FoE PnP: Destiny Group Session 20

[13:58] <GM||WavemasterRyx> *** PnP Destiny Group: Session 20 Start ***
[14:01] <GM||WavemasterRyx> When we last left our heroes, they went to the beach and then pretty much nothing happened. It's quite the lovely beach though, soft sand, warm water, and bikinis, all a pony could ask for.
[14:02] <Chameleon> And sand castles
[14:02] * Clara was sunbathing! Sunbathing is fun! And relaxing!
[14:03] * Swoop was contemplating the thought of showing her mother her wing implants.
[14:03] * High_Hopes has no idea what to do... she trots over to Clara and murmurs. "Um... Ms. Clara?"
[14:04] * Chameleon builds a giant sandcastle. Or maybe it's an igloo. Either way it's big and she can fit inside sort of.
[14:04] * Swept_Wing is chilling next to Swoop.
[14:05] <Swoop> .me gazes out over the water. "I wonder what mom'll say."
[14:06] <Swept_Wing> "She'll probably either freak out, or not say anything."
[14:06] <Swept_Wing> "But freaking out is more likely."
[14:07] * Chameleon pokes her head out of her sandigloocastle "They don't not like changeling do they?"
[14:07] <Swoop> "Pray for the silence..."
[14:07] * Astera rolls over to sunbath her belly.
[14:08] * Wildcard[GM] ([email protected]) has joined #fruityrumpusassholefactory
[14:08] * Clara glances up at High_Hopes, giving a quiet "Hmm?"
[14:09] <Swoop> "They're fine with changelings, Cammy."
[14:09] * High_Hopes looks kind of adorable in her one-piece black swim-suit. "What... what do we -do- at the beach? Just... lie on the ground?"
[14:09] <Chameleon> "Kaaaaaaaaaaaay~"
[14:10] * Astera equips sunglasses, because sunglasses.
[14:10] <Swoop> "Though, I recommend you stay with one look. Too many changes /will/ piss mom off."
[14:11] * Clara smiles a bit. "Some ponies like to soak in some sun... some like to play in the sand... some like to go for a swim..."
[14:11] * Chameleon tilts her head "how many times have you seen me as not a changeling?"
[14:11] <Swept_Wing> "Eh, none, actually."
[14:12] * Swoop puts a hoof to her chin. "Yeah, honestly never."
[14:12] <Chameleon> "'Xactly."
[14:12] <GM||WavemasterRyx> There's a soft magical chime, and Sterling looks down at his PipBuck. Tapping a few buttons he nods and stands up quickly, shaking sand off his flanks, "My apologies, Privates, but duty calls. Please have fun on your stay, and remember, just call me if you need anything."
[14:12] * Chameleon blinks
[14:12] <Chameleon> "Awww. Bye then."
[14:13] * Astera dismisses Sterling with a hoofwave.
[14:13] * Swoop waves to Sterling. "We'll get you some dinner!"
[14:13] * Swept_Wing nods to Sterling. "Have a nice evening then sir."
[14:13] * High_Hopes doesn't know how to swim. She's never really liked the water, and playing in the sand. "Goodbye, sir..." She lies down next to Clara and Astera, who are presumably next to each other. "Oh... well... soaking up the sun is nice... does anypony have any sunscreen?"
[14:15] <Swoop> "I only ever use it on my nose."
[14:15] <GM||WavemasterRyx> He plucks his helmet from the sand, twirling it through the air to land on his head before giving a crisp salute. Turning around, he trots off a short distance before launching into the air witth one powerful stroke from his wings.
[14:16] * Chameleon watches Sterling fly off
[14:16] * Astera glances at High_Hopes, lifting her sunglasses with her magic. "I did not bring any.. " Then over to Clara. "Did you?"
[14:17] * Chameleon raises her hoof "Oh oh! I didn't! I don't get sunburn!"
[14:18] * Swoop lays her head on the sand. "Lucky..."
[14:18] * Clara thinks for a moment. "I am sure somepony has some."
[14:18] * Astera makes a :I face at Chameleon.
[14:19] * Swept_Wing chuckles, leaning back and adjusting his Aviators again. "I don't burn too easily myself."
[14:20] * High_Hopes makes an :I face at everypony. "I knew I should have brought some... Sorry..."
[14:21] <Chameleon> "Maybe there's a place around here we can get some from?"
[14:22] <Swoop> "Yeah. There's a board shop up the beach about a kilometer."
[14:22] <Swoop> "Sells everything beach-goers need."
[14:22] * Chameleon scratches her nose "I could probably get there an back pretty quickly."
[14:23] * Astera rolls over again and stands up. "Then we should aquire some sunscreen.. And Icecream." She adds, with a slight smirk.
[14:23] * Swoop stands. "I'll show you where it is." She shakes the sand off herself, spraying Swept who ws a bit too close.
[14:23] * High_Hopes brigthens a little. "Ice cream sounds lovely!" She says, climbing to her hooves and rolling up her towel.
[14:24] * Astera nods at Swoop. "Lead the way Swoop."
[14:24] * Chameleon wiggles out of her sandigloocastle and over to her bags getting some bits "Ice creeeeeam~"
[14:24] * Swoop nods. "Who else is coming?"
[14:25] * Chameleon buzzes her wings and takes off in a little cirle to hover above everypony else
[14:25] * Clara stands and gives a stretch. "I would like some icecream, maybe!"
[14:26] <Astera> "Everypony." She trotts up next to Swoop.
[14:27] * Swept_Wing flails, rolling to his hooves, now a very sandy pegasus.
[14:27] * Swoop rolls up her blanket n tucks it away. "Swept, you comin? Or do you have to work on that perfect tan you always have?"
[14:27] * High_Hopes smiles and joins Astera at Swoop's side. She's very happy, now! Ice cream is delicious!
[14:27] * Chameleon wiggles midair
[14:28] * Swept_Wing snorts. "What tan? And of course I'm coming!" He grins.
[14:28] * Swoop glances around. "Actually, you guys start on over there... I gottqa find the little fillies room."
[14:29] * Swoop suddenly takes off, spraying sand in her wake as she heads for a toilet.
[14:29] * Astera nods, getting showered in sand she blinks. Makes another :I face and trotts towards the given location.
[14:30] * High_Hopes blinks at Swoop's sudden departure. "Oh... okay..." She follows Astera, then.
[14:30] * Swept_Wing chuckles, and heads off towards the Board Shop for ice cream and sun lotion.
[14:32] <GM||WavemasterRyx> The Board Shop is a nice little series of shacks a short distance away. There appears to be only one light blue pony stallion working at them, he smiles and waves a hoof as you approach, "Enjoying the beach my fine fillies?"
[14:33] * Clara smiles and nods as they approach. "It is a very fine beach, very relaxing!"
[14:33] * Swoop ([email protected]) Quit ( Ping timeout: 121 seconds )
[14:33] <Chameleon> "Yus!"
[14:34] * High_Hopes blushes slightly. "Yeah... very... Do you have any sunscreen?"
[14:35] * Swept_Wing chuckles. "I'm not a filly, but I am enjoying the beach."
[14:35] * Wildcard[GM] ([email protected]) has left #fruityrumpusassholefactory ("")
[14:35] <Chameleon> "Swept is cutest filly."
[14:36] * Astera smirks. "Well, he does know a thing or two about being a filly~"
[14:36] * Chameleon giggles
[14:37] * Swept_Wing snorts.
[14:37] <Swept_Wing> "Bah."
[14:38] <GM||WavemasterRyx> The stallion laughs a little, "My apologies, pal. So sunscreen huh? Yeah we've got that, step right over this way." He waves a hoof to direct you to the right-most shack before trotting behind its counter himself.
[14:38] * Astera adds to High_Hopes' question. "And any icecream?"
[14:38] * Chameleon hovers up above Swept_Wing and wraps her forelegs around his neck giving him a hug "D'awww, is the pretty little filly gonna pout?~"
[14:39] * High_Hopes follows the shopkeep, giggling slightly at the exchange behind her.
[14:42] * Clara smiles in amusement, following Hopes to the rightmost shack.
[14:43] * Astera trotts forward to look at the choices of icecream. Settling for a Strawberry Daffodil, Icecream with extra flower!
[14:44] <GM||WavemasterRyx> He nods and grabs out a bottle of sunscreen from behind the counter tossing it to balance on his back, "Oh we definitely have ice cream! The menu is right over there, as this lovely filly seems to have noticed."
[14:45] * Chameleon hovers over to the menu to see if they have and Spaghettieis
[14:46] * Astera smiles gently and glances over. "Ah, add a Strawberry Daffodil with that sunscreen please. And Im sure everypony else also wants something." She takes a few steps to the side to let the otehrs also have a look.
[14:46] * High_Hopes smiles politely and looks over her options.
[14:48] * Clara also checks out the icecream menu!
[14:49] <GM||WavemasterRyx> The menu has many different flavors, so many choices, and such riches a plenty.
[14:49] <~High_Hopes> "Ooooh, Pistachio, please!"
[14:51] * Chameleon wiggles "Spaghettieis~"
[14:51] * Clara thinks for a moment. "May I have... chocolate chip? With fudge and peanut butter?"
[14:52] <Swept_Wing> "I'll just have Vanilla please."
[14:52] <Astera> "Ah, Swept, what do you think Swoop would like?"
[14:54] <Swept_Wing> "Hmmm, chocolate I think is her favourite, yes."
[14:55] <Astera> "Ah, something chocolatey.. Then."
[14:55] <GM||WavemasterRyx> He nods again, smiling and ducking down behind the counter. The sound of scooping and ice-cream crafting resonates from out of view for a few moments. One by one, the ice creams are tossed up onto the counter, the stallion popping back out after the last one lands in place.
[14:57] <GM||WavemasterRyx> "Let's see... this will be..." He taps his hoof on the counter as he counts off in his head, "33 credits, please."
[14:58] * High_Hopes puts 40 credits on the counter and smiles. "Thank you very much, sir!"
[14:59] * Chameleon scampers off with her frozen treat
[15:00] <GM||WavemasterRyx> He takes the credits and passes Hopes back the change, smiling back, "You're most welcome, have a nice day."
[15:00] * Swoop ([email protected]) has joined #fruityrumpusassholefactory
[15:01] * Clara was in the middle of trying to pay herself, but smiles when Hopes offers. She'll have to remember to treat Hopes to something sometime.
[15:01] * Astera hovers out the icecreams to their various ponies, taking her own and Swoops for herself before turning to trott back towards where they had left.
[15:01] <~High_Hopes> Hopes shakes her head and leaves the rest on the counter. As ponies scamper off, she asks the shopkeep. "Um... do you know anywhere that sells... Friendship the Gathering cards?"
[15:01] * Swoop walks in the shop. "Stupid plumbers..."
[15:02] * Swept_Wing chuckles, holding out the chocolate ice cream for Swoop.
[15:03] * Swoop squees and takes the ice cream happily.
[15:04] * Swept_Wing grins, digging into his own ice cream
[15:04] <GM||WavemasterRyx> The stallion smiles down at Hopes, "Well there's not much call for them out here on the beach, little filly. I've seen some vending machines with them back in town though."
[15:04] * Swoop noms the ice cream ravenously.
[15:05] * Clara takes her icecream and digs in! It's soooo good.
[15:05] * High_Hopes 's ears flatten against her head as she slowly nibbles her ice cream. "Well... thank you anyway, sir..."
[15:05] * Astera delicately nibbles her icecream. "Ah, Swoop, where was the fillies room?"
[15:06] * Swoop licks her lips clean of chilled desert. "It was out of order. Stupid plumber had it taped off but wasn't doing anything to fix it. Said he was 'waiting for assistance.'"
[15:07] <Astera> "Oh.."
[15:07] * Chameleon noms her Spaghettieis while she tries to think of other things to get
[15:08] <Swoop> "Yeah... I'll just wait till we get to mom and dad's house."
[15:08] * Swept_Wing checks the time.
[15:10] * Astera licks her icecream, moving back  towards their spot at the beach. "So will I.. Then."
[15:11] <Swoop> "So, did you guys find what you needed?"
[15:11] * High_Hopes follows with the bottle of sunscreen and her ice cream floating along in her magic. She nods to Swoop. "Yes, we did."
[15:12] * Swoop grins. "Glad to hear it. Told ya that place was good."
[15:12] * Astera sits down in the sand again. Finishing her icecream.
[15:12] <Chameleon> "I dunno what to get."
[15:13] * Chameleon adjusts her swimsuit
[15:14] * High_Hopes lays down her towel and flops on to her tummy. "Could somepony put some of this on my back?"
[15:15] * Astera glances over. "Of course."
[15:16] * Chameleon throws away her empty container of ice cream and goes back to her sandigloocastle
[15:16] * Swoop is still at the shop, parusing the sunglasses. She selects a wrap-around set, and admires herself in the mirror. "Yep. These work."
[15:16] * Astera trotts over, sitting down next to High_Hopes, taking the sunscreen and slowly spreading it over High_Hopes back, over her neck and down to her rump. She even adds a little to her ears, just in case.
[15:16] * Swept_Wing nods approvingly to Swoop. "Indeed, though, not as cool as my Aviators."
[15:17] * Swoop pushes the glasses down to the end of her nose and look at her brother over them. "Dude, NOTHING can be that cool."
[15:18] * High_Hopes 's cheeks are looking very sunburnt as Astera rubs her down. "Th-Thaaaaank you..."
[15:18] * Clara slowly finishes off her icecream as she stretches back out in her sunbathing spot.
[15:18] * Swoop pays for the shades and heads out.
[15:18] <GM||WavemasterRyx> The shop pony smiles, "They look nice on you."
[15:18] * Swoop winks at the shop pony as she steps outside.
[15:19] <Astera> "Oh dear.. Looks like your face is already a little burnt, here. Let me help you.." She even puts some sunscreen over Hopes face, and horn.
[15:19] * Swept_Wing chuckles, trotting after his sister.
[15:20] * High_Hopes bits down hard on her lip as Astera rubs her horn. "O-O-Oh... thank... you..." Her cheeks are on fire!
[15:23] * Astera frowns a little  and adds a little more over High_Hopes' horn, thoroughly covering it in the sunscreen. "There, that should do it.." She lays down next to High_Hopes lowering her head down. "Now you do me."
[15:23] * Swoop arrives at the beach with the others again, respreads her blanket. "Can I get a bit of that when you're done?"
[15:23] * Chameleon scampers out of her sandigl-I'm not friggen typing all that again, and back out into the water to swim some more
[15:24] * Swept_Wing returns to chilling on the sand, working on dat tan.
[15:24] * High_Hopes shudders hard a little. "I... I... d-do?" She says, gulping a little.
[15:25] * Astera who had closed her eyes, opens one of them and peers at High_Hopes.  "Why.. Yes. The wings too, if you please."
[15:27] * High_Hopes tears her gaze away from Astera and nods hurredly. "Of course, of course! Sorry!" She says, leaping to her hooves and begins rubbing.
[15:28] * Astera murrs under High_Hopes' hooves.
[15:28] * Chameleon burst out of the water and flies up a bit before flipping backwards and cannonballing back in.
[15:31] * Clara stretches out and rests... It feels very nice.
[15:31] * High_Hopes blushes hard, as she had been since she lied down. She is shaking a little as she slowly extends one of Astera's wings and rubs it down with tiny, delicate strokes.
[15:33] * Astera 's wings flutters lightly. She glances over at High_Hopes again. "Longer strokes dear.. and do remember my rump.."
[15:34] * Swoop covers her head in her hooves. "Ugh. Get a room, you two."
[15:35] * High_Hopes wipes a hoof at her sweating brow. "O-Of course, Ms. A-Astera..." She blushes even more at Swoop as she keeps rubbing.
[15:35] * Swept_Wing chuckles. "Yes, a room, preferably in a motel."
[15:37] * Chameleon can either hold her breath for a really long time, she's drowned, or she's just out of sight.
[15:38] * Astera lets out a soft moan as High_Hopes rubs over her rear. "Thats perfect.. Be a dear and make sure you get the horn too.."
[15:40] * High_Hopes almost faints. She quickly moves to her horn and rubs it, taking all of her will power not to pass out.
[15:41] <Astera> "Ah, Are you alright, Hopes?" She says,  glancing up at High_Hopes.
[15:42] * High_Hopes is bright red, but not from sunburn. "Y-Yes, Ms. Astera... very... all right..." She says, still rubbing the horn.
[15:43] <Chameleon> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuj7D5CC_u4
[15:44] * Astera nods. "Oh, alright." She closes her eyes again, letting out another quiet murr as High_Hopes rubs her horn.
[15:45] * High_Hopes wiggles a little closer to Astera as she finishes rubbing. "Th-There... I think..."
[15:46] * Swoop holds out her hoof. "Can I have a turn now?"
[15:46] * Astera looks up at her horn, then at Hopes. "Mhm, thank you very much." She gives a thanking nuzzle.
[15:47] * High_Hopes actually does faint this time. She flops on to her towel, grinning like a fool.
[15:48] * Swoop keeps her hoof out expectantly. "Ahem."
[15:49] * Astera stands up. "Oh! Hopes." She moves up and nuzzles again. "Hey, are you okay?"
[15:50] * High_Hopes nods softly. "So... sooooo okay..." She says, still grinning and blushing.
[15:50] * Swoop puts her hoof back down. "Oh nevermind..."
[15:50] * Swept_Wing chuckles.
[15:51] * Astera blinks, looking down at Hopes. "Oookay...? Ah, sorry Swoop. Of course, let me help you."
[15:51] * Chameleon wanders back from farther down the beach dripping wet
[15:51] <Swoop> "No no. I can do it myself."
[15:51] * Astera hoves the sunscreen bottle over. "Oh.. Well, sure. Here."
[15:51] * High_Hopes just lays there, smiling.
[15:52] * Swoop takes it, squirts a bit on her nose, then passes the bottle back as she rubs it in. "Thank you."
[15:52] * Astera lays down next to Hopes. "No worries."
[15:54] * High_Hopes is feeling very brave and leans over to nuzzle Astera back... because she forgot to. "Thank you... too..."
[15:58] * Astera jumps slightly from the nuzzle, having her eyes closed she didnt see hopes leaning over. "Ah.. Oh, no problem at all. Just tell me if you need more."
[16:04] <GM||WavemasterRyx> After an hour or more of relaxing on the beach, the party eventually decides to head back into town. On their way to Swept and Swoop's house, Hopes spots a few different vending machines on the streets, a few of which contain FTG booster packs. There's not much traffic through the city, but it's still pretty lively.
[16:04] <Swoop> "Glad to see the town hasn't changed."
[16:05] * High_Hopes heads right for the FTG vendor. "Oh wow..."
[16:05] * Chameleon examines the vending machines for things she might want.
[16:06] <GM||WavemasterRyx> The vending machine sports a triumphant looking pony from one of the game's cards. There's a few different buttons for the different series of boosterpacks, 10 credits per pack.
[16:07] * High_Hopes buys like... six. She's got disposable income for the first time in her life!
[16:09] * Chameleon totally gets a goofy grin when she spots a vending machine with panties in it and scampers over to look
[16:09] * Swoop watches Hopes. "Hmm.. I wonder if mom kept my card sets..."
[16:09] <Swept_Wing> "Mine are still in my room I think..."
[16:09] * Clara walks over to Hopes. "Ah... these are the cards, right? If I wanted to play with you sometime... what should I get?"
[16:09] <Swoop> "Let's grab them while we're here. See if Hopes is any good."
[16:10] * Swept_Wing nods, chuckling. "Sure!"
[16:10] * High_Hopes smiles happily at Clara. "Well... I think these are the newest cards! It couldn't hurt to start with them!"
[16:11] * Clara is a little overwhelmed. "Ah... could you help me pick some out? I don't know... really anything about how to play. Or how many I need, of what..."
[16:13] * High_Hopes sets her packs aside and looks the machine over. "Well... every deck has 60 cards, and ever pack has 15. But, it's probably not a good idea to just stick all the cards you get in to one..."
[16:13] <GM||WavemasterRyx> The vending machine Chameleon is looking at sports an athletic looking white earth pony, tastefully pulling on a pair of red sport-panties.
[16:14] * Chameleon scratches her chin and puts in the credits and taps in the code for a cute looking white pair
[16:15] * Astera just stands back and observes the others dance around with the vending machines.
[16:16] * Clara thinks for a moment, and buys 8 packs! Twice as many as she needs should be enough of a selection, right? She stores them away to open with Hopes later on, when they have some time, and she can explain more.
[16:16] <Swept_Wing> If anyone happened to be looking in the general area of in front of them, they would notice an older, very dark teal pegasus approaching them. He was wearing a military uniform, cap, and a pair of gold-rimmed Aviators.
[16:17] * Chameleon decides to get a black pair, blue pair, a green pair, and a pink pair too because you can never have enough panties.
[16:18] <Swoop> Standing next to the stallion is a golden haired mare with a pure white coat. She is wearing a cooking apron, and looking at Swoop with a dropped jaw.
[16:18] <Swept_Wing> "Welp."
[16:18] <Swept_Wing> "You're so dead Swoop."
[16:19] * Swoop whimpers.
[16:19] * High_Hopes grins at Clara and takes a look at these ponies who have just arrived. "Oh... that must be Mr. and Ms. Swoop..."
[16:19] * Chameleon scampers to another vending machine she noticed (Not paying much attention to the two ponies walking towards them), this one with Chibi changelings on it and gets some love-infused chocolates too
[16:20] <Swoop> The mare walks up to Swoop, eyes glued to her wings. She trots a complete circle around her, then glares at her. "And /when/ were you planning on telling me about /these/??"
[16:21] * Swoop visibly shrinks. "Uhm... soon?"
[16:21] * Swept_Wing backs away slowly.
[16:21] * High_Hopes looks at Swoop's wings curiously. Had they always been that big?
[16:21] * Chameleon gets 5 candy bars
[16:21] * Clara turns to look at Hopes, to ask if she thinks that will be enough, when Hopes mentions the pair of ponies that approached them. She gives a curious look toward them!
[16:22] * Astera trots closer. "Ah, Im sorry. Is there a problem?"
[16:22] <Swept_Wing> The stallion frowns at Swoop. "You, are in big trouble missie."
[16:22] <Swoop> "But... but I..."
[16:22] * Chameleon looks back at the others, noticing the two ponies finally and trots back over, munching on a chocolate bar
[16:23] * High_Hopes looks between the two adults and blinkity blinks. "Um... hello..."
[16:23] <Swoop> The mare silences her with a hoof. "Save it, young filly. I cannot believe you didn't even think to tell us. And you," she turns to Swept. "You didn't tell us when we saw you this afternoon."
[16:24] * Chameleon tilts her head and murrs
[16:24] * Swept_Wing flattens his ears. "Uhh, well, she didn't want me to tell you..."
[16:25] <Swoop> "No excuse! You know very well to tell me these things, not to let me find out by accident!"
[16:26] <Swept_Wing> "Son, I am dissapoint."
[16:26] * Chameleon raises a hoof "Wouldn't finding out by accident mean not seeing the pony yourself?"
[16:26] * Clara feels incredibly awkward about seeing this whole thing.
[16:26] <Swoop> The mare's judging eye falls upon Chameleon. "And who exactly would you be?"
[16:27] * High_Hopes shares Clara's sentiments...
[16:27] <Chameleon> "I am cammy!" Cammy currently has panties sticking out of her duffel bag and a blue one piece swimsuit that's a size to small for her on
[16:28] <Swoop> The white mare raises an eyebrow, then goes back to the siblings. "We will speak more on this at home." She then turns and trots away.
[16:29] * Astera raises a hoof and is about to say something, but drops it againt as the mare turns and walks away.
[16:29] <Swept_Wing> The stallion follows!
[16:29] * High_Hopes frowns, deflating a little. "Goodbye... I guess..."
[16:29] <Swept_Wing> "Well, that was... pleasant."
[16:30] * Chameleon totally made a good impression.
[16:30] * Swoop hangs her head low. "Better than I expected... but not much."
[16:31] * Clara frowns. "I hope... things will go better when we see them again."
[16:31] * Chameleon patpats Swoop
[16:31] * High_Hopes looks to Swoop and Swept. "How much... have you told them about Destiny?"
[16:32] * Astera watches them leave. "Seems a lovely couple." She says, more to herself then anyone else.
[16:32] <Swoop> "The upside is, they'll be better at home. Initial shock'll have worn off.."
[16:32] <Swoop> "Mostly."
[16:34] <Chameleon> "Cammy still does not understand what they are mad about."
[16:34] * Swept_Wing nods, looking over at High_Hopes. "Not much, but enough that they know what we're up to."
[16:35] <Swept_Wing> "Swoop here had the bright idea to go and get wing implants."
[16:35] * Swoop flaps her over-large wings at Cammy and shrugs.
[16:35] * Chameleon tilts her head "...wing implants? That's a thing?"
[16:35] <Swept_Wing> "And /not/ tell Mom and Dad about it."
[16:36] <Swoop> "I was /gonna/ tell them! Then I got shipped to Saddle Arabia for a year... and the Destiny..."
[16:36] * High_Hopes frowns a little. "Do they know who we are?"
[16:37] <Swept_Wing> "I know, I was there, but you could have like, I dunno, written them a letter."
[16:37] <Swoop> "They do now. Don't worry. It'll all be alright now."
[16:38] <Swept_Wing> "Yeah, but let's get home and eat! I'm starving!"
[16:38] * Swoop nods and starts down the road toward home.
[16:39] * Astera follows at a distance.
[16:39] * Chameleon follows!
[16:39] * High_Hopes follows closer to Astera. She says quietly, "I think this is going to be... really awkward..."
[16:40] <Astera> "Mhm.."
[16:41] <~High_Hopes> "What should we do?"
[16:42] <Astera> "Just be your usual charming self Hopes, it'll be okay."
[16:42] * Swept_Wing heads towards their house.
[16:43] * Clara gives High_Hopes a reassuring nudge. "We act as polite as we can! Show them that we are very likeable!"
[16:43] * High_Hopes blushes. "M-Me? Charming? Oh... well... I can try..."
[16:48] * Swoop leads the group to a rather large house on the northern end of town. It is, in a word, swanky.
[16:53] * Clara follows as Swoop and Swept lead them to their parents' house! She's ready to make a good impression!
[16:55] * High_Hopes is doing her best to compose herself. She wants to make a good impression too!
[17:00] * Chameleon is just being Cammy.
[17:10] * Swept_Wing trots up to the door, pulling it open for the others. "Head on in, wipe your hooves on the rug, mom will kill you if you track mud on the hardwood."
[17:10] * High_Hopes trots inside hesitantly, having totally changed into her Destiny uniform on the way over. >.>
[17:12] * Swoop walks in and sets her bags next to the door. "Mom, Dad, we're here."
[17:13] * Chameleon wipes her hoofsies off and heads inside after Swept_Wing
[17:13] * Clara follows inside, making sure to wipe her hooves off on the rug.
[17:14] * Astera also wipe hoofsies, leaving her belongings at the door she trots inside.
[17:15] * High_Hopes delicately wipes her hooves.
[17:15] <Swoop> "In the kitchen," comes a reply from down a hallway. "Dinner's almost ready."
[17:16] <Swept_Wing> A gruff grunt comes after that. "And no firearms in the kitchen either!"
[17:17] <Chameleon> "I didn't bring any." She blinks "Should I have brought any?"
[17:17] * Astera blinks, looking between her companions before entering the kitchen. "Firearms?" she mouths.
[17:18] * Cherry_Sky ([email protected]) has joined #fruityrumpusassholefactory
[17:18] * Swoop rolls her eyes. "We're unarmed, sir. Permission to enter the commisary."
[17:18] * Cherry_Sky ([email protected]) has left #fruityrumpusassholefactory
[17:18] <Chameleon> "Commisary?"
[17:18] <Swept_Wing> The group would note, the hallway between the door and the kitchen had a huge gun rack mounted on the wall. On it were hung various revolvers, rifles, and a large AMR.
[17:18] <Swoop> "Don't ask."
[17:19] * High_Hopes scrunches her nose a little and gently puts her bags down. "I think he means the kitchen..."
[17:19] <Swept_Wing> "Permission granted!"
[17:19] * Clara sets aside her things as well.
[17:19] * Swoop motions for the others to follow then heads down the hallway.
[17:20] * Swept_Wing follows after Swoop.
[17:21] * Chameleon slides her bag off her back with the others. She'd changed out of her swimsuit. She's just back to naked now. She follows after the pretty ponies.
[17:22] * TicTac2 ([email protected]) has joined #fruityrumpusassholefactory
[17:22] * TicTac2 is now known as Swept
[17:23] * Swept_Wing ([email protected]) Quit ( Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Swept)) )
[17:23] * Swept is now known as Swept_Wing
[17:24] <Swoop> The group emerges into a large dining room, with enough places set for everypony. The mare is standing beside the table opposite of the Stallion. "Welcome to our home. I am Lillywing."
[17:24] * Chameleon totally still has her swimsuit on on second thought
[17:26] <Swept_Wing> The stallion sets down the copy of Guns 'n Bullets he was reading. "And I'm Stormwing. I assume you're both well aquainted with Swept and Swoop, yes?"
[17:26] * High_Hopes gives her best polite smile. "Hello... I'm... High Hopes..."
[17:27] * Chameleon waves "Cammy is still Cammy!"
[17:28] <Swoop> Lilly grins politely at Cammy and Hopes. "A pleasure to make your aquaintance. And you as well, your majesty," She says, bowing to Astera.
[17:29] * Clara bows her head. "My name is Clara. It is very nice to meet you, Lillywing and Stormwing."
[17:29] * Astera smiles back, bowing slightly. "Ah, please Lillywing. Just call me Astera."
[17:31] <Swoop> Lilly nods as she straightens. "If you'll all have a seat, I'll bring dinner out shortly." Her eyes fall upon Swoop briedly, and seem to light with fire briefly, but she trots off to the kitchen quickly.
[17:32] * High_Hopes carefully climbs on to a chair. They seemed to have cooled off a little.
[17:32] <Swept_Wing> Stormwing nods to each of them, stowing the magazine away. "So, you all are what, Privates, yes?"
[17:32] * Chameleon scampers over to a chair
[17:32] * Swoop sits down at her normal seat next to her father. "Yes, sir. We are."
[17:33] * Astera takes a seat.
[17:34] * Swept_Wing trots into the kitchen to help his mom get the dinner out and set.
[17:34] * Clara waits for a moment for ponies to start sitting down, and takes a seat near Hopes and Astera.
[17:36] <Swept_Wing> Storm nods. "You can dispense with the formalities for now, Private Swoop." He says.
[17:36] * Swoop nods. "Thank you, dad."
[17:39] * Chameleon twiddles her hooves
[17:39] * High_Hopes fidgets a little.
[17:42] <Swept_Wing> Storm nods, looking over the others. "So, what's space like?"
[17:43] <Chameleon> "Big."
[17:43] * High_Hopes is very tempted to say "full of horrifying monsters that want to kill us" but decides against it. "It's... full of amazing places."
[17:45] * Clara smiles and adds, "There are so many beautiful sights!"
[17:46] <Swoop> "It's big and dangerous. We're actually the Alpha team."
[17:47] <Swept_Wing> "Oh? Well then, what are some of these sights and places?"
[17:48] <Swoop> "I'm... not sure we're allowed to say as yet..."
[17:49] <Chameleon> "Meh. I've been to a world made of ice and a desert world. Or maybe we just ended up in the pole of the planet and a desert. who knows."
[17:52] * Clara is still smiling wide. "It is something amazing, to see many different planets from up close, in orbit..."
[17:53] <Swoop> "We could probably mention Grasspony and the Mini goddess."
[17:53] <Swoop> "That was a tourist planet, I think."
[17:53] * High_Hopes nods to Clara. "I don't think I've ever closed the window in my room... the view of space is so serene..."
[17:56] <Swept_Wing> Storm nods. "Sounds... interesting. I could imagine the view would be prett y good."
[17:57] * Chameleon nods
[17:58] <Swoop> Lilly emerges with the meal balanced perfectly on her head, followed by Swept. She serves everypony in turn before seating herself. "So tell me, how is life aboard a space ship?"
[17:58] * Swept_Wing takes his seat next to his Mom.
[17:59] * Swoop begins eating her food, though not as ravenously as she normally would.
[17:59] * High_Hopes looks at her food.
[18:02] * Chameleon takes a bite while thinking "Well, it's not exactly crowded, but sometimes it feels a little cramped. It's still really nice though. The observatories are really pretty and the garden is awesome."
[18:02] <Chameleon> "Food isn't bad either."
[18:02] <Chameleon> "And speaking of food, this is very good."
[18:02] * Swept_Wing digs into his Mom's cooking. It is delish!
[18:03] * High_Hopes nods as she munches on... whatever it is that's been put on front of her. Looking at the pegasi's parents made her miss hers even more.
[18:08] * Clara gives a quiet thanks, and starts to eat as well, though slower and more savoring the taste.
[18:17] <Swoop> Lilly nods as she eats. "I'm glad you all like it."
[18:18] * High_Hopes smiles politely. "It's very good, thank you."
[18:20] * Swoop silently eats, knowing what's coming. Then, "So, Swoop. When did you get your... enhancement?"
[18:21] * Astera has been silently eating this whole time.
[18:21] * Swoop gulps. "Uhm... about two years ago."
[18:22] <Swept_Wing> "Right before we got shipped off to Saddle Arabia to help with the border skirmishes."
[18:23] * Swoop nods. Lilly looks at her son. "And you didn't tell us then... why?"
[18:25] * High_Hopes fidgets again. This is the part where she stares at her hooves for a while.
[18:26] * Swept_Wing holds his hooves up innocently. "Hey, I didn't find out until after we left."
[18:26] * Astera focuses very intently on her food. Mmmm  foood
[18:26] * Chameleon doesn't like the atmosphere here anymore. It tastes icky.
[18:27] <Swoop> "I see..." She turns back to Swoop. "I assume I don't need to tell you I'm not happy with you not telling me sooner. This is something you should've said much earlier."
[18:27] * Swoop nods. "I know."
[18:29] * Clara tries her best to keep focused on the meal, and tries to not show how awkward she feels.
[18:30] <Swept_Wing> "Mom, can we talk about this later please, we /do/ have guests."
[18:31] <Swoop> "I will only say one more thing about it, then I will drop the subject entirely."
[18:32] * High_Hopes ([email protected]) Quit ( Ping timeout: 121 seconds )
[18:32] <Swoop> Lilly straightens herself and looks squarely at her daughter. "While I may not approve of augmentation of any sort, I will say... they look lovely on you, dear."
[18:32] * Astera smiles at that.
[18:33] * Swoop smiles as well. "Thanks, mom. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
[18:34] <Swept_Wing> Storm: "Meh, enough! The food is good and we have good company! Perfect time for a war story..."
[18:34] * Swept_Wing groans and facehoofs. "Dad..."
[18:35] * Swoop facehoofs, hiding a smile. She loves his stories.
[18:36] <Astera> "Oh, a story? How nice."
[18:36] <Swoop> Lilly just smiles as she continues to eat.
[18:37] * Clara gives a quiet sigh of relief when the topic turns away from Swoop's wings... but cringes inwardly at the idea of war stories.
[18:40] <Swept_Wing> "Now, lemme tell you about this one time..."
