  4. [16:29] * Adder1 is now known as Malethay
  5. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 1[18:56] <~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Ivory raises a brow at Sleek, "Complainin'? I-I mean, not anything s-specific, there's always shit to complain about, w-water lackin', i-it's hot... holy hell a lotta' things to complain 'bout. But no... nothin' l-like that..."
  6. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[18:58] * Sleek hms at Ivory and smiles at her. "Alright. Thank you, Ivory. You've been a big help! We've got the door open, though, so we should report this to Aspen and see about doing more to help you and your people out in your time of need."
  7. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[18:59] <~BroadestPeak|GM> 3The donkey just continues to look confusedly at Malethay, and Antidite just looks amusedly at the diamond dog, "I can appreciate the opinion of ah' fellow practitioner." he says politely, maintaining his ever soothing expression, not put off at all. "Why was the chemicals important to you, iffin' I can ask?"
  8. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[18:59] * Swift_Strike takes Sleek's cue and smiles brightly at Ivory. "And if we're around tonight, feel free to come say hello." He unfurls his wings and prepares to fly down to the others.
  9. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[19:02] <~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen nods slowly, looking more concerned than ever,
  10. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[19:03] * Malethay answers the doctor, "Ponies used chemicals to mine before they asked us to help. Sometimes those miners did a poor job of packing their things back up. If that fire had something that could... react and make... car-bon /mo/-nox-ide or cy-a-nide, I was going to be much more concerned about the ponies who had already fallen asleep. If that was the case, they may not
  11. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 1wake back up. Now... I do...
  12. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[19:03] * Malethay ...have to check in with the group, but is there anything I could do to help right now?" (ping BroadestPeak|GM)
  13. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 03[19:03] * Malethay is now known as Adder1
  14. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 02[19:04] * Adder1 (Adder1@Pony-k70g5t.vpn.uci.edu) Quit (Quit: Life is but a dream, each sleeper a god unknowing.)
  15. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[19:05] <~BroadestPeak|GM> 3GM'd section is over for now. Thank you all!
  16. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[19:05] * Sleek waves to Ivory, then looks at Swift_Strike and is glad that he picked up on what she was going for and is following her lead. She too spreads her wings and glides down to where Picket_Fence is. "Can you close the door again, Picket? And where did the sheriff get off to...?" She looks around to see if she can spot Aspen.
  17. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[19:06] * Swift_Strike flies down with Sleek. He stays hovering, keeping an eye out around them, and says to Picket_Fence, "Can you make sure we can get it open and closed quickly?"
  18. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[19:07] <~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen is standing near the burned out building now, seeming to inspect it.
  19. [16:30] <05~BroadestPeak> 01[19:08] * Picket_Fence nods at Sleek and turns to close the door. He blinks at Swift_Strike and raises an eyebrow before opening it once more then closing it again, "Seems to work pretty well."
  20. [16:30] * BroadestPeak is now known as BroadestPeak|GM
  21. [17:01] * Linstock (Snowshoe@Pony-ap1l3f.user.start.ca) has joined #lospegasus
  22. [17:05] * Linstock is still hooked up to the cart of supplies. While everypony is off doing their thang, he's looking for a place to actually put this. He was thankful there wasn't actually any danger in town - at least not currently - but still. He looked around the town, left alone to his own devices, which was totally fine by him.
  23. [17:05] * Menti is now known as Sleek
  24. [17:06] * Cloudcraft is now known as Picket_Fencwe
  25. [17:06] * Picket_Fencwe is now known as Picket_Fence
  26. [17:09] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 4Session official beginning!
  27. [17:13] * Sleek starts to flutter her way over to where Sheriff Aspen is inspecting the burnt out building, but halfway there she ends up landing and covering her nose with a wing before approaching the griffonness.
  28. [17:15] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Linstock is currently located with the cart, which Picket just brought in after Sleek asked him to. In the meantime, Ivory still sits on the outer wall of the town, keeping an eye on things, for now it would seem Swift_Strike sits with her (Better than moving him around!) All the while, Sheriff Aspen is indeed just inside the burned out first floor of the warehouse, having climbed through
  29. [17:15] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3a blackened and burned out window, kneeling to look through the debris with her good eye.
  30. [17:17] * Linstock leaned against the cart and took a look around the town. He tilted the straw cowpony hat he wore back a little and watched as Sleek moved off to go have a chat with the Sheriff. "...seems quiet here," he mumbled to himself.
  31. [17:17] * Sleek is not about to enter a burned out, possibly structurally unsound building, so she sits outside and waits patiently for Sheriff Aspen to have a moment.
  32. [17:20] * Picket_Fence blinky blinks when Sleek flies off then lets out a soft sigh and looks around before addressing Linstock and Swift_Strike, "Sooo what are we doing now?"
  33. [17:21] * Linstock looked over at Picket_Fence. "That's a dang good question," he said. "Y'all have any idea where this cart's supposed to go?"
  34. [17:21] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Antidote smiles lightly at Malethay, patient indeed. "I think that as far as we are here in the clinic, things are well. However, I would say speak with Sheriff Aspen, she's the sheriff. Have you met her? Quite the imposing figure, and she'd likely have things for you." he says with a slow nod before returning to looking over the patients. Just outside across the street, Sheriff Aspen
  35. [17:21] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3stands slowly after a moment, turning and slipping through the burning out window to the outside, huffing. "What a fuckin' mess. Fuck." she breaths out audibly, even under her breath. Swift_Strike looks down at Picket_Fence, "Dunno Picket, I'd say Aspen might have more stuff for us, but all this is fishy if you ask me."
  36. [17:23] * Sleek removes her wing from the tip of her muzzle just long enough to tell Sheriff Aspen, "I do have a bit of good news for you. We've got your door working again." She then covers her muzzle once more.
  37. [17:25] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen turns to face Sleek, nodding slowly. "Excellent, one less rusty cog to fix in this place I 'spose, thank you..." she looks back at the face of the blackened warehouse once more, before turning back to Sleek. "Right, well. We have some talking to do I think." she looks around quickly, hardly noticeable with only her eye moving. "But it would be better off the street I think. Are the
  38. [17:25] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3rest of your group good?"
  39. [17:27] * Malethay nods to doctor. After a few seconds, he says in his nasal tone, "Sirow ngoomeed ma karimagaergad. Ma ma pii loyoer ngaak. Please pardon me for learning of your suffering. You are one to be respected." He stands fully back up. "I will go now. I wish you best." And with that, the dark-brown canine takes his leave and heads back out into the open, spotting Sleek and Sheriff Aspen and approaching them
  40. [17:27] * Malethay . He gives a stout nod to Sleek but otherwise says nothing for now. (ping BroadestPeak|GM)
  41. [17:28] * Picket_Fence shrugs at Linstock, "Dunno. I think Sleek's trying to talk to that griffin sheriff again." he lets out a little groan and trots over to lean against the wall.
  42. [17:28] <Sleek> "Everyone is fine if that's what you're asking," Sleek replies to Aspen, once more removing her wing to speak. "And yes, I think we should." She notes Malethay's approach with a small smile and a nod of her own, then turns back to the griffoness. "Where would you like the cart of supplies parked?"
  43. [17:28] * Linstock shrugged and looked over at Picket_Fence. The groan had caught his attention more than anything. "Feelin' sore?" he asked.
  44. [17:30] * Picket_Fence snorts then shakes his head at Linstock, "Just annoyed."
  45. [17:30] * Linstock blinked. "What with?" he asked Picket_Fence, sitting down against the cart and tilting his hat down a bit.
  46. [17:30] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen shrugs, "Where it is is fine, I have Ivory at the gate for the next few hours until the next set of Deputy's start their shift. Unless you want to pull it further in, but honestly I don't want that shit to spontaneously combust like this fucking warehouse did..." she huffs lightly. "Might be better there if you ask me, but it is your charge." she tells Sleek, eying Malethay for a
  47. [17:30] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3moment before nodding to the canine as well.
  48. [17:32] * Sleek shakes her head at Aspen, smiling softly. "No, it is yours. Our job was to deliver it to you, and deliver it we have. If you are fine with it at the gate, then there it shall stay." She looks to Malethay. "Could you gather the others over here, please?"
  49. [17:34] * Malethay looks to Sleek and nods before heading over to the gate where Swift Strike, Linstock, and Picket_Fence are currently. Upon approaching, he reports to them, "It seems we are going to have a group talk with the sheriff. Please follow." With that, he turns back around and starts heading back toward Sleek.
  50. [17:34] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen laughs dryly, "Oh, well that's good. Yea, definitely at the gate then. That's the best for now." she says with a nod.
  51. [17:34] * Picket_Fence scowls and looks around the town for a moment then gestures towards the general direction of the burnt building with a hoof. He speaks to Linstock a bit more softly "Nobody here has a clue what's going on, the one guy they trusted with communication isn't here and that sheriff is rude and-" he blinky blinks when Malethay shows up and starts speaking then-
  52. [17:35] * Picket_Fence lets out a sigh, "What about the cart?"
  53. [17:36] * Linstock snorted in amusement to what Picket_Fence said. "Yeah, Ah get that." He looked up as Malethay arrived and nodded. The broad stallion stood up and stretched out a little. He was about ready to head out when he heard Picket mention the cart. Oh, right. The cart.
  54. [17:36] * Malethay pauses and looks back at Picket_Fence. After several seconds, he answers, "We're leaving it here away from the warehouse. The sheriff is concerned about it... spon-tan-e-ous-ly com-bus-ting." And then he continues on.
  55. [17:36] * Sleek nods back to Aspen. "So where shall we be having this talk? Also, I would like to borrow your radio at some point so I can report back to the Remnants what has happened."
  56. [17:39] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen looks up at Sleek, "Well, the radio room is actually a little electrical room underground, like a telephone and other services substation room of sorts. We could have the meeting there if that works, 'fact that might be best, doubt my little repair pony is there, but might be."
  57. [17:40] * Picket_Fence raises an eyebrow at Malethay, "So we're just gonna leave all those parts and tools sitting out..." he lets out a sigh after trailing off, "... whatever." trotting to catch up to the diamond dog.
  58. [17:40] * Linstock shrugged at Picket_Fence. "They got guards, an' it's there stuff," he pointed out, following Malethay as well.
  59. [17:44] * Sleek smiles and nods back to Aspen. "That sounds like a good spot to chat, then, and we can... take care of two things at once." She was going to say kill two birds with one stone, but changed her mind.
  60. [17:46] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen turns and watches Linstock, Picket_Fence, Malethay, and Swift_Strike walke up, nodding to them. "Right, we're going to take a short walk then to the radio room. We can talk there." she turns slowly and heads further into town, that is to say towards the other end of the town, another scrap wall is built roughly a block down.
  61. [17:48] * Sleek nods to Linstock, Malethay, and Picket_Fence, then follows after Aspen.
  62. [17:48] * Malethay follows the griffiness to the other side of town, continuing to glance about here and there and keep his ears and nose open as they go.
  63. [17:50] * Linstock followed along, keeping quiet the whole time as he often did.
  64. [17:50] * Picket_Fence sticks close to Sleek as usual, still frowning as he looks around the town.
  65. [17:54] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3It's a short walk as far as things go, Aspen leads them to a set of concrete stairs descending down from the cracked concrete pavement, a rusty rail lining three of the sides. She presses through a metal door which lead to a decently sized concrete and metal made room, on the furthest is a technical board of some sort, having switches, wires, and a number of other dohickeys on it, to the
  66. [17:54] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3left is a metal table which has a refurbished terminal and a ham radio next to it, wires running into the technical board. On the opposite wall is a metal cabinet as well as a work bench and a shelving unit with metal boxes and a single toolkit on it. She steps to the side, holding the door open for the followers.
  67. [17:55] * Linstock remained amused by Picket_Fence's dedication to Sleek as they walked along. They entered into the radio room and he let out a low whistle. Now this was stuff he knew well enough. Mechanical devices and the most basic of arcanotech. "Nice place," he said.
  68. [17:56] * Sleek pats Picket_Fence's side with a wing as they trot along and gives him a small smile. When they reach the underground bunker, she takes a quick look around before making her way over toward the radio and sitting down while everyone else gets settled in.
  69. [17:57] * Malethay eyes the strange devices warily as he steps into the radio room with the others. After a few seconds, he looks down at Linstock and Picket_Fence and asks, "Does all of this still look like it's working?"
  70. [17:57] * Picket_Fence seems to cheer up a little bit when sleek pats his side. His frown softens a little. As soon as the get inside the bunker his attention is immediately drawn by the radio and other electronics which he instantly moves to inspect.
  71. [17:57] * Linstock trotted around the room along with Picket_Fence, trying to see what he could see to answer Malethay's question.
  72. [17:57] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen closes the metal door behind them, leaning against the wall nearest the door, tapping the tip of her shotgun against the wall, making a soft tinking sound.
  73. [18:00] * TicTac is now known as Qindeo
  74. [18:02] * Linstock shrugged at Malethay. "Looks alright, far as Ah can tell."
  75. [18:03] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> Unfortunately, Picket_Fence can't tell if everything is operational with a simple look over.
  76. [18:03] * Picket_Fence nods in agreement with Linstock even though he's not actually all that sure.
  77. [18:04] * Malethay huffs softly and sniffs the air, taking a look around the room before settling his eyes back on Aspen, waiting silently. (ping BroadestPeak|GM)
  78. [18:05] * Picket_Fence tries to ascertain what the board of switches, wires and 'doohickeys' actually is meant to control.
  79. [18:05] * Sleek eyes Aspen's shotgun for a moment before looking up at the griffonness's face once more. "So, what is it you wished to talk about?"
  80. [18:06] * Linstock looked over at aspen, trying to discern why she had her shotgun out. He couldn't guess why, so he stayed quiet.
  81. [18:07] * Malethay_ (Adder1@Pony-q2fc2h.vpn.uci.edu) has joined #lospegasus
  82. [18:07] * Malethay_ is now known as Adder1
  83. [18:07] * Malethay (Adder1@Pony-q2fc2h.vpn.uci.edu) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Adder1)))
  84. [18:07] * Adder1 is now known as Malethay
  85. [18:08] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen looks up at Sleek, standing up straight. "Well, bottom line. No way that fuckin' building lit itself on fire, and there really wasn't anythin' in it that could or should have lit up. Bottom line, Somehow I doubt all this is a coincidence and I don't know who's causin' the fuckery." she says flatly, "You're the only ones who ain't from here that are around, so I can rule you out
  86. [18:08] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3pretty well I think... thus I'd like your help to look into it, and see if my gut feelin' actually holds any water." she sighs, "Otherwise this is just a really, really shitty week for this lil' town."
  87. [18:10] * Linstock listened to Aspen as they spoke. She seemed fairly confident so that was good. He hummed a bit, just listening for now. He'd help if it came to that, too.
  88. [18:11] * Picket_Fence pipes up, "Uh isn't it like, your job as sheriff to do that?"
  89. [18:13] * Sleek listens carefully to Aspen and, once she's done speaking, nods in agreement. "I'd have to agree that too much has happened too fast for it to be a coincidence, but I'll have to call in and speak with the Remnants before we can commit to helping you here. I'm certain they'll give us the go ahead, but until we've spoken with them we can't make any promises." She looks around at
  90. [18:13] * Sleek Linstock, Malethay, Picket_Fence, and Swift Strike, then reaches out with a wing to poke Picket_Fence. "There's no shame in asking for help when faced with a problem you cannot solve on your own, Picket."
  91. [18:15] * Picket_Fence blinks in surprise and frowns slightly when Sleek pokes him. He starts to retort, "But m... yeah I guess." he gives a little shrug and just leans against a wall.
  92. [18:17] * Linstock nodded to Sleek. "Ah'd hate to have th'army come down on our heads for not talkin' to 'em first, but Ah'm willin' to help if help's needed."
  93. [18:18] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen chuckles, "Here's the real issue, that's exactly it. I don't want the fucker to up and slip away as soon as he or whoever sees me coming. And trust me, I stick out most of the time, but they wouldn't see you comin' because they don't know you're involved."
  94. [18:19] * Malethay narrows his beady eyes before reporting to Sleek, Swift, Linstock, Picket_Fence, and Aspen. "There is something in the air... like... cleaning powder." He sniffs strongly. "And like something died here." He slowly wanders around the room, sniffing before coming across the table. He hunkers down and looks underneath, tracing one of his claws in the air above what appears to be a faded puddle...
  95. [18:19] * Malethay ...of some sort.
  96. [18:19] <Malethay> *some sort on the floor.
  97. [18:20] * Sleek nods to Aspen, then raises a brow at Malethay. "Is that so? Hmm..." She turns back to the griffonness. "When, exactly, was the last time you saw your tech person?"
  98. [18:21] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen looks towards Sleek, "See... saw the tyke... yesterday morning. Dead certain of it. Said hi as he ate breakfast." she says thoughtfully to Sleek, raising a brow, the cogs in her mind clearly running.
  99. [18:23] * Picket_Fence sniffity sniff sniffs at the air when Malethay speaks, "I don't smell anything." he blinks and tilts his head as Malethay gets under the table, raising an eyebrow at the diamond dog.
  100. [18:23] * Malethay grimaces. "Can't tell what this is," he says to Sleek, Swift, Linstock, Picket_Fence, and Aspen as he stands back up. "What I can tell is that something died here and someone tried to clean it away."
  101. [18:24] * Sleek hms at Aspen and rubs her chin with a wing. "And Ivory said she saw him last night as well... hm." She looks to Malethay. "Can you perhaps tell how long ago this happened?"
  102. [18:24] * Linstock blinked. The plot thickened. A murder mystery of some kind. Interesting. He smelled nothing out of the ordinary, but that might just be because Malethay was a diamond dog. That probably helped.
  103. [18:24] * Picket_Fence raises his other eyebrow at Malethay, "You sure about that?" he asks skeptically.
  104. [18:26] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen just raises a brow, though she doesn't say anything, she simply listens for now.
  105. [18:28] * Malethay looks at Picket_Fence for several seconds. "I was a doctor for my town. Both scents are familiar to me." He then looks at Sleek. "I can't tell from the cleaner. Maybe three, four days." He then looks at the griffiness. "Sheriff, I also think that somebody started the fire. There was a strange smell coming from the warehouse. What it was I couldn't tell, but it is a very... strange smell....
  106. [18:28] * Malethay ...Something that wouldn't come from a place where you store tools and scrap."
  107. [18:29] * Linstock looked over at Malethay and blinked a bit. "Why'd somepony kill a simple repairpony?" he mused out loud.
  108. [18:30] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen nods lightly to Malethay, "Oh? Hell your nose is something then friend, but you know what else that means? Means there could be evidence in the warehouse, 'specially if it left a distinct smell. Means someone could have used special sorta thing to do it. Could give us a lead."
  109. [18:31] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen also adds, "And if someone died here... really need to find my little repair pony. This is his shack after all." she rubs her forehead, "What a mess..."
  110. [18:32] * Picket_Fence still looks skeptical but doesn't raise any further protest. He simply listens while occasionally glancing at Sleek and the equipment in the room.
  111. [18:33] * Sleek wrinkles her nose at Malethay. "Perhaps an accelerant?" She hms and flutters her wings, then looks at Linstock. "I've no theories on that on the moment, but I do have a hypothesis on what happened in this room." She looks at Aspen. "You've seen him recently, yet he has not called the Remnants as he was supposed to. Right about the same time they stopped communicating is when Malethay
  112. [18:33] * Sleek thinks that someone died here. Frankly, Sheriff, I believe you may have a changeling problem. I think it may have killed your repair pony, taken his place, and has been causing the trouble. I could be wrong. There isn't any decisive evidence, but it fits."
  113. [18:34] * Linstock tried to fit the pieces together himself, and arrived at a conclusion about the same time Sleek did. His conclusion was close, but didn't involve changelings anyway. "Ah thought changelings was all about love an' stuff. An' stayin' sneaky. What's one get outta killin' a repairpony an' raisin' Tartarus?"
  114. [18:35] * Malethay looks at Sleek and Linstock and waits a few seconds before asking, "What is a change-ling?"
  115. [18:35] * Picket_Fence blinkity blink blink blinks at Sleek then widens his eyes in shock and nodnods in agreement with Linstock
  116. [18:35] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen nods slowly. "Actually, I was thinking along those lines... however, for us to make that call... we need to find Rivet, his body, I don't give a fuck what, something to make that a real possibility." she shakes her head, "Swear to goodness I'm back in the fuckin' military... shit on top of shit."
  117. [18:36] * Linstock looked over at Malethay. "Bugged shaped thang what change into other ponies an' feeds off love. So them books go anyway."
  118. [18:39] * Sleek wingshrugs at Linstock. "I've no idea. That's the one thing we're lacking at the moment: A motive. I can think of a half dozen reasons why anyone, a changeling included, could want to do something like this, but it'd be pure speculation without any real grounds." She looks at Malethay, then nods toward Linstock. "They're a parasitic race of emotion devouring insectoid equines. I
  119. [18:40] * Sleek don't know much in the way of specifics about them, but I know that much." She looks back to Aspen. "Indeed we do. And this is all the more reason for us to call it in. We may need backup ourselves."
  120. [18:41] * Linstock pointed a hoof at Sleek. "She's better at speakin' fancy-like than Ah am," he said simply. He nodded as well. "Ah don't like that there might be one lurkin' around." He glanced at Aspen for a moment. They couldn't turn into griffons could they? Because it'd be one hell of an easy way to get rid of 'em: in a small area of a basement, with a shotgun at close quarters.
  121. [18:42] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen takes a breath and nods, "Alright, give it a call on the radio there... should connect direct with their lil' comm center. Try and get whatever it is you need, clearance, all that." the griffiness absent mindedly flicking open the breach of her shotgun to look over the shells inside, before slamming it shut again.
  122. [18:44] * Sleek smiles at Aspen. "Thank you. Would it be too much of a bother to ask for some refreshments? It has been a long day already and will likely be longer still."
  123. [18:44] * Malethay slowly raises both brows at Linstock's and Sleek's words. He makes no comment on the matter as his ears flick to the sound of Aspen checking over her shotgun. "Could you please not do that?" he asks the griffiness.
  124. [18:45] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen shrugs, "You're contractors, I can direct you to the lil' town shop of ours for that sorta thing. But we needta' finish up here first." she answers Sleek with a nod.
  125. [18:45] * Picket_Fence perks up his ears at the mention of using the radio and immediately darts over to it, "Want me to get it set up?" he asks the party in general but Sleek especially.
  126. [18:46] * Linstock looked over at Picket_Fence and snorted in amusement. He liked keeping the stallion around just out of pure amusement factor at this point. "Go for it. Holler for help if'n ya need it."
  127. [18:47] * Sleek nods to Picket_Fence and gestures toward the radio. "Please do, Picket." She turns back to Aspen and smiles again. "Oh, yes, but I thought perhaps we could save some time and get that arranged while I'm talking to the Remnants, is all. I have bits to pay for some things."
  128. [18:48] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen raises a brow and looks over at Malethay, "Uh, I'll check to make sure I got a couple problem solves loaded when I want, mmmk? Sorry pal, can't be too safe and I'm not about to get caught with my panties around my paws." though she does offer Malethay an apoligetic smile.
  129. [18:48] * Picket_Fence smiles and nods at Sleek then immediately turns to start fideling with the radio and console to see if he can get in contact with their bosses.
  130. [18:48] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen raises a brow at Sleek, "You can iffin' you like."
  131. [18:49] * Linstock looked at Aspen. "In th'meantime, if'n this repairpony... what was their name again? If'n they ain't here, where'd they be?"
  132. [18:50] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen looks up to Linstock, he is rather tall after all... and handsome. "Well, only immediate place I can think is his pad in the apartment building. I mean it was that or the warehouse or here most of the time as far as I know, didn't really track his social doings."
  133. [18:51] * Picket_Fence frowns in annoyance when the radio fails to turn on and tries tapping it with his hoof a few times. After a moment he decides to unplug it and see whether he can get the thing open with his bare hooves to look inside.
  134. [18:51] * Linstock didn't seem to outright notice that Aspen noticed he was handsome. That's cause he didn't notice. "Y'all mind if we check it out?" It might provide them with some further clues, once Picket_Fence got the radio going.
  135. [18:52] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Picket_Fence can in fact unplug it! But as he picks it up, the entire back panel of the radio falls off with a loud thunk onto the table, the inside was gutted, quite a bit of a mess as it looked like someone took a knife to the internals of the poor radio.
  136. [18:52] * Sleek smiles patiently at Aspen, thinking she's a bit dense. "I suppose we'll do that when we're done here, then, since none of us know where to go to purchase anything like that." She turns to look and see what Picket_Fence is doing... just in time to watch the back of the radio fall off. "...something tells me it was not supposed to do that."
  137. [18:53] * Picket_Fence simply stares at the empty backside of the radio for a few seconds before falling flat on his rump and face hoofing.
  138. [18:54] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen nods lightly to Linstock, "Yea, go for it. If he ain't there I don't care iffin' you break the fuckin' door down. Find that pony." she also leans around Linstock to look at the radio on the table, and it looks like she might just fly off the deep end. "FUUUUUUU..." she starts to rumble loudly.
  139. [18:55] * Malethay looks over to Picket_Fence and the radio as the rear panel clatters off. He watches silently but very clearly grimaces before looking at Aspen and flattening his ears, appearing to do so less out of melancholy and more out of irritation.
  140. [18:55] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen looks over to Sleek and nods, she wouldn't have said it because that would be meta, but she ain't a paige for errands unless it was on task.
  141. [18:56] * Sleek raises a brow at Aspen. "Do remember that we have a cart full of electronics sitting upstairs before you blow your top, Sheriff."
  142. [18:57] * Linstock looked over at the radio and blinked. "Well, there's yer problem..." he mumbled. "Well, Ah'm lovin' this job more an more," he said quietly. "Ah'll go get some of the electronics."
  143. [18:57] * Picket_Fence lets out a dramatic sigh then stands and starts heading for the stairs, "I'll go grab the parts to fix it... buck it I'll grab the whole cart."
  144. [18:58] * Picket_Fence blink blinks at Linstock and smiles slightly as they both say it at almost the same time.
  145. [18:58] * Linstock smiled at Picket_Fence. "Come on, Ah'll help. Y'all know what's needed, an Ah can carry more'n you can."
  146. [18:58] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen nods, "I realize that... but I'm startin' to get a tad mixed of pissed and scared, how many things is this fucker breakin'? What if they break somethin' more important..." she shakes her head and sighs, "Well, as much as I want to stay, I need to go get my other deputies up, looks like I need everyone on their game for the time being." she looks back to Sleek, "You got this under
  147. [18:58] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3control for now?"
  148. [19:00] * Sleek looks between Linstock and Picket_Fence with a small smile. "Stick together. Don't let each other out of your sights. From here on out we go in pairs at a minimum until we figure out more of what's going on, ok?" She nods to Aspen, still smiling. "It seems we're on this job after all. I'm going to use my judgement here and say that the Remnants would be more upset if we went back
  149. [19:00] * Sleek to report and left you hanging than if we did this job without their ok."
  150. [19:01] * Malethay looks at Sleek and says after several seconds, "I am not enthusiastic or confident in picking out things inside of a burned-out warehouse. I would rather save that for last and see what can be found at the a-part-ment."
  151. [19:01] * Picket_Fence nods at Sleek, "Yeah alright." he trots up the stairs and starts to open the door before checking that Linstock is with him.
  152. [19:02] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen nods, "I can be back here in a little bit, if you want someone to show you where to go to find Rivet
  153. [19:02] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3...room, or I can send a deputy like Ivory or the like. Anyways, be back in a bit." the griffiness turns and heads out, sighing.
  154. [19:03] * Linstock followed Picket_Fence, making sure to keep relatively close to him. He didn't want one of them to get separated and have to do that thing where he had to convince Picket he was the real Linstock using facts only the real Linstock would know. He hummed quietly as he walked along.
  155. [19:04] * Picket_Fence trots with Linstock over to the cart and, once there, begins hitching himself up to it, "So... changeling."
  156. [19:05] * Linstock watched Picket_Fence hook himself to the cart. "Sure y'all don't want me to do that? An' yeah, looks like it. Least that's what we're all guessin' anyway."
  157. [19:05] * Sleek nods and waves to Aspen as she heads out. "That sounds like a plan, Sheriff. Chin up, we'll figure this out." She looks back to Malethay and nods in agreement. "I'm not liking the idea of rooting through a building that could potentially collapse if we bump the wrong wall, either. So yes, the apartment would be a good place to start. After Picket and Linstock try to fix the radio,
  158. [19:05] * Sleek at least. They may be able to given that the Remnants thought the problem was a communications issue in the first place, but... the damage is extensive. We may be on our own."
  159. [19:05] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Linstock and Picket_Fence wouldn't have a hard time, it was late afternoon now and the town was fairly quiet all things considered, Ivory still sat at the gate, the mare looking less jittery for the time being, but that could change of course given she knew what was happening.
  160. [19:07] * Malethay nods in agreement with Sleek. "Will we look at the apartment together after those two get back here?"
  161. [19:07] * Malethay (Adder1@Pony-q2fc2h.vpn.uci.edu) Quit (Quit: Life is but a dream, each sleeper a god unknowing.)
  162. [19:07] * Picket_Fence rolls his eyes just a tiny bit at Linstock, "Yeah I'm fine. You're not the only strong earth pony here." he begins hauling the cart back with little trouble, though Linstock would probably get it done slightly faster, "Ever seen one before? I've only seen a picture. Ew..." he shudders.
  163. [19:08] * Linstock shrugged and started to walk alongside the cart. He made sure his rifle was ready as he did. "Ah ain't seen more'n a picture mahself. Ah'm hopin' it ain't what we're dealin' with."
  164. [19:10] * Picket_Fence frowns and nods, "Yeah me too. They'd be creepy enough without the whole looking like real ponies and eating love thing." he unhitches himself once they get back and begins riffling inside the cart for components he could use to basically reconstruct a radio.
  165. [19:11] * Linstock snorted softly. "Ah'd bet y'ain't happy about 'em eatin' love," he teased. He collected some of the components into his own saddlebag to help get more extra crap into the radio room in case they needed it.
  166. [19:11] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Picket has little trouble, there was all manner of supplies. Scrap electronics and sensor modules and anything that might be needed to jury rig a radio like the one downstairs.
  167. [19:12] * Picket_Fence quirks an eyebrow at Linstock in confusion, "Whatcha mean?" also loading up his saddlebags before heading back downstairs and making a beeline for the radio again.
  168. [19:14] * Malethay (Adder1@Pony-o3866d.vpn.uci.edu) has joined #lospegasus
  169. [19:15] * Sleek hms at Malethay. "That may be a possibility, but... I'm afraid that you left our sight, Malethay. I hate to ask this of you, but I'm going to need to confirm you are who you say you are. We had a choice to make before we took on this mission, a choice involving you. What was it?" She's fairly sure the diamond dog hasn't been bodysnatched, but it's a case of better safe than sorry.
  170. [19:15] * Linstock shrugged. "Just that y'all so impossibly devoted to Sleek. Practically glowin'," he pointed out as he followed Picket_Fence downstairs and deposited the stuff from his saddlebags.
  171. [19:17] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Linstock sadly can't make out how to fix the radio, however Picket_Fence...
  172. [19:18] * Malethay makes no distinguishable reaction to Sleek's accusation and concern. After several seconds, he answers Sleek, "The choice was between taking a kit of standard medical supplies or purchasing them at a discount. We went with the standard kit."
  173. [19:19] * Picket_Fence fiddles around inside the radio with various tools and electronics he retrieved from the cart for several minutes, tail swishing as he works. The teal earth pony eventually pulls back with a triumphant smirk. He pumps his hoof in victory then immediately begins trying to tune in the Remnants.
  174. [19:20] * Linstock tilted his hat back as he watched Picket_Fence work, humming quietly to himself. "Glad y'all got it workin'. How's the reception?"
  175. [19:21] * Sleek bows her head to Malethay a touch. "Indeed. Thank you, and my apologies for the suspicion. Better safe than sorry, yes? In fact..." She looks to Picket_Fence and Linstock. "Did you see Aspen around when you came back? And you got the radio working again? Excellent!"
  176. [19:21] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3The radio clicks, and the dial on the front lights up, static emitting from the small mics on the front of it, now alive once more. Radio chatter can also be heard immediately, clearly between other townships and the Remnants based on the chatter regarding supplies and other buzz words.
  177. [19:22] * Malethay nods slowly to Sleek. After a few seconds, he asks, "Can... changelings turn into things other than ponies?"
  178. [19:22] * Linstock looked over at Sleek and hsook his head. "Ah didn't, know, but Ah weren't lookin'."
  179. [19:23] * Picket_Fence glances back at Sleek and shakes his head before smirking again, "Yeah it's working " he just kind of listens for a few moments then looks at her again, Uuuh, you wanna talk to them?"
  180. [19:24] * Picket_Fence also shakes his head in response to sleeks first question because -10 karma to dust off
  181. [19:25] * Sleek gives Malethay a wry smile. "I've no idea, but I think we are thinking the same thing. Taking the form of the sheriff after starting all these issues would be a clever way to make sure nobody got too close to discovering what truly happened here, wouldn't it? She also seemed to get more upset after I mentioned changelings... and fiddling with that gun... I'm rather suspicious." She
  182. [19:25] * Sleek nods to Linstock, then turns to Picket_Fence and takes the radio. "Thank you, Picket."
  183. [19:26] * Linstock nodded to what Sleek said. "Yeah. Ah wasn't liking..." he slowly trailed off as a thought hit him. "Aw, fuck. Did anypony see which way she went?" he suddenly asked the group.
  184. [19:26] * Picket_Fence grins wider and swishes his tail, "Yeah no big deal." he's clearly beaming though. He shakes his head at Linstock.
  185. [19:28] * Sleek shakes her head at Linstock. "I was trying to occupy her with the refreshments thing. I was planning on sending you and Swift with her to go get the food and drink, but... well, that ploy didn't work. For now, though, Swift, if you could keep an eye on the door that would be wonderful."
  186. [19:29] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3A knock raps thrice on the door, before it opens and Aspen peeks back in, "Hey, I'm back. Got all my deputies in order. Didn't give them any specific details, better that way seein' as there is all this cloak and dagger bullshit goin' on." she steps in and closes the door behind her. Unfortunately she beat Swift to the door, timing.
  187. [19:30] * Linstock grunted a bit. "If whatcha say's right, Sleek, then ten gets ya twenty she went off to teh apartment first." He managed to get it out before Aspen poked back into the room.
  188. [19:32] * Sleek nods to Linstock and is about to say something further when Aspen knocks on the door and comes back inside. "More good news, Sheriff. We fixed the radio." She smiles at the griffonness and studies her intently.
  189. [19:32] * Malethay looks down at Sleek from Linstock's words. "We should get moving then," he says without the characteristic pause to his words, already starting off.
  190. [19:33] * Linstock nodded to Malethay. He didn't like the thought, but really, when changlings were involved, anypony could be suspicious. "Ah don't like this town one bit."
  191. [19:34] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen sighs softly, looking relieved. "Good, thank goodness. Bein' out of the loop ain't no good, plus I want to double check to see iffin' old Bombate really sent you all. Safer to check seein' as we've been friends forever." she motions to the radio, "You call in yet or?"
  192. [19:34] * Picket_Fence scowls and nods in agreement with Linstock, "Yeah."
  193. [19:35] * Sleek holds up a wing toward Malethay. "Just a moment. Let me call in to the Remnants first, then we can go." She shakes her head at Aspen. "Was just about to if you'd like to listen." With that, she turns toward the radio to inform the Remnants about the situation in Jasmine, including her suspicions that a changeling may be responsible for the foul play.
  194. [19:35] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen raises a brow at Linstock, "You don't havetah' like it I 'spose, but I 'spose that doesn't have a lot to do with helpin' out. Which I do appreciate, truly."
  195. [19:36] * Linstock waved a dismissive hoof at Aspen. "Ain't got nothin' to do with th'folks here, more just... bein' in a town with a possible changelin' raisin' all sortsa trouble. That's rubbin' me the wrong way a little."
  196. [19:37] * Malethay pauses as Sleek calls out and then stands firm, crossing his arms as he waits and watches them call in.
  197. [19:37] * Picket_Fence looks at Aspen as well. When Linstock mentions the townspeople he simply purses his lips.
  198. [19:38] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Bombate finds his way onto the radiowaves after Sleek identified who they were. After Sleek informed him of the situation he asks her a series of questions only the group could have known before they left. He also notably questions Aspen as well about things that happened at least five years ago, and she seems content enough to answer and satisfy Bombate. After all that, Bombate tells
  199. [19:38] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Sleek to go ahead and do what they have to, he had the coin the reimburse their efforts assuming they did well.
  200. [19:39] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen turns to Linstock, "So if it wasn't a changeling that was doing this, you'd feel better despite the possible homicide and all this sabotage?" she asks flatly.
  201. [19:40] * Linstock nodded to Aspen. "Least we'd be able t'pin down whoddunit an' run 'em to ground. A changelin' just needs t'be outta sight a bit an' flip its face, an' suddenly we gotta track 'em down again."
  202. [19:40] * Picket_Fence frowns at Aspen then simply nods, "Yeah pretty much."
  203. [19:40] * Sleek smiles a little wider after the conversation with Bombate and looks around at Aspen, Linstock, Malethay, and Picket_Fence. "Well... it seems that the only people we can trust for the moment are the ones in this room. Perhaps we should come up with a code word or phrase for quick identification of each other?"
  204. [19:42] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen looks back at Sleek, "Well, you all know one another. Seein' as I'm the odd one out I suppose something to tell you about me that very, very few would know might help?"
  205. [19:45] * Malethay looks at Sleek and asks, "Like what exactly?"
  206. [19:47] * Sleek rolls a wing at Aspen. "That could work, but it doesn't need to be personal. Bombate is satisfied with your answers, so unless he's in on it we can trust you as is. I was thinking of something simple. Quick, easy, likely won't be said at random without proper context." She looks at Malethay. "Hmm... perhaps... pomegranate?"
  207. [19:48] * Linstock shrugged. "Ah'd love t'try workin' that into a sentence," he teased. "But it'll work. Impossible to guess, easy to remember."
  208. [19:48] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen nods lightly, "I really miss the pomegranate's they used to serve in the chow hall." she says with a chuckle.
  209. [19:48] * Malethay grimaces at Sleek. "Palm-ih...granite?"
  210. [19:49] * Sleek nods to Linstock and Aspen, then chuckls at Malethay. "Pomegranate. Don't worry if you don't get it exactly right, Mal. Frankly, I'd be more suspicious if you did. Clearly Equestrian is not your first language."
  211. [19:51] * Picket_Fence simply shrugs and nods in agreement, "Sure guess that works."
  212. [19:51] * Linstock nodded to Malethay. "Y'all'll be fine," he said simply. "So, we gots the code worde an' all that. Now what?"
  213. [19:52] * Malethay shakes his head in response to Sleek. "My second. Ea qua nu Waqab. I will try to get close to it."
  214. [19:54] * Sleek nods to Malethay, then looks between Aspen, Linstock, Picket_Fence, and Swift. "Now I say we investigate the apartment. See what we can find."
  215. [19:55] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen looks over at the computer terminal and the radio, "Gonna' need to lock this room up from now on, maybeh' post a Deputy on it. Don't want the job tah' be more thorough next time around."
  216. [19:56] * Linstock nodded to Aspen. "Make it two, an make sure they always see where th'other is. An' make sure they ain't dumb enough to walk single-file down a hall either."
  217. [19:57] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen raises a brow at Linstock, "Jeez, or I could ask them questions only they would know perhaps? I don't want shit to be too obvious on the outside. The lower profile we can keep this, better chance we have of catchin' the fucker."
  218. [19:58] * Linstock shrugged, ears folding back a bit and a blush creeping into his face. "Ah'm jussayin'..."
  219. [19:59] * Malethay is now known as Adder1
  220. [19:59] <05~BroadestPeak|GM> 3Aspen smiles, "Oooh, do that more often, the blush looks good handsome." she says with a laugh, before flipping the switch right the fuck back to serious mode.
