Star Group Session 34

01[21:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ------------------------------------ STAR GROUP SESSION 34 BEGINNING -----------------------------------------------------------------
06[21:04] * +Slag_Heap materializes. Game environment loading...
[21:05] <+Dust_Off> Reticulating spline...
06[21:05] * +Sagittis is leaning on his marecart.
06[21:06] * +Sour_Grape already existed. She always exists. Waiting.
01[21:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Our Mareizona Irregulars have been busy little bees, discussing nefarious plans on restructuring power bases of settlements, going on dates, rehabiliting chem-junkies, and doing business. We return with Dust_Off, Sagittis, and Sour_Grape outside the Broken Carriage wheel tavern and bar, with a shopping cart full of mare. Inside the establishment itself is Slag_Heap, Roy_Calbeck, with Sweet Melody and Peach Nectar Juice, the disowned Juice niece needing to be vacated in only mere hours as nightfall descends upon their location.
06[21:07] * +Dust_Off looks at the marecart to see how likely it is to be spotted as a kidnapping attempt.
01[21:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The three amigos shopping for guards, are in a secluded alleyway right next to the Broken Carriage Wheel.
06[21:09] * +Roy_Calbeck watches from the doorway, alert for anypony who might stumble upon the incriminating scene.
01[21:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice follows Roy_Calbeck, the both leaving the confines of their room after being locked inside for hours on end. In such haste too to do be alone with the mare.... hmmmm not suspicious in the least.
06[21:10] * +Slag_Heap is now wearing the Bane armour. He stands near the mourning sister, waiting for the order.
06[21:11] * +Sagittis has wrapped the mare in a blanked and enveloped her in Cannon ammo so she looks like a cart of scraps.
06[21:11] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at Peach. "Word of advice: stick close to me, an' don't say anything to the zebra colt. Don't respond to him, either. It won't go well."
06[21:11] * +Sour_Grape "Are we done now?"
06[21:11] * +Dust_Off glares for a moment at Sagittis.
01[21:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody sits in a booth, her gear equipped complete with large bulging saddlebags, the pretty adolescent earth pony mare looks eager to leave, staring towards Slag_Heap and Roy_Calbeck. Peach Nectar Juice looks to the handsome blonde maned stallion (jelly Slag?) for a moment, letting the older buck's words sink in and nods hesitantly, looking slightly uncomfortable.
06[21:14] * +Slag_Heap isn't as jealous as Roy_Calbeck is of his facial hair. That manly moustach.
01[21:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Man?
06[21:14] * +Slag_Heap stallionly doesn't sound right.
06[21:14] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "I still need to stash sleeping beauty here and I don't want anypony seeing me do it."
06[21:15] * +Dust_Off thinks hard for a moment and then takes out the other set of advanced recon barding and sets it down in front of Sagittis.  "I hope you learn to let your prejudices go, but I don't want you dead.  You're a credit to the company and well intentioned if skewed in execution."
06[21:16] * +Sour_Grape "Okay, I'll just go get us a room then. If ah come back an you two are like killed each other ah'm be pissed." She goes inside and talks to the owner person, "Yo! I need a room ta store some shit while we go out on tha town, whats yer cheapest room?"
06[21:16] * +Roy_Calbeck would find Slag's mustache studly, but he's not gay.
06[21:17] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sweet Melody. "Ma'am, how are you feeling? Would you like me to get you anything?"
01[21:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The totally non-stereotypical owner with his totally non-stereotypical accent replies to Sour_Grape with a smile, "Ah, ze filly once more! Une telle poney adorable! We do not have storage rooms, we have ze rooms to sleep. If you wish to store your goods, you should go to the caravan trade supply building here in ze Juice district! Ho ho ho!"
06[21:20] * +Sour_Grape "The sleep room will do, we don't got time ta go searching 'round, how much is your cheapest room."
01[21:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks up over to Slag_Heap replying with a small sad smile, "Just some water..." casting her gaze to the tabletop, the mare frowns sadly now then goes back to the balding cyber-stallion, asking with noticeable tones of anxiousness, 'We'll be leaving soon right?"
06[21:21] * +Dust_Off blinks, and she turns around.  The mare scoots back inside to stop Sour_Grape,  "Grape, we do want to take up a room for a meager things."
06[21:21] * +Slag_Heap nods. "I think so. Should be." He pulls a bottle of water out of his pack and places it before Sweet Melody.
06[21:22] * +Sour_Grape looks back at Dust_Off, "Huh what now?"
01[21:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The owner replies to Sour_Grape, "Only 30 caps for a cheapest room... however... since you are all repeat guests... I will discount it to only 25 caps."
06[21:22] * +Roy_Calbeck ambles aside to let the Captain pass.
03[21:22] * Pantzar ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[21:23] * +Sagittis snorts at Dust_Off. "It is not prejudice to hate enemy combatants for evils everyone knows they did, but thank you." He looks down, over the recon armor. "Oh, this looks nice. Thanks... One of you want my combat armor?" He blinks as Sour_Grape goesoff. "No, no, no. We can't have it traceable back to any of us."
03[21:25] * Pantzar_ ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[21:25] * +Dust_Off nods and quietly whispers to Grape, "the inn knows us too well.  She wakes up in our room.  We'll have the Sugars on us.  We can dump her close, but not here."
06[21:26] * +Sour_Grape sighs, "Fuhiiin." She smiles at the french sterotype, "Sorrym we'll have to take it somewhere else because some folk'er lame. Seeya."
06[21:26] * +Roy_Calbeck whistles idly to himself, utterly oblivious to the skullduggery underway all around him.
02[21:27] * Pantzar ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[21:28] * +Dust_Off smiles up at the owner.  "Monsieur, I'm sorry to be a bother.  Is there a storage unit about?"
01[21:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody smiles to Slag_Heap once a gain and takes the water bottle, consuming a small portion of it... probably only taking small rational sips, "Thank you." then blinks when she sees the three from outside... well at least possibly two of them come inside. The total non-sterotypical >_> owner shrugs to Sour_Grape replying in Fance- errr French, "C'est la vie. Be well little filly!"
06[21:28] * +Sagittis shrugs. "If we can find a nice, safe dumpster, that would work."
01[21:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice stands behind Roy_Calbeck, trying not to be seen by any of the other party members to the best of her abilities, but she sticks out rather obviously.
06[21:29] * +Slag_Heap nods with a smile.
02[21:29] * Pantzar_ ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[21:32] * +Sour_Grape 'rolls her eyes and walks out of the building, "Whatever, less go."
01[21:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The owner replies to Dust_Off, "As I told your sweetheart filly here, ze caravan traders in the Juice district would be ze best place for such a service!" hearing a loud clattering from the door behind his station... the sound of glassware and plates breaking, causes the owner to turn and yell in a frustrated, exasperated tone, "Non, non! Soyez prudent avec ceux-ci, ils sont rares!" sighing he then turns back to the pegasexy shaking his head as it looks to the counter infront of him adding quietly, "Sacre bleu..."
06[21:33] * +Slag_Heap looks to the group returning and nods to them. He then looks back at Sweet Melody. "If you need to talk, I'm here for ya."
06[21:35] * +Dust_Off floats up to the tall minotaur and pats him on the shoulder.  "Ce n'est pas grave. Certains jours, vous êtes le pare-brise, parfois vous êtes à la volée."  She turns and flutters outside.  "Okay, the caravan office then."  She leads the way, having been there before.
01[21:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody just sighs and shakes her head replying to Slag_Heap, "Just want to leave this place. Not sure where I'm gonna go exactly, but... it's definitely not staying in this shit hole anymore."
01[21:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Owner is a pony, not a minotaur.
06[21:36] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Smart move."
06[21:37] * +Sagittis starts looking around, but stops. "Dust! Idea!"
01[21:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The owner of the establishment blinks at Dust_Off's words... wondering what a pare-brise even is.
06[21:38] * +Dust_Off turns back to look at Sagittis, with a suspicious eyebrow raised.  "No, you can't burn down the town."
06[21:38] * +Roy_Calbeck trots off after Dusty, Peach Nectar in tow.
06[21:38] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Dust_Off, "Can I?"
06[21:40] * +Slag_Heap looks to the door. "This town does have its low down ponies. Then there's the insane ponies... Even the pretty ones." He sighs. "Pity some are violent."
06[21:40] * +Sagittis glares at Dust_Off. "Not. Fucking. Funny." Especially not in this town. He was likely to get lynched for that kind of talk.
06[21:41] * +Slag_Heap looks at Melody. "Where we're taking you, there is nice ponies. Honest, hard working ponies."
01[21:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody blinks and notices that... the rest of the group has left the establishment. The snow-white earth pony mare nods to Slag_Heap then says, "Thanks... ummm not to be rude but I think your friends are leaving without us..." Getting up she quickly leaves out, going outside and seeing Dust_Off going down a road leading deeper into the Juice district, with Sagittis calling out for her. Peach Nectar Juice spots Sagittis as she trots with Roy_Calbeck, who himself is following the pegasus mare and her perfectly coiffured mane.
06[21:43] * +Dust_Off glances at Sour_Grape, "No."  She grins at Sagittis, "Sorry, I'm used to that answer because of SOME mare.  So, what is your idea?"
06[21:43] * +Slag_Heap follows behind her. "Wouldn't leave without you, ma'am. Sure, without me they'd leave, but not without you."
06[21:44] * +Sagittis waves Dust_Off over so they are not having the conversation about kidnapping across the crowded bar of mostly anti zebras.
01[21:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks about the group for a moment, then looks back over to Slag_Heap, blinking and saying in an... awkward tone, "Ohh... umm... I'm... sorry to hear..." awk-waaaaard. Peach Nectar Juice stands rather close to Roy_Calbeck, looking more and more uncomfortable.
06[21:46] * +Slag_Heap chuckles. "Its fine." He takes a look around, now outside, and relights his cigar. "Roy, what's the word on leaving?"
06[21:46] * +Sagittis rolls his eyes. "Just drop her on a roof. She will be safe and it will be hard to trace."
06[21:46] * +Dust_Off lands and walks close to the conspiratorial colt. "Yeeesss?"
[21:46] <+Dust_Off> (redact)
06[21:47] * +Dust_Off thinks about it.  "Not bad.  Not bad.  Let's get in an alley."  She glances around for the nearest dark alley."
06[21:48] * +Sour_Grape flaps her wings, "Oh! Can I carry her?"
01[21:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 There was that one dark alleyway that still held the shopping cart, as nopony... or zebra for that matter had taken it out from there yet.
06[21:48] * +Roy_Calbeck leans over slightly and nuzzles Peach Nectar's cheek reassuringly.
06[21:48] * +Sagittis nods to the two. "You do that. I think I will try out my new armor." He fades away and his player gets caffeine.
01[21:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 But yes, there are many dark alleyways amongst the hodgepodge of crude structures made mainly out of scrap metal, some even out of ancient burnt out husks of trees.
06[21:49] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to Slag and angles his head towards Dust_Off. "Whenever boss-mare says... prolly after we take care of this last bit of business."
01[21:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody chimes in to Roy_Calbeck's words, speaking more to the group than any singular member, "Just let me know when we're ready to go, so I can... I can get my... sister."
06[21:51] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Gotcha." He leans up against a wall to smoke his cigar. He looks around. "Whats going on, anyway?"
01[21:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 It's the end of the world as we know it.
06[21:52] * +Roy_Calbeck thought we were on the way to the storage place, but apparently we're still at the tavern, which confuses the hell out of the unicorn. "Wow. I didn't know my teleport spells were THAT good."
06[21:52] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head wogga wogga wogga.
01[21:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group is outside of the tavern out on the road at this point and were headed to the storage place, however Sagittis had to tell Dust_Off his idea.
06[21:53] * +Dust_Off pushes the mare cart into an alley and glances around to make sure there isn't anyone looking.  "Everyone keep watch."  She tries to get behind a building.
06[21:53] * +Roy_Calbeck staggers through an appropriately heavy bout of deja vu.
01[21:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to find a slightly bigger alleyway to push the cart loaded with unconscious mare, near a pile of unusable refuse... eww it stank... the pegasus mare really didn't want to know what it was. Roy_Calbeck might need to speak to Morph Enos about deja vus.
06[21:55] * +Sour_Grape apparently doesn't get to carry the mare, oh well. She stands guard instead.
06[21:55] * +Dust_Off gags.  It was as bad as that refrigerator.  She digs the mare out and checks to mare sure the colt didn't kill her.
01[21:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off easily sees that the guard mare is simply unconscious. Goodness the colt really did a good job in keeping her in the state... however due to her expert skills, the pegasus medic notices that there's no form of anethesia... there's no telling /when/ exactly this guard would regain consciousness.
06[21:58] * +Slag_Heap smokes his cigar as he waits. He scratches his side burns. "Taking thier time..."
01[22:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks at Dust_Off for a moment as she goes into a dark alleyway with a shopping cart, not following her. Looking towards Sagittis as well, the mare asks Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap, as they were the ponies within earshot of her, "W-.. What are your f-friends doing?"
06[22:01] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sweet. "Probably some crazy scheme to save something or other."
06[22:01] * +Dust_Off takes hold of the mare and lifts her up into the air and climbs to the rooftops.
01[22:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice remains silent, looking at Sweet Melody for a moment then goes back to uneasy shifting in place, staring at Roy_Calbeck... but more accurately... something on him...
06[22:04] * +Roy_Calbeck eyes Peach Nectar right back.
01[22:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off has many various rooftops to pick from... however the inn looked like it had the sturdiest integrity of the bunch.
01[22:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck sees that Peach Nectar is eyeing a saddlebag of his.
06[22:05] * +Dust_Off flaps over to the Inn's roof and sets the mare down.  She makes sure to put her square in the middle so she wouldn't mistakenly roll over and die.  She also makes sure she doesn't have anything useful on her.
06[22:05] * +Roy_Calbeck gives Peach Nectar the squinteye.
01[22:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes that the mare only has her guard armor on. Nothing in it, not even ammo is on her, as she's placed smack dab in the center of the roof. Peach Nectar Juice finally looks up and notices that Roy_Calbeck is staring back at her with his disapproving expression. Blushing red in shame, the mare grits her teeth nervously then backpeddles very slightly, saying quietly, 'S--Ss-sorry..."
06[22:08] * +Slag_Heap has nopony to eye. He closes his eyes and sighs with a smile around his cigar. He hums softly to himself.
06[22:09] * +Dust_Off thinks for a moment and takes off her barding.  It might be useful at some point.
01[22:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Hey chicka bum bum.
06[22:10] * +Sour_Grape is bored and leans against the building. Oh wait, she was guarding the alley alone right? That meant it was mint-al time! Omnomnom
[22:10] <+Dust_Off>  She takes off the Sugar guard's barding.  Pervert.
01[22:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to hear out of the corner of her ear a stallion yelling angrily at another stallion wearing barding in a nearby street, "Damn it, what did I tell you about that Caboose over there!" the bucks' further words trail off.
06[22:12] * +Roy_Calbeck nods and returns his attention to looking around for wherever Dusty got off to.
06[22:12] * +Dust_Off stuffs the Sugar barding in her bags and flaps over towards the arguing stallions.
[22:13] <+Dust_Off> Redact the bit about the barding.  Zebras are such sneak thieves.
01[22:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sugar barding was already taken from Sagittis. So the mare was essentially nekkid. So no hey chicka bum bum or stallions speaking to one another... Gosh, such a weird world!
06[22:14] * +Sagittis slinks back out of the shadows and over to the group, coming to a sudden halt when he sees Peach.
12[22:16] * Karina is now known as Kirengo
06[22:16] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to the zebra colt, but says nothing.
01[22:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody is looking about and spots Sagittis as he returns to the main group. Following his eyes once she sees the flufflecolt halt in his tracks, she looks over at Peach Nectar Juice briefly, then looks back at the zebra curiously. Peach Nectar Juice on the other-hoof is still looking rather uneasy, occassionally glancing at the party members other than Roy_Calbeck. Dust_Off is in the air still after depositing the body, and there were no stallions to speak to. They were never there to begin with crazy pegasus mare.
06[22:16] * +Dust_Off blinks and pulls Immelbuck turn, heading back towards the group.  She dives down into the alley and walks out.  Her flying?  What?  No body would know...  "Alright let's blow this sweet cloud stand."
06[22:17] * +Sour_Grape "Yeah, this blow what not? Lets just leave."
02[22:18] * Milia ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06[22:19] * +Slag_Heap has been checking his guns, making sure they're in working order. He stands tall, tallest of the group. "Ready to go, ma'am."
06[22:19] * +Roy_Calbeck tosses the Captain a salute. "All set t'go, ma'am."
06[22:19] * +Sagittis tilts his head at Roy_Calbeck. "You're joking, right?"
06[22:20] * +Roy_Calbeck just smiles.
01[22:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody observes the two curiously, with Peach Nectar Juice looking up at Sagittis and blinking to the flufflecolt.
06[22:21] * +Slag_Heap looks at the group, looking at each other. "Did I miss something?"
06[22:22] * +Sagittis nods slowly. "Good, it is a joke then." He turns around and heads to the exit of the town.
06[22:22] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to Sweet Melody. "Didja have somethin' ya needed t'get before we leave?"
06[22:22] * +Dust_Off trots out ahead of the group.  She tries to look proud and heroic like a great leader of ponies...but with the collection behind her, it's a forlorn hope.
06[22:22] * +Roy_Calbeck follows behind, the ever-loyal Gunny Sergeant.
06[22:23] * +Roy_Calbeck begins to match his step to Dusty's, as a marching soldier should.
01[22:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody nods to Roy_Calbeck and replies, "Yes, I'll go get my sister... just... please wait for me at the entrance okay?" the mare then goes back to the Sugar District going to collect the corpse of her lost family member. Peach Nectar is... unsure exactly what the colt was refering to, but she seems to be even more uneasy as she follows after Roy_Calbeck.
03[22:23] * Milia ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[22:23] * +Sour_Grape flies beside Dust_Off, "Still haven't figured out how ta do that flip-a-ma-jig."
06[22:24] * +Slag_Heap marches (which is loud, considering he's got big hooves and clanky armour).
06[22:24] * +Sagittis stops and looks over to Mellody. "I'm sorry, miss. Would you like my help? I have a cart we could set up to seem comfortable."
12[22:24] * Milia is now known as Pony_824
01[22:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody turns to Sagittis and shakes her head with a very stern expression on her face as she replies, "I don't want the cart... but you can come if you want."
12[22:25] * Pony_824 is now known as Milia
06[22:26] * +Dust_Off smiles, "Okay, watch me."  She rolls onto her back and then back right side up.  She gains a little altitude and does it slower.  It does cause her to drop a bit but she recovers and fly upside down.
06[22:26] * +Sagittis nods. "I'll meet the rest of you at the gate. Sour, you ar incharge of my loot cart." He follows Melody.
01[22:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 A unicorn passerbyer trots by the group and watches Dust_Off up in the sky with awe. Going, "Ooooo...." in wonder.
06[22:27] * +Sour_Grape studies this crazt technique and attempts to replicate, "Huh what sag-Accck." She crahses into the side of a building due to slight distraction. "Ow."
06[22:28] * +Slag_Heap blows a smoke ring. He occupies his mind by looking up to the sky. "Wonder if its going to rain soon..."
06[22:29] * +Dust_Off trots over to Sour_Grape and helps her up.  "You mixed up the wing movement.  Left up, right down.  Try again."
06[22:30] * +Roy_Calbeck watches Dust_Off teaching Sour_Grape with a look that might almost be fatherly. Dirty old bastard.
01[22:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody and Sagittis go to the medical clinic to retrieve Serene's body. The flufflecolt sees that when the younger sister sees the corpse initally, the mare almost breaks down right then and there again... but managed to surpress the emotion, only letting a couple of tears stream down. Having returned to the group at the front entrance while carrying the body, the guards at the front gate, a pair for each of the three districts look at the group gathered at the gates. With the Juice guards approaching Sour_Grape, Roy_Calbeck, and Slag_Heap, giving them each passes, "Your passes. Welcome officially to the city of Dune, the last gleaming gem in the Mareizona."
06[22:31] * +Slag_Heap takes them. It was pretty hard to see the gleaming gem under the piles of manure. He would make a comment about that gem being Jasmine, but that'd be pretty lame.
01[22:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Colt Hansen peers from around the corner of a building at Roy_Calbeck, watching him intently.
06[22:31] * +Slag_Heap takes HIS*
06[22:32] * +Sagittis offers a brief hug to Melody if she wants it and offers to carry her gear or her sister for her.
01[22:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To note... every guard looks at Peach Nectar strangely... though the Juice guards just smirk condencendingly at the mare, looking rather... pleased... Sweet Melody tentaively takes the hug from Sagittis but refuses to relinquish anything to him, thanking him for the offer regardless.
06[22:33] * +Sour_Grape blehs and dusts herself off, "I give up. Today."
06[22:33] * +Dust_Off takes her visa and examines it.
06[22:34] * +Sagittis nods to Mellody and wordlessly leads her to the gate with pathfinder speed, likely cutting through a few back roads.
06[22:34] * +Dust_Off glances at Sour_Grape, "You don't have to push yourself.  You have a while.  When we get out.  We can just work on basic maneuvers."
06[22:34] * +Sour_Grape "An folk keep puttin' walls in tha way!"
01[22:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The visa is a rather crude thin leather bound booklet, with a couple of papers inside, one of which holds simply her name, race, and general description. In bold print near the bottom it reads, 'THIS LEGALLY BINDING DOCUMENT IS AN OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE PASS INTO THE CITY OF DUNE.' Signed at the bottom is Guava Juice's signature.
06[22:35] * +Dust_Off laughs, "Outside will be better....Oh!" She looks up while she puts her visa away.
06[22:35] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sour_Grape. "Those dastardly wall putters."
01[22:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Each visa is nearly identical with the same bold print and signature, only differences being customed in obvious areas relating to their repsective owners.
01[22:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis and Melody are at the front gate
01[22:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice seems to glare daggers at the juice guards momentarily, then blinks and hangs her head sadly, looking downcast.
06[22:38] * +Roy_Calbeck carefully stows his visa after checking it, then reaches around to nuzzle Peach again.
06[22:38] * +Sagittis stops again and blinks at Peach still being by Roy_Calbeck. "It's still here?"
06[22:38] * +Dust_Off looks for clouds above them and their altitude.
06[22:39] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles over his shoulder at Sagittis. " 'It', is a work-in-progress, and will be traveling with us."
01[22:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar goes wide eyed and blushes intensely to the nuzzling. Staring a Roy_Calbeck for a moment, she just starts smiling and looks to the gate.
06[22:39] * +Sour_Grape "Sagi, can't we leave fore you get all... sagi-like?"
01[22:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To note the guards look at each other curiously, though the Juice guards look dumbfounded to Roy_Calbeck, turning to each other and murmring.
06[22:41] * +Dust_Off looks back and glares at Sagittis.  "Stop calling her it."
01[22:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks at Peach Nectar for a moment then turns to Sagittis, giving him a questioning look... one more beckoning for an explanation.
06[22:42] * +Sagittis clicks his tongue a few times and looks at his hooves as if pondering something sarcastically. "Ah, well then, you and it can find another guide." He looks to Sour_Grape and Dust_Off. "I have other names that would be more accurate, but this is an attempt to be nice."
06[22:43] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs and looks back to the main gate.
06[22:44] * +Dust_Off sets her jaw.
06[22:44] * +Slag_Heap narrows his eyes at Sagittis. "Don't make me smack some manners into you, boy." He looks at Dust_Off. "Better get moving before mr. pissy over here goes overboard."
06[22:44] * +Sour_Grape groans, "Did you like wake up on th wrong side of the bed er somethin? Cause you're bein' difficult taday." She turns to Slag_Heap, "You're not helping."
01[22:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks at the other group members for a moment then tilts her head to Sagittis curiously. Peach Nectar Juice looks at Sagittis with sheer hate briefly, then... looks at his armament and quickly fades her expression. Giving a loud sigh and looking away towards the gates once more.
06[22:46] * +Sagittis smirks at Slag_Heap. "Try it you over payed pack brahmin. I dare you." He looks over to Sour_Grape. "Oh, no. I am actually in a good mood. I haven't blown her head off yet." He shrugs. "Anyway, I am not going to budge on this issue. I can not in good conscience take Legion scum to Glassy Flats."
06[22:47] * +Dust_Off hisses at Sagittis, "Shut up."
06[22:47] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes. "Enough of all this. Is everyone accounted for?"
06[22:47] * +Sour_Grape "Wait, we pay Slag?"
06[22:47] * +Roy_Calbeck arches an eyebrow at Sagittis. "Then you've got no problem here. So let's go."
01[22:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody blinks and opens her mouth slightly in shock, not uttering a word, as Peach Nectar juice spins on her heels and yells out raggedly at the flufflecolt, "I ain't fuckin Legion, you striped fuckin piece of shit!"
06[22:48] * +Roy_Calbeck bucks Peach Nectar's flank, pulling his kick just enough to avoid causing her real damage.
[22:48] <+Roy_Calbeck> "AHEM."
06[22:49] * +Sour_Grape groans, "Oh fuck this." She walks out of the gate grumbling about stubborn dumbasses.
06[22:49] * +Sagittis crouches down and spins up his minigun at Peach. "Come on, you treacherous cunt. Give me an excuse. Please."
06[22:50] * +Dust_Off pulls her MER on Sagittis, "Knock it off."
06[22:50] * +Roy_Calbeck draws his revolver and sights on Sagi's head.
06[22:50] * +Slag_Heap turns to Sagittis. The pilot light ignites on his flamer with a phut.
[22:51] <+Roy_Calbeck> "One dead pony plus one dead pony equals no apples for anypony.  Stow it."
06[22:51] * +Sagittis shrugs and looks as Sour_Grape walks off then glances between Roy_Calbeck, Slag_Heap and Dust_Off. "So this is how it is, huh?"
01[22:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar stumbles quite a bit but remains upright from the bucking. Gasping and looking about with the expression of realization, she quickly begins to sweat and hangs her head low saying out quickly, "F-F-Fuck... I-I'm s-sorry..." at the spinning of the minigun the mare gasps and attempts to hide behind Roy_Calbeck. The Sugar and Ore family guards pull out their weapons with one saying authoriatively, "DISARM NOW!" in a very loud tone, his assault rifle at the ready. The Juice family guards look conflicted, not drawing their weapons out yet.
06[22:51] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to the guards, then holsters his weapon, but places himself directly between Sagi's minigun and Peach Nectar.
01[22:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody in all of this has frozen completely in place looking on in abject shock.
06[22:53] * +Dust_Off glances at the guard and slings her rifle.  She moves beside Roy to shield Peach Nectar.
06[22:53] * +Slag_Heap reaches over to his pilot light and relights his cigar. It'd extinguished itself! How'd it do that? No clue.
06[22:53] * +Roy_Calbeck turns his head to Sweet Melody. "Th' Legion got Peach here wired on Rainboom, used her as an in to get at the Juice family. S'why they're so happy t'see her go."
06[22:53] * +Slag_Heap turns off his pilot light. His LMG shows no signs of being either armed or disarmed.
06[22:53] * +Sour_Grape will go form her own raider gang or something. Because she's not dealing with this.
06[22:54] * +Sagittis spins down his minigun and snorts. "Fine then. If you would defended this wast of hide and bring her into a nice place like the Flats, I what nothing to do with you. Good luck getting back by the way." He nods to Mellody. "Yeah, this bint is why the spy killed your sister."
01[22:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, is out of the gate at this point, but she doesn't see any of the rest of her group with her. Alone now, she is free to roam as she sees fit.
06[22:54] * +Slag_Heap turns and starts his march after Sour_Grape. "Enough, lets go."
[22:54] <+Slag_Heap> "Must be the fucking end of the world..." he mutters. "Sour's the only one thinking rationally..."
06[22:55] * +Dust_Off scoffs, "Sagittis, We've travelled between Flats and Dune a number of times.  We can manage without you."
06[22:56] * +Dust_Off looks to Roy and Peach.  "Head on.  I'll catch up."  She stays to watch Sagittis.
06[22:56] * +Roy_Calbeck nods and moves out, making sure the distraught mare follows along.
06[22:56] * +Sour_Grape looks around. Lots of sand. hey wasn't there a rumour about a mountain with treause in the center of the desert. She flies off to try and find that.
06[22:57] * +Slag_Heap marches keeps an eye out for Sour_Grape. She marched off before them, but she couldn't be that far ahead.
01[22:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Juice Guards look rather amused, though on their err hooves, as they move to the side. The other guards keep their weapons trained as now one of the ore family guards with a 9mm SMG whistles loudly towards the walls causing more and more guards to appear on the ledges, staring down, speaking out loud, "Problem?" Sweet Melody's eyes have expanded to dinner plates, staring at Sagittis for a moment, then looks over at Peach Nectar Juice, the other mare gladly follows along with Dust_Off and Roy_Calbeck, each heading out of the front gates. The guards keep an eye on Sagittis looking rather serious, their weapons still at their ready, "Not... yet." is the response from the original guard calling for reinforcements.
06[22:59] * +Slag_Heap is probably easy to spot with his big, muscular, armoured plot.
01[23:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape heads straight towards Blasted Sands, that being the rumor of something hidden within the center of the place... Though she recalls also thanks in large part to her mintals, that their guide at the time, Sightseer, had stressed the importance of staying away from the center or even making the journey towards it. The rest of the group leaving the front gates manage to see the filly going off on her own.
06[23:00] * +Dust_Off takes off and hovers. "So, Sagittis, what do you want?"
01[23:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis is not with the group, to note, neither is Sweet Melody as both are still at the front gates.
06[23:01] * +Slag_Heap watches Sour_Grape fly off. "Where the hell..." he looks back at Roy_Calbeck. "Roy... you seeing this?" He calls back.
06[23:02] * +Roy_Calbeck snorts. "Yeah. SHE'S got a burr up her tail. But only Dusty'll be able t'talk any sense at 'er. Jus' keep an eye fer where she goes."
06[23:02] * +Sagittis nods slowly. "This is a bad idea. She is not trustworthy. She sold out her family. Why is a town of good ponies any safer?"
06[23:02] * +Dust_Off never left the gates, to note.
01[23:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Then Dust_Off is still there, however Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap are not
06[23:02] * +Sour_Grape already knew that it was dangerous, but so was the Hollow. So that's not enough to stop her. Besides, there's like treasure there, probably. most hidden places had treasure.
06[23:02] * +Slag_Heap nods. "I'll try."
06[23:06] * +Dust_Off gives Sagittis a tired look. "You think I wouldn't warn Downtrodden?  I think she deserves a second chance, but trust AND verify, colt.  Trust and verify."
06[23:07] * +Sagittis shakes his head slowly. "There is a reason that treason is universally punished by execution. Somepony who is willing to turn on their home and family for personal gain can not be trusted."
01[23:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice looks on as Sour_Grape flies off to the Blasted sands, opening her mouth as to say something, but refrains herself... staring at Roy_Calbeck with a somewhat pleading expression now.
06[23:08] * +Roy_Calbeck returns Peach's look. "What?"
[23:08] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Don't tell me you gotta stop already.  You had plenty of time t'go before we left."
06[23:09] * +Dust_Off snorts, "Sounds very Enclave, Sagittis.  You'd fit in with the other intolerant bigots."
01[23:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape finds that the stinging sands of the breezy dark landscape, which surprisingly the temperature started declining rapidly once the sun set and it grew dark, makes flight extremely difficult. Especially for herself, being new to the experience, rapidly fatiguing her. Peach Nectar Juice shakes her head with a small frown and replies to Roy_Calbeck, "No... that filly is... she knows where she's going doesn't she?"
06[23:10] * @SilentBrony|GM is redundancy overlord-master.
06[23:11] * +Sagittis twitches his eye. "I am just trying to keep a nice place safe, not bringing somepony who not only betrayed her home, but her blood too, and I don't know about you, but until her back was against a wall, I didn't see any remorse or guilt."
06[23:12] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Anyway, you should get sour before she gets lost or hurts herself. I hope you come to your senses before it is too late."
06[23:13] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back up at where Sour is already starting to visibly tire. "Nope. She's prolly just ticked off at all that drama back there at the gate. She'll be back soon enough."
06[23:14] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes.  "Let Downtrodden decide.  HE knows Glassy Flats better than us.  I hope you ever find your own senses.  Not your culture's."  She pulls another Immelpony and cruises out of the gates.  She picks up the trail of the others and streaks after them with a flash and a KA-chow as she Fantastic Filly Flashes to speed up.
06[23:14] * +Sour_Grape blehs and goes back to walking instead of flying. It was much easier. Damn it was cold too, but she'd go for a little bit, then make a fire or something.
06[23:14] * +Roy_Calbeck grins as Dusty blasts past. "Aaaaand there goes Captain Dust Off."
06[23:15] * +Slag_Heap blinks as Dust wooshes past. He does a spin, trying to see it, but falls on his back. "The fuck was that?!"
06[23:16] * +Roy_Calbeck laughs!
01[23:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off easily soars past Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap in a fantastic streak of light, leaving a cloud trail in her wake... unforunately she doesn't see Sour_Grape! Where is the filly?!
06[23:16] * +Roy_Calbeck helps the big buck up. "C'mon, you two, let's go catch 'er."
06[23:16] * +Dust_Off looks around for sign of the filly.
01[23:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Once the pegasus leaves Sweet Melody, speaks very quietly to the colt, "Whoever he is, won't have to decide." then begins to gallop after the party that left the gates.
06[23:17] * +Slag_Heap gets up and dusts himself off. "Thanks." He nods. "Lead the way."
06[23:19] * +Roy_Calbeck heads out in Dusty's wake at the trot.
06[23:19] * +Sagittis charges after Melody and tries to stop her, by tacking her if need be.
01[23:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape was in flight, she didn't leave a trail to be followed from the city. Not even Sagittis with his awesome surival skills would know where to begin.
01[23:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, Slag_Heap, and Peach Nectar Juice did see her last sighted direction.
06[23:20] * +Dust_Off looks around and curses and Immelpony's again.  She streaks back to the group.  "Which way did she go?!"  She flies racetracks around them.  She figured a heading along theirs would work.  Silly intuition.
06[23:21] * +Slag_Heap points in the direction Sour_Grape zipped off in. "She went thattaway."
06[23:23] * +Dust_Off peels off on that vector and flies off, calling out for Grape.  "Sour_Grape!  SOUUUUURRRRRRR_GRRRRRAAAAAPPPPPPEEEE!"
01[23:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape feels sand inbetween...  her wing feathers.. Eww it was really uncomfortable! Stupid desert. Being super hot, then super cold. Why couldn't it make up it's mind?
06[23:25] * +Sour_Grape flaps her wings to get the sand out. Yuck. She looks around for some sort of shelter.
01[23:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis sprints after Sweet Melody, catching up rather quickly initially, but in his haste to get to her, he trips and faceplants on the compact dirt road. The mare could be seen heading off in a certain direction, as she could barely herself manage to spot the slow moving stallions chasing after Dust_Off, but the nighttime was causing vision problems for all the group.
06[23:26] * +Dust_Off decides to climbs up and FFF again as a beacon and a flare.
06[23:26] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Slag and Peach, shrugs, and trots after Dust_Off.
06[23:26] * +Sagittis bellows after Melody. "No! Stop! They'll kill you!"
06[23:28] * +Dust_Off thinks she needs to give the filly an reflective sash like they used to wear during PT back in the Enclave.
06[23:28] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around at the darkening desert as he moves along, then casts two spells: Night Vision and Light. The one, to be able to spot the others, and the second to let them spot him.
03[23:29] * Fridge ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
01[23:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off creates another incredibly bright flash in the night's sky over the sandy dunes of the Blasted Sands, the pegasus mare takes off towards the direction that her party directed... unfortunately in her panicked haste, she overlooks Sour_Grape as she soars overhead. The filly however's attention is brought straight towards the light dazzled by the sight... but also notices the pegasus mare who had created it. Sweet Melody either ignores Sagittis or cannot hear him as she continues to trail the slower stallions. Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap also seeing the brilliant illumintory display from the pegasexy.
01[23:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To note, Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap are now trudging through the sand dunes now themselves./
01[23:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The lighting also reveals the area very impressively for a good half-minute, nothing but rolling sand dunes for as far as the eye can see, save for the direction the group had came from.
06[23:32] * +Sour_Grape notices Dust_Off but decides not to say anything, and just keeps walking. Maybe if she found the treasure she'd try to find whatever was left of the group then.
06[23:33] * +Dust_Off looks around.  "GRAPE?!  Where are you, filly?!"  She screams and looks around frantically.
01[23:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off finds that the further she goes into the breezy Blasted Sands, that the wind currents get progressively stronger, causing the biting sand particles to irritate her body, hampering her flight and vision... draining her of energy quickly, even as it was undoubtedly being fueled at this point with adrenaline.
01[23:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Looking about frantically, Dust_Off can't find hair nor tail of the filly... she does see a glowing light down below.
01[23:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 From the directionm she flew in from.
06[23:36] * +Sagittis gets up and continues to charge after Melody. He would be damned if Roy_Calbeck's pet spider got both of the Melodys killed. He pulls out one of his rainbooms, just in case.
06[23:36] * +Slag_Heap looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Wind's picking up... starting to think we should get the mares to saftey before going to look."
06[23:36] * +Dust_Off groans and heads back towards the light.  She dives towards them.
06[23:37] * +Sour_Grape is fairly sure she's going to wrong way. Maybe if made a little sand hut to stay the night in
06[23:38] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Let's hold up here until we're all back t'gether. Dusty's still got the best chance t'find where Grape got off to."
01[23:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Truding along the sand dunes, Sour_Grape continues her trek, finding that it was still tiring to fight uphill the sand dunes... but quite fun to slide down them! Roy_Calbeck notices with his spell a flying object heading their way... rather quickly as well... guesses would be that it would more than likely be Dust_Off with the filly. Sagittis rushes as quickly as he can... barely able to keep sight of Sweet Melody in thanks to the fact the mare had to slow her pace noticably once she had reached the rolling sand dunes... however the mare was still a little ways from his own location from his faceplanting, losing valuable time and distance.
06[23:39] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Here she comes now."
06[23:40] * +Dust_Off lands she approaches the light, breathing heavily.  "Roy?!"
06[23:41] * +Sour_Grape slides down a sand down with a high pitches wheeeeeeeeee~ She lands at the bottom the hill rolling around in the sand/ She sits up and shakes the saind out of her mane. That was fun. Though not getting her any closer to the destination. Whatever destination that was.
06[23:42] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Fuck this." He huffs his Rainboom and takes off as fast as he can, shedding his saddlebags as he does so to go even faster.
01[23:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape doesn't even know where or what she's looking for, but hey, she'd find it. She was no bitch and had a lot of supplies. Anf it wasn't even hot!
06[23:45] * +Slag_Heap sits. "Aight." He looks around. "Hey, where are the mares?"
01[23:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The striped flufflecolt looks at the rainboom for a moment then pops it... once more feeling that... phenomenal surge of energy and power pulsing throughout his being. Awww yyeeeessss! Nothing could stand in his way now! With incredibly ease, Sagittis manages to plow through the sand dunes, his face wild in concern, excitement, and chems as he manages to get within tackling range of Sweet Melody.
06[23:46] * +Sour_Grape doesn't actually have a lot of supplies as Sagi carried most of the groups. Still she had enough, and some caps. maybe she could bribe the guy who had the treasure she was certain existed.
06[23:47] * +Dust_Off coughs and calls out again, trudging towards the light.  "Roy?!"  She unslings her rifle.
[23:47] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Right here, ma'am!"
01[23:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Sand dunes being the much smaller shaped ones... not the mountainous hilly ones, as the two of them weren't that deep in yet.
12[23:49] * Kirengo is now known as Kar-Shower
06[23:50] * +Sagittis gives Mellody one last warning bellow of "Stop! I can't let you throw your life away!"
06[23:50] * +Roy_Calbeck stands stock-still, not wanting to move the beacon of his horn.
06[23:51] * +Sour_Grape starts to scale one of those large freaking dunes, flapping her wings a little to help her up it.
06[23:51] * +Dust_Off breaths a sigh of relief.  "Roy, I can't find Grape!  It's too dark.  Hell, I don't know if she veered off. "
01[23:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody turns her head as she continues to trek and shouts back with resolve, "I don't plan on dieing!" the mare completely unable to make her strides any quicker or longer as Sagittis is now pratically within reach of the mare.
06[23:51] * +Roy_Calbeck frowns. "Ive got my night-vision spell going. I might be able to spot 'er if I can get high enough."
06[23:52] * +Sagittis reaches out to grab her, pulling her into a hug so she did not get hurt in the inevitable tumble. "I fought side by side with them in the Hollow and they turned on me like that for her. If you try to stop her they will kill you."
06[23:53] * +Dust_Off blinks.  "Can you cast it on me?"
06[23:57] * +Roy_Calbeck thinks about it. "Never tried. Could give it a shot."
06[23:58] * @SilentBrony|GM has her tail pulled on, being the only real thing Sagittis could latch onto, causing her to stumble fall to the sandy dune they were on. Not even feeling himself or noticing his heavy breathing/sweating, the flufflecolt attempts to pull Sweet Melody in a hug, but she manages to squirm lose from his grasp, laying on her back now and saying out angrily, "Hey quit it! I'll be fine damn it! They'll never even see it coming! Let! me! go!" she yells out.
01[23:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody does. Too much tavern, sheesh./
06[23:59] * @SilentBrony|GM would simply laugh at Sagittis' attempts to do anything to him.
Session Time: Fri Jan 18 00:00:00 2013
06[00:00] * +Roy_Calbeck turns his horn on the pegasus and lets fly with a Night Vision spell.
01[00:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off finds her vision improved significantly. This made seeing much easier... though the pegasus mare really hoped that the filly hadn't veered in her course to... Celestia and Luna only knows where she's headed.
06[00:03] * +Sagittis tries to pin her again. "Don't throw your life away! You need a place to go and if you kill her, even if you don't get caught, they will stop you from getting to Flats! Your sister would want you to have a good life first and formost."
06[00:03] * +Dust_Off nods,  "I can't care you at the moment, Roy.  I have enough to find her."   She takes off again but at her regular cruise speed looking around for Grape.
06[00:04] * +Roy_Calbeck cups his hooves to his mouth and shouts after Dust_Off, "GOOD HUNTING!"
06[00:04] * +Slag_Heap watches her go. He looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Still got that cigar?"
06[00:04] * +Roy_Calbeck nods, hoofing it back over.
06[00:04] * +Slag_Heap shakes his head, then pulls out his lighter. He's still smoking his own. He lights his llighter. "Want a light?"
06[00:05] * +Sour_Grape sides down a dune. Wheeeeeee
01[00:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis is succesfful in pinning Sweet Melody who attempts to fight the buck fruitlessly in his might. Giving up and panting, the earth pony mare says in a tone of anger, beginning to cry, "I-.. I.. I got to get her! Sh-She killed my on-only family I had! I- I'll j-just go s-somewhere e-else! I- I don't... don't need... Glassy F-Flats..."
06[00:08] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Sure. It'll help keep me a little warmer."
01[00:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape continues on... fucking shit, so much sand everywhere. No matter how often she flaps her wings, sand always manages to find it's way inbetween her tiny feathers. Oh well...  sliding down another sand Dune, the filly feels her hooves come into contact with something solid... uhh weird... it was like stepping on... metal or something. Dust_Off, flying off once more, finds it much harder to even take off, unable to use her Fantastic Filly Flash in her current state and with these conditions. Scanning the area, the pegasus mare searches for the wayward filly, but cannot find her... No... damn it Grape, where were you?!
06[00:10] * +Sagittis shakes his head slowly. "There isn't a better place that I have seen... I'll take you there. With me leading the way, we can beat them there, warn the mayor and have them be turned back before they arrive. How's that?"
06[00:10] * +Slag_Heap lights Roy_Calbeck's cigar.
06[00:10] * +Sour_Grape kicks the metal thing a few times, "Humm." She tries to dig at it to find out what it is.
06[00:12] * +Dust_Off curses and looks around.  "GRAPE?!"  The mare bites her lip.  "Dammit!"  She reaches back into her pack and takes a tin of Mintals.  The mare takes a dose and tries with chemical assistance.
01[00:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Each time Sour_Grape htis the metal thing it responds with a dull thudding, with the sand particle shifting about, revealing whatever the object was... very hard to see in the dark however, the stars being little help as the constant and progressively stronger wind currents helped move more sand particles to obscure the night sky.
06[00:13] * +Sour_Grape contiues to dig at the metal thing. Whatever it was she wanted it
01[00:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Continuing to cry, Sweet Melody calms down only slightly when she hears Sagittis' offer. Thinking for a moment in her sniffles, she slowly nods to the flufflecolt and replies, "O-Okay... y'you can beat them though? For sure?"
06[00:15] * +Sagittis takes a deep breath and sighs. "If I have to, I think I can, but I am hoping I can get Downtrodden, Flat's mayor, to make them see reason and cut her lose."
06[00:16] * +Roy_Calbeck puffs a few times on the smoke, looking at Peach Nectar for a moment and then out in the direction Dust_Off flew. "Hope they get back soon."
01[00:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape digs at the sand around the metal object revealing... a rather large metal rectangular track that was embedded into the ground. The filly could just /barely/ manage to put her fetlocks over the edges of each side of the wide track, but then again, she was rather small. She notes that it seems to run from one direction to another!
06[00:19] * +Sour_Grape blinks, she figures this track must lead somewhere... but where...
01[00:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off finds for whatever reason that these mint-als were just... simply the bee's knees! Wow she remembered before the past couple of times how it made her world so much more vibrant, but this felt /gooood/. With renewed confidence, the pegasus mare searches about once more, still affected by Roy_Calbeck's nightvision spell. Finally, near a strangely grooved portion of a sand dune that looked very paritally sunken in, she spotted /something/ below... pony shaped. In her supra-clarity she could even faintly see the glint of something metallic reflect off from the ground of the moonlight above.
01[00:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks at Sagittis for a while then smiles to the flufflecolt saying, "Okay..." then blushes a little adding, "Let's get going then."
06[00:22] * +Dust_Off unslings her MRR and fires several beams into the air and dives for the pony shape, rifle ready.
06[00:23] * +Sagittis nods slowly, twitching a little from the chem. "Stay here. I'll be right back with my gear, then we can go."
01[00:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Swooping down while firing off her MRR, Sour_Grape can distinctly hear the familiar sounds of the magical weapon going off, barely able to look up and catch a pony shaped object coming down at her location, as it shot off it's magical red beams into the sky, briefly giving out a soft red illumination... was that...? Dust_Off?
06[00:24] * +Slag_Heap puffs on his own cigar. "So Roy." He says, looking over at his friend. "You got a special somepony yet?"
06[00:24] * +Sour_Grape blink at Dust_Off, she frowns a little and tries to run in the direction the tracks led.
01[00:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar looks at Slag_Heap's question... seemingly interested.
01[00:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off can see the pony object... which was... tiny... begin to bolt in a certain direction.
06[00:25] * +Sour_Grape probably can't run that well in sand
06[00:25] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Maybe someday. Never have yet."
01[00:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 No, no she can't. But she looks hilarious doing so in her haste. Ruuuuuun Forest!
06[00:25] * +Dust_Off gasps,  "Grape!  Hold on!"  She flies after the filly.
06[00:26] * +Slag_Heap raises an eyebrow. "Never had one before? You're lying."
06[00:27] * +Roy_Calbeck seems to go introspective all of a sudden. "There was this one mare... Germania. A lot like Green, without quite so much psychosis. Earth-pony type. But we never really hit it off... she was a superhero, I was a Temporal Corps Guardian, it wasn't gonna work out."
06[00:27] * +Roy_Calbeck totally deadpans that last line.
06[00:28] * +Slag_Heap flatstares. "Now that was definitely a lie."
01[00:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody replies with a large tone of concern to her voice to Sagittis, "Umm... a-are you sure? It's dark and it's really sandy... would you be able to find me?" Peach Nectar Juice speaks out loud to Roy_Calbeck in a tone fraught with disbelief, "/Never/? That... I mean... I... don't wanna call ya a liar but... how can that be? I've seen complete shitheads get all kinds of mares... some of them even really pretty... and yer like... the sweetest stallion I know."
06[00:28] * +Roy_Calbeck chuckles, turning it into a laugh. "Maybe."
06[00:28] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes. "Nut job." he himself chuckles.
06[00:29] * +Roy_Calbeck coughs into a hoof, eyeing Peach Nectar out of the side of his face.
06[00:30] * +Slag_Heap looks at Melody. "Handsome too." He looks back at Roy_Calbeck. "I mean, look at that mane." He rubs his bald spot.
06[00:30] * +Sagittis ponders and nods to Melody. "Then follow me, we will get the food together and then go."
06[00:30] * +Roy_Calbeck blushes now, snorting and turning away to hide it.
06[00:31] * +Slag_Heap chuckles. "Well, it won't last. Wait 'till you reach my age. Mane's gonna get thinner and thinner untill all you have left is a face full of mane. Actually... probably not." He looks proud as he strokes his facial hair.
01[00:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice stumbles on her words a little when Roy_Calbeck looks at her, his night vision as well as Dust_Off's being long gone, "Uhh y-y'know I'm just... sayin...  cuz I m-mean... wh-who would give a fuck up like me a chance?"
06[00:32] * +Roy_Calbeck flips his tail at Slag_Heap, clearly put off a bit.
06[00:32] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at Peach Nectar. "Somepony who knows the difference between a fuckup an' a victim?"
01[00:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody follows after Sagittis, speaking with noticable reassurance, "Alright then."
06[00:33] * +Slag_Heap chuckles some more. "Ah well. Least you still have the mane." He looks at Peach. Oh he knew that look.
01[00:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to cut off Sour_Grape's path, being right infront of the filly. Oh thank the Goddesses and Murtaugh Dusty...
06[00:34] * +Sour_Grape slows down and frowns, "Hey yer in tha way, ah'm tryin' find tha treasure in the center of the desert."
06[00:35] * +Sagittis gets his stuff and makes top speed for Dune, doing his best to suppress his inevitable crash.
06[00:35] * +Slag_Heap chuckles. "Y'know, you two look pretty cute together."
06[00:36] * +Dust_Off decides she does have to thank some divine intervention.  The mare pants.  "By going off alone?  You could be killed!  Or enslaved!  Or eat!  Or placed in an orphanage where they make you wear plaid and make you have bland mane-dos!"
[00:36] <+Dust_Off> *Or eaten
06[00:37] * +Sour_Grape "Ah'd like ta see them try. An' ah can go off on mah own, ah can fight, n' ah was lone for ah met you guys."
01[00:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody is right behind Sagittis, the zebracolt of which doesn't take long for him to feel that notoriously sucky feeling of complete fatigue... the life almost literally feeling like it was being sucked from him, his legs becoming wet noodles and his stomach getting incredibly queasy... Ohhh fuck... why wouldn't his body stop shaking... it wasn't /that/ cold. Noticing his drop of energy, the snow white earth pony mare behind him asks out in concern, "Are you okay?"
06[00:39] * +Dust_Off lands, exasperated. "Yes!  I mean, yes, but Grape, I know you can handle yourself...but what if you do find more than you can handle?  What if you find ants?  Grape...I was so afraid when I saw you were gone..."
06[00:39] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to face Peach Nectar directly. "When somepony shoots at me, I don't blame th' rifle. I blame th' tooth on th' trigger."
06[00:40] * +Sour_Grape gulps at the ants, "I... well... don't know why ya care." She frowns again, "Ah mean ya don't care none bout Sagi, so why me?"
06[00:40] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Had to take a shot of Rainboom to catch up with you. It hits me kinda hard, but I'll be okay. Probably going to need to stop by the clinic again when this is done. Get a system purge."
01[00:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice gawks a little sputtering out, "U-Uh... u-um... uhh..." at Slag_Heap initally then looks at Roy_Calbeck for a moment and flattens her ears looking at him with sheer confliction. The mare can be heard sniffling as she turns away from the two.
06[00:41] * +Slag_Heap puffs his cigar and looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Depends, the gun could be badly maintained and shoot anway."
01[00:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody stops and says in complete shock, "You... what?!"
06[00:43] * +Dust_Off sighs.  "Sagittis is...there are many unkind things I can say about him.  He maybe a colt and I will watch over him for that.  However, you..."  She sits down.  "I care about you.  First you reminded me of my Sand_Storm.  Then I took you under my wing to teach you.  I worry after you, care about you...we both know the land is tough, but I want to....
06[00:43] * +Sagittis nods slowly. "I can make the stuff myself. No Legion love here. But I had to catch you. With how infatuated Roy is with that vermin, I wouldn't be surprised if he shot you on sight. I couldn't fail you like I failed your sister."
[00:43] <+Dust_Off> ....shield you from some of it."
06[00:44] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "Well it's a bit late ta be a sheild ya know!" She pauses and thinks about what she just said, "Wait, Sagi's still 'live?"
01[00:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks at the zebra colt for a bit, her look... just... unsure of herself. Resuming her pace she speaks to Sagittis, "F-Fail? What do you mean, fail her? How could you have done that? She was a guard for the Juices."
06[00:47] * +Dust_Off blinks.  "Last I saw him.  I was trying to talk to him when he told me you'd struck off on your own.  I left him and headed after you.  The others already left the gate and were following you."
06[00:48] * +Sour_Grape blinks, "Oh..." She looks a bit guilty now, "I just sorta assumed, what with the yellin' an gun' pointin' an kickin' there was gun' be ah fight..."
06[00:48] * +Roy_Calbeck arches an eyebrow at Slag_Heap.
06[00:49] * +Slag_Heap looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Whats up?"
06[00:49] * +Roy_Calbeck squints.
[00:49] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Not sure if dumb or just trolling."
03[00:49] * Migas ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
07[00:50] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Migas
06[00:50] * +Slag_Heap chuckles. "Not dumb. I've seen misfires because of shitty made, or shitty maintained guns."
06[00:50] * +Dust_Off shakes her head.  "I didn't want one.  We just didn't want Sagittis killing anyone.  Never mind the guards would have killed him, and probably had brought something against us.  I didn't want trouble."
06[00:50] * +Roy_Calbeck pffts. "Still need somepony to load it, somepony to pull a trigger, or at least to drop it. Guns don't go off on their own."
06[00:51] * +Sagittis sighs. "We were payed to look into the attack that Peach caused. We talked to her and we found her story full of holes. If we had just acted then and leaned her, your sister would still be alive."
06[00:51] * +Sour_Grape "So ya would'a killed him if it weren't for tha guards?"
06[00:52] * +Slag_Heap "What about.... robot guns." He chuckles.
06[00:52] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles. "Somepony programmed 'em."
06[00:53] * +Dust_Off thinks.  "If he'd opened fire, yes.  But I wouldn't have fired first."
06[00:53] * +Slag_Heap "What about if they were AI?"
06[00:53] * +Roy_Calbeck walks over to Peach Nectar, puts a hoof on her shoulder. "Point is, I only blame ya so far. You're not entirely responsible fer this. That's why I wanna give ya this chance. You should, too."
06[00:54] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "Whatever. Ah'm gunna find this treasure, you can go back to your dick fights with sagi till yer both ded. An Ah wont care none."
01[00:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody looks fairly conflicted for a moment... her face contorting initally as if she was angry. However it relaxes and softens, speaking with a tone of compassion, "But... could you? And would you have known she was going to die?"
06[00:55] * +Dust_Off frowns.  "I don't want to fight with him, Grape!  He's always starting something, and I try to keep things working."
06[00:55] * +Slag_Heap puffs his cigar. "Or like, alien robots from outer space. Robots that could, like... transform into stuff."
[00:56] <+Dust_Off> Alien Space Bats are the preferred hypothetical doers.
06[00:57] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "I could have, but I didn't know she was going to be killed. I figured she had all those other guards around, so... no."
06[00:57] * +Sour_Grape "Well jus' cause ya don't wanna don't mea ya wont, a ah don't wanna see either of ya die."
12[00:58] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Sleeping[A]
01[00:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody asks for Sagittis to stop for a moment.
06[00:58] * +Dust_Off looks at her hooves.  Ugghh her boots were covered in sand...she looks up, "What would you do with all of this?"
06[00:59] * +Sour_Grape "Um. Run away an' try'ta find an ancient treasure..."
06[00:59] * +Sagittis stops, shivering a little.
06[01:00] * +Dust_Off strokes her chin.  "We could send Melody with her sister's body ahead with Sagittis.  Let things cool down.  We got for treasure..."
06[01:00] * +Roy_Calbeck waits patiently for Peach Nectar to get ahold of herself.
06[01:01] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes, "An what about whatsherface. Peach, she's tha problem, not Melody."
06[01:02] * +Slag_Heap puffs his cigar, thinking about these space robots that transform...
01[01:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody trots over to Sagittis and places a hoof on his fluffy shoulder... going to say something initally, "You ca-- Ohhh... fluffy..." she rubs with a fetlock for a moment on his fur, then stops and pulls her hoof back, smiling awkwardly for a moment then shakes her head and speaking again in a compassionate but tearful tone, "You can't tell what's going to happen in the future... and you really didn't know my sister. I didn't know why she took such a liking to you in her diary at first, but... I'm starting to see why..." the adolescent mare smiles to teh flufflecolt.
01[01:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice turns her head towards the hoof on her shoulder, the mare's face streaming once more tears. Looking slowly up to Roy_Calbeck and gazing towards his eyes with her own puffy, swollen ones, her face grimmaces as she speaks brokenly, "I... I'm n-not... p-perfect... o-or or.. i-innocent... I... I d-done fucked up..."
06[01:05] * +Dust_Off shrugs.  "She comes with us.  We can figure it out....maybe she saves me a headache and solves herself somehow."
06[01:05] * +Sagittis smiles back weakly. "She was a good mare... I know I'm not psychic, it has just been eating at me, you know? Especially since I offered to help her set up in Flats before we left for the Hollow."
[01:05] <+Dust_Off> "Until then she carries things."
06[01:06] * +Sour_Grape "Thas not tha point though, Sagi don't like her an so long as she's round there's gunna be a fight bout her. We just need'a dump her in a town'er something."
06[01:07] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "Nopony's innocent. Doesn't make you evil."
01[01:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody lets a couple of tears fall replying weakly to Sagittis, "S-She... w-was... re-really good. I... I miss her so m-much already. B-But... at-at least..." closing her eyes, she takes a breath to calm herself, then reopens her eyes, speaking in a clearer tone, "At least she met someone nice enough to care for her... other than me. Thank you for... for helping me... for doing what you /could/ do... I'm sure my sister is thanking you along with Celestia and Luna." the earth pony mare then notices Sagittis' shivering and fades her smiles, adding, "Oh... you're freezing..." and wraps the colt in a gentle hug, rubbing her forelegs over his withers and back to generate warmth for the fluffle colt.
06[01:09] * +Dust_Off nods.  "Send Sagittis with Melody to Glassy Flats.  Peach comes with us.  We let things cool...maybe...hopefully.  Let Downtrodden weigh in on if he even wants Peach.  We give one mare a bit a help and send them on their way."
06[01:10] * +Sour_Grape "I guess... ah don't like her much anymore either. An' she's like not ah fighter, she'd holdd us down. Wasn't there that other town we went ta? Can't we drop her there?"
[01:11] <+Dust_Off> "Dodge?  That was irradiated, remember?"
06[01:11] * +Sour_Grape "But they moved tha whole town ta aother place though
01[01:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar continues to stream tears still fading her grimmace for a moment, but just sighs. Turning her head more to give the hoof on her shoulder a nuzzle, she says weakly to Roy_Calbeck, "T-Thanks... I... I don't de-deserve your w-words... or k-kindness... but... t-thanks all-the same..."
06[01:13] * +Sagittis hugs the young mare back. "Thanks, but I am used to the cold. The chems are just giving me the quakes." He nods slowly to her. "It was my pleasure. She was one of the few nice ponies I met in Dune. The few visits helped make the pit more tolerable."
01[01:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody pulls back from the hug and looks at him with concern once more saying, "Ohh..." then looks downward to the ground. Staying silent briefly, the mare then adds with a solemn tone, "We should get going again... I really wanna see this place." Breaking her embrace around Sagittis.
06[01:16] * +Roy_Calbeck nods, pulling the hoof back. "I'll leave ya alone fer a bit. Lemme know if ya need anything."
06[01:16] * +Roy_Calbeck trots a few yards in the direction Dusty went, trying to see into the night even though his night vision's faded by now.
06[01:18] * +Slag_Heap gets up and walks a bit further uphill, not too far from the mare, just to make sure she's safe. He keeps an eye out.
02[01:19] * Kar-Shower ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
01[01:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice turns to Roy_Calbeck and speaks out to the stallion, "I... I ain't gonna stick 'round here in this place... too easy ta get lost... 'specially with it bein all dark." the mare wipes her tears away with a fetlock and follows after Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap. The handsome stallion can't really see all that well in the night and... it's a little disorienting as he's stayed in one spot and swiveled about for a while... not having the absolute best survival skills, he really has no idea where Dust_Off flew off to...
06[01:20] * +Roy_Calbeck isn't heading out there, just trying to get a slightly better vantage.
06[01:20] * +Slag_Heap lights his pilot light for a little extra light.
06[01:20] * +Roy_Calbeck keeps his horn lit.
06[01:21] * +Slag_Heap extinguishes his pilot light. Yay redundancies!
06[01:21] * +Sagittis nods to the young mare. "It may not look like much, but it is home to good ponies." He starts back on the path.
[01:22] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Hm.  If this keeps up too much longer, we might hafta camp here.  Dusty's night vision musta run out by now, an' Sagittis SHOULD have caught up with Sweet, too.
01[01:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, Slag_Heap, with Peach Nectar get to the highest sand dune near them to look about for their lost comrades... but... really... at this point... they were utterly lost. All they could see for as far as they could see was rolling dunes... This... isn't good.
06[01:23] * +Roy_Calbeck growls and stamps a hoof. "Dammit, if he hadn't decided t'draw down for no damned good reason, we'd be halfway t'Glassy Flats by now."
06[01:23] * +Slag_Heap sighs. He looks at Peach. "You're from around here. Any nocturnal wildlife we should know about?"
02[01:24] * @Migas ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: See you !)
01[01:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar furrows her brow and looks back to Slag_Heap replying, "There's a reason why there's guides that show ponies 'round this place... cause it's big, hot, and easy ta get lost. And guides make good caps too... if they don't get jumped by the usual shit like raiders or radscorpions."
06[01:26] * +Roy_Calbeck checks his pistols and service rifle to make sure they're fully loaded and operable, then slips into his spiked horseshoes. Just in case.
[01:26] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Yeah, well that zebra colt is our guide."
01[01:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar adds, "And I ain't seen shit really out here cept fer radscorpions... and sometimes these... weird large bony lizard things... they're pretty big too... we call em dune dragons."
06[01:27] * +Slag_Heap flicks a switch on his battlesaddle and the ammo loads into his LMG. The pressure in his flamer regulates and he smiles. "So scorps and raiders. Just like old times."
01[01:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck finds sand! Goodness not sand in his weapons! Damn! So does Slag_Heap!
06[01:27] * +Slag_Heap blinks. "Dune dragons? How big are we talking about?"
06[01:27] * +Roy_Calbeck works on picking out the sand with his levitation powers, sighing. "Knew I shoulda packed some rifle condoms."
06[01:28] * +Slag_Heap checks his guns. "Awwwwww shit..." He sighs in frustration. He looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Think we can get some covers in Flats?"
06[01:28] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Prolly. Fer now, just do whatcha can."
06[01:29] * +Slag_Heap shifts slightly. "Not much I can do. No magic, no wings, hooves are too big, and I'll probably do more bad than good taking my saddle off here."
06[01:29] * +Dust_Off blinks and face hooves.  "Grim Pass.  Ya know they about deserve Peach and she deserves them."
01[01:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar purses her lips and replies, "They're kinda rare, but they're nasty... 'bout as big as a full grown pony... but full of these... bony plates all over their bodies... and they got these... glowy green eyes... heard their bites like... make your hide turn all rotten like a ghouls."
06[01:30] * +Slag_Heap hisses slightly. "Ouch..." He looks at Roy. "What do you think?"
01[01:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 
06[01:30] * +Sour_Grape nods, "So I say we bring her there. They have guards'n shit, an thas a good 'nough place. That way everyone's happy and nobody dies! I'll only come back with you if you promise me nobody gets killed." Nobody here means Roy, Dust, or Sagi.
06[01:31] * +Slag_Heap means nothing to the raider filly. WOE IS I.
06[01:31] * +Sagittis bites his lip at about the 1/3 mark... They were going to get themselves killed out here at night. He liked Sour_Grape, Dust_Off had made a decision that disgusted him to his core, but they had sorted through that, until Peach came along, he had kinda respected and liked Roy_Calbeck for his loyalty and Slag_Heap had a lady waiting for him... He taps on Melody's shoulder. "Hold up for a sec....
06[01:31] * +Sagittis ...I am going to send up a flare. They are not all bad, they have just taken in a spider." He loads one of his fireworks and shoots it into the sky.
06[01:31] * +Dust_Off nods and holds out her hoof.  "Deal."
01[01:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis and Sweet Melody make precious time to Glassy Flats. The mare remains quiet thus far on their journey. Remembering well Sightseer's instructions in how to traverse the sands from one side to the other. He also mentally maps out in his mind that the Ranger base's trail where they saved their armored asses at, seemed to be an alternate route as well.
06[01:33] * +Sour_Grape holds her hoof back and then jumps up to hug Dust_Off's eck, "Ah jus' don't wanna see any'ya die."
[01:34] <+Sour_Grape> neck*
01[01:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis would also note that he really has no idea how far the others rushed off too into the desert at this point as a lot of time had passed. Shooting up a flare could be pointless.
06[01:35] * +Sagittis still thinks he needs to try.
06[01:35] * +Roy_Calbeck grimaces. "I think we can't really make a move until everypony else shows up. Otherwise we'd just stumble around in th' dark."
06[01:36] * +Dust_Off smiles and hugs the filly.  "I don't either.  For all the trouble, Sagittis gives.  He is a strong fighter and a good colt."  She looks back at the metal.  "The others are waiting.  Let's bring them here."  She fires her Magical Recharge Rifle into air again.  You'd think FREAKIN' LASER BEAMS would be noticeable.
06[01:37] * +Sour_Grape climbs onto Dust_Off's back and sniffles a little, "Sorry fer running away..."
01[01:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis fires off... perhaps the most appropriate item in his aresnal for his cannon... an actual firework! Launching up in the sky after letting out a tremendously deafening boom that echoes off the distant mountains to their south, the firework screams up into the sky with golden sparkles trailing behind it until it reaches a certain point in the sky and explodes in a fantastic display of sparkly, glittery looking gold, red, and green suns and moons, finishing off with a noisy crackling of golden sparkly rain. Sweet melody... looks off in awe at the sight, going, "Oooohh.... Aaaahhh...." at the sight.
06[01:39] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at Slag. "Besides, Dusty's got her laser rifle an' Sagi's got explosives. Either of them get into trouble, we should be able t'see it from here."
06[01:39] * +Dust_Off turns her neck and nuzzles the filly.  "We were acting like idiots.  The smartest pony amongst us was you."
06[01:40] * +Sour_Grape nuzzles back. She didn't feel very smart, despite the mint-als. She had just assumed they were all going to kill each other.
06[01:40] * +Sagittis chuckles. "I'll make some more for your birthday, sound good?"
06[01:41] * +Slag_Heap spots the firework. "Looks like one of our friends is looking for attention." He looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Shall I send up a flare?"
06[01:41] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Do it."
06[01:41] * +Slag_Heap nods and points his flamer up. He fires for about three seconds.
01[01:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape and Dust_Off being up in the air can notice two distinct sights... One being... rather spectacular... The first being on the ground a large gout of orange glowing on the ground not too incredibly far from the location... however further off in an opposite direction, of which to Sour_Grape... is perhaps the most dazzling sight she's /ever/ seen in her life... more so than Dust_Off's aerial displays... is the fireworks show way off . The night sky being as dark as it was, made anything bright and flashy very noticable.
01[01:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck can also see the firework display... not being able to see the somewhat faint red streaks of a pegasexy's magical weapon.
06[01:48] * +Sour_Grape ooooohs, "Pretty lights."
06[01:49] * +Roy_Calbeck peers out into the distance. "Two marks. That's gotta be Dusty, an' that's gotta be Sagi. We rally on th' Captain."
06[01:49] * +Roy_Calbeck redacts that for stupid reading inabilities
06[01:50] * +Roy_Calbeck peers out into the distance. "Two marks. That's gotta be Sagi. We rally on him, regroup until Dusty can find us all. She shoulda seen that too."
06[01:51] * +Roy_Calbeck starts trotting in that direction.
01[01:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To note, thanks to their mint-al consumption, the dazzling fireworks better than anything that Dust_Off or Sour_Grape had ever seen. The already bright, flashy, vibrant colors and lights being nearly twice if not three times as so
01[01:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 They LOOK better
06[01:51] * +Roy_Calbeck keeps his horn lit as he goes, for what that's worth.
06[01:52] * +Slag_Heap nods and walks after Roy_Calbeck. "Ever seen anything like that?" he asks Peach
06[01:53] * +Dust_Off sees the flames and fireworks.  "Oooooooo.....ahhhhh!  So preetttty...."  She shakes her head,  "Okay that's Slag's flamer and Sagittis's fireworks.  Let's got find them.  We can attend to treasure after we dump these two troublesome mares somewhere."  She thinks a moment.  "Oh shit.  I can't send Sagittis on ahead anyways.  He might blow up on that...
01[01:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sadly Peach Nectar Juice has been bitten by the Roy_Calbeck oblivious bug, not catching either sights and shaking her head in confusion to Slag_Heap's question asking, "Seen what?"
[01:53] <+Dust_Off> ...on that Enclaver in Glassy Flats."
06[01:53] * +Slag_Heap blinks. "The.. nevermind." He keeps marching.
06[01:54] * +Sour_Grape "Lets find them first an talk er whatever. Sides, he never blew up on them 'fore."
01[01:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Using the various signal and light sources, eventually Sour_Grape and Dust_Off meet back up with Slag_Heap, Roy_Calbeck and Peach Nectar... Dusty feeling very fatigued from the constant flying in poor conditions, the sand also getting inbetween her feathery wings, causing more strain. She would need a serious massage at this point as well as some rest to recover. Sweet Melody still with Sagittis smiles a little to the zebra colt and replies, still looking up in the sky, "That... if... we still keep in contact... yeah... that'd be nice..." she then looks down to him and furrows her brow in slight concern, asking, "Do you think your friends saw it then?"
06[01:57] * +Dust_Off looks over at Sour_Grape, "I like Sagittis.  I never said he wasn't hideously unstable at times.  He's just about threatened to kill Enclavers.  Which does include my family."
06[01:58] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to the Captain and Sour as the two groups link up.
06[01:58] * +Sour_Grape "Yeah, but he never killed that guy last time, or you. An' I doubt he's going ta bump inta any random enclavers."
06[01:59] * +Sagittis nods slowly. "I hope so. Anyway, lets keep going. If we meet up there is bound to be a fight."
06[01:59] * +Dust_Off shrugs.  "Hideously unstable.  And..."  She looks up.  "I hope someday maybe...my family will fix things...come looking for me."
06[02:00] * +Sour_Grape "How hard could it be ta fix things." She looks around at the group, "Right, we goin?"
06[02:00] * +Slag_Heap smiles at Dust_Off and Sour_Grape. "Welcome back. Find anything?" He's still walking.
01[02:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody nods to Sagittis with... a bit of concern and follows after the colt once he resumes his trek.
06[02:01] * +Dust_Off smiles at Slag_Heap and Roy and nods to Peach.  "Found something metal out there.  But we need to get going.  We can come back."
06[02:03] * +Sour_Grape "It was a track."
06[02:03] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Yes, ma'am."
06[02:04] * +Sagittis slows his pace to what he guesses the others would travel, unless Dust_Off and Sour_Grape scouted ahead. He is trying to give himself about a 30-45 min lead.
06[02:04] * +Dust_Off looks at Grape.  "A track and a metal something."
06[02:06] * +Sagittis is also going to set off another firework at about the 2/3 mark to make sure the others don't wander off track.
06[02:08] * +Sour_Grape "It was a track made'a metal, ah think. Anyway lets go, is late'n cold."
06[02:08] * +Slag_Heap looks at Dust_Off and Sour_Grape. "Track as in path, or track as in for trains?"
06[02:08] * +Roy_Calbeck moves out. "I've got a mark on Sagi's last position. He's ahead, knows th' way, so I can vector off his last position ta get us to Glassy Flats. We'll meet him there."
01[02:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group, with Sagittis and Sweet Melody way out in the lead, traverse their way through the blasted sands. Though it was cold, the trek was still rather tiresome, at least one container of some form of hydrating liquid and packet of food /should/ be consumed on their journey for health purposes. With Roy_Calbeck's budding survival instincts and Sagittis' incredible light show, to which all see at this point, the group continues their way. However Sour_Grape, Roy_Calbeck, Dust_Off, and Slag_Heap with Peach Nectar are still a couple hours behind, on the road to Glassy Flats... /almost/ out of the Blasted Sands themselves. At this point, Sagittis and Sweet Melody reach the settlement themselves.
06[02:10] * @SilentBrony|GM is once again... redundancy overlord-master. Shuddap.
06[02:11] * +Roy_Calbeck hydrates and munches enroute.
06[02:11] * +Sagittis shares the last of the soup he made for the party with Melody. "Well, here it is. Glassy Flats. The nice settlement."
06[02:11] * +Slag_Heap had water but no food. He had dinner almost literally before coming out.
06[02:12] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around. "Anypony else need anything?"
06[02:12] * +Roy_Calbeck chompfs through a box of Apple Sugar Bombs.
06[02:12] * +Sour_Grape says, "A nap."
06[02:12] * +Slag_Heap shakes his head. "I'm good. Still got 3 bottles of water and a little booze left."
06[02:13] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. He makes sure Peach gets a bottle of water and some of that cheap food he bought.
06[02:14] * +Dust_Off waters herself and gnaws on a gecko sausage.  "Sagittis to stop and stay where he fires fireworks instead up having a mobile Ascension Day festival."
01[02:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Still morning when Sagittis and Sweet Melody arrive. The mare helps consume the last of the flufflecolt's soup. giving a tiny smile to him briefly, then looks about as they venture deeper into the settlement itself, coming up on Pumpkin Patches' shop down the center road of the so much smaller settlement... goodness.. after spending so much time in Dune... this was.... so seemingly insiginifcant compared to it. The occassional guard strolling about manages to see the two enter with a cautious stare initally... but nothing malicious like the Dune security that the zebra experienced... with it's prejudice.
06[02:15] * +Sour_Grape "He prolly just doesn't wanna wait round but does want us ta not get lost and die."
01[02:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Turning to the flufflecolt, Sweet Melody speaks, "It looks.... nice... thats for sure... it has a kind of cozy feel to it..." frowning sadly at first, the pretty adolescent mare then steels herself with an expression of resolve and asks sternly, "Where do they bury their dead?" not looking to Sagittis as they trot.
01[02:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice looks rather fatigued herself. Panting slightly as she trots with the main group.
06[02:17] * +Dust_Off snorts, "So he wanders off, instead of waiting for us.  Not sure if we can see his artificial rainbooms.
[02:18] <+Dust_Off> "Sagittis also rarely does anything without a plan.  As harebrained as they may seem."
06[02:18] * +Roy_Calbeck eyerolls. "Pretty sure it's more about not wantin' another altercation. That's fine. Shows he's learning to deal with things he doesn't like."
06[02:19] * +Sagittis tilts his head slowly to Melody. "I am sorry, but I can't say." He waves to the guards as they pass. "We can ask the mayor when we get him to turn Peach away."
06[02:23] * +Dust_Off sighs.  "I sure hope so..."  She looks at Roy_Calbeck and Peach Nectar.  "Sour_Grape and I talked.  We came up with the idea.  If Sagittis plans on settling Melody in Glassy Flats, we could take you, Peach, to another town near by."
01[02:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Melody shakes her head and approaches one of the town guards softening her face and speaking with a forlorn tone, "E-excuse me m-ma'am..." A guard mare with a latern hanging on a stick off to her left side, lit with a flame, turns to Sweet Melody replying with a small smile, "Yes miss?" The snow white mare going to bury her departed sister sighs and speaks to the townguard, "Where... is the cemetary around here? My dad died somewhere around here long ago when I was real little and my mom and I couldn't make the trip here because it was too dangerous... I wanna try and find his grave." The Guard mare looking saddened by the tale flattens her ears and points to it's direction speaking, "Just north and to the east... you'll see a small trail and a broken fence... inside the fence is where it's at." Nodding and giving a bittersweet smile, Melody says, "T-Thanks... I really appreciate it..." then makes her way to the location.
06[02:25] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks at Dust_Off. "You mean that place the Grim Passers moved to?"
01[02:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar looks at Dust_Off when she speaks asking curiously, "Another town? Only other one I know of is Grim Pass on this side of the Blasted Sands..." she then makes a disturbed face, like she's seen something incredibly gross and says, "Oh... is... that where you mean?" then winces and tries to hide her further disgusted expression at Roy_Calbeck's words.
06[02:25] * +Sagittis follows Melody. "Would you like to do this on your own while I talk to the mayor and handle Peach or would you like some company?"
06[02:26] * +Sour_Grape "Thats tha one. 'Cause honestly, havin' Peach an' Melody in tha same place is gunna end in blood, an' it ain't realy fair ta Melody who never did anythin' ta deserve this."
06[02:26] * +Sour_Grape points out to Peach, "An' by all rights ya /should/ be dead, ya don't really get the right ta be picky."
06[02:28] * +Dust_Off looks at Peach.  "Grimm Pass moved on account of a cloud of fallout.  It's not great, but it's civilized.  A second chance for you.  Better than most get."
01[02:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody replies to Sagittis with a small smile as they make their way to the graveyard, "If you want... I think my sister would've liked you being there for her burial." Passing by the familar makeshift townsquare that the N.P.L. and M.A.C. did battle with once ago, Sagittis sees the wall now on the north side was virtually complete... with even a metal door and guard posted at it. The east side of the town was now getting a similar wall. Passing the guard, he allows the two to go through it saying with a smile to the two, "Welcome to Glassy Flats." Once on the other side, Melody makes her way down a small nearly undiscernable trail at this time of night that cut off from the main road leading to the mall that held the Scorpion merc guild.
06[02:30] * +Roy_Calbeck nods at Sour. "I'd prefer t'talk her down, but I don't realistically think that's gonna happen. Especially given what Sagittis was sayin' back at th' gates to 'er... he's set on this vengeance kick, an' if he can't do it, he'll try t'cadge Miss Melody into it."
01[02:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar opens her mouth then shuts it when Sour_Grape speaks and just nods, looking towards the ground.
06[02:32] * +Sour_Grape shrugs, "Feel free'ta try, but ah'm just givin' other options that wont end if bullets.
06[02:32] * +Sagittis pats Melody's wither. "I'll meet you there. I'm going to get a shovel from Pumpkin, the local shopkeep."
06[02:33] * +Dust_Off nods.  "I'll stay with Peach, if you want to try, Roy."
06[02:34] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "No, I think you're right." He turns to Peach Nectar. "That said, it's your decision. If you prefer Glassy Flats, an' think you could patch fences with Miss Melody, it's up to you. You didn't have anything to do with her sister's murder, regardless of your addiction --- you were stuck in a hospital bed at the time."
01[02:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody shakes her head to Sagittis speaking, "Unless you want it for yourself, I already have one." Motioning with her head towards the rolled up sheet that looked a little skewed on one end, that was on her back... the sheet containing more than likely her sister's remains.
06[02:34] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles at Dusty. "Thanks. Depends on what Peach here wants to try."
06[02:36] * +Sagittis stops. "Oh. Okay then." He follows her. "I'm sure I have a tool or two I could use."
01[02:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Finding a rather quaint plot of dusty ground with make shift headstones made mainly out of scrap or wood, Sweet Melody makes her way to an unoccupied plot of land and places the rolled up sheet reverently on the ground, unfurling it just enough to reveal an old rusty shovel. Pausing for a moment, the mare sniffles then rerolls the sheet slowly, then closes her eyes and bows her head over the sheet... murming something very quietly to herself. Once done, the earth pony mare gets up and begins to dig the plot of earth with the shovel, tears beginning to fall down her face before Sagittis as she does so.
01[02:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice sighs and says to Roy_Calbeck, "I... I'll probably be better off in Grim pass... she deserves better than I do. I... I should be dead."
06[02:41] * +Slag_Heap keeps to his marching, silently.
06[02:42] * +Sagittis looks through his stuff for a valid tool and settles on his old helmet. He stands by for permission before joining in the digging.
06[02:43] * +Roy_Calbeck nods respectfully. "That's that, then. Once we're in town, I'll give you the pistol, food, water and directions --- it's not terribly far."
01[02:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody doesn't prevent Sagittis from assisting her. Thanks to his efforts, it cuts down on the time required to dig the grave, basically making it only about an hour pass to dig down deep enough for the body to be properly buried. Climbing out of the small pit by using her saddlebags as a makeshift step-stool, the earthpony mare reaches down to help Sagittis out. Once the flufflecolt persumably accepts her aid (or just gets out under his own volition) the pretty, but now very dirty mare, goes to lift the body up and place it in the grave.
06[02:47] * +Sagittis accepts the aid, but lets Melody carry the body, figuring this was something she should probably be the one to do.
06[02:47] * +Slag_Heap marches. "Should be coming up on Glassy soon..."
01[02:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The main group, can see the darkened sky beginning to start brightening ever so slowly... the only good thing about staying up all night... was watching the morning sunrise of the desert wasteland... truly it was always a beautiful sight... even if the land was broken and scarred. After placing the body in the grave, Sweet Melody shudders and sobs softly, speaking in a broken tone, "I... I love you s-sister... I... I'll see you again... o-one day..." then fills the grave with her shovel.
03[02:49] * Micro_Sparkle ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[02:50] * +Sour_Grape yawns and smacks her lips together. "Pretty."
06[02:51] * +Dust_Off yawns.  "I wish we could just sit an enjoy these one day."
06[02:51] * +Roy_Calbeck hums a cadence, seemingly unaffected by the long night march as he ambles in the general direction of the rising sun.
[02:53] <+Roy_Calbeck> "o/` Sun come up one mornin' / And there upon the wall / The scorps an' th' roaches / Were playin' basket-ball..."
06[02:54] * +Slag_Heap looks at Dust_Off. "Probably be able to tomorrow. After this, we don't really have many prior engagements, do we?"
06[02:54] * +Sagittis gives Melody a half hug. "But no time soon. I am going to need to go see the mayor now. Please stay here. I will come get you when this is done."
[02:55] <+Roy_Calbeck> "o/` The score was six-to-nothin' / And the roaches were ahead / I got so damned excited / I fell right outta bed..."
06[02:55] * +Roy_Calbeck lapses back into his humming.
01[02:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Melody sniffles and looks at Sagittis speaking, "I... sorta wanted to... take a shower... this place has one doesn't it?"
06[02:56] * +Sagittis ponders. "I... think so."
01[02:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Melody gives a small sigh and trots forward to Sagittis speaking to him as she places a dirt-caked hoof on his shoulder, "Sagittis... I wanted to tell you... thanks... Thank you so much for being here with me... for letting me know about this... for finding out how my sister died and seeing the fucker pay for it. T.. Thank you for actually liking and caring for her..." giving the zebra flufflecolt a gaze the mare inches forward to give him a sweet kiss on his lips.
06[02:58] * +Dust_Off glances back at Roy, "o/` One of these days I'm going to kill the bugler/ One of these days they're going to find him dead/ and then I'll get that other buck, the one that wakes the bugler up..."
06[02:59] * +Roy_Calbeck laughs. "Good one..."
01[03:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar just looks about between the two as they sing... The entire group being able to notice the few familar land marks that told them that they were almost at Glassy Flats... it really wouldn't be long now.
06[03:00] * +Dust_Off smiles.  "Not so much of a song but a promise..."
[03:00] <+Roy_Calbeck> "o/` My Captain has a first name / It'
06[03:00] * +Slag_Heap keeps marching. He drops the very small remains of his cigar on the sand and stamps the tiny thing out. He keeps marching.
06[03:03] * +Sagittis blinks in surprise before his eyes go wide as saucers and he gets his first kiss... from an older mare... in a graveyard... covered in dirt... this would be an interesting story, but screw it, this was nice. "Agubunubugubwa...?"
[03:03] <+Roy_Calbeck> s D-U-S-T-Y / My Captain has a pretty mane / That streams out when she fly / Oh, I take her orders ev'ry day / And if you ask me why, I'll say... 'cause mercenaries have a way / Of earning hazard-duty pay!"
06[03:03] * +Dust_Off glances at Roy_Calbeck, "That's getting close to resemblance."
06[03:04] * +Dust_Off grins, "Okay, that is good.  You may sing that at any time."
[03:04] <+Dust_Off> She of course tosses her streaming mane.
06[03:05] * +Sour_Grape groans
06[03:05] * +Slag_Heap snorts in amusement. He keeeeeeeeeeeps marching.
06[03:05] * +Roy_Calbeck grins at Dust_Off. "Why thank you, ma'am."
01[03:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sweet Melody is not much older than Sagittis. Technically they're still both minors. It wasn't incredibly long, but it was bittersweet. Pulling back, the mare sniffles still looking incredibly sad as she speaks, "I'm... going to go look for a shower now... Thank you Sagi..." giving at tiny smile, she caresses the zebra flufflecolt's cheek with a fetlock, then proceeds out of the graveyard, back into Glassy Flats, via the guard door.
01[03:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> (giving A* tiny smile)
06[03:10] * +Sagittis just sits there and gapes for a moment before shaking his head and running off to Downtrodden's office.
06[03:12] * +Dust_Off looks between everyone.  "Okay.  Just a thought.  Maybe we shouldn't tell where Peach is going.  Best Melody doesn't know."
06[03:12] * +Sour_Grape "Sure, whatever."
06[03:13] * +Slag_Heap makes a zipped lip motion.
01[03:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice just... blinks at everything. Then eyes Dust_Off's mane... looking incredibly jealous... the mare then just hangs her head again. Sagittis makes his way to Downtroddens home, remembering the layout of the town as it was small and he'd been there extensively, the door standing before the flufflecolt. At this point, the rest of the group manage to make their way into Glassy Flats... seeing the familiar outskirts of the much smaller settlement with the occasional townguard... The sky was much brighter now, the temperature once again rising already... though still crisp and chilly.
06[03:13] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Wasn't gonna mention."
06[03:14] * +Sagittis knocks on the door in a bit of a rush.
01[03:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Taking only a couple of minute for a response, the door opens to reveal the bleary-eyed stallion, wearing only a holster that was secured around his body, a 10mm pistol in it, the duster, bandana, and glasses missing. Blinking, he looks at Sagittis and smiles somewhat as he squints speaking, "Hey there bud... You're back... You still with Miss Dust Off and that band?"
06[03:16] * +Roy_Calbeck stops and turns to Peach Nectar Juice the moment they reach the outskirts. "No reason t'go inside at this point." The unicorn reaches into his saddlebags, producing five bottles of purified water, five pounds of food, his 5.56mm pistol, and fifty rounds of standard ammo for same. These, he presents to Peach.
[03:16] <+Dust_Off> "Just making sure...the Company can be...willful...and uncoordinated at times."  The mare goes to the gate to talk to the guards.
01[03:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice looks at the items and doesn't take them for a moment... She stares at them then looks at Roy_Calbeck gazing to his eyes and saying, "Thanks..." having a look of fondness about her. However all she does is take the items, stowing them and securing her pistol. Sighing heavily as she looks down to the ground.
06[03:18] * +Slag_Heap frowns ever so slightly. "Might need some caps. Just in case."
06[03:18] * +Roy_Calbeck lifts Peach's chin up, gently, with one hoof. "I've got two more things to give you. First, directions..." The stallion tells her how to get there from here.
01[03:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Reaching the first available on the outskirts of the town, it being a younger unicorn stallion, he looks at Dust_Off for a moment then widens his eyes and says with a smile, "Oh wow! It's you guys! Am I sure glad to see you! What can we do for you guys?"
06[03:19] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "No, but they are why I want to talk to you. They are on their way here and they are bringing a potentially dangerous mare with them. She betrayed her family and city to the legion and was involved in a hospital bombing all for Rainboom. That said, she has managed to get Roy highly protective of her. If she was willing to turn of her blood and those who raised her, what...
06[03:19] * +Sagittis ...would stop her from selling out this lovely place too?"
01[03:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden blinks and rubs his eyes, looking confused momentarily to Sagittis' words speaking, "What? Dangerous mare?? Why.. Why would they protect some psycho that'd bomb a /hospital/?!" shaking his head he tilts his head and says, "What she look like and her name?"
06[03:21] * +Dust_Off smiles at the guard,  "Have Sagittis, the zebra colt, and a mare already made it here?"
06[03:21] * +Sour_Grape is pretty sure she didn't know about the hospital bombing and that was done without her cosent, but whatever. "Yeah we're lookin' for'em."
01[03:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar Juice looks up and listens to the directions that Roy_Calbeck gave her and nods in response to them. Still... looking sad, she asks, "Okay... what else do you need to give?"
01[03:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The town guard speaking to both Dust_Off and Sour_Grape nod and replies, "Yeah.. came through her like over an hour ago... Kind of weird to see you guys split up. How'd things go in Dune?"
06[03:22] * +Sour_Grape waves a hoof, "Issa long story, did ya see where he went?"
06[03:22] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles. "The hope that you'll become a pony I can be proud to have helped."
06[03:23] * +Sagittis describes Peach nectar. "Because she didn't plat the bomb herself. It was planted to help her escape. She was hooked on drugs and Roy seems to think this make her a victim instead of a dangerous traitor."
01[03:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The guard points down the center road, there being three total in Glassy Flats with buildings and such, speaking, "Yeah... saw them go to the north gate. Not sure where they went after that. North gate is well... got the only standing wall in this place. Just go down this road and you should see it."
06[03:25] * +Dust_Off nods.  "Let's go then.  Grape, we can take to the air to find them quicker.  Time for you to learn aerial recon."
01[03:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden nods slightly to Sagittis and speaks, "Okay... well, no offense... I'm gonna wanna hear his side of the story on this because you guys have done so much for us as a team. But rest assured I'll notify the guard to keep a special watch on her."
01[03:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar smiles a little to Roy_Calbeck and nods to him speaking softly, "Thanks... f-for... e-everything..." looking at the stallion for a moment she adds, "If... the wastes were full of ponies like you.. it'd be so much better... wouldn't be so fuckin... terrible... I'll... I'll try... really.. I promise I'll try."
01[03:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3  Peach Nectar asks then, "Do you want me to stay here then?"
06[03:27] * +Sour_Grape nods and jumps into the air and flies above the town looking for them
06[03:28] * +Dust_Off follows behind, watching the filly.  "A bit slower if you're really examining an area for something particular.  If you're just scanning for unusual things or in a bad area, you can go fast."
06[03:28] * +Sour_Grape points out, "Ah can't go very fast no matter what..."
01[03:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Taking to flight is slightly painful as their wings are sore, strained from flying in poor weather conditions, but they manage to get a decent aerial view of the town.
06[03:29] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "Where you go, and what you do, is up to you. I can't make those choices for you. All I could do was help out a bit until you could start making them."
06[03:30] * +Sagittis sighs. "Please do. The mare I came in with lost her big sister as part of the scum's escape and I don't want something bad to happen to her."
06[03:31] * +Sour_Grape toughs it out until she finds heads or tails of them
06[03:31] * +Dust_Off tries to, you know, spot Melody and Sagittis.
01[03:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The duo Pegasi fly about... slower unfortunately than they wanted, but do manage to spot Sagittis near Downtrodden's home which was within the main square of the town itself. Downtrodden nods to Sagittis yawning slightly and saying with a smile, "Sure bud, I'll be out poste-haste." then closes his door to go get his gear. Peach Nectar Juice nods to Roy_Calbeck saying, "Okay... I'll... probably rest for a little... then make my way to Grim Pass."
06[03:32] * +Sour_Grape floats down to where Sagittis and makes a whining sound and streaches her wings. "Fuckin' hurts."
06[03:33] * +Sagittis nods slowly ad waits. He jolts when Sour_Grape lands. "Aw fuck. We weren't fast enough."
06[03:33] * +Sour_Grape "Try to be more dramatic dumbass."
06[03:34] * +Dust_Off floats down behind her with a bit of a grimace.  "You should rest..."  She looks at Sagittis, "We're glad to see you safe too.  We were worried as well.  Thank Murtaugh, no body gotten dessicated by blood wings."  The mare might be a bit...sarcastic.
06[03:35] * +Sagittis takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I'm glad you are okay. You saw my signals, right?"
06[03:35] * +Roy_Calbeck nods, gives a final smile of farewell, and heads into town after Dusty and Sour.
06[03:36] * +Roy_Calbeck told her, of course, where the NEW site of the town is, not the irradiated hellhole where it used to be -:D
06[03:37] * +Sour_Grape "Yeah they were pretty. Don't really know what you expected us to do when we got here that could jepordize your plans, but it's not like it mattered. I got the super genius plan of telling Peach nectar where a different town she can stay at is."
06[03:38] * +Slag_Heap nods at Peach. "Good luck. Try to stay out of trouble." He trots into town beside Roy_Calbeck. "So, what's next? World Domination?"
06[03:38] * +Dust_Off does her best to keep quiet.
06[03:39] * +Sagittis blinks at Sour_Grape. "So, you didn't bring her here?" He zips up and hugs Sour_Grape.
06[03:39] * +Sagittis "Oh, that is perfect. Problems solved."
01[03:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar waves back to Roy_Calbeck staring at him longingly for a moment... then droops and sits on her haunches, sighing and closing her eyes. Also acknowledging Slag_Heap slightly as she drooped and sat down. Hearing Downtrodden door's opening and shutting, reveals the buck now in his duster with assault rifle and gear. Trotting over to Dust_Off, with Sour_Grape and Sagittis present, the stallion smiles wide, speaking warmly, "Welcome back to Glassy Flats guys! You sure are all a sight for sore eyes."
06[03:40] * +Sour_Grape acks and is hugged, "Well, she was brought ta tha outskirts an we sent her off from there. Thats good right?"
06[03:40] * +Slag_Heap nudges Roy_Calbeck. "You know she liked you, right?"
06[03:41] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "As long as she does not come inside, we are all good."
06[03:41] * +Dust_Off blinks...well...that's unexpected.  She turns and smiles at Downtrodden, "As are you.  I think we've had more than enough Dune intrigue for a LONG time."
06[03:42] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "I'm oblivious, not an idiot."
06[03:42] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Ya huh. Dusty figured it best we keep'er destination a secret. Also that I get praise fer bein' tha only one ta think'a such'a obvious solution." She breifly thinks about reprimandding him for going off on his own like that for his little schemes, but decides it'd be hypocritical, and she couldn't win the obvious counter-argument
01[03:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Not taking long at all, Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap get to the end of the street, passing by Pumpkin Patch's place and arriving at the town square, spotting their other comrades, /including/ Sagittis. Downtrodden is present amongst their group, smiling and giving Dust_Off a hearty, somewhat groggy laugh, replying, "I don't blame you... I told you guys it was a real shithole... Heard some stuff happened there over the radio... kind of made me wonder if you guys were involved in any of it."
06[03:43] * +Slag_Heap chuckles.
06[03:44] * +Roy_Calbeck trots up to the group like he would on any other day.
06[03:44] * +Slag_Heap does so too. "Morning."
06[03:45] * +Dust_Off whistles and looks mostly innocent.  "Part of it..."  She grows serious.  "Took out a big Legion scheme in the city and their camp...so it worked out great."
06[03:45] * +Sagittis blinks as Roy_Calbeck and Slag_Heap come over and he slinks away from the group, clearly expecting at least minor aggression. Ain't meth paranoia and mood swings fun?
06[03:47] * +Sour_Grape blinks at Sagittis, "Bye?"
01[03:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden opens his mouth slightly, obviously giving a surprised expression, though the circular shades he wore helped to obscure his facial expressions ever so slightly. Grinning now he adds, "Right on! Give another black eye to those slaving scumsuckers..." turning to spot Roy_Calbeck his smile fades slightly and says, "But uhh yeah... I have to ask one of you guys something real quick..." stomping his hoof to get the attention to a passing guard he motions the guard to him, speaking to the unicorn mare present, "Go get Tiny and with him, spread word to be on the look out for... Peach Nectar Juice... and watch her... carefully." the guard mare blinks in disbelief and mouths out initially, "P-Peach Nect... Err yes sir!" giving Downtrodden a salute, then the mares off in the blink of an eye.
06[03:48] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs and rolls his eyes. "Not this again."
06[03:49] * +Sour_Grape thinks she needs more praise for coming up with the fair comprimise, "Oh yeah, Downtroddener, we gave her another place where she can stay that's not here."
06[03:49] * +Slag_Heap probably hasn't been seen with this group by Downtrodden.
06[03:49] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles down at Sour. "Yep. That was all this one's idea, too. I hadn't even thought about some of the other places around here we've been that'd do well enough for somepony to live."
06[03:50] * +Dust_Off facehooves and looks for Sagittis.
01[03:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden turns and speaks to Sour_Grape, more looking to Roy_Calbeck, "That's great, but I had to talk to you guys about her... heard from your compadre that she's kind of a threat... planting explosives in hospitals and such. I just had to make sure you guys weren't... y'know... making a mistake."
06[03:51] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes, "Ah ain't gettin' involved in this shit 'gain."
06[03:53] * +Sagittis is not in stealth, just gave himself a little distance. He looks at Sour_Grape. "Melody went to get a shower if you don't want to deal with this and want company."
06[03:53] * +Roy_Calbeck snorts. "She was stuck in a hospital bed at th' time. Legion planted th' bomb, not her, an' I was th' one who teleported it outside."
06[03:53] * +Sour_Grape snorts, "Ah'm not takin' a shower."
06[03:54] * +Dust_Off sighs.  "We in fact had no leads as to the who planted the bomb."  She glances at the filly, contemplating ways to get her bathed...
[03:54] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Short of it is this: Peach Nectar Juice was a jet-head who the Legion suckered onto a Rainboom leash, then tugged on to get themselves intel and a hoof-hold in Dune.  Stupid, sure, but not a mad bomber mare."
06[03:55] * +Slag_Heap just sort of stands there.
01[03:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Downtrodden nods to Roy_Calbeck with a furrowed brow, his smile faded to a more neutral tone as he replies, "I'm glad to hear you were able to stop the bomb... Still though. I'd like some deta-.." his speech is cut off as the sounds of gunfire ring out somewhat faint to the groups location, coming from the direction they entered Glassy Flats from! Causing the mayor to turn in surprise saying outloud, "Shit! What was that?!"
06[03:56] * +Roy_Calbeck frowns, turns, and gallops off in that direction. "This BETTER not be what I THINK it is..."
06[03:56] * +Sagittis lifts an eyebrow at Sour_Grape. "Ponies will give a clean filly more treats than a dirty one." She looks over at Roy_Calbeck, tempted to bring up getting her kin killed and showing no guilt or remorse until she was literally facing a firing squad. He jolts at the gunfire and bolts in that direction.
06[03:58] * +Dust_Off curses.  She gallops after everyone, unslinging her MRR.
06[03:58] * +Slag_Heap is galloping. Yes.
01[04:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sound is fairly distinct, a sporadic series of gunfire bursts but nothing further is heard when the group rushes over to the direction of the sound. Along the way, they see the guards already reacting, either holding their positions or rushing off to the sound. Downtrodden yells out to those near by that hold their ground as he rushes by, "You! Stay! You! with us! You and You! make sure we're not getting ambushed!" Once they all arrive to the outskirts of the town that they entered from, they can see laying on the ground facing down the road, Peach Nectar Juice with several bullet holes in her body... mainly in her torso, a couple in the forelegs, with one hitting her neck... so... so much blood....  gushing mainly from her neck as she struggles to breathe, her eyes wide in stark panic.
06[04:02] * +Dust_Off looks for Melody as she takes to the air and streaks for Peach Nectar.
06[04:02] * +Roy_Calbeck charges straight to the fallen mare.
06[04:03] * +Slag_Heap spots the body and stops. He closes is eyes and takes a deep breath, then a sigh. "Dammit...."
06[04:03] * +Sagittis also searches for Melody, not really giving two shits if Peach lives or dies. He just wants to get to Melody first. He tries to track the mare.
01[04:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off being first to reach Peach Nectar Juice sees... oh... even with basic medical knowledge... sees that the mare is quite literally on the brink of death. A guard nearby rushes back towards the group from down the road they entered Glassy Flats from, When Roy_Calbeck reaches Peach nectar, the heavily wounded mare looks up to him with her panic-strickened eyes, softening only slightly at the sight of him, looking as if she was trying to desperately to speak something to the white stallion, reaching up weakly with a foreleg to messily slop blood on his armor. Gurgling, the mare begins to convulse violently, her eyes rolling into the back of her head.
06[04:06] * +Roy_Calbeck quickly levitates a healing potion out, popping the cap and pouring it down the stricken mare's throat.
06[04:07] * +Slag_Heap runs over to the group, seeing that she's actually alive! "Here to help!" He says, diving into his pack and bringing out his 2 potions and 4 bandages.
06[04:07] * +Roy_Calbeck has a second potion on standby as well.
06[04:08] * +Dust_Off nods to Roy.   While he stabilized her, Dusty takes his second potion and applies it herself.
06[04:09] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to Slag. "Thanks, get those bandages over here..."
01[04:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Melody nowhere in sight, Roy_Calbeck starts pouring a healing potion down the mare's throat, but her gurgling of blood quite literally prevents the healing to take effect as Peach Nectar convulses once more then lays limp on the ground... It was... way too late... she was beyond saving. Downtrodden looking down, says quietly, "Holy... shit... then looks up and spots the guard coming up to their location saying loudly to him, "What the fuck happened?!"
06[04:10] * +Dust_Off redacts that since the subject is dead.  The medic pounds the ground with her hoof.
06[04:10] * +Roy_Calbeck quietly looks down at the dead mare.
06[04:10] * +Slag_Heap was already applying a bandage, putting pressure on it. "She is not dying... she is not dying..." He hands a bandage to Roy_Calbeck. "There, and apply pressure." Field medic training, yo.
06[04:10] * +Slag_Heap did this before the confirmed dead.
06[04:11] * +Slag_Heap looks the body over, his hooves bloddy and the bandage bloodier. He gets up and throws the bandage on the ground. "Luna DAMMIT!" He growls and stomps away a few feet, grumbling.
[04:11] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Well.  That was a completely wasted investment."
06[04:12] * +Dust_Off looks up and puts a hoof on Roy's shoulder,  "Roy, I'm sorry..."
06[04:12] * +Roy_Calbeck slowly digs through Peach Nectar's saddlebags, taking her belongings, and almost as an afterthought checks to see if any of the rounds in the pistol were expended.
01[04:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Out of breath the guard shakes his head and says out loud to Downtrodden, "Some... mare... with... combat barding... and... a ... rifle... s-shot... her... she sh-shouted something first... b-but... I wasn't... q-quick enough to s-stop her.... she's... damn... she... fired so f-fast... th-then ran off.... that way." he points down the road where they came from.
06[04:13] * +Sagittis takes off down the road pointed out at full tilt.
06[04:13] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Sagittis got what he wanted."
[04:14] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Another pointless wasteland death with no chance for redemption or salvation.  Hurrah, hurrah."  The unicorn saddlebags everything he finds.
06[04:15] * +Slag_Heap finds a wall and punches it.
01[04:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Peach Nectar only had what Roy_Calbeck gave her.
06[04:17] * +Dust_Off watches Sagittis gallop off.  The mare shakes her head.  She looks back to Roy.  "Do you want help burying her?"
06[04:18] * +Roy_Calbeck leaves the mare's body where it lay. "No. She had no chance to earn that. She's just a poor junkie who was murdered outside a town. Can't spare the time to bury all of those."
06[04:18] * +Roy_Calbeck turns and walks back to town.
06[04:19] * +Slag_Heap is pissed off, and punches the wall again. "Fuck... fuck fuck fuck... dammit."
01[04:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 On a tragic cliffhanger, we end our session once more with the demise of Peach Nectar Juice. It would seem Sweet Melody was able to avenge the loss of her sister, putting down a possible chance of redemption that Roy_Calbeck strived hard to achieve. As the handsome white stallion stated, 'Another pointless wasteland death with no chance of redemption or salvation.' Sadly such the theme to this world... even with the sun once more shining down on the broken and long-twisted landscape. We will see what is to come of this event in the next session of Star Group, Fallout Equestria!
