FoE PNP Group Unlucky 13 Session 49

[16:21] <TenMihara|GM> *****PnP Group 13, Hoofington Sucks: Session 49*****
[16:22] <TenMihara|GM> Peace
[16:22] <TenMihara|GM> Some people see it as a joke
[16:22] <TenMihara|GM> Others as a thing of ages past
[16:22] <TenMihara|GM> Something they will never know, and the world may never see again
[16:22] <TenMihara|GM> Some people try to bring it about through force
[16:23] <TenMihara|GM> Others simply hope and pray that there will be a time it comes again.
[16:24] <TenMihara|GM> Whether Peace is earned, taken or forced, will it be worth it?
[16:24] <TenMihara|GM> Is it even possible?
[16:24] <TenMihara|GM> Sometimes the best that can be hoped for is a sense of personal peace.
[16:24] <TenMihara|GM> Although even that is hard fought
[16:24] <TenMihara|GM> Will our wastelanders bring peace? Or perhaps find a little peace of mind at least?
[16:24] <TenMihara|GM> I guess we'll find out...
[16:24] <TenMihara|GM> *****Sessin Begins*****
[16:25] <TenMihara|GM> The party, sans logic, is assembled near the Collegiate's gymnasium. Feelers arrived after the group spent the night, having been unable to return to the Stadium without Logic's transportation.
[16:28] * Logic walks around near the front area. "I wanna talk to Professor Zodiac. Or whoever handles money for projects."
[16:30] <TenMihara|GM> The receptionist looks to Logic. "Name?"
[16:30] * Logic half-lids his eyes. "Logic Gates."
[16:31] * Missile_Rush scuffs his hoof on the ground. "We should get going."
[16:32] * Rime moves the unlit cigarette from one corner of her mouth to the other. "Hold your horses, Sparky. We still need Logic."
[16:34] * Razor scratches a hoof against the ground. "...He'd better hurry up then!"
[16:34] <TenMihara|GM> The receptionist pulls up something on her terminal and nods. "Hmm... How much did you need, and what was it for?"
[16:35] * Missile_Rush turns to Rime and Razor. "/Must/ you insist on calling me 'Sparky'?"
[16:36] * Rime "Does it bother you, Sparky?"
[16:36] * Logic does a bit more mental math. "A thousand four hundred caps for continued field studies of 'Taintlings'."
[16:38] * Razor snickers. "I like it! It suits you!"
[16:39] <TenMihara|GM> The receptionist taps away at her keyboard. "Huh. Well, unfortunately your Monthly grant caps at a thousand."
[16:41] * Logic looks rather disappointed about this. "I just dragged a still living monstrosity that could've turned me into it's hypno-powder or lit me on fire with it's napalm-like shit. Plus, I'm getting a stipend from Feelers of the Reapers. Please reconsider."
[16:42] <TenMihara|GM> The receptionist shakes her head, "I'm just telling you what you've been portioned out. It's a rather impressive grant for someone your age."
[16:42] * Missile_Rush sighs. Clearly, there wan't any point in trying to argue. Instead, he decides to change the subject. "So who is this Logic fellow?"
[16:43] * Logic sighs. "I'm the greatest hacker in Hoofington." He said, matter-of-factly. "It'll do."
[16:43] * Proverb is standing next to Harmony, ready yo depart.
[16:44] <TenMihara|GM> The mare clicks a few more keys and writes something down, floaing a note over to logic. "Take this to the finance office on the third floor and they'll get you your caps."
[16:44] * Rime "He's the greatest hacker in Hoofington. He's smart and cute, so basically the anti-you, Sparky." She leers at Missile_Rush.
[16:45] * Razor rolls her eyes at Rime's gushing.
[16:45] * Missile_Rush gives a faint smirk at Rime. "If you say so, little filly."
[16:45] <TenMihara|GM> The note contains Logic's name, the requested withdrawl, and a series of letters an numbers logic would probably figure out quickly enough represent some kind of authorization
[16:46] * Logic grabs the note, and heads up to the finance office to grab his grant money. Hopefully, it'll happen quick so that he could get back to the group.
[16:46] * Harmony bumps Rime's side lightly, looking down with a frown. "Be nice, Rime..."
[16:46] * Rime Gives a flippant hoof motion. "He's like, the third coolest pony in the group, after me and Razor."
[16:46] <TenMihara|GM> The exchange at the Finance office only takes a minute. Logic is presented with five neatly tied rolls of two-hundred caps each.
[16:47] * Missile_Rush nods at Rime, then looks up at Harmony. "I don't think we've introduced?"
[16:47] * Logic nods, then heads back downstairs and prepares his magic. He's back shortly if nothing stops him.
[16:48] <TenMihara|GM> Feelers looks relieved to see Logic return.
[16:48] * Harmony smiles politely, nodding at Missile. "Harmony. It is a pleasure to meet you more... formally." She chuckles. "And I apologize about the potion. It was not my intent to hit you."
[16:50] * Missile_Rush shakes his head. "It's nothing. I am Missile Rush, it's a pleasure." He looks to Proverb with a frown, then turns back to the others, turning his flute over in his hooves.
[16:50] * Razor mutters something about what that says about the other ponies in the group, under her breath.
[16:51] * Logic had stashed the money for now. "Hey, guys." He traces over Missile with his eyes. "He coming with?"
[16:53] * Rime rolls to her stomach on Razor's back to better so Logic. Her cigarette dangles loosely at the corner of her mouth. "He seems to be..."
[16:53] * Green_Field puts a hoof around Daisy to help her balance through the inevitable teleport and quietly waits, watching this group chat is rather entertaining.
[16:53] * Missile_Rush 's eyes turn to Logic. "And who are you? Are you Logic?"
[16:54] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy snickers quietly
[16:55] * Logic nods. "Yeah. I'm Logic. We met a little while ago. You said something a little offensive to me a little while ago." He doesn't seem all that worked up about the last part, so odds are he's forgiven him already.
[16:59] * Razor taps a hoof. "Talk later. Leaving now!"
[17:02] * Logic sighs. "'Kay." And then they weren't in the College anymore.
[17:04] <TenMihara|GM> Feelers blinks and wobbles a bit at the unexpected change in surroundings
[17:04] * Proverb groans, leaning against Harmony. "I'm never going to get used to that."
[17:04] * Green_Field was becoming rapidly used to the sudden changes of location.
[17:05] * Missile_Rush blinks his crimson eyes briefly, before putting a hoof up to them with a groan.
[17:05] * Harmony blink blinks. "Logic... maybe next time, warn us, yes?"
[17:05] * Rime gives a little suck on the end of her filterless cigarette, eeking a tiny bit of nicotine. She gets comfy in her spot on Razor's back.
[17:05] * Razor still doesn't like that whole teleporting thing.
[17:06] * Logic tilts his head toward Razor. "She said to leave right at that moment. I did."
[17:08] * Harmony rolls her eyes. "Right. Well, Razor, are you ready?"
[17:10] * Razor gives Harmony a confused look. "Ready for what?"
[17:11] * Green_Field looks over at the stadium, it was still a little odd to see it and not have to do work.
[17:11] * Harmony blinks. "...Are you not here to take on another Reaper challenge?"
[17:11] * Missile_Rush looks to the stadium himself, brow furrowed. He says nothing.
[17:11] <TenMihara|GM> Feelers looks around. "Do any of you require my presence further?"
[17:12] * Proverb tilts her head at Razor.
[17:14] * Razor understands now! "I'm here for..." She thinks for a moment. "...business. We don't have time for a fight!" She starts trotting inside!
[17:14] <TenMihara|GM> Feelers shrugs and buzzes off
[17:15] * Harmony tilts her head, following behind. "Should we follow, or would you have us wait?"
[17:16] * Green_Field follows behind. That is afterall, what he mostly does.
[17:17] * Logic frowns, then takes the rolls out of his saddlebags and starts separating them into sections of 160 caps each. He repeated "Money" over and over again as he gives each member his share. When he gets to Missile, he frowns more sharply, grunts, and repeats "Money" one last time before hoofing him 40 caps.
[17:17] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy sticks close to Green_Field
[17:18] * Missile_Rush doesn't wait for an answer as he pursues Razor. He doesn't give Logic a second glance, nor the caps.
[17:19] * Green_Field turns back at the sound of free caps, and takes his with a "Thank you". Free are free caps.
[17:19] <Green_Field> Free caps are free caps.*
[17:20] * Proverb smiles at Logic, before giving her share to Harmony.
[17:20] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy blinks at the gifted funds. She pulls out her paper and wrties to Logic, 'What for?"
[17:20] * Harmony quirks her head, stopping as Logic presents the caps. "Are you sure? They are for your research, after all..."
[17:21] * Logic shrugs. "You're my in-field companions. In-field companions get paid." Except Razor, apparently, since she bolted off without taking hers.
[17:23] * Harmony smiles and nods appreciatively, taking the offered caps. "Thank you, Logic." She smiles, nuzzling Proverb's cheek. "And Proverb."
[17:23] <Green_Field> "It's always nice to see ponies respect the concept." Before turning back to follow Razor.
[17:23] * Harmony nods, seeing as Razor refuses to stop... turns, and trots to keep up!
[17:23] * Rime looks around as she rides in style up toward the stadium, she pushes her hat back on the rear of her head.
[17:24] * Proverb nuzzles Harmony back, before following after her!
[17:24] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy blinks, then nods. She slips her paper away, looking back to Green_Field
[17:24] * Razor doesn't turn down free caps. She has telekinesis, so she just takes hers from Logic anyway, distance doesn't matter! She glances to Harmony. "Do something. I don't want /anypony/ following me." She eyes Rime, then removes her from her back, placing her on the ground at her hooves. "That includes you, too."
[17:25] * Missile_Rush stops to speak to Logic. "I've done nothing to earn these. Keep them, if you don't mind. If you do, keep them anyway. Consider it a gift from a stranger." He turns back to follow Razor, wherever the filly might be going.
[17:25] * Logic frowns. That was his share. Bugger.
[17:26] * Logic looks at Missile_Rush. "Eh. You need to pay for provisions if you're traveling with us."
[17:26] * Rime throws Razor a salute. "I'll make sure you aren't followed!" She turns and glowers at the approaching Missile_Rush. "That means you! Back off, Sparky!"
[17:28] * Missile_Rush makes no reply to Logic, though he stops as he hears Razor's voice call back. He doesn't so much as regard Rime.
[17:29] * Harmony frowns, stopping abruptly. "Very well... then," she looks around to her companions. "how shall we pass the time?"
[17:29] * Logic shrugs, then hoofs Daisy the forty caps. She was at least there.
[17:29] * Razor trots off by herself! She has somepony she wants to see.
[17:29] * Green_Field stops next to Harmony. "Well, are there any fight going on. You could bet on them and try to get more money."
[17:30] * Rime snorts, pointing with her hoof between her eyes and then toward Missile_Rush's eyes then back again. "I'm watching you." She does watch him for a few more beats then sneaks off. She has to make sure Razor isn't being followed, so she has to stay close enough to make sure!
[17:30] * Missile_Rush snickers as Rime turns tail to follow Razor down. Foals. Go figure.
[17:31] <TenMihara|GM> X's room is in the far side of the arena, in the same wing as the rest of the Big Ten Reapers. Seismic snoring can be heard coming from Gorgon's room, and Psychoshy's room sounds like someone is having a little too much fun beating up a kicking bag.
[17:32] * Proverb leans against Harmony, nuzzling the mare.
[17:33] * Missile_Rush sits back with a faint sigh. His expression hasn't changed one iota since he spoke to Razor at the gym. As he sits, though, his expression seems to calm a bit as he pulls his flute out and begins to play once more.
[17:35] * Green_Field pats Daisy's withers when he sees Logic give her the 40 caps. "There. Your first ever payment."
[17:35] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles, thenk chuckles, writing, 'Not sure how I earned it though.'
[17:36] * Rime is rushing a bit to catch up, but she's still rather stealthy as she attempts to follow Razor.
[17:38] * Green_Field pulls out 60 of his share and offers it too her. "Well, I know that you've earned this much at least."
[17:41] * Razor stays as far away from Psychoshy's room as she can get. That pony may not be the most /lethal/ Reaper, but she's probably the most likely to pick a fight. She heads straight for X's room and, after looking around to make sure nopony is around, knocks!
[17:42] <TenMihara|GM> The door to X's room opens and the helmeted Reaper looks out. She she sees who it is, she quickly glances to either side, then pulls Razor inside
[17:43] * Logic feels awkward and just kinda follows the herd.
[17:44] <TenMihara|GM> X sees the shadow of a small figure moving down the hall and holds up a hoof to Razor, stepping back out. She makes her way up to the filly attempting to be sneaky and glares at her through the visor of her helmet, which showed only her eyes and obscured her face.
[17:45] * Razor waits, a bit nervously. Does that mean she was followed?
[17:46] * Rime is caught. She screws on her most innocent smile. She whispers conspiritorially. "Hey, I'm making sure nopony is following Razor. I think she's in the clear."
[17:46] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy tilts her head 'Doing what?'
[17:47] <TenMihara|GM> X frowns down at Rime. She brandishes a heavy gauntlet at the filly and points to her room.
[17:48] * Rime goes where pointed.
[17:49] <TenMihara|GM> X shuts the door behind her, frowning at Razor and pointing a hoof at Rime without speaking.
[17:49] * Rime smiles at Razor. "You weren't followed. I made sure."
[17:49] * Green_Field replies to Daisy. "For putting up with me. You deserve at least something for it."
[17:49] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy giggles
[17:50] * Razor gives a glare at Rime. "I said that included you, too! What are you doing here!?"
[17:51] <TenMihara|GM> X taps an impatient hoof, giving a look to Razor as if to ask why she let herself be followed, and whether or not the filly could be trusted. The alternative of course, was simply doing away with her.
[17:52] * Rime 's ears go flat. She rubs one foreleg with the other. "I just wanted to watch out for you..."
[17:54] * Razor gives a sigh. She gives a glance up at X, then back down to Rime. She doesn't know what to do! "You weren't supposed to know where I was going. It's... an important secret."
[17:58] * Missile_Rush finishes the piece with a sigh, as he puts the flute back in a pocket and leans back, looking upwards at the sky.
[17:59] * Rime glances up, looking suitably abashed. She steels her resolve. "You're the most badass pony ever! But you miss things sometimes. I'm not going to let /anypony/ fuck with you. So I'm going to watch your back, like it or not!" She stomps her hoof.
[17:59] * Logic proceeds to crack open his book and, probably for the first time in the building's history, studies advanced magical theory in the big stadium.
[18:00] * Rime tries to afix X with her best "Don't fuck with my Razor" glare.
[18:02] <TenMihara|GM> X is unimpressed. Her own 'Don't fuck with my daughter' glare is far more intense
[18:03] * Rime thinks the full face helmet makes determining the effect of the glare impossible. Her glares are generally unimpressive, considering...
[18:04] * Razor just shakes her head. She sounds very agitated! "This is more important than that. More important than /anything/. Nopony can find out. No. Pony." She gives Rime a very harsh glare. "Do you understand? No. Pony."
[18:05] <TenMihara|GM> X waits for Razor to give her a yay or neigh on the filly's trustworthiness.
[18:06] * Razor isn't going to ever give a 'yay' for anything to do with this secret! It's way too important to her.
[18:08] * Rime withers under the glare, starting to feel the import and the danger to herself. "Razor..." She walks the short distance between them and sits just in front of her. She wraps her forelegs around one of Razor's. She closes her eyes. "I trust you... you trust me... right?"
[18:11] * Rime doesn't know whether to expect a pat or a knife... she squeezes her eyes tight and waits.
[18:11] * Green_Field looks at Logic reading. "Speaking of that, you and I talked about you teaching me how to teleport. You still up for that?"
[18:14] * Razor gives another sigh. She hugs the filly. "You need to promise that you'll never say a single word to anypony. Ever."
[18:14] * Logic ponders on the "how" of things, and then simply shrugs. "Alright. Where do you want to start?"
[18:16] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks on curiously. She had seen Green teach magic to those two mares at Mixers, and wondered what it would be like for him to learn something new. If he could.
[18:17] * Green_Field shrugs. "We could start here while we're waiting, unless this spot's no good."
[18:17] * Rime goes slack into the hug, clinging onto Razor's leg. "I promise. I promise."
[18:19] * Logic shakes his head. "I meant on the matter of the subject. How familiar are you with trans-spacial arcana?"
[18:21] <Green_Field> "My understanding of the Equestrian language let's me know what that phrase means. That's about it."
[18:25] * Razor keeps up the hug for a little longer before she says, "Good. Nopony can ever find out. I do trust you, Rime... but I couldn't take any chances."
[18:26] <TenMihara|GM> Harmony gets the occasional look from stallions passing by, as someone of her pedigree might expect.
[18:27] * Proverb glares at said stallions, nuzzling Harmony a little.
[18:27] * Missile_Rush is still sitting back, looking up into the sky.
[18:27] * Harmony ignores the looks, waiting for Razor.
[18:27] <TenMihara|GM> X nods and takes off her helmet, making sure the door is shut and bolted. "So, my little Hellraiser, who is this filly, and why is she so taken with you anyways?"
[18:28] <TenMihara|GM> Harmony can see a sign on the betting stall about the matches going on today, if she was still looking for something to pass the time.
[18:29] * Rime squeezes the leg tighter. "Razor is the best." Squeeze.
[18:29] * Logic sighs. "Alright, from the top. Trans-Spacial arcana is a subgroup of transmutation which is usually a subgroup of manipulation magic. It is a sort of arcana that deals with the displacement of matter through a myriad of different reactions that elicit different results."
[18:32] * Harmony hmmms, staring at the betting stand for a few moments, but decides against it. Perhaps if Razor entered again... then it would be a sure bet.
[18:32] * Green_Field nods.
[18:34] * Rime turns to look at X again through totally not slightly blurry eyes. "Whoa... You like..." She whispers, "You look like Razor... a lot."
[18:35] * TenMihara|GM nods. "She is my daughter, and I hope you understand how important that makes her to me."
[18:35] <TenMihara|GM> *X does that
[18:37] * Razor gives a little smile. "This is Rime. She's one of the ponies that travels with me."
[18:38] * Proverb yawns cutely, nuzzling Harmony.
[18:38] * Rime hasn't really had the best of luck with paternal affection, but she would venture the answer is 'a significant amount.' She nods at her name, still taking it in.
[18:39] * Logic goes through a primer on the manipulation school of magic, the trans-spacial reaction, and the wormhole reaction that teleportation is based off of in painstaking detail. He knows his magic.
[18:41] * Green_Field listens, knowing that it'll throw Logic off, if he rushes him. He does a very good job of following Logic through his lecture.
[18:41] * Rime crosses over to X, her head still tilted in confusion. "So... what's the secret?"
[18:42] * Razor also adds, "I... kinda look after her."
[18:46] <TenMihara|GM> X nods, "I see. Reminds me of how I looked after Mister Kay's sone a few times. Sort of." She looks Rime over. "That I am not actually X. I took his name and title when he perished from some illness, in the hopes of using his position in the reapers to my advantages. Specifically, to find my daughter."
[18:47] <TenMihara|GM> *son
[18:48] * Rime considers that, bringing her hoof to her chin. "Oh... so that's why the hush hush, you didn't get in the right way... I get it."
[18:50] * Razor gives a little smile at that. "I still can barely believe we had the same idea. But... you did teach me!"
[18:51] <TenMihara|GM> X, or Smelter rather, nods. "I should hope so." She looks to Rime, "How did you meet my daughter?"
[18:51] * Rime "She burned down my house."
[18:51] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter blinks, looking to Razor
[18:52] * Razor scowls. "It was all because of your dumb robots!"
[18:53] <TenMihara|GM> Smelterl ooks a little lost now
[18:55] * Rime crosses her forelegs. "I totally would have figured out why they went all angry if you guys hadn't blown them up and burned down my house."
[18:55] <TenMihara|GM> Harmony gets a few more passing looks, although some of them aren't exactly friendly. Her face had been on wanted posters for a while after all. Thankfully, apparently nopony wanted to try anything under the nose of the Reapers.
[18:55] * Proverb moves closer to Harmony, nuzzling her more.
[18:55] * Rime smiles, "But it's good now. Now we're BBBFFs!"
[18:56] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter raises an eyebrow, "Big... something Best Friends Forever?"
[18:57] * Rime "Big Badass Best Friends Forever!"
[18:57] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter places a hoof at Rime's Forehead height. "The big part needs a little work for you."
[18:59] * Rime "She's my BBBFF I'm her... umm... N...QABBS... BBFF"
[19:00] * Logic lectures for a little while. "... So after you make a Quark-Neutrino field, you transfer that in the place you want to go, and then ride the resulting resonance wave there. Easy enough, rigjht?"
[19:01] * Rime gives a satisfied smile. That sounds about right.
[19:02] <Green_Field> "In theory of course."
[19:03] * Logic shrugs. "You wanna give it a try?"
[19:03] * Razor snickers. "She'll get there eventually." She doesn't even try to comprehend Rime's abbreviation.
[19:05] <Green_Field> "Wouldn't be much point in asking you to teach me, if I didn't."
[19:05] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter just cracks up at Rime
[19:06] * Rime gives a cheshire cat grin.
[19:13] * Rime trots over to X and looks for the easiest way up. "So... X in public... but what do I call you now? Mom? Some other name?" She sees a plate that will be a good hoofhold and goes for it.
[19:15] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nudges Rime off, frowning, "I beg your pardon?"
[19:16] * Rime sits. "You're name. Unless you want me to call you Mom..."
[19:17] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter frowns, "I am not your mother. If you must, my name is Smelter."
[19:19] * Rime trots back to Razor and scrabble up. "Okay, Miss Smelter. My lips are sealed."
[19:21] * Razor rolls her eyes. She mutters a quiet, "Now you know my pain."
[19:25] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter looks to Rime, "Good. If they're not, I have no qualms about removing your voicebox."
[19:26] * Rime gives a 'zip her lips' motion.
[19:37] * Rime snuggles down into Razor's back. She looks up a moment, they are alone, which means no Green_Field. She pulls out a lighter, "Smoking room?"
[19:37] * Logic backs off. "Alright. Just take it easy and remember that positioning is key. Don't warp into any walls."
[19:38] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter raises an eyebrow, "At your age?"
[19:39] * Razor grins. "You expect any different? She doesn't listen to a word anypony says."
[19:40] * Rime nods. "Won't be the thing that kills me." Taking that as permission she lights up, blowing a ring up from Razor's back.
[19:42] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter shrugs, "True enough I suppose. Smoking only kills anypony who lives to be old."
[19:43] * Green_Field figures it's best to only try to move a foot or two in front of himself. His horn lights as he focuses on setting the field up to ride the resulting wave. He concentrates and concentrates aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand nothing.
[19:50] * Rime puffs another soothing smokering well out of sight of the well meaning doctor. She can have secrets too! She focuses on her smoking to give them the semblence of family bonding time.
[19:52] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter looks a touch impressed. "Not many can do that y'know."
[19:53] * Razor uses this opportunity to give her mom a hug. "I had to come see you before I left. I don't know how long it will be before I can come back."
[19:53] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter hugs Razor tenderly and nuzzles her. "What have you been doing? And what are you going to be doing?"
[19:58] * Rime blows a pair of smokerings in quick succession, forming them into an eight. Infinity, bitches! She likes being impressive.
[20:02] * Razor returns the nuzzle! "We've been doing some kind of... thing. I don't really get what it's about, but there's these nasty bugs. We lugged one all over the place after we caught it." She pauses. "And, next we're going to the Society." She scowls. "They're the reason that Kay was hurt. They hired the griffons!"
[20:08] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nods. "Then you make sure to fuck them up good. Be careul though; the society may be made up a bunch of snobs, but they got the caps to pay for some of the best mercs around."
[20:10] * Razor nods. "I will. They won't be able to stop me even if they tried!"
[20:19] * Proverb kisses Harmony.
[20:24] * Rime sucks down some more soothing smoke. Blessed nicotine, why did I tell Green I would quit you?
[20:28] * Green_Field takes a breath and concentrates again, he can feel the space in front of him start to warp, but he loses concentration before he can ride it.
[20:35] <TenMihara|GM> SMelter nods. "Good. Would mean a lot to me to see the ponies that hurt Mister Kay get what's coming to them."
[20:42] * Razor nods again. "I'll make sure they do..."
[20:47] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter looks to Rime. "What about you?"
[20:48] * Rime "I watch Razor's back and back her play. She wants to fuck up those cunt-sniffing, dong-jugglers in the Society, their shit will be fucked."
[20:51] * Razor smiles. "They don't stand a chance!"
[20:52] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter raises an eyebrow at Rime. "You have the mouth of a Raider twice your age."
[20:53] * Rime smirks. "Drop the right fucking word, ponies will lose their shit or pull up. Get an extra step when your hoof gets caught in a saddlebag."
[20:54] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nods, "Interesting."
[20:57] * TenMihara|GM looks Rime over, "You're a little too small to be engaging ponies directly. How do you fight?"
[20:57] <TenMihara|GM> *Smelter
[20:59] * Rime "Sneak in, leave some presents on the backtrail. Get what I need." She gestures at her grenade rifle. "Shit hits the fan, things get loud. Ponies blowing up aren't the best at keeping their fucking eyes on the prize. If any can track me, they hit the traps on my backtrail."
[21:01] * Rime "At least, that's what I /did/. Now I blow up what they need me to, and run back to Razor if things get hot. She's a lot more destructive than a fucking mine." She smiles, a length of ash tumbling free. She gives Razor a hug around the neck.
[21:08] * Logic tries to help him along. "It's like surfing, the book said. Just don't get sucked down in the undertow and die." Helping
[21:08] <Logic> (Helping!)
[21:09] * Razor gives Rime a smile. She learned from the best, after all! "And /nothing/ gets past me."
[21:11] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nods. "Good. Razor may be my daughter, and one of toughest ponies around, but no one out there can do everything alone. Not even me." She looks aorund the room she had been provided by X, and the Reapers unknowingly.
[21:11] * Rime rears up and rests her forelegs on Razor's head. "Damn straight! Razor will /always/ be there for me! No more pickpocketing or... things..."
[21:13] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter looks down at Rime; "Things?"
[21:15] * Rime closes up a bit. "Pony's gotta live..."
[21:16] * Logic is not a good teacher for Green.
[21:16] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nods, "ANd you needn't regret anything you did to accomplish that. Once you die, nothing matters. So you keep on living and doing everything you can while you can."
[21:17] * Rime nods, sinking back into Razor's withers again.
[21:18] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nuzzles Razor. "If I hadn't, then I never would have found you again."
[21:19] * Razor returns the nuzzles! "And I wouldn't have found you, either."
[21:20] * Green_Field doesn't know what surfing is, but with Logic's help and several more failures, he's able to finally teleport himself several feet forward.
[21:27] * Rime gives a little sigh... Razor's mother is scary, but she loves her. Not like her own worthless parents who couldn't be assed to bother even trying to keep living. Fucking quiters.
[21:28] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter looks to Rime, "So, if Hellraiser is looking after you, I take it your parents are not in the picture."
[21:30] * Rime snorts. "Fucking quiters dumped me at Chapel and walked into the damn lazer..."
[21:31] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter frowns, "Disgraceful."
[21:32] * Rime "Didn't need their lame asses anyway. I've done fine on my own." She doesn't sniff. "Just... fucking... fine."
[21:32] * Logic nods and sticks his chest out. "Cool. You'll get the hang of long distance teleportation soon." He sits down, and then re-opens his textbook.
[21:34] * Razor frowns. "They didn't deserve you. You're better than them." She grins. "You're a fighter."
[21:35] * Rime nuzzles into the back of Razor's neck. "I've got better now, anyway!"
[21:37] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter pats Razor on the head, "You certainly do. Just remember that family -never- betrays or abandons family. Your 'parents' aren't worth being considered anything more than garbage for what they did to you. You shouldn't let it trouble you further."
[21:39] * Proverb nudges Harmony.
[21:39] * Rime nuzzles a little harder into Razor's neck, wiping her eyes of some moisture. Must be dusty in here. She looks up to Smelter with a wan grin. "I've got a better family now."
[21:39] <Proverb> "You want to do something Harmy?"
[21:39] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter jokingly adds to Razor, "I could do worse for grandfoals."
[21:40] * Missile_Rush continues to sit back. He hasn't said a word or stirred from his position since he sat there, and he shows no signs of letting up yet.
[21:40] * Rime brightens. "Can I call you Grandma?"
[21:40] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter gives Rime a deathglare for a moment. "No. I'm not old enough for that to not hurt my ego."
[21:40] * Green_Field looks at Logic again. "What was that special version of it that you were casting yesterday when I decided to stay behind?"
[21:41] * Razor snickers. "Me? A mom? Not yet."
[21:41] * Harmony shakes her head, leaning against Proverb. "I am fine with waiting, unless you wish to do otherwise."
[21:42] * Rime chuckles. It feels good to laugh a bit.
[21:42] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nods, "Nor would I expect you to be. You've still got plenty of your own life to live."
[21:44] * Logic frowns. "That... Wasn't a variation per se. It was the use of a spell called 'spell closet' and the use of three teleport spells. Think of them like a stasis spell for magic."
[21:46] <Green_Field> "Stasis? That sounds highly useful."
[21:48] * Proverb nuzzles into Harmony's neck, murring. "Well, is there somewhere we can snuggle at?"
[21:50] * Logic tries to think of it, and then just hooves him the textbook that describes advanced metamagic. "I can't think of a way to teach you how to do that. Your brain has to learn to process information in a specific way."
[21:52] * Harmony sighs. "It isn't the time, Proverb..."
[21:52] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter looks at Razor, "I wouldn't expect you to settle for less than the best you can get anyways."
[21:53] * Proverb sighs and hugs Harmony tightly. "I don't want you to go to the Society... I want you to stay somewhere where they won't come for you..."
[21:54] * Green_Field takes the book and starts looking through it. "Thank you."
[21:55] * Harmony frowns, shaking her head. "I do not want to live in hiding for the rest of my days, and I do not want to cause harm to my friends. I need to deal with my bounty, one way or another."
[21:56] * Logic tries to explain it. "The way I do it is that I trigger the effect with thought. So, I have to think of a thing, and then never think that thing again until I need to pull it out. The way I handle it is to take a word, and think of it backwards to trigger the effect." He seems to have a hard time verbalizing this.
[21:56] * Missile_Rush turns his head to Harmony and Proverb from the corner, perking slightly. Not moving, he speaks to them. "You never really did tell me what exactly happened. What's going on?"
[21:58] * Proverb nods, nuzzling Harmony and kissing her cheek. "I know love... And I'll stay with you through it all."
[21:58] * Rime smirks. "Razor won't tell me what she looks for in a stallion. I've asked! A lot!"
[21:59] * Razor rolls her eyes. "That's none of your business."
[21:59] * Rime "Or a filly, either. She won't say anything!" She continues to direct her complaints to Smelter.
[21:59] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nods to Rime, "No, it isn't. Her preferences are her business."
[22:00] * Rime sulks. "I'm just curious..."
[22:02] * Green_Field despite Logic's having a hard time, sort of understands. "I'm not sure how to do it, but I think I get the idea.
[22:04] * Logic gestures around and around with his hooves. "So, you use a stasis spell triggered to let go on that thought, direct the reaction that takes place, and then you can use it whenever. You have to get used to it, though."
[22:05] * Harmony sighs, dragging her hoof at the ground. "I may as well tell you, if you plan to stay in our troupe..." She looks to Missile, silent for several moments, before she nods, "I was once a slave to The Society." She shakes her head. "I'd rather not go into detail, so I will retell the condensed version. My father was royalty, but cast me into servitude, and because of my looks, I became a servant to 'please' nobility.
[22:05] <Harmony> "When I had the chance, I killed both my father and the noble that I was with." She scowls. "I had thought it would be a non-issue, that they would leave me be... but that was foolish. I now have a 12,000 cap bounty on my head, and the griffons hired to reclaim me nearly killed Mister Kay." She stamps her hoof angrily. "I will -not- let it happen again."
[22:05] * Harmony leans down, hugging Proverb tightly. "As I have said before, I will solve this... and if all other solutions lead my friends to harm, I will simply turn myself in."
[22:08] <Green_Field> "Oh, ok. When you think the attached thought, it casts the waiting spell. I can see how it would take some getting uesed to, not thinking the thought before you're ready to cast the spell."
[22:09] * Missile_Rush listens carefully to Harmony's words hangng on to every word. The only reaction he makes is at her mention of becoming a "servant", as his face seems to become more...sober? It's hard to tell exactly what, but that particular bit seems to speak to him. "Is there no alternative?"
[22:09] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter hodls Razor close for a little while. "So, how long are you staying? You should really come here more often, and not just to see me. You have your reputation as a Reaper to consider now too."
[22:10] * Razor nods. "I don't know. I don't think long. But once I'm done, I'll come back."
[22:11] * Harmony shrugs. "I know the initials of whom placed the bounty on my head. My only idea is that removing the guarantor will remove the bounty."
[22:12] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nods, "Alright. Don't die, and give those snobby bastards what's coming."
[22:12] * Proverb nods.
[22:13] * Missile_Rush sits up, facing Harmony. "And what, exactly, where these initials?"
[22:13] * Logic nods. "And then keeping it consistently in the back of your mind without being distracted."
[22:13] <Harmony> "S.L. and G.G."
[22:14] * Green_Field turns to Harmony. "You think that killing two of them caused them to want you dead, but that killing more will cause them to turn a blind eye?"
[22:15] * Razor grins. "Don't worry. I'll be alright. And they won't even know what hit 'em!"
[22:16] * Proverb hisses at the mention of 'Enclave'
[22:16] * Rime "No fucking idea! We'll ghost the fuckers."
[22:17] * Harmony frowns, answering Green_Field, "I don't know. I was only a servant... I don't... know." She sighs at Green_Field. "I have no other ideas besides trying to convince them otherwise or turn myself in. If you have a better idea..."
[22:18] * Missile_Rush crosses his forelegs, closing his eyes. "And if I did? What would you do?"
[22:18] * Green_Field thinks a moment. "Do they want you alive or dead?"
[22:20] * Harmony quirks her head at Missile_Rush. "If you had a better idea?" She looks over to Green. "They want me brought to them alive...  I am not sure if they want me kept alive after that."
[22:22] * Logic sits down, pulls out another textbook and keeps reading. While the world around him seemed to turn very dramatic, he needed to keep his focus razor sharp. So he read a book on the shapes of magic. And then began to wonder what experiments he could do.
[22:25] <Green_Field> "I wonder if there is a way the we could make it seem as thought you were dead. If they saw you dead and believed it, all you'd have to do from then on is not needlessly show your face around, but they wouldn't persue you anymore."
[22:26] * Missile_Rush hms. He faces Harmony, focusing his crimson eyes on hers. "Tell me. Does the Society take kindly to visitors?"
[22:26] * Harmony shrugs. "If you have enough caps, otherwise no."
[22:27] * Rime leans against the bacof Razor's neck. "We should make sure they aren't using your room for storage before we go, when we do."
[22:27] * Harmony raises an eyebrow at Green_Field. "I imagine they would demand proof."
[22:28] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy is still present!
[22:28] * Logic flipped a page. "Huh. I could probably rip his memories of you right out of his head. On top of other things." Flip the page.
[22:29] * Proverb looks at Harmony. "Well... if you disintigrate something with a MEW there's nothing left..."
[22:29] <Green_Field> "Exactly. If they saw you dead, like actually noticibly dead not just blown up or something."
[22:30] * Harmony humms. "Perhaps..."
[22:31] * Missile_Rush frowns at Green_Field's idea, as he ponders. "What I'd like to know is who exactly this 'S.L. and G.G.' are. Who would know them, barring the Society themselves? What of the mercs who they hired?"
[22:31] * Proverb frowns at Missile_Rush. "Why does it concern you so much?"
[22:31] * Harmony shakes her head. "I would agree... I would like to find out who, before we finalize a plan."
[22:34] * Missile_Rush turns to Proverb. "Because this gives me a chance to prevent the same mistake I made last time." He turns to Proverb, his eyes boring into hers, not a trace of kindness in his face. His voice is quiet and calm, but carries the undertones of a deep-seated anger.  "Know this. I once knew somepony who was a 'servant' the same way your marefriend was. And then she died because I wasn't fast enough. If you thin
[22:35] <Missile_Rush> I'm going to let myself make the same mistake, and let an innocent mare suffer because of /my/ shortcomings, you are gravely mistaken."
[22:38] * Harmony smiles. "And I thank you, truly... it is surprising to see such kindness in the wastes."
[22:39] * Proverb nods curtly to Missile_Rush, nuzzling Harmony.
[22:40] * Razor smirks at Rime. "I think you just want to use my bed."
[22:40] * Missile_Rush turns to Harmony, with the same expression. His face is anything but kind. "Do not make the mistake of thinking this is for your benefit."
[22:41] * Rime smirks. "Maybe." There totally isn't anything implied there... nothing at all... She isn't attracted to Razor now that she isn't a filly anymore.
[22:42] * Green_Field just kinda stares at Missile_Rush. "Then who's benefit is it for? If you don't care about her then why does losing her matter to you?"
[22:42] * Harmony shrugs. "I can be thankful nonetheless."
[22:44] * Missile_Rush turns to Green_Field. "Isn't it obvious? I'm doing this for myself. So that I can sleep a little better at night knowing I didn't make the same mistake again. Is that such a foreign concept to you?"
[22:47] <Green_Field> "Then it's for her benefit. If she doen't get benefit then you don't feel better. You should try to understand your own motivations before you start judging others for wondering about them."
[22:49] * Missile_Rush turns to Green_Field. "You clearly haven't been where I've been. Who are you to tell me what my own motivations are?"
[22:49] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter hugs Razor once more. "I should let you go." She looks to Rime again, "Not a word, don't forget."
[22:50] * Rime throws Smelter a salute. "You know it, X." She flashes a happy smile.
[22:51] <Green_Field> "A pony that can think through simple concepts in his head."
[22:52] * Razor gives her mom another hug. "Stay safe. I'll be back before you know it!"
[22:55] <TenMihara|GM> Smelter nods, "I'm probably safer than you are," she teases.
[22:58] * Rime "I'll keep her safe." She puffs a final smokering. She'll have to ditch the last of her smoke in the hall, it's almost burned back to her lips.
[22:59] * Missile_Rush looks to Green_Field. "Perhaps, but you have nothing to work with. Can you bake a cake without flour? Or fire a gun without bullets? You know /nothing/ of me. So don't presume that you pretend to know my thoughts."
[23:00] <Missile_Rush> *So don't presume that you can understand my thoughts."
[23:03] * Green_Field smiles again, amused. "I'm not trying to, I'm trying to figure out if you do."
