Session 8 Post Session

04[22:49] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Kirengo, Blastwave, and Moonlight`s_Shimmer after feeding the mare a potion. "She'll be alright... physically." She puts the empty bottle in her bags. "We need to get more healing potions soon, I'm down to two."
07[22:50] * +Blastwave nods solmenly. "Should have asked precious..." he mumbles then looks up at Clipped_Cantle, "The raiders, did they really..." he leaves the question in the air, almost afraid to complete it
15[22:50] * +Kirengo is presumably back in the crew quarters with the rest after he and Blast finished putting the loot in the hold?
15[22:50] * +Kirengo totally is.
07[22:50] * +Blastwave word
07[22:50] * +Clipped_Cantle nods slowly. "Pretty sure..."
07[22:50] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sighs
15[22:50] * +Kirengo pulls out two healing potions and hoofs them to Clipped. "From my mother." He looks over at Blastwave. "Yeah... they did. And let's just hope that's -all- they did."
04[22:51] * +Blastwave blinks and looks at Kirengo, "What. What else /could/ they do?"
07[22:51] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at the healing potions, then nods. "Thanks."
07[22:52] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Blastwave. "Well... they didn't /eat/ her, for one thing..."
15[22:52] * +Kirengo "Do you really wanna know?"
07[22:52] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head "You do not want to know. We have seen their...atrocities first hand."
07[22:52] * +Blastwave "W-what, they would actually /eat/ her thats..." he looks bit flabber gasted and shakes his head. "No... I really don't... but  I probably should. This place is my... home now, after all."
15[22:53] * +Kirengo sighs. "They'll kill you, rape you, skin you, eat you, and use your intestines as decoration. And if you're lucky, they'll do it in that order."
07[22:54] * +Clipped_Cantle slowly nods.
07[22:54] * +Blastwave looks dosgusted. It's ma good thing he physically cannot vomit
15[22:54] * +Kirengo "And that's why, when you see an aggressive raider, you don't even think twice about killing it."
07[22:55] * +Blastwave needs to sit down and hold his head and think about how much he hates the surface
15[22:57] * +Kirengo puts a hoof on Blastwave's shoulder. "You didn't... really look around when you were in the hold of the other ship, did you?"
07[22:57] * +Blastwave shakes his head, "N-no. I was focused on the mare..."
[22:58] <+Clipped_Cantle> "I'd keep doing that... focus on what needs done so shit like that..." She sighs. "That's what I do, at least."
15[22:58] * +Kirengo "That's... probably... for the best."
07[22:58] * +Clipped_Cantle is assuming the hold was horrible, since she didn't actually see it. Safe assumption with raiders.
[22:58] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We agree..."
15[22:59] * +Kirengo recalls that the hold had a wall decorated with the remains of a pony.
07[23:00] * +Blastwave "It's just! This... stuff. It's normal here. Just asumed. That's the part that's just..." his voice trails off. "If it was one lunatic I could deal with it. One monster, but instead it seems an epidemic, to the point everyone knows at just a glance..."
07[23:03] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and leans against Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Sorry to say that's exactly what it is... an epidemic." She looks at her magi-rifles. "And most of the time there's only one cure..."
15[23:04] * +Kirengo sighs. "A-at least it's not... like... getting -worse-... They're just... there. They've always been there... I don't really see how they won't always be there. All... all I can really do is tell you how to recognize them..."
07[23:04] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer wraps a wing around Clipped_Cantle and hangs her head
07[23:06] * +Blastwave "But they /shouldn't/ be there. It shouldn't be normal." He points at the mare, "She shouldn't be normal."
07[23:06] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. She pauses mid-nuzzle as she can't feel it very well, but assumes it's the bandages and continues nuzzling. It didn't hurt now, after the potion.
07[23:07] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle back tenderly then looks at Blastwave "We are anything but normal..."
15[23:07] * +Kirengo looks at the battered mare. "It's not normal. It just isn't a shock. It's unfortunate, you're right that it -shouldn't- happen, but it's a minority."
07[23:09] * +Clipped_Cantle hangs her head. "It does happen far too often, though..."
07[23:09] * +Blastwave has a differnet definition of minority, "I've been on the surface eight days or close enough it makes no matter and thats the second one of these groups I've run across. In eight days! How many are there? How many have ponies like that killed, and eaten and..." he trails off and starts shaking. The revaltion a bit too much
15[23:16] * +Kirengo wants to tell Blastwave that it's actually three raider groups... he was in the middle of dying during the first one, though... He manages to keep his mouth shut, however, and thinks of something else to say. "Too many... way way too many..." He moves over and puts a leg over Blastwave's shoulders as he stops and shakes. "I'm sorry. The stories of the monsters were false, but that doesn't mean we don't have monsters..."
07[23:18] * +Blastwave just shakes and seeths trying to calm himself down. He couldn't imagine why ponies would do that. Alicorns made sense, they were lost and confused. Bloodwings were monsters, and they were to be expected. Even the Enclave personel thought they were just retaliating for the attack at Maripony, but this... it was just senseless.
04[23:18] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> A tear runs down Moonlight`s_Shimmer's cheek when Kirengo stops talking
06[23:19] * Hoard is now known as kashin
07[23:19] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and sighs, her head dropping lower. All this talk about raiders... her being reminded about Maribel /twice/... she takes a shaky breath and fights back tears of her own. Today. Sucked.
15[23:22] * +Kirengo was, admittedly, including the old Unity alicorns in his definition of 'monsters'. "Kicking things usually helps me... At least gets me tired enough where I don't have the energy to be mad about ponies who have lost their sanity..."
07[23:23] * +Blastwave shakes his head, "i'm not even mad... I'm just... it's just a lot to... get used to..."
07[23:24] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffles. Sanity. She can't help but wonder how much of that she has, if any.
15[23:25] * +Kirengo "There's always the other option."
07[23:26] * +Blastwave looks up, "Other... option?"
15[23:26] * +Kirengo sighs and says softly, "Not getting used to it... Working to find some way to try and stop it."
07[23:26] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and opens her eyes to look up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. She immediately feels a little better and snuggles into the alicorn's wing. This is what she would want...
07[23:27] * +Blastwave "But how! If it's so... common."
07[23:28] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer lets out a sigh and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle, snuggling back into her and holding her tight with a wing
15[23:28] * +Kirengo "If I had that answer, don't you think I'd have done something already? Well I haven't because I don't. I'm just saying... stuff like that's happened before..."
07[23:30] * +Blastwave arghs and rubs the back of his head in frsutration. "Stop the enclace, rebuild freindship city, end the reign of insane raiders. I have my immortality cut out for me."
15[23:31] * +Kirengo manages a bit of a smile. "At least it won't be boring, huh?"
07[23:32] * +Blastwave grimmaces and nods, "Yeah. If I make it that far, but that's half the fun."
07[23:32] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles. "That's one way of looking at it..."
07[23:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles a bit
15[23:33] * +Kirengo smirks. "Oh you'll make it. Assuming you don't... get... hit..." He closes his eyes and takes a very deep breath as he chews on his tongue.
07[23:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's smiles fades and is instantly replaced by a look of extreme sadness as she realizes something...
04[23:34] * +Blastwave blinks and reahces out a hood to Kirengo, "Hey, are you okay?"
07[23:34] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and sighs, her smile fading as well. Dammit... just could /not/ be happy today, can we?"
[23:35] <+Clipped_Cantle> (delete that random ")
15[23:35] * +Kirengo "Yeah. Fine. We're all alive. They're all dead. Good day."
07[23:36] * +Blastwave retracts his hoof, "Wow, you're a terrible liar."
15[23:38] * +Kirengo opens his eyes again. "Yes, I'm fine." He shifts a bit to get a better look at Blast's face. "But are you? You got smacked in the face with lightning. Granted that was after you set me and Clipped on fire, so you kinda deserved it."
07[23:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle against her chest and begins to cry
07[23:39] * +Blastwave rubs his cheek where he got hit, "Yeah, fine..." It really stung, but he wasn't going to say anything. "I'm sorry about the fire thing... and the greande..."
07[23:39] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer's neck, pressing into the alicorn's chest.
07[23:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hangs her head and just cries...
15[23:41] * +Kirengo starts to reply to Blastwave when he hears Moon crying behind him. He turns around and just blinks. "Wait, what's wrong now?"
07[23:41] * +Blastwave "I think she's upset that she zapped me..."
07[23:41] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is upset about a /lot/ of things...
15[23:42] * +Kirengo blinks. "B-but... I-I didn't even yell... Did I? I tried hard not to..."
07[23:43] * +Clipped_Cantle hugs Moonlight`s_Shimmer's neck and sighs.
04[23:43] * +Blastwave waves a hoof, "You're fine Kiren."  he looks over at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "Moon... you did fine. You saved Fish's life, you're a hero.'
[23:45] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "N-n-no w-we are n-not...hurting your a-allies is...n-not the definition of a h-hero..."
07[23:46] * +Blastwave shrugs, "It's the black of night, things are chaotic, accidents happen. Heroes can make mistakes, so long as they learn and grow from them."
07[23:46] * +Clipped_Cantle nods against Moonlight`s_Shimmer's neck.
07[23:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffles then continues to cry
15[23:48] * +Kirengo decides not to point something out to Moon... not the time... "Are we turning the boat around?"
07[23:48] * +Blastwave "Around?"
15[23:50] * +Kirengo "Back to Bucklyn. We have six potions, a stowaway, and an extra boat."
[23:51] <+Clipped_Cantle> "And Fish is still banged up. He needs rest..."
[23:51] <+Clipped_Cantle> She*
07[23:51] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffle then looks up momentarily "W-we would like to...continue...if possible...w-we do not wish t-to have failed our mission."
07[23:52] * +Blastwave "Well I figure. We take both ships to the SPP. By then Fish should be healthy enough to go back to Bucklyn, and can take the stoway with him, er, her."
[23:53] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Wouldn't be failing anyway, Moon... just delaying, but..." She sighs. "Depends on how our guest feels when she wakes up, I guess."
[23:53] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "W-we do not think it would be wise to leave them by themselves..."
15[23:54] * +Kirengo "Failed implies there's a deadline... There isn't, I already checked." He sighs. "Okay, we need more health potions... that's just.. a fact. How about you guys keep the boat going the way it is, I take the loot and the injured back to Bucklyn by air, sell the loot, buy some potions, and then get back to the boat before you get to the tower."
07[23:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffles "T-there...may be some in the loot..."
07[23:56] * +Clipped_Cantle hmms. "That could work... so long as that mare is ok... She's what I'm most concerned about right now... I can't imagine she is going to be particularly happy when she wakes up."
15[23:57] * +Kirengo "Take Fish back, at least..."
07[23:58] * +Blastwave "I can come with you if the mare wants to fly."
Session Time: Sun Aug 05 00:00:00 2012
07[00:00] * +Clipped_Cantle shudders at the thought of flying.
07[00:02] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle tighter to her chest...continuing to cry
13[00:02] * +Blastwave (coolsmile@Pony-s766e7.nb.bellaliant.net) Quit (Quit: See you !)
15[00:02] * +Kirengo sighs. "Moon, what's wrong?"
06[00:03] * No_One (coolsmile@Pony-s766e7.nb.bellaliant.net) has joined #Space_RP
06[00:03] * ChanServ sets mode: +v No_One
15[00:03] * +Kirengo sighs. "Moon, what's wrong?" (Repost)
06[00:03] * No_One is now known as Blastwave
07[00:03] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and nuzzles her.
07[00:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle back gently "I-it is n-nothing...w-we j-just...realized...something...and..." she wipes her eyes with a wing "I-it is nothing to worry about."
15[00:05] * +Kirengo "You realized something and now you're sobbing... definitely something to worry about..."
07[00:05] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Talk to us, Moon... please."
[00:06] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "N-no...it is silly."
07[00:07] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns. "Silly doesn't make you cry... What's wrong?"
15[00:07] * +Kirengo sighs.
07[00:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle close to her "We...will live on without...you..e-eventually m-maybe.. W-we are afraid...and we do not wish to be a-alone..."
04[00:10] * +Blastwave frowns, "Oh... that is a depressing thought..." he sort of glances at Kirengo
15[00:10] * +Kirengo "Oh c'mon, you and Blast will have each other."
07[00:10] * +Clipped_Cantle winces.
15[00:11] * +Kirengo "And besides, me and Clipped'll be here for like at least a hundred years. Loooooong time to go before worrying about any of that immortality stuff."
07[00:11] * +Blastwave did he just get set up with future moon?
07[00:12] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes. "Th-that's not... not silly, Moon... not... at all."
07[00:12] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer weeps, a lot
07[00:13] * +Clipped_Cantle can't help it... she starts crying into Moonlight`s_Shimmer's neck.
15[00:13] * +Kirengo drops his head. "Great..."
07[00:14] * +Blastwave watches the teary exchange and is not sure what to say. It was kind of depressing, but not that much, "Uh....:
15[00:16] * +Kirengo "Why not just cry about this in like sixty years when dying of old age is actually something to worry about?"
04[00:17] * +Blastwave facehooves, "Kiren, I'm going to have to put you through sensitivity training..."
07[00:17] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffles and wipes some of the tears from her eyes which are quickly replaced "W-we c-cannot help it..."
07[00:18] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head and keeps crying, slowly pulling away from Moonlight`s_Shimmer. She knows that feeling... that feeling of losing someone you love... of outliving them... she... she can't do that to Moon...
15[00:19] * +Kirengo blinks at Blastwave then looks back at the cryings mares with a frown. "Sorry. I'll be out here if you need me." He gets up and turns around to walk out of the quarters and back onto the deck.
04[00:19] * +Blastwave blinks and follows after Kirengo not saying anything until they are on deck, "Kiren..."
07[00:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues crying and then opens her eyes to look at Clipped_Cantle, figuring maybe she wanted to head to the captain's cabin to try and go to sleep as she feels her pull away
15[00:21] * +Kirengo walked to the nearest raider body and started peeling the armor off of it. He answers without looking up from the work. "Yeah?"
07[00:22] * +Blastwave watches what he's doing with a little bit of disgust, "You're not mad are you?"
15[00:22] * +Kirengo "Mad about what?" He finishes the first one and moves onto the second.
07[00:23] * +Clipped_Cantle pulls away until she isn't touching Moonlight`s_Shimmer, avoiding her gaze and crying even harder. Goddesses it hurt to do this... it hurt so much... it's going to hurt Moon, too... "I... I can't... We can't do this... I can't hurt you like that, Moon... I... I'm sorry..."
07[00:24] * +Blastwave "Uh... you just sort of... walked off suddenly. So i thought maybe..." he pauses. "i'm a dumbass."
15[00:24] * +Kirengo blinks. He stops what he's doing and looks up at Blastwave. "Do what?"
07[00:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and her tears abruptly stop as she stares at Clipped_Cantle "C-c-clipped? W-wh-wha-what...?"
07[00:25] * +Blastwave tilts his head, "What? I never do anything?"
15[00:26] * +Kirengo blinks. "I walked off because I just can't talk to them sometimes. I say something and they get mad. I say something else and they cry. Try to fix that and they cry harder. Only solution is to just shut up and walk away. Now what are you talking about?"
07[00:27] * +Blastwave has no idea what was with his previous segue, "Uh, I said you needed sensitivity training and then you walked off, so i thought it annoyed you?"
07[00:29] * +Clipped_Cantle takes a shaky breath, still crying hard. "I c-can't... if... y-you'll outlive me... I c-can't... I've... b-been through... that... I... j-just can't..." She flops to the floor. "If... if... if we s-stop now... it'll hurt, b-but you w-will... get over it. Over me... then you... you don't have to... go t-through what I did... Goddesses I'm so sorry Moon..." She would never get over the...
07[00:29] * +Clipped_Cantle ...alicorn, though.
15[00:30] * +Kirengo "I walked off because you're probably right." He sighs. "I don't know. All I know is that me staying in there probably would've led to something even more stupid getting said..." He turns back and resumes taking the armor off the second raider.
07[00:31] * +Blastwave goes to help him with the raider, "Unfortunetly emotions are arely dictated by logic. You're probably right its a bad time to cry about the other dying, but that doesn't make them hurt less."
15[00:34] * +Kirengo gets real quiet for a couple minutes as they finish taking the armor off. He glances back up at Blastwave when they're done. "I mean... I'll live for a real good long time, what with all the zebra magic stuff... But barring accidents... stupidity... or getting charred to death by our pet alicorn... you'll still outlive me..."
04[00:34] * +Blastwave nods slowly and looks back up at Kirengo, "You could always jump in a toxic pit and become a ghoul."
15[00:35] * +Kirengo manages to keep himself from listing the other possibility.
15[00:35] * +Kirengo looks levelly at Blastwave. "I can't tell if that's a joke."
07[00:36] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stares at Clipped_Cantle through tear filled eyes "C-c-clip-ped n-n-no...." her legs begin to shake and she collapses to the floor. "P-p-ple-ease...n-n-no..." her whole body shivers as she stares wide eyed at Clipped_Cantle with her hooves covered over her head as the tears continue to fall down her face, "N-n-no...C-cli-pped..."
07[00:36] * +Blastwave "It was a bad joke..." he admits
15[00:37] * +Kirengo "Well there's..." He shakes his head. "Fifty years before it's even worth starting to think about..." He gets up and moves to the third raider, pointing at the armor this time. "Raiders have real special armor... usually made themselves or something. Nobody's stupid enough to wear anything like it, so if you see it... it's gonna be a raider."
07[00:39] * +Blastwave goes to help him and notices the armour, it does look like shit. "Fifty years is a long time. Who knows what will happen..." He wasn't even sure he'd live that long. This whole 'live forever' thing really hasn't properlly clicked
07[00:39] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, tears pouring down her face. "I... I... I d-don't... want to... I-I..." She curls up into a ball and wails, no longer able to form coherent words.
07[00:41] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer slowly gets up shakily and starts to move towards Clipped_Cantle "C-clip-ped?"
15[00:42] * +Kirengo chuckles hollowly as he takes the armor off. "Real long time... heck, if for some reason you decided to keep me around that long, you'd probably be so tired of me that you wouldn't be able to wait til I died and stopped pestering you."
07[00:43] * +Blastwave is silent for a long while as he picks up the raiders weapons and stows them. "Or more likliy you'll tire of my smell and throw me out."
15[00:45] * +Kirengo "We have... pastes and stuff... for that. I mean like other than baths..."
07[00:45] * +Clipped_Cantle can't do it... she can't bring herself to give Moon this lesser pain to save her greater pain later. She can't hurt the alicorn at all... seeing her breaking down like that... she just can't do it. It hurts too much. Selfish bitch. She slowly uncurls and looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
15[00:45] * +Kirengo "You'd smell like a radroach... or a bloatsprite... but..."
07[00:46] * +Blastwave chuckles softly but doesn't find it that humerous. "i don't know. it's a long time away. I don't want to think of you dying..." he sighs. "Is this the part where we vow undying love? because I'm not sure I'm ready for that."
07[00:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks down at Clipped_Cantle tears pouring down her cheeks "Y-you...p-p-lease d-do not l-leave us..."
15[00:48] * +Kirengo looks up at Blastwave. "Maybe... if we were over-sensitive gushy mushy mares."
07[00:50] * +Blastwave smirks a little, "I'm all for sensitivity, but sometimes I worry about those two. They really run with the concept." yay deflection
07[00:50] * +Clipped_Cantle gets to her hooves slowly, her head held low and almost touching the floor. "I-I won't... I can't. I'm sorry... I'm sorry, but I'm too selfish... I can't hurt you like that... not even... to save you from the bigger hurt all those years away... assuming we even make it that far. I'm... I'm sorry, I'm selfish and I want to be with you and I don't deserve you... I will... do everything I can...
07[00:50] * +Clipped_Cantle ...to make our time... to make you happy... to make up for... it... when it happens." Because that makes sense, make her happier so when you /do/ die it just hurts more. Perfect logic, Clipped.
15[00:51] * +Kirengo smiles a bit as well. "With the... the tail tangling and the side snuggling and the competitive crying contests..."
07[00:52] * +Blastwave "Well... those first two aren't /that/ bad."
15[00:54] * +Kirengo snorts. "Right, right..." He tosses the armor up into a pile. "Can't say I'm fond of the thought of you dying either, though." Or going feral... going feral would hurt...
07[00:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer moves up to Clipped_Cantle and hugs her with all of her limbs, laying down on the floor and craddling her "N-no...we do not deserve you...y-you are not selfish, y-you are risking your life for ponies y-you don't even know..." she sobs and holds Clipped_Cantle
07[00:55] * +Blastwave "I survived Balefire, I'm pretty sure that's not happening..."
15[00:58] * +Kirengo "Wanna get zapped some more and put that to the test?"
07[00:59] * +Blastwave gulps and shakes his head rubbing the wound, "I'll pass...'
07[00:59] * +Clipped_Cantle presses her body against Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "To make myself feel better! To escape from the pain of losing someone I loved... the same pain I'm eventually going to cause you. Rather then... do the right thing... and break it off now... when it will hurt but you'll be fine I choose to stay with you because I can't stand the pain of hurting you! It's all about me... all... about me..." She...
07[00:59] * +Clipped_Cantle ...starts sobbing once a gain.
15[01:00] * +Kirengo "Still hurt?"
07[01:01] * +Blastwave quickly puts his hoof back down, "I'll live. Er, in a manner of speaking."
15[01:01] * +Kirengo "We're surrounded by radiation, you know."
07[01:02] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sobs harder and holds Clipped_Cantle to her tighter "No! Do not tell yourself that! Without you we would be lost! W-we....you have taught us so many things...do..do not do this to yourself! W-we will not allow you to mentally and verbally punish yourself because you are wrong!"
07[01:02] * +Blastwave pauses "I know... I didn't want to worry you."
06[01:02] * kashin is now known as Sagittis
15[01:03] * +Kirengo smiles faintly. "Take a swim, Blast."
07[01:04] * +Blastwave does a duble backflip and dives into the water
15[01:05] * +Kirengo pouts. He'd hoped for resistence on that one... He moves over to the raider bodies and starts pushing them towards the edge. "How's the water?"
07[01:08] * +Blastwave surfaces a few minutes later, "Warm... well to me at least."
07[01:09] * +Clipped_Cantle keeps sobbing against Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "It's the truth... I've... been lying to myself all these years... it's easy to... help somepony who's dying... patch them up, th-they thank you... you feel better. That's... easy... the... the first time I have... to make a choice... and I have to choose... between lessening my... my pain or... or yours... I choose myself..."
15[01:10] * +Kirengo chortles. He turns around and starts to push the bodies off the side of the ship when he suddenly stops. Blast had issues with so much other stuff down here... "Hey Blast, there uh, anything you want to do for these bodies?"
07[01:11] * +Blastwave blinks at the bodies, "In the Enclave we burn bodies... but... whatever is normal here. Thats more for practical reasons..."
07[01:14] * +Kirengo "Don't exactly have a fire..." He lowers his head again and proceeds to push the bodies off the side of the boat and into the water... making them land away from Blastwave, of course.
04[01:15] * +Blastwave lands on the boat beside Kirengo but doesn't help, "It's fine..." they didn't deserve a proper funeral anyway.
07[01:17] * +Kirengo "Now they get to feed the lurks and the radigators and all sorts of other critters..."
07[01:18] * +Blastwave "The what?"
07[01:18] * +Kirengo "Lurks or radigators?"
02[01:18] * +Kirengo (OrangeYosh@Pony-44m.jmt.11.66.IP) Quit (Quit: )
07[01:18] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hugs Clipped_Cantle tighter to her chest and brings her up to face level, and holds her face in front of her own "No. You are wrong. Please. Do not do this to yourself. We would much rather have you now then not have you at all. Please. We do not even know if we are going to live that long. We would give our life to protect yours. We love you Clipped, we cannot allow you to hate
07[01:18] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer yourself for this. We will not allow it, please stop...you are not increasing our pain, you are making it go away, do not do this to yourself." she begins to nuzzle the mare furiously "We love you, and would not have this any other way. Please stop, you are lying to yourself..."
06[01:19] * RainbowYoshi is now known as Kirengo
07[01:19] * +Blastwave "Yes, what are those?"
15[01:20] * +Kirengo "Uh... you know what a crab and an alligator is?"
07[01:21] * +Blastwave "I've seen pictures in books..."
15[01:22] * +Kirengo nods. "Well a lurk is a friggen massive crab, walks on two legs, huuuuge claws. A radigator is just... a massive mutated up alligator."
07[01:23] * +Blastwave nods very slowly, "Does the wasteland have any animals that aren't abominations that want to tear of the heads of equines and drink their blood?"
15[01:24] * +Kirengo "Dogs."
07[01:25] * +Blastwave "I don't think Ginger liked me either..."
15[01:25] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes. "Okay, -most- dogs. And I saw a guy befriend a mole rat one time."
07[01:26] * +Blastwave "I see. The wasteland is weird and trying to kill me..."
15[01:26] * +Kirengo "It already did that, remember?"
07[01:27] * +Blastwave adds, "More."
15[01:28] * +Kirengo lifts a forehoof up and gives a weak kicking motion. "Well I won't let it."
07[01:29] * +Blastwave blushes a little, "I... thanks. You too."
07[01:29] * +Clipped_Cantle stares into Moonlight`s_Shimmer's eyes, then returns her nuzzle, once again alarmed by how little she felt... but that is for later. She promised to make Moon happy... and she wasn't doing that right now... "I... I... ok... I'll... I'll stop... for you. I love you too, Moon..." Which is why it hurts so damn much. She pauses to consider Moon's words. Rather have me now then not have me......
07[01:29] * +Clipped_Cantle ...don't know if she'll live that long... making her pain go away... she sighs. All a matter of... perspective, it seems. She was still being selfish, but...it wasn't pure selfishness... she wasn't the truly altruistic soul she pretended to be... but selfish? Give her life... She'd give her life to save Moon's, too... still not completely altruistic... she didn't think she could live without...
07[01:29] * +Clipped_Cantle ...the alicorn at this point, but.... She manages a small smile and kisses Moon on the cheek. "Sorry... I was being foalish... I love you, Moon... f-forgive me for... almost making a huge, huge mistake...."
15[01:29] * +Kirengo holds that same forehoof up to his mouth and clears his throat. "So uh... how's your face?"
07[01:31] * +Blastwave smiles weakly, "Well it's better. It's a little sore, but nothing to worry about. Hurt like hell at the time though."
15[01:31] * +Kirengo has a look of deep contemplation come over his face.
07[01:32] * +Blastwave walks over slowly, "You okay?"
15[01:33] * +Kirengo "You just... said it was still a little sore." A faint blush starts to appear on his face.
07[01:34] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kisses Clipped_Cantle on the lips, holding it for a few seconds "Of course we forgive you! We love you Clipped...we will always forgive you...and you were not being foalish..." she moves to give her another kiss
07[01:34] * +Blastwave matches his look of deep contemplation. "Then you know what much be done."
15[01:35] * +Kirengo slowly leans forward to kiss that spot on his cheek that Blastwave had been rubbing earlier.
07[01:36] * +Blastwave tries his very best to keep his face perfectly serious as this happens but can't help but crack a smile
07[01:37] * +Clipped_Cantle kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and licks her lips when the alicorn speaks. When she moves to kiss her again she meets the mare halfway and presses her muzzle roughly into Moon's, putting all the force and fire she can muster behind it.
15[01:39] * +Kirengo kisses his cheek lightly and pulls back, wiggling his nose a little bit. There's... there's a bit of a smile there, too. "How's uh... how's... how's that?"
07[01:39] * +Blastwave is still smiling like a  fool, "Ah look at that, it's all better. Like magic."
15[01:41] * +Kirengo 's blush grows. "N-no problem." He clears his throat again. "Should we uh... should we check on the mares and see if they've cried themselves to sleep yet?"
07[01:41] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer pushes her muzzle back into Clipped_Cantle's with as much force she can muster as well (STR 3, which isn't a whole lot lol) running her wings down Clipped's sides and wrapping her forehooves around the mare's small neck
07[01:43] * +Blastwave leans in a little, "Do was have to? by know they're usually having sex, and I don't want to see that..."
15[01:46] * +Kirengo "Well I did... I guess not."
07[01:46] * +Blastwave blinks, "You want to see two mares having sex?" Curious and curiouser.
15[01:48] * +Kirengo blinks. "What? No. Not like that specifically or anything. I wanted to just see if they'd gotten past crying about whatever it was I'd said."
07[01:48] * +Clipped_Cantle shivers in Moonlight`s_Shimmer's embrace and lifts her forelegs up to wrap around the larger mare's neck, her hindlegs wrapping around her barrel to cling to her like some sort of pony-like leech. She sends her tongue to dance with Moon's, overjoyed by the taste of the mare. The feel of her lips. Her cheeks and face may not be feeling much... but her tongue and lips worked just fine.
07[01:49] * +Blastwave "Over what you said? You mgive yourself too much credit, they were crying long before that.." he smirks. "Lets go find out then,"
15[01:51] * +Kirengo gives Blastwave a light shove then gets up to walk back to the crew quarters and peek inside.
04[01:51] * +Blastwave follows after because all the better to stare at Kirengo's ass
07[01:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer mmmmmmms and kisses Clipped_Cantle furiously, overjoyed to be able to taste the mare she loved's lips, tongue, mouth...she runs her wings back up her sides and wraps them around Clipped_Cantle's back, continuing the kiss until the smaller mare ended it...because she sure as hell wasn't, being relived that she wasn't leaving her...
15[01:57] * +Kirengo "Okay... I think they got over it..."
04[01:57] * +Blastwave flaps over Kirengo to peek in too, "That looks uncomfortable."
04[01:58] * +Clipped_Cantle does eventually break the kiss... very reluctantly... and rests her muzzle against Moonlight`s_Shimmer's. She blinks and freezes for a moment when she hears Kirengo and Blastwave's voices, and sloooowly turns her head to look at them, blush forming at a much faster rate.
15[01:59] * +Kirengo says a bit louder, "I sure hope Clipped is always on top. I think she might get smushed to death otherwise."
07[01:59] * +Blastwave eye contacts with Clipped_Cantle. Blushes profusely and slowly floats backwards out of view
04[02:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is lying on her back with Clipped_Cantle on top of her...and she is perfectly comfortable, she nuzzles Clipped_Cantle, then blinks looking over at Blastwave and Kirengo then blushing furiously
15[02:02] * +Kirengo begins blushing furiously as well. "Well have fun ya'll!" He pulls his head back out of the crew quarters and walks back up towards the bow, giggling madly.
04[02:03] * +Blastwave is blushing a lot and Kiren giggling doesn't help
07[02:03] * +Clipped_Cantle just stares at the now empty doorway, still blushing furiously. Eventually she meeps and goes boneless on top of Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
07[02:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer and Clipped_Cantle are now a pile of boneless blushing pony
15[02:05] * +Kirengo stops and leans up against the door to the wheelhouse and captain's cabin, still giggling like a maniac. He looks over at the blushing Blastwave and only giggles harder. "So worth it!"
04[02:06] * +Blastwave lands in front of Kirengo and smirks, "How would you like it if somepony caught you in the middle of a kiss?"
04[02:08] * +Clipped_Cantle eventually giggles and lifts her head to look at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, her face still a tomato. "W-well... I'd... like to... h-have fun... like Kirengo said... b-but..." She gestures to the mare and Fish.
15[02:08] * +Kirengo has only calmed down with the giggles a bit, he's still laughing pretty hard. "It'd probablly... kill the mood... totally... hate it..."
07[02:09] * +Blastwave smirks and tries supressing a laugh. "You're so evil."
15[02:09] * +Kirengo waves a hoof, "Zebra thing..."
07[02:12] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer chuckles and kisses Clipped_Cantle on the forehead "We will head over to the other boat if we must." she blinks "Er...on second thought we think the captain's cabin will suffice."
07[02:13] * +Blastwave leans closer still smirking, "Racist."
15[02:16] * +Kirengo 's laughter slows as Blastwave gets closer. "But... but it's... so true..." His face is still beet red and he's got a goofy grin.
07[02:17] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and bites her lip. She didn't want to leave that poor mare alone... but she wanted Moon /bad/ right now... and Moon... captain's cabin. Yeah... "Yeah... that... sounds like... a plan..." She mumbles, staring down at Moonlight`s_Shimmer with a grin.
04[02:19] * +Blastwave leans so close his lips touch Kiren's. He figured he might as well go with it at that point and kisses his giggling stallion.
07[02:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles at Clipped_Cantle and levitates her off of her and then onto her back, heading out of the room for the captain's cabin
07[02:20] * +Clipped_Cantle clings to Moonlight`s_Shimmer's neck, smiling and giggling at the 'fun' to come as she is taxi'd
15[02:21] * +Kirengo is right in front of the door to the captain's cabin... his face gets even redder, if that was even possible, as Blastwave's lips touch his own. He blinks a couple of times then simply leans forward, pushing his muzzle into Blastwave's squishy one.
04[02:22] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stops when she sees Kirengo and Blastwave and stares at them blushing a bit and trying to stifle a laugh. She fails at that.
07[02:22] * +Blastwave has earned the achivement Striped Fraternization: Kiss a Zebra, and have him kiss back.
07[02:23] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks around Moonlight`s_Shimmer's neck and giggles at the kissing stallions. Payback's a bitch.
15[02:26] * +Kirengo doesn't exactly realize the mares are there yet. He's in the middle of a kiss. He pushes off of the cabin door and steps forward, getting his body closer to Blastwave's while maintaining the kiss.
04[02:27] * +Blastwave has his eyes closed and is okay with the closeness wrapping his right foreleg around Kirengo's neck
07[02:29] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer can not hold it in anymore and bursts into a loud giggle fit
04[02:29] * +Clipped_Cantle can't help herself. She calls out to Kirengo and Blastwave. "You two go ahead and use the captain's cabin tonight... we'll keep an eye on Fish and that mare." She smirks. "And have fun!" She nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Let's go back below decks... we can put two of the mattresses together so there is something big enough for you to lie on for sleep."
04[02:30] * +Blastwave lets go of Kirengo and jumps back into the air blushing so red smoke was coming out of his ears, "How long were you standing there!"
04[02:31] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer grins at Blastwave and Kirengo "Precisely one minute and twenty seven seconds."
15[02:31] * +Kirengo becomes aware of the giggling in the background... but he wasn't about to break this off just cause he was getting watched. He unfurls his wing... and then stops as Clipped_Cantle speaks. He stomps a hoof as Blastwave jumps back. Dangit! He turns around and waves his wings and a hoof at the mares. "Get out of here!"
15[02:32] * +Kirengo basically has a red coat with black stripes right now.
04[02:32] * +Blastwave is just a bndly of ghoulish red... and looks a little bit shocked by Kirengo's outburst. He had expected he'd get more deflective
04[02:34] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks and nods at Kirengo. "Sure... we were just heading to the one place with a bed big enough for Moon, you know, but like I said we can combine two of the smaller ones downstairs." She giggles and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer again. "Come on, Moon. Let's let them have their fun tonight."
07[02:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer giggles "Fine then, we will leave you to your...activities." she takes Clipped_Cantle back to the crew quarters
15[02:35] * +Kirengo "Gah! We're not the cabin... take it..." He turns around, hoping they'd either just leave or get into the cabin and looks at Blastwave.
15[02:35] <+Kirengo> not using the cabin*
07[02:36] * +Blastwave watches them leave with a bright red blush, "T-that wasn't my plan..."
15[02:37] * +Kirengo "Really? Cause the timing was like..."
07[02:37] * +Blastwave groans, "I know. Fate hates me."
07[02:39] * +Clipped_Cantle hops off Moonlight`s_Shimmer's back, stifling giggles as best she can so as to not wake Fish or the mare, and hauls a mattress off one of the crew beds.
07[02:39] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer levitates over another mattress and sets it down next to the one Clipped_Cantle grabbed
15[02:40] * +Kirengo looks back and forth after the mares disappear. He steeles himself then slowly walks back over towards Blastwave. "So... was I right?"
07[02:41] * +Blastwave raises an eyebrow, "Right about what?" He's still blushing a lot, silly ghoul
15[02:42] * +Kirengo is blushing at least just as much. "About uh... killing the mood..."
07[02:42] * +Blastwave hmms, "Lets find out..." he leans in to continue the kiss, and the socialogical experience
07[02:42] * +Clipped_Cantle sits on the impromptu bed and smiles at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "We'll get our turn again, sometime. Just park the boat at night again or something. With only the two of us... trying to drive this thing for 12 hours would be... ugh."
15[02:44] * +Kirengo blinks in surprise, but is very happy to be able to continue the kiss. He brings his right wing up and wraps it around the ghoul's neck, deciding this time that he had a good idea what his lips felt like, might be a good time to see what ghoul tongue felt like too.
07[02:45] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer lays down on her side on the bed and pulls Clipped_Cantle into her legs, wrapping her in her wings "We love you Clipped."
04[02:46] * +Blastwave gets pulled into the kiss with the wing and is really not complaining at all. He looks a bit shocked kiren's tongue slips into his mouth but goes with it. For the record ghoul tounges are also squishy!
07[02:47] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and cuddles with Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Love you too, Moon."
07[02:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and holds Clipped_Cantle against her, just gazing down into her eyes, unable to sleep at the moment
15[02:50] * +Kirengo runs his tongue slowly across Blastwave and the inside of the rest of his mouth, holding the kiss firmly for a good while. He breaks the kiss slowly, but leaves his head and wing where they are. "Blast?"
04[02:50] * +Blastwave smacks his lips together and stares dreamily as the kiss breaks off. That was good, surprisngly good. "Hmm, yes Kiren?"
07[02:51] * +Clipped_Cantle rests her nose against Moonlight`s_Shimmer and stares back into her eyes. Despite not getting enough the previous night... sleep was still a ways off for her, too.
15[02:56] * +Kirengo is rapidly coming up with phrases and sentences and words to deflect the focus of the situation... that kiss had been good... squishy ghoul or not, at least the inside of his mouth didn't taste bad, and tongues were already pretty squishy. After tossing out half a dozen phrases, he gives up and just decides to relish the moment. "Mmm... nothing... You wanna head back to the bow or up in the cabin?" They could take off the armor in the cabin, but the bow would have a nicer environment...
07[02:58] * +Blastwave gulps and chews on his lower lip to think. The kiss was really good, but he still was not certain he wanted to take things further. okay, he wanted to, but he wasn't sure if he should. Rushing into things tended to end in tears and hurt feelings. On the otherhoof going into the cabin didn't mean they'd do anything, and he was probably overthinking. "Bow."
07[02:59] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and plants a small kiss on Clipped_Cantle's nose...for once she realized...she was happy...she'd experienced happiness before...but never truly realized the feeling until now...
15[03:00] * +Kirengo nods a bit, his cheeks still burning red. He hadn't intended to 'do anything' in a cabin, other than cuddle without armor between them. He pulls his head back and turns his body and starts walking for the bow.
07[03:01] * +Clipped_Cantle kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer's chin when she kisses her nose, smiling broadly at the smile on the alicorn's face. "I love seeing you happy, Moon."
04[03:02] * +Blastwave didn't know for sure and was clearly overthinking things and worrying too much. He leans against Kirengo as he walks feeling a little bit silly
15[03:04] * +Kirengo slowly lays down at the bow, his wing still wrapped around Blastwave.
07[03:04] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "As do we love seeing you filled with happiness." she runs a wing tip down Clipped_Cantle's neck and spine
04[03:05] * +Blastwave hmms to himself and nuzzles at Kirengo's neck. Yeah life down he kind of sucked... but it wasn't so bad.
15[03:08] * +Kirengo brings his head over and nuzzles at Blastwave's throat. "Thank you."
07[03:08] * +Blastwave hmms, "What, what did I do?"
07[03:09] * +Clipped_Cantle shivers and chuckles at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Have I mentioned that I love how soft your wings are?"
15[03:11] * +Kirengo is quiet for several moments before quietly offerings, "I... I don't know. I just felt the need to say it."
07[03:12] * +Blastwave chuckles softly, "Alright... thank you to..." He looks up into the darkened night. He missed the moon, it would have made the sly so much prettier.
07[03:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles brightly "We do not think so...although we are not sure if we think they are very soft...that is probably because we are so used to them...have we mentioned how you are extremely cuddlesome? This is nice...we enjoy laying with you greatly."
15[03:16] * +Kirengo scoots up against Blastwave and adjusts his wing around the ghoul a bit before laying his head down between his own forelegs and Blast's forlegs.
07[03:16] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles and snuggles deeper into Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "They are very, very soft... and warm... and... nice. Very nice." She beams a smile up at the alicorn. "I love just lying with you, too... just... touching you." She takes a deep breath of the mare's chest coat. "Smelling you... I just... love being near you..."
07[03:17] * +Blastwave leans down to kiss the silly confused zebra on the top of the head
15[03:17] * +Kirengo 's ears flick a bit at the kiss and the silly confused zebra chuckles softly.
07[03:20] * +Blastwave notices his ears flick and gets  asilly idea... but throws it away. Ear noming was cute, but probably not for a ghoul...
06[03:20] * Sagittis is now known as kashin_Dust_work
07[03:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped in her les and wraps her wings completely around Clipped_Cantle making it pretty much impossible for the tiny mare to move without actually trying, snuggling with Clipped and kissing her on the forehead once again "We do as well..." she eventually drifts off to sleep staring into Clipped_Cantle's eyes
15[03:24] * +Kirengo wouldn't mind... so long as he didn't start getting -ideas- in that ghouly brain of his... He tightens his grip a bit with his wing then lifts his head up and sets it on Blastwave's forelegs and gives a long sigh.
04[03:24] * +Blastwave rests his head on top of Kirengo's. "Hmm. Was that  ahappy sigh or a sad one?"
06[03:25] * Clipped_Cantle is now known as Menti|Sleep
15[03:25] * +Kirengo whispers as his eyes close, "Happy."
07[03:26] * +Blastwave closes his eyes as well, and then sighs. "Good."
