FoE RPG G0 - #006 ~continent~

[19:51]<SpiritOfFate>	Group 0: *Epitaph* - Session #6 starts now
[19:51]<SpiritOfFate>	==============================================
[19:58]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick knack, the chubby mare, skips as guides you along with her, for dinner, or so she says. The length of road between you and the exit grows shorter. But the collars still weigh around your necks
[19:59]?	Royal_Lace follows not far behind, keeping an eye on her suroundings.
[20:00]?	Firefly continues to push the cart with her bestest foalsitter.
[20:01]?	Wintergreen continues to push, though she was weak in compared to... Firefly.
[20:02]?	Whisky_Heart follows as well, pistole still hidden and bomb still active.
[20:05]?	Firefly catches a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and nudges Wintergreen. "Miss Green, look! Its that old unicorn" the filly whispers to her foalsitter as they push the cart. The filly shifts herself and gestures at the old unicorn taskmaster with her hoof.
[20:06]?	Wintergreen turns her head in the direction of Firefly's pointing, looking for the 'old unicorn'.
[20:10]<SpiritOfFate>	Tin Cone, the unicorn taskmaster, trots to a shack by the garage's side, apparently distracted of what goes on.
[20:13]?	Wintergreen frowns, turning her attention forward and continuing to push.
[20:13]?	Firefly continues to push the cart, noticing an empty can near her hoof. She picks it up and sets it on her back between her wings as she pushes, working on her exercises.
[20:14]?	Royal_Lace keeps an eye out for guards, waiting to see what was going on and where this mare was taking them
[20:18]<SpiritOfFate>	Tin Cone enters into the shack. There are only the guards on the watchtowers out now. You are guided to the dusty garage. The chubby mare turns to the group, scratching her lack of chin for a bit. "Eh... No, I think this isn't that good of a place to leave this... where do I leave it?" She asks to herself.
[20:19]?	Firefly raises a hoof in the air. She has an idea!
[20:19]?	Wintergreen eyes Firefly, hoping she wasn't about to get herself in trouble.
[20:20]?	Royal_Lace sits once inside, looking back over to the little filly.
[20:21]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack smiles a little to the adorable filly. "What is it?" She blinks, and frowns. "You don't want to go to the bathroom, do you?"
[20:23]?	Firefly opens her mouth to say something, then closes it as she considers the very, very serious question. "No, I'm don't have to go. What about putting the cart in the shed? The old unicorn could watch it for you, and keep it safe!" The filly smiles up at the pirate mare. Clearly this is a brilliant idea!
[20:27]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack cringes. "What? No!" She frowns even more. "That pony already whines at me enough. He'd mess up everything!"
[20:28]?	Firefly cringes at the frown and raised voice, stepping back and hiding under the bestest foalsitter.
[20:28]?	Wintergreen keeps Firefly close by and hidden.
[20:30]<SpiritOfFate>	The mare grumbles a bit. "Ah, just leave it here. I'm hungry already."
[20:32]?	Royal_Lace sneaks closer to wintergreen, whispering to her. "Im not sure how much i like the idea of dinner with her"
[20:33]?	Firefly stays hidden from the Pirate Mare under Wintergreen.
[20:33]?	Wintergreen frowns and nods, whispering back. "Well... hopefully we'll be well fed... looking to her."
[20:38]<SpiritOfFate>	You are guided outside the garage, and even if it's dark, you manage to see the large expanses of the land around you, in a horizon much wider than you had in the last few days. The beaches down the road, the forest to your right and the plains to your left, dotted by a few lights beyond where you can see clearly.
[20:39]?	Firefly stays close to Wintergreen, unsure what they will find. Its starting to get late though...and the filly's tummy is starting to grumble.
[20:39]?	Royal_Lace blinks as she takes in the sight.
[20:40]?	Whisky_Heart Takes note of the terrain for future use.
[20:41]?	Wintergreen marvels at the terrain, so much different than what she was used to.
[20:45]<SpiritOfFate>	"Hey, over here" The mare calls you into the two stories house by the side of the garage, trotting in.
[20:46]?	Firefly stays close to Wintergreen, the mud well dry and flaking off with each step the filly takes.
[20:47]?	Royal_Lace follows hestiantly, hooves stopping near the doorway, a concerned look on his face. It has been a long time since she had been in a house...
[20:47]?	Wintergreen follows into the home, making sure Firefly stays near.
[20:49]?	Royal_Lace trots in after everypony ells
[20:52]<SpiritOfFate>	You enter a hall floored by old worn wood. Decorating the walls you see a collection of useless trinkets of a baffling variety.
[20:54]?	Firefly stays close to Wintergreen, but can't help but gawk at all the nifty stuff!
[20:54]?	Wintergreen can't help but look at the trinkets, still following the mare.
[20:57]?	Royal_Lace keeps an eye open, trying to learn the lay out of the house and see if she could spot any workers or other ponies
[20:58]?	Whisky_Heart examines all the trinkets he passes, paying close attention to each and every potential invention fodder!
[21:15]<SpiritOfFate>	Quite a few of these objects seem to have rods and pipes, all of them could be use as scrap metal. There are a few fans that could be sharpened, connected to a roller chain and a handle, though they would have to be detached from the wall separately. A few sculptures could have sizable nails taken away from them. Royal_Lace doesn't see anypony, though she hears a female voice and guitar notes from different parts of the house.
[21:23]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare calls the group into a large door on the left side. "Here, food must be almost ready by now." She smiles mischevously.
[21:24]?	Royal_Lace looks into the room, clearly nervous
[21:24]?	Firefly continues to stay close to Wintergreen. Her tummy rumbles, but the Pirate Mare's face is creepy.
[21:25]<SpiritOfFate>	There is a kitchen table with many chairs inside the room. Old, but well polished, and kept repaired, even if by many extra nails.
[21:26]?	Wintergreen hesitantly heads into the room, looking at the mare in suspicion.
[21:29]<Royal_Lace>	Enters the room and stands off to the side, Swallowing she addresses the large mare, "Pardon me miss, but I -well- all of us are quite new here. Could you please tell us what is expected of us here in your house? I would hate to accidently offend our new mistress in her own home"
[21:29]?	Firefly follows close to Wintergreen.
[21:30]?	Whisky_Heart follows the others into the room, examining the chairs to find one that wont be in any risks of breaking under him, he is a large pony afterall!
[21:37]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack smiles to Royal_Lace. "I just want you to eat. Because you did a good work. That's all." Though her face doesn't say so. "Ah, just don't break anything. I'll be right back." She trots into a door further into the house. Two others are here. As small jenny, and a cream colored mare wearing a pre-war dress, both wearing collars. They look at you, a bit surprised.
[21:38]?	Firefly waves to the jenny and walks over. "Hi! I'm Firefly! Who are you?"
[21:38]?	Wintergreen furrows her brow in worry and looks to the jenny, moving closer to her and whispering. "Why is she being... so kind, or... odd, towards us?"
[21:45]?	Royal_Lace rubs her chin, something was definately up. Lace starts looking around for possible exits if it comes to that.
[21:47]?	Whisky_Heart checks to make sure his gun is still hidden on his body with the charges.
[21:50]<SpiritOfFate>	Hearthy Broth shrugs at Wintergreen, at least about as confused. "Um, I dunno? She has been acting odd lately, well, more odd. At least ever since master Doodad let her go buy more slaves on her own." She turns to Firefly. "Oh hi! I'm Heary Broth. I dunno why you're all here, but it's nice seeing friendly folk." She grumbles. "At least folk that won't treat us like furniture." The other mare looks over at you, trying to understand what is go
[21:50]<SpiritOfFate>	ing on and failing. "Well, welcome anyway. So, you are going to have dinner? That is... odd. My name is Flannel. I'd be glad to... serve you? Is it? Well, we don't have many other slaves as visitors, so I'm in a bit of a loss. Forgive me."
[21:51]?	Firefly grins at Hearty Broth and Flannel. "Its nice to meet you both!"
[21:52]?	Royal_Lace nods, "Yes, odd is a good choice of words. Its a pleasure to meet you both, I am Lace, Royal Lace"
[21:54]?	Wintergreen nods, looking to the door Knick had exited from. "Nice to meet you Flannel, and again Broth..."
[22:00]<SpiritOfFate>	Flannel nods politely to all of you. "The pleasure is mine. So, is there something I can do for you, well if you are invited as visitors, I suppose that is how it goes." Hearty just smiles to all of you, running to fetch you plates from a cabinet.
[22:03]?	Wintergreen shrugs and shakes her head, sitting at the table. "Not for me, but thank you."
[22:03]?	Royal_Lace ponders for a moment before thinking of something, looking around to make sure nopony is listening she leans in. "Actually, there is something. The misstress wouldnt happen to give you access to needle and thread would they?"
[22:03]?	Firefly looks up at Wintergreen. The dirty filly isn't sure what she wants. "Uh...I'm ok. Thank you though."
[22:08]<SpiritOfFate>	Flannel nods to Royal_Lace. "Actually, I'm the one in charge of all clothes repairs and the like. Would you need some help with it?"
[22:08]?	Wintergreen smiles to Firefly. "Are you sure you don't want anything Firefly? I'm sure she'd have something..."
[22:09]?	Firefly looks up at Wintergreen, brow furrowed in concentration. "I dunno. I'm just hungry, but we'll get food eventually. Mama said I should be more patient."
[22:10]?	Wintergreen chuckles and pats the seat next to her. "Then go ahead and sit."
[22:11]?	Royal_Lace smiles, "Well actually I dont have the dress I want to fix up with me right now. A lovely old world dress I just happened to find out in the junk pile, a bit worse for the ware im afraid but Im confident I could make the nessisary repairs myself... if I had acces to a length of thread and a needle that is"
[22:12]<SpiritOfFate>	From the other side of the house, a shrill voice can be heard yelling. "I don't care what you think, or how long you've been here! My father is not here, you are just a slave and you wont tell me what to do! Just obey me and take the food there already!"
[22:12]?	Firefly climbs up into the seat and does her best to sit patiently like a grown-up pony. She only fidgets a little!
[22:14]?	Whisky_Heart has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[22:17]?	Firefly fails at being a grown-up mare. She turns around and starts to count the nails in the chair. "1...2...3...4...5...6...8...9...11..."
[22:17]?	Wintergreen frowns hearing the voice. "...Don't eat the food." She mumbles.  "Too... suspicious."
[22:19]?	Firefly pauses in her count, leaning over to Wintergreen. "But...I'm hungry..." She flashes large, soulful eyes up at Wintergreen. "Can't I have something to eat?" The filly asks in a whisper.
[22:20]<SpiritOfFate>	Flannel ponders a little and nods. "I suppose it's okay." She smiles to Royal_Lace. "I will be back soon." A deep female voice comes from the back of the house. "Hearty, dear. Give me a little help?" The little jenny leaves the  dining room "Alright mom!". You are all alone, except for each other
[22:20]?	Royal_Lace nods, saying her thanks to Flannel before taking a seat at the table.
[22:21]?	Wintergreen shakes her head. "Only eat If I do, Firefly... I don't think she'd just give us food out of the -kindness- of her heart..."
[22:22]?	Firefly frowns at Wintergreen. "Even if I gave her my biggest, bestest filly smile?" Firefly smiles as best she can, her eyes getting bright, cheerful, and full of hope.
[22:22]?	Wintergreen smiles sadly, looking to the filly. "I'm sorry Firefly... just wait, and don't eat unless I do."
[22:23]?	Firefly frowns and looks down at her hooves. She's so hungry...but she has to listen to Miss Green, or her parents will get mad...
[22:25]?	Royal_Lace looks across at Wintergreen, "I dont know miss green, why in equestria would she do anything to the food? I cant imagine her having anything to gain from it. What do you think Whisky?", Asks the mare as she turns to the colt.
[22:26]?	Wintergreen shakes her head. "She can't be trusted... she's up to something, and it isn't anything well-intentioned."
[22:29]?	Whiskey_Heart rubbing his chin "this is... very much strange... her father was always about the oney so he never really did anything to bad to his slaves, but i cant say the same for knick knack..."
[22:41]?	Royal_Lace puzzles over this for a while, "I wonder where he went, maybe back to equestria? Come to think of it do any of us really know where we are?"
[22:41]?	Firefly looks up at Royal Lace for a moment before smiling. "I know where we are!"
[22:43]?	Wintergreen looks down to Firefly. "You do?"
[22:44]?	Firefly nods up at Wintergreen. "Uh-huh. We're in a house next to a junkyard!"
[22:44]?	Wintergreen chuckles and pats Firefly's head. "Quite right. Good job."
[22:45]?	Royal_Lace reaches out and ruffles the silly fillies mane, "So we are Firefly, so we are. Im quite glad we have a navigator like you around"
[22:45]?	Firefly smiles up at Wintergreen and Royal Lace, happy to have helped resolved the group's problem.
[22:56]?	Royal_Lace listens to see if she can hear any more activity further inside the house.
[23:03]<SpiritOfFate>	Firefly, Royal_Lace, Wintergreen, Whiskey_Heart, even Ignis far away as he is. All of you feel a cold shiver that makes your chest tighten up. Firefly sees the shadows of the room darkening and wavering. You can hear your own hearts beating, as a ticking of a clock, but you don't know how much time you have left. The mysterious feeling disappears, leaving only the lingering memory of it. Inside the house, you hear something made of glass b
[23:03]<SpiritOfFate>	reaking, and the shrill voice yelling in frustration, to which two very distant voices apologize. Other than that, no noises.
[23:05]?	Royal_Lace eyes open wide in shock, a hoove quickly darting to cover her mouth to prevent a suprised shriek from escaping. What in the name of the goddess was that?
[23:05]?	Royal_Lace eyes move about the table to judge the other poneis reactions.
[23:05]?	Wintergreen shivers and shakes her head, trying to forget the feeling.
[23:05]?	Firefly shudders, pupils of her eyes becoming the size of pin heads as she starts to breathe hard in fear. She turns and looks up at Wintergreen as the sound of glass breaking removes her from the vision. She looks up at Wintergreen, beginning to cry in fear as she says "Can we go? I-I'm not hungry anymore..."
[23:06]?	Wintergreen looks over and gives Firefly a reassuring nuzzle. "I-it'll be alright..."
[23:08]?	Firefly shakes her head as she leans into Wintergreen. "Nuh-uh, we should go..." The rest is lost to filly tears.
[23:08]?	Whiskey_Heart almost falls out of his chair and quickly starts looking around the room!
[23:10]<SpiritOfFate>	The room is completely normal now. All that can be heard is the shuffling on the back of the house.
[23:11]?	Royal_Lace is still breathing heavily but has otherwise composed herself, Removing her hooves she could still hardly manage a whisper, "Dose anypony know what in the hay that was?"
[23:11]?	Wintergreen holds Firefly, brushing her mane in an attempt to calm her. She looks to Royal_Lace. "I'm... not sure."
[23:12]?	Firefly shudders, stopping crying just long enough to say "It was so dark..." before she starts crying again.
[23:14]?	Wintergreen sighs. "It'll all be alright Firefly... It's gone now, you're safe."
[23:14]?	Royal_Lace looks around the room, looking for anything that may be useful in case something dose go wrong.
[23:15]?	Firefly takes a look around from inside the comfort of Fort Green to verify the truth of that statement.
[23:15]?	Royal_Lace thinks out loud, "Dont worry, were going to be fine. Just stay calm..."
[23:16]?	Royal_Lace is having a hard time staying calm herself but is good at hiding it
[23:16]<SpiritOfFate>	The closest cabinet seems to have plates and bowls, and some drawers.
[23:16]?	Whiskey_Heart "well i aint a unicorn but im pretty sure it was some kind of magic...maybe she was trying somthing on us?"
[23:17]?	Firefly sees nothing, and starts to calm down. "I'm sorry I got scared Miss Green. I should've listened to Liberty Dream and never given up hope."
[23:17]?	Royal_Lace looks around to see if anypony besides those at the table were nearby that might see her scrounging.
[23:19]<SpiritOfFate>	The door to the back of the house is closed, and there is noone visible on the hall. The door on the other side of the hall is also closed
[23:20]?	Royal_Lace slides out of her chari and moves to the cabinate, sliding open the drawers to investigate what was inside.
[23:20]<Whiskey_Heart>	"maybe we can find the boss's office, or a workshop.. we may be able to get our collers off now" he ponders
[23:21]?	Wintergreen pats Firefly. "It's okay."
[23:21]?	Royal_Lace rummages through the drawers, "Im not sure we could easily get away with such a thing, not to mention we still dont know what that was that just happened".
[23:22]<SpiritOfFate>	The drawers are full of cutlery. Forks, knives and... spoons. Lots of spoons.
[23:24]?	Royal_Lace dosent see anything imediately useful but decides to take a full set, one of each of the small items just in case before closing the drawers and testing to see if the cabinate with the plates was unlocked before returning to the table.
[23:25]<SpiritOfFate>	The cabinet is also unlocked.
[23:26]?	Firefly sniffles and finishes crying, sitting back in her chair and trying to be a grown-up mare again.
[23:27]?	Royal_Lace smiles at Firefly, "Try and relax dear, when we get back to the house Ill show you a magic trick. Dose that sound nice?"
[23:27]?	Firefly nods at Royal Lace and gives a bit of a smile, but her knees are still shaking.
[23:28]?	Wintergreen sighs and sits back, taking a moment to relax.
[23:30]?	Whiskey_Heart checks the hall, listening to see if he can hear anyone else in the house still.
[23:31]?	Royal_Lace would be tempted to leave now if she wasnt still waiting on the needle and thread
[23:32]?	Whiskey_Heart would be tempted ot leave is a bomb wasnt wrapped around his head
[23:33]?	Firefly would leave now if she could bring Miss Green.
[23:34]?	Wintergreen would like to leave, but alas, bomb collar.
[23:34]<SpiritOfFate>	You only hear some shuffling in the kitchen, and a guitar from the other side of the house.
[23:35]?	Wintergreen sits up and looks to Royal_Lace. "Should we stay here?... or look around?"
[23:35]?	Royal_Lace rubs her chin, "I dont know... I might be able to find supplies but, Whisky_Heart do you see anyone in the hall?"
[23:39]<SpiritOfFate>	Whiskey_Heart can't see anyone, but the random notes seem to weave themselves into a song, a sweet one.
[23:40]?	Royal_Lace looks back to Wintergreen, "Wait here, Im going to go make sure its safe to move about... better for me to be in trouble than you, you have Firefly to watch out for".
[23:41]?	Whiskey_Heart opens the other door across the hall just a crack to take a peek in.
[23:42]?	Wintergreen smiles and nods. "Thank you. I'll be sure to make a distraction if Knack gets back."
[23:42]?	Royal_Lace smiles, "Thanks, but hopefully it wont come to that". Moving behind Whisky she takes a deep breath, focusing on her magic before casting a spell.
[23:43]<Royal_Lace>	Dispite the soft glow around her horn no other visable signs can be seen of the spell
[23:44]?	Firefly sighs before curling up on the seat that is one size too large for her and trying to go to sleep. She is a tired filly!
[23:45]?	Royal_Lace tries to stealthfully slip into the hall
[23:45]<SpiritOfFate>	Beyond the room there is a hallway, you hear some shuffling while peeking in, but there doesn't seem tobe in the in the hallway itself.
[23:45]<SpiritOfFate>	*beyond the hall
[23:45]?	Royal_Lace searches the hall carfully for any keys, hoping to find one to unlock the collars from her friends.
[23:47]<SpiritOfFate>	Royal_Lace sees a soft glow coming from one of the trinket full shelves.
[23:47]?	Royal_Lace sneaks quiely towards the glow and uses her levitation to sort therough the junk for the sorce of the glow.
[23:50]<SpiritOfFate>	Pretty much jammed into a bent tube, there is a pair of keys. They seem to be common door keys.
[23:51]<SpiritOfFate>	In the dining room, hoofsteps seem to approach.
[23:51]?	Royal_Lace looks at the quizzically, not sure what the actually went to she still takes them just in case. Puting the trinkets back she moves back to the dinning room and cancels her spell
[23:54]<SpiritOfFate>	The shuffling close to Whiskey_Heart stops.
[23:55]?	Whiskey_Heart moves back into the room to rejoin the others...
[23:55]?	Royal_Lace takes a seat at the table next to Wintergreen, flashing her a glint of the keys she found before tucking them back into her dress.
[23:56]?	Wintergreen smiles lightly at Royal_Lace.
[23:56]<SpiritOfFate>	Firefly sees a glow illuminating the hall as Whiskey_Heart trots back. It seems strangely familiar.
[23:57]?	Firefly looks up from where she's curled up on her chair. "Liberty Dream?" Firefly hops out of the chair and starts trotting toward the glow.
[23:58]?	Wintergreen quirks her head, watching Firefly.
[23:58]?	Whiskey_Heart blinks "what...?"
[23:59]<SpiritOfFate>	The glowing filly waves happily at Firefly from the hall, seemed to be all tangled in some equally glowing thread.
[00:00]?	Royal_Lace looks to Wintergreen, "Liberty Dream?"
[00:01]?	Firefly cocks her head at the filly. "Your stuck Dream? I'll help you get out!" Firefly wanders over and attempts to untangle the Spirit Filly from the odd thread.
[00:01]?	Wintergreen shrugs. "I'm not sure who Liberty Dream is..."
[00:03]<SpiritOfFate>	As soon as Firefly touches Liberty, the glowing thread evaporates. At the same time, a box falls from one of the hall's shelves.
[00:04]<SpiritOfFate>	Beyond the hallway, exasperated hoofsteps seem to go upstairs.
[00:04]?	Firefly grins at the Liberty Dream. "What was that stuff anyway?"
[00:05]?	Royal_Lace blinks at the strange scene, wondering who exactly the little filly was talking to. Casting a spell the unicorn pulls over the box for closer inspection, opening it to see what was inside.
[00:07]?	Whiskey_Heart leans in to see whats in the box too!
[00:13]<SpiritOfFate>	The filly giggles, "I found that box and it looked fun to play with." The box seems to be full of sewing materials. As you open it, the backdoor of the dining hall opens as well, Hearty bringing a large bowl of fresh salad on her back.
[00:15]?	Royal_Lace closes the box with a smile and hides it away, very pleased by the find... if still a bit confused about how it fell from the shelf to begin with.
[00:16]?	Wintergreen walks back to sit at the table, ushering Firefly to follow.
[00:17]?	Firefly laughs. "Ok, well, I have to go eat. You want to join us"
[00:19]?	Royal_Lace realizing that she cannot hope to hide the whole thing she slides a few needles and spools out of the box, hiding them instead.
[00:24]<SpiritOfFate>	One of the rolls escapes her hold and falls on the floor with a clatter. Several needles are still sticking out from her tail, visible in the light.
[00:25]<SpiritOfFate>	Hearty looks down at the spool rolling to her hooves, then back at Royal_Lace.
