Group 4 Session 19

<uSea_a_GM> **Start of Session 19 for group 4**
<uSea_a_GM> After saving the robot sisters and enjoying their hospitality for the night, our heroes returned to the town of New Hope where they met up again with Jeeves, now they had the statues he asked for. He offered them 500 caps for the one statue as they had originally agreed, but said that they could get paid for the second statue as well if they accompanied him back to the home of his employer.
<uSea_a_GM> Jeeves takes another sip of tea. "So what do you say? I can pay you for the one statue now if you wished to spend the caps in town."
* Strobe is now known as Strobe_Away
* Milia cocks her head at Jeeves, conveniently forgetting to mention she had a statue too. No friggin' way was she parting with her chicken statue. "Get paid now or get paid later?...I'll give you three guesses to figure out my answer."
* Price_Signals smirked. "Technically, getting paid the same amount earlier meant you got paid more. From an investment standpoint at least."
* Cerberus "well i guess we can get the pay now and thn go and takl with your boss to see if he wants also the second statue..."
* Shadow is now known as Moonlight`s_Shimmer
* Cerberus "moreover, we could spend some caps while we are here..."
<Milia> "I'm with poochy!"
<uSea_a_GM> "Jolly good. Just give me the . . . Sweetie Belle one, let's say, and I'll give you the caps."
* Price_Signals nodded and tossed it over.
* Cerberus "alright then... who needs to buy what? do we have priorities?"
<uSea_a_GM> Jeeves catches the statue with his magic and sets it beside him on the table. He drops a pouch of caps in front of you. "Here you are. When you're finished shopping just meet me back here."
* Milia takes a look at her hooves. "...I could use some spikes or something on these shoes. As good as I am at beating the stuffing out of stuff, a little extra oomph might be nice."
* Price_Signals frowned. "We don't neccesarily need to use it all at once."
* Cerberus "yeah, i know, but i like shopping"
* Milia grins. "Me too, and I don't get to do it a lot. It'll be fuuuuuun, Price!"
* Price_Signals frowned again. "Actually, perhaps it might be a good idea to spend it all. Considering how bottlecaps are often found and never destroyed, they're probably highly inflationary, meaning converting them into real assets could be a good idea..."
* Milia nods eagerly at Price. "Yeah, that thing you said! That's why we should go shopping. And you'll get to see me try on different clothes and horseshoes and armor and hats and glasses and whatever else I can shove onto my body!"
<Milia> "Like I said.  Fun."  Milia nods.
* Cerberus follows the other two ponies, mostly watching what they are buying
* Price_Signals groaned and muttered to himself, unaware that he was thinking outloud. "Even when they have nothing, crass materialism reigns among the dirt ponies..."
* Price_Signals is now known as Price_Signal
* DiceArt ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Milia snerks. "When it keeps me from taking a bullet to the brain, Price, you better goddess-damn believe materialism is the name of the game!"
* Strobe_Away is now known as Strobe
* DiceArt is now known as Geldnir
* Artifica considers, then nods to Jeeves.  "I am most looking forward to meeting your employer."
* Arcane_Prereading is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
* Cerberus waits for the others to buy and see if something is left for her
* uSea_a_GM gives voice to Geldnir
* Artifica is all too aware that she recently decimated the party's funds, so she remains quite and reserved, watching as others shop.
* newbie ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
<uSea_a_GM> As our heroes busy themselves with perusing the shop's wears, a handsome, feathered silhouette appears in the doorway...
<Geldnir> "It's been awhile. Sorry I had to leave for some rather unpleasent bussiness.
<Geldnir> "
* TenMihara ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* ChanServ gives channel operator status to TenMihara
* newbie is now known as Solitair
* Milia cranes her neck back to face the gryphon. "Woah, friend of yours?" she remarks to her group.
* RainbowYoshi ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Geldnir turns his gaze to the unfamilar pony. "Yes my name is Geldnir, whom might you be?"
* Milia offers a casual salute. "Milia. Nice to meet you, Geldy. With a name like that, I'm glad I'm not a stallion." She says with a grin.
* Geldnir chuckles. "It's an old griffon name. It means All Father. Never really cared for the meaning of iot all that much though.
<Geldnir> "
* Cerberus turns towards geldnir and approaches him, sniffing the griffon "kitty cat?"
<Geldnir> "Why hello berry it has been awhile. How have you been?"
* Milia whistles. "Well, the meaning certainly sounds impressive! 'All Father'...sounds like some old, wise, badass gryphon leader. Either that or an unrepentant tail-chaser who doesn't like to use protection."
* Geldnir chuckles some more. "That's why I never cared for the meaning all that much."
* Price_Signal gave a weird expression "...and who is this?"
<TenMihara> Short Fuse snorts awake; because he had been napping. That's all. Totally
<Geldnir> "My name is Geldnir. I was one the ones to help first pull our little group together. I am a mercenary mechant. . ."
<TenMihara> Short_Fuse waves at the griffon; "Short Fuse. Demolitionist. Also, you've got a nice ass for a griffon."
* Milia scopes dat gryphon butt. "...yeah he does."
* Geldnir grins "I'll take that as a compliment."
* TenMihara is now known as Precious
<Precious> Short_Fuse nods; "As you should."
<Milia> "...co-sign."
<Geldnir> "I've actually have comeback with a job, but before that I need to know something. Have you three signed our groups founding contract?"
<Precious> Short_Fuse nods; "I think that's what this was at least."
* Scorch_Mechanic has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
<Geldnir> "Oh I don't think you quite understand to what I was refering to. What I mean to say is that to offically join our little group you have to add your name, mark what have on to the groups founding contract. It's just a small formality really."
* Milia glances back and forth. "...uh, I don't think I ever did that. Though I don't even know if I've technically joined...I just kinda tagged along because I just wanted to be able to smoke without getting yelled at by stuck up fancyponies."
<Precious> Short_Fuse shakes his head; "Nopony told me that before. Besides, I don't do contracts; my term could expire at any time."
* Milia proceeds to light a cigarette. "Oh precious nicotene...you never yell at me for anything..."
<Precious> (I got pinged by that XD)
<Milia> ((hahahaha))
<Geldnir> "I understand, but this contract is a non-binding one. As in you can void it anytime you want with no drawbacks or short commings on your own behalf. All it merely does is says that you are a part of our Group the nightwings and that you partake ofany proceeds and profits under under the groups flag."
* Cerberus was totally in the bathroom, but nao she arrives back
<Precious> Short Fuse shakes his head; "All that legal jargon is way over my head buddy. I joined up with these guuys because I thought it would provide some enjoyment, and for no other reason. Can't be tied down by obligations at my age."
<Geldnir> "As a said it doesn't obligate you to anything. It's just a foramality. Really though it's just there to ease my bird brain. Pardon the pun."
* Cerberus and notices a griffin back.... she slowly approaches the figure and sniffs him from behind, not saying a word
<Geldnir> ((As I said*))
<Precious> SHort_Fuse shakes his head; "Answer's still no. Haven't signed anything since before the war and don't intend to start now."
* Milia waits for her new shoes to be properly fit to her hooves. "G-gah! Th-that tickles!" she half-giggles-half-yells at the merchant. "...not the feeling I'd expect, getting slabs of spiked metal nailed to the bottom of my hooves..." The zebra rejoins the rest of her group and trots in place, her new horseshoes embedding in the floor and popping out with every step. *thwack thwack thwack*
<Milia> "Contract, huh?...screw it, I'll sign."
* Cerberus grabs a feather from geld and plucks it "welcome back, kitty cat..."
* Geldnir hangs head and sighs "Fair enough." and then perks his head up as he hears the zebra's answer. Quickly he pulls a roll of parchment out from his bag. "If you'd like you can take a moment to read it over before signing it. Accck! " Geldnir rounds on Berry, but upon seeing the fool instead of being angry he scoops her up in a hug.
* Cerberus licks the griffon on the beack and asks "what did they said 'bout gnash?"
<Geldnir> "Well they said since Gnash is passed that my retirement is nulled. . . I am now offiacally a Talon again. Thankfully though the higher ups are giving me some freedom to do as I'd like."
* Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
* Milia chuckles and takes a moment to d'aww at Cerberus. She then signs the parchment. The signature reads (in marvelously done mouth-calligraphy, I might add): "Milia C. Zebra: Corruptor of small fillies and hellhounds alike. Keep on truckin'. XOXO" followed by her Glyphmark
* Milia hoofs the contract back to Geldnir. "'ere ya go, hoss! Happy to be a part of the group!"
* Geldnir looks at the Milla's mark and grins. "Yes that will do nicely." setting Ceberus down he pats her on the head, and places the contract back in his bag. "Now about that job I was talking about earlier."
* Milia clops her hooves together. "Ooh, a merc contract! I feel so talon-y right now! And I'm not even part bird! OR cat!"
* Cerberus trots towards Artifica and looks at her with pleading eyes, offering her the mods for her pistol "ah.. .can you put these on, please?"
* Price_Signal snored.
* AMARDA_Sllep has quit (Client exited)
<Geldnir> "Yes this is an actually a Talon job so they pay should be fairly decent. A group of Talon mercenaries went messing near around here a few days ago. We've been contracted to find whatever remains of them, and either rescue them or report there deaths and bring in their remains for a proper griffon send off."
* Cerberus takes a look around "well, now that geld is back we finally have someone that knows what's going on in the group, but we should still move and get that other hell of caps we deserve"
* Artifica smiles pleasantly to Cerberus.  "Of course I will."  She floats the mods and pistol out of Cerberus' hooves.  "It will take just a little bit."
* Cerberus "thank you arti!" the foal licks the unicorn too, and just to be sure, she licks her battlesaddle too... tastes like weapon
<Geldnir> "Artifica have you been well? Gotten any better with firearms?"
* Milia nods at Cerberus. "Good plan." She turns back to Geldnir. "What were the circumstances surrounding their disappearances? What sort of job were they on?"
* Cerberus "but first, we go get more caps so we can buy better stuff"
* Milia begins to trot back to Jeeves as they talk.
<Geldnir> "Unknown, and classified. We'll have to figure both of those out ourselves I suppose. If I had more information I would gladly share it."
* RainbowYoshi is now known as Spero
* Spero is now known as Yoshi
* Milia groans. "Geldy, sweetie, you sure your superiors aren't really trying to kill you instead? Seems a bit silly to send you out on a rescue mission that tangled up an entire group of mercs without even telling you what in Tartarus you'd be up against. Do you at least know any of the mercs who went missing?"
* Hedge ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
<Geldnir> "If they we're trying to kill me they would have shot me on sight for breech of a prior contract."
* Hedge ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
<uSea_a_GM> Jeeves has been joined at his table by a Hellhound. Cerberus and Geldnir recognise her from their first visit to the town. She is sipping tea with her pinky extended, looking a little awkward.
* Milia shakes her head. "Touche..."
<uSea_a_GM> The hellhound waves to Cerberus. "Welcome leetle poni and friends."
<Geldnir> "Ah madam, how have you been?"
* Cerberus takes a look at the hellhound and approaches the duo, sniffing the air "uh... hello? why are you still in town? don't you have atribe?"
* Milia blinks a few times. She slowly turns her head to look at Cerberus. "...friend of yours, pooch?..."
<uSea_a_GM> "Have been good, yes. Tribe full of old dogs, too slow. Poni go fast."
<Geldnir> "And Jeeves nice to see you again as well."
* Cerberus nodnods we already met, i... don't know if we are friends, but she didn't eat me the first time... and my name is cerberus, not pooch...
* Artifica looks down at Cerberus and whispers, "Family?"
<Cerberus> ""
<Precious> Short_Fuse falls in with the group, waiting for the opportunity to blow something up to arrive. He was not a complicated buck
* Cerberus shakes her head ar Artifica and whispers "not that i know it and it's a good thing: myy family wants me dead"
<uSea_a_GM> Jeeves gives a friendly nod. "And you too Geldnir. I understood that you had been called away after that... unfortunate business."
<Milia> "Right, and she's not eating us now, either.  That's a good sign!  Oh, uh, and sorry, po-err...Cerberus."
* Strifer ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Price_Signal gave a terrible frown upon seeing the hellhound. '...what is that doing here...', he thought.
<uSea_a_GM> "Well I see that you've met-" he looks away, as if remembering something, "-Fifi the Third, Destroyer of Worlds, before?"
<Precious> Short_Fuse cozies up beside Price; "You look tense. Want a backrub?"
* DiceArt ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Geldnir has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
* DiceArt is now known as Geldnir
* Chor is now known as Chor|awaiee
* Price_Signal gave Short Fuse another strange stare. "....what."
* Milia bursts out laughing at jeeves. "Okay, now THAT is an awesome name. Fuck me, I'm jealous! Like, not even joking right now!"
<Precious> Short Fuse tilts his head; "I said you look tense. You need to relax. I offered a backrub. What's hard to understand?"
* uSea_a_GM gives voice to Geldnir
<Geldnir> "It suits her rather well. Very fetching."
<uSea_a_GM> Fifi grins. "Is good name, thank you stripey-zebra poni."
* Price_Signal choked on his spit a bit, "Uh...I'll respectfully...decline..."
* Cerberus looks at the ghoul "i'll take the rub! you give belly rubs too?"
<Geldnir> "So do want to talk bussness or is there something else Jeeves?"
* Artifica smiles and nods.  "A most excellent and becoming name."
* Milia sighs. "...I gotta come up with a good nickname like that..."
* Cerberus approaches short fuse and stares at him "i want rubs!"
<Precious> Fuse chuckles at Cerberus; "For a cute puppy like you, sure thing." He gives belly rubs
* Cerberus turns on her back and gets all the wuw
<uSea_a_GM> Jeeves nods. "Fifi here will be joining us on the trip to Earl Grey's manor. I assume you will be coming too?"
* Milia d'awws again. TOO MUCH CUTE. EVEN WITH A GHOUL INVOLVED. Her attention is drawn back to Jeeves as he speaks up again, however. "Oh, right, the bonus...Fifi there's got business with the fancypony too, huh?"
<Geldnir> "But ofcourse. Earl Grey. . . I assume he deals in tea and isn't an actual earl?"
<uSea_a_GM> Fifi sips her tea again, extending her pinkie if Jeeves looks over. "Want to meet poni who make poni drink . . . is good drink."
* Artifica nods, suspecting so but not leaving out the possibility that the name comes from the color of his mane.
<uSea_a_GM> "Quite so, Geldnir. I understand that his ancestors did quite well out of the whole thing and he has kept the knack. Even in our troubled times a good brew will warm the heart."
<Geldnir> "Indeed."
* Milia shrugs. "Fair enough! I've never been one for tea, myself...unless...can you put whiskey in that stuff? I think I need to re-evaluate my current stance on tea..."
* Cerberus belly rubs are a dangerous wepaon, in fact berry falls asleep quite soon, completely defeated by the cuddles
<Precious> Short Fuse continues rubbign Cerberus as logn as she likes. It was amusing
<Geldnir> "Whiskey in tea. . . You sure do have strange tastes for a zebra."
* Cerberus and in the sleep she wags her tail and kicks a bit wit a leg, like a dog pup
<uSea_a_GM> Jeeves gives Milia a look of horror, like she had just suggested giving cigarettes to a foal...
* Milia snerks. "I blame my upbringing. Wanna know what happens when you let a zebra foal get raised by a bunch of pony colts and fillies? You're looking at her!" Out of the corner of her eye, she spots Jeeves' abject terror, and can't help but feel a little pleased with herself.
<Geldnir> "Well there are teas that do go well with alcohol, but I don't know if whiskey's tastes would reflect well on any teas taste."
<uSea_a_GM> Shaking his head he stands up and packs away his now empty tea pot. "Shall we be off then? The journey will take most of the day but we'll get there before dark if we leave now."
<Geldnir> "Right, much better to travel in the light of day. let us away."
* Milia grins at Geldnir as they make their way out of the building. "Well, I'm open to suggestions! Both tea /and/ alcohol related!"
<Geldnir> "My personal drink of choice is Wild-P mixed with Sasparilla, and sprig of mint."
* Price_Signal nodded. "So, when are going to let Cerberus sample all of these delicious drinks?"
<Geldnir> "When she get her cutiemark. . . That is the sign of adulthood in ponies right?"
<Geldnir> ((gets*))
* Milia perks up. "Ooh, ooh! A pegasass! I love those! I've never added mint, though..."
* Milia whistles innocently. She totally didnt give the filly drinks yesterday, no sir.
<Geldnir> "It complements it rather well. You should try it some time."
* Artifica chuckles.  A pegasass?
<Milia> ((i was trying so hard to ponify 'coke' somehow, but i just couldnt do it!))
<uSea_a_GM> So our party sets off on the road out of town, alongside Jeeves and Fifi.
* Artifica nudges Milia, "Why didn't your ancestors ever learn to talk to alcohol spirits.  We totally could have reverse-engineered that, and then I would have been able to learn a Spirit of Spirits spell."
* Cerberus trots withthe others, trying to scout for ambushes, as usual
<Artifica> (( Colta~Cola? ))
* Yoshi is now known as Spero
<Milia> ((oh perfect :3 ))
<uSea_a_GM> As the hours go by, the bare, lifeless rock around them gradually gives way to stunted trees and sparse grassland.
* Geldnir chuckles while flying above keeping a watch out for any threats.
* Price_Signal also flies in the sky, but keeps his distance from the Griffin. After all, you can't trust griffins. Or so he thought.
* Artifica keeps close to Cerberus.  The little filly will protect her from raiders and monsters, and she'll protect the filly from savage mailboxes.
<Geldnir> "So Price, how did you find your way to our growing family?"
* Milia laughs as she trots, keeping an eye out for any plantlife that could be usable. "I think they did, but most of them were always blacked out drunk. And the few that weren't...well, hey, all those ancient zebra superstitions had to come from someone, right?...Ooh! MINT!" the zebra exclaims happily after she gets done picking a rather large bushel of greens.
* Cerberus the foal looks also around for herbs, and she finds some! "hey milia, look here, i think you can do stuff with these..."
* Milia sees the haul the filly is currently presenting her with. Her eyes go wide at the rather large number of red herbs in the bunch. "Holy crap, Cerberus, you sure you're not part zebra or something? Yeah...I can /definitely/ do something with these, thanks!"
* Milia gives the filly a hug, and more importantly, a snack cake!
<Precious> Short_Fuse likes cake, and begins wondering if he should take lessons from the filly/puppy
* Cerberus noms the cake and decides that now milia is best pony
* Milia is far more likely to give cakes to adorable little fwuffyfillies. Ball's in your court, Fuse.
<Precious> Short_Fuse is neither fluffy nor cute. At all
* Geldnir grins as he circles over the group.
* Price_Signal didn't particularly respond. "...business. You know. Nothing interesting."
<uSea_a_GM> The plants seeming ever more healthy as they progress, our heroes spot a tiny ramshackle settlement in the distance. "That's the Crossroads," says Jeeves. "A hoof-ful of huts around what was once a service station. Now it's a meeting place for the local farmers. They even have a small windmill, made from scrap metal." He points out the structure, its blades turning gently in the wind.
<uSea_a_GM> "We'll stop of there for a bite to eat. Hours of walking works up an appetite."
* Cerberus yawns "but i'm not sleepy at all!"
* Cerberus blinksh her eye, half asleep "no, hungry, i mean hungry... i had cake"
* Milia takes a deep breath. The air probably wasn't any cleaner here, but something about the sight of the healthy flora just put her at ease. "Seems like a nice place...and I won't say no to lunch!"
* Geldnir Geldnir lands next to jeeves. "Too true."
* Artifica smiles to Cerberus.  "Then come here, and I'll give you a nice brushing while the others eat.
* Cerberus yawns again "i'd rather take a lift... can i jump on your back?"
<Geldnir> "I wonder if they have bacon?"
* Milia looks down to Cerberus, grinning. "Hey, a bunch of farmers all coming together like this...one of them might have /fresh/ cake. Or even pie! Y'sure you're not just a /little/ hungry?
* Artifica noddles.  Okay.  Just be careful of the machine guns.
* Cerberus "ah... maybe, and i'd like to drink something fresh anyway, so... i'm fine with it"
* Price_Signal frowned. He wasn't...a fan of meat.
<uSea_a_GM> Fifi grins at the mention of bacon.
<Geldnir> "RIght I guess will found out once we get there. No use getting our hopes over imaginary bacon."
* Moonlight`s_Shimmer is now known as Shadow
<Precious> Short_Fuse also likes bacon. It was tasty
* Milia was totally grossed out by bacon.
* Cerberus thinks about it "i'd not hate some bacon, but it must be well rasted"
<Cerberus> *roasted
* Geldnir starts toward the settlement. "I'd eat it raw, but then again my stomache is made for meat. I'm to sure about ponies, and zebra's though."
<Milia> "...I'll pass on meat.  Hurrrgh..."
<Price_Signal> "...seconded."
* Courage is now known as Mirage
* Cerberus "i tried eating raw meat and all i got was diarrhea... so, raw is a no-no..."
<uSea_a_GM> The hamlet itself is busy for its size, many market stalls are at the road side and most of the customers look like other farmers, trading their goods for the stall's goods. "Oh what luck, it's market day!" Jeeves smiles happily.
* Milia winces. "And just when I thought it couldn't get any less appetizing! Thank you, Cerberus."
* Artifica shakes her head.  "I'm a cake-itarian."
<Geldnir> "Oh excelent maybe there is a bacon stall after all. . . I'll be right back."
* Milia chuckles. "Ditto, Art."
* Geldnir starts wondering around the market place looking at all the different stalls.
<Precious> Short Fuse follows Geld in search of bacon
* Milia tries to find pie and/or cake. None of this pre war stuff. I'm talking FRESH cake and/or pie.
* Cerberus despite her tough talk aboout meat, the foal stays with the ponies, wanting to eat what they eat
* TicTac ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
<uSea_a_GM> One of the stall-owners points Milia towards the service station. "You want to go see the Bakers, their kitchen is in there. They do fresh bread and sometimes even pies and cakes when they have the ingredients!"
* Cerberus imemdiately looks at the stall owner "cake!? i like cake!"
* Milia looks at the stall owner, wide eyed. "Yes. YES. I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!" She gives said stall owner a big kiss on the lips before charging off towards Cakeland.
<uSea_a_GM> Inside, the service station is mostly now one big room filled with tables and chairs. On one side is a bar doing slow business at this time of day, at the other side is the remains of a fast-food outlet converted into a bakery. Delicious smells waft from within.
* Milia wishes she was a pegasus right now, or at least had a flight talisman. She would totally be hovering slightly off the ground right now and making it seem like the baked goods were drawing her near with their delicious aromas.
* Precious is now known as SHort_Fuse
* SHort_Fuse is now known as Short_Fuse
<Milia> "Do you smell it, Cerberus...this is the smell...the smell...of ELYSIUM." she trots over to the bakery.
* Artifica lingers long enough to catch the stall-owner's expression in Milia's wake, then follows after her, breathing in the aromas of bread!  Wonderful, freshly-baked bread!
* Milia turns to Artifica. "...please tell me we still have caps."
<uSea_a_GM> A fairly plump mare stops mixing something and trots up to the counter. "Well hello dearies," she says with a smile. "I'm Mrs Baker. How can I help you today?"
* Cerberus "i have some..." looks in her bags and finds a dozen of caps
* Chor|awaiee is now known as Chor
* Milia nods at Cerberus. "I've got a few on me, too...hopefully we won't have to dig into the stash for this one..." she spins around to address the baker. "Two part question! First; Cake: do you have any? And second; if so, how much?"
* Short_Fuse stops to enjoy the smell of fresh bread. It smelled good, but not as good as bacon cooking
* wolf5000 ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Artifica frowns.  "I have bullets?" she offers.
* Geldnir wanders back to the rest of the group munching on some jerky.
<uSea_a_GM> Mrs Baker continues to smile. "Oh yes, we make fresh cake for market day! For you, cupcakes are 2 caps each since the wee one there reminds me of Flour when she was younger."
* Cerberus "i want three!"
* Geldnir finishes of his jerky. "Ooh cake that sounds good too."
* Milia beams the biggest damn smile. "Truly, you are best pony, Mrs Baker. Three for me, too." she offers her entire personal supply of...six caps to the mare.
<uSea_a_GM> "Now now, don't be greedy." She says to Cerberus in a scalding tone of voice... which for Mrs. Baker is just just a little less friendly.
* Cerberus frowns "ah... one... please?"
* Geldnir smiles "Make that two. I'll pay for it."
<uSea_a_GM> "That's better." She gives three cakes to Milia and two to Geldnir. "Don't let it spoil your appetite!"
* Artifica realizes she has no caps of her own.  "I don't suppose you would barter for labor?" she asks Mrs Baker plaintively.
* Milia chuckles. "Oh, trust me, I'm sure I'll still have an appetite after this. Which means I will need to come back and buy more cupcakes." she turns to Artifica, smiling. "Like I wasn't gonna share?" she offers one to the unicorn.
* Cerberus eats her cake but frowns, being scolded is never fun
* Artifica floats the cake into the air before her nose, breathing in the scent, then looks to Milia with utmost gratitude.
* Geldnir scarfs cake down. "Sooo good. Madam you are truely a master of the pastery arts."
* Artifica nibbles the cake, closing her eyes, savoring it.  It was like a little piece of a better time.
* Milia smiles at Artifica. She starts to eat her own. "Oh mah gawd..."
* Short_Fuse trots up to the counter; "I'll take one if there's any left."
<uSea_a_GM> "Well thank you kind sir, we do take pride in our baking." She gets out another for Short_Fuse. "Why, certainly. That will be two caps please."
* RainbowYoshi ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* RainbowYoshi ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Short_Fuse hoofs over two caps and gulps down the cake quickly. "Hmm... should have savoured that a bit more. Oh well."
* Milia starts to tear up a bit, eating her food quietly. "D-damn it..." she mutters as she eats, wiping her eyes with a foreleg.
* Geschick ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
* Geldnir looks at the young zebra with a worried expression. "Are you okay Milla?"
* Price_Signal has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
* Ashen_Ward is now known as Xulis
* Milia finally finishes her confection. She turns to the bakermare, her eyes slightly puffy still. "Heh...thanks, ma'am, I haven't had fresh cupcakes in a while. They were delicious." She turns to Geldnir offering him a wan smile. "Ah...yeah...I just...the first time I ever had fresh cupcakes, it was my best friend, March, that had gotten them for me. She's...ah...she's dead now. I guess it kinda just...reminded me of her. Sorry."
<Geldnir> "Don't be. I know to well how painful the feeling of loss can be, and how unexpectedly it can creep up on a person."
* Short_Fuse hugs the young zebra; "Lost friends are never easy. Trust me, I've had a long time to lose mine."
* Shadow has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
* Milia sniffles, grateful for the squishy ghoul hug. "H-heh...yeah...goddess, it really does...-" she turns to the ghoul who is currently hugging her. "-and it never is, huh...I'll be okay, though...th-thanks, guys."
* Short_Fuse releases the hug; "No worries."
