FoE PNP Group 9 Session 20

[17:00] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  *** PnP Group Number Nine: Session 20 ***
[17:01] * Challenger ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[17:03] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Previously on Group Number Nine, Cloudy_Breeze left Desert_Eagle hanging, Strifer poked Wraith a few times, and Challenger snored. Lollygag a lovely purchase, and, with the help of the pegasi, Torque Wrench repaired her old rust bucket, a pre-war package car. We join the group as the ponies from the clinic enter the garage. The car is humming softly.
[17:04] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque Wrench scratches her neck and looks the group over. "So," She asks, "Who's driving?"
[17:05] <Desert_Eagle> "Uhh, ah guess ah can, iff'n Breezy here ain't wantin' to."
[17:06] * Wraith lays in her bed
[17:07] * Challenger yawns.
[17:07] * Strifer is still carrying Challenger over her back, grunting somewhat as she enters the garrage. She moves up towards the cart to dump the sleeping lump in a suitable location. "I fucking swear Chall, you owe me big fucking time." She mutters. As she dump the buck down in the cart.
[17:07] * Lollygag ignores the mechanic for the time being and looks to the fillies, "You two look like you're doing alright here, I'm glad."
[17:08] * Challenger erfs upon landing in the cart, somehow still asleep.
[17:08] * Cloudy_Breeze shrugs at Desert_Eagle. "Go for it."
[17:08] <Strifer> ((car and car*))
[17:09] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The fillies exchange glances and nod. "Thank you, Ms. Lollipop!" The younger says. The older one flashes a confident smile. "Yeah! We're going to help tons of ponies earn their freedom!"
[17:12] * Desert_Eagle nods, climbing up into the drivers seat. He looks over all of the controls, frowning slightly. "This's gonna be fun."
[17:13] * Lollygag smiles back happily, "That's wonderful. What a perfect way to make the best of what you have." She looks back to her team, "Well next time we meet, you'll have to tell me all about all the ponies you've helped. Stay safe until then."
[17:13] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque nods slowly and scoots in next to him, sitting partially on the driver's seat too. "Okay! Pay -really- close attention."
[17:14] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Ah'm all ears."
[17:14] * Strifer leaves Challenger in the car, frowning she looks around and with heavy stomps she moves back towards the clinic to fetch Wraith. Calling back to the others before leaving she adds. "Make sure we get our shit back!"
[17:16] * SpencerDespenser|GM begins speaking very quickly and pointing to all the important gauges, buttons, and dials. "But really, all you want to pay attention to is the engine tempurature gauge, fuel gauge, and spedometer. This think -cannot- go over 50 mph, or the engine... might... blow up or something."
[17:17] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque Wrench does that*
[17:18] * Strifer enters the clinic with a wide grin at Wraith, whom she assumes is still laying in the bed.
[17:18] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Keep it under fifty, gotcha."
[17:18] * Cloudy_Breeze eyes the mechanic. "That seems... like a serious design flaw."
[17:18] * Wraith is laying in her bed with her head propped up by a pillow "Hey Strife. How's things going?"
[17:19] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque frowns at Cloudy_Breeze. "Hey, this rust bucket is almost 100 years old! Cut the old girl some slack, Yellow!"
[17:19] * Desert_Eagle chuckles. "Yellow, ah'm gonna use that one." He adjusts his Aviators.
[17:20] * Strifer moves around the be and starts pushing it towards the bed towards the exit. "Hey yourself smallstuff, so are you fucking ready to fly or what?! Oh yeah, we have our very own bathtub to fly in.. Its gonna be... Awesome."
[17:20] <Wraith> "Aww, I wanted to fly in a magic school bus."
[17:20] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The fillies both wrap Lollygag in a tight hug and smile. "Yes! We certainly will! We hope you guys make it back okay!"
[17:21] * Cloudy_Breeze glares at Desert_Eagle.
[17:22] * Desert_Eagle grins back at Cloudy_Breeze.
[17:22] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque slides out of the cabin and onto the garage floor. A guard trots in, hauling two carts of gear behind him. It's all your stuff, sans bottlecaps and gemstones. "Oh, and we found some packages by the wreckage of this thing. They're all in the back of the truck. Feel free to take whatever you need."
[17:24] * Strifer snerks and moves towards the garrage, her nonexistant tail flicking behind her as she moves. "Oh Im sure we can spice the ride up quite a bit once I have all my shit again." She stops the clinic bed for a moment. "Oh they better not have messed with any of my stuff.. Shit's going to get real if they have..." She says half snarling before she continues
[17:24] * Lollygag hugs the fillies back, "We'll be back, better than ever. Just you wait and see." She hears the guard and nods a little, giving the fillies another quick squeeze in the hug, "Well, I have to go, see you again soon."
[17:26] <Wraith> "According to the doc they leave everything intact, they just take your caps and any gemstones you have. Which is good because that means I can still pay this griffon we're going to visit apparently.
[17:27] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The fillies give Lollygag one last smile before departing with the guard. Torque wipes her brow with a dirty rag and stretches out. "Well, let me get this door open, and you lot are ready to leave." She says, trotting to the large garage doors and throwing them open with a strong buck.
[17:28] * Night ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[17:28] * Cloudy_Breeze glances over at the guard that's brought their stuff. She immediately goes to get hers.
[17:28] * Night ([email protected]) has left #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[17:28] * Desert_Eagle hops out as well, trotting over to the cart. "'Bout damn time." He digs through it, pulling out all of his stuff. He pulls his 199 Security barding on, throwing his Markspony Carbine over his back and jamming his 10 mil into a holster.
[17:30] * Lollygag gives the fillies her biggest smile in return before trotting over to the carts holding their gear. She spots her saddlebags quickly enough and gives them a quick search, making sure her books and the cereal were still there.
[17:31] * Cloudy_Breeze is more than a little ticked off at the lack of caps. She had been planning to use them as soon as she could find a place that actually had enough to call itself a shop.
[17:31] * Strifer frowns furhter. "All my gemstones! Those where worth atleast.. Ah, ALOT! of caps, fuck!" She enters the garage togehter with Wraith, she starts to push the bed towards the car. "Ugh, here it- MY SHIT!" She cries out, pouncing the carts and digs out all of her gear.
[17:31] * Wraith smirks as her bed rolls to a stop
[17:33] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque finally opens the back doors of the car and lowers the access ramp. "All right, let's get her in there."
[17:33] * Challenger twitches in his sleep and mutters, "...giant is killing..."
[17:33] * Cloudy_Breeze mutters, "If they think they can keep 'em and get away with it... they're gettin' a rude awakening, soon."
[17:34] * Desert_Eagle frowns as he pulls out his old pair of Aviators, the frame all twisted like somepony had stepped on them. "Damn it. Ah well, got a new pair anyway." He pulls all of Chal's stuff out, and throws it in the back before climbing back into the driver's seat.
[17:34] * Strifer rolls on the floor to get her gear sorted, squeeling happily as she finds her powerhoof amongst the gear.
[17:35] <Strifer> "Come to mommy! I've missed you!" She grins widde as she equips it on one of her forehooves.
[17:36] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque gives Wraith's cot a rough bump and pushes it into the back, starting to strap it down. Inside are a few small shelves, some still with brown carboard packages on them.
[17:36] * Lollygag pauses as she's looking through her saddlebags, everything's there, but... there's also a lable taped across that one gun. She stares at it a few moments before it finally clicks, "Breakwater... that's right... now I remember." With a grin she closes up her saddlebags and slides them on.
[17:37] * Wraith calls out, wincing. Her throat still hurts when she talks occasionally "Can somepony grab my shit? Not like I can."
[17:38] * Strifer scurries through her saddlebag for a minute before pulling out Lollygags Energy weapon. "Hey, Smallstuff! I think they got our shit mixed up or something.. " She grins wide and tosses it towards Lollygag. "Think fast!"
[17:41] * Strifer ([email protected]) Quit ( Quit: Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot. )
[17:43] * Strifer ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[17:43] * Lollygag is caught unprepared by the thrown weapon, giving a small cry as it smacks her and bounces off. She shakes her head, starting to come up with some kind of swear, but the sight of the rifle stops her. She looks between it and Strifer for a moment before smiling and moving to pick it up, "They must not have thought a pony like me would have a weapon. Thanks!"
[17:45] * Strifer grins and shrugs a little. Gathering up the rest of her gear. She moves up to the car and climbs inside.
[17:47] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The car only seats two, one in the driver's seat, and one in a fold-out jump seat. One of the shelves in the back looks low enough to sit on.
[17:50] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  And they seats are -very- uncomfortable.
[17:52] * Lollygag carefully slings her rifle back over her shoulder then makes her way to the back of the truck, taking a seat on the uncomfortable shelf.
[17:54] * Strifer takes one of the -very- uncomroftable seats and kicks back. Her eyes darting over the interior of the car. "Come on, pony up and get too it! Lets get going already!" Her grin widening, shes practily bouncing in her seat
[17:55] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque swings around to the front of the car and smiles up at Desert Eagle. "All right, once everypony is on board, try putting her in reverse."
[17:56] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Get in Breezy!"
[17:58] * Strifer nuzzles into her saddlebags as the others prepares themselves.. She pulls out a inhaler of DASH and takes a long drag of it. Noteciably tensing for a moment before relaxing and looking up towards the roof of the car. "Mmmh yes.." She mumbles, one of her rearlegs trembling
[17:58] * Cloudy_Breeze climbs in the back.
[17:59] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The mechanic steps clear of the vehicle and nods to Desert_Eagle. "All right, close the doors in the back and hit it!"
[18:00] * Strifer looks around with a cocky expression, she could take anything on whiles on DASH.
[18:01] * Desert_Eagle puts the truck/car/van/what-have-you into Reverse!
[18:01] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The doors in the rear close, and the PACKAGE CAR rolls out of the garage, and onto a long gravel driveway. "Okay! Put her in neutral and cut the wheel!"
[18:03] * Lollygag wasn't quite as ready for the sudden motion as she thought she was, and nearly faceplants off the shelf, just managing to catch herself.
[18:03] * Desert_Eagle nods, shifting into neutral and cutting said wheel... of the EPS Van?
[18:04] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque nods and trots over. "Okay, you're ready to roll! Just try not to tip it, okay? No sharp turns." The car clearly says "Dinky's Deliveries" on the side of it.
[18:04] * Wraith is strapped into a bed that is strapped onto the van. She doesn't have much of a problem
[18:04] * Strifer lets out a slight cackling giggle at Lollygags near faceplant.
[18:05] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  "Oh, one last thing!" She says, reaching in to the cabin and flicking a switch. "Tuneage! Take car of that car, got it?" She says as the on-board radio crackles to life.
[18:06] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Ah'll take care o' 'er fer yah."
[18:06] * Lollygag gives Strifer a look, "Hey, I'm used to wagons, okay?"
[18:08] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The road out of New Bridle is long, winding, and flanked by the burnt husks of once-mighty trees. A gruff, grizzled voice fills the cabin. “Fillies and gentlecolts! It is I, Azores! King of Manetana! Kneel before me and- Pfffffffffffffff- hehehehe hahahahaha! Just kidding, folks. It’s me, DJ Easy Listening. That last song was by a group out of Clopston, The Stables, telling us how much they ‘love that dirty wa
[18:08] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  ... Speaking of dirty water, local whack job-AHERM- marine ecologist Mud Puddle released a report today, stating that the water in Shimmer Lake is so volatile, that anypony exposed to it would likely die almost instantly. Seems like somepony’s just afraid of getting wet.”
[18:09] * Challenger snorts as he wakes up. "Buh..?"
[18:09] * Wraith tries to fidget "Hey, Strife, can you do me a favor?"
[18:10] * Desert_Eagle drives the oversized, top-heavy car down said road.
[18:10] <Wraith> "Or anypony back here, really
[18:10] * Strifer smirks at Lollygag, rocking out of her spot she moves up to take the front seat of the car.
[18:11] * Wraith grumbles and tries to shrug the fidgets her way over until she can see her bags and starts sifting through it weakly with telekinesis, looking for her cigarettes. It's been like a week. Mare needs a smoke.
[18:11] <Wraith> then*
[18:11] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Easy Listening continues with the news. “It seems that a pack of raiders travelling through the mountains set fire to a cabin in the Sunshine Pines campground a few days ago. Nopony is  -reported- dead, but nopony knows for certain. Now that’s enough of me blathering about the news, let’s get back to one of my favorite country songs. Here’s Haywire with “Big Rock Candy Mountain.” Enjoy, I know I will.”
[18:12] * Challenger looks around, taking in the strange surroundings. "Uhm... somepony wanna tell me what the entire fuck is going on?"
[18:12] * Lollygag looks at Wraith, very carefully getting off the bench, "Oh, here, I can help you. What are yaa-" She stumbles a little as the car makes a turn, catching herself, "What are you l-looking for?"
[18:13] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The car lurches a little as the engine clicks loudly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqowmHgxVJQ fills the cabin and package bay.
[18:13] * Wraith tils her head to look at Lollygag "My cigarettes."
[18:13] * Desert_Eagle rolls down his window.
[18:14] * Cloudy_Breeze isn't really enjoying the ride that much. She'd rather be flying.
[18:15] * Lollygag nods and very carefully makes her way to Wraith's saddlebags, taking a look for the cigarettes. When she finally finds them, she pulls them out, and holds them out for Wraith to take.
[18:16] * Wraith smiles and takes the cigarettes from Lolly and pulling her lighter out of it's little pounch in her bags "Thanks Lolly." She looks over at Challenger "And morning, sleepyhead."
[18:16] * Strifer suddenly gets a panicked look on her face. Her pupils shrink and she looks about franticly. "Oh, Sweet Celestia no!", her voice sounds more ladylike then ever. She climbs up on her seat and lets out a few panting breaths. "We'we cannot delay, it is not safe here. Sir, you must hurry!" She almost shrieks at Desert Eagle.
[18:17] <Challenger> "How long was I out?
[18:17] <Challenger> "
[18:17] <Wraith> "What, like a week. You know you snore? Loudly?"
[18:18] * Desert_Eagle raises an eyebow, looking over at Strifer. "This thing c'n only do fifty, an' ah'm goin' fourty."
[18:18] * Challenger raises an eyebrow. "Do I even want to know what happened to you?"
[18:19] * Wraith pulls one of her cigarettes out and puts it in her lips. She lights it and takes a long drag, going into a coughing fit that leaves her panting for air "Stupid shot up lungs. And no. You don't."
[18:19] * Lollygag settles down onto the floor next to Wraith, "You're welcome." She smiles at Challenger, "It's good to see you awake. By the way, you're 'my property' now." She adds hoofwiggles for emphasis.
[18:20] * Challenger stares at Lolly. "Come again?"
[18:20] <Wraith> "She bought us."
[18:20] * Wraith takes another drag and goes into another, less extreme coughing fit "Luna damn it."
[18:21] * Cloudy_Breeze eyes Strifer. "What's the problem?"
[18:21] * Lollygag nods, looking up to the front of the car with a little concern, "Yeah, the ponies that shot us were slavers. So I had to buy you all to get you freed, but I guess you slept through it."
[18:22] * Wraith looks around for something to distract herself with and settles on one of the brown packages. She takes it off the shelf with her telekinesis and sets it on the bed next to her
[18:22] * Wraith starts rooting around in her bags for a scalpel to cut the tape
[18:22] * Challenger narrows his eyes. "Nothin against you Lolly, but I'm really not okay with being property."
[18:24] * Strifer rolls her head for a second before looking into the distance with tearfilled eyes. Her panting breaths escalates as she lets out a whimpering crying sound. "Oh sweet Luna I do not want to die, I didnt expect.. We coulnt have known!" She moves franticaly in her seat for a moment before nodding. Looking absolutely panic stricken.
[18:24] * Lollygag shrugs a little, "I'm sure you would have been much less pleased with your previous owner."
[18:24] <Challenger> "ANY owner!!"
[18:25] * Desert_Eagle frowns, and just drives.
[18:26] * Wraith cuts the tape on the box and opens it, looking inside "Oh calm down, Challenger. It's Lollygag. What's the worst she could make us do?"
[18:26] <Strifer> "T-thank you so much Sir, for everything!" She cries out before opening the door on her side and jumping out of the car.
[18:27] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The package contains three packs of cigarettes and a "Tobacco Enthusiast" magazine.
[18:27] * Challenger grumbles. "Where's my stuff at?"
[18:27] * Desert_Eagle blinks. "Shit..." He hits the brakes.
[18:27] * Wraith 's mouth drops "Oh Luna it must be my birthday
[18:28] * Lollygag glares back at Challenger, wanting to say something badly but stopping herself. Instead she just turns to see what Wraith is up to, before falling over as the car suddenly stops.
[18:28] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The car's breaks are fairly good, and it stops violently. Packages spill off the shelves as the wheels dig into the gravel.
[18:29] * Wraith is slammed against the straps of her bed and whimpers
[18:29] * Challenger is thrown toward the front of the vehicle. "Ow! What the fuck??"
[18:30] * Wraith watches the box fly off her bed "No! My cigarettes! What the fuck is going on up there?!"
[18:30] * Wraith wants to hold her chest. fuck it hurts. stupid legs being trapped under straps
[18:31] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Strifer tumbles out of the car as it passes, and hits the ground hard. She rolls down a small slope and into a small, irradiated stream. A little blood trickles down from her forehead.
[18:31] * Lollygag tries to curl up to keep the boxes from hitting her face as she slides over the floor.
[18:31] * Challenger shoves his bleeding head into the driver's area. "What the fuck is going on?"
[18:33] * Strifer whimpers and curls up in the stream.
[18:33] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle looks out the door and undoes his seatbelt. "Shit! Strifer just... jumped out!"
[18:34] * Challenger blinks. "Aww fuck." He gallops to the back and bucks open the door, leaping out to go after her.
[18:35] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Challenger, still a little wobbly from not moving for a week, stumbles on his way out of the door, and faceplants into the gravel.
[18:35] * Lollygag stands up shakily from under the boxes that had tumbled down, "What... what happened to Strifer?"
[18:36] * Challenger grunts and get's to his hooves. "Damnit Strifer..."
[18:36] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle rushes out of the door after Challenger, carefully stepping over him. "She just... jumped! C'mon!"
[18:36] * Cloudy_Breeze manages to keep herself from falling. She jumps out the back once she hears Desert_Eagle shouting. "Why the hell...?"
[18:36] * Strifer weekly atempts to standup, groaning she moves in a unknown direction. Her head spinning as she whimpers. "N-no! I.. I wont be yours!" She says, slowly turning around standing up straight, shivering  she gives the horizon a defying glare.
[18:37] * Lollygag climbs very carefully down from the back of the car, taking off after the others.
[18:37] * Challenger gallops after the crazy mare.
[18:37] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Strifer isn't too far behind them. The group finds her wallowing in the stream in a minute or two.
[18:38] * Challenger stops next to the stream. "Strifer... What the fuck?"
[18:40] * Strifer weekly thrusts a hoof out towards Challenger and the others. Quietly she mumbles, her voice barely hearable over the sound of the trickling stream. "Sw-Sweetie I.. Is that you?"
[18:41] * Challenger blinks. "Erm.. yes?"
[18:43] * Cloudy_Breeze is more than a little confused. "The hell is wrong with her...?"
[18:44] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The song changes back in the van to a Sweetie Belle tune. It's quite pretty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgcy-V6YIuI
[18:45] * Lollygag trots up cautiously, stopping a short distance back from the others
[18:45] * Strifer stretches her hoof out further, half her body still underneeth the water of the stream. "It.. It killed e-veryone else." She sniffs quietly as tears begins to form again. "It was so dark.. It needed S-s-slaves.. I.. I was so afraid Sweetie B-Bell."
[18:46] * Challenger trots down beside Strifer. "How hard did you hit your head? And why the hell did you jump out in the first place?"
[18:50] * Strifer puts her hoof ontop of Challengers. "S-section 39? Good.. " She rolls over and looks towards the other edge of the stream. "For how long, for how long do I have to stay hospitalized?" She says with another quiet sniff. "T-there is so much to do.. I.. I cant stay in bed"
[18:52] * Challenger is thoroughly confused now. "Strifer..."
[18:52] * Lollygag looks down at Strifer in the water, sadness trying to claw its way out from inside her. She lets out a soft sigh, "Don't rush anything, Chall. Let's just get her back safe, okay?"
[18:53] * Challenger nods, then lifts her onto his back. "Come on you."
[18:54] * Wraith figuratively twiddles her hooves. She does float the cigarette packs back over, along with the magazine and starts flipping through it
[18:56] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The magazine tells of different types of cigars, cigarettes, pipes, and bongs. Wonderous flavors of tobacco, cases, and classy places to smoke unfold before Wraith. It's a very well produced magazine.
[18:56] * Strifer shakes her head slowly, whimpering as she does before suddenly perking up a little. "Ah.. A visitor, how l-lovely.. Oh, it is you.." She mumbles the last bits as she is lifted up to Challengers back. Seemingly unconcious.
[18:56] * Wraith ooo's. That's a nice looking pipe.
[18:58] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The radio emits a loud static as the channels change, seemingly on their own. "Fea- Come in Feath- You th-" a voice asks, disrupting the static.
[18:59] * Wraith perks up "Hey I'm not alone in here right?"
[19:00] * Lollygag sighs softly again, and waits to follow Challenger back to the car.
[19:00] * Wraith tries to turn the knob to get the frequency to come in better. She's nosey.
[19:01] * Challenger trots carefully to the vehicle. "Damn crazy mare. Why do I seem to always be carrying you somewhere.."
[19:01] <Challenger> "Lucky I like you so much..."
[19:01] * Cloudy_Breeze follows the others back to the car. She's getting in front this time, not Strifer.
[19:02] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The radio reception gets a little better. It seems Torque Wrench is trying to communicate with the truck. "Hey Feather Duster! You there?"
[19:03] * Challenger climbs in and sets Strifer down on the floor. Those shelves look extremely uncomfy.
[19:03] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle meanders back to the car, climbing into the driver's seat. He looks at the radio curiously. The GM doesn't want to have a conversation with himself.
[19:04] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  In the back of the truck, four of the six packages are on the floor. Wraith's cot remains tied down pretty securely.
[19:05] * Lollygag climbs carefully back up into the back of the car, trotting back over to where Wraith is, "Sorry about running off like that... You doing okay?"
[19:05] <Wraith> "Oh I'm peachy. Somepony is on the radio asking for 'feather duster' though."
[19:07] <Challenger> "Well that's either D or Cloudy." He roots thru his stuff. "Fuck... Seems I was robbed while I was out..."
[19:07] * Cloudy_Breeze climbs into the passenger side. "Somepony make sure to hold her down. So she ain't gonna go jumpin' out again."
[19:07] <Wraith> "We all were, Chall."
[19:07] <Challenger> "So who do I murder to get my caps and precious metals back?"
[19:07] * Wraith fidgets "Maybe you could strap her down like me."
[19:07] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle is too busy making sure that he didn't break the truck. He gets out to look at the brakes, while the radio crackles again. "Any of you morons, pick up the damn radio!"
[19:08] * Wraith looks back at Challenger "A huge group of slavers."
[19:08] * Lollygag nods a little, then turns her attention to the boxes that had fallen on her. Revenge time. She grabs one up at random and starts trying to open it.
[19:08] * Cloudy_Breeze blinks and looks at the radio. That was new. She fiddles with it to see if she can work it.
[19:08] * Wraith passes her scalpel over to Lollygag so she can cut the tape
[19:09] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  There's a small little mouth piece attached to the underside of the dashboard. It looks like the radio can communicate short distances.
[19:09] * Challenger pulls on his armor and slides his pistol back into it's holster.\
[19:10] * Lollygag spits out the small piece of box she'd bittem off and smiles at Wraith, "Thank you." She takes the scalpel carefully and uses it to cut open the box.
[19:10] <Challenger> "What'cha go there, shorty?"
[19:11] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Lollygag's box, which is fairly big, contains two large, thick winter jackets with fur collars. One is blue, the other yellow.
[19:11] * Cloudy_Breeze talks into the radio. "Uh... hello?"
[19:12] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque Wrench barks. "Oi! You guys left before I could tell you how the hell you were supposed to get to perch!"
[19:12] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Perch*
[19:14] * Lollygag pulls the jackets out enough to show the others, "Huh... not really my style..."
[19:14] * Cloudy_Breeze sighs. "You mean that airhead didn't get the directions before he got in the driver's seat?"
[19:15] * Strifer groans slightly. Slowly opening her eyes and groggily looking about before jerking up, hitting her head on the bench. "Ohh.. Fuck." She whimpers, holding her hooves over her head.
[19:15] <Challenger> "Chill, Strifer. You're safe."
[19:16] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Torque chuckles a little. "Yeah, that one. Anyway, what you're going to need to do is take the Long Fifteen all the way to the border. If you need to charge the spark batteries or rest, there's a town about three hours up the road called Sniper's Squatter. The folks there should help, tell 'em Torque sent you!"
[19:17] * Strifer opens her mouth, ready to snap at Challenger. Suddenly she gets a confused look on her face before nodding slowly and laying down on the floor again. "How long was I out...?"
[19:17] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle perks up at the mention of something to do with Snipers. "Hey, what'd she say?"
[19:18] <Challenger> "Not long." He checks his custom rifle. "Few minutes. AFTER jumping out of a moving vehicle."
[19:20] * Lollygag pushes the box of jackets a little away, content to let Challenger explain. She grabs up another box, opening it carefully as well.
[19:20] * Strifer looks up at Challenger. "I.. Fuck me.. I jumped?" Wincing slightly she puts a forehoof on where she got her headwound. She goes quiet for a moment before muttering "But that wasnt what happened.."
[19:20] * Wraith wiggles to the edge of the bed to watch Lollygag open boxes
[19:21] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  This box, identical to the last, has two more jackets inside. Both packages were addressed to "Ranger Station Candy".
[19:21] <Challenger> "It kinda was."
[19:21] * Cloudy_Breeze climbs over into the driver's seat. "She said yer demoted. Hurry up and get in."
[19:22] * Lollygag frowns a little and shows the contents to Wraith, "Looks like I busted. You want to try another?"
[19:23] * Wraith laughs "Sure. Pass one up." She grabs another scalpel out of her bags, the /enclave/ scalpel that was in the /enclave/ labcoat. /enclavey/~
[19:23] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle blinks and frowns, grumbling something as he climbs into the passenger seat. Her fiddles with his rifle.
[19:23] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  He*
[19:23] * Strifer shakes her head. "No.. I mean.. " She groans and sits up. "Ah.. I saw, no, I was, somepony else.. Its all a blur.." She punches a hoof down towards the floor of the car. Looking worried and confused.. "Fuck.."
[19:24] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Wraith's box contains two pairs of snow goggles and a box full of gel hoof-warmers.
[19:24] * Challenger grabs a jacket and puts it over Strifer. "Well, next time, try to keep from taking a nosedive at 40 miles an hour alright?"
[19:24] * Wraith wiggles and puts the goggles on and looks at Lollygag "How do I look?"
[19:25] * Cloudy_Breeze calls back, "Strap yerselves in!"
[19:25] * Lollygag giggles softly, "They match your bandages nicely."
[19:26] * Cloudy_Breeze gives it a moment before getting us moving again! Next stop, Sniper's Squatter.
[19:27] * Challenger grabs another jacket, one large enough for him, and puts it on. "So I take it from the supplies we're bound for cold weather."
[19:27] * Strifer snickers at that.. "Heh, sure. Ill limit myself to 30.." Grinning halfheartedly she looks at the jacket. "What is this for?" Looking about at the othes.
[19:28] * Wraith grins "Why thank you~"
[19:28] * Lollygag looks to Strifer and smiles gently, "Well I'm glad you're alright now. You had us a little worried there."
[19:28] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle clicks his seatbelt on and the vehicle lurches forward. After about ten minutes, the gravel road turns to dirt, which turns to pavement. A cracked, barely legible road sign reads "I-15 North" and points to the left.
[19:28] * Wraith scratches her chin "Not enough for all of us, it looks like."
[19:29] * Challenger lays down on the floorboards next to Strifer. So, how about somepony fill me in on the week's adventures?"
[19:30] <Wraith> "Er...apparently we're heading towards griffon territory. There's a doctor there who can...help me."
[19:31] * Strifer nods slightly at Lollygag. "Yeah, I just lost my mind there for a minute." She grins halfheartedly again. "Nothing to worry about!"
[19:33] * Cloudy_Breeze turns onto the road marked I-15. Onward, to adventure!
[19:34] * Challenger looks at Strifer. "It's not the first time either."
[19:35] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The truck turns like a bloated whale, but doesn't flip as Cloudy_Breeze turns onto the stretch of crumbling highway.
[19:36] * Strifer rolls her eyes at Challenger, poking at him with a hoof. "Those where different.. This.. This just fucking happened!"
[19:37] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  By my count, there are still two boxes that remain unopened.
[19:37] * Lollygag gets carefully to her hooves, nearly falling over again as the car turns. She grabs the last two of the boxes and pushes them to Wraith, "Here, why don't you open these." She then makes her way carefully over to Strifer, settling down on her other side from where Chall is siting.
[19:37] * Wraith shrugs and sets about opening the last two boxes
[19:37] <Challenger> "Different. Right. This time you tried to commit Equiside."
[19:38] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The one of the boxes is far too big to move, but the second is much more manageable.
[19:39] <Challenger> suicide*
[19:40] * Strifer glares and shakes her head. "No. No I didnt, I.. Or whoever this mare was. She was chased, and left in a carriage!" She angirly scrapes hard at the floor with a hoofclaw. "She fucking had ponies around her dying for fuck sake."
[19:41] * Lollygag just ignores that too-big box then. She places a hoof at Strifer's side, "What can we do?"
[19:42] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The smaller of the two one yields a small toolbox, assorted nails, screws, and bolts, and a hoofsaw.
[19:43] * Cloudy_Breeze keeps driving! Yay!
[19:43] * Strifer snaps around at Lollygag. "I dont know, what can you fucking do! There's something in my head, there are memories of somepony else in my fucking head! That can take over without no fucking forewarning what so fucking ever!" She is shouting now, glaring at everything she could.
[19:45] * Wraith ([email protected]) Quit ( Connection closed )
[19:45] * Challenger pokes Strifer. "Chill! She was just asking."
[19:45] * Wraith ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[19:46] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The radio is still on, static filling the open channel. The ride is peacful, except for the occasional bump.
[19:47] * Wraith shrugs. Somepony will find that useful. She looks over at the bigger box and carefully cuts the tape on it. It's distracting her from the yelling. She never really was that good of a psychologist.
[19:49] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Inside the box, under a warning label and a layer of bubble wrap, are two sets of matching, multi-cam pattern Military Police Barding, a pair of knight-sticks. and three tear gas grenades.
[19:49] * Lollygag would normally start crying... instead she just glares back, though there's still hints of tears in her eyes, "Fine, you don't want our help, then you can keep dealing with it on your own! Because that worked so well!"
[19:50] * Wraith blinks, looking over at Lollygag. Maybe the filly has a bit of a backbone after all..."
[19:50] * Challenger blinks too. "Wow... that escalated quickly."
[19:51] * Wraith blinks "Those tear gas grenades could come in hoofdy. Hey Chal. Take a look in there. maybe there's something you like?"
[19:52] * Challenger gets up and steps over to look. "Nice barding. Dibs."
[19:52] <Wraith> "Well there's two sets...do somepony else want a set of barding?"
[19:52] <Wraith> "Hey cloudy, how about you?"
[19:53] <Challenger> "I say give it to miss Blow Everything Up With Her Body over there."
[19:54] * Strifer glares over at Challenger as she is poked, then at Lollygag again, glaring. "Fine! I fucking will then, I've always been on my own anyway! I dont need your help! We dont need anyone!" She rushes up and punches hard into the side of the car.. Just, standing there. Fuming to herself.
[19:54] * Challenger looks back at Strifer. "We?"
[19:54] * Wraith echoes Challenger "We?"
[19:56] * Lollygag sniffs hard and turns away, rummaging through her saddlebags idly.
[19:56] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The car dents a little. The walls aren't very thick.
[19:58] * Strifer opens her mouth then closes it again. Her expresion changes from angry, to confused Then after a moment mumbling a confused. "We...?" She sits down hard, looking down at her hooves. "The fuck.."
[19:58] * Challenger pulls off his old barding, slipping into the new set, then pulls on his jacket again. "Strifer, chill out. You want help, we'll give it. Just ask."
[20:01] * Cloudy_Breeze glances back only briefly. Eyes on the road. "You're damn right I want armor. I don't like gettin' shot."
[20:01] * Strifer groans and hugs her head. "I.. I feel like I'll snap Chall, that somepony else will take over soon and I cant stop it!" She says with a panic stricken voice.
[20:02] * Lollygag pulls the strange looking energy weapon out of her saddlebags, setting it down on the floor with a loud clank. She then very deliverately goes about checking the mechanism and loading in one of the cells for it.
[20:02] <Challenger> "Can you tell when it's gonna happen?"
[20:04] <Strifer> "No! I can't! I can't even remember jumping out of the car! It was all something else for me!"
[20:05] * Challenger scratches his chin. "Well, if it does happen again, I'll make sure you don't hurt yourself."
[20:08] * Lollygag slaps the energy cell chamber closed, "Well maybe one of those other ponies will accept help."
[20:08] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Up in the distance, Cloudy_Breeze can make out some fluffy white stuff that may or may not be very familiar to her. It's all over the place, and the road. The air is suddenly noticably colder.
[20:08] * Wraith mumbles "Maybe you should stop abusing so many drugs."
[20:09] * Strifer stares wideeyed and hysterical. "What If I fucking attacked you though!" She screams, putting her hooves at Challengers shoulders.
[20:09] <Challenger> "What, you think I can't take a hit from you?"
[20:11] * Wraith wiggles "Hey Lolly, could you give me one of those coats? I'm getting kind of cold..." Deagle /did/ roll down the window...
[20:11] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle is fast asleep, with his rifle in his hooves.
[20:11] * Strifer starts to grin, a manical grin that grows wider. "Can you though..? Are you fucking sure?!" She angles her hoofclaw to scratch at the side of Challengers neck.
[20:12] * Challenger grins back. "Anytime you feel tough."
[20:12] * Lollygag smiles up at Wraith, "Sure! Blue or yellow?" She slides the strange gun back into her saddlebag.
[20:13] <Wraith> "Mmmm...Yellow, I guess."
[20:13] * Cloudy_Breeze rolls /up/ the window. Being cold sucks.
[20:13] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Oh yeah, the other coats are candy red and gray.
[20:14] * Lollygag pulls the yellow jacket from its box and carries it over to Wraith, laying it out over the prone pony, "There you go. I suppose I should get one too... ugh... fur is so tackey though..."
[20:14] <Wraith> "Would you rather be cold or look silly, sweetie?"
[20:16] * Strifer pushes that hoofclaw inwards. Her eyes staring wildly into Challengers. "We.."
[20:18] * Wraith smiles "Thank you anyways." She wiggles as much as she can with the throbbing pain and straps securing her will allow. which isn't much.
[20:18] * Challenger ([email protected]) Quit ( Ping timeout: 121 seconds )
[20:19] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  As the car drives onto the snow, it screeches a little. The fuel gauge reads at about 1/8 of full capacity. It was time to recharge soon...
[20:19] * Lollygag smiles a little, "You're welcome, and well... I can handle a little cold, but I guess..." She looks back to the boxes, staring for a few moments before pulling out the gray coat and sliding into it.
[20:23] * Cloudy_Breeze looks out the window for their rest stop. Shouldn't be too long now...
[20:25] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  A large billboard proclaims that Sniper's Squatter is just a few miles ahead. Featured prominently on the billboard is a large camper van, and a large grafitti saying "Rangers Go Home!"
[20:27] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  grafitti tag*
[20:30] * Desert_Eagle wakes up. "Murf, where we at?" He asks, sitting up slowly. He rested his DMR against the dashboard.
[20:31] * Cloudy_Breeze doesn't look at Desert_Eagle. "Maybe if you'd asked for directions, you'd know where we are."
[20:32] * Desert_Eagle grunts. "Ah don't suppose yah did either?"
[20:34] * Cloudy_Breeze rolls her eyes. "Wasn't the one drivin'. Torque had to call in 'cause of you and tell /me/ where to go."
[20:36] * Desert_Eagle grunts again, picking his rifle back up, looking out at the snow. "But seriously, where're we at?"
[20:38] * Challenger ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[20:41] * Challenger glares back, keeping his smile on even as the claw sinks into his skin. "Yes?"
[20:42] * Cloudy_Breeze indicates with a hoof. "Road."
[20:43] <Desert_Eagle> "Figures."
[20:43] * Desert_Eagle starts fiddling with the radio, trying to get a station to come in.
[20:44] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Desert_Eagle and Cloudy_Breeze can clearly spot some lights up in the distance, but only Cloudy_Breeze can hear something... out of place. A faint, faint buzzing. It could be engine trouble...
[20:46] * Strifer keeps staring, pushing the claw further inside. Her hoof shaking. After a moment of glaring into Challengers eyes she removes the claw. "I.. I dont know.." She slumps, shivering, putting her forehooves at the her templates. "I can't fucking do this Chall.. Yes.. You're right, I fucking need help!" She says with a glance around Challenger towards Lollygag aswell.
[20:46] * Cloudy_Breeze mutters, "Shit." She tones down the speed a little. "Come on, you can make it..."
[20:47] * Challenger relaxes and sits down, pulling Strifer into a hug. "Any way we can."
[20:47] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The faint buzzing only grows louder as Breezy quiets the engine.
[20:48] * Desert_Eagle frowns. "Please don't tell me we're gonna have t' push th' damn thing."
[20:48] * Wraith looks over at Strifer.
[20:50] * Lollygag sighs a little and turns her head slowly to look over her shoulder at Strifer too.
[20:50] * Cloudy_Breeze frowns as well. "Just a little more. Don't quit on me now."
[20:50] * Strifer tenses up in Challengers embrace, this felt so very wrong.. Slowly she hugs Challenger back tightly, burying her face into Challenger's chest. A muffeled sniffing noise can be heard for those who pay attention.
[20:51] * Challenger pets her mane.
[20:51] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The truck seems to be running fine, but the buzzing sound grows louder still.
[20:53] * Cloudy_Breeze doesn't like that the sound is getting louder.
[20:53] * Desert_Eagle racks the bolt on his rifle. "Ah don't think it's th' truck..."
[20:53] * Lollygag sighs a little more and turns around, sitting back down to look at Strifer and Challenger, "We do want to help you..."
[20:54] * Wraith sighs. Damn mare, why didn't you just say you needed a hug.
[20:55] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The sounds gets louder and louder. Whatever the sound is, it's loud, and almost right on top of the car at this point.
[20:55] * Wraith flicks an ear "What the hell /is/ that?"
[20:55] * Cloudy_Breeze makes another glance out the window, and calls to the back, "Look alive back there! Somethin's up!"
[20:56] * Desert_Eagle rolls down his window, and carefully peeks his head out into the snow looking around.
[20:56] * Challenger looks at the roof. "You know, I get the distinct feeling that's not a good sound.
[20:56] <Challenger> "
[20:56] * Strifer pulls out from Challengers embrace and wipes her face with a hoof for a moment. "I dont ev-" Her own trashed ears perks up slightly aswell. "...."
[20:58] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Looking up, above the car, Desert_Eagle can clearly make out a large... thing, with rapidly fluttering wings. It's hard looking, spiked carapace is a dark, dark blue. The wings are a bright, bright orange. A ghastly hiss escapse it's proboscus as it glares down at Deagle with bright red eyes.
[20:59] * Desert_Eagle ducks back in and grabs his rifle. "Floor it Breezy!" He sticks his head back out with his gun.
[21:00] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Upon sticking his head back out, the large monster is gone.
[21:00] * Cloudy_Breeze doesn't need to be told that twice. She speeds up!
[21:00] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The buzzing, however, persists. The truck lurches forward as Breezy floors it.
[21:02] * Lollygag is about to open her mouth to comment on the buzzing when the car suddenly accelerates again, throwing her back to the floor, "Maepdaaphh!"
[21:02] <Desert_Eagle> "Come on, where'd yah go!" He scans the area, trying to figure out where the buzzing was coming from now.
[21:02] * Challenger spreads his stance and pulls out his pistol. "The fuck is going on out there?"
[21:03] * Wraith lays there "Oh great. We're going to die, aren't we?"
[21:03] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The car makes some unsettling noises as it speeds up. Even more unsettling is the loud, metallic tearing noise as a dark blue Stinger stabs through the thin metal wall of the driver's side package bay.
[21:03] <Challenger> "DOWN!"
[21:04] <Desert_Eagle> "SHIT!"
[21:04] * Strifer looks between the others in the back of the car. "Helping will have to wait I guess!" She keeps her gaze fixed on the roof. Glaring at it, then glancing at Wraith. "Want us to un- FUCK!"
[21:04] * Lollygag groans, holding her jaw as it aches, the only thing keeping her from jumping at the tearing noise, and the shouting.
[21:05] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Sniper's Squatter looms in the distance, growing nearer. The stinger dislodges itself from the wall, only to stab through a different spot again. There's a loud clunk as something lands on the roof.
[21:05] * Desert_Eagle pulls open his door. "Keep movin'! Ah'll get 'em off o' yah!" He jumps out, taking to the air.
[21:06] * Cloudy_Breeze hunkers down a bit, to avoid a random stinger jabbing itself through her head. That wouldn't be pleasant
[21:06] <Challenger> "Fuck! Strifer, get Wraith off that thing!"
[21:07] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  As Desert_Eagle flings himself into the open air, he can see no less than five of those massive insects swarming the car. Two immediately sense a foreign presence in the air and zip towards him.
[21:08] * Cloudy_Breeze gets an idea. She fiddles with the radio to see if she can broadcast to the town...
[21:08] * Wraith squeaks
[21:09] * Strifer nods. "Right!" She sways and stumbles over to Wraiths bed and start to unclasp her from it. "Alright funsized! Time to  ride the crazymare!" She motions for Wraith to hold onto Strifers neck.
[21:09] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Cloudy_Breeze successfully establishes radion contact with the rather large radio tower in the distance. A rather suprised sounding stallion speaks up. "H-Hello? Who's there?"
[21:09] <Desert_Eagle> "Aww hell no!" He slips into S.A.T.S. (le gasp), and targets two rounds to one, and one to the other.
[21:09] <Desert_Eagle> "Aww hell no!" He slips into S.A.T.S. (le gasp), and targets two rounds to one, and one to the other.
[21:09] <Wraith> "...Oh shit." Wraith nonetheless flops onto Strifer's back and wraps her good leg around Strifer's neck, the right one hanging limply
[21:11] * Strifer glances at the lose limb. "Oh yeah, fuck! Ah.. Uhm.. Right! Tie yourself up to me!" She says with a slight grin over her shoulder. "This can get bumpy!"
[21:12] * Wraith takes one of the straps from the bed in her telekinesis and wraps it around her and Strifer
[21:12] * Cloudy_Breeze gives a relieved sigh. "Requesting help! We're under attack, coming into town from the south!"
[21:13] * Lollygag shakes herself, still aching, and digs into her saddlebags, pulling out her new energy weapon. It may not even work on whatever that was, but it was worth trying.
[21:14] * Strifer steadies herself and lowers herself down to a pre pounce possition. "What the fuck is that thing!?" She says with a grin on her face.
[21:14] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  All three of Desert_Eagle's shots connect, but the bugs really don't seem to give much notice. The radio buck seems to mill that over for a moment. "Under attack?" he asks, ruffling some papers audibly.
[21:15] * Challenger watches the walls. "Fuck if I know. It's gonna tear this thing apart tho whatever it is!"
[21:16] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The more wounded of the two makes a pair of jabs at Desert_Eagle with it's long, painful looking stinger.
[21:17] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  It's first strike connects, leaving a sizable wound in Desert_Eagle's shoulder. As the creature dislodges it's stinger, Desert_Eagle feels a bit woozy.
[21:19] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Meanwhile, a pair of stingers stab their way through the back door of the package car. Deagle's second assailant lunges forward with it's own pair of deadly strikes.
[21:19] * Desert_Eagle yelps. "Gah, fuck! Geoff me!"
[21:19] * Cloudy_Breeze growls slightly, "Yes! There is... /something/ chasing us! It's tearing holes in the truck!"
[21:20] * Challenger turns his aim at the back of the van. "This is rediculous!"
[21:21] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The second strike proves just as deadly, the insect jabbing Desert_Eagle in the other shoulder, ignoring his cries. The radio operator curses under his breath. "Sheeeeet. Okay, we're opening the gates. Just make sure you don't bring those things inside!"
[21:22] * Strifer turns towards the back of the car aswell! "Cmere you little fucks! Mommy has a gift for you!"
[21:23] <Desert_Eagle> "Fuck this." He dives after the van, tumbling back into the cabin and slamming the door shut. "Owwww."
[21:24] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The insects that assaulted Desert_Eagle return to stabbing the truck with their stingers, now bright red with his blood.
[21:24] * Cloudy_Breeze speeds up ever so slightly. Come on. Don't explode.
[21:24] <Wraith> "Strifer don't you dare jump on them with me on your back!"
[21:25] * Challenger looks around warrily. "Next chance we get, we armor this aluminum piece of crap!"
[21:25] * Lollygag readies her gun, the energy cell humming to life, her eyes darting around the cabin to watch for the attacks.
[21:26] * Strifer snickers. "No reins on this pony!" Her gaze keeps fixed at the back of the car.
[21:26] * Desert_Eagle sticks his head out the window, aiming his rifle down the side of the truck and firing off three shots at the nearest bug, before ducking back down. "How much further t' th' town?"
[21:26] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The open gates to Sniper's Squatter are about four-hundred yards away. The insects keep up their barrage, but never make much attempt to actually get inside. Desert_Eagle misses every shot.
[21:29] * Cloudy_Breeze keeps driving. Just a little further...
[21:30] * Desert_Eagle exchanges his rifle for his pistol, sticking his head back out and letting off a barrage of rounds. "Get off yah fuckers!"
[21:31] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  A lone mare steps out in front of the gate, brandishing a scoped rifle. A flurry of gun shots erupt in the night as the corpses of five insects slump off the car. She dives out of the way as the car careens into the town. The heavy gates swing closed as the truck passe through.
[21:32] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  passes*
[21:32] * Desert_Eagle blinks. "Now that's what ah call shootin'!"
[21:33] * Desert_Eagle rolls his window back up, holstering his pistol.
[21:35] <Wraith> "See? They're all dead, Strife. No need to be jumping onto insects.
[21:37] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The frantic cries of dozens of ponies are only barely audible over the smoking, sputtering engine of the package car.
[21:38] * Cloudy_Breeze puts on the brakes, muttering all kinds of various cursewords.
[21:38] * Challenger braces against the braking.
[21:39] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The truck screeches to a halt, jostling everything inside violently.
[21:40] * Strifer smirks. "Pfft, I could have taken the WOAH!" She triest to steady herself the best she can. Stumbling about like a drunk mare during new years eve.
[21:41] * Lollygag should really be more careful... Unprepared again, she falls to the floor again, sliding across it, her gun clattering alongside her as she drops it.
[21:41] * Challenger tumbles despite being ready for the sudden stop.
[21:42] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Lollygag, Challenger, and Strifer fall over during the braking. With Wraith safe on top, they all bunch in a pile near the hatch to the cabin.
[21:42] * Wraith oof's
[21:42] * Challenger erfs.
[21:43] * Strifer faceplants hard and then crashes down next to Challenger.
[21:43] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  A stallion dressed in combat armor and a flashy beret rushes towards the car and throws the back open. "Who's wounded?" He barks, pointing to other ponies dressed like him and signalling them to go to the cabin.
[21:43] * Cloudy_Breeze takes a momentary breather before she hops out the door.
[21:44] * Challenger is, typically, at the bottom of the pile.
[21:44] * Desert_Eagle groans. His shoulders hurt like a bitch. He tumbles out, stumbling a little. "Ow."
[21:44] * Lollygag groans a little, rubbing her jaw again, she mumbles, "Just my pride...
[21:44] * Strifer sits down hard watching tiny Deagles flying around her head.
[21:45] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Two combat ready mares grab Desert_Eagle and heft him onto a stretcher. "None of you are hurt?" He asks as the mares trot briskly into a large medical tent.
[21:45] <Challenger> "I'm fine... I think..."
[21:46] * Desert_Eagle grumbles something about being able to walk as he's carried away.
[21:46] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  "This one got stung, sir!" One of the mare says on their way out. "Shit... Well... shit! He looks the rest of the group over and frowns. "Who are you?"
[21:46] * Strifer shakes the derpy eyes back into normalicy and stands up groggily. Cracking her neck. "I.. Ah, Im fine." Glancing back over her shoulder with a smirk. "Funsize, you good?"
[21:47] * Wraith coughs a little "As fine as I can get..."
[21:47] * Challenger disengages himself from the impromptu pony pile and climbs out. "Name's Challenger. Thanks for letting us in."
[21:48] * Cloudy_Breeze heads toward the back. Makes sure her hat is on straight. "Torque told us to stop by and recharge the battery... had some uninvited guests along the way."
[21:49] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The soldier huffs a little. "Challenger... all right. The hell were you doing on the Long Fifteen- Oh... Torque sent you, did she? Yeah, bet she didn't tell you about the Cazadorables. Well, we'll treat your friend's wounds for now, but there's only more of those monsters up the road."
[21:50] <Challenger> "Cazadorables?"
[21:50] * Strifer jumps out of the car, Wraith still on her back. "Alright then.."
[21:51] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  He nods slowly. "Yeah, those things that attacked you. Nasty ones. Their poision is pretty lethal, but he'll make it." Inside the medical tent, Desert_Eagle is put on some heavy pain-meds. It -is- the most painful insect bite on the planet.
[21:51] * Lollygag sits up very slowly, taking a few moments to steady herself before retriving her gun. She shuts it back down and tucks it into her saddlebag again.
[21:51] <Challenger> "I was in the back. Didn't get much more of a look than their stingers pokin thru the walls."
[21:52] * Cloudy_Breeze mutters, "Had to focus on not lettin' us crash. But he," she indicates Desert_Eagle, "tried to shoot 'em. Guess it didn't go so well."
[21:53] * Desert_Eagle didn't think it went so well either.
[21:53] * Wraith pokes her head up so she can see things other than Strifer's mane
[21:54] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Two more ponis in berets and overalls trot over and start examining the truck. "The hell is it..." one whispers. The one who looks to be the leader nods. "Yeah, you may need something a little more... potent to take them down." Wraith sees the burly pony in armor, and a few others scurrying around behind him.
[21:55] <Challenger> "I'd ask of you guys had armor for sale, but we kind of got robbed last town we were at."
[21:56] <Challenger> armor for the van*
[21:56] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The stallion looks Challenger over. "Van, huh? That's the piece of crap Torque set you up with? Well... we could fix it, and if you can't pay with caps... you coud pay with work."
[21:57] <Challenger> "Sounds fine. What kind of work?"
[21:58] * Cloudy_Breeze goes to find Wraith. She whispers, "You said ya had some armor for me to wear?"
[21:59] * Strifer is moving about aimlessly, sticking close to the car though, Wraith still on her back.
[21:59] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  He takes a deep breath and looks the van over. "Dinky's Deliveries... No shit... Hmmmm. I think I know how you can help. But, before we jump to anything else, why don't we find you guys some lodging?"
[22:00] * Challenger nods. "Lead on."
[22:01] * Challenger looks back at his friends. "Lets go guys. Any port in a storm."
[22:01] * Desert_Eagle is probably asking whoever was treating him who the pony that shot the bugs off the van was.
[22:01] * Wraith keeps her leg around Strifer's neck to keep herself steady
[22:02] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The stallion trots over to a long line of single story cabins. "Name's Feldspar, by the way." The nurses shoosh Desert_Eagle and continue to tend to his wounds.
[22:02] <Challenger> "Feldspar. Take care of Desert Eagle for us. He's a helluv a pony."
[22:03] * Lollygag trots after the rest of the group, stretching her neck slowly
[22:03] * Wraith looks at Cloudy_Breeze "Yea. It's in the back of the truck. There's a big box with a set of barding in it."
[22:03] * Cloudy_Breeze nods. She heads back to the truck to retrieve it.
[22:03] * Desert_Eagle frowns at being shooshed.
[22:04] * Challenger looks around as he follows Feldspar. "You folks wouldn't happen to have powered armor stashed somewhere, would you?"
[22:04] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Feldspar nods and tosses Challenger a keyring. "Those cabins fit two. Rest up, and we'll take good care of your friend."
[22:05] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  He gives Challenger a funny look. "That's a joke, right?"
[22:05] * Wraith is now known as Snuffles
[22:05] * Challenger laughs, but sounds disappointed. "Yeah... unfortunately..."
[22:05] * Snuffles is now known as Wraith
[22:06] * Challenger trots up to one of the cabins and opens the door.
[22:06] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Feldspar whistles a tune as he trots off. "Try not to ruin the cabin like you ruined your ride."
[22:06] * Cloudy_Breeze re-joins the group after grabbing the armor and storing it away.
[22:06] * Challenger calls after him. "We did have some help with that, you know!"
[22:07] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  He chuckles and resumes his whistling.
[22:07] * Lollygag points to one of the cabins to the side, "Here, give me the key for that one... I'd like some time alone."
[22:07] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The rooms are cozy and lived in, lit and heated by a small wood stove. Each one has a pair of comfy looking cots, and a single dresser to keep stuff in.
[22:08] <Challenger> "Alright. Who wants which cabin? I call dibs on this one, who's my roomie?
[22:08] <Challenger> "
[22:08] * Strifer moves up next to Challenger with a smirk. "So I heard we're getting free stuff.. Again." Glancing him up and down she adds. "What kind of favors are you pulling to get these kind of things."
[22:09] * Challenger grins. "I work hard for it. Or at least I will."
[22:12] * Desert_Eagle tries asking about that pony again.
[22:13] * Lollygag taps a hoof on the ground, "Hey, mortar-butt. Key, please."
[22:13] * Wraith lays her muzzle on Strifer's neck
[22:13] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  One of the nurses departs and the other lies back and sighs. "Why do you want to know?"
[22:14] * Challenger somehow gets a key loose and hoofs over the ring to Lolly. "Take your pick. Might wanna take Wraith with you."
[22:14] <Wraith> "Because Lolly can totally carry me. We're like the same size."
[22:15] * Strifer smirks at Challenger. "Oh I fucking be- " She  freezes up and looks over her shoulder again. "You needed something Funsized?"
[22:15] <Desert_Eagle> "'Cause that was some damned fine shootin', an' ah'm curious as t' what kind o' rifle she was usin'."
[22:15] * Challenger thinks, then, "...yep. Would totally work."
[22:15] * Lollygag pulls the key she'd wanted off the ring and trots away to the other cabin without saying anything else, leaving the keyring lying on the floor.
[22:15] <Wraith> "Hm?"
[22:16] * Wraith looks up at Strifer with her one eye
[22:16] * Strifer blinks. "What?"
[22:16] <Wraith> "What what?"
[22:16] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The nurse lights a cigarette and frowns. "Her name is... Zemblanity."
[22:16] * Strifer frowns. "I asked first!"
[22:16] * Challenger sighs. Well, y'all figure it out. I'm gonna go see what kind of work I'm doing to pay for us." He trots off in the direction Feldspar went.
[22:17] <Wraith> "I was talking to Challenger a second ago. is that what you meant?"
[22:18] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Thank yah kindly miss. An' uhh, when do ah get outta 'ere?"
[22:18] * Cloudy_Breeze sighs and grabs another key off the ring, heading off to that cabin, muttering, "Y'all can figure it out fer yerselves."
[22:19] * Strifer blinks again. "Fuck.. I dont know.." She shrugs.
[22:19] * Wraith boops Strifer with her muzzle "Don't worry about it then."
[22:20] * SpencerDespenser|GM looks over at the heart monitor hooked up to his hoof. "Till that poison runs it's course, and until those wounds heal. You're a lucky one, kid."
[22:20] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  *The nurse does that
[22:21] * Cloudy_Breeze goes about the long process of putting on her new set of armor, as well as putting on her saddle, once she gets to her room. She removes the nametag though.
[22:22] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The world of ponies who didn't know Breezy's name will no longer refer to her as "Private Snap."
[22:22] * Strifer blinks confused again, she groans, shaking her head. Muttring to herself. "Fuck braindamage is some tough shit.." Glancing over at Wraith. "So who would you prefer with you tonight! Smallstuff, one of the Turkys? Maybe Tincan? Ill just leave you at one of their cabins I guess."
[22:22] * Desert_Eagle grunts. "Damn things are tough t' kill."
[22:23] <Wraith> "Apparently Challenger's put me with Lollygag."
[22:23] * Lollygag locks the door behind her as she enters her cabin. Fighting the urge to toss the key into the stove, she instead sets it on the dresser before through said object, making sure nothing was left inside.
[22:23] * Challenger ends up at the medical building. "Uh, I'm looking for a friend of mine, came in here a few minutes ago?"
[22:23] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The nurse snickers, blowing smoke out of her mouth. "Tough? Try impossible. You can hurt it, but you can't kill it."
[22:24] * Strifer shrugs. "Aight, fine with me." She trotts towards the cabin Lollygag had headed too. "Just dont get used to this shit, aight?"
[22:24] * Desert_Eagle cocks an eyebrow. "Ah'll believe yah when ah see one take a .50 t' th' chest an' get back up 'gain."
[22:25] <Wraith> "Course not. Getting carried around like some kind of pony royalty. Who would like something silly like that?" she grins
[22:25] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The pony at the desk points to one of the small "rooms" inside the tent. "Right there." The nurse snorts. "Kid... you just rest. No use straining yourself trying to make me think you're tough."
[22:26] * Challenger pokes his head into the indicated room. "D? You alive?
[22:26] <Challenger> "
[22:26] <Desert_Eagle> "Yeah, ah'm fine Chal. Glad t' see yah up'n movin' again though."
[22:27] <Challenger> "Yeah... whatever they used to put me under fully they overdid."
[22:27] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The room's only occupants are Desert_Eagle, who is lying in bed with an IV and heart monitor hooked up to him, and the smoking nurse. She's dressed like Feldspar.
[22:27] * Challenger looks at the smoking nurse. "...so this is a hygenic room then."
[22:28] * Desert_Eagle nods, chuckling. "Yer so damn big, they pro'lly jus' used all they had on yah."
[22:28] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  She looks up at him and studies him carefully. "I don't tell you how to do whatever it is that you do, so just piss off. Got it?" She says, taking another drag.
[22:29] * Strifer nods slightly. "Ahah, yes, absolutey ridicoulus." She tries the door to Lollygags cabin, finding it locked. "Oi, Smallstuff! You in there!"
[22:29] * Challenger gets a dour look. "Nopony has a sense of humor these days... Anyway, you feelin okay, D?"
[22:31] <Desert_Eagle> "Eh, little woozy. Damn bugs got me good, but other'n that ah'm fine. How's th' van lookin'? Or's it busted?"
[22:31] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The nurse frowns. "I'll let you two have your bromance in peace. Later." She says, leaving a smokey trail as she trots out.
[22:32] <Challenger> "It'll live, I think. They're gonna work on it's future survivability rate in exchange for some sweat and muscle."
[22:33] * Cloudy_Breeze heads back to the van after she's dressed and kitted out. She gives it a thorough inspection to make sure it'll work. She also inspects the engine to see if she can figure out why it's at risk of exploding.
[22:34] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Work fer work, fair trade iff'n yah ask me. Wonder if ah could get muh hooves on somethin' with a little more stoppin' power, like what the mare that shot th' bugs off was usin'. Either that o' ah need t' make muhself some AP rounds. That DMP jus' ain't gonna cut it as-is."
[22:34] <Desert_Eagle> DMR*]
[22:35] <Challenger> "Reminds me. I'
[22:35] * Lollygag frowns at finding a dusty bobby pin and just leaves it in the dresser, slamming the drawer back shut. She starts on her way to the cot when she hears Strifer calling, "Yeah, hold on." She trots slowly up to the door and unlocks it, pulling it open slowly, "Yes?"
[22:35] <Challenger> m running low on that special ammo for my rifle. Think you could whip some up when you get the chance?"
[22:36] * Wraith waves...well, waggles her near useless cyberleg at Lollygag
[22:36] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The can looks just fine, expect all the massive gashes in the metal. The answer to Breezy's question is a little more complicated than she could discern from looking at it. It seems that it was -designed- to do that.
[22:37] * Strifer smirks and moves inside, past Lollygag.. "Ey. Funsized will be sharing with you tonight." She moves up to the convinantly placed bed for Wraith to slink into.
[22:37] <Wraith> "If that's fine with you, anyways. Apparently Challenger decided that."
[22:38] * Cloudy_Breeze frowns. Why would somepony design something to explode? Maybe there's a way she can make it /not/ do that.
[22:38] * Lollygag sighs softly, then smiles up at both of you. Cause sure, that's what 'I'd like some time alone.' means, "Yeah, go ahead and take a load off."
[22:39] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Ayep. Ah'll need some .44 Magnum rounds, lead, pistol powder, an' rifle primers. Ah've got some 9 mils ah c'n break down fer th' lead an' powder."
[22:40] <Challenger> "I'll see if I can find 'em. Gonna be tough to buy though without caps."
[22:40] * Wraith looks down at Lollygag "Don't worry. You won't even know I'm here." She undoes the strap holding her to Strifer and carefully climbs down.
[22:40] <Desert_Eagle> "Sell some o' yer shit that yah don't need then."
[22:40] <Challenger> "The shit I kept /to/ sell was stolen from me while I was under..."
[22:41] * Desert_Eagle frows. "Well, ah've got some stuff 'n muh bags yah could sell."
[22:42] * Strifer grins at Wraith and Lollygag "Aight then! You two try not to have too much fun. Cause some of us acctually wants to sleep tonight." She giggles at her own bad joke and moves for the door.
[22:42] <Challenger> "Where's it at?"
[22:42] * Wraith rolls her eye and mumbles 'because I'm totally in a condition for wild, rough, domination sex.'
[22:42] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  One of the ponies in overall trots over. Her eyes wander over Breezy's flank for a moment, before she collects herself. "Thing's a piece of shit, you know."
[22:43] * Wraith sighs and settles down into the cot, facing the wall and just stares at it
[22:43] <Desert_Eagle> "They're 'n th' front o' th' van still."
[22:43] * Lollygag smiles at Strifer and makes her way back to the open cot, climbing up carefully onto it, "Of course. Some sleep could probably do all of us a world of good."
[22:44] <Challenger> "Be right back, then." He trots out and heads to the van, looking for Deagle's bags. "Hey Cloudy."
[22:44] * Cloudy_Breeze mutters, "Yeah, tell me 'bout it. S'all we got though."
[22:45] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The mechanic looks Breezy over again and tips her beret a little. "Need a hoof with it?"
[22:46] * Strifer smiles sadly as she closes the door to the cabine. With a sigh she starts to search for a somewhat secluded area nearby. Her glare telling ponies who might be looking at her too piss off..
[22:46] * Cloudy_Breeze glances over briefly. "Sure. Why not?"
[22:47] * SpencerDespenser|GM works her way over to the engine, working her hips a little as she walks. "Leeeeeet's see here." She says, peeking in through the hood.
[22:48] * Challenger locates the bags and returns to the hospital. "Alright D, let me have what you want to sell."
[22:48] * Lollygag plants herself face first into the pillow, just lying there for a few moments, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Wraith. She waits a little longer, listening for if she'd fallen asleep or not, "So what would you have done..."
[22:48] * Wraith flicks her ear and rolls over slightly "What?"
[22:51] * Cloudy_Breeze mutters, "It ain't stable at all. Feels like it could fall apart while we drive, and the battery doesn't last long at all." She sighs.
[22:51] * Desert_Eagle nods, and begins listing things off. "There's some a box, a suit fer somethin', book, a record, couple o' waters, some food. Pro'll don't wanna seel th' healing potions o' bandages though, 'less yah have tah."
[22:51] * Lollygag just lies there, looking straight ahead now, "If the only ponies you remotely cared for had all been enslaved... and if you were being blackmailed through your family... what would you have done?"
[22:51] <Challenger> "The food either. Never know when we'll get hungry eh?"
[22:52] * Desert_Eagle nods. "True, true."
[22:52] <Challenger> "So a box a suit a book (might save that for Lolly) a record. That all?"
[22:52] <Wraith> "Gotten torn in half by linked miniguns, probably."
[22:53] * Wraith has pokerface
[22:53] <Wraith> "Honestly...I would have probably done what you did. Bought us."
[22:53] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The mechanic frowns slightly. "This isn't like anything I've worked on before... I'd say your best bet may be a new battery, and some reinforced bolts might help hold the important bits together..."
[22:55] * Cloudy_Breeze hmms. "Question is... how ah'll get my hooves on those."
[22:56] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The mechanic smiles faintly. "Well, I could point you in the right direction."
[22:56] * Strifer finds a hidden area. Laying down she lines up her drugs with a sigh.. Muttering a 'fuck'.. She glances at the corner of her vision, into those dark corenrs. Soon they would start whispering to her.. Her expression of sadness and regrets transforms into that of anger as she plunges down onto her drugs. And with a wide hysterical grin she takes them all.
[22:57] * Lollygag give a single, quiet laugh at Wraith's first response, "Well it was all I could think to do..."
[22:57] * Cloudy_Breeze looks back over. "Oh?
[22:58] <Wraith> "You did good, Lolly. There wasn't much that could be done in that situation.
[22:58] * SpencerDespenser|GM nods. "You bet. However, I'd need some sort of... compensation.:
[23:00] * Cloudy_Breeze keeps eyeing the mare. "Well, ain't got much to offer. What you lookin' for?"
[23:01] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  Her eyes dart to Breezy's flank and she smiles. "Just a little time... somewhere else... just the two of us. Comprende?"
[23:02] * Lollygag sniffs softly, "It's not good enough though... Nothing I've done yet has been..."
[23:02] * Challenger gathers up the stuff to sell. "Alright. I'll be back later to check on you, D. Get better."
[23:03] * Wraith tilts her head. Damn her lack of mobility, hugs are needed "Nothing you've done yet has been..."
[23:03] <Wraith> ?"*
[23:04] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Ah'll be here still... damnit."
[23:05] * Lollygag nods a little, "Nothing I've done has been good enough... I just wanted to help ponies... look where I've gotten us..."
[23:05] <Challenger> "Not for long, "I'm betting." He trots off back towards the cabins.
[23:07] * Cloudy_Breeze keeps looking at the mare for a moment. "Hmm... Dunno, ah could just ask around a bit. Doesn't seem like much of a fair trade."
[23:07] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The mare looks back dubiously. "You're kidding, right? We don't have those kinds of parts here, but I know someone who does. I'm not asking for much~"
[23:09] * Wraith smile and rolls over, climbing down off the bed and part crawling, part waddling, part stumbles over to Lollygag, sitting down beside her cot and putting a hoof on her back "The fact that you care this much means more than what you've done. Think of it this way. Had you not been with us, we'd still have been captured by slavers, but we wouldn't be out here, we'd be
[23:09] * Wraith there. Stuck. Waiting for our next owner to come claim us."
[23:13] * Cloudy_Breeze hmmms some more. "Could use some scrap, and spare parts, to make sure ah can take care of it if it breaks down. They come with the battery, right?"
[23:14] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The mechanic rolls her eyes. "I guess?"
[23:15] * Lollygag sniffs again, tears staining her cheeks, "O-oh, y-you shouldn't be moving so much..." She nuzzles at your hoof lightly, not even caring if you can't feel it, "Th-thank you..."
[23:15] * Cloudy_Breeze thinks on it a moment. "Alright. Ya got yerself a deal."
[23:16] * Challenger knocks on Lolly's door. "Anypony home?"
[23:16] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The mare tugs down on her beret, closes the hood, and trots off. "Follow me."
[23:17] * Cloudy_Breeze nods, and follows the mare.
[23:17] * Wraith smiles "Probably not, no. But I'm a doctor and I'm prescribing you a friend."
[23:17] * Wraith looks at the door "What, Chall?"
[23:18] <Challenger> "Just asking if anypony as saleable stuff. Oh, and I have a book for Lolly."
[23:18] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  The mechanic opens a door to her cottage and tugs Breezy inside.
[23:18] * Lollygag sniffs a little and calls out, "It's open."
[23:19] * Challenger noses the door open. "I'm not interrupting am I?"
[23:19] * Wraith shrugs "I dunno. Are you?"
[23:20] * Wraith thinks "And I've got a spare scalpel and a shredded up labcoat if you want to sell it."
[23:20] * Challenger rolls his eyes and pulls out the book.
[23:20] * Lollygag sniffs again, "Of course not." She pauses to wipe her face on the pillow, "A book?"
[23:20] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  (( The labcoat is pretty much worthless. And by pretty much, I mean totally worthless. ))
[23:21] * Challenger sets it down in front of lolly. "D gave me some stuff to sell, this was in it. Figured you'd wanna see it first."
[23:21] <Wraith> "You might get something for the scalpel but uh..." she lets out a laugh "I'm pretty sure the coat is too ripped up for anypony to want."
[23:21] * Cloudy_Breeze follows the mare inside.
[23:22] * Lollygag groans a little as she looks over the book, "Yeah, thank you for checking. I'd much rather he not sell the book I loaned to him..."
[23:23] * Challenger shrugs. "So yeah, I'm going shopping for ammo and ammo parts. Anything you want sold besides the scalpel?"
[23:24] <Wraith> "Uh...not...really. I mean you can look..." she sighs "Shit...my uniform and armor are probably ripped to shreds..."
[23:24] * Lollygag sits up a little, placing her hoof over the book as she does so. Why don't you go ahead. I wanted to look around, but I could use some rest first... I'll do it in the morning."
[23:24] * Wraith tries to stand up and falls back down "I think I'll just uh. sit here... for a moment."
[23:25] * Lollygag * "Why don't you...
[23:25] * Challenger nods at Wraith. "I'll see if I can get you some new stuff."
[23:26] <Wraith> "Actually...There's a magazine and a pack of smokes you can take to sell in my bags too."
[23:26] * Challenger nods and retrieves stated items
[23:28] * Lollygag gets up carefully from her cot and kneels down next to Wraith, "Here, I'll help get you back in bed..." She waits until Chall is on his way to the door before leaning in and giving Wraith a delicate kiss and whispering, "Thank you."
[23:29] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  With our heroes asleep, snug in there beds, the day turns to night, and the night soon ends. In the morning they will be assigned some new work by Feldspar, putting them further and further from where they actually need to go!
[23:29] * Wraith blinks, slightly surprised "You're...uh, welcome. Lolly."
[23:29] <~SpencerDespenser|GM>  *** Session 20 Ends ***
