Okay, so everyone right now is probably wondering 'What in the sam everloving pony hell just happened'. I'll do my best to explain.
Aurora is the name of Taylor's old sword, which he and Starbeam peiced together from fragments of his soul and ludicrous amounts of light magic that he provided. It's essentially a weaker Holy Avenger: Sun Edition.
However, it has prerequisites:
1) The wielder must be pure of heart, pure of action, and pure of mind. (You gotta be good, you can't use it to do anything but good and it works best when protecting others, and you have to be at least a little serene).
2) Taylor has to give you complete mental permission and utter a phrase. (It's a peice of his soul, so yeah.)
3) Since it relies on Taylor's life force and the wielder's, it can virtually only be used once per day, and takes a VERY heavy toll on both whoever uses it and Taylor himself. (This is usually just fatigue, hunger, or even unconsciousness depending on whether it's just a few slices or that nuke effect there, which is basically taking the sword's energy and expanding it outward)
So, it's less a superweapon and more a one-shot bomb. Hope that pre-emptively cleared any questions on the subject.

So...the RP's slower than I'm accustomed to today
That's a first.
Aye, Orzel and Benson both have their own computer/hurricane woes going on, so it's not too surprising that things are a mite slow at the moment.
Think we'll definitely need Blaze's wedding to lighten the mood some after the vampony shenanigans are done. I shudder to think what sort of terrible bachelor party Silverpine and DepressedSandy will conceive.

You're assuming that Silverpine will come out of this emotionally unscarred.

There can only be one logical response to those photos.
Squee!

Just to confirm: Is Daniel giving Sandy any sort of Willpower assistance to overcome the drugs? Or is he telling him, "Control yourself, and if you fail, then sleep?"
For the record, I question the judgement of sidelining one of the better melee fighters right now, injuries or not, but I can totally see where Daniel's coming from here. Keep Sandy down before he hurts himself severely. That, and it's a rather poignant parallel to the vampony he's arguing with.
*Daniel receives +2 bro points*

It's split two ways - helping to break the super-rage, and if that fails, the other half comes in for a sideline sleep-down.

The battle's getting a bit cramped for me to accurately take count - what's the stati (statuses? status'?) of our various opponents?

I wonder if the Psycho "experimental stimulants" would make Sandy's blood taste any better. Maybe it could act like a salad dressing, spicing up that plain, earthy taste into something pretty good, or if it would just make it reek even worse.
Knowing his luck? It's probably the former.

When she got Heavy Ale's and Aubade's table she had a desperate look in her eyes. "Sir...please...sniffle...I'm looking for my daughter...she's been missing since last night...she didn't come home from her outing with her friends. They don't know where she's at either." Her voice broke as she levitated a flyer, one for both Heavy and Aubade.
The flyer had an photo image of a young unicorn, maybe in her early twenties. She was a pretty little thing with cute smile. She had a silver mane and khaki colored fur.
"Her name is Songbird, and she has a Nightingale cutie mark. She really loved music, it was..sniffle her world, sniffle like she was mine...please...if you see or find her...sniffle..."

She looked up at the face of her second killer in confusion before imploding, her final expression a pair of wide eyes and then....smelly, floor staining grossness.
*glares at Daniel*

The unicorn would not have long to fear. Sandy drove the stake through his middle so hard, the sand-hardened tip cracked the rock beneath him.

"Ehh, let's compromise and just get regretfully drunk together. Pick up flowers. What says 'sorry your kid got vamped and then I killed them'?"

Here's an idea! I haven't killed anyone senselessly, so why don't I handle the moral lectures and glaring?
Night Jewel, I don't think you're qualified for that. For one thing, you're an unashamed thief who is currently plotting to employ an elaborate series of psychological tortures against a local shopkeeper.
Yes, but at least I'm a pacifistic unashamed thief who is currently plotting to employ an elaborate series of psychological tortures against a local shopkeeper!

Sorry to anyone who's waiting for a post from me. I'm going to get to posting later, I just need to sleep for a long time >> The past couple days have left me completely exhausted, and I need some rest and relaxation. X.X
