[19:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM> *****G-Platypus: The City of Broad Withers - Session 34*****
[19:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM> Matchmaker
[19:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM> A pony who arranges relationships and marriages between others, either informally or, in certain cultural communities, as a formal occupation.
[19:00] <Mister_Clacky|GM> A position of respect that brings joy and love to ponies.
[19:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM> Or perhaps it’s just somepony who produces something to light the fire so ponies can burn.
[19:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM> *****Session Start*****
[19:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North__Star has just walked in on Toil standing beside a liplocked Thunder_Strike and Snack_Cake. Blackberry_Jam is down below talking with Golden_Eye.
[19:03] * Blackberry_Jam gives Golden_Eye a flat look. The irony was dripping from this situation. "Just go. Don't let me slow you down."
[19:03] * North__Star brings his hoof to meet it's old friend, his forehead, and sighed before walking over to break up Snack_Cake and Thunder_Strike.
[19:06] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil pops up between North__Star  and the girls. "Hey, let them have their moment!"
[19:07] * North__Star blinks at Toil. "Ah'm gonna be blunt, we have much more important things on our hooves than swappin' spit, Toil."
[19:07] * Thunder_Strike mmphs caught of guard by the unwarranted kiss from Snacky. the Pegasus pomfs instantly and stares dumbfounded for a moment.
[19:07] * Golden_Eye looks at Blackberry_Jam for a moment then flies off, nothing said then would help and there would be chances to mend the situation later.
[19:09] * Blackberry_Jam keeps walking, then. That's the curse of the mudpony. She manages to finish her cigarette before getting to the top.
[19:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil doesn't move, her voice drops. "You can spare a kiss' worth a minutes. Let them have their time."
[19:12] * Snack_Cake is very inexperienced, and probably isn't a very good kisser. But, Toil's nudging and the situation in general made her just... act! She's not even sure why, but now that she's done it? She can't bring herself to stop.
[19:13] * Golden_Eye lands in front of the door and walks only a few feet inside.
[19:13] * North__Star lets out a gravely sigh and shakes his head. "Next subject then. Care to explain why you and Thunder dragged Snack all the way up here, when there is a perfectly good place on the ground to drink?"
[19:14] * Blackberry_Jam scampers up those steps, due to wibbly wobbly timey wimey magic.
[19:15] * Thunder_Strike relaxes when she finally grasps the situation and kisses Snack_Cake back. she's still pomfed but her eyes are closed now, inexperienced or not. she's been wanting to do this for awhile now.
[19:16] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry_Jam and Golden_Eye head up the stairwell. They can see the open door from the landing below and hear North__Star and Toil's conversation. Toil tilts her head. "Why not come up here? A little privacy is a good thing."
[19:17] * Golden_Eye has already gone through the door. (Unless North__Star is in the door.)
[19:18] * Blackberry_Jam grumbles something about 'fucking stairs' as she heads through the door. Looking at the scene unfolding before her, she begins to trot around Toil to the kissing ponies.
[19:19] * Snack_Cake isn't sure how to follow up the kiss. So she just keeps kissing. She hopes that Thunder_Strike will help her with what to do next, or maybe Toil will tell her.
[19:20] * North__Star shook his head and just moved on to the next obvious question. "What'd you give 'er?"
[19:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil takes a half step over in front of Blackberry_Jam while staying still in front of North__Star. "Maybe we came up here so you ponies would stop trying to be such prudes. Don't ruin her kiss, jeez. And just a little social lubricant."
[19:22] * Blackberry_Jam steps around Toil further. "Excuse me, but I think they've had quite enough. We wouldn't want them to get -stuck- like that."
[19:24] * North__Star huffs, "Sure. We'll just let you play matchmaker while the three of us handle getting a dozen and a half ex-slaves to safety, reuniting a family, /and/ looking for a job that won't end in us brutally murdered. Great plan."
[19:25] * Blackberry_Jam adds. "And yanking a balefire egg out of your stomach."
[19:25] <North__Star> "... That too."
[19:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil huffs. "Fine, spoilsports." She steps aside, looking back. "Way to listen to your gut, Snack_Cake! Seize enjoyment when you can!"
[19:28] * Thunder_Strike groans. then seperates from Snack_Cake. sorry snack. our friends want to be rude and it killed the mood. she says then pauses. hey.. that rhymed. she says.
[19:30] * Golden_Eye stands back, he doesn't disagree with Toil, just her method.
[19:30] * Snack_Cake doesn't want to stop... but the sounds of angry ponies are ruining the moment. She pulls back too, muttering a quiet "Sorry if that was... sudden..."
[19:31] * North__Star leans against the doorway, taking a glance out one of the windows.
[19:31] * Blackberry_Jam gives Thunder_Strike a flat look. "I'm not going to say that you two shouldn't... well... kiss each other. I'm saying that -somepony- shouldn't be giving alcohol to everypony behind our backs. If you two really love each other, you don't need alcohol to express it, no?"
[19:31] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil gives Snack_Cake a impish grin and a wink when they meet gazes.
[19:32] * Thunder_Strike hugs Snack_Cake. ''it's alright Snacky. it just surprised me.'' she says then sits down a moment trying to wrestle her wings back against her side.
[19:35] * Snack_Cake gives Blackberry_Jam a nervous look. "I never would have done it... without encouragement."
[19:36] * Blackberry_Jam gives a contemplative look back. "But now that it's in the open? I don't want you to get in the habit of drinking to open up, Snack."
[19:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil contemplates her flask... she decides to leave it where it is. She wanders a bit away from the group.
[19:42] * Thunder_Strike ''I don't either.'' she says with a sigh. ''I don't know if you kisses me, or if it was the booze did it.''
[19:42] * Blackberry_Jam points behind her at Toil. "Nnnnnnnope."
[19:43] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil holds up, she really needs to get some furniture in here... nothing to flop on...
[19:46] * Snack_Cake gives a nod, and looks to Thunder_Strike. "You've always been the nicest pony to me I know, Thunder... And... If there was anypony special to me? It would be you. That's why I... kissed you."
[19:47] * Blackberry_Jam cracks a smile. "Great. Wonderful. Now, can we confess our love for each other and walk at the same time? There's a lot that needs to be done. Sorry to be like that, but those slaves... aren't going to find homes and jobs themselves." She turns to Toil. "And you. Let's talk privately."
[19:48] * North__Star takes the hint and makes his way back downstairs.
[19:49] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Throws Blackberry_Jam a perfectly crisp, official salute. "Ja, Kommandant!"
[19:49] * Thunder_Strike smiles softly at her finally managing to fold her wings back. ''it makes me happy to know that Snack_Cake. but BJ is right. we got more important matters at hoof right now. we can resume later. k?''
[19:51] * Blackberry_Jam glowers. "Das ist genug, dralles Madchen."
[19:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil sighs. "Sie waren nicht so streng in den Turm."
[19:57] * Snack_Cake nods and starts trotting... but sticks very close to Thunder_Strike.
[19:58] * North__Star starts looking for cans and such on his way downstairs. There is a lesson in shooting things to be had.
[19:58] * Blackberry_Jam keeps glowering as she rises. "Vielleicht wurden sie eher Ihre bombe? Bring uns hier raus."
[19:59] * Golden_Eye with the others filing out, leaves the mares to their business and follows.
[19:59] * Thunder_Strike gives Snack_Cake a wing hug as they walk, then says, ''you guys coming?''
[20:01] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil sits down. "You go on ahead, I think I need to stay and get disciplined."
[20:03] * Golden_Eye flies down the stairwell to leave. Best to leave this group to their own for the moment.
[20:04] * Blackberry_Jam sits down across from her. "Think you can make it to our car?" She points to it out the window.
[20:04] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil tilts her head. "Yeah... You aren't going to yell first?"
[20:06] * Blackberry_Jam rolls her eyes a little. "No. Despite what they tell you, I don't -yell- nearly as much as they think I do. That being said, I want you to know that if I see you giving alcohol to those two ever again, I'll tear out your spine and feed it to you." She says with a smile.
[20:08] * Snack_Cake gives Blackberry_Jam and Toil a concerned look as she leaves. On the way out, she twines her tail with Thunder_Strike's, a little hesitantly.
[20:10] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil lifts the bandage off her eye and tosses it to the side. Looking back to see they are alone, she takes a smooth step forward. "Alright. No more. I've done my good deed. I know /you/ know how to relieve stress..." She bats her eyes. "...but the poor dear just let it all build up. Now she may just have found a valve."
[20:12] * Blackberry_Jam suddenly finds Toil a little less attractive. She stands up and trots to the window. "Oh, and, if you mention -that- to anypony either, I'll shove your spine somewhere even -less- pleasant."
[20:12] * Thunder_Strike is totally ok with intertwined tails. ''it's alright Snacky. she says smiling.
[20:14] * Snack_Cake gives a smile back. "I'm a little new at this... But you can help me, right?"
[20:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil gives a completely trustworty smile. "Lips sealed from here on out." Her horn lights and she teleports with Blackberry_Jam to the car just as Slash finishes some of the preliminary work. The operating theater is servicable, but the whole place still needs work.
[20:15] * Thunder_Strike gives her a quick little nuzzle and nods. of course, but I think well leave the alcohol out of it.''
[20:16] * Blackberry_Jam takes a look around, contemplating what she should use to wire Toil's mouth shut while she's out for the operation. "Afternoon, Slash. Everything looks... as good as it will get. You ever been in an operating theater before?"
[20:20] * Snack_Cake gives a nod. "Just between you and me... it tasted... pretty bad."
[20:20] <Mister_Clacky> Slash nods. "Once or twice Splotches had me in."
[20:20] * Golden_Eye flies of to go the the wall that overlooks the grave yard to do some scouting.
[20:21] * Blackberry_Jam is already sliding her saddlebags and armor off. "Great. Than I won't bother explaining it." She points to Toil. "Take a seat on the table and lie back."
[20:21] * Thunder_Strike giggles and nods. ''yeah. I don't really like it either.''
[20:22] <~Blackberry_Jam> Then*
[20:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Golden_Eye, on his low level scouting run, can see a congretation of ghouls forming mostly toward the center where a large crypt tops a hill. They meander around near and inside the ornate structure.
[20:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil climbs up on the operating table. She rolls to her back. In the good light of the operating room the gnarly, jagged scar running from just below her ribcage to just above her hipbone is plainly visible, it stands out in stark contrast to her deep red fur. She looks over to Slash. "Don't think we've met, enjoy the show. If she puts me under, don't do anything to me. Save that for when we can both enj
[20:25] <Mister_Clacky|GM> oy it." She gives a smirk as Slash quirks a brow and looks to Blackberry_Jam.
[20:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  With a quick count, Golden_Eye can see more than a dozen ghouls miling about.
[20:31] * Blackberry_Jam waves it off, and hoofs Slash a dust mask. "Here, put this on and get me a bed sheet."
[20:32] * North__Star shuffles around downstairs, waiting for Snack_Cake and Thunder_Strike to catch up.
[20:32] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash nods, coming back with a clean sheet. "Here, Doctor." He is obviously smiling behind the mask. "Want the picture stick?"
[20:33] * Blackberry_Jam begins pouring a bottle of something on to a spare rag. "Here, Toil, tell me what this smells like." She says, pressing the rag into the mare's face." She gives a long sigh. "Over here."
[20:35] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil gets a happy little look before her eyes roll back and she goes out. Slash pushes the ultrasound over.
[20:36] * Golden_Eye looks around for a good spot to snipe, he doesn't want to risk leading the ghouls back to the town. He settles on a monument a fair ways away and lands quietly on it.
[20:36] * Blackberry_Jam instructs Slash to cut a hole in the sheet and tuck Toil in tightly. She rubs some of the ultrasound gel on her stomach, over the gash, and turns the machine on. "All right, let's see what we're working with."
[20:40] * Thunder_Strike left with Snack_Cake along time ago.
[20:41] * North__Star left longer than that.
[20:43] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash does as instructed. Blackberry_Jam takes a good look. Inside her abdominal cavity is a spherical metallic mass. It would appear that the story she had for the scar, that it was from slaver doctors removing bits to make her barren, is completely false. Looking around Blackberry_Jam can see that she appears to have all her organs intact, if slightly shifted.
[20:43] * Thunder_Strike is walking with a mare that runs slower than thunder can walk so he will have to wait awhile.
[20:44] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry_Jam's keen medical eye notices something further, a small black circle, no more than an eighth of an inch, attached to the lining of her uterus.
[20:46] * Blackberry_Jam had never actually hears this story, figured it was pretty obvious why she had a scar there. "Well, that must be it. Doesn't look like it's damaged anything too badly, either. And..." She touches her hoof to Toil's neck and counts. "Something else in there too. Good thing she mentioned that." She mutters.
[20:47] * North__Star leans in the doorway, taking this moment to give his new rifle the usual check-up.
[20:48] * Snack_Cake may be a slow pony, but she enjoys taking her time with Thunder_Strike. She's just discovering wonderful feelings, after all.
[20:49] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Golden_Eye lands on a large statue a ways away. The ghouls don't seem no notice him.
[20:49] * Thunder_Strike is enjoying the company aswell, though it seems their friends don't want them too.
[20:54] * Blackberry_Jam turns to look at the ultrasound and- "You've gotta be fucking kidding."
[20:55] * Golden_Eye looks down his scope, lining up a shot and fires 2 at a ghoul.
[20:56] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash looks at the screen, that doesn't look like a bomb, the bomb did, but what's on there isn't a bomb. "What is it, Doc?"
[20:57] * Blackberry_Jam turns the monitor so he can see it a little better. "She's... pregnant. Not long, but she is. -Really- wish she'd mentioned that... But..." She looks at Toil again. "I can't really blame her for not knowing... Luckily, I don't think yanking this bomb out will interfere any..."
[21:08] <Mister_Clacky>  Golden_Eye fires off two rounds, the ghouls they strike thrashing for a few moments before burning up. A few heads turn toward him on the second shot. A few of the ghouls break off, moving forward and then looping back, herding the others toward the crypt.
[21:10] * Blackberry_Jam sighs. She's a special one, all right. "So, let's make some incisions. Brutish as is may be, we might be better off using the same entrance that the slavers used. I'll be sure to seal this up properly this time."
[21:11] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash nods as Blackberry_Jam gets to cutting.
[21:13] * Golden_Eye keeps looking through his scope as his heart sinks, these ghouls are not feral.
[21:13] * Snack_Cake walks with Thunder_Strike to wherever North__Star is waiting.
[21:14] * North__Star looks over his shoulder to see Snack_Cake and Thunder_Strike coming downstairs.
[21:16] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The ghouls are slowly making their way inside the crypt, some with purpose, others being herded like animals by the few circling the mass.
[21:22] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry_Jam, with Nurse Slash, is making good progress. It will be a while still before she can remove the bomb from Toil's abdominal cavity, but now that she's inside, she's much more confident. It's going at textbook as could be expected.
[21:24] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  North__Star, Snack_Cake, and Thunder_Strike meet up, there are all manner of potential targets around outside the walls near the apartment complex. A large, triangular, yellow sign is visible sticking our from the rubble on a post about 50 feet away.
[21:25] * Snack_Cake frowns. "What's going on...?"
[21:28] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Once mostly exposed, Slash looks over the explosive. "Looks intact. I don't see any anti-tamper devices, yeah? Probably didn't want anything that could set it off from the outside considerin' it's placement." He takes a thoroughly cleaned screwdriver and pops a panel. "Short. It's safe to remove and disarm. Just pull 'er out, roight?"
[21:28] * North__Star shoulders his new rifle, smiling at Snack_Cake. "You wanted to know how to shoot that new rilfe, right?"
[21:29] * Snack_Cake gives North__Star a confused look. "Yeah...?"
[21:29] * North__Star waves her outside, lining himself up with the large yellow sign
[21:34] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Golden_Eye can see the last few ghouls take cover, disappearing inside the crypt.
[21:34] * Snack_Cake watches, and takes out the laser rifle she'd been given.
[21:36] * Golden_Eye sits and ponders. Why would they have a job to clear them out? They're clearly not feral. Maybe the crypt itself will offer something. Seeing the last go in, he flies forward to look closer at the outside of the crypt, not expecting to find anything.
[21:37] * North__Star raises the rifle in his hooves, lining up his sight with the sign and squeezing off one shot.
[21:39] * Snack_Cake tries to emulate North__Star, but is having trouble with the whole 'holding with her hooves' part.
[21:40] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  As Golden_Eye approaches, he hears a rifle retort just before feeling a bullet tear into his chest.
[21:42] * North__Star looks over Snack_Cake's stance, thinking on how to make it so she can do such things with her... Center of gravity.
[21:42] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  A raspy voice yells from a pile of rubble just beside the back of the crypt, "Leave!" before a cloaked figure darts into  the old structure.
[21:42] * Thunder_Strike sits beside Snack_Cake watching with a smile.
[21:43] * Snack_Cake frowns and tries to sit and hold it instead. She has a little better success this way.
[21:44] * North__Star blinks. "Unorthodox, but whatever works, I guess.
[21:44] * Golden_Eye tumbles to the ground and scrambles to cover as best he can against the direction he felt the shot come from, clutching his chest. That was a damn solid hit.
[21:45] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  There is a grinding noise as the reinforced concrete doors of the crypt are laborously pushed closed.
[21:45] * Blackberry_Jam slips on some surgical gloves and reaches in to remove the Egg. Times like this makes her wish she was a unicorn.
[21:47] * Snack_Cake is still not exactly stable this way, but it's working a little better at least. She aims at the sign, trying her best to keep it steady... and... shoots!
[21:47] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash takes the egg from Blackberry_Jam in his tail, taking it over to a corner to properly disarm. One ear is swiveled back to her, in case she needs him.
[21:48] * Blackberry_Jam idly considers selling that. "All right, let's sew this mare up. That wasn't that bad, was it?" she asks the unconscious mare.
[21:51] * Golden_Eye thinks to himself, "they shoot back, fair enough." Sitting here bleeding is doing him no good, he starts moving from gravestone to gravestone to work his way out of the graveyard, keeping as quiet as he can be in the off chance that he might be lost in the mass of gravestones.
[21:52] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Snack_Cake drills the silloetted small pony chasing a ball on the sign.
[21:53] * North__Star gives Snack_Cake a proud thump on the back. "Nice shot, but you can't always be on your flanks when you shoot, you know."
[21:53] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Golden_Eye moves toward Railyard. He'll have to jump the fence somehow, but he has a fair bit of distance to work up to that. So far he hasn't been shot at anymore.
[21:54] * Blackberry_Jam stitchy stitchy stitches.
[21:55] * Snack_Cake frowns. "Well... I can't... hold it like you do."
[21:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Blackberry_Jam makes short, easy work of the stitches. It even looks better than it did.
[21:56] * Thunder_Strike we can get you a saddle like I got. she says shrugging.
[21:57] * North__Star smiles at Snacky, "You can't, yet. Practice will go a long way."
[21:57] * Blackberry_Jam goes to rinse her hooves after swabbing the stitches with some disinfectant and coiling a bandage around it.
[21:59] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Toil twitches just slightly in her drug-induced sleep. Moisture leaks from the corners of her eyes, leaving trails down her cheeks and under her ears toward the back of her head, disappearing in her mane.
[21:59] * Golden_Eye keeps moving. He attemps to put a larger stone or a monument between him and the crypt before climbing up and over, just in case the shot didn't come from the doorway before it was closed.
[22:01] * Snack_Cake gives a little nod. "I'm just not used to it."
[22:01] * Blackberry_Jam also folds the sheet and cleans all of the impliments before stashing them all away. She sits on a chair by the bed and reads while she waits for Toil to wake up.
[22:02] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  The wall around Railyard is tall, it takes some wing work to get over it. It's unpleasant with the chest wound, but he manages to get back into Railyard proper.
[22:03] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash finishes defusing the bomb. He seals it up and tucks it in his pack.
[22:04] * North__Star nods. "I know, you're not exactly used to recreational firearm use, being in a Stable and all."
[22:04] * Golden_Eye starts heading for the doctor's office. Medical aid first, answers later.
[22:05] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  It occurs to Golden_Eye that the doctor is in a trance, luckily he knows another.
[22:07] * Blackberry_Jam looks up at Slash from over the brim of "The Desiderata of Happiness". "So, tonight is good for you, then?"
[22:08] * Thunder_Strike stands up and walks over towards the town.
[22:09] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash looks over to Blackberry_Jam. "Yeah." He trots over and looks at Toil. "She going to be nursing that for a while, yeah?"
[22:10] * Blackberry_Jam nods a little, flipping the page. "She's gonna be nursing something else, too."
[22:10] * Snack_Cake nods again. "Only the security ponies are allowed to have guns... so everything I know is what I've seen out here, or what you've taught me." She stands up, putting the rifle away, and trots after Thunder_Strike.
[22:13] * North__Star slings his rifle and starts following Snack_Cake. "You've taken to your pistol, though. Might be one of those hidden talents, or some survival instincts, or something."
[22:14] * Golden_Eye looks up at the apartment building and starts heading there. She was there last having a private conversation with Toil, best place to start looking for her.
[22:14] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Thunder_Strike is the first of the returning trio to get close to Railyard. She sees Golden_Eye, and his bloodied chest. The others are close behind.
[22:16] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash considers. "She going to be up and around soon? Still a lot of work to do here, yeah? Gotta give her whatever recovery time she needs, roight? But what we lookin' at?"
[22:17] * Thunder_Strike slows to wait on Snack_Cake but also looks at Golden_Eye. '' hey North__Star. Goldey over there is wounded.
[22:17] * Snack_Cake thinks for a moment. "Well... I know a lot about Arcane Science. And they're not all that hard to figure out from what I do know..."
[22:19] * Blackberry_Jam crosses her hooves, setting the book aside. "Hmmm... I'd say she should probably stay in bed for a few more hours, then we can see if she's in any pain. If not, she should be all right to walk, and we'll see from there."
[22:19] * North__Star looks back at Golden_Eye before giving Snack_Cake a pat on the back. "Keep practicing, alright? And make sure you don't blast anything in town, else Caboose would have a fit with us." He said, turning to catch up to the batpony, "I know I would."
[22:22] * Golden_Eye still makes for the apartment building, putting pressure on his wound. "Hello, North__Star. Has Miss Jam left yet?"
[22:22] * Snack_Cake nods. "I'd never do something reckless like that..."
[22:22] * Snack_Cake gasps when she sees Golden_Eye. "Oh! Are you alright!?"
[22:23] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash nods. "Simple enough, yeah?" He starts to pull a thick, opaque curtain across the car, cutting off the kitchen/living section from the operating area. "I'll work in here if ya need me."
[22:23] * North__Star blinks at Golden_Eye before asking the obvious question. "How'd you get shot, Gold?"
[22:24] * Blackberry_Jam smiles. "Don't need to close the curtain."
[22:25] * Thunder_Strike pats Snack_Cake on the back softly. I'm sure he's fine.
[22:25] * Golden_Eye keeps walking, obviously wanting to find Blackberry_Jam. "Went to scout out the feral ghouls, took a couple feeler shots, one shot back. There's something else going on, they're not feral."
[22:27] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Slash leave the curtian half open. It's not silent work as he demos more of the kitchen.
[22:27] * North__Star scratches his chin. "Damn... Somepony in town /is/ paranoid." He points back to Railyard. "She took Toil back into town. You might catch her in our car."
[22:28] * Snack_Cake frowns. "Wait... you said... ghouls...?" She doesn't like ghouls! She's terrified of them.
[22:29] * Golden_Eye stops and turns to him. "Which car? And, who's paranoid?"
[22:30] * North__Star waves a hoof. "The kitchen car, probably can't miss it. And I have no idea, but I want to look into this myself."
[22:30] * Golden_Eye says to Snack_Cake. "Yes, somepony wants them removed from the graveyard."
[22:32] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose and his deputies are watching the North Gate. The ex-slaves generally are milling around the Sleeper still. Miss Priss nearby directing some here and there. She'd normally start taking caps, but she figures if they can clean and help, she won't worry about caps till closer to nightfall.
[22:33] * Thunder_Strike stands next to Snack_Cake. ''you ok?'' she asks then looks at North__Star, ''if they're not feral. what are we gonna do?''
[22:34] * Golden_Eye nods to North__Star. "Thank you. I'm going to ask around about it, but first I need to get this looked at." He starts walking back to the town proper. He's hobbling a bit, but isn't too slowed down by having a hole in his chest.
[22:36] * North__Star straightens the sling on his rifle. "If they aren't feral, there's somepony to talk to. Hopefully, I can get some answers."
[22:41] * Snack_Cake shakes her head at Thunder_Strike. She mutters, "I don't... like ghouls..."
[22:41] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Some of the slaves glance over, but seeing an injured pony doesn't phase them. They continue working or sitting idly.
[22:46] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Sheriff Caboose notices the group walking around. He trots over, seeing the injured Golden_Eye. "I heard a shot, that you?"
[22:46] * Thunder_Strike hugs Snack_Cake. ''well... you don't really have to go.''
[22:47] * Golden_Eye stops, still holding his wound. "Two were mine, one was a response, that's the one you likely heard. I saw the ghoul removal job on the board. Those ghouls are not feral however."
[22:49] * North__Star gives Snack_Cake a smile. "I won't cause any trouble with 'em, I'm just gonna go for a talk." He pats her side.
[22:51] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose looks you over. "We get ferals from time to time that wander out of there. Jobs been on the board for ages for someone to clear them out."
[22:52] <Golden_Eye> "Have you thought that perhaps the ferals you find have been released by the others because they've gone feral?"
[22:55] <Mister_Clacky|GM>  Caboose quirks a brow. "Not really. Listen, I can't say we get enough ghoul problems to even warrant the job. We recently had an..." He gives a short glance at Snack_Cake. "...event... so I put up a posting that wasn't faded."
[22:56] * Snack_Cake bites her lip and looks away. She can be strong... "...I still miss them."
[22:56] * Golden_Eye hmms. "Regardless, I need to see a doctor. I'll come back adn we can talk after I do."
[22:58] <Golden_Eye> And*
[22:58] * Thunder_Strike gives Snack_Cake a hug. ''at least they don't have to deal with this cruel place anymore.''
