[FWM] As Equestria Turns:MLP Without the Kiddy Thread XI

[Orzel]

Because Lochbed took so long, Aubade had to resort to the rough textured paper towels here in the kitchen. A wastebasket sat next to Ember filled with red soaked paper towels. Ember himself was just coming off as silly, possibly a way to recover from saucy thoughts.

Lochbed comes back with both hooves near mouth. "Is Ember gonna die? Och no."

[Benson]

Lochbed comes back with both hooves near mouth. "Is Ember gonna die? Och no."

"No, he'll be fine, he was probably just thinking naughty thoughts," Aubade said nonchalantly wiping away the rest of the blood and tossing away the towel. Ember blushed hard and stood up immediately.

"I...I..wasn't..I swear," He protested and wondered how she knew. Aubade just smirked and softly chuckled.

[Grif]

He raises his head after eating a good chunk of the oats
"I hope we do meet again, you're the nicest and cutest mare I've ever meet...."
He just gives out a sincere-looking smile after saying that, he's still noticeably sleepy, overriding his blush button and making it more credible

(Right, better wrap this up.)

Snowflake felt the skin on her cheeks growing warm. Was the nurse right? This colt was obviously enjoying her company though... She shifted awkwardly and looked away, trying to hide her blush. "Uh... that's nice. I'm sure we'll meet some day again."

[Orzel]

"No, he'll be fine, he was probably just thinking naughty thoughts," Aubade said nonchalantly wiping away the rest of the blood and tossing away the towel. Ember blushed hard and stood up immediately.

"I...I..wasn't..I swear," He protested and wondered how she knew. Aubade just smirked and softly chuckled.

"Och really? What was he thinking about before that explosion of bleeding? Och yes. Me modelling. So what was Ah wearing? A fish? A sexy fish?" asked the loony fae.

[Benson]

"Och really? What was he thinking about before that explosion of bleeding? Och yes. Me modelling. So what was Ah wearing? A fish? A sexy fish?" asked the loony fae.

"What?..." Ember croaked. "Anyways, its nothin', I just.......hai......sooo, yea, that was some good quiche." Way to subtly change the subject.

[Kelvin360]

(Carried on from the Misc. adventured thread, since this part is definitely here-worthy.)

Fortunately for Grills, Arvadraa's a little too deep in thought to hear whatever he's rambling as she takes him to the hospital.

"Um. He kind of went crazy. I told him that the fumes had a hallucinogenic effect, but no! He insisted on cleaning that section anyways. I swear, sometimes he's helpful to a fault. Hopefully a little bedrest will clear him up.

I need to take care of the mess back home, but I'll be back soon." She smiles at the receptionist charmingly, a rather odd sight given that A) she looks wholly inexperienced at it and B) she's covered in bruises and bandages. She tries to fly off before too many questions come her way, though.

Whether she succeeds or not is the coin toss...

[Orzel]

"What?..." Ember croaked. "Anyways, its nothin', I just.......hai......sooo, yea, that was some good quiche." Way to subtly change the subject.

"Och yeah. I will have to "

"But baby! Ican change! That other mare means nothing to me!" he crazy pleaded.

[Mindfreak]

Aero Aero was hit by Mile's adorable attack! It was super effective! "Alright...I'll stay. Can't leave a kiddo without a friend, now can I?" he said, smiling at Mile.
Blaze Blaze practically zips out of bed. "Why didn't you tell me sooner!?" He asked, hurridly slipping into his uniform 'cause Sandy was missing!

[Benson]

"Och yeah. I will have to "

"Have to what?" Was asked.

[Orzel]

"Have to what?" Was asked.

(Curse you Evil copypasta gnomes)
"Ah will have to... what is that shiny thing." Lochbed was distracted by some sort of bauble. It is shaped like a fruit of sort sort. "Before Ah before a model. Ah will be cooker type person."

[Benson]

"Errrr, uh...right, well, I'm sure Aubade will be a great teacher for cooking," Ember said collecting himself.

"Thank you sir," She said quietly with a little of the head. "Well, its not quite the afternoon, but we can make orange juice breakfast smoothies."

[Luka]

Aero Aero was hit by Mile's adorable attack! It was super effective! "Alright...I'll stay. Can't leave a kiddo without a friend, now can I?" he said, smiling at Mile.

His face instantly turned into that of extreme happiness and then buried it into his shoulder really fast, alongside an EXTREMELY tight hug.
"THANK YOU! thankyouthankyouthankyou! Thank youuu!!"

(Right, better wrap this up.)

Snowflake felt the skin on her cheeks growing warm. Was the nurse right? This colt was obviously enjoying her company though... She shifted awkwardly and looked away, trying to hide her blush. "Uh... that's nice. I'm sure we'll meet some day again."

So he ends his oats and raises his head at the same speed he lowered it, not as sleepy as before now....He just realises what he just said.
"wait what did I just...? instant wide eyes "....oh"
Then He blushes.....A lot
"....I...I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to be indiscrete! I-I mean....What I said.... HOW I said....I mean, It was true but....Please don't hate me..." He's just then rubbing his head and feeling EXTREMELY awkward.

"Dammit, I told them this wasn't some farm cottage. Do they listen to me, nooo. So much for damned tactical advisory. Alright listen. Your mission's been compromised. Get back and tell Lord Doth the information yourself. Whitestone just got sprung and is on the way, but unless you want to spend the rest of your life behind bars in this peice-of-manure town, you get your plot in gear.

As for me, I have fires to set that you really have no clearance to know about. So move."

Ironblade then gets off the bed
"Alright.....Just...Need to pick up my gear and my armor for showing the kind of mess that blacksmith just made....You got a kinda strange armor, they made a new one already? it's almost unrecognizable from that "shimmerite" already, heh"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Valley

Doth's just having a nice time chillin' (read as intimidating his own soldiers by pure darksomeness) and reading some reports: including one about 10 groups of wanderers found, Shimmerite mining going 4 times faster (including reversed porality of it) and mixed results on experiments made on the filly they found that appears won't stop angsting, and since he's powered by negative stuff, he doesn't really care.
Kind of a nice time for John to appear and remind him of his lack of superiority

[Kelvin360]

Ironblade then gets off the bed
"Alright.....Just...Need to pick up my gear and my armor for showing the kind of mess that blacksmith just made....You got a kinda strange armor, they made a new one already? it's almost unrecognizable from that "shimmerite" already, heh"

"Well they need somepony to test out the prototypes. You get what you need, but quickly." He walks out to the lobby (stepping over Grills on the way), and leans forward towards the receptionist, whispering.

"There isn't much time to explain, but the pony about to walk out here needs to be let go. Official Canterlot Internal Affairs business, and possibly the only way to save this town."

[Orzel]

"Errrr, uh...right, well, I'm sure Aubade will be a great teacher for cooking," Ember said collecting himself.

"Thank you sir," She said quietly with a little of the head. "Well, its not quite the afternoon, but we can make orange juice breakfast smoothies."

"Can we friends really? It is not impossible correct?" asked the fae shaped like a female pony.

[Mindfreak]

His face instantly turned into that of extreme happiness and then buried it into his shoulder really fast, alongside an EXTREMELY tight hug.

Aero
Aero suffers more damage because of adorableness!
HNNNG
"GAH. ADORABLE PAIN!"
But he gives him a hug back, and ruffles his mane for good measure.

Valley
Completely unknown by Doth right now, the shadowed form of John appears behind him, sitting on something.
"Dumbass says what?"

[Benson]

"Can we friends really? It is not impossible correct?" asked the fae shaped like a female pony.

"We can make some smoothies, yes," Aubade said simply.

[Luka]

"Well they need somepony to test out the prototypes. You get what you need, but quickly." He walks out to the lobby (stepping over Grills on the way), and leans forward towards the receptionist, whispering.

"There isn't much time to explain, but the pony about to walk out here needs to be let go. Official Canterlot Internal Affairs business, and possibly the only way to save this town."

The receptionist would just stay still for a while and nod. So then Ironblade walks out of the Clinic and to the West Gate, he's got his sword sheathed, his chain mail folded and his shield inside the folded mail, along a metal plate, the guards wouldn't recognize him since he's not wearing his armor (which covered him).

Aero

HNNNG
"GAH. ADORABLE PAIN!"
But he gives him a hug back, and ruffles his mane for good measure.

So then Aisis wakes up for a while, witnesses the whole hug scene, smiles and goes back to sleep.

And after a while of hugging, Mile looks up at him still with his Happy Colt face that could be comparable to a anime boy "You're new to the town too? we could look around together! what about breakfast?"
He tilts his head... Yeah he's a happy colt now

Valley
Completely unknown by Doth right now, the shadowed form of John appears behind him, sitting on something.
"Dumbass says what?"

It surprised him and he just stood up fast, drawing his....Well, pretty long spiky sword with green and red arcs, then lowers it after noticing it's his superior.
"Ironic.... being a dumbass and making you get what you want
He just telekineticaly picks up one of the reports from his table
"I guess quadrupling gloomium production is easy then, Especially from a metal that seems to attack the miners with light magic. At this rate, the entire army should be wielding magical armor in less than a week, and that without needing to control magic"

[Orzel]

"We can make some smoothies, yes," Aubade said simply.

So Lochbed LIFTED Awbade off the ground and into the kitchen. "Teach me how to smoothie so Ember will like me more."

[Mindfreak]

Aero "Sure! We should go check out the town, find a place to get something to eat."

---

Valley
"Wrong. You didn't get me what I wanted. Those ponies that escaped got to Bridle Shores, and your assassins were seen. They were supposed to kill the ponies before they got to Bridle Shores. Now their story is going to get out, probably to Luna. That's why you're a dumbass."

[Kelvin360]

The receptionist would just stay still for a while and nod. So then Ironblade walks out of the Clinic and to the West Gate, he's got his sword sheathed, his chain mail folded and his shield inside the folded mail, along a metal plate, the guards wouldn't recognize him since he's not wearing his armor (which covered him).

Zaros, for his part, waits a few minutes so Ironblade can get a head start, and then does the dumbest possible thing he could do.

He follows him.

[Benson]

So Lochbed LIFTED Awbade off the ground and into the kitchen. "Teach me how to smoothie so Ember will like me more."

Well, they already were in the kitchen, but I suppose they could have been in the parlor, a wizard did it.

'Very well, Miss Lochbed, what with that noble reason," It was hard to tell if she was being serious or not, but to Lochbed it was probably serious. :P "First we get the blender, which is under the cupboard, if you could retrieve that."

[Luka]

Aero "Sure! We should go check out the town, find a place to get something to eat."

(sorry, forgot they were actually in a clinic , so making a new fitting response)

So then they are already starting to walk out, but then the nurse on-call appears with their breakfast already, pancakes and milk, just before pointing out "You should be resting "

Valley
"Wrong. You didn't get me what I wanted. Those ponies that escaped got to Bridle Shores, and your assassins were seen. They were supposed to kill the ponies before they got to Bridle Shores. Now their story is going to get out, probably to Luna. That's why you're a dumbass."

"..."
And so did Doth get his first angry moment
He just stands there, and John could feel him getting mad, just in a cold way, also his power risen because of it (raises cuz of any negativeness)
"...Shouldn't have sent the first pony with gloomium armor I've seen"
That flaws just makes him get even MORE mad, and his power rise too, unacceptable for his desire of superiority
"Looks like those survivors aren't just villagers then...I believe I'll send the elite ones then...Those 2 seem to be incompetent to rely on for taking on some survivors, even with advantage"

Zaros, for his part, waits a few minutes so Ironblade can get a head start, and then does the dumbest possible thing he could do.

He follows him.

He goes normaly on the road to the west, but then, he walks out of the road, Zaros would see him go into a small group of boulders, then step into the center of it, and make some rune appear on the floor, he's suddenly covered by a purple sphere, then the sphere becomes solid, shrinks into a tiny ball size and flies at ludicrous speed towards the west, like a kind Transfer rune.

[Orzel]

Aero
Blaze Blaze practically zips out of bed. "Why didn't you tell me sooner!?" He asked, hurridly slipping into his uniform 'cause Sandy was missing!

"Okat's the large clothing cabinet on the left side of my room. I need it on the right." explains Hover, not even thinking about Sandy's wellbeing. He always makes it out alive.

Well, they already were in the kitchen, but I suppose they could have been in the parlor, a wizard did it.

'Very well, Miss Lochbed, what with that noble reason," It was hard to tell if she was being serious or not, but to Lochbed it was probably serious. :P "First we get the blender, which is under the cupboard, if you could retrieve that."

"Hooray! Let me retrieve it." Lochbed ducks into the cupboard. She reemerged with a frying pan in one hoof, a scimatar in the other hoof, and a live duck in her mouth. "Whap's pa bwendwah?"

[Kelvin360]

And then he runs. All the way back into town, through the gate, and to the Guard Barracks, comically crashing through the front door and skidding to a halt.

"I don't suppose I could borrow a security detail?"

[Benson]

"Hooray! Let me retrieve it." Lochbed ducks into the cupboard. She reemerged with a frying pan in one hoof, a scimatar in the other hoof, and a live duck in her mouth. "Whap's pa bwendwah?"

Aubade grimaced for a moment before putting on her neutral expression. "Well, 'tis none of those. But future reference..." She walked over to lower cupboard and pulled out a blender between her teeth and placed it on the counter. "That is a blender. Anyways, if you could get the milk for me Miss Lochbed, its in the refrigerator."

[Orzel]

Aubade grimaced for a moment before putting on her neutral expression. "Well, 'tis none of those. But future reference..." She walked over to lower cupboard and pulled out a blender between her teeth and placed it on the counter. "That is a blender. Anyways, if you could get the milk for me Miss Lochbed, its in the refrigerator."

Lochbed spitted out the duck, who promptly quacked his annoyance and waddled out the room. The kelpie hopped to the side and carefully obtained the milk jug with her hooves. "Got it!"

[Benson]

Lochbed spitted out the duck, who promptly quacked his annoyance and waddled out the room. The kelpie hopped to the side and carefully obtained the milk jug with her hooves. "Got it!"

"Alright, thank you, please place it next to the blender on the counter," She gestured to the counter. "Next, we'll need some fruit, we're going to have a strawberry-banana smoothie." She directed her to where the fruits were at.

[Mindfreak]

Aero "Nah. With the doc who worked on me, I was actually good to go after she patched me up. And I'm sick of hospital food. I want something covered in grease, and probably a nice ice cream cone, and I'm bringing this foal with me." He tries to shove Mile out the door and rush out with him! "Bye now!"
John John thought. "Very well, send your most elite troops out to kill them. But I want to talk to them in private first. As for this operation...get some illusions and wards up. That way if Luna sends scouts, they'll see nothing."
Blaze Blaze frowns. "That can wait. Sandy's missing, and that can't be good!"

[Orzel]

"Alright, thank you, please place it next to the blender on the counter," She gestured to the counter. "Next, we'll need some fruit, we're going to have a strawberry-banana smoothie." She directed her to where the fruits were at.

The kelpie follows instructions and fetches the fruit: bananas, strawberries, pears, kumquats, coconuts, and tamarinds. "Got the fruit."

Blaze Blaze frowns. "That can wait. Sandy's missing, and that can't be good!"

Don't worry Gearstride is hoofling things. Silver and Rain-Rain went too." Hover drapes her hooves around Blaze. "Don't leave me."

[HalfTangible]

He could feel a little churning in his gut, but when you spend your days inhaling Luna knows what in a cramped engine room, you learn not let a little belly ache get you down. The water seemed to already be doing the trick. He got himself up to a sitting position, still a little shaky from the memory rewind. "Thanks, Doc. How much we owe you for all this?"

Fourty bits and a recommendation. She replied, trotting back to her couch. Is there anything else you need?
