FoE PNP Irrelevant Group Session 1

[04:19] * Lelantus is most likely hiding amongst the tall trees, waiting. He was told there was a disturbance in the area, and was asked to investiage, but so far the only thing he saw was a dopey looking unicorn.
[04:20] * Tex is plodding along the path toward Flanklin, the large stride of the huge (even for his race) minotaur making his pace rather fast despite how slow his motions seem to be. He has a large backpack on his back, a club that is comically small compared to him, and is wearing a set of trader's clothing.
[04:22] * Efficacious_Disposition doesn't know the directions off-hoof, and knowing that she can check her pipbuck for that is beyond her intellectual capacity. "The river! ..Was I following the river, or trotting against the river?" She wasn't actually doing either, but she still ponders if she was. "Oh well, I'll just go this way!" The happy Stablepony resumes her path northwards, coincidentally.
[04:26] * Doc is fiddling with her revolver in the back of a caravan wagon.
[04:33] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus sees a dopey-looking unicorn. He fails to spot the group of ponies lurking among the trees a short distance north of his position, but as Efficacious_Disposition turns to start walking again she does spot them. It's hard to tell through the trees, but there seem to be three of them and they appear armed. At least one of them is looking at Effy, but the others seem interested in
[04:33] <~IrrelevantGM> something in the trees. Meanwhile, Doc is riding in the rear of a two-wagon caravan, surrounded by traders and a few guards. They're heading north, a bend in the path hides the road ahead. Tex is making good time along the road, a fair distance behind the caravan but just coming into view. A couple of the caravan guards do a small double-take when they spot the minotaur, muttering confusedly.
[04:34] * IrrelevantGM correction, none of the lurking ponies seem interested in something in the trees. They're watching Efficacious_Disposition
[04:36] * Tex keeps plodding along, not paying much attention to the caravan ponies, Doc, Efficacious_Disposition, or Lelantus. Assuming he can see them. If he can't... well... he keeps... plodding along.
[04:36] * Efficacious_Disposition comes to a stop when she sees the armed ponies. Are they bad ponies, or are they good ponies? She moves closer to a tree, for just a little bit of cover, but she already made it fairly obvious that she saw them.
[04:40] <~IrrelevantGM> Tex can see the caravan, and can likely pick out individuals at this distance. Efficacious_Disposition and Lelantus are not within sight of Tex or Doc at the moment. The three lurking ponies all focus on Efficacious_Disposition and, after a moment, the largest of them gives a rough shove to one of the other two, who then steps towards Effy. The approaching earth pony is young looking,
[04:40] <~IrrelevantGM> probably in his late teens. He's carrying a smallish pistol, .32mm, gripped in his teeth and is moving cautiously.
[04:44] * Efficacious_Disposition doesn't move from her slight cover, but she smiles and speaks out towards the armed pony. "Hi! I'm following a rainbow. Or I was."
[04:44] * Doc peers out the back of the wagon at Tex, pushing her glasses up.
[04:45] * Tex looks between each of the ponies on the wagon, including Doc, but doesn't pay them much attention. He just keeps on a-plodding.
[04:49] * Efficacious_Disposition continues, "I'm heading to Flanklin. Have you seen any rainbows up that way? ...Do you have any tips? I'm a newbie." She has a very pleasant smile.
[04:50] <~IrrelevantGM> The caravan guards keep shooting glances back at Tex, but the distant minotaur doesn't seem to be much of a threat. Just... strange. They shrugs and make a few comments about keeping an eye out. The pony approaching Efficacious_Disposition stops suddenly, his gun slipping out of his mouth and clattering to the ground while he blinks at the surprisingly pleasant mare, "Uhh.... r-rainbows?
[04:50] <~IrrelevantGM> I... uh..." he looks down and seems genuinely confused to find his gun laying at his hooves.
[04:53] * Tex notes the caravan ponies watching him, but shrugs and keeps on plodding along. He does his pick up his pace a little and start to move to the other side of the road so that, should he start to pass, he'll keep his distance.
[04:54] * Lelantus spots the raiders talking to the dopey unicorn... he slides his machete into his clawed hand because he lost his last crossbow bolt missing a shot, He gets ready to assist, not out of the goodness of his heart, but because the raiders were probably the disturbance he was sent to investigate. They weren't monsters though, which greatly upset him.
[04:55] * Efficacious_Disposition giggles. "You're a newbie too, huh? Do you want to trot to Flanklin with me? If your friends don't mind."
[04:58] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus will see that one of the other raiders is much like the one who stepped out; young, lightly armed, and not very enthusiastic. The other is wearing some light barding of a style popular among raiders, and carrying a 10mm pistol and a pipe, both currently holstered. The pony that stepped out bends down and fumblingly picks up his gun, trying to point it at Efficacious_Disposition
[04:58] <~IrrelevantGM> again and speaking around the firearm, "Ah fink 'at's 'ot gonna 'appen..." The armored pony in the trees frowns and calls out, "What's the holdup? Keep hold of your damn weapon!" Meanwhile, the carvan guards return to their usual banter and watchfulness, still occasionally glancing back to keep an eye on Tex.
[04:59] * Doc is still looking curiously at Tex.
[04:59] * Tex is fine with the caravan ponies and Doc just looking at him. He's used to that. As long as their weapons stay put away, he was content to live and let live.
[05:00] * Lelantus attempts to flutter over sneakily to the trees right over the ambush party.
[05:00] * Efficacious_Disposition doesn't really like guns pointed at her, not that anypony does. "What was that? I can't understand you with that thing in your mouth~"
[05:08] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus attempts to sneak, but accidentally smacks into a branch as she flutters past, knocking it loose and sending the branch crashing to the ground. The loud racket draws the attention off the pony speaking with Efficacious_Disposition and, startled, he fires a shot off into the trees. The slams harmlessly into a trunk, nowhere near Lelantus or Efficacious_Disposition, and the pony,
[05:08] <~IrrelevantGM> confused and shaken, drops his gun from the recoil. He glances at Efficacious_Disposition, then up at Lelantus. With a look over his shoulder at the pair of ponies still lurking in the trees, he lets out a gurgling cry of fright and makes a run for the path, heading southwards. The armored raider growls angrily, drawing his own gun and firing at Efficacious_Disposition, but the shot goes
[05:08] <~IrrelevantGM> wild. The remaining pony draws his weapon more slowly, looking between Lelantus and Effy as if he can't decide who to shoot at. Meanwhile, the caravan guards all jump up at the sound of a gunshot, drawing their weapons and aiming warily up the path while the wagons slow to a halt. Two of the guards start to inch their way up the path to look around the bend, a third keeps a very close eye
[05:08] <~IrrelevantGM> on Tex, who is in shouting range now, while the others close in around Doc and the caravan, sweeping their aim over the trees beside the path.
[05:10] * Doc 's ears perk, and she frowns, hopping out of the back of the wagon and drawing her revolver.
[05:12] * Tex draws his club swiftly at the sound of the first gunshot and peers at the caravan, trying to decide if they were the ones shooting. Eventually, the second shot and the reaction of the guards grease his mental gears enough to make him realize that they, in fact, were /not/ the ones who shot. Who did it is still beyond him, though, and he just stands there, trying to figure it out.
[05:12] * Efficacious_Disposition watching the pony run past her, before looking up at Lelantus herself. She eeps, "THERE'S A MONSTER IN THE TREES!" She draws her MEW, and takes full cover behind the tree she's near, not really sure what's going on.
[05:19] * Lelantus rubs his face where it smacked into a tree and looks around. He hears a shot and realizes he has to fight now, dammnit, way to ruin his dramatic rescue. He doesn't realize Effy is talking about him, or the Irony would hurt.
[05:25] <~IrrelevantGM> The conflict is set. Efficacious_Disposition is hiding behind a tree near the path. Two raiders stand nearby, firing or preparing to fire. Lelantus is among the trees nearby, spotted but still holding a height advantage over the raiders. All four of these are within ten units of each other, short range. A third raider, unarmed and unarmored, is fleeing down the path about twenty units from
[05:25] <~IrrelevantGM> the conflict and just about to come into sight of the caravan. The caravan guards are aiming up the road now, standing off about fifteen units down the path. Doc is at the back of the caravan, a further ten units away, and Tex is coming up on the carvan forty units behind Doc's position.
[05:30] <~IrrelevantGM> Efficacious_Disposition can hear movement deeper into the trees, what sounds like a group of 5-10 ponies about 50 units away, moving slowly due to the dense underbrush.
[05:30] * Doc launches herself into the air, and flies towards the sounds of shooting up the path.
[05:43] * Doc looks down at the two raiders, firing off two shots with her revolver at one raider, and two more at the other.
[05:49] <~IrrelevantGM> Doc fires at the pair of ponies, one shot slamming into the unarmored raider's torso with a meaty thunk. Then young raider cries out in pain.
[05:52] * Lelantus is confused when a random pegasus flies out of nowhere, "What the hell? Well, I'm not complaining." He swoops down at the raider that was just shot and hacks at it with his machete thrice, then uses his remaining 10 AP to fly into the air right above the ponies figuring that ponies would have trouble shooting straight up.
[05:54] <~IrrelevantGM> The injured raider takes a thwack from Lelantus's machete, scoring a deep cut in his side and shouting in pain again. He's badly hurt now.
[05:55] * Tex cocks his head when Doc takes of flying and blinks when he hears more shots. Still unsure of what's going on, he takes off at a run toward the sound of the conflict and just ignores the fleeing, unarmed, unarmored pony. He pauses just a moment, taking in the situation, and... well, it doesn't take 4 INT to recognize a group of raiders. He lets out a roar and rushes the injured one
[05:55] * Tex before swinging his club at it!
[05:56] <~IrrelevantGM> Tex narrowly misses the raider, probably because it's stumbling around in pain and starting to sob a little bit.
[05:59] * Efficacious_Disposition looks around the tree to see the two pegasus' (that griffin is a pegasus, right?), as well as a minotaur (huh?), and puts the pieces together; they are helping! They're between the big angry pony and her. She calls out to them, "There's more in the trees!" She shuffles around (towards the river side) to line up a shot on the big guy.
[05:59] * Lelantus is not a pegasus!
[06:11] <~IrrelevantGM> The armored raider grunts in pain as the magical bolt from Efficacious_Disposition's MEW slams into his armor. He turns to face the pony that fired at him and takes a shot, the bullet slamming into Efficacious_Disposition! He takes a quick step away from Tex and Lelantus, eyes boggling as his mind takes in what it's seeing, and fires a hasty shot at the huge minotaur! It hits! The other
[06:11] <~IrrelevantGM> raider shakes his head, focusing through the pain and taking aim at the griffin that just whacked him, or trying to anyway, it's hard to aim straight up. Both shots got wide.
[06:14] <Doc> "Oi! Motherfucker! Up here!"
[06:14] * Doc fires two more shots at the unarmored raider!
[06:15] * Doc reloads too.
[06:15] <~IrrelevantGM> The unarmored raider flinches and breathes a sigh of relief when she doesn't die
[06:15] <Doc> "Bah!"
[06:18] * Lelantus flies back down to the enemy buttface guy, the injured one, and swings his machete in his face, all awesome like.
[06:20] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus flails around the injured raider, who looks very surprised to be not dead right now.
[06:20] * Lelantus uses his remaining 5 AP to land on the injured raider's back, maybe the big guy will try to shoot him and hit his buddy instead.
[06:21] * Tex grunts when the bullet hits him and bellows out a roar a he swings his club horizontally at the injured raider before gripping it in both hands and slamming it down in an overhead swing.
[06:23] <~IrrelevantGM> The young raider jerks her head back as Tex's first swing misses, then looks up, eyes growing wide as the club swings back around and down. It swishes right in front of Lelantus's beak and clobbers the raider, smashing her skull and sending her body, limp and lifeless, toppling to the ground.
[06:24] * Efficacious_Disposition gasps after taking a bullet, fortunately not dropping her gun in the process. She's never been shot before! It wasn't so bad... she's only like, a fourth dead. She tries to save any tears for later, as she lines up a couple more shots at the big angry armoured raider.
[06:26] * Lelantus stares at Tex, "Uh. Thanks." Note to self, don't take out a contract to kill minotaurs.
[06:27] <~IrrelevantGM> The armored raider grunts in pain as he takes another hit from the MEW. Injured, alone, and with enemies all around, he chooses the better part of valor and discretely runs the fuck away, galloping into the woods as quickly as the underbrush will allow.
[06:31] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus and Doc can hear movement deeper in the trees. The armored raider has fled towards a group of ponies who are now about 30 units away! Three caravan guards are also warily coming around the corner with weapons ready. Tex notices that he has hands. Whoa! Hands!
[06:31] * Tex snorts an acknowledgement to Lelantus. Wait... hands?
[06:32] * Doc 's ears perk. "Oi! We've got more coming! Look sharp down there."
[06:33] * Doc sweeps above the trees, looking through them and seeing if she can get a good look at the approaching group.
[06:35] * Efficacious_Disposition knew that there were others out there already, but she lost track of them. She is staring at Tex's hands though.
[06:38] <~IrrelevantGM> Doc sees a dozen ponies in the trees, including the injured raider. They are spread out in a line and moving slowly towards the road. Most of them are unarmored and lightly armed, like the younger raider that has already been killed, but a few are wearing armor and one is even wielding a rifle, a varmint rifle to be precise, serial number 421378404. How did Doc spot that? Who knows! A few
[06:38] <~IrrelevantGM> of the unarmored ponies, as well as the varmint-rifle wielder, look up as Doc sweeps overhead.
[06:41] * Lelantus hears something coming and jumps into the nearest try and tries to stealth it up
[06:43] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus fails to sneak, but doesn't call undo attention to herself. Even so, one of the armored raiders looks her way, and the varmint rifle raider stares directly at her.
[06:44] <~IrrelevantGM> *himself, him
[06:46] * Lelantus pretends to be a tree. beep beep.
[06:48] * Tex looks in the direction that Lelantus and Doc had gone and lets out another roar before rushing to the nearest raider and performing another overhead swing! A dozen enemies? He's got this!
[06:49] <Doc> "Crazy ass minotaur..."
[06:50] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider nearest to Tex is knocked over the head. Hard. He stumbles and stares at this monstrous behemoth that has suddenly burst into the forest!
[06:51] * Efficacious_Disposition attempts to hide behind a tree near where Lelantus tried; that seemed like a good idea. Success or fail (she can always just assume a success in her own head) she readies a shot on any armed raider pony that steps within her vision.
[06:56] <~IrrelevantGM> The three caravan guards aim their guns into the forest. Two of them fire off shots, while the third can't seem to find a target. Several cries of pain sound out from among the trees.
[07:01] <~IrrelevantGM> Several of the raiders closest to Tex run back, spending a few seconds shoving their way through underbrush to get away from whatever this screaming creature is. A few others, braver or just standing further away, take shots at the minotaur.
[07:03] <~IrrelevantGM> Two shots score hits, wounding the minotaur.
[07:03] <~IrrelevantGM> The varmint rifle raider lines up a shot on Doc and fires!
[07:04] * Efficacious_Disposition shoots at the first one she spots! She's such a sneaky pony sometimes. It's an attitude thing, duh.
[07:06] * Doc yelps, grunting and firing four shots at the varmint rifle-wielding raider in return.
[07:08] <~IrrelevantGM> The varmint rifle raider takes a pair of hits, grunting in pain!
[07:11] * Lelantus figures the pony with the varmint rifle is the leader, and killing him would demoralize the rest he flies at the pony and slashes thrice! He has five AP left after that so he takes a wildswing at -15 to hit, that'll work...
[07:13] <~IrrelevantGM> stumbles under the force of Lelantus's swings, two of them scoring deep hits in the gaps of his armor. He cries out in pain.
[07:13] * Tex bellows when his hide is pierced by the bullets, but those small caliber rounds weren't going to stop him! He presses his attack on the raider he'd thunked earlier, bellowing out his anger as he swings once, then takes his time to actually line up his second swing! "TEX SMASH PUNY RAIDER!"
[07:15] <~IrrelevantGM> The puny raider is well smashed, crumbling under the blow and dropping to the forest floor, where he lies very still.
[07:16] * Efficacious_Disposition moves further in, to help the incredible hulkotaur. She lines up a shot on the first unengaged raider she sees. Afterwards, she realizes her stealth is gone! So she just fires two regular shots more.
[07:18] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider, still trying to flee from Tex, takes a hit in the back from Efficacious_Disposition! She screams a little bit.
[07:19] <~IrrelevantGM> The three caravan guards continue shooting into the group of raiders
[07:21] <~IrrelevantGM> The third guard finally spots his targets, then jams his gun while firing wildly into the air! Silly guard! The other two fire at the enemy, but only score one hit through the trees.
[07:22] <~IrrelevantGM> Several raiders continue running away, but the others keep firing at Tex. Meanwhile, the varmint rifle raider turns his attention to Lelantus, who is now in his face.
[07:26] <~IrrelevantGM> Tex takes several hard hits, while Lelantus gets shot at point blank range!
[07:28] * Doc fires off her last two shots, before throwing the revolver at the varmint rifle raider!
[07:31] <~IrrelevantGM> The leader grunts in pain when he's shot again, then blinks in surprise when a gun thwacks him in the side.
[07:31] <Doc> "Hah! Take that!"
[07:34] * Lelantus attacks the leader three times, thena fourth wild swing at -5 to hit!
[07:36] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider leader passes out after Lelantus's first hit!
[07:38] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus's second hit buries her machete into the raider leader's neck, nearly cutting his head clean off! He ain't getting up from that one.
[07:38] * Tex roars in pain when the rounds slam into him and glares death at the raider Efficacious_Disposition had shot. He presses forward and swings his club at the pony once before gripping his weapon in both hands and bringing it straight down once again, spittle flying from the bloodied and injured minotaur's mouth as he roars out, "TINY BOOLIT NO HURT TEX!"
[07:41] * Efficacious_Disposition trots up behind Tex, and casts a healing spell on them. She's not that dumb to not notice their injury. Afterwards, she pew's a shot at the pony they were trying to mash.
[07:41] <~IrrelevantGM> Tex missed both swings as the raider pushes through underbrush
[07:49] <~IrrelevantGM> Efficacious_Disposition misses her shot, but provides excellent heals to Tex!
[07:51] <~IrrelevantGM> The caravan guards fire again, although one of them has to take some time to unjam his gun.
[07:53] <~IrrelevantGM> Two more raiders take hits. One of them, severely wounded, falls to the ground and slips into unconsciousness.
[07:54] <~IrrelevantGM> The rest of the raiders, many of them wounded, their leader dead, comrades falling around them, and a raging minotaur that seems to brush off gunfire among them, break and start fleeing through the woods.
[08:03] * Doc doesn't pursue, instead landing, examining the shoulder where she got shot at and then shrugging. She could trot it off.
[08:03] * Lelantus realizes the raiders are all running and starts to loot the pony he killed.
[08:03] * Efficacious_Disposition stares up at Tex, in awe.
[08:04] * Tex waves his club in the air and bellows at the fleeing raiders, but doesn't give chase. Once they are gone, he leans against a nearby tree and closes his eyes as his wounds knit somewhat, breathing a little heavily and not noticing Efficacious_Disposition's stare.
[08:04] * Doc also begins to loot the dead raiders.
[08:06] * Efficacious_Disposition points a hoof up towards Tex' head. She smiles, "Wow, you're twice as horny as I am!" She closes her eyes, smugly, "I knew it. I figured it was possible for some unicorns to have more than one horn." Tex is some sort of unicorn, obviously.
[08:07] * Lelantus raises an eyebrow at Doc, "You didn't kill anything, what do you think you're doing?"
[08:07] * Tex opens his eyes and pulls a healing potion out of his bags. He goes to drink it, then blinks and looks down at Efficacious_Disposition. "Tex not understand."
[08:07] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus finds a varmint rifle at 79% condition, plus 6 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition for it. There are also 36 caps scattered around in his pockets and a healing potion. Doc, presumably searching the other raiders, will find a pair of .22  revolvers and one round of ammunition. The guns are at 86% and 97% condition. One of said raiders is still alive, but unconscious.
[08:07] <~IrrelevantGM> Doc also finds 7 caps
[08:08] <Doc> "One round... Well, fuck me."
[08:08] * Tex didn't actually drink the potion. He stopped before doing so. Bleh unclear posts.
[08:08] * Doc doesn't even take the guns, just the caps.
[08:09] * Efficacious_Disposition pats Tex. "It's okay, big guy. I can heal you. I'm trained in Stable.. doctor... ology."
[08:09] * Lelantus says to doc louder, "Hey, you. You didn't kill anything, stop stealing."
[08:10] <~IrrelevantGM> The caravan guards stand around, keeping a wary eye on the trees and watching the exchange between Doc and Lelantus curiously.
[08:10] * Tex cocks his head at Efficacious_Disposition. "Heal? You do that for Tex?" He offers the mare his healing potion, then blinks and looks between Doc and Lelantus. "Who steal? Raider?"
[08:10] * Lelantus looks over at Tex, "The pegasus pony is trying to steal from you, she's taking stuff from the ponies you killed."
[08:11] * Doc slowly turns to Lelantus. "How about I stick a shotgun up your ass, griffon?"
[08:12] * Efficacious_Disposition doesn't take the offered potion. Logically, she can make use of it much better, but that's forethought she doesn't bother with. "I don't need it. I can heal myself too."
[08:13] * Doc now picks up the revolver, namely the one she had thrown, loading the one round.
[08:13] * Lelantus walks over to the Pegasus brandishing his Machete, "You don't have a shotgun, or anygun. I suggest you give that minotaur what belongs to him, and not threaten me again pegasus."
[08:13] * Tex grunts at Lelantus before looking to Doc. "She fight. She get part." He furrows his brow and grumbles as he looks between the two winged creatures. "No make Tex smash." He looks back to Efficacious_Disposition, then his healing potion, then shrugs and puts it back in his bags.
[08:14] * Doc raises an eyebrow. "Yeah... sure."
[08:15] <~IrrelevantGM> The three guards make their way back to the caravan.
[08:15] * Efficacious_Disposition casts a Restoration spell on Tex. She can cast it a few times, but they are all just meeting, so that's time she needs to greet with.
[08:15] * Lelantus narrows his eyes at Doc, "I don't know who you think you are, but you're lucky the bull is nicer than me. Take your shit, but if you threaten me again I'll cut off your wings a feather at a time." He turns away from doc and walks over to Efficacious_Disposition and says to her, "You, horn-pony, unicorn, whatever. You're got balls... metaphorically speaking."
[08:16] * Doc snorts. "Fucking griffons." She mutters, twirling the revolver, looking around. "Anyone hurt?"
[08:18] * Lelantus is apparently multiple griffons. Multiplication powers go.
[08:18] * Efficacious_Disposition blinks, and turns to Lelantus, after her spell casting. "Hm? Oh, hello there. You're that pegasus who I called a monster. I didn't mean it, I'm just new. It's my first day!" She offers a pleasant smile.
[08:19] * Tex watches Doc pick up a gun and load a bullet, then nods. "That you part." He doesn't realize that was her gun in the first place. He looks to Lelantus and frowns slightly before blinking and turning toward Efficacious_Disposition. "Tex forget you magic-pony. You have healy magic! That good." He smiles at the mare, then pats her on the head gently. "Tex thanks." He then looks to Doc.
[08:19] * Tex "Tex get shot lots, but fine. Healy-pony help." He then walks over to the two raiders he'd downed, grabs their guns, then pauses when he sees the third, unconscious one. "This one still live."
[08:21] * Lelantus blinks at Efficacious_Disposition, "What. I'm not a monster, or a pegasus. I'm a Griffin, and I /hunt/ monsters. What do you mean it's your first da-" He spots her pipbuck that she has, right? "Oh... you're from a stable, aren't you... so it was stupidity, not bravery..."
[08:21] * Lelantus looks over at Tex when he mentions one is still alive, "Kill it."
[08:22] * Doc trots over to the knocked out raider. "I've got it."
[08:22] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider stirs, hooves twitching as she begins to regain consciousness.
[08:22] * Efficacious_Disposition is wearing a pipbuck, sunhat with a light taped to it, and Stablemare barding designed to compliment medical work. Stables had doctors.
[08:23] * Lelantus figures the sunhat flashlight combo is just efficent, and wouldn't recognize stable barding. Pipbucks he knows though.
[08:23] * Doc levels the revolver at the raider's head and simply pulls the trigger, point-blank. One shot should do it, right to the base of the skull.
[08:24] * Efficacious_Disposition gasps. "Hey wait!" She cringes at the shot.
[08:24] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider waves a hoof weakly at Doc, eyes opening just in time to see the pegasus's face as he fires. Her hooves fall limply to the ground.
[08:25] * Doc is a female, she's pretty sure.
[08:25] * Tex nods at Lelantus' word and readies his club... but Doc beats him to it. He shrugs, then puts his club back on his back before checking the body.
[08:25] * Doc looks at Lelantus. "How about now, hmm?"
[08:26] * Lelantus looks over at Doc, "You shot someone who was near dead and unconcious. Congrats, do you want a fucking cookie or something?"
[08:27] * Efficacious_Disposition frowns at Doc. "Don't do that. We were already done fighting."
[08:28] <~IrrelevantGM> A pair of guards poke their heads around the corner to investigate the shot. They call back an all-clear to the caravan.
[08:28] * Doc rolls her eyes. "Don't we all." She looks at Efficacious_Disposition. "Welcome to the Wasteland kid."
[08:32] * Tex glances over at Efficacious_Disposition while he checks the newly-dead raider's body. "She raider. She smash when wake up. Sorry. Need smash first."
[08:32] * Efficacious_Disposition doesn't really know how to handle this, but Doc is clearly more dangerous than the raiders.. considering she even talked to one. She pulls out her MEW and points it at them. "I w-wanf a beffer anfer..!"
[08:34] * Doc raises an eyebrow. "Woa, woa kid. Calm down, I'm not even armed!"
[08:34] * Tex frowns and stands up to his full height, hand on the hilt of his club. "Put gun down. No need smash."
[08:36] * Lelantus looks between the three of them, "And this, is why I work alone."
[08:37] * Efficacious_Disposition snorts, and holsters her gun back. "I know you aren't. You better remember that."
[08:37] <Doc> "Yeahhh, sure."
[08:38] * Doc looks at her again-useless revolver, and holsters it on her doctor's fatigues again, shrugging.
[08:39] * IrrelevantGM the caravan wagons rumble around the corner and slowly pass the group, guards alert and watching the trees, as well as keeping an eye on the group standing around in the recent battlefield. Sitting in the back, in the same spot that Doc vacated at the start of the fight, is the raider who fled early on. He's talking nervously to a trader about, "This group of raiders that chased
[08:39] * IrrelevantGM after me and I was so scared! Thank Celestia you came along!"
[08:40] <Doc> "...great, there goes my ride."
[08:41] * Tex snorts and shakes his head before releasing his club. "Why tiny-ponies never get along?" Grumbling quietly, he digs into his bag and pulls out a can of cram that he then just... tears the top part off of and begins to messily eat from. He looks over as the caravan passes and watches them quietly, then smiles a little, glad that he'd helped that pony at least. ...dumbass.
[08:41] * Lelantus says to Efficacious_Disposition, "You've got guts, try not to lose them." He looks over at the carvaan, there was strength in numbers there... but they also made more noise, making them likely to be attacked. Decisions decisions.
[08:43] <Doc> "Anyway, been nice talking with y'all. Gotta catch up with my ride though, toodles!"
[08:43] * Doc takes off after the caravan, humming.
[08:43] * Efficacious_Disposition smiles, happy for that one raider, then she turns to Tex, "So you're Tex? It's nice to meet you. I'm heading to Flanklin, because I saw a rainbow that way. Do you want to travel together?" She pokes her horn with a hoof, "One horny pony to another, I bet we'll meet many over there!"
[08:45] <~IrrelevantGM> The traders make room for Doc to sit in the caravan. The young raider, still pretending to be a helpless victim, avoids looking at Doc.
[08:45] * Efficacious_Disposition turns to Lelantus, "You too! We can travel in a merry trio! That could even be fun!"
[08:46] * Lelantus stares at Efficacious_Disposition, "Fun... fine. I'm heading that direction anyway. Just... don't call me a pony again."
[08:47] * Doc makes every point to stare and sit close to the raider. "Hey~"
[08:47] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider gulps and smiles nervously a Doc, "H-hi..."
[08:47] * Efficacious_Disposition shakes her head, "Well, I don't know your name!" She holds out a hoof. "My name is Efficacious_Disposition."
[08:47] * Tex waves to Doc before turning back to Efficacious_Disposition and nodding. "Me Tex. Me go Flanklin... but me like go alone..." He hmms and watches the mare for a second before laughing. "Me no pony! Tex minotaur. What name?" He thumps his chest with a fist, then looks over at Lelantus. "You got name, grumpy-griffin?"
[08:47] <Doc> "You, are in my spot."
[08:48] * Tex stares at Efficacious_Disposition when she gives her name, a blank look on his face.
[08:48] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider quickly moves to another spot, "Sorry."
[08:49] <Doc> "Oh, you didn't have to move. Come back over, stay awhile. Don't worry, I don't bite... most of the time."
[08:49] * Efficacious_Disposition continues, "I know, big words. I don't even know what they mean. My parents were science ponies, go figure. I don't think anypony knows what it means."
[08:49] * Lelantus stares at Efficacious_Disposition's hoof, "Effa... Efficaf Dis.... Effy. Nice to meet you or whatever." He goes to shake her hoof and looks over at the minotaur, "I'm not grumpy... the name is Lel."
[08:50] * Efficacious_Disposition shakes Lelantus' claw. "Oh? ..Lil' what?"
[08:50] * Tex just cocks his head before looking at Lelantus. He nods. "Effy-pony! Better name. Easy say. And you Lel-griffin. Nice meet you." He finishes off his cram, then climbs to his feet.
[08:51] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider is still sitting somewhat nearby. Wagons aren't the most spacious vehicle, after all. He rubs the back of his head with a hoof and looks at Doc, "Oh, well... not biting is good."
[08:51] * Efficacious_Disposition claps her hooves together, and smiles. "Lil' Griffin! Nice to meet you!"
[08:51] * Lelantus stares at Efficacious_Disposition, "No, not Lil, Lel. It's short for Lelantus." He nods at Tex, "We really should go, you ground walkers are slow enough."
[08:51] <Doc> "So, what's your name?"
[08:52] * IrrelevantGM blinks at Doc, "I'm, uh... Sweet Tart."
[08:52] <~IrrelevantGM> The raider does that
[08:52] * Doc grins. "Name's Doc, plain and simple. Where you heading to Tart?"
[08:53] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart points to the road ahead, "Flanklin, of course... that's the only place to go way up here..."
[08:53] * Tex looks between Lelantus and Efficacious_Disposition several times before snorting and nodding. "Ok. Tex need work and trade." He turns and starts walking up the road at his rather brisk, long-strided pace.
[08:54] * Doc grins, leaning closer to Sweet Tart. "Mhmm, aptly named too~"
[08:55] * Efficacious_Disposition nods at Lelantus and Tex. "Effy is what my aunt always called me. It stuck." She turns to the road, "Lets go to Flanklin! I guess!"
[08:55] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart coughs and looks away from Doc, staring out at the river.
[08:55] * Lelantus flies down the road close to the group, they are probably fairly close to the carvaan or something.
[08:55] * Doc whispers to Sweet Treat. "Don't worry, I won't tell anypony."
[08:56] <~IrrelevantGM> Lelantus, Efficacious_Disposition, and Tex are not very far behind the caravan. Perhaps fifty units.
[08:56] * Efficacious_Disposition has to travel at a greater pace to keep up.
[08:56] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart starts to sweat a little bit and nods to Doc, whispering back, "Th-thank you..."
[08:58] * Doc smiles to Treat, before looking back out the back of the wagon, watching the group following them.
[09:00] * Lelantus can't recognize the raider at this distance, good for him. "The raiders must have a camp in the forest." He muses to himself.
[09:00] * Tex is less wary of the caravan now. If they were going to shoot him they probably would've done it already.
[09:04] <~IrrelevantGM> The caravan guards seem less wary of the group following them, seeing as how that group just protected them from a raider ambush.
[09:05] * Lelantus says to Efficacious_Disposition, "Hey, you, Effy. I noticed you doing healy magic 'fore. You mind hitting me with that stuff?"
[09:06] * Efficacious_Disposition trots along behind the caravan, with a smile on her face again. "So Tex, you're going to Flanklin for work? What kind of work is-" She pauses, and blinks at Lelantus. "Oh. Yeah! You only needed to ask."
[09:09] * Efficacious_Disposition motions for Lelantus to stop with her, so she can cast the spell. "I didn't know you got shot. You were being so stealthy!" She saw him trying to be stealthy, which sort of meant he failed, but she doesn't think that at all.
[09:09] * Tex blinks and looks over at Lelantus and Efficacious_Disposition before looking back at his... mostly healed body. The wounds were closed and scabbed over, but still very much there. He shrugs, then answers the mare, "Tex not know. Tex trader, but no have goods or caps. Tex hear Flanklin has lots of ponies. Where lots of ponies, there work."
[09:10] * Lelantus stops by Effy and lands on the ground beside her, "Yeah, real stealthy." He rubs his wound.
[09:10] * Lelantus figures that hurt and flinches away. Why did he think that was a good idea.
[09:12] * Efficacious_Disposition smiles at Lelantus, casting another time. She looks like she either figured his reaction was amusing, or she's always holds that dumb grin.
[09:14] * Lelantus feels alot better, "Thanks for that. Bullets hurt." He starts to move towards the town again, "So you said you were following a rainbow or something? Was that a joke?"
[09:18] * Efficacious_Disposition just looks at Lelantus with her 'neutral' smile. "It can be, if it makes you giggle." She focuses on the path, as she continues talking, "I'm pretty sure home locked up again, to protect themselves. And I'm fine with that, but I had nowhere to go, so I'm following a rainbow!"
[09:21] * Tex snorts at Lelantus, smirking slightly. "They use tiny boolits. They no hurt that bad." He then looks to Efficacious_Disposition. "Why?"
[09:23] * Lelantus uh huhs at Effy, "I don't giggle... but you aren't going to survive long following pretty colours." He smriks at Tex, "Yeah, tiny bullets. Not like my crossbow, which fires much larger things."
[09:23] * Doc misses her shotgun.
[09:24] * Tex raises an eyebrow at Lelantus. "You have crossbow? Why no use?
[09:24] <Tex> "*
[09:25] * Efficacious_Disposition shakes her head, "My gun fires small rainbows! Well, they are if you look at them right. I think I'll be just dandy with my pretty colours."
[09:25] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart misses his pistol. It was like a security blanket.
[09:25] * Lelantus takes out his crossbow to show it off, "Well, I er, have no ammo. I lost my last bolt." He shrugs at Efficacious_Disposition, "Well, whatever. I know you ponies like your colours."
[09:26] * Doc looks over at Sweet Tart. "Hey, you want this?" She holds up her revolver. "No ammo for it, but it works."
[09:26] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart glances around, then nods to Doc, "Y-yeah, thanks.
[09:26] <~IrrelevantGM> "
[09:27] * Tex stares at Efficacious_Disposition with a blank look again before looking at Lelantus. "That why Tex like smash." He pats his club.
[09:27] * Doc tosses the revolver to him.
[09:28] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart catches the revolver and stows it in an empty holster on his shoulder. He smiles at Doc.
[09:28] * Lelantus pulls out his Machete, "I have a backup you know."
[09:30] * Doc returns the smile, before turning back to watch the others.
[09:30] * Efficacious_Disposition 'hmms', "...Why are you going to Flanklin, Lil' Antus?"
[09:31] * Tex nods to Lelantus. "Tex saw. Good have backup."
[09:31] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart pulls out a hoofful of bullets and reloads his gun, then slips it back into the holster.
[09:31] * Lelantus eye twitches, "Lelantus. Leeel. Not Lil." He puts his weapons away, "And hopefully to get payment for a job."
[09:32] <Efficacious_Disposition> "Oooh! Monsters. Did you find them? ..Was I there for that? I don't think I was."
[09:33] * Lelantus "It was supposed to be monsters, but it ended up being raiders. It's always bloody raiders."
[09:34] * Tex snorts. "Raider-pony dumb. Why no get along? Dumb."
[09:36] * Efficacious_Disposition nods, then stops, not really knowing what they're talking about,  "Raiders are ponies?"
[09:37] * Lelantus "Quite dumb. But I doubt they'd agree." He blinks at Efficacious_Disposition, "Most around here are ponies..."
[09:37] * Tex blinks at Efficacious_Disposition. "We just fight raiders..."
[09:39] * Efficacious_Disposition gasps, "Really? Those were raiders!?"
[09:40] * Lelantus face claws, "Yes."
[09:41] * Tex stares at Efficacious_Disposition for before nodding.
[09:44] * Efficacious_Disposition raises an eyebrow, and focuses back on the road. "I thought one of them was very nice. He was just scared."
[09:45] * Lelantus "So that changes... what exactly?"
[09:46] * Tex furrows his brow and cocks his head, not really understanding.
[09:48] <Efficacious_Disposition> "I don't know, but maybe that big pony was just a bully?"
[09:49] * Lelantus rolls his eyes, "Does it matter? If I hadn't of scared him he would have shot you just the same."
[09:51] * Tex grabs his canteen and takes a drink as he listens to Efficacious_Disposition and Lelantus' conversation... not that he understands.
[09:52] * Efficacious_Disposition shakes her head, "He definitely wouldn't have. We were practically friends already! He was just scared and confused."
[09:53] * Lelantus "Whatever kid, don't say I didn't try to warn you next time you try t make buddy-buddy with a raider."
[09:53] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart sits in the wagon, entirely unaware that he is being talked about
[09:56] * Efficacious_Disposition looks up, towards their destination. "Hey, don't the mountains look beautiful? They're so... tall! I wonder how many staircases it is to reach the top?"
[10:00] <Tex> "Effy-pony is silly-pony."
[10:01] * Lelantus "No staircases, and no way up."
[10:06] <Efficacious_Disposition> "So it's just like a rainbow, always out of reach. But they can still make you smile."
[10:07] * Lelantus "Everything makes you smile."
[10:11] <Tex> "Tex rather smile than frown."
[10:11] <Efficacious_Disposition> "No, not everything. But I can't think of anything else I'd rather do."
[10:15] <~IrrelevantGM> On the path ahead, in the distance, the walls of a town come into view. The walls are particularly tall or thick, but they look serviceable enough.
[10:17] * Efficacious_Disposition doesn't really know what she's looking at, unless there are a lot more ponies milling about in sight at that wall. She's never seen a town before.
[10:17] * Lelantus "And there's flankin. Lovely town, I suppose." He waves vaugely in the direction of the town
[10:20] <Lelantus> Flanklin?
[10:21] * Tex eyes the town as they approach it. "You no sound sure, Lel-griffin."
[10:21] <~IrrelevantGM> The gates of Flanklin are wide open, and the members of the caravan grow more talkative as they near the town. Several caravan guards seem to be planning to partake of the town's services, while the traders seem more excited about the prospects of making caps.
[10:22] * Doc looks at Tart. "What are you gonna do now?"
[10:22] * Lelantus "Positive Tex-bull."
[10:22] <Efficacious_Disposition> "This is the place? We're almost there? Thank you, Leeeelantus." She giggles.
[10:22] * Lelantus sighs at Efficacious_Disposition, "You don't need to say it like that... oh whatever, better than before."
[10:23] * Tex cocks his head at Lelantus, then shrugs before smirking at Efficacious_Disposition and chuckling.
[10:23] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart looks at Doc, then turns and looks at the town. He rattles a pouch hanging from the straps holding his holster, caps clinking inside, "I think I'll go find a nice stallion. You?"
[10:24] <~IrrelevantGM> As they get close, a big billboard-sized sign can be seen. It's mostly plain white, with 'Welcome to Flanklin' scrawled across it.
[10:25] * Doc chuckles. "Me? Well, I need work. I'm a doctor, and with this many ponies around, there's bound to be a few that need help. Might make a cap or two the other way too." She wiggles her flank some, giggling.
[10:26] * Efficacious_Disposition trots closer to the city, with a silent look of awe.
[10:26] * Tex can't read, so the sign is lost on him. He starts looking around as the near the city, though, to see what he can... see.
[10:27] * Lelantus sort of gets the feeling neither of them can read. He says to Effy, "You act like you've never seen a town before."
[10:30] <~IrrelevantGM> A few guards are standing around the gates, which are wide open. Just beyond the gate is what seems to be some sort of marketplace, with most of the shops catering to tourists with flashy signs and overpriced trinkets. A few more subdued, out-of-the way shops appear to be targeted at locals or more savy visitors. Beyond that are three large buildings with colorful signs welcoming vistors.
[10:30] <~IrrelevantGM> There seem to be residential areas in the back of the town. The caravan rolls to a stop at the gates and one of the town guards steps forward with a warm greeting, "Welcome to Flanklin! We hope you enjoy your visit!"
[10:30] * Efficacious_Disposition can certainly read, but that feeling isn't entirely misplaced either. "I haven't. I've seen photographs of them, and they looked so much nicer, but they didn't nearly look so real!"
[10:31] * Lelantus "Yeah, photographs rarely do." he looks around the town, just as he remembered. Now if only he could remember who he got the job from...
[10:32] * Efficacious_Disposition trots up to the guard. "Hello sir, we are in search of rainbows!"
[10:33] * Tex perks up a little when he spies the marketplace and starts scoping the area for a good place to sell those revolvers he got. He simply nods to the guard, then facepalms at Efficacious_Disposition.
[10:34] * Doc hops out of the wagon, nodding to the gaurds. "You coming Tart?"
[10:36] <~IrrelevantGM> The guard raises an eyebrow at Efficacious_Disposition, then smiles and points to one of the three large buildings, "Madam Kigeni has never yet failed to satisfy a customer's exotic tastes. I'm sure she could accomodate you." Lelantus was probably hired by the leader of the Flanklin's guards, one captain Stonewall. Sweet Tart smiles at Doc and nods, hopping out of the wagon beside him,
[10:36] <~IrrelevantGM> "Yeah. I've never actually been into town before... uh... 'cause this is my first time traveling out this way..."
[10:38] * Lelantus looks over at Efficacious_Disposition, "I need to go see to something, try not to... die." He flies off to find this Stonewall guy.
[10:38] * Doc nods to Tart, looking over at Efficacious_Disposition and Tex. "Let's find you a stallion then, mmm?"
[10:40] * Efficacious_Disposition nods to Lelantus, then turns back to the guard. "Oh, wonderful! I bet she makes the whole town smile on a good day?"
[10:42] <~IrrelevantGM> Stonewall is probably easiest found in the administration building, which is hidden away behind the brothels where travelers can't even see it on the way into town. Sweet Tart grins at Doc and does a full-body wiggle, nodding eagerly, "Yeah, let's!" He heads into town. The guard smirks and nods at Efficacious_Disposition, "Oh yeah... she's good at making ponies smile." Another guard finds
[10:42] <~IrrelevantGM> herself staring at Tex, blinking a few times before forcing a smile and saying, "Well hello. You're certainly a big... uh... you're certainly big! But I'm sure we can... accomodate your needs."
[10:43] * Tex looks to the guard. "Tex need sell guns. And work."
[10:43] * Doc nods to Tart, trotting after the stallion, looking around the town.
[10:45] * Lelantus makes his way to the administration building. He figures that with all the pastal coloured pony-whores Effy should be able to ride the rainbow for enough caps. He enters the administration building.
[10:46] * Efficacious_Disposition starts trotting into town, "Tex, I'm going to meet Madam Kigeni, do you want to come? Maybe we'll find work there."
[10:47] * Tex looks over at Efficacious_Disposition and nods. "Ok. Tex come. Who that?"
[10:48] * Efficacious_Disposition has exactly two caps, and only because you can't litter in the Stable, and she hadn't emptied her barding pockets yet.
[10:49] <~IrrelevantGM> Sweet Tart seems to be heading for the nearest of the brothels, tail swishing happily as he says to Doc, "What about you? Gonna find yourself a stallion?" The guards look a little bit relieved to learn that Tex isn't looking to buy services, smiling and waving as the minotaur follows Efficacious_Disposition into town, saying in a friendly way, "Trader? Good luck finding work!" Once at the
[10:49] <~IrrelevantGM> administration building Lelantus will find himself faced with a bored-looking secretary who asks, "What's your business?"
[10:50] <Efficacious_Disposition> "She brings rainbows. Maybe not really, but if she can't find you work, then they wouldn't be speaking so highly about her!"
[10:50] * Lelantus looks at the secretary, "I had a job from Stonewall, I need to speak with him."
[10:50] * Doc shakes her head. "Nahh, I prefer mares myself, though I don't mind a good stallion once in awhile. Besides, I have a grand total of 7 caps on me. Not enough to do much of anything with, even if I was looking to."
[10:54] * Tex stares at Efficacious_Disposition for a long moment. She was obsessed with rainbows! He shrugs, then nods. "Where she?"
[10:54] <~IrrelevantGM> The secretary looks up at Lelantus, then nods down the hallway, "Third door on the right. Knock before entering." Sweet Tart shrugs at Doc, "Well, try to enjoy yourself anyway. Thanks for not giving me away to that caravan..." he puts a hoof on the door to one of the brothels, preparing to step inside. Efficacious_Disposition and Tex have reached the door to Madam Kigeni's place by now, a
[10:54] <~IrrelevantGM> sign overhead welcoming them inside.
[10:55] * Lelantus heads to the third door on the right, and knocks.
[10:55] * Doc nods. "I will, gotta make a cap somehow, don't I. Good luck to you."
[10:56] * Efficacious_Disposition leads Tex into Madam Kigeni's building. She has a giddy smile, "Helllllooo~? We have searched high, and we have searched low, and we have searched high again, because that's where rainbows go~!"
[10:56] <Tex> "Effy-pony is silly-pony." He gets the feeling he's going to be saying that a lot.
[11:01] <~IrrelevantGM> A voice calls to Lelantus, "Come in." Once the door is opened it will reveal a slate gray earth pony with a dark blue mane sitting behind a desk. Various weapons are mounted on the wall beside him, all of them looking as if they've seen some use. Sweet Tart waves to Doc then disappears inside. When Efficacious_Disposition and Tex enter Madam Kigeni's building, they are treated to a delightful,
[11:01] <~IrrelevantGM> fruity aroma. Various people lounge around the main room. Ponies of all colors and sizes, zebras, mules, and griffins. Some are tattooed, others have numerous piercings. Most are wearing a minimal amount of clothing, just enough to make an onlooker curious about the parts they can't see. When the pair enters a particularly graceful zebra mare, her styled mane framing a smiling face, trots
[11:01] <~IrrelevantGM> up to them and speaks with a heavy accent, "Welcome to Madam Kigeni's. I am Madam Kigeni. What exotic tastes do you seek to have fulfilled?"
[11:02] * Doc smiles, turning from the brothel and trotting down the street, looking for one building in particular, the clinic.
[11:03] * Efficacious_Disposition smiles brightly at Madam Kigeni. "My friend here is looking for work, and I am here to help."
[11:03] * Lelantus waves a wing at the pony, "I checked out the disturbance. No monsters, but there was a fair few raiders. I killed some, but most ran off when a carvaan and some guards provided backup."
[11:08] <~IrrelevantGM> The clinic is out of the way and makes little effort to draw attention to itself, but Doc can find it with a few minutes searching. Stonewall looks up at Lelantus and frowns, "Raiders? Hateful bastards..." he sighs, "Still, I suppose you did well considering you were hired to hunt down monsters, not ponies, even if the threat was not removed. How does..." he pauses to think, "Forty caps
[11:08] <~IrrelevantGM> sound?" Madam Kigeni blinks and trots a circle around Efficacious_Disposition and Tex, "Looking to help out, hmmm... well, I'm afraid I have plenty of unicorns already... not that you aren't a pretty young thing, miss." She looks up at Tex, "Can't say I have any idea what you are... very exotic, though..."
[11:09] * Doc trots up to the clinic, rapping on the door with a hoof.
[11:09] * Tex pounds his chest with a fist and grins. "Tex minotaur!"
[11:11] * Lelantus raises an eyebrow, "Fourty caps? Thats it? Alright... I'll take it. What happens if I say, hunt down the raider base and finish them off. How much would you be willing to offer?"
[11:12] * Efficacious_Disposition grins at Tex, then turns back to Madam Kigeni, "He's a two-horned unicorn, basically! Oh, and I can cast healing spells. Is that rare? It's rare, isn't it? If Tex is rare, and he was impressed, then it's rare."
[11:14] <~IrrelevantGM> Stonewall raises an eyebrow at Lelantus, "Forty caps for leaving an active threat near my town? You shouldn't complain... and if you manage to finish off the raider band, I'll add in an additional one hundred caps." The clinic door opens for Doc, and inside are a number of ponies, several of them wearing scrubs. A secretary smiles at Doc, "Hello, are you in need of medical attention?" Madam
[11:14] <~IrrelevantGM> Kigeni sighs and shakes her head at Tex, "Exotic... but far too big. You'd break my clientele..."
[11:15] * Doc titls her fedora up. "No, I'm looking for work, actually."
[11:16] * Tex shake his head at Madam Kigeni. "Tex no smash. Only smash bad people."
[11:16] * Lelantus raises an eyebrow, "One hundred caps? Maybe I'll look for an employer who isn't trying to rip me off instead. That'd be barely enough to pay for my losses."
[11:17] <Efficacious_Disposition> "Break your clien.. tele..? Yes. Of course. And that's exactly what you want. He wouldn't be Ol' Tex if he didn't! You should have seen how much relief he put on the faces of the caravan we traveled with? Enough to be worth a chance, surely."
[11:19] * Tex looks to Efficacious_Disposition blankly, having no idea what she is talking about.
[11:21] <~IrrelevantGM> Madam Kigeni tilts her head at Efficacious_Disposition, "... maybe Mistress Whipcrack's House of Pain would be a better establishment to employ your friend..." Stonewall just chuckles at Lelantus, "Not enough? I can push it up to 200 if you bring me their leader alive. I'd like a talk with him..." The secretary in the clinic smiles and empty smile at Doc, "I'm sorry, we aren't currently
[11:21] <~IrrelevantGM> hiring."
[11:22] <Doc> "I'm sure there's something you can use me for though. Need any medical supplies?"
[11:23] * Lelantus "I think I can work with that." He waits for his caps to be given to him, then leaves
[11:24] * Efficacious_Disposition shakes her head. "I was -told- that you bring smiles, and rainbows. Right here is the place we want to be. A pony so wonderfully famous has to have a job for us~?"
[11:26] * Tex thinks it sounds like Efficacious_Disposition is doing a pretty good job at attempting to get them work, so he just keeps his mouth shut.
[11:27] <~IrrelevantGM> Stonewall opens up a drawer in his desk, pulling out an old strongbox and unlocking it. He quickly counts out forty caps and slides them over to Lelantus. Back in the clinic the secretary smiles at Doc, "Oh, do you have some medical supplies to trade? We can probably use a few of the basics." Madam Kigeni sighs and shakes her head at Efficacious_Disposition, "If I give you two a job, can
[11:27] <~IrrelevantGM> I get back to my own work?"
[11:29] <Doc> "I have... 2 rolls of bandages."
[11:30] <Doc> "I was wondering, actually, if there were ones you need, that I could go out and get for you."
[11:30] * Efficacious_Disposition gives a brisk nod. "Absolutely. If we can bring a smile to the face of Madam Rainbow, we'll be riding on pride for weeks."
[11:31] * Lelantus takes his caps and leaves... then he goes to find a trader that can sell crossbow bolts!
[11:37] <~IrrelevantGM> The secretary smiles at Doc, "We have use for most basic medical supplies here. And it's true that not many traders carry those in bulk up this road. Bandages, potions, radaway, med-x... we can make use of it all and will pay good caps for it." Lelantus will have little trouble finding traders, but it takes him a few minutes of searching to find one that sells serviceable crossbow bolts.
[11:37] <~IrrelevantGM> Madam Kigeni facehoofs at Efficacious_Disposition, "My name is Madam Kigeni. Not Rainbow... anyway, a job, yes. Uhm... one moment." She steps into a backroom and, after a few moments of searching about, returns with a sealed envelope, "This letter is from one of my mares, to her sister Happy Trails, a caravaner operating out of Neighgaton. Please deliver it for me. Payment will be fifty
[11:37] <~IrrelevantGM> caps now, fifty more on delivery. And it is a private family letter, so do not open it."
[11:39] * Doc nods. "Right, so, how much for a roll of bandages? I need to buy some ammo for my revolver."
[11:40] * Doc doesn't say that.
[11:41] * Doc actually says "How much is 'good'?"
[11:44] * Efficacious_Disposition smiles, and gives a slow and respectful nod. "Thank you for your consideration, Madam Kigeni. We will bring smiles out to Neighgaton, and when their lives grow brighter, they'll ask why, and we'll utter your name."
[11:46] <~IrrelevantGM> Madam Kigeni hoofs the letter to Efficacious_Disposition, along with a small pile of caps, "Yes, of course. Tell them to come and visit any time." She makes a shooing motion towards the door. In the clinic, the secretary smiles at Doc, "Well, for those bandages, we could pay six caps each." The trader sells Lelantus 17 crossbow bolts for 34 caps, smiling happily at finally offloading ammo
[11:46] <~IrrelevantGM> for such a rare weapon.
[11:47] * Doc nods slowly. "Right... I think I'll hold onto them for now, actually."
[11:47] * Tex nods to Madam Kigeni before trotting out of the brothel. Once outside, he smiles at Efficacious_Disposition. "Effy-pony did good."
[11:48] * Lelantus huzzahs and finally has ammo! Now he'll show whats what to who knows who. "Do you happen to have any of them healing potions?"
[11:49] <Doc> "Though, I'll defintely stop back when I have more."
[11:50] <~IrrelevantGM> The secretary smiles at Doc, "We hope to do business with you in the future!" The trader grins at Lelantus, leaning closer and speaking low, "The town's been a bit low on medical supplies lately. But I do have a few potions... for the right price."
[11:51] * Efficacious_Disposition nods to Tex, puts the letter in her saddle bag, and trots out of the building with them. She smiles at Tex, then scratches her head, "Where's Neighgaton? Oh, oh-! And she paid us caps. Was she supposed to pay us caps? I mean, I'm never one to say happiness isn't enough, but she could have just paid us nothing?"
[11:51] * Lelantus doesn't know why they're whispering, but whispers back, "Er, whats that price?"
[11:52] * Doc nods. "Right, name's Doc, by the way."
[11:52] * Tex blinks at Efficacious_Disposition. "That not how job works. You do job. They pay caps. That how it works. Tex can has his part?"
[11:52] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader smiles charmingly at Lelantus, "Oh, nothing too terrible. Just 55 caps apiece." The secretary smiles at Doc, "Thank you for stopping by, Doc."
[11:53] * Lelantus blinks, "Uh... I'll give you 42."
[11:54] * Doc nods, turning away from the door and trotting into the street again. "Well, looks like I'll need to make caps the other way." She mutters, tilting her fedora and lowering her glasses.
[11:55] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader raises an eyebrow at Lelantus, "I ask for a 10% markup, and you counter with a 16% discount? I'm not sure who taught you to haggle, missy, but they taught you poorly."
[11:55] <~IrrelevantGM> *mister
[11:56] * Lelantus stares at the trader as he talks about math, "Uh... what. Whatever. Want to buy a varmint rifle and some ammo, premium condition."
[11:56] * Efficacious_Disposition gives Tex 30 of the 50 caps. "So everypony out here collects caps? They're like the old hoofball cards in the Stable? Here, this is mostly your job, so they're mostly your caps."
[11:57] * Tex takes the caps from Efficacious_Disposition and blinks. "You not know caps? What you mean out here? Stable?"
[11:59] * Efficacious_Disposition nods, "I'm a Stable pony, Tex. I lived underground, until I didn't anymore."
[11:59] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader smiles at Lelantus, "A rifle? Premium condition? Let me have a look..."
[11:59] * Tex changes Efficacious_Disposition's keyboard from French Mode. "Tex no understand... you diggy-pony?"
[12:00] * Lelantus takes out the rifle and shows it off, "Comes with six bullets."
[12:01] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader frowns at the rifle that Lelantus pulls out, "This isn't exactly premium condition..."
[12:03] * Lelantus raises an eyebrow, "Are you kidding me? This is a great condition rifle!"
[12:03] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader shakes his head at Lelantus, "The condition is good, but far from premium. It won't be much longer until wear and tear starts lowering its effectiveness."
[12:04] * Efficacious_Disposition shakes her head in response to Tex, "No. Stable 91. We sealed ourselves up from the bombs a long time ago, and lived happily under the ground. I mean, there were no rainbows, so it's not happy like up here is happy!"
[12:04] * Lelantus rolls his eyes, "Wow, you are the pickest trader I've ever met, well are you going to offer a price?"
[12:05] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader rolls his eyes at Lelantus, "I can do 180 caps for the rifle. And three for the ammo."
[12:06] * Lelantus "I'll take it... and a couple healing potions."
[12:07] * Tex blinks a few times at Efficacious_Disposition. "Ok." He looks around. "Tex need sell guns..." He pulls the two revolvers that he'd gotten from the fight out of his bags. "Maybe find toolkit."
[12:09] * Efficacious_Disposition leads Tex towards what may have looked like a market to her. "C'mon, Tex. With my winning smile to butter them up, and your.. being huge, we'll trot away with everything we need!"
[12:09] * Doc is trotting through the streets, flank swaying, looking around.
[12:10] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader blinks at Lelantus, "So that's two healing potions and 73 caps for the rifle and bullets, right?"
[12:10] * Tex nods to Efficacious_Disposition and follows after her, guns still in his hands.
[12:12] * Lelantus is bad at math, Uh, Yea."
[12:12] <Lelantus> "Uh, yea."
[12:12] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader smiles and nods, "Deal." He sets a pair of potions out and starts counting caps.
[12:14] * Efficacious_Disposition looks for some some merchant-like place with guns out in the open. Sell guns at gun store, she's not too dumb to miss that concept.
[12:18] <~IrrelevantGM> Efficacious_Disposition and Tex probably find the same trader Lelantus was just dealing with.
[12:18] * Tex nods to the trader and holds up the two pistols. "Tex want sell these."
[12:19] * Lelantus has probably not left, "Hey you two, I have a job for you." He says to those two
[12:19] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader inspects the pistols and smiles, "Hmmm... I can give you 85 caps for the pair."
[12:20] * Tex looks from the trader to the pistols and back. "
[12:21] <Tex> "92." DAMMIT DUST OFF
[12:22] * Efficacious_Disposition raises an eyebrow at Tex, "You know, there are plenty of other traders around here. If you can't get a flat 100, somepony else will."
[12:22] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader stares flatly at Tex, "80."
[12:23] * Tex snorts at the trader and nods before handing the pistols over. He then looks at Lelantus. "Job?"
[12:24] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader grins and hoofs over 80 caps to Tex.
[12:25] * Doc continues to wander, wondering where that griffon, minotaur, and pony from earlier had gone.
[12:25] * Efficacious_Disposition looks to Lelantus as well. "We have a job too. Do you want to work together? We can be a team!"
[12:26] * Lelantus says to Tex, "Well you know those raiders from before, if we take them out completely and bring the raider to the guard here we can get a colelctive 200 caps, plus any salvage. And raiders will have plenty to sell."
[12:26] * Doc goes looking for said group.
[12:28] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader sits back and starts cleaning up his new purchases.
[12:30] * Tex rubs his chin with a hand before nodding to Lelantus. "Raider need smashed so not smash good people. Sound good to Tex. Tex and Effy-pony need take letter to Neighaton."
[12:31] <Efficacious_Disposition> "Sure, as long as we don't kill them unless we need to. The angry, mean-looking ones sure, whatever."
[12:32] * Doc continues to wander around, looking for the group from earlier.
[12:33] * Lelantus says to Tex, "Tell you what, since this job shouldn't take more than a day, if you help me with this and bring their leader back, I'll escourt you guys down to neighaton, I know the area, and can help you defend yourselfs." He nods at Effy, "They're raiders, they've been disrupting and hurting ponies. But if some want to surrender their weapons and armour and run I guess we can
[12:33] * Lelantus allow it. Their leader comes with us though."
[12:33] * Doc isn't having any luck finding them, somehow.
[12:35] * Doc decides to just wait near the gate.
[12:35] * Tex nods and extends a hand toward Lelantus. "Tex think this sound good."
[12:36] * Efficacious_Disposition nods to Lelantus. "I like that. As long as you promise. Cross your heart, hope to die, radroach poke you in the eye~"
[12:37] * Lelantus goes to shake Tex's hand, "Good. For the sake of simplicity lets split any profit from the loot three ways." He blinks at Effy, "Uh, sure. Cross my heard hope to die, somethingsomething radroach."
[12:38] * Tex shakes Lelantus... claw? Wing? Whatever. "Tex agree." He looks to Efficacious_Disposition.
[12:38] * Efficacious_Disposition giggles, and nods. "You know, I like you guys. The rainbow lead exactly where I needed to go."
[12:39] * Lelantus claw, he shakes hands with his claw, duh. "Yeah, magic rainbows... Oh!" He turns to the trader, "I need some rope."
[12:40] <Doc> "Oi! I've been looking for you!"
[12:41] * Lelantus "My don't-give-a-fuck-o-meter is off the charts, pegasus."
[12:42] * Tex blinks at Doc. "Why you look for Tex?"
[12:42] * Doc ignores the comment. "You know where I can find work, the clinic's low as hell on medical supplies, and I don't have any caps to get any for them."
[12:42] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader smiles at Lelantus again, pulling out a fifty foot length of rope, "Rope? Five caps."
[12:43] * Efficacious_Disposition maintains her grin, and just doesn't look at Doc at all. She hums quietly to herself.
[12:44] * Lelantus hoofs over the caps and takes the rope. He says to Doc, "Only job I know is mine, and you don't have a gun so you can't join."
[12:44] <Doc> "That's because I gave it to somepony who needed it more than I did."
[12:46] <Doc> "All I can offer you is my medical training, which, if it involves guns, you'll probably need. I'll just snag a gun from one of the raiders, too, if you don't mind me 'stealing'."
[12:46] * Lelantus "Your selfless sacrifice doesn't make you useful, and why should I trust your medical training. Do you have any supplies?"
[12:47] <Doc> "As a matter of fact I do."
[12:48] * Lelantus "How much, and what makes you more useful than Ms Magic Medic?"
[12:49] * Efficacious_Disposition says that to herself, "..Miss ...Magic ..Medic. That's three M's. Clever!"
[12:49] * Doc adjusts her glasses. "Couple rolls of bandages. And experience. I've been around for awhile, not to mention, well, a little smarter than Ms. Unicorn over there."
[12:49] * Tex furrows his brow and rubs his chin before asking Doc, "Who you give gun to?"
[12:49] * Doc looks to Tex. "Mister Sweet Tart."
[12:50] <Tex> "Tex don't know who that is."
[12:50] * Efficacious_Disposition snorts, and raises an eyebrow. "I could say I'm smarter than you too. I'm smarter than you. See? Easy."
[12:51] * Doc raises an eyebrow. "Yeahhhh, sure."
[12:51] * Lelantus "I have healing potions, and Ms Unicorn has magic. So all you have to offer is experience? That nobody can verify. Right. Sorry, you're on your own, I'm not rich enough to throw caps at you for nothing. And Effy is smart enough to keep her weapon, I'm thinking she's smarter than you."
[12:52] * Doc shrugs. "Understandable."
[12:52] <Doc> "Have fun dying and stuff."
[12:52] * Lelantus "Have fun being completely broke with absolutely no prospects and being forced to sell your body for food."
[12:54] <Doc> "You wouldn't know charity if it came up and ripped your wings off. Have a nice day Mister Griffon."
[12:54] * Efficacious_Disposition is getting far too affected by the situation, "Al-alright, stop! It does nopony any good to insult each other. You two should apologize to each other, please."
[12:55] * Lelantus raises an eyebrow, "This is the wasteland, and I'm not a fucking charity. If you can get a gun, or prove you wouldn't be a drain on resources I can let you, but since you can't prove it, you're out." He looks over at Effy, "Oh come on, I'm not apologizing."
[12:55] * Doc sighs. Not like it would do anything anyways. "Sorry."
[12:56] <Doc> "And how am I supposed to prove anything, if you won't let me have a chance to prove anything?"
[12:56] <Doc> "Think about that for a second."
[12:57] * Tex snorts, shakes his head, and sighs. He looks to Lelantus, then to Doc, then to the trader, then back to the pegasus. Then then then!
[12:58] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader just shrugs at Tex. He scoots a bit away from Lelantus and Doc.
[12:58] * Lelantus "Here's the thing, It's not my job to help you prove /shit/. If you want in on the job, you have to prove it here and now, I'm not bringing you along unless you can convince me, and asking for charity is a bad way to convince me."
[12:58] * Efficacious_Disposition huffs, "There is no reason for this, and it's making us all unhappy. We should be friends. I'm not happy with what happened back there, but I can get over it. I don't want to be the only one trying here."
[12:59] * Lelantus looks over at Efficacious_Disposition, "It's not about grudges or friendship or anything. The fact of the matter is she wants in on the job, she wants part of the money, but she can't prove she'd be useful."
[12:59] * Doc sighs. "Do you want to know why I gave my gun away? Do you?"
[01:00] * Lelantus "Do you think that changes anything? I don't care."
[01:01] <Doc> "Yeah, I bet you don't care about a lot of things, just the money. That's all griffons care about, money."
[01:01] <Doc> "Tell me, Mister Griffon, how old are you?"
[01:03] * Lelantus narrows his eyes, "Racism ain't helping. And I'm sixteen."
[01:03] * Efficacious_Disposition frowns. "Nope. No insults. You can't work with us if you can't.. even work with us."
[01:03] * Tex grumbles softly at Doc. "You not even give name."
[01:04] * Doc looks at Tex. "The name's Doc. That's it, just Doc."
[01:04] <Doc> "My, apologies for my behavior, but I would like to make one thing clear."
[01:05] * Lelantus looks at Effy, and looks back at Doc, "And for Effys sake, I /apologize/ for insulting you. Not that it changes my position."
[01:05] * Tex keeps looking at Doc, but remains silent.
[01:05] * Efficacious_Disposition looks at Lelantus, "Wow, you're only sixteen? That's why you're all cute, kiddo." She giggles.
[01:06] * Lelantus blushes slightly and looks back at Effy, "W-what. I'm not a kid! Oh... whatever. How old are you suppose to be?"
[01:07] <Doc> "It doesn't matter if I can prove it or not, but what I do is help ponies. It doesn't matter who they are, but if possible, I do try to help them. It may not seem like it, but I do. I gave my gun to that pony because he was scared, and by doing that, I helped him not be so scared anymore."
[01:08] <Efficacious_Disposition> "I'm 19. If I was any younger, I wouldn't have been so prepared for the outside~" She pats her sun hat.
[01:08] <Doc> "There, now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find a corner to work to get enough caps for a Luna-damned gun."
[01:09] * Lelantus shrugs at Doc, "And you should feel morally superior in every way, but that still doesn't change the fact that you aren't useful to the job. If you can find a gun before we leave, then I'll think about it, but until then I'm not wasting caps on you." He says over to Efficacious_Disposition, "You're hardly older than me... and, nice hat?"
[01:10] * Tex sighs at Doc, then turns to the trader. "Tex want gun back."
[01:11] * Efficacious_Disposition smiles at Lelantus. "Thank you." She turns to Doc, with a suggestion. "You should ask Madam Kigeni for work. She'll give you just the job you need."
[01:11] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader blinks at Tex, "You want the gun back? That'll be fifty caps."
[01:12] <Doc> "Yeah, I figured she would."
[01:13] * Tex nods to the trader, then looks at Doc. "Tex give you gun. You owe Tex sixty caps. Plus what Tex spend on boolits."
[01:13] * Doc nods. "Right, right."
[01:14] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader smiles, sliding the gun towards Tex, "Bullets are two for a cap. How many you want?"
[01:14] * Tex holds out a hand to Doc.
[01:15] * Efficacious_Disposition nods. "Well, this solves the issue right here. You should still go see Madam Kigeni, though. It's really worth it."
[01:15] * Doc shakes the hand.
[01:15] * Lelantus "There, you have a gun, so you can come with us." He only really says this to make sure Tex gets paid back. He didn't want an unhappy minotaur travelling buddy. "But please try to kill things, and don't give it away this time."
[01:16] <Tex> "You cross Tex, Tex smash." He says to Doc, then hands over 62 caps to the trader. "Two dozen boolits."
[01:16] * Doc looks over at Efficacious_Disposition. "I would, but despite contrary belief, I'm not overly fond of being screwed every night if I can avoid it."
[01:17] * Efficacious_Disposition looks to the others, then back at Doc, "And we have a promise. No killing anypony who drops their weapons and runs."
[01:17] <~IrrelevantGM> The trader hoofs over the gun and two dozen rounds of ammo for it. He smiles as he puts away his caps.
[01:17] * Tex takes the gun and ammo and holds it out to Doc.
[01:18] <Doc> "I gave my gun to that same pony, actually. The one who ran." She takes the gun, smiling at Tex. "Thank you Mister Tex."
[01:19] * Tex nods to Doc. "You welcome. You owe Tex 72 caps."
[01:19] * Lelantus narrows his eyes, "You gave your gun to a fucking raider... and now they're /inside/ the town, armed? By all the gods, you... you... I need to warn the guards."
[01:19] <Efficacious_Disposition> "If he was really a raider, than that wasn't very smart. Even if he's a good pony raider."
[01:19] <Doc> "He was /scared/, terrified."
[01:20] <Doc> "And, actually really fucking nice."
[01:20] * Tex pokes Doc.
[01:20] <Efficacious_Disposition> "Well.. it's true. We were almost friends."
[01:21] * Doc looks over at Tex. "Hmm?"
[01:21] * Lelantus faceclaws, "I... don't... I'm still warning the guards, and if this raider friend of yours kills anyone, I hope you and your morals can accept that."
[01:21] * Tex says to Doc again, "You owe Tex 72 caps."
[01:21] * Doc nods. "Noted. You'll have them as soon as I get them."
[01:22] * Tex nods to Doc.
[01:22] * Doc glares at Lelantus. "I'm not telling you what he looks like or where he went."
[01:22] * Efficacious_Disposition raises an eyebrow, "Miss Doc, I need to hear a promise..?"
[01:23] * Doc looks to Efficacious_Disposition. "Kid, out here, promises are broken so often they've lost all meaning, but for what it's worth, I promise."
[01:25] * Efficacious_Disposition nods. "They have meaning here, because it's your split of the pay."
[01:26] * Lelantus says to Doc, "He shot at me, I know what he fucking looks like."
[01:26] <Doc> "Actually, it's my split plus 27 more caps, 7 which I have."
[01:26] <Doc> "He /ran/, he didn't shoot at anyone."
[01:27] * Lelantus "He /shot/ at me, dropped his gun, then ran."
[01:27] * Lelantus "I know, I was there."
[01:27] <Doc> "Yeah, he was scared. I don't think he meant to shoot at you, honestly."
[01:27] <Efficacious_Disposition> "I think he shot at me, but he didn't mean to."
[01:28] * Lelantus "Doesn't matter who he meant to shot, he's still a raider, and I'm going to warn the guards."
[01:29] <Doc> "Yeah, and sign his death warrant. Well fucking done."
[01:30] <Doc> "All I ask, is that you give him a chance. /One/ chance, to turn his life around."
[01:30] <Doc> "If he screws up, I'll kill him myself."
[01:30] * Lelantus narrows his eyes, "You go on about morality and charity, and you're trying to stop me from warning the guards a raider is loose in their town? I'm sorry, but no, you make no sense. I'm not going to give him a chance. If he screws up SOMEONE FUCKING DIES, that's not worth it."
[01:30] * Efficacious_Disposition nodnods, "Can you just tell the guards that he's a dangerous hoolagin or something?"
[01:31] <Doc> "HE'S NOT A FUCKING RAIDER!"
[01:31] * Tex frowns and puts a hand on the hilt of his club.
[01:32] * Lelantus takes a deep breath, "He was with a raiding squad, pointed a gun at Effy, and tried to /shoot/ me. I don't care what you think, I'm warning the guards." He looks at Efficacious_Disposition, "Fine, I'll do that, but they're going to keep an eye on him."
[01:33] * Doc pants slightly, nodding. "Thanks."
[01:33] * Tex shakes his head and removes his hand from his weapon.
[01:33] <~IrrelevantGM> A good few of the ponies in the near area are now looking at Doc and Lelantus with mild interest.
[01:34] * Doc seemed to give 0 fucks about this.
[01:34] * Lelantus points a claw at Doc, "But you need to learn some common sense. I'll be back." He flies off to find Stonewall
[01:35] <~IrrelevantGM> Stonewall is still in his office.
[01:35] <Doc> "10 year of running from the Encalve gave me all the common sense I needed." She mutters, sitting down.
[01:35] * Efficacious_Disposition tilts her head. "You can fly."
[01:36] <Doc> "Flying, running, whatever. That's the reason they want to kill me, because I can fly, and I'm not one of them."
