[FWM] OOC 3: Eccentric Cheerilee

[TheAmishPirate]

"Well. So much for my pancake solution," Silverpine said with a grimace. "Unfortunately, the Cirrus doesn't really stock blood for this type of situation."

A random thought, but wouldn't the med bay have blood on hoof for emergency transfusions?

[Grif]

Perhaps. But silly colt wasn't thinking of the medbay yet.

(Personally, I think a flying ship wouldn't carry blood offhoof, since blood as a product is extremely hard to keep and has a shelf-life to boot. Not using that blood would mean it would go to waste eventually.)

[Mindfreak]

Hey Orzel, could you have Hover wake up Blaze and force him to start helping?

[Benson]

mmm, would one say that the Cirrus has a furnace?

Hmm, but think about this: Why not have the crew donate blood for themselves? They spend a lot of time traveling, and in their line of work transfusions may be a semi-common medical emergency. If they only donate one at a time, and only when they're in safe areas, they could hypothetically keep a small stock of their own blood on hoof, just in case.

[Orzel]

Since it is a flying ship, wouldn't they fly the injured to the nearest hospital. The medbay would be more for recovery, rehab, and first aid.

My thoughts exactly. Plus, though this may not apply to MLP, collecting and storing blood requires pretty specialised (and sterile) equipment, both of which are not likely to be found on such an airship.

[TheAmishPirate]

Curses, foiled by logic and facts!

My old nemesis!

Fair enough then, carry on.

[TheAmishPirate]

"Him?" Silverpine repeated. Then it all clicked. "Hold on a minute," he said, holding up his good forehoof. "Back up. Are you saying that you are older than that bastard, Spectre... Wait, are you the one who originally turned him?"

*grabs popcorn*

I don't think Silverpine is correct in his assumption, but either way, this is gonna be good.

[Grif]

Well.

That turned out well.

[Benson]

I think it went quite well.

@Kelvin: Two questions for you:

1) Will Daniel or Taylor be responding to anything else in the Medbay?

2) I haven't checked back int the alley for a while, seeing how I've been busy, but have you edited your griffon's actions to your liking? I was holding off on the guards until I was sure you were set.

[Kelvin360]

1. They're kind of fallback stooges for Rainbow. If she epic fails, there they are, but until someone else shows up or that happens, they're kind of just...there.

2. You know, I meant to, but then I forgot. Updating now.

[TheAmishPirate]

Er, guys? Night Jewel is on the next day, the crew is still on the evening.

[PurityIcekiller]

...I really wish you'd clarified when the timeline would resynch.

[Grif]

Er, guys? Night Jewel is on the next day, the crew is still on the evening.

Goddamn these timey-wimey shenanigans.

You never saw a ninja-edit here, citizen.

[TheAmishPirate]

...I really wish you'd clarified when the timeline would resynch.

In all fairness, I answered this a while ago:

Almost! We just need to get folks wrapped up at the Cirrus, then I wager most of the ponies there will be sleeping into the afternoon. I.E. right around when Night Jewel gets bored enough to start wondering if she could break into the ship or not.

I'm sorry I don't have a concrete answer on when the timeline will re-synch, and I've been rather busy lately with schoolwork and life, such that I haven't been able to sort this out definitively. Please bear with us a while longer.

@Benson: Is there any way we can accelerate back to the normal timeline soon-ish? Even if it means putting off a few issues/conversations for a few in-game hours?

[Grif]

The Miss M, Silverpine and assorted civvie vamponies scene can be time-skipped a little.

[MCerberus]

In a theoretical timeskip, Staccata would likely be mysteriously gone in the morning without talking to anypony unless being directly observed through the night.

[Kelvin360]

She might have to sneak past Taylor in the process, but that's no big deal. She's not critical enough for him to refuse to discharge her if she wants to leave, so just talking to him would work.

[TheAmishPirate]

Sandy will likely end up spending the night in the med-bay, one way or another. His mental state does depend a bit on how Rainbow handles the situation, but this isn't the sort of thing that'll take one good Diplomacy check, as it were.

[Grif]

In a theoretical timeskip, Staccata would likely be mysteriously gone in the morning without talking to anypony unless being directly observed through the night.

In such a theoretical scenario, is this the time where Tyrol finds Staccata mysteriously reappearing in the shared hotel room again?

Just how worried would he be with the whole Vampony thing then disappearing and she's still not supposed to leave town due to the assassin thing?

[Benson]

I just feel plum confused about all the timey wimey stuff now, like derp eyed, I have no answer for nothing confused.


What does everyone want? Is there a group consensus on wanting to just call it a day?

Night Jewel is on Current Time.

The rest of the folks on the Cirrus are on the early morning of Current Time.

I think we're just figuring out what still needs to be taken care of before we can call it a day. So far, we've got:

1) Sandy and Rainbow's scene in the med-bay.
2) Silverpine dealing with the civvie vamps.
3) Staccata sneaking off sometime in the night.

Everything else, in my opinion, can be delayed for the sake of catching up to normal time, unless I'm forgetting something.

[Grif]

Just how worried would he be with the whole Vampony thing then disappearing and she's still not supposed to leave town due to the assassin thing?

Well, he is kinda used to Staccata disappearing without him knowing. Or rather, resigned to the fact he can't keep tabs on her all the time.

I think we can agree to fast-forwarding to something less draggy.

Speaking of which, who are we waiting for in the alley again?

[TheAmishPirate]

Speaking of which, who are we waiting for in the alley again?

That'd be me. I'm getting a post in later today. I apologize for the delay, was up until 3 AM working, and still didn't get all my work done.

[Kelvin360]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I'm waiting on:

Mindfreak/Grif in the school (unless it's my turn and I forgot)

Benson/Luka/Grif in the Hospital (unless it's my turn and I forgot, though until all the chunks are gone Dawnstrider will be doing what he's doing again and again anyways)

[Grif]

Benson/Luka/Grif in the Hospital (unless it's my turn and I forgot, though until all the chunks are gone Dawnstrider will be doing what he's doing again and again anyways)

For the hospital, I'm waiting somewhat on Luka/Violet before proceeding. As for school, it's definitely your turn.

[Luka]

I was kinda waiting if anyone was gonna respond to my latest post, ok then
Also waiting on Phex in the alley part.
