2013-11-15T22:54:53Cheren enters the hall and takes his seat. He wonders where everyone else is at.

2013-11-15T22:58:48Cheren goes over and knocks on Ikea's door.

2013-11-15T22:59:16<Ikea> [one minute, in game]

2013-11-15T22:59:22Cheren finds Ikea's door open slightly. [alright]

2013-11-15T23:05:11Chinook [[email protected]] has left #FourCannon-Townhall

2013-11-15T23:07:05Rain_Drop opens the door to the town hall dripping a bit of mud on the floor from her poncho before taking it off and flapping it outside to clean the most of it off and sets it on her chair that she takes her seat in. Mud can be seen streaked across her face as if it were rubbed and cleaned off. Rain looks around the room "I think..I made it before everyone else...haha..."

2013-11-15T23:07:23Rain_Drop slumps her head on the table "Just gonna...rest the peepers...yeah...that works..."

2013-11-15T23:07:38Cheren hears someone in the chambers

2013-11-15T23:09:51High_Tide [[email protected]] is now known as Dire_Tide

2013-11-15T23:10:26GreenLight [[email protected]] has joined #FourCannon-Townhall

2013-11-15T23:11:24<Rain_Drop> "Zzz///zzzz....zzzz"

2013-11-15T23:12:57Able_Tome opens the hefty door and trots into the town hall feeling exhausted, but more content after a calming talk... and a nap... or was it a bl- bah, whatever. He yawns and limps his way to the table, giving a little wave to both present ponies before he lands in his seat, saying groggily "Hey there, you two..."

2013-11-15T23:13:20Cheren waves at Able from down the hall, next to Ikea's office

2013-11-15T23:13:26Rain_Drop is slumped over on the table and jerks up at the words "3.1451625612!"

2013-11-15T23:14:11<Able_Tome> "Uh... incorrect..."

2013-11-15T23:14:33<Ikea> [ok, done]

2013-11-15T23:14:36Rain_Drop blinks tiredly before rubbing a hoof at her eyes makking the mud smears be a little less noticable "Able? Oh, hey...Huh? Oh...Sorry numbers and something about pie was involved...and reindeer..."

2013-11-15T23:14:36<Cheren> "3.14159254385...."

2013-11-15T23:15:42<GreenLight> [*3.1415926535...]

2013-11-15T23:16:26Cheren knock on the door, "Ikea? Are you awake?"

2013-11-15T23:16:53Ikea wakes with a start "huh? oh, I'm up, I'm up!"

2013-11-15T23:17:21Able_Tome blinks several more times and sinks down into the seat, sighing deeply, "Raindeers... and pie..."

2013-11-15T23:17:34Ikea wipes some drool from the desk "Come, eh- come on in"

2013-11-15T23:17:44Cheren takes a look around the messy office and wipes his eyes. "Anyway, Ikea, the meeting's supposed to start soon." He enters.

2013-11-15T23:18:48<Rain_Drop> "Hey Able, have you and Glim talked? I know that she had mentioned something bout you and her not getting time to chill out with one another..." Rain looks at the three unicorns and asks "Wait are we all super tired today?"

2013-11-15T23:18:49<Ikea> "Meet? Oh, right, yeah"

2013-11-15T23:19:09Alerderna [Alerderna@CPE00222d90fb5e-CM00222d90fb5a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #FourCannon-Townhall

2013-11-15T23:20:33Cheren isn't minty anymore, but guesses Ikea remembers his color or something. He grins, "Come on sleepy head, we have a few minutes still. Come on out. Not everypony has arrived yet."

2013-11-15T23:21:47GreenHoof [[email protected]] has joined #FourCannon-Townhall

2013-11-15T23:22:12Able_Tome yawns and stretches his forelegs across the table, side looking lazily at Rain, "... uh... I haven't exactly slept for a day... caught a nap with Hidden in the library after a talk, but..."

2013-11-15T23:22:46<Rain_Drop> "buuut?" Rain drawls out teasing the infos from the stallion cheek resting on the table

2013-11-15T23:23:19Ikea yawns "Right, on my way" as he walks out to the hall, shuffling some papers around in the air for relevant data

2013-11-15T23:23:32Cheren straightens up around Ikea's office, noticing that he still hadn't erased Feather's scribbles.

2013-11-15T23:23:57Able_Tome cracks his neck, "Barely enough... ugh... and with things about to go down, Embassy and... and we also have a missing poby, and -if- we're going to have 'visitors' of that speciality arrive here..."

2013-11-15T23:24:04<Ikea> [hey! that's a FeatherDuster original!]

2013-11-15T23:24:18<Ikea> [that'll be worth money in the future]

2013-11-15T23:24:53Able_Tome sighs and brings out his notebook, "It's going to be a bloody one schedule... not to mention going through more data... certain things even concerning Tide..."

2013-11-15T23:25:02Alerderna lad scampered on in, quickly found a seat and de-donned his stuff yet again. This should prove to be more exciting than Clinic duties.

2013-11-15T23:26:09Able_Tome flips the pages open and starts to go through them, "Mmm... need to speak with several ponies...", he mumbles wearily to himself

2013-11-15T23:26:36Cheren walks back out of the office and into the main room, finding his seat. "Glad to see mostly everyone's here."

2013-11-15T23:26:55<Rain_Drop> "Ah fuck did we remember to invite one of the embassy members here to finagle things with them?"

2013-11-15T23:27:44Able_Tome glances at Rain from his pages, "The contact we're dealing with is waiting for a resolution and is not quite allowed to leave Embassy's premises..."

2013-11-15T23:28:30Alerderna is going to be here, AND play League of Legends. Liek a bawss. He looked around the other guest seats, thinking he was the only one here... Bleh.

2013-11-15T23:29:03Cheren rubs his head and looks to Able. "Guess Cosmic turned down the request then?"

2013-11-15T23:30:07<Rain_Drop> "Right I keep hearing that Liven is in trouble somethin bout a head injury?" Rain slowly gets more aware and awake as she has something to do and focus on now

2013-11-15T23:30:17<Rain_Drop> [sorry had to serve casserole ><}

2013-11-15T23:30:22Able_Tome rubs his head a bit, "I'm not sure if Bones was agreeing to visit the town there... and last time he did, he said it himself that he's going to get into trouble."

2013-11-15T23:30:50Cheren nods, "That's right, Rain. Wonder if the guard and the embassy staff are under different orders then?"

2013-11-15T23:30:57<Rain_Drop> "With who? Pincher?"

2013-11-15T23:31:15<Rain_Drop> "If that's the case whose more liekly to help us? Guards or Embassy staff?"

2013-11-15T23:32:58<Able_Tome> "You think they are divided somehow? Though I'm not sure who plays a higher role there, hm..."

2013-11-15T23:33:15<Able_Tome> "Those two parties seem to act the same."

2013-11-15T23:33:44<Able_Tome> "Which is: they don't act at all, minus these past several weeks with the 'visitor'..."

2013-11-15T23:33:47<Rain_Drop> "I dont know, Roar and Spearmint where pretty cool guards..."

2013-11-15T23:33:48Cheren blinks and looks about. "That's the thing. I find it rather odd that doctor bones wants to keep this quiet. At least Pincher's more direct about the costs and how long it would take for Liven to get approved to go through."

2013-11-15T23:33:53GreenSleeves [[email protected]] has joined #FourCannon-Townhall

2013-11-15T23:34:23<Cheren> "Assuming he even gets approved."

2013-11-15T23:34:43<Rain_Drop> "You guys don't think we're getting manuvered for some poltical scheme in canterlot for some uptight noble do you?"

2013-11-15T23:34:47Able_Tome sighs, "And Liven's only, but a one case... we have Boris, we have Hidden and her horn, we have Lucyne and black lotus... we have numerous things..."

2013-11-15T23:35:12<Ikea> "Of course we are, Rain"

2013-11-15T23:35:16Al_Dente trots towards the townhall with a small assortment of notes under his foreleg's crook, mane tied back as he hides under his poncho for warmth. Quickly trudging up the steps and leaving the cold outside as he enters the hall and approaches the council table.

2013-11-15T23:35:17Cheren nods. "We'd certainly be an interesting group to study, that's for sure."

2013-11-15T23:35:37<Ikea> "Question is how to make the maneuvering benefit us"

2013-11-15T23:36:04Alerderna watched Al walk on up to the circle jerk table and just gave a silent nod.

2013-11-15T23:36:05<Able_Tome> "Political scheme... hmm... more light and out jewing scheme in this case, because the only thing that -town- has to lose is money and few members... and opportunities... uh, right..."

2013-11-15T23:36:44Rain_Drop takes a bite of some bread she had brought along munching on it. Swallowing down the bite she asks "Well in that case what would be their obejctive from us? We're more or less refugees like District 9 all over again."

2013-11-15T23:37:13<Al_Dente> "I  hope we didnt get started without the others and myself, sounds like something serious is happening."

2013-11-15T23:37:27<Rain_Drop> "I did try sending a letter to Zecora through the post office to ask about that black lotus, not really sure if it got through...Hey Al..."

2013-11-15T23:37:31Able_Tome rests his cheek against the hoof, "What of this 'visitor'... anyone mingled with her closely, or...?"

2013-11-15T23:37:47<Cheren> "We get slightly more open dialogue either way. I've already recieved a few donations for liven's situation in the way of gems, though I think Liven would want to pay his way through." He looks at Al. "Oh, hey, not offically, though we can now seeing that the majority is here."

2013-11-15T23:37:57Ikea shrugs "Who can say? Could be a purely monenary scheme, like Able suggests, or we're being used as pawns for some higher cloak and dagger games..."

2013-11-15T23:38:22GreenHoof and GreenLight walk in. GreenHoof nods and smiles to GreenLight before heading over to the maritime seat, taking a seat with all of the others.

2013-11-15T23:38:23<Al_Dente> "Well wouldn't hurt to wait a few more for the others."

2013-11-15T23:38:34<Ikea> "Hey Dente, just some pre-meeting chatter"

2013-11-15T23:38:35GreenSleeves quickly trots in behind Hoof, wondering quietly if he's late or they started early.

2013-11-15T23:38:50GreenLight nods, smiling back before taking a seat in the front row of the pews

2013-11-15T23:39:00<GreenLight> *Pews, benches, whatevsies

2013-11-15T23:39:09GreenSleeves quickly scrambles to his seat next Hoof.

2013-11-15T23:39:48Al_Dente looks left and right down the table [[[ assuming im sitting midish ]]] nodding. "Well seems like we are filling in nicely."

2013-11-15T23:40:03Able_Tome shrugs "If it's some sort of a scheme, perhaps it started with her... eh...", he looks at arrivals, "Well well, greetings you all..."

2013-11-15T23:40:11<GreenSleeves> "Seems like we missed a bit..."

2013-11-15T23:40:29Cheren is not drunk enough for this shit, but he continues. "As you may already know by now, Liven Up is possibly suffering a brain hemmorage from what happened at the mine a few weeks ago. It's interesting to note that the skull was not fractured, or at least I don't think it was. Did you recieve confrimation of that, Able?"

2013-11-15T23:40:31GreenLight smiles, waving "Figures I should be here as Liven's PCP."

2013-11-15T23:40:39Al_Dente points at Sleeves before drumming his hooves on the counter. "What....."

2013-11-15T23:40:44<Al_Dente> "Wait wait... Liven is what?"

2013-11-15T23:40:55<Cheren> "Oh, hey, Greenlight's here. Can you answer the question about the fracture?"

2013-11-15T23:41:19<Ikea> "hmm... that's unfortunate..."

2013-11-15T23:41:30Able_Tome glances at Cherenkov and then at Green Light "Aye... I've only operated on data that Light provided. Do tell, Green..."

2013-11-15T23:41:34GreenLight nods "Well... It's been around a week after Liven was a victim of a cave in."

2013-11-15T23:42:12<GreenLight> "Currently, Liven's body, aside from being incredibly fatigued and weak, seems to be fine."

2013-11-15T23:42:24<GreenLight> "His mental, cognitive abilities, however..."

2013-11-15T23:42:36<GreenHoof> [I have to unclog a toilet, gimmie 2 mins]

2013-11-15T23:42:42<Al_Dente> [[ >sides ]]

2013-11-15T23:42:43<Al_Dente> [[ classy ]]

2013-11-15T23:43:01Al_Dente looks at Greenlight before adressing him. "How do we know its a brain hemmorage? ]]

2013-11-15T23:43:04<Al_Dente> "*

2013-11-15T23:43:11<GreenLight> "It's clear something is wrong with his brain, but..."

2013-11-15T23:43:39GreenLight stops, looking at Al "Liven insisted upon it, and he's exhibiting all the symptoms."

2013-11-15T23:43:40<Rain_Drop> "But we don't have a clue as to what it is unless we go in there with a surgery or some xrays?"

2013-11-15T23:44:02<Rain_Drop> "Is that the score more or less Greenlight?"

2013-11-15T23:44:07Al_Dente nods and points at Rain. "We dont know anything for certain."

2013-11-15T23:44:27<GreenLight> "Course, no definite way to prove his brain is hemorrhaging, but all signs/diagnostic tools we have here currently indicate it is the most likely injury Liven has sustained."

2013-11-15T23:44:29Cheren nods. "Well, not X-rays. Not enough resolution to determine just what's wrong up there. Probably something equivalent to an MRI or a CT scan."

2013-11-15T23:44:46<Able_Tome> "Symptoms are there... you don't get irregular speech patterns out of no where..."

2013-11-15T23:44:49<Ikea> "Well, if it waddles like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks as a duck... chances are, it's a duck"

2013-11-15T23:44:51<GreenSleeves> "Uhh, call me an idiot if I'm wrong, but we have an untrasound machine, yes? Can't we ultrasound his head?"

2013-11-15T23:44:59<GreenLight> "..."

2013-11-15T23:45:05Able_Tome facehooves himself

2013-11-15T23:45:27<Able_Tome> "... ultrasound... can't... bypass... solid... objects..."

2013-11-15T23:45:29<Rain_Drop> "I dont..I dont think that works..."

2013-11-15T23:45:49<GreenLight> "We won't be able to see past his thick skull, Sleeves."

2013-11-15T23:45:54GreenLight coughs "ANYWAY"

2013-11-15T23:45:54<Able_Tome> "Those are physical waves... not radiation..."

2013-11-15T23:46:08GreenSleeves throws up his hooves. "Hey, I'm not a doctor!"

2013-11-15T23:46:21<Able_Tome> "It's physics... not medicine, Sleeves."

2013-11-15T23:46:24<GreenLight> "Fact is, what damage his brain has suffered may in fact be permanent... Even if we got the brain to stop bleeding."

2013-11-15T23:46:37Alerderna is hueing internally at this

2013-11-15T23:46:38<Al_Dente> "How much time do we have?"

2013-11-15T23:46:42<Al_Dente> "Is he stable?"

2013-11-15T23:46:47<GreenHoof> [back]

2013-11-15T23:46:48Able_Tome folds his hooves at his chest and starts to go through the journal while listening to conversation

2013-11-15T23:46:56<GreenLight> "Thus, our only real hope at ensuring a complete recovery of Liven's mental capabilities is, well, magic."

2013-11-15T23:47:12<Rain_Drop> "Which costs an arm and a leg Im guessing?"

2013-11-15T23:47:13<GreenLight> "He's as stable as someone with their brain fucking bleeding."

2013-11-15T23:47:20<Cheren> "He's stable for now, I believe. As long as he doesn't go to the inn and drink more." He mutters under his breath. "I mean seriously, what was he thinking..."

2013-11-15T23:47:34<GreenLight> "Well, last I heard it was 'ALL THE TOWN'S BITS'"

2013-11-15T23:47:41<GreenSleeves> "Wait, what?"

2013-11-15T23:47:42<Rain_Drop> "Would it...well shit fuck."

2013-11-15T23:47:44<Al_Dente> "Wait wait wait."

2013-11-15T23:47:49GreenSleeves is confus.

2013-11-15T23:47:51GreenHoof shakes his head in dissapointment.

2013-11-15T23:47:52<Cheren> "Possibly More, Light. Hence why we're having this meeting."

2013-11-15T23:47:56<Al_Dente> "What the fuck is actually going on here. I dont appreicate being left in the dark."

2013-11-15T23:48:05GreenLight nods "A-and that's why I'm here."

2013-11-15T23:48:25<GreenLight> "To see this through, to make sure I can do *ALL* I can to save my patient, Liven."

2013-11-15T23:48:34<Rain_Drop> "Okay then Greenlight whats...Al I think they said that Liven has a bleeding brain he needs treatment and due to his brain getting fucked up it might be permanent and would need magic."

2013-11-15T23:48:47<Al_Dente> "I mean the bits part."

2013-11-15T23:49:05Cheren looks at Al Dente. "That's precisely the reason why I called this meeting. We need to discuss options. Plus we do have two more revenue streams that need to be inspected further."

2013-11-15T23:49:07<Able_Tome> "12 thousand for the full treatment."

2013-11-15T23:49:11<Rain_Drop> "Magic which We don't have but the mainland does and trying to get someone to come over here might cost us everything to get him treatment if I get it right..."

2013-11-15T23:49:14GreenLight gawks

2013-11-15T23:49:25<Rain_Drop> "Other sources of revenue which ones?"

2013-11-15T23:49:30GreenSleeves mumbles. "You called a meeting at the scheduled time..."

2013-11-15T23:49:35<GreenHoof> "Do we have the exact number of bits they're asking for? And is this just one pony we've been talking to or is this an Embassy-wide consensus?"

2013-11-15T23:49:36<Rain_Drop> "And thats a huuuuuge number..."

2013-11-15T23:49:55<GreenHoof> [just saw the 12k, disregard first part of question, hue]

2013-11-15T23:49:56Al_Dente shakes his head. "I'd like to know how we came to an estimate for care BEFORE anyone else in the council was brought up to speed on this."

2013-11-15T23:49:58<Able_Tome> "That and provision of assistance regarding other medical problems while doctor Cell Growth and his crew are going to stay here."

2013-11-15T23:50:17<GreenSleeves> "Doctor who?"

2013-11-15T23:50:27Able_Tome casts a frown at Al, "Because we -went- into embassy, Dente. And talked on the matter."

2013-11-15T23:50:42<Al_Dente> "How long ago did this all start?"

2013-11-15T23:50:45GreenLight resists the urge to say 'precisely' to Sleeves

2013-11-15T23:50:54<GreenSleeves> [Light, pls ;3]

2013-11-15T23:50:55Cheren takes out a report and slides it to the other council members. "Quicksilver found a copper vein a while ago, and a gold vein in the mines this week. They need to be sampled further in order to see just what the quality is, along with better safety gear for the miners."

2013-11-15T23:50:57<Able_Tome> "Doctor Cell Growth. Medical specialist from Canterlot's hospital."

2013-11-15T23:51:03<Rain_Drop> "Oh that was that thing you guys went to do last night then right Chere?"

2013-11-15T23:51:27<Cheren> "To talk to Able and doctor bones at the embassy? yes."

2013-11-15T23:51:30GreenSleeves throws up his hooves again, "Whelp, that's news to me, Able."

2013-11-15T23:51:49<GreenLight> "O-oh, and an FYI...  I'm giving Liven a few days at least before we need to worry about death... Time is of the essence, we can't reverse a dead brain!"

2013-11-15T23:51:52<Al_Dente> "So i'd like some context as to what happened at the embassy? About their offers of assistence."

2013-11-15T23:52:00<Able_Tome> "Well, now you know, so you can simmer down a bit and listen."

2013-11-15T23:52:01<GreenSleeves> "Wait, we've got two doctors now? Doctor Bones?..."

2013-11-15T23:52:04GreenLight sits back down now

2013-11-15T23:52:09<Able_Tome> "..."

2013-11-15T23:52:27<GreenHoof> "Look, we don't need to argue about the events leading up to this, or who knew what. Our main objective right now should be doing everything we can to help Liven *without* breaking the bank and bankrupting the town's future."

2013-11-15T23:52:30<Rain_Drop> "Hm.. well in that case I could switch over my workers on the foraging team to mining that copper and gold veins then for the extra bits as the foraging is just about empty now."

2013-11-15T23:52:31Able_Tome tries to contain a growl

2013-11-15T23:52:51<GreenLight> [Able, roll]

2013-11-15T23:53:17<Cheren> "bones is the embassy guard medic. Cell growth is his friend apparently that wants to be brought out here. IF they are approved that is."

2013-11-15T23:53:37<Rain_Drop> "Cell WANTS to come out here?"

2013-11-15T23:53:39<GreenHoof> [Able is a fucking Shaolin monk]

2013-11-15T23:53:53<GreenLight> [Abley is running the show it seems]

2013-11-15T23:54:03Al_Dente pushes"How long has this been the fact?"

2013-11-15T23:54:07<Rain_Drop> "Huh...woulda thought they be scared of us or not like us at the very least...or something long those lines..."

2013-11-15T23:54:10Al_Dente presses the table*

2013-11-15T23:54:16<GreenSleeves> [Gah, back in 15!]

2013-11-15T23:54:31Cheren nods. "According to Bones, Cell would need to transport his team and equipment out here. Hence the costs."

2013-11-15T23:54:44Able_Tome maintains the anger under tigher control than security at Black Dolphin's prison.

2013-11-15T23:54:49Cheren mumbles, "probably to also pay for the guards to look the other way as well."

2013-11-15T23:54:56<Ikea> [dolphins?]

2013-11-15T23:55:06<Al_Dente> "You know you guys still haven’t answered my question how you even reached an estimate, your discussion of care and all that. "

2013-11-15T23:55:12<Ikea> "So... it's a mutual gain?"

2013-11-15T23:55:14<Able_Tome> [One fucking hell of a Russian prison, m8]

2013-11-15T23:55:23<Ikea> [groovity]

2013-11-15T23:55:26<Al_Dente> [[ pls no Pelican Bay correctional ]]

2013-11-15T23:55:55<Able_Tome> [worser than that, Dente]

2013-11-15T23:55:58<Ikea> "Why is this Growth interested in coming here?"

2013-11-15T23:56:02<Al_Dente> [[ pls I know ive seen it ]]

2013-11-15T23:56:10<Al_Dente> [[ they give you a way out tho ]]

2013-11-15T23:56:13<Rain_Drop> "Well it seems to me that we should go to a higher authority then some guy that just wants all the town's bits because he has an inferiority complex. Al I don't know I think they did it last night to get an estimate for the offer."

2013-11-15T23:56:18<Ikea> "Aside for the issue at hand, obviously"

2013-11-15T23:56:31<GreenHoof> "I find it hard to believe that Equestrians are charging exorbiant amounts to practice magic that'd save the life of a sapient being. That doesn't seem like the Equestria I know...."

2013-11-15T23:56:49<Rain_Drop> "See that's what I thought too."

2013-11-15T23:56:49GreenLight nods to Hoof

2013-11-15T23:57:10Al_Dente sighs "Hearing all this shit. Well fuck, sounds like back home to me. Why don't we just tell them to shove it and shop around for other insurance policies." Finishes with dripping sarcasm.

2013-11-15T23:57:15<Cheren> "Pincher, our illutrious quartermaster at the embassy that approves our orders knows costs like the back of his head. Though Liven plus one other would be sent out for treatment, pending approval. Why Bones wants 6k upfront I have no idea."

2013-11-15T23:57:37Able_Tome glances at Cher with annoyance boiling down, "They would still have to approve papers... and bloody arrivals will have to live somewhere, meaning that embassy will know... Bribes won't help here..."

2013-11-15T23:57:38<Rain_Drop> "Which is why we should go to a higher authority or just hop on the train to head to Canterlot go to eithe rthe princesses or the ones in charge of the supplies we have access to and ask what the hell."

2013-11-15T23:57:55<Al_Dente> "Why dont we send Liven."

2013-11-15T23:58:17<GreenHoof> "So the decision to charge 12k total is indeed a consensus among the Embassy? We've gotten second opinions, right? How do we know there's not one or two trying to screw us over?"

2013-11-15T23:58:19Able_Tome pfft's "Implying they will allow an "import" to leave this village..."

2013-11-15T23:58:36<Rain_Drop> "Tide did it."

2013-11-15T23:58:44Cheren looks at Rain. "That won't work. A certain guard trainee tried to hop the train last weekend and bribe her way on board, at least from the viewpoint of the Equestrians."

2013-11-15T23:59:01<Rain_Drop> "As did quite a few others that ran off in the beginning of the town Able cant forget them."

2013-11-15T23:59:05<GreenHoof> [Gotta say this OOC: This seems a bit grimdark/headcanon for how the Equestrians would deal with this. It doesn't line up to the Equestria of the show.]

2013-11-15T23:59:06<Able_Tome> "No idea if Embassy even went through the cost... all Bones said that the 'doctor' is willing to do procedure for 12K"

2013-11-15T23:59:12<Al_Dente> "So what, why are we dealing with people like that then. What makes you think they will offer us help if they already try and swindle and hustle us like this..... What happened to the show I used to watch, friendship, magic. Well fuck this is jewish."

2013-11-15T23:59:18<Able_Tome> "Strangely, only after 2 days after our dialog..."

2013-11-15T23:59:19Alerderna is confused at all this clusterfuck, and the meet hasn't begun yet.

2013-11-15T23:59:49<GreenLight> [Pretty sure it began]

2013-11-15T23:59:57<Cheren> [pincher has a reason behind collecting all the town's bits, though. he's not grim derp]

2013-11-16T00:00:00<Alerderna> [I thought it began at 7 EST]

2013-11-16T00:00:05<Able_Tome> "When I've asked Bones about -methods- of communication and if there's a way to send a message faster to arrange transferal of funds from our bank account at Canterlot, Bones immediately shut up."

2013-11-16T00:00:11<Ikea> [apperantly it's an emergency session, not an actual meeting]

2013-11-16T00:00:13<Al_Dente> [[ >stating something usually means the other ]]

2013-11-16T00:00:15<Able_Tome> "Classified information, as he said..."

2013-11-16T00:00:16<Al_Dente> [[ >great sales ]]

2013-11-16T00:00:29<Rain_Drop> "So he's hiding something."

2013-11-16T00:00:38<Rain_Drop> "And he might be running from something as well."

2013-11-16T00:00:41<Al_Dente> "So why are we dealing with people with alterior motives."

2013-11-16T00:00:44<Able_Tome> "So it seems like the only way he -could- negotiate the price was using remote magic... in the Embassy, no doubt..."

2013-11-16T00:00:54<Able_Tome> "Or he's just pulling the price out of his ass."

2013-11-16T00:01:10Alerderna is reeeeaaaallly wondering if this Bones guy is somebody he's going to have to keep an eye on now.

2013-11-16T00:01:17<Rain_Drop> "Cuz I think we don't have a choice as they are the only ones we can reach Al."

2013-11-16T00:01:22<Able_Tome> "Otherwise it would've taken a week to receive an asnwer from Canterlot."

2013-11-16T00:01:46<Rain_Drop> "Though I would like to hear more about that Guard trainee that tried to hop aboard the train. Did she get far on the train?"

2013-11-16T00:01:47GreenLight mutters "We don't have a week.."

2013-11-16T00:01:49<Cheren> "Able, please. We send out a request for supplies from the embassy and it arrives in three days."

2013-11-16T00:01:53<GreenHoof> "Look... can we talk with the Head Honcho at the Embassy? Twelve thousand bits is too much to be talking about with underlings. Maybe we could work out something more reasonable."

2013-11-16T00:02:17Able_Tome shoots a look at Cheren, "One and a half day in Bones'es case."

2013-11-16T00:02:20Cheren nods, "That's what I was going to suggest, Hoof. Get confirmation on just what's goin on."

2013-11-16T00:02:27<Able_Tome> "And it was the middle of a week."

2013-11-16T00:02:51<GreenHoof> "Well, looks like talking to the boss would be the most logical next step."

2013-11-16T00:02:53Cheren 's brow raises, "Oh, Able? Interesting."

2013-11-16T00:02:59<Al_Dente> "As far as this stands, but fuck im sorry everyone. Nope, no, no hooo. No way we are.... I dont see why you guys want to entertain the notion of committing the towns entire bank to someone who you cant even guarantee to deliver."  

2013-11-16T00:03:41Boris[Ronin] arrives at the hall, quietly taking a far seat as usual as he listens in

2013-11-16T00:03:48Cheren stands up. "Al Dente. Stop. All the funds aren't going towards this. I've already recived donations of some gems and I will need to talk to Liven to get approval to use his as well to help pay for the costs."

2013-11-16T00:03:49Rain_Drop stretches arching her back as she listens in

2013-11-16T00:03:49<Able_Tome> "So it seems that they -do- have some sort of a fast magic-based communication channel established there... magic or technology, hmm..."

2013-11-16T00:04:25<Al_Dente> "So what happens next week if someone else needs some bullshit like this next week. We gonna pull out another 15k to pay up?"

2013-11-16T00:04:35Alerderna is still present, but only semi. 'Cause, League.

2013-11-16T00:04:38Quicksilver [[email protected]] has quit IRC:

2013-11-16T00:04:42Able_Tome hmm's and resumes to observe and listens to conversation

2013-11-16T00:04:43<GreenLight> [>Implying a diamond and ruby equal 12k]

2013-11-16T00:04:49Cheren shakes his head. "That's the issue. We still need a doctor to help with the pregnancies."

2013-11-16T00:04:49<Al_Dente> [[ implying we have close to 15k ]]

2013-11-16T00:05:19<Able_Tome> "And several other medical emergencies..."

2013-11-16T00:05:21<GreenLight> "Erm, Cheren, you seen horse pregnancies back home?"

2013-11-16T00:05:21<Rain_Drop> "one or the other it dont matter if we cant undersatnd it so it might as well be both." Rain stands up "Look how about we just head to the Embassy right now and go talk this over with some one other than Pinch as he HAS to be extorting us for something and its time we found out what."

2013-11-16T00:05:32<Al_Dente> "So what. We are just in a situation where we have no chips to play, no reason to work with, nothing left to bargain."

2013-11-16T00:05:49<Al_Dente> "Who played that hand. Who played the town's hand before they even knew what was going on."

2013-11-16T00:05:57<GreenHoof> "I like Rain's idea. Let's get to the bottom of this."

2013-11-16T00:05:59<Al_Dente> "They are trying to extort us

2013-11-16T00:06:09<Rain_Drop> "Great then we can go ask why."

2013-11-16T00:06:12Able_Tome ho boy's internally

2013-11-16T00:06:38Cheren shakes his head and sighs. "I agree that we should go, but the ones that do need a clear head about the issue."

2013-11-16T00:06:39Rain_Drop hops up from her chair and pulls her poncho on "Well? let's go we don't ahve all night here guys."

2013-11-16T00:06:45GreenLight wonders if Liven forced this impossibly high number OOC

2013-11-16T00:06:49Able_Tome cracks his neck, "Looking... scrumptious..."

2013-11-16T00:06:59<Able_Tome> [yes...]

2013-11-16T00:07:09<Al_Dente> "I hope you guys arent serious, you think confronting the guy will get him to be honest."

2013-11-16T00:07:12<GreenLight> [...]

2013-11-16T00:07:27<Rain_Drop> "We do? I mean its just a simple matter of hey just wondering why your charging us so much for pretty simple things."

2013-11-16T00:07:30<Able_Tome> [when I've asked for a price I've waited for, uh... long time before I've received the answer... a short sentence too, so it can be speculated]

2013-11-16T00:07:32<Rain_Drop> "Um...yeah?"

2013-11-16T00:07:54<Rain_Drop> "I mean how else are you gonna make him explain besides asking honestly?"

2013-11-16T00:07:56GreenLight sighs

2013-11-16T00:07:57<GreenHoof> "The idea, Al, is to talk to whoever we need to lower the price."

2013-11-16T00:08:09<Al_Dente> "So how about a more pressing matter. Is the council's duties now take responsibility of saving the town's people?"

2013-11-16T00:08:19<Al_Dente> "Is it from now on that the council will intervene when people need such assistence?"

2013-11-16T00:08:24Quicksilver [[email protected]] has joined #FourCannon-Townhall

2013-11-16T00:08:31Cheren nods. "Or at least see even if it is possible to get anyone from the mainland out here."

2013-11-16T00:09:03<Ikea> "If he's even half way competent, asking for honesty without appealing to a higher autority is just going to give us a smirk, at best"

2013-11-16T00:09:10Cheren looks at Al. "Mr. Dente, like how it is for the guard's responsibility to arreest those whom break the law?"

2013-11-16T00:09:30<Al_Dente> "Like a 15k procedure, so we are good for them all week, everyday of it?"

2013-11-16T00:09:43<Al_Dente> "Lets say tomorrow myself needs it. So at the drop of a hat we are paying up?"

2013-11-16T00:10:39<Rain_Drop> "I think that we were getting a fully licensided doctor out of the deal as well as getting Liven treatment for other accidents taht occur or with the pregancies."

2013-11-16T00:10:54<Al_Dente> "So we are buying doctors?"

2013-11-16T00:11:00<GreenLight> "..."

2013-11-16T00:11:12<GreenHoof> "I think the main objective is to gather more information and possibly lowering the price. We're still weighing all of our options. I don't think anyone here is suggesting that we pay up here and now."

2013-11-16T00:11:14<Able_Tome> "It's not 15k, but 12k"

2013-11-16T00:11:23<Able_Tome> "And the price is split into 2 halves."

2013-11-16T00:11:35Alerderna facehooved, 'cause of the mudslinging

2013-11-16T00:11:38<Able_Tome> "One half is payed before the arrival for all arrangements."

2013-11-16T00:11:38Rain_Drop leans against her chair "In either case, yes we are buying one more or less I think to teach our own more about pony autnomy al, anyway what i was saying is that we just go there and ask about."

2013-11-16T00:11:49<Able_Tome> "Second half after preliminary examination."

2013-11-16T00:12:08<Cheren> "Or about 11k for Pincher's option. Payable only if Liven is allowed back to the mainland for treatment."

2013-11-16T00:12:21<Able_Tome> "Mmhm..."

2013-11-16T00:12:36Ikea brings a hoof to his face and sighs

2013-11-16T00:12:43<GreenHoof> "Look, right now we're just spinning our wheels. There's nothing we can make a final decision on right now. We still need more information, and quickly, before we can make an informed decision."

2013-11-16T00:12:57<Al_Dente> "Clearly some key points are being left out here."

2013-11-16T00:12:59<Able_Tome> "Though Bones'es option, if it goes through, is more... efficient. The price is still astronomically high."

2013-11-16T00:13:05<Rain_Drop> "look we can argue over this till we all are blue in the face, we need to go and ta-yeah Greenhoof has the point here."

2013-11-16T00:13:16<Cheren> "Either way. I can't authorize all of our funds on just one pony without the consent of the town."

2013-11-16T00:13:54Able_Tome nods, "True... not to mention that both options are going to kill us economically."

2013-11-16T00:14:03<Ikea> "soo... as things stand, we have one option, that isn't an option, and one that's steeped in red tape..."

2013-11-16T00:14:07<Rain_Drop> "So I'm going to go talk with Pinch then bones if he is here then Cell and then whoever thehell else I need to talk to as spending over 10 freaking grand for a hospital trained doctor is ridciulous."

2013-11-16T00:14:12<Al_Dente> "No one person in this town is worth 12k."

2013-11-16T00:14:25GreenLight screams internally

2013-11-16T00:14:27Able_Tome casts a frown at Al, "..."

2013-11-16T00:14:34<Al_Dente> "I dont want to be dark but lets be honest here."

2013-11-16T00:14:38Rain_Drop heads out the door "Not true a life is worth as much as we can give to save them Al."

2013-11-16T00:14:40<Able_Tome> "Nice... nice rhethorics there, Dente..."

2013-11-16T00:14:41Cheren leans back in the chair, "Oh, Really, Al? Then tell me, just how much each of us are worth?"

2013-11-16T00:14:46<Al_Dente> "What happens when we need food?"

2013-11-16T00:14:48Rain_Drop enters town square leaving the hall.

2013-11-16T00:14:50GreenHoof follows rain_drop

2013-11-16T00:14:55<Al_Dente> "What happens when the middle of winter comes and we are out of funds?"
