Tea Group Session 2

[2013-08-23 23:34:43] * Fleet_Fortune does sneaky pegasus things. Even before the GM starts the session. So sneaky.
[2013-08-23 23:35:15] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Session 2 Starts. And shush Fleet_Fortune.
[2013-08-23 23:36:50] <KendallKun_GM> 4 After dodging a barrage of bullets, escaping soup and wading through effluent, our group is split. With Fleet_Fortune trapped on a rooftop, the others make their way through the sewers in the hope of finding something other than shit.
[2013-08-23 23:38:09] * Iris has been trudging along in silence this whole time. It might be that she's sullen, but she's wearing so much armor it's hard to tell.
[2013-08-23 23:39:28] * Edna_Stonetalon has taken point, leading through the sewers, grenade rifle at the ready
[2013-08-23 23:40:07] * Apricot_Tarts is bringing up the rear, having her pistol out and ready
[2013-08-23 23:41:09] * Fleet_Fortune is being a sneaky pegasus. Hiding in the factory area, looking out for anypony who might discover her while making her way deeper inside.
[2013-08-23 23:41:17] * Ginger_Ails follows behind Edna_Stonetalon near the front, spreading out their lightsources. He sloshes along, eyes and ears alert.
[2013-08-23 23:42:11] * Iris has had her earth pony configured recharger rifle out for quite some time now. It rests on her back, ready to be flipped forward at a moment's notice.
[2013-08-23 23:44:47] <Iris> "... these sewers can't honestly be that big. We /are/ on a ship, after all," Iris finally pipes up.
[2013-08-23 23:45:25] <Apricot_Tarts> "A giant ship that possibly has a lot of ponies on it. Multiple decks and stuff. I wonder how they get food. Maybe they grow seaweed?"
[2013-08-23 23:45:29] * Ginger_Ails lets his SMG hang across his shoulder. "A city ship... "
[2013-08-23 23:45:41] <Edna_Stonetalon> "A giant gunboat of doom full of crazy. I'm betting it's that big"
[2013-08-23 23:46:05] <Iris> "There is a hard limit on how big a ship can be without magical assistance," Iris mutters.
[2013-08-23 23:46:11] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The sound of machinery and daily chatter surround Fleet_Fortune, along with trill whistles as shifts change in the distance. No one seems to be nearby for the moment however.
[2013-08-23 23:47:04] <Edna_Stonetalon> "I/m betting they have unicorns."
[2013-08-23 23:49:39] * Apricot_Tarts checks her ammo count. "I hope they have guns, otherwise defense will be difficult."
[2013-08-23 23:50:11] * Ginger_Ails "I'm torn. Part of me is hoping automated kill-boat... but somepony is making this shit. Wouldn't be ghouls... Have to be living ponies here. And a fair number. The question is, are they descendents of the old crew just as delusional as the robot voice, or other survivors like us?"
[2013-08-23 23:50:13] * Fleet_Fortune is focused on trying to find a way deeper inside, looking for any doorways or hatches that lead away from the outside.
[2013-08-23 23:50:22] <Iris> "They'd need something a little stronger than unicorns."
[2013-08-23 23:52:37] * Edna_Stonetalon rolls her eyes at Iris "Whatever. We should go check out those whistles. Mite be something useful we could snag or someone to question."
[2013-08-23 23:52:51] <Apricot_Tarts> "I find it hard to beleive they'd employ alicorns."
[2013-08-23 23:53:33] <Iris> "I'm talking matrices. Megaspells."
[2013-08-23 23:56:37] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Fleet_Fortune finds a door that would lead inside the factory. However, the door appears to be locked and rather rusted. The others reach a fork in the sewers, once tunnel leading left and the other right.
[2013-08-23 23:56:56] <Iris> "... hm."
[2013-08-23 23:57:03] * Ginger_Ails sidesteps a particularly large clump of excrement as they come up on the fork.
[2013-08-23 23:57:18] * Edna_Stonetalon goes right "This way."
[2013-08-23 23:57:41] * Ginger_Ails looks at the tunnels, judging their steepness, making sure both are ascending.
[2013-08-23 23:58:15] <Iris> "Wait," Iris says to Edna.
[2013-08-23 23:59:06] <Iris> "Gotta' figure out if we're going up..."
[2013-08-23 23:59:18] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Both tunnels are ascending at a similar incline.
[2013-08-23 23:59:57] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Up? These empty into the ocean. They should only go up from here."
[2013-08-24 00:01:46] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Hell. I'm willing to bet that this tub has an old Equestrian warship at it's core."
[2013-08-24 00:02:28] * Ginger_Ails "Looks like one was is as good as the other..." He stops to listen, ears swiveling up to catch noise from either tunnel, or a breeze, or sight of an old sign covered over in muck... any sign really.
[2013-08-24 00:03:32] * Apricot_Tarts just keeps keeps an eye out for any potential dangers
[2013-08-24 00:05:27] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Ginger feels a soft brush of wind from the left tunnel, only hearing the sound of running excrement from the other.
[2013-08-24 00:05:54] * Fleet_Fortune smirks. There's not a lock in Equestria that's held her back! She opens her saddlebags and pulls out... her lockpicking suppl-- wait. Where were they? She checks in the other pockets. It /has/ to be here. She's been on the ship the whole time! The only time she even took them out... was... "... shit." She left them on the ship. She took them out to use them /and never put them back/.
[2013-08-24 00:06:25] * Ginger_Ails raises his SMG, using the butt to make an arrow as best he can on the wall pointing left. "We go left. There's a bit of air moving from that way."
[2013-08-24 00:06:58] * Edna_Stonetalon turns and calls over her shoulder "You sure stripes?"
[2013-08-24 00:09:02] <Iris> "Hm."
[2013-08-24 00:09:20] * Ginger_Ails nods. "I think so, go toward the airflow." He moves over to the tunnel they came from, marking it as well so they can backtrack to the survivors.
[2013-08-24 00:09:54] * Edna_Stonetalon shrugs and proceeds down the left tunnel "Works for me."
[2013-08-24 00:10:30] * Fleet_Fortune will have to find another way. Or at least something else she can use for lockpicking supplies. She starts looking around the factory floor, keeping an eye out for any toolboxes especially. Operation Steal A Screwdriver is a-go.
[2013-08-24 00:12:17] * Iris follows along. She can't feel this breeze he's talking about on account of her armor... but at least if he fucked up, they'd all be in the same extremely shitty boat together.
[2013-08-24 00:12:42] * Iris ... which -- she thinks -- they already are.
[2013-08-24 00:14:31] * Ginger_Ails falls back behind Edna_Stonetalon, letting her take point but staying close for light. The medic walking into a trap or an ambush is a bad day. Especially for him.
[2013-08-24 00:14:43] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Fleet_Fortune cannot find any sort of toolbox in the immediate area. As her search continues, the rusty door swings open with a loud squeak and two earth ponies walk through it. Both seem to be engrossed in their conversation.
[2013-08-24 00:16:47] * Apricot_Tarts can't really do much right now than what she already does. She does however asses the group's assests in her head.
[2013-08-24 00:17:19] * Iris isn't able to offer much more than her sunny disposition in the shit-tunnel either.
[2013-08-24 00:18:03] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Wish I could say this is the first sewer I've been in..... but it isn't"
[2013-08-24 00:18:15] <KendallKun_GM> 4 One of the ponies looks up suddenly, scanning the room before frowning and shaking her head. Her companion looks concerned for moment, but she waves it off and they go back to their conversation.
[2013-08-24 00:19:05] * Ginger_Ails "Well, it's my first time, so pointers are suggested and encouraged." He keeps his eyes peeled in a most likely pointless search for signage.
[2013-08-24 00:19:49] * Fleet_Fortune quickly glances back at the door when she hears it squeak, wide-eyed, and seeing the ponies walk through, practically /dives/ back behind cover. Oh shit oh shit oh shit.
[2013-08-24 00:21:22] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Yeah. Don't sit down and don't eat anything. No matter how much it looks like a Babby Ruth Bar"
[2013-08-24 00:22:03] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The mare looks up again and shouts at the place Fleet_Fortune dived behind, "Hey! Who goes there?" Her companion starts to make his way towards the spot slowly.
[2013-08-24 00:22:53] * Iris looks back to Apricot, falling back in line with her. This situation was really starting to wear on her...
[2013-08-24 00:23:30] <Apricot_Tarts> "'Sup Iris? Still holding strong?"
[2013-08-24 00:23:58] * Ginger_Ails "Don't worry, those have nut. And it looks like there are a serious lack of them around here." He looks around the group. "Cripes... I'm never going to win an argument with you lot..."
[2013-08-24 00:24:40] <Iris> "No," Iris says flatly. "We're fairly deep in it, though, so... no sense in freaking out."
[2013-08-24 00:25:31] * Apricot_Tarts sighs "Yeah, I don't like it either, but right now giving up and laying down are very bad things to do..."
[2013-08-24 00:26:06] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Edna_Stonetalon soon hears echoed chatter nearby, as well as seeing what could be other light. There seem to be three voices, each mentioning the sewers though few details can be heard beyond that.
[2013-08-24 00:26:46] * Iris sighs.
[2013-08-24 00:27:01] <Iris> "I can taste it in my mouth, Apricot," she half-sobs.
[2013-08-24 00:27:17] * Edna_Stonetalon stops and motions for the others to stop. Whispering "Got something up ahead. Keep low and quiet. And ready for a fight."
[2013-08-24 00:27:34] * Iris shuts-up.
[2013-08-24 00:28:10] <Fleet_Fortune> 
ACTION is so screwed. Soooo screwed. There's one way out of this. Hopefully these ponies weren't paying too much attention... She takes a deep breath and shouts out... "Hey! Keep away from the sensitive equipment! Last thing somepony tried to touch took WEEKS to fix!" She taps a hoof against one of the machines, trying to make convincing noise. "And to make it worse, somepony took my toolbox! Have either of you seen it?" She keeps down. S
[2013-08-24 00:28:13] * Apricot_Tarts checkes the magazine and chamber of her pistol and whispers "Ready."
[2013-08-24 00:30:15] * Iris readies her recharger rifle.
[2013-08-24 00:30:26] * Iris She's /so/ glad it doesn't have any glowy-bits.
[2013-08-24 00:31:43] * Edna_Stonetalon slinks down the tunnel, doing her best to keep quiet
[2013-08-24 00:31:47] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallion and mare both stop, look at each other, blink, look at where Fleet is hiding and then back to each other. The mare lets out a small cough of embarassment, "Oh... that's why it was locked in here. I see. Well, we can bring you anything you need... what do you need exactly?"
[2013-08-24 00:36:17] * Ginger_Ails follows Edna's instruction, stopping immediately. You always stop when the point says stop. His ears swivel down the tunnel, his eyes squinting in the weak light.
[2013-08-24 00:36:28] * Fleet_Fortune is starting to breathe a little easier. "You can't just bring the whole box? Then... a screwdriver. And a wrench." After a moment's pause, she adds, "And I need a drink. Whatever you can get your hooves on. I don't care what anypony says, today has been shit."
[2013-08-24 00:41:12] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The voices get slowly closer, stopping just out of sight from the group. "Did you see it though? Entire ship just gone like *that*. Tell you what, I'm not crossing one of those ponies anytime soon." "You can say that. Ah, forget it. Let's just sort out this blockage and get out of here. Boss wants me to deliver something afterwards."
[2013-08-24 00:42:19] * Edna_Stonetalon puts a claw up to stop the group, motioning for Apricot_Tarts and the others to follow her lead as she gets ready to pounce
[2013-08-24 00:43:35] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The couple leave Fleet_Fortune, returning with a toolbox and a bottle of whiskey, "Sorry for interrupting!" As they leave the room, the mare scolds the stallion, "Let's go in here you said. No one will find us, you said. Bloody stallions..."
[2013-08-24 00:46:29] * Apricot_Tarts whispers "Iris, you should move upwards. I'm sorry, but you're a better meathsield than I am."
[2013-08-24 00:46:38] * Apricot_Tarts also switches to her rifle.
[2013-08-24 00:47:01] <Iris> "What!" Iris whispers harshly. "Meatshield!"
[2013-08-24 00:47:19] * Fleet_Fortune waits until they leave to let out the breath she couldn't help but hold. That was close. She'll get to the toolbox in a moment, but first, she wasn't lying about needing that drink. Today has been the worst day ever.
[2013-08-24 00:47:59] * Ginger_Ails strains to hear more. He breathes out a low whisper. "Not soldiers... mechanics... They'll know their way around..."
[2013-08-24 00:48:08] * Edna_Stonetalon tries not to facetalon "Fuck it! GO!" rushing around the corner towards the voices "FREEZE!" pointing her grenade rifle at them
[2013-08-24 00:48:32] <Iris> "... maybe we should try to take host--" Iris stops talking when she sees Edna rush them.
[2013-08-24 00:48:49] * Ginger_Ails gallops along behind, he is her lightsource after all.
[2013-08-24 00:48:58] * Apricot_Tarts wants to facepalm, but doesn't because she stands in shit."
[2013-08-24 00:49:22] * Apricot_Tarts switches back to her pistol and rushes forward "Oh fuck it."
[2013-08-24 00:50:25] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Three stallions all freeze in horror at Edna_Stonetalon pointing a rifle at them, all shaking at the sight. Finally, one squeaks, "Oh shit" as the rest of the group appear.
[2013-08-24 00:51:14] * Edna_Stonetalon growls "Stripes, Iris search 'em"
[2013-08-24 00:52:06] <Iris> "I'm not a soldier!" Iris says in indignation. From within her mercenary-grade metal armor. :I
[2013-08-24 00:52:52] <Edna_Stonetalon> "And that is why you're doing the searching"
[2013-08-24 00:52:56] * Fleet_Fortune empties the toolbox of its contents and gets back to making her way down deeper inside the ship. That wasn't so bad, now that she thinks about it. In fact, she's already starting to feel /much/ better.
[2013-08-24 00:53:23] * Ginger_Ails moves up to the first stallion. "I would suggest acquiescing, sirs. She's in a foul mood wwhat with the sinki... foul mood..." He chuckles lightly and walks closer.
[2013-08-24 00:54:26] * Ginger_Ails eyes the first stallion, his horn starting to glow as he intends to remove any saddlebags, toolboxes, or other items for searching.
[2013-08-24 00:54:52] * Edna_Stonetalon rolls her eyes and groans "Right. Where are we? And What the fuck happened here? The war ended two hundred years ago. Everyone lost"
[2013-08-24 00:55:37] * Iris looks back at Apricot.
[2013-08-24 00:56:05] * Apricot_Tarts nods towards the guys "Do it Iris. We won't hurt them."
[2013-08-24 00:56:07] <KendallKun_GM> 4 As Fleet_Fortune exits the room, she enters the main floor of the factory area. Ponies of all kinds work together, shaping metal into all kinds of things. Weapons, mostly. A loud whistle goes off and several ponies leave their stations, making their way towards a door leading back outside.
[2013-08-24 00:56:42] <Iris> "No, I /can't/. My hooves are covered in shit and my helmet lacks an opening for my mouth."
[2013-08-24 00:57:13] * Edna_Stonetalon growls "Then keep them covered while Stripes dose it."
[2013-08-24 00:57:35] * Ginger_Ails is happy to oblige.
[2013-08-24 00:57:53] * Apricot_Tarts grumbles "I can do it. Iris keep an eye on them." She goes to search one of the ponies while still having her pistol float beside her.
[2013-08-24 00:58:06] * Iris points her weapon at the guys.
[2013-08-24 00:58:52] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallions continue to shake, each looking at one another as they're searched, before the squeaker speaks up, "L-look, if it's food you're looking for you can talk to my boss. Go to the farming slums, ask for Black Hooves. Just don't kill us, please!"
[2013-08-24 01:00:01] * Edna_Stonetalon stalks closer, putting the barrel of her gun under the last stallions chin "You didn't answer my question"
[2013-08-24 01:00:51] * Ginger_Ails 'Eddie! Please! Show a bit of restraint. You are going to answer our questions without the need for violence, yes?" He continues rummaging while he speaks.
[2013-08-24 01:02:12] * Fleet_Fortune goes back to being sneaky. She knew this place was big, but... this is an even bigger scale than she thought.
[2013-08-24 01:02:35] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallion quivers, "Wh-what do you mean?! I don't understand! Please!" He is in tears now.
[2013-08-24 01:03:12] <Edna_Stonetalon> "What is the name of this ship. And I want a /basic/ history of it."
[2013-08-24 01:03:50] <Apricot_Tarts> "Edna, take the gun away. They're no threat."
[2013-08-24 01:03:57] * Ginger_Ails levels a stare at Edna_Stonetalon, waiting to see if she has any intention of lowering the weapon.
[2013-08-24 01:04:18] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Fleet_Fortune is unnoticed in all the commotion, everyone being too engrossed in their work to notice an extra pony walking around.
[2013-08-24 01:05:08] * Edna_Stonetalon lowers her weapon "Is that better?
[2013-08-24 01:05:10] <Edna_Stonetalon> "
[2013-08-24 01:07:08] <KendallKun_GM> 4 As the threatened stallion blubbers, another takes up the speaking role, "A-are you mercenaries? The boss sometimes hires g-griffons and others... they n-normally don't care about the Center..."
[2013-08-24 01:07:52] * Edna_Stonetalon Raises an eyebrow "Keep talking"
[2013-08-24 01:08:20] * Ginger_Ails gives a satisfied nod and returns his riffling. "Hundreds of our friends died when this boat sunk our boat. We're a little on edge, as it were. We want to know who we're dealing with."
[2013-08-24 01:10:21] <KendallKun_GM> 4 He continues, "Ah, ah, history... um, well, I d-don't know m-much about it. Outer Tier, you know? We're not told a lot... boss will know m-more!"
[2013-08-24 01:10:56] <Iris> "Lovely," Iris mutters.
[2013-08-24 01:11:20] <Edna_Stonetalon> "We should get the others. Then you're going to take us this 'Boss' of yours. Right?"
[2013-08-24 01:11:42] * Fleet_Fortune looks around the factory floor. Ponies working... what /is/ this place? Why is it out here? She quickly glances around to see if there are any more doors heading further inside.
[2013-08-24 01:14:17] <Apricot_Tarts> "And what is it's name?"
[2013-08-24 01:15:19] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Fleet_Fortune can't find any doors leading deeper into the factory which aren't heavily guarded. The aforementioned exit, however, is completely free aside from the leaving workers.
[2013-08-24 01:17:02] * Fleet_Fortune is definitely not ready for trying to get past guards. Instead, she heads for the door leading outside. She'll have to continue her search elsewhere. If worse comes to worse, she can find somepony she can... convince to tell her what's going on on this... thing.
[2013-08-24 01:18:00] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallions all nod in unison, answering together, "The Center."
[2013-08-24 01:18:20] <Apricot_Tarts> "That's a wierd name for a ship."
[2013-08-24 01:19:33] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Will our stripped friend cause any problems?"
[2013-08-24 01:20:29] <KendallKun_GM> 4 As Fleet_Fortune exits the factory, she finds herself in the middle of a crowded area as workers busy themselves leaving and getting to work. From the heat, smell, and noise, it's easy to tell that she's in the middle of what can best be described as a slum.
[2013-08-24 01:20:43] <Iris> "She means striped," Iris corrects.
[2013-08-24 01:22:33] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallions all glance awkwardly at each other, before nodding their heads firmly.
[2013-08-24 01:23:16] <Apricot_Tarts> "Next question, why was our ship attacked?"
[2013-08-24 01:24:15] * Fleet_Fortune scrunches her nose as the smell hits her. Ugh. This was definitely not something she was expecting. But... it provides an easy opportunity to explore. She picks a direction... and walks, taking in the sights around her.
[2013-08-24 01:25:16] <KendallKun_GM> 4 They look to each other and shake their heads. "Because you were there?" one offers, the other two going wide-eyed at his suggestion.
[2013-08-24 01:26:35] <Iris> "That's /sick/," Iris growls.
[2013-08-24 01:26:39] * Apricot_Tarts cocks the hammer of her pistol "Wrong answer, try again."
[2013-08-24 01:27:16] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Fleet soon finds herself wandering down a "street", the metal hull warm beneath her hooves. Several foals run between the crowds of older ponies, each looking more hungry and dead than the last.
[2013-08-24 01:27:39] * Edna_Stonetalon idly checks her weapon, letting the three see just how big of a gun she had
[2013-08-24 01:28:16] * Ginger_Ails sucks his teeth, a tic of agitation. "A floating culture of bigoted, shoot-firsts. Splendid." He spits the last word with distain.
[2013-08-24 01:28:49] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallions squeak in fear, the tearful one bursting into sobs again. They all shake their heads, "We don't know! Please don't kill us!"
[2013-08-24 01:30:43] <Iris> "Hmph."
[2013-08-24 01:33:08] * Apricot_Tarts puts the safety back on. "I believe him. They don't know anything."
[2013-08-24 01:34:12] * Edna_Stonetalon "Good enough" turning to Apricot_Tarts and Iris "You two go back and get the others. We'll wait here with out new friends and try to get a little more out of them"
[2013-08-24 01:34:13] * Iris lowers her rifle from the "armed" position to the "ready" position.
[2013-08-24 01:36:42] * Ginger_Ails continues his thorough searching, but dropping the cordial demeanor.
[2013-08-24 01:36:45] * Fleet_Fortune tries her best to put them out of mind. For now, she looks for somepony who seems like they might know some gossip. Or at least looks open to talking.
[2013-08-24 01:37:27] <Iris> "Alright."
[2013-08-24 01:37:43] * Iris disarms her rifle, sending it back to resting on her back.
[2013-08-24 01:38:46] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallions all stiffen at the mention of others, before one whispers a quiet, "We're dead." A low rumble rolls through the sewers and a roar of something liquid echoes through the tunnels.
[2013-08-24 01:38:59] <Apricot_Tarts> "Actually, We should look for an exit and a clean place fi- What is that?"
[2013-08-24 01:39:56] * Ginger_Ails "Somepony flushed?" His ear swivels toward the noise, if it if 'up pipe' his horn lights as he gathers magic to himself.
[2013-08-24 01:40:00] <Iris> "... that /better/ not be what I think it is."
[2013-08-24 01:40:02] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Ummm..... exit mite be a good thing now."
[2013-08-24 01:41:28] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The roar isn't coming from the group's pipe...
[2013-08-24 01:42:48] <KendallKun_GM> 4 As Fleet wanders along, she notices some of the ponies are swarming a nearby stall.
[2013-08-24 01:43:07] * Ginger_Ails 's extra corona of magic disperses, leaving his horn only with the glow of his light spell. If it isn't from their pipe, then he can't do anything about it. He tries to get a feel for the direction of the noise. If it came from the other fork something could be heading toward the other survivors.
[2013-08-24 01:45:41] * Fleet_Fortune heads over to investigate the crowd! This is perfect.
[2013-08-24 01:46:36] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Ginger_Ails is unable to figure out where the noise is coming from. Edna_Stonetalon on the other hoof, easily works out that it's from the other pipe at the fork. Seems the blockage from that end has been dealt with.
[2013-08-24 01:47:13] <Iris> "Is it... /where/ is that coming from?"
[2013-08-24 01:48:32] <--| Shady_Steps has left #teagroup ("")
[2013-08-24 01:48:42] <Edna_Stonetalon> "I think we're fine for now. But our friends in trouble if I'm hearing that right. YOU THREE better hope they find there way out. Now lets go before the same happens to us"
[2013-08-24 01:48:45] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The crowd is formed of earth ponies and unicorns, all shoving each other to the side as they try to get closer to whatever is going on. A loud voice booms over the din, "All this supplied in kind donation by Black Hooves! Come one, come all, enough food for a week!"
[2013-08-24 01:49:25] * Ginger_Ails "... You mean... FUCK!" He starts a headlong gallop back the way they came. Time is of the essense!
[2013-08-24 01:49:52] * Apricot_Tarts follows quickly "What's up?"
[2013-08-24 01:51:47] * Fleet_Fortune works her way toward the front of the croud, trying to get close enough to see the pony running the stall.
[2013-08-24 01:52:26] * Ginger_Ails barrels past the group, he has no time to lose! NO TIME!
[2013-08-24 01:52:47] <Iris> "Wait! Where are you going!" Iris calls.
[2013-08-24 01:53:53] * Edna_Stonetalon follows after Ginger_Ails "What are you doing?"
[2013-08-24 01:54:52] <KendallKun_GM> 4 A largish stallion attempts to shunt Fleet_Fortune out of the way, "Move it shit stains! This food is property of the Forger now!"
[2013-08-24 01:54:53] * Ginger_Ails "The others! If that roar is water, they'll be washed away!" His horn is already gathering the magic he'll need to cast a shield to close off the other fork.
[2013-08-24 01:54:55] * Apricot_Tarts heads towards the ponies they left behind. "I have bad feeling about this,"
[2013-08-24 01:55:08] <Iris> "Wait!"
[2013-08-24 01:55:19] <Iris> "If we go with him... won't we just be taking-up space?"
[2013-08-24 01:57:19] * Apricot_Tarts is in too much of a hurry to hear Iris
[2013-08-24 01:57:32] * Edna_Stonetalon "He's gunna block the flow?!" taking to the air as best as possible using a little trick she knew to run faster
[2013-08-24 01:58:05] <KendallKun_GM> 4 As Ginger_Ails approaches the fork, he is greeted with a very large amount of shit in the path. Though the flow has slowed from the initial roar, the excrement covered top of the sewer suggests that if anything was in those pipes, it certainly isn't in them any more.
[2013-08-24 01:59:03] * Iris finds herself the sole pony holding three bucks hostage.
[2013-08-24 01:59:12] * Iris She arms her rifle and aims it at the three of them.
[2013-08-24 01:59:18] * Edna_Stonetalon skids to a stop "Well fuck. You three are fucking dead if our other friends died."
[2013-08-24 01:59:49] <Iris> "Alright you three. Single file, backs to me," Iris says.
[2013-08-24 02:00:43] * Ginger_Ails looks at the torrent... guaging it's strength... maybe he can make it. If they got washed all the way out, they could be treading water right where they came in.
[2013-08-24 02:00:51] <Iris> "If /any/ of you even think about running..."
[2013-08-24 02:01:27] * Apricot_Tarts gasps "ShitshitshiSHIT!" she tries to wade through the excrements towards the exit.
[2013-08-24 02:01:41] * Iris performs a little trick with her recharger rifle to make it make a somewhat threatening *whirr*.
[2013-08-24 02:04:40] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The flow is strong, but Apricot_Tarts manages to stay upright as she follows the stream.
[2013-08-24 02:05:15] * Ginger_Ails won't let her go it alone, he keeps his horn lit, ready to cast, as he wades in after her.
[2013-08-24 02:05:18] * Apricot_Tarts continues "Please don't be dead, please don't be dead!"
[2013-08-24 02:06:18] * Edna_Stonetalon goes back to Iris and there prisoners "They better be alive"
[2013-08-24 02:06:49] <Iris> "That was a shit-flow down the pipe, wasn't it," Iris says.
[2013-08-24 02:07:46] * Fleet_Fortune is not so easily deterred! She gives the stallion her best frown. "But, I just got here! And you're gonna just turn me away?"
[2013-08-24 02:08:35] * Edna_Stonetalon glaring at the three "Yup"
[2013-08-24 02:10:44] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallion stops and turns around, squaring up to Fleet_Fortune, "The fuck did you just say?" The ponies closest to the two give them a wide berth, all looking terrified. The three stallions on the other hoof all glance at one another, the blubbering one shaking his head as the other two nod to each other.
[2013-08-24 02:12:26] * Edna_Stonetalon takes a set back and points her rifle at them "Go ahead. Try something"
[2013-08-24 02:16:33] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Apricot_Tarts eventually makes her way to the entrance to find... a spritebot hovering. There is no trace of the other survivors. The bot slowly turns around, facing Apricot.
[2013-08-24 02:17:31] * Apricot_Tarts goes "Wat?"
[2013-08-24 02:18:54] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The bot studies Apricot_Tarts, before speaking in a rather bouncy and cheerful voice, "Greetings citizen! Please present your work pass for this area!"
[2013-08-24 02:19:22] * Fleet_Fortune suddenly doesn't like this idea anymore. But now that she's on the spot, there's no way she can back down. She keeps giving him her best frown. "There's no way I can convince you to take a little time to help a mare in need?"
[2013-08-24 02:22:05] * Apricot_Tarts shakes her head out of confusion? "Pardon me?" then sort of realizes what's going on "I, uhm, lost my pass in the flow. I'm looking for three individuals that were reported to be here. Have you seen them?"
[2013-08-24 02:22:52] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Ginger_Ails loses to the push of the effluent stream, sending him down the river in the pipes. The stallion squaring up to Fleet_Fortune snorts and chuckles, trotting around her, "Oh, I'm pretty sure there's some way you can convince me." He chuckles rather gruesomely.
[2013-08-24 02:26:10] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The bot makes a loud beep before returning to the upbeat voice, "I'm sorry citizen, but without a pass, I'm afraid I must ask you to leave. The authorities have been notified. Have a glorious day! For the Sisters!" And with that, it flies away.
[2013-08-24 02:26:55] * Apricot_Tarts looks around, searching for the others "Wait! Oh FUCK!"
[2013-08-24 02:28:08] * Ginger_Ails tumbles down the pipe in the fecal flow.
[2013-08-24 02:30:21] <KendallKun_GM> 4 With a stroke of luck, Ginger_Ails ends up back on his hooves and not too worse for wear.
[2013-08-24 02:31:32] * Ginger_Ails spits... he isn't going to be thirsty for a long time. He struggles to get his bearings, and to see any others wherever he's been washed to.
[2013-08-24 02:34:24] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Ginger_Ails ended up a little way away from Apricot_Tarts, just a bit further up the pipe they traveled through. Apricot_Tarts on the other hoof can only see that all traces of the other survivors are gone. If anything is left, it's out in the sea now.
[2013-08-24 02:35:42] * Apricot_Tarts wades towards the exit pipe, looking out into the ocean. If she remmbered correctly, the resuce boats should still be out there.
[2013-08-24 02:35:53] * Ginger_Ails trots up behind her, careful of his footing. "Any sign?"
[2013-08-24 02:37:46] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The blubbering prisoner continues to shake his head, until the other give a final nod. One of them turns and yells, "Fuck this! Go out like a stallion!" He draws a switchblade as does his companion.
[2013-08-24 02:38:17] <Iris> "Welp."
[2013-08-24 02:38:21] * Edna_Stonetalon sighs and fires a grenade at them "Should of waited"
[2013-08-24 02:39:23] * Fleet_Fortune turns a little away from the stallion, peering back at him over his shoulder. "Oh, good! I was getting a bit worried there, for a minute." She follows up with a nice little smile! "Maybe we could take a short little walk? Work out the 'details'? I could /really/ use that help."
[2013-08-24 02:39:45] <Fleet_Fortune> her shoulder*
[2013-08-24 02:39:58] * Edna_Stonetalon redacts
[2013-08-24 02:42:58] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The first stallion charges Edna_Stonetalon, attempting to stab her three times.
[2013-08-24 02:45:00] <KendallKun_GM> 4 His first stab misses completely, resulting in him dropping his own weapon into the sewage, "Ah fuck!"
[2013-08-24 02:45:38] <Iris> "... really? Did you just... drop your weapon?"
[2013-08-24 02:46:02] <Iris> "Surrender. Seriously"
[2013-08-24 02:47:02] * Edna_Stonetalon levels her rifle at him "Stand down now! I' rather not waste the ammo on your worthless ass"
[2013-08-24 02:48:16] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The bulky stallion smirks at Fleet_Fortune, "Sure, a nice short walk. Sounds real nice. After I claim this food." He turns back and trots towards the stall, shoving the other ponies out of the way.
[2013-08-24 02:49:58] * Fleet_Fortune eyes the stallion as he goes to secure the food, looking for any sort of weapons he may have.
[2013-08-24 02:52:46] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The weaponless stallion grits his teeth but does as he is told, his friend on the other hoof chooses to peg as fast as he can, shouting, "Help! Madponies! Madponies!"
[2013-08-24 02:53:16] * Ginger_Ails would get Apricot_Tarts' attention with a hoof on the withers, but seeing as he's /completely/ sodden in shit, he just stands near her and looks out to sea as well.
[2013-08-24 02:53:44] * Apricot_Tarts looks around in the sea "C'mon, they gotta be somewhere in here!"
[2013-08-24 02:53:50] * Iris squares her hooves and takes aim at the fleeing pony.
[2013-08-24 02:58:17] <KendallKun_GM> 4 As Iris fires, her gun jams on the first shot, making the second impossible.
[2013-08-24 02:58:35] <Iris> "... I hate the ocean."
[2013-08-24 02:59:44] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The weaponless stallion shouts to his friend, "Run for it! Get the boss! Get the fucking army! GO!"
[2013-08-24 03:00:51] * Iris manually glitchbusts her weapon.
[2013-08-24 03:01:50] * Edna_Stonetalon brings up her rifle and fires at the fleeing stallion
[2013-08-24 03:05:45] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The grenade sails through the sewers, striking the fleeing stallion and turning him to instant sludge. Chunks slide into the sewer stream as the sound echoes around in the tunnels.
[2013-08-24 03:06:38] <Iris> "... ew."
[2013-08-24 03:06:41] * Edna_Stonetalon "I /really/ didn't want to do that." walking over to where he was, looking for the weapon
[2013-08-24 03:08:37] * Edna_Stonetalon returns and growls at the other pony who attacked "I gave you a chance. Now SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET!"
[2013-08-24 03:11:53] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The blubbering stallion bursts into a new wave of tears as his companion shakily sits, "He... he just... he had a fucking family you prick!" Apricot_Tarts meanwhile can see the ocean, but no trace of the boats. Not even driftwood if they had been destroyed.
[2013-08-24 03:12:22] <Iris> "We defended ourselves. Dicks."
[2013-08-24 03:13:00] * Edna_Stonetalon gets i his face "And I gave him a chance. He didn't take it and payed for it."
[2013-08-24 03:13:18] * Apricot_Tarts sighs "They...they're gone. I hope...let's just get back to the others."
[2013-08-24 03:15:28] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The stallion glares at Edna_Stonetalon, "Fuck you. We did nothing to you and you threatened us! Of course we're gonna fight back! We're Equestria, bird."
[2013-08-24 03:17:00] <Iris> "Equestria's dead."
[2013-08-24 03:17:01] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The bulky stallion continues to work at the stall, yelling at the owner as the crowd begins to thin, all clearly afraid of him. Soon, Fleet_Fortune is stood in a near empty space at the stall, with only the stallion and the owner for company.
[2013-08-24 03:17:04] * Ginger_Ails "Maybe they got swept down a different pipe? We couldn't have missed them if they were tossed out here..." He shakes his head. He follows Apricot_Tarts.
[2013-08-24 03:17:23] <Iris> "Died when the mainland caught fire."
[2013-08-24 03:17:43] * Iris gives him a hard stare from within her armor.
[2013-08-24 03:18:10] * Edna_Stonetalon "No you're not. Equestria is dead. There are new nations forming from it's ashes. We were sent by one to investigate your radio chatter. And you lot killed most of us. For all I know this whole thing is a military vessle."
[2013-08-24 03:20:23] <KendallKun_GM> 4 The prisoner glares at Edna_Stonetalon, "When the boss gets her hooves on you, I'm going to enjoy every fucking second." The blubbering stallion continues crying, still facing the other way.
[2013-08-24 03:20:30] * Fleet_Fortune watches the two in curiosity. Her aim is to learn as much as she can about what the hell this place is, for the moment, and maybe how to find the others who had boarded from the pipe. To that end, she listens and watches attentively for anything, no matter how small or insignificant it may be, while she waits for the stallion to return his attention to her.
[2013-08-24 03:21:47] * Apricot_Tarts goes back to the others, feeling and looking rather depressed
[2013-08-24 03:24:31] * Ginger_Ails follows up behind her. On the plus side, after the turd tumble, he doesn't look like a zebra anymore...
[2013-08-24 03:25:47] <Iris> "One of them tried to run," Iris informs the two ponies returning to you.
[2013-08-24 03:26:29] <Iris> returning to them.*
[2013-08-24 03:26:54] * Apricot_Tarts sighs "Just another one on the list. Not sure if I should care anymore."
[2013-08-24 03:28:38] <KendallKun_GM> 4 As the group go about their individual actions, a sudden crackling pop is heard. A short tinny piece of music is played, echoing in the sewers and near the stall. All the residents freeze in fear as a cheerful voice speaks, "Greetings citizens, please do not be alarmed. The Authorities are in the area!"
[2013-08-24 03:28:58] <KendallKun_GM> 4 End session 2
[2013-08-24 03:30:13] <KendallKun_GM> 4 Players earn 600 EXP for exploding prisoners, threatening innocents, and preventing two ponies from getting it on.
[2013-08-24 03:31:27] <KendallKun_GM> 4 .... and an extra 50 EXP 'cause I give into peer pressure
