FoE PnP Group Time Thief Session 5

[21:06:46] <Roulette> Tick tock tick tock. The sound of the clock.Listening to this makes everyone Drop.
[21:07:47] <Roulette> I left my heros in the dark of night outside of what seems to be a factory of raiders. They already had dispatched too thanks to Frag and Edge's skill.
[21:09:37] <Roulette> Even with the sound of gunfire no pony could be heard other than the group. Was it due to the little bit of information from a drunken now dead raider that their 'boss' was away at that time or maybe they laid in wait? Who knows , only time will tell
[21:09:43] <Roulette> ___________________________________________ Begin
[21:12:23] Caramel_Cream watches Frag and Edge work through her scope, impressed they took them both down quietly. She scans the immediate area for more raiders that would stumble upon the pair.
[21:12:56] <Clear_Cut> "See anything?" Clear whispers to Caramel.
[21:13:40] <Roulette> Caramel :: Her scope shows nothing around the Edge or Frag. Seems clear enough. The litten up areas of the factory and road yield nothing out of the normal.
[21:13:59] Cutting_Edge wipes herself off. "Too easy"
[21:16:12] Caramel_Cream shakes her head. "...Looks like the rest are inside. We'll move up." She creeps forward to join them keeping her eyes open.
[21:16:37] Clear_Cut sneaks forward with Caramel.
[21:17:55] <@Frag> "We all good?" Whispers to caramel when she gets near by.
[21:20:46] Caramel_Cream double checks her EFS is on. "...All clear. We should move in quickly and clear out the factory so none surprise us when we collect the generator..." Caramel looks to the entrance with an empty expression.
[21:22:22] <Roulette> Factory:: The gate seems to have hanging skulls of various ponies. The gate itself is infact Manned.
[21:22:55] <Roulette> ::factory gate guard: Seems to be laying inside on the ground with many liquor bottles around him seems there was a party and you were not invited.
[21:25:47] Cutting_Edge shakes her head. "Ponies are being killed and he's having a good time..." She whispers.
[21:26:47] Clear_Cut scrunches his nose at the drunk guard. "At least it makes our job easier."
[21:28:14] <Roulette> Guard :: Sits up looking around for a moment before reaching to one the bottles lifting it up to his lips taking a drink.. of air.. the pony looks it over and looks inside " where has all the rum gone?" he says before tossing the bottle aside falling back into a heep.
[21:28:25] Frag turns off night vision goggles and nods to caramel.
[21:32:17] Clear_Cut turns to Frag and Edge. "So do we have a plan?"
[21:33:54] Frag draws his knife out. "Lets take him out quiet and hide the body."
[21:34:51] Caramel_Cream waves a hoof at Frag. "After you...sir."
[21:35:27] Cutting_Edge nods. "I don't even think we need to hide the body"
[21:38:07] Frag sneaks to the lazy guard accidentally knocking a few bottles over, but thankfully the bastard was drunk off his ass. Grabs the guard and slits his throat. "Never drink on the job fucker." he whispers.
[21:40:55] <Roulette> Guard : Awakens to gargling on his own blood and begins to thrash about making lots of noise breaking near bottles before falling dead to the floor.
[21:41:53] <@Frag> "damnit." he whispers to himself pissed off. I'm too old for this shit he thinks to himself.
[21:42:00] Caramel_Cream [[email protected]] has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[21:42:52] Cutting_Edge shakes her head. "Shoulda just went straight through the temple"
[21:43:07] <Roulette> Voice :: " Shut the fuck up out there you Drunk " this voice echos out a upper window of the factory , but no figure emerges.
[21:44:01] Caramel_Cream_ winces at each of the little noises. "Seems we got lucky..." She creeps forward taking the lead and moving for the door.
[21:44:36] Frag looks around for a way to cut the power. Darkness is his best friend.
[21:46:15] <Cutting_Edge> "Best of luck I suppose..."
[21:48:04] <Roulette> Frag and others :: The gate you came through lead into a courtyard , the main factory is 100 or so feet away from them , the wall around the building is made out of cement and rebar , sturdy. The factory itself is in good shape not the best. A few lights shine from windows , seems this place had power supplied to it. Frag:: Would notice cords leading to a large solar generator
[21:54:29] Frag looks to caramel. "Kid I need you to cut power. Go to the generator and kill the lights."He whispers to her.
[21:55:13] Caramel_Cream_ moves as quietly through the courtyard as she can up to the generator. She looks for an access panel or terminal to shut down the generator.
[21:58:11] <Roulette> Caramel + SolarGen :: Caramel finds a small terminal with just a key inside it as well as a button indicating it was on. The cords that ran inside seemed to unplug easy as well.
[21:59:16] Caramel_Cream_ smilies. Well that was easy. She grabs the cord with her mouth and tugs them out to kill the power.
[21:59:25] <Cutting_Edge> "And what's so hard about killing ponies in the daylight?
[21:59:27] <Cutting_Edge> \"
[22:01:37] Frag turns on his night vision goggles. Three green glowing dots appear."Darkness reveals ways to catch your enemy off guard. That and it's more fun this way." A big grin grows across his face.
[22:01:42] <Roulette> Cord : Pulls free with a small indication of sparks. Lights begin to flicker a bit slowly powering down. Loud hoof steps can be heard as a near door opens " You drunken fuck you suppose to stay away from the cords......" The raider pony is now within feet of caramel.
[22:05:15] Caramel_Cream_ bites down on the trigger bit as she is surprised by the sudden horrific looking raider. She fires twice.
[22:05:22] Cutting_Edge sighs. "It was probably a bad idea to do that"
[22:07:39] <Roulette> The raider is hit by Caramels shots and falls to his knees watching her as he spoke " fucking Bitch" he then began to reach for his pistol at his side.
[22:12:03] Cutting_Edge rushes forwards drawing her knife and stabs at the raider pony a few times. "Ah, ah, ah!"
[22:12:43] Clear_Cut starts to run to Caramel, but quickly trips, and lands on his face.
[22:14:09] <Roulette> Edge + Raider : The knife enters the raider easily as he begins to spew blood watching Edge the whole time being stabbed before the last stab went in, his fuck you to her he spit his blood and fell to the ground dead.
[22:17:06] Cutting_Edge wipes her blade off on the raider. "Well don't try and shoot my comrades"
[22:19:52] Caramel_Cream_ sighs in relief as the raider goes down. That raider came out of nowhere! "Wow...your amazing Edge." She smiles and looks for more raiders.
[22:20:16] Frag facehoofs. These ponies have no idea what stealth is he thinks.
[22:20:22] Clear_Cut slowly gets up, blushing and frowning.
[22:21:00] <Cutting_Edge> "Thank you, I earned my rank back in the war. Not smooshed my way there" she states.
[22:21:54] <Roulette> Ones Who pass : They can hear the sound of hoof steps behind them at the gate. Turning to notice BRASS!
[22:22:26] <Clear_Cut> "Brass! You're back."
[22:22:51] Brass_Tacks smiles and waves. "Oh hello everyone. I am indeed. I just took a bit of time traveling by myself is all."
[22:23:18] <Cutting_Edge> "It seems she has returned.... I thought she went to resume her simple life. No matter." Cutting puts her knife back.
[22:24:50] <Brass_Tacks> "Anything but the sort Edge." She looks around. "Oh shoot. Demi please show yourself. I'd rather you actually meet my companions."
[22:25:38] Caramel_Cream_ blinks. "Schmoozed...but i didnt..." She looks away embarrassed to Brass. "Demi?"
[22:26:20] <Roulette> A silver earth pony slowly emerged from behind Brass. The male wore a black tac vest and a backpack with a large sword hooked to the back of his vest. His coat was silver in color his mane matched but had a few green streaks in it. His eyes too emerald in color.
[22:28:04] Brass_Tacks smiles. "This is Demi. I met him not but a day ago. He helped me out of a storm. He wanted to come with me on our quest." She smiles to everypony, before giving a subtle wink to Caramel_Cream_.
[22:28:43] Clear_Cut looks at the new earth pony. "Well, that's very generous of him. Hello Demi."
[22:29:08] <Clear_Cut> "I'm Clear Cut. I'm acting as the medic for this group right now."
[22:29:45] Caramel_Cream_ can feel the blood rushing to her cheeks from the wink. She gives a small wave to the new pony. "C-caramel Cream."
[22:30:37] <Roulette> Demi's eyes shift to the new pony and he backs up abit before nodding a bit to Clear. 'Back away slowly' was his reaction looking to the others as he looked down adjusting what seemed to be armored wraps over his front hooves. He glanced up at Caramel for a moment just to nod to her as well.
[22:31:30] Frag stares at the new pony. The silver triggers a memory in Frag of a pony.He bites his lower lip resisting to strangle the new pony for looking like him.
[22:32:13] Brass_Tacks smiles and takes out the gem. "Demi also taught me how to use this gem to it's powers."
[22:32:14] <Cutting_Edge> "I am Cutting Edge. Formerly part of the Sky Guard stationed at Cloudsdale" She explains standing straight.
[22:34:14] <@Frag> "If you don
[22:34:47] <@Frag> "If you don't mind we have to do the chit chat latter." He says to everypony. "There might be more of them around here."
[22:35:28] <Roulette> Demi was stepping in place but stopped lowering his head bowing abit. But instead of speaking he took off running near Edge and Caramel jumping above them, his head silted grabbing hold of his sword free from its sheath landing behind the two swinging the katanas blade in the air behind the two. He stood there watching the air but for what... crazy pony.
[22:36:33] Brass_Tacks blinks a few times, looking around. "More of who?"
[22:36:58] Caramel_Cream_ eeps and ducks out of the way of the crazy pony charging and leaping at her with a big sword!
[22:37:15] Clear_Cut looks skeptically at the odd pony
[22:37:23] <Roulette>Demi’s blade connects with something as blood spurts into the air.  The shimmering form of a raider, neatly cut in two, fades into visibility.  The raider was wearing a stolen pipbuck with a stealthbuck inside.  He was also gripping a knife dangerously close to Edge and Caramel.
[22:38:30] <Cutting_Edge> "...right..."
[22:39:55] Brass_Tacks smiles. "See. Seems he's rather capable."
[22:40:10] <Clear_Cut> "... Oh my."
[22:40:20] Cutting_Edge blinks deadpan. "...right..."
[22:40:23] <Roulette> Demi turns looking at the others and hung his head walking back over to Brass turning around facing them.
[22:41:47] Brass_Tacks smiles and lightly pats Demi's head. "So then, where are we headed?"
[22:45:06] Cutting_Edge looks around. "To take the generator back"
[22:45:43] <Roulette> Generator: Is still there 'on' just waiting to be taken. But no way you're going to be able to carry it.
[22:46:12] Caramel_Cream looks terrified, whether it was from the invisible raider or the fact a pony was nearly cut in two, probably both. "We...need to make sure it's safe inside the factory. Then we can collect the generator for Hanible." She looks to Demi still a little afraid of him. "Thank you...I didn't notice him in time."
[22:46:54] <Clear_Cut> "That sounds sensible. I'm not sure we can just sneakily lug this thing out..."
[22:47:40] Brass_Tacks moves to Caramel_Cream and whispers to her. "He's a very nice pony. He takes care of animals all the time, so don't be afraid hun, okay?"
[22:48:27] <Roulette> Demi glanced up to caramel " S..ooo...rr..y ..I ... Sc..a..red... yo..u" He managed to say to her as he glanced down blushing a bit before moving a few steps behind Brass as if she was his shield
[22:50:34] Caramel_Cream nods. "We'll have to disassemble it and take the pieces. Can't really do that with raiders..." She has to walk around the dead raider with her eyes closed to get to the factory. "I've just...never really seen somepony die like that."
[22:51:32] Cutting_Edge shakes her head and moves out to search the area. "Time won't matter when we are not threatened. If we clear the area we can find a way to move it better"
[22:52:56]<Roulette>[Cart/Foal] As you approach the wooden cart , It is apparent there is an stomach turning odor arising from it. Upon closer inspection you notice wires tethered to four hooks located around the cart holding something in place.

As you move into see what it is you are hit with the blunt of the smell  you feel almost light headed and ready to be sick , but thats not the worse of it.
The scent was coming from a foal that was lashed on either hoof stretched out  as if she had been doing jumping jack.
 Right off the bat you notice bruises are ribboned across her frail looking body  and a deep wound across the foals belly her  guts now skewen over the cart floor. which was giving off most of the foul odor.

The foals bits were exposed to the sky. Obviously she was rapped repeativly due to the tearage of her bits as well as the few lingering toys that remained inside the small female foal. Though you can only see the bottoms of about seven different 'Toys'.
Scattered about the cart along with the foals insides. Were various things ranging from : empty needles , pill bottles, more sex toys , various liquor bottles and even the knife that exposed the foals insides to the outsides.
[23:02:45] Caramel_Cream takes one look at the grisly scene and turns and gallops away.  She only makes it as far as she can hold the contents of her stomach, which is only a few meters.
[23:03:56] Cutting_Edge shakes her head. This was on her top 5 list of 'Most Gruel' for sure, but not top 3.
[23:05:07] <Roulette> Demi was now curious but didn't want to leave Brass's side to go near the others but something made him. " dont follow" he said calmly as he too began to walk over towards where frag stood.
[23:05:50] Clear_Cut marches over to the pony Demi cut up, and starts to pat the corpse down, looking for any sort of identification. "Who in Celestia's name would do this..."
[23:06:30] Brass_Tacks never was a good listener. She trots behind Demi.
[23:06:38] <Roulette> Clear would find nothing to identify this raider pony , other than a pip buck that was slashed in half due to demi.
[23:08:40] <Roulette> Demi approached Frag and looked into the cart before fishing a blanket from his pack throwing it over the foal as he jumped up into the cart crushing a few bottles as he stood over the pont pulling his sword free slashing downwards cutting the foal free. Before jumping down and off seathing the katana mid air.
[23:09:05] Caramel_Cream holds her head in her hooves she has to lie down. She alternates between sobs and heaving, her stomach already empty.
[23:09:07] <Clear_Cut> "Damn it..." Clear glances around for papers, computer terminals, or any other source of information.
[23:10:34] <@Frag> " Get up kid. " He puts a hoof out for caramel to grab trying his best to comfort her not knowing how to help her really.
[23:11:23] <Roulette> Demi moved in tucking the blanket under her moving the corpse of the small foal onto his back.
[23:14:39] Caramel_Cream slowly stands and turns to bury her face in Frag's shoulder. "H-how could somepony do that? It's...its..." She can't really say more in between sobbing.
[23:15:08] Brass_Tacks looks over the corpse, not seeming to have any reaction, he face staying neutral until she speaks. "Who did this." She doesn't seem to ask, she more demands and answer.
[23:16:30] Clear_Cut starts rummaging around the room. "I'm looking. If it was a slaver, there might be a paper trail... I've heard that they like their damn receipts."
[23:17:28] <Roulette> Demi looks to the covered corpse then Brass " More then likely who lives here" he said looking to Brass , why didn't she listen to him?. was she too drawn to it like him. "Want me to bury her?" he asked unsure what to do now she was covered.
[23:18:14] <@Frag> " Welcome to equestria kid." He pats her mane. He looks into her eyes. " This is your job now. You will see worse as time goes on. This is why we need to find him. So that this doesn't happen at home."
[23:18:58] <Roulette> Clear finds a business card with the number 38 on it nothing more.
[23:19:36] <Brass_Tacks> "Please do bury her." She says. "Well. Whomever did this is going to die." She says. "A very. Very. Very Painful death."
[23:20:00] Clear_Cut stares angrily at the card. "38... A damn number." He almost throws it away in disgust.
[23:20:46] Caramel_Cream sniffs and rubs her eyes. "How can anything be...worse than this? It's inequine..."
[23:21:51] <Roulette> Demi nodded to Brass as he began to tuck the blanket around the foal before turning away moving her onto his back now leaving the party , looking for soft soil to dig in to bury the child. First day in wastes and he got to meet companions of Brass and a dead filly. Home was looking nice.
[23:22:01] Brass_Tacks moves and grabs the card, taking it. "It could come in handy. You never know." Her voice carries no melody, unlike normal.
[23:22:57] <Clear_Cut> "I know. I wasn't going to toss it. I just... want to. What does a number even mean, anyway?"
[23:24:21] <@Frag> " It could happen to someone you love." He thinks about snap and hugs caramel tight. "
[23:25:58] <Roulette> Demi emerges a few moments later brushing himself off abit. But he did not near the group fact he sat about 30 feet away just playing in the dirt a bit like a small child.
[23:26:12] <Brass_Tacks> "I don't know. But anything we can find out about this pony is useful." She says looking around. She trots over to Demi and pets him lightly.
[23:28:36] <Roulette> Demi looks up at her but does not smile like he normally would. He just looked back down at the ground " I buried her and gave a prayer... also removed those things didn't seem right to leave them."
[23:28:53] Brass_Tacks nods. "You did good Demi."
[23:30:03] Caramel_Cream throws her hooves around Frag, crying softly. It takes her a few moments but she eventually lets go, her eyes red and puffy. "Thank you Frag..." She takes a few deep breaths to calm down.
[23:32:18] <Roulette> Demi slowly stood up from Brass letting her sit and rest. Next to his pack. Moving over to the cart he began to clean it out throwing everything aside. Before walking to its front and began to pull it abit to see if it was fine.
[23:33:12] Clear_Cut silently broods, holding the business card closely.
[23:34:25] Frag looks at caramel and is shocked he actually helped. His range of emotion goes from hate to rage.
[23:35:18] <Roulette> Demi walks the cart next to the generator with the cart now. He seemed to understand that they needed this. After all Brass had told him little about why she was in the wastes to begin with.
[23:37:10] <@Frag> "No problem kiddo. " Reminds him of being a dad again. Remembering memories of snap. "That's why we need to find ironside. He has my snap and might do that to her." His face twists into rage thinking of that.
[23:41:17] Caramel_Cream_ looks shocked. She gulps down everything and nods determined to Frag. "I won't let that happen...Something like this can't happen again."
[23:42:16] Cutting_Edge snaps back into reality. "It's a calling card"
[23:42:21] Caramel_Cream [[email protected]] has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[23:42:40] Clear_Cut starts. "What do you mean?"
[23:43:32] <Cutting_Edge> "All sorts of groups have calling cards. Zebras are notorious for them. Basically, it's something that says 'I was here'." She explains.
[23:45:24] <Clear_Cut> "Does that mean you recognize the 38 specifically? It seems nondescript."
[23:46:18] <@Frag> "Thanks." He smiles at caramel slightly trying his best to hide that he is worried. "Stable number possibly." He says snapping back into work mentality.
[23:46:26] <Cutting_Edge> "No I do not. It could mean anything. Cloud 38, Warehouse 38, 38 Lights, or just a clue" She says.
[23:47:23] Clear_Cut sighs. "Well... that's better than nothing. I guess I'll ask around when we get back to town."
[23:51:12] Caramel_Cream_ gets up and moves over to the generator. She starts to look over the machine, thinking on how to get it into the cart. She would rather disassemble it as little as possible.
[23:52:33] <Roulette> Demi looks to caramel and watches her while blushing a bit as she examined the machine.
[23:54:54] Roulette is now known as Demi.
[23:56:17] Demi Looked over to caramel and spoke softly " Two or three of us could move it on to the cart." he said looking at the ground when he spoke.
[23:57:00] Clear_Cut_ gets up. "I'm game."
[23:57:14] Frag nods ready to put his strength to the test.
[23:58:37] Caramel_Cream_ gave Demi a weak smile. "Yeah We should all be able to do it." She isn't too strong be she'll help anyway!
[00:01:11] Demi looked to the others and moved from the cart walking near caramel whispering " I buried the foal outside the wall and prayed for her." he glanced over to her giving her a small smile as his head lowered blushing a bit " and dont worry nothing like that will happen to you" he said now scurrying off to the side taking hold of it.
[00:05:49] Caramel_Cream_ doesn't really feel much better. She sighs and lifts the generator with the rest of her companions.
[00:06:44] <Demi> Group : It seems easier to lift having another strong pony there once it was on the cart it buckled a bit but it was fine.
[00:11:07] Caramel_Cream_  puts a hoof on the cart after they finish moving it. "At least some good will come out of this trip...We got the generator. Hanible will have power." She gives the group a smile.
[00:12:22] Demi looks to Caramel for a moment as she spoke but walked to the front of the cart , ready to pull. As Brass too followed him holding his Pack. She seemed off was it due to that foal.
[00:13:21] <@Frag> "Let's go caramel. Suck it up." He says turning back into old frag.
[00:14:46] Caramel_Cream_ trots on after Frag. She pouts. "That was me sucking it up..."
[00:15:41] Clear_Cut sighs again and starts trotting along.
[00:16:02] <@Frag> Gets a grin on his face. " Then when we get back I'll show you what I've seen. That's nothing. I saw a pony shoved in his own ass before."
[00:18:07] Demi Began to walk forwards pulling the cart , Even for being so young it seem he was strong. As the cart began to move forwards slowly at first then fast as he got his footing. He wanted to turn to the others and say you coming but... he just couldn't it took to much just to talk as much as he did to caramel.
[00:19:18] Caramel_Cream_ continues her pout, almost wincing at Frag's story, "I...don't really want to think about anything like that." She trots on past Frag to join Demi and Brass with the cart.
[00:20:22] Demi glances to Caramel as she began to grow close he simply looked down as he walked. Brass seemed to be in her own world walking on the right side of Demi.
[00:21:42] Frag sighs in relief. Can't let the kid get attached. "So why help random strangers demi?"
[00:23:43] Demi looks up and looks around back to Frag and began to attempt to muster words " Be..cause.... it...s ... the...r.i..ght .. thing to do.." he nods a bit going back to looking at his feet as they now left the factory wall , thank Luna the gate was big enough for a cart.
[00:28:59] Frag watches demi closely. Thinks to himself. Too good to be true, no pony will help without wanting something.
[00:30:04] Demi can feel frags gaze but just keeps hulling the cart his head hung so his silver and green main would hang to hide his eyes.
[00:21:36] <Roulette> ------------------ 500 exp
