  1. Nov 17 12:08:23 <TenMihara|GM> *****PnP Group 13, Hoofington Sucks; Session 52*****
  2. Nov 17 12:08:50 <TenMihara|GM> Learning
  3. Nov 17 12:08:56 <TenMihara|GM> There's no such thing as a painless lesson
  4. Nov 17 12:09:41 <TenMihara|GM> Anyone in the wasteland can tell you that
  5. Nov 17 12:09:47 <TenMihara|GM> Some people never learn though
  6. Nov 17 12:09:56 <TenMihara|GM> but those that do, can find themselves at an advantage
  7. Nov 17 12:10:38 * AndroUser2 is now known as Rime|P
  8. Nov 17 12:11:55 <TenMihara|GM> Learning history can help you avoid repeating its mistakes
  9. Nov 17 12:12:07 <TenMihara|GM> learning how to use a weapon can keep you alive
  10. Nov 17 12:13:10 <Proverb> \
  11. Nov 17 12:13:56 <TenMihara|GM> Learning how to read can open up whole new worlds
  12. Nov 17 12:14:17 <TenMihara|GM> Ultimately though, what most ponies really need to learn, is to let go.
  13. Nov 17 12:14:39 <TenMihara|GM> Of hatred, of grudges, of unfortunate things in their past
  14. Nov 17 12:14:57 <TenMihara|GM> Only when you let go of these burdens can you truly learn what it means to be alive
  15. Nov 17 12:17:30 <TenMihara|GM> Will our wastelanders ever be free to truly live?
  16. Nov 17 12:17:35 <TenMihara|GM> I guess we'll find out...
  17. Nov 17 12:17:40 <TenMihara|GM> *****Session Begins*****
  18. Nov 17 12:21:26 <TenMihara|GM> The party continues their trek towards the Society
  19. Nov 17 12:23:04 * Proverb trots along next to Harmony, making adjustments to the scope on her newly aquired SVD as they went.
  20. Nov 17 12:23:12 * Rime|P eyes Missile. Less malice and more creative imaginings as she contemplates how to make him look less like a bum
  21. Nov 17 12:27:07 * Harmony continues to trot, eyes forward as she steels herself for returning to Elysium.
  22. Nov 17 12:28:13 * Logic is busily reading. He was at a particularly dry part in the text. He was eying any means of making it more interesting, trying to find something in there to make it a joke, trying to find something interesting about the pictures. No matter how you cut it, mathematically proving scientific theories is boring as shit.
  23. Nov 17 12:28:20 * Rime|P pipes up. "so... Am i doing alterations or no?"
  24. Nov 17 12:28:38 * Missile_Rush trots along as well, seemingly lost in thought.
  25. Nov 17 12:29:36 * Green_Field trots along, wondering how to make Harmony look sick without it looking contagious and thinking about how this plan could get fucked up fast.
  26. Nov 17 12:34:10 * Rime|P grumbles. She takes a few steps left and brushes up against Logic "Do you understand the plan?"
  27. Nov 17 12:36:06 * Logic blehs, and decides he's probably not going to be able to get anything more out of the textbook today. He was impressive for his reading ability as it was, getting a large chunk of it while on the trail. It was at the precise moment where the book clapped shut that he got an idea. "Nope. But I'll do whatever needs to be done." He looked at Harmony. 'Hey, Harmony. Quick, probably stupid...
  28. Nov 17 12:36:07 * Logic ...question. Do they have a wall or any means against us just... Y'no, teleporting in past security?"
  29. Nov 17 12:39:12 * Harmony shakes her head. "A wall around Elysium, yes... but I suppose that would not impede us from teleporting, correct?"
  30. Nov 17 12:39:58 <Green_Field> "No, but the ponies that would wonder how we got in would."
  31. Nov 17 12:40:34 <Proverb> "Yeah, and as much as I'm all for a gung-ho guns blazing infiltration..."
  32. Nov 17 12:41:55 * Logic smirks. "What if they didn't see us coming in."
  33. Nov 17 12:41:58 * Rime|P snorts. "I dont think gungho guns blazing and infiltration belong in the same sentence "
  34. Nov 17 12:42:26 <Proverb> "Well, assault is a better wording there."
  35. Nov 17 12:42:42 <Green_Field> "So, is idiocy."
  36. Nov 17 12:43:38 * Missile_Rush turns to the squabbling ponies behind him. "Don't we have better things to focus on?"
  37. Nov 17 12:44:18 <Green_Field> "Keeping ponies alive is my job and telling them when a plan would get them killed is part of that."
  38. Nov 17 12:45:16 * Rime|P cocks an eyebrow. "Like what? Cause im pretty sure figuring out what the vague plan is is something we should be focusing on."
  39. Nov 17 12:47:35 * Rime|P keeps pace. Walk and talk
  40. Nov 17 12:48:21 * Proverb looks around before taking to the air. "How far away are we?"
  41. Nov 17 12:50:32 * Logic shakes his head at Harmony. "I need line of sight. If I don't have that, I could teleport us into a rock." He pauses. "Actually, not really, since there are contingencies in the spell I use against that sort of thing, but on the same token, I have no idea where we'd end up." He addresses Rime, next. "I guess it depends on how we want to cut it. I could try to phase through the wall and we...
  42. Nov 17 12:50:34 * Logic ...could try to pass ourselves off as them, or we could try to go up to the checkpoint if that's how it works and try to trick them into letting us in."
  43. Nov 17 12:50:42 * Harmony keeps pace, nodding to Rime. "About another hour and a half, at this rate."
  44. Nov 17 12:51:55 <Green_Field> "Isn't going through the checkpoint and thus not getting shot on the other side the entire point of the deception planning?"
  45. Nov 17 12:52:58 * Rime|P keeps her eyes peeled for a fucked up wagon or something that could be converted. She thought they needed a wagon for 'the plan'
  46. Nov 17 12:58:34 <TenMihara|GM> Rime doesn't spy anything useful
  47. Nov 17 12:59:02 * Proverb gazes around the area as well. "We're looking for a wagon, right?"
  48. Nov 17 13:00:12 * Missile_Rush looks for a wagon as well.
  49. Nov 17 13:01:03 <TenMihara|GM> Neither of the fliers spot anything either
  50. Nov 17 13:01:41 * Harmony joins in the search, scanning the area.
  51. Nov 17 13:05:21 <TenMihara|GM> Green_Field can spot... nothing. In the area there doesn't seem to be any unattended or abandoned wagons to find
  52. Nov 17 13:06:06 <Proverb> "Nothing... anyone else see anything?"
  53. Nov 17 13:07:09 * Rime|P huffs. "Not a fucking thing."
  54. Nov 17 13:11:40 * Logic looks up. "Hnnh? I was thinking about something."
  55. Nov 17 13:13:08 * Rime|P gives Logic a rump bump before trotting up a bit farther up, climbing up on Razor. Fuck walking.
  56. Nov 17 13:13:13 <Green_Field> "Can't we teleport back to the wagon we found before assaulting the taintlings and take it?"
  57. Nov 17 13:13:29 * AlternateTac (TicTac@Pony-ca0vpf.nat.iastate.edu) has joined
  58. Nov 17 13:14:10 * Proverb has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  59. Nov 17 13:14:30 * Logic smiles and watches as Rime scurries off before adopting his old blank demeanor again.
  60. Nov 17 13:14:57 * AlternateTac is now known as Proverb
  61. Nov 17 13:20:25 * Rime|P has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  62. Nov 17 13:21:50 * Rime|phone (androirc@Pony-07d.kuf.252.216.IP) has joined
  63. Nov 17 13:21:54 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy blinks, then prods Green_Field, pulling out her writing pad. 'Gold Standard'
  64. Nov 17 13:23:04 * Green_Field thinks a moment. "Right, she's likely going to be there. How much did we tell her about us?"
  65. Nov 17 13:23:30 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shakes her head. 'You saved her when you found me. Maybe she'll do us a favour?'
  66. Nov 17 13:25:00 <Green_Field> "That's true, she might. We left her in Flank, but we don't know if she's still there or has left to do back to Elysium."
  67. Nov 17 13:25:08 <Green_Field> go*
  68. Nov 17 13:25:48 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shakes her head, 'Those merchants took her back to the Society first, then the taintling took them again when they were going back to flank. I think.'
  69. Nov 17 13:26:48 <Green_Field> "Yes, then we rescued them again and escorted them to Flank and left them there."
  70. Nov 17 13:27:07 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shakes her head, 'Gold wasn't there the second time, so she must be here.'
  71. Nov 17 13:27:58 <TenMihara|GM> *should
  72. Nov 17 13:29:15 <Green_Field> "We would still need a way to talk with her which means we'd either need to sneak in or decieve our way in. That leaves us right where we already are."
  73. Nov 17 13:29:17 <Rime|phone> /me lips out a cigarette and starts chewing the end lightly. Need something...
  74. Nov 17 13:31:21 * Rime|phone moves the smoke around. "If we have a fucking in, why dont we just ask tge gate guard to fetch her?"
  75. Nov 17 13:32:53 <Proverb> "Or, we could do the original plan, and just pretty much walk in like nothing's really wrong."
  76. Nov 17 13:37:07 * Rime|phone looks up. "We dont look too merchanty"
  77. Nov 17 13:37:45 <Proverb> "Do we need to? We have caps, we have loot, what do we need to look like to sell that?"
  78. Nov 17 13:38:47 * AndroUser2 (androirc@Pony-07d.kuf.252.216.IP) has joined
  79. Nov 17 13:41:21 * Rime|phone has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  80. Nov 17 13:42:50 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shrugs.
  81. Nov 17 13:43:11 <TenMihara|GM> She didn't really understand the concept of class divisions anyways
  82. Nov 17 13:43:24 * AndroUser2 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  83. Nov 17 13:47:18 * Rime|road (androirc@Pony-e37g4f.il.frontiernet.net) has joined
  84. Nov 17 13:49:01 * Rime "Just sayin'. If we say we are merchants, but we don't have a way to move merchadise, that's a flag. It would make me look harder at us, and we don't fucking need scrutiny."
  85. Nov 17 13:49:32 * AndroUser2 (androirc@Pony-694.aot.116.199.IP) has joined
  86. Nov 17 13:50:13 * Rime|road has quit (Connection closed)
  87. Nov 17 13:51:01 <Proverb> "Then we say that our wagon got destroyed in a Raider attack."
  88. Nov 17 13:51:57 * Rime finds herself /really/ wanting to light this damn cigarette... she just feels like she /needs/ it. Makes her grumpy. "They why do we have caps if all our shit got wiped out by raiders?"
  89. Nov 17 13:51:57 * Logic blinks. "How come we can't just say we're friends of Gold Standard and have come to visit or something?"
  90. Nov 17 13:52:27 * Harmony blinks. "That... may work, so long as I am disguised."
  91. Nov 17 13:52:51 <Green_Field> "No problem there."
  92. Nov 17 13:53:01 <Proverb> "And that will get us all in."
  93. Nov 17 13:53:06 <Proverb> "So win-win."
  94. Nov 17 13:53:34 * AndroUser2 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  95. Nov 17 13:55:03 * Rime snorts. "And that's what I was saying! If we have somepony on the inside, why don't we /fucking/ use it instead of trying to come up with a halfassed story full of holes!"
  96. Nov 17 13:55:32 <Proverb> "Alright, let's get moving then."
  97. Nov 17 13:57:04 * Logic shrugs. "You were right. I and possibly the others overthunk it." Hey, credit where it was due. He was smart enough to admit when he was dumb.
  98. Nov 17 14:00:28 * Rime sucks on the unlit and gnawed cigarette. Of course she's right, she's fucking brilliant.
  99. Nov 17 14:02:39 <Green_Field> "So Harmony, what would you like to look like?"
  100. Nov 17 14:03:37 * Harmony shrugs. "I do not care, but it would be wise to make me look rather unnoticeable or uninteresting, plain."
  101. Nov 17 14:04:39 * Mirror is now known as Moon_Rock
  102. Nov 17 14:06:22 <Green_Field> "Well, it'll last a while so may as well cast it now." He lights his horn and touches it to her, turning her into a light brown plain run of the mill mare. "Will that work for you?"
  103. Nov 17 14:08:02 * Proverb looks down at Green_Field and Harmony. "You'll need an alias... how about Lily?"
  104. Nov 17 14:08:48 * Rime looks at Harmony's flank, looking for what is there.
  105. Nov 17 14:11:49 <Green_Field> Her martini glass remains.
  106. Nov 17 14:12:18 <Proverb> "Or would Scotch work?"
  107. Nov 17 14:12:27 * Rime snorts. "She's still got a glass on her ass, Lily won't work. Something drinky... How about Ballet Russe?"
  108. Nov 17 14:12:32 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy writes 'Gin?'
  109. Nov 17 14:13:02 * Harmony shrugs. "Pinot will do. Something simple." She rolls her eyes. "And it's wine, which is neither scotch nor gin."
  110. Nov 17 14:13:32 <Green_Field> "Gin sounds good actually- Pinot will also work."
  111. Nov 17 14:14:04 <Green_Field> "So, are we all ready?"
  112. Nov 17 14:14:51 * Proverb nods to Green_Field. "Ready as I'll ever be."
  113. Nov 17 14:15:36 * Logic shrugs. "Remind me to throw something on over it when we get to the checkpoint. Odds are that they'll be looking for anyone with that cutie mark."
  114. Nov 17 14:16:39 * Rime grimaces, smoking tabacco was never made to be chewed, but she won't chew her chewing tabacco, at least not with Green_Field nearby.
  115. Nov 17 14:18:38 <TenMihara|GM> The group can see the Elysium resort approaching in the distance. A wall surrounds the grounds which, compared to the rest of the wasteland (Hoofington Especially) are almost lush. There's some trees and shrubs and even what looks like a garden visible to those in the air
  116. Nov 17 14:19:15 * Proverb lets out a whistle as she looks through the scope of her sniper. "Hot damn..."
  117. Nov 17 14:20:32 <TenMihara|GM> The Elysim resort has three stories in all, but seems to be spread out over a wide area, meaning there's plenty of space. There are decks and even a pool that doesn't look disgusting or polluted
  118. Nov 17 14:21:22 * Proverb scans the wall and grounds for guards, and most importantly, the gate.
  119. Nov 17 14:22:15 * Logic nods at Harmony. "Alright. I can hold up an illusion for seven minutes. Make it quick."
  120. Nov 17 14:23:25 <TenMihara|GM> The grandiose main gate is around the front of the building, although there is a smaller gate at the back as well. There are four guards positioned at each, as well as some big, nasty looking turrets at regular intervals along the wall
  121. Nov 17 14:23:47 * Harmony nods, trotting forward. "Perhaps you should speak, Missile_Rush? Just so that I am not recognized, and we take no chances."
  122. Nov 17 14:24:55 <Proverb> "Alright, turrets and guards, main gate's straight ahead." She says, landing and returning her SVD to a position of rest. "Let's do this."
  123. Nov 17 14:25:21 * Rime takes this opportunity to rear up on Razor's back and look over her head at the resort. Walls always have holes, there's no way they have the pony power to maintain that whole thing. Her eyes sweep it for little egresses others would overlook.
  124. Nov 17 14:25:27 * Green_Field stays silent, but isn't sure about giving him the reigns on getting them in. Harmony does have a valid point though.
  125. Nov 17 14:26:41 * Logic goes ahead and throws an illusion on top of Harmony's cutie mark. It's a wine bottle with a tall, thin profile.
  126. Nov 17 14:28:40 * Missile_Rush nods curtly at Harmony. "To the main gate, then?"
  127. Nov 17 14:29:01 * Proverb has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  128. Nov 17 14:29:20 * TicTacPhone (TicTac@Pony-3nt.avl.152.209.IP) has joined
  129. Nov 17 14:29:29 * TyrannisUmbra (Umbra@Pony-ji338i.east.verizon.net) has joined
  130. Nov 17 14:29:54 * TyrannisUmbra is now known as Razor
  131. Nov 17 14:30:26 * Harmony nods, following along.
  132. Nov 17 14:31:04 <TicTacPhone> Provy trots along after Harmony.
  133. Nov 17 14:31:21 * Missile_Rush trots towards the main gate. He reflects...yes, perhaps now was the good time to adopt a Braytish accent.
  134. Nov 17 14:31:50 * Rime 's fetlocks are hooked over Razor's ears as she keeps an eye out. Hopefully Missile_Rush doesn't say something wrong.
  135. Nov 17 14:32:18 * TicTacPhone is now known as Provy
  136. Nov 17 14:33:04 * Proverb (TicTac@Pony-ca0vpf.nat.iastate.edu) has joined
  137. Nov 17 14:33:08 * Proverb is now known as Pony_42276
  138. Nov 17 14:33:39 * Provy has quit (Quit: SQUIRREL!)
  139. Nov 17 14:34:33 * Pony_42276 is now known as Proverb
  140. Nov 17 14:34:36 <TenMihara|GM> As the party approaches the gate, the turrets track them and two of the guards step forward. "State your names and reason for coming to Elysium please."
  141. Nov 17 14:35:59 * Missile_Rush has quit (Connection closed)
  142. Nov 17 14:36:28 * Missile_Rush (RadioHooves@Pony-385ir0.border1-rt.dartmouth.edu) has joined

  145. Nov 17 14:38:17 * Harmony nods. "Pinot."
  146. Nov 17 14:38:25 * AlternateTac (TicTac@Pony-ca0vpf.nat.iastate.edu) has joined
  147. Nov 17 14:38:36 * Proverb has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  148. Nov 17 14:39:29 * Rime waves, tucking her cigarette and putting on a friendly smile. "Rime! And we're gonna visit a friend!"
  149. Nov 17 14:39:48 <AlternateTac> P"Auburn Proverb."
  150. Nov 17 14:39:56 * AlternateTac is now known as Proverb
  151. Nov 17 14:39:56 * Missile_Rush approaches the gaurds. "Lapel Pin."
  152. Nov 17 14:41:00 <TenMihara|GM> The guards scrutinize the group for a moment, then one raises an eyebrow, "A friend?"
  153. Nov 17 14:41:24 * Green_Field nods. "Green Field and Daisy." Pointing to himself then to her.
  154. Nov 17 14:41:35 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy gives a curtsey
  155. Nov 17 14:41:39 <Proverb> "Auburn Proverb."
  156. Nov 17 14:41:58 * Missile_Rush turns to the guard, adopting as pretentious a Braytish accent as he can. "Is it really your place to ask?"
  157. Nov 17 14:42:06 * Rime nods with boundless enthusasium.
  158. Nov 17 14:42:25 <TenMihara|GM> The guard immediately frowns at Missile_Rush, "Um, yeah. It is."
  159. Nov 17 14:43:24 * Green_Field groans quietly and rubs his forehead. Missile_Rush is already well on his way to fucking everything up.
  160. Nov 17 14:47:24 * Rime pouts. "Uncle Pin! Don't be a jerk! I wanna see Gold Standard!" She finds herself hoping she remembered that mare's name right.
  161. Nov 17 14:48:16 <TenMihara|GM> The guards looks skeptically between Rime and Missile_Rush. They didn't look anything alike.
  162. Nov 17 14:50:22 * Razor eyes the guards while she waits... This had better work, or she's not gonna be a happy pony.
  163. Nov 17 14:51:35 * Missile_Rush nods, turning to the guards. "You must forgive my manners. Trotting along these dusty paths with little to do does get wearing." With a small bow, he turns back to Rime. "But yes. My niece here is rather eager to see our friend. Surely you won't deny a little filly that?" He adopts a soft smile as he speaks, his voice deceptively calm.
  164. Nov 17 14:54:06 <TenMihara|GM> The guards frown, "I don't buy that you two are related. If you don't want to start taking up a lead diet, you'll give us the real answer."
  165. Nov 17 14:54:22 * Rime laughs. "Of course we aren't related!"
  166. Nov 17 14:54:43 * Rime smiles. "I'm the caravan kid! He's the Boss. So that makes him 'Uncle'."
  167. Nov 17 14:55:01 * Rime "Caravan is family. Duh!" She giggles.
  168. Nov 17 14:55:43 <TenMihara|GM> The guard raises an eyebrow. They eye Rime with scrutiny. "Your reason for coming here?"
  169. Nov 17 14:55:57 * Harmony rolls her eyes. "Neither of them have their full wits about them, but what they say is true-- we are here to visit a friend, Gold Standard."
  170. Nov 17 14:57:39 <TenMihara|GM> The guards murmur to each other, then nod. "We'll page Gold Standard. Wait here." He motions to one of the other guards, who trots inside the resort
  171. Nov 17 14:58:57 * Logic sighs and glares at Missile. Seriously? /He/ has to be the reasonable one? "We met them while they were doing merchant rounds. Ask about the giant hypno-bugs that shit napalm and it'll be remembered in a hurry."
  172. Nov 17 14:59:59 <TenMihara|GM> The guard just looks at Logic like he's got a screw loose.
  173. Nov 17 15:00:48 * Logic just gives a sweeping gesture. A non-vocal "Yes, that's what I just said. Now tell the nice pony."
  174. Nov 17 15:01:03 <TenMihara|GM> The third guard comes trotting back. "Miss Standard is coming. She wasn't expecting anypony though."
  175. Nov 17 15:01:23 <TenMihara|GM> The guards continue to look at the party with greater scrutiny
  176. Nov 17 15:01:58 * Proverb adjusts her eyepatch, leaning casually against her SVD.
  177. Nov 17 15:03:17 * Logic sighs, then leans on Harmony's flank. "Pinot, you look cold. Would you like a coat?"
  178. Nov 17 15:04:11 * TicTacPhone has quit (Connection closed)

  181. Nov 17 15:07:11 * Missile_Rush has quit (Quit: Page closed)
  182. Nov 17 15:07:25 <TenMihara|GM> After a few minutes, Gold Standard trots out of the front door. She is accompanied by three other ponies. One looks like an older version of the young mare herself, the other is a mare dressed as a maid, and the third looks like a bodyguard. She trots up to the main gate with her entourage curiously. She spies some members of the group and looks surprised. "Wow, it's you guys," she remarks.
  183. Nov 17 15:07:57 * Proverb smiles, nodding to Gold Standard. "Hi Gold!"
  184. Nov 17 15:08:23 * Logic takes off his lab coat and tries to cover Harmony (more importantly, her flanks) up with it.
  185. Nov 17 15:09:02 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard looks to the older mare, "Remember when those merchants dropped me off? These are the ponies that helped us out of that situation." She looks around the group, "Most of them anyways, where's the big purple lug?"
  186. Nov 17 15:09:50 <TenMihara|GM> The mare nods, then looks to the group, "So you are the ones who rescued my daughter." She bows her head to them, "You have my thanks. We were not expecting you though; for what reason have you come to visit us?"
  187. Nov 17 15:10:51 * Logic looks up and shrugs. "Don't ponies come to visit ponies when in relatively close proximity to each other?"
  188. Nov 17 15:11:27 * Harmony puts on a fake smile, looking to the mother. "We were in the area. We thought perhaps it would give us a chance to rest after being attacked by raiders."
  189. Nov 17 15:12:06 * Logic looks up and frowns. "Purple Kay is currently in a coma. It's a sore topic."
  190. Nov 17 15:12:30 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard blinks, "I heard there was trouble in the area. Didn't they send what was left of the Talons to take care of it?"
  191. Nov 17 15:12:55 <Green_Field> "They didn't make it."
  192. Nov 17 15:13:04 <TenMihara|GM> The guards let the two parties converse for now. The fact that they knew a Society member, and more, saved her life, was enough for them to lay off the pressure.
  193. Nov 17 15:13:08 * Harmony nods. "We saw them... yes, but the raiders had pre-war weaponry, and the griffons were no more."
  194. Nov 17 15:13:22 <TenMihara|GM> The mare raises an eyebrow, "How did you get past them then?"
  195. Nov 17 15:13:35 * Proverb taps her SVD. "Pretty sweet weaponry if you ask me." She grins.
  196. Nov 17 15:14:31 <TenMihara|GM> The mare blinks, "I see. Well, then perhaps my daughter and I aren't the only ones who owe you some gratitude." She looks to the guards, "We shall see them in after the relinquish their weaponry." She then steps aside with her daughter and escorts
  197. Nov 17 15:18:20 * Harmony sighs, hoofing over her energy rifle.
  198. Nov 17 15:19:23 <TenMihara|GM> The guards nod, "Alright, you've got someone vouching for you, so we just need you to turn over your weapons. This includes firearms, explosives, magical energy weapons, battle saddles, hoof-worn weapons and objects intended for slashing or bludgeoning.

  201. Nov 17 15:20:47 * Logic hoofs over his plasma rifle. No hiding that thing.
  202. Nov 17 15:20:53 * Green_Field hoofs over his plasma pistol, .44 magnum, two .45 auto pistols, one .45 SMG, one battle rifle, and four service rifles.
  203. Nov 17 15:21:07 * Proverb has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  204. Nov 17 15:21:11 * Rime rolls off of Razor's back, putting her between her and observation as she quickly tucks what she can away. She comes around with her Grenade Rifle and 8 mines, 5 incendiary and 3 fragmentation. "Sure thing."
  205. Nov 17 15:21:37 * AlternateTac is now known as Proverb
  206. Nov 17 15:22:02 * Proverb nods, unslinging her Markspony Carbine and Battle Rifle, setting them down in front of the guards, before lying her SVD down carefully as well. "Careful with that, I just got it."
  207. Nov 17 15:22:21 * Proverb keeps her 9mm hidden.
  208. Nov 17 15:27:33 <TenMihara|GM> The guard blinks at Green_Field's armament. "Some of these are pretty good. You get them off the raiders or something?"
  209. Nov 17 15:28:06 <TenMihara|GM> The other guard's jaw drops at Rime's explosive collection. "Well... I'll set these in a separate locker for you."
  210. Nov 17 15:28:13 * Green_Field eyes the guard. "Yes, and I expect them all back."
  211. Nov 17 15:28:49 * Rime smirks, a glint of mischief in her eyes. "See you do, and don't jostle them too much."
  212. Nov 17 15:29:26 <TenMihara|GM> The guard nods, "Don't worry, we have no need to steal things here. Although those service rifles match what most of our saddles use; any interest in selling?"
  213. Nov 17 15:30:13 * Razor gives up her zebra sword. "Don't let anything happen to it." There's a forcefulness to her voice. She then removes her Tramplers, leg-guards and all, and gives those up. "Or these. Got it?"
  214. Nov 17 15:30:33 <Green_Field> "Not here."
  215. Nov 17 15:30:53 <TenMihara|GM> The Guard takes them and nods, "Of course not ma'am."
  216. Nov 17 15:31:15 <TenMihara|GM> The guard however adds, "I'm afraid that your armour is prohibited by our Dress Code however."
  217. Nov 17 15:34:11 * Proverb blinks at the guard. "You... have a dress code?"
  218. Nov 17 15:34:24 * Razor glares. "Your dress code can stuff it. If you want me to take it off, then you're giving me yours instead."
  219. Nov 17 15:36:32 <TenMihara|GM> The guard frowns, "Then I'm afraid I can't let you in. Reaper ponyhide is prohibited. While we respect the power and martial skill of the Reaper faction, part of our agreements with them prohibits that specific make of armour from being worn here. Also prohibited are Steel Ranger Power Armour and any clothing denoting association with one of the various gangs."
  220. Nov 17 15:37:13 <Proverb> "So is my Dashite Brand not allowed in either?" She asks the guard.
  221. Nov 17 15:37:22 * Proverb also flashes her brand at them.
  222. Nov 17 15:37:26 <TenMihara|GM> The guard blinks, "Your what now?"
  223. Nov 17 15:38:00 <TenMihara|GM> The guard looks at the brand, "Well, scars, regardless of peculiar shapes, are something that can't be helped."
  224. Nov 17 15:38:47 * Proverb smiles at the guard. "So my missing eye isn't a problem either?"
  225. Nov 17 15:38:51 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard looks a little impatient, then glances to her bodyguard, "I don't suppose you have a spare suit you could loan our guest?"
  226. Nov 17 15:39:03 * Razor keeps glaring at the guard. "I'm not waiting outside. So if you want me to take off the armor, you're giving me a replacement."
  227. Nov 17 15:39:08 <TenMihara|GM> The guard nods, "So long as it remains tastefully covered, then you are fine miss."
  228. Nov 17 15:39:53 * Green_Field stands aside, genuenly enjoying the grief they're giving the guards.
  229. Nov 17 15:39:53 * Logic looks at his lab coat. He didn't say anything. If they were going to get on him about being in the Collegiate, they were going to have to do better than getting on him for something he wore beforehoof.
  230. Nov 17 15:40:02 <Proverb> "So the pony skull sewn onto the patch is tasteful, yes?"
  231. Nov 17 15:40:18 * Rime keeps her smile in place. Why Proverb felt the need to provoke the guards was anypony's guess.
  232. Nov 17 15:40:27 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard's bodyguard nods, "I have one I am not presently using, if you wish to lend it to your guests."
  233. Nov 17 15:40:55 * Logic frowns. "Proverb?"
  234. Nov 17 15:41:09 * Proverb giggles, sticking her tongue out at Logic.
  235. Nov 17 15:41:09 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard nods, "Well, I do owe them something for saving my life. Least we could do." She then looks to the maid, "Lily, can you please go fetch Trigger's spare armour?" The maid bows, "Certainly miss." She then trots off.
  236. Nov 17 15:42:42 <TenMihara|GM> The guard facehoofs, looking at Proverb. "I didn't even realize that's what the decal was. I think you'll be fine."
  237. Nov 17 15:42:43 * Rime 's smile faulters a moment. No wonder she got her previous squad vaped. You don't poke the hellhound when it's sleeping.
  238. Nov 17 15:42:45 * Logic shakes his head and sighs. "Not the time to be a smart-flank." It can wait until /after/ we do this fucking assassination mission!
  239. Nov 17 15:44:40 * Proverb giggles more, rolling her eye. "I'm just having a bit fun." She hops over to Harmony. "Let's get going!"
  240. Nov 17 15:45:38 <TenMihara|GM> After retrieving the weapons from the party, one guard takes them away to be secured. They then wait for Gold's maid to return with the extra armour. The maid returns after a few minutes with a set of pre-war police barding in good condition and offers it to Razor
  241. Nov 17 15:47:23 * Rime hops down from Razor's back so she can dress. She wouldn't miss a chance to lay on Razor /without/ armor. So much more comfortable.
  242. Nov 17 15:49:37 * Proverb has quit (Quit: Critical failure! Abandon ship!)

  246. Nov 17 15:51:36 * Pony_96304 is now known as Proverb
  247. Nov 17 15:52:38 * Rime thinks it's about time to endear herself to their hosts. She smiles and trots over to Gold Standard. "Hi. I'm Rime. You're awfully pretty." She raises her hoof for a polite hoofshake.
  248. Nov 17 15:53:26 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard chuckles and shakes the little hoof, "Hello Rime. Some of your friends saved my life." She glances at Daisy, "Hers too, if I recall correctly."
  249. Nov 17 15:53:29 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles and nods
  250. Nov 17 15:53:53 <Green_Field> "Yes. Still in good health?"
  251. Nov 17 15:54:59 <TenMihara|GM> Gold nods, "Yup. Those merchants dropped me off here after we parted ways, got a bit of funding to get themselves going again, and headed out. Don't suppose you've run into them at all?"
  252. Nov 17 15:57:05 * Rime eyes brighten. "Oh! Were they the merchants we ran into out west Doctor Green?"
  253. Nov 17 15:59:12 <Green_Field> "They were. We rescued them again, they're quite well though. At least when we parted."
  254. Nov 17 15:59:36 <TenMihara|GM> Gold tilts her head, "Rescued again? What happened?"
  255. Nov 17 16:01:15 <Green_Field> "Those taintlings caught them again. We got them out safe and sound though."
  256. Nov 17 16:02:00 * Logic steps on up. "Bright side, we caught a taintling during the rescue."
  257. Nov 17 16:02:45 <TenMihara|GM> Gold looks grossed out at the mention of the bugs things, "Gross. Why would you want one"?
  258. Nov 17 16:02:55 <Green_Field> "That we did. Hopefully we'll be able to stop them if we learn about them."
  259. Nov 17 16:05:26 * Rime trots over to the mother while they are speaking with Gold. She gives as polite a curtsey as she can. Her mother, the bitch, had tried to teach her manners before she offed herself. Maybe that's why she hates them so. "I see where she gets her prettiness. I'm Rime."
  260. Nov 17 16:05:38 <TenMihara|GM> Gold nods, still looking grossed out, "I guess. Anyways, we should head inside if we're gonna keep chatting. It's much nicer in there."
  261. Nov 17 16:05:56 <TenMihara|GM> Gold's mother nods to Rime. At least one of them had some manners. "Nice to meet you dear."
  262. Nov 17 16:06:29 * Rime "The pleasure is mine, Mrs...?"
  263. Nov 17 16:07:10 <TenMihara|GM> Gold's mother nods again, "Gold Filligree."
  264. Nov 17 16:08:23 * Logic does not have manners. Not really even bad ones, because that would go along with the assumption that he tried to replicate any. Oh, he knew of good manners from Priest, but it didn't really take unless he actually wanted to sound like him. "Thanks." He nods to Gold Standard. "Hey. Mind if we come over to your place?"
  265. Nov 17 16:08:30 * Green_Field nods, forcing a polite smile. "Alright, let's head in."

  273. Nov 17 16:10:59 * Razor puts her ponyhide away once she's done changing. "Your guards really wear this? I wouldn't trust this to protect against radroaches."
  274. Nov 17 16:11:06 * Rime nods. "Yes, Ma'am. Thank you." She's ready to follow!
  275. Nov 17 16:11:38 <Pony_13339> Proverb nods. "Yes, thank you for accomdating us."
  276. Nov 17 16:11:39 * Harmony nods, following behind the rest.
  277. Nov 17 16:11:39 * Pony_13339 is now known as Proverb
  278. Nov 17 16:11:55 * Proverb trots alongside Harmony as they headed in.
  279. Nov 17 16:12:18 <TenMihara|GM> The guard looks to Razor, "That is my spare barding. I only usually wear it if my primary suit is being mended."
  280. Nov 17 16:14:51 * Logic follows the herd!
  281. Nov 17 16:15:20 * Razor rolls her eyes. "Then you'd better hope you never have to use it!"
  282. Nov 17 16:15:21 <TenMihara|GM> The Gold family and their escorts lead the less equipped party into the ELysium resort. The interior is about as lavishly decorated as the wasteland will allow, and everything is remarkably clean. Coming and going are a variety of ponies, most of them wearing fine clothing or jewellery, or the simpler yet still stately attire of the endentured servants, much like Lily the maid.
  283. Nov 17 16:17:01 * Proverb fidgets nervouly, moving closer to Harmony. She felt quite out of place here.
  284. Nov 17 16:17:35 <TenMihara|GM> The party is led to a cafe-like area where the spell of coffee, tea and baked goods is prevalent. Lily courteously pulls out seats for everyone and bows to them as they take their seats.
  285. Nov 17 16:18:12 <TenMihara|GM> Gold FIlligree smiles at Lily as she takes her seat, "Thank you dear. Would you ask Java to put on some tea for us?" She then looks to the party, "Now, I suppose proper introductions are in order."
  286. Nov 17 16:18:26 * Harmony suppresses a frown, moving along.
  287. Nov 17 16:19:10 * Rime hops up on a chair, sitting her horehooves on the lip instead of the table. Manners, manners, manners.
  288. Nov 17 16:19:31 * Logic sits down and tries to get comfortable. "I've never had tea before."
  289. Nov 17 16:19:53 * Proverb carefully takes her seat. "Mmmm... tea." She smiles a little.
  290. Nov 17 16:20:27 <TenMihara|GM> Gold FIlligree nods, "Well, you can try it at least. If it is not to your liking, I am sure we will have something else. Now then, I haven't quite gotten all of your names down. Would you mind reintroducing yourselves?"
  291. Nov 17 16:20:58 * Green_Field sits down with Daisy, looking around. This place sucks. "I'm Green Field and this is Daisy."
  292. Nov 17 16:21:15 <Proverb> "Proverb, Auburn Proverb."
  293. Nov 17 16:23:54 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks a little impressed, actually. The place was really pretty, and the ponies were nice, if a bit siff
  294. Nov 17 16:24:14 * Rime brings her hoof to her chest lightly. "Rime." This... would be a fucking nice place to live!
  295. Nov 17 16:25:28 * Harmony nods, sitting down politely. "Pinot."
  296. Nov 17 16:26:10 * Logic looks up at Golden Filligree. "Logic Gates. Best hacker in Hoofington." He said, matter-of-factly.
  297. Nov 17 16:26:20 * Razor is definitely not a well-mannered pony. She takes a seat. "Razor."
  298. Nov 17 16:27:28 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Filligree, "Nice to meet you all. As I said, I am Gold Filligree. And of course you know my daughter, Gold Standard. Our guard is Trigger, and Lily is our servant." Lily comes back wit ha teapot and numerous cups floating beside her. She sets them down on a table and curtsies. "Lovely to meet the ones who rescued the young mistress."
  299. Nov 17 16:27:55 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks at Lily, suddenly not feeling so sure of her previous impression
  300. Nov 17 16:28:41 * Proverb flicks her ears, frowning slightly for a brief moment. She wasn't a fan of servantude and slavery by any stretch.
  301. Nov 17 16:30:30 * Green_Field puts a hoof on Daisy's, he's not a fan of slavery either. This place sucks.
  302. Nov 17 16:31:37 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy seems comforted by the gesture
  303. Nov 17 16:32:44 * Rime takes a small sip of the tea, giving a satisfied 'mmm'. "This is very good." She'd definately take this place as soon as leave it.
  304. Nov 17 16:33:22 * Proverb sips her tea, mmmming. "Haven't had tea this good since the Enclave..."
  305. Nov 17 16:33:26 <TenMihara|GM> Lily nods to Rime, smiling, "Java prides himself on his tea and coffee. Won't find better anywhere in Hoofington."
  306. Nov 17 16:33:51 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Filligree observes Proverb's wings curiously, "What is this Enclave you mentioned?"
  307. Nov 17 16:34:40 * Green_Field takes a polite sip of his tea. It's... ok.
  308. Nov 17 16:35:01 * Harmony sips her to not seem out of place.
  309. Nov 17 16:35:16 <TenMihara|GM> The tea is actually pretty good, at least to those who like tea
  310. Nov 17 16:35:18 * Proverb blinks. Oh shit... Did she just let that slip? She let that slip. She looks to Filligree. "Uhm... they're the reason the sky is always cloudy. It's a bunch of pegasi that live above the cloud layer."
  311. Nov 17 16:35:59 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree raises an eyebrow, "Is that so? There aren't many pegasi down on the surface, so some people think they simply aren't around anymore."
  312. Nov 17 16:37:09 * Proverb nods to Filligree. "Yeah... that's why I have this brand." She points to her Dashite Brand. "It means.... that I've been to the surface."
  313. Nov 17 16:37:37 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree sips her tea, "Are they concerned about contamination perhaps?"
  314. Nov 17 16:37:53 * Proverb nods slowly. "Yeah... we'll go with that."
  315. Nov 17 16:38:02 * TicTacPhone has quit (Connection closed)
  316. Nov 17 16:38:07 * TicTacPhone (TicTac@Pony-3nt.avl.152.209.IP) has joined
  317. Nov 17 16:38:58 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree nods, "Well, far be it from me to pry too much." She looks around the group, "What about the rest of you? You're certainly an ecclectic lot."
  318. Nov 17 16:41:37 * Proverb returns to sipping her tea quietly.
  319. Nov 17 16:41:40 * Logic took a sip of the tea, and was pleasantly surprised. It was earthy and calming, yet had the waxy taste of caffeine to greet him. It perked up his mood and loosened his tongue. "Well, what would you like to know?"
  320. Nov 17 16:42:15 * Rime "Well, I'm a mechanic. I can fix anything. I've been traveling with them since my house burned down." She take a longer drag on her cup of tea.
  321. Nov 17 16:42:44 * Green_Field stays silent letting the others speak. He's never been a fan of tea, but he does achkowledge the superiority of this particular brew, with the occasional sip.
  322. Nov 17 16:42:53 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree nods, "I see. Were you perhaps hoping to save up to purchase or construct a new home?"
  323. Nov 17 16:43:31 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard looks to Logic, "You said you were a hacker right? Did I ever ask you how you managed to deal with the bug at its brainwashed pony minions?"
  324. Nov 17 16:44:57 <TenMihara|GM> Lily seats herself and has a cup of tea herself, while remaining generally quiet
  325. Nov 17 16:46:06 * Rime gives a small nod. "Yeah. It's fun traveling, but dangerous too. I... like having a home. But I like having friends too... I am saving though."
  326. Nov 17 16:46:50 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree nods, "I suspect then, that you had the misfortune of losin your parents to the wasteland?" She bears a genuine look of pity at the idea
  327. Nov 17 16:46:54 <TenMihara|GM> *losing
  328. Nov 17 16:47:39 * Rime sighs. "Not lost, per se... they just walked away."
  329. Nov 17 16:48:28 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree frowns, "They abandoned you? How awful."
  330. Nov 17 16:49:29 * Green_Field wanting to talk to a real person. "So, how are you, Lily?"
  331. Nov 17 16:50:58 <TenMihara|GM> Lily smiles at Green_Field, "I'm quite well, thank you for asking." She looks to Daisy, "How about you miss?"
  332. Nov 17 16:51:02 * Rime 's face shows a trace of sadness, but she buries it quickly. "I'm tough. I made it on my own! But it's nice to have ponies around sometimes." She looks over the group with a smile.
  333. Nov 17 16:52:13 * Logic smiles lightly. "Well. We attacked them and got the jump on the bugs. Rime blew them up, then we tied up the bug, I went into it's head, and then we gagged it and dragged it back to the Collegiate for further study. I have a promising theory on how to return it from it's mutated state into a regular changeling, but no blueprints yet."
  334. Nov 17 16:53:07 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard blinks, "Um... oh, I see. I was actually asking about the time you rescued Daisy and me."
  335. Nov 17 16:53:10 <TenMihara|GM> *and I"
  336. Nov 17 16:53:35 <Green_Field> Fuck it. "One moment." His horn lights and he gives Daisy a tongue again and smiles at her. "There."
  337. Nov 17 16:54:10 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shudders a bit at the awkward sensation, then answers, "I'm dethent, thank you."
  338. Nov 17 16:54:28 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shoots a thankful glance at Green_Field
  339. Nov 17 16:54:44 <TenMihara|GM> Lily does notice the shudder and lisp, "Are you feeling alright dear?"
  340. Nov 17 16:55:29 * Green_Field keeps smiling with a hoof on hers, he's happy to let her talk with Lily.
  341. Nov 17 16:55:32 <TenMihara|GM> Filigree nods, "Indeed it is. I wouldn't have known what to do with myself had my daughter not come home." She gives Gold Standard a nuzzle, who then lets out an embarassed 'Mom!' while blushing a touch.
  342. Nov 17 16:56:20 * Rime muzzle settles into a sad little smile at that. A mother who cares, how novel.
  343. Nov 17 16:56:54 * Razor snickers a bit at that.
  344. Nov 17 16:59:13 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree looks back to the party, "That reminds me. I have you to thank for the rescue of my daughter from that awful creature, and for that I owe you a debt beyond simply kind words and a cup of tea."
  345. Nov 17 17:00:05 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods, "I'm fine. Jutht a bit of a thpeech imedement." She opens her mouth to show the oddly shaped tongue.
  346. Nov 17 17:00:57 <TenMihara|GM> Lily nods, "Ah, I see. Well, so long as you can live with it, I'm sure it's not a big deal." She sighs, "My daughter wasn't quite so lucky."
  347. Nov 17 17:01:50 <Green_Field> "Oh? What happend to her?"
  348. Nov 17 17:06:21 <TenMihara|GM> Lily sighs, "Well, I wasn't very well off out there, and unfortunately got hit with a case of radiation poisoning while I was pregnant. My daughter, Luna bless her, was born with a shrivelled leg and a bad eye."
  349. Nov 17 17:06:56 * Proverb winces slightly, touching her own eyepatch lightly.
  350. Nov 17 17:07:43 * Green_Field nods. "I've seen the effects of radiation poisoning first hoof."
  351. Nov 17 17:07:51 * Logic blinks. "Oh. That. Uh. I can't really say for sure. I was running overwatch, they were doing stuff in there. There was a bug in there guarding you. So they set a fire to clear it out. Then we realized this was a horrible idea, so I vented all the oxygen out. The bug escaped, disguised itself as one of the guards when we left because magic, and then we met and killed it when we had to save...
  352. Nov 17 17:07:53 * Logic ...the merchants again."
  353. Nov 17 17:09:39 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard blinks again, then simply says, "I see."
  354. Nov 17 17:10:34 <TenMihara|GM> Lily nods, "Yes, that's part of why I was so glad to be given a place here. Not only is my daughter getting the support she needs, but they're even giving her an education. Once my endunturement contract is completed, we'll even have a chance at living here."
  355. Nov 17 17:11:04 <Proverb> "How long is your contract?" She asks Lily.
  356. Nov 17 17:12:14 * Rime takes another sip of tea, it really is quite nice. She looks ove rto Filligree. "We generally like thanks." She gives a bubbly smile. "How does a pony end up in a place like /this/."
  357. Nov 17 17:13:03 * Harmony frowns. Lily might have a pleasant time, but that doesn't negate the many others, like herself, that faced abuse.
  358. Nov 17 17:14:02 <TenMihara|GM> Lily smiles, "Ten years, of which I've already done seven now. We started when my daughter was only a year old, so she's had plenty of other children to play with growing up, in spite of her crippling."
  359. Nov 17 17:14:35 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree looks to Lily, "I was glad to provide the opportunity to another mother in need. Nobless Oblige." She chuckles. Lily does too
  360. Nov 17 17:14:43 * Green_Field doesn't let his thoughts show and waits for Lily to answer. Her servitute is willful however it doesn't excuse the Society in taking away her rights. They clearly have the caps to pay their servents.
  361. Nov 17 17:15:24 * Proverb nods once to Lily. "Ah." She says simply.
  362. Nov 17 17:16:13 * Rime finishes her tea, looking over the brim at Filligree as her question lingers. It's a genuine curiosity, and she did say thanks, and that could mean stuff!"
  363. Nov 17 17:17:04 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree looks back to Rime, "Well, you can be born a member of the Society, or be inducted after a term of indentured servitude."
  364. Nov 17 17:17:32 * Rime "No 'buy-in', huh?"
  365. Nov 17 17:19:11 <Green_Field> "How many of your servents are inducted after their service?"
  366. Nov 17 17:19:24 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree shakes her head, "It's about more than having money, although if they have references, sometimes well-to-do outsiders can negotiate better contract terms, during which they would retain their assets."
  367. Nov 17 17:19:25 * Proverb has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  368. Nov 17 17:20:33 * Proverb (TicTac@Pony-ca0vpf.nat.iastate.edu) has joined
  369. Nov 17 17:20:37 * Proverb is now known as Pony_84884
  370. Nov 17 17:20:37 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree thinks about that a moment, "About half of the indentured servants attempt to gain citizenship upon completion of their contracts."
  371. Nov 17 17:21:06 <Green_Field> "Yes, but how many actually get in?"
  372. Nov 17 17:21:41 * Rime "So, like, do they take preexisting skillsets into account, or just what they need? It would suck to come in as a mechanic and get assigned to tail-lifting." Her eyes go a bit wide as she catches herself. "Errr... pardon my poor choice of words, please."
  373. Nov 17 17:22:02 * Pony_84884 is now known as Proverb
  374. Nov 17 17:23:01 * Proverb can't help but hold back a smirk at Rime's comment.
  375. Nov 17 17:23:37 * Green_Field surpresses his smirk.
  376. Nov 17 17:24:06 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree nods, "About two-thirds of those that apply are accepted, so about one in every three who complete their contracts overall. Some elect to stay on as paid servants, like Java, while others simply take their chances out in the wasteland."
  377. Nov 17 17:24:15 <TenMihara|GM> Standard snickers at Rime
  378. Nov 17 17:24:59 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree nods, "If a pony wishes to contribute existing skills, they are more than wlecome to. If they don't have a specialty, they are taught a few useful skills as part of their endenturement."
  379. Nov 17 17:25:09 * Green_Field is rather surprised that it's so high. "Why are the denied not accepted?"
  380. Nov 17 17:25:54 * Razor is getting very bored with this whole discussion! This is just about as bad as the Collegiate... Maybe even worse!
  381. Nov 17 17:26:56 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree smiles, "Usually, when an applicant is turned down, it's because of poor manners, poor service, committing minor crimes, or deliberate request of dismissal by their master or mistress."
  382. Nov 17 17:27:40 * Logic sips at his tea. "So, basically, this place is probably not for me." Clink.
  383. Nov 17 17:30:10 * Proverb has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  384. Nov 17 17:31:11 <Green_Field> This place is not for Green either. Fuck this place. Places like this make him want to drink heavily and swing his dick around in a drunken frenzy out of spite. He simply sips more tea quietly however. Being a dick won't help Harmony.
  385. Nov 17 17:31:12 * Rime taps her chin. "So... like... if I signed up, I'd be done by 22. Then, what? Just glide on by the rest of my life provided for?"
  386. Nov 17 17:31:40 * Harmony sighs, continuing to sip her tea in silence.
  387. Nov 17 17:32:28 <TicTacPhone> Proverb finishes her tea, sighing as well.
  388. Nov 17 17:33:37 * Proverb (TicTac@Pony-ca0vpf.nat.iastate.edu) has joined
  389. Nov 17 17:33:41 * Proverb is now known as Pony_84550
  390. Nov 17 17:35:06 * Pony_84550 is now known as Proverb
  391. Nov 17 17:35:31 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree nods, "In a sense. However, us older members of the Society are tasked with much of the educating process, as well as those of us who have economic and merchantile skill.
  392. Nov 17 17:35:32 <TenMihara|GM> "
  393. Nov 17 17:38:03 * Proverb clears her throat lightly. "While this is most intriguing, and I hat to interrupt, we actually have a bit of other buisness to take care of here."
  394. Nov 17 17:39:30 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Filligree nods, "Ah yes, did you wish to discuss a proper reward for the rescue of my daughter then?"
  395. Nov 17 17:39:41 * Rime is still very curious. "You didn't answer how tasks are assigned... Could a pony... I don't know... test the waters for a while without making any promises?"
  396. Nov 17 17:40:43 <TenMihara|GM> Standard answers Rime, "Anyone who wants to is given a full disclosure on what sort of tasks they would be asked or trained to do before signing the contract."
  397. Nov 17 17:40:56 * Harmony looks over to Rime with worry. She couldn't be thinking...
  398. Nov 17 17:40:59 * Logic finishes up his tea. Damn, this is good. "Well, you know where to find me if you need some hacking done." Straight to business, then. "Hey. Do you know where to find miss Silver Lining?"
  399. Nov 17 17:41:16 * Green_Field 's ears perk at the idea of payment. Something worth talking about! "A reward is always nice."
  400. Nov 17 17:41:51 * Proverb nods to Filligree. "Yes, and..." She looks over at Logic, blinking
  401. Nov 17 17:41:53 <Proverb> .*
  402. Nov 17 17:42:09 * Rime scoots closer to Standard. She whispers so as not to interupt the others discussion. "How would a pony go about getting that? Is there... like... an interview?"
  403. Nov 17 17:42:38 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree looks to Logic, "I think I've heard that name before. Is she an acquaintance?"
  404. Nov 17 17:43:05 * Logic sighs. "Something along those lines."
  405. Nov 17 17:43:49 <TenMihara|GM> Standard nods, "Well, it's easier if you have a referene within the society, which I suppose you do with us here, but there's an application process. First a simple survey it get an overview of what the pony can do and what sort of person they are, followed by an interview."
  406. Nov 17 17:44:16 <TenMihara|GM> *to
  407. Nov 17 17:44:43 * Rime "And... how do you set one of those up?"
  408. Nov 17 17:45:26 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard chuckles, "If you're interested, I can probably get you right to the interview. You seem to have good manners and of course, good companions."
  409. Nov 17 17:46:14 * Rime continues to whisper. "Oh, I doubt they are the kind to settle down, but I'll admit it seems so much nicer here."
  410. Nov 17 17:46:58 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard nods, "It's not for everypony, but those that are comfortable with it tend to do well for themselves."
  411. Nov 17 17:48:15 * Logic sort of wonders what the hell's going through Rime's head. She wouldn't let him in so he could read it, and he only does it to ponies who have proven to be against him in some ardent way.
  412. Nov 17 17:48:39 <TenMihara|GM> Standard notes, "Although typically those under fourteen aren't allowed to try anf sign up for themselves, but considering that you were abandoned..." Gold Standard contemplates that
  413. Nov 17 17:48:55 <TenMihara|GM> *and
  414. Nov 17 17:49:21 * Razor is definitely not one of those ponies who would be comfortable staying here.
  415. Nov 17 17:49:26 * Proverb looks to Filligree again. "So... about the reward, how much are we talking?"
  416. Nov 17 17:50:10 * Green_Field listens. Reward talk is good talk.
  417. Nov 17 17:50:20 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree looks to Proverb, "I suppose that depends. If you simply want monetary compensation, that can be arranged. I was hoping to be able to grant a more personal favour though, considering that my daughter is priceless."
  418. Nov 17 17:50:41 <TenMihara|GM> Standard blushes again, "Mom! Cut it out, you're embarassing me."
  419. Nov 17 17:51:03 * Proverb nods lightly to Filligree, giggling lightly. "What sort of favour?"
  420. Nov 17 17:51:06 <TenMihara|GM> Lily offers to freshen the cup of anyone who wants more tea
  421. Nov 17 17:52:02 * Green_Field looks at Harmony. This is her chance to clear her name. That's worth passing on some caps.
  422. Nov 17 17:52:05 * Rime continues to whisper after Standard recovers from her embarrassment. "After the interview, would a pony go to work? What if they just wanted to /try/ the work for a while before making a final decision?"
  423. Nov 17 17:52:11 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree observes Proverb a moment before answering, "It would have to be within my ability to grant, but I wouldn't be able to judge that without first knowing what it is you wanted."
  424. Nov 17 17:53:05 <TenMihara|GM> Standard looks back to Rime and away form her embarassing mother. "Well, if someone was willing to hire you without a contract, I suppose. Although that doesn't happen very often."
  425. Nov 17 17:53:16 * Proverb looks over at Harmony as well with a questioning gaze. Green_Field was right.
  426. Nov 17 17:53:53 * Rime smiles. "Well, I am a tremendous mechanic. I'm very skilled, really."
  427. Nov 17 17:55:28 * TicTacPhone has quit (Connection closed)
  428. Nov 17 17:55:31 * TicTacPhone (TicTac@Pony-3nt.avl.152.209.IP) has joined
  429. Nov 17 17:56:47 <TenMihara|GM> Standard shrugs, "Well, we can worry about that in a little while. More tea?" She nods to Lily, who smiles and offers to refill the cup
  430. Nov 17 17:57:14 * Harmony clears her throat. "Filligree, before asking about the reward, would you happen to be aware of details on Society bounties?"
  431. Nov 17 17:57:41 * Rime "Thank you." She smiles as she enjoys another sip of the delicious blend. "Suffice it so say, I'm interested."
  432. Nov 17 17:57:50 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree shakes her head, "Not normally, although there was that one incident a few months back that was the talk of the place for some time."
  433. Nov 17 17:58:47 * Harmony raises an eyebrow. "And what was that incident? If you can sate my curiosity."
  434. Nov 17 18:00:07 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree tilts her head, "Well, a member of the Harem killed two noblecolts, stole from a guard and abandoned her contract all at once. Nopony had ever heard of the like."
  435. Nov 17 18:01:12 * Harmony nods. "I see. I believe I have seen her bounty. And did you know of her? What is your opinion on the matter?"
  436. Nov 17 18:03:09 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree shrugs, "A shame really. I mean, I can't understand why she would do such a thing after signing on to join the Harem in the first place. Not to mention that terms in the Harem are far shorter."
  437. Nov 17 18:06:10 <Harmony> ACTION suppresses a growl in retort, and instead clears her throat once more. "I understand if this is beyond the scope of the reward you would give, but that mare-- Harmony-- saved my life. I had seen her bounty and followed her, and it placed me in a very... dangerous predicament when I was noted by a roaming gang of raiders. Without her, I wouldn't be here, so... I wish to repay the favor. So, would it be within your scope to remove
  438. Nov 17 18:07:02 <Harmony> --remove her bounty?"
  439. Nov 17 18:07:59 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Filligree blinks. "Hmm... that's not really the sort of thing that would be up to me, especially considering I am not the one who placed the bounty. Perhaps I could get you an audience with the one who set it up."
  440. Nov 17 18:08:21 * Proverb smiles at Harmony, turning her gaze to Filligree, nodding.
  441. Nov 17 18:09:05 * Harmony nods. "That would be most appreciated."
  442. Nov 17 18:10:43 <TenMihara|GM> Gold Filligree nods, "I shall ask around and see what I can find out. If a bounty is to be withdrawn, both King Awesome, who controls the payment of bounties, and the one who placed it, must agree."
  443. Nov 17 18:11:05 * Proverb blinks. "King Awesome?"
  444. Nov 17 18:11:10 * Green_Field takes another sip of tea. Well played Harmony. It always enjoyable to watch a skilled negotiator work.
  445. Nov 17 18:11:25 <Proverb> "That is... an interesting name."
  446. Nov 17 18:11:39 * Green_Field then blinks. "Indeed."
  447. Nov 17 18:12:31 * Rime leans back over to Standard, still a barely audible whisper. "DIfferent contract lengths for different services? What's the differences?"
  448. Nov 17 18:15:38 <TenMihara|GM> Standard nods, "Well, I'm probably not supposed to know this, since I'm only fifteen, but any mare or stallion age seventeen or older can apply to be a member of King Awesome's Harem. Now, they call it that, but really, any noble who wants a good time can petition for their companionship."
  449. Nov 17 18:16:28 * Pantzar has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  450. Nov 17 18:16:29 <TenMihara|GM> Standard notes, "Because of the work done in the Harem, the endenturement terms are much shorter than normal."
  451. Nov 17 18:18:41 * Proverb looks to Filligree. "Would you know who placed the bounty?" She asks, wanting to confirm the name.
  452. Nov 17 18:18:53 <TenMihara|GM> Standard blinks, "Erm... wait, you're only twelve, why are you even asking about such a thing?"
  453. Nov 17 18:19:16 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree shakes her head, "I do not, but a little bit of asking around would let me know, after which I could arrange a meeting."
  454. Nov 17 18:19:49 * Harmony smiles. "Very well. Thank you, once again."
  455. Nov 17 18:20:05 * Proverb nods, glancing over to Harmony. "Alright, thank you Filligree."
  456. Nov 17 18:20:24 * Rime shrugs. "Out there's different... age requirements..." She chuckles softly. "What about other work? Is mopping floors the same term as maintaining the generators or building exceptional quality merchandise for sale?"
  457. Nov 17 18:22:51 <TenMihara|GM> Standard blinks, "Well... given the sound of it I wouldn't think so, but I'm not really in charge of that stuff. I just know the process because it's part of the general education here."
  458. Nov 17 18:24:03 * Rime nods. "I guess I'll ask in the interview."
  459. Nov 17 18:27:46 <TenMihara|GM> Standard blinks, "Oh." She looks surprised at Rime. "I thought you were just really curious. You actually want to take the interview then?"
  460. Nov 17 18:28:33 * Proverb looks over at Harmony, smiling.
  461. Nov 17 18:29:00 * Razor eyes Rime, a little confused. "Are you sure that's a good idea?"
  462. Nov 17 18:29:32 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree looks back to her daughter and Rime, "Standard, what have I told you about things that adults are supposed to take care of?" She then looks to Rime, "That said, if you would like to take the interview, I can tell you who to speak with. Just be aware that they usually require a minimum age of fourteen for consent."
  463. Nov 17 18:30:36 * Rime supposes her whisper must have gotten a bit louder. She smiles regardless. "I understand, but I think I'd like to talk to them anyway."
  464. Nov 17 18:32:08 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree nods, "As you wish. For now, while I am working on arrangements, would you like to explore Elysium's facilities. I'm sure Gold Standard wouldn't mind showing you around."
  465. Nov 17 18:32:13 <TenMihara|GM> Gold nods, "That's be cool."
  466. Nov 17 18:33:26 * Green_Field doesn't really feel like a tour, but still keeps quiet. This is all for Harmony.
  467. Nov 17 18:33:29 * Rime smiles wide. "That would be wonderful, Mrs Filligree. Thank you."
  468. Nov 17 18:33:39 * Proverb shrugs, nodding once.
  469. Nov 17 18:34:46 * Harmony nods, standing up. She looks to Rime. "So, you are thinking of staying here?" Her eyes betray her and show what her voice does not. Hurt.
  470. Nov 17 18:36:23 * Rime gives her a warm smile, eyes bright. "Maybe. It could be fun, you know? Running around free and fixing things. Fixing things is /one/ of my favorite things to do!" Her smile turns a bit predatory for a split second, most likely lost on anypony who didn't know her.
  471. Nov 17 18:39:25 * Green_Field still remains silent, Harmony wants to be her mother, she can deal with it.
  472. Nov 17 18:39:54 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nuzzles Green_Field
  473. Nov 17 18:40:02 * Harmony sighs. "Running around 'free' it will not quite be." She looks to Gold. "May we have a moment alone?"
  474. Nov 17 18:40:55 <TenMihara|GM> Lily clears away the teapot and cups, taking them back over to Java at the counter. "Will you be needed anything else misses?" Fillgree shakes her head, "Not personally, but perhaps you could tidy up Standard's room a bit for her." Lily smiles and nods, "Certainly miss."
  475. Nov 17 18:41:19 * Proverb stretches, murring and stretching out her wings, giving them a few flaps.
  476. Nov 17 18:41:25 * Green_Field smiles and looks at Daisy. Speaking quietly and genuenly curious, "What about you? What do you think of this place?"
  477. Nov 17 18:41:40 <TenMihara|GM> Gold nods and turns to the rest of the group, "So, would you like to get dinner maybe? Or check out the pool first? Or maybe I could show you something else, what do you think?"
  478. Nov 17 18:41:58 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy answers, "Not terrible, but not for me."
  479. Nov 17 18:42:40 * Green_Field puts a hoof around her and kisses her forehead. "I'm glad to hear that."
  480. Nov 17 18:42:52 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods and hugs him
  481. Nov 17 18:43:18 * Rime looks between Filligree, Standard, and Harmony. It would be impolite to leave the table without a proper dismissal from their host.
  482. Nov 17 18:43:38 <TenMihara|GM> Gold blinks at Daisy, "Oh that's right, you were an escaped slave. Can't really blame you; slavers are a nasty lot. Wait... since when can you talk?" Her previous preoccupation seemed to have caused Daisy's muteness to slip her mind
  483. Nov 17 18:44:07 * Harmony nods. "We will join you for the tour in a moment..." She hops off of her seat and turns, motioning for Rime to follow as she moves off to a quieter place to talk.
  484. Nov 17 18:44:08 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree nods, "Please, enjoy yourselves, as my guests." She rises and trots off to take care of things
  485. Nov 17 18:44:35 * Rime hops down and prances after Harmony, all smiles.
  486. Nov 17 18:45:07 * Harmony stops a safe distance away, then sits with a sigh. "...Are you really considering this, Rime?"
  487. Nov 17 18:45:20 * Proverb has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  488. Nov 17 18:45:24 * Razor frowns and watches Rime trot off.
  489. Nov 17 18:45:38 <TicTacPhone> Proverb looks to Gold. "The anywhere big enough for me to stretch my wings? "
  490. Nov 17 18:45:42 * Rime gives the area a thorough scan.
  491. Nov 17 18:46:03 * Green_Field hugs back and nods to Gold. "Slavers are a nasty lot." He looks back at Daisy. "What would you like to do? Stay for supper or take the tour? We might also be able to find a quiet place to let the others do what they need to, if you don't want to look around."
  492. Nov 17 18:46:31 <TenMihara|GM> Rime and Harmony will not be overheard in their corner, as Gold is having another conversation and Java is busy wit hdishes. Lily has gone off to tidy
  493. Nov 17 18:49:24 * Pony_25223 (TicTac@Pony-ca0vpf.nat.iastate.edu) has joined
  494. Nov 17 18:49:48 * Rime lets her smile come down in a frown. She whispers. "Fuck no. Not now. I have you guys. But if I can jump through a hoop or two, impress, then maybe they let me get my hooves wet before signing a contract. Move around easy, fix some things, stuff a certain mare's matress with C4."
  495. Nov 17 18:50:52 * Pony_25223 is now known as Proverb
  496. Nov 17 18:50:53 * Harmony blinks. "Whose mattress are you thinking? The one that set up my bounty?"
  497. Nov 17 18:52:43 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy is about to answer when her stomach growls, answering for her.
  498. Nov 17 18:52:56 * Rime "Duh. Silver Cunt or whatever. Blow the bitch up and get you in the free. I've got your back." She smiles and gives Harmony's foreleg a light punch.
  499. Nov 17 18:54:35 * Green_Field chuckles. "Alright, food it is."
  500. Nov 17 18:55:14 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy blushes a bit, then looks to Gold. She seemed fairly nice, and really it was only her upbringing her that detracted from her being genuinely likeable. "It'th thankth to Green that I can thpeak again. Hith magic rethtored my tongue. Mothtly." She giggles and gives him a kiss
  501. Nov 17 18:55:32 * Proverb has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  502. Nov 17 18:55:35 * Harmony doesn't reciprocate. "I do not think that will solve this... and if it is Silver Lining that placed my bounty, please... do not harm her."
  503. Nov 17 18:55:48 <TenMihara|GM> Gold nods, "That's impressive. Could you do the same for Lily's daughter maybe? She's such a sweet little filly."
  504. Nov 17 18:56:10 * Proverb (TicTac@Pony-ca0vpf.nat.iastate.edu) has joined
  505. Nov 17 18:56:13 * Proverb is now known as Pony_63323
  506. Nov 17 18:56:21 * Pony_63323 has quit (Connection closed)
  507. Nov 17 18:56:49 * Green_Field still loves the new Daisy. He looks at Gold. "Unfortunatly, it's not permanent."
  508. Nov 17 18:57:04 <TenMihara|GM> Gold looks a little disappointed, "Oh. That's too bad.
  509. Nov 17 18:57:05 <TenMihara|GM> "
  510. Nov 17 18:57:11 * TicTacPhone has quit (Connection closed)
  511. Nov 17 18:57:18 * TicTacPhone (TicTac@Pony-3nt.avl.152.209.IP) has joined

  513. Nov 17 18:57:35 <TenMihara|GM> Gold admits, "Lily's daughter is like a little sister to me. She's so sweet."
  514. Nov 17 18:57:38 * Rime tilts her head. "Isn't that the whole reason we're here? Like, I know you might still give a shit about her and all, but she's trying to kill you. It's probably not even really her, just somepony putting her initials on shit. You'll know for sure who set it up soon, then I'll make sure they go out with a bang."
  515. Nov 17 18:58:06 * TicTacPhone has quit (Quit: SQUIRREL!)
  516. Nov 17 18:58:52 * Provy is now known as Proverb
  517. Nov 17 18:59:41 * Green_Field sure as hell is not staying to do it everyday himself. "Well, if there are any unicorn doctors here, I can attempt to teach them the spell. Some compensation would be nice for it as well."
  518. Nov 17 19:00:07 * Harmony sighs. "I... do not believe that she wants me dead, if it is her. Let me speak with her, and we shall see." She shakes her head. "My mother was all that I cared about, before, and she held the same feelings... I cannot fathom her doing such a thing with ill-intent."
  519. Nov 17 19:00:28 <TenMihara|GM> Gold looks a little more hopeful, "Really? We do have a doctor here, so I could ask him."
  520. Nov 17 19:01:07 * Proverb looks over at Gold. "Is there a firing range perhaps?"
  521. Nov 17 19:02:02 <TenMihara|GM> Proverb raises an eyebrow, "You don't have any guns. Only the guards are allowed to carry them inside."
  522. Nov 17 19:02:11 * Green_Field blinks and looks at Proverb. "What for? They took your guns."
  523. Nov 17 19:02:37 * Rime sighs. "We'll know when we know. I won't do anything unless you say so... or it's to protect you."
  524. Nov 17 19:02:51 <Proverb> "Well, I thought perhaps I could teach the guards a few things."
  525. Nov 17 19:03:32 <TenMihara|GM> Gold shakes her head, "Doubt it. We got some of the best hired guards around."
  526. Nov 17 19:03:38 * Green_Field rolls his eyes. Whatever. "So, what food options are there?"
  527. Nov 17 19:05:11 * Proverb giggles lightly. "Indeed... I suppose I could go for some food."
  528. Nov 17 19:06:25 * Harmony frowns. "If it is her, my mother... please, do not kill her. There will be another way, even if it is as you suspect." She leans down, nuzzling Rime's cheek. "Thank you for your concern... and your care." She sits up, putting her faux smile back on. "So then, a tour?"
  529. Nov 17 19:07:10 * Rime nuzzles back. "We look out for each other, it's what we do. Let's go."
  530. Nov 17 19:08:17 <TenMihara|GM> Gold smiles, "There's a couple. The cafe is more of a breakfast place, but the dining Hall has a good menu. In addition to fancying up pre-war foods, they make some stuff fresh from the garden we have here."
  531. Nov 17 19:08:18 * Razor rolls her eyes, and mutters, "If your guards have such horrible spare armor, then I think we /could/ teach them a few things..."
  532. Nov 17 19:08:20 * Logic looks a tad... Agitated when he gets up for the tour.
  533. Nov 17 19:08:24 * Harmony nods, trotting back over to Gold.
  534. Nov 17 19:11:30 <TenMihara|GM> Gold smiles, "Alright then, the Dining Hall it is."
  535. Nov 17 19:12:41 <TenMihara|GM> Gold leads the party through the lavish interior of the Elysium Resort, until they reach a set of large double doors. She opens them to reveal an enormous room set with a number of round tables and lit by several gold and crystal chanedliers.
  536. Nov 17 19:13:17 * Proverb blinks. "And... how much is the food?"
  537. Nov 17 19:13:54 * Rime gives a low whistle, the decor enough to make her momentarily forget her manners. "Swanky..."
  538. Nov 17 19:13:57 <TenMihara|GM> Gold raises an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
  539. Nov 17 19:14:25 <Proverb> "How expensive is it...?"
  540. Nov 17 19:15:17 * Green_Field trots in and waits to be seated. Knowing these uptight assholes, they have rules on where to even sit.
  541. Nov 17 19:15:34 * Harmony answers, "For the Society members and their guests, the food is free."
  542. Nov 17 19:16:16 * Rime smiles wider. She skips up to Standard. "Where do we sit?"
  543. Nov 17 19:16:19 <TenMihara|GM> A servant dresses as a Maitre Dis comes up to them. He even has a twirly mustache. "Good Evening Miss Gold. Are these ponies your guests?"
  544. Nov 17 19:17:47 <Proverb> "Ahh, thanks H-Pinot."
  545. Nov 17 19:18:41 <TenMihara|GM> The servant picks up eight menues and takes the party over to two tables of four close enough together that conversations could carry between them.
  546. Nov 17 19:19:46 * Green_Field pulls out Daisy's chair before sitting next to her.
  547. Nov 17 19:20:03 * Proverb sits next to Harmony, smiling happily.
  548. Nov 17 19:20:38 * Rime takes a seat beside their young host.
  549. Nov 17 19:21:23 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy takes her seat and smiles. "Thank you."
  550. Nov 17 19:24:03 * Green_Field smiles and puts his hoof on hers again, sitting to her left. "You're worth it."
  551. Nov 17 19:24:57 * Logic sort of twiddles his hooves. It was this exact sort of thing where he knew he was weakest. He didn't want to screw anything up, so he didn't even pick up his napkin or start talking. Just smile and nod if talked to. Smile and nod.
  552. Nov 17 19:25:29 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy giggles
  553. Nov 17 19:25:50 <TenMihara|GM> The garcon passes out the menus and nods, "I'll be back shortly to take your orders."
  554. Nov 17 19:26:29 * Proverb flips open the menu, looking through it.
  555. Nov 17 19:26:32 * Rime looks at the weird list placed in front of her, as she reads it is apparent they are different kinds of foods. Interesting. She reads.
  556. Nov 17 19:26:32 * Harmony looks over the menu!
  557. Nov 17 19:27:16 * Green_Field is extremely interested in what they have to offer and floats a menu in front of himself and Daisy.
  558. Nov 17 19:27:28 * Rime leans over away from Standard and over toward Razor. "Quite the list. What do you think you'll get?"
  559. Nov 17 19:30:29 * Razor has no idea what a lot of these foods are! She's never seen so many confusing foods.
  560. Nov 17 19:32:29 * Rime taps her chin. "I think I'm going to ask for a fresh salad and a... 'blush' to drink. It sounds fun."
  561. Nov 17 19:34:14 * Proverb chews her lip, hmmming. So many choices!
  562. Nov 17 19:34:26 * Logic just sits there nervously.
  563. Nov 17 19:35:01 <TenMihara|GM> the menu is mainly fresh vegetable dishes, including soups and salads, as well as creative applications of pre-war food.
  564. Nov 17 19:36:48 * Proverb decides on a Mushroom Barely soup and a cola.
  565. Nov 17 19:37:54 <Proverb> Barley*
  566. Nov 17 19:38:10 * Green_Field doesn't much know or give a damn about all of the variations and figures, he'll just get them both a basic, or the most basic that they offer, salad unless she wants something in particular.
  567. Nov 17 19:39:17 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy seems intent on trying something fresh
  568. Nov 17 19:39:24 * Razor decides on... a salad. It's simple and doesn't have a strange name for it.
  569. Nov 17 19:48:31 * Rime waits for the garcon to order her salad and blush.
  570. Nov 17 19:49:37 <TenMihara|GM> The garcon takes their food and drink orders. The food is prepared and comes out around 15~20 minutes later
  571. Nov 17 19:50:01 * Logic , whenever the garcon actually gets to him, just kind of smiles and nods. Nailed it.
  572. Nov 17 19:51:08 * Proverb mmms, plunging hungrily into her soup. Fuck manners!
  573. Nov 17 19:51:15 * Green_Field starts eating.
  574. Nov 17 19:51:23 * Rime takes a bite of salad and a sip of her 'blush' drink. It's got a bit of a bite of alcohol... neat!
  575. Nov 17 19:51:38 <TenMihara|GM> The garcon doesn't seem as concerned about manners so long as someone he recognized was there.
  576. Nov 17 19:53:14 * Harmony sips on a glass of water, not feeling too peckish.
  577. Nov 17 19:53:47 * Logic had nothing in front of him.
  578. Nov 17 19:54:07 * Razor couldn't even be well-mannered if she tried. She quickly eats her salad.
  579. Nov 17 19:57:32 * Rime eats about half the large salad before she notices Logic didn't order anything. "Hey, why didn't you get anything? Here." She slides the other half of her salad over. "Want the wine too?" She asks, tilting the glass toward him.
  580. Nov 17 19:58:28 * Logic just sort of creaks his neck over to Rime. His smile was strained. Aww.
  581. Nov 17 19:58:43 * Logic "I have no idea how to polite."
  582. Nov 17 19:59:08 * Green_Field doesn't eat particularly fast or slow and looks over to Daisy to make sure she's enjoying herself, happy that she gets to actually taste the food she gets now.
  583. Nov 17 19:59:46 * Rime "Well, say 'fuck it' and eat anyway. For me." She bats her eyes with a smile.
  584. Nov 17 20:02:54 * Logic 's shoulders droop and then he began to eat his part of the salad one levitated leaf (and other veggies) at a time.
  585. Nov 17 20:03:11 * Rime smiles her encouragement.
  586. Nov 17 20:04:06 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy is quite enjoying the fact that her food is fresh and radiation freed.
  587. Nov 17 20:05:52 * Logic is... Not quite used to food that isn't preserved in at least thirty different chemicals with a beverage that tastes like it is preserved in... Some weird way. Wasn't the worst thing he drank, though.
  588. Nov 17 20:09:30 * Rime is happy to watch Logic take good care of himself and enjoy something that wasn't probably marinated in the same stuff they preserve corpses in.
  589. Nov 17 20:09:39 * Green_Field continues eating and occasionally sipping his of the two red wines that he got them.
  590. Nov 17 20:10:59 <TenMihara|GM> Daisy sips hers as wlel, giggling a bit.
  591. Nov 17 20:11:03 <TenMihara|GM> well
  592. Nov 17 20:11:25 <TenMihara|GM> Once everyone has finished their main course, the Garcon returns and offers the option of dessert.
  593. Nov 17 20:11:53 * Rime smiles hugely. Dessert be the most bitchin' of meals!
  594. Nov 17 20:12:48 * Green_Field gets them some vanilla cake.
  595. Nov 17 20:13:06 * Proverb shares some dessert with Harmony!
  596. Nov 17 20:13:17 <TenMihara|GM> The desert is mainly preserved pre-war cake or pie, but a couple of fruit options are available as well
  597. Nov 17 20:14:05 * Harmony has no dessert, still sipping on water.
  598. Nov 17 20:15:06 * Rime orders very small pieces of all the cakes, stacking them together in a tower of varied tastes! She shares with Logic.
  599. Nov 17 20:16:30 * Logic tilts his head in wonder. He smirked and floated those small pieces of cakes in a little dance of sugary goodness. He put one right next to Rime's face.
  600. Nov 17 20:17:10 * Rime takes a bite out of the nearest bit. She giggles.
  601. Nov 17 20:18:41 * Razor is definitely not used to so much food being offered. She decides on a piece of cake, for herself.
  602. Nov 17 20:18:54 <TenMihara|GM> Once the meal is finished, Gold Standard sighs contentedly. "That hits the spot. Although now you gotta wait at least an hour before you can go swimming."
  603. Nov 17 20:19:23 * Rime tilts her head, she has to ask. "...why?"
  604. Nov 17 20:19:41 <TenMihara|GM> Gold smiles, "So you don't get a cramp."
  605. Nov 17 20:20:37 * Logic smiles genuinely for a moment. "Where I'm from, you don't exactly want to go swimming anywhere." He bluntly said, taking a bite of a dancing bit of pink speckled cake.
  606. Nov 17 20:22:51 <TenMihara|GM> Gold stands up, "Still, you wanna see some more?"
  607. Nov 17 20:23:17 * Rime devours what cake is still in her reach before standing up with a nod. "Please!"
  608. Nov 17 20:23:31 * Green_Field doesn't, but is still set on not upsetting the boat.
  609. Nov 17 20:24:59 <TenMihara|GM> Gold leads the party out of the Cafeteria, but they run into Filligree almost right outside. "Ah, I was hoping you'd be here."
  610. Nov 17 20:29:58 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree approaches 'Pinot'. "King Awesome has agreed to the audience, but there wasn't time for it today. In the meantime, I have been asked to offer you guest rooms."
  611. Nov 17 20:30:44 * Rime raises her hoof. "Mrs Filligree, do I have an appointement yet?"
  612. Nov 17 20:31:53 * Harmony blinks, raises an eyebrow. "Am I talking to King Awesome himself?"
  613. Nov 17 20:32:03 <TenMihara|GM> Filligree looks back to Rime, "Oh. No, but Gold can take you there if she was going to continue showing you around."
  614. Nov 17 20:34:31 * Rime sidles up next to Gold, looking up with a smile.
  615. Nov 17 20:34:54 <TenMihara|GM> Standard nods, "Alright, I'm make sure we swing by it on the way. I can also show you the rooms, in case anypony wants to turn in early."
  616. Nov 17 20:35:04 <TenMihara|GM> -End Session-
