Session 34

<uSeaGM> **Start of Session 34 for Group 4**

<uSeaGM> When we last left our group they were in the town of New Hope just finishing up trade negotiations with the merchant Capsworth.

<uSeaGM> Capsworth pushes over the party's purchases and drags the heap of barding and guns they sold towards himself. "Pleasure doing business with you."

* AtomBell watches the proceedings with mild interest.  The trading itself didn't interest the pegasus so much as the results did.

* Spectre is busy stowing away newly aquired gear in her backs and admiring her damn nice new cloak "Yea. pleasure. Mhmm."

<AtomBell> "Quite~" Atom adds as she admires the way Silent Spectre's cloak covers her flanks.

* Spectre looks up as AtomBell speaks up and blinks at the mare "Wat."

* Spectre wiggles "You like?"

<uSeaGM> Outside a small group of foals is running around and laughing as they play with one of the little red dome-shaped robots. The foals have drawn block spots on its back with felt-tip pen making it look like a ladybug. It scuttles between the foals chasing a red rubber ball, nudging it back to one of the ponies when it catches its prize.

* Artifica is now known as Little_GLoom

* Kkat is now known as Artifica

<AtomBell> "Why aye~" she smiles

* Spectre grins

* AtomBell notices the foals playing as she scoots up to feel the cloak's material, "Looks leek somepony's foond a canny use fo' this wee metal critters."

* Spectre looks over "It is a bit odd though. They haven't really done much else but try to paint everything. that actually seems to be interacting with the foals." She shrugs

<uSeaGM> Looking around, the group spots several notices around the place that basicly say: LFG

<AtomBell> "Aye.  Odd."

* AtomBell curses her clunky armored legs... stupid protecting her body, it was protecting her from cloak rubbing as she gently guided Spectre towards some of the notices.

* Spectre follows AtomBell because follow the pretty pony.

<AtomBell> "Next stop mansion?" she asks the group at large

* Watch_Tower was watching the foals from atop a box. a small stack of the fliers sitting on the box next to him. He might stick out a little because of his armor. He looks kind of like one of the nightguard ponies...except well without the batwings and a dinstinctly bored look on his muzzle.

* AtomBell takes a second look at the robot, "It isn't paintin owt... are yee sure that isn't a real ladybug dear?

* Spectre blinks "Huh. That's a big friggen ladybug." She looks past the foals and spots an odd looking stallion, pointing him out to AtomBell "Lookit that one. Don't see armor like that every day."

* Watch_Tower yawned and looked about noticing a pony looking at him. He stared back for a moment before yawning and turning to face the group without standing up.

<Spectre> "Ahhh shit he noticed me. I'm a terrible hidey pony."

* Spectre pouts

<Watch_Tower> "Well you know when you're saying oh lookie there he's a weird one. It's kind of hard not to. I'm pretty much one of the weirdest ponies about."

* AtomBell tries not to stare, remembering all the strange looks she's gotten over the years.  Atom sighs, "He's probably used tuh it lookin leek that."

* Spectre shrugs "I'm apparently good at noticing weird things."

<Watch_Tower> "It's kind of a pain in the ass really. A jokester wonderglue the stuff on...and I've been here a week or so trying to work up to guff to pull it off....Also got to find the prick and get my coat back...,but I don't see that happening."

* Spectre notices the stack of fliers by the pony then looks around at the fliers plastering pretty much every free surface "Is that why you're looking for a group of ponies?"

* AtomBell smiles at Watch_Tower, "Soz mistor, wuh divvint mean tuh intrude."

<Watch_Tower> "Well it's not exactly safe to travel around alone and my old group ain't comin back. And I figure while here maybe delve into Old town and see what I can find, but I ain't tangling with that many feral ghouls alone."

* AtomBell frowns, "Ha horrid!"

* Spectre nips Atom's cheek "Speak for yourself. Intruding is one of my favorite activities." She turns back to Watch_Tower and shrugs "Fair enough."

* AtomBell falls silent.  She clearly doesn't want to talk about the subject of ghouls, the old town, and dead friends.

* AtomBell blushes

<Watch_Tower> ",but truthfully ANYthing would be off better then sitting around here."

<Watch_Tower> "...well not quite anything, but youknow what I mean right?"

* Spectre nods "Why not come with us, then. Could always use a extra set of hooves."

* Artifica smiles, watching the foals

* AtomBell watches foals too!  So cute with their frolicking and their giant mutant ladybug!

<Watch_Tower> "Sounds good to me. I'm good with explosives, a decent shot with my battlesaddle, but my real talent is as a lookout."

<Watch_Tower> "Well and I can make a pretty decent Shield. It's no Alicorn shield, but it gets the job done."

* Watch_Tower hopped off the box and offered a hoof. "The name is Watch Tower."

* mimezinga ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP

* ChanServ gives channel operator status to mimezinga

* mimezinga is now known as Berry

* Spectre shrugs and shakes his hoof "Spectre." She bops the top of AtomBell's head with her chin "And the pretty mare with the accent so thick you could serve it as food and end starvation in the wasteland is my marefriend Atom Bell."

* AtomBell waves

<Watch_Tower> "Nice to meet you both."

* Spectre points at a zebra who's wandered off to browse the wares of the marketplace "The zebra over yonder is Milia," She points out the daydreaming Artifica "The big mare there with the battlesaddle daydreaming while she watches the foals play is Artifica..."

* Spectre looks around "And I have no idea where Berry's gotten off to."

<Watch_Tower> "So Arti,  Atom, Berry, Milia, and Spec."

* Watch_Tower smiled. "Sounds like a friendly enough bunch."

<AtomBell> "Cerberus."

* Watch_Tower laughed. "and theres a name to run away from really fast."

<Spectre> "Friendly enough until the bullets starting flying."

* Artifica offers to play catch with Cerberus, not paying much attention to the armored pony.

* Berry uncurls from atom's head, revealing as the real identity of the fur hat the pegasus was wearng!

* Berry yawns and takes a look around "uh... what's going on?"

<Spectre> "And there's the filly herself."

<Artifica> At her name, she perks up.  "huh?"

* Spectre points at Berry "That's Cerberus."

<AtomBell> "Aye," Atom confirms

* Spectre looks at Artifica "I've got a minion now, is what, Arty."

* Watch_Tower recoiled back a little in surprise. "woah not one of the furry hats...hello...I take i...you're Cerebrus?...adorable little fuzz ball."

* Watch_Tower looked to Spectre. "so how well does minion work pay?"

<AtomBell> "It don't."

* Berry tilts her head and frowns "hey, i'm not adorable!| i'm a mighty warrior and every slaver's worst nightmare!"

* Berry "but yes, i'm cerberus, everyone else calls me berry, but i find that silly..."

<Spectre> "Pays dibs on equipment we find and supplies. Standard scavenging pay."

<Watch_Tower> "Alrightly I'ma call ya Cereby then."

* Spectre pokes Berry's side with her muzzle "It's a term of endearment, Berry. it's because we like you."

<Watch_Tower> "Sounds like good pay to me."

* Berry adds "you get a part of the stuff, that is" starts giggling when poked "hey, stop it!"

<Watch_Tower> "also nothing says you can't be an adorable Might warrior that strikes terror into the hearts of slavers everywhere."

* Artifica cocks her head.  "a minion?"

* Berry nodnods at Watch_Tower "yeah, there was this time when i disintegrated a unicorn's horn in one shot"

* Spectre nods "A minion."

* Watch_Tower whistled. "Nice shot. I'm not so good with that myself. Hence the whole." He nodded to his battle saddle with a Grenade rifle. "Explosives thing."

* Artifica looks over Watch_Tower, eyes widening a little.  "What breed of pony are you?"

* Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Eating[A]

<Watch_Tower> "I'm a unicorn...wearing some of that fancy Night Bat pony armor..."

<Watch_Tower> "Long story short don't go drinking with one of them."

<Watch_Tower> "at least I didn't grow bat wings and a thirst for blood."

* Berry "ah, the vampony bitt you and now you are a vampony too?"

* Artifica looks confused.

* Watch_Tower did his best Dracula impression. "Yus, I vant to suck yer Blood Blah"

* Spectre rolls her eyes

<Watch_Tower> "Seriously though...it came up while we were drinking what a non pegasus would look like in the stuff...and I don't quite remember what happened next, but I awoke saddlesore wearing the stuff and no idea where my caravan went."

* Artifica has never heard of Canterlot armors or their effects, and thus has no idea why Watch_Tower's armor would answer her question.

* Artifica blinks, "I'm not talking about your armor.  What... are you a pony?"

<Watch_Tower> "No I'm a vegetarian vampire."

* Watch_Tower said with only slight sarcasm.

* Berry smiles, but sweats a little, then whispers to AtomBell "he's nott going to drink my blood for real, right?"

* Watch_Tower smiled. "Yeah I'm a pony. The armor is spelled or something to make me look like this. I'm actually kinda a stoney grey unicorn...kinda large...well I don't suppose the armor made me look smaller."

* Artifica nods.  "Okay.  You'll have to turn to AtomBell for medical help, then.  I don't think my healing spell will work on you."

* Artifica adds, "Or, at least, I have no idea what side effects it could have."

<Watch_Tower> "Well...it might help when ever I try removing it...the joker wonderglued it onto my back...and I am not looking forward to tearing out the fur to remove it."

* Berry decides that she can help and braces her laser rifle don't worry i can disintegrate it!"

<Watch_Tower> "err...I'd rather you not..."

* Watch_Tower waves his hoofs lightly. "you know umm..." He searched for a simple explaination." You know sunlight, laserlight same stuff really and not a lick of good for me."

* Berry puts the weapon away "aaaw..."

* Spectre just watches the exchange

<Watch_Tower> "Anyway nice to meet you all. I hope we can be friends...or at least better friends then my last caravan."

<Spectre> "Well already a point in our favour; We aren't a caravan."

<Watch_Tower> "Already a plus."

* AtomBell whispers back to Cerberus, "No dear, I don't think he will."

<Watch_Tower> "No Brahmin crap to step in."

<AtomBell> "Hev yee treed bathin in solvents?" she asks Watch_Tower

<Watch_Tower> "no I haven't."

<Watch_Tower> "A little pain isn't worth that many caps too me. I'll just tear out the fur if I need to."

* Watch_Tower twitches a bit thinking forward to that.

* Berry jumps down from atom's head and decides to perform her usual recon routine: that is, sniff and lick the new pony

* Watch_Tower tasted of dust, salt, and grape juice.

* Berry "alright, so we can proceed and check the robot sisters?"

* Watch_Tower smelled about the same.

* AtomBell can't wait to meet the robomares!

<Watch_Tower> "Robot...sisters?"

* Berry "ah... we will explain it to you along the way, not here, okay?"

<Watch_Tower> "ooh I've got a spell for private conversations."

* RainbowYoshi is now known as Steve

<Watch_Tower> "So if you're afraid of somepony overhearing they'd have to be able to read our minds...and considering it involves touching the pony with your horn we should be safe."

* Berry shakes her head "nah, we will keeep it for the walk, so it won't be boring"

<Watch_Tower> "Sounds good to me."

<uSeaGM> A small swarm of BugBots scuttle past leaving trails behind themselves. Several ponies with nets are in hot pursuit.

* Berry tries sniffing and licking the paint... has red tongue nao

* Berry "bleh..."

* Artifica watches, distracted again..

<uSeaGM> It's non-toxic, yay!

<Spectre> "Don't lick paint, Sweetie."

<Berry> yay!

<Watch_Tower> "I've been meaning to ask somepony what the heck is with those things?"

* Spectre points at Artifica, Milia, and Berry "They know more than me and Atom."

* AtomBell wings Berry up onto her back and away from potentially toxic things to lick

* Berry "so, can we move now?" is scooped "hey! i don't need a ride... no wait, rides are good... okay"

* Watch_Tower trotted along with the others.

* Spectre grins at Berry and gives her and Atom a nuzzle "If we're done here, let me go drag Milia away from scamming the poor marketplace ponies and lets get going."

<Watch_Tower> "Well I'm up for a good story."

<AtomBell> "Sounds like a plan to me."

<AtomBell> "You don't need a ride, Cerberus, you need a sniper platform."

* Spectre scampers off to go fetch the errant Zebra

* Watch_Tower laughed. "Well if you need somepony big sturdy and not too likely to move. I'm your buck."

* Berry nodnods and starts telling the story as soon as they are out of unwanted ears "alright, we found a couple of pony shaped robots inside a big building, they were built to be sisters and to love each other, it seems..."

<uSeaGM> The town is quiet and empty as you trot through the streets. Occasionally you come across a house covered in red lines or polka dots. Again there seems to be no pattern to which houses are painted and which are left alone.

* Berry "but at some point the smaller robot went boing and stopped working, so the big sister used her own batteries to keer the little one going..."

* Berry "we found the little robot trying to wakee up her big sis and helped them, so that they were happy again.... now, these pests that are coloring the whole city red are from the same place..."

* Berry "so, maybe the robot sisters know what is going on"

* Watch_Tower nodded. "That makes sense."

* nomad is now known as Polaris

* Polaris is now known as nomad

* Berry "well, that's pretty much everything...."

<Watch_Tower> "I wonder what it says I don't even question robo sisters."

* AtomBell is enlightened

* Berry since she has a brush and a lot of time, decides to brush atom's mane while hitching the ride

* No_One ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP

* Berry "the problem is that if someone else decides to find out wwhat is going on they could find out about the sisters and hurt them..."

<Watch_Tower> "Yeah...that is a problem...a lot of ponies would probably want to study them"

* Kashin_GM ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP ("")

* No_One is now known as Hatari

* AtomBell is enlightened /and/ has a neat, orderly mane.  Berry's such a helpful hellfilly

<AtomBell> "Or destroy them."

* Berry "if you add to this the fact thet i've seen self sacrifice in a couple of robots and just a day after i've seen real ponies eating each other... well, you can see why i care more about robots than ponies"

* Watch_Tower nodded. "No arguement from me...I've heard of such things from my home town's sheriff."

<Spectre> "Happiness is a rare thing, even if it is artificial."

<Spectre> "In the literal sense. not fake."

* Berry "very good, i like you...."

* Berry while chatting, the foal keeps an eye for any interesting building along the way

<Watch_Tower> "Well hey my pop raised me. To be respectful of good ponies.Never said they couldn't be robots."

* Berry nodnods "that's good, and don't drink my blood too!"

* AtomBell 's wings stir

* Watch_Tower chuckled. "Vegetarian."

<uSeaGM> Perched on Atom's back, Berry spots one house which looks quite promising.

* Berry uses the lookit ther function of the berrybuck "hey, that house seems untouched... want to give it a try?"

<Watch_Tower> "Err sure"

* Berry okay, first of all, we shuld check that there aren't zombie ponies inside the place.... does someone have a way to scout the place?

<Watch_Tower> "no...I don't know that spell...I could go in and have someone look in through my eyes."

* AtomBell nods, "I can do that too, see if there are any safes or anything."

<Spectre> "No signs of movement on here." she waves her pipbucked hoof around slightly

* Berry "well then, let's see if there is something nice inside... like toys and fluffy stuff"

* Spectre grins and mutters "And maybe more cigarettes."

<Watch_Tower> "Sounds good to me."

<AtomBell> "And perhaps more pistols."

* Spectre snorts "You don't have enoug already, sweetie?"

* Spectre trots over to the door and checks to see if it's locked

* AtomBell sticks out her tongue, following Spec, "Nay."

* Watch_Tower trotted up behind her looking at the door.

<uSeaGM> *Kthunk thunk* The front door is locked (Normal)

* Spectre steps back and bows dramatically "The floor is yours, m'lady."

<Spectre> bows dramatically to AtomBell*

<AtomBell> "Ooh aye!"

* AtomBell wings out her lockpicks while trying not to knock Berry off her back.

* Spectre 's horn lightls up softly as she holds Berry steady with telekinesis

* AtomBell bends down to work the lock

* Artifica cautiously takes the kitchen

* Berry jumps down from the pegasus back, the foal decides to check the bwdrooms

* AtomBell steps away from the door with her tools in her mouth.  She's only marginally less understandable, "Eafy ash pah.  Ah'll sheck zha ba'woom."

<Watch_Tower> /me whistles as he trotted in to search the bedroom.

* Watch_Tower whistles as he trotted in to search the bedroom.

<Spectre> "Alright. I'll just take a look around myself."

<Watch_Tower> "Nice...usually I wound up going through the wall to get through locked doors."

* AtomBell tucks her tools away, winking at Watch_Tower, "Not with me around lad~"

* Spectre apparently doesn't do that.

* Watch_Tower blushed a bit. "Right. Well I'll still be ready to do so...if the need arrises..."

* Spectre apparently does do that.

* Berry "i'll help spectre then!"

<Spectre> "Kaaaay~"

<AtomBell> "Everypony be careful!" she admonishes

* Watch_Tower looked around a bit bored after finding the book cases picked clean and the magazines all burned to ashes. He finds a small safe!

* Watch_Tower considers alerting the others, but it didn't look like a big find so. He considered opening it himself with his magic, but then he remembered one of the nice mares had lockpicks.

<Watch_Tower> "Found a small safe in here."

<AtomBell> "Gi' me a mooment!"

* Spectre finds a hooffull of caps and a bunch of random miscellaneous objects that she pockets for no other reason than 'why not?'.

* AtomBell trots up beside Watch_Tower, looking around, "Safe?"

* Berry helps spectre by not staying in the middle of her hooves, instead she searches for herself

* Watch_Tower pointed at it.

<Watch_Tower> "Don't really expect much in it."

<Watch_Tower> "I'm kinda a bit jynxed sometimes."

* AtomBell shrugs.  It's a Whinniechester, nothing special.  She kneels beside it and spends a few seconds working the tumblers before it pops open, "Done."

* Watch_Tower opened it. "Caps and a .45"

* Watch_Tower floated it out.

* AtomBell returns to the bathroom

* Watch_Tower trotted out with his spoils.

<AtomBell> "Awwww!  I shoulda looked myself...."

<Watch_Tower> "Probably ,but you've still got an entire room to search."

* AtomBell is doing so

* Watch_Tower took a seat in the living room looking at the prewar outfits using a hat to hold the caps, gun, and ammo he found.

* Berry takes a look at the revolver "wow, nice gun... if you are hunting dead leaves" giggles

<Watch_Tower> "Eh it outta sell for a decent number of grenades."

<Watch_Tower> "Never been a big fan of the small guns."

* AtomBell returns with a limited amount of medical supplies, but no drugs.

* Berry ended somehow in the kitchen, maybe looking for noms

<Berry> trots back to the others "i found some noms!"

* Artifica joins the others.  "Nothing in the kitchen, I regret to say.  Although if somepoy would care to give it another pass..."

<Watch_Tower> "I sound 23 caps, a .45 with 14 rounds, and two pre-war outfits."

<AtomBell> "Some bandages and potions.  A couple caps."

* Berry is stashing the food in her bags "if someone is hungry, just ask okay?"

* Artifica takes a quick last look over the place.

<Watch_Tower> "Trade you the funny pre-war outfit for a couple snack cakes."

* Berry "sure!" the foal gives 2 prewar foods to watch tower but doesn't take outfit, since it is too big for her

* Artifica offers up a few caps and some junk to the party fund.  No sense keeping them for herself.  Adding three caps to her purse would give her a total of three.

* Watch_Tower smiled and looking to the outfit and decided to shape it to make it smaller for her before floating it over folding it as it went.

* Artifica teasingly asks, "We don't have any need for smokesticks, do we?"

* Berry while waiting for the others doing theirt searches, the foal sits on the carpet in the living room and plays with her plushie sheep "baah, baah..." the sheep is dragged around the carpet and grazes it

<Watch_Tower> "There you go." Watch opened one of the packages and started eating happily.

* Artifica sits next to Cerberus and watches, smiling.

* Watch_Tower watched the little filly play. He was growing fond of these ponies.

* Berry is very focused on moving the plushie  sheep and making her find a good place to graze, but wait! a terribad rubber duckie is in the middle of the way! "qwack! please rubber duckie let me pass! qwack no! i want... ah... duck food or i won't let you pass! okay, have duck food... qwack! thanks!"

* Berry once the duck is happy, the sheep finds a good place and can finally graze "but wait! the grassis all messy! sheep magic, summon giant brush!" berry takes a brush and starts brushing the carpet "brushie brushie brushie..."
