FO:ESAND 1.

01[00:58] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Long before Littlepip ever cleared up Equestria a gang of shipwrights being lead by a charismatic ghoul tag-team calling themselves “The Ocean brothers” set about refurbishing the manehattan-bay ships and re-establish connection with the outer world. Fueled by an insatiable thirst for adventure they have started a genuine travelling agency and with some help from friendship city they offer anyone a chance at seeing the sun once more - for a price.
01[00:58] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 The ship they have is called “The princess,” is their largest ship. A luxurious metal cruiser with four large mechanical paddle wheels (Two on each side) and an engine that doesn’t seem to run on coal, the ship coasts at a slow but steady pace. “Captain Smiles” directs the course of the ship. He is a large jovial earth pony stallion often seen wearing a large blue and golden uniform often seen worn by Equestrian naval officers of old. He is often seen smoking a pipe somewhere on deck while staring out at the sea.
01[00:58] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 The boat itself has many luxuries yet known. The deck of the ship is staffed by some of the crew, constantly on patrol, with some more crew manning heavy machine-gun turrets mounted at each corner of the ship. There is a rather comfortable cantina serving food every sixth hour or so, and offering snacks at the odd hours. The cargo room itself is with passenger quarters that are fit for several solo passengers, some are designed to be traveled between aptly dubbed “family” quarters.
01[01:00] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Any further exploration would reveal more regal rooms meant for VIPguests, and attempts to view the engine is met with a guarded look and a locked door. The talk of the ship seems to be centered around how they have so few passengers this time around, but the crew seems optimistic and hard working at all times.
01[01:01] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Our passengers have barely gotten comfortable with the bed before the whistle blows and the engines begin rumbling underneath with metallic clangs and vibrant humming. You can hear the sea being brushed aside and the boat begins to sag with the waves. Your cabins are individual small rooms with their own doors leading into a small hallway. Inside is the bare minimum of bedding for two. One on each side, a closet and a lamp for light as well as a small bathroom with sink and an empty medical box for storing toothbrushes and whatnot.
06[01:07] * Matuimani didn't exactly found the room to be pleasing to a mare who was used to sleeping outside, kleptophobia perhaps? Instead of spending much time in her room did she leave her belongings in there and set out towards the deck of the ship, wanting to smell what it was like out in the sea.
06[01:07] * Grim has broken his of asking people if they've seen some guy on a wanted poster to limp his way through the ship and bang on Belle_Curve's door, "Belle, it's do'in that thing again."
06[01:09] * More_Gun stared at the empty medical box in his room. "What need have I, for dental hygienic supplies? Yar, that be a good shanty title."
01[01:09] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Grim's questioning of the crew leads to helpful shrugs and smiles, while they inform him that the captain is busy, but he has the passenger ledger, and a good memory. "If anyone knows of this Steel, then it will be him."
06[01:10] * ~Belle_Curve answers the door without a word!  The dark blue mare's face is almost obscured by the large swoosh of pink mane that nearly covers her eyes.  It seems the griffon interrupted her unpacking, seeing as she's naked except for a pistol in a rig across her chest.  "What 'thing', Grim?" she calmly replies, "You do a lot of 'things'."
06[01:10] * Mayhem stands at the railing. "Cows are not made for boats...HUUURRRRGH!"
01[01:11] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Matumani gets on deck in time to see a large minotaur hurling vomit into the sea.
01[01:11] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 <Hear>
[01:12] <~Belle_Curve> "You also have a lot of things that do things," she says with a soft accent, "So what or which is it?"
[01:12] <Grim> "Ah can't move mah friging shoulder." he demonstrates and his cybernetics make a pitiful whiring noise, "rest of the arm moves fine but ah can't git mah shoulder to rotate an its piss'in me off."
06[01:13] * Matuimani takes notice of Mayhem hurling into the sea. Despite having never seen a minotour in her life the young mare rushed over to her. "Are you ok?" She speaks in a heavily accented Equestrian. She had on her an MoP cloak that she found from her journey, a bo staff on her back, and her eyes were rather a rather cloudy white.
06[01:13] * More_Gun 's ears perked at the sound of some large, bovine landlubber horking on the deck. He galloped out the door and onto the deck to chastize them.
[01:13] <Matuimani> (Redact "seen the minitaur" for "unaware that she was a minotaur".)
06[01:14] * ~Belle_Curve watches ponies rush by them, casually commenting as Mayhem get's sick over side, "Hm.  Seems somepony's already taken ill....  Well let me take a look at it.  Did you keep it oiled like I told you to?"
[01:14] <Mayhem> "...no...no I'm...I'M NOTEXCUSEMUUUUURGGHHH!"
06[01:16] * Matuimani gave a cute little eep as she hears Mayhem vomiting once more. "Is there anything I can do to help? I can see if there's any medicine for your stomach."
06[01:16] * ~Belle_Curve looks past Grim, concerned by the very unpleasant sounds down the deck.
[01:17] <More_Gun> "Argh! Ahoy there landlubber!" Cap'n More Gun said, as he sauntered over to the bovine. "Seems ya are without your sea-legs are ya? Ha ha. Probably cuz you only have two of them!" The ghoul cackled loudly.
[01:17] <Grim> "Yeah, Ah have." her ruffels his wings indinately, his southern accent making him slur some of his words a little to much. "ya said the humidity an sea salt did somethin ta it didn't cha?"
01[01:17] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Three members of the crew, easily identified by their uniforms, and clearly on break are seen in the distance as they point in Mayhems direction while laughing.
[01:17] <Grim> *indignantly
06[01:18] * ~Belle_Curve nods, "Corrosion's always a possibility.  Salt and water don't really get along."
06[01:18] * More_Gun laughs even harder, at the inclusion of the crew members.
06[01:19] * Mayhem falls back and sits down against the wall. "I think...I think it's all out now..." She hears the sailors laughing and roars: "SHUT YER GOBS OVER THERE, UNLESS YE WANT ME 'OTHER LEGS' IN 'EM!"
06[01:19] * Matuimani frowns at where she heard More_Gun and other ponies beginning to laugh at the minotaur. "That's not nice sir. We should probably get her some medicine to help her feel better. Where's the vessal's medicine room?" The last sentence felt oddly formed, mostly due to Equestrian being a second language to Matui.
[01:20] <Grim> Grim, blinks, looking a bit confused, "right, well... mind see'in what wrong so we can check out whats goin on deck side?"
[01:21] <~Belle_Curve> *Metal and water
06[01:21] * Matuimani then looks back at Mayham. "Please miss, you shouldn't give threats of punishment towards them."
06[01:21] * ~Belle_Curve shrugs, leaning over to pop the top panneling of his arm to look inside.
[01:22] <Grim> Grim stands as still as he can, looking very grumpy.
01[01:22] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 The trio of crew members decide to take their break elsewhere as Mayhem speaks up, but one of them steps forward. It's a yellow coated young colt with an arrowhead tattoo on his forehead. "Mighty sorry for the laugh at your expense miss, we do have something for your sick in the cantina if you're not feeling well."
06[01:24] * Matuimani gives a smile at the young colt. "Thank you for your apology." She looks back to the minotaur. "We should go to this catina the young colt speaks of. Perhaps your stomach would feel much better then?"
06[01:25] * More_Gun ears perk at the sound of food and, by his association anyway, it's sweet mistress: alcohol
06[01:25] * Mayhem slowly gets up. "Thanks fer yer caring miss, but I think I'm better now. And if ye got somethin' I'll gladly take it...as long as it's nothing ta eat..." She puts a hand on her stomach.
06[01:25] * ~Belle_Curve snorts, Grim feeling a brief tug at his leg then the panel pops back on into place.
06[01:26] * ~Belle_Curve spits a feather out, ruffling her own slightly in irritation, "There, try it now?"
[01:27] <More_Gun> "I'll be having whatever she isn't, sailors. Kindly lead us to the cantina."
[01:27] <Grim> Grim rolls his shoulder then rotates it in a very disturbing 180, "yea, that did it."
01[01:27] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 "That depends. We have one that goes up your ass, or one you have to stick behind the ear, but that one you have to shave a bit to use." The yellow colt points her in the direction of the cantina. "It's over there. Can't miss it."
06[01:28] * Matuimani gives a happy nod to the minotaur. "It's good that I can help. My name is Matuimani, though Matui is much shorter to speak. What is your's pony who walks on two legs? And is it safe for you to do that?"
06[01:28] * ~Belle_Curve grunts.  "Good.  How did you even get feathers /in/ there?"
[01:30] <Grim> Grim shrugs, "now come on, lets go see what all tha noise is about."
01[01:30] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Matumani hears a skittering in her head, as a voice speaks up. "That two legged pony might be useful, we should learn her name, and do what we can to befriend her."
06[01:32] * More_Gun bolts for the cantina, ready to sniff out booze.
06[01:32] * ~Belle_Curve snorts, "I'd say we've missed it."
01[01:32] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 The young colt quietly nods towards More_Gun and lets him by as he runs for the cantina. "My name is Ishmael."
06[01:33] * Grim shrugs and starts walking, "ya'll need to stretch yer legs an wings anyway, come on."
[01:33] <More_Gun> "Yar, I don't likely care!" He calls back.
[01:33] <Mayhem> "Eh...alright then. And I'm no pony miss. I hail from the Kretian Mountains. I am a proud daughter of the minotaurs!"
[01:33] <~Belle_Curve> "I didn't say I wasn't coming," she trots out into the sun, pulling the door shut with her wing.
06[01:35] * Matuimani blinked a bit when she heard her friend speaking to her, and just smiles. She was already going to befriend Mayhem anyway. "Oh, my apologies Proud Daughter of the Minotaurs. I have never seen your race before. I am sorry for confusing you as a pony. Would you like to eat together?"
01[01:35] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 More_Gun finds The cantina. It is a pale brown place scented with a blend of food, smoke, an alcohol with plenty of vacant rows of benches for crew and passengers. A ruined and cracked painting lingers on the wall, Swaying with the waves or the rythm of the music. In one end theres a dancefloor and a scene fit for parties, and in the other a kitchen manned by two ponies. An elderly mare and a rather youthful stallion just barely out of colthood. At the counter sits an aged mare ordering around two younger crew as they prepare food for sailors and passengers both. She eyes More_Gun and gives an involuntary shudder as his ghoul apperance becomes apparent to her.
06[01:36] * Mayhem shrugs. "If I can eat anything, sure. Ladies first." She makes a gesture for her to go first.
06[01:37] * Matuimani gives a happy nod. "No, you first please, my eyes do not see well I'm afraid. It would be helpful if you could lead me to this catina?"
06[01:38] * Mayhem really looks at her eyes for the first time. Her gaze has been elsewhere until now. "Huh? Oh! I'm sorry! Of course, this way."
06[01:39] * More_Gun returned a grin to the mare, and trotted over to the crew members she was ordering around. "YOU, fine sailor! Bring me the strongest drink yee have." He said, before sitting a table from the aged mare.
06[01:39] * Matuimani follows Mayhem, a cute smile on her face that would just melt the hearts of anyone close by.
06[01:40] * Grim slowly strolls up to the deck and looks around, his brown hat and duster sheilding him from the sun, his steps are very distict as he aproaches the canteena, his metal claw scuffing the deck. He smiles a bit at the sight of the trio, "This looks like ah set up fer ah bad joke."
06[01:41] * ~Belle_Curve barely smiles, "The food or the fact a minotaur, a ghoul, and a zebra are walking into a bar?"
[01:43] <Grim> "can't it be both?"
06[01:43] * Matuimani appears to scrunch her noose a bit at the smell of alcohol and smoke. "I do not like these smells." She says to Mayhem with a little frown.
[01:43] <~Belle_Curve> "I've heard that one before, I don't think they'd appreciate the ending," she snorts, fluttering a wing again.
02[01:43] * More_Gun (ldopkvxrjby@Pony-jvecji.gnvlsc.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Connection closed)
[01:44] <Grim> "and now the cyborg and pegasus are joining..." he says with a chuckle as he follows Belle
01[01:44] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 The old mare scowls at More_Gun. "Those are my layabouts yer orderin about. If'n yer wanting booze. Here have some of this." She says as she pulls an aged apple cider bottle out of her skirt.
06[01:44] * Mayhem staggers to a nearby table and flops down on the ground next to it. Even then, the table is way to low for her.
01[01:46] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Mayhem and Matumani sit down as the aged ghoul scowls at the aged mare. "Where's the rum? I said booze not piss!"
06[01:46] * Grim chuckles, "sea sickness ma'am?" he looks over Matuimani with his good eye and smiles a bit.
06[01:46] * Matuimani follows Mayhem to the table and takes a seat. "Is there anypony who is in charge of distributing food here?" She calls out, a bit lost in the sea of voices.
06[01:47] * Mayhem waves a hand in front of Matuimani's face, just to test.
06[01:48] * Matuimani doesn't take notice of Mayhem waving her hand in front of her.
06[01:48] * ~Belle_Curve let's Grim do the talking once they're actually in the room, keeping a weather eye on the assembled creatures.
01[01:48] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 "It be all we have for guests." She snorts in reply as she heads over towards Mayhem. "Aye I smell it clear as day. Somepony caught with the seasickness."
06[01:49] * Mayhem scrunches her nose, but nods.
01[01:49] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 "No need to feel ashamed. Now do you want the one that goes up the arsehole? It works faster, and we have so many of them left because everypony grows queer at the thought."
[01:50] <Grim> "Shame." he strolls towards the bar tender and pulls out the wanted poster her carries around, "y'all seen this bird?" he holds it up for her.
06[01:50] * Matuimani turns over to where she heard the old mare. "Indeed. Thank you for helping my friend. Is there anything here to eat?"
01[01:51] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 "Oh. Aye, saw him some time ago." The aged mare nods to Grim. "You be late for trekking after the likes of him. My husband, or Captain Smiles as he likes to call himself nowadays would know more."
06[01:52] * Grim nods, "ya over hear anything about where he was headed?"
01[01:52] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 "We have vegetable soup on menu today." The aged mare replies to Matumani. "I take it yer all hungry?"
06[01:53] * ~Belle_Curve takes a seat at the table next to Matuimani and Mayhem, crossing legs before herself as the pegasus relaxes.
[01:53] <Mayhem> "I'll just take the normal one. No need ta hurry anymore."
06[01:53] * Matuimani gives a happy nod to the mare. "Yes, that would be quite good. And any drink that is not alcoholic would be nice for me."
01[01:55] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 "What kind of place is this serving Piss and swill. Where's the meat? Also give me some more of this." The aged ghoul says to the air as the old mare and her servers bring out a large pot of soup to the table and several plates with spoons and glasses.
06[01:56] * Matuimani turns over to the ghoul and turns back to the aged mare. "He seems to be quite agitated. Do you plan on doing anything for him?"
06[01:57] * Grim drums his metal talons on the floor, produceing a very loud, mechanical, and irritating noise as he wait for an answer.
01[01:58] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 A pitcher of milk with the top tightly sealed is brought up, and the old mare nods to Matumani. "Oh aye, we do have something for him."
06[01:59] * ~Belle_Curve pipes up, her voice is a pleasant alto with an accent not nearly as thick as Matuimani's.  "Hey!  Grim!  She said the Captain would know, the same as everypony /else/ told you!  See if they have any tea and come sit down."
[01:59] <Matuimani> The zebra mare's ears perk up when she heard Grim drumming his metal talons onto the floor, a noise that was very unnatural to her, leaving a puzzled look on her face as she tried to figure out what it could be.
01[03:00] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 "Oh aye, My husband craves tea and biscuits, and he'll come around for a bite to eat soon. You'll have your answers then, and the tea aswell." She nods in reply to Belle_Curve.
06[03:01] * ~Belle_Curve notices the zebra's response.  She smiles gratefully to the old mare, "Thank you ma'am."
06[03:01] * ~Belle_Curve says to Matuimani after a moment, "Griffon claws on metal decking.  Is the sound."
06[03:02] * Matuimani turns over to Belle_Curve. "His claws do not sound like normal claws to my ears. Is he alright?"
06[03:03] * Grim sighs and rolls the piece of paper back up, produceing yet more weird mechanical sounds that would probably be unfamilier to Matuimani if she had never had an encounter with a robot or power armor out in the wasteland. He slowly meanders over to Belle's table and sits, "that is a complicated quesion."
06[03:03] * ~Belle_Curve grins, probably just a blur of white on a dark muzzle, "Physically?  No, I suppose not."
01[03:04] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 the skittering in Matuimani's head is replaced by a silence, as a feminine voice of knowledge speaks to her. "It appears we have an amputated individual before us. No doubt there is a story here. Let's seduce him."
[03:04] <Grim> "Wasn't it you that lectured me about how miss'in limbs wasn't /healthy/?"
06[03:06] * Matuimani gave a puzzled look at both Grim and Belle_Curve. "I do not mean to be rude, it's just that is sounds . . . unnatrual to me. Like it wasn't supposed to be there bef-" she then pauses, and blushes for a moment shaking her head. "No no no, I shouldn't do that!"
01[03:06] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 More_Gun drinks more cider, and gets a set of aged biscuits to go with it. He grins openly at Mayhem while audible crunching ripples through the cantina.
01[03:08] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 The voice in Matuimani's head laughs with a gentle sooting tone. "You prude. I told you Equestria would take away all the fun. We're going home my dear. Loosen up."
06[03:08] * ~Belle_Curve raises an eyebrow as she starts talking to herself, "It is unnatural, Grim lost several of them in an accident and had them replaced with cybernetics."
06[03:10] * Matuimani blushes a bit more in embracement as she shakes her head, deciding to ignore her friends advice for now. She speaks to Belle_Curve in confusion. "Cybernetics?"
[03:11] <Grim> "I got robot parts." states Grim like thats toatally normal thing.
[03:12] <~Belle_Curve> "Metal and plastic," she says, sensing a bumpkin
01[03:14] <%Damhoof|GM> 4 Mayhem gets handed a set of rocket shaped pills in a small plastic bag, an aged razor, and an insulated sticker with a very accurate description of where to put behind the ear. The aged mare nods to mayhem and smiles. "Now the sea will get rougher on ahead, so take one of these up the bum every morning, and that sticker is for now, do hand the razor back when you're done."
06[03:15] * Matuimani gives an 'Oh' to Belle_Curve. "Ah, I did not know that there were ways to replace lost limbs with material?"
06[03:15] * Mayhem looks at the bag in confusion. "Uh...thanks?"
03[03:16] * Damhoof|GM is now known as damhoof|afk
06[03:17] * Grim looks /Extremely/ uncomfortable about being reminded of the rather painful process...
03[03:36] * f1r3 (f1r3w4rr10r@Pony-d6da26.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined #FoESand
02[03:39] * Mayhem (f1r3w4rr10r@Pony-lmeoc0.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
03[03:42] * damhoof|afk is now known as damhoof|gm
03[03:45] * f1r3 is now known as Mayhem
06[03:45] * ~Belle_Curve contrastingly, looks a little more enthused, "Several ways!  The simplest is to replicate the natural form of the body with mechanics."
06[03:47] * Mayhem scrunches up her muzzles again. "Excuse me, I have to go somewhere private..." She gets up and leaves.
06[03:47] * ~Belle_Curve mmfs, waving to the unfortunate minotaur.
01[03:47] <%damhoof|gm> 4 the sultry mare inside Matuimani's head speaks in a sultry manner. "Your friend might need help with those seasick things that go up the ass. We should offer some."
06[03:48] * Matuimani had a little curiosity on her face as she looked at Belle_Curve. "Really? I did not know of that. But . . . is it safe? I'm not so sure of putting unnatural objects attached to your body." She then blushed again when she heard her companion giving her more naughty thoughts.
01[03:50] <%damhoof|gm> 4 Grims thoughts get distracted as a large earth pony enters the cantina. He carries himself proudly, wearing a spotless blue uniform and matching cap with equestria's sun emblemed on his chest and cap.
06[03:52] * Grim stands and aproaches him, "Captain Smiles ah presume."
01[03:53] <%damhoof|gm> 4 rolling thunder interrupts Matuimani's trail of thought. "We should at least be compassionate and offer what help we can. Such is the way you have chosen is it not?"
06[03:53] * ~Belle_Curve keeps a close watch on Grim but still smiles at the zebra, "It's nothing really to be concerned about, and certainly better then losing the use of them."
06[03:56] * Matuimani appeared a bit relaxed when the the more mature spirit of her friends spoke to her. She gave a nod to Belle_Curve. She then looks away. "Though, she did want her privacy, and I'm afraid of insulting her if I she believes that I am intruding her space that she wants."
[03:57] <~Belle_Curve> "The minotaur?" Belle asks, figuring Matuimani is talking to her, "Ah, well, suppositories tend to be a rather private manner."
01[03:57] <%damhoof|gm> 4 The old mare arrives to greet the earth pony and a tray of hot water alongside a set of prewar herbal tea pouches and more biscuits get offered. She points him towards Grim and Belle_Curve and he nods to the pegasus mare before adressing Grim. "Aye. Welcome on board The princess. I hope you have found accomodations to your liking. I was entertaining another guest at the more luxurious quarters."
01[03:58] <%damhoof|gm> 4 The rolling thunder continues inside Matuimani's head it rolls in a joyous bouncing way. "Privacy and shamanism? But you may be right. Some times we should know not to intrude."
06[03:59] * Matuimani blinks, and looks to Belle, recalling that she couldn't hear her spirit friends. "Oh, yes. I was thinking of assisting her in administrating her medicine, but I was worried about invading her privacy."
[03:59] <Grim> "Ah have." replies Grim as he slowly takes out the wanted poster and shows it to the captain, "have you seen this bird by any chance?"
06[03:59] * ~Belle_Curve chuckles, "I suppose that depends on the lady's own feelings."
01[04:02] <%damhoof|gm> 4 "Aye. I've seen him alright. He left quite the impression, and not in a good way." The captain seats himself across Grim and pulls out his pipe. The tray of hot water and tea gets put on the table. "He won some honors down in the arena at Constantinomare and took his money. Some say he left for the collosseum in Roam, but never heard hide nor mane from him since then. He had that look that said he would kill a stallion for getting to comfortable round him. If you know what I mean."
[04:03] <Grim> "Yeah, that sounds like Vic..."
06[04:06] * Matuimani gives a nod to Belle_Curve. "Ah, how rude of me, my name is Matuimani, but Matui is shorter." She trots over to Belle's table and sit's next to her. "You sound to know a lot about metal limbs. I'm interested in learning if it means helping others."
06[04:07] * Grim slowly gets up, "thank ya kindly for yer time."
01[04:07] <%damhoof|gm> 4 "The Crone would know more. If you could get an audience with her." He mentions casually as he pulls hot tea into a private cup with several foreign symbols made out of wood. "You'd have to try the Hagia Megalen. It's in the center of constantinomare, A giant egg with circular roof. The crone sits there, taking visitors, teaching her prospect apprentice shaman, and doing her shaman stuff.
01[04:07] <%damhoof|gm> Some claim she's a seer, but I think she just likes to be informed. It's either that or the Foreign affairs guild. They deal with overseas bounties."
06[04:08] * ~Belle_Curve scoots over to make room!  "Frankly it's more of a mechanical art, though you need a surgeon to actually fit them," she says in friendly manner, "The name's Belle Curve, or Dr. Curve if you're given to titles.  The catbird is Grim.  Just Grim."
06[04:08] * Grim exhails, "is that her given title?"
06[04:10] * Matuimani seems to bright up to Belle_Curve. "Ah, you're a medicine mare like me!" She gives a warm smile. "It would be nice if you could teach me what I do not know. I was still an apprentice back in my tribe before I left on my journey."
06[04:11] * ~Belle_Curve steeps her tea, eying the cup seriously and nods, "Frankly my dear, I'm more of a surgeon then a medicine mare.  I'd be happy to try though~"
06[04:12] * Matuimani gave a puzzled look on her face. "Surgeon? I am not familiar with that Equestrian word."
01[04:12] <%damhoof|gm> 4 "It's her mothers title. Never could figure out how it works, but supposedly her mothers will was imparted by some means magical or unnatural. It's could be sham, but who am I to judge?" Captain Smiles shrugs his shoulders and sips his tea.
06[04:13] * Grim nods, "ah take most things shamans say to me with a grain of salt." he slowly makes his way over to 'The Crone'
06[04:14] * ~Belle_Curve 's soft smiles looks a tad... Menacing as she licks her lips, "Well, Equestrian medicine is a tad different then the Zebra form you're familiar with.  We do a lot of physical work in addition to spells and medicinal remedies."
06[04:16] * Grim returns to the table with Belle_Curve and Matuimani "making friends?"
01[04:16] <%damhoof|gm> 4 A manly voice skitters in Matuimani's head. "She sounds useful. We can probably find more out about this metal invalid through her."
06[04:17] * Mayhem returns from wherever she disappeared to and sits down next to the table.
[04:18] <~Belle_Curve> "Grum, this Matuimani!  She's from the Zebra lands," she says, gesturing between the two with a wing, "Oop!  Looks like your minotaur friend is back, Matui!"
06[04:18] * ~Belle_Curve waves at Mayhem too, "Would you like to join us?"
06[04:19] * Matuimani gives a nod to Belle_Curve, completly unaware of how menancing her smile was. "It's always a good thing to learn from different cultures." She then turns to Grim upon hearing him and nod, then turns back to Belle. "Oh, she has returned?" She waves her hoof out for Mayhem . . . without really knowing if she was waving to her or not. "Mayhem, would you like to sit here and make friends?"
06[04:20] * ~Belle_Curve honestly looks more gleeful, she's just not very expressive which makes it hard to tell.
06[04:20] * Matuimani then turns to Belle_Curve. "Hmm, no, I was born in Equestria. My tribe however is a nomadic tribe that usually stays away from ponies due to . . . hatred that our people get for the war." She frowns a bit. "I actually came to this vessal to find the land where my people come from."
06[04:21] * Mayhem nods and skoots over to the other table on her butt. She winces a bit.
01[04:22] <%damhoof|gm> 4 The captain puts his tea near Belle_Curve. "Get to know each others well. I've seen too many halfwits paying for passage only to get shanked in a dark alleyway after being blinded by the sun." He turns and shouts. "Ishmael. Go get some of the soup, bring it to the guest at my quaters, and don't dally even if she's pretty."
01[04:23] <%damhoof|gm> 4 "Yessir." The yellow colt from before heads into the kitchen to grab some food on one of the trays.
[04:23] <Grim> "So what brings all y'all to this strange and exotic land?"
06[04:23] * Mayhem shrugs. "Adventure I guess."
06[04:26] * ~Belle_Curve sips her tea cautiously, waiting to hear what Grim says. "I've heard it's hot." she says to the zebra
[04:27] <Grim> "i've heard worse reasons."
[04:28] <Matuimani> "That does not concern me. I am very used to being in different temperatures from living with my tribe." She smile at Belle_Curve.
01[04:29] <%damhoof|gm> 4 The spirit voice's begin to skitter and rumble and talk in unison inside matuimani's head as if trying to answer the question and offering guidance all at once.
[04:30] <~Belle_Curve> "Then perhaps it won't be so bad!"
[04:31] <Matuimani> "Why do you plan to coming to the land of my people?" She asks Belle_Curve.
[04:32] <~Belle_Curve> "Honestly?  It might sound too much like the travel brochure, but I just really wanted a vacation somewhere there's sun," she says with another easy smile
06[04:33] * Matuimani blinks in confusion. "Vacation? Another Equestrian word I am unfamilar with."
06[04:33] * Grim ruffles his wings, his wing blades glinting a little, "ah vacation is when ya go to'a place tah just be there an enjoy yerself."
[04:33] <Mayhem> "Wouldn't it be easy for you to see the sun anyway? You know, with wings."
[04:33] <~Belle_Curve> "A trip one takes away from your job, to see somewhere different for fun."
06[04:34] * ~Belle_Curve pulls her lips back, making a slight hiss that most ponies usually use when a situation is complicated, "Yeeeeeah, it isn't quite as easy as it seems..."
06[04:34] * Grim snorts at Mayhem's quesion and looks really pissed off for a few moments.
[04:35] <~Belle_Curve> "See, there's ponies, in the clouds and above them actually, that get very testy when you try and fly up high."
06[04:35] * Matuimani gave another blink at Belle_Curve. "You have wings?"
06[04:36] * ~Belle_Curve nods!
[04:36] <~Belle_Curve> "I take it you can't see very well?" she asks, half-kidding
[04:36] <Grim> "and shoot you with fucking lasers until yer dusted."
01[04:36] <%damhoof|gm> 4 The captain coughs as as he tried to his tea when Mayhem posted the question. He spends a moment to recover before saying out loud. "There's a a problem with flying for weeks on end without finding anyplace to land or rest."
[04:37] <~Belle_Curve> "That too."
[04:37] <Matuimani> "That sounds awful." She frowns upon hearing what Grim says. She then turns back to Belle_Curve. "Indeed. I was born with very foggy vision."
[04:37] <Grim> "and thats if their lazy."
06[04:37] * ~Belle_Curve leans in closer, "Mind if I take a look?
06[04:38] * Matuimani brings back her smile and nods at Belle_Curve. "Of course my friend. But I do not mind it much, I have grown used to seeing this way."
01[04:39] <%damhoof|gm> 4 The feminine voice inside Matuimani's head whispers "You was born with purpose. I would take offence if you pass it off as disease."
[04:39] <Grim> "ya know theres a way to fix the blindness issue." he taps the metal plate on his face holding his cybernetic eye in place.
[04:40] <~Belle_Curve> "Shush," she baps Grim on the nose with her wing
[04:40] <Matuimani> "I don't think of it as a disease really." She says taking in the spirit's wisdom. "I was born this way for a purpose."
06[04:41] * Mayhem watches Belle_Curve with interest.
[04:42] <Grim> "Naw, Fate is just an ass."
[04:42] <~Belle_Curve> "I hate to break it to you dear, there's nothing I could do for you if you did think it was a disease," she says, practically touching muzzles as she pulls Matuimani's eyelids up with the tip of the non-griffon smacking one, "Look side to side?"
06[04:42] * Matuimani she does as Belle_Curve asks her to do, moving her eyes to the sides.
03[04:43] * Retrieving #FoESand modes...
01[04:43] <%damhoof|gm> 4 as Belle_Curve examines Matuimani's eyes the fog lifts from her vision. She starts finding the contures, then contrasts as colors come to her, and shapes become known.
06[04:43] * Grim un furls his map with a sigh and looks for Roam in relitive distance from Istanbull
01[04:45] <%damhoof|gm> 4 Belle_Curve finds Matuimani to have perfectly serviceable eyes. There are no defects or diseases she can spot from her examinations.
[04:46] <~Belle_Curve> "Huh...." she says, "Turn them back the other way?"
06[04:47] * Matuimani does as she's instructed. She appeared rather used to doing as she's told without question.
06[04:47] * Grim is mildly unerved by that
[04:48] <~Belle_Curve> "Your eyes seem perfectly healthy, 'mani," she says, raising a visible eyebrow, "Vision still cloudy?"
06[04:48] * Mayhem raises an eyebrow. "What did you do? Healing by touch?"
[04:49] <~Belle_Curve> "No typically," she snorts, looking away from her zebra patient, "That was always mother's thing."
06[04:49] * Matuimani then notices that she can momentarily see, seeing Grim as a rather scary looking griffin with all the cybernetics attached to him. "The cybernetics you speak of do not look so good in all honesty." She then blinks and looks back to Belle_Curve. "At times the fog will clear up, just as it is right now when you were looking at them."
[04:49] <~Belle_Curve> "Hm!" she says, making a thoughtful noise, "No, the modern models are quite primitive to look at I'm afraid."
01[04:50] <%damhoof|gm> 4 Matuimani feels her vision growing clearer with each passing moment, but alongside it comes a feeling of being hollow inside. As if a presence inside of her is fading or has faded.
[04:50] <Grim> "they are mildly uncomfortable."
[04:51] <Grim> "But hey, I can open a steel ranger up like a can of cram so, there are some upsides."
06[04:51] * ~Belle_Curve is a relatively pretty mare!  Young, dark blue and pink with a pistol strapped to her chest that the light winks off the metalwork.
06[04:51] * Matuimani began appearing a little depressed for some reason, and appeared a bit scared as she began feeling hollow. "Hello?" She asks as if something was missing.
[04:53] <Grim> "Still here." replies Grim.
01[04:53] <%damhoof|gm> 4 Her sight begins to fog over almost immideately. "Yes dear?" a voice in her head calls back out to Matuimani.
[04:53] <Mayhem> "Awww, you broke it."
06[04:53] * ~Belle_Curve tilts her head, "I'm afraid I didn't do anything."
06[04:54] * Matuimani sighes in relief as her vision fogs back. "Though, I find seeing things to be a rather bit scary."
06[04:55] * ~Belle_Curve smacks Grim with her tail this time :I
[04:55] <Grim> "What I do?"
[04:55] <~Belle_Curve> "Should have sent you away first," she says, grumbling
01[04:55] <%damhoof|gm> 4 A distant rumble follows suit, alongside a familliar skittering presence. "You could tell her. In private or out loud. We disagree. Your heritage so you make decition."
[04:55] <Grim> "I didn't do shit!"
06[04:55] * Mayhem 's gaze gets drawn to somewhere else by the tail whip...
06[04:57] * Matuimani appeared to be in deep thought from hearing what the spirits told her to do.
01[04:57] <%damhoof|gm> 4 The captain pulls out his pipe and excuses himself from the table. "I'll go do my rounds now. You can find me on deck most of the time."
06[04:57] * Grim grumbles to himself and glares at Belle, "thanks fer the tip captain."
[04:59] <~Belle_Curve> "Thank you Captain," she says practically automatically, though not seeing where the cow may or may not be looking!
01[04:59] <%damhoof|gm> 4 "If there is anything you need or want, don't hesistate to ask." He nods towards Belle_Curve. "Also. If any of you know your shit around mechanical assets. We have a broken autodoc from before the war in our medical bay. Fixing her up good would make travel safer for all, and I offer no small reward for it either." His smile deepens. "I have a seapony pearl."
06[05:00] * Grim shudders at the mention of Seaponies
06[05:00] * Mayhem perks up. "I could have a look at it's computer interface."
06[05:00] * Matuimani turns over to the captain. "An autodoc? What is that?"
01[05:02] <%damhoof|gm> 4 Captain smile nods. "Sure, sure. Ishmael will take you to the medbay once he returns from..." He scowls suddenly as he looks up at the clock. "That does it. I'll go fetch him myself."
06[05:02] * Mayhem snorts behind her hand.
06[05:02] * ~Belle_Curve clears her throat, "Perhaps if you're aminable, Mayhem, I could assist?"
06[05:03] * Grim answers Matuimani, "Its like a doctor, but a robot, and has no bed side manners."
01[05:03] <%damhoof|gm> 4 "Be careful though. Old world technology isn't as it used to be." He shouts from the door. "She's got quirks."
06[05:03] * Mayhem nods. "Sure, we can have a look at it."
[05:04] <~Belle_Curve> "Hopefully none that involve the saws."
01[05:05] <%damhoof|gm> 4 "Oh no." The old mare says as she begins to clean the table. "We removed most of her equipment ages ago when the ship was first restored. She had this habit of stalking the halls after night, and we just coulnd't risk frightening the guests or worse endangering them."
06[05:06] * ~Belle_Curve tries not to laugh considering the danger involved.
[05:06] <Grim> "uh... who aRE ya'll talking about?"
[05:07] <Mayhem> "Last I know autodocs don't move around the place."
01[05:08] <%damhoof|gm> 4 "The autodoc. She's taken to calling herself Victoria." The old mare laughs. "And she used to move. This is a top class ship after all. You can't expect nobles to go to the hospital. Some clever fool had the idea that it was better to bring it to them."
[05:09] <Mayhem> "That's one fancy autodoc."
[05:09] <Matuimani> "Ah." She says to Grim.  "I am so sorry for not knowing much. My tribe does not concern itself much with the Old World's machinery."
[05:10] <Grim> "that sounds like an acident waiting to happen."
[05:12] <Matuimani> "How would it?" She asks the cybergriffin, not really aware of the danger an AI can cause.
[05:13] <Grim> "imagine a cofin that binds you in place then rips you apart, while your awake, then puts you back together."
