- «Mr.Jared» so yea
- «Mr.Jared» horses
- «mckinnley» horses?
- «Globebutt» small horses.
- «Mr.Jared» tiny horses
- «mckinnley» "miniature equines" is the politically correct term for it
- «Ewo» back
- «Egg_Discord» They're called Midget donkeys
- «Egg_Discord» Midgit mules
- «Mr.Jared» hmm
- «Mr.Jared» ianyways
- «SpitFire» Quater horse?
- «Mr.Jared» anyone intrested in my campain?
- «Globebutt» Maybe?
- «Mr.Jared» anyways
- «Mr.Jared» i will need your chars
- «Mr.Jared» to build the begening out of
- «Globebutt» 21 point buy, I assume.
- «Mr.Jared» yes
- «Mr.Jared» max 5 on fort
- «HTBK» Midget mule?
- «Mr.Jared» ?
- «Egg_Discord» It's meant to be derogatory.
- «Mr.Jared» what about mules
- «Egg_Discord» Like how Rarity took offense at being called a mule
- «HTBK» That works.
- «Egg_Discord» I'll play along to see where this leads.
- «Mr.Jared» alright lets do this then
- «Sunfire» joined the chat.
- «Mr.Jared» yo sun
- «Globebutt» Shalom!
- «HTBK» Heeeeeeeey Sun.
- «Sunfire» Hey.
- «Egg_Discord» Welcome back sun. Jared's starting a new campaign.
- «Egg_Discord» We'll continue off Globe's campaign tomorrow.
- «Sunfire» I might watch, but don't think I'm up to participating in anything new right now
- «Egg_Discord» I'm not particularly interested, but I'll play if anyone else does.
- «Globebutt» Ath 2/Ste 2/Cha 6/For 5/Tal 4/Rea 2. (Or maybe a few days after that? I DO need to get work done on an essay at some point.)
- «Sunfire» I wanted to play skyrim but never got to yesterday
- «Globebutt» And I'm only looking to burn a little time right now. (Because it's that or try to work, and work's hard.)
- «Globebutt» Let'
- «Egg_Discord» (true. IRL comes before RP)
- «Ewo» I suppose I'll join in
- «Globebutt» Let's say I'm a 21-something latina with dark hair, tan skin, brown eyes, maybe. Go from there.
- «Globebutt» err, 20-something. not 21-something.
- «Globebutt» (21 and a half, to the hour!)
- «HTBK» I'm cool to GM tonight, but I think I should pass up the player's chair.
- «Mr.Jared» name of char?
- «Mr.Jared» also feel free to dump more pony pics
- «Mr.Jared» i want to avoide resuing them
- «Globebutt» Actually, if this would stop HT from GMing... I mean, I wanna play more of the other game.
- «Mr.Jared» thats fine
- «Mr.Jared» i understand
- «Egg_Discord» I really do too. Things are heating up in both stories.
- «Mr.Jared» ok so il drop the campain for now
- «HTBK» Forget heating up, Egg.
- «HTBK» Shit's on fire, yo.
- «SpitFire» Getting some players Jared?
- «Mr.Jared» well we wont do it tonight
- «Mr.Jared» but yea
- «Egg_Discord» Which campaign are we doing? Globe's or HT's
- «Mr.Jared» sometime in the near we can do it
- «Globebutt» I didn't want to DM today.
- «Mr.Jared» HT,s i presume
- «Globebutt» And TwiAnon's not here. (Though neither is WriteFag, but.)
- «SpitFire» HOw many peole do you have in your game HTBK?
- «HTBK» 5, Spitfire.
- «SpitFire» ok,
- «SpitFire» is it ok to watch?
- «Egg_Discord» Let's see. There's me, Jared, Write, Globe and Sun.
- «Globebutt» No! It's very top secret.
- «Mr.Jared» well, we cant stop you from watching...
- «Egg_Discord» Of course it's fine.
- «HTBK» I would like to stress, for all of you, that when left to my own devices I invariably turn to science-fiction, fantasy, and surrealism. If I GM tonight, it will invariably get quirky and strange.
- «HTBK» Watch all you want, Spit.
- «SpitFire» if you go to a different room it is
- «Globebutt» >surrealism
- «Sunfire» so globe did you compile a full on log of yesterday
- «Globebutt» >mfw
- «HTBK» If you can write a character sheet in less than five minutes, feel free to play. An'ting.
- «Globebutt» >tfw you have no face and you must feel
- «HTBK» ...Glove, what's YFW?
- «HTBK» Globe*
- «Ewo» Oh, do you mind if I roll up one?
- «Globebutt» No >pic related, really.
- «Mr.Jared» >glove
- «Mr.Jared» i loled
- «Egg_Discord» Your face when
- «Globebutt» Mostly just "ogod".
- «HTBK» Go ahead, Ewo.
- «Egg_Discord» I thought of Glover
- «Sunfire» because I saved that which you posted for ht's blackmailer and what I had, and I think between the two that's everything from the beginning up to when I left, anyway
- «Egg_Discord» Ht, do you have my stats from last time? I lost mine.
- «HTBK» Yes I do.
- «Ewo» I said this this morning, and it's kind of important, but I freak out when I'm pushed into doing sexual things
- «HTBK» Egg: Athletics-5 Fortitude-5 Stealth-2 Charisma-3 Talent-5 Reaction-2
- «Globebutt» Sun, do you have the... does anyone have proper transcript of most of this campaign?
- «Sunfire» not HTs
- «Globebutt» Oh. Do you have mine, for that matter?
- «HTBK» Don't sweat it, Ewo. Globe is the reprehensible deviant here.
- «HTBK» Yes I do, Globe.
- «HTBK» Globebutt: 2,3,4,3,5,3.
- «Egg_Discord» And my Pone level is...
- «HTBK» And you two are at 3.9 and 7.5 respectively.
- «Ewo» Ath-3|Ste-1|Cha-4|For-5|Tal-5|Rea-3
- «HTBK» (Egg is my favorite in this campaign because of his nonstop screaming.)
- «HTBK» (It's hilarious.)
- «Mr.Jared» same here,id like a reminder of my pony level
- «Sunfire» so HT's jared is strawberry and I'm narcopone right
- «Ewo» With the same self-insert as last time.
- «HTBK» Jared, you are six flat.
- «Sunfire» *so in
- «HTBK» Globe, I would like to remind you that even though I am not a reprehensible deviant, you're next you son-of-a-bitch.
- «Sunfire» haha
- «SpitFire» Have fun guys *sits on a cloud and watches*
- «Globebutt» shit
- «HTBK» Roll for esthaha, not really.
- «Mr.Jared» im ready when you bithces are
- «Sunfire» >never will get to play skyrim
- «HTBK» >No big loss.
- «HTBK» So bear in mind, this is invariably going to get strange and peculiar and fantastic. That cool with everyone?
- «Globebutt» Lappy's still booting up, but I'm prepared otherwise.
- «HTBK» http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou0yueqFxNQ&feature=related
- «Globebutt» I think so? Just don't make me write any clop scenes. I wouldn't do well.
- «HTBK» Please enjoy the knowledge that I will be GM'ing to songs like this.
- «Egg_Discord» Let's do this, ladies. We'll assume that Write's busy in the bedroom.
- «Ewo» Yep.
- «Sunfire» I suppose, give me a few. Will need reminders of what is going on
- «HTBK» A-hem. Begin.
- «Mr.Jared» tis kewl as long as i dont grow 14 penises
- «HTBK» *The fires--Jared, this isn't Corruption of Champions.*
- «Globebutt» There's futa. Then there's mare with 14 penises.
- «Globebutt» ...Righto.
- «Globebutt» (Jitters is ready.)
- «Mr.Jared» What is this Corruption you speak of?
- «Egg_Discord» It's a text game about demons and sex
- «Egg_Discord» Look it up for a good wank
- «Ewo» (Just tell me when to jump in I guess)
- «Mr.Jared» lets spin this shit
- «Globebutt» (Flash game, really. And honestly, there's not that many penises. More boobs. Multiboob seems more popular.)
- «Sunfire» (I'm listening but grabbing something to eat)
- «HTBK» *The fires burned for barely a few minutes: the brewery may have been the front for a practiced offense against god and nature, but it was up to code. The following morning, an translucent green fog hung over [Unnamed], giving all who knew of the--Oh dear Jesus Egg, you did not just describe it as a "good wank". Anyway. All who knew of the true nature of the facility had cause to worry...*
- «HTBK» *Did you do anything worth noting after returning to the motel?*
- «Ewo» (and if I need to roll how pone I am)
- «HTBK» (You should do that, Ewo.)
- «Egg_Discord» (What can I say? The transformation stuff is a huge fetish for me)
- «Mr.Jared» *can i wake up now?*
- «Globebutt» (What's he roll out of to choose which pone?)
- «Ewo» (3)
- «HTBK» (we'll say...one moment, please...)
- «Globebutt» I don't think I did anything notable after escaping the brewery.
- «Globebutt» (Make sure it's not the one below bugeyes. Remember they're the same guy.)
- «HTBK» (D6, please.)
- «Egg_Discord» I hang my head in shame. My misguided attempt to save everyone has instead doomed us all
- «Ewo» (Another one?)
- «HTBK» (Yes.)
- «Ewo» (4)
- «HTBK» (Oh, this will be fun. For me.)
- «Mr.Jared» (shit ewo)
- «Egg_Discord» (Ewo, I think you're screwed)
- «HTBK» *In that case. Egg, you had the dream again. You know the one.*
- «Globebutt» (Right. So we're all in the hotel, we assume Write's locked himself in the bathroom, and Jitters is upset about it but manages to keep herself under control.)
- «HTBK» (Quite.)
- «Mr.Jared» (what about jared?)
- «Sunfire» (I'm snoozing peacefully.)
- «Egg_Discord» Meanwhile, I'm tossing and turning in my sleep, having yet another dream of the mailman.
- «Egg_Discord» "No... Not a.. Pony..." I mumble in my sleep
- «Mr.Jared» (am i alowed to wake up?)
- «HTBK» *He smiles like a rapist, Egg. The sun broke through the tacky excuses for blinds the following morning at just after eight, lending the carpet a dappled cast that belies the ramshackle nature of your lodgings. You wake up on your own time, as you wish.*
- «Mr.Jared» (alrighty)
- «Mr.Jared» NOOOO!
- «Egg_Discord» I wake up screaming once again, still unable to get a good night's rest.
- «Mr.Jared» *bolts up*
- «HTBK» *2 screams 1 morning.*
- «Globebutt» I awake with a shock. "What?"
- «Mr.Jared» *panting*
- «HTBK» *The latest in entertainment nobody wanted to see.*
- «Mr.Jared» what the hell is going on?!
- «Egg_Discord» "I-It's nothing. I had the dream again."
- «Sunfire» "zzz--wha? What is going on?" I shake my head sleepily.
- «Mr.Jared» Where are we?!
- «Globebutt» "Oh."
- «Mr.Jared» What is going...
- «Mr.Jared» *gets a look at egg*
- «Egg_Discord» We moved to a motel, Jared. Someone rigged our water supply so that juice came out of the faucets.
- «Egg_Discord» "
- «Mr.Jared» holy shit what the hell happened to you
- «Egg_Discord» I just stare at him, before bursting into tears. Way to remind me that I'm a freak once again, Jared.
- «Mr.Jared» (did anyone else become mroe pony while i was ina coma)
- «Globebutt» (Remind us what Egg looks like, anyway.)
- «Sunfire» (I am full pone, and still a very dirty pone.)
- «Mr.Jared» hey, hey now. its ok... im sorry, i just dont know what the hell is going on
- «Globebutt» (Not that you can see! Course, it's hard to go past full pony.)
- «HTBK» *Like a freak, Globe. More specifically, a freak with red eyes, purple hair, and a vagina.*
- «Globebutt» (Yeah, J and S haven't met, have they?)
- «Egg_Discord» "I can't take it! My hair is blue! My eyes are red! I have a tail, and my dick is gone! I'm tired and scared and I just want everything to go back to normal!" I continue to sob into my pillow.
- «HTBK» *Oh, wow. Someone paid attention.*
- «Mr.Jared» oh fuck
- «Mr.Jared» (HTBK what are the die effects of being pone level 6?)
- «Mr.Jared» side*
- «Globebutt» Jitters watches wordlessly.
- «HTBK» (You're living on a prayer, but no memory loss.)
- «Globebutt» (Living on a prayer, but I've got me some wings!)
- «Globebutt» (Not that I'm at 6.)
- «Mr.Jared» (which means that all levels up to 6 are mostly just tf aspects)
- «HTBK» (Who could it beee?)
- «Sunfire» (I'm at what, 7.6 or so I have written down)
- «HTBK» (Believe it or not, it's just me~!)
- «HTBK» (correct, Jared. And that's correct, Sun.)
- «Sunfire» (globe is the greatest american superhero)
- «HTBK» (That song fits these circumstances disturbingly well.)
- «Globebutt» (Coffee Mare is definitely the best superhero.)
- «Mr.Jared» So, how long ahve i been out?
- «Egg_Discord» (Globe is Cinema Snob)
- «HTBK» (Egg, we share too many interests.)
- «Egg_Discord» "You've been out for half of yesterday and all of last night."
- «Egg_Discord» (Duly noted)
- «Mr.Jared» And what sort of fun adventures have i missed
- «Sunfire» I yawn sleepily. "So we're not all going back to sleep?"
- «Globebutt» "Nope. Coffee?"
- «HTBK» *Jitters, Sun...Egg may not be the type you call "master", but she's still shaking in her boots. If she was wearing boots, anyway. A little help would be nice.*
- «Sunfire» (did we come up with a pone name for me or)
- «HTBK» (Yes, actually.)
- «Globebutt» I look over to the sleepy horse, waiting a reponse. (C'mon, here.)
- «Egg_Discord» I continue to cry. Not just at the nightmare, but at my failure at the Dark Horse Brewery.
- «Mr.Jared» What the hell happened?
- «Sunfire» I nod wearily, standing up and wandering over to the coffee pone. "Yeah, I guess..."
- «Mr.Jared» Did you guys find anything out about the beer?
- «HTBK» *To be fair, Egg, this could just be some trick of the early morning light. I mean, you *did* blow it right the hell up.*
- «Puck» joined the chat.
- «Globebutt» "Definitey, Jared! Egg and I were at the brewery last night."
- «Globebutt» I wander over to the table where my coffee beans are sitting. It's getting low. We'll be needing more.
- «Mr.Jared» What?!
- «Mr.Jared» What did you dind out!
- «Mr.Jared» fidn*
- «Mr.Jared» find*
- «Egg_Discord» I sit up in the bed, sniffling a little bit, but my eyes are red.
- «Sunfire» "Yeah, how DID that little adventure go? I see you made it back fine..." I smile, suddenly remembering they went on an adventure and came back!
- «Egg_Discord» Well, redder than they were before
- «Globebutt» I flutter onto the table and grab the bag in my mouth. "W'hhl. Nbbt m'hhch." I hop down.
- «HTBK» *More would be good, Globe. The people at the store were nice...*
- «Mr.Jared» Hey, amybe since im awake now, i can go into the breweery with you guys
- «Globebutt» But... were they nice to Jitters? They were nice to the lady with money.
- «Mr.Jared» i need awnsers too
- «Mr.Jared» where was the brewery anyways?
- «Globebutt» I set the bag down. "You won't find many there."
- «HTBK» *The did give you your coffee. Can't imagine why they'd mind now.*
- «Globebutt» I unroll the top and beckon Sunfire over.
- «Globebutt» Were they really that nice, thiough? I thought they were pretty bored.
- «Globebutt» They sure weren't as excited as I was.
- «HTBK» *They probably just need to drink more coffee.*
- «Mr.Jared» So where the heck are we anyways
- «Mr.Jared» ?
- «Sunfire» I nod and join Globe at the bag, sticking my nose in the bag trying to grab a couple beans from the bottom with my tongue
- «Egg_Discord» "We're in a cheap motel for the time being. We couldn't stay back at the house."
- «Globebutt» (Oi, I said it's low, not empty!)
- «Mr.Jared» Meh
- «Mr.Jared» Have we got any food?
- «Egg_Discord» "We brought a few supplies with us. Check in the bag over there."
- «Globebutt» "Yhhs!" I reply though a mouth full of coffee.
- «Mr.Jared» *seach bag*
- «Mr.Jared» *search bag*
- «Globebutt» "'Hh." I notice Jared isn't interested in the coffee.
- «Globebutt» All the more for me, though, right?
- «Mr.Jared» *turns to globebutt*
- «Mr.Jared» are you eating that... raw?
- «Globebutt» I blink. "Yhhs." Why does everyone think it's so strange?
- «Sunfire» I munch on the beans I pulled into my mouth, sitting beside Globe and nod at Jared.
- «Globebutt» I mean, it's not /really/ raw anyway, is it? The beans are pre-roasted!
- «Globebutt» Well done, too.
- «Mr.Jared» Still, i prefer my coffee in liquid form
- «HTBK» *Ewo? Presently, there is a knock at your front door. Is it an apartment or house?*'
- «Ewo» (I'm here)
- «Sunfire» I finish chewing and swallow the bean fragments. "Look, we had to do some slumming on this place, okay?"
- «Mr.Jared» *search bag for items*
- «Mr.Jared» I dont care, i just need food... and oh god im itchy
- «Globebutt» (Cool it, J. I think HT's getting to you.)
- «Globebutt» I close the bag again, and fly up to the table to put it out of reach. Gotta ration this stuff.
- «HTBK» *You find the bottles you brought with you from the moon base, as well as a slim Jim sonmeone forgot there.*
- «HTBK» *Ewo, the knock at your front door repeats itself*
- «Globebutt» (Moon base? ...John Madden?)
- «Egg_Discord» (Holla Holla get $)
- «Mr.Jared» (uUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU)
- «Ewo» I open the front door "Hello?" (I thought I was the one knocking, sorry)
- «Ewo» (and I guess it's a house)
- «Sunfire» I look to Globe. "No, really. How did things go? You guys seem to have came back okay."
- «HTBK» (A house it is.)
- «Mr.Jared» Whata re in these bottles?
- «Mr.Jared» (ant us to pause our shit so you can introduce ewo?0
- «HTBK» *It's never enjoyable being woken up by someone banging on the door, but this is compounded by another factor: as you stumble bleary-eyed to the door, you become keenly aware that a gerbil seems to have crawled down your underpants. You should get that fixed once you're rid of your company. On the doorstep stands a mail carrier, in an anachronistic blue uniform and flatcap. Around his shoulder he carries a sack of mail, and his mustache makes him look like he wandered out of a porno. He looks a bit like the Speedy Delivery guy from Mr. Rogers.*
- «Globebutt» I aloft on the bed next to Egg. "Well." I nudge Egg_Discord. "Why don't you tell them?"
- «HTBK» *And it's just the water and juice you all packed up last night, Jared. Looks like it's time for another shopping trip.*
- «Globebutt» (Fuck fuck fuck all your last two messages were bad news ht i do not like this)
- «Ewo» I reach out, expecting to be handed something by the mailman
- «Sunfire» I scramble up onto the same bed and sit down next to Globe, facing toward Egg.
- «Egg_Discord» "...Do I have to, Globe?"
- «HTBK» (Yes they are, Globe!)
- «Globebutt» I blink for a moment. Who's Globe?
- «Mr.Jared» Globe? You ok bro
- «Mr.Jared» *poke globe*
- «Globebutt» "Who's Globe?"
- «Mr.Jared» *stutter*
- «HTBK» *With a small smile, the mailman hands you a postcard with a picture of the [Unnamed] City hall on the front, followed by a carrot. With a small bow, he turns and steps off the doorstep.*
- «HTBK» "Enjoy your day, sir!"
- «Mr.Jared» You are silly goose
- «HTBK» *His voice sounds...generic. He starts off down the front path, and makes a turn when he steps onto the sidewalk,*
- «Egg_Discord» "Globe? Globe! Oh no! He's doing the same thing you were doing yesterday, Jared!"
- «Sunfire» I look at Globe, confused. "But, isn't that your name?"
- «Mr.Jared» ...
- «Globebutt» "Why would you think my name's Globe?"
- «Mr.Jared» Well guess we have to do all that fancy buls-
- «Ewo» I close the door, trying to fix my pants, thinking how weird it is for a carrot to come through the mail.
- «Mr.Jared» *begins to rub self against carpet*
- «HTBK» *Maybe Write told them something he didn't tell you, Jitters. You should ask him.*
- «Globebutt» (Are you trying to arouse me or charge up static, J?)
- «Mr.Jared» ITCHY ITCHY!
- «Egg_Discord» "JARED?! WHAT IN THE NAME OF MT SAINT HELENS ARE YOU DOING?!"
- «Egg_Discord» "SUN! HELP ME OUT HERE!"
- «HTBK» *Jared, this feels...like you should roll fort. Start as we mean to go on.*
- «Globebutt» I've gone from confused to almost panicked. "What's going on?"
- «Mr.Jared» (2 beyoch)
- «HTBK» *Egg, this doesn't help. Your pants are...itchy. And that carrot is really...really...tasty-looking. You roll fort too.*
- «Egg_Discord» "I don't know!"
- «Egg_Discord» (4)
- «Mr.Jared» Ah yea, that was good
- «Globebutt» (Err, you mean Ewo?)
- «HTBK» *Not you, Egg. Ewo.*
- «Mr.Jared» sorry about that
- «HTBK» *Mea culpa.*
- «Mr.Jared» i got a itch
- «Ewo» (2)
- «Egg_Discord» (Never mind)
- «Egg_Discord» (It's not my fault! If in God's plan..)
- «Sunfire» I don't seem to be responding to 'Sun', just sort of staring in a confused fashion at Jared.
- «Egg_Discord» (He made the devil so much stronger than a maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!)
- «Globebutt» (They made pony itches hard to scratch?)
- «Ewo» I lift up a leg of my pants to see if there is anything making me itchy
- «HTBK» *It's a pleasant sensation, Jared. You could get used to this. Ewo, I strongly suggest munching on that thing when you have a moment.*
- «Puck» LIKE FIRE, HELL FIRE
- «Egg_Discord» (Parentheses, Puck!)
- «HTBK» *Lifting the pants leg reveals nothing. Looks like you'll have to drop them, for the moment.*
- «Globebutt» (Only good things will come of it, surely.)
- «Puck» (right, sorry)
- «Mr.Jared» (well hooves dont work as well as HUMAN HANDS, hint hint)
- «Ewo» I pull down my pants, trying to see anything wrong
- «Egg_Discord» "Globe! Talk to me, What's your name?"
- «Mr.Jared» (wait. are we using the 20 pont stat system here?)
- «Mr.Jared» point*
- «Globebutt» "You mean me? I thought you knew me. I'm Jitter Bean, remember?
- «Mr.Jared» No you are not
- «Mr.Jared» You are Globebutt, a human from america
- «HTBK» *Ewo, there is a great big tuft of...hair...climbing out over the backside of your underpants. It's a strange electric blue shade, like an anime character.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Your name is Globebutt, remember? You're our room mate. We share a house together!"
- «HTBK» *Maybe an Otaku jammed his wig down your pants while you slept.*
- «Ewo» I pull it out, tugging on it
- «Mr.Jared» (HTBK are we using a 20 point stat system?)
- «Sunfire» I look to Jitters and sigh. "This is more of that memory loss crap, isn't it..."
- «Globebutt» "I know we went to the brewery last night, and we found the secret lab there..."
- «HTBK» *Pulling it out is hard enough, if distinctly uncomfortable. Giving it a harder tug sends a prickle of pain up your spine.*
- «Sunfire» "...wait. Secret lab?"
- «Globebutt» "I remember last night perfectly! There was C4 there by the coffee machine. (Boring, normal stuff. Not bad, though.) Map, too. Said some... HS person put it there?"
- «Sunfire» "C4. As in the plastic explosive."
- «Egg_Discord» "That's right. We snuck in and found out that someone placed C4 there for us to use to blow up the brewery."
- «Ewo» After flinching a little, I get a mirror, taking down my boxers, trying to see exactly what's stopping it.
- «Globebutt» "Egg and I went down the secret stairwell to the basement, and we found a box full of pills that're supposed to help treat whatever's wrong with us!"
- «Sunfire» I blink. "What." Headtilt.
- «Egg_Discord» "Then after we went down the stairs... Oh! I almost forgot! Globe, do you still have the pills from last night?"
- «Mr.Jared» Pills?
- «Globebutt» (Didn't you put them in the bag? Pillbottles don't fit well in mouths.)
- «Egg_Discord» (right)
- «Globebutt» "Then he blew up the vat, even though I told him not to!" I make a weird look, like I
- «Mr.Jared» What pills?
- «Globebutt» I'm trying to remember something, but can't.
- «Globebutt» "I forget why I didn't want him to..."
- «HTBK» *What's stopping it, Ewo, is that it seems to be...built in. The electric blue hair is simply growing from your tailbone. *
- «Sunfire» I flop down on the bed, rubbing the side of my head with a hoof. "What the HELL did you guys do?"
- «Egg_Discord» I dig around in the bag and pull out the container with the pills. "These. Apparently, these will suppress the pony urges."
- «Mr.Jared» ...
- «HTBK» *More interesting than what you have in the back, however, is what you're missing in the front.*
- «Mr.Jared» What?!
- «Egg_Discord» "Well it's worth a shot! What else do you remember, Globe?"
- «Mr.Jared» *atempt to grab pills from egg*
- «Mr.Jared» what the hell!?
- «Egg_Discord» "Hold on! We better look at the instructions a bit better first."
- «Ewo» I take the carrot, holding it in my mouth as I try to remember how this could have happened, or how well I remember the night before
- «Globebutt» "We went up the stairwell, raced to the roof, and we flew out of the compound. Felt like my wings were gonna give out, though."
- «Mr.Jared» Can you at leist sit down?
- «Globebutt» "Not carrying you again unless you want to lose weight."
- «HTBK» *Presumably, Ewo, you fell unconscious immediately after requesting transgender surgery from a holy shit this carrot tastes good roll fort.*
- «Globebutt» I cross my forelegs in front of me.
- «Ewo» (5)
- «HTBK» (oooh. Right on the line.)
- «Egg_Discord» "At least we're alive right?"
- «Mr.Jared» With a cure too!
- «Mr.Jared» come on read the bottle
- «Globebutt» I look up to Egg and smile. "I like being alive."
- «Sunfire» I'm in shock. "So, you blew shit up and got a cure. You guys are amazing!"
- «Egg_Discord» I look at the bottle. What does it read?"
- «Ewo» I decide to look at the other side of me, remembering that.
- «Globebutt» Something strikes me. "...It's not a cure. Just a treatment." I shake my head.
- «Globebutt» "I don't know were that came from."
- «Mr.Jared» So how much of it do you have?
- «HTBK» *The bottles are unmarked; save an inexpertly-crafted label slapped onto the side: "Take one every six hours. Double-dose at your own peril."*
- «HTBK» *Ewo...oh dear, Ewo.*
- «HTBK» *You appear to have changed sexes in the night.*
- «Egg_Discord» "I haven't taken any yet."
- «Mr.Jared» *gets up in eggs' face*
- «Egg_Discord» "We better be careful, though. It says to beware of double dosing."
- «Mr.Jared» how... many... bottles?
- «Ewo» (I'm slightly wondering if you thought my character was female)
- «Globebutt» (Several.)
- «Egg_Discord» "...one."
- «HTBK» (Is now, Ewo. Unless she was already?)
- «Mr.Jared» ...
- «Globebutt» (I swear I told you to take several, dammit! Egg is worst espionage pony.)
- «HTBK» *ONE. BOTTLE.*
- «HTBK» *Dun-dun-dun.*
- «Egg_Discord» (Last time I go on a spy mission)
- «Sunfire» "...one bottle? How many are in a bottle?"
- «Egg_Discord» How many?
- «Ewo» (No, I just thought I knew the pony you picked and I was wrong)
- «Globebutt» "I don't think we've counted."
- «HTBK» *The bottles are large, but you have been given--fittingly enough--horse pills. There's a total of twenty, right abouts.*
- «HTBK» (Better luck next time, Ewo.)
- «Mr.Jared» il count them, just pour me a dish of water or something
- «Mr.Jared» May i see the pills?
- «Globebutt» (But isn't Writefag sleeping in the bathroom?)
- «Ewo» "Well... I guess... the transgender thing worked..." I mumble to myself
- «Egg_Discord» "Sure. here you go." I hand the bottle to Jared."
- «Mr.Jared» can you open it? *wave hooves in egg's face*
- «HTBK» *If you actually got so wasted you had a shady surgeon give you a transgender surgery, then...God help us all.*
- «Egg_Discord» I open the bottle for him.
- «Mr.Jared» thank you
- «Mr.Jared» *begin counting pills*
- «Globebutt» "I could have done that," I huff.
- «Egg_Discord» "Seriously, they need to make those bottles easier to open."
- «Sunfire» I watch from a distance, despite having ingested some coffee beans seem on the edge of dozing.
- «Egg_Discord» "With what? Your hooves?"
- «Ewo» I look at the other mail, trying to accept everything else
- «Globebutt» I look at Egg incredulously. "Of course!"
- «Mr.Jared» Alright, so we need to have a little meeting
- «HTBK» *It's a postcard, bearing the city hall. The text says "Wish you were here", and was sent from a motel on the other side of town.*
- «Sunfire» (aaaaaa)
- «Globebutt» (Horse hotel, I bet.)
- «Egg_Discord» "What's wrong, Jared?"
- «Mr.Jared» These pills are like fucking life and death
- «Globebutt» (That's got to be some intense fucking right there.)
- «HTBK» *It is my duty as the GM to point out that Jared is the cuddliest.*
- «HTBK» *If you were to cuddle him into submission, he could do nothing to stop you.*
- «Mr.Jared» We can not lose these or waste them
- «Puck» (My sides!)
- «Globebutt» "Who planned to?"
- «Ewo» "Erm well... I don't have anything else to do" I start heading over to the return address, putting my pants back on as loosely as possible, using a belt to keep them up, but low
- «Sunfire» "Of course, but we need to fairly divi--zzzz" I fall asleep, head resting on forehooves on the bed.
- «Mr.Jared» Who are you talking to Globe?
- «Egg_Discord» "Are you hearing voices in your head?"
- «Globebutt» "You, of course, Strawberry."
- «Mr.Jared» ...
- «Mr.Jared» I am not strawberry
- «Egg_Discord» "No, he's Jared."
- «Mr.Jared» we talked about a long time ago
- «Globebutt» I sigh with exasperation. "First you tell me I'm not Jitters. Now you tell me she's not Strawberry!"
- «Mr.Jared» and i elect globebutt as our 1st person to take the pills, along with sunfire
- «HTBK» *Ewo, the GM is impressed by your stoicism. When you get outside, everything is...unusually loud. The address is for a second-story room at a slummy Dazed Inn. The air outside is unusually...green...this morning. No doubt the result of some toxic haze.*
- «Mr.Jared» well...
- «Mr.Jared» idk guys
- «Mr.Jared» we dont evn know if these pills do anything
- «Ewo» I knock on the door
- «Mr.Jared» they could just make it worse for all we know
- «Egg_Discord» "...I'll try one of the pills."
- «Mr.Jared» Shit, the door!
- «HTBK» *twenty divided by five gets you four which means you all get exactly 1 day of humanity, assuming the pills actually work.*
- «HTBK» *And look at that, everyone. Someone's at the door.*
- «Mr.Jared» *hide under bed*
- «Egg_Discord» "Fuck! You three! Hide yourselves and the pills. I'll get it!"
- «Sunfire» "zuh?"
- «Mr.Jared» scoops pills into bottle, closes it and takes it under the bed
- «Mr.Jared» **
- «Globebutt» I fly to the table, grab my coffee, and squirrel it away under the bed with me.
- «Ewo» I knock again.
- «Egg_Discord» I quickly put on a coat, hat and glasses, while throwing a blanket over Sun. "Just stay there for now, okay?"
- «Egg_Discord» I then go to answer the door. "Um... Hello?"
- «Sunfire» "mmhnn" I kinda like the blanket being tossed over me.
- «Mr.Jared» (which pony are you sunfire?)
- «HTBK» *At the door, egg, is a girl with neon-blue hair and freakishly pointed...ears...*
- «HTBK» *...*
- «Sunfire» (narcoleptic pone on the right in image 6)
- «HTBK» *well, at least you're not the only ones?*
- «Mr.Jared» (gocha)
- «Ewo» I hold up the postcard I got in the mail. "Did you, or anyone else who lives here maybe, send this to me?"
- «Mr.Jared» *i peek from under the bed*
- «Mr.Jared» hole sheet, its. its
- «Globebutt» (Roll stealth?)
- «Egg_Discord» "Not that I know of, but it looks like you got affected to. Come on inside." I quickly usher Ewo inside.
- «HTBK» (Does he try to keep himself unseen?)
- «HTBK» (Guess it's under the bridge, now.)
- «Mr.Jared» (rolled a 10)
- «HTBK» *The GM takes 30 seconds.)
- «Globebutt» ( http://www.kotowari.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/4945298163_4f5af4742d.jpg also, i hear "throw on glasses, coat, and hat" and imagine this)
- «Mr.Jared» (fml)
- «Ewo» I try to stay outside, not really trusting this
- «Sunfire» (the perfect disguise)
- «Calc» joined the chat.
- «Ewo» "...Affected by what?"
- «Egg_Discord» I figure it out. "Alright, fine, here." I take off my hat and glasses to show her my hair, eyes and ears.
- «Sunfire» I doze off under the blanket.
- «Mr.Jared» *sneezes*
- «Egg_Discord» "Did you drink any Dark Horse Beer last night?"
- «Mr.Jared» (its freeking dusty underhere)
- «» ZephyrWF joined the chat.
- «Ewo» I try to remember the night prior
- «HTBK» *The GM returns with a coke.*
- «Globebutt» (Felt like a long 30 seconds.)
- «Mr.Jared» (it took that long for a coke?)
- «Globebutt» (Maybe it's got real cocaine!)
- «HTBK» *Ewo, you'd had a largely quiet night. You may have, but it was pretty late and the day had been tiring,*
- «Globebutt» has uploaded a new photo.
- «Ewo» "I don't really remember... Do you have anything to do with this?" I point to my tail
- «HTBK» *The GM notices that Zephyr is upon us.*
- «HTBK» *He begins silently quaking in fear.*
- «» ZephyrWF(Just observing, carry on.)
- «Mr.Jared» *takes another peek out*
- «Egg_Discord» "I don't, but I know who does. Come on in. It's dangerous to step outside like that. I'll introduce you to the others."
- «HTBK» *The GM also points out for all ye wayward spectators that the game has not begun so earnestly that we're out of room or opportunities.*
- «Sunfire» I roll over onto my side in my sleep beneath the blanket.
- «Ewo» "...Okay" I walk in, still a bit wary of it
- «Globebutt» My ears perk up silently.
- «Egg_Discord» I shut the door behind her, saying, "Alright guys. It's cool. You can come out now."
- «Mr.Jared» *pops head out*
- «Mr.Jared» *looks to ewo*
- «Mr.Jared» hi there
- «Puck» (d6 for starting ponification yeah?)
- «HTBK» *The GM also reflects that literally everyone in the room at the moment is a mare.*
- «Globebutt» I grab my coffee bag in my mouth once more, and stick my head out from below the bedskirt. "Hhh?"
- «HTBK» *And that there is exactly one stallion in the party.*
- «HTBK» (D6 for starting ponification, Puck.)
- «Calc» (Egg, you're gonna have fun with this thing.)
- «Ewo» "...Hey there, everyone."
- «Calc» (Pony sex pile activate.)
- «Puck» (2)
- «HTBK» (Puck, am I to take it that you're joining in?)
- «Puck» (I fI may then yes, I've got a stat block here)
- «HTBK» (Present it at your leisure, and roll one more D6.)
- «Globebutt» (Toss in a character description, too?)
- «HTBK» (Calc, Zeph?)
- «Calc» (Yes?)
- «HTBK» (Either of you going to take this opportunity to leap in?)
- «SpitFire» (?)
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright, so let's get introductions out of the way. My name is Egg_Discord, but you can call me Egg."
- «HTBK» (Et tu, Spitfire? I'm feeling dangerous tonight, I'll take you all.)
- «» ZephyrWF(Still just observing.)
- «Calc» (Yeah, but my time will be broken up. Give me a bit to make stats.)
- «HTBK» (Understood Zeph. Calc, how much is "A bit"?)
- «Ewo» "Hey there egg, I'm Ewo"
- «Egg_Discord» "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ewo.The pony with coffee in her mouth is Globebutt, the one coming from under the bed is Jared and the one under the blanket is Sunfire."
- «Ewo» I still am not aware of my hair or ears.
- «Mr.Jared» *i pop out from under the bed*
- «Calc» (Not long. What are all the skills again?"
- «Sunfire» I finally snap out of my little nap and fumble under the sheet, a writhing blob of fabric on the bed.
- «Globebutt» I drop the coffee and come out from beneath the bedskirt. "My name's Jitter Bean, dammit."
- «SpitFire» (debating, but it does look like fun)
- «Egg_Discord» "Umm... You do realize that..." I start to say it, but trail off, not wanting to alarm her."
- «HTBK» (Athletics, fortitude, charisma, sneaking, talent, and reaction.)
- «HTBK» (Come in if you like.)
- «Mr.Jared» (maximum 5 on fortitude)
- «Egg_Discord» "Think back Globe. You've never been called Jitter Bean! You're also not a pony, remember?"
- «HTBK» *Ewo, you notice that there's an awful lot of...mares...for names like "Jared". Looks like you weren't the only one riding the drunken gender reassignment train last night.*
- «HTBK» *Also, that little horse is talking.*
- «Sunfire» I manage to slide off the edge of the bed, twisted in the fabric of the blanket like a little bag. "Guys?"
- «Ewo» I can't help but giggle a little "Globebutt there still drunk?"
- «HTBK» *Lay off the acid, pal.*
- «Globebutt» I look down to my hooves. "I sure look like a pony."
- «Calc» (I know. I've done the stats, now I just need to make charry description.)
- «HTBK» (very good.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Actually, it's a bit more serious than that. ...You're gonna want to sit down for this."
- «Mr.Jared» Well, i look like a pony too globe, ytet my name is still jared
- «HTBK» *Strawberry and Egg are just panicking again, Jitters. Who knew they were so afraid of fire?*
- «Ewo» I sit down, adjusting my new tail, not able to stop my giggling
- «HTBK» *In my professional opinion, a belly rub would mellow them out.*
- «Sunfire» (the hell is my name again?)
- «HTBK» (Quiet Nights, Sun.)
- «Mr.Jared» (screw you HTBK you aint even a doctor)
- «HTBK» (Not for another few years, Jared.)
- «Calc» (Can I just get a random pony down below? I don't feel like making a pony.)
- «Mr.Jared» (u aint even a vet)
- «Globebutt» "And mine's Jitter Bean!" I shouldn't have to convince my friends of what my name is!
- «HTBK» (that's what we usually do, Calc.)
- «Mr.Jared» (thats how it works)
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright, so last night, we all got wasted on a beer called Dark Horse, which caused us to turn into this. You appear to have drunk some as well."
- «HTBK» (Almost a vet, Jared.)
- «Sunfire» (congrats because you don't get a choice)
- «Mr.Jared» His name is not Jitter, just like mine aint strawberry freeze
- «Ewo» "Yeah, I kind of assumed I wouldn't make such... rash decisions without alcohol"
- «Sunfire» The twisted pouch of blanket dangling from the bed keeps wriggling. "...guys? A little help?"
- «Mr.Jared» "his name is Globebutt"
- «Mr.Jared» I got this
- «Mr.Jared» *go to help sunfire*
- «Globebutt» I glare.
- «Globebutt» I grab my coffee once again and fly onto the bed.
- «Globebutt» Maybe I should get some saddlebags.
- «Ewo» "I was just thinking he was drunk, 'cause I know a guy who insists you call him something weird when he's drunk..."
- «Calc» (Right, am done. Where do I post?)
- «Egg_Discord» "The worst part about this is that apparently, the beer is affecting us mentally. If we get tempted by something that a pony would do, like belly rubs or eating vegetables, it'll cause us to think that we ARE ponies."
- «Ewo» "Holy shit, did she just actually fly?"
- «Mr.Jared» BELLY RUBS!?
- «HTBK» *They need coffee and belly rubs, Jitter. Maybe you should ask Write...*
- «HTBK» (Post it here, Calc.)
- «Mr.Jared» *rushes up to egg*
- «HTBK» *The GM counts his players and wishes he was drunk.*
- «Puck» (Ath 5, Sth 1, Cha 2, Fort 4, Tal 5, Rea 4, PON 2. Darkish blond mop of hair, blue eyes, 5'10" tall, about 165 lbs. Semi lanky, small soul-patch style beard. Surfs, carves little wooden tikis.)
- «Globebutt» Why would Jitters wake master? He seems to want to sleep.
- «Egg_Discord» "No Jared, I'm not petting you. You see? Jared here for example started thinking that he was a pony named Strawberry Freeze and that I was his master, which is not true."
- «Puck» (heard you liked even more players there HT)
- «HTBK» (I did run a game with 30 players at once that one time.)
- «Mr.Jared» Oh god...
- «HTBK» (Thank *God) for caffeine.)
- «Puck» (I can't even that)
- «HTBK» *after he wakes up, you silly coffee pone.*
- «Globebutt» (What system, when, how many at a time?)
- «Globebutt» Oh! That sounds good.
- «Mr.Jared» Im sorry egg,
- «Mr.Jared» il just go back under here then...
- «Calc» (Ath: 6 Stealth: 4 Charisma: 2 Fortitude: 4 Talent: 3 Reaction: 2 Human description: Brown, curly hair that grows outwards. Brown eyes. Mid-tall range. Skinny. Wears glasses. Male. Pretty young. Kinda an introvert.)
- «Egg_Discord» "It's fine, Jared. Just think human thoughts. I'm afraid the same thing has happened to Globe. None of us are drunk because this started happening yesterday, and we haven't had anything to drink since then."
- «Mr.Jared» *shimyms back under the bed*
- «HTBK» (Homebrew, last January, all at once.)
- «HTBK» (ALL. THIRTY. OF THEM.)
- «Ewo» "Do you really think we should all stay together with that kind of stuff going on?"
- «» Shinto joined the chat.
- «Sunfire» I try rolling in my self-constructed bag of blanket, dragging it further off the bed and gets all of a couple feet before bonking into the side of the bed again. And making the twisted fabric worse.
- «Calc» (Fuck. I can't come onto here for an hour.)
- «Mr.Jared» "Oh yea" I cry as im under the bed "almost forgot about these"
- «Globebutt» (Huh?)
- «Mr.Jared» *comes out from under bed with pill bottle in mouth*
- «Egg_Discord» "We have too. The best way for us to stay normal is to remind ourselves of who we are and do human things."
- «HTBK» (Alright Calc.)
- «Mr.Jared» *nudges eggs leg*
- «HTBK» (Puck, are you ready?)
- «Calc» (That'll disrupt things.)
- «HTBK» (I can work around it.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Thanks, Jared. Can you go get the video camera too?"
- «Ewo» "...I guess that's a good reason if you know each other"
- «Mr.Jared» *nods head*
- «Ewo» I start laughing again.
- «Egg_Discord» I take the pills from him and explain the pills to Ewo, because I'm tired of being Mr. Exposition
- «Mr.Jared» *spits bottle at eggs feet and goes to grab camera*
- «Puck» (yep)
- «Sunfire» "...it's getting warm in here. What's going on, guys?"
- «HTBK» (Alright. Everyone.)
- «HTBK» (While I go check the oven, and get ready to roll, this image is in effect.)
- «Globebutt» "Doesn't feel like they know me too well," I mutter.
- «Globebutt» has deleted a photo.
- «HTBK» has uploaded a new photo.
- «HTBK» (Don't do anything you need the GM for.)
- «Puck» (I'm saving that picture)
- «Egg_Discord» "Thank god we know each other, or we would've been long gone by now. Oh! Did anything strange happen this morning other than the transformation?"
- «HTBK» (It's a good picture, Puck.)
- «Mr.Jared» *comes over to egg with camera*
- «HTBK» *And speaking of Puck. Do you live in a house or an apartment?*
- «Mr.Jared» (Fuckin' Magnets, How Do They Work? )
- «Globebutt» (No, don't ask that! You'll probably need to roll fort!)
- «HTBK» *Or in a gutter or in a dumpster or under an overpass?*
- «Sunfire» (van down by the river)
- «Egg_Discord» (A camper)
- «Puck» (I'm gonna go with small apartment, rather ramshackle)
- «Ewo» "I got a carrot in the mail. Good times" I wiggle around "Stupid tail, making sitting stupid"
- «HTBK» *The Gm decides to have a bit of fun at everyone's expense.*
- «Mr.Jared» (oh jesus)
- «Calc» left the chat.
- «Egg_Discord» What she said causes my blood to run cold. "...Di-did you see what the mailman looked like?"
- «Puck» (at least one player is excited)
- «HTBK» *Jared, Globe, Sunfire. At the sight of your new friend calling her tail "stupid", a suitable degree of indignation runs through you. Roll fort!*

- «Mr.Jared» (8)
- «Mr.Jared» HTBK)
- «Globebutt» (Fuck. Seven.)
- «Globebutt» (...10. FUCK.)
- «HTBK» (Jared, Roll PON!)
- «Mr.Jared» (what are our stats spose to add up to?)
- «Sunfire» (7 pon, since I have 4 for in this one)
- «HTBK» (Lucky you, Jared.)
- «Mr.Jared» (1)
- «Puck» (21, not counting ponification, if I'm correct)
- «HTBK» (You have a 4 in fort? Strange.)
- «Mr.Jared» (umm)
- «Sunfire» (I have 5 in globe's)
- «HTBK» (21, Jared.)
- «Mr.Jared» (im sure i am missing 5 poitns in ym stat table)
- «HTBK» (I'll check.)
- «Ewo» "Oh yeah, he was just in this blue uniform, which was kinda odd. I'm not really great at remembering faces or anything like that"
- «HTBK» (Meanwhile...)
- «Mr.Jared» (yea, i onyl have 19)
- «Mr.Jared» (im adding 2 to my fort)
- «HTBK» *With a sound like the worst chorus, all three of you launch into your own choice of corrections and grooming tips about your new friends most-definitely-not-stupid tail. Because this amuses the GM.*
- «Puck» (it was a MAX of 5 right?)
- «» Shinto left the chat.
- «SpitFire» (I'll be stupid and jump in) (2) (is my roll)
- «Egg_Discord» "...No. No, no. Not him! Not you too!" I begin to hyperventilate, beginning to start losing my cool
- «Mr.Jared» All you have to do is fricking brush it ever... wait
- «Mr.Jared» what the hell is going on!
- «Mr.Jared» oh god!!
- «HTBK» (Max 5, Puck. Spitfire, do you feel like rooming with Puck?)
- «Globebutt» I fly over to the bed and start grooming Ewo's tail.
- «Sunfire» My advice is particularly amusing since I try to demonstrate a finer point of tail grooming, despite being a pony blanket burrito on the carpet.
- «Globebutt» (I leave the coffee on the other bed.)
- «SpitFire» (sure what do you need me to next?)
- «Ewo» "...I think this is not the best place for me to try to keep my sanity... Hey, what do you think you're doing?" I turn around, looking at Globe

- «HTBK» (Very good.)
- «HTBK» (Everyone, GM requests a moment of silence.)
- «HTBK» (Just a quickie.)
- «Mr.Jared» (alright)
- «Globebutt» "Helping you with your 'stupid' tail!"
- «Globebutt» (Silent now.)
- «HTBK» *Puck, Spitfire. Last night had been a good one, all things considered. Nobody died, nobody got shot at by the police. The booze was nice, and as per the custom of all civilized beings, you took in a pizza over the weekend. Please roll a D6 each.*

- «SpitFire» (what have we done)
- «Sunfire» (abandon hope all ye who enter here)

- «Writefag4» (Oh we're back to that one?)
- «HTBK» *Spitfire, Puck. You both awake to a gentle, albeit vaguely-greenish, morning sun. After a few long minutes, there is a knock at the door.*
- «Sunfire» (we're doing an intro seq. for spit and puck)
- «HTBK» *The GM would like to triple-dog-dare Writefag to come out with his pants down.*
- «SpitFire» (need stats?)
- «Puck» (green sun is not normal yes?)
- «HTBK» (Vaguely-greenish. A cast lent to the light by an oddity in the mist.)
- «Puck» Uhh, I'll toss on pants and a shirt and go to the door.
- «HTBK» (Could be normalish.)
- «SpitFire» (Athletics 5, fortitude 3, charisma 4, sneaking 3, talent 2, and reaction 3 (Human, 6.0 Red hair, green, Skinny ripped build, but not very strong.)

- «Mr.Jared» (wat)
- «SpitFire» *rolls around and keeps my eyes closed* ohhh... my head, Who the hell is knocking this early int he morning?!
- «Writefag4» I'm in the motel bathroom right? Washing my mane in the sink?
- «Egg_Discord» (Hold on, assume I passed out, for the time being. Something just came up. Be back in a sec)
- «Writefag4» (For 4 straight hours or however long it took Egg and Globe?)
- «Globebutt» Well, you were last night. it's morning now and Sunfire and Egg were both screaming.
- «Writefag4» (Was sunfire even there?)
- «HTBK» *Seems like you're a mite hungover, Spittie. At the door, puck, stands a man in a blue courier's unfiorm and a flatcap. He carries a sack of mail around his shoulder, and has eyes that seem deep as tunnels. He vaguely looks like the Speedy Delivery man from Mr. Rogers."
- «Sunfire» (they came back to the motel)
- «HTBK» "Package for you."
- «Writefag4» Wait yeah. We found her under the stairs.
- «HTBK» *The GM says: Time in, if it please you. And Write, that may have made it even greasier, but it should be dry come morningtime.*
- «Sunfire» (I *staggered* out of that basement of my own accord)
- «Puck» "Uhhhh, kay, thanks" *takes it, looks to see if he wants a signature*
- «Writefag4» I assume I passed out in an uncofortable chair and am slowly waking up.
- «SpitFire» *stumbles to the door* thanks *and takes the package, before stubling back* what is wrong with me today I didn't have the much to drink
- «Puck» (voice is groggy too)
- «Mr.Jared» (disides to randomly check on write)
- «Ewo» I put my hand on Globe's head "Look, honey, I don't think you're going to be able to style that enough to stop it from getting it the way"
- «Ewo» I put on a fake-ish looking smile
- «Globebutt» I frown.
- «Writefag4» (Who are all these people? I'm getting really confused.)
- «Globebutt» With big, round puppy dog eyes.]

- «Globebutt» (6)
- «Sunfire» I smile at Jared as I am helped out of the blanket burrito I managed to wrap myself into. "Thanks!" I wander over to where Ewo's voice is coming from and look at the newcomer.
- «Writefag4» (Last I knew it was Write, Jared, and spitfire at the motel with Egg and Globe heading back to the motel.)
- «Writefag4» (Sunfire. Bleh.)
- «HTBK» *He does not request a signature, Puck. The "Package" is a postcard, and...of all things...a bundle of carrots. With a small smile, he turns and walks down the hall. As he goes, he mutters to himself: "So many, today. So, so many..."*
- «Mr.Jared» Write?
- «Ewo» (Do I have to roll something against Globe's?)
- «Sunfire» (Puck/Spit are at their apartment, Ewo was at their house but came to our motel room because postcard said to)
- «HTBK» *Six is a pass, Globe. Those adorable pony eyes could melt the hearts of a black ops agent.*
- «Puck» "Spitfire, did you order carrots?" I read the postcard, and who it's for.
- «Writefag4» (Are they outside I assume?)
- «Mr.Jared» (hes inside, the others like pucka re in another house entirly)
- «Writefag4» I twist around in my chair a bit slowly waking up from the least comfortable rest I've had in a while.
- «SpitFire» *I stumble over to puck* what the hell? I didn't order any carrots
- «Mr.Jared» (ewo is inside with us)
- «Ewo» "You... do it anyways..."
- «Writefag4» (So Ewo was let in?)
- «Writefag4» (What is Ewo's state?)
- «Globebutt» (They must be from a friend.)
- «HTBK» *PUCK. The postcard is addressed to you and Spitfire, jointly; and--hang on, what's that smell? something smells really...really...like both of you better fort roll.*
- «Writefag4» "Jared huh?"
- «HTBK» http://rolz.org/group
- «HTBK» (Dice room is here, for your convenience.)
- «Mr.Jared» Oh thank god you are alright
- «SpitFire» (3)
- «Ewo» (Hair, ears, tail and female)
- «Mr.Jared» its good to be back
- «HTBK» (The room you want to join is WU, AH)
- «Writefag4» Look. Something makes you guys sleep like narcoleptics. I think I get to sleep in after keeping watch all night.
- «Puck» (8)
- «Writefag4» (Wait did the pills work? Have we tried them?)
- «Puck» (oh, a roll room, okay, I'll use that from now on)
- «Mr.Jared» (no, not yet)
- «HTBK» *Spitfire, something about those carrots smells damn fine. Evidently Puck likes them better, because he leans forward and snaps one right up. Roll PON, Puck.*
- «Mr.Jared» (reminder, how ponifyed is writefag?)
- «Writefag4» (Mane tail and eyes if I remember.)
- «HTBK» *Mane, tail, eyes, vestigial horn.*
- «HTBK» *And, since apparently nothing is sacred, everyone in the room kinda wants to blow him.*
- «Puck» (is that a d6 or 10?)
- «Sunfire» "Sleep sounds good! Want company?"
- «Mr.Jared» Write, i may have a little issue then, you cant tell egg, makay?
- «Mr.Jared» (d10)
- «Writefag4» "I mean what? I feel asleep?"
- «HTBK» (D10.)
- «Writefag4» "Huh? What is it?"
- «Puck» (6)
- «Mr.Jared» The feelings are coming back
- «SpitFire» *stares at puck* dude, they aren't that good. and...(really looking at him) you don't look right dude...
- «Writefag4» "Feelings? Which ones? Like the voices?"
- «Globebutt» My eyes light up. "Master!"
- «Mr.Jared» yea, kinda like that
- «Puck» "I- I dunno, they just smelled freaking delicious..."
- «HTBK» *He doesn't look right indeed, Spitfire. His hair wasn't that strange shade of yellow last night.*
- «Ewo» I wave at Write a bit
- «Globebutt» I rush over to Writefag and give him a hug.
- «Sunfire» (everyone pile on Write!)
- «HTBK» *Globe, Sun? At the sight of Master, your hearts both leap.*
- «Writefag4» "So what do you want to talk about." I nearly topple. "Ah pony!"
- «Puck» "Don't look right how? Different from the normal post-booze night out?"
- «Mr.Jared» *Bucks off globe*
- «Globebutt» (Ewo's tail is forgotten for the moment.)
- «Globebutt» ...Can I make a roll to do something about getting kicked off of Writefag's leg?
- «Writefag4» Status of chair? Is it toppled due to consecutive pony impact?"
- «HTBK» *Puck, unless you got so drunk that you dyed Spitfire's hair magenta, that is strange. And yes you can, Globe.*
- «SpitFire» Puck, did you go to the body mod shop again last night? cause I'm not helping get the shit off you again
- «Sunfire» I zoom over to Write and hug his legs from the side. "I missed you, Master."
- «Globebutt» (9 on whatever I'm rolling. Probably talent.)
- «Mr.Jared» (that dont beat my 1)
- «Puck» "You're one to talk, I thought you avoided that place like the plague, Mr. Purple"
- «HTBK» *Turns out, you sunk a lot into talent. You hold onto him quite easily, despite that hateful pony's kicks. Quiet, your master's touch is just as brilliant as it should be.*
- «Writefag4» "Huh? Slow down. Ponies. Sunfire, Globe. I thought we had this sorted."
- «Writefag4» My hands are up above my head.
- «Globebutt» I just cling blissfully.
- «Ewo» I wave again at Write
- «Ewo» "Hey you"
- «HTBK» *Jitters, Quiet--who cares what he calls you, as long as you get to be his?*
- «Mr.Jared» You need a moment write?
- «Sunfire» I nuzzle at his leg. "Whatever you want to call us, Master."
- «Writefag4» I don't even notice Ewo. There are 3 ponies demanding my attention.
- «SpitFire» *blank stares puck, then brusts out laughing* ok we learned our lesson let never do that again right! * as I stumble more*
- «Egg_Discord» (Sorry about that. Sudden call from my dad. What's going on so far?)
- «HTBK» *The GM wishes to know if the "pets" are clinging to the inside or the outside of Master's legs.*
- «Mr.Jared» (wrties being maleld by ponies)
- «Sunfire» (piling on Write is what)
- «Globebutt» (We're hugging Master!)
- «Writefag4» (Halp. I am covered in ponies.)
- «Globebutt» (Outside.)
- «Sunfire» (Outside, on the side)
- «HTBK» *The GM stays his hand. For now.*
- «Mr.Jared» (BTW im next to write, not on him)
- «Egg_Discord» (Alright, I left off at the part where Ewo told me about the mailman. What's happened from there so far?)
- «Writefag4» "I thought we talked about this. We're going to go through this slowly."
- «Writefag4» "We're not master and pet. We're friends right?"
- «Globebutt» I'm not listening at all.
- «Mr.Jared» Writefag, i dont think you understand,
- «Puck» *also laughing* "Yeah, no kidding, my head is killing me. I'm gonna need something to drink." *heads off to kitchen*
- «Egg_Discord» I wake up after passing out from fear of the postman. "Ooohh... My head."
- «Mr.Jared» I went though what they are going though
- «HTBK» *Master seems so distressed...looks like hugging his leg won't do it.*
- «Writefag4» "You're probably right. But I'm not going to agree with them."
- «SpitFire» *reads the card* what is this an invitation to go somewhere?
- «Mr.Jared» thats the spirit write, thats how i broke free
- «HTBK» *The card is a picture of the [Unnamed] City hall. The writing reads "Wish you were here", and directs you to a second-floor motel room a few blocks away.*
- «Writefag4» "Yeah well it was a lot easier. When there was just one of you."
- «Egg_Discord» "What the-! What's going on? Write? Oh no! Jared, is he going too?!"
- «Writefag4» "Come on now you too. Off come on."
- «Sunfire» I whisper to Jitters. "Maybe we should do something nice for Master!" I maintain my hold cuddling his legs.
- «Globebutt» I reluctantly let go of Master's leg. He... he doesn't seem happy. Something's wrong. "Master?"
- «Writefag4» I try to dislodge ponies from legs.
- «Mr.Jared» *i try to help writefag get the ponies off his legs*
- «Puck» *yelling back over my shoulder* "yeah I dunno, maybe its just junk mail? Weird for it to come with food though..."
- «Ewo» I sit there, rubbing my temples
- «Mr.Jared» (what roll is that?)
- «HTBK» *As much as you want to hold him, you can't disobey Master.*
- «Mr.Jared» (more lie what stat)
- «Egg_Discord» "Sun! Globe! No!" I help pry them off "Sunfire! Globebutt! What are you two doing?!"
- «Mr.Jared» (?)
- «SpitFire» *goes and take some of the left over coffee from the night before* Nice strong, this will wake us up. *pures some puck and myself*
- «HTBK» (Irrelevant, now. Probably...athletics?)
- «Writefag4» "Okay. Okay you two. Thats better. Now lets talk this through one at a time. I don't stand a chance if you gang up on me."
- «Mr.Jared» (4)
- «Sunfire» I sigh and separate. "We'll be good, Master."
- «Writefag4» "Globe. How about you tell me what happened last night?"
- «HTBK» *Do note. Present bellies to master. Get belly rubs. Master is happy. Everyone wins.*
- «Puck» "Thanks man," *siips...* "ahhhh... yeah that's still good stuff."
- «Writefag4» "I must have fell asleep waiting."
- «Sunfire» (hhnnng)
- «Globebutt» Globe... that's what they keep calling me, right?
- «Mr.Jared» yea
- «Egg_Discord» "Globe! Globe! Come back to me, Globe! Focus!"
- «Globebutt» (Shh, stop listening to my internal dialogue!)
- «Globebutt» "Well."
- «Mr.Jared» "yea?"
- «HTBK» *Focus on master. Have to make him happy.*
- «Puck» (>use internal dialogue brackets?<)
- «Globebutt» I sit on my haunches. "I went to the brewery with that guy." I gesture over toward Egg. "We found some pills."
- «Mr.Jared» "when you get the moment write, i want to talk to you..."
- «SpitFire» this card says to be there today and soon, *me grumbles* maybe it's a job offer on a farm or something. Want to go Puck?
- «Mr.Jared» "alone"
- «Writefag4» "Jared. I'm short on moments but I'll try to get to you."
- «Egg_Discord» "...Right. Do you remember my name?"
- «Mr.Jared» "thank you"
- «Writefag4» "So then. Do you remember why you went?"
- «Globebutt» I continue ignoring the one who is not Master.
- «Egg_Discord» "Globe! I know you can hear me! Answer me!"
- «Globebutt» "...You told us to."
- «Puck» "Okay, yeah, if that was a job offer I think I'll need to get dressed, we could both use the income."
- «Sunfire» ("so basically what you're saying is, write gets a harem")
- «Mr.Jared» *goes to door*
- «Mr.Jared» *sigh* *lays next to door*
- «Puck» *goes and puts on slacks and a somewhat crumpled button up*
- «HTBK» *Puck, Spitfire. Given that the address was to a motel room, it's safe to bet that the job will at some point involve killing someone for money.*
- «Writefag4» "You wanted to go for another reason to. In fact I don't remember telling you to go."
- «HTBK» *Oh no. Jitters, master didn't tell you to go. You have to make it up to him, show him you're sorry...*
- «Ewo» I go and sit down next to Jared
- «Writefag4» (Wait Egg didn't turn into a pony while I wasn't watching did he?)
- «SpitFire» *goes and gets cleaned up and hide my new hair colour, before meeting with puck and heading over to the motel*
- «Puck» (>booze night last night, not looking horse in mouth)
- «Mr.Jared» "hmm?" *turns head to ewo*
- «SpitFire» (bad puck)
- «Puck» (hehe)
- «Globebutt» "But you did!" I remember this part clearly. "You said he and I had to investigate the brewery. I wanted to go with you, but you wouldn't come with me. You said I had to go with..." It takes me a moment. "...Egg!"
- «Ewo» "...How are you doing?"
- «Sunfire» I just sit down and obediently wait my turn with Master's attention.
- «Puck» (But yes, head to motel we shall... And I'm bringing the carrots. Cause they came with the post card. And for no other reason. None at all.)
- «Egg_Discord» (I passed out from fear)
- «Writefag4» "So why were we wanting to investigate the brewery? Must have been a reason."
- «HTBK» *Sun, you can't help but notice how...good...Master smells. MAybe he's wearing Old Spice.*
- «Egg_Discord» My Horse ears pick this up. "You remember me, Globe?"
- «SpitFire» *take one of the carrots and munch on it as didn't have breakfast*
- «Globebutt» I blink. "I forget."
- «HTBK» *Spitfire, you...understand why Puck went after it like that. Roll Fort.*
- «Ewo» "Your name was um... Jared, right?"
- «Mr.Jared» "Well lets see, im a pastel colored equine in a hotel, slowly but surely losing ym mind"
- «Globebutt» I still don't respond to the man calling me Globe. He's not my master, and that's not my name.
- «Sunfire» Old Spice is pretty nice... I try to sneak closer to Master to get a better whiff of him.
- «Mr.Jared» "yea, and aperently im also some pony called strawberry"
- «Egg_Discord» Realising a lost cause when I see one, I hear Jared.
- «Writefag4» "Well how about you tell me more about what happened there. You didn't just find the pills lying outside did you?"
- «SpitFire» (1)
- «Ewo» "It's probably best if I don't call you that, right? I think I should probably skidaddle soon though""
- «Egg_Discord» "No you're not, Jared. You were never named Strawberry."
- «SpitFire» (normaly rolls hate me)
- «HTBK» *Sun, are you going to properly roll for that, or take it as the GM calls it?*
- «Egg_Discord» "Ewo, please stay. We need help!"
- «Sunfire» (9)
- «Ewo» "...Yes. That is... so, so true."
- «HTBK» (Hm...)
- «Egg_Discord» "Besides, where are you gonna go? There were people following us when we changed. It's safer for you if you're here where they can't track us for now."
- «Globebutt» "Of course not! There was a secret lab inside. Was a whole box of pill bottles."
- «Writefag4» "A lab huh? What were they researching?"
- «HTBK» *Quiet, you manage to bring your nose within inches of Master. You can't deny it: something about him smells *amazing*. It smells sweet and sour and warm and welcoming and powerful all at once. Roll Fort.*
- «Ewo» "I got a postcard, that none of you apparently sent, I think whoever cares found you."
- «Sunfire» (...9)
- «Sunfire» (aand
- «Sunfire» (eight)
- «Writefag4» (Hilariously inapropriate 8))
- «Globebutt» "I don't know. But there were pills! Supposed to cu... treat whatever's wrong with us! Egg only took one bottle, though."
- «Puck» (why the two rolls?)
- «Egg_Discord» "...Oh no. They found us this quickly?"
- «HTBK» *As master talks, you lift your muzzle and gently lick his hand. It tastes...perfect, and you know you want more...*
- «Globebutt» I nuzzle against Master's leg. "I'm sure you would have remember them all."
- «Sunfire» (I rolled higher than my fort, so I saved time by rolling for my PON gain)
- «Puck» (ah)
- «Ewo» "It can't have been a coincedence I don't think."
- «Writefag4» I twitch and pull my leg onto my lap focused on Globe.
- «SpitFire» (did I screw mine up HTBK)
- «HTBK» (No, you're good.)
- «Writefag4» "So. Somethings wrong with you then?"
- «HTBK» *Ohmigod master's lap is open.*
- «Globebutt» I frown and look back to Egg. "Apparently I'm not convincing enough. I told him to take all the pills, and not to blow up that whole vat of goo stuff!"
- «Egg_Discord» "Definitely not a coincidence! They sent a... mailman" I manage to force the words out of my throat, barely managing to not freak out, "To our place with a bouquet of roses."
- «Sunfire» I take in as much of his scent as possible and keep licking at his hand.
- «Mr.Jared» *goes back to laying by door*
- «Writefag4» "Goo stuff. Interesting. Do you remember what it was?"
- «Writefag4» "Or what it did."
- «Puck» *As we walk* "So, Spitfire, how much do you remember of last night, cause then best I can get is that I ordered too many drinks."
- «HTBK» *Write, Globe, toss them fort dice.*
- «Ewo» "Well, at least you wouldn't have eaten the roses"
- «Writefag4» (7)
- «Globebutt» (4. Dammit. Anything less than 5 is suicide.)
- «Ewo» "For some reason I trusted eating a carrot I got in the mail"
- «Egg_Discord» "..." I can't answer her as I look down in shame, tears forming in my eyes.
- «Mr.Jared» "What?"
- «SpitFire» *wonders into the motel with Puck and looks for the right room* Not much, didn't think we had that much but maybe we just got the good stuff? and I keep thinking I hear hooves clopping around in this place
- «Mr.Jared» Globe, writefag, what are you two do-
- «Sunfire» If Write's just going to keep that hand dangling, just gonna keep bonking it with my nose like I want pats and licking it.
- «HTBK» *Write, despite yourself, you pull Quiet onto your lap. And Globe, you climb right up on Master, where you belong.*
- «Egg_Discord» "I... I did, though."
- «Globebutt» (...And a 9? Fuck.)
- «HTBK» *Roll dat PON. Spitfire, it's a shitty outdoor motel. You're probably about to walk into an arms deal.*
- «Writefag4» (3)
- «» Shinto joined the chat.
- «Ewo» I hear a bit of the footsteps in the hallway, and I try to listen harder to make sure.
- «Sunfire» (weapons grade pone)
- «Mr.Jared» Writefag! No!
- «SpitFire» (7) (this can't be good)
- «Globebutt» (I'm at 9.4, aren't I.)
- «Egg_Discord» "I ate them right out of his hand! And then he pet me, calling me a good girl!"
- «Writefag4» "Huh?"
- «HTBK» (Yes you are.)
- «Egg_Discord» "It was so humiliating!"
- «Mr.Jared» Get them off you!
- «SpitFire» (lol)
- «Sunfire» (We'll be good for Master together, Globe. : P)
- «Globebutt» I smile at Master from his lap.
- «Mr.Jared» It's not helping!
- «Writefag4» "What do you mean?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Jared, get Globe!" I say as I yank Sun off Write's lap
- «Mr.Jared» You are helping their brains go pony!
- «Ewo» "But you liked it, didn't you?"
- «Sunfire» I feel elated being on his lap, and settle in to get cozy.
- «HTBK» *The GM gets his just desserts. Globe, roll fort.*
- «Mr.Jared» *grab and pull globe off write*
- «Ewo» I sound quite sincere about this, not joking at all.
- «Writefag4» "I uh. Oh." I attempt to stand. I'm not sure how successful I am at overcoming their weight.
- «HTBK» *No PON roll this time.*
- «HTBK» *One moment, everyone.*
- «Globebutt» (4. http://youtu.be/yu_RmSJxtUE )
- «HTBK» *Ah, yes.*
- «Egg_Discord» "...Yeah, but I'm not a girl. I'm a man!" I said as I help Sunfire away from Write.
- «Puck» "Uhh, is it just me or does this place seem a tad shifty?"
- «HTBK» *Globe, in the very instant before Master rises, you can't help yourself. you plant your hooves on his chest, and for a moment your lips meet his--*
- «HTBK» *And then, of course, it's over.*
- «HTBK» *what a shame.*
- «Ewo» "You shouldn't worry about that, I'm a guy too.... I think I hear someone coming up"
- «Writefag4» Flail. Flail. Flail!
- «Egg_Discord» "Can you get that? I'm kind of busy here."
- «Sunfire» I flail in Egg's grasp. "Hay I was enjoying that!"
- «Mr.Jared» shoot!
- «Mr.Jared» everyone to your places
- «Globebutt» (Can I still use my 8 on Talent to not get pulled off by J?)
- «Egg_Discord» "Yeah, Sun, that's the problem! I'm doing this for your own good!"
- «HTBK» (Yes, I think you can.)
- «Sunfire» "Quiet Nights."
- «SpitFire» Yah, it doesn't, maybe this isn't a good idea *looks around to see if they are about to be jumped*
- «Globebutt» (So what's my situation right now?)
- «HTBK» (Clinging to Master's chest, I think.)
- «HTBK» *The GM notes that Write just had two mares crawling over him.*
- «HTBK» *He decides to be courteous and ask the party if it's fare to ask him to roll fort.*
- «HTBK» fair*
- «Writefag4» (Must have forgotten to turn my swag off.)
- «Globebutt» (Probably.)
- «Egg_Discord» "No, it's Sun. Think. You weren't always a Pony! You hired the stripper, remember?"
- «HTBK» *Nobody is waiting to ambush you, Spitfire. Lucky you.*
- «SpitFire» (lol)
- «Ewo» (Yes)
- «Sunfire» "But what if I like being the pony, huh?" I pout.
- «HTBK» *So be it. Globe, your 8 means you can keep yourself stuck to Master's chest. Write, as much as you may be appalled, your other head isn't. Roll fort.*
- «SpitFire» *looks at Puck as we get to the door with a wierd look* what is all that noise in there?
- «Writefag4» (4)
- «» Shinto left the chat.
- «HTBK» (Ow.)
- «Puck» *listens* "I dunno, doesn't -sound- like gangsters..."
- «HTBK» *And, strangely enough, you...don't have any problem, with Globe clinging to you. Roll PON.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Then you'll never be human again, Sun! You have to remember back! Last night! What's your favorite kind of pizza?" I'm getting more and more desperate, getting closer and closer to having yet another of my trademark panic attacks
- «Ewo» I decide to open the door and go into the hallway, sitting down against the wall as fast as I can, closing the door behind me.
- «Writefag4» (10)
- «Mr.Jared» (fak)
- «Globebutt» (Err, Ewo. Think this is an exterior hallway style inn.)
- «Puck» (wait, THE door?)
- «Sunfire» "But... but..." I turn my head toward Master, gazing longingly wishing I could be Jitters right now.
- «Globebutt» (The better-than-Sombra door?)
- «Ewo» (I still think I can do all that)
- «SpitFire» (the door wer are standing in front of?)
- «Puck» (lol, as in the door that me and Spit are on the other side of?)
- «HTBK» *Write, a gentle prickling sensation spreads all across your body: a carpet of green fur, that rapidly supplants your hair. Your fingers numb ever so slightly, while there is a tremendous pounding in your head...but all of that pales before the little mare in your arms.*
- «Egg_Discord» "He's not your master, Sun! Tell me, what's your favorite kind of pizza?"
- «Puck» (d'awwww)
- «Globebutt» (I'm so fuckin' adorable!)
- «Mr.Jared» *stares at write*
- «Writefag4» "I uh. uh."
- «Mr.Jared» OH FUCK NO!
- «SpitFire» *me goes to knock on the door, just as it swing open*
- «HTBK» *Yes you are, Jitters. Quiet...maybe Egg just wants a pony of his own?*
- «HTBK» *Spitfire, Puck.*
- «Puck» *hearing some of this from outside*
- «Writefag4» I pick up Globe.
- «Mr.Jared» *kick out writes knees*
- «Puck» (yes?)
- «HTBK» *You appear to be staring at the aftermath of a particularly raunchy furcon.*
- «HTBK» *And not the fun kind, with gunfights.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Look at me, Sun. What's my name." I look him straight in the eyes.
- «HTBK» *the kind where someone paints himself like a zebra and imports a goat to serve as a catamite.*
- «HTBK» *Ew.*
- «Puck» "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...."
- «Sunfire» "Quiet Nights could be your pony..."
- «SpitFire» I think we are in the wrong place!
- «Mr.Jared» *stops before kick*
- «Mr.Jared» oh shit
- «Ewo» I stare up at both of them "Did you two get some weird stuff today?"
- «HTBK» *9. Jared, you are tiny pone, and Write does not bother so OH DEAR JESUS SOMEONE SHUT THE DOOR*
- «Mr.Jared» *wiggles way under bed*
- «Writefag4» (Did someone open the door?)
- «Egg_Discord» Oh shit! This isn't good. "No, no, I don't want a pony! I want my friend back!"
- «Globebutt» I look adorable in Writefag's arms.
- «HTBK» *wait, wait, false alarm. They seem to have caught the Pony as well.*
- «SpitFire» (yes and we are standing in the doorway)
- «Writefag4» I set down Globe look down at my pants then run to the bathroom.
- «Puck» "Excuse us, I think we're in the wrong room, so I think we'll just be leaving..." *turns, walks slowly towards door*
- «HTBK» *Everyone take your suicide pills, it's an epidemic.*
- «Globebutt» I look sad and confused.
- «Globebutt» "Master?"
- «SpitFire» *backs away with puck* we make a run for it in... 3 ... 2...
- «Sunfire» I try to think. "Friend..."
- «HTBK» *HOLY SHIT QUIET LOOK MASTER'S ARMS ARE OPEN*
- «Writefag4» I close the door behind me.
- «Egg_Discord» "Go on..." I say intently to Sun
- «Globebutt» I trot over to the bathroom, and pound on the door. "Master? Is everything okay?"
- «SpitFire» (did you just close us in or out?)
- «Writefag4» Out.
- «Writefag4» Check pants. Is everything all right?
- «Ewo» I stay in the hallway, in a near-fetal position.
- «Sunfire» I get distracted looking at Write for a moment. "Huh?"
- «Egg_Discord» I wish I could do something for Globe, but I'm busy with sun
- «HTBK» *Write, one might say that things are...*
- «HTBK» *The GM puts on his sunglasses.*
- «Globebutt» (A little hairy?)
- «HTBK» *...On the up-and-up.*
- «Writefag4» (I was going to say looking up.)
- «Egg_Discord» "No no, focus on me, right now, Sun. Tell me who I am."
- «SpitFire» *looks at puke* what the hell was that?
- «Mr.Jared» (i detect a horrible pun incoming)
- «Puck» "Uhhh, well that was....."
- «SpitFire» puck*
- «Sunfire» "Egg?"
- «Puck» "was... off."
- «Globebutt» (Spitfire has a damn weak stomach.)
- «Writefag4» "Um. I need a minute I think."
- «Egg_Discord» "That's right. Do you remember what happened a couple nights ago? When we ordered beer, pizza and a stripper?"
- «SpitFire» (and getting weaker)
- «Sunfire» (800 stallion boners)
- «Ewo» "Hey, I asked if you two got some weird package or something."
- «HTBK» "They did!"
- «Sunfire» "I miss beer."
- «Globebutt» "Anything I can help with?"
- «HTBK» *These words are muttered to Ewo as a man in a postal uniform and a flat cap starts up the stairs, already reaching around in his sack for the next envelope.*
- «Writefag4» "I have a little. Big problem."
- «Puck» (wait, did we get shut out of the apartment or did I misread something?)
- «Globebutt» (fuckfuckfuck!)
- «SpitFire» (I think they are yelling through the door or open with the chain)
- «Egg_Discord» "Beer is good. Now tell me, what kind of pizza did we order?"
- «Ewo» "Oh... hey there I guess."
- «SpitFire» maybe we should tell the motel staff or the police, that can't be right in there
- «HTBK» *The chaos in the room is interrupted--or perhaps undercut--by a knock at the motel room door.*
- «Writefag4» I go to the mirror and wish for a paper bag to hyperventiate in. Status report.
- «Globebutt» I speak up. "Can I help you with anything, Master?"
- «Sunfire» "Uhh pepperoni?"
- «HTBK» *Write. Write, why do you have a horn sticking out of your head?*
- «HTBK» *Wait, it's because you're turning into a unicorn.*
- «HTBK» *that's why.*
- «Puck» (wait, postman guy is right here) "Uhh, was this the place that the postcard was sent from?"
- «Writefag4» (I thought I had it before?)
- «Egg_Discord» "That's right. We ordered a couple more kinds of pizza, didn't we?"
- «HTBK» (Longer, and more than a pronounced bump.*
- «HTBK» *The postman shrugs.*
- «Writefag4» (Okay.)
- «Sunfire» "Probably, but I ... I..."
- «HTBK» "I dunno, sir. I just carry the mail."
- «HTBK» *He knocks on the door twice more.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Think hard about it, Sun. How many pizzas did we order that night?"
- «Writefag4» I turn. "Coat. Uh. Some kind of slushie?"
- «Sunfire» "Some ridiculous number like 7."
- «Puck» *watches in morbid fascination for his reaction to what's in the room*
- «HTBK» *Greenish. Vaguely reminiscent of mints?*
- «Writefag4» (Am I correct in assuming I have a mark now?)
- «HTBK» (Only a vague imprint of one.)
- «Writefag4» (Okay.)
- «Ewo» I stand up and look over Puck and SpitFire, looking for anything pony-like.
- «HTBK» "Some people just party too hard."
- «HTBK» *After a long moment, the postman speaks up:*
- «HTBK» "Mail for you!"
- «SpitFire» what the hell is....*as I now stare blankly*
- «Globebutt» I sit on my haunches outside the bathroom door. "You want a slushie?"
- «Writefag4» "And." I glance down for a moment before looking back up quickly. "Yeah."
- «Egg_Discord» "Yep. Lucky number seven. Your favorite type of pizza is..." I ignore everything else to help Sun.
- «Writefag4» I try to get my pants back on.
- «HTBK» "Hm."
- «SpitFire» (we just got pulled inside didn't we HTBK)
- «Globebutt» "...How about if I got us some frozen coffee?"
- «Sunfire» "I'm not picky at parties..."
- «Ewo» (I'm outside the room)
- «» Shinto joined the chat.
- «HTBK» *The postman opens up the door, and slowly looks around.*
- «HTBK» "..."
- «» Shinto(Jeez, you guys have been going at it for a while now :P)
- «Puck» *at Ewo* "Uh, hi, we were supposed to come to this motel-- oh hold on I wanna see this."
- «Egg_Discord» "That's true-" I see the postman, and that's it for me. "NO!!! HELP ME SUN! HIDE ME!!!" I start scrambling to hide under the bed
- «SpitFire» Yah, maybe this isn't where we should be, thanks for the carrots though
- «HTBK» *He blinks slowly, his expression unchanging, before he simply lays the postcard down on the floor next to the door. At the sight of Egg, he flashes a grin reminiscent of your creep uncle Dan, and turns away.*
- «Writefag4» (I assume I got them back on.) "Okay. Okay" I sit down on the toilet. "Deep breaths here. One. Two..."
- «SpitFire» Puck maybe we should really leave
- «Puck» "yeah, they
- «HTBK» "You should share them, mister. The more the merrier."
- «HTBK» *And with that final nod to Spitfire, he starts off down the stairs.*
- «Puck» "are super tasty!" *munches*
- «Sunfire» "Egg? What?"
- «Ewo» "This was the right place."
- «HTBK» *Egg. Roll fort.*
- «Egg_Discord» (4)
- «Puck» "wait, what? seriously?"
- «HTBK» (You have for 5. Lucky you.)
- «Sunfire» (fort 5 is just an obvious choice)
- «Puck» (cough)
- «Ewo» "It's odd... I can't find a single weird thing about you though... Did you go drinking last night?"
- «HTBK» (I want to fix that. There needs to be some reason to *not* take fort 5...)
- «Globebutt» (Don't make it a stat. It never changes.)
- «Puck» "yeah, we did... what do you mean weird thing...?" *gives odd look*
- «Writefag4» "Nine, Ten." I check again. "Come on. Go down."
- «Egg_Discord» "It's the postman, Sun! He's gonna get me!"
- «SpitFire» look we aren't into this kind of thing, I support choice of life style but I really like the ladies. Come on Puck we need to get out of here
- «Ewo» (To make it more interesting I guess. Also, I think it should be a die roll myself)
- «Sunfire» "He's gone, Egg!"
- «Sunfire» "He's not gonna get you."
- «Globebutt» I knock on the bathroom door again. "Master?"
- «HTBK» *It's going down little by little, Write. Lucky you.*
- «Sunfire» (why is the over-9 PON having to do support)
- «Ewo» "Well, I just heard you got a bunch of carrots. I got one."
- «HTBK» *Spitfire, it's an entire room of ladies.*
- «Writefag4» "Eleven. Twelve..."
- «HTBK» *You blind, nigga?*
- «Puck» "Yeah, spit, lets- wait, you got the carrots too?"
- «SpitFire» (oh I thought they were mosty guys)
- «Globebutt» (Not any more~)
- «» Shinto left the chat.
- «HTBK» (The only guy is in the shitter right now.)
- «Egg_Discord» I crawl out from beneath the bed. "A-Are you sure?"
- «Puck» (not even mostly human anymore methinks)
- «Sunfire» (just one stallion locking himself in the bathroom)
- «Sunfire» "I saw him leave!"
- «Globebutt» (DID you lock the door?)
- «Writefag4» "Nineteen. Twenty." Something seems funny about the word twenty. "Twenty one."
- «Ewo» "I just got it this morning. Just found myself with this tail, and a woman when I woke up."
- «Egg_Discord» I completely climb out. "Thank god. Do you remember anything else?"
- «HTBK» *Twenty is a weird word. Try thinking of your mum.*
- «Ewo» "Apparently all of these people are turning into... horses I guess."
- «Writefag4» (I'm thinking counting to 50 hopefully does the trick.)
- «Puck» "Uhh..." *looks Ewo over, trying not to earn a slap*
- «Globebutt» I knock on the bathroom door a third time. "Master? Are you okay in there?"
- «Sunfire» I rub my head. "It's hard, Egg..."
- «SpitFire» Puck I don't think we should get wrapped up in this, I have my pilot's test next week
- «Writefag4» "And 50. Okay okay? We good to go outside now." I stand up and look at myself in the mirror again.
- «HTBK» *You good to go outside.*
- «Ewo» "All I can think of is maybe your hair changed or eye color or something."
- «Egg_Discord» "Do you at least remember your name?"
- «Writefag4» I slowly open the door.
- «Sunfire» "Quiet Nights!"
- «Sunfire» "That much is easy!"
- «Globebutt» I start bouncing in excitement,
- «Puck» "Yeah Spit, the last thing you need in your system is- wait what?"
- «Egg_Discord» "No, that's not right. Why would a guy be named Quiet Nights?"
- «Writefag4» There are other people out there. "I um. Egg?"
- «Sunfire» I umm and err...
- «Ewo» "This tail isn't a fake..."
- «Writefag4» "Whats going on."
- «Egg_Discord» "What is it, Write?"
- «SpitFire» *I stare at puck* I think got a little to drunk and maybe the guys did our hair and wanted us to party with them again
- «Globebutt» I eagerly bounce around Master's feet.
- «Calc» joined the chat.
- «SpitFire» Lesson learned, right Puck?
- «HTBK» *Because you're just quiet, Quiet.*(
- «Globebutt» "Master! Master! You weren't answering! Should I get you a frozen coffee?"
- «HTBK» *Why else?*
- «Egg_Discord» *SIGH* I go grab Globe and put him right next to Sunfire, keeping him away from Write.
- «Sunfire» "Because! Why you gotta pick on me for being named what I am, huh?"
- «Writefag4» "Who are these people?"
- «Puck» *unconvinced* "yeah, those guys are always giving us shit..."
- «Globebutt» (10 on Talent to resist.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Write, this is Ewo, Puck and Spitfire. They're turning into ponies too."
- «Puck» *glances back to Ewo for an second* "Maybe we should jet..."
- «Writefag4» "Did you find anything last night?"
- «Puck» "Oh, Hello"
- «HTBK» *9.4. You're ready to march through Hellfire and brimstone to stay at Master's side, and he'll have to work harder than that.*
- «Ewo» "You probably should."
- «Writefag4» I sit down on the chair and pull my legs up leaving no lap.
- «Globebutt» I trot over to his side.
- «Egg_Discord» "Yeah, we found some pills. There was also some chemical vats, but we blew those up. I thougth destroying them would save everyone, but obviously not." I stop Globe from going to Write.
- «SpitFire» *just stares blankly again* ponies?
- «Writefag4» "You blew them up? You did what?"
- «Ewo» "Just... if you grow a tail or anything, you know what's up."
- «Globebutt» (1 on relfexes to try to bypass Egg.)
- «Sunfire» I cover my ears from getting annoyed at all the crosstalk in this tiny motel room.
- «Mr.Jared» (ima go now)
- «HTBK» *Disregard Egg, acquire cuddles.*
- «Mr.Jared» (someone give me a summery whn i get bac)
- «Puck» *whispers to Spitfire* "I think there may have been a gasleak or something..."
- «Globebutt» "You said something about a slushie. Could I get you a frozen coffee?"
- «SpitFire» *whispers back* mixed with some crystal meth...
- «Writefag4» "Globe. Just sit down. I'm scared okay."
- «Egg_Discord» "I blew up the vats to try and prevent anyone from suffering the same fates as us. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that by the looks of it, I did absolutely nothing." Saying those last few words fills me with indescribable shame
- «Sunfire» (Egg, you may have doomed the whole city)
- «Globebutt» I sit down and make a very sad pony face.
- «Writefag4» "How did you even manage that?"
- «Puck» *still whispering* "This sounds like the last thing you need showing up on your test, shall we make our exit?"
- «Writefag4» "And what pills are you talking about?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Someone named HS left C4 in the breakroom."
- «Puck» (should me and spit be rolling for whispering?)
- «Ewo» "Oh, and try to stay away from horse-like things. Like those carrots"
- «SpitFire» ok, we are not take the last try to the crazy farm, lets get the hell out of here *as I back out and trip over something*
- «Egg_Discord» "These ones!" I hold up the bottle.
- «Writefag4» "So why did you steal pills that turn us into horses?"
- «Egg_Discord» "These ones don't turn us into horses! They should help us control the changes! The bad news is that there's only twenty."
- «Puck» "But the carrots are delic-" *looks a Spit as he falls*
- «Writefag4» "Only one bottle?"
- «Ewo» I run over to SpitFire "Hey, are you alright?"
- «HTBK» *Whoooo's lookin at carrots.*
- «Globebutt» (I'm looking at Master!)
- «HTBK» (Good girl.)
- «Sunfire» I'm cowering on the bed scared of how busy the room is.
- «Egg_Discord» "That's all I could get out before the bomb blew up."
- «Puck» (....I was thinking about them....)
- «SpitFire» *struggle to get up and and knock my hat off* yah, I just have 2 left feet today, haha...
- «Globebutt» (That's all you BOTHERED to get!)
- «Puck» (and how delicious they were...)
- «Writefag4» "Sunfire? You don't look so good. Come over here."
- «Ewo» I laugh a little "Maybe you should make sure you don't have hooves!"
- «Egg_Discord» "It's getting hard to.. I can't concentra-EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!" I shout at the top of my lungs, fed up with everything that's been happening.
- «Puck» "Uh, its okay guys, I'm sure he's fine..."
- «Sunfire» I don't even care that Master called me by that other name, I just bound across the room at full tilt and skid to a stop at his feet, looking up at him eagerly. "Yes Master?"
- «SpitFire» haha, not the last time I check (GM do I now?) *as I tried to keep calm*
- «Puck» *stunned quiet by egg*
- «Writefag4» "Just sit down. Okay. You don't look so good. I don't feel so good."
- «Globebutt» I cower and sob.
- «HTBK» (One moment, Spitfire.)
- «HTBK» (What were you referring to?)
- «Egg_Discord» "Listen, everyone! Whether we like it or not, we're turning into ponies who think they're someone's pet, and if we don't find away to fix this, we're all gonna end up like Globe over here!"
- «Ewo» "Why does everything seem so much louder..." I mumble as I feel around my head.
- «SpitFire» (he said I should check to see if I had hooves, I said "not the last time I checked)
- «HTBK» *Ewo, your ears were't four inches long last night.*
- «HTBK» (You do not, Spitfire.)
- «Puck» *just noticed that all the ponies in this room seem to be speaking*
- «Egg_Discord» "I suggest we all work together to try and help these guys remember who they are."
- «SpitFire» (thanks)
- «Puck» *deep breathing is not helping*
- «Ewo» I jump back a little, feeling my ears for the first time
- «HTBK» *Globe...Ohmigod master's taking Quiet he'll take you you just have to get to him and he'll make you safe--*
- «Globebutt» But there's loud noises! And it's scary! I want Master to come to ME! ...with coffee!
- «Egg_Discord» "Puck, Spitfire! Take Sun and Globe over there and show them the film on that camera. It'll help them remember!"
- «Sunfire» Of course, I obediently sit and keep gazing longingly up at Master.
- «SpitFire» This just some kind of crazy furry party
- «SpitFire» right?
- «Writefag4» "You two should go do that. Try to remember for me okay?"
- «HTBK» *If you were a good girl, you'd already be by his side...*
- «Globebutt» (Well, I was.)
- «Puck» "SpitFire. Those Ponies are talking."
- «Ewo» "H-hey, if you don't believe me, you can try and see how my ears connect to my head"
- «Puck» "Tell me I'm seeing things."
- «Writefag4» I bury my head in my knees.
- «Globebutt» I look up. "Huh? What?"
- «Egg_Discord» "No, you two! It's not a party. It's a disaster waiting to happen, and the sooner you start accepting what's happening and start helping us, the sooner we can all go back to being human!"
- «Globebutt» "What did you say, Master?"
- «SpitFire» What film? *as I pull puck away from the ponies*
- «Calc» left the chat.
- «Writefag4» "You both recorded something. You should watch it."
- «Writefag4» "Back before I was your master."
- «Puck» *vice rising* "I don't think I can deal with this!"
- «Globebutt» But Master's always been Master!
- «Egg_Discord» "Do you see that camera on the floor? Turn it on and show both of the ponies what's on it. It will help them remember who they are! I'll help you out in a minute."
- «Sunfire» I nod in agreement with Jitters.
- «Puck» "Why are you talking?!"
- «Puck» *pointing at globe*
- «SpitFire» I'm at a lost here
- «Ewo» I try to comfort Puck
- «Globebutt» (That wasn't spoken aloud, but I'll assume you just said that, Sunfire.)
- «SpitFire» *looks at the tv screen*
- «Writefag4» "Watch it anyway. Thats an order."
- «HTBK» *The GM remembered that it's trash night.*
- «Sunfire» (err, w/e)
- «Egg_Discord» "Jared, please fill Write in on everything I told you about last night. I'll go help Sun and Globe remember!"
- «HTBK» *May we hold for a moment?*
- «Globebutt» "...Yes, Master." It's just a movie, anyway.
- «Puck» (yes we may)
- «Egg_Discord» (what's the problem?)
- «Globebutt» (Sure! I need to refill my water bottle, anyway. And Calc needs to get his shit together!)
- «Sunfire» "Yes Master!"
- «SpitFire» (sure)
- «Sunfire» (holding)
- «HTBK» *I WILL RETURN*
- «Puck» ( I can resume my panic and pronouncing ponies later)
- «Puck» (*at)
- «SpitFire» (want to move pass the move to just after?)
- «Sunfire» (Sorry newcomers if you're feeling left out, I think me and Globe have extreme tunnelvision from highish PON)
- «Puck» (what does this film consist of?)
- «Sunfire» (And everyone else is trying to deal with us)
- «Puck» (nah, I gets it)
- «SpitFire» (all good)
- «Puck» (lol, w4 was trying bounce back and forth with us all)
- «Egg_Discord» (The film contains me, Write, Sun, Jared and Globe all telling the camera about who we are. We made just in case anyone began forgetting who we were.)
- «Puck» (ah, smart)
- «Puck» (how far along in the PON were you at the time?)
- «Writefag4» (Sadly Globe's was a bit vauge. It might not help.)
- «Globebutt» (I'm not sure my reel's very helpful, though. I think I was a little further lost than they realized.)
- «Globebutt» (And they asked all the wrong questions.)
- «Egg_Discord» (There's still hope for Sun, though)
- «Globebutt» (Yeah, I think I'm fucked unless I get facepunched a few times and maybe we call up my mom or something.)
- «Sunfire» (but master~)
- «Globebutt» (Except the picture alone did nothing. Why would the voice? We need her on video chat.)
- «Writefag4» (Sadly this isn't the Writefag that hands out beatings like candy)
- «SpitFire» (write how far PON are you?)
- «Globebutt» (9.4)
- «Sunfire» (I'm at 9.1 I think)
- «Globebutt» (I rolled pretty bad this session, and left of last time at 7.5)
- «Puck» (I think my freaking out is going to consist of the fetal position and quiet rocking)
- «Puck» (how do you calculate the PON decimals?)
- «Sunfire» (was trying to recover some talking with Egg, but dunno if it actually worked)
- «Egg_Discord» (3.9 for me)
- «Sunfire» (the amount you roll on a PON gain is in tenths of a whole PON point)
- «Puck» (ahhhhhhh)
- «Globebutt» (To have hands again!)
- «Calc» joined the chat.
- «Sunfire» (i.e. if you roll a 7 you gain .7 PON)
- «SpitFire» (2.7 then for me I think)
- «Puck» (2.8 for me)
- «Globebutt» (Not too bad at all.)
- «Sunfire» (Really I think revising it to be whole numbers on a 100 scale might go better. doesn't SAN work that way in CoC? the -other- CoC)
- «Puck» (nope, where was that scale of what happened when?)
- «Puck» (heh, and yes, I think it does)
- «HTBK» *The GM is returned. He wonders if anyone is going to run the Jigsaw setup; because if nobody else wants to, he really does.*
- «Globebutt» (Call in Calc!)
- «Globebutt» (Do it now!)
- «Globebutt» (Jigsaw setup, as in...?)
- «Egg_Discord» (The Jigsaw setup?)
- «HTBK» *^^><V^C*
- «HTBK» (That poni'd version of the SAW movies.)
- «HTBK» (Where instead of fighting for your life you're fighting for a future that isn't cuddly.)
- «Sunfire» (why would you ever want a non-cuddly future)
- «Globebutt» (Oh. Nah. Wasn't planning. Busy right now, anyway. Wanna watch that movie Master wanted to show me.)
- «Writefag4» I continue sitting curled up on the chair but I try to listen to the recording over the noise.
- «SpitFire» *looks at the tv and then at the ponies* you want us to believe they are the same people?
- «Globebutt» (I was still horse when they recorded me.)
- «Ewo» I hug Puck, freaking out a bit myself.
- «HTBK» *Strange, Jitters. Strange for you too, Quiet. You can remember saying the words, but...why?*
- «Sunfire» (I was horse when I was recorded as well)
- «Puck» *huddles on the floor*
- «Writefag4» "Ahem." I clear my throat. If mine was the first I'm mostly the same.
- «HTBK» *Did master make you...?*
- «Calc» (Wait, fuck. Wasn't paying attention.)
- «Writefag4» "Minus the fur I think."
- «Globebutt» I feel thoroughly confused.
- «Egg_Discord» "It's hard to believe, but it's true. Take a look at me in that video. Do you see any tail on me in the video?"
- «Sunfire» I look to Jitters. "What do you think?"
- «SpitFire» *passes out on the floor*
- «HTBK» *Oh dear.*
- «Egg_Discord» To drive the point home, I kind of shake my tail for them.
- «HTBK» *Spitfire isn't turning into a pony at all. He's a fainting goat!*
- «Globebutt» "I don't know. Sounds like me. Looks like me. Think I said it."
- «SpitFire» (I'm setting myself up here for hell, aren't I)
- «Globebutt» (Oh, shit!)
- «SpitFire» (lol)
- «Globebutt» "I... don't remember what I was talking about, though."
- «HTBK» *...Gee, Egg? Should...showing your rump to another mare feel so fun? Roll dat fort, homeslice.*
- «Puck» *Looks at unconscious SpitFire* "Oh good"
- «Sunfire» "Yeah, I remember saying those words, I even was a little sarcastic and shocked... but..."
- «Ewo» "You're um... Puck, right?"
- «SpitFire» (HTBK does me being out of it speed up the change?)
- «Puck» "Yeah... thats me..." *still shaking a bit*
- «Globebutt» (Are you /trying/ to lose your hands!?)
- «HTBK» (Prolly not, Spitfire.)
- «Egg_Discord» (3. Man, do I have good luck)
- «HTBK» (Yes you do.)
- «Ewo» I pet Puck's shoulder a little "I don't know what's happening either..."
- «Mr.Jared» (well, img going to withdraw myself, assume im passed out under the bed)
- «Puck» "Your name was... Ewo? Is all this for real?"
- «Globebutt» (I thought you already left!)
- «Globebutt» (Night anyway, J.)
- «Mr.Jared» (yea, complications)
- «Sunfire» (Night J)
- «Mr.Jared» (i still want that summery)
- «SpitFire» (night J)
- «Egg_Discord» (Night, Jared)
- «Sunfire» I groan in frustration. "So much of a headache..."
- «SpitFire» *twitches on the floor*
- «Ewo» "As far as I can tell, yeah. These folks are losing their minds... and turning into horses..."
- «Ewo» "So am I... and maybe you two..."
- «Egg_Discord» "Spitfire! Wake up!" I slap Spitfire enough to wake him.
- «Puck» "Yeah, that's what I was worried you'd say. You wanna give me hand here?" *go and try to wake spit up a tad more gently*
- «Globebutt» I give Sunfire a brotherly (sisterly?) hug. "I'm sure everything's fine." We DO still have master.
- «SpitFire» *wakes up at first thinking it was all a dream, then...* AARRGGGG!!!!
- «Puck» "AAAAGGGGHHH!"
- «Egg_Discord» "Thank god! You passed out, man."
- «Sunfire» I smile and return coffee pone's hug. "Yeah, maybe we're just overthinking things..."
- «Writefag4» I watch the two out of the corner of my eye.
- «Globebutt» I jolt out of the hug and fall backwards. Loud noises are bad for Jitter Bean!
- «SpitFire» this...this is some kind of sick joke right? or we smoked some bad stuff right?
- «Egg_Discord» Hearing Globe, I do the only thing I can do. "GLOBE! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!" As I shout this, I deliver the harden slap I can muster
- «Ewo» "One of you can fly, right?"
- «HTBK» *The GM mentions in passing that panic will get you nowhere.*
- «Puck» "Don't start that shit man, I'm barely holding it together as it is!"
- «Writefag4» "Egg!"
- «Egg_Discord» "I'm sorry, Write, but what else was I supposed to do? He's close to being gone for good!"
- «HTBK» *Writefag...Egg just hit your Jitterbean. Roll fort?*
- «Writefag4» (4)
- «SpitFire» *breaths deep* ok, ok, that slap hurt, there has to be a way to fix this...HOW DO WE FIX THIS?!"
- «Writefag4» (Its funny how often I get those.)
- «Globebutt» (...What happens, GM? I think I fell over on my back (likely baring my crotchtits and incredibly rubbable belly) then got slapped in the face.)
- «Puck» (Oh you.)
- «Sunfire» I try to comfort Globe after that smack, glaring daggers at Egg.
- «HTBK» >Without thinking, you dive forward and wrap yourself around your poor, dazed mare. Roll PON. Globe, you--stop being a pervert, Globe. But you lose a small undisclosed amount of PON for gritting teeth.*
- «Writefag4» (6)
- «Globebutt» (You know it's gotta be a fuzzy belly.)
- «HTBK» (OOOOH MY!)
- «Writefag4» "Come on you two." I go sit on the bed laying Egg down next to me.
- «HTBK» *That would be well and good, Egg, but...*
- «Writefag4» "Hop on up sunfire." I pat the spot next to me.
- «HTBK» *Even as you wrap yourself around her, you notice that she seems...bigger.*
- «HTBK» *INcreasingly so.*
- «Writefag4» (Do I make it to the bed at least?)
- «Sunfire» Reflexively, I hop up on the bed next to Write. "Of course, Master."
- «SpitFire» *sits up and looks around at the room* why is this happening?
- «HTBK» *By the time you do, however, you notice that everything is...much, much bigger. Ooooh dear.*
- «Egg_Discord» "I don't know! I wish I knew what was happening myself!"
- «SpitFire» (WHo was that aimed at HTBK?)
- «Globebutt» I assume I've composed myself by this time enough to have sat up and watched what's going on on the bed.
- «HTBK» *AS you climb up, you slide out of your pants; when you reach the bed, you are simply wearing your your huge, baggy shirt. And at Write, Spit.*
- «Puck» "Ewo, you seem sane, what can Spit and me do to not wind up like... this..." *motioning towards w4, egg, sun, and globe*
- «Writefag4» I just lay down. "Egg. I think we..." I pause. "I just want these two to be happy."
- «HTBK» *As you lay down, you realize that your hands are missing.*
- «HTBK» *And in their place are two bright green hooves.*
- «Ewo» "From what I've heard, just don't do pony-like things... And maybe I just seem sane because I'm the newest person here besides you two..."
- «SpitFire» *watches in disblief* did he just shirnk? no that can't be right... I'm seeing things
- «Egg_Discord» "Write, if we just let them do as they please, they'll be ponies forever." I suddenly notice that this nigga just went full pony
- «HTBK» http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7N3sG1x-Ck
- «Writefag4» I'm not really going to remove or react.
- «Writefag4» "Yeah. I know."
- «HTBK» *Egg, I have provided this video for your use.*
- «Globebutt» I flutter-hop onto the bed.
- «HTBK» *And there you are: one stallion two mares, forming some kind of weird cuddlepile. Roll fort for adorable.*
- «Egg_Discord» "...Ewo. I think I'm about to start panicking. If you think I'm going too far, feel free to slap me."
- «Globebutt» (Who?)
- «Sunfire» I squee when Master says he wants us to be happy.
- «Writefag4» (4 Its the only nubmer I roll for fort rolls.)
- «Puck» "Uhh, Spit if you're seeing things then so am I..."
- «SpitFire» * look at puck* I just got things turned around all I had to do was pass that test and the job was mine....but now this?!
- «HTBK» (I'm going to say--Write and Sun. Of course master wants to make you happy.*
- «Writefag4» (You can say Writefag. Take 4.)
- «Egg_Discord» And with that, I let loose a horrified scream, terrified at the fate I seem to have doomed us to.
- «Sunfire» (3)
- «Globebutt» My ears drop in pain at the screech. "Ow. Stop that!"
- «Sunfire» Scary noises! I try to bury my head under Master.
- «HTBK» *Write, you wrap your forelegs around your mare. She's got no place crying when you're this close.*
- «Puck» (egg, what PON are you at?)
- «Calc» left the chat.
- «Egg_Discord» "I can't help it! We're turning into ponies against our will! Or rather, we're starting to WANT to become ponies against our will!"
- «Egg_Discord» (All of them)
- «Puck» (Lol, meant what level of Pone)
- «Egg_Discord» (Oh, I mean 3.9)
- «Ewo» I nuzzle against Puck a little
- «Writefag4» "I know. Maybe we saved some others though. Right?"
- «Globebutt» I give Egg that sort of raised eyebrow look that's incredibly hard to describe succinctly. "I already am a pony."
- «Egg_Discord» "GAH! Am I the only one here who hasn't gone COMPLETELY INSANE?!"
- «Globebutt» Disgust marks my face. "Stop yelling already!"
- «SpitFire» "I'm not completely just yet, but I'm getting there"
- «Puck» *Leans into ewo slightly* "Okay, spitfire, all we gotta do is dye your hair back right? That's not so bad, maybe we can help these guys out too?"
- «Egg_Discord» At this point, I am reduced to a childish tantrum, banging on the floor while screaming, "I don't wanna be a POOOOOOOOOOONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!"
- «HTBK» *Sitting around here is going to reduce this entire place to a pony orgy by midday.*
- «Ewo» I cry a little
- «Globebutt» What do I roll to see if I bear the screaming and punch him in the face?
- «HTBK» *All present pones 6 or above, roll fort.*
- «Writefag4» I hop down and slap egg. Nevermind.
- «Sunfire» (7)
- «Writefag4» (10)
- «Puck» >da'www *puts arm around Ewo* "There there...."
- «Globebutt» (6)
- «SpitFire» Yah, but how, is there a cure, or something. I mean if something started it there has to be a way to reverse this
- «HTBK» *Smacksmacksmack*
- «Sunfire» (and 5 for PON)
- «HTBK» *And each smack is followed by a reflexively nuzzle, and a murmered assurance that being a pony isn't so bad.*
- «HTBK» *Sun, Globe, you don't need to roll PON. Write, you do*
- «Sunfire» (oh, okay?)
- «Writefag4» (2)
- «Sunfire» (do I stay at 9.1 then or)
- «Ewo» I sniffle, hugging Puck tighter "I don't know what's going on..."
- «Globebutt» Can we just say I charge him in the face before telling him to shut his whore mouth?
- «HTBK» (Stay, Sun.)
- «Globebutt» He's whining about dumb stuff and I already asked him to stop.
- «SpitFire» *has hit his limit and needs to scream* ENOUGH! I REFUSE TO BECOME A PONY AND YOU SHOULD ALL TOO. THere has be a way to fix this, now someone tell how it started so we can find the cure!!!
- «Egg_Discord» "Why is this happening to us? Why do we have to be the ones who turn into ponies?! What did we ever do to deserve this?!" I'm beyond panicked and am in full blown hysterics, crying and screaming
- «Globebutt» "You quit yelling, too!"
- «Sunfire» (I'm leaving in 58 mins)
- «Ewo» I cower a little more
- «HTBK» *that would be unladylike, Globe. Roll fort; if you pass, I'll knock a few points off.*
- «Sunfire» I cower and start to cry from the continued LOUD NOISES
- «Puck» "It'll be okay, hold on." *Gets up and tries to pull globe and egg apart*
- «Globebutt» (7)
- «HTBK» *Not today.
- «Writefag4» "Egg. Egg please. I want you to leave."
- «Globebutt» (Fuck.)
- «HTBK» *Egg, this is probably more terrifying because three ponies just told you that it was okay.*
- «HTBK» *I suggest not sticking around unless you all secretly want this.*
- «SpitFire» That mail man seemed to know something about this, has anyone asked why? *looking angerly around the room*
- «Puck» "hey yeah, who was he?"
- «Writefag4» "Take Jared and go. Keep the pills. I don't think they'd do us much good."
- «Sunfire» (PON spiral, once you get a couple high PONs it gets harder and harder to stop.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Write! I can't leave without you guys!"
- «Sunfire» "You're joining us?" I ask eagerly of Egg.
- «Puck» *stands between the two awkwardly*
- «Writefag4» "You can and will. Just lock the door behind you. If you find a cure... When you find a cure we'll still be here."
- «SpitFire» *stands up* we need to find that mail man, he might have the answer or be conected to it
- «Egg_Discord» I start tearing up, sad that this is how we part ways. "...Alright. Ewo, Puck, Spitfire! Grab your things! We're getting out of here!" I shout as I grab Jared
- «Puck» "Egg, maybe Spitfire and me could join you in looking for a way to treat this? You wanna come too Ewo?"
- «Puck» (uhh, right, that.)
- «HTBK» *The postman's postcard is still by the door.*
- «Ewo» I nod a little and get up.
- «HTBK» *Jitters, Quiet...why is Master breaking your herd?*
- «Globebutt» "...Master, what's going on?"
- «Globebutt» I hope that isn't what happens if /I/ yell too loud!
- «SpitFire» *runs over and gets the card* how did he know about the carrots and how did he know you guys were hear?
- «Writefag4» "Its okay." I murmer. "We're just going to wait here for them."
- «Sunfire» I look on the verge of tears at Master.
- «HTBK» *You can't let them go, can you? They're your friends...*
- «Puck» *makes mistake of looking over at w4 and company*
- «Puck» >all the broken hearts<
- «Globebutt» "...but why are they leaving?"
- «HTBK» *roll fort, Puck.*
- «Sunfire» "Yeah, why? I thought we were gonna stay together as one happy family..."
- «Puck» (4)
- «Egg_Discord» I leave with the other three, and, with Jared in my arms, I shut the door on them, upset that I have to leave three friends behind to this.
- «Writefag4» "Because... I'll tell you later."
- «Globebutt» ("O-hana.")
- «Puck» (Globe you bastard!)
- «Globebutt» ("...What?")
- «HTBK» (Ah, I loved that movie.)
- «SpitFire» *looks over a puck* we need to find this guy and fast and dude did you just change?
- «Globebutt» ("Ohana. It's a delicious blend. Grown in Hawaii. You should try it some time. I've got a powerful craving right now.")
- «Writefag4» I sniffle and look away. "Hey... You two want to watch some TV?"
- «Egg_Discord» (Lilo and stitch was a good one)
- «Puck» (I think a 4 matches my fort, GM?)
- «HTBK» (Yep. No changes.)
- «Puck» "Yeah, maybe we can get some info on him at the post office?"
- «Globebutt» "...Sure."
- «Egg_Discord» "DO either of you three have any form of transortation?"
- «Sunfire» "...yeah."
- «SpitFire» (forget that last part then)
- «Sunfire» I sniffle a bit.
- «Globebutt» I go locate my coffee before laying back down.
- «Writefag4» "I need to go use the bathroom I'll be back."
- «Puck» "I have a bike?"
- «Writefag4» (Since they didn't mention the camcorder I'll assume they left it.)
- «Egg_Discord» Tears running down my face, I whisper to myself, "Good bye, bros. You'll be here in my heart." I put the camera away in my coat pocket and turn to the others.
- «SpitFire» We still have that van from hell (it's falling apart) but we don't have any money for gas for it
- «Ewo» "Nope..."
- «Writefag4» (I was going to use it.)
- «Globebutt» (>van from hell)
- «Puck» "Oh god, that thing..."
- «Globebutt» (I thought that was in a German impound lot!)
- «Puck» (German?)
- «Globebutt» (Stuttgart!)
- «SpitFire» "no one wants it, not even for parts or junk"
- «Egg_Discord» "Wait, a van? That's perfect! I'll take anything I can get."
- «SpitFire» (ours not yours)
- «Puck» "well, can we scrape together some cash for gas?"
- «Puck» "I've got like $4.17 on me."
- «Writefag4» I pull of my ill fitting clothing and lay down on the bathroom floor for a moment.
- «Egg_Discord» "Of course. I managed to grab the last of the cash from my group of friends before I left, so that should be enough." How much money did Sun, Write, Globe, Jared and myself have combined?
- «SpitFire» I'll go get it *as turn to head for the door*
- «Sunfire» I look somberly at Jitters. "This sucks."
- «Ewo» "Uh, do you think there's enough food in there for them all?"
- «HTBK» *The tiles are cold underneath you, Write.*
- «HTBK» *What did you expect, though?*
- «Writefag4» I pull out a paper and pencil from my pocket and try to scribble a note.
- «Egg_Discord» "They should be good for a while. They'll be fine. They'll be fine. They'll be-"
- «Globebutt» (I usually carry a bit on me. Let's say... I had... 60? Spent a total of 20 to 30 at the store.)
- «HTBK» *How hard are you concentrating?*
- «Puck» "Okay, lemme run back to my apartment and get my bike!" *takes off jogging*
- «Writefag4» With my hooves. Its 3 words.
- «Globebutt» I look to Quiet Nights. "Yeah."
- «Egg_Discord» I can't stand it any longer. I fall to my knees, crying my heart out. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry I couldn't save you three! I'll do whatever I can to help the others for your sake!"
- «Ewo» I follow Puck, having gotten a little attached to him
- «HTBK» *see above, Write.*
- «Writefag4» (2)
- «SpitFire» I'll bring the wreck over see you back here puck *returns with the van that sounds like a harley, this thing is a wreck and puck*
- «HTBK» *You're not quite sure how, and the writing is unsteady--but you get it done.*
- «Egg_Discord» The tears just flow now. Three of my closest friends are turning into ponies, and it's all my fault that I didn't listen to a single one of them
- «Writefag4» I fold it in half and set it on my clothes. Won't really be wearing them anymore.
- «Sunfire» I rest my head down on the bed, just looking at Jitters in silence.
- «Puck» *notice Ewo* "Hey, so you said you got the letter this morning? Was it from the same mail guy?"
- «HTBK» *Shame to leave them, Egg. The letter remains in its place, Write.*
- «Ewo» "Yeah, it was. I didn't know there was anything... wrong with me at that point"
- «HTBK» *What was it, that made you quit? Did you see yourself like a cancer, to be cut away before you could spread the others?*
- «Writefag4» I go back out and lay on the floor next to the others. "So what was it that you wanted me to call you?"
- «HTBK» *Were you afraid to go on into the unknown?*
- «HTBK» *Who can say.*
- «Egg_Discord» I did it so I could save someone. If only I had listened to Globe, things could've gotten better.
- «Writefag4» (Actually it was 4 words. Hope that doesn't make a diffrence.)
- «Puck» "Yeah, When I woke up I guess my hair was different, but that was the extent of it..."
- «Egg_Discord» But now I have to leave my friend behind as they turn into one great big pony herd, and I can't do a single thing to stop it.
- «Egg_Discord» *friends
- «SpitFire» We have the van here, and yah my hair different too
- «Ewo» "I'm really glad to be out of there..."
- «HTBK» *And where are you going now, Egg?*
- «HTBK» *Into the clutches of the mailman, who's going to make you into his pet?*
- «SpitFire» (did you have a tail Puck?)
- «Puck» ( I don't think so?)
- «Sunfire» I look over to Master, my disposition cheering up a bit. "Whatever you want to call us, Master. But you know my name's Quiet Nights, silly." I frown a bit though after saying that.
- «Egg_Discord» Hearing this, I wipe away my tears and put on my sunglasses, pushing the voice out of my head. "Let's go." Is all I say as I carry Jared into the van.
- «Globebutt» (You can pone if you want to! You can leave your friends behind! 'Cuz your friends don't pone, and if they don't pone, I'll bet that they're still in their right minds!)
- «HTBK» *Or into somewhere beyond, into something that doesn't even have a name?*
- «Puck» (Ewo did though, yes?)
- «Ewo» (Yeah.)
- «HTBK» *This conspiracy is bigger than you, this much you know.*
- «HTBK» *Are you just hoping for a quick death...?*
- «Egg_Discord» Shut up! I can save them! There has to be a way!
- «Puck» (>morbid narrator)
- «Globebutt» I nod in agreement with Sunfire's sentiment.
- «SpitFire» Everyone in the van, left find that mail guy and fix this * as I glance around the room*
- «HTBK» *Without you to watch over them...*
- «HTBK» *The most you'll be able to do is find them a good home.*
- «Puck» (How far gone is Jared?)
- «HTBK» (farish.)
- «Egg_Discord» Write can do just fine for them! He'll take care of them while I'm gone! He's been like a brother to me! I know he won't let me down!
- «HTBK» *Maybe.*
- «HTBK» *But what would you do if two hot chicks showed up looking for a fuck?*
- «Puck» "alrighty then, lets get to the bottom of this!"
- «Writefag4» "Quiet Nights? That's a nice name." I turn to Globe tearing up a little. "Aand you?"
- «HTBK» *i mean, they call him "master". That can't be easy to resist.*
- «SpitFire» *gives the keys to puck* your a better driver then me
- «Puck» (Is this a bad time to mention the van is an old hippy van that's painted very similarly to the Mystery Machine?)
- «Egg_Discord» Write will make them resist! He's not gonna quit so easily.
- «Puck» *Gets behind the wheel*
- «Egg_Discord» (Not really)
- «SpitFire» (nice touch puck)
- «HTBK» *He already did. That's why he told you to go; he knew he couldn't hold out.*
- «Globebutt» "Anything but late for dinner." I smile. Master has enough on his mind.
- «Ewo» I get in the van, trying to get comfortable even with the tail.
- «HTBK» *When you come back and you find three ponies crowded about your leg, calling you "master"...*
- «HTBK» *You've only yourself to blame.
- «Egg_Discord» No! I tried to save them! I can still save them!"
- «Globebutt» has uploaded a new photo.
- «SpitFire» *passes some blankets around for poeple...er ponies to hide in*
- «Sunfire» (haha)
- «HTBK» *Sure you can, killer.*
- «Egg_Discord» (You are a bastard, HT!)
- «HTBK» *Sure you can.*
- «HTBK» (I know!)
- «Globebutt» (Damn straight.)
- «Globebutt» has deleted a photo.
- «HTBK» *And I WANT TO GET OFF MR. BONES WILD RIDE*
- «Puck» *If we're all in the van I start 'er up and head off for the the Post Office*
- «HTBK» *We don't always get what what we want.*
- «Writefag4» "Alright. I'm..." I bury my face between my hooves.
- «HTBK» *Your name is Writefag4. And this...thing...can't push it out of your mind yet.*
- «Egg_Discord» ..You're right. I might not be able to save them. But at least I can save Jared and the other three.
- «HTBK» *This being said, "Lime slush" sounds like an okay name...*
- «Writefag4» (No I couldn't bring myself to say I'm sorry out loud.)
- «Sunfire» I pat Master, trying to comfort him.
- «HTBK» *Maybe. Maybe not. We'll hope.*
- «HTBK» (I see.)
- «Globebutt» (I thought it was cherry!)
- «Egg_Discord» With the five of us working together, we can put an end to this.
- «Puck» (okay, just so we're all straight, who looks like what pony?)
- «Sunfire» (narcoleptic gray pone in pic 6)
- «HTBK» *Maybe. Maybe. The post office is waiting.*
- «Ewo» "Needless to say, I did not have these plans yesterday." I laugh.
- «Egg_Discord» (I'm turning into the first purple pony)
- «Globebutt» (Jitter Bean is the one with the coffee cup down there at the end.)
- «Globebutt» (Strawberry Freeze-- née Jared-- is the third from the top left.)
- «Egg_Discord» "...Guys." I speak up for the first time since getting in the van, Jared sleeping on the seat next to me.
- «SpitFire» (I'm not sure which I'm turnign into)
- «Writefag4» (I'm supposed to be the 4th one but refuse to acknowledged looking anything but 17 town there.)
- «SpitFire» (maybe the one that looks crazy at the bottom)
- «Puck» *unless the van deciedes to stop and admire the scenery we get to the mail station... Post-Haste!*
- «Egg_Discord» (What, is Break the Cutie your favorite game to play, HT?)
- «Writefag4» (Or at least color wise. Not that bright green and red.)
- «Ewo» (I don't know what I am yet, but she's got a blue mane and tail)
- «HTBK» (No, that's Deus Ex.)
- «HTBK» (But BTC is on up there.)
- «Egg_Discord» (touche)
- «Writefag4» I'm sobbing pretty hard right now.
- «Egg_Discord» "Guys, hear me out for a moment."
- «HTBK» *Are you afraid of the end, Write...? Afraid of losing yourself?*
- «Sunfire» My pats turn into a full-on hug of Master.
- «Globebutt» (Spitfire: You mean the one with the coffee cup? That's me.)
- «SpitFire» (oh)
- «HTBK» *Afraid of losing your name? Your identity?*
- «Egg_Discord» "If I end up acting like them... If you think I'm losing it... I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
- «SpitFire» (damn your evil HTBK)
- «Globebutt» "You're still Master to me, Master..."
- «Egg_Discord» "I don't care what you do. Punch me. Slap me. Kick me. You can even bite me, if you want. Just don't let me lose myself!"
- «Puck» "uhhh, okay man. But try to hold it together for a while, alright? I ain't big on violence..."\
- «HTBK» *You act like...that's the final outcome. You act like there's no hope, like there's...nothing but a future as somebody's pet. They call you Master--is it simply because that's easier than your name?*
- «Writefag4» *hic* "Thanks. It means. A lot." I fall back into sobbing.
- «SpitFire» we need to find that guy ASAP!
- «Egg_Discord» "And make sure you show me and Jared that video at least once a day. We can't forget our friends. We can't forget ourselves."
- «HTBK» *It's not like they're...mindless, Write.*
- «HTBK» *...At least, as far as you know.*
- «Sunfire» "What are we gonna do now, Master?"
- «Puck» *finally pull into the post office, van stops with a shudder*
- «Writefag4» (Shut up. Its my party and I'll cry if i want to.)
- «Globebutt» (Pomf.)
- «SpitFire» *jumps out and runs inside*
- «Puck» "Okay, who's coming inside with-- oh."
- «HTBK» *Puck. It's a small-town post office. Maybe 3 rooms total, and not much mail.*
- «Puck» *Jumps out and follows him*
- «Ewo» "I don't know if that guy was actually with the post office" I follow them both
- «HTBK» *What do you do?*
- «Writefag4» "Okay. Okay." Push my self up sinffling and redder eyed. "Lets watch some TV for now. Is that alright."
- «Puck» I'm behind Spitfire as we approach the door.
- «SpitFire» *screachs around for him or anything that could say who he is or was*
- «Egg_Discord» "I-I'll stay here. Can someone stay here with me? I don't want to be alone around here."
- «HTBK» *No sign of the man himself. Must still be out on his route.*
- «SpitFire» (I'm guessing all we find is carrots?)
- «Ewo» I pause and then go back to comfort Egg.
- «Puck» is anyone being the counter?
- «HTBK» *Of course, Puck.*
- «Egg_Discord» I'm visibly shivering, making it obvious just how terrified I am.
- «Globebutt» "Of course."
- «Sunfire» "Yeah... TV is alright, Master." I settle in next to him.
- «Globebutt» (I said earlier I wa slooking for my coffee. Did I find it?)
- «HTBK» *Yes, Globe. And the cuddlepile feels...good.*
- «HTBK» *Write? Unless you've given out, roll to cling to your sorrow.*
- «Ewo» "Are you... alright?"
- «SpitFire» *goes up to the counter* do you know where we would find this guy *describes him*
- «Puck» *approach counter* "Uh, hi, does anyone like <gives description > work here?"
- «Egg_Discord» "...Remember the postman I told you about earlier?" I say to Ewo.
- «Writefag4» (6)
- «Puck» (yeah, that, must type faster)
- «HTBK» *...The clerk raises one eyebrow.*
- «Ewo» "Yeah?"
- «HTBK» *Little by little, Write, your tears dry. It's happening.*
- «HTBK» *Roll PON.*
- «Puck» (>It's happening)
- «Writefag4» (2)
- «HTBK» *Back at the post office, the clerk just shrugs.*
- «Egg_Discord» "I've been having nightmares about him."
- «HTBK» "Nobody I know...sir."
- «Ewo» "O-oh... I'm sorry."
- «Writefag4» "So. Aren't you two scared at all?"
- «HTBK» *Did anyone take the postcard?*
- «Puck» "Uhh, have you had any bundles of carrots getting delivered? Cause we got these" *shows bundle* "earlier today."
- «Sunfire» "I'm with Master. I think that should answer that." I smile.
- «HTBK» *The clerk shakes her head no.*
- «Globebutt» "Only about running out of coffee." I open the bag yet again. "Want some?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Every time I dream, it's the same thing. He turns me into a pony, and I try to fight back and escape, but no matter what I try, I can't get away or stop the changes. He just keeps petting me, calling me a good girl and, and..."
- «HTBK» "Nothing of the sort."
- «HTBK» *Anybody at all?*
- «Egg_Discord» (Ewo had it)
- «HTBK» (Very good.)
- «SpitFire» do you know where that deleiver guy would be now?
- «HTBK» (Did anyone read it?)
- «Puck» "How about this card, look familiar?" *shows card*
- «Writefag4» "I'm scared."
- «HTBK» "I don't even know who that is, sir."
- «HTBK» *The clerk scrutinizes it carefully.*
- «Ewo» I hug Egg.
- «HTBK» "I think you can buy those at city hall?"
- «Globebutt» "About what?"
- «SpitFire» *looks at puck* we need to leave now!
- «Writefag4» "About forgetting."
- «SpitFire» *heads back to the van*
- «Puck» "Right, thanks for your help." *waves to clerk as we leave*
- «Egg_Discord» I look at Ewo with quivering eyes, then cry into her arms.
- «Globebutt» Do I even know what he'd be scared to forget?
- «SpitFire» He knew where we were, and where they were, he's watching us
- «Sunfire» Or me, for that matter.
- «HTBK» Master's going to forget...something. something important about his past.
- «SpitFire» *jumps back in the van*
- «Ewo» I stroke Egg a little bit
- «HTBK» *You could remember more if you tried, but...shouldn't your thoughts be on him?*
- «Globebutt» But my thoughts ARE on Master! What's making him so scared? I want to make him feel better!
- «Writefag4» "My name. My life. Heck. If I go far enough I might forget about you two."
- «Puck» *starts engine* "yeah, must have been stalking us... where to now, city hall?"
- «HTBK» *Master's going to forget his name, and you! *That* cannot be allowed to happen.*
- «SpitFire» no harm
- «HTBK» *Ewo, when you say "Stroke", what do you mean?"
- «Globebutt» My eyes grow wide with horror.
- «Ewo» Like petting I guess
- «Sunfire» "Hey! You can't forget about us! You need to be our Master!"
- «Egg_Discord» (Bite your tongue, Ewo)
- «HTBK» *Ha ha ha.*
- «HTBK» *HA HA HA!*
- «Puck» As we drive off I glance in the rear-view, how you all holding up?
- «HTBK» *HA HA HA HA HA!*
- «Egg_Discord» (You mother fucker. You've cursed me)
- «SpitFire» and we need to watch for him
- «Ewo» ( :3c )
- «HTBK» *It sends shudders down your spine, Egg. Crying into her arms, as she pets you...just like a good girl. roll Fort.*
- «SpitFire» (we are looking for that guy as we drive HTBK)
- «Egg_Discord» (shit! 8! There's no saving me this time!)
- «HTBK» (Roll PON.)
- «Puck» "Guys, you all okay back there?"
- «Egg_Discord» (2)
- «SpitFire» (egg are you in the van?)
- «Writefag4» "Please. Stop calling me that. Just. Just call me Write for now okay? Maybe it'll help me remember."
- «Puck» (yeah)
- «HTBK» (That's enough.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Of course I am)
- «Sunfire» (Honestly the game I would compare this the most to is Paranoia.)
- «SpitFire» *turns around and checks on them*
- «Ewo» "I'm okay"
- «HTBK» *Egg, you shudder...and a gently prickling spreads all over your skin, as your sobs rise by an octave or two.*
- «HTBK» *You don't even need to look to know what's growing in.*
- «Sunfire» "Yes, Ma-Write. If you wish to be called that I will."
- «Globebutt» "Whatever you want, M... Wr..Write."
- «SpitFire» "hang in there we still have some clues to track"
- «HTBK» *Write.*
- «Writefag4» "Thanks you two."
- «Egg_Discord» "Oh no. Guys! My privates! They're gone!" I shove Ewo off of me, frightened that more changes will occur
- «HTBK» *Jitters, Quiet...why did calling him "Write" feel...familiar?*
- «HTBK» *More changes is right. Little by little your skin discolors, as a carpet of lavender fur grows over you.*
- «HTBK» *Pets, roll fort.*
- «Globebutt» I don't know, voice-in-my-head! It's freaky weird. Is it too much coffee or not enough?
- «Writefag4» "Maybe we'll get through this. You know what I said yesterday?"
- «Puck» (egg, are you wearing pants?)
- «Sunfire» (6)
- «Egg_Discord» I hear my own voice and I cover my mouth in shock, only to see fur growing all over me
- «Egg_Discord» (Of course I am)
- «Globebutt» (3.)
- «Puck» (just curious)
- «SpitFire» *feel a bit of shock wash over me from hearing that* have to keep it together...
- «Writefag4» "When I was talking to you Globe. I said I'd be okay with the hair and eye colors. Now."
- «Globebutt» (Not like he'd have any skirts.)
- «HTBK» *Sun, that's nothing more than a strange half-familiarity. But Jitters, something about calling him Write seems so...familiar. Is this what he was forgetting?*
- «Writefag4» "I take it all back. I'd rather just be back to my old boring brown haired self."
- «HTBK» *Ehh. Within seconds, you're fully-furred--and rocked by a *splitting* headache.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Oh, god! My head hurts! What's happening now?!
- «HTBK» *...Nothing. It subsides within a few seconds, but your teeth feel...flat.*
- «Ewo» I curl up in the fetal position
- «Puck» * glancing back in rear-view more* "Hey, hold on, we're almost there." *van hits rough patch of road*
- «SpitFire» *bounces in the seat* just one more turn after this guys
- «Sunfire» I sigh. "Mas--oops sorry, Write. What are you saying?"
- «Globebutt» "I... I... think I unferstand?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Ugh! My teeth feel weird!" Before I lose it, I take a few deep breaths. "Okay! Okay. I'm fine. I'm gonna be fine."
- «Puck» We pull into the lot, and I try to take it easy with the turns.
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright, guys. What's going on?"
- «Puck» *van stops, engine off*
- «HTBK» *The city hall--all two, unassuming stories of it--stand before you.*
- «Puck» "we're checking out where we think that guy bought the post cards"
- «SpitFire» the next place we can check *as I jump out again and head inside*
- «HTBK» *Did anyone read the text?*
- «Puck» *double take at Egg* "Hey, whoa, you alright?"
- «Egg_Discord» "I'm alright! I'm coming with you!" I say as I hop from the van, following them inside.
- «Puck» (we read the one that me and Spitfire got)
- «SpitFire» *stops in his tracks* this could be a problem
- «Ewo» I follow everyone
- «Puck» "uhh, Egg..."
- «Writefag4» "Its okay." I slump back down.
- «Globebutt» (Write?)
- «Writefag4» (Yeah not coming up with any brilliantly sage things to say.)
- «HTBK» *It might be a good idea to read the next one.*
- «Globebutt» (Not even, "Woah. Wait. What?" or "You understand?")
- «Puck» "Dude, you're purple."
- «Egg_Discord» "You think I didn't realize that?!"
- «Puck» (also, I think Spit has the most recently delivered card?)
- «Writefag4» "Huh? So do you remember something?"
- «Puck» *hold up hands defensively* "Just saying"
- «SpitFire» *passes the card to Puck* there must be a listing for gift shops
- «Egg_Discord» "Whatever! I'm coming in with you! My friends are losing their minds, and it's my fault that we didn't get a cure! I'm helping you guys whether you like it or not!"
- «Puck» *checks card*
- «Puck» "Okay, that's fine, the more the merrier, just maybe, like, stick to the back?"
- «SpitFire» Fine, lets go!
- «HTBK» *The back says "Basement 2. Password: Centaur."*
- «Puck» "Um, guys, take a look at this...." *shares*
- «Egg_Discord» "Given what's been going on, that password makes total sense."
- «Globebutt» "I think I might."
- «Sunfire» I doze off next to Write.
- «Sunfire» (Gonna go.)
- «SpitFire» *leads them in side*
- «HTBK» (G'night.)
- «SpitFire» (good night Sun)
- «Egg_Discord» (Night)
- «Sunfire» (Night)
- «Writefag4» "Do you want to talk about it? It might help. It'll at least probably make me feel better."
- «Globebutt» (Night, Sun!)
- «Puck» (night)
- «HTBK» *You dream of scratcches on your ears, and fingers in your mane...*
- «HTBK» *Everything you deserve.*
- «Sunfire» (fhedfshf)
- «Puck» (^)
- «Globebutt» (roll fort irl)
- «Egg_Discord» I'd put on my jacket, hat and sunglasses before we left the car. Let's go bust some asses!
- «Puck» (my irl d10 gave me a 5...)
- «HTBK» *What the GM never told anyone is that he read Zephyr and said "Challenge accepted".*
- «SpitFire» (O.O we are screwed)
- «Puck» *We head inside after SpitFire*
- «Egg_Discord» (Y U do this?)
- «Globebutt» (Are you're sure you're going into veterinary sciences, then? Not nanotechnologies?)
- «HTBK» *Egg, you look a bit like someone from the Blue Lady Group.*
- «SpitFire» *opens the door to the basement* ready?
- «Puck» (I'm actually okay with this)
- «» ZephyrWF(Son, I am proud.)
- «Ewo» "I... don't know"
- «HTBK» (Have you ever read "The Island of Dr. Moreau"? It's kinda like that.)
- «Egg_Discord» Shut the fuck up, voice. I don't want to hear it from you.
- «Egg_Discord» "You bet I'm ready!"
- «SpitFire» (didn't that end with most of them killing each other and the creator?)
- «Globebutt» "I... I think I do." I'm not quite sure what I /am/ remembering, though.
- «HTBK» (Emphasis on *kinda*.)
- «Puck» "It'll be okay Ewo, just stick with the group."
- «SpitFire» (eep!)
- «HTBK» *It's master's...name? Something you used to call him, back before...before...was there ever a time when he wasn't Master?*
- «Ewo» "I suppose... I'm ready..."
- «Globebutt» "Calling you... Write... felt right. I've done it before."
- «SpitFire» *opens the door and head in* here we go!
- «Writefag4» "Before yesterday I don't think you ever did. You remember the apartment right?"
- «Egg_Discord» I follow in after Spit
- «Writefag4» (I mean house.)
- «Ewo» I follow behind Puck
- «HTBK» *Jitters, you and master lived...somewhere. Somewhere that wasn't here...*
- «SpitFire» (what do we find down there?)
- «Globebutt» I should hope so! This place is a dump!
- «Sunfire» left the chat.
- «Globebutt» "...Tell me about it."
- «HTBK» *The basement of city hall is, big surprise, dusty and musty and dry. There are four chambers in the far side of the room, intended for the storage of convicts in the past and bric-a-brac in the present. *
- «Globebutt» (No coffee machine, either. I'd be ashamed to call this place "home".)
- «Puck» (HT is doing an awfully good job at juggling the split party, it's a dang hard GMing skill to get down.)
- «Globebutt» (Don't I know it.)
- «Ewo» "I-I really don't have a good feeling about this."
- «HTBK» (I've had shitloads and shitloads and shitloads of practice.*
- «Egg_Discord» "What on earth is this place?" I wonder out loud.
- «Globebutt» (Mister 30-people-at-a-time.)
- «HTBK» *it appears to be the basement, Egg.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Don't worry, Ewo. We'll be just fine. I promise."
- «HTBK» (Yeah, that's the practice I had.)
- «Writefag4» "It was a real fixer upper but we agreed to split it 4 ways so we got it for practically nothing.
- «Puck» "Looks like a dump..."
- «SpitFire» *feels a bit of fear run though, but presses on*
- «Globebutt» "Was it bigger than here?" I loosely gesture toward the motel room.
- «Writefag4» Took a long time to get a lot of the rooms livable. There was a good month where we all just slept in sleeping bags in the living room.
- «Puck» "Alright stay close everyone..." *looks for the room the postcard mentioned*
- «SpitFire» *sreaches the place for anything that could help or give us a clue*
- «Egg_Discord» At this point, I'm filled with too much determination to save my friends to even understand the concept of fear. I press on, ready to fight for my friends or die trying.
- «Writefag4» "Yeah. Big enough for 4 bachelors."
- «Ewo» I almost hide behind Puck
- «HTBK» *Beyond the sub-chambers at the far end, there's a whole bunch of nothing: the entire thing has been arranged into one chamber, with some sections cordoned off with coruplast walls.*
- «Puck» I'm certainly nervous, I feel to make sure my whittling knife is still in my back pocket.
- «Globebutt» "...How many mares?"
- «Puck» (how light is it down here, can we see alright?)
- «HTBK» *Your head stings, Jitters. Remembering...it feels...*wrong*.*
- «SpitFire» *looks in and tries to hold it together* this must be the place
- «HTBK» *You can kinda-sorta-maybe see, Puck.*
- «Writefag4» "No mare. No animals at all actually. I was allergic to cats. Jared was alergic to dogs and nobody wanted to deal with a bird making noise all day."
- «Globebutt» (My head stings? OhyippeeI'mgrowingahornIgunnabeanalicornhurray!)
- «Egg_Discord» "Search for an off-color brick. That's how Globe and I found the labs hidden beneath Dark Horse Brewery!"
- «HTBK» (Stop being wrong, Jitters.)
- «Puck» "Really? Okay then..." *squints at sections of wall*
- «Globebutt» "...Then where did I live?"
- «HTBK» *In a place with lighting as shitty as this, good luck telling the difference.*
- «Egg_Discord» Good thing I still have the flashlight from last night.
- «SpitFire» *sreaches more* there has to be something here...
- «Writefag4» "The room next to mine. As a human."
- «Puck» *checks the doors to the sub chambers with Ewo*
- «Globebutt» I blink a couple times.
- «Egg_Discord» I turn on the flashlight to help make seeing easier
- «Writefag4» "I know you don't really belive me but we were all human back then."
- «Puck» "Can you see anything down here?"
- «HTBK» *humans...hu...you remember humans. Kind of. They were...part of your herd? They weren't Master, so you had a hard time paying attention to them...*
- «Globebutt» I look back behind me and flap my wings a few times. I look back to M- Write.
- «SpitFire» "nothing yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't"
- «Globebutt» "Who else was there?"
- «Ewo» "U-um... maybe it has to do with the password..."
- «Writefag4» "Still though. It was pretty hard to be in a house of only guys. I was pretty much the only one who knew how to cook at first. And there was that whole issue with nobody bothering to clean up.
- «SpitFire» "try saying it out loud?"
- «Globebutt» s/M-/M--. brb sudoku
- «Puck» "Oh, yeah-" *clears throat* "Centaur!"
- «HTBK» *The bricks have been discolored by the years, Egg. Could be any o--*
- «Puck» (oh my, thats ominous...)
- «Globebutt» (i guess that's the power word kill)
- «HTBK» *It is at this point that a strange, half-audible ringing echoes around the cell. It hovers at the edge of perception--it is, if such a thing is possible, an audible silence. It is split moments later by the sound of stone shifting against stone: of ancient bricks forced to life against their will...*
- «SpitFire» *moves back to the crew and waits*
- «Egg_Discord» I stare intently at the moving wall, ready for anything.
- «SpitFire» "this is different" *as I shiver*
- «Writefag4» "I talked with you and we talked with the other two. We needed some ground rules or we were going to turn into bears or something.
- «Egg_Discord» "Brick buttons, voice commands. Is there any Sci-fi security system these guys HAVEN'T used?"
- «HTBK» *Turn into...bears? You've turned into something, Jitters. It hurts your head to think...you just want to tuck yourself under master's leg until the pain stops...*
- «Puck» "No kidding... You doing okay Ewo?"
- «Ewo» "I-i um... kinda..."
- «Globebutt» "...My head hurts. This is a lot." I rub my temples. "I... need something."
- «HTBK» *Then, the strangest thing becomes visible: a crack of light shines through two of the bricks, near the center. It is joined seconds later by many more that plunge the basement into a curious orange radiance.*
- «HTBK» *You need coffee. you need belly rubs. You need master inside you. you need to remember...*
- «Puck» (dem priorities...)
- «Writefag4» I took up most of the slack with cooking for a while. Until you guys got tired of it anyway. Something about not wanting to eat Curry 3 times a week."
- «Globebutt» How about aspirin?
- «Writefag4» "Something wrong?"
- «SpitFire» *nevously moves forward towards it*
- «HTBK» *the light in the basement only grows with the passing of seconds--and then, just like that, one of the bricks is pulled away, and falls into nothingness.*
- «Egg_Discord» I cover my eyes at the sudden blast of light that shines in.
- «HTBK» *Aspirin is second-rate.*
- «Globebutt» I lay my head down. "Enough. That's... I don't think I can..." I sigh and cover my head with my hooves.
- «Globebutt» Any port in a storm, mental voice!
- «Puck» I take a moment to let my eyes adjust, then try to inspect the brickwork (doorway now?)
- «HTBK» *The light is joined by another intrustion, moments later: the sound of many people in one place. The sound of people shouting, the sounds of children playing, the sounds of water rushing and women crying and men trading blows and coin. The sounds grow louder, as the wall falls away brick by brick. It is easy to imagine some invisible hand, pulling the entire thing apart--!*
- «Globebutt» (I think I need something, too... I need more room in my fridge... I'll take out a bottle of Celestia piss.)
- «Writefag4» "Don't think you can what?"
- «Puck» *Grab Ewo*
- «Puck» "eep!"
- «Ewo» I hold Puck tight
- «Puck» (all the bravery!)
- «SpitFire» *moves back to the group* this
- «HTBK» *shh, shh. Be a good girl, Jitters. Master is here, he wouldn't want you hurting yourself.*
- «SpitFire» ...
- «Egg_Discord» I duck out of the view of the falling bricks, to avoid being seen by... whoever's on the other side
- «Globebutt» I wordlessly groan in response.
- «Egg_Discord» (Puckulas, what do your elf eyes see?)
- «HTBK» *Easier said than done, Egg! For with the sound of a great pile of stones being upset, the wall falls away altogether, and the light slowly fades--to reveal a bustling city street, of Dickensian storefronts and golden cobblestone.*
- «HTBK» *What.
- «HTBK» *The.*
- «HTBK» *Fuck.*
- «Writefag4» I hop off the bed. "I'll see if I can get you some water."
- «SpitFire» *stands there stunted, what, just happened?*
- «Puck» "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore..."
- «Egg_Discord» I don't know what to say as I see what lies before me. Something's not right here.
- «Globebutt» I continue to lay on the bed, just trying to make sense of it all.
- «HTBK» *God dammit, Puck. Stop stealing the GM's notes.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Wait, guys. I don't like the look of this. Something feels off."
- «SpitFire» I think the others should be here to see this...
- «HTBK» *You are not in Kansas anymore.*
- «Puck» (heheheheheeee, GM-hivemind not my fault)
- «HTBK» *And gee, Egg, why would a fucking *basement turning into a street you've never seen before* be weird?*
- «SpitFire» (lol)
- «Writefag4» I take stock of the room. Yeah theres some cups on the table and some disgusting water in the sink. But I don't think I could reach either. I dig around in the stuff left behind to see if I can find a water bottle.
- «HTBK» *There's a few left about the place, Write.*
- «Ewo» I step foward and walk near the street.
- «SpitFire» *looks around at this and wants to cry* what the hell is this...?!
- «Egg_Discord» Even for a mysterious street from nowhere, this feels suspicious.
- «Puck» *I slowly step towards the street, cautious.*
- «Writefag4» I grab one in my mouth and hop up on the bed.
- «Globebutt» (There were water bottles. They were packed with my stuff.)
- «Puck» "This is like something out of old timey brit-town..."
- «Globebutt» (I ha-- had a habit of leaving partials lie around.)
- «Writefag4» "Hrph." I try to twist the cap open. First with my hooves then with my teeth.
- «Puck» I look up out of the hole in the wall, towards where I dearly hope to not see a sky.
- «SpitFire» *pulls my self together one more time and moves in with puck*
- «SpitFire» (HTBK how long have you been waiting to crack this out? )
- «Ewo» I look up and down the street.
- «HTBK» *It's a street, that stretches away from you and up a hill. The cobblestones shine with a strange luminescence, while the faded red rooftops (the buildings are at most three stories) lend the place a vaguely oriental air. As far as you can see, the place is filled with stores, and bars, and inns! And the people are just as strange, for all about you find humans, and ponies--the ponies often in collars and lead about on leashes, but others are go in the garb of the gentry; and above it all there is a vaulted roof of brick and stone. Who can say how far it goes on for...?*
- «HTBK» (A while, Spit.)
- «Puck» *looks back at Ewo and Egg, then waves them forward*
- «Ewo» "I... I really don't like this."
- «SpitFire» we don't have a choice, this is connect what's happening, and maybe the only way to fix it *as I move forward*
- «Writefag4» "Come on." I try to work the bottle cap off.
- «Egg_Discord» "Ewo's right. We better get out of here."
- «HTBK» *The GM has embraced his roots as a fantasy author. Write, it's...fortunately, very easy to get the bottle open.*
- «Puck» "Well it doesn't look like it's gonna eat us..."
- «Puck» "but it is sketchy, that's for sure."
- «Egg_Discord» "Think about it, guys. Why would we get postcards that lead us to this place where ponies are pets for no reason?"
- «Writefag4» "Here. Drink some of this. All that coffee is probably catching up with you."
- «Puck» (did we see any dapper ponies?)
- «Egg_Discord» "We need to leave! It's a trap!"
- «Writefag4» I slowly try to hand the bottle over. Its a bit difficult with hooves.
- «HTBK» (Yes, in fact. several dapper ponies.)
- «Globebutt» (Read as diaper ponies. God damn fucking internet.)
- «HTBK» (And some who just went naked. Because fuck the god dammit Globe.)
- «Puck» >am torn between leaving and exploring
- «Writefag4» (Monacle and top hats?)
- «SpitFire» "yah it's a trap, but so is leaving, where we know what will happen"
- «Ewo» "I really... really don't think this is going to end with me not being on one of those leashes..."
- «Puck» *teeter back and forth, looking between street and Ewo / Egg*
- «HTBK» (Monacle and top hat and thing.)
- «HTBK» (And suits.)
- «SpitFire» Lets go back and get the others, or tell them waht we know
- «SpitFire» and found
- «Globebutt» I look up and take the water from Writefag.
- «Ewo» I start walking back
- «SpitFire» *turns and heads back*
- «Egg_Discord» I start walking away, ready for SOMETHING to stand in our way.
- «Writefag4» "Mind if I keep going? It feels kind of good to remember while I still can."
- «SpitFire» (evil DM or eviler DM)
- «HTBK» *The door remains where it is.*
- «HTBK» *No fuss, no muss.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Let's make a dash for it! RUN!"
- «Puck» *Start to follow, bringing up the rear, pause, turn back, and sprint back through the doorway.* "I'll catch up with you later!"
- «SpitFire» *bolts for the van
- «HTBK» *puck*
- «HTBK» *What r u doin*
- «HTBK» *Puck*
- «Puck» (Cause I love you HT)
- «Globebutt» I drink.
- «HTBK» *Stahp*
- «SpitFire» *turns and goes back for puck*
- «Egg_Discord» "PUCK! NO!" I grab his collar.
- «HTBK» *It's...okay, Globe. Coffee would be better.*
- «» Typhoon joined the chat.
- «Egg_Discord» "YOU CAN'T GO BACK! YOU MIGHT NEVER COME OUT IF YOU DO!"
- «Puck» I'm running for it.
- «HTBK» *What collar?*
- «Egg_Discord» His shirt collar, of course
- «Puck» (oh)
- «SpitFire» *chases him down and jumps puck* we have to get to the others
- «Globebutt» "I guess you can go on."
- «HTBK» *ENTIRE TEAM MAKES ATHLETICS ROLL*
- «SpitFire» (D10?)
- «Ewo» (3)
- «Egg_Discord» (1. IS THAT ENOUGH?!)
- «Puck» (I was about to ask)
- «Globebutt» (Assume d10.)
- «Puck» (6)
- «SpitFire» (9)
- «Puck» (drat)
- «HTBK» (Comparing...)
- «Writefag4» "Where was I? Yeah. Apparently you guys don't love curry as much as I do. So eventually you conspired to each learn a dish or two so I wouldn't be cooking every night.
- «HTBK» *Your head prickles again, Write. Why wouldn't master be giving you your hay and apples like he always did?*
- «SpitFire» (you just wanted to wreck things didn't you puck)
- «Writefag4» Of course that meant I had to do some of the cleaning as well then. Wasn't too keen on that. I would have rather kept cooking curry forever each batch spicier than the last.
- «Puck» (I wanted to go explore Poniolpolis)
- «Globebutt» (You mean Globe or Write there?)
- «HTBK» (Globe. Whoops.)
- «SpitFire» (we can do that next )
- «Egg_Discord» (You've doomed us all! How dare you deny me my revenge!)
- «HTBK» *Puck, Egg catches your shirt collar, leading to a very uncomfortable compression of the trachea. Also, you've been grabbed.*
- «Puck» *gaak* "It's a whole secret underground town! Where's your sense of adventure?!" *as I assume I'm being drug off*
- «Globebutt» Well, the answer there's obvious; we'd be /sharing/! And preparation can make food taste much better.
- «SpitFire» *drags puck out* we will come back later but we need the others first
- «HTBK» *The word you want is "Dragged"*
- «Writefag4» "I think you made a pretty decent pizza right? I had to show you how to make the dough but once you got the basic recipie down you were always more dilligent at keeping an eye on it, making sure you didn't forget the dough in the oven.
- «Puck» (pah!)
- «Puck» (they were using the highly toxic drug "brute force")
- «Writefag4» "Whenever I make it we usually end up with some pizza bread hybrid. Tasty but chewy.
- «SpitFire» (what ever works right)
- «Puck» (lol, yep)
- «Globebutt» I try to remember pizzas.
- «Ewo» I walk to the van, getting inside.
- «Egg_Discord» I help drag Puck as well. "We're not coming back here until we've found a way to save everyone, got it?"
- «Globebutt» (I also run to the lobby/kitchenette to put in some popcorn.)
- «Ewo» (Remembering things should be a roll of some kind)
- «Writefag4» Of course it just opened a new can of worms where we'd fight over toppings.
- «Puck» *grumble* "yeah, makes sense" I'll sit in the back next to jared or something.
- «SpitFire» *pulls puck back with the crew to the van and puts him in* and then drives us all back to the motel*
- «HTBK» *The GM is parched. I take 30 seconds.*
- «Puck» (More Pepsi!)
- «Writefag4» 4 people and we all like completely different things on it.
- «Egg_Discord» "I'll keep an eye on you, Puck."
- «HTBK» (You spelled "coke" wrong.)
- «Writefag4» "I always liked pineapple and extra cheese."
- «Puck» (Oh, so I did...)
- «Puck» (More Dr. Pepper!)
- «Puck» (dangit, fingers!)
- «Globebutt» (Fingers. Who needs 'em?)
- «Puck» (^mah man right here)
- «Globebutt» (What do I remember about pizza? Do I feel a burning hatred for pineapple? Or do I not remember at all?)
- «Ewo» (If you have a can, it's real easy to open it with your teeth ^^)
- «SpitFire» (which one was I becoming HTBK?)
- «Puck» (So I believe we're on our way back?)
- «SpitFire» (yes)
- «Puck» (I know yours had magenta hair)
- «Puck» Dunno if we've gotten pictures yet, might be waiting to surprise us)
- «Globebutt» ("Was"? What happened?)
- «Puck» (he didn't mean that tense shift and you know it!)
- «SpitFire» (lol)
- «SpitFire» (I'm going to have to go soon, it's going for 1 am for me)
- «Puck» (oh man, but then who will help restrain me from all my sudden impulses?)
- «Puck» (also, I think we can be back at the motel by now)
- «SpitFire» (will get back intime for the orgy don't worry )
- «Ewo» I stay in the back of the van, deep in thought.
- «Puck» has uploaded a new photo.
- «Globebutt» ++
- «SpitFire» (lol)
- «Puck» has deleted a photo.
- «Puck» (HT, did you explode from all that Mr. Pibb?)
- «Globebutt» (ht best be writin' or makin' one mean coke)
- «Puck» (I'm actually kinda worried, GM's are only ever up to no good when they prepare like this.)
- «Egg_Discord» We return to the motel. I get out and hurry towards the room, knocking on the door.
- «Globebutt» (Sometimes they're up to gratuitous research.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Write! It's me, Egg! Don't open the door. Just talk to me with the door shut, alright?"
- «Puck» I'll stay in the van, that room was a tad overwhelming.
- «SpitFire» *jumps out with the keys and heads inside while making sure puck follows(
- «Puck» Dangit
- «SpitFire» (nice try)
- «HTBK» *The GM encountered unforeseen difficulties. He has now returned.*
- «Globebutt» (Coke errywhere?)
- «Egg_Discord» As long as I can help it, I won't allow anyone else to suffer.
- «Puck» (it was all that Dr. Dynamite)
- «HTBK» (No. More along the lines of sick family members needing me.*
- «Puck» (Legit.)
- «Globebutt» (Fun.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Sorry your family has sick folks.)
- «Writefag4» "Egg? You're back? Did you find a cure?"
- «HTBK» (The danger has since passed. Moving right along.)
- «Writefag4» I hop down off the bed again and trot to the door.
- «Egg_Discord» "No. We found something even worse, though."
- «Globebutt» ("Well, I hope you didn't bring it back!")
- «Puck» (>even worse then a cure!)
- «Writefag4» "Then why are you back here?"
- «SpitFire» *pulls puck in and lets other back in too*
- «SpitFire» You need to see this, that's why
- «Egg_Discord» (You all know what I meant)
- «Globebutt» (Oh hell, no.)
- «Writefag4» My heart sinks. I thought we were through this.
- «Egg_Discord» "There's an entire street under city hall where people were walking around with pet ponies on leashes. I can only guess that this is why we've been changed!"
- «Puck» "It was an entire underground town, or city or something, and there were ponies, and people, and some had top hats-" *babbles for a while*
- «Egg_Discord» "Write, can you think of ANYTHING from the past two nights that seemed off? Anything we haven't looked into yet?"
- «Writefag4» (Can I? I think I was passed out fairly early.)
- «SpitFire» *stops and thinks for a min* they are recuiting... ?
- «Globebutt» (Can this all be heard from the bed?)
- «HTBK» (I think so.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Remember that the door is shut and I'm not gonna allow anyone to open it)
- «HTBK» (Guess not.)
- «HTBK» *It would be easy to dismiss every single one of these people as batshit insane.*
- «SpitFire» (we did enter the room I thought)
- «HTBK» *But, you know...you were human 24 hours ago.*
- «Globebutt» (Nope.)
- «Puck» (could probably tell people were talking though)
- «Egg_Discord» Nope, we're right outside the door
- «Globebutt» (Doubtlessly.)
- «Writefag4» (Write was pretty clear to lock the door.)
- «Puck» (Write is now referring to his character in the third person)
- «SpitFire» *knocks on the door* we need in
- «Puck» (gotta go though egg first)
- «Egg_Discord» "No, Spitfire! No one's going in or out!"
- «Writefag4» "Then why are you here?"
- «SpitFire» *looks at egg confused*
- «Puck» "Paranoia doesn't need a reason."
- «HTBK» *You need your ears scratched, Write...*
- «Egg_Discord» "I wanted to see if maybe you knew anything I didn't. Think back, Write. Is there ANYTHING we forgot to check?"
- «Puck» (could our talent stat double and like, intelligence?)
- «Puck» *as intelligence
- «HTBK» (Why would you need to roll intelligence?)
- «Egg_Discord» "I'm not paranoid. I've been through this scenario before! If we open it up, we'll be drawn into that room and never come out!"
- «Puck» (as in, for knowledge ___ checks)
- «Writefag4» (I can't really think of anything?)
- «Writefag4» "Then if you won't I will."
- «HTBK» (I can't envision that someone would need that in this context...)
- «Egg_Discord» I'm holding the door shut, well aware that Write might try to open the door
- «Puck» "I didn't say that paranoia was bad!"
- «Writefag4» (Actually I thought he was talking about the other world through the door. Nevermind.)
- «Globebutt» (If it seems sketchy, just ask the DM if you need to roll anything.)
- «Puck» (good plan)
- «Egg_Discord» "What about Globe or Sun? DO they remember anything at all?"
- «Writefag4» "Look. I can't think of anything. We drank, we partied, someone called a stripper, I passed out. The end.
- «Puck» "Well then, Write, do you want to come with us?" *to egg* "Do we want them with us actually?"
- «Egg_Discord» "There has to be something, anything that ca-" Lightbulb.
- «Globebutt» (Lovely pony, little lightbulb butt.)
- «HTBK» *Globe...why does hearing that name sound so OW OW OW--*
- «Egg_Discord» "Of course! The stripper! Do you remember the number we called the stripper on? What about a name?"
- «Globebutt» (Wait, I can hear them through the door from all the way over here?)
- «Writefag4» "I thought one of you guys called her."
- «Writefag4» (I'm assuming so.)
- «SpitFire» "redailing on your phone might do it?"
- «Puck» (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_lJ2bGltE)
- «HTBK» (Just throwing that in there to amuse myself.)
- «HTBK» *Strangely enough, everyone recalls wondering if everyone else hired her.*
- «Egg_Discord» I don't remember calling her either. "Well, do you remember her name at least?"
- «SpitFire» "call her back to the room, and then we can get some answer?"
- «Writefag4» "What makes you think this is any diffrent from the Dark Horse beer."
- «Writefag4» "Maybe the party has nothing to do with it."
- «Puck» "Uhh, Spits, did we do anything along those lines this weekend?"
- «Ewo» I finally come out of the van to try to join everybody
- «SpitFire» YOu sure Puck, I can't really remember
- «Egg_Discord» "Because I don't think that stripper was a stripper at all! Besides, it all makes sense now! The Brewery! The plumbing! The street beneath city hall! Don't you get it?"
- «Writefag4» "City hall?"
- «SpitFire» "we aren't thinking that clearly right now, so you could spell it out for us?"
- «SpitFire» (this is were egg disapears isn't it)
- «Puck» "Me either-- Hey Ewo, sorry we're taking so long, just trying to sort some stuff out, not talking about strippers at all..."
- «Egg_Discord» "This was all a conspiracy by the city the whole time! THAT'S how they had access to the plumbing! THAT'S How they knew where any of us live!"
- «Writefag4» (I wish Write knew what they saw. He'd tell him that. "Its magic. You don't got to understand shit.")
- «Globebutt» ( http://boards.4chan.org/mlp/res/5649549#p5707836 hey, write, look what happened in the drawthread)
- «Ewo» I hug Puck tightly
- «SpitFire» "so they've been stalking us for a while then? and watching our progress?" a cold shiver runs down my spine
- «Globebutt» (What's Ewo look like again at this point?)
- «Ewo» (I don't think I've changed at all through this)
- «Writefag4» I sigh.
- «Egg_Discord» "Exactly, Spitfire!"
- «Egg_Discord» "Think about it, Write! It all makes sense!"
- «Writefag4» "No it doesn't. Nothing has made sense since yesterday morning."
- «Globebutt» (And how's Puck look?)
- «Egg_Discord» "And the mailman! Whenever he came, what sort of things did he bring with him?"
- «SpitFire» The recuirter
- «HTBK» (Puck has bright yello hair and not much else)
- «SpitFire» Sets up the new ones, and then brings them in when it's time
- «Puck» (I'm back)
- «Egg_Discord» "Write, you have to trust me on this! This could be our last chance to save ourselves! All I need is her name. Please, Write! I'm begging you!"
- «Puck» *return Ewo's hug by putting an arm around her*
- «Egg_Discord» Note that I'm shouting all of this loud enough for Sun and Globe to hear.
- «Writefag4» Even if we knew what does it matter?
- «Writefag4» (If I knew.)
- «Writefag4» "Will knowing some strippers name turn us back?"
- «Globebutt» My ears perk up. "What's going on?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Are you saying that you WANT to be a pony for the rest of your life?"
- «SpitFire» *if it's part of another pass word, yes*
- «Writefag4» (Why would you make your name the password. Thats stupid.)
- «Ewo» I go and look at Globe
- «Writefag4» "No it sounds like you had your lead and were too chicken to follow up on it."
- «SpitFire» "becuase we are forgetting, and wouldn't be able to use it"
- «Puck» (the last password wasn't all THAT creative)
- «Puck» (damn better then a name though...)
- «SpitFire» (nope,just pulling at strings)
- «SpitFire» *looks at egg* we could grab her and bring down with us to it again
- «Puck» "Well since we're here we could get some supplies right?"
- «Writefag4» "You said theres a pony town hidden under this one? Why aren't you looking for awnsers there."
- «Globebutt» (Ewo, there's a door in the way.)
- «Egg_Discord» "You're right! I was chicken! I shouldn't have hesitated! I'm sorry that you guys are in this mess, and I'm sorry for making things worse. But all I ask is that I help you one last time!"
- «Ewo» (Oh, okay)
- «Egg_Discord» "Because we don't look human! If we go there, they'll easily find us out, and you three are stuck without a cure!"
- «Puck» (>survivors guilt up in this...)
- «Writefag4» I'm feeling my blood boil a bit here. This is almost like at the house.
- «Puck» "I look pretty human I think."
- «SpitFire» "time for blame game is over, we want to fix this, we need info and supplies, and maybe you Write"
- «SpitFire» Please, help us out write
- «Egg_Discord» "I know most of this is my mess, and you have every right to be mad at me. But are you going to throw away everyone's chance at returning to normal just because you're mad at me?"
- «Writefag4» "Fine. Just why the fuck are we wasting time here then?"
- «HTBK» *The GM may just be stoned, but he's rapidly losing sight of the dramatic center here.*
- «Globebutt» "What's going on, M... Write?"
- «SpitFire» "tell you what you get 3 free hits on him when we get back"
- «Writefag4» "You're stalling. Either go down there and find out whats going on or open this door and I'll do it for you."
- «Egg_Discord» An idea suddenly springs into my head.
- «Writefag4» "Globe according to Egg theres a magical fairy land under city hall."
- «Puck» "Couldn't we all go?"
- «Egg_Discord» "You know what, Write? You're all coming with us! I've got a plan to get us into the city without being caught!"
- «Globebutt» "Globe?"
- «Writefag4» "Yes. Thats your name."
- «Puck» (It's globebutt, the globe pokemon! "Globe, Globe!")
- «Egg_Discord» "Is Globe there, Write? Tell him to come to the door. There's something I need to tell him, even if he can't remember me!"
- «Puck» (sorry, lol)
- «HTBK» *globe. That's your AGH YOU NEED MASTER MAKE IT STOP--*
- «Writefag4» "Globe. Over here. Egg wants to say something."
- «SpitFire» "write we are running out of time, you need to come with us now!"
- «Globebutt» I trot over toward the door.
- «HTBK» *As you near Write, the pounding in your head recedes...*
- «SpitFire» Open the door, please
- «Writefag4» "Can't open the door."
- «Writefag4» (I ahm welding this doah)
- «Globebutt» has uploaded a new photo.
- «Egg_Discord» "Globe? I'm sorry! I should've listened to you back in the brewery! It's my fault we're still turning into ponies! I shouldn't have blown up the brewery, the vat and the rest of the pills! If we ever get out of this, I let you do anything you want for the next month!"
- «Writefag4» (Actually it should be obvious why I can't open it.)
- «Globebutt» has deleted a photo.
- «SpitFire» (no hands?)
- «Writefag4» (Yeah.)
- «Puck» *puts hand on eggs shoulder for comfort*
- «HTBK» *Globe, roll fort.*
- «Globebutt» (6.)
- «SpitFire» (you could pull down on the handle)
- «HTBK» *Shame. With a small whimper, you try to bury yourself in master's side. Thinking about this hurts...*
- «Writefag4» (I assumed it was a knob.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Except I'm not letting anyone open the door right now)
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright. Write, can you open the door?"
- «Globebutt» "Ugh."
- «Writefag4» "Uh. Maybe."
- «Writefag4» (Dms choice if its openable or not with hooves.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Do it. We're all going to infiltrate the city together."
- «HTBK» (It is if you use both.)
- «Writefag4» I manage to turn the handle and fall with the door whichever way it opens.
- «HTBK» *Inside.*
- «Writefag4» So backwards.
- «HTBK» *Yep.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Bring Sun and Puck along. We're not coming back here!"
- «Egg_Discord» *Globe, not puck*
- «Puck» (I was wondering)
- «SpitFire» lets go, we are running out of time
- «Puck» "I'll help, who needs a set of hands?"
- «Egg_Discord» I go inside and grab Sun, running for the van.
- «Globebutt» I presumably stagger toward the wall as the stallion I'm leaning on moves with the door.
- «HTBK» *Jitters, you wish they would be quiet. Being a good girl is so hard sometimes...*
- «SpitFire» (I'm going to have to go here, try not to have to much fun with out me)
- «Puck» *eralise too late that that was poor word choice*
- «Puck» *realize
- «Writefag4» "Alright lets move then."
- «Puck» (you're off? night then!)
- «SpitFire» *gives the keys to puck* you drive
- «HTBK» (Seeya Spitfire.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Okay, night spitfire!)
- «Puck» "Where's sunfire?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Puck, make a stop by the pet store!"
- «SpitFire» (yah, need sleep, HTBK don't go to crazy or for an orgy with out me )
- «Egg_Discord» "I placed him in the back!"
- «HTBK» (I'll think on it.)
- «Globebutt» "Wait. Wait."
- «HTBK» *the GM laughs at Egg's horrible idea.*
- «Ewo» I walk back to the van
- «Writefag4» (Also I'm pretty glad HTBK didn't realise I fell on my back all exposed like with Globe clinging to me.)
- «HTBK» (Lucky you.)
- «Globebutt» I look around the room. "What about all our stuff?" "And Quiet Nights!"
- «Writefag4» "We'll bring her. The stuff'll still be here when we get back."
- «Globebutt» (Or, wait. Quiet Nights is Sunfire. It's Jared we're forgetting.)
- «SpitFire» (good night peoples, er ponies)
- «Puck» *looks into room at Globe*
- «Egg_Discord» (Jared's already in the van)
- «Writefag4» (I would have brought it up but I'd rather not have globe fall to 10. He seems to be having trouble with rolls lately.)
- «Puck» (was there any bags or stuff?)
- «Globebutt» (Don't I just.)
- «Globebutt» (We had several bags. I know I had a duffel with quilts and some water bottles, at least before. The quilts might all be around Quiet Nights now.)
- «Writefag4» "Lets go."
- «Puck» (as write said, it'll be there I guess)
- «Puck» *behind the wheel* "Alrighty, are well all settled?"
- «Writefag4» (God why are you people bothering with inventory.)
- «Puck» (old habits)
- «Globebutt» Because I'm not leaving without my damn coffee.
- «Puck» (lol)
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright, let's get moving!" I shout to Puck
- «Globebutt» (I grab my coffee before I run down to the van.)
- «Puck» Globes got his Java, so start the engine and head off to town hall.
- «Globebutt» Now, quick. How's everyone arranged in the van?
- «Writefag4» "Globe no. You've been getting headaches. No more coffee."
- «HTBK» *The GM patiently waits for someone to do something terrible.*
- «HTBK» *...*
- «HTBK» *Jitters?*
- «HTBK» *this is the toughest decision.*
- «Globebutt» "T'hh k'hf'hyy w'hhl hllp!"
- «HTBK» *of your entire life.*
- «Puck» (The van's got one row of seats, then two sets of seats facing each other in the very back)
- «Puck» (9 seat belts all told, counting the driver)
- «Ewo» I'm just sitting in the back, taking up one seat, silently.
- «Egg_Discord» "Globe, I promise, once we're through with all of this, I am gonna buy you the biggest cup of coffee this city has to offer."
- «SpitFire» left the chat.
- «HTBK» *Master...or coffee. Master, or coffee...*
- «Egg_Discord» "All you have to do is leave that bag of coffee behind."
- «HTBK» *Obey your master like a good girl...*
- «Globebutt» My eyes dart from Write to... who the fuck cares? They're offering me coffee.
- «HTBK» *Or coffee...*
- «Egg_Discord» "Don't you want to have all the coffee you can drink for the rest of your life, Globe?"
- «Writefag4» "Egg. Not helping."
- «Egg_Discord» "I know that, but it's the only way right now."
- «Globebutt» I slowly put the bag on the ground...
- «Globebutt» Then open it up, take a hoofful of beans and shove them in my mouth before I jump into the van.
- «Puck» Okay, we're at the city hall. yes.
- «Puck» (oh, this was before we left?)
- «Globebutt» (Who says a girl can't really have it all?)
- «Puck» (I Dunno, I'm just driving)
- «Writefag4» "I agree with the pet shop sentiment. You said they were on leashes?"
- «Puck» "Only some of them"
- «Puck» "some had top hats!"
- «Egg_Discord» "Exactly! We'll have you and Globe pose as pets as we all look for anything to help us."
- «HTBK» *The GM is entertaining this talk of pet shops in the same way that creepy uncle Kevin entertained the idea of watching over the children's choir.*
- «Puck» (................)
- «Globebutt» (GM, is there something you'd like to tell us?)
- «Puck» "Right-o to the pet emporium!"
- «HTBK» *The GM is telling you that this is going to go badly.*
- «Globebutt» (How did I guess.)
- «Puck» (as if there was ever any doubt)
- «Writefag4» (This was a given from the begining.)
- «Puck» *And now we are there!*
- «Globebutt» http://youtu.be/2hsx9xGY9bc
- «Egg_Discord» A risk I'm willing to take. "We'll stop by the hat shop afterwards!"
- «Globebutt» (Snggfrlglhrfff.)
- «Puck» "So.... who's getting leashed? And who's leasing?"
- «HTBK» *Oh you son of a bitch.*
- «Puck» (I didn't even think of that globe)
- «Egg_Discord» "Write's the sanest of the ponies right now. Sorry, bro. I hope you understand"
- «Puck» (Who me?)
- «Ewo» I start singing to myself quietly
- «Globebutt» I don't imagine the thought of anyone but Write here tethering me's too appealing, in any case.
- «Writefag4» "Lets not. We're taking too long as it is.
- «Writefag4» "We both will."
- «HTBK» *of course, Jitters. Is anyone getting sleepy?*
- «Globebutt» I don't think my coffee beans will let me.
- «Puck» (I hope I'm not)
- «Globebutt» (I munch noisily.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright. Puck, grab the leashes with this money. I'll stay out here."
- «Puck» I head inside.
- «HTBK» (OOC. Anyone sleepy?)
- «Egg_Discord» At this point, I've got nothing but pure adrenaline and testosterone pumping through my veins.
- «Puck» (ehhh, not to much)
- «Egg_Discord» (I can keep going all night long!)
- «HTBK» *It's a...pet shop, Puck. They've got things like gerbil cages and hamster wheels and SQUEAKY TOY SHAPED LIKE A CARROT ROLL FORT*
- «Ewo» (I've got a pretty bad headache, but that's not the same thing)
- «Globebutt» (Only a little. I can keep it up at least 90 more minutes.)
- «Puck» (6)
- «Globebutt» (A carrot roll fort!)
- «HTBK» (alas.)
- «Globebutt» (That a fort made of carrot rolls? Weird.)
- «Puck» (I really did lol at that, you glorious bastard)
- «HTBK» *With the ferocity of Hell itself, you dive forward and grab the squeaky toy in your mouth. You begin shaking it furiously.*
- «HTBK» (Ow.)
- «HTBK» *And as your squeak and toss it, you become aware of a curious mounting pressure at the base of your spine, and a strange, unfamiliar emptiness between your legs...*
- «Puck» >take that carrot, you will be mine!<
- «Puck» (oh dear)
- «Globebutt» (As long as we don't find new ways to play with the carrot...)
- «Puck» (OH DEAR)
- «HTBK» (...)
- «HTBK» (...)
- «HTBK» (...)
- «HTBK» (...Roll fort again, please.)
- «Puck» (I'm buying this carrot.)
- «Globebutt» (dammit globebutt why did you go and open your whore mouth)
- «Puck» (I already rolled the next one, assuming I was going to need to. It was a 10)
- «HTBK» (Because it's possible to be the GM's pet and Write's pet.)
- «HTBK» (You're buying that carrot.0-
- «Puck» (yep)
- «Globebutt» (oh nooo)
- «HTBK» *You realize that you are being watched by a curious employee.*
- «Puck» *grr, grr, squeek, squeeeeee~.....* "ough, hevello."
- «HTBK» "...Fucking weekends..."
- «HTBK» *With a grumble, the employee continues on his way.*
- «Puck» *take carrot out of mouth* "Just... testing it..."
- «Puck» *cough*
- «Puck» I make my way to the collars.
- «HTBK» *Now, where were you?*
- «Puck» Do they have color options?
- «Egg_Discord» (Puck, I cannot express how sorry I am.)
- «» Typhoon left the chat.
- «Globebutt» (Puck's fucked.)
- «HTBK» *Collars...collars, collars collars. Come in dog, and cat, and now in pony. There's orange and blue and OH MY GOD THAT PINK ONE WOULD BE *AMAZING* ON YOU--*
- «HTBK» *roll fort*
- «Puck» (This is my carrot, there are many like it, but this one is mine...)
- «HTBK» (7.)
- «Puck» (7, so fucking fucked, lol)
- «Writefag4» (I was going to make a suggestion to avoid these issues but I didn't think they'd arrise before he got back to the car.)
- «HTBK» (When you have a bad day, the GM will play.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Roll a one!)
- «HTBK» (Roll PON.)
- «Puck» (6)
- «Egg_Discord» (YOU IDIOT! I told you to roll a one!)
- «Puck» (The dice never listen to me!)
- «Globebutt» (Were gonna have him take a pill before he lost his junk and such, weren't you.)
- «HTBK» (Under 3 to 4.2 in a single sitting. Not bad.)
- «HTBK» *OHMYGODIT'S PERFECT!*
- «HTBK» *You snatch the collar off the shelf and clip it around yourself, even as a strange purple coat of fur spreads all down your arms.*
- «Egg_Discord» I can see what's happening in the car, and facepalm, realizing my flawed logic.
- «HTBK» *You should get some for Puck and Egg and Globe and Ohmigooood!*
- «Egg_Discord» "Well, time to see if these pills work," I say as I pop a pill into my mouth
- «Puck» (I would blame you, but I think I'm rather happy right now)
- «Globebutt» (Puck should clearly get one for Puck.)
- «HTBK» (Dammit typo.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Does the pill work?)
- «Puck» (I've got that one covered, lol)
- «HTBK» *...It might be doing something, Egg.*
- «HTBK» *You...want to eat carrots slightly less?*
- «Writefag4» (I was thinking a pill before we went through and put the leashes on ourselves.
- «Puck» I think a matching leash for each collar is in order as well.
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright, I think this might work!" I say as I walk into the store, locking the car behind me. I walk over to where Puck is and promptly smack him.
- «Puck» Ow.
- «Egg_Discord» I turn to a nearby employee and say
- «Puck» "what was that for? I was just getting us the collars!"
- «HTBK» *...you can feel the GM's grin upon you.*
- «Egg_Discord» "I'm sorry for my cousin here. He's not allowed outside on weekends."
- «HTBK» *Roll fort, while the employee rolls her eyes. It's always been the same damn thing, since "Avatar" cam out...*
- «Egg_Discord» I then quickly move to the check out counter, focusing on nothing BUT the counter.
- «Egg_Discord» (...MOTHERFUCKER! 9!)
- «Puck» quietly, "Uhhh, egg?"
- «HTBK» *Even as you get to the counter, you become keenly aware of how you have snapped a faded red collar around your neck. Roll PON!*
- «HTBK» *Puck, you fetch the remaining collars and leashes without issue.*
- «Egg_Discord» (3)
- «HTBK» *That's enough~!*
- «Puck» (was that me needing to roll just there?)
- «Egg_Discord» I grab him and drag him to the front counter, and pay for the collars
- «HTBK» (Nope, you're good.)
- «Puck» "could.... could I get this too?" *hold up carrot*
- «HTBK» *The cashier shrugs.*
- «HTBK» "Sure. Free with every purchase."
- «Puck» >ferk yeah
- «Egg_Discord» I try to stop him, but I can't argue with the cashier. All I can do is grit my teeth.
- «Globebutt» (o u)
- «HTBK» *Back in the car, Egg--oh dear Jesus, Write is starting to smell good. Start driving.*
- «Egg_Discord» "After finishing the transaction, I drag him back to the car, and hand the collars to Write and Globe.
- «Writefag4» (Thanks Egg.)
- «Egg_Discord» I also hand a pill to everyone. "Take this! It should help the urges"
- «Writefag4» (Order is kind of important in these things.)
- «Puck» I fiddle with the ring on mine, having feels.
- «HTBK» *You think you look very pretty, Puck~*
- «Ewo» I don't take it
- «Globebutt» (Ooh, what color's my collar? Teal, I hope. Best match my mane.)
- «Puck» I stare at it for a moment, then swallow it.
- «Egg_Discord» As I take mine off, I take Puck's off, telling him to get a grip.
- «HTBK» (A lovely forest green, Globe.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Ewo, you have to swallow it!"
- «Ewo» "I-I..."
- «HTBK» *You can't wait for master to put yours on, Jitters!*
- «Writefag4» I grab my pillz and eat them.
- «Egg_Discord» "Ewo, if you don't swallow it, there's no guarantee you'll come back as a human."
- «Globebutt» I shake my head. I can't hold anything like a pill with these hooves! And I'm gonna want something to take a pill with.
- «Puck» I half go to grab my collar back from egg, then drop my hand to my lap.
- «HTBK» *You could always just...toss it out. It's not like master commanded you to take it...*
- «Ewo» I stutter some more, not coming out with an answer.
- «Globebutt» Why toss it out? It's not in my way. I just ignore it.
- «Egg_Discord» "Write, tell him to take the pill. He listens to you."
- «O-O-T-N» joined the chat.
- «Egg_Discord» "Ewo, what's wrong? Why don't you want to take the pill?"
- «Puck» (hey there many names man!)
- «Writefag4» "This is vile. Globe eat your pill."
- «Globebutt» "I think I'll need help."
- «Egg_Discord» "Let me help you, Globe." I say, not wanting him to get any more attached to Write.
- «Globebutt» (Also, how do Puck and Egg look after they return to the car?)
- «Writefag4» (Aren't you driving?)
- «Ewo» I just stay mostly frozen
- «Puck» deprived of my collar I fiddle with my squeaky carrot, careful not to make any noise.
- «HTBK» (Puck has fur.
- «Globebutt» (What color, again?)
- «HTBK» (purplish.)
- «Puck» (purple I believe)
- «Globebutt» (And what's Ewo look like?)
- «HTBK» *ha ha, it's so rubbery.*
- «HTBK» (Only clocking a two.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Ewo, talk to me. What's wrong with taking the pill. YOu can be honest."
- «Puck» I nibble gently on the green part, hoping it doesn't squeak.
- «HTBK» *It doesn't. Ah, so much like the real thing...*
- «Writefag4» (Who is driving?)
- «HTBK» *You wanna be the tiny horse, don't you Puck?*
- «Ewo» "I-I'm really not good at decisions..."
- «Puck» (I -was-)
- «HTBK» *The GM makes the Spongebob face.*
- «Egg_Discord» I am.
- «HTBK» *You know which one.*
- «Puck» (dammit do I ever)
- «Globebutt» ("You like ponies, don't you, Squidward?"?)
- «Egg_Discord» "What do you mean, Ewo?"
- «Writefag4» "Globe eat your pill."
- «Puck» http://denver.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw5475-1338077865777.png
- «Ewo» "I just... ugh..."
- «Globebutt» (I thought Egg was helping me with my pill.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Don't tell me you actually WANT to be a pony."
- «Writefag4» (Egg is driving.)
- «Puck» (I'd lend a helping hand here ewo, but carrot)
- «Egg_Discord» (I am.)
- «Ewo» "M-maybe..."
- «Egg_Discord» As I help Globe swallow the pill, I look at Ewo, waiting for an answer.
- «Puck» *squeeeeeek~*
- «Puck» >fuck<
- «HTBK» *Egg, you can just imagine the postman grinning.*
- «HTBK» *Puck, roll fort.*
- «Egg_Discord» Fuck you, brain.
- «Puck» (7)
- «HTBK» *roll PON.*
- «Puck» (wow, 10)
- «Writefag4» (Oh god. This car is one chomp away from a riot.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Ewo, why would you want to be a pony? You wouldn't have any freedom, no memories of your life. Is your life really that bad that you'd be willing to lose yourself in order to become a pony?"
- «Globebutt» (Holy fuck, Puck.(
- «Puck» (I should have told you all that dice really do hate me)
- «HTBK» *as that delicious, soothing *squeeeek* sounds through the car, twin agonies spring up in your shoulder blades. You'd mind more, but...squeaky toy!*
- «Ewo» "I just thought of it so much of an inevitability... I started to accept it..."
- «Puck» *chews more on squeaky toy to distract from pain*
- «HTBK» *Every single chew takes just a little bit more away. Roll Fort again.*
- «Puck» (right... 10, THEN 7 this time)
- «Globebutt» (You bastard.)
- «Puck» (I think I need to stop doing things)
- «HTBK» *eeeeeee. This is the greatest thing ever!*
- «Writefag4» "Jesus Egg Drive. Drive while somone still has thumbs!"
- «Egg_Discord» "Ewo, I promise. We WILL get out of this as humans. All you have to do is believe in us. We can get through this together, I promise."
- «HTBK» *The pain dies away before long.*
- «Egg_Discord» On that note, I take the wheel and charge for the City Hall. The final battle is surely among us!
- «Globebutt» (Can I roll something to remember the last time I went driving?)
- «Puck» (egg, your speech would probably me more motivating if I didn't just go up like 3 whole PON points)
- «HTBK» *Roll fort.*
- «Globebutt» (10! Lovely.)
- «HTBK» *Ow.*
- «HTBK» *The last time you went driving, you were in Master's lap.*
- «HTBK» *And it was perfect.*
- «Ewo» I mumble something under my breath
- «HTBK» *You'd ask again, but...by that point, you've already stopped.*
- «Globebutt» (Ah, yes. Back when Master had a lap.)
- «Writefag4» (Maybe you can tell there was something wrong with that memory)
- «Puck» Wait, we're there? I wanna get out. I get out!
- «HTBK» *City hall remains just where it was.*
- «Egg_Discord» Finally, we arrive at City hall.
- «Globebutt» (Always pick a large building to guard. It's an easy post, because no one ever comes along to steal them.)
- «Writefag4» "Lead on Egg. Lets go before these pills wear off."
- «Puck» I pocket the carrot for later.
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright, now Ewo, you and Puck hold on to Write, and I'll take Globe." We then enter the buuilding to where we were last time.
- «Egg_Discord» "Centaur!" I call out at the door.
- «Egg_Discord» (The secret door, I mean)
- «Globebutt» (By some chance do I remember to remind them that the duration is about six hours?)
- «Ewo» I hold onto Write, putting the pill in my pocket.
- «Puck» I stick with Ewo.
- «Puck» "Write, how you feeling?"
- «HTBK» *ONce more, with the thunderous chorus of falling rocks, the wall falls away, to reveal that same impossible city in its place below the earth. Time to disguise, then.*
- «Writefag4» "Okay put the collar on slowly. Slowly."
- «Ewo» I seem to be mouthing the same words over and over.
- «Writefag4» I grit my teeth. "Just a disguise. Not actually a pet."
- «Puck» I'll slowly attach the collar around his neck.
- «Puck» "What's that Ewo?"
- «HTBK» *You're not a pet you're not a pet you're not a pet but this collar--roll fort.*
- «Ewo» "...Hmm?"
- «Egg_Discord» I walk in with Globe on a leash, signaling everyone to follow me in.
- «Writefag4» (5)
- «HTBK» (Roll PON.)
- «Puck» "Just thought you were saying something to me."
- «Ewo» "N-no, just to myself..."
- «Globebutt» (Yeah, I think I was already collared at the pet store?)
- «Writefag4» (3)
- «HTBK» (I think you were, Globe.)
- «Puck» "Oh. Okay then... ready?" motioning ahead
- «HTBK» *But this collar makes you wonder just how you could forget your place. You're such a silly pony, Slushie.*
- «Egg_Discord» Alright, examine the street. Anything different from last time?
- «Writefag4» Okay. Lets go.
- «Globebutt» How's it look to Globe/Jitters?
- «Ewo» I start humming Que Sera Sera.
- «HTBK» *The only difference, Egg, is the assortment of creatures who prowl the streets. Humans--full humans, like you once were--walk ponies on leashes, while some ponies still walk freely. There are no signs of anything in between the two.*
- «HTBK» *To you, Jitters, it looks like you've got a lot of friends to make.*
- «Puck» (that's... quite appropriate Ewo.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright guys, look for any clues. If you see the mailman or the stripper, let me know." I rattle off a brief description of what the stripper looked like
- «Ewo» (I wouldn't be thinking of it if it wasn't)
- «Puck» "I suppose there's nothing to it but to do it then, eh?"
- «Writefag4» "A map would be good too."
- «HTBK» *Blonde and busty, naturally.*
- «Puck» I step forward tentatively, setting foot through the doorway.
- «HTBK» *If you guys want to still go, the GM is going to get his socks.*
- «Globebutt» (I won't ask what for.)
- «Puck» >It's kind of a shame I don't have long sleeves with all this fur...<
- «Puck» (socking, naturally)
- «Egg_Discord» I search around. It looks really well-kept and clean. It's certainly a large contrast with the rest of City Hall.
- «Ewo» (What are ponies without socks?)
- «Puck» (^)
- «Ewo» (the answer to that is most ponies)
- «Globebutt» (In our case, collared.)
- «Puck» I try to find a street sign or two. And also, you said the street stones were... glowing slightly?
- «Globebutt» (They were last time, at least.)
- «HTBK» *The GM's socks are warm. I suggest getting some of your own.*
- «Ewo» I follow Puck, kind of lifelessly
- «Globebutt» (I have some on, actually.)
- «Globebutt» I obviously follow around Egg. Not much of a choice.
- «Puck» (I'll do you one better; uggs!)
- «HTBK» *The cobblestones are cold beneath your hooves and/or feet; and for now, the only direction is a long walk forward. You can make out an intersection a ways down--this entire thing is so geometrically impossible that you would be forgiven for wondering if this is simply a hallucination brought on after your mass suicide.*
- «Puck» (>gas leak)
- «Puck» Forward we walk then.
- «Globebutt» (How steep is it? San Francisco, Seattle, Cleveland, Kansas City?)
- «Puck» rather excitedly, "Hey Ewo, you seeing this? It's too crazy!"
- «Egg_Discord» "Is there any thing here that's helpful?"
- «Ewo» I nod a little
- «Writefag4» (We talking milkman consparacy twisted?)
- «HTBK» *As you pass the storefronts, you see the strangest things: cauldrons, medallions, statuettes, wax figurines, quill pens, swords, life-life mannequins, candied apples on sticks, watches and gauntlets and a few things the GM doesn't even have words for so he shall simply call them "doohickeys".*
- «HTBK» *And it's not *that* steep.*
- «HTBK» *You are, of course, unnoticed.*
- «Ewo» (mailman conspiracy.)
- «Writefag4» (http://www.ekermo.se/tmp/milkman.jpg)
- «Globebutt» (As long as no one goes postal.)
- «Puck» (ARHG)
- «HTBK» (I am the milkman. My Pone is cuddly.)
- «Puck» I stop glancing at all the pretty stores and look back and Ewo. "Hey, you alright in there?" ducking back and leaning in front of her.
- «Globebutt» (Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be? So cuddly. You want to reach out and rub its belly.)
- «HTBK» (Yeeeeees.)
- «Ewo» "N-not really."
- «Globebutt» (So soft, so warm. Inviting. Comforting. Safe.)
- «HTBK» (Quick recap.)
- «HTBK» (Puck, do you remember your colors? Because I think I misspoke earlier.)
- «Puck» "Whats up? This is the best chance we've got so far of learning more about all this."
- «Puck» (uhh, yellow hair, purplish fur)
- «HTBK» (Just as I thought, I misspoke.)
- «HTBK» (The purplish fur is really more of an ambery-gold. Mea culpa.)
- «Puck» (correct away then mistro!)
- «Puck» (ah, got it)
- «Ewo» "I know." I start to mouth the same thing over and over again.
- «Egg_Discord» (It's not my fault! I'm not to blame! It is the gypsy girl! The witch who set this flame!)
- «Puck» (Hellfire was the first thing I ever posted in this chat)
- «Globebutt» ( http://5secondfilms.com/watch/burn_the_witch )
- «Egg_Discord» I look at the stores. I can't imagine where the city would get the kind of money needed to make this place so nice, as well as the amount of things they'd need to secretly stock.
- «HTBK» *Jitters, Slushie--there's nothing strange about seeing the other ponies on the street. Egg, Puck--you get the most maddening sensation that presenting yourself on two legs is an affront to the order, and something in the back of your heads tells you you should be down there with them...*
- «HTBK» *No roll necessary.*
- «Writefag4» Have I seen any of the other leashed ponies talking?
- «Puck» *handle carrot in pocket absently*
- «Globebutt» (Of course not. You can't see sound!)
- «Puck» (o u)
- «HTBK» *Its weight is comforting, Puck. No, Write; but I suppose they wouldn't, when they've got places to be.*
- «Writefag4» I might have seen their lips moving.
- «HTBK» *Of course, it's hard to pick a voice out of the crowd.*
- «Puck» (how crowded is it again?)
- «» CC joined the chat.
- «Writefag4» Whats the stare levels we're getting?
- «Egg_Discord» Should I try to interrogate any of the people here?
- «Puck» I fall back to walk along side Ewo.
- «Globebutt» (SS, I suppose?)
- «Puck» whispering, "Uh, do you think I stand out?"
- «Puck» (CC as in with Iris and Z?)
- «» CC(yeah, checking it out)
- «Ewo» "You're fine..."
- «Globebutt» (Want the log of the session I started DMing the other day? (Warning: Clop. Disclaimer: I did not plan it that way.)
- «» CC(uhhhhh...no so sure, no.)
- «» CC(not so)
- «Puck» (heheh)
- «Egg_Discord» (You didn't try to stop the clop either, did you, Globe?)
- «HTBK» *As you reach the end of the street, you find yourself at a four-way intersection: right in the center, is a statue of a unicorn in a waistcoat reading to three human children. The four most prominent buildings--those that end their respective streets, of course--are "The Staggering Stallion Tavern", "Dr. Croft's Medical and Ferrier", "Sikkelhaagen's Minstrel Theater", and "The Stayaways Hotel".*
- «Writefag4» (Sometimes. Writefag wishes for a squirtbottle in that one.)
- «HTBK» *This is what madness looks like.*
- «HTBK» *If only you had rat poison.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright, where should we go first, guys?"
- «Writefag4» Inspect statue.
- «Globebutt» (...You shut your mouth.)
- «Globebutt» >l statue
- «Puck» *fidget nervously for a bit* "This place.. stopped seeming so awesome...."
- «HTBK» (You know you want it.)

- «Egg_Discord» (No guys! We need to explore!)
- «Puck» *looks around to see if anything in the windows redeems the town*
- «HTBK» (Then a goodnight to ya.)
- «Globebutt» (Understood. Later, CC.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Night, CC)
- «HTBK» *Oh, well aren't you a picky sunuvabitch. An entire city under the street's not enough to impress you, eh?*
- «Writefag4» >get statue
- «HTBK» *It's roughly forty times your size.*
- «Writefag4» (Yes well you weren't listening when I wanted to look more closely at it.)
- «Egg_Discord» Are there any shifty figures in the crowd?
- «Writefag4» >x statue
- «Puck» (sorry, masta, actually I had typed that, got distracted, and hit enter about 2mins later)
- «Globebutt» (Wait, are we all traveling as a team here?)
- «Puck» (yes)
- «Globebutt» (Also, what's the statue made of?)
- «HTBK» *Stone.*
- «Puck» (is it grey, or like, marble or something?)
- «Writefag4» (I just want a look at that statue before we go to the hospital. Also I'm not sure if I should talk.)
- «Puck» I walk closer to the statues base.
- «HTBK» *Gray with age. The unicorn is standing on all fours--three of the children are seated around it, while one is sitting on his back.*
- «Writefag4» Any engraving?
- «HTBK» *The book is, in the context of the statue, suspended in mid-air...and somehow, the book is held aloft above the rest of the statue with no sign of a wire.*
- «» CC left the chat.
- «Writefag4» Resisting >get book
- «Puck» (>giant statue, >really old, >lots of brick, >underground)
- «Globebutt» (It is encircled with rings of obsidian. The obsidian is engraved with pictures of cheese. It menaces with spikes of dolomite.)
- «Writefag4» Text adventure game logic. Not bolted down. Take it.
- «Globebutt» Amen.
- «HTBK» *According to the markings on the base, the statue is entitled: "Starbright's Story". How saccharine.*
- «Globebutt» Actually. It's 40 times our size. Shou...
- «Puck» As much as I agree with that, I think it might be to big for the inventory.
- «Globebutt» (Someone say something in character, eh?)
- «Egg_Discord» Examine the book)
- «HTBK» *It's stuck in place. Somehow. The passers-by glare at you and wonder why your master isn't handling you better.*
- «Puck» "Wow."
- «Writefag4» (I said I was resisting.)
- «Puck» whispered: "uh, write, come here, we're getting looks"
- «Writefag4» (As far as I know I'm just standing at the base looking at it.)
- «Puck» (oh, well, good pony.)
- «Writefag4» A turn slowly back to puck's side.
- «Globebutt» Oh no! You're getting an accent!
- «Puck» "So, where to now?" I circle my gaze around the group.
- «Puck» (accent?)
- «Egg_Discord» "Have we searched everywhere? How about the stores?"
- «Globebutt» (A turn slowly back to Puck's sahd...)
- «Writefag4» "Medical" I murmer quietly.
- «Globebutt» "I don't know what we're looking for."
- «Puck» "We could try a shoppe or two."
- «Ewo» I still look kind of down, mouthing the same thing.
- «Puck» >hears write
- «Puck» "Or maybe that medical looking building!" *points*
- «Egg_Discord» "..." It seems like a bad idea, but it is indeed that last place left to look. "Let's go, folks,"
- «HTBK» *The GM wishes people would get out of Zork mode.*
- «Writefag4» >Go west
- «Egg_Discord» "I lead them right to the building"
- «HTBK» *No fak u*
- «Globebutt» >i
- «Egg_Discord» >Get ye flask
- «Puck» *Look back around* quietly "ewo? you mind sharing what's up?
- «Globebutt» >take leaves
- «Writefag4» (Oh wait. Out of Zork mode nevermind.)
- «Ewo» "I-I'm okay"
- «Ewo» >xyzzy
- «Egg_Discord» >Give Kerrek a cold one
- «HTBK» *Oh stop it, you.*
- «Puck» *stares for a moment* "Okie dokie lokie...." *follows egg*
- «Globebutt» (>Pretend you're Xyzzy >Cards Against Humanity >No Globebutt it's 1:45 AM and you're RPing)
- «Egg_Discord» I look at the medical building. is there ANYTHING that looks off?
- «Puck» (bad Mr. Globe's Brain, bad!)
- «Globebutt» (I'
- «Globebutt» (I'm keeping me in check, dammit!)
- «Puck» (That was almost better with the accidental enter key)
- «Writefag4» Jesus egg. We're in magical fairyland. The building is going to look off.
- «HTBK» *The Medical/Ferrier's building is two stories tall: the first story is nothing more complex than a barn, with several shelves and an anvil on one wall and several troughs of hay on the other. The scent of delicious things hits your nose, while a human man in an apron engages in rapid-fire chatter about a sport of some sort with an ill-tempered pegasus.*
- «Ewo» I start to quietly mumble
- «Egg_Discord» Should I ask the man about the history of this place?
- «Globebutt» I take interest in the pegasus, naturally.
- «Writefag4» I have a thought and look into the far distance. Whats outside of town.
- «HTBK» *It is heresy to directly commune with the GM, Egg.*
- «Ewo» (unless you're turning into pinkie)
- «HTBK» *The pegasus is small, green, and male. He waves to you in passing before returning to his conversation.*
- «Globebutt» What's on his flank?
- «HTBK» *The horizon is obscured by the buildings. You should get higher.*
- «HTBK» *His mark is a horseshoe, fittingly enough.*
- «Globebutt» (Anyone bring a joint?)
- «Puck» (vat)
- «Puck» (oh)
- «Puck» (oh you.)
- «Globebutt» (:3c)
- «Egg_Discord» "Let's keep going, guys," I say as we move past the building, not seeing any point in continuing.
- «HTBK» *What a poor choice of words, Egg.*
- «Puck» "Maybe the tavern?"
- «Puck» (better then my "need a hand" earlier)
- «Writefag4» I really want to see whats outside of town if there is an outside of town.
- «Egg_Discord» Where is the tavern in relative location from the medical building?
- «Puck» It was one of the four corner buildings
- «Egg_Discord» Oh yeah.
- «Egg_Discord» Forget I said anything then
- «Egg_Discord» "Let's see if there's an end to the city," I say.
- «Ewo» "...P-puck?"
- «Puck» Ye choices are "up" and "out"
- «Puck» "Yes?"
- «Ewo» "I-I'm wondering if maybe I want to be a pony..."
- «Puck» "I- I was carefully not thinking about that."
- «Puck» "How was your life before?"
- «HTBK» *The tavern is just across the square...
- «Puck» We walk and talk.
- «Ewo» "It was... fine I guess."
- «Globebutt» (Check to see what Ewo looks like. I keep forgetting!)
- «Puck» "Did you have people who you cared about? Who'd miss you?"
- «Writefag4» I walk and watch. This is unsettling and also uplifiting. Considering a few of the ponies seem absolutely fine it gives me a little hope.
- «Writefag4» (By that I mean the dressed ponies.)
- «Ewo» "Of course I do... it's just... I don't know..."
- «Egg_Discord» "Hey Globe, how are you doing down there?"
- «Ewo» "...we're undeveloped, we're ignorant, we're stupid, but we're happy."
- «Globebutt» I think I'm doing fine. What do the voices in my head say, though?
- «HTBK» *Ewo has blue hair, and a luxurious purple coat.*
- «HTBK» *Jitters, something smells like hay, but...coffee.*
- «HTBK» *At the same time.*
- «HTBK» *...Holy *shit*.
- «Ewo» Oh, I didn't remember getting fur.
- «Puck» I stop and take her by the shoulders, letting the group get ahead. "You can't live life for anyone but yourself. You have to decide what would make you happy... But don't tell Egg I said that."
- «Egg_Discord» (Wait, what do I look like, then?)
- «HTBK» (purple mane, red eyes, not-so-luxirious purple coat.*
- «HTBK» *IN fact, you look kinda mangy.*
- «Globebutt» "Something smells good."
- «HTBK» *Take a shower.*
- «Ewo» "I... don't know. But that's what I've been mouthing to myself for the last while..."
- «HTBK» (And that was another typo, Ewo. My concentration is slipping.)
- «HTBK» (No coat.)
- «Egg_Discord» No. Fuck you. I like my hair this way.
- «HTBK» *Ah, blow it our yer arse, you pinko.*
- «» FilledWithAge left the chat.
- «HTBK» *Where doth thine herd wander?*
- «Egg_Discord» I'll blow it out of my ass and then shove it up YOUR ass
- «Ewo» >e
- «Puck» "Well, just relax and think on it for a while eh? For now lets head inside."
- «HTBK» *Just like Swap.avi.*
- «Writefag4» The group is moving too slowly. I start looking at the ponies on leashes as well. How do they seem.
- «Ewo» "O-okay."
- «Egg_Discord» I start to smell the coffee hay smell. Knowing where this leads, I head away from that smell, making sure to remind Globe of our deal.
- «Puck» I close the rest of distance towards the tavern.
- «Puck» Whas it look like?
- «HTBK» *They seem contented enough, Write. Some have cuts, but those are the exceptions and not the rule. Some have muzzles and some wear halters, but you suspect this is primarily decorative. Most are naked.*
- «Egg_Discord» I enter the tavern with the others, looking around for anything.
- «Ewo» I just start hugging Puck
- «HTBK» *The tavern has one room, with an upstairs floor presumably reserved for private dealings. The bareeper is a portly bald human in an apron, who points at you and beckons for you to come closer. The place stinks of coffee-and-hay-and-whiskey-and-cider. Best not to order anything, lest ye go the way of Rip Van Winkle.*
- «Egg_Discord» (Points to who?)
- «HTBK» *You and Puck both.*
- «Puck» /surprised *hug back, pause* "I imagine write is getting tired of being stuck with us, lets head in"
- «HTBK» *The place is...curiously empty, with only one or two patrons on the main floor...*
- «Puck» Oh, well we're inside then.
- «Egg_Discord» I see this as a possible opportunity to get some info and walk right towards Mr. Barkeep.
- «HTBK» *The barkeep glares at you suspiciously.*
- «Puck» "Here Ewo, take Write, I'll be a back in a second."
- «HTBK» "Not so off'n we get haffas 'round here, stranger."
- «Puck» (oh)
- «Puck» "Uhh, egg, you wanna field this one?"
- «Globebutt» I flutter up to see over the counter. "What smells like coffee?"
- «Ewo» I take Write
- «HTBK» *The barkeep softens, just a little bit. He has a soft spot for ponies, apparently.*
- «HTBK» "That'd be t' coffee."
- «Writefag4» I notice this. Apparently we are allowed to talk.
- «Globebutt» (Why wouldn't he? We're fuckin' adorable.)
- «Egg_Discord» "You mean I'm not the first one you've seen like... This?" I say in a hushed tone, gesturing for BK to keep it down
- «HTBK» *He shakes his head no.*
- «HTBK» "Once in a blue moon."
- «HTBK» "..."
- «HTBK» *He slowly looks around your party and narrows his eyes.*
- «HTBK» "You here with that shit-eyed devil?"
- «Puck» "Sorry, who?"
- «HTBK» "That fucker up in the top. He's gonna drive me business out."
- «HTBK» *He points one meaty finger up to the second-floor loft.*
- «Egg_Discord» I look up. What do I see?
- «Writefag4» The ceiling dumbass.
- «Puck» "Can't say as we are, seeing how I don't believe we've met."
- «HTBK» *You see...oh no. Oh no oh no oh no. Nonononono--*
- «Egg_Discord» (THAT'S reassuring.)
- «Puck» (and here I really wanted w4 to be right)
- «HTBK» *Anyone that isn't Egg sees a man in a blue courier's uniform and a flatcap, who has passed his time conversing with a tall bald man with a hooked nose and a long black coat.*
- «Writefag4» (Is it the word gullible.)
- «Puck» (oh my)
- «Egg_Discord» (Guys. Halp)
- «Writefag4» (I've never seen this man before.)
- «Globebutt» (The ceiling-- studded in spikes! It begins to descend slowly toward you as the tavern doors snap shut.)
- «Puck» (dammit globe!)
- «Puck» (where are these two seated?)
- «HTBK» *GM rolls fort against death trap impulse*
- «HTBK» *They are seated up on the second-floor loft, right near the edge.*
- «Puck» (please be a nat 1)
- «Egg_Discord» (Globe, I think you need to lay off the Indiana Jones films)
- «Globebutt» (No way Jitters is gonna quit with her Daring Do!)
- «HTBK» "Spooky ol' bat said 'ered be a couple haffas comin 'round...*
- «Puck» "Actually barkeep, we've got a bone to pick with one of those fellows, mind telling us something about em?"
- «Globebutt» "...Or the spooky old bat?"
- «Egg_Discord» Even if I don't see him, I can sure as hell sense his presence. No way I'd forget that feeling any time soon. It takes everyone bit of effort for me to remain calm.
- «HTBK» "Which one?"
- «Puck» (If you weren't so dang cute globe...)
- «Egg_Discord» Notably, I'm not as frightened as I usually am.
- «HTBK» *And then it hits you, Egg. Some part of you is sensing your master.*
- «Globebutt» (Aw, shit.)
- «Egg_Discord» He is NOT my master.
- «Puck» "Either. Preferably both."
- «HTBK» *Then why are you...calm?*
- «Egg_Discord» Because I'm not going to run away from my problems this time.
- «HTBK» "Well..." the barkeep narrows his eyes and lowers his voice. "Not a spy, are ya?"
- «Egg_Discord» If he tries anything with me, this time, I'm going to kick.
- «Globebutt» (Or maybe it's his therapy pony!)
- «Egg_Discord» His.
- «Egg_Discord» Ass.
- «HTBK» *No. You're going to run into his arms and sing like a canary when he scratches your ears.*
- «Puck» I deadpan at him. "You kidding?"
- «Egg_Discord» Like hell I will.
- «HTBK» "No."
- «HTBK» He deadpans back.
- «Writefag4» I'm confused. I have no idea who these people are or why Egg is so spooked.
- «Puck» I look at my fur and brightly colored hair. "No, I'm not a spy."
- «Writefag4» (Its probably for the best or there would be some kind of outburst from him.)
- «HTBK» "Hmph."
- «HTBK» He places one hand beneath the bar.
- «Puck» *tensing slightly*
- «Globebutt» (He's callin' po-po! Shit, Zenith, run!)
- «Puck» (nothing good usually lives under a bar!)
- «Egg_Discord» (Puck, you fool! He's triggering the alarm!)
- «HTBK» "Dat der's the postman. Got a lot of names, he does. 'Ermes, Mercury, Speed-E Delivery. But whatever you call 'im, he's the one who gets the important mail, to the important people."
- «Globebutt» (Mercury. As in the one who made the Spinach plush? Oh, shit!)
- «Puck» *I nod*
- «Puck» (>dat ancient implication)
- «HTBK» "I dunno where he come from, or why 'e do it, or when 'e started."
- «Writefag4» I look up at egg. "What's the matter?"
- «Egg_Discord» Oh, I've got a special present for him when I get a chance with him. It involves an express delivery of pain.
- «HTBK» "But I know that something as fast as 'e is, shouldn't be crossed."
- «Egg_Discord» I whisper as lowly as I can, "The postman is above us."
- «HTBK» "I 'eard he went to Hong Kong, an' London, an Man'attan within an hour."
- «Writefag4» "Seriously. Hmm."
- «HTBK» "Folks 'round 'ere, don't trust 'im. Thinks 'es an unnatural somethin."
- «Puck» I look up at the old man, a bit incredulous. "Duly noted."
- «HTBK» "Dat answer yer question?"
- «Writefag4» "Hey. Ask if theres a library."
- «HTBK» *The barkeep looks at you curiously, Write.*
- «Globebutt» I look down to Writefag. "Why don't you?"
- «Puck» *glance down at Write*
- «HTBK» "What, can't ask me yisself?"
- «Ewo» I poke at Puck.
- «Puck» (>all these eyes on you write)
- «Writefag4» "Ah. Sorry. You were talking to them."
- «Puck» *look at Ewo* "whats up?"
- «Writefag4» "I there. A library nearby?"
- «Ewo» "I-I've... um... I've decided."
- «HTBK» "There's a place, yeah. Just look for the sign of Archimedes wiff da scroll."
- «HTBK» "Now, Mr. Cloak-and-dagger up there--"
- «Egg_Discord» Seeing as I'm close, I can't help but listen to what Ewo's saying.
- «Puck» Lowers voice "Ah huh, and what did you decide?"
- «HTBK» *He shoots a look up to the loft, only to realize that the man in the black coat has vanished from sight.*
- «HTBK» "...Not sayin nuffin bout him."
- «Writefag4» "Thanks. Thatish direction?" I point towards the east.
- «Ewo» "y-you know..."
- «Egg_Discord» Whatever Ewo's going on about isn't as important as fixing this mess. I get up to go with Write.
- «HTBK» "Hm. Little bit more...that way."
- «HTBK» *He points to the North.*
- «mckinnley» left the chat.
- «Globebutt» "Not even a name?"
- «Writefag4» "Thanks. Must have been seeing things earlier."
- «HTBK» "Not even a name, ye' wee filly."
- «Puck» To the barkeep: "Thanks for the info, maybe we'll stop by again later for a drink." I lead Ewo away a bit
- «HTBK» *The barkeep scratches Globe's back.*
- «Globebutt» (But I'm not a filly!)
- «HTBK» "No go on, back ter ye master."
- «Writefag4» I get my colar choked.
- «Globebutt» (I'm a /mare/!)
- «Writefag4» "Oops."
- «Writefag4» I follow the two who hold my leash.
- «Egg_Discord» "Thanks for the help, mister." I walk off with Globe.
- «Puck» (It was only a little ways)
- «Ewo» "T-the other option wouldn't be a decision..."
- «Puck» "Look, whatever is it, you've got to be happy with it for the rest of your life okay?"
- «Egg_Discord» I give a friendly wave to Barkeep as I leave.
- «Ewo» "I understand..."
- «HTBK» *The barkeeper glares up into the loft, just waiting for the Postman to scram.*
- «Puck» "And what you do mean 'wouldn't be a decision'?"
- «Egg_Discord» Well, at least now I can see how he gets around so easily.
- «Writefag4» I take a quick look up. Does he appear to have anything with him?
- «HTBK» *He's only carrying his mail satchel, Write.*
- «Ewo» "Well... it would just be not doing anything..."
- «Egg_Discord» Globe and I arrive at the library, right where Barkeep said it was. I open the door and look inside. How's the library look?
- «Puck» "A huh, I thought this might be where you were going with this. Like I said, I'm not gonna stop you, but it is a big decision you know?"
- «Ewo» "I-I've been mostly silent for hours for a reason..."
- «Puck» "Valid point I suppose..."
- «Writefag4» I am sick of being leashed to these two.
- «HTBK» *The library is old and dusty, and the architecture suggests that it was pulled from the ancient Greeks. It was up a hill, and by the time you step inside your legs are sore. The main room is a reminder of how it means to go on: rows upon rows of books, arranged in shelves and stacks and simply floating mid-air. It is all presided over by a pair of withered gray mares, both unicorns and probably twins. They preside over their collection with a burning hawk-like glance, and stare daggers at you when you enter.*
- «HTBK» *You need a new master, Slushie.*
- «HTBK» *Ooh, how about Egg?*
- «Writefag4» Eggs a pussy.
- «HTBK» *Bad boy.*
- «Writefag4» (Fuck really bad choice of words there.)
- «Puck» "Hey, I think we've been ditched, shall we continue this as we go?"
- «Ewo» "O-okay..."
- «Puck» "Uhh, write you know where we're going?"
- «Writefag4» I point northish.
- «Puck» We walk!
- «Writefag4» Check the sky. There a sun?
- «HTBK» *No sun. Only cavern roof.*
- «Egg_Discord» I wave to the unicorns as if nothing's wrong and go check the history section.
- «Writefag4» So how is everything lit?
- «Puck» *still walking, following Write* "But, why tell me? Not that I don't think it's good to confide in people, but we've only just met."
- «HTBK» *The curious luminescence in the cobblestones? Or...magic, like everything else.*
- «» ZephyrWF left the chat.
- «Writefag4» You said there were a lot of steps leading to the library. Can I see further now?
- «Ewo» "Well... you're pretty much the only one I really feel comfortable with, out of all these people I just met today..."
- «HTBK» *The history section is set apart from the rest by the busts of ponies and humans, and has shelves upon shelves. Fortunately, it all plays by the DDS.*
- «HTBK» *If you got across to the far side, or slunk around the side.*
- «Writefag4» I guess we go in for now.
- «HTBK» *Roll fort, please.*
- «Egg_Discord» Is there anything on the history of the town? That would be a good place to start.
- «Puck» "Well I guess I'll have to do then eh?" I say jokingly.
- «Globebutt» (Are you going to have me help look?)
- «Puck» (How far was the library?)
- «Egg_Discord» Sure, you can help.
- «Writefag4» This better not be some old librarian fetish.
- «Ewo» (who's rolling?)
- «HTBK» *It's not, Write.*
- «Writefag4» (8)
- «Globebutt» (I think I see where you're taking this.)
- «HTBK» *As you reach the doorway, your hooves momentarily seize until Puck and Ewo pass. It would be wrong to go before the one holding your leash.*
- «HTBK» *Roll PON.*
- «Puck» (I wonder if it's a good thing I'm not paying attention to Write...)
- «Writefag4» (7)
- «HTBK» *There is a shelf marked "Local History"*.
- «Globebutt» (Or not? Huh.)
- «Writefag4» I stop on the threshhold and wait.
- «Puck» (dunno what I would have done about it though...)
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright, Globe. See any books that seem useful to us?"
- «Globebutt» "What am I looking for?"
- «Puck» "Okay, lets see, where did they get off too?" *looks around the library, taking in architecture.*
- «HTBK» *Hm. The GM decides on something new. Globe, call heads or tails.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Something that involves ponies or hidden tunnels in the city."
- «Writefag4» (Also who's holding my leash now.)
- «Puck» (I think Ewo?)
- «Globebutt» (Heads.)
- «Ewo» (Yeah)
- «Egg_Discord» I notice that he's not objecting to being called Globe. This is a promising sign.
- «HTBK» *Good call. While the annoying human continues to forget your name, you do manage to pick out a volume on local history. Namely, "The Founding of Lower Earth".*
- «HTBK» *Aaaw shit.*
- «Writefag4» I look up to Ewo "Can we go in now?"
- «HTBK» *You know Ewo, if you intend to embrace it, you should...embrace it.*
- «Ewo» "Oh... Yeah."
- «Egg_Discord» (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vOBKxUT9Da4#t=71s MFW he's still going by jitters)
- «Writefag4» I automatically lower my voice. "Encyclopedias would probably be best."
- «Egg_Discord» "Good find, Globe! Now, let's take a look at this."
- «Puck» On that note though, I've been thinking on my outbursts in the petshop... "Ewo, aren't you afraid you'd... lose yourself?"
- «HTBK» *Oooh! He said you did good!*
- «Ewo» "A... A little."
- «Globebutt» So? He's not my master. Just feels nice. Nothin' special, though.
- «HTBK» *Meh. He needs to be about 20% specialer.*
- «Egg_Discord» I open the book. What do I find out that's helpful?
- «Puck» We head towards the encyclopedias. "That's kinda got me hung up on all this..."
- «HTBK» *The volume is some 200 pages thick, paperbacked. And to put it simply?*
- «HTBK» *Not only are you not in Kansas; you drove all the way up through Montana and straight into Canada.*
- «Writefag4» I keep an eye open for anything hanging on the walls.
- «Egg_Discord» "Don't forget our deal, Globe. You help me, and once we're done, you get all the coffee you want."
- «Globebutt» (Fuck! How'd we wind up in Alberta!? We need to leave. Now! This is bad juju!)
- «HTBK» *Paintings, Write. Mostly of fictional scenes. Dragonslaying, witchcraft, though come to think of it those might not be so fictional anymore.*
- «Egg_Discord» It's not a good feeling that I have to take advantage of my friend this say, but it's the only say to get him to cooperate.
- «Globebutt» I assume we can look for a table of contents or a glossary, rather than just leaf through it.
- «Writefag4» Any flags or underground consitutions?
- «Globebutt» Assuming Egg doesn't get distracted by any of the stories about witches.
- «Egg_Discord» "Let's see if there's anything in here about magic and turning people into ponies."
- «Puck» I absently handle the squeaky carrot while we walk, keeping an eye out for the others. "I can't deny those feelings were nice, but It felt so... unfamiliar. How are you coping with it?"
- «Globebutt» (Watch as I work my gypsy magic~ Eye of the newt and cinnamon~ Watch as the matter turns to batter: open the portal; jump in~!)
- «Ewo» "I... haven't really gotten any feelings..."
- «Puck» "For that matter, how are you holding up Write?"
- «Writefag4» "I'm trying not to think about it."
- «HTBK» *There is one strange and unfamiliar landscape-style shot of a court of minstrels, sorcerers, and diplomats all moments away from blows. The painting is arranged in such a way as to imply that they are locking horns over a piece of paper that reads "Lower Earth". Seems like this place was born of turmoil*
- «Puck» "Back there in the pet shop I just couldn't control myself... Yeah maybe not thinking about it's a good plan for now..."
- «HTBK» *The final pages of the "Founding" are detailed "The Advent Of the Changing World".*
- «Ewo» "W-well... okay."
- «HTBK» *Write, please roll fort.*
- «Writefag4» Are these encyclopedia's hoof friendly? I try for the index and look in the 'ha' to see if I can find haffa or half-something if his accent was thick.
- «Writefag4» (2)
- «HTBK» (Good.)
- «Egg_Discord» Might as well keep reading on. I'm learning stuff, but nothing of immediate importance.
- «HTBK» *Write, as you wander, you spy another painting, secreted between two others in such a way as to be nearly unnoticed. It is rendered with impeccable, almost eerie accuracy: and it depicts a tall woman with flowing blond hair and snowy white eyes, decked out in a bright red dress.*
- «Puck» "At least until we find everyone else. Where -are- they anyway?"
- «HTBK» *In other words: your stripper.*
- «Writefag4» Title?
- «HTBK» *It is entitled "The Seer". Hm.*
- «HTBK» *The encyclopedia is not built for hooves. Better get one of the others.*
- «HTBK» *Egg.
- «HTBK» *The Advent of the Changing Times is presented as dully as any other history text. A shame, given its subject matter.*
- «Writefag4» "Guys come over and help a little. Lets see if we can find anything on Haffas. Or The Seer.
- «Egg_Discord» Time to skip a few chapters. Is there anything that relates to ponies?
- «Globebutt» What's the jist of it? And do we hear Write, or is he being quiet like a good library patron?
- «Puck» " 'The Seer'? Where'd you get that?"
- «Puck» (for that matter, am I?)
- «Writefag4» I hook a hoof at the painting.
- «Ewo» I come over to Write and flip through the encyclopedia until he gets to "haffas", if it's in there
- «Puck» "Oh." *whistles* "Nice."
- «Writefag4» "I kind of remember her from the night before."
- «Puck» "What really? Hot damn."
- «HTBK» *"As time wore on, the places above began to change dramatically, as customs and orders were toppled and upturned; and in this way the magic of Handling came to those above. This would, in time, yield the creation of practical transmut--*
- «HTBK» *Oh, great. Egg, someone smudged the page.*
- «Puck» (Sweetie: Oh come on!)
- «Globebutt» (How much, how badly?)
- «Egg_Discord» Figures. I should've known someone would try to hide the truth. I put the book back and, having heard Write with my ears, I head over to where the others are with Globe.
- «HTBK» *"Haffa", the encyclopedia informs you, is a slang term for someone who has "Survived a poorly-performed handling, or is otherwise stuck beteween states of existence."*
- «Puck» I go over to where Ewo is looking through pages and read over her shoulder.
- «Writefag4» "Handling next."
- «HTBK» *Enough to make reading impractical. Lucky for you it was nearly at the end of the book.*
- «Egg_Discord» Once I see the painting, my jaw instantly drops. "That's her! That's the stripper that was at our party!"
- «Ewo» I flip to handling
- «Globebutt» Can I roll fort to recognize?
- «Puck» *excitedly fidgeting in place*
- «HTBK» *Roll as you wish, Globe*
- «Globebutt» (3.)
- «Globebutt» has deleted a photo.
- «HTBK» *For a moment, you can recall her. The woman in red, who had shown up without being invited. She'd given you something, she'd...scratched your ears? No, she'd...aaaaagh, where's Master?*
- «Egg_Discord» I notice Globe struggling, and it's pretty easy to guess what's going on. "Come one, Globe. Think really hard. That woman was at our party last night."
- «Globebutt» (Wasn't it the night /before/ last?)
- «Puck» *turns* "oh hey, there you all are."
- «Globebutt» (I thought we blew up the brewery last night.)
- «Globebutt» "I remember her! I just... don't remember... what she did."
- «Egg_Discord» (Whatever.)
- «Egg_Discord» "What do you remember about her, exactly?"
- «Writefag4» I really want those pages to turn.
- «HTBK» *"Handling.". Oooh dear. "Handling, in the common vernacular, is the art of shaping the building blocks of life on a simple or complex level through the use of applied magic or sufficiently advanced science (SEE: Handling, Theoretical). Its practice is tightly regulated, but there is a strong black market based around it. Handlers, rule of thumb, are twitchy, inconsistent, and generally display signs of schizophrenia. They often practice their craft on themselves when they grow tired of their current species. While it is unknown if they can completely defy Odessa's Law, they do seem to maintain states of comparative sanity...*
- «Globebutt» (I think a Talent roll is in order, W4. I'd just make it, were I you.)
- «HTBK» (I *told you* there was shitloads of backstory!)
- «HTBK» (I TOLD YOU!)
- «Puck» "remember how that barkeep called me and Egg 'haffas'? Well a haffa is apparently someone who 'Survived a poorly-performed handling, or is otherwise stuck beteween states of existence.' "
- «Writefag4» (2)
- «Globebutt» "She just showed up there! And... did something... to me... I think."
- «Globebutt» (Is that entry read aloud, or do I see it?)
- «Egg_Discord» "What exactly did she do TO you?"
- «HTBK» *She'd touch your...marehood? No, no, you didn't have a...*
- «HTBK» *...*
- «HTBK» *And at this point, lucidity hits.*
- «Globebutt» "...She took my dick!"
- «Globebutt» "That bitch took my fucking dick!"
- «Puck» "Vat."
- «HTBK» *Vat.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Wat."
- «Writefag4» "Shhh. Library."
- «Puck» *stares all around*
- «HTBK» *The unicorns are shooting you death glares.*
- «HTBK» *...Wait a second.*
- «Globebutt» I start sobbing. (Softly, for Mas... for Write's sake.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Meanwhile, there's someone way in the back of the library with a look that screams "Me Gusta")
- «HTBK» *You're wearing a collar.*
- «HTBK» *You called him Master.*
- «HTBK» *You slipped.*
- «Puck» *in hushed tones* "You can't hush a man who's had his dick taken!"
- «HTBK» *Oh God, oh man. Oh God, oh man. Oh god, oh man!*
- «Globebutt» Practically a whisper: "What happened? What the fucking hell happened?"
- «Puck» "You feeling okay there Globe?"
- «Globebutt» "No."
- «Puck» "Oh."
- «Egg_Discord» "Take it easy, Globe," I say to him. "It's gonna be alright. You had a loss of judgement there."
- «Writefag4» Jesus this book. I'm so close.
- «HTBK» *What do you read next?*
- «Puck» I stand awkwardly.
- «Egg_Discord» "Globe, while you're clear headed, let me tell you something I think you need to hear."
- «Egg_Discord» (Here I go, repeating myself)
- «Writefag4» I'd turn the page to see the rest of the entry. I want to learn more about handling regulation.
- «Writefag4» But hooves.
- «Puck» I'll notice his troubles.
- «Globebutt» (You could try nudging it with your horn.)
- «HTBK» *It's easier to turn one than it is to turn a bunch.*
- «Puck» Don't think I can help globe right now.
- «Egg_Discord» "Globe? Can you listen to me for a moment?"
- «Writefag4» (I feel bad about making you write encyclopedia entries.)
- «Puck» (I think, as a GM, this is enjoyable. Could be wrong.)
- «Globebutt» I'm spread out on the floor, breathing heavily. "I'm, I'm-I'm listening."
- «Puck» *turns page for write*
- «Puck» (the listing for
- «Egg_Discord» "Look, about what happened last night. I'm sorry. You were right. Blowing up the vat and the pills did absolutely nothing. Maybe if I had listened to you, we wouldn't be here in as big of a mess as we are. Do you think you can forgive me for being such an idiot?"
- «Puck» (the listing for "handling: theoretical" should be right after "Handling" shouldn't it?)
- «Globebutt» (Is it hard to remember last night, now I remember everything else, HT?)
- «Writefag4» Seriously I want to crack open these encyclopedias like a wikipeidia hopper.
- «Puck» (hehehee, I know -that- feel)
- «Writefag4» (Seer, Hermes, Surface, (Town name), Dark Horse)
- «HTBK» (You can remember last night.)
- «HTBK» (GM is fluffin.)
- «Puck» (Delicious delicious fluff n' stuff)
- «Globebutt» I shake my head slowly, still breathing heavily. "I don't know, Egg. I know I'm gonna try. That's all I can say, though. That's really all I can say."
- «Globebutt» I sigh, and start breathing more normally. I get up on all fours.
- «HTBK» (Write?)
- «HTBK» (I hate you.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Thanks. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make it up to you."
- «Writefag4» (Yeah. I kind of figured.)
- «Puck» (The one you love to hate?)
- «Egg_Discord» "Before we go, do me a quick favor."
- «Globebutt» "...Wait. Where are we going, first?"
- «Writefag4» (Thats the thing about librarys in campaigns. They ruin things)
- «HTBK» (Related articles:)
- «Egg_Discord» "Well, nowhere just yet. I meant that I wanted you to do me this favor before we left the library."
- «Puck» (unless we're shooed out by a certain pair of librarians)
- «HTBK» (I broke down crying when I wrote these words.)
- «Puck» (There there, mr GM)
- «Puck» (Your punishment for making such a good story is having to make more of it.)
- «HTBK» (Puck, you know how to make me blush.)
- «Globebutt» (We all have our own special ways of fucking with each others' emotions.)
- «Writefag4» (Honestly its probably better than my idea that the goverment was secretly creating ponies in the hopes to get unicorns or alicorns that could give them an edge worldwide.)
- «HTBK» **Handling, because of the immense difficulty in practicing it, is a distinctly rare form of magic; and because of its immense potential for abuse, it is feared and regulated by the Magician's Circle. Handlers, owing to their ability to completely alter their bodies on a whim, are incredibly to track, via supernatural or mundane means. The most outstanding case of Handling abuse was the London 1812 case, which was used as the motivation for the formation of many modern witch-hunting organizations; but while open persecution died down after the Advent of the Changing Times, Handlers are still reviled and ostracized by most communities.

- «Writefag4» "Not in a library!" I wispershout.
- «Globebutt» I blink. "How? Where? ...Why?"
- «Writefag4» "I'm pretty sure we were illegally handled. These people. Ponies. Ponies and people seem nice enough.
- «Writefag4» I don't think its some huge consparacy like Egg thought.
- «Writefag4» "I think its that one guy smuggling us to make a quick buck."
- «Egg_Discord» "Because I fucked up big time, alright? I deserve to get hit for what I did back there, and you have every right to hate me right now. How about bucking my chest, so that no one sees the marks?"
- «Writefag4» "They probably have experts here on how to deal with this sort of thing."
- «HTBK» *You wouldn't mind bucking Egg...*
- «Globebutt» (Why couldn't you say the back or the butt? Can't tell you to "bend over", this way.)

- «Egg_Discord» "How about you buck me in the ass?"
- «Puck» (I lol'd)
- «Egg_Discord» "Fitting, since I've acted like one, recently"
- «HTBK» *Sproing*
- «Puck» (well played off though)
- «Globebutt» "...Sure. Turn around."
- «Writefag4» "Guys!" I whispershout.
- «Egg_Discord» I do as he says, facing my rear towards him
- «Globebutt» I turn around and use my hind legs to kick his ass.
- «Puck» (I lol'd again)
- «Puck» (I'll keep looking through the encyclopedia if you've got more)
- «Globebutt» Then I turn to look at Write.
- «Writefag4» "I turn to Ewo and puck. Okay. What do you two think?"
- «HTBK» (Only the related articles. And the 1812 thing. and the AAAAAAAAAAAAA)
- «Egg_Discord» The impact knocks me to the ground. It hurts like hell, but I deserve it. "Thanks, Globe. Now let's go check on the others."
- «Globebutt» (Or wait. Did I hear him? Hmm.)
- «HTBK» (As much as you want to read.)
- «Puck» "It seems like a solid plan, but the barkeep seemed pretty afraid of those two/"

- «Globebutt» "Do you think we could take my leash and collar off before we do?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright." I oblige as I take them off and pocket them.
- «Writefag4» "I agree. I want this off. Even if you guys aren't I'm turning myself in."
- «Puck» "Maybe if we go to someone in charge? Like a mayor or something?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Wait, WHAT are you doing?" I say in a hushed tone.
- «HTBK» *Even as it falls off, it sends a little shudder through you. It feels like losing a small piece of yourself...*
- «Globebutt» It probably wasn't important.
- «Egg_Discord» "I've risked my ass to get you back to normal and now you're saying you WANT to stay this way?"
- «Puck» *shrug, takes off Writes collar*
- «Egg_Discord» All said in a hushed tone, no less
- «Writefag4» "You've been to busy getting kicked. I don't think these people are the ones who did this."
- «Writefag4» "Just that one guy. Probably to sell us on the market."
- «Egg_Discord» "You mean the postman?"
- «Puck» "seems likely." *drums fingers along collar.*
- «Writefag4» "Yeah. Maybe to that guy in the cloak. We tell someone. Maybe they catch him maybe they don't but they probably know a lot better than we do how to fix it."
- «Egg_Discord» I try to argue this, but I can't think of a valid reason for why this assumption is wrong.
- «Puck» *leans in to Ewo* "uhh, would you mind taking this collar away from me? I think I shouldn't be holding it..."
- «Egg_Discord» *sigh* "I don't want to say it, but you're right. We don't know anything about what we're dealing with, so we might as well go to someone who does. What's the plan, then?"
- «Writefag4» "Well if you guys are with me I'd like to take it a step further."
- «Globebutt» "What are you suggesting?"
- «HTBK» *Ewo, if you're going to...stay...there's a spare collar now. Just saying.*
- «Egg_Discord» I've got a wary look on my face. I'm not sure I like where this is going.
- «Writefag4» "In that we find someone offical. As soon as we let this slip I would bet its going to be loud."
- «Writefag4» "Our best chance to trap the guy would be to leave someone outside the tavern while somoene else found some kind of law enforcement.
- «Puck» (If I can assume she's just gonna stare at me, this may become a problem for me)
- «Egg_Discord» "...Go on." Seems I was wrong. I REALLY like where this is going.
- «Writefag4» "Otherwise he'll probably panic and run."
- «Egg_Discord» "...I'll do it."
- «Egg_Discord» "I'll distract him."
- «Writefag4» "You don't need to distract him just if he's leaves follow him.
- «Globebutt» "...Are you sure that's the best idea for you, Egg?"
- «Writefag4» "If we can tell whatever kind of police are down here where he is it makes it that much more likely they catch him."
- «Puck» (fort roll: 8, shit, I put on the collar)
- «Writefag4» "We can tie up other loose ends like this Seer later."
- «Egg_Discord» "I've been thinking about it, and... This guy has messed with my friends, my life, and my head. This is personal to me. If he goes down, I want to be the one to do it."
- «HTBK» (Puck, why did you do tha--okay, sure.)
- «HTBK» (Roll for PON?)
- «Puck» (no one took it from me...)
- «Puck» (shit)
- «Writefag4» "Egg. This guy. I don't think you should."
- «HTBK» (Nice proactivity.)
- «Puck» "Gauise."
- «HTBK» *click*
- «Globebutt» (Reupload that damn screenpunch.)
- «HTBK» *Puck was at 5.9. As the collar click around his neck, he drops to all fours...*
- «Puck» (it was a 10)
- «Writefag4» "I want you, Ewo, and Globe to find the police or police equivalent."
- «Egg_Discord» "...Fine. I won't try anything with him. I'm definitely the most vulnerable to him. Besides, I know what he looks like. They'll need an eye account."
- «Globebutt» "...Puck?"
- «Puck» "uhhh"
- «Writefag4» "Puck and I will watch."
- «Puck» "It was just so pretty..."
- «Egg_Discord» "Got it. And if he runs, Write...?"
- «Puck» (and I failed my fort by 4)
- «Writefag4» "If whoever you find wont..."
- «Globebutt» I facehoof.
- «Writefag4» "Puck? Oh no. Okay. We can still get this."
- «HTBK» *A bolt of pain shoots up your spine, Puck, as your hands slowly take on a lumpy, rounded shape...*
- «Egg_Discord» I lean in close to Write. "Let him taste Hell."
- «Writefag4» "Ewo. If they won't pay attention to you. Show them your drivers licence. It'll be hard to ignore an Old world document like that.
- «Writefag4» And you're the only one who looks mostly the same.
- «HTBK» *Within seconds, you are small yellow pone. With a lightbulb cutie mark.*
- «Writefag4» (Ewo is the most human right? Or is that Egg?)
- «HTBK» *Your head feels...fuzzy.*
- «Egg_Discord» (Ewo)
- «HTBK» (Ewo.)
- «Globebutt» (Probably all full of tungsten coils!)
- «Puck» http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_lJ2bGltE
- «Writefag4» "I bet that will convince them."
- «HTBK» *The GM wonders if his plot is over-constructed when the players can be "Unravelling the conspiracy" and still only be at the tip of the iceberg.*
- «Puck» (Tungsten coils and empty space)
- «Writefag4» "Puck you're with me."
- «Puck» "urgh, okay..."
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright then. Ewo, Globe. Let's go."
- «Puck» *tail feels funny*
- «Writefag4» "You three know what you're doing?"
- «Globebutt» I look from Write to Puck and back. "I'm not sure I do. I think I got distracted."
- «Egg_Discord» "Find the officials, bring them over to the postman."
- «Puck» "Right, and me and write will... uhh...."
- «Writefag4» "Right. If we're not there look around. I want to get this guy but I don't want to walk into a trap either. If he leaves public eye we'll drop him."
- «Puck» "yeah, that!"
- «Writefag4» "Puck you and I are together. Our story is Master lost something and I'm going to find it. You're one of master's other pets but decided to come with me."
- «Egg_Discord» "Got it, Write. Is everyone clear on the plan?"
- «Puck» "Um, okay"
- «Writefag4» "We split up to cover ground. Hopefully he doesn't recognise you"
- «Globebutt» (Put a comma in, Write; I fast parse "Puck, you" as "Puck, you"; "Puck you" reads as "Fuck you", though!)
- «Writefag4» (Can't be bothered with commas. Never actually learned to use them properly. They are a bastard punctuation to me.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Let's go." I say to the other two as we take off.
- «Globebutt» (I'm not, but I imagine Globebutt is. And if need be, he can ask-- You're dead to me, Write.)
- «HTBK» >Writefag
- «HTBK» >Can't use commas
- «HTBK» >What the fuck am I reading
- «Puck» (HT, did I grow wings stubs back at the pet shop? I can't remember...)
- «Writefag4» (I'm always afraid I'm using them wrong. I just throw them in randomly.)
- «HTBK» (nnnup. You are lightbulb pone.)
- «Puck» (no I just, throw them in randomly)
- «Globebutt» (I wish I knew, but the punctuation's too much of a train wreck to tell! And I thought you were growing wings there, Puck. He also said your coat was purple, though.)
- «Writefag4» I suppose we just leave these books on the floor. We can apologize later.
- «HTBK» (If I said that, it was a mistype brought about exhaustion on my part.)
- «Puck» (okay, thought that was the case.)
- «Egg_Discord» Are there any buildings here that look like a police station?
- «HTBK» )I was pretty blasted for a few minutes there.)
- «Writefag4» (I know how you could easily find one.)
- «HTBK» (No, WRite.)
- «Puck» I stick with Write.
- «Puck» (Wait, does my collar still have it's lease attached?)
- «Globebutt» (We could try committing a crime and seeing who comes to arrest us!)
- «Puck» (*leash)
- «HTBK» *As you descend the path back to the square, there is a building marked "Lower Earth Constabulary 31".*
- «Writefag4» (I was going to say tell someone you found a lost wallet. Where could I turn this in.)
- «Writefag4» We head back to the tavern.
- «Egg_Discord» "That way, folks!" I point towards the constabulary
- «Puck» (also, I'm feeling that my pants and shirt are probably rather a hindrance at this point.)
- «HTBK» (You don't say.)
- «Globebutt» (Probably just collapsed around you.)
- «Puck» Guess I'll grab my wallet from my pocket.
- «Globebutt» (You sure you just left 'em behind, though? With your wallet, keys, and squeaky rubber carrot?)
- «Puck» Oh wait.
- «Puck» Shit.
- «HTBK» *Also, Puck, if you hadn't gathered before, you seem to have exchanged your genitals.*
- «Puck» That Carrot.
- «HTBK» *...Squeaky rubber carrot.*
- «HTBK» *need carrot.*
- «HTBK» *Must get carrot.*
- «Puck» (I did note that)
- «Puck» Ffffffff- I have but one mouth!
- «HTBK» *Use it for the carrot.*
- «HTBK» *So worth it.*
- «Egg_Discord» I lead the other two to the station. Is there anyone working inside?
- «Puck» Wallet, keys, or carrot....
- «Writefag4» (Does that make me the only male?)
- «Egg_Discord» (Yes)
- «Writefag4» I assume we reach the tavern about when they reach the constabulary.
- «Puck» *push clothing under book stand, hope it stays unseen, exit library with carrot in mouth*
- «HTBK» *Write, you are in fact the only mare.*
- «Globebutt» (You've got another hole you could sti... Aheck. Gacaugh. Harumph.)
- «HTBK» *Refresh sugah daddy's memory. Where errybody at?*
- «Writefag4» (You mean Stallion.)
- «HTBK» *Stallion. Thank you.*
- «Globebutt» (I'm with Egg, I assume.)
- «HTBK» *I dread the day we get 6 stallions and one mare.*
- «Puck» I run after Write to catch up.
- «HTBK» *Poor girl will be dead by midnight.*
- «Egg_Discord» Globe, Ewo and I are at the Constabulary
- «Writefag4» Puck and I at the tavern. Egg, Globe, and Ewo are regarding the constabulary.
- «HTBK» *They are doing it wrong.*
- «Egg_Discord» (T'would be a truly noble death for a noble cause)
- «Puck» Um, running as naked female pone with carrot in mouth feels rather... odd.
- «Writefag4» (Desprate times HTBK.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Who's doing it wrong?)
- «HTBK» *No it doesn't. Where else would you keep your carrot?*
- «HTBK» *Except up...there...*
- «Globebutt» (You should have asked for someone else to help you carry your stuff, Puck.)
- «Puck» (hey now)
- «Egg_Discord» Is there anyone working inside the station?
- «Puck» I was in a rush
- «Puck» (It'll be there. Probably)
- «HTBK» *"The Constabulary" is a good indicator of the contents of the building. It is a number of humans, and ponies, and a few dogs and even one monkey, all of whom are scattered about a stately office building. The uniform seems to be a red jacket over a blue one-piece, which makes them look a bit like they're in their undaroos. Of course, they have belts to offset that.*
- «Writefag4» I stride into the tavern glancing up before aproaching the barkeeper.
- «Globebutt» >examine monkey
- «HTBK» *The clerk is a young human female. White skin, brown hair, blue eyes. Yesterday, she would've been attractive.*
- «HTBK» *It's a monkey in a fez, who's perched on the hatstand by the door.*
- «Writefag4» (Damn it. You're going to get distracted. I just know it.)
- «Globebutt» >examine fez
- «Egg_Discord» What do you mean? She's still attractive, right?
- «Puck» I'm panting past my toy as I catch up to Write
- «HTBK» *It's a fez!*
- «HTBK» *She...should be.*
- «HTBK» *...why isn't she?*
- «HTBK» *...Oh God.*
- «Egg_Discord» You're kidding.
- «HTBK» *No kidding.*
- «HTBK» *The barkeeper looks down at you, Write.*
- «HTBK» "..."
- «Egg_Discord» You have got to be fucking kidding me.
- «HTBK» *He raises an eyebrow.*
- «Globebutt» (>no hooves)
- «Writefag4» (When I said look up I mean glance at the 2nd floor.)
- «HTBK» *No. You just...nope. Not doin it for ya.*
- «HTBK» *The postman is sorting through his mail, all by himself.*
- «Egg_Discord» I get the attention of the clerk.
- «Writefag4» "Sorry to be back so soon. When we got to the library master realised he didn't have his wallet anymore. Did we by any chance leave it here?"
- «HTBK» *The barkeeper frowns, noting your lack of collar.*
- «HTBK» "Maybe, don't think so..."
- «Writefag4» "We split up briefly to save time."
- «HTBK» *He leans over the bar and scratches your nose.*
- «HTBK» "Lost your collar, now?"
- «Writefag4» "Didn't want it to get tangled. I'm a bit helpless when it does that."
- «HTBK» "Oh...well, come on up here and we'll see what we can find."
- «Puck» (nice quick thinking)
- «Writefag4» Do I notice the man up there or not up there.
- «HTBK» *You can see him. And he sees you. And he's...watching you.*
- «HTBK» *The clerk looks at you, Egg, and does a poor job of concealing her surprise."
- «HTBK» "Well, hello..."
- «Puck» I whisper "uhm, Wight? I weft shome shtuff in the wibrary wiff my pants..."
- «Writefag4» "Um. I step back and take a hop onto a stool and then onto the counter."
- «HTBK» "Aww, lookitchu."
- «Writefag4» "It'll be fine. We're meeting up with master there later."
- «HTBK» *The barkeep scratches under your chin.*
- «HTBK» "Aren't you a clever boy?"
- «Writefag4» "So? Any wallet? Oooh."
- «HTBK» *Roll fort.*
- «Egg_Discord» "I'd like to report multiple cases of Handling."
- «Writefag4» (2)
- «Puck» >not jelly, not jelly, not jelly, not jelly<
- «HTBK» *Very good.*
- «HTBK» "Ah, yes you are."
- «Puck» >fuck<
- «HTBK» *He spares a look for Puck and raps the bartop.*
- «HTBK» "You too, now."
- «HTBK» *The officer raises her eyebrows.*
- «HTBK» "Handling...*illegal* handling, I presume?"
- «Writefag4» "Thanks. He doesn't usually let me go like this but I try my best when I'm on my own.
- «Puck» I glance left and right, then make the jump up.
- «Egg_Discord» "You'd be correct, ma'am."
- «HTBK» "Ah, yerra good boy." He scratches Puck's ears, roll fort.
- «HTBK» "Now, what does he have in it?"
- «Puck» (okay dice....)
- «Globebutt» I head up to the counter. "I sure don't remember authorizing any handling, at the least."
- «Puck» (5 and a 6)
- «Puck» (Maybe I shouldn't have dont that with my fort....)
- «Puck» (lol)
- «Writefag4» I ponder for a moment. "I'm not really too sure. I know it has a picture of us in it but beyond that."
- «Egg_Discord» "Neither do I."
- «HTBK» *Ooooh. That sends shudders all through you, Bright. He's just so...firm.*
- «HTBK» *She leans back, as if she's afraid you might be contagious.
- «Writefag4» "Its kind of light brownish. I guess thats rather typical though. Picture would be a giveaway though."
- «HTBK» "You're saying you've been...handled?"
- «Globebutt» "And I'm pretty sure none of our other friends do, either."
- «HTBK» "Hm. Lesschekkit..."
- «HTBK» *The barkeeper ducks below the counter.*
- «Globebutt» "As best as we can tell, ma'am."
- «Egg_Discord» "Exactly what I'm saying, ma'am." My reaction at her is less than amused.
- «Writefag4» I hop down. Trying to glance up in midjump before looking to the ground again.
- «HTBK» "..." The officer blinks and cocks her head. Naturally, the attention of everyone in the building is on you, now. "Can you...describe the circumstances?"*
- «Globebutt» "Certainly, but."
- «Egg_Discord» But what?
- «HTBK» *The postman is still up there, Write. He yawns and stretches his arms.*
- «Globebutt» "Normally, I'd ask if there were somewhere to sit down."
- «HTBK» *She taps the desk.*
- «HTBK» "Up, girl."
- «Globebutt» I sigh. "Boy, if you please."
- «Writefag4» "Find anything?"
- «HTBK» "...Oh, This *is* serious."
- «Egg_Discord» "As a matter of fact, he's turned all but one of us into mares."
- «HTBK» "You...know who handled you? Hm."
- «HTBK» "Descriptions, please."
- «Globebutt» (I fly up on the counter, regardless.)
- «Egg_Discord» "He dresses like a postman. Bald, blue eyes."
- «HTBK» "Wait...waitwaitwait."
- «Egg_Discord» "Usually pretends to be employed by the post office."
- «HTBK» "Mustache?"
- «HTBK» "Kindly demeanor, generic voice?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Yeah, that's the one."
- «HTBK» "..."
- «Egg_Discord» "Is there something wrong?"
- «HTBK» "You're saying that The Postman, capital T capital P, Handled you."
- «Puck» (aaaaand we're fucked)
- «Globebutt» "I'm not sure either of us are quite certain," I chime in. "He played a part in this, though, to be sure."
- «Puck» (good non-committal answer)
- «Egg_Discord» (We doomed. We're so doomed)
- «Puck» (I know I am... but I think that was is the first time that my choice of 4 in fort had come back to bite me)
- «Writefag4» (You got once ace left.)
- «Puck» (a fluffy belly?)
- «HTBK» "Sir, that..."
- «HTBK» "That can't be right, sir."
- «Writefag4» "Sir? If you're mixing something up back there I'm afraid we can't take it."
- «HTBK» *She blinks, several times.*
- «Puck» (I could try....)
- «Writefag4» "Not allowed to accept gifts from strangers and all. I'm sure if we find it though we'll be back later."
- «HTBK» "Oh, no. Just looking around...got no wallet, sorry."
- «Writefag4» "Said this place had a nice atmosphere aside from well..."
- «Egg_Discord» "What are you talking about?"
- «Writefag4» I mouth 'you know who' to him.
- «HTBK» *The constable clerk slowly shakes her head no.*
- «O-O-T-N» left the chat.
- «HTBK» "That's...impossible. The Postman isn't a...handler, he's just...the Postman."
- «Puck» "um, Sir? May I have some water?"
- «Egg_Discord» "...What?"
- «Writefag4» (Play it. Play it now!)
- «HTBK» *From behind the bar, he chuckles.*
- «HTBK» "Alright, can't say no to you."
- «HTBK» *The barkeeper pours a dish of water and sets it on the bar.*
- «HTBK» "...The postman, sir."
- «HTBK» "He's...not a handler."
- «Egg_Discord» I say that with the most deadpan look any half human/pony hybrid has ever given
- «Globebutt» I look down at Egg from the counter. "Think she says it wasn't him."
- «Writefag4» (Or is Ewo not there?)
- «Puck» *stares at it for a moment....* >but I'm thirsty....< *drinks*
- «Globebutt» (Or, over to Egg? Fuck, iunno.)
- «Egg_Discord» "So if he's not a handler, how come he showed up outside of my door, feeding me roses while stroking my hair and calling me a good girl? While I was still human."
- «HTBK» *The barkeep chuckles and pats your back, Puck.*
- «HTBK» "Good girl..."
- «HTBK» "..."
- «HTBK» *The clerk makes a perfect "wat" face.*
- «Writefag4» (Ewo we need you!)
- «Puck» (I had set down my carrot on the counter btw)
- «HTBK» "...Sir, that's the creepiest thing I've ever heard."
- «Egg_Discord» "YOu know what's creepier? Having that happen to me!"
- «Globebutt» "We've had a rough couple of days."
- «Writefag4» (Can somone play his ace for him?)
- «HTBK» "And...wait, that doesn't make him a handler. That just makes him a pervert."
- «HTBK» "..."
- «Puck» (what was the ace again?)
- «Writefag4» (Headdesk)
- «Globebutt» (Photo ID, looks similar.)
- «Puck» (right)
- «HTBK» "So. You...think he's a...handler."
- «HTBK» "...Hm."
- «HTBK» "I'll phone it in, I guess. See if there's anyone who knows where he is."
- «Writefag4» (I probably shouldn't say more.)
- «Egg_Discord» "Oh, we can tell you where he is right now."
- «Writefag4» (My character would be blurting it out if he was there.)
- «Puck» (you should stop me from failing more fort checks)
- «HTBK» *back at the bar, the postman rises and starts down the stairs.*
- «HTBK» "Oh? Where?"
- «Egg_Discord» "At the tavern."
- «HTBK» "...Which one?"
- «Writefag4» "We should get going though. We still have ground to cover."
- «Globebutt» (Could we try to stop in the next 15 minutes?)
- «Egg_Discord» (which one?)
- «HTBK» (There's a lotta taverns in the world.)
- «HTBK» (The Staggering Stallion.)
- «Egg_Discord» "The one here in town."
- «Egg_Discord» "The Staggering Stallion"
- «HTBK» "There's a...lot of those, sir."
- «HTBK» "Oh, that one."
- «HTBK» (Sure, Globe.)
- «HTBK» *She narrows her eyes.*
- «Puck» "Oh, uh, yeah, alright. Thank you for the water." *grabs squeaky carrot*
- «HTBK» "That's...convenient."
- «HTBK» *Eeeeee it squeaks!*
- «Egg_Discord» "Yeah, I know. Just our luck, huh?"
- «Puck» >must. Not. Squeak.<
- «Globebutt» (But it does!)
- «Writefag4» "Lets go. Otherwise master won't let us help out like this again."
- «HTBK» "That's, uh...all, sir. I suggest seeing the nearest doctor, they can refer you to a specialist to deal with the Handling. Whoever did this is gonna pay hell."
- «Egg_Discord» Let's hope sarcasm isn't in her vernaculary.
- «Puck» (I know it! But I'm trying to avoid thinking about it!)
- «HTBK» *MUST. SQUEAK.*
- «Puck» (FFUUUU-)
- «Globebutt» "Could you direct us to one, please, ma'am? We're not from around here."
- «HTBK» *She begins tapping a quill pin on a piece of paper on the desk.*
- «Writefag4» (Fuck he's escaping to the side.)
- «Puck» (Double Sevens, awwww yeah!)
- «HTBK» "There's a clinic and ferrier on the square."
- «Writefag4» Is he escaping to the side.
- «Writefag4» ?
- «Egg_Discord» "Alright. Thank you very much, ma'am."
- «Puck» (the PON scale is the slipperiest slope....)
- «Globebutt» I nod and jump off, turning around then to see the desk. "Thank you."
- «HTBK» *Puck, the squeaking of the toy in your mouth is heavenly. You *belong* with this toy, and squeaking it is the greatest fun you've ever had. God, you love Master for giving it to you...*
- «Egg_Discord» (I gotta ask. What the hell is my pony's special talent supposed to be, anyway.)
- «Writefag4» (Nobody knows. Trying to figure it out for other writefag.)
- «HTBK» (Luring travellers into swamps and drowning them.)
- «Globebutt» http://youtu.be/tSdSemAMzdY egg's talent
- «Puck» (mine is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2_lJ2bGltE )
- «Egg_Discord» "Good bye, ma'am." I say as we exit, ready to meet up with the others.
- «Writefag4» Seriously though. Is the Postman getting away?
- «HTBK» *the postman is simply going for the door. He stops at the bar to pay his tab.*
- «HTBK» *For a moment, he's approaching--and then he's *right on top of you*.*
- «O-O-T-N» joined the chat.
- «Egg_Discord» (Hardy Har har)
- «O-O-T-N» (DANGIT INTERNET WHY. What did I miss?)
- «Writefag4» "If we do not hurry we will be late. Put down that stupid carrot."
- «Globebutt» ( http://youtu.be/tSdSemAMzdY egg's special talent!)
- «HTBK» *At your sudden outburst, Write, the postman raises an eyebrow.*
- «Puck» (what PON am I at now HT? 7.x? 8.x?)
- «HTBK» (8.2)
- «Globebutt» (I'm curious, too.)
- «HTBK» "Careful there, now. Master's gonna wait for you."
- «Egg_Discord» "Let's hurry back to the others," I say as the three of us run for the tavern
- «HTBK» (Globe, you are 6.9.)
- «Puck» "I'll be qwuiet..."
- «Globebutt» (Shit, I thought I was a few points lower than that.)
- «Writefag4» "Sorry sir. He's just expecting us to meet him I don't want to get slown down. Don't want to dissapoint him."
- «Writefag4» "I like to think I do well on these trips."
- «HTBK» *The postman does not presume to touch you, Write; for he is too busy with his exchange. The barkeeper regards him the same way George Wallace would regard Terry Crews,*
- «HTBK» "He'll understand. Run along, now."
- «HTBK» *With a knowing smile, he turns and makes for the door.*
- «Writefag4» (All according to Kekaku)
- «Writefag4» We happen to be going in the same direction.
- «Egg_Discord» As we get near, I can see the postman exiting. There is NO way in hell he's getting out of here!"
- «HTBK» *Egg, when you move, several officers are filing out of the station. As you pull into the square, The Postman is halfway in the doorway.
- «Egg_Discord» "Officers! Follow me! This way!" I shout as I run with them.
- «Puck» I'm following Write quietly. Well, mostly *....squeeek*
- «HTBK» *The postman, not wanting to interrupt a police chase, patiently waits in the doorway for you all to past.*
- «HTBK» *HA HA HA IT STILL SQUEAKS*
- «HTBK» *THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER*
- «Puck» (I KNOW RIGHT?!?!)
- «Globebutt» (HT, you bastard.)
- «Egg_Discord» I make a beeline for The Postman, ready to throw his fucker in the slammer.
- «Globebutt» I'm obliged to make sure Egg doesn't do something too horribly stupid, so I keep him within eyesight, at least.
- «Globebutt» s/something/anything
- «Egg_Discord» "That's him, officers!" I yell as I point to him.
- «HTBK» *The officers, six in all, match pace with you. Hearing that one of *the* guys is doing something horrible behind the scenes lends urgency, I suppose. They form a circle around him.*
- «HTBK» *The Postman blinks. Twice.*
- «HTBK» "..."
- «Puck» (fun fact, I have a tiny sqeaky chicken that help me sound out how I wooud should wiff shometing in mah mouff)
- «HTBK» "What?"
- «HTBK» (Smooth, Puck.)
- «Globebutt» (Pffftlbl.)
- «Egg_Discord» I give the creep the cockiest grin I've ever given anyone in my life. Game over, you bastard.
- «HTBK» "...I think there's been a mistake?"
- «Writefag4» I turn to the Bartender. "I'm sorry about this."
- «HTBK» *The officer in charge--a unicorn, strangely enough--steps forward.*
- «Egg_Discord» "Oh, no. There's no mistake. YOU'RE the one who's been turning me and my friends into ponies!"
- «HTBK» "Postman, there's been a...report, on our end. I'm afraid you'll need to come with us?"
- «HTBK» *The postman looks at you dozily and blinks.*
- «Puck» (there was a question mark there)
- «HTBK» "...I just deliver the mail."
- «Puck» (I'm getting GM feels)
- «Globebutt» ("These are not the droids you're looking for.")
- «Egg_Discord» "Then how come the folks at the local post office don't recognize you?"
- «Puck» (more like, well we'll see)
- «HTBK» *Around the square, people and ponies are stopping to stare.*
- «Egg_Discord» "You don't work for the post office, or they'd have recognized you!"
- «Writefag4» "Egg. If I may?"
- «HTBK» "Because I don't work at the [Unnamed] Post office?"
- «Egg_Discord» "Exa- Fine, Write."
- «Writefag4» "Have you seen any of us before?"
- «Writefag4» I gesture to the group of us."
- «HTBK» *The postman narrows his eyes.*
- «HTBK» "You, just in that bar..."
- «HTBK» "And you..."
- «Writefag4» I nod.
- «Globebutt» I go stand next to Egg.
- «HTBK» *He stares at Egg for a long moment.*
- «HTBK» "..."
- «HTBK» *He cocks his head.*
- «Egg_Discord» There is no fear now. There is only hate.
- «Puck» "I wasf dere too..."
- «Writefag4» (You were less pony though?)
- «HTBK» "I know. You answered a door for me yesterday. Your secret admirer sent you roses, to help you along with your...change."
- «Writefag4» "I direct this one to the officer."
- «Writefag4» Actualy no.
- «Egg_Discord» "...What?"
- «Egg_Discord» "What?!"
- «Globebutt» I nudge Egg. "Yeah, um."
- «Globebutt» "About that."
- «Egg_Discord» "WHAT?!" I have never screamed this loud in my life.
- «Writefag4» "He said he made a delivery. He's not disputing that."
- «HTBK» "The letter said you'd been handled, and she wanted to give you roses to make it easier."
- «HTBK» "..."
- «Globebutt» "Could we... Egg!"
- «HTBK» *He looks mildly alarmed.*
- «Writefag4» "So you do deliver to [unnamed] yes?"
- «Egg_Discord» "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I shout at Globe. I can't muster any emotion other than anger at this point.
- «Puck» "Mrshs wred dwess ish your schetret admireer?"
- «Globebutt» "You're making a public spectacle."
- «HTBK» "For...certain people, ma'am."
- «Writefag4» (Sir. I am the only sir.)
- «Globebutt» I look to Write and Puck. "You two aren't helping."
- «HTBK» *Sir. Dammit.*
- «Puck» "Shorry..."
- «HTBK» *The officer facehoofs, and the postman pats his nose apologetically.*
- «Globebutt» "Could we head into the station, perhaps? There's got to be a better place."
- «Egg_Discord» "I think I'm entitled to, considering I'm HALF HUMAN AND HALF HORSE!!!"
- «HTBK» "Look, if there's been a disturbance, I..."
- «Writefag4» "I'm afriad we're not up to date. Did my friends make it clear we're old worlders?"
- «HTBK» "...I think I'll just come along quietly, I can get back to my route later."
- «Globebutt» I kick Egg to get him to shut up.
- «HTBK» *A-hem.*
- «Egg_Discord» I grunt in pain, finally getting the hint.
- «Writefag4» (That was more directed at the officer.)
- «HTBK» *If you had, in the distant past, hired someone to follow you around and make sound effects at just the right time...*
- «HTBK» *You would've gotten this:*
- «HTBK» http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRp_mVi969I
- «Writefag4» (I thought I might.)
- «HTBK» "You're...what?"
- «Egg_Discord» "...That probably would have been important to know before we went to the station, Write."
- «Writefag4» "They didn't did they."
- «HTBK» (Oh hey it's late, bedtime!)
- «Globebutt» (Four past! I think this is a good enough stopping point, in any case.)
- «Writefag4» (I was pretty clear if that shit would hit the fan if you mentioned you were from the surface.)
- «Egg_Discord» (Oh, man! Just when it was getting good.)
- «Writefag4» (Wat?)
- «HTBK» "..."
- «HTBK» *And on that cliffhanger, the GM bids you all goodnight.*
- «Egg_Discord» (You cocktease!)
- «Globebutt» Bona nit.
- «HTBK» *If Globe doesn't want to run tomorrow, I'll use this time to recharge.*
- «Egg_Discord» Alright, fine. That was one hell of a twist, though.
- «HTBK» Globe, are you gonna run tomorrow night?
- «Puck» hey wait
- «Puck» http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbjimoJrX_0
- «Writefag4» (By the way you don't think I'm power gaming though do you?)
- «HTBK» IT'S NOT OVER YET HA HA HA
- «Globebutt» I have a project to work on tomorrow. Two, actually. I /shouldn't/ run. (Though I rather want to and may anyway, because my special talent is not organizing.)
- «Globebutt» (The ride never ends.)
- «HTBK» Oh. wow. It is amazing.
- «Globebutt» goddammit puck take your carrot and go to bed
- «Writefag4» (HTBK, I mean. I put 2 and 2 together here. Its probably not common for anyone to travel between the two or we would know it.)
- «HTBK» Stupid squeakhorse.
- «HTBK» (Very good, Write.)
- «Puck» I had the best night tonight
- «Egg_Discord» I've been deprived of so much sleep lately, but these RPs have been the most fun I'
- «Egg_Discord» *I've had in a long time.
- «Puck» Indeed.
- «Puck» A shame I hadn't joined sooner!
- «HTBK» *The GM is a shameless attention whore.*
- «HTBK» *You make him happy.*
- «Writefag4» Oh shit we left 2 ponies in the car.
- «Puck» Oh yeah.
- «Egg_Discord» Tomorrow, We'll see whether or not Sunfire's come back from the brink?
- «HTBK» ...Oh, yeah.
- «HTBK» ...We'll see.
- «Globebutt» You're an awful master.
- «Globebutt» I hope you left the windows cracked.
- «Puck» I totally did.
- «Egg_Discord» Of course I did.
- «Writefag4» I thought this one was winter.
- «Writefag4» The other one was summer.
- «HTBK» It is.
- «Egg_Discord» Who do you think I am, Brick Tamland?
- «HTBK» Ponesicle.
- «Puck» did I lock it...?
- «Writefag4» So why would you crack the window?
- «Globebutt» ...I guess so. Shut up.
- «Egg_Discord» Nevermind. Windows were closed and doors were locked. There's a human inside too.
- «Writefag4» They have fur and each other. They're probably fine.
- «HTBK» WElp, g'night everyone. Globe, don't GM if you can't handle it, and I'll put this on ice for a few if you handle distractions poorly
- «HTBK» Everyone else, g'night.
- «Writefag4» Night.
- «Puck» Night!
- «Puck» Thanks for the run too!
- «Egg_Discord» Night!
- «Globebutt» I handle distactions VERY well-- the way Puck handles his carrot!
- «HTBK» Bad girl.
- «Puck» IT STILL SQUEAKS!!!!
- «Writefag4» If it happens it happens. We'll reconvience and decide then how about?
- «Puck» sounds like a plan.
- «Writefag4» Meanwhile I'll read up on commas.
- «Puck» I'll be on from around 1pm to... whenever. Depending on of life gets in the way.
- «Writefag4» And practice up on my Phoenix Wright. Might be involved in two trials now.
- «Puck» I'll ponder in what ways a lightbulb could be a special talent.
- «Puck» aside from *tick, tick, tick... Lightbulb!*
- «Writefag4» Maybe its the Electric Company?
- «Puck» oh man
- «HTBK» left the chat.
- «Writefag4» You could be a 70's edutaiment show.
- «Egg_Discord» See you folks tomorrow.
- «Puck» That sounds just so cheesy. Night egg!
- «Writefag4» Night egg. Hopefully your anger doesn't get you into trouble when we continue.
- «Writefag4» We might not even have the right guy.
- «Puck» My money is on mr shady
- «Puck» that really slim one.
- «Puck» what'd barkeep call him?
- «Writefag4» I think he was talking about The Postman when we asked names.
- «Puck» The correct answer was The Real Slim Shady.
- «Writefag4» (I can't even handle this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_j0vcc70Ig)
- «Puck» (ppfpfftt)
- «Writefag4» (I don't know what I'd do if this was your talent.)
- «Puck» THEY'RE ALL SO HAPPY
- «Egg_Discord» left the chat.
- «Puck» just quote lines from it as much as possible I guess
- «Writefag4» I think thats Morgan Freeman.
- «Writefag4» And Bill Cosby.
- «Puck» indeed
- «Puck» I do get the feel that I should try to come up with good ideas ever so often. It'd kinda tie into the earth pony sensibilities.
- «Puck» Or just be cute. That could work.
- «Writefag4» Oooh. I can make myself cool. Because I'm an ice treat thing.
- «Writefag4» Then again I haven't been listeneing too much to my pony personality yet.
- «Puck» That picture of you... too good.
- «Writefag4» I like to pretend its the 17th one down there.
- «Puck» They seem fairly equivlant
- «Puck» But yeah, from 2.8 to 8.2 in one session...
- «Writefag4» Base color wise. But 17 is so lime. Or so skelital.
- «Writefag4» Mostly due to that carrot.
- «Puck» Yeah.
- «Writefag4» 17 isn't so lime I mean. 4 is practically neon green. Also creepy.
- «Puck» *squeeeeeeek~*
- «Puck» yeah, kinda creepy
- «Puck» definitely not my mental image of your pony.
- «Puck» I was afraid for a while that I was turning into croptool.
- «Writefag4» I tried to make the alt kind of lanky but there aren't really any good male hairstyles in the pony gen.
- «Puck» yeah, I know...
- «Puck» stupid Zoi, making it almost brilliant.
- «Puck» I really need to get some saddle bags....
- «Puck» I wonder if overworld money is even good down there...
- «Writefag4» Or you know. Abandon the carrot.
- «Puck» Nop.
- «Puck» Not Happen.
- «Writefag4» As for money. We'll it might be a collectors item.
- «Puck» Hm, true.
- «Puck» Oh snap, I forgot my whittling knife was in my pants too...
- «Puck» okay, I have three possessions and they keys to the van, hmmm
- «Writefag4» I'm sure your pants will still be there. Even if the Librarians aren't too happy to see us.
- «Writefag4» Though they might be if they'd like to learn a bit about the recent history of the old world.
- «Puck» probably. Worst it they'll be in the lost and found.
- «Puck» true.
- «Writefag4» Okay. I should get some sleep to. Got scheeming to do for the other Writefag.
- «Puck» heh
- «Puck» right-o then, night!
- «Puck» I'll drop out of this chat as well, goodnight moon!
- «Puck» left the chat.
- «O-O-T-N» left the chat.
- «Ewo» left the chat.
- «Writefag4» left the chat.
- «Ewo» joined the chat.
- «Ewo» left the chat.
- «SpitFire» joined the chat.
- «SpitFire» How did last night go after I left?
