  1. [2013-09-12 15:36:45] <Somber> 12The newcomers had arrived expecting work, profit, and a better future. Instead, they'd been greeted by violent explosions, tangled forests, and an everpresent mist. They'd managed to keep a young pegasus from flying to safety, and even convinced her to join them back to the camp... but it was clear that something had gone very wrong. The promise of work
  2. [2013-09-12 15:38:45] <Somber> 12had clearly been broken. They found an orientation set up in the old school gymnasium. One the told them how safe and orderly this was all going to be. Scrapyard had grinned, ear to ear, with his sincerity. Then the bulb on the projector burned out, leaving the six in the dark gym. Worse, night was coming soon, and the camp they'd been promised had
  3. [2013-09-12 15:39:14] <Somber> 12been denied them. Was there anywhere safe in this place?
  4. [2013-09-12 15:40:17] * Mad_Modd loots the broken projector for parts "Well that was informitive! I think we're all gunna die now."
  5. [2013-09-12 15:40:50] * Skyshine pales. "I thought you said if I came with you, we WEREN'T going to die!"
  6. [2013-09-12 15:41:35] * Red_Line keeps his attention out the door
  7. [2013-09-12 15:42:27] * Star_Chaser snorts in annoyance. "First order of business is food. There's a place across the street which should have something we can scavenge. Once we've got food and water, then we'll worry about making the gym as safe as possible I suppose."
  8. [2013-09-12 15:42:46] <Somber> 12The projector was fused old electronics and plastic. It was only good as a doorstop now.
  9. [2013-09-12 15:43:02] * Aria gives Sky Shine a reassuring smile. "We haven't died yet, and as long as I'm around, I'll make sure you'll be okay. I promise."
  10. [2013-09-12 15:43:43] * Mad_Modd blinks and gets right in Skyshine's face, looking deeply into her eyes before screaming "OH LUNA NO!!! It's the raider king! Run for your lives! I swear I didn't know he was just gunna shoot you!" beginning to run around in circles and scream like a scared filly
  11. [2013-09-12 15:44:53] * Skyshine widens her eyes and backs away from Mad Modd, laying her ears back as she hides behind Aria.
  12. [2013-09-12 15:45:07] * Tiller is still terribly annoyed by the sudden absence of pay. "Especially water. I was promised room and board, so I didn't pay for water to fill my canteen. It's empty. Did anypony see a rain barrel out there?"
  13. [2013-09-12 15:45:27] * Mad_Modd continues to panic
  14. [2013-09-12 15:45:54] * Aria pulls her 9-Iron and brandishes it. "Celestia damn it! What is your malfunction?"
  15. [2013-09-12 15:46:13] * Mad_Modd flails at Aria "EVERYTHING!"
  16. [2013-09-12 15:47:08] <Aria> "Calm down! You'll attract the red blips. I do not want to have to hit you with this!"
  17. [2013-09-12 15:48:08] * Star_Chaser eyetwitches at Modd's ongoing panic attack. "Great. Wonderful." She heads towards the door, looking to Red_Line. "If you're not going to break down too, what do you say to joining me in making a food run? If we're really, really lucky we might get eaten so we don't have to deal with this mess any more."
  18. [2013-09-12 15:49:12] * Red_Line mumbles under his breath "I whant them to come, so we can get some answers."
  19. [2013-09-12 15:49:39] * Red_Line nods
  20. [2013-09-12 15:49:59] <Red_Line> "Thats a goo idea."
  21. [2013-09-12 15:50:25] * Mad_Modd suddenly stops "Ok I'm good now."
  22. [2013-09-12 15:51:16] <Somber> 12From outside, across the street, came a loud and shrieking laughter, followed by several gunshots. "FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK! FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" bellowed somepony.
  23. [2013-09-12 15:51:59] * Aria swallows hard. "Well, looks like we know where more survivors are... and the bad guys..."
  24. [2013-09-12 15:52:07] * Mad_Modd takes out his grenade rifle "Maybe not. Should we go introduce ourselves?"
  25. [2013-09-12 15:52:12] * Star_Chaser looks out the door. She wasn't going to waste any time at that, rushing out the door and towards the far side of the street and the gunshots.
  26. [2013-09-12 15:52:39] * Red_Line follow Star_Chaser
  27. [2013-09-12 15:53:04] * Mad_Modd not wanting to miss on the fun "Wait for me!" following them out, ready for a fight
  28. [2013-09-12 15:53:45] * Skyshine looks concerned as the ponies run out the gym door. "Shouldn't we be running away? Or hiding?"
  29. [2013-09-12 15:53:48] * Aria turns to Skyshine and tips her visor. "Just stick behind me, you'll be safe. I know a shield spell."
  30. [2013-09-12 15:54:14] <Somber> 12Across the street was the Feeding Trough, a fast food restaurant promising family fare and good eating. Inside came the shouting and screaming and the occasional gunshots.
  31. [2013-09-12 15:55:09] * Skyshine sighs and follows. "Ok. Then I'll stay behind you. And... kick them gently if they get too close."
  32. [2013-09-12 15:55:11] * Star_Chaser moves towards the building quickly, taking the briefest moment to move up towards the front doors for others to follow before pushing them open and moving inside.
  33. [2013-09-12 15:55:23] * Tiller shrinks into the shadows with a look of mixed fear nervousness in his eyes.
  34. [2013-09-12 15:56:13] * Aria nods. "And kick them hard if their crazy killers, okay?"
  35. [2013-09-12 15:56:35] * Red_Line moves to the back of the Feeding Trough to look for a back door
  36. [2013-09-12 15:56:37] * Tiller sneaks out the door and tries to be very stealthy as he crosses to hunker against the wall of the restaurant and peer inside.
  37. [2013-09-12 15:56:41] * Mad_Modd kicks the door down! "Alright nopony move!"
  38. [2013-09-12 15:57:41] <Somber> 12There were four inside. Two mares and two stallions. One of the mares stared off into space. One was laughing her ass off. One stallion screamed over and over again. The last appeared to be playing with a switchblade in his mouth. "FUCK! FUCK! FUUUCK!" he screamed, looked straight in Modd's face and screamed, "FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCK!"
  39. [2013-09-12 15:59:19] * Aria rushes across the street, weapon drawn and Skyshine hopefully in tow, trying to go back up Mad_Modd and the others.
  40. [2013-09-12 15:59:25] * Mad_Modd calls over his shoulder "I don't think anyone's home here."
  41. [2013-09-12 16:01:40] * Star_Chaser growls slightly. "Madness is not a pretty sight. And it seems this place has more than its share."
  42. [2013-09-12 16:01:53] <Aria> "They're all red on the EFS."
  43. [2013-09-12 16:07:23] * Red_Line takes some swings at the pony with the swichblade and lands one
  44. [2013-09-12 16:08:26] * Star_Chaser keeps her eyes on the group. "Hold fire until they-" She was cut off by Red_Line's decision to start firing. "Nevermind." Clearly she was not dealing with well disciplined individuals here.
  45. [2013-09-12 16:14:27] * Star_Chaser wasn't going to wait around too long, lining up the rifle on her battle saddle with the switchblade wielding pony and firing two rounds quickly. "Don't attack the others unless they show hostility! They're clearly delusional!"
  46. [2013-09-12 16:15:40] <Somber> 12The others immediately displayed hostility.
  47. [2013-09-12 16:16:21] * Aria calls out, "They were all red on the EFS before we started attacking!"
  48. [2013-09-12 16:18:06] <Somber> 12Screamer leaps at Madd Modd, attempting to Tackle. The pony failed to get a good grip around Mad's neck, and so the earth pony attempted a kick... but again, failed to connect. He glared right in Madd's face and screamed "FUUUUUUUUCK!"
  49. [2013-09-12 16:20:24] * Red_Line grunts as he is staped
  50. [2013-09-12 16:20:42] <Somber> 12Switchblade, teeth gripping the handle of the knife tightly, jams it all the way to the haft into Redline's neck. His laughing around the handle, however, ruins his second two stab attempts.
  51. [2013-09-12 16:24:33] <Somber> 12Laffs continues to laugh as she reaches down and grabs a pool cue in her teeth and wacks Starchaser across the face with it, giggling all the while. The heavy end of the que smashes right into Star's temple.
  52. [2013-09-12 16:27:40] * Mad_Modd slappy hooves at Fuck! "What foul language! And get back! EEEEEEEHHHH!"
  53. [2013-09-12 16:29:40] <Somber> 12"FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK!" Screamer roared back.
  54. [2013-09-12 16:31:13] * Aria charges laugh, 9-Iron floating by her side as she takes a swing at the mare then a quick swipe to follow it up.
  55. [2013-09-12 16:33:10] <Somber> 12The hit landed with a solid thunk. "Owww! Hah ha hah! Owww... Heee hee hee! Fucking cunt! Hee ha ha ha!" the mare stammered around her pool cue.
  56. [2013-09-12 16:34:08] * Aria blinks at the mare after she stumbles out of the way of her second swing. "What are you on?"
  57. [2013-09-12 16:35:15] <Somber> 12"Hee hee hee! What the... hah hah... what the hell are YOU on?" she cackled as she slobbered around the pool cue shaft.
  58. [2013-09-12 16:42:33] * Tiller unholsters his pistol and leans across the window, carefully taking two shots at Switchblade.
  59. [2013-09-12 16:43:54] * Tiller 's 10mm pistol whuffs twice, missing the first time and striking home the second.
  60. [2013-09-12 16:45:04] <Somber> 12Switch Blade looks like he's near death. He also doesn't look like he's giving up.
  61. [2013-09-12 16:45:50] <Somber> 12The final mare watches the fight laconically before Screamer shouts, "Fucking Shoot! Fuck!" She blinks, sighs, and draws a pistol.
  62. [2013-09-12 16:47:49] <Somber> 12She seems to select a target at random and fires two shots at Star Chaser.
  63. [2013-09-12 16:48:08] * Skyshine looks at Switch Blade, knowing he should be dead, but isn't. Then there's gun drawing. She bolts back to the gym.
  64. [2013-09-12 16:48:36] * Red_Line yells at swichblade "You fucker, die."
  65. [2013-09-12 16:51:29] <Somber> 12Switchblade laughed, spraying bloody foam in Red Line's face.
  66. [2013-09-12 16:51:45] * Red_Line flails
  67. [2013-09-12 16:52:05] * Star_Chaser stumbled, her ears ringing from the hit. This was really not a good engagement at all. Messy, close in, indoors. All bad things from her perspective. She quickly leaped sideways and backed away from the madly laughing pony. "Dammit, dammit, dammit. This was supposed to be easy!" She fired off two quick rounds into the laughing pony to help Aria with her fight.
  68. [2013-09-12 16:54:40] <Somber> 12The blasts tear into her, charring her armor and igniting part of her mane on fire. She laughs in agony.
  69. [2013-09-12 16:57:16] <Somber> 12Switch blade sweeps his head back and forth, the third swing cutting a deep furrow with its razor sharp bade.
  70. [2013-09-12 16:59:49] <Somber> 12Laffs springs forward, flailing her head... but failing to connect. The last one sit there dully, sighing.
  71. [2013-09-12 17:02:23] * Aria brings her 9-Iron down on Laff's skull, crushing it like a melon, before charging Switchblade and swinging, missing by inches.
  72. [2013-09-12 17:03:17] <Somber> 12LAff collapses on her side, eyes going in two different directions as blood drips out her nose and ear, a divot in the side of her head. "Ha... ha.. aaaaaaaa...."
  73. [2013-09-12 17:04:35] * Mad_Modd continues slappy hooves with Screamer "EEEEHHHHHH!"
  74. [2013-09-12 17:07:02] * Tiller keeps firing at Switchblade.
  75. [2013-09-12 17:08:19] <Somber> 12"Shoot! Fucking shoot! Fucking shoot!" Screamer screams. The doleful mare gives a snort of annoyance and fires three rounds at Star Chaser.
  76. [2013-09-12 17:12:00] <Somber> 12Switchblade grimaces around the blade, his teeth clenching so hard one breaks before he falls, dying with an ear to ear grin.
  77. [2013-09-12 17:12:47] * Red_Line sighs from the pony dropping
  78. [2013-09-12 17:13:12] * Star_Chaser dances back and forth on her hooves as the bullets sail past her. She turns her attention towards the pony ineffectually attacking Modd. One round left in her gun, another shot, then time to reload.
  79. [2013-09-12 17:17:07] <Somber> 12Screamer is shot once. "FUCK!" And then continues to play slappy hooves. One blow solidly connects
  80. [2013-09-12 17:18:48] * Mad_Modd "OW! Stop that!" flailing harder at them
  81. [2013-09-12 17:20:02] <Somber> 12"FUCKING STOP FUCKING HITTING ME YOU FUCKING FUCK!" He roars back
  82. [2013-09-12 17:23:16] * Aria watches Red_Line's bullet drop Switchblade before turning and rushing up behind Screamer, planting her 9-Iron into the back of the mad pony's skull.
  83. [2013-09-12 17:23:40] * Tiller grits his teeth on the moulding of his pistol, and fires at Screamer.
  84. [2013-09-12 17:27:33] <Somber> 12"FUCK! FUCK! Fuck!" he yells as he's shot. He lunges at Mad Mod. "Fuck... fucking hurts... fuck... fuc...." and finally goes still. The mare with the pistol just sits there, waiting for him to scream to shoot.
  85. [2013-09-12 17:28:55] * Aria turns on the mare with the pistol, noticing her blip change from red to yellow and puts away her weapon. "Guys, she doesn't seem to want to fight anymore. She's reading yellow on my EFS."
  86. [2013-09-12 17:29:25] <Somber> 12She sits there, looking at the all rather disinterestedly.
  87. [2013-09-12 17:30:19] * Star_Chaser grumbles a moment and spits to one side. "Don't like this one bit. Killing ponies who don't even understand properly what's going on around them." She scowls. "Might have been salvageable if we hadn't gone in swinging and shooting without trying to find out more." She looks towards the remaining pony. "Probably only fought cus the loud one was yelling at her. Someone start
  88. [2013-09-12 17:30:20] * Star_Chaser checking if there's anything worth taking." She began digging in one of her bags for bandages for her head and bullet wound.
  89. [2013-09-12 17:30:58] * Tiller holsters his weapon. Spitting, he walks to the doorway and peers into the scene of carnage. "I... I... I've never... Never shot at a real pony before..." His eyes bulge, and he sprints for the ditch.
  90. [2013-09-12 17:31:02] * Red_Line moves over to Star_Chaser "Hold still."
  91. [2013-09-12 17:32:08] * Mad_Modd blinks "Well...... that escalated quickly...."
  92. [2013-09-12 17:32:44] <Somber> 12The loot was pretty meager. One switchblade, one pool cue, and three pairs of now very bloody leather barding. They had blue poker chips, one red, and one green on them, as well as seven bottle caps between all of them.
  93. [2013-09-12 17:33:07] * Red_Line works over her with his spell
  94. [2013-09-12 17:33:25] * Star_Chaser looks towards Red Line curiously. "Sure. Alright. Guess it's nice to have somepony around who knows how to do medicine other than me. Get so used to cleaning your own wounds, forget there are others that can do well." She snorts in some irritation. "Yeah, no surprise there. Busting down doors and attacking without worrying about why." She sighs quietly. "Nevermind. Can't
  95. [2013-09-12 17:33:26] * Star_Chaser change that now. Food is still the priority. Plus some of those chip things, and a chance to talk to the lazy pony over there." She looks towards the non-interested pony.
  96. [2013-09-12 17:33:39] * Aria looks around the room, turning on her Light Spell on her Pipbuck, before realizing Skyshine is gone. "Guys, I think Skyshine ran off to the gym. I'm going to go find her," she tells them before trotting back to the gym.
  97. [2013-09-12 17:33:58] * Mad_Modd trots up and takes the random mares gun away "You can have this back later"
  98. [2013-09-12 17:34:17] <Somber> 12"Kay," she replies as he relieves her of her 9mm pistol.
  99. [2013-09-12 17:34:54] * Tiller returns from the ditch, the spittle hanging from his lips a mute testament to the act of throwing up being thwarted by having an empty stomach... empty from throwing up already. "Right," he says raspily, "Anypony *huff* got a swig of water I can have? I seem to have *huff* lost the last one..."
  100. [2013-09-12 17:34:56] * Star_Chaser breathes a sigh of relief after the second cast. "Thanks. I'm fine now." She stands up and heads towards the mare. "What in tartarus happened around here?"
  101. [2013-09-12 17:35:37] * Red_Line now looks over Mad_Modd
  102. [2013-09-12 17:36:24] * Tiller looks around. "No? Okay, fine... I'll get my own." He fills his canteen and gulps down some water. Too much water. Too much cold water on an empty stomach.
  103. [2013-09-12 17:36:25] * Red_Line shrugs "It would be a waste.
  104. [2013-09-12 17:36:30] * Mad_Modd has a bruise
  105. [2013-09-12 17:36:34] * Tiller falls over, clutching his cramping guts.
  106. [2013-09-12 17:36:47] * Mad_Modd stuffs the pistol in his pack
  107. [2013-09-12 17:37:37] * Red_Line works him self over with his magic
  108. [2013-09-12 17:41:40] * Tiller groans. That water was really foul, and now he feels weak. "What... *urp* what was in that water...?" He yanks the lid off the top of the rain barrel.
  109. [2013-09-12 17:42:08] <Red_Line> "Oh well."
  110. [2013-09-12 17:42:39] * Red_Line works over Mad_Modd with his spell
  111. [2013-09-12 17:42:43] * Mad_Modd sits infront of the mare "Can you tell us why your friends were crazy?"
  112. [2013-09-12 17:43:03] <Somber> 12"I dunno," she said with a shrug.
  113. [2013-09-12 17:43:06] * Red_Line looks for food
  114. [2013-09-12 17:43:28] <Somber> 12There was no food. Clearly, this place had been one if the first scavenged being right across from the camp.
  115. [2013-09-12 17:43:33] * Tiller peers into the rain barrel. His eyes bulge. "Oh goddesses... somepony /shat/ in this!" He runs back to the now depressingly familiar ditch and hurls. Again.
  116. [2013-09-12 17:44:27] * Star_Chaser grumbles about the lack of food, shaking her head. "We may have to resort to those vending machines after all." She snorts in irritation. "Don't like this one bit. Something bad happened here. Not just 'attacked by wildlife' or 'ambushed by raiders' bad, either."
  117. [2013-09-12 17:44:32] * Mad_Modd ignores Tiller "Do you know when this all started?"
  118. [2013-09-12 17:45:15] <Somber> 12"I dunno," she said with another disinterested shrug.
  119. [2013-09-12 17:45:33] * Mad_Modd sighs "Do you know your name?"
  120. [2013-09-12 17:45:46] * Red_Line looks at Tiller with some concern
  121. [2013-09-12 17:45:57] <Somber> 12"Roadflare," she answered.
  122. [2013-09-12 17:46:14] * Tiller returns, shaking, from the ditch. He's hollow-eyed and haggard, and today is not going anything /remotely/ like he thought it would.
  123. [2013-09-12 17:46:26] * Mad_Modd smiles at finally getting an answer "And how long have you been here?"
  124. [2013-09-12 17:47:16] <Somber> 12"I dunno," she said, with another shrug. Finally she sighs. "Got here a week ago. Told that guy there wasn't food here but he just yelled at me to shut up."
  125. [2013-09-12 17:47:46] * Red_Line starts to drag the bodies out side
  126. [2013-09-12 17:48:11] * Star_Chaser frowns, looking to the mare. "And this place was like... Well, like this, even then?" She scowls. If that was true, then this was much worse than she thought.
  127. [2013-09-12 17:48:41] * Tiller sits down unsteadily in a decrepit booth and stares vacantly at the wall.
  128. [2013-09-12 17:49:22] <Somber> 12"No. Wasn't bad at all. I mean, this place wasn't untouched. Folks had been here before. But it hadn't been stripped." She gave another bored shrug. "I dunno. I don't really care."
  129. [2013-09-12 17:49:25] * Mad_Modd ponders this "Was it like this when you got here?"
  130. [2013-09-12 17:51:00] * Tiller asks the wall, "Can you remember the last time you had a strong feeling?"
  131. [2013-09-12 17:51:24] * Red_Line begins using his sword break up the ground, thin using is magic to bury the bodies
  132. [2013-09-12 17:51:58] <Somber> 12"I dunno." she shrugged.
  133. [2013-09-12 17:52:14] * Star_Chaser sighs quietly and shakes her head, moving over to Tiller. "Sorry this turned out so badly for you. Seems like we're all in shit shape right now." She scowls again. "We'd better head back to the Gym. Figure out what we're going to do next." She looks to the nonchelant mare. "Bring her along if she'll come. I don't want to abandon someone out here."
  134. [2013-09-12 17:53:20] * Mad_Modd "What would you do if I told you to lick Swa.... Aria?"
  135. [2013-09-12 17:53:46] <Somber> 12She just shrugged.
  136. [2013-09-12 17:54:23] * Tiller "When was the last time you ate or drank something?"
  137. [2013-09-12 17:55:04] <Somber> 12"I dunno." she replied. "This morning?"
  138. [2013-09-12 17:56:10] * Tiller sighs. "What was it?"
  139. [2013-09-12 17:57:12] <Somber> 12"Water from a water barrel."
  140. [2013-09-12 17:57:42] * Tiller gets up and goes outside.
  141. [2013-09-12 17:58:25] * Star_Chaser face-hoofs as Tiller goes outside AGAIN. "Ugh. This is getting us nowhere in a hurry. Let's get back to the gym. Make sure the others are alright." She heads out the door and back towards the Gym through the mist.
  142. [2013-09-12 17:59:40] * Tiller is standing, looking forlornly into a ditch when Star_Chaser gets outside.
  143. [2013-09-12 18:00:39] <Red_Line> /me finishes with his work with the bodies
  144. [2013-09-12 18:00:45] * Red_Line finishes with his work with the bodies
  145. [2013-09-12 18:00:59] * Mad_Modd sighs "Why don't you come with us?" offering to help her up
  146. [2013-09-12 18:01:51] * Tiller looks around. Maybe there's other rain barrels?
  147. [2013-09-12 18:05:10] <Somber> 12She just shrugs and stands, looking at him just as disinterestedly as before.
  148. [2013-09-12 18:05:25] * Red_Line trotts over to the others
  149. [2013-09-12 18:05:49] * Star_Chaser continues on back to the Gym to check on the others who went ahead.
  150. [2013-09-12 18:06:28] <Somber> 12The gym is dark, but it is secure... unless someponies want to try to break down the door to the school again.
  151. [2013-09-12 18:06:41] <Somber> 12There's the sound of talking in the locker room.
  152. [2013-09-12 18:06:53] * Trillium Skyshine sits shaking underneath a tarp.
  153. [2013-09-12 18:07:23] * Star_Chaser moves towards the locker room cautiously. Two of the others had come back first, probably them talking.
  154. [2013-09-12 18:07:31] * Mad_Modd has the mare get down, readying his rifle once again "We got company."
  155. [2013-09-12 18:08:42] <Somber> 12She just sits there, just like at the fast food joint.
  156. [2013-09-12 18:11:55] * Aria is sitting with Skyskine, talking to her softly and wiping a tear from the pegasus' cheek.
