Session Start: ti aug 14 21:41:19 2012
[21:41] * Ace swoops up out of range of Puzzlers grasp, gracefully dodging his attempt to tag him. Over the last half hour of flying Puzzler had made ubeliveable progress but Ace was still easily better than him. The white pegusus chuckles to himself, "Nice try kid but your lungeing to much, let your wings do the work!"
[21:41] ->> Ace is [email protected] (lightIRC.com Flash IRC Client)
[21:41] ->> Ace is on: #FalloutEquestria #FalloutEquestriaDice2 #FalloutEquestriaPNP2

[21:41] ->> Ace :End of /WHOIS list.
[21:49] * Puzzler struggles to keep his wings working, using the airstreams as best he can to keep up with Ace. His coat would be slick with sweat if it wasnt for the cold, he has a wide smile on his face though as he tries to tag Ace. "I'm trying! You are to q-quick!" He flaps his wings even harder and races for the other pegasus.
[21:51] * Ace back flips and flaps further away, clearly not going nearly as fast as he can to give Puzzler a shance. "Oh im not that quick, not as quick as some others I have seen before".
[21:53] * Puzzler struggles to keep up still. Even fluttershy would beat him! "There are others!? H-how many are there? I've only seen you and.. " He swallows hard and shakes his head to clear it from the mental image of the dead pegasus they buried beneeth the tower.
[21:54] <Ace> Ace turns and circles puzzler, gliding on a updraft. "Others? You mean like other Pegusus?", he asks.
[21:55] * Puzzler follows Ace on another updraft, pushing his body to the limit to speed up. "Yes! O-others, like us."
[21:59] * Ace points a hoof up to the looming dark coulds overhead, "Same place they allways have been. above the clouds". Slowing down slightly Ace fixes Puzzler with a strick look, "But if I were you I would steer clear of them, they dont want anythig to do with anything from below there clouds. I have seen better Pegusus than you or I try and make it up there and fail, its like the whole place is in lockdown. There are a few of us down here, eithe
[22:02] <Ace> There are a few of us down here, either by birth or choice but for the most part were alone".
[22:06] * Puzzler looks up at the cloud curtain. He winces at the look he gets and nods slowly. "Oh.. S-so.. We are alone. I.. I wont try to go up there. But I have to know.. What.. What is up there?" He says, giving the clouds a longing look.
[22:09] * Ace shrugs once again, "Beats me kid, my flight teacher told me a bit about it once but he wasnt exactly hot on talking about it after they kicked him out". Once again Ace looks up at the clouds before looking back down to Puzzler, "From what I remember they got a whole civilization up there, untouched by the poison down here".
[22:13] * Puzzler flies a little closer to Ace, giving the clouds another curious look. Mumbling. "A entire civilization huh..." She places his hoof on Aces flank. "Tag!" He smirks folding his wings and dives for the ground, going faster then he had before.
[22:15] * Ace blinks, a confused look on his face. "Hey!", he calls out in his strange accent before diving after Puzzler, "Thats Cheating boy!".
[22:17] * Puzzler keeps diving towards the ground. Glad for the goggles keeping the wind out of his eyes. Pulling up at the last second before stumbling in the air, spinning around. "I couln't c-catch you a-any other way!" He shouts back at Ace.
[22:20] * Ace pulls up from his dive as well but misses his mark a bit and flys past Puzzler, shakeing a hoof at him. "You crafty Colt you!", Ace smiles and sticks his tounge out at him as he changes course.
[22:22] * Puzzler turns slowly. He could use some practice! He felt like a completely different pony in the air. Not the scared one he was on the ground. "I.. I had to do  something!" She flaps his wings hard, trying to stay away from Ace.
[22:24] <Puzzler> He* Dammit))
[22:24] * Ace spins and climbs, building up speed as he decends and catching up with Puzzler, stoping just short of him with his hoof raised. With a smiles he pats Puzzler on the back and girns, "Well you sure got the better of me, looks like your the winner! now how about we go down and see violet, I know she is eager to get up here with us in that Griffon chaser!"
[22:24] <Ace> lol
[22:26] * Puzzler pants heavily and nods. "S-sure! I n-need a break..!" He starts to descent towards the ground.
[22:28] * Ace is now known as DontAskForGM
* Ace is now known as DontAskForGM
[22:29] <+DontAskForGM> Ace lands next to the griffon chaser and begins to shake of the snow clinging to his leather jacket before raising the googles high up on his aviators cap, "Well that was good fun!".
[22:29] * Violet probably dozed off in the pilot's seat
[22:31] * Puzzler shakes the snow off himself and puts his own goggles on the top of his head. Smiling wide at Ace. "Yeah! We have to do this a-again sometime!"
[22:31] * Toll_Booth ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[22:32] <+DontAskForGM> Ace wistles to a crew of five ponies who have been loitering out in the yard, watching the proformance of the to pegasus. With a motion of his hoof the start to mount up in the Griffon chaser. Turning to Puzzler Ace nods, a wide grin on his face. "Absolutely kid, some of the most fun I have had in weeks!".
[22:32] * Toll_Booth is now known as Trefoil
[22:33] <+DontAskForGM> The Griffon chaser crew start to climb aboard, none to quietly and not minding if they disterb the dozing Violet.
[22:34] * Cranberry_Cookie ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[22:34] * Puzzler moves inside the Griffin Chaser aswell. Making sure to stay away from the rest of the crew. He wraps the scarf closer. It was cold!
[22:34] * Violet wakes up with a jolt. She didn't mean to doze off, but well...Puzzler and Ace were off doing their own thing and she was bored.
[22:36] * Violet pokes her head above the top of the pilots seat to look at the sudden commotion behind her
[22:36] <+DontAskForGM> Ace climbs into the pilots seat next to Violet who was settled in the co pilots seat, seeing her jolt awake he smiles and winks. "We wernt to dull were we? I usually pride myself on giving a good show!"
[22:37] <+DontAskForGM> Behind Violet The crew are setting themselves up at various benches, preparing to peddle on a giant version of the same sort of engine in the APC.
[22:37] * Violet shrugs "As much as I love the fact that Puzzler's learning to fly...well, I got a little bored just sitting here."
[22:38] * Puzzler moves his  way over to the Ace and Violet, giving Vi a gentle but VERY cold nuzzle. "It.. Its okay, Ace said you will be f-flying with me soon."
[22:39] * Violet smiles and nuzzles Puzzler back, not nearly as cold but hey she fell asleep out here it not much more than her security barding. "I guess so."
[22:39] <+DontAskForGM> Ace nods and pulls down a radio speaker and pugs a loose wire from his aviators cap into the control concile, "Well that wont last much longer, you ready to get a closer look at the sky?". Behind him the crew were also donning similar caps with built in radios, Ace motions to one at Violets hooves, "You may want to put that on".
[22:41] * Violet nods and puts the cap on
[22:41] * Puzzler fidgets and searches for someplace to sit where he woulnt be in the way.
[22:42] <+DontAskForGM> Ace taps the side of his cap and calls out over the radio, "Can sompony run up a moblie unit for our friend with the wings?". Shortly afterwards one of the crew arrives near the front and hoofs over a head set to Puzzler hooke up to what looks like a small steel box with a clip on it.
[22:43] <+DontAskForGM> Ace leans back, "The engine gets loud kid, we need the radios to talk. That there is a moblie unit to strap on your barding, its there in case you want to jump out at any point and do some free flying and still talk".
[22:46] * Puzzler takes the headset with a curious look. Donning it akwardly and  puts the little box where it should go on his barding. Nodding. "Oh, okay.. Sure." He smiles.
[22:46] * Violet smiles at Puzzler then turns back around and settles back down into the chair
[22:48] <+DontAskForGM> Ace smiles and begins to start preping for take off, spending the next few minutes checking guages and chatting with the crew and ocasionally pointing out a small detail to Violet. Finally after some work Ace nods, "Time to get airborn". Tiliting his stick and working some peddles the Griffon chaser starts to lift up off the ground.
[22:49] * Violet pays attention intently to everything Ace points out and gets a little excited when they start to lift off
[22:50] * Puzzler stumbles in the Griffinchaser, deciding to just sit down where he was. Scrunchies his face, damn that floor was cold!
[22:53] <+DontAskForGM> Ace lifts the bird up into the air and over the ski resort, giving them a good view of the surrounding area. Down below they can now make out several more military style tents and even a few more land vehicals parked nearby.
[22:54] <+DontAskForGM> Ace strains at the controlls to pull the Griffon chaser around and circile around the groups base, "Like I said, this bird is not lacking in power but is a bitch to manuver properly".
[22:54] * Violet looks down at them "You use the tents and stuff down there or are you mostly based out of the resort here?"
[22:56] <+DontAskForGM> Ace glances down, sticking his head out of the side of the Griffon chaser. "Oh, those old things? Mostly we use them for storage. They were here when we found the place. Apparently after the war a platoon of soldiers retreated here and bunked down for a spell".
[22:57] <+DontAskForGM> "Well when they found the place, I came along later but that is what they told me about them".
[22:57] * Violet nods "I see."
[22:59] <+DontAskForGM> Ace pulls his head back in, "We cant stay up here to much longer, dont want to put to much strain on her for just a joy ride but while we have the time...". Ace leans over and throws a few switches, the joystick in front of Violet unlocks, "You want a few lessons?".
[23:00] * Violet nodnods "Sure!"
[23:01] <+DontAskForGM> Ace begins to give her the basics of manuvering the craft, descibing what each of the Peddles did and some of the more important guages. After some time explaining everything Ace lifts a brow, "You ready to give it a try?"
[23:02] * Violet fidgets nervously and nods "If you're willing to let me, certainly."
[23:03] <+DontAskForGM> Ace points at his controlls, "I can take over any time if its to much for you so just relax and get ready for a work out, This thing fights you evey step of the way".
[23:04] * Violet nods understandingly "Alright." She wiggles to loosen some of the tension building in her and takes ahold of the stick
[23:04] * Cranberry_Cookie is now known as Lemon_Cookie
[23:06] <+DontAskForGM> The stick vibrates and shifts, wanting to move in her grasp, the Griffon chaser moving slightly along with it.
[23:06] * Puzzler eyes them both curiously. "Y-you can do it Vi!"
[23:08] * Violet frowns and tightens her hold on the stick trying to stop it from juking around in her grasp. Ace had mentioned it but she'd never expected it to be that...annoying.
[23:09] <+DontAskForGM> one of the crew radios in, "Everything alright up there? Were getting some tilt back here". Ace responds, "Dont worry, we got it under conrol", silencing his radio he looks at Violet, "Dont we?". His voice is maybe a bit more sceptical than he wanted.
[23:10] * Violet nods "Sorry. I didn't expect it to be that hard. I guess it comes from mostly piloting land vehicles." she tilts the joystick to right everything
[23:12] * Violet tilts the stick to maneuver around, attempt to mimic Ace and put what he'd shown her so far to the test, a small smile tugging at the edges her her lips
[23:13] <+DontAskForGM> Ace holds his hooves ready to take control of his joystick, nodding to Violet. "well go ahead then, show this bird whos boss!". Feeling the Griffon chaser level out he smiles, "Thats it, you got to fight against the wind, its not like that moble fort you ponies are used to driving around!"
[23:13] * Puzzler gives a cheer as Violet moves the Griffin Chaser around.
[23:15] * Violet nods, concentrating on the feeling of the wind pushing against the chaser as she tries to hold the stick steady
[23:16] <+DontAskForGM> Ace kicks up his hooves and leans back from the controls, "You got this covered miss, no need for me to interfear none".
[23:16] * Violet smiles
[23:17] <@Violet> "I guess I was a little nervous for nothing." she does a slow circuit around the resort before turning to Ace "alright. like you said, don't want to put too much strain on it for a joy ride, right?"
[23:19] * Puzzler fidgets, standing up. "I.. I'll go outside now.. Uh, open the hatch, p-please?"
[23:21] <+DontAskForGM> Ace nods, "Thats right, but It would be a shame to waste this oportunity to do some real flying". Ace turns around and winks at Puzzler, "My thoughts exactly". Reaching ovre Ace opens up the pilot door for Puzzler. "Hey any chance you are comfortable giving V a ride? Show of how stron your wings are?".
[23:22] * Puzzler looks raises a eyebrow at Ace, then looking back at Violet.. "Uh.. D-do you want to come with me. Vi?" He smiles at her.
[23:25] * Violet fidgets and blushes "Um. Alright."
[23:27] <+DontAskForGM> Ace smiles and throws a swtich, resuming his control over the Griffon chaser, "Go ahead and head down, Ill catch up with you two later at the main building. Feel free to head in, a pony can catch his death out in this cold".
[23:27] * Puzzler unwraps his scarf and wraps it around Violet instead. "H-here, take this.. Its cold.." He gives her a gentle nuzzle before moving up to the door. Waiting for her to.. Climb up on his back?
[23:29] * Violet smiles into the scarf and nods at ace before climb out of the seat and going over to Puzzler to carefully climb up onto his back, wrapping her forelegs around his neck carefully.
[23:29] <+DontAskForGM> Ace gives them a salute. "Happy flying you two!"
[23:30] * Puzzler nods. Looking up at Violet. "Alright, here we go!" He flares his wings and leaps out of the Griffinchaser.
[23:30] * Violet squees
[23:32] * Puzzler stumbles in the air, adjusting to the added weight, straining hard he flaps his wings, finding a stream of air, riding it for a while before starting to slowly circle down towards the yard again. He smiles wide.
[23:33] * Violet smiles into Puzzler's neck, trying not to look down, honestly, but enjoying the wind going past her nonetheless.
[23:38] * Puzzler just enjoys the flight down to the ground in silence. Blushing a little but still smiling wide. Flapping his wings hard just as they reach the ground to not get a hard landing before folding them at his sides.. Giving Violets hoof a gentle nuzzle. "N-now we can both fly. Whenever we want to."
[23:41] * Violet smiles and nuzzles Puzzler's neck before sliding off his back and throwing her forelegsback around him in a hug "That was awesome!"
[23:45] * Puzzler flaps his wings and hugs Violet back. "Yeah! B-but cold!" he grins and nuzzles Violet. "Y-you want to go i-inside?"
[23:45] * Violet nodnods, shivering a little
[23:46] * Puzzler nods "Okay then.. C-coffee?"
[23:47] <@Violet> "Sounds good."

[00:24] <+DontAskForGM> Group to start soon
[00:24] * Violet sets mode +vvv Blue_Bolt Steel_Inoccence Trefoil for #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[00:25] <+DontAskForGM> Outside the amazingly presureved Ski lodge the characters have rested and recieved medical treatment in the past 12 hours the Griffon chaser lands near the military tents from the ride it had just given to Puzzler and Violet.
[00:27] <+DontAskForGM> Inside Bule bolt is just comeing downstairs from a long nights rest, he had recieved treatment for his dog bites and slept through the worst of the blizzard last night. His leg is well bandaged, outside teh windows he can see that it is already nearly mid day.
[00:27] <+DontAskForGM> Group 10 starts now
[00:27] * Gizmo is up in near the top of the building, looking out the window into the mountains
[00:28] * Violet is with Puzzler heading back inside to get some warm delicious coffee to...warm...themselves with...obviously.
[00:28] <+Blue_Bolt> "... wow. How long was I out?" Bolt mutters to himself, rubbing an eye with a hoof.
[00:28] * Trefoil sits in her wheelchair in the dining room, waiting for any sign of Steel cake.
[00:30] <+DontAskForGM> Ocasionally a pony in a black jumpsuit with a yellow 23 on it passes Blue bolt in the hall, mostly ignoring him but ocasionally giving him a curious glance.
[00:30] <+Trefoil> Rather, Steel's */surprise/
[00:30] * DontAskForGM suddenly a voice comes from behind Gizmo, "Pretty, isnt it?"
[00:31] * Steel_Inoccence pokes her head out of the kitchen, seeing Trefoil back. She giggles and whooshes back inside after the cake.
[00:31] * Puzzler moves towards teh dining hall together with Violet to get that coffee. He removes the headset from his head and puts it in his saddlebags as they trott.
[00:31] * Gizmo turns around. "Yeah. It makes a stallion think too much."
[00:32] <@Violet> "So are you can happy you can fly now?"
[00:32] * Blue_Bolt begins to explore the ski resort, checking entrances, exits, hallways, looking for maps, etc.
[00:32] * Trefoil stares at the wall, reflecting on her conversation with Gizmo.
[00:33] <+DontAskForGM> The owner of the voice steps forward and joins Gizmo next to him at the window. "Lots of peace up here, to bad its mostly inhospitable or it would be a great place to live... if you like the cold that is".
[00:33] <+DontAskForGM> The pony talking to Gizmo is none other than Steady pulse, awake and clearly refresed from a long sleep.
[00:33] * Puzzler nearly bounces with excitment "Yeah! Its amazing its so..so.. Different. Don't you think?" He smiles wide.
[00:34] * Steel_Inoccence comes back carrying a large, beautiful rum cake. She sets it at Trefoil's table. "Surprise!"
[00:34] * Gizmo laughs dryly. "It's too bad I don't plan on staying here. And I doubt the others have much of a plan to be here either."
[00:34] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
[00:35] <+DontAskForGM> Blue bolt eventually finds his way downstairs where he smells the feint smell of baked goods, similar to the caffeteria at stable 22 a few hours after breakfast.
[00:35] * Trefoil 's eyes go wide!  She hasn't had cake of any kind since, well, since she was a foal.  Looking up at the large mare, shocked, "S-Steel!?"
[00:35] * Violet nods and happily nuzzles Puzzler's neck "It's exhilarating!"
[00:36] <+DontAskForGM> Steadies face grimaces, "Im sorry to hear that, I truly am. I hope that this decision isnt do to one of our own being a good host..."
[00:36] * Blue_Bolt lets his dazed wandering take him towards the smell of baked goods. He follows the scent slowly but surely.
[00:36] * Puzzler nods and nuzzles Violet back. His happyness almost radiating from him. "I just.. I've been dreaming Vi.. Dreaming of being able to since.. Ah well, since forever."
[00:37] <+DontAskForGM> Violet and Puzzler can hear the sounds of Steel and Trefoils voice coming from the caffeteria.
[00:37] * Gizmo shakes his head. "No no no. You've been great. I personally need to do something. The others have their own goals."
[00:37] * Steel_Inoccence smiles wide. "I did it for you. And it has the rum that you like too! And I did all things to make it very, very special."
[00:38] <+DontAskForGM> Eventually the smell leads Blue bolt to a large ding area with many long tables and benches reside. In the dining hall area few stragerls enjoying hot drinks as well as a few of the ponies from stable 22 you met yesterday.
[00:39] * Trefoil is stunned, "Th-This is amazing S-Steel!  I-I h-haven't had c-cake in, y-years!  R-Rum c-cake you s-said?"
[00:39] * Trefoil she sniffs the cake
[00:39] * Steel_Inoccence nod-nods.
[00:39] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods before looking around, "Well I still hope to talk you out of it, I try my best to sheild ponies from the worst of the waste... Say, you dont know where the rest of your companions are do you?".
[00:39] <+Trefoil> "F-For me?"
[00:39] * Violet smiles and kisses Puzzler lightly "I'm so happy for you, Puzzler. We'll have to go flying again some time."
[00:40] * Steel_Inoccence nod-nods, taking a step away.
[00:40] <+Gizmo> "I know Trefoil and Steel are down in the cafeteria. Puzzler and Violet were outside with some of your ponies last I saw. I dont know where Hospice and Blue Bolt are."
[00:40] * Blue_Bolt heads to gets himself some breakfast -- lunch? -- first. Brain food required. He looks about the dining area, trying to get a sense of how this mess hall operates.
[00:40] * Puzzler kisses Violet back, flapping his wings a couple of times. Blushing slightly as they enter the cafeteria.
[00:41] <+Puzzler> "We will!"
[00:41] <+DontAskForGM> Stready nods, "I dont expect you will see hospice up and about yet, when she go here we checked her out and whatever sort of magic she was doing really put a strain on her. She needs lots of rest".
[00:42] * Steel_Inoccence looks down.
[00:42] <+Trefoil> "W-Would you like a p-piece, S-Steel?"
[00:42] * Blue_Bolt He straightens his vestment while watching how these ponies go about getting their food.
[00:43] <+DontAskForGM> The dining hall has sevreal tables and benches as well as a small counter with 5 pots of coffee warming on cooking trays. A mare near double doors leading to what must be the kitchen has just finished erasing a chalk board hanging on the wall and is listing the new lunch menue.
[00:43] * Steel_Inoccence nod-nods.
[00:43] * Trefoil thinks for a second, "And m-maybe y-you want to s-save s-some f-for everypony else out?"
[00:43] * Gizmo nods. "I understand." He looks at Steady. "So then, I see your Stable seems to be fairing better than ours is right now."
[00:44] <+Steel_Inoccence> "That is nice too. But you can eat. I make all cakes you want."
[00:45] <+DontAskForGM> Steady scofs at this then raises a hoof, "Sorry, that was rude. I didnt mean anything by it but... this is hardly a stable, we only have thirty four ponies hear and only two thirds of that number were ever from stable 23".
[00:45] * Blue_Bolt heads for the mare, keen on getting some information.
[00:46] * Steel_Inoccence seems smaller right now, for some reason.
[00:46] <+DontAskForGM> The mare dosent seem to notice Blue bolt at first but eventual hears his approch. turning she spits out the chalk into a bucket and smiles. "Why hello there, you must be one of Steel's friends? Looking for a bite to eat are you?"
[00:47] <+Gizmo> "I apologize then for my inference." He says, his face still stoic. "I would ask you more on how you got here and such. But that information is better to be given to our whole group, not just me." he says.
[00:47] * Violet trots into the cafeteria alongside Puzzler
[00:48] <+Blue_Bolt> "Why, yes," Bolt says, smiling earnestly. "I am. Would you mind giving me some... instructions? Pointers? I'm afraid I've got very little idea how things operate here."
[00:48] * Puzzler starts moving up towards the table where Trefoil and Steel are. Taking a few deep breaths he moves up to them. "Uh, H-hey guys.. Oh! I is that a c-cake?!" He gawks at it for a few seconds, shaking his head.
[00:48] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods and turns from the window, "True, so should we go find them?"
[00:49] <+Gizmo> "Unless you have something you would like to specifically say to me."
[00:50] <+DontAskForGM> The mare smiles, "Well breakfast just ended nearly two hours ago and lunch starts in another hour, a late one mind you as most poines slept in during the blizzard. When lunch rolls around just have a seat at a table and wait for a pony to come take your order!".
[00:50] * Trefoil nods, "Y-yes.  It is.  Hi P-Puzzler, V-Vi.  How w-was f-flying?"
[00:50] * Trefoil waits for Steel to cut the cake
[00:50] <+DontAskForGM> Steady starts to trot down the hall from the window, "Nothing that I cand say while we walk".
[00:51] * Gizmo nods and follows him. "What would you like to ask or say?"
[00:51] <@Violet> "It was absolutely amazing Tre!"
[00:51] <+Blue_Bolt> "Thank you very much Miss--?"
[00:52] * Puzzler smiles wide and nuzzles Violet. "I-it was! I.. I can fly.." He mumbles that last party, its still sinking in.
[00:52] <+DontAskForGM> Stead shrugs, "I would only say to be carfule, whatever it is you want to do just be careful. Get as much information as you can, take it slow, rushing things can only lead to disaster".
[00:53] * Steel_Inoccence starts to cut it, though her jaw is a little shaky. She tries to keep her eyes on the cake as she moves closer, sometimes glancing at Trefoil and looking away.
[00:53] <+DontAskForGM> The mare smiels at Blue bolt and extends a hoof, "Sea, Seas bounty!. A pleasure to meet you!"
[00:54] * Trefoil winces.  Is she really that hard to look at?  In her heart, Tre knows the answer is yes.
[00:54] <+Gizmo> "Well, you can tell me any info you have on the slavers that took Power Cord."
[00:54] <+Trefoil> "C-Congrats W-Wings!"
[00:55] <+Blue_Bolt> "Blue Bolt," he says, tapping himself with a hoof before extending it to meet hers. "A pleasure to meet you too, Seas."
[00:55] <+DontAskForGM> Steady turns a corner, "Slavers? What do you want with them?".
[00:55] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
[00:55] <+Gizmo> "Like I said, they took my penpal, Power Cord. She means quite a bit to me."
[00:56] * Puzzler "Thank you, T-tre." He beams at her. Flapping his wings again. Giving Violet another nuzzle. "I-Ill get the c-coffee."
[00:56] <+DontAskForGM> Sea take the offerd hoof and gives it a gental shake before turning back to her bucket, "A pleasure Bolt, but if you excuse me I really need to get back to work".
[00:56] <+Trefoil> "You t-too V-Vi!  Glad y-ya'll had f-fun.... a lot of f-fun...."
[00:56] * Steel_Inoccence 's ears droop. "You don't like it?"
[00:57] <+Blue_Bolt> "Of course, but -- before you go -- is there any coffee left in those pots? I literally just got up," he says, laughing a little sheepishly near the end.
[00:57] * Trefoil was still waiting for her cake, "Hm?  N-Not like wh-what S-Steel?"
[00:58] * Violet takes a seat next to Trefoil and smiles, watching Puzzler
[00:58] <+DontAskForGM> steady seems to be in deep thought, "You dont say... well then you should probably talk wi-". Before he can finish his thought the same Mare from teh Griffon chaser yesterday night steps out into the hall, still adjusting her barding. "Oh, Vestment! Glad to see you, would you please come with me to find our guests?", asks Steady to the mare.
[00:58] * Steel_Inoccence shakily serves her cake. "You look sad. I can make other tasty things too."
[00:58] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment nods and falls in beside Steady, "Of course".
[00:59] * Gizmo is still follwing. "Who should I speak with?"
[00:59] <+DontAskForGM> Miss Sea nods, pointing over two the coffee pots, "sure is, and there may be a roll or two left in one of the baskets if you like".
[00:59] * Puzzler prances over to the coffee pots and pours two mugs. Still smiling, flicking his tail.
[01:00] <+Trefoil> "W-Well I haven't even g-gotten a ch-chance to t-try th-this t-tasty th-thing yet."
[01:00] <+Blue_Bolt> "Great! Thank you!"
[01:00] * Trefoil levitates a fork up to her cake
[01:01] <+DontAskForGM> Steady points to the mare, "Vestment", he says as if to explain everything. "She knows more about them than all of us, but like you said this might be info your whole group might like to hear".
[01:01] * Trefoil digs into the cake... with rum in it.  GENIUS
[01:02] <+DontAskForGM> Sea turns and resumes her work, finishing the sighn and moving back into the kitchen.
[01:02] * Gizmo nods. "Alright." He nods to Vestment. "Pleasure to meet you."
[01:02] * Blue_Bolt waves a short goodbye then heads over to grab himself a little grub.
[01:03] <+DontAskForGM> The pretty mare in the same black jumpsuit as everypony ells here nods with a smile, "Likewise".
[01:03] * Trefoil demolishes her first slice in 20 seconds flat.
[01:04] * Trefoil looks up at Steel with a pleading smile, "M-More c-cake?"
[01:04] <+Trefoil> "After y-you get some f-for y-yourself and everypony else."
[01:04] * Puzzler returns to the table with two steaming hot mugs of coffee, sitting down next to Violet he nuzzles one of the mugs over to her. "H-here you go."
[01:04] * Blue_Bolt He gets a cup of joe and grabs about three rolls. Hm. Bolt's had worse breakfasts.
[01:04] * Gizmo keeps walking. "I suppose you've been keeping watch over us, correct Steady?"
[01:05] * Violet smiles and nuzzles Puzzler "Thank you."
[01:05] <+Trefoil> "C-Cake V-Vi, W-Wings?"
[01:06] * Violet looks over at the cake with wide eyes, having been paying too much attention to Puzzler to notice it "Cake? There is a cake?"
[01:06] <+DontAskForGM> Steady opens his mouth to speak but is cut off by Vestment, "he wishes. when I told him about spoting you outside the stable he has been looking for you like a mad pony!".
[01:06] * Puzzler nods "Sure.. I'd.. Id like some, uhm.. D-do you, do you want some coffee. Tre?" He says, looking up at her giving a smile.
[01:06] * Steel_Inoccence opens a wide smile, nod-nodding. She takes another slice of the cake and moves closer to Trefoil to serve it.
[01:07] <+Gizmo> "You mean our group right?" Gizmo asks, a little sutnned at the energy of Vestment
[01:07] * Blue_Bolt scans the cafeteria for the other Stable 22 dwellers, then works his way over, one roll in his mouth, the other two and the coffee levitated up beside him.
[01:07] * Violet nodnods "I would love some cake..."
[01:08] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Huh?"
[01:09] <+DontAskForGM> Steady give Vestment a stern look, "well yes, all of you... well honestly I was mostly looking for steel but the rest of you were also a priority".
[01:10] * Gizmo nods. "Just like I thought." He looks ahead. "Let's get to the cafeteria
[01:10] * Blue_Bolt finds an opening in the crowd of ponies around some scrumptious looking cake and looks about at them.
[01:10] * Steel_Inoccence stares at Violet blankly of a moment. "Oh! Cake."
[01:10] <+Blue_Bolt> "Hello."
[01:11] * Trefoil sits patiently waiting for more cake.  She shakes her head, "No th-thanks P-Puzzler, I don't r-really l-like c-coffee."
[01:11] * Violet nodnods
[01:11] * Steel_Inoccence serves cake for everypony, starting with Trefoil.
[01:12] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods and pushes forward in slilence, Vestment fallows behind and wistles a tune as she trots.
[01:12] <+Blue_Bolt> "So," Bolt begins before taking an unoccupied spot. "... how is everypony?"
[01:12] * Gizmo follows quietly, thinking up a plan for himself later.
[01:13] * Puzzler nods. "Oh.. O-okay.." He fidgets and takes a sip of his coffee.
[01:13] * Violet nods at Blue_Bolt "Good. How are you doing? You were pretty banged up yourself when we found you."
[01:13] * Trefoil pauses in cake-nomming to nod at Blue_Bolt, "B-Blue B-Bolt, right?  Wh-What happened to y-you.... and how'd y-you get out h-here?"
[01:13] <+Steel_Inoccence> "I am... umm..." He looks back at Trefoil, then away.
[01:15] * Trefoil is now known as SupperTrefoil
[01:15] <+Blue_Bolt> "Well, I went off to get my dog bites treated... and then I collapsed asleep."
[01:15] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment leans close to Gizmo, wispering to him. "Dont take his silence personally, hes always so serious when there is work to do".
[01:15] <+Blue_Bolt> "I woke up about a half-hour ago and followed my nose towards food."
[01:16] * Gizmo nods and whispers back. "I know the feeling."
[01:16] * SupperTrefoil glances confused at Steel... mare's been acting weird lately.  She nods, "F-Feeling better th-then B-Blue?"
[01:16] <+Blue_Bolt> "All things considered, yeah. I'm feeling pretty good."
[01:17] <+SupperTrefoil> "G-Good," Tre mumbles, before turning her remaining eye to the remains of the delicious boozecake
[01:17] * Violet takes a sip of her coffe and smiles "That's good."
[01:18] * Violet swishes her tail over and wraps it around Puzzler's
[01:18] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment continues to wisper, "Oh so your used to serious types eh?"
[01:18] <+Blue_Bolt> "Thanks for asking," he says, smiling again before sighing and starting on another roll and his coffee.
[01:19] * Puzzler swallows his coffee hard, coughs a few times, blushing. He wraps his tail around Violets.
[01:19] <+Gizmo> "I am a serious type. For the most part." he whispers back.
[01:21] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment chuckles a bit, "Well I hope for your sake that you have a mare to lighten the mood ocasionally like he dose, otherwise life can be hard".
[01:22] * Gizmo shakes his head. "Nope. Closest thing to somepony i even care for is Power Cord and Steel." he whispers back.
[01:22] * Violet smiles and giggles into her cup of coffee, before taking a bite of the cake Steel presumably served her.
[01:23] * Blue_Bolt is almost hungry enough to have cake for breakfast. He doesn't have quite the sweet tooth he used to, but it still takes a little bit of effort to ignore it.
[01:24] * Violet shudders in delight "This cake is delicious~"
[01:25] * Blue_Bolt noms his rolls and drinks his coffee.
[01:25] * Puzzler is still blushing as he starts eating his cake, tugging gently at Violets tail. "Its really n-nice.." He smiles wide, glancing at Violet.
[01:26] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment looks like she is about to say something when they are interupted by another pony troting up behind them, it is one of the two ponies from earlier in the day, the colt. Turning he head around Vestment eyes him as he throws a slopy salute to Vestment, "Oh, hello Vestment!", he speeks up.
[01:27] * Gizmo tilts his head. "You look familar." He says.
[01:27] * Violet fidgets and glances at Puzzler smiling as she noms on her cake
[01:28] <+DontAskForGM> The colt nods, "We talked earlier today, about teh blueprints?"
[01:28] <+Gizmo> "Ah yes. Do you still have them?"
[01:30] <+DontAskForGM> The colt nods, "Yes, It was not the best design but we were able to make some adjustments to it. I just came to tell you that you can pick up the new copy whenever you like".
[01:31] * Gizmo nods happily. "Thank you. I'm sure you made a copy for yourselves here?"
[01:34] <+DontAskForGM> The colt nods, "Sure did!". Vestment looks between them, "What are you two talking about?"
[01:35] <+Gizmo> "Oh, Power Cord a long time ago had given me blueprints for a power generator, which I made in my stable for myself. Its not that strong. But I gave your ponies here a copy of it to advance the design and use it for other ponies."
[01:37] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles, "Oh, well that was nice of you? would you mind if I get a look at a copy?"
[01:38] * Gizmo smiles back. "Yeah. I don't. I'm sure this colt here can give you the advanced one."
[01:40] <+DontAskForGM> The colt nods and soon Vestment soon has a transfered copy of the new and improved Blueprints. His job done the colt smile and waves to Gizmo, "Well I have to go get some work done, see you around!"
[01:41] * Gizmo smiles and waves. "Good bye." he says, holding his own copy.
[01:48] <+DontAskForGM> The colt soon departs just as Vestment, Gizmo, and Steady turn onto the steps and begin to climb downstairs.
[01:49] * Gizmo looks at Vestment, whispering. "What were you about to say before that colt came?"
[01:50] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment shakes her head as she steps out onto the first floor with Steady and Gizmo, following the medic towards teh caffeteria. "Oh, I cant remember".
[01:51] <+Gizmo> "Well, if you do just please ask." He says as the approach the cafeteria
[01:52] * Steel_Inoccence seems rather distracted right now, looking at the cake she didn't even take a slice for herself. Or rather, looking beyond it, to wherever her mind is.
[01:54] <+DontAskForGM> Steady lead the group into the dinning area and looks around, easily spotting the group at teh table. Pausing a moment to watch them eat cake he smiles before walking over to the table, vestment following behind. "Good afternoon everypony".
[01:55] * Blue_Bolt looks up, ready to absorb information.
[01:55] * Violet looks up at Steady and nods in greeting, giving Puzzler's tail a little tug
[01:56] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment stops next to Steady and smiles, waving a hoof, "Hey everypony, sleep well?"
[01:57] * Gizmo trots around Steady and towards Steel, almost instantly noticing Steel's distracted behavior. "You okay?" he whispers to her.
[01:57] * Puzzler blushes more. Waving at Steady and Vestment. "M-morning."
[01:57] <+Blue_Bolt> "Hello."
[01:57] * Steel_Inoccence snaps out of her thoughts, "Oh, Steady, hi! Um... do you want cake? Hi Vestment. Umm... I'm okay, Gizmo."
[01:59] * Gizmo is still a little worried. "Okay..."
[01:59] <+DontAskForGM> Steady smiles genuinly at Steel, "Absolutely, just so long as there is enough".
[02:02] * Steel_Inoccence nod-nods. "I did a big cake." She smiles.
[02:03] * Puzzler nods and gives Violet another nuzzle. "It is very nice.."
[02:04] * Violet smiles at Steel_Inoccence "It tastes absolutely wonderful, Steel."
[02:05] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles, "Well I hope there is enough for me to have a bite, I havent had cake in over four years!".
[02:05] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Thank you. I did it very special."
[02:06] * Steel_Inoccence nod-nods to vestment, cutting a few more slices and carrying them to Steady and Vestment.
[02:08] * SupperTrefoil is now known as Trefoil
[02:08] * Blue_Bolt starts on his cake. Oh /Luna/ it's delicious. It's not just a taste of cake, it's a taste of /home/... wherever that is, now.
[02:08] * Violet tilts her head "Steady, you seem to have a handle in what goes on around here. I was wondering if you had any information on a friend of mine from your stable, Starlight Song..."
[02:08] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment and Steady take there plates and take a bite each, there faces lighting up as they eat. Vestments eyes all but roll back into her head, "OH this is scrumptious! did you really do this with what we have in our pantries? I think our cooks could learn a thing or two from you Steel!". Steady nods in agreement, "Your parents taught you well Steel!".
[02:10] * Steel_Inoccence smiles. "Thank you. Sea helped too. I have the rum thingy that Trefoil likes a lot and I didn't have tasty thingies for it, but she had and now I do too. She is a nice cook too."
[02:10] <+DontAskForGM> Steady finishes his bite of cake beofe turning to Violet, "Starlight song? I remeber her well but im sad to say that I havent heard anything about her since they moved her from camp Annawan".
[02:10] <@Violet> "Camp Annawan?"
[02:11] * Trefoil is in a cake coma.  She was about to remind Steel that the cook had to try her own product, but now that Steady's here she doesn't bother.
[02:11] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment leans over to Steel as Steady talks to Violet, "Well you did an excelent job, Steady told me you worked in the kitches at Stable 22 a bit when you were younger. You really are a great cook".
[02:12] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods his head, "camp Annawan, an old camp grounds that serves as the base for the slavers in the area. We had a beed on Starlight there before she was sold, were not sure were".
[02:13] * Puzzler continues to nibble his cake and sipping the coffee. Listening to Steady and Vi's conversation.
[02:13] * Blue_Bolt savors his cake while staring off into the distance, thinking about his decision to leave the Stable.
[02:14] * Violet scowls and growls "What?"
[02:15] * Blue_Bolt He's snapped from his reverie at the mention of slavers.
[02:15] <+Puzzler> "S-slavers?"
[02:15] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods somberly, "We try and get ponies out when we can but its diffucult, what with our number being so small. Sometimes were to late".
[02:15] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
[02:15] <+Blue_Bolt> "What?" he says, a faint, confused echo of Violet.
[02:16] * Violet lets out an almost primal growl at the thought of one of her closest friend being sold as property
[02:16] * Trefoil continues to nibble cake
[02:16] <@Violet> "Where are these slavers? I'll pull their fucking intestines out of their mouths."
[02:17] * Steel_Inoccence frowns, looking from Violet to Gizmo.
[02:17] * Trefoil wants to put a reasuring leg around Violet, but doesn't.  Instead she lays the fork down with a pleased sigh, "I g-guess if everypony else is asking, h-have y-you h-heard anything about C-Carriage Return?"
[02:18] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment leans over the table, looking at Violet, "Ohhh~ I like her!". Stedy takes another bite, sighing to himself. "I had hoped to save talk about such things until after you had all settled in, maybe in a few days...", Hearing Trefoil Steadies brow raises, "Im sorry, who? the name dosent ring a bell".
[02:19] * Puzzler shrinks down into his chair a little, his ears drop at Violets outburst. "W-was Lavender in.. In that camp aswell?"
[02:20] * Trefoil half-smiles, "D-Doesn't s-suprise me."
[02:21] * Violet sighs and lays her muzzle on Puzzler's neck, trying to calm herself
[02:22] * Steel_Inoccence moves closer to Trefoil, hesitantly putting a hoof on her shoulder. "We c-can find her too."
[02:22] * Puzzler puts a wing over Violets back and leans closer to her. "W-we will find her, we can f-fly now.." He whispers to Violet.
[02:23] * Blue_Bolt listens and watches, a bit of his thousand-yard stare returning.
[02:23] <+DontAskForGM> Steady looks around the table, "... So your all like minded then? I mean I know Gizmo knows he wants to go but, well I had hoped to talk you all into staying here".
[02:23] <+Trefoil> "W-Why is everypony s-stuttering now?" Tre jokes.  She shrugs, "Y-Ya'll c-can do w-what you w-want."
[02:24] <+Trefoil> "....I c-can't exactly g-go anywhere, Mr. P-Pulse."
[02:25] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment looks over to Trefoil, "Well after some phisical therapy you should be fine t-", Vestment is cut off by a harsh look from Steady, "errr...Ya".
[02:25] * Violet nuzzles Puzzler's neck and kisses his cheek lightly "Thank you."
[02:25] * Steel_Inoccence looks down.
[02:26] <+Trefoil> "Th-That sh-shouldn't s-stop anypony else though.... f-from proceeding united."
[02:26] * Violet shakes her head "If we go, we /go/ united. There can't be anypony with reservations that will come up later and hinder progress."
[02:27] * Trefoil turns the scarred side of her face towards Vestement and Steady, "N-Nopony sh-should go alone.  Isn't th-that right?"
[02:27] <@Violet> "We're all we have. Nothing more, nothing less."
[02:27] * Steel_Inoccence looks lost. Split inside.
[02:27] * Gizmo steps forwards towards Steady. "What camps do you know of for the slavers?"
[02:28] <+Trefoil> "Y-You're sk-kipping ahead, Giz."
[02:28] * Blue_Bolt sits there, empty cup of coffee before him.
[02:28] <+Gizmo> "No, I'm thinking ahead." He says. "If we kknow if they have multiple camps we cna decide if we want to take them on and where."
[02:29] <+Trefoil> "S-Still too f-far ahead.  Do y-you even know who's g-going y-yet?"
[02:29] <@Violet> "I'm going. If Star was with them, they're my only lead on finding her, as selfish as that is."
[02:30] * Trefoil nudges Blue_Bolt
[02:30] <+DontAskForGM> Steady looks a little overwelmed and nearly takes a step back before a reasuring hoof drapes across his shoulder from Vestment. Smiling at her thankfully Steady turns to the group. "Please, poines there is no rush. Take your time and ask me one question at a time and I will do my best to answer your questions".
[02:31] * Gizmo sighs and stands back. "I don't care if I'm the only one going or our whole group is. I just want to know where they are to plan." he states. looking back to Steel he notices her not being herself again. "Steel... are you okay?" he asks quietly
[02:31] * Blue_Bolt looks over at Trefoil, eyes returning to the present.
[02:32] * Trefoil whispers
[02:32] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment looks around, "Please, calm down everypony".
[02:32] <+Trefoil> "G-Good luck l-lady, th-they haven't y-yet."
[02:33] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment leans over to Steel and wispers.
[02:35] * Violet has calmed down considerably thanks to Puzzler being there fore her and is just sitting there nuzzling his neck.
[02:35] * Blue_Bolt waits and listens.
[02:36] * Puzzler nuzzles Violet back. He wasnt really good at making decisions, so he remains quiet.
[02:38] * Steel_Inoccence nods, seeming quite confused herself. "Umm... everypony. Everypony! Stay calm! Everything will be okay!" She says loudly, recalling her guard training.
[02:38] <+DontAskForGM> Steady looks around the table from one pony to the next, "So... are we all nice and calm? Becouse if your ready I will answer all your questions as best as I can. We are all civil ponies here and we can act it".
[02:39] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles at Steel, "Thank you sweety"
[02:39] * Gizmo smiles and stays quiet.
[02:39] * Puzzler shrinks a little more. He was calm, very calm. Not even in  the way.
[02:40] <+DontAskForGM> Steady sets down his cake and looks across the table to them, "So... what would you like to know first?"
[02:41] <+Blue_Bolt> "... who sacked Stable Twenty-Three?"
[02:43] * Violet puts a foreleg around Puzzler's back and leans against him, closing her eyes
[02:43] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment gives Steadies sholder a squeeze as the colt takes a deep breath. "Stable twenty three was attacked by a coalition of bandits, raiders, and slavers formed under the flag of a group calling themselves the Reavers who came up from the south. After the fighting was over they more or less consodiated there forces into two groups, the Slavers of the Annawan Camp grounds and the Reavers who imerged as the largest raider
[02:44] <+DontAskForGM>  the Slavers of the Annawan Camp grounds and the Reavers who imerged as the largest raider gang this territory has ever seen".
[02:45] <+DontAskForGM> "The slavers took the ponies, and the Reavers took the technology".
[02:46] * Violet scowls "And now they're apparently gunning for Our stable, if I remember correctly..."
[02:46] * Blue_Bolt rubs his muzzle with a hoof, taking all this in.
[02:46] * Steel_Inoccence nods to Gizmo.
[02:46] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment Leans over to Steady and translates to Steel.
[02:46] * Puzzler shakes his head and mumbles. "The door is closed.. T-they cant get in.."
[02:47] <+Gizmo> "Okay, where is the location of their camps and probable buyers?
[02:50] <+DontAskForGM> Steady turns to Gizmo, "The main camp grounds are settled far to the south from here along the river but they have several other smaller camp sights, they like to move about and scout for easy targets. As for buyers? Hell, the only places around here that dont buy are Pleasant hills and Clover, they even export some of the more valuable ponies to some of the larger cities like Baltemare".
[02:50] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
[02:50] * Gizmo nods. "Alright. Need to make note of that."
[02:56] * Steel_Inoccence nods to Violet.
[02:57] <@Violet> "I'm actually curious how these 'Reavers' got into 23 in the first place, since they're attempting to do the same to 22."
[02:58] <+Blue_Bolt> "Same."
[02:58] <+Puzzler> "They can't, the door is closed.." He mumbles again.
[02:59] <+Blue_Bolt> "Who says they used the front door?" Bolt mumbles.
[03:00] * Blue_Bolt rubs an eye with a hoof, then goes back to rubbing his muzzle.
[03:00] <+DontAskForGM> Steady turns to Violet, "Well we dont have reports yet of them moving onto 22 but we do beilve it is only a matter of time now that news is out about your friends, the two mares who are helping Clover. Their... Heroics are proving to be to big for stable 22 to be overlooked for much longer. As for us, well our front door was wide open after the attack, they just stormed there way in... were still not sure how they found ou
[03:01] <+DontAskForGM> were still not sure how they found out about us so fast"
[03:02] * Violet frowns
[03:04] <+DontAskForGM> Steady looks downcast, "I wish I coud tell you more but there is only so much intel we have to go on. For the most part we only have eyes and ears on the local towns and teh Annawan Campgrounds. The Reavers have prooven to risky to move on yet, we cant get eyes near any of there bases".
[03:05] <+Blue_Bolt> "Hm."
[03:05] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Umm... eyes?"
[03:05] <+Gizmo> "Ponies Steel." He says. "Ponies who can tell back info
[03:05] <+Blue_Bolt> "Scouts," Bolt supplies reflexively.
[03:06] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Why?"
[03:08] <+Blue_Bolt> "... they're very well organized, aren't they?" Bolt says to Steady. "Like an army."
[03:08] <+Gizmo> "So they can be ahead of the slavers and raiders."
[03:09] * Trefoil continues to nibble cake
[03:10] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods, "We have scouts and spies, hiding out all over the wasteland keeping an eye on things as well as associates who we trust with secrets like our radio code. I take it you must have met one if you were able to call out to us on that station last night".
[03:11] * Blue_Bolt looks to Gizmo, raising an eyebrow.
[03:12] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment clears her throat, "I am actual one of the scouts, I was observing a new camp we found and returning with the intel when I spoted you not far from Stable 22 outside the Radio brodcast tower".
[03:12] * Gizmo looks back at Blue Bolt. "Don't look at me. I got the code from the others." he shrugs.
[03:13] * Blue_Bolt nods slightly, then looks to the rest of the group.
[03:13] * Violet shrugs
[03:13] <+DontAskForGM> steady begins to speak again, "For the most part our spies take the form of traveling doctors and alot of our allies are the same. The proffesion makes it easy to gain entrance to most settlements, no pony asks to many questions about ponies who are good at patching up wounds and tending the sick".
[03:13] <@Violet> "Somepony from Clover."
[03:16] <+Trefoil> "S-Somepony H-H-H-Hospice knew."
[03:17] * Trefoil chimes in
[03:17] * Steel_Inoccence scrunches up her face.
[03:17] * DancingOnTheAshes ([email protected]) Quit ( Connection closed )
[03:18] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods his head, "Well I am grateful to whoever it was". Looking around the table Steady glance to each of them in kind, "So do anymore of you have anything to ask?".
[03:19] <+Gizmo> "Sure. Do you have any intel on where to get any good equipment?" He asks. "We surtently arent fit to take on a camp of raiders like this."
[03:20] <+Trefoil> "L-Lawpony in C-Clover owes y-you."
[03:22] <+DontAskForGM> Steady sighs and perks up a bit as Vestment comforts him, looking up at Gizmo he fixes him with a serious look, "Listen, Gizmo I dont think you understand who your dealing with. These Reavers are not the kinds of ponies you can face head on, not the best equipment and not even with numbers on your side. Other ponies have tried to face them and were driven back"
[03:22] * Blue_Bolt furrows his brow at that, thinking.
[03:22] <@Violet> "Too late."
[03:22] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment nods in agreement, "The steel rangers fought them but now who knows where they are holed up".
[03:22] <@Violet> "We've already taken out two."
[03:23] <@Violet> "If those two on the bikes were in fact what I think they were."
[03:23] <+Gizmo> "Did I say we were going to rush them head on?" He asks. "No. Obviously if these Reavers took out a whole Stable, we need to plan stratigicall-" He looks ot Violet. "Oh... yeah..."
[03:24] <+DontAskForGM> "bikes?" ask Vestment, "Sounds alot like them, but the bikes are small picking compaired to what ells they have".
[03:24] <+Puzzler> "So.. Ah, what do we do then..?"
[03:24] * Violet nods
[03:24] <+Blue_Bolt> "Wait, the Steel Rangers 'Pride of the Equestrian Military' Steel Rangers?" he asks, eyebrows raised in surprise.
[03:26] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods, "But dont belive the old stories, they work for themselves now hording like the reavers do, but at least they dont seem interested in attacking settelments. They wanted to take teh equipment stolen from 23, after a few years of fighting it turned into a stalemate. They are around but no pony knows where".
[03:26] * Trefoil snorts
[03:26] * Blue_Bolt mumbles something about how the mighty have fallen.
[03:27] <@Violet> "Great. Another group who will try and take our APC, just like Clover."
[03:27] <@Violet> "Wonderful."
[03:27] * Steel_Inoccence isn't sure what to think of it, but the group at least does have a nice name :)
[03:28] * Gizmo thinks to himself. 'hmm... I wonder....' He speaks up. "What type of vehicles do the Rangers use?"
[03:28] * Blue_Bolt is mostly surprised they made it through the apocalypse.
[03:28] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles at the mention of the APC, "yes, it sure is a beuty!", she practically purrs as she mentions it. Steady gives her a harsh look and speaks in an authoritative voice, "No!". Vestment shakes his shoulder, "But its a good plan!"
[03:29] * Violet tilts her head "What's a good plan?"
[03:29] * Puzzler 's ears perk up.
[03:29] * Blue_Bolt looks over. He's all ears.
[03:30] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment turns to Violet, "Oh its the best, I came up with it a-", before she can fishish Steady stops her. "No Vestment, I dont want to use them like some sort of resorce. I wont ask them to do that and its their APC anyway".
[03:31] <@Violet> "Excuse me, Steady? I /asked/."
[03:32] * Steel_Inoccence 's ears perk up. "Umm... do you want help?"
[03:32] <@Violet> "It's not your place to decide what we do, how ever much I respect you for all you've done. That said, we need all the help and options we can get. Vestment has another option."
[03:32] <+DontAskForGM> Steady looks to Violet and opens his mouth to speek only to get a mouth full of Vestments hoof, "Oh no you dont serious pants, she asked and you were the one who insisted we be honest with theim about everything, right?". Steady rolls his head and nods, to which Vestment smiles and turns back to the group with a grin.
[03:33] <+Gizmo> "I'm rather interested now."
[03:34] * Puzzler dosn't really like that grin. But this was important, they coulnt just sit around doing nothing.. And he really  wanted to help Violet. He keeps quiet, listening intently.
[03:34] <+DontAskForGM> "Well what Steady was not going to say was that While they are seperate entities The Reavers have a deal going with the slavers, protection for choice picks and reduced prices on slaves. Its not all to uncommon for a Reaver apc to roll into a slaver camp without causing alarm...".
[03:34] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment has a devilish look on her face
[03:35] <+Gizmo> "I can tell where this is going"
[03:35] * Violet tilts her head, laying it on Puzzler's neck "You want to dress the APC up in Reaver colours and style, don't you?"
[03:35] * Steel_Inoccence looks at Gizmo, confused.
[03:35] <+DontAskForGM> "And from what I have seen your apc is the same model as the ones they stole from us... with a bit of doctoring it could look like the genuine thing, slip by slaver defences without a second glance!"
[03:35] <+Gizmo> "What Violet said."
[03:35] <+DontAskForGM> Vestmenty nods vigrously
[03:35] <@Violet> "I already thought of that."
[03:35] <@Violet> "After I saw the bikes."
[03:36] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles, "See, great minds think alike!"
[03:36] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment takes her hoof our of Steadies mouth and gives him a playful punch on teh shoulder, "And you said it was a bad idea!"
[03:36] * Puzzler "B-but we are not... I mean I.." He fidgets.
[03:36] <+Blue_Bolt> "... not much room for error."
[03:37] * Gizmo sighs. "It is a bad idea. but it's better than storming the gates."
[03:37] * Blue_Bolt Slowly, Bolt's hoof goes back over his muzzle.
[03:37] <@Violet> "Gonna need a bigger gun if we went that route. Or at least a lot more ammo."
[03:38] <+Trefoil> "heh, if w-we h-had a f-flak c-cannon, y-you'd be s-set."
[03:38] <+Blue_Bolt> "... and info. Lots of info."
[03:38] <+DontAskForGM> steady gives Velvet a harsh look, "But of course we are not so suicidal as to go right into the Annowan camp grounds. No, what we want to do is hit up this new camp site and see if we can get our hooves on some records, see if we cant find out where they are sending ponies".
[03:38] * Violet nods "Strategically sound. smaller, less defended, more unprepared."
[03:39] <+Gizmo> "And thus, easier to fool."
[03:39] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods, once again geting cut off by Vestment, "Thats the idea!"
[03:40] <+Trefoil> "St-Steady?"
[03:40] * Blue_Bolt is suddenly struck by... how /confused/ he is.
[03:41] <@Violet> "I have to agree with this plan, but it all boils down to a few core issues. Numbers, and armament. We're very few in number, and very poorly armed."
[03:41] <+DontAskForGM> Steady looks out across the table, "So... are you really thinking about going along with this? I cant recomend it, but I cant stop you either".
[03:41] * Trefoil sighs and pushes her plate back across the remains of the cake, her voice drowned out in the clamor of ponies.
[03:41] <@Violet> "I'd be willing to give it a shot. I will not stand by idly while ponies are bought, sold, and traded like property."
[03:42] <+Gizmo> "Steady." He steps up. "Trefoil had something to say or ask."
[03:42] * Blue_Bolt shuts his partially opened mouth. Gizmo beat him to the punch.
[03:42] * Violet turns to look at Trefoil but is cut off from saying exactly wha Gizmo was going to say by...wel...Gizmo
[03:42] <@Violet> well*
[03:43] * Gizmo is fast to shut ponies up apparently :I
[03:43] * Trefoil is starring at the knife, considering whether or not she could muster the TK control to slice herself a new piece.
[03:44] * Steel_Inoccence looks at Trefoil, biting her lip.
[03:44] <+DontAskForGM> Steady looks to steel, "Steel? you have been very quiet... what are you thinking?"
[03:44] <+Trefoil> "If it isn't t-too m-much t-trouble, h-how f-far is Pleasant Hills?"
[03:45] <+DontAskForGM> "Not far", wispers Vestment as she watches to see what Steel would say.
[03:47] * Violet leans over to whisper to Trefoil "That's where your dad is, right? I'd happily take you there to visit him."
[03:53] <+Trefoil> "Y-Yeah, it is."
[03:54] * Trefoil pauses, "I-I'd r-rather not."
[03:55] * Violet tilts her head "Are you sure?"
[03:56] <+Trefoil> "T-Too much of a b-bother."
[03:58] <+Trefoil> "I m-mean, d-drive all the w-way th-there through hostile c-country?"
[03:58] <@Violet> "No it's not. You're a member of this group, Tre, and I know you're worried about him. We have to get ready for this if we want this to have any chance of working, anyways."
[03:58] * Steel_Inoccence looks at Steady, as if pleading for an answer. "I want to help, because Gizmo and Violet and Trefoil have to find their pals too and that is a big thing because there is all the the mean ponies and and I don't want they to do bad stuff and I don't want they to hurt my friends too, "
[03:59] <+Steel_Inoccence> "And Trefoil is all hurty and I don't want her more hurty because that is so, so bad and then you can take care of her, and I want to stay with her too, but I have to help my friends and I don't have the thinkies."
[04:01] * Trefoil whispers, "G-Go with th-them, Steel."
[04:02] <+DontAskForGM> Steady leaves Vestments reasuring hoof and moves to give Steel as big of a hug as he could, "I know its tough out here Steel, I wish you didnt have to make decisions like this".
[04:03] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment leans over the table and looks at Trefoil, "What, so you want to stick around here and stay in that chair for the rest of your life?"
[04:04] * Violet sighs and leans against Puzzler again, giving him a quick squeeze with the foreleg she has around him
[04:06] * Puzzler looks over at Trefoil. "If meeting your f-father will make you happy t-then we should t-take you too him.." He nuzzles Violet gently. "A-and.. I don't know what we are d-doing exactly ,but I want to help, In any way I c-can.."
[04:07] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment looks to Puzzler and Violet, "Oh she can walk, she may need some phisical theapy but there is nothing keeping her off her hooves". Steady looks over to Vestment, "Vestment, dont be so crule". Vestment looks back, "Hey, its called tough love. I have seen the reports, she could be back out there in a few days if she wanted!"
[04:09] * Steel_Inoccence looks sadly at Trefoil. "I want to help too and I want you happy."
[04:09] * Gizmo looks to Trefoil. "You're Strong Tre. A lot fucking stronger than me. Do the therapy and come with us." He says.
[04:11] * Trefoil grunts
[04:13] <+Trefoil> "W-Why?  I-I'm a b-burden, all my gear b-blew up," She glares at Vestment, "P-Pardon me for g-getting c-cake and s-some time with my f-friends b-before I d-dove into occupational th-therapy."
[04:14] <@Violet> "Gear is replaceable. The strength and personality you brought to this group is not."
[04:14] <@Violet> (Brought and bring*)
[04:14] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles as she is undercut by Violet, silently she leans in to Steady, "Im likeing her more and more". Steady grumbles as he continues to sooth Steel, "That actually scares me a little Vestment".
[04:15] <+Gizmo> "Also you aint a bad drinking buddy." He chuckles.
[04:15] <+Trefoil> "Mm."
[04:16] <+Puzzler> "Tre.. I.. I believe you can do it, I m-mean if I could  l-learn how to fly.. You can too.." He says, fidgeting.
[04:16] * Steel_Inoccence turns away, squeaking.
[04:18] <+DontAskForGM> Steady leans in close to Steel asking her, "What was that Steel?"
[04:18] * Blue_Bolt observes carefully.
[04:19] <@Violet> "...I read too much science fiction. Now I'm imagining tre with a jetpack..."
[04:19] * Steel_Inoccence takes a deep breath, but her voice gets lost along the way as she tries to repeat it, replaced by a slightly louder but equally incomprehensible squeak.
[04:20] * Trefoil listens for Steel, but doesn't add her eyes to the mix, "L-Look, y-ya'll k-keep acting like I n-need to b-be inspired to w-walk again."
[04:20] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment turns to join Steady in watching Steel.
[04:21] * Violet smiles at Trefoil "No you don't, It's just encouragement."
[04:21] <+Trefoil> "Wh-Which I 'p-preciate b-but again, I'll b-be f-fine."
[04:21] * Steel_Inoccence gallops out of the cafeteria, flustered.
[04:21] * Puzzler looks at Violet, confused. "J-jetpack I.. I dint..." He stops whatever he was saying and returns to being quiet.
[04:22] * Gizmo turns to Steady and Vestment. noticing Steel running out. "Hey! Steel!" He gallops after her.
[04:22] * Blue_Bolt watches Steel go, rather surprised.
[04:22] * Violet giggles and kisses Puzzler's cheek "You just made me think of it is all..." She turns to watch Steel gallop away
[04:22] <@Violet> "Uh oh..."
[04:23] <+Gizmo> "Steel! Wait up!" He yells after her, still chasing
[04:24] <+DontAskForGM> Steady follows after Steel and Gizmo, "Wait, Steel, what is wrong?". Vestment watches as the group runs off, "well... that was unexpected. Is she usually like this?"
[04:24] <+Blue_Bolt> "Uh..."
[04:24] * Blue_Bolt slowly shrugs.
[04:24] <@Violet> "...No...she isn't..."
[04:24] <+Puzzler> "No..."
[04:25] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
[04:25] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment turns back to the rest of them, "So... about you Trefoil. I know Steady is ready to swoop you all up and stow you under his wing in an attempt to protect you but im not sure sticking around here is the best thing for you".
[04:26] * Steel_Inoccence tries to find a place to hide herself, with little success due to her size. She ends up stopping by the large window on the other side of the hotel.
[04:26] <+Trefoil> "W-Well, r-remember earlier V-Vi?  Sh-She s-sprinted out of m-my r-room p-pretty f-fast."
[04:26] <+DontAskForGM> Steady follows close behind but is not quite fast enough to keep up with Steel and Gizmo beats him to her.
[04:27] * Violet nods "I wonder what's up? She's been acting kind of weird for a while now...I'm getting a little worried."
[04:27] <+Trefoil> "S-Same."
[04:27] * Gizmo stops bye the window. "Steel." He pants. "Whats wrong?"
[04:27] <+Trefoil> "Sh-She's  been under a l-lot of p-pressure."
[04:28] * Trefoil doesn't look at Vestment, "And wh-why not?"
[04:29] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment shrugs, "Well for one thing your friends seem dead set to take you with them, and furhthermore I dont think its very healthy for you to sit around and brood alone".
[04:30] * Steel_Inoccence looks out to the nice view outside, trying to clear the turmoil inside her. "Umm..."
[04:30] * Blue_Bolt looks over at Tre.
[04:31] * Gizmo goes up to her right next to her. "Steel. You can tell me. I'm your friend."
[04:32] <+DontAskForGM> Steady pants as he catches up to Gizmo and Steel, sitting on the other side of steel and puting hoof around her. "Whats wrong Steely?"
[04:33] * Steel_Inoccence breathes deeply. "I..."
[04:34] <+Trefoil> "I-I'm not brooding.  I-I w-was having c-cake," Tre reflects upon the disentigration of her tea party.
[04:34] <+Trefoil> "Besides, I-I
[04:35] <+Trefoil> 'm not exactly l-leaping anywhere.  H-Have to l-learn to w-walk b-before I c-can go on a m-mission of c-certain destruction to r-rescue p-ponies I d-don't c-care about at th-the r-risk of ones I d-do."
[04:37] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
[04:37] * Trefoil snorts again, "S-So.  Y-Ya'll just jumping ahead all again."
[04:37] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles, "Good, Cake and friends sound like excelent therapy. So should I tell the doctors that you are ready to start your phiscal thearapy seasions soon?"
[04:38] <+Trefoil> "I d-did mention that to N-Nurse Penny Sh-Shines already."
[04:38] <+Trefoil> "Th-That I'd be interested in th-therapy."
[04:39] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles, "Oh, she is a great nurse. Isnt she?"
[04:40] * Trefoil smiles with the moveable half of her face, "Ah'd s-say s-so, y-yeah."
[04:42] * Trefoil clears her throat
[04:42] <+Trefoil> "V-Vi?  About v-visiting my f-father?"
[04:43] <@Violet> "Yes?"
[04:43] <+Trefoil> "Any idea h-how long th-that'd t-take?"
[04:44] * Trefoil mumbles
[04:45] * Blue_Bolt is still sitting there, just listening.
[04:45] * Puzzler does the same.
[04:45] <+Trefoil> "M-More c-cake, anypony?"
[04:46] <@Violet> "Not too long, I'd imagine."
[04:46] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment looks to Trefoil, "Well if we dropped you by  the river You could probably make it in as little as day and a half if you were carful about it, in the APC anyway".
[04:47] <+Trefoil> "Wh-What!?" Tre shakes her head, "N-Nevermind, th-that's f-far too long just to v-visit d-dad.... besides th-that'd only upset his n-new life."
[04:49] <@Violet> "Nope. I'm not taking that as an answer, Tre."
[04:51] * Trefoil rolls her eyes, "Wh-What?  Y-You th-think he needs to s-see me like th-this, wh-when he p-probably has a new w-wife and k-kids?"
[04:53] <+Trefoil> "L-Let me f-figure out h-how to w-walk again b-before we decide anything."
[04:53] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment raises a brow and looks to Trefoil,  "Wait, who is your dad and how is he out here?
[04:53] <+DontAskForGM> "
[04:55] <+Trefoil> "He w-was p-part of th-the repair p-party to y-your S-Stable f-from ours," Tre snaps, "According to a f-friend in C-Clover he s-survived and m-moved to P-Pleasant Hills."
[05:00] * Gizmo is still in the Hallway he chased Steel into
[05:01] * Trefoil adds as an afterthought, "His n-name was B-Back Issue."
[05:02] * Gizmo looks to Steady. "You ponies have any warm clothes I can borrow? just for a bit?"
[05:02] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment scratches her chin, scrutenizing Trefoil, "Wait, your Back's kid? I seem to remeber him saying something about you but he was never the type to talk to much about his life before leaving 22"
[05:03] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods, "Absolutely, the jumpsuits we wear are modified ski suits with built in warmers powered by Magic crystal cells".
[05:04] <+Gizmo> "Where can I get one?"
[05:04] <+Trefoil> "'c-course not."
[05:05] <+DontAskForGM> Steady smiles, "Im sure we have some spare ones left over in one of our stor rooms if you like, although I dont think we have any with one of our snazy paint jobs on it so you will have to make due with a grey one".
[05:05] <+Trefoil> "Ch-Chance to s-start over and all."
[05:06] * Trefoil shakes her head, "Y-Yeah, I'll d-do th-therapy then w-we c-can s-set off.  If w-we haven't k-killed each other by th-then."
[05:06] * Gizmo nods. "I'm fine with that. Thank you." He says. "Oh, one more thing, Do you have scarp parts around here? I might try to build that power generator for the APC."
[05:06] <+DontAskForGM> Steady raises a brow, "Why would you want a generator for your APC?
[05:07] <+Gizmo> "Let's just say I would prefer we don't run on Steel power all the time." He says thinking back to when she over powered the APc
[05:08] <+Steel_Inoccence> "I'm okay with it."
[05:08] <+Trefoil> "S-Sound g-good, V-Violet?  P-P-Wings?"
[05:08] <+Trefoil> "B-Blue?"
[05:08] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment smiles as she takes one final bite of her cake, finishing off the slice. "Well I have some things to take care of. Ill leave you for now... unless you wanted to talk about anything ells, the plan or equipment? I remember one of you asking about equipment"
[05:08] <+Blue_Bolt> "Mm."
[05:08] * Violet smiles "Time to prepare and time to relax."
[05:09] <@Violet> "That would be me."
[05:09] <@Violet> "Equipment I mean."
[05:09] <@Violet> "We're sorely underequipped."
[05:09] <+Blue_Bolt> "Equipment..."
[05:09] <+Gizmo> "I know you are Steel, but sometimes you kinda give the APc too much." He says.
[05:09] <+DontAskForGM> Steady smiles, "Well in any case your welcome to any scrap you find, just clear it with one of the ponie in the yard before you scrap anything for parts".
[05:09] * Puzzler was lost in his own toughts. "O-oh!  Sure Tre.. Sounds good, and ah.. Im sorry for.. Running off earlier, I just... Im sorry."
[05:09] <+Blue_Bolt> "... I don't have a gun."
[05:11] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment nods, "Well we certainly have equipment, more than we know what to do with. Im sure that we can get you kited out in some new gear".
[05:11] * Steel_Inoccence looks down.
[05:11] * Violet smiles and nods "Thank you, Vestment."
[05:11] * Gizmo nods. "Thank you Steady." he looks to Steel. "It's just I'm not a good enough driver to handle a lot of the energy you put out He says as he starts to go off towards the yard.
[05:12] * Trefoil 's ears perk up, "W-We'll n-need a gun f-for Blue th-then, and, er, Vestment?  Th-Thanks, b-but c-could I m-make a s-special request?"
[05:12] * Gizmo nods. "Thank you Steady." he looks to Steel. "It's just I'm not a good enough driver to handle a lot of the energy you put out Steel."  He says as he starts to go off towards the yard. *
[05:12] * Blue_Bolt nods as well.
[05:12] <+DontAskForGM> Steady smiles, "dont worry Steel, I doubt you will be replace by a generator. the power it would take to move that APC like yours would require a generator so big that it couldnt move its own weight. In short, nothing can power the APC like you Steel!"
[05:13] * Steel_Inoccence smiles at Steady. "It's okay Gizmo." She waves at him and goes towards the cafeteria.
[05:13] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment looks to Violet, "Special request?"
[05:14] * Violet shrugs andwaves a hoof at Trefoil, who asked.
[05:14] * Gizmo makes it to the yard and looks around for somepony to ask about scraping
[05:15] <+DontAskForGM> (Corection, looks at Trefoi)
[05:15] <+DontAskForGM> (Trefoil... im getting sleepy, lol)
[05:15] <+Puzzler> "Uh, Blue_Bolt? I.. I have a gun you can have, if you want it.. "
[05:15] <+Blue_Bolt> "Oh?"
[05:15] * Blue_Bolt looks over at Puzzler.
[05:15] <+Trefoil> "Armor."
[05:15] <+Trefoil> "S-Security armor."
[05:16] <+Trefoil> "D-Do y-you have any th-that s-survived?"
[05:16] <+DontAskForGM> "You mean like they had back in the stables?", Asks vestment.
[05:16] * Puzzler unstraps the magi pistol  and hoofs it over. "Here.. I.. I wasn't v-very good with it anyway.."
[05:16] <+Trefoil> "Y-Yeah.  St-Stupid question, I kn-know."
[05:17] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment shrugs, "I dont think we do, but we do have some armor if your interested"
[05:17] * Trefoil glances at the two stallions, "...W-Wings needs a gun.  C-Correction."
[05:17] * DontAskForGM ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[05:17] * DontAskForGM ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[05:17] <+Trefoil> "Th-Thought s-so.  I'll need s-something, th-that's f-for s-sure."
[05:18] <+Gizmo> "Hello? Anypony?" He calls out. "I need to talk to somepony about these machines."
[05:19] * Puzzler glances over at Trefoil "I.. I have another one, the one Vi g-gave me.."
[05:19] * Violet sets mode +v DontAskForGM for #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[05:19] * Blue_Bolt takes the magiweapon, opening the spark pack slot.
[05:19] * Violet scratches her chin "Do you...have any shotguns?"
[05:20] * Steel_Inoccence trots closer toTrefoil.
[05:20] <+DontAskForGM> A random worker outside strots up through the snow to Gizmo, "Yes, can I help you?"
[05:20] * Blue_Bolt He's always had a fascination with magiweapons, but he'd never had an excuse to get formal training in it.
[05:20] <+Trefoil> "Oh r-right.  What about everypony else?  Giz and S-Steel?"
[05:21] <+Blue_Bolt> with them.*]
[05:21] <+Gizmo> "Hey, I was wondering if you had anything I could scrap for parts?"
[05:21] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment shrugs, "Sorry, armor is easy to come by but Shotguns... well most of our equipment is old army issue stuff we found liying around when we were guided here, no shotguns. Mostly its rifles and sidearms with some heavy weaponry".
[05:21] * Trefoil has to stop herself from drooling
[05:21] <+Trefoil> "R-Rifles you s-say?  S-Sidearms?"
[05:21] <+Blue_Bolt> "... so, you have armor?"
[05:22] * Gizmo would so be asking about snipers if he was there)
[05:22] * Violet frowns "Never shotguns..."
[05:22] <+DontAskForGM> The bundled up pony nods, "Sure I gues, Their is a maintinance shed around back that lit fire a few years back when we had a acidental weapon discharge. Not much left but I bet you could scavenge something".
[05:23] <+DontAskForGM> vestment nods, "Yup, armor, rifles, sidearms, and some explosives".
[05:23] * Gizmo smiles. "Thanks for the help." He starts to head towards the ruined shack.
[05:23] <+Trefoil> "Y-Yeah, that's g-good.  Y-You'll need s-some, and G-Giz, and W-Wings.... hell, m-most of us could 'c-cept V-Vi and S-Steel."
[05:23] <+Blue_Bolt> "... do you have any /magical/ rifles?"
[05:24] * Blue_Bolt Buck gets his hooves on a pistol and he asks for a rifle. Jeez.
[05:24] * Violet sighs "Alright then. Are there any battle saddles? I'm going to need one if I get anything bigger than Sky splitter..."
[05:25] * Puzzler wonder if the pistol wasnt good enought, but says nothing.
[05:27] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment thinks it over, "Magic rifles? I think we found a few yes. and oh yes, Battle saddles aplenty. They were everywhere when we showed up".
[05:27] <+Trefoil> "D-Do y-you know how to use th-that p-pistol, Blue?"
[05:27] <+Blue_Bolt> "Thanks for the pistol," Bolt says to Puzzler, admiring the weapon. "... never thought I'd actually get my hooves on one of these."
[05:27] <+Trefoil> "L-Luna, d-did a wh-whole b-battalion up and d-die here."
[05:27] <+Trefoil> *?"
[05:28] <+DontAskForGM> Gizmo soon finds a burned out old building with loose wires that would have led up to the resort laying half buried in teh snow
[05:28] * Gizmo sighs and starts to dig through the snow and scavenge.
[05:29] <+Blue_Bolt> "And... yes, I know the basics, but going to a range would make me feel much better."
[05:29] * Puzzler wingshrugs.. "T-thank Tre, I got it f-from her in the first place.. And, uh.. A barding would be nice.."
[05:29] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment nods, "Thats pretty much what happened actually. Apparently the owner of this place predicted the end of Equestria and stocked up, equiping this place to survive. Didnt take a whole batalion to find it and bunker down. Seems like they didnt last though".
[05:29] <+Blue_Bolt> "... second-hoof user manuals are only good for so much," he says, setting the disarmed pistol down on the table.
[05:30] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment nods, "Oh we can do barding, Steady dosent like us useing the armor as he seems to think it puts us in a combative state of mind so it just piles up. But we have plenty anyway so feel free to take some".
[05:30] * Trefoil shudders
[05:30] <+Trefoil> "S-Sweet C-Celestia...."
[05:31] <+Trefoil> "W-We'll take s-some," T-Tre hastily adds, "C-Can w-we examine th-the s-stockpile?"
[05:31] <+DontAskForGM> vestment nods, "I know, right? There are still parts of this building we cant get into. the old owner locked it up tight before he kicked the bucket"
[05:31] <+DontAskForGM> "Sure, but later. Not now"
[05:32] * Puzzler winces.  Looking down. All those ponies..
[05:32] <+Trefoil> "Y-Yeah..."
[05:33] * Blue_Bolt would rather not get his leg torn at by dogs again. Armor sounds /very/ nice.
[05:33] * Steel_Inoccence sighs. Though she gives a small smile at Vestment's comment. She had no problem with no-ouchy things, because they didn't stop the hurties, but it was good to know at least Steady wanted to try the nicer way. All those bad things... She puts a hoof over  Puzzler's shoulder.
[05:34] * Violet leans her head against Puzzler, giving his tail a little tug. They're totally still holding tails.
[05:35] <+DontAskForGM> Vestment stands and moves to Steady, "Should we go dig up some things for your friends?", she asks
[05:35] * Puzzler eeps both from the tailtug and the hoof on his shoulder he looks over his shoulder at Steel. "O-oh! Hi Steel, I.. I didnt see you.. are you.. Are you going to be a-alright?"
[05:35] <+DontAskForGM> Steady nods before standing and looking at everypony, "Well we will take our leave, Ill see you later after we get some things together for you".
[05:36] * Gizmo is getting cold looking through the shack. "Gotta find something." He says quietly to himself
[05:36] <+DontAskForGM>  (End of GM envolvment)
[05:36] <+DontAskForGM> (Night guys!)
[05:37] <+Trefoil> "Later S-Steady, V-Vestment."
[05:37] <+Trefoil> (Night Cookies)
[05:37] <+Trefoil> "W-Wah!  St-Steel!?"
[05:37] * Steel_Inoccence nods, waving at Steady. "I'm okay."
[05:38] * DontAskForGM ([email protected]) Quit ( Connection closed )
[05:39] * Puzzler lets out a sigh. "Good.." He tugs back at Violets tail. Giving her a gentle nuzzle.
[05:39] * Violet smiles
[05:39] * Blue_Bolt has a small spark pack and a magi-pistol within reach of his hooves.
[05:40] * Blue_Bolt ... wow.
[05:40] * Gizmo is still shit cold and hasnt found much
[05:41] * Trefoil waves weakly at Steel
[05:41] * Gizmo trots back inside with a few peices of scrap metal and scrap electronics
[05:41] * Steel_Inoccence looks at Trefoil smiling, but looking away right after.
[05:42] <+Trefoil> "S-Somehow, I m-missed y-you k-kiddo.... d-do y-you want to talk?  R-Running off s-sorta p-prevents me f-from asking wh-what's b-both-"
[05:42] * Trefoil cuts off as Steel turns away.... right.... horrible looking.
[05:43] * Gizmo sits down and looks at his blueprints
[05:44] * Blue_Bolt has a gun and the promise of armor... and maybe a bigger gun.
[05:45] <+Steel_Inoccence> "...huh?" She kinda sort of tries to face Trefoil's general direction.
[05:45] <+Trefoil> "W-Well, I'll b-be g-going.  B-Busy day.  G-Gotta g-go s-see s-some p-ponies about learning to w-walk again."
[05:46] * Steel_Inoccence starts to follow Trefoil, stalling halfway through.
[05:46] * Gizmo starts work on the generator, paying close attention to it as he builds, using the tools around him
[05:47] * Blue_Bolt thinks... "what now?"
[05:47] * Trefoil isn't going anywhere
[05:47] * Trefoil is still trying to figure out exactly how to move her wheelchair herself.
[05:50] * Steel_Inoccence blinks, unsure of what is going on with Trefoil.
[05:51] * Trefoil shooves at the brakes holding the wheels in place with her forehooves.
[05:52] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Umm... is things wrong?"
[05:52] <+Trefoil> "Unf!  Unf!"
[05:52] <+Trefoil> "Huh?"
[05:54] * Steel_Inoccence blinks, confused by Trefoil's confusion and by her own.
[05:54] * Gizmo ([email protected]) Quit ( Connection closed )
[05:55] * Blue_Bolt looks over at Trefoil.
[05:55] * Gizmo ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[05:55] <+Blue_Bolt> "You need help?"
[05:55] * Violet puts a hoof to her muzzle to hide a yawn
[05:55] <+Trefoil> "D-Don't think s-so S-Steel, S-Steady is going to lend us all k-kinds of s-stuff to help s-save our f-friends," Tre knocks one loose and slides sideways.  She pauses to look up at Steel, "W-Well, y-you're not d-doing well apparently...."
[05:56] <+Steel_Inoccence> "I'm o-okay." She smiles nervously.
[05:56] * Blue_Bolt waits a moment to see if Tre responds.
[05:57] <+Trefoil> "Th-Thanks B-Blue, b-but I got this."
[05:57] * Trefoil frowns at Steel, "S-Steel..."
[05:57] <+Blue_Bolt> "Okay."
[05:57] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Got what?"
[05:57] * Blue_Bolt turns back to his newly obtained sidearm.
[05:58] <+Blue_Bolt> "She means she doesn't require or desire my help."
[05:58] * Puzzler yawns cause Violet did. Leaning closer.
[05:58] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Oh, okay..."
[05:59] * Violet fidgets and lays her head on Puzzler's neck again "Today...has been a long day..."
[06:00] * Blue_Bolt lifts the magi-pistol up in his telekinesis, judging the weapon. The mostly charged spark pack is in one of the small pockets in his Stable 22 vestment, not in the gun.
[06:00] <+Puzzler> "Yeah.. M-my wings are all sore.." He smiles
[06:00] * Violet sets mode +v Gizmo for #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[06:00] <+Blue_Bolt> "... do you think they have a firing range around here?" he asks nopony in particular.
[06:00] * Trefoil gigles at that
[06:00] * Gizmo is still working on his machine, examining the blueprints closely to make sure to get every detail
[06:00] <+Trefoil> "S-Sure, all around you B-Blue..."
[06:01] * Trefoil leans up closer to Steel's muzzle, "Sssssssteeeeeel."
[06:01] <+Trefoil> "S-Something is b-bothering you."
[06:01] * Violet smiles and bends her head down to nuzzle his wing
[06:02] * Gizmo sighs and leans back as he takes a small break. "Fucking complicated thing."
[06:03] * Steel_Inoccence stumbles backwards, surprised by Trefoil's approach. "Ah!" She looks away.
[06:03] * Puzzler blushes as you nuzzle his wings. They flutter a little. He flicks his tail and tugs at yours.
[06:04] * Violet clears her throat and whispers something to Puzzler
[06:05] * Gizmo looks at the designs. "Hmm... I could change a few of these designs around... into something else." He says examining it. "Depending on the energy crystal..." He looks to his prototype. "I could make something for an energy weapon maybe..."
[06:06] * Blue_Bolt sits there, legs folded up, lost in his own thoughts.
[06:07] * Steel_Inoccence backs away a little and jumps back to her hooves.
[06:07] * Puzzler gets even redder and gives Violet a gentle nuzzle. Whispering something back.
[06:07] * Trefoil grimaces.  This calls for movement that's impossible with one brake still locked firmly on the wheel of her chair.  Screwing up her face, Tre shoves away the blanket with a foreleg.  Time to mare up.
[06:07] * Gizmo looks at the designs. "I'll need more... but whatever. I dont even have an energy weapon to suit me.
[06:09] * Violet smiles and nuzzles him, whispering back
[06:11] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Umm..." She looks out to the hallway outside, but closes her eyes and shakes her head.
[06:11] * Trefoil decides to just do it.  Extending her flesh and bones forelegs Trefoil falls hooves first out of the chair.  This completely terrible idea ends when she opens her eyes.... to find herself starring at the floor.  Her bruised, scarred body is on full display to the residents of the cafeteria as Tre slowly lifts her head to look at Steel.
[06:12] <+Trefoil> "D-Damnit S-Steel!  I kn-know I l-look awful, but I-I w-want you tof-feel nice too!"
[06:12] * Gizmo gets up and wraps up his blueprints. "Not worth it right now." he turns and trots back into the hotel
[06:12] * Blue_Bolt takes a few moments to realize Tre is standing on all four legs.
[06:12] * Trefoil is shaking on all four legs, including the metal one partially covered by a sock slipping down it.
[06:13] <+Trefoil> *to f-feel
[06:14] * Steel_Inoccence looks at Trefoil, half worried, but half confused as well. "Trefoil... umm..."
[06:14] * Blue_Bolt He looks over and gives her a smile. She can stand on all four legs!
[06:14] * Trefoil discovers it hurts pretty bad to lift her head too, fucking stitches.  She grins and fires back, "S-Steel um-m?"
[06:14] * Blue_Bolt It's not pretty, but it's better than being a barely stable lump of pony on a dirty bed in a radio broadcast tower.
[06:15] * Puzzler nods and gives Violet another gentle nuzzle. "Id.. Id like that.." He turns and looks at Trefoil, eyes wide. "T-tre!"
[06:15] * Gizmo is trotting towards the cafeteria, he notices Tre is standing up on all legs. "Good job." He says walking in. "I told you were strong."
[06:15] * Blue_Bolt Much better.
[06:16] * Blue_Bolt nods his encouragement to Tre.
[06:16] <+Trefoil> "Old n-news G-Giz.  Th-Thanks."
[06:16] * Violet turns towards Trefoil "You're standing!"
[06:17] * Trefoil hasn't moved any further.  She nods slightly, "Y-Yep."
[06:17] * Gizmo rolls his eyes. "Yeah I know it's old news, doesnt mean I can't say it." He says sitting back into a chair
[06:18] * Steel_Inoccence breathes heavily. She smiles at Trefoil. "...you... umm... good..."
[06:19] <+Blue_Bolt> "At this rate, you'll be ambulatory in no time," Bolt says, smiling slightly.
[06:21] * Gizmo tips himself back in the chair back and forth, thinking about his idea more and more
[06:21] * Ashen_Ward ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP2
[06:22] <+Trefoil> "H-Hopefully."
[06:22] <+Trefoil> "Y-Yeah S-Steel, w-well, I'm up-p."
[06:23] * Trefoil puts one weak foreleg forward, then moves the attendant hindleg... the flesh one
[06:23] <+Trefoil> "S-So?  H-How about y-you t-tell m-me wh-why you k-keep r-running around?"
[06:25] * Puzzler gawks and watches Trefoil move.
[06:25] * Trefoil moves the other foreleg, then sort of drags the socked leg after it.
[06:25] * Gizmo isnt paying attention to Tre.
[06:25] * Steel_Inoccence hesitantly moves one step closer. "I... umm. I-I...*squeaky noises*"
[06:27] * Blue_Bolt goes back to inspecting his new armament, looking back over at Tre's progress every now and again.
[06:27] * Gizmo hears Steel and raises himself up and looks at them.
[06:28] * Trefoil could give fewer fucks about everypony else right now.
[06:29] <+Trefoil> "Y-You?"
[06:30] <+Trefoil> "D-Do y-you r-really not w-want to talk about it?" Tre asks, her expression falling, "I c-can g-go s-sit back down."
[06:32] * Steel_Inoccence takes a deep breath, looking into Trefoil's eyes, "I. Love. You. I love you very, very much and I want to do all nice things to you and I want you to be happy, happy, very happy and I we can do all the nice things together and I'll be with you and I will never ever ever let bad things happen to you and we can... umm.. " She goes from her normal steel grey to a full red.
[06:32] * Violet 's jaw drops for a few seconds then she just starts grinning
[06:33] * Gizmo smiles happily. "Good job Steel." He says quietly.
[06:34] * Puzzler looks between Steel and Trefoil, his stare turning into a smile then leans closer to Violet  and nuzzles her again.
[06:34] * Blue_Bolt isn't looking at them, but his ear is turned their way.
[06:34] * Violet nuzzles Puzzler back happily
[06:34] * Puzzler whispers something.
[06:35] * Steel_Inoccence keeps looking at Trefoil. Slowly seeming to shrink.
[06:35] * Trefoil stares at Steel.  Her neck doesn't hurt anymore
[06:36] * Blue_Bolt looks over out of the corner of his eye.
[06:36] * Violet nods and gets off the bench, glancing at Steel and Tre and smiling.
[06:36] <+Trefoil> "W-Wuh?"
[06:36] * Puzzler slowly gets of the bench aswell. "Ah.. W-we'll leave you t-to talk.." He blushes slightly and starts to head for the exit.
[06:36] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Umm..." She nod-nods.
[06:37] * Violet trots alongside him
[06:38] * Blue_Bolt decides the young couple has exactly the right idea and discreetly scootches off the table bench and works his way out of the dining hall.
[06:38] * Gizmo makes his way out too. After all he doesnt have shit to do in there anyways :I
[06:39] * Trefoil nods in agreement....
[06:39] * Puzzler searches the building for those showers  he had heard off. Trotting alongside Violet he wraps his tail around hers. Fidgeting.
[06:40] <+Trefoil> "B-Bye everypony," she whispers.
[06:40] * Violet smiles as she trots alongside Puzzler. Today was a happy day~
[06:40] * Blue_Bolt Quietly, the blue buck goes in search of something to practice on with his magi-pistol.
[06:42] * Steel_Inoccence feels herself slowly becoming a small gummy candy pony. She keeps her ears up, but she feels a weight on her stomach, unsure of what will happen next.
[06:43] * Puzzler and Violet finds the showers after searching for a while. Moving inside he closes the door behind them. Today was indeed a happy day~
[06:44] * Trefoil 's white coat has gone red, in many places where it remained intact
[06:46] * Blue_Bolt settles for a quiet spot where he can sit and fiddle with his pistol in peace. Each day was confusing than the last.
[06:46] <+Trefoil> "U-Um, S-Steel?"
[06:47] <+Blue_Bolt> was more confusing than*]
[06:49] * Steel_Inoccence spins between hot blushing, cold shivers, some sort of weird dizziness and others in a turmoil of feelings. She tries to keep her eyes on Trefoil, but simply not galloping away is taking a lot of her strength already.
[06:49] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Umm?"
[06:51] <+Trefoil> "I-I, um, c-can't g-get any c-closer to hug y-you..."
[06:52] * Trefoil hasn't stopped blushing either, "S-See, I c-can't s-seem to move my legs any f-further."
[06:57] <+Trefoil> "And I w-want to..."
[06:59] * Gizmo ([email protected]) Quit ( Connection closed )
[06:59] * Steel_Inoccence looks up, a radiant smile growing on her face. She can't contain the urge of glomping Trefoil, before remembering her state. She falls on her face trying to stop, landing in a lump just before Trefoil. "Owww..."
[07:03] * Trefoil finds the lump of Steel to be close enough for her purposes, and with a smile flops onto Steel's back
[07:03] <+Trefoil> "H-Huuuuug!"
[07:04] * Violet would D'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW into a sugar coma if she was there.
[07:07] * Trefoil does just that.  Fuck the pain.
[07:08] * Steel_Inoccence turns herself to Trefoil, wrapping the mare in her hooves and nuzzling her.
[07:11] * Trefoil is nuzzled.  Giggling doesn't hurt, but it doesn't sound normal either... Tre's just happy to laugh again
[07:11] <+Trefoil> "Wh-Why didn't y-you tell me!?  I th-thought y-you c-couldn't s-stand to look at me anymore..."
[07:14] * Trefoil nuzzles back
[07:14] <+Steel_Inoccence> "I was scared, because I hurt you and I'm big and I did not want to hurt you more and I was scared because I'm big and not smart and I was scared because then you don't like me."
[07:16] * Steel_Inoccence smiles. "I was silly." She keeps nuzzling Trefoil.
[07:20] * Trefoil shakes her head, "Yes you w-were.... S-Steel, how d-did y-you hurt me?  I-I hurt y-you p-pretty bad with.... what I-I t-t-t-tried to do."
[07:21] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Huh? You don't hurt me."
[07:21] <+Trefoil> "Wh-When I nearly d-died?"
[07:23] <+Trefoil> "It w-was my f-fault, f-for making everypony f-feel like that."
[07:24] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Umm... but you didn't do that, it was the evil bugs. Hurties are not bad things of the hurty pony." She looks more confused by each word.
[07:25] * Trefoil rests her muzzle against the other mare's muzzle.
[07:27] <+Trefoil> "Ah."
[07:29] <+Trefoil> "....th-that was m-me... m-my g-grenade, S-Steel."
[07:31] <+Trefoil> "B-But I know wh-what I-I d-did wrong.... and wh-what I-I have to do to do b-better."
[07:32] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Oh... the boomy thingies are bad. Umm..."
[07:33] <+Trefoil> "F-For ponies."
[07:33] * Steel_Inoccence nod-nods.
[07:33] <+Trefoil> "Y-You really wanna g-go help Gizmo?"
[07:36] * Trefoil rubs Steel's side with a leg
[07:38] <+Trefoil> "D-Durnit, now I'm g-getting ahead of myself.... do y-you want to go l-lay down?"
[07:38] * Steel_Inoccence nods, sadly. "His pal is with the mean ponies. That is bad, and then he is sad too. I had sad thinkies when Steady was not in the 23 place and I had thinkies of him gone and it was very, very bad. And now Steady is okay, and we can make his pal okay too."
[07:39] <+Steel_Inoccence> "Huh?"
[07:41] * Trefoil nods, "Th-Then we really sh-should help him.... I-I was asking if y-you were t-tired, S-Steel.  Its b-been a long day."
[07:42] * Steel_Inoccence sighs happily. "A little."
[07:42] <+Steel_Inoccence> "It was a nice day too."
[07:43] <+Trefoil> "Y-Yeah.  I-I c-can kinda walk."
[07:46] <+Steel_Inoccence> "I take you, then you walk later. You are still hurty."
[07:48] * Steel_Inoccence lowers herself by Trefoil's side. "Hm?"
[07:49] <+Trefoil> "S-Sounds good."
[07:51] * Trefoil reaches out her forelegs to clamber onto Steel
[07:51] <+Trefoil> "W-We've got a b-busy day tomorrow."
[07:53] * Steel_Inoccence nod-nods. She waits until Trefoil gets comfortable, at least as much as she can be in her state, and trots out to Trefoil's room.
[07:54] * Trefoil snuggles.  Fur seems a lot warmer and certainly softer then feathers did.
[07:57] <+Trefoil> "S-Steel t-taxi, y-yaaaay~" she mumbles
[07:58] * Steel_Inoccence smiles, enjoying Trefoil's own warmth and the soft movement of her chest. She hums a happy tune as she trots.
[07:59] * Trefoil is gently rocked.... and there's humming!?
[08:01] * Trefoil might as well already be asleep when she closes her eyes.  Helluva day.
