03[17:00] * Now talking in #DragonQuest
03[17:08] * Kibu is now known as Kidogo_Kito
03[17:09] * Yoshiphone (AndChat1544@Pony-se1jma.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #DragonQuest
03[17:10] * Wacky_Theorem is now known as Shaky_Bridges
14[17:15] <No_One> 3 The last time on Dragon quest Shaky_Bridges and Kidogo_Kito decided to go on one of those rare stealth adventures into the the heart of Gazeebo where they had been locked out of for mysterious. When last we left our intrepid adventurers they were making final preperations for their stealth incursion into the town.
[17:17] <Yoshiphone> It was almost even five mysterious.
14[17:17] <No_One> reasons
14[17:17] <No_One> go back to hawaii nerd
07[17:17] * Kidogo_Kito looks towards Shaky fidgeting her wings a bit, "are you ready? I am not sure I will ever be. But the curiousity is killing me."
07[17:21] * @Shaky_Bridges tightens her saddlebags and armour up a bit, she hasn't gone upwards since... accidentally crystal ball jumping? Something like that. But now she's all set, and she gives a nod to Kidogo_Kito. "All set! Well... how we want to do this? I guess you should stay hidden when we're in there, but me... I could probably wander around and chat with ponies. I'm not so different-looking. Heck, the town...
07[17:21] * @Shaky_Bridges ...we just came from had a pony looking exactly like me~"
07[17:27] * Kidogo_Kito furrows her brow a bit and then nods, "that is true, you would be able to blend right in. But we have to get in first. I could use the rooftops to try and follow you. Otherwise I suppose I could stay in the air, though I would think that I would not be able to find out very much from up there." She tilts her head a bit and then nods towards Gazeebeo, "say... do you remember seeing
07[17:27] * Kidogo_Kito any griffins in Gazeebo?"
07[17:34] * @Shaky_Bridges looks off over at Gazeebo, and squints her eyes. "Griffons... well, I haven't seen many griffons at all in our travels, so probably not. Keep an eye out for fliers though, and... yeah. You can scout around, try to hear and see things you shouldn't. I'll do the whole chit-chat thing." She starts for the walls, "My grappling hooks are all set, but I wouldn't turn down a short flight~"
14[17:35] <No_One> 3 The walls are there, waiting, though they're less walls and more series of buildings in an impentrable circle around the Gazeebo plaza
07[17:39] * Kidogo_Kito frowns a bit, "I was thinking that I might try and hide my hind end, and walk beside you, but you are right, I cannot really remember many griffins about. There was that cute tom that we met back in Lanthini who was spying at us here. But other than him, I cannot think of another." She smiles a bit and hunkers down, so that Shaky can climb up, "why not?" She waits for the mare to
07[17:39] * Kidogo_Kito climb up then makes for the air, where she will attempt to stealthily approach the series of buildings that form the makshift wall to Gazeebo.
07[17:43] * @Shaky_Bridges climbs atop Kidogo_Kito, "If you've got a nice long dress, or something that'll do, I could never turn down you trotting beside me~! At the very least, until we pick out a direction you can scout, hey?" She holds on tight. Though maybe she's a whole lot lighter once they take to the air? How does that basketball crystal work?
14[17:45] <No_One> 3 The crystal works on magic, either way Kidogo_Kito can take to the air towards the nearest building, she can roll a sneak at +20
14[17:48] <No_One> 3 Kidogo_Kito can make it into the city, but find that the plaza around gazeebo is completely empty. The buildings all around have some mlights shinning through the windows, but it seems nobody is interested in actually going outside.
07[17:51] * Kidogo_Kito snorts softly, "I left the dress back at the cave, I did not think that it would be much help on this adventure. It is a shame that it would help here. I suppose we could maybe peek around for something to improvise with." She flap flap flaps her wings to get airborne with Shaky and makes her way towards Gazeebo all sneaky like. She takes a quick look for someplace she could let
07[17:51] * Kidogo_Kito Shaky down so that she could slip in and mingle.
07[17:54] * Kidogo_Kito still looks for someplace to settle down, though with it being a ghost town inside that sort of puts a damper on some things, doesn't it?
07[17:54] * @Shaky_Bridges whispers to Kidogo_Kito, "Okay. Looks like we're doing the scouting thing first. I mean, unless I go knocking on doors?" She blinks, and looks around for... windows into a bigger building? Like a building in the middle of town? "Maybe leaving your dress was the right call? Actually, I don't know, there's rarely a good reason to not have a good dress on hoof~! I mean, unless we're gonna buy...
07[17:54] * @Shaky_Bridges ...you a new one. Let's go with that~"
14[17:57] <No_One> 3 The only place that seems to be lively is the Gazeebo in the middle of town which is used as the towns like, legislature place? It is essentially a giant gazeebo slopes downwards and can fit like a few hundred people inside, it's open to walk up to and there are voices coming from it, the loud angry sort of voices
07[17:59] * @Shaky_Bridges intends to get closer to the gazebo, close enough to hear. She'd trot right in, but she wants to see how close they can get without being 'the only people mysteriously late for an important town meeting'.
07[18:02] * Kidogo_Kito tilts her head a bit, "perhapse we could try flying across the empty and land on top of the gazeebo... I wonder if they would hear were we to." She sniffs a bit and looks around for anything other than the Gazeebo that looks to be of interest... what were they all angry about anyway?
14[18:04] <No_One> 3 There are a few guards near the two gates, but beyond that there is not much else. if we're looking for interesting things in the near abandoned town the only other thing of itnerest would be the Fortune Teller's shop which is still where the group left it all those sessions ago
07[18:09] * @Shaky_Bridges nods to Kidogo_Kito, "If they're all inside there, it'd be a good idea. Let's do that!" She glances around, and... the Fortune Teller shop is hard to miss, so she points that out, "And... they're involved. We need to get there and hear what's up, and then I'd like a look in old FT's place.."
07[18:11] * Kidogo_Kito hangs around for Shaky's reply, then she gets it, yay. She tilts her head a bit and then nods towards the mare and then hunkers down to carry her again. She then takes the short flight to the gazeebo in the middle of the settlement, again trying to be stealthy while she does it, looking for a suitable place to land out of sight on top of the building, then figure out how to get in
07[18:11] * Kidogo_Kito once there.
14[18:16] <No_One> 3 Kidogo_Kito will need to roll another sneak at +20, as the last time they went to gazeebo the top floor of the Gazeebo was reinforced and used as a data collection and monitoring point where Wither collated all the information it gathered on it's citizens. There was a locked door at the end of makeshift stairs to go in, as they did before.
14[18:20] <No_One> 3 The group makes it onto the roof, the voices are louder here but there's also like two floors below, they can tell the arguing is in regards to some island, but they will need to roll per at +1 for more details
07[18:20] * Kidogo_Kito makes her way to the rooftop entrance once she manages to land all sneaky like then does her thing. She mutters softly "well, one step closer..."
14[18:22] <No_One> 3 Kidogo_Kito attempts to lockpick the lock but it goes SNAP and now the door is jammed, which is not good. Kidogo_Kito can try to unjam it with another lockpick roll at -30. And the group appears to be somewhat deaf. As per ususal.
07[18:23] * @Shaky_Bridges climbs off Kidogo_Kito's back. She slowly approaches the door, and... she can't hear much of whatever. She's looking around for cameras or anything. This work is harder if they're on camera. "How's the door? Looks like the sort of situation that leads to swearing~"
14[18:25] <No_One> 3 There's no cameras on the roof itself, but from experience Shaky_Bridges can assume there are plenty of hidden cameras just above everywhere in the town proper
07[18:26] * Kidogo_Kito snorts softly towards Shaky, answering in a whisper, "it is close, I hope I can still open it though..."
14[18:27] <No_One> 3 Somehow Kidogo_Kito is able to unfree the jam, oh there was a cap in there no wonder it got jammed! The security centre is now free to open. There is most definetly cameras in there.
07[18:31] * Kidogo_Kito lets out a ittle note when the lock clicks and she gets a cap... well now. "Thank goodness... I was worried we would have to have try and find another way in and down. I do not know about you but I still cannot understand what they are saying."
07[18:33] * @Shaky_Bridges watches Kidogo_Kito work. "Sometimes you have to just embrace swearing. Probably not so much on a stealth mission though. Good job, Kito!" She points at a camera. "Err... should we even be heading in here? I suppose we could get all the information we need, but... this is tricky." She inspects the cameras from the distance... are they on obvious swivels, or otherwise subject to physical...
07[18:33] * @Shaky_Bridges ...tampering with what direction they could be pointing?
14[18:35] <No_One> 3 There seems to be a few on swivels, but from experience Shaky_Bridges knows all of Wither has hidden cameras and microphones literally everywhere, so that just because those are the only cameras she sees doesn't mean they're the only ones that exist.
07[18:36] * Kidogo_Kito furrows her brow a bit and then looks back to Shaky, "why not? Can we not get to the lower levels from here?" She furrows her brow a bit and then snorts, "how do they expect people to get in here if not?" She then waves a hand towards Shaky, "and I will consider it, but it may not be in Equestrian."
14[18:37] <No_One> 3 There are stairs that lead to the ground, but they are on the outside of the gazebo
07[18:38] * @Shaky_Bridges clears her throat, and taps Kidogo_Kito on the shoulder. "If we use this, we'll be caught on camera. But this is the heart of security footage, so I can't imagine how they'd catch us until afterwards. Sooo... do you want to try on an airship uniform?"
07[18:43] * Kidogo_Kito tilts her head a bit and then shrugs towards Shaky. "If it works... sure." She tilts her head a bit, "I suppose it could work to be dressed differently while on camera." She shrugs again, "the alternative is going in the front door, is it not?"
07[18:46] * @Shaky_Bridges shrugs to Kidogo_Kito, "Walk in on people and hope things go well, or put on a little acting show in front of cameras?" She pulls out an airship uniform + hat for Kidogo_Kito, and the captain's dress uniform for herself. "Put on a silly voice, and be prepared to fly us both away from here, if things don't go as planned~"
07[18:50] * Kidogo_Kito takes the uniform from Shaky, "this sounds as good as any plan I can think of." She goes about getting herself into the uniform offered by her friend, taking a moment to make some wing holes, it'd be hard to fly back out without them, ya know. She furrows a brow for a moment and thinks about how to throw her voice. She grins a bit and then looks towards Shaky again, throwing a
07[18:50] * Kidogo_Kito decent southern drawl, "how's this, then? Think it'd be enough to fool some folk? You hear it all over, yeah?"
07[18:56] * @Shaky_Bridges puts on her outfit. She smiles at Kidogo_Kito, "Hah." She speaks with a commanding flambouyance! It's sort of not realistic at all. "It does not matter, cubfilly! 'Tis all in good fun!" And she steps into the room, and struts towards the computers/monitors/etc. She's hoping cameras are just cameras, not some alarm system. "Here we are. Come assist. We are needed to secure the entirety of...
07[18:56] * @Shaky_Bridges ...'this place', wherever this place is!"
14[18:57] <No_One> 3 there are a series of screens and monitors set up seemingly by town, each town with it;s only little database of information. As well there is a central hub of citizen information, where one could find out information about specific ponies as the group did before to learn the Fortune Teller's real name as well as learn about Mazy Tales
07[19:00] * Kidogo_Kito follows Shaky into the room looking around, "it's sort of surprizing to see so much of this stuff still working out here in the middle of nowhere." She looks towards her 'co' and gives a quick nod, "yeah sure, boss." She didn't know much about anything so she lets the mare take the lead while she just sort of gawked at stuff."
07[19:04] * @Shaky_Bridges heads for the one relating to the town they're in: Gazebo. From there, she tries to tune into what's currently going on below them. "Keep an eye out for treacherous villainy. Who knows what they mean to accomplish amidst greater shadow!" She tips her hat, trying to keep it snugly covering... as much of her face from camera as could accomplish.
07[19:07] * Kidogo_Kito snorts again and then drawls again, "shoot, alright... villainy, I can keep an eye out fer that." She shakes her head a bit and then looks at the monitors, trying to find the ones that might show the access to the room they were in.
14[19:09] <No_One> 3 The inside of the Gazeebo room has a series of screen playing video across town, each screen switching what it is watching every few seconds. The screen flip between long shots of the plaza, inside people's homes where they are eating dinner, some guards playing cards, the inside of the gazeebo itself where a mass of ponies are discussing something loudly, inside the security rooms, oh hi Kito! and various other snapshots. However it seems that to get into the controls of these playbacks they'd need to unlock the terminal, which is a base hacking majigger
03[19:11] * AndChat|154496 (AndChat1544@Pony-nl5obs.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #DragonQuest
07[19:12] * @Shaky_Bridges connects her emotiony chip thing, and then very quickly swaps on her smartypants beret. "Right hat for the job, I do say!" Now she tries to hack.
02[19:12] * Yoshiphone (AndChat1544@Pony-se1jma.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
14[19:12] <No_One> 3 The Chip gives +5 to roll, it wants to be helpful!
03[19:14] * Yoshiphone (AndChat1544@Pony-ftk5hv.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #DragonQuest
14[19:15] <No_One> 3 Shaky_Bridges is able to access the terminal, from here she can choose which displays play what, and can adjust volume levels. She can also access historical data from the past week, if she so choosed
07[19:15] * Kidogo_Kito waves for the camera when she sees herself, "well lookat that, I'm on the screen...wait, that's not good is it?" play dumb, that usually works, right?
02[19:17] * AndChat|154496 (AndChat1544@Pony-nl5obs.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
02[19:18] * Yoshiphone (AndChat1544@Pony-ftk5hv.pools.spcsdns.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
07[19:19] * @Shaky_Bridges laughs, "Hah. Haha hah. It's not terrible, pretty girl!" And she puts up the stuff below them on a screen, with volume enough to hear. On another screen, she finds recent(today's) camera footage on Fortune Teller's shop, and puts it on fast-forward, so she can CSI who's come and gone from there today. She's watching for the Fortune Teller himself.
03[19:20] * Yoshiphone (AndChat1544@Pony-se1jma.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #DragonQuest
[19:22] <Yoshiphone> Meanwhile Dragon is busy seeing if he can get Panya to let him give her belly rubs.  It's more for calming him than for her. Her giving him belly rubs is also acceptable.
14[19:23] <No_One> 3 There is no camera directly on Fortune Teller's shop, or inside, but there is a plaza view at a fair distance that shows it. Froma  distance it seems to be fairly quiet, a few pony include a guard seem to try to go in, but find it locked. Meanwhil,e the metting starts to play over a screen. "If we leave our self open we could face an attack. Eye Glow is looking for a common enemy to unite against, and they believe we are harbouring fugitive slaves." Another voice ships in sarcastically ""Believe"". Another pony replies to the first comment, "Eye Glow wouldn't dare, but there wont be a city to protect if we don't act. We all saw, they are getting free."
14[19:23] <No_One> 3 Panya will roll on her belly for belly rubs, she sees no reason why not, it seemed like fun!
07[19:28] * @Shaky_Bridges keeps her eye on the shop, while listening to the talk. "It appears that war is on the horizon. War and battle, harrumph." She's putting on the extra cheese.
14[19:35] <No_One> 3 The talking continues, "I don't see why it's any of our business, let someone else take care of-" "We have a moral responsibility, we put them there." "None were alive when those creaturers were chained, and even if we were it was for the good of Caledonia." Another voice chips in, "And we were under duress." A final voice says, "All this being true, when those creatures break their chains, the Wasteland from here to Equestria willbe blanketed under an eternal winter. Someone must needs to something."
07[19:40] * @Shaky_Bridges snorts, "'Must needs' indeed!" She blinks, watching the screens, then furrows her brow. Shaky brings up any of the cameras she can find inside of Whinnyland.
14[19:41] <No_One> 3 There is decidedly no cameras inside whinnyland, and no amount of searching will provide one. What happens in Whinnyland, stays in whinnyland
14[19:45] <No_One> 3 The talking also keeps going, "So what then we travel all the wya to the lost isle and what? Rechain them, with what magic do you suppose? It's foolish to even think about." "Then we all need to move. Winter is coming."
07[19:46] * @Shaky_Bridges shrugs to Kidogo_Kito. "Such mystery. Such intrigue! ...Such cowardice. I've mind to go down there and tell them what needs be done!"
14[19:48] <No_One> 3 What *must* needs be done
07[19:50] * @Shaky_Bridges 's accent made that mistake on purpose, to seem more naturally flawed, of course. She brings up some other cameras in the gazebo itself, to see if anyone's heading up this way... or if they have more time.
07[19:52] * Kidogo_Kito furrows her brow a bit and mutters softly before looking toward Shaky, "it sure does sound like there's trouble on the horizon. What are we going to do about it, boss?" She looks back towards the screen trying to make sense of what they're talking about, she was sure that it was about the Windigo.
14[19:54] <No_One> 3 The other cameras show the same thing, only now there is a patrol of guards wandering through the plaza curiously. The ponies below are still arguing over what to do, most seem to be supportive of letting someone else figure out global cooling.
14[19:56] <No_One> 3 *Regional cooling
07[19:59] * @Shaky_Bridges snorts again, "The creatures wanted free, and they wanted north. They may not even stay amidst out region, given the chance. We will have to have words with our cabin boy!" She stands up. "Any more information we ought seek? I believe there is work we must attend~"
[20:01] <Yoshiphone> Meanwhile Dragon is busy seeing if he can get Panya to let him give her belly rubs. It was more for calming him down than her. Her giving him belly rubs is also acceptable.
07[20:02] * Kidogo_Kito nods towards the patrol, "you don't supposed we need to worry about them, do you, boss?" She then focuses back on Shaky and tilts her head, "yeah, that's true. Letting it get on its way north, should mean it won't trouble the region much at all." She looks back towards the screen an frowns a bit, "still wish I knew what the stars meant..."
