Mad_Group session #3

[20:25]	Rabtar	our group has escaped from the horde of robo-spiders and the pirate raptor. They even managed to save a pair of seemingly random foals, capturing one of the mentioned robo-spiders in the process. They are now headed towards a town named 'Vodkava', taking directions from a pair of foals...
[20:26]	Gaige	shivers a little and tires not to pick at her face "stupid spiders" she kicks a hoof in frustration and looks to the foals,
[20:28]	Lucky_Wrench	is still reading her book, humming a little as they fly onwards.
[20:28]	Artemis_Shortfeather	is cuddled up against Luck_Wrench, purring silently
[20:33]	Lucky_Wrench	looks up from her reading, "We got a lot further to go?"
[20:34]	Rabtar	Orange jumps up and looks out the window "Ummmm..... I |think| we are..."
[20:38]	Redmend	sits in her corner, fiddling with her socks
[20:41]	Lucky_Wrench	"We are...? What are we? Lost?"
[20:41]	Artemis_Shortfeather	's head perks up and she looks somewhat confused "We are lost?"
[20:41]	Gaige	fiddles with her SMG " i hope not"
[20:43]	Rabtar	Orange shrinks "N-no! It just looks all weird from above! W-we should be there soon.... Didn't you guys bring bring your own map?"
[20:44]	Lucky_Wrench	frowns, "Maybe? Is there a map?"
[20:44]	Artemis_Shortfeather	looks through her backpack. "uUhm...nope."
[20:44]	Gaige	shakes her head "i do not remember a bap"
[20:45]	Gaige	blinks and shakes her head "now i am hungry"
[20:45]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"What's a bap?"
[20:46]	Lucky_Wrench	"Something like a bop? With more 'ah' in it. I have a pipbuck if that helps."
[20:47]	Gaige	looks up from her gun to look at Artemis "its like a sandwich... well it is a sandwich with a funny name..."
[20:47]	Rabtar	"You guys are weird..."
[20:48]	Gaige	looks at the Fouls "and you nearly got eaten by spiders! so BLAH!"
[20:50]	Rabtar	"So did you!" hopping up and getting in Gaige's face
[20:50]	Artemis_Shortfeather	raises an eyebrow "Oh, yeah, right."
[20:51]	Redmend	"Not to mention, your face almost got eaten by a spider..."
[20:52]	Gaige	shakes her head "i would have been fine! you are the one who got us in trouble!" she turns to Redmend "you!... shush!"
[20:52]	Lucky_Wrench	puts her book away, "Sort of spider thing... it's not a real spider, right?"
[20:52]	Rabtar	"Oh yeah well.... welll... your face is dumb as a butt!"
[20:52]	Redmend	just shrugs and tends to her gun.
[20:53]	Gaige	points at the Foul "AT LEAST I HAVE A BUTT!"
[20:54]	Rabtar	"Your pretty..." his eyes going wide and face turning red with embarrassment "I-i mean your dumb!"
[20:55]	Gaige	rolls her eyes and points at the spider "can i take a look at that?"
[20:55]	Artemis_Shortfeather	snickers
[20:56]	Redmend	actually chuckles lightly. Can you believe that?
[20:56]	Rabtar	his sister silently snickers at him from her corner
[20:57]	Lucky_Wrench	whispers in a mock-voiceover, "Even in the face of absolute flirtation, our fearless leader carries on."
[20:57]	Rabtar	"Shut up! I didn't mean it!.... Please don't tell anypony?"
[21:00]	Gaige	grins "well i KNOW i am pretty! evan with the sexy scar i look good!" she wiggles her flank
[21:01]	Redmend	blushes, but rolls her eyes and occupies herself with her sock again.
[21:03]	Rabtar	Orange reaches out like he's going to touch her flank but stops himself "No! Your a dumb butt! Fillies are ikky" stomping off to the corner to pout, face bright red
[21:03]	Lucky_Wrench	giggles, "You've scared him off now!"
[21:03]	Artemis_Shortfeather	smirks "That'S debateable, oh great leader."
[21:05]	Redmend	just says nothing, still blushing.
[21:05]	Artemis_Shortfeather	packs her stuff and grabs her rifle, taking a look outside "So, are we there yet?"
[21:07]	Gaige	moves over and presses her ice cold steel hoof between Artemis_Shortfeather's wings "what? so im not 'hot'?" she giggles
[21:08]	Artemis_Shortfeather	glares into Gaige's eyes "Wanna compete for the title of "Group Bicycle"?"
[21:09]	Gaige	blinks "why? you want a ride?" she snickers and moves her hoof back
[21:09]	Artemis_Shortfeather	makes a step forward "That depends..."
[21:10]	Gaige	only slightly hides her blush "on what?"
[21:11]	Lucky_Wrench	giggles, "I love this group already!"
[21:11]	Rabtar	Orange watches them from his corner, keenly aware that me is the only colt in the wagon
[21:11]	Artemis_Shortfeather	grins "Haw about Harley&Clawson Fatboy. I heard it was a pretty beautiful motorcycle before the bombs fell."
[21:13]	Gaige	blinks "that a griffin make? never heard of it, anyway what has that got to do with this?"
[21:13]	Artemis_Shortfeather	laughs and goes back to Lucky_Wrench "Yeah, it is, silly."
[21:18]	Gaige	shrugs and moves over to the spider looking it over
[21:18]	Lucky_Wrench	stretches, "You think there's time for some shut eye before we get there?"
[21:18]	Redmend	stands up and moves on over to Gaige, looking down at the thing. She stands awkwardly close to her. "So...what do you think?"
[21:21]	Gaige	leans forward and pokes it with a hoof, her cybernetic hoof to be on the safe side before looking up at Redmend "well i would have made it bigger, that way the swarm tactic would not be the only way for it to work... would have also put some lasers on it so it could fight at range" she taps her chin with her real hoof
[21:22]	Lucky_Wrench	"Don't give it ideas please."
[21:22]	Artemis_Shortfeather	flicks a speck of snow off her rifle's iron sights "Conventional firearms are better."
[21:24]	Rabtar	the robo-spider comes apart easy enough, it's not any design she is familiar with. It dose still have recognizable parts and there is a 'Robronco' logo on the matrix. The most puzzling thing is that there seems to be nothing wrong with it, it wasn't cut, shot, burned or anything...
[21:25]	Redmend	completely ignores Artemis_Shortfeather's demeaning comment about MEWs, which is completely unlike herself. It's just, that she is currently a bit occupied with noticing how cute Gaige looks, when she is thinking like that. She blushes again and looks to the ground.
[21:25]	Gaige	shakes her head "guns are ok, but here is somethin- hang on" she looks down and pokes it a bit harder with her cybernetic limb "why are you broken?"
[21:26]	Artemis_Shortfeather	pokes Lucky_Wrench, points at Redmend and whispers "Look, somebody's got a little ladycrush!"
[21:28]	Lucky_Wrench	looks at Artemis, then at Redmend and back to Artemis, "... you jealous?" She sticks her tongue out and goes over to look at the spider.
[21:28]	Artemis_Shortfeather	cuddles Lucky "Nah."
[21:30]	Gaige	hmms and looks closer lifting her flank unknowingly as she is deaf to the outside world now
[21:30]	Redmend	looks over the spider but can't seem to figure it out in her hazy state.
[21:31]	Lucky_Wrench	giggles, "Easy tiger. There's tech to be looked at!"
[21:31]	Gaige	tail brushes Redmend's muzzle without her knowing
[21:32]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"Oh, there really is...I can feel it!"
[21:33]	Rabtar	Orange is very red sitting in his corner, poor little guy is gunna need a cold shower after this
[21:34]	Redmend	scrunches up her muzzle in surprise and takes a deep whif of the mare's scent. She really needs to sit down now, which she promptly does.
[21:38]	Gaige	shrugs and sits back "well if i knew what some of the things here are... its a Robronco make by the way so its a wonder the thing is still working, anyway, i would have made it better, that's all you need to know"
[21:40]	Redmend	just hangs on Gaige's lips.
[21:41]	Lucky_Wrench	stares at the tech before looking up, "This spider is boring! And no, it's not because I don't understand it. Honestly."
[21:42]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"They died rather quickly. One shot and they're gone. And they sort of 'ate' the wounded. I feel there's more to them than meets the eye."
[21:43]	Gaige	rolls her eyes "its not boring, its actually quite smart, anyway you are just don't understand" she somehow pushes up a pair of hipster glasses that vanish the second time you look at her
[21:45]	Lucky_Wrench	points a hoof at Gaige, "It's boring because it has no life to it! All it does is just lie there and be dead."
[21:45]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"A tank would be cool."
[21:45]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"I mean, we could drive a tank! And they have better heating too."
[21:46]	Gaige	rolls her eyes "its not 'dead' they cant 'die' that one can evan be restated!" she shakers her head
[21:46]	Redmend	nods eagerly.
[21:47]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"if you're gonna reboot that thing, I'll shoot it, then you."
[21:47]	Redmend	"Hey now! I'm sure we both are more than capable of controlling that thing."
[21:48]	Rabtar	after a bit of wandering they finally reach Vodkava. The settlement looks to have once been a Equestrian military base at one point, consisting of large barracks buildings and a control tower. There is an alarming number of large anti-aircraft weapons positioned around the settlement, most seem to be 'manned' but they don't seem to be paying the skywagon much attention
[21:48]	Lucky_Wrench	points at Artemis_Shortfeather, "I like her." She then looks at the spider, "Don't think that the stable filly is a fool, it probably can only be restarted by who made it in a certain way. Else it would be alive still. I think." She looks up, "Oooh, big guns."
[21:49]	Artemis_Shortfeather	lloks out the window. "This was a base! They have booze!"
[21:49]	Gaige	sits back just before Redmend closer then she knows "oh and you want to start a fight with me now? not smart, i am a badass" she looks to the settlement "now this is a nice place"
[21:51]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"Oh god, I need to get laid too. It has been like, what, three weeks without any privacy?"
[21:51]	Redmend	blushes immensely and hurries to stand up and get some distance.
[21:52]	Lucky_Wrench	"Shush, busy looking at big guns."
[21:52]	Gaige	rolls her eyes "yes, no privacy, we all see what you do when you think nopony is looking" she points a hoof "you an those talons of yours!"
[21:53]	Rabtar	Orange tells Sammy to put the wagon down a short ways outside the settlement. Both he and his sister scurry off to get an 'adult' "Wait here! I'll go tell them what's up!"
[21:54]	Redmend	walks over to a window to get some wind in her face and look at the town.
[21:54]	Artemis_Shortfeather	half-loads her rifle and puts on the safety. "Don't wanna get in trouble, do we?"
[21:56]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"Gaige, you must be dreaming. I have enough decency to not masturbate while are others are trying to sleep."
[21:57]	Lucky_Wrench	sits at the wagon's doors patiently, "I want guns now."
[21:57]	Gaige	gets onto her hind hooves and points her cybernetic hoof dramatically "OBJECTION!" she holds the pose for a while
[21:59]	Artemis_Shortfeather	smirks. "Don't get into a fight with the killing machine, no let me through, I want to get drunk!"
[21:59]	Artemis_Shortfeather	*now let
[22:00]	Gaige	gets back onto her hoves " i made my point" she turns and goes to explore the settlement
[22:04]	Rabtar	a few of the smaller guns turn towards the wagon as a gruff looking grey and red stallion comes up to the group "Weren't you told to sit? Not gunna last if your can't follow a simple instruction like that" he raises a hoof into the air and the guns go back to there normal positions "If it wasn't for you ponies getting Code Red and Orange Crush back to us you probably would of just been pasted"
[22:06]	Redmend	walks over next to Gaige, to listen to the stallion.
[22:07]	Lucky_Wrench	points inside the wagon, "We come bearing spiders."
[22:07]	Gaige	cocks her head "is shooting anyone who comes near a good idea? what about trade?"
[22:08]	Rabtar	"So I've been told. Now hurry up and bring that thing inside the perimeter. Then we'll talk." and he trots back to the settlement
[22:09]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"Now wait just a fluffdarn minute. Do we get something in exchange for the spiders anda little reward for bringing the kids back safely? For all I know those spiders are hard as a hellhoud's braincage to kill AND get back in one piece."
[22:09]	Redmend	"I'll get it." She runs back to the waggon to get the spiders.
[22:12]	Rabtar	"You aren't helping yourselves much. Get that thing in the perimeter first"
[22:13]	Redmend	returns with the mecharachnids.
[22:14]	Artemis_Shortfeather	hmphs "Just sayin'."
[22:14]	Gaige	rolls her eyes "well now we know to only help with upfront pay do you know who i am! wait, forget that you don't, i am not important besides being a badass! i am not somepony you might know from somewhere!"
[22:15]	Lucky_Wrench	walks after, "Don't care. Just need to see guns. And get better guns we can use."
[22:15]	Rabtar	Sammy manages to get the wagon into the air once more and landing it in the middle of the settlement, passing out from the excitement and... nosebleeds shortly after the unhitch him
[22:15]	Redmend	has another swooning fit at Gaige.
[22:16]	Rabtar	the stallion from before comes back "Now what was so important that you couldn't wait?"
[22:16]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"Uhm... A pirate Raptor."
[22:17]	Rabtar	"What do you think all the artillery is for?"
[22:18]	Artemis_Shortfeather	winks playfully "Compensating something?"
[22:19]	Gaige	giggles and nods "besides small dick, do you have a trader?"
[22:20]	Artemis_Shortfeather	faceplams
[22:21]	Redmend	gasps and blushes.
[22:23]	Artemis_Shortfeather	grabs Gaige "I offer has a toll. She has a big mouth. Good for talking bullshit and blowjobs too."
[22:23]	Artemis_Shortfeather	*her as a toll
[22:24]	Redmend	"P-please excuse my companions. We just have been through a lot just recently. And take your claws off of her!"
[22:24]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"What you gonna do? Strangle me with your sock?"
[22:25]	Redmend	just grits her teeth and says nothing.
[22:26]	Gaige	grabs Artemis_Shortfeather back "she has hands! handjobs for all!"
[22:26]	Lucky_Wrench	flops on the ground, "Wake me when we get thrown out."
[22:28]	Rabtar	his eye twitches "If I so much as HEAR of you fucks causing trouble I'll have you shot! Welcome to Vodkava fuckers!" and he stomps off
[22:28]	Redmend	"W-well...that was a warm welcome..."
[22:29]	Gaige	lets go of Artemis_Shortfeather and grins "well that went well! who votes we get drunk? the rounds on Artemis_Shortfeather!"
[22:29]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"Better than death. Let's get going folks!"
[22:29]	Lucky_Wrench	stays on the ground, "I'll catch up after guns."
[22:30]	Redmend	wouldn't normally drink, but opts for staying with Gaige.
[22:31]	Artemis_Shortfeather	"Ok, we're broke. This is the plan: each of you get a guy to buy you drinks. If things get serious, vanish."
[22:33]	Gaige	nods and makes her way to the local tavern, inn,pub,bar,placetogetpissdrunk
[22:34]	Redmend	follows with a slightly worried look.
[22:34]	Artemis_Shortfeather	follows Gaige
[22:35]	Rabtar	Sammy groans and whimpers on the ground, still quite out
[22:36]	Lucky_Wrench	shuffles her way to Sammy, "Come on. We're going to see some very large phallic objects that shoot things. Because I want to."
[22:38]	Rabtar	Lucky_Wrench carries Sammy with her as she searches out the merchant, a passerby giving her directions...
[22:41]	Rabtar	the others find a small bar, but unfortunately for them they get little attention, only a lone very old stallion buys a weak drink for Gaige before he falls alseep at his table, it seems they are not very popular, maybe it has something to do with that stallion from earlier...
[22:44]	Rabtar	for not getting thrown out of Vodkava and learning a little about the strange robo-spiders the group gets 400xp. Artemis_Shortfeather and Gaige get -2 karma for being dicks
