Star Group Session 42

[21:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ---------------------------------- STAR GROUP SESSION 42 BEGINNING -----------------------------------------------
06[21:24] * +Sagittis has a filly's oven on his back.
03[21:25] * Kim-solen ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPnP ("")
06[21:25] * +Sour_Grape exists, isn't she pretty.
06[21:26] * +Slag_Heap exists, isn't he shiny.
06[21:26] * +Dust_Off is a pegasus.  She is pretty.
01[21:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Returning once more to our Roving Renegades, we find our group confronted along the road near Mercy by non other than a band of Mareizona Airborne Corps soldiers, all regaled in their brown-colored insectoid power armor... their intimidating barbed scorpionesque tails swaying about as they stand at attention, being ordered to keep not fire upon the group.
06[21:29] * +Roy_Calbeck is oblivious to existence.
01[21:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Mercy is some distance away, within view, but would take some time still to reach, particularly given the fact that the party has armored flying ponies right next to them. The lead equine figure, speaking in a mare's voice through a speaker system says to the group, "Looks as if intel was right this time around. Though it's a little concerning that our reclamation squads have let two fellow pegasi running around unchecked for this long." The figure looks at Dust_Off and Sour_Grape through her yellow bug-eyed visors.
01[21:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The surrounding layout of the party is a flat stretch of dirt road with broken chunks of asphalt leading to Mercy. Around them are sparse, scattered boulders of varying sizes accompanied with small hills at their sides.
06[21:30] * +Roy_Calbeck keeps his service rifle at the ready, giving the leader a flat look.
01[21:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 There are seven power armored equines, including the lead equine figure speaking.
06[21:31] * +Sour_Grape "THats 'cause we ain't comin' with ya. Now piss off, we're busy."
06[21:31] * +Dust_Off narrows her eyes.  "Yes, I've heard of your 'reclamation squads.'  What do you want?"
06[21:32] * +Slag_Heap watches. He really wants to grab a cigar, but doesn't want to let himself be vulnerable looking for it. He keeps his guns trained.
06[21:33] * +Sagittis takes a step closer to Sour_Grape, moving slightly between her and the Enclave scum.
01[21:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The equine figure speaking looks to Sour_Grape briefly before looking to Dust_Off, the helmet obscuring any facial features as it's heard speaking, "We come with an opportunity for you all to aid your fellow ponies. The Enclave are looking for a third party to help ease the transition of reinserting our authority within the region. We are tasked with securing the settlement of Mercy, but wish to do so by non-violent means."
06[21:36] * +Sour_Grape "Blahblahblah I sound nice but I attack peaceful villages if they don't bow to my mighty cock. I said piss off,"
06[21:38] * +Dust_Off glances at Grape, "Stop.  We don't need this."  She looks back at the MAC troopers.  "How do you answer the reports of your atrocities?  Especially against non-Enclave pegasi.  We are interested in protecting ALL ponies."
06[21:39] * +Slag_Heap grumbles quietly to himself. 'Reestablish authority in the region? Yeah, good luck with that, bitch,' he thinks to himself.
06[21:40] * +Sour_Grape looks back at Dust_Off, "Read tween tha lines dust. They said they /want/ to do it peacefully, which means if they can't they'll attack violently. And for what? Tha town can survive on its own without these fuckers sticking their dick where it don't belongs. We've seen them attack cillages for shits and giggles before, remember when they fought legion over the town we hadda
06[21:40] * +Sour_Grape save? They ain't out for anypony but themselves, and there ain't nthin' wrong with that but I ain't gunna help them."
06[21:41] * +Roy_Calbeck says nothing, just keeping his eyes on the leader.
01[21:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The armored equine figure looks once more to Sour_Grape then back to Dust_Off asking with a confused tone to her voice, "Atrocities? If you refer to our government annexing land and liberating those that currently have no legitimate form of authority, then let me assure you that the Enclave shares your sentiment in offering security and peace to not just pegasi, but for /all/ ponies of the wasteland." Turning to Sour_Grape the armored equine speaks to her, "They are surviving, but they are faring no better than they have been for the past century, if our intel is correct. Enclave citizens are privileged to luxuries unheard of to other surface dwelling ponies. We have had to take settlements by force, but we have made sure to limit casualties to aggressors, non-combatants are avoided at all costs."
06[21:45] * +Sagittis just glairs at the ENclave troopers, fighting very hard not to just fill them with AM5mm. These were the great enemy after all. "Enclave just want the surface for resources. Their help will equate to little more than a protection racket. They will rape the region like they did every other time they touched the surface."
06[21:45] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes and spits, "Ya can't really be serious. Yer not serious right?"
06[21:47] * +Slag_Heap looks at the ponies. "Well, that's three out of five who don't want to help them, so lets just move right along." He looks at the soldiers. "Not like these... glorious enclave layabouts are going to attack travelling innocents for not helping, right?"
06[21:48] * +Sagittis is damned sure they will do just that. That is what thugs do after all.
[21:49] <+Roy_Calbeck> "While I'm open t'the idea that there's at least ONE part of th' Enclave that at least attempts t'avoid atrocities, an' while I'm perfectly aware that accidents happen in war, I haven't seen much evidence so far --- beyond yer claim --- that this is th' case."
06[21:50] * +Dust_Off shakes her head, "No.  I've heard what MAC has done to ground pegasi who refuse to be 'reclaimed'.  It is horrendous and unconscionable."  She looks at the mare in charge, "The Enclave should be better than that."
01[21:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The armored equine shakes her head, as she speaks to Sagittis and Sour_Grape, "You are entilted to believe what you will, our methods may not be the best, but we are not your enemy, regardless what you may hear. However, I did not intercept your band to argue politics, nor are we hear to engage you." The figure looks to Slag_Heap and responds with no hint of humor behind it's voice, "Your band is far from innocent, but regardless what your motives are, for this present moment, we are not your enemy." Going back to Dust the figure sighs and says, "I apologize if you have suffered or witnessed mistreatment from our soldiers or officials in past. These are trying and harsh times that sometimes require a harsh response for the sake of survival." Going silent for a moment, the figure then hangs her head slightly adding, "I agree. It is why, even should you refuse to aid us, we will openly violate direct orders to reclaim you both."
01[21:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The figure looks up to Dust_Off and asks, "You realize how serious such an act is to a soldier of the Enclave? How... grievious such insubordination is generally treated with in response by our superiors?"
06[21:53] * +Roy_Calbeck cocks his head to one side. "Does it involve whips and chains?"
06[21:54] * +Sour_Grape "What are you here for then? Other than to be an annoying twat. Unless that was yer goal, and then mission fucking accomplished."
06[21:58] * +Dust_Off would enjoy the whips and chains if they had been an option but they weren't.  "Yes, please tell us your plan."
01[22:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The equine figure looks at Sour_Grape again, speaking with some strain in it's voice... as if trying to keep calm, "Like I have stated, we are here hoping you would listen to reason and aid our cause. Since your goal is to help /all/ ponies, then you would know that assisting the Mareizona Airborne Corps will be accomplishing that goal." turning to Roy_Calbeck the mare replies, "Corporal Punishment is frowned upon highly, though not completely out of the question. Generally however, pertaining the offense, soldiers are court-martialed, then given a sentence appropriate to the severity of their disobedience." Looking towards Dust_Off the soldier replies, "We are trying to establish good relations with Mercy, our squad being tasked with an experimental approach to annexing land. Typically, we order an ultimatium and if refused, we take the settlement by force. However, I have never been a fan of forcefully subduing the populace and urged strongly to my superiors that reason could be a viable alternative to achieving our goals. In order for this to work however, we need the general populace's compliance in agreeing to our terms. We will help aid in their defenses, should they agree to become subjects to Enclave authority, we simply require a third party to help us establish a diplomatic approach."
06[22:05] * +Sour_Grape raises a hoof, "I've got a question."
06[22:06] * +Dust_Off looks at Sour_Grape, "Be civil."
06[22:06] * +Slag_Heap smirks to himself. 'no, you can't take that rod out of her ass and beat her with it.' he thinks to himself.
01[22:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The armored equine looks to Sour_Grape and replies, "Yes?"
06[22:08] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Dust_Off. "If my opinion on it means anything, Captain, diplomacy sounds like a much better direction for the Enclave to take." The unicorn makes sure to add in a slow wink from the eye that he just turned away from the troopers.
06[22:09] * +Sour_Grape "Well, ah ain't a big fuckin' history master'o nothin', but from tha way ah hear it, you lose the war. With the surface, that is. If ya's can't even defend yerself from us savages, why should anyone down here think ya could defend us?"
06[22:09] * +Dust_Off glances at Roy, not sure if he was being sarcastic or coming on to her...
06[22:10] * +Roy_Calbeck hopes his signal wasn't completely missed, and is of course entirely wrong on that score.
12[22:14] * Karina is now known as Kar-Shower
[22:14] <+Dust_Off> Or maybe the Gunny had a lazy eye, how dreadful.
01[22:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The equine figure tilts her head to Dust_Off replying, "I am not certain which war you refer to, if you are speaking of the civil war that is raging through Equestria's heartland, I can assure you that the main body is admirably keeping up the fight. As to your statement, let me be first to say that I personally do not consider any surface borne pony a 'savage'. We would have had this war in this region settled years ago had this... New Pony Legion not appeared. Steel Rangers, formidable opponets, aren't infinite. Even now, they will pewter out of this conflict first before the Legion does."
01[22:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Was actually speaking to Sour_Grape.
06[22:16] * +Sagittis snorts and stays close to Sour_Grape with a look of' touch her and I will make you cheese'.
06[22:17] * +Sour_Grape tilts her head at the pegasus, "AH heard ya lost bad, and that yer dicks." SHe looks over at Dust because maybe she got the wrong information.
06[22:19] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes, "Murtaugh, have mercy...who am I speaking to?  Name, rank, and unit, please."
01[22:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The armored equine turns to Dust_Off and replies, "Pardon, I would have introduced myself sooner, but you still do not have your weapons untrained upon us, even though we have not given any hostile intent, perhaps this would better show that we are trustworthy." Raising an armored hoof to unlock her helmet latch with a hissing, the figure reveals a fairly pretty aqua coated mare's face with a tightly, proper periwinkle mane, continuing with a serious expression on her face, "I am Captain Divebomb, Company yellow."
01[22:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Mane is a proper bun.
06[22:26] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to Dust_Off for a cue.
06[22:26] * +Roy_Calbeck arches his eyebrow, because that's always a plus in these situations.
06[22:27] * +Sour_Grape "I ain't droppin' mah gun."
06[22:27] * +Dust_Off has had her weapon out but lowered safely towards the ground.  "Captain, the 'main body' is in shambles, stuck in a civil war, and numerous factions have broken away."
06[22:28] * +Roy_Calbeck lowers, but does not holster or move away, his rifle.
01[22:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Captain Divebomb blinks and replies in sheer disbelief, "Shambles? Where did you get your information from? Our intelligence have reported over and over that there's a war, but the main body persists valiantly."
06[22:29] * +Roy_Calbeck coughs. "If they hafta insert 'valiantly', ma'am, that's a bit less than what y'might call 'objective'."
06[22:33] * +Dust_Off gives Roy a side long glance, and then turns back to Captain Divebomb.   I know, the same way I know how the Enclave usually deals with ponies who disobey unconscionable orders."
06[22:33] * +Sagittis shakes his head and snorts. "I think your superiors need to leard, deceptive tactics are supposed to be used on the /enemy/."
[22:33] <+Dust_Off> *"I know
01[22:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The other armored pegasi begin to look at each other, though with their helmets on, it's impossible to distinguish what their facial expressions read... however Captain Divebomb looks lost in thought, her eyes moving about very quickly as if she's processing Dust_Off's words. Giggles looks up tentaively from her prone position and mumbles out quietly, "So much talky... big words..." It doesn't take the Captain long to seem to realize the implications that Mareizona Irregular pegasus mare speaks, as her face breaks into a worried face of horror, her eyes widening slightly with fear, as she asks with her tone hushed, "You... are... or were an Enclave citizen... from the main body..."
06[22:39] * +Sour_Grape "With all them wings ya figure she coula' flown over there and seen for herself."
06[22:40] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to Dust_Off, then back to Divebomb. His magical grip on the rifle tightens, slightly.
06[22:40] * +Dust_Off nods, "You pushed for a...nonviolent means of annexing, correct, Captain?"
[22:41] <+Dust_Off> "A change in High Command's policy?" she adds.
06[22:43] * +Sagittis slinks back a bit and scans for places to hide. If he can he nestles into a hidy hole.
01[22:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Divebomb doesn't respond initally to Dust_Off's questions... more looking as if she was horror-stricken, the mare's head tilted downward. However she does look up finally after a nearly half a minute of silence, as she replies, "Nonviolent...? Oh y-yes. It's not a change in policy, as I've said, it is an experiement. My superiors are aware of my rather... lenient previous actions of past. Though I am loyal to the cause, I am not a mindless drone, given sway to ridiculous notions of supremecy merely due being more fortunate in being born in the clouds. If my methods of persuading the settlement to give in to Enclave authority is successful, then Commander Stratosphere himself stated he would endorse the change of military policy."
06[22:48] * +Sour_Grape "Ya haven't given one single good reason why anytown should bow to your might dick."
06[22:48] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at Dusty. "Somethin' about all this smells, ma'am... an' I don't mean about th' Captain here."
06[22:51] * +Dust_Off frowns, "Wait, Stratosphere is CO of MAC?"
01[22:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sagittis starts backing away from the group to look for somewhere to hide, one of the armored equines aims his dual plasma rifles attached to his battle-saddle, speaking outloud, "Ma'am, the zebra is attempting to engage in stealth tactics!" To which Divebomb turns quickly and barks out, "Disarm! Nobody is forced to listen to us if they do not wish." causing the armored figure to nod, ceasing his aiming and saying in response, "Ma'am, yes ma'am." Divebomb turns back to Dust_Off giving a nodding, "Yes, Commander Stratosphere is CO of the Mareizona Airborne Corps, taking direct orders under Chairpony Contrails."
06[22:55] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks, twice. "...oooooh... CON-trails! I get it...!"
01[22:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Divebomb just raises an eyebrow to Roy_Calbeck in confusion. Sagittis notes that there is a boulder large enough to obscufate his body from view of the armored equines.
06[22:58] * +Sagittis snorts. If they noticed, there was little point. He just keeps his minigun pointed at the Enclave CO.
06[22:59] * +Dust_Off frowns, "Ah, well, "  She stops to shoot a glance at Roy, and then turns back to Divebomb, "I would beware.  They are following your suggestion because they are desperate.  I know what happens when you second guess High Command.  My CO did, and they killed her for it and then came for me as a witness.  Killed her in Thunderhoof, so that's how I know how the main body is doing."
06[22:59] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs back at Divebomb, nonchalantly. He hopes.
06[23:00] * +Roy_Calbeck flicks an ear in Dust_Off's direction. If he's heard this bit about her history before, he can't remember it, and it's kind of fascinating to him.
01[23:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Divebomb blinks and looks... unsettled and surreal, asking, "Who are you? Exactly?"
06[23:03] * +Dust_Off clenches her jaw for a moment.  "I am Captain Dust Off, Mareizona Irregulars.  I was Corporal Dust Off, Fourteenth Search and Rescue Squadron."
06[23:04] * +Sour_Grape "I want a title..."
06[23:04] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to Sour_Grape. "You're Corporal Grape, Turret Murder Filly.
06[23:05] * +Roy_Calbeck throws a smile in on that one.
01[23:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Divebomb nods to Dust_Off then replies with a faint smile, "You... are an engineer then? Or Medic perhaps?" the causing some of the other armored pegasus to glance at each other somewhat.
06[23:11] * +Dust_Off nods, "Medic, combat surgeon qualed."
06[23:19] * +Sour_Grape has nothing else to say because now she's confused with the way the conversation went
01[23:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Divebomb nods slowly still giving off a faint smile as she looks at Dust_Off, "Noted... " then goes silent for... a rather awkwardly long moment, causing one of the other armored pegasus to clear it's throat loudly. Once done the captain blinks and says with a faint blush forming, "Right, yes, Well, our offer still stands. Yes, we seek to assume authority over Mercy, we wish to do this by non-violent means, however this location /is/ vital to our goals, it is too high of a target for any one side to maintain. It would be disasterous if either the Rangers or worse, the Legion take control over this settlement. Do know, that this lone settlement can't hope to hold out against a siege. Those automated turrets are formidable, but the Legion is not above throwing it's soldiers at it as fodder. To answer your question young lady." the helmetless mare turns to Sour_Grape, "Enclave citizens are granted a formal means of education, infact it is mandatory. They are alotted luxuries unheard of by other wasteland denizens, such as comfortable living, we are an efficient society and will assign a job to those that have trouble obtaining one themselves, mind you I said a 'job'. Which means an income and choice, not slave labor. If you doubt my words, ask Corp-- Captain, Dust_Off here." she smiles once more to the pegasexy.
06[23:21] * +Sagittis steps back over to Sour_Grape, not having anything non-ventilating to add to the conversation.
06[23:23] * +Sour_Grape "Cept ya don't have all that to give, and the townsfolk there already have jobs, and clearly don't want you messing it up, So just leave them alone, why is it so fuckin' hard."
06[23:23] * +Sagittis snorts to the ENclave mare. "Yeah, and all it took was displacing an entire nation of griffins to keep enjoying you 'luxuries'. Fucking, entitled, self absorbed, winged vermin.
06[23:24] * +Sagittis blinks. "The Enclave, not the Griffins."
06[23:25] * +Roy_Calbeck coughs into a hoof.
06[23:26] * +Dust_Off bristles and looks back at Sagittis, "And the Griffin were so welcoming to Enclave envoys.  Let the past go, colt."
06[23:27] * +Roy_Calbeck looks up at the sky. "More importantly, let's NOT start a new war right now when we don't hafta."
01[23:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Captain Divebomb frowns and turns to Sagittis, about to respond to the colt when Dust_Off speaks for her, relenting and giving a faint smile once more.
06[23:27] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes and starts digging in his pockets for a cigar.
06[23:29] * +Sour_Grape "Does it matter? If the griffins were welcoming, they still wouldn't have let themselves be fucked up the ass because the enclave wanted their shit. THere's the fuckin' problem. The MAC isn't asking for peacem they're asking for absolute control by whatever means nessecary, and that ain't the same fucking thing. Just because they say 'if you agree we wont slaughter you'
06[23:29] * +Sour_Grape doesn't mean slaughtering is off tha fuckin' table. If they really wanted peace, they'd let people get on with their lives instead of tryin' be tha boss'a it."
06[23:32] * +Sagittis looks over to Roy_Calbeck. "New war? They have been at war with everything other than themselves that didn't roll over and deep throat them while they robed the poor bastards." He leers at Dust_Off. "Fine. Legion haven't shot us for two days, time to forget the past and make friends." He shakes his head and looks back to Divebomb, smirking at Sour's support on the issue. "Sisi itakuwa bora...
06[23:32] * +Sagittis ...mbali wanawaangamiza hii fujo kabla tunahitaji kupambana nao katika mji." He smirks. "If the Enclave really wanted to help, they would fight the Legion without demanding the whole wasteland and would take the thanks they are given. They are not."
06[23:34] * +Slag_Heap finds his cigar and lights it. He looks up to the sky.
06[23:34] * +Roy_Calbeck returns Sagi's look squarely. "If you want th' Irregulars t'fight your pre-existin' war, y'might wanna ask Captain Dust Off to sign on fer it, first."
06[23:34] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to Divebomb. "Our apologies, ma'am."
01[23:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Captain Divebomb looks to Sour_Grape and replies with a serious expression, "Because the surface is not a very welcoming place in of itself. There is no order or structure, routinely everyday, you have rogue bands of tribal affinities that rape, pillage, and prey on other more peaceable groups, or each other. It is so rampant, that the peaceable groups themselves become leery of any others not within their settlements and not without just cause. If the surface had not been so lethally irradiated and uninhabital for as long as it did, then the Enclave would have intervened sooner." Turning to Sagittis now the mare adds, "And then what? Shall we wait idly by, as another 'Pony Chancelor' rises to power and repeats the very same thing? Or perhaps another Red Eye? Progress by any means imaginable? I will admit that the Enclave is not entirely blameless, but the local denizens themselves are hardly better. If anything their rampant anarchy is the very definitive cause upon why things continue to stagnate to such deliterious conditions."
06[23:37] * +Sour_Grape "B-b-b-bulllllllshit. Ya don't wanna help, ya want /control/ and thems aint tha same thing. Are we done here?"
06[23:38] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs, facehoofing.
06[23:39] * +Slag_Heap looks down at Sour_Grape. "Nothin's stoppin us."
06[23:40] * +Dust_Off facehoofs as well, "Captain, pardon the foals.  You've been more civil that we'd come to expect, but we won't help anyone but the free ponies of Mareizona.  If MAC can ally instead of annex, i'd welcome someone aspiring the ideal of the Enclave."  She stops, "Because no one has yet."
06[23:41] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Dust_Off, "Thats what ah've been saying! Jeeze."
06[23:42] * +Roy_Calbeck turns his head to Sour Grape, then holsters his rifle and sighs.
06[23:42] * +Dust_Off glances at Sour_Grape, "Yes, repeatedly and full of curses."
06[23:42] * +Sour_Grape "Right, exactly..." SHe doesn't understand Dust_Off's point at all.
01[23:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Looking defeated Divebomb sighs then shakes her head saying, "You are free to leave at any given time, though I will warn you, we /are/ at war with these two other groups. The Mareizona and by extension, the rest of the wasteland, /must/ have a form of order. Equestria must be made whole once more and we will not sit by and allow it to become worse any longer. Keep that in mind when you travel and... I sincerely hope you come to your senses." Turning to Dust_Off the mare frowns sadly looking at the mare with a glint of longing as she says with a sigh, "Unfortunately, an alliegence is apparently off the table... at least according to Commander Stratosphere... and much to my chagrin, he has very strong standing points on particular topics."
06[23:45] * +Sour_Grape "Why don't ya just kill'em if he's such a dick."
06[23:46] * +Dust_Off facehoofs again, "Grape, shut up."
06[23:46] * +Sagittis shakes his head at Roy_Calbeck. "You are an awful judge of character, I swear." He looks over to Dust_Off and is about to say something but thinks better of it. He looks at Divebomb sternly. "Kama utakuwa kushikilia kwamba mtazamo, kuomba mimi kamwe kuona tena." (If you will hold that view, pray I never see you again.)
06[23:49] * +Roy_Calbeck just gives Sagittis a flat look.
01[23:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Divebomb looks at Sour_Grape with a sense of surrealism, squinting and eyeing her in an analytical fashion. Looking lost at Sagittis' words, the mare then turns to Dust_Off once, redonning her helmet and giving a crisp salute, speaking, "It was a pleasure to meet you and your Irregulars, Captain Dust_Off. A shame our talks have deteroriated the way they have. But it seems the be how things run and will continue to operate in the wasteland, doesn't it? No hope of peace, just endless bickering and bloodshed."
06[23:50] * +Slag_Heap grunts and starts marching to Mercy.
06[23:50] * +Sour_Grape "You're the agressor here dumbass, you don't get to bitch about blodshed. Thats not how this works."
06[23:50] * +Sagittis "Being an ally rather than an invader may help with that. Free hint there."
06[23:53] * +Dust_Off glares at Sagittis, "You too.  Stop."  She looks back to Divebomb.  "There is hope.  Just not at the muzzle of a beam rifle.  It didn't work for the first Enclave.  It won't work for a Second."   She holsters her rifle and starts after Slag_Heap towards Mercy.  "Let's go everyone.  Move out."
06[23:53] * +Sour_Grape nods and follows after Dust_Off, "Dunno why ya kept tellin' me ta shutup, ah was right."
01[23:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Divebomb turns to her squad speaking authoriatively, "First squad, on me!" then flaps her wings and takes off, causing the rest of the soldiers to follow in formation, soaring off into the skies and heading south.
06[23:55] * +Slag_Heap stretches as he walks. "Welp, that was a waste of time."
06[23:55] * +Roy_Calbeck glares at Sagittis. "Even if you've already decided FOR the Captain of this group who we should be hostile with, we DON'T need t'let our enemies KNOW that we're hostile before there's a need t'start shootin'. Godsdammit, colt, use a little tactical sense occasionally."
01[23:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles rises to her hooves and looks amongst the group, her expression looking very relieved as she speaks, "Bad ponies fly away... goodie.. big armor ponies are scary."
06[23:57] * +Dust_Off looks back at Sour_Grape, "You were uselessly stating the obvious.  I wasn't going to take their missive and skip along merrily to their marching drum.  BUT this is the first we've Enclaver who's shown any mercy, any doubt in the current regime.   I don't want to reinforce a negative stereotype of non-Enclavers.  I want her to doubt the Enclave more.  To think, dammit."
06[23:58] * +Sour_Grape "Ah gave her plenty ta think about. If a filly can poke holes in their stupid bullshit, then she should too. And it wasn't like ah was bein' hostile, I just said they were dumb and why."
06[23:58] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs again, and slings up his weapon. "Might's well check out those posts, now." The unicorn trots forward to get a better view.
Session Time: Fri Mar 22 00:00:00 2013
06[00:00] * +Slag_Heap puffs on his cigar. 'Meanwhile, Slag got bored off his tits.' he thinks to himself. 'Eh, at least I got to see politics. Polititions must be a barrel of laughs.'
06[00:01] * +Dust_Off shakes her head, "It's the manner in which you did it, Grape.  I was poking holes as well, but I seemed reasonable, my points gained strength because I was likable, relatable.  She looked at you like you were insane, the fitting image of a dirtside savage."
06[00:02] * +Sour_Grape "I didn't sound insane at all, I explained mahself fully. Only a dumbass what can't hear would think I'm insane. Jeeze, you're so fuckin' judgemental taday."
06[00:03] * +Roy_Calbeck just trots off towards the nearest post, at least close enough that he might be able to discern what's on top of it.
06[00:05] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape and shakes his head at Dust_Off. He leers back to Roy_Calbeck. "Now, here is the difference between us. I decide for me and only me. You and Dust are the ones who insist on deciding for others." He shkes his head. "Tactical sense would be us ventilating them in the back while they aren't expecting it, like now." He nods at Sour_Grape again. "Gruff, but strait forward. If...
06[00:05] * +Sagittis ...you wanted to get her to doubt the Enclave, defending their past sins is not helpful."
06[00:06] * +Roy_Calbeck can't even hear most of that, unless Sagi's following him, but what he does hear, he just shrugs off.
01[00:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group uneventfully makes it way close to the settlement... finding that the place was more of a camp from the looks... a large broken wooden sign rests in splinters on the ground before the steel-fenced camp, that was clearly shaped in some sort of form, though from the ground it was difficult to make out exactly what form that was. Many large, old tents remain, along with several watch tower posts, a couple having been reconstructed in portions with various scrap metal, clearly indicating at one point they had fallen. Rows of very sturdy metal posts rests between the fenceline, with large automated heavy-duty turrets with multi-barrelled guns resting on the posts. When the group nears, the closest nearby turrets, four, turn to their direction, though not immediately firing.
06[00:07] * +Roy_Calbeck holds up. "Eeeeyup. Thought as much."
06[00:08] * +Sagittis would follow to talk to him.
[00:08] <+Sagittis> then go back
06[00:09] * +Roy_Calbeck asides to the colt, since he's following. "If you wanna go do your own thing, don't involve th' rest of us without askin'. An' that's not 'tactics', that's 'cunning'. Know th' difference."
06[00:10] * +Dust_Off scowls, "Grape, you have a gift for speaking, mostly through intimidation and bluster, but there ARE other ways to convince ponies."  She scowls at Sagittis, "I didn't defend past sins, you little snot.  Stop defending the Griffins."
06[00:10] * +Roy_Calbeck looks over his shoulder at Dusty. "Automated turrets, ma'am. ALL active, from th' looks of it."
06[00:11] * +Dust_Off glances at Roy, "We're not dead, so they're in a ready scan mode."
06[00:11] * +Sour_Grape frowns at Dust_Off, "Why should I try'ta please them with nice words? THey were talking about takin' over towns cause they wouldn't submit, so clearly they weren't gunna listen ta anything but a blunt hammer."
[00:11] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Yes, ma'am, that's what I was thinkin'."
06[00:13] * +Slag_Heap decides not to involve himself in matters where the outcomes have the possibility of being a shotgun to the face or a minigun to the balls.
06[00:13] * +Dust_Off turns to Grape, "Them, MAC?  Yes, they need a hammer.  Her, Divebomb.  She can be talked to, could be.  Maybe not now."
06[00:14] * +Sour_Grape "Well she seemed ta listen, less you were at a different conversation ah wasn't aware'a."
01[00:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As the group 'converses' with one another, Giggles stares at the turrets with sheer fascination... having the same overly curious look on her face she had when she wrecked the cooling unit... that is until a loud crackle can be heard from one of the posts, with large speakers booming out a masculine, deep voice to the group, "Hold. You are newcomers to Mercy, make no sudden movements and one of you trot up to the speaker box by the gate. If you do anything sudden, the turrets will open fire. They're twitchy too, comes with being over two centuries old and repaired over and over again." Giggles eeped loudly as the voice spoke, teleporting behind Dust_Off and cowering behind her with her forelegs over her eyes.
06[00:17] * +Slag_Heap looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Maybe the password is Ice Cream."
06[00:18] * +Roy_Calbeck chuckles and trots forward. "I got this."
06[00:18] * +Sour_Grape huffs at Roy, "FIne."
06[00:18] * +Sagittis snorts at Roy_Calbeck. "Just show me the same respect you expect me to show. You are companions, not my superiors." He tilts his head to Dust_Off. "Why should I stop defending the victims and my tribe?" He shakes his head. "She had her head in the sand. She thought being an invader should be met with gratitude. She was deluded. I'd be willing to bet it would take the MAC betraying her...
06[00:18] * +Sagittis ...personally to get her head from between her haunches." He looks over to Mercy and sighs. "Just... don't sell them out to the 'well meaning' Enclave raiders."
06[00:18] * +Roy_Calbeck goes up to the speaker and says, "Hello."
06[00:20] * +Slag_Heap puffs on his cigar. "I wonder what's for dinner..." he mutters to himself. "Steak would sound pretty good about now..."
01[00:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The worn and dusty speakerbox speaks with the same voice from the fence speakers, replying, "Welcome to Mercy, state your business and names. Also, You /must/ hand over all weapons to the guards to enter. They will be kept in a secure location until you are leaving. Once you exit the town, you'll be given your weapons back. /No exceptions/. So save any honeyed words for somewhere else or take your sorry tail somewhere else."
06[00:22] * +Dust_Off shakes her head, "You weren't listening.  She..."  She sighs and looks behind her at the pop and crackle of magic.  She pats the cowering alicorn on the head, "Got too curious, huh?"  She glares at Sagittis and then ignores him.
[00:22] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Not a problem.  I'm Sergeant Roy Calbeck, of the Mareizona Irregulars.  That's who yer seein' out here."
01[00:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> The speaker actually said 'Give' not 'hand'
06[00:22] * +Sour_Grape grumbles to herself, "I'll give'em one bullet, he can choose where he wants it." And by to herself that means not very loud.
[00:22] <+Roy_Calbeck> "We're here t'offer our services."
06[00:23] * +Sour_Grape "And I was listening, when we tagether pointed out her superiors were lying to her she seemed frightened. Duh."
01[00:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The speaker box replies to Roy_Calbeck, "What services exactly? We're full up on whores at the moment. And we don't deal with slaver shit-fucks."
06[00:24] * +Roy_Calbeck laughs. "Then you ain't heard of us, 'cause we're not either of those. We're mercs fer hire."
06[00:25] * +Sagittis shakes his head and looks over to Sour_Grape. "Is it sad that the two youths are the reasonable ones and the good judges of character?"
[00:25] <+Roy_Calbeck> "In fact, we wiped a buncha slavers out by Dune.  Didn't hear about that, huh?  Got a radio in there?"
06[00:26] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Sagittis, "Dusty is reasonable an'a good judge'a character. She's just wrong this time, it happens."
06[00:26] * +Dust_Off glances back at Sagittis, "You aren't a judge of character; you're an unthinking zealot."
06[00:28] * +Slag_Heap thinks to himself: 'And IIIII'm SlagHeap.'
01[00:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The speaker box replies, "That right? Well we have had a bit of problem with manticores lately..." the voice can still be somewhat heard quietly as it converses with another, masculine voice, the deeper one speaking, "Sure shot will be happy about this... Mareizona Irregulars, you heard of them?" The other less deeper masculine voice replies, "Can't say I have... but uhh... since our radio's been busted, haven't really been able to keep up on current events..." the deep voice then speaks clearly back to Roy_Calbeck, "Okay, I've signaled the gatekeeper to allow you in. Don't cause any trouble, every single guard's been trained... a lot... so they're all crack shots." With that, the entrance gate clicks and slowly starts to grind itself loudly open... letting out a rather nasty scrapping and grinding sound... the gatekeeper, a... large... buffalo? Makes herway up to the gate... dual miniguns strapped to her battlesaddle as she motions the handsome white stallion to enter.
06[00:31] * +Dust_Off watches Roy, warily.
06[00:32] * +Sour_Grape wonders why Dust is staring at Roy's ass, "We goin' in now?"
06[00:32] * +Roy_Calbeck signals the others forward. "CLEAR!"
01[00:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck doesn't have a donkey...
06[00:33] * +Roy_Calbeck waits for the others to arrive before going in.
06[00:33] * +Sagittis groans and shakes his head. "Zealot, right. Thanks, Cap'n Bitch Cakes."
06[00:34] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes, "So mature you two." SHe goes to enter the town
06[00:34] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes at the group's bickering and follows Roy. "Nice saddle." He says when he sees the buffalo.
06[00:35] * +Sagittis rolls his eyes and follows Sour_Grape. "I need to look into getting payed."
06[00:37] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes at Sagittis, and walks to the gates.
01[00:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 It's difficult to actually hear Roy_Calbeck's words over the loud scrapping/grinding noises of the gate opening, though the party does see him motion a foreleg. Sour_Grape nor Slag_Heap can hear what the stallion says
06[00:38] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks, watching the others approach with all their eyes rolling like that. It's... disconcerting.
01[00:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles watches cautiously the gate then the group... seeing that they were rolling their eyes, causes to do it too... over and over and over again... she starts wobbling about as she trots, saying to herself, "Oohhh dizzy..."
01[00:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> *causes her to do it too
06[00:40] * +Sour_Grape started a trend! Are they inside now?
01[00:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 No they're in a void.
06[00:42] * +Slag_Heap floats in the void. "Slag Heap is wish granting fairy!" But for serious, are they inside?
01[00:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Yes, they enter inside the settlement... the buffalo heiffer going to collect Roy_Calbeck's weapons then the group's once she persumably does so successfully, the automated turrets... the ones facing towards away from the gate, now swivel and turn to face the group...  at least one at each member... eight turrets are now within range and pointed to the group. Inside, they notice that the road cuts through the settlement, with smaller bungalows near watchtowers. There is also a small amount of townsfolk watching the group with three other guards approacing the group.
06[00:43] * +Sour_Grape gives up her weapons, but she is /not/ pleased about it
06[00:43] * +Slag_Heap stretches out now that the heavy weapons are off him.
06[00:49] * +Roy_Calbeck gives over his firearms politely.
06[00:49] * +Sagittis stops and backs up when the heiffer comes to take his weapons. "Um, no. I don't go anywhere unarmed."
06[00:50] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Sagi. "It's a requirement of not gettin' shot. Don't like it, you can wait outside town."
06[00:51] * +Dust_Off gives the heifer all her weapons, and then looks back at Sagittis, "You speak for yourself."
01[00:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The buffalo heiffer takes the groups weapons, save for Sagittis' which the buffalo frowns and stares at the zebra colt... as large as he was... she was... way bigger. Hoofsteps can be heard from the closest watchtower, making creeky noises from the wooden steps, as a purple striped earth zony stallion sporting an indigo colored short mohawk approaches the group with a discerning eye, moving from group to group. The zony has an aged, but well-maintained markspony rifle slung on his back, wearing a loose red jacket with many bandoleers over his rather toned frame. Speaking in the same deep voice that was over the speakers, the zony says outloud, "Then get the fuck out, or you'll be dropped."
06[00:52] * +Sour_Grape "Just give them the weapons Sagi, we're here to help them, don't be a dick."
06[00:55] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to the zony. "Afternoon."
06[00:55] * +Sagittis tilts his head to the zony. "I take it I can't wait outside?" He looks to Sour_Grape. "It's not being a dick. Its not wanting to be defenseless in a warzone. These things take a long time to get on."
06[00:57] * +Roy_Calbeck flatlooks at the zebra colt. "Pretty sure 'wait outside' is a good translation of 'get the fuck out'."
06[00:58] * +Sagittis interprited that as 'get out of range of the guns' not 'stand outside the gate'.
01[00:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The zony says to Sagittis, "Anyone the system doesn't recognize and isn't cleared that's within 20 yards of the auto-turrets will be cut in half. If you want to wait, you better wait outside that range then. If you get jumped out there, we're not wasting the bullets to save your hide either. It's a pretty easy and reasonable request and a strict rule that we are glad to enforce." the zony doesn't respond to Roy_Calbeck, his attention diverted to the flufflecolt, though he does nod to the heiffer, who starts making her way to a bungalow with reinforced metal plates over the windows, having the rest of the party's weapons. The three other guards approaching the group now take out their various armaments, but do not aim at the colt.
06[00:59] * +Sour_Grape "Ugh, fine, you know Sagi you don't /always/ have to be the most difficult member of the party. Sometimes you're allowed ta bend, fuck."
06[01:02] * +Roy_Calbeck holds his tongue further, hoping Sour can get through to the colt.
06[01:02] * +Dust_Off gives Sagittis a tired look, "First you can't be bothered to merely show a piece of paper at Dune.  Now you can't follow the rules of the town we're trying to help.  Stay outside for all i care."
06[01:03] * +Slag_Heap scratches his moustach. He already likes this settlement.
06[01:04] * +Sagittis grits his teeth. "Fine. Take them." He snorts to Dust_Off. "Dune is full of bastards. I was dicking with them and this is a safety issue. All it takes is one guard with sticky hooves or some thug who snuck something in." He shakes his head at Dust_Off and walks into the settlement after his guns are taken, hopefully they would let him keep his knife and potions.
06[01:07] * +Roy_Calbeck didn't even keep his spiked hoofshoes. Then again, he's the Honorable Moron type.
06[01:09] * +Slag_Heap still has his hooves. Heh Heh Heh.
06[01:10] * +Dust_Off still has her glamorous mane.  All that she needs.
01[01:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sagittis' knife is concealed and easy to hide, the guard patting him down doesn't find it. Stripping the flufflecolt of his weapons, he makes his way after the heiffer to the same bungalow, with the zony just looking at the colt with a cautious look then turns to the rest of the party still remaining, speaking with a small smile, "Welcome to Mercy, name's Juicy Fruit, or but everypony just calls me Juicy. For the records, can I get the rest of your names? Including Mr. Badass over there?"
06[01:11] * +Roy_Calbeck nods towards Dusty.
06[01:12] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "Why da he gets be badass? Oh, and I'm SOur Grape... what are you?"
06[01:13] * +Dust_Off blinks at Juicy.  Why did everyone think smelly old donkeys were so tough?  She shakes the thought away, "I'm Dust Off, Captain of the Mareizona Irregulars."  that seemed so much less...impressive after scene like that..."
01[01:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The settlement is divided in half, large closed flapped tents to the south, with various bungalows to the north, Four watch towers at the corners of each of the rather small settlement. There is a sign in the middle of the road, a larger, metal one with black letters on it that read, with the first words heavily faded, 'Luna's Mercy'. There is what appears to be a barracks that reads, 'Sloppy's Second's, Food and Bed.' with another metal sign, up the middle dirt road. Opposite of that, is another bungalow with a bullet painted in black on it that reads, 'Sure Shootin'. on it.
[01:14] <+Dust_Off> (nix the last quotation mark)
06[01:14] * +Sagittis replies flatly, not fond of being talked down to. "Sagittis."
01[01:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Juicy Fruit smirks to Sour_Grape and replies simply, "I'm fabulous is what I am." then nods in reponse to hearing their names. Eyeing Slag_Heap he asks, "What about 'Shines' over there?" pointing to the cyber stallion.
06[01:17] * +Sour_Grape blinkly blinks, "Oh... kay..."
06[01:17] * +Dust_Off nods to the chromed cyberpony, "He's Slag_Heap."
06[01:17] * +Slag_Heap grunts.
[01:18] <+Dust_Off> "He says, 'Hail and well met.'"
06[01:18] * +Roy_Calbeck arches a brow at the zony, but says nothing.
06[01:21] * +Sagittis tilts his head a little, but shrugs it off.
01[01:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Nodding to the Dust_Off he says, "Good know." then looks amongst the group speaking, "So you're mercs huh? Well if you're looking for work, talk to Sure Shot at his shop, he's got something lined up to fit your fancy. If you need something cool to drink, or want to wet your whistle, talk to Sloppy, she'll set you up nice."
01[01:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> or want to rest your eyes*
06[01:21] * @SilentBrony|GM facedesks. The world shakes.
06[01:22] * +Slag_Heap rubs his belly. That was quite a rumble.
06[01:24] * +Sour_Grape asks again, "Really... what are you?"
01[01:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Juicy Fruit fades his smirking, giving Sour_Grape a dead pan and saying back, "Trying to get on my nerves, kid?"
06[01:25] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Dust_Off. "Th' guard said they've got manticore problems, mainly."
06[01:25] * +Sagittis looks over to Sour_Grape. "He's a zony. A pony and a zebra got screwing. Made him."
06[01:26] * +Dust_Off looks at Sour_Grape, "He's a zony, filly.  This is what I'm talking about, tact." She looks aghast at Sagittis, "You could find some too."
06[01:26] * +Sour_Grape shakes her head her eyes wide when Sagittis talks, "They can do /that/!? Thats so cool."
06[01:27] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head, chuckling. "Sorry, Juicy, foals y'know."
06[01:27] * +Dust_Off looks back at Roy, "More manticores?  Well, I guess..."  She sighs and facehoofs at Sour_Grape.
01[01:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Juicy turns to Sagittis and just frowns at the colt. Then grumbles under his breath... he then just... blinks... at Sour_Grape's futher words. Tilting his head to the filly and speaking, "Wish most thought that way." shaking his head then looking at the group, he turns to Roy_Calbeck and shrugs saying, "Yeah, what can you do? Say the darndest things. Anyway, I got a town to look out for, welcome to Mercy and like any place, just don't cause any trouble and we'll become friends..." he then grins and adds, "Maybe even the best of friends." snickering and making his way back to the watchtower.
06[01:30] * +Sour_Grape is confused, "Why wouldn't that be cool? You've got like tha powers'a both races. Thats fuckin' awesome, why wouldn't it be a good thing. ANd ya got those cool stripe things without being all black'n'white'nlame."
06[01:30] * +Roy_Calbeck laughs, shaking his head again.
06[01:31] * +Slag_Heap merely smirks.
06[01:31] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Yup. Donkeys can too." He looks over to Dust_Off. "Just putting it in the easiest form for her to process." He looks back to Sour_Grape. "Hey, black and white is sheek, not lame."
01[01:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To note, when the weapons were removed, the automated turrets once again go back to pointing their deadly ends outward from the town, robotically swiveling in a an unsurprisingly robotic manner. Juicy stops in place and looks over his shoulder to Sour_Grape replying with a grin, though it's more of a sadder one, "You'd be surprised filly." then resumes his way up the stairwell.
01[01:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Cutie Mark Crusaders redundancy marks! YAY~!
06[01:32] * +Sour_Grape is so confused why he's being all sad about it, she'd want stripes, oh, or floppy ears. Those'd be awesome.
06[01:32] * +Dust_Off sighs, "I need to take up a self-destructive habit..."  She starts walking towards Sure Shot's shop of shooting supplies swiftly.
06[01:33] * +Sour_Grape follows after Dust_Off and doesn't see why she's so mopey.
06[01:34] * +Slag_Heap follows after Dust_Off. "I got a spare cigar around here somewhere..."
01[01:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles follows along with the group her attention drawn off towards something along the road as they move up the dirt path seperating the row of bungalows. Various townsponies and... even a zebra mare meander about, each wearing a strange metal badge over either their coats or garments. Once reaching 'Sure Shootin's front door, the group finds themselves alicorn-less.
06[01:38] * +Slag_Heap looks around. "This spells trouble..." he mutters. "Cap, we lost an alicorn."
06[01:39] * +Sour_Grape looks around, "Oh Shit." SHe imeditly takes to the air to try and find her.
[01:40] <+Dust_Off> "Tobacco is a noxious weed."  She snaps up at the mention of Giggles and leaps into the air to find the mare.  "Giggles!  Come with us!"  She shouts.
06[01:40] * +Roy_Calbeck goes over to see what Giggles is looking at.
01[01:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 It doesn't take long for Sour_Grape to see the alicorn mare inbetween one of the bungalows... rooting through a faded green, plastic trash recepticle. Dust_Off also sees the same sight. At the mention of her name, the alicorn mare looks up with something in her mouth, looking up to the pegasus mare with an alert face at first, then flattens her ears and her eyes begin to water, drooping her head a little.
06[01:42] * +Sour_Grape blinks at the alicorn, "What're you doin'"
02[01:42] * Kar-Shower ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
06[01:43] * +Slag_Heap looks at Dust_Off, "Hey, you asked for a self destructive habit, I was just making a suggestion."
01[01:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles scuffs one of her hooves on the dirt... the passing townsponies turn and look wide-eyed at the alicorn with a young filly just gawking in amazement at the pony. Putting the object in her mouth on the ground, the purple alicorn mare says outloud to the group, "I-I'm s-sorry... I just... was lookin..."
06[01:46] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles. "It's fine, we were just worried about you."
01[01:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck sees that Giggles had a strange toy of a robotic pony... not... a protectapony model... something more intricate... feminine almost in appearance with a happy smile on it. The toy looks remarkably clean. Giggles looks at the white stallion and asks uneasily, "Y-You're... n-not... mad at me?"
06[01:47] * +Dust_Off lands next to Giggles, "You aren't in trouble, Giggles.  You just scared us when you wandered off.  But you really shouldn't root through someone's trash.  It's unsanitary and some ponies might be offended."
01[01:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles scuffs at the dirt ground, looking slowly relieved by Roy_Calbeck and Dust_Off's words, replying in a meek manner, "O-Okay... just... sometimes I find really cool stuff... but I won't keep that toy if it's wrong. I'm not a bad pony, I promise!" the alicorn puts a hoof on her chest.
06[01:50] * +Roy_Calbeck widens his smile a bit and looks to Dust_Off. "I don't think anypony'll miss that toy if they threw it away, would they?"
06[01:50] * +Dust_Off picks up the toy and looks at it.
01[01:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes the toy is in amazing condition. Intricate in detail, actually made of metal with small rivets in it at the joints, there is red paint on it's sides that read, 'Friendly Frida' on it.
01[01:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Also, none of the townsfolk seem to mind that Dust_Off is holding the toy... nor does do they react to Giggles rooting through the recepticle... though they seem to be transfixed on the beautiful mare herself, especially the filly who slowly approaches her from the back in a timid fashion.
06[01:54] * +Dust_Off looks up at Giggles, "I suppose, we can keep this.  Can I clean it first?  I don't want you to get sick."
06[01:54] * +Sour_Grape "I think we're drawin' attention..."
06[01:55] * +Slag_Heap looks at the kid. "Careful now..."
01[01:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles smiles wide and nods rapidly asking, "Can I keep it then?!" in pure excitement. At Slag_Heap's words, the little filly turns and looks at the gruff cyber stallion with huge yellow eyes... eyes that seem to be nearly as big as her head itself. When looking at him, it causes the tiny equine to let out a small fear-induced squeaking and darts away, galloping down the street but tripping in an diabeetus inducing manner, her small hindlegs flying up comically in the air when she hits the dirt and lettting out a shrilly, squealy little whinny. Quickly scrambling, she gets back up then continues to gallop down the road.
06[01:58] * +Slag_Heap sighs and facehooves.
06[02:02] * +Dust_Off looks after the filly and then at Slag_Heap, "She didn't scream."  She says shrugging.  She nods to Giggles, "You can have it after I clean it."  She wasn't sure if alicorns could get sick...but her inner doctor rebelled against any notion other than traditional wisdom.
06[02:02] * +Sagittis looks over to Slag_Heap. "Hey, stop scaring little girls."
06[02:02] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sagittis. "Shut it." He looks back to Giggles and Dust_Off.
02[02:02] * notFridge ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
01[02:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles prances about in place squealing out, "Yay! Thank you sis!" she then stops and blinks, looking very embarrassed as she blushes and says, "Err.. I mean... Dust Off..."
06[02:05] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks and looks between the alicorn and pegasus.
06[02:05] * +Slag_Heap chuckles, watching the display. "Aint that cute."
06[02:05] * +Roy_Calbeck dryly quips. "I don't see th' resemblance."
06[02:06] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes
06[02:07] * +Dust_Off blinks at Giggles, "Oh, okay..."  She glances at Roy with a confused glance.  "Uh, let's get going."
06[02:08] * +Slag_Heap snorts at Roy_Calbeck with a smile. "It's all in the mane."
06[02:09] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs, keeping his smile wide. "Guess so."
06[02:10] * +Sagittis smirks at Giggle's display. "I do. They have the same plumage."
06[02:11] * +Sour_Grape "Are you calling them both old?"
01[02:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks at the group, with her embarrassment getting stronger, as her lips contort to reflect her increasing blush and emotions. The immature alicorn mare says outloud in a huffy tone, "I didn't mean it..."
06[02:11] * +Roy_Calbeck stops and turns, giving Dusty an exaggerated up-and-down look. "Hm. I do believe you're right, Mister Sagittis. Lovely plumage, too."
06[02:12] * +Roy_Calbeck looks away, coughing into a hoof. "Sorry, Giggles."
06[02:13] * +Dust_Off scowls at the others, "Stop it."  She looks uncomfortable herself.
06[02:14] * +Roy_Calbeck nods and salutes, snapping to attention.
06[02:14] * +Slag_Heap nods and looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Lovely weather we're having."
06[02:14] * +Sour_Grape "Yeah, Dust is more like her mom than sister. ANyway, lets see mr. merc guy."
[02:14] <+Roy_Calbeck> "It certainly is, Sergeant.
06[02:15] * +Sagittis looks to Sour_Grape. "No, I am saying they both have wings."
06[02:15] * +Sour_Grape "What does that have to do with their age? Or plums..."
01[02:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks to the ground awkwardly, using a wing to uncermoniously pick her nose... deep.
06[02:17] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Nothing. It is just a word for feathers.
06[02:18] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "Why'd ponies gotta make up fanciful words when normal ones work..."
06[02:18] * +Slag_Heap looks up. "Wouldn't mind a spot of rain though. Cool things down a little."
01[02:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The cloud cover is... quite sparse... The sun beating down with it's usually oppressive heat. To note, the party is quite thirsty... and hungry.
06[02:19] * +Slag_Heap smacks his lips. "Lets go get some lunch."
06[02:20] * +Dust_Off sighs, "Yes, let's get something to eat and then we'll see about our job."
06[02:20] * +Roy_Calbeck grins. "Sounds like a plan t'me."
06[02:21] * +Sour_Grape "Should we do work first?"
01[02:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles pulls out a huge booger and stares at it before wiping it on the wall of one of the bungalows. A stallion stares in... disbelief at her then looks away and just trots off.
06[02:22] * +Sagittis nods in agreement with Sour_Grape. "Legion or Enclave could attack at any time. Sooner is better."
06[02:23] * +Slag_Heap looks at the kids. "Ever tried to work on an empty stomach?"
06[02:23] * +Sour_Grape "Yes, its when I do my best work."
01[02:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles might have something for the party to snack on... she'll have to dig in first though.
[02:24] <+Roy_Calbeck> (oh hey! Jello!)
06[02:26] * +Slag_Heap blinks at Sour_Grape and scratches his head. "Really? Huh."
06[02:27] * +Sour_Grape nods at Slag_Heap, "Yeah... its called motivations, an' ah find nothin' motivates ya more than starvin' ta death."
06[02:28] * +Roy_Calbeck follows Dust_Off to Sloppy Seconds.
01[02:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles states the obvious, "Hungry is bad. I like eating, can I have food please?"
06[02:29] * +Slag_Heap blinks. "That's... well, whatever floats yer boat." He follows Dust_Off and Roy_Calbeck . "Suit yerself, but I'm getting grub."
06[02:29] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes.  "i need an non-alcoholic drink...Some of us are eating.  The rest of you can try convincing Sure Shot that a couple of foals are mercs."
06[02:30] * +Sour_Grape didn't see Dust_Off actually heading that direction, she also blinks at Dust_Off, "Okay... you're bein' kinda a bitch taday. You should check that out."
06[02:30] * +Roy_Calbeck asides to Dusty warningly, "They probably can, you know."
06[02:31] * +Sour_Grape "I;m allowed ta give my opinion on what ta do without being treated like that, so fuck your food if you're going to act like that."
01[02:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck heads to Sloppy Seconds, as Dust_Off never stated in any IC-- bah screw it. She also goes to Sloppy Seconds, with Giggles following. Inside the larger building, they see it's essentially a giant messhall, with a ramshackle, but sturdy looking staircase leading up to a trap door in the ceiling... which also looks like an addition to the structure. Rows of tables with bench-seats can be seen, two sets on each side, as various ponies sit amongst them eating various pre-war and non-pre war food. There is an orange unicorn mare with a mole on her face and a stylish poofy green mane, hanging down on one side of her makeup coated face in curvy locks. Smiling with bright-red lipstick, the mare takes another stallions order, then takes his caps, giving a winking with her long lashes as a burly looking unicorn stallion... who is bald similar to Slag_Heap, serves his order, not smiling in the least.
06[02:34] * +Sagittis looks down to Sour_Grape. "Want to just do the work ourselves then? You would probably be better negotiating anyway, not being in bitch mode and all."
06[02:34] * +Sour_Grape apparently never gets a reply from Dust_Off as she walks off, or something, she then looks at Sagittis, "You're not being much better you know."
06[02:37] * +Dust_Off totes just walked, not like her player went the bathroom.
06[02:39] * +Sagittis rubs his temple with a hoof. "Sorry. Just not thrilled with being buddy buddy to Enclave, getting chastised for defending my family and getting barked at about following orders when I'm not even getting payed."
[02:41] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Never mind orders, we're just happy if you don't get us all killed picking fights we don't need."  He goes up to the nearest empty table and takes a seat, waiting patiently.
06[02:41] * +Dust_Off flutters into the air and spins around on Sagittis, "You get a split of the earnings like everyone else!"
06[02:41] * +Sour_Grape "You are getting paid, you get paid constantly and consistantly. Second, you butt heads with Dust on purpose all tha time, ah don't care what yer reasons are ya could try ta get along with her. Ain't like she's Slag whose tryin' ta antagonize ya."
06[02:45] * +Sagittis shakes his head. He had assumed that, since everyone else went to the food place while he and Sour didn't, they were having this in private. "I mean getting payed by Dust or Roy. If they want to give me orders, they should become my employers." He sighs. "I wonder some times. I do try, but every time she gets all lovey dovey with the Enclave, it just make me livid." He looks over, noticing...
06[02:45] * +Sagittis ...the teleporting pegasi and unicorn. "Oh, this is going to be fun."
06[02:46] * +Slag_Heap smacks his lips. "Hmmmm... wander what's on the menu." He goes to find out.
06[02:47] * +Dust_Off is mildly shocked that Sour knows the word 'antagonize.'  She vows to watch the tricky filly closer. She does, firmly and definitely, take a seat at a empty and separate table from the others.  Most assuredly this action has occurred, purposely.
01[02:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis and Sour_Grape are still outside. Dust_Off, Roy_Calbeck, and Giggles are inside Sloppy's Seconds. When the pegasus mare sits down at a bench, the unicorn mare raises an eyebrow in confusion, then smiles and says in a sickly sweet tone, "I hate ta break it to ya lass, but we dunnae have any waiters. If yer wantin to have a fill of me food, you'll be needin' ta make yer way up on your own four legs."
06[02:50] * +Sour_Grape "Dust gives orders cause she's in charge, Roy just thinks he's in charge but ya don't gotta listen ta him. But ya should listen ta /somebody/ 'cause someone needs ta be in charge if ya want a plan or anythin' ta work right, ya know? If everyone does whatever they want it becomes a clusterfuck of epic proportions, so just listen to DUst, at least when it's important fuckin'
06[02:50] * +Sour_Grape things like in a fight. And you know what, ponies are /allowed/ ta disagree with ya, that doesn't make'em horrible, and she /wasn't/ being lovey dovey, she blew the MAC off just like we did, she just was tryin' be polite for clestia knows what reason. Ya should give her more credit,"
06[02:51] * +Slag_Heap gets in line for food.
06[02:52] * +Roy_Calbeck flicks an ear, gets up, and joins Slag in line.
06[02:52] * +Dust_Off facetables, "Day Five; Dusty Zero."  She gets up and heads to the counter...order window...slop trough.
06[02:52] * +Slag_Heap thinks cutting in line is naughty.
06[02:53] * +Dust_Off is currently in queue with Slag and Roy, at the back of the line.
01[02:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare turns to Slag_Heap and says, "Well now, yer nearly as large as me paertner here, what canne' get fer ya big fella?" The large unicorn stallion next to the more simply grunts in his stoic expression.
06[02:54] * +Dust_Off looks around for Giggles.
01[02:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles is next to Dust_Off eyeing the unicorn mare, then leans into the pegasus' ear and whispers... loudly, "She talks funny..."
06[02:55] * +Slag_Heap smiles at the mare. "What's today's special?"
06[02:55] * +Roy_Calbeck earflicks again, picking up the accent. "Hmm," he mutters to himself... "Lyrish..."
06[02:57] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head slightly, dismissing the thought. "Not with a brogue like that..."
06[02:57] * +Slag_Heap looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Emerald Islish I think."
01[02:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare smiles and replies, "Special fer ye would be my sticky-icky-cinnae-buns. Curse, i t'aint easy ta get ta 'gredieents necessareh ta make... twenteh caps an' I'll be makin' it fer ya quick as a jiff!"
06[02:58] * +Roy_Calbeck twitches his ears puzzledly. "Isn't that way off the northwest coast?"
06[02:58] * +Sagittis narrows his eyes. "She ordered me to stop defending my mother's people and implied that the massacre was justified. How would you feel if someone told you your loved ones deserved the greatest misfortune of their generation?" He shakes his head. "I don't know. It is just, every time it looks like we are starting to get along, she pulls something like this. I also get needing a commander in...
06[02:58] * +Sagittis ...battle, it is just that she and Roy seem to think they can order us to do anything, like they own every one else. Doesn't sit well with me in a group like this." He groans. "But I'll see what I can do. I just don't really trust them all that much, you know? Roy has proven to have horrendous character judging skills and sub par empathy and I just don't know if Dust will be willing to give...
06[02:58] * +Sagittis ...the orders that need to be given if we fight Enclave."
06[02:59] * +Slag_Heap nods at Roy_Calbeck. "Last time I checked a map, yeah." He looks at the mare. "Any savoury meals? Also, do you happen to come from the Emerald Isles?"
06[03:01] * +Dust_Off smiles at Giggles and talks quietly, "It's a dialect.  She comes from another place.  Ponies talk differently there.  It's matter of pride and uniqueness."
06[03:01] * +Sour_Grape "You brought up the whole griffin thing, not her, and ah don't really got a people or nothing, but really if there's anyponies you should trust its them. Sometimes they make bad choices, but they go outta their way ta help folk, so if that ain't trustful ah don't know what is. And yeah, Roy and Dust need'ta work on that, if ya ask me, that orderin' for no reason. Its just
06[03:01] * +Sour_Grape silly sometimes, but you don't really make it easy when you stubbornly are against fuckin' everythin'"
01[03:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare nods with a giggle speaking, "Takin a shine ta me' talkin do ye'? Aye, me family been makin' it's way from ta homeland over four years, bless Celestia. An fer hearty meals, I've got a good choice of gecko steaks an' kaybabs. Iff'n dat don't fitcher fancy, I also have a nice dog stew ye' ken sink yer teeth inna."
06[03:05] * +Slag_Heap hmmms. "I'll have the gecko steak. Got any beers back there?" He smiles. "Four years, huh? Must've been hard as hell."
06[03:07] * +Sagittis snorts. "Roy is an utter dip shit. I'll give Dust the benefit of the doubt though. I still don't think she would let us wipe out one of their bases, medical camps or anything, even if it would do wonders for our side." He sighs. "But we will see."
01[03:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giving a nod the unicorn mare replies, "It'll be seven caps fer yer steak, an' Thirteen fer ta beer." smiling, upon which the unicorn stallion whips out with his magic a plate of hot steamy gecko steak and a beer on the counter, eyeing Slag_Heap stoically.
06[03:08] * +Sour_Grape "I think she'd be against killin' any medic for any side, not just enclave. Just her style. I'd have no problem with it though."
06[03:09] * +Slag_Heap smiles and hoofs over 20 caps. "Thanks a lot." He takes his plate and goes to a free table.
01[03:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks at Dust_Off with fascination asking in her loud whisper, "Ooohh! How come you don't have a dialect?"
06[03:11] * +Dust_Off snickers, "I had one, but I worked VERY hard not use it.  Until I didn't anymore."
01[03:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare tilts her head in a curtsy... however a four-legged creature can, and says in a pleasant tone, "Thank ye dearie." then places the caps under the counter, turning to Roy_Calbeck and greeting him making a small 'o' face in her smile as she goes, "Oooh! Now ain'tcha a sight fer sore eyes! What ken Sloppeh get fer ya handsome? Besides maybeh some sweet cherreh pie?" she then giggles and winks to the buck. The stallion next to her just... creepily maintains his same expression.
06[03:12] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Alas, the Enclave don't tend to have that qualm. They murder children. My rule, if they are in uniform, they are fair game. Anyway, shall we try to get some work done?"
01[03:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles tilts her head to Dust_Off then asks slightly louder in excitement, "Ooh! Can you do it again?! I wanna hear it!"
06[03:14] * +Dust_Off looks around and shushes, "Calm down, please.  Do you really want to hear it?"
06[03:14] * +Roy_Calbeck raises his eyebrows. "Ma'am, if you've really got some cherry pie, I'd be much obliged. Otherwise, anythin' you got that's got meat, potatoes, salt an' pepper would be fantastic. Or a reasonable facsimile if ya don't."
06[03:15] * +Sour_Grape nods at Sagittis, "Your rule ain't her rules, so ya can't get mad at her 'cause she ain't ya. And I was gunna wait fer tha others, because I feel naked without my guns."
06[03:17] * +Sagittis sighs. "I know what you mean. I managed to keep my knife and I don't think they knew half my potions were more lethal than bullets, so I'm not too far in the dumps. You want to hold some poison?" He looks around. "As for her rule verses mine, I realze that. My worry, is that we will lose more good ponies so we can be nicer to the evil ones her way."
01[03:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles goes apologetic for a brief second saying, "Sorry." then nods excitedly, whispering back to her original volume, "Yes please!" The unicorn mare giggles half-liddedly to Roy_Calbeck replying, "I cannae say it's cherry, but it's most assuredlee pie." sticking her tongue out with another wink she replies, "I got potatoes, but no salt 'r pepper ta spare. As fer meat, I ken fill ya up wit some gecko steak, kaybabs, 'r some tasteh dog stew."
06[03:18] * +Sour_Grape shakes her head, "Ah don't trust mahself with shit I don't understand. I'd killmyself er somethin' with that shiet." She nods at Sagi, "Maybe, but I ain't like a moral... fucking, judgemental person or anything, so fuck if I know."
06[03:19] * +Roy_Calbeck returns the wink with a smile, but takes it no further. "Dog stew it'll be, ma'am."
06[03:19] * +Sagittis "Morality has nothing to do with it. Simple numbers. More of them and less of us is bad." He sighs. "Anyway, think they will be less... difficult, after they eat?"
06[03:20] * +Dust_Off looks around, "Wayell, Giggles, darlin'.  This is how mah daddy an' momma spoke when I jus' a lil'filly."
06[03:21] * +Roy_Calbeck perks his ears up, looks around, and stares at Dust_Off.
06[03:21] * +Sour_Grape "Ah hope so. Dusty at least, she's bein' a bitch'ta day."
01[03:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare smiles wide and replies to Roy_Calbeck, "Curse! Now ken I be gettin ya anything ta wet yer whistle dearie? Bein' out in ta heat does make a poneh mighty parched." Giggles blinks and goes, "Oooh! That's funny too! Dialects are funny! What kind of dialect is Sour's? She says a lot of bad words!"
06[03:22] * +Roy_Calbeck snaps his head back around. "What? Oh yeah, thanks, um... a Sunrise Sarsaparilla, if ya got it. I'll take two if ya do."
01[03:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles immediately forgets Dust_Off and looks right at the white stallion ordering, asking outloud, "Sunrise Sarsparilla?" the unicorn mare nods and replies to Roy_Calbeck, "Six caps fer ye' stew an' eight a piece fer ye' drenks." The unicorn stallion serves up Roy's order.
06[03:25] * +Slag_Heap blinks and looks over at Roy_Calbeck, then facehooves. "Rooooooooy..." he has only managed to start his steak.
06[03:25] * +Sagittis smirks. "No arguments here."
06[03:25] * +Dust_Off whinces a little and half shrugs, "Hers...it's a tribal dialect...of sorts.   Cursing is simply like adjectives to you or me."  She looks up and around at Sloppy and then Giggles, "Woah!  Giggles, we were told you have a bad reaction to Sarsaparilla. "
06[03:27] * +Roy_Calbeck places a single golden doubloon on the counter. "Keep th' change."
01[03:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles stares at Roy_Calbeck then looks at Dust_Off in a confused manner, but... anxiously... speaking out with big eyes, "Huh? No! I just really like Sarsparilla! Or Sparkle cola! Can I have some?! Can I? Pleeeease?!" her... tone gets slightly louder.
06[03:28] * +Dust_Off looks her right in the eyes, "What happened when you had cola?"
06[03:29] * +Sour_Grape "Maybe she was hungry, sometimes ponies'er hungry when they're grumpy." She sighs and kicks a rock, "Dunno why she shut me down like that, when all I did is ask if we should get our work first."
06[03:29] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to give Slag a puzzled look. "What?"
01[03:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare gasps loudly at the doubloon staring at it with growing teal eyes, "As the divine sistehs is my witness! Is this.... where would ye even--..?!" stopping herself and smiling wide, she nods another curtsy to Roy_Calbeck saying happily, "Thank ye' dearie, do come back again." The unicorn stallion just slides his order to the blonde mane stallion. Giggles blinks finally to Dust_Off replying, "I drank it! Duh!"
06[03:30] * +Slag_Heap "We were told not to have any of that stuff near her!"
06[03:30] * +Roy_Calbeck grins at the unicorn mare's surprise. "There's more in th' world, they say, than a pony can dream of..." He takes his food and drink to his table.
06[03:31] * +Sagittis gives Sour_Grape a little pat on the back. "Yeah. She should not have snapped at you like that."
06[03:31] * +Slag_Heap is sitting at a table and looks across it at Roy_Calbeck. "Don't you remember what we were told about her and cola?"
06[03:33] * +Sour_Grape "Thats what ah said! Dunno how they gunna pay for their food when I have the caps either, but oh well."
06[03:33] * +Dust_Off nods, "And then...?"
01[03:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks over at Slag_Heap and goes, "Whaaaat? They're dumb butts! I just like drinking sarsparilla or sparkle cola! Gawsh!" The unicorn mare serving Roy_Calbeck looks back to him quickly replying, "I ken dream pretteh big, fellah." giving the buck a wink, then turning to Dust_Off speaking to her, "Iff'n ye' be ready, lassie, I'll be takin' ye' ordeh." Giggles tilts her head to Dust_Off, looking like she's trying to think back hard and says, "Uhh... I dunno... then stuff got like... super slow to me... it was weird... uhh... I think I accidently hurt old pony Gradient... or one of his robots... but it was a total accident! I promise!"
06[03:35] * +Roy_Calbeck looks up at Slag. "That's she's not s'pose'ta have any. So?"
06[03:36] * +Roy_Calbeck tucks into his stew, popping the cap on his first bottle and washing the mutt-muck down.
06[03:36] * +Sagittis shrugs. "I'll bet they each have some pocket change." He snickers a bit. "Or are going to pay it back by washing dishes."
06[03:37] * +Sour_Grape giggles at the though of them doing dishes
06[03:38] * +Sagittis snorts. "Oh, and they just need to keep doing more and more because Bubbles is using them as throwing disks."
01[03:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The stew even has potatoes! Fancy that.
06[03:38] * +Dust_Off nods, "Either the caffeine or sugar makes you hyper....okay, Giggles.  Here's the deal.  I said i was going to help.  I will help you so you can drink colas without hurting anyone.   Deal?"
06[03:40] * +Sour_Grape giggles and nods, "She'd throw one and it'd hit Slag in his bald head so he'd have little peices of plate stickin' out."
06[03:40] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes. "She's a child. They take what they want. Know what else she is? Bloody powerful." He takes a bite from his stake and murrs. "Das goooood..."
01[03:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles scrunches her face and says, "I don't like hurting ponies anyway! Gawsh, what a weird thing to say! But okay, deal!" The unicorn mare eyes Dust_Off strangely, then whistles at the alicorn saying, "Now that is somethin ye' dun be seein' ev'ryday!"
06[03:41] * +Sagittis grins. "I like the way you think."
06[03:43] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "If even th' mention of soda's gonna set her off, we shouldn't bring her anywhere near a place y'can buy food. Anypony might mention it."
06[03:43] * +Slag_Heap scratches his head. What an odd itch...
06[03:43] * +Sour_Grape continues to giggle, "And then the blood would run down his face an' get'inta his eyes."
06[03:43] * +Slag_Heap scratches his chin. "I'm surprised Dust_Off didn't think of that..."
06[03:43] * +Dust_Off glances at Sloppy, "What?"
06[03:44] * +Roy_Calbeck nods and goes back to his food. "That's why I figgered it wasn't a problem... 'cause if she doesn't think it's an issue, why should I?"
01[03:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles also turns to look at the unicorn mare, as the mare replies to Dust_Off, "Aint' often, ye' see ta likeness of one o' ta Princesses! A roight lookeh at that! As pretteh as yourself lassie, now is there anytheng I ken be gettin ye'?" Giggles smiles and says, "I'm pretty!"
06[03:47] * +Sagittis snerks. "Then it would get into his motors and he would be jerking all around.. 'ERROR! ERROR!'"
06[03:48] * +Sour_Grape snorts and laughs, "Fuck, that'd be hilarious."
06[03:50] * +Roy_Calbeck goes through the stew and both bottles of soda in short order, saddlebagging the caps.
06[03:50] * +Dust_Off looks at Giggles, "Do you eat meat?"
01[03:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks back to Dust_Off and shrugs, "I dunno."
06[03:55] * +Dust_Off blinks, "What do you eat?"
01[03:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles looks up in her head in thought then says outloud with a huge smile, "Hay fries!"
01[03:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare blinks and looks at the stallion who just grunts, maintaining the exact same facial expression.
06[03:59] * +Dust_Off looks at Sloppy, "Can we have two orders of kay...kabobs?"
01[04:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare smiles and nods replying, "Ten caps a piece! Anytheng ta drenk wid em?" Giggles nods and shouts outloud, "SUNRISE SARSPARILLA!" arching her back and flaring her wings out, causign the mare to jerk wide-eyed with flat ears, as well as those within the establishment to react in surprise as well. The unicorn stallion doesn't even flinch... he just grunts again. Sagittis and Sour_Grape could hear the shouting.
06[04:03] * +Roy_Calbeck pins his ears back, spitting out some of his soda.
06[04:03] * +Sagittis flops his ears down. "Well then..."
06[04:03] * +Slag_Heap just stops chewing and closes hsi eyes, then goes back to chewing when it dies down.
06[04:04] * +Dust_Off steps between Giggles and the counter, "No, not right now."  She looks at Sloppy, "We'll have water."
06[04:05] * +Sour_Grape "Someone's excitable."
01[04:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Giggles' smile fades as she just stares at Dust_Off... like as if she'd been stabbed in the back, her mouth hanging open.
01[04:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 And thus we come to another close on another day within the Mareizona Wasteland. Inside Mercy, when will this supposed Legion or M.A.C. attack begin? Was Captain Divebomb truthful in her words to establish a bloodless coup d'etat? What will Giggles do next? Where /is/ Carmane San Deeraigo?! Find out the answers to this question and /more!/ in the upcoming installments of Star Group, Fallout Equestria!
