- [2014-02-14 23:25:52] <KendallKun> 4 Session begin
- [2014-02-14 23:28:14] <KendallKun> 4 Having made their way into the third tier, the group are now standing in a place completely unlike the outer or anywhere they've seen in the wastes. Gone are the shanty town shacks and crowded mobs. In their place, purpose built steel homes line the street, the second wall only three or four blocks away. Merchants cry out from their stalls, selling the luxury items boght from the outer...
- [2014-02-14 23:28:14] <KendallKun> ...tier at extortionate prices, as Authority members patrol, keeping an eye out for trouble
- [2014-02-14 23:29:26] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies and Black Hooves stand looking around, the stallion looking fairly comfortable if slightly apprehensive. Black Hooves just glares at everything and everyone, grumbling about decadence and her dislike of the tier
- [2014-02-14 23:30:10] * Apricot_Tarts just tries not to stick out while checking out what the merchants might have for sale
- [2014-02-14 23:30:21] * Iris hrms, observing.
- [2014-02-14 23:30:50] * Ginger_Ails tries his best to stay in the middle and avoid attention.
- [2014-02-14 23:31:50] * Fleet_Fortune looks around with a grin. "Oooh. Everything's so neat and fancy. I could get used to this!"
- [2014-02-14 23:32:11] * Black_Tea tries to see if any of the merchants have some tea.
- [2014-02-14 23:32:57] * Apricot_Tarts is looking for somepony to sell supressors
- [2014-02-14 23:33:05] <Apricot_Tarts> *to buy
- [2014-02-14 23:33:38] <KendallKun> 4 The merchants mainly have overpriced jewelery and food, as well as a few medical supplies. It would seem that the shops closest to each district in the outer tier specialise in similar items.
- [2014-02-14 23:36:09] * Ginger_Ails sticks between Apricot_Tarts and Fleet_Fortune as they look for items with the merchants
- [2014-02-14 23:37:09] <KendallKun> 4 Unfortunately, no one is selling any tea
- [2014-02-14 23:38:02] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies and Black Hooves start to press onwards, the stallion commenting, "Shop later. We have to get moving."
- [2014-02-14 23:38:28] * Ginger_Ails has not complaints, keeping moving and getting through with this is his primary concern.
- [2014-02-14 23:38:33] * Apricot_Tarts approaches one of the merchants. "Hello. I wanted ask, where one might be able to purchase weapons. For personal protection of course."
- [2014-02-14 23:39:08] * Black_Tea "They are not selling anything to satisfy my needs anyway." He said and continues to follow the duo. "As far as I could see anyway..."
- [2014-02-14 23:41:33] <KendallKun> 4 The merchant, who is surrounded by various vegetables, stares at Apricot_Tarts, ".... best I can offer is a carrot."
- [2014-02-14 23:42:29] * Apricot_Tarts smiles "Have a nice day", and leaves "Well, that could've gone better."
- [2014-02-14 23:42:35] <Iris> "I'll take a carrot," Iris says.
- [2014-02-14 23:42:50] * Iris She walked over to collect her extremely obvious friend... but /carrots/!~
- [2014-02-14 23:43:25] <KendallKun> 4 "Fifteen credits."
- [2014-02-14 23:44:46] * Iris thinks that sounds exorbitant, but she's not sure...
- [2014-02-14 23:45:14] <Iris> "Uh... on second thought, maybe later."
- [2014-02-14 23:45:24] * Fleet_Fortune does take a quick look over some of the more... flashy items. They won't be here forever, so maybe she can come back later and pick up a little something to sell back home. She doesn't dawdle too long, though.
- [2014-02-14 23:47:41] <KendallKun> 4 Several items of jewelry catch Fleet_Fortune's eye, though most are overpriced tack either way.
- [2014-02-14 23:48:54] * Fleet_Fortune makes a mental note to come back and talk to the shopkeepers later on. She has ways of driving the price down!
- [2014-02-14 23:49:21] * Iris goes with Apricot back to the group. No carrots for purplepone...
- [2014-02-14 23:50:23] * Ginger_Ails finds himself sticking more with Black Hooves and Blue Skies as the group mingles a bit.
- [2014-02-14 23:52:15] * Black_Tea wispers to Ginger_Ails. "Mares and shopping, give them some time. We all have been through harsh stuff"
- [2014-02-14 23:54:01] * Apricot_Tarts nods "We should go. We can have some fun later. For now we must help those who cannot help themselves."
- [2014-02-14 23:54:08] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves glares at Black_Tea, Blue Skies smiling at the stallion, "It would be best if you shut up right now. Blacky isn't in the best of moods."
- [2014-02-14 23:54:11] * Iris would not appreciate being stereotyped.
- [2014-02-14 23:56:35] * Apricot_Tarts would check her weapons, but she's in a crowded place so she remains still
- [2014-02-14 23:57:01] * Ginger_Ails gives the mare a glance. "Understandable, an entire city built on your backs, and not a one with the proper amount of appreciation."
- [2014-02-14 23:59:29] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves nods at Ginger_Ails, "You're damn fucking right. These pigs walk all over us, The Forger and his cronies are just one part of that. We used to have equal trade in the Outer, now he raids our supplies while demanding more money from up top, refusing to trade equally because weapons apparently matter more."
- [2014-02-15 00:01:20] * Apricot_Tarts comes up behind the gang bosses "I promise we'll take care of him."
- [2014-02-15 00:02:31] * Ginger_Ails snorts. "'Might makes right', makes me sick. He gives a smile and whispers "Indeed, we're just what you need to take care of him without getting your hooves dirty... There's probably a joke there, but I think I'll leave it be."
- [2014-02-15 00:03:14] * Apricot_Tarts giggles "Ironically I feel slightly at home in this situation."
- [2014-02-15 00:03:25] * Black_Tea "you've built them a status quo they are used to, they do not fear you to take it away from them again, so they take it for granted. But Honor to whom Honor is due."
- [2014-02-15 00:04:57] * Fleet_Fortune trots up behind Ginger_Ails and Black Hooves. "I'm more of a fan of free market myself."
- [2014-02-15 00:06:03] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves nods, almost cracking a smile, "Give 'em hell." Blue Skies looks as cheery as ever, leading the group onwards, "Time's awasting, let's move ponies."
- [2014-02-15 00:06:50] * Apricot_Tarts picks up the pace "This is gonna get ugly, I can feel it."
- [2014-02-15 00:07:20] * Iris stays silent.
- [2014-02-15 00:08:06] * Ginger_Ails nods. "You can say that again, but if we have to swim through the wetwork, that's what we'll do." He lightly bumps Apricot_Tarts' shoulder with his, solidarity.
- [2014-02-15 00:09:28] * Apricot_Tarts bumps back "I mean we're pretty much flying blind here."
- [2014-02-15 00:11:00] <KendallKun> % Blue Skies replies to Apricot_Tarts, "We know enough for us to start. It's better than nothing."
- [2014-02-15 00:11:58] <Apricot_Tarts> "What do we know?"
- [2014-02-15 00:13:11] * Black_Tea looks around the crowd. "Wrong place, wrong time to discuss plans, isn't it?"
- [2014-02-15 00:13:39] <Apricot_Tarts> "Then what do you suggest, Private?"
- [2014-02-15 00:14:57] * Black_Tea "I believe Lady Black Hooves already has a destination in mind."
- [2014-02-15 00:15:21] <KendallKun> 4 "We know where, we know who's holding them, how many and we know how to get them out. That's enough for the moment."
- [2014-02-15 00:15:45] * Apricot_Tarts blinks, then nods.
- [2014-02-15 00:16:44] * Fleet_Fortune gives an earnest grin. "As long as we be careful and don't do anything completely stupid, we should be fine!"
- [2014-02-15 00:16:48] * Ginger_Ails gives a predatory grin. "Let's get to it then. Sooner we get done, the sooner we can get back home and I can turn green, or blue, or whatever color is in that box."
- [2014-02-15 00:20:01] <KendallKun> 4 The two gang leaders herd the group onwards along the streets, and after about half an hour of walking, they arrive in front of a rather imposing building. A sign helpfully identifies it as "Authority Detainment and Interrogation Center"
- [2014-02-15 00:20:32] <Apricot_Tarts> "Fancy name for a prison."
- [2014-02-15 00:22:30] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies looks at the place with a grim face, "Prison isn't the word. Ponies eventually get let out of a prison. Alright, follow me in and whatever you do, don't give anything away."
- [2014-02-15 00:22:43] <Iris> "I think it's probably more of a torture chamber, Apricot," Iris says.
- [2014-02-15 00:22:59] * Apricot_Tarts nods
- [2014-02-15 00:23:31] * Ginger_Ails follows silently along. He hopes the plan doesn't involve 'We're here to deliver this zebra.' He frowns and tries to shrink in the middle of the group.
- [2014-02-15 00:24:12] * Iris would begin cracking heads and flinging scoops of brain-matter if that was the case.
- [2014-02-15 00:25:15] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies leads the group inside the building, the door opening to a single stallion sat behind a computer screen. A large cell door is to his right, as well as a security camera trained on the spot just in front of him.
- [2014-02-15 00:26:17] * Apricot_Tarts stays silent and looks neutral
- [2014-02-15 00:26:56] * Black_Tea looks if he can stays out of the camera's view.
- [2014-02-15 00:27:07] * Fleet_Fortune sticks near Blue Skies. It's probably best to look like one of his ponies.
- [2014-02-15 00:28:01] * Iris acts nonchalant, suited-up in her heavy, trophy-adorned armor.
- [2014-02-15 00:29:53] <KendallKun> 4 The stallion looks up at the group, snorting at Blue Skies and Black Hooves, "What do you want?" Blue Skies leans closer to him, speaking quickly and quietly before turning around, "Doctors, would you mind looking at the list and choosing the best candidates?" He gestures to Black_Tea and Ginger_Ails as he says this.
- [2014-02-15 00:30:40] <KendallKun> 4 There is no way Black_Tea can not be in the camera's view without destroying the camera or being in a very obvious position.
- [2014-02-15 00:32:10] * Ginger_Ails nods. "Absolutely." He melds into his role and looks for the list.
- [2014-02-15 00:33:05] * Ginger_Ails levitates the list over when he finds it so that he and Black_Tea can find the names of the survivors.
- [2014-02-15 00:35:21] * Black_Tea contains himself as he reads the list with names of his comrades and their meaningless statisics which have no importance to the values of their lifes...
- [2014-02-15 00:38:17] * Ginger_Ails hmmms and nods as he looks. Spotting a few names he recognizes. "A wide selection to choose from. There are quite a few excellent candidates. I'd like to choose a variety, better to see what sticks over multiple genders and physical attributes. How many can we have?"
- [2014-02-15 00:38:42] <KendallKun> 4 The stallion shrugs, "As many as you want."
- [2014-02-15 00:40:01] <KendallKun> 4 As they gaze over the list, Ginger_Ails and Black_Tea find the names of the ten other NCR survivors. However, three have already been taken out of the prison. Black_Tea notices that those three are all pegasi.
- [2014-02-15 00:41:44] * Ginger_Ails confers with Black_Tea. "Which do you like?"
- [2014-02-15 00:45:05] * Black_Tea "I concure with your suggestion of taking a wider range of physical attributes." He sighes and looks up to the ceiling, giving a mad-scientist impression. "Only 50 at our disposal..." He shook his head. "No that won't do..."
- [2014-02-15 00:45:33] * Black_Tea He looked at the list again, then took a pen from the guards desk and marked out ten names. "Only ten for now."
- [2014-02-15 00:46:39] * Ginger_Ails quickly looks over the seven names of NCR survivors. He looks at their statistics and starts pairing them up with other names on the lists with similar statistics but opposite genders. He jots them down. "Here's my suggestions. 14 individuals, 7 pairs of similar traits." Best to have it not be obvious all the ones they are taking are nabbed from the same pool.
- [2014-02-15 00:49:36] <KendallKun> 4 The stallion gives an impatient cough.
- [2014-02-15 00:50:40] * Ginger_Ails scribbles some quick, chicken-scratch medical notes about probable genetics near the names they are choosing. So it will look more official.
- [2014-02-15 00:51:17] * Ginger_Ails levitates it the list of 14 over to the stallion when he's finished. "These will do."
- [2014-02-15 00:53:14] * Black_Tea nods. "Ten earth ponies, we are most... durable. and four Unicorns for good measure, magic's always complicated."
- [2014-02-15 00:54:15] <KendallKun> 4 The stallion looks down at them, and starts to type them up into his computer, "Alright. They'll be released and escorted to the tier gate by this evening. Make sure your lot are ready to collect them, Doctors. Good day."
- [2014-02-15 00:54:54] * Ginger_Ails has it click when Black_Tea says it. "Shame we don't have any pegasi subjects. Why aren't there any on the list?"
- [2014-02-15 00:55:39] * Black_Tea "probably because..." He looks at the stallion. "What clearance do you have?"
- [2014-02-15 00:58:20] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies looks alarmed at Black_Tea's comment, the stallion behind the computer not even glancing, "Higher than you. And there were, but they've been already collected. Good day."
- [2014-02-15 00:59:16] * Black_Tea narrows his eyes. "Certainly..."
- [2014-02-15 00:59:50] * Ginger_Ails gives a nod and moves back into the group. He certainly didn't want to upset anypony.
- [2014-02-15 01:02:06] * Apricot_Tarts waits at the entrance
- [2014-02-15 01:02:58] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves motions for the group to leave as Blue Skies approaches the desk. He has a whispered conversation with the stallion, looking extremely alarmed towards the end.
- [2014-02-15 01:03:22] * Apricot_Tarts tries to listen in
- [2014-02-15 01:03:36] * Ginger_Ails tries to listen in. All this whispering gives him the creeps, but he isn't about to look like he's eavesdropping either.
- [2014-02-15 01:04:43] * Fleet_Fortune eyes Blue Skies with a little worry as she leaves. This is what Ginger_Ails was telling her about... so it definitely concerns her. And here was undeniable proof that something is going on she needs to be worried about!
- [2014-02-15 01:07:24] <KendallKun> 4 Through sheer luck, Apricot_Tarts manages to pick out the best parts of the conversation. Blue Skies asked the stallion about the missing pegasi, to which the stallion responded that medical district had already collected them under the authority of Vanity and Wax. It is at these names that Blue Skies looks alarmed.
- [2014-02-15 01:09:04] * Apricot_Tarts notes the names in her memory to ask Blue Skies later.
- [2014-02-15 01:09:16] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies leaves the desk at that, trotting towards the exit and herding the others out on to the street.
- [2014-02-15 01:10:00] * Apricot_Tarts trots outside, but remains silent
- [2014-02-15 01:10:13] * Black_Tea follows
- [2014-02-15 01:10:44] * Ginger_Ails follows as well, excited to be seemly finished without getting shot in the head.
- [2014-02-15 01:13:57] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves looks around, "Well, that went smoother than expected."
- [2014-02-15 01:14:24] * Fleet_Fortune waits for Blue Skies to return to the group before asking, "So, what was that about? What did he say?"
- [2014-02-15 01:15:07] <Apricot_Tarts> "They were already taken by Vanity and Wax. Whoever that may be."
- [2014-02-15 01:16:05] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies looks rather angry and worried, more so when the names are spoken. Black Hooves turns towards Blue, glaring death, "... is that true?"
- [2014-02-15 01:18:45] <KendallKun> 4 As Blue Skies nods, he is thrown to the ground by a well placed kick from Black Hooves. She snorts and storms off, "You're fucking useless!"
- [2014-02-15 01:19:54] * Ginger_Ails gives Apricot_Tarts a quick glance. "I'll catch up, see you at the hideout." He trots after Black Hooves. Dangerous, maybe, but this could be useful to them.
- [2014-02-15 01:20:09] * Apricot_Tarts nods "Don't be late."
- [2014-02-15 01:21:58] * Black_Tea "That was rather emotional. Care to explain?"
- [2014-02-15 01:22:29] <Apricot_Tarts> "Yeah, this seems like we should know it."
- [2014-02-15 01:24:59] * Fleet_Fortune helps Blue Skies back to his hooves.
- [2014-02-15 01:25:52] * Iris just looks on.
- [2014-02-15 01:25:58] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies gets up, nodding to Fleet_Fortune, "It's bad news, really bad. Short version, your friends have just been acquired by two deranged Earth ponies for their experiments. Ponies that I personally taught before they obtained their evil, unworldly obsession."
- [2014-02-15 01:27:56] <Apricot_Tarts> "So we shift our focus and get them out. Sounds like we're doing the city a favor as well."
- [2014-02-15 01:29:00] * Black_Tea "See it from that side. You made monsters, and now you have more reason to ged rid of them."
- [2014-02-15 01:29:55] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies nods, "Alright... you do this, and I'll give you something you can't put a price on."
- [2014-02-15 01:30:43] <Apricot_Tarts> "Where are they and what can we expect?"
- [2014-02-15 01:34:10] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies starts trotting hurriedly, "In the industrial district, and by the Third, even I don't know what to expect this time."
- [2014-02-15 01:34:31] <KendallKun> 4 End session
- [2014-02-15 01:35:25] <KendallKun> 4 The group earns 500 XP for getting some of their friends out
