Session Clue: It's only dinner!

[2013-12-09 18:34:19] <CrystalDM> 03====FOE Crystal Group: Clue's Date====
[2013-12-09 18:44:41] <CrystalDM> 03The food isn't impressive by any stretch, but its hot. Mashed potatoes, some beans and bread with roasted apples. Feather Fall mentions she has some spices to improve the taste back in her quarters, and leads you back down into the building... into the basement. At the end of the basement... is an open Stable Door. The entrance room into the Stable is painted in pink and yellow, and...
[2013-12-09 18:44:41] <CrystalDM> ...hanging on a wall is a picture of Fluttershy as head of the Ministry of Peace. The text on the poster is 'We can do better! Join the Ministry of Peace today!' It has a picture of Fluttershy and her animals healing injured ponies.
[2013-12-09 19:04:48] * Clue looks around in awe. "You live /in/ the stable?"
[2013-12-09 19:17:48] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall shakes her head. "Well, I sleep here... but I don't really live in the Stable. Everyone sleeps in the Stable. You ever wonder why, when the bombs fell, unicorns didn't just teleport inside the Stables?" Feather Fall continues walking, heading down the hall and following the signs that indicate the direction of the dorms. The walls are pink and the floors are yellow, and more...
[2013-12-09 19:17:48] <CrystalDM> ...Fluttershy posters are on the walls.
[2013-12-09 19:20:45] * Clue puts a hoof to her chin. "...I thought it was cause they didn't all know teleport... or could see inside... I don't know how teleport works..." Clue continues to follow Feather Fall, "what's with all the yellow?..."
[2013-12-09 19:44:20] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall shrugs. "This Stable was meant to research new forms of medicine, medical treatments, spells... anything that could help others. It was sponsored by the Ministry of Peace." Feather Fall takes a right, and heads for the Mare's dorms. "StableTec decided to paint the walls in her colors. As for teleportation... no magic get's through a Stable's walls. Not even Sombras, apparently."
[2013-12-09 19:46:55] * Clue blinks. "I never knew that..." CLue follows silently for a bit before opening her mouth to speak again, "the bedrooms are split?..."
[2013-12-09 19:54:25] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall smiles. "Oh... they were... but not anymore..." Feather unlocks a door... the room lighting up as the door opens. The room is a pleasant blue, and has two beds. "Originally it was one bed per room... but now we all share rooms so we can sleep in the Stable and avoid the nightmares."
[2013-12-09 19:57:27] * Clue raises an eyebrow. "I don't have nightmares..." Clue says as she examines the room.
[2013-12-09 19:59:32] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall raises an eyebrow for a moment before pulling out a trunk from under her bed. "Oh? How do you pull that off?"
[2013-12-09 20:01:12] * Clue shrugs. "I don't know, just... I don't..." she says looking around. "Quite a... vivid room you have..."
[2013-12-09 20:03:50] <CrystalDM> 03The mare giggles. "Oh, trust me, I know. StableTec wasn't stupid... they painted the rooms different colors than the general hallways. Prevent ponies from going insane." The room doesn't have any posters, and no nightstands. Seems rather spartan, really... just a trunk on the end of each bed, and a bed. Feather Fall opens up the trunk she pulled out from under the bed and starts going...
[2013-12-09 20:03:50] <CrystalDM> ...through it. "So... any spices you like?"
[2013-12-09 20:05:10] * Clue moves her mouth from side to side. "Cinnamon?..."
[2013-12-09 20:06:14] * CrystalDM digs through her trunk and shakes her head. "Sorry... I don't have any. Any others?"
[2013-12-09 20:06:21] <CrystalDM> ((^Feather Fall))
[2013-12-09 20:08:45] * Clue looks rather depressed. "Oh.... umm... cilantro?"
[2013-12-09 20:09:45] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall digs through the trunk and pulls out a small jar. "Yup! Now that I have! Do you know how to prep it?"
[2013-12-09 20:16:10] <Clue> "Not so much... it's usually added to the side or ground up no?", Clue answers quietly.
[2013-12-09 20:18:34] <CrystalDM> 03Feather nods and takes some out. "Mhm. Its not fresh, so it isn't the strongest stuff if you want to add it directly. Still works as a garnish, though." Feather takes out some of the cilantro, a cutting board, and a knife, and starts to prep it. "So... you're from Crystal Crossing, right? What's it like out there?"
[2013-12-09 20:21:36] * Clue walks around the room quietly observing all she can. "It's ok... I don't hang around town much... not that I wouldn't like to but..." Clue pauses. "...not a lot of friends and all... besides... I'm usually out on missions..."
[2013-12-09 20:24:47] <CrystalDM> 03"What missions do you go out on?" Feather finishes cutting up the dried cilantro and puts the spices in a pile before she puts the pile in a bowl, takes out a pestle, and starts grinding it.
[2013-12-09 20:28:26] * Clue examines the beds. "...recon usually... scouting out areas for certain things or making sure it's safe to explore by others..."
[2013-12-09 20:29:07] <CrystalDM> 03The mare finishes grinding the spices and offers the bowl to Clue. "Do you ever see anything cool? Anything noteworthy?"
[2013-12-09 20:34:56] * Clue frowns. "...just a corruption spire in my leg a few days ago... otherwise not really..." Clue takes the bowl and looks into it. "...so we put this on our food now?"
[2013-12-09 20:38:49] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall grins. "Mhm. Like salt, or pepper. Though, I wouldn't suggest it on the apples." The crystal mare pulls out a small salt shaker and sprinkles it over her food. She lifts it in her telekinesis and sits nice and close next to Clue. "If you don't mind talking about it, I'd love to hear the story."
[2013-12-09 20:46:52] * Clue dumps all the spice on her food in a big mass. "Fuck..." Clue curses as she mushes the potatoes together to mix the spice in. "Not much to tell really...
[2013-12-09 20:48:17] <Clue> ...recon for Crystal Crossing, got ambushed by some Geckos, and they put a spire through my leg..." Clue picks up some food and starts to nibble. "The gang I'm with now were the ones who saved me..."
[2013-12-09 20:48:59] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall starts to eat slowly. "Oh... well, at least you get to be with your friends, right?"
[2013-12-09 20:55:33] * Clue stops eating for the moment. "...I guess so... I really just met a few of them at that incident..." She moves her mouth from side to side. "...never really hanged out with them besides now... I gues I could call them friends..."
[2013-12-09 21:00:15] <CrystalDM> 03The mare continues to eat her food as she listens. "Why not? I mean, Captain Blitz is a princess... Militus isn't bad looking, and Tallie must be a great prankster so long as you don't actually trip up and face plant into her past...and Asami is such a cute little dragoness!" The mare claps her hooves together.
[2013-12-09 21:07:55] * Clue takes another bite of her food. "Emerald Blitz is kinda... stern... sometimes in a bad way... All Militus talks about how awesome death would be... Tallie is more trouble some than funny.. and Asamie argues with Em..."
[2013-12-09 21:10:56] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall keeps eating. "Wow... um... " The mare is at a loss for words at that.
[2013-12-09 21:12:30] * Clue frowns. "First impressions can be decieving..."
[2013-12-09 21:23:05] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods. "I... guess?" The mare continues eating in silence, seeming to be at a loss for words.
[2013-12-09 21:30:01] * Clue continues to nibble on her food slowly. "Do you have lots of friends?..." Clue looks to her with a curious expression.
[2013-12-09 21:35:55] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall shakes her head. "A few, not many. A couple scribes and a couple Paladins I would consider friends... though I know pretty much everyone. The up and downside of living here."
[2013-12-09 21:37:00] * Clue nibbles on her food even slower. "...must be nice having a lot of fiends," Clue mumbles.
[2013-12-09 21:41:47] <CrystalDM> 03The crystal mare smiles over to Clue. "I'm sure a cutie like yourself can have lots of friends... I can show you around, introduce you if you like."
[2013-12-09 21:43:49] * Clue thinks for a moment. "You could if you want, but I don't really see the point if I may or may not be back all too often..." Clue finishes off her meal. "..besides... I can't be friends with them all... not enough time... I'd rather just have a select few... make them feel appreciated..."
[2013-12-09 21:48:07] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall scoots over a little closer, her meal now finished. "Oh?"
[2013-12-09 21:49:49] * Clue nods slowly. "If I have lots of friends it's hard to distribute my time to spend with all of them. The fewer the better so each gets more time," Clue says calculatively.
[2013-12-09 21:51:04] <CrystalDM> 03The crystal mare scoots a little closer, almost to the point of touching Clue. "So... if I were to be your friend, I'd get to spend a lot of time with you, right?"
[2013-12-09 21:54:43] * Clue blinks and turns her  head to look Feather Fall face to face. "Uh... I suppose so..." She looks down at her plate. "...that's for the food..." Clue starts to blush.
[2013-12-09 22:02:19] <Clue> ((thanks*))
[2013-12-09 22:07:34] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall grins and nods. "No problem. You did agree to dinner." Feather Fall giggles. "So... what would you like to do now?"
[2013-12-09 22:09:41] * Clue eyes shimmer as blood rushes to her cheeks. "Well... ummm... I was kinda wondering... that is if you're ok with it.... I know we just met and all... but..." Her face turning more crimson.
[2013-12-09 22:11:37] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods to Clue. "Yes?"
[2013-12-09 22:14:38] * Clue speaks up not in her hushed tone. "Is it possible for you to teach me how to make a shield like you did when the raiders attacked?" Her face beams brightly in anticipation.
[2013-12-09 22:16:19] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall opens her mouth... and then starts giggling. "Yes I can. Has someone already taught you about defensive spells?"
[2013-12-09 22:18:12] * Clue shakes her head with a frown. "No... Just got me spells to see things better and a single imbuing spell..." She stops her thought proccess momentarily as her eyes fixate on nothing, looking straight ahead. "..but I don't have that one down yet," she says shaking her head.
[2013-12-09 22:19:21] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods. "Well, its getting pretty late. If your group doesn't mind, I can steal you away tomorrow and teach you about defensive magic."
[2013-12-09 22:20:01] * Clue has a quizzical look to her face. "Oh... it's going to take that long?..."
[2013-12-09 22:21:14] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods. "Well, it does take a while to learn it... much shorter than if you were learning from a book. Though..." The crystal mare's eyes glimmer with mischief. "What should I charge for teaching you?"
[2013-12-09 22:22:49] * Clue 's ears droop. "..oh... your charging me?... um... I just got a bunch of caps today... 100 sound good?..."
[2013-12-09 22:24:52] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall shakes her head. "No... no caps." The mare thinks for a moment. "I want to be your friend... but not just because I taught you some magic."
[2013-12-09 22:26:44] * Clue has her ears perk up. "Oh. Okay. You're my friend," Clue says with a smile. "Teachy now?"
[2013-12-09 22:28:28] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall tries to hold a frown... and fails miserably. "I don't think that's how it works, silly." The crystal mare sticks her tongue out at Clue.
[2013-12-09 22:31:18] * Clue moves her mouth to the side. "Why not?"
[2013-12-09 22:34:22] <CrystalDM> 03The crystal mare nods. "Call it your first lesson about defensive magic. It actually is based off of friendship... and some of it doesn't even work if you aren't friends with the person you cast it on... or they are friends with you. And it has to be close friends... if you aren't, the magic won't work."
[2013-12-09 22:39:41] * Clue has a surprised look. "Oh.... okay.." Clue raises a hoof to chin in thought. "I think I understand. I just need to spend that time with them then..."
[2013-12-09 23:01:32] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods. "Time is part of it. But...well, friendship is a funny thing. Its why I asked to be friends. I'd ask for something more, but..." The crystal mare blushes, her cheeks becoming faintly ruby-ish.
[2013-12-09 23:05:14] * Clue raises an eyebrow. "...you asked me to be friends for... something more?..." She looks at the floor as if trying to add things together.
[2013-12-09 23:13:36] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall blushes brighter. "No! No! I asked to be friends with you because your interesting and... well... defensive magic requires an understanding of friendship." Feather Fall shakes her head. "I'd like something more with you but... you are really really shy and I don't want to push you into something you aren't ready for." The crystal mare paws at the ground.
[2013-12-09 23:32:14] * Clue starts to blush. "...something I'm not ready for?..." She looks over Feather Fall. "Something more with me than caps for spells?..."
[2013-12-09 23:34:24] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall blushes even brighter. "Not for spells! No!" Feather Fall squirms in place.
[2013-12-09 23:41:06] * Clue observes Feather Fall with interest. "...what are you talking about then? There is not much more you can get from being frie-", Clue shuts her mouth instantly turning even brighter red herself.
[2013-12-09 23:44:30] <CrystalDM> 03Oh my. The room is being lit more from the two unicorns than from the interior lighting! "I'd like to... well.. actually be dating you. And I don't want it to be the price of spells or anything."
[2013-12-09 23:50:18] * Clue has turned from snow white to crimson, and has that all too familiar verbal spaghetti coming out of her mouth. "I... you... together..."
[2013-12-09 23:52:15] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods her head. "Yeah. But I didn't want to spring this on you now." Ruby mare is made of blush. Feather Fall bites her lower lip. "I... kinda wanted to spend more time with you first. Before asking you. Get to know you better."
[2013-12-09 23:57:47] * Clue moves a hoof to her breast. "...you want to spend time with... me? Just cause?..."
[2013-12-10 00:00:28] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall brightens. "Yeah! You're really cute and interesting."
[2013-12-10 00:03:21] * Clue begins to murmer. "M-m-m-me? C-cute?..." She looks around for words to grasp. "And you think I'm interseting?"
[2013-12-10 00:08:41] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods. "Yeah! You get to see so much out there."
[2013-12-10 00:11:14] * Clue scruches her face. "...but... no I don't... I've spent my time watching others and watching empty fields..."
[2013-12-10 00:16:58] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods in agreement. "Yeah... its better than seeing the inside of this building. And you get to go out and talk to everyone, they don't have to be a ranger or a stable dweller..." Feather Fall shakes her head. "But that's only part of it. The big thing is you want to help your comrades, and you don't like to see them fight. That's what makes you so interesting... so many...
[2013-12-10 00:16:58] <CrystalDM> ...Wastelanders would just let them argue."
[2013-12-10 00:22:24] * Clue shrugs slowly. "Fighting gets noone anywhere... it's just best to stick to helping each other as best you can..." Clue gets up and starts to walk around the room. "...I haven't been in a relationship before..." She says, making circles in the ground.
[2013-12-10 00:22:44] <Clue> With a hoof.*
[2013-12-10 00:28:05] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall plays with a curl of her mane. "I... I didn't want to spring this on you right away, I'm sorry. Emerald told me you were very shy, so I wanted to give you a chance to see if you liked me at all before I asked." The crystal mare stops playing with her mane and looks at Clue. "I'm sorry for springing this on you."
[2013-12-10 00:38:15] * Clue turns to look at Feather Fall. "...no don't be sorry... it's just..." Clue floats a lily out from her bags and her focus moves to it. It's starting to wilt. "...I don't know what to do... you are very nice... I like you... you seem to know how to take care of someone else..."
[2013-12-10 00:42:27] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall smiles sadly as she looks over at the lily. "But... there is another, isn't there."
[2013-12-10 00:48:55] * Clue lets out a deep sigh. "...sorta..." She looks over the lily. "...he was sorta nice and all... but..." her gaze turns to Feather Fall. "..but he may not know how to make me happy... I would be willing to make him happy.. but...  I at least think things aren't one way, right?" Clue says as she starts to slouch.
[2013-12-10 00:49:48] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall walks over and puts her left foreleg around Clue's shoulders. "You think things aren't one way?"
[2013-12-10 00:56:03] * Clue looks at Feather Fall. "Should love be one way? Don't both ponies have to love each other for it to work out?..." Her eyes are starting to wander.
[2013-12-10 01:01:40] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall shakes her head. "Well.. there is unrequited love. But... that's just it. Its unrequited. It never works out."
[2013-12-10 01:04:15] * Clue frowns. "...and that's not what I'm looking for... I want to make somepony happy, and I want to be happy with them..."
[2013-12-10 01:06:44] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall nods and smiles. "And that's what you should be looking for. Everyone deserves to be happy."
[2013-12-10 01:12:20] * Clue continues to twirl the lily. "..and what are /you/ looking for?"
[2013-12-10 01:23:09] <CrystalDM> 03It's Feather Fall's turn to create circles on the ground with a hoof. "Well... I want to hear about the outside world, more than what we hear about on the radios. I want to be with a mare or a stallion who makes me feel complete, ya know? But most of all... I want to be with a mare or stallion who is nice... kind." Feather Fall looks over at Clue as she says the last word.
[2013-12-10 01:30:33] * Clue puts a shouler on Feather Fall's shouler. "...why don't you see the world for yourself?"
[2013-12-10 01:34:01] <Clue> ((hoof on shoulder*))
[2013-12-10 01:34:32] <CrystalDM> 03"I have responsibilities here... I can't just drop everything. I mean, I'd be abandoning my family." Feather Fall looks at Clue and nods. "Listen... I'm not expecting you to stay here... or even stay true to me. I don't want your happiness tied here, with me, and force you to stay. But... I'd still like to date you."
[2013-12-10 01:36:41] * Clue starts that verbal spaghetti again. "...so... you'd be ok if it didn't work out?... I just... I don't know if I can do that to you?..." She hugs Feather Fall. "...I don't want to hurt you..."
[2013-12-10 01:40:06] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall smiles and nods. "That's the point of dating, Clue. Sometimes... sometimes it doesn't work out. It hurts... but if you do the relationship ends right, its the kind of hurt that comes from growing." Feather Fall leans into the hug, pulling Clue in nice and tight.
[2013-12-10 01:43:45] * Clue starts to cry. "...I can't hurt ponies by leaving them..." She leans her head on Feather Falls shoulder. "It hurts to much... I know it will..."
[2013-12-10 01:46:59] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall shakes her head. "Clue... I'm a Ranger. Every time we leave this base, we risk dieing and leaving our friends... our family..." Feather Fall leans down, gently kissing Clue on her head before saying "the people we care about. Even if this doesn't work out, you won't be leaving me. I'll always have you here" the crystal mare gently moves Clue's head so Clue is leaning against...
[2013-12-10 01:46:59] <CrystalDM> ...the mare's breast, her ear right next to her heart "in my heart. Do you know what that means?""
[2013-12-10 01:47:36] <CrystalDM> ((^Clue's ear))
[2013-12-10 01:48:59] * Clue sniffles, tears still flowing, only responding by shaking her head.
[2013-12-10 01:54:51] <CrystalDM> 03"The heart of a Crystal Pony is special. It holds the memories... the feelings of the individuals that the Crystal Pony spends time with, and reflects that out through the Crystal Pony. So, no matter what happens between us, if we do start dating... and we do love each other, your kindness... your friendship... who knows, your love? Will shine through and effects all the ponies I work...
[2013-12-10 01:54:51] <CrystalDM> ...with, ever Ranger and Stable Dweller in this base." Feather Fall nods and kisses Clue on the head again. "So, even if you have to go, or we break up... you'll never really be gone."
[2013-12-10 01:58:58] * Clue nuzzles against Feather Fall. "...ok... I'll date you..."
[2013-12-10 02:00:21] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall sighs with relief. "Thank you. So... what would you like to do? We have the rest of the night, if you like?"
[2013-12-10 02:03:46] * Clue 's tears stop. "...I... I don't know... I'm never really been in a relationship," Clue says with a smile on her face. "...cuddle?"
[2013-12-10 02:04:53] <CrystalDM> 03The crystal pony smiles and nuzzles Clue. "Yes... we can do that. Would you like to stay cuddling on the floor?"
[2013-12-10 02:06:59] * Clue giggles a little. "...I guess not... on the bed perhaps?... I guess..."
[2013-12-10 02:09:48] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall joins in to the giggling. "It is more comfortable... and my roommate won't be here tonight. She works nights." The crystal mare breaks from the cuddles and uses her telekinesis to close up the trunk of spices, sliding it back under the bed. She then slides back the covers, and climbs into the bed... leaving the covers at the hoof of the bed.
[2013-12-10 02:16:54] * Clue starts to blush profusly once again, crawling into the bed. "...I guess it is comfy..." She starts to move closer to Feather Fall again wrapping her hooves around her for cuddles.
[2013-12-10 02:17:42] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall pulls Clue in for cuddles, big spoon to little spoon. "Do you want some covers?"
[2013-12-10 02:19:05] * Clue nods but turns her head to give Feather Fall a kiss before re-engaging into the cuddle with a big smile.
[2013-12-10 02:20:15] <CrystalDM> 03Feather Fall's feathery telekinesis lifts the covers over herself and Clue, tucking the pair in before the crystal mare gently nuzzles the smaller mare on the neck.
[2013-12-10 02:24:21] * Clue wiggles a bit into the covers with Feather Fall cuddling her. "I like this dating thing," Clue says with a smile closing her eyes falling slowly asleep in the embrace of the mare.
[2013-12-10 02:24:56] <CrystalDM> 03And with that, we leave the young mares to a night of cuddles and peaceful dreams. Ah, young love...
[2013-12-10 02:25:06] <CrystalDM> 03====Clue's Date: Session End====
