FoE PNP Group Unlucky 13 Session 56

[15:02] <TenMihara|GM> *****PnP Group 13, Hoofington Sucks: Session 56*****
[15:04] <TenMihara|GM> Bonds
[15:05] <TenMihara|GM> The ties formed between people
[15:05] <TenMihara|GM> Sometimes they're weak, like a passing acquaintance or coworker
[15:05] <TenMihara|GM> Sometimes they're strong, like family, friends, and lowers
[15:05] <TenMihara|GM> *lovers
[15:06] <TenMihara|GM> Obviously, the stronger the bond, the more precious and rare it is
[15:06] <TenMihara|GM> The weaker the bond, the less impact it has when broken
[15:06] <TenMihara|GM> But when strong bonds are forged or broken, amazing things can happen
[15:07] <TenMihara|GM> Or terrible things, or even both at the same time
[15:07] <TenMihara|GM> How strong are the bonds our wastelanders have with each other?
[15:07] <TenMihara|GM> Are they enduring, or will they be severed?
[15:07] <TenMihara|GM> I guess we'll find out...
[15:08] <TenMihara|GM> *****Session Begins*****
[15:08] <TenMihara|GM> After Razor's near death experience with Gehenna, the party regrouped and stayed the night at Megamart.
[15:08] <TenMihara|GM> The following morning...
[15:12] * Rime|P lies curled up in a ball against Razor's stomach, one of the mare's forelegs hugged to her.
[15:13] * Razor is still dozing a bit. She's very tired after the events of the previous day.
[15:13] * Logic is in the security room, catching some snoozes.
[15:16] * Green_Field eventually fell asleep with Proverb and Daisy still holing onto him. He wakes up sandwiched in between and desides to lie there thinking again, not wanting to wake either of them.
[15:16] <Green_Field> holding*
[15:16] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy snuggles in close to Green_Field, he's warm
[15:19] * Harmony is still isolated in her own room, finally falling asleep after thinking and staying awake throughout most of the night.
[15:23] * Proverb murrrs softly, content.
[15:30] * Rime|P clings on to Razor's foreleg. Using it as a pillow.
[15:30] * Green_Field 's life sure has made in interesting turn. A few short weeks ago, he was pretty much alone going between clinics and groups. Now, he's between two mares that are happy to have him around. Maybe he has finally earned it a little. He kisses Daisy's forhead softly, smiling at her. Life can good sometimes.
[15:32] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy stirs a bit, smiling in her sleep
[15:32] <Green_Field> be*
[15:33] * Proverb yawns softly, stirring as well.
[15:35] * Razor is just very tired. She's healed, but it left her worn out. And last night there was the whole excitement with Rime...
[15:42] * Rime|P snuck out to fix Green's pistols, so she's enjoying a bit more sleep. She nuzzles Razors leg.
[15:55] * Logic dreams of electric sheep powered generators and LAN parties galore.
[16:03] * Green_Field 's mind drifts to Harmony. He hopes she's going to be ok. He makes note of needing to speak with her later to check in on how she's doing.
[16:04] * Rime|P blinks owlishly after a while longer. She looks at the leg shes been clinging to. She smiles. She wins. Razor loves her best.
[16:05] * Proverb has been thinking about Harmony all night... mostly in nightmares... She slowly blinks her eye open, rubbing it.
[16:14] * Rime|Phone gingerly rolls over, looking at Razor's chest. She gives it the tiniest little peck. Its silly and foalish, butits supposed to help.
[16:15] * Green_Field sees Proverb rub her eye. He speaks quietly to let Daisy sleep longer. "Feeling a little better after that sleep?"
[16:16] * Proverb sighs. "K-Kinda... I had nightmares about Harmony..." She replies to Green_Field.
[16:18] * Green_Field nods. "Hopefully she's feeling better too."
[16:22] * Proverb nods to Green_Field, slowly gettign out of the bed to get dressed.
[16:22] * Razor leans a little against her side, giving her legs a slight stretch as she readjusts. She isn't quite awake yet, but she's only sleeping lightly.
[16:24] * Green_Field tries to get out of bed slowly to not wake Daisy to start his morning inventory check.
[16:26] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy yawns and stretches
[16:32] * Proverb is tugging on her new Rienforced Combat Barding, pulling and yanking at the straps.
[16:32] <TenMihara|GM> Razor's big chest booboo itches a little as Rime kisses it
[16:32] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shivers a bit, now alone on the bed and a touch chilly
[16:33] * Green_Field 's horn lights and pulls the covers over Daisy and tucks her in gently before turning to his own things.
[16:34] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy stops shivering and curls up
[16:50] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy raises her head, yawning.
[16:51] * Green_Field finishes up checking his things and gets his armor and pack on. He should check on Harmony, but at the same time doesn't want to wake her.
[16:53] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy opens her mouth to speak to Green_Field, only for her to be sans-tongue again. She just makes a gargling sound instead
[16:54] * Proverb sits down on the floor, going through a check of all her weapons, before standing agian. Her SVD is across her back, the silenced M1911 in a holster on her leg.
[17:02] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb pouts a bit
[17:02] <TenMihara|GM> *Daisy
[17:02] * Proverb isn't pouting!
[17:02] * Green_Field sighs, but smiles at Daisy. "I can't help but find it cute when you do that." His horn lights and the sorta familiar sensation of her togue changing can be felt by her. But, this time her whoe body feels a little funny in the same way. He smiles once done. She now feels a little different, a little tougher even. "I had a thought last night that I can make you a little more able to take possible abuse with that spell t
[17:03] <Green_Field> with that spell too."
[17:04] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy places a hoof on her chest. Her heartbeat felt stronger and her breathing more fulfilling. It was very curious, but it felt great.
[17:06] * Razor yawns a little bit as she stirs. She grabs Rime with her foreleg. "Not busy this morning, Rime? You're usually doing /something/..."
[17:06] * Rime|P feels the fur if Razor's chest... Though it could be her armor... She gives a closer look.
[17:12] <TenMihara|GM> Razor's chest is rough and badly scarred, and her armour is damn near shredded
[17:13] * Green_Field pats Daisy's shoulder. "Like it, do you?"
[17:13] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles and hugs Green_Field. "Thankth. It feelth good."
[17:17] * Rime||P shakes her head. "Nope. Snuck out last night. Nothing to do but take care of you."
[17:21] * Razor smirks a bit. "Take care of me?"
[17:22] * Proverb steps out of the room, trotting down the hall and knocking on Harmony's door. "Harmy?"
[17:24] * Rime||P nods. "Somepony has to. Do you need to change dressings?"
[17:24] * Harmony blinks, hearing a knock on her door. After she quickly rolls out of bed and lets out a yawn, she answers, opening the door. "...Yes?"
[17:25] * Proverb looks up at Harmony. "Uhm, I was wondering if I could get you something for breakfast?"
[17:26] * Harmony smiles, but shakes her head. "No, but thank you. I have some food still from shopping."
[17:26] * Green_Field hugs Daisy back. "You're welcome. I should check on Harmony and Razor." He turns to see Proverb gone. "I hope she took my advice."
[17:28] * Proverb nods to Harmony. "A-Alright... are you ready to talk yet?"
[17:29] * Harmony purses her lips, thinking for a moment. She shakes her head. "Soon, just... let me finish breakfast. Where are you going? Perhaps we shall meet somewhere?"
[17:30] * Razor rolls her eyes. "I don't think I need to be 'taken care of'. If Green wants to mess around with his doctor stuff, then let him!
[17:30] * Proverb nods to Harmony. "I was just gonna head down to the bar to eat. Would that work?"
[17:31] * Harmony nods. "Yes, I believe that will." She turns, slowly closing the door. "I should not be too long."
[17:32] * Logic guhs awake. He hadn't cranked up the dubtrot yet today. He, for the first time, didn't much care to, and instead chose to sleep in.
[17:32] * Green_Field waits for Daisy to get her stuff on and then heads out for Harmony's room.
[17:32] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap is both surprised by and thankful for this
[17:33] * Proverb nods to Harmony, before sighing softly and continuing down the hallway, her composure collapsing as she slumped, ears and tail drooping. She slinks down to the bar, pulling herself into a booth to wait for Harmony. She really didn't feel like eating...
[17:34] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy gets dressed, slipping her baton into a loop on her armour, feeling strangely more confident as well. As though she was stronger in a number of ways
[17:35] * Green_Field knocks on Harmony's door when he arrives.
[17:35] * Missile_Rush is awake, sitting alone in his room. From outside his door, the sound of a wooden flute playing can be heard.
[17:36] <Harmony> By the time Green_Field knocks, Harmony has finished eating. She raises an eyebrow, trotting over to the door and opening it once again. "Green_Field? Do you need something?"
[17:37] <Green_Field> "I came to check on you. Feeling better?"
[17:38] * Harmony shrugs. "Moderately, at the very least."
[17:38] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy sticks close to Green_Field. She gives Harmony a friendly wave
[17:40] * Harmony waves back, giving Daisy a small smile.
[17:40] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles back, nodding. "Goof morning."
[17:40] <Green_Field> "That's good. Proverb has been a wreck since yesterday."
[17:41] * Missile_Rush continues to sit alone, eyes closed as he sits atop the sheets, lost in his music.
[17:42] * Harmony sighs. "I have noticed..."
[17:42] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy pouts a bit. Proverb and Harmony were both her friends, so she wanted them to both feel better.
[17:45] * Green_Field nods to Harmony. "I've been going around asking each of them if they anything that they need to get off of their chests after you asked me to. It's only fair that I do the same for you. Anything you want to talk about? It'll stay between us."
[17:46] * Rime|P rolls her eyes. "You need some care. I will pay for and pay /you/ 100 caps to go to the spa with me."
[17:48] * Missile_Rush continues to play with his wooden flute. All by himself, alone with his flute, his hooves moving deftly along its length as he produces the most wondrous melodies.
[17:49] * Harmony slumps a little. "I am just... not sure that I am ready for the kind of commitment Proverb wishes for us. Going back to the Society, I was reminded of much of my old self... and at times, I feel as if all Proverb wants, or desires of me is my body..." She sighs. "I do not know. I feel as if I am simply perpetuating my old self-- falling into the habits that were forced upon me."
[17:54] * Razor snorts at even the thought of going to the spa. "No. Way. I wouldn't be caught dead doing that!"
[17:55] * Rime|P "200"
[17:56] * Razor shakes her head. "Nope! Never!"
[17:56] * Green_Field thinks a moment. "Hmm. Well, if you're not ready than you're not ready. If she cares about you she'll respect that. I know how hard it can be to try and shrug off an old life. Sometimes though, you have to be a little selfish and do thing that are best for you."
[17:57] * Missile_Rush can do such wondrous things with a wooden flute. He lets his mind wander into distant emotions, solemnity resting in his heart, as he continues to play.
[17:58] * Harmony sighs. "But you've seen how she's been acting, feeling... I do not know if it is best..."
[17:58] * Rime|P "200, and i think i can make you buck buckshot "
[18:00] * Missile_Rush finally puts his flute down, utterly spent. He'd poured his heart and soul into his playing, and now that the piece is done his head reels dizzyingly, panting softly.
[18:02] <Green_Field> "I said don't get married, i didn't say don't be with her or that you should spend time apart. You effectivly lost your mother and other friends as well. If she at all cares about you and not just about getting you to wear as a trophy, than she'll understand. Otherwise, even I'll wonder if she's not just wanting you for you selfish reasons. But, give her the choice, I say. Let her decide if she's ok with letting you have what
[18:03] * Harmony nods hesitantly. "Alright." She shakes her head, changing the subject. "And what about you? You have been making sure all of us have our wits about us, but," she smiles, "how are you and Daisy?"
[18:04] * Razor eyes Rime, very confused for a few moments, then simply says, "No! Just, no. No spa. Ever. No matter what you say."
[18:05] * Rime smirks. "You don't think it would be cool to buck shotgun blasts through ponies?" She gives a vicious buck at the air... tossing herself backwards across the bed by accident.
[18:06] * Green_Field smiles at Daisy. "I like to think that we're doing great. I've found that acting a little less selfishly has made me come out of my funk. She's made me feel better than I've ever felt before." He proudly puts a hoof on her whithers."
[18:06] * Missile_Rush 's wings flutter at his sides. It was always such a wondrous experience, sitting alone to play to his heart's content. Melancholy seeps in his heart, though as he realizes - it just wasn't the same as sharing that joy with somepony else.
[18:07] * Harmony smiles. "Good. I am glad to hear it. And you, Daisy?" She chuckles. "How are you doing?"
[18:12] * Logic blughs and creaks onto his legs. He stumbles his way to the terminal hub and begins to do his morning diagnostics. Best make sure that things are going well before partitioning off his data onto the F: drive.
[18:15] * Missile_Rush rubs a hoof against his forehead as he decides he's had enough. He places his flute gently away and gets dressed once more, stepping outside his room.
[18:15] * Razor snickers at Rime's enthusasm. "That makes no sense. And like I said! No. Spa. Ever." She pauses a moment, then emphasizes, "Ever!"
[18:17] * Rime gives a deadpan stare. "200. A weapon design for your hind legs, and I'll walk right up to Sparky, apologize, and give him a kiss right on the nose."
[18:21] * Missile_Rush waggles his wings as he steps out.
[18:24] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy gives Harmoyn a coy smirk
[18:26] * Missile_Rush decides to trot over to the bar. He could use a drink. Non-alcoholic, of course, he reflects. Luna knows what happens when he touches alcohol.
[18:28] * Harmony nods. "Well, if that is all, I must get ready... I will be meeting Proverb at the bar soon." \
[18:29] * Razor smirks. "As tempting as that is... No! Never!"
[18:30] * Green_Field nods to Harmony. "Alright then. I hope it goes well. Let me know if you would like help with anything."
[18:31] * Harmony nods, stepping back into her room to dress herself. "Of course. And thank you, Green."
[18:33] * Green_Field leaves her too it and turns to Daisy. "Looks like we get soe free time. We should get some food and then decide how we want to spend it."
[18:33] * Rime snorts. "Fine. I'll just go find Sparky and kick him in the dick. It might take a few tries." She hops off the bed to get dressed.
[18:33] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods and falls in next to Green_Field, "Thould have worn my thaddle or dreth then."
[18:35] * Razor rolls her eyes. "You'll never get me anywhere /near/ one of those places."
[18:36] * Missile_Rush decides to forgo a drink for now. He trots instead to the job board at the front of the store.
[18:36] <Harmony> After a few more minutes to prepare herself, Harmony heads out, walking towards the bar.
[18:38] * Green_Field chuckles at Daisy. "You could throw on some dirty rags and I would still be honored to have you walk by my side for everypony to see." He sets out for the food court to get them both some breakfast.
[18:39] * Proverb is curled up in a booth in the corner, nursing a Sparkle~Cola and hugging her tail.
[18:39] * Rime huffs. "Well... fine... you can watch me get a rubdown and be jealous. Then we'll get some food and stuff. Then find the others." She nods to herself, a perfect morning plan is planned!
[18:39] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy raises an eyebrow, not entirely sure how to take that, then shrugs and follows him
[18:45] * Missile_Rush is still looking for that job board!
[18:45] <TenMihara|GM> Missile_Rush can see a variety of fliers advertising odd jobs and small quests, some bounties, and some people looking for specific bits of equipment or trade goods, including the Memory Merchant offering good caps for Black Opals.
[18:45] * Green_Field would clarify, but she didn't seem that upset enough for him to notice. He leads her out and finds some nice fruit from a stand for them to start their day with.
[18:46] * Harmony arrives at the bar after a short walk. After scanning the room, she moves to where Proverb is sitting, giving the other mare a small smile.
[18:46] * Missile_Rush searches the board for a particularly well-paying job. Any jobs, perhaps, that could utilize his gunning skills? Or his knack for computers?
[18:47] * Proverb looks up as Harmony approaches, smiling back at her weakly. "Hey Harmy..." She slowly sits up.
[18:47] <Harmony> "Good morning," Harmony replies, sipping on a bottle of water.
[18:48] * Proverb nods to Harmony. "So, what's up?"
[18:48] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy approves of fruit and noms it gratefully
[18:49] * Harmony shrugs. "I thought that you had things you'd like to talk about first?"
[18:51] * Proverb blinks at Harmony, and then nods slowly, sighing. "I... I do actually..." She looks back at her cola. "You know how I told you I tried to kill the High Council, and then escaped before they could execute mr?"
[18:51] <Proverb> me*
[18:51] * Rime Straps her last strap and buckles her last buckle. Probably something she didn't need to do since the spa is her first stop. Oh well... "Then it's settled. You're coming with me to the spa so I don't have to be alone then we'll eat."
[18:51] <TenMihara|GM> Missile_Rush can see a couple jobs pertaining to information retrieval, but the details seem to be hush hush, and simply have a referal to someone on them.
[18:51] * Harmony nods slowly. "Yes, I do."
[18:51] * Missile_Rush investigates the highest-paying of these jobs and looks at the fine details.
[18:52] * Green_Field sits eating with Daisy. "So, you are happy with me?"
[18:52] <TenMihara|GM> There are no details, simply 'See Rom, Stall 112'
[18:52] * Missile_Rush hms softly at that. Perhaps he should see about this to himself. He trots to find this Stall 112, and once he does he knocks gently on the door.
[18:53] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods. "Yeth. Happy to be free, and haff thomeone who careth looking out for me and helping me enjoy my freedom."
[18:54] * Proverb bites her lip, looking up at Harmony. "Well... The only reason I escaped was because of my Dad. He... took his squad and infiltrated the prison I was in... they fought hard, and by the time they got to me only my dad was still alive. We... fough our way back out... but..." She bites her lip.
[18:54] <TenMihara|GM> The stalls don't have doors. They're basically just tables or dividers with markings on the floor separating them, in addition to any walls set up by the merchants themselves as part of their shop. At stall 112, is a Green Unicorn buck with a silver mane. The lines on his face indicate that he's fairly old for a wastelander.
[18:55] <Proverb> "When we got outside... they were waiting for us. I... managed to get down below the clouds... but... he... I heard him scream as they fired." She shudders.
[18:55] * Harmony sighs, nodding. "I see..." She leans over, letting a hoof rest on Proverb's withers. "I do not know what to say, other than give you my sorry. I am sorry that such a thing happened..."
[18:55] * Logic attempts to partition off his beloved images and music into the storage drive. After his attempts, he realizes that he hasn't actually eaten anything in two days. He decided that this required rectification.
[18:56] * Proverb looks up at Harmony, smiling a little. "Just... you being here... helps. You make me feel happy, Harmy. All... warm and fuzzy inside. I know it's cheesy, but it's the truth."
[18:57] * Missile_Rush looks to the unicorn buck, and nods at him. "Hello. I saw your ad on the job board. I'm interested in taking the job."
[18:58] <TenMihara|GM> Rom is fiddling wit ha collection of terminal parts. He has one functioning terminal and a bunch of them in varying states of disassembly
[18:58] * Razor shakes her head. "Nope! If you want to go, then you're finding somepony else. I told you, not going even /near/!" She gives a glance around. "What I need to do, is look to get my armor fixed. I can't just... walk around in this thing anymore."
[18:58] * Harmony smiles slightly. "I do enjoy your company as well, Proverb..."
[18:58] <TenMihara|GM> Rom turns around and looks to Missile_Rush, "Sorry, could you say that again? Got a bad ear." He turns his head so Missile_Rush can clearly see the jagged scar along the left side of his face, as well as a big chunk missing form that ear
[18:59] <TenMihara|GM> He then turns his good ear to Missile
[18:59] * Missile_Rush doesn't bat an eye, as he speaks a bit louder. "I saw your ad on the job board. I'm interested in taking the job."
[19:00] <TenMihara|GM> Rom nods, "Ah, that." He sizes Missile up. "Yer kinda short. You doing it yourself, or ya got a crew?"
[19:00] * Rime looks over to Razor with big sad eyes. "But... I need somepony to come with me! And.... and... /I/ fix your things! Come to the spa thing with me, and I'll find what I need to fix your armor up."
[19:00] * Green_Field smiles at Daisy. "Good. I want you to be happy. And the same goes for you, if you have a problem or I do something wrong, feel free to let me know."
[19:01] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods. "Of courth." She gives him a quick nuzzle. "You've been very polite, even when dealing with your thadier thide."
[19:01] * Missile_Rush looks to Rom. He's thin and wiry, but he's not short. "Small Frame" does not equate to "short stature"! He faces Rom. "I wouldn't underestimate my capabilities, if I were you. Size matters little next to expertise. But no, I am not alone."
[19:02] * Proverb leans against Harmony a little. "There's another thing too, Harmy... "
[19:02] <TenMihara|GM> Rom nods. "Good. I never figured this'd be a job for a single mercenary, no matter how good."
[19:02] * Harmony raises an eyebrow. "...Yes?"
[19:04] * Missile_Rush frowns slightly. He never did consider himself a mercenary. "Would you care to elaborate on what sort of job this is?"
[19:05] * Proverb looks up at Harmony. "My... Mom died when I was 1 from a heart attack. She had a weak heart... " She bites her lip. "And... There's a chance that I have the same condition... "
[19:05] * Green_Field puts a hoof on Daisy's. "I'm relieved that you think that. I felt last time that I was pushing too hard, but I wanted to get all of that out there. Now we can slow down and do or not do things at a comfortable pace for you. I'm lucky to have such an understanding mare."
[19:05] * Razor gives Rime a serious look. "I need to take care of this /now/. If you want to come with me, then you have to come with me /now/!"
[19:06] * Harmony frowns. "I... see. How... has Green_Field examined you?"
[19:08] * Proverb nods to Harmony. "He says I'm fine right now... But he wants to run tests at the Society. " She looks up at Harmony. "I'm scared, Harmy..."
[19:08] * Rime pouts. "Why can't we do my part first? You aren't going to get jumped /inside/ megamart."
[19:08] * Missile_Rush await's Rom's reply.
[19:10] * Razor gets off the bed and starts to head off, once she makes sure she's all set. "Because it's /important/. Now or never!"
[19:10] <TenMihara|GM> Rom nods, "I need two things. A specific data file from the Ministry of Arcane Science, and a Stable-Tec issue Pipbuck Broadcaster peripheral."
[19:10] * Missile_Rush makes a note of those and nods. "What would you like them for?"
[19:11] <TenMihara|GM> Rom looks at Missile_Rush, "Any reason why that's your business? Especially considering what I'm willing to offer for the service."
[19:12] * Missile_Rush looks to Rom. "Which is?"
[19:12] * Harmony sighs, shaking her head. "Green is a wonderful doctor. I am sure if there is a problem," she nods, smile returning, "you will be fine."
[19:14] * Proverb nods to Harmony, but her fears are far from quelled. "So, what did you want to talk to me about? "
[19:15] * Rime gives a pitiable whine, but follows Razor out. "Fine... I'll come and pick out your repair stuff... That should at least count as a massage."
[19:15] * Harmony sighs. "Nothing at the moment... we both have much to deal with. It can wait."
[19:16] * Razor lets Rime do what she wants. But /she's/ going to look at armor.
[19:16] * Proverb shakes her head. "Please Harmony... I want to know..."
[19:17] * Harmony shakes her head. "No, it... can wait."
[19:18] * Missile_Rush waits for Rom!
[19:19] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods. "You thtopped when I thaid, tho you did right. Maybe we can try different thingth."
[19:19] <TenMihara|GM> Rom nods, "Five thousand caps if you bring me both."
[19:19] * Rime follows behind Razor, but it doesn't stop her from pestering her on the way.
[19:19] * Proverb looks up at Harmony. "I love you, Harmony, nothing can or will change that. I...I told you what was on my mind... Please tell me what's on yours? "
[19:21] * Harmony sighs, nodding reluctantly. "Proverb... you asked me to marry you. I'm sorry, but... the answer is no. I am not ready for that kind of commitment, and going back to the Society only only reminded me of my past, and has me doubting whether or not any of this is... legitimate, or simply a perpetuation of the habits forced upon me."
[19:22] * Logic decided that it would be a good idea to purchase some Instamash and Sparkle Cola and then put them together. After actually putting them together and eating them, he found out this was a terrible idea.
[19:24] * Proverb nods to Harmony. She's hurt, but she manages to smile at Harmony. "Harmy, do you still love me?"
[19:25] * Rime tries a different tac. "You know, you might like it. It doesn't have to be somewhere where it could damage your rep. I could give you a massage. It can't be that hard."
[19:25] * Green_Field to Daisy. "We've talked a lot about what I like. We should definatly, find out what you like too."
[19:25] * Missile_Rush nods to Rom, and nods gently. "You asked why it would be my business. Do you know what kind of a pony I am?"
[19:25] * Logic wiped his mouth. He decided it would be better with, like. Maybe beer. Or wine. And then you cook them in. Actually, would that make you drunk? He didn't want to be drunk. That was a bad time.
[19:26] <TenMihara|GM> Rom shakes his head, "Only thing that matters to me is whether you are or are not willing to do the job. Now, I know -where- the things I seek might be find, I just can't get to them."
[19:27] <TenMihara|GM> *found
[19:27] * Missile_Rush closes his eyes with a knowing smile and shrugs, shaking his head. "As you wish. Where are they, if I may ask?"
[19:27] * Harmony 's eyebrows furrow. She's silent for a moment before answering, "I... am not sure. The Society-- the memories I have-- I cannot... I do not know. I do not feel like my own person. The ways I've acted, how I've continued after escaping... It remind me of 'home'. Of how I acted before. I thought that I had escaped it, but I continued, though no longer forced." She looks down. "I am sorry. I-I do not know."
[19:29] <TenMihara|GM> Rom nods, "If it helps, I'm not doing anything sinister. It's just... personal. That's all I'll say. Now, the Ministry of Arcane Sciences had a hub in the core like every Ministry, but there was an outlet that, if I'm lucky, will have access to the network still."
[19:30] * Razor rolls her eyes. "What's with you and trying to get me to do that anyway?"
[19:30] * Missile_Rush nods to Rom. "And this outlet is located where?"
[19:31] * Rime looks up. "I had a massage once, it made me feel /great/. I just want you to feel great too. You're rough on your body, so you should help it when you can. You're body's important for kicking ass, you know."
[19:31] * Proverb can't keep her smile on her face, but she doesn't move away from Harmony. "Then... Then let me show you that I love you f -for who you are, not, not what you are. I... I will give you as long as you need to love me back again, but you are your own mare, Harmy, not a puppet of the Society. "
[19:32] <TenMihara|GM> Rom lifts a leg. It's badly scarred, but has a Pipbuck on it. The Pipbuck is in mediocre shape, but functional. A map of Hoofington is displayed, zoomed in on a location within what anyone familiar with Hoofington would recognize as the boundaries of Steel Ranger territory.
[19:34] * Missile_Rush nods to Rom, noting the location. "Since I must ask, exactly why is this job so difficult?"
[19:34] * Harmony sighs. "It is not as clear to me..."
[19:35] * Green_Field finishes eating and grins at Daisy. "We still need to decide what to do with our freetime. What do you say we head back to the room and find out what your preferences are?"
[19:35] <TenMihara|GM> Rom looks up, lowering his leg. "Aside from Steel Rangers patroling the area, I have it on good authority that this outlet has its own security. Not sure if its robotic or automated, but either way."
[19:35] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy blushes a bit, then giggles. "A little ethperimenting? I thuppothe that would be fun."
[19:37] * Proverb nuzzles Harmony gently. "Take as long as you need, but know this. I still love you. I will always love you, and I will always remain faithful. There is no proof but in my words, but I hope that you can believe them. "
[19:38] * Missile_Rush nods, speaking confidently to Rom, not a trace of doubt in his words. "My comrades and I will get them to you." He then speaks to Rom, lowering his voice and keeping it gentle. "I may be a stranger, but I am not devoid of a heart. You said it was personal, and so I'll leave it at that. But if you do want to share it, do consider me a willing listener who wishes to help a fellow wastelander."
[19:39] * Harmony sighs and nods, slowly moving out of her seat. "We should find the others. I am sure they have other matters on their agendas, and it would be best to not have them searching for us."
[19:40] <TenMihara|GM> Rom frowns, "I'm just hiring you to do a job."
[19:41] * Missile_Rush nods solemnly. "If that is what you wish." He looks to Rom. "Will I find you here?"
[19:41] * Proverb nods to Harmony, getting up as well, and offering a hug to her with a wing. "Of course. "
[19:42] * Harmony sighs and heads out, not reciprocating the hug. With her head down and ears flat, she begins to search for the others.
[19:42] * Green_Field stands up to lead Daisy back, still grinning. "Let's go have some fun then."
[19:43] * Razor doesn't answer Rime. She's already answered that like ten times. Instead, she focuses on looking for at least something she can use to fix up her armor... "Anything you can see?"
[19:45] * Rime starts to, but stops herself from, hopping up on Razor. She's hurt. She walks close to her. She scans the area for materials or anything particularly badass.
[19:45] * Proverb sighs, folding her wing back before trotting after Harmony. It hurt, it hurt a lot. Her heart felt like it was going to split in half, but she remained strong for her mare, her love, in hopes that her love would be returned one day.
[19:46] <TenMihara|GM> Rom nods. "Yes. As for the Broadcaster, try searching any building belonging to Stable-Tec. They were a late-war piece of tech, so they're rare, but might be easier to find at places specifically belonging to the company."
[19:46] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy twines her tail with his and follows
[19:47] * Missile_Rush makes a note of that. "Will do. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
[19:48] <TenMihara|GM> Rom shakes his head, "If you're not back within a week, I'll assume you got yourself killed and look for someone else."
[19:49] * Missile_Rush nods. A week...it could be done. He nods to Rom. "Very well."
[19:51] <TenMihara|GM> Rom chuckles, "You're the first to agree. Most folks bail when I say it's in Ranger Territory.
[19:51] <TenMihara|GM> "
[19:52] * Missile_Rush smirks at Rom. "I am not like most folks. I'm something a little more than that."
[19:53] <TenMihara|GM> Rom rolls his eyes, "I'll believe that if you pull it off."
[19:53] * Missile_Rush takes a small bow. "Then I'm off to take my leave. Good day."
[19:53] * Proverb looks up at Green_Field and Daisy as they likely pass her and Harmony. Proverb has her ears and tail drooped, eyes downcast.
[20:01] * Green_Field spots Proverb as they pass. Balls, so much for fun experiments. He switches to concerned doctor mode regardless. "Hello Proverb, how did things go?"
[20:02] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy seemed a bit too distracted by the prospect of time alone with Green, and stops only a couple moments after he does
[20:02] * Rime reaches her leg over, latching her fetlock on Razor's and giving a light tug. "Over here. I think I can work with some of the stuff that pony's selling." She heads to a nearby stall.
[20:03] * Razor looks over and heads to pick up the stuff Rime needs.
[20:03] * Proverb looks up at Green_Field, sniffing. "Harmony... Doesn't know if she loves me anymore... "
[20:03] * Harmony stands off to the side, not wanting to intrude on the conversation...
[20:03] <Harmony> Far off to the side.
[20:05] <Green_Field> "Proverb, she's had one night to think about it. Give her some time."
[20:05] * Missile_Rush trots onwards to find the others! Where, oh where could they be?
[20:06] * Logic finished his meal and heads back into the security room, attempts to remove the drive, and then starts looking for his friends.
[20:06] * Proverb nods to Green_Field. "I know... But that doesn't mean my heart doesn't feel like it was ripped in two... "
[20:08] * Rime heads straight to the merchant.
[20:09] * Missile_Rush decides to head back to his room, but on his way there he sees and hears the conversation running between Proverb, Harmony, Green_Field, and Daisy. He stands back, in silence, deciding not to say anything. He debates internally as to whether to make himself scarce or not.
[20:11] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks to Proverb, "Maybe you thould do thomething elthe. Take your mind off thingth. Maybe go to the thpa?"
[20:12] * Green_Field pauses. He doesn't know what else he can add to this situation and it doesn't help that he's thinking with a certain itch on his mind. "Look Proverb, I don't have the perfect solution. The two of you are going to have to figure something out and it might be hard. I can only say that from my perspective, the two of you can make it work. She didn't say that she loves you, but she didn't say that she didn't. There's stil
[20:12] <TenMihara|GM> (there's stil)
[20:12] <Green_Field> There's still hope. If you lose hope than you may as well look her in the eye and say that you're done trying. I wish I could do more for the two of you."*
[20:16] * Proverb nods to Green_Field. "Alright... I know, but it still hurts " She looks over at Daisy, smiling. "Yeah... You want to come with me Daisy? "
[20:16] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods. The spa was awesome!
[20:17] * Missile_Rush stands quietly, witness to this conversation. He says nothing.
[20:19] * Proverb smiles at Daisy flapping her wings a little. "Thanks Daisy. "
[20:19] * Green_Field looks at Daisy a moment and then sighs, starting off for the room anyway. "Alright, have fun you two."
[20:20] * Missile_Rush 's gaze falls upon the group. Green_Field, Daisy, Proverb, and Harmony all fall within his range of sight. He reflects to himself. What an odd group.
[20:21] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks at Green_Field apologetically. "Tonight then, unleth we end up thomewhere without privathy." She giggles a little
[20:21] * Harmony continues past the group, looking for Rime and... Razor, or Logic, seeing as the rest had plans.
[20:22] * Missile_Rush just stands quietly.
[20:23] <TenMihara|GM> Harmony nearly trips over Missile along the way
[20:23] * Green_Field doesn't bother answering her. He thinks of what the odds are that Proverb askes to sleep with them again since she'll still be upset about Harmony.
[20:23] * Missile_Rush just nods apologetically at Harmony. "Pardon." He steps out of the way to let Harmony by.
[20:23] * Proverb flicks her ears at that. "O-Oh... you two were going to... oh... uhm... y-you can go with him Daisy... I didn't mean..."
[20:24] * Harmony blinks. "My apologies Missile_Rush. I was not quite paying attention."
[20:24] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks between Proverb and Green_Field. Admittedly, she wanted to have some time alone with Green, but Proverb was her friend and sort of needed cheering up at the moment.
[20:25] * Rime arrives at the stand, wasting no time going through the goods on display.
[20:26] * Green_Field continues walking, passing Harmony and Missile_Rush.
[20:27] * Missile_Rush shakes his head at Harmony. "The fault is mine. My head lies in the clouds far too often for its own good." He looks off to the side, frowning as always, eyes crimson and piercing. "I have found us a new job. We should gather the others so I can tell them as well." As Green_Field approaches, he beckons him closer to listen as well.
[20:27] * Harmony nods, slightly relieved to hear of a job to distract herself from her current worries. "And the details of this job...?"
[20:27] * Green_Field slows when Missile_Rush beckons him. He walks over, genuenly curious. "Yes?"
[20:28] * Proverb starts to head towards the spa, until she hears Missile_Rush. She stops, looking towards him, and then back at Daisy. "C-Can I get a rain-check on that spa date? It seems we have a job to do.."
[20:28] * Proverb trots over to Missile_Rush.
[20:28] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods, then trots up to listen as well.
[20:32] * Missile_Rush answers Harmony carefully, nodding at Green_Field and indicating that he should listen. "Our task is to locate two items. The first is a data file by the name of..." He checks a scrap of paper on which he has scrawled a hoofwritten note. "MAS-CYBDR-101013. It is located in an old Ministry of Arcane Sciences hub in Hoofington. Our employer showed me the location, and indicates that it is within Steel Ranger territory." H
[20:33] <Missile_Rush> He continues. "Our next task is to locate a single Pipbuck broadcaster peripheral, located at any Stable-Tec facility in Hoofington. For retrieving those items and bringing them within a week, the payoff is five thousand caps."
[20:33] * Logic wanders around further.
[20:34] <Green_Field> "'Our employer'?"
[20:34] <TenMihara|GM> Logic bumps into Rime and Razor as they shop for patch materials.
[20:35] * Missile_Rush faces Green_Field. "A stall owner here at Megamart by the name of Rom. I tried to find out what he wants the items for, but he wouldn't tell me." He frowns. "The payoff is good, but I have my concerns as to what he would want these items for."
[20:35] * Logic gets slapped with a quick, heavy case of the awkward.
[20:36] <TicTacPhone> Proverb blinks. "Steel Ranger territory? "
[20:36] <Green_Field> "You have your concerns, but you're going to do the job anyway?"
[20:37] * Rime smiles at Logic as she tosses what she needs on the counter. "Hey."
[20:37] <Missile_Rush> "Personally, I would like to know what interest a pony would have in those items. We wouldn't be able to know unless we investigated for ourselves."
[20:38] * Razor buys the materials, not looking at Logic.
[20:38] <Green_Field> "So, your plan is to go after these items and ask around on the way?"
[20:39] <Missile_Rush> "Not how I would have put it, but yes."
[20:39] <Green_Field> "Why?"
[20:40] * Logic looks up at Razor. Then Rime. Then Razor. Then Rime again. "Hey."
[20:43] <Missile_Rush> "Because he was particularly keen on keeping it a secret. Think about the implications. If he's willing to pay so much for the secrecy, chances are this is something of cardinal importance. And I'd like to know what it is, and prevent it from falling in the wrong hooves if I can. From a purely material standpoint, it could also lead to better gains in the long run. Even if we end without taking this job, we are bound to learn or
[20:44] <TenMihara|GM> (to learn or)
[20:45] <Missile_Rush> find something else we can use."
[20:45] * Rime hops down and gives Logic an affectionate nuzzle. She looks back to make sure Razor picks up the stuff she'll need and starts to trot off across megamart. There's a workbench out in the open she used last night, maybe she still can.
[20:45] * Razor takes the things with her as she follows Rime.
[20:46] <Green_Field> "Not that I disapprove, but why the sudden change of heart from you?"
[20:47] <Missile_Rush> "What change of heart?"
[20:50] <Green_Field> "Two days ago you hated the idea of helping Harmony because she would benefit from it. Now you're wanting to stop somepony on the -chance- that it might help poinies that you've never even met."
[20:50] * Rime remember the workbench being on the far side of Megamart. It's quite possible she'd run into the others heading to it. She trots beside Logic, her side brushing his. "Your night as interesting as mine?"
[20:50] * Missile_Rush frowns at Green_Field. "Excuse me? I never said such a thing."
[20:51] * Logic follows alongside Rime. "Nope." He replied, giving her a sly grin.
[20:52] <Green_Field> "You're excused I suppose. You don't seem bright enough to remember yourself saying that you want to help her to help yourself, but didn't want to help her to help her."
[20:54] * Rime tilts her head, her crown resting against his neck. "Oh? Then what's the grin for? Whatja do with a night by yourself?"
[20:56] * Logic floated up the hard drive from his saddlebag. "Hung out in the security room. Took something that was mine." He slid it back into his things.
[20:57] * Missile_Rush frowns as he recalls. to Green_Field, he speaks. "This is still for myself. Again, so I don't have to put up with the guilt of letting something within my grasp slip through my hooves."
[20:58] * Proverb frowns at Missile_Rush. "Selfish..." She mutters.
[20:59] * Rime grins. "Oooo... is that what all the smut in the Wasteland looks like?"
[20:59] * Missile_Rush looks to Proverb, not battin an eye as he simply nods. "Precisely."
[20:59] <Missile_Rush> *batting
[20:59] * Green_Field chuckles. "Look Missile_Rush, if you want me to believe that you're selfish so I strong or whatever, you should at least try to make it believable."
[21:00] <Green_Field> I think you're strong*
[21:01] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy tilts her head. "That'th a lot of capth."
[21:03] * Missile_Rush looks to Green_Field, frowning. "Explain."
[21:07] * Logic smirks. "All but one." He replied.
[21:08] * Green_Field looks a little surprised that Missile_Rush doesn't understand. "You honestly want me to believe that you're planning on going into Steel Ranger territory and risk your own ass on a quest that could easily kill you to find out why somepony wants this stuff to possibly save ponies, but it's not because you want to save them. What are you planning on doing if it's for a bad purpose? If you stop the guy, you won't get th
[21:10] <Green_Field> If you stop theguy, you won't get the caps. You're planning on risking your own ass with the very real possibility of no reward. And, I'm supposed to think that's selfish?"*
[21:11] * Missile_Rush says nothing, as his eyes bore into Green_Field's. Briefly, a flash of vulnerability seems to seep into his expression before it ices over once more. "I don't have to explain myself to you."
[21:12] * Green_Field chuckles again. "I'm not even convinced that you could."
[21:13] * Rime stumbles upon the rest of the group on her way, heading over to them. It's good to see Harmony outside and with them again.
[21:14] * Missile_Rush looks to Green_Field. "Are you going to take me up on this or not?"
[21:15] <Green_Field> "My job is to keep all of you from dying. If you guys go on this trip, of course I'll tag along."
[21:16] * Rime tilts her head, unsure what she missed... but if Green is giving it to Sparky verbally... she's ok with that.
[21:16] * Missile_Rush then turns to Harmony and Proverb. "And you?"
[21:17] * Harmony nods. "I suppose I will join you, yes."
[21:19] * Proverb sighs and nods to Missile_Rush. "I will come."
[21:26] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods. "We could use the money, so long as it'th not thomething bad. Pluth, we could thcavenge."
[21:26] * Rime quirks a brow. "The fuck you guys talking about?"
[21:26] * Razor eyes the others as they pass. They're talking about going somewhere?
[21:27] <Green_Field> "The 'selfish' pony has a plan."
[21:28] * Rime breaks into laughter. It comes to a quick end with a snort. She giggles. "haha... wait... Seriously?"
[21:29] * Missile_Rush looks to Rime and nods silently.
[21:30] <Green_Field> "So, are you going to let them in on it? They are with us."
[21:30] * Rime gives a deadpan look, her voice emotionless monotone. "I'm brimming with confidence."
[21:32] * Razor eyes Missile_Rush. "...Well?"
[21:35] * Missile_Rush begins to relate the mission again. He repeats what he said before, because his player is too lazy to write them out again.
[21:37] * Logic frowns. Oh this doesn't bode well. "What are in the files?"
[21:37] <TenMihara|GM> (File, singular)
[21:38] * Missile_Rush looks to Logic. "I don't know. We won't know until we get there." He sighs. "I trust my expertise with computers, so I can investigate that myself, unless one of you thinks you may be able to better than I."
[21:38] * Logic looks insulted. "I am the best hacker in Hoofington."
[21:38] * Rime can't help but fall to the floor with laughter.
[21:39] * Missile_Rush looks to Logic and nods. "Then I will leave that in your very capable hooves." He clearly isn't joking, taking this seriously. Perhaps too seriously.
[21:41] * Green_Field tries to suppress some giggles of his own into his hoof. Watching Rime laugh has made it worse. "And, remember that this is all for selfish reasons."
[21:41] * Rime limbs flail in the air. She half points at Missile_Rush. She's unable to form words as he looks so freaking serious.
[21:43] * Proverb can't help but giggle s little.
[21:43] <Proverb> a*
[21:43] * Missile_Rush represses the urge to roll his eyes. Barely. "Are we all clear on this?"
[21:44] * Logic frowns. "I need to build a big ass machine."
[21:44] * Razor eyes Missile_Rush. "Sure. Maybe later. But we're already going somewhere, remember?"
[21:44] * Rime snorts... her laughter running to giggles.
[21:48] * Green_Field composes himself, though he has his lips pursed like he's still holding some in. "Yeah, I think we've all agreed. Let's do it."
[21:48] * Missile_Rush nods to Razor. "But remember that we have a week to finish this job."
[21:49] * Razor shrugs. "It's also a dumb idea. But who knows? Could be something... interesting that turns up between now and then."
[21:52] * Missile_Rush nods to Razor. "My point exactly." He looks to the others. "What shall we do in the meantime?"
[21:53] * Rime rolls half on her side. "I need to fix Razor's armor. Only other thing I had on my list was to kick you in the dick, but I'm on the fence about that."
[21:55] * Green_Field snorts into his hoof again. Another giggle fit threatening to happen.
[21:55] * Missile_Rush frowns at Rime. "For my sake, and for the sake of my future progeny, please don't."
[21:55] * Missile_Rush 's face is as serious as ever.
[21:55] * Proverb snorts.
[21:56] * Razor snickers.
[21:57] * Rime looks up with her own serious face. "As long as you never point it at anypony I know, I'll let you keep it."
[21:58] * Missile_Rush peers at Rime, perplexion seeping into his face. "...If you say so."
[22:01] * Rime rolls to her hooves, walking back toward Razor, a bit between her and Missile_Rush. She looks back over her shoulder at him. "As long as we understand each other." She trots over to stand by Razor, leaning against Logic's side. "I guess I'm game for whatever."
[22:02] * Missile_Rush almost chuckles at Rime's smugness. Almost.
[22:02] * Logic contemplates on this for a while. "Fine," He said. "On one condition. We take back a terminal from the place."
[22:03] * Missile_Rush looks to Logic. "If you'd like a terminal, then be my guest." He ponders that. He honestly wouldn't mind a Pipbuck, himself...
[22:04] * Logic smiles. "Alright. Where is this place?"
[22:05] * Missile_Rush gives Logic the coordinates and directions he remembers from the map. "Right in the middle of Steel Rangers territory. As for the Stable-Tec facilities, Rom says that they are scattered all over Hoofington."
[22:14] * Rime 's hoof travels to her pack for a smoke... when she realizes she quit a while back. Well, damn.
[22:17] * Logic thinks on it. He wanted to go to the stadium to get closer, but really, screw Razor. She can walk if it's too important. "Collegiate or the Stadium. What're the votes for each?"
[22:18] * Missile_Rush shrugs. "My vote is for the Colleiate."
[22:18] <Missile_Rush> *Collegiate.
[22:19] * Razor snorts. "I'm not going to that fucking place. We're going to the Stadium anyway!"
[22:21] * Harmony shrugs. "I do not care either way."
[22:24] * Proverb shrugs. "I don't mind either way.
[22:24] <Proverb> "*
[22:24] * Rime stays silent. She really wants to back Razor... but she's supposed to build a bug-brain-scrambler with Logic.
[22:25] * Razor scowls. "There's no 'choice' being made! We're /already going to the Stadium/!"
[22:26] * Logic seemed undeterred by this, and like she wants to do to him, ignores her.
[22:27] * Missile_Rush sighs and decides to break the stalemate. "Because we are already going to the Stadium, perhaps we should just start there. I retract my vote."
[22:30] * Logic looks to Green_Field and Daisy. "You two?"
[22:35] * Razor gives an exasperated sigh. "Here's what's happening! I'm going to the Stadium as soon as I get my armor done! I've been away waaaay too long without doing a fight. I /need/ to do one. So there is /no/ room for arguing!"
[22:37] * Logic continues to ignore Razor, cheeks blushing a little, ears down, and eyes furrowed, as if pressure was building in his skull.
[22:41] * Rime looks between both. Fuck... this sucks.
[22:41] * Green_Field looks at Razor. "If I take you there, could you get us a place to stay?"
[22:53] * Missile_Rush scuffs a hoof along the ground as he awaits an answer from the others.
[22:53] * Razor simply says, "If any of you go to that stupid place, then it's without me!" She looks to Green_Field. "The rooms are for Reapers only. You should know that!" She smirks. "Unless you wanted to sleep on the floor. Because I /know/ you won't be sleeping in my bed."
[22:54] <Green_Field> "Oh, well then have fun walking. I vote Collegiate."
[22:56] * Rime glares at Missile_Rush. This is all his fault, him and his gizmo hunt.
[22:58] * Logic counts up the votes. "Alright. One for the Stadium, one for the Collegiate, two don't care.
[22:59] * Rime clears her throat, still glaring at Missile_Rush. "I'm going with Razor. So... Stadium..."
[22:59] <Green_Field> "You missed a vote. Missile_Rush and I both voted collegiate."
[22:59] * Rime looks to Green_Field. "He retracted his vote."
[23:01] * Razor snorts at Green_Field.
[23:02] * Logic looks at Daisy.
[23:03] * Missile_Rush sighs. "So that's two for Stadium, one for Collegiate, two that don't care."
[23:06] <Green_Field> "Well, I'd prefer someplace where I don't have to sleep on the floor. So, if you're going to the stadium, Daisy and I will find somewhere else to stay."
[23:08] * Rime looks at him. "We might not even have to stay. Spend an easy day here, rest up. Pop in to the Arena and set up what Razor needs. Then we can pop out to the Collegiate to sleep. Except Razor and I... I guess."
[23:13] * Rime looks between Logic and Green_Field, "Between you two horn-boys, it shouldn't be hard to move between the two places... right?"
[23:15] * Missile_Rush looks to Razor. "Exactly how long do you plan to stay at the Stadium?"
[23:15] * Green_Field looks at Daisy, an idea forming in his head.
[23:17] * Razor sighs. "I need to do a fight. So at least a day. Maybe more if I need to rest!"
[23:17] * Logic nods at Green, resisting emotion, but ultimately feeling angry and betrayed. How the fuck do ponies like Razor get any sort of admiration? Is it because she's strong? She's dumber than he is, less proficient with magic, hated anything even remotely close to bettering herself beyond a change of superficial status. He shook his head of these thoughts. They did not belong in his head. He was...
[23:17] * Logic ...bigger than this. Even if he was doing the whim of a grown-up child who'd never- He rubbed his temple. "Fine, whatever."
[23:18] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy tilts her head, not having any ideas
[23:21] * Green_Field puts a hoof on Daisy's withers. "You talked about some fun. We could go somewhere while she does her business. Now that I can move us around, we have more freedom to do that."
[23:22] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy blinks, "Oh. Forgot you could do that. Haven't uthed it much. What were you thinking?"
[23:23] * Proverb sighs softly. She'll go wherever the others went... primarily wherever Harmony went.
[23:24] * Green_Field grins. "Perhaps back to Flank?"
[23:26] * Razor smirks. "The faster we get that done, the faster we can all get ourselves killed by the Rangers, alright?"
[23:37] * Logic doesn't look happy.
[23:38] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy blushes, but nods. She could really use some more alone time with Green.
[23:38] * Proverb wishes she could have alone time with Harmony...
[23:39] * Rime looks over to Logic. She's trying to help! Really! "Yeah, we can get both done that way." She gives him a weak smile, her ears struggling to stay up.
[23:43] * Green_Field smiles and turns back to the others. "So when and where are we meeting up?"
[23:44] * Missile_Rush looks to Green_Field. "The sooner the better. Recall that we have a week to finish this."
[23:50] * Logic took a deep breath. "Fine. Fine." He went back to the security room and tried to meditate away his negative emotions. He briefly thought to do a mind probe spell on his own head, but worried, perhaps wisely, that he would get stuck somehow.
[23:50] * Rime shrugs. "Drop us off at the Stadium I guess. Maybe the Reapers have tools I can use to build Logic's gizmo while we're there. Build it at the Stadium and take it back to the Collegiate after the fight or whatever. That work Logic?"
[23:52] * Missile_Rush stands aside. "I have a suit to return in Flank. Perhaps you could drop me off there."
[23:54] * Green_Field thinks a moment. "Well, it'll take me a good amount of energy, but if we stay the night, I should be able to get us there and back to the Collegiate."
[00:01] * Rime realizes she's talking to nopony. Great... he left. She gives Missile_Rush a withering glare. It's all his fault. Now Logic is mad... probably at her. Fuck Sparky. "Looks like I need to find where Logic ran off too." With one last dirty look to Missile_Rush, she takes off. "Don't go anywhere without me, Razor!"
[00:05] * Razor rolls her eyes. "Don't take too long, Rime!"
[00:07] * Green_Field turns to Harmony. "We'll join you all at the Collegiate tomorrow." He then turns back to Missile_Rush. "Ready to go?"
[00:07] * Missile_Rush nods to Green_Field. "Let's go."
[00:07] * Rime follows her gut and ends up at the security room. The same place she had a bit of a throwdown with Bottlecap... that or maybe she just hid in there and thought about stealing shit for spite. She comes back to herself and knocks again.
[00:09] * Green_Field puts a hoof around Daisy and stands next Missile_Rush. "Get ready for the rush." In a flash, they're gone.
[00:09] * Logic opens his eyes and groans a little as he opens the door. "Oh. Hey. Come in."
[00:10] * Rime opens the door and walks in. Her hoofsteps barely register as she slinks in. She's moving like she's walking into danger.
[00:11] * Logic says nothing as she comes in, closes the door, and then just moves to what served as his bed for a little while wordlessly. He sat down and sighed heavily, trying to zone out.
[00:12] * Rime sets next to him. "I'm sorry."
[00:15] * Razor waits for Rime, impatiently!
[00:16] * Logic sighs as his concentration is broken. "I'm not mad at you." He says after some deliberation, trying to get back into that zone.
[00:18] * Rime raises a hoof to rub between his withers. "I'm still sorry."
[00:22] * Rime thinks. "How many times can you teleport us? Could you get us all Razor and I to the Stadium and Proverb and Harmony to the Collegiate? Or maybe drop Proverb and Harmony off tonight so you have more energy to port all around tomorrow? Razor could rest up in our room... and I could stay here with you?"
[00:24] * Logic frowns and looks guilty for a moment. "... Why do you like her?" He said in the most neutral tone he could muster.
[00:29] * Rime "I wonder that sometimes too... Like last night... I thought about it a lot. At first it was because she was strong... badass... and I still think she is." She sighs. "But... she needs me too... It sucks to get thrown away... I know she wouldn't leave me, and I need to not leave her... cause..." Her voice goes softer. "cause... I think the rest would leave her..."
[00:40] * Logic opens up his mouth at first to say how absolutely ridiculous that was, but the more he thought about it, the more of a gray area things became. "So... You hang around her because you pity her." He finally staggers out, trying to make sense of that. And he realized that with any sort of provocation, he'd totally do it. He wants to ditch her. And he doubted that any sort of relationship she's...
[00:40] * Logic ...in other than Rime would do the same. "... Shit." Guilt hits hard.
[00:45] * Rime rests her head on Logic's shoulder. "She's saved me... we're friends... and I don't want her to hurt... I've gotta be there for her cause I can't trust anypony else to be... and it's not fair to you.. so I'm sorry." She nuzzles into his shoulder.
[00:49] * Logic delves deep into thought. "... Rime, question."
[00:49] * Rime looks up, a bit of a grin on her lips. "Shoot."
[00:51] * Logic "Say you're on a runaway wagon and the brakes are out. And you are going to be going through a town. How would you deal with that?"
[00:53] * Rime thinks for a minute. Logically in this hypothetical she'd jump out of the wagon. But considering the situation... "It depends... if what's in the wagon is really important to me, I couldn't just jump out. It might get destroyed or hurt somepony. So I guess I'd just hold on and try to steer."
[00:54] * Logic is glad she follows. "Until you can get the wagon to come to a stop, right?"
[00:55] * Rime nods. "Until it stops dead in it's tracks... as long as it's rolling, I need to try to keep it safe."
[00:56] * Logic leans close to Rime, putting his face close to hers. "So steer."
[00:57] * Rime tilts her head. "Um... In this metaphor... am I supposed to try to direct Razor or ride you?"
[00:58] * Logic blushes heavily. "Razor." He said with a small spark of his horn.
[00:59] * Rime smirks. "Cause you're face is like..." She moves in closer. "Right." Her muzzle nearly touching his. "Here."
[01:04] * Logic scrunchfaces. "You stop that." He said weakly, voice cracking a little bit.
[01:06] * Rime raises a hoof to his cheek. "I'm going to do all I can. So. You take Harmony and Proverb to the Collegiate and get them set up to stay the night. Then come back. I'll fix Razor's armor. She needs to rest so we'll port out tomorrow to drop her at the stadium. See if you can get Bottlecap to get us a workbench first, then we can start on the machine today while Razor recovers."
[01:07] * Rime continues. "Then, tonight, you can pick a few movies for us to watch and I'll stay with you here. It'll be fun."
[01:07] * Logic sighs. "Fine. Deal."
[01:09] * Rime gives him a peck on the lips. "Get me a bench in here if you can. That will be best. I'll go tell Razor the plan."
[01:14] * Logic sighs, then gets up to start up the teleportation express line to the Collegiate. Woo woo.
[01:14] * Rime decides one little kiss isn't enough, so she gives him another before leaving to find Razor. "Razor!"
[01:18] * Razor is waiting where you left her! She's really bored.
[01:18] * Rime trots up to Razor. "Hey! Razor! We got a plan."
[01:21] <TenMihara> Rime's plan works!
