  2. [2014-03-22 15:55:28] <SpiritOfFate> ===================================================
  3. [2014-03-22 15:56:44] -->| Ignis (Ignis@Pony-3od.j9r.103.189.IP) has joined #FoEG0
  4. [2014-03-22 15:58:47] <SpiritOfFate> Through the hissing of the radio, you can hear the snoring noises of whoever is on the slaver side of the transmission
  5. [2014-03-22 16:00:36] * Royal_Lace looks around at the others, she was mid step to leave the room but from the look of it no pony ells was going to step up and do this. Sighing she steps forward to the mic and clears her throat, "Pardom me but is anybeing reciving me over this channel?"
  6. [2014-03-22 16:04:29] * Firefly frowns at the radio. "If that doesn't wake the sleepyhead, I think I can." The filly has a slightly evil grin on her face.
  7. [2014-03-22 16:06:03] * Sotho blinsk, looking at Firefly.
  8. [2014-03-22 16:07:01] * Ignis sighs, looking at the radio with the others. "You'd imagine they would have their ears glued to it since they're on the run..."
  9. [2014-03-22 16:07:11] <SpiritOfFate> "Mrmm? Why leg... ruby baconrmm." The gruff voice mumbles, then resumes snoring.
  10. [2014-03-22 16:08:10] * Hawkeye grimaces and walks over next to Lace. "You mind? Ah can wake him, without the filly needin' to get herself in trouble." She shoots a glare at Firefly.
  11. [2014-03-22 16:08:23] * Sotho snickers. "Let the filly have her fun." He says
  12. [2014-03-22 16:08:51] * Hawkeye shrugs. "Unless she's got a tuba or somethin' Ah ain't seen..."
  13. [2014-03-22 16:10:15] * Firefly snorts. "Ok then mister. Wakey wakey..." She looks up at Hawkeye and rolls her eyes. "I won't get in trouble... he will, since he's asleep! Oh... you all might want to cover your ears..."
  14. [2014-03-22 16:10:56] * Royal_Lace covers her ears
  15. [2014-03-22 16:11:01] * Hawkeye grumbles and holds her hooves over her ears.
  16. [2014-03-22 16:12:25] * Ignis presses his claws towards his own ears
  17. [2014-03-22 16:12:53] * Wintergreen covers her ears!
  18. [2014-03-22 16:13:30] * Firefly pulls out some cloth and wedges it into her ears before taking the microphone. She clicks it on and moves it infront of the speakers. After a few seconds of high pitched squeal being broadcast through the microphone, she clicks it off and pushes it back in front of Royal Lace. "There you go!"
  19. [2014-03-22 16:14:48] * Hawkeye has her mane standing on end, despite covering her ears. "Gee, th-thanks, half-pint," she says with a tic in her eye.
  20. [2014-03-22 16:16:19] <SpiritOfFate> <Ah, sirens, no bom!> You hear a loud thump through the mic. <Ugh... Farm and Orchards, who is this?>
  21. [2014-03-22 16:16:36] * Royal_Lace shakes her head, her mane flying about as she takes the mic in her magic from Firefly, eyes rattling around form the high pitched feedback. "Thank you dear... please try and refrain from that again"
  22. [2014-03-22 16:16:42] * Wintergreen giggles once her wince subsides, giving Firefly a pat. "Good job."
  23. [2014-03-22 16:17:29] * Royal_Lace Turns back to the mic, "Yes hello? Do I have the pleasure of speaking to a represetitive of the overgrowth facility?"
  24. [2014-03-22 16:17:42] * Firefly sticks her tongue out at Lace. "Well then, maybe he shouldn't be asleep when I could be talking to my momma." The filly harrumphs and sits, looking both grumpy and self-satisfied.
  25. [2014-03-22 16:18:39] * Hawkeye shushes Firefly. "This ain't your momma," she says in hushed tones close to the filly's head. "This is the folks who are keepin' her locked up, now shut up if y'all don't want to give us trouble gettin' her free."
  26. [2014-03-22 16:19:09] * Firefly nods. "Ok... I'm gonna go back to work on the griff-bot, ok?"
  27. [2014-03-22 16:20:06] <SpiritOfFate> <Yes, it is his place. This is Barker, is pony making an order?> He says, seeming annoyed.
  28. [2014-03-22 16:20:37] * Sotho chuckles and pats Firefly lightly. "I think that was rather smart."
  29. [2014-03-22 16:22:42] * Royal_Lace nods dispite his inability to see him, "Yes I am in fact, well so long as you have what I am currently in the market for that is. My assiciates and myself are looking for Pegasus ponies, would you be able to tell me if you have any on hoof, or paw rather?
  30. [2014-03-22 16:22:45] <Royal_Lace> "
  31. [2014-03-22 16:24:45] * Ignis holds his head down and shakes it back and forth, disbeliefingly. "This ain't gonna work...we need somepony less refined, or else...they ain't gonna bait, or even understand." He says to the others, off from the mic's range.
  32. [2014-03-22 16:25:35] <SpiritOfFate> <Yes?> He seems confused. <Some pegasuses, but this sells vegetable and fruit. Does pony want slave market frequency?>
  33. [2014-03-22 16:26:19] * Royal_Lace Face hooves, "Yes please, that would be wonderful. If you could share that frequency with me I would be most abliged"
  34. [2014-03-22 16:26:20] * Hawkeye nudges the dragon. "If they ask, she's muh accountant," Hawkeye says. "Ah ain't the smoothest sort, so the 'less refined' bit fits me fine if it comes to that."
  35. [2014-03-22 16:28:21] * Ignis nods. "I guess we're gonna need you up there pretty soon...she sure needs to tone down there, she's talking to semi-savage hounds, not the princess' entourage..."
  36. [2014-03-22 16:29:17] <Hawkeye> "With any luck, they'll pass her off to someone more in charge," Hawkeye says. "Ah trust Lace. She'll manage. Besides, when it comes down to specifics, Ah got a plan."
  37. [2014-03-22 16:30:41] * Hawkeye nudges Lace briefly. "Ah don't think we want that one," she says. "Stay on this frequency, as we wanna look at the ones they have there, not the market."
  38. [2014-03-22 16:31:54] <Ignis> "Yeah, I trust Lace aswell...the ones who I don't trust are those fleabags on the other side of the line..." The dragon makes a belching grimace, wrinkling his nose.
  39. [2014-03-22 16:31:56] <SpiritOfFate> <Here. Is 80.8.> The Barker says.
  40. [2014-03-22 16:33:08] * Royal_Lace "Thank you ever so much". Turning Lace looks to Firefly, "Could you pull up that frequency for us dear?"
  41. [2014-03-22 16:34:20] * Hawkeye shakes her head. "Lace," she says, keying off the mic, "Firefly's folks ain't AT the market. We want to look at the slaves they have THERE. Not anyplace else." She frowns. "Ah don't want to be chasin' every pegapony in this area around when we already know where Firefly's folks is."
  42. [2014-03-22 16:34:46] * Firefly pokes at the radio, changing the frequency to the requested frequency.
  43. [2014-03-22 16:35:07] <Hawkeye> "Maybe we can ask permission to look at the ones they have there, specifically for aggerculture?"
  44. [2014-03-22 16:35:33] * Ignis facepalms. "Just say that we wish to browse the market, that's pretty much it."
  45. [2014-03-22 16:36:19] * Royal_Lace face hooves again, "Oh yes... that makes sense, sorry I should have realized that. Firefly im sorry but can you switch it back?"
  46. [2014-03-22 16:37:09] * Hawkeye pats Royal_Lace. "Or ask the folks at the market if we can go look at aggerculture specific pegasus ponies at Overgrowth, but it'd be faster just to talk to them pups, Ah think."
  47. [2014-03-22 16:37:30] * Firefly raises an eyebrow and switches it back.
  48. [2014-03-22 16:38:15] * Sotho sits back and waits, not too sure what to do.
  49. [2014-03-22 16:38:18] * Hawkeye looks at Lace and takes the mic. "You want me to play the bad mare? Ah can do that without really tryin. Bein' a bandit and all."
  50. [2014-03-22 16:39:15] * Royal_Lace waves a hoof, "Be my guest, Im afraid I may come off as a bit of a goof if I where to call back myself anyway"
  51. [2014-03-22 16:40:11] <SpiritOfFate> Meanwhile Knick Knack is scrubbing a plate at the kitchen, seeming grossed out.
  52. [2014-03-22 16:40:55] * Hawkeye nods. "Then Ah'm gonna take advantage of that, no offense," she says with a grin, and keys the mic on again. "Hey, is this Barker?" she asks in a sour tone. "Muh accountant has a tendency to gild lilies when she don't have to. And Ah ain't interested in talkin' turkey with no radio operater who falls asleep on the job. Where's your boss?"
  53. [2014-03-22 16:41:06] <SpiritOfFate> Tamara went outside to discuss the next steps with their troops.
  54. [2014-03-22 16:41:54] * Sotho trots towards the kitchen and helps Knick Knack, smiling.
  55. [2014-03-22 16:42:54] <SpiritOfFate> <Er, I do not fall asleep. I, er... breathe bad, no need to call boss.> Barker says, worried.
  56. [2014-03-22 16:45:17] <Hawkeye> "Brahminpiles," Hawkeye snaps. "Ah heard you snoring like a chainsaw chewin' metal fencing. Now listen up, cuz' Ah'm only gonna say this once. Ah'm in the market for a particular kind of slave, and I ain't wasting my FUCKING time on the pissant ponies they have at the market. I want aggerculture-trained pegasi. One male, one female, prefer'bly some that are fond of each other already,...
  57. [2014-03-22 16:45:19] <Hawkeye> ...because Ah need breeders. You got me? Or do you still have a bunch of sleep stuck in them pointy ears?"
  58. [2014-03-22 16:47:43] <SpiritOfFate> <Ah, that. Pony wants special slaves. Will call boss.> You hear the dog moving away from the mic.
  59. [2014-03-22 16:48:20] * Hawkeye keys off the mic for a moment and takes a deep breath. "So far so good," she says with a grimace.
  60. [2014-03-22 16:48:51] * Firefly disappears to go work on the griffbot.
  61. [2014-03-22 16:49:15] * Royal_Lace nods and pats Hawkeye on the back, "You have a gift for making others fear you... Im not sure if that is a good thing or not but I guess it worked out for us this time?"
  62. [2014-03-22 16:50:08] * Hawkeye sighs. "Naw, just absorbed a lot of it from the folk Ah used to hang with, plus, well... as y'all said, Ah ain't the most refined folk. And some ponies only understand rough and violent, so that's what Ah do..."
  63. [2014-03-22 16:52:04] <SpiritOfFate> <Yes... This is Overgrowth, alpha of the mountains and fields. So, you are interested in breeders?> A deep voice says slowly.
  64. [2014-03-22 16:56:37] <Hawkeye> dammit
  65. [2014-03-22 16:56:38] * Hawkeye keys the mic back on. "Eeyup. Finally got someone worth two shits in a hat, Ah see," she say sardonically. "Lookin' fer Pegasi breeders. You got a female still in foal-bearin' years and a male what takes a shine to her?" she asks. "Bein' handy with mining equipment or medicine would be a plus, considerin' muh medic came down with a bad case of high-velocity lead poisoning last week."
  66. [2014-03-22 17:02:08] <SpiritOfFate> <Hmmm. We haven't any pegasi females among our breeders. Just a male. But to want two attached to each other seems so inefficient. You must not be a very skilled breeder.> He says, with some snob amusement.
  67. [2014-03-22 17:04:31] <Hawkeye> "Hey, Ah find that if y'all keep your workers and breeders happy with each other, cooperation works a might better than fear, at least with ponyfolk," she says, then chuckles. "Granted, they're still wearin' bombs around their necks, but it makes it a bit easier when the breeders don't have to worry about a rape culture in addition t'havin' their foals taken away. Makes 'em more likely to...
  68. [2014-03-22 17:04:33] <Hawkeye> ...carry to term without findin' something poison to eat, y'unnerstand?"
  69. [2014-03-22 17:10:02] * Royal_Lace blanches at the mention of poisioning a preganancy and rape
  70. [2014-03-22 17:11:43] <SpiritOfFate> <If you can't secure your breeders, maybe pegasi are a bad idea. They can be unusually troublesome at times.> He pauses. <We had a female pegasus meant for breeding, but she was uncooperative and resisted our treatment.>
  71. [2014-03-22 17:12:02] * Sotho comes back in to the room, just in time to hear that, he moves to Royal lace and lightly nuzzles her
  72. [2014-03-22 17:13:06] * Royal_Lace nuzzles back
  73. [2014-03-22 17:13:32] <SpiritOfFate> Knick Knack has cleaned a good number of dishes.
  74. [2014-03-22 17:15:16] * Hawkeye chuckles. "The happier they are, the less likely they are to try an' escape," Hawkeye says. "Add just a bit of hoplessness and hold one lover over the other as a threat, and they stay in line real nice." She hesitates a moment. "Y'all did have a female but she escaped? Hell, I'll make you a deal. Ah buy your male breeder, an' pay half price for the female, and Ah'll track her down m'self...
  75. [2014-03-22 17:15:17] * Hawkeye ...an' teach her a lesson about escapin. Remind me what that was y'all said about not securing your breeders?" Creepily, Hawkeye looks pleased and smug at the moment.
  76. [2014-03-22 17:16:04] * Wintergreen purses her lips, slightly uncomfortable at Hawkeye's odd smugness.
  77. [2014-03-22 17:21:28] <SpiritOfFate> <It's not necessary. She didn't escape. She had her lesson taught, then was reassigned to charcoal production under supervision.> He pauses. <You should know our breeders are valuable and we don't offer them for the usual price. You will also need their supplements.>
  78. [2014-03-22 17:26:30] * Hawkeye sighs. "Right. Ah heard from another that y'all have some kind of drug program going on there. Don't bother me none. Keep 'em under control however y'can, right?" The charcoal mare snorts. "Also a clever way of jackin' the price up. If Ah weren't on the short end of that stick, Ah'd approve. Ah like you, mister. You're one right clever bastard." The mare tips her hat back and leans into the...
  79. [2014-03-22 17:26:32] * Hawkeye ...mic. "Ah understand breeders are valuable. Fuck, that's why I want 'em myself. So Ah'll let you talk turkey with muh accountant on pricing. Ah have to rig up a few more collars. Lace? Talk to this fine gentleman about slave prices an' supplements." She offers the mic to Royal_Lace.
  80. [2014-03-22 17:29:43] * Royal_Lace winces at Hawkeyes use of her name, hopeing that her name is not out in serculation with any of her wanted posters from the scrap yard. "Thank you miss Ill try my best... Now, if we could get down to brass tacks, as the saying gos, im sure we can quickly work out a mutually agreeable price for both pegasus in question"
  81. [2014-03-22 17:33:18] <SpiritOfFate> <...we might have some pegasi in better health in other areas. You would prefer it to an unruly one.>
  82. [2014-03-22 17:33:55] <SpiritOfFate> The deep voiced old dog pauses.
  83. [2014-03-22 17:34:04] * Hawkeye chuckles darkly from behind Lace. "Ah don't think so. Do be a dear and explain how much fun it is to truly break an unruly spirit."
  84. [2014-03-22 17:36:26] * Royal_Lace "If you could not tell from your breif interaction sir with my employer she is... brash, always up for a challenge. I dare say she would not except any other mare but the one you metioned. Its a challeng you see sir, especially after your comments to her practices"
  85. [2014-03-22 17:41:59] <SpiritOfFate> <I see.> He seems amused. <Since you are only starting to breed your slaves, I shall make you a discount. 2000 for the male...>
  86. [2014-03-22 17:42:37] <SpiritOfFate> <...as for the female, 4000 caps.>
  87. [2014-03-22 17:44:11] * Hawkeye tries not to let her jaw drop, but realizes it doesn't matter if anyone sees. She digs around in her saddlebags and puts the now shiny and clean cybernetic eye on the table next to the radio and nods to Lace.
  88. [2014-03-22 17:47:04] * Royal_Lace nods, "I see, yes well I will admit that that is an impressive ammount to set as a starting point for these negotiations. Now for the male I should think that his price can come down quite a bit but we both know she is valuable to my employer but imagine that you can come down on that price at least in part, who ells would be willing to take her off your hoof?"
  89. [2014-03-22 17:50:43] <SpiritOfFate> <Yes, but on the other paw, these daring slaves are so rare around here. Why to keep them all in one place?>
  90. [2014-03-22 17:53:26] * Royal_Lace sighs as she makes a few calcuations in her mind, "Alright then, I can see that I am dealing with someone who knows he is in the seat of power for this deal. I suppose this is how it gos when works for a mare as brash as my employer. 6000 is the price for them both, we may have to liquidate a few assests but we can manage that price. Now, how do we handle delivery of caps and our new property?"
  91. [2014-03-22 17:54:43] <Hawkeye> "Ah need to get a look at 'em first," Hawkeye says with a grumble. "Ah ain't buying property unseen. Gotta check teeth, hips, health, an' the like. Ah ain't buying a stallion with no teeth and a mare with gonasiphaherpaloids."
  92. [2014-03-22 17:56:06] <SpiritOfFate> <Well, that is unfortunate. Maybe I should withdraw this mare from our deal.> He says
  93. [2014-03-22 17:57:00] <Hawkeye> "Why, did y'all beat her to shit and force-feed her eight kinds of vernereal disease as part of the punishment for escaping?" Hawkeye drawls. "Because Ah'm pretty sure both them things is curable."
  94. [2014-03-22 18:02:51] |<-- Hawkeye has left irc.canternet.org (Connection closed)
  95. [2014-03-22 18:03:51] -->| Hawkeye (Dimestream@Pony-999.9mt.76.69.IP) has joined #FoEG0
  96. [2014-03-22 18:04:06] <SpiritOfFate> The old hound barks a chuckle. <I am glad you had such a quick change of heart. I will arrange a group of very well armed hounds and neutral train overseers to make sure this deal happens orderly. We shall meet over the peaceful Last Stop.>
  97. [2014-03-22 18:06:00] * Royal_Lace nods, "Agreed, when?"
  98. [2014-03-22 18:10:09] <SpiritOfFate> <We should have time tomorrow, under the moonlight. Barker, take this back.>
  99. [2014-03-22 18:10:37] * Hawkeye looks at Wintergreen. "Alright, you heard the hound. Tango, get the rest the group ready to go pick up our new breeders." She nods to Lace. "And get our mechanic back from whatever she's working on, because we're moving pronto." The charcoal sniper nudges the mic again. "If Ah wasn't getting screwed, Ah'd say it was a pleasure dealin' with a ruthless bastard such as yourself. Ciao." She...
  100. [2014-03-22 18:10:39] * Hawkeye ...turns off the mic. "Well, that went better than expected..."
  101. [2014-03-22 18:11:23] * Wintergreen nods. Seeing as the others are present to hear Hawkeye as well, she goes off in search for Firefly.
  102. [2014-03-22 18:13:23] * Royal_Lace nods, "yes... we only have to come up with 6000 caps, disguises, and handle a deal with a possibly hostile force Hell hounds... but when everything is said and done, better than expected. Also I think we have faced worse odds before, though I have trouble remembering when..."
  103. [2014-03-22 18:13:36] <Royal_Lace> *force of
  104. [2014-03-22 18:13:48] * Sotho coughs. "The evil spirit of greed?" He asks.
  105. [2014-03-22 18:15:34] <Hawkeye> "You took on this compound and won," Hawkeye says. "And as Sotho points out..." She holds up the shell containing Avaritia. "We've beaten the supernatural already. Ah have good hopes for our success." She looks a little tired, despite her nap earlier. "I... I'm gonna get a glass of water," the sniper says. "Let me know when we're crashing for the night. Ah need some cool night air to clear...
  106. [2014-03-22 18:15:36] <Hawkeye> ...muh head."
  107. [2014-03-22 18:16:00] * Ignis rolls his eyes. "Don't think we're gonna be able to save our asses through singing this time..."
  108. [2014-03-22 18:16:14] * Firefly is continuing work on the Giga Griffbot, and is currently in the process of making it look more batlike.
  109. [2014-03-22 18:17:28] * Royal_Lace yawns, "maybe we should all get some sleep, unless we want to make plans for tommorow before bed?"
  110. [2014-03-22 18:18:29] * Wintergreen watches Firefly work for a moment before clearing her throat, trying to get the little filly's attention.
  111. [2014-03-22 18:18:31] <Hawkeye> "Nah, hopefully we just pay the caps an' walk away," Hawkeye tells Ignis. "If that don't work, we get to fight an army and a death train." She turns to Royal_Lace. "What else is there to plan? Either they know somethin's up and we have to fight, or it goes off without a hitch."
  112. [2014-03-22 18:19:37] * Royal_Lace nods, "Right... well we will have all day tommorow to try and get together the caps needed I suppose. If we all want to go for this I need to sleep so I can manage the teleportation to get us all there early. Good night"
  113. [2014-03-22 18:19:50] * Firefly looks down from on top of the griffbot. "Hi Miss Green! Everything ok?"
  114. [2014-03-22 18:19:52] * Royal_Lace stands and walks out, looking to Sotho as she trots by.
  115. [2014-03-22 18:20:57] * Ignis shrugs. "All in a day's work...still, we should pile up our swag if we come short on the caps' end..." The dragon voices. "I told our shaman that we could use hoofing over a certain gem for services rendered...that might be the case."
  116. [2014-03-22 18:21:07] * Wintergreen nods, smiling to Firefly. "Yes... but we need to get ready to go; to ready ourselves to find save your parents."
  117. [2014-03-22 18:21:31] * Firefly nods solemnly. "Do I need to modify some weapons?"
  118. [2014-03-22 18:24:05] * Sotho follows Royal_Lace closely
  119. [2014-03-22 18:25:52] * Wintergreen shrugs. "Possibly... Hawkeye would know best."
  120. [2014-03-22 18:26:51] * Hawkeye nods as she acquires water from the kitchen. "Them griff weapons need adapted for mouth-firin' because they ain't built that way now," she says.
  121. [2014-03-22 18:27:54] * Firefly nods. "Ok. I'll fly over and see her; shouldn't take me long unless she broke somethin." The filly takes flight and flies back to the house, looking for the bandit mare.
  122. [2014-03-22 18:28:10] * Wintergreen trottrottrots back to the house.
  123. [2014-03-22 18:33:51] * Hawkeye sits on the porch, slowly sipping her glass of water, her hat next to her on the ground.
  124. [2014-03-22 18:34:20] * Firefly lands on the porch nearby. "Miss Green said you might have some stuff you want fixed?"
  125. [2014-03-22 18:34:35] * Ignis browses one of the books
  126. [2014-03-22 18:35:35] * Hawkeye waves a hoof. "Just the weapons for everypony. The pistols should still be fine for Ignis, but there's a custom rifle with a choke that Ah could use modified fer muh face instead of fingers," she says with a sad chuckle. "Ah sure hope we get your folks back okay, sugarcube. Because Ah've had just about enough of all this heartstring-pullin' nonsense."
  127. [2014-03-22 18:38:01] * Firefly smiles and nods. "Ok. And we will... we're the good ponies after all! We always win." The filly nods before pausing. "Uh... where's the stuff you want fixed?"
  128. [2014-03-22 18:39:17] * Hawkeye slides the custom choke shotgun over to Firefly. "There. But you gotta be ready," Hawkeye says, looking out at the clouds. "Sometimes, in the real world, the good guys DON'T win..."
  129. [2014-03-22 18:40:08] * Firefly sticks her tongue out at the clouds and blows a raspberry at them. "They always win in the end. When did you want it?"
  130. [2014-03-22 18:40:28] * Hawkeye shrugs. "Whenever," she says absently. "Before we go get your folks."
  131. [2014-03-22 18:43:38] * Firefly nods. "Ok." The filly takes the shotgun and heads back to the workshop, and comes back with the shotgun in half an hour. "Here you go."
  132. [2014-03-22 18:44:36] * Hawkeye is lying down with her hat over her eyes when Firefly returns. "Thanks," she mumbles and slides the shotgun over to rest in the crook of her foreleg without getting up.
  133. [2014-03-22 18:45:18] * Firefly nods. "No problem... have a nice night!" The filly heads back to the workshop to work on the large griff bot, fallling asleep over the thing before too much longer.
