as well, then gets out the rest of the caps they got from selling the loot from earlier and splits that evenly as well.
  330. [23:21] * Razor grins, and takes her share of caps immediately to go spend it here at Mixers.
  331. [23:25] * The_Batmare walks over to PK, "You are a mechanic, no? I may require your assistance."
  332. [23:25] <TenMihara|GM> There's a robot acting as a chem vendor on the second level; "Greetings valued patron. What pleasure can I dispense this evening?"
  333. [23:26] * Purple_Kay "Sure thing Bats. What ya need?"
  334. [23:28] * Razor doesn't even have to think. "Buck! I need three... no, four! Four doses."
  335. [23:28] * The_Batmare "It occures to me that my costume may not provide enough protection, and I was thinking of reinforcing my cape. Would you be able to do that, and also repair the damage done to me suite?"
  336. [23:29] <TenMihara|GM> The robot holds out a gripping apendage; "That will be 120 Caps please."
  337. [23:29] * Razor pays the robot! She wants her buck!
  338. [23:30] <TenMihara|GM> The robot turns and brings out another appendage that dispenses the oranage tablets to Razor
  339. [23:31] * Purple_Kay gives the Batmare's suit an appraising look. "Yeah, with some materials I can patch it up, do some reinforcing... add a gusset at the barrel to free up your movement a bit... could even incorperate that shape into a logo if you want. Yes, I could fix it up."
  340. [23:32] * The_Batmare "I, perhaps, though it is not nessicary. What materials do you require?"
  341. [23:32] * Jake_Juice watches Razor trot off then turns to The_Batmare and Purple_Kay, simply waiting.
  342. [23:34] * Razor takes them from the robot, eagerly! She starts to put them away... but hesitates at the last one, looking at it. She debates taking one now...
  343. [23:36] <TenMihara|GM> Razor should totally do it. She feels weak without the drug in her system. She can't be weak, not if she's goign to be the Hoof's greatest fighter (says her Internal Voice of Addiction)
  344. [23:37] * Purple_Kay sucks his teeth a moment in thought. "Need something similar enough to pull swatchest from... maybe some Stable bardi... no... it's heavier than that... No, best to just buy the material straight instead of pulling from something. Have you considered a cape? With a bit of work I could modify a basic armored cloak into a nice cape."
  345. [23:38] * Purple_Kay *a longer cape"
  346. [23:38] * Razor can't argue with that! After much internal debate... she decides she doesn't feel strong enough without it. She takes the buck tablet.
  347. [23:38] * The_Batmare "If you can create such a cape I would be pleased."
  348. [23:40] * Micro_Sparkle (Zepheniah@Pony-29945m.pool.mediaWays.net) Quit ( Connection closed )
  349. [23:40] * Jake_Juice hmms...
  350. [23:41] * Razor feels a little better about herself as she rejoins the rest of the group.
  351. [23:43] * Purple_Kay "Yes, it should be pretty easy to get you better protected. You'll need to get Buddy to go shopping with me, I figure it shouldn't put you down more than 180 caps."
  352. [23:44] * The_Batmare nods, "Okay." She hooves him the caps, "Tell me when you are able to preform this task."
  353. [23:45] * Jake_Juice frowns "My name isn't Buddy... it's Jake."
  354. [23:48] * Purple_Kay "Sure thing, Sport. Let's get to shopping. I'll need to find someone willing to rent time at a workbench." He looks back to the Batmare. "Once we have everything together, I guess you can take my blanket and lay low somewhere. I know you don't fancy any of us seeing you... disrobed."
  355. [23:50] * Razor grins slightly. That's... interesting.
  356. [23:50] * The_Batmare blinks, "Uh, thank you. I suppose..." She just plans to poof away when the time comes and not show up again until they're done
  357. [23:51] <TenMihara|GM> At this time, the General Supplies Store is still open
  358. [23:52] * Jake_Juice frowns "It's not Sport either..." he shakes his head, then chuckles and says to The_Batmare "Don't worry hun', ah won't let anybody look." he then begins to trot towards the general shop.
  359. [23:52] <TenMihara|GM> Caprice waves the group off, then goes upstairs to talk to the DJ ponies.
  360. [23:52] * The_Batmare is blushing a fair bit and follows. She was wondering if this was a terrible idea
  361. [23:53] * Razor follows as well. She's gotta see this.
  362. [23:53] * Purple_Kay trots to the old buck's general store. He didn't remember a workbench there, but they had all kinds of scrap material.
  363. [23:53] <TenMihara|GM> The same old buck from before is napping in his chair.
  364. [23:55] * Purple_Kay leans over to Jake. "You're on Champ." He goes and starts looking around for a healthy supply of armor mesh capes... errr... cloaks... and some other basic materials.
  365. [23:56] * Jake_Juice trots over to the buck, nudging him with a hoof "Hey old timer, we're back. Lookin' to buy some improved armor for a friend of mine."
  366. [23:58] <TenMihara|GM> The buck snorts and wakes up; "Huh, wuzzat? Armour? What kind?"
  367. [00:00] * Purple_Kay chats with Razor as he looks. "Ya know, that armor's real snazy, if I do say so myself, but it could still be reinforced some. And you should consider a cloak. It makes you mysterious, and mysterious is very intimidating."
  368. [00:01] <Jake_Juice> "Some materials to improve and fix her current armor, and an armored mesh cape, er cloak."
  369. [00:01] * Razor turns to Purple_Kay, briefly, but keeps her eye on The_Batmare. "Uh... What do you mean?"
  370. [00:01] * The_Batmare is beined eyed for some reason
  371. [00:02] <The_Batmare> being*
  372. [00:03] * Purple_Kay "That's what you like, right? A nice, intimidating look? They're also good protection." He turns suddenly somber. "I... I don't want to have to go back to that Chapel to bury you... Ooo! This looks promising!"
  373. [00:03] * Purple_Kay trots over and starts shifting through some merchandise.
  374. [00:04] <TenMihara|GM> The buck gets up on his creaking joints and heads over to a chest. He has a couple of armoured Mesh cloaks in there, as well as some raw mesh that could be used on the costume.
  375. [00:07] * Jake_Juice smiles "One of those'll do nicely, and PK could repair or reinforce her costume with some of those materials in there."
  376. [00:09] <TenMihara|GM> The buck nods and lugs the items over to the register
  377. [00:10] * Jake_Juice "How much yah want for all of it'?"
  378. [00:11] * Purple_Kay finds a used suit of leather armor. "What do ya think, Kid? I can easily pull enough from this to really fix up that suit of yours."
  379. [00:12] * Razor gives Purple_Kay an odd look. "Didn't you already work on it?"
  380. [00:14] * Purple_Kay "Yes, I did the best I could with the materials I had. Still, the raider suit didn't give me what I really needed to strenthen it, just patch it and give it a little flair."
  381. [00:16] * Razor keeps looking oddly at Purple_Kay. "I guess... if you really want to."
  382. [00:17] <TenMihara|GM> The buck looks it over, then looks to Jake; "Dun think I can outbarter a youngin' like yerself, so les jut do face value. Hundred and Eighty for the lot."
  383. [00:19] * The_Batmare already gave PK 180 for everything
  384. [00:19] * The_Batmare means that PK should use that to pay
  385. [00:19] * Jake_Juice smirks "Sounds good." he looks back at Razor and PK "You two find anything else while I'm over here?"
  386. [00:20] * Purple_Kay trots up with the leather armor in hoof. He gets up to Jake and looks through the pile. "This should do it, any more of these cloaks?"
  387. [00:21] * Jake_Juice nods and points to the box the old buck opened.
  388. [00:24] * Purple_Kay scrounges through the chest, looking for four more cloaks to add to the pair Jake grabbed.
  389. [00:25] <TenMihara|GM> The buck steps back into a storeroom behind the counter he comes back with just one additional cloak; "This is all I got.
  390. [00:26] <TenMihara|GM> The buck notes; "Gotta do some restockin' soon, but the last caravan from Megamart seems to be late."
  391. [00:26] * Jake_Juice nods "No problem old timer."
  392. [00:27] * Purple_Kay sucks his teeth. Three cloaks in all... he looks for enough and the right kind of materials to potentially reinforce a cloak for Razor.
  393. [00:29] * Purple_Kay talks while he digs. "Say, do you have a workbench hidden in here somewhere? Or know who does?" He hasn't seen one in here, but it is rather cluttered.
  394. [00:29] <TenMihara|GM> in the chest that originally held the material to use with The_Batmare's custume is a roll of raw armoured Mesh
  395. [00:29] * Purple_Kay smiles. That should do the trick. He adds it to the pile.
  396. [00:30] * Razor is watching Kay. He's an odd pony.
  397. [00:31] <TenMihara|GM> The merchant looks at the pile; "Alright then. 280."
  398. [00:32] * Purple_Kay gets out the caps, 180 of Bats that he totally remembers her giving him, and 100 out of his own pocket. Maybe he shouldn't mess around with Budd... Jake so much. He did good work getting them the cloak, the raw mesh, and the leather armor for 100 caps.
  399. [00:34] * Jake_Juice "Sounds reasonable enough old timer."
  400. [00:34] <TenMihara|GM> The odler timer corrects himself and adjusts his glasses upon seeing the additional leather armour; "360."
  401. [00:35] * Purple_Kay gets out another 60 caps. "So, about a workbench, you know of any around for use?"
  402. [00:36] <TenMihara|GM> The Old Timer nods; "Ah got 'un, yeah. Yeh've been Good Customers, so you can use it so long as ya don't break anything." He saunters over to the side of the store and shifts some clutter on top of the workbench, which had been used like any other display shelf.
  403. [00:36] * Jake_Juice nods, his work here seemed to be done.
  404. [00:38] * The_Batmare "Is there where you plan to preform your work?"
  405. [00:38] * Purple_Kay head over to it. "Excellent. Do me a favor, Juicy, head over to the barracks and see if they have a couple more of those cloaks? I'll get workin on Bat's cape first."
  406. [00:39] * Jake_Juice nods "Sure thing." he trots out and heads to the barracks.
  407. [00:41] * Seaspray is now known as Hoard
  408. [00:41] * Purple_Kay looks over to the Barmare. "Yeah, I'll start with your cape. I'll need to take measurements, but I can do that over your suit, it's tight enough I can compensate. You can have Jake bring me your suit a bit later." He gives her his blanket and gets to work.
  409. [00:42] * The_Batmare nods and takes the blanket, "Why do you need measurements?"
  410. [00:43] * Jake_Juice opens the door to the barracks and looks around for someone to barter with.
  411. [00:44] * Purple_Kay "It fits fine now, I'm going to make it fit great. Nothing fits perfect without being fitted. Forgefire always said any armor worth fitting was worth fitting right. I can fudge it if that would make you more comfortable, but if you want to get the full benefit from the work, I'll need measurements."
  412. [00:45] * The_Batmare "I thought you were just modifying my current armour?"
  413. [00:46] * Purple_Kay "Yes, I am modifying and fitting your current armor."
  414. [00:47] * The_Batmare doesn't understand. "Oh...kay."
  415. [00:49] * Purple_Kay "Good, won't take but a minute." He grabs a length of tripwire from his saddlebag. He uses the string to get a multitude of measurements. He transfers the lengths to the table where he will measure them later.
  416. [00:50] * The_Batmare finds this very awkward
  417. [00:50] <TenMihara|GM> Standing outside the guard office is the nasty looking scarred mare.
  418. [00:51] * Razor waits
  419. [00:53] * Purple_Kay "Just need the inseam..." He sees how awkward the whole thing is for her. "Well, I can do without the inseam. You're done. Have Jake run me your suit when you can. I've got work for hours." He turns over to the old stallion. "Say, you said the caravan was late, how late?"
  420. [00:53] <TenMihara|GM> The buck nods; "SHoulda been here early this mornin'. Never showed."
  421. [00:54] * Purple_Kay talks while he works. "Happen oftern? Some caravaneers don't hold punctuality in high esteem."
  422. [00:54] * Jake_Juice trots over to the mare and holds out his hoof in greeting "Afternoon darlin', was wondering if yah happened to carry any mesh armored cloaks in your armory that yah may be sellin'?"
  423. [00:54] * The_Batmare "Uh, yes, I will.. be..." She walks out the door shaking her head
  424. [00:55] * Purple_Kay looks over to Razor. "You don't have to stick around, Kid. I'll be awhile. Leave your armor and have some fun if you want. Just... not too much fun."
  425. [00:56] <TenMihara|GM> The mare looks at Jake with a raised eyebrow; "Do we look like we got cloaks as part of our uniform?"
  426. [00:56] <TenMihara|GM> The buck shakes his head; "Ah shuld tink nae. Caprice's Sister Bottlecap runs tings perdy tight down dere."
  427. [00:58] * Jake_Juice blinks "Well... no, guess not. Just uh... nevermind then. Sorry for buggin' yah." he turns around to head back.
  428. [00:59] * Razor feels considerably less safe walking around Flank without armor than she would walking around Chapel. "Don't exactly feel safe bein' exposed."
  429. [00:59] * The_Batmare finds Jake_Juice
  430. [00:59] <TenMihara|GM> The Scarred mare doesn't seem to like anyone. Double Tap snickers and trots up next to Jake_Juice while coming down the strip on his rounds; "Musta said something pretty nasty to her to get that kinda attitude. What was it, 'hello'?"
  431. [01:00] * Purple_Kay "Well, hop out of it and I'll work on it first. You'll just have to suffer my company."
  432. [01:01] * Jake_Juice blinks, then chuckles "Yeah, something like th-" he blinks at The_Batmare and chuckles "Took PK up on his blanket offer huh?"
  433. [01:01] * Razor nods, before wiggling her way out of her armor.
  434. [01:02] <TenMihara|GM> Double Tap raises an eyebrow at the blanketed Batmare, then shrugs it off; "Yeah, her parents should -not- have named her Sunshine."
  435. [01:03] * Jake_Juice chuckles "Yeah... she's quite the charmer, that's fer sure."
  436. [01:03] * Purple_Kay starts working on Razor's armor. "So, Kid, how'd you end up in Flank anyway?"
  437. [01:03] * The_Batmare "Yes, I need you to take my costume to him. I shall return when that is completely." She Teleports to the top of the nearest building leaving her costume on the ground below.
  438. [01:05] <TenMihara|GM> Double Tap blinks as The_Batmare departs; "Um... okay then. Well, don't let Sunshine rile you too much; she doesn't seem to like anyone. Maybe I can help."
  439. [01:06] * Jake_Juice blinks, then picks up her costume "Alright then hun'..." he looks back at Double Tap "Heh, well was just wonderin' if yah happened to have any of them mesh armored cloaks."
  440. [01:06] * The_Batmare hides on the roof tops and is careful not to be seen
  441. [01:06] * Razor sits next to Kay, watching him work. She doesn't answer right away. "Well... Flank's a big place. Seemed a good place to get started."
  442. [01:07] <TenMihara|GM> Double Tap shakes his head; "Afraid not. You could try Pop's place down the street if you haven't already, or head down to Megamart. Although, the caravan from there that was supposed to come today never showed up, so there might be some trouble."
  443. [01:07] <TenMihara|GM> A bird flies overhead and sees The_Batmare sans costume
  444. [01:08] * Purple_Kay "Started with what?"
  445. [01:08] * The_Batmare is covered in a blanket. Maybe it was one of those rare x-ray birds
  446. [01:09] * Razor only says, "The Reapers."
  447. [01:10] * Jake_Juice smirks "Thanks, was actually headin' back over to the old timer's store, he had most of what we needed."
  448. [01:10] <TenMihara|GM> Double Tap nods; "You just need the mesh for something, or using them as supplements to your armour?
  449. [01:10] <TenMihara|GM> "
  450. [01:13] * Jake_Juice "Just supplements really. Mechanic is fixing and improving our armor."
  451. [01:13] <TenMihara|GM> Double Tap nods; "I find them to be cumbersome to be honest. I prefer mobility when it comes to gunfights. Better not to get hit at all."
  452. [01:14] <TenMihara|GM> The Old Buck (Pop apparently), lays back in his chair and snoozes. He lets Purple Kay knwo that there would be shit to pay if he tried to steal anything.
  453. [01:14] * Purple_Kay quirks an eyebrow. "Why? They're a brutal bunch, always in danger of somepony trying to knock them off and take their place."
  454. [01:15] * Jake_Juice nods "Heh, I hear yah there. I'm used to it really, I kinda have to be alive to make sure everyone else stays alive."
  455. [01:15] * Razor gives Kay a long look. "Yeah, and I wanna knock one off, and take their place."
  456. [01:17] * Purple_Kay "It could be a short, paranoid life. Then again, I suppose there are benefits. He always had plenty of caps to throw around."
  457. [01:18] <TenMihara|GM> Double Tap nods; "Fair enough. So, did you ever find Copper?"
  458. [01:19] * Jake_Juice nods "Sure did, saved her from raiders. She's with her sister in Chapel... she's not in good shape, but she'll heal with time."
  459. [01:20] * Purple_Kay "He's come into town, throw his caps around, never said a word. Good customer though, plenty of repeat business."
  460. [01:21] * Razor gives Kay a curious look. "He?"
  461. [01:21] <TenMihara|GM> Double Tap nods; "Good. Caprice really fancies her."
  462. [01:23] * Jake_Juice nods "I'm just glad we could help. Well it was a pleasure talkin' to yah Tap, but I should get The_Batmare's suit to PK before she goes insane or something from not havin' it on."
  463. [01:24] * Purple_Kay "This Reaper that used to come around. Very particular about his armor. Always insisted on Forgefire working on it herself. Guess he needed freedom of movement for the funky fighting stance he used. Oddest looking thing I ever did see."
  464. [01:25] <TenMihara|GM> Double Tap ndos; "Alright then, take care. And if you do head to Megamart, see if you can find out what's gone wrong. Caprice is gonna have Bottlecap's head if she misses another shipment."
  465. [01:26] * Razor is interested to know more. "Did you know his name?"
  466. [01:27] * Jake_Juice nods "I'll check into it for yall if I get the chance. Have a good one." he trots back into the store and hooves PK The_Batmare's armor. "Here yah go PK."
  467. [01:28] * Purple_Kay looks over at Jake. "Thanks, any luck with the cloaks?"
  468. [01:30] * Jake_Juice shakes his head "Unfortunately no. They don't have any."
  469. [01:33] * Purple_Kay "Oh well. Check back later. " He turns back to his work, his train of thought slipping back on the tracks. "His name? I mentioned he didn't talk. You just, ya know, knew him. A stallion that can move like that in tempered steel plate? Not a pony you forget, or question for that matter."
  470. [01:34] * Hoard is now known as King_Sombra
  471. [01:34] * King_Sombra is now known as Sombra
  472. [01:34] * Jake_Juice shrugs and sits down nearby, listening to PK and Razor's conversation while Jake's player brbs for a minute.
  473. [01:37] * Razor has to think for a little bit, but she eventually comes up with a pretty good idea of who it is. "So... anything else you can tell me about him?"
  474. [01:40] * Purple_Kay "If he wasn't paying me, I wouldn't have gotten within eyesight of him. Begs the reason, why do you want to be a Reaper? Is it a strength thing? There are safer ways to prove your strength."
  475. [01:47] * Purple_Kay "I meant it, I don't want to bury you. You take enough risks without gunning for the toughest group to ever run roughshod over the wastes."
  476. [01:49] * Razor takes much longer to answer this time. "...It's not just about proving I'm strong." She hesitates. "I have personal reasons, too."
  477. [01:53] * Purple_Kay puts down his tools for a moment and looks at Razor straight on. "I had personal reasons for going after the ponies that ended up doing this to me." He points to his forehead. "The Wasteland has a way of bringing down those who chase vendettas."
  478. [01:56] * Razor doesn't really know how to answer that. She settles for a very defensive, "Do you really wanna know? /Really/ want to know?"
  479. [01:56] * Purple_Kay "I do."
  480. [01:57] * The_Batmare now pronounce you man and insane-wife
  481. [01:58] * Purple_Kay looks at her with honest eyes and stilled hooves. His full attention devoted to her.
  482. [02:01] * Razor sighs. She still hesitates, but eventually gives in. "I want to find out who took my mother."
  483. [02:03] * Purple_Kay blinks... he wasn't expecting that kind of motivation. "How do the Reapers factor in?"
  484. [02:07] * Razor gives him a long, hard look. "When a Reaper asks, everypony listens... or they don't get to listen to anything ever again."
  485. [02:09] * Razor looks away. "...And besides... she'd want me to have the best I can get. And I ain't gonna get much else better."
  486. [02:10] * Purple_Kay gives an almost imperceptable nod. "Well, I imagine she would want you happy. Reaper or no, I'll help you any way I can."
  487. [02:12] * Razor nods. "I won't stop... and won't give in."
  488. [02:13] * Purple_Kay "Family is the most important thing. I wish..." He stops and turns back to his work.
  489. [02:13] * Purple_Kay "Family was important to me."
  490. [02:16] * Razor lies down, head resting on her hooves. "She was always there for me... but I wasn't there for her, when she needed me most."
  491. [02:17] * Sombra is now known as Hoard
  492. [02:21] * Purple_Kay "I'm sure she was thankful you were somewhere else."
  493. [02:22] * Jake_Juice looks over Purple_Kay's shoulder "You get her stuff done yet?"
  494. [02:23] * Razor just sort of lies there for a while. She needs to think.
  495. [02:24] * Purple_Kay looks over to Jake. "It might be an hour or more still. I'll let you know as soon as I get her suit finished."
  496. [02:24] <TenMihara|GM> Three hours have somehow passed while peopel were talking
  497. [02:25] * Purple_Kay has now finished.
  498. [02:26] * Purple_Kay he hoofs over the Barmare's gear to Jake before looking down at Razor. Over the time it took to finish she has fallen asleep.
  499. [02:28] <The_Batmare> A brightlight appears, grabs te costume and vanishes before anyone can see what it was
  500. [02:28] <TenMihara|GM> The old buck is sound asleep in his chair
  501. [02:30] * Purple_Kay stows the rest of the gear before moving over to Razor. He considers waking her up, but instead decides to scoop her up oh his back and head toward Rooms to buy a place for the night. As he walks through Flank a song from a world away and lifetime ago creeps into his head.
  502. [02:30] * Purple_Kay Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
  503. [02:30] * Purple_Kay Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
  504. [02:30] * Purple_Kay Dreams of peace and of freedom
  505. [02:30] * Purple_Kay So smile in your sleep, bonny baby
  506. [02:31] * Jake_Juice eventually goes to his room and efficiently depletes himself of electroylytes.
  507. [02:32] * The_Batmare has her new gear and sleeps on a rooftop. She idly wonders where the day went as her player goes and passes out.
  508. [02:34] * Razor is asleep.
  509. [02:35] <TenMihara|GM> The group gets a couple of Rooms at... Rooms. Word has spread about what they did for Caprice and Doc Silver, and they aren't charged for the night
