-[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~SESSION 10 - 2~~~~~~
+15[12:07] * +Kirengo had totally opened up the hatch on the cargo hold so that it can be looked through before he landed back down and took off his armor.
-[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3The first thing Blastwave, Moth and Ball notice is the practically solid wall of red blips in the direction of the interior of the building, to the point that the 'friendly' blips are hard to make out.
+07[12:07] * +Mercury lands on Blastwave.
-[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3The second thing is that the Skytank is only about 240ft out and coming towards the tower quickly, with four of the troopers already pulling ahead.
+07[12:08] * +Blastwave is covered in bitches... well this is new
-04[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo is heading down the stairs with Clipped, Torch, Moth, Ball and the wounded recon mare, the appearance of which was assumed by Alias.
+07[12:10] * +Mercury is at the table downstairs.
-[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Mercury is just outside the door, while Blastwave is just inside the building.
+07[12:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is with Clipped_Cantle
-[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 10[1 RP action each, before proceeding to combat-time]
+07[12:11] * +Blastwave is actually dragging a mattress down into the cargo hold where the group keeps their supplies and undead personal
-07[01:46] * +Mercury RUNS IN THE DOOR TO AVOID THE LASERS!
+07[12:12] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns and limps belowdecks. She stops when she sees Mercury and tilts her head. "You haven't drank the potion... What's up?"
-07[01:47] * +Blastwave waits until Mercury runs through and follows her, dropping a mine at the bottom of the first landing
+15[12:13] * +Kirengo looks up as Blastwave starts to come through the door. He walks over towards him. "Lemme help."
-15[01:48] * +Kirengo running running running down the stairs trying to put as many floors between him and the Enclave as possible.
+07[12:13] * +Mercury watches Blastwave dragging off a bed from the corner of her eye. She glances over to Clipped_Cantle. "I'll live..."
-[01:48] <+Blastwave> "Bloodwings fucking everywhere!"
+07[12:15] * +Blastwave shakes his head, "It's fine, I got it."
-07[01:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer has no idea what's going on and is staying put because that's the plan
+07[12:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks at Mercury "You'll live. But you will be in pain until you are healed."
-04[01:50] * +Clipped_Cantle is heading down the stairs behind Kirengo, shaking her head. This went to shit right quick. "Fuck! How many?"
+07[12:16] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and limps over to the table, sitting down across from Mercury. "Yeah, probably, but you're still hurt real bad..." She reaches out a hoof toward the mare. "Here, let me help. Need to get some blood in you, too..."
-07[01:51] * +Alias is still laying and pretending to be unconscious
+15[12:17] * +Kirengo steps to the side to let Blastwave through and rubs his head with a hoof. "Alright..."
-07[01:51] * +Alias watches as Mercury runs past, avoiding enemy fire
+07[12:18] * +Blastwave ahas and chucks the mattress on the floor the right side up. "Perfect."
-[01:51] <+Blastwave> "Too many!"
+07[12:19] * +Mercury scoots back a little. "Do I need to?"
-[01:52] <~Zeph|GM> 3~~~COMBAT~~~
+15[12:20] * +Kirengo walks after Blastwave then unceremoniously flops down onto it. "Thanks."
-15[01:52] * +Kirengo goes super saiyan?
+04[12:21] * +Blastwave waits until Kirengo looks comfortable then flops down beside him and drags his forelegs around the zebras neck. "I'm so glad you're okay!
-[01:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3The skytank has stopped firing, since Mercury has gotten inside and four of the troopers pull ahead with one coming a short distance after, charging into the building one at a time. Two of them are equipped with the same quad-beam saddle as Moth and Ball and the two other visible ones wield dual laser rifles.
+07[12:22] * +Clipped_Cantle lets her hoof drop with a sigh, then nods. "You really do, Mercury. You had as many of those beasts on you as I did, and you didn't have the benefit of this." She taps her armor. "You're lucky you're still conscious... those things had to of drained you badly." She closes her eyes. "Hell, I'm a little lightheaded myself."
-07[01:57] * +Alias continues to play dead and hopes that one of the enclave officers either recognizes her or stops to check on one of 'their own', which would provide her the opportunity to be taken back up to the roof to inform the alicorn.
+07[12:23] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer runs a hoof through Clipped_Cantle's mane gently "She is right Mercury. And she knows what she is talking about. There is a reason she is a medic."
-[01:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3The four Troopers don't check on Alias. If she was able to listen in on comms, she would know that the one following behind would check on her once he arrives.
+15[12:24] * +Kirengo is taken a bit by surprise, but doesn't fight the hug. "Nothing a night's sleep won't fix..." He blinks then brings his own forehoof up to Blastwave's foreleg. "You okay?"
-07[02:00] * +Alias continues to wait
+07[12:25] * +Mercury is blanced enough to be more pink than red. She sighs and flops down on the table. "Do what you need to. Never argue with your CO and never argue with your medic."
-07[02:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's player is half dead, and doesn't know exactly what to do so Moonlight`s_Shimmer stays there for right now
+04[12:25] * +Blastwave sighs and looks at Kirengo, "Yeah, I guess. I mean my homeland just blew up, so that kind of sucks, but I'm just glad you're alright." he shakes his head, "You had like, fifteen of them on you, I thought for sure..."
-04[02:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch, Moth and Ball, hurry down the stairs alongside Kirengo and Clipped_Cantle, stopping abruptly after 45AP of movement as they shout a warning: Where they are, the stairwell ends without even a landing, leading into a massive cavern that spans several floors. This is where the bloodwing's blips come from and the room is teeming with the screeching horrors, a hole in the floor on the...
+07[12:28] * +Clipped_Cantle opens her eyes and smiles at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then looks to Mercury. "Thanks... it's annoying when patients fight... think they know better than their doc." She chuckles. "First off, let's get that potion in you. Let me see it."
-[02:10] <~Zeph|GM> ...other side of the room letting in a little dim daylight.
+07[12:28] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and watches Clipped_Cantle work
-07[02:15] * +Blastwave runs the fuck downstairs and waits with everyone as he can't do anything really
+15[12:29] * +Kirengo "Only one actually got to me." He brings his other forehoof down and pokes at his ribs where it had bitten him. "I managed to fight the rest off." He shifts a bit in the hug to get a better look at Blastwave's face.
-04[02:22] <~Zeph|GM> 3The sound of the combined screeching is of ear-splitting, bone-rattling volume as the swarm of flying abominations descend on Kirengo and Torch and her squad.
+07[12:29] * +Mercury bats the potion across the table to Clipped_Cantle with a fetlock.
-04[02:39] <~Zeph|GM> 3The bloodwings falling upon Kirengo attempt to bite and tear at him, but the ferocious zebra buck fends them off for the most part, receiving little more than a small puncture in his ribs for all their effort.
+07[12:30] * +Blastwave does not have a good looking face, Abort, abort. "Yeah, I thought I saw, but it was hard to tell." he looks at where the wound was, "Does it hurt, do you need anything?"
-07[02:43] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's eyes go wide as she can clearly make out the sound of the bloodwings waking up, and she barely manages to keep her cool, realizing that the plan was far from how it was originally intended to be going
+07[12:31] * +Clipped_Cantle picks up the potion and holds it out for Mercury to drink. "It's weird... never really understood why, but healing potions always work a lot, lot better when I administer them. I mean, yeah, I know where to put it so that helps... but it's more than that. Eh, well, you'll see. Drink up."
-04[02:44] <~Zeph|GM> 3The two blodwings attacking the mare on Kirengo's back are more fortunate in their feeding, one of them managing to latch onto her as it begins to feed, eliciting screams of horror and pain.
+15[12:34] * +Kirengo was more going for the eyes than just the face. "The potion sealed it up... I'm just a bit messed up because of having my blood sucked out of my body." He pauses and glances between Blastwave and the sky overhead that could be seen through the open cargo hatch. "I thought you lived over Trottingham."
-[02:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3The bloodwings attack Torch and her squad mostly without any effect, but one of them manages to land a lucky hit in-between where Ball Lightning's right leg meets her chest, beginning to feed on the power armored soldier.
+07[12:35] * +Blastwave "You didn't live in freindship city, right?"
-15[02:49] * +Kirengo shrugs the recon mare off and takes a step back. "Blast, now would be the time for explosives!"
+07[12:35] * +Mercury drinks the potion and thinks it would make a little more sense to apply it to the wounds for exta boons.
-07[02:50] * +Blastwave "My name is blastwave, and explosives are always the best answer!'
+15[12:35] * +Kirengo "No..."
-07[02:53] * +Mercury runs down to Blastwave and holds with her little pistole.
+07[12:36] * +Blastwave "I'm guessing it still felt like shit to see what happened to it?"
-[02:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3A lone bloodwing falls upon Mercury as she comes up by Blastwave, sinking it's teeth into her chest as it begins to feed.
+15[12:36] * +Kirengo "Well yeah..."
-07[03:00] * +Blastwave is ignored... wait, did he even have blood?
+07[12:37] * +Blastwave sighs and looks over at the sky, "Yeah." he scowls, "I'm not sure how I feel about it..."
-07[03:00] * +Mercury screams as she is bit.
+15[12:39] * +Kirengo looks back up as Blastwave does. "All I see is the sky." A very, very beautiful blue sky.
-07[03:04] * +Clipped_Cantle moves down the stairs and fires on the bloodwing feeding on Mercury. "Fuck fuck FUCK!"
+07[12:41] * +Blastwave "It's not all sky, I could see clouds when I got a good look, but how much was destroyed?" He shakes his head, "I... withold judgement until I know the extent of the damage..."
-[03:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped_Cantle's shot hits the abomination's wing and turns it into brightly glowing dust as the creature screeches and detaches from Mercury as a result.
+07[12:41] * +Clipped_Cantle watches Mercury's wounds, then nods. Didn't quite fix up her body, but some food and rest would take care of the rest, no need to use more supplies. She sets her medical bag down and pulls out a pair blood packs and some surgical tubing. "And now for this part. If you want to, you can go lie down on a bed. Get comfortable."
-[03:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Two of the monstrous bats fall upon Clipped_Cantle, sinking their teeth into the small mare's chest and hindleg, although she puts up enough of a fight to fend off their attempts to feed and latch on successfully.
+07[12:43] * +Mercury takes a deep breath and walks over to one of the beds, stripping out of her uniform as she goes.
-07[03:15] * +Clipped_Cantle screams out a curse.
+07[12:44] * +Mercury flops into the bed.
-04[03:27] <~Zeph|GM> 3The remainder of the bloodwings swirl around the room, a /huge/ specimen visible further away, which Kirengo can identify easily as a broodmother.
+15[12:44] * +Kirengo "Damage... to what, the farms? Why can't they just farm down here?"
-[03:27] <~Zeph|GM> 3The tank has manages to make it's way to the edge of the building and has slowed down, hovering as it's guns sweep back and forth.
+07[12:46] * +Blastwave looks over, "Well yes, and maybe I'll like it, but irradiated soil brings irradiated crops." he sighs. "And to the cities, civilian cities. If they'red untouched... it'd be better that way."
-07[03:31] * +Blastwave uses his leftover AP to huck a HE greande at the nearby exit wall and prays
+07[12:47] * +Clipped_Cantle carries the blood packs and tubing over to Mercury, then sets the mare up with an IV to get the pegasus some blood back. "There, with that, some food, and a night's rest you should be golden, Mercury. Just take it easy, alright?"
-06[03:32] * +Alias ([email protected]) has left #Space_RP
+07[12:49] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns.
-[03:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3The grenade does what it does best and explodes violently, blasting Clipped_Cantle and Mercury back a bit from Blastwave's blastwave as a one-pony-sized hole is blown into the corner of the stairwell in a large cloud of concrete splinters and dust. The hole has two bent metal bars running though it, that look like they won't hold up to much anymore.
+07[12:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer drapes a wing over Clipped_Cantle and nuzzles her "You need to heal yourself as well."
-[03:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Troopers upstairs start rushing downwards towards the sound of the explosion, holding off around the corner as they see the hole in the wall. [20AP each left. Not within vision. PER-1 to notice them over the screeching.]
+15[12:50] * +Kirengo "Irradiated crops are still miles better than what we have..." He swallows and shakes his head slightly. Now probably wasn't the time for a debate like that. He looks back to Blastwave. "You know what?"
-[03:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3The lagging behind trooper sets down by Alias. [Pause after this turn.]
+04[12:50] * +Blastwave blinks and looks back over to Kirengo, "What?"
-[04:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3Should they come into vision, it should be easy to detect that two of the troopers have what looks like blackened and hurt left wings.
+15[12:51] * +Kirengo has a tiny smile play across his lips. "You being all huggy and worried about me is kind of endearing."
-07[04:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is tired of sitting around and listening to ponies scream in perile, so she decides to, as quickly and sneakily as possible, fly around the tank and put the bomb on it, looking for a suitable spot to do so while the enclave is distracted by everything else ever
+07[12:52] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and looks over the mare, yawning again. Thank Celestia she was ok. "Yeah... yeah. Now that everyone's at least on the way..." She pulls another healing potion from her bags and downs it, sighing in relief as the pain leaves her.
-[04:08] <~Zeph|GM> 3The tank is heavily armored on all sides and there are two hatches on this large model of it: One on each side and one large one on the back of the vehicle, where presumably the gun would be unloaded from. The front of the tank, where the pilots are, or the inside seem like the safest bets to reliably take it down.
+07[12:52] * +Blastwave blushes a little and flusters, "W-what, but. Of course I was, you were being /eaten/, and if that doesn't warrent being worried...'
-[04:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is also one Enclave Trooper flying over the tank in large circles, but she hasn't noticed Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
+07[12:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer wraps her forelegs around Clipped_Cantle and hugs her "We were so worried...when we saw the explosion...and then the bloodwings...the whole time we were gone we could only think about you..."
-07[04:11] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer puts the bomb in the place where it most likely will blow up the tank, yay 10 INT?
+15[12:55] * +Kirengo smiles a bit more. "It does... It's just nice to know... or see." He starts trying to remember what Blast had called his new cheek scar.
-[04:14] <~Zeph|GM> Moonlight`s_Shimmer lodges the bomb between the front and center of the tank, presuming the blast would hit the cockpit. What do, now? If she leaves the bomb will be visible. She needs a way to signal Blastwave and needs it badly.
+07[12:56] * +Blastwave had called is dashing, "Well, you werenever in danger before. You have a tendency to explode the heads of your enemeys..."
-[04:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moonlight`s_Shimmer lodges the bomb between the front and center of the tank, presuming the blast would hit the cockpit. What do, now? If she leaves the bomb will be visible. She needs a way to signal Blastwave and needs it badly.
+07[12:56] * +Clipped_Cantle leans into Moonlight`s_Shimmer and sighs. "I... yeah, thanks for that, Moon. You saved my flank."
-07[04:17] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stays with the bomb for now, holding her AP >.> while keeping an eye on the mare above the tank
+07[12:57] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "We will do everything in our power to keep you safe." she says, burrying her face in Clipped_Cantle's mane
-[04:19] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch shouts for Moth and Ball to go intercept the troopers she managed to hear coming over the screeching and starts blasting her flamer-rig at the bloodwings, sending forward four jets of super-heated, blue, magical fire at the creatures as she sweeps as much of the remaining bloodwings as she can with her limited range.
+07[12:58] * +Mercury nods to Clipped_Cantle and watches her IV, getting a little color back.
-04[04:22] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is a wave of heat, even behind her, that can be felt by Blastwave, Kirengo, Mercury and Clipped_Cantle as the flames practically melt roughly twenty of the beasts the come too close to the beams and severely burn others.
+07[12:59] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and closes her eyes. "I'll do the same for you..." She pauses. "...which reminds me... when we left the base... what was that?"
-[04:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth and Ball skid around the corner to meet the oncoming Enclave Troopers, firing their weapons at the trooper's heads as fast as they can, using their SATS, that they had saved for this occurrence, as they are immediately returned fire upon.
+15[12:59] * +Kirengo chuckles. "Yeah... but if I always did that, how could I get sma- er, dashing scars?" He says that like he doesn't believe the scar is very dashing, but he's trying to cheer Blast up.
-06[04:25] * Mercury is now known as Mercury_Drone
+07[13:00] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer tilts her head a bit at Clipped_Cantle "What was what?"
-06[04:26] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer is now known as Shadow|Sleepytyme
+[13:01] <+Clipped_Cantle> "You... did something. Magic... I felt it and... well, I still feel it sort of... you said 'We will always be with you', then we took off."
-13[04:28] * +Shadow|Sleepytyme ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: We stopped looking for the monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside us.)
+07[13:01] * +Blastwave smiles a little bit, "Well, I suppose. It is very dashing." He smirks at it. "I have to wonder if they shot you there on purpose. It's the perfect pot. It makes you look badass, but doesn't mar your handsome face."
-[04:33] <~Zeph|GM> 3One one of the blasts from Moth and Ball actually does some real damage against the armor, piercing into the helmet of one of the troopers and cooking the left side of his face with the pink beam. The pony jumps back and flaps around the corner as he is hit, screaming metallically.
+15[13:03] * +Kirengo "Now you're just making stuff up."
-[04:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth's head is to his good fortune only grazed by the burning beams, while Ball isn't as fortunate, receiving a face full of lasers, causing her to curse at the damage.
+07[13:04] * +Blastwave looks shocked and aghast, "Would I do that?"
-07[04:39] * +Blastwave has had it with these motherfucking bloodwings in this mother fucking building! He starts tis patented strafing run throwing one grenade at the wall top open it, one at the broodmother because fuck her, and the other five across the cavern trying to his at many as gorram possible
+15[13:04] * +Kirengo nods silently.
-[04:42] <+Blastwave> "Fuck you everything ever!"
+07[13:04] * +Blastwave "Well this time it's the truth."
-04[04:46] <~Zeph|GM> 3The broodmother lets out and ear-splitting screech as Blastwave's near-perfectly place HE grenades wipe out almost the entire brood, save for the 16, or so that are directly by Kirengo, Blastwave, etc and grievously wound her.
+15[13:04] * +Kirengo narrows his eyes slightly. "And how can I believe you?"
-[04:46] <~Zeph|GM> 3The weakened and damaged wall is blown open in another shower of dust and shards of concrete, opening the way to the dim outside with the one-and-only universal key to every door, or not-door for that matter: Explosions.
+07[13:04] * +Mercury rolls the other way. This sounded private.
-[05:03] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~SESSION 10 - 2 END~~~
+07[13:05] * +Blastwave blushes, "I don't know..."
 15[13:06] * +Kirengo raises an eyebrow and waits for an answer.
 07[13:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "Oh...it is a spell we learned recently...it allows us to...'bond', with individuals we feel strongly for, and that feel strongly for us. Friends, for example. Ponies like you. As long as the individuals in the bond feel strongly for each other, we can cast spells on them as if they are touching us, even if they are far away."
 07[13:07] * +Blastwave humms and hawws. How to let the crazy zebra know he has a good looking scar. What a difficult proposal, if only there was some way...
 07[13:08] * +Clipped_Cantle blink blink blinks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer's explanation, then sighs. "Right... okay... I uh... well, alright..." She frowns a little and looks at the floor.
 15[13:08] * +Kirengo huffs softly. "Weeeeeeeeeeeell?"
 04[13:09] * +Blastwave can't think of a good enough answer so just kisses Kirengo. There. Problem solved.
 07[13:09] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle's neck "C-clipped? What is wrong?"
 15[13:10] * +Kirengo had been hoping for that the whole time, silly ghoul. He smiles after the kiss is broken. "Okay, I believe you now."
 07[13:11] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and turns to look at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "You should've asked first..."
 07[13:11] * +Blastwave was pasuing for dramatic tension. "Oh good, because if you didn't..."
 15[13:11] * +Kirengo "If I didn't, what?"
 07[13:12] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks at the floor sadly and droops her ears "W-we are sorry! W-we did not think you would mind..."
 07[13:12] * +Blastwave blinks and blushes, "There are other ways of convicing you." Eyebrow waggles
 07[13:12] * +Mercury drops her ears to her head. Even with blood loss, she knew she should not be hearing this.
 07[13:13] * +Clipped_Cantle reaches up a hoof to touch Moonlight`s_Shimmer's cheek. "I don't... I wouldn't have. I would've said yes... but you should have at least given me the choice, Moon."
 15[13:16] * +Kirengo giggles and snuggles into the ghoul. "Hold me down and buck me 'til I believed you?"
 07[13:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues staring at the floor "W-we thought it might help you...w-with your fear of flying maybe...w-we were not sure b-but...we...are sorry..."
 07[13:16] * +Blastwave blushes bright red but always accept snuggles, "I, er, well.... yes, but you ruined my innuendo!"
 15[13:17] * +Kirengo "Sorry, next time I won't state the obvious."
 07[13:18] * +Blastwave laughs, "Sorry, you just... er, took me by surprise."
 15[13:20] * +Kirengo shrugs and shifts around again so his back is up against Blastwave's belly. "That's sort of funny to imagine, actually. You trying to hold me down at all."
 04[13:20] * +Blastwave draps a leg over Kirengo and snuggles him, "Oh? Is that a challenge?"
 15[13:22] * +Kirengo laughs softly again. "I don't know. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.
 15[13:22] <+Kirengo> "
 07[13:22] * +Clipped_Cantle rubs her eyes with a hoof and sighs. She didn't mean to make Moon sad... "And... it did. It did, I felt a lot safer, Moon. It's alright, I'm... I'm not upset. Just... things like that... it's my body, you know? My life. I should have a say in what's done to it, if possible." She nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "I trust you, Moon. I do. If I didn't I wouldn't have waited to ask about it, and if...
 07[13:22] * +Clipped_Cantle ...you had asked /me/ I would've said yes without hesitating even a little. Point is with something like that you need to ask permission first. I love you, Moon, and I'm happy to share this... bond... with you. Just... in the future, if you go to use something like this on someone else... ask first. Make sure they are ok with it, alright?"
 07[13:25] * +Mercury sighs and rolls out of bed. She grabs her IV with her wing and wheels it to the stairs.
 07[13:26] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods slowly, "O-okay..." she looks back down at Clipped_Cantle and smiles a little bit...she looks over her body and can't help but think about how beautiful Clipped is...she then blinks as she sees Mercury heads out of the room out of the corner of her eye
 04[13:27] * +Blastwave smirks a little and gets up quickly trying to catch Kiren by surprise and pin him on his back. No way this could go wrong
 07[13:29] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and looks over at Mercury. "Hey, where're you going? You need to re-" She pauses. "Ah, shit. I'm sorry. Tell you to rest and then flap my lips right next to your bed..." She sighs and rubs her eyes again. "Sorry, sorry. I'm tired, not thinking straight. Lie back down, Mercury. Please." She looks back at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and catches her roaming eye, then blushes a little.
 15[13:31] * +Kirengo blinks as he is suddenly pinned on his back. "Woah, quick for a ghoul." He smirks back up at Blastwave. "But..." His muscles tense and he gives a small grunt as he tries to reverse the situation through sheer strength.
 04[13:32] * +Blastwave acts as he is suddenly flipped onto his back and staring up at Kiren. Damn that buck is strong, "Well... this did not go as planned."
 07[13:34] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and begins to run a wing through Clipped_Cantle's mane, and she begins to blush some as she notices Clipped catching her eyes scanning her
 07[13:34] * +Mercury rubs her face with her fetlock. "Yes ma'am..." She stops and trudges back to the bed. She looks over to the grappling stallions and then back to Moonlight`s_Shimmer's wandering eyes. She readdresses Clipped_Cantle. "I'm sorry, but I don't think so." She goes back to the stairs. "I'll take the blood with me."
 15[13:34] * +Kirengo giggles and drops his head down. "Didn't it?" He leans his head down further and loosens up his grip on Blastwave as he closes his eyes and kisses the ghoul.
 15[13:36] <+Kirengo> 3 The door to the cargo hold is totally closed now.
 07[13:36] * +Blastwave decides that this was a much better plan than the one he thought of so he leans up and kisses his stallion. The thoughts of giant bats, and exploded cities were, for the moment, gone.
 07[13:39] * +Clipped_Cantle looks back at Mercury and shakes her head. "No, you lie down and rest. Me and Moon can leave. You're the injured one here. You take priority."
 07[13:43] * +Mercury groans and looks back over her shoulder. "...fine." She goes back and sits on her bed.
 15[13:43] * +Kirengo slips his tongue into the ghoul's mouth and caresses Blastwave's with his own. An hour ago he thought he might die today. Half an hour ago he was pretty certain of it. Twenty minutes ago he had known it for a fact. But now here he was... passionately kissing his... coltfriend?
 07[13:46] * +Clipped_Cantle heads toward the stairs, gesturing for Moonlight`s_Shimmer to follow. "Thanks again, Mercury. You need anything, just shout. Going to go up on the bow, I think."
 04[13:46] * +Blastwave gives a very slight moan of approval and lets Kiren explore his mouth for a little bit before pushing back so he could slip his own tongue into Kirengo's mouth. All in all, it was a much better than mourning Kirengo, which he was fairly sure was going to happen when he saw the bats swarm the zebra buck. Maybe the Bloodwings wanted their wings back
 07[13:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles at Mercury "Rest well." she then turns to follow Clipped_Cantle up to the bow. Yes she's staring at her backside.
 07[13:50] * +Clipped_Cantle sits on the bow and raises her muzzle to the sky. The clear, blue sky. She closes her eyes and takes in the warmth of direct sunlight, having not really felt it before. Too much chaos, too many wounded. She doesn't even notice Moonlight`s_Shimmer staring at her plot, this time.
 07[13:50] * +Mercury lays down in her bed.
 15[13:51] * +Kirengo keeps up the kiss for a good long while, then slowly pulls back, running his lips across Blastwave's tongue as it comes back out of his mouth. "We doing this?"
 07[13:52] * +Blastwave is a little flush from the kiss and a bit light headed, but to his eternal surprise he nods, "Yeah, if you're ready." So much for dramatic tension.
 07[13:52] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sits down next to Clipped_Cantle and looks up at the sky with her, draping a wing over her "It is a very nice change of view..."
 07[13:54] * +Clipped_Cantle leans against Moonlight`s_Shimmer and nods. "Yeah, it is... it's so... blue. So very, very blue..."
 07[13:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and lets out a small sigh, closing her eyes and basking in the sun with her marefriend "This is very nice..."
 07[14:01] * +Clipped_Cantle rests her cheek against Moonlight`s_Shimmer's shoulder and nods. "Yeah... I wonder what the buck happened. Went down in the building, there were clouds. There was some kind of shockwave, and then the clouds were gone when I came out..."
 [14:03] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We are not sure..." she sighs "The pegasi will be very upset over this though..." she runs her magic through Clipped_Cantle's mane
 15[14:03] * +Kirengo takes a few deep breaths then nods. "Yeah." He reverses the position again, rolling onto his back and pulling Blastwave back on top of him.
 15[14:05] <+Kirengo> Presumably back onto the mattress.
 07[14:05] * +Blastwave is fairly sure the mattress would be helpful, and then kisses his buck again, because everyone loves ghoul kisses!
 07[14:06] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and relaxes against Moonlight`s_Shimmer, yawning and feeling really sleepy from the mane-brushing. "Mhm... Enclave lost a lot fr-" She stops and blinks her eyes open. "Oh, shit... not this again." She glances toward the stairs and sighs. "Hope she's stronger than Precious..."
 07[14:09] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and continues to brushie Clipped_Cantle "We think she is...we hope Blastwave is as well..." she leans down and nuzzle Clipped_Cantle "You are tired, we should go lay down."
 [14:09] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> nuzzles*
 07[14:11] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns again and nods. "Alright... guess taking a nap until we get to Bucklyn wouldn't be a bad idea... but then we got work to do." She sighs and droops a little. "Again." Another yawn makes her jaw pop.
 07[14:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kisses Clipped_Cantle's cheek "We will help you to the best of our ability if we can."
 07[14:16] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and turns to look at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Thanks, Moon, and I'll do the same for you." She smiles and leans in to kiss the alicorn, whispering "Thank you, again. For saving me." before moving to press her lips into her marefriend's.
 07[14:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks, a bit surprised at Clipped's last words, then just smiles and kisses Clipped_Cantle, mmmming and swirling her tongue in Clipped's mouth after a minute, enjoying the taste of her marefriend
 07[14:22] * +Clipped_Cantle gently caresses Moonlight`s_Shimmer's tongue with her own, staring into the alicorn's... whatever color they are... eyes and snuggling against her, her body as relaxed as it possibly can be without lying down.
 15[14:24] <+Kirengo> (They're yellow)
 07[14:26] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer has yellow eyes. She stares back into Clipped's eyes and wraps both of her wings around Clipped_Cantle's neck for the duration of the kiss, she eventually pulls back and kisses Clipped on the nose "We will always be here for you Clipped...and will always attempt to save you if you are in trouble..."
 07[14:34] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and nods, pressing her nose into the alicorn's. "And I you, Moon." She just hoped her help was never needed... the most likely way she would have to help means Moon would be hurt... She rubs her nose against the mare's and gives her another small, quick kiss. "Just wish I had more to protect you with."
 07[14:39] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kisses back "And we wish the same thing...even with all of our abilities...there is only so much we can do to ensure your safety..."
 07[14:43] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and brings a hoof up to stroke Moonlight`s_Shimmer's mane. "Limited or not... watching eachother's backs helps a lot." She grins. "And I definitely like that view."
 07[14:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and blushes a bit "We love the view..."
 07[14:48] * +Clipped_Cantle blushes a little and yawns again. "My view's better... still don't get why you think I'm pretty. Even Maribel didn't like me for my looks." She blinks and winces. Fucking brain to mouth filter.
 07[14:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "Mari..?" she blinks then just wraps her forelegs and wings around Clipped_Cantle and hugs her tight "We are so sorry Clipped..."
 07[14:53] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and shakes her head, nuzzling Moonlight`s_Shimmer's chest. "No, no. I'm sorry... not... fair of me. It's... I've..." She sighs again. "Don't... don't worry about it. I've... I've got you now, I'm more than happy... I shouldn't keep... bringing her up. Over and done with... she..." Her voice drops to a mumble. "...would want me to let go... find someone else..." She closes her eyes and...
 07[14:53] * +Clipped_Cantle ...takes a deep breath. What happened? She was over this... why was it coming back now?
 07[14:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle "We are so sorry...we did not mean t-to remind you of her...please...let us know if there is anything...anything we can do to help..."
 07[14:58] * +Clipped_Cantle presses herself into Moonlight`s_Shimmer. Stop it! This isn't fair to Moon, she shouldn't have to ride backseat to a dead mare... no matter how much you loved her. Quit being a bitch! "You're... already doing it... just... hold me. I'm sorry too..."
 07[15:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer just holds Clipped_Cantle...not knowing of anything else she can do "You do not have to be sorry Clipped..." she nuzzles Clipped's cheek and closes her eyes, leaning her head against her's.
 07[15:08] * +Clipped_Cantle takes in a deep, shuddering breath and lets it out slowly. "You're a good pony, Moon... such a good pony. Don't know what I did to deserve you, but whatever it was I couldn't be happier I did." She nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "It'll... I'll..." She's interrupted by a yawn. "What is it about me you like so much? Looks wise? I'm..." She furrows her brow and spits out her next word. "...short....
 07[15:08] * +Clipped_Cantle ...And stocky, and..." She shrugs.
 07[15:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle again and kisses her cheek, then runs her muzzle down Clipped's mane "Your mane..." down to the side of her neck "Your neck..." down to her chest which she nuzzles "Your chest..." she looks back down into Clipped's eyes and runs a hoof across her cheek tenderly "Your face..." she runs a wingtip down each of Clipped's sides "We love everything about you..." she
 07[15:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer burries her face in Clipped's mane and inhales deeply with her nose "The way you smell..." her wingtips stop at Clipped's flanks and Moon blushes a bit "A-and...your...uhm" she eeps "Y-your...b-backside..."
 07[15:23] * +Mercury gets up and drags her IV over to the bathroom.
 07[15:31] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks. A lot. She shivers, a light blush forming when Moonlight`s_Shimmer runs her muzzle down her neck and nuzzles her chest. Looking back into the alicorn's eyes, she leans her cheek into the mare's hoof and smiles. Her blush intensifies and she shivers again when Moon's wings trail down her sides and the alicorn takes in her scent. By the time the mare's wings touch her flanks and she...
 07[15:32] * +Clipped_Cantle ...speaks those final words her face felt as if it were on fire, a small eep escaping her throat from the feeling. There was... Moon wouldn't... She was telling the truth... she just... found her attractive. She didn't understand /why/... but that didn't matter. "I... uh... er... see. Uh..." Her blush intensifies more. The buck? They'd done the dirty several times now... why was she blushing...
 07[15:32] * +Clipped_Cantle ...like a filly from this? "Y-you... your... uh... I like that... you like... me. Uh..." Idiot. "Shit."
 07[15:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blushes a bit more and chuckles a little "And we like that you like us as well..." her blush intensifies "C-can you tell us w-why you like us so much...? Or...w-we have a feeling it...is similar to what we just s-said..."
 07[15:43] * +Clipped_Cantle blurts out. "Very similar! I mean, look at you! Your mane is gorgeous, how it flows and shimmers and... your tail does it too! And your face is so pretty and delicate, your whole body is! It's so soft and has all the curves in all the right places and... and... your legs are so long and pretty and..." Her blush has been slowly building throughout this whole outburst, and her voice starts to...
 07[15:43] * +Clipped_Cantle ...devolve into a squeak. "And your... your flanks are... they're..." The squeaking gets higher and higher pitched. "...so curvy and supple and firm..." Her voice starts to choke off with the squeaks "...and yet still so soft like everything else and..." And there it goes. Nothing else but incoherent squeaks come from her mouth for several seconds before she just gives up and shuts up.

 07[15:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and just holds Clipped_Cantle as her face turns completely red "W-we...d-did not think w-we w...w-were..." she just eeps and can't seem to form words, she burries her muzzle in Clipped's mane and manages to squeak out after a moment "We love you!"

 07[15:52] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and hugs Moonlight`s_Shimmer with her forelegs as best she can in this position, nuzzling the mare's neck. After a moment she clears her throat and swallows. "I love you too! You're the best thing that's happened to me in years."
 07[15:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Clipped_Cantle and nuzzles her back "We are...certain...that you are the best thing to happen to us...ever..."
 07[16:00] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and just leans into her marefriend, oblivious to the world around her for the moment. Blue sky? Not as beautiful as the mare next to her. Wasteland? It can wait a bit. For now, she was enjoying this moment.
 07[16:07] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kisses Clipped's forehead and starts up a massage on Clipped's shoulders with her magic, forgetting about everything else right now. Clipped_Cantle>Everything else ever. Nothing mattered to her more than this mare...she closes her eyes and holds Clipped tighter
 07[16:16] * +Clipped_Cantle melts into Moonlight`s_Shimmer, her body relaxing completely, and yawns again. If Moon hadn't been hugging her and holding on to her she would've melted straight to the floor. She plants several small kisses on the alicorn's chest and neck, then presses the top of her head into the crook of the alicorn's chin and throat. Her tail swishes around, searching for Moonlight`s_Shimmer's own to...
 07[16:16] * +Clipped_Cantle ...entwine them together.
 07[16:17] * +Mercury comes back out of the bathroom, wiping her mouth with a groan. She glances back in the main room, but thinks better of it. She sets the IV by the engine and stretches out her wing.
 07[16:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer finds Clipped_Cantle's tail swishing into her's and entwines it with her own, wrapping the rest of her tail around Clipped_Cantle, kissing Clipped's forehead again...while hoping that Clipped would fall asleep...she needed rest. And she could move her to the bed easily and gently. As Clipped tucks her head under Moon's neck, Moon completely wraps her wings around Clipped, running them
 07[16:25] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and forth across her sides tenderly, she begins to hum something.
 07[16:28] * +Clipped_Cantle mumbles sleepily. "What's... that? Sounds... nice..." She yawns and snuggles into Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
 07[16:31] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "We...are not sure...but...we remember it somehow...it soothes us...in a way."
 07[16:32] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is humming this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3wp2VVhKQ
 07[16:34] * +Mercury spreads her wing and looks up at the ceiling. She starts flapping her wing slowly and stretches up on her tippy toes. “Come on, come on, come on…” She flaps faster and faster, leaning forward… until she falls over, panting.
 07[16:35] * +Clipped_Cantle nods into Moonlight`s_Shimmer throat. "Mhm... soothing... it's..." She yawns again and sighs.
 07[16:41] * +Mercury curls up with a sigh and glairs at her wing. "Useless..." She tries to get some sleep.
 07[16:42] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues to hum, and lifts Clipped_Cantle up in her magic and her wings /very/ slowly, and begins to rock her back and forth a little bit, nuzzling her cheek and her chest tenderly, as she begins to sing softly "Come little children...I'll take thee away, into a land of enchaantment..."
 07[16:58] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks her eyes open in surprise as she's lifted and looks around, confused and a little frightened. Then Moonlight`s_Shimmer starts rocking, nuzzling, and singing and the fear melts away. She yawns and closes her eyes, smiling and listening to the song.
 04[17:07] * +Blastwave and Kirengo walk into the main crew area, and looks around for Mercury
 15[17:08] * +Kirengo totally does that.
 04[17:08] * +Blastwave controls Kirengo, with his mind!
 07[17:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues to nuzzle Clipped_Cantle's chest as she continues to sing "Come little children, the times come to play, here in our garden of shaaaadows..." as Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes Moonlight`s_Shimmer's smiles grows. She continues to sing the song til it ends, nuzzling her tenderly and rocking her slowly throughout the whole thing "...our garden of shaaaaaAAAdoooooowss..." she
 07[17:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer finishes off with the OOooOOoOooo part then smiles down at the mare in her wings...the beautiful mare...her mare...
 07[17:11] * +Mercury in in the engine room and not vissible from the main room.
 15[17:11] * +Kirengo "Figure she went to the deck or to the bathroom?"
 07[17:11] * +Blastwave "Maybe, check the bathroom first, it's closer." he walks that way
 15[17:13] * +Kirengo follows.
 07[17:14] * +Mercury is curled on the floor, by her IV.
 07[17:15] * +Blastwave sits down beside her, "Merc, you okay?"
 15[17:16] * +Kirengo winces as he sees Mercury and stands off just to the side and watches Blastwave.
 04[17:18] * +Mercury lets out a little yawn and looks up at Blastwave and Kirengo. "Fine... You have a nice afternoon?"
 07[17:20] * +Blastwave coughs into his hoof, "Yes, we spent it... talking. I mean, with the cloud cover, you seemed upset before..."
 07[17:22] * +Clipped_Cantle snuggles into Moonlight`s_Shimmer's chest with a smile on her face, her breathing becoming deep, even, and steady in sleep.
 07[17:23] * +Mercury looks down to her hooves. "Well, a lot of our home, probably including all the pups, my friends and instructors at Neighvaro, have just been destroyed by the things that have been keeping us alive for two centuries... So, yeah, a little upset."
 15[17:25] * +Kirengo opens his mouth to speak but quickly shuts it again.
 07[17:29] * +Blastwave "There's no way to know what the causality count. Maybe the clearign avoided the cities and farms?"
 07[17:31] * +Mercury shakes her head. "Even so... every tower had a farm, and we know Neighvaro was lost. No ther way for whoever did this to pull it off. That alone is upsetting."
 07[17:32] * +Blastwave blinks, "Neighvaro was lost?"
 15[17:32] * +Kirengo furrows his brow.
 15[17:32] * +Kirengo has no idea what Neighvarro is, but if the Enclave losing it made the clouds go away, he can't possibly imagine how that can be bad or upsetting.
 07[17:34] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer starts to hum softly once again as she looks down at the mare in her wings and just smiles as she finally falls asleep. Moonlight`s_Shimmer couldn't be happier than she is right now, with Clipped in her wings...she felt so good...knowing that her marefriend trusts her enough...that she loved her enough...she stands up, slowly moving Clipped to her right side, carrying her in her wing
 07[17:34] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer to the captain's cabin slowly, opening the door, stepping in and closing it quietly. She moves over to the bed and lays Clipped_Cantle down on it on her side, then slides into bed with her, laying on her side and holding Clipped to her chest, draping a wing over her and kissing her forehead. She lays there and watches Clipped_Cantle as she sleeps with a smile on her face for a little while,
 07[17:34] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer before finally drifting off to sleep herself.
 07[17:38] * +Mercury sighs. "Yeah, probably. Or at the least, badly damaged. The control center for the tower network is there and the Rangers said there would be an attack… whoever they sent must have done their job.”
 07[17:39] * +Blastwave blinks, "What makes you think the towers have anything to do with this?"

 07[17:45] * +Blastwave "Sabotaged all the towers simultaniously? It seems far-fetched. Nopony even know what those towers do." he sighs. "In either case Neighvaro was a military target during a war, it was bound to be hit."
 07[17:50] * +Mercury shakes her head. "I don't know how, but that is the only explanation I can think of, with the rings of prismatic doom that were radiating out of this one.” She looks up at Blastwave. “Bound to be hit or not, I was trained there, you were trained there. You can’t tell me there are no staff, classmates or instructors you are worried about.”
 07[17:51] * +Blastwave "Of course I'm worried, I don't want anyone to be killed."
 15[17:53] * +Kirengo "Uh..."

 07[17:57] * +Blastwave "In a perfect world no one has to die, that's what I mean. I wish it was so nopony had to die, but if it's theme Vs wasteland civilians, I'll kill them before they can kill anymore."
 15[17:58] * +Kirengo blinks. "Oh. Okay."
 07[18:02] * +Mercury drops her ears.
 07[18:04] * +Blastwave sighs, "It's all, just, ugh." he rubs the back of his head. "I don't want our home destroyed Merc. On the other hoof we style the sky and the sun and the moon from the wastelanders. We stole, and never asked. Can we really be surprised when they steal it back?"
 07[18:06] * +Mercury snorts. "It is not like they can do anything with it right now. We used it to grow food. All they can do is get sun burns in this tainted soil."

 15[18:09] * +Kirengo has suddenly found the engine very interesting to stare at. "Friendship City farmed just fine."
 15[18:09] * +Kirengo "Wasn't even irradiated."
 07[18:15] * +Mercury harumphs. "And what is going to happen to us? We have never exactly had a big buffer for food. And what do surface ponies know about farming after 200 years?"
 07[18:16] * +Blastwave "We could teach them. Well not me, but like, my sister, and the other farmers. In exchange they protect us from whatever monsters the wasteland throws at them."
 15[18:16] * +Kirengo "It ain't like we don't have an overabundance of two hundred year old food, too."
 07[18:17] * +Mercury glowers. "Protect us? Most must hate us."

I don't agree with what happened, they must have been a better way, but it /happened/ and now it can't unhappen. So we have to take what we're given and make the best of it, because going back to the sky isn't an option anymore."

 04[18:29] * +Blastwave blinks and looks over at Kirengo, "Yes?"
 15[18:29] * +Kirengo "She can make ones that give pegasus wings too."
 07[18:29] * +Blastwave "Oh, huzzah!"
 04[18:33] * +Mercury looks up at the two. If Kirengo wasn't on her shit list at the moment she would be grinning from ear to ear. Instead she just gives him a flat look. “Oh… Good to know.”

 07[18:34] * +Blastwave "Now if only there was a talisman to restor my good looks." He laughs, but it sounds more like gargling rocks. "It had to happen eventually Merc. We couldn't close them off forever, it should have happened different, but..."
 04[18:40] * +Mercury nods. "I..." She grumbles. "I know, but eventualy shoud have been a while off." She looks up to Kirengo. "I don't know the price, or if it would even be an option."
 07[18:44] * +Blastwave waves a hoof, "If there's a price I'll find /some/ way to make it up to him." he smirks. "But, I know it /should/ have been a while. But if I got a cap everytime something should have happened, I'd be rich."
 07[18:47] * +Mercury curls up tighter. "Can't even try to help..."
 07[18:48] * +Blastwave blinks, "What?"
 07[18:51] * +Mercury looks over to Blastwave and shakes her head. "Never mind."
 07[18:52] * +Blastwave smirks, "Just tell me, I want to help."
 07[18:56] * +Mercury looks over to Blastwave ad sighs. "It'll just sound selfish."
 04[18:56] * +Blastwave "I wont care, Kiren might but if you want I'll plug his ears."
 07[19:01] * +Mercury "What Torch is doing now, or what you did back in the tower. Helping..." She looks down to her hooves. "I couldn't save any of the ponies at the gun, I couldn't help you fight, I can't go to see if our home is okay..."
 07[19:01] * +Mercury drops her face into her hooves. "And I know it probably isn't the case, but I can't help but fear that if I hadn't helped you with the tower, this," she waves her wing generally above her, "may not have happened."
 07[19:03] * +Blastwave "We only touched the communications not whatever part you think made this happen, and there is still no assurance it caused it." he sighs, "And you did help. The SPP coms you helped set up let us know the cannon was coming, without it we would have been too late."
 15[19:03] * +Kirengo mumbles, "The price isn't exactly expensive..." He's quiet as he listens to everything else that's said.
 15[19:09] * +Kirengo "I... I'm confused. Are you saying the clouds should've stayed for a much longer time?"
 04[19:10] * +Mercury nods to Kirengo. "Yeah. a few more years at least."
 04[19:10] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo, "Such a suddent decrease is going to cause conflict and civil war, it should have been done slowly, over time, with more oversight."
 07[19:10] * +Mercury nods. "And not destorying farms."
 15[19:11] * +Kirengo shakes his head at Mercury. "No, I mean are you saying the clouds were a good thing and never should go away at all?"
 07[19:11] * +Blastwave "We don't know about the farms..."
 04[19:13] * +Mercury glances to Blastwave. "No way the Manehatin one withstood that blast..." She looks to Kirengo. "Not until the surface can make better use of the sun than we could, yeah."
 15[19:14] * +Kirengo starts chewing on his tongue and sits down and just looks at Blastwave.
 07[19:14] * +Blastwave "Why the heck can't we share the sun?"
 07[19:14] * +Blastwave "Why must is be us or them?"
 07[19:16] * +Blastwave "Look, it looks like to /me/ anyway not all the clouds are gone. If whoever did this had a brain they'd leave the farms and cities untouched and clear the rest. It's not ideal, but it's better than it could be."
 07[19:21] * +Mercury "Do you really think whoever did this gives two shits about our wellbeing? Anyway, as you said, what they did will cause strife, unrest and anarchy, if we are lucky, not starvation."
 07[19:23] * +Blastwave "Because some clouds are still in the sky, if whoeever it is didn't care all the clouds would be gone." he sighs, "And it might, it's not perfect because it wasn't done the right way, but it's not the end of the world."
 15[19:23] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes.
 07[19:27] * +Mercury "Or they didn't have time to finish. And it may not be the end of the world, but it may be the end of the Enclave..."
 07[19:28] * +Blastwave "Is that such a bad thing?"
 15[19:28] * +Kirengo "I thought that was kinda the point of the entire war."
 07[19:28] * +Mercury look up at Blastwave in shock. "Yes! It is our home!"
 07[19:31] * +Blastwave "The Enclave is not our home, the Enclave /rules/ our home. They fed us food and bullshit in equal order, and if anypony dared tried to help they were defamed and their families insulted. The Enclave was just the means to control the pegasi, to deny us of our choice."
 [19:31] <+Blastwave> tried to help the land below*
 15[19:32] * +Kirengo raises a hoof. "And they also shoot down, maim, and kill their own when those decide they don't want to perform genocide like the rest of the good order-following soldiers."
 06[19:34] * Shadow is now known as Shadow|LoL
 04[19:35] * +Mercury glairs between them. "We need a regime change, not anarchy.” She gives a particularly withering one to Kirengo.
 07[19:36] * +Blastwave "To get a regim change we'd need a rebellion, and that'd cause anarchy anyway. the system was corrupt, democrazy didn't work."
 15[19:36] * +Kirengo "What?! Tell me I'm wrong. Cause you know I'm right."
 04[19:37] * +Blastwave waves a hoof, "Kiren simmer down."
 15[19:39] * +Kirengo glances at Blastwave and huffs. "Yes, dear."
 04[19:41] * +Blastwave sticks his tongue out at Kirengo, "Thanks sweetie."
 07[19:42] * +Mercury gets up. "Yes, a rebellion, not a full fledged civil war.” She gets up and grabs her IV stand.
 15[19:42] * +Kirengo "When the Enclave fires on their own for even disobeying orders, is there even a difference?"
 07[19:43] * +Blastwave sighs, "Maybe that might have been better, if it worked, but that's besides the point. What has happened, /happened/ feeling bitter doesn't fix things. I'm not saying not to hurt, but you're letting the pain taint your world view."
 07[19:44] * +Blastwave "Just because it was done in the wrong way, doesn't mean we can't fix it."
 15[19:45] * +Kirengo is, at this point, not even entirely sure it was done the wrong way. If there were enough pegasi up there like Mercury, they'd never say the ground was good enough to recieve any of their precious sunlight.
 07[19:48] * +Mercury nods to Blastwave. "You may want to talk to your coltfriend about that. It doesn't sound like he would approve of fixing." She starts to the door of the engine room, assuming she is not blocked.
 07[19:49] * +Blastwave laughs, "He loves fixing things, perhaps his definition is different from yours."
 15[19:49] * +Kirengo just looks confused.
 07[19:53] * +Mercury looks between them. "Yeah, I'm sure."
 15[19:53] * +Kirengo looks at Mercury. "What?"
 07[19:54] * +Blastwave "Listen Merc. I'm sorry for your loss"
 07[19:56] * +Mercury "Just..." She sighs. "Nevermind."
 15[19:57] * +Kirengo "No, not nevermind. What's your problem with me?"
 07[20:02] * +Mercury "Or what? You going to turn my head into paste too?"
 15[20:05] * +Kirengo "No. That'd be stupid. What are you even talking about?"
 07[20:09] * +Mercury "You... Argh! You spew all that 'Enclave is irredeemable' crap, attack the ponies I am trying to talk to, then murder them and you wonder what my problem is with you?"
 15[20:11] * +Kirengo raises both his eyebrows. "Were you not listening to what they were saying back? They didn't care if they were killing civilians! Elderly, foals too! They were about to shoot you for questioning their orders! So yeah, I jumped in and disabled most of their guns! And then yes, when I -got shot- in -the face- I retaliated in kind."
 07[20:18] * +Mercury "They shot you in the face because you attacked them. And I barely had a chance to talk to the leader, never mind the other two. As you said, there is little tolerance for disobedience, they may have been sacred. Even then, you had more or less won already."
 15[20:23] * +Kirengo "You wouldn't have -gotten- the chance to talk to the other two because the leader would've -shot- you. You asked when you met me if we'd honor surrenders. I said yes. Well you know what? They weren't surrendering. I killed a non-surrendering enemy of my home. My apologies." He snorts and tries to go around Mercury to get out of the engine room before her.
 07[20:25] * +Mercury mumbles under her breath. "Bastard." And stays put in the engine room. She looks over to Blastwave, curiously.
 07[20:26] * +Blastwave blinks at the fight and facehooves, "Did you really think that after the mess of Freindship city they'd send anypony who could possibly defect? He was trying to save your life."
 15[20:27] * +Kirengo walks through the passenger room and up to the deck.
 07[20:31] * +Mercury snorts. "I had to try. I don't like seeing my people killed." She softens a bit. "I am not saying we should not have stopped the gun. We saved lives, but... I haven't seen a shred of remorse from him, even for the one who surrendered."
 07[20:33] * +Blastwave "Well The Enclave has tried to kill him multiple times." he sighs. "He doesn't feel remorse for defeated enemies, it's not his style, but if you show him somepony unfairly hurt. A civilian starving because of the cloud loss, then maybe he'll understand. This time however, at the tower, he made a snap descision to try and save your life, and save the mission. Maybe he was wrong, but
 07[20:33] * +Blastwave he shouldn't be called a murderer for it."
 07[20:40] * +Mercury looks down. "Maybe. I still call crushing a crippled, terrified pony who has not been offered surrender murder.” She looks back up at Blastwave. “Forgive me if I don’t believe it till I see it. From what he has said, he wants to dismatle what I want to save.”
 07[20:42] * +Blastwave sighs, "Listen, this is not the Enclave, not down here. The way it works down here it wasn't murder, and pressing it is going to get you a whole lot of dislike. Another pony we ran with tried the same thing." he then adds. "And saying wastelanders don't desevre the sun is not a good way to change his mind."
 07[20:47] * +Mercury "I never said theydidn't deserve it, just that they couldn't use it. Clean food is important."
 07[20:49] * +Blastwave "How much do you want to bet how he heard it?"
 07[20:50] * +Blastwave "And like I said, share."
 07[20:52] * +Blastwave sighs, "The point is, down here if you want to change minds you can't yell it into them. Lead by example, and others will follow."
 07[20:54] * +Mercury grumbles. "How? How do you sugest we do that?"
 07[20:54] * +Blastwave "Sex works!"
 07[20:54] * +Mercury tilts her head. "What?"
 06[20:56] * Shadow|LoL is now known as Shadow
 07[20:58] * +Blastwave coughs, "I mean showing them you're a good pony. If we're good, then not all pegasi can be bad, it changes minds slowly, but effectively."
 07[21:01] * +Mercury "So, what? Just help the Rangers and /him/ with whatever they need doing and hope it will somehow help home?"
 07[21:02] * +Blastwave "What exactly are your other options?"
 07[21:03] * +Blastwave "My point is not who you should help, but that if you want to change opinions, yelling at them and implying superiroity is not the way to do it."
 07[21:06] * +Mercury blinks. "When did I imply superiroity?"
 07[21:07] * +Blastwave "Talking about how the pegasi needed the sun more, and the wastelanders can get none despite the fact we don't need all of it."
 06[21:08] * Shadow is now known as Moonlight`s_Shimmer
 07[21:08] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer would argue that they need the moon as well, but that's neither here nor there
 07[21:11] * +Mercury "I'm not an engineer. I don't know if we could give some without loosing productivity. And you yourself said it would need to be gradual even if it could happen."
 15[21:12] * +Kirengo is pretty sure that right there is implying superiority.
 07[21:12] * +Blastwave "C'mon, the only farmable clouds are near the SPP, everypony knows that. And I said it should have been in order to lessen the impact, but your tone implied it never should have happened until all the radiation left, which is never happening in your lifetime."
 07[21:16] * +Mercury "I was saying what just happened should not happen in our lifetime." And stating a simple pragmatic fact is not implying superiority.
 07[21:17] * +Blastwave thinks implication is more important when dealing with people, "Yes, and if you keep telling ponies they shouldn't be allowed to see their Goddess they are going to hate you."
 07[21:19] * +Blastwave "To put it bluntly, whatever you think "should" have happened is irrelevent. You can't put back the clouds."
 07[21:21] * +Blastwave thinks that stating something is pragmatic in meta text doesn't actually make it so
 07[21:26] * +Mercury "I know that. It doesn't mean I need to like it... I need to think about what I am going to do."
 07[21:29] * +Blastwave "I'm not saying you have to like it, I don't either, but you need to adapt. And if you yell at everyone you disagree with, and make them your enemy, you aren't going to have a freinds to help."
 07[21:37] * +Mercury blinks. "Serriously, when did I yell at him?" She shakes her head. "I guess it doesn't matter." She looks back at Blastwave. "Do forgive me if I am a little slow on that. It has been a hell of a week to adapt to and I have only had a few hours for this last part."
 04[21:39] * +Blastwave "I forgive you, after I died I was ppositive nothing was wrong for days so not forgiving would be hypocritical. I'm just trying to help." he sighs, "Just think about it, and try to talk less heatedly with Kiren about it. I need to go make sure he hasn't kicked any walls down." Exit stage left
 15[21:40] * +Kirengo has only kicked down part of the railing off the boat. He caught it before it went into the water and he'll fix it later, though...
 07[21:40] * +Blastwave sighs, "Making way for a gang-plank to make Mercury walk off?"
 15[21:46] * +Kirengo is just looking at the length of broken wood on the deck in front of him. "No. She makes way too good of deals to do that."
 07[21:46] * +Blastwave chuckles, "Give her time she'll come around."
 15[21:47] * +Kirengo "Come around to what? Not calling me a murderer or giving a crap about anything that goes on below the clouds?"
 07[21:48] * +Mercury leaves the engine room and picks up her uniform, pulling the IV out of her leg and putting the Enclave outfit back on.
 07[21:48] * +Blastwave "Yes."
 15[21:49] * +Kirengo looks up at Blastwave. "You -really- think that's going to happen?"
 07[21:49] * +Blastwave shrugs, "I did, didn't I?"
 07[21:49] * +Mercury starts getting her armor on.
 15[21:51] * +Kirengo "Uh, you never called me a murderer or said we shouldn't get to see the sky."
 07[21:53] * +Blastwave laughs, "Well, I thought it real hard?" he shrugs. "She was never a combatent, probably officer training. She's not used to battle, or death, so give her a few weeks. For the Sky thing, yeah, I never thought wasteland ponies should. Then I saw Freindship City and the lengths they went to to survive, to save ponies even as the risk of their own life. They deserve the sun back." he
 07[21:53] * +Blastwave shrugs. "And she doesn't say they shouldn't, but her plan to give it back would take decades."
 15[21:58] * +Kirengo "Decades, meaning most of the ones alive down here right now wouldn't have gotten a chance to see it, or even a chance at growing our own food, irradiated or not..." He sighs as he sits and puts a wing over his face to rub it. "Do you still think it?"
 07[22:00] * +Blastwave looks up at the sky and squints. Was the sun always that bright before. "We never should have stolen the sky to begin with. You all deserve a chance to see it...."
 15[22:00] * +Kirengo "The other thing."
 07[22:01] * +Blastwave "What other thing?"
 15[22:01] * +Kirengo "The murderer thing. You just said..."
 07[22:02] * +Blastwave laughs, "No, I never thought you were a murderer."
 15[22:04] * +Kirengo blinks underneath his wing. "Oh. Well that's not what... Nevermind." He pulls his wing off his face slowly. "So how is she supposed to see that the wasteland isn't full of a bunch of morons who don't know their hooves from their dongs and that they should actually be cared about?"
 07[22:04] * +Blastwave "It was probably a bad joke, it usually is." he smirks. "Well, we show her of course. Starting by getting her another wing."
 15[22:07] * +Kirengo blinks. "Oh this is going to take some convincing."
 07[22:07] * +Blastwave looks over, "Me convincing you?
 15[22:07] * +Kirengo "Us convincing my mother."
 07[22:08] * +Blastwave "That is far less fun."
 15[22:09] * +Kirengo "Tell me about it." He looks up at the sky. "The entire town of Shantyshod is probably dancing in the streets right now. And you can be sure that she isn't going to let anyone go to sleep tonight before they all do a good bit of star gazing." He looks back down at Blastwave. "You think getting to see the sky or getting sunlight for farming is an important thing for me or the wasteland? You ain't seen nothing yet..."
 07[22:10] * +Blastwave blinks, "The stars?"
 15[22:10] * +Kirengo "Huh?"
 07[22:11] * +Blastwave tilts his head looking confused, "What?"
 15[22:11] * +Kirengo "What about the stars?"
 07[22:11] * +Blastwave "you mentioned star gazing."
 15[22:13] * +Kirengo "Yeah. Tonight will be the first time I've ever seen the stars... first time she's seen the stars in... oh at least fifty years. She's the last one in existence you want to say 'I think the clouds should still be there' to in the entire wasteland."
 07[22:14] * +Blastwave "I... see. Have you mentioned the stars before? I can't remember..."
 15[22:14] * +Kirengo nods slowly. "Yeah... it's kind of a huge thing in our family."
 07[22:14] * +Blastwave "Oh... why?"
 15[22:15] * +Kirengo blinks. "She's star touched... gains power from the stars... talks to them... we went over this."
 07[22:16] * +Mercury makes sure her pistol is loaded and mounted, putting the second in her wing.
 07[22:16] * +Blastwave "It's been a long day, sorry..."
 15[22:20] * +Kirengo sighs. "Well if you don't remember us talking about it, you won't remember now if I tell you again..." He shakes his head. "Long story short, Enclave is going to make getting her to do something harder. Definitely not impossible, she's just going to need to be convinced that Mercury's worth the time, the effort, and the materials."
 07[22:21] * +Blastwave blushes, "I remember now. It's just between nearly dying, nearly watching you die, having sex, followed by stupid philosophical conversations my rotten brain has a little bit of a loading time..." he sighs, "Well, I'm sure we can convince her. Somehow."
 15[22:22] * +Kirengo snerks. "Yeah, sorry... Honestly I'm not sure which will be harder..."
 07[22:23] * +Blastwave eyes twitches. "So many... innuendos... " he coughs and calms the part in his brain shouting out dick jokes. "Convincing your mom, or Merc?"
 15[22:25] * +Kirengo "Oh, no... I think convincing Mercury will be harder... I meant convincing my mother to do it or getting her to accept my coltfriend is a ghoul without having her mind shut down."
 04[22:25] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo,
 [22:25] <+Blastwave> "She's not a fan?"
 15[22:26] * +Kirengo "Several very bad experiences with ferals."
 07[22:26] * +Blastwave deadpans, "Can we... not tell her that whole deal... about precious...'
 15[22:27] * +Kirengo nods. "Obviously."
 07[22:27] * +Blastwave "Just, you know, making sure." nervous laughter. "So you don't think she's going to like me?"
 15[22:28] * +Kirengo shrugs. "Oh she'll probably like you just fine. She'll just always expect you to lose your mind and attack her when she isn't looking."
 07[22:29] * +Blastwave nods, "Lovely. I'm guessing I can't call her a racist?"
 15[22:29] * +Kirengo "Not racist. Paranoid."
 07[22:30] * +Blastwave "Right..." he sighs. "Anything I can do to avoid getting shot?"
 15[22:30] * +Kirengo "Don't talk about how Rangers have 'delicious' names."
 07[22:30] * +Blastwave facehooves
 15[22:30] * +Kirengo giggles.
 07[22:31] * +Blastwave "In my defense!" he pauses. "There is no defending that..."
 15[22:31] * +Kirengo bites his lip and shakes his head.
 07[22:31] * +Blastwave snickers and shakes his head. "You're learning the art of bad jokes well."
 15[22:34] * +Kirengo "I try. Other than that, just don't look like you think she'd make a good lunch. Oh... maybe most important, no jokes about her size."
 07[22:35] * +Blastwave blinks, "Okay, no food jokes, I suppose I should avoid anything 'growly'" good luck. "And... size. She a large mare?"
 15[22:36] * +Kirengo smirks and holds a forehoof up to about where the top of Karina's head would be if she were standing on the deck, minus her mohawk.
 07[22:36] * +Blastwave blinks. then leans down and blinks again. "Your mother is a filly?"
 15[22:37] * +Kirengo laughs. "Saying that might get you shot."
 07[22:37] * +Blastwave nods, "Right... jsut... nothing going to mention it. I'm allergic to... bullets."
 15[22:39] * +Kirengo "She has a lot of those." He puts his hoof back down and sighs. "Mercury hates my guts. What makes you think she's going to stick around long enough to do any of this anyway?"
 07[22:40] * +Blastwave shrugs, "Well I think she still likes me, and Clipped, and Moon, and Whatsherface. And you know, telling her you're going to try and give her flight back might just convince her to hate you less."
 07[22:40] * +Clipped_Cantle snores.
 15[22:41] * +Kirengo "I did tell her that. She didn't seem impressed."
 07[22:41] * +Blastwave "It'll maybe take time to sink in?"
 07[22:41] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer snoozes with Clipped_Cantle tucked up against her chest
 15[22:43] * +Kirengo shrugs. "I don't know. Or maybe she'll go insane and demand we all go fly directly into the line of fire and get ourselves killed."
 07[22:43] * +Blastwave laughs. "Yes, the old precious tactic."
 15[22:45] * +Kirengo snorts. "Yeah..." He gets up and moves closer to Blastwave. "Sorry."
 07[22:45] * +Blastwave blinks, "Uh, what for?"
 15[22:48] * +Kirengo "I should've just stayed out of the room entirely."
 07[22:49] * +Blastwave "I did sort of ask you to come, it's fine." he rubs his forehead.
 15[22:50] * +Kirengo "Yeah and you also told me to be nice. Though I'm not sure whether the blame is on me for not being nice or on you for thinking I could be in the first place." He sort of smirks.
 07[22:50] * +Blastwave "Yeah, I need to get you a gag or something..." wait for it...
 15[22:51] * +Kirengo giggles. "Kinky."
 07[22:51] * +Blastwave blinks, blushes and facehooves, "No, wait, I didn't... fuck."
 15[22:52] * +Kirengo laughs and nuzzles Blastwave's cheek. "Maybe you should go back down there and make sure Mercury doesn't like... decide to jump off the side of the boat... or worse... decide not to play sexy for the quartermaster..."
 07[22:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles in her sleep and pulls Clipped_Cantle up a bit, tucking the small mare's head in the crook of her neck protectively, her wing still wrapped around her
 07[22:53] * +Blastwave nuzzles back, "Do you want me to come with to shove my hoof in your mouth if you say something stupid?
 15[22:54] * +Kirengo sighs. "I guess... if you think I should."
 07[22:55] * +Blastwave "It was a joke, it's up to you."
 15[22:55] * +Kirengo "If I do come, I'm pretty sure that's something you're going to have to do."
 [22:57] <+Blastwave> (Redaction +4)
 07[22:57] * +Blastwave nods, "Yeah, I talked to her before. She said she needed time to think.
 15[22:58] * +Kirengo "Great... how much time is 'time'?"
 07[22:58] * +Clipped_Cantle murmurs in her sleep, stirring a little, and tilts her head so that Moonlight`s_Shimmer's neck is shielding her eyes.
 07[22:58] * +Blastwave "Uh, I'm not sure."
 07[22:59] * +Mercury is on her cot in full kit, cloak included, reading one of the books again.
 15[23:00] * +Kirengo "Should we ask?"
 07[23:01] * +Blastwave "Asking someone how much time they need for a life altering descision is often considered rude."
 15[23:01] * +Kirengo "I am often considered rude.
 15[23:01] <+Kirengo> "
 07[23:02] * +Blastwave "I thought the plan was to get her to hate you less." he sticks out his tongue
 07[23:03] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer lets out a happy sigh in her sleep and takes her wing and pulls Clipped tighter to her with it, dreaming about her and Clipped living togethor somewhere nice after the war is over
 15[23:04] * +Kirengo blinks. "I thought it was just to make sure she didn't go crazy."
 07[23:05] * +Blastwave "Can't it be both?'
 15[23:07] * +Kirengo sighs. "I guess. Just make sure we're never stuck in a room alone. Next she might try to tell me... I don't even know."
 07[23:07] * +Blastwave "That stripes are bad and you should feel bad?
 07[23:08] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns and blinks her eyes open. She looks around, confused, then smiles. Guess she fell asleep and Moon brought her in here... and of course her nap was interrupted by nature's call...and of course she would be stuck when she woke up... she sighs and just snuggles back into the alicorn, trying to ignore her need and go back to sleep.
 15[23:09] * +Kirengo smirks. "Something silly like that, yeah."
 07[23:09] * +Blastwave "Just give her time, a lot of things are changing and some ponies adapt better than others."
 15[23:12] * +Kirengo huffs. "Uh-huh."
 07[23:13] * +Blastwave blinks, "Some people." he corrects
 15[23:15] * +Kirengo blinks back. "Wha- oh." He chuckles. "I just meant... 'uh-huh I'm going to have to sit back and take it'?"
 07[23:16] * +Blastwave "Or kick her."
 15[23:17] * +Kirengo "I thought the plan was to make her not hate me?"
 07[23:17] * +Blastwave "Thats my plan. I was just giving you alternate options."
 07[23:17] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and sighs, giving Moonlight`s_Shimmer a gentle kiss before snuggling back down to try and get some more sleep, the call of mother nature all but forgotten. Because trollbot.
 [23:18] <+Blastwave> Suddenly something on the ceiling falls and lands on Moonlight`s_Shimmer's face
 07[23:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer mmmmms as she feels Clipped_Cantle snuggle back into her...her forelegs slowly begin to wrap around Clipped's chest, her wings opening up to allow them to do so, after which her wings wrap back around Clipped with her forelegs, muttering something in her sleep
 15[23:19] * +Kirengo "Quite nice of you, dear."
 07[23:19] * +Blastwave blushes, "Are we really starting with the 'dear's."
 15[23:20] * +Kirengo smiles. "I'unno... are we coltfriends?"
 07[23:21] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and nuzzles one of Moonlight`s_Shimmer's wings, then returns her head to the crook in the alicorn's neck, yawning.
 07[23:21] * +Blastwave blink blinks. "Uh... I don;t know? What's the critera?"
 15[23:23] * +Kirengo coughs. "Um... I... I have no idea..."
 07[23:24] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer has something land on her face! Hopefully it isn't pain! She eeps and blinks her eyes open sleepily "Hu-huh...wah...?" she looks around sleepily and tightens her grip on Clipped_Cantle a bit
 07[23:25] * +Blastwave thinks about this, "Well. It's not a one night stand, and I had your cock in my mouth. So I'm going to go with a tentative yes."
 07[23:26] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and lifts her head, then nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you..." She sighs. "Was trying not to, actually."
 07[23:28] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head "You did not wake us...something fell on us..." she yawns then nuzzles Clipped_Cantle back
 15[23:28] * +Kirengo giggles. "Okay... so why not?"
 07[23:28] * +Mercury gets up and walks up the stairs. The deck may be free. She pokes her head up. Nope. Turns back around.
 07[23:28] * +Blastwave blinks, "What? I said yes."
 15[23:29] * +Kirengo "I meant starting with the de- wait Mercury!"
 07[23:29] * +Clipped_Cantle looks around. "What...? There's nothing there... think you dreamt it, Moon?" She yawns again. Damn things were contagious.
 07[23:30] * +Blastwave didn't even notice, "You can come up Merc, we don't bite."
 07[23:30] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer untangles a forehoof and rubs her head with it "We do not think we can dream pain..."
 07[23:30] * +Mercury stops on the stairs. "You seem occupied."
 07[23:31] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head, then shrugs. Too tired to figure this one out, instead she just leans up to kiss it better.
 07[23:32] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer leans down, inviting Clipped to do so
 15[23:33] * +Kirengo "Not overly so."
 07[23:33] * +Blastwave "Not really."
 07[23:34] * +Clipped_Cantle kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer's head where she was rubbing it and chuckles, then lowers her muzzle to give the alicorn a proper kiss.
 07[23:35] * +Mercury nods. "I was just checking our ETA."
 07[23:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer leans into Clipped_Cantle's kiss and mmmms
 15[23:36] * +Kirengo "Not long at all, now. You can come up onto the deck."
 07[23:37] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns, breaking the kiss. "Dammit... tired of being tired." She nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Well, since you're awake... I kinda need to go, Moon."
 07[23:37] * +Mercury "I have what I wanted from up here. I will stay out of your mane."
 07[23:38] * +Blastwave "It's fine. How are you feeling?'
 07[23:40] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks then yawns "But you are tired...you need to sleep Clipped." she nuzzles Clipped_Cantle's neck
 15[23:40] * +Kirengo "Please... just... come up here."
 07[23:42] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles softly. "So are you and so do you... but nature's calling, Moon. Besides... not like we're going to get a ton of sleep before we get back to Bucklyn anyway."
 07[23:42] * +Mercury turns around and wordlessly comes up. She looks over to Blastwave. "I'll live."
 07[23:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "Oh...alright. Promise us you will sleep with us when we get back to Bucklyn though? Please? It is not good to run on lack of sleep."
 07[23:44] * +Blastwave "Well, that's good." she looks at her. "You ready for a fight?"
 15[23:45] * +Kirengo closes his yap.
 07[23:45] * +Mercury "If need be. Should I be expecting one?"
 07[23:46] * +Blastwave shrugs, "Generally it's always safe too. Maybe we'll find another pirate ship."
 07[23:47] * +Mercury "Lovely."
 07[23:47] * +Blastwave "They didn't have any peg legs though."
 07[23:48] * +Clipped_Cantle giggles and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "I'll sleep with you, alright." She grins, but it's interrupted by a yawn. "Alright, alright, yeah. I promise to get some sleep as soon as I can."
 07[23:49] * +Mercury "Oh bliss, oh joy."
 07[23:49] * +Blastwave "you done yet?"
 07[23:50] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle back "Okay." she unravels herself from Clipped_Cantle, even though she'd rather not, then kisses her on the forehead
 07[23:50] * +Mercury "Being sarcastic? Probably not."
 15[23:50] * +Kirengo sighs. "Look I'm sorry for being inconsiderate."
 07[23:51] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and gets to her hooves, stretching. "You staying here?
 [23:51] <+Clipped_Cantle> "
 07[23:52] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer gets up and out of bed, yawning and stretching "We will come with you."
 07[23:53] * +Mercury looks over in her helmet, invisably blinking in surprise.
 07[23:53] * +Blastwave is a bit surprised as well
 15[23:53] * +Kirengo just stands there, silent, unmoving, and unblinking.
 07[23:54] * +Clipped_Cantle eyes Moonlight`s_Shimmer as she stretches, smirking, then nods. "Ok." She trots out of the captain's cabin and on to the deck.
 07[23:54] * +Mercury "... um... thank you..."
 07[23:54] * +Blastwave looks for a calander to mark this date on
 07[23:54] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle's plot with her eyes out of the cabin and onto the deck
 15[23:57] * +Kirengo swallows then slowly starts to move for the bow of the boat.
 07[23:57] * +Blastwave "Where you going?'
 [23:57] <+Blastwave> are*
 04[23:57] * +Mercury watches Kirengo go, but does not move.
 04[23:58] * +Clipped_Cantle pauses and looks between Mercury, Kirengo, and Blastwave. The buck is going on?
 07[23:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and sleepily looks at everyone
 15[23:59] * +Kirengo stops and turns back around to face Blastwave. "Somewhere I won't say something stupid."
 04[23:59] * +Blastwave "You're find Kiren, come back."
 Session Time: Sun Aug 26 00:00:00 2012
 07[00:00] * +Clipped_Cantle tilts her head, yawning, then shrugs and makes her way toward the stairs.
 07[00:00] * +Blastwave salutes Clipped_Cantle at her passing
 15[00:01] * +Kirengo "Fine." He just continues to stand there, facing the two.
 07[00:01] * +Mercury watches Clipped_Cantle pass, moving out of the way.
 07[00:01] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at Blastwave, then nods. "Uh, hey."
 04[00:02] * +Blastwave shakes his head, "Sometimes I swear Kiren. C'mon. We probably need to dicuss the plan to get Mercury a wing." he smile sat Clipped_Cantle, "Hey."
 07[00:02] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle and yawns "Hello everyone..."
 07[00:03] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns again and sits on the deck. "Huh? A wing? How's that? Cybernetic?"
 07[00:03] * +Mercury jolts ridged. "Wait, what?"
 04[00:04] * +Blastwave stares blankly at Clipped_Cantle and then points at Kirengo's wings
 15[00:05] * +Kirengo smacks his lips. He's half stubborn, half trying-to-do-the-right-thing, and half pissed off.
 07[00:05] * +Clipped_Cantle facehooves. "Right. Sorry. Need to sleep more." She sighs and shakes her head, then looks over at Mercury. "Doesn't look like you're resting to me."
 04[00:06] * +Blastwave will make him do the right thing damnit, "We were talking, and are going to see if Kiren's mother can help Merc."
 [00:07] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "That would be nice..."
 04[00:08] * +Mercury turns to Clipped. "There were a few complications with res..." She looks back and fourth between Blastwave and Kirengo. "I... um... not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why?"
 07[00:09] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns. "Hope she can..." She frowns at Mercury, and notices the IV missing. She grumbles and heads down the stairs. "Back in a minute."
 07[00:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle
 15[00:11] * +Kirengo continues his bout of silence.
 07[00:11] * +Blastwave gets the silent treatment, great. "Because we figure not flying would suck and want to see you be able to again."
 07[00:12] * +Clipped_Cantle trudges into the engine room and over to the bathroom to relieve herself.
 15[00:12] * +Kirengo is not giving Blastwave the silent treatment.
 07[00:12] * +Blastwave can't read minds!
 07[00:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer waits for Clipped_Cantle to relieve herself
 07[00:15] * +Mercury "Um... thank you..." She can't help, but be nervous about the catch. This was to pleasant a turnabout to not have a catch. Fait just wasn't that nice.
 07[00:16] * +Blastwave wonders if not going crazy was a catch
 15[00:17] * +Kirengo "You're welcome."
 07[00:18] * +Mercury "So... what do I need to do?"
 04[00:18] * +Blastwave "Oh right, I should mention Kiren's ma worships the stars, so it might be best to not mention wanting the cloud cover back around her."
 15[00:19] * +Kirengo "She doesn't wor-" well she kinda did... in a way...
 07[00:19] * +Blastwave is using terminology that is easilly understood
 15[00:20] * +Kirengo can't read minds!
 07[00:20] * +Mercury tilts her head. "Worships... the stars?" She suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
 07[00:21] * +Blastwave thinks he should start! "Yeah, talks to them sometimes. Why?"
 15[00:21] * +Kirengo sighs. "So get this, the stars are actually old souls who used to live down here, but passed on and now live up in the heavens. And they have incredible power, but they aren't like gods and stuff, so no she doesn't -worship- them, but she does talk to them, commune with them... get power from them... stuff like that."
 07[00:22] * +Blastwave "Worship."
 15[00:22] * +Kirengo "Worship implies benevolence on the thing being worshipped."
 07[00:23] * +Blastwave "Luna and Celestia sort of caused the end of the world, and ponies still worship them."
 07[00:23] * +Clipped_Cantle comes out of the bathroom and chuckles at Moonlight`s_Shimmer before nuzzling her. "You didn't have to wait out here for me, Moon."
 07[00:23] * +Mercury nods slowly and takes a step back. "Okay then."
 15[00:24] * +Kirengo sighs. He looks at Mercury. "What?"
 07[00:24] * +Blastwave looks over at Mercury with a raised... eyebrow
 07[00:24] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle and yawns "We wanted to wait for you..."
 07[00:24] * +Blastwave doesn't really have eyebrows anymore, but you know
 07[00:25] * +Mercury "That is interesting."
 07[00:25] * +Blastwave "I'm not big on theology or astronomy, but I guess."
 15[00:26] * +Kirengo "Point is she's going to be very happy that she can see the sky for the first time in over fifty years."
 07[00:26] * +Clipped_Cantle d'awws a little and smiles, yawning as well. "You're a sweetheart, you know that?" She kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer on the nose, then heads back up to the deck.
 07[00:26] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks as her nose is kissed, then follows Clipped_Cantle back over to the deck
 07[00:27] * +Blastwave blinks, "Fifty?:
 07[00:27] * +Mercury tilts her ears. "How did she see them in the first place?
 15[00:28] * +Kirengo "Yes, fifty." He looks at Mercury. "She grew up in zebra lands where there was no constant cloud cover. She got chased out when she got her glyphmark as a filly and has lived the rest of her life in Manehatten."
 07[00:29] * +Blastwave "Oh, I didn't know that. That sucks..."
 07[00:29] * +Clipped_Cantle trudges her way back up the stairs, glancing at Mercury, then sits on the deck.
 07[00:31] * +Mercury nods again. "Right then." The cult theory was looking strong.
 15[00:31] * +Kirengo would confirm the cult theory. They called themselves a cult. Didn't even try to hide it.
 07[00:31] * +Blastwave doesn't give a flying buck, Atheism is fun.
 15[00:32] * +Kirengo "And she also happens to be, gasp, a version of a farmer."
 07[00:33] * +Blastwave tries not to laugh at the gasp and fails
 07[00:33] * +Clipped_Cantle headtilts. "Who? We still talking about your mom?" That's what she gets for leaving in the middle of a conversation.
 15[00:34] * +Kirengo "Yes we are."
 07[00:34] * +Blastwave "Don't ever mention her height." he warns
 07[00:34] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns at Blastwave.
 15[00:34] * +Kirengo "He's not joking."
 [00:35] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Why?"
 07[00:35] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer yawns
 07[00:35] * +Blastwave gives an approximation of her height
 15[00:35] * +Kirengo holds his forehoof and inch or two just below the top of Clipped_Cantle's head. "That's why."
 07[00:36] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns even more. "Think I'd be the last pony to mention something like that."
 07[00:36] * +Blastwave "Don't know, maybe you'd be excited to find someone shorter than you." Someone's getting shot...
 07[00:36] * +Mercury deadpans behind her helmet. Sarcasum, creepy cults and serious Neighpolion complexes. This was going to be fun.
 07[00:37] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer frowns then nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "We...need to go lay down..."
 07[00:37] * +Clipped_Cantle glares daggers at Blastwave, but then she's nuzzled. She blinks and turns to look at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, nuzzling back. "You ok?"
 07[00:37] * +Blastwave doesn't think the cult is that creepy
 07[00:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer yawns "We are moer tired than we thought is all..."
 15[00:38] * +Kirengo recoils a bit from Clipped_Cantle. "Eesh."
 04[00:39] * +Blastwave "Ouch, sorry. I just had to get my short jokes out now so i'm not tempted around Kiren's ma."
 15[00:40] * +Kirengo "Didn't we have a topic somewhere earlier?"
 04[00:40] * +Clipped_Cantle yawns and kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer on the cheek. "Alright. I'll get you when we get to Bucklyn." She looks over at Kirengo and Blastwave. "Yeah, well, his mom isn't the only one touchy about her height, alright? So quit it."
 07[00:41] * +Mercury looks over to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Sleep well."
 15[00:41] * +Kirengo "Night Moon." He looks back at Clipped_Cantle. "Already did."
 07[00:42] * +Blastwave "Sorry..." she looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "Gnight Moon."
 07[00:43] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and rubs her eyes, grumbling a bit. "I...ugh. It's alright. Sorry. Know you didn't mean anything by it... just tired. Long damn night and, so far, day..."
 07[00:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer kisses Clipped_Cantle back then waves a wing sleepily at everyone then heads back to the captain's cabin and lays down to get some sleep
 07[00:44] * +Blastwave grins, "Not all bad."
 15[00:44] * +Kirengo instantly blushes.
 04[00:45] * +Clipped_Cantle raises an eyebrow at Blastwave. "Huh? What're yo-" She stops as Kirengo blushes and grins. "Guess you'll be needing those walls sooner rather than later, huh?"
 07[00:45] * +Blastwave blushes more and instantly regrets saying anything, "I plead the fifth.:
 15[00:46] * +Kirengo clears his throat. "I think the topic was wings?" He's blushing harder, though.
 04[00:46] * +Blastwave remembers the... ahem, versatility of Kirengo's wings and blushes more. "Wings, er, yes."
 07[00:48] * +Clipped_Cantle chuckles.
 13[00:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
 04[00:51] <+Clipped_Cantle> "So... check in with Paladin Split, see if he's got anything for us, and if he doesn't we go see Kirengo's mom about helping Mercury?"
 04[00:51] * +Blastwave "That's the plan." Still blushing, go away damnit. "Uh, Kiren, what is your mom's name? Or should i just call her Ma'am?"
 15[00:54] * +Kirengo "Yeah, guess that'll work." He looks at Blastwave. "Uh... that, or Kar. Or..." He thinks about it for a minute. "Or Karina."
 07[00:54] * +Mercury looks between the three, rather befuddled that talking to the stars was not considered kinda crazy. "Um... and are there any side effects?"
 07[00:54] * +Clipped_Cantle kind of missed the stars part of the conversation.
 07[00:55] * +Blastwave nods, "Gotcha. Ma'am it is. Just to be safe." Blastwave figures it's magic. He doesn't understand magic.
 04[00:56] * +Clipped_Cantle hmms, then looks at Kirengo. "If your mom's the shooty type... maybe Moon should stay at Bucklyn... and I'll stay with her."
 15[00:58] * +Kirengo blinks at Clipped_Cantle. "What? No. Well, she is, but she's more liable to shoot Blast for looking at her like she's tasty than Moon." He looks at Mercury. "Side effects?"
 07[00:58] * +Blastwave looks over at Clipped_Cantle, "She's afraid ghouls are going to eat her. When have I ever done that?"
 04[01:00] * +Clipped_Cantle shrugs at Kirengo. "Better safe than sorry... unless you're certain Moon will be ok." She looks at Blastwave. "Technically, never."
 15[01:00] * +Kirengo "I'm absolutely certain Moon will be okay, and Blast tried to eat Precious."
 15[01:00] * +Kirengo "But we found out later she'd deserve it, so it's all cool anyway."
 07[01:00] * +Blastwave "We don't talk about that..."
 04[01:01] * +Mercury gulps and looks over to Blastwave. "...tried to... eat?" She looks over to Kirengo. Deserved to be eaten?! She takes a few more steps back.
 15[01:02] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes at Mercury. "It's a -joke-. C'mon."
 07[01:03] * +Blastwave clarifies, "Well, the deserved it part. I did try to eat her, in my defense learning you died and are cursed to walk the earth forever like a walking corpse whom everyone instantly distrusts kind of does a number on your brain. I'm better now."
 [01:04] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Not to mention your former comrades-in-arms were looking at you like you were some kind of monster. Probably didn't help any."
 07[01:05] * +Blastwave "Oh yes, along with learning my country enjoyed shooting foals, and would kill me on sight. Precious, who you never met, had been gratting on me since we met blaming me for everything the enclave did, and I kind of snapped."
 15[01:06] * +Kirengo "And I had to talk him back to sanity. He's fine now."
 07[01:06] * +Mercury is very, very glad she is in her armor. "And... tried to /eat/ her?"
 [01:07] <+Clipped_Cantle> "It's kind of what feral ghouls do..."
 15[01:07] * +Kirengo "Well no. Just attacked. But if he had gone full feral? Yeah, it's what feral ghouls do. They eat flesh."
 07[01:07] * +Blastwave "Yes, I went sort of feral." he smiles. "But I didn't, i don't /know/ if I was trying as the memory is fuzzy, but it's certainly possible."
 15[01:08] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave. "You weren't. You were even still talking somewhat. It's how I knew you were still able to be saved."
 07[01:10] * +Blastwave nods, "Well, thats good. I still don't know a lot about... me." he looks over at Mercury, "Thats why I said it's good you still have your health. It's a lovely life I live, on the edge of sanity, but I keep myself optimistic, so I doubt it'll happen again."
 07[01:10] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks. "And now he's got a coltfriend. Good motivation to stay sane."
 15[01:11] * +Kirengo blinks.
 07[01:12] * +Blastwave blushes, "Well, he did talk me out of it to begin with..."
 07[01:12] * +Mercury "Riiight..."
 07[01:12] * +Mercury "So then..."
 07[01:13] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and chuckles, then looks over to Mercury.
 07[01:13] * +Blastwave laughs, "It's not all bad. I don't need to eat or drink or piss or look in mirrors... they always break when I try."
 15[01:14] * +Kirengo smiles and blushes faintly as he recalls the very powerful pep talk he gave on the virtues of getting revenge on the Enclave decision makers. He looks up at Mercury. "So then what?" He was still hoping for an apology in return.
 07[01:17] * +Mercury "Um..."
 15[01:17] * +Kirengo raises an eyebrow.
 07[01:23] * +Clipped_Cantle headtilts.
 07[01:25] * +Mercury "I'm not going to lie, I'm rather scarred out right now."
 15[01:25] * +Kirengo blinks. "Of what?"
 07[01:26] * +Blastwave "I'm guessing me."
 07[01:26] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs.
 07[01:27] * +Mercury "Star cults, pony eating and what the wastes, from what I have seen of them, will do to my people."
 07[01:27] * +Blastwave "I didn't eat anyone though..."
 15[01:28] * +Kirengo "The cult is harmless, Blast isn't feral, and 'your people'?"
 07[01:28] * +Blastwave "Pegasi."
 07[01:28] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks. Star cults?
 15[01:29] * +Kirengo "Pegasi?" He looks at Mercury. "What, like you, Blast, and Radar?"
 04[01:31] * +Blastwave "yes Kiren, we're all pegasi, You're so perceptive."
 07[01:32] * +Mercury nods. "Any who come down after what has happened. I doubt it will go well."
 07[01:34] * +Clipped_Cantle shrugs. "So we give them a hoof as best we can... long as they don't start shooting, at least."
 15[01:34] * +Kirengo looks at Blast. "Yeah, and one of those pegasi are one of the most reverred founding members of the city that the Enclave thoroughly melted." He turns back to Mercury. "I think you'll find that the wasteland is not nearly as racist as the Enclave. You were at Bucklyn and Friendship City with the Rangers, you know that first hoof. We aren't mad at pegasi, we're mad at some mass murdering crazies."
 15[01:34] <+Kirengo> is one*
 07[01:35] * +Blastwave "Honestly it seems down here practicality comes first. If the pegasi are helpful some may dislike them, but help is help... " he sighs, "Except for ghouls, everypony hates ghouls.
 [01:36] <+Clipped_Cantle> "I've got nothing against ghouls. Just feral ones."
 07[01:40] * +Mercury "Somehow I doubt most will get as warm a welcome, and even if they do, they are not trained for this place... Those horrid bat things..."
 15[01:43] * +Kirengo 's wings unfurl then re-furl slightly. "Well stop being so pessimistic, stop projecting all the bad things you can onto the people who live here, and give us a fricking chance before you write out the whole 'we're better than you and you won't treat us fair' twisted and convoluted version of the future."
 07[01:43] * +Clipped_Cantle nods.
 07[01:44] * +Blastwave "They're are some good, and some bad, but by the by they're no worse or better than what we're used to. "
 [01:44] <+Blastwave> There
 04[01:45] * +Mercury snorts at Kirengo. "When the hell did I say we were better than you? Stop putting words in my mouth."
 07[01:46] * +Blastwave "Merc, to be fair, this entire conversation you've been turning it into an us, the humble enclave citizens, and them, the cruel racist wastelanders."
 15[01:46] * +Kirengo "When you said we couldn't know how to grow food, when you said you could use the sun better than us, when you said we shouldn't get to see the sun at all, when you said the wasteland was all out to get the pegasi, like it's all our fault and you're the victim."
 04[01:47] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Kirengo and blinks, then frowns at Mercury. Really?
 07[01:58] * +Mercury sets herself. "One: It has been 200 years, some knowledge is bound to be lost. Two: We can grow uniradiated food, down here, the food would likely kill you in a mater of weeks without medical aid. Three: I never said that."
 07[01:58] * +Mercury “Four: Most are not trained to survive in a place like this. Some ponies are bound to hold hatreds, Blast even said there are raiders and pirates, never mind the wild life. So please forgive me for being worried about ponies who have less survival training than I do, and that is saying something, and most of whom have never used a weapon in their lives.”
 07[01:59] * +Blastwave "It's not what you're saying, it's /how/ you're saying it."
 07[02:00] * +Blastwave "When you give blanket statements for everyone in the wasteland and how they'd treat pegasi you're going to insult people from the wasteland."
 15[02:02] * +Kirengo "Zebras, Rad-Away, you sure act like it, and it isn't like we're going to toss pegasi that fly down here to their deaths or not try to help them."
 07[02:03] * +Clipped_Cantle just shakes her head.
 04[02:06] * +Blastwave honestly doesn't think Merc thinks the way kiren thinks she does, he just thinks she is just using terrible wording to get her point accross
 07[02:07] * +Mercury "You know what? I am done arguing with you. You will just twist my words." She turns and walks to the back of the ship.
 15[02:07] * +Kirengo still isn't a mind reader.
 07[02:08] * +Blastwave "Merc, he's not twisting your words, you're just using the wrong ones. There is a difference between 'I worry about my sister coming down because she doesn't know how to fight' and 'I worry what wastelanders are going to do to my people.'
 15[02:08] * +Kirengo just shakes his head.
 07[02:10] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns. "A big difference. I'm a 'wastelander' and I've been nothing but nice to you... saying it like that lumps me in with raiders and shit. I'm no damn raider."
 07[02:11] * +Blastwave waves a hoof, "Yeah, what clipped said. You're the talker pony, you should know to measure your words when they could be seen as offensive."
 07[02:11] * +Mercury "I. Never. Said. That. I said I doubted they woud all get a warm welcome. For the love of... You know what? Fine. You all clearly know what I mean more than I do."
 15[02:12] * +Kirengo clears his throat. "I'm scared right now about what the wastes will do to my people."
 07[02:13] * +Blastwave facehooves, "Whatever Merc. Don't listen. Don't change. But if two wastelanders here are offended at your words, then your words are /offensive/ so perhaps you should measure them." he groans, "I am trying to help you so you don't offend the wrong pony, we aren't the enemey, you're just being stubborn."
 07[02:13] * +Mercury waves her wing arround. "Radiation, bloodwings, needing to find food and water. I said wasteland, not wastelanders."
 15[02:15] * +Kirengo "The next words out of your mouth were talking about how pegasi would be mistreated by wastelanders."
 [02:15] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Then bucking say /that/! Can't read your damn mind. You go from talking to about the wastes to talking about not getting a warm welcome... well, from who? Wastelanders."
 07[02:15] * +Blastwave "What we have here is a failure to communicate..."
 [02:16] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Yeah, no kidding."
 15[02:17] * +Kirengo "What we have is a pegusus who, for some reason, thinks the wasteland is full of a bunch of anti-pegasi racists when everyone she's met down here has been nothing but friendly to pegasi, even Enclave defectors."
 04[02:18] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo, "Dear..."
 15[02:18] * +Kirengo "Unless she doesn't. In that case, she needs to stop saying that she's worried pegasi wouldn't get a warm welcome after 'what has happened'."
 15[02:18] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave. "What?"
 07[02:19] * +Blastwave "Nothing, just looking for that second part."
 07[02:20] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and shakes her head. "I'm too tired for this."
 07[02:24] * +Mercury shakes her head and looks between the three. "Understood."
 07[02:25] * +Blastwave rubs his forehead, "But I know what you mean, I wouldn't want my sister down here."
 15[02:25] * +Kirengo "
 15[02:25] * +Kirengo "-I- don't want to be here. This place sucks."
 [02:26] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Can't argue that."
 07[02:26] * +Mercury drops her jaw. After all that shit...
 07[02:26] * +Blastwave looks at Mercury, "The place sucks, not the ponies. Specifics are important."
 15[02:27] * +Kirengo "Exactly. Nobody is going to argue that bloodwings and radiation are the bane of our existence. But if you take out the raiders, slavers, and jerks, the people here are just fine and friendly."
 [02:27] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Fuck everything about bloodwings."
 15[02:27] * +Kirengo "Not everything."
 07[02:27] * +Blastwave "Except their wings."
 07[02:29] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns, but nods. "Yeah, I guess. That amulet of yours is nifty. So fuck just about everything about bloodwings." She blinks. "See, blanket statement, and it wasn't true."
 07[02:29] * +Mercury nods and goes up to the bow of the ship, sitting down and looking up the river.
 07[02:30] * +Blastwave "We'll teach her yet. I'd hate to see her turn into another precious."
 15[02:30] * +Kirengo "Well she's two for four, let's see if we can avoid it yet."
 07[02:30] * +Clipped_Cantle groans. "Yeah, I'd rather not deal with that again."
 07[02:31] * +Mercury twitches her ear and groans.
 07[02:33] * +Blastwave "I can sympathize, if it wasn't for the whole ghoul thing my view might be more aligned to hers in regards to somethings."
 15[02:33] * +Kirengo "I don't even want to know which things."
 07[02:34] * +Clipped_Cantle shrugs. "Anyway... I'm thinking about getting rid of these..." She points to the laser rifles on her saddle. "and swapping it out for that rifle Moon picked up awhile back. Don't really care for them. Sell the mods back to the Rangers, too. They ought to have a bunch of salvage from the boats at Friendship City, so I'll look into getting some of that so I can get your guys' room built for you."
 04[02:35] * +Blastwave "I don't even know Kiren." he looks at Clipped_Cantle, "I thought you were joking about that."
 15[02:36] * +Kirengo coughs. "Ah, that's... interesting. It'd be nice to have, too..." He looks at Blastwave. "Does she look like a joking mare?"
 07[02:37] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks. "Well, I was joking... sort of. Turnabout's fair play, right? I was serious about the room, though. Just picking on you like you pick on me and Moon."
 15[02:38] * +Kirengo looks at Clipped_Cantle. "You have a long way to go to get to that level."
 07[02:38] * +Blastwave blushes "Yes, we saw this coming." snickers. coming. "I wouldn't mind our own room... for you know... stuff."
 04[02:39] * +Clipped_Cantle grins at Kirengo. "Eh, I know. May not be as good at it, but it's still fun." She looks at Blastwave. "Then you'll have one."
 07[02:40] * +Blastwave "Thanks, do you need any extra caps... I might have stuff to sell..."
 15[02:41] * +Kirengo looks at his body for anything to sell. Oh wait, right, still completely naked. Oh well, he'd already sold everything he could sell anyway... except... "I've got a pistol and some ammo if you need more caps, too."
 07[02:41] * +Blastwave "I have a magi-pistol I think." he too is completely naked. The shame.
 [02:42] <+Clipped_Cantle> "No problem, and I probably won't. The rifles should more than cover it. Don't think the Rangers'll stiff me that bad on construction supplies." She shrugs.
 07[02:43] * +Blastwave "Well, if we get promoted. Which we should. Because, you know, we did save them from death."
 15[02:43] * +Kirengo "Could tear off the rest of the railing iff they do..." He limply points at the broken bits he had smashed earlier.
 07[02:43] * +Blastwave "We need to fix that to. We were going to make a plank for ponies we don't like to walk, but decided against it."
 07[02:44] * +Mercury looks over her shoulder at the railing... Fish would not be happy.
 04[02:44] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles. "Yeah, that'd be nice Blast. Th-" She stops and looks where Kirengo's pointing. "What happ- A plank? What?"
 07[02:44] * +Blastwave coughs into a hoof, "You're taking me seriously again, aren't you?"
 [02:45] <+Clipped_Cantle> "I have no idea what you're talking about, so I have no idea whether I should or not..."
 15[02:45] * +Kirengo "I kinda... bucked it."
 07[02:45] * +Blastwave "He got mad."
 07[02:47] * +Mercury checkes herself over to and remembers something. She gets up and heads to the stairs.
 07[02:47] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and sets her toolkit on the deck. "Right... can we refrain from bucking what is becoming, at least for me, a home? Please?"
 15[02:47] * +Kirengo "And I've already apologized once today. Don't think you're getting me to do it again for at least a week."
 15[02:48] * +Kirengo "I'll fix it."
 07[02:48] * +Blastwave "Do we have a calandar? We need to mark this event down."
 07[02:48] * +Mercury goes down to get Moth and Ball's tags from thier armor.
 15[02:49] * +Kirengo glances at Blastwave. "Why?"
 07[02:49] * +Blastwave "You aplogizing."
 04[02:50] * +Clipped_Cantle glances at Kirengo, then straps her toolkit back to her side. "Ok... let me know if you need my tools."
 15[02:50] * +Kirengo snorts and mumbles. "Lotta good it did..." He looks back to Clipped_Cantle. "Um... got glue?"
 07[02:50] * +Blastwave "Well, it's... uh... I thought it was cute?"
 07[02:51] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head and yawns.
 15[02:51] * +Kirengo "I guess I'll fix it when we get to Bucklyn then..."
 07[02:52] * +Mercury comes back up, tucking the tags into her breastplate.
 07[02:52] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up the river. "Should probably see it any time now, huh? Unless I was asleep for a lot shorter than I thought."
 15[02:53] * +Kirengo "Not long at all."
 07[02:53] * +Blastwave "Yeah, we should have been there about thirteen hours ago."
 07[02:54] * +Clipped_Cantle raises an eyebrow at Blastwave. "Huh?"
 07[02:54] * +Blastwave blinks, "Did I say thirteen? I meant, nevermind. not sure why I said that." Damn you WW making him make meta jokes
 15[02:55] * +Kirengo blinks at Blastwave. "If you weren't a ghoul, I'd think you'd need to get some sleep."
 07[02:55] * +Blastwave "Sleep is for the living."
 15[02:55] * +Kirengo smirks. "It's funny cause..."
 07[02:56] * +Blastwave blinks, "Cause?"
 15[02:56] * +Kirengo "Cause it's usually the other way."
 07[02:56] * +Clipped_Cantle shrugs. Whatever. "Well, I'm going to head downstairs. Pull these rifles off my saddle." She pauses. "Well, should probably ask Moon if I can use that rifle. Doubt she'd say no, but I should still ask..."
 07[02:56] * +Blastwave blinks, "Huh, good point." he looks at Clipped_Cantle, "If she was a green alicorn you could just think it at her
 07[02:57] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns. "I'm kind of glad she isn't, honestly. That mind crap was freaky."
 15[02:57] * +Kirengo thinks that after the lecture she gave Moon earlier, Clipped should most definitely ask first. "Alright, well... don't take too long. I want to get off and see Split as soon as we dock."
 07[02:58] * +Blastwave "/me nods, "Word."
 07[02:59] * +Blastwave can't mind-think today
 04[02:59] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Kirengo. "Yeah, I'll do it later if I get a chance. Just hold on to them for now. Knowing my luck I'd pull them off and we'd get raided by scumbuckets again."
 07[02:59] * +Blastwave redacts, "Yeah we should be there soon. Hopefully without pirates."
 15[03:00] * +Kirengo looks around off the sides of the boat and mumbles again, "Actually been hoping for that..."
 07[03:00] * +Blastwave raises an eyebrow, "Why?"
 04[03:01] * +Mercury turns her head to Kirengo, cocking her ears.
 07[03:02] * +Clipped_Cantle deadpans. "I'd rather not have to do another lifesaving surgery on this deck, if I can avoid it."
 15[03:02] * +Kirengo "You know why."
 07[03:02] * +Blastwave coughs into his hoof, "Well if you're looking to buck something..."
 07[03:03] * +Clipped_Cantle snickers.
 15[03:03] * +Kirengo facewings to hide the blush.
 07[03:04] * +Blastwave chuckles, "Sorry, sorry. Cou;dn't help myself."
 07[03:04] * +Clipped_Cantle mumbles. "Speaking of, need to get more bloodpacks..."
 07[03:04] * +Mercury rolls her eyes and goes back to eagerly watching for the Ranger base.
 07[03:06] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks. "Oh, yeah, I can get those .32's off that other saddle at least. No point hanging on to those."
 15[03:06] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes as his puts his wing back at his side. "Nope, nevermind, raiders wouldn't work either." He shakes his head then looks at Clipped_Cantle. "How many did you use?"
 04[03:06] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Kirengo. "Five of them already. Half of what you got."
 15[03:07] * +Kirengo "I'll assume that's a lot."
 07[03:09] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Using one is too many if you ask me, but five in a few days? Yeah... not a good thing. I'll just make sure to get some more while in Bucklyn. Rather have too many and not need them, you know?"
 07[03:09] * +Blastwave was only half joking about the bucking part, "Get as many as we can afford."
 15[03:09] * +Kirengo nods. "Yeah."
 07[03:10] * +Blastwave thinks they should probably buy lube but is not saying that out loud...
 [03:10] <+Clipped_Cantle> (lmao)
 15[03:10] * +Kirengo had already been thinking of some way to bring that up to the quartermaster... or sneaking into the stock room and finding some.
 [03:11] <+Blastwave> (Gay minds think alike)
 15[03:11] <+Kirengo> (-.-)
 07[03:12] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Will do. I'm going to go work on those .32's. Mind letting me know when we get close to Bucklyn?
 15[03:12] * +Kirengo "Yeah, sure."
 07[03:12] * +Blastwave gets weird vibes and shakes the thoughts, "We can do that."
 [03:13] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Thanks." She heads belowdecks and becomes super-absorbed in pulling those .32's off that saddle because her player is GTFTS.
 07[03:13] * +Mercury is  sure that it would be just as ackward to ask the Quartermaster for weird vibes.
 15[03:16] * +Kirengo stands there and makes innuendo'd filled conversation with Blast until they get to Bucklyn or Mercury comes back over.
 07[03:16] * +Blastwave is also part of the conversation, but makes the funnier jokes :D
