Skyfall Group: Session 16

<Schorcht> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Schorcht> Pain.
<Schorcht> Everyone knows this. It's universal. But is it always just physical? Or can it be more than that? Memories from the past full of regret and sin, words to make you think less of yourself, and actions just to spite you. Almost all actions have the possibility to cause pain even if done for 'good'.
<Schorcht> But right now, our adventurous group knows the physical part all too well. Each hang on to dear life... but why?... well, everyone has their reasons...
<Schorcht> **Session Begins**
<Schorcht> We rejoin the action back in the overhanging foremares office that recently had explosive reconstructions done to it. Mouse hangs over the edge of the large opening in the side that now exists by one hoof, her wings crippled. DT, Noire, Bubblegum_Dreamer, Brittle and Roulette were forced into the walls leaving indents in the shape of their bodies. The fire fights out on the factory floor seem to be dying out.
<Noire> "Ugh ..." Noire said as he struggled to get back up.
* DT staggers to his hooves and shakes his head.  "Fuck me..." he curses.  Damn it, they couldnt take much more of this.  He needed to protect everyone!  Those minotaurs wouldn't get another shot off.
<Mouse> "Fuck..ing shits." Screams in pain while struggeling to hang on.
* Roulette what was with this day? It was filled with nothing but pain. Oh how she wished she could rewind time and not leave the bed today. Her body was heavy almost unable to move at all , her eyes closed from the pain.
* Brittle slowly detatches from the wall and lands on the floor in a crumpled heap. "...Ow..."
* Bubblegum_Dreamer coughs, and then cracks his neck, or maybe it broke. He really hoped it didn't break. "Aww fuck!" He says as he tries to move himself to look up
* Noire takes notice of Mouse hanging on the edge. His eyes widening upon seeing her nearly falling down does he rushes over to assist Mouse back up!
<Schorcht> The overmare's office whines and shakes but eventually it settles. It loos to be holding up rather well actually.
* Roulette even after being flung into a wall still remained hooked to Dt's back out cold.
* Bubblegum_Dreamer sighs a bit, relieved. "Alright then. Lets try to get out of here if we can." He says, stretching himself, still not exactly taking a notice to what he looks like now.
* Noire manages to catch Mouse in time before she fell, bringing her back up.
<Mouse> "Th...anks." Breathing is difficult and staggers around  starting to black in and out.
<Schorcht> Wow. The intercomm looks to still be in working condition as well.
* DT eyes widen but Noire reacts faster.  "Nice catch"  He turns to check on Roulette on his back.  Frightend he gives her a little nudge and a stroke.  "Shit...please tell me your still ok."
* Brittle struggles up to his hooves. "Are we all alive?"
* Roulette feels the gentle nudge and her eyes yet closed winces in pain " ow..." she muttered between the small shallow breaths of pain.
<Bubblegum_Dreamer> "More or less." He says with a chuckle. "Though stripy isn't." He says to noire, laughing.
<Noire> "You're welcome." Noire said in an exhausted voice. He then took a look at where Bubblegum was and appeared shocked for a moment. "... Ogbanje?"
* DT sighs in relief.  "Just hold on alittle longer.  I'll go find Vanilla and get you a vat of healing potions."  He walks over to everyone else eying up Bubblegum.  "Yeah...I wouldn't be making jokes if I looked like you"
* Bubblegum_Dreamer blinks to both of them. "What?" He asked. "I'm actually alive." He looks towards his... hoof? "What the fuck." He says before he spreads his wings. "When... did I get bug wings?"
<Noire> "... I thought they were just a folk lore my people told young ones to scare them into going into bed." He said, still looking at disbelief for the creature that Bubblegum became.
<DT> "About the time I grew...things out of my shoulders."  He was still thinking about what they said to him.  He might need them to get them out of here.  "Wait you've heard of...whatever that is Noire?"
* Bubblegum_Dreamer blinks. "Wait what are you talking about Noire?" He asks, looking serious towards him. "You know what I am?"
* Brittle shakes his head, trying to banish the fuzzyness. "I just ate a minotaur whole so I'm willing to believe anything exists...though I will admit to wondering what the fuck I'm looking at."
* Noire nods to DT. "I've seen images of what they appear as, but I've never came to actually meet one." He then looked back to Bubblegum. "The Ogbanje as my tribe had taught me were a cursed race that fools others into feeding their energy by taking the form of loved ones ... that's at least what I've heard."
<Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Uhh... yeah except I never was one of those whatever you call them." He says with a dead pan expression. "I was dead about an hour ago until the Taint did... this." He gestures to himself.
<Noire> "... Had we all been altered by it?" He said outloud, giving a sigh as he took his surroundings. He wanted to make sure there was no one else coming towards them.
* Mouse fights to stay awake. "This... is all... fucked ..up,but can...we get some..where safe please." Gasps for air struggeling to stay alive.
* DT hmms..."Can you change back?  Actually I don't care, we need to get the fuck out of here.  It's...pretty likely Vanilla never woke up like the rest of us.  We need to get out of here.  Our mares are hanging by a thread here."
* Brittle stumbles over to the others. "I think we're all hanging by a thread...including this room."
* Bubblegum_Dreamer nods. "I say the strongest ones of us go and get the mares home. The others can look for Vanilla."
<Noire> "..." He doesn't say anything, but allows Mouse to get on his back.
* Bubblegum_Dreamer attempts to calm himself, trying to think back to what he saw in the reflection before he changed into this form
* Mouse shakes head. "I... can.. do ..it." Enclave never give up and always fight to the end on their own hooves.
* DT moves to the exit, thinking the elevator was shot, and tries to peer out to see anything.
<Noire> "... You can't do this alone Mouse." Noire said to Mouse.
<Schorcht> The elveator is indeed destroyed, but the car has slide down to the bottom leaving an empty intact shaft.
* Bubblegum_Dreamer has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
<DT> "Not much we can do there..." HE tries to look for the exit out onto the catwalks, remembering there was supposed to be two more catwalks that led to it.
<Mouse> "I.. can.."Coughs up blood." Enclave...strong."
<Schorcht> The side catwalks are indeed intact, and lead back down to the factory floor.
* Roulette nudges her head abit " healing....poitions... coat.." she muttered through the pain.
* DT looks around for any missile launcher wielding minotaurs.  "Oh shit you had more?!"  He tries to TK out a potion for her.
* Roulette lifts her self slightly so he could grab the 3 bottle's in her coat.
* Noire just shook his head. "Do you honestly think that simply believing that will make you win all the time? Why do you think the Enclave have lost so much already? Do you really think you want to repeat the same mistakes they made?" He said to Mouse.
<Schorcht> There looks to be a minotaur with a rocket launcher but as he tries to reload he is shot and overwelmed by slaves as they push onwards into the factory.
* Brittle nods, having followed the others. "At least we have backup."
<Mouse> Laughs. "I haven't." fights to breath. "Lost.. yet."
* Roulette manages to get down the potions down. She sighs abit feeling a little bit better. " thanks hun" she says still on his back laying there resting abit more.
* Noire just gave a sad look to Mouse. "... You really don't get it, do you? It's pointless to try and make you see it, isn't it?"
* DT nods with a chuckle.  "You should of said something eariler."  He gives a wave to everypony.  "Let's move out.  If you wanna walk then get trotting Mouse."  He starts out first, guns out and ready.
* Mouse follows behind dt wanting to prove herself as strong. "Neve... faulter."
* Roulette smiled abit still feeling abit weak " I was about too then I was flying" she giggled lightly before rolling off him landing on her hooves. More grace then earlier getting out of bed.
<Schorcht> Slowly but surely the group makes their way down the catwalk with Mouse being to slowest, and most stubborn as her legs prostest in pain with every step.
<Noire> "... You reminded me so much of myself you know, but now I can't think of that anymore." Noire said to Mouse as he followed the group.
* DT leads the way, eyes peeled.  He did not want another surprise rocket launcher today.
* Roulette Now that she was able to walk on her own four hooves , she had moved somewhat away from the group. She still could still clearly see ' monsters' in her eyes. She'd have to fake not being scared of them.
<Schorcht> Once on the ground floor all is quiet, no more fire fights, no more screaming. Just the light crackling of small fires remain.
* Noire just remains silent, not saying anything to anypony as he looks around, acting as if he was quite familiar with this scene.
* Roulette eyes were on the look out for weapons she could have/take.
* DT is glad to be back on solid ground, leave the heights for the turkeys.  "Hey you and me up front Noire.  We seem like we're in the best shape.  And does it seem...oddly quiet now?"
<Noire> "... It must mean that the battle is almost over." Noire said as he trots along with DT.
<Brittle> "Or something big showed up and scared everyone else off..."
<Schorcht> The ground begins to shake and the sound of hundreds of ponies can be heard as they stomp and charge from almost every crevase and opening they could. Quickly the group is outnumbered 50:1, and the ponies all point any weapon they have at them. Some of them look feared as they observe key members of the group. "Who are you!?" One of them shouts.
* Roulette puts her hooves up " we are the ones that free'd you all from oppression?" she blinks holding her hooves high.
* Noire appeared to calm himself down. He took off his hood and helmet as he began to speak to the ponies. "We came here to end Iron Mill and end his slavery practice he's done here. He's dead now."
* DT blinks.  Where did they all come from?  All he knew is they were pointing weapons.  "Easy now...We put him down personally."  He nods adding to Noire."
* Brittle nods. "Yeah....I kind of ate him...somehow..."
<Schorcht> Some of them blink and few ease up. Quickly the group starts whispering to each other in small groups, but hundreds of ponies whispering is still audible. A few whince at Brittle. Suddenly the entire group hushes and the crowd breaks and a pony moves forwards. "Are you here to enslave us as well?" He raises an eyebrow.
* Roulette shakes her head no " We do not wish to enslave you but we do wish to take over this mill if you deem us fit" she pauses for a moment " We dont plan on being like the pervious manigment" nods to self looking to the group.
* Noire shakes his head. "I don't believe in that. I believe in making the world recover into what it once was. The world has no need for such dishonorable things as slavery."
* DT knows whats coming next.  He taps Noire on the shoulder whispering, "Saying the milkmare sent us might make them trust us more."
* Noire shook his head to DT. "The Milkmare is no different than Iron Mill. We were sent by Stud Muffin after all, a pony who I trust far more than her."
* Noire then looks back to the mares. "But you're free now. You no longer need to be shackled by the chains of another person again."
* DT frowns.  "Saying that would make them think they're going to be sex slaves.  If we can play along we might be able to convice the Milkmare we did this for her, and she'll give us the info we need."
<Schorcht> The pony turns to the other and the whispering grow, and then stops and turns around. He nods to his left and the entire left half darts off, he nods to the right and they dart off. "They are heading to the other building to free the milkmares" He looks around at the destruction. "This place can be used to better Trottingham, but recently is has been focused on guns and bullets. Some of the ponies will not stay here because of w
<Mouse> Looks at all the ponies through blurred vision and smiles. Feeling the pride of being a soldier.
<Schorcht> Some of the ponies will not stay here because of what happened. Their memories forever scarred into their minds. We will work as equals. If, AND ONLY IF, you agree to our terms" He nods.
* Noire nods to the pony. "Very well. By my code of honor, I will do everything to ensure that you all work as equals."
* DT scoffs.  "Equals is one thing but some ponies need to remember its an unforgiving wasteland out there.  Not many will give jobs for so many ponies.  We would.  Figure that into your terms."
* Roulette too nods " of course , But shall we sit down and talk else wheres?" she asks looking around.
<Schorcht> He nods. "Firstly, we will apoint a represetative to act on our behave to seat with you on your board. Secondly, food and pay is a must. Thirdly, no physical, verbal, or mental abuse TO ANYPONY! Any will lead to serious repercusions"
* Roulette looks at the pony and nods " seems fair" she looks to the others tilting her head abit at them.
* Noire nods to him. "That sounds like something I can abide by. By my honor will I do everything to keep my vow to you." He said, placing a hoof to his chest.
* DT thinks that getting food is what the pay is for.  He grits his teeth but stays quiet.
<Schorcht> The pony nods. "Alrighy, you shall hear from us later today" A few ponies with medical supplies return and start treating your wounds. The pony turns to leave put fear strikes his face, "It's back!" He points to a winged figure flying towards one of the windows.
* Noire turns toward the window instantly. "Vanilla!?"
* Brittle takes a few steps away. Something that could scare such a large group...
* Roulette turns looking towards where they had been pointing " huh ?" she muttered.
* DT reacts as well!
<Schorcht> The figure flying through the room and lands abruptly. Her head tilts upwards and she smiles. "You guys are ok!" It's Vanilla Coke, but her fur has been turned to scales and her muscles have become more toned out. She stands as a pony however her hooves have been replaced with claws and her wings are now leathery. Fangs come out from her smile. Oddest of all is her mane and tail are as they were.
* Roulette blinks a few times and turns away and begins to trot off.
* Noire just blinked back in shock over what had become of Vanilla ... but, it could be worse.
* Mouse just thinks she's seeing shit from the loss of blood and giggels.
* DT gapes for a few moments.  "Your...ok too.  Thats good.  We took out Iron Mill."
* Brittle stops moving and stares.
<Schorcht> Vanilla smiles. "Yeah I'm ok" She raises a hoof... claw to her head. "Cept I can't remember the last hour or so..." The pony turns to the group. "You know this flying death trap?!"
* Noire looked to the pony. "... She didn't loose control of herself did she?" He said in worry.
* Roulette has stopped trotting away and turned a sat on her but next to one of the ponys in the group. But does no speak.
<Mouse> "Coke is ...a scaley.. claw monster." Giggels even more while gasping for air.
<Schorcht> The pony looks to Vanilla, his face still riddled with fear. "Well... the one that masacred eveyone was twice as big... but... they look the same..." He sighs. "I best get to the others and get things prepaired. We shall speak tonight" And he darts off.
* Roulette waves by to the leaving ponies. She turns her head and lets out a sigh 'acceptance' she thought to herself.
<Brittle> "Today is one of those days that people are going to tell stories about."
* Noire just paused, looking back at Coke with concern. He looked around her if she had the sword on her or not.
* DT walks up to coke.  He thinks how best to do this and just decides to be blunt.  "Have you...seen yourself yet?  We think we all fell into taint..."
<Schorcht> The sword still sits in her golf bag along with the rest of her stuff. Vanilla smiles. "And some of you don't look exactly the same" She sighs. "I'm pretty sure I'm part... or mostly dragon now..."
* Brittle nods. "Looks like...you pull it off honestly."
* DT laughs and pats her on the shoulder.  "It could be worse.  Well then I guess we did it.  Iron Mill now belongs to us!  We just need a better name."
* Roulette still sits in her spot watching the others , pulling her shades out placing them over her eyes. " Shall gather what we can from here , and await the meeting?" she glances to mouse " plus would not hurt to rest up before tonight" she smiled abit.
<Schorcht> Vanilla smiles brightly. "You think so?" She spreads her wings. They are much wider than before and she twirls around looking her self over. She ends with her rear end facing Brittle before she shakes it a little and bats her eyelashes at him.
* Brittle blinks. "Yes, I think you got the best possible outcome for...whatever this is."
<Mouse> " The gag factory."  Remembering what this factory is for.
* Noire appeared to sigh in relief, appearing for once to smile to the group. "I'd have a suggestion for a name."
* Roulette looks to Noire and smirks `nothing in zebra please`she said calmly keeping her smirk upon her face.
* DT laughs at Brittle and slugs him lightly in the shoulder with a wink.  He trots over to Roulette and sits, grinning.  "Well lets here it Noire!"
<DT> hear*
<Roulette> éme tilts her head now looking at Dt ' he looks normal ? , maybe I dident get enough sleep last night' she blushes lightly. Then looks back to Noire.
<Noire> "... The Ebony Kingdom. It's named after a story that my tribe had always told me when I was young."
* DT has quit (Connection closed)
* DT3055 ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaSkyfall
<Schorcht> Vanilla giggles. She quickly moves to Brittle's side and nuzzles his neck.
* Roulette looks to the floor and giggles at the name " maybe if we ever own a castle" she looks to him smiling. " also we should vote with their member as well."
<Mouse> "Sunvalley milk. We promise our milk is made fromthe happiest ponies making it taste like heaven. Have a glass and look to a bright future.
<Schorcht> Vanilla nods. "That's not bad too"
* Noire nods to Mouse. "It's not a bad name either."
* Brittle blinks again and blushes a little. "...She does have her own tagline Noire."
* Roulette nods at Mouses " I like it! "
<DT3055> "It's not like I could come up with anything better."
* DT3055 is now known as DT
* Roulette looks over to Dt and smiles " Well hun im'a head to town and do a lil shopping until the meeting tonight" she says slowly standing up.
<Schorcht> And with that, we leave our group contemplating their immediate future. What sort of revenue will they amass? Will it work out for them? And will it be successful? Only time will tell...
<Schorcht> *Chapter One: End*
* DT nods.  He was alittle worried about her, not quite knowing how the taint had affected her just yet....
