[10:13] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~SESSION 12~~~~~~
[10:13] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~DAY 16~~~~~~
[10:13] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~TIME: ~14:00h - Manehattan, Stable 32~~~~~~
[10:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3After the tumultuous series of events and discoveries following the group's departure from Bucklyn Cross' Applejack's Rangers' Base, they currently find themselves lodged in Stable 32 the afternoon of the days after Clipped's cybernetics operation.
04[10:17] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped Cantle and Mercury are in Whirr's office with him and Revenant, while Blastwave and Kirengo are waiting outside.
15[10:18] * +Kirengo "You think taking this long is a good thing or a bad thing?"
07[10:18] * +Blastwave perks his ears up, "Well, no gun shots or explosions, so that is good."
15[10:21] * +Kirengo nods, giving the door another glance. "Yeah, true." He stuffs the cloak back in whatever magical inventory he's got. "I need to talk to my mom about the cloak, too. See if she can get wing holes put in..."
07[10:23] * +Blastwave nods, "I can't imagine it would be that difficult to cut holes... unless they have to be magic holes."
15[10:24] * +Kirengo pulls part of it back out and holds it up for Blastwave. "See the color? It's some sort of... special... something."
07[10:25] * +Blastwave nods very slowly, "Some sort of something... you're not really good at this stuff, are you?"
15[10:26] * +Kirengo "Um... You mean alchemy?"
07[10:26] * +Blastwave nods, "Is that what this is?"
15[10:27] * +Kirengo "It's what zebra magic is."
07[10:29] * +Blastwave nods, "Than yes, you aren't good at this stuff." he rolls his eyes. "Sorry, they don't really go over much about zebra magic in the enclave, except that it's eviiiiil~"
15[10:31] * +Kirengo nods. "Uh-huh..." He stuffs the cloak back down. "Well I'm not all that good at it. I can do some, but I never really picked up on it." He shrugs. "It can be evil, but anything -can- be evil."
07[10:33] * +Blastwave nods, "I figured at much, I wasn't suggesting I thought it was evil, just thats what I was taught."
15[10:34] * +Kirengo "You're being overly defensive again, Blat."
15[10:34] <+Kirengo> Blats*
15[10:34] <+Kirengo> Blast*
07[10:35] * +Blastwave blinks and looks over, "What, no I'm not..."
15[10:36] * +Kirengo tilts his head. "Never said you thought it was evil."
15[10:36] <+Kirengo> I never said*
07[10:36] * +Blastwave tilts her head, "I never said you said that I said that it was evil..."
15[10:38] * +Kirengo "But you still felt the need to clarify." He sighs and shrugs. "Anyway..."
07[10:39] * +Blastwave "Well, obviously. Poor communication kills. Thats lesson one in officer training."
15[10:42] * +Kirengo blinks. "Oh. Nevermind, then... ... Hey, when this is done... nah, nevermind."
07[10:42] * +Blastwave pokes him with a steel clad hoof, "When this is done... go on."
15[10:45] * +Kirengo scrunches his face up, half in thought and half in not wanting to continue. He does finally, though. "Want to... have me go get some bacon so you can see it?"
07[10:46] * +Blastwave smirks and then chuckles under his helmet, "Sure why not. Always wondered what I taste like."
15[10:46] * +Kirengo smiles. "'S good. And greasy."
07[10:47] * +Blastwave "I'll have to take your word for it, I'm barely sure I know what that even means."
15[10:48] * +Kirengo shakes his head. "And Mercury says -we- don't have enough food down here..."
07[10:50] * +Blastwave shrugs, "Generally speaking we're vegitarian in the Enclave, so like, meat is not something I'm all that familiar with."
15[10:52] * +Kirengo blinks. "Oh. Well... -that- would probably have to change... yeah... Not a whole lot of vegetables down here... Well... is cram and sugar apple bombs vegetarian?"
15[10:52] <+Kirengo> are*
04[10:52] * +Blastwave blinks at Kirengo and slowly shakes his head, "No... no I don't think so. Apples are though."
15[10:54] * +Kirengo "Well yes, apples are... but you've already seen what's basically the entire wasteland's supply of apples. Nowhere near enough for everyone who is already down here, not to mention Enclave refugees."
07[10:55] * +Blastwave "I see, that sort of ties in to what Merc was saying about farming, but who knows what will happen with the sun out. I'm sort of glad I don't have to eat, a constant diet of meat would just make me sick."
15[10:57] * +Kirengo "Constant diet of meat makes everyone sick. We eat a lot of the pre-war food, too."
07[10:58] * +Blastwave "Pre-war? Like, two hundred years old?"
15[10:58] * +Kirengo nods.
07[11:00] * +Blastwave "I... see... wasters much be a hearty lot to survive such food..."
15[11:02] * +Kirengo chuckles and pounds a forehoof on his chest. "Wasteland strong!"
07[11:06] * +Blastwave laughs and shakes his head. There was not much he could say to that.
15[11:15] * +Kirengo snort-chuckles as he puts his hoof back down. "Meat and two hundred year old food isn't even the worst stuff we eat..."
07[11:16] * +Blastwave looks over, "What is the worst stuff you eat...?"
15[11:17] * +Kirengo tilts his head. "Uuuuuh... worst I've eaten... may just be stepping on a radroach, picking it up, and biting into it."
07[11:17] * +Blastwave "Eyuck, that's disgusting."
15[11:19] * +Kirengo "I was really hungry at the time..."
07[11:21] * +Blastwave snerks, "Well far be it from me to criticizes someones eating habits."
15[11:23] * +Kirengo straightens his head back out and smirks. "Should totally be like a rite of passage... can't live in the wasteland until you've eaten raw radroach you killed yourself."
07[11:23] * +Blastwave "Oh yes, I can imagine that'd go over well. Brings your kids to eat a radroach day."
15[11:26] * +Kirengo smiles. "Yeah! Can make a whole 'Welcome to the Wasteland' even out of it!"
15[11:26] <+Kirengo> event*
07[11:26] * +Blastwave "Yeah, with the new Enclave Refugees, i'm sure Merc will adore this idea."
15[11:27] * +Kirengo sighs and rolls his eyes. "Who asked her?"
07[11:29] * +Blastwave "Oh, we're keeoing it a secret then? Mums the word."
15[11:29] * +Kirengo "Well we could get her to organize it and just not tell her what it's actually for..."
07[11:31] * +Blastwave snickers, "That'd go over well."
15[11:35] * +Kirengo shrugs. "It'd kinda throw out the plan to get her to like me..."
07[11:36] * +Blastwave "I think she doesn't like you because she thinks you don't like her."
15[11:37] * +Kirengo blinks. "How am I supposed to like her?"
07[11:37] * +Blastwave blinks, "I don't know... magic?"
15[11:39] * +Kirengo huffs softly. "Yeah, right. Magically forget that she thinks I'm a representation of everything wrong with the non-Enclave world."
07[11:40] * +Blastwave "Yeah, sure, why not."
15[11:41] * +Kirengo blinks at Blastwave. "You're serious?"
07[11:41] * +Blastwave looks over, "Well she's wrong anyway, so what does it matter what she thinks?"
15[11:44] * +Kirengo "Be...cause... I... uh... would you want to spend your time around someone who thought you were the embodiment of the mass-murdering part of the Enclave?"
07[11:49] * +Blastwave snickers, "You mean like precious? Besides, I thought you two talked out your differences..."
15[11:52] * +Kirengo nods. "Yes, I mean like Precious. And yeah, we talked... I don't -hate- her but I mean... I... guess... I don't know... doesn't mean I like her, either."
07[11:53] * +Blastwave sighs, "Well as long as you two don't kill each other and pretend to get along."
15[11:55] * +Kirengo rubs his face with a steel-encased hoof. "I guess... Maybe you can talk to her, I don't know."
07[11:55] * +Blastwave sighs, "I've tried, I'm not sure what else to really say."
15[11:56] * +Kirengo "Well I certainly won't come up with any new good ideas..."
06[11:58] * Mercury ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[11:58] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Mercury
04[11:58] * +Blastwave "Maybe trust building exercises..." he pauses and suddenly falls over in the direction or Kirengo, "Trust fall!"
15[11:59] * +Kirengo blinks, having no clue what was going on, and moves to catch Blastwave.
06[11:59] * Menti is now known as Clipped_Cantle
07[12:00] * +Blastwave is caught and starts laughing, "Aha! You succeeded"
15[12:00] * +Kirengo "Succeeded in -what-?"
07[12:02] * +Blastwave gets back up, "it was a trust fall."
15[12:03] * +Kirengo blinks as he helps Blastwave back up. "Trust... fall? What, trust that you'd get caught?"
07[12:03] * +Blastwave nods, "Exactly, i trusted you'd catch me, so what you need to do is fall in the direction of Merc and get her to catch you."
15[12:05] * +Kirengo "I guess... but... she'd probably just let me fall."
07[12:06] * +Blastwave "Maybe! Maybe."
15[12:06] * +Kirengo raises an eyebrow. "And if she did?"
07[12:06] * +Blastwave "Then you've proven my ideas are insane, congratulations."
07[12:09] * +Mercury is in Wirr's office, looking at him.
15[12:09] * +Kirengo "That's like congratulating a brahmin for crapping on your hoof."
[12:09] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr is looking at Mercury, waiting for an answer.
15[12:10] <+Kirengo> thirteh-two an' that was when'ey was goin' strong. Hah!" He leans back in his chair, saying, "Ah'm already givin' ya'll a buck a' ground an' ya'll can go an' tell am - afta we's done. Ain' it so darn hard ta weet a couple a' days? Heh!?"
15[12:11] <+Kirengo> [04:58] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr chuckles, "While we's weak? Rangers already failed twice on gettin' inta thirteh-two an' that was when'ey was goin' strong. Hah!" He leans back in his chair, saying, "Ah'm already givin' ya'll a buck a' ground an' ya'll can go an' tell am - afta we's done. Ain' it so darn hard ta weet a couple a' days? Heh!?"
07[12:11] * +Blastwave blinks, "I feel slightly insulted..."
07[12:13] * +Mercury "Well, in most military organizations it would kind of be treason, so, it really is." She looks at him sternly. "Look, if you let her tell her superiors, they will probably offer to help you, if anything. If not, then she is risking her life for you and may lose her career, or at the least a good bit of respect from her higher ups.”
15[12:14] * +Kirengo raises the other eyebrow. "Your last idea was to explode Whirr, dear..."
07[12:15] * +Blastwave coughs into his hoof, "Well... uh, in my defence, uh... shut up..."
15[12:18] * +Kirengo moves over to Blastwave with a smile and puts a hoof up on his armored shoulder. "I don't think you're -completely- insane."
[12:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr shakes his head, "Look, lassie: Ah can' just do that. Ah'm lookin' out fer thirteh-two 'ere an' Ah'm sorry, but Ah don' quite yet trust em cause of er 'istory wiff this kind o' theng." He gets up, saying, "Ah'm tryin' ta be puttin' tha interests of them ponies Ah live wiff befor tha Rangers becaus o' that."
07[12:24] * +Blastwave smirks and pushes him away, "No, just mostly insane?"
15[12:24] * +Kirengo takes a step back to steady himself and puts his hoof down with a chuckle. "Half, at least."
07[12:29] * +Blastwave shakes his head, "Half the wasteland is halfinsane."
15[12:30] * +Kirengo "So... the entire wasteland is a quarter insane?"
07[12:31] * +Blastwave blinks, "Sounds about right."
07[12:31] * +Mercury lifts an eyebrow. "So that is why you are sending a newly cut Ranger, instead of a local expert? Less risk to the Stable."
07[12:33] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. She could kind of understand that, honestly. She didn't agree with it, but she could understand it.
15[12:34] * +Kirengo nods. "Right... or a quarter of the wasteland is entirely insane... there's five of us... split that quarter up between you and Moon... yeah, we're a perfect example."
07[12:34] * +Blastwave "But there is... wait... what?"
15[12:35] * +Kirengo "It's just basic math."
07[12:36] * +Blastwave "Ah reckon the enclave don't take to your fancy math-e-matics"
15[12:37] * +Kirengo chuckles.
[12:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr tilts his head, "Becus we've gotta Stabil and it's 'conomy ta run, we don't got Powa Armer and we got sed Stabil ta protect from all them dangas ya'll don't got up in yer clouds."
07[12:42] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and tilts her head. "Wait... wait. Then how'd you go try it and trip the alarm? And why haven't you gone back?"
15[12:47] <+Kirengo> Karina is totally getting up and heading to Medical with Primer. >.>
[12:50] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr looks to Clipped_Cantle, saying, "Ah was thare wiff mah own ponies before Ah came 'ere. We cut a passidge outa tha faciliteh afta we tripped tha 'larm at U3 an' 'ventually found 'er way ta 32 eventually."
07[13:01] * +Mercury nods with Clipped_Cantle. "Can't be all that important to you then. All this time here and you never asked one of your invisizebra friends to get it for you? Would it really be too bad to tell the Rangers at this point? If I am right, you would get help and support. If I am wrong, you lose nothing.”
15[13:05] <+Kirengo> Karina walks past Kirengo and Blastwave and into the clinic, following Primer.  She looks over at Mercury and Clipped_Cantle.  "That was a very nice try to get him to comply.  Made me rather nostalgic about the time we fought a dragon.  But if you would just step out, we could give this guy a few words he couldn't possibly deny."
04[13:08] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and looks at Karina and Primer. "Er... uh, alright." She puts her helmet back on, then trots out of the room and over to Kirengo and Blastwave.
07[13:09] * +Blastwave nods at Clipped_Cantle, "Go well?"
15[13:09] * +Kirengo blinks as his mother goes in and Clipped and Mercury comes out. "Uh... so how'd it go?"
07[13:10] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head and sighs. "He's not budging. At least not for us."
15[13:12] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes. "You'd think being in a civil war would be enough proof."
07[13:12] * +Blastwave "So... he doesnt trust AJ Rangers, but does trust clipped?
07[13:13] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Pretty much, I guess. Saw his opportunity and took it..."
15[13:13] * +Kirengo "Yeah that don't make sense either... Probably because he figures he saved her life, so she owes him something? Which... heh..."
07[13:14] * +Blastwave "But you are an AJ Ranger... weirdo..."
15[13:15] * +Kirengo glances back into the clinic. "I hope he isn't dead by the time they walk back out..."
04[13:17] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs at Kirengo. "Well, he'd be right. I do owe him."
15[13:19] * +Kirengo looks at Clipped_Cantle. "You don't owe him your loyalty, your career, or possibly your life. It was his choice to save you. Doing something nice in return is a proper thing to do, but by no means should you be forced to do something you don't like the idea of doing just to appease him. It should be something nice to return the favor done on your terms and in a way that doesn't screw you over."
04[13:21] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Kirengo. "Yeah, I agree with you there, but this isn't just for him. This could do a whole lot of good for this stable. Hell, maybe even the wastes."
15[13:22] * +Kirengo "Right. And if it isn't just for him, then we have even less of a reason to follow his vindictive little wish that we not tell the Rangers."
07[13:25] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and rubs the back of her helmeted head with a steel-clad hoof. "Yeah, but going behind his back would just prove him right. That he can't trust AJ Rangers. I can't fault him for not wanting to risk his home and friends... even if there isn't actually any risk." She sighs. "I don't know. Let's just hope Primer and your mom can convince him."
07[13:26] * +Mercury shrugs. "I could do it for you. He said nothing about Enclave, and I doubt he will be trusting us any time soon anyway."
15[13:27] * +Kirengo "Well I'm glad Mom doesn't have her guns on her, cause she'd probably just shoot him. And no, we don't need to go behind his back. We can tell him to his face that we're going to tell Split and then he'll be even more surprised and happy when the entire situation turns out the way he wanted it to in the first place."
[13:30] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Still proves we're no different than the Steels to him."
15[13:30] * +Kirengo blinks. "Having our entire organization know and still turning over the facility to him proves we're no better than the Steel Rangers? What?"
15[13:31] * +Kirengo "That would... prove we're -A LOT- better than the Steel Rangers." He looks at Mercury. "I guess... but that's just sleezy."
15[13:32] * +Kirengo "If you find a loophole through trust, what good is the trust?"
07[13:32] * +Mercury shrugs. "Politics."
07[13:34] * +Clipped_Cantle grumbles. "That's not what I meant. Yeah, when that happens it'd change things, but when we tell him 'Oh, we're going to do it the way we want despite your wishes' doesn't sound like an AJ Ranger to me."
07[13:34] * +Blastwave "So... when do we get to blow stuff up?" she looks at Clipped_Cantle, "What? That doesn't make any sense."
15[13:35] * +Kirengo blinks at Clipped_Cantle. "We're doing what he wants... our way... and it is exactly the same in the end for him."
07[13:35] * +Mercury shrugs again. "He had no right to ask you to go behind the Ranger's backs and you would not be going behind his."
15[13:35] * +Kirengo "What Mercury said."
15[13:36] * +Kirengo "He's trying to guilt you into doing something you'd not normally do. That's not right, we have no business doing what he says the way he wants if we know it's not right."
07[13:38] * +Clipped_Cantle looks away from the group. "I... if it weren't for him I'd..." She sighs. "It's not guilt, it's... it's..." She stops, trying to think of a way to explain it.
15[13:38] * +Kirengo "It's the fact that you'd be dead without him so you think you owe him. But betraying yourself or your friends or your oath to do that just isn't right."
07[13:39] * +Mercury "And in the long run, this way is better for the Stable. If he starts a relationship with the Rangers using a relief mission to slap them in the face it will not end well." She looks over to Clipped. “You owe Primer. She was the one who told him to help you. He is just trying to use you.”
06[13:39] * DancingOnTheAshes is now known as Primer
07[13:41] * +Clipped_Cantle slumps a little and closes her eyes. "But how is not repaying a debt any better?" She sighs and looks at Mercury. "Primer isn't the one who managed to save me from getting turned to jelly. She may have told him... but Whirr is the one who did it."
15[13:43] * +Kirengo "Clipped, we -are- repaying the debt. Going and turning over the facility to him -was- the repayment. For any other requests that would make us go against the oath we took... he can go screw himself."
04[13:45] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Kirengo, then looks away, saying nothing.
04[13:45] * +Mercury lifts an eyebrow. "And if she didn't he wouldn't have. You owe him very little. Thanks are plenty." She nods to Kirengo, then back yo Clipped.
[13:45] <+Mercury> to*
15[13:46] * +Kirengo "What did you ask of me after you saved my life and then fixed my ribs again?"
04[13:47] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and looks back to Kirengo. "What? Nothing."
15[13:47] * +Kirengo "Why not?"
04[13:49] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at Kirengo. "Because that's... just what I do. I couldn't just let you sit there and be hurt when I could help."
04[13:51] <~Zeph|GM> 3Primer and Karina come out of Whirrs office after a short while, closing the door behind them and trotting to the rest of the group.
15[13:51] * +Kirengo "And Whirr is a doctor, it's his job, it's just what he does. Why should he expect something in return when you didn't?"
07[13:51] * +Mercury nods. "Exactly. It was your duty, job and the right thing to do." She shakes her head. "I am all for gratitude and favors, but it is important to be able to tell the difference between a favor and guilt or extortion."
15[13:51] <+Kirengo> Karina comes out, her every feature practically dripping with sarcasm.  Yes, she -looks- sarcastic.
07[13:52] * +Primer looks rather gruff and slightly miffed. "The little prick gets on my implants..."
04[13:52] * +Clipped_Cantle lowers her head a little. "I... yeah, I guess." She blinks and looks over at Karina and Primer.
15[13:53] * +Kirengo looks up at the two mares. "So hi again..."
04[13:54] * +Mercury looks over to Primer and Karina. "Ma'ams." She salutes.
04[13:54] * +Blastwave whispers to Mercury, "Don't call Karina Ma'am." he looks over, "Hello."
07[13:55] * +Primer stomps up to the group and sits with a loud klank. "Well, we've solved the situation."
07[13:55] * +Mercury blinks. Okay then.
15[13:56] <+Kirengo> Karina stops and blinks at Mercury.  "What the ghoul said."  She looks up at Primer.  "Solved is one way to put it, I would've preferred bullets instead."
07[13:57] * +Primer chuckles. "Not worth the lead."
04[13:57] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at Primer and Karina. "Er, what do you mean?"
07[13:57] * +Primer looks at Clipped. "As long as the facility is turned over to 32, you are allowed to inform your superiors."
15[13:57] <+Kirengo> Karina shrugs.  "Could use the .22, would turn him to paste and wouldn't be as much lead to waste."
15[13:58] * +Kirengo smirks. Yay Aunt Primer! "Perfect. We were gonna do that anyway."
04[13:59] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Primer. "Oh, well... that solves that then. Thank you, Primer." She nods at Kirengo's statement. "Was my intent the whole time. And it will be."
07[13:59] * +Blastwave is not sure he likes the title 'The Ghoul' but alas.
07[13:59] * +Primer nods. "We knew. And, if the Applejack's Rangers want in on this, you are welcome to come to the bargening table."
07[14:00] * +Mercury nods to the two, slightly disappointed she was not the one to do it. "Thank you."
15[14:00] <+Kirengo> Karina snorts.
15[14:01] * +Kirengo nods. "Thanks, Aunt Primer." He looks back at Clipped and Blastwave. "Well, want to report back in then?"
04[14:02] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles. That would work great... Rangers secure the place but can't hold it... 32 can hold it but can't secure it... work together and the whole wasteland benefits. She looks to Kirengo. "Yeah, let's do that." She looks back to Primer. "Mind if we use your radio to call in, then?"
07[14:03] * +Primer nods to Clipped. "Sure, go ahead."
06[14:03] * Shadow ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[14:03] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Shadow
06[14:03] * Shadow is now known as Moonlight`s_Shimmer
07[14:03] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer has been here the whole time
07[14:03] * +Mercury nods. "Rangers have some smart cookies. Could do a lot of good looking into this stuff."
07[14:03] * +Blastwave nods, "How do we report?"
07[14:04] * +Blastwave blinks, "Nevermind, they have a radio here."
15[14:04] <+Kirengo> Karina looks at Mercury.  "Could you -not- say those words?"
15[14:06] * +Kirengo "You wanna do it, Clipped, or want me to?"
15[14:06] * +Kirengo "Or Blast."
07[14:07] * +Mercury blinks again. No Ma'am and no smart cookies... Smart biscuits just didn't have the same ring... darn.
[14:07] <+Clipped_Cantle> "I... er... well, they need to be told about..." She gestures to her body.
07[14:07] * +Blastwave "Your fabulous good looks?"
15[14:08] * +Kirengo shrugs. "The exact details of that can wait until we're back and face to face."
07[14:08] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Blastwave, then smirks a little.
07[14:08] * +Primer stands back up. "Well, I've got obligations. You kids have fun." She stars walking off towards the Trading Quarter.
07[14:09] * +Clipped_Cantle waves to Primer. "Have a good one. Thanks for all your help."
15[14:09] <+Kirengo> Karina and Kirengo both wave at Primer.
07[14:09] * +Primer gives Clipped a smile. "You're welcome."
07[14:09] * +Mercury waves as well and looks back to Clipped_Cantle. "So, calling this in then?"
04[14:10] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and shakes her head, whispering. "I... I think it'd... be better if Kiren or Blast called it in."
15[14:12] * +Kirengo nods. "Alright... I can do it. He turns to leave then looks back at Karina, pulling out his cloak and tossing it to her. "Unaweza ku'anya koti na ma'imo mrengo?"
15[14:12] <+Kirengo> Karina catches the cloak and nods.  "Uha'ika, tamu."
04[14:12] * +Mercury nods. "Okay then." She looks over to Blastwave and Kirengo. "If you are, could you check on Fish? She was nice and has a changeling couch somewhere on her boat."
15[14:12] * +Kirengo grins. "Alright..." He looks back at the group then continues on to wherever the radio is.
15[14:13] * +Kirengo snerks as he walks. "Haha... changeling couch... Poor Fish..."
04[14:13] * +Blastwave snickers at Mercury and follows Kirengo, "Kiren you should do the talking, the urge to make stuff up would be too strong."
15[14:13] * +Kirengo "Alright."
04[14:14] * +Clipped_Cantle follows Kirengo, chuckling.
07[14:14] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head, waking herself up from her daydream, then follows Clipped_Cantle, leaning her head down to nuzzle her
07[14:14] * +Mercury looks over to Clipped_Cantle with a slight smile. "May I borrow a few caps?"
07[14:15] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and looks over at Mercury. "Er... I would, but I spent what I had left on healing potions from Whirr. Had to restock, my armor used a whole bunch when..." She sighs and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back.
07[14:16] * +Mercury shrugs. "No worries, it was for a bad joke anyway."
15[14:16] * +Kirengo "Speaking of Jot... with both her and Precious gone, we have nobody to pick locks... So far we've gotten a lot of ammo and grenades and a missle in lockboxes..."
[14:16] <~Zeph|GM> 3The radio installation is somewhat similar as the one you've seen in Bucklyn base, but in a different design, developed internally by Stable-Tech for their own installations.
07[14:17] * +Mercury looks between Clipped_Cantle and Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Would you like me to get you something to eat or drink?"
07[14:17] * +Blastwave hums, "I guess that is true." he thinks about this. "Can't be that hard."
15[14:19] * +Kirengo shrugs. "Probably not. I usually just try and smash the smaller ones and bypass the bigger ones." He walks up tot he radio installion and fiddles with it to get to the closest base to Bucklyn he can... which apparently is Stable 29 and not Bucklyn itself.
07[14:21] * +Blastwave "I wonder if I can puck locks with explosives..."
07[14:21] * +Clipped_Cantle looks over at Blastwave and chuckles. "You probably could, but what if there's explosives inside? You'd blow them up too, probably."
15[14:21] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave and chuckles. "Yeah... and probably destroy everything inside, especially if there's more explosives on the inside."
07[14:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer waves a wing "We are not very hungry." she blinks "Well, we could try to learn how to pick locks, it cannot be that hard."
07[14:22] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Mercury. "I'm starving. Was originally going to see if you guys wanted to find some breakfast when I got up this morning... that didn't work out as planned."
04[14:24] * +Mercury nods to them. "I'll go see if I can russle something up." She looks to Kirengo and Blastwave. "Anything for you two? Fruit, bread, breakfast sausage?"
07[14:24] * +Blastwave frowns, "That would suck, I guess I could try lockpicking, it seems like an adeventerous endeavour
15[14:24] * +Kirengo "Yeah Moon, but you're already a true wastelander. This could help Blast get into the spirit of things." He looks at Mercury for a moment. He blinks. He snerks.
07[14:25] * +Blastwave blinks at Mercury... then waves a hoof in front of his face, "I am still a ghoul right? I don't eat. Well I can, but with food so scarce it'd be rude." He ignores all innuendo
07[14:25] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Moon and smiles. "Looks like we were all thinking the same thing..." She reaches into her bags and pulls out a bunch of bobby pins. "I was going to give it a shot, myself."
15[14:26] * +Kirengo finally shrugs. "Another apple is fine with me."
07[14:26] * +Mercury shrugs. "I remember you wanting irradiated water last time. And showing an intrest in bacon."
07[14:27] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "Well, we could always learn it togethor, if you want Clipped."
07[14:27] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles at Mercury. "I'm hungry enough to not really care. Long as it's edible."
07[14:27] * +Blastwave "Radiation heals me..." he rolls his eyes, "And lets not start on bacon again."
15[14:27] * +Kirengo clears his throat softly and looks back at the panel. He wouldn't mind some bacon...
07[14:28] * +Blastwave accepts the bobby pins, if that wasn't clear. Time for some fail-picking.
07[14:28] * +Mercury "Oh well. I'll be back in a bit then." She walks to the trade quarter mumbling. "I wonder how much I can get for my ammo..."
07[14:29] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and turns to smile at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Yeah? That'd be nice..." She pauses. "...actually, you seem to like uh... technology a lot, right Moon?"
15[14:30] * +Kirengo glances at Blastwave and smirks.
07[14:31] * +Clipped_Cantle she turns to Mercury. "Hey, wait Merc. I've got some ammo from those laser rifles you could sell to help out. Was keeping them to recharge the repair talismans in our armor, but eating's more important." She digs into her bags and pulls out 12 overcharged micro-sparkle cells.
04[14:31] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo, "Hum what?" he was staring at the bobby pins to learn their secrets
07[14:31] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and smiles "Oh yes, we enjoy working with the complexities of advanced technology and the like...why do you ask Clipped?"
15[14:32] * +Kirengo nods at the bobbypins. "It's just nice to see..." He glances over at Clipped and Mercury. "If you're too short on caps to eat... just go above ground and kill something."
04[14:33] * +Mercury stops and goes over to the cells. "Oooohhh... shiny and overcharged." She looks to Kirengo. "And then sell it?"
15[14:33] * +Kirengo "And then eat it..."
07[14:33] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and closes her eyes. "Well, I... I don't know... anything about..." She gestures to her body with a hoof. "...and that's... I should. I should know. And with our armor... I think... well, ugh."
07[14:34] * +Clipped_Cantle hoofs the MSCs to Mercury before she says that.
07[14:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "Well...we do not exactly know a whole lot about cybernetics...but we are very quick learners, and we would love to teach you Clipped."
07[14:35] * +Mercury takes the cells in hoof. "Huh... I supose I could give that a try... it is not like my weapons won't pre-cook it."
07[14:36] * +Clipped_Cantle leans against Moonlight`s_Shimmer and nuzzles her back. "Thanks, Moon."
07[14:37] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and drapes a wing over Clipped_Cantle "It is no problem Clipped."
15[14:39] * +Kirengo calls through on the radio to either Bucklyn or Stable 29, whichever one was possible.
[14:42] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Stable 29 Radio Operator eventually answers, "Stable 32, this is Stable 29, Scribe Boom."
15[14:45] * +Kirengo "Stable Twenty-Nine, this is Squad Six..." he gives a short chuckle. "The group of freaks and an earth pony." Yes, that was a much better squad name. "We're reporting in on our mission to investigate the Enclave attack on Shantyshod. The Ironshod factory has been decimated and the town's been damaged. Several casualties, but most of the population made it to safety inside of Stable Thirty-Two."
15[14:47] <+Kirengo> Bucklyn Squad Six*
04[14:48] * +Clipped_Cantle glances over at Kirengo when he mentions the 'group of freaks and an earth pony'. She takes off her helmet so he can see her smirk at him.
07[14:50] * +Blastwave fiddles with his bobby pin, "Hum..."
07[14:53] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and pulls a screwdriver from her mechanics kit. "Hey, Blast, you'll need one of these. Least both Precious and Jot did."
07[14:53] * +Mercury is off selling power cells for food.
07[14:53] * +Blastwave catches the screwdriver, "Maybe if I glare at locks they'll be so scared by my ugliness they'll open
[14:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3Boom responds after a short while, "Bucklyn Squad Six. Hold on just a second." There is a /two/(!) second pause, before he continues, "Status will be relayed to Bucklyn."
07[14:54] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles.
07[14:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head and chuckles
07[14:57] * +Blastwave "Scribe Boom... I like the sound of that."
15[14:57] * +Kirengo gives a small shrug at Clipped's smirk and a quiet chuckle at Blastwave before talking back into the radio. "Roger. We've also taken some battle wounds and we'll be spending a couple days fixing ourselves up. As well, there is a... medical... cybernetics facility that we have been requested to clear out for the Stable Thirty-Two leadership and doctors."
[15:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3Boom responds, "Copy and will transmit. Can you put Stable thirty-two leadership on the line for us?"
15[15:02] * +Kirengo "Yeah." He goes over and uses the intercom to get Primer up there for them to chit-chat.
07[15:02] * +Primer responds and shows up at communications a few minutes later.
07[15:03] * +Primer walks in. "Yeah?"
15[15:03] * +Kirengo looks at Primer. "Rangers wanna talk with you about the facility."
07[15:05] * +Primer rolls her eyes and walks up to the radio set. She picks the reciever up in one hoof/hand and speaks into it. "Overmare Primer, Stable 32 speaking."
[15:06] <~Zeph|GM> 3Boom puts S29 leadership on the line and after agreeing on collaboration in this matter, the operator comes back on the line and asks for Squad Six again.
04[15:07] * +Primer hoofs the reciever to Kirengo or whoever.
15[15:08] * +Kirengo smiles at Primer and takes the reciever back.
15[15:08] * +Kirengo "Squad Six."
[15:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Boom answers the radio, saying, "You have the go-ahead to help acquire the base from Split at Bucklyn. Celestiaspeed. Stable Twenty-Nine out."
15[15:15] * +Kirengo smirks as he puts the reciever back in wherever it's supposed to go. He looks back around at the group. "So we're good to go get the facility as soon as we can. Which... is as soon as Clipped can run in a straight line to be able to fix us when we get hurt."
04[15:16] * +Clipped_Cantle glances over at Kirengo and smiles at first... then sighs and lowers her head.
15[15:16] * +Kirengo blinks. "What?"
07[15:16] * +Primer smiles as she watches the yungsters run about their buisness. She wasnt missing it much.
07[15:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle
04[15:17] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Nothing, Kiren..." She glances down at her rebellious limbs and frowns.
07[15:18] * +Mercury comes back with food.
15[15:18] * +Kirengo "Um... alright." He's terribly confused. "Anyway... when Mercury gets back... you want to go do some sparring? Blastwave and Moon might enjoy watching..."
07[15:18] * +Primer pats Clipped on the shoulder. "You'll get the hang of it, don't worry."
15[15:18] * +Kirengo looks at Mercury. "Wow, great timing."
07[15:18] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "We would love to watch."
07[15:19] * +Mercury lifts an eyebrow and smirks. "Two sweaty stallions wrestling for our amusement? What is there not to enjoy?"
[15:20] <+Mercury> (Redact to mare and stallion)
07[15:21] * +Blastwave "Sweaty stallions? Count me in!"
04[15:21] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Primer. "Yeah... still annoying... but thanks. Again." She looks over at Kirengo and nods. "Yeah, sure." Recent events have convinced her knowing how to fight with her hooves would be.... beneficial. She smirks. "Just take it easy on me, alright?"
07[15:22] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "Yes, please do not hurt Clipped."
15[15:22] * +Kirengo snerks. "Well -I'll- be plenty sweaty." He nods at Clipped. "Yeah, I can tone it down if I need to." He accepts whatever food had been gotten for him from Mercury. "Alright... atrium and gym type area are... this way." He starts heading towards them. "Well, Moon, I won't hurt her... much. But we're sparring... there will be some pain."
07[15:23] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods "Of course, we understand...and we trust you not to hurt her...to much, we think..."
04[15:24] * +Blastwave snickers and thinks of so many jokes to make about Kiren's wrestling abilities he can't decide which to use
07[15:25] * +Primer smiles and pats Clipped again for reassurance, then she leaves the room. "I'll be in the cafeteria for the next two hours in case you need me."
04[15:25] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "I'll be alright." She glances at Kirengo and follows him.
04[15:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped and Kirengo
04[15:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3As they spar, Kirengo slips up and lands a solid blow to Clipped_Cantle's ribs, breaking the skin with the edges of his hooves and knocking the wind out of her - ...or would if she still had organic lungs.
04[15:30] * +Clipped_Cantle grunts and staggers back from the blow, clutching her side with a hoof. "Fuck, Kiren!"
07[15:31] * +Mercury hurries over. "Are you okay?"
07[15:31] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer winces and her eye twitches "C-clipped are you okay?" she says rushing over to her marefriend
15[15:32] * +Kirengo rights himself after landing the blow. "Shit! Sorry! I didn't... argh! Sorry, that one was too hard."
07[15:32] * +Blastwave winces, "Not so hard, how many times do I have to tell you..."
07[15:33] * +Clipped_Cantle grunts and nods at Mercury and Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Yeah, I'm alright... just bucking hurts." She sighs and pulls her hoof away from the wound to look at it. "Think I'm blee-" She stops and stares at the 'blood'. The blue blood.
07[15:34] * +Mercury cringes and looks up to Moonlight`s_Shimmer
15[15:34] * +Kirengo can't help but smirk a little, but he does keep himself from laughing. He looks at the wound, then lifts his hoof up and looks at the blue blood on that, too. "Hey... it's blue. That's neat."
07[15:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer quickly moves to Clipped's side and presses herself against her marefriend "Are you sure you are alright Clipped?"
04[15:36] * +Mercury looks over to Kirengo and facehoofs.
[15:36] <~Zeph|GM> 3The hoof-shaped wound slowly starts to seal itself over with a faint blue glow with pristine-looking coat as if it had never existed and the pain begins to dissipate.
04[15:37] * +Clipped_Cantle doesn't react to Moonlight`s_Shimmer's touch at all. Nor Kirengo's words, nor the fact that she can't feel the pain. She just stares at her hoof, which begins to shake a little.
15[15:37] * +Kirengo looks up at Mercury. "Wha-" he blinks and looks at the cybermare. "Uh... hey Clipped... wanna kick me back?"
07[15:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and quickly puts a wing and a foreleg over Clipped_Cantle, sitting down and holding her to her chest "Clipped..." she nuzzles Clipped's cheek and her ears droop
07[15:44] * +Clipped_Cantle groans and closes her eyes. Her hoof stays where it is, but the shaking spreads to her entire body. Goddesses... what was she?
07[15:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle again when she groans, and holds her, trying to calm her shaking. "Clipped...we are here."
15[15:47] * +Kirengo sighs and wipes his hoof off on his other foreleg. "Dangit..." He looks around at the others for any clue what to do.
07[15:48] * +Clipped_Cantle presses herself into Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "G-g-get... m-my armor..."
07[15:50] * +Blastwave looks around unsure what to do
04[15:51] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer glances briefly at Blastwave and Kirengo pleadingly when Clipped asks for her armor, then goes back to holding and nuzzling her mare
07[15:51] * +Mercury goes and gets her armor.
15[15:51] * +Kirengo helps get the armor.;
07[15:52] * +Blastwave goes to help with armour too!
07[15:53] * +Clipped_Cantle starts shaking even more. "S-shouldn't... blue... not blue..."
07[15:54] * +Clipped_Cantle groans and touches a hoof to her face. Blushing... it'd... you could tell she's... Armor... need armor...
07[15:55] * +Mercury wings Clipped_Cantle's helmet over. "Um..."
15[15:55] * +Kirengo hoofs the rest of the armor over with Blastwave. "It's just a color..."
07[15:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle close to her "The color of your blood does not make you more or less of a pony Clipped." she nuzzles Clipped_Cantle more then kisses her neck
07[15:58] * +Clipped_Cantle shudders, then glances at her armor. "I... it's... I don't want..." She sobs and tries to pull away from Moonlight`s_Shimmer to put on her armor.
15[15:58] * +Kirengo tries to help Clipped into her armor.
07[15:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer whimpers and murmers as Clipped pulls away, then tries to help her into her armor.
07[16:00] * +Mercury sits down. She realy could not argue against wanting to hide it. Merc was still hiding her stump after all.
07[16:00] * +Clipped_Cantle pauses in putting on her armor when she reaches the point she'd been hit... which was fully healed. "Oh... Goddesses..." She starts frantically putting on her armor.
07[16:01] * +Blastwave stands back and watches with a sigh
07[16:02] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "Clipped..." she helps her into her armor with her telekenesis, nuzzling her while doing so
07[16:04] * +Clipped_Cantle 's shaking starts to die off a little as soon as her helmet seals her inside once again. She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, starting to calm down. Safe inside... nopony can see her... see what she was. Ironic, considering the power armor made her look more robotic than her actual body does.
15[16:04] * +Kirengo stands back after Clipped finishes putting on the armor. "Really... just like... kick me back, or one of the bags, take your mind off it..."
04[16:05] * +Clipped_Cantle looks over at Kirengo with her helmeted head and glowing eyes, but says nothing.
07[16:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer plants a kiss on the top of Clipped's helmet and droops her ears more
07[16:07] * +Mercury sighs and pts her own helmet on. Made her feel safer when there was nothing that could be done with a pritty face.
15[16:07] * +Kirengo takes a step back. "Well it helps me..."
04[16:08] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then back to Kirengo. "I... uh... no, that's alright... nothing happened. Nothing."
15[16:09] * +Kirengo blinks. "What?"
07[16:11] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sighs, and presses herself against Clipped_Cantle despite her being in her armor
04[16:12] * +Clipped_Cantle just looks at Kirengo for a moment, then starts rooting around in her saddlebags. "Why would I want to buck you? We were... were... just sparring. Nothing happened." She didn't bleed blue... didn't freakily heal herself without any sort of medical aid.
07[16:12] * +Blastwave "Exactly, sparring, he hit you, then you hit him back."
15[16:13] * +Kirengo "Yeah... sparring... and I hit you harder than I should've and hurt you..." He still had a streak of blue blood on his foreleg where he'd wiped off his hoof.
07[16:13] * +Mercury goes to get a rag.
07[16:14] * +Clipped_Cantle glances at Blastwave. "No... we're done... now... right? That's... that's why I put on my armor... yeah. We're done..." She leans into Moonlight`s_Shimmer and sighs.
07[16:17] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer drapes a wing over Clipped_Cantle, feeling the cold steel of her armor
07[16:17] * +Blastwave "I wonder if we'd get a discount at a group therapy session due to the amount sheer amount of trauma we'd be bringing in..."
04[16:18] * +Mercury comes back with the rag and passes it to Kirengo. "If you are done, you may want to whipe your self off."
15[16:19] * +Kirengo "Clipped... we... I... you... do you seriously not remember?" He glances at Mercury and takes the rag and wipes the blood off his foreleg.
07[16:20] * +Mercury "Your mouth is talking. You may want to see to that too."
04[16:20] * +Clipped_Cantle glances over at Blastwave, then over to Mercury and Kirengo. Wipe himse- She blinks and looks away as he starts wiping off the blood. When the buck speaks she droops almost to the floor and starts sobbing.
15[16:21] * +Kirengo looks up at Mercury, mouth slightly agape. "Y-" He just swallows and finishes wiping off, looking back up a bit startled as Clipped_Cantle falls to the ground.
07[16:22] * +Blastwave looks between the two and emntally starts preparing Mercury obituary
07[16:23] * +Blastwave kills Clipped_Cantle
[16:23] <+Primer> ...
[16:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3...
[16:23] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> ...
15[16:24] <+Kirengo> ...
07[16:24] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kills Blastwave and everything ever. The end.
15[16:24] * +Kirengo thinks we've gotten far too silly.
[16:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Alright! Timeout, people!
[16:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Back up!
15[16:25] * +Kirengo motions for Mercury to go talk to Clipped.
07[16:25] * +Mercury walks over and sits next to Clipped_Cantle.
07[16:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle and nuzzles her neck, trying to comfort her
07[16:28] * +Clipped_Cantle presses herself into Moonlight`s_Shimmer and sobs. "It... I'm... what am I? This... blue blood... it.. it healed... Ponies don't do that.. not like that..."
15[16:29] * +Kirengo tosses the rag down and grumbles, mumbling, "Niambie kuacha kuzun'umza, hebu angalia nini unaweza kufanya kwa m'omo wako kubwa 'hana..."
07[16:29] * +Mercury "Clipped... Is Moon a pony?"
04[16:29] * +Blastwave remembers when he had blood... "You should teach me that language Kiren."
07[16:29] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle again "You are to a pony. You are just a cyberpony. That does not make you less of a pony."
15[16:29] <+Kirengo> (Tell me to stop talking, let's see what you can do with your big fancy mouth...)
15[16:30] * +Kirengo looks up at Blastwave. "It's not really all that hard."
07[16:30] * +Clipped_Cantle glances at Mercury. "Y-yes... she is. She's a pony." She glances at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "C-cyber...?"
07[16:31] * +Blastwave takes off his helmet, "Says you."
15[16:31] * +Kirengo keeps glancing back at the mares as they talk. "It's more context and sounds than anything..."
04[16:33] * +Blastwave blinks at Kirengo, "Isn't that... all languages?"
07[16:33] * +Mercury nods to Clipped_Cantle. "How about Blast?"
07[16:35] * +Clipped_Cantle furrows her brow and nods at Mercury, not getting where she's going with this.
07[16:36] * +Mercury "Blast bleeds black. Moon is twice our size. And they both magicly heal from radiation. You are no less pony than they are."
15[16:36] * +Kirengo "Equestrian has fight and struggle, zebra has kupambana and mapambano. Similar sounds mean similar things." He looks back at Mercury.
07[16:38] * +Blastwave nods slowly and looks over at Mercury, "I bleed black? I guess I never really checked...
07[16:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods "Yes...we believe that is what the term is called Clipped." Moon nuzzles Clipped again "You are a cyberpony. A pony that has been enhanced with the use of technology."
04[16:41] * +Clipped_Cantle lowers her head a second, then glances over at Blastwave. She... he was a ghoul, but she'd never thought of him as something other than a pony... well, except when he almost ate Precious. She looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and just stares. Cyber...pony. /Pony/... Her gaze shifts to Kirengo and she remembers the talk they'd had last night. It was still.. her. Just... She looks back to...
07[16:41] * +Clipped_Cantle ...Moon... and nods. "Cyberpony... I... that's still... a pony, I guess... a weird, freaky one... but..."
15[16:42] * +Kirengo "I could shorten the nickname of the squad if you want..."
07[16:43] * +Blastwave sighs. Try to eat /one/ pony and you never live it down
04[16:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "We believe Kirengo has called us something like...freaks and an earth pony. So now we are all freaks? We think...? Don't worry Clipped, being a freak is not so bad."
07[16:44] * +Blastwave nods at the statement, "Yeah, being a freak isn't so bad."
04[16:45] * +Mercury looks over to Kirengo and facehooves. She takes off the boot of her armor and chucks it at the zebra as if her were a yowling cat. She looks back to Clipped_Cantle, smiling. "Exactly. You are still a pony."
[16:45] <+Mercury> he*
04[16:46] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and looks over at Kirengo. She stares at him for a long moment, then giggles. When Moon speaks she chuckles, and when Blastwave speaks she bursts out laughing.
15[16:46] * +Kirengo winces as the boot hits him to the head and falls to the ground. "Ouch!"
07[16:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle and blinks "What is so funny...?"
04[16:47] * +Blastwave looks at Kirengo, "You totally deserved that."
07[16:47] * +Clipped_Cantle pulls her helmet off and kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer, still chuckling.
07[16:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and kisses Clipped_Cantle back, blinking
07[16:48] * +Mercury nods again. "There we go. No need to hide that pritty face from anything but bullets."
15[16:48] * +Kirengo "I did n-" He just shuts up.
15[16:51] * +Kirengo looks over at Clipped_Cantle and sees she is laughing and now kissing. "Can we go back to banging each other now?"
04[16:51] * +Clipped_Cantle breaks the kiss with Moon and nuzzles her, then glances at Mercury and blushes. She turns back to Moon and smiles at her. "Eh, who cares if I'm a freak? Nopony I care about." She nuzzles her marefriend again, then smirks at Kirengo. "You know I'm gay, too."
04[16:51] * +Blastwave blushes and looks at Kirengo, "Wait what?"
04[16:51] * +Mercury smirks over her shoulder to Kirengo. "That is Blastwave's job, sweetie."
15[16:52] * +Kirengo blinks then facewings. He's also hiding his blush.
07[16:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped back smiling then blinks
07[16:53] * +Mercury snickers.
04[16:54] * +Clipped_Cantle perks up and smiles. "Oh, that reminds me. I never gave you your lube." She giggles and reaches into her bag, pulling out a small tube. She trots over to Kirengo and holds it out to him, grinning.
[16:54] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We are gay as well...we do not see the relevance of this conversation..." she then watches Clipped and chuckles
07[16:54] * +Blastwave puts his helmet back on to hide the fact he is turning bright red. He now hates Clipped. Foreeeeveeeer
07[16:55] * +Mercury snickers and gets her boot.
15[16:55] * +Kirengo runs his wing down his head, revealing his very very very red face. "T-thanks..." He reaches out to grab the lube.
04[16:55] * +Clipped_Cantle snickers as Kirengo takes the tube. Written on the side are the words 'Hamburger Helper'.
15[16:58] * +Kirengo just stares at the lube for a minute before bursting into laughter because yes.
07[16:59] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer just blinks. She is so confused
07[16:59] * +Mercury bursts out laughing.
04[17:01] * +Clipped_Cantle laughs along with Kirengo. "Think we're even, now."
07[17:03] * +Blastwave is giggling like mad inside his helmet.
07[17:03] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer gives up and just chuckles
15[17:05] * +Kirengo looks back at the lube, his whole face red, and reads it again. "S-something like that."
07[17:06] * +Mercury puts her boot back on and walks back to Moonlight`s_Shimmer and Clipped_Cantle, still snickering.
04[17:10] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks at Kirengo. "Anyway." She pulls up her HUD, without a wince or care this time, and checks her status. "Yeah, I'm alright. Still need to eat and drink some more. And... recharge the thing that healed me, apparently. It's pretty drained." She snorts at Kirengo, but she's still smiling. "I don't think I'm up to getting beat on you by anymore today."
[17:11] <+Clipped_Cantle> swap that by and you
07[17:13] * +Blastwave just cant words right now
15[17:14] * +Kirengo tosses the lube at Blastwave then wipes at his muzzle with his fetlock, as if he was trying to rub the blush away. "Yeah, okay. Well, there's tomorrow and well... whenever in the future." He looks back at Clipped. "And uh... I was told to hug you back."
04[17:14] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Kirengo. "Huh? Hug me back?"
15[17:15] * +Kirengo "After you hugged everyone this morning."
07[17:15] * +Blastwave tucks the lube away as quickly as possible
07[17:15] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles and hugs Clipped_Cantle, glad that she's finally accepted her new body.
04[17:17] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at Kirengo, then nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Heh, sure. I could use another hug." She sits and holds her forelegs out toward Kirengo while leaning back into Moon.
15[17:18] * +Kirengo raises an eyebrow slightly before stepping forward and giving Clipped a hug. It's awkward... especially since she's in armor and he isn't, but hey, at least he's trying, right?
04[17:18] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles and hugs Kirengo back. Yeah, it's the thought that counts.
15[17:19] * +Kirengo steps back after the hug and clears his throat. "Right... food?"
07[17:20] * +Mercury cracks her fetlocks and pulls out her new book. "Time to try this thing out then."
07[17:20] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and picks up her helmet. She contemplates putting it on, but just hangs it from her armor instead. "Yeah, sure." She blinks and looks at Mercury. "Huh?"
07[17:22] * +Mercury "I figure that if I am going to be living down here, I had best learn how to, you know, not die."
15[17:23] * +Kirengo peers over at the book. "Oh, you found one of those... Yeah... some good tips and stuff in there."
07[17:23] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks at Mercury. "Yeah, that'd be helpful, but what I mean is how're you going to use it and what's that got to do with food?"
07[17:25] * +Mercury "Food that is safe to eat. Thing that are okay to hunt and the like."
07[17:27] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Mercury. "Yeah, I've read that book. So are you planning on going hunting, then?"
07[17:28] * +Blastwave follows along still unable to works
[17:28] <+Blastwave> words
15[17:28] * +Kirengo nods. "Yeah, good pick up there..." He turns and heads towards food.
07[17:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "We would like to read it after you are done Mercury."
07[17:36] * +Blastwave studies bobby pins during the time skip
07[17:40] * +Mercury nods. "Yep." She looks to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Sure."
07[17:45] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles at Mercury then levitates out a bottle and guzzles it
[17:52] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> And then, time was skipped
07[17:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer buys food
07[17:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer feeds Clipped_Cantle
07[17:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer buys 10 things of cram and 5 things of water.
07[17:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer /then/ feeds Clipped_Cantle
15[17:58] * +Kirengo will remember next time to pick up their food and water off of their boat... he was just kind of in a hurry to make sure his entire town and family weren't dead at the time. Which... didn't work out quite as hoped.
[17:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3The group heads out and makes it's way towards their destination, though the ruins of Manehattan, finding them gloomily empty and mostly lifeless, save for a few blips here and there, but not encountering much for most of the first day of travel.
[17:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3As dusk starts to roll over the city of Manehattan, bathing it in twilight, the road in front of the group leads in-between two dilapidated skyscrapers leaning into each other. The buildings look like they'd stay like that for a good long while longer, considering how they'd held up for centuries in that position,...
04[17:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3...casting a field of shadow on the road between them. Kirengo could swear to seeing an unmarked, white door in the side the left building and another in the side of the right one, although as real as they seem, nobody else can see them.
[17:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3You EFS don't show anything out of the ordinary, displaying a few red blips here and there as always.
[18:00] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> Shadow is in your PnP...
15[18:01] * +Kirengo slows his trot down into a walk. He looks from the left door to the right door... Door... white... He stops and points to the two areas. "Something's not right."
04[18:02] * +Clipped_Cantle slows down as well and glances around, checking her EFS. "What's up, Kiren?"
04[18:02] * +Mercury looks over to Kirengo. "Huh?"
07[18:02] * +Blastwave floats to a stop and nods. he rises into the air a bit to get a better look
15[18:03] * +Kirengo "Those doors..." Let's go with a half lie, shall we? "I've seen them before. Just... be careful."
04[18:04] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at Kirengo. "Which doors?" She looks around at the surrounding buildings.
07[18:05] * +Mercury tilts her head. "Umm... there aren't any doors there."
07[18:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stops and blinks, tilting her head
15[18:06] * +Kirengo blinks and points again. "The two white doors. Right there and there."
07[18:06] * +Blastwave looks for the doors and slowly lands, "There are no doors, dear..."
04[18:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head "Kirengo, are you okay? We thinking you may be imagining things."
15[18:08] * +Kirengo puts his hoof down. "I'm fine... and I'm not imagining things... just... be careful." He starts to slowly walk forward again, keeping a keen eye out to spot anything out of the ordinary.
07[18:09] * +Mercury tenses a bit, scanning around on her EFS.
04[18:09] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks around, then looks back at Kirengo a bit concerned
04[18:10] * +Clipped_Cantle stares at Kirengo, then shakes her head. "Alright then..." She follows after him, thinking he's being a little crazy... but she keeps an eye out anyway. Better safe than sorry.
04[18:11] * +Blastwave lands beside Kirengo, "Are you sure you're okay? Maybe you're dehydrated..."
15[18:12] * +Kirengo continues walking. "I'm -fine-. Blast... you remember that one story I told you on the boat about that canyon I went through with the ghouls?"
07[18:13] * +Blastwave nods, "Yeah, I remember a little, why?" He is keeping an eye out too, just in case
04[18:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3The door to the right smiles at Kirengo. How? It just somehow does, remaining technically featureless. A feeling of subtly induced fear starts to creep up from the ground, being felt by everyone and not only the zebra.
[18:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Mercury and Clipped Cantle's EFS show nothing out of the ordinary. A blip here and there and - oh... no blips anymore... Not even from the people directly beside them.
07[18:14] * +Clipped_Cantle stops dead in her tracks. "Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa."
15[18:14] * +Kirengo "Because I think this is that again." He stops as his spine tingles and leaps up into the air, hovering above the ground.
07[18:14] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shudders "We have felt a disturbance..."
07[18:14] * +Blastwave blinks, "Woah..." he slowes down, "Something is wrong, it reminds me of right before I died..."
[18:15] <+Clipped_Cantle> "EFS just went blank. Can't even see you guys on it..." She shivers and looks around.
07[18:15] * +Mercury backpedals to get the dots back.
07[18:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer moves closer to Clipped_Cantle, her presence comforting her
07[18:17] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head and takes a step back, looking up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "I don't like this. Let's go another way."
07[18:18] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods slowly "W-we think t-that would be a good idea." she says looking around nervously
15[18:18] * +Kirengo "Around... but it's too late to go around... may just have to pick a spot and stay the night, go around in the morning..."
07[18:20] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Yeah, let's... let's backtrack a bit, find a place to hunker down for the night, then go around in the morning." Honestly, the loss of EFS was enough that she doesn't realize the fear is externally produced.
07[18:20] * +Mercury "Here? Are you crazy?"
07[18:20] * +Blastwave "So... what is this?"
07[18:20] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head, trying to clear it "This is silly, we should just continue onwards."
15[18:21] * +Kirengo is still looking around for threats. "Here? No. Backtrack a bit away from whatever this is, because I have no idea what this is, and then go around in the morning. Because I don't want to get caught out and deal with bloodwings again."
04[18:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3There's a crinkling sound as the ground starts to become covered by thin veins of ice, cracking the centuries-old asphalt even more that it had previously been. A ponyhole cover turns into a door for Kirengo, aligned with the asphalt. It cracks open a bit and a brilliant white unicorn comes out of it, with a smile on its(not his/her) face like the door had. Nobody else sees it however.
15[18:24] * +Kirengo spins and looks at the new door and the unicorn. "What the heck."
07[18:24] * +Blastwave leaps off the ground when it becomes ice and hovers above it, "The hell."
07[18:24] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Better to play it safe, Moon. It's late and I have no idea what is going on. My EFS is out as well. Too risky, Moon." She stop and blinks at the ice, starting to back up. "Yeah, yeah. Time to go. Very much time to go."
07[18:24] * +Mercury rears up and flaps her wing rappidly. "Ground, bad. Ground, bad. Ground, bad."
07[18:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer does the same as Blastwave, "What magic is this?!" she looks around frantically
04[18:36] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo sees several ponies much in color and expression like the unicorn, beginning to mill about the street. Everyone else sees these ponies however ...as hungry-looking ghouls. The unicorn opens it's maw and lets out a ghoulish screech that everyone can hear,...
04[18:36] <~Zeph|GM> 3...before enveloping itself in a black ball of something that Kirengo get the feeling he should not touch, ever and looses a blast of ice in his direction, chilling him to the bone with the icy magics, causing him to look like an armored snowzebra.
07[18:37] * +Blastwave groans, "First ghouls I met try to kill me! STOP BEING RACIST!"
07[18:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer quickly raises her shield, glancing around at the ghouls frantically
04[18:39] * +Clipped_Cantle glances around at all the ghouls, then leaps back when Kirengo gets covered in ice. "What the buck?!?"
15[18:43] * +Kirengo gives a short yelp as he's hit in the head with... ice? What the heck? That really hurt... and now his whole body felt heavier...
07[18:43] * +Mercury "Aaagh!" She wants, very much to be in the air.
[18:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Reavers start to swarm towards the group, two lunging for Mercury and two for Clipped_Cantle, screeching and snapping at the two mares, one of the Reavers attempting to bite a hold of Mercury's remaining wing.
04[18:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3The thing that attacked Kirengo still smiling somehow, letting loose two more blasts of ice at him.
04[18:57] <~Zeph|GM> 3The one blast of magic that hits Kirengo washes over him with bitter coldness, this time focusing on his left hindleg.
[19:09] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Reavers bite and pound Clipped_Cantle with their decrepit teeth and hooves, one of them starting to gnaw on her right foreleg with an undead fervor, while it's buddy pounds at her chest and helmet inefficiently.
[19:09] <~Zeph|GM> 3The undead pony hounding Mercury bites at her leg and chest viciously, while it's companion snaps a bone in Mercury's wing and starts tugging at it, leaking foul ichor onto it from it's horrid muzzle.
07[19:17] * +Mercury shreaks as her wing is half riped off.
07[19:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer lands back on the ground then casts a storm cloud that starts to form above the party, as well as spirit of flames on Clipped_Cantle's weapon, the weapon glowing for a moment as it's incendiary imbuement takes effect
07[19:20] * +Clipped_Cantle curses and shakes her hoof as the ghouls bite at her. She barely even winces from it. "What the fuck is going on? Where's that ice coming fro-" She stops and winces as Mercury's bone snaps and the mare screams.
07[19:22] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and glances at her gun. "Huh?"
[19:23] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We have imbued your weapon Clipped, it will do extra damage and light them on fire." she winces when she sees Mercury getting eated
15[19:27] * +Kirengo yelps again as he's frozen once more. He points right at where the unicorn was and the blasts of cold had come from. "Something right there! Blow it up!"
04[19:28] * +Blastwave looks at where Kirengo is pointing, and looks at Mercury. Alright, he's got this.
[19:32] <~Zeph|GM> 3The three of Roamers screech and wail on Moonlight`s_Shimmer's shield, while the lone other one attempts to tackle Clipped_Cantle to the ground.
[19:39] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Roamers attacking Moonlight`s_Shimmer are about as effective as expected, doing effectively nothing whatsoever to the shielded Alicorn.
[19:39] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Roamer attempting to tackle Clipped_Cantle mistakes the ground for her, smashing it's face into the asphalt with a meaty and bony smack, losing several teeth.
04[19:40] * +Blastwave turns to where Kirengo pointed and throws an HE grenade in that general direction.
04[19:44] <~Zeph|GM> 3The High Explosive grenade blasts a crater into the asphalt, causing the unicorn to stumble to the side, continuing to smile at Kirengo.
07[19:45] * +Blastwave looks around, "Did I hit it, or did I just waste a hundred caps?!"
15[19:45] * +Kirengo lifts one hindleg up and aims his shotguns at the unicorn and uses his other hindleg to hit the trigger. "You hit it!"
07[19:45] * +Blastwave "Why are you dancing?"
04[19:58] <~Zeph|GM> 3The blast of the shotgun cracks loudly the muzzle-flash illuminating the flechettes that blast into Kirengo's other bucker, damaging it up badly, although it still is functional.
[19:58] <~Zeph|GM> 3His second attempts fares better, ripping into the unicorn's right foreleg, leaving it apparently unharmed as it's appearance doesn't waver, ever-smiling.
07[19:58] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then grins and spins toward Mercury. Completely ignoring the ghouls ineffectively attacking her, she takes careful aim at the head of the ghoul nomming on Mercury's wing, then bites her trigger reign.
[20:00] <~Zeph|GM> 3The shot whizzes past the Reaver's ear, singing it a little, without it seeming to notice.
07[20:03] * +Clipped_Cantle fires another wild shot at the things head, screaming at the top of her lungs.
[20:05] <~Zeph|GM> 3The second bullet whizzes past Mercury's ear this time, slamming into the asphalt, where it angrily burns like pissed-off magical candle.
07[20:10] * +Mercury triggers one of her healing potions and twists around, aiming for the one chewing her wing, fires, shifts around and fires into the other one.
07[20:16] * +Mercury pops off a last wild shot on the one in front of her.
[20:18] <~Zeph|GM> 3The searing blasts of plasma burn into the hungry ghouls's chests, burning the one in front of Mercury to the point of causing it to collapse twitching and leaking ichor onto the frozen ground.
07[20:21] * +Blastwave graahs as this is not going as his plan doesn't work so he chucks a grenade at the feral ghouls charging at Mercury
[20:25] <~Zeph|GM> 3The grenade practically vaporizes the first ghoul, knocking the one hit by the splash damage and knocked to the side, flailing his limbs.
[20:26] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Feral ghouls completely inefficiently gnaw their teeth out on Clipped_Cantle with complete and utter futility.
[20:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Reavers on Clipped_Cantle snap and bite at her little legs, while the undead beast on Mercury gives a viscous tug, ripping it out of it's socket, leaving it supported by strands of muscle and flesh as it starts to feast on it's quarry, beginning to eat splinters of bone, feathers, flesh and all.
04[20:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Unicorn aims at Kirengo and then Blastwave with it's next two icy blasts.
07[20:36] * +Blastwave blinkly blinks, "Well fuck."
07[20:36] * +Mercury shrieks and drops to her knees, tears filling her eyes.
07[20:37] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer winces as Mercury's wing gets ripped off...
07[20:38] * +Clipped_Cantle curses, still ignoring the ghouls around her. "Fuck! Merc!"
04[20:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3The first blast impacts on Kirengo's right foreleg, while Blastwave takes the brunt of the cold force to his face.
07[20:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's horn glows and four lightning blasts come down from the cloud, directed at the ghouls (three at the one on Mercury, one on one of the other reavers near Clipped)
[21:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3The first lightning blast rips though the ghoul feasting on Mercury's detached appendage, sending it jumping and convulsing, crumpling in an electrified heap.
[21:03] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Roamers continue to pound on Moonlight`s_Shimmer's shield, the one on Clipped_Cantle attempting to tackle her again.
15[21:03] * +Kirengo continues pointing at this freaky unicorn's position for Blastwave to spot.
[21:06] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Roamers wail on Moonlight`s_Shimmer's shield, one of them slipping off it's surface and falling into an angry, undead heap.
07[21:07] * +Blastwave chucks another HE grenade at that creepy thing because he has no bucking idea how injured it is, but can totally feel it's chill.
[21:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Roamer attempting to tackle Clipped_Cantle repeats his no-success streak of 2.
[21:12] <~Zeph|GM> 3The High Explosive Grenade lands by the unicorns left hind-leg, sending the unicorn cartwheeling to the side, where it lands in a smiling heap.
04[21:12] * +Blastwave looks at Kirengo, "Is it dead!?!"
[21:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3Three Roamers are attacking Moonlight`s_Shimmer's shield, while the two remaining Reavers are gnawing on Clipped_Cantle, along with two other Feral ghouls.
15[21:14] * +Kirengo looks at the smiling heap and shivers... not just cause he was covered in ice, but because that fricken thing was fricken creepy... frick... "I guess?!" He looks around and takes in the position of the ghouls.
07[21:16] * +Blastwave aims at, lets say, the reavers attacking Clipped, using his magical quad core laser power. The second shot is snapped, or whatever
15[21:16] <+Kirengo> wild*

15[21:26] <+Kirengo> ~~Day 18~~
[21:26] <~Zeph|GM> 3The shots Blastwave fires into the Reaver burn through it's armor and heavily singe it's insides, while Mercury manages to stay conscious.
15[21:28] * +Kirengo flies back over and picks Mercury up off the ground and into the sky, away from ghouls.
04[21:33] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo manages to pick up Mercury, managing to take her away from the ground and away from the ghouls.
07[21:33] * +Clipped_Cantle cycles the bolt on her rifle, then aims at the Reaver Blastwave had shot and fires.
07[21:34] * +Mercury just sort of hangs limp.
[21:36] <~Zeph|GM> 3The incendiary bullet slams into the Reaver's torso and lights the creature up with magical flame, causing it to screech even louder if that were possible.
07[21:39] * +Mercury narrows her eyes, triggers a potion and fires off three blasts at the reavers fighting Clipped_Cantle, two on the less wounded of the two and the third on the burning one.
07[21:44] * +Mercury fires off a snap shot on the burning one as well.
[21:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Most of Mercury's shots go wide, but the final ones find their mark in the Burning Reaver's chest, causing the screeching to stop as it crumples into a burning heap, crackling with magical fire.
[21:49] <~Zeph|GM> 3The remaining Reaver retches and spews green, glowing mucus at Clipped_Cantle twice, before lunging forward to bite her, while the Feral ghouls continue to be useless.
[21:52] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Reaver gags and starts dribbling the acidic mucus out of it's maw, while it totters, failing to attack Clipped_Cantle effectively at all.
04[21:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3The unicorn rights itself and sends a blast of ice at Blastwave and then sends another at him, since it can't reach Kirengo, screeching now for all to hear.
[22:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3The icy magic hits Blastwave in his face and right hindleg, also coloring him a frosty white, while he feels cold sluggishness affect him.
07[22:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer snarls, letting off one final lightning blast from the cloud at one of the reavers, then two lightning blasts at them from her horn
[22:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Reavers head explodes in a shower of gore, spraying Moonlight`s_Shimmer's shield and Clipped_Cantle with droplets of foul ichor, plinking pieces of bone off the armor.
[22:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Roamers continue to wail on Moonlight's Shimmer's shield while the Roamer with the toothless smile (or would if he smiled) attempts the maneuver a third time, trying to tackle the tiny cybermare.
[22:18] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Roamers wailing on Moonlight`s_Shimmer's shield do basically nothing, trying to get to the tasty-looking OPcorn inside. Their companion however manages to epically fail at tackling Clipped_Cantle, landing itself on it's rump, screeching angrily.
07[22:19] * +Clipped_Cantle thinks that ghoul should just give up.
07[22:20] * +Blastwave throws another fucking HE greande (this better work!) and flies away. All the way. like out of range, or I swear...
07[22:20] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer scoffs at the ghouls "You are all pathetic and weak!"
04[22:28] <~Zeph|GM> 3The blast rips the unicorn apart, limb from flying limb as it becomes visible to the naked eye, outside of Kirengo: A ghoulified unicorn that lacks half of it's head, most of it's guts and all of it's legs, all of which are scattered here and there, with the ghoul's ichor everywhere.
07[22:29] * +Blastwave sticks out his tongue and makes the ptthhhb sound, "Screw you!"
15[22:31] * +Kirengo looks back at the blast and sets Mercury back down on the ground. He then flying tackles that ghoul that kept trying to tackle Clipped. Show him how it's really done.
07[22:31] * +Mercury crumples to her knees.
04[22:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo slams into the Roamer, skidding with it for a foot, before pinning it with his overwhelming strength.
04[22:36] * +Blastwave stares at Kirengo laying on top of the ghoul, "Kiren, you whore!"
07[22:38] * +Clipped_Cantle fires her rifle of fiery doom at one of the Roamers attacking Moon's shield, then turns and tries to buck one of the useless Ferals.
[22:43] <~Zeph|GM> 3The fiery bullet brings exactly what it says on the tin, burning a sizzling trail of magical fire though the chest of one of the Roamers attacking Moonlight`s_Shimmer, causing it to drop in a single shot.
13[22:47] * +Mercury ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[22:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped Cantle attempts to buck the Feral, missing and tottering a little, although she has no problems remaining upright.
[22:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Ferals do nothing. They are a complete waste of space ...in space.
06[22:57] * kashin ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[22:57] * ChanServ sets mode: +v kashin
06[22:57] * kashin is now known as Mercury
07[22:59] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer levitates out her revolver and opens up the top of her shield, floating it outside of the shield and letting off three shots at the roamers
[23:06] <~Zeph|GM> 3The first bullet hits the Roamer in question in the right hind-leg and the second rips a nasty hole in the second undead's torso, causing it to hiss and screech in response.
15[23:08] * +Kirengo calls back at Blastwave as he lifts his hoof up to prepare to do untold damage to this ghoul's face, "What can I say, it looked sexy sitting like that!"
07[23:10] * +Blastwave rolls his eyes and aims for the closest... thing and shoots three shots from his battle-y saddles
[23:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Roamers are useless. Seriously. Soooo useless. Can't even have a snack! Steel! Magic! Where's the flesh!? Oh. There it is. The Roamer with his leg shot though makes for Mercury's wing, as it is targeted by Blastwave.
15[23:15] * +Kirengo crushes the ghoul's head with his hooves.
[23:16] <~Zeph|GM> 3Blastwave's shots go wide, but that's ok, since he wasn't trying to hit the ghoul anyway and was really just having fun pissing away ammo~ ...wow, that sounds a lot more dick-ish than I had intended...
04[23:25] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo turns the ghoul's head into a rough, bony paste in an explosion of gore rather similar to a previously witnessed one, involving an Enclave Recon mare, the blood bring ichor this time instead.
07[23:25] * +Clipped_Cantle fires a shot at the ghoul going for what was left of Mercury's wing. "Fuck that!"
[23:27] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped's shot narrowly misses the Ghoul by a narrow margin, hitting Mercury's wing instead and setting it alight in a magical blaze.
07[23:31] * +Mercury wimpers.
07[23:31] * +Clipped_Cantle stares at the flaming wing. "Oh... fuck... no..." She slumps. No... she might've... she could've saved it... maybe...
07[23:33] * +Blastwave tries to smother out the flaming wing by smothering it with his armoured body
07[23:35] * +Blastwave doesn't do that then because apparently logic is not a thing
07[23:35] * +Mercury numbely fires an aimed shot at the ghoul at her burning wing.
15[23:36] * +Kirengo gets up and kills the ferals.
07[23:36] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer does that too
04[23:37] * +Blastwave can't really but tries with lazers. Mostly he goes over to Mercury, "I'm so sorry. W-we can, karina, she can make a talisman."
[23:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3Mercury nails (energy-thingies?) the ghoul in the head, burning a nasty hole through and into his brain, knocking him over, dead.
07[23:38] * +Clipped_Cantle just sits there, staring at the burning wing and glancing over at Mercury every so often with her head held low.
15[23:39] * +Kirengo looks around after the ghouls are dead for doors and creepy ghouls and such. "What the buck was that?!"
07[23:39] * +Mercury takes off her helmet and drops it on the ground.
04[23:40] * +Blastwave looks over at that Kirengo, "Frost the weather ghoul decided to pay us a visit."
07[23:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer moves over to Clipped_Cantle and hugs her, speechless
04[23:40] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo spies no doors, smiling or otherwise.
[23:41] <+Clipped_Cantle> "I'm... fucking sorry, Merc... I... I..."
15[23:41] * +Kirengo quickly looks around for a building that's suitably intact to spend the night in.
07[23:42] * +Mercury starts shucking off the rest of her armor without a word.
04[23:43] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo finds such a building with little trouble, mostly-intact houses being in abundance here.
[23:43] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~SESSION 12 END~~~~~~
[23:43] <~Zeph|GM> 3For assorted checks, good RP and critfail-tastic combat everyone receives 3000XP!
07[23:43] * +Blastwave carefully puts a hoof on Mercury, "Please, let us get you inside first. It'll be safer."
[23:43] <~Zeph|GM> 3No Karma.
[23:43] <~Zeph|GM> 10Mercury gains the quest perk, "Well ain't that a buck to the head.": You may use boots as projectile weapons with a range of STRx5 and a damage of STR+1d10. The roll to hit with this attack is based on Speech.
15[23:44] * +Kirengo takes to the air again and looks over the group, pointing at the house. "Guys, guys, let's get inside and talk there. Bloodwings are about to wake up."
[23:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3The group gets a Trauma-Bonus of 1500XP!
07[23:45] * +Mercury just shakes her head.
07[23:45] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and noses at Clipped_Cantle's neck
07[23:46] * +Blastwave blinks at Mercury, "Well this is not up for debate. Come on." He will drag Mercury if he must
07[23:46] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, but remains silent.
07[23:47] * +Mercury is drug, leavingher helmet behind and keeps shuckign her gear off inside.
07[23:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer gives Clipped_Cantle a weak smile then kisses her muzzle "You did good Clipped. Let us go inside, where it is safe."
07[23:48] * +Blastwave hasn't actually done that yet, but sure, why not, then he goes back and grabs Mercury's gear
15[23:49] * +Kirengo "Fricken..." He flies down and is beaten to Merc's gear by Blast. Instead he just picks up the wing. "C'mon c'mon c'mon everybody in." He follows Blastwave and Mercury into the house.
07[23:49] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and gets to her hooves, but heads over to check on Mercury's wing... she doesn't expect it to be savable in the slightest, but she has to check.
07[23:50] * +Blastwave flops down as soon as he gets inside and holds his head, "You know what sucks. Everything."
07[23:50] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer droops her ears and follows Clipped_Cantle
04[23:51] * +Clipped_Cantle instead follows Kirengo inside, having been ninja'd.
13[23:52] * ~Zeph|GM ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
15[23:52] * +Kirengo totally sets the wing down and lets Clipped_Cantle look at it after he gets inside the house. He pulls his own helmet off and rubs over his face with a torn wing. "Yes."
07[23:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shuts the door behind them if there is one. If there isn't then she doesn't.
15[23:53] <+Kirengo> There would be one, yes.
07[23:57] * +Blastwave lowers his head and groans. "I'm sorry Merc..."
07[23:57] * +Clipped_Cantle just stares at Mercury's devastated wing. Might've been able to save it... before the fire... maybe. Now? There was nothing she could do. It's gone. Could've saved it... twice. Screwed it up. She slumps and moves to the corner of the room furthest from Mercury and just looks down at the floor.
07[23:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer slumps down next to Clipped_Cantle and drapes a wing over her
07[23:59] * +Mercury takes off the last of her armor and uniform before pushing it away from her.
Session Time: Sun Sep 09 00:00:00 2012
07[00:00] * +Clipped_Cantle tries to scoot away from Moonlight`s_Shimmer, but there isn't any room in the corner to do so. "Moon... go... go help Merc."
15[00:01] * +Kirengo gives a long sigh. "On the bright side, at least my warning was right?"
07[00:01] * +Blastwave "Next time we get a freaky warning, I suggest we go the other way."
07[00:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head as her ears droop as much as they possibly can "There is nothing we can do for her...but we can comfort you."
15[00:02] * +Kirengo "Agreed." He looks over at Mercury. "Look, we're going back to Thirty-Two in the morning. I'll ask my mom about a talisman."
07[00:03] * +Blastwave nods at Mercury, "I promise you, I wont rest until you get your wings back."
07[00:03] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "I'll be fine... go comfort her."
07[00:03] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head "We do not...exactly...know how..."
07[00:06] * +Clipped_Cantle looks away from Moonlight`s_Shimmer without saying anything. Eventually she gets up and trots to a different room.
07[00:06] * +Mercury snuffles. "At least I have the other..." She looks over to her other wing, that was not there. She could have sworn she really felt it that time. "Oh... right."
15[00:07] * +Kirengo "You'll have both back..."
07[00:07] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer reaches a hoof out to Clipped as she gets up to leave but then just sets it down and hangs her head. She slumps down into the corner and begins to weep silently.
04[00:09] * +Blastwave nods, "Yeah, we'll talk to Karina tomorrow. It's been a long day, and you're injured. Just get some rest, and tomorrow we'll start on the path of getting you back. I promise."
07[00:11] * +Mercury does not put her gear back on. "Not a pegasus." She flops down and curls up.
07[00:12] * +Blastwave sighs, "And Clipped is not a pony, and I'm not alive."
04[00:12] * +Clipped_Cantle sits in the other room and stares at her rifle. Piece of garbage. Worthless piece of trash... and she'd even improved it. Did it matter? No. Still couldn't save Merc... destroyed her wing even. Fucked up that weapon of Kiren's, too. Oh yeah, and those improvements... hell, was barely able to do her 'improvements' after she fucked that up too.
15[00:13] * +Kirengo glances at Blastwave. "I think you screwed that one up somewhere, dear." He looks back at Mercury. "You can still walk on clouds and do other pegasus things. You're still a pegasus."
07[00:14] * +Blastwave holds his head, it really hurt. "Pegasi aren't just wings. We're more than that..."
07[00:15] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head. She was supposed to be out here helping, bettering herself. Instead she nearly choked herself with a bandage, sewed Blast's wingholes shut, nearly dropped a boat on herself... she sighs. Who was she kidding? She curls up in a ball in the corner. Some friend she was.
07[00:15] * +Mercury looks up a little, but does not say anything.
04[00:17] * +Blastwave sighs, "I mean, Kirengo has wings, but he's not a pegasus. Each race is different, in both subtle and unsubtle ways. Just because you lost your wings doesn't mean you're not a pegasus, it means you're a badass who puts herself on the line to do what's right, and also a pegasus. I think anyway."
15[00:17] * +Kirengo "Look, I've got wings. Doesn't make me a pegasus. I can barely do alchemy to save my life... doesn't make me not a zebra. Just cause you don't have wings -right now- doesn't mean you're not a pegasus. And you'll have those wings back soon anyway."
07[00:22] * +Mercury "I... I know... It's just-" She sets her head back on her fetlocks. "I want to go home..."
15[00:24] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave to deal with that one. He couldn't. He then looks around for Clipped.
07[00:24] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer tucks her head into her forelegs and continues to sob silently, covering her face up with a wing. Even now after being out of unity for awhile, she still didn't have enough knoweledge of 'normal' interaction to know what to do in this situation. So she just cries.
07[00:25] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and takes off her helmet, setting it down and looking at the AJ Ranger symbology. Some Ranger she was, too. Nearly betrayed them the first time her loyalty was tested. She knocks the helmet away with a hoof and debates climbing out of the armor... but decides against it. She may be a shitty Ranger but she still made an oath. She was still alive and no Elder had released her.
07[00:25] * +Blastwave sighs, "I'm sorry, if it was possible I would help you go home but..."
15[00:27] * +Kirengo gets up and looks through the house for Clipped, finally walking into the room she had ended up in. "Hey, Clipped."
04[00:27] * +Clipped_Cantle looks over at Kirengo, expressionless. "Yeah?"
07[00:27] * +Mercury finishes. "But we don't even know if home is still there. And  even if it is, it won't take us back."
15[00:28] * +Kirengo "We sort of need our medic."
07[00:29] * +Blastwave nods, "Then... then we need to make a new home."
04[00:30] * +Clipped_Cantle pulls the four healing potions in her bandoleer out and sets them on the floor one by one. "Nah, Kiren. You need these. Only thing I would've been needed for I lit on fire."
04[00:31] * +Mercury looks up at Kirengo. "Don't you have any friends or family out there?"
15[00:33] * +Kirengo "Uh... no. We need you to tell us how to make the best of those. And I'm pretty sure her wing was long gone before you ever set it on fire." He turns his head and looks at Mercury. "Yes... though most of them have all died in the last... month and a half. Why?"
04[00:36] <+Mercury> (Blast, not Kirengo, sorry)
15[00:36] <+Kirengo> -.-
07[00:38] * +Blastwave "Uh, I have a Sister and a mother. Outside of the army I didn't have much of a life, so all my freinds burned up the day I died."
07[00:39] * +Clipped_Cantle snorts. "That your expert medical opinion? Bones can be set, fixed. Could've reattached it with a potion. Fire doesn't heal so good." She sighs and gets to her hooves. "But fine... if you want my help, as dubious as it is, sure. I won't say no."
07[00:39] * +Mercury "You miss them?"
07[00:40] * +Blastwave "When I think about them..."
07[00:41] * +Mercury nods. "I miss my family too."
07[00:43] * +Blastwave sighs, "When you choose to rebel, did you ever think you'd see your family again?"
15[00:43] * +Kirengo "Unless you've got a hydra or something stashed away somewhere, pretty sure you can't fix 'torn off'. And yes, I do want your help, because you're a medic and you're a good medic. I got hit, so I'm hurt. I saw Blast get hit, so he's probably in as much pain as I am at least, and Mercury... well Mercury fricken lost a wing, no telling how bad she's banged up otherwise."
04[00:47] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles hollowly. "Yeah, so good I nearly strangled myself with a bandage way back when." She shrugs and picks up a healing potion, then looks over Kirengo. "Yeah, you're messed up alright..." She holds the potion up for the buck to drink.
15[00:48] * +Kirengo drinkies up the potion. "Oh, are we recounting tales of the times we screwed up now?"
04[00:55] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head and looks Kirengo over again. "Nope. Just stating a fact." He hoofs another potion to Kirengo. "You give this to Merc if she needs it. I don't think she needs to see me right now." More like you're too scared and ashamed to face her. Afraid she wasn't going to be your friend anymore. Nice way to uphold the Element of Honesty. "If Blast needs one, have him come in here, I guess."
[00:55] <+Clipped_Cantle> She*
07[00:58] * +Mercury nods to Blastwave. "I really did..."
07[00:59] * +Blastwave nods. Now he understood, she was an optimist. That was her problem. "I see, there is still hope of that you know. Once we get your wings back."
07[01:01] * +Mercury mumbles into her hooves. "If they are still alive."
15[01:01] * +Kirengo takes the potion and furrows his brow at Clipped. "Yeah? Well I think you're wrong... so let's do it anyway, shall we? Hmm... a few years ago, I was driving a boat up the Ponytomic. Everything was going just fine and dandy, right up until the end... where I proceeded to ram the boat straight into the pier. Destruction everywhere. Oh, you remember that mare I brought back from the scumbucket's boat? She was being held in a cage with a flimsy old lock on it. Figured it wouldn't be too hard to break. First try to break it, I slipped and kicked myself in the face. Second try? Tripped and smacked my face into the cage bars. Third try I opened it and walked in... only to have the mare inside -faint- at the sight of me coming closer to her. Oh, and then in the tower the other day. Standing right over the Enclave, rear up... they weren't even moving... -completely- missed and came down on the floor instead. Even cracked my power hooves. Oh oh oh oh! Here's one!" He turns and holds up his left-hindleg to show Clipped his Bucker. "I shot myself! Yeah! Shot myself with a double barreled shotgun!" He puts his hoof back down. "So whatever it is you think you did that means you deserve to sit in a little room and avoid everyone, get the buck over it and go help your friends."
07[01:09] * +Mercury "I just... this wasn't how it was supposed to be. Not at all."
07[01:10] * +Blastwave nods solmenly. "No, the world was supposed to be peaceful, and happy, and carefree... and then it blew up, leaving us this. It'll never be what we want, but if we fight, it could be what we need."
04[01:11] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks at Kirengo and shakes her head. Like those screw ups compare to letting your marefriend die, nearly killing yourself on multiple occasions, and destroying a part of your friend's body. "I don't think I deserve to sit in here. I'm in here because I doubt Merc wants to see me right now." Yay Honesty. Such a great AJ Ranger.
15[01:12] * +Kirengo "Shall we ask her?"
07[01:13] * +Clipped_Cantle winces and shakes her head. "No. I don't..." She sighs and looks away. "I'm not sure I want to know the answer..."
15[01:13] * +Kirengo "Right then." He moves back into the main room and heads over to Mercury. "Hey, would you like to see the medic?"
07[01:14] * +Mercury snorts. "A philosopher now, huh?"
04[01:14] * +Mercury looks up to Kirengo. "Huh?"
07[01:14] * +Blastwave shrugs, "Figured I'd brush up, when you look two hundred years old ponies have certain expectations."
07[01:15] * +Clipped_Cantle furrows her brow and narrows her eyes. What the fuck?
15[01:16] * +Kirengo nods at Mercury. "The medic. You're hurt. Would you like to see the medic? You know, to fix the hurt and maybe chat afterwards like the friends we all are?"
07[01:17] * +Clipped_Cantle gets to her hooves and slams her helmet back on her head, then puts the other three healing potions back in her bandoleer.
07[01:18] * +Mercury looks over to the room Clipped_Cantle vanished to and Moonlight`s_Shimmer crying in the corner. "I don't think she wants to. Especialy if she would leave the large lady like that. If anypony needs to see her, it is moon."
07[01:19] * +Mercury looks up to Blastwave with a grim chuckle. "Yes, I can just see you dressed like a hermit, spewing riddles."
15[01:20] * +Kirengo takes a deep breath. "Mercury... please just answer my question. It is a yes or a no. Would you be averse to seeing Clipped and or having her tend to your wounds?"
07[01:21] * +Mercury tilts her head. "Why would I be adverse to seeing her?"
07[01:22] * +Clipped_Cantle stomps her way back into the main room and stops when she sees Moon. "Moon? What's wr-" She stops and facehooves. You walked out on her when she was trying to comfort you, you idiot. Way to go. Just racking up the win tonight.
15[01:22] * +Kirengo "For some reason she thinks she is the one that ruined your wing." He turns around and walks back into the o- he stops when Clipped walks out. "Mercury would love to see you and have her wounds healed, and has no idea why you would think otherwise."
07[01:23] * +Mercury "Unless Clipped can contole who the ghouls like eating..."
07[01:24] * +Blastwave tries not to call anyone racist
07[01:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks up from a slit inbetween one of her wings feathers, it still covering her face, and her having laid down on the floor. She's stopped crying by now but despite the fact that she's hiding her face it is obviously tear stained. "...Clipped?"
04[01:26] * +Clipped_Cantle glares at Kirengo, not that he can see it with her helmet on, then blinks and looks at Mercury. "I... shot it with a bullet... of fire... I could've... saved it." She looks back to Moon and winces. "Yeah, it's me... You ok?"
07[01:27] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer closes her eyes and sighs "...We are fine."
07[01:29] * +Mercury "After it was crushed, ripped out, half eaten, electrified and you did it trying to keep it from being more eaten..."
07[01:29] * +Mercury "Now, stop fussing and see to your demigoddess of a marefriend."
07[01:31] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer just hides her face more...demigoddess...
07[01:31] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. Great job... now you've made Moon pull away. Fuck... not that... anything but that... She groans and looks at Mercury. "F-first... you... you and Blast need..." She pulls out a pair of healing potions and extends them toward the two pegasi. "D-drink these..." She glance back at Moon, worried out of her mind.
15[01:32] * +Kirengo has accomplished his mission as far as he is concerned. He gives the four ponies in the room and quick glance before heading into the room Clipped just came out of.
07[01:33] * +Blastwave removes his helmet. His face would look like it just took a harsh beating, that is if it didn't already, "Thanks."
07[01:34] * +Mercury grumbles and drinks down the potion. "There, done."
07[01:37] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and takes off her helmet, the concern about losing Mercury bathed under the tide of concern for Moonlight`s_Shimmer. She trots over to the alicorn and sits next to her. "Moon...?"
07[01:37] * +Blastwave lies back down and holds his head, it still hurt a fair bit, "Invisible bitches..." he blinks and looks over at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "uh, not you! The unicorn we fought."
07[01:38] * +Mercury tilts her head to Blastwave. "Huh?"
04[01:38] * +Blastwave "There was an invisible unicorn... shooting bolts of frost. Everywhere. Kiren could see it."
07[01:39] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer just lays there, unmoving. Demigoddess...it's not so bad, is it? Hardly anything could kill her, she knew that...demigoddess...monster...she didn't care...she just wants to be accepted, and to be useful, and right now she can't be the latter. She opens and eye again and peaks out through her wing at Clipped "Yes Clipped?"
07[01:41] * +Clipped_Cantle swallows and clears her throat. "You're... you're not ok... are you?"
15[01:41] * +Kirengo walks back out of the room after a fair bit of pacing. He notes the notably healthier Mercury as he walks over to Blastwave. "You okay?"
04[01:42] * +Mercury is about to reply, but as Kirengo comes over to see to Blastwave she scoots aside.
04[01:42] * +Blastwave smiles at Kirengo, "Brain freeze, other than that I'm good."
07[01:42] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hmms? "We are...well...just a bit tired is all. Our horn is somewhat sore after all that."
15[01:43] * +Kirengo leans down and lightly kisses the top of Blastwave's head. "Alright..." He pulls back and nods between the ghoul and Mercury. "You two go back to talking."
07[01:43] * +Clipped_Cantle reaches out a hoof to touch Moonlight`s_Shimmer's muzzle. "You've... I made you cry..."
07[01:44] * +Blastwave blushes a little, "Thanks... don't leave, how are you doing?'
07[01:45] * +Mercury waves her hoof. "Don't worry. We were just going over the invisicorn that only you could see."
07[01:46] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and doesn't pull away from Clipped's hoof "No...you did not...not...you specifically at least...it's just...we did not know how to comfort Mercury...and you asked us to..we wanted to comfort her...and we wanted to comfort you as well...but we could do neither..."
15[01:47] * +Kirengo was about to go back into the other room, but he turns back and lays down next to Blastwave. "I'm fine... couldn't hardly move the entire time, and shooting myself didn't help matter." He looks over Blast at Mercury. "It was creepy."
07[01:48] * +Blastwave "What did it even look like? I saw glimpses when it died, but that's about it..."
07[01:49] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then strips out of her armor and lies next to the alicorn. "Yeah... you wanted to comfort me and I walked out on you... all of you." She sighs. "Apparently for no damn reason other than I'm an idiot."
15[01:49] * +Kirengo "White, and featureless, with a weird smiling face and the body never looked bloody or anything at all from us hitting it."
07[01:50] * +Blastwave groans, "Lovely."
15[01:50] * +Kirengo gives Clipped a look.
07[01:50] * +Mercury "Wow... can you see Moon when she vanishes too?"
07[01:51] * +Clipped_Cantle is focused on Moon and doesn't see the look.
15[01:51] * +Kirengo looks back at Mercury. "No, I can't. I have a feeling... well nevermind..."
07[01:51] * +Mercury "Star cult stuff?"
07[01:52] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles weakly and puts a foreleg and a wing around Clipped_Cantle, pulling her up against her "You are not and idiot Clipped...you are anything but." she nuzzles her marefriend and kisses her cheek, glad to be able to feel her body outside the armor
[01:52] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> not an*
15[01:52] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes. "Yes, but I was hoping to avoid getting called weird again. I saw those doors I pointed out in a dream before. That's how I knew we were walking into something bad."
07[01:53] * +Blastwave nods, "I see, next time if you see doors, we're going the other way."
15[01:53] * +Kirengo nods.
07[01:54] * +Mercury "Uh huh..."
07[01:54] * +Blastwave pats the ground beside him, "Lie down, you need to rest."
07[01:55] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer when she kisses her cheek. "I was stupid, at least. Obviously... I was scared Mercury was... that she'd... be upset because I shot her wing... that she'd..." She shudders and presses herself into her marefriend.
[01:55] <+Blastwave> {Redact}
07[01:55] * +Blastwave sighs, "So we're heading back to the stable?"
07[01:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer tucks Clipped_Cantle's head into the nook in her neck and runs her magic through the small mare's mane "Sshhh...it is all right Clipped...we are here. Mercury's wing was a tragedy...but she is still alive...and that is all that matters." at least...she thinks so...she's not entirely sure. "
15[01:58] * +Kirengo "We used up half our potions... half of us just got the crap beat out of us... You think we should keep going into who-knows-what in this facility while low on potions?
15[01:58] <+Kirengo> "
07[01:59] * +Blastwave blinks, "I never said that at all, I was just wondering if that was the plan..."
15[01:59] * +Kirengo "Was asking a question, not saying that's what you thought."
07[01:59] * +Mercury "I know two things fromf this. One, it is good Clipped did not go on her own. And two, next time, we just fly there."
15[01:59] * +Kirengo blinks at Mercury.
04[02:01] * +Blastwave bops Kirengo, "Doesn't matter to me."
07[02:01] * +Mercury "What?"
07[02:02] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer's throat. "I was being selfish again... so, so selfish. All I was worried about was losing a friend... ignored the injuries of said friends and went to mope, making my marefriend cry in the process, too." She pulls her head away from Moonlight`s_Shimmer and looks at the floor. "I'm sorry."
15[02:03] * +Kirengo wrinkles his nose up and blinks as he's bopped. "You do realize who would be carrying your flank all the time if we flew everywhere, right?" He wiggles his nose again and leans his head over to bump Blastwave's cheek with said nose.
07[02:04] * +Blastwave turns his head at the last second to make the attempted cheek poke into a kiss. Mission successful
07[02:04] * +Mercury droops again. "Ah..." That whole wings thing wasn't happening then.
07[02:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer lifts Clipped_Cantle's head back up with a wing and looks her in the eyes "It is not your fault." she smiles "We love you Clipped." she moves in to kiss her marefriend
15[02:07] * +Kirengo blinks in surprise, but doesn't pull away from the kiss. Actually he presses into it, enjoying the fact they were all still alive... and... well the taste, yes. Eventually he pulls back, licking his lips, and casts a glance at Mercury. "Would be me... for at least the next five days or so, until my mom could finish the amulet, assuming she has some rubies." He looks back at Blastwave's strange milky eyes. "You're naughty."
07[02:08] * +Blastwave blushes a little bit, "I prefer devious, and cunning, but I'll take naughty."
07[02:09] * +Mercury scoots away from the couple.
07[02:10] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer, but only for a few seconds before breaking it. "How is it not my fault? I did it... made the choice to...." She facehooves. You idiot. You bucking idiot to the millionth degree. Merc is going through something damn near the same as what you went through... he was there for you and you walked out on her. Idiot. Idiot idiot idiot. "I'll... be right back,...
07[02:10] * +Clipped_Cantle ...Moon." She gets to her hooves and trots over to Mercury, assuming Moon doesn't keep her from going.
15[02:10] * +Kirengo smirks at Blastwave, then looks back up at Mercury as she scoots away. "The hell you think you're going?"
07[02:11] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer does not keep Clipped_Cantle from going "Okay Clipped." she nuzzles Clipped_Cantle's flank as she gets up
04[02:11] * +Mercury blinks at Kirengo. "Giving you some space."
07[02:12] * +Mercury has not noticed Clipped_Cantle with her current 2 Per.
04[02:12] * +Blastwave looks over at Mercury, "Sorry, sorry, we'll stop. I just could resist." he smirks. So, rubbies, if Karina doesn't have any where are we going to find some?"
07[02:13] * +Clipped_Cantle sits next to Mercury and rubs the back of her head with a hoof. "Hey, uh... sorry about... earlier."
15[02:13] * +Kirengo "We're not going to start ignoring you. We're crude, we're not massive bucking jerks..."
07[02:14] * +Mercury shakes her head. "Oh, no. You two were having a moment. I would be the jerk for interupting." She looks over to Clipped_Cantle. "Huh? Oh, well, yeah. Moon should have come before me."
07[02:15] * +Blastwave snickers, "Moments over, you can come back now."
07[02:16] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and tilts her head at Mercury. "Huh? No... no, if I hadn't been being an idiot she would've been fine... If I'd just..." She sighs. "Anyway, I'm here for you now. How're you doing?"
15[02:16] * +Kirengo sighs and leans his head against the top of Blastwave's neck. "I can't win. Maybe I should go mute like my uncle."
04[02:17] * +Blastwave nuzzles the top of Kirengo's head, "Your uncle is mute?"
15[02:18] * +Kirengo "Apparently he can talk just fine... haven't heard him say a word in as long as I can remember, though."
07[02:18] * +Mercury "I'll live. I am a bit home sick," massive understatement, "but other than that, fine."
07[02:19] * +Blastwave snickers, "But I'd miss your voice."
04[02:20] * +Mercury looks over to Kirengo and Blastwave. "Oh, don't get me wrong, you two are adorable, but just trying to be polite."
07[02:21] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Mercury and holds moves closer to the mare. "Er... you want a hug?"
15[02:23] * +Kirengo "Won't do that, then... Just seems like I always manage to stick my hoof in my mouth somehow... or end up with someone else's boot in my face..." He lifts his head up to nuzzle Blastwave's cheek on the way to nipping at his ear. "Just glad you're okay... I saw that thing go straight for your head..."
07[02:24] * +Mercury "I don't need one, but personal policy: never turn down free hugs."
04[02:25] * +Blastwave snickers and mumbles his approval at ear nips, "It just means you are very... flexible?" he sort of bends his head down to help Kirengo, "Yeah, luckily for me I don't keep anything important in there."
07[02:26] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and hugs Mercury. "You... let me know if you need anything, alright? You need to talk or something, I'll listen."
15[02:27] * +Kirengo giggles softly. "Yeah... like a roach, impossible to ever get rid of and can live forever cause their heads are empty." He nuzzles the top of Blastwave's head then nibbles on his ear again. Mmm... bacon...
07[02:28] * +Mercury pats Clipped_Cantle's back. "I'll be fine." She would kind of feel like an utter bitch to complain to Clipped_Cantle about a /single/ lost limb.
07[02:29] * +Blastwave mmmhmms and closes his eyes. "Exactly, and if you try to squish us we just get back... oh, right there, thats a good spot." He gives good suggestions for where to nibble.
[02:29] <+Blastwave> back up*
07[02:31] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and pulls back from the hug, smiling at Mercury. "Just... keep it in mind, ok? You were there for me... now it's my turn. Anything I can do to help, if I don't see it you tell me, ok?"
15[02:31] * +Kirengo lifts his head up slightly to get at the noted spot and continues to nibble on it.
07[02:32] * +Mercury gives Clipped_Cantle a squeeze. "Any chance you can fix a sky tank?"
07[02:33] * +Mercury "I just so happen to know where we can find parts from three."
07[02:33] * +Mercury ponders. "Oh, even more in the crashes Raptors."
07[02:34] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Mercury. "Uh... I can try. That's all I'll promise you on that... never even seen one before Belle Tower..."
15[02:34] * +Kirengo glances over at Mercury as she mentions repairing tanks. Even if it was from the ones his father died to destroy... rolling out of Bucklyn in a -tank- would be... awesome.
07[02:34] * +Blastwave bites his lower lip. That did feel really good. Who knew undead ears could be so sesnitive and tasty. But then again he felt sort of awkward given how close everyone was. "mhmm, ah, that's good. bacon you said?"
15[02:37] * +Kirengo smiles and reaches a foreleg up to wrap around Blastwave's neck. "Yes... bacon. Tasty." He glances over at the other pegasus. "We should go looking for some, take Mercury along and give her practice from her fancy book..." He gives Blastwave's ear a lick then goes back to nibbling on its sensitive spot.
07[02:39] * +Mercury nods again. "Yeah, there are the two at 34, the shards at the Bloodwing tower, at least a dozen at Friendship City."
04[02:40] * +Blastwave smiles and tries to talk and have his ear nibbled on at the same time. it is surprisngly difficult. "Ahh, well that, that s-sounds like fun. Sky tank hunting." Silly kiren, always so frisky right after nearly dying.
07[02:41] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Mercury. "We can try, sure. Bet the Rangers would be ecstatic to have a tank at their command. Just need to get everyone back on their hooves and take care of this facility first."
15[02:44] * +Kirengo pushes down gently with his nose on the top of Blastwave's head in an attempt to get the ghoul to lay his head down on their forelegs. He looks at Clipped as he puts a wing, now with only a couple tears in it, over Blast. "Which might not be tomorrow, since we're so low on potions... Or we could try to scavenge around for some around here instead of going back to Thirty-Two." He kisses the top of Blastwave's head again then decides to nibble on his other ear, again searching for a sensitive spot.
04[02:44] * +Mercury nods again. "We also may want to keep an eye out for any other vehicles we may be able to get running. Let us haul more stuff." She looks to Kirengo and Blastwave. “Would you like a room?”
04[02:45] * +Blastwave rests his head in Kirengo's forelegs, "Don't look at me Merc, it's all him. I'm helpless to his charm." His ear twitches as Kirengo finds a sensitive spot, glorious. "All him."
15[02:48] * +Kirengo giggles softly again as the ear twitches. Casting a glance at Mercury, he mumbles, "Called multitasking." He smiles as he goes back to nibbling the newly found sensitive spot on Blast's other ear.
07[02:52] * +Blastwave goes to chuckles but is cut off part way through by a small moan. "Ah, that's good." he is blushing but there is multitasking to be done. "Whatever we're doing we should get some rest. Especially after a fight like that." By we he was obviously excluding himself.
04[02:53] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles at Mercury and yawns. She glances over at Kirengo and Blastwave, then blushes and looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer before turning back to Mercury. "Yeah, rest sounds good."
07[02:53] * +Mercury nods. "I suppose."
07[02:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles across the room at Clipped_Cantle rests her head in her hooves
07[02:55] * +Clipped_Cantle gives Mercury a final squeeze, then trots back over to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. She smiles at the alicorn before lying down at her side and nuzzling her shoulder.
07[02:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle back and puts a foreleg and a wing over her, pulling her up against her body. Moonlight`s_Shimmer yawns, then kisses Clipped_Cantle on her ear. She hmms curiously and then nibbles on said ear lightly.
15[02:56] * +Kirengo "We should all be mostly fine after a good night's sleep... my only concern is about making it through another fight like that... but yeah... right now, sleep" Nibble nibble nibble... He's grinning rather wide and stupidly as he does so.
07[02:56] * +Mercury tries to wiggle a stump at Clipped_Cantle out of instinct before stopping and using a hoof.
07[02:58] * +Blastwave just chuckles at the zebra's enthusiasm, "You're enjoying this way too much."
07[02:59] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks in surprise, blushing and letting out a small eep. She snuggles into Moonlight`s_Shimmer and closes her eyes, a broad smile on her face.
15[02:59] * +Kirengo "I know, dear, but we all just made it out alive and I found something new you like. Let me have my fun."
07[03:00] * +Blastwave laughs for a second but quickly quiets down. "Oh fine. But I'll remember this, and soon I shall have my vengance." Or something, he was mostly paying attention to the nibbles.
15[03:02] * +Kirengo "Mmhmm. Shush you..." Nibble nibble nibble... and then Yoshi passes out.
07[03:03] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer giggles at Clipped_Cantle's eep, that was the adorabelest thing ever... Moon snuggles against Clipped_Cantle, smiling as she stops nibbling on Clipped's ear and kisses her cheek, yawning again "We love you Clipped." she says nuzzling her again before laying her head down
07[03:03] * +Blastwave has a passed out zebra on his head, what do...
07[03:03] * +Mercury gathers her things and finds an out of the way nook, or side room to settle down in.
15[03:04] * +Kirengo thinks Blastwave should totally have a conversation with Mercury while a zebra snores on top of his head. It would be awkwardly hilarious.
07[03:05] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and rests her head atop the alicorn's. "Love you too, Moon." She smiles and closes her eyes.
07[03:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer closes her eyes, falling asleep brushying Clipped_Cantle with her magic
[2012-09-09 04:04:29] * Kirengo thinks Blastwave should totally have a conversation with Mercury while a zebra snores on top of his head. It would be awkwardly hilarious.
[2012-09-09 04:05:58] * Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and rests her head atop the alicorn's. "Love you too, Moon." She smiles and closes her eyes.
[2012-09-09 04:06:24] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer closes her eyes, falling asleep brushying Clipped_Cantle with her magic
[2012-09-09 04:06:29] |<-- Kirengo has left irc.canternet.org (Quit: )

[2012-09-09 04:15:31] * Blastwave whispers a little bit at Mercury, "Are you sure you're going to be alright?"
[2012-09-09 04:19:02] * Mercury stops and scoots over to the stallions. "I..." She drops the act. "I don't know. We will just need to see."
[2012-09-09 04:20:34] * Blastwave nods, "I understand, it's not easy. Down here. I promise we'll get your wings back though, I can do that much at least." He does in fact have a sleeping zebra on his head, but Blast knows how to be quiet enough to keep him asleep
[2012-09-09 04:25:02] * Mercury nods. "Thank you... I'll let you get to sleep. It has been a hard day."
[2012-09-09 04:25:33] * Blastwave blinks at Mercury, "Uh... Ghouls don't sleep. Ever. I stay awake all night."
[2012-09-09 04:26:13] * Mercury "Oh... right." She chews her lip. "What do you do all night?"
[2012-09-09 04:27:10] * Blastwave "Mostly I keep an ear out for trouble, sometimes read if there's a book, or just lie perfectly still and pretend I can still sleep."
[2012-09-09 04:30:34] * Mercury digs in her bags and pulls out the survival guide. "Would you like some new material?"
[2012-09-09 04:32:00] * Blastwave looks at it, "Oh, can you put it here, i can't really move like this." he smiles. "Thank you. I like things that keep my mind busy at night."
[2012-09-09 04:33:02] * Mercury places it at Blastwave's hooves. "I'll bet. It can get really lonely just laying there."
[2012-09-09 04:34:19] * Blastwave sort of nods, "Well, I have Kiren now, so less, but his sleep talking is rarely stimulating. Still better than the first few nights when I was still thinking I wasn't... this."
[2012-09-09 04:35:05] * Mercury slowly looks Blastwave over. "It must have been hard."
[2012-09-09 04:36:09] * Blastwave smirks, "Not going to lie and say it wasn't. Oh but um, don't let me keep you up, you've been through a lot get some rest."
[2012-09-09 04:38:11] * Mercury looks down. "Yeah, rest, right." She looks between the two couples' cuddle piles. "I'll see you in the morning then… Would you like a hoof relocating your stallion?”
[2012-09-09 04:40:18] * Blastwave "No, he's comfortable like this, and I don't cramp so..." he looks over her, "Please try to get some rest at least. But if you can't I'm always here to talk" he gives his best smile, abd every mirror in a one hundred ayrd radius breaks
[2012-09-09 04:41:47] * Mercury "Yeah, okay then." She is, fortunately, not wearing her glasses and can not see very well. "I'll be in the other room then."
[2012-09-09 04:42:33] * Blastwave sort of nods ish, "Goodnight." He sighs as she leaves. Ponies in this group never slept enough.
[2012-09-09 04:46:12] * Mercury walks into the other room on her own. Feeling alone and exposed, she puts her armor back on and finds something to curl up on. "Nothing like being surrounded by love to make you feel lonely," She sighs as she prepares to get some sleep.
