  1. [19:54] <@Spirit> The moment they step through the door, the temperature rises dramatically as the terrain shows a desert in summer. Around them is a moderately small village, most of the buildings seem to be built from scrap materel combined with dirt and clay mixtures, the population consists of many, many zebras and a few unicorns and even fewer earth ponies. Just on the horizon lies a cloud barrier in the
  2. [19:54] <@Spirit> sky.
  3. [19:56] * Spirit grins and gestures to the scene, "Zebrica."
  4. [19:57] * Proverb takes in the scene, her face lighting up as she looked around. She giggles a bit. "It's hot, just like you~."
  5. [19:58] * Spirit giggles, "It IS a desert place," She throws a wing over Proverb, "This is the village I live in."
  6. [20:01] * Proverb nuzzles her lightly, looking towards the village. "It's nice... s-so much more, well, heh, nicer than Moosecow.
  7. [20:03] * Spirit starts further into the village, "I haven't seen Moosecow, but it's a simple village." A few of the resident zebras notice them, but smile and move on.
  8. [20:07] * Proverb nods. "I-It's... well, underground?" She chuckles a little.
  9. [20:08] * Spirit blinks, "Oh! Right, you don't get to see the sun... now you do though!"
  10. [20:09] * Proverb nods, squeeing a bit. I-It's been awhile since I h-have."
  11. [20:11] * Spirit nuzzles Proverb, "Now, where do you want to go?"
  12. [20:12] <Proverb> "Where is there /to/ go? You live here, not me, silly filly~"
  13. [20:14] * Lazer ([email protected]) has joined #Afterall
  14. [20:15] * Spirit giggles, "I could show you my home, the gathering center, or have you meet Brightears!"
  15. [20:17] * Proverb hmmms. "Well, uhm, c-can we stop at your house first? I, uhh, n-need to take all this barding off." She says. She's also sweating/panting, whichever ponies do.
  16. [20:21] * Spirit nods, "okay!" She seems acclimated, and starts trotting towards a two-story home, leading Proverb to the door.
  17. [20:22] * Proverb follows, panting slightly.
  18. [20:23] * Spirit opens the door and trots in, the door doesn't even have a lock.
  19. [20:29] * Lazer is now known as Vigil
  20. [20:29] * Proverb follows Spirit inside, looking around.
  21. [20:30] <@Spirit> The home is a modest place with very little furniture, the door leads to a small landing, with the living room through a door on the right and a staircase leading up.
  22. [20:30] * Proverb nuzzles Spirit. "It's cozy~"
  23. [20:31] * Spirit smiles and nuzzles back, "Mhm, my room's upstairs, I'll go get some water."
  24. [20:33] * Proverb nods. "I'll put my stuff up there then."
  25. [20:34] * Spirit nods, and trots into the living room area.
  26. [20:36] * Proverb pulls off her tac vest and barding, leaving her VKS up in the room as well. She holsters her M1911 on the inside of her right hindleg, partially concealled by her tail, and trots back downstairs to where Spirit was.
  27. [20:40] <@Spirit> The living room has a handwoven rug covering most of the dirt-like flooring, and there are three sitting pillows on the rug and a fireplace sits in the corner, not lit during the day for obvious reasons, and a door sits under the wall where the staircase would be and a doorway on the far wall leads to a kitchen. Spirit is standing in the doorway with her wings extended and two glasses of
  28. [20:40] <@Spirit> water balancing on them.
  29. [20:42] * Proverb resits the urge to run over and huggle the other mare, namely because of the water glasses on her wings. She does trot over and kiss her gently though. "It's... really nice here Spirit." She says. "I can see why you like it."
  30. [20:44] * Spirit smiles and offer the water glass to Proverb, "I do. Everyzebra's nice too."
  31. [20:46] * Proverb nods, taking the glass of water and drinking it. "Mmmm. Well, I'd l-love to meet some of them then... but not too many..."
  32. [20:47] * Spirit nods, "Of course, how about I introduce you to Brightears first?"
  33. [20:47] * Proverb nods. "Sure!"
  34. [20:50] * Spirit smiles, "He'll be in the tree-shaped hut!" She drinks her glass of water, and sets the glass on the ground, making for the door.
  35. [20:53] * Proverb nods and follows, totally eyeing Spirit's flank as she did.
  36. [20:56] * Spirit leads the way, flicking her tail a bit for Proverb, but stops as they enter a more crowded spot and leads Proverb up to an almost perfect replica of a large oak tree with a metal door.
  37. [20:57] * Proverb sticks close to Spirit as the number of zebras increase.
  38. [20:58] * Spirit raps on the door with a few knocks.
  39. [21:01] * Reverie ([email protected]) Quit ( Connection closed )
  40. [21:01] <@Spirit> An almost unnaturally tall unicorn answers the door. His coat is a sunshine yellow laced with white stripes and his mane is a short, scraggly orange while his eyes are a clear, pure sky blue. A smile of recognition crosses his face, "Oh! Spirit, welcome!" He notices proverb and looks her up and down, "Who's your guest?"
  41. [21:01] * Proverb eeps.
  42. [21:06] * Spirit smiles, "This is Proverb, my marefriend, I came here to show her around, and to have her meet you!"
  43. [21:07] * Proverb squeaks something, her mane falling over her face.
  44. [21:10] <@Spirit> Brightears smiles happily, "Ah! Hello Proverb! I'm Brightears!" He gives a light bow, "Come in, come in!" He starts towards the kitchen, "I'll prepare water and some wafers!"
  45. [21:11] * Spirit smiles at Proverb, "It's okay, he's nice."
  46. [21:12] * Proverb is practically clinging to Spirit. "A-A-A-A-A-Are y-y-y-you s-s-s-s-sure? H-H-H-He's s-s-so b-b-big..."
  47. [21:14] * Spirit nuzzles Proverb, gently prodding her in, "Of course, I promise."
  48. [21:18] * Proverb nods, slowly relaxing. "Ok-kay..."
  49. [21:19] <@Spirit> Brightears calls, "Are you coming?"
  50. [21:22] * Proverb squeaks. "Y-Yeah!"
  51. [21:26] * Spirit guides Proverb into his living room, similar to Spirit's, but with a bookcase and a potted plant collection near a covered window. Brightears trots out of the kitchen levitating three glasses of water and a plate of waf... wait... sugar cookies. He sits on a cushon and sets the cookies and water down on the rug covered floor.
  52. [21:28] * Proverb 's ears perk up, brushing her mane out of her face as she spies dem cookies~
  53. [21:32] * Spirit and Brightears both smile as Proverb perks up at the cookies. Spirit smiles, "Brightears, you know just how to win a pony over."
  54. [21:33] * Proverb smiles shyly to Brightears. "Uhm, h-hi..."
  55. [21:33] <@Spirit> Brightears smiles back, "Hello."
  56. [21:37] * Proverb rubs a hoof against her leg. "Uhm..." She stares intently at the ground now, blushing.
  57. [21:38] <@Spirit> Brightears cocks his head, "Have a cookie. You should smile."
  58. [21:41] * Spirit nuzzles Proverb
  59. [21:41] * Proverb nodnods, plopping down on the floor and nomming a cookie. Cuteness overload.
  60. [21:43] * Spirit dawws, her heart melting
  61. [21:43] <@Spirit> Brightears smiles, "Is it good?"
  62. [21:44] * Proverb looks back at Brighteyes and Spirit, half of a cookie still in her muzzle as she nodded vigourusly.
  63. [21:54] * Spirit smiles, "You're so adorable!"
  64. [21:54] * Proverb gulps down the cookie, blushing.
  65. [21:55] <@Spirit> Brightears continues smiling, "I see why you fell for her."
  66. [21:55] * Spirit blushes herself now.
  67. [21:58] * Proverb offers Spirit a cookie now, motioning for her to sit next to her.
  68. [22:00] * Spirit sits and nibbles on the offered cookie.
  69. [22:00] * Proverb meanwhile nibbles a bit on Spirit's ear, giggling.
  70. [22:00] * Spirit squeaks a bit
  71. [22:01] <@Spirit> Brightears chuckles and stands, "You two are an adorable couple. Is there anything aside from a visit you are here for?"
  72. [22:01] * Proverb giggles, helping Spirit finish off all dem cookies.
  73. [22:02] <Proverb> "Well, Spirit's bed looks nice...." She grins, nudging Spirit a bit.
  74. [22:04] <@Spirit> Brightears sighs a bit, "Please refrain from flirting in my home."
  75. [22:05] * Spirit nudges Proverb back, whispering, "It's a bit rude to do that as a guest."
  76. [22:06] * Proverb meeps. "S-Sorry..."
  77. [22:08] <@Spirit> Brightears nods, "Thank you, apology accepted."
  78. [22:18] <Proverb> "A-Anyway, uhm, well, I'm, r-really not h-hear for a-anything else o-other than to visit... u-unless Spirit w-wants to do something."
  79. [22:21] * Spirit shakes her head, "Just a visit, Brightears." She stands, bowing, "Thank you for your hospitality."
  80. [22:26] * Proverb nods, standing and bowing a little ackwardly, ending up faceplanting into the floor with an oof.
  81. [22:28] <@Spirit> Brightears bows back, "You are welcome to return when you see fit."
  82. [22:28] * Spirit helps proverb up, giggling, "Let's go now, silly filly."
  83. [22:29] * Proverb dusts herself off, nodding to Spirit. "Onward!" She squees.
  84. [22:30] * Spirit trots out of Brightears's home with Proverb, "Where to next?"
  85. [22:31] * Proverb shrugs. "Where else is there to go?"
  86. [22:32] <@Spirit> "Um... we could go to the Equestrian Provinces, but the Enclave might catch us then."
  87. [22:34] * Proverb considers. "Uhm, wh-what's there?"
  88. [22:34] * Spirit smiles, "Oh, maybe the group that was formerly the NFA, or the NCR."
  89. [22:38] * Proverb 's ears perk. "Well, uhm, s-sure! But, I sh-should grab my sniper, j-just in case..."
  90. [22:38] * Spirit nods, and smiles, "Not now though, tomorrow."
  91. [22:39] * Proverb nodnods. "Okiedokie!"
  92. [22:40] * Spirit giggles and nuzzles Proverb, "Now... you mentioned something about my bed?"
  93. [22:40] * Proverb nips Spirit's ear. "I think I did~"
  94. [22:42] * Spirit nudges Proverb along, "Back to my place then."
  95. [22:42] * Proverb nodnodnodnods, following Spirit.
  96. [22:52] * Proverb flankgazes the whole way back to Spirit's house~
  97. [22:52] * Spirit giggles, leading Proverb up to the comfy, lightly covered bed.
  98. [22:55] * Proverb embraces Spirit, kissing her deeply as they layed down on the bed together.
  99. -------PART 2-------
  100. [15:46] * Spirit awakens snuggled next to Proverb on her bed back in her home in Zebrica. She wouldn't mind this everyday. Although it was time to get up, she wasn't sure when Proverb had another shift, but it'd be best to show her around before they had to go.
  101. [15:47] * Proverb is still asleep, curled up against Spirit.
  102. [15:48] * Spirit nudges Proverb awake, "Hey, Provy, time to get up..." She speaks gently
  103. [15:49] * Proverb 's ear flicks as she murrs quietly, opening her eye. "Mmmmm, but you're so soooooft~" She says sleepily.
  104. [15:50] * Spirit giggles, "C'mon silly filly, we need to get up now if you want to make it back in time for whenever your next shift is."
  105. [15:51] * Proverb yawns. "Not until next *yaaaaawn* week."
  106. [15:52] * Spirit nudges Proverb again, "Still. Didn't you want me to take you to the Equestrian Provinces?"
  107. [15:55] * Proverb nods. "You got any coffee?" She asks, nibbling a bit on Spirit's ear.
  108. [15:56] * Spirit shakes her head, possibly lodging her ear in Proverb's mouth, "Nope. We stretch to wake up."
  109. [15:57] * Proverb frowns. "But coffeeeeeee~"
  110. [15:58] * Spirit licks Proverb's cheek, "Sorry hun. It's just not a Zebra thing to drink."
  111. [16:00] * Proverb kisses Spirit on the nose. "Alright then.
  112. [16:00] <Proverb> "*
  113. [16:01] * Spirit kisses Proverb's forehead before standing up and trotting downstairs.
  114. [16:02] * Proverb rolls out of bed, following Spirit down.
  115. [16:03] * Spirit is sitting in a strange position on the floor, her limbs slightly contorted.
  116. [16:04] * Proverb cocks her head. "Uhm..."
  117. [16:04] * Spirit leans up and smiles, "Just morning stretching."
  118. [16:09] * Proverb nods, trotting over next to her. She knew stretches too, as they were part of her PT back in Moosecow.
  119. [16:10] * Spirit stretches for a good while, shakes it off, douses her head in water from the kitchen, and slips on her zebra stealth cloak.
  120. [16:15] * Proverb retrieves her pistol and VKS from the bedroom, joining Spirit back downstairs. Without her bulky armor and tac vest on, the sniper slung over her back was clearly longer than she was.
  121. [16:16] * Spirit blinks at Proverb's gun, "It always amazes me that you can use that thing."
  122. [16:18] * Proverb giggles, nuzzling Spirit. "Well, shall we go then?"
  123. [16:18] * Spirit nods, slinging a canteen over her neck, she opens the door for Proverb.
  124. [16:20] * Proverb trots out, adjusting her eyepatch slightly.
  125. [16:21] * Spirit leads Proverb toward the horizon, where a rather large cloud formation is seen.
  126. [16:26] * Proverb follows after Spirit, frowning slightly at the clouds. "They st-till are keeping the skies closed?"
  127. [16:28] * Spirit shakes her head, "That's the capital city of the Enclave, New Cloudsdale."
  128. [16:30] * Proverb nods. "Ahh, well, th-that's good then."
  129. [16:32] * Spirit nods again, smiling, "Things are much better now, but we still have to be careful of the Enclave." They travel for a while, coming to a coast, and a costal town.
  130. [16:34] * Proverb nods, looking over towards the town. "Oooh, wh-what town is that?"
  131. [16:35] <@Spirit> "Port Zebrica. Just where you can find a vertibuck or boat to the Equestrian Province."
  132. [16:36] * Proverb nods. "Woo~" She says, giggling.
  133. [16:37] * Spirit giggles back, and trots into town, "Now by what way do you want to travel?"
  134. [16:37] <Proverb> "Well, how do you wanna? I'm fine with either."
  135. [16:43] <@Spirit> "Boat would take longer, but would be fun, vertibuck has risk of being caught by Enclave, but would be shorter."
  136. [16:44] * Proverb ponders. "Hmm, boat!"
  137. [16:48] * Spirit smiles, "Okay!" She trots closer to the shore, where a few boats are anchored and a couple zebras and ponies are working hard maintining them.
  138. [16:48] * Proverb trots after her. Yay boat ride~
  139. [16:50] * Spirit giggles and speaks to one of the captains, a scrappy zebra stallion with a spiraly glyphmark.
  140. [16:52] * Proverb stands behind her and off to the side while she talked to the zebra, staring intently at anywhere but said zebra.
  141. [16:55] * Spirit smiles and nods, finishing talking to the zebra. She looks at Proverb, "We have travel! We just need to help him work the boat out at sea!"
  142. [16:57] * Proverb nodnods. "Okies! Uhm... h-how do we, uhm, d-do that?"
  143. [16:59] * Spirit hops onto the nearby boat, "Just cooking and cleaning stuff, pushing and pulling on ropes, the rest he'll instruct us as we go along."
  144. [17:00] * Proverb nodnods, following Spirit. "H-How long will it take?"
  145. [17:03] * Spirit shrugs, "Maybe a week? Or could be just a few hours!"
  146. [17:03] * Proverb blinks. "Uhm, that's a... really big difference..."
  147. [17:04] * Spirit nods, "Weather's not quite predictable over the sea."
  148. [17:05] * Proverb nods. "Okay then! But I hope it doesn't take very long."
  149. [17:11] * Spirit grins, "As soon as the captain says the word, we're off!"
  150. [17:14] * Proverb nods, fluttering her wings a bit in excitement.
  151. [17:17] <Proverb> "Woohoo~"
  152. [17:18] * Spirit giggles, and the captain arrives, and the ship disembarks. And they set sail for Equestria
  153. [17:25] <@Spirit> Two days pass on the boat, and the two ponies are kept busy by the captain's orders. Much fun was had, involving fishing, checkers and cards. Although eventually, they land, and are let out in the town called, 'Port Equestria'.
  154. [17:28] * Proverb absolutely demolished everypony on board at blackjack, much to their dismay. She looks around, streching. "That was fun, though, I think we should take a Vert back." She says.
  155. [17:31] * Spirit nods, "I agree, that'll be a nice change. But for now, welcome to the Equestrian Provinces!" She gestures to the relatively flat lands that lay before them outside the town.
  156. [17:32] * Proverb nods, gazing around. "Ooooh~"
  157. [17:35] * Spirit smiles at Proverb's look, "It's an okay break, but I like the warm desert."
  158. [17:37] * Proverb nods. "It's nice there." She says. "So, uhm, where to now?"
  159. [17:40] * Spirit shrugs, "Whereever!"
  160. [17:53] * Proverb giggles. "Hmm, oooh! I know! Let's go shopping!" She squees, bouncing up and down a little.
  161. [17:54] * Spirit giggles, "Okay! Lots of stuff around!"
  162. [17:56] * Proverb grins, nudging Spirit a bit. "Hehehe, I wanna get you in a dress, preferably one that hugs that hot, sexy flank of yours." She whispers into her ear, before giggling.
  163. [17:58] * Spirit blushes and wingbats at Proverb, "Provy!"
  164. [17:58] * Proverb collapses in a fit of giggles, her hooves flailing in the air a bit.
  165. [18:05] * Spirit giggles, "Maybe I should go buy some better rope, more silky... oh!" She approaches and whispers, "Maybe hoofcuffs..."
  166. [18:06] * Proverb eeps, blushing hotly. "...meep!"
  167. [18:08] * Spirit giggles back, falling on her flank
  168. [18:10] * Proverb rolls onto her hooves, nudging Spirit up. "Well, let's get shopping then." She said with a grin.
  169. [18:16] * Spirit stands and puts a wing over Proverb, leading her to a store where dresses are sold.
  170. [18:20] * Proverb follows after her, trotting into the store.
  171. [18:22] * Spirit starts trapsing around, looking at the shimmery styles of outfits, but stops at a few simpler, airy designs.
  172. [18:24] * Proverb stands next to Spirit, pointing out a few that looked nice. Little did Spirit know, Provy already had a dress of her own, and she knew for a fact it drove Nguvu crazy.
  173. [18:26] * Spirit agrees with some of Proverb's points, dissagreeing with others, and tries on a few.
  174. [18:29] * Proverb appraises Spirit, trotting around her as she tried on different dresses.
  175. [18:33] * Spirit giggles, trying on a simple light brown dress, coated with zebra designs.
  176. [18:37] * Proverb admires it, admires it, admi *FWOOMP*
  177. [18:37] * Spirit blinks, and giggles at Proverb, "Too much?"
  178. [18:38] * Proverb blushes hotly. "N-No..." She squeaks. "I l-l-l-like it...."
  179. [18:40] * Spirit nudges Proverb's wing, "Seems a bit like it."
  180. [18:42] * Proverb squeaks, managing to fold her wings back in, nodding. "Y-Yep!"
  181. [18:47] * Spirit giggles, "You like something so modest?"
  182. [18:50] * Proverb nods a bit, still blushing. "It looks v-very nice on you."
  183. [18:54] <@Spirit> "I think I'll get it."
  184. [18:56] * Proverb squees a bit.
  185. [18:58] * Spirit smiles and makes her purchase, "Did you find anything?"
  186. [19:00] * Proverb grins. "I already have a dress, and I know for a fact that it drives Nguvu crazy~" She giggles.
  187. [19:01] * Spirit blinks, "Oh! I should see that at sometime!"
  188. [19:01] * Proverb nods, grinning. "Oh, you will~"
  189. [19:03] * Spirit giggles. "Hm... Maybe... oh! We should show Nguvu our dresses at the same time, see if we can make him pass out!"
  190. [19:04] * Proverb giggles. "Oh, oh yes! That would be hilarious!"
  191. [19:11] * Spirit starts for the exit.
  192. [19:12] * Proverb trots after Spirit.
  193. [19:15] <@Spirit> "What next?"
  194. [19:16] * Proverb giggles. "You said something about ropes and hoofcuffs~?"
  195. [19:16] * Spirit grins, "I did."
  196. [19:17] * Proverb licks her lips. "Well then, lets get some~" She giggles.
  197. [19:56] * Spirit smiles, "It'll be hard to find the right shop that carries..." She looks around, and whispers conspiriatorily, "kinks like that."
  198. [19:58] * Proverb giggles. "Mmmm, perhaps we should find it later... cause I'm going to want to, hehe, try them out, once we get them~"
  199. [19:59] * Spirit nods, "Later then. Can't wait..."
  200. [20:00] * Proverb nips Spirit's ear, giggling. "So... what now?"
  201. [20:01] * Spirit thinks, "How about visiting the military base north west?"
  202. [20:02] <Proverb> "Military base? Sure!"
  203. [20:06] * Spirit smiles and nods, leading Proverb out of town, trotting with her packaged dress on her back.
  204. [20:06] * Proverb follows after her occassionally staring at her flank.
  205. [20:08] * Spirit giggles, obviously noticing Proverb looking, and she swishes her tail once they're out of town. "I thought we fixed your staring problem last night."
  206. [20:08] * Proverb licks her lips. "One can never stare at your flank too much~"
  207. [20:09] * Proverb nips said flank for emphasis.
  208. [20:09] * Spirit squeaks, and turns facing her with a menacing grin, "Don't make me snatch the rope out of your tail early!"
  209. [20:11] * Proverb plants a firm kiss right on Spirit's lips. "Mmmm, there's no pony else around, I wouldn't mind~"
  210. [20:14] * Spirit kisses back before pulling back, "Has Nguvu ever told you that you have an insatiable hunger?" She giggles.
  211. [20:16] * Proverb laughs. "Nope!"
  212. [20:19] * Spirit smiles, "Well." She gives Proverb a peck on the cheek, "I do, so not right now. We have a base to visit."
  213. [20:20] * Proverb giggles. "Okie dokies.~ Let's go!"
  214. [20:21] * Spirit trots for the base, taking a few hours. Somewhere above them, an Enclave patrol starts tracking them.
  215. [20:26] * Proverb follows after Spirit!
  216. [20:30] * Spirit smiles and nudges Proverb's wing. Then suddenly, they're surrounded by moderately armored Pegasi!
  217. [20:33] * Proverb looks over at Spirit, smiling, only to suddenly be surrounded. Everything happens at once as she dropped into a combat stance, her VKS snapping up as she grabbbed Spirit, pulling her behind her.
  218. [20:34] * Spirit squeaks, "Enclave!"
  219. [20:36] * Proverb stares down the scope at them. Her Dashite Brand was clearly visible in the absense of her armor.
  220. [20:36] <@Spirit> The pegasi draw weapons as Proverb readies her VKS, "Hold." one of the stallions speaks up, "You're coming with us Terrorist, you and your accomplice."
  221. [20:38] * Proverb shifts her aim from one to another. There were too many even for her to take, and Spirit was unarmed. She slowly lowers her rifle. "What for?" She growls.
  222. [20:38] <@Spirit> "Questioning."
  223. [20:40] * Proverb looks back at Spirit, before nodding slowly. "Why?"
  224. [20:42] * Spirit is quivering a little. The stallion responds, "Because you're a marked terrorist, and the Provicial agreements allow us to capture any marked Terrorist without question. You resist, and we are authorized to kill."
  225. [20:44] * Proverb drops her VKS, pulling out her 1911 and dropping it next to it. She presses against Spirit reassuringly. "It'll be fine, I won't let anything happen to you, okay?"
  226. [20:45] * Spirit nods, "I trust you..." She's still scared.
  227. [20:49] * Proverb swallows nervously. She hoped their records didn't go back 200 years, or she was going to be in the same situation she was in when she escaped the Enclave in the first place.
  228. [20:52] <@Spirit> The pegasi approach, one of them starts radioing for a vertibuck to pick up some captured terrorists.
  229. [20:52] * Proverb puts a wing over Spirit, holding her close.
  230. [20:55] * Spirit whimpers, "Proverb... I'm still wanted..."
  231. [20:56] <@Spirit> One of the pegasi calls, "Take away her gun, and check them both for anything dangerous."
  232. [20:56] <Proverb> "Shhh, It'll be fine, okay?"
  233. [20:56] * Proverb 's guns are already on the ground.
  234. [20:58] <@Spirit> Two of the guards approach Proverb and Spirit, pushing away Proverb's dropped gun and starting to search them for anything else, taking Spirit's dress box and putting it in a pile with her stealth cloak. As far as whatever Proverb's got in her tail... they found the rope at least.
  235. [21:00] * Proverb blushes ever so slightly at that.
  236. [21:01] <@Spirit> After finishing their search, a Vertibuck drops from the sky, and the two are urged to board.
  237. [21:05] * Proverb trots into the Vert. It's familiar to her, having flown in them all the time in both the Enclave and DCR.
  238. [21:07] * Spirit trots on with Proverb, quietly
  239. [21:07] <@Spirit> The vertibuck takes off, towards the massave cloud city of New Cloudsdale
  240. [21:11] * Proverb hugs Spirit as they flew towards the city.
  241. [21:15] * Spirit quivers in the hug.
  242. [21:16] * Proverb nuzzles her gently, murmuring into her ear so only she could hear. "They didn't find my switchblade or bobby pins. We'll be fine."
  243. [21:17] <@Spirit> Upon landing at a Vertibuck station, New Cloudsale seems absolutely massave. Structures reach high enough to nearly block out the sun from where they're standing and without much time to admire. The two of them are ushered out of the Vertibuck and into a holding cell, one of the guards approaches. "Your names."
  244. [21:18] <Proverb> "Auburn Proverb."
  245. [21:19] * Spirit states, "Spirit Wind."
  246. [21:19] <@Spirit> The guard nods, and leaves them in the cell.
  247. [21:20] * Proverb looks to Spirit. "Spirit, I need you to listen very closely, okay?"
  248. [21:20] * Spirit looks to Proverb and nods, quivering
  249. [21:23] <Proverb> "When they run my name, it's going to come up with High Treason, attempted assasination, and 1st degree murder. Do you know what that means?"
  250. [21:24] * Spirit nods, "Death sentence... Same with conspiracy aganst the Enclave."
  251. [21:28] * Proverb nods. "I... e-escaped that once before, as you know. I..." She sniffs. "I d-don't know if I'll b-be able to again though, o-okay?" She says, choking back tears. "J-J-Just, st-tay strong, n-n-no matter wh-what, o-okay?"
  252. [21:31] * Spirit hugs Proverb tightly, "I-I will... we-we just need to get back to the tavern.."
  253. [21:33] * Proverb hugs her back, nodding. "F-For all we kn-know, the closest d-door is y-y-yours..."
  254. [21:34] * Spirit nods, quivering, "J-just running... maybe taking a vertibuck?"
  255. [21:35] <Proverb> "I... c-can f-f-fly one... k-kinda... But..." She sighs. "We'll figure it out, okay?"
  256. [21:36] * Spirit nods, silent
  257. [21:37] * Proverb hugs Spirit, and waits for the guards to return, the wheels in her mind turning.
  258. [21:37] <@Spirit> One of the guards returns with a clipboard, "Cheif Master Sergeant Auburn Proverb. High Treason, first degree murder, and six counts of attempted assassination. I'm going to be the first to ask, how the hell did you survive 200 years without aging a day?"
  259. [21:38] <@Spirit> The guard is a well built black coated stallion with oversized wings. His eyes are a blazing orange and mane matching with streaks of blue.
  260. [21:41] * Proverb breaks the hug, putting on a grin and trotting over to the bars, leaning against them, almost casually. "Magic Staff Sergeant, pure magic, with a little bit of time-fuckery thrown in there for good measure."
  261. [21:44] <Proverb> Spirit would also note the stuble change in Proverb's demeanor.
  262. [21:44] <@Spirit> The guard snorts, "Pegasi haven't a need for weaklings who rely on magic, but these records are over 200 years old, and from the old Enclave, we cannot actually do anything legally aganst you as the crimes were aganst a now long dead group."
  263. [21:46] * Proverb raises an eyebrow. "That it? You just gonna let me go then?"
  264. [21:46] * Spirit blinks at how not-shy Proverb is being.
  265. [21:47] <@Spirit> The guard shakes his head, "Dead wrong, you're still an accomplice to the little courier over there."
  266. [21:48] <Proverb> "Oh, and what did she do? Hmm? And I'm not her accomplice, I'm her marefriend. Big difference bucko."
  267. [21:51] <@Spirit> The guard raises an eyebrow and snorts harder, his facial expression hardening further, "Fillyfoolers too. Disgusting. Private Spirit Wind over there delivered secret plans to the Dashite Terrorist group, we were lucky enough to have caught her on the way, but she slipped out of our grasp. Half of the Enclave military knows she's a traitor."
  268. [21:51] * Spirit shakes her head, looking down and remaining quiet.
  269. [21:53] * Proverb pushes off the bars, trotting over to Spirit and placing a wing around her. "Disgusting, hmm? Hehehe." She tips Spirit's chin up and kisses her. Hard.
  270. [21:53] * Spirit squeaks in the kiss, but returns it automatically.
  271. [21:55] <@Spirit> The guard ruffles his wings, face completely contorted in a pissed off fasion, "I'm going to push a request for separate cells, both of you will lose your wings by tomorrow eve."
  272. [21:55] <@Spirit> He storms off down the hall again.
  273. [21:56] * Proverb breaks the kiss, giggling. "Alright, now, step two."
  274. [21:56] * Spirit blinks, flustered, "Wh-what?"
  275. [21:57] <Proverb> "The first step was getting him to leave. Next step, get our gear, namely your stealth cloak back."
  276. [21:58] * Spirit nods, "I don't exactly know where it is, probably in the armory."
  277. [22:00] * Proverb pulls out several bobby pins and a switchblade from her tail, crouching down and getting to work on the lock.
  278. [22:02] <@Spirit> The lock is tough, but not a terribly hard match for Proverb. The lock clicks without even wasting a single bobby pin.
  279. [22:03] * Proverb pulls the door open, flicking open the switchblade. "Ok, now to find the armory..." She steps out of the cell, looking around.
  280. [22:04] * Spirit timidly follows Proverb.
  281. [22:04] <@Spirit> Each hall seems identical, although one way offers more cells and the other seems to branch off in multiple directions.
  282. [22:06] * Proverb takes the one that branched off, staying low and quiet.
  283. [22:06] * Spirit follows behind, just as sneakily
  284. [22:07] * Proverb stays alert for guards, or other things that could give them away.
  285. [22:07] <@Spirit> The branched path leads winding around, offering pegasi doors, and eventually winds up at a guard station.
  286. [22:10] * Proverb motions for Spirit to halt, and creeps forward slowly.
  287. [22:10] * Spirit stops
  288. [22:11] <@Spirit> The guard station has four guards, two are in a slow motion sparring match, while the other two are playing cards. A hooflocker sits on one end of the room.
  289. [22:19] * Proverb eyes the locker, then the four gaurds. Now, these four she could handle. She readied her switchblade. "Ooooh, buuuucks~" She called out in a sing-songy voice, stepping around the corner. "Please don't try and fight, this'll only take a second." With that she lunges, using her filly-sized body and high agility to her advantage.
  290. [22:20] * Spirit blinks at the rather... psychotic tone to Proverbs voice.
  291. [22:20] * Proverb twists one guard's head around violently, pushing off him and driving her switchblade into the next one's neck, twisting and cutting it jaggedly before lunging at the last two.
  292. [22:21] <@Spirit> The bucks whirl around and shout, the ones playing cards have to get up and aren't prepared, but the ones sparring whirl on her and are immediately cut down.
  293. [22:23] * Proverb jams her switchblade into the third guard's neck as he got up, slamming him into the ground and stomping his head repeatedly before attempting to tackle the last one.
  294. [22:23] <@Spirit> the final guard sommersaults back launching Proverb into the cloud wall, and goes for his comm.
  295. [22:24] * Proverb gruns, hurling her switchblade at the guard, aiming for the face.
  296. [22:27] <Proverb> grunts*]
  297. [22:28] <@Spirit> The guard goes down, knife embedded in comm embedded in face.
  298. [22:30] * Proverb picks herself out of the wall, retrieving her switchblade from the guard's face.
  299. [22:35] * Spirit blinks in amazement as she just saw Proverb kill four ponies swifter than she could drink a glass of milk.
  300. [22:37] * Proverb waves Spirit into the room, before searching the bodies of the guards and checking the locker.
  301. [22:39] * Spirit trots into the room timidly. The guards have basic enclave armor, stuff used when not out on patrol or part of a power armor unit, three comms, an earring, wingblades and a deck of cards. The locker contains their confiscated gear.
  302. [22:43] * Proverb takes a comm, tossing another to Spirit. "Alright, put on a set of this armor." She says, wriggling into a set before grabbing their gear. She hoofs Spirit her cloak, and her own pistol. "And take this. I don't want you going unarmed while we try to escape, okay?"
  303. [22:44] * Spirit takes the cloak and puts it on, and takes the pistol. "I don't like armor, it's hard to move in."
  304. [22:48] * Proverb nods, hoisting her VKS. "Alright, let's move." She moves through the guard station, in the original direction they had been going.
  305. [22:48] * Spirit shiffs up her hood, shimmering out of view.
  306. [22:50] <@Spirit> Their direction leads further into the complex, a main hall with a few signs listing more office locations, and a couple to the barracks.
  307. [22:51] * Proverb pulls the bolt back, chambering a round. She had two extra mags and one loaded, a total of 15 rounds in all. She'd have to make them all count. She trots casually, as if a normal soldier on patrol, heading down the main hallway.
  308. [22:55] <@Spirit> Two or three guards pass by, just mistaking her as a normal guard, although a fourth who passed gave her an odd look, perhaps suspisious, or perhaps just oogling.
  309. [22:58] * Proverb might have wiggled her flanks a bit at him, continuing down the hall. She was looking for the hangar.
  310. [23:01] <@Spirit> Dat stallion oogled. Either way, the hangar is located past the barracks.
  311. [23:02] <@Spirit> And the barracks is FULL of guards, in bed, awake, or doing something else of varing degrees.
  312. [23:05] * Proverb frowns. The guards were mostly occupied or asleep it seemed... She picked out the route with the most distracted or sleeping guards, and set off, ready to bolt the moment her cover was blown.
  313. [23:06] <@Spirit> Stealthily, you manage to make it out of the barracks, and onto the hangar platform, however, all of the vertibucks seem to be gone or in maintence bays.
  314. [23:08] * Proverb frowns intently. "We seem to have encountered a slight setback..." she muttered, gazing around the hangar.
  315. [23:12] <@Spirit> Pegasi are flying from the opening, some are returning while mechanics are hard at work fixing the broken vertibucks. A nudge taps your side, but nopony comes into view.
  316. [23:13] * Proverb leans down. "What is it Spirit?" She mutters.
  317. [23:17] * Spirit whispers back, "What now?"
  318. [23:21] <Proverb> "I... don't know. We'll have to figure something out..." She says, looking back around the hangar. "Something..."
  319. [23:23] <@Spirit> The control booth is occupied near the back of the hanger, although the launch pad is empty, the main hangar is filling further with pegasi
  320. [23:26] * Proverb frowns as more pegasi enter. Something was going on... She looked up to the control booth, and then back to the crowd.
  321. [23:28] <@Spirit> A gathering seems to be taking place, for what, you can't be sure.
  322. [23:30] * Spirit ([email protected]) Quit ( Quit: )
  323. [23:34] * Spirit ([email protected]) has joined #Afterall
  324. [23:37] * Proverb is intent on finding out what it's for. She doesn't move any closer, but stays where she can see the goings on.
  325. [23:38] * Spirit nudges Proverb again, whispering, "This'd be a good time to just take wing... they're distracted."
  326. [23:41] * Proverb nods. "Yeah... but I want to know what they're up to... It could be something important..."
  327. [23:43] * Spirit shakes her head, which isn't seen. "It's not important to us, we should go."
  328. [23:45] * Proverb nods. "If you say so, besides, I still want to tie you up and give you my own punishment~." She grins.
  329. [23:45] * Spirit meeps, and is glad her cloak is up.
  330. [23:46] * Proverb giggles, maybe a bit too loudly as she clamped a hoof over her mouth.
  331. [23:47] <Spirit> A few nearby pegasi look at you like you're crazy, but one of them, a stallion approaches. "Hey, you, haven't seen you around here before."
  332. [23:48] * Proverb freezes, snapping to attention and saluting. "New recruit sir."
  333. [23:50] <Spirit> The stallion's rank is private, and he smirks, "At ease."
  334. [23:53] * Proverb acts fast, twirling and bucking the stallion in the neck. "SPIRIT! MOVE!" She shouted, unslinging her VKS before sprinting towards the hangar opening.
  335. [23:55] <Spirit> The stallion coughs and shouts, "Intruder!" Multiple pegasi whirl and notice you dashing for the hangar opening. None of them expected a runner, but enough still had weapons to draw and fire a few token shots.
  336. [23:59] * Proverb ducks and weaves, occassionally stopping and planting, firing off a shot before moving again. "Spirit, stay ahead of m-AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!"
  337. [00:00] * Spirit 's tail is barely clipping out of range of the stealth cloak, weaving around and bolting downward.
  338. [00:02] <Spirit> The shots fly, and multiple of Proverb's shots hit home, downing a few pegasi. However a shot does nick Proverb's foreleg.
  339. [00:08] * Proverb stumbles and falls. "Keep moving!" She yells to Spirit as she struggled back up to her hooves. She fired her VKS again and racks the bolt, only to have it lock open. Empty, and no spare clips left.
  340. [00:09] <Spirit> Several well dressed Pegasi, a shadowbolt unit, start closing the gap to Proverb, firing more shots.
  341. [00:10] <Proverb> "Spirit! My pistol! Now!" She limp-gallops after the other mare.
  342. [00:11] * Spirit drops the pistol to Proverb in the midst of dropping through the cloud floor. One of the shadowbolts breaks off to go chase her.
  343. [00:13] * Proverb grabs the gun, and dives after the Shadowbolt with a scream. "NOT MY MAREFRIEND YOU BITCH!"
  344. [00:15] <Spirit> The other two shadowbolts plunge after Proverb, while the first turns around to take a few shots at Proverb, clipping a wing, but loses sight of Spirit in the process.
  345. [00:17] * Proverb crashes into them, the richeous fury of hell accompanying her as she jams the barrel of her gun into the Shadowbolt's face and pulls the trigger, twice.
  346. [00:19] <Spirit> The shadowbolt goes down in a bloody heap, but her friends behind you crash directly into you! One grapples down on your wings, and the other tries to assist in maintaining flight.
  347. [00:21] * Proverb thrashes as she tries to twist around and shoot both of the Shadowbolts.
  348. [00:22] <Spirit> One shot manages to clip a Shadowbolt's leg, pulling them out. However, the one on your wings manages to keep a grip.
  349. [00:24] <Spirit> The shadowbolt grunts, "Stand down!"
  350. [00:25] * Proverb thrashes become weaker as she tires. She had been shot multiple times too. "F-Fuck, you."
  351. [00:26] <Spirit> He keeps his hold, "This is peace time, we don't want to have to kill you. Stand down!"
  352. [00:27] * Spirit looks up, her face visible to Proverb, worried.
  353. [00:29] * Proverb smiles to Spirit. Oh hey, where was that blood coming from? Her thrashes stop all together as she nearly passes out from blood loss, her pistol tumbling down towards Spirit.
  354. [00:35] <Spirit> The shadowbolt starts hauling Proverb back up to the cloud. Spirit manages to catch the gun, she tears up and bolts back down to the surface, her cloak hiding her presence as she searches like a madmare for something that shouldn't even exist.
  355. -------PART 3-------
  356. [16:14] <Spirit> The world opens to a village on the coast. The sky is open and the sun shines down, but off to the west lies a large ominous cloud covering a good expanse of the sky. Unlike the normal wasteland, this place seems at peace and green.
  357. [16:15] * Rough_Waters trots out looking around "So where... are we?" she asks
  358. [16:16] * Spirit looks up at the large cloud, "We're in Port Equestria, and that." She points to the cloud, "Is New Cloudsdale."
  359. [16:18] <Antidote> The three pegasus in light grey and striped power armor look around at the others. "Who's in charge?" one asks metalically.
  360. [16:18] <Rough_Waters> "Port Equestria...?" she asks, looking up to the cloud
  361. [16:19] * Spirit shakes her head, "I. I dunno, but once we free Proverb, she'll be in charge." She looks at Rough, "Port Equestria, the port to Zebrica."
  362. [16:20] * Rough_Waters finally nods "Well... l-lets get Provy back then"
  363. [16:21] <Antidote> The pegasus look between each other before nodding. "As yah' wish."
  364. [16:23] * Spirit sighs, "Okay, we could just fly up there, but they have guard patrols on the lookout for Dashites, we know them as Terrorists now. We might be able to get one of the vertibuck drivers here to give us a lift, but I don't know how easy that would be."
  365. [16:24] <Antidote> "Well we're in their armor are we not?" One of the pegasus asks, this one sounds like a stallion. "Us three can blend in no problem, we're all ex'ers."
  366. [16:25] <Rough_Waters> "But what about me and Spirit? And does their armor look the same as yours?" she says, referring to the arctic patern
  367. [16:25] * Spirit shakes her head, "Power armor's fallen to a lower use, you'd have to blend as a specialist unit."
  368. [16:26] <Antidote> They nod. "Well whatcha' know, what are the specific specialty units?"
  369. [16:27] * Spirit sighs, "Not much, I was just a courier for them, I don't know anything except that they exist."
  370. [16:27] * Rough_Waters shrugs "Could bring us and say were prisoners?"
  371. [16:28] <Antidote> The third pegasus nods. "Thah' might work, get us into holding too. Plus we all still have out tags n' cards."
  372. [16:28] * Spirit thinks, "Maybe that'd work. But I can't pick a lock, can any of you?"
  373. [16:28] <Rough_Waters> "I can break one..."
  374. [16:29] <Antidote> All three pegasus raise a hoof. "Yea. Er' blow em' down!" one of them says squeeing under the armor. Sounds like a mare, and her choice of weaponry is rather... explosive.
  375. [16:29] * Rough_Waters giggles at the excited mare
  376. [16:30] * Spirit blinks, "Wait, but why would they bring a unicorn to New Cloudsdale for holding..." She looks at the three, "Um. I'd rather avoid being called Terrorists as much as we can, can we keep the explosions to a minimum?"
  377. [16:31] <Rough_Waters> "I dont need to blow it up" she shrugs
  378. [16:31] <Antidote> The explosives pegasus mare nods. "Yup! But then again we also have our plain uniforms if that works better!"
  379. [16:33] * Spirit nods, "They might. I'm not sure how different the uniforms are in 200 or so years."
  380. [16:34] <Rough_Waters> "I think the cooler looking armor would make being specialist more believable?"
  381. [16:35] <Antidote> One of the pegasus drops a dufflebag to the ground and opens it, inside are three pristene grey Enclave uniforms, one is a for that of a captain too. Although there is also extra ammo and other supplies as well.
  382. [16:36] * Spirit nods at Rough and looks at the uniforms, then shakes her head, "They're not the same, the ranking's in the same spot, but the design's slightly different. I think a specialist unit might be best."
  383. [16:37] <Antidote> The pegasus nod. "Right, give us a tick then, we gotta' do a changeup." one of them asks.
  384. [16:38] <Rough_Waters> "So if or, when theyre asked, why are we being imprisoned?"
  385. [16:39] <Antidote> "Oh thah's easy enough, the pegasus is a traitor n' you were helping her. The normal bullshit fer' the Enclave." one of them says as all three strip out of their armor.
  386. [16:39] * Rough_Waters shrugs "Fair enough"
  387. [16:40] * Spirit nods, adjusting her cloak, "I'm already wanted, so it's not technically a lie."
  388. [16:41] <Rough_Waters> "Oh! By the way, Im Rough Waters!" she says to the whole group
  389. [16:42] * Spirit smiles, "Nice to meet you, I just wish it was in a better circumstance, I'm Spirit Wind."
  390. [16:44] <Antidote> "Staff Sergeant Crosswind." one pegasus mare says as she strips out of her armor and starts pasting Enclave insignias to her armor. A pegasus stallion speaks next, "Sergeant Hurricane." And then the last pegasus, a fiery red mare, like literally, red eyes, blazing crimson mane, and nearly orange coat, "Sergeant Blazing Stormfront!" she grunts.
  391. [16:44] * Rough_Waters smiles and then asks the inevitable "Anypony want a hug?"
  392. [16:46] * Spirit blinks, "Maybe later? I want to hurry, they're probably interrogating Provy right now."
  393. [16:46] <Antidote> All three pegasus tenatively raise a hoof, except for Blazing, she hops up and down. "Me! mememe!"
  394. [16:47] * Rough_Waters hugs Crosswing, then Hurricane, then giggling, she hops/hugs Blazing. Yay hugs! "Theres always time for hugs!"
  395. [16:47] * Spirit sighs, "I'm just worried. Are we ready?"
  396. [16:47] <Antidote> All three recieve hugs and return to fitting their armor. One looks to Spirit. "What do the specialist units use for weapons?"
  397. [16:48] * Rough_Waters giggles, shes pretty excited "Im ready!"
  398. [16:49] * Spirit nods, "Magical energy weapons, plus whatever else they want."
  399. [16:50] <Antidote> The three nod and finish with slapping on their rank pins, and other assorted Enclave 'rara' and put their armor back on, MEW weapony attached, except for Blazing, grenade machine gun and a gatling MEW.
  400. [16:52] * Spirit looks up at New Cloudsdale again, "Let's go then. Oh! Rough. They might take away your armor when we're put in cells."
  401. [16:53] * Rough_Waters nods "W-well... so long as we get it back... better try to keep their doctors away from me if they do..."
  402. [16:54] <Antidote> The pegasus mare identified as Crosswind looks to Spirit and Rough_Waters, "Just fer' notification, I'm technically a captain so play along n' stuff... I'm going to be putting on the normal 'yes stallion' and rah rah rah that the Enclave spouts."
  403. [16:54] * Rough_Waters nodnods to Crosswind "Mkay!"
  404. [16:54] * Spirit blinks, "Okay, I'll try." She looks at Crosswind, "Okay, I trust you. Let's go."
  405. [16:57] <Antidote> Crosswind nods before considering. "Alright so question, how we gettin' there, can I call in a PTU?"
  406. [16:58] * Spirit thinks, "Be careful, but that might be better than just flying."
  407. [16:59] <Antidote> Crosswind nods. "Well yah', have a unicorn here... and yer' both prisoners... speakin' of which..." she tosses both Spirit and Rough_Waters hoofcuffs. "Shackle up fillies."
  408. [16:59] * Rough_Waters blinks , but sits on her rump and puts on the cuffs
  409. [17:00] * Spirit squeaks a bit, but fanagles the hoofcuffs on.
  410. [17:01] <Antidote> Crosswind nods to the other two pegasus. "Ok, get yer' happy faces on. This should be a shitton of fun." she turns back to Spirit. "Do you have our exact location?"
  411. [17:03] * Spirit thinks, "Well, we're in Port Equestria, outside the Stars and Stripes Tavern's back door."
  412. [17:05] <Antidote> Crosswind nods before chuckling. "Ok, here goes everythin'!" she starts checking all of her previously tabbed military channels. "Overlord, overlord, this is Foxtrot actual, do you copy, I repeat, foxtrot actual."
  413. [17:08] <Spirit> Several channels are flicked through, and a response is given by an angry farmer, but finally clicks to an Enclave channel, "Copy, Foxtrot actual, this is Overlord, what's your status?"
  414. [17:09] * Rough_Waters continues just sitting around, playing with the cuffs a bit, maybe thinking about them
  415. [17:09] <Antidote> Crosswind smirks but maintains an authoritarian demeanor. "Foxtrot actual acknowledges, we are gold. However we are currently in need of an immediate evac. Priority one."
  416. [17:11] <Spirit> A pause before a response, "Priority one... Foxtrot actual, state your situation."
  417. [17:13] <Antidote> "Terrorist apprehended in Port Equestria, same with a unicorn, probable some sort of contact. Holding position until relieved, over." Crosswind states.
  418. [17:14] <Spirit> Another pause, "PTU is on it's way, maintain position, if locals question, refer to the treaty."
  419. [17:15] * Rough_Waters cocks her head and looks to Spirit, quietly asking "Treaty?"
  420. [17:16] * Spirit speaks back, "It's the Enclave treaty with the Provinces, basically allowing the apprehention of marked suspects and accomplices. It prevents all out war aganst the surface from happening again."
  421. [17:16] <Antidote> "Acknowledged Overlord, over and out." she chuckles after she shuts it off. "And kiss my flank because you just fell for it." she makes a gagging motion. "Leaves a bad tast in my mouth."
  422. [17:17] * Rough_Waters nods to Spirit but smiles to Cross "But its getting us in"
  423. [17:18] * Spirit nods in agreement
  424. [17:20] <Spirit> A vertibuck pulls down towards the edge of town, and a sound comes through the comm, "Foxtrot actual? Edgewing transport's here."
  425. [17:22] <Antidote> Crosswind responds on comms. "Foxtrot acknowledges, we are oscar mike." she turns to the others, "Alright, on yer' hooves! It's acting time!" The other two in armor move to flank Rough_Waters and Spirit.
  426. [17:23] * Rough_Waters nods and stands up, going to move with the others, her face isnt visible, but shes putting on a fake angry face
  427. [17:24] * Spirit stands and nods, "good luck..." She puts on a scared expression.
  428. [17:26] <Antidote> Crosswind starts out towards the circling vertibuck, helmet on now, same with the other two.
  429. [17:27] <Spirit> The vertibuck outside has its hatch open, and a lightly armored pegasi leans aganst the edge. She has the cocky smirk of an overconfident teenager, "Hey. A traitor and an accomplice, nice catch."
  430. [17:29] <Antidote> Crosswind snorts, "yah' make it sound like a fun job newbie, plus yah' see this?" she points to her rank.
  431. [17:30] <Spirit> The pegasi nods, "Yeah, doesn't mean much when I'm flyin' this thing."
  432. [17:31] <Antidote> Crosswind shrugs. "Get us airborn, I'm tired of allah' the dirt n' such." The two other pegasus in armor 'forcibly' put Spirit and Rough_Waters aboard.
  433. [17:32] * Rough_Waters makes a fake growling sound as shes forced in
  434. [17:33] <Spirit> The pegasi shrugs and heads up to fly the thing, engines not even cold as it takes off. Heading for New Cloudsdale
  435. [17:35] <Antidote> Crosswind takes off her helmet can trots into the cockpit hatchway. "Any news on thah' last terrorist apprehended?"
  436. [17:37] <Spirit> The pegasus shrugs, "All I know is they captured two, they escaped and one of them got away. Don't tell me anything, 'just a private' even if I'm the best vertibuck pilot they've had in years."
  437. [17:38] <Antidote> Crosswind nods lightly. "Yah'. I've been riding captain fer' friggin' years. N' I'm the best officer they got." she jokes.
  438. [17:40] <Spirit> The pegasus snorts, "Who're you again?"
  439. [17:42] <Antidote> "Captain Breezy Crosswind, specialist detachment. You?" she says easily making it sound natural and well rehearsed.
  440. [17:44] <Spirit> She replies, "Private Steelwing the fourth. Vertibuck Special Division."
  441. [17:45] <Antidote> Crosswind nods. "Yah' make it sound bad."
  442. [17:46] <Spirit> Steelwing shrugs, "I do what my talent tells me, day in and day out. AND I get paid for it, so it's not all bad. The higher ups suck though, no offense."
  443. [17:48] <Antidote> Crosswind chuckles. "Yea... things don't change much..." she says quietly, scanning the horizon for for the 'New Cloudsdale'.
  444. [17:49] <Spirit> New Cloudsdale is the giant cloud directly in front of the Vertibuck, which just happens to be landing on a platform at this very moment. Steelwing open the back hatch, "There ya go. Now get off, more stuff to do today."
  445. [17:51] <Antidote> Crosswind, Stormfront, and Hurricane drag Spirit and Rough_Waters off the vert, Crosswind slapping the side of it. "Have fun wif' the endless work n' brainwashing!" she says loudly but not loud enough to overtake the vert's engines.
  446. [17:52] <Spirit> Steelwing waves back, closing the hatch as soon as they get off. The platform as a lot of pegasi meandering about, performing vertibuck maintenence, taking off for elsewhere or running the control tower in the back.
  447. [17:53] * Rough_Waters freezes the area under her, though is mildly concerned shell fall
  448. [17:53] <Antidote> Crosswind trots back over to the group. "Alrighty... gettin' closer now... just keep it up." she looks around for a receiving unit.
  449. [17:55] <Spirit> Indeed a recieving unit approaches, Three pegasi approach with battle saddles over their uniform, the center pegasi steps forward, "These the prisoners?"
  450. [17:56] <Antidote> Crosswind deadpans. "No, we are."
  451. [17:58] * Rough_Waters prevents herself from snickering as she gets to her hooves
  452. [17:58] <Spirit> The pegasi stallion snorts, "Careful or I'll haul you in too." He turns and starts trotting, the other two also turn, although not with a good look at the prisoners first.
  453. [18:00] <Antidote> Crosswind coughs. "Couu-asshole-cough." she nods to the other two pegasus and they start foward, pushing Rough_Waters and Spirit forward.
  454. [18:00] * Spirit follows timidly, keeping aware.
  455. [18:01] * Rough_Waters looks around idly, but her eyes constantly go to her hooves as she steps carefully
  456. [18:02] <Spirit> The five are led to the cell block, Proverb is nowhere to be seen. One of the guards opens a cell. "Here. Did you get their names? We'll have our jailer run records. Keep two of your unit to guard the prisoners, we had a breakout recently and we're not taking another chance."
  457. [18:04] <Antidote> Crosswind nods. "Do you have a description of the prisoner who escaped?"
  458. [18:06] <Spirit> One of them nods, "In the records office. We'll bring them after we run names. Do you have them?"
  459. [18:08] <Antidote> "We have a 'Spectre', that's the pegasus there. And a 'Rough_Waters', that's the unicorn."
  460. [18:08] <Spirit> The pegasi nods, "All right, lock em up and we'll go run em."
  461. [18:09] <Antidote> Crosswind nods in return. "And the ID for the escaped prisoner?"
  462. [18:12] <Spirit> A pegasi rolls her eyes, "Again, in the record office, the jailer'll bring it."
  463. [18:55] <Antidote> Crosswind nods. "Time is burnin'."
  464. [18:58] <Spirit> The guards head out down the hall. The place is empty aside from a few pegasi in other cells, they all look like actual criminals, and nearly all of them have a Dashite brand.
  465. [18:59] <Antidote> Crimson looks to Spirit and Rough_Waters and chuckles. "Shit run ah' luck you two have, but ah' gotta' go look for that other birdie now." she says hoping they get it.
  466. [18:59] * Spirit nods, "Make sure Provy's okay."
  467. [19:00] * Rough_Waters looks around at the others around the cell before just nodding to Crimson
  468. [19:00] <Antidote> *Crosswind
  469. [19:03] <Antidote> Crosswind turns and looks for the jailer, she was curious just who had escaped. She didn't see Proverb anywhere.
  470. [19:05] <Spirit> Although it was never explained, Spirit who was the one who escapted to go get help for Proverb. The jailer isn't seen yet.
  471. [19:05] <Antidote> Crosswind, Stormfront and Hurricane look around a bit.
  472. [19:06] * Antidote is now known as Reverie
  473. [19:06] * Rough_Waters sits down and plays with the cloud a bit, letting a hoof pass through it as she pulls water from it to make a small water tendril, grinning
  474. [19:07] * Reverie is now known as Crosswind
  475. [19:08] <Spirit> The area is more of a hallway of cells, with one of the paths leading further into the base.
  476. [19:09] <Crosswind> Crosswind turns to her squad. "Ok where tah' hell is the jailer?"
  477. [19:16] <Crosswind> Crosswind turns back to all the prisoners. "Any of you know where they do interrogations?"
  478. ------- PART 4 -------
  479. [15:08] <@Spirit> From where we last left off, Proverb has still been captured and is currently being tortured for information. The rescuers are currently... incarcerated, aside from the three pegasi heroes who're currently overseeing them.
  480. [15:09] <Antidote> Crosswind waits around for a short, while, tapping an armor clad hoof and wondering what the hell the jailer is doing to take so long.
  481. [15:10] * Rough_Waters is simply sitting in the cell with Spirit and Nguvu, lookin around
  482. [15:10] * Nguvu is pacing impatiently, occasionally turning to glower at the cell door.
  483. [15:12] <Antidote> Crosswind finally shakes her head and walks down the line of cells, looking between the inmates. "Any ah' you know where the interrogations be held?"
  484. [15:14] <@Spirit> The jailer finally trots down the hall, holding onto a clipboard. He is a dark black pegasus with oversized wings and a stern expression. Most of the inmates are hard boiled criminals.
  485. [15:15] <Antidote> Crosswind turns to face the jailer. "Bout time, I'm on the clock." The other two armored pegasus join her. "Whatcha' got for info?"
  486. [15:15] * Rough_Waters decides that waving to the criminals may not be the greatest plan
  487. [15:18] * Nguvu pauses in his pacing to glare at the jailer. He decides antagonizing the pegasus is a bad idea and resumes his plodding steps around the cell.
  488. [15:20] * Rough_Waters looks to Nguvu, softly saying "Dont worry. Itll be alright"
  489. [15:26] <@Spirit> The jailer nods and hoofs him the clipboard, "No info on any of them. At least not yet. An interrogation session is set up for each of them after the current one is over. As far as the current interrogation information you were requesting, we have an Auburn Proverb; a terrorist on an account of first degree murder, six counts of attempted assassination, and high treason aganst the Enclave.
  490. [15:26] <@Spirit> I still question how the fillyfooler managed to evade the Enclave for 200 years, but they'll know soon enough."
  491. [15:27] <Antidote> Crosswind nods lightly. "Uh huh... so which way to the interrogation chambers?"
  492. [15:28] * Rough_Waters blinks. Damn, go Provy
  493. [15:28] * Nguvu walks over to Rough_Waters and sits down with a fwomp beside her, "At least she has given them much trouble."
  494. [15:28] <@Spirit> The jailer nods down the hall, "End of the hall on the left, you'll hear the screams as you go." He chuckles, "Bitch still gets to suffer, her kind are a disgrace."
  495. [15:29] * Rough_Waters nods to Nguvu "Would you like a hug?"
  496. [15:29] <Antidote> Crosswind snickers. "Thanks bitch." before rearing back and headbutting the jailer with her armored helm.
  497. [15:29] * Nguvu looks up when the jailer mentions screaming. He says, very slowly and quietly to Rough_Waters, "No. I would like to rip that pegasus's throat out."
  498. [15:30] * Rough_Waters nods "Ok. Later?" as he says Provy is suffering, she becomes very very glad she has her armor
  499. [15:31] <@Spirit> "Agh!" The jailer falls back not even managing to right himself with his wings, although he does rip some of the clouds from the walls.
  500. [15:32] * Nguvu gets up and walks over to the cell door. He waits...
  501. [15:35] <Antidote> Crosswind shakes her head and searches the jailer for a set of keys, before trotting over to the group in the cell, whilst the other two armored pegasus drag the jailer away, assumedly knocked out. "Bastard got on mah' bad side. And here's the key."
  502. [15:36] * Rough_Waters hops up and over to the door, very eager to be let out and makes some bad ponies suffer
  503. [15:37] * Nguvu watches the jailer being dragged away. His muscles are tense and he turns to look towards the end of the hallway.
  504. [15:37] <@Spirit> Jailer Keys Acquired! These keys open most doors in the prisoner wing of New Cloudsdale...
  505. [15:37] <Antidote> Crosswind pauses. "Before ah' let ya'll out. You will swear tah' not let your emotions get ahead of yer' actions. Or I'll just leave ya'll here for now."
  506. [15:38] * Rough_Waters nodnods! "I can keep myself under control!" Shes smiling, even though it cant be seen
  507. [15:38] * Spirit nods as well, shiffing her stealth cloak's hood up.
  508. [15:39] * Nguvu stares impassively at Crosswind, "I can control emotions..." he doesn't mention if he /wants/ to control his emotions.
  509. [15:39] <Antidote> Crosswind looks to Nguvu. "You WILL control yer' emotions." she says unlocking the door.
  510. [15:40] * Nguvu tries to shove his way into the hallway as soon as the door is open, "I am not so sure I agree."
  511. [15:41] <@Spirit> The poor jailer can be assumed to be locked in a closet somewhere uncontious. He's going to miss his favorite TV show, my little pegasi.
  512. [15:41] * Rough_Waters hops out of the cell with a little smile
  513. [15:41] * Spirit follows invisibly
  514. [15:42] <Antidote> Crosswind blocks Nguvu's path, and the other two pegasus are back. "Don't matter, we ain't here to massacre em'. Make sure yah' got that hothead." she says before turning and heading down the hall towards the interrogation rooms. "Ya'll should stay outside initially, alright?" she says to Spirit, Nguvu, and Rough_Waters.
  515. [15:42] * Nguvu frowns at Crosswind, "Do not be in my way..." he tries to move around her and head down the hall.
  516. [15:43] * Rough_Waters nodnods
  517. [15:44] <Proverb> Making their way towards the interrogation room, the whole group could hear Proverb screaming as they approached.
  518. [15:44] <Antidote> Crosswind shakes her head. "Hotshot, I'll leave yer' ass here to rot with the goodyfucks back there. You go in first though, yah' ain't got a fuckin' weapon and you're a zebra, it'll go great."
  519. [15:44] <@Spirit> The torture techniques applied tend to ravage wings due to their sensitivity.
  520. [15:45] * Rough_Waters snarls a bit as she hears Proverb screaming, but keeps herself from going murder-mode
  521. [15:45] <Antidote> Crosswind says that to Nguvu.
  522. [15:45] * Nguvu frowns at Crosswind, "Give me gun, I will kill every pony in room who is not Proverb. If no gun, I will try with bare hooves." He trots to the door and waits for it to be unlocked.
  523. [15:47] <Antidote> Crosswind shakes her head. "Then we ain't going in."
  524. [15:50] * Nguvu glowers at Crosswind, "You will go in. Now. Before they are hurting her more."
  525. [15:51] <Antidote> Crosswind frowns under her mask. "Yea, I will, n' if you try to be big bad stallion an' get Provy killed 'cause you're a hotshot, I'll leave you in this hell." She motions to the other two pegasus in armor and they stack up on the door.
  526. [15:51] * Proverb screams again, the noise arcing up and out of pitch.
  527. [15:51] * Nguvu continues to glower at Crosswind, "You do your job. I will do mine. Go."
  528. [15:52] <Antidote> "Allah' you stack up behind us." Crosswind states to Nguvu, Spirit, and Rough_Waters.
  529. [15:53] * Nguvu stacks up.
  530. [15:53] <Antidote> Crosswind also gets the key in the door, assuming it fits.
  531. [15:53] * Rough_Waters stacks, ready
  532. [15:53] * Spirit can't be seen, but is doing something.
  533. [15:54] <Antidote> Crosswind counts. "Three, two, one, breach." she pushes the door open, and the pegasus behind her tosses what looks like some sort of grenade into the room, perception says it's a Flashbang. ( :3 )
  534. [15:58] <Proverb> The room beyond is a simple, small, interrogation cell. Proverb is tied to a chair, an interrogator bent over her holding what looks like a scalpel in one hoof, her wing in the other. There's two other heavily armored pegasi toting MEWs standing guard -c-
  535. [16:04] * Proverb herself is... well... those screams probably were an understatement. Her pimary feathers had been split on both of her wings, several sensitive feathers having been yanked out of each. Her left wing was bent at an odd angle, broken. Her hind hooves had deep gashes in them, and her eyepatch was on the floor somewhere, and she was bleeding from the hole where her eye used to be. The rest of her body was bruised, battered, and bloodied heavily. -c-
  536. [16:04] <Proverb> ...The rest of her body was bruised,battered, and bloodied heavily. -c-
  537. [16:06] <Proverb> The interrogator, stunned in place by the flashbang, was in the process of running the scalpel over the leading edge of Provy's right wing, cutting it down to the bone in some places.
  538. [16:08] <Antidote> Crosswind and the other two pegasus in power armor rush in, each pegasus attempting to secure one of the interrogators.
  539. [16:08] <@Spirit> One of the guards manages to avoid getting stunned, while the other staggers. The unstunned guard whirls on the door, bringing her Magical energy rifle to bear, firing a few shots blindly.
  540. [16:09] * Rough_Waters lets out a tendril of water, sending it straight for the faceplate of the unstunned guard in an attempt to break it inwards
  541. [16:10] * Nguvu unfurled like an avalanche of rage and makes a beeling for the interrogator with the scalpel. He takes a grazing shot from a MEW along his back, but the damage isn't enough for him to notice in his state. He leaps at the interrogator with a roar and swings a hoof at the pegasus's left temple.
  542. [16:12] <@Spirit> The unstunned guard yelps as the water pounds through her faceplate, sending shards of glass through into her eyes, she fires a few more shots wildly before dropping. Meanwhile, the interrogator is launched from his position and partially into the cloud wall, leaving his scalpel embedded in Proverb's wing.
  543. [16:13] <Antidote> Crosswind and the other dives on the downed mare with the broken faceplate, securing her. The other two pegasus, tackle the shit out of the remaining guard.
  544. [16:14] <Rough_Waters> With a snarl from Rough, the tendril breaks into two, ready to go straight for her eyes, but then Cross tackles her. Rough retracts the tendrils, panting slightly
  545. [16:14] * Nguvu charges again, running up to the interrogator and slamming his hoof into the pony's skull as hard as he can.
  546. [16:14] * Spirit works on removing Proverb's bonds while the battle occurs.
  547. [16:15] <Antidote> Crosswind growls at Nguvu. "Cut that SHIT OUT! I want that pegasus alive! You can kill him later!"
  548. [16:16] <@Spirit> The interrogator is PROPELLED through the cloud wall and stuck a good several feet into a hole of solid cloud. The stunned interrogator makes no attempts at resisting due to disorientation, and the blinded, bleeding pegasus wails loudly.
  549. [16:17] <Rough_Waters> "Can I kill th-that one when we have what we need?"
  550. [16:17] * Proverb is slumped in the chair, wings hanging limply from her sides, the scalpel sticking out of her right one, embedded into the bone. She's breathing weakly, mumbling something.
  551. [16:18] * Nguvu makes no sign that he heard Crosswind. It's unclear whether he's even aware that other ponies are around. He reaches into the hole in the wall and tries to yank the interrogator back out. He isn't done yet.
  552. [16:18] <Antidote> Crosswind shakes her head. "You all are fuckin' hopeless." she says before lookign down at the wailing mare with shattered faceplate. "Miss, hold still, dun' try and dig the peices out, it'll only make it worse.
  553. [16:18] <Antidote> "
  554. [16:18] <Rough_Waters> "I said I can wait" she says, sitting down
  555. [16:20] <@Spirit> The interrogator is ripped back out through the cloud hole, screaming for help, but in the interrogation room, it goes unnoticed. The blinded mare is restrained, bleeding from her eyes.
  556. [16:21] <Antidote> Crosswind moves looks up at Spirit. "What's Proverb's status?" she says before motioning to one of the other pegasus to guard the hallway, likely Hurricane.
  557. [16:21] * Nguvu clamps his teeth on the interrogator's wing, then wraps his forehooves around it. He stomps onto the interrogator's sides, placing his hind hooves on either side of the wing. Then he begins to yank as hard as he can with his entire body. Possible or not, he appears to be trying his damndest to rip the interrogator's wing clean off.
  558. [16:23] * Spirit is invisible, but supporting Proverb, "Not good. Broken wing, lots of cuts and bruises, missing feathers and split primaries... not to mention that scalpel..."
  559. [16:23] <Antidote> Crosswind gets up and trots over to Nguvu, grabbing him forcefully and attempting to throw him across the room while he was preoccupied.
  560. [16:23] * Rough_Waters frowns and trots over to Proverb "Is there something I can do to help?" she asks a bit worried
  561. [16:23] * Nguvu doesn't resist the throw, but is still gripping the interrogator and the pegasus will be thrown along with.
  562. [16:24] <@Spirit> The interrogator HOWLS, his wing immediately dislocating and begins to tear when Nguvu pulls and Crosswing tosses the two accross the room. The force of impact severs the interrogator's wing from his body.
  563. [16:24] * Proverb isn't able to support herself at all, slumped against the invivsible Spirit.
  564. [16:24] <Antidote> Crosswind follows the throw and puts a gun to Nguvu's head, "Let em' go, or I'll dust you."
  565. [16:26] * Proverb is probably getting blood all over Spirit's cloak as well.
  566. [16:26] * Nguvu stands up with the interrogator's wing still clamped between his teeth. He snarls at Crosswind and, with as much force as he can muster, slams the severed wing down on top of the interrogator and turns to walk away.
  567. [16:27] <@Spirit> The interrogator keeps screaming in pain, wrapping his forehooves around his severed wing.
  568. [16:27] * Spirit is now a floating blob of blood in a general pony shape.
  569. [16:28] <Antidote> Also, the other pegasus, likely Stormfront, moves over to check on the downed pegasus who was blind from the glass. "Heya, take yer' helmet off, Imma' try to help you." Crosswind watches in horror under her mask. "Nguvu... the fuck is... GRAH!" she leans down and attempts to help the interrogator. Hurricane meanwhile offers a healing potion to Spirit. "Give this to her, it will stop the blood for now."
  570. [16:29] * Spirit asks, "What about the broken wing? Don't healing potions interfere with that?"
  571. [16:30] * Proverb has several, several broken ribs and internal wounds. Healing potions wouldn't be a good idea right now.
  572. [16:30] * Nguvu moves towards Proverb. His rage slips away and he frowns as he tries to find some spot on Proverb that isn't too injured to nuzzle tenderly.
  573. [16:30] <Antidote> Hurrican shakes his head. "It might heal wrong, but it can be broken and fixed correctly, you either give her the potion and stop the bleeding, or she dies."
  574. [16:31] * Proverb is completely unresponsive at the moment as well.
  575. [16:31] * Rough_Waters frowns, watching on
  576. [16:31] <@Spirit> The interrogator tries to bat Stormfront away, in a state of shock. While the bleeding pegasus shakily removes the straps on her helm pulling it off forwardly.
  577. [16:32] * Spirit sighs, and holds the healing potion to Proverb's lips, trying to tilt her head up and force her to drink it.
  578. [16:32] * Proverb gurgles.
  579. [16:33] <Antidote> Stormfront smiles. "Good, just gunna' wrap you up till help arrives alright? I'm just gonna' place some regular, non-healing bandages on to stabilize them alright sweety?" Hurricane trots over and tilts Proverb's head back, clearing the airway for the potion. Silly ponies don't know first aid!
  580. [16:33] * Nguvu helps to hold Proverb's head in place, "Drink, Proverb. Is healing potion."
  581. [16:34] <Antidote> Crosswind attempts to help the interrogator despite the atrocity he committed.
  582. [16:34] <@Spirit> The blind pegasus doesn't respond, and just quivers. The interrogator goes silent and starts quivering in place.
  583. [16:36] * Proverb accepts the potion, drinking it down weakly, and screamed as broken ribs and her wing began to heal in positions they weren't supposed to be in.
  584. [16:36] <Antidote> Stormfront inspects the shards one last time, they didn't seem deep and could be repaired if she didn't mess with them, assuming medical was good here. "Just sit tight, alright sweety?" she pats the downed mare before standing lightly and joining the group. "Fuck..." she says softly.
  585. [16:37] * Rough_Waters is just sitting there
  586. [16:38] * Nguvu tries his best to comfort Proverb, "You will be ok, Provy. We are here now. Wounds will heal." Her wounds look worse than anything even the heavily scarred stallion has seen... but they have to heal. They have to.
  587. [16:39] <Antidote> Crosswind does all she can for the interrogator before standing, scanning the room, and trotting out with the rest of the group. "Well that was fuckin' lovely. Guess how we're getting out?"
  588. [16:39] <Rough_Waters> "How are we getting out?"
  589. [16:40] * Spirit continues supporting Proverb, "I don't even think we alerted the rest of the base, this place was meant to be isolated, and screams won't be heard far from here."
  590. [16:40] * Nguvu looks up at Crosswind, then just nods at Rough_Waters, "What she said."
  591. [16:40] * Proverb cries, simply cries. The scalpel is still embedded into the bone of her right wing.
  592. [16:42] <Antidote> "Could 'chute out, I guess, or maybe try getting out the same way in, but that's suicide."
  593. [16:43] * Spirit looks up, "Do we have enough for all the non-fliers?"
  594. [16:43] * Nguvu looks down at the scalpel in Proverb's wing, but without medical knowledge he's afraid to try to remove it.
  595. [16:44] <Antidote> "Ever heard ah' a tandem jump Spirit?"
  596. [16:44] * Spirit replies, "No."
  597. [16:45] * Nguvu looks up at Crosswind again, "Is this safe for Proverb. Parachute... I hear there is much jarring of body..."
  598. [16:45] <Antidote> Crosswind chuckles. "Well, we're doin thah', who carrying who? I would say Nguvu by himself n' Rough carries Proverb."
  599. [16:46] * Nguvu has no idea how to parachute, "I am not knowing how to operate parachute."
  600. [16:47] <Rough_Waters> "I parachuted once, I didnt have to do anything and it opened for me"
  601. [16:47] <Antidote> Crosswind looks at Nguvu. "Yah' don't have to, you hit altitude and it deploys."
  602. [16:49] * Nguvu nods, "Then let us go. Sooner we are away, sooner we can give Proverb medical care." He crouches low and gestures for Proverb to be placed on his back, "I will carry her until we are ready for jumping, yes?"
  603. [16:50] <Antidote> Crosswind nods, "Well, eeyup, but we could clear tah' clouds right here."
  604. [16:51] <@Spirit> "We have the pegasi to."
  605. [16:51] * Nguvu looks down at the floor below him, "I do not have parachute..."
  606. [16:52] <Antidote> Hurricane trots over to the supply closet where he stashed the jailer, fishing around before pulling out the bag from before.
  607. [16:53] <@Spirit> The jailer is still out cold.
  608. [16:53] <Antidote> Hurricane unzips the bag and tosses two parachute packs out to both Rough_Waters and Nguvu.
  609. [16:54] * Rough_Waters smiles "Thank you!" She puts it on
  610. [16:54] * Nguvu picks up a parachute. He tries to put it on, but it's unfamiliar and he can't figure out the straps. He may have it upside down.
  611. [16:55] * Proverb would point out that her eyepatch is on the floor near the chair, but can't.
  612. [16:56] * Nguvu picks up Proverb's eyepatch and tucks it into his armor.
  613. [16:57] * Spirit holds onto Proverb until Nguvu is set up for the drop
  614. [16:57] <Antidote> Crosswind puts her helmet back on, looking into the interrogation room to check on the three downed pegasus before turning back to the group. "Ya'll all ready?"
  615. [16:58] * Rough_Waters nods "Yupyup!"
  616. [16:58] <Antidote> Hurricane trots over to Nguvu. "Pssst... turn it the other way..."
  617. [16:58] * Nguvu blinks and turns the chute around, "Oh... yes... straps fit much better now..."
  618. [16:59] <Antidote> Hurrican nods light also saying. "Watch for the right hook." he says simply before trotting away.
  619. [16:59] * Nguvu frowns and looks after Hurricane, "Wha-"
  620. [17:00] <Antidote> Nothing comes of it, Crosswind and Stormfront open a small opening in the floor, "Who's goin' first?"
  621. [17:00] * Spirit looks to Rough_Waters for carrying Proverb.
  622. [17:00] * Proverb is limp!
  623. [17:01] * Rough_Waters nodnods "Am I jumping with her?"
  624. [17:01] * Spirit nods, "Be careful..."
  625. [17:01] * Nguvu frowns at Proverb and looks to Rough_Waters, "Keep her safe during jump."
  626. [17:02] * Rough_Waters nods "I promise" places her where the parachute wont knock her away, a few straps of ice holding her to her
  627. [17:02] <Antidote> Hurricane helps to secure Proverb to Rough_Waters, checking all the straps several times. "Alright, we're good."
  628. [17:02] * Spirit looks at Stormfront, "I'll wait back to fix the hole."
  629. [17:03] <Antidote> Stormfront shakes her head. "Naw, go on ahead, we have some business to attend to here."
  630. [17:03] * Rough_Waters nods "Ready"
  631. [17:03] * Nguvu steps up to the hole in the floor, then looks to Crosswind, "Give me gun. I will go first to make sure landing area is safe."
  632. [17:03] <Antidote> Crosswind shakes her head. "I don't trust you, Hurricane will see et' secured."
  633. [17:05] * Nguvu gestures for Hurricane to lead the way.
  634. [17:06] <Antidote> Hurricane does a cannonball through the hole in the cloud before diving for the surface.
  635. [17:06] * Nguvu drops through the hole and starts to tumble towards the ground. After a few seconds he starts to scream.
  636. [17:07] * Rough_Waters checks once more that Provy is secure and then drops through the hole. She may or may not be saying "Whee" loudly
  637. [17:07] <Antidote> Stormfront and Crosswind motion for Spirit to go. "Get goin'..."
  638. [17:07] * Spirit looks to Stormfront and Crosswind, "You sure you don't want me to patch up the hole?"
  639. [17:08] <Antidote> They shake their heads. "We are doin' what you all won't." one of them says simply.
  640. [17:12] * Spirit blinks, "What?"
  641. [17:12] <Antidote> Crosswind points a wing to the interrogation room. "Makin' sure they get help." she says simply. "Now get goin', won't be more than a minute Spirit."
  642. [17:13] * Spirit nods, "O-okay..." She'd offer to help, but Proverb's injured and she needs to fret. One dive out the hole later and she's following the others.
  643. [17:14] <Antidote> Hurricane has long been on the ground now, scanning around for anything hostile.
  644. [17:15] * Nguvu lands with a thump, stumbles, and falls over. He starts struggling underneath the parachute.
  645. [17:15] <@Spirit> The ground is clear, and mostly dirt.
  646. [17:15] * Rough_Waters manages to for once land gracefully, trying to not jolt Proverb too much
  647. [17:17] * Spirit lands and looks up, then to Proverb
  648. [17:18] * Nguvu makes his way out from under the parachute, then stands up and trots over to Rough_Waters and Proverb, "She is landing ok?"
  649. [17:19] <Antidote> Two specks can be seen dropping out from under the cloud soon enough diving for the ground and soon enough landing lightly with the group. "We're done here, let's get trotting."
  650. [17:19] * Proverb is still breathing! That's always good!
  651. [17:19] * Rough_Waters nods "Yeah I think shes ok, lets just get her help"
  652. [17:19] * Spirit points towards Port Equestria, "That way."
  653. [17:20] * Nguvu looks towards Port Equestria, then back to Rough_Waters, "Can you carry her ok? I would offer to take her, but moving may not be good..."
  654. [17:20] * Rough_Waters nods "I can carry her just fine, cmon, lets get going" she says with urgency, trotting where Spirit pointed
  655. [17:21] <Antidote> Two of the three pegasus takeoff and scout around or circle overhead, looking for trouble, the third sticks with the group, taking off her helmet, it's Crosswind.
  656. [17:21] * Nguvu nods and starts towards Port Equestria. He sticks close to Rough_Waters and scans the ground, and skies, around them.
  657. [17:23] <@Spirit> The group travels to Port Equestria and the Starts and Stripes Inn's back door.
  658. [17:26] <Antidote> Crosswind looks around. "Alright, let's get the hell outta' here."
