Group 4 Session 64

<uSeaGM> **Group 4 Session 64**
<uSeaGM> The party are somewhat washed and rested and the moon hangs high in a sky heavy with clouds. The coast is long lost behind them, but the swirling storm over the land is still in view, a sinister speck on the horizon. Thunder Child confidently sails through the dark, inky water as the night deepens around her.
<uSeaGM> When Berry, Milia, and Artifica have finished in the shower, Genie leads the way up onto the main deck. Berry's long fluffy coat is tricky to dry, so the filly has been wrapped in so many towels that she looks like a cocoon with legs. They pass the bunk room and bring Jasmine along too (the griffin still sporting a Carmen Miranda style hat made of bubbles).
<uSeaGM> Up on deck a chill wind blows and the party is reunited beneath the cloudy night sky.
* Whisper looks around expectantly.
<uSeaGM> Strange Mercy *poofs* away and rejoins Milia. Whisper would have to finish discussing the finer points of making little horses with her another time.
* Whisper sighs and exits his hidey-hole. He looks around for somepony to talk to.
* Whisper walks quietly up to the assembled party on deck. "So...what's everypony doing out here?"
* Prism sorta fumes.  "Nothing..."
<uSeaGM> Genie nearly jumps when Whisper speaks. "Ah there you are! We were looking for you. I hope you were all able to get some rest."
* Whisper blushes just a little bit. "Yep. All rested up, that's me."
<Prism> "Would've been better if they weren't vomiting everywhere..."
* Whisper looks supremely embarassed. "It was an accident! Jack didn't tell me how strong that stuff was and I didn't mean to drink so much!" he blurts.
<Prism> "Jack is an asshole."
<Prism> "He's nothing but trouble and you shouldn't believe him anyway."
* Whisper just gapes at Prism, unable to say anything. "Um, anyway I'm sorry for anything I did while I was drunk," he mumbles to Genie.
<uSeaGM> Genie looks aghast. "You poor dears, you weren't seasick were yo- You drank the pirate's grog when they offered it to you?! I'm surprised you can still walk!"
<Whisper> "I was just gonna have a sip. I should've asked about what was in it..."
<uSeaGM> She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and is all smiles again. "Well that's all water under the bridge. Actually, I wanted to show you the armoury.  There's some spare equipment inside that you can have if you like. Since you're here helping us after all."
* Prism nods, and trots to Genie.  "Armory it is."
<Whisper> "Oh, thank you! I mean, that's very generous of you and everything."
* Notify: mimezinga is online (irc.canternet.org).
* ChanServ gives channel operator status to mimezinga
* Jasmine lights up at Genie's explaination. "Armory?! Do you have utility belts? Capes? Maybe SUPER gadgets for taking down bad guys? Let me see! LET ME SEE!"
* mimezinga is now known as Cerberus
* Notify: mimezinga is offline (irc.canternet.org).
<uSeaGM> "Great! It's just below deck. Follow me everypony. Oh, and griffin."
* Cerberus trots after the others after having a good nap on somepony's back
* Whisper follows Genie. Going alone on an unfamiliar ship can be dangerous. And embarassing. Mostly embarassing.
* Jasmine follows Genie closely, anxious to get to the armory. She giggles giddily as she does so
<uSeaGM> The journey lasts an entire minute, but much of the time is spent getting Jasmine to go the right direction instead of charging ahead. "There we are. You can take anything inside. Oh, but it's just one gas mask each."
* Whisper says one last, meek "thanks" before stepping into the armory.
<uSeaGM> Inside are several weapons, boxes of ammo, and sets of armour. There is also a box filled with several dozen gas masks, but they all made to fit equines.
<Prism> Prism wishes they had something longer range/stronger.  Oh well.   He knew a new trick, and thus takes the police pistol, .357 ammo and the trooper armor.   He also eyes the Assault Carbine but decides against it.
<Jasmine> "Ooooooh." Jasmine stares at one of the gas masks in awe. "Its a mask! No one will ever know my identity!" She exclaims and takes one and tries to force it on herself, even though it wasnt made with gryphons in mind. She ends up getting it on, but the eyes are in the wrong spot and she is essentially blind. "HEY! WHO TURNED OUT THE LIIIIGHTS!" she starts to stumble around the armory
* Whisper sighs. He's rather disturbed by how not disturbed he is by Jasmine by this point.
* Cerberus being a good hat, the filly decides to help her carrier "don't worry jas! i can direct you! sit down, take a deep breath and pet a filly! it will look a lot better!"
* Prism also takes a gas mask.
* Jasmine drops what she is doing and immediately sits down. Probably on a box of ammo or something.
* Cerberus takes the mask from the griffon's eyes "here you go!"
* Prism stows the pistol, ammo and mask, and replaces his armor that was in terrible shape with the trooper armor.   He puts the ragged armor where he found the trooper armor, because come on, he wasn't gonna carry that around with him.
* Artifica_ continues to shower with Milia, only appearing to ask for more soap
* Prism then goes and joins Genie.
* Cerberus start digging the MASR, looking at it and hugging it "i like this one! it is cute!"
* Cerberus starts posing with the weapon, tumpling around and making pew pew noises with her voice
<Cerberus> *tumbling
<uSeaGM> Genie smiles at Prism a little awkwardly. "So, umm, did you sleep well? The cabin wasn't too cramped was it?"
<Prism> "Only got a few hours since my friends make poor decisions."
* Cerberus crawls around ambushing ponies. mostly, ambushing jasmine
<uSeaGM> "Well it sounds like it came back to bite them in the flank. Also, I think I now know who kept running into Strawberry Custard."
* Prism tilts his head, and smiles at Genie.   "Hm?"
* Whisper worms his way into a set of trooper barding and gas mask.
* Cerberus aims the rifle at prism "liar. i slept a lot. you don't sleep because you have the grumpy. it's your fault, not our"
<Prism> "Look at what I have to put up with, they insult me, point guns at me...."
<uSeaGM> "One of my friends," Genie explains. "She's a great cook and can almost run the galleys by herself. Anyway, a colt walked in on her in the bathroom and then later appologised when he was 'drunk as a newt'."
* Cerberus raspberries at prism too, since he's complaining it seems a good idea to prove him right
<Prism> "That wasn't me, so it was probably Whisper."
* Cerberus "oooooh, so whisper finally put to some good use that sex manual i gave him! he learns fast!"
* Cerberus puts the MASR away
<uSeaGM> She coughs quietly at Cerberus's announcement. "Yes, I did mean your usually quiet friend."
* Cerberus smiles, proudly "good guy! go get 'em! RAWR!"
* Prism heads back into the armory and takes the Assualt Carbine and some ammo too, grumbling something about not knowing who his enemies actually were.
* Whisper looks up quizically the mumbling Prism, wondering what's gotten into him.
-Global- [Network Notice] Colgate - Cadance will be going down for an update. There will be a short split and services will be down briefly. Anyone connected to cadance can reconnect to irc.canternet.org to be placed on one of the other servers.
* chrysalis.canternet.org gives channel operator status to Artifica
* Whisper shrugs and straps on the .45 Auto Pistol, taking the ammo for it as well.
* Cerberus trots outside the weapon storage and takes a look around, deciding to follow prism because stalking the grumpiest pony seems totally the thing that really matters nao
* Prism heads back to Genie afterward.  "Sorry.  Decided I'd need something with a little more punch than the pistols."
* Whisper looks around. Nopony else has taken the 5.56mm ammo, so he helps himself. Waste not, want not!
* SugarCube is now known as Pony_57368
* Whisper casually walks back out of the armory, looking at Genie and Prism. "Hey guys, what's up?" he offers weakly.
* Prism shakes his head.   "Aside from being insulted and threatened by my supposed companions?  Nothing really."
<Whisper> "Uh...sorry?" Whisper is totally confused.
* Cerberus "psssst! don't forget being stalked!" the filly whispers to prism while sneaking after him
<uSeaGM> Genie looks at Cerberus and can't imagine the adorable ball of fluff doing anything bad. "You don't mean this cute little filly, do you?"
* Shady_Steps is now known as Cloud_Kicker
<Prism> "Where I'm from you don't point a gun at someone without the intent to kill them."   He says warily.  "But not just her, Jack too."
<Whisper> "Jack didn't try to get you drunk too, did he?"
* Cerberus frowns "well, not even where i do come from, actually... ah... sorry? i was just checking the scope, didn't want to shoot you...."
<Prism> "Jack offered it to me, but I refused.  I'd rather not get drunk in case I have to perform emergency surgery or something."
<Prism> "I'd rather not replace someone's liver with a bottle of grog."
* Whisper slumps a little. "I probably should've said no too. There's no telling what I did when I was drunk, and I felt awful when I woke up.
* Cerberus "i asked for it but nopony gave me anything stronger than a half shot of hard cider... and i still think it was apple juice and they tricked me..."
* Artifica_ is a little late to the party, but very, very, very c lean
* Artifica_ looks at the armory offering.  "Thank you, Genie!"
* Artifica_ takes a gas mask, and asks if there is any 5.56 ammo left for her very hungry guns.
<Whisper> "Um, I took the 5.56. You can have it if you want it, though."
* Artifica_ congratulates Berry on the cute MASR and is totally effectively ambushed.
<uSeaGM> Strange Mercy agrees with Artifica_'s clean-ness. Milia was very very... thorough.
* Artifica_ smiles to Whisper, "That would be very helpful.  Will you need any of it though?  We could split it?
<Whisper> "No, I already had over seventy rounds. That's plenty for a gun like this. Maybe I should find a submachine gun, then we won't have to fight over ammo..."
* Whisper fishes out 60 5.56mm rounds and hoofs them over to Arti.
* Artifica_ thanks Whisper and starts installing them in her battle saddle.
<Prism> "Anyway, um, thank you Genie.  I appreciate everything."   He smiles.
* Whisper nods. "Yeah, thanks. This is great stuff."
<uSeaGM> She smiles back and pats Cerberus on the head. "You're welcome. You're here to help us, after all."
* Cerberus is still stalking prism, but with a lot more caution! she checked that all the weapons had failsafes on! best stalker is safe stalker
* Cerberus also, got petted. must mean that she is doing things right
* Red_Line is now known as Jackelmandingo
* Artifica_ takes two sets of trooper barding to use to repair Mila's barding.
* Prism looks at Genie.  "So what are you going to do now, I'm wondering?"
* Artifica_ will be taking a few hours to fix Milia's barding...
* Cerberus since prism doesn't seem to notice or care, the filly decides to crawl until she touches him, the she crawls ON him
<uSeaGM> "Next we'll head up to the bridge. I did promise your griffin friend I'd show her what to do up there."
* Whisper shrugs. "Can I come to the bridge? I'm sober this time..."
<Prism> "Can I help you with anything?"
<uSeaGM> Genie smiles. "Of course, everyone's welcome!"
* Cerberus happy with her new perch, the filly smles and curls into a plushie donut, letting the events bring her to action while she takes a nap
* Artifica_ smiles to Prism.  "You have a friend."
* Prism was not really a big pony.  Nor particularly strong.
<Whisper> "So...are you all her taxis or something?" Whisper dares a small grin at this.
