- [2014-10-25 20:53:50]<SpiritOfFate> Group 0-II: *Freedom's Price* - Session #019 starts now
- [2014-10-25 20:53:56]<SpiritOfFate> =======================================================
- [2014-10-25 21:03:30]<SpiritOfFate> The walk home is long and tense. The militiamen keep their eyes on Swiss_Provolone and Full Physical as they leave the city and disappear down the road. The colt trots close to them, but not too close, keeping his eyes on the barren rocky fields beyond the road. The ground shakes slightly as you pass near to the crater that is the quarry, and some rocks seem to move.
- [2014-10-25 21:05:26]* Swiss_Provolone raises an eyebrow and quickly casts Combat Precognition on himself, looking at the ground, "Did you feel that Full_Physical?"
- [2014-10-25 21:06:56]<Full_Physical> "Yeah, as far as you know, there aren't any deathclaws living in this region, right?"
- [2014-10-25 21:10:17]* Swiss_Provolone furrows his eyebrows, "Doubt it, must be the damn dogs. Look sharp." he says, eyeing the rock carefully
- [2014-10-25 21:12:41]<Full_Physical> "Right. Hell Hounds. Got them mixed up with up with some fantasy creature."
- [2014-10-25 21:15:16]<SpiritOfFate> It doesn't take long until Tamara arrives to the mansion, where the others already await.
- [2014-10-25 21:18:13]* Royal_Lace hums as she levetates the ground quarts dust out from the back of the shelf for her Geo-vore friend and adds it to the trey of tea her husband had prepared. Lifitng it with her magic she trots to the prepared area where ignis waits, absentmindedly blasting any dust and grime that dared to inter her families home away.
- [2014-10-25 21:19:05]<Full_Physical> "Shall we move on?"
- [2014-10-25 21:20:41]* Swiss_Provolone narrows his eyes, "Hold on, something ain't right..."
- [2014-10-25 21:20:57]* Ignis poletely accepts his cup, giving an acknowledging nod as he takes his seat, the dragon contemplates the way that Lace moved to clean even while being...doing other things? He shurgs nonchalantly and gather his thoughts. Bombs, he needed big-ass bombs, ones which would blow apart hounds' carcasses like cardboard...the fucks got it coming to them.
- [2014-10-25 21:20:58]<SpiritOfFate> At first, Swiss_Provolone can't distinguish anything in the rocks, but then a large lump of them moves and he can make out the shape of a cragadile at a long distance. It doesn't seem to be moving towards you so far, you might be able to move past it unharmed.
- [2014-10-25 21:23:56]* Swiss_Provolone nickers, "Just a wild critter. Lets give it a wide berth, rather not have to fight it if we don't need to. Just don't make too much noise." he says to Full_Physical, "An' that goes for you too kid." he adds, pointing to the colt
- [2014-10-25 21:25:31]<SpiritOfFate> "Uh, okay." The colt replies.
- [2014-10-25 21:26:45]<SpiritOfFate> ---
- [2014-10-25 21:26:56]<Full_Physical> "Just a wild critter, that might have been reassuring a couple of centuries ago." Fizz remarks as he walks around the lizard
- [2014-10-25 21:27:30]* Royal_Lace smiles, "Thanks, i do try and keep the house nice and ti-", blinking she looks past Ignis out the window. Turning she trots towards the front door. "Pardon me, Tamara has arrive. Ill just go let her in shall I?". She moves and opens the door for the donkey. "Hello Tamara, thank you for coming"
- [2014-10-25 21:27:48]<SpiritOfFate> After some hours of walking, Full_Physical and Swiss_Provolone are finally back to Freedom's Mound.
- [2014-10-25 21:29:54]* Swiss_Provolone looks back at Full_Physical, "Sorry for gettin' ya in trouble back at Limestack, at least we got out with no harm done." he looks to the colt, "I'll take you to our doc, she should be able to get ya off whatever you're on. Sound good?"
- [2014-10-25 21:30:30]<Full_Physical> "It's no issue, I had fun."
- [2014-10-25 21:30:40]<SpiritOfFate> "Hello, mrs. Lace. I have been looking forward for this tea." She says, though she seems to be more inclined to dutifulness.
- [2014-10-25 21:32:13]* Royal_Lace nods and steps aside to let the mare in, indicating with a hoof to the Den, "Well please step inside, I shall poor you a cup of tea"
- [2014-10-25 21:32:19]<SpiritOfFate> "Yeah, I guess." The colt says. He looks around at the settlement. "Are you sure this place is okay?"
- [2014-10-25 21:33:09]<SpiritOfFate> Tamara trots in, joining Ignis
- [2014-10-25 21:33:22]* Ignis leans back his chair in an almost absentminded manner, peeking out at the donkey... "Yo miss T. How are things back in town?" The dragon asks, taking a few sips from his tea. "Not as troubling as our current affairs, right?"
- [2014-10-25 21:33:31]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Safe place, for the Wasteland. Built by former slaves, so you don't need to worry about somepony trying to sell you like back in Limestack." He points off to the clinic, "Come on, its this way."
- [2014-10-25 21:34:02]<Full_Physical> "Aside from the raider children this place took in, it should be fine."
- [2014-10-25 21:34:31]* Royal_Lace galces around the Junk Yard before closing the door and joining her friends.
- [2014-10-25 21:34:38]* Royal_Lace poors two more cups, taking one for herself
- [2014-10-25 21:36:36]* Swiss_Provolone heads off to the clinic, colt in tow
- [2014-10-25 21:38:41]* Full_Physical follows
- [2014-10-25 21:40:12]<SpiritOfFate> "There is some tension, the dogs are getting more active. We have mudponies and blackfeather patrolling the area around the clock to make sure they don't try anything against our land, but that is slowing down expansion." Tamara reports. "What is happening around here?"
- [2014-10-25 21:41:46]* Royal_Lace lifts a hoof to Ignis as she takes a sip of her tea, "Ignis has found large tunnles purferating the outer yard around the landfill that he belives are the hoof work of Hell hounds. From there size and location I am inclined to agree"
- [2014-10-25 21:43:13]<SpiritOfFate> The colt follows both to the Clinic, where Chroma bandages the hoof of an earth pony.
- [2014-10-25 21:43:21]* Ignis nodnods. "Yeah, I imagine they are attempting to "recruit" laborforce...since...you know, with Silver Anchor's flop and whatnot...the situation at their camp must be getting pretyt dire, what with high mortality work conditions..."
- [2014-10-25 21:44:57]* Swiss_Provolone clears his throat, "Hey Doc, you know how to clear a ponies addiction by any chance?" he asks, stepping inside
- [2014-10-25 21:49:46]<SpiritOfFate> "Underground incursions. That is a problem, it is more difficult to detect them." Tamara thinks. "Looks like they are realizing bad propaganda won't make us submit again."
- [2014-10-25 21:51:18]* Ignis holds his claws over the table and gazes at Tamara. "I already told my stance on this...which is to booby-trap the tunnels."
- [2014-10-25 21:51:29]* Royal_Lace nods, "Especially when they cannot colaborate any evidence against us, at least not effectivly. Most of the area seems on the fence about us so I should think we need to be carful how we handle this". Taking another sip she sets down the cup.
- [2014-10-25 21:55:23]<SpiritOfFate> "Oh hello." Chroma nods to them, still working on the bandages. "Not instantly, at least but I have some therapies that worked well. Firefly's parents have been helping, spreading how the dogs used chems to control ponies. Some got more willing to try and change when they hear, but it still takes their choice to get better."
- [2014-10-25 21:56:51]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Well kid, I can't force ya to make that change, you have to make that choice. Do ya want to?"
- [2014-10-25 21:58:34]<SpiritOfFate> Tamara nods. "A full on war would put us on a bad position. There is still a lot on this land that needs changing, but we are outnumbered and it would risk the lives we finally gave back to the ponies here."
- [2014-10-25 22:00:03]* Royal_Lace nods, "Still we cannot appear weak or those same enemies will jump down our throats"
- [2014-10-25 22:00:43]<SpiritOfFate> Tamara smiles to Ignis. "That said, if they happen to stumble on an old gas reservoir while trying to invade, it's their misfortune."
- [2014-10-25 22:01:52]<SpiritOfFate> "I... don't want to be a slave." The colt fidgets.
- [2014-10-25 22:02:20]* Ignis shrugs. "underground is no ponies' land...what the others don't happen to see, won't quite affect their standings..." The dragon states. "Besides...if anyone points to us, they were trespassing...."
- [2014-10-25 22:03:21]* Royal_Lace smiles, "Oh and we could come out very well in this.... Provide aid to those who manage to crawl out from it. Maybe issue a urdge to be carful digging about the area for there own saftey"
- [2014-10-25 22:03:32]* Royal_Lace takes another sip
- [2014-10-25 22:03:43]<Royal_Lace> "many dangerous things barried around here"
- [2014-10-25 22:03:45]* Swiss_Provolone "An' ya won't, not while you're here at least. The ponies here know from experience that that kind of stuff won't fly."
- [2014-10-25 22:08:12]<SpiritOfFate> Tamara nods to Ignis. "Of course. But the truth of the matter doesn't ever stop them from weaving their stories. They say our claim to the yard, and our very freedoms are illegitimate." She scowls at Royal Lace's idea. "We could instead disappear them, if we catch them in the act. We are not friends, this is just a theater." She taps her hoof on the table. "Where it comes to security, I will look into sending scouts to investigate any signs
- [2014-10-25 22:08:12]<SpiritOfFate> of underground movement."
- [2014-10-25 22:09:05]* Ignis grins. "Of course they don't dare to say it to our faces."
- [2014-10-25 22:10:08]* Royal_Lace stirs her tea, "I see... You know my stance on un-nessiary bloodshed and the preservation of life but I will not argue this. If it is to save all out war then I am tennable to this arangment. Dissapearing it shall be"
- [2014-10-25 22:11:17]<SpiritOfFate> "Too much blood of our own was spilled on their claims for it to hold up." Tamara strokes her mane "Is there any sort of magic to track their movement under us?" She asks Royal_Lace
- [2014-10-25 22:12:08]<Ignis> "Do not say spirits."
- [2014-10-25 22:12:12]* Royal_Lace takes another sip of her tea before taping her hoof to her chin, "Hummm... an interesting thought. Allow me to ponder this for a moment"
- [2014-10-25 22:12:24]<SpiritOfFate> Chroma looks sadly at the colt
- [2014-10-25 22:13:17]<SpiritOfFate> "I can try." The colt looks at Chroma.
- [2014-10-25 22:14:13]* Swiss_Provolone pats the colts head, "I'm sure you'll do fine." he turns to Chroma, "How much do ya charge for it?"
- [2014-10-25 22:16:56]<SpiritOfFate> "We don't charge for it here, but any donations of food and medical supplies are welcome." Chroma smiles. She smiles to the bandaged pony as well. "You are good to go, just avoid putting weight on this leg" She then turns to a cabinet.
- [2014-10-25 22:18:05]<Full_Physical> "So Chroma, have you seen Rag Doll around? I told her I'd repair her bones after we got back."
- [2014-10-25 22:18:25]* Swiss_Provolone levitates over a small pile of Med-X, Dash, Mint-als and Party Time Mint-als, "Will this do?" he asks, making sure the colt doesnt try and take any
- [2014-10-25 22:22:20]* Royal_Lace continues to tap her chin before slowly smiling, "Wait... no i dont know any magic peronaly that would not require time to learn or train other ponies to use but better still I know somepony with the technology to acomplish the same"
- [2014-10-25 22:25:51]<SpiritOfFate> "Oh, that is helpful." Chroma nods. "I'll need to contact Dr. Mooneye too, some of these can't really be used safely for many purposes, but she knows what to do with them."
- [2014-10-25 22:26:59]<SpiritOfFate> "Ragdoll might be at her place. I hear Tamara arranged a place where she could live." Chroma says, passing the directions to the place
- [2014-10-25 22:27:45]<Full_Physical> "All right, great. If she agrees to have the surgery performed now, will you be able to accomodate her here?"
- [2014-10-25 22:27:50]<SpiritOfFate> "What is this about spirits, though?" Tamara asks Ignis
- [2014-10-25 22:30:14]<SpiritOfFate> "I'll prepare a bed for that." She picks up the chems and store them, taking a box of Fixer out. She leans to the colt's height. "What is your name?"
- [2014-10-25 22:30:22]* Ignis grimaces. "Ask Sotho if you wish to be tutored about it..." The dragon tilts his head. "I believe we should just let them be and try to solve things by our own..." He answers, holding his chin by a claw. "Our resident zebra summoned a particularly nasty one and now he is cursed for life...or was...I'm still not sure how that turned out..."
- [2014-10-25 22:30:25]<SpiritOfFate> ^Chroma
- [2014-10-25 22:30:26]* Swiss_Provolone leans down, "Now I gotta talk to my boss 'bout some stuff, but you should be in good hooves with Chroma for now." he says, standing back up, "I'll make sure to check on ya later."
- [2014-10-25 22:31:50]<Full_Physical> "Great, I'll be back later." Full_Physical will leave and follow the direction's to Rag Doll
- [2014-10-25 22:32:09]* Full_Physical will knock on the door upon arrival
- [2014-10-25 22:32:12]* Royal_Lace wave a hoof, "Regardless Nick Nack is currenly in possesion of a rare Pipbuck which should, if my understanding of there function is correct, be able to detect the beasts underground"
- [2014-10-25 22:32:38]<Ignis> "That would mean exposing her to danger, Lace."
- [2014-10-25 22:32:55]* Swiss_Provolone heads off find Royal_Lace
- [2014-10-25 22:34:20]* Royal_Lace sips her tea, "Come you know I wouldnt do such a thing to her, or at least demand it of her. ill ask if she is interested and take every percaution if she is keen to help. if not Ill ask if we could borrow it for a time, i still have the tools to remove it. If she dosent go for either option we will move on to look for diffrent solutions"
- [2014-10-25 22:36:18]* Ignis gave a little nod. "Yeah, that makes sense...plus, your habilities as a scout would make temporary removal a more sensible choice." The dragon gave a long sigh. "I should really send the bots to scout the outlying areas for points of interest...maybe we could uncover more 'bucks and whatnot kind of swag..."
- [2014-10-25 22:37:01]<SpiritOfFate> Soon Swiss_Provolone is at the mansion
- [2014-10-25 22:38:11]* Swiss_Provolone knocks and trots inside, looking for his boss
- [2014-10-25 22:38:25]* Royal_Lace sips her tea, "For that matter you would do well to have them scout the sewer systems as it seems no only the dogs are using it but it is providing a unseen rout for the forests taint to spread
- [2014-10-25 22:38:53]* Royal_Lace looks to teh sounds of hoof steps, "yes, hello? Who is there?"
- [2014-10-25 22:39:28]<SpiritOfFate> Full_Physical finds a repaired small house, with closed curtains and windows.
- [2014-10-25 22:40:13]* Swiss_Provolone waves, "Just me boss, I got back with Full Physical a little bit ago."
- [2014-10-25 22:40:22]* Full_Physical knocks on the front door "Rag Doll? Are you home?"
- [2014-10-25 22:42:07]* Ignis drinks some more of his tea, lest it goes cold... "The fucking forest has been creeping under? What else now, wildlife will roam the sewers and we'll have some stinking, poisonous gardens of equestria? We'll have to bring a machete for every incursion down there? " The dragon shakes his head vigorously. "We need to find the source of the growth, else, every action against it will be remedial."
- [2014-10-25 22:42:29]<SpiritOfFate> Nopony answers for quite some time.
- [2014-10-25 22:44:36]* Royal_Lace nods to Swiss, "I assumed you were back as my husband arrived before you, were you not traveling together", she keeps her own thoughts on how to deal with the floral infection for now
- [2014-10-25 22:44:51]* Full_Physical will try knocking again "Helloooo?"
- [2014-10-25 22:45:20]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "I had some business to deal with, took a bit of time. How have things been holding up here?"
- [2014-10-25 22:46:32]<SpiritOfFate> Full_Physical, sees the curtains moving slightly and Rag Doll peeking from behind them.
- [2014-10-25 22:46:54]* Ignis holds his fingers against one another... "You know...I could always try some vivisection down there, if we could hit some flammable gas, that would be ideal...since I'm impervious to the flame..."
- [2014-10-25 22:47:05]* Full_Physical smiles and waves
- [2014-10-25 22:47:39]* Royal_Lace holds a hoof to indicate Ignis and his comment on vivisections and flame retardence, "Just dealing with this"
- [2014-10-25 22:48:51]* Swiss_Provolone raises an eyebrow, "Is there trouble? Not often you hear someone talk 'bout walking through fire, dragon or not."
- [2014-10-25 22:48:57]* Ignis leans his back on the seat, regarding the duo. "Sup guys, had fun on your little trip?"
- [2014-10-25 22:49:58]<Swiss_Provolone> "It went about as well as could be expected. Got back in one piece, which is what matters."
- [2014-10-25 22:50:08]<SpiritOfFate> Rag Doll scan behind of Full_Physical and closes the curtain again. The door clicks.
- [2014-10-25 22:50:55]<Full_Physical> "Uh, do you want me to come in?"
- [2014-10-25 22:51:42]<SpiritOfFate> Rag Doll peeks discreetly from behind the curtains and nods.
- [2014-10-25 22:53:09]* Royal_Lace has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
- [2014-10-25 22:53:51]* Full_Physical enters the house and locks the door behind him. "Hello, Rag Doll. How have you been settling in?"
- [2014-10-25 22:54:49]* Full_Physical steps away from the door, so locking it doesn't send the wrong message
- [2014-10-25 22:54:50]* DontAskForCookies ([email protected]) has joined
- [2014-10-25 22:57:29]<SpiritOfFate> "It's nice." Rag Doll says. She seems less fidgety than usual in the penumbra of her unlit house.
- [2014-10-25 22:59:08]<Full_Physical> "I'm glad you like it here. Have you thought about what we talked about before I visited Limestack?"
- [2014-10-25 23:06:48]<SpiritOfFate> "Yeah. I did." Rag Doll says, "Does it hurt?"
- [2014-10-25 23:08:06]<Full_Physical> "It will hurt after you wake up, but if everything does right, you'll get better soon, and when you do, you'll hurt a lot less than you do now."
- [2014-10-25 23:10:36]<SpiritOfFate> Rag Doll leans away and doesn't say anything, gauging Full_Physical's words.
- [2014-10-25 23:11:27]* Full_Physical waits in silence
- [2014-10-25 23:13:37]<SpiritOfFate> She moves her crooked jaw a bit. "...okay."
- [2014-10-25 23:14:34]* Full_Physical smiles and nods. "Then let's go to the clinic."
- [2014-10-25 23:16:16]<SpiritOfFate> Rag Doll, opens the door, shrinking as she leaves to the sun outside.
- [2014-10-25 23:16:27]* DontAskForCookies looks to Tamara, unsure of how much to disclose, They were, after all, playing a very dangerous game.
- [2014-10-25 23:16:48]* Full_Physical will walk Rag Doll to the clinic
