  1. 12[19:24] <~Damhoof> <~Damhoof|GM> -----------------------------------------------------------------------Session5--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:00] <~Damhoof|GM> The group of tourist-faring ponies followed with Honeycombs plot and signed up as mercenaries for Instruments before proceeding to make room for themselves in the west wing. Night fell as the adventurers made their own bedding and tucked each others in. Chrome_Veneer had a strange dream about swimming in some kind of oasis of a sort, unable to move beyond the crystal clear waters of the surface as he watched into the abyss below.
  3. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:02] <~Damhoof|GM> Other than that one might claim that the day was uneventful and rather short while this day holds untold adventures. Will they check out the arsenal, or visit Beliciah the shaman? Maybe watch some arena fights or sign on themselves. The sun is rising. It is time for dessert.
  4. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:03] * +Blueberry_Muffin lies on her bed, Flour in a light embrace. She sleeps peacfully, her chest moving up and down in sync with her light snoring.
  5. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:05] * +Chrome_Veneer shifts around in the bed, waking up after have felt somehow insignificant in a dream of looking deep in to the deep depths of an oasis of water in which he swam in. Pulling himself out of bed, he stumbled on to all four hooves and managed to make it to a window. Disappointed he didn't have a good view of the rising sun he stretched and prepared himself to head outside.
  6. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:07] <~Damhoof|GM> The black hallway of wolf manor along with a very silent mansion greets Chrome_Veneer as he opens the door.
  7. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:07] * +Blueberry_Muffin yawns slightly but then goes back to snoring.
  8. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:08] * +Mayhem still lies in her bed, sleeping. The golden mare is curled up in her arms.
  9. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:10] * +Chrome_Veneer left his bags in the room, for now, and instead took light steps trying to avoid making loud clopping noises as he headed toward the entrance of the building. The sun was still rising, so he didn't want to wake everypony. Once outside, he faced East and sat looking to the Sea and then where the sun would rise.
  10. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:16] <~Damhoof|GM> His hooves echo on the hard and scorched tiles. Rebounding in the silence of wolf manor. The shadows along the walls seem to flicker and watch as Chrome_Veneer makes his way towards the entrance. As he sees the doors towards the kitchen a lithe yet catchy musical tune of drums and piano music catches his ears. Barely the unicorn can make out the growling solo singer bellows out rhymes. "You gotta do the cooking like a motherbucka! Take that butter let it sizzle motherbucka!" The guard at the entrance has changed, and the sun bats instantly bats down on Chrome for daring to venture outside.
  11. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:16] * +Blueberry_Muffin slowly wakes up. She had had a funy dream about her Mayhem and Honeyco- "Oh fuck, not again!" she whispers angrily as she picks up the smell. She is wawke immedeatly and slowly gets up trying to no wake up Flour. No idea on what to do or how to change the sheets before anypony would notice she decides to silently take a shower.
  12. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:17] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour moans loudly and rubs the sleep out of his eyes. The pale zebra colt stares up at Blueberry. "Morning already?"
  13. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:19] * +Blueberry_Muffin smiles at Flour "Yes my dear, but ya' can sleep a bit longer if ya' want. Imma take a shower now."
  14. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:20] <~Damhoof|GM> "Okay." His red eyes look around with a tired expression before he blankly yawns and lays his head back on the pillow.
  15. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:21] * +Chrome_Veneer it was a strange feeling, everypony just waking up and hearing some pony singing in the kitchen was mildly amusing. What was wanted though, was to just watch the sun for now. It would have been nice if he could have watched it rise upon the water like on the way here, but for now he would watch the sun, at least until he felt more awake.
  16. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:22] * +Blueberry_Muffin mentally d'awwwws before tip-hooving out of the room. She goes to explore the west wing to find a bathroom.
  17. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:27] <~Damhoof|GM> The sun relentlessly showers the world around Chrome_Veneer with its rays, and the blackened stone eagerly laps it up as if begging to be scorched once more. "Whats up with you? Never seen the sun?" A blue earth pony mare with lithe blue mane and deep violet eyes prod Chrome_veneer on his flanks. He takes note of her wearing a doctors coat.
  18. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:28] <~Damhoof|GM> Blueberry_Muffin finds a set of rooms near the washing room with spare bedsheets marked with the usual signs for mare and buck.
  19. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:30] * +Chrome_Veneer forgot about the guard near the door who broke his meditation-like state in fatuation of the sun. turning to see her he shook his head. "Not like i had before coming over here. It's much more warm now... perhaps a little too much later in the day but dawn and dusk it has a sort of majesty to it."
  20. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:31] <~Damhoof|GM> Blueberry_Muffin finds that the toilets are in the same deplorable condition as the rest of the west wing. Run down with dust and grime over the years. Clearly the wolf mercs are using a different one.
  21. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:32] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Not exactly what I was lookin' for." She exits and continues her search for a proper bathroom. She wanted a shower or maybe even a bathc
  22. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:32] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *bath
  23. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:32] * Damnfool ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
  24. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:34] <~Damhoof|GM> "Oh." The seablue mare nods. "I guess. I`m a second generation wolf merc, so I`ve been here all my life." She draws a grin and heads towards a strangely brown house next to the manor.
  25. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof> [20:37] * +Chrome_Veneer wasn't specifically interested, but naturally asked, "Where are you headed?" when the mare moved somewhere else.
  26. 08[19:26] * +Chrome_Veneer wasn't specifically interested, but naturally asked, "Where are you headed?" when the mare moved somewhere else.

  29. 15[19:27] * +Lemon_Cookie ([email protected]) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Damnfool)))
  30. 15[19:27] * Damnfool is now known as Lemon_Cookie
  31. 08[19:27] * +Blueberry_Muffin gives up her search and heads back to the main part. Maybe one of the other mercs could point her to a working bathroom.
  32. 08[19:28] * +Lemon_Cookie naps next to Sample.
  33. 12[19:29] <~Damhoof> "I`m taking samples from the well we draw bathwater from." The doctoral mare responds to Chrome_Veneer before shakeing her pocket. It clings with glass from vials left empty.
  34. [19:31] <+Chrome_Veneer> /me shrugged. "I won't keep you." he announced, looking to the sun once more before heading back inside, his destination straight for the bathroom. A certain pony happened to drown himself in water the previous night.
  35. 08[19:33] * +Blueberry_Muffin approaches the dinning room "Anypony there?"
  36. 12[19:35] <~Damhoof> The mares silvery laugh rings in his ears, reminding Chrome_Veneer of the seapony music britania had shared with him before, but shes quick to return to the large wooden outhouse as chrome_veneer heads back inside.
  37. 12[19:36] <~Damhoof> Blueberry_Muffin finds the dining room occupied by a few ponies washing the floor and preparing breakfast while an old radio blasts rhytmic music to provide moral support.
  38. [19:37] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uhm, hello. I'm lookin' for a bathroom, do ya' know where I can find one?"
  39. 15[19:37] * FloRad ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
  40. 12[19:38] <~Damhoof> They seem quite absorbed in their task, or halfway asleep from stirring awake early. Maybe driven by hunger. One of them approaches Blueberry_Muffin. A green coated stallion with brown mane. He sniffes at the air and wrinkles his nose. "Yea, the bath is like. In the middle of the eastwing, though its kind of being heated normally by the sun. Unless you want a cold one you might want to wait on it."
  41. 15[19:38] * Damhoof sets mode: +v FloRad
  42. 08[19:38] * +Chrome_Veneer thought about the sea ponies for a moment, he still had to meet with the shaman and ask what he could do to free them... he wasn't sure how to ask subtly either. He just knew he'd need to meet her to begin with, whatever he'd do aftewards. Passing by his room he grabbed a bottle of water in his mouth before finishing up in the bathroom. He wasn't that dirty, but used the bottle to rinse him off just a tad.
  43. [19:40] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Okay, how long does that normally take?"
  44. 15[19:40] * +Blueberry_Muffin ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Bye)
  45. 15[19:40] * FloRad is now known as Blueberry_Muffin
  46. 12[19:42] <~Damhoof> "An hour ish. We tend to bathe before lunchtimes." The stallion replies to Blueberry_Muffin while shoveling a chewing gum in his muzzle. "If you just want to wash just grab a bucket in the well and heat the water."
  47. [19:43] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Great, where can I find said bucket an' well?"
  48. [19:44] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "'Cause it's kinda urgent, ya' know?"
  49. 12[19:45] <~Damhoof> "Its outside, in the gardens." The stallion points to a side entrance within the dining room. "Don`t see why that is. You don`t smell half bad. Most of the guys on leave come home smelling like a dozen of you`s."
  50. 08[19:45] * +Blueberry_Muffin deadpans "Really?"
  51. 08[19:46] * +Chrome_Veneer found himself a little better than he started. There was a smell that was still noticable, but one that was ignorable, to the extend that other ponies could ignore it. He didn't feel he'd deserve to enter a bath drawn by other ponies before they themselves had access to it~ and didn't feel like hunting it down either. For now he just went on to the fountain, and refilled his water bottle, and drinking a bit as well.
  52. 08[19:47] * +Blueberry_Muffin looks a bit nervous "Look, I want ta' get that smell off of me as soon as possible, ok?"
  53. 12[19:49] <~Damhoof> "Then find a bucket in the brown wooden outhouse and grab a rag, or overpower it with perfume." The stallion deadpans back and mutters "Don`t see whats the rush.." before returning to sweeping the floor with a wet mop.
  54. [19:50] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I got a brother who'll ask funny questions I don't want ta' answer, that's the rush."
  55. 08[19:50] * +Blueberry_Muffin heads out of the room and into the kitchen she grabs one of the cleaner looking rags and heads outside to look for the brown outhouse
  56. 12[19:53] <~Damhoof> Blueberry muffin exits the door and is greeted by a mixtured ground of sand and black stone with actual grass and trees growing in the distance, and following the wall of the eastern wing she can see both the brown outhouse and a rather extensive well surrounded by cute seapony motif carved into the black stone.
  57. 08[19:54] * +Blueberry_Muffin immedeatly heads for the brown outhouse
  58. 12[19:55] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb stirrs from bed and wakens. Mayhem can feel a slight tingle as the unicorn spends magic to remove Mayhems hands.
  59. 12[19:57] <~Damhoof> Blueberry_Muffin is greated by a heatwave of steam and the sound of boiling water inside the large wooden outhouse on top of a lithe marely voice humming a clearly romantic song.
  60. [19:58] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Hello, anypony there?"
  61. 08[19:58] * +Mayhem stirs at the sensation and wakes. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she yawns slightly. "Mornin', sleep well?"
  62. 12[20:00] <~Damhoof> "Uhu." A voice responds from the front entrance. Beyond what is obviously a giant wardrobe.
  63. 12[20:01] <~Damhoof> "I always sleep well. Though this place is rough on my mane." Honeycomb responds while rubbing a comb through her blonde hair and smiling at the minotaur.
  64. 08[20:02] * +Chrome_Veneer finished rehydrating himself for the morning, and after putting his saddlebags back on walked back out the front, finding a shaded spot a ways away where he could stare out to the sea.
  65. 08[20:02] * +Blueberry_Muffin steps in further. "Can ya' help me? I need ta' get some water."
  66. 08[20:03] * +Lemon_Cookie sleeps soundly.
  67. 12[20:05] <~Damhoof> As blueberry_Muffin steps beyond the wardrobe she is greeted by a bubbling and sizzling pool of water. A pair of vials are lying on a scientists coat on the sides and a seablue mare with deep violet eyes sit alone in this huge pool. "Uhm. I`m sure I could spare some."
  68. [20:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uhm, oh."
  69. 08[20:07] * +Blueberry_Muffin puts the rag down and undo's her hairband. She loosens up the braids of her mane. She then steps into the pool and sits down "Ahhhhh..."
  70. 08[20:07] * +Mayhem stands up and shakes her head to get her mane into it's usual shape. She takes in the sight for a moment. before she looks for her clothes.
  71. 12[20:08] <~Damhoof> The seablue mare shifts her eyes away from Blueberry_Muffin and sigh samely with comfort. "Its nice and quiet in the mornings. Most of the guys are hungover or can`t be arsed to rise early."
  72. 12[20:09] <~Damhoof> "I took care to wrap them and put them over at the nightstand." Honeycomb hints to Mayhem before returning to her comb brushing.
  73. 08[20:09] * +Blueberry_Muffin chuckles "Can't imagine why."
  74. 12[20:09] <~Damhoof> "If you stay here for long enough you might." The mare chuckles back. "You guys are from Equestria proper right?"
  75. 08[20:10] * +Mayhem walks over to the nightstand and puts them on. "Ah thank yer kindly, Honey."
  76. 08[20:11] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Uh-huh. My brother an me are from Manehattan. Dunno 'bout the other though."
  77. 12[20:11] <~Damhoof> "Oh, its nothing." Honeycomb replies with a hint of embarassement before rising from the bed to check on Flour. "Hello little zebra."
  78. 12[20:14] <~Damhoof> "an`" The mare giggles. Brandishing perfectly white teeth along her seablue muzzle before hiding it with a hoof and looking a tad downcast. "Sorry."
  79. 08[20:14] * +Chrome_Veneer finds his view glance toward the brown outhouse that the pony mare earlier had entered. He'd dismissed the original thought, for some reason something about the pony reminded him of the Sea Ponies... not that he'd ever truly forgotten. Maybe she knew something of them? With this in mind, he decided to walk toward the building, wanting to ask her something.
  80. 08[20:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin tilts her had "Hm?"
  81. 12[20:16] <~Damhoof> "Blueberry let me sleep longer." The zebra colt insists as Honeycomb thugs him out of bed with telekinesis and runs her comb through his mane. "Yes, and you slept longer." Honeycomb retorts while looking at Mayhem. "Now its brushie time and soon to be breakfast."
  82. 12[20:16] <~Damhoof> The seablue mare tilts her head at Blueberry_Muffin. "I was makeing fun of the way you speak. I should`nt do that."
  83. 08[20:17] * +Mayhem looks at Honeycomb again. "Me could get yer somethin' ta drink up here, if ye got any bottles."
  84. 08[20:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin chuckles "It's okay. I got my accent an' ya' got yours."
  85. 12[20:19] <~Damhoof> "I didn`t bring any bottles with me Mayflower." Honeycomb replies while roughing up the zebra colts mane. "There. Much better."
  86. [20:20] <+Mayhem> "Hmm, we just go down there together then."
  87. 08[20:21] * +Chrome_Veneer made his way to the entrance to the small outhouse, knocking twice to make his presence known before walking in. The mare didn't sound like she was going to do anything beyond taking samples so he wasn't that worried. Walking in, "I had a question about something..."
  88. 15[20:22] * Damnfool ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
  89. 15[20:23] * +Lemon_Cookie ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  90. 15[20:23] * Damnfool is now known as Lemon_Cookie
  91. 12[20:23] <~Damhoof> "About what?" The seablue mare looks at Chrome_Veneer. Her body soaked in the blackened stone pool and deep purple eyes glittering with mist from the steamy bath.
  92. 08[20:24] * +Blueberry_Muffin turns to Chrome_Veneer. "Hi Chrome."
  93. 15[20:25] * Damhoof sets mode: +v Lemon_Cookie
  94. 12[20:25] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb pushes Flour forward and nods towards the exit for Mayhem. "We should all go Mayflower. This will be our place for some time after all."
  95. 08[20:25] * +Chrome_Veneer had just about opened his mouth but noticed/heard Blueberry soon after and shut it rethinking his thoughts. It would be sort of awkward to ask of Sea Ponies with her in the room. "Ah. uh.." He took a step back bowing out. "N..Nevermind, It's an insignificant question i had. I'll ask it when you're less busy after all."
  96. 08[20:26] * +Mayhem nods and follows her down to the kitchen.
  97. [20:27] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "C'mon Chrome. I'm sure a bath would make ya' feel better."
  98. 12[20:28] <~Damhoof> "Why don`t you join us in the water." The seablue mare laughs, her tune in line with the words Chrome_Veneer. Except it`s not alluring at all besides the quite similar tune.
  99. 08[20:29] * +Chrome_Veneer would admit, he'd rinsed off earlier but it wasn't good beyond ridding himself of minor impurities. Still, he wouldn't want to intrude on other ponies. At least until the seablue mare spoke once more, finding himself stepping forward. "If you don't mind i mean... I rinsed off earlier but those beds feel like the filth soaks in to you..." he laughed a bit hesitantly, slowly approaching the furthest end of the water.
  100. 12[20:31] <~Damhoof> Mayhem and Honeycomb get in the kitchen at the time when food has just barely reared its head, but the water tower has been filled and a lithe orchestral tune is rising from a hushed radio.
  101. 12[20:35] <~Damhoof> "I don`t mind you new guys trying out the stuff we have in wolf manor. It`s a big pool." The seablue mare smiles invitingly towards Chrome_Veneer.
  102. 08[20:37] * +Mayhem walks over to the water tower and takes a few sips.
  103. 08[20:37] * +Chrome_Veneer nods finding his own secluded place a bit away from each of the mares. It's been a while since he'd submerged himself in water and it felt oddly right. He gave a worried look to Blueberry for a moment when she wasn't looking, hoping she wouldn't delve in to his meaning too much, "Do you know about... sea ponies at all?"
  104. 12[20:42] <~Damhoof> The mare laughs a musical laugh and looks to Chrome_Veneer forgivingly. "No. I`ve only lived here my entire life."
  105. 12[20:43] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb walks over to Mayhem and the water tower with a few cups large enough to contain water. "Here Mayflower. I found carved cups with tribal carvings on. They are cute."
  106. 08[20:45] * +Mayhem looks up at the cups and doesn't recognize the carving. "Thank ye very much. They sure look pretty." She takes the cups, fill them with water and walks over to one of the tables.
  107. 08[20:45] * +Chrome_Veneer cringed, he got the sarcasm quite cleanly. "I mean... more deeply than other ponies fof this city." He decided to use this chance to avoid messing with his story from before, "On the ship over i was asking questions about the Sea Ponies before i was put to sleep and they attempted an escape, so i hear..." He paused, not sure how to project his question.
  108. 08[20:47] * +Blueberry_Muffin rolls her eyes
  109. 12[20:48] <~Damhoof> "Oh?" The mares violet eyes open up in faked shock. "Captives attempted to escape their captors. How strange."
  110. 08[20:48] * +Blueberry_Muffin chuckles "Chrome, our little seapony lover."
  111. 12[20:49] <~Damhoof> "Indeed. I tried to get us breakfast but its not done yet." Honeycomg grabs a seat and hands Flour a cup. The zebra colt gulps eagerly as the two discuss and quickly finds himself with Honeycombs cup too as she pours more into her own cup. "At least we won`t have to compete for spots."
  112. 08[20:50] * +Chrome_Veneer buried his head in the water, sort of embarassing having the ponies redicule him. Pulling his head back above water and shaking it a bit, "I was just interested in them! I'd never even heard of them before the ship incident!" he coughed a bit awkwardly, "Anyway. You..." He paused once more, but not long enough for her to interject again, "Something of you reminds me of them. Of what little i got to know of them at least." It was p
  113. [20:51] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "At leat the missus here didn't impale my bros jaw with a spear."
  114. [20:52] <+Chrome_Veneer> [ It was probably just in his head, really. ]
  115. 08[20:54] * +Chrome_Veneer instinctively found himself defending the Sea Pony, "That was their leader, she was severely injured and managed to escape. She deserved what happened to her, but not the captured Sea Ponies."
  116. 15[20:55] * Damnfool ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
  117. 15[20:55] * +Lemon_Cookie ([email protected]) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Damnfool)))
  118. 15[20:55] * Damnfool is now known as Lemon_Cookie
  119. [20:55] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "My point remains. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate all seaponies, but what has happened has happened."
  120. 12[20:56] <~Damhoof> "Come closer Chrome." The ocean blue mare stares at Chrome_Veneer. Fully confident of her rather exposed and heated watery surroundings. "I`ll wisper you a secret."
  121. 08[20:57] * +Chrome_Veneer looked over to Blueberry, as though he needed some sort of permission to be shared a secret by the blue mare. He found himself start to get warm as he drew closer to her, and Blueberry since he was heading in the same direction, keeping his gase averted from the two mares though.
  122. 15[20:58] * Damhoof sets mode: +v Lemon_Cookie
  123. [20:58] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "What's tha' matter Chrome?"
  124. 08[21:00] * +Blueberry_Muffin chuckles "Afraid of us?"
  125. 12[21:01] <~Damhoof> Chrome_Veneer finds the purple eyes beconing him closer. "Lend me your ear."
  126. 08[21:02] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, "Just trying to er... eh. Respect what little privacy i can offer." He announced, sliding a bit closer, his ear twitching a bit becoming tense.
  127. 12[21:02] <~Damhoof> "Closer." She becons Chrome_Veneer with an alluring gaze.
  128. 08[21:03] * +Blueberry_Muffin blushes a bit at the seablue mare
  129. 08[21:03] * +Chrome_Veneer gave her an odd look. Was this really something Blueberry couldn't be allowed to hear to such an extent. He looked over to Blueberry, almost worried, but not sure what of. Still, he obediently moved closer though still avoiding gazing directly at the two of them beyond small glances.
  130. 12[21:04] <~Damhoof> Mayhem finds that the food served is quite extensive. Warmed bread, a strange form of cheese. Roasted bug carapace and a small basket of spice finds its way to the minotaur, Honeycomb and Flour.
  131. 08[21:07] * +Mayhem takes in the meal and snugs herself some cheese and bread.
  132. 08[21:07] * +Lemon_Cookie stocks-up on sleep points.
  133. 08[21:07] * +Lemon_Cookie He may or may not be snuggling Sample.
  134. 12[21:07] <~Damhoof> The mare pushes her wet muzzle next to his ear and whisper intimately. "Blessed by water." Her whisper rebounds in his head like echos of the past enthrallment. Sending him memories of a beach, a strange white and gleaming beach in the nightsky, and a mare pressed against the strange serpentine scaley body of a half seapony. Shareing a memory with him as their bodies briefly touch. Then a sharp and cold breeze into his ear takes him by surprise and the mare giggles and then looks to Blueberry_Muffin. "Works everytime. Anyhow I`ll leave you two alone."
  135. 08[21:08] * +Blueberry_Muffin looks a bit confused "What works every time?"
  136. 12[21:11] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb splits bread and cheese with the zebra colt even as he insists on eating the strange insect carapace. With the logic of "That is so gross. It must be good!"
  137. 08[21:11] * +Blueberry_Muffin decides that she has head enough water. She gets out and shakes her mane.
  138. 12[21:12] <~Damhoof> The seablue mare gets out of the hot water bath and grips her cloak with the vials clinging inside before heading towards the wardrobe.
  139. 08[21:13] * +Blueberry_Muffin takes the rag and starts to dry her mane and coat. Not long and the rag is wet. She then braids her mane again. and heads for the main building
  140. 08[21:14] * +Chrome_Veneer twitched for a moment, and found himself frozen in the water as the other mares got out. Not averting his gaze, but rather looking in to nothingness as he considered what he'd just seen. He began to blush at the thought, the picture of the sea pony and normal pony mare pressed together...
  141. 12[21:15] <~Damhoof> The seablue mare sits in the wardrobe area with a towel. Slowly rubbing herself down, but waveing Blueberry_Muffin goodbye.
  142. 08[21:19] * +Blueberry_Muffin turns around to check on Chrome_Veneer and sees him blushing "Have ya' been looking?"
  143. 08[21:20] * +Chrome_Veneer was still in a trance-like state, not the one that the seablue mare instilled in him as she'd broken him out of that. It was something instilled by his own fantasies, hearing Blueberry he came back to reality blushing as he looked over to Blueberry. "Looking?"
  144. 12[21:22] <~Damhoof> The seablue mare now dry turns to face the two of them. "I`ll see you guys at breakfast." She gingerly states before heading out.
  145. [21:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Ugh, never mind. C'mon, we gotta get some breakfast."
  146. 08[21:25] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, and pulled himself out of the water and on too all four hooves, not even bothering shaking off but simply letting himself drip as he picked up his saddlebags and put them. "R..right." He walked after her.
  147. 08[21:26] * +Blueberry_Muffin heads out of the outhouse and back into the main building, directly steering towards the dinning room for breakfast.
  148. 12[21:27] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb looks to Mayhem for advice on the insectoid food while a still hungry Flour is poking it with a fork.
  149. [21:29] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Hello everypony, good morning Mayhem, good morniing miss Honeycomb."
  150. 08[21:29] * +Mayhem realizes that Honeycomb looks at her. "Don't ask me about those her bugs. Me have no idea. Mornin' Blueberry."
  151. 08[21:30] * +Chrome_Veneer makes his way after, making sure he walked in the sun to help dry off if only a bit. It at least stopped his dripping. Entering not quite as announcingly as Blueberry, he finds his own place to be in the dining room.
  152. 08[21:31] * +Lemon_Cookie seems to be absent from the dining table.
  153. 12[21:32] <~Damhoof> "Oh Blueberry. Is this safe for Flour to eat?" Honeycomb puts her hoof at a strange bread shaped insect carapace almost like a radroach.
  154. 12[21:32] <~Damhoof> Flour pouts and looks to Blueberry_Muffin with his large red eyes. "Please! Let me eat it."
  155. 08[21:33] * +Blueberry_Muffin inspects the insect on the plate. "I don't know what it is, so I'd rather he wouldn't eat it, ya' hear me Flour?"
  156. 12[21:35] <~Damhoof> "Why would they serve food that was bad? Look at it closer." The colt scrunches his face at Blueberry_Muffin. "its probably super tastey."
  157. 08[21:35] * +Lemon_Cookie might know.
  158. 12[21:36] <~Damhoof> "Be a good colt and eat your cheese, and maybe I`ll let you try a small piece.." Honeycomb gives Flour a disguised grimace in the form of a large smile.
  159. 08[21:36] * +Chrome_Veneer finds his own seat and glances around at the ponies that were and weren't here, and then focused on the insect-creature. He wasn't fond of eating anything that had once been moving around on its own. The bread and cheese was enough for him.
  160. 08[21:39] * +Blueberry_Muffin takes a look to identify the thing on the plate
  161. [21:41] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "nah, I got nothin'. I'm gonna go an' ask in tha' kitchen."
  162. 12[21:41] <~Damhoof> Blueberry_Muffin finds that the part she was looking at is seemingly one whole bit of carapace with two rows of legs on each side.
  163. 12[21:45] <~Damhoof> Blueberry`s venture into the kitchens has her finding a bunch of plates with the same roasted insect. The parts appear the same, but as she thinks a zebra chef with a chefs hat, rastaed mane and several scars looks back at her. His brown and gentle eyes however seem to lighten the overall savage apperance. "What can I do for you?"
  164. [21:46] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Hi, I wanna know what that is." She points at one of the plates.
  165. 12[21:48] <~Damhoof> "Centipede in oil and sweet herbs." The zebra draws a smile. "They infest the olive fields so we`re making do with what we`ve got."
  166. [21:49] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We got a foal and I wanted ta' know if he can eat it without us havin' to worry about it."
  167. 12[21:51] <~Damhoof> "Oh yes, he could eat it alright." The zebra nods to Blueberry_Muffin`s request. "made mercs and already adopted a foal? Cute."
  168. 08[21:52] * +Blueberry_Muffin chuckles "Not really. We found him alone on a shipwreck. I couldn't just leave him there. Anyway, thanks for the info."
  169. 08[21:53] * +Blueberry_Muffin heads back to the others "The cook says it's edible."
  170. 08[21:55] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, as though a cook would say his own food were inedible."
  171. 12[21:56] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb purses her lips and cuts off a piece for Flour to eat. "Its so greasy and gross though." Flour squeals and takes a trying bite before chowing down. "Its awesome. You should try it." Honeycomb looks as if she`s seen a ghost or something really ugly. "Its too ugly to be good for your body Flour"
  172. 12[21:58] <~Damhoof> Most of the mercs around them seem preoccupied with each others. The seablue mare took just a short moment to wave at Chrome_veneer before returning to gossip with other equines from wolf company.
  173. 08[21:59] * +Blueberry_Muffin sits down next to Mayhem "You slept well?"
  174. 08[22:00] * +Chrome_Veneer gives a stupid grin and waves back to the mare. Not in an embarassed way, but as they had something in common he felt that connection.
  175. 08[22:00] * +Mayhem gets herself a piece of the insect and tries it. "Ye know, this is acutally not half bad." Then turns to Blueberry. "You bet ye."
  176. 08[22:02] * +Blueberry_Muffin blushes a bit while she munches on the insect "I heard ya', ya' know? Ya' should either get a different room or tone down the volume a bit please."
  177. 08[22:03] * +Mayhem looks back to her and sees th blush. She then gets a huge grin. "Ye don't really look as if it would bother you, though."
  178. [22:03] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uhm.... I'm thinking more about Flour."
  179. [22:05] <+Mayhem> "Oh..uhm...aye, me might use a pillow next time..."
  180. 08[22:05] * +Lemon_Cookie appears at the same door Blueberry and Chrome entered through, looking freshly bathed and dried off.
  181. 12[22:05] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb hides her frown at the insect eating, and sticks to munching on her delicious cheese. "Oh I`m sure he has heard worse on board of his pirate ship."
  182. [22:05] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Mornin'."
  183. [22:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "It's still somethin' ya' should keep in mind. He's still a foal. Hi Lemon!"
  184. 08[22:07] * +Lemon_Cookie walks over to the breakfast table and gives the food a look.
  185. 12[22:07] <~Damhoof> "Hi flightmaster Lemon_Cookie." Flour smiles gingerly at the unicorn. muzzle still coated slightly in the brownish oils of the insect he feasted on.
  186. 08[22:08] * +Lemon_Cookie snickers.
  187. [22:08] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' should be more careful when ya' eat, Flour."
  188. [22:09] <+Mayhem> "Mornin' Lemon."
  189. 08[22:09] * +Lemon_Cookie levitates himself a plate and begins piling food on it. No item is too esoteric for the hungry colt, so his plate quickly becomes a menagerie of food.
  190. [22:09] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Mornin'."
  191. 12[22:09] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb nods to Lemon_Cookie and wipes the colts muzzle down. "The flightmaster is correct."
  192. [22:10] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "It doesn't taste that bad actually. You should at least try it miss Honeycomb."
  193. 08[22:12] * +Chrome_Veneer still resorts to only bread and cheese.
  194. 12[22:12] <~Damhoof> "But its so. Goey, and dirty." The golden mare glances down at the hankerchief used to wipe Flour. "Just look at this."
  195. 08[22:12] * +Blueberry_Muffin snickers "Jus' try it."
  196. 08[22:13] * +Lemon_Cookie finds a seat near his sister and plops down, beginning to munch on his plate of tasty foodstuffs, starting with whatever's least likely to leak.
  197. [22:13] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Anyway. I'm done with breakfast and I'll go and ready my stuff fo our mission, okay?"
  198. 08[22:13] * +Chrome_Veneer "Huh?" He spoke up, "Mission?"
  199. [22:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yeah," Lemon says between bites. "I was just about ta' ask about that."
  200. 12[22:14] <~Damhoof> "About?" Honeycomb shrugs and eyes the spare insect bits left with suspicion.
  201. 08[22:16] * +Chrome_Veneer "You guys decided upon a mission? What kind of thing?"
  202. [22:16] <+Lemon_Cookie> "A killin' raiders sort a' thing."
  203. 08[22:18] * +Chrome_Veneer "hah..." he wasn't worried that much about killing raiders, although he wondered how much raiders differed from back in wastes.
  204. 12[22:18] <~Damhoof> "Oh. Yes. Those raiders." Honeycomb nods to Lemon_Cookie. "The ones around Dust Devil pass."
  205. [22:18] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Should be easy. Get in, kill raiders, get out. Easy as pie"
  206. [22:19] <+Lemon_Cookie> "'Cept these gals might be well equipped."
  207. [22:19] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We'll never find out if we don't try."
  208. [22:20] <+Mayhem> "Well, let's get on it, lads. Although I would like ta have a quick look by these here eapon dealers, bfore we go."
  209. [22:20] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... aren't tha' mines kinda' far away?"
  210. 12[22:22] <~Damhoof> "Although that is just 500 caps." Honeycomb muses at Lemon_Cookie. "Three or four days travel to the mining operation sure, but wouldn`t it be worth the investement?"
  211. [22:23] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I mean tha' place where they sell tha' weapons. /Those/ mines."
  212. [22:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I'd like ta' visit them too, but wouldn't tha' be one helluva detour?"
  213. [22:23] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Tha' ones we could see from tha' beach."
  214. 12[22:24] <~Damhoof> "Oh. The arsenal? Its within the city naturally." Honeycomb smiles. "Shoudln`t be more than an hour of travel from the noble districts."
  215. [22:26] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Really? Then I'd say we make a little shoppin' trip before we go huntin'."
  216. [22:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "So. Who's payin'?"
  217. [22:28] <+Mayhem> "Me got some stuff ta sell. Me just want some better guns fer the demands of the mission."
  218. 08[22:28] * +Chrome_Veneer wasn't eager to visit any sort of shop without money, "If you guys are going to buy something before we go, i'm going to do something else, want to ask when i could get a meeting with the shaman."
  219. 12[22:28] <~Damhoof> "Oh yes. If you followed the Hagia Sophia around the entrance there would be stairs taking you down to the market and you should see the arsenal from there."
  220. [22:29] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "The shaman? Ok, but we meet up at the Arsenal, ok?"
  221. 08[22:31] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, "I don't have money to buy anything anyway."
  222. [22:31] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We could combine our funds. We're posin' as a merc group, so we might as well act like one too."
  223. 08[22:32] * +Lemon_Cookie motions to Blueberry as if to indicate assent to her idea. His face is mostly buried in the rapidly decreasing pile of food.
  224. 08[22:33] * +Chrome_Veneer shook his head, "I'll help in purchasing goods for others but... I'll be sure to buy my own stuff."
  225. 12[22:34] <~Damhoof> Honeycomb shrugs. "We have a few days to explore the city on without having to sign on with the Instruments or offer the contract much care. Take your time."
  226. [22:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I guess it'sbetter if we get this over with quickly."
  227. [22:36] <+Lemon_Cookie> "S'a fairly non-objectionable bounty," Lemon says, shrugging. His plate's nearly empty.
  228. [22:36] <+Mayhem> "Aye, I would just like ta trade in the grenades fer some better guns and then we can be on our way."
  229. [22:39] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Yeah. Then let's get goig, I'd say. Meetup is here in an hour."
  230. 08[22:39] * +Blueberry_Muffin With that Blueberry trots out and heads for her room.
  231. 08[22:39] * +Lemon_Cookie drops his plate off, washes his face a little, then heads off to his room to get his saddlebags.
  232. 12[22:40] <~Damhoof> "She`s awfully determined." Honeycomb smirks and looks to Mayhem. "I`ll stay here then, and maybe get some information directly from this wolf company."
  233. 08[22:42] * +Mayhem smiles at her and gives her a nuzzle across the table. "Aye. I will be going. Take care of yourself." stands up and heads for her room to get her gear.
  234. 08[22:43] * +Lemon_Cookie eventually returns to the dining room wearing only his saddlebags..
  235. 08[22:43] * +Chrome_Veneer stood up quietly, and took a roundabout way out. Specifically, passing beside the seablue mare from earlier, poking her and pointing with his head a bit, tryign to imply he wanted to speak to her privately.
  236. 08[22:44] * +Blueberry_Muffin puts on her barding and mesh cloak, then the holster, she doublechecks her pistol and ammo count. She then puts on her saddlebags and goes back to the dinningroom after some time
  237. [22:44] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Lemon, why are ya' not waerin' your armou?"
  238. 12[22:44] <~Damhoof> The seablue mare gets up from her chair and follows with Chrome_Veneer.
  239. 08[22:45] * +Mayhem returns with he barding on and the belt with the grenades over her chest.
  240. 08[22:46] * +Chrome_Veneer leads out of the dining room, a little ways away down the hall but not so much that it would inconvenience her. "First, i have a quick question, about... your friend." He wasn't sure if he was in the right to ask but, he just wanted to know. "Is... what happened to him?"
  241. 08[22:47] * +Lemon_Cookie scratches his chin with a hoof for a second, then sighs.
  242. 12[22:47] <~Damhoof> "I brought him." The seablue mare smiles to Chrome_Veneer and sighes. "Then we made love and he is until this day free."
  243. [22:47] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' right. Probably smarter ta' keep my armor on all tha' time an' just stay properly hydrated."
  244. 12[22:48] <~Damhoof> (bought)
  245. 08[22:48] * +Lemon_Cookie drops his saddlebags then pulls his armor out from the left one, slipping into it quite quickly.
  246. 08[22:50] * +Chrome_Veneer bit his lip, impatiently tapping his hoof on the hard floor as though not sure if he should reveal his own situation. It was clear though, surely to her, that he was given a pearl as well. "My own... Sea Pony friend and her sister were captured on the way over here. What do they do with Sea Ponies when it's discovered they no longer have their pearl?"
  247. 08[22:50] * +Lemon_Cookie He buckles himself into the armor, then dons his saddlebags again.
  248. 08[22:51] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Good. I don't want ta' loose ya'."
  249. [22:52] <+Lemon_Cookie> "It's not like tha' city's dangerous, sis. Least not on tha' main throughfares, I'm guessin'."
  250. [22:52] <+Lemon_Cookie> "What I /don't/ want ta' be is fried like a pony meat pie before we even get out a' tha' city proper."
  251. 12[22:52] <~Damhoof> "They lower the price and sell them on to those willing to buy and try to recouperate their costs. I hear Seapony meat is delicious." The seablue mare shrugs and puts a hoof at Chrome_Veneers shoulder. "Most likely she will be put up for the arena once they are done with her. Takes at least a few weeks before that time. You have plenty, and there are those that would help you in your quest."
  252. 08[22:55] * +Chrome_Veneer was thankful that another pony seemed to understand, but the other thing worried him. "At a lower price i should be able to purchase her and set her free as you had with another but..." It was more complicated now. "Her sister... she's a Sea Witch, how am i supposed to help her sister as well? Surely she'll be too expensive for just anypony to buy!" He himself raising his voice a bit before catching himself and quickly calming hi
  253. [22:55] <+Chrome_Veneer> calming himself down. ]
  254. [22:56] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Chrome! c'mon and get ya' stuff."
  255. 12[22:57] <~Damhoof> "The important thing is to keep her pearl safe. Even if she dies, the sea will still be with you and others might not share that same fate, as for her sister. You would have to ask the crone if she is willing to trade, and what she is willing to trade for." The mare nods towards Blueberry_Muffin. "Even seawitch opals have their value, and in this city especially. Everything has a price."
  256. 08[22:59] * +Chrome_Veneer sighed, but was comforted from this. "Sorry for bugging you." He said with a smile, quickly trotting away to where Blueberry's voice had come from. "I'm already good to go."
  257. [22:59] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Good, good."
  258. 08[23:00] * +Lemon_Cookie has only his pop's silenced twenty-two. The real weapon juts from his forehead.
  259. 12[23:01] <~Damhoof> The seablue mare goes off to do her own thing as Chrome_Veneer heads out.
  260. [23:02] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Good. Where's Sample?"
  261. 08[23:02] * +Blueberry_Muffin looks aroundto look for the filly
  262. [23:06] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Last I saw, she was sleepin'."
  263. [23:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Oh, ok. Tell ya' what. We're gonna do our shoppin' and then come back for her before we finally head out."
  264. [23:07] <+Lemon_Cookie> "S'what I was thinkin'."
  265. [23:08] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Is everypo- everybody alright whit that?"
  266. [23:09] <+Mayhem> "Aye"
  267. 08[23:09] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, "Well i wasn't planning on buying anything anyway. I'll just head back here when i'm done at Hagia Sophia which shouldn't take long.
  268. [23:10] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sounds like a plan. Let'S move out then!"
  269. 08[23:10] * +Lemon_Cookie starts walking.
  270. 12[23:14] <~Damhoof> The group ventures fourth from the comfort of their wolf manor and soon find themselves within a very neat and tidy noble district. Instead of houses you have the large walls and gates of several mansions, and with the Hagia sophia looming over them it is quite easy to navigate through these quaters. Only one place stands out, a ruined gate barely holding, yet with a fresh lock.
  271. 08[23:16] * +Blueberry_Muffin pays no attention to the lock
  272. 08[23:16] * +Lemon_Cookie may or may not be withering in the heat, depending on the position of the sun.
  273. 08[23:17] * +Chrome_Veneer now wearing his white cloak looks up to the Hagia Sophia in awe, so much larger close up.
  274. 12[23:18] <~Damhoof> As the party continues on they see the entrance to the castle itself, a large gate and quite the busy insides, yet it is not their destination yet. For in the utmost right corner they can spot the stairs leading down. Very far down, and they catch the full view of the market itself. With all its splendor. Slave trade on one end seems to have chilled with the advent of the more powerful sunlight, and rows of roofed carts with merchants peddling wares to everypony and everyzebra shout over their competitors just for the sake of a few additional caps per day. Foals seem to wander rampantly around these places.
  275. 12[23:21] <~Damhoof> As Blueberry and the other hurry on along rows of fishmerchants and other foodstuffs One of four rather youthful zebra colts crash into Blueberry Muffin.
  276. 08[23:21] * +Lemon_Cookie nabs him in his telekinesis.
  277. [23:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Watch where ya' goin', youngster."
  278. 12[23:22] <~Damhoof> The zebra squeals on his language and claps his hooves together in a begging fashion.
  279. [23:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Let him go Lemon, but check yer things. He might be a pickpocket."
  280. [23:23] <+Lemon_Cookie> "He bumped inta' ya', sis, in case ya' hadn't noticed."
  281. 08[23:24] * +Mayhem looks closer "Isn't there something blinking in his mane?"
  282. [23:24] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Tha's why I wanted ta' check if i still have all my stuff."
  283. 12[23:24] <~Damhoof> Mayhem can see that the kid is obviously malnourished and quite frail for a supposed pickpocket. Infact he seems to have a few not fully healed cuts on his hindleg.
  284. [23:26] <+Mayhem> "Mmh, nah must be the sun playin' tricks on me. Let him down Lemon, he didn't do a thing."
  285. 12[23:26] <~Damhoof> The zebra colt is reduced to tears while floating in Lemon Cookies field and breaks down into a quiet sobbing.
  286. [23:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Looks like a guild rat."
  287. [23:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Should we chuck him a few caps?"
  288. [23:27] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Probably, yeah."
  289. 08[23:28] * +Lemon_Cookie pulls five caps from a front pouch.
  290. 08[23:29] * +Blueberry_Muffin nabs 5 caps too.
  291. 08[23:29] * +Blueberry_Muffin nabs them from her barding
  292. 12[23:29] <~Damhoof> The zebra youth is still cowering within Lemon`s forcefield and hiding his tears behind his hooves.
  293. 08[23:29] * +Chrome_Veneer has only 3 caps to his name. Offers those 3 since everypony else is.
  294. [23:29] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Here," Lemon says, floating the caps to the colt. "Go get a bagel a' somethin'."
  295. [23:30] <+Chrome_Veneer> else's
  296. 08[23:30] * +Mayhem pulls a Wild Punga Fruit out of her bags and gives it to the cold.
  297. 08[23:30] * +Blueberry_Muffin lies the caps on the group in front of Lemon "Shh,shh."
  298. [23:30] <+Lemon_Cookie> "C'mon. We should get goin'."
  299. [23:30] <+Mayhem> *colt
  300. 08[23:30] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Yeah."
  301. 08[23:30] * +Lemon_Cookie floats the colt to the ground, then turns and starts walking again.
  302. 12[23:32] <~Damhoof> The zebra blinks at this strange set of gifts and looks on as the party moves away and towards the Arsenal. The big, black, and smokeing mountain fortress looms overhead and a guard in ominous, blackend armour and purple and golden plumes in his headress stands outside. Sweating and sweltering in this griefing sun. However he looks onto the approaching party with great stoicism and pursed lips.
  303. 12[23:34] <~Damhoof> The black gate of the armory greets them alongside the smell of forged steel, clanging hammers and burning coals. Its like a dragon has taken to roost within this forsaken place.
  304. 12[23:34] <~Damhoof> Chrome_Veneer can feel his mouth dry and reserves draining already. Woe is to the seapony.
  305. [23:35] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... fuckin' /shit/. Has nopony out here heard a' /air conditionin'/!"
  306. [23:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Agreed. It's hot like tartarus."
  307. 08[23:36] * +Chrome_Veneer has a water bottle for just such an occasion. Needs to depart from the party anyway, looking for somepony that might tell him where he can go to ask about getting a chance to speak to the shaman.
  308. 08[23:36] * +Chrome_Veneer drinks one of his water bottles, if not implied.
  309. 12[23:39] <~Damhoof> As they continue further inside these blackened hallways they are greeted by a series of dolls wearing different kinds of blackened armour and a zebra looks at them from behind his counter. Wearing some kind of green tophat over his strutting mane and a set of glasses. As they come closer they realise he also has a beard which draws him firmly into the elderly departement from what they`ve seen of zebrakind so far. He looks onto them with inspecting eyes. "helloo." His frail voice pierce through the clangs of metal like a refreshing breeze. "What do you seek within the Arsenal?"
  310. [23:40] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Arms an' ammunition."
  311. 12[23:41] <~Damhoof> "Indeed." The stallion smacks his lips and nods. "What kind of arms and ammunition do you hope to aquire here?"
  312. 08[23:41] * +Chrome_Veneer looked around, "I would actually like to meet the crone, or set up a time where i could speak to the shaman~ where would i go for that?"
  313. 08[23:41] * +Lemon_Cookie looks back to his companions.
  314. [23:41] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Various kinds. Explosives, conventional and maybe some magic weapons."
  315. 08[23:44] * +Mayhem decides to let the ponies more proficient on trading do the talking and shugs down a Nuka Cola Cherry.
  316. [23:44] <+Mayhem> *Sparkle Cola Cherry
  317. 12[23:44] <~Damhoof> "I see. You are ofcourse free to browse some of our displayed wares." The elderly stallion points to a few rows of glass cabinets. "As for ammunition. That is for the workshop. Further inside, and the basement. Which is also further inside." He coughs and smiles. "I am just the most obvious clerk. My mind is frail and fialing. My son is in the next room. He is more able minded to find your needs."
  318. 12[23:46] <~Damhoof> The old man points to a wide door near his desk and thugs a bell. "Equestrians!" He shouts in his course and dry voice.
  319. 08[23:47] * +Lemon_Cookie raises a bit of a skeptical eyebrow at that.
  320. 12[23:47] <~Damhoof> Blueberry can see as she gets closer that the display cases only hold the most basic of melee weapons. Swords, axes, hammers and whips.
  321. [23:49] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "So we'll have to talk to your son about tha' firearms?"
  322. 12[23:50] <~Damhoof> The doors are flung open and a healthy yet rather large zebra wearing a dark leather uniform enters, he takes a moment to look at his grandfather before musing over the party. "A minotaur. Yes. We could fit you a nice powerglove, but you might want to get some armour before. Defence before offence? A unicorn? Yes. I see."
  323. [23:50] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Do ya have battlesaddles?"
  324. 08[23:51] * +Lemon_Cookie gives the new zebra a look, eyebrow still raised.
  325. 08[23:51] * +Blueberry_Muffin takes note of the zebra stallion. He was quite handsome.
  326. 08[23:52] * +Blueberry_Muffin keeps her "trading face" to appear as professional as possible.
  327. 12[23:52] <~Damhoof> He muses and looks from member to member. "Conventional firearms are just inside. We segmented these things for a reason." He smiles at Blueberry_Muffins request. "I can fit you one out of various leather straps, and different metal. We have several Arsenal blueprints."
  328. [23:52] <+Lemon_Cookie> "An' how 'bout helmets?"
  329. [23:53] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Good good. Can you show us some exaples of your wares. please?"
  330. 08[23:53] * +Chrome_Veneer "Do you know where i could go to meet with the Crone, or someone who can set me up to?"
  331. 12[23:54] <~Damhoof> The elderly zebra nods. "The chrone talks to us all at times. You just knock on her door and she will find time for you."
  332. 08[23:56] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, as long as he wouldn't be bugging anypony. "I'll head back to the mansion later." He announced, before dodging away from the group and toward the Hagia Sophia (i assume to be where she resides)
  333. 12[23:59] <~Damhoof> "Looking to protect your horn?" The zebra stallion nods. "We can fashion you a lightweight riot helmet to go with the armour. That would not hinder your telekinesis or your aim any. There are others too. Like this one." He walks over to one of the dolls on display and picks up a facemask helmet that basically has four metal rods sticking out of a hole in the forehead. "Comes in iron, steel or more modern alloy."
  334. 12[23:59] <~Damhoof> "Looking to protect your horn?" The zebra stallion nods. "We can fashion you a lightweight riot helmet to go with the armour. That would not hinder your telekinesis or your aim any. There are others too. Like this one." He walks over to one of the dolls on display and picks up a facemask helmet that basically has four metal rods sticking out of a hole in the forehead. "Comes in iron, steel or more modern alloy."
  335. 15[00:00] * Damnfool ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
  336. 15[00:00] * +Lemon_Cookie ([email protected]) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Damnfool)))
  337. 15[00:00] * Damnfool is now known as Lemon_Cookie
  338. 15[00:00] * Damhoof sets mode: +v Lemon_Cookie
  339. 12[00:00] <~Damhoof> "Looking to protect your horn?" The zebra stallion nods. "We can fashion you a lightweight riot helmet to go with the armour. That would not hinder your telekinesis or your aim any. There are others too. Like this one." He walks over to one of the dolls on display and picks up a facemask helmet that basically has four metal rods sticking out of a hole in the forehead. "Comes in iron, steel or more modern alloy." (repost)
  340. [00:00] <+Lemon_Cookie> "How much fa' steel?"
  341. 12[00:02] <~Damhoof> "Anything from 150 to 250 depending on the quality."
  342. 12[00:03] <~Damhoof> The stallion puts the helmet back and nods to Lemon_Cookie. "its a wise choice to protect your head. I can give you a good iron helmet for 70 bucks."
  343. [00:04] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Seventy..."
  344. 08[00:04] * +Lemon_Cookie considers that.
  345. [00:04] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sis?"
  346. 08[00:06] * +Lemon_Cookie looks Blueberry's way.
  347. [00:07] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "An iron helmet isn't really that much for 70 caps." (Barter)
  348. 08[00:08] * +Lemon_Cookie feels the overwhelming urge to facehoof.
  349. [00:09] <+Lemon_Cookie> "'Sides. I was askin' about a steel helmet, anyway."
  350. 12[00:09] <~Damhoof> "They buy a lot of this stuff for the arena. Weights you down for a bit, and with that outfit it might have you might get some strange looks at times." The stallion smiles to Blueberry_Tarts. "A craftsman never sells his work short, but I tell you what. You can have an iron helmet for Arena price. 50 caps."
  351. [00:11] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "50 caps is good."
  352. [00:11] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Mind if I see it?"
  353. 12[00:14] <~Damhoof> "Ofcourse." The stallion heads into the room he had come from, a veritable armory of conventional firearms stacked onto racks and worked on by apprentices with a few workbenches on the other end. As he leads them further into the bowels of the armory they reach a row of bardings and suits from which he plucks an iron helmet and hands it to Lemon_Cookie. "Not as good as steel, but just as functional. There are various muzzleguards. Even for those that want to purely rely on telekinesis."
  354. 08[00:18] * +Chrome_Veneer makes his way through as far as possible without having to pass any strictly guarded areas, in to the Hagia Sophia and asking directions as he does, to where he would have to go to greet the Crone.
  355. 08[00:18] * +Mayhem moves over to Blueberry_Muffin, gives her the incediary grenades and whispers: "See what you can get fer these."
  356. 08[00:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "I got ya'."
  357. 12[00:19] <~Damhoof> The helmet itself is quite seemingly a mesh between newschool bicicle helmet design and mideaval terror, with a second layer on the nose departement, and a small horn guard of iron rods sticking out of the helmet, along with rather slit faced eyesockets that would make it harder to see.
  358. [00:21] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Do ya' got something on the line of security stuff or police gear?"
  359. 12[00:23] <~Damhoof> "Thats a fair bit more expensive." The zebra stallion nods to Blueberry_Muffin. "Because of the lacking spare parts, but we do have some equestrian moddled security gear. Yes."
  360. [00:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "can I please take a look?"
  361. 08[00:25] * +Lemon_Cookie stands there, looking on as his sister handles it.
  362. 12[00:27] <~Damhoof> The stallion opens a rather large closet and presents a series of well maintained riot and equestrian army gear. "We have lighter armour too, but that is done on the second floor. Cooler air there."
  363. 12[00:28] <~Damhoof> ------------------------------------------------------------Session5end.--------------------------------------------
