[17:34]  * High_Tide jerks awake, clutching at his chest and blankets feebly with his hooves.
[17:35]  * Liven has left a few pills at Tide's side for later, as well as more tea leaves to help him relax and heal.
[17:35]  * CaptGreenHoof sits in a chair across the room, having dozed off.
[17:37]  * CaptGreenHoof has his hat drooping over his eyes and has drool dripping out of his mouth as he snores quietly.
[17:38]  * Liven also left a note at Tide's side, saying "My home is at c-8. Drop by if you ever want to talk."
[17:38] <Phoenix_Down> [yea "talk"]
[17:39]  * High_Tide struggles to sit upright, cringing as he feels the pills from earlier have worn off. Looking at the table with the pills, leaves and note, he glances over at Hoof, feeling a smile tug at his face. "...Green Hoof?" Tide calls softly, feeling the roughness in his own throat with a wince.
[17:42]  * CaptGreenHoof stirs and wakes at his name being called, glancing around the room. "Huh-wha?"
[17:45]  * High_Tide manages to sit upright, blankets drooping to cover his lowerbody and leave his battered chest exposed. "...Where you watching me sleep?" Tide asks curiously. He doesn't seem to be shivering anymore.
[17:46]  * Liven was~
[17:46]  * CaptGreenHoof rubs his eyes, yawning. "Ugh... I feel like shit." He looks at Tide and chuckles. "Yeah. As fun as watching paint dry, heh. How're you feeling?"
[17:50]  * High_Tide looks down at himself, then over to the table. "...Less cold, I think." He kicks his legs under the blankets softly, blinking. "Though I don't know if I can stand, yet." He looks up at Hoof, smiling. "So, what's on the schedule today? More sitting around the house?"
[17:51] <CaptGreenHoof> "Heh... I don't really know. I can try to help you stand up if you want. Maybe we can get you out and about before too long."

[17:54]  * High_Tide glances down at his self and cringes a little. "I... don't think I'll be able to handle that just yet." He says, ears flattening. "But don't worry, I'll be out of your mane soon enough!"
[17:56] <CaptGreenHoof> "Wh-what? No no, that's not what I meant! You can stay here as long as you want! Shit, I don't even think your house is equipped with heating. Hell, I like havin' you here!"
[17:58]  * High_Tide rubs the back of his head. "Jeeze... I haven't been to my place in so long. I almost forgot about it." He lowers his hoof, offering an apologetic smile. "Thanks, Gr- uh, Hoof. I just don'
[17:58]  * High_Tide coughs. "S'cuse me. I don't want to overstay my welcome." He says, eyes falling back at the table.
[17:59]  * CaptGreenHoof tilts his head, looking at High Tide concerned. "Are you okay? What happened to you? Sometimes your speech gets slurred."
[18:03]  * High_Tide blinks. "Right, sorry, I guess it was just the pills." His horn lights up and floats two of the tablets off and towards himself, taking them. "They help with the pain, though." He says after swallowing, itching at his neck under the collar.
[18:03] <CaptGreenHoof> "I'm just kinda worried about you. Like... what's with the collar?"
[18:04]  * CaptGreenHoof resists making a comment about High Tide being into BDSM
[18:07]  * High_Tide shrugs. "It wasn't made to be taken off so there's no key. I'll get it off once I see a mirror, though."
[18:08]  * CaptGreenHoof stands up, taking a few steps closer to the couch. "Well like... how'd it get there?"

[18:13]  * High_Tide shifts where he sits, cracking his back casually. "The collar? It was supposed to be loose enough that I could breathe, but not enough so I could slip it off. Guess I got lucky with how strong it was..."
[18:15] <CaptGreenHoof> "Yeah, but how did it get there? Why're you weain' it?"
[18:16]  * High_Tide shrugs. "Pissed off the wrong people?"

[18:22]  * CaptGreenHoof goes into the kitchen and comes back out with a mug of tea, walking up to the couch and offering it to High Tide. "Want some of Liven's tea?"
[18:23]  * High_Tide looks up, nose twitching. "Yeah... thanks. The stuff really helps." He sips it while glancing around. "Say... this place is pretty big compared to what I've seen of the colony. Is Feldspar living here?"
[18:27]  * CaptGreenHoof sits on his haunches next to the couch. "Nah, she just comes over sometimes. Hesitating Heart lives here, though. I tried to build this place with a little room to spare, but I pretty much keep stuff I don't want people to see in a chest by my bed, so I guess it was kinda pointless."
[18:31]  * High_Tide raises a brow. "Chest, hmm? Hesitating Heart? That sounds to me like you have a special somepony!"
[18:33]  * CaptGreenHoof blushes and looks away, smiling. "H-heh... Yeah..."
[18:35]  * High_Tide grins, leaning forward. "Is she here? She's a real cutie, I bet."
[18:38]  * CaptGreenHoof chuckles. "Heh, nah, she's at the coal refinery. She's the boss over there." [and also not on right now, hue]
[18:38] <CaptGreenHoof> "And yeah... she *is* a real cutie..."
[18:42]  * High_Tide nudges Hoof. "Hey, good for you!" Tide sits upright to sip at the tea, sighing in relief as the pills start to kick in. "At least something good happened while I was away.."
[18:44]  * CaptGreenHoof smiles. "Thanks. Yeah, it hasn't been all bad. A lot of hardships too, though..." Green Hoof trails off.
[18:48]  * High_Tide leans back in the couch, sighing. "I bet. Sorry I couldn't swipe an airship to bring, but as you can see things took a turn for the worse for me, later on." He groans, rubbing the side of his face, feeling it's starting to grow numb. "So are you planning on sitting around all day on account of me?"
[18:50] <CaptGreenHoof> "Heh, it's alright. Too cold to fly anyway. And sorta, but I'd be here anyway. It's Sunday and I still kinda have a hang over from last night..."
[18:52] <High_Tide> "Everyone's pretty much shut-in then, are they?"
[18:53]  * CaptGreenHoof shrugs. "More or less. I'm sure there's some people at the Inn, but it's not like it was when you left. Cold's taking it's toll. And I kinda quit going to the Inn much anyway."
[18:54] <CaptGreenHoof> "Only place I go besides work anymore is to the woods once a week to visit... uh..." Green Hoof stops himself, not sure if he wants to go on.
[18:56]  * High_Tide quirks a brow, tilting his head. "Visit?"
[18:56]  * CaptGreenHoof sighs and looks down, speaking quietly. "...Bob's grave..."
[18:59]  * High_Tide blinks, dumbstruck. The empty much slides from his hoof and falls onto the couch between his lap as he sits in silence.
[19:00]  * CaptGreenHoof just stares at the floor, ears folded back, not sure what to say.
[19:03]  * High_Tide eventually speaks up. "I'm sorry I left, Hoof. I really am."
[19:05]  * CaptGreenHoof holds his eyes shut tight, as if fighting back tears. "I-it's ok-kay..." he chokes out.
[19:07]  * High_Tide pulls himself along the ouch to get closer to Hoof before reaching out with his forelegs and pulling him into a hug. "I'm sorry I wasn't there." He says quietly, feeling himself tear up, too."
[19:11]  * CaptGreenHoof lets Tide pull him into a hug, weakly wrapping his own hooves around Tide, feeling tears fall from his face. He cries softly, burying his face in High Tide's mane.
[19:14]  * High_Tide holds Hoof close, resting his tired chin on the green stallion's shoulder while he rubs his back, doing his best to comfort Hoof. The blue stallion draws in a shuddering breath as he feels himself crying too, staring off at nothing with one watering eye.

[19:15] <High_Tide> ['ll be right back]
[19:15] <CaptGreenHoof> "I h-hate this... Th-things aren't fun anymore, T-Tide... I-I killed people, and stole stuff, and m-most of my f-friends here d-died or ran off..."
[19:15] <CaptGreenHoof> [kkk]
[19:29] <CaptGreenHoof> [Just ping me when you get back]
[19:31]  * High_Tide sniffs, wiping his eye. "Y-yeah... life is hard. But things will get better, Hoof. You have to have faith."
[19:32]  * CaptGreenHoof lets go of High Tide, wiping tears from his face and sniffling. "Y-yeah... I know..."
[19:35]  * High_Tide nudges Hoof, forcing a smile as he looks at him with his bloodshot eye. "I saw airships with my own eye. You'll get your own one day, for sure." he rubs at his eye again, giving a wet, pathetic laugh. "A-and hey, that's just flying. The rest of life will come to, you'll see." He leans back into the couch, covering his face with a hoof, muttering. "...You'll see."
[19:37]  * CaptGreenHoof smiles weakly, nodding and nudging Tide back. "Y-yeah... I can't wait to be a pilot again..."
[19:38]  * High_Tide takes in a long, shuddering breath before smiling, moving his hoof away from his face. "That's the spirit."
[19:39]  * CaptGreenHoof looks up at Tide, blinking. "Wh-what about you?"
[19:40]  * High_Tide wipes at his eye, feigning surprice. "What about me?"
[19:41] <CaptGreenHoof> "What are you gonna do now? G-get make into Maritime?"
[19:43]  * High_Tide lowers his head, staring at his hind legs. "I don't know... I guess I was always fated to be in th- on the water..." He mumbles, before looking up. "I guess that's something I need to think about."
[19:43] <High_Tide> [and now I have to go]

[21:24] <CaptGreenHoof> "Heh, take your time, 'Pirate King'. Your body needs rest. I can try to make it less boring for you here, though. Anything you wanna do or see? I can bring someone over if you want."
[21:27]  * High_Tide pauses, looking down. "I... don't know where to start, really. Catching up on half a year is intimidating, y'know? I guess there's not much to do about being bored, but if you want to bring someone go for it." He frowns, rubbing the side of his head. "The... uh.. the doctors seem to like me."

[21:40]  * CaptGreenHoof tilts his head. "What? Something wrong?"

[21:42] <High_Tide> "I mean, think about it, if I wasn't on death's door when you found me, what would I have said?"

[23:27] <Feldspar> "Oh. What happened next?"
[23:28] <High_Tide> "Well, it's silly, really. He got a little zealous, I guess."
[23:29]  * High_Tide sighs, leaning back in the couch. "I guess I did too." He sits there in silence for a moment, getting the mile-wide stare.
[23:29] <Feldspar> "Who did.  the navy guy?"
[23:29] <Feldspar> *?
[23:30] <CaptGreenHoof> "Sounds like fun."
[23:32]  * High_Tide nods. "He ended up going way out of line, according to the government."
[23:33] <Feldspar> "Really?"
[23:35]  * High_Tide nods again. "Dishonourable discharge. Not that I was a saint."
[23:36] <Feldspar> "Welp. Did you get in any trouble?"
[23:36]  * GreenSleeves smiles, "Didja give him a proper hard time?"
[23:39] <High_Tide> "Plenty of trouble."
[23:40]  * Feldspar giggles "Nice."
[23:40]  * High_Tide blinks, and he smiles, returning to reality. "Yeah, we fought. I won, I think."
[23:40] <CaptGreenHoof> "You... think."
[23:40] <GreenSleeves> "I hope."
[23:41] <Feldspar> "I'd hope!"
[23:42] <CaptGreenHoof> "Is he alive?"
[23:43]  * High_Tide nods slowly. "He's alive, and in prison."
[23:43] <Feldspar> "Wow."
[23:44] <CaptGreenHoof> "Well that's good, at least."
[23:45] <GreenSleeves> "How'd you end up back here?"
[23:46]  * Feldspar yawns, leaning on the couch
[23:47] <High_Tide> "I fell in the river."
[23:47]  * High_Tide rubs his chin. "Just like how it all started."
[23:47] <CaptGreenHoof> "It couldn't have been too far. You would've been an ice cube if you weren't real close when you fell in."
[23:48] <GreenSleeves> "Yeah, but, 'fell in the river' doesn't expain much. I mean, I've fallen in the river before..."
[23:49]  * High_Tide shakes his head slowly. "Actually, I swam for quire a while... The spell lasted for awhile..."
[23:49] <Feldspar> "A protection spell? Wow, that's pretty cool Tide."
[23:52] <High_Tide> "I was just makin' heat, is all. To protect me from the cold."
[23:52]  * Feldspar yawns again "I gotta get going..."
[23:52] <CaptGreenHoof> "Alright, Feld. Stay warm, y'hear?"
[23:52] <GreenSleeves> "S-still, swimming? All this way?"
[23:53]  * GreenSleeves also nods to Feld.
[23:54]  * High_Tide nods. "Alright. You gonna be okay, Feld?" He smiles, glancing at Sleeves. "Yeah, I'm a good swimmer."
[23:55] <Feldspar> "Huh? Yeah, I'll be fine. I live just up the river. I'll see y'all tomorrow, 'kay?"
[23:56]  * Feldspar opens the door, absconding~!
[23:56] <High_Tide> "Alright, g'bye!"
[23:57] <CaptGreenHoof> "Goodnight, Feldie."
[23:57]  * CaptGreenHoof turns back to Tide, sitting on his haunches with wide eyes, wanting to hear more.
[23:58] == Feldspar [Feldspar@c50-27-61-17.mdlncmtk01.tx.dh.suddenlink.net] has quit []
[00:00]  * High_Tide leans back on the couch, pulling his hind legs up with a cringe, before smiling. "So- I did find lots of friends along the way. Ponies that stuck with me through thick and thin. I was really lucky."
[00:01]  * High_Tide rubs his chin, grinning. "And not just ponies..."
[00:01] <CaptGreenHoof> "Not just ponies?"
[00:02] <CaptGreenHoof> "What - or who - else?"
[00:02] <GreenSleeves> "Like, gryphons?"
[00:03]  * High_Tide nods. "And dogs. And monsters. And half-bears, half-owls that apparently belong to some wizards up the coast.
[00:04]  * CaptGreenHoof frowns and looks down, remembering the last Gryphon he met. He soon looks up to Tide again with a raised eyebrow. "You know, normally I'd call bullshit, but considering all the shit that happens in this world I'm not too surprised."
[00:05] <GreenSleeves> "Shit, we're practically tripping over mosters and shit every time we step into the woods."
[00:05]  * CaptGreenHoof scratches the back of his neck. "Yeah..."
[00:07]  * High_Tide nods. "Yeah, I'll bet." He pauses, rubbing at his side. "Word travels pretty fast in Equestria. I wonder if you've met anypony... or anything that's heard of me."
[00:07] <CaptGreenHoof> [gah I feel like a pretentious fuck with "Capt" in front of my name all the time. But I don't know how to change the registration...]
[00:08] <CaptGreenHoof> "Yeah, actually... Not too long ago you came back. Or rather, a changeling that looked like you. I never got the full story, but it had something to do with a circus and stuff..."
[00:08] <GreenSleeves> [I'll help you with it tomorrow]
[00:08] <CaptGreenHoof> [kkk]
[00:08] <GreenSleeves> "Yep, hence 'the test'."
[00:09] <CaptGreenHoof> "Honestly, when I first saw you two nights ago I thought you were either a changeling or I finally lost my mind. Guess it's really you, though."
[00:09] == CaptGreenHoof has changed nick to GreenHoof
[00:09] <GreenHoof> [guess that'll do for now]
[00:09]  * High_Tide blinks. "A changeling? Huh... I've never seen one myself, but I guess that's the point?"
[00:10] <GreenHoof> "Heh, yeah. Seemed alright to me. Was scared shitless of us, though. I think he found what he was looking for, though..."
[00:10] <GreenSleeves> "Wait, two nights ago?"
[00:10]  * GreenSleeves punches Hoof on the shoulder lightly.
[00:11] <GreenHoof> "S-sorry, Sleeves. I didn't even leave the house yesterday, too worried of what might happen to this big blue faggot over here." Green Hoof nudges Tide.
[00:12]  * High_Tide nudges back. "Hey, I've been worse, I know how to take care of myself."
[00:14] <GreenHoof> "Heh, I know. Just wanted to make sure your condition was stable..... Plus it was cold as balls outside."
[00:16] <GreenSleeves> "Heh, that. You're looking a little blue from the cold."
[00:16]  * GreenSleeves grins.
[00:17] <High_Tide> "It was an adventure. Don't be green with envy."
[00:17] <GreenHoof> [......................]
[00:17] <GreenHoof> [you're green wif it]
[00:17]  * GreenHoof looks at Sleeves. "You're green with it!"
[00:18]  * High_Tide snrkk's.
[00:18] <GreenSleeves> "/You're/ green with it!"
[00:18] <Boris[Ronin]> [IF I WERE A RICH MAN]
[00:20]  * GreenHoof laughs
[00:21]  * High_Tide barks a laugh and curls up on one end of the couch, pulling up a blanket. "Well, speaking of adventure, I'm surprised nopony goes this far up the river with a boat. You think the town will get merchants when spring comes?"
[00:22] <GreenHoof> "I'm hell bent on having some sort of maritime-based trade established once the river is usable."
[00:22] <GreenSleeves> "Well, yout tell us, hotshot? They heard about us out there?"
[00:23]  * GreenHoof looks to Tide for the answer.
[00:24]  * High_Tide rubs the side of his head. "Not... really? I mean, you go far enough down the river and you'll find towns that know the train tracks go further up. Ponies know there's a TOWN up here, but that's about it."
[00:25]  * GreenHoof scratches his chin. "Huh... We'll have to change that..."
[00:27]  * GreenSleeves chuckes, "We could put a couple dozen messages in bottles and throw them in the river."
[00:27] <GreenSleeves> "Then they'd find out for sure."
[00:27]  * High_Tide shrugs. "I suppose. I tried to keep my point of origin on the down-low. Trouble with navy and yeah."
[00:28] <GreenHoof> "I bet it's nice out there in the real Equestria. Not like this shithole..."
[00:28] == GreenLight [webchat@c-50-132-61-64.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined #FourCannon-GreenFarm
[00:30]  * High_Tide coughs, unsure of how to answer that. "Well... Hey, I guess that just means this place needs work!"

[00:31]  * GreenSleeves rolls his eyes, "Work, pffft, we've been trying."
[00:31] <GreenHoof> "Yeah... a lot. Doesn't help that almost every square inch of the surrounding area is lethal."
[00:31] == Starfire_Asleep has changed nick to Starfire_Away
[00:32] <GreenSleeves> "Not to mention the people here aren't the most... sane? Reasonable?"
[00:33] <GreenHoof> "Eh, that's one thing I will say for this place, the people here are a lot more cooperative with each other than you'd think, to be fair."
[00:35]  * High_Tide shrugs. "Well, blame winter."
[00:35] <High_Tide> "Thing'sll get better once the river thaws, and everypony can get outside more often."
[00:35] <GreenHoof> "Things'll come together in the spring, hopefully."
[00:35] <GreenHoof> [>dat hivemind]
[00:35] <High_Tide> "Hey, how about electricity? I thought I saw a water wheel.."
[00:36] <GreenSleeves> "Mechanical power, really. We've got nothing magnetic to make electricity with."
[00:37]  * High_Tide hums to himself, tapping his chin.
[00:37] <GreenSleeves> "i've always wondered if theres a way to do it with magic, honestly."
[00:37]  * GreenLight trots through the cold, cold weather to check up on his good friend and that big and slightly whiney stallion that he penetrated anally.  He knocks on the door, in a totally manly singsong voice "Lewd!~"
[00:38] <High_Tide> "Actually, I'm glad you asked S-" He cuts short, ears flattening as he stares at the door, dumbstruck.
[00:38]  * GreenHoof gets up and goes to the door opening it. "Oh hello, rectal-doctor. Here for another exam?"
[00:38] <GreenSleeves> [>big and slightly whiney stallion that he penetrated anally]
[00:39] <GreenSleeves> [Wat?]
[00:39] <GreenSleeves> [Wait nvm]
[00:39] <High_Tide> [I didn't whine..."
[00:39] <GreenSleeves> [/me hues externally when he remembered what happened]
[00:39] <GreenLight> [No, you were a trooper when it came to your pooper!]
[00:40] <High_Tide> [I'm gonna kill Light]
[00:40] <GreenLight> [But I don't have any more green puns...]
[00:40]  * High_Tide slowly tugs the blanket tighter, staying curled up on the couch.
[00:41]  * GreenHoof chortles to himself as he lets Light in and closes the door behind him.
[00:41] <GreenLight> "Hey!  Sorry if I'm interruptin', just wanted to say hi to Hoof and check up on Tide!  And Sleeves!  Hi Sleeves!"
[00:42] <GreenSleeves> "Light! You've met Tide already?!"
[00:42] <GreenHoof> "Naw, you're not interupting."
[00:42]  * GreenSleeves punches Hoof's shoulder again.
[00:43] <GreenLight> "Yeap!  How're you feelin', Tide?"
[00:43] <GreenHoof> "Sleeeeeves, shit. I'm sorry. When I found him at the river I had to get some medical attention, pronto."
[00:44]  * GreenSleeves hues externally.
[00:45] <GreenLight> "Hmmm?  What's so funny?"  He scrunches his nose "I can give medical attention, ya know!"
[00:46] == Boris[Ronin] has changed nick to Boris[Dead]
[00:47]  * High_Tide coughs, rubbing at his chest as he comes out of a blank stare. "Well- better, actually. I'm not shivering, and Liven gave me something for the pain..." he points a hoof to some pills and mint leaves by the table. Staring at the greens awkwardly, he grins and lights up his horn, not noticing the violent crackle of light from it as he floats a pill back towards himself and
[00:47]  * High_Tide popping it in his mouth."
[00:47] <High_Tide> [back sorry]
[00:47] <GreenSleeves> "Liven, huh?"
[00:47]  * GreenSleeves punches Hoof's shoulder once more.
[00:48] <GreenHoof> "Shiiiiiiiiit."
[00:48] <GreenLight> "Oh, cool!"  He scratches his mane, sighing "I didn't think hypothermia called for pain meds, or was it for somethin' else?"
[00:49]  * GreenHoof twitches a little at the crackle from Tide's horn. "Shit... does your horn still do that magi-splosion thing?"
[00:49] <GreenLight> "T-that wasn't on purpose?"
[00:50]  * High_Tide lets the blanket fall a little to reveal the several bruises under matted parts of his fur. "Actually, they were for these..." He frowns, looking up at the three staring stallions. "...Was what on purpose?"
[00:52] <GreenHoof> "The magic outbursts. You know, like the one that deleted the docks the night you left."
[00:52] <GreenSleeves> "Or that night in the inn."
[00:52] <GreenLight> "...Oh man, do you remember how ya got them??  Speakin' of, I'd like ta hear your story, Ti-"  He blinks before yawning, stretching his neck "Iiiide, tomorrow when I'm not sleepy.  Erm... You're horn, it kinda... went all crackle."
[00:53] <GreenLight> "I-I just thought it was like a flair for the dramatic."
[00:53]  * GreenSleeves leaves out the part where he smacked Tide's horn.~
[00:55]  * High_Tide frowns, rubbing his cheek. he stares at light for a second, before looking up at his head slowly. "Uh..."
[00:58] <GreenLight> "erm... N-never mind!  I'm prolly just overthinking things."  Lights gives a warm smile "Glad ta see you not super cold and shivering!~  And good seeing two of my best friends, too!  Take care guys!"
[00:58]  * High_Tide slowly looks down at the three. "..What are you talking ab-... Well, alright..."
[00:59]  * GreenHoof lays down on the floor, curling up and yawning as he closes his eyes. "I'm just gonna lay down and listen, I'll still be......" Green Hoof trails off, the sound of light snoring coming from the earf pone after a few seconds.
