FoE PNP G-Platypus Session 72

[19:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  *****G-Platypus: The City of Broad Withers - Session 72*****
[19:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Focus.
[19:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Like a laser, ponies travel from place to place in their lives, moving from one moment of importance to the next.
[19:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  But also like a laser, they can lose alignment, disperse... lose focus.
[19:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Sometimes a pony has to take a moment and make sure they are still aimed at what is important to them.
[19:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Where will out wastelanders orient themselves? Or will they scatter into the winds... wasted...
[19:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  *****Session Start*****
[19:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake slips through the dark building, retracing her steps and avoiding any pitfalls. She reaches the road, and with it, an avenue to the others at the cages.
[19:07] * Snack_Cake makes her way quickly back to where the met thr other two ponies. It should be safe there, and they can meet up again.
[19:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  At the cages, the liberated slaves start to get restless... without masters and a chance at freedom the longer term slaves are nervous. The former Caravaneers are loading up their personal posessions.
[19:09] * North_Star holds his rifle in his hooves, looking down the road before looking back at the group.
[19:11] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry finishes doing some work on the injured biker. He gives her a quick thanks and heads back over to North_Star. "I'm going to head back to the store... check in. Where you folks headed?"
[19:11] * Scrap idly watches their surroundings for more slavers while waiting for the order to leave.
[19:12] * North_Star looks to Berry, "The orphanage, then we follow the tracks to town."
[19:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry looks up. "Deadly and her friend are staying at Railyard, right? We should lead the caravaneers there."
[19:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake finds the mare still relaxing in the shop, a weapon at the ready, but she doesn't draw it as Snack_Cake enters with her load.
[19:15] * Snack_Cake breathes a sigh of relief as she finally reaches someplace she knows they're safe for the time being
[19:16] * Snack_Cake lets the foals off her back, and sits someplace to rest for a bit.
[19:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The foals scamper off into a well lit corner, talking and even starting to play a little. It's been a while since they could be loud or move around freely.
[19:18] * North_Star nods. "Right.. Deadly could take who Snacky found.."
[19:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin gives North_Star a nod. "Right. Well. I'm off then. G'luck." He throws his legs over the motorbike and zips off.
[19:19] * Canary watches the foals with a smile.
[19:20] * Snack_Cake smiles and watches the foals playing. It warms her heart!
[19:20] * North_Star gives Gin a tip of his hat. "I hope I never see one of those things again, much less ride it.."
[19:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin hits the gas and wheelies down the alley in a blur of speed.
[19:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake can hear the sound of the stallion's odd motor-thingie getting louder.
[19:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The mare looks up and smiles.
[19:27] <Canary> [redact Canary]
[19:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin arrives and parks his bike, he looks to Snack_Cake. "You're back. You're friends are at the cages, just sprung those ponies."
[19:31] * North_Star starts gathering everypony up, getting them ready to move out.
[19:32] * Snack_Cake smiles. "That's good... so they're all safe and sound?"
[19:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin nods. "Think North said something to the doctor about going to some rail yard."
[19:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The caravaneers are ready to move out, locked and loaded. The other slaves look more nervous about it.
[19:39] * North_Star looks at the sizable group that he has to lead and takes a breath. "Don't fret too much, our route should be safe, and if it doesn't happen to be.." He pats his rifle. "We'll make it so."
[19:40] * Snack_Cake stands and trots on over to the foals. "Are you ready to get going?"
[19:40] * North_Star points down the road, towards the shop. "We head down there, and cut through the alleyways where they won't see us."
[19:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The pair of foals look up at Snack_Cake and in unison slump and say "Awwww... do we gotta?"
[19:45] * Snack_Cake smiles, but nods. "We have to go meet up with everypony." She looks to the colt, and adds, "And I think somepony wants to see you again."
[19:47] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  It hadn't registered to the colt that he potentially /wouldn't/ see his mother again, but now that it's been spoken he finds himself suddenly very much wanting to see her. He nods and looks to the filly. "We can play more later, Momma has my toy, you can play with it too."
[19:47] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The ponies make their way through the hole Scrap cut in the fence. So far there are no signs of the three remaining slavers.
[19:47] * North_Star cuts through the group, taking the lead. "Then we take the main road south. It'll be open ground from the most part, and with the number of eyes we have, I doubt anything will get the jump on us." He turns to face the group. "Everypony understand?"
[19:48] * Snack_Cake leans down to let the foals climb back on her back.
[19:49] * Scrap keeps watch regardless. They need to get them out safely.
[19:49] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blue hops off to fly around them as the foals dutifully climb aboard.
[19:54] * Snack_Cake waits patiently for them before standing and turning to Gin. "Can you show me where they are now?"
[19:54] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The main group come out of the alley just in time to see Snack_Cake talking to Gin just outside of the Mall.
[19:55] * North_Star whistles to catch Snack_Cake's attention.
[19:58] * Snack_Cake quickly turns around, surprised.
[20:00] * North_Star waves her over. "Get over here, can't leave without you, can we?"
[20:00] * Canary looks up at the sound of the whistle. His eyes fall on Gin's contraption and he trots up to it. "What is this marvelous thing?"
[20:03] * Snack_Cake frowns, and glances back at the foals. "What about the slaves? Are they alright? Did they get out okay?"
[20:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin smiles to Canary. "It's a gem powered motor scooter. It is a marvelous thing." He beams.
[20:03] * Canary begins inspecting it from a few different angles*
[20:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The rest of the slaves and caravaneers come around the corner. Two of the mares, the quiet one and the one who pushed the colt through at first spy Snack_Cake and the foals. Their eyes light up.
[20:04] * North_Star directs a hoof towards the large addition to the caravan.
[20:05] * North_Star smiles, just a bit proud of himself. "All safe and sound, for now. We're headed for Railyard, all of us."
[20:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The motorbike is basically a bench a pony can lay on with their legs coming down either side. It has two wheels, one in front and one in back. There are pedals near the front where the forelegs go that must control accelleration and braking and a yoke similar to a battlesaddle that turns the front wheel when leaning isn't enough to turn it.
[20:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The colt's mother starts to head that way at a measured trot but the other mare takes off in a full on sprint toward Snack_Cake.
[20:09] * Canary oohs and ahhs at the motorscooter before turning his attention to the foals Snack_Cake had brought with her.
[20:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The filly hops off Snack_Cake's back and runs to meet the young mare. "Sis!" They jump into a hug.
[20:13] * Snack_Cake turns and watches the filly, smiling. She's glad that she had somepony to care for her after all. After a few moments, she trots over to meet the colt's mother.
[20:14] * North_Star joins Snack_Cake to meet the mother.
[20:15] * Scrap sticks by Canary, still keeping watch, but also listens to the reunion.
[20:15] * Canary looks to Scrap, "Is that the filly we were hearing over the radio?"
[20:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  THe colt hops off and gives his mother a hug. She looks up and smiles to Snack_Cake and the others. "Thanks for keeping him safe, and for coming back for the rest of us. I was glad you took him, but I'm happier you got us all out."
[20:17] * Snack_Cake nods, smiling. "I'm glad you're all safe, too. I wouldn't even want to try and explain if..." She doesn't finish the sentence, not wanting to upset the colt.
[20:17] * Scrap shrugs.
[20:19] * North_Star nods. "To be fair, Ma'am, we're not out of the woods quite yet, and I'd rather we get walking as soon as we can."
[20:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The mare nods and the caravaneers agree. The group follows as they start heading out.
[20:22] * North_Star looks over at Gin. "You two care to join us, or you have your own plans?"
[20:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin looks to his mare. "We have a nice place here..." She seems unconvinced. They share some kinda mental couples argument and none comes out the victor quickly. They seem on the fence.
[20:26] * North_Star tilts his head. "Well.. We're headed for a town. I'm sure the gunsmith there could have feul for that.." He points to the cycle. "Yeah, that. As well as other things."
[20:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  He looks back. "Thanks for the offer, but we'll stay here. We make out own way."
[20:31] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The mare looks unsure, but nods.
[20:31] * North_Star looks to the moving group. "Alright.. Well, I'm hoping to start a little something down that way. Caravanning. If you need some work.." He suggests.
[20:33] <Mister_Clacky|GM> The mare looks to North_Star and then to Gin. "Steady work?"
[20:50] * North_Star nods. "Pretty steady. Lots of travel, lots of danger, lots of caps." He says. "Though, I need to see about a place of operations first.."
[20:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM> The mare stands up. "We'll come." Gin looks to her about to protest and she fixes him with a stare. "I'm not about to spend my pregnancy a block from a slaver outpost. We can make our own way somewhere /else/." He starts to form an argument, but she glares him back down. "Alright... I'll get out things." With that they start packing and are soon ready to head out with the others.
[20:56] * North_Star smiles, "Welcome aboard, then."
[20:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  With the motor scooter loaded down with their posessions, the now sizable group can head on their way. THey make their way toward Railyard.
[20:59] * North_Star walks alongside, looking over at the mare. "I never caught your name.."
[21:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Pilliwinks. Wink for short. Call me Winkie and I'll hurt you. Bad." She smiles as she threatens him.
[21:04] * North_Star nods. "Noted. Just.. Givin' you fair warning, I'm not the luckiest fella around.
[21:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  She laughs. "It's alright, luck is what you make it."
[21:08] * North_Star smiles. "That's a way of lookin' at it.. I gotta talk to some folks about land, and buildin' on it. Plus I should send a couple letters out, see if a couple of old friends could help us start up. Bottom line, it'll be a while before we do some actual caravanning, but I'll cover your room and board, if you need it. Also any medical.. Things." He explains.
[21:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Wink walks with the group, occassionally riding on the back of Gin's motorbike as they go. Mostly he offers that to the foals or to anyone struggling with the pace. She smiles as they talk. "That sounds wonderful, we have some connections ourselves. I'm sure we can work things out."
[21:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  It takes a couple days of travel to get to Railyard, but it's an uneventful trip as far as other attacks goes. They can see the town in the intermediate distance.
[21:11] * North_Star smiles at the sight of Railyard, even more so at the sight of Railyard being the way they left it.
[21:12] * Snack_Cake spends the majority of the trip helping watch the foals. She's very glad that everything turned out alright.
[21:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Railyard isn't on fire or anything! The trip wasn't hard, but it was long for the foals. The town in a welcome sight. A guard walks along the top wall, though it doesn't look stallion-y enough to be Caboose or his deputies.
[21:14] * North_Star holds a hoof over his eyes to get a better look at that guard.
[21:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Some mare from the silloette, it's still too far away. She starts heading around the perimeter to the far side. They haven't been spotted yet.
[21:19] * North_Star starts towards the town, trying to get a better look of the new guard.
[21:32] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Nopony notices the pony flying out the apartment building's window and diving low before skimming the ground on his way east.
[21:33] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  They make it to the railroad tracks and can follow them into the city proper.
[21:35] * North_Star leads the group into town, taking his hat off to beat the dust and dirt off of it.
[21:40] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The Railyard caravan is gone, at least the car is. Their car is where they left it. Across the town at the north gate they can see the mare on the wall climb down into the guardhouse.
[21:43] * Snack_Cake smiles. She's glad they're back! This place is starting to feel like a new home to her, and she feels pretty safe here, all things considering.
[21:44] * North_Star turns the the group. "Welcome to Railyard." He says with a smile.
[21:45] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  There is a wagon close to the gatehouse.  It seems all the stores are open and Miss Priss is outside beating a rug.
[21:48] * North_Star starts towards Miss Priss. "Make yourselves comfy, and if anypony asks about caps, put it on North's tab." He says, giving the group a wave of dismissal.
[21:48] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The ponies with them look around at the little town that's so quickly been adding new members. Deadly and her friend step out of Sleepers.
[21:49] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin's bike announces their presense as he motors into the square. The noise draws too ponies to the window of the gatehouse, Sheriff Caboose and the mare from before.
[21:53] * North_Star digs into his satchel. "Miss Priss. A minute if you have one."
[21:54] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Miss Priss looks his way. In the silence before her answer another voice rings out. "Welcome back, Lawcolt." The mare in the gatehouse leans against the doorframe with a smirk.
[21:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The group scatters to explore, the caravaneers waving down Deadly and their missing member for a reunion.
[21:55] * North_Star looks to the gatehouse. "You didn't.. Lilac?" He calls out in reply.
[21:56] <Mister_Clacky|GM> The guardmare smirks. "Take care of your business, Lawcolt. I'm not going anywhere." She smirks and turns slowly, with a little sway in her hips, and heads back into the gatehouse.
[21:57] * North_Star tips his hat, looking back to Miss Priss. "About my new friends."
[22:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Miss Priss looks at the small herd he brought in with him and resists the urge to bring her hoof to her face. "/More/ refugees."
[22:03] * North_Star smiles. "I know, I know. We'll try not make them stay here too long. How much for the first night?"
[22:03] * Snack_Cake decides to go and make something nice and tasty, to bring with her to see Toil.
[22:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake finds the ovens in their home to be just as badass as they were before and the cubbards are full of cooking stuff.
[22:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Miss Priss sighs. "First night's on me, normal rate after."
[22:09] * North_Star tips his hat. "You're the best. I'll make it up to you one of these days."
[22:12] * North_Star turns to head for the all familar Slash & Slag's.
[22:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North_Star can hear the familiar sounds of affection coming from Slash and Slag's. "You collossal moron! If it wouldn't damage my pipe, I'd crack you upside the head!"
[22:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Hey, settle..." *crack*. "Hey! You said..." "It was worth the risk, still straight, want another?!"
[22:21] * North_Star knocks on the door, peeking in. "Mind if I interuppt?"
[22:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North_Star finds Slag with a pipe in her hooves and Slash rubbing his head. Slash looks over to him. "Please do." *crack* Slag drops the pipe after the second whack and slips behind the counter mumbling.
[22:24] * Snack_Cake decides to go with something very chocolatey, with some strawberries. She thinks Toil will love it, so that's what she's gonna make!
[22:25] * North_Star walks in, "Everything alright?" He asks, taking his satchet off.
[22:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake finds that the pantry has everything she could need to make it. It smells amazing as it bakes.
[22:28] * Scrap follows North_Star there, carrying his part of the loot.
[22:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash looks to North_Star with a smile, and a couple bumps on his head. As he turns, North_Star can see his upper foreleg is splinted and his barding is concealing some heavy bandaging.
[22:30] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Everything is good. Nice to see you back. I heard you went out to find a lost caravan. That work out?"
[22:31] * North_Star walks up to the counter. "We found the folks. They're safe in town, plus a few others." He looks to Slash. "What's with the leg?"
[22:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "He's an idiot!" Comes the voice from behind the counter. He rolls his eyes. "That little business venture up north was a bit of trouble, is all. Got it all tied up though." Scrap can see Lariat is in the back working on a book.
[22:37] * Snack_Cake hums while she works, putting all her care in to make the tastiest cake she can.
[22:37] * North_Star takes the four rifles from his bag, setting them on the counter for Slag's appraisal. "That reminds me. I've done a little thinking, and I want to try a bit of a business venture."
[22:39] <Mister_Clacky|GM> "Oh, yeah?" Slash grins. "Wat ya got in mind?"
[22:40] * Scrap watches Lariat work on the book, curiously as North_Star handles the business.
[22:41] * North_Star sets the rusty machete down on the counter with the rifles. "Think with me now. Star Caravans."
[22:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The pen moves in Lariat's mouth as she transcribes. It's almost sensual in a way, though Lariat isn't the most sensual of ponies.
[22:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  *ding!* The cake is ready.
[22:44] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "Caravan work is good work, it's how Railyard gets it's funds." Slash looks at North_Star with eyes that show an underlying bit of shrewdness. Different than his normal, slightly dopey expression or his angry eyes.
[22:45] * Scrap keeps watching, rather enjoying it for reasons he's not entirely sure on and not sure if it's ok for him to keep watching.
[22:45] * North_Star nods. "I was looking on setting up shop in Tressle, actually, if they'll let me."
[22:47] * Snack_Cake takes the cake out and sets it aside to dress it. Lots of drizzly chocolate, with nice, chocolate covered strawberries!
[22:48] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat doesn't seem to notice or mind. The pen glistens a bit near the end where her lips have moistened it. Her tongue works inside her mouth to form the delicate little letters, batting the tip with a gentle and practiced ease. Her forelock hangs down just in front of her face.
[22:49] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash nods. "Tressel has slapped together a little caravan to bring shine here for distribution. Not sure what else they produce, but with the influx of your last group of liberated ponies, they probably need something, yeah?"
[22:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The cake looks as good as it will undoubtably taste.
[22:52] * Snack_Cake makes sure it's all ready before putting it in a container to carry with her as she goes to visit Toil!
[22:52] * North_Star nods again. "Some more wagons could to the town, hell, the area some good. Maybe tame the route between the two towns."
[22:53] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake knows the way! Toil hasn't knocked out the stairs yet, so she can still make it up to her top floor apartment.
[22:54] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash nods. "With more ponies around, more stuff gets made, yeah? The more need there is. Probably plenty of work to be had, roight?"
[22:55] * North_Star smiles. "And then from there, maybe some trails could be blazed, bring some new faces around here."
[22:55] * Scrap keeps watching with a swallow. She looks somewhat talented with her mouth...
[22:57] * Snack_Cake heads on over in a hurry. She hums the entire way, happy to be here again! Once she makes her way up to the top floor, she calls out, "Hellooo! Toil? It's me! We're all back, and I've brought something for us to share!"
[22:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM> Slash chuckles. "You've not had any problems bringing new faces, roight?" Slash thinks and look back to Slag, who's been eavesdropping. She adds, "Probably plenty to do. I know there are runs we make that we'd be alright contracting out."
[22:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The door to Toil's apartment is slightly cracked.
[22:59] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat walks the pen from one side of her mouth to the other. She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes. Bit of eye strain to this work. She leans back with her eyes still closed, letting the pen slide slowly from her lips to drop onto her waiting hoof. She blows out a breath, her lips blowing out before she starts working her jaw around.
[23:00] * North_Star nods. "I appreciate it, but first, I need a place of business to run the show from. I doubt Snacky would like me running a caravan operation from her kitchen."
[23:00] * Snack_Cake nudges the door open, calling out again. "Toil?" She heads on inside.
[23:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil is laying on her couch. Her mane is disheveled and there's some red on the back of her neck. It could be blood seeping out from right where her head meets her neck.
[23:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag slips around the corner. "Well, I don't know what Tressel is like, but depending on how much you have to put down, you might be able to afford a car here. Depends what your routes are going to be, what'll be most central."
[23:05] * Scrap just keeps watching, not even bothering to pay attaention to the deal being discussed.
[23:07] * North_Star shrugs. "I could try my luck out west again, or poke southward." He muses. "North.. Ironically, out of the question."
[23:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat opens her eyes and finally notices Scrap. She gives a friendly smile.
[23:09] * Scrap blushes and looks away before quickly forcing himself to look back and smile.
[23:11] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag nods and shoulders her way past Slash. "Go fix something." He huffs, but slips out. If they are back, he probably has something better to do anyway. "Ursa Minors handle most of their own stuff, so you're right. Railyard pretty much handles south with the refrigerator car, unless you go /way/ south. East or West are probably your best bets."
[23:12] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat smirks as he has trouble looking at her. It's flattering. She pats the bench beside her.
[23:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil stays where she is on the couch, though her ear moves at Snack_Cake's voice, so she's not dead.
[23:14] * North_Star nods. "North is.. Another story for another day. When I meant south, I mean deep south. Swamplands south."
[23:15] * Scrap quickly makes his way over and sits down. "H-hi, Lariat."
[23:19] * Snack_Cake is a little worried. She quickly drops the cake on a table somewhere, and rushes over to see if Toil's alright!
[23:20] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag blinks. "That /is/ south. Jeez... you'd be on the road for weeks between drops." She rubs her neck, not sure if that is even tenable. She also assumes by swampland he means the mouth of the Illineigh river. It's still in Buckago, but it's gotten swampish with the lake rising.
[23:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat looks at him. "Still strange." She tilts her head to match his angle and looks into his eyes. "But I reckon I can still see the pegasus that saved us in there."
[23:22] * North_Star nods. "Like I said, I'm hoping to bring some fresh business around here. The least I could do for y'all."
[23:22] * Scrap blinks. "Y-you can?"
[23:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil shifts at the sound of rushing hooves. She turns her head and blinks owlishly, not entirely with it. "Wha?"
[23:27] * Snack_Cake doesn't know how to really tell if she's alright or not... "Are you okay!? What's happened?" She looks over her.
[23:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat takes his chin in a hoof. "Yep. Lil' glint in your eye. Mighta been chained to the wall, but I saw enough to see that stallion in this one."
[23:29] * Scrap blinks. "Glint?"
[23:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil waves a hoof dismissively. "Just a little lightheaded, 'sall." She smiles. She touches her neck, not seeming to feel any pain from it. Her hoof still comes back bloody. "Should probably put a bandage or something on that."
[23:31] * Snack_Cake frowns. "What happened? I was worried! That's not a good sight to walk in and see..."
[23:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake can see two little punctures at the back of her neck with two little comet-tail-like furrows behind. Getting that close, she can smell sweat on her as well as see it beaded up on her neck and back. There's some other scents playing on her nose as well. "I'm fine, it's nothing Sweetie."
[23:36] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat grins. "They say eyes are windows to tha soul. Can't 'splain it better'n that. Just saying I see ya, 'sall. And thank ya if I ain't said it enough a'ready."
[23:38] * Snack_Cake keeps frowning. "Well, if you're sure... I brought something for us to share!" She smiles and trots over to where she haphazardly left the cake, and shows it to Toil!
[23:38] * Scrap smiles. "You're welcome. I couldn't stand seeing you chained up like that with them having used you..." His ears droop.
[23:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil slides off the couch... literally. SHe does manage to get her hooves under her. "Looks great, Sweetie. Just let me get cleaned up for company." She gets up and heads toward the bedroom and a washbasin within.
[23:41] * North_Star sighs. "Look, I need to pitch this idea to somepony else." He waves a hoof over the weapons on the counter. "Take you're time with 'em."
[23:45] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag takes the items for sale. "We'll get it all worked out. Let me know if you need anything with your plan. I think we'll want to work with you."
[23:45] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat pats his shoulder. "That's cause you're a good pony."
[23:47] * North_Star gives Slag a smile. "You spoil me, the both of you." He says, ducking out of the shop and heading for the gatehouse.
[23:48] * Snack_Cake nods, and starts humming a bit, getting everything ready them to spend a nice time together, setting out some of the cake for Toil and herself, before settling in to wait for her to finish up.
[23:50] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slag smiles as he goes.
[23:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Depending on the attention Snack_Cake pays as she leaves, what Toil had been doing would be given away by a matted stain on her inner thigh if she was looking that way. Toil slips into the bedroom and cleans up before returning with a little square bandage on the back of her neck. She smiles and takes her slice. "This is turning out to be a /great/ day."
[23:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  THe gatehouse door is open.
[23:52] * North_Star ducks inside, knocking on the door to announce his entrance.
[23:54] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac is sitting inside at a chair around the sheriff's round table. She's got a hoofful of cards and the majority of the chips between her and the three local lawponies. "Evening, Lawcolt." She smirks.
[23:55] * North_Star tips his hat. "Evening, Lilac, Fellas."
[23:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose gives a little wave. "North." THe other two just kinda quietly grumble.
[23:56] * North_Star leans on the table next to Lilac. "Surely you didn't come down here just for me."
[23:57] * Snack_Cake smiles right back. "I figured you'd like it!" She gives a little bit of a sigh. "You wouldn't believe how nice it is to just be back."
[23:57] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  "/You/ weren't even here." She gives him a little bap. "Cask needed a guard to bring the first batch of shine."
[23:58] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smiles and levitates a bite to her mouth. She starts to say something but nearly melts after taking a bite. "Oh... Goddess... this is amazing!"
[00:00] * North_Star chuckles, "You mind if we have a gab on the wall?" He looks down at the table. "After you clean the deptuties out, that is."
[00:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  She smirks as the last round of betting comes back to her, all their chips pushed to the center. They show, all thinking they have the high hoof. "River doesn't look good for me... only way I could win is with 7 and 9 of clubs..." She flips her two cards over with a smirk. "Oh... there they are. Cash me out boys."
[00:08] * North_Star smiles and shakes his head. "Things been quiet, Sheriff?" He asks. "Hate to know that trouble's been showing up without me around."
[00:09] * Snack_Cake giggles a bit and takes a bite of her own slice, nodding. "Mmm... it's one of my favorites." She takes another bite and enjoys it for a few moments, before asking, "So, how've you been up here?"
[00:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose grumbles. "Just her." She takes her tidy sum of caps with a smirk and a raspberry.
[00:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary is still with Gin and Wink as they look around. They have a place to stay for the night, and seem to be happy. The whole of Railyard is ready and waiting.
[00:11] * North_Star chuckles. "If she's trouble, then I need to go looking for it more often." He jokes.
[00:11] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil slips her hoof under Snack_Cake's chin and brings her to face her. "Marry me. I know I'm married, but we'll all make it work just so long as you keep making this stuff."
[00:11] * Canary keeps stealing glances at Gin's motorbike
[00:12] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin notices. "She's a lot of fun."
[00:14] * Scrap smiles. "Thanks."
[00:14] * Snack_Cake blinks, completely dumbstruck, before suddenly blushing hotly. "I... what... you're not serious... are you?"
[00:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac grins and bumps his shoulder. "Hush you, I think you said something about pinning me to a wall?"
[00:17] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smirks. "Why, are you seriously considering saying yes?" THere is mischief in her eyes.
[00:18] * North_Star starts out and up the wall, "Tempting, but not this time. It's about my living situation, and other such things."
[00:19] <Canary> Canary nods, "What did you say it was called?"
[00:23] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac follows along behind him. "Alright, talk is good too."
[00:23] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin shrugs. "I've heard it called a lot of things, but I like Motorbike."
[00:24] * North_Star looks over at Lilac. "What's the land situation like at Tressle?" He asks, bluntly.
[00:25] * Canary smiles, "Can you get me a parts list?"
[00:25] * Snack_Cake is very flustered. She can't believe what's going on right now! "I don't... I mean... I didn't expect..." She can't really form complete sentences at the moment.
[00:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac considers. "Big influx with the ponies you guys sent to us. Anything inside the walls is at a premium. Houses going up outside, and I thin they want to put up a second wall. It's cheaper outside, specially if you plan to build yerself."
[00:28] * North_Star nods. "I'm thinking a considerable amout of space.. Enough to keep a couple wagons and a building."
[00:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin blinks. "Parts list? Don't think so. I mean, I know where a couple junkers are. Might be able to get one together out of the three if you're mechanically minded, but from scratch? Well, that would take a while of me writing and exactly how some of it works is beyond me."
[00:30] * Canary smiles, "Well, if I can get something to build from that'd be a plus, but I want one."
[00:33] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smirks. Oh, this is fun. She lets her squirm a bit. "Full thoughts, Snacky."
[00:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac taps her chin. "Couldn't do it on the tressel, but there's plenty of space between the walls and where the buildings start getting too thick. Would be out in the open."
[00:36] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat takes her hoof off Scrap's chin, all smiles. "You're welcome, Sugarcube."
[00:36] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin grins. "Wouldn't you want to give it a whirl once before you go to all the trouble?"
[00:36] * North_Star nods. "I'd have plenty of guns watching the place. Hell, even you if you feel like shooting shit."
[00:40] * Scrap blushes a bit and smiles. "Sugarcube. I kinda like being called that."
[00:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin crosses over to the motorbike. "Can't really hurt it much, Canary, if you want to give it a try."
[00:42] * Canary does an inspection of the motorbike
[00:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat smiles back. "Well, Sugarcube, if you like it, that's what I'll call ya." She gives him a little punch on the shoulder. If her abuse has had any effect on her, it doesn't show it. Then, she was the strong one when they were freed too.
[00:43] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac rears up and leans her chest over the railing on the wall. "I'm a guard, it's what I do. You fixin' to head my way?"
[00:44] * North_Star nods. "Not staying to long. Caravan business, Star Caravans." He looks over at her, "What do you think?"
[00:44] * Scrap smiles a little wider. "It's nice to see you happy."
[00:45] * Snack_Cake squirms under Toil's gaze. She has to pause and collect her thoughts before she can manage to answer. "It's... uhm... It's not like I'd say no outright... You're my friend but this isn't even something I thought would ever happen andIdon'tevenknowhowI'danswerifyouwerebeingserious!" That last came out in a big rush. She's still very embarrassed about the idea.
[00:53] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smirks. "Goddesses, you are adorable when you are flustered." She boops her nose and giggles.
[00:54] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat opens and closes her eyes a few times. "I'm going on break." She calls out. "Gotta uncross my eyes. Wanna come along? Gonna put a little dirt under ma hooves."
[00:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac looks out across the wastes almost wistfully. "Sounds promising."
[00:56] <North_Star> me nods. "I'd be on the road a lot, but I'd end up coming home to you." He says with a smile.
[00:56] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary can see the form of the motorbike. It occurs to him that shape... he's seen it before. THere's a scrap pile just south of Railyard where he saw something like it.
[00:56] * Snack_Cake doesn't say anything. She's still flustered and trying to keep it together.
[00:57] * Canary grins, "Aha!"
[00:57] * Scrap smiles and nods. "Sure."
[01:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil drapes her foreleg over Snack_Cake's withers and pulls her into a friendly hug. She plants a big, wet kiss on her cheek with an exagerate 'Mwah!'. "Don't ever change, Snacky."
[01:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin looks at Canary with a quirked brow. "You alright there, Chief?"
[01:01] * Snack_Cake returns the hug, a little shyly. She mutters, "I don't think I could even if I tried..."
[01:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat stands and walks out the door with Scrap.
[01:02] * Scrap follows next to her, rather enjoying her company.
[01:06] <TenMihara> Canary smirks at Gin, "I think I know where i can find one. And how to fix it."
[01:06] * North_Star leans against the wall, facing the town with a sigh. "Probably for the best I keep moving back and forth. Hard for by bad luck to keep up that way."
[01:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat leads Scrap back toward around the buildings between the back of the shops and the wall. It's a good open area to walk... or test firearms... as the bulletmarks and splintered stump testify to. She sighs. "I owe ya an apology."
[01:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac turns her head to face him with a little, almost sad, grin. "I think your luck is just fine, Lawcolt."
[01:11] * Scrap tilts his head. "For what?"
[01:12] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil chuckles. "You're such a sweetheart. Your fillyfriend is lucky."
[01:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin responds, "Oh?"
[01:14] * North_Star looks over at Lilac. "It has it's moments, sure." He looks back out over the town. "It'll balance out eventually, and I'd rather it be out on the road.." He pats a hoof on one of her's, "Than have it show up around here."
[01:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac looks at him in return. "For how long?"
[01:16] * Canary nods, "Scrap pile south of Railyard."
[01:16] * North_Star thinks for a moment. "A week or two, with a few days rest in between." He nods, "Not counting for the odd.. Diversion."
[01:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat sighs. "Chastity... she took it real hard. Splotches was real kind to her and I think she mighta had a bit of something starting ta bud, ya know? I wasn't right to ya after, and that wasn't acceptable, not after what y'all did for us."
[01:26] * Scrap frowns a little. "Well, it wasn't right for me to not tell her."
[01:26] * Snack_Cake frowns. She gives Toil a bit of a sad look. "It... didn't really work out..."
[01:30] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat punches his shoulder not entirely lightly. "Yeah, that was a dumb thing to do, but we can all forgive, yeah?"
[01:33] * Scrap doesn't seem to mind the punch. He nods and smiles. "Yeah. I'm just glad that you don't hate me."
[01:36] * North_Star looks over at Lilac. "You think you could put up with my shit while this whole thing gets started?"
[01:39] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil's whole tone changes and the hug becomes tighter. "Oh, Sweetie, I'm sorry. Anything I can do?"
[01:40] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac gives North_Star a little grin. "I think I could handle that."
[01:41] * North_Star shares the grin. "Confidence. I like that."
[01:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat smiles. "Well, I don't. I'm right sorry for being that way, but I look after Chastity and ya hurt her. I still don't know if she's right enough to see ya like this, but I'll help if ya need me ta."
[01:45] * Scrap looks a bit unsure. "I don't want to make her upset."
[01:46] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat pats his shoulder where she'd punched him. "Then just be mindful. If she wants space, give it, if she approaches ya, listen. A'right?"
[01:46] * North_Star gently boops Lilac on the nose. "I guess, I should head to Tressle first thing in the morning with whoever's willing to start up a caravan company. Sound like a plan?"
[01:47] * Scrap nods. "Ok."
[01:48] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac smiles and leans over so her shoulder rests against his. "Then what will you do tonight?"
[01:49] * North_Star smiles. "Oh, treat you to a couple drinks, a nice dinner, and then a comfy bed. Or something along those lines."
[01:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac smiles. "Me was the right answer, but you have the jist of it."
[01:51] * Canary nods to Gin, "Scrap pile south of Railyard."
[01:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin hops on the bike. "ALright then, Canary. Hop on, we'll go look."
[01:52] * Canary smiles and hops on. He wraps his hooves around the other stallion and smiles
[01:53] * North_Star chuckles. "What's a grand finale without a good build up?"
[01:53] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin stomps on the gas and the bike surges forward and out the gate. He leans it left to go around the outside of the wall to head south.
[01:54] * Canary lets out a loud, wild exclamation. This was thrilling!
[01:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin smirks. This guy understood fun, unlike that stick in the mud before. He hits a pile of scrap and launches them through the air. He takes all the bumps, jostles, and ramps he can find on his way around
[01:55] * Snack_Cake shakes her head. "It's alright... We're still friends at least. It was... nice while it lasted, but... things like that happen, right...?"
[01:55] * Canary wooooooos!
[01:56] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lilac smirks, her tail entwining with North_Star's. "It's... What. Is. That." THe woooooooo is louder than the bike as the pair of stallions ramp past the wall where the couple stand sharing their moment.
[01:57] * North_Star blinks, watching them roll past. "That. Is one of my empolyees.."
[01:58] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil sighs. She floats the whole cake with her. "Come on, Sweetie. You need a good laydown and talk-about-it." She starts heading toward the bedroom.
[02:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat smiles. "Good, now that that's settled, how bout a run? Gotta stretch out the legs with all this sittin' and writin' they got me doin'."
[02:00] * Scrap smiles. "Sure."
[02:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  She smiles. "Alright, so the way I figure it, the best route is..." She baps him none-too-gently on the nose. "TAG!" She takes off the other way with a whoop!
[02:03] * North_Star sighs. "Never a quiet night around here, is there?"
[02:04] * Scrap blinks and wiggles his nose before bolting after her.
[02:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North_Star hears a whoop from below him as he spies Scrap chasing after Lariat. Lilac looks back at him. "Doesn't seem like it."
[02:07] * North_Star looks to Lilac. "I vote we retreat to the bar and enjoy a hard drink, or several. We can work the rest of the night from there."
[02:08] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  She turns and runs her tail along his side. "I like hard things." She heads along the wall with a wiggle in her rump.
[02:09] * North_Star smiles, looking out into the horizon once more before following the ru-Imean-mare.
[02:12] * Snack_Cake nods and follows Toil. She could definitely use a laydown, and while she might not want to talk about it right now, maybe they can work through it a bit.
[02:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil lays down beside Snack_Cake, settling down the cake on the nightstand. She scoots up beside her and gives her a supportive hug. "I'm sorry to hear that, you two were a cute couple. You wanna tell me what happened?"
[02:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat is surprisingly quick! Agile too, as she jumps a fence or two to escape, laughing all the while. Sometimes you just need to forget your age and your troubles and have some gosh dern fun!
[02:17] * Scrap has no trouble keeping up with her with his and Splotches training. He is rather impressed.
[02:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin drives wildly, but they soon find themselves at the right scrapheap.
[02:22] * Thunder_Strike is hanging around the hotel train car
[02:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder_Strike catches Scrap talking with Lariat behind all the shops on the far side of town. They talk a minute and then she punches him on the nose and takes off! She sees him chasing her around the inside of the wall, heading her way.
[02:25] * Thunder_Strike watches them wondering what's going on.
[02:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat slips on a patch of mud, trying to leap a barrel. She crashes into it, but keeps her hooves under her. She manages to keep moving but lost a lot of speed as she scrabbles her way back into a gallop.
[02:29] * Thunder_Strike chuckles and watches still.
[02:29] * Scrap grins and pours on the speed.
[02:32] * Snack_Cake doesn't say anything right away. After a few moments of comfort, she says, "She just... said that she wanted time to think it over. I don't blame her... I did spring it on her really suddenly..."
[02:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil keeps an arm around her. "Is that all? A little break for perspective doesn't mean it's over or she doesn't love you. Look..." She points up at the ceiling.
[02:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat shufflesteps and gets her balance, but it's probably too late to make an escape. She listens to the sound of his hooves.
[02:37] * Thunder_Strike smiles and then gets up to go visit slash unintentionally stepping in Scrap's path.
[02:41] * Snack_Cake gives Toil a confused look and then looks up where she points.
[02:43] * Canary smiles and begins trotting around the scrap heaps, looking for the half-remembered thing. He was pleased about it because he actually remembered something minute like that... he hoped.
[02:43] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake looks up and sees her and Toil in the mirror on the ceiling. "See that mare. She's a sweet, beautiful, kindhearted mare. Does she look like the kind of pony that won't find happiness in the end? It'll work or it won't, but if it doesn't, it's the biggest mistake of her life."
[02:43] * Scrap sees Thunder_Strike in his way, but is running too fast. He saves her as best he can, but still barrels into her.
[02:46] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Canary pokes around, he finds a pile of sky chariots, motorized wagons and the like all mangled together. It looks like some big machine just pushed them all up into a pile. Caught in the middle, kinda under some stuff, he can see the front tire of a motorbike poking out.
[02:46] * Canary looks to Gin, "How strong are you? I might need help getting this out."
[02:48] * Thunder_Strike squeaks and is knocked down.
[02:48] * Snack_Cake gives a little smile, and gives Toil a big hug. "Thanks... You always know just what to say."
[02:49] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat puts on the brakes and skids around to face them. She busts out laughing. "Gotta watch where you're running, Sugarcube." She starts to walk back up to the entangled pair.
[02:50] * Scrap quickly gets up and helps Thunder_Strike. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Are you alright."
[02:51] <Scrap> ?*
[02:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil snerks. "Sweetie, I'm just being honest. I couldn't fake sincerity for shit." She floats over a bit more cake.
[02:52] * Thunder_Strike is blushing. ''uh .... yeah I'm ok.'' she says then rubs her shoulder. ''sorry scrap.''
[02:53] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat smirks. "So, does that mean she's it?"
[02:54] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin looks at the mangled scrap pile (I could say scrapheap, and probably not ping Scrap, but why would I do that?). "I think we can probably wiggle it out. Doesn't look like any weight's on it..."
[02:54] * Scrap looks at Thunder_Strike's shoulder. "Are you hurt?"
[02:55] * Thunder_Strike smiles and shakes her head. ''just brushing the mud off.''
[02:57] * Scrap smiles. "Good. I'd hate to have hurt you." He looks at Lariat and shrugs. "I guess so."
[02:58] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat smirks and walks past Scrap, swatting him with her tail. "Then we better start running, Sugarcube." She looks back to Thunder_Strike. "You're it!" And she bolts with a laugh.
[02:59] * Scrap looks between Thunder_Strike and Lariat, ready to run, but not sure if Thunder wants to or is ok to play.
[03:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil levitates a slice of cake over to Snack_Cake so she can enjoy some sweetness in bed too.
[03:01] * Thunder_Strike looks and smiles. ''wings or no wings?''
[03:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat stops several pony-lengths ahead, jogging in place. "Up to him."
[03:03] * Snack_Cake giggles a bit. "So... I have to ask, how's the foal doing?" She gives her a smile. "Behaving? Or have you been having a rough time?" She takes a bite of the cake.
[03:03] * Canary nods to Gin and steps up to it. "On the count of three then. One... two..."
[03:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil rests her hoof on her belly. "Behaving. I wouldn't know if I didn't know, ya know?"
[03:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin nods and steps up with him, grunting as they get their hooves on it and start to tug.
[03:04] * Canary tugs on three
[03:05] * Scrap blinks and then smiles. "Wings." He then bolts in a different direction.
[03:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat takes off as well, darting around the cars.
[03:06] * Thunder_Strike grins then opens her wings. ''alright but you asked for it!'' she says then takes off flying after them.
[03:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The bike comes free. The engine is there, but the back end is bent rather sharply, the back wheel at almost a 90 degree angle to the rest of the bike.
[03:07] * Canary smiles, "It's more intact than I thought. This is fixable for sure, especially with all this junk lying around for spare parts."
[03:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin nods as they look at it. "I think your right... hey, there's at least part of another. He ducks his head low and snakes his forequarter into the hold they just made, his rump bounding in the air as he strains to push himself a bit farther in. Leather chaps are a bikers friend. "Yeah, I think it's loose. Should be able to pull it out."
[03:11] * Canary nods and stares at that rump with a small smile as he stands ready in case it looked liek the junk would collapse.
[03:12] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin gives some tugs, his backside clenching up as he digs in his heels and pulls back. "It's moving... but you might have to help. Get a rope or help me pull..."
[03:12] * Scrap runs at top speed to keep away from her.
[03:13] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat plans to protect herself by sticking close to the railcars and having plenty of places to dive under.
[03:13] * Canary almost laughs at that statement, then pulls a bit of rope out of his mustache and tosses it to Gin
[03:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smiles to Snack_Cake. "It's a long way til I'm ready to pop. Goldie can still get his forelegs around me." She smirks. "I know, we just checked."
[03:14] * Thunder_Strike flys at speed trying to catch him. she's kinda forgotten about lariat. she wants revenge!
[03:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Gin takes it and tries to tie it off, cursing. "Forget it, just pull me out and I'll yank it out with me."
[03:16] * Scrap looks back and sees Thunder_Strike catching him. He's not going to be caught! He focuses and his wings begin to unfurl. He starts flapping and takes flight as soon as he can.
[03:17] * Canary nods and takes Gin's mouth in his tail, pulling him back out by it
[03:17] * Snack_Cake giggles a bit. "It's still a bit exciting. Foals always are, but you're someone close to me, so that makes it extra exciting! So you can't blame me for checking up on you a little more often than I need to!" She takes another bite of cake.
[03:18] <Canary> *tail in his mouth
[03:18] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Sure, it may be a typo, but that's how it happens. Somehow Canary ends up under him, facing out with his tail wrapped around Gin's muzzle. He piggybacks him out of the hole.
[03:18] * Canary is random like that
[03:19] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil lounges back. "Goldie thinks he can feel them. I think he's crazy. But he laid with his ear to my belly for like, an hour." She chuckles.
[03:20] * Thunder_Strike grins and tries to fly faster. ''I'll get you scrap!''
[03:21] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Lariat leans against the clinic and chuckles. "Well... I needed to get back to work anyway." She starts trotting toward Slash and Slags.
[03:24] * Thunder_Strike flys to her. ''sorry. I gotta get revenge, but could you do me a favor? and tell slash I need to see him later?''
[03:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  She nods. "Sure thing." She keeps a wide birth incase it's a trick.
[03:27] * Thunder_Strike smiles then flys back after Scrap.
[03:29] * Scrap slows down a bit to rest a little, but picks back up when she puts on the speed.
[03:31] * Thunder_Strike really lays on the speed.
[03:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smiles and rubs Snack_Cake's shoulder. "I mentioned just how good this cake is, right?"
[03:37] * Snack_Cake giggles at Toil, and gives a smile. "You did." She pauses, and says, "He might be right, though. Who knows what he can hear?" After a moment's hesitation, she asks, "This might be a little weird... but do you think I could listen?"
[03:38] * Scrap keeps going until he starts to feel that strange feeling that his wings are about to give out, but isn't going to lose. After about a minute, his wings suddenly vanish and skids and rolls along the ground before coming to a stop.
[03:38] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smiles. "That's fine, Snacky, I don't mind."
[03:39] * Thunder_Strike smiles and catches up then lands before him and glomps. ''gotcha.''
[03:42] * Scrap groans and slowely tries to get up. He was going pretty fast.
[03:44] * Snack_Cake smiles and leans in to press her ear against Toil's belly, listening to see if she can hear anything.
[03:46] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  It's hard to tell what she's listening for. There are noises, but it's nothing she can pinpoint as foallike.
[03:46] * Thunder_Strike helps him up.
[03:47] * Scrap stands up with her help. He's got several scrapes. "Thanks. Maybe I should be done with tag for the day."
[03:49] * Thunder_Strike looks down alittle sad. ''I didn't mean to hurt you.''
[03:50] * Snack_Cake keeps listening for a few more moments before sitting up and shaking her head, but smiling. "All quiet to me. But maybe quiet foals aren't so bad, after all." She giggles.
[03:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil smiles. "Here's hoping." She chuckles.
[03:51] * Scrap smiles at Thunder_Strike. "It's ok. It's not your fault. They just... disappeared."
[03:54] * Thunder_Strike smiles. ''yeah. that sucks that you can't keep them all the time.''
[03:56] * Scrap nods. "Yeah. We should go find Lariat to tell her we're done. Then maybe I should go to the clinic."
[03:57] * Thunder_Strike ''she's already heading to slash and slags. lets get you to the clinic.
[03:59] * Scrap nods again. "Ok." He still looks banged up from the slaver fight too.
[04:01] * Thunder_Strike nods. ''let me help. ''she says letting him mean on her.
[04:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The clinic is open.
[04:02] * Scrap accepts her help and they head inside the clinic.
[04:04] * Thunder_Strike decides to get herself patched up.
[04:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Chastity smiles as she hears the door. It runs away from her face pretty fast when she sees Scrap.
[04:06] <Scrap> "Uh, hey, Chastity. I could, uh, use your help."
[04:07] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  She looks him over. "Go ahead and slip out of the armor so I can see, please." Her speech is wooden, but not overtly angry.
[04:07] * Thunder_Strike smiles at her too.
[04:09] * Scrap takes his armor off to show her.
[04:11] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Chastity takes her medical pack out and looks over his chest. "Not taking very good care of it." She starts getting out her inherited tools.
[04:13] * Thunder_Strike is staying unusually close and seems rather worried.
[04:13] * Scrap 's ears flatten. "S-sorry. We saved a group of slaves, but had to fight our way in."
[04:13] * Thunder_Strike ''yeah.'' she says removing her armor too.
[04:15] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Chastity starts getting to work. SHe has to remove some bullets, but it takes a while to get him all patched up. She keeps a straightlip as she works.
[04:16] * Thunder_Strike waits for get to finish in scrap
[04:18] * Scrap waits for her to finish. "Thanks. I feel a lot better."
[04:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Chastity finishes patching him up. She pats his bandaged chest. "Take better care, Scrap." She sighs.
[04:23] * Scrap frowns. "I'll try."
[04:23] * Thunder_Strike looks and smiles. ''think I could get a once over??m'
[04:23] <Thunder_Strike> ?''*
[04:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Chastity nods and heads over to look Thunder_Strike over. She gets to work patching her up.
[04:25] * Thunder_Strike looks at scrap and smiles.
[04:25] * Scrap smiles back and waits for her to be patched up too.
[04:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM> Chastity doesn't have to work too hard getting Thunder_Strike patched up. "There."
[04:28] * Thunder_Strike ''thanks. how much?'' she asks siting beside scrap again.
[04:29] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Chastity shakes her head. "This one's on me. I still owe you." She sighs and heads toward the back. "Take care... please."
