<uSeaGM> **Group 4 Session 41**
* Artifica (Mibbit@Pony-3vs.aq9.178.76.IP) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* ChanServ gives channel operator status to Artifica
* Berry gives voice to Milia
* Berry gives voice to Spectre
* Berry gives voice to Watch_Tower
* Berry gives voice to AtomBell
<uSeaGM> With your goodbyes said, Rarity and Sweetie Belle wave as the elevator doors close and you begin to ascend. Some plans have been made between yourselves and the robot sisters. Rarity has promised to send the Big Brother bots to help the local ponies defend themselves against the approaching slaver army and, after some internal deliberation, Spike has decided to make the trip himself. Visiting an old friend in person is a very welcome
<uSeaGM>  bonus.
<uSeaGM> Outside the sky is virtually overcast, forcing the morning sun to try and sneak through any gap it can find. The dull grey curtain reminds you of the time before Sunshine and Rainbows, but even the few golden cracks in the cloud layer show how far Equestria has come. The air is crisp and cold, enough so that you can see your own breath steaming in front of you. Luckily your fancy new cloaks keep out the worst of the chills.
<uSeaGM> Acolyte, still at his chosen post, nods to you as you step out the door. “I wish thee luck, pilgrims, and beseech thee to take care.” The steel sentinel looks up at the dark sky. “Hark! Without Celestia's kiss the stench of necromancy still pervades this town, like it were pumped through the streets by some dreadful heart.” He bows. “Pray do not tarry.”
* Berry stares at acolyte for a looong moment, then frowns "you talk weird"
* Watch_Tower nods. "We shan't."
* Artifica_ woke with a spring in her step -- quite likely due to who she woke up next to -- but the thrill was overcome shortly after by a damper spirit.  Before stepping into the elevator, she profusely complimented and thanked Rarity for the beautiful cape, then asked for a word in private with Spike.
* Berry is still trying to have her cape fall properly on her insanely fluffy fur, it's harder than it seems
<uSeaGM> Spike was more than happy to have that talk before they left.
* Artifica_ pulled the sprite bot aside and, once alone, spoke to him with a heavy heart.  "Spike, you can get in touch with Littlepip, right?  I need you to tell her something for me.  Please..."
* AtomBell somehow feels more comfortable beneath the cold grey skies, away from the interloping sun, then she ever felt with it shining above.  Her own cloak is tucked safely away between medical supplies, safe from the elements, as they leave the bunker.
* Artifica_ shuffles slightly then dips her head.  "Tell her I'm sorry."
* AtomBell straightens Silent's though.
<uSeaGM> Spike promised that he would. Then asked if it was for anything specific.
* Artifica_ nods.  "For shooting at her.  And her friends... and those children."  She looks away.  "I know she understands but... but I have to say it."
* Artifica_ whimpers.  "I'm so sorry."
* Artifica_ turns to go, fastening her cloak over her Friendship City security armor.
* Milia was ready to get going; her determination had been rekindled, both by their pleasant visit with Rarity and Sweetie Belle, and by her reciprocated affection toward a certain unicorn mare. The zebra gives a mock salute to Acolyte as they pass, reciting some sort of limerick and indulging the robot in his archaic tone:
<Milia> "White is sick and gray is fled / And now for crimson slaver's heads / We'll send them over, dripping red / To Red Beak and his ponies!"
<Watch_Tower> "RED!"
* Milia shakes her head. "Eh...not perfect...close enough."
* Milia snorts.
* Watch_Tower grins. "Feels like I forgot to do that for some reason."
* Watch_Tower had had a more private talk with Spike and planned on keeping a look out in the wastes.
* Artifica_ joins Milia, looking a little down.  She nuzzles the zebra and manages to smile.  That day would get better, yes.
* AtomBell fusses a little, trying to straighten up Berry's cloak too, "Hold still Cerberus, let me fix your cape."
* Milia nuzzles Artifica back, a wide smile beaming onto her face. She gives the unicorn a loving kiss on the muzzle. "...Y'okay, Arti?..."
* Berry "i tell you it's impossible!"
* Berry struggles with atom to win over the cape and ends with it tied to her tail, not happy at all
* Artifica_ nods somberly.  "Getting better every minute."  She glances back, then admits, "Had to get something really heavy off my breast.  But it's done."
* AtomBell pats the filly on the head, "Hold still for a minute and I'll fix it."
<AtomBell> "Struggling only makes it worse."
* Milia chuckles warmly. "Good to hear. Nothing worse than feeling like something's weighing your spirits down; It's easy not to notice just how much of a toll it takes on you."
* Berry whines and pouts while atom works on her dresses, like little fillies should always do "are you done yet? and nao? and nao?"
* AtomBell considers pinning the foal briefly.  She gives the cape a final brush with a wing to remove some trace of dust and nods, "Now."
* AtomBell waits for it to all be promptly undone.
* Berry sighs "free! i'm finally free! ah... thank you atom!" trots away going to sniff something in a corner
* Watch_Tower chuckles at the adorable scene.
* AtomBell works out a kink in her leg, watching out a corner of her eye to make sure Berry doesn't try to eat anything as she returns to Spectre's side
* Berry doesn't really nom everything she finds, but the filly sniffs and licks a lot of stuff
* Berry and wags her tail a lot
* Spectre nuzzles Atom as she trots back over
* AtomBell nuzzles back!  There's plenty of competition in happiest couple in their circle of friends now, so they have to redouble their efforts to be adorable.
* Milia offers a sympathetic look to Artifica. "Oh, and...if you ever need to talk about anything - anything at all...I'm here for you, okay? I care about you a lot, and Goddess knows you've been there for me. Nopony deserves to have to suffer in silence."
<Spectre> "That's what friends are for in general~"
<Spectre> "Double so for couples~"
* Berry keeps an eye for the surroundings as the group moves
* Milia suppresses a small, giddy shudder. 'Couples'
<uSeaGM> Despite Acolyte's warning the streets are empty and quiet and the group makes good time towards the next bastion of civilization.
* Berry trys to find nommy grass on the way
* Watch_Tower sighs at that, and keeps on traveling keeping a look out.
* Artifica_ smiles and hugs Milia.
* AtomBell rests her head against Silent as they walk, and seconds her statement, "We're all friends here, and we only want to help if we can."
* AtomBell puts a wing around Watch_Tower too if he's close enough
* Artifica_ looks about.  "Ever wonder if there is something more to the number of ghouls here than just general wasteland badness?"
<uSeaGM> Milia's garden-poaching finds nothing but Berry stumbles on a tastey herb snack.
* Berry comes back chewing something with all the roots in it
* Milia returns the hug, happily. Her thoughts turn to their surroundings as Artifica speaks up, though, and her attempt to keep an eye out for herbs is thoroughly fruitless. "I did think it was a bit odd..."
<AtomBell> "Well, could it just be because the town didn't evacuate in time?"
* Berry "or they used a different bomb on this place, something making less fire and more radiation... go figure"
* Milia stares at Berry, disbelieving. "Wh-where'd you even find that?!"
* Milia pouts. "I'm being out-zebrad by a hellhound-turned filly..."
* Watch_Tower probably needed the hug. He smiles a bit. "It would not surprise me.Then again back home. There were tunnels under the mall that were absolutely filled with ghouls...and a genuine vampony if my uncle is to be believed."
<Spectre> "Hellhounds are good at sniffing out plants. And pissing on them."
<Spectre> "And eating them apparently
* Berry points a hoofie in a rtandom direction "it was all green and tasty..."
* Milia sticks her tongue out in disgust. "Blech, hopefully not in that order."
* Artifica_ watches Milia give passing gardens a close inspection.  "Perhaps, but I'm sure you can find more garden gnomes than Cerberus."
<AtomBell> "There there Milia, we'll be doing a lot of walking anyway.  Plenty of chances to find... helpful herbs."
* Berry "meh, i don't pee on my lunch! it would be gross...."
<Watch_Tower> "Well I dunno how much it'll help, but I'll keep a look out for them too."
<Watch_Tower> "I could even use a neat spell so you can see what I see so you can tell me if I'm over looking any."
* Milia laughs at Artifica's comment. "Oh sure, you need creepy-ass lawn decorations? I'm your mare. I can even tell you their names." The zebra thrusts a hoof outward toward the nearest gnome. "That one's name is David."
* Berry i'm stuffed, so i'll do useful stuff, like, keeping an eye for raiders an stuff
* Shady_Steps (chatzilla@Pony-nsfvhg.bb.sky.com) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP ("")
* AtomBell does her usual thing of calculating how much of her medical supply reserves they've depleted and any or all changes to the softness of Spectre's coat.
* AtomBell finds softness up 30% after all that bathing and jacuzzing
* Spectre has a meshweave cloak on. That's probably altering the softness of her coat.
<uSeaGM> You reach the walled-off hoof-full of buildings the locals call 'New Hope' where a small crowd has gathered to watch a swarm of BugBots, who are now cleaning up the mess they had made earlier. Most ponies there simply scratch their heads in puzzlement.
* Spectre grins "No need to thank us~"
* Spectre doesn't exactly say that loudly. probably only her friends can hear her
* Artifica_ waves a paw.  "Hello, David."
* Milia giggles.
* Milia raises an eyebrow, now turning her attention to the scene. "And so ends another confusing chapter in New Hope's long and...friggin' weird history..."
<AtomBell> "Aye.  At least we didn't make it worse."
* Milia taps a hoof to her chin, trying to come up with a name for it. "'The Invasion of the Bugbots?'...'Paint the Town Red?'
<Spectre> "Partially caused by us."
* Berry "it was fun when they chased the robots."
* Milia shakes her head. "Ah, I'll think of somethin'..."
* Berry "call it stoopid ponies have stoopid problems"
* Watch_Tower giggles. "RED"
* Milia snorts. "I like it, Cerberus."
<Spectre> "I'm going to smack the next pony who says that."
<Milia> "Who says what?"
<Spectre> The colour."
<Watch_Tower> "Red?"
* Milia paws at the ground, defeated. "Damn...I was hoping that would work..."
* Berry trots towards the most bleh merchant of the town, shows her whole 4 caps and says "hi, i want a toy please?"
<uSeaGM> A random townspony walks by. "I kinda liked the red."
* Watch_Tower briefly trollfaces.
<Watch_Tower> "RED!"
* Spectre backhoofs Watch_Tower across the jaw
* Watch_Tower was totally ready for it
* Milia titters mischeviously at Watch Tower.
* Hoard is now known as KashinGM
* AtomBell rolls her eyes
* Artifica_ joins AtomBell in that.
* AtomBell mumbles to Artifica_, "Better to get used to it now..."
* Milia is the most mature.
* Berry puts also a plank with a nail in it on the counter "i can barter too! i'm good at this! see? this is a plank, and has a nail in it! it's awesome!"
* Watch_Tower is totally mature, but he knows when to have some fun.
<uSeaGM> Capsworth, the local trader, eyes Berry up and down. His normally stern expression softens a bit. "Alright kid, what would you like? I got toy cars (with 4 wheels!), teddy bears that have even been washed..." He watches Berry add her nailboard. "Well now I can see we have a connoisseur! How about something a bit more special. Do you like going fast, kid?"
* Berry "sure i do! fast is better!"
<uSeaGM> "How about red. Do you like red?"
* Berry giggles "my friends like it a lot.... long story. yes, red is best color if you ask me"
* Watch_Tower giggles and looks to Spectre.
* Spectre wraps a let around Watch and gives him a rough hug
* AtomBell has studiously compared her available funds with what she would like to add to her inventory and concludes that drugs are out of her reach.
<Spectre> leg*
* Milia could, on the other hoof, afford drugs, though she's staying as far away as she can from Dash inhalers from now on. There is a slight, ever present tinge of compulsion in the back of the zebra's mind, though...
* AtomBell ponders....
<AtomBell> "Hey, Milia, how much do you think one of these would sell for?" she pulls the Magic Energy Pistol from her bag to show the zebra/
<uSeaGM> Capsworth smiles. "Then you're in luck because we got this in yesterday!" He pops into a a doorway behind him and comes out with a red scooter. It could use a wash but it looks in one piece. "What do you think? I was going to fix it up to make some caps but I think that you'd enjoy it more."
* Milia eyes the pistol. "Hmm...want me to see?"
<AtomBell> "Might as well.  The other one looks shinier, and I could use some medical supplies."
* Watch_Tower smiles and sits back. He was pretty much broke and after accepting the rough hug he just waits outside the store.
* Milia salutes, energetically. "You got it, Doc!"
* Spectre starts pulling junk out of her bags and piling it up on Capsworth's counter. It's 6 random items ranging from scrap metal to pilot lights
* Milia takes the pistol and waits her turn in line. She's only slightly (see: totally) jealous of Cerberus' scooter she's getting.
* Berry berry's eyes grow as large as soub bowls "i take it please please please!"
* AtomBell stands with Watch_Tower; she's pretty sure her voice gives Capsworthy palputations
<uSeaGM> "You got yourself a deal." He swipes the caps and the board first (the habit of a lifetime) then puts the Red Racer Scooter down for Berry. "You have fun kid."
* Berry the foal gasps and then hugs her new superfast ride
* Spectre grins at Capsworth
* Berry and as soon as she is out of the shop, the filly is already zooming around on it
* Milia nearly gets barreled into by the filly zooming out of the store. "Gahkk-!"
* Milia falls onto her haunches. "...so cool..." she could be heard muttering.
* AtomBell is forced to take to the air with sqwaking and flapping of wings
* Pantzar_ (Pantzar@Pony-kclccu.cust.bahnhof.se) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Berry out of my way! beep beep i'm a jeep!
* Spectre was already out of the way
* AtomBell settles back to the pavement, flustered and trying to stop her wings from twitching
* Milia shakes her head, rising to all fours and taking care of business. Laser business.
* Watch_Tower would totally fail to get out the way and now has stripes of his own in the form of tire marks
* Artifica_ stares at Berry's new ride.  "Wow!  That looks fast!"
<uSeaGM> Noticing other customers in line, Capsworth looks embarrassed and tries to act grumpy again. It doesn't really work.
* Berry has at least the common sense of not going too far, but it doesnt' change the fact she is running all around
* Pantzar has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
* Spectre gives the stallion a knowing wink
* Milia has the biggest manure-eating grin on her face. "Nope. Not gonna work, buddy."
* Pantzar_ is now known as Pantzar
* Spectre isn't exactly in line. She's just got a bunch of random shit piled up on the counter
<uSeaGM> "Okay, which of you is first?"
* Artifica_ cast about.  Who is their best barter pony?
* Spectre shrugs and looks at Milia
* AtomBell keeps her eyes on Berry
* Milia slaps the energy down on the counter. "Yo!"
<Milia> ((energy weapon*))
* Artifica_ whispers to Milia, "See if he has any weapon and/or armor repair kits."
* Artifica_ adds, "And a grooming kit.  I have a special somezebra to look good for."
* Berry tries ignoring laws of physics and common sense and ends with some nasty bruises and teary eyes
<uSeaGM> Capsworth looks over the pistol. "I'll give you 38 caps for it."
* Milia giggles, nuzzling Artifica. "Like you need one to look great. Will do, though!"
* Milia nods at the trader. "Deal. Atom? Come get ye plunder."
* Berry as soon as the worst part of the owies goes away, the foal is again up and racing.... yes, there will be a very tired and sleepy filly to carry around for the rest of the trip in a few minutes
* AtomBell tells Watch_Tower, "Keep an eye on her."
* AtomBell goes to sweep up her caps.
* Milia grins at Capsworth. "Aaaaaand...kits?"
* Berry slows down, with short breath, then stops completely and sits on the scooter, completely exhausted
* AtomBell grabs her monies
<uSeaGM> "Kits? Well let's see here... I can make up a couple of weapon kits and one for patching up barding."
<AtomBell> "Thank you Milia~"
* Spectre just assumes she gets like 3 caps
* Watch_Tower was obediently keeping an eye on Berry this time ready to catch her if she should take a nasty fall.
* Milia widens her grin. "...throw in one for prettying up mares?"
* Berry trot next to watch tower and sits there "woah, that thing sure is fun..."
<Spectre> Weee~
<Spectre> 11 caps
<Spectre> I'm rich
<Spectre> (Shit!)
<Milia> ((tee hee))
* Berry after saying that, the filly falls asleep on the vampony's side
* AtomBell nuzzles Spec and steps aside
<uSeaGM> He looks a little blank. "Err we don't really have any of those in stock... how about a comb and some local made soap?"
<Milia> "Thbbbbt...you know what, sure.  That'll work."
* Watch_Tower grins laughing a bit. and gives Berry a pat on the head before floating her onto his back along with the scooter assuming it could be folded up.
* Berry curls up when sleeping, transforming into a puce fluffy pillow
* Artifica sighs and rolls her eyes a little.  This is what you get leaving the big city.  (Granted, not like there is a big city to go back to.)
* Milia shrugs, offering an apologetic look to her marefriend. "Next town, maybe."
<uSeaGM> "Letssee... 2 weapon kits, 1 for barding and the soap and comb... you can have all that for 81 caps."
* Spectre leans against AtomBell and waits for everypony to get done
* Artifica nods, but feels skeptical.  "Rarity would never make it out here."
* AtomBell uses SEXY WING on SEXY MARE
* Watch_Tower now has a comfy on his back. This is acceptable.
* Milia giggles at the comment. "The true wasteland starts here." She plops down the caps from a jingling sack in her saddlebags.
* Milia hoofs over the kits to Artifica. Or, mouths them over. "'ere oo 'o!"
* Watch_Tower finds himself transfixed on Atom. Stupid Sexy Mare :P
<uSeaGM> All around town heads turn towards AtomBell... very sexy indeed.
* AtomBell is critically sexy, with dat scuffed barding and dose artificially bulky flanks
* Milia waves to Capsworth and turns to leave, doing a momentary double-take when she spots Atom Bell. She manages to snap her gaze away before lingering too long, thankfully!
<uSeaGM> You hear, as if it was wafting on a breeze, a voice saying: "Dem wings..."
* Spectre gets a nosebleed
* Berry is sleeping, but in the sleep mutters "wearing nothing at all... stupid sexy atom..."
* Spectre tries to stifle it with a hoof
* AtomBell gasps, "Silent!  Your nose!"
<AtomBell> "Let me get you a bandage!"
<Spectre> "Fank yo. Dat woul help."
* AtomBell rumages in her bag for some gauze, "Don't tip your head back.  Here."
* AtomBell she snips off two squares of bandage and sticks them in Spectre's nostrils
* Spectre tips her head back "Wha?"
* Spectre gets bandages stuff in her nose
<Spectre> "Gah!"
* AtomBell tips it back forward
* Artifica smiles, packing the kits.  "These will no doubt be very useful."
* Milia smiles happily at Artifica. "Now, to get paid! Again!" she exclaims. "...Did somepony kick Spectre in the face?..." she mutters idly.
* AtomBell kisses her muzzle better.
<Spectre> "I looked at Atom's plot."
* Spectre wiggles at Atom kisses
* AtomBell blushes, "S-Silent."
<AtomBell> "Yes, let's get to doing that whole getting paid for you all getting nearly murdered thing."
* Milia chuckles at the exchange, heading out to begin the trip to do just that.
* Spectre follows Milia with pieces of bandages sticking out of her nostrils making her breath out of her mouth
* Spectre nudges AtomBell with her flank as she starts off
* AtomBell still blushing, nudges back, "Let me know when the bleeding stops."
<uSeaGM> The party has an uneventful journey along the roads, the cloud cover becoming sparser and more broken as you head farther south east. Some ponies working on nearby farms wave at you as you pass. You recognize several of them as ponies you had helped to free, already looking happier and healthier.
* Artifica waves back and gives smiles.
* Spectre waves back, grinning as she recognizes ponies
* AtomBell resists the urge to administer checkups
* Milia returns the waves as well, feeling a warm, fuzzy feeling. "...hah...holy crap...it's easy to forget stuff has lasting consequences, huh?"
* Watch_Tower doesn't really recognize any of them so doesn't wave.
<Milia> "Good ones, in this case.
<Milia> "
<AtomBell> "Ayup.  Staying in one area tends to do that."
<uSeaGM> It doesn't take too long for you to reach the Crossroads. Even without a farmer's market today, the small collection of huts built around an old roadside service station is bustling with activity. A caravan of a dozen carts and wagons is preparing to leave. Several of the guards are ex-slaves wishing to head back into mainland Equestria. A few look uneasy at having the weapons of their former masters slung across their backs but it's
<uSeaGM>  better than going empty hooved.
<uSeaGM> The smell wafting from the service station reminds our party that this place has a working bakery.
* Spectre drools a little
* Berry wakes up istantly "muffins!"
* Milia bites her lower lip, smelling the smell. "HNGGGGGG...BERIGHTBACKGETTINGUSCUPCAKESANDMUFFINS." The zebra zooms off to do just that.
* Watch_Tower mumbles. "This isn't the Crossroads I grew up in."
* Artifica chases after with barely a moment's hesitation.
* Watch_Tower follows after the streaking zebra
* AtomBell holds out a leg, then sighs, "Do you want something too Spec?"
* Spectre wipes her mouth and nods
* AtomBell hoofs over a few caps with a smile, "Could you get me a cupcake?"
* Spectre takes the caps and scampers off
<uSeaGM> Mrs. Baker (also known as Cinnamon Swirl) welcomes the familiar faces and their friends with open hooves.
* AtomBell hangs back
* AtomBell just takes in the scenery
* Berry checks her bags with a smile ready to get the munny for her muffin and- "oh..." she used the money for the toy...
* Milia loudly proclaims her intent. "I WILL THROW SOMEPONY DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS FOR MUFFINS. ER, WAIT, NO THAT SOUNDED BAD!" She shakes her head, blushing furiously, shooting a pleading look at Mrs. Baker. "Please sell us baked goods nice magic pony lady. Our group needs sweets. Badly."
<uSeaGM> "Welcome back dearies! I heard all about how you saved all those ponies from the nasty slavers and gave the ruffians a heave-ho!"
* Watch_Tower really needed to pay attention to local stories he didn't know he was traveling with heroes
<Spectre> "Yep~"
* Artifica draws up, panting.  "In... deed.."
* Milia ruffles her mane with a hoof. "Aww, it was nothin'..."
* Watch_Tower does take a look around this Crossroads mentally comparing it to his home despite himself
* Milia giggles, nuzzling Artifica. "Oops, sorry Art, I kinda got carried away."
* Berry no munny is no muffins and no muffins means... well... no muffins... and yes, that's terrible, like that time when the goddess ran away with 40 cakes. and that was already terrible!
<uSeaGM> On the other side of the see-through counter are dozens of freshly baked cupcakes and muffins. "Pick out any that you like."
* incog (stillfree@incog) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Milia looks to the rest of her group. "Ummm..any preferences?"
<Milia> "Besides 'sugar filled'?"
* Spectre browses through cupcakes with her face (Presumably) pressed up against the glass displays
<Watch_Tower> "I'll take a carrot muffin if they've got them."
* incog has quit (Z-Lined: incog)
* Berry "ah... i can have one too?"
<uSeaGM> She places a frosted pink cupcake in front of the hungry-looking Berry. "Here you go deary, it's on the house."
* Berry the question was addressed at milia
* Berry takes a lon look at the free cupcake, then smile "yay! thanks!"
* incog (stillfree@Pony-drn.fj5.248.5.IP) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* incog has quit (Z-Lined: incog)
* Milia grins at Cerberus. "Don't worry, I'm getting enough for everyp-" she's cut off by free cupcake action. She giggles and mutters something about "...weaponized adorability..."
* Spectre stands up and looks at Mrs. Baker "Uhhh, Half a dozen assorted cupcakes?"
* Spectre looks at Milia "You can't. Have. Enough. Cupcakes."
* incog (stillfree@Pony-t4fdvf.volia.net) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP

* incog (stillfree@Pony-qaffta.customer.medialine.cz) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* incog has quit (Z-Lined: incog)
* Milia raises a hoof. "Two dozen for me because WOW I love cupcakes! Actually, uh, make it a dozen of each."
* Milia nods at Spectre, her face turning deadly serious. "EVER." She adds.
<uSeaGM> "Coming right up!" A few moments later a box of six cupcakes is ready in front of Spectre.
* Berry noms her cupcake trying not to chocke herself like the last time
* Spectre deposits caps onto the counter "I could kiss you, but I think cupcake kisses with my marefriend would be beeettteeeerrrrr~"
* Spectre takes the box and scampers away like a bullet
* Errant (Hedge@Pony-pv2.fnu.205.166.IP) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
<uSeaGM> This is shortly followed by the 4 boxes that make up Milia's order. "My, we are ever so popular today!"
* Errant (Hedge@Pony-pv2.fnu.205.166.IP) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Milia chuckles. "Don't give me ideas now..." she mutters.
* Spectre nearly full on tackles AtomBell in her haste to get back with delicious treats
* AtomBell is outside staring at the sky like a dope when she gets Spectre'd
<AtomBell> "Ahhhhhh!"
<Spectre> "I has cupcakes~"
* Artifica grins.
* Milia beams a wide smile at Mrs. Baker. "Cupcake parties play an important role in heroics, I will have you know." She heaves all four boxes onto her back, trotting over to Artifica happily.
* Artifica asks the baker, "how much do we owe you for these delights?"
* Spectre floats two cupcakes out of the box and offers one to AtomBell
* AtomBell bites Spec's ear before taking the cupcake.
<AtomBell> "Mmf~"
* incog (stillfree@Pony-dhs.ln5.76.66.IP) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* incog has quit (Z-Lined: incog)
* Berry keeps nomming until there is no more cupcake in her hoofies... well, that was good. back to sleep now! the foal jumps back on watch tower's back
* Artifica giggles to Milia.  "Keep it up, and I might have to start calling you my cupcake."
<uSeaGM> Mrs. Baker smiles. "Don't worry deary, your striped friend has already paid."
* AtomBell takes a bite out of two sweet things.  Ha ha!
* Artifica smiles to Mrs. Baker.  "You are amazing."
* Milia nearly squees, nuzzling Artifica. "Oh ho, WILL you now? I think I might be able to get used to that..."
* Spectre shudders happily as Atom and the cupcake
* Milia hoofs out cupcakes and/or muffins to everypony who doesn't have one. She waves one in front of the curled up Cerberus. "I wonder if she'll sleep eat..."
* Spectre has quit (Connection closed)
* Berry sniffs for a moment, then noms the muffin, like a fish biting the bait
* Wraith (Molestia@Pony-dg312a.mo.charter.com) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Milia yanks her hoof back, now sans muffin. "Ack! Experiment...successful."
* incog (stillfree@Pony-kr8.0ga.150.178.IP) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* incog has quit (Z-Lined: incog)
* Berry chews the muffin buk chokes! sleeping and gulping doesn't work very yay!
* Berry turns purple
* Berry gives voice to Wraith
* Wraith is now known as Spectre
* Milia laughs to herself, heading out to join Spectre and Atom Bell so they can resume their travel.
* Spectre grins at Milia "So where is this mansion anyways, Atom and I got sidetracked before we got there, so I can't exactly lead the way, and I want my caps!"
* AtomBell nuzzles~
* AtomBell nods, caps, yes, good too.
* incog (stillfree@Pony-pit.qln.25.37.IP) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* incog has quit (Z-Lined: incog)
* Spectre caps means Spectre can possibly buy pretty things to wear for Atom~
<AtomBell> "This is the pony that hired us to find the StableTec HQ right?"
* Milia nods at Spectre. "Not too far off now. The crossroads here is just a couple hours off from the mansion."
* Artifica_ floats out a delicious muffin and begins to nibble suggestively.
* AtomBell only after Atom gets something cute to where with Spectre!
<Artifica_> (cupcake, even)
* Berry coughs out the half muffin and breaths deeply "wow, that was close"
* Milia keeps glancing over to Artifica, blushing, as she tries to respond to Atom Bell. "I...yes...hire...pony..."
<Spectre> "Point the direction. And Arty stop teasing Milia for now. We've got serious business to attend to!"
* Watch_Tower just follows along because he's got no idea where they're going or anything.
* Milia shakes her head, pointing the way to go so they can keep moving. Before they do, though, she trots over to the unicorn, licking a bit of frosting off her muzzle.
* AtomBell licks the remaining side of her muffin with a raised eyebrow
<uSeaGM> It's almost midday as the party sets off again and up above the few remaining clouds hang dark and heavy in the sky. Tonight looks like rain.
<uSeaGM> About an hour along the road some of the party spot five black marks flying in formation high in the sky, headed to the east just like you are. They could be birds, or griffins, or pegasi. At this distance it's hard to tell and you only had a few moments before clouds block your view.
* Spectre unholsters her rifle and looks through the scope
* AtomBell is oblivious!
* Milia stops in her tracks, noticing Spectre's behavior. "...Something up, Spec?..."
* Spectre waves a hoof
* Milia zips her lips.
* Watch_Tower 's vision is augmented so he's easily able to see. "Definitely something."
* Berry takes out the magic rifle and uses the scope to check the flying figures
<AtomBell> "What?"
* Milia takes note of Berry whipping her gun out as well. "Just make sure if you shoot it...ground it so I can wail on it too..."
<AtomBell> "Um, in the air?"
<Spectre> "Mhmm."
<uSeaGM> Despite now peering through scopes the specs are already gone, hidden behind cloud.
* AtomBell feels very exposed and easy for a griffon to rip apart
* Spectre grumbles "Guess it doesn't matter."
<Spectre> "Lets just go."
<AtomBell> "O-Okay."
* Milia nods, immediately wary. "...yeah..."
* Berry "ah.... we bwetter move, and fast"
<AtomBell> "Let's, then."
<uSeaGM> Another hour passes with our heroes keeping their eyes peeled for anything in the sky and they are now in sight of Grey Manor, which sits on a hill in the distance. Dark clouds still dot the sky, oddly threatening, and a particularly large cloud bank squats high above the road you're travelling down, looking ready to strike down with lightening or drench to the bone. To top it all off, you feel like you're being watched.
* AtomBell feels like things just got horror holo fast
* Watch_Tower lies very ready to raise a shield should they suddenly come under attack.
<Spectre> "I say we uh. Have a race. First to the mansion wins."
* Spectre takes off
* AtomBell is left in the dust by literally everypony.  Too weak to carry all her stuff.
* Watch_Tower watches and then Teleports taking Atom with him.
<Watch_Tower> <"We win."> He uses Telepathy for the first time as well.
* AtomBell (ThePretties@Pony-66c.074.118.66.IP) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Spectre smacks Watch_Tower on the back of the head as she arrives "Don't cheat and warn me when you're going to going to be looking around in my mind. It's pretty awkward to walk around with a boner I suspect."
<Watch_Tower> "SNIPER!"
* Watch_Tower bubbles up his protective shield.
<uSeaGM> **End of Session for group 4**
