- [20:12:22] Rabtar our group has spent a bit of time resting in an abandoned house... but has apparently done more arguing and fighting than resting that the powers that bee were not privy too... It is now mid-day and our group still have some rad-away to get...
- [20:13:39] Twobits sits up, rubbing her head, ”Right... what were we supposed to be doing again?”
- [20:16:37] Volta climbs down into the house from the window looking over at Twobits
- [20:17:15] Twobits waves absently to Volta, rubbing her joints as she flexes, ”Ugh, feel 20 years older...”
- [20:18:30] Beanbag Beanbag trots down the stairs, her eyes look a bit red. "We're supposed to go... north to north-east from here. To the factory. Take out whatever is in there and get a boatload of Rad-Away for Waterhole."
- [20:18:41] Volta Volta stretches like a cat and nods "that encounter was not pleasant no"
- [20:22:35] Beanbag checks her firearms again and secures them. "We ready?"
- [20:22:52] Redmend stands up from her matress. "I am."
- [20:23:41] Twobits shakes her head a little, ”not sure... head's still sorer than a firedrake in winter...”
- [20:25:08] Redmend walks over to Twobits. "How much did you drink? Stuff without alcohol, I mean."
- [20:25:38] Volta nods "yes, let us continue" she looks over to Twobits her head cocked
- [20:25:49] Twobits thinks a moment... ”not sure, about one bottle's worth?”
- [20:28:26] Redmend "Do you still got some? You should drink at least one more bottle on the way there."
- [20:30:05] Beanbag takes out the bottle of Dirty Water she found along with the revolver "I have that one, if you want it."
- [20:30:13] Twobits nods, grabbing her canteen and taking another draw at it before standing slowly, ”Okay... I think I'm good...”
- [20:32:16] Volta rolls her shoulders and checks her equipment
- [20:42:38] Twobits taps her hooves, ”So... why're we standing around?”
- [20:43:38] Beanbag "Dramatic pause before the narrative flat?"
- [20:44:42] Volta moves to the door and opens at gesturing outside
- [20:47:21] Redmend follows the rest. "I sure hope Aken behaves today..."
- [20:47:31] Rabtar the group set out once more. Looking for the pharmaceuticals building. But lacking a map and not being familiar with the area they become lost. After a brief panic they come to a large road bridge spanning a wide aqueduct. The sign for the pharmaceuticals company can bee seen on the other side. Old wagons and carts are piled up on either side of the bridge. A very old looking earth pony...
- [20:47:31] Rabtar ...stallion with milky white eyes stands in the middle of the bridge...
- [20:49:18] Volta looks around and makes her way over to the colt looking to her party "might be a trap"
- [20:50:19] Beanbag spins the drum of her revolver. "Won't know without checking out. Or we could try and go around it."
- [20:52:16] Twobits nods ”yeah, he's a bit of a bad choice to be guarding a bridge...” she smiles
- [20:52:26] Redmend huffs. "How about tryin to talk first, before shooting ponies to bits?"
- [20:53:35] Rabtar the stallion's gaze shifts to the approaching party "HALT! Who ever wishes to cross the bridge of death must answer me these questions three dare the other side ye see!"
- [20:53:36] Volta stands a bit off from the blind colt and sighs "may i inquire as to why you are here?" she does not have to smile so thats a plus
- [20:54:46] Beanbag "Red, I never open fire first. Keeps the lawyers off you."
- [20:55:16] Twobits chuckles, ”what lawyers? these're the wastes.”
- [20:55:42] Beanbag "You've never been to my Stable, and pray that you never will. Let's get this over with."
- [20:55:43] Volta blinks and shrugs "fine, ask your questions" she flares her wings slightly and cocks her head
- [20:56:08] Rabtar "What is your favorite color?!"
- [20:57:03] Volta blinks "r-red" she cocks her head
- [20:57:21] Beanbag blinks in surprise. "Come again?"
- [20:57:38] Rabtar "What is your quest!?"
- [20:58:18] Volta "to accumulate knowledge" she looks back at her party then back to the colt
- [20:58:42] Beanbag "To seek the holy grail."
- [20:59:50] Twobits shrugs, ”alcohol.”
- [21:00:33] Rabtar Beanbag disappears in a flash of light
- [21:05:51] Volta blinks at Beanbag then straightens up not wishing to anger whatever did that
- [21:06:01] Twobits draws her axe putting it to the colt's throat, ”Bring her back.”
- [21:06:58] Rabtar the stallion grins manically and simply repeats "Who ever wishes to cross the bridge of death must answer me these questions three dare the other side ye see!"
- [21:08:49] Redmend "Ask your question, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid."
- [21:09:07] Redmend (*questionS! dammit keyboard!)
- [21:09:12] Twobits glares, pressing the axe's edge to his throat, ”Ye don't listen tha' well, do Ye. Bring m'friend back or I'll give ye a first-hoof tour of the canal. in pieces.”
- [21:11:29] Rabtar the bridge keeper is suddenly in front of Redmend, not even seeming to move! "Name the bones in the front leg of the average equestrian!"
- [21:12:25] Twobits blinks, glancing around a moment before seeing the keeper and blinking, sitting down hard, ”wha...?”
- [21:13:52] Redmend "What do you mean? Earth Pony, Unicorn or Pegasus?"
- [21:14:28] Rabtar "All of those are equestrian. Answer the question"
- [21:19:10] Redmend "Ugh, fine. Skapula, Humerus, Sternum, Radius, Carpus, Cannon Bone, First, Second and Third Phalange."
- [21:21:03] Rabtar "That's correct. Off ya go" motioning for her to cross the bridge
- [21:21:57] Volta looks at Twobits and thinks about all the things she could be asked
- [21:22:10] Redmend shrugs and crosses. She waits on the other side.
- [21:24:52] Rabtar he turns to Volta "Who is your daddy and what dose he do!"
- [21:27:01] Volta blinks and looks to the others "s-Storm-wing Stonetalon, he is dead"
- [21:28:25] Rabtar "That's correct. Off ya go" motioning for her to cross the bridge
- [21:29:30] Volta shrugs and moves over to Redmend
- [21:31:58] Rabtar he is suddenly standing a mere inch away from Twobits "What is the square root of nine point eight five nine six!"
- [21:33:19] Twobits winds back and swings at the stallion, ”Why don't Ye go fuck yerself?!”
- [21:33:54] Rabtar he cackles and Twobits disappears in a flash of light
- [21:37:13] Volta faceclaws "that one was easy!"
- [21:37:40] Rabtar he goes to ask Aken a question as well and after a moment he joins Volta and Redmend on the other side of the bridge
- [21:38:46] Volta looks at Redmend "what do we do? Twobits and Beanbag increase our odds of success by sixty percent"
- [21:39:24] Redmend "Well...ask him, if he can bring them back?"
- [21:40:02] Volta moves over to the colt "how can we bring them back?"
- [21:45:44] Rabtar he cackles "Answer me a riddle and you may have them back! But answer wrong and share there fate!"
- [21:46:59] Volta looks at Redmend and Aken "ok, ask"
- [21:48:07] Rabtar "You have a barrel of water, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?"
- [21:53:49] Volta blinks "how much does the barrel hold?"
- [21:54:57] Rabtar he twitches and responds in a monotone voice "Standard Equestrian fifty five gallon drum"
- [21:57:12] Volta blinks "what stranded? Prance region or canterlot?"
- [21:59:14] Rabtar "Both use the same.... now stop stalling and answer"
- [22:02:02] Volta blinks "f-fill the 5 gallon jug, then poor the water from there into the 3 gallon jug" she looks back to Redmend and then to the colt "then you poor the gallons 2 into the 3 gallon container and fill the 5 gallon container again" she pauses to think Teen you poor water from the 5 gallon jug into the partially filled 3 gallon jug, leaving you with 4 gallons in the big one. Then you empty the...
- [22:02:04] Volta ...3 gallon jug and poor as much as you can into the 3 gallon jug, leaving you with a full 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug with exactly 1 gallon of water in it" she taps her hooves on the floor
- [22:02:06] Volta (talons)
- [22:02:33] Redmend raises her eyebrow and looks to Volta in disbelief.
- [22:06:08] Rabtar he grins and fades away
- [22:07:13] Volta looks around for the blind colt
- [22:08:38] Rabtar Twobits and Beanbag appear with a flash above the others, falling on top of them
- [22:09:07] Beanbag "Ooof!"
- [22:09:12] Volta looks back at Redmend and Aken "well, that worked out well"
- [22:09:23] Twobits stands up with a jolt, a brush stuck in her mane, ”who what where... huh?”
- [22:10:44] Beanbag rubs her head and collects her shotgun again "Oh fuckin' hell. Twobits, you're the most stupid creature I've ever seen."
- [22:11:37] Redmend groans from the ground.
- [22:11:51] Twobits rolls her eyes, ”didn't see you magicked outta there when you answered the question.”
- [22:12:14] Twobits pulls the brush from her mane, looking it over
- [22:13:19] Rabtar a green alicorn appears infront of the group giggling, her one eye rolling around lazily "Oh that was fun!"
- [22:14:42] Volta pulls up her pulse pistol and points at at the alicorn... it would not hurt the beast, but it might help"
- [22:15:03] Redmend "Oh just great..."
- [22:15:40] Rabtar Volta is merely pointing a teddy bear at the alicorn
- Side Conversation
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:35:36] Beanbag suddenly perks up "Let's play a game of...riddles. If I win, I get out."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:35:39] Beanbag (repost)
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:35:51] Rabtar Twobits appears with a flash and lands on Beanbags head
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:36:06] Twobits glances around, ”wha? I... what?”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:36:33] Beanbag "oof!"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:37:05] Twobits sees beanbag and hugs her, ”you're okay!”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:37:47] Beanbag groans "And you're here."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:38:35] Twobits backs off a bit, ”so... what's the point of this place?”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:38:45] Rabtar a small says from what is most likely the next room over "Answered a question wrong I too hu?"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:40:18] Beanbag "The voice is an crazy alicorn with a lazy eye. Don't pay it any attention."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:41:04] Twobits smacks her face on the floor, ”yer telling me that was some fancy trick back there?”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:41:30] Beanbag "Probably. I have no idea."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:41:53] Beanbag "But they're definetly related to each other."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:42:00] Rabtar the voice giggles "Ruin our fun"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:42:10] Twobits looks around, ”so, where in celestia's name are we?”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:43:17] Beanbag "No fun here."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:43:26] Beanbag "So what about our game?"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:45:27] Twobits smirks, ”Ye sure about this? we could just bash that alicorn's horn in, then find our own way out.”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:45:45] Beanbag "No, it's about four times your size."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:46:39] Twobits grins, ”didn't stop me with the radscorpions.”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:46:53] Rabtar she cackles "A riddle! I will let you go if you can answer a riddle. But get it wrong..." she giggles madly "You will remain here and play with me... FOREVERRRR!"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:47:40] Beanbag "Twobits? I need all the braincells you have left. I'll buy a dozen bottles of whiskey if we make it our here."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:48:07] Twobits nods, ”Fine... but I won't enjoy this...”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:48:33] Rabtar ""Everything I tell you is a lie," am I telling you the truth or a lie?"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:49:37] Beanbag whispers "Think, think, think..."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:50:42] Rabtar the green alicorn pops into the room "It isn't a one gallon barrel silly"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:51:12] Beanbag tries to ignore the alicorn. "Sorry, gotta think."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:52:13] Twobits pauses ”wait...
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:56:18] Twobits grins, ”I'll answer yours if you answer me one thing. what color's my coat?”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [21:58:37] Rabtar she grins down at the much small pony "Your coat is pink"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:04:02] Twobits nods, ”I see.” she walks up and bats a hoof against the alicorn's horn, ”I don't care, because I'm going to try killing whatever put me here, and if you want to be with me 'forever' you'll have to not try to hurt me. so I'm going to do my best to kill /you/.” she pulls the axe across the alicorn's throat, ”whether this is you, or not.”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:04:49] Beanbag "It's a lie. Because your statement is untrue in it's nature."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:05:08] Beanbag "And it's also a paradox. So it's unfair."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:05:43] Rabtar sadly Twobits axe has been replaced with a rubber chicken, and her coat is indeed pink now. She picks her up and hugs her "Oh we are going to have so much fun!"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:06:30] Twobits bites at her neck
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:06:42] Rabtar "Then state the answer silly filly"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:06:47] Beanbag "Twobits! Stop it!"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:07:15] Beanbag "I just told you the answer. You're lying to us."
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:07:33] Twobits gnaws harder
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:07:36] Rabtar Twobits bites do nothing, the alicorn just snuggles her, bringing out a brush "Awww.... I was hoping that would take longer"
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:08:06] Twobits grumps, ”you're cheating. this isn't even you.”
- [23:32:59] Rabtar [22:09:19] Rabtar she kisses Twobits on the nose before there is a bright flash of light....
