>>83710"I was just making observation. I am not looking to get in between you and Star, or hurt him in that way."
>>83711"I guess that is an option. Maybe the room where Silver was in, just to be sure." Iron checks his surroundings, just to insure that they are at the bar still.
Wait a minute, just because he's not home doesn't mean nopony else will be. This plan was flawed from the start.>>83683Sister Ash walks up to Dark Star.
".. Can I ask.. Why exactly did you want to come at this hour?"
>>83713She giggles
“There is nothing for Star to object to. You are fine. A mare doesn’t need to cover herself from muzzle to hoof to prevent others from laying eye on her just because a stallion likes her”
>>83714Sure
>>83717He chuckles. "If you say so. I am not so sure Star agrees, however."
>>83717Iron approaches Silver. "Hey, do you mind storing my armor and shield in your room for the time being?"
>>83719He looks at Iron with an odd expression. "I...suppose it is fine? It should be unlocked."
>>83723Iron does not understand his expression. "What? Are you hiding something that you want no one to see or something?" He shakes his head, then enters Silver's room.
>>83720Iron gestures Ash to help him take off his armor on Silver's room.
>>83715"he is out of the house, he's at a meeting right now."
>>83726Sister Ash excuses herself to assist Iron.
>>83717>>83718>>83713im gonna say dark star doesnt hear any of this.
>>83727"His house wouldnt be left unattended.. wouldn't it be better to go while he we're still there?"
>>83726There's nothing really of particular note in his room. It smells a bit like cigarettes, and his equipment is sitting at the foot of his bed, but there's nothing that would suggest that Silver's trying to hide something.
>>83728>>83733Iron, with the help of Ash, strips off all his armor pieces. "Thanks Ash." He then places all armor pieces at the side of the bed as well as his shield. He then goes back to the group.
>>83718“Don’t be silly. Dark Star understands”
>>83727“He
does have a wife and kids. We told him their would be press at the meeting tonight, so he should have taken them for the photo op”
>>83731"No, he could potentially hide any evidence. or if hes in the middle of hurting a foal and we show up,well.... it wouldnt end very pretty."
>>83735"Well, you certainly seem more suited for stealth, now."
>>83736Silver isn't so sure about this, but he stays quiet.
>>83738Iron whispers to Silver. "Eh, if it makes you feel better, she would totally let you watch her get railed by Star." He snickers.
>>83734Sister Ash is only looking for the foal. She really isn't that concerned with what happens to the stallion.Also, since his house would be gaurded, it'd probably be just as easy to break into while he were there.>>83735This takes a while (at least 4 minutes).
They have a while to talk.
>>83737Sister Ash has left to take off Iron's armor.
>>83740Well, let's rewind."Are you sure about going with us, Ash? You do not seem up for it."
>>83739Silver pretends to have not heard this, even despite the sudden redness in his face.
>>83741Sister Ash seems Abit nervous as she wrestles with the lock-pieces without trying to touch the haram armor.
".. I just think it feels wrong to break in unannounced like this.. but I guess there are necessities.."
>>83743"Oh, then you do not have to worry. For justice to pervail, we must sacrifce the order of the land sometimes." Iron strokes Ash's mane. "That does not mean we are not doing the right thing."
>>83738>>83742*confused pony noises*
>>83743“We don’t have enough evidence for a search warrant”
>>83744Blue Skies looks at Iron with distaste
“For
order to prevail we must sacrifice justice[/i]”
>>83745She's in the room? Oh.
Sister Ash seems a bit conflicted
>>83744But she seems a bit more convicted by what Iron says
"A pony.. should only break a law when that pony is convinced that that law is unjust.. I came here making a promise to myself that I would learn to follow Equestrian customs..."
Then she looks up from the metal
"But if reason to break a law is just, or the law itself is unjust, then a pony should be proud to break it, with all readiness to accept the consequences.."
>>83746Fug order
>>83707"Hey Spark Do you have any cigarettes?"
>>83746"Oh hello, coming to peep my muscles, Skies?" Iron smirks.
>>83747He turns to Ash. "I am glad you understand."
>>83748"I did not know you smoked, Star."
>>83748"Sorry. I don't smoke. I don't think I could pull off that look."
>>83752Silver raises an eyebrow at him. "You sure? It is not best of habits to get into."
>>83747“I’ll bail you out in the morning”
>>83749“I’m only here because communication prior to an important mission is, well, very important. Are you here only to show off muscles or do you have a job to do?”
>>83748Blue Skies has a look of mild disgust
“The party has shown that smoking can have negative effects on health. Besides, it can make your mouth taste bad”
>>83754Don’t be a Fascist. Let him smoke >>83755>Don't be a fascist.I'm a hippie in game. I'm a fascist irl.
>>83757Roll Fortitude for lung cancer.
>>83755"Oh sorry, I did not mean to interrupt valuable communication time." Iron raises one of his forelegs and puts it on his forehead dramatically, then just casually waves off Skies' reason. "I will just speak to Star about it."
>>83757Smoking is really fucking cool. Like, at times I want all of my NPCs to smoke>>83759“You know that if you piss me off I can have you arrested on your way back”
>>83755Silver thinks on it a little, before shrugging it off. "Eh. It has not killed me yet."
>>83758I mean, if you were going to make anybody roll Fortitude for lung cancer, it would probably be the only smoker in the party. >>83761Iron shrugs. "Alright, I will be a nice earth pony. Just do not try to impose your rules on me. I will follow your orders though."
>>83747Iron looks at Ash's progress. "How long until the armor comes off?"
>>83766Like. Why the fuck did you roll?
>>83766Have you not learned that when you have a choice to roll, you don't take it?
>>83765Judging by the conversation, Sister Ash is only two minutes in. She's gotten most of the lower-leg pieces
"This stuff isn't easy to handle.." she groans frustrated, jostling the joint-straps with her horn
>>83771Leave your out of character opinions out of game. If you have something to say in character, say it in character. Now stop being a fun sucking fag and let the other players make their character choices
>>83770"Do not fret. I am asking in case a certain someone may try to knock me out while you are doing that, and I do not want to fall on you." Iron strokes Ash's mane with his unarmored hoof.
>>83775*stands close*
>>83779If I wanted to listen to moral preaching I’d watch a Gillette ad. We’re here for roleplay
>>83780Iron is not surprised. "I suppose we will not be discussing on important matters, are we?"
>>83781“Of course we are. Tell me, what is your plan?”
>>83783Iron cocks his head. "Plan? What plan? Was I supposed to plan something for this mission?"
>>83784Sister Ash similarly tilts her head like a clock, no longer really sure what to do since burglary was brought up.
>>83784>>83785"Obviously you intend to do something. What is it, and how do you intend to do it?"
>>83786Iron is still confused. "You might want to clarify what you mean, because I still do not understand."
>>83782"Do you have a plan of action?"
>>83786"... Well.. if you really want to know.. I was hoping I would catch him as he was leaving his home..." She says, a but sheepishly
>>83788"well, i thought we would sneak in."
>>83789"If you wanted to do that tonight, you'd have to leave in a taxi. Now"
>>83790"And just look around? Alright"
>>83791"and photo anything we find."
>>83789"if you want to do that go, well be along shortly."
>>83790>>83789>>83791"Well, if there is somepony in there, we can always interrogate if they know where the foal is. Anypony is applicable as long as they have a connection with the house itself." Iron scratches his chin. "But it seems it will be completely empty by what you said, Skies."
>>83793"Do you think you could cause a distraction while we sneak in?"
[Waiting Fighter Horse Noises]
>>83794"It is going to be very loud, but sure I can, if Skies' reactions to my quips is any indication."
>>83791Sister Ash seems a bit more nervous
"W-well.. I hadn't actually planned to move today, but, judging by what I've heard today, the situation may be a bit more dire than I previously thought."
She takes a note out of her fanny pack
".. I only wanted a moment with him.. to ask 'Have you seen this foal?' "
>>83792"Perhaps I should then.."
>>83793"Well, yes. Just remember that breaking into a pony's house and physically restraining them is kidnapping, which may not be a terrible idea, but neither should it be done without regard for the consequences"
>>83797"If you want to call the whole thing off until tomorrow, then convince the others. Be advised that Dark Star is right. It could spook him"
>>83795She pets him
>>83799>>83798>>83797"I agree. The fact that he bought the foal through a gang is enough proof that he will panic if shown that foal."
>She pets him"No need to go so physical with Silver there. You have Star for that." Iron snickers.
>>83799One of his hindlegs starts to tap against the ground. He smiles contently. "Mmmh...that is nice..."
>>83798".. Well.. that's really the point.." she says, meekly
".. If he recoils, then, in that moment, I'll know he's really hiding that foal.. And then I'll know for sure what I need to do.."
>>83802Iron ponders. "The problem is that panicky folk will do drastic things to keep the secrets so. He may harm the foal if you just come up and show him the picture. You are better off tying him up before asking that to ensure he does not do any drastic things."
>>83802"Then it sounds to me like you want to meet him
tonight"
>>83801"You'll be okay"
>>83803"That's a felony. He can call the police, they will shoot you with anti-tank rifles, and
he will be the victim"
>>83802>>83803"iron is right in this particular instance."
I feel like I'm stalling.
I really need to go to bed soon, because I have to get up early tomorrow.
>>83805"Iron is wrong. If we actually knew for an absolute fact that this guy was evil, we would just have the police raid his home. We don't, because we don't know that"
>>83804He nods, enjoying the petting.
>>83805"In my experience? It is best we keep this quiet. We go in while nopony is home, we do quick search for evidence, we get out without anypony knowing we were there."
>>83807>>83804Iron shrugs. "Well, if we are going the 'ask directly' route, then we should not let him go afterwards. That was not the plan, though. It was a break and enter for any physical evidence, as you have hinted already Skies."
>>83806I'm sorry, but I really do have to sleep now..
Goodnight, guys.
