  28. [2014-04-02 15:47:50] <Little_Gloom> 3(... During the trip back to the Jungle ...)
  29. [2014-04-02 15:47:51] -->| psp7master ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP
  30. [2014-04-02 15:48:47] <Little_Gloom> 3(Interlude provided by Noble_Heart and Golden_Dream. Enjoy! Warning: interlude will be longish.)
  31. [2014-04-02 15:48:57] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream brushes a branch out of her face. "Pff. Noble, why can't y' jus' teleport us t' th' place we wanna go again?" She has a twig in her mane, and she is not having a very good time at all.
  32. [2014-04-02 15:49:12] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart trots along a few paces to one side, ducking under the lowest limb of a tree. "We might be capable of it, but accuracy at such range is difficult. There is a risk that We might drop all of Our friends in a dangerously concentrated cloud of pink gas. Or worse, within the range of a broadcaster."
  33. [2014-04-02 15:49:38] <Little_Gloom> 3She frowns. "The relative safety of Our destination made the trip to Miss Doo's caravan easy, by comparison."
  34. [2014-04-02 15:49:50] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream rolls her eyes. "Well, what're the odds of..." She tilted her head. Right. Yeah, legitimate worry. "Nevermind." After a quiet moment, she observed a tree. It was a similar tree to something she'd seen growing in the bog, with a large trunk and a width of arms that spread for a while in each direction.
  35. [2014-04-02 15:50:08] <Little_Gloom> 3Something like this sight made her have a moment of contemplation. "... Hey, look, Noble? Remember that stuff I said back in th' buildin'?
  36. [2014-04-02 15:50:21] <Little_Gloom> 3oble_Heart blinks a few moments, looking towards Golden Dream, then up towards the tree as well. "Perhaps you should specify which building? We have been in several since meeting you. Though We do remember you asked Us about Our past in the wreckage of the tower. And... Painful feelings brought on by the windigos to drive Us apart."
  37. [2014-04-02 15:50:38] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream flinches and corrects herself. "Th' SPP buildin'. Th' one that was covered in evil frozen skywater?" Why Littlepip made snow was an aggravating mystery to her. "Yeah, that. Um... Look. I meant what I said there, but not in those words, alright? I hurt you 'cause I was feelin' bad back then, and I'm sorry."
  38. [2014-04-02 15:51:14] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart frowns and looks up at the tree, reaching out with her magic to pluck a white flower with pink edges from one of the upper branches and levitate it down. "We gave you Our word then that We would respect you for who you are, as Our friend, did We not?"
  39. [2014-04-02 15:51:38] <Little_Gloom> 3She looked down at the flower contemplatively, before regarding Golden Dream again. "Have We done something to cast doubt upon that?" She did, however, lower the flower to tuck it into the edge of Golden Dream's hat, considering it quietly a few moments.
  40. [2014-04-02 15:52:01] <Little_Gloom> 3 Golden_Dream blinks and then takes it off to look at it. Huh. Pretty. She put it back on, flower in place. "Well, no. It's just, sometimes I feel like you n' me are on two different conversations." She tried to formulate words for a while, and then decided that now would be the best opportunity to just let it all out.
  41. [2014-04-02 15:52:25] <Little_Gloom> 3"Look. Both of us, hell, most of us here, we're fucked up in one way or another. I got daddy issues, momma issues, abandoment issues..." She sighed. "I... Urgh. I'm worried that maybe you don't have yourself figured out, and that's why I have this weird feelin' that you don't see me right. That make any sense?"
  42. [2014-04-02 15:52:42] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart tilts her head to one side, then the other, contemplating and mulling that over. "You are afraid for Us? That We are... Broken?" She frowns, shuffling her forelegs slightly, clearly uncomfortable about such a thought.
  43. [2014-04-02 15:52:57] <Little_Gloom> 3"It is true that We have suffered much in Our lifetime. Our time beneath she who should not have been was not kind to Us, nor Our sisters." She bowed her head and looked down to Golden Dream. "But when We look at you, it reminds Us that there are those who are worth more than merely risking Our life to protect. Those who are worth knowing, and caring about."
  44. [2014-04-02 15:53:28] <Little_Gloom> 3She looks back up towards the tree. "It is a Northern Loau Tree. They were believed, once, to be only indiginous to the boarderlands between the Zebra lands and Equestria, until a small cosp was discovered deep in the Froggy Bottom Bog. Its seeds contain magic that enhances strength and energy, and they grow relentlessly once planted in the proper soil.
  45. [2014-04-02 15:53:42] <Little_Gloom> 3It was essential in the creation of many of the short-lived combat drugs used during the war." She regards Golden Dream again and smiles. "We think it suits you. One who has had a life full of hardship but has grown strong and quickly for it."
  46. [2014-04-02 15:54:15] <Little_Gloom> 3 Golden_Dream is awestruck. Wow. That's... Wow. "Noble, that was around th' most beautiful and poignant things I've ever heard y' say." She sighs. "Look. I... Fuck, damnit, why'd you have t' go and say somethin' like that? If y' pissed me off instead a' actin' perfect, it'd be easier t' point out why I'm worried that maybe..."
  47. [2014-04-02 15:54:36] <Little_Gloom> 3She had a moment of hesitation to talk about something. "I wanna talk about you. Th' you before..." She did a small sweeping gesture on Noble. "Yeah."
  48. [2014-04-02 15:55:05] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart looks down at herself, confused a few moments as to what Golden Dream meant, before she bowed her head and sighed quietly. "We... I do not really wish to talk about it, to be honest. It was a very, very long time ago, and what happened then has little meaning now." The way she said that belied her difficulties with the emotions it brought to bear.
  49. [2014-04-02 15:55:13] <Little_Gloom> 3Evidently, it did matter, as after a moment a tear ran down her muzzle and she shook her head to get it off.
  50. [2014-04-02 15:55:40] <Little_Gloom> 3 Golden_Dream's face grew long and lean. Her eyes grew distant as she looked up the Loau. "You know why I hate winter so much?" She said, in an oddly correct tone of voice.
  51. [2014-04-02 15:56:00] <Little_Gloom> 3"It's because of plants. I hate that when th' snow comes down, they shrivel up and look like they're dyin'. It's because they're sleepin' and waitin' for the spring t' come because th' winter's horrible fer them. It's a really hostile environment for something to grow, so they just stop and wait for things to be better for a better time...
  52. [2014-04-02 15:56:23] <Little_Gloom> 3...But every time I'd go to some elderberry bushes out by the creek by my house after the winter, I'd notice that sometimes, th' bushes are dead after th' winter got done with it, and I'd wait and wait until it stopped lookin' like it was dead, and waiting for it t' notice that it's time for it t' grow again."
  53. [2014-04-02 15:57:15] <Little_Gloom> 3She sighs, whistfully. "I guess I'm sayin' yer like an elderberry bush I know. And I guess I'm tryin' t' say that, I know you're putting up this front t' seem like you're not yerself. But I think it's around time for you to come out of hiding..."
  54. [2014-04-02 15:57:32] <Little_Gloom> 3"... All of you, 'cause I think it'll be a beautiful thing t' see, and I don't want to have waited this long to realize that you can't come out of hiding anymore."
  55. [2014-04-02 15:58:09] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart quietly looked up at the tree, the sad look on her face not fading as she sat down beside the smaller pony. "We..." She trailed off, her voice weak as she looked back down towards the base of the trunk. Quiet for a long time, before regarding Golden Dream again.
  56. [2014-04-02 15:58:29] <Little_Gloom> 3"A long, long time ago, longer than you can imagine, though perhaps not as long as it feels like to me, I had a sister. Not a sister born of those converted by our Goddess. But a real sister. One who I cared for very much..." Her voice becomes shaky as she speaks, she closes her eyes to blink away tears.
  57. [2014-04-02 15:58:38] <Little_Gloom> 3"Our parents died when she was young. Before she even got her Cutie Mark. When I had only just graduated from school. We were all we had," her rememberance is interrupted by a cough and a brief sniffle, "she meant everything to me." A brief pause as she tried to compose herself.
  58. [2014-04-02 15:59:19] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart shuffled a moment and took a deep breath, in then out, trying to calm the cough caused by her tears. "I don't remember why we left Appleloosa... Like too much of my life it has slipped between the cracks in the long years of slavery." She shook her head briefly again, trying to focus her thoughts.
  59. [2014-04-02 15:59:32] <Little_Gloom> 3"I took a job with the Ministry of Arcane Technologies. It was the first time I had really gotten a chance to use what I had learned, I remember that. I was smart, capable, upstanding. Surely those who would be my colleagues would accept me as one of their own."
  60. [2014-04-02 16:00:03] <Little_Gloom> 3She scowled angrily at the base of the tree, if looks could light things on fire the tree would already be ablaze. "But they would not accept me. They whispered behind my back, that I had only been hired because of my family relation. That I did not deserve my position. That I was nothing but a worthless country bumpkin." She practically spat the last word.
  61. [2014-04-02 16:00:17] <Little_Gloom> 3"They were careful, though. Always quiet around those in charge. Never showing their disdain when the Ministry Mare or her subordinates would come to check on us. But they did it close enough I would hear. I'm certain they wanted me to know what they thought of me." She frowned and breathed a deep, shaky breath again.
  62. [2014-04-02 16:00:23] <Little_Gloom> 3"My sister was the only one who still admired me. Accepted me. Cared about me. She was having the same sorts of troubles adjusting to life in Olneigh. The local children saw her as an outsider. Someone different." She looked sideways down at Golden Dream, quiet for a long time as though searching for the words to continue.
  63. [2014-04-02 16:01:51] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream can't always be an emotionless or grumpy snark all the time. Sometimes, she just has to be a filly that is allowed to have emotions sometimes. She started crying. Streams of tears that she couldn't really control and tried very hard to ignore were there, to dubious results.
  64. [2014-04-02 16:02:00] <Little_Gloom> 3"I... I know how you feel. M' mom was th' best pony I ever knew. She taught me everythin'. And she- she got real sick when I was little. Morty told me she died 'a cancer. Dad... Dad, he blamed himself so bad that he'd gone t' drinkin'. He was a good pony, just th' type that don't know rightly what to do with himself sometimes.
  65. [2014-04-02 16:02:41] <Little_Gloom> 3...And then he went and got himself killed huntin' down his old buddies fer' somethin' that happened long ago. And then m' brother, smart, real smart, he went off and joined th' followers on a scholarship, an'.... Nopony was left. I ain't never felt so alone." She gulped down hard.
  66. [2014-04-02 16:03:10] <Little_Gloom> 3She tried hard to hold back the floodgates, but the walls were cracking under the pressure. "And then I met you an' everyone after goin' crazy an', an'... I jus' wanna know somepony again. I wanna know, hey, I'm not gonna leave y'. I'm not gonna die. I ain't goin' noplace...
  67. [2014-04-02 16:03:46] <Little_Gloom> 3"You can... Stop... Ponies from leaving you. So, when y' call me a sister, I'm wonderin', y'no. When you finally show yerself, are you still going to stay, so I can finally rest and stop worryin'..." And then the sobbing began.
  68. [2014-04-02 16:04:02] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart gently extends a wing around the smaller pony, pulling her in close in a hug, she leaned down to nuzzle Golden Dream. Her own tears returning. "I promised her... I promised her I would make things better. That I'd keep her safe." She closed her eyes tightly.
  69. [2014-04-02 16:04:18] <Little_Gloom> 3"I... I couldn't be there. On the day when everything went wrong. I was in the labs. H-helping... helping when..." She chokes and sobs again, her voice breaking down into a whimper. "I'm... I'm not worthless... I'm not weak... I won't abandon anyone I care about... I'll... I'll stand up and make things right. Show everyone th-that I can do something...
  70. [2014-04-02 16:04:27] <Little_Gloom> 3"...Anything..." She trembles and holds close against the smaller pony.
  71. [2014-04-02 16:04:42] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream shares a moment of grief. It must've looked strange, weeping in the view of beauty. Sometimes, it can be downright cathartic to have a good sob. This was one of those times.
  72. [2014-04-02 16:04:57] <Little_Gloom> 3"Noble. Noble, look at me. It wasn't your fault. And even if it were, you paid yer dues enough. Alright? If you could meet your sister right now, I'm sure she'd say that she forgave you a long time ago. And that you were th' strongest pony and most reliable friend she ever met. 'Cause that's what y' are t' me. Alright? Please..."
  73. [2014-04-02 16:05:06] <Little_Gloom> 3"I don't want to know Noble anymore. All she is, is just a way t' deal with somethin' y' still can't really bear alone. And if you can't come out of hiding, someone that someone that's been through that much more than I have and kept going, what hope is there for me?"
  74. [2014-04-02 16:05:21] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart slowly pulled back at her name, blinking away tears, struggling to see the pony by her side. "We... I... We..." She stammers with words and sniffles heavily. "I... I was..." She pauses, reaching with a wing to wipe away her tears slowly, looking down to Golden Dream and swallowing shakily.
  75. [2014-04-02 16:05:31] <Little_Gloom> 3"I was... My name was once Corolla. B-but I have not.. I'm not sure... It wouldn't be right..."
  76. [2014-04-02 16:05:36] <Little_Gloom> 3She struggles to come up with a reason why that name would not apply to her any more.
  77. [2014-04-02 16:05:42] <Little_Gloom> 3 Golden_Dream doesn't bother with words for a while. At this point, only the biggest, tightest, most tearstained hug in the world would do. "Corolla sounds like elderberries." She finally muttered.
  78. [2014-04-02 16:05:49] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart blushes and wraps her wings around Golden Dream, holding her close, quietly closing her eyes and doing her best not to break down any worse. "I won't leave. I wouldn't ever abandon you."
  79. [2014-04-02 16:05:55] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream cuddles into the wings, chuckling maybe a little madly. "So, Corolla. Let me jus' be th' first t' tell y' that yer wings are th' fluffiest things ever." She chuckled some more. "I wish I had wings a lot of times."
  80. [2014-04-02 16:06:05] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart gently holds Golden Dream close, sniffling and then giggling a little bit at that. "Oh? Really? I don't think you'd want to go through what I had to to get them." She nuzzled the smaller pony. "Though I think you'd look good with them. Not that you don't look good as you are, mind." She smiled down to her friend.
  81. [2014-04-02 16:06:15] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream chuckles. She liked this. First, they get all grief-stricken out of nowhere, and then when that got out of their system, they made with the small talk and happy banter. If this was the pattern they would be on from now on, she would be okay with it.
  82. [2014-04-02 16:06:22] <Little_Gloom> 3"Y'all say I look good in everything. But I'm real, like, bright green and got mismatched eyes and a mane that don't match m' coat. You got th' looks outta here. Hell, I seen Bookie starin' at yer behind fer real long stretches 'a land."
  83. [2014-04-02 16:06:28] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream folds her legs and slumps against Corolla. "I'm a filly doomed to be a crazy cat mare."
  84. [2014-04-02 16:06:38] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart gently nuzzles Golden_Dream's cheek. "I don't believe that. Well, maybe a crazy shaman mare, given your propensity towards spiritual friends." She smiled a little, then tilted her head to one side. "But it is no surprise that I look good. I am, as I have been for all the time you have known me, an Alicorn."
  85. [2014-04-02 16:06:48] <Little_Gloom> 3She still seems more than a touch proud of that, straightening her neck a bit as she says it. "But I still think you would look lovely cleaned up with a proper dress to match your colors." She frowned slightly. "Though I suppose fashion has never been my strong suit."
  86. [2014-04-02 16:06:56] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream flicks a hoof up weakly. "Oh, ya'll hush." She huffs, flicking her tail at Corolla while pretending to raise a stink. "Yeah that's th' point, though. I mean, what color'll match bright green, yeller, blue, and red all at th' same time? That dress is gon' be crazy lookin'!" She missed not having to put on such a strong face all the time.
  87. [2014-04-02 16:07:05] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart tapped her chin thoughtfully. "I have been told that black goes with everything. And have always been partial to gold, myself." She shook her head. "Perhaps you should look for a tailor as we travel through the zebra lands?" She slowly straightened up.
  88. [2014-04-02 16:07:13] <Little_Gloom> 3"Speaking of, we ought to continue the travel back towards the school. I doubt the others wish to wait for us much longer."
  89. [2014-04-02 16:07:20] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream blinks. Oh, crap, that's right. "Black. Blurgh. Y'no, Get Lost still tells me that I'd look good in black, like one o' them goths, whatever they are, but I jus' don' see it. Maybe if I wear goggles that cover up m' eyes." She flicks an ear up, then spryly leaps back to her hooves.
  90. [2014-04-02 16:07:28] <Little_Gloom> 3"But, yeah, totally. Especially since yer fur's so purple, it'll make y' look like real royalty."
  91. [2014-04-02 16:07:34] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart blushes slightly at that. "Thank you." She turned, looking briefly up at the Loua tree again, before starting to move after their other friends.

  94. [2014-04-02 16:12:04] <Little_Gloom> 3Tragedy's End
  95. [2014-04-02 16:14:17] <Little_Gloom> 3Ten miles south-by-southwest of Luna's Academy for Young Unicorns. The very edge of the continent of Equestria.
  96. [2014-04-02 16:17:35] <Little_Gloom> 3Clusters of buildings, fences, turrets and walls. The largest wall stretches slightly over a mile, marking the border between this continent and the isthmus that connects it to the home continent of the zebras and dragons. Other walls an fencing separates out the border military encampment and the sprawling, tattered Ministry of Peace field hospital.
  97. [2014-04-02 16:19:15] <Little_Gloom> 3The huge emblem of the pink and yellow butterflies adorns the top of the largest pavillion, the decaying canvas fluttering and snapping in the breeze.
  98. [2014-04-02 16:21:28] <Little_Gloom> 3On the left, sticks rise from the ground, the few bits of wooden skeletons still standing from housing hastily constructed. No megaspells or war tore down these homes... they were simply not built to last.
  99. [2014-04-02 16:23:23] <Little_Gloom> 3Beyond, the curving edifice of the New Futures Labs, still mostly intact. There are signs of old war damage, but nothing significant... looking more like a road sign shot at by raiders for fun than a target of serious military effort.
  100. [2014-04-02 16:25:59] <Little_Gloom> 3On the right, a compound of buildings behind tall walls. The second-largest has two towering brick smokestacks. A sickly green glow illuminates parts of the compound, and there seems to be a large grove of trees towards the back. The sign at the warped and fallen main gate reads: GOOD PONY.
  101. [2014-04-02 16:26:15] <Little_Gloom> 3--- Session Begins ---
  102. [2014-04-02 16:30:12] * Noble_Heart beat her wings as she helped to hold the fire wagon aloft. She surveyed the ruins below, looking for any sign of the Mysterious Mare-do-Well. They were meant to meet up after passing Luna's School, so this would seem the ideal place to do it. "Golden Dream? Have you any sight of our ghostly friend?"
  103. [2014-04-02 16:32:57] * Shatara looks over the ancient border fortifications in awe.
  104. [2014-04-02 16:33:32] * Golden_Dream sucks on her teeth. "So, I ain't goin' near that." She concluded aloud. "Nothin' good ever comes out of things that glow that kinda green."
  105. [2014-04-02 16:35:25] <Little_Gloom> 3As the group gets closer, Noble_Heart and CopyCat can feel a pleasant, tingling warmth as the wind blows from across Tragedy's End. Shatara and Golden_Dream hear the clickity-click of their PipBucks, the speed raising and falling with the wind.
  106. [2014-04-02 16:36:04] * Bookwright cocks his head. "Well, I get great stuff from terminals, and those glow green. Perhaps you should revisit your callous and careless use of absolutes?"
  107. [2014-04-02 16:36:04] * CopyCat hovers beside Noble_Heart and looks down at the scene below. "We find ourselves another gutted ruin. More skeletal structures ripe for investigating..." She turns her head to face Golden_Dream in the firetruck. "I seem to remember green glowing things felling nice and tingly."
  108. [2014-04-02 16:37:04] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream notices even more glowing green coming from behind the New Futures Labs, from cracks beneath the asphalt parking. Then she spots a familiar purple-suited figure hopping from rooftop to tent-top and finally onto the wall itself.
  109. [2014-04-02 16:37:11] * Bookwright "Although in this case, yes, green glow is bad. That's magical radiation, or I'm a small unpleasant wobbly thing."
  110. [2014-04-02 16:37:20] * Noble_Heart looks down towards the glowing area below. "Magical radiation permiates this place. We can feel it, even here. It won't hurt Us or Our sisters. But... We should not stay longer than We must."
  111. [2014-04-02 16:38:40] * Shatara frowns at his pipbuck, and taps at the rad-gauge.
  112. [2014-04-02 16:39:13] * Golden_Dream sighs. "Yup. That shit's radioactive as hell." She sighed, and quirked an eyebrow at CopyCat. "Shit, how do you know? Nevermind that, ya'll can go poke at it, I'mma gon' keep m' distance if this clickity-clackity's tellin' me anythin'. Goin' up t' the whole school thing was more us gettin' impressed by reapers than anything, and I ain't got a reason t' be stupid here."
  113. [2014-04-02 16:40:02] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream and Shatara hear a voice in their heads. Low, rumbling, but somehow peaceful. >> Thank you for helping my children. Fear not. You are welcome here. <<
  114. [2014-04-02 16:41:24] * Shatara 's eyes pinprick. Well, at least this intrusive voice seemed relatively nice. "...wut."
  115. [2014-04-02 16:41:31] * Golden_Dream shivers. Aw, hell. "Shatara, did you hear that too?"
  116. [2014-04-02 16:43:40] * Shatara nods. "Guess so..."

  120. [2014-04-02 16:45:45] * Golden_Dream sighs. "That's what I was afraid of." She'd been sort of comforted by Shatara being able to hear the things she heard for some reason. At least she didn't look like she was going crazy alone. "Folks, sounds like we're a guest of somethin' here. Do we wanna investigate who it is?"
  121. [2014-04-02 16:47:57] * CopyCat chuckles. "Of course Golden_Dream. When do we ever /not/ investigate things?"
  122. [2014-04-02 16:48:24] * Shatara makes doe eyes. "Investigate ALL the things?"
  123. [2014-04-02 16:48:33] * Noble_Heart frowns and looks towards the glow, then back towards the rest of the area. "We would not mind exploring, but We are concerned about Our friends' safety..." She looks back towards the others. "But, if there is a safe place for Our friends We would like to find out what is here."
  124. [2014-04-02 16:48:36] * Bookwright "Are you crazy? Actually, don't answer that. Are you seeing more ghosty things?"
  125. [2014-04-02 16:49:55] * Golden_Dream hung her head and gave a deep sigh. "Y'no, somethin' like this can be taken as a sign of insanity." She lifted her head sharply and tried to compose herself. "Hearing. And yeah, judgin' by th' fact Shatara heard that, it's either he's gettin' closer t' what I can see, or we're dealin' with some sorta momma death spirit."
  126. [2014-04-02 16:50:54] * CopyCat nods to Shatara. "All things must be investigated."
  127. [2014-04-02 16:51:10] * Golden_Dream shrugs a little, reaching for her Riot Shotgun. "It's tellin' us we're safe though, so there's that."
  128. [2014-04-02 16:53:14] <Little_Gloom> 3The wind drifts across Tragedy's End, bringing warmth and radiation and the slight scent of seawater as it rustles the groups' manes and tails, and makes their barding flap in the breeze.
  129. [2014-04-02 16:53:41] * Bookwright "You understand my reluctance to approach without any kind of preparation for the radiation, right?"
  130. [2014-04-02 16:54:42] * CopyCat studies the ground. "If we want to look around then landing will be our first priority. Does anyone see a good spot?" CC flings back her head so her mane waves majestically in the breeze.
  131. [2014-04-02 16:55:23] <Little_Gloom> 3There's a blur, and Mare-Do-Well is flapping her wings and hovering ghostily next to Golden_Dream. "Hey there. Glad you made it. What took you slowpokes so long?"
  132. [2014-04-02 16:56:39] * Noble_Heart frowns slightly. "We suggest landing near the Ministry of Peace hospital. It is possible they may have radiation treatment supplies within. And more importantly, protection from this wind." She motions towards the building as she turns in the air slightly.
  133. [2014-04-02 16:58:09] * CopyCat nods. "Good thinking Noble. I've also got some Rad medicine in my bags if we need it."
  134. [2014-04-02 16:59:03] * Golden_Dream looks to Mare-Do-Well's, now Rainbow Dash's last known location. "Hi there, MD-Dubbaya! Y' miss us?" She called out before looking at Bookie. "A death spirit wouldn't be sayin' we're safe if we weren't. Let's have th' alercorns scout out t' see if they can find us some goodies while we stick around here where it's... Relatively safe." She looked at Mare-Do-Well. "Oh, y'no. Dead school....
  135. [2014-04-02 16:59:03] * Golden_Dream ...Horrible pink mist. Met a bunch of reaper ponies. Met a ghoul kid what has a spirit lookin' after him that we looped back t' the caravans t' send off right. Oh, and some mare named Cheerilee's in stasis and is still alive." She coughed. "Might'a picked somethin' up while ah was there. Ya'll know, average day."

  137. [2014-04-02 17:01:25] * Bookwright looks aghast at Golden_Dream's casual dismissal of the horrible events of the Acadamy.
  138. [2014-04-02 17:03:04] * Noble_Heart nods her head to CopyCat, turning in the air to maneuver their wagon down towards the medical building. If the radiation was stronger someone would surely notice.
  139. [2014-04-02 17:04:28] * Golden_Dream can feel Bookwright's discomfort on the side of her face. "Look, if I tried t' always remember th' shitty stuff that happens around me, I wouldn't be able t' get up in th' mornin' because I was so sad."
  140. [2014-04-02 17:05:35] * Bookwright gives Golden_Dream a strange look. "I just don't think that levity is suitable when describing a horrible massacre."
  141. [2014-04-02 17:08:20] * CopyCat calls back to Bookwright as they come in to land. "To be fair Bookwright, we did end up spending most of our time there rolling around in giant hamsterballs."
  142. [2014-04-02 17:10:50] * Golden_Dream leans in real close to Bookwright. "A horrible, horrible massacre happened everywhere. Th' sooner we remember it, but not let it hurt us, th' sooner we can get t' doing th' good we can do."
  143. [2014-04-02 17:13:02] <Little_Gloom> 3Mare-Do-Well seems to visibly blanche at the mention of reaper ponies and the dead school. Which is quite a feat considering transparent and wearing a face mask. "O-oh. Yeah. Of course.
  144. [2014-04-02 17:13:33] <Little_Gloom> 3She pauses, "Wait! Cheerilee's /alive/?"
  145. [2014-04-02 17:13:50] * Golden_Dream nods. "Yeah- wait, you knew her?
  146. [2014-04-02 17:14:21] <Little_Gloom> 3"Hell yeah!... I mean, yeah. um... where is she?"
  147. [2014-04-02 17:16:18] * Golden_Dream points back. "We left her and Joy t' head back Nexus ways." She realized she's been in the Crystal Kingdom for a long time. "Uh. It's a town in mainland Equestria. We gotta crack her out of this armor without killin' her, so we gotta do th' science stuff that I dunno how t' do."

  155. [2014-04-02 17:21:25] * Noble_Heart eartwitches at the ongoing conversation. She frowns slightly. "We left her with those who could take her to see someone who might be able to save her. Whether or not she will be saved... That's harder to say for certain."
  156. [2014-04-02 17:22:38] * Golden_Dream sighs. "Wrong use'a words. We left her with Lionheart and Ditzy Doo heading back t' where Fluttershy and all th' Followers are. That any better?"
  157. [2014-04-02 17:24:40] <Little_Gloom> 3There is plenty of space to land around the the Ministry of Peace field hospital. Multiple tents and pavillions surround the building that served as a hospital, with a lot of space in-between. There are several age-broken medical wagons, and even the time-worn remains of a Griffinchaser III on the roof of the main building.
  158. [2014-04-02 17:25:43] * Noble_Heart maneuvers in to find a landing place near the entrance of the building. Somewhere the others could find a place to take refuge from the irradiated wind.
  159. [2014-04-02 17:27:39] <Little_Gloom> 3MMDW taps her forehooves. "Um... tell ya what. I'm going to go say a quick hello. Not that she can hear me. But, you know." The ghost flaps in front of the party for a bit. "I'll be right back. Seriously, you'll hardly know I'm gone!" ZOOM.
  160. [2014-04-02 17:28:31] <Little_Gloom> 3A moment later, a blur swoops back in front of the party. "Oh, and if you're looking for radiation suits, there's a ton of 'em in the New Futures building." ZOOM-again.
  161. [2014-04-02 17:30:23] * CopyCat unharnesses herself from the wagon and stretches. She blinks as Dash... dashes. "Wow, she's off to a flying start."
  162. [2014-04-02 17:30:25] <Little_Gloom> 3(Using her ghostly powers, the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well makes sure the rest of the group can here her last few statements.)
  163. [2014-04-02 17:31:07] * Golden_Dream blinks. "Oh. Thanks!" She sat back. "She said that we can find a bunch of suits in th' New Futures buildin'." She said, unaware that it was audible to everyone.

  165. [2014-04-02 17:33:25] <Little_Gloom> 3The wind blows between the tents and through the chain-link fences, creating metallic jingles and canvas cracks. But aside from the wind, nothing stirs. No ponies or zebras still seem to live here. No birds land here. No insects.
  166. [2014-04-02 17:35:49] * Noble_Heart nods her head and frowns. "Then that should be our first stop. We recommend leaving the fire wagon here, near the hospital, and traveling by hoof. The winds above are tainted with radiation from whatever disaster ended this place..."
  167. [2014-04-02 17:38:24] * Golden_Dream looks around, her ears going flat against her head. This is how she imagined the before times, the before the great rainbow wave cleansed the land times. She doesn't seem to like this revelation. Be strong, Goldy. Be strong. "Right. Let's start heading to th' New Futures place." And so she started a path there.
  168. [2014-04-02 17:40:18] * CopyCat ruffles her feathers. "I don't know if 'tainted' by radiation iis the best word to describe it. I would suggest 'flavoured'."

  170. [2014-04-02 17:41:38] * Noble_Heart carefully removed herself from the harnasses of the wagon, pausing long enough to help CopyCat before following after Golden Dream. "This place was not destroyed by balefire. At least it does not seem so. It is so far from mainland Equestria that We could not imagine the zebras bothering to waste a warhead here." She frowns and looks at the tattered grounds around them.
  171. [2014-04-02 17:41:39] * Noble_Heart "Nor is it scorched and twisted enough, We should think."
  172. [2014-04-02 17:41:59] * Shatara uplps at the persistent tick-tick-ticketeys. "Uh, might I suggest finding some rad meds?"
  173. [2014-04-02 17:43:16] * Golden_Dream looks at Shatara with an understanding expression. "We're goin' after th' suits first. What good is gettin' th' meds first when we're just gonna get fucked up again?"
  174. [2014-04-02 17:44:00] <Little_Gloom> 3There is litter and debris, but little of both. Looking about, Noble_Heart finds the skeleton of a large bird. But there are no skeletons of ponies.
  175. [2014-04-02 17:44:38] * CopyCat nods at Shatara. "I have some Rad medicine with me for emergencies, but it would be a good idea to find more. Dash mentioned protective suits as well."
  176. [2014-04-02 17:44:39] * Shatara frowns. "But wont the radiation be stronger over there?"
  177. [2014-04-02 17:45:17] * Golden_Dream nods her head. "Which is why it's best t' go there sooner than later."
  178. [2014-04-02 17:45:21] * Noble_Heart frowns, then nods her head. "This place did not burn when the world fell. There are no pony skeletons here. They had time to evacute. The radiation must have come later." She gave a short snort. "It is likely that the radiation will be worse closer to those buildings. But if We hurry it may not be too bad. We could go with CopyCat to get them, perhaps, but it is best if
  179. [2014-04-02 17:45:21] * Noble_Heart the decision is sooner than later.
  180. [2014-04-02 17:45:23] <Noble_Heart> "
  181. [2014-04-02 17:50:11] <Little_Gloom> 3Most of the tents are not intact enough to offer valuable shelter. But both the largest pavillion and the hospital itself may provide shelter from the winds. Going to new futures will mean crossing several blocks without any cover, the last block of which is a huge asphalt-covered parking area.
  182. [2014-04-02 17:51:15] * Noble_Heart frowns. "We suggest that Our companions take refuge in the hospital and look for medicine. We shall go with CopyCat to find some radiation suits."
  183. [2014-04-02 17:51:48] * Shatara nods in agreement.
  184. [2014-04-02 17:52:06] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream is already to the edge of the field hospital grounds, weaving through tattered tents filled with hospital beds and IV stands, and around fencing designed to corral.
  185. [2014-04-02 17:52:13] * Bookwright nods. "Alright. Go. I'm going to go help the others shake anti-rad drugs out of a centuries old hospital."
  186. [2014-04-02 17:52:31] * Shatara heads after Golden_Dream.
  187. [2014-04-02 17:54:12] * CopyCat nods to the group. "Okay, stay safe everypony and catbird." CC joins Noble_Heart.
  188. [2014-04-02 17:54:52] * Noble_Heart moves in the direction of the New Futures building. She had little to fear from radiation, after all. And it was unlikely anything other than feral ghouls would be living in a place like this that would kill any normal pony in hours...

  190. [2014-04-02 17:55:01] <Little_Gloom> 3The interior of the hospital is divided into four rooms, two large and two small. The first two rooms are the small ones: a clean-up/prep room and a storage room.
  191. [2014-04-02 17:55:14] * Get_Cancer follows the others in the safe party
  192. [2014-04-02 17:58:39] <Little_Gloom> 3The larger rooms are surgery and intensive care. Old, rusting hospital beds with discolored and stained mattresses form rows. Metal stands with congealed or empty IV packets, strips of surgical tubing, and enough medical supplies to put together several doctors kits (even after weeding out most of the rusty or bent tools).
  193. [2014-04-02 17:59:23] * Golden_Dream whistles uncomfortably while trying to look for some anti-rad drugs while weaving between the tents. She checked the storage room first before moving onto and past the prep-room. Maybe there was a doctor's coat for Get_Cancer to be all doctor-y in.
  194. [2014-04-02 17:59:58] <Little_Gloom> 3The clean-up/prep room has a couple doctor's coats still hanging on an otherwise empty rack. And a line of four sinks and washing basons.
  195. [2014-04-02 18:02:06] * Shatara joins in the search for useful things.
  196. [2014-04-02 18:02:48] <Little_Gloom> 3The storage room is mostly empty -- vacant shelves and a row of twenty medical boxes line the wall, all but two of them open and barren. However, there is a medical cabinet -- it's locked doors made of armored glass -- through which you can see the orange glow of rad-away.
  197. [2014-04-02 18:02:52] * Bookwright looked for anti-radiation drugs, but his heart wasn't really in it. What he really wanted to find was some information about the hospital.
  198. [2014-04-02 18:04:20] * Golden_Dream smiles and attempts to open the medical cabinet. Let's see if things will be easy.
  199. [2014-04-02 18:04:29] <Little_Gloom> 3Before that cabinet is the first skeletons to be found here. Two zebras, by the looks of it. No indication how one of them died, but the other is missing both hindlegs and has severe damage to its hipbones.
  200. [2014-04-02 18:05:02] * Get_Cancer stats putting together medical equipement
  201. [2014-04-02 18:05:32] <Little_Gloom> 3At the far end of the hospital is the green glow of a terminal.

  207. [2014-04-02 18:07:41] * Get_Lost starts working on the locks
  208. [2014-04-02 18:10:29] * Golden_Dream sighs when it isn't. Why isn't it ever easy?

  212. [2014-04-02 18:11:59] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart and CopyCat reach the parking lot, and see the green glow filtering up through the cracks in the asphalt.
  213. [2014-04-02 18:14:08] * Noble_Heart frowns and looks down at that green glow. "It is good that We did not bring Our friends." She continues across the asphalt, keeping an eye out for movement nearby. While living ponies and zebras would likely avoid such a place, ghouls or worse might still lurk here.
  214. [2014-04-02 18:14:13] * Get_Lost offers ""who need a doctor bag? it would be wise for you to have one of these with you, if something bad happens to me"
  215. [2014-04-02 18:16:05] <Little_Gloom> 3The medical boxes are fully stocked, revealing a motherload of medical supplies: four sets of magical healing bandages and ten healing potions, as well as 9 rolls of normal bandages and 10 bobby pins.
  216. [2014-04-02 18:16:06] * Golden_Dream cranes her neck and starts layering doctor's coats onto Get_Lost's back. "Give it t' Bookie when we group up next."
  217. [2014-04-02 18:17:30] <Little_Gloom> 3The medical cabinet has two Super Restoration Potions and a rack of a dozen rad-aways (with one missing). The racks on the bottom for RadSafe and painkillers are, sadly, empty.
  218. [2014-04-02 18:17:40] * Get_Lost looks at the coat "what the... oh, nice.." smile but there's something wrong in her voice
  219. [2014-04-02 18:18:44] * CopyCat nods to Noble_Heart. Sensing her friend's caution, she floats out her revolver just to be safe. "I think we were quite lucky back at the school. I pray that our luck holds."
  220. [2014-04-02 18:20:40] * Noble_Heart smiles to CopyCat. "We have little doubt that with a touch of caution that We shall be fine." She makes her way across the cracked asphalt towards the building. "Undoubtably they will need protection if we are to explore. The radiation here is dangerously powerful for most."
  221. [2014-04-02 18:21:46] * Get_Lost patpats kid on her head "you know..... i used to have one of those when i was a little filly, back with the crusaders... it was a happy time...."
  222. [2014-04-02 18:22:18] <Little_Gloom> 3CopyCat and Noble_Heart reach the New Futures Labs building. The front door is thickly armored beneath a peeling veneer, and very locked. The stylized, glass block windows on each side allow a warped glimpse inside.
  223. [2014-04-02 18:23:10] * CopyCat walks up to the door and knocks.
  224. [2014-04-02 18:23:24] <Little_Gloom> 3There is no answer.
  225. [2014-04-02 18:23:54] * Golden_Dream raises an eyebrow. "Why can't ya'll have one now?" She questioned, starting to stuff bandages onto Get's bags.
  226. [2014-04-02 18:24:17] * CopyCat sighs. "That never works."
  227. [2014-04-02 18:24:56] * Shatara tilts his head at Get_Lost.
  228. [2014-04-02 18:25:30] * Noble_Heart looks up at the building and snorts. "No doubt something meant to keep out intruders." She moved towards the window to get a look inside as best she could. It was doubtful that they'd have armored the building against teleportation, after all. Though she would rather not risk that until she was certain it was necessary.
  229. [2014-04-02 18:26:09] * Get_Lost looks surprised "i don't see why i shouldn't have one... well, besides the fact that the technician jumpsuit is more comfortable.... but i guess i could carry this with me, yes"
  230. [2014-04-02 18:26:14] <Little_Gloom> 3Bookwright had been interested in learning more about the hospital, and naturally gravitates towards the working terminal. The terminal requires no password, and a quick perusal turns up that it is full of messages left by patients -- patients expecting to turn around and head into battle, or who did not expect to make it home. Most are to loved ones.
  231. [2014-04-02 18:27:27] <Little_Gloom> 3A few of the messages are apparently from zebras who had been treated here. Some of them clearly enemy combatants. But more of them civilians which had been evacuated here for the medical care the hospital provided.
  232. [2014-04-02 18:28:19] <Little_Gloom> 3It takes a while for Bookwright to find the series of messages from the hospital overmare.
  233. [2014-04-02 18:29:44] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart gets enough of a glimpse inside that she can be fairly confident in teleportation. It would not be free of risk, but the risk would be severely reduced.

  236. [2014-04-02 18:34:55] * Noble_Heart frowns slightly and tilts her head to one side. "We would not wish to risk breaking the doors down. Let us check the roof first, if there is no better entrance, then We shall attempt to teleport within." She spread her wings and flew towards the roof.
  237. [2014-04-02 18:36:26] * Golden_Dream gives Get_Lost a quick hug before trying to stuff in as many medical supplies in her bags as quickly as she could. "So, how was th' good old days?"
  238. [2014-04-02 18:36:42] * CopyCat nods and flies up with Noble_Heart. She keeps an eye out for windows that had been left open... New Futures might have had a Solaris intern or something.
  239. [2014-04-02 18:37:10] <Little_Gloom> 3> Overmare Entry #1
  240. [2014-04-02 18:37:51] * Get_Lost thinks about the question for a while "lonely"
  241. [2014-04-02 18:39:37] * Get_Lost "i was a.... well, a weird filly. i wanted to be a doctor and i wanted to practice. mostly on unwilling patiants. this is why i was called get lost, you know... and... well... let's just say that i didn't make a lot of friends, okay?"
  242. [2014-04-02 18:40:06] <Little_Gloom> 3> Something strange is happening. My friend in the Lunar Army says reports from the wall is that the zebras are pulling back from their wall and Final Stripe. They've even pulled back some of their patrol bots from the minefield. I don't know if this is a good sign or a very bad one.
  243. [2014-04-02 18:41:35] * Get_Lost "but i used to sit somewhere and watch the other foals play and it was fun even if i wasn't part of it and... well... okay it could look a bit patethic but it wasn't, really! it's not that... uhm... that i wanted friends anyway"
  244. [2014-04-02 18:41:41] <Little_Gloom> 3> We've been at peace with Final Stripe (unofficially, of course) for over two years now. Considering the amount of medical assistance our "mobile" hospital has provided, I'd hope they'd let us know if we were in any sort of danger. Especially since we're still treating four zebras.
  245. [2014-04-02 18:42:56] * Golden_Dream gives Get_Lost an understanding nod. "Yeah, I didn't really get t' make a whole lot of friends, either." She raises an eyebrow. "But, uh. Ya'll're better on that unwilling patients part, right?"
  246. [2014-04-02 18:43:17] * Shatara sits beside Get_Lost and rests a wing across.
  247. [2014-04-02 18:44:23] * Get_Lost "at some point i decided to not try to implant home made cyber legs on sleeping foals. but it was a bit too late to get forgiven... my fault"
  248. [2014-04-02 18:44:46] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart soars about the building. There are many windows, thickly armored and coated in grime, but still clear enough to see through. The windows in the front look into offices, and into a huge central room with what look like blast doors at the back. The roof has an entrance of its own: a huge freight elevator next to a Griffinchaser pad.
  249. [2014-04-02 18:46:36] * Noble_Heart tilts her head to one side, approaching the freight elevator to attempt to call it. If they were lucky, it might still be functional. But that seemed very unlikely considering the state of the rest of the building. It seemed likely, at this point, she would have to try to teleport within.

  251. [2014-04-02 18:47:54] * CopyCat shrugs and tries knocking on the elevator.
  252. [2014-04-02 18:48:51] * Shatara looks a little uncomfortable. "But you don't do nonconsentual medical procedures anymore...right?"

  254. [2014-04-02 18:49:42] <Little_Gloom> 3> I can't believe it. The sky is full of streaks of cloud, shooting up from the Basin, arching across the sky towards Equestria. Please don't let those be wh$@#!....
  255. [2014-04-02 18:50:32] <Little_Gloom> 3CopyCat knocks. The elevator feels very solid and metal.
  256. [2014-04-02 18:51:58] * Get_Lost "yeah... but you know.... once a crazy scientist, forever a crazy scientist, they say...."
  257. [2014-04-02 18:53:15] * CopyCat adds helpfully. "Definitely an elevator all right."

  259. [2014-04-02 18:53:35] * Bookwright grins in excitement. "An account of the beginning of the last day! This is incredible!"
  260. [2014-04-02 18:57:03] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart checks to control panel for the elevator. Fortunately, it still seems to have power, although the interface seems to have been scrambled. With some jury-rigging and some hacking, the purple alicorn is able to get the doors to open and the elevator moving. Although, notably, the doors open while the elevator is still two floors down.

  262. [2014-04-02 18:57:57] * Noble_Heart peers down through the hole and frowns. "It seems it will not raise any further. We shall have to head down side by hoof." She moved to descend the shaft, assuming it had room enough for her wings.
  263. [2014-04-02 18:59:08] * CopyCat spreads her wings and floats down beside her sister. "Wow Noble, I didn't know you were so good with machines."
  264. [2014-04-02 18:59:30] <Little_Gloom> 3> Four days ago, flashes of colored energy slammed down on the Basin. It was like watching the jungle get spanked by the northern lights. Nurse Cottonseed thinks it must have been a megaspell! One of ours!
  265. [2014-04-02 19:00:06] * Golden_Dream coughs. "Yeah, y' coulda given me a lil' bit of a heads up." She smiled faintly. "Although, t' be honest, I'm gettin' used t' it. Makes me feel cool t' have it on m' leg." Her ear flicks up at Bookie's exclamation. "Um. Good on y', Bookie."
  266. [2014-04-02 19:01:32] * Noble_Heart looks down at the freight elevator as they descend. "We are not normally so good with machines. It is fortunate that most of the damage in this case was to the terminal and not the machinery."
  267. [2014-04-02 19:01:45] <Little_Gloom> 3> It hit the Basin for a good two minutes before stopping. There was some sort of energy backwash that knocked out our power. The terminal cut out in the middle of my last entry. All the medical bots died. The turrets on the wall lost power. I could hear explosions from the minefield... I'm guessing from the patrol bots.
  268. [2014-04-02 19:02:24] * Bookwright 's eyes glisten with the tears of sadness. Or perhaps knowledge? Hard to tell.
  269. [2014-04-02 19:03:28] <Little_Gloom> 3> I'm not hearing anything on the radio but static. Not even Sandy's PipBuck is getting anything. I'm told the military has rigged up communications with Echo Station, but if they've heard anything, they're not saying.

  271. [2014-04-02 19:04:18] <Little_Gloom> 3> I don't know what to think. A lot of the ponies here are in a state of near panic. I took this assignment because I don't have family back home, but most of them do.
  272. [2014-04-02 19:04:22] <Little_Gloom> 3> Or... did.

  274. [2014-04-02 19:05:14] * Shatara wanders over and readsthe terminal with Bookwright.
  275. [2014-04-02 19:07:13] <Little_Gloom> 3The freight elevator is huge, the shaft large enough for Noble_Heart and CopyCat to spread their wings and glide down with plenty of room to spare. The elevator looks like it could fit a train engine.
  276. [2014-04-02 19:07:37] * Bookwright points at the screen. "This is a journal of the last day! Before our eyes are the very words typed out here by a pony as she saw the world end! Isn't it fascinating!?"

  278. [2014-04-02 19:08:03] * Bookwright grins at Shatara, clearly expecting him to share his excitement.
  279. [2014-04-02 19:08:33] * Noble_Heart frowns as she lands on the transport elevator. "We wonder what might have required such a massive transport system." She looks for any controls, getting the elevator to move down to the ground floor would be ideal. Better to start there, where there might be the check-in and safety precautions, after all.
  280. [2014-04-02 19:08:49] <Little_Gloom> 3> It's been a week, and still no word from Canterlot, the Lunar Royal Military or the Ministry of Peace. Nothing from Equestria at all.
  281. [2014-04-02 19:09:07] * Shatara frowns quietly. His eyes reflect understanding of the gravity of the words before him.
  282. [2014-04-02 19:10:46] <Little_Gloom> 3> To say that I'm worried is an understatement. I cannot help but entertain the darkest fantasies. There is a sense of dull dread here. Already, a quarter of the staff has left, forming a caravan with a bunch of folks from Good Pony and a small number of soldiers. They intend to cross Shattered Hoof Ridge and into Equestria proper.
  283. [2014-04-02 19:10:55] * CopyCat lands gently on the platform. "Perhaps they could bring the vehicle we saw above inside?"
  284. [2014-04-02 19:12:21] <Little_Gloom> 3> No matter what they find, it will take weeks at least to hear back from them. And that's only if they can get a pegasus messanger. My friend in the military says they are assuming something has happened to Echo Station. They're sending, but aren't getting anything back in return.
  285. [2014-04-02 19:13:50] <Little_Gloom> 3> We're good on medical supplies for a while, but if we can't get resupplied, we will run out sooner or later. Food is better -- we have the orchard over at Good Pony, and it doesn't look like they'll be exporting what they pickle anytime soon.
  286. [2014-04-02 19:14:37] * Golden_Dream sighs and sits down on a relatively clean bed, waiting for the alicorns to come around with some of those suits.
  287. [2014-04-02 19:16:13] <Little_Gloom> 3The alicorns feel a powerful warmth drifting up from the elevator shaft.
  288. [2014-04-02 19:17:41] <Little_Gloom> 3There is a grinding sound from below. The elevator sounds... unstable.
  289. [2014-04-02 19:17:43] * Bookwright "So it used to be an orchard, huh? I wonder why it's all radioactive now..."

  291. [2014-04-02 19:18:30] * CopyCat s' wings billow out in the warm gust like Mareilyn Monroe's dress.
  292. [2014-04-02 19:19:26] * Shatara shakes head. "That can't be good!"
  293. [2014-04-02 19:19:39] * Noble_Heart frowns and blinks. She spreads her wings slightly and moves off the elevator. "Perhaps we should attempt to find the stairs? This elevator does not seem likely to hold much longer."
  294. [2014-04-02 19:20:54] * CopyCat ear twitches at the grinding sound. "Agreed. Less dance parties, more finding stairs." She lifts off gently and looks around for any door leading off the elevator shaft.
  295. [2014-04-02 19:21:02] <Little_Gloom> 3> This will likely be my last entry. We've begun rationing everything, including power. The generators won't last much longer if we don't, so we can't spare energy on non-essentials like the terminals.
  296. [2014-04-02 19:21:07] * Shatara feathers bristle for some unfathomable reason. Huh.
  297. [2014-04-02 19:23:03] <Little_Gloom> 3> Explosions out in the minefield woke everyone up this morning. Refugees from the zebra lands, attempting to cross over. We sent out the Griffinchaser, but several had already lost their lives. Those who hadn't pointed guns but thankfully didn't fire.
  298. [2014-04-02 19:23:07] * Bookwright taps his hoof contemplatively. "Interesting. They can't spare power for this terminal anymore so they plan to shut it off... but when I got here, it was on!"
  299. [2014-04-02 19:24:19] <Little_Gloom> 3> We're treating their injuries as best we can, but I've never seen wounds like this. Communication is becoming a problem as both of our translators were on the first caravan out, but fortunately one of the zebras we were treating when... well, I think, when the war ended... has picked up enough Equestrian to help.

  301. [2014-04-02 19:27:44] <Little_Gloom> 3> We have power! (We've taken to celebrating the small victories, so there is a party at the commons in Good Pony tonight.)
  302. [2014-04-02 19:29:10] * Bookwright "Oh! Well, okay." He reads on.
  303. [2014-04-02 19:29:37] <Little_Gloom> 3> The surviving ponies at New Futures have hooked us up. They say we've got enough power to run everything here and along the entire wall indefinitely.
  304. [2014-04-02 19:30:13] <Little_Gloom> 3> Which... I have to admit... makes me wonder. If they could do that, what the hell was everyone fighting for these last twenty years?
  305. [2014-04-02 19:31:05] <Little_Gloom> 3> Oh, as a side note: it's been just over a month since my previous entry.
  306. [2014-04-02 19:33:24] <Little_Gloom> 3> For the first three weeks, it was just us, the military and the folks over at Good Pony. New Futures was locked up tight... whatever knocked out our systems sealed that building with everybody inside. Took them this long to get out, and not many of them did. I don't know what went on in there, but from the haunted looks in some of their eyes, I'm glad.
  307. [2014-04-02 19:35:27] * Golden_Dream kind of shrugs at that. "I always thought that these terminals just made their own power or somethin'."
  308. [2014-04-02 19:36:10] * Golden_Dream looks at her leg. "Ah mean, how do these things stay powered?" She tinks the pipbuck on the bed.
  309. [2014-04-02 19:36:14] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart and CopyCat easily find a way out of the elevator shaft: a set of elevator doors that didn't close fully due to a fallen trash bin. The hall beyond is brightly lit... and full of pony skeletons.
  310. [2014-04-02 19:36:33] * Shatara tilts his head. "Uh...magic?"
  311. [2014-04-02 19:37:03] <Little_Gloom> 3> Overmare Entry #7
  312. [2014-04-02 19:37:08] * Golden_Dream ponders for a moment, and then accepts that answer. Stupid cheater magic. Making things not make sense.
  313. [2014-04-02 19:37:41] * CopyCat lands in the corridor and looks over the skeletons impassively.
  314. [2014-04-02 19:37:44] * Bookwright gives Shatara a quizzical look. "Magic? Seriously? You do know that any sufficiently analyzed magic is science, right? How can you call yourself a mechanic and not know how these are powered?"
  315. [2014-04-02 19:38:02] * Noble_Heart frowns, moving to force the doors open with her magic for CopyCat, waiting for the other alicorn to move through before she followed. "IT would seem that the ponies here were not so fortunate as to escape... Given that this building seems to be the source of the radiation, this should not be surprising. It is, however, saddening..."
  316. [2014-04-02 19:38:04] <Little_Gloom> 3> I can't believe I'm saying this. I'm not one to breach the confidence of a mare's dying confession. But... This is too big, and too awful.
  317. [2014-04-02 19:38:19] <Little_Gloom> 3> Wonderglue is made of ponies.
  318. [2014-04-02 19:38:23] * Bookwright softens his countenance. "Don't worry about it Shatara. I'll teach you all about it when we make camp!"
  319. [2014-04-02 19:38:50] * Bookwright pales
  320. [2014-04-02 19:39:08] * Bookwright regains color, but this color is green
  321. [2014-04-02 19:39:26] <Little_Gloom> 3> The Good Pony complex has workers housing, the orchard, the pickling factory, the Wonderglue factory, and the incinerators.
  322. [2014-04-02 19:39:48] * CopyCat blinks and shakes her head. When she looks back she is visibly upset by the remains in the corridor.
  323. [2014-04-02 19:40:38] * Shatara looks away. "I-I never thought about what the power-y-thing did! It doesn't have any moving parts!"
  324. [2014-04-02 19:41:03] <Little_Gloom> 3> The last isn't supposed to be in any way affiliated with the others. The Lunar Royal Military gave Good Pony huge grants in return for the company taking on the task of cremating the bodies of fallen soldiers and transporting their ashes back to Equestria proper... to their families, their loved ones. To military burials.
  325. [2014-04-02 19:42:31] <Little_Gloom> 3> The incinerator was out here because it was close to the battle lines. Carting thousands of dead bodies back to Equestria was considered... horrid. Unbecoming. A mistreatment of the dead. So Luna instituted cremation.
  326. [2014-04-02 19:42:36] <Little_Gloom> 3> But...
  327. [2014-04-02 19:43:27] <Little_Gloom> 3> But... one her deathbed, Mrs. Wonder confessed that, before cremating the bodies of Equestria's fallen...
  328. [2014-04-02 19:43:34] <Little_Gloom> 3> I'm going to be sick.
  329. [2014-04-02 19:44:11] <Little_Gloom> 3> She said she was told in a dream. A giant, black, skeletal alicorn told her just what to remove, and how to use it.
  330. [2014-04-02 19:44:57] <Little_Gloom> 3> How could any pony become so twisted?
  331. [2014-04-02 19:45:11] * Shatara starts to wonder if is the only one who doesn't do whatever ominous phantasmal beings tell them to.
  332. [2014-04-02 19:46:50] * Noble_Heart frowns, moving throught he hallways as carefully as she could manage. Not wishing to crush the skeletons beneath her hooves as she went. They needed to find the radiation suits. And stairs. She checked side-rooms out of curiosity as they went.
  333. [2014-04-02 19:47:55] * Bookwright searches frantically for a bucket
  334. [2014-04-02 19:48:44] <Little_Gloom> 3Noble_Heart and CopyCat are begin searching. It doesn't take them long to find what the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well sent them looking for. A room, the door torn from its fastenings, filled with lockers and radiation suits.
  335. [2014-04-02 19:49:22] * Noble_Heart blinks, taking a few moments to try a few of the lockers. More out of curiosity than anything else. Radiation suits would come next.
  336. [2014-04-02 19:50:12] <Little_Gloom> 3On the other side is a large, round, Stable-like door with a bright radiation symbol. Above is a sign reading "To the Future!" To the side, a warning sign proclaiming in bright red letters: ABSOLUTELY NO ENTRY WITHOUT FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR.
  337. [2014-04-02 19:51:27] * Golden_Dream looks at Bookie. The hell? "Shatara, what the hell did ya'll read on that there terminal?"
  338. [2014-04-02 19:52:07] * Bookwright finds a wastebasket only just in time.
  339. [2014-04-02 19:52:19] * CopyCat looks at the torn-off hinges with wide eyes. "What could have done that?" She carefully folds up what suits she can carry.
  340. [2014-04-02 19:54:59] * Shatara tilts his head at Bookwright. "Just that I guess some creepy aparition told a prewar pony to make glue out of pony parts, and she was all like 'k'. Seems kinda shady, but it's not like they were using their parts anymore..."
  341. [2014-04-02 19:56:11] * Bookwright "You wouldn't be so sanguine if they were frying unfertilized griffin eggs! After all, you're not 'using them', right!?"
  342. [2014-04-02 19:56:49] <Little_Gloom> 3> Overmare Entry #8
  343. [2014-04-02 19:56:56] * Shatara tilts his head in further confusion. "Eggs?"
  344. [2014-04-02 19:57:53] * Golden_Dream hung her head and just let that idea mull around her head a little. "You're serious, aren't you?" She doesn't even need him to respond. "What th' hell, why were folks back then so easy t' screw up in th' head?"
  345. [2014-04-02 19:58:08] <Little_Gloom> 3> It's been three months. Still no word back from any of the caravans we have sent. Most have given up hope of hearing anything from home. A lot of those here just want to stay, call this place home. It's been home for years.
  346. [2014-04-02 19:59:38] <Little_Gloom> 3> We've been losing a lot of long-term patients recently. Several of the New Futures ponies have died from terrible burns that just seemed to get worse and worse. Some of the zebra refugees have succumb to a sickness I can't even begin to explain.
  347. [2014-04-02 20:00:32] * Bookwright "It occurs to me that I have no idea how the pony megaspells work..."
  348. [2014-04-02 20:00:40] <Little_Gloom> 3> Worse, the guards at the wall reported seeing... things moving in the minefield.
  349. [2014-04-02 20:01:02] <Little_Gloom> 3> Whatever they are, the don't seem to be setting off any of the mines buried out there.
  350. [2014-04-02 20:01:36] <Little_Gloom> 3> I'm worried about medical supplies. We're down to our last.
  351. [2014-04-02 20:02:20] <Little_Gloom> 3The lockers have rotting remains of clothing, faded pictures, and pointless personal effects. One locker is filled with a purple glow -- a highly irradiated Nuka~Cola Rad.
  352. [2014-04-02 20:04:25] <Little_Gloom> 3> Overmare Entry #9
  353. [2014-04-02 20:05:09] <Little_Gloom> 3> They did it. Equestria and the Zebras wiped each other out. The war is over. Everyone lost. Everyone.
  354. [2014-04-02 20:05:14] * Noble_Heart tilts her head to one side, she pulls the Nuka~Cola Rad out and offers it to CopyCat. "You should have this. We still have a remaining bottle of Rainbow Crash in Our bags." She moves to begin collecting the radiation suits. "Take as many as you can carry. Get Lost or Shatara should be able to use them to repair one another. With luck we may be able to get enough in decent
  355. [2014-04-02 20:05:15] * Noble_Heart condition to help Our friends."
  356. [2014-04-02 20:05:24] =-= Bookwright is now known as newnicknamegoeshere
  357. [2014-04-02 20:05:27] <Little_Gloom> 3> I dreaded this day. We have confirmation of what happened.
  358. [2014-04-02 20:05:35] =-= newnicknamegoeshere is now known as Bookwright
  359. [2014-04-02 20:06:08] * CopyCat takes the bottle. "Thanks Noble." She says from under a small mountain of Rad suits.
  360. [2014-04-02 20:08:05] <Little_Gloom> 3> About three in the morning, we were awoken to a massive explosion beyond the wall. An Equestrian warship had hit the sea mines along the isthmus. Fortunately, most of their crew was able to evacuate, and they brought as many of their provisions and medical supplies as they could carry with them.
  361. [2014-04-02 20:09:29] * Noble_Heart loads up with as many radiation suits as she can carry, heading back towards the elevator. "We have little doubt that some of Our friends will want to find out more about this place. But first they need protection..."
  362. [2014-04-02 20:12:10] * CopyCat staggers out of the door after Noble_Heart.
  363. [2014-04-02 20:12:13] <Little_Gloom> 3> The warship, /Sir Magnet/, had been looking for safe harbor after Baltimare was hit by a zebra megaspell. According to the crew, there's not much left of Equestria. The megaspells left the air too poisonous to dare get within dozens of miles of shore.
  364. [2014-04-02 20:12:57] <Little_Gloom> 3> I fear all those whom we have waved to as they headed homeward are lost.
  365. [2014-04-02 20:15:33] * Bookwright is riveted to this account
  366. [2014-04-02 20:16:10] <Little_Gloom> 3> Overmare Entry #10
  367. [2014-04-02 20:16:27] <Little_Gloom> 3> With any luck, this really will be my final entry.
  368. [2014-04-02 20:18:02] <Little_Gloom> 3> We're leaving. We can't stay. The orchard is polluted.
  369. [2014-04-02 20:20:03] * Bookwright "Well, noticed that myself..."
  370. [2014-04-02 20:20:11] <Little_Gloom> 3> I finally got my answer. New Futures new energy source creates a massive amount of highly radioactive waste. Enough that they filled the underground reservoir they had built for it to capacity within the first few months of testing. They've been sending the waste by train all across Equestria, finding new dumpsites to store it.
  371. [2014-04-02 20:20:19] |<-- Genevieve has left irc.canternet.org (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.90.1 [Firefox 28.0/20140314220517])
  372. [2014-04-02 20:22:02] <Little_Gloom> 3> Or, I guess, building them. Apparently, Twilight Sparkle herself prevented them from just dumping it into the ocean or down a mountain canyon.
  373. [2014-04-02 20:22:03] * Bookwright "Huh. I think I might have just found the power source of New Equestria!"
  374. [2014-04-02 20:22:44] <Little_Gloom> 3> Why she would want the waste stored within Equestria's borders I cannot begin to imagine.
  375. [2014-04-02 20:23:39] <Little_Gloom> 3> Unfortunately for us, New Futures' underground containment didn't do so hot at containing.
  376. [2014-04-02 20:23:54] * Shatara feels a ping of familiarity at the mention of this waste. "Huh, I think the Waste Valley ghoul settlement was one of those..."
  377. [2014-04-02 20:24:20] * Noble_Heart spread her wings as they reached the elevator shaft, flying upwards as quick as she could. She looked back to make sure CopyCat was keeping up.
  378. [2014-04-02 20:24:50] <Little_Gloom> 3> Their crap has been seeping into the land, following the bedrock. The orchard's fruit is already becoming unhealthy.
  379. [2014-04-02 20:25:39] * CopyCat appears to be a vaugely alicorn-shaped mass of radiation suits, but she is keeping up with Noble as best she can.
  380. [2014-04-02 20:27:17] <Little_Gloom> 3> It's still edible, but contains traces of radiation, has taken a sickly pallor, and is starting to grow tiny tumors. I have recommended against eating the mutated fruid (which Nurse Cottonseed has un-affectionately named "mutfruit").
  381. [2014-04-02 20:28:58] <Little_Gloom> 3> There is considerable debate on where we shoudl go. We know that we cannot return to Equestria. However, the military insists the zebra lands will be no safer. Tonight, I think I'll toss my vote for the Crystal Empire.
  382. [2014-04-02 20:29:17] <Little_Gloom> 3There are no more entries from the Overmare.
  383. [2014-04-02 20:30:40] * Bookwright steps back. "Wow. Wotta story."
  384. [2014-04-02 20:32:56] * Shatara frowns. "I wonder what happened to them...did they make it? Wasn't the crystal empire hidden?"
  385. [2014-04-02 20:33:40] * Bookwright "I don't think they made it to the crystal empire, assuming they went that way."
  386. [2014-04-02 20:34:21] <Little_Gloom> 3(seeping into the water table :P )
  387. [2014-04-02 20:37:41] * Golden_Dream looks concerned by something else. "Question. Shatara, what do y' know about th' 'creepy' apparition?"
  388. [2014-04-02 20:38:54] * Noble_Heart heads back towards the medical area. She had absorbed quite a lot of radiation, which wasn't such a bad thing for an alicorn, but would likely be terrible for any other sort of pony.
  389. [2014-04-02 20:39:16] * Shatara shrugs a little. "Just what was in the log, why?"
  390. [2014-04-02 20:39:35] * Golden_Dream rolls her hoof. "What exactly was in th' log?"
  391. [2014-04-02 20:40:56] * Bookwright "It's a diary of a doctor, detailing the days after the war. It talks about several interesting things, including the *urp* source of Wonderglue."
  392. [2014-04-02 20:41:49] * CopyCat wobbles back towards the medical area.
  393. [2014-04-02 20:43:10] <Little_Gloom> 3Shatara remembers the reapers all too clearly. Black, skeletal ponies, most of them with horns and wings. He also remembers that the burning-hooved one spoke to Bonaparte in a dream, apparently much more communicative to those who sleep than to those awake.
  394. [2014-04-02 20:44:25] * Shatara ponders. "Come to think of it...the description did sound a whole lot like them reaper-things you saw...and Bonaparte talked tothem in a dream too..."
  395. [2014-04-02 20:46:33] <Little_Gloom> 3Golden_Dream cannot help but think of the Wonderglue factory somewhere deep in Froggy Bottom Bog.
  396. [2014-04-02 20:47:03] * Golden_Dream scratches her chin. "So, d'y' think that maybe th' reaper-things did th' talkin?" She sighed. "So, wait. D'y'think wonderglue has somethin' t' do with reapers?"
  397. [2014-04-02 20:47:27] * Shatara scrunchbeaks. "Why would spirit-things want glue?"
  398. [2014-04-02 20:47:56] * Bookwright "Maybe to make sure that the bodies were destroyed?"
  399. [2014-04-02 20:48:09] * Golden_Dream thinks about it. "Maybe it's how they get around. I mean, say I'm a fire spirit. Wouldn't I want a bunch of fire everywhere t' make sure I have some influence?"
  400. [2014-04-02 20:48:24] * Shatara 's scrunch shifts to a deep frown. "...and he was making those symbols out of bones..."
  401. [2014-04-02 20:48:36] <Little_Gloom> 3She's never seen it before, but she knows it's there. Somewhere. Out near the SRAC, supposedly. Hard to tell. It's one of those places in the swamp that is really hard to find, especially if you want to. The Mists of the Swamp get extra-shifty around there.
  402. [2014-04-02 20:49:40] * CopyCat "Hello everypony, we have returned!" CopyCat's voice comes from under a moving pile of radiation suits. The only actual sign that there is a pony under there is her horn (currently pink) poking out of the top.
  403. [2014-04-02 20:50:43] * Bookwright cheefuls up. "You're back! How was the radiation?"
  404. [2014-04-02 20:50:54] * Shatara 's disturbing dot-connection is interupted by the princess procession.
  405. [2014-04-02 20:51:20] * Golden_Dream finishes off her statement. "Which means that bones might just be what they draw on. And it got around everywhere." She nodded in a thought. "I mean, it explains things. If ghosts can possess y' against yer will, what's t' say spirits can't pull it off either?"
  406. [2014-04-02 20:52:15] * CopyCat sits down, becoming an immobile pile of protective suits with a horn. "It was tingly."
  407. [2014-04-02 20:52:32] * Golden_Dream blinks. Oh! "Hey there pile'a suits. Did y' see Copycat around?"
  408. [2014-04-02 20:53:35] * Noble_Heart steps in to the building shortly after CopyCat. "We have returned as well." She was as well festooned with excessive numbers of radiation suits. "These were not in ideal condition, but We have hope that Shatara will be able to fashion a few useful sets from them."
  409. [2014-04-02 20:53:50] * Bookwright scribbles in a notebook. "Tingly good? Tingly bad? Was it warm? Cold? Electric?"
  410. [2014-04-02 20:55:03] * CopyCat 's pile looks around at itself. "I'm sure she's in here somewhere..."
  411. [2014-04-02 20:55:07] * Shatara begins poking through all the suits, gauging thier condition and what work will be required.
  412. [2014-04-02 20:57:53] * Noble_Heart slumps and carefully begins to work on getting the suits off safeuly. "It was radiation. Warm. Comfortable. Wonderful. For Us. Deadly for anyone not of Our family. And it is very strong. It is hard to gauge exactly how strong without a PipBuck or other detector. But enough so to be easily felt throughout the entire building, parking lot and beyond. We would recommend wearing
  413. [2014-04-02 20:57:54] * Noble_Heart your radiation suits at all times."
  414. [2014-04-02 20:58:33] * Bookwright "Awesome, thanks!"
  415. [2014-04-02 20:58:45] * Bookwright finishes writing in his notebook and stows it away.
  416. [2014-04-02 20:59:16] * CopyCat 's pile nods. "Noble is right. Even with these suits exploring that building will have to be very brief at best. Did you find any medical supplies for the radiation?"
  417. [2014-04-02 20:59:38] * Bookwright "Eh... not really."
  418. [2014-04-02 21:00:15] <Little_Gloom> 3--- End of Session ---
