"other cool random information" By White_light (https://pastebin.com/u/White_light) URL: https://pastebin.com/qmX8xFkZ Created on: Thursday 20th of November 2014 09:48:10 PM CDT Retrieved on: Monday 26 of October 2020 10:00:16 AM UTC * Able_Tome tiredly lifts his baggy eyes up and lifts up from the counter, "Thank' ye.", the grey unicorn thanks the barpone and carefully picks up the cup with same ghostly aura as he passed 1 bit coin to the guy [18:48] * Tali looks over at the unicorn next to her "By the way, I've seen you around, but I don't think we ever actually met. Name's Tali, you?" [18:51] * Able_Tome takes a sip out of the cup before he looks at the unfamiliar pony, "Mmm... name's Able, Able Tome, miss Tali.", he says in a slightly hushed tone with a smile [18:52] * Tali sips here tea a bit "Nice to meet you." [18:53] *her [18:56] "Likewise...", the messy maned stallion brings the cup to his lips and take another sip, "Mmmh.... one of the new arrivals, I presume? Don't remember seeing ya before here, miss, but... heh, my track record of visiting this place is not the best one...", the unicorn was speaking with a distinct slavic accent [18:58] "Ya, was out of action til recently with a broken leg. Thought someone was in trouble and endded up caught up in some rope traps due to my own stupidity" [18:58] "er, fractured, I should say" [19:00] "Oh.... that... Sorry to hear...", his lips tightened up a bit as brown gaze wandered down at his own leg, "... had something similar happen when I've arrived, though, err... for different reasons." [19:00] * Able_Tome shakes his head a bit with a sigh and takes another sip [19:01] "Hope that it will mend well and without, hm... complications." [19:02] * Tali takes another sip "Ya, it' pretty much fixed up now, just got told not to kick any walls and it'd be fine for light work" [19:04] "Mmm... fixed in biological sense is, well... difficult to assess, especially considering regenerative factor of these bodies... quite a wonder in its own way, really, but a wonder that keeps some, err, how to say-...", his eyes slowly looked up towards ceiling, "- under current's rocks?" [19:05] * lillin walks in, shuddering and shaking off some snow, she immedieatly goes to the fire and holds her hooves up to it, looking over to see Able and Tali. "oh, heya guys..." [19:06] == Curious [~ZebraFone@2600:100a:b017:8b99:b020:fc44:25c7:bf45] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] [19:06] * Tali raises and eyebrow and looks at the unicorn curiously. "...under current's rocks?A" [19:06] *rocks?!" [19:06] "oh hi lil." [19:07] "heya cutie" [19:07] * Able_Tome looks back and gives a wave to Lillin as he continued "Fast regeneration usually comes at a price of damage to cellular structure, increased scarring and weakening of tissue's integrity..." [19:08] * lillin comes over after she is warmed up. "not that you aren [19:08] nt cute too, Able" [19:09] "that... sounds bad..." *Tali smirks at lillin "you trying to flatter me again lillin?" [19:09] "These bodies are easy to break, tough to damage permanently in one blow... they offer fast healing and arcane means can accelerat-", he stopped at Lillin's remark and shaked his head a little, "-accelerate it, but long lasting damage will also accumulate at faster paces..." [19:10] "It's not flattery if its true~" [19:11] * Able_Tome sniffles, sighs and elects to take a drink instead [19:11] * Tali rolls her eyes still smiling "So estentially we're a bit squishy but bounce back fast." [19:12] "wait, are you guys talking about our vitality?" [19:12] "Squishy, bouncy, but subjected to accumulated trauma... a chance of acquiring cancererous disease grows exponentially with accumulated damage." [19:12] "w-what!?" [19:13] "More so if you, erm... abuse certain regenerative concoctions." [19:13] * CrystalShine slowly walks downstairs, her favorite book with a picture of brown eartho pony colt in front of barn sticking out of her saddlebag. Smiles at everybody present "Good afternoon everybody" and walks to the bar, sitting on the stool. [19:14] "With the implied elasticity of our genome though, we should be able to reverse the effects. It's possible the equestrians may have figured something out for their military and dangerous labor industries." [19:14] * lillin waves to Crystals. "man, the Inn is just full of cuties today" [19:14] "Something to keep in mind." [19:15] * Able_Tome looks away from the cup once more and smiles faintly at the familiar mare, "Ah, mornin', Ms. Shine...", he greets her and returns his attention to Tali, "Not quite solved, no... at least not for programmable alchemical concoctions..." [19:15] * Tali takes another sip "Though I get the feeling that the equestrians don't really like us..." [19:17] * CrystalShine smirks "You are surprised about that?" and turns at Harold "Can I have a cup of coffee? As always, no sugar, no milk please." [19:17] "huh, well, I'm no chemistry major. I wouldn't be the one to figure it out unless it required some mechaniical inginuity" [19:18] * Whitelight finally snaps out of her thoughtful transe a bit earlier than usual this time, having spent the last 10 minutes looking out of the window of her,quietly watching the snow fall whilst wrapped in her new dark green cloak, light blue scarf and green quilted jacket, breathing a long sigh before standing up and walking out of her room and silently heading down the stairscase with her hood still over her head. [19:18] * Tali looks to crystal "I honestly kinda am. I thought that ponies would be much more tolerant of humans provided they didn't try to go hurting others" [19:19] "They deal with discord and pinkie teir wierdness all the time" [19:19] "Alchemical products are mostly reserved for military and exploration purposes, at least those that affect body directly... A niche product exploited by these... hm... 'deviant' trades, as one of the Equestrians mentioned...? Something that affects internal magical reserves of the body and accelerates certain properties in proportion of original energy injected into serum's 'matrix', at [19:19] least for unicorn-based enchanting, but, they do still carry dangers of making bodies frail over time if abused..." [19:20] * Able_Tome shrugs, "As for humans, well.... there are *cough* reasons, so to say..." [19:20] * CrystalShine blows at her coffee to cool it up a little "I think humans can be scarrier than discord. Takes some time to trust someone so different and so aggresive by nature. But I'm sorry, I'm interrupting your interesting discussion." [19:21] * Whitelight glances around the room for a second not feeling very talkative as she sees the crowd, "evening..." she says with a low voice as she goes to sit on a stool at the bar. [19:21] "It still surprises me that they would be so quick to judge an entire race so quickly..." [19:21] "At least in the case of the royals" [19:22] * Able_Tome sighs and scratches the side of his head, "... there's more to it...", he mumbles while his eyes stare down into the cup, "... unexplained things." [19:22] "unexplained how?" [19:23] * CrystalShine stops raising her cup to her lips and turns at White, her face smiling "Hi sis!" jumps down and trots to her, giving her tight hug. [19:23] [sis?] [19:23] [Don't ask for OOC info you can easily obtain IC :P] [19:24] * Whitelight lowers her ears bit as she listens to the conversation, letting lout a squeak as CrystalShine suddenly hugs her "eee! h-hi sis..." she smiles warmly to her and hugs back. [19:24] * Able_Tome takes a slow sip and sighs, "Accumulated discoveries, strange occurances, coincidenes... odd cases gathered through more than a year of living in this place, all safeguarded and looked over in Archives *sniff*..." [19:25] * Tali glances back to the pair slightly confused but decides to ask about it later and goes back to her conversation with able [19:25] "As an example, there's a place north of here that contains, um.... our fossilized replicas... an ancient fortress up in mountains containing tomes of knowledge and statues of ourselves preserved within the giant halls..." [19:26] "Even so, it seems people say humans where rounded up and excomunicated rather quickly [19:26] "' [19:26] * Whitelight giggles softly and nuzzles her cheek before letting her go "how are you doing?" she asks with a still slightly tired voice. [19:27] * lillin is spacing out by the fire [19:29] * CrystalShine nuzzles her back and smiles "I'm fine… Although the things around me aren't safe lately… I almost killed my bed with my new toy" [19:29] * Able_Tome drinks last bits of tea and puts the cup away, "... humans were gathered, aye, but we were also provided with materials, tools, assistance before, um... things happened with the Embassy... guidance, if I may say it? The town was seemingly constructed on ruins of another town, and... well... there are lots of different ruins in this general area... mmm..", he shakes his head and [19:29] * Able_Tome looks at Tali, "Town has quite a long and patchy history... early expeditios were quite, um..." [19:29] * Tali spit takes [19:30] * lillin looks at Crystal. "new toy?" [19:31] * Whitelight curiousity is peeked by this, is now slowly leaning closer to the two conversing ponies, reaching a hoof inside her saddlebags. letting out an amused chuckle as she pulls out her journal "how'd you almost kill your bed." [19:31] * Tali wipes her mouth and blushes a bit "Uh, sorry... you were saying able?" [19:32] * CrystalShine nods "Long, wooden, with sharp metal point…" turns at Tome "Is'nt it possible that they are kind of using us for searching the ruins they are afraid to search themselves? [19:32] * Able_Tome remains silent for a bit and drops a sigh, "... nevermind", he says and pulls the hood over his head, "... one who seeks will find threads." The unicorn lifts up from his place and turns to face entrance's door [19:33] * lillin blushes hotly and looks away from them all, sighing and looking at the fire [19:33] * Whitelight starts casually pulling out her writing equipment, to quickly write this down for future reference before she forgets. "wow how could you hurt that bed call the guards~" she teases. [19:34] "Things were mentioned during Embassy meetings, hm...", he says tiredly to Crystal and looks at Tali, "I hope that your stay in this town will be safe and generous, miss... I also hope that you filled all your paperwork at the town hall... for citizenship and resource requisition alike." [19:34] * Tali finishes her tea and "Well, nice talking with you..." [19:34] "and yes I have [19:34] " [19:34] * lillin lays down and just thinks [19:34] "Have a nice day, mr. Tome" [19:35] * Tali nods, helping the bar pony as much as he'll allow to clean up the minor mess. [19:35] * Whitelight giggles and nuzzles CrystalShine "have a nice day, Sir." she says as she galnces towards Able_Tome, as she goes to write down on her book. [19:35] * CrystalShine waves at him and turns at Whitelight, giggling "Well… It kind of happened… Eh… See, I was fighting that manticore…" [19:35] * lillin pulls out her notepad and starts drawing [19:36] * Tali then heads over to the lillin. "Hi lil, what ya working on?" [19:36] "Have a good day...", he says to the hall and limps out of the building that was getting uncomfortably full [19:37] "wha- a manticore?" she said with a chuckle as she carefully wrote down what Able_Tome just said. "there was a manticore in your bedroom now?" [19:37] * lillin is drawing a picture of everyone at the bar, and looks up at Tali. "oh, hey there Tal, uuhm, just drawing you guys" [19:38] * Tali smiles "oh cool, mind if I watch?" [19:39] "Don't be afraid. It got scared of my skills and flew
