FoE PnP Group Skyfall Session 30

[14:27:06] <Schorcht> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[14:27:13] <Schorcht> Friendship.
[14:28:10] <Schorcht> Some say Friendship never changes. But what part are they talking about? The friendship with someone? Or the principles and values of friendship?
[14:29:21] <Schorcht> Our intrepid adventurers have seen first hoof that loyalties can change at the drop of a hat. Sometimes you have to move on, and others times you have to act.
[14:29:36] <Schorcht> You can't be friends with everyone...
[14:29:57] <Schorcht> **Session Begins**
[14:30:47] Peace stands over the mutilated body, breathing heavily as the rain wash down upon her.
[14:31:17] <Schorcht> The rain continues to pour on the mill causing the dirt to become mud, and forcing the blood to mix in, slowly flowing downstream. The body of Mouse lay dead under the destructive hooves of the alicorn.
[14:31:42] Roulette still crying still looking to the sky , letting the mix of salty tears and rain water wash down her face.
[14:32:15] Bubblegum_Dreamer glances down from the roof, moving down while flying, moving towards Peace. "Peace, you alright?"
[14:33:37] DT slams his hoof to the ground. "Fuck...fuck fuck fuck FUCK!" DT doesn't know what to do! He has to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Get your shit together, you're not the only one hurt over this. He takes a few slow steps towards Roulette, reaching out to try and comfort her.
[14:33:56] Peace snaps and looks over at Bubblegum_Dreamer. Looks down at the body, suddenly realizing what she had done and rear back from it, falling down on her bump sitting in the mud.
[14:34:26] Bubblegum_Dreamer moves and hugs her, stroking her mane from where he can reach. "It's okay Peace. It's okay."
[14:34:49] Roulette is embraced by Dt , turning to him wrapping her hooves around him burying her face into his neck sobbing.
[14:35:00] <Peace> "..."
[14:35:16] <Schorcht> From inside the mill, taking cover from the rain the watching eyes of all the workers can be felt.
[14:36:04] Bubblegum_Dreamer keeps petting Peace as he attempts to comfort her, telling her various things such as "It's okay" "You did what you had to do" and "Everything will work out."
[14:36:41] DT strokes Roulette's mane for awhile, not really knowing what to say. What really could be said? Tears start to roll down his face as well. Despite everything, he considered Mouse a friend.
[14:37:18] <Peace> "I.. Im a monster."
[14:37:24] <@Bubblegum_Dreamer> "No, you're not Peace." He says to her. "You're just a wastelander now. We all have to go through pains."
[14:38:47] Roulette can not here peace over her own sobs , but she woulda denied that statement... well maybe... Sobbing in the cooling rain she looked up to Dt who to was 'crying?' she buried her face into his neck again and tried to speak but couldn't....
[14:39:45] <Peace> "Why didn't I just capture her? I could just have disarmed her."
[14:40:09] <@Bubblegum_Dreamer> "She would have just tricked us or escaped somehow."
[1440:55] <Peace> "But I was just so angry, I didn't think, I just crushed her like.. like.. It was just the most natural thing."
[14:41:44] <@Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Peace you were protecting this place, us, your friends. It was natural to hurt the one who threatened us."
[14:42:38] <DT> It takes him a moment and his voice is a little shaky but DT speaks. "...Are you hurt badly? How are your wounds..." Wounds you got because I wasn't fast enough. Wasn't good enough to stop them from hurting you.
[14:42:42] Peace shakes her head. "Im stronger than that. I didn't HAVE to kill her. I had already won, I pushed her down, I just finished her of!"
[14:43:03] <@Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Peace, she said she'd call down the enclave on us if you let her go."
[14:46:08] <Peace> "but..."
[14:46:35] Roulette pushed from Dt , and crawled through the mud past mouse and tried to tackle the giant alicorn crying " why you take mouse away from me!" sobs , and begins to pound her chest screaming " give her back!" cries , soon the hitting stops and she just sobs on the alicorn.
[14:47:38] Bubblegum_Dreamer Growls at Roulette and flares his wings as she starts hitting Peace before calming down when she starts to sob and only sob
[14:49:12] <Peace> "Im.. I.. I should go.."
[14:49:34] Bubblegum_Dreamer looks to her. "I'm going with you, I'm not going to leave you alone."
[14:49:38] Roulette latches onto her not letting her leave without her.
[14:49:54] DT flinches at Roulettes words. He picks himself up and walks over to them, putting a hoof on Roulette's back. "Peace...I...she doesn't...Just don't go."
[14:51:05] Peace shrugs of roulette and unceremoniously turns invisible.
[14:52:17] Bubblegum_Dreamer still moves and tries to grab at where he thinks Peace is
[14:52:18] Roulette is sitting in the mud now her head hanging. She said all she had strength for and now she just watched the raindrops and tears hit the mud under her.
[14:54:20] DT tries to call out to Peace. "Wait! Don't go! I-If it hadn't been for you, I don't know if we would of survived that fight. Peace...you saved us."
[14:55:55] <Peace> The sound of Peace wings giving a mighty flap is the only response to DT and Bubblegums plead. Peace leaves the iron mill behind, flying north in the rain.
[14:59:00] <Schorcht> The rain is present even if Peace flies North into the skyscraper ruins of Trottingham.
[14:59:09] Bubblegum_Dreamer curses and starts on his way towards the office in the west
[15:00:10] DT sits back down. Even if he could somehow perceive the invisible Peace, there's no way he could keep up with a flier. The sight of Mouse's corpse makes him flinch but he remembers her conversation with the leader enclave. He walks over and looks him over. General looting could come later, he was looking for orders or information.
[15:01:52] Roulette now had been digging in front of her a small hole while she battled her tears for sight...
[15:02:56] <Schorcht> There is no physical evidence of orders on any of the ponies, the most that can be found is a few Bits, several potions and their weapons, armour and ammo.
[15:07:07] DT sighs. Oh well, it was a long shot anyway. He returns to Roulette, stopping to look up at the workers looking out at them. He tries to wave an 'all clear' signal, not that he knows what that would look like. DT sits next to her, wrapping a hoof around the smaller pony's shoulders. "...What are you doing?"
[15:08:14] <Schorcht> The works stop staring at the spectacle and start to talk among themselves but eventual start to move on back what they were doing, and purposefully avoiding going out to the courtfield at this time.
[15:12:10] Roulette she sniffles digging still " d..i..ging a grave..." she said calmly through sniffles
[15:13:20] <Schorcht> The Ministry of Peace building to the EAST, is still being swarmed. The rain does little to even hinder the ghouls, but otherwise even the roof looks unvisited.
[15:14:28] Bubblegum_Dreamer lands on the roof and prepares his weapons for a fight as he steps down into the building
[15:16:15] DT sighs, "...Right. Stupid question." He joins her in the digging, hard as it may be in the rain. He glances around for any bits of scrap or rebar close by to grab with TK and dig with.
[15:16:43] <Schorcht> The entrance to the top floor is as you left it, and the alarms even continue to blare. However it is easy to hear the sound of two robots on tracks roaming the halls.
[15:17:22] Bubblegum_Dreamer easily goes down and prepares to fuck up some robots with his guns
[15:19:16] Roulette looks to him helping her dig the hole..
[15:19:21] <Schorcht> This corridor is empty and the corridor to his left as he remembered leads to the office door he and Peace tried to break into. The corridor on the right seems to sound as if one robot roll around in it.
[15:19:46] Bubblegum_Dreamer looks up to see if the turrets were still there.
[15:21:55] <Schorcht> A quick peek around the corridor reveals the fact that the turrets look to be in perfect condition, interestingly as well so does the door.
[15:22:48] Bubblegum_Dreamer takes aim at the turrets targeting lens, one of them and shoots it, trying to disable it's targeting perimeters
[15:29:58] <Schorcht> It is actually kinda hard to dig a grave for Mouse in the mud, cause every time some mud is removed the rest of it sinks inwards to fill the spot, leaving a divot and then starts to fill up with rainwater.
[15:32:27] Roulette does not care she keeps trying to dig. She feels if she stops she will lose her self even more.
[15:33:29] DT figures that would happen, but doesn't stop. He tries to offer a weak smile when Roulette looks over to him but can't muster it for very long. It's hard work but he'll continue to dig.
[15:36:15] Roulette stops after a little while raising her hoove wiping away her tears. " why mouse have to die?" she asked looking for Dt for answers
[15:39:38] <Schorcht> The turret's targeting lense is shot to shit and breaks off causing it to spark and crackle a little. After the shot the sound of the rolling robots increase in magnitude as they zip through the corridors and one ends up aiming at Bubblegum_Dreamer as it stop short of the stairwell to the roof. The other turret however swivels to bear aim down on him and opens fire.
[15:40:23] DT chokes up a bit. "She...she once told me she would do anything to rejoin the Enclave. She left to fight how corrupt it was but couldn't go back because she was still considered a traitor. Then this buck shows up and dangles the one thing she wanted most in front of her..." He clenches his eyes shut as he realises something. "I-It's my fault. She was so angry at me for what I did back at Tipsy's...I thought if I just gave her space it would be ok but I...she..." He starts sobbing a bit.
[15:40:39] Bubblegum_Dreamer grunts as he's struck
[15:41:53] Bubblegum_Dreamer turns to the robot and opens fire once and then starts to make his way back into some form of cover or safety
[15:43:25] Roulette listened to Dt and inched closer leaning on him sniffling " but but she hurt me and she promised she would never..."she remembered the 'girls' night she had had with mouse.
[15:44:02] <Schorcht> The robot shakes and shudders from the shot, tipping slightly from the force but it keeps itself upright.
[15:48:04] <Schorcht> From the hallway the turret starts to shoot at it's turret brother, but the other robot trundles along and shoots Dreamer in his butt as he runs into the stairwell.
[15:48:06] DT leans back against her, still scraping at the ground. "I'm so sorry Roulette...You were two were so close. She must not of been feeling right since she was out from that fight...I-I don't know."
[15:49:31] Bubblegum_Dreamer growls and turns as he shoots this robot that shot at him and then tries to run up the stairwell after
[15:49:41] <Schorcht> The robot next to the stairwell moves behind Bubblegum_Dreamer and... does nothing? No wait the clicking of a jammed gun is heard.
[15:50:57] <Schorcht> As Peace traverses the ruins of the North it's easy to find the dead bodies of two Minotaurs, probably killed by their prey at some point in time.
[15:51:17] Roulette looked up to him and nuzzled him " She was my best friend here in the wastes"
[15:52:18] <Schorcht> The robot again shakes and rattles but the bucket of bolts seems to hold together. Just barely by the looks of it.
[15:53:57] DT leans into the nuzzle. "I know...You still have me. I promise i'll never hurt you." Even though it was because you were weak she got hurt. If it hadn't been for Peace...He grimaces. "The Enclave ponies had some health potions. You should take a few now."
[15:54:48] Peace uncloaks in front of the half composed bodies of the two minotaurs Roulette killed a while back. Right before they met. The alicorn follows the path into the building where Roulette had crawled…
[15:56:25] Peace sits down inside and sighs.. feeling guilty for killing roulettes friend. Bubblegum explained why it was a good thing, and Peace believes it.. but that was not why she killed her, she had no good reason to kill her, it was just her instincts taking over, instinct she is sure non-monsters did not have.
[15:56:29] <Schorcht> The robots trundle back into the hallways as Bubblegum_Dreamer reaches the roof and is greeted by the rain.
[15:56:32] Roulette shook her head no " Im fine my armor protected me" she looked up to him " and so did you " she plants a kiss on his cheek.
[15:57:41] Bubblegum_Dreamer sighs as he soaks in the radioactive rain now doubt, letting it heal his wounds. "I need to get that info. I need to do this." He says to himself, trying to push himself past the pain, if no one else can push past their pain, he needs to suffer and get past it.
[15:58:37] Peace crawl into a corner and hug her tail.. worst of all she does not really feel bad or sad over Mouse's death... eventually, Peace fall asleep where she lies.
[16:02:46] DT still feels like shit. Noticing Bubble had left as well just makes him feel more helpless. "Can't even look for anypony in this rain..." He tries to shake off the after effects of the Rage, his eyes most likely still bloodshot. Still he digs.
[16:09:06] <Schorcht> Only moments after Peace falls asleep the door flies open as thunder and lightning split the sky and several figures rush into the building. They take a look at Peace and stop in their tracks and gawk in awe. There seems to be two regular sized ponies and one little one. Their figures drip water as they stand there in fear.
[16:11:17] Peace is startled and yanked out of her dimmed state instantly, putting up a shield.. "Wha? what?"
[16:12:43] <Peace> "Please dont shoot me, I mean no harm."
[16:13:14] DT digs, and it fills with rain. Digs, fills with rain. He groans. "This isn't...Wait." He lights up his horn and tries to create a large enough dome shield for them to dig under. At least that way water wouldn't get in.
[16:14:21] <Schorcht> Lightning crashes again lighting up the dark room momentarily. It seems as if there is a foal with her mother and father in raincoats with saddlebags. They don't say a word, but just continue to be frozen in fear.
[16:14:58] Bubblegum_Dreamer [[email protected]] has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[16:15:22] <Schorcht> The shield provides a protective layer against the rain, but the mud is still mud and hard to keep its shape.
[16:16:29] Roulette looks at Dt smiles weakly and continues to dig.
[16:17:00] Peace calm down as she grasp the situation. Lowering her shield. "My name is Peace, Im just resting here to find shelter from the rain."
[16:17:41] DT offers a weak smile back. "There. At least it won't get any worse. Lets finish this and...just try and get some sleep."
[16:18:23] <Schorcht> The mother shakes as she begins to speak. "W-w-we are doing t-the s-same... please don't kill us..." The little filly grabs hold of her mother's leg when she says that.
[16:19:49] Peace flinch and look down to the ground with a sad frown.
[16:19:53] Roulette nodded weakly looking back over her shoulder at mouses corpse............
[16:23:47] DT digs for as long as it takes to get a decent size hole and pulls Mouse's corpse over. He takes off the Enclave armour and the rest of her possessions but leaves on her old mechanical barding. "Would rather remember her in this..."
[16:23:56] <Schorcht> The dripping family awaits a response from one of the legendary, super deadly, pony killing alicorns.
[16:27:14] Roulette can't watch him do this , something about it seemed wrong to her very wrong... But he wouldn't let her be buried alone. She didn't have any flowers let alone anything pretty. So she began to unhook the dice braid her and Dt shared taking one of the roulette balls off placing it on top of mouse when she'd be in the hole.
[16:28:36] Peace turns to face the filly.. "Well, its a good shelter.. you could share it with me.."
[16:30:22] <Schorcht> The mud is defiant and the hole is hardly more than a large divot, but it's about six feet. The headless corpse of Mouse is actually stiff right now.
[16:30:50] DT smiles at Roulette's contribution. "She'll like that." He goes to pat her on the back but his hooves are muddy and decides against it. He starts to cover her up.
[16:31:11] <Schorcht> The family is very hesitant, but gives a small nod. They trot over to a corner of their own and start to unpack things. The little filly give Peace a curious glance every now and again.
[16:31:53] Roulette nods a bit at his comments. It was the only piece of roulettes gear that meant the most and now a piece was given to her fallen friend. No matter what she'd always remember mouse.
[16:33:34] Peace sits in silence for a while.. suddenly realizing she was hugging her own tail like a filly and decide to shape up and try to start a conversation with the ponies.. "So.. youre not from around huh?"
[16:34:57] DT nods. "Yeah...lets grab up everything. I'll take care of the corpses and you go in and tell everypony it's fine. I'll meet you in our room yeah?"
[16:35:35] <Schorcht> The family shakes their heads. "No... we are just moving through..." The filly takes a hiding position behind her mother and observes the alicorn.
[16:37:26] Roulette nods to him and begins to do just that.
[16:38:34] <Peace> "...isn't it too dangerous to be out traveling for a little filly like you?" Peace says looking at the foal.
[16:39:31] DT adds Mouse's guns and food to his kit and wanders over to the Enclave, grabbing and rolling them over. "What do you got for me bastards..." He mutters.
[16:39:42] <Schorcht> She shakes her head before her mother places her hoof around the filly and pulls her close. "She's safe with us..."
[16:40:17] <Schorcht> The corpses have weapons, armour, little munition and Bits. Pre-war Bits.
[16:42:20] Peace rolls over to her back and stare into the ceiling.. "Thats nice... I'd like somepony too keep me safe as well sometimes..."
[16:43:06] <Schorcht> "But you kill ponies..." The little filly says. "Shh" Her mother silences her.
[16:43:28] NitoKa [[email protected]] joined the channel.
[16:44:22] <Peace> "I do.."
[16:46:26] <Schorcht> "You don't need protecting then do you?" The filly asks. "Shhhhhh" The mother responds again.
[16:49:00] <Peace> "Alicorns don't have parents... It would be nice to have parents.."
[16:50:04] Roulette goes inside passing ponies trying to be 'strong' she'd head to the main office she used with mouse and lay on the floor.
[16:50:22] <Schorcht> "Why don't you?" The mother just rolls her eyes and gives up trying to hide the curiosity of the little filly.
[16:51:31] <Peace> "I... I don't know.. Were made in some sort of factory I think."
[16:51:33] Bubblegum_Dreamer heads back down after a minute and eighteen seconds of being healed so he can fight the robots again, his childlike mind throwing a temper tantrum about not being able to help Peace, not being able to find her, not being able to do more to help everyone.
[16:53:02] DT picks the bodies up with TK and takes them out of the compound behind some wall. He grinds his teeth. "Fucking Enclave. Why the hell did you have to show up?!"
[16:53:37] <Schorcht> The building alarm still blares, and it sounds as if the robots are roaming the hallways again looking for targets.
[16:54:33] <Schorcht> The filly stares at Peace. "That sounds dumb" The filly says.
[16:55:28] Bubblegum_Dreamer tries to get a good sight on the turrets again, trying to confirm his suspicion, ready to shoot if need be
[16:56:24] Peace chuckles at the fillies comment. "And how are fillies made then?"
[16:57:27] DT doesn't hesitate in feeding their hearts to The Darkness. I can't let this happen again. I'm too reliant on everypony else! "Don't you hear me? I need to be stronger damn it!" He snorts and leaves them to rot in the rain. Walking back to the factory, he tries to find Clip Board before heading up to Roulette.
[16:59:35] <Schorcht> The mother raises and eye to her child and listens in. "Umm... well... when they love each other... they kiss... then later... there is like... some bird? And he sits on the mommy's head and her tail fall off, and then she puts it back on and the bird flies away leaving a baby on her head" She smiles.
[17:00:28] <Schorcht> The turrets look to be almost in perfect condition, even the one he shot at has its lense repaired...
[17:01:36] Peace smiles and look at the filly in her upside down state.. "I have a colt friend who gave me an entirely different explanation the other day."
[17:02:21] Bubblegum_Dreamer sighs and thinks for a moment, taking the badge and turning back to his regular form. He now knows these bots have self repair talismans. He thinks long and hard... He stands near the stairwell, ready to run. "HELP HELP, CHANGELING SPIES!"
[17:02:29] Roulette is curled up in a ball holding a pillow asleep... tough day
[17:04:46] <Schorcht> The filly blinks. "Oh? What did he say?"
[17:05:06] <Peace> "well..."
[17:06:17] <Schorcht> The robots dart over to Bubblegum_Dreamer and scan him quickly. "Changeling spy must be eradicated!"
[17:06:55] <Peace> "You have a pee pee, and colts have a different kind of pee pee."
[17:07:17] Bubblegum_Dreamer stands over the robot. "It went into one of these rooms! I tried to chase it but I couldn't catch it! Where is the safe room?"
[17:07:55] <Schorcht> The robots scan him quickly and one darts off to where he pointed. "Identification!" The other one blares.
[17:08:18] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Sleepy Time Dreamer." He says, showing his id.
[17:08:37] <Schorcht> The mother rolls her eyes with a small smile and father starts to cough in surprise. "I pee out my butt silly!" The filly replies.
[17:09:03] <Peace> "And then the colt puts his pee pee in your pee pee, and it feels really really good."
[17:09:38] DT starts walking around the factory, calling out to the first random pony. "Oi, you lot. Any of you seen Clip Board?"
[17:09:56] <Schorcht> The robot scans the ID Card. "You do not have clearance to be on this floor! You have 6 seconds to vacate immediately!"
[17:10:23] Bubblegum_Dreamer takes his leave down the stairs to a lower floor
[17:10:26] <Schorcht> Clip Board emerges from the darkness. "I don't know. Have they?" She smirks.
[17:10:56] <Peace> "No you don't..?"
[17:11:33] <Schorcht> The filly looks confused now. "Don't worry about it dear" The mothers consolidates the filly.
[17:12:09] DT flails. "Bwah! Don't do that..." He takes a moment before continuing. "Attackers are dead. Is everypony alright? There wasn't another group trying to get in somewhere else?"
[17:12:10] <Schorcht> Stairwell down to the lower floor is collapsed and the only exit is up.
[17:12:44] <Peace> "Well, I suppose thats true.. well, if you touch yourself back there you got a pee pee, and a poo poo hole, and you use the pee pee hole! Simple"
[17:13:12] <Schorcht> Clip Board shakes her head. "Nopony was hurt... cept you lot. And there are no reports of other strike groups or anything"
[17:14:00] <Schorcht> The mother glares at Peace now. "Touch my butt hole and... pee pee? Ewww" The filly says.
[17:14:04] Bubblegum_Dreamer hmms and takes his leave above then, cursing as he does and sighing before thinking
[17:16:05] Peace is oblivious to the mothers stare. "Yeah, I thought so too at first, but its totally not, everypony does it!"
[17:16:49] <DT> "Right, call me if theres any other trouble from attackers. Otherwise, i'm going to bed." He hangs his head and trods on.
[17:17:22] <Schorcht> The filly scrunches her face. "What really?" The father coughs. "I think that's enough talk about that...." He unpacks his things and actually starts to create a small fire to dry off their things.
[17:18:18] Bubblegum_Dreamer thinks and flies lightly down from the roof, looking for a broken or open window on one of the floors
[17:18:31] Peace signs "How old are you little filly?"
[17:18:32] <Schorcht> Clip Board nods. "Will do" She answers and then begins to skip off.
[17:19:45] <Schorcht> Oddly, or perhaps not, the MoP building is the only building that looks to be in decent shape. No windows are shattered, open, or even cracked. Heck, they even sort of glow purple at the right angle.
[17:20:42] Bubblegum_Dreamer blinks as he looks down to the ghouls below him thinking. He tries to find some window one the first floor. And shoots at it until it breaks, trying to set off an alarm
[17:21:28] DT wonders if he's actually seeing Clip Board skip, or if the exhaustion and pain from today is getting to him. He opens the door to the office and dumps the Enclave Armor into a corner and sheds the rest of his gear as quietly as possible. He strokes Roulette's mane for a moment and settles down next to her to sleep.
[17:22:37] Roulette though asleep she still had tears in her eyes. But was clearly cried out and worn.
[17:22:43] <Schorcht> Each shot from even his Gauss Pistol seems to only crack it slightly as the rounds literally flatten and the purple glow shines bright on impact. And over a few minutes they repair themselves back to their shining glory.
[17:23:30] Bubblegum_Dreamer wonders if he set off an alarm of some sorts inside the building. He might want to try and lure the large beast inside it out.
[17:25:05] <Schorcht> "Five!" The filly smiles.
[17:25:48] <Schorcht> A quick peak inside the window seems to reveal that nothing is out of the ordinary, and nothing seems to be stirring about... right now.
[17:26:26] <Peace> "oh, five months, then you are almost as old as me then."
[17:26:57] <Schorcht> The filly harumphs. "Five years!"
[17:27:12] <Peace> "...really?"
[17:27:35] Bubblegum_Dreamer thinks for a minute, wondering what set the beast off last time. He looks to the ghouls and then to the main entrance. He smirks. He moves above the main entrance, flying above them about a floor in the air. He lets his blood drip from his armor to the floor. "HEY ASSHOLES, WANTS SOME FOOD?"
[17:28:00] <Schorcht> The filly crosses her forehooves and scowls at Peace.
[17:28:54] <Schorcht> The ghouls look up and start to growl and moan, unable to reach him. Except. Out of the crowd darts about ten pegasus ghouls rushing at him.
[17:30:13] <Peace> "...I'm six months old."
[17:30:47] Bubblegum_Dreamer smirks, expecting some to follow him. He takes out his grenade rifle and takes a shot before trying to zoom into the building
[17:31:13] <Schorcht> "Shut up!" The filly replies in disbelief.
[17:32:38] <Peace> "No, really. well, I might be 7 or 8 months, My memories are very hazy from long time ago."
[17:34:23] <Schorcht> The grenade goes flying off and the flying ghouls deftly avoid it, and it blows up when it makes contact with the ground cause one or two ghouls to die out.
[17:35:16] Bubblegum_Dreamer meanwhile is trying to fly into the building's main doors
[17:35:33] <Schorcht> The ground floor is a large open reception area with several big rooms to accommodate visitors. Three hallways run off the main room, one going north, west and east.
[17:35:52] <Schorcht> The flyers follow him, teeth and hooves flailing.
[17:38:44] <Schorcht> "You may only remember that much but you have to be older than that!" The filly claims.
[17:39:17] Bubblegum_Dreamer grunts as they bite him. He makes his way off to the west wing, shooting one more grenade back
[17:39:38] <Peace> "I don't think so.. I was a LOT smaller six months ago."
[17:42:41] <Schorcht> The filly laughs. "Yeah right!"
[17:43:12] <Schorcht> The grenade blows up a single pegasus into mist and the others continue to follow.
[17:43:33] <Peace> "What, no, its toootally true!" This time its Peace who makes a frowny face.
[17:45:47] <Schorcht> As Bubblegum_Dreamer burst through the west wing doors he is greeted with two odd looking creatures with a rough coating, they resemble the bloated look of a turtle but are the size of a pony. Each of them puff up and fire a spike from their back the size of his leg. Once plants itself deep into the wall the other buries itself deep into Bubblegum_Dreamer.
[17:46:47] Bubblegum_Dreamer gasps and grunts as he's hit. He sighs as he turns and spends his entire action trying to get away and take evasive maneuvers
[17:49:25] <Schorcht> The creatures shoot, swing, bite and claw at Bubblegum_Dreamer but he manages to get away and after a few minutes the fliers give up chase and head back.
[17:49:52] Bubblegum_Dreamer flies his way back to the factory, hoping Peace was back.
[17:51:04] <Schorcht> The filly laughs and yawns resting her head on her mother. "It's been a long day" The mother replies and starts to close her own eyes.
[17:51:47] Peace smiles. "You are a nice filly, I hope we meet again... I think I need to get back to my friends before they get worried.."
[17:52:06] Peace rolls back up and leaves the building.
[17:52:41] <Schorcht> The family says their good bye and the waste will forget them faster than Peace ever will.
[17:54:33] <Schorcht> The rain continues as the night makes it's claim on the day.
[17:54:51] Bubblegum_Dreamer eventually makes it to the factory, cringing as he struggles to land
[17:55:11] Peace lands down in the courtyard in the cover of the night. Any evidence of a fight has been washed away by the relentless weather. With a sight Peace starts trotting inside the building.
[17:55:47] DT is snoozing!
[17:56:43] Bubblegum_Dreamer probably comes at the same time, exhausted as he limps into the building
[17:58:13] Peace spots Bubblegum as she makes it inside. She gives him an exhausted smile.
[17:59:05] Bubblegum_Dreamer blinks and looks at peace. He flies up and hugs her tight, wincing from the pain of the spike still in his body. "Where were you."
[17:59:44] <Peace> "I.. just needed to think."
[17:59:58] Bubblegum_Dreamer sighs and shakes his head. "You could have died out there!"
[18:01:44] Roulette is snoozing but had found a new thing to snuggle other than the pillow DT is now victim to her snuggling.
[18:03:04] DT murrs content. Oh hello new small warm fuzzy pillow. Come into the snuggles.
[18:03:24] <Peace> "..me? nah, Im Peace, I'm scarier than things that has to hide in the night."
[18:05:12] Bubblegum_Dreamer frowns and gestures to himself. He then lets go of her and starts work on taking the spike out of himself. "I went and almost got myself killed back at that place after you left."
[18:06:51] Peace "What? Those things almost killed me when I had YOU as backup. Why did you do that?"
[18:08:06] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Because I was mad!"
[18:08:41] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "You left, I couldn't help you, I couldn't feel the pain the same way all the rest of my friends did. I needed something. I needed to take my anger out on something..."
[18:13:18] Peace loose one powerbucker and slaps Bubblegum over his face.
[18:13:43] Bubblegum_Dreamer takes it like a man, like he has been with a lot of things lately. "What was that for."
[18:15:16] Peace yells "...for almost killing my friend because you were.. because.." Peace mellows down and gaze upon the floor. "..because of rage.. just like I just did..."
[18:16:20] Bubblegum_Dreamer looks at her. "Killing your friend? You mean myself?" He asks. "I know what death feels like, I've died before Peace. I'm not afraid of it."
[18:17:40] Peace looks at him.. "But I am..."
[18:18:31] Bubblegum_Dreamer sighs and shakes his head moving away from her. "You know how I felt then, when you just turned invisible and left. I thought you had honestly left for good."
[18:19:43] <Peace> "....I was considering it.."
[18:20:41] Bubblegum_Dreamer nods to her. "I thought so, so why would my life matter anymore without you?" He asks her, tears budding in his eyes. "I have a family member out there that doesn't know me, what do I matter? I died once and cheated it, I should just be dead.
[18:22:43] Peace slaps Bubblegum again. "No, don't even think about you being dead."
[18:24:39] Bubblegum_Dreamer only ends up now crumpling to the floor and bawling. He couldn't take much more and was on the edge
[18:30:15] Peace immediately gets worried. "Sorry.." she runs up and picks Bubblegum up.
[18:32:36] Bubblegum_Dreamer tries to get out of her grip. "NO! Leave me alone!" He says looking at her, tears still in his eyes. "I don't care anymore Peace. I was mad, I know that, I know it was wrong. what I'm trying to tell you is theres a difference between us. You might think you're a monster now, but I've been one for 200 years." He says sniffling. "you don't think I hated it? I tried to be as normal as possible, but I knew at any mo
[18:32:48] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> I tried to be as normal as possible, but I knew at any moment I could just snap and go feral, turn into a mindless zombie that would kill for no reason. I've killed ponies Peace, I've killed friends, because they went feral."
[18:33:19] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "The reason I don't really find you killing Mouse that big of a deal is the same reason I don't find me killing one of my ghoul friends that big of a deal. She went feral."
[18:34:01] <Bubblegum_Dreamer> "Also, why..." He looks up to her, still sniffling and crying. "Why are you hitting me?"
[18:36:51] <Peace> "I- I... No." Peace stomps her hoof in the ground. "Shut up! I love you."
[18:37:59] Bubblegum_Dreamer does indeed shut up, he just sits there and sniffles
[18:39:27] <Peace> "good, and dont be stupid and hurt yourself again. You are not a monster, you are a very unique pony, but not.. a.. monster."
[18:40:56] Bubblegum_Dreamer looks to her. "You're a hypocrite."
[18:41:33] <Peace> "No, Im Peace.."
[18:42:15] Bubblegum_Dreamer shakes his head. "Just nevermind." He says.
[18:42:29] <Peace> "...I'm starving.. let's find something to eat!"
[18:47:32] <Schorcht> And so the night passes and day comes around.
[18:50:41] DT blinks himself awake and gently untangles himself from his marefriend. He stretches out, a good nights sleep and late night ~activities~ makes him feel better, even if a bit sore.
[18:51:43] Bubblegum_Dreamer finds himself with his marefriend as well, moving and going downstairs, sighing as he rubs his aching leg
[18:52:17] Peace is fast asleep. Snooring in a very unprincessy way, drooling a bit.
[18:55:29] DT digs around in his bags for any food and liquid he has. DT turns up canned veggies and boxed preserved apples, along with dirty water and whiskey. He gently runs a hoof down Roulette's back. "Hey...you hungry?"
[18:55:59] Bubblegum_Dreamer sighs as he moves and starts to walk. He thinks for a moment and attempts to do a partial transformation just to get the wings.
[18:56:59] Peace_ [[email protected]] joined the channel.
[18:57:08] Roulette slowly sits up bringing her hooves to her eyes rubbing them with a small yawn looking to Dt. still obviously almost asleep as she opened her mouth for him to feed her.
[18:58:43] DT snickers and levitates over a clump of veggies out of a can. TK is useful sometimes.
[18:59:54] Peace [[email protected]] has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
[19:00:08] Roulette nommes down and chew the food almost nodding off a few times before opening her mouth for round too. It was a rough night for her even with the distraction she was still beat.
[19:00:23] Peace_ comes about with a groan, finding a lack of Bubblegum by her side. Decided that she needs to rectify this, she starts exploring the iron mill.
[19:00:59] Bubblegum_Dreamer wasn't that far away, his limp was impeding him
[19:01:53] Peace_ is worried as she notice him still hurting. "Why.. don't you regenerate?"
[19:02:34] DT is content to feed her the veggies as he digs into the apples with a little bit of whiskey. Gotta get the taste of mare out of him mouth somehow!
[19:02:59] Bubblegum_Dreamer looks at her. He chuckles, his leg was healed up. "It just stings." He says to her. "I mean you try getting impaled through the leg. I don't know what the hell shot at me but it was scary."
[19:03:54] Roulette noms on the veggies and turns taking hold of her pillow bringing it up under her chin watching Dt eat. She wasn't really hungry she was just sleepy , but no more tears left.
[19:04:18] <Peace_> "...well then Ill just carry you till you're kay." she says and build a TK field around Bubblegum.
[19:05:22] Bubblegum_Dreamer blinks at her. "W-what?!"
[19:05:55] Peace_ lifts Bubblegum up and puts him on her back. "Carry you. Ill carry you till you feel okay."
[19:06:48] Bubblegum_Dreamer sighs at her. "Okay, if it'll make you feel better." He huggles her
[19:07:27] <Peace_> "Breakfast!.... I wonder where Roulette is.. I should talk with her..."
[19:07:58] DT sits down next to her, floating the water bottle over. "Got some if you're thirsty." He smiles as best he can, just taking comfort in the sight of her.
[19:08:33] Bubblegum_Dreamer nods lightly to Peace. "You should." He relaxes on his marefriends back
[19:11:34] Roulette reaches her hooves out over the pillow bringing it to her lips taking a small drink of the water. Setting down the bottle once she was done she gave him a smile as she snuggled the pillow tilting her head to the side watching him " thank you hun " she said smiling.
[19:14:47] DT chuckles. "I can at least do this right. So you think Bubblegum and Peace made it back last night? They would know we sleep in here, so i'd imagine they'd come find us if they were." He hmms.
[19:15:04] <Schorcht> And so the morning rolls around and the group gets themselves up and ready to have at whatever the day holds for them.
[19:15:18] <Schorcht> 750 EXP
[19:15:59] <Schorcht> +1 Karma to Roulette -2 Karma to DT
