  1. [18:25:38] Mad_Modd in the carnage after the battle, a single raider was captured. A filly none the less, not even old enough to have her cutie mark. While being 'questioned' she began to suffer from severe withdrawal and in a desperate gambit to save the filly raider, Ragebrew, left our group and ran at best speed to the town of Swirlston. Leaving the rest of our group behind to finish cleanup...
  2. [18:26:59] Merciful_Devotion stands off to the side, over the graves of the other caravan ponies, saying her goodbyes to her friends
  3. [18:27:09] Saddle_Burr shakes his head, finally shaking the shock off as he watches the wreck explode. Holstering his rifle, he trots closer to the others. "Um...is everypony okay?"
  4. [18:27:31] =-= Ignis is now known as Pocket_Lint
  5. [18:28:25] Long-shot nods sitting down and watching the distance Rage took off towards.
  6. [18:28:26] Pocket_Lint quietly contemplates the scene, way too lost to formulate words...why, how, when....
  7. [18:30:48] Saddle_Burr sighs, stopping near the others to gaze upon the fillies bodies. "Alright, let's loot what we can and see if we can get that vehicle running...", he says in a sorrowful but determined voice.
  8. [18:32:48] Saddle_Burr "Can either of you see to the buggy?"
  9. [18:33:00] Mad_Modd Amethyst crawls up onto Long-shots back and squeaks at her
  10. [18:37:13] Long-shot ignored the familiar whispers and just stares forward and trots around a bit to keep her mind off of it.
  11. [18:38:41] Pocket_Lint lays flat on the ground, barely understanding what was going on right now.
  12. [18:39:29] Saddle_Burr spots the shallow grave Rage had dug, and starts dragging the bodies towards it. "Hey, Longshot. You were with the Rangers, right? Could you see if you could fix that buggy while I bury the corpses?"
  13. [18:39:32] Mad_Modd Amethyst squeaks at her again, almost sounding irritated with Long-shot
  14. Long-shot goes over to lay next to Pocket... she really hopes that he would hear her whispering too... your not crasy Long... I swear.. she whimpers
  15. [18:40:17] Saddle_Burr "And Pocket, could you keep watch while we work? That fire's gonna attract something to us."
  16. [18:40:30] Long-shot "I'll sook at that in a minute Saddle!, SOMEPONY GET THIS THING FOOD!" she looks around distressed and scared "She... is hungry.."
  17. [18:40:58] Pocket_Lint raises his eyes at the mare and the gecko. "Yea, sure..." He glaaares at Amethyst, stupid gecko...
  18. [18:41:21] shakes his head. "What does it eat anyways?"
  19. [18:41:24] Saddle_Burr "It'll have to wait. We need to get moving or we'll be sitting ducks when somepony sees the smoke."
  20. [18:41:59] Long-shot trots to the vechile.. slowly and very carefully..
  21. [18:44:41] Mad_Modd hmm...
  22. [18:47:22] Mad_Modd this buggy is in far better condition, primarily because it didn't crash into a brahmin. At what seems to be the drivers seat there are a few random looking gauges, it has a single wheel with an odd lever to one side and a pair of pedals on the floor. The vehicle is curently not running.
  23. [18:50:08] Pocket_Lint flies off to the buggy and examines it. "Its almost like they made this shit having in mind something else than ponies..." He flails annoyedly at the controls. "Just...how they'd expect us to run this thing?"
  24. [18:50:09] Mad_Modd Amethyst climbs up onto Long-shots head, seeming to have forgotten what she was complaining about before
  25. [18:51:13] Long-shot "Hmmmm.. Let me try something.." puts Amethyst in the seat "Please tell me you have an idea.. cause I got nuthin."
  26. [18:51:25] Saddle_Burr drags another corpse towards the grave, glancing at the mourning pony among the debris.
  27. [18:51:51] Pocket_Lint shakes his head. "Seriously, you're asking for a gecko's advice? Even if she could give it, it would only land us on disaster..."
  28. [18:52:04] Mad_Modd Amethyst just blinks at her
  29. [18:52:32] Long-shot "At least it didn't blow up this time" she mutters
  30. [18:53:30] Pocket_Lint shakes a hoof before the face of the two. "Hey, stop talking to her...that's what she wants..."
  31. [18:56:51] Saddle_Burr looks up from the grave. "Any luck with that thing?"
  32. [18:56:56] Long-shot backs away slowly not liking what Amethyst has to say
  33. [18:58:21] Pocket_Lint notices the mare's reaction and furrows a brow to the gecko...something on that little twerp set him off, he knew she was a disaster waiting to happen, EVEN if Longshot was mistaken about her speaking.
  34. [19:00:54] Mad_Modd there's a big red button next to the gauges, next to that is blue switch, there also seems to be a few seemingly random wires running to a spot under the seat
  35. [19:02:41] Pocket_Lint searches the buggy for a manual, instructions or whenever the hell was there...the fillies should had written down something, hopefully...
  36. [19:03:09] Mad_Modd Amethyst ignores Pocket and is simply looking at the controls for this odd contraption
  37. [19:03:13] Long-shot "OH HELL NO!" runs to retrieve Amethyst and sets her on her back "NO."
  38. [19:03:49] Saddle_Burr looks at the others with a weird look on his face. "What are you yelling about?"
  39. [19:04:38] Long-shot raises a hoof to say something and stops... "Ya know.. you'll all know in due time." continues inspecting not really getting to the answer
  40. [19:04:47] Pocket_Lint searches the buggy, grumbling at the lack of a manual. "Rage's stupid pet is throwing a ruckus..."
  41. [19:05:53] Long-shot "Don't worry about it Amethyst, I won't let him do anything unless you do, mmkay?"
  42. [19:06:36] Mad_Modd Amethyst squeaks at Long-shot and climbs back onto her head
  43. [19:07:16] Long-shot "I think I am finally getting to to her good side." she giggles at that statement
  44. [19:07:27] Pocket_Lint "She better not...I'm pissed enough at gettting almost killed." The pegasus grunts.
  45. [19:07:47] Long-shot "Don't worry Pocket, she's being good."
  46. [19:09:56] Pocket_Lint nods. "So far...which is better than the rest of geckos did..." He shakes his head, sighing. "Well...I guess I can live with that."
  47. [19:10:16] Long-shot petpets Amethyst
  48. [19:11:03] Saddle_Burr drags the last corpse into the shallow grave and starts covering them in sand, looking into the distance every once in a while to see if somepony's out there and squinting as the sun hits his eyes.
  49. Mad_Modd the little gecko wiggles and leans into the pet pets
  50. [19:11:21] Pocket_Lint "Anyways, what she is chattering with you? Girly stuff? " He giggles a bit.
  51. [19:12:42] Long-shot "Just secrets and other silly things" she giggles at the cute Gecko, she was really cool to have when nice, she continues petting her. "She's just telling me her plans and things she will do in the future."
  52. [19:13:55] Pocket_Lint nods. "Oh well, if she is planning to marry Rage, ask if I can be their best stallion." He laughs.
  53. [19:14:30] Long-shot stops a second.... "Amethyst... how the heck to plan to do that? And if you do can I be your personal butler or something?" continues petting questioningly...
  54. [19:15:27] Pocket_Lint opens his mouth to ask something, but closes it...it was really confusing. "Guess its no use asking if she won't "talk" to me, eh."
  55. [19:15:48] Long-shot "Mmmmkay... that still not going to just make everypony and thing bow to you... you know they are... stubborn? Anyway I think you'll need an army.. but how?"
  56. [19:16:02] "She hasn't talked to anypony but me... yet."
  57. [19:16:21] Pocket_Lint sits on the buggy and leans. "Figures..."
  58. [19:16:44] Long-shot "She won't even talk to Rage... who is probably the nicest to her..."
  59. [19:17:02] Pocket_Lint "You ever asked her why?"
  60. [19:17:26] Mad_Modd Amethyst squeaks a few times, looking at the buttons
  61. [19:17:48] Long-shot "Hey Amethyst... you know if you talk outloud the others may help you... with your plan..." suggests implicitavely
  62. [19:18:09] Pocket_Lint "She seems awfully smart for a gecko which is only a day out of its egg..."
  63. [19:18:29] Long-shot "I'd let you touch the buttons, but I'd like to know if you know what you are doing?"
  64. [19:19:02] Saddle_Burr finishes burying the dead, stands there for a moment of silence, then trots towards the buggy and the others. "Haven't you guys found out how that thing works yet?"
  65. [19:19:22] Long-shot giggles madly "Me neither, wanna help me try?"
  66. [19:20:00] "Well one of us has to. Unless we sit back, and watch them?"
  67. [19:20:14] Saddle_Burr blinks. "Are you...talking to the gecko?"
  68. [19:20:24] Long-shot "Yeah"
  69. [19:20:28] Mad_Modd Amethyst just squeaks again
  70. [19:20:42] Long-shot "She doesn't want to come out and talk to anyone else yet..."
  71. [19:20:54] Saddle_Burr blinks again. "Oooh-kayyyy...what about the buggy? Is it running yet?"
  72. [19:21:12] Pocket_Lint shrugs, let her do her way. "Anything she said about the buggy?"
  73. [19:21:25] Long-shot "I am a silly chair." she giggles "Are you sure YOU feel safe on me?" she giggles some more
  74. [19:21:53] "She knows nothing about the buttons."
  75. [19:21:59] Mad_Modd Amethyst nips her ear with a happy squeak
  76. [19:22:02] Long-shot "She just wanted to hit them"
  77. [19:22:10] Saddle_Burr facehooves and climbs onto the driver's seat. "Gah...let me try..."
  78. [19:22:14] Long-shot shakes ear "Heeey"
  79. [19:22:24] Pocket_Lint shrugs once more. "Not like we have any other idea, so..."
  80. [19:22:31] Long-shot "Go ahead."
  81. [19:23:43] Saddle_Burr hmmms and looks under the seat to see where the wires are going.
  82. [19:24:12] Mad_Modd there is a simple switch bolted to the underside of the seat
  83. [19:26:56] Long-shot trots a safe distance away and patpats Amethyst "Miss your daddy any?"
  84. [19:27:24] Pocket_Lint keeps there, if that thing was dangerous, woulda have blown up already.
  85. [19:28:03] Mad_Modd Pocket_Lint should be careful what he thinks
  86. [19:28:40] Saddle_Burr hmmmms, rubbing his chin with a hoof. Shrugs and focuses on the gauges.
  87. [19:29:11] Long-shot "Do you know if that was really your daddy?"
  88. [19:30:08] Pocket_Lint isn't sure why he felt some chill crepting down his spine...
  89. [19:31:17] thinks about something...
  90. [19:31:29] Mad_Modd there are only two gauges, one has three bars and an arrow, the first bar is green, the second yellow, the third red with 'WAAAGH!!!' crudely written on it while the other simple has an arrow pointing at either a smiley face or a frowny face
  91. [19:32:54] Pocket_Lint flies over the buggy and towards the wrecked one, trying to search the blown up vehicle for something he already saw on the functional one for comparison, that thing couldn't blow up twice, so...
  92. [19:34:21] Saddle_Burr chuckles a bit at the gauges, then yells at the others. "Alright, I'm gonna try starting this thing up. Watch out!", and flicks the blue switch.
  93. [19:34:27] Mad_Modd the other buggy is nothing more that a twisted smoldering wreck
  94. [19:35:00] a small hum can be heard coming from the engine
  95. [19:35:15] Long-shot "...are... you saying that he's still alive? Will he be mad at all? And I want you to know your "Fuzzy daddy" loves you /very/ much... Please tell me something?!"
  96. [19:35:34] Pocket_Lint is discontented by how futile his pursuits are turning out to be. He stays near Long-shot and the gecko, another futile pursuit which wouldn't talk to him.
  97. [19:35:52] Saddle_Burr pushes the big red button.
  98. [19:37:04] Mad_Modd the vehicle roars to life with a throaty growl, a few puffs of black smoke leaving the exhaust pipes
  99. [19:37:30] Saddle_Burr grins and cheers! "Yay! It's working!"
  100. [19:37:54] Long-shot "It's not gonna last forever, we should get hurrying."
  101. [19:38:22] Saddle_Burr "We would've been going for a long time already if you hadn't been more interested in playing with that gecko."
  102. [19:39:38] Long-shot "Hey look, if you knew what she was saying, you'd kill yourself, I happen to think that talking to her will benefit all of us, oh and you should stay quiet I've already saved you from her killing you, so hush!"
  103. [19:40:48] Saddle_Burr rolls his eyes. "Yeah, right. Now go get that mourning caravan guard. We can give her a lift back to where Swirlston."
  104. [19:40:57] Pocket_Lint sighs. "Can we cut out on that already? Both of you..."
  105. [19:40:59] Long-shot "Oh... sorry Amy.. I didn't want to do that to him... I tried I really did..."
  106. [19:41:16] giggles "He sure is!"
  107. [19:41:23] Pocket_Lint "Actually, the three..."
  108. [19:43:34] Saddle_Burr "Three? I only see one survivor."
  109. [19:44:33] Pocket_Lint "I mean, you, long and the geck..." He trails off to see the caravan. "Survivor?"
  110. [19:44:58] Saddle_Burr points at Merciful_Devotion. "That one over there."
  111. [19:45:56] Mad_Modd Merciful_Devotion was indeed a survivor from the caravan and she is kneeling down by the graves of the other caravan ponies, saying her goodbyes
  112. [19:46:34] Long-shot "Hey Amy, who do you trust the least here?"
  113. [19:47:30] "Thought so... don't worry, they'll get used to you eventually."
  114. [19:48:27] Pocket_Lint lounges on his sit. "Lemmme guess, I'm on her top three."
  115. [19:48:32] Pocket_Lint *seat
  116. [19:49:15] Long-shot "There is only 3 of you.. I don't count cause she talks to me."
  117. [19:50:28] Mad_Modd Amethyst chirps and crawls into Long-shots saddlebags
  118. [19:50:47] Pocket_Lint nodded. "That's a yes, then." He calmly retorts. "I don't mind really, as far as she doesn't do us har..." He perks his eyes at the survivor and flies off to her.
  119. [19:51:17] Long-shot stares at Pocket as he trots
  120. [19:51:28] Saddle_Burr resumes studying the buggy's controls, checking the gauges and everything.
  121. [19:51:41] Long-shot "Yep... I agree"
  122. [19:53:08] Mad_Modd the first gauge is doing nothing, it must show the speed of the vehicle, but the other was pointing at the frowny face and almost as if on cue the buggy sputters and shuts off, coughing out a blast of smoke
  123. [19:53:36] Pocket_Lint "Lady, errr..." He says, obviously, he wasn't comfortable. "Look, I'm gonna be blunt...there wasn't much we could do for them, but...if you wish to come along with us, at least till Swirlston, feel free to." He scratches the back of his head with a hoof
  124. [19:53:37] Saddle_Burr blinks, then tries the ignition again.
  125. [19:55:20] Mad_Modd the buggy coughs a few times then goes silent once more
  126. [19:56:26] Saddle_Burr curses and hits the wheel with a hoof! "Durnit! We're out of gas or something...what do these things run on, anyway?"
  127. [19:56:38] Mad_Modd Mercy turns and give Pocket a weak smile "Yeah... I'll go with you guys" and she makes towards the buggy and the others
  128. [19:56:55] Long-shot "I have an idea guys.. hold on." whispers to Amy
  129. [19:57:38] -->| PurpleFox ([email protected]) has joined #piss_poor_group
  130. [19:58:10] Long-shot get Amy out of her bags "Oooooh no"
  131. [19:58:40] Saddle_Burr gets off the buggy to see if there's a fuel tank or something in it.
  132. [19:58:52] Pocket_Lint perches up at the buggy, hodling up...chances were, it was going to be a bumpy ride.
  133. [19:59:36] Mad_Modd Amethyst is happily munching away on the MRE Long-shot had stashed away, she squeaks at her happily when Long-shot finds her
  134. [19:59:39] Long-shot Sees Amy ate her MRE "Amy.... what am I gonna do with you"
  135. [20:00:50] Mad_Modd Amethyst holds out what little is left and chirps at her
  136. [20:04:27] there is indeed a fuel tank, a small drum behind the drivers compartment and it was empty
  137. [20:06:18] Saddle_Burr groans. "Guys, we need to find fuel for this thing. Did you find anything in the debris that could be used for this?"
  138. [20:11:30] Mad_Modd Mercy speaks up "Oh. I was wondering what this was for." and she fishes out a small tank from her saddlebags "I think it's flamer fuel. Maybe it runs on it?"
  139. [20:13:47] Saddle_Burr cheers up when Mercy offers the fuel! "Awesome! That might be it!", he says as he takes the tank and opens it, pouring its contents into the tank. Getting up to the driver's seat, he places the empty tank next to himself and tries starting the engine again.
  140. [20:17:14] Mad_Modd the buggy roars to life once more! But only for a moment before it dies again
  141. [20:17:23] Pocket_Lint leaves Saddle to do his thing, instead, he shift a bit towards Long-shot and the gecko, examinating "Amethyst" carefully. He pokes the mare. "Hey Long...ask her if she would mind if I...petted her a bit. She can....hear me, right?" The pegasus is somewhat beffuzled.
  142. [20:17:37] |<-- PurpleFox has left luna.canternet.org (Quit: Colloquy for iPhone - http://colloquy.mobi)
  143. [20:18:58] Long-shot "Yeah.. she can...Amy... will you two please be nice? Pocket before I let you, I need to have you promise you won't harm her."
  144. [20:19:24] Saddle_Burr groans, facedesking at the wheel. Getting down from the seat, he looks under the buggy to see if there's anything broken down there.
  145. [20:19:55] Mad_Modd Amethyst hisses at him and scurries deeper into Long-shots saddlebags
  146. [20:20:13] Pocket_Lint recoils slightly. "Its okay if she..." He sits on his place, sulking a bit and sighing.
  147. [20:20:40] Long-shot facehoofs "Amy, you can stay on my head, he won't hurt you."
  148. [20:21:41] Pocket_Lint shakes his head. "Leave her be, I wasn't much really on the nice department so far...it'll take some time, if it ever works."
  149. [20:22:08] Long-shot "She's just being silly." she hugs him tired
  150. [20:23:44] Pocket_Lint shrugs and huggles back the mare. "She is just a kid, after all..." The pegasus looks down at his armor. "I'll guess I'm gonna change up..." He takes the metal armor from his bag. "Pink...still, should hold me better." The pegasus strips and starts dressing up that weird armor...
  151. [20:24:09] feels....fabulous?
  152. [20:25:44] Long-shot sighs "Amy, do you listen to your daddy?" she grins at her idea
  153. [20:25:56] Mad_Modd nothing seems wrong initially, but once Saddle_Burr took a closer look he can see that some random... can thing under the engine is crushed, probably from recklessly driving across the desert
  154. [20:26:51] Saddle_Burr grumbles and reaches over to see if he can pull it out without breaking anything.
  155. [20:26:59] Pocket_Lint finishes setting the armor and stores his old one...thankfully, the raider king was a pegasus as well, so...no need for modifications, just slight stretching.
  156. [20:27:22] Long-shot "Alright fake nap, just know that you listen to him, and him to me, try something silly, and you'll get him mad... not wise." she shakes her head with a smile.
  157. [20:27:56] Mad_Modd there is something... sticky around the neck of Pocket_Lint's new armor
  158. [20:28:30] the can thing is stuck
  159. [20:29:19] Pocket_Lint puts a hoof around the neck, taking off some undistinct yellowy mass...it smelled awful, like rotten dairy. He scrunches his nose.
  160. [20:29:21] Saddle_Burr groans and crawls out from under the buggy. "Longshot, can you take a look at this?"
  161. [20:30:03] Long-shot trots over to Saddle to help
  162. [20:30:07] Pocket_Lint flies off to the side and scrapes off the cheese...good celestia...
  163. [20:30:50] "Why would anypony wear cheesy neckguards?"
  164. [20:31:05] Saddle_Burr waits for Long-shot to arrive. "There's something broken under it. A can of some sort."
  165. [20:32:18] takes out his cantees and drinks while Long-shot works.
  166. [20:32:22] Mad_Modd Long-shot reaches up and simply unscrews it
  167. [20:32:43] Long-shot grins at him and holds it up to him
  168. [20:33:14] Mad_Modd it seems to be some kind of fuel filter, and its partly crushed, stopping the flow through it
  169. [20:33:31] Saddle_Burr lets out a small "Heh" at the thing. "Can you fix it?"
  170. [20:33:49] Long-shot "Only one way to find out." she giggles keeping her grin
  171. [20:34:12] Pocket_Lint finishes and flies toward the rest of the group, observing them.
  172. [20:35:20] Saddle_Burr looks up at Pocket_Lint. "Nice, uh...armor..."
  173. [20:35:24] Mad_Modd Mercy rolls her eyes at the obviously crazy ponies and lays down in the back of the buggy
  174. [20:36:21] Pocket_Lint smiles. "Yea, should definately stand some damage...pink is pink, eh...just a color."
  175. [20:37:09] Saddle_Burr smirks. "I'm sure all the fillies in Swirlston are gonna love it."
  176. [20:38:29] Pocket_Lint "If there's any fillies there, eh...with this kind of thing, should be able to out-fab any enemies."
  177. [20:38:59] Long-shot removes each piece as best she can, she attempts to separate all the pieces
  178. [20:39:04] Saddle_Burr snerks and chuckles!
  179. [20:39:39] Pocket_Lint snickers as well. "They'll fear the pink."
  180. [20:42:31] Saddle_Burr "Well, seriously speaking, you should at least rub some dirt on it. That pink will look like a target out there in the wastes."
  181. [20:42:58] Pocket_Lint "I'll wash it on blood."
  182. [20:43:14] Long-shot twitches and looks at them
  183. [20:45:18] "Does anypony have a bottle or can? It juuuust might be able to work..."
  184. [20:45:29] Saddle_Burr raises an eyebrow at Pocket_Lint, then turns to look at the smoldering wreck. "I'll go see if I could find any spare parts in that hulk.", he says and trots towards it.
  185. [20:47:21] Pocket_Lint "I have a few bottles, Burr probably won't find anything useable there." The pegasus takes one of the bottles filled with water. He immediately thinks about drinking it, but...something else comes to mind. He looks at Long-shot. "Say, isn't she thirsty?"
  186. [20:47:29] Mad_Modd Saddle_Burr only manages to salvage a little scrap metal from the wreck
  187. [20:48:02] Saddle_Burr returns with the meager pile of metal in his mouth. "Bleh, this stuff tastes awful..."
  188. [20:51:17] Long-shot scavenges and uses small parts and tubish things from the scrap seeing if anything looks like it can work.
  189. [20:52:09] Mad_Modd somehow the mare manages to make a brand new fuel filter out of nothing but scraps and chewing gum, where she got the chewing gum is a mystery
  190. [20:53:34] Long-shot giggles madly at her inventiveness and puts the filter back in place and screws it all back carefully, she grins at Saddle "See, easy!"
  191. [20:54:14] Mad_Modd Amethyst pokes her head out of Long-shots saddlebags and chirps at her before gong back to her nap
  192. [20:54:32] Pocket_Lint isn't sure if that would hold up for long...eh, let the new owner worry about that when they's sell it.
  193. [20:54:39] Saddle_Burr smiles, patting Long-shot on a shoulder and climbs back onto the driver's seat. "Great! Now let me try to start it!"
  194. [20:55:29] Long-shot "Your darn straight I am!" she giggles "Now rest."
  195. [20:57:17] Mad_Modd the buggy roars to life immediately, the fuel gauge looking to show about 1/5 of a tank
  196. Long-shot rubs against Pocket "I wonder what other things I can do?" she says implicitly into Pockets ear nipping at it a little.
  197. [20:57:46] Saddle_Burr "Alright, everypony! Get on board, we're going to Swirlston in style!"
  198. [20:57:52] Mad_Modd a small groan can be head from Long-shots saddlebags
  199. [20:58:25] Long-shot "Oops... you weren't supposed to hear that..." she blushes a bt
  200. [20:58:54] Pocket_Lint purrs and leans a bit onto the mare. "Oooh, too bad." He smirks, nuzzling into her.
  201. [20:59:01] Long-shot whispers something into her saddle bags
  202. [21:00:36] "Go to sleep Amy, quit being so silly"
  203. [21:01:45] gets into the buggy ready to go, motions for Pocket to come sit next to her.
  204. [21:03:31] Pocket_Lint flies off and sits near Long-shot, very close to her. "Should do the trick, eh..." He smiles. "You're quite good with machines, that's what you did when you were with the rangers, right?"
  205. [21:04:50] Long-shot looks down "hehe... not technically..." she nervous laughs "I kinda just toyed with things that were highly dangerous and very powerful knowing that things could go wrong... I didn't exactly go at open hours either...."
  206. [21:06:00] whispers to her saddle bags once more
  207. [21:06:05] Mad_Modd Saddle_Burr steps on what he thinks is the gas and the buggy stalls out
  208. [21:06:19] Pocket_Lint wraps a hoof over her back. "Come on, don't be so humble...you did a great job, that thing with the car...it wasn't your fault." He nods. "It was beyond your power, that thing..."
  209. [21:07:17] Saddle_Burr blinks and starts the engine again, trying another pedal.
  210. [21:07:41] Long-shot "Uhm... Saddle... I know how to drive tanks... I think I'd be a better shot at driving..."
  211. [21:08:05] Pocket_Lint "Yeah, but what about the gecko? If she keeps you distracted, its no good..."
  212. [21:08:29] Long-shot "She's asleep and I know you'll be trying to make out with me as I drive..."
  213. [21:08:33] Saddle_Burr looks at Long-shot. "You do? Where did the Rangers get tanks?", he wonders while switching places with Long-shot.
  214. [21:08:56] Long-shot itches her mane alot, a whole lot "Uhm... Uhm.... I dunno???"
  215. [21:09:08] Pocket_Lint blushes. "I could wait...for that."
  216. [21:09:45] Long-shot "Just... don't worry about it..."
  217. [21:10:31] "Even if we did find a tank I wouldn't exactly know... how to use it... we didn't exactly have tanks... but there were some around the wasted..."
  218. [21:10:34] Pocket_Lint "Yes, you're right."
  219. [21:11:34] Long-shot "So um.. ya know I'll just leave the choice to you.."
  220. [21:12:19] Saddle_Burr smirks. "Just get behind the wheel. I'll ride shotgun."
  221. [21:12:34] Long-shot nods and trades places with him
  222. [21:13:03] Pocket_Lint sits on the back and gazes over the wasteland.
  223. [21:13:34] Long-shot hits a pedal that he hasn't used and hopes it's the one...
  224. [21:15:29] Mad_Modd Long-shot has stomped on the break, doing nothing
  225. [21:18:00] Saddle_Burr grins at Long-shot. "Any time you're ready."
  226. [21:18:24] Pocket_Lint looks over at the driver mare. "I think you hit the parador..."
  227. [21:19:06] Long-shot hits it hoping it works
  228. [21:25:33] Merciful_Devotion giggles a bit. "Try the one /next/ to the break."
  229. [21:25:38] Mad_Modd hitting it dose not help
  230. [21:27:02] Pocket_Lint "Try the next one, then."
  231. [21:27:26] Saddle_Burr keeps watch while the others work out the mysteries of the machine.
  232. [21:27:34] Long-shot tries the one next to it happily
  233. [21:28:20] Mad_Modd Long-shot has done the same thing as Saddle_Burr stalling the buggy out
  234. [21:29:56] Saddle_Burr groans. "Not again..."
  235. [21:31:17] Merciful_Devotion leans forward a bit. "Hey Long, mind letting me at the wheel?"
  236. [21:31:44] Long-shot "Not at all, this stupid pony needs a break before she kills us." sighs and moves
  237. [21:32:51] Pocket_Lint hugs the mare as she sits on the back again. "Nopony is blaming you."
  238. [21:34:10] Merciful_Devotion climbs into the now-vacant seat, looking at the controls and levers. "Hmm..." She tries using the lever next to the driver's seat and steps on what she thought was the gas.
  239. [21:35:25] Mad_Modd after Mercy starts the buggy, she grips the lever, pushing it forward with a horrible grinding noise before something catches, and lo and behold the buggy lurches forward slowly as she gently steps on the gas pedal
  240. [21:40:45] Saddle_Burr cheers as the buggy starts moving!
  241. [21:43:18] Merciful_Devotion grins. "Whoo!"
  242. [21:45:23] Mad_Modd after a few moment to properly learn how the machine works, the group turn and begin to head towards Swirlston. After a rather short time they begin to come up on the old 'Starswirl Mana' station that was now used as a trade post. A pair of guards eye them and there vehicle nervously as they approach.
  243. [21:47:10] Saddle_Burr eyes the guard warily. "Alright, who wants to speak to them?", he asks, turning around to look at the others?
  244. [21:47:53] Mad_Modd one of the guards, a dirty brown earth pony stallion, come up and says "What the fuck is that thing?"
  245. [21:49:24] Ragebrew looks up from his small place near the city wall at the sound of the rumbling engine. "Ah, bout time they got that thing up and running."
  246. [21:49:39] Merciful_Devotion brings the buggy to a slow, if slightly jerky stop. "I could, so long as somepony has my back while I do...."
  247. [21:50:44] Saddle_Burr nods at Mercy. "Tell them we're looking for a friend of ours, called Ragebrew. He's got a ragged coat and a green mane."
  248. [21:54:50] Merciful_Devotion waves at the brown stallion. "
  249. [21:55:19] Merciful_Devotion "Hey sir? Have you seen a friend of ours? Ragged coat and a green mane?"
  250. [21:59:01] Mad_Modd the looks at Mercy for a moment then smiles "Oh hey pretty filly! I thought you left with that caravan earlier? What are you doing back so soon?"
  251. [22:00:33] Merciful_Devotion frowns and looks down. "We... Got attacked by raiders... I'm the only one left..."
  252. [22:01:51] Mad_Modd he sighs "We were hoping that ruckus we heard before wasn't you guys. Now tell me who are your friends and who was you looking for again?"
  253. [22:03:39] Amethyst is once again on Long-shots head
  254. [22:03:51] Merciful_Devotion motions to the other ponies in their group, then blinks. "Um... I actually never got their names..."
  255. [22:04:30] Long-shot "They call me Long-shot" she says purring into Pocket
  256. [22:05:22] Saddle_Burr nods at the guard. "Name's Saddle Burr. We were sent from Busted Flats to greet the caravan and escort it there, but looks like we were late."
  257. [22:06:10] Pocket_Lint holds into Long-shot, still on his pink armor. "I'm Pocket."
  258. [22:07:30] Merciful_Devotion smiles. "They fixed me up after the attack..."\
  259. [22:08:33] Mad_Modd the guard suppresses a giggle at Pocket "Well ain't you pretty. Well there Mercy if they're friends of yours then I guess there ok. Now you said something about a friend o yours comin through?"
  260. [22:08:58] Saddle_Burr "A friend of ours should've come this way some time ago. He was carrying an injured filly, so you can't have missed him."
  261. [22:11:08] Mad_Modd he ponders for a moment "Had some big buck come through here a few hours ago with a drugged out filly. Sent him to the docs. Came back through bout an hour ago. Think he mentioned you lot too. Well he should be round here. If'in he knew about that contraption he probably heard it and is on his way back"
  262. [22:12:22] Saddle_Burr "Alright. We'll just park this somewhere and go looking for him, then."
  263. [22:12:28] Ragebrew appears right on cue, looking as ragged as always. "Bout time ya lot figured that thing out. Was hoping ya'd be able to figure something out made by fillies."
  264. [22:12:50] Saddle_Burr "Oh, there he is. Har de har, Rage."
  265. [22:13:16] Saddle_Burr hops off the buggy. "How's the filly?"
  266. [22:13:35] Merciful_Devotion waves over at the stallion, sticking her tongue out.. "Hush you, this thing was more beat up than anything I've seen before."
  267. [22:13:57] Mad_Modd the guard waves and heads back to his post "Have a stop at the shop and don't cause no trouble. Welcome to Swirlston!"
  268. [22:14:23] Amethyst squeaks and wiggles at Ragebrews return
  269. [22:14:25] Pocket_Lint nods at the guard's advice. "We should really take some time to offload our junk."
  270. [22:14:31] Long-shot quickly hops out "Hows the filly... oh yeah..." points to Amethyst on her head.
  271. [22:14:58] Ragebrew pointed towards the walled off entrance to the mine. "She's being tended to by the local doc. Got her hooked up to some fancy rig. Speaking of that, we need to either cough up three hundred caps, or do a little wax hunting." He tipped his hat to Merciful. "Glad to see yer well enough to be snide, ma'am." He trotted over and offered his hatted head to Amethyst to rest on. "Hope she wasn't too much fuss."
  272. [22:15:17] Merciful_Devotion hops out after them, waving up at the guards. "Watch our ride for us?"
  273. [22:15:20] Ragebrew trotted over and offered his hatted head to Amethyst to rest on. "Hope she wasn't too much fuss."
  274. [22:16:50] Mad_Modd the guard from before trots back up and shrugs "For a pretty filly like you. Of coarse" smiling warmly at her
  275. [22:18:01] Long-shot points to Ragebrew "I want to talk to you about something later."
  276. [22:18:29] Mad_Modd Amethyst remains on Long-shots head, chirping at Ragebrew
  277. [22:19:01] Long-shot petpets Amy "Good girl"
  278. [22:19:26] Pocket_Lint stands around, stretching his legs. "Eh, no filles...not sure if its good or bad, eh." He chuckles.
  279. [22:19:37] Merciful_Devotion smiles back at the stallion. "Thanks~"
  280. [22:20:14] Ragebrew looks at the little gecko and shrugs. "Well, guess she likes ya more Long-shot." He pointed over to the trade post "They got a lotta toys in there. Think we might wanna get some gear before we go head out to kill some bees."
  281. [22:20:44] Saddle_Burr blinks in surprise. "300 caps? We don't have that kind of bits. How can the doc be so expensive?"
  282. [22:20:49] Long-shot "Oh, and get Amy some food, she's a little scavenger if ya don't" she giggles
  283. [22:20:57] "Yes I do Saddle"
  284. [22:21:15] Saddle_Burr "Huh? You have 300 caps in your bags?"
  285. Long-shot giggles and grins "Were's the store, I wanna trade."
  286. [22:21:37] Ragebrew looks over at Saddle and frowns as he fished out the bloatsprite meat he got earlier, offering it to Amethyst. "Because she's the only doc in this entire wrecked waste with the equipment to heal her. She can charge what she damn well pleases."
  287. [22:21:45] Long-shot "Just wait Saddle, oh and were gonna find that wax, I ain't wastin 300 caps if possible"
  288. [22:21:47] Pocket_Lint "Bees? I'm not getting a good vibe from that..."
  289. [22:22:04] Merciful_Devotion "Me niether..."
  290. [22:22:12] Long-shot giggles some more "We should paint Pocket and have him fly in there"
  291. [22:22:18] Ragebrew "I managed to get the makings for a score of smoke bombs. Figure we just smoke 'em out, then take a good amount."
  292. [22:22:25] Saddle_Burr "Blah...no rest for the wicked then..."
  293. [22:22:45] Pocket_Lint mulls over. "Yes, and this armor could use some painting..."
  294. [22:22:56] Saddle_Burr chuckles. "Told ya..."
  295. [22:23:14] Long-shot "Hey Amy now that your up..." whispers to her
  296. [22:24:05] Merciful_Devotion giggles softly. "I still say we unload some of this stuff if we can before we go."
  297. [22:24:09] Pocket_Lint "But then, I'd lose on my fab-rating...I mean, can you just imagine they saying. "Whoa...that guy dresses in pink...and he is totally kicking our asses! Rad!" "
  298. [22:24:14] Ragebrew "We have two, three days to do it, Saddle. Not expecting to head out before we get some rest. No way yer getting me to go another mile."
  299. [22:24:33] "As for yer armor Pocket, I'm getting ya some steel wool to scrub that paint off."
  300. [22:24:46] Saddle_Burr looks at the mana stations. "Well, let's go see what the post has to...offer...", he trails off as he hears Long-shot talking to the gecko again.
  301. [22:25:02] Mad_Modd sadly no steel wool is available
  302. [22:25:18] Long-shot "Alright gang, lets go do some trading, I got me an idea or two!"
  303. [22:25:41] Saddle_Burr leans closer to Rage and whispers: "I think Long's been in the sun too long. She's started talking to that gecko of yours..."
  304. [22:26:47] Ragebrew looked at Saddle, and shrugged. "Eh, she's bonding. Everypony loves to have a pet. Maybe a friend, if she's as smart as those other geckos. So long as she doesn't start saying it's the voice of Celestia coming out of Amethyst, I'm fine with it."
  305. [22:27:10] Long-shot twitches "WHA_WHA_WHA" goes pale "k-k-catch Amy" starts to fall over.
  306. [22:27:37] Saddle_Burr blinks at Long-shot. "What now?"
  307. [22:28:02] Long-shot is on the ground snow white all over... even though that's her natural color...
  308. [22:28:03] Mad_Modd Amethyst squeaks from atop Ragebrews head
  309. [22:28:33] Pocket_Lint shakes his head and looks aside, again with the gecko...
  310. [22:28:44] Merciful_Devotion blinks. "Um..."
  311. [22:28:50] Long-shot "B-b-b- how...... Amy please tell me..."
  312. [22:29:02] "That's... impossible..."
  313. [22:29:10] Saddle_Burr trots to Long-shot and pokes her with a hoof. "Is everything okay, Long?"
  314. [22:29:25] Long-shot ignores and waits for answer.
  315. [22:29:32] Ragebrew looks up, hearing the squeak and feeling the weight on his head. "So she wasn't sun addled."
  316. [22:30:09] Saddle_Burr looks back at Ragebrew. "Huh? What're you talking about?"
  317. [22:30:17] Long-shot sighs "Oh my... that scared me a second... I thought that was something else.." draws air back in her lungs
  318. [22:30:34] Merciful_Devotion blinks more. "Are... You okay in the head there?"
  319. [22:30:50] Saddle_Burr looks back at Long-shot, raising an eyebrow at her. "...you sure you're okay?"
  320. [22:30:58] Long-shot "Fine.. just totally misunderstood Amy for a second there..."
  321. [22:31:11] Saddle_Burr gives Rage a meaningful look.
  322. [22:31:35] Long-shot "She won't talk to you guys... I dunno why..."
  323. [22:31:42] Ragebrew scoops Amethyst off his head, putting the little gecko on the ground before hunching down infront of her. "She's talking to ya, and I know yer talking back. Normally I am fine with little secrets between friends, but if yer gonna be staying with us, ya'd best not be hiding a dagger under her cloak."
  324. [22:32:01] Mad_Modd the guard raises and eyebrow at these shenanigans "Umm... we got a doc if she needs one."
  325. [22:32:24] Long-shot "I'm okay!"
  326. [22:32:26] Merciful_Devotion scratches her head, totally confused.
  327. [22:32:32] Saddle_Burr "Huh? Come on, it's a gecko! It can't be talking back to her."
  328. [22:32:55] Long-shot "Mercy... this Gecko talks to me, only me, I'm not crasy, she's just... shy.."
  329. [22:32:56] Mad_Modd Amethyst just chirps and almost seems to gin
  330. [22:33:09] Ragebrew looks up to Saddle. "And the tribe she came from used guns, had armor, and could speak. Plus, she ain't colored like any gecko I have ever seen before. Sisters only know what she is capable of."
  331. [22:34:15] Saddle_Burr sighs. "Fine...but I'll still doubt it until I hear it myself.", he says as he trots towards the trading post.
  332. [22:34:29] Long-shot "Amy.. can you do me a favor?"
  333. [22:34:38] Merciful_Devotion looks down at the gecko. "Um... Hi?"
  334. [22:35:08] Long-shot "Next time your up and Saddle is sleeping, can you give him horrid nightmares about your future goals... so he knows... please?"
  335. [22:35:12] Mad_Modd Amethyst just squeaks happily up at Mercy
  336. [22:35:57] Saddle_Burr enters the trading post, looking at the shelves to see what they've got for sale there.
  337. [22:36:00] Long-shot "So she squeaks to you guys... but talks to me... Oh Amy I want to say I'm very proud at how your language is forming, very nice." she nods happily
  338. [22:36:08] follows Saddle inside
  339. [22:36:26] Pocket_Lint just shrugs and enters the shop.
  340. [22:36:28] Ragebrew looks at Amethyst, and narrows his eyes. "Yer fucking with one of my friends, little one. Ya've seen what I do to folks who fuck with my friends. So I am gonna have to ask ya to kindly stop fucking with her."
  341. [22:36:50] Merciful_Devotion frowns. "I'm... Kinda thinking you're out of it...
  342. [22:37:00] Long-shot "Rage, she's actually turning out nice, it's alright, I'll tell you if it's not."
  343. [22:37:11] "She actually loves you alot by the way."
  344. [22:37:39] "She is adorable and kind, she used to scare me but she's growing up so fast." wipes a proud fake tear from her eye
  345. [22:37:44] Ragebrew looked at Long-shot. "Ya randomly collasped outta no where, and yer saying she's giving ya nightmares. That troubles me greatly."
  346. [22:38:21] Long-shot "Nooooo not me nightmares, I have never had any nightmares. And I collapsed cause I thought she said that I was her mother."
  347. [22:38:28] Merciful_Devotion shakes her head and follows the other ponies inside.
  348. [22:38:33] Mad_Modd inside a board looking stallion reading a book looks up "Oh hey there. What can I get for ya? We got a bit o everything here" as he motions around the shop, a few standing shelves with food stuff in the middle of the store, most of the expensive items are behind the counter
  349. [22:38:38] Long-shot "Like birth mother..."
  350. [22:39:15] Pocket_Lint "Still, its not right to tear her apart from her kind..." The pegasus sighs. "As much as she likes you, you are no gecko...she isn't your daughter or something like that."
  351. [22:39:49] Ragebrew chuckled. "Now yer making me think ya are a touch sun addled. Come on, sure there are somethings in there ya'd drool over. Couple things I drooled over."
  352. [22:40:34] Mad_Modd Amethyst crawls back up onto Ragebrews back with a happy chirp
  353. [22:41:01] Merciful_Devotion giggles a bit. "If they have some good stuff, I might be tempted to trade over my cannon."
  354. [22:41:23] Ragebrew nudged Amethyst with a hoof gently. "As for ya, young lady, if ya have something to say, say it to all of us. No making Long think she's going insane."
  355. [22:42:49] chuckled and shifted around to make a good little nest for Amethyst. "Heh, guess she is sane as the rest of us. Come on Long, we got caps to burn."
  356. [00:05:37] Mad_Modd after much haggling, buying and selling both parties are content with the exchange of caps
  357. [00:07:38] oh group has finally gotten to Swirlton, riding in the odd filly built ramshackle contraption. They still have many things to do but they are making head way towards... something. What is the deal with the melted cheese and what exactly is Amethyst? Maybe they will find out next time... but probably not
  358. [00:08:11] for fixing the buggy and good RP the group receives 500xp
