[10:12] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~SESSION 11~~~~~~
[10:12] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~DAY 10: SUNSHINE~~~~~~
[10:12] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~TIME: 18:00h - Manehattan, Bucklyn Applejack's Rangers Base, Improvised Pier~~~~~~
[10:12] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish Stick begins busying herself with tying up the boat with no name and sets up the gangplank, after maneuvering it into docking position and lowering the anchor.
07[10:12] * +Clipped_Cantle is belowdecks, finishing up removing the .32's from that saddle.
07[10:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is still asleep
07[10:13] * +Blastwave is also below deck, but that is just to get some armour to cover his shame. "Should we leave Moth and Ball here for now?"
15[10:14] * +Kirengo is probably measuring all the broken pieces of the railing to see exactly how much glue he'll need. He looks up as the boat gets tied up. "And... we're here."
07[10:16] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up from the saddle and nods at Blastwave. "Probably a good idea for now, yeah." She looks back at the saddle an makes a final adjustment, and the second rifle pops free. She tucks them both in her bags, then carries the saddle to the cargo hold and drops it off, yawning several times throughout the trip.
04[10:17] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish finishes up and turns to Kirengo as she does so, saying, "Could ya please try ta keep the boat-wreckin' to ...not punchin - or explodin' fer that matter - our boat? She -" Fish frowns a little,"Huh... - She still don't have a name."
07[10:17] * +Blastwave stares at Clipped_Cantle yawning. "You're aware you're not a ghoul right? You should sleep more." he smirks and heads upstairs
15[10:18] * +Kirengo frowns slightly as he gathers up the pieces and stands up. "I was mad... and no she doesn't..."
07[10:18] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles and nods, then heads upstairs beside Blastwave. "Yeah yeah. I'll sleep like a rock tonight, I'm sure."
[10:18] <+Clipped_Cantle> behind*
04[10:19] * +Blastwave snickers and walks over to where Kirengo and Fish are, "How dissapointed Moon will be." he smiles at Kiren, "I think we need the rest of our merry band."
[10:20] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish tests the plank idly with a hoof, saying, "She ain' a suitable target fer yer anger - Got any ideas fer a name?"
07[10:21] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Blastwave and blushes slightly. "Dammit." She laughs. "Yeah, I'll go get Moon." She heads to the Captain's cabin and hops up on the bed, leaning down to gently nuzzle her marefriend.
07[10:21] * +Blastwave looks over at fish, "Is punching-bag not an option?"
06[10:22] * kashin ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[10:22] * ChanServ sets mode: +v kashin
06[10:22] * kashin is now known as Mercury
15[10:22] * +Kirengo shrugs slightly. "I dunno... if she isn't a suitable target for anger... uh... Serenity?" He looks over at Blastwave. "Where are Mercury and Jot?
15[10:22] <+Kirengo> "
07[10:22] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer murmers something at Clipped_Cantle's touch and slowly opens her eyes and yawns. She smiles at Clipped_Cantle and slowly nuzzles her back "Good morning Clipped."
07[10:23] * +Blastwave "Mercurary was still staring thoughtfully into the waves when i saw her last..." he blinks. "Jot is pretending to be a chair or something."
07[10:23] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles and kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer's nose. "It's afternoon, but... yeah, good morning. Sleep well?"
04[10:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish frowns at Blastwave and then nods at Kirengo, grinning a little, "That's fittin'," before stepping onto the plank and heading onto the road to wait for the others.
07[10:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods a little bit then yawns "Yes...we are still a bit tired however...but that is not a problem." she kisses Clipped_Cantle on the forehead then slowly gets out of bed
15[10:25] * +Kirengo snerks at Blastwave. "Just make sure I don't sit on her." He turns and heads up the boat and drops down through the cargo hold to gather up all his gear.
07[10:25] * +Blastwave has been promoted to chair verification duty
07[10:26] * +Mercury steps out of the bath room. A mare had needs.
15[10:27] * +Kirengo thinks it's an important promotion. He flies back up to the deck after gathering up and carrying all his gear. "So... ready for a parade?"
07[10:28] * +Blastwave laughs at silly mortal problems as he walks across the plank to Bucklyn, "They're be more concerned with the sky than us. We might have to call a rain check on that parade."
04[10:28] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns. "Yeah, me too. Tired as hell." Another yawn cracks her jaw and she chuckles. "Well, we're at Bucklyn. Hopefully we can get some sleep tonight, but first we need to talk to Rock or Split or whoever." She nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then heads back to Fish, Blastwave, and Kirengo.
07[10:29] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle back "Of course." then follows her out of the room
15[10:30] * +Kirengo calls over to Blastwave as he heads back belowdecks, "We saved their lives, the sky can wait!" He looks around the passenger area, then peeks his head into the engine room to look for Mercury.
04[10:31] * +Mercury steps out of the engine room, almost bumping into Kirengo. “Oh!” She takes a few steps back. “…sorry.”
[10:31] <~Zeph|GM> 3Out of the front of the base, two figures come and make for the moored boat: A banana yellow stallion in an officer's uniform and a Power Armored Ranger, both of whom Fish salutes as she spots them.
07[10:32] * +Blastwave is the only other pony standing there so also salutes
15[10:32] * +Kirengo blinks at Mercury. "Uh, okay. We're here and going to go talk to Rock or Split."
07[10:33] * +Mercury nods. “Okay. You are getting your promotions right? Big day.”
07[10:34] * +Clipped_Cantle nods to the two Rangers and sits on the deck, yawning.
07[10:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer waves to the two rangers with a wing, then sees Fish salute, so she salutes with a wing as well because she feels the need to.
15[10:35] * +Kirengo "I uh... we aren't even -actually- Rangers. Not sure how we can get promotions."
07[10:37] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and looks between the saluting ponies and blinks, quickly doing a clumsy one of her own. She wasn't even sure she should... but heck, can't get in trouble for showing too much respect, right?
[10:37] <~Zeph|GM> 3The two ponies split up as the armored pony remains at the bottom of the ramp and Split steps onto the boat, saluting back, turning to Fish, Clipped, Moon and Blastwave in turn before smiling, "We found it to be appropriate that I welcome you back personally - welcome back."
07[10:37] * +Mercury "Ah, right. My mistake. Well, there is bound to be a party anyway." She forces a smile. "You could all do with some R and R."
07[10:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer yawns "It is good to be back."
07[10:39] * +Blastwave nods his agreement, "Why thank you. Did you know the Enclave are idiots and park their artillery on top of Bloodwing hoards, well, funny story."
15[10:39] * +Kirengo nods, not quite returning the smile, forced or not. "Yeah, we could. Anyway..." he makes a small motion to follow then turns around and heads back up to the rest of the group.
07[10:40] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns and nods to Split. "Thanks, Paladin. Good to be back... heck of a day..."
07[10:40] * +Mercury adjusts her armor, puts on her helmet and follows.
04[10:41] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split chuckles a little and nods to each of them again, including Kirengo this time, saying, "We can do the formal debriefing later, but for now, I'd say you've deserved some rest, wouldn't you say?"
07[10:42] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer yawns again "Yes...rest is nice..."
15[10:42] * +Kirengo says as he walks up to the group, "Kill an entire nest of bloodwings and destroy an Enclave tank at the same time? Yeah, you got that right, we need rest."
07[10:43] * +Blastwave is pretty sure the 'rest' part was subtle mockery. "Yeah, I would need rest too. If I got tired."
07[10:44] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles at Split. "Yeah, some sleep would be great. Didn't sleep at all last night..." She yawns again. "...and only got a short nap on the trip back..."
15[10:45] * +Kirengo pokes Blastwave's armor. "We'll see about that, squishy."
07[10:46] * +Blastwave blinks and blushes. "Wait... what?"
15[10:46] * +Kirengo "What what?:"
07[10:47] * +Blastwave In the butt "Nevermind." he looked at split, "So, this rest... thing."
07[10:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer drapes a wing over Clipped_Cantle then reaches down and nuzzles her
07[10:48] * +Mercury looks over, seeing Blastwave in Moth or Ball's armor, lifting an eyebrow under her helmet, then looking back to the Rangers.
07[10:49] * +Blastwave is not wearing moth or Balls armour, he is wearing his own enclave recon armour...
[10:49] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split nods, asking Blastwave, "Yes, rest," and heads back down the ramp to the other Ranger, being saluted by her and Fish, before they both follow him to the base.
[10:50] <~Zeph|GM> 3saying to*
07[10:51] * +Clipped_Cantle leans into Moonlight`s_Shimmer, nuzzling her back, then moves to follow Split into the base.
07[10:51] * +Blastwave follows after and assumes this is the best parade they're going to get
07[10:51] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Split, staying beside Clipped_Cantle
15[10:51] * +Kirengo "Right then." He follows as well. He'd talk to Split or whoever is available later about the dead.
07[10:52] * +Mercury follows the group, sticking to the rear.
15[10:52] * +Kirengo would like his rear stuck.
04[10:53] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split leads the group into the foyer and then motions to Kirengo, Blastwave, Clipped_Cantle and Moonlight`s_Shimmer to follow him to the briefing roomy saying, "Just - ...one more thing, if you please and I can let you go unwind."
07[10:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer yawns then nods "Of course Split."
07[10:55] * +Blastwave "Is it a dragon?"
15[10:55] * +Kirengo follows Split. "Yeah... what's up now?"
07[10:55] * +Clipped_Cantle follows Split into the briefing room, yawning. "What do you need, Paladin?"
07[10:56] * +Mercury stops on the foyer and sits down.
[10:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish heads to the workshop, saying temporary goodbyes to the group as Split leads them into the briefing room, before going to a filing cabinet and searching it, saying, "In light of your achievements and extraordinary performance in aiding us, we've decided to ...present you with a unique opportunity."
07[11:00] * +Blastwave "To fight a dragon?"
07[11:00] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer headtilts "What kind of opportunity...?"
07[11:01] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns and leans against Moonlight`s_Shimmer, resting her head against the alicorn's leg. "What's that, Paladin?" She blinks and looks at Blastwave, then chuckles.
07[11:01] * +Blastwave just assumes they have to fight a dragon, it seems like events are progressing that way
15[11:02] * +Kirengo thinks Clipped is using 'Paladin' a whole lot. He glances at Blastwave. "Explosions don't wo-" he blinks, "Any explosions other than really really really big ones don't work against dragons." He looks back at Split. "More unique than what we've already been doing?"
07[11:03] * +Mercury waves to Fish as she goes and wraps herself in her cloak.
04[11:05] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split pulls out two sheets of printed paper and chuckles at Kirengo's words as he trots back to the group, placing them on the table in front of them, "The opportunity to become full members of Applejack's Rangers - we feel that you deserve at least that, from what we can reasonably give."

06[11:09] * RainbowYoshi is now known as Kirengo
15[11:10] * Kirengo blinks, rather impressed. "Wow..." He points at the papers. "And those are?"
07[11:10] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and straightens up, her ears perking toward Split.
[11:10] #Space_RP Cannot send to channel (+m)

15[11:12] * +Kirengo blinks, rather impressed. "Wow..." He points at the papers. "And those are?"
07[11:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks..."We would be...honored."
[11:16] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split nods and says, "They contain the oath you'll say, should you decide to accept the offer." He slides the two sheets to each Blastwave and Clipped, saying, "You don't have to decide before you know what you're getting yourself into, so please, take your time - we have that at right now."
[11:16] <~Zeph|GM> 3You choose to support and defend the the six Elemental Virtues of Equestria - Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter and Magic - against all their enemies and corruptions.
[11:16] <~Zeph|GM> 3You choose to bear true faith and allegiance to the same and you choose obey the orders of the officers appointed over you, so long as they themselves stay true to these vows. This you vow and will call yourself an Applejack's Ranger until either death or an Elder releases you.
07[11:17] * +Blastwave waits for a bit, "Is... is that it?"
15[11:19] * +Kirengo looks over the vows by peeking on Blastwave's sheet. "I'd say yes, that's it."
07[11:20] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks over the vows...then looks at Clipped_Cantle
07[11:20] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and nods. "I don't think I really need to think about it."
07[11:21] * +Blastwave "In that case, I'll accept."
07[11:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "We do not either." she looks at Split and nods "We would like to take you up on your offer to become applejack rangers."
[11:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split nods and says, "I'll arrange for Rock and myself to officially take your vows tomorrow. Is there anything else you need, or want to know until then?"
15[11:23] * +Kirengo looks between the other three. Did they ever ask questions about anything? "So... this is full Ranger stuff... pay... room to live or sleep... in exchange from taking orders from... well we're the newest here, so everyone?"
07[11:24] * +Blastwave just would really like a command structure back and 'living' and 'sleeping' hardly mattered to him
07[11:25] * +Clipped_Cantle assumed they would get something like that, since the other Rangers obviously live in the base and stuff.
15[11:25] * +Kirengo has lived in the wasteland too long...
[11:26] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split chuckles, "In light of what you've already done, you'll be taking orders from Rock or myself unless we assign you. Yes, food, lodging, access to more than the surplus armory with a spending capital there, as well as some spending pay of your very own."
07[11:27] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and yawns, leaning into Moonlight`s_Shimmer again. "Sounds great." She blinks, then grins "Does that mean we can get our own set of that fancy power armor, too?"
15[11:28] * +Kirengo thinks about it for a few moments then nods at Split. "Alright. Can do that."
07[11:29] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "We do not think they make power armor in our size."
07[11:29] * +Blastwave really wants power armour it was so useful. He didn't get hit once. It was like a bloodwing repelent
15[11:31] * +Kirengo thinks the repellant was more Blast's deadness and lack of blood.
07[11:31] * +Blastwave wants to keep his delusions thank you very much
15[11:31] * +Kirengo is somewhat okay with this
[11:33] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split nods, saying to Clipped_Cantle, "We actually have an old suit in your size available. Part of your training will be manual maintenance of it."
07[11:34] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and claps her forehooves together, grinning. "That's great! Love to learn to work on something like that! Especially with the integrated saddle. Love that stuff."
07[11:37] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles, happy that her marefriend is happy
15[11:37] * +Kirengo clears his throat. "So we have two Enclave power armors as well... uh... two of Torch's group died in the fight. They... need a burial and everything... but yeah... two more power armors for something with wings..."
07[11:38] * +Blastwave "The two who died are heroes, by the way. We would be dead if it weren't for them."
07[11:39] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and nods. "Yeah... they saved our asses. Big time."
07[11:39] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hangs her head
07[11:40] * +Clipped_Cantle leans into Moonlight`s_Shimmer and presses her cheek into the alicorn's.
04[11:41] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split nods to Clipped_Cantle, saying, "You and Ratchet both - he's already got it in the workshop." He then nods gravely at Kirengo's words, saying, "We'll arrange something for them and - where is Torch?"
15[11:41] * +Kirengo "Flew off to check on her home."
07[11:42] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer runs a wing through Clipped_Cantle's mane and snuggles
07[11:42] * +Blastwave "It kind of blew up."
[11:43] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split nods and salutes the group off, saying, "Thank you."
07[11:43] * +Blastwave apparently is leaving, alright then.
15[11:44] * +Kirengo blinks. "Right then..." He starts to leave then pauses and gives a very awkward salute back, -then- leaves and walks back out to Mercury.
07[11:44] * +Blastwave "So... was that like, the offical.. officalry?"
15[11:44] * +Kirengo "That's tomorrow."
07[11:45] * +Blastwave nods, "Right. Must have missed that part. Does that mean we get the day off?"
07[11:45] * +Mercury looks up to the four. "Hey... how many medals did you each get?"
04[11:45] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer's cheek before straightening up and blinking at Split. She gives the paladin another clumsy salute. "Er... you're welcome. Thank you." She turns and heads out of the briefing room, moving over to Mercury, Kirengo, and Blastwave.
15[11:45] * +Kirengo "Uh, yes." He looks at Mercury. "None. We did get promoted, though, so you called that one."
07[11:47] * +Blastwave "If by promoted you mean you got a job."
07[11:50] * +Mercury gives a quick clap of her hooves. "Does that mean you get some of that spiffy walking tank armor?"
07[11:51] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer salutes and follows besides Clipped_Cantle
07[11:51] * +Blastwave "It means Clipped gets some..."
15[11:51] * +Kirengo waves a hoof in Clipped's direction. "She does. I'm hoping to get Moth or Ball's."
07[11:51] * +Blastwave snickers at the word balls
15[11:52] * +Kirengo gives Blastwave a look.
07[11:52] * +Blastwave seriouses up. "Yes, that. Once we can respectfully bury their remains."
07[11:53] * +Mercury gives a quick sigh and then looks up to Blastwave. "Thank you... Do the Rangers have something nice for their ashes? Or are we stuck with a Sparkle Cola bottle?"
15[11:54] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes and starts to walk off back towards the boat.
07[11:55] * +Blastwave blinks, "Uh, I would think so..."
04[11:55] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns at Mercury and shrugs. "We didn't ask. Split just told us they'd arrange something." She shakes her head and follows Kirengo, intent on getting some sleep.
07[11:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle, having the same intent
07[11:56] * +Mercury gets up, not quite sure what to do.
15[11:58] * +Kirengo looks over at Clipped as he gets onto the boat. "Hey, Clipped, can I talk to you real quick?"
04[11:58] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns and nods at Kirengo. "Sure, Kiren. What's up?"
04[11:58] * +Blastwave blinks at Kirengo, "Uh, okay, I'll just go over there." he looks at Mercury, "How're you feeling?
15[11:59] * +Kirengo is on a boat and nowhere near Blastwave? Anyway... He motions for Clipped to follow him belowdecks, away from Moon.
07[11:59] * +Blastwave was totally following
04[12:00] * +Clipped_Cantle raises an eyebrow at Kirengo, then nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Be right back, Moon." She follows Kirengo down belowdecks.
15[12:01] * +Kirengo makes sure they're alone then looks back at Clipped and clears his throat. "You work with uh... machines and stuff, and engines a lot, right?"
07[12:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and sits on the deck by herself
04[12:01] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at Kirengo. "Sorta. Do more work on battle saddles, but yeah."
07[12:02] * +Mercury gets up and nods to Blastwave. "...better. You?"
15[12:02] * +Kirengo nods and bites his lip, glancing back up at the stairs. "You uh... gotta make sure stuff runs smooth in those things... and battle saddles, right?"
[12:03] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Uh... yeah..."
07[12:04] * +Blastwave "Well other than being all... dead, fine." he takes a seat on the deck. "Hopefully once we offically join the Applejack Rangers I can get some info on whats going on up there."
15[12:05] * +Kirengo "Like uh... grease... or... lube."
07[12:05] * +Blastwave gets this sudden feeling of impending mockery
04[12:06] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns and narrows her eyes a little at Kirengo. "Yeah. Oil, grease, whatever. There's all kinds of different lubricants. Why? You need some?"
15[12:06] * +Kirengo unfurls one wing and scratches at the back of his neck with the claw. "Yeah."
07[12:06] * +Mercury sits next to him. "Yeah... I hope Torch comes back safe. Still being a wanted fugitive and all."
07[12:07] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer yawns then flutters her wings and looks out over the water
07[12:07] * +Blastwave "I'm hoping everything will be chaotic enough she can slip by..."
04[12:08] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Kirengo. "Probably something in the engine room. Fish probably needs it for the motor." She pauses. "Huh, well, that might not work. Depends what you need it for."
15[12:09] * +Kirengo coughs again. "Well uh... I mean, you're a medic too, right? So I figure... you'd know what'd be uh... healthy."
07[12:10] * +Mercury "Yeah... So, you're a Ranger now, huh? What does that involve?"
07[12:10] * +Blastwave "Far as i can tell what we've been doing, only with the added beifit of getting paid."
07[12:10] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head even further. "Yeah, I'm a medic. You know that, why the buck are you acting so we-" She stops. "Healthy... you... want..." She grins and chuckles. "/That/ kind of lube, huh? Alright, yeah. I'll see what I can make for you."
15[12:11] * +Kirengo begins to blush very hard at the realization that Clipped just picked up on what he had wanted. "Y-yeah... th-that that kinda of lube..."
07[12:11] * +Mercury blinks, a little surprised that they were not being paid already. "Ah. Got ya."
07[12:12] * +Blastwave was doing it out of the goodness of his heart. He still had a heart right. "Also we get some ammo and weaponry, and a command structure..."
04[12:13] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks at Kirengo. "I'll see what the quartermaster's got later. Might not smell the best, depending on what they've got for me to make it out of, but..." She grins at the zebra buck. "Should make things nice and smooth."
07[12:13] * +Mercury nods. "It is nice to have some order."
07[12:14] * +Blastwave points out, "You'd probably be allowed to joint oo, you did help us in the last two missions."
15[12:15] * +Kirengo "He's... a ghoul, not really worried about smell..." He cringes at the last part. "Right... I'm... I'mma... gonna..." He just turns around and goes to pick up Moth and Ball.
07[12:15] * +Blastwave smells like bacon and what is this
04[12:16] * +Clipped_Cantle bursts out laughing and waves to Kirengo. "Alright, I'm... I'm gonna get some sleep. Not going to make it when I'm tired. I screw shit up when I'm tired."
15[12:17] * +Kirengo "Uh-huh." He strips the power armor off Moth and Ball and hauls them to wherever the clinic dead go to in Bucklyn.
15[12:17] * +Kirengo doesn't do that.
07[12:17] * +Mercury "I..." She shakes her head. "Thank you, but no thank you. That is not a step I am willing to take. Still a Enclave girl at heart, you know?"
15[12:18] * +Kirengo picks up the armor and carries to to where the dead go in Bucklyn, because they needed urns.
07[12:18] * +Clipped_Cantle head up to the deck and over to Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
07[12:19] * +Blastwave shrugs, "Nice sentiment, but meaningless. It's better to have a job and a purpose than to have neither."
07[12:19] * +Clipped_Cantle is still chuckling.
15[12:19] * +Kirengo 's face is still red as he walks through Bucklyn.
07[12:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer headtilts at Clipped_Cantle "What is so funny?"
04[12:20] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and nuzzles the mare. "Kirengo asked for a favor... an embarrassing one, and for once I came out on top of the blushing contest."
04[12:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle back "What did Kirengo want...?"
07[12:21] * +Blastwave looks over to Clipped_Cantle and Moonlight`s_Shimmer and sort of edges over trying to listen in
07[12:21] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks. "Lube.
[12:21] <+Clipped_Cantle> "
07[12:22] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "Lube...? He wanted...lube? What kind of lube?"
15[12:22] * +Kirengo does the thing with the Rangers and the ashes and gets two new suits of Enclave power armor, yay!
07[12:23] * +Blastwave suddenly turns bright red as he listens in. he knew exactly what type of lube he meant
07[12:23] * +Mercury lifts an eyebrow at Clipped_Cantle's statement... She fails to supress a chuckle.
07[12:23] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "For sex, Moon. Two stallions and all."
07[12:23] * +Clipped_Cantle is unaware the others are listening in.
07[12:24] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and blushes a bit "Oh...we did not realize..." she chuckles
07[12:25] * +Mercury piles up to explain to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Secret butt fun."
04[12:25] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo deposits Moth and Ball's ashes with the medical pegasi, who carefully remove the armors and put the ashes and their tags into two lockboxes with the corresponding names on them, containing a few personal affects.
07[12:25] * +Blastwave hears Mercury. Abandom ship! Abandom ship! He jumps off the boat blushing bright red
07[12:26] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks at Mercury "Yes, we understand." she blinks again when Blastwave jumps off the boat
07[12:26] * +Mercury looks after Blastwave. "Oh Celestia!" Most pegasi probably couldn't swim.
07[12:27] * +Blastwave can't really drown...
15[12:27] * +Kirengo walks back out towards the boat, his blush finally leaving his face as he hauls the power armor back.
07[12:27] * +Clipped_Cantle laughs and nods in agreement with Mercury. "Yeah, exactly." She blinks and looks over at Blastwave, then bursts out laughing again.
07[12:27] * +Blastwave actually stops right above the water, he was just being dramatic
07[12:28] * +Mercury blinks a few times, then remembers that Blastwave can't drown anyway. She shifts to giggles.
07[12:28] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head and chuckles
15[12:29] * +Kirengo walks back up to the boat and blinks. "What are you doing down there, Blast?"
04[12:31] * +Blastwave turns to Kirengo, "Clipped's iron jaw apparently means she is incapable of shutting up."
15[12:36] * +Kirengo stops on the middle of the gangplank. "Uh, what?"
07[12:36] * +Blastwave surafaces above the deck and points at the giggling mares
15[12:36] * +Kirengo blankfaces and looks at Clipped_Cantle. "You didn't..."
04[12:40] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Kirengo and shrugs. "Well, I told Moon. The others eavesdropped, I guess."
07[12:42] * +Mercury takes off her helmet and pushes up her glasses, still giggling.
15[12:42] * +Kirengo just kinda mouths non-words at Clipped, eventually just dumping the armor on the deck of the boat before turning back around and walking off.
07[12:43] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer drapes a wing over Clipped_Cantle and just blinks
04[12:44] * +Blastwave blinks and follows Kirengo, "Kiren... are you okay?"
04[12:44] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Kirengo, then starts to follow him as well.
15[12:46] * +Kirengo is walking back towards the base, because it's evening and he doesn't want to get caught outside. "Yes Blast, I'm fine."
07[12:46] * +Blastwave flys along side, "Oh good. Because, I was going to say, we did sort of deserve that."
07[12:46] * +Mercury figures this is not a talk she should be a part of, so she takes the armor back down to the main room and sets it out with the broken set.
07[12:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows besides Clipped_Cantle
15[12:48] * +Kirengo "Uh-huh." He keeps walking. "You think you can teach me how to use that power armor?"
07[12:49] * +Blastwave rolls his eyes. "Should be able to, it's not all that too hard. Might need to fix the holes..." he adds. "Are you sure you want to wear it should? Would suck to get mistaken as enclave and get shot down."
15[12:50] * +Kirengo "Stick big Ranger insignias on the flanks and that shouldn't be an issue."
[12:50] <+Blastwave> -should
07[12:50] * +Blastwave "Or paint the hole thing orange."
[12:51] <+Blastwave> whole
15[12:52] * +Kirengo "And give up all hope of being able to sneak up on anyone."
07[12:53] * +Clipped_Cantle stops and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer, yawning. "Alright then... I think it's time for bed."
07[12:53] * +Blastwave "You're wearing giant armour with glowing eyes. What are you trying to sneak up on?"
07[12:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle back "Yes...sleep would be nice. Let us head to bed then."
15[12:54] * +Kirengo "Someone without giant armor and glowing eyes. And really, giant armor with glowing eyes will be pretty freaking scary when it launches at you from out of the shadows." He walks into the base and heads for the room they stayed at the very first time here.
07[12:54] * +Mercury gets the armor all set up and nice, but ponders... something was missing...
07[12:54] * +Blastwave looks around, "I guess..." he pauses. "I'll go get Merc, wouldn't want her lurking around after dark, Bloodwings seem to adore her."
07[12:54] * +Clipped_Cantle turns around and heads back to the boat. "I'm going to grab something to eat first, though. You hungry, Moon?"
07[12:55] * +Blastwave thought we were going into the abse for food and sleep but is now confused
[12:55] <+Blastwave> base*
07[12:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and nods "Yes...we often forget that we have to consume food to survive now." she follows Clipped_Cantle
15[12:56] * +Kirengo snorts and swallows his thoughts on that subject. "Right. Yeah. See ya at the cafeteria."
04[12:56] * +Blastwave kisses Kirengo's cheek (D'aww) and flys off towards the boat
07[12:57] * +Mercury flips her bladed tail around and get a hold of each suit's collar.
15[12:58] * +Kirengo smiles a bit as he watches Blast fly off. Eh... he could be mad at Clipped for letting secrets go in front of Mercury later. He walks to the cafeteria.
07[12:58] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and yawns, stopping once again. "Huh, wait. Can probably get food in the base. Save the stuff on the boat for when we're out and about." She yawns and leans against Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Damn I'm tired."
07[12:58] * +Blastwave figures Mercury would figure out anyway. Speaking of he dive into the ship, "Hey Merc."
07[12:59] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle, then starts to head for the cafeteria in the base for foodz
07[12:59] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and follows.
15[13:00] * +Kirengo wouldn't have cared in Mercury had just figured it out on her own. He gathers his food and drink and sits at an empty table.
04[13:00] * +Blastwave is not going to have a passive agressive meta-argument with Kiren!
15[13:00] * +Kirengo thinks he totally should.
04[13:01] * +Clipped_Cantle gets her own food and sits at the table with Kirengo, yawning as she digs in.
07[13:02] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sits down with Clipped_Cantle and levitates over some food for herself and begins to eat
04[13:03] * +Mercury looks up, just about to scratch Moth's name into one of the collars. "Oh, hi. Hope Kirengo wasn't too miffed."
15[13:03] * +Kirengo glances up at Clipped_Cantle as he eats. "Did you really have to tell her?"
07[13:03] * +Blastwave shrugs, "He'll kick something and get over it. Just thinking it would not be best to stay here tonight by yourself. Bloodwings and... well you know enough about them."
04[13:04] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and looks over at Kirengo. "Yeah, I'm not keeping secrets from my marefriend. Especially when you didn't even ask me to."
07[13:05] * +Mercury nods. "Yeah... Just leaving the boat empty?" She stands up.
07[13:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "We are sorry..."
07[13:06] * +Blastwave "Its tied up to the dock, and everyone knows us."
07[13:06] * +Mercury smirks. "Well, I suppose we could trust our little, hidden snoop to guard it."
07[13:06] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "You didn't do anything, Moon. You don't need to apologize."
15[13:06] * +Kirengo blinks. "Wait, Moon? I expected you to tell Moon. I meant Mercury."
07[13:07] * +Blastwave "Or the army of steel rangers on the base it's attached to."
07[13:07] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "Okay..."
04[13:07] * +Clipped_Cantle raises an eyebrow at Kirengo. "I didn't /tell/ Mercury anything. She listened in when I was talking to Moon. So did Blast."
[13:08] <+Clipped_Cantle> "I didn't even realize they were there."
07[13:08] * +Mercury starts gathering up the power armor. "Righto. Rooms in the base I take it?"
04[13:08] * +Blastwave was curious! Kiren taking a mare down somewhere for a secret conversation, he had to know. "Yup." He helps with the PA.
15[13:08] * +Kirengo "Oh..." He goes back to eating.
07[13:09] * +Mercury "may want to gather anything special to you as well. Best not to encourage sticky hooves, you know."
07[13:10] * +Blastwave really wants to say 'the only thing special to me is waiting at the caferteria' but it's much too cheesy. "I own a little less than nothing."
07[13:10] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. "Guess I should've paid more attention, though. So... sorry anyway. I mean, you could've been planning to surprise Blast."
07[13:11] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle
07[13:11] * +Mercury "Fair enough."
07[13:12] * +Blastwave starts walking towards the base, "Happens when you blow up."
15[13:13] * +Kirengo shakes his head. "I wasn't... not really. I just didn't want Mercury to know." He shrugs. "Oh well... it's fine."
07[13:14] * +Mercury follows Blastwave.
07[13:15] * +Blastwave enters the caferteria, "We can't take too, too long eating if we want to see the sunset." he says to everybody because it just seemed obvious this was happening
04[13:15] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back, then says to Kirengo. "Yeah, I can see that... sorry. Like I said, I screw shit up when I'm tired." She goes back to eating her food.
[13:16] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish comes out of the base and heads towards the boat, wearing a pair of paint-stained saddlebags.
07[13:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kisses Clipped_Cantle's cheek then goes back to eating
07[13:17] * +Mercury waves to Fish as they pass. "You sleeping on the boat?"
07[13:17] * +Clipped_Cantle looks over at Blastwave and swallows. "Huh? Sunset?"
15[13:17] * +Kirengo "Ye-" he looks up at Blastwave as he enters the cafeteria. "How long until that, anyway?"
04[13:18] * +Blastwave waves his wing in a circle which apparently helps explaining. "Its when the sun... sts, it's pretty." he looks at Kirengo. "It's in about [time here]"
07[13:18] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at Blastwave, then looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "You want to see it?"
[13:18] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish stops and turns to Mercury, saying, "Yeah an' Ah'm plannin' on paintin' Serenity's name on 'er and watch the sunset."
15[13:18] * +Kirengo blinks. "Oh... well then we should go get ready..." He stands and picks up his mostly eaten tray of food.
07[13:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hmms then wing shrugs "We do not care...if you want to see it then we will watch it with you Clipped."
07[13:20] * +Mercury nods. "Okay then. Alias is still on her I think. Just an FYI."
04[13:20] * +Blastwave stares blankly at Clipped_Cantle and Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "First Sunset in twohundred years, you're watching. No exceptions." he smirks at Kirengo
07[13:20] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "Okay...we are sure it will be quite a sight."
07[13:21] * +Clipped_Cantle laughs at Blastwave, then nods and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Guess that settles it, huh?"
15[13:21] * +Kirengo smiles back at Blastwave, keeping the tray in his mouth, and heading for the outside.
07[13:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle and smiles "We guess so." she chuckles
07[13:22] * +Blastwave walks back outside, "Silly wastelanders."
07[13:22] * +Clipped_Cantle disposes of the remains of her meal, then heads outside to watch the suuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.
07[13:23] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle once she's done eating to also watch the suuuuuuuun
07[13:23] * +Blastwave something something suuuuun
[13:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish nods and trots onto the boat depositing her bags there, before climbing up onto the roof of the wheelhouse to watch the celestial display.
[13:24] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~DAY 11~~~~~
04[13:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo, Clipped, Blastwave and Moonlight's Shimmer gather in the Archives with Star Paladins Banana Split and Rock Solid, with Mercury, Fish Stick and a few other members of Bucklyn base attending.
[13:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split motions for Clipped_Cantle to step forward and lay down her vows first and to the bust of Applejack behind him.
15[13:24] * +Kirengo totally made Blast share the rest of his meal as they watched the sunset that night.
07[13:26] * +Mercury is in her officer’s uniform, as it is more formal and nicer than the FUBARed power armor. She did not watch the sunset.
15[13:27] * +Kirengo is nekkid, because he doesn't have anything nice to wear and his armor is covered in blood.
07[13:27] * +Blastwave is Blastwave
07[13:29] * +Clipped_Cantle is not wearing anything either as she steps forward to the bust of Applejack. "I, Clipped Cantle, choose to support and defend the six Elemental Virtues of Equestria: Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter, and Magic against all enemies and corruptions. I choose to bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and I choose to obey the orders of the officers appointed over me so long...
07[13:29] * +Clipped_Cantle ...as they themselves stay true to these vows. This I vow and I will call myself and Applejack's Ranger until either death or an Elder releases me."
[13:33] <+Clipped_Cantle> an*
04[13:34] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split salutes Clipped_Cantle, waiting for her to do the same and then step back as he gestures for Kirengo to step forward. Clipped and the others have totally been informed beforehoof how this will transpire.
15[13:34] * +Kirengo steps forward. "I, Kirengo, choose to support and defend the six Elemental Virtues of Equestria - Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter, Magic - against all their enemies and corruptions. I choose to bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and I choose to obey the orders of the officers appointed over me, so long as they themselves stay true to these vows. This I vow and will call myself and Applejack's Ranger until either death or an Elder releases me."
07[13:35] * +Clipped_Cantle salutes Split, then goes wherever she's supposed to go and stuff.
04[13:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split salutes Kirengo as well and gestures for Blastwave to step forward.
15[13:36] * +Kirengo salutes then steps back to do his thing.
07[13:36] * +Blastwave takes a step forward, "I, Secon-... I mean Blastwave, choose to support and defend the six Elemental Virtues of Equestria - Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, Kindness, Laughter, Magic - against all their enemies and corruptions. I choose to bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and I choose to obey the orders of the officers appointed over me, so long as they themselves stay true
07[13:36] * +Blastwave to these vows. This I vow and will call myself and Applejack's Ranger until either death or an Elder releases me.""
[13:37] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split salutes Blastwave and gestures for the final person to step forward: Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
07[13:37] * +Blastwave hasitly salutes and steps back
[13:37] <+Blastwave> hastily
07[13:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is nekkid and steps forward "We, Moonlight`s_Shimmer, choose to support and defend the six elemental virtues of Equestria- honesty, loyalty, generosity, kindness, laughter and magic - against all their enemies and corruptions. We choose to bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and we choose to obey the orders of the officers appointed over us, so long as they themselves stay
07[13:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer true to these vows. This, we vow and we will call ourselves an Applejack's Ranger until either death or an Elder releases us."
[13:42] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split salutes Moonlight`s_Shimmer and then salutes the new Rangers as a group, saying, "By the power invested in my by my rank and station, I bestow the rank of 'Knight of Applejack's Rangers' on each of you. At ease."
07[13:42] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer salutes then unsalutes and stuff
07[13:43] * +Clipped_Cantle at eases's because her player has no idea how to describe that with a pony.
07[13:43] * +Blastwave is easy
15[13:44] * +Kirengo would dispute that. He at easinessesesssss after saluting back to Split.
04[13:45] * +Blastwave doesn't think Kiren uses enough s's.
[13:57] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~DAY 15~~~~~
[13:57] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~Early morning - the lounge at breakfast~~~~~~
[13:57] <~Zeph|GM> 3As the group is having breakfast, a Scribe trots up to the table, asking the group, saying, "Split would like to see you in the briefing room."
07[13:58] * +Blastwave is watching breakfast, not eating. he thinks it is impolite to eat when he doesn't need to
15[13:59] * +Kirengo looks up at the scribe. "Right now or after breakfast?"
07[14:01] * +Clipped_Cantle swallows and awaits the scribe's answer.
07[14:02] * +Mercury looks over to the Scibe and then to Clipped_Cantle.
07[14:02] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and waits
[14:02] <~Zeph|GM> 3Scribe #XYZ, "He said you'd be interested in this piece of ...information, but it wasn't an order."
15[14:03] * +Kirengo "Alright..." He speeds up his eating then stands up when he's finished.
07[14:04] * +Blastwave also stands up! For great justice
07[14:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hurries up and eats, then gets up
07[14:07] * +Clipped_Cantle finishes eating and nods. "Alright." She gets up.
15[14:08] * +Kirengo proceeds to follow the Scribe to Split.
15[14:08] * +Kirengo or goes to Split if the scribe left or whatever.
07[14:08] * +Blastwave does the thing
07[14:08] * +Clipped_Cantle does that too.
07[14:09] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows
07[14:13] * +Mercury lets the Rangers go off to do Ranger things.
[14:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Scribe leads them to the briefing room, where Split has a printout placed on the table for the group to see as they enter. He looks to the group as they enter, saying, "That's a mission document from the databases in the tower, detailing a strike on the old Ironshod arms factory about a week ago..."
04[14:14] * +Blastwave can't remember if he knows where Kirengo's home is
07[14:14] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "And...?"
15[14:15] * +Kirengo never really told Blast where his home was. He looks over at the mission document. "And how did that go?"
07[14:15] * +Blastwave has no idea what that means then
07[14:16] * +Clipped_Cantle nods to Split. "A week ago? Are they still there? What's needed to be done?"
15[14:16] * +Kirengo blinks as he reads through the document. "Wait wait wait... they hit Shantyshod?"
[14:17] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split shakes his head, saying, "We don't know for sure and comms have been only now getting better, but as far as our intel goes there was a town near there, yes."
04[14:18] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Kirengo. "You know that place?"
15[14:18] * +Kirengo blinks. "Yes there was a town near there! Was built around the factory! Only like the fourth biggest settlement in Manehatten!" He shakes his head. "No, this has to be wrong. They had to have hit some other factory."
07[14:19] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks. Yeah, he knew it alright.
04[14:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer headtilts at Kirengo's sudden outburst then blinks "Oh...we understand..."
04[14:21] * +Blastwave moves closer to Kirengo trying to be supportive
[14:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3Split shakes his head and points out the exact location on the document, "Whatever the case, I'm tasking you with going to check the situation there first hoof and see what you can do to help. It was a while ago, but we have to confirm and do what we can regardless..."
04[14:26] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and salutes Split. "Yes, Star Paladin. Would've asked permission to do that even if you hadn't." She looks at Kirengo.
07[14:26] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks at Split and salutes "We will do what we can."
15[14:26] * +Kirengo looks legitimately scared. "Of-of course..." He swallows and looks around at the group. "We need to go."
04[14:27] * +Clipped_Cantle nods to Kirengo. "Yeah. Lead the way, Kiren. We're with you."
04[14:30] * +Blastwave looks very seriously at Kirengo, "Yeah. lets go." he takes a deep breath, "I'm sure it's fine. lets get merc and go."
04[14:32] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish has totally eventually was addressed by Kirengo about adding Serenity's name in Zebrican to the boat's side, in the style of a certain other ship of the same name. Fish is working on the the engine.
15[14:32] * +Kirengo nods and walks out. "Yeah... Probably fine... No way it couldn't be fine." He goes and grabs all his gear, puts on his fancy new power armor that's all painted up AJ-style, and waits by the front door of the base.
04[14:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Kirengo, staying next to Clipped_Cantle
07[14:33] * +Blastwave also has his armour painted AJ Ranger style and hopes Torch doesn't mind then he goes and grabs Merc, "Mercuary, we need to head to head out. You with? We might find Enclave survivors."
04[14:33] * +Clipped_Cantle is already wearing her fancy armor, along with her new hunting rifle, so she follows Kirengo at Moonlight`s_Shimmer's side.
15[14:35] * +Kirengo waits, his wing and hoof fidgeting making it very obvious how nervous he was even through all the power armor.
07[14:35] * +Mercury has finished her meal and is at a window, looking in the direction of Skyforge. "Sure." She turns around and looks at the armor... "That..." She sighs and just follows him.
07[14:36] * +Blastwave looks back, "What?"
04[14:37] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Kirengo. "I'm... I'll fly if you need me to."
07[14:37] * +Mercury "You should have waited for Torch to do that."
07[14:38] * +Blastwave sighs, "Five days, and we're at war Merc. If she wants it back she can get it back, but I'm sure she'll understand. It's a valuable resource and unfortuently in trying times nessecity is above sympathy"
04[14:39] * +Blastwave meets up with Scooby and the Gang. Then he goes to find Kiren and the gang
15[14:39] * +Kirengo swallows and shakes his head. "No big deal. An extra hour and a half of walking won't change what happened a week ago." Might make him go crazy with worry, but it won't change the past. "We're good." He sees the two pegasi come up to meet them and nods before turning to leave.
07[14:40] * +Mercury "I didn't mean wearing it or fixing it, but painting it is a bit much."
04[14:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Kirengo, a bit worried
07[14:41] * +Blastwave looks back, "it can wash off, but getting shot by freindly fire because we were trying to be nice ponies is not worth it."
07[14:41] * +Mercury "But I don't want to fight. It is done, and we will need to see how Torch takes it." She follows, not really knowing where they are going.
04[14:41] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and sighs. One thing she /didn't/ like about this armor was her inability to nuzzle... but safety first. Can't nuzzle when dead, either. Ghouls excepted, of course. She follows Kirengo, staying by Moon's side.
04[14:41] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo, "I... uh... lets go."
15[14:45] * +Kirengo nods. "Yeah..." He completely fails at managing to sound confident.
04[14:45] * +Blastwave takes off his helmet or unfolds it or magicks it off whatever... He nuzzles Kirengo, basically.
15[14:47] * +Kirengo already had his helmet off, so yay. He looks at Blastwave after the nuzzle. "Thanks..." He's able to force a smirk.
07[14:48] * +Mercury still has no clue what is going on, she just trots on after the two other mares.
04[14:48] * +Blastwave looks around and sees the chair following them, "We're all here, lets go." He smiles at Kirengo, and off they go
15[14:48] * +Kirengo goes.
07[14:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks down at Clipped_Cantle and smiles, running a wing across her cold steel helmet, staying by her side as they follow the bat zebra, she may not be able to see Clipped_Cantle through her armor, but she was beautiful nonetheless.
07[14:54] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, though the mare can't see it, and says buck it. She nuzzles Moon's leg anyway. Though that counts, right?
07[14:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle's neck back
[15:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3The group eventually arrives at their destination.
[15:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3The site of the town of Shantyshod resembles and was somewhat recently a battlefield. The old Ironshod factory is completely leveled to the ground and large stretches of houses are burnt out. Site has already been picked over by scavengers and treasure hunters, stripped and sometimes even having mutilated the dead pegasi,...
[15:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3...also having picked through the abandoned houses and wreckage of a burnt out skytank. Here and there there are the stripped bodies of town guards and inhabitants, their relatives not having had to opportunity recover most of them yet and prevent them from being looted.
[15:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3Ocasionally those of you that have their EFS on spot a non-hostile blip signifying one of these scavengers and the usual, scattered red blips of wasteland bugs and vermin.
07[15:03] * +Blastwave gulps at the wreckage
07[15:04] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head at the devastation. Why?
07[15:04] * +Blastwave has no idea why Clipped_Cantle is shaking her head
07[15:04] * +Mercury rushes over to look at the wrecked tanks and dead pegasi, mostly to keep them from being eaten by said bugs and vermin.
07[15:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's ears droop
15[15:05] * +Kirengo stops and stares at the devestation, simply in shock. After a minute he breaks into a gallop and heads for a house in the middle of the residential section on the far side of Shantyshod.
04[15:06] * +Blastwave gallops beside Kirengo saying nothing for the moment
04[15:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks, then gallops after Kirengo
04[15:06] * +Clipped_Cantle gallops after Kirengo.
[15:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3Many of the ponies indeed have been nibbled at over the past weeks and the bugs that have been at work within vision scuttle away into the cracks of houses and wreckages.
15[15:08] * +Kirengo comes to a skidding halt in front of his family's house. Well... at least it wasn't burnt down. He checks the door to see if it was still locked or if someone had managed to pick it and get in.
[15:09] <~Zeph|GM> 3The door to the house seems to have been forced open and the lock is bent and battered.
15[15:09] * +Kirengo curses and darts inside the house to look for any bodies.
07[15:09] * +Blastwave follows after and is careful not to disturb anything
07[15:10] * +Mercury starts gathering the Enclave dead by one of the tank wreckages. Somepony else would tend to the others, as they had clearly started doing so already.
04[15:10] * +Clipped_Cantle clunks into Kirengo's house behind the buck, looking around.
04[15:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer ducks into Kirengo's house behind Clipped_Cantle
04[15:11] <~Zeph|GM> 3No fighting seems to have taken place inside Kirengo's family house and there are no bodies, but it has been ransacked for valuables nonetheless.
[15:12] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Alright, so where is everyone?"
07[15:12] * +Blastwave gulps and says softly, "There's not enough bodies for it to be the whole town, they must have evacuated."
15[15:13] * +Kirengo comes back to the main room of the house and takes his helmet off. He looks devestated, but hopeful. "They're... they've got to be in Thirty-Two.
15[15:13] <+Kirengo> "
04[15:13] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at Kirengo. "Thirty-Two?"
07[15:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer headtilts
04[15:13] * +Blastwave also takes his Helmet off, "Kiren... are you okay?" That was a dumb question
15[15:14] * +Kirengo "No, I'm not." He uses his hoof to point in a direction. "Stable Thirty-Two, twenty minutes that way and where we're going."
07[15:15] * +Blastwave lowers his head, "I'm sorry." he turns and puts his helmet back on and leaves, "Merc, if there are no survivors we need to go check on the evacuees."
07[15:17] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Yeah, let's go. We'll... we'll find your family there. I'm sure."
07[15:17] * +Mercury looks up from her grim work, with any tags she may have found, letting her armor omnomnom on some of the scrap that no doubt littered the area. "Oh, right."
04[15:18] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and heads out of the house "We will find them Kirengo..." one way or another...
15[15:19] * +Kirengo "Yeah..." He follows Blastwave out after putting his helmet back on, then turns and heads for 32, looking at the dead as he passed them to see if he knew any of them as he quickly trotted through Shantyshod.
04[15:21] * +Blastwave nods at Mercury and goes back beside Kirengo
04[15:21] * +Clipped_Cantle follows after Kirengo.
04[15:22] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Kirengo too
07[15:22] * +Mercury follows up behind Blastwave, holding up a tag in her wing. "I went through basic with this guy..."
07[15:24] * +Clipped_Cantle snorts and keeps trotting.
07[15:24] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer trots next to Clipped_Cantle
05[15:25] -ChanServ:#Space_RP- Zeph|GM (Mirage) added DancingOnTheAshes to the VOP list.
06[15:25] * Primer ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[15:25] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Primer
04[15:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo spots a something out of the ordinary by the skytank Mercury is at. Something small and covered in dirt, but it provokes a feeling of familiarity.
15[15:30] * +Kirengo detours from his path towards 32 slightly to go pick up this vaguely familiar thing. "Hang on just a sec."
07[15:31] * +Clipped_Cantle stops and looks over at the tank, then scans the area with her EFS.
04[15:31] * +Blastwave nods and follows after Kirengo but keeps a respectable distance
04[15:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stops next to Clipped_Cantle, waiting for Kirengo
04[15:33] <~Zeph|GM> 3The object in question is a set of straps as part of a set of hoof-weapons, which Kirengo has seen many times before and can recognize easily at a closer glance. The actual weapon part of his father's gauntlet is missing, but with a little work, it could be worn again.
04[15:34] * +Mercury looks over at Kirengo and then to the object in question.
15[15:38] * +Kirengo stares at the gauntlet for a minute then looks between it and the broken tank. Piece of his father next to a tank. He gets up and moves around to look inside the tank at the dead bodies. Pegasus... pegasus... pegasus... zebra... He walks forward and tries to pull the body of the zebra out.
07[15:39] * +Mercury has already pulled the pegasi into a row.
04[15:39] * +Blastwave walks over and tries to help Kirengo asuming he is allowed
07[15:39] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head and trots over toward the tank. "What's going on?"
[15:40] <~Zeph|GM> 3All the bodies in the tank have suffered from extensive magical burns to the point of being recognizable as equines, Orion's build and lack of wings separating his charred and otherwise unrecognizable to anyone that didn't closely know him, body.
07[15:41] * +Mercury "...Someone you knew?"
15[15:43] * +Kirengo takes Blastwave's help and then looks over the body, using the gauntlet to vaguely measure leg size. He bites his lip then uses Blastwave's help again to heft the burnt body onto his back. He looks at Clipped_Cantle (having never put his helmet back on after leaving the house, yay retcon) and can't really say anything until after Mercury speaks. "My father."
07[15:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hangs her head "We are sorry..."
04[15:44] * +Clipped_Cantle winces. "Shit... I'm... Kirengo. Fuck, I'm sorry..."
07[15:44] * +Mercury bites her lip in her helmet. "oh... I'm sorry for your loss..."
04[15:44] * +Blastwave gulps at that proclimation, "Kiren... i'm so sorry." he hangs his head and goes to give him a comforting hug
15[15:46] * +Kirengo squints his eyes shut and leans his head into Blastwave's hug, giving the ghoul a nuzzle after it's broken. "Thirty-two. We need to... I need..." He just starts wakling.
07[15:47] * +Blastwave lets go of the hug and flys beside him protectively
07[15:47] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and nods. "To... thirty-two, then..."
07[15:47] * +Mercury gets up and follows.
04[15:47] * +Clipped_Cantle follows after Kirengo
04[15:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Kirengo, staying next to Clipped and not knowing what to say
15[15:49] * +Kirengo sniffles and puts his helmet back on so nobody could see his face while they made the half hour walk to 32.
07[15:50] * +Blastwave opens his mouth to say something, but shuts it again.
07[15:51] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and looks at the ground as she trots.
[15:52] <~Zeph|GM> 3The journey of the low charisma characters and Mercury is presumably a quiet one as they make their way towards Stable 32, arriving at the entrance about thirty-odd minutes later.
07[15:53] * +Blastwave does not know how to stable
15[15:54] * +Kirengo looks up at the Stable Tec Outlet as they reach it. "It's in here..." He walks through the outlet and into the secret underground entrance.
04[15:54] * +Blastwave follows Kirengo into the stable and really hopes they aren't shot because of their armour
07[15:54] * +Clipped_Cantle follows the zebra-striped road.
15[15:55] * +Kirengo was only walking up to the stable door beneath the stable tec outlet, not actually into the stable.
04[15:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Kirengo and her player hopes she can fit down there
07[15:55] * +Blastwave already said he can't stable, cut him some slack
07[15:56] * +Mercury follows as well, the most likely to be shot as she is still in full Enclave black.
15[15:58] * +Kirengo takes his helmet back off as he approaches the door and, inevitably, the guards.
07[15:59] * +Blastwave also takes his helmet off and carries it under a wing-stub
[16:00] <~Zeph|GM> 3The camera installed in a corner above the heavy door sweeps over the group, before a crackling speaker-voice inquires, "Who are you and what business do you have here?"
07[16:02] * +Clipped_Cantle follows suit and hangs her helmet from her armor.
[16:02] <+Clipped_Cantle> After taking it off, of course.
15[16:02] * +Kirengo calls back out, "Kirengo. Primer's nephew and Karina's son. We're here to see the survivors of Shantyshod."
07[16:02] * +Blastwave shuts his mouth tight to avoid and possible accidental joke
[16:02] <+Blastwave> any
04[16:04] * +Mercury looks up to the camera, and then to Kirengo.
04[16:04] * +Clipped_Cantle keeps her muzzle shut and stands next to Moonlight`s_Shimmer, letting Kirengo do the talking.
07[16:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer tries her best not to look like a giant insane alicorn....wait...
[16:06] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is a pause, while the guard notifies Primer of the newcomers, not quite ready to open the door to the power armored group and the alicorn just yet...
15[16:08] * +Kirengo "Any day now..."
07[16:11] * +Primer brakes in on the broadcast system. "What! Let me see!" The sound of a scuffle is head and Primers voice is heard again. "And take your damned hoof off of the button when you arent talking, I've told you a thousand times." Silence rules for a few Moment before the audio returns. "Kid! It is you! Get your flanks in here, provided you vouch for your friends."
[16:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3The guard on the radio uses 'broadcast all' to respond to Primer, mumbling, "Sorry, maam."
15[16:14] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes. "Yeah Aunt Primer, it's me! And we'll get our flanks in there as soon as the door opens."
04[16:15] * +Blastwave goes all serious. He doesn't want to make a bad impression in front of Kiren's family. Esspecially considering he';s a pegasus ghoul and helping escourt Kiren's dead dad...
07[16:15] * +Primer harumps over the audio. "Well, I'll take that as a yes. I'll be right down." Then she sends the word over a different channel to the door guards for them to open the Stable door.
15[16:16] * +Kirengo "Alright!" He looks back at the rest of his group. "When that door opens... just don't stare."
07[16:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "Stare at what?"
[16:16] <~Zeph|GM> 3The door crew responds by triggering the heavy door to open slowly, admitting view and passage inside.
07[16:17] * +Mercury tilts her head. "huh?"
07[16:17] * +Blastwave "Anything moon, if you need to Stare Clipped's Flank is your only option." He stands at attention
[16:17] <+Mercury> (Before door opened)
15[16:18] * +Kirengo "What Blast said..." He turns back at the door opens and starts to walk in.
07[16:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "O...okay...?" she proceeds to stare at Clipped_Cantle's flank, worried that she might be looking at the wrong thing for to long and end up staring at something she's not suppossed to
07[16:19] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head, glad nobody can see her blush.
04[16:20] * +Mercury follows Kirengo, looking around the Stable; she had never seen one before.
04[16:21] * +Blastwave follows Kirengo closely, wait too close so he backs up, wait too much. Damnit. He just follows and stops worrying
07[16:21] * +Clipped_Cantle does the whole following thing, too.
07[16:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle, staring at her plot
07[16:21] * +Primer walks through a door into the heavily fortified entrance area. She is wearing a suit of Riot Gear with the normal brown duster replaced with a whiteish Flak jacket, the helmet is off and hangs by her midsection, she isn't wearing a battle saddle right now but a large caiber (454 Casull) revolver is in a leg holster. Primer is very noticably -not- a normal earth pony, she shows sings of heavy cybernetic augmentation, and looks to be in her
[16:22] <+Primer> early sixties. http://i.imgur.com/6mfrB.jpg
07[16:23] * +Blastwave has seen stranger things so he just salutes
15[16:23] * +Kirengo clears his throat, the burnt body of his father still on his back. "Hey Aunt Primer... please tell me Mom and the rest of Shantyshod are here..."
07[16:23] * +Mercury trips her SATS as she sees Primer, getting any accidental staring out of the way in slowed time.
07[16:24] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks. Ah, don't stare at that. Right. She simply nods to Primer, then starts examining the stable door.
07[16:24] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is still staring at Clipped's plot like she was told and hasn't even looked at Primer yet
07[16:26] * +Blastwave goes to say something to Moonlight`s_Shimmer, but she'd just misunderstand again so he gave up
04[16:26] * +Primer smiles when she sees her godson. "Hello Kid, and yes, everypony apa-" She spots the lump on Kirengo's back. "Ah... we've been wondering..." She looks over the rest of the party, covered by the massive pillboxes and their LMG's. "So, more trouble..." She seems focused on the Applejack's rangers insignias instead of the people in theis suits.
07[16:29] * +Clipped_Cantle looks back over at Primer. "More trouble? What do you mean? Anything we can do to help?"
15[16:29] * +Kirengo closes his eyes and gives a very, very deep sigh of relief. "And yeah... I found him," he says, referring to the body on his back. He looks at each member of his group, pointing to them in turn, "Primer, this is Blast, Clipped, Moon, and Mercury. Everybody, this is my Aunt Primer."
[16:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is a loud noise from the intercom, which crackles and pipes out an urgent voice saying, "Security to level U3! Possible trace on the target!"
07[16:30] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues staring at Clipped_Cantle's plot as she's introduced "Hello."
07[16:30] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at the announcement. "Is that the trouble?"
07[16:30] * +Blastwave nod, "it's a pleasure to meet you. I wish it could be under better circumstances."
15[16:30] * +Kirengo looks at Moon. "Moon, stop that. Just look around freely." He perks up at the intercom and looks back at Primer. "What the heck is that?"
07[16:32] * +Primer curses. "Blast it! Introductions has to wait, I need to take care of this." She looks to the pillbox crews. "They're okay, let them in." Then she returns her attention to the group. "We've been hafing a spot of trouble with somepony killing Rangers and their related kin. I'm almost ready to use -that-."
07[16:32] * +Mercury was about to extend her wing, but stops and looks up at the security alert.
07[16:33] * +Blastwave frowns, "That does not sound good..."
07[16:33] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns. "Killing... Rangers?" She snaps her helmet back on her head.
07[16:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer rather enjoys staring at Clipped, but is glad to be told she can look around now "Okay..." she looks at Primer and immediately stares at her...the technology that must've been put into her...she hardly hears the intercom and the conversation
15[16:33] * +Kirengo blinks at Primer. "Oh heck no... using that would only make it worse if it's a ghoul. Is it a ghoul?" He shakes his head. "Let us help. Be a good tour."
07[16:35] * +Primer mutters. "Tell me about it." She meets Moonlight's stare and matches it, there were a lot of steel left in the old mare. "We don't know yet, ghoul or not, it makes chunky salsa of most of the victims. You are free to help, but you take orders from me in my Stable."
07[16:36] * +Blastwave "What, ghoul, huh?
[16:36] <~Zeph|GM> 3The intercom crackles again, "Lost the trace! Heading unknown!"
07[16:36] * +Clipped_Cantle nods to Primer, curious about this talk about ghouls, but that could wait until later. "Fair enough."
15[16:37] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave. "Ask me later." He nods at Primer then looks back up at t he intercom. "How do you lose a trace when most of the stable has EFS?!"
07[16:37] * +Blastwave "Maybe whoeevr it is has a stealthbuck?
07[16:38] * +Mercury "That?" Thats were rarely good, even less so when one did not know about 'that'.
07[16:39] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks, but continues to study Primer from a distance
07[16:39] * +Primer stomps a hoof into the floor, making a loud ringing noise. "Fucking balefire and bloody damnation!" She starts to trott of into the stable, expecting the group to follow. "The thing is elusive, and so far all we have to go on is traces of invisibility some of our unicorns could pick up."
15[16:40] * +Kirengo snorts and puts on his helmet once again. He goes over and sets his father's body down against a wall. "Let's go." He follows Primer, dreading his next question. "Stealth cloak?"
07[16:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's eye twitches at the mention of invisibility
07[16:40] * +Mercury "If it hunts Rangers... We have a lot a bait at the moment, ma'am."
07[16:40] * +Blastwave follows after Primer and nods. This didn't sound good at all. He looked back at the Blue Alicorn and had to wonder if maybe it was a 'sister'
04[16:40] * +Clipped_Cantle follows after Primer and Kirengo. "Well, if it's after Rangers... we could try and bring it out of hiding."
[16:40] <+Mercury> a lot of*
15[16:40] * +Kirengo "Bringing it out of hiding won't be too hard, no..."
07[16:42] * +Primer continues into the Stable, heading for the armory. "So far, we don't know, Spell, Buck or cloak, it could be any of these three. And whoever... whatever, is doing this, is not dumb enough to draw our attention with exessive force or even multible kills during one day."
07[16:43] * +Primer **Scratch the exessive force bit**
15[16:43] * +Kirengo "Have they made a kill today yet?"
07[16:45] * +Primer smiles and shakes her head. "Not yet..." She peers at her nephew. "And your mom would kick my face in if I used you as bait."
07[16:46] * +Clipped_Cantle shrugs at Primer. "Use me, then. With everyone ready for it, what could go wrong?"
07[16:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "We will be bait with you then."
[16:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3A short while into the stable, there is a short series of *tinks* as the group is blinded by several bright flashes and deafened by the cracks of the flashbangs going off.
[16:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3Time seems to slow for Clipped Cantle as she feels an immense pressure on her midsection, in milliseconds provoking her entire HUD to go crazy with flashing, red warnings, before the force-trauma knocks the consciousness out of her.
[16:47] <~Zeph|GM> 10Roll for -2d3 PER and -30% to all skill checks for 2d2 rounds. Roll initiative.
[16:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3Barely visible through the blinding effect is a brief, shimmering ripple in the air beside Clipped Cantle, the latter of which has made a nasty dent in the Stable's wall from the massive impact.
07[16:50] * +Primer curses and wobbles a bit, her repair talisman begins reparing the damage to her eyes immediatly. "Bleeding hell! Guards! GUARDS!"
07[16:51] * +Clipped_Cantle smashes into the wall and slumps to the floor, unmoving.
07[16:52] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head to try and clear it "Clipped!?"
07[16:54] * +Clipped_Cantle doesn't respond or move from where she landed on the floor.
[16:55] <~Zeph|GM> 10By turns now.
15[16:56] * +Kirengo yells out in pain from the flash, turning to see the shimmer and Clipped go flying through the air. Oh heck no. He was not losing someone else today too.
07[16:57] * +Blastwave swears and rumages for his greande launcher, "I'm blowing this fucker up, sorry if it breaks anything!"
07[16:58] * +Primer blinks past the spots in her vistion and pulls her massive revolver and fires away at the ripple. She fires the revolver empty before startign to reload, the fingers on her prostetic hooves makign the action much easier.
07[17:04] * +Blastwave is confused by this freaky hand stuff
[17:17] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is a sparkling spray of blood as one of the bullets comes straight out the other side of the invisible enemy. The enemy leaps over to the side of the robomare and spins around, bucking her violently into the wall under tremendous force, leaving another nasty dent, leaving her prone. The invisible attacker then sprints down the corridor as he heads in direction of the stable's exit at...
[17:17] <~Zeph|GM> ...a break-neck speed.
15[17:19] * +Kirengo quickly follows that bastard and tries to tackle him.
07[17:19] * +Primer thumps into the wall and immediatly starts to get on her hooves, the attack barely phased her. She brings up her pipbuck and yells into it after pressing a few buttons. "Close the Stable Door!"
15[17:20] <+Kirengo> flying tackle*
04[17:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo slams into his small target, briefly wrestling and then pinning him to the floor.
13[17:24] * @ChanServ ([email protected]) Quit (luna.canternet.org services.canternet.org)
15[17:26] * +Kirengo presses himself down on the equine and tries to reach up and pull his hood down if he can.
15[17:28] * +Kirengo fails to get his hoof up there while keeping his grip on the equine, so he just stays on top of him. "It's a stealth cloak!"
04[17:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3The pinned attacker wrests Kirengo's attempts off, the protecting invisibility remaining in place.
06[17:29] * ChanServ ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[17:29] * services.canternet.org sets mode: +o ChanServ
07[17:35] * +Blastwave flies over as fast as he can and pulls out his magi pistol aims it at the invisible bitch, and fires twice at point blank
[17:36] <~Zeph|GM> 0d0+80-15-10-20
07[17:36] * +Blastwave only shoots once then with an aimed shot then
07[17:39] * +Blastwave is claiming this kill, just FYI
[17:42] <~Zeph|GM> 3The searing projectile tears into the attackers chest, turning his vital organs into well-done smelling meat and sinew as the tiny buck stops moving in death.
07[17:42] * +Blastwave blinks, "Is he dead? I can't see..."
07[17:43] * +Mercury goes over to Clipped_Cantle, fishing for one of the mare's healing potions.
15[17:44] * +Kirengo feels the body stop moving beneath him. He quickly unclasps the cloak and throws it off him before rearing up and burying his hooves into the body repeatedly.
[17:44] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped's suit is sealed and is automatically applying life-saving aid. There's nothing Mercury can do other than getting a doctor ...a good one ...a really good one ...a really, really good one.
07[17:45] * +Blastwave blinks at this and sort of backs away, "Uh I'll just." he flies over to Clipped_Cantle, "is she going to be okay, do you have doctors?"
04[17:45] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer opens her eyes after clearing her head and looks around, seeing Kirengo on top of a dead body and Blastwave near him, she looks around desperately looking for Clipped, upon seeing her, Moon's eyes go wide and she flies over to her marefriend and drapes her wings over her, trying to take off the mare's helmet with her telekenesis "Clipped! Clipped!? Please be okay...please be okay..."
07[17:45] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer she begins to sob
07[17:46] * +Blastwave puts a hoof on Moonlight`s_Shimmer's back, "She'll be fine, she'll be fine." he looks over to Primer. "Is there anything you can do?"
[17:46] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> Not trying to take off her helmet because that would be bad*
07[17:47] * +Clipped_Cantle would try to calm Moon, but alas.
07[17:47] * +Mercury tries to hold the helmet on. "No! It may be helping her." She sets her helmet coms to connect to anything and everything she can. "We need a doctor (insert location here)!"
07[17:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer puts her head up against Clipped's and just sobs "Wake up Clipped...please wake up..."
07[17:49] * +Primer shakes her head clear, her body's mostly returned to health apart from soem organic damage that can be overlooked. "Follow me to the Med-bay." She sets off down the corridor after holstering her revolver.
04[17:49] * +Blastwave nods at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "Carry Clipped carefully, and follow primer! I'll pull Kiren off the bastard and be there soon."
15[17:50] * +Kirengo stops pounding once the stripey buck is turned into so much strawberry jelly. He looks down at the mess and takes a couple of steps back.
07[17:50] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks up at Primer and nods slowly, levitating Clipped_Cantle in the air and very carefully sets her on her back, she quickly follows Primer, trying to get ahold of her tears
04[17:50] * +Blastwave flys back to Kirengo, "K-kiren. Are you..."
04[17:51] * +Mercury looks over to Kirengo's display, cringing, then follows Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
07[17:52] * +Primer runs down the corridors, briefly yelling at a guard to scrape the offender off the floor. After about a minute they arrive in the medical wing of the Stable. "Whirr! Where are you! We have a medical emergency!"
04[17:52] <~Zeph|GM> 3From fragments of stripes that are discernible, Kirengo can tell that this bloody mess was once a small zebra. The zebra's blood and insides are now somewhat evenly distributed through out the corridor and over Kirengo, the battered equipment similarly colored.
07[17:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Primer into the med wing, tears streaming down her face "Please..."
15[17:54] * +Kirengo doesn't move or say much of anything after he spares a glance back to see that Clipped is being rushed off to the clinic. If Blastwave gets close, though, he can probably hear Kiren quietly sobbing in his helmet.
04[17:54] * +Blastwave can hear Kiren and quitly wraps him into a hug really wishing he wasn't wearing this bulky armour
[17:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3An age-grey stallion wearing surgeon's scrubs peeks out of a brightly lit med bay, half shouting, "Whassit Prime? hah! Rev! Rev gettam reddy!" He disappears back inside quickly, leaving the door open, shouting, "Pachents only! Hah!"
07[17:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer doesn't know quite what to do, so follows the stallion inside the room quickly
07[17:57] * +Mercury looks from the doctor to Primer, a little concerned.
07[17:57] * +Primer does not give a fuck about Whirr's injured feelings and trotts inside, stayign next to Moonlight. "Don't mind him, I'd trust him with my guts, and has done so more than once."
15[17:58] * +Kirengo gets a bit louder as Blastwave hugs him, taking a step back after a moment. "H-hang on..." He fumbles for a minute then tears off his helmet, revealing his red eyes and very damp cheeks.
07[17:59] * +Blastwave takes off his helmet as well and nuzzles the poor stallion. He's not really sure what to say, so he sticks to the classic, "Everything will be alright..."
[18:00] <~Zeph|GM> 3The room has a large operating table in the middle and is compulsively white and clean, the extreme lighting hurting the eyes of most present. Whirr gestures to the table and continues to shout, "Setterdown, hah! An Scram! Yah! Scram! Need AIR ta work, hah!"
[18:00] <~Zeph|GM> 3A ghoulified griffin with no wing or lower jaw plods forward to see the 'intruders' out, after they deposit Clipped_Cantle.
[18:00] <~Zeph|GM> 3no wings*
15[18:01] * +Kirengo keeps his head next to Blastwave's as he cries. "M-maybe w-with Clipped... you can't f-... you can't fix dead."
07[18:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sets down Clipped_Cantle but stands her ground "No...we need to be here for her..."
07[18:02] * +Primer lays a matal hoof on the alicorns shoulder. "Com on, there's a viewing room over there." She points to a glassed in room overlooking the surgical area.
07[18:02] * +Blastwave "I... I'm sorry I wish I could..." he just shuts up and let the buck cry
[18:02] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "W-we will not be in your way...we promise...please...we cannot leave her..."
[18:03] <~Zeph|GM> 3The griffin, presumably 'Rev', gestures his bulky MEW rifle at Moonlight`s_Shimmer as Whirr shouts as he gets out an emergency override tool out, "Sterril room, hah! Donwanner ta die, doya? Yah!?"
07[18:03] * +Primer applies gentle pressure to her hoof. "Gome on big gal, Whirr knows what he's doing."
07[18:04] * +Mercury leers at Rev under her helmet.
07[18:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "W-what? O-okay..." she very reluctantly heads to the viewing room with Primer
15[18:05] * +Kirengo proceeds to do just that against Blastwave's head for the next several minutes. Eventually he gives a very wet sniffle and goes to pull his head away. "We need... to go... Clipped..."
07[18:06] * +Blastwave "Primer is taking care of it." he says softly. "At the med bay, I uh, don't know where that is..."
[18:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr pulls down a crane supported combination life-support unit as he unseals and takes off the helmet, immediately setting a multitude of devices into action on Clipped_Cantle's neck, returning and rerouting bloodflow.
07[18:07] * +Primer leaves the surgical area and heads up to the viewing room. Before exiting she glares at Whirr. Then she stands, leaned up against a wall while looking down at Clipped.
07[18:08] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffles and stares down at her marefriend, she clenches her eyes shut for a moment "Please be okay..."
[18:08] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rev clears the rest of the equines out of the room, before leaving himself and following them up to the observation area, where he takes up position on the far wall, as he mutely stands there, watching.
07[18:09] * +Primer sighs. "So, care to fill me in? I know all about my nephew, but I havent met any of you before."
15[18:10] * +Kirengo "It's... it's over by... I know where." He does a horrible job of wiping all the tears and snot off of his face, probably succeeding in getting more blood from his legs on his face than he actually got tears and snot off. He gets up and gathers up whatever the heck it was that did so much damage to Clipped and actually hurt Primer, as well as the stealth cloak.
07[18:10] * +Mercury follows the two other mares, but quickly becomes very uncomfortable.
04[18:11] * +Blastwave doesn't really have anything to clean Kirengo's face off with so he just nuzzles him some more. Normally his instinct at this point would be bad jokes, but that would not go over well
[18:12] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr now uses his tool to unseal and unlink separate sections of the armor to get Clipped_Cantle's main body out of the suit, tutting loudly as he observes the crumpled body for a moment. He starts weaving about the different storage units in the room, taking out labeled boxes as the life-support monitor starts relaying somewhat positive information to the observation room.
07[18:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffles "W-we are applejack rangers...we were sent here t-to check on the town a-and surrounding area..." she breaks out into tears when she sees Clipped's crumpled body
07[18:14] * +Primer winces. "Fuck... what was he using? That's way beyond normal powerhooves." She looks at the big mare. "You close?"
15[18:15] * +Kirengo returns Blastwave's nuzzle with another sniffle then goes to lead him to the clinic and, upon seeing the operation in progress, the observation room.
07[18:15] * +Blastwave tries to be silently supportive because he's not sure what to say. "Oh..." he sees clipped. "That looks... oh."
07[18:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hangs her head as she cries "W-we...l-love her..."
07[18:16] * +Mercury looks over to see the two blood and zebra innards coated stallions enter... even more uncomfortable.
[18:17] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr pulls out a second workspace as he opens a few of the boxes, taking out several uncomfortable looking tools. He hooks them up to a machine-laden trolley and wheels it over to the table Clipped_Cantle is on, before flicking a switch.
15[18:17] * +Kirengo is the only one covered in blood and zebra innards. "Aunt Primer... it was just that one, right?"
07[18:18] * +Primer smiles softly. Ahh, love... yeah, that had not gone over well for the old cybermare. "Yeah kid, as far as we know. Did you leave enough for identification?"
07[18:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks back up through the glass...she had to watch...she had to know what he is doing to her...
07[18:20] * +Blastwave "How many zebras have stealth cloaks and... whatever those are." he points at the hoof weaponry
15[18:21] * +Kirengo "Yeah... no... Probably not... I kinda...
15[18:21] <+Kirengo> "
07[18:22] * +Primer smiles lopsidedly. "Mashed him to a pulp?"
07[18:22] * +Blastwave "Pulp is a much thicker consistancy"
[18:22] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr then shakes his head and begins to take out and assemble what eventually seems to resemble ...a lot of a pony. He leaves the construct at the side as he starts rummaging in another storage unit.
04[18:23] * +Mercury gives Kirengo a wide birth as she heads out of the room.
15[18:23] * +Kirengo swallows hard and nods silently, the blood covering the front half of his power armor being a pretty good proof of what he'd done.
07[18:23] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer , despite the tears in her eyes, pays close attention to everything Whirr does, taking in even the minor details
15[18:24] * +Kirengo "I need... to go see Mom."
07[18:24] * +Primer sighs and shakes her head. "From what I know, not many have access to something like that..." She looks down into the room below and frowns before pushing a button to the intercom. "Whirr, is that much really necessary? If I find that you are just trying out stuff that isn't absolutley needed, I'll kick you through a wall."
04[18:25] * +Primer waves Kirengo off. "Go, I'll keep an eye on things here."
07[18:25] * +Blastwave looks around, "Should I... go with?"
[18:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr finds his quarry and takes out a medical, circular saw and hooks it up, before setting it down on a tray beside the operating table. He checks a display on the tools he had taken out previously, before looking up to the observation deck and whisper-yelling in response to Primer, "Me!? Hah! Weet till ya see whatter looks inside! Ya seen whattem attacks does ta ponies!" He promptly...
[18:29] <~Zeph|GM> ...pulls up a shinethough image of Clipped_Cantle's torso up on the observation-screen: Without knowing specifics of medicine, the observers can safely say to themselves, 'a pony's organs don't look like that...'
07[18:31] * +Primer whinces, glad that her own insides are plently sturdier than that. "Okay, I take it back... but leave the fun bits if you can salvage them. And I have seen what those things does to a pony, felt them just now."
07[18:31] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer whimpers as she sees the image...she briefly looks at Primer "C-can he save her...?"
07[18:34] * +Primer smiles reassuringly at Moonlight's_Shimmer. "If he cant... nopony can." She sits down heavily and takes out a small bottle, then places it in a tiny compartment in her foreleg. "He has done a lot of good despite his bedside manner."
07[18:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer breaks out into more sobs...after a moment she sniffles then looks back at Primer "W-will she b-become like you if she survives...?"
[18:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr takes out the circular saw and starts it up with a loud ...whirring... noise, shouting, "Will do, hah! They was off-side anyweh! Hah! Minner dammige!" He sets the saw onto the point where Clipped_Cantle's neck meets her skull and starts carefully cutting rills into the top several vertebrae,...
[18:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3...before setting it aside without turning it off and getting out a pair of forceps.
07[18:36] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer winces as she watches Whirr work
15[18:38] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave for a moment. "I... I uh...."
07[18:38] * +Primer nods. "Most likley... looks about the same amount funnily enough..." She sighs in relief and rolls her joints, the ones near her body. "She's going to need you after this, need to know that you love her despite this."
04[18:38] * +Blastwave looks at Kirengo, "I mean... because of... uh. If you want me too, if not I can stay here."
15[18:39] * +Kirengo finally nods at Blastwave then looks back at Primer. "Where is she?"
07[18:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods slowly as she watches Whirr "We will always love her...is there anything we need to know...? About...cybernetics?"
04[18:41] * +Primer looks at Kirengo. "In her quarters last time I checked." She returns her attention to Moonlight. "Some, mostly that they require different upkeep. Ask Whirr about it, I'm not much of a geek myself."
[18:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr removes the vertebrae and rushes over to the workbench, taking off a metal, segmented length of three cybernetic vertebrae, carefully attaching them to the nerves with a steadiness and precision non-typical for ponies his age.
[18:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Once done, he pulls down a second life-support crane and attaches the cybernetic body to it, transparent, blue, synthetic blood beginning to course though the two machines. The stallion then uses the arranged tools to ...extract... Clipped Cantle's reproductive organs,...
15[18:45] * +Kirengo "Thanks..." He gets up, waits for Blastwave to get up, then makes sure his father's body is in the morgue before he heads off to his mother's quarters.
[18:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3...the less fragile parts of which are still in tact(read: not the ovaries), and begins work on integrating them into the cybernetic body's hind-section.
04[18:45] * +Blastwave follows after Kirengo closely
04[18:47] * +Mercury stands back as Kirengo heads out, keeping distance.
15[18:48] * +Kirengo gets to the residential section and knocks on the door most likely for his mother to be in.
15[18:48] <+Kirengo> door of the room most*
07[18:49] * +Blastwave stands beside him trying to look as little like a ghoul pegasi enclave pony thing as possible
15[18:51] <+Kirengo> The door swings open a minute later to a small zebra mare in her sixties, the black in her mane starting to gray with age.  She's wearing a very, very tattered black robe with a special talisman on the clasp and a pipbuck on her right foreleg.  She smiles wide and glomps Kirengo as she sees the two in the door.  "Kuwashu'uru nyota uko hai."  She steps back from the hug and blinks at the zebra as she takes him in with her eyes.  "Yale ya ku'imu kili'otokea k'ako?"
15[18:51] * +Kirengo gives his mom a hug and shakes his head. "Equestrian, Mom."
15[18:52] <+Kirengo> Karina blinks again.  "That wasn't the expected reply.  Uh... okay, but why?"
15[18:52] * +Kirengo points at Blastwave.
07[18:52] * +Blastwave tries to stop being invisible.
07[18:53] * +Blastwave gives a slight wave, "Hello, ma'am."
[18:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr proceeds to separate Clipped_Cantle's head from her jelly-baby - I mean: body! -, before shifting her head onto the life-support crane's sterile tool-tray and ...pushing said jelly-body off the table and onto the floor, where it lands in a literally boneless fashion.
[18:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3He then uses the tool crane to move the cybernetic body to where the old one was and proceeds to connect Clipped's new spine to it, locking it into place. Whirr then gets a fine mech out of one of the storage units and begins the not-nice-to-look-at process of replacing the small mare's remaining skin with it.
15[18:56] <+Kirengo> Karina looks at Blastwave for a few moments.  "First, don't call me ma'am.  Second, what the heck is with this sham?" She waves her hoof at Blastwave's and Kirengo's power armor.
04[18:57] * +Blastwave blinks at Karina, "Sorry." He lowers his head and looks at Kiren to answer because this mare terrified him if only from the stories he had been told
07[18:57] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer winces..a lot... as she sees Clipped_Cantle...decapitated...tears still pouring down her face...
07[18:59] * +Primer lays a foreleg around the alicorn. Something this caring cant be the monster she was rumored to be. "She'll be alright." Not really, but what do you want from an old mare.
15[18:59] * +Kirengo sighs. "Long story, Mom. There were bloodwings... and tanks... and Enclave... and fighting... and then we won and came back and we're now Applejack's Rangers, and..."
15[18:59] <+Kirengo> Karina tilts her head and looks at her son's scar.  "Did the Enclave do that to you?  Is that who?"
07[19:00] * +Blastwave just sort of tries not to get too involved in the conversation until the time is right, but he does nod at the question
07[19:01] * +Mercury is still in the hallway... really unsure what to do.
07[19:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continuously wipes the tears out of her eyes with a wing, part of her wanting to watch...and the other part not wanting to...she doesn't react to Primer's touching or comforting
15[19:02] * +Kirengo nods. "Yeah..."
15[19:03] <+Kirengo> Karina growls softly.  "Bucking Enclave... think they can't get worse then they give my son a scar..."  She huffs then looks at Blastwave.  "And who are you?"
04[19:05] * +Blastwave blinks at Karina. "I'm Sec-I mean. I'm. Blastwave. A, er, Freind of your son..." He coughs into his hoof. "Ex-enclave." Lying would probably be bad, he reasons.
07[19:08] * +Primer patpats Moonlight's_Shimmer's back. "I went through something similar, first I was nearly burned to ash by MEW's, then I got forcefully altered further... I'll give her what help she needs to adjust. But your part is more important." She stands up. "Do you want me to leave?"
15[19:08] <+Kirengo> Karina narrows her eyes at Blastwave.  "Ex-Enclave..."  She looks up at Kirengo.  "You really think he'll behave?"
07[19:08] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues staring at Clipped_Cantle through the window, watching Whirr work "Y-you are fine..."
07[19:09] * +Blastwave wonders how many enclave tanks he needs to blow up to be trustworth
[19:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr finishes that part of the process and uses a fine, metallic gel to 'glue' the mesh in place, tutting at the metal jaw as he removes it. He retrieves some tubing and begins connecting Clipped's food and air intakes with the cyberbody, before disconnecting a cyber-jaw from something that looks to be some sort of cross between a skull and a wearable helmet.
[19:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3He adjusts the fake bone on the workbench and attaches it to Clipped's reinforced skull, securely connecting it with the necessary muscles and adding synthetic replacements where necessary.
[19:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3Finally, Whirr starts adjusting the display on the second life-support unit, before connecting them, the red quickly making way for the blue as the blood-replacement takes over.
07[19:10] * +Primer sits back down, ignoring any paging beeps on her pipbuck.
15[19:11] * +Kirengo nods at his mother. "Yes... I'm... very confident he'll behave. He went through his 'almost feral' point already."
04[19:12] * +Blastwave blinks and looks over at Kirengo... then back at Karina. Cute awkward nervous smile
07[19:14] * +Mercury gets up and walks back into the room with Primer and Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Um... can I get anypony anything?"
15[19:14] <+Kirengo> Karina looks between Kirengo and Blastwave a couple times then sighs.  "Alright.  I'm just happy you're okay after the Shantyshod fight..."  She looks at Blastwave and his weird smile.  "Yes?"
07[19:15] * +Blastwave stops smiling. "Nothing."
07[19:15] * +Primer looks over her shoulder. "I'm good."
15[19:17] * +Kirengo sighs. "Mom... I found... I found Dad... He's... in the morgue."
[19:19] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr connects a needle-like tool to something inside Clipped_Cantle and turns it on, stepping away from his work, before turning to the observation room, saying, "An now we's waet! hah! Gotta lett'er skin come ...ahhh... back! Heh!"
15[19:19] <+Kirengo> Karina blinks and her ears droop.  "I was hoping that'd be something nobody would do..."  She gets out of the doorway.  "Get out of your armor."  She looks at Blastwave.  "You too."
15[19:20] * +Kirengo says nothing as he enters the room and starts getting out of the armor without an argument.
07[19:20] * +Blastwave is not one to disobey orders from dangerous inlaws and takes off his armour
15[19:22] <+Kirengo> Karina rears up as the zebra buck gets all his armor off, wipes down his face with her cloak, then gives him a hug.
15[19:23] * +Kirengo sits down and puts one foreleg around his mother.
07[19:24] * +Blastwave steps back and looks for a second before studying the floor. Getting involved in family time was a bad idea
15[19:25] <+Kirengo> Karina looks over Kirengo's back at Blastwave.  "Hey."
07[19:25] * +Blastwave blinks, "Hey...?"
07[19:26] * +Primer looks down at Whirr's hoofywork. "Looks like things went well."
15[19:29] <+Kirengo> Karina "Get over here."
13[19:30] * ~Zeph|GM ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
04[19:30] * +Blastwave moves closer at the command and puts a leg around Kirengo's shoulders in a small hug. but is ready to leave on the off chance he misunderstood
07[19:31] * +Mercury give a sight of relief and walks up to Primer. "That is good to hear... May I bother you for something?"
07[19:31] * +Primer nods. "Yeah, sure."
06[19:32] * Zeph|GM ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[19:32] * ChanServ sets mode: +qo Zeph|GM Zeph|GM
07[19:33] * +Mercury rubs her fetlock a bit. "Um... I was wondering if I could get or buy some flammable liquid?"
15[19:33] * +Kirengo puts his other leg around Blastwave and pulls him in tighter.
07[19:34] * +Blastwave hugs the poor zebra tighter and nuzzles him a little bit
15[19:35] <+Kirengo> Karina nuzzles Kirengo's other side.  "It's hard to feel support through armor."
07[19:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues staring at Clipped_Cantle, still sobbing openly
07[19:35] * +Primer sighs. "Like what?" She wasnt really in the mood for talking buisness right now.
[19:36] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr rewashes his hooves with disinfectant, before returning to observe as Clipped_Cantle's new coat and skin form in the same color of her original one, the synthetic tail taking on the color of her mane. "Anyponeh upferra drink!? Eeh!?"
07[19:37] * +Mercury takes off her helmet and sets it at her hooves. “I want to give the Enclave dead a proper send off." She looks back up at Primer. "Despite what they did, I knew some of them and I don’t want to leave them for the Radroaches.”
07[19:37] * +Blastwave mumbles his agreement. he wished he could help more than hugs, but this was not really his strong point.
07[19:39] * +Primer gives Mercury a lopsided look. "A funeral pyre? I can help with that... a bit." They needed ashes for the fertilising of the apple orchard. "We have a crematorium here, I can spare a few guards for that." Yeah, those on probation.
15[19:41] <+Kirengo> Karina just hugs for several minutes before speaking up again.  "Your father flew around their flank and actually managed to break into a tank.  He managed to drive it into another one and take them both out.  He gave us all time to escape and a chance to fight back instead of it just being a rout."
15[19:42] * +Kirengo lifts his head up and sniffles. "Wow..."
07[19:42] * +Mercury nods. "Thank you very much. You don't need to assign anypony to help, but I would not begrudge the help.” She puts her helmet back on. “I appreciate it.”
07[19:43] * +Blastwave "Into a tank? It took us... like, a bomb the size of clipped to destory just one... woah..."
07[19:43] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer levitates out a bottle and chugs it down quickly, before going back to staring at Clipped_Cantle
07[19:44] * +Mercury "Oh... The bodies were mostly stripped, if you have any of their tags..."
07[19:45] * +Primer nods to Mercury. "I'll see that you have help." Then she stands. "I'll spread the word, but I can't promise anything about those tags."
15[19:45] <+Kirengo> Karina nods.  "Big explosion."  She kisses Kirengo's cheek.  "Hebu k'enda ku'ema huj' kwake."  (Let's go say hi to him.)
15[19:45] * +Kirengo nods. "Sawa..." He looks at Blastwave. "Can we meet back up in the observation room? (Okay...)
[19:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr looks envious at Moonlight`s_Shimmer's bottle, before pushing Clipped_Cantle's jelly-body into a storage-and-disposal container with a rubber-bristled broom.
07[19:47] * +Blastwave nods, "Yeah." he lets go. "I... uh... I'm sorry."
07[19:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer winces as Clipped's 'jelly' body is disposed of...she doesn't know what to think of that...
07[19:48] * +Mercury walks up next to Moonlight`s_Shimmer, not sure how to help with this.
15[19:48] * +Kirengo lets go of his mother as well, giving her a nuzzle, then leans over and nuzzles Blastwave.
15[19:49] <+Kirengo> Karina has a genuine smile grow on her face as she watches Blastwave and Kiren.  "Knew it."
04[19:49] * +Blastwave nuzzles back and suddenly blushes at Karina statement, "W-what?"
07[19:50] * +Primer notes the wince. "We cremate our dead here, then spread the ashes in the huge apple orchard, I'm sure Clipped is okay with that. Not a bad way to spend time."
15[19:51] <+Kirengo> Karina smirks.  "Always knew my oldest son was gay, even though he used to try and argue with me about it all day."
15[19:51] * +Kirengo just looks down and blushes.
07[19:52] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer gulps...ashes...apple...orchard... "We...do not...know..."
07[19:52] * +Blastwave opens his mouth then shuts it. "I'm... not even going to touch that one." He's still blushing
07[19:53] * +Primer pats Moonlight reassuringly. "It's a nice place. I'll take you down there and show you both around when Clipped is on her new hooves. Lustrus will take good care of her body."
15[19:53] <+Kirengo> Karina eyes Blastwave as she goes to walk out of the room.  "If you want to stay out of perile, just never come close to going feral."
07[19:54] * +Blastwave blinks. "Alright..." that was the creepiest threat he had ever heard
15[19:54] <+Kirengo> peril*
[19:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr keeps Clipped_Cantle hooked up and where she is, before coming up to the observation room himself after discarding his scrubs in a bin presumably to be washed. The greying stallion walks up to the assembled equines, half-yelling in his seemingly typical tone, "Good news everypony! Me thinks Ah've gotten mah bestest project inna looong whale, hah! Feelin' lahk such'er waste ta have it...
[19:55] <~Zeph|GM> ...jus gether dust like tha'. Anyponeh gotta drink!? Eeh!?"
15[19:55] <+Kirengo> Karina walks out.  "And I'll clean the armor."
07[19:55] * +Primer facehoofs.
07[19:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks at Whirr "S-she's going to be o-okay...?"
15[19:56] * +Kirengo looks up as his mother walks out and gives Blastwave a nuzzle under his chin. "I'm sorry, but we need to do this alone..."
07[19:56] * +Blastwave kisses the top of his head, "I understand. Take as long as you need."
07[19:57] * +Mercury looks over to Whirr and then to Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
15[19:58] * +Kirengo smiles faintly at Blastwave. "Thanks..." and... no... not the time. He does lean in to give Blastwave a more proper kiss, though.
[19:58] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr chuckles and says to Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "Darlin', Ah's workin' on a 'peschent alive, or Ah don' get paid' besis, so she better pull though, hah! She's gonna be fahne and dandeh - ...ah think - yeah! Yeah, she gonna be all good, heh!"
07[19:58] * +Blastwave kisses him back but not for long as he had mourning to do. "It's nothing..."
15[19:59] * +Kirengo pulls back and sighs as he stands up, licking his lips. "I just realized... you taste like bacon." He shrugs slightly then moves to walk out of the room.
07[19:59] * +Primer sighs. "Equestrian Whirr, try it out sometime..."
07[20:00] * +Blastwave watches him leave and then stares at the door way. And stares. And stares.
07[20:00] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer whimpers "Oh..."
[20:00] <+Blastwave> "What is bacon?"
15[20:01] * +Kirengo meets his mother in the morgue and does things off-screen.
07[20:01] * +Mercury pats Moonlight`s_Shimmer on the side. "She's a tough mare from what I have seen."
07[20:01] * +Blastwave tries to find his way back to the observitory roomary
[20:02] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr flops a hoof back and forth, saying, "Equestran, Shmequestrian - oh!" He looks to Moonlight`s_Shimmer, pointing at her beer, before asking, "Ya gottanother? Eeh!? Savin' lives makes ya thirsteh."
07[20:03] * +Mercury looks over to Blastwave. "Where is your armor?" She shakes her head. "Anyway, Clipped is out of surgery."
07[20:04] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks through her tears, which are slowly coming to a stop, then levitates out a bottle over to Whirr. She's quiet for a moment, "...thank you."
07[20:05] * +Primer gets up. "Well, I'm going to get some work done, page me when Clipped wakes up." She walks out of the room and gets a punishment detail ready for helping Mercury recover the bodies from Shantyshod.
04[20:05] * +Blastwave arrives and looks at Mercury, "Off... her, Kiren's mother's room. Long story. It's safe." he nods, "Is she okay?"
07[20:06] * +Mercury "...It looks like she will live..."
07[20:07] * +Blastwave smiles, "Thank... uh... thank your diety of choice."
[20:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr takes the bottle and opens it, having himself a drink, before saying, "Mah pleasure, missie!" He gestures to 'Rev', who opens a door for Whirr and says, "If ya need meh, Ah'm in there - we can discuss payment wen she weekes up - she'll be back up on ...uhh... her hooves soon ...-ish! Heh!"
07[20:11] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "P-p-payment...? W-we do not have very many caps...p-lease...c-can you tell us anything we need to know to take care of her in her...n-new body?"
15[20:12] * +Kirengo walks back into the observatory room awhile later, the blood, tears, and snot off of his face. His eyes aren't quite as red anymore, either. All in all he looks... well... a lot better.
07[20:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer does not look better
[20:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr flip-flops a hoof, saying, "We'll go over all tha' pish-posh when she goes commin' to consciousness!"
04[20:13] * +Blastwave smiles over at Kirengo, "hey."
04[20:13] * +Mercury takes her helmet off and tweaks her face into a slighly sad smile. She would be damed if Moonlight`s_Shimmer was going to get shafted by this... Spotting Kirengo, the helmet goes back on.
07[20:15] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hangs her head "O-okay..."
07[20:16] * +Mercury pats Moonlight`s_Shimmer's side again. "It will be okay. I'll make sure this is fair."
15[20:17] * +Kirengo looks up at Blastwave. "Hey." He looks back over at Mercury as he walks towards Blast. "You don't really need EFS in here."
04[20:18] * +Blastwave nuzzles Kiren, "You and your mom doing alright?"
15[20:18] * +Kirengo "Yeah... she's going through and doing the same thing with my brother and sisters now..."
07[20:18] * +Blastwave "I'm glad she didn't shoot me."
04[20:19] * +Mercury looks over to Kirengo, cocking an eyebrow under her helmet. "Clipped was just attacked by a sneaky assassin with funky power hooves.”
07[20:19] * +Blastwave "Merc you should know EFS doesn't work on invisibility..."
[20:19] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr nods and takes a drink, before heading into his 'office', while his ghoul griffin bodyguard takes up position at the door after it closes.
15[20:21] * +Kirengo "Me too." He looks back over at Mercury. "There's no more of them, and even if there are, EFS won't help you."
07[20:21] * +Mercury "Oh, I know. But I like having SATS and a lot of magical metal around my head. Less likely to be pulp, you know?"
15[20:22] * +Kirengo "Not very comfortable, though." He shrugs.
04[20:22] * +Blastwave shrugs, "Let her be Kiren. Someponies prefer safety over comfort.":
15[20:24] * +Kirengo "I am."
07[20:25] * +Blastwave nods, "Just making sure." he sighs and rubs his forehead.
07[20:26] * +Mercury "I'll live." She walks back to the window and looks down to Clipped. "... Probably shouldn't tell her first thing. Ease her into it, you know. Let her get comfortable first."
07[20:28] * +Mercury reaches up to scratch where her wing would be at the sight of the operating room. Damn thing shouldn't itch any more. I was not, fucking there.
07[20:28] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues staring at Clipped_Cantle...she wanted to go in there and be with her...so bad...
15[20:34] * +Kirengo closes his eyes and puts a wing over Blastwave.
07[20:35] * +Blastwave leans against him and nuzzles, "You okay?"
07[20:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues to stare at Clipped_Cantle until she wakes up
07[20:40] * +Mercury stands next to Moonlight`s_Shimmer until the burial detail is ready.
15[20:40] * +Kirengo "I will be..."
04[20:40] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fast forward a few hours, as Mercury arranges the somewhat improvised funeral pyre, while Blastwave, Kirengo and Moonlight`s_Shimmer wait on Clipped_Cantle to awaken.
[20:40] <~Zeph|GM> 3The one-winged pegasus returns to the observation room, just as Whirr reenters the operation room in a clean doctor's coat and head-mirror-thing.
07[20:42] * +Mercury hopefully managed to get some of the ashes in a container for proper scattering.
07[20:42] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer briefly glances at Whirr, then continues looking at Clipped_Cantle
07[20:47] * +Clipped_Cantle is still unconcious?
[20:48] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr taps a few keys on the life-support crane and stares at the display for a few moments, before hitting another hoofful of keys and disconnecting the device. He monitors Clipped_Cantle as the medication keeping her out cold clears.
07[20:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and looks from Whirr to Clipped_Cantle
07[20:49] * +Mercury is willing to remove her helmet for Clipped_Cantle waking up and has it under her wing.
07[20:49] * +Blastwave notices something is going on and moves clsoer to the glass
15[20:51] * +Kirengo was totally zoned out and blinks himself back to reality when Blastwave moves away from him. "What's going on?"
07[20:52] * +Clipped_Cantle stirs a bit on the table, the movement quite jerky. Her eyes slowly blink open, and then she really jerks. "Augahauh!" She tries to recoil back, the last memory she has is that of being bucked heavily into a wall, but something was... just not right. Off... her body wasn't... it was... not moving right.
07[20:54] * +Blastwave gulps and looks at her. "Clipped!" She probably can't hear
[20:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr half-yells, in his usual manner, saying, "Oi! Keep'er steady, missie! Don' streen yerself, eeh!?"
07[20:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "Clipped!" she has tears streaming down her face as she heads for the the room to envelop her marefriend in a hug, fuck everything else
07[20:55] * +Mercury follows the bolting mare.
15[20:55] * +Kirengo blinks and follows the mares.
[20:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3The door is closed and currently not accessible from the outside.
07[20:55] * +Blastwave walks slowly behind figuring the door was, you know, locked
07[20:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's player kinda figured that, but Moon doesn't know that, so she bangs on the door with a hoof "Clipped!"
15[20:57] * +Kirengo "Moon... Moon calm down..."
07[20:57] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Whirr and looks around. "What? Where am...?" She tries to get her hooves under her, but her legs don't feel like cooperating. Her body just... what the buck? "Who... who are you? What happened?"
07[20:58] * +Blastwave "Moon, moon. You're going to scare her more, please."
07[20:58] * +Mercury is quite vexed at this. Moon should have been who Clipped_Cantle woke up to.
07[20:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stands there shaking next to the door "We are calm...we are perfectly calm...w-we need to be there for her..."
07[20:59] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is not perfectly calm
07[20:59] * +Mercury runns back to the observation room.
[20:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr helps Clipped_Cantle off the operating table, steadying her as he does so, saying, "Ya got hurt bad an was patched back up. How are ye feelin', eeh!?"
07[21:00] * +Blastwave thinks Clipped should have woken up to doctors to make sure she was alright before Moon, as Moon was going to bear hug the shit out of her
07[21:00] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer can't help the fact that she has emotions
07[21:01] * +Blastwave isn't blaming her, just if the surgery wasn't perfect moon could agitate it. Safety first."
07[21:01] * +Mercury sets her helmet down, knocks on the glass of the observation room and waves her wing.
15[21:03] * +Kirengo "Yes, that's true, and you will be there for her in just a second."
07[21:03] * +Clipped_Cantle wobbles on her hooves before just taking a seat and looking around again. Some sort of medical bay... hurt and patched up? She looks back to Whirr. "...weird. Really weird... where the buck am I, how did I get here, and who are you?"
07[21:05] * +Mercury knocks again, to try and get Clipped_Cantle's attention, figuring a friendly face would be good to see.
[21:06] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr sounds like he's said similar things on many occasions as he recites, "Stable Thirty-Two's main medical installation. The door. Whirr, pleesedtammetcha!" He points up to the window to the observation room, continuing, "Yer friends are up 'ere. Ah just need to do a few checks now before ya can go see 'em and then some more tammarrah."
04[21:07] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks at Kirengo and yells at him "So you're telling us that if Blastwave were in there you would not try to get to him?!" she shakes visibly for a few moments then lays on the floor, curling up and crying "S-sorry..."
07[21:08] * +Mercury uses her helmet comms. "She is calmed and looking at the window. I think it would be good for Clipped to see Moon."
07[21:10] * +Mercury facewings, remembering that everyone else took off their armor. She holds up one feather and dashes off.
07[21:10] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at the window when Whirr points and spots Mercury. She waves a hoof clumsily, then tenses and turns back to Whirr. "Alright, but can we make it quick? Moon's probably freaking out... wherever she is... how bad was I hurt?"
07[21:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is freaking out yo
07[21:10] * +Blastwave is not sure what to say to Moon. "Moon, she's alright. You saw her. It'll just be a little longer..."
15[21:11] * +Kirengo isn't quite sure what to do... so he leans down and puts a hoof on Moon. "No... I'm just telling you what I think I'd want to hear."
15[21:11] * +Kirengo "Still true, though."
07[21:11] * +Blastwave has no experience calming giant mares with untold magical powers
07[21:12] * +Blastwave is a one trick pony. he only knows how to explode things (if you know what I mean)
07[21:12] * +Mercury zips down to the others. "She is awake and cogent. We should probably go to the observation room so she can at least see us."
04[21:12] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks up at Kirengo and Blastwave "W-we...need her..."
07[21:13] * +Blastwave nods, "Y-yes... to the observation room, you can see her there."
15[21:13] * +Kirengo "Yes... I know the feeling." He tries to help Moon up.
04[21:14] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffles and then gets up with the help of Kirengo, wiping her eyes a bit "O-okay..."
15[21:14] * +Kirengo "C'mon..." He leads Moon back to the observation room.
[21:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr makes a so-so gesture as he uses a bulky tool to measure various stats and vitals on Clipped_Cantle, saying, "Perty bad, Ah gottasay - ....aaaand done." He sets the device aside and says, "Yer free ta move about tha ...uhh ...town, Ah guess we calls it and ya'll come back tamarrah fer propah checkups on how yer doin'."
07[21:15] * +Clipped_Cantle furrows her brow. "Must've been out for days then... explains why I'm so damn hungry."
04[21:15] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Kirengo back to the observation room, then sits down in front of the glass and stares at Clipped_Cantle longingly
[21:15] <+Clipped_Cantle> +
[21:18] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr trots over to the operation room door, opening it and explaining simply, "Stomach damage. Ya'll been only out fer about say... eeh, ten hours, 'er so, heh!" He opens the door and says, "Ah'll go over specifics with ya once ya'll properly wakin' up an all, right?"
07[21:20] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at Whirr, but heads for the door. "Ten hours? Couldn't have been that bad if I was only out for ten hours..." She wobbles a little as she trots, frowning. "Hell, other than this... I dunno... weird feeling I feel fine. Doesn't hurt or anything."
15[21:21] * +Kirengo "Okay, no go meet her at the door."
07[21:22] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer runs to the door to envelop Clipped_Cantle in a hug "Clipped! We were so worried..."
07[21:22] * +Mercury steps asside as Moonlight`s_Shimmer zips by.
[21:22] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr nods, saying, "Ya'll got a bit in the ways of cybern-," before being cut off by Moonlight`s_Shimmer and adjusting his head-mirror-thing-y-ma-jigg.
07[21:23] * +Clipped_Cantle oofs as she's hugged and chuckles, hugging the mare back. "I'm alright... sorry I ma-" She stops and blinks, then looks over at Whirr. "Wait, what? Cyber...netics?"
15[21:24] * +Kirengo follows Moon back out and stands... a reasonably reasonable distance away from Clipped and Moon.
04[21:24] * +Blastwave stands reasonably close to Kiren's reasonably reasonable distance
07[21:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hugs Clipped_Cantle tight and nuzzles her furiously, showering her face with kisses between nuzzles
07[21:25] * +Mercury follows Moonlight`s_Shimmer in. So much for easing her into being a brain in a jar.
[21:25] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr nods at Clipped_Cantle, "Yeah, cybermajiggs, hah! Ya get hit hard an' Ah had ta replace some stuff Ah couldn't save - iss why yer so hungry."
15[21:26] * +Kirengo "It's like your jaw... except a some of your insides instead."
07[21:27] * +Blastwave "And your genitals." He pauses. "Okay, that was a lie, and insensitve, i'm sorry."
07[21:27] * +Mercury facewings.
15[21:28] * +Kirengo "Your vagina is completely intact." Yay for attempts to return to normalcy?
04[21:28] * +Blastwave "Thank you Dr. Kirengo for that clarification."
04[21:28] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and closes her eyes as she's kissed. "Oh..." She sighs, then looks over at Whirr. "What... er... what'd you... repl-" She stops and blinks, then looks over to Blastwave and Kirengo, blushing hard... too bad it's blue instead of red.
07[21:29] * +Mercury looks over to them with an expression of 'please stop saying things'.
07[21:29] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer doesn't acknoweledge anyone except Clipped_Cantle, and just continues to snuggle and kiss her marefriend
15[21:29] * +Kirengo returns Mercury's look with his own 'I'm helping' look.
07[21:31] * +Clipped_Cantle manages a small chuckle and kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer on the cheek, still blushing. "Never saying those words again... sorry, Moon."
07[21:32] * +Mercury just facewings again.
07[21:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer just holds Clipped_Cantle "Ssshhh...you are okay now...we are here for you...it is not your fault..."
07[21:33] * +Blastwave doesn't think he's helping, he just couldn't help himself
[21:34] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr chuckles and turns to the group, saying, "Ah'll see ya'll tamarrah - er at the bar! Hah!" He steps out of the room and says, "Tak'er easy, arrite? Heh!?"
07[21:36] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and leans into Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "I know... what happened, anyway?" She looks at Whirr and blinks. "Uh... is there anything I should know about the... things...? Like... do I need.... things? Or... anything I should stay away from...?"
07[21:37] * +Blastwave "Clipped, he'll tell you tomorrow. Just take it easy tonight."
15[21:37] * +Kirengo gives Whirr half a glance. So they were staying here until tomorrow at least. Lovely. Some time at a second home away from home. "The zebra that was hunting Rangers hit you. Then he hit Aunt Primer. Then she shot him, I tackled him, Blast shot him, and... uh... he's dead now."
07[21:37] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer wraps her wings around Clipped_Cantle and holds her close to her body
04[21:38] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Blastwave. "And if I buck something up tonight because I don't know?" She looks at Kirengo. "Zebra? He's dead?" She hmms. "Wonder why he was hunting Rangers, anyway..."
[21:39] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr adjusts his coat and says, "Fer now, ya gotta eat a whole bunch an' unless ya do something that ya shouldn't be doin' anyway, ya'll be just dandy. Ah'll give ya a more comprehensive ovahview leeter, kay?" He points to Blastwave, saying, "An' Ah 'gree wiff him agreein' wiff me 'bout takin' it easy. Mhmm!"
15[21:39] * +Kirengo shrugs. "He was a zebra... he probably had a good enough reason to be killing Steel Rangers."
07[21:40] * +Blastwave "Must have been colour blind..."
15[21:40] * +Kirengo "Or a moron. I'm going with moron."
07[21:40] * +Clipped_Cantle nods to Whirr. "Er... alright... see you tomorrow then... and thanks." She leans into Moonlight`s_Shimmer and nuzzles the mare's chest.
04[21:41] * +Mercury gives Kirengo a sidelong glance and then just shakes her head. She looks over to Clipped_Cantle. "I'm glad you're okay."
07[21:41] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle's neck and holds her "Do you need anything Clipped?"
[21:41] <~Zeph|GM> 3Whirr makes sure Clipped_Cantle isn't looking, before giving each member of the group a 'don't tell her' look, adding an implied 'yet', before heading towards the cafeteria.
07[21:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer doesn't notice Whirr because she's focused on Clipped_Cantle
[21:44] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Could use something to eat... I'm bucking... starving." Sort of... that's what it felt like, but it seemed off... just like the rest of her.

15[21:45] * +Kirengo "Here... Clipped... let's go get food."
07[21:45] * +Blastwave nods, "Yeah."
07[21:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer unwraps Clipped_Cantle from her hugs and presses herself against Clipped, leaving a wing draped over her, she reaches down and nuzzles Clipped's cheek
07[21:48] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer's chest and nods. "Yeah... guess my stomach is something he replaced. Said it was damaged..." She sighs. "Still... he makes it sound like I was real bad off, but it hasn't been that long. I mean, how bad was I? Really?"
15[21:50] * +Kirengo "Um... almost as bad off as he was after I was done with him..."
07[21:50] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped "You were not...well...y-you would have died Clipped..." tears are starting to come back to her eyes
15[21:50] * +Kirengo "Except all your insides were still... inside."
04[21:52] * +Clipped_Cantle raises an eyebrow at Kirengo. "That... sounds... really, really ba-" She stops and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Hey... but I didn't, right?"
[21:53] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Still begs the question of how the buck I'm moving around already, though..."
15[21:53] * +Kirengo pulls out one of the displacer hooves. "He used one of these to buck you into a wall... You left a body-sized dent in concrete. I'm... I'm pretty sure you're just straight up unkillable..."
04[21:55] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Kirengo. "What? You're fucking with me, right? Dented concrete?"
07[21:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods a little and just lays her head across Clipped_Cantle's neck "No..." but there was nothing we could've done to help you...she nods at Clipped when she says she dented concrete "Yes..."
13[21:55] * ~Zeph|GM ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
15[21:56] * +Kirengo "You really did..." He puts the hoof back and pulls out the stealth cloak. "He was using this to get around."
04[21:58] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head and leans into Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Buck me... glad I had my armor on then. Force like that would've painted the walls with me without it..." She looks at Kirengo. "A cloak?"
15[21:59] * +Kirengo wraps the cloak around his neck, clasps it, then flips the hood up and disappears from view.
07[21:59] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and jerks upright. "Whoa!"
15[22:00] * +Kirengo quietly moves over a bit in order to demonstrate it's capabilities before sitting down and speaking again. "Takes the wearer off of EFS, too."
07[22:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer headtilts "It is not that impressive..." she leans down to nuzzle Clipped_Cantle's other cheek...the one that /used/ to have the lightning scar
04[22:01] * +Clipped_Cantle 's head snaps over to Kirengo's new position. "Damn nice piece of equipment to have, then." She nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and chuckles. "It is when we can't just make ourselves invisible with magic, Moon."
07[22:03] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer lets out a somewhat happy sigh "If you say so..." she's just glad to have her marefriend here...alive
15[22:03] * +Kirengo flips the hood back and reappears. "It was mostly luck that we caught him."
04[22:04] * +Clipped_Cantle nods to Kirengo. "I bet... what're those other things he had?"
15[22:05] * +Kirengo tilts his head slightly. "They're... weapons that... push you back when you're kicked by them. Hard. And far."
04[22:08] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head, then nods. "I've been thinking, Kiren... and... well, I was wondering if you'd show me some hoof to hoof stuff. Keep getting caught with things in my face... and now this..."
15[22:10] * +Kirengo blinks. "I uh... I can do that, yeah, if you want."
07[22:11] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kisses the top of Clipped_Cantle's head then nuzzles her again "W-we...were actually wondering something similar Clipped...we wanted to know if you could teach us how to heal."
[22:12] <+Clipped_Cantle> "I... do. Been thinking about it since the Scumbuckets attacked." She blinks and looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Sure, yeah."
07[22:12] * +Mercury follows and lets them talk.
15[22:12] * +Kirengo hadn't actually started walking anywhere yet.
07[22:13] * +Mercury hadn't even Rped out of the operating room yet, so that is where she follows from.
15[22:14] <+Kirengo> Fine then.  Be that way.
07[22:14] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles. "Might want to ask that other doctor, though. How the buck he got me on my hooves so fast... hell, even with my armor on..." She furrows her brow in thought.
07[22:15] * +Mercury "He had a lot of fancy tech and magic to help him, you can talk it over with him when you see him. Though he could only do what he did because Miin got you to him so fast."
15[22:15] <+Kirengo> Moon*
07[22:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "He...we are not sure if...we should explain..."
15[22:16] * +Kirengo nods. "What she said. So... you were hungry, right?
15[22:16] <+Kirengo> "
07[22:17] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Mercury and nods. "Yeah, if he used cybernetics... pretty much the definition of 'fancy tech'." She looks at Moon and smiles. "Yeah? Well, thanks for that Moon. Rea-" She stops. "Explain...what?"
07[22:20] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shudders "We...watched him...do things...h-he decapitated y-you...p-put your h-head and spine in a d-different body...y-you are now m-mostly sy-synthetic Clipped..."
07[22:21] * +Mercury "A few boons. He fixed your jaw, and removed that scar... Oh, Luna, help us..." She facewings and rushes up next to Clipped_Cantle.
07[22:22] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, freezing up a bit. "...what? You're... you're... I... decapitated...?"
15[22:22] * +Kirengo gets up and walks towards Clipped, mentally facehoofing very hard. "Everything important is still real. Even the synthetic parts are you, too."
15[22:22] <+Kirengo> is still flesh*
07[22:22] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer wraps her wings around Clipped_Cantle and holds her tight "Y-y-yes..."
07[22:24] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes. "W-what...? T-this isn't... it's not funny, guys... this joke's too far..."
07[22:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle tight to her chest with her wings and her forelegs "I-it is...n-not...w-we...Clipped..."
07[22:25] * +Mercury steps next to them and takes off her helmet.
15[22:26] * +Kirengo moves a bit closer. "Hey... hey hey Clipped. You remember the past two weeks, right?"
04[22:29] * +Clipped_Cantle looks over at Kirengo, almost expressionless. She was... pretty numb right now. "T-two... weeks... yeah. I... r-rememb... remember..." She looks down at he- a hoof that... belonged to her. Wasn't hers, though... and... that explained why she... why everything felt so off...
07[22:30] * +Mercury looks at Clipped_Cantle sympathetically.
15[22:31] * +Kirengo points between himself and Blastwave. "You remember how we make you two blush," he points at Moon, "and how much you love her and are sickeningly sappy together?"
07[22:31] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle's cheek and tries to press as much of herself against Clipped_Cantle as ponily possible "Clipped...w-we...are s-sorry..."
04[22:33] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs at Kirengo and nods. "I do... what's your point...?" She shifts a little in Moonlight`s_Shimmer's grasp, pulling away from the mare slightly.
07[22:34] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer murmers and silent tears start to run down her cheeks "C-clipped..."
15[22:34] * +Kirengo winces slightly. "My point is none of that's changed. Part of your body's different... sure... but everything else is the same."
04[22:37] * +Clipped_Cantle deadpans at Kirengo. "Part? /Part/? Fuck, Kirengo... the only thing that's the same is my damn head!" She narrows her eyes. "Or was that crack about my vagina more than just a joke?" She looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, her expression softening a bit, and she stops pulling away from the mare. She doesn't lean back into her, though.
07[22:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer whimpers and doesn't know what to say, so she says one of the only thing she's currently thinking about "C-clipped...we love y-you..."
15[22:40] * +Kirengo winces again and his ears droop back. "Head and vagina... maybe plot..."
04[22:42] * +Mercury whispers to Kirengo. "How about we let Moon handle this?"
07[22:43] * +Clipped_Cantle 's ears droop and she slumps. "You love... loved... I'm not..." She sobs. "Fuck... what am I?"
15[22:45] * +Kirengo looks at Mercury. "Just trying to help..."
07[22:46] * +Mercury "Please. We can help with moral support and encouragement, but lets allow the mare she loves to make the points."
07[22:46] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle to her chest and sobs with her "You are Clipped_Cantle, our marefriend, and you always will be..."
04[22:46] * +Blastwave tugs on Kirengo, "Uh, dear. That's enough for now." He wishpers. "It'll help when she's not having a panic attack, but now is not the time."
[22:47] <+Blastwave> whispers*
15[22:48] * +Kirengo looks between the pegasi. "F-fine... Just thought... cause Primer..."
07[22:50] * +Blastwave whispers, "Give her time, might work later but when people are emotional logic doesn't work. let her calm down, give her a few days or a week."
07[22:51] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head against Moonlight`s_Shimmer's chest. "I'm a fucking machine with Clipped's head and nethers... that's... I'm not... What...? Everything feels... off... it's different... they aren't mine... it's not me... n-not me..."
07[22:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle tight "It /is/ you! How could it not be?! Y-you...have your voice...a-and your thoughts...i-is it no different th-then h-how your j-jaw was?"
07[22:55] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and touches a hoof to her jaw... which was different too. She just breaks down and cries.
15[22:55] * +Kirengo sighs. "So what now?"
07[22:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle to her chest and cries with her, because she doesn't know what else to do...
07[22:56] * +Blastwave looks down. "Let them cry. Be there for her when she needs to talk. Confirm who she is if she every questions?"
07[22:57] * +Mercury nods.
15[22:58] * +Kirengo lowers his ears a bit farther. In other words what the ghoul had done for him earlier...
07[22:59] * +Blastwave was trying to make that connection yes. He nuzzles the buck and then moves a bit back to give Moon and Clipped some space
15[23:00] * +Kirengo swallows after the nuzzle. "I'll just... go get food I guess. You guys want anything?"
04[23:00] * +Mercury moves back as well, but also gives Blastwave and Kirengo space, putting her helmet back on.
07[23:00] * +Clipped_Cantle tries to pull away from Moonlight`s_Shimmer, still crying hard. "Th-there's nothing... I-I-I..." A sob wracks her body. "T-this... oh Celestia... why?"
07[23:02] * +Blastwave "Just a water, dear." he looks at them. "Get Clipped some food too..."
15[23:02] * +Kirengo "That's the whole reason I was going."
07[23:02] * +Blastwave beats, "I know that..."
[23:02] <+Blastwave> knew*
07[23:04] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle and sobs "C-clipped...y-you were d-dying...a-and...w-we didn't know th...that t-this would b-be the o-only way t-to s-s-save you...p-please...w-we cannot bear to see you l-like this..."
15[23:06] * +Kirengo is waiting for Mercury to reply.
04[23:07] * +Mercury looks to Kirengo, realizing he was talking to her as well. "I don't have any money."
07[23:07] * +Clipped_Cantle sobs. She didn't want to be like this either, didn't want to feel like... she suddenly stops crying and blinks, clearly confused.
15[23:07] * +Kirengo blinks at Mercury. "Your point?"
07[23:08] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sniffles and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle when she stops crying and blinks "C-c-clipped?"
07[23:09] * +Clipped_Cantle stares at nothing for a long moment, not responding to Moonlight`s_Shimmer's nuzzle at all. She whispers. "I... I'm... I can't feel..." Her eyes go wide. "I can't feel sad... I can't... it's gone... what...?"
07[23:11] * +Mercury "I can't pay you back for my meal..." She chuckles. "Unless they take Enclave ration chips."
07[23:12] * +Blastwave "He's offering Merc, just tell him what you want." he chuckles
07[23:12] * +Mercury "Oh? Well... what is avalable?"
15[23:13] * +Kirengo just facehoofs a couple of times. "There's food. There's even the fresh stuff if you want it."
07[23:14] * +Clipped_Cantle doesn't do anything in those last two posts because her player's a derp. Instead she keeps on crying. "I... I... get that... would've... the force... to dent concrete it..." She sniffles and dries up her tears, wiping them away from her eyes. At least that was still there... "But... I... did you...?"
07[23:16] * +Mercury "Um... mashed potatos with vegi gravy, some bread and a soda if they have it. Thanks."
07[23:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "D-did we what Clipped..?"
[23:17] <+Clipped_Cantle> "...save... Clipped..."
15[23:18] * +Kirengo blankfaces at Mercury. "So an apple." He gets up. "Uh... Moon... Clipped... be right back with food..." He then heads in the direction of the merchant's quarter.
07[23:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle "Y-yes...you are alright...y-you are safe...w-we r-r-ran you here a-as fast as we could t-to save y-you..."
07[23:20] * +Blastwave looks over at Mercury and tries to be as serious looking as he can without laughing. It's very difficult
07[23:20] * +Mercury blinks in confusion and looks to Blastwave. "Huh?"
07[23:21] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "It's... it's not... me... anymore. Not most of me... I'm... am I even still... a pony?"
07[23:21] * +Blastwave "You... ordered an apple." He smirks a little bit more.
07[23:23] * +Mercury "Huh... And here I thought he spoke Equestrian." She walks over to Blastwave and sits down.
07[23:23] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer runs a wing across Clipped_Cantle's now not lightning scarred cheek "Yes...you are...you are our marefriend...you are a mare...a mare is a pony...and we love y-you..."
07[23:24] * +Blastwave just cracks out laughing. "That's racist and funny." he eventually calms himself because drama going on. "You just asked for a ridicliously complicated thing."
07[23:24] * +Blastwave "For a given nature of complicated considering it's the wasteland and most food is one word. Unless it's prefaced by 'burnt'"
07[23:26] * +Mercury nods to Blastwave. "Exactly why I asked." She shrugs. "Oh well. As long as it isn't glowing, I like apples."
15[23:26] * +Kirengo comes back a few minutes later with an apple and a cola for Mercury, an irradiated water for Blast, an apple for himself, two for Clipped, and one for Moon. He's also conspicuously lacking his hoof weapons which he did have on when he left. At least the apples are fresh and juicy. Well... grown by UV light, but the freshest things you're going to get in the wasteland. He just sets the apples down for the two marefriends and waits until they're ready before he gives them to them.
07[23:26] * +Mercury snickers a little, taking her helmet off. "Or if it is burnt."
07[23:26] * +Blastwave "Doesn't look burnt." he sips the water, "Ah radiation, goes down smooth."
04[23:28] * +Mercury looks to Kirengo. "Thank you." She picks up an apple with her wing.
15[23:28] * +Kirengo grumbles a little as he takes out and steps back into his hoof weapons. "Yeah... no problem." He picks up his apple and bites into it.
04[23:29] * +Blastwave blinks at Kirengo, "Something wrong?"
04[23:30] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and slowly nods. "I... love you too, Moon." And she did. That didn't feel off... hadn't felt off earlier, either. It felt the same when she laughed, too... and... Kirengo was right. She looks over at the buck as he returns. "And I still... remember... but..." She sighs and looks at the floor, then snarls at one of 'her' hooves. "I don't even know what he changed!...
07[23:30] * +Clipped_Cantle ...Some things feel so off... I can't..." She groans. "I just... I want /my/ body back..."
15[23:31] * +Kirengo shrugs. "I just don't like going in there because of the magic that forces me to these things off."
[23:31] <+Clipped_Cantle> to take*
07[23:31] * +Blastwave blinks. then blinks again. "Uh, huh?"
15[23:32] * +Kirengo sighs. "Pascification talisman. No anger... no aggression... no weapons." He looks back over at Clipped.
07[23:32] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle again "We...do not...think that is...possible...h-he...threw it out..." she shudders "S-said i-it would end up like the rest of the bodies that d-die in the stable..."
07[23:32] * +Blastwave "That could have been useful on the front lines of the great war..."
07[23:33] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Threw it... what? What do you... mean?"
07[23:33] * +Mercury walks up to Clipped_Cantle. "You are going to be okay. This will just take some... getting used to. It will start feeling more natural in time. Trust me."
07[23:35] * +Clipped_Cantle turns to frown at Mercury. "How can you possibly know that?"
15[23:35] * +Kirengo "Mostly just annoying here..." He blinks as Mercury walks up. "What happened to letting Moon make the points?"
04[23:36] * +Blastwave "Yeah I could see how-" he pauses when merc walks over and Kiren confronts her. "Not... touching that."
15[23:36] * +Kirengo wasn't confrotong Mercury. He was gossiping with Blast.
15[23:36] <+Kirengo> confronting*
07[23:37] * +Mercury flexes her stump. "Just giving a bit of support." She backs off again.
07[23:39] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "He...said that when somebody in the stable dies, they recycle their body...turn them to ash, t-then the ashes are spread across the apple orchards...t-to help the apples grow w-we think..."
07[23:39] * +Blastwave misread
07[23:40] * +Blastwave is a derp, "Maybe she forgot?"
15[23:40] * +Kirengo clears his throat. "Clipped... I can know that."
04[23:43] * +Clipped_Cantle 's frown melts away and she nods to Mercury. "Right... your wing... sorry. Just... I'm no-" She stops and turns back to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "W-what? Incinerate?!? /My/ body? He has no ri-" She stops and faces Kirengo. "How? I don't-" She stops and bites her lip, closing her eyes, and groans. "Ugh... Sorry... you're just... all trying to help... I know... sorry..."
07[23:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle tight to her chest "We are...so sorry Clipped...we know it must be hard..."
07[23:44] * +Blastwave doesn't think getting incinerated was that bad. He for one had fun in that balefire. It was so pretty and green
07[23:44] * +Clipped_Cantle is just upset she wasn't asked. She would've said yes.
15[23:44] * +Kirengo "Well... -I- don't know... but Aunt Primer's been a... a uh..." he stops and thinks for a moment. "cybernetically enhanced pony for... well since long before I was born. She'll want to talk to you and I think you should talk to her..."
04[23:47] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and leans into Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "I don't think you do..." She blinks and turns to look at Kirengo. "I... don't... I'm not sure I want to..."
15[23:48] * +Kirengo "She got shot by... heh... Enclave power armor and had to have her organs and skin replaced in order to save her life."
07[23:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles her way from Clipped_Cantle's side to her cheek "You do...whatever you want to do Clipped...because you are Clipped_Cantle...and nopony...or thing...can ever change that."
04[23:51] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes. "I... I see, Kirengo..." She probably knew how this felt then... it'd be... good to talk to her. All this sympathy from everyone else felt... hollow. Sort of. Not really... she knew they cared, it wasn't that. It's just... they didn't /really/ understand. Primer... would. "A-alright... I'll... I'll talk to her."
07[23:52] * +Blastwave could understand a little being all ghoulified.
15[23:53] * +Kirengo "Actually none of her cybernetics were voluntary... But yeah, I think it'll help. Um... Apple?"
07[23:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "Clipped...when we were..." she looks over herself "...different...we did not expect this to happen to us...but...we've ended up liking the change...t-to be honest...m-maybe...you might like this change? We...are sorry...we do not know...what it's like...exactly..."
04[23:55] * +Clipped_Cantle nods to Kirengo, mouth watering. "Please... I'm so hungry..." She blinks and turns to look at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "...different?"
07[23:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods "W-we were not always an alicorn..."
15[23:56] * +Kirengo picks up all three apples, lays one down next to Moon and hoofs the other two to Clipped.
04[23:57] * +Clipped_Cantle stares at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "What? How does that work?" She takes the apples from Kirengo and bites into it, chewing ravenously. "Thunksh."
[23:57] <+Clipped_Cantle> into one*
07[23:59] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer pushes her apple over to Clipped_Cantle "We...did we tell you about the vats? W-we were dipped in them...that is how we became what we are now."
Session Time: Sun Sep 02 00:00:00 2012
07[00:01] * +Mercury takes a bite of her apple... She does not make a face, but notes that skyfarmed was better than UV.
07[00:02] * +Clipped_Cantle waves Moonlight`s_Shimmer's apple away with a hoof. "You need to eat too, Moon... and no... vats? Dipped? I..." She blinks. "Oh..." Moon... did understand, at least some. "I'm sorry... you... I'm being selfish again..."
15[00:02] * +Kirengo "No problem..." He winces a little as the story starts... not sure how much because I don't know whether or not Group 7 ever figures out exactly how alicorns are made... He returns back to Blastwave's side and totally looks like he's not in a 'I'mma 'bout to stomp somebodies' mood. >.> I'm tired don't judge me.
07[00:03] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head "No...you are being perfectly fine..." she hugs Clipped_Cantle to her chest with her forelegs and wings and nuzzles her
04[00:03] * +Blastwave reads Mercury's mind and rolls his eyes internally. "Hey Kiren." He goes all nuzzly. He actually did have a rudimentary knowledge of how alicorns were created. Yay be-breifs."
07[00:04] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back... then chuckles. "It's kind of... funny. I used to... always say that the body was nothing but a complex machine..." She starts laughing harder, but after the first few her laughter sticks in her throat.
15[00:05] * +Kirengo blinks. "Uh, hey." He returns the ghouly nuzzles that smelled of bacon.
07[00:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kisses Clipped_Cantle's nose and begins to massage her side with a wing "SSssssshhhh..."
07[00:06] * +Blastwave "Uh, I have a question."
15[00:07] * +Kirengo "What?"
07[00:07] * +Blastwave "What... is bacon?"
07[00:07] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and clears her throat, then sighs. She takes another bite of her apple and leans against Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
15[00:07] * +Kirengo blinks... blinks again... then bursts into a small gigglefit.
04[00:08] * +Blastwave stares at Kirengo very seriously, "W-what! Seriously!"
07[00:09] * +Mercury shrugs and stays off to the side.
15[00:09] * +Kirengo smiles as his giggles die down. "It's... it's bacon. Radhog meat. Maybe it's the constant baths or something... but it's what you smell and taste like."
07[00:10] * +Blastwave makes a face, "Whats a radhog, and why eat it? Why do I smell like a pig!" He is so confuse
07[00:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer reluctantly levitates up her apple and takes a bite of it, wanting Clipped to have it more than her because she knew she must be extremely hungry, she begins to run her magic through Clipped's mane, closing her eyes and reaching down to nuzzle her again, overall, being just happy that she's /alive/...
15[00:11] * +Kirengo smirks. "It's a mutated up pig and because it's delicious."
07[00:12] * +Blastwave blinks and nods, "Huzzah! I have acheived deliciousness!"
15[00:12] * +Kirengo snerks and shakes his head.
04[00:12] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer again and sighs before popping the rest of the apple in her mouth. She opens her eyes and looks over at Kirengo, Blastwave, and Mercury.
15[00:12] * +Kirengo looks back at Clipped_Cantle.
07[00:12] * +Blastwave waves
07[00:13] * +Mercury looks up to Clipped_Cantle, pushing her glasses up with a feather.
07[00:15] * +Clipped_Cantle swallows the rest of her apple and looks between them, obviously a little nervous. "I'm... sorry. For snapping and... all that..."
15[00:16] * +Kirengo shakes his head. "It's been a bad day... you're not the first."
07[00:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head and kisses Clipped_Cantle behind the ear "You have nothing to be sorry for..."
07[00:16] * +Blastwave "At least you didn't try to eat anypony when you snapped."
07[00:16] * +Mercury "No worries. We all go off under stress."
07[00:18] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and nods. "Thanks... I just..." She sighs. "Never mind. Just thanks." She looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and manages a small smile.
07[00:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles back, "You're more than welcome." she then moves to kiss Clipped_Cantle
15[00:19] * +Kirengo "So uh... you wanna walk around or rest for a bit?"
07[00:20] * +Blastwave shrugs, "I don't get tired, so it doesn't matter to me."
07[00:23] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and pulls back from the kiss, her eyes darting side to side. "Er... I uh..." She gulps and licks her lips. "Moon... I just... oh buck it." She leans forward to meet her marefriend's kiss.
15[00:23] * +Kirengo looks as Clipped and Moon do their thing. "Is that my answer?"
15[00:23] * +Kirengo asks that to anyone who is listening.
07[00:24] * +Blastwave "Uh, hum..."
07[00:25] * +Mercury shrugs.
07[00:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks but then smiles as she kisses Clipped_Cantle, wrapping her wings around Clipped's neck and taking great comfort in feeling her lips pressed against Clipped's when not to long ago she might've died...
04[00:27] * +Mercury looks over to Blastwave and Kirengo, then back to the embracing mares.
15[00:28] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave and Mercury. "I'm thinking we should guide them to a room and leave them be..."
07[00:28] * +Blastwave nods, "I agree."
04[00:28] * +Clipped_Cantle pulls back from the kiss after a very short time and looks away. "Uh... I just..." She looks at Kirengo and shrugs. "I'm.... I don't know..."
04[00:29] * +Mercury nods to Kirengo. "You will need to lead the way."
07[00:29] * +Blastwave "it doesn't have to be for sex, just like, I'm happy you're not dead snuggles. Those are the best."
15[00:30] * +Kirengo just can't win today. "Clipped, do you want to rest or do you want to walk? Sleep and snuggle or learning to walk practice..."
07[00:30] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer chuckles a little bit then noses Clipped_Cantle's neck "We...will do what Clipped wants..."
07[00:32] * +Blastwave finishes his water
07[00:32] * +Clipped_Cantle gulps and takes a deep breath, blushing a faint blue at Blastwave's words. "I uh... practice walking." She didn't really want to sleep right now, and was a little bit afraid of being intimate with Moon beyond a hug and basic physical contact.
15[00:34] * +Kirengo nods. "Okay... we can take the long way around... head by Security then down to Maintenance, maybe see the orchard, then loop back around through the merchants quarter before ending up at residential..."
07[00:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle again "We will do our best to support you Clipped..."
07[00:35] * +Blastwave nods, "Yeah, it'll be fun."
07[00:36] * +Mercury finishes her apple and puts her helmet back on, saving her soda for later.
04[00:38] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Ok, Kirengo... uh... lead the way, I guess." She nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back, but shakes her head. "I... need to do this myself... Need to... get... used to this. There's no way I'd... be able to help any of you... if you got hurt right now..."
15[00:40] * +Kirengo "Uh, alright then." He waits for Clipped to get up to her hooves then proceeds to lead the way.
07[00:41] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods slowly "Of course Clipped...do you want us to wait for you...we could walk with you..."
07[00:42] * +Mercury follows, looking from side to side at the corridors. It kind of reminded her of a raptor.
04[00:43] * +Clipped_Cantle wobbles her way to her hooves and sighs. She starts trotting behind Kirengo, but she can't seem to get the rhythm of her steps quite and that makes her kind of meander as she moves. She looks back at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Come with me, please... just... let me..." She frowns and looks down at her hooves. "...trot on my own four hooves... if they'll work right."
07[00:43] * +Blastwave figured they'd all be going together, "Yeah, i thought we were all going. Support, yay."
07[00:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer moves beside Clipped_Cantle to support her if she needs it "Lean on us if you need to Clipped, we will help you the best we can."
15[00:45] * +Kirengo keeps a relatively slow pace as he trots out of the Clinic and past Security, finally making it past maintenance. He opens the door that leads to the orchard, stops, and blinks. "Oh... right..." The door leads to stairs which lead to the orchard.
04[00:46] * +Blastwave follows after Kirengo. "Lovely stable"
04[00:46] * +Clipped_Cantle grumbles at her hooves, then closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. Calm down... don't... let it get to you again. She follows Kirengo, her brow furrowing more with each misstep.
07[00:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stands beside Clipped_Cantle as she walks, supporting her every way she can
15[00:48] * +Kirengo looks back at Clipped_Cantle as she catches up. "Hey... you're doing great. Remember how long it took us to walk in power armor? Beating that by a mile... Uh... you think you can master stairs?"
04[00:50] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Kirengo. "That was rough... this is actually harder, but..." She shrugs. "No idea... I'll try it, though. Going to have to do it eventually..."
15[00:51] * +Kirengo "Okay..." He trots up the stairs and opens the door to the orchard. Those at the bottom of the stairs can see the tops of leafy green trees and bright UV lights.
07[00:51] * +Blastwave follows him down but gives plenty of room for Clipped
07[00:52] * +Mercury walks next to Blastwave, ready to catch Clipped_Cantle in case of a misstep.
07[00:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle, ready to help her if need be
04[00:54] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at the ponies around her and can't help but smile a little as she places a forehoof on the first step. She was just glad they weren't shunning her. She wobbles her way up the steps, moving very slowly and carefully, and by the time she reaches where Kirengo is she's frowning heavily again. "So slow... this is... ugh."
15[00:57] * +Kirengo raises an eyebrow at Clipped_Cantle. "Slow? You just walked up stairs when twelve hours ago you were... uh... half an inch from death. Besides, look at the reward." He steps out of the way to reveal... well a massive fully grown apple orchard to Clipped and everyone else.
07[00:57] * +Blastwave smiles, "Impressive."
07[00:58] * +Mercury walks in and looks arround. "Impressive." She looks to Blastwave with a giggle. "SAB."
07[00:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer trails a wingtip down Clipped_Cantle's back "You will be able to walk better in no time at all Clipped..." she stares out at the apple orchard
07[00:58] * +Blastwave blinks, "SAB?'
04[00:59] * +Clipped_Cantle grumbles at Kirengo. "And thirteen hours ago I could gallop full out... now I'm struggling on stairs..." She sighs, then blinks as the buck steps aside. "Whoa..."
07[01:00] * +Mercury "Sorry. Share A Brain."
15[01:01] * +Kirengo "Yeah, but I'd prefer struggling up stairs to dead. Anyway... yeah... this is the orchard. Apparently this is what the rest of the land is supposed to look like."
07[01:01] * +Blastwave "Woah. Must be an enclave thing." he looks over the orchard. "If only."
04[01:04] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Kirengo. "Yeah... that's true... I should... I'll get back up there again..." She tilts her head and takes a deep breath of the orchard air. "It's nice, Kiren... very nice... wish the wastes /did/ look like this. Smell like this..." She bites into her second apple. "Tashte like dis..."
15[01:06] * +Kirengo nods. "Yeah... maybe with the clouds gone it'll start to come back to this... He walks through the orchard, leading them to another maintenance door that dumps them back outside of the merchants quarter.
07[01:07] * +Blastwave frowns a little, "A slightly dissapoitning transition."
07[01:07] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer chuckles and remembers to finish off the rest of her apple as Clipped_Cantle bites into hers. She continues to stay beside Clipped as she walks "We think it would be very nice..."
15[01:07] * +Kirengo looks back at Blastwave. "Huh?"
04[01:08] * +Clipped_Cantle finishes off her apple, then follows Kirengo, still meandering quite a bit but getting a tiny be better.
07[01:09] * +Blastwave "Going from the Orchard to not orchard..."
04[01:10] * +Mercury follows Kirengo. "You said something about this part of the Stable before. What was it?"
15[01:11] * +Kirengo "Oh." He walks back out into the Stable hallways and points at the Merchant's Quarter while nodding at Mercury. An increased number of ghoul guards can be noticed in there. "Fair warning... you walk in there and you won't be able to feel anger, won't be capable of any type of aggression, and you won't even be able to hold onto a weapon. Except for Blast."
07[01:12] * +Mercury blinks and grinds to a hault. "Tuwabawho?"
15[01:12] * +Kirengo "Was I unclear?"
07[01:12] * +Blastwave grins, "I love being immune to things."
07[01:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "That is...interesting..."
04[01:13] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Kirengo. "No, that was pretty clear... but that's crazy... how's that work?"
15[01:13] * +Kirengo looks at Clipped_Cantle. "I swear I am not kidding this time... magic."
04[01:15] * +Clipped_Cantle stares at Kirengo. "...alright."
07[01:15] * +Mercury "I am just a little worried. With what Clipped went through, is it really safe to have some strange magic messing with her brain?" Not feeling an emotion may cause the 'I am a machine' problem flare up again.
15[01:16] * +Kirengo "Uh... Clipped, you angry right now?"
07[01:17] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head. "Not really. Annoyed at these damn limbs, but not angry.
[01:17] <+Clipped_Cantle> "
15[01:18] * +Kirengo "Well it kinda kills most annoyance, too... um... I guess we can just go around. Not that much farther."
07[01:18] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks, then wingshrugs
07[01:19] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and sighs.
07[01:20] * +Mercury makes a mental note of that effect.
07[01:20] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle before they continue
15[01:21] * +Kirengo "On we go." He leads them on a slightly longer journey around the pascified area, ending up in the residential area.
04[01:22] * +Clipped_Cantle opens her eyes and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back, then follow Kirengo.
07[01:22] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows and stays close to Clipped_Cantle
07[01:22] * +Mercury takes her place in the rear again.
07[01:27] * +Clipped_Cantle stops and looks around at everyone. "Thanks everyone..."
07[01:28] * +Blastwave smiles, "Anytime Clipped."
07[01:28] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer licks Clipped_Cantle's ear "Anytime."
07[01:28] * +Mercury smiles. "Any time."
[01:28] <+Mercury> (Bugger)
[01:29] <+Clipped_Cantle> "It just... means a lot. Just... being there and treating me like... I'm still a pony."
07[01:29] * +Blastwave "You are still a pony."
15[01:30] * +Kirengo gives Clipped_Cantle a smile. "It's because you are still a pony. Nothing's changed. I'm still a zebra with or without my wings." He looks down the hallways and finds three rooms next to each other that are unoccupied... they also happen to be near his mother's room. He opens one of the doors for Clipped and Moon.
04[01:30] * +Mercury nods. "Yep. No less a pony than any of us... Baring Kirengo." She looks over the others... maybe not her best choice of examples...
07[01:32] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and lowers her head a little. "I'm not too sure about that, really... but... thanks anyway. It still makes me feel better, regardless."
07[01:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "Yes...you are still very much a pony..."
07[01:34] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back, sighing again.
15[01:36] * +Kirengo shrugs and leaves the door open. He walks back over and puts a hoof on Clipped_Cantle. "If you uh... ever need to... I dunno... talk..." he nods at Moon, "and she's asleep or something..."
04[01:37] * +Blastwave smiles a little at Kirengo and nods approvingly.
07[01:39] * +Mercury nods as well and smiles to Clipped_Cantle and Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Sweet dreams."
07[01:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods to the room "Do you wish to sleep Clipped?"
04[01:41] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Kirengo. "I'll... remember that." She blinks at Mercury, then at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "I don't even know if I still need to..."
15[01:41] * +Kirengo puts his hoof down. "You're a pony, you need sleep just like Moon does." He goes and opens up the doors to the other two unoccupied rooms as well.
07[01:41] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer chuckles and kisses Clipped_Cantle on the cheek "Well, we can find out."
07[01:43] * +Mercury looks up and down the hall, getting her barings and taging the spot on her auto map.
07[01:44] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and moves slowly into the room. "I guess we will." She looks at the bed and winces.
07[01:44] * +Blastwave sighs.
07[01:46] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sighs and heads in after Clipped_Cantle, then takes off her gear, shutting the door, gets into bed, lying on her side
15[01:47] * +Kirengo says "See ya..." as the door closes. He looks back over at Mercury and Blastwave.
07[01:47] * +Blastwave "So..." he resists the urge to make a threesome joke
15[01:47] * +Kirengo could really use a good threesome joke...
07[01:48] * +Blastwave "Threesome?"
07[01:48] * +Clipped_Cantle watches Moonlight`s_Shimmer climb into bed and suddenly looks nervous. "Uh... just... cuddling...?"
15[01:48] * +Kirengo facehoofs... but very faintly smiles.
04[01:48] * +Mercury turns back to Kirengo, glancing at Blastwave now and again. "Well th... Pfffffttt!" She snorts, bending her head down with a chortal and dropping her glasses.
07[01:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles at Clipped_Cantle "Whatever you want Clipped."
07[01:49] * +Blastwave grins, "So.. thats a no?"
15[01:49] * +Kirengo puts his hoof back down and shakes his head. "I'm not depressed or drunk enough for that."
07[01:50] * +Blastwave "Well, we must fix that." he says with a smirk.
15[01:52] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes. "Maybe some other time."
07[01:52] * +Mercury slips her glasses back on and holds her helmet under her wing. She gives Blast a half grin. "Sugesting the officer's club?"
07[01:52] * +Mercury looses her smile. "Ah."
15[01:53] * +Kirengo "I meant the threesome, not the drinking..."
07[01:53] * +Blastwave smirks, "Too late for that, maybe next time" he looks over. "Yay drinking."
07[01:55] * +Mercury shrugs. "So, this place have a bar?"
07[01:56] * +Clipped_Cantle climbs up in bed net to Moonlight`s_Shimmer and lies down, not quite touching the mare.
15[01:57] * +Kirengo "Um... not so much a bar, but there is alcohol for sale." He shrugs. "Seems a bit pointless to me, but..."
07[01:58] * +Blastwave "We don't have to, I can't even really get drunk."
07[01:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks then scootches closer to Clipped_Cantle and drapes a wing over her "Good night Clipped.."
15[01:58] * +Kirengo "Part of my point..."
07[01:59] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and scoots her body into Moonlight`s_Shimmer's, resting her head on the larger mare's shoulder. "Good... good night, Moon..."
07[02:00] * +Mercury "Fair enough."
07[02:00] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer snuggles with Clipped_Cantle and slowly drifts off to sleep
15[02:01] * +Kirengo "So..."
07[02:02] * +Blastwave pauses. "Are you two going to fight? There's been tension all day..."
07[02:02] * +Mercury "I would rather not. I would die."
15[02:03] * +Kirengo blinks. "huh?"
06[02:05] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer is now known as Shadow
04[02:05] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo, "She's been kind of avoiding you... ish..."
15[02:06] * +Kirengo "I know. And apparently it's because she thinks I'm going to bash her head in for no reason."
07[02:08] * +Mercury shrugs. "You do tend to hit things when you are upset. This has been a very upsetting day and we did not end on the best of terms."
15[02:11] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes at Mercury. It's funny... someone in this group finally responded the way he wanted them to and yet it still wasn't working. He really missed working with the ghouls... things were so much simpler. "I can't hit you."
07[02:12] * +Mercury cocks an eyebrow. "Pardon?"
15[02:12] * +Kirengo "What would you do if I kicked you?"
07[02:13] * +Mercury points to his weapons. "With those? Die."
15[02:14] * +Kirengo sighs at Mercury. "What would you do if I kicked you and only caused pain and not death?"
07[02:15] * +Mercury "Without those, shoot back, most likely. Not like I can exactly handle you hoof to hoof or fly away."
15[02:15] * +Kirengo facehoofs. "I'm more going for 'you wouldn't continues working with us', am I close?"
15[02:15] <+Kirengo> continue*
07[02:16] * +Mercury "Most likely. Kinda mulling that idea to be honest."
15[02:18] * +Kirengo "Yeah, well, there's your answer. You perform a valuable function on a team and I'm not going to jeapordize that by doing something stupid. Not when I can go do something stupid to a plank of wood that isn't going to fight or talk back at me."
04[02:24] * +Mercury "Right..." She looks over to Blastwave, then back to Kirengo. "So..." She sighs and rubs her temple with a wing tip.
07[02:25] * +Blastwave leans against a wall, "Now kiss and make up."
15[02:25] * +Kirengo sighs. "Kwa upendo wa..." He looks back at Mercury. "Do we need to do this in the pascification field or something? Would -that- make you feel better?"
07[02:31] * +Mercury shakes her head. "No, no need." She looks up, fixing her glasses again... she may want to tape them on at this rate. "I have been looking for a chance to do this since the boat." She takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry for snapping at you yesterday."
15[02:32] * +Kirengo blinks at Mercury, slightly in shock. "That... was unexpected."
13[02:33] * +Blastwave ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
07[02:34] * +Mercury shrugs. "There was a misunderstanding and I was too impatient and irritated to handle it well. I never intended to make those implications… And sorry for calling you a murderer. I am still getting used to how things work down here.”
06[02:36] * Shadow is now known as Shadow|Sleeps
15[02:37] * +Kirengo blinky blinks at Mercury. "Ah... well... thanks. Um..."
07[02:37] * +Mercury “Though, please do not tell me that I do not care about the ponies down here.” She wiggles her stub… damn thing was itching again. “I didn’t lose this for a better seat on a skybus.”
15[02:42] * +Kirengo sighs and responds to Mercury, "I didn't until you started saying the things you did. But now I can go back to thinking you do care. Now I have no idea what you -did- mean back then... but honestly I'm not entirely sure I want to know. What... are you going to do down here, though?"
07[02:46] * +Mercury shrugs. "I don't know now... I wanted to help get the Enclave back on the right track. You know the posters?" She puffs out her chest. "We will save you." Deflating again she looks down. "Now though... I don't know. Maybe help gather up refugees. Set up a town for them or something. Can't exactly do much saving without our infrastructure and a chunk of our farmland gone."
15[02:48] * +Kirengo "You could send them here, maybe."
07[02:52] * +Mercury ponders. "I suppose. I had one other option in mind. The Pyro spotted an abandoned settlement a stone's throw from Buckland."
15[02:53] * +Kirengo "Abandoned..." he clears his throat. "That's one way to put it."
07[02:55] * +Mercury swishes her bladed tail back and forth. "It is in a defensible location and very close to power armored aid. Um... Is there something wrong with it?"
15[02:56] * +Kirengo "Uh..." He tilts his head. "Nothing wrong with the location, no. It's just... Arbu... well the ponies that lived there used to capture and butcher up other ponies and sell their meat as radigator meat to caravans and passersby and such. They just recently got found out and... well... taken out."
07[02:58] * +Mercury shudders. "Well then... A good cleaning is in order before resettlement..."
15[02:58] * +Kirengo nods. "Yeah, definitely."
