  1. 12[19:10] <~Damhoof|GM> -----------------------------------------------------------------------Session4--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2. 12[19:10] <~Damhoof|GM> Ready to depart into the city of Constantinomare some of the party might look to Honeycomb along with the pampered and embarassed Flour, but the mare shrugs and looks to Ishmael. “I have yet to visit this place. Truly the captain offered to take me for a tour. Since he is indisposed I guess you would have to do.”
  3. 12[19:11] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael shrugs in response to her demand, and looks to the harbour in front of them. Rows of anonymous structures greet him in turn. All built by rock and stone to withstand assaults from enemy ships. “I suppose.” He mutters and points towards the left side of the giant harbour and a large mountainous hillsection with holes in it. "That is an iron mine known as the Arsenal. They dug it like a defensible structure before the war ended, but found ores and began mining it for convenience. The crone that healed Lemon Cookie separated weapon trade and regular trade some time ago, and thats where you trade weapons and armour." He then points towards the shining castleforged walls rising above the regular structures in the middle of the harbour. The roof of the castle still shining with gold. "Thats the Hagia Sophia. The crone lives there, along with the important lords and some fancy knights calling themselves Praetors. Whatever."
  4. [19:13] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "So she's not just some fancy shaman?"
  5. 12[19:14] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael shakes his head at Blueberry_Muffin and points a hoof turns towards the stretching beach and long stretching rows of houses following the beach at the right side of the ship. "Thats the rest. The guilds, their rather small arena and the markets. That was where you intended to go right? The ocean brothers set up business with some merchant that lives there." Honeycomb nods. "Shining Instrument I believe his name was."
  6. 08[19:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin beams "Ohhh, shopping!"
  7. 15[19:15] * f1r3w4rr10r is now known as Mayhem
  8. 15[19:15] * Damhoof|GM sets mode: +v Mayhem
  9. 15[19:15] * Looking up Mayhem user info...
  10. 08[19:15] * +Lemon_Cookie has washed himself and his armor. He's nice and clean now, saddlebags affixed to his midsection.
  11. 08[19:16] * +Chrome_Veneer was still staring out in to the water, thinking about the Sea Pony that just passed by and what his course of action should be. For now he'd likely travel with the a group, until he figured something out. Those ponies from earlier... Blueberry and her brother, and a few others seemed to have something in mind.
  12. 08[19:16] * +Lemon_Cookie The buck walks over to his sister.
  13. 08[19:17] * +Sample_Text has also showered and redressed. After leaving the bathroom, she hasn't reappeared on deck.
  14. 12[19:17] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael puts a hoof on the gangway and threads it along with Honeycomb. The golden mare puts a hoof up and points towards a large carriage being pulled by four zebra. "Thats ours. Assuming everypony follows me then there`s room for you too."
  15. 08[19:18] * +Mayhem follows behind Honeycomb and watches around, taking the cityscape in in awe. "They sure haev some explosives to sell up in those mines..."
  16. [19:19] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... interestin'."
  17. 08[19:21] * +Sample_Text peaks out of her room, eyes nervously sweeping the deck.
  18. 08[19:23] * +Lemon_Cookie is impassive. He looks looks on the city with eyes weighted with the momentum of several days of bad moods.
  19. 08[19:24] * +Blueberry_Muffin watches the skyline in awe
  20. 08[19:24] * +Chrome_Veneer finds the city less dazzling that it should have been to him.
  21. 08[19:24] * +Lemon_Cookie loosens his collar.
  22. 08[19:25] * +Sample_Text creeps out of the room towards the galley.
  23. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof|GM> "Most likely. They sell all sorts of weapons in The Arsenal." Ishmael nods at Mayhem and presents the awaiting carriage to Honeycomb. "What about you fellows. Got everything you want?"
  24. [19:25] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Hey, Lemon, check out tha' skyline."
  25. [19:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I am, sis."
  26. 08[19:26] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't look very impressed.
  27. 08[19:26] * +Lemon_Cookie He sighs and turns his head, looking down the beach.
  28. [19:27] <+Mayhem> "I got everything. And I would really like to see the city."
  29. [19:28] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I want ta' see tha' Bazaar and tha' Arsenal."
  30. [19:28] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Let's go, then."
  31. [19:28] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We're broke."
  32. 08[19:28] * +Sample_Text tip-toes behind the gangway gang
  33. 15[19:29] * Sample_Text is now known as Sammple_Lunch
  34. [19:30] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I got sixty caps."
  35. [19:30] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Not sure if they use caps, but they're good money somewhere, so they might be good money here ta' somepony."
  36. 08[19:31] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Hey, I actually got some cash!"
  37. 12[19:31] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb pushes Flour into the awaiting Carraige and looks to Mayhem. "I would like to explore too, but first I would like to talk with Mister Instrument about lodgings for our companions, and secure ourselves some work. Spending your last caps with no prospective income seems foalish."
  38. [19:32] <+Mayhem> "Oh I agree on tha'. I will come with ye then."
  39. [19:33] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thanks fa' that commentary there, miss," Lemon deadpans.
  40. 08[19:33] * +Chrome_Veneer enoticed the golden pony moving for the carriage, others nearby he moved a little closer to the formed group. At the mention of caps, he looked in to his saddlebags, short on money and exhausted.
  41. 08[19:33] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "I'm with Miss Mayhem here."
  42. 08[19:33] * +Lemon_Cookie looks to Blueberry.
  43. [19:33] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We goin' or what?"
  44. [19:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sure. Let's get ourselves a job."
  45. 08[19:35] * +Lemon_Cookie turns and walks down the gangplank.
  46. 12[19:35] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb nods at Lemon_Cookie and enters the carriage while Ishmael awaits the party. "I`m not the one deciding your pace."
  47. [19:36] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Wasn't talk ta' ya'," Lemon says only mildly in Honeycomb's direction, watching his step as he descends.
  48. 08[19:36] * +Chrome_Veneer job sounded nice. It would be a good place to start, getting money before focusing on rescue of the Sea Pony.
  49. 08[19:36] * +Blueberry_Muffin trots towards the carriage
  50. 12[19:37] <~Damhoof|GM> Sample_Lunch heads sneakily into the carriage.
  51. [19:38] <+Lemon_Cookie> talkin'*]
  52. 08[19:39] * +Blueberry_Muffin gets into the carriage and looks around
  53. 08[19:39] * +Lemon_Cookie just plods along next to his sister, looking dour.
  54. 08[19:40] * +Mayhem walks up to the carriage, ducking her head. *PLONK* ... Amazingly enough, the doorframe is that small that one of her horns gets stuck ... again. "Oh by tha totems! Not again!" yanks her head free and enters the carriage.
  55. 08[19:40] * +Chrome_Veneer moves forward snickering at Mayhem. In all honestly, he'd bumped his head on things actually designed 'for' ponies, surely this Minotaur haad more trouble than him with things like that.
  56. 08[19:40] * +Chrome_Veneer looked in to the carriage to see how much space was avaialble
  57. [19:40] <+Chrome_Veneer> [available]
  58. 12[19:41] <~Damhoof|GM> The carriage is very spacious with room for ten ponies.
  59. 08[19:41] * +Lemon_Cookie finds a seat reasonably close to his sister and plops down. His face is neutral-- even a little harsh looking with his eyebrows slanted downwards, mouth a thin line.
  60. 08[19:42] * +Chrome_Veneer moves in after the Minotaur, not really minding where he sits
  61. 08[19:42] * +Blueberry_Muffin moves a bit closer to Lemon_Cookie
  62. 08[19:42] * +Lemon_Cookie glances at his sister, then goes back to staring at nothing.
  63. 12[19:43] <~Damhoof|GM> two rowed seats with rather admirable red coated cusions mark the carriage as a wooden old world wonder. No doubt restored or fournished out of an old outdated model, yet fully functional.
  64. 08[19:43] * +Lemon_Cookie Why the hell did they think this trip would be a good idea?
  65. 08[19:43] * +Blueberry_Muffin nugdes her brother with her muzzles and cuddles him a bit.
  66. 08[19:44] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't react besides scratching his face slightly. His collar glows for a second, tightening back up again.
  67. 08[19:45] * +Mayhem sits down next to Honeycomb and puts an arm around the mare
  68. 12[19:45] <~Damhoof|GM> With everyone having taken their seats Ishmael closes the doors and takes a seat to direct the zebra pulling the cart, and the carriage is soon to start.
  69. 08[19:45] * +Lemon_Cookie His armor covers almost his entire body, all the way up to where his neck ends and his head begins.
  70. 08[19:46] * +Lemon_Cookie scratches the smooth, fully healed spot where his wound used to be. He thinks he ought to get a helmet.
  71. [19:47] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Where we headed first?" Lemon asks, eyes looking nowhere in particular.
  72. 08[19:47] * +Blueberry_Muffin cuddles her brother more, trying to offer some peace
  73. 12[19:48] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb serves Blueberry_Muffin a smile and points towards Flour. The colt is busy looking out of a small window. "I`ll need you to look after him while i settle things with Shining Intrument. Hopefully I`ll be able to secure us a building to utilise on our own given that we have a minotaur."
  74. 08[19:48] * +Lemon_Cookie gently pushes her slightly away with a hoof.
  75. [19:48] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Not helpin', sis," he mutters.
  76. 08[19:49] * +Blueberry_Muffin frowns but then smiles at Flour
  77. 08[19:50] * +Lemon_Cookie exhales, reclining as much as possible in his carriage seat.
  78. [19:51] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Flour, do you know a good game we could play?"
  79. 08[19:52] * +Mayhem turns to Honeycomb "What do you mean by that?"
  80. 12[19:52] <~Damhoof|GM> "All my games are seagames. Unless you want a song." Flour giggles and looks out the window again. "Wrinkly zebra!" He suddenly shouts.
  81. 08[19:53] * +Chrome_Veneer is simply waiting patiently, wondering what it would take to be allowed to visit the 'Crone' and if so, what it would take to get the Sea Pony and perhaps her sister returned to the Sea. Britania had mentioned the Constantinomare but he wasn't confident enough there... he would still find a way.
  82. 15[19:53] * Sammple_Lunch is now known as Sample_Text
  83. 12[19:53] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb looks to Mayhem. "Why Miss Mayflower, you require a bigger bed, and I might pass us off as a small mercenary band. Which would entitle us to certain priviledges."
  84. 08[19:54] * +Lemon_Cookie looks over at the small, white colt, face betraying amusement at the little foal's silliness.
  85. [19:56] <+Mayhem> "Ah ok tha' makes sense."
  86. [19:57] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "What kind a' priviliges?"
  87. 08[19:57] * +Chrome_Veneer looked at the others, they all seemed so eager to press on, but Chrome had many things to worry about. Getting a financial base was an obvious place to start for trying to rescue Britania, but even before 'that' he was visibily exhausted, but didn't want to slow anypony down.
  88. 12[19:59] <~Damhoof|GM> "That is. If you feel comfortable being passed off as a mercenary band." Honeycombs lithe smile seems almost meant for Mayhem, but the mare quickly turns to Blueberry_Muffin. "Such as our own quaters, better pay, and possible side missions that pay more than just guarding brahmin would have. Though it does require a fair bit of additional effort on my part."
  89. 08[19:59] * +Sample_Text sulks in the back of the carriage. She didn't really want to go into the city at all, business or no. Seemed like they should describe Constantinomare a little better in the literature.
  90. [20:00] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Huh. Sounds good ta' me. Whatcha say, bro?"
  91. 08[20:01] * +Mayhem grins back at Honeycomb "No pain, no gain, as me mother always said. I am happy ta help ye in any way I can."
  92. [20:01] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Seems like we'd owe her one," he says, looking at Honeycomb with his maintained impassivity.
  93. [20:01] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Certainly sounds like tha' best choice at tha' moment."
  94. 12[20:02] <~Damhoof|GM> "What a lovely sentiment miss. Mayflower. I`ll have you all know that I appreciate your assistance in this matter. You are too good to me."
  95. 08[20:02] * +Lemon_Cookie narrows his eyes at Honeycomb for a moment, when he thinks she can't see him, then resumes his normal expression.
  96. 08[20:03] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't really mind much, he'd been used to doing all sorts of things as favors for everypony such that being a mercenary didn't really seem to bother him too much. As long as he could have a break, he was outright exhausted, head head felt heavy because of it. ... No his horn, specifically his horn.
  97. [20:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Wanna talk Lemon?"
  98. 08[20:06] * +Lemon_Cookie looks over at Blueberry.
  99. [20:06] <+Lemon_Cookie> "'Bout what?"
  100. [20:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "'Bout what happened."
  101. [20:07] <+Lemon_Cookie> "'Bout what happened wh--"
  102. 08[20:07] * +Lemon_Cookie just rolls his eyes and sighs, looking away.
  103. 08[20:08] * +Blueberry_Muffin nugdes Lemon_Cookie with a hoof "C'mon, talk to me." She has a sad expression on her face
  104. [20:08] <+Lemon_Cookie> "About /what/?" he says, annoyed and scowling slightly. "Be specific."
  105. [20:09] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "About everythin'. You know wha' I mean."
  106. [20:10] <+Lemon_Cookie> "That's not specific, sis."
  107. 08[20:10] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't look amused.
  108. [20:11] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uhm...You're jaw an' everythin'."
  109. 12[20:13] <~Damhoof|GM> The carriage drags into a halt and Ishmael knocks on the small window in front of the carriage. Honeycomb looks to the group with a somewhat hesitant look. "So thats it then? Everypony in favour of being mercenaries? At least its a start. I`ll try to stall and get housing so we can discuss it thoroughly for a few days."
  110. 08[20:13] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods at Honeycomb "Sure."
  111. [20:13] <+Mayhem> "Count me in, too."
  112. [20:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Uh-huh," Lemon says, looking in the other direction.
  113. 08[20:14] * +Chrome_Veneer tries asking something directed toward Honeycombs, but not loudly as he didn't want it to be questioned why, "One quick question, earlier you mentioned something about knights and lords... what would it take to speak to the Crone about something?"
  114. 08[20:14] * +Sample_Text keeps quiet
  115. 12[20:14] <~Damhoof|GM> "And by it i mean the contract we can all Agree on." Honeycomb looks to Sample_text and Chrome_Veneer. "I don`t know. I heard she takes in audiences and holds court at least once a week."
  116. 08[20:15] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, he would just have to go up himself and see if he could seek her audience. "As for the mercenary thing, I'll agree to pretty much anything, I'm used to taking on favors."
  117. [20:16] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "C'mon bor, what's wrong?"
  118. [20:17] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *bro
  119. [20:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Lots a' things, sis."
  120. [20:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Lots a' things."
  121. 12[20:17] <~Damhoof|GM> "Alright then. Take care of Flour while I go settle things with Shining Instrument." She mumbles as Ishmael opens the carriage. The youthfull stallion nods to Honeycomb as she gets up to leave. "We`ll be using this carriage again but feel free to stretch your legs."
  122. 08[20:19] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't take any time jumping out on that offer, he felt cramped in the carriage. It was spacious but... well he shouldn't complain, probably better off than a certain larger non-pony in the group.
  123. 08[20:19] * +Blueberry_Muffin gets up and sits down next to Flour "So you know many songs?"
  124. 08[20:20] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't look to see his sister go.
  125. 12[20:21] <~Damhoof|GM> The golden mare is first to descend from the carriage. Grabbing only her purse. The area outside is a very basic paved road with unimpressive and rather similarily designed clay houseing.
  126. 08[20:21] * +Sample_Text deliberately makes for the carriage door.
  127. 08[20:21] * +Lemon_Cookie pokes his head out of the carriage to see what the road's paved with.
  128. 08[20:22] * +Sample_Text stops short when Lemon takes up the whole damn thing.
  129. 12[20:23] <~Damhoof|GM> The albino colt smiles at Blueberry_Muffin. "Yoho! Yoho! Sea and sailors! Hoist your roger high! Yoho! Yoho! Sea and tremors, never shall we die!" Tonedeaf and rather out of sync with the song he grinds to a halt and gives his best smile to the impressionable mare. "I never sung alone before.."
  130. 08[20:23] * +Lemon_Cookie found the window inadequate. Sue him.
  131. 08[20:23] * +Lemon_Cookie winces slightly at Flour's singing.
  132. 12[20:24] <~Damhoof|GM> The roads are paved with a white stone that seems to have yellowed with age.
  133. 08[20:24] * +Lemon_Cookie Fortunately, he's looking away.
  134. 08[20:24] * +Blueberry_Muffin giggles and starts to sinf along, equally bad
  135. [20:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... hey, Sample. Didn't see ya' walk in."
  136. 12[20:24] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb heads into one of the larger clay houses, leaving the party with Ishmael to guard the carriage and keep the companions company.
  137. 08[20:25] * +Mayhem shouts after Honeycomb "Shall I accompany you?"
  138. 08[20:25] * +Chrome_Veneer stretches his long legs out, sudden movement causing him to remember his magic-related exhaustion.
  139. [20:25] <+Sample_Text> "I'd like to walk out, Lemon, if you don't mind. Some ofus have business to conduct."
  140. 12[20:25] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb sticks her head out the door and shakes her head at Mayhem. "It`ll be better if I do this alone."
  141. 08[20:25] * +Sample_Text does a pretty good job of keeping the fear out of her voice.
  142. [20:25] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... but we're basically in tha' middle a' nowhere."
  143. [20:25] <+Mayhem> "Ok. Good luck te you then."
  144. 08[20:26] * +Lemon_Cookie looks curiously at Sample.
  145. 08[20:26] * +Lemon_Cookie His bad mood doesn't really seem to extend to her.
  146. 08[20:26] * +Sample_Text frowns, "Thank you, for the update."
  147. 12[20:26] <~Damhoof|GM> "Its not Nowhere." Ishmael frowns at Lemon_Cookie. "See the sign over there." Its five caps on it. Merchant street number five. They keep it very simple here."
  148. [20:27] <+Sample_Text> "It doesn't look /promising/ per say, but if there are mercenaries chances are there may be the right kind of merchant as well."
  149. [20:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... tha' right kind bein'--?"
  150. 08[20:28] * +Sample_Text frowns harder, "The right kind."
  151. 08[20:29] * +Lemon_Cookie tunes Ishmael out.
  152. 12[20:29] <~Damhoof|GM> "Not many ponies chose to march down here when the Ocean brothers sat up shop and began ferrying folks. Only the Instruments ever managed to make some serious cash in the brahmin business, but there are a few merchant zebra groups. Mostly Spices and olives, and they dont look too kindly on immigrants."
  153. [20:29] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I don' think there are any arms merchants around, Sample. Said they were all up in tha' mines."
  154. 08[20:29] * +Sample_Text sighs
  155. 08[20:30] * +Blueberry_Muffin cuddles Flour "Say, Ishmael, what kind a' merchant can we find here?"
  156. [20:30] <+Sample_Text> "Nevermind then. Spices are promising, but, eh."
  157. 08[20:30] * +Sample_Text sighs, "Why do I need an arms merchant? I have my weapons already."
  158. 08[20:30] * +Chrome_Veneer doesn't have any money yet anyway.
  159. 08[20:30] * +Chrome_Veneer could use some extra water bottles
  160. 12[20:30] <~Damhoof|GM> "Thats because there arent any arms merchants." Ishmael shrugs. "The shaman control arms trafficing and ammo trade."
  161. [20:31] <+Lemon_Cookie> "S'chiefly what I think a' when thinkin' mercs," Lemon says, shrugging.
  162. 08[20:31] * +Sample_Text goes back to her seat
  163. 12[20:32] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour cuddles with Blueberry_Muffin. "You suck at singing too."
  164. [20:32] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We could need some better guns if we wanna pass off as mercs."
  165. 12[20:33] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael laughs at Blueberry_Muffin. "Thats probably why Miss Honeycomb, never bothered to invite you to tag along with her."
  166. 08[20:33] * +Lemon_Cookie walks back over to the spot he'd previously occupied.
  167. 08[20:34] * +Blueberry_Muffin strokes Flours white mane "You're probably right."
  168. 08[20:34] * +Chrome_Veneer was finished stretching, and looked around for the distant Hagia Sophia to see if he could spot it from where he was.
  169. 08[20:35] * +Lemon_Cookie looks over at Blueberry, as if about to say something, then sighs and lets it go, turning away again.
  170. 12[20:36] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_veneer can spot the impressive castle forged walls of the hagia Sophia looming above the city buildings. A massive wall with gold gleaming roof bathed in sunlight. You could say that the size of it keeps half the city in the shade depending on what time it is.
  171. 08[20:37] * +Chrome_Veneer stares up at the large building with awe. It was different from what it looked back, back at the sea... or maybe his focus was just shifted on something more liquid? In any case, "So what is everypony going to do?"
  172. 12[20:37] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uhu." Flour nods at Blueberry_Muffin. "Thats nice of you to say."
  173. 08[20:38] * +Lemon_Cookie sits, stewing in his own thoughts.
  174. [20:39] <+Sample_Text> "Do about what, Chrome?"
  175. 08[20:39] * +Mayhem looks at Chrome_Veneer "Me reckon, we see what Honeycomb comes back with. Maybe we already get a job."
  176. [20:39] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... I hope her negotiations are expedient," Lemon mumbles.
  177. 08[20:40] * +Chrome_Veneer was conflicted, or rather worried about his utility when he was so strained but wouldn't slow anypony down by revealing it. "I suppose, it sounded to me like it might take a while." And he was impatient in his desire to progress toward finding some way to help Britania and her sister.
  178. 12[20:40] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb exits the building carrying a small stack of papers, and looks to the party with a big smile on her face. "Scoore!" She giggles.
  179. 08[20:41] * +Chrome_Veneer "Fast..."
  180. [20:42] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Oh joy. Legal documents."
  181. 08[20:43] * +Blueberry_Muffin snickers at her brother "It can't be worse than back home."
  182. 12[20:43] <~Damhoof|GM> "Yes, well. Its not finalized." Honeycomb looks at Chrome_Veneer with a forgiving smile. "They eh, seemed very appreciative that we`d come all this way after having heard of their reputation, and will rent out their houseing to us for a few days so we could consider the contract, but because you didn`t meet in person there will be an evaluation of our abilities before contract singing."
  183. [20:43] <+Lemon_Cookie> "They'd better be in The Princesses' Own."
  184. [20:44] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Evaluation of our abilities?"
  185. 08[20:44] * +Chrome_Veneer laughed a bit hesitantly, "Hopefully we have some time to rest before then? I'm not quite ready to do much strenuous work."
  186. [20:45] <+Mayhem> "Me hopes it's not herding brahmin."
  187. [20:45] <+Lemon_Cookie> "What Blueberry said."
  188. 12[20:45] <~Damhoof|GM> "We`ll be staying at a noble mansion that was won over by the previous mercenary group to seek Zebra lands." Honeycomb looks to Ishmael with some confusion. "Wolf Manor they called it."
  189. [20:47] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... not an answer ta' tha' question we were askin'," Lemon says, flicking his gaze to Blueberry for a moment, then looking at Honeycomb.
  190. 12[20:47] <~Damhoof|GM> "Wow." Ishmael whistles. "I think I know the place."
  191. 08[20:48] * +Lemon_Cookie impatiently waits for an answer.
  192. 12[20:51] <~Damhoof|GM> "Yes evaluation." Honeycomb nods at Lemon_Cookie. "its not much. They said once they had confirmed the seawitch rumors then they would probably just give us a small task that fit our abilities. We never really spoke much of it."
  193. [20:51] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sounds...intersstin'
  194. [20:51] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thanks fa' lookin' out fa' us," Lemon says neutrally.
  195. [20:51] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *"
  196. 08[20:52] * +Chrome_Veneer perked up at the mention, "Sea Witch?"
  197. 12[20:53] <~Damhoof|GM> "The black cell besides the regular sea pony." Honeycomb nods for the carriage. "Lets head to this Wolf manor and get our stuff quatered in."
  198. [20:55] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uh-huh. Sounds good ta' me. Whatcha say, Flour?"
  199. 08[20:55] * +Chrome_Veneer laughed hesitantly. It wasn't that he didn't know about it... just that anything that even remotedly mentioned Sea Ponies, even referring to something he knew, caused his attention to become focused on that alone. "Any idea how long before they... confirm the rumors?
  200. 12[20:56] <~Damhoof|GM> "Probably not long." Honeycomb gets into the carriage and looks to the others. "The crone never was one to keep those things secret."
  201. 12[20:57] <~Damhoof|GM> "Probably not long." Honeycomb gets into the carriage and looks to the others. "The crone didn`t look like one to keep things secret. What with that gaudy cloak you`d see her from a mile away."
  202. 08[20:57] * +Blueberry_Muffin snickers "An' those sunglasses."
  203. 08[20:58] * +Sample_Text shivers
  204. 08[20:58] * +Mayhem laughs "You mean swagcrona?"
  205. 08[20:59] * +Lemon_Cookie isn't amused.
  206. [20:59] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Can we get on with this?"
  207. [21:00] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "C'mon bro, lighten up a bit."
  208. 08[21:00] * +Mayhem looks at Lemon "Oh come on Lemon, ge tha' stick out o' yer plot."
  209. 08[21:02] * +Lemon_Cookie narrows his eyes.
  210. 12[21:02] <~Damhoof|GM> The carriage starts to move once more, as Ishmael takes his position in the front. Honeycomb briefly puts a hoof towards Lemon_Cookie. "I`ll let you see the contracts once they have been drafted. Be honest with me, and share any grievance you have and I`ll take it into account."
  211. [21:03] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sounds good."
  212. 08[21:03] * +Lemon_Cookie turns to Mayhem.
  213. [21:04] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... an' don't talk ta' me like ya' know me."
  214. 08[21:04] * +Chrome_Veneer wanted to say he had no grievances, but admittedly, he was worried that their rumors of turning in sea ponies would be correlated to them having a contract realted to them. "So now we're headed to?"
  215. [21:05] <+Mayhem> "Whoa there, hothead. Hold yer horses. I am just trying ta cheer ye up."
  216. 08[21:07] * +Lemon_Cookie scowls at Mayhem for a short bit, then looks elsewhere.
  217. 12[21:08] <~Damhoof|GM> "Wolf manor. It used to be owned by the olive merchants, but they put it out as an arena prize to pay off their debts." Honeycomb looks to Lemon_Cookie. "We don`t know each others. This is true, but I hope to one day get to know you better. Please forgive them their rash words."
  218. [21:09] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I may forget them in time," he says.
  219. [21:09] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Mayhem's right though. You need ta' lighten up a bit. Surely the worls will look differently tomorrow."
  220. 08[21:10] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, "Heh" with the obvious tension between certain ponies, "Still, for the present it might be a good idea to be less aggressive with those you might' be working with."
  221. [21:11] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I know /exactly/ what I'm doin', an' that's suggestin' ya' all keep 'ya distance."
  222. [21:12] <+Lemon_Cookie> ya'*]
  223. [21:13] <+Mayhem> "Ok fine. Be that way. By tha' totems, some ponies..."
  224. 12[21:16] <~Damhoof|GM> "I can understand his grievances." Honeycomb looks to Mayhem and BLueberry_Tart. "It has been completely uncouth of me to drag you with me and promote you on my behalf."
  225. 12[21:17] <~Damhoof|GM> The carriage grinds to a halt once more and Ishmael taps the front window. "Get your stuff Miss Honeycomb. We`re here."
  226. [21:18] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "It'S quite alright I guess. Me and my brother have ta' solve some issues, tha's all."
  227. 12[21:19] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael opens the door for the party to exit and draws a grin. "Wolf manor is our final destination together. May I have a farewell kiss from a faire maiden miss Blueberry."
  228. 08[21:19] * +Chrome_Veneer waits until the golden pony gets out before stepping out of the carriage himself. He stumbles over himself at Ishmael's comment though. Embarassing pony never fails to deliver.
  229. 08[21:20] * +Blueberry_Muffin raises an eyebrow "A farewell kiss?"
  230. 08[21:20] * +Sample_Text stands
  231. 08[21:21] * +Blueberry_Muffin rolls her eyes "I guess I owe ya' somethin' fa' gettin' me that luxury suite."
  232. 08[21:21] * +Lemon_Cookie shifts from his seat.
  233. 12[21:21] <~Damhoof|GM> The manor seems built by large blocks of the same white stone that covered the streets, except its been charred black by some unseemingly force. Some of the stone even appears to be melted with each others in a black fusion. As if the house was struck temporarily by a welding beam.
  234. [21:21] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' don't owe him a thing," he mumbles, walking for the exit.
  235. 08[21:22] * +Blueberry_Muffin throws Lemon_Cookie a slightly annoyed look. She was very well capable of deciding who to kiss and who not to kiss.
  236. 08[21:23] * +Blueberry_Muffin gives Ishmael a smooch on the muzzle. Mostly to annoy her brother.
  237. 08[21:23] * +Lemon_Cookie is leaving for that exact reason. He doesn't have to watch.
  238. 08[21:23] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, "We don't all have to do that... do we?" He asked Blueberry_Muffin as a joke, he was a bit with her brother on the whole 'appeasing Ishmael' thing.
  239. 12[21:23] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael bounces with renewed vigour at Blueberry_Muffins kiss. "Thank you Blueberry_Muffin. I will remember this fondly when I participate in the arena tomorrow."
  240. [21:24] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "If ya' really want ta' do me a favor, then please stay out of tha' arena. It'll only kill ya'."
  241. 08[21:24] * +Mayhem bows down and embraces the small stallion in a crushing hug "Good luck on yer thing in th' arena."
  242. [21:25] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I hope ya' recieve an embarassin', but not particularly grievous injury, Ishmael," Lemon says, giving him a false grin.
  243. 12[21:25] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb laughs and sends Ishmael an air kiss that she throws at him with a marely flourish as Flour makes vomit noises at Blueberry_Muffin. "Gross!"
  244. 08[21:25] * +Blueberry_Muffin chuckles at Flour "One day you'll understand."
  245. 08[21:26] * +Lemon_Cookie regains his dour expression and walks out of the carriage.
  246. 12[21:26] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael heaves to catch his breath within Mayhems crushing hug. "Thank you kindly. Enjoy the manor, though I suspect it is somewhat preoccupied by other mercenaries."
  247. 08[21:28] * +Sample_Text steps lightly from the carriage
  248. 08[21:29] * +Chrome_Veneer thinks about the 'other mercenaries', "Hopefully they won't be much trouble, but i don't mind sharing."
  249. 08[21:29] * +Lemon_Cookie thinks he might get along with them better than this group-- especially the minotaur.
  250. 08[21:30] * +Blueberry_Muffin pics up Flour and puts him on her back before exiting the carriage
  251. 12[21:30] <~Damhoof|GM> The party is greeted by the blackened rocks and the heat of the sun. Now they they have left the shadow of the Hagia Sophia behind.
  252. 08[21:30] * +Lemon_Cookie looks down. Dark blue is, perhaps, not the best color to wear in the sun.
  253. 12[21:33] <~Damhoof|GM> Mayhem, Lemon_Cookie, Sample_text and Blueberry_Muffin all feel famished and rather tired from the constant heat of Constantinomare. (-2 Per)
  254. 08[21:34] * +Chrome_Veneer was probably too distracted by his strain to be bothered with the heat.
  255. 08[21:34] * +Lemon_Cookie was already feeling pretty damn shitty. He doesn't notice much change.
  256. 08[21:34] * +Sample_Text officially hates this city. It's official; not just a sinking unease anymore, nope, this city is officially hell.
  257. [21:34] <+Sample_Text> "Let's just go inside."
  258. [21:35] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Agreed."
  259. [21:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Damn this heat."
  260. [21:35] <+Mayhem> "That's no good olden scoltish weather. Let's get in tha' shade, lads."
  261. 08[21:35] * +Sample_Text wilts
  262. 12[21:36] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb steps onto the blackened stone with a trying step and brings her luggage and papers with her. "Mayflower. Mind carrying these." She asks, while presenting her two suitcases to Mayhem.
  263. 08[21:36] * +Lemon_Cookie sweats inside his dark blue police barding. This thing was clearly engineered for a more temperate climate.
  264. 08[21:37] * +Mayhem turns to Honeycomb and grabs the luggage "Hmm, yes sure. Not a problem."
  265. 08[21:37] * +Blueberry_Muffin sweats under her mesh cloak and utility barding
  266. 08[21:38] * +Lemon_Cookie wonders if he'd fare better naked.
  267. 08[21:38] * +Lemon_Cookie His bright coat and mane would do a good job reflecting the light.
  268. 08[21:38] * +Chrome_Veneer moves up to the front of the manor, being sure not to stray too far ahead of Honeycomb.
  269. 08[21:38] * +Sample_Text drags herself and her posessions to the front door.
  270. 08[21:39] * +Lemon_Cookie lugs his saddlebags along.
  271. 12[21:40] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb pushes onward in the sweltering heat of the sun. Her golden fur positively radiating in the light. Sensually greeting the guard with her papers. "Why hello there. We are new here, but they said something about the west wing, and Miss Instruments papers have us staying here for a few days while the contract proposal gets drafted."
  272. 08[21:42] * +Blueberry_Muffin mutters "Miss Instruments? Oh dear..."
  273. 12[21:42] <~Damhoof|GM> The guard looks at the papers and nods. "Alright miss. Honeycomb Blueblood. Just head inside and take the first hallway to the left and we`ll have no trouble. I`ll tell the boss, but you`re welcome to pick rooms for yourselves. Nothing is locked."
  274. 08[21:43] * +Lemon_Cookie stands by his sister and the little colt on her back.
  275. [21:43] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hey," he says to Flour, somewhat tired and sad sounding.
  276. 12[21:43] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb turns around and nods for the rest to follow.
  277. 08[21:44] * +Blueberry_Muffin follows Honeycomb inside
  278. 12[21:44] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour looks up at Lemon_Cookie, some of his cheek matted with blush and sweat. "Hu..Hi." The albino zebra blinks at Lemon_Cookie. "You are a unicorn."
  279. 08[21:44] * +Chrome_Veneer follows Blueberry who follows Honeycomb inside.
  280. [21:45] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yes I am."
  281. [21:45] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm good at magic, if that's what you were wondering," he adds after a moment. "Not all unicorns are."
  282. 08[21:46] * +Lemon_Cookie is already following Blueberry.
  283. 08[21:46] * +Mayhem still walks right next to Honeycomb with the luggage in her hand. This time, she bows extraordinarily deep down to avoid the doorframe. ... nothing happens. "Huh?" shrugs and walks on.
  284. 12[21:46] <~Damhoof|GM> "That must be awesome." He says, while locking his eyes at Lemon_Cookies horn. "You have a pretty mane."
  285. [21:46] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thank you."
  286. 08[21:48] * +Lemon_Cookie scrunches his muzzle, judging whether or not he could lift Flour up.
  287. 08[21:48] * +Sample_Text tramps inside
  288. 12[21:48] <~Damhoof|GM> "My name is Flour. What`s yours?" The albino zebra smiles at Lemon_Cookie. No doubt happy with having a stallion to talk to.
  289. [21:48] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm Lemon Cookie. Lemon for short."
  290. 08[21:49] * +Chrome_Veneer looks around once inside, trying to spot other mercenaries and get a feel for what they're like if he does. He'd want to avoid conflict with the other residents if possible.
  291. 12[21:50] <~Damhoof|GM> As Honeycomb looks around in the hallway of the west wing. Several doors greet her at every turn. Most of them open. One of them revealing a broken down library, and the other a lounging room with a ruined billiards table, and in the end theres a living room with enough sofas and tables to seat a small crowd of ponies. "Looks alright. Oh, theres a second floor too."
  292. 08[21:51] * +Blueberry_Muffin tries to look 'merc-sih' as possible. Stern look and stoic expression, but the little zebra colt on her back doesn't really help the effort
  293. 08[21:51] * +Sample_Text makes straight for the library
  294. [21:51] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Say, Flour. I could use my unicorn magic to make you fly."
  295. 12[21:52] <~Damhoof|GM> The zebra colt looks at Lemon Cookie with amazement. "Could you?"
  296. [21:52] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Just please be carefull, will ya'?"
  297. [21:52] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yep," Lemon says, smiling slightly.
  298. [21:53] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Okay. Get ready," he says, clearly amused by this whole thing.
  299. 12[21:54] <~Damhoof|GM> Sample_text is greeted by rows of empty shelves and a few burnt books.
  300. 08[21:54] * +Lemon_Cookie extends a telekinetic bubble around Flour, lifting him off Blueberry's back and floating him about a meter off the ground.
  301. 12[21:54] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour laughs and nods to prove that he is ready. "Make me fly Lemon!"
  302. 08[21:54] * +Chrome_Veneer walks over to the library that was revealed by a broken-door, peering inside after Sample.
  303. 08[21:55] * +Sample_Text curls up in the corner
  304. 12[21:55] <~Damhoof|GM> The albino zebra colt laughs and flaps his arms around. "Weeeee! I`m a seagull!"
  305. 08[21:55] * +Blueberry_Muffin leaves Lemon_Cookie and Flour playing and heads after Chrome_Veneer. MAybe she could find something in the library
  306. 08[21:56] * +Lemon_Cookie floats Flour around himself, walking with Blueberry towards the library.
  307. 08[21:57] * +Lemon_Cookie He keeps his eyes on the zebra colt as much as possible, watching for the foal's directional cues.
  308. 08[21:57] * +Chrome_Veneer looks to Sample, "Is there anything readable or is it all burnt books and storage space?"
  309. 12[21:58] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour banks to the left and caws like a bird.
  310. [21:58] <+Sample_Text> "Look around you."
  311. [21:58] <+Sample_Text> "Everything's looted or ruined."
  312. 08[21:58] * +Lemon_Cookie floats Flour along as he heads into the library, taking a look around. As the heat from outdoors finally bleeds off, he realizes how exhausted he is.
  313. [21:59] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm. I was actually hoping for books..." he says.
  314. 08[21:59] * +Blueberry_Muffin looks around, searching for anything remotely useable
  315. 12[21:59] <~Damhoof|GM> Blueberry_Muffin notices that one of the burnt books has a bobby pin sticking out of it.
  316. 08[21:59] * +Chrome_Veneer leaves a bit defeated, "Everypony was." Well at least a good portion of the group seemed to be. He decided to check another empty room, closest to the burnt-down library.
  317. 08[22:00] * +Blueberry_Muffin trots up to the book and picks up the Bobby Pin "Look what I found!"
  318. 08[22:00] * +Lemon_Cookie slowly guides Flour into a loop-de-loop.
  319. 12[22:00] <~Damhoof|GM> "I`m upside down! Look at me! This is amazing! Woho!"
  320. 12[22:01] <~Damhoof|GM> "Higher!" The zebra colt looks at Lemon_Cookie with a grin and giggles. "Pleesee!"
  321. 08[22:01] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't hear the mention of a bobbypin, otherwise he would jump on that. Instead he was busy opening the door to a room nearest the library and getting a look inside.
  322. 08[22:02] * +Lemon_Cookie lifts Flour another meter off the ground and takes him about in a circle.
  323. 12[22:02] <~Damhoof|GM> Chromve_Veneer finds a row of beautiful heartshaped beddings with silken sheets. Stacked across the room and built with privacy courtains.
  324. 08[22:03] * +Sample_Text does nothing.
  325. 08[22:03] * +Chrome_Veneer cringed a bit. This didn't seem like his type of room... or for any other non-mare, still he decided to look around the room a bit.
  326. 08[22:03] * +Blueberry_Muffin , happy with her Manehattan-habbits paying off, heads after Chrome_Veneer. "Oh...Miss Honeycomb? Are those yours?"
  327. 08[22:04] * +Chrome_Veneer "It would be fitting."
  328. 12[22:04] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veneer finds a nightstand brimming with small plastic candy..
  329. 12[22:05] <~Damhoof|GM> It even has flavours like strawberry, mint, apple and chocolate.
  330. [22:05] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Okay, Flour. I think that's enough."
  331. 12[22:06] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uh. Okay." Flour grins at Lemon_Cookie before flapping downwards into a landing.
  332. 08[22:06] * +Blueberry_Muffin reads the packaging "Strawbe-oh..." She blushes a bit
  333. 08[22:07] * +Chrome_Veneer got his fill of this room to last a lifetime. He passes Blueberry on his way out, "Whether it's hers or not, it's definitely not mine." He laughed, then hesitated as she seemed embarassed about something. "St... wha? What are you looking at... the candy?"
  334. 12[22:07] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uhu. Very funny Blueberry_MUffin." Honeycomb laughs a mock laugh. "I found a similar setup in the other rooms."
  335. 08[22:07] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods, feeling slightly awkward she leans closer to CHrome_Veneer and whispers into his ear, a hoof pointed at the 'candy' "Condoms."
  336. 08[22:08] * +Chrome_Veneer looked defeated, "The other rooms too?" Guess it wouldn't matter then?... then he heard the mention "Condoms" whispered in his ear and blushed hotly shaking his head. "W..Wh.. er! Why?" As though he didn't know.
  337. 08[22:09] * +Lemon_Cookie releases Flour from his telekinesis, then looks about for Blueberry.
  338. 12[22:09] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour follows Lemon_Cookie and giggles gingerly. "Thank you for making me fly. I`ve never flown before."
  339. [22:10] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' welcome. Say, did ya' see where my sister went from up there, seagull?"
  340. 12[22:11] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uh. Out of the room." is Flours response.
  341. 08[22:13] * +Chrome_Veneer begins to slowly back out of the room looking every direction but at the pony that mentioned condoms. "I'm going to confirm that every room is the same because... this one doesn't seem... right for me..." Afterwards booking it to the next door down and hoping for something different, peering inside.
  342. 12[22:13] <~Damhoof|GM> Sample_text and Blueberry_Muffin can hear hooves approching them from the hallway, and Lemon_Cookie can spot a prewar armour wearing brown unicorn buck with a scar over his muzzle appraching.
  343. 08[22:14] * +Lemon_Cookie looks at the fellow, raising an eyebrow.
  344. 08[22:14] * +Blueberry_Muffin perks up her ears and follows the noise "Oh, hi there."
  345. 12[22:15] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veneer spots the same stallion as he leaves the room. He`s rather large and muscled after all and makes no effort to reduce his presence. "Ah. You are the new mercenary company right?"
  346. 08[22:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods
  347. [22:15] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Mhmm."
  348. 12[22:15] <~Damhoof|GM> He frowns and gives Flour a most dissaproving glance. "I see."
  349. 08[22:16] * +Chrome_Veneer stops in his charge for the next door as a new pony appeared before him, backing up to make sure he didn't get in the way of the large muscled stallion. "We are."
  350. [22:16] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We're the,uhm, Steel Flanks."
  351. 08[22:16] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't care about names that much, but would like that everypony contributed before something said randomly by one sunk in.
  352. 08[22:16] * +Lemon_Cookie looks at Blueberry_Muffin, appalled.
  353. 12[22:17] <~Damhoof|GM> "Oh please don`t give us such a vulgar name miss Muffin. We shall be the knights of rainbow or something epic."
  354. [22:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We don't have a company name yet, I'm afraid," he amends, looking to the stallion. "No consensus."
  355. 08[22:17] * +Blueberry_Muffin manages and awkward smile "Sorry."
  356. 08[22:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin puts on a stoic and stern expression
  357. 12[22:19] <~Damhoof|GM> The scar faced unicorn stallion. "Heard you took out a sea witch. Must have been dumb luck. Whatever. Just here to say that we took the stuff in the library to use for our guards, and the only beds we left around are the uhm. Pleasure domes. Occasionally we`d use them for uhm. Sports. Though you`d have to clean them yourselves."
  358. [22:20] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Pleasure domes? Sports? That's kinda disgustin'."
  359. 12[22:20] <~Damhoof|GM> (the scar faced unicorn stallion purses his lips and sighes ^)
  360. 08[22:20] * +Chrome_Veneer fell to his rump in utter defeat. So those were really the only beds left? "Ugh..." He sounded ou tin disgust.
  361. 08[22:20] * +Chrome_Veneer not disgust, embarassment?
  362. [22:20] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Ya' should at least change tha' sheets afterwards. What would ya' say if ya' had to sleep in my fluids?"
  363. 08[22:21] * +Lemon_Cookie gives the stallion a slightly annoyed look.
  364. [22:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' at least gonna' tell us where tha' clean linens are?"
  365. 08[22:22] * +Mayhem says nothing and turns slightly red
  366. 08[22:23] * +Blueberry_Muffin squints her eyes a bit.
  367. 12[22:23] <~Damhoof|GM> "No doubt I`d be thoroughly pleased with myself for having seduced you in bed with me." The unicorn mercenary sends Blueberry_muffin a perverted grin before resuming his more stoic mercenary modus operandi. "We have clean linens in the first room of the hallway."
  368. 08[22:23] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugs, for some reason Blueberry seemed to be attracting all of the stallions, from young to old.
  369. [22:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "How dare ya'..."
  370. 08[22:24] * +Chrome_Veneer "Could be worse i suppose." He told himself quietly, deciding not to try and inconvenience the other ponies of the manor, despite how much they have done to them.
  371. [22:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thank ya'," Lemon says with a certain finality.
  372. 08[22:25] * +Sample_Text snores loudly
  373. 08[22:25] * +Blueberry_Muffin makes a few determined steps closer towards the scarred buck
  374. 08[22:25] * +Lemon_Cookie reaches out a hoof to stop his sister.
  375. 12[22:26] <~Damhoof|GM> "Because I`m older, stronger and more well equipped than you." The unicorn draws a smile and looks to Honeycomb. "So many mares, so little time. The kitchen is staffed and we`ve got food enough to share it with you. Just head out of this hallway and into the main room. We`re using that as our dining hall."
  376. [22:26] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Just who d-" She stops, but continues to scowl
  377. 08[22:27] * +Blueberry_Muffin mutters "Wha' do I look like? A whore?"
  378. 08[22:27] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, "Thank you kindly."
  379. 08[22:27] * +Lemon_Cookie just looks at the unicorn stallion, frowning slightly.
  380. 08[22:27] * +Blueberry_Muffin feels quite offended and insulted
  381. 08[22:27] * +Mayhem drops the luggage snorts so that steam comes out her nose and cracks he fingers. "Oh yeah lad? Think ye can take a 'mare' of proper size?"
  382. 12[22:29] <~Damhoof|GM> The unicorn sends Mayhem a rather pained glance. "She asked for it with the whole fluid comment. Welcome to the wolf manor. /Whatever/ you decide to call yourselves.."
  383. [22:29] <+Lemon_Cookie> "You shoud go," Lemon says simply.
  384. 12[22:30] <~Damhoof|GM> The brown unicorn nods at Lemon_Cookie and turns to leave. "Theres dinner if you want it."
  385. 08[22:30] * +Blueberry_Muffin contemplates. She should probably fuck the least likeable comrade of the stallion, just to piss him off.
  386. [22:30] <+Lemon_Cookie> should*]
  387. [22:31] <+Chrome_Veneer> [shouldn't*]
  388. 12[22:31] <~Damhoof|GM> "He gave me the bad stare." Flour mutters behind Lemon_Cookie. "He doesn\t like me."
  389. [22:32] <+Lemon_Cookie> "It's alright, Flour. Mean ponies will be mean."
  390. 08[22:32] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Yes, he's a mean stallion. C'mon, let's find us a comfy bed, shall we?"
  391. [22:32] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sometimes, all you have to do is ignore them and they go back to minding their own business."
  392. 12[22:32] <~Damhoof|GM> "It seems we have the entire west wing to ourselves." Honeycomb smiles a dry smile at Mayhem. "Lets start by cleaning sheets and makeing ourselves comfortable."
  393. 08[22:33] * +Chrome_Veneer wasn't as hungry as he should be, but he was certainly keen on taking up an offer that might entail free water. "I'm going to go ahead and take..." He looked for a room different than the first one. He moved to the door directly adjacted and peered inside. "This one."
  394. 12[22:33] <~Damhoof|GM> "We could all sleep in one room, or we could split up." Honeycomb muses to Blueberry_Muffin. "Wouldn`t be so bad either way."
  395. 08[22:34] * +Lemon_Cookie walks next to Blueberry, much less angry than he was on the ride over, although he does look much more tired.
  396. 08[22:34] * +Blueberry_Muffin thinks for a second. "We could split mares an' stallions."
  397. 08[22:34] * +Mayhem turns around and picks the luggage up again. "Aye. Let's find a comfy room. The further away I get from tha' prick the better."
  398. 12[22:36] <~Damhoof|GM> "Thats not a bad idea." Honeycomb nods at Blueberry_Muffin. "Tobad about these awful loveseats, though they are rather comfortable they do seem well used."
  399. 08[22:36] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods with a slightly disgusted expression "Could've at least changes tha' sheets."
  400. [22:37] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yeah. Real dick move a' them."
  401. 08[22:38] * +Chrome_Veneer moved in to the door beside the first one in which he assumed the mares to use, and peered inside. He expected something different, although they'd already said they were all similar.
  402. [22:38] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' mind handlin' this, Blueberry? I'm gonna' go see if I can't find some water."
  403. 12[22:39] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veener finds a similar room with similar beddings, except there is still a set of handcufffes cufffed to a bedding pole.
  404. 08[22:39] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Sure."
  405. 08[22:40] * +Mayhem "Oi Chrome! Changed yer mind on were ta sleep?" winks at him.
  406. 08[22:40] * +Lemon_Cookie wonders if there's a fountain or water-feature nearby.
  407. [22:40] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I suggest the mares move into tha' room we already seen. The stallions take the one next ta' us. Sound good?"
  408. 12[22:41] <~Damhoof|GM> Lemon_Cookie can reason out well enough that if the mercenaries dine in the main room then there ought to be some form of water nearby.
  409. [22:41] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... when we have tha' whole West Wing?" Lemon adds, still thinking of where there might be water.
  410. 08[22:41] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, "There's not many options." moving to a bed inside the door down from the first that looked cleaner than the rest and looking crosseyed up at his horn. "Hope i can do this." As he brought his horn down to the bed and began to attempt to clean it with his magic, particularly portions worse than the rest which is to say... the whole thing. [Clean]
  411. [22:42] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I figured it'll be better if we stick togehter"
  412. 08[22:43] * +Lemon_Cookie gives Blueberry a look.
  413. [22:43] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Oh fine. Let's find some rooms farther away."
  414. 08[22:44] * +Blueberry_Muffin starts to head further into the west wing, looking into each room.
  415. 08[22:45] * +Lemon_Cookie nods, then gives the library one last look about.
  416. 12[22:45] <~Damhoof|GM> "Yes mister Lemon. We have the whole room." Honeycomb walks up to him and smiles. "There aren`t many unicorns here, and wolf company stick their mercs together. So we technically have the whole West wing. bottom and top floor both. Though I`d suggest that we do stick somewhat together."
  417. 08[22:47] * +Chrome_Veneer casts a silver glow over the bed and its sheets as he moves his focus from side to side attempting to get the majority of the vile off of the fabric. He was blushing a bit the entire time, while it was disgusting to think about he also had to consider what caused it which was embarassing to him.
  418. 12[22:49] <~Damhoof|GM> Blueberry_Muffin finds the washroom with two large clothwashers intent for mass cleaning, and a closet filled with spare sheets for the beddings.
  419. 08[22:49] * +Lemon_Cookie heads for the kitchen, canteens at the ready.
  420. 08[22:50] * +Blueberry_Muffin happily takes the sheets and balances them on her back. She heads back to the others. "Look whhat I found!"
  421. 12[22:50] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veneers bedding seems to stop smelling so bad after he casted the spell.
  422. 08[22:51] * +Chrome_Veneer overly strains his horn be decided to cast it a second time for safe measure, ignorant of what Blueberry found. He was glad when it seemed at least remotely useable though.
  423. 08[22:51] * +Lemon_Cookie He trots all the way to the kitchen, then looks for a faucet.
  424. 12[22:53] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb looks around the wide dining area, and easily spots a built in watercooler built in the fashion of an oldschool water tower.
  425. 12[22:53] <~Damhoof|GM> "This looks like the what you are looking for Lemon_Cookie."
  426. [22:54] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... right."
  427. 08[22:55] * +Lemon_Cookie walks up to the faucet and begins to fill his canteen to the brim.
  428. 08[22:55] * +Mayhem looks around if she can see Honeycomb anywhere.
  429. 12[22:57] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb looks to Lemon_Cookie with some interest. "So many things to do, yet you went to pour yourself water. Would you mind shareing with me? This sun really is murder such as the captain said."
  430. 08[22:57] * +Blueberry_Muffin brings the sheets to Mayhem "I guess ya' can handle them better. Hands 'n' everythin'"
  431. 08[22:57] * +Chrome_Veneer finished cleaning his bed with magic a second time and left his saddlebags on the bed to mark it as his. It was the cleanest in the room after all, through his effort. Leaving the colt's room, he began to walk toward the prementioned dining area to seek water and food.
  432. [22:57] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sure."
  433. 08[22:57] * +Lemon_Cookie floats her the canteen after he's filled it up, giving her the first drink out of courtesy.
  434. 12[22:59] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb approaches Lemon_Cookie with a smile as she grasps the canteen. Gulping down on the rich liquid. "Oh. Its cold."
  435. [22:59] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Say. You're a good bit more knowledgeable than me about these parts. Do ya' know if there are any healer unicorns in tha' city?"
  436. 08[23:00] * +Sample_Text does nothing
  437. 08[23:02] * +Chrome_Veneer finds his way to the mentioned dining hall, where the Stallion earlier had told him he could go to get a share of food.
  438. 12[23:03] <~Damhoof|GM> "Not as far as I know." Honeycomb draws a smile and hands the canteen back to Lemon_Cookie. "They would probably be in the Hagia Sophia, the arena, or part of a mercenary band. Healing magic as explained to me is very popular, because potions tend to evapourate if exposed to the heat for too long."
  439. [23:03] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Interestin'."
  440. 12[23:04] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veneer finds that the hall is empty besides Honeycomb and Lemon_Cookie. Theres a scent of food in the air, rising from the kitchens.
  441. [23:04] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Mayhem?"
  442. 08[23:04] * +Lemon_Cookie refills the canteen, then drinks from it until he's satisfied, filling it up from the tap a third time for the road.
  443. 08[23:05] * +Lemon_Cookie He slings it back, placing it with his pack, looks to Honeycomb -- as if signalling to her -- before heading back to the library.
  444. 08[23:05] * +Chrome_Veneer looks around, passing by the two ponies from the group to find the facet/fountain, he's been carrying a dirty-water in his mouth and wanted to drink and replace it. He nodded to Lemon as he passed.
  445. 12[23:06] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb nods to Lemon_Cookie before following her nose towards the kitchens.
  446. 08[23:06] * +Mayhem snaps out of looking for the golden coated mare "Huh, what? Oh yes of course Blueberry." drops the luggage and takes the sheets.
  447. 08[23:07] * +Lemon_Cookie sighs slightly, a little glad to have Honeycomb off his back.
  448. 08[23:08] * +Blueberry_Muffin smiles happily "Thanks." She takes one of the sheets for herself and starts to replace it on a bed she deemed fit for sleeping. Despite being an earth pony and having looted corpses before, she still finds this a bit dusgusting.
  449. 08[23:08] * +Lemon_Cookie He looks about the library, feeling less and less exhausted as the water diffuses through his system, rehydrating him.
  450. 12[23:09] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour prods sample_text "Hi. My name is Flour. What is yours?"
  451. 08[23:09] * +Chrome_Veneer emptied his dirty water and reiflled it with something more clean, after chugging an amount of water that didn't seem normal for any pony. He went through about five bottles before he decided to fill it up and leave to follow the scent to the kitchen. Noticing Honeycomb had already entered before him.
  452. 08[23:09] * +Lemon_Cookie spots Sample curled in some corner.
  453. 08[23:10] * +Sample_Text is still snorring, or at least trying to sound like she's snoring
  454. 12[23:10] <~Damhoof|GM> "Hi Lemon_Cookie." Flour tilts his head. "This mare is strange. She`s lying on a corner. Do you think she`s sick?"
  455. [23:11] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I already hate 'em."
  456. 08[23:11] * +Mayhem carries the dirty sheets over to the room with the washing machines and throws them into one of the two with a disgusted look on her face. Turning it on, she let's out a relived sigh. "Oh blimey, I need something ta drink."
  457. 08[23:12] * +Sample_Text snores harder
  458. [23:12] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Probably not," Lemon says to Flour.
  459. [23:12] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sample," he says, nudging her with a hoof. "Ya' want some water?"
  460. 08[23:12] * +Blueberry_Muffin notices that Mayhem is missing. She finishes making her bed and places her teddy bear on it to mark it. She then heads to the dining room."
  461. 12[23:13] <~Damhoof|GM> "Then why is she lying on the floor and not on a bedding?" Flour asks Lemon. "I saw somepony lie down like that and my mom said they were ill, but they werent making any sounds at all."
  462. [23:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "It could be that she's really tired."
  463. 08[23:14] * +Chrome_Veneer looks around the kitchen finding something that abundant to eat. He didn't want to grab something of which there was few of, since that meant less for other ponies after all.
  464. 08[23:14] * +Blueberry_Muffin arrives at the dining hall and quickly proceeds into the kitchens "Oh. Hello there miss Honeycomb."
  465. [23:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... or it could be that she wants to be left alone."
  466. 08[23:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin gets to the faucet and drinks two bottles of water which she immedeatly refills with pure water.
  467. 12[23:15] <~Damhoof|GM> The dining room is rather large looking with tables and chairs set about in a U shaped fashion, and molten rock to step over. The kitchen seem at least passable, with some white rock still intact and honeycomb leaning over a pot of stew. She greets Blueberry with a wave of her hoof. "Miss Muffin." She acknowledges Blueberry.
  468. 08[23:15] * +Mayhem decides that the most obvious place to find something to drink was the kitchen. She heads right there.
  469. 08[23:16] * +Lemon_Cookie decides to wait a few moments to see if Sample_Text reacts, motioning for Flour to be quiet.
  470. 08[23:16] * +Chrome_Veneer just decided to continue looking around the kitchen then?
  471. 12[23:16] <~Damhoof|GM> "Aaaw. I hate quiet. The oceans were never quiet." Flour pouts and looks up at Lemon_Cookie.
  472. 08[23:17] * +Lemon_Cookie gives Flour a somewhat stern look.
  473. [23:17] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I,uhm...don't want to pry or be uncouth, but what do you normally charge?"
  474. 08[23:17] * +Sample_Text doesn't really do anything different
  475. 08[23:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin feels a bit awkward asking
  476. 08[23:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin also forgot er accent there for a moment
  477. 08[23:18] * +Chrome_Veneer is wondering what Blueberry is asking Honeycomb about, has no idea.
  478. 12[23:19] <~Damhoof|GM> "Three thousand." Honeycomb smiles at Blueberry_Muffin and pours herself a bowl of stew.
  479. [23:20] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Oh, damn. I can't afford that."
  480. 08[23:21] * +Mayhem walks inn the kitchen and croaks "Honey, are you in here?"
  481. 08[23:21] * +Sample_Text twitches after the silence settles in and slowly opens her eyes, "Lemon? Um, foal?"
  482. 08[23:21] * +Blueberry_Muffin smiles awkwardly "I see. Uhm, yeah..."
  483. 08[23:21] * +Lemon_Cookie decides Sample is either really asleep, or doesn't want to talk to either of th-- never mind.
  484. [23:21] <+Sample_Text> "Why'
  485. [23:21] <+Sample_Text> 're you in my room?"
  486. 08[23:21] * +Chrome_Veneer can't get to the stew while Honeycomb is in the way, but patiently waits without asking.
  487. [23:21] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... Sample, this is an empty, dirty library."
  488. [23:21] <+Sample_Text> "It isn't that dirty."
  489. 12[23:21] <~Damhoof|GM> "No you can`t." Honeycomb laughs a golden laugh and presents the bowl of stew. "I`m in here Mayflower. Theres some oat and carrot stew for you. A bit boring but thats what they made."
  490. [23:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "There are burned book pieces everywhere. It's dirty."
  491. [23:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Flour, Sample," Lemon says, introducing the two. "Sample, Flour."
  492. 08[23:22] * +Blueberry_Muffin is glad for the change of topic "Dinner, huh?"
  493. 12[23:23] <~Damhoof|GM> "I`m Flour." The albino zebra colt presents himself to Sample_text. "You are Sample?"
  494. 08[23:24] * +Sample_Text nods groggily
  495. 12[23:24] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb hands her bowl over to Chrome_Veneer. "You have the look of somepony recently in love. Lucky."
  496. 08[23:24] * +Mayhem "I can't say no to that. But me needs something ta drink first." coughs because of dry troat
  497. [23:24] <+Sample_Text> "They're mostly on the shelves."
  498. 08[23:24] * +Lemon_Cookie offers his canteen to Sample.
  499. [23:25] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' really ought ta' pick a better room. Maybe one with a bed."
  500. 12[23:25] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour licks his lips and looks at Lemon_Cookie. "Uhm. Where did you get water?"
  501. 08[23:25] * +Chrome_Veneer ears perk up, "I love?" He asked, not quite sure what she meant. He did have a feel that he knew what she meant though. Either way, he accepted the bowl with his mouth, pulling it somewhere else and setting it down to eat from. "Thank you."
  502. [23:25] <+Sample_Text> "Bed?"
  503. 08[23:25] * +Sample_Text eyes the canteen, "That's water?"
  504. 08[23:26] * +Blueberry_Muffin approaches Mayhem and whispers "She costs three gran' per night. Is it worth it?"
  505. 08[23:26] * +Lemon_Cookie uncaps it.
  506. 12[23:26] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb pulls out more bowls for Mayhem, Blueberry_Muffin and herself. "It is alright Blueberry_Muffin. The money was more because of reputation and rank rather than skill in bed."
  507. [23:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Purified. I just had some."
  508. [23:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Got water in the dining hall, Flour."
  509. 08[23:27] * +Mayhem is just speechless for a moment then turns red.
  510. [23:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "There's a big tower that has a faucet on it."
  511. 08[23:27] * +Sample_Text sniffs it
  512. 12[23:28] <~Damhoof|GM> Sample_text smells the rather cooled water.
  513. 08[23:28] * +Lemon_Cookie drinks a little himself, then offers it back again.
  514. 12[23:29] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour ghasps. "A big tower with a faucet? Omigosh. Can you show me?"
  515. 08[23:29] * +Sample_Text takes a small sip
  516. [23:31] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I figure we'll all go together. I smelled a bit a' dinner when I was over there."
  517. [23:32] <+Sample_Text> "I'll catch up in a second," she clarifies, "Need to regain my senses."
  518. 12[23:32] <~Damhoof|GM> "I wonder what scorched this place." Honeycomb sniffs her bowl and with a flourish produces a rather delicate silver spoon from her bags before heading out into the dining room to eat. "It doesn`t taste half bad, though its creamed with spice."
  519. 08[23:33] * +Blueberry_Muffin gets back to the counter to pic up her bowl "Probably a balefire bomb."
  520. 08[23:34] * +Chrome_Veneer doesn't eat it nearly so carefully, just skarfing what is there and heading back to the colt's room. Or at least the room with the bed of which he'd cleaned~ on his way though he stopped by the water seeing Sample_Text nearby. Holding his filled bottle his hi mouth he set it beside him on the ground and waited for a turn to get more water. He'd already drank so much... what was he a camel?
  521. [23:34] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Alright. Ya' want ta' drink outta' my canteen fa' a bit?"
  522. 08[23:37] * +Mayhem "I get meself something ta drink and be back in a second."
  523. 08[23:37] * +Mayhem walks out to the fountain to refresh herself
  524. [23:38] <+Sample_Text> "I'll refill it for you."
  525. [23:39] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thanks. I'll see ya', then."
  526. 08[23:39] * +Lemon_Cookie turns to go to the dining area.
  527. [23:39] <+Lemon_Cookie> "C'mon, Flour."
  528. 12[23:39] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour looks at Lemon_Cookie. "Alright!"
  529. 08[23:39] * +Sample_Text lays back down as soon as the colts leave.
  530. 08[23:39] * +Chrome_Veneer finishes chuugging another ton of water before moving out of the way at the nearing Mayhem.
  531. 08[23:40] * +Mayhem "Thanks Chrome." bends down to drink
  532. 08[23:40] * +Blueberry_Muffin picks up her bowl and heads out into the dining room where she sits down to eat
  533. 12[23:41] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb sits down on the dining room and looks up at a charred chandelier with some interest while modestly eating this strange mix of oats, spices and carrots.
  534. 08[23:41] * +Sample_Text produces a potato from somewhere on her person along with a knife.
  535. 08[23:42] * +Chrome_Veneer is done, he just wanted to go rest. "I'm... going to go lay down for a while." He nodded to Mayhem before leaving to head back to his magically cleaned bed. Still ignorant of what Blueberry had found to clean the sheets.
  536. 08[23:42] * +Sample_Text cuts it in half before the nomming starts. Throw in most of the water, and Sample starts to slowly drift back to sleep.
  537. 08[23:43] * +Chrome_Veneer one there, he puts the bottle filled with clean water in his bag and lays down upon the bed. Reluctantly at first, and the smell of the neighboring beds bothered him but he'd endure. He was tired... Strained at least.
  538. 08[23:43] * +Mayhem finishes drinking and heads back to the kitchen to get herself some stew.
  539. 12[23:43] <~Damhoof|GM> Mayhem can feel the cooling water pass her by and a refreshed state of mind whisks away her dehydation.
  540. 12[23:45] <~Damhoof|GM> "Lemon_Cookie is your brother?" Honeycomb asks Blueberry_Muffin before putting the silver spoon of stew in her mouth. Nibbling at it thoughtfully.
  541. 12[23:50] <~Damhoof|GM> Mayhem finds the cauldron and stew sufficiently heated.
  542. 08[23:51] * +Lemon_Cookie walks out to the dining hall, intent on some food.
  543. 08[23:51] * +Mayhem comes back into the dining hall with a stew and sits down next Honeycomb
  544. [23:51] <+Mayhem> "Ahh, finally somethin' good ta eat."
  545. 12[23:51] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour follows in Lemon_cookies hoofsteps and waves to Mayhem and Honeycomb. "I`m ready to chow down too!"
  546. 12[23:53] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb laughs and smiles at Mayhem after nodding at Lemon_Cookie and waving back at Flour. "It has a certain rugged taste."
  547. 08[23:54] * +Mayhem "But atleast it is not fish again." chugs down some stew
  548. [23:55] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Three days is hardly long enough ta' get tired a' fish," Lemon mumbles.
  549. 08[23:55] * +Chrome_Veneer falls asleep, his strain getting to him.
  550. 12[23:55] * ~Damhoof|GM the gold coated unicorn mare nods at Mayhem while putting another spoon in her mouth. "Variety is certainly appreciated."
  551. 12[23:56] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb puts out a few of the papers to read. "Hmm. We could get access to some fine gear if we indebted ourselves, but that would be foalish this early on."
  552. [23:57] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Possibly."
  553. 08[23:57] * +Lemon_Cookie takes a seat at the table.
  554. [23:57] <+Lemon_Cookie> "What's it say?"
  555. 08[23:57] * +Mayhem frowns a Lemon between two spoons of stew, but says nothing. 'What by tha totems is tha' lad's problem? I didn't do anything ta him.'
  556. 12[23:58] <~Damhoof|GM> "It says they could sponsor us with combat armour and some lowcost rifles. A few explosives too. If we took a small job for them regarding a zebra ruin."
  557. [23:58] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sitting riiiiiiiiiight in front of you," Lemon mumbles, craning his neck to see the contract.
  558. [23:58] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm."
  559. 12[19:10] <~Damhoof|GM> -----------------------------------------------------------------------Session4--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  560. 12[19:10] <~Damhoof|GM> Ready to depart into the city of Constantinomare some of the party might look to Honeycomb along with the pampered and embarassed Flour, but the mare shrugs and looks to Ishmael. “I have yet to visit this place. Truly the captain offered to take me for a tour. Since he is indisposed I guess you would have to do.”
  561. 12[19:11] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael shrugs in response to her demand, and looks to the harbour in front of them. Rows of anonymous structures greet him in turn. All built by rock and stone to withstand assaults from enemy ships. “I suppose.” He mutters and points towards the left side of the giant harbour and a large mountainous hillsection with holes in it. "That is an iron mine known as the Arsenal. They dug it like a defensible structure before the war ended, but found ores and began mining it for convenience. The crone that healed Lemon Cookie separated weapon trade and regular trade some time ago, and thats where you trade weapons and armour." He then points towards the shining castleforged walls rising above the regular structures in the middle of the harbour. The roof of the castle still shining with gold. "Thats the Hagia Sophia. The crone lives there, along with the important lords and some fancy knights calling themselves Praetors. Whatever."
  562. [19:13] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "So she's not just some fancy shaman?"
  563. 12[19:14] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael shakes his head at Blueberry_Muffin and points a hoof turns towards the stretching beach and long stretching rows of houses following the beach at the right side of the ship. "Thats the rest. The guilds, their rather small arena and the markets. That was where you intended to go right? The ocean brothers set up business with some merchant that lives there." Honeycomb nods. "Shining Instrument I believe his name was."
  564. 08[19:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin beams "Ohhh, shopping!"
  565. 15[19:15] * f1r3w4rr10r is now known as Mayhem
  566. 15[19:15] * Damhoof|GM sets mode: +v Mayhem
  567. 15[19:15] * Looking up Mayhem user info...
  568. 08[19:15] * +Lemon_Cookie has washed himself and his armor. He's nice and clean now, saddlebags affixed to his midsection.
  569. 08[19:16] * +Chrome_Veneer was still staring out in to the water, thinking about the Sea Pony that just passed by and what his course of action should be. For now he'd likely travel with the a group, until he figured something out. Those ponies from earlier... Blueberry and her brother, and a few others seemed to have something in mind.
  570. 08[19:16] * +Lemon_Cookie The buck walks over to his sister.
  571. 08[19:17] * +Sample_Text has also showered and redressed. After leaving the bathroom, she hasn't reappeared on deck.
  572. 12[19:17] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael puts a hoof on the gangway and threads it along with Honeycomb. The golden mare puts a hoof up and points towards a large carriage being pulled by four zebra. "Thats ours. Assuming everypony follows me then there`s room for you too."
  573. 08[19:18] * +Mayhem follows behind Honeycomb and watches around, taking the cityscape in in awe. "They sure haev some explosives to sell up in those mines..."
  574. [19:19] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... interestin'."
  575. 08[19:21] * +Sample_Text peaks out of her room, eyes nervously sweeping the deck.
  576. 08[19:23] * +Lemon_Cookie is impassive. He looks looks on the city with eyes weighted with the momentum of several days of bad moods.
  577. 08[19:24] * +Blueberry_Muffin watches the skyline in awe
  578. 08[19:24] * +Chrome_Veneer finds the city less dazzling that it should have been to him.
  579. 08[19:24] * +Lemon_Cookie loosens his collar.
  580. 08[19:25] * +Sample_Text creeps out of the room towards the galley.
  581. 12[19:25] <~Damhoof|GM> "Most likely. They sell all sorts of weapons in The Arsenal." Ishmael nods at Mayhem and presents the awaiting carriage to Honeycomb. "What about you fellows. Got everything you want?"
  582. [19:25] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Hey, Lemon, check out tha' skyline."
  583. [19:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I am, sis."
  584. 08[19:26] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't look very impressed.
  585. 08[19:26] * +Lemon_Cookie He sighs and turns his head, looking down the beach.
  586. [19:27] <+Mayhem> "I got everything. And I would really like to see the city."
  587. [19:28] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I want ta' see tha' Bazaar and tha' Arsenal."
  588. [19:28] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Let's go, then."
  589. [19:28] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We're broke."
  590. 08[19:28] * +Sample_Text tip-toes behind the gangway gang
  591. 15[19:29] * Sample_Text is now known as Sammple_Lunch
  592. [19:30] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I got sixty caps."
  593. [19:30] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Not sure if they use caps, but they're good money somewhere, so they might be good money here ta' somepony."
  594. 08[19:31] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Hey, I actually got some cash!"
  595. 12[19:31] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb pushes Flour into the awaiting Carraige and looks to Mayhem. "I would like to explore too, but first I would like to talk with Mister Instrument about lodgings for our companions, and secure ourselves some work. Spending your last caps with no prospective income seems foalish."
  596. [19:32] <+Mayhem> "Oh I agree on tha'. I will come with ye then."
  597. [19:33] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thanks fa' that commentary there, miss," Lemon deadpans.
  598. 08[19:33] * +Chrome_Veneer enoticed the golden pony moving for the carriage, others nearby he moved a little closer to the formed group. At the mention of caps, he looked in to his saddlebags, short on money and exhausted.
  599. 08[19:33] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "I'm with Miss Mayhem here."
  600. 08[19:33] * +Lemon_Cookie looks to Blueberry.
  601. [19:33] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We goin' or what?"
  602. [19:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sure. Let's get ourselves a job."
  603. 08[19:35] * +Lemon_Cookie turns and walks down the gangplank.
  604. 12[19:35] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb nods at Lemon_Cookie and enters the carriage while Ishmael awaits the party. "I`m not the one deciding your pace."
  605. [19:36] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Wasn't talk ta' ya'," Lemon says only mildly in Honeycomb's direction, watching his step as he descends.
  606. 08[19:36] * +Chrome_Veneer job sounded nice. It would be a good place to start, getting money before focusing on rescue of the Sea Pony.
  607. 08[19:36] * +Blueberry_Muffin trots towards the carriage
  608. 12[19:37] <~Damhoof|GM> Sample_Lunch heads sneakily into the carriage.
  609. [19:38] <+Lemon_Cookie> talkin'*]
  610. 08[19:39] * +Blueberry_Muffin gets into the carriage and looks around
  611. 08[19:39] * +Lemon_Cookie just plods along next to his sister, looking dour.
  612. 08[19:40] * +Mayhem walks up to the carriage, ducking her head. *PLONK* ... Amazingly enough, the doorframe is that small that one of her horns gets stuck ... again. "Oh by tha totems! Not again!" yanks her head free and enters the carriage.
  613. 08[19:40] * +Chrome_Veneer moves forward snickering at Mayhem. In all honestly, he'd bumped his head on things actually designed 'for' ponies, surely this Minotaur haad more trouble than him with things like that.
  614. 08[19:40] * +Chrome_Veneer looked in to the carriage to see how much space was avaialble
  615. [19:40] <+Chrome_Veneer> [available]
  616. 12[19:41] <~Damhoof|GM> The carriage is very spacious with room for ten ponies.
  617. 08[19:41] * +Lemon_Cookie finds a seat reasonably close to his sister and plops down. His face is neutral-- even a little harsh looking with his eyebrows slanted downwards, mouth a thin line.
  618. 08[19:42] * +Chrome_Veneer moves in after the Minotaur, not really minding where he sits
  619. 08[19:42] * +Blueberry_Muffin moves a bit closer to Lemon_Cookie
  620. 08[19:42] * +Lemon_Cookie glances at his sister, then goes back to staring at nothing.
  621. 12[19:43] <~Damhoof|GM> two rowed seats with rather admirable red coated cusions mark the carriage as a wooden old world wonder. No doubt restored or fournished out of an old outdated model, yet fully functional.
  622. 08[19:43] * +Lemon_Cookie Why the hell did they think this trip would be a good idea?
  623. 08[19:43] * +Blueberry_Muffin nugdes her brother with her muzzles and cuddles him a bit.
  624. 08[19:44] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't react besides scratching his face slightly. His collar glows for a second, tightening back up again.
  625. 08[19:45] * +Mayhem sits down next to Honeycomb and puts an arm around the mare
  626. 12[19:45] <~Damhoof|GM> With everyone having taken their seats Ishmael closes the doors and takes a seat to direct the zebra pulling the cart, and the carriage is soon to start.
  627. 08[19:45] * +Lemon_Cookie His armor covers almost his entire body, all the way up to where his neck ends and his head begins.
  628. 08[19:46] * +Lemon_Cookie scratches the smooth, fully healed spot where his wound used to be. He thinks he ought to get a helmet.
  629. [19:47] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Where we headed first?" Lemon asks, eyes looking nowhere in particular.
  630. 08[19:47] * +Blueberry_Muffin cuddles her brother more, trying to offer some peace
  631. 12[19:48] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb serves Blueberry_Muffin a smile and points towards Flour. The colt is busy looking out of a small window. "I`ll need you to look after him while i settle things with Shining Intrument. Hopefully I`ll be able to secure us a building to utilise on our own given that we have a minotaur."
  632. 08[19:48] * +Lemon_Cookie gently pushes her slightly away with a hoof.
  633. [19:48] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Not helpin', sis," he mutters.
  634. 08[19:49] * +Blueberry_Muffin frowns but then smiles at Flour
  635. 08[19:50] * +Lemon_Cookie exhales, reclining as much as possible in his carriage seat.
  636. [19:51] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Flour, do you know a good game we could play?"
  637. 08[19:52] * +Mayhem turns to Honeycomb "What do you mean by that?"
  638. 12[19:52] <~Damhoof|GM> "All my games are seagames. Unless you want a song." Flour giggles and looks out the window again. "Wrinkly zebra!" He suddenly shouts.
  639. 08[19:53] * +Chrome_Veneer is simply waiting patiently, wondering what it would take to be allowed to visit the 'Crone' and if so, what it would take to get the Sea Pony and perhaps her sister returned to the Sea. Britania had mentioned the Constantinomare but he wasn't confident enough there... he would still find a way.
  640. 15[19:53] * Sammple_Lunch is now known as Sample_Text
  641. 12[19:53] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb looks to Mayhem. "Why Miss Mayflower, you require a bigger bed, and I might pass us off as a small mercenary band. Which would entitle us to certain priviledges."
  642. 08[19:54] * +Lemon_Cookie looks over at the small, white colt, face betraying amusement at the little foal's silliness.
  643. [19:56] <+Mayhem> "Ah ok tha' makes sense."
  644. [19:57] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "What kind a' priviliges?"
  645. 08[19:57] * +Chrome_Veneer looked at the others, they all seemed so eager to press on, but Chrome had many things to worry about. Getting a financial base was an obvious place to start for trying to rescue Britania, but even before 'that' he was visibily exhausted, but didn't want to slow anypony down.
  646. 12[19:59] <~Damhoof|GM> "That is. If you feel comfortable being passed off as a mercenary band." Honeycombs lithe smile seems almost meant for Mayhem, but the mare quickly turns to Blueberry_Muffin. "Such as our own quaters, better pay, and possible side missions that pay more than just guarding brahmin would have. Though it does require a fair bit of additional effort on my part."
  647. 08[19:59] * +Sample_Text sulks in the back of the carriage. She didn't really want to go into the city at all, business or no. Seemed like they should describe Constantinomare a little better in the literature.
  648. [20:00] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Huh. Sounds good ta' me. Whatcha say, bro?"
  649. 08[20:01] * +Mayhem grins back at Honeycomb "No pain, no gain, as me mother always said. I am happy ta help ye in any way I can."
  650. [20:01] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Seems like we'd owe her one," he says, looking at Honeycomb with his maintained impassivity.
  651. [20:01] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Certainly sounds like tha' best choice at tha' moment."
  652. 12[20:02] <~Damhoof|GM> "What a lovely sentiment miss. Mayflower. I`ll have you all know that I appreciate your assistance in this matter. You are too good to me."
  653. 08[20:02] * +Lemon_Cookie narrows his eyes at Honeycomb for a moment, when he thinks she can't see him, then resumes his normal expression.
  654. 08[20:03] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't really mind much, he'd been used to doing all sorts of things as favors for everypony such that being a mercenary didn't really seem to bother him too much. As long as he could have a break, he was outright exhausted, head head felt heavy because of it. ... No his horn, specifically his horn.
  655. [20:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Wanna talk Lemon?"
  656. 08[20:06] * +Lemon_Cookie looks over at Blueberry.
  657. [20:06] <+Lemon_Cookie> "'Bout what?"
  658. [20:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "'Bout what happened."
  659. [20:07] <+Lemon_Cookie> "'Bout what happened wh--"
  660. 08[20:07] * +Lemon_Cookie just rolls his eyes and sighs, looking away.
  661. 08[20:08] * +Blueberry_Muffin nugdes Lemon_Cookie with a hoof "C'mon, talk to me." She has a sad expression on her face
  662. [20:08] <+Lemon_Cookie> "About /what/?" he says, annoyed and scowling slightly. "Be specific."
  663. [20:09] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "About everythin'. You know wha' I mean."
  664. [20:10] <+Lemon_Cookie> "That's not specific, sis."
  665. 08[20:10] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't look amused.
  666. [20:11] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uhm...You're jaw an' everythin'."
  667. 12[20:13] <~Damhoof|GM> The carriage drags into a halt and Ishmael knocks on the small window in front of the carriage. Honeycomb looks to the group with a somewhat hesitant look. "So thats it then? Everypony in favour of being mercenaries? At least its a start. I`ll try to stall and get housing so we can discuss it thoroughly for a few days."
  668. 08[20:13] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods at Honeycomb "Sure."
  669. [20:13] <+Mayhem> "Count me in, too."
  670. [20:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Uh-huh," Lemon says, looking in the other direction.
  671. 08[20:14] * +Chrome_Veneer tries asking something directed toward Honeycombs, but not loudly as he didn't want it to be questioned why, "One quick question, earlier you mentioned something about knights and lords... what would it take to speak to the Crone about something?"
  672. 08[20:14] * +Sample_Text keeps quiet
  673. 12[20:14] <~Damhoof|GM> "And by it i mean the contract we can all Agree on." Honeycomb looks to Sample_text and Chrome_Veneer. "I don`t know. I heard she takes in audiences and holds court at least once a week."
  674. 08[20:15] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, he would just have to go up himself and see if he could seek her audience. "As for the mercenary thing, I'll agree to pretty much anything, I'm used to taking on favors."
  675. [20:16] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "C'mon bor, what's wrong?"
  676. [20:17] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *bro
  677. [20:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Lots a' things, sis."
  678. [20:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Lots a' things."
  679. 12[20:17] <~Damhoof|GM> "Alright then. Take care of Flour while I go settle things with Shining Instrument." She mumbles as Ishmael opens the carriage. The youthfull stallion nods to Honeycomb as she gets up to leave. "We`ll be using this carriage again but feel free to stretch your legs."
  680. 08[20:19] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't take any time jumping out on that offer, he felt cramped in the carriage. It was spacious but... well he shouldn't complain, probably better off than a certain larger non-pony in the group.
  681. 08[20:19] * +Blueberry_Muffin gets up and sits down next to Flour "So you know many songs?"
  682. 08[20:20] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't look to see his sister go.
  683. 12[20:21] <~Damhoof|GM> The golden mare is first to descend from the carriage. Grabbing only her purse. The area outside is a very basic paved road with unimpressive and rather similarily designed clay houseing.
  684. 08[20:21] * +Sample_Text deliberately makes for the carriage door.
  685. 08[20:21] * +Lemon_Cookie pokes his head out of the carriage to see what the road's paved with.
  686. 08[20:22] * +Sample_Text stops short when Lemon takes up the whole damn thing.
  687. 12[20:23] <~Damhoof|GM> The albino colt smiles at Blueberry_Muffin. "Yoho! Yoho! Sea and sailors! Hoist your roger high! Yoho! Yoho! Sea and tremors, never shall we die!" Tonedeaf and rather out of sync with the song he grinds to a halt and gives his best smile to the impressionable mare. "I never sung alone before.."
  688. 08[20:23] * +Lemon_Cookie found the window inadequate. Sue him.
  689. 08[20:23] * +Lemon_Cookie winces slightly at Flour's singing.
  690. 12[20:24] <~Damhoof|GM> The roads are paved with a white stone that seems to have yellowed with age.
  691. 08[20:24] * +Lemon_Cookie Fortunately, he's looking away.
  692. 08[20:24] * +Blueberry_Muffin giggles and starts to sinf along, equally bad
  693. [20:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... hey, Sample. Didn't see ya' walk in."
  694. 12[20:24] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb heads into one of the larger clay houses, leaving the party with Ishmael to guard the carriage and keep the companions company.
  695. 08[20:25] * +Mayhem shouts after Honeycomb "Shall I accompany you?"
  696. 08[20:25] * +Chrome_Veneer stretches his long legs out, sudden movement causing him to remember his magic-related exhaustion.
  697. [20:25] <+Sample_Text> "I'd like to walk out, Lemon, if you don't mind. Some ofus have business to conduct."
  698. 12[20:25] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb sticks her head out the door and shakes her head at Mayhem. "It`ll be better if I do this alone."
  699. 08[20:25] * +Sample_Text does a pretty good job of keeping the fear out of her voice.
  700. [20:25] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... but we're basically in tha' middle a' nowhere."
  701. [20:25] <+Mayhem> "Ok. Good luck te you then."
  702. 08[20:26] * +Lemon_Cookie looks curiously at Sample.
  703. 08[20:26] * +Lemon_Cookie His bad mood doesn't really seem to extend to her.
  704. 08[20:26] * +Sample_Text frowns, "Thank you, for the update."
  705. 12[20:26] <~Damhoof|GM> "Its not Nowhere." Ishmael frowns at Lemon_Cookie. "See the sign over there." Its five caps on it. Merchant street number five. They keep it very simple here."
  706. [20:27] <+Sample_Text> "It doesn't look /promising/ per say, but if there are mercenaries chances are there may be the right kind of merchant as well."
  707. [20:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... tha' right kind bein'--?"
  708. 08[20:28] * +Sample_Text frowns harder, "The right kind."
  709. 08[20:29] * +Lemon_Cookie tunes Ishmael out.
  710. 12[20:29] <~Damhoof|GM> "Not many ponies chose to march down here when the Ocean brothers sat up shop and began ferrying folks. Only the Instruments ever managed to make some serious cash in the brahmin business, but there are a few merchant zebra groups. Mostly Spices and olives, and they dont look too kindly on immigrants."
  711. [20:29] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I don' think there are any arms merchants around, Sample. Said they were all up in tha' mines."
  712. 08[20:29] * +Sample_Text sighs
  713. 08[20:30] * +Blueberry_Muffin cuddles Flour "Say, Ishmael, what kind a' merchant can we find here?"
  714. [20:30] <+Sample_Text> "Nevermind then. Spices are promising, but, eh."
  715. 08[20:30] * +Sample_Text sighs, "Why do I need an arms merchant? I have my weapons already."
  716. 08[20:30] * +Chrome_Veneer doesn't have any money yet anyway.
  717. 08[20:30] * +Chrome_Veneer could use some extra water bottles
  718. 12[20:30] <~Damhoof|GM> "Thats because there arent any arms merchants." Ishmael shrugs. "The shaman control arms trafficing and ammo trade."
  719. [20:31] <+Lemon_Cookie> "S'chiefly what I think a' when thinkin' mercs," Lemon says, shrugging.
  720. 08[20:31] * +Sample_Text goes back to her seat
  721. 12[20:32] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour cuddles with Blueberry_Muffin. "You suck at singing too."
  722. [20:32] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We could need some better guns if we wanna pass off as mercs."
  723. 12[20:33] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael laughs at Blueberry_Muffin. "Thats probably why Miss Honeycomb, never bothered to invite you to tag along with her."
  724. 08[20:33] * +Lemon_Cookie walks back over to the spot he'd previously occupied.
  725. 08[20:34] * +Blueberry_Muffin strokes Flours white mane "You're probably right."
  726. 08[20:34] * +Chrome_Veneer was finished stretching, and looked around for the distant Hagia Sophia to see if he could spot it from where he was.
  727. 08[20:35] * +Lemon_Cookie looks over at Blueberry, as if about to say something, then sighs and lets it go, turning away again.
  728. 12[20:36] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_veneer can spot the impressive castle forged walls of the hagia Sophia looming above the city buildings. A massive wall with gold gleaming roof bathed in sunlight. You could say that the size of it keeps half the city in the shade depending on what time it is.
  729. 08[20:37] * +Chrome_Veneer stares up at the large building with awe. It was different from what it looked back, back at the sea... or maybe his focus was just shifted on something more liquid? In any case, "So what is everypony going to do?"
  730. 12[20:37] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uhu." Flour nods at Blueberry_Muffin. "Thats nice of you to say."
  731. 08[20:38] * +Lemon_Cookie sits, stewing in his own thoughts.
  732. [20:39] <+Sample_Text> "Do about what, Chrome?"
  733. 08[20:39] * +Mayhem looks at Chrome_Veneer "Me reckon, we see what Honeycomb comes back with. Maybe we already get a job."
  734. [20:39] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... I hope her negotiations are expedient," Lemon mumbles.
  735. 08[20:40] * +Chrome_Veneer was conflicted, or rather worried about his utility when he was so strained but wouldn't slow anypony down by revealing it. "I suppose, it sounded to me like it might take a while." And he was impatient in his desire to progress toward finding some way to help Britania and her sister.
  736. 12[20:40] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb exits the building carrying a small stack of papers, and looks to the party with a big smile on her face. "Scoore!" She giggles.
  737. 08[20:41] * +Chrome_Veneer "Fast..."
  738. [20:42] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Oh joy. Legal documents."
  739. 08[20:43] * +Blueberry_Muffin snickers at her brother "It can't be worse than back home."
  740. 12[20:43] <~Damhoof|GM> "Yes, well. Its not finalized." Honeycomb looks at Chrome_Veneer with a forgiving smile. "They eh, seemed very appreciative that we`d come all this way after having heard of their reputation, and will rent out their houseing to us for a few days so we could consider the contract, but because you didn`t meet in person there will be an evaluation of our abilities before contract singing."
  741. [20:43] <+Lemon_Cookie> "They'd better be in The Princesses' Own."
  742. [20:44] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Evaluation of our abilities?"
  743. 08[20:44] * +Chrome_Veneer laughed a bit hesitantly, "Hopefully we have some time to rest before then? I'm not quite ready to do much strenuous work."
  744. [20:45] <+Mayhem> "Me hopes it's not herding brahmin."
  745. [20:45] <+Lemon_Cookie> "What Blueberry said."
  746. 12[20:45] <~Damhoof|GM> "We`ll be staying at a noble mansion that was won over by the previous mercenary group to seek Zebra lands." Honeycomb looks to Ishmael with some confusion. "Wolf Manor they called it."
  747. [20:47] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... not an answer ta' tha' question we were askin'," Lemon says, flicking his gaze to Blueberry for a moment, then looking at Honeycomb.
  748. 12[20:47] <~Damhoof|GM> "Wow." Ishmael whistles. "I think I know the place."
  749. 08[20:48] * +Lemon_Cookie impatiently waits for an answer.
  750. 12[20:51] <~Damhoof|GM> "Yes evaluation." Honeycomb nods at Lemon_Cookie. "its not much. They said once they had confirmed the seawitch rumors then they would probably just give us a small task that fit our abilities. We never really spoke much of it."
  751. [20:51] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sounds...intersstin'
  752. [20:51] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thanks fa' lookin' out fa' us," Lemon says neutrally.
  753. [20:51] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *"
  754. 08[20:52] * +Chrome_Veneer perked up at the mention, "Sea Witch?"
  755. 12[20:53] <~Damhoof|GM> "The black cell besides the regular sea pony." Honeycomb nods for the carriage. "Lets head to this Wolf manor and get our stuff quatered in."
  756. [20:55] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uh-huh. Sounds good ta' me. Whatcha say, Flour?"
  757. 08[20:55] * +Chrome_Veneer laughed hesitantly. It wasn't that he didn't know about it... just that anything that even remotedly mentioned Sea Ponies, even referring to something he knew, caused his attention to become focused on that alone. "Any idea how long before they... confirm the rumors?
  758. 12[20:56] <~Damhoof|GM> "Probably not long." Honeycomb gets into the carriage and looks to the others. "The crone never was one to keep those things secret."
  759. 12[20:57] <~Damhoof|GM> "Probably not long." Honeycomb gets into the carriage and looks to the others. "The crone didn`t look like one to keep things secret. What with that gaudy cloak you`d see her from a mile away."
  760. 08[20:57] * +Blueberry_Muffin snickers "An' those sunglasses."
  761. 08[20:58] * +Sample_Text shivers
  762. 08[20:58] * +Mayhem laughs "You mean swagcrona?"
  763. 08[20:59] * +Lemon_Cookie isn't amused.
  764. [20:59] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Can we get on with this?"
  765. [21:00] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "C'mon bro, lighten up a bit."
  766. 08[21:00] * +Mayhem looks at Lemon "Oh come on Lemon, ge tha' stick out o' yer plot."
  767. 08[21:02] * +Lemon_Cookie narrows his eyes.
  768. 12[21:02] <~Damhoof|GM> The carriage starts to move once more, as Ishmael takes his position in the front. Honeycomb briefly puts a hoof towards Lemon_Cookie. "I`ll let you see the contracts once they have been drafted. Be honest with me, and share any grievance you have and I`ll take it into account."
  769. [21:03] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sounds good."
  770. 08[21:03] * +Lemon_Cookie turns to Mayhem.
  771. [21:04] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... an' don't talk ta' me like ya' know me."
  772. 08[21:04] * +Chrome_Veneer wanted to say he had no grievances, but admittedly, he was worried that their rumors of turning in sea ponies would be correlated to them having a contract realted to them. "So now we're headed to?"
  773. [21:05] <+Mayhem> "Whoa there, hothead. Hold yer horses. I am just trying ta cheer ye up."
  774. 08[21:07] * +Lemon_Cookie scowls at Mayhem for a short bit, then looks elsewhere.
  775. 12[21:08] <~Damhoof|GM> "Wolf manor. It used to be owned by the olive merchants, but they put it out as an arena prize to pay off their debts." Honeycomb looks to Lemon_Cookie. "We don`t know each others. This is true, but I hope to one day get to know you better. Please forgive them their rash words."
  776. [21:09] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I may forget them in time," he says.
  777. [21:09] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Mayhem's right though. You need ta' lighten up a bit. Surely the worls will look differently tomorrow."
  778. 08[21:10] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, "Heh" with the obvious tension between certain ponies, "Still, for the present it might be a good idea to be less aggressive with those you might' be working with."
  779. [21:11] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I know /exactly/ what I'm doin', an' that's suggestin' ya' all keep 'ya distance."
  780. [21:12] <+Lemon_Cookie> ya'*]
  781. [21:13] <+Mayhem> "Ok fine. Be that way. By tha' totems, some ponies..."
  782. 12[21:16] <~Damhoof|GM> "I can understand his grievances." Honeycomb looks to Mayhem and BLueberry_Tart. "It has been completely uncouth of me to drag you with me and promote you on my behalf."
  783. 12[21:17] <~Damhoof|GM> The carriage grinds to a halt once more and Ishmael taps the front window. "Get your stuff Miss Honeycomb. We`re here."
  784. [21:18] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "It'S quite alright I guess. Me and my brother have ta' solve some issues, tha's all."
  785. 12[21:19] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael opens the door for the party to exit and draws a grin. "Wolf manor is our final destination together. May I have a farewell kiss from a faire maiden miss Blueberry."
  786. 08[21:19] * +Chrome_Veneer waits until the golden pony gets out before stepping out of the carriage himself. He stumbles over himself at Ishmael's comment though. Embarassing pony never fails to deliver.
  787. 08[21:20] * +Blueberry_Muffin raises an eyebrow "A farewell kiss?"
  788. 08[21:20] * +Sample_Text stands
  789. 08[21:21] * +Blueberry_Muffin rolls her eyes "I guess I owe ya' somethin' fa' gettin' me that luxury suite."
  790. 08[21:21] * +Lemon_Cookie shifts from his seat.
  791. 12[21:21] <~Damhoof|GM> The manor seems built by large blocks of the same white stone that covered the streets, except its been charred black by some unseemingly force. Some of the stone even appears to be melted with each others in a black fusion. As if the house was struck temporarily by a welding beam.
  792. [21:21] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' don't owe him a thing," he mumbles, walking for the exit.
  793. 08[21:22] * +Blueberry_Muffin throws Lemon_Cookie a slightly annoyed look. She was very well capable of deciding who to kiss and who not to kiss.
  794. 08[21:23] * +Blueberry_Muffin gives Ishmael a smooch on the muzzle. Mostly to annoy her brother.
  795. 08[21:23] * +Lemon_Cookie is leaving for that exact reason. He doesn't have to watch.
  796. 08[21:23] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, "We don't all have to do that... do we?" He asked Blueberry_Muffin as a joke, he was a bit with her brother on the whole 'appeasing Ishmael' thing.
  797. 12[21:23] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael bounces with renewed vigour at Blueberry_Muffins kiss. "Thank you Blueberry_Muffin. I will remember this fondly when I participate in the arena tomorrow."
  798. [21:24] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "If ya' really want ta' do me a favor, then please stay out of tha' arena. It'll only kill ya'."
  799. 08[21:24] * +Mayhem bows down and embraces the small stallion in a crushing hug "Good luck on yer thing in th' arena."
  800. [21:25] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I hope ya' recieve an embarassin', but not particularly grievous injury, Ishmael," Lemon says, giving him a false grin.
  801. 12[21:25] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb laughs and sends Ishmael an air kiss that she throws at him with a marely flourish as Flour makes vomit noises at Blueberry_Muffin. "Gross!"
  802. 08[21:25] * +Blueberry_Muffin chuckles at Flour "One day you'll understand."
  803. 08[21:26] * +Lemon_Cookie regains his dour expression and walks out of the carriage.
  804. 12[21:26] <~Damhoof|GM> Ishmael heaves to catch his breath within Mayhems crushing hug. "Thank you kindly. Enjoy the manor, though I suspect it is somewhat preoccupied by other mercenaries."
  805. 08[21:28] * +Sample_Text steps lightly from the carriage
  806. 08[21:29] * +Chrome_Veneer thinks about the 'other mercenaries', "Hopefully they won't be much trouble, but i don't mind sharing."
  807. 08[21:29] * +Lemon_Cookie thinks he might get along with them better than this group-- especially the minotaur.
  808. 08[21:30] * +Blueberry_Muffin pics up Flour and puts him on her back before exiting the carriage
  809. 12[21:30] <~Damhoof|GM> The party is greeted by the blackened rocks and the heat of the sun. Now they they have left the shadow of the Hagia Sophia behind.
  810. 08[21:30] * +Lemon_Cookie looks down. Dark blue is, perhaps, not the best color to wear in the sun.
  811. 12[21:33] <~Damhoof|GM> Mayhem, Lemon_Cookie, Sample_text and Blueberry_Muffin all feel famished and rather tired from the constant heat of Constantinomare. (-2 Per)
  812. 08[21:34] * +Chrome_Veneer was probably too distracted by his strain to be bothered with the heat.
  813. 08[21:34] * +Lemon_Cookie was already feeling pretty damn shitty. He doesn't notice much change.
  814. 08[21:34] * +Sample_Text officially hates this city. It's official; not just a sinking unease anymore, nope, this city is officially hell.
  815. [21:34] <+Sample_Text> "Let's just go inside."
  816. [21:35] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Agreed."
  817. [21:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Damn this heat."
  818. [21:35] <+Mayhem> "That's no good olden scoltish weather. Let's get in tha' shade, lads."
  819. 08[21:35] * +Sample_Text wilts
  820. 12[21:36] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb steps onto the blackened stone with a trying step and brings her luggage and papers with her. "Mayflower. Mind carrying these." She asks, while presenting her two suitcases to Mayhem.
  821. 08[21:36] * +Lemon_Cookie sweats inside his dark blue police barding. This thing was clearly engineered for a more temperate climate.
  822. 08[21:37] * +Mayhem turns to Honeycomb and grabs the luggage "Hmm, yes sure. Not a problem."
  823. 08[21:37] * +Blueberry_Muffin sweats under her mesh cloak and utility barding
  824. 08[21:38] * +Lemon_Cookie wonders if he'd fare better naked.
  825. 08[21:38] * +Lemon_Cookie His bright coat and mane would do a good job reflecting the light.
  826. 08[21:38] * +Chrome_Veneer moves up to the front of the manor, being sure not to stray too far ahead of Honeycomb.
  827. 08[21:38] * +Sample_Text drags herself and her posessions to the front door.
  828. 08[21:39] * +Lemon_Cookie lugs his saddlebags along.
  829. 12[21:40] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb pushes onward in the sweltering heat of the sun. Her golden fur positively radiating in the light. Sensually greeting the guard with her papers. "Why hello there. We are new here, but they said something about the west wing, and Miss Instruments papers have us staying here for a few days while the contract proposal gets drafted."
  830. 08[21:42] * +Blueberry_Muffin mutters "Miss Instruments? Oh dear..."
  831. 12[21:42] <~Damhoof|GM> The guard looks at the papers and nods. "Alright miss. Honeycomb Blueblood. Just head inside and take the first hallway to the left and we`ll have no trouble. I`ll tell the boss, but you`re welcome to pick rooms for yourselves. Nothing is locked."
  832. 08[21:43] * +Lemon_Cookie stands by his sister and the little colt on her back.
  833. [21:43] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hey," he says to Flour, somewhat tired and sad sounding.
  834. 12[21:43] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb turns around and nods for the rest to follow.
  835. 08[21:44] * +Blueberry_Muffin follows Honeycomb inside
  836. 12[21:44] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour looks up at Lemon_Cookie, some of his cheek matted with blush and sweat. "Hu..Hi." The albino zebra blinks at Lemon_Cookie. "You are a unicorn."
  837. 08[21:44] * +Chrome_Veneer follows Blueberry who follows Honeycomb inside.
  838. [21:45] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yes I am."
  839. [21:45] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm good at magic, if that's what you were wondering," he adds after a moment. "Not all unicorns are."
  840. 08[21:46] * +Lemon_Cookie is already following Blueberry.
  841. 08[21:46] * +Mayhem still walks right next to Honeycomb with the luggage in her hand. This time, she bows extraordinarily deep down to avoid the doorframe. ... nothing happens. "Huh?" shrugs and walks on.
  842. 12[21:46] <~Damhoof|GM> "That must be awesome." He says, while locking his eyes at Lemon_Cookies horn. "You have a pretty mane."
  843. [21:46] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thank you."
  844. 08[21:48] * +Lemon_Cookie scrunches his muzzle, judging whether or not he could lift Flour up.
  845. 08[21:48] * +Sample_Text tramps inside
  846. 12[21:48] <~Damhoof|GM> "My name is Flour. What`s yours?" The albino zebra smiles at Lemon_Cookie. No doubt happy with having a stallion to talk to.
  847. [21:48] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm Lemon Cookie. Lemon for short."
  848. 08[21:49] * +Chrome_Veneer looks around once inside, trying to spot other mercenaries and get a feel for what they're like if he does. He'd want to avoid conflict with the other residents if possible.
  849. 12[21:50] <~Damhoof|GM> As Honeycomb looks around in the hallway of the west wing. Several doors greet her at every turn. Most of them open. One of them revealing a broken down library, and the other a lounging room with a ruined billiards table, and in the end theres a living room with enough sofas and tables to seat a small crowd of ponies. "Looks alright. Oh, theres a second floor too."
  850. 08[21:51] * +Blueberry_Muffin tries to look 'merc-sih' as possible. Stern look and stoic expression, but the little zebra colt on her back doesn't really help the effort
  851. 08[21:51] * +Sample_Text makes straight for the library
  852. [21:51] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Say, Flour. I could use my unicorn magic to make you fly."
  853. 12[21:52] <~Damhoof|GM> The zebra colt looks at Lemon Cookie with amazement. "Could you?"
  854. [21:52] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Just please be carefull, will ya'?"
  855. [21:52] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yep," Lemon says, smiling slightly.
  856. [21:53] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Okay. Get ready," he says, clearly amused by this whole thing.
  857. 12[21:54] <~Damhoof|GM> Sample_text is greeted by rows of empty shelves and a few burnt books.
  858. 08[21:54] * +Lemon_Cookie extends a telekinetic bubble around Flour, lifting him off Blueberry's back and floating him about a meter off the ground.
  859. 12[21:54] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour laughs and nods to prove that he is ready. "Make me fly Lemon!"
  860. 08[21:54] * +Chrome_Veneer walks over to the library that was revealed by a broken-door, peering inside after Sample.
  861. 08[21:55] * +Sample_Text curls up in the corner
  862. 12[21:55] <~Damhoof|GM> The albino zebra colt laughs and flaps his arms around. "Weeeee! I`m a seagull!"
  863. 08[21:55] * +Blueberry_Muffin leaves Lemon_Cookie and Flour playing and heads after Chrome_Veneer. MAybe she could find something in the library
  864. 08[21:56] * +Lemon_Cookie floats Flour around himself, walking with Blueberry towards the library.
  865. 08[21:57] * +Lemon_Cookie He keeps his eyes on the zebra colt as much as possible, watching for the foal's directional cues.
  866. 08[21:57] * +Chrome_Veneer looks to Sample, "Is there anything readable or is it all burnt books and storage space?"
  867. 12[21:58] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour banks to the left and caws like a bird.
  868. [21:58] <+Sample_Text> "Look around you."
  869. [21:58] <+Sample_Text> "Everything's looted or ruined."
  870. 08[21:58] * +Lemon_Cookie floats Flour along as he heads into the library, taking a look around. As the heat from outdoors finally bleeds off, he realizes how exhausted he is.
  871. [21:59] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm. I was actually hoping for books..." he says.
  872. 08[21:59] * +Blueberry_Muffin looks around, searching for anything remotely useable
  873. 12[21:59] <~Damhoof|GM> Blueberry_Muffin notices that one of the burnt books has a bobby pin sticking out of it.
  874. 08[21:59] * +Chrome_Veneer leaves a bit defeated, "Everypony was." Well at least a good portion of the group seemed to be. He decided to check another empty room, closest to the burnt-down library.
  875. 08[22:00] * +Blueberry_Muffin trots up to the book and picks up the Bobby Pin "Look what I found!"
  876. 08[22:00] * +Lemon_Cookie slowly guides Flour into a loop-de-loop.
  877. 12[22:00] <~Damhoof|GM> "I`m upside down! Look at me! This is amazing! Woho!"
  878. 12[22:01] <~Damhoof|GM> "Higher!" The zebra colt looks at Lemon_Cookie with a grin and giggles. "Pleesee!"
  879. 08[22:01] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't hear the mention of a bobbypin, otherwise he would jump on that. Instead he was busy opening the door to a room nearest the library and getting a look inside.
  880. 08[22:02] * +Lemon_Cookie lifts Flour another meter off the ground and takes him about in a circle.
  881. 12[22:02] <~Damhoof|GM> Chromve_Veneer finds a row of beautiful heartshaped beddings with silken sheets. Stacked across the room and built with privacy courtains.
  882. 08[22:03] * +Sample_Text does nothing.
  883. 08[22:03] * +Chrome_Veneer cringed a bit. This didn't seem like his type of room... or for any other non-mare, still he decided to look around the room a bit.
  884. 08[22:03] * +Blueberry_Muffin , happy with her Manehattan-habbits paying off, heads after Chrome_Veneer. "Oh...Miss Honeycomb? Are those yours?"
  885. 08[22:04] * +Chrome_Veneer "It would be fitting."
  886. 12[22:04] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veneer finds a nightstand brimming with small plastic candy..
  887. 12[22:05] <~Damhoof|GM> It even has flavours like strawberry, mint, apple and chocolate.
  888. [22:05] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Okay, Flour. I think that's enough."
  889. 12[22:06] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uh. Okay." Flour grins at Lemon_Cookie before flapping downwards into a landing.
  890. 08[22:06] * +Blueberry_Muffin reads the packaging "Strawbe-oh..." She blushes a bit
  891. 08[22:07] * +Chrome_Veneer got his fill of this room to last a lifetime. He passes Blueberry on his way out, "Whether it's hers or not, it's definitely not mine." He laughed, then hesitated as she seemed embarassed about something. "St... wha? What are you looking at... the candy?"
  892. 12[22:07] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uhu. Very funny Blueberry_MUffin." Honeycomb laughs a mock laugh. "I found a similar setup in the other rooms."
  893. 08[22:07] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods, feeling slightly awkward she leans closer to CHrome_Veneer and whispers into his ear, a hoof pointed at the 'candy' "Condoms."
  894. 08[22:08] * +Chrome_Veneer looked defeated, "The other rooms too?" Guess it wouldn't matter then?... then he heard the mention "Condoms" whispered in his ear and blushed hotly shaking his head. "W..Wh.. er! Why?" As though he didn't know.
  895. 08[22:09] * +Lemon_Cookie releases Flour from his telekinesis, then looks about for Blueberry.
  896. 12[22:09] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour follows Lemon_Cookie and giggles gingerly. "Thank you for making me fly. I`ve never flown before."
  897. [22:10] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' welcome. Say, did ya' see where my sister went from up there, seagull?"
  898. 12[22:11] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uh. Out of the room." is Flours response.
  899. 08[22:13] * +Chrome_Veneer begins to slowly back out of the room looking every direction but at the pony that mentioned condoms. "I'm going to confirm that every room is the same because... this one doesn't seem... right for me..." Afterwards booking it to the next door down and hoping for something different, peering inside.
  900. 12[22:13] <~Damhoof|GM> Sample_text and Blueberry_Muffin can hear hooves approching them from the hallway, and Lemon_Cookie can spot a prewar armour wearing brown unicorn buck with a scar over his muzzle appraching.
  901. 08[22:14] * +Lemon_Cookie looks at the fellow, raising an eyebrow.
  902. 08[22:14] * +Blueberry_Muffin perks up her ears and follows the noise "Oh, hi there."
  903. 12[22:15] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veneer spots the same stallion as he leaves the room. He`s rather large and muscled after all and makes no effort to reduce his presence. "Ah. You are the new mercenary company right?"
  904. 08[22:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods
  905. [22:15] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Mhmm."
  906. 12[22:15] <~Damhoof|GM> He frowns and gives Flour a most dissaproving glance. "I see."
  907. 08[22:16] * +Chrome_Veneer stops in his charge for the next door as a new pony appeared before him, backing up to make sure he didn't get in the way of the large muscled stallion. "We are."
  908. [22:16] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We're the,uhm, Steel Flanks."
  909. 08[22:16] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't care about names that much, but would like that everypony contributed before something said randomly by one sunk in.
  910. 08[22:16] * +Lemon_Cookie looks at Blueberry_Muffin, appalled.
  911. 12[22:17] <~Damhoof|GM> "Oh please don`t give us such a vulgar name miss Muffin. We shall be the knights of rainbow or something epic."
  912. [22:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We don't have a company name yet, I'm afraid," he amends, looking to the stallion. "No consensus."
  913. 08[22:17] * +Blueberry_Muffin manages and awkward smile "Sorry."
  914. 08[22:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin puts on a stoic and stern expression
  915. 12[22:19] <~Damhoof|GM> The scar faced unicorn stallion. "Heard you took out a sea witch. Must have been dumb luck. Whatever. Just here to say that we took the stuff in the library to use for our guards, and the only beds we left around are the uhm. Pleasure domes. Occasionally we`d use them for uhm. Sports. Though you`d have to clean them yourselves."
  916. [22:20] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Pleasure domes? Sports? That's kinda disgustin'."
  917. 12[22:20] <~Damhoof|GM> (the scar faced unicorn stallion purses his lips and sighes ^)
  918. 08[22:20] * +Chrome_Veneer fell to his rump in utter defeat. So those were really the only beds left? "Ugh..." He sounded ou tin disgust.
  919. 08[22:20] * +Chrome_Veneer not disgust, embarassment?
  920. [22:20] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Ya' should at least change tha' sheets afterwards. What would ya' say if ya' had to sleep in my fluids?"
  921. 08[22:21] * +Lemon_Cookie gives the stallion a slightly annoyed look.
  922. [22:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' at least gonna' tell us where tha' clean linens are?"
  923. 08[22:22] * +Mayhem says nothing and turns slightly red
  924. 08[22:23] * +Blueberry_Muffin squints her eyes a bit.
  925. 12[22:23] <~Damhoof|GM> "No doubt I`d be thoroughly pleased with myself for having seduced you in bed with me." The unicorn mercenary sends Blueberry_muffin a perverted grin before resuming his more stoic mercenary modus operandi. "We have clean linens in the first room of the hallway."
  926. 08[22:23] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugs, for some reason Blueberry seemed to be attracting all of the stallions, from young to old.
  927. [22:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "How dare ya'..."
  928. 08[22:24] * +Chrome_Veneer "Could be worse i suppose." He told himself quietly, deciding not to try and inconvenience the other ponies of the manor, despite how much they have done to them.
  929. [22:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thank ya'," Lemon says with a certain finality.
  930. 08[22:25] * +Sample_Text snores loudly
  931. 08[22:25] * +Blueberry_Muffin makes a few determined steps closer towards the scarred buck
  932. 08[22:25] * +Lemon_Cookie reaches out a hoof to stop his sister.
  933. 12[22:26] <~Damhoof|GM> "Because I`m older, stronger and more well equipped than you." The unicorn draws a smile and looks to Honeycomb. "So many mares, so little time. The kitchen is staffed and we`ve got food enough to share it with you. Just head out of this hallway and into the main room. We`re using that as our dining hall."
  934. [22:26] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Just who d-" She stops, but continues to scowl
  935. 08[22:27] * +Blueberry_Muffin mutters "Wha' do I look like? A whore?"
  936. 08[22:27] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, "Thank you kindly."
  937. 08[22:27] * +Lemon_Cookie just looks at the unicorn stallion, frowning slightly.
  938. 08[22:27] * +Blueberry_Muffin feels quite offended and insulted
  939. 08[22:27] * +Mayhem drops the luggage snorts so that steam comes out her nose and cracks he fingers. "Oh yeah lad? Think ye can take a 'mare' of proper size?"
  940. 12[22:29] <~Damhoof|GM> The unicorn sends Mayhem a rather pained glance. "She asked for it with the whole fluid comment. Welcome to the wolf manor. /Whatever/ you decide to call yourselves.."
  941. [22:29] <+Lemon_Cookie> "You shoud go," Lemon says simply.
  942. 12[22:30] <~Damhoof|GM> The brown unicorn nods at Lemon_Cookie and turns to leave. "Theres dinner if you want it."
  943. 08[22:30] * +Blueberry_Muffin contemplates. She should probably fuck the least likeable comrade of the stallion, just to piss him off.
  944. [22:30] <+Lemon_Cookie> should*]
  945. [22:31] <+Chrome_Veneer> [shouldn't*]
  946. 12[22:31] <~Damhoof|GM> "He gave me the bad stare." Flour mutters behind Lemon_Cookie. "He doesn\t like me."
  947. [22:32] <+Lemon_Cookie> "It's alright, Flour. Mean ponies will be mean."
  948. 08[22:32] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Yes, he's a mean stallion. C'mon, let's find us a comfy bed, shall we?"
  949. [22:32] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sometimes, all you have to do is ignore them and they go back to minding their own business."
  950. 12[22:32] <~Damhoof|GM> "It seems we have the entire west wing to ourselves." Honeycomb smiles a dry smile at Mayhem. "Lets start by cleaning sheets and makeing ourselves comfortable."
  951. 08[22:33] * +Chrome_Veneer wasn't as hungry as he should be, but he was certainly keen on taking up an offer that might entail free water. "I'm going to go ahead and take..." He looked for a room different than the first one. He moved to the door directly adjacted and peered inside. "This one."
  952. 12[22:33] <~Damhoof|GM> "We could all sleep in one room, or we could split up." Honeycomb muses to Blueberry_Muffin. "Wouldn`t be so bad either way."
  953. 08[22:34] * +Lemon_Cookie walks next to Blueberry, much less angry than he was on the ride over, although he does look much more tired.
  954. 08[22:34] * +Blueberry_Muffin thinks for a second. "We could split mares an' stallions."
  955. 08[22:34] * +Mayhem turns around and picks the luggage up again. "Aye. Let's find a comfy room. The further away I get from tha' prick the better."
  956. 12[22:36] <~Damhoof|GM> "Thats not a bad idea." Honeycomb nods at Blueberry_Muffin. "Tobad about these awful loveseats, though they are rather comfortable they do seem well used."
  957. 08[22:36] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods with a slightly disgusted expression "Could've at least changes tha' sheets."
  958. [22:37] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yeah. Real dick move a' them."
  959. 08[22:38] * +Chrome_Veneer moved in to the door beside the first one in which he assumed the mares to use, and peered inside. He expected something different, although they'd already said they were all similar.
  960. [22:38] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' mind handlin' this, Blueberry? I'm gonna' go see if I can't find some water."
  961. 12[22:39] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veener finds a similar room with similar beddings, except there is still a set of handcufffes cufffed to a bedding pole.
  962. 08[22:39] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Sure."
  963. 08[22:40] * +Mayhem "Oi Chrome! Changed yer mind on were ta sleep?" winks at him.
  964. 08[22:40] * +Lemon_Cookie wonders if there's a fountain or water-feature nearby.
  965. [22:40] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I suggest the mares move into tha' room we already seen. The stallions take the one next ta' us. Sound good?"
  966. 12[22:41] <~Damhoof|GM> Lemon_Cookie can reason out well enough that if the mercenaries dine in the main room then there ought to be some form of water nearby.
  967. [22:41] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... when we have tha' whole West Wing?" Lemon adds, still thinking of where there might be water.
  968. 08[22:41] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, "There's not many options." moving to a bed inside the door down from the first that looked cleaner than the rest and looking crosseyed up at his horn. "Hope i can do this." As he brought his horn down to the bed and began to attempt to clean it with his magic, particularly portions worse than the rest which is to say... the whole thing. [Clean]
  969. [22:42] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I figured it'll be better if we stick togehter"
  970. 08[22:43] * +Lemon_Cookie gives Blueberry a look.
  971. [22:43] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Oh fine. Let's find some rooms farther away."
  972. 08[22:44] * +Blueberry_Muffin starts to head further into the west wing, looking into each room.
  973. 08[22:45] * +Lemon_Cookie nods, then gives the library one last look about.
  974. 12[22:45] <~Damhoof|GM> "Yes mister Lemon. We have the whole room." Honeycomb walks up to him and smiles. "There aren`t many unicorns here, and wolf company stick their mercs together. So we technically have the whole West wing. bottom and top floor both. Though I`d suggest that we do stick somewhat together."
  975. 08[22:47] * +Chrome_Veneer casts a silver glow over the bed and its sheets as he moves his focus from side to side attempting to get the majority of the vile off of the fabric. He was blushing a bit the entire time, while it was disgusting to think about he also had to consider what caused it which was embarassing to him.
  976. 12[22:49] <~Damhoof|GM> Blueberry_Muffin finds the washroom with two large clothwashers intent for mass cleaning, and a closet filled with spare sheets for the beddings.
  977. 08[22:49] * +Lemon_Cookie heads for the kitchen, canteens at the ready.
  978. 08[22:50] * +Blueberry_Muffin happily takes the sheets and balances them on her back. She heads back to the others. "Look whhat I found!"
  979. 12[22:50] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veneers bedding seems to stop smelling so bad after he casted the spell.
  980. 08[22:51] * +Chrome_Veneer overly strains his horn be decided to cast it a second time for safe measure, ignorant of what Blueberry found. He was glad when it seemed at least remotely useable though.
  981. 08[22:51] * +Lemon_Cookie He trots all the way to the kitchen, then looks for a faucet.
  982. 12[22:53] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb looks around the wide dining area, and easily spots a built in watercooler built in the fashion of an oldschool water tower.
  983. 12[22:53] <~Damhoof|GM> "This looks like the what you are looking for Lemon_Cookie."
  984. [22:54] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... right."
  985. 08[22:55] * +Lemon_Cookie walks up to the faucet and begins to fill his canteen to the brim.
  986. 08[22:55] * +Mayhem looks around if she can see Honeycomb anywhere.
  987. 12[22:57] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb looks to Lemon_Cookie with some interest. "So many things to do, yet you went to pour yourself water. Would you mind shareing with me? This sun really is murder such as the captain said."
  988. 08[22:57] * +Blueberry_Muffin brings the sheets to Mayhem "I guess ya' can handle them better. Hands 'n' everythin'"
  989. 08[22:57] * +Chrome_Veneer finished cleaning his bed with magic a second time and left his saddlebags on the bed to mark it as his. It was the cleanest in the room after all, through his effort. Leaving the colt's room, he began to walk toward the prementioned dining area to seek water and food.
  990. [22:57] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sure."
  991. 08[22:57] * +Lemon_Cookie floats her the canteen after he's filled it up, giving her the first drink out of courtesy.
  992. 12[22:59] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb approaches Lemon_Cookie with a smile as she grasps the canteen. Gulping down on the rich liquid. "Oh. Its cold."
  993. [22:59] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Say. You're a good bit more knowledgeable than me about these parts. Do ya' know if there are any healer unicorns in tha' city?"
  994. 08[23:00] * +Sample_Text does nothing
  995. 08[23:02] * +Chrome_Veneer finds his way to the mentioned dining hall, where the Stallion earlier had told him he could go to get a share of food.
  996. 12[23:03] <~Damhoof|GM> "Not as far as I know." Honeycomb draws a smile and hands the canteen back to Lemon_Cookie. "They would probably be in the Hagia Sophia, the arena, or part of a mercenary band. Healing magic as explained to me is very popular, because potions tend to evapourate if exposed to the heat for too long."
  997. [23:03] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Interestin'."
  998. 12[23:04] <~Damhoof|GM> Chrome_Veneer finds that the hall is empty besides Honeycomb and Lemon_Cookie. Theres a scent of food in the air, rising from the kitchens.
  999. [23:04] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Mayhem?"
  1000. 08[23:04] * +Lemon_Cookie refills the canteen, then drinks from it until he's satisfied, filling it up from the tap a third time for the road.
  1001. 08[23:05] * +Lemon_Cookie He slings it back, placing it with his pack, looks to Honeycomb -- as if signalling to her -- before heading back to the library.
  1002. 08[23:05] * +Chrome_Veneer looks around, passing by the two ponies from the group to find the facet/fountain, he's been carrying a dirty-water in his mouth and wanted to drink and replace it. He nodded to Lemon as he passed.
  1003. 12[23:06] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb nods to Lemon_Cookie before following her nose towards the kitchens.
  1004. 08[23:06] * +Mayhem snaps out of looking for the golden coated mare "Huh, what? Oh yes of course Blueberry." drops the luggage and takes the sheets.
  1005. 08[23:07] * +Lemon_Cookie sighs slightly, a little glad to have Honeycomb off his back.
  1006. 08[23:08] * +Blueberry_Muffin smiles happily "Thanks." She takes one of the sheets for herself and starts to replace it on a bed she deemed fit for sleeping. Despite being an earth pony and having looted corpses before, she still finds this a bit dusgusting.
  1007. 08[23:08] * +Lemon_Cookie He looks about the library, feeling less and less exhausted as the water diffuses through his system, rehydrating him.
  1008. 12[23:09] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour prods sample_text "Hi. My name is Flour. What is yours?"
  1009. 08[23:09] * +Chrome_Veneer emptied his dirty water and reiflled it with something more clean, after chugging an amount of water that didn't seem normal for any pony. He went through about five bottles before he decided to fill it up and leave to follow the scent to the kitchen. Noticing Honeycomb had already entered before him.
  1010. 08[23:09] * +Lemon_Cookie spots Sample curled in some corner.
  1011. 08[23:10] * +Sample_Text is still snorring, or at least trying to sound like she's snoring
  1012. 12[23:10] <~Damhoof|GM> "Hi Lemon_Cookie." Flour tilts his head. "This mare is strange. She`s lying on a corner. Do you think she`s sick?"
  1013. [23:11] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I already hate 'em."
  1014. 08[23:11] * +Mayhem carries the dirty sheets over to the room with the washing machines and throws them into one of the two with a disgusted look on her face. Turning it on, she let's out a relived sigh. "Oh blimey, I need something ta drink."
  1015. 08[23:12] * +Sample_Text snores harder
  1016. [23:12] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Probably not," Lemon says to Flour.
  1017. [23:12] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sample," he says, nudging her with a hoof. "Ya' want some water?"
  1018. 08[23:12] * +Blueberry_Muffin notices that Mayhem is missing. She finishes making her bed and places her teddy bear on it to mark it. She then heads to the dining room."
  1019. 12[23:13] <~Damhoof|GM> "Then why is she lying on the floor and not on a bedding?" Flour asks Lemon. "I saw somepony lie down like that and my mom said they were ill, but they werent making any sounds at all."
  1020. [23:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "It could be that she's really tired."
  1021. 08[23:14] * +Chrome_Veneer looks around the kitchen finding something that abundant to eat. He didn't want to grab something of which there was few of, since that meant less for other ponies after all.
  1022. 08[23:14] * +Blueberry_Muffin arrives at the dining hall and quickly proceeds into the kitchens "Oh. Hello there miss Honeycomb."
  1023. [23:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... or it could be that she wants to be left alone."
  1024. 08[23:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin gets to the faucet and drinks two bottles of water which she immedeatly refills with pure water.
  1025. 12[23:15] <~Damhoof|GM> The dining room is rather large looking with tables and chairs set about in a U shaped fashion, and molten rock to step over. The kitchen seem at least passable, with some white rock still intact and honeycomb leaning over a pot of stew. She greets Blueberry with a wave of her hoof. "Miss Muffin." She acknowledges Blueberry.
  1026. 08[23:15] * +Mayhem decides that the most obvious place to find something to drink was the kitchen. She heads right there.
  1027. 08[23:16] * +Lemon_Cookie decides to wait a few moments to see if Sample_Text reacts, motioning for Flour to be quiet.
  1028. 08[23:16] * +Chrome_Veneer just decided to continue looking around the kitchen then?
  1029. 12[23:16] <~Damhoof|GM> "Aaaw. I hate quiet. The oceans were never quiet." Flour pouts and looks up at Lemon_Cookie.
  1030. 08[23:17] * +Lemon_Cookie gives Flour a somewhat stern look.
  1031. [23:17] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I,uhm...don't want to pry or be uncouth, but what do you normally charge?"
  1032. 08[23:17] * +Sample_Text doesn't really do anything different
  1033. 08[23:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin feels a bit awkward asking
  1034. 08[23:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin also forgot er accent there for a moment
  1035. 08[23:18] * +Chrome_Veneer is wondering what Blueberry is asking Honeycomb about, has no idea.
  1036. 12[23:19] <~Damhoof|GM> "Three thousand." Honeycomb smiles at Blueberry_Muffin and pours herself a bowl of stew.
  1037. [23:20] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Oh, damn. I can't afford that."
  1038. 08[23:21] * +Mayhem walks inn the kitchen and croaks "Honey, are you in here?"
  1039. 08[23:21] * +Sample_Text twitches after the silence settles in and slowly opens her eyes, "Lemon? Um, foal?"
  1040. 08[23:21] * +Blueberry_Muffin smiles awkwardly "I see. Uhm, yeah..."
  1041. 08[23:21] * +Lemon_Cookie decides Sample is either really asleep, or doesn't want to talk to either of th-- never mind.
  1042. [23:21] <+Sample_Text> "Why'
  1043. [23:21] <+Sample_Text> 're you in my room?"
  1044. 08[23:21] * +Chrome_Veneer can't get to the stew while Honeycomb is in the way, but patiently waits without asking.
  1045. [23:21] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... Sample, this is an empty, dirty library."
  1046. [23:21] <+Sample_Text> "It isn't that dirty."
  1047. 12[23:21] <~Damhoof|GM> "No you can`t." Honeycomb laughs a golden laugh and presents the bowl of stew. "I`m in here Mayflower. Theres some oat and carrot stew for you. A bit boring but thats what they made."
  1048. [23:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "There are burned book pieces everywhere. It's dirty."
  1049. [23:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Flour, Sample," Lemon says, introducing the two. "Sample, Flour."
  1050. 08[23:22] * +Blueberry_Muffin is glad for the change of topic "Dinner, huh?"
  1051. 12[23:23] <~Damhoof|GM> "I`m Flour." The albino zebra colt presents himself to Sample_text. "You are Sample?"
  1052. 08[23:24] * +Sample_Text nods groggily
  1053. 12[23:24] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb hands her bowl over to Chrome_Veneer. "You have the look of somepony recently in love. Lucky."
  1054. 08[23:24] * +Mayhem "I can't say no to that. But me needs something ta drink first." coughs because of dry troat
  1055. [23:24] <+Sample_Text> "They're mostly on the shelves."
  1056. 08[23:24] * +Lemon_Cookie offers his canteen to Sample.
  1057. [23:25] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' really ought ta' pick a better room. Maybe one with a bed."
  1058. 12[23:25] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour licks his lips and looks at Lemon_Cookie. "Uhm. Where did you get water?"
  1059. 08[23:25] * +Chrome_Veneer ears perk up, "I love?" He asked, not quite sure what she meant. He did have a feel that he knew what she meant though. Either way, he accepted the bowl with his mouth, pulling it somewhere else and setting it down to eat from. "Thank you."
  1060. [23:25] <+Sample_Text> "Bed?"
  1061. 08[23:25] * +Sample_Text eyes the canteen, "That's water?"
  1062. 08[23:26] * +Blueberry_Muffin approaches Mayhem and whispers "She costs three gran' per night. Is it worth it?"
  1063. 08[23:26] * +Lemon_Cookie uncaps it.
  1064. 12[23:26] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb pulls out more bowls for Mayhem, Blueberry_Muffin and herself. "It is alright Blueberry_Muffin. The money was more because of reputation and rank rather than skill in bed."
  1065. [23:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Purified. I just had some."
  1066. [23:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Got water in the dining hall, Flour."
  1067. 08[23:27] * +Mayhem is just speechless for a moment then turns red.
  1068. [23:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "There's a big tower that has a faucet on it."
  1069. 08[23:27] * +Sample_Text sniffs it
  1070. 12[23:28] <~Damhoof|GM> Sample_text smells the rather cooled water.
  1071. 08[23:28] * +Lemon_Cookie drinks a little himself, then offers it back again.
  1072. 12[23:29] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour ghasps. "A big tower with a faucet? Omigosh. Can you show me?"
  1073. 08[23:29] * +Sample_Text takes a small sip
  1074. [23:31] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I figure we'll all go together. I smelled a bit a' dinner when I was over there."
  1075. [23:32] <+Sample_Text> "I'll catch up in a second," she clarifies, "Need to regain my senses."
  1076. 12[23:32] <~Damhoof|GM> "I wonder what scorched this place." Honeycomb sniffs her bowl and with a flourish produces a rather delicate silver spoon from her bags before heading out into the dining room to eat. "It doesn`t taste half bad, though its creamed with spice."
  1077. 08[23:33] * +Blueberry_Muffin gets back to the counter to pic up her bowl "Probably a balefire bomb."
  1078. 08[23:34] * +Chrome_Veneer doesn't eat it nearly so carefully, just skarfing what is there and heading back to the colt's room. Or at least the room with the bed of which he'd cleaned~ on his way though he stopped by the water seeing Sample_Text nearby. Holding his filled bottle his hi mouth he set it beside him on the ground and waited for a turn to get more water. He'd already drank so much... what was he a camel?
  1079. [23:34] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Alright. Ya' want ta' drink outta' my canteen fa' a bit?"
  1080. 08[23:37] * +Mayhem "I get meself something ta drink and be back in a second."
  1081. 08[23:37] * +Mayhem walks out to the fountain to refresh herself
  1082. [23:38] <+Sample_Text> "I'll refill it for you."
  1083. [23:39] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thanks. I'll see ya', then."
  1084. 08[23:39] * +Lemon_Cookie turns to go to the dining area.
  1085. [23:39] <+Lemon_Cookie> "C'mon, Flour."
  1086. 12[23:39] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour looks at Lemon_Cookie. "Alright!"
  1087. 08[23:39] * +Sample_Text lays back down as soon as the colts leave.
  1088. 08[23:39] * +Chrome_Veneer finishes chuugging another ton of water before moving out of the way at the nearing Mayhem.
  1089. 08[23:40] * +Mayhem "Thanks Chrome." bends down to drink
  1090. 08[23:40] * +Blueberry_Muffin picks up her bowl and heads out into the dining room where she sits down to eat
  1091. 12[23:41] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb sits down on the dining room and looks up at a charred chandelier with some interest while modestly eating this strange mix of oats, spices and carrots.
  1092. 08[23:41] * +Sample_Text produces a potato from somewhere on her person along with a knife.
  1093. 08[23:42] * +Chrome_Veneer is done, he just wanted to go rest. "I'm... going to go lay down for a while." He nodded to Mayhem before leaving to head back to his magically cleaned bed. Still ignorant of what Blueberry had found to clean the sheets.
  1094. 08[23:42] * +Sample_Text cuts it in half before the nomming starts. Throw in most of the water, and Sample starts to slowly drift back to sleep.
  1095. 08[23:43] * +Chrome_Veneer one there, he puts the bottle filled with clean water in his bag and lays down upon the bed. Reluctantly at first, and the smell of the neighboring beds bothered him but he'd endure. He was tired... Strained at least.
  1096. 08[23:43] * +Mayhem finishes drinking and heads back to the kitchen to get herself some stew.
  1097. 12[23:43] <~Damhoof|GM> Mayhem can feel the cooling water pass her by and a refreshed state of mind whisks away her dehydation.
  1098. 12[23:45] <~Damhoof|GM> "Lemon_Cookie is your brother?" Honeycomb asks Blueberry_Muffin before putting the silver spoon of stew in her mouth. Nibbling at it thoughtfully.
  1099. 12[23:50] <~Damhoof|GM> Mayhem finds the cauldron and stew sufficiently heated.
  1100. 08[23:51] * +Lemon_Cookie walks out to the dining hall, intent on some food.
  1101. 08[23:51] * +Mayhem comes back into the dining hall with a stew and sits down next Honeycomb
  1102. [23:51] <+Mayhem> "Ahh, finally somethin' good ta eat."
  1103. 12[23:51] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour follows in Lemon_cookies hoofsteps and waves to Mayhem and Honeycomb. "I`m ready to chow down too!"
  1104. 12[23:53] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb laughs and smiles at Mayhem after nodding at Lemon_Cookie and waving back at Flour. "It has a certain rugged taste."
  1105. 08[23:54] * +Mayhem "But atleast it is not fish again." chugs down some stew
  1106. [23:55] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Three days is hardly long enough ta' get tired a' fish," Lemon mumbles.
  1107. 08[23:55] * +Chrome_Veneer falls asleep, his strain getting to him.
  1108. 12[23:55] * ~Damhoof|GM the gold coated unicorn mare nods at Mayhem while putting another spoon in her mouth. "Variety is certainly appreciated."
  1109. 12[23:56] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb puts out a few of the papers to read. "Hmm. We could get access to some fine gear if we indebted ourselves, but that would be foalish this early on."
  1110. [23:57] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Possibly."
  1111. 08[23:57] * +Lemon_Cookie takes a seat at the table.
  1112. [23:57] <+Lemon_Cookie> "What's it say?"
  1113. 08[23:57] * +Mayhem frowns a Lemon between two spoons of stew, but says nothing. 'What by tha totems is tha' lad's problem? I didn't do anything ta him.'
  1114. 12[23:58] <~Damhoof|GM> "It says they could sponsor us with combat armour and some lowcost rifles. A few explosives too. If we took a small job for them regarding a zebra ruin."
  1115. [23:58] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sitting riiiiiiiiiight in front of you," Lemon mumbles, craning his neck to see the contract.
  1116. [23:58] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm."
  1117. [00:00] <+Lemon_Cookie> "That's not much ta' go on."
  1118. 12[00:00] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb shows lemon_Cookie the paper. Its not a contract. Its a bounty mission for a castle ruin some distance into the desert. "There is also one regarding a pyramid. An ancient burial ground. Zebra mercs dont dare touch them."
  1119. [00:00] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Legends surroundin' tha' place?"
  1120. 12[00:02] <~Damhoof|GM> "Nope. Its just that the shaman buried there put out traps and curses to ward the place and they aren`t stupid nor greedy enough to risk it.."
  1121. 15[00:02] * Sample_Text is now known as SampleTextAFK
  1122. [00:05] <+Lemon_Cookie> "No guarantee there's actually anythin' down there, either..."
  1123. 12[00:05] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb picks up another sheet. "Its basically oddjobs that they want us to do, but we can settle for guarding brahmin if you want. We don`t have to aspire to something, but was better to pretend we were bigshots. Netted us this whole space."
  1124. [00:05] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Good call."
  1125. [00:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sounds good. I guess we can handle a small quest."
  1126. 08[00:06] * +Lemon_Cookie reads some of the missions on the contract.
  1127. [00:06] <+Lemon_Cookie> the sheet.*]
  1128. [00:06] <+Mayhem> "I can roll with whatever place doesn't blow you lads ta bits when I use my weapons."
  1129. [00:06] <+Mayhem> "Or we need ta go ta these weapon merchants first and I get meself an MEW."
  1130. 12[00:07] <~Damhoof|GM> "Maybe nothing down there, but they think it is." Honeycomb puts another spoonfull of stew in her mouth with ladylike grace and muses. "The shaman killed himself right before the war ended and got buried with his possessions and servants after having spouted something about wanting to return in his afterlife to guide their race."
  1131. [00:07] <+Lemon_Cookie> "My magic's versatile," Lemon says as an afterthought, reading.
  1132. 08[00:08] * +Blueberry_Muffin perks her ears up "I have a magiplas pistol. I need ta' repair it first though. It looks poor though."
  1133. [00:09] <+Mayhem> "Now that ye mention it, lass. I still have some Stampede and Pure Rage from tha ship."
  1134. 12[00:09] <~Damhoof|GM> Lemon Cookie spots a minor mission for clearing out a band of raiders harassing caravans worth 500 caps.
  1135. 08[00:09] * +Blueberry_Muffin waves a hoof. "I don't need drugs."
  1136. [00:09] <+Mayhem> "I don't want that stuff. Drugs don't do you any good."
  1137. 08[00:09] * +Lemon_Cookie raises an eyebrow at the mention of the powerful drugs.
  1138. [00:10] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'll take those, if ya' don't mind."
  1139. 08[00:11] * +Mayhem raises an eyebrow at him. "You ask me to give these to you after being such a prick ta me? What the bloody hell Lemon?"
  1140. 12[00:11] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour looks up at Blueberry_Muffin. "Could you please get me a second serving. I can`t reach the food bowl."
  1141. 08[00:12] * +Lemon_Cookie gives her a very blaise look, then looks back down at the listing.
  1142. 08[00:12] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Sure."
  1143. 12[00:12] <~Damhoof|GM> "Now, now. Mayflower. He might not be the most courteous, but he has a point. If you don\t intend to use them then maybe he might find a use for them." Honeycomb glances seductively over at Lemon_Cookie. "There is nothing wrong with occasionally resorting to drugs to bost ones abilities. I myself managed my escape with the aid of party time mintals."
  1144. 12[00:13] <~Damhoof|GM> (boost)
  1145. 08[00:13] * +Mayhem huffs "Ah fine whatever." throws the drugs on the table.
  1146. 08[00:14] * +Blueberry_Muffin pics up Flours bowl and gets him another serving
  1147. [00:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I... don't exactly plan ta' use 'em that way," he mutters, looking down and reading.
  1148. 12[00:14] <~Damhoof|GM> The albiono zebra colt spreads his hooves for a hug and smiles at Blueberry_Muffin "Thank you super much. I`ll pay you with hugs!"
  1149. 08[00:14] * +Mayhem scowls at him again "Say what now, lad?"
  1150. [00:15] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Five-hundred cap clear-out job right here," he says, looking up and hoofing the paper into the middle of the table. "Raiders harassing caravans."
  1151. [00:16] <+Lemon_Cookie> "And I /said/ I wasn't plannin' on shootin'-up," he clarifies.
  1152. 12[00:16] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb looks to Mayhem with a forgiving glance. "No need to work yourself up Mayflower. You are much more beautiful when you smile."
  1153. 08[00:16] * +Blueberry_Muffin giggles "I like hugs."
  1154. 08[00:16] * +Lemon_Cookie levitates the drugs into his saddlebags.
  1155. [00:17] <+Mayhem> "What are ye planning ta do with em then? Just sell them?"
  1156. [00:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "No."
  1157. [00:18] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm goin' ta' try an' figure out what they're made of."
  1158. 08[00:19] * +Mayhem her scowl soften and finally disappears "Well ok, do what ya want with them. Otherwise I could just have sold them meself."
  1159. 12[00:19] <~Damhoof|GM> "Sounds useful." Honeycomb nods and returns to casually eating and looking over a fourth sheet. "There is this one too. A thousand caps for disrupting a shipment of slaves, but its under the pretext of travelling to Some city named Styr. The captain didn`t have much good to say about Styr."
  1160. [00:19] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hmm."
  1161. 08[00:19] * +Mayhem takes another few spoons of stew
  1162. [00:20] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Disruptin' a slave caravan..."
  1163. [00:20] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I don't like slavery anyway."
  1164. 12[00:20] <~Damhoof|GM> "Yes, and by that I mean killing the guards and taking their slaves back to Constantinomare."
  1165. [00:20] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Well, tha' main problem with that is there's a loooooot a' money in slaves."
  1166. [00:21] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... an' there ya' have it."
  1167. [00:21] <+Lemon_Cookie> "How about we don't get mixed-up in that, hm?"
  1168. 08[00:23] * +Lemon_Cookie It's not clear whether he means the "we" as "everyone at the table" or "him and Blueberry".
  1169. 12[00:23] <~Damhoof|GM> "Grave robbery, treasure hunting, raider killing and slave disruption. Oh and there is this one too." Honeycomb puts out a sheet that vaguely requests guards for a caravan headed for Roam.
  1170. [00:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Huh. I like the treasure huntin' the most."
  1171. [00:23] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sounds mysterious. Mysterious means dangerous."
  1172. [00:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... an' it isn't grave robbin' if they've been dead fa' over two centures an' they put good loot in their coffin."
  1173. 12[00:24] <~Damhoof|GM> "If you wanted predictable then there is always the arena." Honeycomb retorts back at Lemon_Cookie. "Pays well if you win."
  1174. [00:25] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm not a fan a' blood sport."
  1175. [00:25] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "You're not a fan of anythin'."
  1176. [00:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm a fan a' not gettin' our hides flayed."
  1177. [00:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... an' that job takin' out tha' raiders who've been hittin' the caravans seems like a good, fairly local job that doesn't require us ta' go up against anythin' too likely ta' get us killed."
  1178. [00:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Though that's no guarantee," he amends, touching a hoof to the spot where his wound used to be.
  1179. 12[00:28] <~Damhoof|GM> "Well there is this too." Honeycomb puts out a sheet mentioning bringing back the son of a wealthy merchant from his foolish notion of trying to re-invigorate a failing mining business.
  1180. [00:28] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We might even be able ta' talk 'em out a' raidin'."
  1181. [00:28] <+Mayhem> "As I said before, me is fine with everything when I get an MEW. Otherwise only fights in open places please,"
  1182. 08[00:29] * +Lemon_Cookie looks to Mayhem.
  1183. [00:29] <+Lemon_Cookie> "C'mon. Ya' can't honestly tell me ya' don't know how ta' use a gun, can ya'?"
  1184. [00:30] <+Mayhem> "I am telling ye, that ya dun want ta get caught in an incendiary explosion, lad."
  1185. [00:30] <+Mayhem> "An tha' is likely ta happen in cramped up places."
  1186. [00:31] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' talkin' like ya' can't point an' shoot."
  1187. [00:31] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I find that hard ta' believe, is all."
  1188. 12[00:31] <~Damhoof|GM> "Miss mayflower doesn`t own a weapon besides her fist and grenades Lemon_Cookie." Honeycomb puts a hoof at the minotaurs shoulder and smiles. "I very much admire her for it."
  1189. 08[00:32] * +Mayhem "Well, ya dun shoot grenades, ye throw em." this stallion was getting more and more on her nerves
  1190. [00:32] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... but ya' honestly don't know how ta' use a firearm?"
  1191. 08[00:32] * +Lemon_Cookie looks perplexed.
  1192. [00:32] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Lemon, leave her be. Not everypony has parents like us.
  1193. [00:32] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *"
  1194. 12[00:33] <~Damhoof|GM> "You can have my pistol, if it gets us anywhere." Honeycomb puts out a Magical laser pistol from her purse.
  1195. [00:33] <+Mayhem> "Not those old mechanical piles of rust. Get me a nice modern shooter and I can handle it alright."
  1196. [00:33] <+Lemon_Cookie> "No, I'm just... who isn't at least /kinda'/ familiar with tha' care an' use a guns nowadays?"
  1197. [00:33] <+Lemon_Cookie> "S'peculiar."
  1198. 08[00:33] * +Lemon_Cookie shrugs.
  1199. [00:34] <+Lemon_Cookie> "You should look inta' it. Magiweapons an' their ammunition can be quite rare."
  1200. 12[00:34] <~Damhoof|GM> "But I don`t have much ammunition. Just the twenty eight bullets inside the gun." Honeycomb shrugs alongside Lemon_Cookie.
  1201. [00:34] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I still have tha' magiplas pistol."
  1202. [00:35] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' have that on ya', sis?"
  1203. 08[00:35] * +Mayhem pushes the gun back to Honeycomb "Nah you keep that one. I don't want ye ta be defenseless." pecks her on the nose.
  1204. 08[00:36] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods
  1205. [00:36] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "It needs some spare parts though."
  1206. [00:36] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Mind puttin' it on tha' table?"
  1207. 12[00:36] <~Damhoof|GM> "I`m sure we could ask Instrument for ammo, but it`d cost us." Honeycomb smiles at Mayhem. "Thats sweet of you Mayflower."
  1208. [00:37] <+Mayhem> "Well I suppose me could sell some of those here grenades and get meself a gun."
  1209. 08[00:37] * +Lemon_Cookie has more than a touch of raw talent with mechanics, but Blueberry's the one who really put work into it. Though he's no slouch, she's twice as good as he is.
  1210. 12[00:37] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb puts the laser pistol back in her purse. "You could, but you`d still need ammunition, and I think Grenades fit you well. So long as you throw it far enough away with your strong and supple hands, and those wonderful fingers of yours."
  1211. [00:39] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Invest in a gun, lady," Lemon says to Mayhem. "I recommend a ten-millimeter or a twenty-two."
  1212. 08[00:39] * +Mayhem starts blushing hard at the innuendo and pulls her head between her shoulders.
  1213. [00:40] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... aaaaand she's not listenin'," he mutters to Blueberry.
  1214. [00:40] <+Mayhem> "I already told ye I can't hit a brahmin right before me nose with one of these things."
  1215. 08[00:40] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods and put the magiplas pistol on the table."
  1216. [00:41] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Well maybe you'll get lucky. Even if ya' don't, ponies duck when they hear gunfire. Tha' smart ones, anyhow."
  1217. 12[00:41] <~Damhoof|GM> "That thing looks worn out." Honeycomb comments on the pistol before going back to eat casually.
  1218. [00:41] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Give ya' time ta' close tha' distance an' punch 'em in tha' gut a' somethin'."
  1219. 08[00:42] * +Lemon_Cookie nabs the pistol with a hoof and draws it over, inspecting the damage.
  1220. 08[00:43] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Tha' salty hasn't been kind on it."
  1221. [00:43] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *salty seas
  1222. 12[00:44] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uhu, but mom says that the salt is even worse on regular weapons." Flour looks at Blueberry_Muffin.
  1223. 08[00:44] * +Lemon_Cookie He looks at it from the perspective of a magitechnical engineer.
  1224. [00:44] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... yeah. Magiweapons are more gems an' titanium than steel and small movin' parts."
  1225. 08[00:44] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Yeah, it corrodes tha' internals."
  1226. [00:45] <+Lemon_Cookie> "They're pretty good about resistin' outside damage, it's gettin' used that damages them tha' most."
  1227. 12[00:46] <~Damhoof|GM> "Thats why we pirates have a big energy workshop at home." Flour burps. "We call it crabsticks. Got plenty of recyclable ammo too, and uhm. Something. I don`t pay much attention."
  1228. [00:47] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Interestin'..."
  1229. 08[00:47] * +Mayhem looks at the colt "A gem recharger maybe?"
  1230. 12[00:48] <~Damhoof|GM> "I never looked into it. Mom only let her shoot with pistol once, and we aren`t allowed to play in the crabsticks."
  1231. [00:48] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... ya' might be able ta' fix this up with parts from a scrapped terminal, sis. Gems are gems, though. Gonna' have ta' get tha' real McCoy fa' those."
  1232. 08[00:49] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods and examines the pistol "Probably."
  1233. 12[00:50] <~Damhoof|GM> The zebra colt blushes at the newfound attention from Mayhem. "Sorry. I just wanted to help. Pirates have lots of energy weapons. We like the pew pew pew sounds they make. They say before the great purge that we raided tons of shipments and were paid lots of money, but only Gold Swan and her captains knows where to find the stash so they sell it to us for caps instead of raiding like real pirates."
  1234. [00:50] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I'd need ta' gut it. Get some of tha' coils."
  1235. [00:51] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Oh yeah. You'd definitely have ta' crack it open."
  1236. [00:52] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Might be that tha' inside a' tha' chassis corroded an' started ta' impede tha' flow a' spark energy ta' tha' emission matrix..."
  1237. [00:52] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Looks like tha' conversion parts are pretty much friend and tha' accelarations coils have seen better days too."
  1238. [00:52] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *fried
  1239. [00:52] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Well..."
  1240. 08[00:52] * +Lemon_Cookie pops the weapon open and removes the spark pack.
  1241. [00:53] <+Mayhem> "Acceleration coils on a laser pistol? Only gauss guns have those."
  1242. [00:53] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Get me tha' parts or a terminal an' a workbench."
  1243. 08[00:53] * +Lemon_Cookie He flips it so they can take a look at the focusing matrix.
  1244. [00:53] <+Lemon_Cookie> "She means tha' focusin' matrix. It serves a containment an' projection function."
  1245. [00:53] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Tha' emitted plasma has ta' be accelerated too. Otherwise it's jus' a lump a' plasma floatin' inside tha' gun."
  1246. [00:54] <+Mayhem> "Didn't you say it was a laser pistol?"
  1247. [00:54] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Plasma."
  1248. [00:54] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... this is a spellfire-based sidearm," Lemon says to Mayhem.
  1249. 08[00:55] * +Mayhem "Oh well, forget what I said, then." turns back to eat her soup.
  1250. 15[00:55] * SampleTextAFK is now known as ApricotCordial
  1251. 08[00:56] * +Lemon_Cookie looks to Blueberry.
  1252. [00:56] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "So this is how it works in theory. Tha' pistol takes energy from tha' gem pack and uses it ta' generate magical plasma from it, much like a unicorn does."
  1253. [00:56] <+Lemon_Cookie> "No, no. I think we're borin' them..." Lemon mutters.
  1254. [00:56] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "That plasma has then be brought up tha' firin' speed. That's about it."
  1255. 08[00:57] * +Lemon_Cookie mutters "spellfire" when she says "plasma". Stickler for terminology.
  1256. 12[00:57] <~Damhoof|GM> "oh no. Don`t mind us." Honeycomb gives Lemon_Cookie a glance of interest. "I very much appreciate technobabble, even if I can hardly understand it I do grasp these basic concepts that you put forward."
  1257. 08[00:57] * +Mayhem "Lass, stop yer rambling." laughs "I know how those things work. I just thought ye said it was a laser pistol."
  1258. [00:57] <+Mayhem> "Those foreign ones can look a bit confusing."
  1259. [00:57] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sorry if I bored ya'."
  1260. [00:59] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Anyway, if ya' lucky, sis, tha' main matrices'll be alright an' only tha' support systems'll need replacin'."
  1261. 12[00:59] <~Damhoof|GM> "You sell yourself short Blueberry." Honeycomb puts a hoof her way. "Your enthusiasm for the craft has smitten me like a plant gathers rays from the sun. You were marvelous."
  1262. [00:59] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Shouldn't need ta' scrap a whole 'nother magiweapon to get tha' proper parts."
  1263. 08[01:00] * +Blueberry_Muffin blushes a bit "THank it."
  1264. [01:01] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *Thank you.
  1265. 12[01:03] <~Damhoof|GM> "Ah yes. And your brother seems like the perfect aide." Honeycomb nods at Lemon_Cookie before putting the sheets forward. "I simply cannot ask you to choose with nearly half the team incapacitated by the sun. It was foolish of me to bring these up."
  1266. 12[01:04] <~Damhoof|GM> "What do you think we should do Mayflower?"
  1267. 08[01:04] * +Lemon_Cookie nudges Blueberry before giving her a surreptitious, inquiring glance.
  1268. [01:07] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Hm? Sorry, I was jus' thinkin' about tha' gun."
  1269. 08[01:07] * +Lemon_Cookie chuckles slightly, smirking, before his face goes neutral again.
  1270. [01:07] <+Mayhem> "Well as long as e don't get this thing working, not the grave robbery."
  1271. 12[01:08] <~Damhoof|GM> "Frankly I wonder if we might want to do this one. Convince the rich merchant boy of his foolish mining venture notion and help him home. His father might provide an admirable ally later."
  1272. [01:08] <+Mayhem> "Otherwise I don't really care. But if you think that freeing those slaves might bite us in our plot later, than probably not that one."
  1273. [01:09] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... yeah. That's sorta' what I'm sayin, 'cept a little toned down."
  1274. [01:09] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm sayin' I can't envision an outcome where it /doesn't/ hurt us in some way."
  1275. 08[01:10] * +Blueberry_Muffin chuckles "That's what ya' get for bein' a merc."
  1276. [01:10] <+Lemon_Cookie> "So, no. No touchin' slaves if we can help it."
  1277. [01:11] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We should check-out that raider bounty fa' five-hundred."
  1278. 15[01:12] * ApricotCordial is now known as Sample_Text-Supper
  1279. [01:14] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I'm fine with either raiders or treasure huntin'
  1280. [01:14] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *"
  1281. [01:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Treasure huntin' seems... unwise."
  1282. [01:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Never know what kind a' freaky mojo a zebra shaman from before tha' war could've mixed-up."
  1283. [01:15] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Pfft. What could go wrong?"
  1284. [01:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Don't joke about magic, sis."
  1285. 08[01:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin rolls eyes "Oh fine."
  1286. [01:18] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Shit'll fuck ya' up," he mutters.
  1287. [01:18] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Raiders then?"
  1288. 12[01:18] <~Damhoof|GM> "Raiders along the dune sea trade route." Honeycomb reads the sheet text out loud and smiles "Whatever we do pick the wolf mercs are bound to do some of the other missions. We are getting our jobs from the same employer after all."
  1289. [01:19] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Maybe they'll all take tha' tomb mission an' get turned inta' zombie thralls," he mumbles.
  1290. [01:22] <+Mayhem> "As I said, you are the smartheads here. You think of what we do, I only tell ye where my abilities are used best."
  1291. [01:22] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I think in that case raider huntin' is our best choice, right?"
  1292. [01:23] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yes. An' we don't necessarily have ta' hunt 'em, either."
  1293. [01:23] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... gonna' need some binoculars, though. Good rifle, too."
  1294. [01:23] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Well..."
  1295. 12[01:23] <~Damhoof|GM> "It is on the same mountain range as this noble sons mining venture. They suspect the raiders for taking shelter in one of the long since abandoned mines."
  1296. [01:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Stuff we don't have. We'd have ta' get up close an' personal anyway."
  1297. [01:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "So they're proper raiders an' not like... a desperate village a' somethin'?"
  1298. 12[01:25] <~Damhoof|GM> "The sheet says raiders. The usual reaping, mouth frothing savages of the wasteland as back home."
  1299. [01:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Delegation from Shattered Hoof didn't look like they were frothin' at tha' mouth, but tha' word 'raider' was tossed around a bunch," Lemon mutters.
  1300. [01:27] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Because they behaved like 'em. Bein' all loud an' everythin'."
  1301. [01:28] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Let's vote. Who is for raider huntin'.?"
  1302. 12[01:28] <~Damhoof|GM> "There is a note here suggesting they might be former treasure hunters. The large mountanous part of the trade route has a famous Equine shaped entrance to a cave beyond a place nicknamed the Dust Devil Pass, but it was never picked on before due to the horrible winds. Some kind of hurricane megaspell that cleaned the place out."
  1303. [01:28] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Let's go solve a problem, then."
  1304. [01:29] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "So raider huntin' it is?"
  1305. 12[01:33] <~Damhoof|GM> "Regardless. I shall stay in the city. I have places I wish to see, and I could act as your manager here while taking care of Flour."
  1306. [01:34] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "That does sounds like a good idea."
  1307. [01:35] <+Lemon_Cookie> "In that case, ya' might want ta' lend May... somethin' ya' laspistol."
  1308. [01:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "This isn't leadin' anywhere. I say we go raider huntin' and that's that."
  1309. [01:36] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Any objections?"
  1310. 12[01:36] <~Damhoof|GM> "I could certainly do that." Honeycomb nods at Lemon_Cookie. "Your suggestion is admirably pragmatic."
  1311. [01:36] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I suggested it first, so ya' not gonna' hear any objections from me."
  1312. 08[01:37] * +Mayhem just shugs
  1313. [01:37] <+Mayhem> *shrugs
  1314. [01:39] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Chrome_Veneer?"
  1315. 08[01:39] * +Chrome_Veneer remains asleep, overstrained.
  1316. 08[01:39] * +Chrome_Veneer on the one overly-cleaned bed.
  1317. [01:40] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Okay then. I think the decision is made."
  1318. 08[01:40] * +Blueberry_Muffin puts a hoof on the corresponding contract
  1319. 12[01:40] <~Damhoof|GM> "I suspect he and the miss to be asleep. The travel must have strained them. Just be sure to talk it over in the morrow." Honeycomb picks up Flours and her own bowl. "We should get some rest too."
  1320. [01:40] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Mmh."
  1321. 08[01:41] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Mhm. Rest sounds good."
  1322. 12[01:41] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycombs magic whisks the sheets towards Lemon_Cookie. "You can keep these."
  1323. 12[01:42] <~Damhoof|GM> The golden mare gets up from her seating and heads out into the kitchen with hers and Flours bowl. The Albino zebra colt looks from Blueberry_Muffin to Honeycomb and then back. "Uhm. Are you going away?"
  1324. 08[01:43] * +Lemon_Cookie looks for the food he's forgotten up until just this moment.
  1325. 08[01:43] * +Mayhem stands up and carries her bowl to the kitchen, then starts to move to the bedrooms "Will you join me Honey?" smiles at Honeycomb.
  1326. [01:43] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We're gonna go on a mission. You'll stay with miss Honeycomb here. Do you promise to behave?"
  1327. 12[01:44] <~Damhoof|GM> "Uhu. If you promise to help find my dad and give me a hug when you get back." The zebra colt mutters and then blushes.
  1328. 08[01:44] * +Blueberry_Muffin giggles and hugs Flour
  1329. 08[01:45] * +Blueberry_Muffin sits down, hugs Flour and gives him a peck on the cheeck. "Now we jus' have ta' find your daddy."
  1330. 12[01:46] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb smiles at Mayhem. "Just going to put Flour to sleep. We`ll find you some nice bed."
  1331. 08[01:46] * +Blueberry_Muffin blushes a bit "Can I,uhm, help?"
  1332. [01:47] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm. I don't know where I'm sleepin' either."
  1333. 12[01:48] <~Damhoof|GM> "And here I thought you couldn`t afford me." Honeycomb sends Blueberry_Muffin a sly smile.
  1334. 08[01:48] * +Blueberry_Muffin blushes "Uhm...yeah..."
  1335. 08[01:49] * +Mayhem "Well, let's get you to bed then, little guy." smiles at the little zebra
  1336. 08[01:50] * +Blueberry_Muffin d'awwwws at Flour. She would very much like to adopt him.
  1337. 12[01:51] <~Damhoof|GM> "You poor pony." Honeycomb sends Flour towards Blueberry_Muffin. "Why don`t you help him to bed. I`m sure he would love that." The albino colt nods.
  1338. 08[01:51] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods and picks up Flour "C'mon little guy. Let's put ya' ta' bed."
  1339. 08[01:51] * +Lemon_Cookie stands there and wonders what the hell his sister did in three days that got her involved like... /this/.
  1340. 08[01:53] * +Blueberry_Muffin puts Flour into one of the "love domes" next to her.
  1341. 12[01:53] <~Damhoof|GM> "Good night Lemon_Cookie." Honeycomb`s sly smile reaches the pink maned pony and she sways her hips extra as she leaves with Mayhem.
  1342. 08[01:53] * +Lemon_Cookie follows Blueberry.
  1343. 12[01:53] <~Damhoof|GM> Flour looks at Blueberry_muffin. "Can you sing a night song?"
  1344. [01:53] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uhm...maybe."
  1345. 08[01:54] * +Blueberry_Muffin clears her throat and starts to sing "Hush now quiet now, it's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed."
  1346. 12[01:55] <~Damhoof|GM> The zebra colt waves easily to the small song and closes his eyes with a mighty yawn. "Goodnight Flour." Honeycomb adds as she climbs onto the loveseat alongside Blueberry_Muffin.
  1347. [01:56] <+Blueberry_Muffin> After she is done, Blueberry kisses the sleeping Flour in the forehead and lies down. Shortly after she falls asleep as well.
  1348. 15[01:56] * Blueberry_Muffin is now known as Laini
  1349. [01:56] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... would somepony point out ta' me where I should be sleeping, 'cause I'm just confused at this point."
  1350. 12[01:57] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb runs a hoof along her sheets and looks to Mayhem. "Why Lemon_Cookie. There are tons of bedding avaiable."
  1351. 08[01:59] * +Mayhem walks over to where Honeycomb is lying, her hips swaying as she disposes of her top and lays down next to the golden mare.
  1352. 08[01:59] * +Lemon_Cookie stands there awkwardly, muzzle scrunched.
  1353. 08[02:00] * +Lemon_Cookie He never took off any of his kit -- save for his canteen -- so he's standing there in full barding with a pair of saddlebags around his midsection.
  1354. 12[02:01] <~Damhoof|GM> "Do you need help finding a bed Lemon_Cookie?" Honeycomb asks seductively while putting away her purse. "Theres room for three."
  1355. 15[02:01] * Mayhem is now known as Arx_Sanare
  1356. [02:02] <+Lemon_Cookie> "No. Just wonderin' if we're still doin' that 'split-up tha' genders' thin'."
  1357. 12[02:04] <~Damhoof|GM> "I don`t mind a stallion sleeping in the same room as me. Infact I prefer company in my bed." Honeycomb looks to Mayhem with lazy eyes glaced in sleep.
  1358. 15[02:04] * Sample_Text-Supper is now known as Sample_Text
  1359. 08[02:05] * +Sample_Text snoozes in the library still I guess
  1360. [02:05] <+Arx_Sanare> <Mayhem> grins at her and pecs her on the nose, before looking over her shoulder at Lemon_Cookie with bedroom eyes
  1361. 08[02:05] * +Lemon_Cookie loosens his collar uncomfortably.
  1362. [02:06] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Eh... either a' ya' seen Sample about?"
  1363. 12[02:06] <~Damhoof|GM> "She was in the library when I saw her last." Honeycomb points Lemon_Cookie towards the place with a hoof.
  1364. [02:07] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm. Which beds are unoccupied?"
  1365. 08[02:08] * +Sample_Text quietly makes her way out of the llibrary down the hall towards an empty room.
  1366. 12[02:08] <~Damhoof|GM> "There are four unoccupied beds in this room Lemon_Cookie." Honeycomb pecks Mayhems muzzle back.
  1367. [02:10] <+Arx_Sanare> <Mayhem>traces her fingers down Honeycombs side and draws lazy cirlces on her cutiemark
  1368. 08[02:12] * +Lemon_Cookie wiggles his muzzle back and forth, thinking. Eventually, he decides he'll just bother her in the morning.
  1369. 08[02:13] * +Sample_Text finds one at the end of the hall and jumps into bed without hesitation/
  1370. 08[02:14] * +Lemon_Cookie He seems to be avoiding looking at the two bedded lovers.
  1371. 12[02:14] <~Damhoof|GM> "Theres room in me for two." Honeycomb suggests to Lemon_Cookie in a mildly amused tone, before wrapping the cloth cover around the loveseat and turning to mayhem with a lewd giggle.
  1372. 08[02:15] * +Lemon_Cookie sighs and walks over to an unoccupied bed, checking for unpleasant odors.
  1373. [02:16] <+Arx_Sanare> <Mayhem>"I think you scared him away." giggles.
  1374. 12[02:16] <~Damhoof|GM> Lemon_Cookie finds that the bedding looks and smells relatively clean. Though there is a small afterscent of lust and mare juices lingering from deep within the bedding despite the clean sheets.
  1375. 12[02:17] <~Damhoof|GM> "He could be listening.~" Honeycomb suggests lewdly to Mayhem.
  1376. [02:18] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Jus'... not interested," he whispers in a near-sigh.
  1377. [02:20] <+Arx_Sanare> <Mayhem>"Oh I like your ideas." gets a huge grin on her face.
  1378. 08[02:22] * +Lemon_Cookie begins to undress.
  1379. 12[02:22] <~Damhoof|GM> "Poor boy needs his rest, and some relaxing activity before the journey tomorrow would do him good." Honeycomb moans lewdly to lure a reaction from Lemon_Cookie but turns her attention to Mayhem. Rubbing her neckline with magically enhanced hooves. "Poor dear. You need to stop being so agressive."
  1380. [02:24] <+Arx_Sanare> <Mayhem> can't help but throw a few glances over at the stallion, while he undresses, but looks back at Honeycomb in the end. "Yeah, maybe you are right." sighs in pleasure at the contact
  1381. 12[02:26] <~Damhoof|GM> "Flop around and I`ll do your behind some good while i still can." Honeycomb smiles to Mayhem.
  1382. 08[02:27] * +Lemon_Cookie finds himself nursing a headache.
  1383. [02:27] <+Arx_Sanare> <Mayhem> grins and gives her the bedroom eyes again, before kissing her quickly and turns around.
  1384. 08[02:28] * +Lemon_Cookie picks up all his stuff and heads for the hallway.
  1385. 08[02:28] * +Lemon_Cookie No red-blooded stallion could possibly get any sleep with all /this/ going on.
  1386. 12[02:31] <~Damhoof|GM> Honeycomb expertly begins to rub Mayhems neck and shoulders before moving on down the spinal collumn with professional care.
  1387. [02:35] <+Arx_Sanare> <Mayhem>starts to moan slightly, sinking her muzzle in the cushion to stiffle them prematurely
  1388. 12[02:36] <~Damhoof|GM> ------------------------------------------------------------------------session4-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1389. 15[02:37] * +Sample_Text ([email protected]) has left #foesand
  1390. 12[02:37] <~Damhoof|GM> The party gains 250 experience, and tons of missions to complete. Mayhem gains Honeycombed. +2 initiative
