FoE RPG G0 - #004 Flames and Scrap

[20:38]<SpiritOfFate>	Group 0: *Epitaph* - Session #4
[20:38]<SpiritOfFate>	=================================================
[20:40]<SpiritOfFate>	The group is at the slavehouse, it's still dark, but morning soon approaches. The sound of hoofsteps on the scrap metal floor wakes you up, and a couple other ponies. You can only see a small figure leaving.
[20:40]?	Whisky_Heart gets up early to make sure he gets to the front of the line for morning food!
[20:41]?	Firefly yawns, blinking a couple times at the small figure leaving. Did Liberty Dream come back?
[20:42]?	Wintergreen wakes up lazily, quite exhausted.
[20:43]?	Royal_Lace sleeps
[20:46]?	Sotho sleeps as well, experiencing a bit of a few rough dreams
[20:51]<SpiritOfFate>	The figure leaving is a small donkey jenny, not much older than a foal. The food through is only half full again, but there aren't many ponies awake yet.
[20:51]<Sotho>	He dreams of his family, his little daughter being rasied by his wife, he knows naught if they are safe or if his village is, but he feels worried about them, he dreams they are far away and no matter how far he runs, he can never catch up with them
[20:53]?	Firefly shakes the sleep from her head before she follows the jenny. Maybe the jenny has a friend with food for bestest foalsitter?
[20:54]<SpiritOfFate>	Wintergreen can hear the little filly leaving her side.
[20:55]?	Wintergreen stumbles to chase after Firefly. "Firefly... stay."
[20:56]?	Firefly reaches up and boops Wintergreen in the nose. "No. I'm getting you more food. I'll take care of you, Miss Green" Firefly whispers to Wintergreen before Firefly scurries after the jenny.
[20:58]?	Wintergreen mumbles to herself and chases after Firefly, making sure to keep her in sight.
* Wintergreen tries to catch up to Firefly and stop her. "Firefly, she doesn't have any food. And if you come here, I'll tell you a secret."
<SpiritOfFate> The jenny stops, looking back and around her, nervous.
* Whisky_Heart munches some hay instead of being asleep.
* Sotho starts to wake up from his nightmares, a little in a sweat as he looks around
* Firefly pauses. Miss Green is smart and would know if the jenny has food, and she wants to tell her a secret. Firefly looks back and forth between the jenny and Miss Green before returning to Miss Green. "Yeah?" Firefly whispers to Wintergreen. Secrets are always said in whispers!
<SpiritOfFate> Most of the ponies in the slavehouse are still asleep. Sotho can see Wintergreen and Firefly already left, though.
* Sotho starts to get up slowly, he moves out the entrance, still groggy as he trots
* Wintergreen shoos the jenny away with her hoof, bending her neck down to whisper to Firefly. "She doesn't have food, but... she told me where to find your mother."
<SpiritOfFate> The jenny rushes back to the owners' house, keeping herself low for the dawn is arriving
* Firefly stands stock still for a second before looking at Wintergreen with wide, wide eyes. "She knows where mama is?!"
* Wintergreen nods. "She does, and now I do too."
* Firefly starts to bounce around Wintergreen, each bounce punctuated by "Where is she?" and "Can we get her?"
* Sotho makes it outside, looking at the filly and the fillysitter. "Good morning companions."
* Royal_Lace (ada3e64b@Pony-fa4vp1.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has joined #FoEG0
* Wintergreen smiles at Sotho before turning back to Firefly. "She's at Overgrowth's, wherever that is." She chuckles. "We just need to get some directions."
* Firefly settles down, looking up at Wintergreen. "Okay...and you need to eat!" She turns momentarily to Sotho, smiling and waving. "Hi Mr. Sotho Zebra" before she starts to push Wintergreen toward the food trough.
<Sotho> He chuckles. "Please, just call me Sotho." He says, moving to the food
* Wintergreen is apparently pushed to the food by a filly half her size. She is a little put off that she is weaker than a filly.
[22:06]*	Firefly nods to the zebra as she pushes. Her stomach rumbles in hunger.
[22:07]*	Whisky_Heart is already at the feeding area, munching away at a sizable portion of hay dipped in slop.
[22:07]<SpiritOfFate>	The trough is still only half full, same as yesterday, but the other ponies didn't show up yet.
[22:08]*	Sotho varely can see, too much of that sleep shit in his eyes
[22:08]*	Royal_Lace 's chest rises and falls as she sleeps peacfully, her newly found screwdriver still hidden beneather her.
[22:12]*	Whisky_Heart looks over to firefly "hey kid, i think i found somthing in a hidy hole but my hooves are to big to reach it, feel like a little treasure hunting?"
[22:13]*	Firefly finishes pushing Wintergreen to the trough, panting slightly. She looks over at Whisky_Heart with a small grin. "Oooh, sky pirate treasure! After breakfast?"
[22:13]<SpiritOfFate>	The sun is rising beyond the landfil walls. You can see the darkness vanishing. It is morning. Royal_Lace was able to rest well, and now the ponies start to wake up for food
[22:13]*	Sotho starts tp eat
[22:13]*	Wintergreen starts to eat, quite hungry.
[22:13]*	Firefly digs in without waiting for answer. Growing fillies are hungry!
[22:14]<SpiritOfFate>	You hear a shrill voice at the distance, and 2 figures approaching from the owner's house
[22:14]*	Royal_Lace yawns lightly as her eyes flutter open. Lifting herself up the small mare stretches before making sure her screwdriver is neatly tucked away before trotting out to see what the food situation was. Also she knew she would have to find that whisky character again.
[22:15]<Whisky_Heart>	"sure could be anythign really the hole was dark and small, for all i know it was a bloody lazer gun"
[22:15]*	Sotho looks to Royal_Lace and smiles lightly
[22:15]*	Royal_Lace smiles and waves politely to the king zebra before looking about for Whisky.
[22:16]*	Whisky_Heart is over at the feeding area talking to Firefly
[22:16]*	Firefly continues to eat, though she does start to eat a little faster at the sound of the shrill voice.
[22:17]*	Royal_Lace trots over to the feeding area and begins to eat, slowly and inconspiciously working her way over to Wihsky. When in whisper distance she asks, "So... do you still items we found yesterday whisky?"
[22:18]*	Wintergreen continues to eat. She is starving!
[22:18]*	Whisky_Heart nods his head slightly "i do, i moved them some place harder to find, and harder to get to"
[22:19]*	Sotho finishes eating
[22:20]<SpiritOfFate>	Most of the slaves are lining up to eat now. The slavehouse is pretty much empty right now. As far as Whisky_Heart's judgement goes, they could go in to fetch the mysterious item before the chubby mare gets close enough to notice.
[22:20]*	Royal_Lace continues to politely chew her small bites. "Thats nice, but i was more worried about the pins, do you still have those?"
[22:20]*	Firefly finishes eating, moving over to get some water to wash down the hay and slop.
[22:20]*	Sotho trots out to look around the slave house
[22:22]*	Wintergreen finishes, eating as much as she can, and heads to the water to drink.
[22:22]<SpiritOfFate>	Sotho doesn't find anything of use.
[22:23]*	Whisky_Heart leans to to firefly "lets go find the thing now while no one else is in the house!" she whispers
[22:24]*	Firefly finishes drinking, hunger and thirst sated. She looks up, nodding conspiratorially to Whisky_Heart. "Okay!"
[22:24]*	Sotho shrugs and sits, watching what of nature he can outside.
[22:24]*	Royal_Lace steps in front of Whisky, "But not before telling me if you still have the pins"
[22:25]*	Wintergreen follows Firefly, not wanting the little filly out of her sight.
[22:25]*	Firefly trots back to the slave house with Whisky_Heart. He's the one with the treasure map!
[22:26]*	Whisky_Heart clomps back into the house with firefly to show her the hidy hole with the tube in it!
[22:27]*	Firefly looks into the hole before making a grab at the object.
[22:27]*	Royal_Lace huffs as Whisky_Heart openly ignores her for what seems like the tenth time in two days, snapping her tail angrily Lace gives chace. "Excuse me sir but I belive I asked you a question!"
[22:29]*	Whisky_Heart "ah! yes i do i have a few here" slips Royal the bobby pins from yesterday.
[22:30]*	Royal_Lace offer a small smile to the colt but her face is still flustered, "Thank you sir, now if you will kindly excuse me i have something to attend to. I trust we will be speaking later today before anything ells happens, yes?"
[22:31]*	Whisky_Heart gives a nod "It is most likely yes"
[22:32]*	Wintergreen has quit (Quit: Page closed)
[22:33]*	Wintergreen (62dc3d60@Pony-jkg82a.in.comcast.net) has joined #FoEG0
[22:35]*	Royal_Lace nods, "Alright then"
[22:36]<SpiritOfFate>	Firefly sights a makeshift object made of a metallic tube and a trigger, and a bag of bulletss
[22:36]*	Firefly tries to pull out the gun by the barrel, and the bag of bullets. Treasure!
[22:37]*	Sotho moves into the slave house
[22:38]*	Royal_Lace picks up a few rags from the floor of the slave house, mostly ignoring the filly and colt. Removing three of the pins from her collection Lace wraps them in rags and hides them in her dress before exiting hte slave house in the direction of the food trough again.
[22:38]*	Royal_Lace passes Sotho, nodding to him. "Good morning Sotho!"
[22:39]<Sotho>	"Oh good morning Miss Lace." He smiles and bows lightly. "How was your sleep?"
[22:40]*	Royal_Lace calls over her sholder as she trots off, "Better than most, Ill be back in a moment to tell you more about yesterday after we were seperated. Im sure youll be intreested in what I have to say but for now I have something to do real quick!"
[22:40]*	Firefly removes the gun and bullets from the hole. "Oooh...pirate gun!"
[22:40]*	Whisky_Heart "well well looks like we found somthing good firefly!"
[22:41]<Whisky_Heart>	"are you any good with a gun?" he asks the filly
[22:41]*	Wintergreen tries to take the gun away from the filly. "Firefly, can you please give that to me?" Filly's can't have guns! She looks to Whisky_Heart. "Can you shoot?"
[22:41]*	Sotho tilts his head and decides to follow Royal_Lace, without her knowing
[22:41]*	Whisky_Heart "im not the best shot but i do alright, i wouldnt do very well hiding it however"
[22:42]*	Firefly shrugs, giving the gun and bullets to bestest Foalsitter. She never really learned how to shoot.
[22:43]*	Royal_Lace trots over to the food trough, looking both ways before bending to eat. While she muches she digs a shallow hole near the post nearst the house with her back hoof. As she tilts her head back up she drops a small peice of wrapped cloth into the hole before sliding the dirt back over it and making her way to get some water, acting as if nothing had happend.
[22:44]*	Sotho watches Royal_Lace but doesn't see anything odd
[22:45]<SpiritOfFate>	The shrill voice is approaching, and you can hear the rough voice of the old stallion as well
[22:45]*	Royal_Lace takes a long drink from the water supply, waiting till her thirst is quenched before trotting back towards the house and seeing Sotho, "Oh, there you are Sotho! ...wait, did you hear that?"
[22:46]<Sotho>	He nods. "Yes I did, it sounds much like the mare who bought us."
[22:46]*	Firefly is released of the burden of holding the gun, is about to hop up onto bestest foalsitter and take a nap when she hears the shrill voice. She shivers a bit, and tries to hide under Wintergreen.
[22:47]*	Royal_Lace looks about for the source of the shreik, "Dose it? I couldnt tell..."
[22:47]*	Wintergreen glances around nervously and hoofs the gun to Whisky_Heart. "Hide it or keep it, whichever. The big one is on her way..." Wintergreen keeps Firefly safe under her. Wintergreen is best pone-fort.
[22:48]<Sotho>	"I try not to forget those voices." He says.
[22:49]<SpiritOfFate>	 Whisky_Heart manages to hide the gun  in his tail just before the chubby mare looks into the house. "...now where they are?"
[22:50]*	Firefly looks up from under bestest foal-fort. Her eyes are large, and her knees are shaking as she stares at the chubby mare.
[22:51]*	Wintergreen puts on her winning-est smile, making sure to hide Firefly.
[22:52]<SpiritOfFate>	"With all due respect, miss Knick Knack, but I don't think boss will be too happy if take your workers for... whatever you're up to." The unicorn says, trotting after her.
[22:53]*	Royal_Lace looks back towards the house, seeing the slavers enter. "Oh dear, that cant be good. Sotho I think we may have a problem.... specifically with contraband"
[22:53]<Sotho>	"Contraband?"
[22:54]*	Firefly peeks out a bit from behind one of Fort Wintergreen's legs. She's scared, but still a curious filly.
[22:54]*	Royal_Lace nods as she trots towards the house, "yes, but i can explain later"
[22:54]<SpiritOfFate>	She puffs her cheeks. "Well, I'll show him! I can make my slaves work as well as any. Then he'll see." She nods to the group inside the house. "Slaves, follow."
[22:55]*	Sotho follows her and is still confused
[22:55]*	Whisky_Heart is a bit at a loss but follows since its better then stating a fight this early in the day!
[22:55]*	Royal_Lace skids to a stop at the open door and peeks inside
[22:55]*	Firefly stays with Wintergreen, doing her best to stay out of sight and mind.
[22:56]*	Wintergreen nudges forward Firefly and reluctantly begins to follow.
[22:57]*	Firefly follows with Wintergreen.
[22:58]*	Royal_Lace steps aside as the group heads for the door
[22:59]<SpiritOfFate>	The mare gestures to Sotho and Royal_Lace. "Both of you, come as well." The unicorn tries to say "I don't think that one is one of yours..." He points to Whisky_Heart, to which she shrugs. "One more, one less, same difference." She guides the group north, and the unicorn stays behind, shaking his head.
[22:59]*	Sotho stays quiet and follows
[23:00]*	Royal_Lace trots near the back of the group quietly, silently she prays that they were not somehow found out already.
[23:01]*	Whisky_Heart dosnt ever know who this bossy mare is, but you dont get that fat from working...
[23:09]<SpiritOfFate>	You reach a shack and gate at the end of the road. You can hear snores from inside the shack and smell the coffee pot a small jenny takes inside. A griffon descends from the walkyway on top of the brick wall with surrounds the gated junkyard, and unlocks the padlock chaining it close.
[23:10]*	Royal_Lace attempts to pick up the dress and socks along the way
[23:13]*	Royal_Lace isnt particularly sneaky as she would like but attempts to make a grab for them all the same
[23:14]<SpiritOfFate>	Royal_Lace has her rags quite stuffed now. It's easy to see. As soon as they reach the gate the griffon puts a talon on her shoulder. "What do you have there?"
[23:17]*	Royal_Lace pulls out the dress. "This? I... I found it on the way here. Yesterday one of the task masters said I was working to slow and I mentioned my back. He said to sleep on something soft becouse he wouldnt accept excuses. I thought this would help my work so I dont get punished for another bad day"
[23:20]<SpiritOfFate>	The griffon guards look over at it, twisting its beak a bit at the smell. He looks at the chubby mare, who just shrugs. He nods. "Fine, you can keep it but I have my eye on you."
[23:20]*	Royal_Lace smiles as she folds the dress and drapes is across her back
[23:21]*	Firefly stays low and next to Wintergreen. She tries to keep out of sight and out of mind, but otherwise is following the chubby mare.
[23:21]*	Wintergreen is still following the chubby mare.
[23:22]*	Royal_Lace follows with her new prize, she is almost beaming even from under the coat of filth on her face!
[23:22]*	Sotho smirks as he sees Royal_Lace convince the guard to keep the dress
[23:30]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack, the chubby mare, leads you into the junkyard. "I don't know why they make it all so complicated around here." she says to noone in particular guides them along the wrecked carriages and rusted boxes. "I probably could do much better, but dad just keeps holding me back. I'll show him." She looks over to you and to the scrap metal, and scratches her head. Around you there is a tall brick wall with three watchtowers surrounding you
[23:30]<SpiritOfFate>	, linked by catwalks along the wall, and a small open shack to the north with a chimney billowing smoke.
[23:31]*	Firefly stays quiet, letting the scary mare talk.
[23:31]*	Royal_Lace waits for instruction
[23:33]*	Sotho watchs, standing up straight, poofing out his chest, looking particularly masculine
[23:34]*	Wintergreen rolls her eyes at Sotho. She whispers to him. "I don't think it's a very smart idea to try and look handsome near the desperate tubby..."
[23:34]<Sotho>	"What do you mean?" He whispers back
[23:35]*	Wintergreen shoots Sotho a looks seeming to say: 'Are you serious?' She sighs and whispers back. "Rape."
[23:35]*	Sotho gives a small horrified look back. "Why would you say such a vulagre word?"
[23:36]<SpiritOfFate>	"I think melting scrap? Yeah, you do that. Take scrap for melting." Her eyes wander to Sotho.
[23:37]*	Wintergreen closes her eyes, letting out a breath of frustration. "You're an adult, I think you can handle it." Of course, she makes sure none of this was heard by any nearby, impressionable fillies.
[23:37]*	Sotho nods to Knick Knack, moving to go get some scrap
[23:38]*	Royal_Lace looks towards the mare, a puzzled look on her face. Standing she follows Sotho, "What dose she mean melting scrap?"
[23:38]*	Firefly looks up at the Wintergreen and the others. She isn't sure what she's supposed to do...
[23:38]<Sotho>	"We take scrap and move it to someplace for melting into other things."
[23:39]*	Whisky_Heart shrugs "is not hardest job"
[23:39]*	Wintergreen starts to move towards the scrap. "C'mon Firefly! Time to get materials for your sky-pirate ship!"
[23:40]*	Firefly perks up, bouncing behind Wintergreen. "Yay! Let's get the ship!"
[23:40]*	Royal_Lace still looks puzzled, "Is that what they want all this refuse for? To melt it?"
[23:40]<Sotho>	"Yes, indeed." He says trotting towards where he expects they need to go
[23:41]*	Royal_Lace picks up a small peice of metal and dragging it, following close behind Sotho
[23:41]*	Whisky_Heart the big earth pony follows Sotho
[23:41]*	Wintergreen starts to pick up scrap, bringing it wherever the other ponies were.
[23:42]*	Firefly mimics Wintergreen, picking up scrap and following behind.
[23:42]<SpiritOfFate>	The furnace seems to be inside the shack, though the chubby mare herself doesn't seem too sure of what is supposed to be done. There is someone inside the shack, though.
[23:43]*	Whisky_Heart starts up the furnace, lighting the fual and giving the bellows a few pumps to get the fire and the pot hot!
[23:44]*	Sotho picks up some scrap and watches Whisky_Heart work the furnace
[23:46]*	Ignis looks over at the bunch of slaves trying to work the furnace, chuckling slightly. "Might not be the best idea to fiddle with that..." As he examines the group, his eyes caught up the chubby mare, to which he immediatelly supresses his smirk and bows respectfully. "Miss' Knack...what brings ya to my humble abode?"
[23:46]*	Whisky_Heart loads scrap into the pot to start melting, as soon as knick knack and her guards bugger off he cna make something fun...
[23:47]*	Royal_Lace turns and looks for the sorce of the voice from the shack.
[23:48]*	Sotho keeps loading scrap and putting it in when he can, the heat making him sweat a bit
[23:48]*	Firefly brings her first load of scrap metal into the shack, and her eyes go wide as she looks at the dragon. "Are you a..."
[23:49]*	Wintergreen drops her scrap metal at the base of the furnace, looking up towards Ignis.
[23:49]*	Whisky_Heart starts to chuckle as he feeds the flames "needs more heat!" he proclaims!
[23:51]*	Sotho chuckles as he sees Whisky_Heart feed the fire. "Careful friend, you might attract a few uneeded spirits."
[23:51]*	Ignis is a medium-sized, grey scaled, black spined dragon. He is currently on a corner of the shack, chained...a nonexplosive chain collar hindering his movements. He is looking up to Knack, hopefully.
[23:52]*	Royal_Lace drops her small chunk of metal as her mouth falls open, the object thankfully missing her hoof as she backs away, eyes opening wide as dishes. "Wha-Wha-What is THAT!?!"
[23:53]*	Whisky_Heart "bah! it is an earth pony's right to be enthusiastic about his work you know! Firefly come help with ze bellows... oh it seems we have a dragon about!" finaly notices Ignis
[23:53]*	Sotho looks over and spots the dragon, smiling
[23:53]<SpiritOfFate>	"Ah, yes. The dragon. I forgot about it." She says with a mild disgust. "I wanted to do... the thing they do here." She looks over to the wrecked carts. "...maybe I can make you fix one?"
[23:55]*	Royal_Lace looks about at the ponies around her. Why was nopony reacting to this monster?
[23:55]*	Ignis raises up and sits on his corner, smiling off to the rest of the slaves and their varying degree of reactions. "Pleasure, yep...I am a dragon, you never met one before, and I have better things to eat." He nods. "I get that a lot."
[23:55]*	Royal_Lace desperately looks from face to face for somepony who realized the danger they were possibly in
[23:55]*	Firefly sets down the scrap in the pile where Wintergreen dumped hers, and starts to attempt to work the bellows. She isn't very big, so she hops on the bellow to make it whoosh out air, and then hops off and pushes to fill it back up. She keeps looking over at the dragon furtively, trying to conceal her child-like amazement.
[23:56]*	Sotho shrugs and gets back to work, working up a good sweat
[23:57]*	Royal_Lace mouth gapes open and shut as she points at the dragon, her eyes still looking for ANYpony who seemed to be leaping into action!
[23:57]*	Wintergreen starts to haul back some more metal scrap, though she is getting very tired, as she is not too strong...
[23:58]*	Whisky_Heart "oi dragon think you can help get this heated up faster!"
[23:58]<Sotho>	"Calm Miss Lace, he will not." Sotho shivers as he feels his body turn cold for a moment, he shakes it off, finishing his sentence." He will not harm us."
[23:59]*	Royal_Lace looks to the zebra, "Bu-But, Its a MONSTER!"
[23:59]*	Ignis lifts off from his seat, shaking his chains slightly. He trots off towards the group, smiling more and more. "Just a sec..." He gently flings his tail under Royal_Lace's mouth, pushing her jaw upwards to close it. As he leaves the numbfounded mare, he moves towards the furnace
[23:59]*	Royal_Lace rears back and screams as she falls onto her back and attempts to scurry away
[23:00]*	Firefly continues to work the bellows as best as a little filly can, hopping up onto them to squeeze out air, and pushing them apart to fill them with air again.
[23:00]*	Ignis only chuckles and softly blows some flames onto the furnace, taking it slow not to overdo it, filling it with sapphire-colored flames.
[23:01]*	Sotho sighs. "Calm Royal! Be Calm! If he wanted to hurt us he would have already done it." He says to her.
[23:02]*	Royal_Lace stops scurrying away but remains on her back, breathing heavily as she tries to calm down. "What... Is... It?"
[23:02]*	Whisky_Heart grabbing one of the furnace masks [assming here!] to protect her face he gets to work on this pot of soon to be molten scrap, he heads over and starts to take some measurements of the wrecked carts, "time for some fun i think!" she chuckles
[23:04]<Sotho>	"A dragon."
[23:04]*	Firefly looks over to the pretty panicking pony, hopping off the bellows and walking over. "Its a dragon...I think. Though, my parent's stories said they were supposed to have wings and be tall as mountains." Firefly shrugs before waving at the little dragon. "Hi! I'm Firefly!"
[23:04]*	Ignis nods at the temperature. "That should do for now...and I'm not an IT, miss. Name is Ignis, please."
[23:05]<Sotho>	He looks to Ignis. "I apologize for my friends overreaction, I am Sotho Mister Ignis." He bows
[23:05]*	Ignis turns around and looks down at the filly, smirking. "Glad to meet you, Firefly."
[23:05]*	Wintergreen drops some more scrap by the furnace, and seeing everyone else around the dragon, she joins the other ponies!
[23:05]*	Royal_Lace continues to breath heavily as she slowly stands on shaking legs, "D-Dragon? I have never heard of such a thing, is that some sort of mutation? His t-t-teeth... hes so scary"
[23:05]<SpiritOfFate>	There is a cart that is not too bad off. There's a bent side, and some pieces are not very well stuck together, but it can be fixed
[23:05]*	Ignis waves to Sotho and frowns slightly at Royal_Lace, shaking his head slightly.
[23:06]*	Wintergreen moves closer to Ignis, but waits to introduce herself as to not overload him with introductions.
[23:06]*	Whisky_Heart waves over to the dragon Ignis "yes yes a dragon, but look at these wagons! some of them are only slightly destroyed! yes yes many of these parts look pretty good... and you all just dont appreciate some fine metal work and are distracted by the dragon aren’t you?”
[23:06]*	Royal_Lace wearily watches the draongs every move as she trys to calm down.
[23:06]*	Firefly gives a cheerful smile at the dragon. "Its nice to meet you Mr. Ignis Dragon. I got to go get scrap now, bye!" She trots off, humming a cheerful tune while collecting new scrap.
[23:07]*	Ignis waves his goodbyes. "I'd be glad to help...but I'm a bit held up here."
[23:07]*	Sotho turns away to move to Royal_Lace. "I would suggest you not act so sudden to things that seem threatening to you."
[23:09]*	Royal_Lace Is nearly calmed down, "I-Im sorry but I just havenet ever... Mr. Ignis I am so sorry, please forgive my ingnorance. I have not had the exposer most ponies here have, sights such as yourself are still quite new to me". Thinking for a moment Lace makes sure her dress is still draped on her back after the fall.
[23:10]<SpiritOfFate>	Royal_Lace can see that while Ignis' bindings seem to be quite strong, the lock is not so out of ordinary.
[23:10]*	Ignis nods. "Its okay, I'm used to that..." He gives a wide look at the group, before his eyes land on Wintergreen. "And who are you, miss?"
[23:10]*	Sotho nods as he goes back to work, smiling as he saw that she had apologized
[23:11]*	Wintergreen smiles to Ignis."Wintergreen. It's nice to meet you, Ignis."
[23:12]*	Firefly carries back in another load of scrap, depositing it in the pile while humming her little tune. She skips out of the shack, happy to be helping.
[23:13]<Whisky_Heart>	 /me gets fully engrossed in his work and starts to ‘fix’ the wagon, will be very distracted from the rest of… whatever is going on behind him, “hmmm yes and if I fix a wedge here it could slice right under another wagon and send it flying into the air! Muhahahahaa!”
[23:13]*	Ignis smiles back to her. "Pleasure is mine...I am glad to have visitors..." He sighs slightly. "They set me apart from the rest of the slaves, understandable...I get the scrapyard to be my little particular hoard in my head, but...gets boring often."
[23:13]*	Royal_Lace stands and brushes herself off as she notes the lock, "And I am Royal Lace, now if you will pardon me I must go compose myself sir". With that Lace trots off with a thoughtfull look on her face
[23:14]*	Ignis sits down again, his claws immediately itching a spot on his claw.
[23:16]*	Wintergreen gives Ignis a sympathetic, sad smile. She looks him over for a second, trying to tell if he is trustworthy before whispering to the dragon, "Well... we may not be here for long."
[23:17]*	Ignis "Ponies always say that..." He whispers back. "And yet...things aren't one-sided as that."
[23:17]*	Royal_Lace checks to make sure all her belongings in place. nervis she dropped something
[23:18]*	Wintergreen shrugs. "We'll see. And if it all works out, maybe we'll have a chance to bring you along."
[23:19]*	Ignis "I'd like that." He smirks, then he lifts off and "trots" back to check on the furnace, he does so awkwardly, limping slightly.
[23:19]<SpiritOfFate>	Sotho notices one of the exaust chutes of the furnace gives them a clear view to the fields beyond the wall, though it's a bit too small even for Firefly. Wintergreen glances at something sticking out of Ignis' tail.
[23:21]*	Sotho notices the exhaust chutes sight. He moves to Wintergreen and whispers. "The shoots bring us a way out, but they are too small for firefly and anypony else to go."
[23:21]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare snaps out of her daydreaming and goes to the gate, calling one of the griffons to talk to.
[23:21]<Royal_Lace>	Happy that she is not missing anything Lace grabs another bit of metal and begins to drag it back to the shack.
[23:22]*	Wintergreen nods to Sotho before she trots up to Ignis, glancing at his tail. She whispers again. "Hey... what's in your tail? ...And why are you limping?"
[23:22]*	Firefly continues to retrieve scrap and bring it to the forget. Chasing Sky Pirates, yay!
[23:23]*	Ignis as the mare trots off from earshot, he just chuckles. "If all that fat went to make soap, we'd be able to clean all the slaves for a week." As he hears Wintergreen, he keeps his tail flat for her to check. "I guess something sharp got caught on it, I didn't fiddled much, don't know much 'bout wound care."
[23:25]*	Wintergreen looks over the tail again, trying to figure out if she would be able to remedy Ignis' limp.
[23:25]<SpiritOfFate>	Royal_Lace realizes some of these metal parts could be quite reflective, if only they were clear of grime and rust.
[23:27]<SpiritOfFate>	Wintergreen realizes there is a nail on his tail. If she took it out, it would help to stop the limping. A small wound would still remain, but he would walk better again and it would heal in no time
[23:28]*	Whisky_Heart cackles madly at the forge as he starts to hammer ht metal!
[23:28]<Whisky_Heart>	hot*
[23:28]*	Royal_Lace carries the bit of metal back to the pile near the shack, spitting it out she thinks over the bad taste as she stares at it for a bit before realizing something.
[23:28]*	Wintergreen smiles to herself. "Just hold still Ignis, this will only hurt for a moment." Wintergreen waits until Ignis is ready before pulling the nail out.
[23:29]*	Royal_Lace looking baout Royal Lace trots quickly back to the pile and searches for the smallest, shiniest peice of scrap metal she could find.
[23:29]*	Ignis chuckles. "I'm a big boy, I can handle pain."
[23:29]*	Firefly continues to bring in the scrap metal for the crazy earth pony.
[23:30]*	Wintergreen smirks and quickly pulls the nail out of Ignis' tail.
[23:30]<SpiritOfFate>	The shiniest smoothest piece she can find is still not quite good enough.
[23:31]*	Ignis bites his lips slightly as she does so, though he was relieved to be free of that thing. "Thanks, feels a lot better." He says as he pets the tail. He looks at the nail. "Say, that might be useful...why don'tcha keep it?"
[23:31]*	Sotho stops for a bit, whiping off his sweat and looking around
[23:32]*	Royal_Lace seeing potential takes the metal and hides it in the folds of her dress before going back to work
[23:32]*	Wintergreen looks at the nail and shrugs. "Sure, thanks." She tries to tie it in her tail and hide the nail.
[23:34]*	Firefly drops off another load of scrap metal before she realizes that she is running out of places to drop scrap metal in the shed. "Uh, Miss Green? Where do I put more scrap?"
[23:34]*	Wintergreen looks to Firefly. "Just outside of the shed, I suppose."
[23:35]*	Firefly nods, covered from hoof to head in grime, soot, dirt, and other nasty things. In essence, she's what every child dreams of being: Filthy. "Okay!" She trots out of shed, continuing to hum her tune.
[23:36]*	Ignis piles up the loads of scrap into a pile to the size...he was really meticulous, treating the junk as if it was treasure, cataloguing and picking out pieces, he examinated each of them, marveling at each one, its small differences and defects.
[23:39]*	Royal_Lace continues to work as much as she was able to, each load smaller and smaller with each trip as she became more and more tired.
[23:40]*	Firefly brings smaller pieces of scrap with her, but uses the time getting scrap working on her exercises. She does her best to keep the scrap balanced on her back, flexing her wings in the restraints.
[23:40]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare approaches the group again. "Is my cart fixed already?"
[23:41]*	Sotho looks around and starts trotting around the scrap pile, searching
[23:41]*	Whisky_Heart "hah! fixed?! no is going to be far better then ever!" he chackles from the forge
[23:42]<SpiritOfFate>	There is quite a bit of spare scrap metal after the parts are done.
[23:42]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare smiles to Whisky_Heart. "Good!"
[23:43]*	Firefly brings over another piece of scrap metal, looking up at the big earth pony working the forge. "Can I help fix stuff?"
[23:44]*	Royal_Lace tires to work silently as not to give any guards reason to search her.
[23:44]*	Ignis sits off to a corner...he couldn't really fix stuff, so...
[23:45]*	Wintergreen is left with nothing to do, seeing as there was no need for more scrap metal.
[23:47]<SpiritOfFate>	The mare blinks as Whisky_Heart starts to add extra parts to the cart. "Uh... what are you doing?"
[23:47]*	Whisky_Heart "making this thing far more.... better!"
[23:48]*	Whisky_Heart is attaching what looks like wings of steel to the sides of the wagon
[23:48]*	Sotho moves to Royal_Lace and talks to her. whispering. "I see a shaft that shows us the outside, but none can fit through it.
[23:49]*	Royal_Lace looks to him as she takes a break from selecting another peice of junk. "Really? Where is it?"
[23:50]<Sotho>	"Down the shoots." He points
[23:55]*	Royal_Lace follows Sotho's hoof and crains her neck in an attempt to see the hole. "I see... that is very interesting, and you say you can see the outside through it? How far would you guess is it?"
[23:55]<Sotho>	"I do not know, I could see the fields however."
[23:56]<SpiritOfFate>	Blinks at Whisky_Heart, but seems to be fine with it. "Right! Keep at it, slave."
[23:56]*	Royal_Lace pouts, "Well if its not to far I might be able to get ponies through... could you show me?"
[23:57]*	Sotho nods, moving slowly and incospiculously, to show Royal_Lace the place
[23:58]*	Firefly does her best to pass parts as Whisky_Heart needs them. She has no idea what purpose they serve, but she's a helper!
[23:58]<SpiritOfFate>	You can see a grassy field in that direction, but not much else.
[23:59]*	Royal_Lace follows closely behind sotho
[00:00]*	Royal_Lace tries to judge if she has ever or even theoretically could teleport that far
[00:01]<SpiritOfFate>	Royal_Lace could teleport that far. From a certain angle she can see a piece of the ground not too far from them
[00:05]*	Royal_Lace nods with a grin, "Yes, It wouldnt be easy but I could definately get ponies out this way. Quietly at that!"
[00:06]*	Sotho nods happily. "Good."
[00:08]*	Royal_Lace looks back to the shed, "I think they are busy for now, So im going to get a bite in before going back to the house. No telling how much they will have for us back at that filthy trough".
[00:09]*	Firefly finishes handing off parts to Whisky_Heart before heading back over to Wintergreen. The filthy filly sits next to the foalsitter, unsure what to do now.
[00:10]*	Wintergreen chuckles, looking at Firefly. "Jeeze. We need to find you a bath or something to get that grime off."
[00:10]*	Sotho nods. "May I come with you?"
[00:10]<SpiritOfFate>	The dusk is approaching soon. The chubby mare herself looks back at the locked gate of the junkyard before taking a last look on the cart's situation.
[00:11]*	Firefly giggles up at Wintergreen. "But how can I become Batmare if I'm clean?"
[00:11]*	Royal_Lace smiles, "Of course Sotho, I think I spoted a good batch over this way while I was collecting rubbish". Lace begins to wonder towards a nice looking batch of grass.
[00:11]*	Wintergreen rolls her eyes. "Even super-fillies take baths."
[00:11]*	Sotho smiles and follows, happily troting. "I do hope everything goes well."
[00:12]*	Ignis fiddles with his fingers as he examines the spiked cart. "Whatcha gonna do with that sick ride? Go hunt hellhounds or something?" He chuckles.
[00:12]*	Royal_Lace nods as she bends and begins to graze. "For the first time in a while I think it might, we have managed to gather quite an impressive amount of resorces in such a small about of time. Its really impressive when you think about it, lucky even".
[00:12]*	Wintergreen shakes her head. "Anyway Firefly... It's getting close to night, and they may have filled the trough back up. Let's get back to the Slave house."
[00:13]*	Firefly sticks her tongue out at the foalsitter, the small bit of pink a bright flag against black and grimy filly. She nods in agreement at the idea of food. "Ok!"
[00:14]*	Sotho nods, a bit worried as he grazes. "I only worry for what the spirits have planned for us."
[00:15]*	Wintergreen stops at the locked gate. "Oops."
[00:16]<SpiritOfFate>	The chubby mare looks closely at Whisky_Heart's finished work. "It's a bit ugly, but it will do." She looks around a bit confused. "Now... ah, yes, gather them up. Slaves!"
[00:17]*	Sotho straightens his head as he trots back to Knick Knack
[00:17]*	Firefly walks over to the chubby mare, sitting next to Wintergreen before giving a great big yawn.
[00:18]*	Royal_Lace sighs as she follows the nice zebra
[00:19]<Sotho>	"What's wrong?" He asks, looking back at Royal_Lace
[00:20]<SpiritOfFate>	The mare calls a griffon, that promptly unlocks the gate. "Follow me!"
[00:20]<Ignis>	"Oh, how I wish I could..." He mumbles.
[00:20]*	Wintergreen follows tubby, making sure Firefly sticks close.
[00:21]*	Firefly follows the mare with Wintergreen. The filly yawns every few minutes; apparently the work earlier was really exhausting.
[00:22]*	Royal_Lace whispers to Sotho, "I was hoping to find more grass, the goop back at the house is so tasteless.... and the pickings around the house are not the best"
[00:22]<Sotho>	"I can still find something to cook up." He whispers
[00:22]<SpiritOfFate>	The griffon checks on every slave before letting them pass. "Tools. Give them all back."
[00:23]*	Wintergreen has no tools, so she passes the griffon by.
[00:24]*	Royal_Lace smiles to the zebra, "That would be nice". Frowning at the security check Lace passes by silently, praying that they do not inspect her closely
[00:24]*	Firefly looks up the griffon before looking at herself. She's hardly a remnant of the filly she was when she left, but doesn't have any tools on her, so she passes by without complaint.
[00:24]*	SpiritOfFate retrieves Whisky_Heart's tools, and lets Royal_Lace pass with her clothes.
[00:24]*	Sotho doesn't actually have anything as he trot up to the secruity check
[00:24]<SpiritOfFate>	The guard^
[00:25]*	Ignis As he heart the loud gate clanking closed, the dragon sets off to examine the large portion of scrap that the slaves offloaded on his shack, showering on it and smiling profusely. He looks around the phat lewt for anything unusual.
[00:25]<Ignis>	*heard
[00:26]*	Royal_Lace would whipe her brown of sweat and breath a sigh of relife is she didnt think it would give her away. Instead she simply keeps troting along.
[00:26]<Sotho>	"And." He whispers to Royal_Lace. "When we get out, I'll have much much more to work with."
[00:27]<SpiritOfFate>	Among the scrap metal there are 3 spark batteries. The small jenny passes by the group, going into the landfill carrying buckets of food and water.
[00:27]*	Royal_Lace nods, "Now that is something I quite look forward to. Oh wouldnt a nice garden be lovely? with all sorts of spices and fragrant flowers?"
[00:28]<Sotho>	"Indeed it work, but that would be rather hard to pull off." He whips sweat off him, still looking rather masculine
[00:29]<SpiritOfFate>	*into the scrapyard
[00:29]*	Firefly looks up at the sight of the jenny carrying food and water. Her ears perk up as she looks at Wintergreen. "See, I told you she had food!"
[00:29]*	Ignis smirks and takes the batteries, plus some scrap (five stacks), he digs a hole on the dirt floor by his "bed", his stash...where he had stored that gem from earlier. The dragon stores his trove into there and covers it neatly for now, leaving the rest of the scrap metal laying around.
[00:30]*	Wintergreen shrugs. "I'm sure it's for somepony else, though."
[00:30]<SpiritOfFate>	The jenny trots into Ignis' shack, filling his own troughs
[00:31]*	Royal_Lace trots on towards the slave house
[00:31]*	Ignis is a bit startled...the dragon calms down as he sees her. "Oh..its you."
[00:31]<SpiritOfFate>	The jenny nods nervously.
[00:32]*	Wintergreen heads towards the slave house.
[00:32]*	Firefly continues onward toward the food and water trough. She's tired, but her stomach's being noisy again.
[00:32]*	Sotho heads towards the slave house as well
[00:32]*	Ignis smiles to her. "I...liked it." The dragon sits and gazes towards the ceiling, dreamly. "So much that I couldn't bear to eat it...it was just too nice."
[00:32]<SpiritOfFate>	The group makes their way back the same road. The chubby mare orders them to go back and goes to her home, tired of ordering them around all day.
[00:33]*	Royal_Lace moves to eat what she can and drink, best to keep her strength up! what little she had that is.
[00:33]<SpiritOfFate>	She smiles a little. "...I'm glad. Staying locked here all day, it must be horrible..."
[00:34]<SpiritOfFate>	The jenny
[00:34]*	Wintergreen tries to fill up on food, if more was available.
[00:34]*	Firefly does her best to eat fully and drink fully before she returns to the slave house and falls asleep.
[00:35]*	Sotho eats and drinks as well, tired himself
[00:35]<SpiritOfFate>	When you arrive there isn't much left to eat and drink.
[00:35]<SpiritOfFate>	To eat, at least
[00:36]*	Ignis nods. "Perhaps, but still a tad better than some things..." the dragon chuckles playfully as his claws search his food once more. "One has to find ways to keep himself busy, you know...by the way, I never got your name, miss."
[00:42]*	Royal_Lace uses what little time she has before bed to see if she can pollish off the scrap metal with water and the rag she found earlier in the slave house.
[00:42]*	Sotho decides to go to bed anywyas
[00:44]*	Wintergreen heads to the slave house for some sleep.
[00:47]<SpiritOfFate>	"My name is Hearty Broth" The jenny answers Ignis
[00:47]*	Firefly eats what she can from the trough before she wanders back to the slavehouse. On the way, she finds a couple mouthfulls of grass left by somepony. Oooh, maybe Liberty Dream left her a gift? Her stomach still growling, she eats the grass before she heads back to the slave house, falling asleep upon arrival.
[00:49]*	Ignis smiles to her as he finishes poking around his meal, taking portions and eating up. "Nice to...know you, miss Broth. I'm Ignis." He voices as he noms on his meal. "You only feed us or you cook as well?"
[00:54]<SpiritOfFate>	"I cook a little, but it isn't very good... I pretty much can only use garbage from the owner's meals and some other they get out there...
[00:54]<SpiritOfFate>	With one hour of constant effort, Royal_Lace manages to polish the metal tobe reflective again.
[00:55]*	Royal_Lace is able to smiles as she lays her head down that night onto her new dress, her bit of polished metal hidden inside.
[00:58]*	Ignis nods. "Its good enough for me, living on the wastes and not knowing where your next meal will come from taught me not to be picky."
[01:00]<SpiritOfFate>	The jenny nods back, seeming to take some relief from these words. "...I have to go now."
[01:01]*	Ignis smirks at the jenny. "Sure, don't let me hold ya. Take care."
[01:02]*	SpiritOfFate smiles a bit before bowing and  heading out.
[01:02]<SpiritOfFate>	The jenny^
[01:02]*	Sotho is happily asleep
[01:03]*	Royal_Lace has quit (Quit: Page closed)
[01:04]*	Ignis isn't really tired, he paces around his shack, then goes outside to get some of the evening breeze...he checks how far his chains stretch.
[01:05]<SpiritOfFate>	It gets as far as one of the closest piles of scrap, to the other side of a wrecked carriage
[01:06]*	Ignis salvages the pile, not looking for anything in particular, just checking on his available resources.
[01:06]*	Ignis apart from scrap metal
[01:08]*	Sotho has quit (Connection closed)
[01:08]*	Whisky_Heart has quit (Quit: IceChat - Its what Cool People use)
[01:09]*	Firefly is now known as Viewing_Glass

[01:10]*	Wintergreen has quit (Quit: Page closed)
[01:10]*	Ignis has quit (Connection closed)
[01:12]<SpiritOfFate>	Ignis takes his time looking into the the pile as the night grows darker.
