[13:04] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 *****PnP Group 7 Session 1 Begins*****
03[13:05] * Xavi ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[13:06] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Manehattan. The most cosmopolitan collection of creaky, rundown hovels in all of the Equestrian Wasteland. Enter: Hovelhoof, one such slum, located in the midst of the city with a modest population.

[13:08] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Hovelhoof is often subject to the dangers of Manehattan ruins, but really, who isn't? The past night in particular saw the small village ravaged by a ferocious swarm of bloodwings.
03[13:10] * @uSea ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP ("Leaving")
[13:10] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 As dawn approaches, the swarm receeds, and the citizens of Hovelhoof thank the Goddesses that they have survived. Unfortunately, not everypony did. The streets are littered with a few dozen dessicated husks that used to be ponies. The 'mayor' of Hovelhoof has asked everypony to come outside to help gather and identify the dead.

06[13:13] * +Primer peers up at the sky. Her short black mane fluttering in the wind. "Well, that could have gone better." She grumbles to nopony in particulair.
06[13:13] * +Karina peeks out into the daylight and hears the mayor's call. She looks around and starts walking amongst the dead.
06[13:16] * +Karina pokes around a couple of the bodies, but doesn't find anything particularly helpful or of interest.
[13:16] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The Mayor stands atop a nearby roof, calling out over the hovel, calling out for the ponies to gather the dead in the middle of town for identification and cremation. The ponies of the hovel drearily begin moving the carcasses, the sounds of moaning and weeping can be heard from a number of them.
06[13:17] * +Primer half heartedly prods a dried up corpse laying by her khaki colored hooves, rolling it over. "Goddesses, not a pleasant way to go." She begins dragging it to the center.
06[13:19] * +Karina looks up at the mayor then down at the dead unicorn at her hooves. She may not have known any of them, but she did live here. It was the least she could do... She bends down and starts dragging the corpse towards the cremeation pile.
06[13:20] * +Keen_Shine only steps outside his door and watches as the reclaiming of these bodies happen with a disgusted look on his face. "Back in my day, these things never existed. No pony died like this. Not a damn soul." He grumbled, looking down with a sympathetic look on one of the bodies before dragging another out. "Sorry. I guess I shouldn't be complaining. Not now." He mumbles through grit teeth to the...
06[13:20] * +SmartCookie trots about the husks. Poor bastards all of them. He then aswell starts to move one of the carcasses towards the towns center.
06[13:20] * +Keen_Shine ...Earth Pony, dropping him.
06[13:21] * +Primer sighs in relief inwardly, so far she hadn't seen anypony she knew amont the dead, a good sign.
04[13:22] * +SmartCookie spots Karina while heading to the cremation pile, her dragging a carcase aswell. Maybe he could trot over and say hello after the ... 'work' was done.
06[13:25] * +Keen_Shine takes a step back after a while to admire this morbid work. All the town's citizens claiming and soaking the pyre of the day in whatever flammable liquids they could find. "Need more beer."
06[13:26] * +Karina drops the pony she was carrying close to the center of the pile, then sits and looks around at all the other bodies being dragged in.
06[13:26] * +Primer finishes the last strech of the task and leaves the corpse among others. She felt uncomfortable outside during the day, maybe she should try and do the seashells game in an alley somewhere for a little alcohol money.
[13:27] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 After about an hour and a half of work, everypony is gathered in the middle of town around a makeshift pyre. The mayor announces the names of the deceased in no particular order, the sound of grieveing friends and family a counterpoint. The pyre is lit, and the town watches in reverence.
04[13:28] * +SmartCookie trots over to Karina and stands next to her, giving a quite nicker for a 'Hello'.
06[13:31] * +Karina looks away from the pyre and gives Cookie a sad look. "This isn't right at all. These ponies are all so mauled..."
06[13:32] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "I'm kinda getting tired of this aswell..." He digs the ground a little with his hoove and then continues: "I'm thinking about leaving this... hovel, to be frank..."
06[13:34] * +Primer 's ragged ear twitches in the direction of a conversation and she takes a quick peek. A zebra and another earth pony, having a quiet talk. She looks like she could be a mark but the buck looks like he was way too clever. Drat, looks like there was going to be no food today either.
06[13:34] * +Karina cocks her head. "Why would you leave? What would you hope to achieve?"
06[13:36] * +SmartCookie huffs and then says: "I don't really like it here. We're near Manehattan, which is probably the bloodwings nest, that just attacked, i'm getting fed up with the constant nagging for not doing my job propperly... you know things like that..."
06[13:38] * +Primer stops to think while overhearing the conversation between the two. Leaving? Hadn't thought much about that, maybe listening in a little more could be fruitful.
06[13:38] * +Karina shifts her weight uncomfortably. The thought of her only... acquaintance leaving right after the place is attacked by bloodwings... didn't sit well.
06[13:39] * +Primer discreetly scoots closer to get a better earfull.
04[13:40] * +SmartCookie looks up to Karina. "You know I'd like to round up some ponies to do that together... don't think the Wastes are to forgiving to a lone dweller... Was actually hoping that you'd join in at some point, you know?"
06[13:40] * +Keen_Shine comes up towards the crowd a bit more drunk than usual. It's funny, watching him go up and people seem to part away. They don't want to catch the crazy, it seems. "What do we have left in this Celestia-forsaken hellhole other than dead bodies and dead eyed ponies." He mumbled in a lamenting tone.
06[13:42] * +Karina glances at Cookie. "Me... go with you... and attempt life anew?"
06[13:44] * +SmartCookie nods to her. "Yeah. I think the wastes should be a little less... nasty, you know, food for wildlife being a little scarser and so on.", he says, hoping to be able to get her on his side.
06[13:44] * +Primer taps her chin thoughtfully. They were really leaving. She stops to consider, she was never at her best during the day and really needed to think about this more carefully, but this nights attack was nearly the last drop.
06[13:50] * +Karina "I... I reckon. And safety in numbers still beckons... But where would you find a group? Sit and wait on the stoop?"
06[13:51] * +Primer makes up her mind and stand up, then walks closer to the earth pony and cloaked stranger. "Excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear," She gives a nervous smile to the earth pony. "you were considering leaving?"
06[13:51] * +Karina gives an instintual meep and lowers her head.
01[13:51] <+Karina> instinctual*
04[13:52] * +SmartCookie looks at the new arivel and then nods. "You heard right. Are you interested?", he asks, before briefly looking to karina.
02[13:52] * Xavi ([email protected]) Quit (Client exited)
[13:53] <+Primer> "I might be." Primer says guardedly.
06[13:54] * +SmartCookie nods and smiles at her. "I'd still like to find at least one more ponie, if you wouldn't oppose.", he then says with a little snicker.
06[13:55] * +Keen_Shine listens to the idle chatter around him. It's strange, it's after people die where people talk most about the situation instead of the fact that the "Old Worlder" is around. It was around then when he decided that he had literally nothing to lose and sort of everything to gain from not being in Hovelhoof. He listened to these ponies talking about how angry they are, how the Steel Rangers...
06[13:55] * +Keen_Shine ...should handle these bloodwings. And from his peripheral hearing, a low mention of leaving.
06[13:56] * +Keen_Shine grumbles a bit in resignation. Fuck it. Those ponies were getting a tagalong whether they wanted him or not.
04[13:56] * +Primer nods. "Safety in numbers." She sits down, then gives Karina a curius look. "Of course, it all depends on what we bring to the table."
06[13:57] * +Karina makes like her hooves are the most interesting thing in the world.
06[13:58] * +SmartCookie spots the periah, standing by and looking in their general direction. "Hey you. Keen right? Wanna go out and unleash some old world havoc on the wastes?", he asks with a chuckle.
06[14:01] * +Primer thinks to herself; "Whoever this is he/she is even more shy than I am." She then turns her head to the pony newly adressed.
06[14:02] * +Keen_Shine is very, very surprised. Usually, when people are nice to him, it means they want something out of him. Well fuck it, they don't really have much to take. "Old world havoc? You'd be surprised to hear the old world isn't exactly one filled with havoc."
06[14:03] * +Keen_Shine rolls his eyes. "I was gonna follow you lot out anyway." He admits. "This place isn't a town anymore. It's a graveyard."
06[14:03] * +SmartCookie snickers and says with a bright: "I don't care, laddy. So you're in for our little bummel?" Sometimes things seamed to develope rather quick.
[14:03] <+SmartCookie> +smile*
06[14:06] * +Karina keeps her head down and follows Cookie
06[14:07] * +Primer sighs, seems like this was going to happen. She scratches her ragged ear. Might as well try to tag along, this buck seemed to know what he was doing.
[14:08] <+Primer> "I'm in."
06[14:08] * +SmartCookie turns back to Primer and nods. "So what does everbody bring to the table? To reherse Primer question."
[14:09] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The Mayor trots up to the group of misfits. He shoots a dark look at Keen; "Ain't like it's much prettier out there. At least here you have walls and a roof over yer drunken head." He then turns to Smartcookie. "Cookie, there's a caravan due in this morning and we got nothin' to trade with. Our last scavenging party never came back after last night."
06[14:11] * +SmartCookie looks to the Mayor. "And how do i come into play then? I mean you didn't exactly thing i was a scavanger after all, didn't you?", he says with a testing look.
[14:12] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 As if on cue, a gridning of metal can be heard from the south end of town as the gates open. A brahmin trots lazily into the town, pulling a cart behind it. Sitting upon the cart is a merchant pony who looks more than a little disgruntled. The wagon is flanked by two moderately well armed ghoul ponies wearing the colours of Rottingtail's Militia. However, no sooner had they led the merchant into town, then they turned and began
[14:13] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The Mayor facehoofs; "Damnit, he's already here. Listen, I know you ain't good at it, but you're all I've got left. I'm only gonna be able to keep him here fer so long b'fore he goes elsewhere. Ah need ya t'find somethin' worth keepin' him around."
06[14:13] * +Keen_Shine grits his teeth and glares back The Mayor. "At least out there, I might not have to try to hide from these fucking monsters behind a corrugated tin roof!" He wasn't quite in the mood to take this, not with this many bodies around. "What do you care, anyway. You wanted me gone since I walked into town and opened my mouth."
[14:14] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The Mayor ignores Keen, looking between the merchant and Cookie.
06[14:14] * +Keen_Shine rolls his eyes. Yeah, he hated this man's guts, but he was still the closest semblance to anything law-based from the old world that he found.
06[14:15] * +SmartCookie still bombards the mayor with his look. "And what's in for us... good sir. As far as i remeber we were about to cut ties to this place soon enough anyways."
[14:17] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The Mayor snorts; "What, and giving you food and shelter suddenly isn't good enough? Either you do this, or yer not comin' back." He then departs, trotting up to the merchant and trying to talk to him. The merchant seems to be in a bad mood.
06[14:18] * +Keen_Shine gives a gallows smirk. "You're not exactly making this a very hard decision, Mayor."
06[14:19] * +SmartCookie snickers. "Not very hard to decide to leave this mess anyways... Let's see what those ghouls have to say, maybe they know what's their employers chip on their shoulder."
[14:20] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The ghouls are outside the gate, chatting to each other while one of the smokes. The merchant keeps interrupting his talks with the mayor to shoot them dirty looks
06[14:21] * +Primer looks at the ghouls, then the merchant. She shoots SmartCookie a glance. "We could ask the merchant."
[14:22] <+Primer> "He might have something to do."
06[14:22] * +SmartCookie looks towards the merchant. "Yeah before he start's to look at us as if he wanted to eat our guts...", he silently replys and then canters over towards the merchant.
[14:24] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant is presently showing off what wares he has to the Mayor. The Mayor is already picking out things he might wish to procure, all while skirting the fact that they don't have much to offer at the moment
06[14:24] * +Primer folows discreetly behind SmartCookie. Shooting the cloaked figure beside her nervous glances, shy or not this pony was making her nervous.
[14:25] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The Mayor tells the merchant about the last night's bloodwing attack, hoping to garner some sympathy. The merchant seems to irritated to give any
[14:26] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 too
06[14:27] * +SmartCookie finally decides to rather canter to the ghouls, which he soon does. "Hey. Your Boss seams to have a really heavy chimp on his shoulder, doesn't he?", he asks one of the ghouls.
[14:29] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 "What's it to you, smoothcoat?" asks one of the ghouls, an earth pony. The other, a unicorn, floats his cigarette up to his mouth and takes a drag.
06[14:29] * +Primer shakes her head, but does take a quick peek at the wares the merchant is selling while passing.
06[14:30] * +SmartCookie shrugs slightly and then says: "Well i was thinking about trading with him. But i kinda looks like he'd like pummel errbody."
[14:31] <+SmartCookie> he*
[14:31] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The Merchant looks to Primer; "If you want to buy something, I hope you've got somethign to offer. After that last escort, I'm not about to be giving any charity."
[14:32] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The ghoul snorts; "Lousy punk wants our protection, but then bitches when he has to pay for it. Manehattan's a dangerous place, specially for those who got the goods and caps."
06[14:33] * +Primer quickly looks away from the Merchants wares. "Just taking a peek." She quietly moves up to join Cookie and the ghouls.
06[14:34] * +SmartCookie nods. "We got a bloodwing attack just this morning, killed a dozen ponies.", he says, before idly asking: "Anything new going about the region?"
[14:34] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The earth ghoul actually chuckles; "You're awfully chatty for a smoothcoat. Ain't afraid we're gonna eat yer brains or sommat?"
[14:35] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant scowls at the ghouls, giving a warning call to primer; "I'd stay away from them. Highway robbery. Only reason they can get away with charging so much is because they happen to have some decent ordinance."
06[14:36] * +SmartCookie snickers. "There are soo many things out here, that want some part of you for food. Ghouls are like a droplet on the frying stone.", he says with a snicker. "And that wasn't exactly the answer i was expecting, you must admit."
06[14:36] * +Primer takes the merchants advice under consideration.
[14:38] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The ghouls seem somewhat surprised by Cookie's forthcoming nature, but are still generally unpleasant. "Did you need somethin' from us? Or were you just being *snort* neighbourly?"
06[14:39] * +Karina starts nosing and poking around looking at some of the goods.
04[14:41] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant walks away from the Mayor, apparently not pleased with the lack of revenue the town is presenting. He stops next to Karina; "If you see anything you like, you'd better be able to pay for it. The Mayor's a deadbeat and I don't do charity. Especially not after what I had to pay those ghouls." The unicorn glances to his back, where a lever action shotgun is strapped; "Hell, only reason I needed to hire them was becaus
[14:41] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 else around to offer some protection."
06[14:44] * +SmartCookie snickers and says: "Well i was rather neighbourly asking if there was something interessting going on over yonder", making a hoofgesture towards the general direction of the outskirts if Manehattan and the wastes beyond.
04[14:45] * +Primer studies the cloaked figure while the ghouls and Cookie talk. Finally deciding to try and make some connection to the ponies she was going to travel with, primer walks softly up to Karina and says; "Uhm, hi. Name's Primer, you?"
[14:45] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The earth ghoul shrugs; "Same ol, same ol'. Bloodwings, manticores, Raiders. Makes me glad most o'em prefer fresh meat," he sneers. "Why, i ain't like you Smoothcoats get out much."
[14:45] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 it
06[14:47] * +Keen_Shine decides now might be a good time to plan something out. "Know of any good places around here a prospective scavenger might decide to loot?" Keen says, trotting on up to the other ghoul.
06[14:47] * +SmartCookie "Out of hovelhoof we do get, but towards Manehatten, scavanging and such, there usually isn't too much to get from Wastes, compared to a whole graveyard that can be robbed.", he says.
[14:50] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The unicorn ghoul eyes the bathrobe wearing pony warily, then discards the butt of his smoke. "We don't do scavening work," he claims. " Sheriff Rottingtail pays us to keep the peace around here, and we use that to buy what little we need from the merchants that can be bothered to trade with us."
[14:55] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The ghouls raises a hairless eyebrow; "Like my pal said, we ain graverobbers. We're militia. If yer lookin' for an escort, then maybe we can talk. I get the feeling that merchant is gonna scab out on us."
06[14:55] * +Keen_Shine holds back an urge to roll his eyes. "I meant, you must've seen some places up the road. I'm looking for places to duck under in case the swarm comes around. One nearly got through. I don't want to leave my life to corrugated iron again."
[14:56] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The unicorn ghouls shrugs; "That's your problem smoothcoat. We ghouls aren't as appetizing to bloodwings, and any that do give us trouble we can usually handle."
06[14:56] * +SmartCookie snickers and then says: "Gonna think about your words.", before truning away and trotting back to the other two of their little rag-tag team.
03[14:59] * Shadow77777778 ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[15:00] * +Keen_Shine finally rolls his eyes. "Fan-fucking-tastic. Not good with ponies then, not good with ponies two hundred years later." Keen proceeds to walk off with a half-hearted hoof wave.
04[15:01] * +Primer stops in her attempts to socialise with the shy Karina and looks up as Cookie trotts up close to them.
06[15:02] * +SmartCookie looks up to Primer and asks: "What have you two been able to get to your knowledge."
[15:03] <+Primer> "Well, those two," She waves a hoof discretly in the ghouls direction. "are not an option as far as the merchant is conserned... I think he's looking to hire."
03[15:05] * DocWinter ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[15:05] * +SmartCookie looks inquisitievely at Primer. "Are not an option?", he asks.
[15:05] <+Primer> "Too expencive." She answers.
06[15:06] * +SmartCookie nods. "Maybe we can tag along with the Caravan and see where we'll end up.", he suggests
06[15:08] * +Karina looks up at Cookie. "Safety in numbers... and maybe avoid those bloodsuckers..."
06[15:08] * +Primer gets uncertain. "Perhaps." She is reminded that she still doesn't know what the others are capable of in a fight.
06[15:08] * +Karina looks back over to Primer, considering what she should tell the mare.
[15:08] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant seems to size up the group; they didn't look like much, but that meant cheap. He could handle a gun well enough himself.
06[15:08] * +Keen_Shine look off into the distance. "I'd rather see what's around here. Find something to scavenge in all of this."
[15:09] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant speaks up; "So, if you ponies are looking to get out of town, maybe we can make an arrangement? I'm heaving to gutterville next, and I don't want to pay through my teeth for Rottingtail's militia anymore."
[15:11] <+Primer> "Gutterville sounds nice." She looks over the wares, nothing too tempting for raiders, maybe they were safe enough.
[15:12] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant looks somewhat hopeful; "You lot got ordinance?"
06[15:12] * +Keen_Shine shifts his vision towards the two. "I'd see about not pissing off the regular business of ponies with guns." He whispers to the crew.
06[15:12] * +Karina looks at Primer again and sighs. "If we are going together on this quest so bizarre... perhaps you should know my name is Kar."
06[15:13] * +SmartCookie scritches his chin and nods, looking towards the other two and saying: "What about getting to Gutterville and see what we do from there?".
[15:13] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The two ghouls trot up to the merchant; "You really thinkin' about hiring a bunch of greenhooves fer protection? Your funeral I guess, but yer still payin' for the trip here."
04[15:14] * +Primer is surprised by the hooded figures sudden openness. Kar... short but easy to remember. Primer nods to Karina and gives her a smile.
06[15:14] * +Karina nods at Cookie's suggestion, seemingly believing it to be a good idea. It would, afterall, at least get them out of Hovelhoof.
04[15:15] * +SmartCookie looks back to the Ghouls, one ear perked to Primer and Karina, before saying: "Well look at it that way. If we all get killed, you guys havea the opportunity to see how looting and scavanging is like, don't you?"
[15:16] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The earth ghoul snickers coldly; "That's the most optimistic death expectation I've ever heard. But like I said, we ain't scavengers."
06[15:16] * +Keen_Shine glares at the two ghouls. You might get away with calling him a coward, but not calling Keen a greenhoof. The RCA drilled him too hard not to. "I'm in. When do you leave?"
02[15:17] * +DesertStorm ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: See you !)

03[15:18] * SpencerDespenser ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
06[15:20] * +Primer shifts a little, getting her weapons of choice into reach. She adresses the merchant. "I don't know about my companions, but I pride myself on my knowlege of explosives."
[15:22] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant seems wary; "That's impressive I guess, but do ya'll have anythign what won't blow up in my face?"
06[15:22] * +SmartCookie looks at the others and then at the merchant, saying: "I think it would be best, if we'd all gear up and meet here again. You know while the merchant is trading."
[15:22] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant nickers, shooting a glance in the Mayor's direction; "Yeah, trading."
06[15:24] * +SmartCookie snickers and says: "And after that old scruge lost his 'main scavangers' good ol' Smart-Cookie suddenly is an option again." He then looks to the others. "So what you say? Gear up and meet here again as soon as possible?"

03[15:25] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Eridani
06[15:25] * +Primer sits down to wait, already wearing all of her meager belongings.
06[15:26] * +SmartCookie trots of towards what he called a home for the longest time, to get his gear.
[15:26] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The earth ghoul snickers; "Okay, have fun then. But when you die, it'll just remind folks why we're worth payin'." he and his companion then trot off after the merchant floats a sachel of caps over to them
06[15:27] * +Keen_Shine looks to his left and right. "Yeah, sure. Everything I've got. Right. I'll, um, get right on that." He says, trotting around a short circle before being at location again. "Done."
06[15:29] * +SmartCookie returns with his varmintrifle strapped over his back and the Armour he used to wear when Scavanging, 9mm Pistole in a holster within mouths reach.
06[15:29] * +Karina goes back and gets her things. They are all neatly stored in custom saddle-back-like pouches on the inside of her cloak. She returns to the rest of the group.
[15:30] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant eyes the bathrobed pony curiously, then looks at Smart Cookie. He seems reasonably impressed with the armaments. He isn't sure what to make of the cloaked figure. "Well, since you have your own gear, I'll offer 50 caps each for the escort to gutterville."
06[15:32] * +SmartCookie looks at the merchant. "And what about if we run out of bullets? We're not exactly burtes as you can see.", he then asks.
[15:34] <+Primer> "Fifty caps? Sounds a bit on the cheap side, you are getting four guards in stead of simply two," She waves to Cookie. "He has a decent long range rifle, and I myself have a good knowlege of mines and grenades. I'd say that our versatility would definetly make us wirth more than your former hirelings."
[15:36] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant looks unimpressed. "50 caps a head. take it or leave it."
06[15:37] * +Primer backs away, giving the others an apologetic look.
[15:37] <+Primer> "I'm still in." She mumbles.
[15:38] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant smiles; "I might have offered more if yer Mayor had actually had anything to help me replenish my funds. Lousy deadbeat."
02[15:38] * tosxychor ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
06[15:40] * +Karina steps over to Cookie and gives him a gentle prod, hoping he'll take the hint and accept the deal.
06[15:40] * +Keen_Shine grunts a bit. Karma's a bitch.
06[15:41] * +SmartCookie nods to Primer with an understanding smile. "We're in.", he then tells the merchant.
[15:42] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchants grins; "Excellent. Glad to have you on board. You can call me Lockbox."
06[15:43] * +SmartCookie then adds: "I may have something interessting for you thoug... I get a few pre-war weapon-shipment manifests from my scavanging runs, that may be of interesst."
[15:44] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant floats the documents out in front of him and gives them a look over; "Sorry pal, but yer info's out of date. This site's already been picked clean."
06[15:45] * +SmartCookie snickers and says: "Was worth a try. You don't happen to have any other information about those sites?"
[15:47] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant shrugs; "Anything not nailed down or locked up would be gone already. Now then, there ain't nothin' here worth stickin' around for. You ready to go?"
06[15:47] * +Primer nods.
06[15:47] * +SmartCookie nods aswell.
06[15:50] * +Karina nods
[15:51] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant steers his brahim around and heads out of Hovelhoof with his new cheap, inexperienced guards in tow. The Mayor scowls al all of you as you leave; "Don't think you'll be let back in when you come runnin' back!" he calls
[15:51] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 at
06[15:52] * +Keen_Shine grins madly, not even bothering to look back. "Wouldn't think of it, Mayor!"
06[15:52] * +SmartCookie snickers at keen's remark and says: "Come to hovelhoof, it's warm an cosy and if you are lucky you get sucked dry by the bloodwings."
[15:55] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Lockbox estimates that travelling to Gutterville will take about half the day, provided they don't run into any mishaps. Mishaps being anything bigger than a radroach or four.
06[15:57] * +Keen_Shine figures somewhere along the road, he'd better properly introduce himself. "My name is Keen Shine." He said a bit down the road, when no one was doing anything in particular. "I guess I'm a medic. That's what they trained me to do."
06[15:59] * +SmartCookie nods to Keen and then says: "I'm Cookie. I think i'm pretty good with terminals and such."
[16:00] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 As Lockbox maneuvers the brahmin through the main streets of Manehattan, the group rounds a corner to find a single pony standing in the road before them He's a unicorn dressed in crude looking armour
[16:01] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 "Hey there," claims the unicorn, grinning wickedly. "Looks like somepony's confused. You're travelling through my turf right now."
[16:01] <+Primer> "Oh, hell." Primer mutters.
06[16:01] * +Keen_Shine draws his magi-pistol. Better be safe than sorry, and maybe the threat of it might make him move.
[16:02] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 "Now now," says the unicorn, glancing at Keen's weapon. "I'm a reasonable pony. I can forgive some dumb shits' ignorance. You wanna cross my turf, it's a hundred caps each, Plus another fifty for your little... misunderstanding."
06[16:03] * +SmartCookie draws his 9mm aswell, aiming at the seemingly crazed pony.
03[16:03] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
06[16:06] * +Primer nervously pulls out a grenade, shiny with grease from the protection it gave from rust.
06[16:07] * +Karina 's ears twitch back and forth as she listens for hoofbeats. She trots up to the group and says quietly, "This isn't good in any degree. Off to the side I can hear three."
06[16:07] * +Keen_Shine mumbles. "Three sepths 've tracks. Be on ptha lookoutph."
[16:08] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 "Last chance folks," says the unicorn, his horn glowing as a rather beat up looking sawed-off shotgun floats up next to him. "You can pay the toll, or you can die."
06[16:09] * +Karina begins to scamper off and find cover off the side of the road or in an alley.
01[16:09] <+Karina> scamper off to the right*
06[16:13] * +Keen_Shine stares him down, looks him dead in the eyes, and with a tense moment past, lets loose a couple of shots with his magi-pistol.
[16:14] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The shots miss the road blcokign raider. "Alright, that's how you want it. Fuck 'em up boys!"
[16:20] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 One of Keen's 'warning' shots strikes the lead raider in the chest as three more run out of the alleys beside him. One is armed with a small pistol, another with a chuck of lead pipe, and the last with a sharp looking knife
06[16:24] * +DesertStorm hears the familiar sound of Magical Weapon discharge and rushes to the window, which is open, only to allow the muzzle of her rifle to poke through. Looking through the rifle's scope, she has a good view of the fight. More mindless mud pony squabbling. But still, that one's got a magi-pistol...
06[16:29] * +Karina pulls out her .22 Silent and sneaks up the side of the road, attempting to stay out of sight. She stops once she's close enough, and takes aim at the pony Keen Shine shot at.
06[16:29] * +DesertStorm 's crosshairs move from pony to pony. She doesn't immediately recognize any of them, but the ones standing around that cart look a little...cleaner than the others.
[16:35] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Two nearly silent 'pfft's can be heard as the zebra sneakily unloads into the lead raider. The first shot goes through a hole in his patchwork barding and hits something vital, causing him to stagger, The second just barely manages to punch through. The Raider staggers, looking pained.

06[16:41] * +Keen_Shine dashes to the side, letting loose two more practiced shots towards the shotgun-wielding pony. He wasn
[16:41] <+Keen_Shine> 't going to have a good day today.
[16:44] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The lead raider howls as another magical energy blast strikes him in the chest, burning him and dissolving a fragment of his poorly made barding.
06[16:47] * +DesertStorm still watches the fight. It was pretty clear that the ponies in shabby armor are the insitgators here... Throwing caution to the wind, she places the center of her crosshairs squarely over the shotgun wielding pony's head and squeezes the trigger.
06[16:52] * +DesertStorm is undeterred by that horrendous misfire and fires again.
[16:54] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Two loud cracks echo through the street as shots from an unkown location are fired. The first hits the street, throwing up a cloud of ash, but the second hits the lead Raider's head, turning it into applesauce. His body and shotgun both fall to the ground with a thud.
[16:56] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 "They got da boss!" shrieks one of the other raiders, the small pistol dropping from his mouth. He and the pipe wielding buck both flee, not willing to face whatever had managed to kill their intrepid leader. Only the earth pony mare with a knife in her teeth seems to have any inclination to stay
[16:58] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 "Yuff biffs arr mt!" yeels the mare around the knife in her mouth. She charges towards Keen, swinging wildly.
[17:01] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The raider mare manages to plunge her blade into Keen's shoulder, but the armour underneath his bathrobe prevents any serious injury

[17:21] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The Raider mare takes both shots into her torso grazingly, grunting in pain
[17:23] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Lockbox floats out his Lever-Action shotgun and fires off two shots into the raider mare
[17:25] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 One of the merchant's shots goes wild, but the second round of buckshot takes a chunk out of her shoulder

06[17:28] * +Karina pivots to aim at the only threat left, the raider beating on the crazy pony. She aims and fires off as many as she can.
04[17:32] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Both of Karina's first two shots find a home in the raider mare's exposed hindleg, causing the limb to slip out from under her. She howls in pain and lets go of the knife, leaving it embedded in Keen's shoulder
[17:33] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 With her shoulder and hip shot full of holes, the raider mare kilters and falls onto her right side.
[17:35] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 "You killed muh stallion!" the raider mare roars in pain and anger, "Ah'll kill ya'll!"
06[17:38] * +Keen_Shine isn't quite used to being stabbed. He frantically places his magic weapon in front of him and takes aim, then firing with wild eyed abandon.
[17:41] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The raider mare stops yelling abruptly as two beams of magical energy strike her, dissolving her into glowing pink ash
06[17:43] * +Primer falls to her haunches after seeing the mare dissolve into ash right before her. The image of her disintegrating face terribly clear in her mind.
06[17:43] * +Keen_Shine the adrenaline makes his body shake in fear and silence for a little while. "Did... Did she...?" Keen plopped down on his flanks, feeling all the strength come out of behind him. Granted, he's not exactly great on one of his front legs, either. "I killed a fucking helpless opponent. Oh fuck. I-Ironsides..." Suddenly, he doesn't feel too good to his stomach.
06[17:43] * +Karina steps out of the shadows and slowly walks towards the fallen "leader" pony. She checks to make sure nobody else is nearby before she searches him. She also didn't see the pony disintegrate from Keen's blasts.
06[17:45] * +Keen_Shine starts the heavy, cheek bulging breathing that comes with the evacuation of one's stomach contents. "I... I killed a... Oh. Fuck."
06[17:46] * +Primer dives backwards to avoid the incoming sick.
02[17:47] * +Kashin ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: See you !)
06[17:49] * +Keen_Shine suddenly dashes off towards a ditch and, well. Vomits up his meager lunch. An absent-minded observation led to him discovering that he really didn't think he had that much granola in him. Fancy that.
06[17:50] * +SmartCookie reloads his 9mm by simply popping in a fresh mag, holstering the weapon again and putting the old mag in his saddlebags
06[17:50] * +Primer pants for a minute or two, then walks over to her dropped grenade, sheathing her shank and stuffing the metal apple back into a saddlebag.
06[17:50] * +Karina picks up a 9mm pistol, a double barrel shotgun, 13 9mm rounds, 8 shotgun shells, and a dose of Rad-Safe from the leader's body and his surroundings. She begins walking back to the group, trying to not look at Keen's sick everywhere. "Well guys, that was quite the surprise. It may not be unwise to surmise they may revise their disguise and make an attempt to reprise."
06[17:51] * +SmartCookie looks to primer. "I think Primer should get that Pistole. Flailing with that knife didn't seem to work too well.", he says
04[17:51] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant looks at Karina quizzically; "Not sure what you just said, but mighty fine work. Ya'll can keep that stuff if ya want; Ah got better wares."
[17:52] <+Primer> "If nopony minds me having the pistol, let me check the pile first."
06[17:52] * +SmartCookie canters over to the ashpile and starts checking it.
[17:53] <+Primer> "Anything interesting?" Primer asks Cookie as she wanders up.
[17:54] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 The merchant takes a look at the beat up shotgun; "Besides; mines in much better shape than that misfire waitin' to happen."
06[17:55] * +SmartCookie takes 9 Caps and a dose of buck out of the pile that magically staid intact and puts them into his saddlebags. "A few caps and a chem.", he responds turning around.
06[17:56] * +Primer scratches her ragged ear. Damn thing always itches, then she turns to Ker. "Uhm, do you mind if I take a look at that 9mm?"
06[17:57] * +Karina listens to the merchant's comment and looks at Cookie. "Despite it being a sight, you might delight in fixing it up right?"
06[17:57] * +Karina looks at Primer blankly for a few moments before silently reaching back and holding out the 9mm for her.
02[17:59] * @uSea ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Flees!)
06[17:59] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "I can see if there is anything to be fixed up."
06[18:00] * +Primer sits down and looks the 9mm over after taking it from Ker. It was worn and could use a thourough cleaning, she hoofs it over to Cookie. "Please do."
06[18:02] * +SmartCookie takes the pistol, and fieldstrips it with quite some experience, after having dropped the mag out of it. He inspects some of the parts, blows out some of the dirt that managed to get in the gun and then reassambles the gun, hoofing it back to Primer.
[18:03] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Lockbox places a contemplative hoof on his chin, then his horn lights up. He floats out a pair of metal barrels that would fit the shotgun, and could be used to fix it. "haven't had much use fer this, considering it a bnous."
06[18:05] * +Primer accept the gun and looks it over, thirteen bullets in total. She places the gun in a decent sized pocket in her armor withing easy reach after making sure the safety is on.
06[18:06] * +Karina nudges Cookie and points to the floating shotgun barrels.
06[18:06] * +Keen_Shine shakes his head, legs weak and tired, sometimes giving out on him when he's trying to walk. "Erm. We-we can go now. Right?"
06[18:07] * +Primer hurries forward to help steadying Keen.
06[18:09] * +Keen_Shine isn't quite used to having a pony to lean on. The thought never really occurred to him, especially around Hovelhoof. But there Primer was. He held his mouth agape, honestly not really knowing what to say.
06[18:10] * +SmartCookie looks over and then takes them with a nod. He then sits down and starts to repair the dropped shotgun. When he's ready the thing seems to be as good as new. "You mind if i keep it?", he asks.
[18:11] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Lockbox snickers; "Well, after that fixup job I might think different, but I did say ya'll could keep it. I've gwon attached to mine anyhow, and it's a different gauge." The merchant looks up and behind his cart, then around. "What I can't figure out is where those two big loud shots came from."
06[18:14] * +Karina shakes her head and says softly, "Even in a crowd that is too loud."
[18:15] <+Primer> "Sounded near." Primer commented as she struggled with Keen.
06[18:15] * +SmartCookie puts the shotgun in his bags and then says with a snicker: "But shure as heck packs quite a punch."
06[18:17] * +SmartCookie then asks: "By the way, who got the Shells for that thing? I think i could use them aswell."
06[18:20] * +Karina pokes Cookie then holds out the eight 12g shotgun shells.
06[18:21] * +Primer turns her head to the rear of the cart, scanning several buildings. "I think the shots came from somewhere over there." She points with a hoof.
06[18:21] * +SmartCookie smiles at her thankfully and takes them. "I owe you a beer or something.", he says with a snicker. "But i guesse we should be going we have a shooter behind us."

06[18:37] * +SmartCookie nuzzles Karinas cheek through her hood.
06[18:38] * +Primer gives Keen_Shine a look. "You okay?" She asks him because of his dropped jaw.
06[18:39] * +Keen_Shine looks at primer. I guess that'll work, he thinks. "Erm. Thank you?"
[18:39] <+Primer> "Don't mention it. Want me to set you down by the cart for now?"
06[18:40] * +Karina starts at the sudden nuzzle, seeing as how she couldn't exactly see Cookie's head. "It's not an action I deplore, but what was that for?" she says, in a generally cheerful tone.
03[18:40] * Shadow77777778_eating is now known as Shadow77777778
06[18:42] * +SmartCookie snickers and says: "I didn't know a friendly gesture needed an explenation. But if you will. A EVIL spirit, took possesion of me and made me nuzzle you!", with a light chuckle.
[18:43] <+SmartCookie> an*
06[18:43] * +Keen_Shine blinks, then nods. Yeah. Some rest will make that mental image go away.
06[18:45] * +Primer tows Keen_Shine to the cart, settling him down upright against a wheel.
06[18:45] * +Karina shakes her hood off her head so she can give Cookie a suitably reproachful glare. Quickly, though, her face falters and it's replaced with a bit of a smile.
06[18:46] * +SmartCookie snickers some more and says with a chuckle: "Don't make the spirit come back."
[18:47] <+SmartCookie> XD
06[18:47] * +Keen_Shine breathes in deeply, feeling as if everything in his body was protesting against him. After a brief it passed. Well, except the mental image, but that's not getting out of his nightmares any time soon.
06[18:48] * +Karina "I... I'm not saying I would mind. You just caught me a little blind."
04[18:49] * +Keen_Shine blinks upon seeing Karina, and immediately looks sort of hurt. He's fighting along side his old enemy. That's a good hit for the old ego.
06[18:49] * +Primer does a double take, she had looked up for a second and now saw that Kar's hood had been pulled back. "You're a zebra?" She asks, slightly surprised.
06[18:49] * +SmartCookie snickers and smiles at her. Then he looks back to the other two, raising a brow. "Is there a problem with that?"
06[18:50] * +Karina 's ears go down and back as she realizes she un-hooded herself not just in front of Cookie, but in front of everyone else as well.
06[18:51] * +Primer shakes her head, there werent any problems, she had just been taken by surprise. "Not really, just surprised is all."
06[18:52] * +SmartCookie nods to Primer and looks over to Keen, trying to read his expression.
06[18:53] * +Karina slowly turns her head around and looks in the general direction of Primer and Keen, but never right at them. One of them looked pretty much unphased, but the other looked like he'd been hit by a wagon.
04[18:53] * +Keen_Shine rolls over on his back, looking away from Karina, mumbling something about wasteland equality. The war's over, he thought. Everypony lost.
02[18:54] * Waak ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87 [Firefox 10.0.2/20120215223356])
06[18:55] * +Karina lowers her head when Keen rolls over away from her. She saved his life, shot the pony that was stabbing him, and now he didn't even want to look at her...
04[18:55] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Lockbox, who was fiddling with his wares, stands up to see the unhooded Karina. "A Zebra? No wonder she was so sneaky. Just don't go gettin' any ideas about sneaking off with my wares."
04[18:57] * +SmartCookie silently says to Karina: "Don't worry. It'll be fine..." He then trots over to Keen to check on him.
[18:57] <+Primer> "Keen?" Primer looks down at him where he sits against the wheel. "What's the matter? She's just a zebra, ancient history, right?"
06[18:58] * +Karina lets her head droop lower and the hood fall back over her head after the merchant's comments. Of course, the sneaky zebra must be a thief... She walks over to the side of the road, away from the group, and sits against a wall.
06[18:59] * +Keen_Shine pauses for a moment, his hoof pinching his muzzle. "Yeah. Ancient history."
06[19:01] * +Primer gives the merchant a look, then hurries up towards Karena. "Hey, Kar. You alright?" She asks, concern in her voice. Then she halts, the damned sniper. How could we have forgotten the damned sniper.
06[19:02] * +Primer starts looking up towards the buildings behind the cart, ready to bolt at the first sign of a scope flash.
06[19:02] * +SmartCookie looks at keen and says: "Don't worry. She's allright, really. I know her from pretty much when she arrived in Hovelhoof." He then takes peak at the other two.
06[19:03] * +Karina shrugs a bit without looking up at Primer. "That attitude is rife, I've dealt with it all my life."
[19:03] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Lockbox doesn't look even slightly abashed; "Don't get me wrong, I hired ya to do a job and you'll get paid so long as you do it. But I'll keep my eye on the striped one."
06[19:04] * +SmartCookie finally suggests with a snicker: "Let's get going then, will we? Not that lockbox here gets any funny ideas about our payment."
06[19:04] * +Keen_Shine shakes his head and looks back in a flustered storm. "I never said that..." He sighs out of resignation, and takes his place on the cart. "I trust her. It's just... I'm crazy, remember?"
06[19:05] * +SmartCookie chuckles at keen and respons: "We all are, remember? Now let's get you up and back going."
[19:05] <+Primer> "Hey guys! HHow do we know the shooter isn't aiming right at us?" Primer almost shrieks. Have they all forgotten?
06[19:06] * +SmartCookie nickers: "You wouldn't move on when i told ya!"
06[19:06] * +DesertStorm grabs her rifle from the window, noticing that the group has begun to leave. They ought to thank her, or at least refund her the ammo she wasted helping them. Bursting out onto the street level, she behind them and shouts "Hey! Stop!"
06[19:06] * +Keen_Shine raises a hoof and waves it lazily. "If they wanted us dead, then we'd be dead. Consider it having a guardian angel."
06[19:07] * +Primer startles at the sound and looks up.
[19:07] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Lockbox freezes, looking behind his cart; he had completely forgotten about the other shooter. He sees the pegsus fly down out of the building at the end of the street and simply balks at him
06[19:08] * +SmartCookie raises his look up the the source of the sound and spots the pegasus aswell.
06[19:08] * +DesertStorm nods to Keen. "I'll take that as a compliment. There any reason you folks are stalking around, shooting everypony?"
06[19:09] * +Keen_Shine drearily looks up and sees the pegasus. Wait, pegasus? Openly? What?
06[19:09] * +Karina sighs at the sound of the new voice. She moves to hide in a nearby clear building.
06[19:09] * +SmartCookie looks quizically. "Shooting anypony? We got into an ambush!", he replies
06[19:09] * +Primer 's jaw drops, a pegasus?! A PEGASUS!? She bolts and puts the wagon between her and the flyer.
[19:10] <+DesertStorm> "From where I was standing, it looked like your friend there fired the first shot."
06[19:10] * +Keen_Shine mats down his bathrobe and jumpsuit and tries to look presentable. Well. Less like a hobo.
06[19:11] * +Keen_Shine coughs, then tries to work up the nerve of being scared or something. Whatever, it's a big scary pegasus. "Hey there. Nice shooting."
06[19:12] * +SmartCookie shakes his head and says: "To bad the audiofeed seemed to lack from where you've been."
06[19:14] * +DesertStorm eyes the pony that keeps complimenting her. A bathrobe...Security armor, familiar stench of cheap alcohol...who they hell was this guy? She looked to the more talkative of the group. "I suppose it was. But you still haven't answered my question."
06[19:15] * +Primer peeks out from behind the cart, she had only seen a flyer once in her life and that was a griffin.
[19:15] <+DesertStorm> "Why are you here shooting everypony?"
06[19:18] * +SmartCookie slowly replies: "Because those raiders set up an ambush and tried to rob us."
03[19:18] * DocWinter ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
[19:19] <+DesertStorm> "Fair enough. You should know that this place is full of ponies like him. Hell, you can't go ten feet without tripping over one, holding ome rusty piece of trash held together with duct tape."
06[19:20] * +SmartCookie raises a brow at her and says: "Sounds like you've only been around in raider territory..."
[19:21] <+DesertStorm> "Stranded is a better word."
06[19:24] * +SmartCookie snickers a little and says: "Maybe you wanna stick around then, we're heading for Gutterville, maybe get you out of the Raiders Turf first."
06[19:24] * +Primer creeps out slowly. The pegasus didn't seem to be threatening, and the wings were pretty.
06[19:25] * +DesertStorm thought about it for a few seconds. "That's sounds... inticing. Where the rest of your  group? I saw at least  one other earlier."
04[19:27] * +SmartCookie looks around to discovered that Karina disappeard. "Kar tends to wander of at times. Who are you anyways. You look like on one those old Army Billboards."
06[19:28] * +Keen_Shine gets out of the cart, and seems a bit stronger in the legs. "Don't mind her. She's just good at disappearing when she wants to." He almost looks on in shame of what this pony was. She was unashamed of her wings, uses them whenever possible, and damn to the folks who tell her no. Keen kinda looked at her in a sort of admiration, really.
[19:28] <+DesertStorm> "Second Lieutenant Desert Storm, 678452056. I get that a alot."
[19:29] <+DesertStorm> (a alot wow me.) a lot*
06[19:29] * +SmartCookie looks quizically at her. "Lieutenant? Of what? From what i know the war is over for about 160 years now."
06[19:29] * +Keen_Shine twitched a bit, holding back an urge to salute. RCA training died hard.
[19:30] <+DesertStorm> "Of what? Funny joke."
06[19:31] * +SmartCookie no has both brow raised. "No seriously, there is no amry persence of any kind in the Wastes since about 160 years."
[19:31] <+DesertStorm> "You're going to stand there and tell me you haven't heard of us?"
06[19:31] * +DesertStorm strikes her most regal pose, unfurling her wings, and staring off into the sky, light glinting off her sunglasses. "The Grand Pegasus Enclave?"
06[19:32] * +Keen_Shine scratches his mane. "Don't suppose Stable-Tec Vitatubes mean anything to you?"
06[19:32] * +SmartCookie narrows his eyes, still with an raised brow. "What now?", he asks.
06[19:32] * +Primer frowns. "Enclave? Who the hell are they?"
[19:32] <+DesertStorm> "..."
06[19:33] * +Keen_Shine suddenly gets very upset, very quickly. "Wait, those buggers up above the clouds?" He mentions, the link between his mouth and brain absent for the moment.
06[19:33] * +SmartCookie looks at Keen and then back at Storm, still quite confused and not one ounce wiser.
[19:34] <+DesertStorm> "Who the hell are they? Buggers? Wipe the dirt out of your eyes! The Enclave are the most technologically advanced war machine on the planet!"
06[19:36] * +Karina rolls her eyes. Great... another arrogant better-than-you jerk...
06[19:37] * +SmartCookie "War machine? In the Wastes?", he asks. After the war there were only ruins and radiation left of what was once the "Warmachine". "Never seen any warmachines around here in my entire life.", he then procedes to say.
04[19:37] * +Primer is completly lost, where did Karina go off to anyway? Might as well go and try to look for her.
[19:39] <+DesertStorm> "You ponies are all hopeless! Hell, if it weren't for me, I'm sure the raider would've torn your hide to ribbons, what with that pea-shooter you have there."
06[19:39] * +Keen_Shine glares at her for a second, opening his mouth again, but then withdrawing after realizing present company would probably want him to shut it.  He didn't look happy about it, though, mumbling something about being fine.
04[19:40] * +Primer goes off to the building that was nearest to the place where she last saw Karina. She peeks inside the opening, listening hard and sniffing the air.
[19:41] <+DesertStorm> "Now, you, Bathrobe, where did you get that weapon?"
06[19:41] * +SmartCookie still looks a little confused and says. "I didn't realize we had any BB-Guns around. But thanks anyways for the help.", he says and then adds: "But damn i wish i'd ever have luck with a second snapshot like that."
06[19:42] * +Karina isn't aware Primer is there, she is still staring at the opposite wall and listening to the conversation outside.
06[19:43] * +Primer gives off a polight cough and walks in trying to not startle the zebra.
06[19:43] * +Keen_Shine holsters his magi-pistol. "Same place I got this armor, chief. Off a dead pony."
[19:44] <+DesertStorm> "Where exactly? And you said something earlier about Stable-Tec, what was that?"
06[19:44] * +Karina spins in place, but recognizes Primer as she is halfway to pulling out her pistol. She stops and settles back down. "Yes? Do you have something you wish to address?"
06[19:45] * +Keen_Shine rolls his eyes, then becomes increasingly aware there's still a knife embedded in him. He pulls out the blade slowly, then ditches it. "A Vita-Tube. Stable-Tec. And some MoP building a while away."

04[19:47] * +Primer sits down, her back against the wall facing the street. "Not really, just wanted to know where you were." She listens for a while in tandem with Karina.
06[19:48] * +Keen_Shine looks around for a bottle of his beer. It was crap for actually disinfecting, but it would numb the pain a bit. "Does that adequately answer your questions?"
06[19:49] * +DesertStorm is taken aback by how easily that pony pulled a knife from himself like that. "Yes...and no. Doesn't that hurt?"
06[19:50] * +Karina sighs after a few moments.
06[19:50] * +SmartCookie observes the Pegasus reactions and then gives a quick glance at Keen, before saying: "The Wastes tends to have far nastier thing then a little knife stuck in your shoulder."
06[19:51] * +Keen_Shine breathes a bit heavier. "Adrenaline hasn't entirely worn off. Right now? Yes. In about a half an hour? Oh yes."
[19:51] <+SmartCookie> things*
04[19:51] <+Primer> "I really don't mind ya'know. To me zebras are just striped ponies, too busy surviving to worry about what happened so long ago." Primer says softly to Karina.
06[19:55] * +Karina takes a minute to think before speaking. Why did a zebra have to be a striped pony? Why couldn't it just be a zebra? But still... the meaning was understood. "Do you know what it's like to be treated like a theif without relief by those without a similar belief?" she asks in a genuinely curious, not demeaning, way.
06[19:56] * +DesertStorm glances at Cookie, unsure of his intent. She scans the street. She still hasn't seen the fourth pony that was with them. Where did she run off to? "If you ponies are leaving this hell hole, I'm coming with you. Understood?"
[19:57] <+TenMihara|GM> 2 Lockbox finally speaks up; "From this hellhole into another one usually. But at least the next one has walls. Don't go trying anything funny though, these folks have been hired to protect me and we're all armed."
06[19:57] * +Keen_Shine sat there with his mouth angrily agape. "You've got to be kidding me." He finally says. Keen rolls his eyes, puts on his grumpy face, and presses on.
06[19:58] * +SmartCookie snickers. "Do what ever you want.", he says to Storm. He then scans the area and shouts: "Come out guys, Pottybreak time's over."
04[19:58] * +Primer lifts out tree worn bowls and a bead from her pack, placing them in a row and putting the bead under the middle bowl. "Do you know how it is for them to be right?" She smiles understandingly at Karina.
[19:58] <+DesertStorm> "Is there a problem, Bathrobe?"
06[19:59] * +Primer stuffs the tools of her trade back in her bags. "Time to go."
06[19:59] * +Karina hears Cookie and sighs softly before slowly standing and moving back out onto the street.
06[20:01] * +Primer trotts up to the group, keeping a wary eye at the newcomer. Still, DesertStorm had helped them. "Name's Primer."
06[20:02] * +Keen_Shine looks at Desert. She got two points for being good with a gun and admittedly good looking, and two for being an flankface about both. "Nothing that needs venting now." He grumbles.
06[20:03] * +DesertStorm quickly says "Pleasure." before looking to Keen. "That's what I thought."
06[20:03] * +SmartCookie nods and says: "I'm Cookie."

06[20:05] * +SmartCookie raises a brow and says half smiling: "I hope there's no problem with that?"
06[20:06] * +DesertStorm looks at him, trying not to laugh. "It's, just an...amusing name, that's all. No problems."
06[20:06] * +Keen_Shine "Keen. Keen Shine." He was vaguely aware that it was an awfully strange name for an Earth Pony, but he didn't really give a crap what she thought at the moment.
06[20:07] * +DesertStorm mutually doesn't seem to give a crap, instead offering a silent nod to Bathrobe.
06[20:09] * +DesertStorm points to the hooded pony trying to hide her face by intently studying the pavement. "Who's your friend? She doesn't talk much, does she?"
04[20:09] * +SmartCookie finally spots Karina and point with a hoof to her and says: "And that's Kar."
06[20:10] * +Keen_Shine looks back at her, and gets an oddly sad looking expression after a moment. "She's just shy is all."
06[20:10] * +Karina simply keeps her head down and walks in the direction of Cookie's voice, stopping beside him.

06[20:13] * +Keen_Shine suddenly burst into laughter, a strangely saccharine sad kind. "You have NO idea." He manages to get out of his choking laughter.
[20:13] <@TenMihara|GM> 2 With introductions made, Lockbox whips his brahmin into moving again, and the group resumes their trek towards Gutterville
[20:13] <@TenMihara|GM> 2 *****END OF SESSION 1*****
06[20:13] * +SmartCookie snickers and says: "Your, name ain't much better you must admit, Desert Storm.", walking on.
