  1. [12:16] <TenMihara|GM> *****PnP Group 13, Hoofington Sucks: Session 24*****
  2. [12:16] <TenMihara|GM> Worth.
  3. [12:16] <TenMihara|GM> Everything in the wasteland has value
  4. [12:17] <TenMihara|GM> This is mainly because everything that currently exists, is all that anyone has to work with
  5. [12:17] <TenMihara|GM> The wasteland isn't know for its industrial sector
  6. [12:18] <TenMihara|GM> So, whether it's 200 year old food, small scraps of technology, or even the lives of other people
  7. [12:18] <TenMihara|GM> everything can be bought and sold
  8. [12:19] <TenMihara|GM> Especially people, given that they remain one of the few renewable resources in the wasteland
  9. [12:19] <TenMihara|GM> So, how much is a life worth? What will our wastelanders value the lives of themselves and others at?
  10. [12:19] <TenMihara|GM> I guess we'll find out...
  11. [12:20] <TenMihara|GM> *****Session Begins*****
  12. [12:21] <TenMihara|GM> We rejoin our wastelanders the morning after their bottomless drinking session at the Megamart tavern. Purple_Kay, Harmony and Razor all have hangovers. Green_Field, having known when to call it for his and Daisy's sake, managed to avoid this, as did Logic_Gates, who doesn't drink at all.
  13. [12:22] ->> You are now known as Razor
  14. [12:22] * Razor thinks hangovers can go buck a chainsaw. She has more than enough problems without adding /more/ to what her body traditionally rebels over.
  15. [12:23] * Purple_Kay_ is very comfortable in bed. Warm and comfy... and not alone...
  16. [12:25] * Harmony yawns... still sleeping comfortably with her forelegs around her "pillow".
  17. [12:27] * Razor groans. Go away morning. We don't want you.
  18. [12:28] * Logic_Gates decided to go pester Geeky this fine morning and get some "Friendship Fighters" practice in. He briefly wondered if they fought friendship, or represented friendship while fighting before coming to a conclusive "yes".
  19. [12:28] * Purple_Kay_ stirs slightly. He finds his right foreleg snared... and slightly damp. A warm weight pressing against the left side of his chest, his foreleg draped over the warm mass on that side.
  20. [12:30] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky is only just barely waking up and setting up the Collegiate booth, "Oh, hey Logic. What's up?"
  21. [12:34] * Harmony nuzzles her pillow....mmhh... so warm.
  22. [12:34] * Purple_Kay_ starts to absentmindedly stroke the mane connected to the mare laying on his chest, his other leg still pinned.
  23. [12:37] * Razor doesn't have any plans for moving. Moving hurts. She hasn't even tried to get up and she already feels disoriented. Today's not gonna be a good day.
  24. [12:40] * Purple_Kay_ shifts his wet limb to test the voracity of the other mare clutching it. He quickly gives up. Bed was nice...
  25. [12:42] * Razor groans and clings harder as the pillow tried to move out from under her. Stop that pillow. You're making me dizzy.
  26. [12:45] * Harmony hears the sound of a groan and frowns, ears twitching. She slowly opens her eyes, quickly realizing her headache. Ow.... what? She blinks. Purple_Kay... Razor. What. She tries to shift out of the bed without waking the other two, trying to remember what conspired last night...
  27. [12:46] * Logic_Gates makes his way over to the Mortal Konflict, feeling as ginger and spry as ever. "Trying to get to the Collegiate. Trying harder to get something together that would twist their balls into letting me into their club. Do you have 'Friendship Fighters'? No? Eh, alright."
  28. [12:47] * Purple_Kay_ halts his mane stroking and opens an eye. Ugh... haven't actually been hung over in... He starts to shake his head but thinks better of it. He speaks softly as to not disturb Razor. "Mornin' Beau."
  29. [12:47] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy is sleeping comfortably on the bed, snoring rather loudly for a mare of her current build
  30. [12:48] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky blinks, "Didn't... didn't I already say that your new species discover would grease the wheels for you?"
  31. [12:48] * Harmony stops her moving, whispering back softly. "M-morning... Mister Kay..." She looks around nervously. "Why are we... in the same bed?"
  32. [12:51] * Purple_Kay_ thinks a bit on that himself. "Well... you didn't do to well in the contest. And with Wishy off doing whatever, I just didn't feel it would be right or safe to leave you alone in your room considering. So I brought you here." He ventures opening the other eye... mistake... closes it again.
  33. [12:53] * Harmony nods slowly. Ow. Stop. Nodding is bad. "I... see..." She rubs her head, trying to rid herself of this awful hangover.
  34. [12:53] * Green_Field lays with his eyes open a few seconds before relising that he's awake. Part of him missing the familiarity of a hang over, the other part happy he's not.
  35. [12:53] * Razor mutters something that could be a 'quiet down', but comes out as a slurred 'mmmrlphh'
  36. [12:54] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy tosses in her sleep
  37. [12:55] * Purple_Kay_ rubs her head with his free hoof from the base of her far ear to her neck with a firm, practiced hoof. Hangover relief was something he was familiar with. He continues, quieter, "I thought I was going to use your room, but I guess I didn't make it."
  38. [12:55] * Green_Field gets up slowly and begins putting on his armor, remembering yesterday's events.
  39. [12:58] * Harmony sighs in slight relief. "Thank you for your concern, Mister Kay..." She winces, her head still hurting.
  40. [12:59] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy wimpers a bit in between snores
  41. [13:00] * Purple_Kay_ continues his ministrations. "Think nothing of it, it's why I'm here."
  42. [13:00] * Logic_Gates rolls his eyes. "If I wanted to plead for the rest of my experience at the collegiate for what I wanted, I would've gone to them a long time ago. I need leverage and some respect first."
  43. [13:01] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky blinks, "So... you want me to send them your findings?" It was morning for him too
  44. [13:03] * Harmony smiles. "Thank you, regardless. Maybe we should see if Proverb has arrived? If so, she may be in our room..."
  45. [13:04] * Green_Field goes over and gently strokes her mane, wishing it was only in her dreams that she could be in danger.
  46. [13:04] * Purple_Kay_ nods. He opens up so it is easier for Harmony to get out of bed
  47. [13:05] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy jerks awake with a start, looking around. She blinks and calms down quickly when she spies Green_Field. She smiles at him.
  48. [13:05] * Harmony slowly makes her way out of the bed, donning her gear before heading to her previous room, looking for Proverb.
  49. [13:06] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb isn't back yet
  50. [13:06] * Purple_Kay_ takes his free hoof and gently starts massaging Razor's withers, neck, and the base of her ears. It had helped her last hangover.
  51. [13:09] * Harmony frowns, wondering where else she could check... She wanders out to the marketplace while thinking, looking around for something to drink, preferably purified water.
  52. [13:09] <TenMihara|GM> Upon passing by the bar, the tending Barkeep, currently wiping a glass, waves her over
  53. [13:10] * Razor gives another groan. She doesn't want to get up. Today's a 'fuck everything and stay asleep' day.
  54. [13:10] * Logic_Gates shakes his head. "No. I want to deliver this personally. It's just that I would like grease /and/ a lever."
  55. [13:11] * Purple_Kay_ needs his leg back, he pulls it out as gently as he can, or tries at least.
  56. [13:11] * Green_Field smiling back at Daisy, "didn't mean to wake you. Go ahead and go back to sleep."
  57. [13:11] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky blinks, "Ah, okay. So what did you have in mind?"
  58. [13:11] * Harmony frowns... not really wanting to be near the bar that gave her this hangover, but walks over regardless. "Hello, again..."
  59. [13:11] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy's stomache growls and she shakes her head
  60. [13:13] <TenMihara|GM> Berkeep chuckles, "Hello to you too. That was quite a crash you took last night." He fills a glass with tap water, "On the house, figured you might need some."
  61. [13:14] * Logic_Gates leans back. "An intact library, perhaps? Just something so strange, so beneficial to their cause, that they have no choice but to take me to get it."
  62. [13:15] * Purple_Kay_ manages to get his leg back and rolls out of bed. He circles around and tucks Razor back in. He smirks and whispers "Sweet dreams, Champ. I'll come back if we need ya." before gearing up and heading out to check in with the others.
  63. [13:15] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky ponders that, "Well... the Collegiate is based at Hoofington U, or what used to be the university anyways. They restored what they could of the library there, but new books would definitely be a plus."
  64. [13:15] * Harmony smiles appreciatively, taking the water in her hooves and drinking it slowly.
  65. [13:16] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep goes back to glass polishing, "In case you were wondering, that other mare won the contest. Of course, the big guy had a lot in him already."
  66. [13:17] * Harmony nods. "Ah. Thank you for the information. It is all quite hazy right now..."
  67. [13:18] * Green_Field pulls out a fresh apple and gives it to her, "I know the cure for that."
  68. [13:18] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep chuckles, "Well, I'd say it's your fault for trying to enter the contest with a constitution like yours, but I'm none too spiteful like that. That said, you're quite the looker. Might have been better that you passed out rather than being conscious and drunk enough to not know how to say no."
  69. [13:18] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles and noms the apple voraciously.
  70. [13:20] * Purple_Kay_ knocks at Green_Field's door.
  71. [13:21] * Green_Field opens it.
  72. [13:21] * Harmony nods. "Yes, I imagine so. Thank you for the water." She frowns. "Apologies. I have not introduced myself. I am Harmony, by the way."
  73. [13:22] <TenMihara|GM> The barkeep nods and extends a hoof, "Everypony calls me Barkeep."
  74. [13:22] * Purple_Kay_ hides his condition well, dealing with discomfort is his forte after all. "Mornin' Doc. Checkin' in. Will need to fit Daisy in some armor some time today. Can't be pretty dress time all the time. No rush though."
  75. [13:23] * Harmony lightly shakes his hoof. "Pleasure to formally meet you."
  76. [13:23] * Logic_Gates stares at Geeky. "Unless they are truly desperate, I doubt the books I have would give me tuition."
  77. [13:23] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks down, as if just realizing now she was still wearing the dress. She wasn't actually, Green_Field having taken it and the saddle for Purple_Kay to patch up
  78. [13:23] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep nods, "Likewise."
  79. [13:24] <Green_Field> "A great idea save the lack of funds."
  80. [13:24] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky nods, "Well, you could always go look for something they might not have. Hell, if you're lucky you could even stumble across and empty Stable."
  81. [13:25] * Harmony smiles. "If that is all, I think I will take my leave, Barkeep."
  82. [13:25] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep refills the glass of water, "One more should do ya for what I can only imagine is a nasty hangover."
  83. [13:26] * Purple_Kay_ "The armor I have, just need to make sure I fit it right. Stallion wore it last, need to make it comfortable and take off some logos. Anyway, plan to set up the bench in the room and do the mendin' this morning. Just wanted to let you know to send her in and see if you needed anything 'fore I start."
  84. [13:26] * Harmony takes the glass and drinks it as slowly as the first. "Yes, that is appreciated. And now I will take my leave, thank you again, Bartender." She turns to leave, unless interrupted again.
  85. [13:26] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep nods, "Oh, and if you could tell your Big purple Budy to come by and patch the pool table, that'd be appreciated."
  86. [13:27] * Harmony nods as she heads out to find Purple_Kay.
  87. [13:28] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay's posterior is in the doorway of Green and Daisy's room
  88. [13:29] <Green_Field> "The only thing you could do for me, besides lay off the shoulder a bit, is take a look at my own equipment and armor, depending on how much time and supplies you have of course."
  89. [13:29] * Harmony walks to said posterior and clears her throat, trying to get Purple_Kay's attention.
  90. [13:30] * Logic_Gates waves it off. "Did. It was too looted to really be useful. All we found was that resin, these books, a model and..." And that powder. His eyes widened with an epiphany. The powder! He's been looking at the wrong substance to study! "... You're a fucking Celestia-send."
  91. [13:30] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky blinks, "Huh? Wha?" Still morning
  92. [13:31] * Purple_Kay_ nods. "I can give it a quick bit of maintenance, but it looks in very good order as it is." His ear swivels and he looks over his shoulder, the motion not painful! "Yeah, Beau?"
  93. [13:32] <Harmony> "I talked to Barkeep this morning. He was wondering if you could stop by and fix the pool table sometime today."
  94. [13:32] * Logic_Gates bolted out of there like a bat out of hell and into Purple Kay's and Razor's room. "I need the powder."
  95. [13:33] <TenMihara|GM> Razor growls animialistically. Loud noises needed to be stopped immediately, lest they agravate the sleeping tiger
  96. [13:33] * Green_Field going over to his pack, "actually now that I think of it, I have this 20 gauge shotgun I'd like you to take a look at."
  97. [13:34] * Purple_Kay_ "Pool table? Sure, be nice to make some caps." He turns back to Green_Field and cringes. "Ouch, that is a beat up shotgun. I'm sort on parts at the moment, so not much I can do with it now."
  98. [13:36] * Green_Field putting it away, "it'll be here when you can. In the mean time I still have my .357 magnum."
  99. [13:38] * Purple_Kay_ backs out of the door. "I'll go get that table fixed up then head to the room and get to work on the rest. Should be finished by afternoon. Harmony? Mind sticking with the Doc? Rather we not all get spread out too much."
  100. [13:39] * Harmony shakes her head. "I do not mind."
  101. [13:39] <Green_Field> "I'll take Daisy down in a bit."
  102. [13:40] * Logic_Gates stays put and waits expectantly at the door.
  103. [13:40] * Purple_Kay_ gives Harmony a meaningful glance. He meant what he said about being worried about he being alone. He then trots off to the bar to get to work.
  104. [13:42] <TenMihara|GM> Razor's saddlebags are on the floor, if Logic felt like bypassing her and helping himself
  105. [13:43] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep nods to Purple_Kay, "Good timing. I kinda wanted the table fixed up before I started gettign customers in again. Your drinking contest and the karaoke thingy brought my business up, so I'd like my other attraction intact."
  106. [13:44] * Green_Field while putting some things away asks Harmony, "how's your head, I saw you pass out last night?"
  107. [13:44] * Logic_Gates figured he might as well ask. He doesn't like stealing from ponies he knows.
  108. [13:44] * Purple_Kay_ nods and gets to work. "Simple enough repair."
  109. [13:44] * Harmony shrugs. "It isn't too bad... Thank you for asking."
  110. [13:45] * Logic_Gates does, however, when she goes back to sleep. Science is ahoof.
  111. [13:45] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep nods, "Yeah, I figured it would be, but I had to get a bit of insurance from your friend first, since it was his mare that tore it with a bad shot. You'll get it back once you finish."
  112. [13:46] <TenMihara|GM> Razor snores
  113. [13:46] <Harmony> "And how are you and Daisy, Mister Green?"
  114. [13:47] * Purple_Kay_ chuckles. "I suppose she probably hasn't had much opportunity to practice before." He patches the hole and does some leveling while he's working. 'Leave it better than ya started' was an old motto.
  115. [13:48] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles after devouring the whole apple, a couple of seeds stuck to her muzzle
  116. [13:48] <Green_Field> "I'd like to think we're doing well for what we've been through."
  117. [13:48] * Harmony nods, taking out a can of cram to eat, being quite hungry.
  118. [13:49] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy waves happily to Purple_Kay
  119. [13:50] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep nods, "Sounds good." He fishes the 50 caps back out and sets them on the counter. "Just to make sure, that mare that passed out, she didn't wake up and do anythign foolish while blitzed, right?"
  120. [13:50] * Green_Field chuckling a little while pulling out a clean rage to wipe Daisy's muzzle, "you sure have a thing for eating as fast as possible."
  121. [13:51] * Logic_Gates speeds along, taking the plastic bag back to his lab, also bringing Geeky's microscope with a swift "I need to borrow this." and "Do you have any live mice?"
  122. [13:52] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky blinks, "Um... not on me, but a place like this might have some rats or something infesting it."
  123. [13:52] * Purple_Kay_ takes the caps and quirks a brow. "You mean like a wake-up-drunk-three-way? Absolutely not."
  124. [13:53] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep nods, "Good to hear. Mares, especially as pretty as her, should keep control of their faculties."
  125. [13:55] * Purple_Kay_ "You don't mind me asking, what's your interest? I agree with ya, pretty thing like her needs to make sure she is aware or with good friends to take her somewhere safe, but still. Odd question."
  126. [13:55] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep shakes his head, "No personal interest, I just like repeat customers, and if a customer does something stupid under the influence of booze they got from me, they're likely to associate the bad decision with me and this bar and not come back."
  127. [13:56] <TenMihara|GM> Barkeep chuckles, "And considering I gave you guys an all-in tab last night, I would much prefer if you actually came back at some point and paid for drinks."
  128. [13:57] * Purple_Kay_ nods. "Well, nothing untoward happened. Just a good night's sleep and a slightly less good morning. We'll be back, I'm sure." He smiles and tips his hat. "I've got more repairs to make, take care of yourself." He heads off to his and Razor's room to (quietly) get to work on all those repairs he was going to do last night.
  129. [13:59] <TenMihara|GM> Razor eventually grumbles half asleep, "Hungry. Food here now good please."
  130. [13:59] * Logic_Gates puts the microscope on a table in his room, gingerly places the bag of powder in a box, and starts going on the hunt for some rats in the main area of the store.
  131. [14:00] * Harmony sits against a wall and with little else to do, idly starts twiddling her hooves, hoping Proverb would be back soon....
  132. [14:02] * Purple_Kay_ sets the canteen and a pack of noodles by Razor and spends a little time giving her another hangover massage. He then gets back to work, plenty to do before Daisy comes in for her fitting.
  133. [14:04] <TenMihara|GM> While there are traces of rat infestation in Megamart, Logic isn't exactly keen on tracking skills
  134. [14:04] <TenMihara|GM> Razor eats in grumpy, hung over silence
  135. [14:05] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shrugs at Green_Field. The more she ate, the quicker she could be strong enough to do stuff for herself.
  136. [14:05] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy trots up to Harmony and prods her with a hoof, tilting her head, looking curious about her apparent worry.
  137. [14:07] * Harmony smiles dismissively to Daisy. "It is nothing, Daisy... don't worry about me."
  138. [14:07] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy pouts
  139. [14:10] * Harmony sighs. "I am just worried about whether or not Proverb will come back..."
  140. [14:10] * Logic_Gates pouts, then runs over to Purple_Kay_. He seems a bit more excited than usual. "Purple. Purple. Purple. Purple. I need your help. Purple."
  141. [14:10] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy prods her again, then looks ponderous and points to the door.
  142. [14:11] <Green_Field> "Something about her tells me she'll be just fine."
  143. [14:11] * Purple_Kay_ shushes the excited Logic_Gates. "Shh!" He motions to Razor sleeping in her hangover glory. "You don't want to wake the kraken. Whaddaya need?"
  144. [14:12] * Harmony frowns. "I do not really wish to just sit here and wait... I think we should look for her."
  145. [14:12] <TenMihara|GM> Razor is awake now and eating, but glowers at Logic thoroughly
  146. [14:12] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles and nods.
  147. [14:13] * Logic_Gates looks at him dead center in the eyes and whispers. "Rats." He said with a rather surprising amount of conviction.
  148. [14:13] * Harmony smiles. "Alright, do you want to help, Daisy?"
  149. [14:13] * Purple_Kay_ quirks a brow. "Rats?"
  150. [14:14] <Green_Field> "We can get you your armor on way."
  151. [14:14] <Logic_Gates> "Rats."
  152. [14:14] <Logic_Gates> "I need rats to do experiments on."
  153. [14:14] * Purple_Kay_ adds a knowing lilt to his voice. "Ah! Rats."
  154. [14:15] * Purple_Kay_ smirks. "'fraid I'm right out."
  155. [14:17] * Logic_Gates leans on his good shoulder with a hoof. "The Megamart has had a rat infestation for a while, but we could never curb it or find much proof, mostly because nobody was interested in doing it. I need rats to get my project of the powder done so I can have some leverage on the Collegiate so I can get the cloudwalking spell so I can go to Neighvarro and complete my collection of porn."
  156. [14:18] <TenMihara|GM> (That makes perfect sense)
  157. [14:19] * Purple_Kay_ sucks his teeth. "Well, that sounds like a plan. But I don't think I'm the pony for the job. I don't know the first thing about tracking rats and what I /do/ know is they tend to hide in small places." He gestures to himself. "Not really built for ratting."
  158. [14:24] * Logic_Gates stomps his leg. "I'll handle the catching if you handle the spotting."
  159. [14:26] * Purple_Kay_ 's brow furrows in concentration, then he grins. "I'm no tracker, but you know who has experience tracking?" He motions to the bed. "Champ over there tracked a group of raiders from Flank to just shy of here. I'm sure hunting rats wouldn't be beyond her abilities."
  160. [14:26] * Harmony assumes Daisy wants to help and heads out of the bedroom, looking around Megamart for any sign of Proverb.
  161. [14:28] * Logic_Gates looks at Razor, then back at Purple_Kay_. "No."
  162. [14:30] * Purple_Kay_ sucks his teeth. "Will have to be afternoon if you need me, then." He motions to his armor sprawled across the bench. "If Wishy doesn't come back tonight, we're looking for her in the morning. I need to get these repairs done."
  163. [14:33] <TenMihara|GM> Razor grumbles
  164. [14:34] * Green_Field leads Daisy to Purple_Kay_
  165. [14:35] * Purple_Kay_ "That or you could get me a fiddle and I'll round them up pied piper style." He chuckles.
  166. [14:35] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy follows Green_Field. She couldn't really help look if she wasn't properly equipped.
  167. [14:37] <TenMihara|GM> No sign of Proverb at Megamart, which is notable because if a Pegasus had been around, even one as small and timid as Proverb, she would get noticed by someone
  168. [14:39] * Purple_Kay_ finishes with his armor as Daisy and Green_Field enter. He's still looking at the determined Logic_Gates, unsure if he plans to wait on him or counter with some other plan.
  169. [14:40] * Logic_Gates nodded. "Okay." Right, then. First fiddle, then get rats. He starts heading towards the cashier pony up at the front.
  170. [14:40] * Green_Field walks up to Purple_Kay_, "brought her down so you can get her the armor."
  171. [14:41] * Harmony frowns, not seeing any sign of Proverb, and looks around for Purple_Kay. She's ready to search!
  172. [14:43] * Purple_Kay_ gets out his measuring tape and approaches Daisy. "Suits like these can pretty much fit anypony, but getting a good fit can save your life. Last thing you need is a loose bit hanging off and getting snagged while running away from something, or any other such nonsense." He sets to work taking all her measurements.
  173. [14:43] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy fidgets a bit but lets Purple_Kay work
  174. [14:45] * Logic_Gates heads up to the front. "Hey. I need a fiddle."
  175. [14:45] * Harmony finds Purple_Kay, looking eager to leave. She waits for Kay to finish suiting Daisy.
  176. [14:48] * Green_Field stands to the side and silently doubts the usefulness of a search.
  177. [14:48] * Purple_Kay "Still need to figure out what to do with you, Daisy. Our lives aren't all drinking and relaxation. I'd like to say the stable was the worst of what we've faced, but it wasn't." He jots down her front measurements and moves behind her. "Don't really know the folks here. Maybe Flank? Strictly waitressing, of course. "
  178. [14:49] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy pouts, looking a little lost on that same subject herself
  179. [14:53] * Purple_Kay "too old for Chapel" He looks around and sees Logic_Gates has run off. "Bottlecap might watch after her, but not sure who could set her up with work. What do y'all think?"
  180. [14:54] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap looks up from her desk, "A what now?"
  181. [14:55] * Logic_Gates doesn't even skip a beat. "Purple_Kay said that he could help me get the rats out of the megamart and into my lab area if he had a fiddle. I need test subjects, so I took the deal."
  182. [14:57] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap just looks confused, "You wanna tackle the rat problem... with a fiddle?"
  183. [14:57] * Logic_Gates shrugs. "Hey, that's what he needs, apparently."
  184. [14:58] <Green_Field> "Waitress wouldn't be a bad start. Could get a job at an inn too. And, of course my offer still stands."
  185. [14:59] * Purple_Kay_ finishes measuring and gets to work altering a security barding, removing it's logos as well. No big 84 to ask questions about. "Your offer?"
  186. [15:00] <Green_Field> "I start teaching her medicine."
  187. [15:01] * Purple_Kay_ nods. "Planning on settling down? Can't blame ya. Our rough-ridin' lifestyle isn't the safest. Will miss ya though. Where you planning to set up shop?"
  188. [15:02] * Harmony frowns. "Mister Kay... I believe that we should look for Proverb... I am starting to worry, more so than I was."
  189. [15:04] * Purple_Kay_ sucks his teeth. "When I was champing at the bit ready to charge out after her, you backed me down. Give her til tomorrow night." He keeps working while talking. "Seeing as she flies, there isn't much of a trail to go cold, but still."
  190. [15:06] * Harmony nods. "Alright..."
  191. [15:07] * Harmony frowns and sits down.
  192. [15:08] * Harmony pouts at Kay, her mind not calmed. "Are you sure we cannot?"
  193. [15:09] * Logic_Gates cocks an eyebrow. "So?"
  194. [15:10] * Purple_Kay_ looks at her, he can't blame her for being worried. He is too. "We can't go anywhere until I finish these repairs. But there isn't anything keeping us here after that. Well, except that Green here might be opening a clinic and Logic has something with rats. But if that sorts itself out by the time I'm done, I don't see why we can't jump the gun a bit."
  195. [15:12] <Green_Field> "As pointless as I think a search is, I came down under the impression that we'd be leaving as soon as she got her armor."
  196. [15:14] <Harmony> "You said you could disguise me, Mister Kay. Maybe you could work on that, and then we can look?"
  197. [15:18] * Purple_Kay_ "I'm fresh out of ballgags, so I'll assume we are going for the second option?" He cracks a smile. "You'll need to come up with a cloak, or at least a good bit of fabric. Maybe Doc can work up some convincing looking bandages for your face. But the question still stands, what about you, Daisy? What do you want to do? We don't really know ponies here, except for Logic and who he knows. At least not to the point of trust."
  198. [15:21] <Green_Field> "I can make her look like a convincing burn victim."
  199. [15:22] * Harmony nods, turning to Green_Field. "How many caps do you need?"
  200. [15:44] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap looks to Logic_Gates, "I don't play. You'll have to look elsewhere."
  201. [15:44] * Logic_Gates shakes his head. "No, I mean, do you know where I can get one?"
  202. [15:45] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap shrugs, "This is Megamart, you can find just about anything here, and if you can't, it probably isn't going to turn up elsewhere."
  203. [15:53] * Green_Field answering Harmony, "I shouldn't need any extra, but depending on how many bandages I'll need to use, I might need to restock, I doubt it though."
  204. [15:57] <TenMihara|GM> Green_Field figures that, even though She's taller, Harmony being more slender would save on surface area. Two rolls of bandages would be enough to cover her head to tail
  205. [15:57] <TenMihara|GM> HOwever, he also figures it would be slightly restrictive to her mobility
  206. [16:03] <TenMihara|GM> Green_Field gets to work wrapping Harmony in bandages. He finishes early in the afternoon, while Purple_Kay has now wrapped up his repair work.
  207. [16:07] * Logic_Gates frowns. "Do you know where to find one?"
  208. [16:09] <TenMihara|GM> The merchant Logic_Gates is speaking to shrugs, "Not one that works." He pulls out a mangled fiddle, "If you can find somethign to repair this with, that's probably your best bet."
  209. [16:11] * Logic_Gates shouts from where he is. "Purple! Will this one work?"
  210. [16:15] * Harmony fidgets uncomfortable in the bandages, but is still ready to go!
  211. [16:17] * Green_Field stands back admiring his work, "make sure to make some stiff movements and it would be a good idea not to talk much if at all."
  212. [16:20] * Purple_Kay_ looks at the fiddle. "That's gonna need some work. More than I can do right now. Will need to get some specialty stuff. I can probably fashion what's missing if we can find some decent wood. Maybe we'll find some when we go looking for Wishy. I'll keep an eye out."
  213. [16:36] <TenMihara|GM> The Merchant nods to Logic_Gates, "If you want that one, twenty caps."
  214. [16:39] * Green_Field after finishing with Harmony walks up to Purple_Kay_, "have you fixed that pool table, I was hoping to get at least half my caps back."
  215. [16:42] * Purple_Kay_ digs out the sack of caps. "Oh, yeah. Forgot about them. Get tied up with repairs and that's all that sticks in my head." He tosses him the sack. Nothing but Logic's fiddle on the to-do list now... Logic_Gate's fiddle... Crap...
  216. [16:43] <Green_Field> "Thanks."
  217. [16:46] <TenMihara|GM> *****Intermission*****
  218. [16:46] <TenMihara|GM> Rewards: 1000 Experience
  219. [20:05] <TenMihara|GM> *****Session Resumes*****
  220. [20:13] * Purple_Kay packs away his pony-portable workbench.
  221. [20:14] * Harmony stands fidgeting in her new bandage get up, waiting for everypony else to be ready to leave.
  222. [20:15] * Logic_Gates goes ahead and reaches for his cap bag. "Twenty caps? Sure. Worth it."
  223. [20:15] <TenMihara|GM> The merchat takes the caps and gives him the beat up, single sting still intact, fiddle.
  224. [20:19] * Razor is super grumpy. Her head hurts and she feels and sluggish. Moving is like trying to wade through syrup.
  225. [20:22] * Logic_Gates goes to hold the beat-up fiddle up to Purple_Kay. "Hey, I got this. Now help me with the rats."
  226. [20:23] * Purple_Kay gives it a thorough inspection.
  227. [20:23] * Razor gives a low growl. "Don't you dare play that in here..."
  228. [20:24] * Purple_Kay "no worries, Champ. Only one string. Going to take work and parts."
  229. [20:27] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks betwwen Harmony and Purple_Kay, then tilts her head curiously. She had no idea what rats had to do with anything.
  230. [20:29] * Purple_Kay offers Daisy a hoof getting correctly in her armor. "Hey, G, you think Bottlecap would keep an eye on Daisy if we left her here?"
  231. [20:30] * Razor wobbles onto her hooves. Ow. Stop it body. Cooperate.
  232. [20:35] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks herself over in the armour and nobs approvingly. She had never been given clothes before either, or anything that might keep her safe from... anything.
  233. [20:36] * Purple_Kay looks to Logic_Gates and back to Daisy, the question still hanging.
  234. [20:37] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks curious herself. She was kinda torn between the fun she had here, and going off on new adventures now that she was free
  235. [20:42] * Purple_Kay "we can always ask I suppose. Bottlecap's then head out? See if she can offer safety for Daisy before we go?"
  236. [20:45] * Purple_Kay looks over to Razor. "Need help with your armor, Champ?" He grins a no doubt infuriating smirk.
  237. [20:45] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks to Green_Field for his recommendation
  238. [20:47] * Razor has never needed help with her armor, ever. She barely ever takes it off anyway. Who knows when you might get shanked in the middle of the night. "Why don't you go be noisy somewhere else?"
  239. [20:49] * Purple_Kay smiles. "Just checking on ya Kid. Lets get going". He heads off toward Bottlecaps.
  240. [20:50] * Green_Field says to Daisy, "you're free now. That means you'll have to decide for yourself what you want to do in your life. You can either see if you can stay here or come with us. If you do decide to come with us, we'll do our best to keep you safe."
  241. [20:51] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks ponderous, then siddles up close to Green Field. She looks at him with a smile and eyes lit with a lust for adventure with which to fill her new freedom. She didn't escape just to coop herself up again
  242. [20:53] * Green_Field smiles back at her, "just make sure to do what we say and stay close, ok?"
  243. [20:53] * Razor groans and follows. Click-clack, click-clack. Her own hooves were betraying her. Were they always so noisy? Click-clack.
  244. [20:54] * Purple_Kay hasn't noticed and is still heading toward Bottlecaps to ask for her safe keeping.
  245. [20:55] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy raises an eyebrow, That was kind of a mixed message for an ex-slave
  246. [20:59] <Green_Field> "Come on, two days of treating you like royalty and you think we're going to start ordering you around like you're a slave again? I just mean that in our experience we'll have a better idea of how to keep you from harm."
  247. [21:03] * Purple_Kay approaches Bottlecaps office, looking to see if it is open.
  248. [21:04] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods understandingly
  249. [21:04] * Razor click-clacks all the way behind Purple_Kay. She's swaying a bit as she walks. Everything seems a little blurrier the more hurty she feels.
  250. [21:07] * Purple_Kay looks back at the spread out group behind him. "Hey, Doc? Can you check on Razor? Seems more off than usual. Even more off than after the arena fight." He turns. "I'll see if Bottlecap will put Daisy up. "
  251. [21:08] * Green_Field walking over to Razor to look her over, "sure."
  252. [21:09] * Harmony groans in discomfort, scratching at the bandages covering her, becoming restless.
  253. [21:10] * Purple_Kay motions to Daisy. "Let's see if we can get you someplace safe. "
  254. [21:11] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shakes her head and sticks close to Green_Field, looking to see what he was doing to/with Razor
  255. [21:12] * Purple_Kay sucks his teeth. "Daisy, look at me."
  256. [21:13] * Razor snorts and recoils. "It's a fucking headache. Don't even think about touching my head..."
  257. [21:15] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks to Purple_Kay and tilts her head.
  258. [21:16] * Green_Field shrugging it off, "Agreed, just a headache."
  259. [21:18] * Purple_Kay contorts his neck and pulls the bandage off his shoulder revealing the huge graft-covered divot. He stand to his full height, in all his hideously scarred glory. "This is what our lives do to us. I won't make you stay, but I want to know you are /completely/ aware of the danger. Are you sure?"
  260. [21:18] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks nervous now. That was really nasty. She looks to Green_Field for some kind of reassurance.
  261. [21:21] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shrinks away a bit
  262. [21:23] * Purple_Kay closes back up the front of his new barding again. Hiding a fair portion of the latticework of scars away.
  263. [21:23] * Green_Field disgusted at both his conduct and his treatment of his wound says sternly, "that's enough! I don't deny your point, but you could use more tact. She's been a slave all her life, you don't think shes witnessed her share of horrible things done to ponies, even to herself. They even cut out her tongue, so I think it's safe to assume she knows what can happen out there!"
  264. [21:24] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy paws at the ground with a hoof sheepishly
  265. [21:27] * Purple_Kay doesn't balk. "She may not have to spend her freedom as dangerously as us. I don't want her to take this break as the norm for us. I won't have her hurt because of a dilussion we've allowed to grow. I don't want to scare you, Daisy, but I want you to be sure of the risks and careful."
  266. [21:27] * Green_Field a little irritated by his own lack of tack, turns to Daisy, "I'm sorry if I brought back any bad memories."
  267. [21:28] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy sighs, then shakes her head. She motions for something to write with.
  268. [21:28] * Green_Field pulls out the paper and pencil once more.
  269. [21:28] * Purple_Kay 's eyes soften. He gets out his drafting kit and gives it to her.
  270. [21:28] * LG tilts his head. "She could work security while I'm away."
  271. [21:29] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy writes: "Life dangerous. Know that from friend died and giant bug thing. Still, need to learn how to do some useful and survive. Easier with friends, yes/no?"
  272. [21:31] * Purple_Kay blinks. "You're wiser than you know. Lets go find our missing friend, yeah?"
  273. [21:32] * Razor gives Daisy a look. "The world hurts. All you can do is fight back." She gives her head a slow shake and brings a foreleg up to her now-closed eyes. "Can we GO? Talking hurts even worse."
  274. [21:32] * Harmony nods, finally! "To the Society then..."
  275. [21:33] <TenMihara|GM> Harmony would know that the Society is based at Elysium Resort
  276. [21:33] <Green_Field> "Lead the way, I'll heal you when you need it."
  277. [21:33] * LG frowns. He'd planned on going to the college.
  278. [21:34] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy scribbles, "You help me and so nice, I help you find friend at least."
  279. [21:34] * Harmony sets off, ready to get a move on towards the Elysium Resort. "We should leave now, I would like to find her soon..."
  280. [21:35] * Purple_Kay goes with them, walking beside Green_Field . "Don't suppose you could do that pain away spell on Razor? Her hangover is going to end up hurting all of us." A true stallions apology, say nothing, go back to normal.
  281. [21:36] * Green_Field to Daisy, "You ought to hold onto the paper and pencil now that you pockets."
  282. [21:38] * Green_Field to Purple_Kay, "you know her better than I do. Razor, how about some pain relief for that headache?"
  283. [21:39] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods and slips the pencil and paper pad away
  284. [21:41] * Razor gives a low, frustrated growl. "I don't care... just hurry and let's go!"
  285. [21:42] * Green_Field casts pain relief on her.
  286. [21:42] * Purple_Kay falls in line after she gets zapped and keeps his eyes peaked for trouble on the road.
  287. [21:43] * Razor feels... quite a bit better. But she's still in a pretty grumpy mood.
  288. [21:50] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy sticks close the Green_Field as they walk. They could reach Elysium in less than a day's travel from Megamart, but there was a fair amount of ground to cover
  289. [21:51] * Purple_Kay has the sudden epiphany that Daisy is unarmed. He trots over to her and Green_Field and removes his knife and scabbard. "I hope you don't need it, but you should have something."
  290. [21:52] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks at the knife and frowns. It looked similar to the same implement that had taken away her tongue.
  291. [21:54] * Razor gives Daisy a glare. "Stop holding us up. Let's GO."
  292. [21:54] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy frowns, but takes the knife anyways
  293. [21:54] * Purple_Kay sees her distain and digs into his bag for a baton.
  294. [21:55] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks up from sheathing the knife as Purple_Kay goes for something else
  295. [21:57] <TenMihara|GM> Razor, with her senses cleared, manages to spot a slightly darker patch of shadow being cast over Purple_Kay, who also notices it
  296. [21:59] * Purple_Kay looks up from his scrounging, swinging his yoke to the ready.
  297. [22:00] * Purple_Kay manages an "Up!" Figuring something in the sky from the shadow.
  298. [22:01] * Harmony looks up, trying to find whatever it was.
  299. [22:01] * Green_Field looks up as well.
  300. [22:02] <TenMihara|GM> There is a thicker shadow, but those on the ground can't make out anything different from the cloud cover above
  301. [22:03] * Green_Field looking at Purple_Kay, "something wrong?"
  302. [22:03] * Purple_Kay keeps his eyes to the sky, sweeping the air in grids. Something cast that shadow.
  303. [22:06] * Purple_Kay "Shadow..." He keeps looking up. "Has to be above."
  304. [22:06] * Green_Field looks up again not sure if Purple_Kay's own headache was getting to him.
  305. [22:08] * Razor goes for her weapon, glaring at the sky. She's not in the mood for games!
  306. [22:18] * Shadow has to be what now?
  307. [22:24] <TenMihara|GM> There is a pair of painfully loud guncracks and suddenly so much blood as Purple_Kay has a good chunk of his face blow off by a successive pair of rather large bullets. The stallion staggers, but somehow manages to maintain consciousness. One of the shots tore clean through his muzzle, while the other dug deep into his neck, puncturing an artery
  308. [22:25] <TenMihara|GM> A shout comes from directly above Purple_Kay, "How the fuck is he not dead?! This guy's a monster! Gertrude, finish him off."
  309. [22:27] * Purple_Kay_ 's would bellow in pain, but the bullet carved a path through his sinus cavity and out the side of his jaw. He manages to keep his mouth around his saddle's yoke.
  310. [22:28] <TenMihara|GM> A voice calls from the ground, "Hang on, maybe they'll give her up if we threaten to finish off the big one." A lithe female griffon steps out from under a camoflage net and aims a markspony carbine at Purple_Kay. "Okay, so you got yourself some tough help, but let's see how loyal some bodyguard mercs are." She directs this at Harmony, glaring at her, then looks to Purple_Kay, "Give up the mare or I drop you."
  311. [22:30] * Harmony blinks, seeing Purple_Kay's wound, and furrows her brow, looking to the mare. "Mister Kay..." She frowns. "If I give myself up you will let them live?"
  312. [22:30] * Purple_Kay_ smiles, his jaw half hanging on the right side, blood pumping out of the wound in his neck and pooling in the divot below his armor. He hold's up a hoof to as he composes his response.
  313. [22:31] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude looks around the group while keeping her gun leveled at Purple_Kay, "That goes for the rest of you. Give us the mark, and the rest of you can keep on living."
  314. [22:32] * Logic_Gates looks up. "What are you talking about! Are you after my porn? I swear to Celestia, I can make a copy!"
  315. [22:33] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude frowns at Logic, "Funny guy kid. Unless you want the punchline to be your head on my trophy wall, pipe down and hand over the mark."
  316. [22:33] * Razor 's eyes widen. This... No. Just no! Her breathing catches in her throat. She shouts out, viciously, "You fucking try it and I will SKIN YOU ALIVE! DO YOU HEAR ME!? YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE DEAD!" She is shouting as loud as she ever has. Throat-bleedingly loud.
  317. [22:34] * Purple_Kay_ spits out a large amount of blood... well... not so much spitting as it just falls out the side of his face, but the effort was there.
  318. [22:35] * Purple_Kay_ "Lemme 'sk you 'is. I'm so hard to kill, how you think you gonna take the rest?"
  319. [22:35] * Logic_Gates steps in front of the behemoth. "I'm not joking, what are you after? I can't see what you're pointing at!" He felt the energy welling up in the space behind his horn.
  320. [22:37] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude keeps her rifle on Purple_Kay, "If he means that much to you, give up the Society's mark and the rest of you can go." She smirks at Purple_Kay, "Big guy like you is either the leader or the toughest one in a squad like this. Any other pony would have been killed by those shots, and it'll be easy enough to keep out of reach while we pick off the rest if they don't comply."
  321. [22:38] * Harmony sighs, looking to Purple_Kay sadly. "Just... turn me in. I do not want to cause your death."
  322. [22:38] * Purple_Kay_ laughs long and loud, blood splattering from his face as he does. He shakes his head vigourously, an arc of blood tossed about. He stops with a final chuckle.
  323. [22:38] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay is bleeding really heavily
  324. [22:39] * Logic_Gates hears something behind him, something that broke his focus. "... Time out!" He looked back at Harmony and glared. "How long has this been going on?"
  325. [22:39] * Green_Field resists the urge to apply aid to Purple_Kay_, the risk of her finishing him off is too great.
  326. [22:41] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude smirks and answers Logic's question, "This bitch is wanted by the Society for two counts of murder, larsony and breaking an endentured contract. They put out a general bounty, but the widow of one of her victims contracted us special to hunt her down."
  327. [22:42] * Purple_Kay_ looks up to the sky.
  328. [22:43] * Harmony frowns, looking down and listening to her charges.
  329. [22:43] * Razor snarls at the griffon. She was ready to do something stupid.
  330. [22:45] * Logic_Gates whispers through clenched teeth. "On my mark, get ready to act. Green, prepare to treat purple." He spoke out again. "Okay, time in. So, how's this going to work?"
  331. [22:46] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude raises an eyebrow, "It's going to work that either you give up the mark, or we kill the big guy, and the rest of you if need be."
  332. [22:46] * Green_Field looks from Logic_Gates to Gertrude, not sure how this will play out.
  333. [22:47] * Logic_Gates shakes his head. "No, I mean, how are we getting out of here alive, even if we do give her up?"
  334. [22:48] * Razor keeps growling. "We kill them. And flay them. Until there's nothing left but bones."
  335. [22:49] * Purple_Kay_ keeps looking at the sky. The shot came from there, the griffon in front of them doesn't matter, the sniper does. He keeps scanning.
  336. [22:50] * Razor thinks the griffon in front of them matters more, since she's doing the gun pointing.
  337. [22:50] * Green_Field always keeping his supplies in the same places, readies himself to pull out the needed equipment.
  338. [22:53] * Proverb is hidden somewhere above all of them, having followed the griffons from The Society's HQ. PK had been hit bad by the sniper already, and there was another griffon on the ground threatening him now too... She lines up her shots, two to both the sniper's and Gertrude's heads, and fires.
  339. [22:57] * Purple_Kay_ "'orry. 'he's 'amily. You 'an't 'ave er'."
  340. [23:02] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb's gunshots coincide with Purple_Kay's declaration of family, and with a wretched squawk, the form of a griffon falls through a low hanging cloud, plummeting towards the ground. Gertrude looks up in horror; "Geoffry!" Her lapse in focus gives Razor an opening
  341. [23:04] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude is also pelted by a couple shots and screams as she's shot, coupled with the plummeting of the flying sniper
  342. [23:05] * Razor acts almost as soon as the griffon bitch looks away! She almost /jumps/ between the griffon and Purple_Kay_, and lashes out at her with her weapon, telekinetically, aiming to shove it right through her throat.
  343. [23:10] * Razor follows it up with a slash at one of the griffon's arms. If she can't hold the gun...
  344. [23:11] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude is dead before Razor can reach her arm with the second attack, the would-be reaper's blade cutting clean through her armour and tearing her throat out
  345. [23:11] * Razor doesn't care if she's dead or not!
  346. [23:12] * Razor will kill her harder!
  347. [23:12] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude's dead flesh yields easily, her arm coming off and her gun dropping
  348. [23:13] * Purple_Kay_ is still looking up at the sky, a little loopy from the blood loss. He sees the dead sniper drop. So that's where you were hiding... clever...
  349. [23:14] * Razor is still growling and breathing heavily in white-hot rage. Her entire body is tense.
  350. [23:15] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude is dead and Geoffery's body breaks with a loud thud punctuated by some sick cracks as it hits the ground.
  351. [23:20] * Purple_Kay_ coughs a bit of blood, that joins all the other blood. "Doc? 'er disguise 'idn't work."
  352. [23:20] * Green_Field as soon as the danger has passed, runs over to Purple_Kay_ while pulling out magical bandages and a blood pack.
  353. [23:20] * Proverb rockets out of her position, a tiny black spec against the sky, diving towards the ground, a faint black streak trailing behind her.
  354. [23:20] * Harmony looks at the dead bounty hunters in surprise, quickly turning her attention and concern to Purple_Kay.
  355. [23:22] * Razor snarls and looks around for more targets. "COME OUT! COME OUT SO I CAN KILL YOU!"
  356. [23:23] * Green_Field to everypony, "I'm gonna need help with this!" He starts by applying a magical bandage and pressure.
  357. [23:24] * Purple_Kay_ is a little loopy from the blood loss. "'his was a bran' 'ew suit..."
  358. [23:25] * Purple_Kay_ tries to suck his teeth in irritation, but the lack of the right side of his face make it a physical impossibility.
  359. [23:27] * Razor isn't good at medical stuff. But when she hears Green_Field talking instead of medicining, she shouts at him angrily. "Don't just sit there! Fix him! Or I swear..."
  360. [23:28] * Purple_Kay_ "Ah'm 'ine. Noh 'orries." The way the jutting bone flaps about on through the exit wound on the right side of his face might indicate otherwise.
  361. [23:30] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy, who was paralyzed with fear right up until the griffons died, rushes to Green's side. She starts to cry, knowing her complete lack of skill would be totally useless right now.
  362. [23:33] * Purple_Kay_ nudges Daisy's hoof with his. Not moving to hold her hoof, but offering his to be held. She can do that much for him. He smiles... with his eyes... cause his mouth can't do jack shit.
  363. [23:33] * Green_Field says to Daisy, "put pressure on his jaw." He then connects the blood pack to Purple_Kay_'s leg before getting out a needle and stitching nylon.
  364. [23:34] <Green_Field> "Somepony get over here and hold this blood pack!"
  365. [23:35] * Harmony trots over quickly, grimacing as she holds the pack.
  366. [23:36] * Razor is glaring at every cloud, as if daring anything to come down and fight her like a mare!
  367. [23:36] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods and uses a hoof to prop Purple_Kay's jaw in place
  368. [23:37] * Green_Field as he pulls out his graft bandage, "I just got his too."
  369. [23:37] * Proverb is diving towards the ground from where she had been hiding a good ways up.
  370. [23:38] * Logic_Gates grabs his gun and checks behind the rocks.
  371. [23:38] * Purple_Kay_ "Ah 'ust gah dun wearin' one." He would probably complain more but he realizes he is making Daisy's job more difficult. "'orry."
  372. [23:40] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy just sniffles and holds his jaw in place still
  373. [23:41] * Green_Field begins stitching Purple_Kay_'s jaw, repositioning Daisy's hooves as needed.
  374. [23:44] * Razor ... can't really do much. She's not a smart pony who knows how to treat injuries. She just knows how to skewer a chicken through the throat.
  375. [23:44] <TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gates finds nothing
  376. [23:45] * Logic_Gates wanders around, trying to find somepony still hiding.
  377. [23:46] * Purple_Kay_ winces as Green wires, stitches, wraps, and magics his head back together.
  378. [23:48] * Purple_Kay_ sits there and stare out at where a ribbon of black dropped out of the sky earlier. He. Just. Stares.
  379. [23:49] <Proverb> Said ribbon of black is getting steadily closer, Proverb at the front of it.
  380. [23:49] * Green_Field then sets on the graft bandage to try and hold his jaw onto his head.
  381. [23:51] * Razor is still looking for targets. That black ribbon has caught her eye. She stands tense, watching it.
  382. [23:56] * Purple_Kay_ looks pointedly at Harmony and then to the black streak heading their way.
  383. [23:56] * Harmony still looks to PK with concern, and seeing his glance, turns her head to discern the black streak.
  384. [23:56] * Purple_Kay_ takes the bloodpack from her so she's free. He can hold a bag.
  385. [23:57] * Green_Field having done that, casts bone mending to try and heal it as much as possible.
  386. [23:57] * Harmony turns away fully when Purple_Kay takes the pack, removing the bandages from her face to get a better view.
  387. [23:58] * Proverb levels out as she nears the ground, banking towards Harmony, Purple_Kay_, Green_Field, and the others.
  388. [23:59] * Harmony smiles lightly, relieved to see Proverb unharmed.
  389. [00:00] * Proverb still has her rifle drawn, and hits the ground at a gallop, heading straight for Harmony.
  390. [00:01] * Harmony furrows her brow, seeing Proverb charging at her with her rifle...
  391. [00:02] * Green_Field as a last thing casts clean on Purple_Kay_, "that's all I can do for now."
  392. [00:03] * Purple_Kay_ looks down at his clean suit. He gives Green_Field a 'seriously' look, but then looks pretty pleased. It /was/ a new suit.
  393. [00:03] <Green_Field> "Oh, one more thing." Casts a healing spell on Purple_Kay_.
  394. [00:06] * Proverb leaps at Harmony, throwing her hooves around her and kissing her deeply.
  395. [00:07] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy blinks in surprise, then snickers
  396. [00:08] * Harmony blinks, blushing lightly in her surprise before wrapping a hoof around Proverb and returning the gesture in full force.
  397. [00:08] * Purple_Kay_ waits for them to finish.
  398. [00:09] * Razor glares a little at Proverb. This wasn't the time for that! There could be more dangerous things!
  399. [00:09] * Green_Field stares at Purple_Kay_'s and pauses a second, "actually take another." He casts another heal spell.
  400. [00:11] * Purple_Kay_ figures he has waited long enough and starts stalking over to the pair, eyes locked on Bonehead.
  401. [00:11] * Proverb would be pretty sure Razor could handle whatever danger there was~
  402. [00:12] * Harmony breaks the kiss after a few moments, wrapping Proverb up in a tight hug. She wasn't running off again. "Thank you Proverb... I am glad you are safe, though... please tell us, me, before next time."
  403. [00:12] * Green_Field follows and watches Purple_Kay_ closely as he walks.
  404. [00:13] * Purple_Kay_ each step reverberating as they progress to angry stomps.
  405. [00:13] * Proverb hugs Harmony back, nodding. Her ears perk. Uh oh.
  406. [00:13] * Purple_Kay_ eyes Proverb wildly, his eyes thin slits. He's been preparing this tongue lashing since she left. He takes a deep breath and opens his mouth...
  407. [00:14] * Purple_Kay_ 's eyes go wide and his head tilts.
  408. [00:14] * Purple_Kay_ looks crosseyed at this muzzle, back to Proverb, to his muzzle, back to Proverb...
  409. [00:15] * Proverb looks at PK, tilting her head. "Uhm..."
  410. [00:15] * Logic_Gates glares at Proverb and starts walking back, pausing a moment to give Purple his due. He just learned some very distressing facts about ponies he thought he knew. And then Purple looked like he was going to fall, so he dashed over to support him.
  411. [00:15] * Purple_Kay_ starts to quiver in anger, unitelligible noises failing to make their way through the wire and bandages.
  412. [00:16] * Purple_Kay_ he points at his mouth, at her, at his mouth, stomps a few times... a lot of times.
  413. [00:16] * Razor glances between Purple_Kay_ and Proverb and the sky.
  414. [00:16] * Proverb is suddenly a very, very small pegasus, wiggling away from Harmony and backing away from Purple_Kay_, quivering.
  415. [00:17] * Harmony keeps Proverb in place, she wasn't going to get to avoid any punishment~
  416. [00:17] * Purple_Kay_ spins and stomps and spins, unable to voice his frustration. He suddenly wheels, eyes small and beady. He stomps up to her and raises his forehoof high in the air.
  417. [00:18] * Logic_Gates rolls his eyes, and then huffs. "Hold on. I'll be back in a moment. Purple, bring up what you're going to say in a little bit." His horn began to glow.
  418. [00:18] * Proverb trembles all the same, letting out a squeak.
  419. [00:18] * Purple_Kay_ brings his hoof down around her withers in a tight hug.
  420. [00:19] * Proverb eeps.
  421. [00:19] * Purple_Kay_ snorts and trots away.
  422. [00:19] * Logic_Gates stares at Purple. "Hey. I could always go in and find out what you were going to say and say it for you. It's... Not a problem."
  423. [00:21] * Purple_Kay_ shrugs. He thinks he got the point across.
  424. [00:21] * Logic_Gates "You know. Relay the thing you're trying to say."
  425. [00:22] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy has also shhrunk away form Purple_Kay now
  426. [00:22] * Logic_Gates "No? Alright." Logic knows no fear. Or possibly doesn't understand it.
  427. [00:22] * Purple_Kay_ gets out a sheet of paper and a length of tripwire. He makes a little sign and trots back to Proverb, dropping it over her neck.
  428. [00:23] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks at it curiously
  429. [00:23] * Purple_Kay_ 's sign reads "My Nickname is now Bonehead."
  430. [00:23] * Proverb whimpers.
  431. [00:24] * Harmony chuckles.
  432. [00:25] * Logic_Gates glares at Proverb. "... Let's go back. You need to play the fiddle to get those lab rats."
  433. [00:26] * Proverb just starts crying.
  434. [00:27] * Harmony frowns and brushes Proverb's mane, holding her close. "Hush... It's alright..."
  435. [00:28] * Proverb shudders. "N-No it's n-n-n-not..."
  436. [00:28] * Razor glares back at Proverb. "Quiet! What if there are more? We need to go! Now!"
  437. [00:29] <Proverb> "Th-th-th-the-e-ere's o-one m-m-m-more..."
  438. [00:29] * Razor mutters some very not-nice words and goes back to scanning the sky.
  439. [00:30] * Harmony releases Proverb. "And where is the last?"
  440. [00:30] * Purple_Kay_ 's ears perk up. He sweeps up his control yoke... DAMN IT!
  441. [00:31] * Logic_Gates stops, then turns around. "Where?"
  442. [00:31] * Proverb picks up her Markspony Carbine, working the bolt, sniffling. "D-D-Dunno.... didn't... d-d-didn't s-see..."
  443. [00:32] * Green_Field casting yet another heal spell on Purple_Kay_, "take another, you might need it."
  444. [00:32] * Purple_Kay_ walks the 20 feet over to the molly and rifles through her belongings. Can't use a saddle with no working mouth.
  445. [00:33] * Logic_Gates frowns, and casts a spell over his eyes. Magic detection, and the ability to see enemies. Let's see where you are.
  446. [00:34] * Harmony pulls out her plasma pistol, looking around for the last.
  447. [00:34] * Green_Field finally pulls out his revolver and goes to where Daisy is.
  448. [00:35] * Proverb takes a defensive position near Harmony, scanning the area through her scope.
  449. [00:35] * Logic_Gates growls and casts his whole suite. He had plans for this one.
  450. [00:35] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy was staying a way from Purple_Kay while he was being scary
  451. [00:38] * Razor is probably being at least 1000 times more scary than PK. Or at least was being scary not long ago. Right now she's just scanning the sky.
  452. [00:38] * Green_Field to Daisy while waiting for things to happen, "you did a good job helping me. You ok?"
  453. [00:39] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy is staying away form Razor too then. Way away
  454. [00:39] * Proverb moves over towards the sniper griffon, searching the body. She wanted that Hunting Rifle.
  455. [00:40] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods a bit, slightly comforted, but still worried abotu another potential enemy
  456. [00:51] <TenMihara|GM> Gertrude's corpse has One set of Combat Armour fitted to a Griffon, One Markspony Carbine, 42 5.56mm rounds, and 500 Bottlecaps.
  457. [00:52] <TenMihara|GM> All of Logic Gate's search turns up nothing but an empty camoflage net
  458. [00:57] * Purple_Kay_ moves over to sit beside Razor after looting the molly.
  459. [00:59] * Razor is eyeing the sky. She gives Purple_Kay_ a glance as he approaches.
  460. [01:00] * Logic_Gates huffs.
  461. [01:00] <TenMihara|GM> Geoffery's broken corpse lays nearby
  462. [01:01] * Proverb is already searching it.
  463. [01:01] * Purple_Kay_ settles beside her, looking up with her.
  464. [01:04] * Razor chooses to remain silent. She wouldn't even know what to say.
  465. [01:05] * Purple_Kay_ gets out his drafting supplies, happy he decided to buy them, they have been supremely useful. He writes. "What do you think? More or less attractive after Doc gets done?"
  466. [01:05] <TenMihara|GM> Geoffery's broken body contains a damaged .308 Hunting Rifle (40%, frame partically buckled by the fall), 12 .308 rounds, a set of Talon Combat Armour (including wing blades), 500 bottle caps and a slip of parchment that looks important
  467. [01:06] * Logic_Gates stomps. Damnit, damnit, damnit! He looks back behind him and heads back, carrying the camouflage net. "... We need to throw him off our trail. If he's hiding, then he could know where we're going back to. If he isn't, then we lose nothing but time."
  468. [01:08] * Proverb takes all of it, looking over at Purple_Kay_. He's the one who normally took care of distributing stuff, right?
  469. [01:10] * Harmony puts her pistol away, thinking the last mercenary to be long gone.
  470. [01:10] * Purple_Kay_ rocks to the left, bumping into Razor shoulder to shoulder.
  471. [01:11] * Purple_Kay_ adds a quick extra line to his note. "Equestria to Razor."
  472. [01:11] * Razor glances back to Purple_Kay_. She was a little distracted. She notices his note and frowns. "Not funny."
  473. [01:12] * Proverb sighs, sitting down and pawing at the ground with a hoof.
  474. [01:12] * Purple_Kay_ gets a puzzled look on his face. He writes again. "No, probably not. But at least we are alive to not laugh about it."
  475. [01:13] * Harmony walks over to Proverb, nudging her lightly. "Proverb? So, what happened while you investigated the Society?"
  476. [01:16] * Razor gives a little frustrated snort and glares. She doesn't like how he was trying to make light of the situation. "You're... impossible. You know that?"
  477. [01:17] * Purple_Kay_ takes the paper again. He writes carefully. "I've had a couple close calls. But I made a promise to a pony I truly care for. I can't die until I see it through."
  478. [01:20] * Razor continues frowning. She knows that feeling. She adds, "You had your /face/ shot off! That's... it's serious! Ponies don't just 'not die' when they're missing half their face!"
  479. [01:20] <Green_Field> "Yet he does it very well."
  480. [01:21] <Proverb> "I..." She sniffs. "Well, uhm, y-y-you're w-wanted a-alive only... by uhh D-Diamond Days... but, but th-th-those g-griffons w-weren't t-talking with them..."
  481. [01:21] * Proverb pulls out the contract that she pulled off the griffon and looks at it.
  482. [01:22] * Purple_Kay_ points to his face, a smile in his eyes. He waggles his eyebrows. He jots on the piece of paper. "Face it (ha! face...) You kids are stuck with me."
  483. [01:24] * Harmony nods, looking at the paper.
  484. [01:24] <TenMihara|GM> The Contract Reads: 12,000 Caps for Harmony, pictured below, Alive. Crimes: 2 Murders, Larsony, Violation of Endenturment Contract. There's a picture of Harmony's face, and at the bottom it's signed by two sets of Initials. 'GG' and 'SL'
  485. [01:25] <Proverb> "And... a-a-and th-this one's f-for 12,000..."
  486. [01:25] * Harmony frowns, staring at the SL initials, ignoring the amount.
  487. [01:25] * Harmony looks up to Proverb. "Do... do you know whose initials these are?"
  488. [01:26] <Proverb> "I... uhm..." She racks her brain.
  489. [01:26] * Purple_Kay_ chuckles a little and the bandage around his muzzle darkens as it turns into more of a coughing wheez.
  490. [01:27] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb can speculate that GG might stand for Geoffery Griffon... or some other surname. The SL she's clueless about
  491. [01:28] <Proverb> "N-No... s-s-s-sorry..."
  492. [01:28] <Proverb> "I d-d-dunno..."
  493. [01:29] * Razor gives Purple_Kay_ a scowl and gives him a forceful shove. "Not. Funny."
  494. [01:29] * Harmony nods. "It is... alright." Her frown deepens, just staring back down at the papers.
  495. [01:31] * Proverb shakes her head. "N-No it's... i-i-it's n-n-not..."
  496. [01:32] * Purple_Kay_ gets his little fit under control. He jots down another note and lays it in front of him as he raises his forleg to her withers. "I'm sorry. I'll be serious. It hurts, but I'm used to that. I'm just glad to be alive, with you, all of you. But you particularly. I meant it when I said I was with you and I'm awful stubborn."
  497. [01:32] <Proverb> "They... th-th-th-they w-w-wanna t-t-take y-you back, and, and th-then p-p-probably k-kill you, and, and, and..."
  498. [01:34] * Logic_Gates just silently glares at Proverb.
  499. [01:35] * Harmony shakes her head, turning her attention away from the note and shrugs. "Do not worry yourself with that, Proverb. I am fine, and we are all alive." She leans in and gives Proverb a light hug.
  500. [01:36] <Proverb> "I'm s-s-s-sorry..." She buries her face into Harmony's coat and hugs back.
  501. [01:38] * Razor reads the new note. She scrunches her nose out of emotional confusion. She just... doesn't know how to feel.
  502. [01:39] * Harmony holds Proverb close, relaxing slightly. "There is nothing for you to be sorry for."
  503. [01:40] * Purple_Kay_ moves his hoof from her withers up to muss her mane. He can't be serious too long. He scribbles "Megamart" on the paper and motions toward the town. He could really use a... dammit.
  504. [01:41] * Logic_Gates agrees, and starts heading that way. "Proverb. You're helping me go ratting. I need a few for experiments."
  505. [01:42] * Harmony releases the hug. "We should be on our way. Purple_Kay will need to rest back at Megamart."
  506. [01:43] <Proverb> "But... but... I n-n-n-nearly g-got M-M-Mister K-Kay killed..." She sniffles, nodding. "I... I guess..."
  507. [01:45] * Harmony kisses Proverb's cheek. "But you did not, and in the end, he will recover. Just let us know next time, please..."
  508. [01:45] * Razor nods to Purple_Kay_. She glances over to the others, and calls out, "Hey! It's time to go!"
  509. [01:47] * Proverb nods, sniffling.
  510. [01:48] * Harmony quickly nibbles on one of Proverb's wings before turning to leave for Megamart. "And do not think you are getting out of your punishment~"
  511. [01:50] * Proverb meeps, and blushes hotly.
  512. [01:50] * Proverb decides to walk along next to Harmony on their way back, rather than fly.
  513. [01:51] * Razor returns to scanning the sky as they head out. She sticks next to Purple_Kay_ as they go, though.
  514. [01:51] * Purple_Kay_ looks around for Green. When he sees the coast is clear he takes his knife and cuts a small hole in the front of the bandage. Just big enough to fit the backend of a cigarette through. He lights it and takes a drag.
  515. [01:57] <TenMihara|GM> The group manages to make it back to Megamart without getting shot at again
  516. [01:57] <TenMihara|GM> *****End Session 24*****
  517. [01:57] * RadioHooves peeks from behind the closed curtain and waves to the audience.
