Tricks & Warm Session 4

[2012-09-19 22:13:40] * Tricks stared in a amazement for a moment at the Alicorn before taking a glance back at Warm. She started to speak but noticed he had other things on his mind. "Hey check--...You okay?"
[2012-09-19 22:16:10] * Warm_Smiles places his hoof back on the floor, "Yeah. Fine." His tone is bitter, colder than normal, and clearly a lie. All that's going through his head is the image of Modd lying limp.
[2012-09-19 22:21:53] * Tricks frowns and smacks the little filly in her head screaming for her to take his saddlebags and run. "I'm going to guess our little avalanche there was your doing..." She reaches out a hoof but pulls it back, unsure of how he'd react.
[2012-09-19 22:25:00] * Warm_Smiles tsks, yes, he was the one who nearly killed everyone. He eventually nods, "That's right... somepony didn't want us in that basement."
[2012-09-19 22:31:25] * Tricks 's little mind filly thanks him for the distraction...which is followed by another hoof to the head. She tries her best to give a comforting smile. This pony needed some cheering up. "Well, everypo--body seems to have gotten out alive. And it looks like you even managed to help an alicorn get his cutie mark...who knew they could even GET cutiemarks???"
[2012-09-19 22:35:02] * Warm_Smiles 's ear flicks at that, and he slowly turns to face Tricks. Everyone was out alive, but he still put them in danger. He turns his attention to the brighter side, "Arx has his cutiemark?"
[2012-09-19 22:38:34] * Tricks tosses her head towards the rest of the group. "Yeah! You didn't notice? He was speaking zebra or something and healed that thief uhh. I mean 'Modd'."
[2012-09-19 22:43:04] * Warm_Smiles glances at the alicorn and nods, "Good." He sighs a little, turning his head to look at the rubble, "... I'll do better next time."
[2012-09-19 22:47:38] * Tricks didn't know how to handle situations like this. So she did the only way she knew how... She gives him a wink. "Maybe I can give you something later. A little 'good luck'." The filly in her head nods in approval. She looks at the downtrodded stallion that clearly is taking his failure to heart. "...Free of charge?" she says in a small voice, making the little filly in her head faint.
[2012-09-19 22:47:57] <Tricks> downtrodden*
[2012-09-19 22:52:07] * Warm_Smiles 's ear twitches at that. Perhaps he had misjudged her character, maybe she wasn't the cold hearted, material mare he had seen all too often through these years. Maybe she was different, only one way to find out. He turns and looks Tricks dead in the eye, "Maybe, but why are you offering me this?"
[2012-09-19 22:58:12] * Tricks stares down at hooves. "I've seen a lot of ponies. Met a lot of ponies. Some decent even. But no one ever actually cares in the wasteland about other ponies...You seem like your actually upset that you nearly got everyone burried under a pile of rubble..." She shakes her head a little confused. "You look like a pony who just needs a break from life in the Wastes for a change."
[2012-09-19 23:05:50] * Warm_Smiles studies Tricks carefully, a slight frown on his face. She was speaking from the heart, that much he could tell. His mind flicks back to the talk he had with Ignis, bringing a sigh, "We can never get a break from the Wastes. But we can get close by finding good fri-... companions and keeping together."
[2012-09-19 23:13:50] * Tricks sighs with a far off look in her eyes. "Never a break from the Wastes...no matter how much a pony deserves one..."
[2012-09-19 23:17:49] * Warm_Smiles glances at the group, studying each one of them, "We struggle, because that's all we can do...." He studies Tricks again, "... you've seen Tartarus already, just living."

[2012-09-19 23:31:30] * Tricks looks Warm in the eyes with the same tired eyes as his. "You too, huh?" she sighs and mutters, as if speaking to herself, "A pony does what she has to in order to survive...Even if it means selling her soul to the demons of Tartarus..."
[2012-09-19 23:32:56] |<-- Laini has left irc.canternet.org:6669 (Quit: )
[2012-09-19 23:36:02] * Warm_Smiles frowns a little, "Doing whatever you can to survive..." That explains her nature, it wasn't out of choice, it was her basic survival instinct. He tsks, turning his head.
[2012-09-19 23:40:42] * Tricks looks back as if about to reach into her saddlebags and then pauses. She only had one thing of Rage left she needed to make it last. She turns away trying to hide a pained look. "A-anyway...maybe we can check that buil--umm. The remains for anything useful? Perhaps the basement is still, mostly, intact?"
[2012-09-19 23:44:37] * Warm_Smiles notices the look, frowning a little. He couldn't put a hoof on what was wrong, but something was bothering the mare. He takes out his pack of cigarettes, taking one out and lighting up, "There is a chance."
[2012-09-19 23:46:37] * Tricks 's ears flick at the familiar sound of a lighter. She stands their facing away and blinks for a few times before the little filly in her head screaming to take the edge off the pain gets to her. She turns around with a smile, "Hey, strong&silent. Think I can have one of those?"
[2012-09-19 23:48:08] * Warm_Smiles glances at Tricks, eventually nodding. He passes a cigarette over to her, flicking his lighter out to get her going.
[2012-09-19 23:50:49] * Tricks takes a few puffs of the cigarette before pulling it out of the lighter. "Thanks..." It was hardly doing anything for her, but it was better than being reminded of how far gone she was. She made her way towards the wreckage and paused for a moment to look back, "You coming?"
[2012-09-19 23:52:08] * Warm_Smiles nods as he places his pack back into his saddlebags, glad of the larger pack Shady had given him earlier. He follows Tricks towards the rubble, making sure he savoured the cigarette, "You smoke as well?"
[2012-09-19 23:54:20] * Tricks gave the stallion a wink and in a rather suggestive tone answered, "Hon, I do a lot of things." She gave an all too rehearsed giggle and added "I don't often. It doesn't do it for me...but I'm out of other things."
[2012-09-19 23:56:54] * Warm_Smiles nods, ignoring the tone and wink, "Don't rely on drugs, they only make things worse." He climbs onto the rubble and begins searching.
[2012-09-20 00:01:32] * Tricks ruffles through a section of the wreckage. "Well, nothing of value in here...Wish I'd taken all that stuff we'd found when I had the chance. Now nopony gets it." The little filly in her head pointing out thats what she gets for trying to be a good pony.
[2012-09-20 00:03:15] * Warm_Smiles tsks, "We got out alive, that's more important." He takes a long drag as he continues to explore the ruins.
[2012-09-20 00:05:43] * Tricks mutters to herself. "more important to you maybe..." She moves on to another area and tried searching, trying to remain in earshot of Warm in case she came across any radroaches in the remains.

[2012-09-20 00:24:17] * Warm_Smiles continues his search, spotting something amongst the rubble. With a little digging, he pulls out one of the crossbows that nearly killed him in a still usable state along with fifteen bolts. He tsks at the weapon, a reminder of his carelessness, "Tricks, found something."
[2012-09-20 00:26:32] * Tricks trots over with a frustrated scowl on her face. "Oh yeah? I found something too. More rubble!" she rolls her eyes at her terrible luck. "What'd you find?"
[2012-09-20 00:29:24] * Warm_Smiles shows the crossbow off as he places it into his saddlebags, "I'm surprised it survived."
[2012-09-20 00:32:20] <Vieral> 10 The rubble in their area shifts slightly, revealing a damaged crate, filled to the brim with mines
[2012-09-20 00:33:46] <Vieral> 10 on the top of the pile, a single mine starts to beep eerily
[2012-09-20 00:34:19] * Tricks eyes light up at the sight of the crate. "Hey hey hey! Look what we have here! A crate with my--I-i mean our...names on it." She takes a step toward the crate and stops suddenly. "Hey...isn't that one active?"
[2012-09-20 00:36:03] * Warm_Smiles tsks at the pile, edging away, "That one's going to blow, come on." He turns and grabs her hoof with his own, he wasn't about to let anypony else get hurt on his watch.
[2012-09-20 00:37:06] <Vieral> 10 the beeping increases in tempo, quickly becoming a solid keen
[2012-09-20 00:37:26] * Tricks races after Warm away from the mines.
[2012-09-20 00:42:11] * Tricks feels a sharp pressure in the air as she races behind Warm. She dares a quick look back as the rest of the ruins explode into even more ruins. Who knew you could turn ruins into more ruins? The force of the explosion lifts the two ponies up but she hits the ground again running. She watches as Warm gets tossed into the air with a little less grace than her.
[2012-09-20 00:44:10] * Warm_Smiles grunts as he takes off, tripping and rolling along the ground before coming to a halt. He coughs as the dust settles, shaking his head, "You OK Tricks?"
[2012-09-20 00:50:09] * Tricks coughs from under Warm. "I'll feel better when you get off of me." she squeeks. "Your a bit heavier than you seemed in the air..." She jumped under the stallion in time with the intention of catching him. She clearly misjudged his...bulk.
[2012-09-20 00:54:00] * Warm_Smiles blinks and rolls over, lying next to Tricks. He stops for a moment, she had just tried to stop him from getting hurt... He studies the mare in better detail than before, taking it all in. He blinks, turning his head away, just the adrenaline in his system, nothing more.
[2012-09-20 00:56:10] * Tricks coughs to get the dust out of her lungs and just lays there for a bit. She suddenly breaks out into laughter, still laying there in the dirt and laughing like a mad mare. "Well that was fun! Two explosions, all in one day! I'm sticking around you from now on."
[2012-09-20 01:00:22] * Warm_Smiles tsks, "My talent is explosives... I get the feeling it should be destruction." His breathing calms somewhat as he lies on the ground, glancing at the now completely destroyed building.
[2012-09-20 01:06:10] * Tricks rolls over to look at Warm. He certainly was a nice looking buck...the strong and silent type...The little filly in her head jingled a bag of caps and she shook both her and the thought of that buck out of her head. "Nah. This time was just bad luck. On both our parts. I'm sure I shifted just as much rubble as you did."
[2012-09-20 01:08:59] * Warm_Smiles nods a little, "Perhaps..." He tsks, feeling sore all over. Even his stitched up scar throbbed a little, a reminder of the trace amount of poison still lurking around in him. He glances at Tricks, "We should get some rest soon."

[2012-09-20 01:12:46] * Tricks stands up with a huff and dusts herself off. She turns around, her face growing red as she tries to give him a nice view of her plot as she dusts it off with her tail. Why was she embarassed??? She did this /all/ the time. So why was now any different? Must have been the adrenaline...."Yeah...and we should make sure everypo-else is okay...You know its getting really hard to remember
[2012-09-20 01:12:47] * Tricks we have two not-ponies with us Celestia damn it."

[2012-09-20 01:13:24] <Tricks> everypo-body else*
[2012-09-20 01:13:58] -->| Ignis ([email protected]) has joined #lfggroup
[2012-09-20 01:15:21] * Warm_Smiles rolls up onto his hooves with a slight groan, making his way back to the group, "You ok to move on your own?"
[2012-09-20 01:19:03] * Tricks starts to walk, "Yeah I'm--" and feigns a bruised foreleg ankle. "Maybe not." she grimaces, hoping to convince him to brush up against her for support. The filly in her head gives a hoof pump.
[2012-09-20 01:22:36] * Warm_Smiles tsks and presses against Tricks to help her, moving slowly to match her pace, "Come on." Damn adrenaline, all he could do is study the mare in even greater detail. He shakes his head, noting he needs to light up soon.
