  1. [12:23] <TenMihara> *****PnP Group 13; Hoofington Sucks; Session 16*****
  2. [12:23] <TenMihara> Farewells
  3. [12:23] <TenMihara> The Wasteland is full of them
  4. [12:23] <TenMihara> Friends and family leaving to find a better life
  5. [12:24] <TenMihara> People getting killed and leaving life entirely
  6. [12:24] <TenMihara> Most times in the wasteland, when somepony says goodbye
  7. [12:24] <TenMihara> they aren't expecting to come back
  8. [12:25] <TenMihara> Those that do make it back are almost never the same
  9. [12:25] <TenMihara> How will our resident wastelanders deal with departures?
  10. [12:25] <TenMihara> I guess we'll find out...
  11. [12:25] <TenMihara> *****Session Begins*****
  12. [12:26] <TenMihara> As we rejoin the Hoofington Wastelanders, they arrive at the old robotics factory where they previously set hoof, hoping to find a missing part and replace some damaged salvage.
  13. [12:28] * Purple_Kay keeps a keen eyey out as they approach. He hopes it is still abandoned from last time, but optimism is rarely a smart move. "Lets get in and out."
  14. [12:29] * Razor is still detoxing back in Flank. ZzzZzzzZZz
  15. [12:30] * Fridge is now known as Logic_Gates
  16. [12:30] * Proverb nods, looking around.
  17. [12:30] <TenMihara> Doc Silver frowns at the snoring. She shouldn't be snoring while medically put out
  18. [12:31] * TenMihara is now known as TenMihara|GM
  19. [12:31] * Purple_Kay waves Wishy and Logic over nearby. "Alright. Last time we were here we had a run in with the security robots, they should be disabled. But who knows who else may have moved in."
  20. [12:31] * Razor isn't snoring! It's an illuuuuusion!
  21. [12:32] <TenMihara|GM> The Robotics Factory main door is still wide open, and the stripped robots can be seen standing motionless exactly where they were left, except for a few that were tipped over or had other parts taken by other scavengers to come by since.
  22. [12:34] * Proverb trots over to Purple_Kay, nodding.
  23. [12:35] * Purple_Kay gives the area a thorough scanning for new traps or signs of current occupants
  24. [12:36] <TenMihara|GM> Bats and Jake Juice move along with the group, but nothing seems to happen. Eventually Purple_Kay comes to a conveyorbelt, presently unmoving, filled with what looks like spare parts waiting to be sorted.
  25. [12:36] <TenMihara|GM> Not only that, but he immediately sees the part he needs amidst the various bits and bobs, as well as plent of other useful components that would probably make Pops happy.
  26. [12:37] * Logic_Gates leans back, looking quite awkward, yet quite content with his purchase. Now. Just where were the meatier folks?
  27. [12:37] * Purple_Kay puts the transistor in a chest pocket and loads down his saddlebag with replacement parts for the ones he kinda broke at Pop's.
  28. [12:38] <TenMihara|GM> Melted them more like
  29. [12:39] * Purple_Kay looks around at the group. "Got it, let's get back. Don't want to waste time."
  30. [12:40] * Proverb nods and follows Kay back out.
  31. [12:40] <TenMihara|GM> Batmare and Jake Juice aren't going to argue with that, and head back to the entrance.
  32. [12:41] * Purple_Kay makes a beeline to the Clinic.
  33. [12:41] <TenMihara|GM> The group makes it back to Flank unharmed. How strange
  34. [12:43] * Logic_Gates waits at the entrance of the city patiently, eating some potato crisps in relative peace.
  35. [12:46] * Proverb waves a wing to Logic.
  36. [12:46] * Logic_Gates blinks as ponies actually do come back. He was starting to come up with a plan on coming back. "'Sup?"
  37. [12:46] * Purple_Kay nods to Logic as he passes.
  38. [12:47] * Logic_Gates waits for them to pass by, then takes up the rear of the group. "Found something not in my collection. This has been rectified."
  39. [12:48] * Purple_Kay cracks a smile. "Don't you mean erectified?"
  40. [12:48] * Logic_Gates didn't get it. "No."
  41. [12:49] * Proverb nods. "Oh, uhm, what I-is it?"
  42. [12:50] * Purple_Kay "Erect-ified, cause it's porn. I assume it's porn. Unless you collect other things too." He manages to shrug while trotting to the clinic.
  43. [12:50] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver has stepped out of the clinic to light another coffin nail.
  44. [12:51] * Logic_Gates blinks. "Oh. A joke. Sorry, I didn't catch it." He gives a forced smile and looks at Proverb. "I also collect statuettes. I make them."
  45. [12:52] * Purple_Kay fishes out a statuette. "That reminds me, you gave me this in Megamart, but I was a wee bit... under the weather. I don't exactly remember what you wanted me to do with it." He hands it back to Logic before approaching Doc Silver.
  46. [12:52] <TenMihara|GM> SIlver looks up; "Sup?'
  47. [12:54] * Logic_Gates blinks. "Um. Okay." He gives it to Proverb. "Hey. I made this for you."
  48. [12:54] * Purple_Kay "Got the part, everything going well with the de-tox?"
  49. [12:55] * Proverb blinks, taking it. "For me?" She smiles.
  50. [12:56] <TenMihara|GM> Silver nods; "Yup, it's going pretty smooth. Might take an extra hour though just to be safe, apparently she had a fair amount in her."
  51. [12:56] * Logic_Gates blinks. "Um. Yes. Didn't you hear me the first time?"
  52. [12:57] <TenMihara|GM> Silver nickers; "And by a fair amount, I mean a shitload. Seriously, how was she standing?"
  53. [12:57] * Logic_Gates chips in. "Anger? Drugs?" He didn't even know who they were talking about.
  54. [12:58] * Purple_Kay nods. "Stubborn contrariness? I'm not surprised, though. I'll get to work on the Auto-Doc, Doc." With that he bustles inside and sets to work... after a quick look to see that Razor is indeed still breathing and whatnot.
  55. [12:59] * Proverb suddenly hugs Logic. "Thank you~!"
  56. [13:01] <TenMihara|GM> Razor is indeed breathing. And somehow snoring
  57. [13:01] <TenMihara|GM> Or is she?
  58. [13:01] * Razor is totally not snoring
  59. [13:02] * Logic_Gates blinks. Contrary to popular belief, he really never had that many hugs in his foalhood. Or a lot at any age. So he really did have no idea what to say here as he stood up rigid and very, very confused. "Um. Thanks?"
  60. [13:05] * Purple_Kay works on installing the new transistor in the cramped Auto-Doc. He contemplates why everything has to be so tight.
  61. [13:06] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay manages to successfully install the new part and the things starts humming a bit.
  62. [13:07] * Purple_Kay pulls himself out of the machine and stretches. "All done."
  63. [13:09] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver steps back inside and nods; "Nice." She moves over to her supply shelf and passes him a healing potion; "For your trouble."
  64. [13:10] * Purple_Kay stows it away. "Thanks, Doc. We appreciate it." He crosses over to Razor and brushes a bit of mane from her face... or tries to. "Damn, Kid... when was that last time you did anything with this?" He looks over to Doc Silver. "Say, Doc, do you have a brush and maybe a clean rag?"
  65. [13:11] <TenMihara|GM> Doc nods and trots into the back, coming out with a brush; "Here. As for the potion, just because I'm a cunt doesn't mean I don't give people what's due."
  66. [13:14] * Purple_Kay sets to work brushing out Razor's mane. Once it's out of her face he takes out a clean rag, wets it from his canteen, and starts cleaning the wear of the Wasteland from her face.
  67. [13:15] <TenMihara|GM> Razor probably doesn't even register the brushing and cleaning because's she's right out
  68. [13:15] * Razor is super unconscious!
  69. [13:17] * Purple_Kay continues his ministrations. He internally debates braiding her tail...
  70. [13:17] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver just snickers and rolls her eyes
  71. [13:18] * Logic_Gates looks around while inside the building. He's seen places like this in- Well. No. Not really, come to think. "Um. What's, uh. What's going on?"
  72. [13:19] <TenMihara|GM> Silver looks to Logic Gates, then back to Kay; "Who's the kid?"
  73. [13:19] * Purple_Kay uses his skills to work a rather elaborate braid into her tail. It's an aggressive looking pattern. She might need help getting it out if she doesn't like it. Oh well.
  74. [13:20] * Logic_Gates smirks. "I think he's busy."
  75. [13:20] * Pony_71723 is now known as Proverb
  76. [13:20] <TenMihara|GM> Silver shrugs; "Well then, who are you?"
  77. [13:21] * Purple_Kay doesn't turn from his work, but responds. "That's Whiz... or Giggy... I haven't settle on a nickname yet."
  78. [13:22] <TenMihara|GM> Silver snickers
  79. [13:23] * Purple_Kay "Say, Doc, you get all sorts through here, I'm sure. Can you keep an eye and ear out for a yellow unicorn, red mane, vat of melted metal cutie mark, early thirties? She may go by Smelter, a variation, or something completely different."
  80. [13:24] * Logic_Gates coughs. "Also, I'm Logic Gates. Hi."
  81. [13:24] <TenMihara|GM> Silver raises an eyebrow; "Hm? Old friend or sommat?"
  82. [13:24] * Proverb is standing near the door!
  83. [13:25] * Purple_Kay "Could be. Could be her mother. Could be both."
  84. [13:25] <TenMihara|GM> Silvers raises her eyebrow; "Interesting. Alright, if I spy her, I'll let you know."
  85. [13:26] * Purple_Kay "So, Whiz-guy. We ain't really got to talk. How's the porn collection coming? Ya said you had a lead on new material?"
  86. [13:31] * Logic_Gates shrugs. "I checked the stores here. Did find something I didn't previously have, but it was mostly the same."
  87. [13:32] * Logic_Gates looks at Razor inquisitively. "What's with her?"
  88. [13:32] * Razor is still super unconscious!
  89. [13:34] * Purple_Kay "Getting all the drugs out of her system. Not pleasant. Drugs are real rough on a pony. They might give ya an edge from time to time, but eventually you need them to even function..." He sighs. "Ya know, I've never watched a pornographic movie? Didn't want Cherry Sorbet to get me."
  90. [13:35] <TenMihara|GM> Jake_Juice and The_Batmare go off together to do something else
  91. [13:37] * Logic_Gates immediately whips to attention. Purple Kay, consciously or not, had just issued a challenge to him. "What are you into?"
  92. [13:39] * Purple_Kay "No thanks, Giggy. Not my thing. Don't want Cherry Sorbet to get me."
  93. [13:41] * Logic_Gates blinks. What kind of pony would remove his one obsession away from an accomplice of his? "Who is this, and why is she preventing you from watching high-quality erotic entertainment?"
  94. [13:43] * Purple_Kay drops his voice to a low whisper, that still manages to carry through the room. "She owned an orchard before the war. Went bankrupt and had to make bits through other means. She was beautiful, but when the bombs fell, she didn't die. Now she wanders the Hoof as a ghoul, looking for bad young stallions working out their desires with the images of her past. And when she finds them?" He leans in close. "She takes it."
  95. [13:46] * Logic_Gates blinks. "Wait. Hold on. Cherry Sorbet? Like, 'Freakyflanks 2, 3, and 4' Cherry Sorbet?"
  96. [13:47] * Purple_Kay "I ain't seen them, or here, but that's all the verification I need."
  97. [13:47] * Purple_Kay her*
  98. [13:50] * Logic_Gates considers that for a moment. "What does she take? The tape? Sure, she can have it. I made digital copies."
  99. [13:51] * Purple_Kay "No, she leaves the tape, she takes what the tape produced, if you follow me. 'erectified', follow?"
  100. [13:52] * Shadow is now known as Moon_Rock
  101. [13:52] * Logic_Gates shakes his head. "No. Not really."
  102. [13:56] * Logic_Gates is actually quite clueless.
  103. [13:58] * Purple_Kay "You know, the boys, the danglybits, the genetic jackhammer. Wears them strung up in a fetish around her neck."
  104. [13:59] * Logic_Gates sort of gets it. Kind of. "You mean testicles?"
  105. [13:59] * Purple_Kay "The whole package, and by that I mean their whole package."
  106. [13:59] * Proverb is getting some very disturbing mental images. She eeps.
  107. [14:00] * Purple_Kay "And that's why you shouldn't watch porn, a ghoul will show up and steal your penis. Right, Doc?"
  108. [14:01] * Logic_Gates honestly looks more confused than threatened. Although, there is a little of that. "Why?"
  109. [14:03] * Purple_Kay stops braiding a second and raises a hoof to his chin. "Hmm... Hadn't really thought about it. Guess it is just what ghouls do. Maybe seeing reminders of her lost beauty make her jealous. I don't know."
  110. [14:04] * Logic_Gates blinks. "So you think all ghouls do that?"
  111. [14:04] <TenMihara|GM> Silver bursts out laughing
  112. [14:05] * Purple_Kay puts on his serious face. "No, not all ghouls are bad. She probably just has a vendetta against dicks."
  113. [14:05] <TenMihara|GM> SIlver is in stitches
  114. [14:07] * Logic_Gates never had his off. "What does my penis have to do with her being in porn?"
  115. [14:07] <TenMihara|GM> Silver clutches her sides with her forehooves
  116. [14:07] * Proverb stares at Silver, shrinking back slightly.
  117. [14:08] <Proverb> "Uhm, i-is sh-she okay...?"
  118. [14:08] * Purple_Kay is now the confused one. "That's... the point... right? That's why porn exists. To give the soldier a reason to come out of the trenches and fire off a few shots."
  119. [14:08] * Logic_Gates shakes his head. "No it's not."
  120. [14:10] * Purple_Kay "Well, I've never seen one, but that's what I always thought they were for. You're the expert." He resumes braiding.
  121. [14:10] * Purple_Kay "If self-gratification isn't the goal, what is?"
  122. [14:10] * Logic_Gates sticks his chest out a little. "To collect them."
  123. [14:11] * Purple_Kay nods his head a bit. "Well, then you are probably safe."
  124. [14:11] <TenMihara|GM> Silver stands up and wipes a tear from her eye; "That was just too hilarious."
  125. [14:13] * Logic_Gates considers it for a moment. "Well. But that is self-gratification in a way, I guess. So, does that mean she'll still be after my penis?"
  126. [14:14] * Purple_Kay "As long as your soldier keeps his head down, you should be safe."
  127. [14:16] * Purple_Kay considers a ribbon and then snorts internally, he digs a bit of wire out of his toolbox and ties the end of the braid off.
  128. [14:16] * Logic_Gates raises an eyebrow. "It doesn't, but the point of it isn't that. I never really saw the point in why it did, not like I'm actually using it."
  129. [14:17] * Logic_Gates cocks his head a little. "Also, why do you always have to talk in metaphor? A penis is a penis."
  130. [14:17] * Purple_Kay "I like nicknames."
  131. [14:17] * Logic_Gates nods. "Oh. Alright." Must be his hobby.
  132. [14:18] <TenMihara|GM> Time passes. Razor's treatment eventually concludes late in the evening.
  133. [14:18] * Purple_Kay is curled up at the head of the gurney.
  134. [14:20] * Proverb is curled up in tight little ball near the door, asleep.
  135. [14:21] <TenMihara|GM> Jake_Juice and The_Batmare open the door to the clinic and step inside. They look a little roughed up.
  136. [14:21] * Purple_Kay looks up from his position curled around the gurney. "You two alright?"
  137. [14:22] <TenMihara|GM> Jake_Juice; "Oddly enough, Yeah actually. Just had a close call with some... old associates."
  138. [14:23] * Purple_Kay "Not a happy reunion I assume."
  139. [14:23] * Logic_Gates is on the side watching the door into the clinic, eventually falling asleep. Maybe if he stays up, he can talk to Cherry for her autograph before vaporizing her if she decides to go off with his reproductive organs.
  140. [14:24] * Proverb murrs quietly, her ears perking as Jake and Bats came back in. She opens her eye and looks up.
  141. [14:24] <TenMihara|GM> Jake_Juice nods; "Not happy, but actually rewarding in a way." He sighs; "I suppose now's as good a time as any to come clean. I originally came out here to Hoofington to get away from some rather heavy debts. I didn't think I'd be followed here, but those guys came to collect anyways. Nothing I could do really, they were all kinds of crooked."
  142. [14:25] * Purple_Kay sucks his teeth a moment. "We all have demons in our past. We need to go erase them? Lotta ponies die in the Hoof."
  143. [14:26] <TenMihara|GM> The Batmare adds; "We dispatched them easily, but the fact that a corrupt organization like this exists cannot be allowed to continue." Jake leans in to Purple_Kay and whispers; "I think she's a little upset abotu not being able to go after the slavers at Paradise, so I talked about going to take care of these guys with her instead."
  144. [14:28] * Purple_Kay nods. "I'd offer to help, but I can't leave the Hoof. Kid here has to find... somepony. Besides, odd as it is, the Hoof is the most welcoming place in the Wastes for somepony like me. Out there, when I walk in a town, foals hide behind their mothers and guards check their weapons."
  145. [14:28] <TenMihara|GM> Jake Juice continues; "They're based in Manehattan, and Razor's got her competition coming up, so we're gonna go take care of this ourselves."
  146. [14:31] * Purple_Kay stands and extends a hoof. "Well, Buddy. I hope you mop them up real quick. Although I wouldn't be sad if you found a safer place out there once you've got your past in order. If your ever around again, find us. Hopefully we'll still be here too."
  147. [14:35] * Logic_Gates would've commented, but was entirely too tired and busy watching the door to give any real input. "Yeah. See you later and stuff."
  148. [14:37] * Proverb tugs a bit on Jake's barding. "Uhm, b-bye then M-Mister J-J-Jake... H-H-Hope y-you t-t-take care of, of th-those ponies w-without too much t-trouble..." She sniffled a little bit.
  149. [14:50] * Purple_Kay moves over to the Batmare while Proverb says her goodbyes to Jake. "Be careful out their Bats. Your life has more worth than you give it." He gives her a quick punch in the shoulder that he lets linger a moment. "Stay safe and dispense justice. But mostly the former"
  150. [14:54] <TenMihara|GM> jake_Juice nods; "Well, maybe once they're taken care of, I can set up my own business. Maybe even start some trade with Bottlecap."
  151. [14:55] <TenMihara|GM> The_Batmare nos to Purple_Kay; "Your concern is appreciated but unnecessary. Justice will always prevail." She bounds off. Jake Juice trots after her a few moments later and points her in the right direction
  152. [14:56] <TenMihara|GM> After The_Batmare leaves, Razor begins to stir
  153. [14:56] * Proverb waves a little, before returning to the corner near the door, curling back up.
  154. [14:56] * Purple_Kay returns to the head of the gurney
  155. [14:58] * Purple_Kay considers making a comment about how many years she has been under, but decides to stick with a simple, "Hey, Kid."
  156. [14:58] * Razor groans. She feels... disoriented. Kind of terrible, but... at the same time...
  157. [15:02] * Purple_Kay pulls out a bottle of water and looks over at Doc Silver with a silent question.
  158. [15:02] * Logic_Gates raises his head sharply. "'Sup?"
  159. [15:03] <TenMihara|GM> Silver nods
  160. [15:03] <TenMihara|GM> Silver then disconnects Razor from the purging machine.
  161. [15:03] * Purple_Kay unscrews the top and raises the water to her lips. "Here, Kid, drink. Not too fast." He tilts it a bit.
  162. [15:04] * Proverb falls back asleep!
  163. [15:05] * Razor blinks the sleep from her eyes. She reflexively starts to drink from the offered water bottle, still somewhat dazed.
  164. [15:07] <TenMihara|GM> Razor feels better, but drained
  165. [15:08] * Logic_Gates nods off. Stupid penis ghouls. They can wait until he gets up.
  166. [15:08] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver rolls her eyes; "I guess you guys are crashing here tonight. Just don't break anything or wake me up."
  167. [15:09] * Purple_Kay "Thanks, Doc."
  168. [15:11] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver shrugs; "Whatever," then trots into the back and closes the door behind her.
  169. [15:12] * Razor mutters a quiet, "What's going on?" She lifts her head and looks around in confusion.
  170. [15:13] * Purple_Kay "You didn't miss much, Kid. Although Jake and Bats got ambushed by some cronies from Manehattan. They headed off to knock some heads together. I guess Buddy had a bit of a past that caught up to him."
  171. [15:17] * Razor looks at Purple_Kay questioningly. "We can't go yet... what about my fight?"
  172. [15:19] * Purple_Kay "The dynamic duo went on their own. We still have to get you to the Stadium."
  173. [15:21] * Logic_Gates is super asleep!
  174. [15:22] * Purple_Kay rubs the base of her head. "Don't worry. We're not leaving. We've got a contest to win and a pony to find. I'm not going anywhere else." He smiles. "Need anything else? Should probably get some more rest."
  175. [15:28] * Razor shakes her head a bit. "I don't... think so." She lies back down. "I feel... so tired."
  176. [15:31] * Purple_Kay "That's to be expected." He pulls one of his blankets out and drapes it over her. He sets a pack of noodles and another water within reach as well. "Eat a little if you can, then rest." He pulls his second blanket out as he crosses over to Proverb and tucks her in as well before returning to the head of the gurney and laynig down.
  177. [15:35] * Razor frowns and looks at the noodles. She doesn't really feel hungry, just worn. She tries to nibble a bit anyway, though it's probably not much.
  178. [15:35] * Proverb murrs and shifts a little.
  179. [15:36] * Logic_Gates snerks in his sleep.
  180. [15:37] <TenMihara|GM> Before he realizes it, Purple_Kay falls asleep too
  181. [15:42] <TenMihara|GM> And then they all wake up the next morning
  182. [15:43] * Purple_Kay stirs awake, he makes a quick breakfast of noodles and water.
  183. [15:44] * Proverb yawns, opening her eye slowly. She blinks a little at the blanket before getting up. She picks it up. "Uhm M-Mister Kay, i-is this yours?"
  184. [15:45] * Purple_Kay nods as he chases the lst of the noodles with another swig from his canteen.
  185. [15:46] * Razor feels quite a bit better after some sleep on her own terms. She's still feeling a bit worn out, but at least now she doesn't feel absolutely terrible.
  186. [15:48] * Proverb takes it over to him before sitting down next to him, pulling out her own breakfast, which amounted to some Cram and water.
  187. [15:48] * Logic_Gates blearily gets up and unconsciously heads for the terminal room. Since this is, in fact, not the megamart, he finds himself growing quite acquainted to a nearby wall. "Stupid physics." He says, blearily.
  188. [15:49] * Purple_Kay musses her mane before folding up the blanket and stowing it.
  189. [15:50] * Proverb meeps adorably, smiling a little.
  190. [15:50] * Purple_Kay hoofs over the nearly empty canteen to Razor to finish off.
  191. [15:54] * Logic_Gates shuffles out a bottle of Sparkle Cola. Mmm.
  192. [15:55] * Razor takes it to drink. "When are we going? We don't have much time left..."
  193. [15:56] * Purple_Kay "We can leave as soon immediately. Well, I have to drop off some stuff at Pops' shop, but I can take care of that while you all get woken up and ready."
  194. [15:56] * Purple_Kay leave immediately*
  195. [16:01] * Logic_Gates nods. "Okay." He looks at Proverb. "Who's Pop?"
  196. [16:02] * Proverb has no clue! This is her first time in Flank as well.
  197. [16:02] * Purple_Kay "General store owner here. I'll go run those errands if anypony wants to come along. Otherwise I'll leave y'all here to get ready."
  198. [16:02] * Razor nods slightly. "Good! I don't like just sitting around..." She hesitates a moment before testing her hooves as she steps off her perch. She feels a bit weakened right now, though she'd never say so.
  199. [16:03] * Purple_Kay walks over to Razor and takes the blanket she has halfdragged with her and puts it in his saddlebag.
  200. [16:03] * Proverb gets to her hooves. "I-I guess I'll tag along Mister Kay."
  201. [16:04] * Purple_Kay nods and picks up the now empty canteen as well. He trots toward the door intent to stop at the pump for a refill before dropping the rest of the scrap off with Pops.
  202. [16:05] <TenMihara|GM> The Pump yields four more portions of Dirty Water
  203. [16:05] * Proverb trots quickly after the large purple pony, adjusting her eyepatch a little.
  204. [16:07] * Purple_Kay looks over as he fills the canteen. He glances over at Proverb. "I'm not a doctor, but want me to give that a look? Jake said it should be checked, although I doubt I would really know what to look for."
  205. [16:07] * Purple_Kay thinks a bit more. "Or maybe have Doc Silver take a peek before we leave."
  206. [16:08] * Proverb blinks up at him, and nods. "Yeah, s-sure... let the Doc look at it..."
  207. [16:08] * Purple_Kay caps the canteen and heads to Pops'.
  208. [16:08] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver comes out of the back yawning and stretching; "What's up?"
  209. [16:09] * Razor follows Purple_Kay as well, taking a little extra time to be careful.
  210. [16:12] * Purple_Kay drops off the parts with Pops and heads back to the clinic to get Logic and get Proverb's eye looked at before they head off. It's a long way to the Stadium!
  211. [16:13] * Proverb follows, having to almost canter to keep up with Purple_Kay.
  212. [16:14] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver blinks as she's left behind; "What... just happened?"
  213. [16:15] * Razor is eager to go. She's been looking forward to this for a long time, and it's finally here!
  214. [16:19] * Purple_Kay arrives back at the clinic with the rest of the group in tow, having spent a bit of time at Pops grabbing a few essentials for Logic and replacing the merchandise that got melted. "Hey, Doc, sorry for slipping off, had a few errands to run. Think you can give Proverb's eye and the Kid a quick look before we go? Make sure they are fit to make the trip to the Stadium?"
  215. [16:23] * Proverb smiles a little at Doc Silver.
  216. [16:23] * Razor just wants to hurry!
  217. [16:26] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver nods; "I can look them over yeah."
  218. [16:27] * Proverb steps over to Doc Silver, looking up at her.
  219. [16:27] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver nods; "Alright, take off the patch."
  220. [16:28] * Proverb reaches up, pulling her eyepatch off of her eye.
  221. [16:30] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver nods; "Somepony did a good job cleaning this up."
  222. [16:31] <Proverb> "So, i-it's okay then?"
  223. [16:32] <TenMihara|GM> Doc Silver nods; "Yeah, looks fine for now. Just remember to clean it periodically so you don't get sick."
  224. [16:32] * Proverb nods, pulling the patch back on. "O-Okay."
  225. [16:34] <TenMihara|GM> Silver looks to Razor; "As for you, don't exert yourself until you actually get to the amateur night tomorrow."
  226. [16:35] * Razor rolls her eyes, muttering, "Yeah, yeah..."
  227. [16:37] <TenMihara|GM> Silver glares; "I'm serious. If Rampage or Big Daddy catches you playing in the stadium while not tough enough, they might just cave your skull in personally. Which is better than what Deus might do if they let him otu for this."
  228. [16:40] * Purple_Kay "We'll keep an eye on her, Doc. Thanks again. We'd best be off, don't want to have to set a harsh pace."
  229. [16:42] <TenMihara|GM> Silver nods; "Yeah, best you get there before the thing starts so you don't have to rush. Try not to get killed."
  230. [16:43] * Purple_Kay "Always." With that he turns toward the gate. Time to hit the road!
  231. [16:47] * Proverb lofts into the air above them. Adventure time!
  232. [16:47] <TenMihara|GM> From any time anyone in the group might have looked at a map, they would know that the Reaper Stadium is north of the main road and west of the Core. It's not as far north as the Collegiate's University or the Society's Hotel, and well out of reach of the Steel Rangers
  233. [16:54] * Logic_Gates is on the road again!
  234. [16:55] <TenMihara|GM> However, while traveling around the main road to skirt the core, the group once again happens across an ant hole. Except that now there's abotu a dozen of them.
  235. [16:57] * Purple_Kay stops and hunkers down a bit, looking intently at the ants.
  236. [16:57] * Proverb unslings her Markspony Carbine, hovering above the group.
  237. [16:57] <TenMihara|GM> There's only ant holes presently visible
  238. [16:57] <TenMihara|GM> No ants on the surface
  239. [16:57] * Proverb looks down at PK. "Wh-what is it?"
  240. [16:59] * Purple_Kay "Holes. Ant holes, maybe? Should probably give them a wide berth. We don't need to fight anything if we can help it."
  241. [16:59] * Razor frowns and glances around at the antholes. She doesn't really like bugs.
  242. [17:00] <TenMihara|GM> An ant pokes its head out of one of the holes. It wriggles its antennae in the direction of the party.
  243. [17:00] * Purple_Kay starts looking for a route around the holes that will keep them as far away as possible. He definately doesn't like being only 100 feet away. He would much rather be at 400+.
  244. [17:02] * Logic_Gates just goes ahead and attempts to sidle his way to the side of the ant hill. Not going to bother you, insect. Just leave me alone, and then we're going to be okay.
  245. [17:03] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay can see a way to get around the antholes without disturbing them, while the one that poked it's head out seems disinterested and scurries back underground
  246. [17:03] * Proverb taps her hoof on her rifle nervously, witing for the others to make their move before following.
  247. [17:04] * Purple_Kay points waves the group over and leads them around attentively.
  248. [17:07] * Razor glares at where the ant was and scratches at the ground with her tramplers. She slowly follows Purple_Kay.
  249. [17:07] * Proverb follows them from above, keeping an eye on the ant and ant holes until they were clear.
  250. [17:09] <TenMihara|GM> The group skirts the Antholes without too much trouble
  251. [17:11] * Proverb keeps a lookout for anymore signs of trouble as the head onwards towards the Arena.
  252. [17:14] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb spends too much time watching the ground and a stray bird smacks into her head
  253. [17:14] * Proverb yelps and flails around a bit.
  254. [17:15] <TenMihara|GM> The bird squawks and pecks her in the fact a couple times before flying off
  255. [17:16] * Proverb sputters and swats at it with her hoof.
  256. [17:16] <TenMihara|GM> *face
  257. [17:21] * Purple_Kay "You alright up there?" He looks up while keeping pace.
  258. [17:21] <Proverb> "Dumb bird..." She rubs a hoof on her face where the bird had pecked her. "I'm f-fine." She calls down.
  259. [17:22] * Razor snerks. "Nice job, ace flier!"
  260. [17:24] * Proverb rolls her eye and shakes her head lightly.
  261. [17:25] * Purple_Kay chuckles a bit at them while keeping pace.
  262. [17:29] <TenMihara|GM> Aside from mysteriously empty anthills and random bird collisions, the group's trip to the Reaper Stadium is largely uneventful
  263. [17:29] <TenMihara|GM> The Stadium itself looms into view, a massive pre-war sports area designed after an ancient Pegasi Cloudesseum.
  264. [17:31] * Razor excitedly gazes at the Stadium in all its glory. She feels tense with anticipation!
  265. [17:32] <TenMihara|GM> as they approach the Stadium, the group can see what looks like a small tent city built up around one of then entrances
  266. [17:35] * Logic_Gates blinks and starts feeling rather claustrophobic all of a sudden. He didn't like big crowds all that much, and now he's in the middle of... Well. A town on one of it's busiest days.
  267. [17:39] * Razor is looking around attentively, trying to take in everything! She's started scratching the ground with her hoof again.
  268. [17:40] <TenMihara|GM> An echoing megaphone reaches the group; "Seats for Amateur night are first come first serve. Competetors who want to sign up early may do so at the ticket booth. Anyone looking to place bets must wait until all entrants have been registered."
  269. [17:41] * Proverb doesn't like big crowds either, but it's more of a holycraptheresalltheseponiesidontknowhelp kinda thing. She eeps, and lands near Purple_Kay, almost hiding behind him.
  270. [17:42] * Razor 's ear flicks a bit. She glances around to see if she can spy the ticket booth.
  271. [17:45] <TenMihara|GM> There's a crowd around the Ticker Booth.
  272. [17:45] <TenMihara|GM> Ticket*
  273. [17:46] * Logic_Gates waits in line and starts acting strangely reserved and quiet.
  274. [17:47] * Purple_Kay tries to determine if there is a rhyme or reason to the ticket booth, or if he just needs to shoulder his way in.
  275. [17:47] <TenMihara|GM> There's a sign and some markers pointing applicants towards a separate booth. Right now, the main ticket booth is closed, there's no line, just people waiting in tents for the following morning
  276. [17:48] <TenMihara|GM> As the group passes by, a number of spectators look the group over. Murmurs pass amongst them as they evaluate who in the group might be competing, and who among them might be worth betting on.
  277. [17:49] * Purple_Kay "Well, Kid. Looks like we go this way." He makes sure to police Logic and Proverb to keep them close. He does /not/ want them getting seperated
  278. [17:49] * Razor heads straight for the ticket booth. She miiiiight be trying to shove her way to the front.
  279. [17:51] <TenMihara|GM> The booth for applicants is filled by a small crowd of applicants. Some of them look like they really shouldn't be here, but some of them look like serious competition. The stallion with the megaphone could be seen standing on top of a box shouting messages over the crowd, trying to keep somethign resembling order. He was wearing Reaper Ponyhide armour and was well armed.
  280. [17:51] * Proverb is practically clinging to Purple_Kay, her eye wide as she stared at all the other ponies. She's trembling slightly.
  281. [17:52] <TenMihara|GM> behind the booth is a scrawnier looking pony who seems like he might be more of a bookkeeper than an actual member of the reapers.
  282. [17:52] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay doesn't see anyone he recognizes
  283. [17:53] * Purple_Kay lets Proverb perch on top of him, one less pony to keep actual eyes on. He keeps Logic and Razor in his view, being somewhat oblivious to others around him.
  284. [17:54] * Proverb tries to hide herself in PK's fur. It doesn't work too well.
  285. [17:55] <TenMihara|GM> As Razor watches the crowd, two ponies glare at each other. One was as big as Purple_Kay, the other as small as Proverb.
  286. [17:55] * Razor isn't watching the crowd anymore, she's trying to push her way to the front.
  287. [17:55] <TenMihara|GM> "Listen Small Fry, I don't give a shit if you got here first, you don't look like you stand a chance, so let a real stallion through."
  288. [17:57] * Purple_Kay whispers as low as he can up to Proverb. "Wishy?"
  289. [17:57] <TenMihara|GM> The small pony snorts; "Watch your mouth fatass. I don't think the reapers could afford to feed you if you got in, so cram it."
  290. [17:57] <Proverb> "Wh-wh-what?"
  291. [17:58] <TenMihara|GM> Razor is stuck behind the two bickering stallions, who are holding up the line. The reaper on the stand seems torn between seeing what they could do and breaking it up
  292. [17:58] <TenMihara|GM> Then, suddenly, the small stallion just disappears
  293. [17:58] * Purple_Kay "As subtley as you can, push the blue lever back toward my tail once."
  294. [17:59] <TenMihara|GM> He reappears on top of the larger stallions back, whips out a large pistol and rams the handle into the back of the bigger stallion's head. The stallion goes down, while the little guy vanishes again, appearing underneath him this time and bucking him upwards. The big stallion flips completely over, and doesn't get back up
  295. [18:00] * Proverb nods, glancing back at the lever, before pushing it slowly back towards PK's tail with one of her back hooves.
  296. [18:00] <TenMihara|GM> The small stallion doesn't appear to have even broken a sweat; "Fucking fatass." He then trots up to the booth and signs his name, then trots past. The reaper looks a mix of bewildered and impressed
  297. [18:01] * Proverb stares.
  298. [18:01] * Purple_Kay finds himself standing over Logic, or at least close, while watching Razor move through the crowd.
  299. [18:03] * Razor eyes the small stallion as he walks away. Once he gets out of sight, she steps forward.
  300. [18:04] <TenMihara|GM> The bookeeper looks stunned by the small stallion then blinks as Razor approaches; "Oh, hey there. You here to compete I take it?"
  301. [18:06] * Purple_Kay looks around the immediate area for a friendly-ish face. Maybe a gambler. Someone to ask the format of this years competition.
  302. [18:07] * Razor nods, and gives a predatory grin. "What tipped you off?"
  303. [18:08] <TenMihara|GM> The Bookkeeper chuckles; "Well, you certainly look like you're going to be decent at this. Do you know the rules?"
  304. [18:09] * Purple_Kay 's ears swivel and he tries to follow the bookkeeper's words. It's what he wants to know too.
  305. [18:10] * Razor gives the pony a wary look. "Rules? What kind of rules?"
  306. [18:11] <TenMihara|GM> The bookkeeper nods; "No drugs, you have supply your own weapons and armour, which you've got covered, and you have to get checked out by our fight Doctor to get the final okay."
  307. [18:13] <TenMihara|GM> The Bookkeeper notes; "Alcohol is allowed if you really want, but that's it."
  308. [18:14] * Razor snorts. "Yeah, alright, fine. Sign me up!"
  309. [18:15] <TenMihara|GM> The Bookkeeper points to a pencil; "Sign your name on the next line down." Looking at the sheet, Razor can see the name 'Flash Step' on the line above
  310. [18:16] <TenMihara|GM> He also notes; "Also, give the name of a beneficiary in case you die so we know who to give your remains and stuff to."
  311. [18:17] * Razor returns with another, derisive snort. She takes the pencil and scrawls her name, and Purple_Kay's (very slowly).
  312. [18:20] <TenMihara|GM> The Bookkeeper nods; "Alright, you can step inside and get checked out. Our Fight Doc's name is Green_Field."
  313. [18:20] <TenMihara|GM> The Bookkeeper calls out; "Next please."
  314. [18:21] * Purple_Kay nudges Logic and trots to intercept Razor. He doubts they will be allowed to accompany her, but he wants to make sure.
  315. [18:22] * Razor drops the pencil and heads inside. She eyes behind her, to see if she can spy anypony else that looks promising.
  316. [18:24] <TenMihara|GM> Razor can spot the small stallion from before, with his radioactive green coat and a purple mane streaked with blood red frosted tips. He's talking to a Green unicorn stallion with a brown mane who is giving him a look over.
  317. [18:24] <TenMihara|GM> The reaper stops Purple_Kay; "Hey, if you wanna go in, you gotta sign up properly first."
  318. [18:25] <TenMihara|GM> Razor can see that 'Flash Step' according to the name sighned, is wearing what looks like an old, beat to shit led device.
  319. [18:25] * Razor probably doesn't know what that is.
  320. [18:26] * Purple_Kay "Figured as much, but figured I'd ask. Guess we'll see her again when it starts." He flashes a smile and turns. "Come on. I figure you probably don't want to explore, so lets see what we can do about making sure we get tickets."
  321. [18:27] * Purple_Kay keeps his eyes peeled.
  322. [18:27] <TenMihara|GM> The reaper shakes his head; "She'll be sent out after she gets checked by the doc. We don't set things up till the night before inside so that it's a surprise for everyone competing."
  323. [18:27] <Green_Field> As she inside she the doctor who is wearing armor under his doctor fatigues. As he turns around he says flatly, "Ok, I just need to do a standard-" noticing her mane, "interesting look with the braid."
  324. [18:27] * Proverb nods, her head peering out from where she pertched on PK's back.
  325. [18:28] * Purple_Kay looks back. "Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Where do they come out after they get checked out?"
  326. [18:28] <TenMihara|GM> The reaper tilts his head towards the exit grate on the other side of the ticket booth
  327. [18:30] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step slips away from the Doctor after his examination and puts his own armour back on. He also picks up his pistol and holsters it. He eyes Razor curiously.
  328. [18:33] * Razor is a little confused, glancing back at her tail to look at it clearly for the first time since she woke up. "... The hell happened to my tail?" She scowls. "Somepony is gonna get it."
  329. [18:33] * Purple_Kay makes his way to a spot he can watch the exit. A little less protective now, he finds himself looking around more. "If you do see something interesting, we'll check it out. Might as well kill some time."
  330. [18:34] <Proverb> "O-Okay..."
  331. [18:34] <TenMihara|GM> A couple more competetors step out of the arena. One of them looks confident, the other one looks disappointed; "Hey buddy, cheer up. Just bet on me and we'll still make a mint."
  332. [18:35] <Green_Field> "Anyway standard physical, you listened to the rules right, you'd be surprised how many idiots come through here that can't follow simple intructions."
  333. [18:36] <TenMihara|GM> The large stallion dubbed 'Fatass' is still unconscious, and the reaper has tossed his body away from the booth.
  334. [18:38] * Razor snorts. "Yeah, I get it. Fine. Just hurry."
  335. [18:39] * Proverb fidgets, looking around nervously from atop Purple_Kay.
  336. [18:41] * Green_Field begins the physical, checking her over and asking basic health questions. While still being thorough, he seems to what to get Razor out as fast as she wants out.
  337. [18:42] <Green_Field> "You're good. I'd recommend sleep and a job that won't get you killed, but who am I to judge."
  338. [18:48] * Razor mutters something about 'mind your own business' before she heads out.
  339. [18:48] <TenMihara|GM> The talking couple of stallions pass by the group without speaking to them. Fatass is still unconscious
  340. [18:50] * Proverb leans against Purple_Kay, murring. "How m-much longer do we h-h-have to be h-here for?"
  341. [18:52] * Purple_Kay looks back over his shoulder and gives her a quick, hopefully reassuring, nuzzle. "We'll find out when Razor gets done. Not sure if we need to camp out here for a chance at tickets, or what."
  342. [18:54] * Proverb looks up at the sky. "Well, I, I, I g-guess I c-could pull a piece of cloud d-down and sleep on th-that, s-so you c-can still get t-tickets..."
  343. [18:54] <TenMihara|GM> The reaper from before steps forward; "Unless you're competeing yourself, seats are first come first serve and there's only about a hundred good ones in the lowest ring. The other four rings can each seat abotu two hundred." If you've got a friend competing, I recommend being as close as possible."
  344. [18:55] * Logic_Gates mutters something under his breath along the lines of cameras and storerooms. "What needs to be done to get us to the front row?"
  345. [18:56] * Purple_Kay "Looks like it's camping out, then. Don't worry, I'll stay up tonight and watch over you all. I even bought a bedroll and blankets."
  346. [18:57] <TenMihara|GM> The Reaper looks to Logic; "Get in line." He points to the tents. At present, it looks like there's enough ponies presently camping out to fill a good chunk of those first 100 seats
  347. [18:57] * Purple_Kay nods and goes to set up 'camp.'
  348. [19:00] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step appears next to Purple_Kay as he's setting up camp; "Hey."
  349. [19:01] * Proverb eeps and falls off Purple_Kay's back!
  350. [19:01] * Purple_Kay unrolls his XL bedroll. "Howdy."
  351. [19:03] * Razor is probably out looking for Purple_Kay by this time. She takes the time to poke around a bit while she looks.
  352. [19:03] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step looks him over; "You competing too, or just the feisty lookin' mare?'
  353. [19:04] * Logic_Gates blinks. Oh. Right. Stupid crowds. He hated crowds.
  354. [19:04] * Purple_Kay turns and faces Flash Step fully. "Nah, we decided to let the toughest one of us compete."
  355. [19:05] * Proverb peeks out from under PK's legs, her mane having fallen partially over her one eye. She stares warily at Flash.
  356. [19:05] * Logic_Gates recoils and tries to find Purple_Kay. He should stand out in a crowd.
  357. [19:06] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step nods; "Gotcha. Thought maybe you were in because, unlike fatass back there, you've actually been in a real fight. Aside from the lump he's probably nursing now, fucker didn't have a mark on him. Big guy use to boistering his way around little people with no real skill."
  358. [19:07] <TenMihara|GM> Green_Field's shift ends and another fight doctor relieves him
  359. [19:08] * Green_Field is glad to finally be done, and not have to process more ponies death wishes... for now at least.
  360. [19:09] * Logic_Gates runs headlong into Purple. Oh. There he is. "Um. Hey. When do we get out of this place? I just really don't like being around all these ponies, it's starting to get me a bit..." Antsy? Twitchy and irritable? "Uncomfortable."
  361. [19:09] * Purple_Kay smirks. "It was mighty sporting to let him off with just a bashing. Then again, it wouldn't have been much sport to down him anyway."
  362. [19:10] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step smirks; "Yeah, plus I didn't want to show off too much before the actual competition. Didn't mind letting the reaper see though."
  363. [19:11] * Proverb brushes her mane back behind her ear. She eeps a little when Logic_Gates runs into PK, backing up to stand next to him instead of under.
  364. [19:12] * Purple_Kay looks down at Logic. "Sorry, Whiz, looks like we're camping here tonight. Want good seats." He looks back to Flash and nods. "Gotta know who to impress. Take him out quick, but not too rough. Going overboard on a pony like that might have been taken negatively. Slick move though."
  365. [19:13] * Logic_Gates looks around, breathing a tad heavily, monotone strangely stressed. "Yeah, sure. Displays of masculinity and optimal genes. Peacock feathers in mating season. Can we go inside somewhere? I want to be inside somewhere."
  366. [19:13] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step smirks; "My specialty. I may not be able to teleport like a unicorn, but my personal trick is the next best thing."
  367. [19:14] * Proverb continues to stare at Flash Step. "Uh-Uhm... wh-wh-what's th-that?"
  368. [19:14] * Purple_Kay "We ran with a unicorn teleportation specialist for a good while, almost thought that was what you were doing, 'cept no magic pop."
  369. [19:15] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step smirks; "No pop, but so far as the competition needs to know, it's magic."
  370. [19:16] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Steps glances around; "Where is Miss Feisty anyways? She seemed like she'd be good competition, and I wanna size her up."
  371. [19:17] * Purple_Kay turns to Logic_Gates, lowering himself down a bit. "You alright? I don't think there is any 'inside' to go into. I don't have a true tent, but..." He hoofs out the two blankets. He then turns back to Flash and looks around. "Haven't seen her come out yet, I'm sure she's somewhere. Should find us eventually."
  372. [19:18] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step frowns; "Lame." He vanishes again, reapparing a few tents down, looking around at other ponies around
  373. [19:18] * Logic_Gates gulps nervously, floating the blanket back over to him and then draping his old crusader cape over his mane. He seemed... Oddly afraid. "Yeah, sure. Glimmerdust and agility. I think she went off to a place. Can we talk somewhere different? Like, a tent or something?"
  374. [19:20] * Razor is looking around for Purple_Kay. The large crowds make it kinda hard to spot him. It takes her quite a bit of time to find him, but eventually she makes her way over.
  375. [19:20] * Green_Field begins moving through the crowd and notices Flash Step, "I'm serious, RadAway, it's 20 caps a pop and would be a great investment for you."
  376. [19:21] * Proverb has stared shaking again, clinging to Purple_Kay once more. "Uhm, wh-wh-what L-L-Logic s-said..."
  377. [19:22] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step looks to Green_Field; "I ain't got a cap to my name until after the competition is over."
  378. [19:22] * Purple_Kay puts a hoof on Logic's withers and rubs reassuringly. "Wishy, do you think you could look around, stay close mind, and see if you can find a few feet of rebar or something similar?"
  379. [19:23] <Green_Field> "So you're skilled enough to join this competition, but not enough to make money."
  380. [19:24] * Proverb nods, very slowly. "Uhm, y-y-yeah..." She releases Purple_Kay, and takes to the air.
  381. [19:25] * Purple_Kay keeps an very close eye on her from the ground.
  382. [19:26] * Proverb starts scouring the ground below for some rebar or something similar.
  383. [19:27] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step glowers; "That ain't your business doc." He blinks away again.
  384. [19:28] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb can find a pole from what looks like an old sign.
  385. [19:28] * Razor trots over to Purple_Kay. "The hell did you do to my tail?"
  386. [19:29] * Proverb swoops down to it, looking around quickly before trying to pick it up.
  387. [19:30] * Purple_Kay looks from following Proverb to Razor. "Um... Medical necessity."
  388. [19:31] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb picks it up easily. Part of it is bent, but Purple_Kay could probably trim the damaged part
  389. [19:34] * Proverb takes back off, looking around for where PK was.
  390. [19:36] * Razor glares. "What kind of 'medical necessity' was that!?"
  391. [19:36] * Purple_Kay "Well... ya see... a tight braid in the tail increases blood pressure in the rest of the body. Which... facilitiates... a faster blood scrubbing..."
  392. [19:37] <TenMihara|GM> Green_Field hears the phrase 'Medical Necessity'
  393. [19:37] * Proverb ends up flying off in the wrong direction!
  394. [19:38] * Green_Field turns his head and notices, the braided pony. "So it's designed for functionally and not just looks, huh?"
  395. [19:39] * Purple_Kay 's reassuring backrub to Logic_Gates probably gets a bit rougher under Razor's questioning
  396. [19:39] <Green_Field> Notices the*
  397. [19:40] * Logic_Gates winced. Okay, it was a nice gesture to begin with, but now it's a large pony stepping on a smaller one. "Hoof!" He exclaims.
  398. [19:40] * Purple_Kay quickly and sheepishly removes his hoof. "Sorry, Giggy."
  399. [19:41] * Purple_Kay looks back to Razor. "Not only that, it's also a very intimidating pattern."
  400. [19:42] * Logic_Gates looks at Purple Kay. "What's Giggy mean?"
  401. [19:42] * Razor eyes Purple_Kay, not believing that in the slightest.
  402. [19:43] * Proverb flies in circles a few times, not remembering where PK was or being able to him. She lands... somewhere.
  403. [19:45] * Green_Field approaches and says to Razor, "to be fair you actually look like you can win unlike most of these jackasses."
  404. [19:45] * Purple_Kay looks down at Logic. "That is a very good question that deserves an immediate answer. Ya see, you have what, 20 giga-sparks of porn? Gig. Goodish nickname, but not good enough. Needs a bit more. Thus Giggy."
  405. [19:46] * Purple_Kay looks at the new stallion who walked up. "See? He agrees. Intimidating."
  406. [19:47] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step reappears next to Green_Field; "You better not be referring to me."
  407. [19:48] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb lands on the far side of the arena. She can see Rampage talking to a very well built older stallion and a twitchy looking yellow pegasus.
  408. [19:50] * Logic_Gates winces. "Okay, dude? Can you stop that shit? I'm on edge enough as is." For once, Logic is sounding like an equine instead of an equinebot, with inflections and everything. Immature sounding ones, but inflections.
  409. [19:50] * Proverb looks around, eeping a bit as she spies Rampage and the other two Reapers. She drops the pole, looking around frantically for somewhere to hide.
  410. [19:50] <Green_Field> "You could be the thoughest around, but you keep getting radiation poisoning you won't live to see the spoils."
  411. [19:50] <Green_Field> If you*
  412. [19:51] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step frowns and blinks away again.
  413. [19:52] <Green_Field> To the others, "interesting one that one."
  414. [19:53] * Purple_Kay is given a chance to look around for Wishy now that this new stallion has arrived, and does so.
  415. [19:54] <TenMihara|GM> The trio of Reapers don't seem to notice Proverb.
  416. [19:56] * Purple_Kay can't find Proverb in the sky.
  417. [19:57] * Razor scowls as Purple_Kay does other things. She mutters something incomprehensible as she turns to Green_Field. "Yeah? What do you want?"
  418. [19:57] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb can overhear snippets of the conversation; "So, seen any real competitors this year?" "A couple. One of them was that mare I met in toll. There's also that speedy guy Torque saw out front. Dropped a guy three times his size with one hit." "They all look like a bunch of whimps to me."
  419. [19:57] * Proverb zips out of the open to a corner, where she proceeds to curl up, trembling and whimpering quitely.
  420. [19:58] <Green_Field> To Razor, "I find you interesting for some reason."
  421. [19:59] * Purple_Kay "Damn it. Kid, can you stick around here with Logic a bit and hold our spot? I need to go looking for something."
  422. [20:03] * Razor glances over at Purple_Kay. "Yeah, sure. Whatever." She turns back to Green_Field. "So you're gonna stalk me now? Is that it?"
  423. [20:04] * Purple_Kay trots off in the last last direction he saw Proverb in. Looking for her, and also a pole.
  424. [20:04] <Green_Field> "No, I'm just going to ask a question. What do you plan to do when you win?"
  425. [20:05] * Proverb had dropped the pole where she had landed, while she had scampered off to hide from the scary Reapers!
  426. [20:07] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay eventually circles the area and spies the big reaper trio.
  427. [20:08] * Razor snorts. "Things. It's none of your business."
  428. [20:10] * Proverb is whimpering fairly audibly from where she was hiding.
  429. [20:11] <Green_Field> "I just hope you don't need a doctor when you get that target painted on. Though I do want to get out of this hell hole and back to field work."
  430. [20:11] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay can spot her past the trio. Rampage look up and spots him as well; "Don't I know you?"
  431. [20:12] <TenMihara|GM> The conversation amongst the trio stops and they all look at Purple_Kay. Big Daddy raises an eyebrow. Psychoshy looks as pissed and yweaky as ever.
  432. [20:12] * Purple_Kay grins. "Shot ya in the face once, then we took out the bandits in toll. Was good times."
  433. [20:13] * Logic_Gates looks at Razor, looking twitchier than normal. "Razor help. Come closer, I don't like crowds."
  434. [20:14] <TenMihara|GM> Rampage smirks; "I take it you brought Razor here?" Big Daddy looks at Purple_Kay intently; "Burner Boys. One of the big ones a few years back."
  435. [20:14] * Razor eyes Logic_Gates.
  436. [20:15] * Logic_Gates doesn't look all that well. He seems to be rather afraid of large crowds.
  437. [20:16] * Purple_Kay nods to Rampage. "Yep, just got her signed up." He looks over to Big Daddy. "Haven't run with them in a while. Just another pony in the Hoof."
  438. [20:18] * Razor "What's your problem? Suck it up!" She gives a predatory grin. "Show any weakness, you'll get eaten alive."
  439. [20:18] <TenMihara|GM> Big Daddy nods; "I never forget a face, or anything else I see." He seems to be looking through Purple_Kay.
  440. [20:19] * Purple_Kay "I'm actually looking to collect our pegasus that wandered off."
  441. [20:20] <Green_Field> "It's a good idea to get your friend out of here, it's the brave who usually get eaten."
  442. [20:21] * Logic_Gates huffs. "If anyone tries to kill me, they'll become very aware on the matters of botany or the opposite sex. I just want to know where they're coming from if they decide to get that hoovsy."
  443. [20:22] <TenMihara|GM> Big Daddy looks towards the quivering lump of Proverb; "I think she just got lost, then got spooked by us."
  444. [20:22] * Proverb suddenly darts from her hiding spot, zipping over to Purple_Kay. "M-M-M-Mister K-Kay!"
  445. [20:22] <Green_Field> "Does he usually make that little sense?"
  446. [20:24] * Purple_Kay holds out a foreleg and pulls her into a short hug before releasing her and mussing her mane. "We might have to redefine 'stay close' in the future. Ya find something that'll work?"
  447. [20:26] * Purple_Kay looks up at the trio. "Can't say I blame her too much for getting spooked. You are... well... you."
  448. [20:26] * Proverb nods, pointing a shaky hoof at the pole off to the side. She's staring at Rampage, shaking like a leaf, hiding behind PK.
  449. [20:26] * Razor glares at Green_Field. "You asked your question. Why are you still here?"
  450. [20:27] <TenMihara|GM> Rampage grins; "Damn straight we are. Oh hey, that's the one I tried to kill isn't it? She's not as young as she looks, is she?"
  451. [20:27] * Logic_Gates blinks and looks at the stranger. "Who is this pony?"
  452. [20:28] <Proverb> "I, I, I..." she trails off into a squeak, clutching PK's leg.
  453. [20:28] <Green_Field> "I'm a doctor. Are you feeling ok?"
  454. [20:29] * Purple_Kay sweeps Proverb up on his back and moves toward the pole. "Believe it or not, excluding me she is the oldest of our little group."
  455. [20:29] <TenMihara|GM> Big Daddy looks to Purple_Kay; "Chains and Fire." Then to Proverb; "Fear and Lightning." He then averts his piercing gaze and trots off, Rampage and Psychoshy following him
  456. [20:32] * Proverb blinks, thoroughly confused by that.
  457. [20:32] * Purple_Kay scoops up the pole and passes it up for Proverb to hold. He turns and trots back to the 'camp site."
  458. [20:36] * Proverb takes it in her hooves. "Wh-wh-wh-what d-d-did h-he m-m-mean by th-that?"
  459. [20:36] * Purple_Kay talks to Wishy as they near the camp. "So, decided to take the long way back?"
  460. [20:38] <Logic_Gates> /me gets a little closer to Razor. "I'm fine. I don't like crowds."
  461. [20:38] <Proverb> "I... g-g-got l-l-lost..." She whimpers.
  462. [20:39] * Razor mutters, "Get over it."
  463. [20:40] * Purple_Kay tilts his head back and tickles her nose with an ear. "No worries, you're fine now. Look, there's the rest." He picks up his pace to get to camp.
  464. [20:40] <Green_Field> "Well it's good to see he's in good hooves."
  465. [20:41] * Purple_Kay trots up. "Good news. Wishy found a pole."
  466. [20:41] * Logic_Gates grumbles. "I'm Logic. This is Razor. We could use a medic."
  467. [20:43] <Green_Field> "Looks that way. I'd love to join you if it means getting out of this trash heap."
  468. [20:43] * Proverb smiles at PK, looking curiously at Green_Field.
  469. [20:43] * Purple_Kay get out his tools. He hammers the pole into the ground beside the bedroll. He then gets some spikes and drives them into the ground at the corners opposite the pole. He runs tripwire from the top of the pole to the spikes and then fastens the other blanket to it. Instant(ish) leanto.
  470. [20:46] * Razor eyes Green_Field. "So you ARE going to stalk me!"
  471. [20:47] * Purple_Kay 's ears swivel. Maybe brushing her mane and braiding her tail were a /bad/ idea afterall.
  472. [20:48] * Green_Field sighs and pulls out a bottle of Wild Pegasus and takes a small swig before putting it away.
  473. [20:49] <Green_Field> "If you'd like to, I can get you a decent tent."
  474. [20:54] * Logic_Gates nods. "Please do."
  475. [20:55] * Purple_Kay sucks on his teeth.
  476. [20:56] * Green_Field goes off to get a tent from storage.
  477. [20:57] * Proverb yawns, curling up on Purple_Kay's back.
  478. [20:57] * Purple_Kay starts stowing the parts of the improvised 'tent' he'd made as he tears it apart.
  479. [21:00] * Razor is looking around, eyeing the nearby ponies, looking for any sign of possible competition.
  480. [21:05] * Logic_Gates sidles by Purple. Razor was being rather rude at the moment.
  481. [21:05] * Razor is always rude.
  482. [21:05] <TenMihara|GM> Most of the current tent city occupants seem to be spectators. She spies Flash Step hopping around, scouting as well
  483. [21:07] * Razor eyes Flash Step, watching him for a bit.
  484. [21:07] * Purple_Kay stands, items repacked waiting the new doctor's return. He's going to be more upset if the guy doesn't show up with a tent now that he's torn down the improvised one. He looks down at Logic. "Doing better?"
  485. [21:08] * Logic_Gates shrugs. "I'm as I always am."
  486. [21:09] * Purple_Kay lips out a cigarette. It had been days since he last hammered in a coffin nail. He lights it and takes a long, soothing drag.
  487. [21:09] <TenMihara|GM> Flash step eyes her right back.
  488. [21:09] * Purple_Kay "If it's any consolation, this place sets me on edge too."
  489. [21:10] * Logic_Gates frowns. "Thank you."
  490. [21:11] * Proverb appears to have fallen into a fitful sleep.
  491. [21:13] <TenMihara|GM> Green_Field comes back from storage with a couple of puptents that would fit everyone except the massive Purple_Kay
  492. [21:14] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step blinks out, then reappears inches from Razor`s face; "Boo."
  493. [21:14] * Proverb is still atop Purple_Kay, btw. It's probably extremely adorable.
  494. [21:15] * Razor pulls her head back a bit, scrunching her nose. "Don't do that!"
  495. [21:16] * Green_Field lays down to sleep after setting up the tents.
  496. [21:16] * Purple_Kay looks at Green. "Thanks." He helps set up the tents, being mindful to try and keep Proverb level. He has them set up with the entrances almost facing each other.
  497. [21:17] <TenMihara|GM> Flash Step smirks; "Good reaction. Hope you're not the only real competition though." He winks away
  498. [21:18] * Purple_Kay crams his large bedroll in the other tent as best he could and rolls Wishy off in a corner. He motions to Logic. "You too." He hoofs him a blanket.
  499. [21:19] * Logic_Gates coughs and takes a little puptent. "Thank you." He says, swiftly attempting to pop it open. "Thank you." He said to Purple_Kay, wrapping the blanket around himself
  500. [21:20] * Proverb curls up, murring in her sleep.
  501. [21:20] * Razor scowls. "Showoff." She turns to glance at the tents. She's probably the last one to go to sleep, considering how restless she is.
  502. [21:22] * Purple_Kay crosses to Razor and hoofs her the other blanket. "Try and get some sleep, Kid. Big day tomorrow. And sorry about the tail thing, although it does match the pattern on your armor. It's a good look."
  503. [21:23] * Razor isn't really sure about that. She drapes the blanket over herself and continues to try to scope out the competition for quite a while before she manages to finally get some sleep.
  504. [21:24] * Purple_Kay moves her into the groups tent, although it is a little tight, and sets himself up between Green_Field's tent and theirs.
  505. [21:24] * Purple_Kay gets out a bit of busy work and stands guard through the night.
