PirateQuest: Chapter 4.2: Endless Evil Wf+6 395165[Last 50 Posts]

The dock alone is busy. Ponies are everywhere. Ships left and right. Most of the menials move into the city immediately and head off for the red light district, but the city is quite large and much to offer. Smitts has already departed, and Abilio is not in his cabin.

There are quite a few ships arriving this morning. It's a good thing you were able to secure a dock to land at all. As you head out toward the city from the port, a pony runs up to you, looking half-mad, "Turn back! You've got to get out now!"

It is nine o'clock in the morning. Everyone is at the docks, except Friesian Cross, who is enjoying a free morning bagel before heading off to the apothecary.

Everyone rolls perception immediately before any other actions.

>>395172
Not only do you remember everything that happened yesterday up to your death, you immediately comprehend what is going on. This town is in a loop and you have until 9PM in the evening to figure out how to stop it, or you'll loop again.

>>395178
You remember it all. And you know exactly what's going on. Time loop. 9PM deadline. Better get on it.

>>395181
Funny, you remember fucking her just like this yesterday… she moans pleasantly.

You recall the events of yesterday.

>>395177
You have some memory… you remember seeing attractive mares dancing in the window… Curry pulling you… meeting a military pony… Cloud King for seat three…

>>395175
You remember seeing Tony's reinvention tricks, and that Abilio was busy fucking. You remember hunting… and dying.

>>395183
>>395182
>>395179
>>395174
>>395173
>>395168
Better luck next time.

Tony [Trickster] 395193

>>395191
HOLY SHIT.
Get my butt outside and see if anyone else is acting weird.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395195

>>395191
I fly out over the city and search for any good hunting spots.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395196

>>395191
"What a shithole."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395197

>>395195
[1d10]

Roll #1 8 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 395198

>>395191
"Such a lovely city."
I chuckle

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395199

>>395191
And out I go. I can't be the only one who knows what's going on. That explains the raving man when we first docked. How many days was that ago?

Felfire [Necromancer] 395200

>>395191
What on heart…
Go out and find Abilio, he must be done fucking by now!

Fervored, did we… Did we do it already?

Tela [Spellsword] 395201

>>395196
"You're telling me. Good fucking god."

Chip(DD knight) 395202

>>395191
"…. deja…"
"vu… !!!!!" My eyes widen as I remember the brick and the parlor thing.
I pull out of Nurse Heart immediately and look at myself in the mirror. What do I look like?

Tony [Trickster] 395203

>>395193
I exclaim loud enough so anyone can hear me.
"Man, did I have a weird dream last night."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395205

>>395191
"I already don't like this place…"

>>395203
"Uh?"

Wf+6 395206

>>395197
You spot some dark alleyways that would make for good hunting.

>>395193
Everyone is repeating lines from yesterday…

>>395199
You only remember yesterday. If you remembered all the days you'd looped… heh.

>>395200
You only wanted to cuddle. I respect your chastity and honor.

>>395202
Like you did yesterday. What a relief! Was it a dream?

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395209

>>395206
I'll shake my head. Is that guy screaming on the docks again?

Felfire [Necromancer] 395210

>>395206
But when. When did I… Yesterday I didn't even want to be touched!

Where the fuck is Abilio already?

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395211

>>395201
"Should we visit a gun store?"

>>395203
Raise an eyebrow.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395213

>>395206
>>395202
I fly back to the ships and track down Chip.
"Chip. Ready for hunt?"

Tony [Trickster] 395214

>>395205
>>395211

"Yeah, I dreamed that we all went out in Reptil, man we had some crazy shit going on."

Tela [Spellsword] 395215

>>395211
"Why? You know I don't use guns."

Wf+6 395216

>>395209
Of course. It's in the OP.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395217

>>395191
Huh… weird.

I walk down outside and tug on Spring's leg.
"Momma? Did we see any pretty mares dancing yesterday?"

>>395214
"…You dreamed about Reptil? Did you see any pretty mares dancing too mister Tony?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395219

>>395211
I'll shake my head.
"But Emrille, you already went to the gun store. Yesterday. And likely the day before that, and the day before that. And who knows how many days before that."
I'll look at them worriedly.
"I think I know what they meant by Reptil being a city of no consequences…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395220

>>395214
"Well by the looks of the city, it looks pretty crazy to me…"

>>395217
I frown
"What? What are you talking about? Dancing? Where?"

>>395219
"… What?"

Sateo [DD Monk] 395221

>>395206
Go to the market and find some targets to steal from '1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Light Heart [Warlord] 395223

>>395214
"That sounds quite unfortunate."

>>395217
>>395219
I raise a brow with a smile
"Very amusing you two. We only just arrived."

Wf+6 395224

>>395221
There's a blind old pony that has a small amount of money. He'd be an easy target.

Chip(DD knight) 395225

>>395206
I scratch my head and shrug, its a dream of course. Chip, being subjected to something as effeminate like that.

I then look at myself, I mean look at me. I am not even trap materia…..
"Uuuugghh.." I frown in disgust.

With that I approach Nurse Heart and wake her up.
"Hey there sleepy head, how is your day with the good Doctor?" I smile

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395226

>>395215
"But I do. We can visit the whorehouse you've ran away from after that."

>>395214
"Huh. Let's see how crazy it really is."

>>395217
I snicker at that.

>>395219
"It's in the morning and you are already drunk you shithead? We just arrived!"

Tela [Spellsword] 395227

>>395219
"What in the unholy fuck are you blabbering about, Golden Boy?"

Tony [Trickster] 395228

>>395217
"No, not that. But I'm sure there are a lot of those in Reptil."
I get a little lower.
"What else do you remember, kid?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395229

>>395210
>>395224
To the Darklantern!

Wf+6 395232

>>395225
You were already inside her, no need to approach.

"He wouldn't let me out during the battle…"

Odd echo.

Wf+6 395234

>>395229
You arrive there.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395235

>>395220
"Yeah! I remember… these… pretty mares dancing! And… some other things. But they're all really unclear…"

>>395228
"Um… I remember… mister Curry pulling me somewhere. Meeting some kind of… military pony? And… someone named Cloud King for… something called 'seat three'?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395237

>>395235
I give her a very worried look and put a hoof on her forehead.
Is she burning with fever or something?

Felfire [Necromancer] 395239

>>395234
Knock on Cloudy's do-
No wait. What if I'm wrong?
I need to talk with somepony.
But they are all away.
But I remember death.
I need to talk with Grogar.

Go to His altar on the Pillanger's Fancy.
Seance.
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Chip(DD knight) 395240

>>395232
"Uhhhmmm…. wait…. why?" I look at her ominously.

Tony [Trickster] 395241

>>395235
I nod.
"Well, have fun, kid. And dreams often have more truth to them then you'd think."

Go to the one who can help me.
ITZTLI

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395243

>>395220
"Miss Spring, there is magic at work here. The day is repeating, every night at nine at night."
>>395227
"Yesterday you hit Emrille over the head in the gun shop, causing her to regress to a filly's mindset. Then you came to find myself, miss Spring, and miss Seas. And we ran into, or more accurately another unicorn ran into us. Fresian something."
>>395235
"You remember a little, miss Spring."

Sateo [DD Monk] 395245

>>395224
steal half his gold, don't want to leave a beggar with nothing. '1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395247

>>395240
I poke the end of you tail with a claw.
"Chipdog? Ready for hunt?"

Tony [Trickster] 395248

>>395241
Scrap that.
I'll stay here for a second listening to Curry.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395250

>>395228
>>395235
>>395243
I let out a hearty laugh
"Please you two. This surely must be a joke."

Wf+6 395252

>>395239
Why do you call upon me, Felfire Copperwings?

>>395240
"He said it wasn't safe. I wanted to be there when you got off the boat…"

>>395247
He's still inside Nurturing, but you probably don't care.

>>395245
Got 16 bits.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395253

>>395243
"You visited Ruxiang, didn't you? Free blow sample and everything."

Tela [Spellsword] 395254

>>395243
"Are you high? Or drunk? Or both?"

Tony [Trickster] 395256

>>395250
I laugh.
"Maybe."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395257

>>395252
I thought he said he pulled out?
And no Seekkill doesn't.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395259

>>395250
>>395253
>>395254
I'll shake my head.
"You all know I'm terrible at jokes. And I don't do any intoxicants. There is magic at work here."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395260

>>395237
"Huh?…"
I look at her curiously as she checks me.
"I'm not sick…"

>>395241
"Wait, what do you mean mister Tony? Heeey!"
I jump up and shout at him as he walks off.

>>395243
"Magic that repeats the day?…"
I scrunch my face up.
"Mister Curry… that sounds weird. Are you sure that it isn't just… dream magic or something? That kind of magic is… impossible!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395261

>>395252
I feel something is amiss inside my soul, Master of the Passage. I feel like I have died once.

Sateo [DD Monk] 395263

>>395252
not enough, need at least 20 bits. look for a new target. '1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Spring Water [Doctor] 395264

>>395259
>>395260
"What are you two talking about… I don't remember any of those things you mentioned."

Chip(DD knight) 395266

>>395252
"I… I see. Good call for Doc Peg though. I mean I dont want any harm coming to you or something." I give her a quizzical look as I pull out and clean myself.

Odd..

>>395247
"Huh? Wait are we not hunting……. yesterday?"
I scratch my head.
"Well if you are done hunting with Felfire then we can hunt." I shake my head, this is getting confusing.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395267

>>395259
"I find that hard to believe."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395268

>>395260
"Nothing's impossible, just improbable."
>>395264
"I think that's part of the magic, miss Spring. Reptil, the city of no consequence, where nothing happens."

Light Heart [Warlord] 395269

>>395256
>>395259
>>395260
"This is peculiar. Are you absolutely certain about this?"

Tony [Trickster] 395270

>>395260
I stop and get down again.
"Okay kid, I'll tell you a little secret."
Whisper. "Everything Curry says is true. Time is repeating, unfortunately only few ponies will believe it."

Tela [Spellsword] 395271

>>395259
"Yeah yeah sure. Magic fairies did it all right?"

Wf+6 395273

>>395261
There has not yet been a time when your soul has entered the immortal plane.

>>395263
You spot a mare with a big fancy purse.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395279

>>395273
Let out a sigh of relief.
I am thankful for your answer, Master.
Stay silent for a moment.
Am I serving you well?

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395280

>>395266
I tilt my head.
"No? Hunt with Felfire tonight. Hunt with Chipdog now. Found hunting place. Follow me to deck."
I go up to the deck.

Sateo [DD Monk] 395281

>>395273
explain to monty my plan about him snatching her money when I walk close enough. '1d10' to see if she's with anyone.

Roll #1 3 = 3

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395282

>>395268
>>395267
"It's-"

>>395270
My eyes widen as he whispers to me and my jaw falls.

Chip(DD knight) 395283

>>395280
I scratch my head.
"Alright then."

After cleaning myself up, I go up on the deck.
"Dont you feel something is amiss?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395284

>>395282
"It's…?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395285

>>395267
>>395269
>>395271
"I am as certain about this as I am certain that Emrille is a pompous little filly with no regards to consequence and a poor demeanor."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395286

>>395268
"What do you get out of this, huh?"

Tony [Trickster] 395287

>>395282
"So I'm pretty sure you'll see that Cloud King again, campaigning for seat 3. If you'll go look for him"

Tela [Spellsword] 395289

>>395285
I snort
"Well when you put it that way."

Wf+6 395292

>>395279
There will perhaps come a day when you may serve the Immortal Chorus. But my agenda is on a scale far too large for a mortal mind to comprehend. Grow your knowledge and your power, and in time, you may gain the capacity to understand my designs. Then you will be truly prepared to serve, and earn my favor.

>>395281
Not with anyone as far as you can tell, but the crowd is thick, so who knows?

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395294

>>395286
"Do you want to keep buying the same scope every day for the rest of eternity because you don't remember doing so the day before?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395295

>>395285
I snark.
"You can go fuck yourself, this wasn't fucking funny."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395296

>>395287
I immediately run off.
Do I find Cloud King, campaigning for seat 3?
'1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

Spring Water [Doctor] 395297

>>395296
"Summer!"
Run after her!

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395298

>>395296
Shit, after her.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395299

>>395292
I will, my Master.

Let go of the link.
That clears it. I just had a bad dream.

Where are the other pirates gathered?

Light Heart [Warlord] 395300

>>395294
I raise a brow

>>395296
>>395297
>>395298
And I will follow, because this is quite curious.

Tony [Trickster] 395301

>>395296
Grin as she runs away. Time to visit Itztli

Tela [Spellsword] 395302

>>395294
>>395296
"Oh great, everyone has gone fucking insane. That's peachy."

Sateo [DD Monk] 395303

>>395292
well, get up close to her, execute plan. '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395306

>>395294
"Does this gun look like it has one? Not really."

>>395296
Roll my eyes and follow.
"See what you fucking did?"

Wf+6 395307

>>395299
On deck, like Corey.

>>395298
>>395297
>>395296
>>395300
Naturally she gets lost and leads you through the red light district instead. Curry and Summer can recognize the dancers.

>>395301
"I RECOGNIZE A GLIMMER OF COMPREHENSION IN YOUR EYES."

>>395303
Monty falls completely in her purse, you reach in to pull him out, and the mare turns and screams.

"THIEF! THIIIIIIEF!"

The crowd panics. Some ponies are headed toward you, but you have no idea if they're actually guards or not.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395308

>>395283
"No."
I grab him under the claws and flap my wings a few times, straining, before lifting off of the deck and carrying you to the alleys. Once we are there I set you down.
"Follow behind Seekkill."

>>395292
I fly down the alleys and search for prey. Ponies, donkeys, goats, whatever.
[1d10]

Roll #1 4 = 4

Sateo [DD Monk] 395310

>>395307
'1d10' grab my snake and run

Roll #1 9 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395311

>>395307
Nope. Scoop her up, out of the district.
>>395306
"Did you forget the part about forgetting? And magic?"

Tony [Trickster] 395312

>>395307
"Itztli, I knew you'd know something about this."
I grin.
"So, timeloop?"

Chip(DD knight) 395313

>>395308
I gulped.
"I really dont know, I mean I feel like… you know what this is weird."

Hunt with him
'1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Spring Water [Doctor] 395314

>>395307
"What? Why did we come here?"
Drag Summer out of this place!

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395315

>>395307
"Some direction you took, kid."

>>395311
"Then why don't you forget, huh?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 395316

>>395307
>>395311
"Mister Curry, I am confused. Why do you remember?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395317

>>395307
"Huh?…"
I pause as I notice the dancers, perking up with recognition.
"Those are the dancers! Those are the dancers I remembered!"

>>395311
>>395314
"Wait! Waaait! I'm looking for Cloud King running for seat 3! And I remember those dancers!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395318

>>395315
"Luck. Apparently your nickname for me decided to stick."

Wf+6 395319

>>395308
>>395313
You don't find anything. You get a bad feeling about this alleyway, though.

The hardest part about hunting, of course, is making sure you're the hunter, and not the hunted.

>>395310
At least you manage to slip away into the crowd.

>>395312
"THIS MAGIC IS CHAOTIC WE ARE NATURALLY ATTUNED TO IT YOU AND I."

>>395311
>>395314
As you exit into the administrative district (convenient that they're side by side), you notice a pegasus giving a speech.

"You know what's great about freedom? How free it is. And freedom is the freest thing there is. I love freedom, Reptil. That's why I fight BEAK AND TALON for YOUR freedoms, EVERY SECOND OF MY DAY. Even now I crusade for freedom. Freedom. Vote Cloud King for seat three."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395320

>>395307
Well I guess I should find Tony… Just, you know, to confirm if it was a dream or not.

Where's Tony?

Wf+6 395321

>>395320
He's on the Darklantern… talking to… a rabbit?

Tela [Spellsword] 395322

>>395317
>>395318
"This is some major horseshit."

Tony [Trickster] 395323

>>395319
"Chaotic, must be. Amazing, how long has this been going on?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395324

>>395319
"Cloud King? But… What?"
I look at Summer and Curry in surprise
"… How?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395325

>>395319
I gasp as I notice him.
"There he is! There he is!"
I break out of their grasp and run up to him.
"Mister Cloud King! Mister Cloud King! I remember you from yesterday! What happened yesterday?!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395326

>>395317
"You ju-"

>>395319
>>395318
I pause as I hear just what Summer was talking about.
"You've got to be shitting me."

Chip(DD knight) 395327

>>395319
I look around, this is not good.
"I think we should pull back. Get to a crowded street, head for the redlight district, and relax.

Do I see or detect anyone near us?
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Felfire [Necromancer] 395328

>>395321

He did talk about a rabbit yesterday… Today… In the dream, I mean.
Can I recall the name?
'1d10'
>>395323
Approach him.
"Please tell me you don't have any freaky changeling powers."

Roll #1 7 = 7

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395329

>>395319
I fly up above the rooftoops and look down for prey and other hunters.
[1d10]

Roll #1 5 = 5

Light Heart [Warlord] 395330

>>395319
"… Very intriguing."

>>395325
Go after her.
"Miss Rosemary and Skylight, do you remember any of this? Master Wark?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395331

>>395319
And there's that bloody politician.
>>395325
After Summer.
>>395324
>>395326
"Magic."

Tony [Trickster] 395332

>>395328
I laugh.
"Since you're talking about that I'll assume you know something about our little time wobbly wobbly thing. How much exactly?"

Tela [Spellsword] 395333

>>395331
"So great, this is legit? We're stuck in a fucking timeloop somehow? Who the hell did this then? wiping our minds every day?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395334

>>395325
Follow.

>>395331
"Bullshit…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395335

>>395331
>>395333
"This can't be happening…"

Wf+6 395336

>>395323
"SINCE WE HAVE ARRIVED, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE HUNDRED NINETY FIVE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE CYCLES AT TWELVE HOURS EACH THIS AMOUNTS TO ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED FORTY ONE AND A HALF YEARS."

>>395327
>>395329
You have a very bad feeling about this.

>>395328
Itztli?

They shake their heads in turn.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395337

>>395332
Cringe.
"Fuck. I have just a lot of confusion in my head. Like a bad dream or something."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395338

>>395336
"WE HAVE WHAT?!"
Look at the bunny in disbelief.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395339

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395340

>>395333
>>395334
>>395335
"Not much I can say. We need to find a way to break that cycle, or we're never getting out of here."

Chip(DD knight) 395341

>>395336
"Seek! Lets scram!" I called out to him and run out of this place.

Do I see anything? Do I get out?

Tony [Trickster] 395342

>>395336
I laugh.
"Really? Great! What can you tell me about it? you know I'm not even sure if I want to stop it now that I know about it."

>>395338
"Oh this is Itztli. I told you about him before, maybe even a thousand times before. And maybe you then seanced that shadow a thousand times and dismissed me a thousand times. Great, isn't it?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395344

>>395342
keep staring at the bunny.
"Fucking great, yeah…
We must find a way to remember."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395345

>>395336
I fly up to a cloud and hide in it while watching Chip flee.
[2d6] to spot anything following him.

Roll #1 6, 3 = 9

Tela [Spellsword] 395346

>>395340
"Oh shit… oh shit! Fuck! What if we get mindwiped again!? Fuck! How do we fix this shit!?"
I prance panickingly in place

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395348

>>395346
"I don't know! How can we possibly break free?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 395349

>>395346
"Tela, please do try and calm down. I believe we should inform mister Smitts."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395350

>>395346
"Calm the fuck down! We got this! We got through everything so far, haven't we?"

Tela [Spellsword] 395353

>>395350
>>395349
>>395348
"Just… fuck!"
I slump down

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395354

>>395353
"Don't make me slap you, you whiny bitch. Pull it together!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 395355

>>395353
"Miss Rosemary, I believe Tela requires a comfort hug. Please do so."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395358

>>395353
"Tela, there's always hope. We just have to find the right idea!"
I'll think. And think and think and… I wish that politician would stop blathering on about free-
"That's it! Or at least a good chance of being it."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395359

>>395354
"Emrille, we have to inform the rest of the crew. Somepony must be able to help with this."

Light Heart [Warlord] 395362

>>395359
"It appeared to me that mister Tony had some idea of what was going on."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395363

>>395359
"Yes, yes…"

>>395355
"Heart, you should talk to Smitts. I will round up Abilio in the meantime, he is a fucking mage after all."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395365

>>395359
I'll nod.
"Inform the commodore. Miss Heart, I need you to convince the Commodore of the time loop. Emrille, find mister Chip, the gryphon, and miss Felfire. We'll need all the help we can get."

Wf+6 395366

>>395325
"I'll tell you what happened yesterday."

He picks you up and kisses your forehead, poses for a picture, then sets you down. "What this astute little unicorn is talking about is an ASSAULT ON OUR FREEDOM! My OPPONENTS would like to TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOM, and brave little girls like THIS!"

He points at Summer, "Are the only ones helping me stop it. Please. Do it for freedom. Do it for the children. Vote Cloud King for seat three."

>>395338
"WE HAVE BEEN CYCLING."

>>395341
Got away safely. You do think you see a lot of strange ponies lurking in the shadows. Not the kind you want to mess with.

>>395342
"YOU DIE IN ABOUT HALF OF THE CYCLES BECAUSE OF THE STUPIDITY OF YOUR PACK MEMBERS, BUT YOU ALWAYS STICK WITH THEM YOUR BRAZEN LOYALTY IS IMPRESSIVE AND TO BE ADMIRED."

>>395345
Nothing followed him out. Whew.

>>395355
She tentatively approaches Tela to hug her.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395367

>>395363
"Indeed."
Leave to find Smitts

Spring Water [Doctor] 395368

>>395358
"What?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395369

>>395366
"Okay, if you can remember helps us. Give us a mean to remember too."

Chip(DD knight) 395370

I go on to a crowded street and signal Seekkill to come near me.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395371

>>395366
"No! That's not it at all! You… we… we're stuck in a time loop mister Cloud King! I just got here today! I- I… I've never seen you before but I recognize you! Please! You gotta help me!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395372

>>395368
"It might be crazy, but consider what Cloud King is saying. 'Vote Cloud King for freedom'. It could be nothing, or it could be everything."

Tela [Spellsword] 395374

>>395366
"I don't need a damn hug!"

>>395362
"I'll go get that fucker!"
Find Tony!

Tony [Trickster] 395375

>>395366
"Finally. Somebody who says it. I'll have to ask for a raise from Smitts.
But let's stick to the facts, can you tell me anything about how to remember it, or maybe how to learn to control it?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395376

>>395372
"… You really think so?"

>>395371
I look at Summer plead with a sad look in my eyes

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395377

>>395372
>>395368
"You guys figure this out."

Turn to Tela.
"Tela, you follow me."

Head back to the ship.
Go find Abilio.

Chip(DD knight) 395378

>>395370

>>395366
I then look around, where am I?

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395379

Spring Water [Doctor] 395381

>>395377
"Right…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395382

>>395376
"It's the only idea I have."
>>395377
I'll just glare at her for a second.

"Miss Spring, it seems it's up to us to gather everyone."

Tela [Spellsword] 395383

>>395377
"Fuck you! I'm getting that damn dog!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395384

>>395382
"I guess we can try…"

Wf+6 395385

>>395371
He just smiles and poses for more pictures.

>>395374
>>395377
You and Tela head to the ships.

>>395375
"ATTEMPTS TO REMEMBER RELIABLY PROVE FRUITLESS YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THIS LINE OF THOUGHT IN ALL NINETY FIVE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN TIMES YOU HAVE RECALLED YOUR SITUATION EXCEPT ONE IN WHICH YOU IMMEDIATELY KILLED YOURSELF."

>>395379
>>395380
There seems to be an abandoned tent near the entertainment grounds… that seems ideal.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395387

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395388

>>395383
"Fine, go then, round up everypony, I'm getting Abilio in the meantime."

Head towards his office.

Wf+6 395389

>>395367
Smitts is still away, acquiring the dhow, when you get back.

Tela [Spellsword] 395390

>>395385
Find Tony!

Felfire [Necromancer] 395391

>>395385
"Fuck this."
Turn to Tony.
"I'm getting help. If he tells anything, warn me."

Find Abilio. Burst through Cloudy's door if needed.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395392

>>395384
"Miss Spring, recover miss Seas. We might need the entire crew to vote on this, and convincing them will likely be an absurd task."
>>395383
I'll nod to Tela.

"That leaves us with miss Felfire."

Wf+6 395393

>>395388
You catch Abilio just as he is at his door, returning.

>>395390
He and Felfire are talking to Itztli.

Chip(DD knight) 395394

>>395385
Wait for Seekkill in my position.

I look around, where am I btw?

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395396

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395401

"Hey! Wait!"

Run up to him.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395402

>>395392
"Or mister Chip. She didn't say which dog."
>>395396
Dammit, after her.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395403

>>395398
I land next to you.
"Seekkill found good place."

Tony [Trickster] 395404

>>395385
Think for a second.
"Killed myself? That doesn't sound like me."
Shrug.
"Allright then, remembering won't work. What is the source of this time chaos?"

>>395391
Watch as she goes away.
"Damn, she can be a little nicer sometimes."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395405

>>395393
>>395391
I guess I hit Abilio too.

"Time loop.
Five hundread years now. We have to leave this port. Now."

Tela [Spellsword] 395406

>>395393
"TONY! YOU DISCORDIAN CUNT!"

>>395404
I push him
"Just what the fuck is going on here!? I know you have something to do with this shit!"

Chip(DD knight) 395408

>>395403
I smiled evilly.
"Ooohh.. nice, lets head then."
Follow SeekKill.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395410

>>395405
"Five…hundred?"

Tony [Trickster] 395411

>>395406
"It's Mister Discordian Cunt for you."

Wf+6 395412

>>395391
You do burst through Cloudy's door! She's alone and very offended. You find him with Emrille at his cabin.

>>395398
You're next to that street vendor giving out free samples of your favorite food.

>>395397
Gonna need to roll for that. It's a crowded port.

>>395399
Hit me up on Steam if you want to do that.

>What's going on?


You've made port in Reptil, the city with no consequences. It's full of whores and anarchy! Good pirate city, no tariffs. Everyone has split up, except you spot Tony chatting with a rabbit.

>>395401
"Yes?"

>>395404
"I DO NOT KNOW I HAVE NOT SOUGHT TO END IT."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395414

>>395408
Wait for your roll to be answered.

Wf+6 395417

>>395413
You find him right away. He's finalizing a deal and getting menials to relocate the ship.

"Ah, Miss Heart. Eager to be part of business, aren't we?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395418

>>395410
"And more. Go talk with Itztli, that cunt of a rabbit!"

Tela [Spellsword] 395419

>>395411
I growl
"You best start talking, asshole."

Chip(DD knight) 395421

>>395412
>>395414
I look at the food.
"What a waste." I frown.

I signal Seekkill to continue that hunt.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395422

Tony [Trickster] 395423

>>395412
"Smart idea. I don't feel like ending it either."
Get up.
"Until next cycle when I remember all of this shit Itztli."

>>395419
"I don't have anything to do with it. I wish I did honestly. Would I lie to you?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395424

>>395412
"Call me fucking crazy but there's been some major shit going down. It seems that we are repeating the same day over and over again for some fucked up reason!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395425

Light Heart [Warlord] 395427

>>395417
"I am afraid my reasoning for being here is not quite so colorful. It would seem we are stuck in a timeloop. We repeat the same events of every day without remembering it."

Tela [Spellsword] 395429

>>395423
"You fucker! You're going to help us end this shit, you hear me!?"

Wf+6 395430

>>395405
"It's unlikely we'll be leaving port until at least tomorrow. What are you talking about?"

>>395396
You can't find Freisian Cross, partly because your rolls suck, and partly because he's AFK for another hour and a half.

>>395427
He considers it a moment. "Plausible. Proof?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395432

>>395430
"Time. Has been. Looping. It is never going to be tomorrow. The rabbit is the only one that remembers every time."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395433

>>395430
Also because Spring caught her.

Chip(DD knight) 395434

Light Heart [Warlord] 395435

>>395430
"Mister Curry and Tony seem to remember. As does miss Seas. It seemed very unlikely, but they did manage to predict every single detail that has happened thusfar."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395436

>>395421
I pick you up again and carry him to the area with the tent. A set you down in some nearby cover behind trees or bushes or whatever is available.
"Shhh."

>>395430
[1d10]
Can I hear or smell anything in the tent?

Roll #1 10 = 10

Tony [Trickster] 395437

>>395429
"WHY? We're in fucking Reptil. And I can do whatever the fuck I want now, without any consequences. YOU can do whatever you want. Spend all your money on whatever you want and you get again next cycle. It's a dream come true. If there's one place in the whole goddamn world I'd like to be stuck in a timecycle, it's here you hear me? What's bad about it? We can fix it next time. Only me and Curry remembered it and now everybody knows. How hard can it be? I'm taking this free day."

"I see. So what's the cause?"

>>395438
>>395436
It's empty, but ponies cross by it frequently. If you act like a trap door spider… er, a tent door griffon… you could easily nab ponies privately.

>>395442
>>395445

Secret Brothel Fun.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395447

This is a panicked filly.

"You brought me to an empty tent?" I look at Seekkill.

395458

"Fuck. That. When we get out of here I'm going to fucking kill you."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395461

>>395452
"Summer, listen to me. They, and everyone else in this city, probably don't remember. Except that one poor soul on the dock every morning, screaming at us to flee."
I'll hug her tightly.
"Summer, you have to calm down and think."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395462

>>395444

Shrug.

Wf+6 395467

>>395451
"That seems a wise plan. I'll see what I can do to determine the cause."

Pause. "If you don't have a current destination in mind, though, I do need something done, and it will expedite the information gathering. I'd see to it you were rewarded if you could go to the local Headthought seminar and plant seeds under seat eighty eight. They're trivial cultists, but this may help. Take only Miss Rosemary if you do go."

>>395453
>>395454
You reconvene with Tony and Itztli.

>>395458
You pull in a couple of fat colts and rip out their throats before they can scream.

>>395462
see meta

>>395464
Looks like he has it covered. Unless you want to try for another…?

Light Heart [Warlord] 395469

>>395467
"I see. Can this matter wait until later or not? I would very much like to ensure this does not repeat again."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395470

>>395465
And then me, Abilio and Emrille drop on you.
"Tell the bunny to tell Abilio."
>>395467
Point him at the bunny.

Tela [Spellsword] 395471

>>395470
"That fucker doesn't even want to break the cycle!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395472

>>395461
"But… but…"
I whimper and hug him back.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395473

>>395471
"I doubt he can in the first place."

Light Heart [Warlord] 395474

>>395469
After a moment I add
"… Or perhaps we can find a way to remember and use this to our advantage."

Tony [Trickster] 395475

>>395470
Shrug.
"He'll tell you himself, if he wants."

>>395471
"Correction, I want just a fucking free day. I'll break it afterwards."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395476

>>395464
I cackle.
"Fat and tender. Enjoy, Chipdog."
I toss you one of the colts.

>>395467
I chow down. How do they taste compared to the island ponies?

Felfire [Necromancer] 395477

>>395475
Roll my eyes.
"We have had something like two hundread thousand free days now!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395478

>>395472
"It's alright. It's alright. We'll figure something out. If my plan doesn't work, we'll just try something else."

Chip(DD knight) 395479

>>395467
I gulped seeing how Seek does his work.

I stay silent for a moment.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395482

>>395452
>>395461
"You two! Come on!"
Back to the fleet!

Tony [Trickster] 395483

Think about that for a second.
"Good point…."

Wf+6 395484

>>395469
>>395474
"It could be related. If you have a better lead, by all means, pursue that first."

>>395476
They're a lot less gamey. They aren't naturally fed. Tastes like they eat a lot of fats.

>>395479
You grab a filly of your own. She tries to scream in fear but you quiet her with a massive paw. She struggles, but isn't dead yet. Snap her neck?

Tony [Trickster] 395486

>>395480
"Well, fucking fine. If you put it THAT WAY. I'll help."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395487

>>395484
So the part where Abilio talks with Itztil and Tony?

Chip(DD knight) 395488

>>395476
Catch the fat colt and lay it beside me.
"This is really not what I had in mind." I look at the dead colt uneasily.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395489

>>395482
And back we'll go.
"You're a strong filly, Summer. Be brave."

Light Heart [Warlord] 395490

>>395484
"I will do all I can to solve this issue."
With that, I go back to the fleet.

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395491

>>395482
I nod, scared.

"W- We're stuck though… stuck… forever…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395492

>>395491
"No. Not forever. Just until we find the one crack that we can widen until it causes the magic to shatter."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395493

>>395479
I cackle through a mouthful of guts.

>>395488
I swallow my beakfull and look up at him and the filly.
"Eat him. Make self strong for…playtime."

>>395484
I go back to chowing down on my catch. I slow down and enjoy the new flavors and new setting.

Wf+6 395497

>>395494
Consider her unconscious.

>>395495
The crowd here is pretty disrupted. Better try somewhere else.

Tela [Spellsword] 395498

>>395496
"Find that pony? That fucker who was screaming?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395499

>>395496
"Remind us at the start of next cycle then!"

Tony [Trickster] 395500

>>395496
"Right. Let's get going."
I grumble while I search for where those guards might have taken him. '1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

395501

>>395500
Search along!

Roll #1 8 = 8

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395502

>>395496
Telepoert in!

"This implies you know the pony. Who is it?"

Sateo [DD Monk] 395504

>>395497
Then try.. follow somepony who looks rich '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395505

>>395496
"So who's that?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 395506

>>395500
>>395501
"Ah, there you are. What have you found out?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395507

>>395492
Actually…
I climb on Curry's back and try to fall asleep.
Maybe Luna will know something.
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Spring Water [Doctor] 395508

>>395505
I guess we've arrived by now
"Emrille, any luck?"

Tony [Trickster] 395509

>>395506
"Time loop. Find the pony who screams at us every morning. Come along."

Chip(DD knight) 395510

>>395497
Lets evil
Then lets play with her while Chip is doing his thing. Let out all those pent up frustration on pursuing a certain target aboard that ship into this one.
'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395514

>>395508
"Sort of. Seems like the rabbit of Tony knows. Remember that screaming guy? We need to find him."

Chip(DD knight) 395515

>>395510
>while Seekkill

Light Heart [Warlord] 395516

>>395509
"Yes. I informed mister Smitts. This is most interesting, do you think there is a way to control this timeloop?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395519

Tony [Trickster] 395521

>>395516
"Sure, it's chaotic magic, I'll get to the bottom of it. I probably already told you a thousand times already that I'm a discordian. We can't remember it though, so the nofun police wants it broken, which is what I'm doing."

Wf+6 395522

>>395498
"IT IS THE ROUTE I WOULD PURSUE IF I HAD YOUR MOTIVES WHICH I DO NOT TAKE IT AS YOU WILL."

>>395499
"I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HELPING YOU FURTHER IF YOU KILL ME I WILL RETURN TOMORROW PERHAPS I WILL KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP A FEW HUNDRED TIMES FOR MY OWN AMUSEMENT IN REVENGE."

>>395501
>>395500
You find Light Heart.

>>395502
"I DON'T KNOW HIM I MERELY OBSERVE HIM EVERY DAY."

>>395504
You are wandering in the entertainment district looking for a good mark when you get jerked into a tent by Seekkill and Chip. They thought you were food.

>>395507
You sleepy now.

Yes?

>>395510
She's unconscious, so you don't get to enjoy the struggle, but she is warm. There's a beautiful weakness to her frail little form, and you feel powerful, totally in control, as you slide her along your knot. You eagerly run her ragdolling form up and down, more like a toy or cocksock than another sentient being. Finally, you violently release inside of her. Your engorged member has probably damaged her internally.

Wf+6 395524

>>395522
Correction on ORDER:

Sateo joins Seekkill and Chip after he's done and has discarded the filly/cocksock/

Chip(DD knight) 395525

>>395519
>>395493
I stare at the dead colt.
"Perhaps a bite or two. but not now."

>>395522
Rest after that and think of that little filly aboard the ship.

Roll #1 10 = 10

Spring Water [Doctor] 395526

>>395514
"… Great…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395527

>>395522
"Kill- Who the fuck cares, you idiotic rabbit!"
Leave him be.
Regroup with Tony and the others.
Is Abilio coming along?

Light Heart [Warlord] 395528

>>395521
"I must admit that not being able to remember makes this exercise quite pointless. If we could remember however… we could use it to our advantage."

Tony [Trickster] 395529

>>395522
Ask around where guards might take a pony
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395530

>>395526
"Well, that gives us a second lead, at least."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395531

>>395526
"It's something, right?"
I think for a second.
"Hey Spring… do you think that uh…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395532

>>395530
"I suppose. Let's start looking then?"

Tony [Trickster] 395533

>>395528
"Well, if we find the source, you might get your wish. Now are we going to find this pony or not? We only have so much time."

395534

>>395522
Start asking around for the location of this pony

Roll #1 8 = 8

Wf+6 395535

>>395525
Why would you throw up? You feel great! It was nice to finally let your pent up tensions pass.

>>395527
He tells you he's going to see if he can find a means of determining a way to stop it with magic and holes up in his cabin.

>>395529
You just end up agitating them.

"You some kinda crazy sympathizer? Get out of here before we cut your red."

>>395534
"I heard they threw him in the loony bin."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395536

>>395532
"Let Emrille have her question. It's probably about whether or not you two might have… never mind. And then she can take the air."
And then I'll start gathering information on where the guards might have taken that screamer. '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Sateo [DD Monk] 395537

>>395525
"What are ye doin' mate?" I say cheerfully.

Tony [Trickster] 395538

>>395535
Go to Light Heart.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395539

>>395531
"What?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395540

>>395522
I crack open my colt's bones and scrape out the marrow like Flux showed me while watching Chip.
Am I still hungry? [1d10]

>>395525
"Taste best while body warm."

>>395537
"Enjoying hunt. Want join?"

Roll #1 4 = 4

Felfire [Necromancer] 395541

>>395535
Very well.
I will just regroup with Tony and LH then.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395542

>>395539
"You know, if time has been repeating for a while now and all… Come on, you must see where I am going with this."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395543

>>395542
I roll my eyes and follow Felfire

Sateo [DD Monk] 395544

>>395540
I nod "Hunt is good, but I wanted to meet with tony, to get some cards.."

Light Heart [Warlord] 395545

>>395535
Let's go back to round up the party.

>>395541
>>395542
>>395536
>>395538
"The loony bin."

Tony [Trickster] 395546

>>395545
"That's where we go then. Let's go."
Find the loony bin '1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395547

>>395543
I follow behind her as well.
"Come on! It's just a sign! That you could give me a chance!"

>>395545
"The where?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395548

>>395545
"Lid's off, we come crashing down the street. You know already?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395549

>>395540
Nope. I lie on my side and enjoy the bones and marrow.

>>395544
I gesture to the colt skkeleton, the colt corpse, and the filly on Chips dick.
"Hunting good here. Prey comes to hunters."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395550

>>395522
"Observer him? Then please describe him."

Then I regroup.

Chip(DD knight) 395551

>>>395535
I breath in and look at the little thing. Looks like the primal urge is still inside me. I smile inwardly.

>>395537
I look at Sateo blankly.
Oh shit!!

Sateo [DD Monk] 395552

>>395549
>>395551
I shake my head "raw even? Least ye could cook em' if ye be that hungry."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395553

>>395545
>>395548
"Do we know where that is?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395554

>>395547
"And then not remember tomorrow because we spent all day not finding a solution."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395555

>>395552
"Cooking take taste away. Want other colt? Chipdog have filly."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395556

>>395554
"I didn't mean just on thist particular day… it would mean you probably gave me a chance once and who knows what happened?"

Chip(DD knight) 395557

>>395552
The smoke will give us away." I stare at him.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395558

>>395553
"We are looking, in fact."

Sateo [DD Monk] 395559

>>395555
I shake my head putting a paw up "No, it be ye kill, ye can keep it."
>>395557
"Good thinking mate. I'd best not stand here givin' ye away either"

I turn to leave. probably back to the ship. or where tony is.

Wf+6 395560

>>395559
You join the main group.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395561

>>395554
>>395556
"What if you two just gave each other a chance tomorrow?
Makes Emrille want to get this job done, and most likely you won't even remember."
Snicker a bit.
>>395559
>>395560
Do I remember this guy from somewhere?
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Felfire [Necromancer] 395563

>>395561
I probably don't even notice him.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395564

>>395556
>>395561
I just scrunch.

Chip(DD knight) 395565

>>395559
With that, I look at Seek kill.
"That is a good hunt, where do you plan on hunting next?" I smile with glee.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395566

>>395559
I wait until you leave to speak.

>>395557
"Too bad he crew. Seekkill want know what diamond dog taste like."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395568

>>395561
"It could have already happened!"

>>395564
"See, some-day-ago-Spring had enough sense. You should too!"

Sateo [DD Monk] 395570

>>395561
"Ahoy, mates, What ye be up too?" I say to the group.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395571

>>395570
"We're looking for the asylum. Don't suppose you've heard where it might be?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395573

>>395568
"Fight to keep the dream alive."
Keep snickering.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395574

>>395565
I slap the ground with a claw.
"Here. Hidden spot. Prey comes to hunters."
I look at his paws.
"Spirits say diamond dogs dig. Dig us hole for eating? Sekkill not want catch putting holes in tent."

Tony [Trickster] 395575

>>395570
"Breaking a time loop. Follow us."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395576

>>395568
"You don't know that!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395578

>>395573
Roll my eyes.
"At least I don't have to get corpses."

>>395570
"This might sound crazy, but we are repeating time."

>>395576
"I am fairly certain! In fact, I am sure!"

Sateo [DD Monk] 395581

>>395575
"Time what now?" Follow close, lean in and whisper "Does this mean that you found out about somethin' big? All I swiped was a few coins.. maybe enough for that deck O' cards.."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395582

>>395578
Frown.
"Hey, Fervored loves me."
Bring the shadow up.

Chip(DD knight) 395584

>>395574
I nod and dig at the spot where Seekkill points out.
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Sateo [DD Monk] 395585

>>395578
"Can ye explain that? Any better? Somethin' bout that thar starswirl fellow? Had a fancy beard If I recall."

Wf+6 395586

>>395582
Fervored appears in your shadow.

>>395584
The ground is soft and easy to dig.

Tony [Trickster] 395587

Light Heart [Warlord] 395588

>>395586
Well? >>395546
Here, another roll '1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395589

>>395582
"Sure, good for you then."

>>395585
I shake my head.
"I don't know how the fuck it goes, but we are supposedly repeating the same day over and over again for some reason."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395590

>>395584
I place a claw on the second colt corpse.
"Getting cold. Chipdog make choice. Eat now or eat never. Very bad to waste kill."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395592

>>395589
"Time loops… time loops… is our priority here really ending it? This.. is an opportunity."

Wf+6 395593

>>395546
>>395588
There is a small facility in the administrative district where they keep the 'loose screws'.

Sateo [DD Monk] 395594

>>395592
>>395589
I try to piece together what you mean '1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Light Heart [Warlord] 395595

>>395592
"Our priority is finding out a way to make it benefit us and the fleet."

>>395593
Approach it and enter.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395596

>>395592
"Five. Hundread. Years.
And I have just faint memories of a single day.
No opportunity here."

Tony [Trickster] 395597

>>395593
Right.
"Light Heart, check out if you can get in the normal way, I'll see if I can find an alternative way in if that doesn't work."

Spot check for alternative entrances '1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395598

>>395595
Following after her.
"Or breaking it entirely. If time rolls back, nothing happens."

Wf+6 395599

>>395595
There's a bored nurse sitting behind a desk.

>>395597
There's a fence out back surrounding a common area for the nutters.

Chip(DD knight) 395600

>>395590
I frown as I grab the dead colt.
"Its not that I am not limited on eating, its just I find it distasteful eating someone who you can talk too. There are many times in the past where I am stuck in the sea where me and some of the crew had to resort on eating the dead one's."
I look at the dead colt and took a bite.

Tony [Trickster] 395601

>>395599
Any holes in it?

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395602

>>395596
"Ah, well, in a thousand you'll have two free days at no cost. How did you do it, anyway?"

>>395595
"Looks like we'll have to ask Felfire that. Now, if only.. if only I had the power to see into the beyond…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 395603

>>395599
I approach her and smile
"Good day miss, we are looking for a recently retrieved patient of yours."

Sateo [DD Monk] 395604

>>395596
>>395597
"ye sure? If I hear you right.. We could pull a big raid, and have many tries to get it right.. seems a waste not to try."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395605

>>395600
I watch you silently.

Wf+6 395606

>>395601
It's a fence, not a wall. There are cracks in between every piece of wood.

>>395603
"That's nice, dear."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395607

>>395602
"We lose our memory day after day.
Nothing sticks."
>>395599
Stand in front, with my shadow and Curry's raised.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395609

I chuckle
"Is it not? Could you perhaps help us out in some way?"

Chip(DD knight) 395610

>>395605
Lets see how fast I can chow down.

"Also, dont touch my catch. Thats mine." while cracking a bone and sucking the marrow.

Wf+6 395614

"Patient name?"

>>395612
Gotta go fast.

Tony [Trickster] 395615

>>395614
Go through the fence and find that pony. I saw him before '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Light Heart [Warlord] 395616

>>395614
"He recently either broke out or was put in here."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395617

>>395607
"Ah, pity. So your method isn't reliable? If I were to put forth a hypothesis, if only one were to reach into a dimension higher than time, maybe we could leave records there for use to retrieve upon an ext cycle. If only…!"

Hat Trick!
Pull out evidence of something from a previous cycle. Maybe a note someone wrote down?

395619

Roll #1 4 = 4

Light Heart [Warlord] 395620

>>395606

"Miss, I am a doctor, it is imperative that we find this pony."
Describe how he looked.

Chip(DD knight) 395622

>>395614
Put the finished parts and bones on the side. Then look at Seekkill

>>395605
"Want a bite?" I offer him a thigh.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395623

>>395620
>name
I am way too fucking tired

Summer Seas [Cleric] 395625

I guess I wake up.
I wake up with a jolt and hop off of Curry's back, a hollow expression on my face.
I walk over to wherever I can get a view of the town.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395626

>>395617
"Yeah, that would really make everything right.
And then go mad like this one screaming wacko."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395627

>>395610
>>395612
I cackle and pat you on the back after you finish.
"Good! Smart dog. Bury bones in case pony find us. Seekkill not want your prey after you spill essence it it, and not take ite ven if Seekkill wanted it."

>>395622
I take it and chow down.

No you don't. Grab her with telekinesis.

Roll #1 8 = 8

Wf+6 395631

>>395615
Something's wrong… you're not changing back! You're stuck as a tiny mouse!

Those birds are starting to look at lot more intimidating as they close in…

A big one swoops down and attempts to pluck you up. Roll to dodge.

>>395616
"I'm going to need something better than that to let you in here."

>>395617
>>395619
Nothing. You're not even sure it's possible.

>>395623
>>395620
"Sure… but no unauthorized visits from doctors."

>>395625
That's almost impossible from the ground. It's sprawling.

Roll #1 1 + 2 = 3

Reach around a bit more in the hat.

Roll #1 8 = 8

Tony [Trickster] 395638

>>395634
Find some hole to crawl into safety. '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395639

>>395631
I'll roll my eyes.
"We don't have time for this."
Taking my trident, I'll jam it into the desk in front of the receptionist.
"I believe our credentials are in order, may we please see that patient?"

Sateo [DD Monk] 395640

>>395631
>>395632
I can totally speak mouse, can I hear him say help or something? '1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Wf+6 395641

>>395636
The universe is onto you (auto-fail). You can't make another attempt so soon after a failed one.

>>395635
She frowns angrily. "Yeah, yeah. Another so-called family member. Get outta here."

>>395639
"Looks like you need a room here, too. Should I call security?"

>>395640
>>395638
No, but you can see a poor little mouse get pecked viciously a few times before being swallowed by a large vulture that has shooed away the blackbirds.

Tony is helpless, four wounds remaining, inside a vulture stomach, stuck as a mouse.

[Pause?]

Chip(DD knight) 395642

>>395627
Bury the bones then look at my victim.
"Back in the day we usually sell them cheap for slavery and such but now…."
I stroke the mane of the little filly.
"What to do with you?" I then smell her.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395644

>>395641
Yes please

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395645

>>395641
"I would rather you not. But it is imperative we see that patient. The fate of the city depends on it."

Tony [Trickster] 395646

>>395641
Discord, you know what I'm trying to achieve. Give me my normal form again, I beg you.
'1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

"Show us the patient!"
I slam my hoof on her desk AWIYE

Roll #1 7 = 7

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395649

>>395641
Ah, well.

Can I just Astral Project and scan the building quickly if the receptionist won't let us in? Do so.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395650

>>395642
I shrug.
"Keep playing. Kill and eat. Sell. Seekkill not care."

>>395641
I keep an ear out for any nonpony that draws to close. When it does I grab it and pull it into the tent.
[1d10]

Roll #1 1 = 1

395652

>>395641
"Miss please, what I am saying is the ugly truth."

Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

Wf+6 395656

>>395642
She smells like flowers, and her skin and coat are soft and plump. She is too young for a cutie mark, and still very unconscious. She is small enough to be easily carried with one hand.

>>395646
It's one more turn of cooldown, unfortunately. So I'll take that as next turn's roll and just give you the worst result for this turn so that you can use it then.

First, you boil in the vulture's stomach acid. (Take two wounds.) Sateo makes him spit you up, and you reinvent yourself to normal.

>>395647
He reluctantly spits up his prey, which turns back into a diamond dog.

>>395648
She frowns, but obliges. "New patients are kept in the monitoring ward. Down the hall and to the left."

>>395649
You can. From here you it split up ahead, one path left, one right, and one straight.

>>395650
You jerk a heavily armored knight inside the tent. He takes a look around at all the blood and bones.

There's only one pony there. It's the one from this morning. He's boredly staring into a one-way mirror.

>>395665
You project out into the backyard. There are a bunch of crazy ponies out here meandering about.

>>395669
You flee, but then turn back and grab the filly. You almost forgot her! Okay, better get going.

>>395666
He groans with the poisonous strike, but you know he'll be up and swinging soon. Better cover ground.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395672

>>395671
"We know about the time magic. Do you know how to break it?"

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395673

>>395671
Go back, and when I see the others, stop project and follow.

Tony [Trickster] 395674

>>395671
Do I see the pony I'm looking for out here?

Spring Water [Doctor] 395675

>>395671
"You. How do we fix this?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395676

>>395671
"Hello there good sir. I believe we should talk."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395677

>>395671

I grab chip and fly towards the closest wooded area I can find that isn't near the tent.

You got away safely. And you have your little prize, too.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395684

"And of course there's only half a thousand diamond dogs floating around Reptil right now."
>>395690
As I'll head after Light Heart, we'll need to talk.
"And what was that about, miss Seas?"

Wf+6 395693

>>395686
Security has already gathered at the front. Might find an alternative route.

>>395688
You come to a fork in the hall. One right, one left. The party bursts out of the room to your right.

>>395691
You have some trouble getting free from the ground, but you see where he went.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395694

"Oh no… Now what?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395700

I poke my head out of the hole then dive back down. What do our surroundings look like?

Sateo [DD Monk] 395701

>>395693
Follow him

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395702

>>395683
Can I write this down on a notebook or pen I have, if any?

Follow the party.

Tony [Trickster] 395703

I nod at Seekkill.
"By the way thanks for dragging me in this hunt. Makes me think and realize who I really am." I smile.

I then try to wake up the little cupcake.
"Rise and shine, I am still not done with you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395705

>>395697
"Let's hope they won't cause trouble. Or we could just make out."
I snicker.

Her eyes bolt open, and she immediately tears up and squirms.

Go to the beach.

Wf+6 395736

You disappear into the crowd and find your way into a quiet woods.

>>395732
You get stuck in the hole. It makes you feel bad about the sedentary lifestyle you've adopted.

>>395730
Yep.

>>395735
You see a silhouette of a tall, gorgeous unicorn and a diamond dog in the distance. The dog is sitting on a folding chair.

Sateo [DD Monk] 395737

The sun is positioned directly behind the dog on the horizon, making it hard to make him out, but his bright blue eyes seem luminous. He takes a big drag on his cigarette.

The unicorn – who seems unnaturally beautiful – speaks up: "That's no way to speak to the Illusive Guy." He holds up a paw, quieting her, and looks at Light Heart.

Illusive Guy: "Shepherd. You've returned. After far too long, I might add."

>>395741
You're free.

>>395742
It's not as fun when she can fight back. She cries for the entire time.

"Weeping Sitar. The same pony you've been failing to acquire for four hundred years. It's starting to become an annoyance."

>>395827
"I'm not interested in loot. I'm interested in stopping the Reapers."

Chip(DD knight) 395830

>>395816
Good, pull out of her. Perhaps I'll keep her in here and bring other victims in this cave of mine until we leave Reptil, then release them afterwards. I smile inwardly.
Go for my bag and leave some food, water, candles, match and rations for her to eat.
"You stay here, if you ever try anything funny You'll know what will happen." I give her the stare as I get out of the underground hole and look for Seekkill

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395832

>>395821
Damnation. What the hell kind of guard am I. The fucking useless kind is what.
I'll sit down next to a tree. Any tree, there's hundreds of the bastards.
And there, I'll probably weep a little.

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395835

>>395829
"..Weeping sitar. Weeping sitar…"

"Have any of you a pen and some paper?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 395836

>>395829
I actually facehoof.

"Thank you."
Find Emrille

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395840

>>395813
Never say no to a good meal.
I hit the most dangerous looking one with a cursed arrow from my hiding spot [1d10+2] then divebomb him with my poison gauntlets [1d10+1].

Roll #1 8 + 2 = 10 / Roll #2 9 + 1 = 10

Sateo [DD Monk] 395841

>>395829
"We can help.. find us tomorrow? Please.."

Wf+6 395842

>>395830
She quietly sobs.

You find him.

>>395836
Illusive Guy: "Hurry, Shepherd. There isn't much time. Twenty minutes until nine o'clock."

You rejoin her.

>>395840
But that's two separate turns.

In any case, you kill the civilian in one hit.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395843

>>395842
I wave at LH.
"Shit's going down, huh?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 395844

>>395842
"Miss Emrille, listen to me carefully. If I do not remember this tomorrow, then know that Weeping Sitar is the key to solve this all."

Wf+6 395845

>>395841
"It won't make a difference now. If you need Cerberus's help, I'm happy to give it to you if it means stopping the Reapers."

He waves a paw and a hulking Cerberus appears in a burning display of conjuration.

"Help Shepherd. Go."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395846

>>395823
I grit my teeth

>>395844
"Weeping Sitar?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395847

>>395844
"Weeping Sitar, got it. Who the fuck is that?"

>>395846
"Come on honey, don't be like that. We still have a bit of time."
Lean against her neck.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395848

>>395842
Oops.
I attack another one with my gauntlets and my minion, if I have one, attacks the other.
[2d10]

Roll #1 1, 9 = 10

Sateo [DD Monk] 395849

>>395845
take the Cerberus and run after Light heart.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395850

>>395847
I scrunch and push her away

Light Heart [Warlord] 395851

>>395847
"A bard. I have met him before."

Chip(DD knight) 395852

>>395842
>>395840
"Ooohhh nice kill." I smile.
I look around.
"Perhaps its time for me to go back to the ship and see whats happening with the crew? What do you say Seek?"

"But if you wamt I can accompany you more."
:Look around do I spot anything?
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Wf+6 395853

>>395848
You stab yourself with poison. Good thing you're immune, but you're also helpless.

Civilians make shitty minions, and the other two ponies just run away.

>>395849
>>395850
>>395851
You reconvene in the woods.

Sateo has brought a Cerberus.

>>395852
Looks like the party has gathered a little bit further into the woods. You can see them.

Sateo [DD Monk] 395855

>>395853
"Cerberus will help, track pony. ye have scent?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395857

>>395851
"See you today then. We'll see what's what."

>>395849
"What the hell is that?"

>>395850
Flutter back on her back.
"Really now, Spring? You learned nothing today."

Wf+6 395858

>>395855
It nods.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395859

>>395853
"Mister Sitar is the clue to making us remember and perhaps even solve this timeloop."

>>395855
I shake my head
"Too late for that, I'm afraid."

Chip(DD knight) 395860

>>395853
I wipe my sweat. I didnt expect them to be this close.
Approach them and see whats happening.

>>395857
>>395859
"What are you ponies doing here in the woods." I stare at them as I slowly approach.

Wf+6 395862

>>395859
In response, the Cerberus takes off for town and civilians scatter as it heads off toward Weeping Sitar. This leaves a convenient empty path for you to follow.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395864

>>395862
"… Or not?"
Follow the beast

Sateo [DD Monk] 395865

>>395859
>>395860
I frown. "But Illusive man gave it to us to help."
>>395862
Follow it!

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395866

>>395853
I try to get up and my minion chases them.
[2d10]

Roll #1 4, 7 = 11

Wf+6 395867

>>395864
>>395865
You come to a stop at a fountain outside the Headthought seminar grounds.

Looks like he drowned in the fountain.

>>395866
You struggle to get up. Your minion manages to hold up one pony, but the other gets away completely.

Light Heart [Warlord] 395869

>>395867
I scrunch
"Well then. Mister Sitar is dead. Time for the next cycle it seems. Pray that we remember."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 395870

>>395867
I try to get up while my minion tries to break his neck.
[2d10]

Roll #1 6, 4 = 10

Chip(DD knight) 395871

>>395865
"What Illusive man are you talking about?" I raise my eyebrow as I follow Sateo.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395872

>>395869
I sigh.
"What a wasted day, running around for nothing.
We could have been fucking or something."

Borders Skewed [Mage] 395873

>>395869
"..I need something. Something to write. Weeping Sitar… Weeping Sitar…"

Wf+6 395878

>>395870
You get up, and he gets away.

>>395873
This plays out exactly like that huge climactic seen in Momento, where the guy absolutely needs to write down that he's been betrayed.

Then he forgets.

"OI! IT'S NINE BONG!"

It all… just falls apart.

Sateo [DD Monk] 395879

>>395869
I nod. "Mister Sitar" I pull him out of the fountain and sniff him a few times, try to get a hold of his scent. '1d10'

Tela [Spellsword] 395909

Meanwhile, sometime before Reptil, I go look for Spring Water.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395910

>>395909
I turn to face her as I hear her approach
"Tela, need me for something?"

Tela [Spellsword] 395911

>>395910
"Nah, just pissing away time until Reptil."
I grin
"Thought I'd make buddy buddy with the doc so I know my ass is safe when I get fucked in battle."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395912

A blast from the past, on the way to Reptil, I run into Chip at some point.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395913

>>395911
"Oh… Right. Seems like a lot of ponies do that these days."

Tela [Spellsword] 395914

>>395913
"What, get fucked in battle?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395915

>>395914
I roll my eyes
"No, coming over to talk to me, I mean."

Tela [Spellsword] 395916

>>395915
I smirk
"Emmy being your most loyal customer, right? That tenacious little whore."

[lemon] 395917

>>395912
Repairing, shooting, sleeping. All the same day to me up, well up until that point that little purple thing approach me. I then put down some of my tools and look at her.
"So hows your day?"

Chip(DD knight) 395918

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395919

>>395917
"Oh, hey Chip."
Shrug.
"Eh, mostly shit, but ups and downs, right?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395920

>>395916
"I don't mind really, she's… actually interesting to talk to. Well… as long as she doesn't start talking about that."

Tela [Spellsword] 395921

>>395920
I roll my eyes too now
"You're telling me, sister."

Chip(DD knight) 395922

>>395919
I nod.
"You tell me, but we are still in one piece and… life is good eh?"
I then look at her and smile.
"Just a few days away from the city yet I can already smell the cunny's up to here." I shiver in excitement.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395923

>>395922
I snort.
"Keep your dick to yourself, doggy, I don't want to hear about that."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395924

>>395921
I scrunch
"It does usually devolve in just that. Same goes for Light Heart."
I wipe my forehead with a hoof
"It's a little unnerving, really. I'm used to ponies shunning me, not hounding me."

Chip(DD knight) 395925

>>395923
I then shrug.
"What do you want to hear from me then?" I smile.

Tela [Spellsword] 395926

>>395924
I snicker
"Must be weird to have a filly in love with you when you're raising a filly of your own."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395927

>>395925
"After that crap in that basement… I misjudged you. You are not as bad as I thought. Thanks for taking that sword instead of me."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395928

>>395926
I nod
"Aside from that… I just want to be her friend, not her lover. I'm not attracted to other mares in the slightest and…"
I look down
"… I don't want another relationship. Especially not aboard a pirate ship."

Tela [Spellsword] 395929

>>395928
"So… what happened to the kid's dad anyway? Left you?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395930

>>395929
I turn away from her
"He passed away years ago. When Summer was only very young."

Chip(DD knight) 395931

>>395927
I stop for a moment on nailing a board on a damaged part of the ship, with that I put down my hammer and think for a moment.
"You are a crew now remember? My job is protectin those who needs protecting. Plus seeing a sword skewering a small thing like you would be…. a bad sight. Well for everyone that is." I scratch my head.

Tela [Spellsword] 395932

>>395930
"… Ah. Shit. Sorry doc, didn't mean to rip open old wounds like that."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395933

>>395931
"Especially for me. Fucker still managed to slash at me later, but I was faster… still, yeah. Keep up the good work."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395934

>>395932
"… It's okay, you couldn't have known."
I sigh
"Now is there anything else?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395935

And I'll just be wandering along, looking over that small book I've had with me since the beginning.

Tela [Spellsword] 395936

>>395934
"Shit… Uh…. You wanna talk about it or something?"

Chip(DD knight) 395937

>>395933
"I would really want to put down that flying coward down but he is too strong. Bah, magic what do I know. Ponies and their gods of sunlight, moonlight, let them face me in a straight fight with no assistance from their divine masters and we will see who will stand last." I then flex a muscle.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395938

>>395935
In which timewarp though?

>>395936
I turn back to her
"… No, I'll be fine. But thanks for being concerned anyway."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395939

>>395938
The past. On the ship.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395940

>>395937
I let out a laugh.
"Sure thing. Just don't let it go over your head."

Chip(DD knight) 395941

>>395940
I joined her in laughing
"Yes yes. All I can say is that you are welcome."
I then stare at her.
"Now if that is all then I will get back to work or is there something you want from me?"
"Or is there somethin you want to give to me?" I grin.

Tela [Spellsword] 395942

>>395938
"Crap… Now I feel like a cunt."
I rub the back of my neck.
"… I should probably leave now before I say more stupid shit."
I shake my head and turn to leave

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395943

>>395941
I return the smirk, take out my gun, and lazily point the barrel between his legs.
"You tell me. Do you want to get something?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395944

>>395942
Let's say I stumble upon you two at this unfortunate moment.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395945

>>395942
"Tela, it's fine. Really. You couldn't have known. And I shouldn't let it affect me like that either."

>>395944
I nod at him as he approaches.

Tela [Spellsword] 395946

>>395945
>>395944
I scrunch up and turn around again.
"Still, I don't wanna pester you if you're feeling like shit, doc."

Chip(DD knight) 395947

>>395943
I laugh.
"And this is what I get in return? Now who would've thought."
I slightly frown before turning my back and return to repairing the ship.
"If that will be all then leave me be. I got some things to finish."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395948

>>395947
I chuckle and put the gun away.
"Don't get your hopes up. I just said that you can feel free to jump in front of shit the next time too."

And then I walk away.

Spring Water [Doctor] 395949

>>395946
"Do what you want, Tela. I'm always around for a talk if you want one. And as a doctor, I can't even gossip about any secrets either."
I chuckle at that last part

Chip(DD knight) 395950

>>395948
Pound the nails harder on the board as she slowly get out of sight.

Tela [Spellsword] 395951

>>395949
"Naw… I'll leave you and Golden Boy be for now. I'll hold you to that though, doc."
And then I leave for real

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395952

>>395951
And on some other part of the ship, we can run into each other.
I smirk and flutter up on your back immediately.
"What's up you slag?"

Tela [Spellsword] 395953

>>395952
"There you are, jizzbag. I was bored looking for you earlier."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395954

>>395953
I snicker.
"What, couldn't entertain yourself any longer, huh?"

Tela [Spellsword] 395955

>>395954
"Yeah yeah, of course. So what have you been up to aside from getting molested by Abby?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395956

>>395955
Get comfy on her back by sitting down and leaning back on her neck.
"I talked with his mare. Did you see the bullet I got from that vault?"

Tela [Spellsword] 395957

>>395956
"What? No, don't you have like a ton of bullets already? With often you seem to miss your fucking targets…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395958

>>395957
"Missing? Not by a long shot. Anyway, this one was special. Made out of fucking platinum, that shit's worth a lot, but even better, it's good at magic stuff!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395959

>>395945
>>395946
I'll nod back.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything? I seem to be making a habit out of that."

Tela [Spellsword] 395960

>>395958
"Wait what? why the hell would you shoot away platinum? Just sell that shit!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395961

>>395959
I shake my head
"It's fine Curry, really."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395962

>>395961
"Now, is that the kind of fine that's actually fine, or the kind of fine you tell ponies is fine so they don't worry or pester you further?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395963

>>395960
"That's where the fun part comes!"
I grin.
"The mare of Abilio can echant the magic so it returns after it's shot!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395964

>>395962
I scrunch
"It's the fine kind of fine, of course. It's just not a subject I like to talk about."

Tela [Spellsword] 395965

>>395963
"What?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395966

>>395964
I'll close my book.
"Ah. Then I probably shouldn't pry, unless you wish to carry onward with a listening ear. Helps to yell your frustrations to the sea, as I've found."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395967

>>395965
"You heard me! I shoot the bullet, then on command, poof! It teleports right back to me!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395968

>>395964
>>395966
And then I kinda knock at your door.

Tela [Spellsword] 395969

>>395967
"Why do you even fucking bother with guns anymore? You might as well use magic bolts!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395970

>>395966
"Well I-"

>>395968
Busy day.
I cock my head.
"Yes?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395971

>>395970
Lean against the door.
"It's Felfire."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395972

>>395971
"Oh, something you need?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 395973

>>395972
Push inside.
"My head is splitting apart…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395974

>>395969
Roll the cylinder of the gun, without taking it out of it's holster.
"Remember, I have no fucking idea how to make those. I can only boost the bullets a bit."
Let out a laugh.
"And I love the smell of gunpowder."

395975

>>395973
"Oh…"
I scrunch and try a Healing spell
"That might have been a result of what happened back in Autumnsreach…"

Roll #1 1 + 2 = 3

Felfire [Necromancer] 395976

>>395975
"It's not-"
Wince even more.
"Are you sure this is how it works?"

395977

>>395975
>>395976
I wince and rub my horn
"No… that was not supposed to happen. Damn horn…"
Let's try that again shall we.

Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395978

>>395976
>>395977
I'll just watch for a bit.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395979

>>395977
Let her work.
"It's not for Autumnsreach."
Look around.
"Where is the kid? How is she?"

Tela [Spellsword] 395980

>>395974
"I'm sure even a dumbass like you could learn. You don't have to be a genius like me to use magic."
I snicker and ruffle her mane with a hoof

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395981

>>395980
I snort.
"If you are a genius then I am a fucking saint. And what's the point of boring magic bolts and shit when I can shoot bullets made out of fire? Face it, you will never be as cool as me."

Spring Water [Doctor] 395982

>>395979
"She's asleep still. She's doing alright… still a bit shaken about Autumnsreach."

Tela [Spellsword] 395983

>>395981
"Magic Bolts can be made out of fire too, you fucking moron. I just can't use 'em myself."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395984

>>395982
"Oh."
Look down, unsure on what to say.
"I hope she holds on…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395985

>>395984
"She should be fine, thanks to you, miss Felfire."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395986

>>395983
"See, that's where I am better. And that's what I'm telling you, shithead, you just fire a bolt of fire, what I shoot is not only that fire, BUT, a bullet too! Bam! Double damage!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395987

>>395984
"I think she will. She's a tough little filly."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395988

>>395985
>>395987
"She was blaming herself for killing that dog, back there."
How is my head?
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Tela [Spellsword] 395989

>>395986
I smack her with a hoof
"You keep thinking you're better, you arrogant twat. But when it comes down to it, you're jack shit without that precious little gun of yours. You couldn't beat me in a swordfight if your damn life depended on it."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395990

>>395988
Splitting open, it seems. Wince and hold it with a hoof.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395991

>>395988
"She didn't kill him, though. The Inquisitor did. And you brought him back."
>>395990
I'll grimace a little.
"Miss Spring?"

395992

>>395988
"Yes, I know… I spoke to her about it, but she kept insisting on it being her fault."
I sigh and shake my head
"Seems like our magic is just failing us all too often lately…"

>>395990
Yeah okay, that obviously needs another healing spell

Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395993

>>395989
"Ow, you cunt."
I rub my head.
"Swords are shit anyway. And hey, didn't I tell you that one time when Spring and I got kidnapped?"

Tela [Spellsword] 395994

>>395993
"Yeah, what of it? You shot some fucker, big deal. I could have done the damn same with my sword OR my magic."

Felfire [Necromancer] 395995

>>395992
Grunt.
"Thanks."
Stomp my hooves on the wood of the floor a few times, then shake my head.
"Well, just remind her that… Well, that death is not the end."
Give her two weary eyes.
"I should go back to my reading…"
>>395991
"She kinda did…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 395996

>>395995
"And you fixed it."
I'll think for a moment.
"Miss Felfire, pardon me if I'm prying, but something has been nagging me since the vaults. Forgive me if I'm overstepping, but what caused that episode you went into while the chains rattled?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 395997

>>395994
"I woke up trapped in an underground shit, got slashed on my back and stabbed in the gut, and then shot the guy! He was choking on his own fucking blood!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 395998

>>395995
>>395996
I nod silently as Curry mentions that.

Felfire [Necromancer] 395999

>>395996
Give him my best 'seriously' look before holding up a hoof and running my eyes from him to the marks on the leg.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396000

>>395999
"Well, I had hoped those were… work related, as opposed to…"
I'll be tight lipped for a moment.
"Haven't you ever wanted them healed?"

Tela [Spellsword] 396001

>>395997
"You think that's fucking bad? You wouldn't believe which kind of places I've woken up in since I became a merc. Bodypiles, slavepens, prisons… One time I woke up strapped to a sacrificial altar!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 396002

>>395999
"… You could have those scars mended to look better, you know…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396003

>>396001
"So… were you drunk, drugged, raped, or what?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396004

>>396000
Put the hoof down and speak with a dry voice.
"No."
>>396002
"And I could have the wings regrown. And the face healed of the burns. And the mane fixed."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396005

>>396004
"So… Why don't you?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396006

>>396004
"Why not?"
I'll think for a moment longer.
"Ah. The thing about not liking being touched, I assume, ties into this. The better you look, the more likely others will wish to touch you. Correct?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396007

>>396005
"I like th-"
>>396006
Wince at that.
Not so dumb at times.

Tela [Spellsword] 396008

>>396003
"Raped? Nah, that's not what Tirekians do. They just carve you to bits to worship or some shit. Heck if I know."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396009

>>396008
"Even Tirekians aren't depraved enough to give you a fuck, huh?"
I chuckle.
"How did you make it out?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396010

>>396007
I'll frown a little.
"Well, what if we helped you work through that? Fervored, myself, miss Spring, miss Summers… your friends? Even if you don't choose to heal yourself."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396011

>>396007
"That's… not a good attitude to have…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396012

>>396010
"Could you just shut up for a second, damnit?"
Raise his shadow, Fervored.
>>396011
"Yeah well, works."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396013

>>396012
I'll shrug slightly.

Tela [Spellsword] 396014

>>396009
"Managed to get a hoof loose without that cunt noticing. Jammed that sacrificial knife through her neck when she approached me to start cutting. Goddamn religious psychopaths…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396015

>>396014
"Y'know, I was never really into any religious shit, and I think that's why I'm still sane."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396016

>>396012
"There are other ways to keep yourself safe, you know."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396017

>>396016
"Soon. Soon I won't have to worry about it anymore."
Stand up and move for the door.

Tela [Spellsword] 396018

>>396015
"Exactly. Fuck divinity. And still we got a collection of them aboard the ship. Lunites, Celestials, Discordians, Grogarians… It's like a bouquet of religious nutjobs."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396019

>>396017
"Huh? … Why not?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396020

>>396017
>>396019
I'll raise an eyebrow to echo Spring's question.

Felfire [Necromancer] 396021

>>396019
Let the shadow catch up and stand at my side.
"Because he's gonna protect me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396022

>>396018
"I only listen to the one and only true God!"
Shake the bag with my doubloons to clink them together then laugh.

Spring Water [Doctor] 396023

>>396021
"So… does that mean you'll get those scars looked at?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396024

>>396021
"But shadows offer cold comfort, miss Felfire."

Tela [Spellsword] 396025

>>396022
"Yeah yeah, I know you shove coins up your cunt already."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396026

>>396023
"I like the scars."
Pass a hoof over my wing.
>>396024
Glare at him with hatred.
"What do you know."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396027

>>396026
"To be completely honest, it seems less and less every day. And regarding you, I know incredibly little, since you don't wish to talk."
I'll give a small huff.
"It gets rather difficult to call someone a friend if you don't talk with them."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396028

>>396025
Feing a troubled voice.
"I was drunk and lonely, okay?"

Then after a few seconds of silence start laughing.

Spring Water [Doctor] 396029

>>396026
"… What's to like about them? They are only a reminder of pain and suffering…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396030

>>396027
Frown and facehoof.
"Fucking good. Who on heart gave you this damn idea in the first place!"
Snarl at him.
>>396029
Calm down and stare blankly at her.
"I… Like them."

Chip(DD knight) 396031

Nailin away and repairin away.
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396032

>>396030
I'll softly stomp a hoof.
"I'm trying to be your friend because there is some good in you, miss Felfire. There must be, if both miss Seas and Fervored have taken to you."
I'll shake my head.
"And I'm offering to help you, and have helped you, because that's what friends do. What is so wrong about that?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 396033

>>396030
"But why? What makes you like them? I mean… sometimes my patients didn't mind getting scars from surgery either because they thought they looked…"
I'll sigh
"'Badass'"

Tela [Spellsword] 396034

>>396028
"It's funny because I wouldn't even be surprised if that was the truth."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396035

>>396032
"But I don't want you to! Is that so hard to understand?"
>>396033
Grin.
"Yeah right.
Badass.
Totally the reason."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396036

>>396035
I scrunch
"A ridiculous reason. That's what I always told them."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396037

>>396034
"Nah, that's too fucked up."
Lower my voice.
"But I'm sure lots of money turns you on too."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396038

>>396035
"Unfortunately not. However, you do look like you could use a living friend in addition to the others. One who can help you overcome your fear of touching, or being touched. Even if it is just through hitting me in the face."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396039

>>396036
"Good to know. Maybe now you won't try to get sense into me."
>>396038
Sigh in frustration.
"Are you really this stupid at times? Why the fuck would I ever want something like that."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396040

>>396039
"Well, you're a necromancer, aren't you? If you can raise the dead, what's stopping you from raising Fervored Freedom and living out your lives together?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396041

>>396040
Poke the shadow.
"I am, you intrusive piece of shit!"

Tela [Spellsword] 396042

>>396037
"Not like you, Emmy. Gold doesn't make me horny like it does to you. That's just fucking weird."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396043

>>396039
"So you agree you lack sense and need some then?"

Chip(DD knight) 396044

>>396031
>1
So that hamemr hit my thumb hard.
Go and visit the healers and see if I can get it fixed.

>>396043
>>396041
>>396040
|I knock on the door with my other paw.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396045

>>396042
"It's not just the money itself… it's all the things I can buy with it, and knowing how rich I am, how I can get anything… Hmm…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396046

>>396043
"I just want to be left alone. And to protect the kid. That's all. Don't try and heal me or some other shit."
>>396044
Grunt and turn to look towards the door.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396047

>>396041
"You'll forgive me for saying, miss Felfire, but shadows are cold comfort. What if you wanted children?"
I'll shrug slightly.
"Not that, at the moment you'd even consider the possibility, but years down the line, I mean. You can't do that with a shadow. You can't nestle against a shadow to keep warm, miss Felfire."
I'll shake my head.
"And shadows fade, miss Felfire. They go away."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396048

>>396044
>>396044
Busy day.
"Yes?"

>>396046
"Well I can't force you to change, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396049

>>396047
Grunt once more in annoyance.
"Exactly. Shadows. Are. Cold."

Tela [Spellsword] 396050

>>396045
"'Hmm'? Are you getting horny again?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396051

>>396049
I'll sigh.
"Well, as miss Spring said, we can't force you to do something you don't want to. I just hope Fervored will be on our side when it comes to that issue."
I'll sit down a lock eyes with Felfire.
"Just remember, miss Felfire, even if you don't really want me, I am willing to be your friend. And that means that, if somewhere down the line you want help with the touching thing, the offer stands."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396052

>>396050
Bite my lower lip and snicker.

Felfire [Necromancer] 396053

>>396051
Stare back and murmur in a menacing tone.
"I will chop your dick off if you even try."

Chip(DD knight) 396054

>>396048
>>396049
>>396047
Enter and look at all three of them.
"I didnt know you ponies had a group meeting today. So what gives?" I give a forced grin.

"By the way." I show my paw. "Got my paw bruised, hoping you can fix it somehow. Good thing Felffire is here to monitor the situation in case an accident occurs again." I give a sly grin.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396055

>>396053
"I won't lift a hoof unless you ask, miss Felfire. Friends don't do things to friends without their consent, after all."
>>396054
"So it seems. How goes the work, mister Chip?"

Tela [Spellsword] 396056

>>396052
I roll my eyes
"That's real funny, Emmy. So how many of those doubloons has your shrewd little ass scraped together by now?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396057

>>396054
Groan.
"I'm telling you.
One day Grogar will just say it's your time and dump your soul somewhere nopony will ever be able to get it from."
>>396055
"Friends don't keep asking about things friends have a problem with."

396058

>>396054
"Let me see what I can do."

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396059

>>396057
"Friends also don't let friends wallow in self-destructive behavior. Or so I've heard. Haven't exactly had many, to be honest. I'm sort of playing this by ear."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396060

>>396059
"Here's a free tip.
The moment a friend looks at you menacingly and calls upon your shadow, that's when you should stop talking."

396061

>>396058
I tap my horn in annoyance and try again

Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396062

>>396056
"Thirteen, plus a few more that I've spent already."
Reeeaaaallly comfy on your back here, Tela~

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396063

>>396060
"Well, let it never be said I didn't try."

Chip(DD knight) 396064

>>396058
I wince in pain and just give her a sharp look.

>>396055
"Good work so far, last batch of wooden pllank is not lacquired… and infested by termites thats why I replaced them. Then I accidentally hit my thumb with the hammer. Now I am here." I grin.

>>396057
I yelp.
"Well…. one day, but that day is not the day. I got so much things to live for."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396065

>>396064
I'll nod slightly.
"Sounds like quite the busy day."

Chip(DD knight) 396066

>>396061
>>396064
"Now thats better." I then stroke her mane.

Tela [Spellsword] 396067

>>396062
… spotcheck '1d10'
"Not too shabby. I only got three so far. Kinda makes me wonder if I did the right thing taking this job."

Roll #1 5 = 5

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396068

>>396066
I'll give an odd look at that.

Felfire [Necromancer] 396069

>>396063
Give a slight smirk.
"Yeah. Right. Maybe one day I will use that sweet ass of yours then. See to keep it in good shape."
>>396064
Slowly shake my head.
"It's not up to you."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396070

>>396066
I slap away his paw with a hoof
"Stop that."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396071

>>396069
I'll throw another confused look at that.
"Use?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396072

>>396067
~
"That city was slow, but I'm sure the next raid will hit jackpot. And hey, you do know these things are worth much more than bits, right? Not to mention you can work with me again!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396073

>>396071
"If I ever need to bring Fervored back in a decent body~"

Chip(DD knight) 396074

>>396070
I give her a surprised look.
"Aha… haha, alright then, have it your way." I smirk.

>>396065
I then look at Curry.
"Indeed, I also got to mop the deck since its my turn. Such tedious. boring chores, but that will change in a few days once we are able to dock." I smile.

>>396069
"Well… yeah kind of, but who knows right? You being able to revive me is proof enough that those moments are not yet my time."
"Well…. that and… thanks." I scrratch my head.

Tela [Spellsword] 396075

>>396072
"Yippee. But shit, I don't even work for the fleet right now. Light Heart is the one who paid me."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396076

>>396073
"Oh."
I'll pause for a moment.
"You do realize I wouldn't be able to go along with that so long as, one, I'm alive and, two, miss Seas still needed my help?"
>>396074
"You're quite the busy seadog, mister Chip. That does explain why we seem to run into each other so seldom."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396077

>>396075
"And who do you think she works for, dumbass?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396078

>>396074
"Yeah, say a prayer to Grogar for me."
>>396076
Grunt again.
"Jokes are wasted on you."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396079

>>396074
I just scrunch at him

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396080

>>396078
"So I'm told."
I'll shrug.
"Emrille seems convinced I'm a walking joke, so that might be why."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396081

>>396080
"Don't start crying now."

Tela [Spellsword] 396083

>>396077
"Hey if the commodore gives me an order and Light Heart gives me another, I know who I would be listening to."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396084

>>396081
I'll just give her a deadpan look.
"That was a joke."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396085

>>396084
"Sure was, fishpony."
Cough a little and lean back on the wall.

Chip(DD knight) 396086

>>396078
I give her an odd look.
"Well I'm not the praying type, but how do you exactly praise this Grogar fellow?" I then stretch my healed paws.

>>396076
"Well, I seldom talk to anyone ever since she… hmmmm,… nevermind."

>>396079
"Well… thanks for healing it 'properly'. I would really prefer if its your daughter but you got to make whats available."
I then think for a moment.
"Still thanks."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396087

Mind if I join in?

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396088

>>396085
I'll just shrug.
"Seems my attempts at humor are as poor as catching it, Pigeon."
>>396086
"She?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 396089

>>396086
"It's my job to do so, after all."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396090

>>396086
"He has an altar on the ship. I'm not sure he'd care much if you don't mean it."
>>396088
Flutter my useless wings.
"Chicken, not pidgeon."
>>396087
Sure!

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396091

>>396083
"We are pirates, we get paid, what else matters?"

Tela [Spellsword] 396092

>>396091
"Exactly. I get paid by Light Heart, not by Smitts. He could have at least tossed in a fucking doubloon for going down that temple…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396093

>>396090
"Chicken would imply cowardice, miss Felfire. And when it comes down to the wire, I don't think such a nickname would suit you. So Pigeon it is. Unless you'd prefer to be called something more flattering."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396094

I guess I finally wake up and wander over to the rest of the party, still sleepy and yawning.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396095

>>396092
"I didn't get paid either for this one. It was a favor. And trust me, you will want favors."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396096

>>396094
"Hello miss Seas. Sleep well?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 396097

>>396094
I look at her
"Any more dreams, sweetheart?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396098

>>396096
I nod.
"Yeah…"

>>396097
I shake my head.
"No…"

I also notice Felfire and Chip.
"Oh… hi mister Feelfear and miss Chip."
I yawn again.

Tela [Spellsword] 396099

>>396095
"Favors. Right. If there's one thing I've learned, there's nothing more trustworthy than cash. You of all ponies should know this shit."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396100

>>396098
I'll give a small chuckle.
If she had seen us at the altering altar in the Lunar Temple, those would be accurate.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396101

>>396099
"Yeah, I know. But favors mean more cash!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396102

>>396093
"Riiiight…
Work on something."
>>396098
"Hey kid."

Chip(DD knight) 396103

>>396090
"Well, if things gets tough, it will not be bad to pray to multiple Gods, Perhaps one of them might listen to my please. if I need something. Ahaha."

>>396088
I raise my eyebrow.
"Ahhh…. errr… haha. Well dont think about it." I grin.

>>396089
I smile.

>>396098
"Good morning, little blue thing. So hows your sleep, no bad dreams I suppose?" I smile at her.

Tela [Spellsword] 396104

>>396101
"Until the one who owes you favors dies or magically fucking disappears."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396105

>>396103
Look a bit disgusted.
"No. Just no. You know what? Forget everything."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396106

>>396098
"You sound very tired…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396107

>>396104
"I wouldn't trust on the commodore going anywhere soon."

Tela [Spellsword] 396108

>>396107
"I bet they said the exact same thing about the old one before he kicked the fucking bucket."
I roll my eyes

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396109

>>396103
"You've piqued my curiosity, mister Chip, but I suppose I'll let you off the hook for now."
>>396102
"As you like, then."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396110

>>396102
>>396103
"No miss Chip… I didn't have any bad dreams… what are you two doing here?"

>>396106
I yawn again.
"I just woke up…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 396111

>>396110
"They both needed some healing so they came to me, Summer. Tela stopped by earlier too."

Chip(DD knight) 396112

>>396105
"What? Equestria has two Gods in the past so far I've heard. Well that is until one of them goes crazy and uhmmm….. yeah."

>>396109
Change of topic.
"Uhh..yeah… right."

>>396110
"Got my paw healed by your mom. Kind of hoping you do the healing but who am I to demand and ask to wake you up just to fix my fingers eh?" I grin.

Felfire [Necromancer] 396113

>>396110
>>396111
"Hey that's not true! I wanted to see how you were doing kid!"
Walk closer to her, but just a bit.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396114

>>396108
"Tsk tsk tsk, where's your loyalty, huh?"

Tela [Spellsword] 396115

>>396114
"I'm still a merc, Emmy. My loyalty lies with the goddamn customer. The one who pays me."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396116

>>396111
>>396112
"Ooh… why'd you want me to heal you, miss Chip?"

>>396113
"I'm doing alright mister Feelfear."
I rub my eyes, finally waking up a bit.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396117

>>396115
"So you like Light Heart's payment better, huh?"
Nudge her slightly.

Felfire [Necromancer] 396118

>>396116
"Right. That's good…"
Give a nervous smile and sit somewhere, saying nothing else.

Tela [Spellsword] 396119

>>396117
"As long as she pays in gold and not in cuntjuice, yeah."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396121

>>396113
>>396116
>>396118
I'll watch that for a bit.
Seems Summer might be the best way to start Felfire getting over her touching issues.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396122

>>396119
I snicker again.
"I'm sure she takes good care of you, right?~"

Chip(DD knight) 396123

>>396116
"Preferrence? Well… to be honest." I then kneel down.
"You're Mom kind of gloomy when she heals me." I whisper.

Tela [Spellsword] 396127

>>396122
"Fuck you. Do I need to drop you on your damn head again?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 396128

>>396116
"Your mane is a mess, Summer…"
Use my telekinesis to comb it a bit

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396129

>>396127
"I'm not judging you! Hell, I was tempted by her offer too, I'm just not a slut like you are!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396130

>>396118
"How are you miss Feelfear?… Did my momma help you with your injury?"

>>396123
"Huh?… She's not gloomy…"

>>396128
"Hu- Heeey!… My mane's fiiine!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396131

>>396130
"It is a bit unkempt, miss Seas."
I'll give a little chuckle.
"Not that I'm much of one to talk."

Tela [Spellsword] 396134

>>396129
"You're one to talk, jizzbag."

Chip(DD knight) 396136

>>396130
"Well… perhaps I visited one or too many bad days." I shrug.

I then look at the three as I move around my figners an see if it is well healed.
"So you three have any plans for today?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396137

>>396134
I just chuckle for a while.
"I've been missing you, you pile of shit. Some jobs were so boooring without you."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396139

>>396136
I'll lift my book slightly.
"Just reading this old thing and wandering about, mostly."

Tela [Spellsword] 396141

>>396137
I smirk and ruffle her mane again
"I've missed you too, kid."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396146

>>396141
"I hope you didn't do anything too exciting without me!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396149

>>396130
"Yeah kid. Now I can go back to study."
Give her a toothy grin.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396151

>>396149
"Do remember to pop out from time to time, miss Felfire, and let the rest of the crew know you're still alive."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396154

>>396131
"It's not that bad though!…"
I run a hoof through my mane to straighten it.

>>396136
"Uh… I don't know what we're gonna do today."

>>396149
"Aww… you're not gonna stay to talk, miss Feelfear?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396157

>>396151
"Alive, dead. No big change."
>>396154
Sigh and move a bit closer, trying a smile.
'1d10'
"I dunno kid. What you wanna talk about?"

Roll #1 2 = 2

Tela [Spellsword] 396164

>>396146
"You don't even know. It's a goddamned crazy world out there still."
I grin
"Shame I missed out on the hydra you guys took on though."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396166

>>396164
"We fed it a fucking mushroom and it died. The real battle we had was with that fucking golem."
I sigh sadly.

Tela [Spellsword] 396167

>>396166
"A mushroom? Golems?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396168

>>396157
I'll wince at the smiling attempt.
"There is quite a change, miss Felfire. For one, we'd all miss your company."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396170

>>396157
I give her a slightly concerned smile in return.
"Uh… just… talking! About anything!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396172

>>396168
"I'd be in a better place, you know."
>>396170
Look concerned, unsure on what to do for a second, shifting my gaze back and forth from the kid to the door.
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396173

>>396172
"That's debatable."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396175

>>396172
"A better place?… What better place?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396176

>>396172
"I… I don't really think that's the case. I talk only of stupid things, yeah."
Start backpeddaling towards the door.
>>396173
But find a second to give him a flat stare.
Remember just who the hell I am?

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396179

>>396176
"Miss Felfire, perhaps you could speak about shopping for a more durable catalyst in Reptil with the good Doctors?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396180

>>396176
"W- Wait!"
I run over and her.
"Pleeease?… Can you please stay and talk? I never get to talk to you that much miss Feelfear…"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396181

>>396180
>and hug her

Felfire [Necromancer] 396184

>>396179
Stop for a moment, still uncertain.
"A catalyst…"
Look at the pendant around my neck, with Curry's horn still enchased in it.
"There's this thing called a s-"
>>396180
But then she hugs me, and I wince before freezing in place.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396185

>>396167
"Yeah, the hydra bit the bullet after we forced a poisionous mushroom down it's throat."
Lean closer.
"It might have to do something about the death of the old commodore too from what I heard. Put two and two together."

I wince.
"And… yeah. That golem was something else entirely."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396188

>>396184
Roll for comfort?…
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Felfire [Necromancer] 396190

>>396188
Put a bony hoof on her head.
"Kid, please…"
Just sigh.
I'm the adult here.
Stroke her mane slowly.
"Is it okay like this? I'm not hurting you, am I?"

Tela [Spellsword] 396192

>>396185
"Sounds like the ordinary day in the life of a merc to me."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396194

>>396190
"N- No… I just don't want you to go right now… I never get to talk to you very much miss Feelfear…"
I continue hugging her.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396195

>>396192
"You bet. We had to disable some vents to get in a Vault, but the Golem was so fucking huge it started to heat everything up. In the end I had to fire ice just to keep the temperatures tolerable…"
I sigh again.
"And that's where… Spring died."

Tela [Spellsword] 396196

>>396195
I raise a brow
"She died?"
After a moment it hits me
"… Her kid Summer… Fuck…"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396197

>>396194
"Okay kid. I'm gonna stay…
Say, wanna talk about dresses?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 396198

>>396197
I look mildly surprised but just keep listening

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396199

>>396197
>>396198
I'll cock an eyebrow as well. But this was certainly progress.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396202

>>396196
I nod and sigh.
"I payed to get her back but she was… fuck, it was fucking awful. I think she blames me for it, too…"

Tela [Spellsword] 396204

>>396202
"Yeah, good thing you got those damn necromancers around…"
I look away
"Still though… shit. That must've been fucking traumatizing for that poor kid…"
I actually shudder at the thought
"Glad I didn't have to witness…"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396206

>>396197
"Dresses?… Sure! What's your favorite kind of dress, miss Feelfear?"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396210

>>396198
>>396199
And I pay absolutely zero mind to either one of you.
>>396206
"Uh…"
Let go of her and start fidgeting with my hooves.
"I don't know. Something comfy to wear, that covers you up real nice?
I like blue…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396212

>>396204
"No… you know what was even worse than the golem? That fucking colonel or who the fuck. A pirate hunter called Rhett. He almost smelled us out as we were making a run for it with the gold… we were cowering in the fucking wagons like all of us were some sort of animals hiding from a storm. I had nightmares about him, for fuck's sake."
I shudder at the memory.

Tela [Spellsword] 396223

>>396212
I raise a brow
"Nightmares? Really now, Emmy?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396227

>>396223
"You don't even know… urgh.."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396228

>>396210
"I like blue dresses too… but I guess it's kind of obvious since, well, I am blue."
I giggle.

Felfire [Necromancer] 396237

>>396228
Smile.
"Yeah. I guess they would fit you. Maybe with a white flower in your mane…"

Tela [Spellsword] 396238

>>396227
I snort
"I think that whole filly business is affecting you more than I thought."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396240

>>396238
"That was before the whole filly thing!"

Chip(DD knight) 396241

>>396228
fallen asleep. arg

"Blue dresses? Well such colors might suit you. Makes me want to see you wearing one right now." I smile at her.

Tela [Spellsword] 396242

>>396240
I snicker
"So did you wee in bed too? Do you leave on a light at night as you sleep now?"

Tela [Spellsword] 396243

>>396242
>wee
pee*

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396245

>>396237
"I think a nice green might suit you, miss Felfire. And it would go well with miss Seas' blue."
>>396241
That's… getting a bit odd.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396246

>>396242
"It was one nightmare! One, fucking terrible one, that's it!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396248

>>396241
Glare at him with fire in my eyes while I hold Summer close.
>>396245
"One day."

Tela [Spellsword] 396253

>>396246
I snicker
"Of course~"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396257

>>396253
I smile smugly.
"You just want an excuse to sleep with me, don't you?"

Tela [Spellsword] 396259

>>396257
"Hah! Fuck no! You'd probably piss yourself constantly!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396261

>>396259
Shake my head.
"Tela, what the fuck, I'm not into that. You are sick, do you know that?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396263

>>396237
"That sounds really nice…"
I smile.

>>396241
"Huh? Why?"

>>396245
"Yeah! Green would suit you really well miss Feelfear!"

Tela [Spellsword] 396266

>>396261
I roll my eyes with a grin
"Hey, I'm not the filly who's crying about some bully~"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396268

>>396266
"You weren't there you piece of fuck! I was worried for my fucking life!"

Chip(DD knight) 396269

>>396248
I give her a confused look..
"Huh?"

>>396245
I blush.
"Now…. I remember trying to pikc up a green dress for little Ms. Summer when you and Felfire are still not in the ship. But perhaps now both of us forget about it. Maybe one day I'll get to pick it up."

>>396263
"Hey, remember that green dress when both of us are finding a dress that would suit Ms. Lucky? I wonder if I could still find it." I smile at her, remembering fond and happy memories.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396271

>>396269
"Well, once we dock in Reptil, dress shopping is an option."

Tela [Spellsword] 396273

>>396268
"Oh my poor dear! Don't worry, Tela is here to protect you~ No more boo boo's~"
I snort and start laughing out loud

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396275

>>396273
"I swear to fuck I will have Abilio turn you into a filly too and smack a collar around your neck so you can be my little bitch, Tela."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396278

>>396269
"Oh yeah… when we found that dress for miss Lucky?"

>>396271
"Why can't we go dress shopping there?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396280

>>396278
"I never said we couldn't, miss Seas."

Tela [Spellsword] 396281

>>396275
I chuckle
"I'm sorry Emmy. But come the hell on! We've been through rougher shit than that! How fucking soft did you grow while I was gone!?"

Chip(DD knight) 396286

>>396278
>>396280
"Well I could accompany Ms. Summer on that. I have a bit of a talent of choosing dresses that would suit her."
…..
"Of course not saying that she herself is not capable of choosing herself. She picked the winning dress that has planeted Abilio's eye's on Ms. Lucky." I smile.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396289

>>396281
I snarl at her.
"Maybe it was the fact that the mare who could heal every sort of shit just died in a room that was almost cooking us, then we went out to a city that was being bombarded by shitload of cannons and then have a small fucking army march past us with every single fucking pony in the city chanting his name!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396290

>>396286
"We could make a group outing of it, mister Chip. And you could even find something for anyone you might have your eye on."
I'll chuckle a little.
"This fleet likely has the most female crew I've ever seen associated with pirates."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396292

>>396290
I scratch my head
"And the weirdest pirates too…"

Tela [Spellsword] 396295

>>396289
"Yeah yeah, fine, I'm sorry. No need to get all pissy with me. But you know what the dangers of the job are."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396297

>>396295
"If I ever die on the job I hope it will be just a fast bullet to the head. I don't even want to know."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 396298

>>396286
>>396290
"Ooh! An dress shopping trip would be fun! My momma could get something too!"

Tela [Spellsword] 396299

>>396297
"You can only hope, can't you? If you wanted something safer, you could become a guard or some shit. I did that for a few years. Problem is that the pay is shit and the job boring."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396300

>>396299
I shake my head.
"I will go out guns blazing, bitch. Fuck safe and boring shit. Doesn't mean I have to like every situation I'm in."

Chip(DD knight) 396301

>>396290
"Well we will see if I can go with your group. There are far too many distractions in the city of Reptil as far as I heard so it can be a bit hard now that I think about it."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396303

>>396298
I'll nod.
"She could, indeed. Though Emrille would be livid if she weren't invited."
>>396301
"I'm certain we'll find the time, mister Chip."

Spring Water [Doctor] 396304

>>396303
"We could invite Tela too."
I snicker
"Not sure if she's the dress-wearing type though."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396305

>>396304
"Well, there's one way to find out, miss Spring."
I'll rub my beard slightly.
"Might even be able to convince her to get her mane done, actually. She'd be lovely if she put some care towards it."
I'll think for a second.
"I wonder if Mera would like anything…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 396306

>>396305
"And your sister. And Light Heart. And Rosemary."
I chuckle.

Tela [Spellsword] 396307

>>396300
I smirk and pat her on the head
"Good kid."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396309

>>396306
I'll chuckle as well.
"I wonder if we'd even have enough money for everyone."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396311

>>396307
Narrow my eyes.
"You wouldn't hit a kid would you? Does that mean I can beat the shit out of you?"

Chip(DD knight) 396313

>>396305
>>396309
"Well that and time, as far as I heard we are staying for about a day or two only."

Tela [Spellsword] 396314

>>396311
"Oh come the fuck on. Would quit being so pissy?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396316

>>396314
"I just have a lot of shit on my mind and sometimes you are not helping! And you know I get antsy if I can't shoot something for a while!"

Tela [Spellsword] 396318

>>396316
"Alright fine, talk to me then."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396323

>>396318
"Some shit you don't want to talk about, and…"
I sigh.
"That dick Curry. He keeps fucking reminding me…"
I look down.

Tela [Spellsword] 396325

>>396323
"Hey come on, we're old pals right? I wouldn't have taught you all that shit if I didn't care. Now tell me what's up."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396329

>>396325
I frown.
"When we did shit together I could always concentrate on the present, what do do, or the future, what jobs next… but recently I've been reminded, and I've been thinking a lot. About… y'know, when I was a filly."

Tela [Spellsword] 396334

>>396329
"… And what are you thinking?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396339

>>396334
Keep looking down at my hooves, and speak with a weak voice.
"Y'know… stuff…"

Tela [Spellsword] 396343

>>396339
"Aw shit Emmy…"
I pick her off of my back and give her good ol' hug
"Come on pal, chin up."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396345

>>396343
I hug her back, tearing up slightly.
"I just… I don't want to fucking think about it, I just want to live my fucking life now, but they keep reminding me all the time…"

Tela [Spellsword] 396354

>>396345
"Well shit… that's just all sorts of sad."
I squeeze her tighter
"You need a damn drink. Filly-size or not, it'll ease away the pain."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396358

>>396354
I sniffle slightly and pull away.
"Yeah, fuck it. I really do."

Tela [Spellsword] 396361

>>396358
"Come on, Chapdog showed me where they stored the booze already."
Let's get to the hold and fill two mugs with the good stuff

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396367

>>396361
I follow her.
"Just one… I don't want to get shitfaced this early."

Tela [Spellsword] 396372

>>396367
"Mmmm…"
Hoof it to her
"What shall we drink to?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396373

>>396372
I smile bittersweetly as I accept.
"Money, fucking, and all that good shit?"

396375

>>396373
"Good enough for me."
Take a swig

Roll #1 7 = 7

Felfire [Necromancer] 396376

>>396269
Keep staring at him, narrowing my eyes. Don't let go of the kid.
>>396263
"So ya wanna go hunting for dresses when in town, uh? I'm sure Fervored will love to try dresses with you too."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396377

>>396376
"You are going with her, aren't you? Enough of us should be going that we could form a decent wall for you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396379

>>396375
Raise it, then drink.
I don't think filly sized bodies are too resilient though.
'1d10-2'

Roll #1 9 - 2 = 7

Felfire [Necromancer] 396380

>>396377
"What's that supposed to-"
Let out a sigh of frustration and let go of Summer.
"Look, just forget about it, okay?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396381

>>396380
"I meant between you and the crowd. I'm sure you could pull off a delightful green dress, and Fervored might like to see that as well."

Felfire [Necromancer] 396382

>>396381
"I said, forget it. It's not something I want to talk about right now."
Look at the kid then back at him, hiding my face from her, move my lips to spell the word 'please'

Chip(DD knight) 396383

>>396380
>>396376
I look at her, wondering why she is giving me a stare like that.
"You're not coming?" I raise my eyebrow.

>>396381
"I do suggest green, it suits Summer. I dunno if that old dress is still here in the ship or we have traded it for money back in the past docks, months ago." I frown.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396384

>>396379
I put it down after a good swing.
"Ah.. okay, that ain't bad."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396385

>>396382
I'll nod.
"There's no helping it, then, unfortunately. We could bring you something back, if you'd like."

Tela [Spellsword] 396386

>>396375
Not too shabby.
"We'll get through this shit and get all the cash we could possibly want."
I smirk
"Buy ourselves places to call home for when we're too old to do this shit anymore, then spend our days just pissing away whatever cash we got."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396388

>>396386
I chuckle.
"But you are already old. Look at those bags under your eyes."

Tela [Spellsword] 396390

>>396388
I smirk
"Ah fuck you, those are just there because of all the stress I put up with from dealing with you. I'm in the prime of my fucking life!"

Felfire [Necromancer] 396392

>>396385
"I… I might just leave the boat.
Maybe if I raise a corpse or two nopony will come close even in that place…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396396

>>396390
Take another small sip before speaking.
"Step down, Tela, you are an old gun now, it's my time to shine now!"

396407

>>396396
"Oh yeah?"
Take another swig
"I'm no gun, I'm a damn sword. And I don't rust!"

Roll #1 7 = 7

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396410

>>396407
"Uhuh, but do you lust?"
I laugh and finish off the mug.
'1d10-2'

Roll #1 1 - 2 = -1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 396413

>>396410
And then fall over as I pass out.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396415

>>396392
"That's the spirit. One small step at a time."
I'll give her a little smile.

Tela [Spellsword] 396417

>>396413
"Ah shit…"
I snicker
"Let's get you to bed, old pal."
I pick her up and put her onto my back, then take her someplace where she can sleep it off in peace.

Felfire [Necromancer] 396419

>>396415
"Ah.
Yeah. Maybe."
Move aside for a second.
"I don't feel too well…
Give me a moment…"

Leave and go back on deck, try to grasp some air.
'1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Chip(DD knight) 396421

>>396419
I look at her as she leaves.

>>396415
"Whats up with her?" I ask curiously.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396423

>>396419
I'll give her a small, friendly wave as she goes.
That certainly went much better than last time.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396432

>>396421
"It seems miss Felfire has suffered quite a bit in her past, as her scars indicate. I thought it prudent not to pry too far until she wants to talk."

Chip(DD knight) 396433

>>396432
I just look at the door that is left hanging open.
"Hmmm.. alright then. Wonder how her parents might be like."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396435

>>396433
"Judging by her condition… probably worse than mine."
I'll frown.
"And my parents threw me into the sea."

Chip(DD knight) 396436

>>396435
I scoff in disbelief
"Throw you in the sea?! That is very… cruel of them. Why?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396437

>>396436
I'll shrug.
"I honestly have no clue. And I ceased to care as to the why about… 20, 25 years ago. Apparently they wanted a daughter instead."
I'll shake my head.
"But, at least she's nice. Deserves a better brother than me, that's for certain."

Chip(DD knight) 396438

>>396437
I look up in annoyance for a moment before giving him a stern look and put a paw on his shoulder.
"Look, the way she is fond of you and the way that you care for her both of you are an excellent match. What matters is that you carfe for Skylight, what matters is that you are there for her. a sister could not ask for more."

"And the way that you look at me when I am trying to hit on her is enough evidence that you would kill me if I ever played with her heart." I scratch my head.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396439

>>396438
I'll shuffle a little at that.
"Well, breaking hearts is something mares should be kept safe from regardless of family ties, and…"
I'll sigh.
"Honestly, I don't know what to do. I know she's old enough to make her own choices, but… I worry. What would you do if you suddenly discovered you had a sister? Especially one who's trying to work off the guilt she feels at how our parents were?"
I'll shake my head.
"I just can't let her get hurt, Chip. Not after what that spirit said in the vault."

Chip(DD knight) 396440

>>396439
I smile.
"See."
I then point a finger and boop it on Curry's nose.
"And that is why a sister could not ask a better brother."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396441

>>396440
I'll scrunch a bit, and then give a small chuckle.
"I suppose that's all there is to it, then. I'll just have to prove that spirit wrong that Skylight will suffer for choosing to come with me instead of staying."

Chip(DD knight) 396442

>>396441
I pat his back.
"Cmon, dont be so glum. Life could be even worse what matters is that you two are reunited and are happy at the moment."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396443

>>396442
"I'll try."
With a small smile, I'll chuckle again.
"Though, there is a small saying that comes to mind. 'It's fine to trust in the Moon, but don't forget to tie up your boat.'"

Chip(DD knight) 396444

>>396443
"True."
I then grab a cup of water to drink.
"But I can still hit on her could I?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396445

>>396444
"So long as it stays clean, and you aren't currently engaged with anyone else… I can't really stop you."

Chip(DD knight) 396446

>>396445
I smirk.
"I am clean as any Dig Dog can be, as for currently engage, hardly." I laugh.
"I'll take my leave then, Smitts might punish me for not doing my duties." I smile before heading the door.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 396447

>>396446
"Here's hoping your hammer strikes true, mister Chip, and the boards you lay set easy."

Felfire [Necromancer] 397272

And then I will try and call on Zivur's spirit through my shadow.

Hear me?

Zivur [Spirit] 397273

>>397272
…y-yes, yes…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397274

>>397273
I have lost my catalyst… It's been bothering me.

Zivur [Spirit] 397275

>>397274
W-Why… don't you h-have a spare o-one?

Felfire [Necromancer] 397276

>>397275
Shake my head slowly and tap the horn pendant.
I have now, but it's not the same. That was close to me. Too close.

Zivur [Spirit] 397277

>>397276
I ju-just used my kris m-most of the time… o-or my staff… b-but I really l-liked that kris. I-It belonged to m-my mentor, a-and every k-kris is special a-and unique…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397278

>>397277
"Ah!"
Let out a small laugh and lie back on the railing of the ship.

So did that old vial. Actually, it was my mentor.

Zivur [Spirit] 397279

>>397278
If I can control the shadow I slink a bit further ever so slowly and slightly.

I-It was v-very nice of h-him to aid y-you even a–a-after his passing…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397280

>>397279
Yeah you can.
He was never alive to begin with. Not when I met him.

Zivur [Spirit] 397281

>>397280
…….w-was he a l-lich?

Felfire [Necromancer] 397282

>>397281
No. He was just dead. Another dead necromancer just like you.
But I hadn't spoke with him for so long…

Zivur [Spirit] 397283

>>397282
Uh… i-if he was d-dead, b-but your mentor… h-how did you l-learn to s-speak w-with him?

Felfire [Necromancer] 397284

>>397283
I… It's not really a nice story.
I just knew how to. Because.

Sigh.
I didn't really call you to talk about how shitty my life was, Zivur.
I just wanted to know about your mentor.

Zivur [Spirit] 397285

>>397284
I nod slightly.
And make just a bit more distance.
H-He was nice… he w-was the necromancer o-of our village, a-and when he h-heard I w-was interested in the a-art of the dead, he s-started to t-tutor me…… e-even that my pa-p-parents… t-they c-called me worthless… b-but my mentor w-would always b-be nice, e-even if I messed up, a-and he t-taught me a l-lot when he a-allowed me to b-be near t-the deathbed o-of the o-old and sick….

Felfire [Necromancer] 397286

>>397285
That sounds so… Nice. Peaceful.
He must have loved you.

Zivur [Spirit] 397287

>>397286
Y-Yes, yes, he d-did… he was… h-he was my o-only friend b-back there…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397288

>>397287
I'll giggle for a moment.
They seldom understand us. Be it other ponies or be it our kin. It takes a special mind to appreciate that… Spark which lies between life and death…

Zivur [Spirit] 397289

>>397288
I frown slightly and shrink slightly.
I-It wasn't the a-art… i-it wasn't a taboo in o-our village…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397290

>>397289
Ah.
I will turn towards the sea.
Was it you, then?

Zivur [Spirit] 397291

>>397290
…..y-yes…yes…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397292

>>397291
Let's keep it sto-
No you know what?
Sit down.

Well I am a friend.
If you want to talk, I'm here.

Zivur [Spirit] 397293

>>397292
I… I d-don't…
I whimper slightly.
T-There's not m-much else f-for me to do, i-is there…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397294

>>397293
Shrug.
I dunno Zivur. Do you want to? I have plenty of stuff I don't want to talk about.

Felfire [Necromancer] 397295

>>397294
That should have been italic.

Zivur [Spirit] 397296

>>397294
I… I ju-just… I c-couldn't be l-like my b-brothers…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397297

>>397296
Uh. Brothers.
Look into the distance.
Guess who won on the long run, uh?
Giggle a bit.

Zivur [Spirit] 397298

>>397297
I keep silent for a bit before speaking again after she giggles.
T-They did… f-father s-said that the s-seed of p-potential was already s-spent by the t-time I w-was concieved…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397299

>>397298
Don't give me that crap.
Guess who history will remember?
I've never heard of no brothers of yours, but you were a priced secret in the hooves of some inquisitor insted.

Zivur [Spirit] 397300

>>397299
I speak bitterly and slightly louder than before.
..Inquisitors….i-if they h-had my hoof t-that means they k-killed me…
I trail away slightly, the anger disappearing instantly.
No no no n-no, please… I t-told her…. I told her not to m-make friends with t-their kind but s-she kept insisting! S-She said they w-were not all b-bad! I w-warned her, I t-tried, I re-r-really did, I w-warned her not to make f-friends with those….

Felfire [Necromancer] 397301

>>397300
What can you do. At the end of the day, all ponies are out to get you. Get everything they can from you, too.
That's why I don't care for them.


I will stay silent for a while.

Did you love her?

Zivur [Spirit] 397302

>>397301
I collapse on the flanks of the shadow defeatedly.
I s-still do…. s-so much…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397303

>>397302
One day then. I promise you.
One day we will find her and bring you two back together.

Zivur [Spirit] 397304

>>397303
I keep silent for a while again, before lowering my head entirely and covering it with my hooves.
I l-let her d-die… w-why did s-she have to love m-me, why c-couldn't s-she just stay away… w-we were opposites, L-Life and D-Death, a-and she still c-choose me… a-and I let her t-throw her life away f-for a worthless z-zebra scum like m-me!

Felfire [Necromancer] 397305

>>397304
Tap on the wood of the deck with my hoof.
Stop that. She loved you, it was her choice.
And if you and her were anything like the love I know… Then maybe, just maybe, she was able to die happy.

Zivur [Spirit] 397306

>>397305
Shake my head.
N-no, no! S-She was supposed to live! S-She was too young to d-die! She w-wanted to l-live her l-life helping p-ponies, a-and I d-dragged her to a f-fate only I d-deserved!

Felfire [Necromancer] 397307

>>397306
Maybe she did live.
Years and years and years, holding a place for you in her heart.
Maybe you sacrified yourself so she could survive.

Zivur [Spirit] 397308

>>397307
T-That's not l-like her… s-she was a knight, sworn to p-protect others… s-she was so much braver than I e-ever was… and if I had t-the courage, and if I'd h-have truly l-loved her… I w-would have scared her a-away so s-she can live without m-me…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397309

>>397308
And guess what? It would not have worked. Because if she's half the mare my stallion is, she would not have left you. Not even if you had scared her away.

Zivur [Spirit] 397310

>>397309
I'm s-so sorrry… I'm so s-sorry…
I mutter that for a while.

Felfire [Necromancer] 397311

>>397310
Scrounch for a while.
There are a lot of worse things ponies can do than having somepony that loves them.
Pick yourself up.
C'mon.

I trot over to him and offer a hoof.

Zivur [Spirit] 397312

>>397311
I glance at the hoof then curl up and whimper in an entirely different tone than just a second ago.
Gah! G-Get away! P-Please d-d-don't!

Felfire [Necromancer] 397313

>>397312
Wince and step back.
You know, I don't want ponies to touch me too.
Living ones, at least…

Zivur [Spirit] 397314

>>397313
I calm down a bit after a while, and even scamper unsurely to my hooves, keeping a distance.
I'm ju-just… I m-mean…. m-mares a-are… o-only she w-was…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397315

>>397314
Yeah well don't worry too much. I'm not sure I count as a mare anyway.
Give him a toothy grin, showing off the burnt side of my face.

Zivur [Spirit] 397316

>>397315
I gulp before speaking.
I-It's… I'm s-sorry…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397317

>>397316
Yeah, doesn't matter. We get past your problems, one at a time, uh?
Sit down and just smile a little.

Zivur [Spirit] 397318

>>397317
I… I d-don't want to impose… I'm ju-just a hoof… y-you are still alive… y-you shouldn't w-worry about me a-and ju-just do s-something else… b-because the more you did in l-life the more your d-death will be w-worth…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397319

>>397318
I'll just smile and cock my head.
Don't be silly, I just won't die!

Zivur [Spirit] 397320

>>397319
I let out a bitter laugh for the first time.
T-That was my plan t-too… I-If I knew I would, I'd s-spent my time d-differently…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397321

>>397320
I'm still wondering why it didn't work… You were a lifebinder, right?

Zivur [Spirit] 397322

>>397321
M-Maybe it was an I-Inquisitor's b-branding magic…. o-or maybe t-there was nothing i-in life f-for me to g-go back to a-and I l-let Death e-embrace me…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397323

>>397322
But branding should not…
Urgh, this is infuriating!
What god did you serve? Were you of Grogar?

Zivur [Spirit] 397324

>>397323
I s-served no god… b-but… b-by that s-some might s-say I w-was simply a f-follower of T-True Death…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397325

>>397324
Nod slowly.
So am I. But while following Death, I speak to Grogar, he illuminates my path.
Shift a bit.
Can you remember anything about your old skills?

Zivur [Spirit] 397326

>>397325
I sit down in a visibly relaxed state now that we talk about Necromancy.
I c-could sense d-dead bodies a-and death around me… I c-could speak with the d-dead… I c-could wither the flesh….. I c-could overpower t-the minds of o-others… b-but what I l-liked most was r-raising and c-commanding the d-dead…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397327

>>397326
Ah…
Look up to Terrebonne's room for a moment.
I gave up on that. Now, all I have are shadows. It's… Different.

Zivur [Spirit] 397328

>>397327
I c-couldn't… I m-mean… I f-found them c-comforting…
My ears perk up slightly as I remember.
I h-had a manticore once. H-He was called N-Nid. He w-was like a big k-kitten…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397329

>>397328
A whole manticore?
Giggle a bit.
I raised a chimera's shadow once. It was fun to ride…

Zivur [Spirit] 397330

>>397329
I nod.
O-Oh, he could f-fly too!… t-there was this one t-time… I was…
I sadden for a bit.
I w-was upset with my f-friends and w-wandered away…b-but then c-couldn't stay w-without them, a-and followed their t-tracks..
Perk up again.
T-Their c-caravan was a-attacked when I c-caught up, s-so Nid flew me d-down to them… he c-could maim p-ponies with a single paw, a-and his stinger w-was still f-full of the p-paralyizng poision…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397331

>>397330
Giggle a bit.
Maybe I should go back to corpses.
Find me a dragon…

Zivur [Spirit] 397332

>>397331
I sigh.
T-That's what killed him… a-along with Piercy. B-Both of them, ju-just gone in a g-green flash of undead f-fire. T-That was v-very sad…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397333

>>397332
Oh, you didn't know how to piece them back together?
I guess that didn't exist back then…

Zivur [Spirit] 397334

>>397333
I shake my head.
"T-There w-was nothing to piece back t-together. T-The balefire o-of that undead d-dragon left nothing b-behind but a-ashes."

Felfire [Necromancer] 397335

>>397334
Frown.
That's… So sad. I hope you got that bastard once you defeated him!

Zivur [Spirit] 397336

>>397335
W-We killed t-the necromancer c-controlling them… y-you should h-have s-seen the look on his f-face when he r-realized I w-was bringing him b-back to t-tell us about his f-facility.

Felfire [Necromancer] 397337

>>397336
Snicker.
I can imagine. But I've had a few nice moments with some dead necromancers. Even shared a tea in the mind of one.

Zivur [Spirit] 397338

>>397337
W-Well… t-there was the Crow's Head S-Society…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397339

>>397338
Oh! Tell me about them! Did they like.. Have a place all of their own? Could they do necromancy in peace?

Zivur [Spirit] 397340

>>397339
Shake my head
F-For a time….b-but that was before my time. W-When I got t-there the I-Inquisition a-already did their w-work…
Look at her.
T-They might s-say they….t-that they…f-friends… b-but they blindside you e-everytime…I-If you ever come a-across them… s-show them no mercy.

Felfire [Necromancer] 397341

>>397340
Smile at him.
You are gonna help me with that one, no?

Zivur [Spirit] 397342

>>397341
I-I've learned my l-lesson. I s-should have killed t-that those I e-encountered w-while I had the c-chance…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397343

>>397342
I won't make the same mistake.
The power of Tartarus will be upon my enemies.


Stand up.

There is a book I have to finish reading.
Wanna help?

Zivur [Spirit] 397344

>>397343
A b-book?… W-What is it about?

Felfire [Necromancer] 397345

>>397344
The demonic realms and tartarian tongue.

Zivur [Spirit] 397346

>>397345
…I'm s-still not that interested in demonology…

Felfire [Necromancer] 397347

>>397346
Shrug.
Oh well. I will have a long night ahead of me, then.

And I'll go back to Terrebonne's room, to finish the book.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398171

And after lots of hours I wake up.
Let's see how bad the hangover is.
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398172

>>398171
The headache is terrible but at least I don't have to throw up.
I hold a hoof to my head.
"Aahh, what the fuck…"

Tela [Spellsword] 398174

>>398172
I snort
"So, sleeping beauty finally decided to wake up~"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398176

>>398174
Blink a few times as I realize she's there.
"Tela?"

Tela [Spellsword] 398179

>>398176
"The one and only."
I smirk
"You look like shit."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398180

>>398179
Rub my temple with a hoof and close my eyes.
"Why, what happened that made me look like you?…aww, fucking hell…"

Tela [Spellsword] 398184

>>398180
"We drank some booze and you passed out like the lightweight you are."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398187

>>398184
"Did you put something in it and rape me? It feels like I've been shot in the head…"

Tela [Spellsword] 398191

>>398187
"Nah, I think you're just a fucking lightweight. Nothing new."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398193

>>398191
Open my eyes slightly and look at her, then close them agian.
"How long was I out? Were you around?"

Tela [Spellsword] 398194

>>398193
"Several hours. I took a nap as well and stuck around just in case you had a seizure or some shit."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398195

>>398194
"…thanks."

Tela [Spellsword] 398200

>>398195
"Hey, can't leave my old pal hanging, can I? Even if my pal is a insufferable cunt."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398202

>>398200
Smile slightly, then wince.
"I'm suffering now allright… Can we see Spring or someshit? I'm going to bite the bullet if this keeps on."

Tela [Spellsword] 398204

>>398202
"Fine fine, let's go find the doc then. Hop on."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398205

>>398204
Can I climb on her back?
'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398206

>>398205
Looks like I still can.
Get comfy on her back with eyes still closed and head laid down.
"Let's go before I drop dead."

Tela [Spellsword] 398209

>>398206
"Right. Let's."
We're off to see the doctor, The Wonderful Doctor of the Fleet
We hear she is a whiz of a wiz, if ever a wiz there was
If ever, oh ever a wiz there was, The Doctor of the Fleet is one because
Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things she does
We're off to see the doctor, The Wonderful Doctor of the Fleet.

Spring Water [Doctor] 398211

>>398209
I perk up as I see them both approach.
"Tela. Emrille. How are you both doing?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398212

>>398211
"Fucking awful… help… dying…"

Tela [Spellsword] 398213

>>398211
"Emmy made a boo boo."

398216

>>398213
"Huh?"

>>398212
I gasp and quickly pick her off of Tela's back as I use a Healing spell
"What happened!? Did you hurt yourself?"

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398217

>>398216
Wince.
"Sort of… and that didn't do much…"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398218

>>398217
"H- Huh? What's wrong miss Emrille?"
I try to Heal her.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 10 + 2 = 12

398219

>>398217
"Ah… stupid horn…"
Try again!
"What did you do? Did you fall? Break something?"

Roll #1 10 + 2 = 12

Tela [Spellsword] 398220

>>398218
>>398219
My mouth will probably fall wide open at that
"Holy…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398221

>>398218
>>398219
I'm pretty sure that got rid of that nasty hangover.
Blink a few times and perk up.
"…well shit that actually worked. Can't feel a thing! Thanks, both of you… I really couldn't have taken a minute more of that."

Spring Water [Doctor] 398223

>>398221
I let out a sigh of relief
"Good… Thank the stars you're okay. What happened?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398224

>>398221
"What'd you even do to get hurt like that?…"

Chip(DD knight) 398225

Perhaps I'll go around the ships, see if I can meet LightHeart for a change.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398227

>>398224
>>398223
Rub my head one final time then point at Tela.
"It was her fault, really!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 398228

>>398224
Your ass is mine when you get home~

>>398225
"Ah, mister Chip. How good to see you again. How has life been treating you?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 398229

>>398227
"What?"
I look at Tela

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398230

>>398227
I frown.
"Miss Emrille, don't blame others for something you did!"

>>398228
pls stop

I guess sometime in the past, before Reptil, I head over to Light Heart.
"Miss Light Heart? I did what you said."

Tela [Spellsword] 398231

>>398227
>>398229
"What? Hey that's bullshit! No my fault she doesn't know how to fucking drink!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398232

>>398230
"It was her idea! I just agreed!"

>>398231
"I didn't know it would hit this hard!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 398233

>>398231
>>398232
I scrunch
"Sounds like you both were to blame. You should have known a smaller body wouldn't be able to hold alcohol as well."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398234

>>398232
I frown still.
"You still agreed! It's your fault miss Emrille."

Light Heart [Warlord] 398235

>>398230
I just can't baby, I'm a natural
I smile as she approaches
"Ah, Summer. You have returned with joyous news, no doubt."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398236

>>398233
I pout.
"It was worth a try…"

>>398234
I sigh.
"Of course it is. Like everything else, right?"

Chip(DD knight) 398237

>>398228
I nod at her lazily and give her a weak smile.
"Like her unwanted pet it seems, These past few months has really been hard on me now that I think about it."
I then sit next to her.

Tela [Spellsword] 398239

>>398233
"Well… shit. I didn't think she'd get this messed up!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 398240

>>398234
>>398236
"Oh don't you two even start fighting again!"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398241

>>398235
"Miss Tela said she'd give it a try!"

>>398236
I nod, still frowning.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398242

>>398240
"Yeah, like I started it this time too."

Chip(DD knight) 398243

>>398235
>>398230
Wait is this meeting between Summer and LH taking place at the same time Chip is talking to LH?

Light Heart [Warlord] 398244

>>398237
"I see. Something in particular you need my help or advice on? As harsh as life may be, not all is bad."

>>398241
I raise a brow
"Indeed? Are you sure?"

>>398243
Separately

Tela [Spellsword] 398245

>>398241
"No kid, I guess it's kinda mostly my fault for pushing Emmy like that."
I rub the back of my neck awkwardly
"It happened pretty damn fast…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398246

>>398245
I shrug.
"At least it worked. I even forgot what I wanted to forget. So that's sort of good, right?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398248

>>398242
"You went and blamed Tela."

>>398244
I nod.
"Yeah! She said she'll try it."

Spring Water [Doctor] 398249

>>398242
"Don't be silly."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398250

>>398248
"And?"

>>398249
"I'm not silly. Your daughter just hates my fucking guts, that's all."

Light Heart [Warlord] 398251

>>398248
"I admit I did not expect this to go quite so smoothly. Was she not upset?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398252

>>398251
"Only for a bit… but she's not mad now!"

Chip(DD knight) 398253

>>398244
I look at her..
"Normally I would just carry you to bed and couple with you, but it seems I am not in the mood."

I then think for a moment and frown.
"Are… you well acquainted with Spring Heart? I mean have you known her well?"

Tela [Spellsword] 398254

>>398248
>>398250
"You two… I swear to god."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398255

>>3982547
I huff.
"At least if I save your ass you have the common fucking courtesy of thanking me and not just flinging shit at me constantly."

Light Heart [Warlord] 398256

>>398252
"Well that is excellent news then. Any word on when she may be confessing this crush to miss Emrille?"

>>398253
"Ah… I assume you are speaking of doctor Spring. The answer is yes, I am. As a medical professional, I highly value her presence here."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398257

>>398256
"I don't know… she just said she'd give it a try."

>>398255
"Killing my momma sure is saving us."
I frown even more.

Chip(DD knight) 398259

>>398256
I rest my head on my arms.
"Do you think she hates me? Not hate me as a pirate, most of us are pirates and she seems fond of the other crew and to you for that matter."
"Do you think she hates me specifically?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398260

>>398257
"I shot her in the head, hm? That's what happened when 'I killed her' happened? Or did you pay for her to live again? Do you even know it is thanks to me you are even breathing right now? Did that thought ever cross your mind, huh? Or that I could have shot you just as easily as I did to the gun you pulled on me?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 398261

>>398257
"Ah… let us hope her promise was not an empty one then."
I tap a hoof against my chin
"Say, how would you feel about following up on this matter? Ensuring that miss Tela does not 'chicken out' as it were."

>>398259
"I have not questioned her behavioral patterns, I'm afraid. The only thing that matters to me is her continued well-being and willingness to cooperate."

Spring Water [Doctor] 398262

>>398257
>>398260
I step in between them
"That's enough you two."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398263

>>398260
"You said you'd protect her AND YOU DIDN'T! And… and… all you did was throw a gold coin and pretend everything was alright! And then you STILL went and hurt her again! A-"

>>398262
I frown.

Chip(DD knight) 398264

>>398261
I frowned
"She killed me several times already under the pretense of healing me. I dont know if she is having fun or if that is by accident, but her…. and Summer has been doing it too frequently by now. I dont want to accuse the little filly confiding with her mother since it is not in Summer's nature if my instinct is to be trusted but… her mother is not too friendly to me. Her stares are daggerlike and…. "

I breath out in stress.
"Maybe I am just overthinking about it. If not for FellFire I will be thrice a goner for sure."

Spring Water [Doctor] 398265

>>398263
"Emrille apologized profusely for that, Summer. What happened in Stonebriar was not her fault alone."

Tela [Spellsword] 398266

>>398263
"C'mon Summer, Emmy's a bitch, but she's not that bad."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398267

>>398262
>>398263
Look up at Spring and shake my head.
"I'm getting fucking sick of that constant blame, is the thing, y'know? I can step out of your lives and see where that gets the two of you."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398269

>>398265
"But what happened at the temple was all her fault. And… just… she's dangerous!"

>>398261
"Alright… but how do I do that?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398271

>>398269
I snort.
"What next, I shot your father too?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 398272

>>398267
>>398269
>>398271
I sigh and cover my head in my hooves
"Why can't you two just stop this constant fighting… it's getting us absolutely nowhere."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398274

>>398272
"It's not like I'm hostile with her all the fucking time…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 398275

>>398264
"I have asked her about the large amount of failed spells lately already and she assured me they are not on purpose. Perhaps the stress is getting to her. Remember that she is not used to combat situations."

>>398269
"Remind her of her promise. Perhaps a little extra push here and there too to help her along."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398277

>>398271
My anger slowly disappears, in its place a seething hatred.
I lunge at Emrille and try to punch her.
'1d10'
"DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT!"

Roll #1 6 = 6

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398278

>>398277
Can I fly out of the way in time?
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Tela [Spellsword] 398279

>>398277
"Dammit kid!"
Protective Bubble on Emrille! Sentry!

Chip(DD knight) 398281

>>398275
"Hmmmm…. perhaps, I really just dont like the process of being killed then returned back from the dead. Its very…. unnerving.. and painful."
I look at her wings then to her face.

"So how about you? How is life treating you so far pony?"

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398282

>>398275
"A little push?… Like what?"

398284

>>398277
Dammit, hold her back with telekinesis
"CALM DOWN!"

Roll #1 5 = 5

Light Heart [Warlord] 398286

>>398281
"I cannot possibly complain."
I smile
"This fleet is proving to be a most interesting place indeed."

>>398282
"As I said, simply making sure she follows up on her promise. I am certain you will find a way to make it work."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398287

>>398279
I guess those two protects me even if she were to hit me.
I fly out of reach.

"Don't make me put you to sleep."

Summer Seas [Cleric] 398288

>>398278
>>398279
I bounce harmlessly off of Emrille's bubble.

>>398284
And my anger starts to fade, intense sadness replacing it. I just plop down on the ground and cry.
"I… she… dad…"

>>398286
"But I don't know how to!…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398290

>>398288
I guess she won't try shit again then.
Touch down to the ground.

Chip(DD knight) 398292

>>398286
I then relax.and smile
"So you've come to like being a pirate? Feels good eh?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 398294

>>398288
I sigh and hug her tight
"I know sweetie… I'm sorry…"

>>398290
I give her a 'why the hell did you say that?' look.

Tela [Spellsword] 398295

>>398290
I slap her on the back of her head
"Fucking hell Emmy."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398296

>>398294
Just as I am about to say something-
>>398295
I rub my head.
"What?! Oh, right, sorry, she can say whatever the fuck she wants, because I don't have feelings, right?"

Tela [Spellsword] 398298

>>398296
"You don't bring shit like that up in front of a fucking kid, okay? How old are you? Fucking twelve?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 398299

>>398288
I smile and pat her on the head
"I'm sure you'll find a way."

>>398292
"It is not the worst life a pony can have, no."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398300

>>398298
"I had enough of her bullshit! That ungrateful cunt tried to fucking shoot me once! And I bailed her ass from certain death even after that!"

Tela [Spellsword] 398302

>>398300
"That doesn't mean you can fucking pull a bullshit move like that! She's just a kid for god's sake!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398303

>>398302
"Time to fucking grow up then. If she is going to blame me for everything then she can go on her jolly fucking way without my help, and see how far she gets."

Chip(DD knight) 398304

>>398299
"There are far worse that I can imagine." I nod to her.
I then look at the sea for awhile.

"Say….. I still have one go with you right?" I smiled at her.

Tela [Spellsword] 398305

>>398303
"Think about Spring too, you retard. Last time I accidentally brought that shit up, she was on the verge of crying for fuck's sake!."

Light Heart [Warlord] 398306

>>398304
"Oh yes indeed, courtesy of our old agreement. Unless you wish for half your money back instead."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398307

>>398305
I take a few deep breaths then look away and mutter.
"Fine, I'll apologize or someshit. But she better stop this attitude or I swear to fucking hell I will shoot her and she can pray to her little god I loaded a knockout dart."

Chip(DD knight) 398308

>>398306
"Is there a way to make those encounters of our more….. frequent? You know, you and me, friends…. with benefits kind of thing?"
I lean next to her.
"I am just you know, a bit skeptical to use my coupon in the fear that I wont be able to cuddle with you again in the future." I grin at her.

Tela [Spellsword] 398309

>>398307
"Do I have to slap some more sense in you or what? Are you really this fucking inept around kids? Just put on a brave face and grow some thicker skin for fuck's sake."

Light Heart [Warlord] 398310

>>398308
"Before Stonebriar, I would have accepted such an offer. Unfortunately, variables have changed significantly since then, and I have been forced to keep such matters purely on a business level. I dare not hurt miss Rosemary's feelings."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398311

>>398309
"Easy for you to fucking say! She's not giving you shit every time you are near!"

Tela [Spellsword] 398312

>>398311
"Yeah well, I sure as fuck wouldn't do what you're doing either. You know I can't fucking stand children crying."

Chip(DD knight) 398313

>>398310
My ears flop down and frown.
"I see…. "
"Am I bad in bed?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 398314

>>398313
I let out a small laugh
"I would not dare insult your copulative skills, mister Chip. It's simply a matter of… love, I'm afraid."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398315

>>398312
"That's all she fucking does anyway."

Tela [Spellsword] 398316

>>398315
"Yeah well clearly you don't fucking know her that well then."
I look away for a moment and mutter something under my breath

Chip(DD knight) 398317

>>398314
"So its love then." I look at her blankly before looking away.

"Good for you that you are able to find yours then."
I look down frowning, a bit of frustration mounting in my tone of voice.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398318

>>398316
"If that's all that she is going to fucking show towards me how could I?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 398319

>>398317
I chuckle
"Please, I am hardly the only mare in this world. The problem lies in the fact that I am occupied. In fact, miss Rosemary and I hope to have a child one day."

Tela [Spellsword] 398320

>>398318
"I fucking swear I'm just going to put you two in a fucking room with no way out some day and make you talk."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398321

>>398320
"I told you I will fucking apologize to her, okay? Hell, I will even leave my fucking gun with you so I can't shoot her even if she asks for it."

Tela [Spellsword] 398322

>>398321
"And don't apologize in the usual Emrille sense either, okay? I don't fucking care if you have to lie over how genuine it is, just fix this shit already."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398323

>>398322
"Yeah, Yeah, I know."
Shake my head, I guess we left already to let Summer cry.

Chip(DD knight) 398324

>>398319
I then look down.
"To tell the truth, I envy you. Able to find love and nurture it. I cant even admit nor approach the one that I like if given the chance."

I breath in deep.

Light Heart [Warlord] 398325

>>398324
I raise a brow
"Oh? So you do have an eye on someone then? Do explain."

Tela [Spellsword] 398326

>>398323
"Good."
I look around and sigh
"Well at least you're not dying of alcohol poisoning anymore. That's good."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398327

>>398326
Flutter up on her back.
"I'm proud, really. I didn't even throw up."

Chip(DD knight) 398328

>>398325
I then realize what I've just said and look away from her.
"Wha?.. I…. No….. I dont want to talk about it."

Tela [Spellsword] 398329

>>398327
I smirk
"Lil' Emrille is growing up so fast. Soon you'll be able to sleep without diapers!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 398330

>>398328
"Are you sure? Perhaps I could aid somehow."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398331

>>398329
"I'd rather just fuck mares already. I heard that was pretty good."

Tela [Spellsword] 398332

>>398331
I snicker
"So you're still a virgin then, Emmy~?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398333

>>398332
"I'm not a cock-gobbling cheap whore like you, but I guess there's one way for you to be certain, hmm?"
Lean closer to her neck.
"Who knows what I might be able to show you?~"

Chip(DD knight) 398334

>>398330
I look at her.
"I would really like to tell but after some… incidents, I would really would not want to tell who it is in this ships that I like."

I just slumped on the floor of the deck.

Light Heart [Warlord] 398335

>>398334
"That is unfortunate to hear. I hope your pursuits bear fruit then, even without my aid."

Tela [Spellsword] 398336

>>398333
"Ew, I'm not going to fuck a mare. I'm not a goddamn dyke like you are, you whore!"

Chip(DD knight) 398337

>>398335
I just breath in deep and exhale out.
"After my rejection from being your cuddle dog today, I have my doubts….. really have my doubts… Still thanks for the good wish."

Light Heart [Warlord] 398338

>>398337
"Well we do still have an agreement, no?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398339

>>398336
"Yeah, yeah, I know, you like a hard dick shoved up your cunt and your down your throat at the same time…"
I chuckle.
"So tell me, what's that like?"

Tela [Spellsword] 398340

>>398339
"Maybe you should just give it a try, Emmy. I know you still think colts are icky, but they can do shit a mare can't."
I snicker

Chip(DD knight) 398341

>>398338
I nod looking away and staring at the Sea with that I stand up.
"Well, I'll be off repairing and cleaning the deck, I still have to stitch some of the torn mast. Lots of work so I'll be headin now."

Light Heart [Warlord] 398342

>>398341
"Very well, mister Chip. May the winds blow favorably into your sails."
I chuckle.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398343

>>398340
I snort.
"As if. And mares can do shit stallions can't! Y'know, because we have the same parts. We know what feels good."
I giggle, then lean even closer.
"Y'know, I wouldn't just use you as a cheap hole to fill up and get off like all the dude who fucked you did~"

Tela [Spellsword] 398344

>>398343
I snort
"Look at you, fucking expert on all things dyke."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398345

>>398344
"Unless you have a dick you've been hiding from me. You don't have one, right? Sure, I saw that you have a cunt for certain, I mean, you do wiggle your tail like a slut sometimes, but I never got to see everything."

Tela [Spellsword] 398346

>>398345
"I'm sure you did, you little pervert. I bet you dipped your hooves plenty of times inside your cunt while thinking about it too."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398347

>>398346
"My hooves? I might be a light drinker, but booze makes you a heavy sleeper, y'know~"

Tela [Spellsword] 398348

>>398347
"I swear to god Emmy…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398349

>>398348
"Hmm? Yes? I'm listening~"

Tela [Spellsword] 398350

>>398349
"I'm just saying, don't you fucking get cute with me or I'll sell your cheap as to some brothel in Reptil to be used a jizzbag by some old pervy stallions."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398351

>>398350
I pout.
"But Miss Tela, don't you wub me? Why wub woo!"

I start laughing after that terrible imitation.

Tela [Spellsword] 398352

>>398351
I roll my eyes
"Yeah yeah, you're real adorable. Gotta restrain myself from hugging the shit outta you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398353

>>398352
Hug her neck from her back.
"Yay~ I win again!"

Tela [Spellsword] 398354

>>398353
I grumble for a moment, but then turn to a chuckle.
"Right, let's go piss away some more time then. Shoot some seagulls or some shit."

I'm going to head off to bed

Emrille [Gunslinger] 398355

>>398354
"Bet you I can shoot more than you can!"

It's a good place to stop anyway, night

Tela [Spellsword] 400341

Boy, this trip to Reptil sure is taking a while. Let's go pester Light Heart while I'm bored.
"Hey Dainty Dove, how's it going?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400364

>>400341
I turn my head to look at her as I hear her voice.
"Ah, Tela. How good to see you. I trust you are well?"

Tela [Spellsword] 400367

>>400364
"Yeah yea, just fine and dandy. Bored as shit though. Figured I'd come bother you instead of Emmy for a change."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400370

>>400367
I chuckle
"I am honored that you regard me as second pickings then. Is there something you wish to discuss with me?"

Tela [Spellsword] 400378

>>400370
"Eh, figured we'd just have a little chat. You like chit chat, right?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400379

>>400378
"Why of course I do. Small talk is a lovely way for ponies to get to know one another."

Tela [Spellsword] 400381

>>400379
"Right…"
I walk over and sit down next to her
"So Emmy told me you're not from Equestria. Or not born here anyway."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400382

>>400381
"That is correct."

Tela [Spellsword] 400384

>>400382
"So… where are you from then? You don't sound like you have an accent."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400388

>>400384
"Speech can be trained, Tela. Through practice, one can easily remove any foreign influences from their tongue. As for where I am originally from… it does not matter."

Tela [Spellsword] 400394

>>400388
"Pfff, always with the secrecy. You wanna know where I was born? On a warship somewhere on the Manesian sea."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400420

>>400394
"Oh? A true seamare then."
I chuckle
"And my apologies, but I simply do not see any reason to reveal such delicate info."

Tela [Spellsword] 400428

>>400420
"Yeah well, my parents were officers in the royal navy."
I snort
"Guess they kinda got bored of the long trips too."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400436

>>400428
"Ah, I see now."

Tela [Spellsword] 400437

>>400436
"See what?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400439

>>400437
"Miss Emrille's unfortunate shrinking in size must be quite off-putting for you. That is why you came to me instead, no?"

Tela [Spellsword] 400444

>>400439
"What? Are you-"
I growl and take a step closer
"How many fucking times do I have to tell you!? We're just friends, dammit!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400450

>>400444
"Yes, of course."
I chuckle
"My apologies, it's merely hard to understand how the two of you are not more than just friends. I feel like you two are quite fitting for one another."
I wave a hoof
"But no matter, I will drop the subject. Again, my sincerest apologies. I did not mean to make you upset."

Tela [Spellsword] 400454

>>400450
I spit on the floorboards and glare at her for a moment longer.
"Duel me."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400456

>>400454
I smile and raise a brow
"I beg your pardon?"

Tela [Spellsword] 400461

>>400456
"You heard me. Let's fight! Sword to sword!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400463

>>400461
"… Very well."
I unsheathe my own sword.
"Do you care to make matters more interesting?"

Tela [Spellsword] 400467

>>400463
I unsheathe my own sword
"What are you talking about?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400468

And, traveling about the ships without a care in the world, comes Curry, with his plant. Passing along.

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400475

>>400468
And following close behind is Sekkill.
"What templepony doing with plant?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400476

>>400467
"A simple added rule to spur us on as it were. Each and every time you manage to get in a hit on me, you may ask me a question - personal or otherwise - and I will answer it truthfully. The opposite of course, is true as well."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400478

>>400475
"A small task the Commodore gave me. If I can be trusted with a plant, I can be trusted with other things."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400481

>>400475
Oh look, that's my favorite bird.
"Hey Seekkill. Are you thinking of taking a bite off Curry?"

Tela [Spellsword] 400483

>>400476
"… Deal."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400484

>>400483
"Excellent."
Get the drop on her. Cheap Shot!

400485

>>400484
"Fuck!"
Counter that with my own sword!

Roll #1 9 + 1 = 10

Light Heart [Warlord] 400490

>>400484
>>400485
Let's take turns in describing
I get beaten at my own game and stumble backwards, getting up to my hooves shortly after.
"Impressive."

Tela [Spellsword] 400491

>>400485
"Hah!"
I smirk and circle around her
"Time to tell me where you're from, Heart."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400497

>>400478
"Trust with plant? How could templepone be trust with plant? How any pony be not trust with plant?"

>>400481
I look over his side and give it a prospective poke with a claw.
"Seekkill think one bite not hurt templepony badly."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400500

>>400497
"Would you trust Emrille with a plant, after what happened down in the temple?"
And I'll glance at the poking.
"I'm not certain I'd be very tasty. Even if it would grow back."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400502

>>400497
"You should go for it."
Grin.
>>400500
"I dunno, fish is tasty."
>>400491
>>400490
I wonder if we can hear this mess…
'1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Light Heart [Warlord] 400503

>>400491
I chuckle
"Indeed. I was born and raised in Port-o-bella. A port town located on an island to the west of Equestria."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400505

>>400500
I give the spot I poked a pinch.
"No. Good muscle. Lot of muscle. Muscle has good flavor."

>>400502
"Maybe if Doctor ponies around."

Tela [Spellsword] 400508

>>400503
I cock a brow
"Don't think I've been there yet. What's it like?"
I keep circling around her.

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400512

>>400505
"I'm sure it's just gonna grow back."
Grin again.

"Can you guys hear that?"
>>400508
Poff, we find you two.
"This is fun. I call dibs on the corpse."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400518

>>400505
"Right."
I'll look a little more warily at Seekkill.
>>400512
And I'll look on the fight.
"She kept calling you miss, huh Tela?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400520

>>400512
"Yes. Can hear."

>>400508
>>400503
"What happening?"

>>400518
I clack my beak a few times while looking at you.

400521

>>400508
"It is quite lovely and picturesque. I do recommend you visit it sometime and try out the eggnog there. As one of the local specialties, I hear it is quite delicious."
And as I talk, I wait for the right moment to strike her.

Roll #1 8 = 8

400523

>>400518
>>400520
"Nah we're just-"

>>400521
"Shit!"
Parry and counter that!

Roll #1 3 + 1 = 4

Light Heart [Warlord] 400529

>>400512
>>400518
>>400520
"It's a mere exercise of fun, you three."

>>400523
Nope, this time I got the drop on you.
"You mentioned your parents were officers in the royal navy. I very much doubt they would be pleased if they knew their daughter works together with pirates."

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400534

>>400529
"Looks fun."

>>400518
"Templepony want fun with Seekkill?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400535

>>400529
"Looks fun, yeah."
Sit down and watch them.

400536

>>400529
I snort
"Haven't spoken to them in ten years, I doubt they'd even recognize me. But yeah, I imagine they'd be pretty goddamn upset about my choices in life. Not that it matters, I'm my own pony now."

STRIKE!

Roll #1 3 = 3

Tela [Spellsword] 400538

>>400536
forgot the +1

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400539

>>400534
"Perhaps. First to be knocked down, then?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400540

>>400539
"I think they are playing a truth game."

400541

>>400536
>>400538
I try to jump back and dodge her blow, then move in for one of my own.

Roll #1 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400542

>>400540
I'll nod.
"So it would seem."
Placing the plant next to Felfire, I'll move a little ways away so we aren't in Tela and Light Heart's way.
"Shall we do the same as they, then? An answer for a hit?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400543

>>400542
Poke the vase with a hoof.
Cool plant.

Tela [Spellsword] 400544

>>400541
Which you completely fail to do
"Haha! Thought you were slick, didn't you?"
I smirk
"Now… what about your old folks? What would they say about their precious little daughter being a pirate?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400545

>>400539
"Yes."
I take off my poison gauntlets and set them to the side with my other things.

>>400542
"Seekkill not care about knowing and questions from you. Seekkill care more about bite for winner."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400546

>>400545
"Fine. If you can beat me fairly, you get one bite. If I beat you, well… you don't get that bite. Is that fair?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400547

>>400546
"Curry can have bite. If Sekkill not strong enough to win Seekkill deserve to have bite taken."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400549

>>400547
"No offense to you, Seekkill, but I feel slightly uncomfortable at the idea of eating something that can talk back. Perhaps a favor instead?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400553

>>400544
I chuckle
"In truth, I am not quite certain, though I very much doubt their reaction would be positive. It has been quite a few months since I last wrote to them. And possibly a year or more since I last saw them in person."

Tela [Spellsword] 400556

>>400553
"So don't they start asking questions and shit? I mean… they must be curious right?"

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400557

>>400549
I nod.
"Favor works."
I flap my wings and launch myself at you.
[1d10]

Roll #1 3 = 3

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400559

>>400557
And I'll respond by smacking you with the butt of my trident. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 400561

>>400556
"Why of course. But I remain very vague about business matters. And they respect my privacy as I ask them to do so."
Move in again and slash at her with my sword

400562

>>400561

Roll #1 10 = 10

400563

>>400562
"FU-!"
Try and parry!

Roll #1 3 + 1 = 4

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400565

>>400557
>>400549
"What a shame. I wanted to know if Curry was still a virgin."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400566

>>400557
>>400559
And smack it does, knocking your dive off course.
"You're rather quick."
And let's take another swipe at him, this time with the haft. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 6 + 2 = 8

Seekkill [Dark Hunter] 400567

>>400566
I grab the trident with both claws and kick you in the face with a hindpaw.
Special ability thanks to those dice.
[2d6]

Roll #1 4, 4 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 400569

>>400563
Nope.
I smile at her.
"So do tell me what caused this rift between you and your parents, Tela. I am intrigued."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400571

>>400566
>>400567
Looks like a draw.
Give the trident a little spin to knock his claws off it, and then jab with the butt of the trident. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 3 + 2 = 5

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400572

>>400569
"What a shitty topic!"
Shout from my corner.

400573

>>400571
I try to pull it out of your claws and club you with it before you can break my grip.

Roll #1 8 = 8

400575

>>400571
>>400573
I grab the trident and club one of your legs with it before tossing it down and lunging at you again.

Roll #1 2 = 2

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400577

>>400575
Boxing time. Right hoof, meet beak. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 4 + 2 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400579

>>400575
>>400577
And with quite the smack, it does.
"I'm not so helpless without that stick, friend."
And now for an uppercut. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 7 + 2 = 9

Light Heart [Warlord] 400585

>>400572
"Please, I find it quite interesting."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400586

>>400572
"There are worse topics!"

400600

>>400579
I try to deflect your uppercut and headbutt you.

Roll #1 2 = 2

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400607

>>400579
>>400600
Which only served to place it better. Time to followup with a right hook. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 8 + 2 = 10

Seekkill [2/5 Hits] 400614

Fly up over it and bodyslam you.
[2d6]

Roll #1 2, 4 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400617

>>400607
>>400614
Not fast enough. Working around the slam, my hoof connects solidly.
And now, to finish with a haymaker. '1d10+2'

Roll #1 7 + 2 = 9

Seekkill [1/5 Hits] 400621

>>400617
I grab you your arm and use your momentum to throw you.
[1d10]

Roll #1 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400626

>>400617
>>400621
But it's too much, and the hoof carries through and connects with a solid thud, sending Seekkill sprawling to the deck.
Taking a few breaths, I'll break into a grin.
"You alright there, friend?"

Seekkill [1/5 Hits] 400627

>>400626
I stay on the ground, panting.
"Seekkill had worse. What favor you want?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400629

>>400627
I'll think a minute.
"Let's put that on hold, and I'll call it in when I think of something. Sound fair?"
I'll offer him a hoof.

Light Heart [Warlord] 400630

>>400627
>>400629
"A fine battle, you two."

Seekkill [1/5 Hits] 400632

>>400629
I take you hoof and stand.
"Sound fair."

>>400630
I nod and keep panting.
"Seekkill never fight for win before. Seekkill always fight for kill."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400638

>>400632
"It's a nice change of pace, don't you think? Means you can fight again later, try out different tactics, and improve."
>>400630
"Had me worried a bit when he got a hold of my trident. He's really quite strong."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400640

>>400638
"It was boring to watch."

Seekkill 400641

>>400638
I nod again.
"Yes. That is good idea."

>>400640
"Metalwings want fight? Seekkill not ask for bite from Metalwings."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400642

>>400641
"I don't fight. Have you ever seen me anywhere near a battle?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400643

>>400640
I'll give a short laugh.
"Well, you're welcome to come over and make it interesting, then. But I suppose I'm not much of a showpony."
And I'll go recover my plant.

Seekkill 400644

>>400642
"No. Fight help. Get Metalwings ready for hunt."

400645

>>400569
"Too much discipline needed aboard a navy ship. They wanted me to follow their footsteps but I didn't wanna get stuck on a no-fun prison all my life so I left them behind one day and started off on my own. Haven't seen 'em since."
Move in to strike!

Roll #1 3 + 1 = 4

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400646

>>400644
"I have my help alredy."

Raise Curry's and my own shadow.

"See? They are more than enough."

>>400643
"I can't complain, I guess. Not like I would do better."

400647

>>400645
"I see. That is quite tragic. No regrets?"
And I once again try to counter her move with one of my own.

Roll #1 5 = 5

400650

>>400647
Beat me again.
I spit on the floor.
"No regrets."
I shake my head and rear to attack her again.

Roll #1 8 + 1 = 9

400655

>>400650
Oh dear. Try to dodge that.

Roll #1 2 = 2

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400656

>>400646
"Well, if nothing else knowing the basics of self defense will help if ever something gets past us and threatens you. A scythe isn't much good in an enclosed space, after all."

Seekkill 400657

>>400646
"What happen if enemy have fire or light? Shadows die."

Tela [Spellsword] 400661

>>400655
And fail to do so.
"So what about yours huh? What do mister and misses Heart do for a living? I always thought you were nobility or some shit."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400662

>>400656
"And that's where I don't let my enemies get. And look at me. I can hardly put up a real fight without a weapon, can I?"
>>400657
Laugh.
"That's not gonna work on them. I could use them even in Tartarus!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400664

>>400662
"Well, with a little more meat on you, and the right type of holds or grapples, maybe a little clever hoofwork, and you could end up turning your small size to your advantage. Use your opponent's own strength against them."
I'll shrug.
"Unfortunately that would involve touching them, so I suppose that's not an option for the moment."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400668

>>400664
"Stop. Talkin. About. That."
Narrow my eyes and have the shadows move closer.

Seekkill 400669

>>400662
"Curry right. You need meat on you."
I laugh.
"Maybe take meat from templepony and let eye give him life back."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400671

>>400668
I'll make a motion as if locking my mouth shut, and then throwing away the key.

Light Heart [Warlord] 400676

>>400661
I give a short laugh
"I'm afraid you are quite mistaken then. My mother is a teacher while my father works in administration. Nothing quite so spectacular."

Seekkill 400677

>>400669
ewe, not eye

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400679

>>400669
"You still need a body for that, Seekkill."
>>400671
"Good."
Let the shadows go.
"We need booze."

Tela [Spellsword] 400680

>>400676
"Mmmm…"
I sheathe my sword
"Nothing spectacular indeed. Guess that'll be all for now."
I smirk
"That was kinda fun to do. We should do it again some time soon and become even bigger buddies."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400683

>>400669
>>400679
I'll raise an eyebrow at how candidly they were discussing eating me, but say nothing for the moment.
Though, at the mention of drinks…
"Something to drink might be a good way to unwind after a match."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400684

>>400680
I do the same
"Yes, indeed. It is good to know these type of things from associates."

Seekkill 400685

>>400679
"Only take some meat. Back legs and rear, Most meat there."

>>400683
"Water? Water good."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400688

>>400685
"That's just gonna make me fat. And I'm not talking water. Stronger stuff."
>>400683
"Now, if we only actually had some."

Seekkill 400692

>>400688
"Not make fat, make strong. Al-co-hall? That good too."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400695

>>400692
"I'd probably fall over before a single pushup."

Seekkill 400697

>>400695
"That why metalwings must eat meat. Eat meat, work body, get strong."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400698

>>400697
"There are other ways to get strong. Reading a lot, that makes you strong."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400699

>>400697
"There are other sorts of strength, of course. Strength of will, or mind. And I think she's got those in spades. Though some meat on you would probably be a bit better than looking half-dead most of the time."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400700

>>400697
I toss my mane and approach the group.
"Mister Seekkill please, ponies are supposed to be herbivorous."

Seekkill 400710

>>400698
"How reading make strong?"

>>400699
"They not help much against body strength."

>>400700
"That why most ponies weak. Templepony eat seaponies. that why he strong."

I look around.
"Wo getting drinks?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400712

>>400710
"Reading teaches you a lot of things.
How to call on spirits to defend you, for one."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400713

>>400710
"Perhaps, but cleverness can compensate for being much smaller. For example, certain fish form a partnership with a type of undersea creature called an anemone, which paralyzes anything that touches it except those fish."
I'll shrug.
"And I suppose we should see about drinks."

Seekkill 400721

>>400712
I nod.
"That true."

>>400713
"Smart fish."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400722

>>400710
"Strength is only a single resource for battle. There are many other resources one can utilize. Simply look at miss Emrille for example. Even in filly form, she still can use her guns to fight."

Seekkill 400723

>>400722
"True. Go no good if she not have it."

Seekkill 400724

Light Heart [Warlord] 400725

>>400723
"We cannot start going off of 'ifs', of course. Because if you were to break some of your bones, I very much doubt you would be able to fight quite as effectively either."

Seekkill 400726

>>400725
"No, but fight harder."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400728

>>400726
I chuckle
"Of course."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400745

>>400728
From my usual dark corner, I will whristle at her.
"Hey. Got any booze to share?
I'd hate to bother Terrebonne for that."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400746

>>400745
"I am afraid I do not drink, miss Emrille. So I would not know where it is stored aboard the fleet."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400748

>>400745
>>400746
"Tela and I did find a serviceable bar on one of the ships. Though I don't quite remember the way there…"
I'll finish that a bit sheepishly.

Seekkill 400749

>>400746
>>400745
"Fine Seekkill find it."
I follow my nose to the booze supply then come back once I have liberated a barrel and same mugs for us.

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400751

>>400748
"Oh, you two got drunk and then woke in the same bunk or something?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400754

>>400751
"No, actually. I just have no head for directions."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400757

>>400754
I chuckle
"Are you certain, mister Curry? You and miss Tela would make for quite the couple."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400758

>>400754
"Oh, that's why we got lost inside your own temple."
Chuckle a bit.
>>400749
"Best. Living. Ever."
Grab a mug and drink, keeping two shadows at my sides.
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Seekkill 400761

>>400754
"Weak Heart right. You strong. Tela pony look skilled with sword. Your colts be very strong."

I drive the spigot into the barrel and fill myself a mug.

Seekkill 400773

>>400761
Take a sippy.
[1d10]

Roll #1 2 = 2

Seekkill 400774

>>400773
I start coughing.
"What this? This not same thing Seekkill drink last time."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400776

>>400757
"I'm afraid we've already spoken on the matter, and have decided friends is where it should stay."
>>400758
"Considering I'd only ever gone in a straight line, that's probably why."
I'll laugh a bit.
>>400761
I'll quaff a mug myself. '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Light Heart [Warlord] 400780

>>400776
"Such a pity. I suppose miss Emrille will have to suffice then for her."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400785

>>400780
"What, another dyke on this ship? Possible none of you like a good dicking, from time to time?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400786

>>400776
Shit, what is in this… My eyes will swim for a moment.
>>400780
"That's the thing, actually. Emrille actually tried to set us up. Thought it'd be funny."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400791

>>400785
I chuckle
"I do not discriminate against any gender, miss Felfire. I don't quite believe love should be limited to a different gender. If miss Rosemary were a stallion, I would love her all the same."

>>400786
I smile
"She is quite the trickster."

Seekkill 400792

>>400773
>>400774
I shake it off and drink again.

>>400791
"Not done it yet? Not used altar?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400799

>>400791
"Not the word I'd use, but I suppose it'll do."
I'll take another swig. '1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400801

>>400791
"Bah."
Take another swing.
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Seekkill 400805

>>400792
[1d10]

Roll #1 8 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 400807

>>400792
I shake my head.

>>400799
"What word would you rather use then?"

>>400801
"I assume you disagree."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400808

>>400799
Well, that went down a lot easier.
>>400807
"One not fit for mixed company, miss Heart."

Seekkill 400810

>>400805
That's better. I take another drink.
[1d10]

>>400808
"Seekkill like learn new words."

Roll #1 4 = 4

Light Heart [Warlord] 400812

>>400808
I chuckle
"Please, we are adults are we not? Little Summer is not around."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400813

>>400807
"I would have. Some time ago.
Now I don't know what to think."
>>400808
"Oh please. Don't be such a prude."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400820

>>400810
>>400812
>>400813
Well, let's take a drink first. '1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

Light Heart [Warlord] 400821

>>400813
"How come?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400822

>>400821
Nod towards my own shadow.
"Found love."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400823

>>400820
Well, that's holding well.
"To use the proper words, I'd call her an avaricious, clam-diving, trollop of a harlot."
I'll snort slightly.
"With a terrible fashion sense."

Seekkill 400826

>>400810
I cough a couple of times and shake my head.
"This burns."

>>400822
"How make foals with shadow?"

>>400823
"What av-ar-ish-us? What trol-lop? Where place to dive for clams? Seekkill like clams."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400827

>>400823
"Say she stole your lunch too, that will make the sob story much better."
>>400826
Look at him with a flat stare.
"You don't."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400829

>>400822
"Ah, I believe you mentioned so before. It is quite the testament to the wonders of necromancy, if I do say so myself."

>>400823
I let out a short laugh
"She is quite something, that much is certain."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400832

>>400822
"Fervored, right? Good fellow."
>>400826
"Being avaricious means that someone is greedy. A trollop is a low quality mare. I could have used nag, I suppose."
I'll look at my cup for a moment.
"And a clam-diver is a term for a lesbian."
>>400827
"Please, a grudge over food is a terrible thing."
>>400829
"And I'm in her debt. Pfeh."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400835

>>400832
"He likes you.
And the food thing was a joke, dumb fishpony."
>>400829
"You know, I could probably strap a better heart off somepony's chest and place it into yours."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400836

>>400832
I keep smiling and raise a brow
"Is she bothering you so much with that still?"

Seekkill 400838

>>400827
"So what point of it?"

>>400832
I nod.
"Av-ar-ish-ous. Trol-lop."
I wrack my brain but come up with nothing.
"What les-bee-an?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400840

>>400838
"To be stronger."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400843

>>400838
"And lesbian is a mare who fucks other mares. So just about everypony on this ship."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400844

>>400835
I'll smile a little at that.
"Were I only so popular with the living. And humor, as I've said, isn't quite my strong point."
>>400838
"A mare who is attracted to mares. Like Emrille is to miss Spring."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400848

>>400844
>
>>400836

>>400835
I chuckle
"I don't think I would be quite so comfortable with that."

Seekkill 400851

>>400840
"How shadow sex make you stronger?"

>>400844
>>400843
"That stupid. Two mares can't make foal."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400853

>>400848
"So far she hasn't demanded something beyond my morals, and that platinum bullet let Mera loose."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400855

>>400851
"It's not the sex that makes you stronger.
Sex makes you weaker.
Is the pony you do it with.
What he means to you."
>>400848
"Yeah, it could explode on a moment's notice, for istance… What came of the heart we dug off that hydra? Imagine that fucking explosion!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400857

>>400851
"Some books say love is a madness. Though, with the help of the altar, I suppose they could."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400861

>>400853
"I see. I do hope she is not going overboard with these things."

>>400855
"I do not know. Doctor Peg took it into his belongings. But yes, that would make for quite the bang."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400864

>>400861
"If she starts, I'm considering disciplining her like my teacher did to me whenever I stepped out of line. A swift beating on the backside."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400869

>>400861
"Uh. Gotta ask next time we drink together.
A shame I could not raise anything on that fucking holy ground.
The hydra would have been a nice helping hoof."
>>400864
"And then she has you thrown out of the ship, nice going."

Seekkill 400870

>>400855
"Oh. Different strength.
I drink again.
[1d10]

>>400857
I nod.
"That altar very strange. It Loonite altar. Loonite doctor ponies know it exist?"

Roll #1 9 = 9

Seekkill 400871

>>400870
Nice and smooth.

Light Heart [Warlord] 400876

>>400864
"I don't quite believe that would accomplish much aside from getting shot at."
I chuckle
"If you wish, I could speak to her and get her to back down with her demands."

>>400869
"It sounds like a rather hard thing to do, raising such a large creature from the dead."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400878

>>400869
"It would almost be worth it."
>>400870
"I'm not certain, actually. Don't think so."
I'll take another swig.'1d10'
"I should probably tell at least Spring…"

Roll #1 5 = 5

Seekkill 400883

>>400878
I tilt my head to the side.
"How Loonites not know Loonite alter? Seekkill thought all Loonites knew what was in Loonite temples."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400885

>>400876
"A shadow is harder to mantain. And to find."
>>400878
"And then the fucking kid will make a scene and get herself killed.
No, you can't, because I don't want to blow up every last motherfucker here to get that kid out safe."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400889

>>400876
"Once she starts making ones that are beyond my willingness to do, I might ask."
>>400883
"There hasn't been a proper temple to Luna for centuries. And mine was hidden. I doubt they were common artifacts."
>>400885
"You'd only have to blow up the ones who don't want to let her go."
I'll stare at my mug for a bit, then shake my head.
"I think I might have been drinking too much."

Seekkill 400893

>>400889
"Oh. Do all temples have strange magic or only Loonite temples?"
Sippity sip.
[1d10]

Roll #1 9 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400894

>>400893
"Well, judging by the ghost guarding the Celestial vault, I'd say the biggest ones have a trick or two."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400897

>>400889
"Which is why I was keen on making sure to bring said artifact along."
I chuckle

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400899

>>400897
"Wait. You brought a whole fucking stone altar on the ship?"
Look at her with a flat stare.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400902

>>400897
I'll look at her in surprise.
"You brought it with you? Why would… right, Rosemary."
I'll nod to myself.
"Just don't let too many of the crew know about it. Might lead to terrible things."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400904

>>400899
"Of course. Such a shame it would have been to leave it down there. It is quite unique, I believe."

>>400902
"Not to worry, it is locked up tight and secure."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400908

>>400904
"Can't you find like, dozen potions to grow a dick?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400910

>>400908
"Why bother when we have a much better alternative at our disposal?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400913

>>400910
"Because it's a whole- fucking- stone slab?
Bah. You could have just stripped the enchantment from it and bound it to something else, easier to move."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400916

>>400913
"I'm not certain they could have. Or that there would have been enough time."

Seekkill 400917

>>400894
I shudder.
"Seekkill miss spirit temple. Dark, cool, calm, no traps for Seekkill."

Seekkill 400919

>>400913
I drink again.
[1d10]
"Maybe attach altar magic to sword?"
I laugh into my drink.

Roll #1 8 = 8

Light Heart [Warlord] 400920

>>400913
I shrug
"That would defile it's value."

>>400919
I chuckle
"Now that is a amusing idea, mister Seekkill."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400923

>>400919
"Confuses all ponies on the battlefield.
Make love, not war.
Fucking genius."
Chuckle.
>>400920
"You are wasting it if you don't study how the magic works."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400925

>>400917
"We hardly have the choice to stay in our comfort zones…"
>>400923
"Speaking of things… Felfire, you like studying magic things, right?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400927

>>400925
"You got that one right, fishpony. Why?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400931

>>400927
"Mera's pendant. It allows her to speak with us. Do you think… what would happen if the magic could be replicated? And given to other seaponies? We could talk to them. Reason. Maybe even convince them to stop attacking passing ships."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400932

>>400923
"We could study it, given time. Indeed, I was planning on asking master Abilio about it."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400935

>>400931
"And put a little pendant on every single sea pony.
And then what? They still gotta eat."
>>400932
"Good luck with that.
His schedule is packed so fucking full!"

Another swing.
'1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400938

>>400935
"There are fish. And trade. Maybe they'd like things they can't normally have underwater. Like bread, or cakes. Or other things."

Seekkill 400939

>>400935
"Not they get eaten first."

>>400938
"Tell Seekkil about Seapony that is with you."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400942

>>400938
"They eat meat, not hay. But whatever. Maybe we could just build something that gives off a terrifying shriek in their tongue…"

Start thinking.
The wine did nothing.

Light Heart [Warlord] 400945

>>400935
"Which is why it is stored safely for now."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400947

>>400939
"Mera is… interesting. She has the curious ability to change into an earth pony for when she wishes to walk on land."
I'll swirl the cup a little.
"She's rather nice, if a bit naive on how things work. Even moreso than myself."

Seekkill 400953

>>400947
"Ni-eve?"
Drink.
[1d10]

Roll #1 6 = 6

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400955

>>400953
"She's… innocent, I guess is a good word for it."

Seekkill 400958

>>400955
I laugh.
"Why she not be? She not look like crim-in-all."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400964

>>400958
I'll shake my head.
"Different meaning. An innocent, the noun, is someone who does not see evil in the world. She's fairly terrible at lying…"

Seekkill 400967

>>400964
"Oh."
Drink.
[1d10]

Roll #1 8 = 8

Seekkill 400969

>>400967
I finish the last of my mug.
"This not as bad as it was when first starting."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400972

>>400964
"I think she is quite charming."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400975

>>400972
I'll nod, and smile a little absently.
"She is. I can't help but feel she might be a little lonely, though."

Seekkill 400980

>>400975
"If she lonely spend time with her."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400982

>>400975
"Yes, she did seem that way. I believe she's attracted to you, but unwilling to make a move out of shyness. I spoke to her about it before, has she not made any moves yet?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400986

>>400980
"Would that it were so easy."
>>400982
"That's just silly. If anything, she should be terrified of me. With the number of seaponies I've killed and eaten… No matter how much I apologize to her, I don't think I can ever make up for that."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400988

>>400986
"And yet, she is not."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400990

>>400988
"Why does everything have to imply sex with you?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 400991

>>400990
"Love, miss Felfire. Not necessarily intercourse."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 400993

>>400988
>>400990
I'll shuffle a little at that.
"I don't think that's the kind of company I can offer, really."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 400997

>>400991
"Well forgive me if I'm still skeptic, okay? Love is hardly more than a word.
To the living."
>>400993
"Good."

Light Heart [Warlord] 400998

>>400993
"And yet she looks at you for it. You are quite possibly one of the few ponies she can relate to due to your shared religion. It is quite normal for her to try and approach you in such a way."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401000

>>400998
"Until she makes such thoughts known, in her own words, I will not make assumptions."
I'll shake my head.
"I don't want her hurt because I had the wrong idea."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401008

>>401000
"As you wish, mister Curry."

>>400997
"Love can be quite the powerful emotion, miss Felfire. Perhaps the most powerful emotion known to ponykind."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401011

>>401008
"And the best way to make somepony do something."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401016

>>401011
"But if love is shared, then neither one will use it to take advantage of the other. Real love, anyway."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401019

>>401011
"Such as asking for a kiss?"
I chuckle and wrap a wing around Rosemary, pulling her close and giving her a kiss

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401027

>>401016
"Good luck finding that amongst the livings. They always have something to gain."
>>401019
"Amongst other things."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401030

>>401027
"Well, companionship is usually the most common thing to gain from that sort of relationship."
I'll down what's left of the mug. '1d10'
"Sometimes, just sitting with them, feeling their warmth…"
I'll shake my head.

Roll #1 3 = 3

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401031

>>401030
"Yeah. No."
Drink.
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401033

>>401031
Okay, that's enough to keep me here.
Point drunkardly at him.
"Warmth is the last thing I would look for."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401036

>>401027
"Well… some things are just part of love, miss Felfire."
I keep my wing around Rosemary

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401042

>>401033
I'll just slump to the floor.
"An' why's that? Because of… whatever happened to you?"
My eyes will start to glaze a little.

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401044

>>401042
Throw lazily my mug at him.
'1d10'
And I think at this point Fervored would try and stop me
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5 / Roll #2 2 = 2

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401073

>>401044
I guess it hits. I'm not really moving.
"I still say you need help working through that issue. Why don't you want any?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401076

>>401073
"Ah dun' want your!
And Ah dun' wanna think 'bout that!"
Curl up a little.

I wonder if the other shadow will hoof me a bottle…
'1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401077

>>401076
Rerolling that.
'1d10'
And rolling for DRUNK if >=6.
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1 / Roll #2 9 = 9

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401078

>>401077
No more alcohol for me!

Light Heart [Warlord] 401079

>>401044
>>401073
>>401076
>>401077
Now this is quite interesting. Keep my eyes and ears open but stay quiet.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401082

>>401076
>>401077
I'll grimace at that.
"An' why not? Why can't we just be friends? An' help each other? You help me be less stupid, an' I help you with… whatever it is!"
I'll huff.
"'Sides, you like hugging Summer, don't you? Thassa warmth you enjoy."

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401084

>>401082
I will roll to commune with Fervored and tell him to bring me back to Terre's cabin.
'1d10'
"She a kid. Kids… Good."

Roll #1 1 = 1

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401085

>>401084
No commune for me, I am on the floor half passed out from the alcohol.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401088

>>401084
"Kids grow up, though. Doncha think she'll be sad if the mare who was nice to her stopped being nice to her just 'cause she grew up?"

Felfire [Darker than Black] 401091

>>401088
"Though break.
She's grown up, she can get over it…"

Roll to stay awake or mantain consciousness?
'1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401101

>>401091
Looks like she's out cold. And, before I can move to help, her shadows cart her off to… wherever. Somewhere safe I guess.
"Harrumph. Stubborn pigeon."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401103

>>401101
I chuckle and follow him on my own, having dismissed my followers.
"Are you feeling well, mister Curry?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401104

>>401103
"About as well as I can, s'pose."
I'll give a small huff.
"Why d'you think she's so dodgy when it comes to accepting help? S'like she jus' doesn't trust anyone…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401107

>>401104
"I am not quite certain, I'm afraid. And my busy schedule does not allow me to spend the necessary time to get her to bloom, I'm afraid."
I smile and walk a little closer next to him

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401109

>>401107
I'll raise an eyebrow as she gets closer.
"So, what can I help you with, Heart?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401113

>>401109
I chuckle and brush against him
"Why, I was about to ask you the very same question, mister Curry."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401115

>>401113
It'll take a moment for that to process through my addled mind.
And then I'll give a small start and move away.
"Miss Heart, I'm not… nnnnot in any condition for such an approach. An' I'm hardly a… you've got Rosemary. I can't."

Seekkill 401120

>>401115
"She has weak heart. Foals have weak heart too."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401123

>>401115
I smile and keep close
"Now now, mister Curry, that is hardly the right attitude to have. From what I have seen this evening, you are craving for some affection."
I move a little closer
"And though you are a prisoner, you are also my responsibility. I cannot have you make unfortunate decisions due to certain frustrations on your part."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401124

>>401120
I'll look at her for a moment.
"Felfire? Well, knew that. She's been through… something. Something bad. It twisted her. Hurt her. But she doesn't… doesn't want help fixing it."
I'll sit.
"Think… think she's scared of getting hurt again."

Seekkill 401128

>>401124
"No, Felfire have weak body. Not survive birthing, Seekkill think. Bad mate. Sekkill talking about her."
I point at Light Heart.
"She have weak heart."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401130

>>401128
I toss my mane
"Please, mister Seekkill. Companionship does not have to include 'mating'. I am merely offering a hoof to a pony in distress."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401131

>>401128
Right. I can blame alcohol on this one.
>>401123
I'll shake my head.
"Heart, I am drunk. I am in no condition fer these advances."
I'll scoot back a little.
"An' you have Rosemary."

Seekkill 401132

>>401130
I tilt my head.
"Oh. Seekkill thought you trying convince temple pony to mate with you. Seekkill sorry."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401135

>>401131
"Business and my private life are two separate things, mister Curry. I care very much for miss Rosemary, so I would never engage in activities that would break her heart. As such she is fully aware of the separation of my business and personal life. Now… shall we go to my cabin for some more privacy to talk further? A heart to heart, as it were."
I chuckle

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401136

>>401135
I'll shake my head.
"Flattered. But no. Can't. Shouldn't have drank so much."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401138

>>401136
I move in closer to whisper
"Nopony needs to know about this, of course. See it as… a gift of goodwill on my part. After all, who is to say you do not deserve some relaxation? The signs of stress are all over you and I would rather you have a clear mind so that you are not distracted when needed."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401140

>>401138
Can I really keep my resolve on this? Beer has weakened it. '1d10-1'

Roll #1 10 - 1 = 9

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401141

>>401140
Will of iron.
"Miss Heart, I'm sorry, but while I appreciate th'offer, I can't accept. It is appreciated, but you shouldn' jus' give yourself away. 'Specially not to me. I'm… I'm jus' a guard. Not a good one, even."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401144

>>401141
Iron can be melted, given enough heat is applied.
"And that is exactly the attitude I was afraid of mister Curry."
I smile and place a hoof on his chest
"I understand things must have been quite hard for you with all that has happened. I may not be a religious pony of my own, but I understand the importance you must see in the two unicorns, little Summer specifically. That is why I was so keen on ensuring your continued presence. And that is why I am once again reaching out to aid you. I cannot have you run around frustrated, it diminishes your capabilities of decision making and could possibly endanger my other associates."
I slowly wrap my hooves around him
"So please, take that hoof I have extended for you. Grasp this chance to relax so that you may perform better. I assure you it is quite cathartic."
I chuckle

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401145

>>401144
'1d10-1'

Roll #1 2 - 1 = 1

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401146

Light Heart [Warlord] 401147

>>401146
I release him and motion him to follow me as I find ourselves a nice spot
"Good. Shall we then?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401148

>>401147
I'll just nod and follow her for now.

Seekkill 401150

>>401148
I follow.
"Templepony sure he not mating with her?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401151

>>401150
"No… not really. I'm not sure of a lot of things right now."

Seekkill 401153

>>401151
"Remember. She make weak foals. Weak foals make you weak for caring for them."
I poke you side.
"If make you too weak Seekkill want fight again. Take big bite."
I laugh and leave, swaying slightly from my drinking.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401419

>>401151
"You worry far too much, mister Curry. All will be well, just allow me to take care of you."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401420

>>401419
"I… worry as much as I have to… S'my job."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401421

Walking around the ship.
So bored.
Why is everyone on this ship so boring.
Let's just hope I can run into somepony…

Light Heart [Warlord] 401422

>>401420
"Then consider today a day off of work."
I chuckle
"You are not the only one who cares for little Summer, after all. There are others who can jump in while you allow yourself to relax."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401423

>>401422
I'll frown a little at that.
"Yer right. They was doing that 'fore I got here… an' doin' a better job of it, too. I'm just some idiot who's been living under a damn rock for 30 years waiting to be terrible at my job."
I'll hang my head.
"It's no wonder I was thrown away. Parent's musta known I'd amount to nothin'. Spare me the problem of findin' that out myself…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401424

>>401422
>>401423
And then I run into you two.
"Oh, hey there. Whatcha' two up to? I'm bored out of my fucking mind."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401425

>>401424
I'll snort.
"Must not have taken much. You've got the attention span of a three-year-old. And listen half as well."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401426

>>401425
I shrug.
"Abilio is working again, Ruxiang just wanted to sell drugs, Tela was being a bag of dicks who can't take a joke, Chip was… Chip, eh, what the fuck can I do?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401427

>>401423
"Mister Curry, please. Cease speaking such nonsense at once."

>>401424
"We were discussing a few things, miss Emrille."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401428

>>401426
"What's wrong with Chip? Nice enough dog, for a pirate…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401429

>>401427
"Cool. Discussing stuff can be not-boring. Unless you were talking about religious shit."

>>401428
"Easy for you to say."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401430

>>401429
"We were, I'm afraid."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401431

>>401427
"It'll be nonsense if it ain't true."
>>401429
I'll just snort a little, and sway slightly.
"Why are you so Tartarus-bent on irritating everyone you speak to? Boredom? Some twisted sense of humor?"
I'll huff.
"S'a wonder Tela even likes you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401432

>>401430
"It's shit. Next topic?"

>>401431
Roll my eyes.
"And it's a wonder I haven't fed you some tasty lead yet. You are really asking for it sometimes."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401433

>>401432
"Miss Emrille, could you not do something else? Mister Curry is feeling rather down and I was attempting to talk some sense in him. Your presence is proving… not quite so helpful seeing the known history of the both of you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401434

>>401433
I smirk.
"I'm sure we could be BFFs, he just never lets me! And I told you, I'm afraid of dying out of boredom. Didn't you say I could always talk to you? Am I not an important enough partner?"
Fake a pout.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401435

>>401432
"And sometimes you're asking for a good beating, but it's not going to come to you unless I get Abilio or Spring to do it."
I'll idly move my hooves to rebalance myself.
"An' we both know they wouldn't do it anyway because you're his ginny piglet and Spring's still a prisoner to your officership."
>>401434
I'll just snort at that.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401436

>>401435
"No, they just adore me. I won't blame them, I am quite adorable. Can't help it, really! It's a shame you can't see it. I pity you for it, really."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401437

>>401434
"You can always talk to me when I'm not busy already, of course. It would be rather rude of me to leave mister Curry now, wouldn't it? Perhaps you could go rest instead?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401438

>>401436
"I find you more pitiable for several reason."
With a huff, I'll just sit down and then lay on the floor. Stupid boat needs to stop spinning.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401439

>>401436
>>401438
Start shooing her away
"Now please, I believe miss Spring was looking for you earlier anyhow."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401440

>>401437
Flap my wings.
"But I dooooon't want to take a nap!"
Then chuckle.
"Really, if you are so concerned about me and him we could have a group teraphy. We can call it a succes if I end up using less than 6 bullets. Fair deal, ain't it?"

>>401438
I chuckle.
"Sure thing, bub. Shit rolls downhill, y'know. You gotta' climb up first."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401441

>>401439
I frown.
"She's with Summer and I think she still hates me after I made her cry so she would just start shit again and I might knock her out with those darts and Spring would be mad at me."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401442

>>401440
"Maybe if you stopped throwin' shit, I wouldn't have to keep dodging it."
>>401441
At that, I'll futilely try to get back to my hooves.
"It's one thing t'act like a kid to get your own way, but to… to attack a child tha's just jealous that her mother's payin' attention to someone else is jus'… Can't you even think, for one secon' how that would make you feel if you were in her place?"
I'll wobble a little.
"But you don't need to think too hard, do you. Neither of us do. You're jus' ignoring it. Ignoring what happened while forcing the same thing on her, even if indirectly. She's terrified, y'know. Terrified her mother's gonna abandon her. Fer you."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401443

>>401440
>>401441
"Most unfortunate, but there is nothing I can do about it at this time I'm afraid."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401444

>>401443
"Yeah, so if you can't, why should I try?"

>>401442
"It's not attacking her, it's just a forced naptime. Or timeout, whatever you want to call it."
I roll my eyes again.
"Please, it's not like I'm going to fucking snatch Spring up, wave my hat and leave that little whinebag here for the pirates. She just needs to stop being so fucking selfish. Sharing is caring and all that shit."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401445

>>401444
"She's ten."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401446

>>401444
I chuckle
"I'm afraid you misunderstand. I meant that I am too busy at the moment to help. Now please… you are interrupting my work. Leave us be and come find me later."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401447

>>401446
"But I am not bored later. I am bored now. And I'm having such a delightful talk with our friend here."

>>401445
"Well fuck-fiddledy-doo, that means that she can be a little bitch who can stop her mother from enjoying life even a little?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401448

>>401447
"We have an agreement, miss Emrille. It is unwise of you to prove yourself as a nuisance. As much as I would like to speak to you, there are more pressing matters to talk about between me and mister Curry."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401449

>>401447
I'll shake my head, and then immediately regret doing so.
"No, but that doesn't mean you can just flap in, settle on her mother's back, and tell her to jus' deal with it."
I'll sit again.
"Talking with you tires me. You never look at things from the other end of the barrel. It's always you, you, you."
I'll snort.
"Startin' to think there's nothing left of that nice kid who could have grown up well, except when you take a hit to the head."
I'll settle down on the floor.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401450

>>401448
"Is it so confidental? I didn't spill any of your beans so far, did I?"

>>401449
"Oh I can tell her to deal with it. And she will have to do it, too. Just watch me."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401451

>>401450
I'll glower at her.
"It is not wise to make me angry, Emrille. Debt or no, I can at least get some small satisfaction out of beating you senseless before I'm killed. Though it would be such a shame for Spring an' Summer. They'd have to go out with me, 'cause I went out of my head an' attacked a crewmate. So sad, really. But that was the deal, wasn't it? If one of us messes up, we all swing for it."
I'll grumble slightly.
"Might almost be worth it, even…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401452

>>401450
"It is a matter of respecting privacy, miss Emrille."

>>401451
I clear my throat
"Not to worry, I believe she was just about to leave. Is that not right, miss Emrille?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401453

>>401451
I huff.
"Some noble guardian you are! 'Let the kid and her mother die for my petty revenge'."
I let out a short laugh.
"And you call me bad for killing ponies for money. Some hypocrite you are. I'm sure lil' Summer would be so glad to hear you would sacrifice her just to get at me, noble guardian."

>>401452
Sigh.
"And what the fuck am I even supposed to do? Y'know, this filly state gets really bothering in times of boredom like this."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401454

>>401453
"As you're so keen on reminding me, Emrille, I am very bad at my job."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401455

>>401453
"The fleet has grown quite a lot lately, perhaps you can do some social networking? I assure you, it is quite important to do so if one wishes to climb the ranks."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401456

>>401455
"Still waiting on Smitts on that one…"

>>401454
"I do not remind you on purpose. You really give these occasions in my hoof on a silver tray, and you know how much I love shiny things."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401457

>>401456
"Which means you are not working quite hard enough. Now… will you leave us to converse privately or not?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401458

>>401456
I'll just grumble and remain lying in the middle of the walkway.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401459

>>401457
Roll my eyes and snort some air out my nose.
"Yeah, sure, fine, fucking whatever. If you insist."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401460

>>401459
I smile
"Excellent."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401461

>>401460
>>401458
"Yeah, yeah…"

I guess pass by them and keep aimlessly wandering.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401462

>>401458
"Now… will you get up, mister Curry? Or are you comfortable there?"
I chuckle

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401463

>>401462
"Harrumph."
I'll get up, and lean a little against the wall.
"Stupid… can't even see what she already has…"
I'll take another moment or two to get my balance back, and then nod to Light Heart.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401464

>>401463
I walk over to him and brush against him
"Do not pay any mind to her. She only uses you as a scapegoat and nothing more. Believe it or not, she can be quite agreeable if approached correctly."
I chuckle

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401465

After leaving those two behind I continue wandering, whistling to myself, occasionally interrupting it with sing-songing.
"♪Money makin'…Money taken♪.. I looove that money♫…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401466

>>401464
"I've tried bein' friends with tha' overgrown seagull too many times. Faking nice is all she gets now."
I'll snort a little.
"Y'know, the midget doesn't even know I was the one who told Spring to adopt her. Or offer. Said not to tell Emrille, since she'd jus' refuse out of spite, prolly."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401467

>>401466
"… Adopt her. I see."
I smile at him
"But let us not concentrate on miss Emrille. Come, let us find a more private location in case she changes her mind and doubles back."
I lead him along to one of the darker corners of the Darklantern. Shouldn't be so hard, right?
"Now… any preferences, mister Curry?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401468

>>401467
"Preferences?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401469

>>401468
I chuckle
"How far we shall take this 'exercise', I mean."
I saunter over to him and slowly push him onto his back.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401470

>>401469
I'll fidget slightly.
"I don't… I've never…"
Trailing off, I'll look slightly to the side.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401472

>>401470
"… Ah."
I smirk.
"I see. I must say that is rather surprising, for a handsome stallion such as yourself to have never had a mare… or a stallion."
I move over as I push him all the way onto his back and rest myself on top of his belly, softly grinding against him.
"I am certain you wont be disappointed though."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401482

>>401472
I'm just going to remain silent for now. This sensation is wholly unprecedented.
"Ah, that… feels nice…"
Eventually the fifth leg will make its appearance, lightly prodding Light Heart in the back.

401500

>>401482
I chuckle at his reaction and keep grinding against him.
"But of course it does."
And then, when we're sufficiently warmed up from the exercise I get up slightly, only to lower myself again on his HORSESEX

Roll #1 10, 7, 8, 9, 5 = 39

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401501

>>401500
Yup, WHORSE SEX
'5d10'
+5 if Curry's mark contributes.

Roll #1 3, 5, 1, 6, 9 = 24

Light Heart [Warlord] 401513

>>401500
>>401501
>63
Sure if he likes it rough
Guess we'll just cuddle for a while after that.
"Thoughts, mister Curry?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401515

>>401513
That's the thing, he doesn't know.
I'll just breath for a bit after that.
"You're… really good at that."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401516

>>401515
"So I am told."
I chuckle
"I do hope you found it as enjoyable as I did. You were quite… large."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401517

>>401516
I'll blush a bit at that.
"It didn't… hurt, did it?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401518

>>401517
"Not in the slightest. Although you seemed somewhat hesitant and unsure. Did you not find it relaxing?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401519

>>401518
"I… dunno. It's just… this sort of thing, I was always told it was supposed to happen between two ponies who love each other. Who want to spend their lives together."
I'll roll over slightly, facing away from Light Heart.
"An'… while it's not exactly forbidden, I… that was the first time, y'know. I just… have to come to grips with this."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401520

>>401519
I smile
"You may have noticed that I am not one for religion, mister Curry. I very much doubt anypony would blame you for wishing to enjoy yourself, so neither should you."
I inch closer as he turns away from me and wrap my hooves around him
"Do try not overthinking it too much. You must have found the deed satisfactory at least, correct?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401521

>>401520
I'll nod, and blush a little as blood starts going southwards again.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401522

>>401521
"I am happy to hear so."
I chuckle as I notice
"And feel so too, it seems."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401523

>>401522
"W-well, since it seems the mood's still there… might as well take care of it, right?"
I'll absently fidget my front hooves, worries on hold until the alcohol is out of my system.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401524

>>401523
I chuckle and roll him over to face me again.
"Any suggestions in mind?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401527

>>401524
I'll blush under my beard.
"Well, we could… could, well."
I'll clear my throat a little.
"Could have another go at it."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401544

>>401527
"No desire for a different type of relaxation?"
I take out my bottle of pills and take one, then put the bottle away again.
"It is all the same to me, of course."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401546

>>401544
"Well, I doubt you enjoyed the first go around, an' I was taught that you should give at least as good as you get, so…"
I'll shrug as best I'm able and give a sheepish smile.
"I'm up for returning the favor?"

401563

>>401546
I chuckle
"No need to worry, mister Curry. Let us just try again, I am certain you will be more comfortable this time around. I only wish for you to relax and enjoy yourself."
Push him onto his back again and crawl on top of him, mounting him again and HORSESEX 2.0: REVENGE OF THE DONG

Roll #1 9, 2, 2, 3, 5 = 21

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401564

>>401563
And here we go.
The Re-dickening.
'5d10'

Roll #1 4, 2, 9, 10, 8 = 33

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401565

>>401563
>>401564
Looks like I came out on top that time.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401568

>>401563
>>401564
It would seem that my poor heart is having issues keeping up.

>>401565
Panting quite heavily, I'm the one rolling onto my back this time, completely exhausted by the exercise.
"… My… apologies… got… tired… too… fast…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401572

>>401568
"Are you okay?"
I'll look a little concerned.
"Should I go get Rosemary?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401575

>>401572
I shake my head
"No… give me… a moment… to recover from that…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401583

>>401575
Sadness and worry will flit across my face.
"I shouldn't have pushed you for it. I'm sorry… Is there anythin' I can do to help?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401587

>>401583
Calming myself down even further
"No… I'm fine. Do not worry about me, mister Curry. It simply happens sometimes."
I chuckle
"I suppose it may have slipped my mind that I must exercise caution due to my condition after faring so well for the longest time."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401589

>>401587
I'll look uncertain.
"You sure?I wouldn't want to make Rosemary cry-"
And then my face will fall.
"Oh. Oh no. I shouldn't have… even if…"
I'll back away and sit a few feet away.
"I'm never drinkin' again. Never."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401597

>>401589
I cock my head slightly and get up, sauntering over to him and hugging him from behind.
"Miss Rosemary knows about the things I do for business, mister Curry. If you are worried about breaking her heart, there is hardly any need to."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401603

>>401597
I'll shake my head.
"Still not… not right."
Put my head in my hooves.
"You wanted to help me feel better, but I just… took advantage of that. An' it almost hurt you. I don't know what to do if your heart stops, aside for run for one of the doctors…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401616

>>401603
"I have my pills, mister Curry. And there are plenty of medical ponies about, I made sure of that personally."
I chuckle
"And you hardly took advantage of me. I quite enjoyed this whole ordeal, in fact."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401619

>>401616
"Well, there's something I've done right, at least."
I'll give a halfhearted chuckle.
"But you'll forgive me if I ask that this never leave this room."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401626

>>401619
"You were actually very good the second time around."
I smile and kiss him on the neck from behind
"And of course, that is a most understandable request. I will not speak about it to anypony."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401630

>>401626
I'll blush a little.
"Well, fair's fair, right? And… thank you. After I get a little sleep, I think I should be a little more relaxed."
I'll give a small smile.
"You're really kind, you know? Probably why Rosemary likes you so much."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401659

>>401630
"You give a pirate too much credit, mister Curry. Miss Rosemary is the kind one, of course. I am more of a… generous type."
I keep up my embrace

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401664

>>401659
I'll relax a bit into it.
"Perhaps she's rubbing off on you, then… even in the last few days, you've gotten… softer, I guess is the word. Mostly the eyes. Your smile never used to go to your eyes…"
And then I'll drift off to sleep.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401669

>>401664
I chuckle
"I suppose… I suppose…"
And then as he falls asleep, I take up a comfortable position and go to sleep while embracing him myself still

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401679

And then I'll wake up. Oddly warm, and… I'm not in the brig.
Blinking a few times, I'll look around.
Not, this certainly isn't the brig. And whose hooves are these?
"Oh… right."
As the hazy events of the previous evening come into focus, I'll swallow a little heavily.

401680

>>401679
Do I wake up from the movement?

Roll #1 3 = 3

Light Heart [Warlord] 401681

>>401680
Nope, I stay locked in a peaceful slumber.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401682

>>401680
Okay, Curry, think. How did this happen.
Breathe slightly. In, out, in, out.
Miss Heart was doing me a favor. Help me relax, right? Right. But… this sort of relaxation… it's not proper. She smells nice though… No. No, focus.
Gently, so gently, I'll extricate myself from her grip. '1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401684

>>401682
Oh, that's not gently at all.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401685

>>401682
Looks like I'm hugging you too tight. That'll probably wake me up though. My eyes slowly flutter open and I let out a small yawn as I look around, then settling my gaze on Curry with a smile.
"Good morning, mister Curry."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401686

>>401685
Ah crap.
"G-good morning, miss Heart."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401689

>>401686
"Did you have a good night's rest?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401690

>>401689
"It… it was pleasant, yes. I trust you weren't… uncomfortable?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401693

>>401690
"Not in the slightest. I must say you make for an excellent cushion."
I chuckle

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401697

>>401693
I'll shift a little at that.
"Mera thought so as well, actually. Back in the temple, while I was carrying her."
I'll stare at my hooves for a moment.
"So… ahem. I'm… not quite certain where things go from here."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401700

>>401697
I move in a little closer and nuzzle his cheek
"That is a matter for you to decide, mister Curry. So long as you continue to cooperate with me, I will be available to provide you comfort whenever needed. It will certainly help you relax and work off stress."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401703

>>401700
Well, now things get awkward.
"Miss Heart, as… as grateful as I am for this kindness, I… I can't quite accept. I will endeavor not to cause trouble for you, as I do still owe you for my life, but it would not be right of me to take advantage of you that way. And… and what if something happened? A pirate fleet is no place to raise a child…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401707

>>401703
I chuckle
"I don't quite think there is much need to worry about that. And you are hardly taking advantage of me if I am the one offering. As I mentioned yesterday, I wish to help you wind down a little so that you may do your job better. With all the happenings lately, it is understandable you are under quite a lot of pressure."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401712

>>401707
"Even so, it would be unkind of me to start viewing you as simply a method of venting instead of a pony."
I'll shake my head.
"You are a better… friend, than that. So while I may not come to you for… this… I wouldn't be against talking, every now and then."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401731

>>401712
"Please, I would be glad to help you in whichever way you desired. It is not as if I cannot enjoy myself either this way."
I give him some bedroom eyes and brush against him

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401734

>>401731
'1d10'
"M-miss Heart, please."

Roll #1 3 = 3

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401735

>>401734
Ah dang, looks like the little fellow downstairs is starting to wake up.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401739

>>401735
I chuckle and take a step back
"My apologies. Though it does seem you are not quite satisfied quite yet."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401743

>>401739
I'll blush slightly.
"Well, miss Heart, when an attractive mare makes such advances… It's only natural."
Coughing a bit, I'll look away.
"And I don't want to risk you overexerting yourself on my account. It'll go away in a little while…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401754

>>401743
"I am in fact very well rested, mister Curry."
I take a step closer again and run my hoof over his crotch
"All you must to is say the word."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401760

>>401754
Fidget nervously.
"I… well…"
Swallow heavily.
"Well, if t-there's no helping it…"

401788

>>401760
"Very well then mister Curry. Just sit back and let me hoofle this matter then."
I bend over and go down on him, ENDLESS HORSESEX

Roll #1 5 = 5

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401838

>>401788
Well, this is new. And pleasant.
Let's see if I can't return the favor by massaging the pits of her wings and maybe the insides of her nethers
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

401847

>>401838
Well… that sure is unexpected. Guess I'll try to redouble my efforts and get him to finish up.

Roll #1 4 = 4

Light Heart [Warlord] 401849

>>401847
Looks like I'm a little too distracted by what's going on back there.
I'll just release him and slump down slightly.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401853

>>401847
>>401849
Well, at least I'm doing it right. Let's wander around back and get to work down there. Only fair, after all. '1d10'

Roll #1 5 = 5

Light Heart [Warlord] 401858

>>401853
And then, when we're both finished up, I'll pick myself off of the floor and dust myself off.
"That was… delightful, mister Curry. Thank you."
I chuckle
"It would seem you beat me at my own game."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401870

>>401858
I'll clean my beard a little with my fetlocks.
"Well, miss Heart, fair's fair, after all. And it is nice to have something to be confident about and have a reason for it."
I'll clear my throat slightly.
"Though we should likely get back to our cabins before too much suspicion is aroused."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401879

>>401870
I nod with a smile
"Indeed. I do hope we can have a lovely time again as today and yesterday somewhere in the future. Perhaps in an actual comfortable bed this time."
I move in and give him a parting kiss
"And not to worry, this will stay between the both of us. Don't forget to enjoy yourself in life, mister Curry. It may just save your life."
I chuckle and saunter out of here, cleaning myself and removing all evidence of the previous night.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401893

>>401879
And after that, I'll go find little Emrille as promised.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401895

>>401893
And I am busy putting my revolver back together after taking it apart to clean it.
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 401896

>>401879
And I'll make my way back to the brig, after a quick wipedown with a bucket of water and a deck scrubber.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401900

>>401895
Almost there!
I don't notice LH while working on it though.
This shit needs concentration.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401910

>>401895
>>401900
"Good morning, miss Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401911

>>401910
Don't look up.
"Oh, hey. Just give me a sec to finish this."
And do so, piece it together.
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401913

>>401911
Looks like I drop the whole thing and it falls apart entirely.
"Fucking…. Urgh!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401915

>>401911
>>401913
I just chuckle
"My my, miss Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401919

>>401915
"Yeah, really funny, these tiny fucking useless hooves, I swear to fucking hell…"

I start picking up the pieces from the floor.
"I could disassemble my rifle with nothing but my wings, but noooooo, I'm stuck with these now… I miss my wide, big, adult sized, normal spanned wings…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401920

>>401919
I keep smiling
"I must say you are quite adorable this way. Almost like a child playing with her toys."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401925

>>401920
Once I pick the parts up, start putting it together again.
'1d10'
"Yes, a really nice toy, this one is. I can make strawberry slushies with it, all I need for it is a pony head and someone to pay me to do it."

Roll #1 9 = 9

Light Heart [Warlord] 401926

>>401925
"How macabre."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401930

>>401926
Looks like I did better this time.
Just please, let me finish piecing it together right this time.
"What else I'm gonna' do with it, pick daisies?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401931

>>401930
'1d10' and roll too

Roll #1 5 = 5

Light Heart [Warlord] 401937

>>401930
"Of course not."
I chuckle
"I simply was unaware you enjoy the act of killing, miss Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401938

>>401931
That last damn piece…
"Son of a …."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401940

>>401937
I shrug.
"You got it all wrong, it's not the killing I enjoy."

And fit that fucking last piece together!
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401941

>>401940
And I drop it again.
"FUCKING DAMNIT!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401942

>>401940
And neither is it fitting together your gun, it seems.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401943

>>401942
Look at the pieces heartbrokenly.
"I never asked for this!"

Light Heart 401944

>>401943
"Do you need a hug to cheer you up, per chance?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401945

>>401944
Pout while still looking at the gun and nod.

401946

>>401945
I smile and pick her up, wrapping my wings around her for a hug
"Come come, turn that frown upside down, miss Emrille."

Roll #1 3 = 3

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401947

>>401946
Can't feel it.
Stay still.
"You're pretty bad at this…. Spring hugs much better."

401948

>>401947
"My apologies, miss Emrille. It would seem that today is not quite my day."
I try to do better!

Roll #1 1 = 1

Light Heart 401949

>>401948
Looks like I'm squeezing her out of air without noticing it.
"You seem quite tense, miss Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401950

>>401949
Beat my hooves against her weakly.
"Can't…"

Light Heart 401951

>>401950
"Hmmm? Oh!"
I release her
"My apologies, I may have gone slightly overboard there."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401952

>>401951
I stumble backwards awkwardly and dizzily and take some deep breaths.
"Just what the fuck if wrong with you?!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401953

>>401952
"I am sorry, I did not mean to cause harm, of course."
I smile
"If I did, you would have never known."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401954

>>401953
I take a few more breaths.
"My gun was taken apart and you were trying to suffocate me, what was I supposed to think? Fucking damnit, you are rougher than Tela and she is not smooth as silk, let me tell you that."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401955

>>401954
"As I said, it would seem today is not my day. My apologies."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401956

>>401955
Shake my head and pick up the gun and just fucking piece it together already.
'1d10'
"Not gonna' go far with apologies. I mean, how fucking dumb it is anyway? Like saying the word 'sorry' will just magically fix everything. It's just a fucking word. At least they could have chosen a more amusing one that gets repeated over and over and over again. Like clitoris. Apologies would have some comedic value to them."

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401957

>>401956
It seems I'm still dizzy from the lack of air and fall flat on my face.
Let's just stay on the ground for a second.
"I quit."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401958

>>401956
>>401957
I smile and pick her up again
"You seem to be under quite a lot of stress, miss Emrille. From what I remember, you once told me how easy putting pistols together was for you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401959

>>401958
I let out a sigh.
"I guess shit just keeps piling up and being a filly like this doesn't fucking help."
Flap my tiny wings.

Light Heart [Warlord] 401960

>>401959
"You poor thing."
I smile
"Although I did warn you, no? Being stuck in a small body such as yours right now is less than optimal for plenty of reasons."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401961

>>401960
"Yeah… but money! Abilio said 40% raise… I couldn't miss that chance! And it came with a fancy uniform too! He sounded so fucking convincing!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401962

>>401961
"Perhaps now you will pay more heed to my words."
I chuckle

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401963

>>401962
"I guess…"
Frown.
"Not that this was the main reason anyway… It was just a half assed excuse."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401964

>>401963
"For?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401965

>>401964
Turn away slightly.
"For Spring…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401966

>>401965
"… I see. So it is true then."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401967

>>401966
Turn back.
"What is?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401968

>>401967
"You wish for her to adopt you into the family. To give yourself a home."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401969

>>401968
Tilt my head.
"What? No! Fuck that!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401970

>>401969
I smile
"You do not need to hide it from me, miss Emrille. I promise I wont tell anypony. It is understandable that you would strive for such a thing."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401973

>>401970
Narrow my eyes.
"I had my share with that sort of shit. I don't need it again. I wasn't talking about that, since it is a stupid fucking idea."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401974

>>401973
I keep smiling
"Of course it is, miss Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401976

>>401974
Roll my eyes.
"Don't smile at me like that, you know damn well I'll be a mare again once Abilio can safely fix this thing…"
Pause for a few seconds
"And what I meant with Spring is that she's not into mares. And she's not even willing to give me a fucking chance."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401978

>>401976
"I have noticed so much. She blew me off quite swiftly as well, I'm afraid. But how could turning into a filly possibly help with this?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401980

>>401978
"That's it. It didn't. She told me 'oh no, I can't if you are like this!' and I said 'well shit if you could accept me like this you would have zero problems with me as a regular mare' but noooo…. not even a single fucking chance."

Light Heart [Warlord] 401987

>>401980
"I suppose she simply is not attracted to mares in any way or form. Not all mares are like you and I, miss Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 401990

>>401987
"I know, I know, but what stings is that she didn't even try…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 401997

>>401990
"That sounds like an aching heart to me."
I chuckle
"I did say that I was always around to provide comfort for you if it was needed. You wouldn't even need to go through such extreme lengths to enjoy yourself either."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402000

>>401997
Bite my lower lip and look away.
"That's not the same…

Light Heart [Warlord] 402004

>>402000
"I can be very appreciative towards my loyal associates, miss Emrille. Provide comfort when they feel lonely and need some special attention. Loyalty must be rewarded after all."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402009

>>402004
Mutter quietly.
"Spring won't really come around…"
Shake my head slightly.
"And see, this is exactly why it is annoying, just the other day I got pretty turned on, but I can't do shit until I'm back to my old self!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402011

>>402009
"You are still a grown mare, are you not?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402014

>>402011
"Yeah, but everypony else seems to fucking forget that."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402026

>>402014
I smile
"I have not, of course. And my offer still stands, should you be interested."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402027

>>402026
"What… you mean, like, even now?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402030

>>402027
"Of course. If you have desires right now, who am I to deny those? I must admit it's a bit strange in your current form but… you have the mind of an adult mare."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402038

>>402030
"Well I didn't have them right now… I mean, it was… let's get this gun assembled first, okay?"
Glance around.

Light Heart [Warlord] 402042

>>402038
I chuckle
"Of course. I am not going anywhere."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402046

>>402042
Okay, quickly assemble it.
'1d10'

Roll #1 9 = 9

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402047

>>402046
And the final touch where I always failed so far.
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402048

>>402047
And I do so again.
"Just a second, I got this…"
'1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

402050

>>402047
>>402048
I roll my eyes with a smile and help her out.

Roll #1 5 = 5

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402052

>>402050
Let's say our combined efforts work it out.
Holster it and glance around again.
"So… I don't suppose you want to just stand around here? Maybe we should sit down somewhere?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402055

>>402052
"Yes, of course. We ought to find someplace private, I suppose."
I smile and pick her up, putting her on my back, then head off to the place where Curry and I slept.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402060

>>402055
I flutter off of her back once we arrive.
"So… I guess this is a place where we can talk?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402064

>>402060
"In peace, yes."
I settle down and smile at her
"Now… what could a mare such as myself possibly mean to you?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402067

>>402064
I pace around calmly before her.
"We're partners, aren't we?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402068

>>402067
"We are indeed."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402071

>>402068
Keep walking in small circles.
"But I have my eyes on Spring… who completely refuses any advances… I did kiss her once, but she didn't really appreciate it."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402074

>>402071
"Which leads you to concluded that…?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402077

>>402074
"You are sort of hot. Sort of. This is an irrelevant piece of information though."
I sigh.
"And it concludes me to being slightly confused…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402082

>>402077
I raise a brow as she says the first part
"About?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402085

>>402082
Roll my eyes.
"Oh, you know. Your offer."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402087

>>402085
"My offer is quite clear though. I was not lying when I told you about it, of course."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402094

>>402087
"I know you wasn't lying. I'm just not sure if I want to accept it."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402098

>>402094
"I, of course, will not tell anypony about it. All I want is to ensure that your mind is clear of worry. I cannot have you walk around frustrated and make potential mistakes. And truth be told, you seem to be quite stressed lately."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402104

>>402098
Stop momentarily.
"Nopony? At all? Under any circumstances? Especially not Spring?… or Tela?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402106

>>402104
"You have my word, miss Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402110

>>402106
Let out a slightly annoyed sigh and face her.
"I'm sorry, I don't like the fucking way you are about this, okay?! This is just starting to get fucked up and almost uncomfortable, stop fucking talking like that!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402114

>>402110
"Whatever do you mean?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402119

>>402114
Point a hoof at her.
"This, 'Miss Emrille' bullshit and being all cold and calm like a fucking machine… y'know, you are creeping me out!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402121

>>402119
"… I am cold?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402122

>>402121
"Not like frigid cunt cold but… ah, fuck it, forget it, this was a fucking joke anyway."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402126

>>402122
I chuckle and look around me to check if no one else is around, then turn back to Emrille, visibly changing my attitude.
"You know, it's really damn hard to change a habit of a lifetime like that. Do you have any idea how much training talking like that required? A whole darn lot."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402127

>>402126
My eyes widen sightly and I let out a laugh and smirk, much more relaxed than just a moment ago.
"Holy fuck, it seems you can talk like a normal fucking pony. Sometimes it gets really annoying, y'know that, right?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402132

>>402127
I roll my eyes
"Like I give a fuck."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402135

>>402132
I let out a short whistle.
"Wow. You really are a piece of work, aren't you? So why bother with that uppity bitch attitude?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402143

>>402135
"Variables change, Emrille. I've been around for a while, so believe me when I say that I know exactly what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. If I start acting like you do and stress myself out over every single damn thing in this world, I would have kicked the bucket a long time ago because of that heart condition."
My expression softens, a smile appearing on my lips and my tone returning to the usual.
"But if I act calm and at ease, it aids me in keeping a cool head as well. I simply cannot allow myself to get worked up over simple matters. I move with the flow and play with the cards I am dealt by life."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402146

>>402143
I shake my head slightly with a grin.
"You are one sly fucker, gotta' give you that."
After a chuckle, continue.
"Hell, if I knew you are not actually an arrogant, snooty cunt, we could have been best buddies right off the bat."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402150

>>402146
"Now really that hurts my feelings. I thought we were the best of pals already."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402156

>>402150
"I thought you were snuck up for real. Now we can be best of pals. And I won't even spill your little secret."
I chuckle again.
"I feel special that you can talk to me like this."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402158

>>402156
I toss my mane
"Sometimes a pony has to adapt manners for special occasions. Frankly, you looked like you were about to freak out on me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402162

>>402158
"I was about to. I was almost considering checking you for being a changeling or someshit."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402171

>>402162
"If I was a changeling, you'd be dead now. Besides, I'm pretty sure you would have noticed back when I died in Stonebriar."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402174

>>402171
I shrug with a grin.
"All the evidence was pointing towards it!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402182

>>402174
"Right. Because I sure do love laying eggs inside ponies."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402184

>>402182
"I hope partners and pals don't get that treatment, right?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402185

>>402184
I chuckle
"Maybe if they beg hard enough."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402186

>>402185
"I think it sorta' ruins the mood. Y'know, it's a bit too icky and shit. Unless some ponies are into that."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402187

>>402186
"You'd be surprised what some ponies are into."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402188

>>402187
"I think I'd be happier not to know."
Snicker slightly.
"With how easily you offer yourself I guess you have shitloads of experience on those topics."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402189

>>402188
"As you may have noticed, I don't exactly share the same morals as most ponies do. With a condition like mine, you tend to stop caring about what others think of you and about what tomorrow might bring. You just live from day to day and hope you don't die because you exerted yourself just a tiny bit too much for your heart to handle."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402190

>>402189
"Hey, you might be a slut for it but I'm not going to judge. What the fuck is the point of life if not enjoying it? And getting rich, of course."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402191

>>402190
I shrug
"I don't care for money beyond its ability to sway ponies to do things. I never understood why people are so attached to it. There are much more valuable resources than that."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402192

>>402191
I shrug back.
"I can't really explain it. You could say that it's because I had absolutely none of it when I was younger, but I think there's more to it."
Let out a small laugh.
"Just between the two of us, it can even turn me on. Holding all those valuable shit like gold and gemstones just makes my heart race and my stomach flutter…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402193

>>402192
"I figured as much already."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402194

>>402193
"Did you now?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402325

>>402194
"From the way you were acting back in that vault in Stonebriar? You were like a kid in a candy shop."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402327

>>402325
I laugh again.
"If it wasn't for that golem I would have rolled around in it, it was like a fucking pool of gold!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402329

>>402327
"It's a shame we didn't meet before. I think you would have liked my old mansion. Then again, you probably would have just tried to rob me and die in the process."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402331

>>402329
I smirk and look at her with challenging look.
"You think so low of me. Like I would just get into plain sight and try to rob you if I knew you had a mansionful of money and the key on you."
Flap my wings.
"You forget what scopes are for, and clouds can give one of the best covers and sniper spots you could ask for."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402334

>>402331
"You would have never left the island alive."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402336

>>402334
"Cool thing we are on the same side, huh?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402337

>>402336
"Oh yes. Killing each other would be very counterproductive. I don't think the commodore would be too happy either."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402338

>>402337
"I wouldn't be too happy to waste somepony so dishy either. Especially if I'm not even paid for it."
Chuckle again, then get comfy and lay down on my side.

Light Heart [Warlord] 402341

>>402338
"How charming of you. I'm very flattered."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402342

>>402341
"I'm sure you had ponies saying that you have a great ass by much more refined ways."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402343

>>402342
I snort
"You have no idea."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402345

>>402343
"Sounds fun. Not that you'd be very flustered even if you were groped, right?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402346

>>402345
"Not like you could even reach me, squirt."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402348

>>402346
Snicker.
"I'm sure I could reach the juicy parts just right."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402349

>>402348
"Do I need to lie down onto my back or are you going to get yourself a ladder?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402350

>>402349
"Is failing at trying to be witty your foreplay, huh? That's what gets you movin'?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402352

>>402350
"What a rude thing to say, miss Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402354

>>402352
"I get a feeling that your feelings aren't so fragile that this hurt you."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402356

>>402354
"That does not mean you should say such dreadful things freely. I feel as if I need to spank you to teach you some proper manners. Perhaps I could educate you to become a proper lady such as myself."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402373

>>402356
"You wouldn't!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402380

>>402373
"I could."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402382

>>402380
"I feel like I deserve better after being so loyal, don't I?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402385

>>402382
"But of course."
I smile and pick her up, holding her right in front of me
"You have been such a good little pony, miss Emrille. And a delightful partner of mine too."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402386

>>402385
Smile back.
"My pleasure, really."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402389

>>402386
"Now…"
I set her back onto the ground
"Is that all you wished to discuss with me? Is there anything more you require?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402393

>>402389
Tilt my head but say nothing.

Light Heart [Warlord] 402397

>>402393
I smile and keep looking down at her

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402399

>>402397
I sigh.
"Eh, I knew you'd chicken out."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402403

>>402399
I laugh and poke her with a hoof
"I was only teasing you, you nitwit. Any preferences?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402408

>>402403
I grin back.
"Then you are a sicko'. And I don't know about you, but a bed would be a start."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402409

>>402408
"I'm only as sick as my partners want me to be. Let's find one then."
Let's just head over to Emrille's cot then. Not like people will care.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402412

>>402409
If anypony asks we were just talking officer stuff.
Throw myself on it once we are alone wherever we are.
"So, you got experience with mares, huh? Show me what you've got. And not a word to anypony, remember?"

402415

>>402412
I climb on top of it as well.
"Silent as a grave."
And then, after teasing her a little and making sure she's all heated up we get on with the real show and LESBIAN HORSE SEX

Roll #1 2, 9, 2, 4, 8 = 25

402419

>>402415
I may be small now, but let's see if i remember tricks like IT'S HORSESEX AND IT'S LESBIANS

Roll #1 4, 2, 3, 10, 6 = 25

Light Heart [Warlord] 402433

>>402415
>>402419
What an awkward start. At least the ending was decent.
All in all, very average.
"You really need to grow up that body again already…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402437

>>402433
"I expected better of you, really… and yeah, this was sort of unusual."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402441

>>402437
"I'm really not used to having to pleasure a filly-sized mare. We can try again though… if you think you have the stamina for a second wind."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402449

>>402441
"If you can do better I'm all about it… you got familiar with the surroundings, so you should be, right?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402450

>>402449
"If you stop squirming so much, yes."

402454

>>402450
"Yeah, yeah, sure thing sweetcake."
And then I dive down on her for some how is this even allowed on a christian imageboard?

Roll #1 7, 9, 1, 1, 5 = 23

402455

>>402454
I smile and pull her close, this time using my wings as well to But this is completely innocent!

Roll #1 6, 8, 4, 8, 9 = 35

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402457

>>402455
She actually did better this time!
I just relax beside her after we are finished with of course it is absolutely innocent.
"Ooookay, see, this is exactly why I miss my own wings…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402458

>>402457
I smile and embrace her with my wings pulling her close and giving her a deep lesbian kiss.
"I figured you'd like that kind of stuff."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402461

>>402458
Kissu kissu
"Y'know what I want to try out? A unicorn. I'd even have an idea which one…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402463

>>402461
I smirk
"Rosemary is my love, Emrille. Don't you dare touch her with your perverted little hooves."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402465

>>402463
"Them doctors, huh? Always troubling the heart."
I snicker slightly.

Light Heart [Warlord] 402466

>>402465
"But yes, unicorns are great. They can do some amazing things with that telekinesis of theirs. To be honest, I wouldn't mind swapping my wings for a horn."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402469

>>402466
"I'd love to know, but I wouldn't trade my wings for anything. They are too useful for me, and really not just flying. That is the best part though."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402471

>>402469
"Yeah… Rosemary likes them a lot too… Guess they are something special to non-pegasi. Kind of like… a symbol of freedom."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402475

>>402471
"You think it affects our thinking too? That we are not so stuck to the ground like them?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402476

>>402475
"Of course. Earth ponies are much more steadfast. They tend to stick to one place and tend to their farms and gardens. There is a reason why pegasi are generally seen as the warrior race and most adventurous of ponykind."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402478

>>402476
"I think we look the best too, don't we?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402479

>>402478
I chuckle softly
"That kind of depends on who you ask, I guess. I sure as hell am not a pegasus supremacist."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402481

>>402479
"It's not about ideals, but you gotta' admit that wings look better than a small little lump on the forehead or nothing at all!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402482

>>402481
"… Have you ever heard about crystal ponies?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402484

>>402482
"I don't read fairy tales."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402485

>>402484
I smirk
"Fairy tales or… history?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402488

>>402485
"Or bullshit?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402492

>>402488
"I can see you don't put much belief in their existence then."
I shake my head
"Crystal ponies were said to be the most beautiful of ponies. With shining coats and brilliant manes, soft as silk and as pretty as a diamond. They had wings nor horns and lacked the natural connection and strength earth ponies had."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402495

>>402492
I snort.
"Sounds made up all right. I'll believe it when I see one."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402499

>>402495
"I doubt you'd be able to control your urges if you ever saw a crystal mare."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402501

>>402499
"Of what, fucking her or selling her as a gem?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402504

>>402501
"Both, most likely."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402507

>>402504
"I guess Smitts wouldn't mind if we got space for one more pony on these ships…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402510

>>402507
"Haven't you seen the Eagle's Nest? There's room for hundreds of ponies in the slave pens."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402511

>>402510
"Slave is such a bad word though. How would Spring look at me if I was a slaver?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402516

>>402511
"Pretty badly, I can imagine."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402518

>>402516
"Exactly. I'm not a slaver. Or, well, y'know."

Light Heart [Warlord] 402522

>>402518
"Mmhmm…"
I'll just lightly tease and pet her with my wings for now, enjoying the warmth.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402528

>>402522
I smile at that and close my eyes.
"How long have you been practicing with those, huh? You gotta give me some pointers when I'll grow back up…"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402533

>>402528
"A long time. Probably from before you had your cutie mark."
I smirk and keep at it
"Glad you like it."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402537

>>402533
I chuckle, scoot a little closer to her.
"Which one?"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402538

>>402537
"Take a guess, squirt."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402540

>>402538
"Hey, don't call me that! Don't fuck up the mood!"

Light Heart [Warlord] 402542

>>402540
"Then shut up your mouth and just enjoy."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 402544

>>402542
Do exactly that.

Light Heart [Warlord] 402550

>>402544
And after a while, I'll just keep my wings locked around her in a hug and enjoy the rest and peace.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404513

At some point in the future, but before Reptil…

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404526

>>404513
I sigh as our paths cross.
"Ah fuck. Y'know, I hate this. These ships are so small. Wherever the fuck I go, you are there. Tell you what, you stay in the brig, and I roam around freely. Huh? Everypony wins!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404528

>>404526
"Except for the fact I have a job to do. Even if," I'll roll my eyes. "You think I do it poorly."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404533

>>404528
"No. Don't say that. You don't do it poorly."
Smile at him.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404537

>>404533
I'll frown a little at that.
"How rare. Though, knowing you, it'll likely be followed by a 'you do it terribly.'"
I'll take a seat.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404541

>>404537
Shake my head.
"No.
You do it fucking terribly."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404550

>>404541
I'll roll my eyes again.
"So was there another reason you called out to me, Emrille, or did you just wish to get your quota of mocking filled?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404551

>>404550
I perk my ears.
"Oh, right! I might need your help!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404555

>>404551
I'll raise an eyebrow at that.
"And what happened to avoiding the 'ponified calamity'?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404560

>>404555
"I can make an exception for this one. It is for the greater good."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404565

>>404560
I'll level a flat stare at Emrille.
"Why do those words not fill me with hope."
Then sigh.
"Well, speak up then."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404568

>>404565
Nod with a grin.
"Right, so, y'know, there's this whole thing that Spring asked me? 'Do not kill innocents' and all that shit?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404571

>>404568
"Let me guess, you want to test how lethal things are… on me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404573

>>404571
Shake my head.
"Of course not, reviving you might cost money and I ain't paying. So I got these darts which can knock people out for a while, right?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404578

>>404573
"You aren't putting me to sleep while I'm on duty, Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404581

>>404578
"It doesn't last for long… but the point is, that shit is not really applicable in every situation. So I want to practice a technique I used to know. On you."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404587

>>404581
"And I assume you're not going to tell me what it is until after I agree."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404594

>>404587
"What's the worst that could happen, huh? It's to save lives! Oh, and don't bother to tell it to anypony either."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404597

>>404594
I'll just level a stare at Emrille.
"This is sounding more and more suspect by the moment. I don't know what your game is, Emrille, but I'm not playing. I'm afraid you'll need to find another guinea pig. I'm sure master Wark, or one of the other pirates under your 'command' will be more than happy to help."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404603

>>404597
"Fine, fine. I just want to practice kneecapping. Not so bad, is it?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404609

>>404603
"Well, what is it?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404613

>>404609
Give him a deadpan look.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404616

>>404613
"It's got to be more complicated than just shooting knee caps, doesn't it?"
I'll rub my leg.
"Besides, those always grow back funny. Not that I'm letting you practice on me, of course."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404619

>>404616
"Come on, it what it says on the tin! Capping the knees! Or do you want ponies to die because you were a coward?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404622

>>404619
"You try getting shot and then feeling everything grow back to the right place really fast."
I'll frown a little.
"And aren't there target ranges for this kind of thing?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404624

>>404622
"Those are no fun. I mean, not realistic enough. I gotta' know when the knee is capped. Y'know, not to risk the pony running away."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404634

>>404624
"And what does this have to do with sleep darts? I'm beginning to think, Emrille, that you're just trying to talk me into this to relieve stress. Or just make my day slightly worse."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404640

>>404634
"Not sleep darts, silly. This is the alternative. Real bullets, y'know. In case the former doesn't quite work out."
Smile at him.
"And didn't you pay attention? I'm doing this as a favor to Spring and Summer."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404643

>>404640
"And yet you specifically ask me to volunteer my kneecaps, of which I know you will attempt to shoot out all four, instead of finding a way to practice without inflicting harm on a living subject."
I'll raise an eyebrow at her.
"Is that really something miss Spring, as a doctor, would want you to do?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404649

>>404643
"I think she'd be content with two kneecaps."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404651

>>404649
I'll just look at her.
"You must be incredibly frustrated."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404654

>>404651
I smirk.
"I'm pretty chill, actually."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404665

>>404654
"Finally found someone willing to look past the filly-sized problem, I take it. Good for you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404668

>>404665
I let out a laugh, then flutter on his back and lean close to whisper in a low voice.
"Of course that's the first thing that comes to your mind, you fucking sick bastard. Is that why you are so frustrated, huh? Can't get your dick into that little unicorn filly like you want to? That's what troubles you?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404669

>>404668
"Well, it was your main motivation for hounding miss Spring, if I recall."
My horn lighting up, I'll float Emrille in front of my face, and frown at her.
"Besides, you vulgar little strumpet, children are not intended for that."
And then I'll drop her.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404674

>>404669
Just spread my wings to land smoothly.
"And that is exactly why you should feel bad."
I snort.
"Protecting her, eh? More like wanting to pop a cherry. You're pretty disgusting, y'know that?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404697

>>404674
I'll continue to frown at Emrille.
"If ever I felt the need to relieve myself in that manner, I would find a mare of legal age and who would be willing."
My frown will turn into a glare.
"And I would never, under any circumstance, do such a reprehensible thing to miss Seas. Or any child."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404708

>>404697
"Suuuuuuuure you would say that."
I reach a forehoof between my legs then motion forward while letting out a rising whistle.
"Seaboy got a hard-on for that pale little thing? That's what you dream about at night, huh?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404729

>>404708
I have had enough of this bullshit. Time to set her straight.
"That is inappropriate for a filly your age to do."
'1d10' to grab and administer a mighty spanking. Three blows should do.

Roll #1 5 = 5

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404731

>>404729
I can easily evade that, can't I?
'1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404737

>>404731
Try not to tear up.
"W-Why would you do that?'

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404741

>>404731
>>404737
"One for foul language, one for slandering your elders, and one to grow on."
I'll sigh a little.
"Now, are you willing to behave, while I bring you to miss Spring?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404743

>>404741
I pout and nod at him.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404745

>>404743
I'll settle down next to her.
"Then up you go."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404747

>>404745
I look around confusedly.
"Uh.."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404752

>>404747
"What? You don't think I'd make you walk after giving you a spanking, do you? It stings terribly every time you take a step. Hop on my back, and I'll carry you to Spring."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404754

>>404752
"Oh!"
Climb on his back.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404756

>>404754
"Alright, and make certain you've got a good grip, there. I know you can fly, but I don't want you to fall."
And then I'll stand up, and start heading towards the last place I saw Spring. That being, the brig.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404758

>>404756
I cling onto his neck then.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404759

>>404758
"So, Emrille… I've been meaning to ask. What's it like to fly?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404763

>>404756
And I'll be there, playing around with my sword.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404766

>>404759
I smile slightly.
"It's like you open up your wings, and then you flap them really fast and whoos! You go up like a jump but a really big one and you don't come back down until you want to or get really tired! And sometimes there's wind and you just spread your wings and it can take you and you can be just in the air without doing anything and it's like super cool to be able to go anywhere you want to!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404771

>>404766
I'll give a small chuckle.
"That does sound fun."
And then we've arrived.
"Now that I've got you talking about something you like, it doesn't even hurt anymore, does it?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404773

>>404771
I frown.
"It still stings a bit… I-I don't even know what I did wrong…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404776

>>404773
"It wasn't so much as what you did, but what… well, you did. You see, there's another pony living inside your head who is very rude and inconsiderate to others. When I tried to give her the spanking she so richly deserved, she ran away and let you take the hits. I'm sorry."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404781

>>404776
I frown even harder.
"What? Another pony in my head? Is she… is she like the boogeymare? And why would you hit me instead of her? I wasn't rude…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404785

>>404776
>>404781
I drop the sword and walk over
"What's going on?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404787

>>404785
Wave at her.
"Hi there Mrs. Spring!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404788

>>404787
I blink and look at Curry
"What happened this time?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404790

>>404781
"She's… another you. She's all the bad parts of you, all wrapped up into one pony. Usually she's the one in control, while you, the good part, sleep. I finally decided to try and discipline her, only for it to fall on you instead. And for that, I'm sorry."
>>404788
"Well…"
I'll look at Emrille.
"Emrille, could you be a good girl and wait on the bed until miss Spring is ready for you?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404793

>>404790
Sniff slightly.
"I-I don't want to be a bad pony… that would… I want to be a good pony…"
Tilt my head.
"Ready for me?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404795

>>404793
"She'll help with the rest of the pain, as well as make sure you're comfortable."
I'll pick her up and give her a little hug.
"And you can be a good pony, Emrille. You always have that power to be good."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404798

>>404795
Hug him back.
"You really think?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404802

>>404798
"Of course. Everyone can be good. Even the worst pony has a little nugget of good in them somewhere. All it takes is digging it out, and letting it shine."
I'll give her a little smile and then boop her nose.
"Now, I just need to talk with miss Spring for a moment."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404805

>>404802
I node and smile.
"Okay Mr. Curry!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404807

>>404802
>>404805
I just stare at this with a amused look.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404810

>>404805
"Off you go then."
>>404807
And then, after Emrille is safely near the bed, I'll turn to Spring.
"A moment aside, miss Spring."

Spring Water [Doctor] 404811

>>404810
I nod
"Right."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404815

>>404810
Sit patiently and look around.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404828

>>404811
"Now, you may be wondering how this exchange occurred. And I'll tell you."
I'll rub my beard a moment.
"Emrille approached me asking if I could help her with a small favor. Unfortunately, this favor did not quite mesh with my abilities, and I refused. Unkind words were said by both parties, and then… I lost my temper."
I'll look a little sheepish.
"Believing a small amount of discipline to be in order, I smacked her thrice across the rump, which seems to have been a little too hard, as it brought her to the state you see her now."
I'll scratch my head.
"What I have noticed, though, is that this Emrille is completely unaware of the base Emrille's actions. She didn't know why she got spanked. As such, I apologized to her, and brought her here."
Thinking for a moment, I'll continue.
"But we need not cure her right away. Have you considered reinforcing this personality, instead of the main one? Or at least, letting her have a nice hug with a mother figure before turning her back?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404838

>>404828
I nod
"I was thinking the same actually… But, why did you two start fighting? What favor?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404863

>>404838
"She needed someone to test non-lethal techniques on. As I refused being a pincushion for darts, she moved on to more… painful methods. So I refused."

Spring Water [Doctor] 404867

>>404863
I frown.
"… Right."
I shake my head with a sigh.
"That mare sometimes… ugh."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404875

>>404867
"Still, that mare and this filly are almost separate. So let at least some good happen to her before changing her back."
I'll think.
"And wait until I'm out of the room first."

Spring Water [Doctor] 404891

>>404875
"… Right."
I roll my eyes and move past him, over to Emrille with a smile.
"Are you feeling okay?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 404894

>>404891
And I'll take my leave.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404895

>>404891
I nod at her with a smile.
"Mhhm!"
Then scrunch.
"My butt stings a bit though… I didn't even do anything…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404897

>>404895
I sit down next to her and ruffle her mane with a hoof.
"So aside from that, how are you? Something you want to do?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404901

>>404897
I smile again and giggle as she ruffles my mane.
"I'm good! And I dunno… maybe play something, but I don't remember where any of my toys are…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404940

>>404901
"Oh… what kind of toys do you have?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404943

>>404940
I smile again.
"Ooh I have lots of toys in my room, dolls, storybooks, puzzles, board games, a lot of stuff!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404945

>>404943
"Mmmm…"
I smile
"What's your very favorite toy then?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404947

>>404945
I scrunch.
"Uh… ummm… I like all of them…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 404953

>>404947
"Well which one do you play with most?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 404972

>>404953
I think for a while before perking up.
"I have a wooden circle that can be put on the wall, and it has other circles painted on it, and you have these three little pins that look like small arrows, and the point is to throw it the circles that are worth the most points!"
I clap my hooves excitedly.
"I like it because a lot of times I can hit the middle which is fifty points!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405007

>>404972
I chuckle
"That sounds like a really fun thing to do. It's a shame you don't have it with you so you could show me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405012

>>405007
I nod then tap my pockets or whatever.
"I don't really have any of them…"
Tap the gun.
"Just this but I don't really think it's a toy. It's pretty heavy and strange."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405057

>>405012
"That's… not a toy Emrille."
I take the revolver with my magic and put it in one of my bags.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405060

>>405057
I pout.
"Oh… is that why Mister Curry did that… because I had that? Did the boogeymare gave that to me to get me in trouble?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405094

>>405060
I smile
"I don't think she did, no. But… it's not something you should carry around. It can be very dangerous!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405099

>>405094
Flap down my ears.
"Dangerous?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405103

>>405099
"Only if you are careless with it, of course. Don't worry, it can't hurt you as long as you know how to use it."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405106

>>405103
I blink.
"Sooo…. why did I have it?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405109

>>405106
"The boogeymare bought it, I think."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405110

>>405109
"Why? To be rude and scare ponies?"
I scrunch.
"She sounds like a very bad pony!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405114

>>405110
"She's… different."
I smile.
"But she's not the only pony who has things like those. I have one myself, I just never use it."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405120

>>405114
I nod.
"So what is it for?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405121

>>405120
"To scare away very bad ponies if there is no other choice."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405128

>>405121
"Bad ponies like the boogeymare?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405378

>>405128
"Hopefully not…"

Emrille [Filly] 405379

>>405378
Look up at her with a curious expression.
"Huh?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405380

>>405379
"Well not all bad ponies have to be… scared off, Emrille. Scaring off others is the easiest way but… not always the best way. Sometimes ponies are bad because they feel bad on the inside, which means that it's possible to turn them into good ponies."

Emrille [Filly] 405381

>>405380
Tilt my head slightly.
"So… even the boogeymare could be good? Mister Curry said she is a very bad pony… and I got punished because of her."
My eyes light up.
"Could you scare her away for me? Please?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405382

>>405381
I give her a sad smile
"I'm sorry, but can't scare her away Emrille."

Emrille [Filly] 405383

>>405382
I frown.
"But why?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405384

>>405383
"Because if I scare her away, she'll be lost forever."

Emrille [Filly] 405385

>>405384
"…and? Why do we need a bad pony anyway? Mister Curry said she is just trouble!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405386

>>405385
"As I said… bad ponies can be fixed."
I smile
"Do you know Luna and her teachings?"

Emrille [Filly] 405387

>>405386
Shake my head.
"No. What's that?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405388

>>405387
"It's a long story, but to put it in short… Luna is the goddess of the night. She watches over us as we sleep and dream. She wants us to better bad ponies, to help them turn their lives around and become good ponies instead."

Emrille [Filly] 405389

>>405388
"Are you a Luna too, Mrs. Spring?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405390

>>405389
I chuckle
"A Lunite you mean? Yes, I am. It's tradition in our family."

Emrille [Filly] 405391

>>405390
I nod, but fall a bit silent at the mention of family, before looking down and starting to draw a small circle with a hoof.
"Uhm… Mrs. Spring?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405392

>>405391
"Yes?"

Emrille [Filly] 405393

>>405392
Look up at her.
"When do you think that my mom and dad will come pick me up? I mean it's nice here but I want them to come so we can go home…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405394

>>405393
"I… don't know when that will happen…"

Emrille [Filly] 405395

>>405394
"But they are coming, right?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405396

>>405395
I put a hoof around her
"… I don't know that, but I'm sure family will find its way."

Emrille [Filly] 405397

>>405396
Huddle closer to her.
"I can't wait to see them again!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405403

>>405397
I hug her close
"Some day you'll be surrounded by family again. All you need is a little bit of patience…"

Emrille [Filly] 405410

>>405403
I nod and hug her back tightly.
"Okay… Thank you Mrs. Spring!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405434

>>405410
I smile and pet her mane as she hugs me
"Don't worry about it…"

Emrille [Filly] 405443

>>405434
Keep smiling and hugging her.
"When I grow up, I want to be a good pony like you!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405490

>>405443
I chuckle
"I'm very happy to hear that…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405496

>>405490
"Uh… Spring?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405505

>>405496
"Yes Emrille?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405509

>>405505
I chuckle slightly, then cuddle a bit closer.
"Nothing, nothing~…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405547

>>405509
"What? What's wrong?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405551

>>405547
"Don't worry, everything's juuuuust fine."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405564

>>405551
"Alright…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405570

>>405564
"Let's just stay like this for a while…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405577

>>405570
And so we did.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405603

>>405577
And so we did.
And after a while of just enjoying her being close, I say.
"This feels really nice, y'know."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405605

>>405603
"I'm glad you think so."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405614

>>405605
Keep smiling.
"It's really a shame that you feel so reluctant to so much as be near me usually."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405624

>>405614
"… huh?"
I look down at her
"Wait a minute…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405625

>>405624
"I can wait for you all day."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405634

>>405625
I scrunch
"You bandit."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405642

>>405634
Stay close to her in that cuddle.
"Aww, that's such a nasty word to describe me."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405644

>>405642
"So that was all just an act then?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405646

>>405644
"What was?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405651

>>405646
I roll my eyes
"Acting like an innocent and confused child."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405654

>>405651
"I sort-of just remember waking up with you being close… Mhhm, I could get used to that."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405666

>>405654
I sigh
"I wouldn't doubt that. Do you remember what happened to you?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405669

>>405666
"Curry was being an asshat… then here I was with you…"
I lower my voice slightly.
"He didn't hit me, did he?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405675

>>405669
"I don't think so…"
I frown
"But you were trying to get him to pose as target practice for you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405687

>>405675
"I didn't want to kill him!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405691

>>405687
"Really? That's your line of defense? What's wrong with you? How do you justify looking down on somepony who has given up his life for his beliefs while you fight for money still?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405696

>>405691
"That's not entirely true. I fight for something else than money nowadays too."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405701

>>405696
I keep frowning
"That doesn't justify you picking on Curry constantly, Emrille. It's not right."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405703

>>405701
"He's been nothing but disrespectful towards me since day one too, y'know."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405707

>>405703
"He didn't mean to. He already said he regretted mentioning what he did. But he didn't know any better, dammit!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405717

>>405707
"Not just that, he keeps calling me bullshit just because I got downsized a bit! Which, if I may remind you, saved you when those celestials took the two of us."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405730

>>405717
"Well with the way you've been bullying him…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405738

>>405730
"I'm just trying to motivate him to do better."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405740

>>405738
"Well you're definitely not helping at all, Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405744

>>405740
"At least I am trying."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405747

>>405744
"Trying to get him angry or depressed?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405748

>>405747
"That's not what I meant."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405755

>>405748
"Stop trying to change the subject. And stop terrorizing Curry. If you don't like him then just steer clear of him. Or try to like him better."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405768

>>405755
"Fine. I'll see what I can do… though what you just said sounds awfully familiar."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405777

>>405768
I actually glare at her for saying that
"There is a clear difference between that and this."

Emrille 405802

>>405777
"Both of them are about acceptance, giving chances and all that… not that different."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405806

>>405802
"You know I don't swing that way, Emrille."

Emrille 405815

>>405806
I sigh.
"And I won't force you to do anything, but still… I'm sure it would do you good."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405823

>>405815
"I'm perfectly fine as is."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405841

>>405823
"Are you? Are you really?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405856

>>405841
"Why wouldn't I be, really?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405858

>>405856
Glance around us, then run a hoof along the side of her neck where the collars used to be.
"Oh, I don't even know."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405873

>>405858
"So you're saying that if I were attracted to mares, the pirates would have never put a collar on me?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405878

>>405873
I snort.
"The one time I'm not trying to imply anything then you do. I was asking how you were holding up? Because, for me things might be fine and dandy now, but I know that it's a whole different story for you."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405886

>>405878
I sigh
"I'm fine Emrille, really. All that is bothering me right now is how to get my magic more stable. Getting my horn shattered like that has made it even worse."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405888

>>405886
I wince.
"That must have been fucking awful… was it that prick?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 405900

>>405888
I just nod.
"I had to surrender to him because I needed to know where Summer was and he was close to killing us. He shattered my horn and put some shackles on instead."
I shake my head
"If it wasn't for Skylight…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405947

>>405900
"Fucking asshole… if it's any consolidation I froze his wings and set him on fire at least twice."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405979

>>405947
"There are few inquisitors who are kind in this world…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405981

>>405979
"And this is why religion sucks. No offense. You are the good exception."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405992

>>405981
I sigh
"There are good and compassionate religious ponies out there too, Emrille."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 405996

>>405992
"Yeah. Every one in a hundred. Like you."

Spring Water [Doctor] 405998

>>405996
"More than that, really. Just… look at Rosemary and Skylight."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406000

>>405998
"…Rosemary is religious? And Skylight healed that motherfucker. If it wasn't for her, we could have offed him."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406015

>>406000
"I… think she mentioned so at least. As for Skylight, she was only doing her duty. She didn't attack us at least and if it wasn't for her, Summer, Curry, Felfire and I would all be dead."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406021

>>406015
"Only, you'd have been brought back to life. She would have stayed dead."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406022

>>406021
"I'm not exactly a big fan of dying, Emrille. And Summer…"
I look away
"… Skylight didn't have to help us, but she did anyway. She has a good heart, I know that much."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406026

>>406022
"Good for her I guess. Light will keep her in check for sure, just in case."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406030

>>406026
I frown
"She's not going to threaten her, is she?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406034

>>406030
"Do I look like her to you? I don't know. But she's not really viscious, is she?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406037

>>406034
"I'm not sure. She's… too polite for it to be genuine. I don't know what to think or expect of her and that frightens me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406044

>>406037
"I think it's pretty clear. As long as we don't stir shit, we are out in the clear. She's not that bad actually, believe me."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406047

>>406044
"So, she's offered herself to you too then, did she?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406051

>>406047
"Back in Stonebriar, yeah. I had my eyes on you by that time though, so no dice."
I snicker.
"What, for you as well?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406066

>>406051
I nod
"Back in Stonebriar as well. Some business model…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406068

>>406066
I shrug.
"Whatever works for her.
Saves money at least, right?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406076

>>406068
"Mmmm…"
I look at her
"So… did you take her offer after…?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406077

>>406076
I shake my head.
"Nope, but I did ask for Rosemary so I can pretend that she was you. You're prett good at it too, y'know."
Try to keep a serious expression.
'1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

Spring Water [Doctor] 406080

>>406077
I give her a deadpan look
"You know, if you didn't have that goofy grin on your face, it wouldn't be too hard to believe knowing how Rosemary allows everypony to walk all over her."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406081

>>406080
"Meh, she seems happy as it is."

Spring Water 406083

>>406081
"I guess so… It's strange how engrossed she seems by that mare."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406086

>>406083
"Love works in mysterious ways, huh?"

Spring Water 406087

>>406086
"You could say that, I guess…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406090

>>406087
"Not that I would know."

Spring Water 406092

>>406090
"You'll find the love of your life one day, Emrille…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406095

>>406092
"Yeah, sure I will. You do know that I don't believe in the 'fate' and 'destiny' bullshit all that much, right?"

Spring Water 406097

>>406095
"Well… I do. Otherwise I wouldn't have told you so."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406099

>>406097
"So, are you really saying that you can do whatever the fuck you fancy and it was not really you but fate?"

Spring Water 406100

>>406099
"No, of course not. But there's a pony for everypony out there."
I smile
"The one."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406101

>>406100
I chuckle.
"Well I really hope it's a she. And a dyke too."

Spring Water 406102

>>406101
"Stallions really aren't that bad."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406103

>>406102
"Mares aren't either. You never know unless you try, Spring."

Spring Water 406104

>>406103
I laugh
"Who says you aren't the first mare to approach me?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406105

>>406104
I blink.
"Mh… what?!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406106

>>406105
"Well there was Light Heart for one…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406107

>>406106
"Which you refused, and?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406108

>>406107
"Well… there was that one time in med school…"
I smirk

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406109

>>406108
I pout.
"Oh come on!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406110

>>406109
"Well you know what they say about university and experimentation…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406111

>>406110
"…not really… still, that's unfair!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406112

>>406111
I wave a hoof dismissively, still smirking
"It was yeaaaars ago… I hadn't even met Winter Dew back then…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406113

>>406112
I keep pouting.
"That is still unfair! Just because I'm not an universitic or whatever!?"
Then I quiet down a bit.
"And… I think I can guess who that was."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406114

>>406113
"I'm only joking, Emrille."
I chuckle, then whisper in her ear
"Experimentation happened in high school already."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406115

>>406114
'1d10'

Roll #1 4 = 4

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406116

>>406115
>>406114
My face falls completely and I look at her sadly.
"Oh come the fuck on… this isn't fair…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406117

>>406116
"I was kidding!"
I sigh
"There was this one mare I was friends with for the longest time… but she wanted to be more than that. I… had to turn her down, as much as it disappointed her."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406118

>>406117
Keep looking at her.
"So… nothing? Really? You're not just saying that to make me feel better? Or am I not a pretty enough mare for you to swing your barn doors?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406119

>>406118
I run a hoof through her mane with a slight smile
"You're a healthy young mare with good looks, Emrille. I just… I'm just not attracted to mares. I just can't see them in that way."
I tap my chin with a hoof
"It's like… being able to appreciate something's beauty without actually falling for it. How do you see stallions anyway? Aside from not being attracted to them."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406120

>>406119
"They can be pretty good to hang out with and everything, it's not like I hate all stallions or someshit. Like, Abilio, he can be a good guy when he wants to be."
Take a short pause.
"And it doesn't take more than a shake of your flanks or an 'accidental' swipe of your tail to make them drop their guard."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406121

>>406120
I chuckle at that last part
"It's some kind of magic, that."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406122

>>406121
I chuckle as well.
"Works every.fucking.time."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406123

>>406122
I shake my head
"At home, there were always stallions who would ignore the fact I was a Lunite for being a single mare. Always did have more male patients…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406124

>>406123
"I had a really good deterrent once I got that saddle built. Nopony really wanted to push their luck after a no. Unless I wanted them to. And even before, I had a few trick shots in my saddlebags… did I ever tell you how I got into the fleet?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406129

>>406124
"It was in Stonebriar, right?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406131

>>406129
I nod.
"But did I tell you how?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406132

>>406131
I shake my head
"You haven't…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406133

>>406132
I nod again.
"So, I was chilling at a bar, having a drink from the last of my leftover money from the last job, talking with a gryphon who appreciated ranged combat as well, when this guy shows up, right?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406135

>>406133
I nod and listen what she has to say.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406136

>>406135
"Buys a small casket of the most fucking expensive wine there is in the bar for take out then flashes me a huuuuge bag of gold, saying he knows a place where fun is to be had!"
I smirk.

Spring Water [Doctor] 406138

>>406136
"I can imagine what he was referring to."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406141

>>406138
"No shit, Spring? Anyway, I was pretty giddy. Done this a hundred times before. So of course I told him to lead the way."

Spring Water 406145

>>406141
"And then?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406149

>>406145
"Y'know, he lead me to this house, and I was just about to shoot him where it counts and take the money, but do you know who it was? Fucking Face, from the fleet, and as it turned out, it's a good thing I didn't hurt him, since they had an actual merc job!"
I let out a laugh.
"Is that fucked up or what?"

Spring Water 406150

>>406149
"Yes?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406153

>>406150
I nod.
"Well… that's it, really. I got the job. I met you not much after that."

Spring Water 406155

>>406153
"So… where is Tela in this whole story, exactly?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406157

>>406155
"Oh, she joined in Autumnsreach. We sort of split off a while back…"

Spring Water 406158

>>406157
"I know she joined there… how come you were in two different cities so far away from each other? Must have been one heck of a split-up."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406159

>>406158
"Eh, it's not like we hated the guts of each other or anything. Shit just happens sometimes."

Spring Water 406165

>>406159
"… Like? I mean… if you want to talk about it at least…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406167

>>406165
Wave a hoof around.
"Silly shit. I guess we just needed some time. I mean, we worked together for a shitload of time, y'know. And there's not just fun with risking your life for money, sometimes you get under the skin of each other. But I'm really grateful for her. I couldn't be here if not for Tela."

Groves 406438

>>406167
"Huh… I didn't know the two of you were so close."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406439

>>406438
"Yeah, you could say that…she's really the only good friend I ever made who I still have."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406440

>>406439
"I don't know what to make of Tela… she's not the most polite of ponies but she still seems… kind. In her own strange way."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406441

>>406440
"She really is… I think she is a better pony than me."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406442

>>406441
"Well I guess I haven't known her long enough to judge."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406443

>>406442
"It's because… y'know, she cares. For more than money. I guess I do now too, but still."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406444

>>406443
"Well I'm glad she's around for you again. It must be nice."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406445

>>406444
I nod.
"Mhm…"
Look around.
"Um, don't tell this to her, but my heart really ached when we split up, and it was jumping with joy when she just showed up out of nowhere."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406446

>>406445
I smile at her
"I'm sure she felt the same way. She clearly cares a lot for you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406447

>>406446
"And I care for her too. I think the fact that we prevented each other from dying so much had something to do with it."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406448

>>406447
I chuckle
"Probably. That's a thing that happens often."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406449

>>406448
Let out a whistle.
"That bubble she uses… fucking hell, she just put it on and charged into any shit. She barely ever watched her back."
I snicker.
"So I guess you could say I did that for her."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406450

>>406449
"Sounds like quite the duo."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406451

>>406450
I smirk.
"Well we wouldn't be here if we failed a job, would we?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406452

>>406451
"Very true."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406453

>>406452
I nod, then stay silent for a while.
"Now that we're talking about the past and stuff… can I ask something?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406454

>>406453
"Sure, I guess."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406455

>>406454
"Uh.."
Take a deep breath.
"What was he like?… Winter Dew?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406456

>>406455
"Ah…"
I look away
"He was… an honest and kindhearted stallion. Passionate about his work and dreams. He delved in more pharmaceutical healing methods as opposed to my more magical methods, so we formed a nice team."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406457

>>406456
I nod.
"So I guess you two met at some sort of healer thingy?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406458

>>406457
I nod
"Canterlot Royal medical academy…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406459

>>406458
"I envy him, really…"
Sigh.
"It really seems you two were made for each other."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406460

>>406459
I nod sadly, still looking away
"We were…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406461

>>406460
"I just don't understand you."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406462

>>406461
I turn my head slightly
"… What do you mean?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406463

>>406462
"He is dead. You being sad won't bring him back. Yet everytime he gets even the slightest of mentions, you start acting like this… like there is nothing but despair in the world. Like you never had good times."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406464

>>406463
I wince slightly
"I… miss him… that's all there is to it."
I let out a sad sigh
"Back home, I didn't have time to think and be sad about it, I had to take care of Summer… and the clinic took up all of my time. I was so busy I didn't have time to let my thoughts linger. But here, with nothing to do…"
I shake my head

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406465

>>406464
"We all have ponies we miss, but don't you think you should, y'know, get over it?

Spring Water [Doctor] 406466

>>406465
"I… I can't… That would be the most awful thing of me…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406467

>>406466
"Would it? You think he'd want you to be a depressed wreck of a pony? Is this how you think he wants you to remember him?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406468

>>406467
I look down to the ground, tearing up slightly
"… I killed him, Emrille. He… died because of me."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406469

Elsewhere, at roughly the same time…
I'm on deck.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406470

>>406468
I wince and pat your back slightly.
"Shh, that's… what happened?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406471

>>406470
"… Remember that time where I told you about the lack of medicine? About… how you can't save everypony and have to ration your medical supplies in times of epidemics? Having to… choose who to save and who to leave untreated?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406472

>>406471
I nod.
"You… chose somepony else over him?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406473

>>406472
"No… I just… there was none left. I thought things were under control but… I was wrong. And my magic wasn't good enough to… save him…"
I bury my face in my hooves-
"Curry is right… my magical abilities are completely unstable… and now because of an error in my judgement, Summer has no daddy…"
-and start sobbing quietly

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406474

>>406473
I try to keep holding you as comfortingly as I can as a filly.
"It's not your fault, Spring… illnesses and stuff like that happen, and sometimes we can't do anything about it… you shouldn't beat yourself up like that."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406475

>>406474
"I-I'm supposed to be good at healing… I shouldn't… he d-died because of me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406476

>>406475
"No. He died because he was sick. Your healing magic is not omnipotent, Spring. You can't save everypony… even if they are close to you. That doesn't mean it is your fault."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406477

>>406476
I keep my face buried in my hooves
"I-If I had rationed better… he could have lived… h-he… would have b-been with us… I failed him… I failed Summer…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406478

>>406477
"No. You pushed on and cared and provided for Summer… I don't think he could have asked for more."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406479

>>406478
I take a step back
"I-I should… please, I need some time alone…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406480

>>406479
I frown.
"Spring…"
I sigh.
"You… you were there for me when I felt like crying… I can be here for you too."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406481

>>406480
I rub my teary eyes with my hooves
"I'll… I'll be fine… I just… I need to… a moment alone…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406482

>>406481
"You were turning away from the world into yourself for years. It didn't do you any good, and I care for you, so I won't just walk away and leave you like this…. Please. Let me help."

Tela [Spellsword] 406483

>>406469
"Hey golden boy!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406484

>>406483
"Oh, hello Tela. Good match you had with miss Heart the other day."

Tela [Spellsword] 406485

>>406484
I smirk
"Not too bad, was it? I kicked her in the cunt a few times!"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406486

>>406485
I'll nod slightly.
"Afraid I was a bit distracted, as Seekkill and myself decided to have a match as well. Quite a fighter, that gryphon."

Tela [Spellsword] 406487

>>406486
"I noticed as much, not too shabby of a fight on your part. I thought you were all words and no game, to be honest. Guess I was wrong."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406488

>>406487
"Well, glad to have proven you wrong, then."
I'll give a little chuckle.

Tela [Spellsword] 406489

>>406488
"Ya know… if you're not scared of me, we could have a little scrap of our own."
I grin wickedly

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406491

>>406489
"I am slightly curious, but I've actually finally managed to work out some frustration against Emrille. I'm afraid I might get carried away if too many good things happen in one day."

Tela [Spellsword] 406493

>>406491
"Sounds like chicken talk."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406495

>>406493
"Not at all."
I'll think for a moment.
"Though, it's not like there's much to do during the trip… Alright. Just give me a moment to set a few things aside."

Tela [Spellsword] 406496

>>406495
I unsheathe my sword and take out my sharpening tool, getting to work.
"Take yer time."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406499

>>406496
Setting aside the plant, and anything else I might be carrying, I'll move to a more open part of the deck.
Putting myself into a ready stance, I'll nod to Tela.
"Whenever you're ready."

Tela [Spellsword] 406502

>>406499
"I'll let you take the initiative. Show me what you're made of, golden boy. Don't you fucking hold back on me."
Sentry to counter whatever you throw at me. Which means I roll a 6.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406507

>>406502
Right. Well, let's see if I can't break her guard with a heavy sweep of the trident. '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

406514

>>406507
you fall flat on your face in your bold charge to attack me
"Come on, what the fuck was that?"
Wait for him to regain his composure, then move in for an attack of my own.

Roll #1 7 + 1 = 8

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406518

>>406514
Right, that was foolish.
'1d10+1' counter.

Roll #1 9 + 1 = 10

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406521

>>406514
>>406518
There we go. Catching her slightly off guard, the haft of the trident solidly hits home as I sidestep away.
"You took that well."
'1d10+1' to keep up the pressure.

Roll #1 7 + 1 = 8

406522

>>406521
"THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! HAHAHA!"
Counter that!

3/5
6/6

Roll #1 3 + 1 = 4

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406524

>>406522
>>406521
Nope. With a bit of a spin to throw her sword out of the way, the trident hits home again. '1d10+1' to keep this ball rolling.

Roll #1 3 + 1 = 4

406527

>>406524
"Doing good, golden boy!"
Dodge that and slash back at him!

Roll #1 1 + 1 = 2

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406529

>>406524
>>406527
"Well, I'd have to be good to not be hydra food for two decades!"
Taking advantage of the wild swing Tela throws at me, I'll catch the sword between the prongs of my trident, and disarm her while giving her a solid tap on the head with the haft as the sword goes skittering across the deck. Dropping the trident to keep things fair, I'll toss out a solid left hoof. '1d10+1'
C:3/5
T:4/8


Roll #1 10 + 1 = 11

406530

>>406529
"Son of a-!"
lost my sword, time to switch to good ol' lefty and righty! Punch him back!

Roll #1 7 = 7

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406533

>>406530
>>406529
Goes right through your guard, rattling your skull and will probably bruise.
Now, let's set up a counter-hit. Judo toss. '1d10+1'

Roll #1 4 + 1 = 5

406537

>>406533
"OH NO YOU DON'T!"
kick him right in the gut!
3/5
2/5

Roll #1 6 = 6

406546

>>406537
this time I get out on top, kicking you in the gut while you try and lift me up.
I leap towards you and try to hit you again as you get back up
both 2 hits left

Roll #1 10 = 10

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406548

>>406546
Let's see if I can't cross counter. '1d10+1'

Roll #1 10 + 1 = 11

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406551

>>406546
>>406548
With a might crash, blows are exchanged. But Tela's was just slightly off-mark, giving me just the opening I needed to plant a solid hoof into her chest, knocking her back and onto the deck, down for now.
Breathing a little heavily, I'll come over to offer her a hoof up.
"Almost had me."

Tela [Spellsword] 406554

>>406551
I take his hoof and pull myself up, spitting some blood out on the floor
"Fuck. Good job, that was some intense shit."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406557

>>406554
"I didn't think I'd manage to get the better of that last one, but the boat shifted just slightly. Pretty good with your hooves."
I'll float our weapons back over to us.

Tela [Spellsword] 406560

>>406557
I sheathe my sword
"You pack one hell of a punch, that's for damn sure. Good job on disarming me."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406573

>>406560
I'll grasp my trident, and give the prongs a tap.
"That's actually part of what these are for, aside from spearing fish. Same concept as a sword-breaker and such."

Tela [Spellsword] 406579

>>406573
"Seems too clumsy too me. I need something short and quick so I can use speed to my advantage."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406581

>>406579
I'll nod.
"And that's why most swordbreakers are, themselves, roughly sword-shaped. Easier to swing, and a bit more maneuverable."
I'll go pick up my plant and other things.
"But, this trident has served me well, and I'm familiar with it. It's not much heavier than a spear, really."

Tela [Spellsword] 406583

>>406581
"And that's why I asked somepony to teach me some magic spells, just in case some fucker disarms me somehow."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406587

>>406583
"As I just did. Though, I'm surprised you didn't use your shield spell. I would have thought that to be your first move."

Tela [Spellsword] 406589

>>406587
"Eh, didn't feel like using spells. Just wanted a nice physical scrap."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406605

>>406589
I'll chuckle.
"Well, you got it. Damn fine one, too. Good sparring partner like yourself can keep me from getting too soft."

Tela [Spellsword] 406611

>>406605
"You beat me fair and square. You're one heck of a fighter, golden boy. Don't let anypony tell ya otherwise."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406612

>>406611
"It's not the fighting that worries me, it's the protecting part. I haven't had to worry about watching anyone else until miss Seas showed up. I'm… terribly out of practice when it comes to taking care of others in a fight, and it shows."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406751

>>406482
"I-I just need to calm myself down and I'll be fine again… Don't you worry about me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406752

>>406751
"Yeah, well I will worry about you. Don't do this please… just let it all out. It's okay sometimes."
Keep looking at her sadly and slowly take a step closer.

406753

>>406752
Do I break down?

Roll #1 10 = 10

Spring Water [Doctor] 406754

>>406753
Hell fucking no.
I calm down immediately.
"… I'm fine again. Sorry you had to see that."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406755

>>406754
I keep frowning at her.
"Spring? You sure? I mean, there's no shame in it…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406756

>>406755
I nod
"It's okay… I'm calm again."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406757

>>406756
I sigh.
"Yeah, and you are just going to bottle it up again and everything…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406758

>>406757
I give her a slight smile
"I'll live, don't worry about me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406759

>>406758
"So… you did hear when I said it was not your fault, right? Just, stop blaming yourself, okay?"
Hug her.
Or her leg.
Whatever a filly can reach.

Spring Water [Doctor] 406760

>>406759
I put my hoof on her head
"I'll do my best."

Tela [Spellsword] 406761

>>406612
"You should try and learn a bubble spell like mine. Those work real great to protect from harm."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406762

>>406761
I'll shake my head.
"Where would I find a teacher? Besides, I'm beginning to trust my magic less and less these days. How many times has it made things worse instead of making it better?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406763

>>406760
I grumble slightly.
"You're one piece of work, y'know that? At least I could kicked the ass of Tela when she was being a dummy like you."

Tela [Spellsword] 406764

>>406762
"Hell, maybe I could teach you? I dunno. There's also your little sis', she knows how to cast it too. And fuck that noise. If your magic starts getting uppity, that means you've got too many emotions bottled up."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406765

>>406763
"I'm sorry, I wish things could have been different."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406766

>>406764
"Perhaps."
I'll sit for a minute, and sigh a little.
"What do you think about her, by the way? My sister."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406767

>>406765
"I just meant you blaming yourself for his death. For something you can't control. It's like if I started blaming myself instead of the cold weather for the death of Palm. No use crying over spilt milk, right?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406768

>>406767
I sigh
"Can we talk about something else? Please?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406769

>>406768
"Fine, fine… whatcha' want to talk about?"

Tela [Spellsword] 406771

>>406766
"Skyly? Eh… she's fine, I guess. I haven't talked to her too much yet, but she's got a real mouth on her. She's got a great bubble spell too, I couldn't get the fucker to stay down back in Autumnsreach. Guess that's why Dainty is so keen on keeping her close."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406772

>>406769
"About the fleet and crew? I honestly steer clear of most of them, so I don't really know how everything is."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406773

>>406772
I nod.
"Well, ask away. I was never a sucker for real long monolouges and shit."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406774

>>406773
"Just… how engaged are you in the whole fleet politics?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406775

>>406774
"Eh, sort of well?"
Smirk.
"This whole filly thing is supposed to make me an officer. That was our deal with Abilio."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406776

>>406771
I'll nod a bit, and chuckle a little at her being called Skyly.
"That might be it. She's also a healer, and miss Heart's condition does seem to make her like to collect them."
I'll frown a little.
"Though, aside from that, it could just be another form of insurance against myself, in case I were to ever go back on my word."
I'll shake my head.
"I'm well aware that I was an extra in the deal that saved the doctors' lives, and that she is being friendly so as to keep all four of us happy with being on her leash."
I'll grimace a little.
"I just don't want my sister to be used as collateral, and put into such a servitude, willing or not. There's nothing I can really do, of course. Skylight's a grown mare, capable of making her own decisions. It's just… I don't like it. What that spirit said to me still bothers me."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406777

>>406775
"So… the same amount of power as Light Heart then?"

Tela [Spellsword] 406779

>>406776
"Her condition? Back the hell up, what do you mean?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406781

>>406777
"Yeah, something like that I guess."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406782

>>406779
"Light Heart's not just a name. She has a condition where great strain can cause her heart to fail, and stop beating. That's why she seems to be collecting doctors, and possibly why she wished to save miss Spring, and especially miss Seas."

Tela [Spellsword] 406785

>>406782
"Are you serious? Hot damn, what a name to have then. Her parents must've been real goddamn comedians."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406786

>>406781
"So… how much power do you really have then?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406788

>>406785
"Well, miss Heart is a businesspony at heart, Tela. That might not even be her real name. Or the first second name. It's likely not going to be her last name, either."
I'll shake my head.
"I just hope she doesn't drag my sister around and get her into trouble…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406790

>>406786
"Well, 'power' over slaves, jobbers, and the rest who are not officers and the like. Just need to get it confirmed to be official by Smitts."

Tela [Spellsword] 406792

>>406788
"Huh… that's so damn odd…"
I tap a hoof against my chin
"Wonder what her real name is then…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406794

>>406792
"I feel that if she wanted to change it, she likely had good reason. So, I don't pry. I've done enough walking onto caltrops with Emrille and Felfire to last me a life time."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406796

>>406790
"You sure did get promoted fast after Stonebriar…"

Tela [Spellsword] 406797

>>406794
"Heh. Afraid of Dainty? She seems okay for a pirate. Hell, she doesn't seem like a pirate at all. It's like they plucked her straight from Canterlot castle and put her here."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406799

>>406796
I shrug.
"I guess I did what I was paid to do."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406800

>>406799
I nod absentmindedly

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406801

>>406800
I look at my clothes.
"I really love the extra money and the fancy clothes though."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406803

>>406801
"I always dressed in more moderate style myself…"
I run a hoof over my dark robes

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406805

>>406797
"Not afraid, no. Just fairly certain I won't get a straight answer. The only reason I know about Emrille's past is that I stumbled onto it blindly. And Felfire… She doesn't want to talk about it."
I'll shake my head.
"Either way, it would be rude of me to start making demands of miss Heart before I've cause to make them."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406807

>>406803
"When I was a freelancer it was all about how effective it was. It sort of shoved I guess, that old rag, but I still loved it. And that sweet coat too. But now that I got healers covering my ass, I can get more stylish with it."
I chuckle.
"Show some dominance, y'know."

Tela [Spellsword] 406808

>>406805
I shrug
"Emmy told me about her past already. And Felfire… ah, I don't really give a fuck. I don't wanna piss her off so I just steer clear of her before I say something that pisses her off. Guess I'll just ask Dainty about it myself."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406809

>>406808
"Wasn't that what you were doing while sparring with her?"

Tela [Spellsword] 406810

>>406809
"Yeah, but we didn't fight long enough to get any juicy details."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406815

>>406810
"There's always next time. She can't drink due to her heart, or so she says, so that's out. I'm inclined to believe her on that point."

Tela [Spellsword] 406817

>>406815
"Shit, if her name is fake… maybe that condition is too?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406818

>>406817
I'll shake my head.
"No, that much is patently true. I've seen it happen, and it almost happen."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406819

>>406807
"And paint you as a target as well."

Tela [Spellsword] 406821

>>406818
"Maybe she fakes it?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406822

>>406819
Smirk again.
"I can draw really fast."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406824

>>406822
"Well… I guess I can't deny your marksmanship. I've seen it with my own eyes."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406825

>>406821
I'll shake my head.
"No, I don't think that's something anyone can fake, no matter how good they are."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406827

>>406824
Turn my head slightly.
"It's been my cutie mark after all. Twice."

Tela [Spellsword] 406828

>>406825
"I guess so. No need to get paranoid. Whatever."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406831

>>406827
"How is that working out for you anyway?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406833

>>406828
"True."
I'll think for a minute.
"You know, I don't think I really asked, but why did Emrille start poking fun at you, anyway?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406834

>>406831
"Pretty good! Back in that Autumnsreach, when we fought that guy, I felt really good not just about my accuracy, but the power of my enchancements too! I mean, one of the bullets fucking coated him in fire! It's like my magic got more powerful!"
Speak more excitedly as I get into it and even rear up slightly with the flap of my wings at the end.

Tela [Spellsword] 406835

>>406833
I take a step back
"Huh?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406837

>>406834
I chuckle
"I always found it funny how similar you and Tela are. You use a gun and magic to enhance it, while she uses a sword and magic to enhance herself. I guess she doesn't use any elements though."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406838

>>406835
"When did it all start? The name calling, the teasing, all of it. I'm curious. You've been friends for years, right?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406840

>>406837
"Yeah, just a boring old sword. Holler at me when she can do the stuff I can! And you do know the fire and ice are just the blatantly obvious ones, right?"

Tela [Spellsword] 406842

>>406838
"Ugh… When I met Emmy she was an incompetent fuckwit who was bound to get herself killed in no time. Guess being in the business for a while longer got me some noticeable experience. So I took her under my wing and taught her how to be less of a fuckwit."
I shrug
"She's still dense as fuck, of course. But at least she's competent now. She knows how to handle her sorry ass even without me."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406844

>>406840
"I'm guessing things like lightning and earth are possibilities too?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406845

>>406842
"You'll get no argument from me on that score. I just hope she doesn't make me lose my temper again…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406846

>>406844
I nod.
"Yup! I already know earth, too! Even if that's a mudpony magic thing."

Tela [Spellsword] 406848

>>406845
"Eh, she's not so bad. I guess you just did something to piss her off and now she's using you as a scapegoat."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406850

>>406846
"So… what if you lose your gun? Do you know how to use swords too?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406851

>>406848
"I guessed her past as an orphan in casual conversation without meaning to. She's had it in for me ever since, it seems like."
I'll shake my head.
"And if she does manage to anger me as much as she did this time, I can't repeat what I did."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406853

>>406850
"Eh… I just won't lose it."

Spring Water [Doctor] 406854

>>406853
"But… what if you do?"

Tela [Spellsword] 406855

>>406851
I shrug
"I'll just tell her to lay her ass low and shut it then."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406856

>>406855
"I'd rather she not be reminded, actually. Then she'd likely 'accidentally' include me into the crossfire. Hopefully miss Spring will have distracted her from that."

Tela [Spellsword] 406857

>>406856
"You're a nice guy, I can respect that. Hell, I think we can be buddies. When I tell Emrille not to shoot at my buddy, she best fucking listen to me."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406858

>>406854
"I get another one, duh."
Blink.
"Wait a second…"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406860

>>406858
"What? What's wrong?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406861

>>406857
"And if she just starts trying to push us together like she had planned earlier? Not that I wouldn't be flattered, of course, but… I don't know. It just seems that if it did happen, she'd never stop cackling about it."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406862

>>406860
"Did that motherfucker take my gun?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 406863

>>406862
I chuckle and shake my head
"No, I took it. Didn't want a adorable little filly run around with it."

Tela [Spellsword] 406865

>>406861
"Yeah, well, fuck her. I'll stomp her ass into the ground and tell her to sit the fuck down and leave you alone."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 406867

>>406863
"Oh… urgh… really, I'll have to kick Abilio in the ass to fix this. So, will you give it back?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406869

>>406865
"Good luck with that. The only one who can probably get her on that tight a leash is either Spring, or…"
I'll rub my beard and look at Tela for a second.
"She might not go quietly, though. I know you've said you two have worked together before, but losing one of her favorite targets isn't going to go down easy for her."

Tela 406875

>>406869
"Or…? And fuck, I think I can get her to back off if I'm serious about it."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406877

>>406875
"Just don't hit her too hard. I did, and she ended up thinking she was a filly again."

Tela 406879

>>406877
I smirk
"I wont. Now… about your sister…"
I look around
"If you want, I could keep an eye on her."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406880

>>406879
"Now, I don't think I can afford your rates, Tela. Even the friend rates."
I'll give a small chuckle at that.
"But I would appreciate the extra set of eyes on her. I can't honestly trust a lot of the crew, even though I'm trying to give them a chance."

Tela 406882

>>406880
I shrug
"I'll just keep my eyes peeled. We both work for Dainty, so we're kinda colleagues."
I snicker, then stop as I think of something
"I wonder if Dainty made her offer to her yet…"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406883

>>406882
"Probably, knowing her. They did throw in together when it came to saving the doctors…"

Tela 406884

>>406883
"I meant to your sis'. I know she offered to Emmy, but she refused. Did she offer you as well?"

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406885

>>406884
"Oh. I'm not certain. I haven't really asked, actually…"
I'll think for a moment.
"And no, miss Heart did not offer me any money for services. As I was something of an accessory to keep the doctors happy, all she asked is that I stay out of trouble."

Tela 406886

>>406885
I snort
"I meant if she asked you and and Skylight for a fucking, ya dingus."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406888

>>406886
"Oh."
I'll go quiet at that.
"She offered to… talk, if things got beyond my tolerance."

Tela 406892

>>406888
"I guess she does that well enough. Still, she's pretty goddamn good looking. If I was a dyke…"
I smirk

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 406893

>>406892
"She is. And it's probably that, and a bit more, which makes Rosemary so loyal to her."
I'll shake my head a bit.
"I just can't wrap my head around why she'd let miss Heart be so loose with her affections."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407143

>>406867
I smile and take out the revolver.
"Of course I will."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407145

>>407143
"Oh, goodie!"
Extend my hooves to accept it.

Spring Water [Doctor] 407146

>>407145
And I'll float it over with my magic.
"A little revolver for a little filly."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407147

>>407146
Click my tongue to sound like I cocked it, but then put it in it's holster.
"Makes one hell of a bang though."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407148

>>407147
"So I've heard."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407149

>>407148
"Lovely, isn't it? I love how they coo under your care. Especially my rifle."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407151

>>407149
I shrug
"Never been a huge fan of weapons."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407152

>>407151
"They meant life for me, so I guess it's obvious I'd grow to like them."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407153

>>407152
"I only kept them around for emergencies. It's a good thing dad taught my how to use them."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407154

>>407153
"I guess not having a reliable means of survival counts as emergency too? Because I used them for that first too."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407157

>>407154
"That depends…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407158

>>407157
"On what?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407159

>>407158
"Let's be honest, robbing ponies is not exactly the most ethical way to survive."

Emrille [Gunslinger 407160

>>407159
"If I had to choose I would rather be unethical than dead."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407165

>>407160
"There are plenty of other jobs that don't require robbing ponies. Like guarding. Or hunting."

Emrille [Gunslinger 407167

>>407165
"When I first started mugging ponies, nopony would have given me any sort of job. And then I just got good at it and it stuck."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407168

>>407167
"How old were you?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407171

>>407168
I try to think back.
"Let's see… shit…three winters… no, four… I think around fourteen? I'm not sure, really."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407176

>>407171
"How… did you even get a gun?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407180

>>407176
I chuckle.
"I guess you could call it fate. I found it at the most peculiar of places."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407181

>>407180
"That being?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407186

>>407181
"Okay not really fate, it was dumb luck… Anyway, I found it in an alley. I just managed to get my hooves on some bread before, but had to leg it to get away. So I went in there to hide… and that's when I found the body."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407189

>>407186
"… Right."

Emrille [Gunslinger 407190

>>407189
"It seemed like he was shot up himself, then dumped in there. Pretty unceremonous, poor guy, but hey, it was my lucky day. I found some gold, small valuables… and that gun. With a bit of extra ammo too. Of course, I had no fucking idea how to use one at the time."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407193

>>407190
"So… what did you do?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407197

>>407193
"Took all of it. Hidden the gun in the saddlebags I found on him. Got myself clean clothes. Got myself warm and good food for the first time since a long while… after selling the shit I didn't want in a pawn shop I even got enough to stay at a cheap inn for a week!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407199

>>407197
"And then?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407201

>>407199
"I realized the money won't last me forever… but whatever I tied, nopony wanted to give me a chance. At anything… so I went out to the borders of the town, and took out the gun. I started to practice, how fast I can get it out, how to aim it, even fired a few precious bullets… but that was just to know how it works. I had another plan."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407204

>>407201
"That being robbing somepony…"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407206

>>407204
I nod.
"And to only use the gun as a means to scare them."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407207

>>407206
I scrunch
"And if they didn't want to give up their valuables?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407208

>>407207
"Oh, they did after I cocked the gun."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407210

>>407208
"That's a bit cruel… did you never get caught or arrested?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407212

>>407210
"I did it cleverly. Always moving to different spots, during the late evening or early night, and so on. And hey, if I could I even just looked for ponies who did some shopping so I could take nothing personal, just a bit of money and whatever they got!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407224

>>407212
I sigh
"Still… it's stealing."

Emrille [Gunslinger 407227

>>407224
"It wasn't that bad… until, y'know, it was obvious shit would go wrong at some point."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407228

>>407227
"And how?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407229

>>407228
"I tried to drunk a mare who was drunk and had a gun herself."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407231

>>407229
"Right…"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407232

>>407231
"And that's how I got my first cutie mark. Do you remember what it was?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407234

>>407232
I wince

Emrille [Gunslinger 407235

>>407234
"Is that a yes or a no?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407237

>>407235
"A bullseye?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407243

>>407237
"With a bullet in the middle. And that was no coincidence. She was the quicker draw. She pulled the trigger by the time I could react. But some sort of survival instict kicked in… so I aimed and fired back. Hit the bullet mid-flight.
Five seconds later, there I stood with a cutie mark and a dead body."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407245

>>407243
I shake my head
"What a waste of life."

Emrille [Gunslinger 407247

>>407245
"I didn't want it to happen either, okay? But it happened anyway."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407249

>>407247
I sigh and slump down onto my haunches.
"Just hearing it makes me sad."

Emrille [Gunslinger 407250

>>407249
"I was pretty shaken too, but I knew somepony was going to show up so I had to leg it… after taking her stuff and everything. I couldn't sleep that night. Or the one after that, for that matter."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407252

>>407250
I just stay quiet after that.

Emrille [Gunslinger 407253

>>407252
"So… I felt really shit after that. I wanted to turn myself in… so I went to do just that. Until I saw the posters."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407254

>>407253
"… the posters?"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407255

>>407254
"Bounties. For criminals. And I thought… I did it once. I can do it again, and make money out of it, and since it's criminals I'm going to do good, right?"

Spring Water 407258

>>407255
I sigh
"Yeah…"

Emrille [Gunslinger 407259

>>407258
I let out a laugh.
"Oh how fucking wrong I was."

Spring Water 407261

>>407259
"… Right."

Emrille [Gunslinger 407263

>>407261
"There was a reason the guards had those bounty posters, right? And I, a little filly thought I could get them. I barely made it out alive when I first tried. Not to mention I didn't even get the guy I was supposed to."

Spring Water 407264

>>407263
I just give her a sad look.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407269

>>407264
"…so I tried again. Got away with a busted wing that time."
Flap my left wing.
"Had to mug again to get money for proper healing… but then I tried again. And again. And then I killed him. And that bounty… that was much more than anything I've gotten before. It was worth the effort….so that was a lesson, I started slow, and small. I've been trying to do jobs and bounties and then later headhunting when it payed, and any job I could get my hooves on for a few years. Then I met Tela, and the rest is history."

Spring Water 407271

>>407269
"Well… you still could have become a guard after that…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407272

>>407271
"I tried.
The pay was shit and the job was boring."

Spring Water 407274

>>407272
"But it's an honest job."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407276

>>407274
"I can't survive off of honesty."

Spring Water 407278

>>407276
"Yes you can. Plenty of guards do."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407280

>>407278
"And what do I do? Just settle down? Buy a nice little house with a pretty little garden and live a jolly little life?"

Spring Water 407282

>>407280
"As opposed to being a pirate? Yes. You could also just become an adventurer. Protect caravans. Do something that doesn't involve bad things."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407283

>>407282
"Being a merc includes a lot of things. I did protect caravans. And do 'non' bad things."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407285

>>407283
"But not exclusively."
I shake my head
"And now you are a pirate."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407287

>>407285
"And yet it's still a better life that many have."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407288

>>407287
I frown
"At the cost of lives of innocents."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407292

>>407288
"Even if I wasn't a pirate, the whole fleet wouldn't just give up. And now here are you, holding us back. We can try to keep the casulties low and get rich."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407296

>>407292
I shake my head
"Are you really trying to justify this? How do you sleep at night? Knowing you contributed to hundreds of innocents dying in Stonebriar?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407302

>>407296
"So did you. And your daughter."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407303

>>407302
"And I still pray every evening for forgiveness for all the lost souls from that day. Even if it was against my will, I still bear guilt myself. And I can only hope Luna will forgive me."
I give her a harsh look
"And if you truly don't feel an ounce of regret, then I have seriously misjudged you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407306

>>407303
"Stonebriar wasn't pretty. I admitted that much before. I do not enjoy shooting helpless innocents."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407313

>>407306
"Tell that to all the ponies that died that day. The children that died that day."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407317

>>407313
"And if I wasn't in Stonebriar, they would still have died. If I wasn't with the fleet, I might have died and if I died , you and your daughter would have died later.
What am I supposed to do anyway? Stop the fleet by myself? Ask them to stop being pirates?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407319

>>407317
"That does not excuse you from cooperating with pirates, Emrille. 'They would have died anyway' is not an excuse."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407323

>>407319
"So if I am such a worthless piece of evil shit then why shouldn't I just shoot myself in the head and be done with it? Would that make them happy?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407328

>>407323
"No, but you could at least show some sorrow and repent for what you have done. To change your ways."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407333

>>407328
"I'm not going to cry over spilt milk. Nothing I could have done would have prevented what happened, but you know I am trying to change. I took the first steps on becoming a better pony, but if you won't believe in me, then who will?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407334

>>407333
"You sure don't sound like you're sorry."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407345

>>407334
"What am I supposed to say?"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407347

>>407345
I shake my head and walk away
"Think about it. Come back when you have a sensible answer."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407351

>>407347
Flutter in front of her.
"Okay, what more am I supposed to say? I told you that even those ponies who died by me in that Vault were unfortunate, and I didn't want to do it, but shit happens! They were at the wrong place at the wrong time, and it sucks, but they paid a price for it."
Look her in the eyes.
"If you start berating me like your daughter I might start to believe that shit myself."

Spring Water [Doctor] 407355

>>407351
I shake my head and walk past her.
"I said think about it. Meditate. Contemplate. Pray if you have to."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407359

>>407355
"Spring! For fuck's sake! Don't do this to me!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407360

>>407359
"Emrille. Just do it. You never know what you might come to realize."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407365

>>407360
"I can't 'just do it'! What's the point?!"

Spring Water [Doctor] 407377

>>407365
"It's not like you have a busy schedule. Who knows? Maybe you'll like it."
And now I leave for real.

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407414

Fucking…

Fine, I leave too.
Let's find Tela.

Tela [Spellsword] 407426

>>407414
I'll be wildly practicing with my sword moving around in a flurry on a practice dummy

>>406893
I shrug
"She seems kinda like a doormat to me. hell, maybe Rosey is just afraid of losing her or some shit, I dunno."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407430

>>407426
Pull out my revolver.
Shoot the target dummy right next to the one she is beating down between it's eyes.
Air shot.
'1d10+3'

Roll #1 9 + 3 = 12

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 407431

>>407426
"Or perhaps she loves her enough to forgive indiscretions."
I'll shake my head.
"It's a peculiar madness, that."

Tela [Spellsword] 407437

>>407430
I'll jump back in surprise
"WHAT THE-!?"
Turn to look at you
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU FUCKING WHORE!?"

>>407431
I snort
"Pretty sure she's just a massive doormat. I bet she'd snap pretty quickly when threatened."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407439

>>407437
I smirk, reload the spent bullet and holster the gun.
"Would you fucking look at that."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 407443

>>407437
"I'd like to think she wouldn't, and that miss Heart will come around one day to realize that love has to go both ways for it to work properly…"
Shake my head.
"But I think I've bothered you enough for now, Tela. Good day to you, and I look forward to sparring with you again in the future."

407447

>>407439
I walk over to her angrily and give her a firm smack against the head with a hoof
"Get fucked! What if that hit me!? Showing off like that like some cocky rookie on her first goddamned job."

>>407443
"Sure, whatever. Don't forget what I told you, you fucker. And next time we spar, I'm going to beat your ass blue."

Roll #1 8 = 8

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407452

>>407447
Fly out of her reach before she can do that!
'1d10'
"What, don't you trust me?~"

Roll #1 7 = 7

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407454

>>407452
Nah, she gets me, albeit barely.
I will chuckle anyway.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 407456

>>407447
"You're welcome to try, Tela, though don't be surprised if it's you who won't be able to sit afterwards."

Tela [Spellsword] 407466

>>407452
I sneer at her
"Fuck you! Seriously!"

>>407456
"Don't you fucking count on it, golden boy. You'll be very disappointed."

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 407468

>>407466
"Then I suppose we'll just have to fight again and see what's what. But I'll let your bruises heal first."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407469

>>407466
Keep hovering and giggling.
"Tela, Tela, did you even see how fucking accurate that was?"

Tela [Spellsword] 407473

>>407468
I snort
"Yeah yeah, go run off to that doctor to heal your sorry ass up. I'll toughen it out."

>>407469
"Do I need to blast your mug with a fucking spell? You could have missed that shot you stupid fucking whore!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407476

>>407473
Nod with my head towards the dummy.
"Shh, shh, you whiny cunt. Look. Come on, just go ahead and look!"

Tela [Spellsword] 407479

>>407476
"Get fucked."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407481

>>407479
"Looks like I only got better while you were gone, huh?"
Keep smirking in the air like a madmare.
Or filly.

Curry [Male Unicorn Landkeeper] 407482

>>407473
I'll just chuckle as I head off to somewhere else. The bruises are already clearing up on my end, at least.

Tela [Spellsword] 407487

>>407481
I sheathe my sword and walk away angrily

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407489

>>407487
Flutter onto her back as she starts to walk away.
"Oh come the fuck on! You know I care for you! I wouldn't ruin your face even further by shooting you!"

Tela [Spellsword] 407498

>>407489
I shake her off
"I swear… IF THAT HAD FUCKING HIT ME I'D HAVE MURDERED YOU!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407500

>>407498
Flutter back again.
"You're not that fat, Tela. Come on, don't whine about what didn't happen! You'd be impressed if that wasn't you right next to it, right?"

Tela [Spellsword] 407506

>>407500
"Just don't pull that fucking shit again. Now, what the hell do you want huh?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407510

>>407506
Chuckle.
"Right, like I haven't done it a hundred thousand fucking times already in actual trouble."
Then I snort.
"Eh… and I don't know. I guess I just wanted to hang out with you."

Tela [Spellsword] 407513

>>407510
"Well good job on pissing me off."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407517

>>407513
Imitate Spring's voice.
"Maybe you should meditate!"
Then on my own voice.
"Bleh…"

Tela [Spellsword] 407521

>>407517
"What?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407525

>>407521
"You know! Meditate, contemplate, pray!"

Tela [Spellsword] 407526

>>407525
"Yeah of course I fucking know it, you dumbass. So what of it? Do I look like a damn priest to you?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407528

>>407526
"No, but we should reconsider our lives!"

Tela [Spellsword] 407529

>>407528
"Yeah okay, you have fun with that. I need to practice more."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407532

>>407529
I sigh.
"Okay, no really, just hold on a sec…"
Pause for a few seconds.
"It's about Spring."

Tela [Spellsword] 407533

>>407532
"Oh great. Now what? Did she ask you to convert or some shit?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407535

>>407533
"No, she won't speak to me until… fuck, I don't know. She said that I don't look sorry enough for what happened at Stonebriar."

Tela [Spellsword] 407536

>>407535
"Okay, so what the heck am I supposed to do? I wasn't even there, you idiot. If she asked you to pray, then fucking try it and see what happens. Maybe Celestia herself will descend from the heavens to bless your sorry ass."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407539

>>407536
"You're not fucking helping!"
I sigh again.
"I mean, yeah, that place was a slaugherhouse. And I killed innocents in that bank… but what's the point for feeling sorry for random ponies who died while I was on the job?"

Tela [Spellsword] 407821

>>407539
"Why the hell are you asking me? Them religious types value life way more than the common pony."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407822

>>407821
I shrug.
"Fucked if I know. Just how do you deal with collateral damage? Y'know, when you kill ponies you shouldn't have?"

Tela [Spellsword] 407823

>>407822
"I just don't attack them unless they threaten the mission. And if I do attack 'em, I just avoid killing them outright. Scaring them off or wounding them works just as damn well… most of the time."
I shrug
"Hell, not like most of the jobs I take involve innocents at all. Nopony's gonna cry about a bunch of cultists or bandits kicking the bucket."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407824

>>407823
"I mean, that Bank is Stonebrair? They were panicking and trying to fight, they even tore apart one of Felfire's zombies… so I had to put down a few of them so they'd calm down."

Tela [Spellsword] 407825

>>407824
"Well yeah, robbing a bank usually involves innocents? Didn't you have a damn plan at all?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407826

>>407825
"We had a plan for getting into the Vault, not dealing with those panicking idiots.
And it was their fault anyway! We told them to fucking stay put but they wouldn't!"

Tela [Spellsword] 407827

>>407826
I spit on the ground
"So what, you just asked them nicely? What kind of amateur bullshit is that? Who the fuck was i charge?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407828

>>407827
"Hey, they didn't listen to fucking Light Heart! What do you think? We put them back in line after taking care of the guards."

Tela [Spellsword] 407829

>>407828
"Good job. Who the hell needs plans anyway, right?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407830

>>407829
"I told you, that lobby didn't fucking count! We planned on how to get into the money vault and deal with the golem, not how a few shitheads would start panicking!"

Tela [Spellsword] 407831

>>407830
"Well then don't act fucking surprised when some people get pissy about it!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407832

>>407831
"Their loss, really… They just needed to stay fucking put."

Tela [Spellsword] 407833

>>407832
"Yeah well sometimes things don't go the way you want in life. And now you've got blood on those little hooves of yours that you can't wash off and hide from the doc."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407834

>>407833
I snort.
"She knew that. Fuck, I earned my cutie mark with blood. Both of them. Not to mention the headhunter jobs."

Tela [Spellsword] 407835

>>407834
"Like I said, no one gives two shits about hunting bandits and cultists for bounties. It's when innocent blood gets spilled that ponies start an uproar."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407836

>>407835
"It's like you never took an assasination job."

Tela [Spellsword] 407837

>>407836
"Do I look like a goddamn assassin to you?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407838

>>407837
"It's just another name for somepony who is hired to kill another. So a bit."

Tela [Spellsword] 407839

>>407838
"Being an assassin is a lifestyle. I'm a merc and a bounty hunter, there's a difference."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407840

>>407839
"Merc, assassin, same thing when you snipe the head of somepony for money."

Tela [Spellsword] 407841

>>407840
"Assassins kill political targets, dumbass. I know you never had any education, but at least try and make sure you know what the fuck you are talking about."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407842

>>407841
"I did kill that one candidate for a major who wanted to be reelected."

Tela [Spellsword] 407843

>>407842
"Yeah well, I didn't. So don't call me a fucking assassin."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407844

>>407843
"You never killed for other reason than bounty? I'm sure you did. Y'know, remove somepony."

Tela [Spellsword] 407845

>>407844
"I'm a merc at heart, bounty is why I do this work. The reason why I ditched being a guard. I want to choose my jobs. If I don't like it, I'm not gonna take it no matter what the fucking pay. I killed criminals, animals, bandits, cultists, pirates, scoundrels, charlatans, guards, other mercs and shit, even other bounty hunters. All of these for various reasons."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407846

>>407845
I snicker.
"Bullshit, you did it for money. No variation there."

Tela [Spellsword] 407847

>>407846
"You don't know shit, Emmy. I had to kill out of self-defense as well. And to prove myself capable too. Hell, I even killed while in a drunken rage."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407848

>>407847
I shrug.
"I guess you are just as trigger happy as I am then."

Tela [Spellsword] 407849

>>407848
"Think about it whatever you want, cunt."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407850

>>407849
"Why? Just sayin'. We're not saints. Hell, I killed a guy who tried to grope me once."

Tela [Spellsword] 407851

>>407850
"Of course we're not saints. Which is exactly why the doc asked you to think about it you dumbass. You two are different. You've got different morals and shit."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407852

>>407851
"Yeah, but I already got those stun darts and shit! To try and avoid killing sometime!"

Tela [Spellsword] 407853

>>407852
"Well good. I don't kill when it's possible either."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407854

>>407853
"Yeah, so what else? I need to cry for that shithole city or what? Urgh, this bullshit sometimes…"

Tela [Spellsword] 407855

>>407854
"Don't be such a goddamn idiot. Good fucking god, like you have it so bad you little whiny brat."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407856

>>407855
"I'm not asking for much, really! But I can't even get that!"

407857

>>407856
I push her around a little, faking a pout and mimicking her voice
"I'm such a sad lil' filly! Ooooh, look at me in my fancy uniform stomping around like I own the place! I wonder how much cock I'll have to suck today to fill in my daily quota of jizz!"

Roll #1 3 = 3

Nopony 407858

>>407857
Perk my ears.
"What's that Tela? You want to be the plaything for the sailors? Oh well we can arrange that easily! Just hope they won't mind your gaping cunt!"

Tela [Spellsword] 407859

>>407858
"Pretty sure they can fit all their needy cocks in your loose cunt already, Emmy."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407860

>>407859
"You're one to talk, you are the one who slobbers over dicks all the time, not me! How many times have you whored yourself out for spare change, huh?"

Tela [Spellsword] 407975

>>407860
"Your little dyke act doesn't fool me, Emmy. I know you're lusting after cock. Just too afraid to admit it like the fucking slut you are."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407977

>>407975
I smirk.
"Just like you try to hide the fact you want mares by fulfilling a daily quota of a hundred dicks?"

Tela [Spellsword] 407980

>>407977
"Speak for yourself, you filthy rag."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407986

>>407980
I chuckle.
"Maybe that altar… hehe~"

Tela [Spellsword] 407991

>>407986
"Wut?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 407994

>>407991
"I'm sure you'd loooove that~"

Tela [Spellsword] 407997

>>407994
"What the fuck are you talking about?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408000

>>407997
Flutter close to her neck and speak lower near her ears.
"There was this altar back in Autumnsreach y'know…~"

Tela [Spellsword] 408001

>>408000
"No shit, there were probably a fucking million of the things."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408004

>>408001
"No no, this was special. It was down in that underwater temple. And it was magical."

Tela [Spellsword] 408007

>>408004
"Oh yeah?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408010

>>408007
"Yeah. Somepony touched it, there was a blast, and I noticed something…"
Smirk and whisper in her ear.
"I was a stallion for a while."

Tela [Spellsword] 408014

>>408010
"Riiiight. I thought I told you to stay away from magic fairy dust?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408016

>>408014
"I'm not even shitting you! Just ask Light Heart, or hell, even that idiot Curry can tell you it's true. It happened to them too."
Chuckle again.
"I bet you'd have jumped on me the moment I had a dick, wouldn't you?"

Tela [Spellsword] 408019

>>408016
I snort
"Keep on dreaming, ugly. I bet you'd have a tiny dick too while being a stallion."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408028

>>408019
Land on her back and flick her ass with my tail.
"Actually…"
Then start laughing.

Tela [Spellsword] 408030

>>408028
"What, three inches? Four?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408031

>>408030
"How the fuck am I supposed to know that, I wasn't turned on! It was strange as fuck."

Tela [Spellsword] 408033

>>408031
I smirk
"Riiiight, you like sucking cock, not actually having one yourself."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408035

>>408033
"Nah, I know something soooo much better. I could even show it on you."

Tela [Spellsword] 408036

>>408035
"Nah, I'm good. Who knows where that tongue of yours has been?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408040

>>408036
I snicker.
"You're right, I did smooch you once."

Tela [Spellsword] 408042

>>408040
I huff
"Out of fucking nowhere."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408046

>>408042
I snicker.
"I bet you liked it."

Tela [Spellsword] 408048

>>408046
"At least I got a good punch in on your ugly mug right after, you whore."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408051

>>408048
"You hesitated~"
Try not to break out into laughter.
'1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408052

>>408051
Okay I can just keep snickering.

Tela [Spellsword] 408054

>>408051
>>408052
I roll my eyes, annoyed at her laughter
"So how long before you turn back into an adult huh? I really wanna beat you right now, but it's hard to do while you look like a goddamn filly."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408058

>>408054
"Abilio's working on it already, but it might take a while. Well, I could turn back right away but we don't want to risk losing this mark."

408064

>>408058
"Right."
I bite her tail and lift her in the air, leaving her dangling helplessly

Roll #1 1 = 1

Tela [Spellsword] 408065

>>408064
Welp, looks like I can't reach and stumble, then fall over
"Fuck!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408068

>>408065
Flutter up and land on her ass triumphantly.
"You'll need to do better than going ass up face down to charm me, you slut."
Have a good laugh.

408072

>>408068
"Oh go fuck yourself!"
Get up and kick her away with my hindleg

Roll #1 4 = 4

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408075

>>408072
I have the tactical advantage of her being on the ground.
Jump up when she tries to buck and land again.
"You're pretty bad at this whole flirting thing, y'know."

408077

>>408075
I grumble and just glare at her.

Roll #1 4 = 4

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408078

>>408077
Smirk back.
"Okay, okay, I'll admit though, you are cute like this."

Tela [Spellsword] 408079

>>408078
"Get the fuck down here and I'll show you 'cute'."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408082

>>408079
"Aww, y'know I would, but we'd need to find someplace more private. What would Spring think?"
Try not to laugh too hard.
'1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

Tela [Spellsword] 408086

>>408082
"You want to go down to Spring, Emmy?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408088

>>408086
"Eh, I'm not in the mood to listen about my life decisions now."

408089

>>408088
"WELL TOO BAD! DODGE!"
Magic Bolt her!

Roll #1 5 = 5

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408091

>>408089
"What the fuck?!"
Fly out of the way!
'1d10'

Roll #1 3 = 3

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408095

>>408089
>>408091
Looks like that hit me.
Try to stand up after that while glaring daggers at her and holding where it connected.
"Are you out of your fucking mind?!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408099

>>408091
>>408092
I smirk
"Not so tough now, are we? That's for being an arrogant bitch earlier. Now come on-"
I pick her off of the ground and swing her on my back
"-Let's get that boo boo of yours healed, bitch."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408102

>>408099
I grumble.
"I should set you on fucking fire or shoot an ice cube straight up your ass for this…"

Tela [Spellsword] 408107

>>408102
"You fucking deserved it."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408108

>>408107
"A magic fucking bolt?! You use that to kill shit!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408110

>>408108
"See that's the difference between your gun and my magic. I can decide how much power I put behind my spells. You can't control those bullets of yours for shit. That spell I casted back there was weak as shit."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408112

>>408110
"It still hurt as fuck… You fucking cunt, if anypony else would have done this they would have already recieved a bullet or two back! So be fucking grateful!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408115

>>408112
"Cry me a river, you little baby. That's nothing compared to the shit I take in battle. Toughen up, you scrawny fuck."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408121

>>408115
"Exactly! We send your stupid ass forwards so I am safe! I'm not a fat fuck like you are, that's why I shoot any threats before they come close."
I stop.
"Wait a minute, I know."

Tela [Spellsword] 408124

>>408121
"Now what?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408126

>>408124
"Stop. Wait. We don't need the doc."

Tela [Spellsword] 408128

>>408126
"Oh great, did you have some kind of a revelation?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408129

>>408128
"No, I remembered. This magic bolt was painful, but nothing major. I can heal it myself."
Smirk, then flutter off from her back to make some distance.

Tela [Spellsword] 408135

>>408129
"I told you, I made it weak so you wouldn't have to cry so hard. Where the fuck are you going?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408136

>>408135
"I'm not going anywhere. I told you, Abilio taught me a few tips and tricks. I can heal it with your help."
Slowly place a hoof on my revolver.

408139

>>408136
… Protective Bubble
"Okay?"

Roll #1 10 = 10

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408141

>>408139
"See, at least I have the common fucking courtesy to give you time to prepare!"
Draw my gun, Earth Shot on Tela.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 2 + 2 = 4

Tela [Spellsword] 408142

>>408141
"Nicely done. What the fuck are you trying to achieve again?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408144

>>408142
Reload my gun.
"Wait, I messed that up, it didn't work. Magic, that's what!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408149

>>408144
"How the fuck does shooting me help?"
I snort
"Not that you're actually hitting me…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408151

>>408149
"Wait just a fucking second!"
Aim again, Earth Shot.
'1d10+2'

Roll #1 10 + 2 = 12

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408153

>>408151
That's more like it.
As soon as it hits the bruise not only heals but I feel invigorated too.
Shake my mane slightly with a cocky smirk.
"Yeah, that's it!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408156

>>408153
"What the fuck just happened?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408159

>>408156
Reload my gun and holster it, still smirking.
"I told you I learned a few tricks, didn't I?"

Tela [Spellsword] 408163

>>408159
"Well aren't you just a special little fucking pony. Congrats."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408166

>>408163
"Go fuck yourself if you can't be happy for a friend!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408169

>>408166
"I congratulated you, didn't I?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408172

>>408169
"It didn't sound very honest!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408174

>>408172
"Well come down here so I can give you a pat on the back."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408177

>>408174
Flutter next to her and do a cute little filly pose.
"Did I do good, Tela?~"

Tela [Spellsword] 408188

>>408177
I pat her on the head forcibly with a hoof
"You're a fucking miracle child."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408194

>>408188
I smirk.
"And this is just the beggining! Both Abilio and his mare promised to teach me even more magic!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408197

>>408194
"His mare?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408201

>>408197
"Y'know. The blind one."

Tela [Spellsword] 408202

>>408201
"Uh…"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408208

>>408202
Roll my eyes.
"Yeah, don't try to think too hard about it. She's pretty shy. No wonder you have no idea."

Tela [Spellsword] 408210

>>408208
"I just haven't fucking met her, okay?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408213

>>408210
"And I told you why you didn't meet her!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408218

>>408213
"Yeah okay, okay!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408223

>>408218
I snicker and tap my uniform.
"By the way, the magic of this thing was so powerful that even she was afraid of it… and she couldn't even see it."

Tela [Spellsword] 408225

>>408223
I roll my eyes
"Yeah, you're the horror of the seven seas."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408233

>>408225
I frown.
"I feel like you are mocking me."

Tela [Spellsword] 408238

>>408233
"Oh come the fuck on, are you gonna start crying on me because I'm a big ol' meanie?"
I grab her and give her a noogie
"You know you're important to me, don't you?"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408244

>>408238
I wince at the noogie but smile.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'd be probably dead by now if it wasn't for you."

Tela [Spellsword] 408248

>>408244
"And then I'd have to look stylish in battle all on my own. And I wouldn't have a punching bag as you anymore! Fucking awful!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408253

>>408248
"I still remember the look on your face when that dagger was-"
Motion with my forehooves.
"this close to your neck before I shot that fucker. So maybe you did the right thing making me a partner, huh?"

Tela [Spellsword] 408261

>>408253
"I guess you're alright for a rookie, yeah."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408263

>>408261
Fake a pout.
"Just 'alright'?"

Tela [Spellsword] 408270

>>408263
"Well you're still not the brightest of the bunch, but I guess that can't be helped. Aside from that, you're a good enough shot."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408274

>>408270
"I'm more clever than you are!"

Tela [Spellsword] 408278

>>408274
"You didn't even go to fucking school, dumbass. I bet you can't even calculate simple sums!"

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408282

>>408278
I look genuinly hurt at her for a few seconds, before snorting.
"I learned what I needed. And how the fuck could I not know how to count if I handle all that money, you fucktard?"

Tela [Spellsword] 408284

>>408282
"Because I taught you! And fucking quit that moping shit! The doc's really starting to rub off on you."

Emrille [Gunslinger] 408291

>>408284
"I knew how to count and write and shit, I was just a bit rusty at it!"
Sigh.
"Yeah, well I've been thinking of the past in the last few weeks more than in the last few years."
