  7. [2014-03-28 15:30:52] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The sun rises over the city of Batponrogue, gentle fog clinging to teh streets as the harbor starts to show signs of life.
  8. [2014-03-28 15:32:49] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Somewhere in the city on the roughtop of a very strange shop a smoldering firepit surounded by plush pillows of large size a group of pooped party gowers sleep off the night, bottles of drink and other reminats of the past evenings activities are strung about.
  9. [2014-03-28 15:34:41] * GreatAndPowerfulGM There, sleeping peacfully on one of the bean bags is a dashing, if disheveled batpony with the fortune teller owner of the shop in one hoof, and a large radigator skin bag.

  13. [2014-03-28 15:43:22] * Heartmend checks up on the trio in the med bay, just to make sure the two have not killed off Nitro in the night
  14. [2014-03-28 15:43:55] * Midnight_Bliss has returned to the crows nest perch, polishing her new Grenade rifle
  15. [2014-03-28 15:44:28] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The two mares look rather bedragged, one still awake while the other ones slept. Its a fair guess they took turns last night watching Nitro for sighns of movment. Nitro for his own part seems to have not moved an inch, choosing to bleed quietly without much harm.
  16. [2014-03-28 15:44:53] * Flora_Bloom also seems to have fallen asleep, far away from any of the other party goers.
  17. [2014-03-28 15:45:39] * Sunshine is back on her suit, writing into a small blue notebook. Writing a story about a pony who unwittingly releases a genie. She has slight dark circles around her eyes, but a wide smile.
  18. [2014-03-28 15:45:55] * Gerlinde is also up in the crows nest, using Midnight as a pillow.
  19. [2014-03-28 15:47:32] * Thomas_OMalley wakes as the sun creeps up over the horizon, brushing his dark blue mane from his face, a radigator bag banging into his head. "Oh... dat not smart..."
  20. [2014-03-28 15:48:13] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom is directing movment on the deck as dock ponies moves the assorted junk of the late Lazy bones from the deck to the dock for transport to storage for the academy, the (letter opener shaped) key and painting are upstairs in the map room.
  21. [2014-03-28 15:48:53] * Flora_Bloom yawns as she starts to wake up as well, glancing around the party scene. She sighs. "Thomas?"
  22. [2014-03-28 15:49:11] * Midnight_Bliss looks down from her perch, eyeing the dock workers carefully in case another crazy pony started crazy pony shenanigans
  23. [2014-03-28 15:49:57] * Sunshine leaves her bag of purchases on the table and picks up the exposed valuables
  24. [2014-03-28 15:50:29] * Thomas_OMalley blinks blearily for a couple of moments before things refocus in the light. "Ah, Flora! Did you have fun? I tink you were warming up to de officer mare, yeah?"
  25. [2014-03-28 15:50:39] * GreatAndPowerfulGM NCR guards patrol the docks after yesterdays fiascos across town, watching as well from a distance but no new threats present themselves. Fathom mutters about getting a move on and out of this port sharpish.
  26. [2014-03-28 15:51:49] * Midnight_Bliss sighs and sits back, going back to polishing her new weapon "We need to leave soon, too far behind schedule"
  27. [2014-03-28 15:51:58] * Flora_Bloom rolls her eyes ."Gather you things and let's go." She says, straighting out her outfit. "Our ship is leaving soon."
  28. [2014-03-28 15:52:48] * Thomas_OMalley softly removes himself from the shop owner, gathering up his suit. "Hrm... where be my pants..."
  29. [2014-03-28 15:53:23] * Flora_Bloom points towards the disheaveled pants in the corner as she looks around. "Uh..." She blushes and coughs. "Where are my panties?"
  30. [2014-03-28 15:53:25] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the mare mutters something uninteligable as she curls up on the bean bag and breaths deeply into the beanbag
  31. [2014-03-28 15:54:42] * Thomas_OMalley looks around for a moment for the missing pants before checking the bag he's been holding. His eyes widen, and reaches inside and finds a pair. "Uh... are dese dem?"
  32. [2014-03-28 15:55:15] * Flora_Bloom tilts her head. "No..." she says before sighing. "But we're too late as is so I guess they'll have to do."
  33. [2014-03-28 15:56:33] * Thomas_OMalley nods. "Ok den." The stallion shakes his head. "Dose were my favorite pants..." The stallion deposits his things in his saddle bags before gently nudging the shop owner awake. No sense leaving without saying goodbye.
  34. [2014-03-28 15:57:09] * Thomas_OMalley also gives Flora the panties. He isn't going to be wearing them, after all.
  35. [2014-03-28 15:57:57] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the still hung over shop owner cracks a caked over eye and glances up at Thomas, "hum?"
  36. [2014-03-28 15:58:15] * Flora_Bloom lightly slips on the panties, wiggling around in them to get used to them
  37. [2014-03-28 15:58:51] * Heartmend leisurely trots up on deck to watch the dock workers "So Captian Fathom do you think well be on are way soon? Becuse the sooner we can thoughs three out of our mains the better."
  38. [2014-03-28 16:00:42] * Thomas_OMalley smiles down to her. "Sorry to wake you, cherie, but I got to go. De ship, she be leaving."
  39. [2014-03-28 16:00:54] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathoms nods, puffing a ring of smoke from his pipe as he adjusts his large hat. "Near as i reckon as soon as me crew shows up and these blasted crates are gone from the ship there will be nary a thing holding us back from shiping out right quick".
  40. [2014-03-28 16:01:10] * Flora_Bloom blushes a bit, wondering if she gained any weight.
  41. [2014-03-28 16:02:18] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the shopkeep waves a hoof dismisivly at Thomas as she lays her head down again, "Right, we will see each other again. I can garantee it, thanks for a fun night".
  42. [2014-03-28 16:02:22] * Midnight_Bliss ears twitch hearing the captain below "About time"
  43. [2014-03-28 16:03:44] * Flora_Bloom shivers lightly at the shop keepers mention of a fun night, having vivid memories of how exactly Flora had come to lose her underwear.
  44. [2014-03-28 16:03:59] <Flora_Bloom> "Thomasss, time to go, if they leave without us we're kinda screwed."
  45. [2014-03-28 16:04:16] * Gerlinde snores, rolling over in her sleep. Her beak ends up poking into Midnight_Bliss' wing.
  46. [2014-03-28 16:04:38] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom looks up to Midnight, "Speeking of, let loose a hollar when ye see them coming Miss Bliss so we can get this tub underway soon as there onboard. Might as well rouse the beaked sack of feathers about then as well. All hooves on deck, its full pace to New Horseleans!"
  47. [2014-03-28 16:04:40] * Thomas_OMalley nods to the shopkeeper. "As you see it den." The stallion trots over to Flora, smiling. "Ok den, let's go. You sure you not want to say goodbye to anyone?"
  48. [2014-03-28 16:05:05] * Midnight_Bliss groans and tries to readjust her wings so she's not getting jabbed by drooling bird beak
  49. [2014-03-28 16:05:34] * GreatAndPowerfulGM abord the ship Textbook leans over the second floors railing and watches the dock workers, still dressed in the same attire from yesterday and mane unkept from her sleep in the captains room.
  50. [2014-03-28 16:05:41] * Flora_Bloom frowns at Thomas_OMalley. "Not like I am going to meet anyone I got intimate with again here."
  51. [2014-03-28 16:05:50] * Midnight_Bliss nods to the captain "Yes sir" she says with a saute before nudging Gerlinde "Wake up, all hands on deck"
  52. [2014-03-28 16:06:15] <Gerlinde> Too bad for Midnight, Gerlinde starts to drool. Thankfully for her, she has a nice, fluffy pegasus wing to wipe her beak on. "Whu... huh?" she blinks, waking with a start.
  53. [2014-03-28 16:06:26] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The captain himself looks a right mess with deep dark rings from a unpleseant night sleeping at the wheel house.
  54. [2014-03-28 16:07:29] * Sunshine trots to the captain. "I dont seem to find our florist and batpony companions."
  55. [2014-03-28 16:07:42] * Midnight_Bliss flicks her wing to whip the drool from her feathers "We're shipping out soon, Captain wants everyone awake and alert"
  56. [2014-03-28 16:08:24] * Thomas_OMalley shrugs. "You never know, podna."
  57. [2014-03-28 16:08:53] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the Captain nods, "If they not be back before the last crate hits the dock we be leaving without them"
  58. [2014-03-28 16:09:10] * Gerlinde groans and nods, shaking herself awake. "Right."
  59. [2014-03-28 16:09:17] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the dock workers work to unload the last half of the crates.
  60. [2014-03-28 16:09:22] * Flora_Bloom sighs and moves towards the NCR officer, she lightly nudges her with her snout
  61. [2014-03-28 16:09:54] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the Officer groans and rolls over, muttering, "Whutisit?"
  62. [2014-03-28 16:10:32] <Sunshine> "Oh, that would be a shame." She trots to the edge of the boat, looking for them on the harbor using her syglass
  63. [2014-03-28 16:10:39] <Sunshine> *spyglass
  64. [2014-03-28 16:10:43] * Flora_Bloom licks her cheeks. "Thanks for the fun night hun."
  65. [2014-03-28 16:11:03] * Midnight_Bliss lifts her recharger rifle, using the scope to keep an eye out for their companions
  66. [2014-03-28 16:11:10] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the officer nods, "wuzfun"
  67. [2014-03-28 16:12:13] * Flora_Bloom smiles and smirks, she starts to leave before looking at Thomas. "One second." She leans down and whispers to the NCR officer. "You just had sex with a superhero." She says before trotting towards him. "Okay, now we can go." she says with a smirk
  68. [2014-03-28 16:13:32] * Sunshine rubs her head and take a deep breath. "I'd be so glad for a cup of coffee right now."
  69. [2014-03-28 16:13:55] * Thomas_OMalley raises an eyebrow as he starts walking toward the ship. "Promising tings for de future, Flora?" The batpony finishes that sentence with a smirk.
  70. [2014-03-28 16:14:53] * Flora_Bloom rolls eyes. "Nope, just exposing my secret identity to a half hungover pony."
  71. [2014-03-28 16:15:28] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom nods and points up to the wheelhouse, "Should be half a fairly fresh pot up there, need to wash up yer own mug from the gally or break room though".
  72. [2014-03-28 16:16:01] * GreatAndPowerfulGM ftahom narrows his eyes, "you finish the pot though ye best put on another one before ya go and bugger off. Only good maners"
  73. [2014-03-28 16:16:41] * Midnight_Bliss looks down to the captain "I think I see them coming now sir"
  74. [2014-03-28 16:16:58] * Sunshine smiles gratefully. "Gladly. Thank you, kind sir." She trots to the wheelhouse
  75. [2014-03-28 16:17:22] * Heartmend nods "Good, I think we've been here for far to long."
  76. [2014-03-28 16:17:23] * Thomas_OMalley chuckles. "You sure dat wise? Depending on de inability of a hungover pony's brain?"
  77. [2014-03-28 16:17:53] * Flora_Bloom smirks. "Whose going to believe her even if she remembers?" She says. "I think 3 steps ahead."
  78. [2014-03-28 16:18:28] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom nods to Heartmend, "Ye can say that again for sure, right on time they are" he says as he watches the last crate leave the gangplank. Turning he trots after Sunshin towards the wheelhouse to start the ship.
  79. [2014-03-28 16:19:12] * Thomas_OMalley laughs. "Dat be fair, fair indeed. Come on, let's go and get to de ship quick like." The stallion starts forward at a trot.
  80. [2014-03-28 16:20:04] * Flora_Bloom trots quickly as well.
  81. [2014-03-28 16:21:11] * Sunshine takes the cup to wash. "I suppose we already spent too long in this town." She says, passing by the captain.
  82. [2014-03-28 16:21:15] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Thomas and Flora experiance no delays or trouble as they aproch the ship quickly and with hase, making for a short trip, the boat in sight soon.
  83. [2014-03-28 16:21:53] * Flora_Bloom trots up the ship happily, looking around and then trotting towards her study area.
  84. [2014-03-28 16:23:10] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom watches from above as the two board the ship, turning over the boats engines and calling out orders to pull the gangplank up, throw off the ropes teathering the ship to dock, and prepare to make way.
  85. [2014-03-28 16:23:40] * Thomas_OMalley helps pull the gangplank up before flying over to get the ropes. He can get to the engine room and start work once they are moving.
  86. [2014-03-28 16:23:42] * Heartmend smiles at the two "Well look who just had a fun night on the town."
  87. [2014-03-28 16:23:55] * Flora_Bloom trots and leaves some books down on her desk before looking around for Sunshine. She smirks at Heartmend. "You have no idea."
  88. [2014-03-28 16:24:47] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom Pulls the ship out of port and gets the second half of there journy underway.
  89. [2014-03-28 16:24:57] * Sunshine is washing a mug.
  90. [2014-03-28 16:25:23] * Heartmend still smiles at her "Oh the think I do. But youcan tell me some other time. This tub is about to sail."
  91. [2014-03-28 16:25:24] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Flora leaves her books atop another left on her desk
  92. [2014-03-28 16:25:48] * Midnight_Bliss flies down to aid in getting the ship underway as fast as possible
  93. [2014-03-28 16:25:57] * Flora_Bloom blinks before she grabs the other book, flipping it open.
  94. [2014-03-28 16:26:33] * Thomas_OMalley smiles over to Heartmend as he brings in the line. "A gentlestallion never tells."
  95. [2014-03-28 16:27:24] <Flora_Bloom> "Good thing you aren't one Thomas!" She calls while reading her book.
  96. [2014-03-28 16:28:13] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the book is large and well bound, its every page well kept for, possibly magically from how well perserved it is. The tittle on the impressive cover reads in gold leaf, "Biology and Batonomy of our world and beyond"
  97. [2014-03-28 16:28:49] * Flora_Bloom blinks as she trots towards Sunshine. "Did you set this book on my desk?"
  98. [2014-03-28 16:28:54] * Thomas_OMalley blows a raspberry at Flora. "I'll have you know I've never told once!"
  99. [2014-03-28 16:29:50] |<-- Flora_Bloom has left irc.canternet.org (Connection closed)
  100. [2014-03-28 16:30:18] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom stands at the wheel of his ship, sipping coffee with his rifle pistol nearby and old eyes watching the waves. Textbook, who has not left the ship, watches as Batponrouge starts to shrink behind the ship.
  101. [2014-03-28 16:30:22] -->| Flora_Bloom (gcfflodgwpn@Pony-5ksaej.res.rr.com) has joined #CryMeARiver
  102. [2014-03-28 16:30:44] * Flora_Bloom smirks. "Yeah not yet!" She calls back
  103. [2014-03-28 16:31:05] <Sunshine> "What book?" She turns to Flora tilting her head, holding a clean mug.
  104. [2014-03-28 16:32:10] * Thomas_OMalley rolls his eyes and flies over to Textbook. "So, you coming wit us?"
  105. [2014-03-28 16:32:44] * Flora_Bloom shows Sunshine the book. "Regardless I need your help."
  106. [2014-03-28 16:32:59] * Midnight_Bliss returns to her perch to keep a lookout on the surrounding area
  107. [2014-03-28 16:33:36] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Textbook looks to Thomas for a moment before looking back at BatponRouge. "Something like that... I told the academy I was going to New hourseleans to find passage to the academys headquarters, which is what was going to happen anyway.... but I think i would rather not do that just yet, I want to know what it was my father died for"
  108. [2014-03-28 16:37:06] <Sunshine> "Hmm, lets have a cup of coffee and talk about it, shall we?" She smiles. She has slight dark circles around her eyes and moves slower than usual. Her elegance shakes with the boat as she tries to hold her balance. "Follow me, if you may."
  109. [2014-03-28 16:37:23] * Flora_Bloom smirks a bit as she trots with. "Long night?"
  110. [2014-03-28 16:38:49] <Sunshine> "You could say so. The call of the night is so alluring, but it takes its toll." She climbs back to the wheelhouse to get a cup of coffee.
  111. [2014-03-28 16:40:03] * Flora_Bloom nods. "Well then, I'm going to ask for your help on studying this seed I have."
  112. [2014-03-28 16:40:29] * Thomas_OMalley nods to Textbook. "Well, if you want to talk wit, I'll be in de engine room. Unless de capitan has anyting else for me?"
  113. [2014-03-28 16:41:08] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fthom makes no such demands and Textbook just solomly nods.
  114. [2014-03-28 16:44:26] * Thomas_OMalley collects the materials to make the fakes of each and heads down to the engine room. After checking the inside of the hull and the engine, he gets to work on the fakes.
  115. [2014-03-28 16:44:30] * Sunshine floats the coffee pot along, her magic aura flickering a bit. "Is that so? Hmm..." She fills a cup of coffee and takes a sip. "What do you have in mind? I'm afraid botanics is not among my talents. Do you mind sharing a cup, it seems its the only one we have here." She offers the cup, sitting down.
  116. [2014-03-28 16:47:47] * GreatAndPowerfulGM chuggling along down the Missipony river the ship makes its way south, its passengers working, ploting, and in some cases lazing about for the trip.
  117. [2014-03-28 16:50:37] * GreatAndPowerfulGM slicing through the waters of the river through the day and the night by morning the ship is passing over the ruins of Old Horseleans, the entrance to lake Ponychartrain opening up around them and then after a bend in the river new horseleans apears in teh distance as the boat passes the occasional weatherd building breaching the water.
  118. [2014-03-28 16:51:33] * Midnight_Bliss eyes the horizon, focusing on the city in her scopes
  119. [2014-03-28 16:51:58] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Around them a few small boats pass along from dilapigated building peek to peek, divers splashing down as Reclimators get to work scavenging the river floor. It is nearly noon when the ship approches the docks.
  120. [2014-03-28 16:53:13] * Midnight_Bliss feel her stomache knot up being so close to her goal.
  121. [2014-03-28 16:53:29] * Heartmend wonders the deck looking on as the river pass by
  122. [2014-03-28 16:53:48] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom smokes and drinks his coffee as he pilots the ship into dock. Textbook waits on deck, looking aprehensive as the boat slows.
  123. [2014-03-28 16:54:50] * Gerlinde yawns, looking on with boredom.
  124. [2014-03-28 16:55:54] * Thomas_OMalley stands on the deck as the boat approaches the city. The batpony looks pensive. He nods once before getting things ready for docking.
  125. [2014-03-28 16:55:56] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Stops the boat and steps down to the deck, calling out orders. "Alright you lot secure the ship and show yerselves sharpish, we have reached our destination and tis time to square up on payment and part ways!"
  126. [2014-03-28 16:57:03] * Midnight_Bliss holsters her rifle and leaps down from the perch, aiding in locking the boat down to the docks. She felt a fire to end her mission soon
  127. [2014-03-28 16:58:17] * Gerlinde unfurls her wings and glides down to the deck, turning her attention to the captain. "Anything you need done that I can handle?"
  128. [2014-03-28 16:59:48] * GreatAndPowerfulGM nods, "eye, round up any straglers and be sure none of the green lot screw up securing my vessle, shes already seen enough of a beating lordy knows she cant take to much more, shes not what she used to be. Do that quick and ye can have yer pay right fast, savy?"
  129. [2014-03-28 17:01:31] * Thomas_OMalley gets the ropes out and starts securing the boat to the dock, working quickly.
  130. [2014-03-28 17:01:36] * Heartmend looks over the city of New Horseleans
  131. [2014-03-28 17:02:59] * Gerlinde nods and looks around. Who's missing... Flora_Bloom. Gerlinde snickers, flying fast towards wherever Flora_Bloom would be hiding herself away. "Flooooraaaaa," she calls, "time to get your ass moving!"
  132. [2014-03-28 17:03:19] * GreatAndPowerfulGM pulls out several individually wrapped bags of caps and sets them down on the deck, 5 in all. "Best to be getting this over with"
  133. [2014-03-28 17:04:51] * Flora_Bloom trots up to deck, carrying various books and plants on her saddlebags. "Ah, and what would you know of my ass?"
  134. [2014-03-28 17:05:19] * Midnight_Bliss returns to the captain, standing at attention with her hoof saluting him "It has been an honor serving aboard your vessel captain"
  135. [2014-03-28 17:06:09] <Gerlinde> "That it looks nice in a latex costume," Gerlinde replies. "But Cap'n said we need to get the ship ready to dock. Need your help too."
  136. [2014-03-28 17:07:01] * Flora_Bloom tilts her head. "Why? I'm not honestly the strongest.
  137. [2014-03-28 17:07:32] * Sunshine gathers with the group as the caps are set on the table. "Doesn't this jingling sound so refreshing."
  138. [2014-03-28 17:07:55] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom nods to Midnight Bliss with a smile, "Likewise, could have done without all the hulabalo back in batponrougue but it happens... i guess, to someponys that is. In any case It seems your all here". Textbook has also steps in line with the others, floating her own bag of caps out to the captain with her magic.
  139. [2014-03-28 17:09:23] * Thomas_OMalley finishes securing the boat before joining in line. He gives the captain in a salute. "I wish de voyage could been better, Capitan. But de ship, she be sound and saw us through."
  140. [2014-03-28 17:10:05] * Midnight_Bliss nods "No mission ever goes complatley by the book" she says, stepping forward and taking her bag of caps
  141. [2014-03-28 17:10:38] * Gerlinde huffs, "Because he said so." The griffoness rolls her eyes. "And if you wanna get paid, you should come to the deck." \
  142. [2014-03-28 17:11:43] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom nods to the crew, "Right well that sure as a cherry pie is true enough, but let me just say while I dont expect to ever sign you lot back on to my vessle again, which as it is will be out of commision for a whiles anyhow, there be no hard feelings about it. you each get your agreed apon payment for yer work".
  143. [2014-03-28 17:12:11] * Flora_Bloom shrugs. "No problem." She says, stepping up deck and taking her caps. "This will help my research fund..." She says.
  144. [2014-03-28 17:12:43] <Sunshine> "At least it was an interesting trip." She floats her bag of caps. "It was nice working with you, captain. Stay safe."
  145. [2014-03-28 17:13:24] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom looks to the sacks, "150 caps with another 50 a day, three days of work makes for a tottal of 300 caps each. Going to near bankrupt me but Miss Textbooks payment for the rush voage to Hourseleans helps a tad. Now I assume you can show yourself off the boat, its been a pleasure and I wish you luck"
  146. [2014-03-28 17:13:38] * Gerlinde grins, taking her caps.
  147. [2014-03-28 17:13:45] * Midnight_Bliss nods and gives a salute "Farewell captain, may the wind be at your back always"
  148. [2014-03-28 17:14:33] * Flora_Bloom nods, starting to make her way off. "Ah before anything else." She glances back. "Thank's for the fun everypony. Most interesting my life has been in a while." She says as she trots off deck onto the dock.
  149. [2014-03-28 17:14:37] * Heartmend trots over to Fathom "So this is it. The last we'll get to see you. And I just wanted to tell you that you've been fine company. I hope to see in the future." as she collects her caps
  150. [2014-03-28 17:15:21] * Thomas_OMalley collects his caps. "I'm sorry dis be de last time we workin' together. You been a fine capitan; wish I could work wit you more."
  151. [2014-03-28 17:15:27] * Midnight_Bliss extends her wings and takes flight, directing herself straight for the city, looking for the Rusty Hull Tavern
  152. [2014-03-28 17:15:53] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Fathom nods in kind to each farewell, "Im sure we will Doc, right proper bit of work we did together and Ill miss yer company"
  153. [2014-03-28 17:17:37] <Sunshine> "Farewell. May the winds be favorable to you." She trots to Thomas_OMalley side. "But this, it isn't quite done yet." She smiles to him.
  154. [2014-03-28 17:17:50] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Textbook trots up to Sunshine, "Ummm... excuse me but do you happen to know who has the map and key? I really do want to be part of whatever it is that happens next".
  155. [2014-03-28 17:18:33] * Thomas_OMalley nods to Sunshine. "Dat be true. Where we go now?"
  156. [2014-03-28 17:18:51] * Flora_Bloom trots towards the nearest library or Acadamy school
  157. [2014-03-28 17:22:06] * Heartmend trots next to Gerlinde "Well now that we'er here, lest see about that little problem of yours. That I my have had a hoof in."
  158. [2014-03-28 17:22:43] * Gerlinde raises an eyebrow, stepping back a little. "Problem? The hell you talking about?"
  159. [2014-03-28 17:23:54] * Midnight_Bliss lands in the towns streets, looking for the tavern in question
  160. [2014-03-28 17:25:14] * Sunshine briefly shines the key from her pocket. "You could tell us what you know along the way. But not to loud, I'd suggest."
  161. [2014-03-28 17:26:42] * Heartmend shakes her head "They always say that. Now it may not be that much a deal to you. But to me. I just don't like give my patients or...." rolling a forehoof "Friends suffer for my miss deads."
  162. [2014-03-28 17:27:11] * Gerlinde huffs, "I have no idea what you're talking about!"
  163. [2014-03-28 17:27:30] * Thomas_OMalley nods. "Well den... I need a library. And we need some gear... de place we goin be... unfriendly."
  164. [2014-03-28 17:30:39] * Heartmend slumps at the griffons refusal of help "Welp I can't make you do it." gives a sigh "Well thats just a another stain on my sole I'll have to live with."
  165. [2014-03-28 17:31:06] <Sunshine> "Library, you say? I'll be accompanying you. We also must arrange our stay, do you know any locals who could help us with it?"
  166. [2014-03-28 17:31:35] * GreatAndPowerfulGM A kind older pony points Midnight_Bliss in the right direction, indicating a rusted out bowl shaped building sitting atop a dock its own no the water front, a small number of ships float next to.
  167. [2014-03-28 17:32:35] * Gerlinde rolls her eyes. "Whatever." She turns her attention to Thomas_OMalley. "Hey, you gonna take up that treasure job?"
  168. [2014-03-28 17:32:37] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Textbook nods and follows Thomas and Sunshine, ok, well I dont know much but I do have some info... humm, maybe I could tell you some of it but allot of it is pretty boring actually"
  169. [2014-03-28 17:32:39] * Thomas_OMalley nods to Sunshine. "I do, but I don't want her involved in dis. Don't want her in danger."
  170. [2014-03-28 17:33:43] * Thomas_OMalley nods to Gerlinde. "Yeah. I'd like to know more about it, if noting else."
  171. [2014-03-28 17:33:56] * Midnight_Bliss nods in appreciation to the older pony before flying towards the tavern trying not to look suspicious and keep a liesurly pace. She narrows her eyes as she lands in front and makes her way inside
  172. [2014-03-28 17:34:11] * Heartmend thinks for a moment "Oh Thomas would you know where one could get some medical supplies? I may as well stock up."
  173. [2014-03-28 17:35:18] * Gerlinde nods. "Awesome." She coughs. "So... what do we need to do next, or go next, to get in on that? ...I may have been a little distracted."
  174. [2014-03-28 17:36:23] * Thomas_OMalley nods to Gerlinde. "Well, I need a library. I recognize de area, but not de exact specifics."
  175. [2014-03-28 17:36:24] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Texbook holds up a hoof, "Well its seems we have sorted out at least abouts where the clue on the painting pointed and if what we have is in fact a key for it, it serves that there is something to open. Seeing as how this is a pirate who was never caught there is at least a chance of there being a stash of some sort".
  176. [2014-03-28 17:37:41] <Sunshine> "Show me around and I'm sure I can get us a reasonable place." She nods ahead.=
  177. [2014-03-28 17:37:43] <Gerlinde> "Mind if I tag along?"
  178. [2014-03-28 17:38:06] * GreatAndPowerfulGM trotting up the swollen wood plank steps to the bar Midnight spots the shreaded remains of the inflatable raft Nitro used stashed in a pile of net and rope near the bar. Sounds of music come from inside, a radio playing scratchy tones.
  179. [2014-03-28 17:39:20] * Midnight_Bliss eyes the raft with narrowed eyes before makeing her way inside, ducking down in an attempt to sneak by unnoticed
  180. [2014-03-28 17:41:37] <Thomas_OMalley> The stallion nods. "Sure. Always use de extra eyes."
  181. [2014-03-28 17:42:27] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the door closes behind Midnight harshly, the bang cauzing the aged radio to fizzle out for a moment before the bartender could smack it with a tallon, the griff eyeing her along with the rest of the scant few patrons in the room.
  182. [2014-03-28 17:44:07] * GreatAndPowerfulGM a still wet trail leads from the door to behind the bar where the griff on duty returns to washing a mug.
  183. [2014-03-28 17:45:07] * Midnight_Bliss uses a hoof to dust herself off, cursing at herself under her breath for her failed stealth attempt. She let out a sigh and made her way to the bartender. It was cliche but in her travels the bartenders were the best for finding somepony in an area. especially if they were invited here "Excuse me sir, I'm looking for someone, old pegasi companion named Golden Horizon"
  184. [2014-03-28 17:47:49] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the grif dosent blink as his eyes slide slowly from Midnight downwards to his task, seconds passing as he lets the pause draw out. "Dosent ring a bell". Behind her Midnight can here a few hoof steps as a few patrions move for the door, leaving behind there greasy sandwiches and cheep drinks.
  185. [2014-03-28 17:49:53] * Midnight_Bliss her ears twitch hearing the hoofsteps and she turns her head to see who was trying to make a quick escape
  186. [2014-03-28 17:52:22] * GreatAndPowerfulGM a pair of ponies, one unicorn and a earth pony keep there heads down as they make for the door, besides midnight and the griffin there is only one more pony left in the room, a red coated earth pony with white striped black mane playing solitare.
  187. [2014-03-28 17:53:23] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Thomas leads the pack to a local library, the same Flora is entrenched at behind a wall of books and star charts. Inside there is a wealth of information of Old Horseleans and its streets.
  188. [2014-03-28 17:56:07] * GreatAndPowerfulGM a thud comes from the bar as the griffin sets down the mug
  189. [2014-03-28 17:56:50] * Gerlinde hovers beside Tom, frowning as she looks around the library and one of her least favorite things. Books.
  190. [2014-03-28 17:57:18] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Gerlinde finds a nice book on bacon and the many things one can make with it
  191. [2014-03-28 17:57:41] * Midnight_Bliss has always known how to read a room. she looks to the solitair playing pony and steps over quietly. "I'm looking for somepony, and I'm willing to pay for a lead. You seem like the type to know whats going on here." she attempted to look the pony over more but the thud f the mug startled her
  192. [2014-03-28 17:57:55] <Gerlinde> and sees one of her least favorite things*
  193. [2014-03-28 17:58:00] * Thomas_OMalley waves to Flora before walking through the stacks, pulling out a variety of maps and looking through the maps.
  194. [2014-03-28 17:58:13] * Gerlinde huffs. It's a trap, clearly. She continues past the bacon book.
  195. [2014-03-28 17:58:15] * Flora_Bloom half heartedly waves back
  196. [2014-03-28 17:59:28] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The mysterious Red coated pony is the eptitomy of nonplussed and continues his game, his head down and focused on the game, the brim of his hat obscuring his face. Behind Midnight the bartender is still watching her as he leans over the table, one claw behind the bar now.
  197. [2014-03-28 18:00:17] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The card pony hums as he places another card, expertly tossing it neatly into place before him. "Dont mind Herby, hes a jerk but at least he keeps the dishes clean.... ish"
  198. [2014-03-28 18:02:40] * Midnight_Bliss looks over to the bartender "Whatever your claw is doing down there, it's a very bad idea" she says in an irritated tone before turning back to the red coated pony. "I have encountered many likewise jerks in my travels, but I'm nearly at the end. I'm looking for a mare, Golden Horizons. Yellow coated pegasi, white mane, cutie mark of a sun rising over parted clouds"
  199. [2014-03-28 18:03:43] * Flora_Bloom curses. "Thomas? You said you're a good mechanic, right?"
  200. [2014-03-28 18:05:07] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The card pony nods, "She sounds familure, faces tend to blend together a bit but I seem to remember a pegasus like that... real bad card player, no skill for reading aponents. Shame really, dead useful skill in life if you ask me, dont you think?"
  201. [2014-03-28 18:05:43] <Sunshine> After being presented with just outrageous prices, Sunshine dons a cloak and overalls and looks around an abandoned house for entrances
  202. [2014-03-28 18:06:31] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Sunshine thinks she has a place but it may require shoowing away some rad roaches
  203. [2014-03-28 18:07:03] * Thomas_OMalley looks up from his book. "I be a good one Flora. What up?"
  204. [2014-03-28 18:07:41] <Flora_Bloom> "Well for my seed to grow I need to design a place to house it... You mind helping me with that?"
  205. [2014-03-28 18:07:48] * Sunshine is glad to have put away his nicer clothes. Disgusting little things. He trots to the library
  206. [2014-03-28 18:07:49] * Midnight_Bliss eyes the pony across from her and nods "Yes, One could say it's a skill that could save your life or end anothers if the situation calls for it"
  207. [2014-03-28 18:08:21] * GreatAndPowerfulGM between the books and maps Thomas has acurate of lat and log for the street adress as he could muster.
  208. [2014-03-28 18:09:40] * Thomas_OMalley nods. "Sure, dat not be too hard. Just a greenhouse, right?" Thomas keeps reading through the map books once he has found what he's looking for. No sense pointing someone in the precise direction he is taking everyone...

  212. [2014-03-28 18:11:14] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the card pony nods, "Exactly, which is obviously a skill old Herby lacks which is a disapointing failure for a barkeeper", a snort comes from the bar, "Sorry Herb but its true, in any case the question is... why do you want want this information?"
  213. [2014-03-28 18:11:32] * Flora_Bloom nods lightly. "Kinda yeah." She says. "Just probably smaller. Here, let's work together on it."
  214. [2014-03-28 18:12:34] * Thomas_OMalley nods to Flora. "Alright. I can keep looking at dese maps later." The stallion heads over to a small table, happy to take a small break.
  215. [2014-03-28 18:13:04] <Midnight_Bliss> "My reasons are my own. suffice to say, I have been looking for this mare nearly 10 years, I am this close and I will not give up my quest. And I am willing to pay"
  216. [2014-03-28 18:13:48] * Sunshine trots into the library, again in her business outfit. She looks around for Thomas.
  217. [2014-03-28 18:15:02] * GreatAndPowerfulGM nods, "ready to pay, but are you ready to play? Becouse I have some info for you but its back there", he says pointing to the back, "But its the poker room you see, only get in after a hoof of cards with me. You could call me a gatekeeper of sorts"
  218. [2014-03-28 18:16:59] * Midnight_Bliss narrows her eyes at the pony but nods and takes a seat in front of him "I will do what is needed for this information, but I will attest that Games such as these I have never played, the Enclave frowned on games of chance"
  219. [2014-03-28 18:18:26] * Thomas_OMalley waves over to Sunshine. "De parts for dis be very specific... and not cheap, Flora."
  220. [2014-03-28 18:19:31] * Flora_Bloom takes out her caps, all of them. "Use these."
  221. [2014-03-28 18:19:53] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The card pony looks up and makes first eye contact as he hoofs the cards together and shuffles them, "nah, dont worry. Its just a quirk of mine, boss hates it but he indulges me becouse I mostly do a good job sorting out what sort of ponies walk throught the door, spoting the dangerous ones. Caps are good for this sort of work"
  222. [2014-03-28 18:22:36] * Sunshine approaches the group. "I had a feeling somepony needed help with caps."
  223. [2014-03-28 18:24:18] * Thomas_OMalley looks down at the pile of caps. "Dat... well, it not quite enough. And keepin' it runnin, dat be a trick all it own. I'd want extra parts." Thomas smiles over at Sunshine. "Aye, just going over a shopping list for Flora." The stallion turns back to the botanical mare. "Maybe you come wit us and earn some caps along de way? I need a bit of time to nail down a location before we get some gear."
  224. [2014-03-28 18:24:58] <Sunshine> "I found a place for us, but it might need some... extermination work." She says with a bit of disgust in her face.
  225. [2014-03-28 18:25:42] * Flora_Bloom sighs and slams her hooves on the table. "I need this done as soon as I can. My own magic will speed the process along quickly." She says. "What are the parts needed?"
  226. [2014-03-28 18:26:14] * Midnight_Bliss nods to the pony, her eyes staring right back at his as she attempted to read him "I understand, Caps are a good motivator for many"
  227. [2014-03-28 18:26:30] * Thomas_OMalley lists them out. "Like I said, de not be cheap. And for stable ground, I'd suggest up near Batpone Rouge. Not as prone to sinking."
  228. [2014-03-28 18:27:05] * Flora_Bloom sighs. "How're we going to get back there?" She asks, looking to Sunshine. "Well that seems bad."
  229. [2014-03-28 18:27:37] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the Card pony seems to be doing a great job at keeping himself composed, a master of bluff to the end. His movements are smooth as he deals his cards, one kept near the edge of teh table where the reverse sides of screws hint at the holster attatched there for emergencys.
  230. [2014-03-28 18:27:45] * Thomas_OMalley pushes the mare's money back to her. "How bout you hold on to dis for now? You still need to get food, no? Unless you like de radroach." Thomas turns back to Sunshine. "Well, if just roaches, dey be easy to squash."
  231. [2014-03-28 18:27:52] <Thomas_OMalley> "At least it not spiders."
  232. [2014-03-28 18:27:53] <Sunshine> "On the bright side, it's free." She smiles awkwardly
  233. [2014-03-28 18:28:10] <Flora_Bloom> "This is very important for me." She tells Thomas_OMalley. "I... I need this to be done." She says. "No, I can grow my own." She says back to him, giving the caps back.
  234. [2014-03-28 18:28:43] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The card pony nods, "We cant all be so blessed as to have a mission, by the way poor show mentioning the enclave training earlier. Tiping the hoof if you ask me, not that I care. Met my fair share of you lot in my time".
  235. [2014-03-28 18:29:37] * Thomas_OMalley nods to the mare. "Well den, I'll keep an ear out for any good deals. When I find de parts, den we spend de money. Taking money from a friend for dis... it not be right. So please... hold on to your caps for now?"
  236. [2014-03-28 18:29:54] * Sunshine nods. "Radroaches." She leans closer. "So, this must be about the seed, am I right?"
  237. [2014-03-28 18:30:10] * GreatAndPowerfulGM across town a fat medic walks Heartmend through the process of detox as they help patients, pointing out his old equipment as he dose so and giving advice here and there. "-Of course the most important thing is that they have to want to be clean or ells they just go right back to it you see, need a reason to fight the addiction"
  238. [2014-03-28 18:30:19] <Midnight_Bliss> "I'm a pegasi, 90% of us were military, and the enclave counts every citizen from above the clouds as well, not just those in uniform. "
  239. [2014-03-28 18:30:24] * Flora_Bloom shakes her head. "No." She says before nodding at Sunshine. "Yes, I have all thei nformation I need to grow it, I just need to make it."
  240. [2014-03-28 18:32:23] * Midnight_Bliss her eyes dont flinch from the card pnies eyes "And you can forget about that gun you are keeping close. If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead."
  241. [2014-03-28 18:32:30] * Thomas_OMalley groans. "Jument tenace..." The stallion mutters before putting the caps in his saddle bags.
  242. [2014-03-28 18:32:59] * Flora_Bloom smiles softly at Thomas. "Thank you Thomas. I just... this is personal for me. Very personal."
  243. [2014-03-28 18:33:05] * Heartmend nods as she follow throughs with the medic's tutelage "Thats as always been the case."
  244. [2014-03-28 18:33:23] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Deals the cards, "Fair enough I suppose, but for somepony who came here willing to pay for information I wouldnt think you would just give it away yourself. But dont mind me, im nosey when I play cards. now lets play a hoof and get this done with"
  245. [2014-03-28 18:34:23] * Thomas_OMalley sighs. "You lucky I not able to resist a pretty mare's smile, cherie." The stallion puts the rest of the materials away, keeping a copy of the necessary parts. "Well den, I just need a bit more time looking through the maps, den we can go see about dis place to live."
  246. [2014-03-28 18:34:56] * Midnight_Bliss nods and takes her cards "Agreed, lets get this over with"
  247. [2014-03-28 18:35:22] * Flora_Bloom nods, getting up. "I'm going to go scout out places to find the various parts." She says, trotting hastily.
  248. [2014-03-28 18:35:35] <Sunshine> "Tell me when you are done. Meanwhile I have something I'd like to look into." She turns to the spellbook section.
  249. [2014-03-28 18:35:40] * Gerlinde continues to grump about the library, waiting for Thomas_OMalley to tell her it's time to go.
  250. [2014-03-28 18:36:14] * Thomas_OMalley nods and stands. "Flora, you want to help me wit de maps? Be good having another set of eyes on dis."
  251. [2014-03-28 18:37:01] <Flora_Bloom> "I..." She shakes her head. "I don't know what you're looking for and I'm not sure what I could help with
  252. [2014-03-28 18:38:39] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the card pony and midnight study there cards, reading each other over the brim of them and slowly reveal more cards till the game ends with Midnight as the victor, the card pony chuckles to himself as he shakes his head, "How about that, you win"
  253. [2014-03-28 18:39:21] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the medic nods and continues to show Heartmend the ropes.
  254. [2014-03-28 18:39:25] * Thomas_OMalley smiles. "I just want to be sure de place lines up. No sense getting lost when we hunting, right?"
  255. [2014-03-28 18:39:47] * Midnight_Bliss sets her cards down, not allowing even a hint of a smile "Well, lucky me. now, How about that information?"
  256. [2014-03-28 18:40:05] <Flora_Bloom> "I." She sighs. "Fine. What exactly do you need?"
  257. [2014-03-28 18:41:38] * Thomas_OMalley nods and starts to walk amongst the stacks. "Like I said. Just another set of eyes, one used to looking at books. You be de perfect choice, podna."
  258. [2014-03-28 18:42:21] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The card pony stands and nods, leaving his firearm behind under the table. "As we agreed, besides I belive I have done my job to the letter. To try and do more would be a proper invitation for trouble, saw it on you when you came in. Now if you follow me Ill show you to the back... step aside Herb"
  259. [2014-03-28 18:42:29] * Flora_Bloom sits down and starts to look over the maps.
  260. [2014-03-28 18:43:17] * Midnight_Bliss nods and stands up, not trusting this situation despite her victory at cards. She keeps her weapons close as she follows
  261. [2014-03-28 18:43:50] * Thomas_OMalley hooves over several maps to Flora, passing her several calculations as he does so. Each calculation hits a different intersection all around the sunken portion of New Horseleans.
  262. [2014-03-28 18:44:18] * Flora_Bloom starts to run the calculations with the maps
  263. [2014-03-28 18:44:47] * GreatAndPowerfulGM Herby the bartender slides his sawed off back into its holster at his hip just under his apron as the two trot by, not following them with his eyes as he cleans another glass with a grumble.
  264. [2014-03-28 18:45:40] * Midnight_Bliss doesn't give Herb or his sawed off a second glance as she follows the card pony down.
  265. [2014-03-28 18:45:45] * GreatAndPowerfulGM opening a door behind the bar the card pony, whos cutie mark consists spades, dimonds, hearts, and clubs, holds it open for her, a soft light shines from inside. "After you, everything I know about the mare is back here"
  266. [2014-03-28 18:47:03] * Midnight_Bliss steps passed him, eyes activly looking for anything odd or out of the ordinary
  267. [2014-03-28 18:48:26] * Sunshine takes a beginner's manipulation spellbook and opens it on the table.
  268. [2014-03-28 18:49:23] * GreatAndPowerfulGM past the door is a wide room with benches center, a line of lockers to one side, a back door which is open, and a computer desk set up next to a rather nice poker table proped up on crates of cheep booz. Most of the lockers feature cutie marks rather than names, one is currently ajar.
  269. [2014-03-28 18:50:14] <Thomas_OMalley> After about half an hour, Thomas starts putting back the maps. "Ok, dat it. Now let's go check out dat place to stay."
  270. [2014-03-28 18:50:25] * Midnight_Bliss trots up to the ajar locker and looks at the cutie mark for whom it belongs
  271. [2014-03-28 18:51:05] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the card pony steps in behind her. "Welcom to the club house, not mine or even Herbys mind you. The head honcho just rents the room from the sour griffin and Im just the door guy, keep an eye out for trouble and such so I cant tell you to much personally about the mare your looking for".
  272. [2014-03-28 18:51:37] * GreatAndPowerfulGM between the fifth locker and the one ajar Midnight spots one featuring her targets cutie mark, it is locked shut.
  273. [2014-03-28 18:53:15] * Midnight_Bliss turns to the card Pony "All I need to know is where she is or how to find her" she says, moving to the locker owned by the mare
  274. [2014-03-28 18:56:16] * GreatAndPowerfulGM The card pony shrugs, "They dont pay me enough to know that miss, heck they tried to but im smarter than that. See there are always ponies willing to take that info away from you at any cost, can get messy, especially from the look Nitro had when he was here a moment ago cleaning out his locker. Guessing you did that"
  275. [2014-03-28 18:56:51] <GreatAndPowerfulGM> steping forward he twists the numbers on the combination lock a bit, " All I know is that she comes and gos, gets jobs from the computer same as the others, this her locker"
  276. [2014-03-28 18:57:09] * Midnight_Bliss examines the mares locker "Thats classified"
  277. [2014-03-28 18:57:53] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the lock clicks open, smiling he looks to Midnight, "Ah, then dont tell me. Classified can get you killed. Now I think this here is open if you like, just a lucky guess on my part for the combonation".
  278. [2014-03-28 18:58:42] * GreatAndPowerfulGM turning he trots back to the front, "Anyway good luck finding her, havent seen her for a while myself. Show yourself out when your done wont you? oh and please leave my locker alone if you please."
  279. [2014-03-28 18:58:48] * Midnight_Bliss nods in thanks "Of couse its a lucky guess. a Pony like you doesn't pay attention to such thingsright?" she asked, opening the locker
  280. [2014-03-28 18:59:59] * GreatAndPowerfulGM the pony laughs as he turns and winks, "Right, spot on miss, spot on. Now if you excuse me I have to go not pay attention for a bit"
  281. [2014-03-28 19:00:03] * GreatAndPowerfulGM with that he leaves
  282. [2014-03-28 19:01:44] * GreatAndPowerfulGM >> Signal lost
  283. [2014-03-28 19:01:51] * GreatAndPowerfulGM >> ...
