(Hey guys, guess what? My log-catcher deleted the first 50 or so lines of this session, and I have no idea why! So here's how we're going to do it:)

A tall man wearing a fancy coat is busy nailing a large poster to the bulletin board at the center of Truce. All of a sudden, people start showing up! They do what people do best, mingling amongst themselves and one-another. Yay!

Garoth glances up at kahleen, her words obviously vocal despite what she thinks, and he chuckles at her "Well, yes, I'm feeling better, and I do remember most of what happened... you have a nasty havit of thinking out loud" he can't help but smile at her about that.

Vava raises an eyebrow at Kent, or would if he even had them under his helmet, and lets out a grunt. He reaches up, and taps the bottle in Kent's hand. "Tell you what. I'll forget you ever called me Fifi, but in exchange you give me the rest of this." He didn't actually care that much about the name, but whatever.

Lowell flicks his gaze between the good Doctor and his posting, even takes in a breath to say something... and stops halfway. Curse you, guilty conscience! The youth turns south a moment, something resembling guilt crossing his face, but he just can't seem to look away from this Clemente for long.

He stoops just short of the two robots as the man gives his announcement, his gaze flicking over to the doctor for a moment before he focuses on the robots again "I heard from a... semi-trustworthy source that you may be able to help me with a small project, I need a few.... well, can we discuss this in a more private setting?" the man seems somewhat uncomfortable talking about this with so many people about.

Lorastine looks at Clemente and giggles at how well he is attracting a crowd for the party. She was excited so hearing him announce it like this, excited her a bit more. All she did was let him continue with a smile on her face to let him do his job.

Kahleen's jaw drops and her eyes blow up! *Boof!* She takes a step back from Garoth, looking as if she had just seen a ghost. "He can read our minds!" Kahleen said quietly. "Its okay, Kahleen. Dont freak out, okay? Just clear your mind." Kahleen faced the unseen. "Okay!" She said before she placed a finger on each of her temples and concentrated so hard her face scrunches up.

"Hah-Mmmm...Did it work?" . . .Kahleen jumped for joy. She pointed at Garoth with her glass shank. "You should give up, psychologist-kick...er whatever you mind readers are called! My mind is as sharp as a stone! Stone? That dont sound right. Just imagine something REAAALLY sharp and know that is how sharp my mind is, okay?!"

Dr. Von Clemente smiles openly, not bothering to hide the elongated canines that announce themselves to plain sight as he does. "Of course it does! What better way to celebrate the autumn season and bring in the spooky tiding of All Hallow's Eve than with a costume party? Everyone loves being someone they're not, yes?" The man gathers himself, clasping his hands together in front of himself. His features are almost flawless, his grace and charm almost without rival. "In assisted commemoration of this new establishment, I'll be hosting just that kind of party, my friends! One to get together and laugh and just enjoy life! After all, is that not what it's for? Ha ha!" The Doctor laughs easily. "As it so happens, I'm selling tickets to this occasion, right here and now! Would anyone care one, anyone at all..?"

"Eevee? (I..guess?)" says Eevee with his head tilted. Then it hit him! No, not that he's seen her before, but that she just responded! As exciting as that was, Eevee's given up on trying to find out the reasons why. Maybe it was just a moogle thing, Qupoma excluded. "Vee! (I haven't seen Mogwai much lately..but I wouldn't mind trying to help you find her!)"

Helios nods to the man. "alright, we can move elsewhere." He turns to the M85. "Buy us tickets to this... party. It could be useful." Helios turns back to the man. "Shall we be off?"

"'All Hallows E-oh. Nightmare Night?" Spitfire gets to her hooves, walking over to purchase a ticket. "Well, count me in. No reason the commanding officer of the Wonderbolts can't join in the festivities."

Nagol and Ivane raise their hands and Ivane says, "We will buy two tickets for the Party."

The warrior took one final swig and handed the bottle to Vava. "Yeah sure there, buddy!" Kent let out a small hiccup, but seemed to neither care nor notice. The knight punched Vava in the should in a friendly way and continued. "Man, did you ever notice just how pretty this place is?" he fell down on his back and stared at the sky. "I like pretty places."

Pauses for a moment as helios gives the robot orders "If you don't mind buying me one, I'll pay you back when I return." nods to the smaller robot, the flying one, and wanders off away from the crowd for the moment to discuss business.

Gizmo chuckles "That's fine. Given the announcement by the doctor over there, I think I know which day this is. Mogwai will be arriving soon." Meanwhile, Mogwai has pulled to the side of the road to investigate what someone has carved into the cliffside. In large letters were the words "Hello, my little white devil. You know where to find me, we've got a date." followed by today's date.

Garoth blinks at Kahleen, somewhat confused, then chuckles as he shakes his head "You don't even know you're doing it... you said it out loud. You actually say alot of things out loud." he smiles in a disarming way at the armed thief, figuring by now she probably won't stab him... maybe.

A costume party? It would definitely be something new. Lowell looks aside, wringing his pitchfork thoughtfully. Most of the town would be out for the holiday, right? His free hand pats one of his pockets which gives a satisfying jingle, and he finally jogs up to the man. "Excuse me! Could I buy a ticket, please?"

Vava shakes the bottle to figure out how much is left, and then sighs as Kent falls back on his ass. "You are a mess." He grabs the fallen warrior by the back of his armor and drags him away from the water, less any madness happen with the crowd around it. Dropping him once again, this time close to a bench, Vava sits and drinks from the bottle, casting a critical eye amongst the crowd.

Riko shrugs and walks off, but not before waving to Eevee. He almost gets to the inn, but the stranger selling stubs of paper catches his curiosity, and Riko steps closer to get a better view.

Lorastine feels a vibration coming from her pocket, she blinked with confusion looking down for a moment trying to figure out where it was coming from. She digs into her pocket to retrieve the com Kyrk had given her before, completely forgetting she had it. "Uh, Hello?" she askes into the device.

Kahleen heard the doctor announcing that he had tickets for sale. She looked at the doctor intently. "Those which have money are the only once who can gain access to this "party" hmm?" Kahleen said her thoughts quietly. She looked back to Garoth. He was still there? They usually didnt stick around long after her mind was cleared. "Ya know...I get a strange feeling you might be...Oh, nevermind!"

Kahleen realized the dagger might make Garoth uneasy. Kahleen rolls up her sleave. Without hesitation, she slashed her arm. Blood runs out of the wound and drips onto the ground. As soon as the blood droplets pool on the ground, they form into silver pieces. Kahleen returned her dagger to a strap and gathered the silver soon after the blood ceased to run. "I wonder how much they cost. Whatcha think, Figment?" She said looking at Garoth.

"Of course, of course!" He claps his hands together once, twice, and then on the third time, a large number of small red paper slips now present in his palm. "Five gold apiece, they are! Eight gold for two, should any of you care to bring a guest!" He pauses, offering the tickets to those who've asked for them. "And be sure to bring a costume, too! You don't want to be the normal one out! Ha ha!" He laughs again, even if it wasn't really that great of a joke.

Eevee blinks a few times, clearly confused. But what did the specifics matter? He was totally cool with Mogwai arriving soon, regardless of whether or not it came from random falling moogles. He wondered if he should tell her how he almost got himself and his friends killed when she arrives. At this time Eevee finally notices Riko, who..just walked off. Well shucks. He wonders how Riko's handling the whole experience and if it's been as hard on him as it has been on Eevee.

"Eevee? (What's that man announcing, anyway?)" asks Eevee. Clearly he wouldn't know a thing about Hallow's Eve or costumes or parties or being someone els--actually no wait he would know that part.

The com radio in Lora's hand crackles to life with a brief burst of static, before a familiar siren's voice comes online. "Lora? Lora honey, is that you? Thank goodness, it feels like I had been blocked off from the rest of the world! Nobody else was coming through! I would ask how you were doing, but I got something reeeeally important to ask!" The radio statics briefly as the girl's voice cuts out.

Nagol says to his brother, I need to talk to someone, can you handle the tickets?" Ivane nods and then Nagol turns and heads towards Gizmo. Ivane hands 10 gold to Clemente and says, "Two Tickets please, and keep the change."

Mogwai looks like she's about to go sw, but suddenly stops short and looks confused.

Garoth winces as she slices her arm, backing away a little.... she's crazy... though he watches in fascinatiin as the blood turns to silver "ahuhwhwhat? figment? My name is Garoth..."

With a nod, Spitfire reaches back into one pocket of her uniform, pulling out five gold coins with her right forehoof and handing them over. "Here you go."

"I'm a mess? Ahahahaa... Yeah." Kent looked at his armor. it still had scorch marks and ash on it from days ago. "Yeah I guess -HIC- guess I am." Kent jumped up to the bench next to Vava. "Hey hey hey you! F...va...vavava? Yeah. You. Do you know where I can get a bath around here?"

waves to Riko before replying to Eevee "It's a costume party, basically. For a holiday where people hand out candy to people in costume, and try to scare each other. It's a lot of fun." She takes a look up at the sun to check the time, then looks off to the southern horizon where the light can be seen glinting off a bus "Ah, here comes Mogwai now."

Riko tsked at the price of the tickets. He had a -little- scratch from selling off his meager Smash Stadium winnings, and he -technically- could afford it, but not only was there a chance of Qupoma deciding not go to with him, but he had other things to worry about than going to parties. Riko shrugged to Gitso or whatever her name was and walked away, finally making it into the inn.

Lorastine blinks for a moment as she looks at the device surprised to hear the voice coming from it. "Molly?" she askes for a moment before pushing the button again with a hestiant pause. "Uhm, what do you need?" Lorastine wondered what exactly was so urgent, hoping everything was ok.

The M85 hands the doctor 13 gold pieces and takes three tickets. It settles back to wait for Helios to finish talking to the man. With Helios and the man, "So, we take it that you want to order a few mechon, is that right?"

Lowell steps forward with a few coins in hand, just about to offer them before something strikes him. He digs out a few more -- eight in all -- and hands them to Clemente. "I'll take two, then." He didn't -need- the second, really, but maybe someone else would soon enough.

Sweetie runs to the group like a one pony stampeed. Stoping with an audible screech of her hooves against pavement and a lot of dust being kicked up, Sweetie chokes on it like a fool. "I ~Cough cough~ Smell adventure!"

Leads the M35 over to an alley, nodding somewhat as he glances back to the crowd "A few, yes, about eight of them if you can handle it. I hope I won't need them, but... just in case."

Vava takes another swig from the bottle before nodding his head to the north. "There's a stream up that way some if you want to. It also runs some pretty cold water, might help you sober up a bit more."

Kahleen looks at Garoth. He might be real. They normally didnt name themselves. "Okay, fine. Broth it is!"-"Garoth!"-"Er-uh-yeah! Garoth! My name is...Oh jeeze!" Kahleen seemed confused as she tapped her chin. "What did I say it was the other day. It was clever, I'm sure." She was idly counting the silver as she thought about it. "I am cooosiiilaand? Yeah! Cosiland!" She said seeming kind of proud of herself. Gosh that was SMOOTH! walked over with her hands filled with silver to purchase a ticket from the doctor.

Dr. Von Clemente hands out tickets eagerly to those who've asked for them, collecting the gold in turn. "Marvelous, thank you all! It should be a spectacular event, I'm hoping! Nothing better than letting all your troubles float away for one evening and bask in the joy of each others' company! I thank you all for your patronage! Is there anyone else, anyone who still would like to attend..? Everyone is welcome, don't be shy!"

Candy? Costumes? Were Eevee a trained pokemon before falling into the cleft, the concept wouldn't be so foreign to him. Still, it sounded interesting. In the wild, fear is a survival tool used to deter weaker creatures from engaging in combat and wearing one down. Eevee never considered this to be done out of fun, but he supposes he could try to enjoy it sometime. Those pesky rabites certainly would deserve the intimidation.

So was Eevee to assume that a party involved establishing dominance and commanding fear over the other beings around? Sounded reasonable enough, albeit slightly strange. Eevee wasn't sure how much intimidation he would carry though, given how the natives of the cleft have found him to be 'cute'. These thoughts come to a halt as Eevee spots the familiar bus arriving from the south, his ears perk up and his heartrate begins to accelerate as a smile forms on his face. She was right!

Helios nods. "That sounds fine. Now, what series did you want?" Several different miniature mechon figures form out of the cloud of flakes that surrounds Helios.

Mogwai Mogwai drives up to the square, full of fury "Only ONE person calls me white devil, and that's--" she's cut off by Gizmo giving her a kiss "Oh excellent, my date's here. I'll take two tickets please." she says, pulling out 8 gold for the good doctor.

With her right forehoof, Spitfire's taking the single ticket from the doctor, before tucking it into her uniform and spreading her wings to take flight back to the tree-fort.

Lora's com radio crackles to life again, and Molly's voice sounds urgent. "Lora, I cannot get a hold of Kyrk. He is not responding to his radio; I have no heard from him in a few days, and it is kind of worrying me. Is he still out your way, in that city you live in? He mentioned going somewhere, some other town, and then coming home. But that was the last thing I heard from him!" The radio crackles again, then cuts out.

Sweetie holds up a canteen with unicorn telekineses to her mouth and takes a sip. Then she rases a hoof in the air "I'd like a ticket good sir. I don't even know what we're buying tickets for but I know that Mogwai follows adventure."

Kent sumbled to his feet, took two steps, and fell straight down onto his face. The knight lied threre for a moment or two, confused on how the ground moved so fast. Usually it's below him. It was very odd indeed. Kent peeled himself off of the pavement and sat back down on the bench again, cradling his forehead with one hand. "No, I'm good. I think I need to sit down for awhile. I saw a talking horse today. A talking horse. And that was when I was sober."

Garoth shakes his head and chuckles as he follows after Kahleen "you have some of the strangest fake nakes I've ever heard... and I think you were looking 'Fobelid'. I think I'll sit the party out though, it isn't likely you'll get me into a costume..."

Vava eyes the talking horse that was currently at the fountian, looks back down at the bottle in his hand, and offers it back over to Kent. "You might need some more of this, then."

Sweetie says ' No he doesn't. I'm as real as you are.'

Ivane takes the tickets and says, "Thanks." He walks over and sits down at a nearby bench. Nagol walks over and says to Mogwai, "Hey there Mogwai, hows it going?" He looks at Gizmo and says, "Wait....it's a bit hard to remember, but isn't your name Gizmo?"

Lowell takes his tickets and gives his thanks with a short bow. A little wave sends him back fountainward, where he finally gets a chance to set his 'fork down. His purchase safe in a pocket, he heaves a relieved sigh and sets himself down on the side of the fountain, content to relax(for once). How he's doing this with drunkards and magic horses about is anyone's guess.

He points to the tallest miniature of the mechons, and the smallest ah, what are these two? and how 'portable' are they?"

Kahleen holds the ticket up to the light as if to inspect its authenticity. How would she really even know if it was a fake or not? She shrugged and slid it into a pocket before walking back to Garoth, who wasn't too far behind her. She stood next to him as she watched the others gathered at the fountain. "The knight might be an easy target." Kahleen shook her head. "He'd just cry until he-" she fell short of finishing her words.

Sweetie grabbed the bottle with telekinesis, "Quite frankly, I have been drunk a few times. How could you even stand on 2 legs under the influence of alcohol when I can't handle it on 4?"

Garoth was there. Kahleen would have to remember he can read minds so it wouldnt be a good idea to think too hard on any one thing. "So, you know about that, huh? Well, thats all you are getting for now." She said smiling. She kinda trusted Garoth even if she wasnt sure how "authentic" he was.

"I've seen him recently, he gave me this comm thingy, I actually expected to hear from him on it. Lorastine replies, "He said he'd be at the Inn, I think. I can go tell him to call you if you like." Mollianne's concern actually made Lorastine a bit nervous as well.

The Doctor hands out a few more tickets to those who're asking for it, offering a pleased, fanged smile as he takes the gold for each one. "Thank you all, and you're all welcome in turn! I hope for this to be one of the best nights of your life, and I'll see you all there, no doubt about it! Be sure to tell your friends, nobody should be inclined to miss this!" He straights again, the spaded end of his tail waving about at his coat's hemline.

As he sees Mogwai arrive, Eevee leaps off of the bench and dashes towards her, but comes to a halt seeing as Gizmo beat him to the pom. 'What the $#!%?' is a loose translation of pokespeak that occurs in his mind as he witnesses the spectacle. Not that Eevee would know what a date is, but Mogwai seemed upset at any rate. He wondered if he should bother saying anything to her, given her anger and sudden popularity as Gizmo and Nagol crowded her presence.

Helios looks at them. "Well, that small one is an M32, and the cheapest unit that we make for sale. That large one is an M52, it is about the size of one of those ponies that keep on popping up all over the place." Helios chuckles. "Anyway, that one is rather portable, it can sort of fold up. That answer your questions?"

Sweetie set the bottle down and then walks up with a bag of gold to purchase a ticket from that Doc person. "How much for a ticket?"

"No, something is wrong, Lora, I can feel it!" Molly's voice sounds stressed over the radio comm, as if she was trying to get a point across. "You know Kyrk, right? Would he EVER not have his radio on him? He is super high-strung on that sort of stuff! I am worried something happened to him... can you go find out? It is completely not like him to not answer his radio!"

Mogwai pushes Gizmo away and picks up Eevee "Hey there, how's my favorite little fuzzball?" Gizmo picks herself up for the second time today "Yes, I'm Gizmo. What do you want?"

Vava stares as the bottle is taken from his hand, and watches as the talking horse from earlier magics it over to her. The reploid stands calmly, walking over to the four legged fool and picking up his bottle, before considering the horse with it's back turned to him. It will not be soon. "Hey." He kicks the horse in the side of her back, seeking to spin her around. "Did you just butt into my conversation, And steal from me?"

Kent was too drunk to realize what was about to happen, so stared with a blank expression at them. He tilted his head to one side, and then to another side. Finally, the purple guy asked a question. "Hear hear!" he shouted, pretending to know what was going on.

Lowell situates himself on his bit of the fountain's edge to get some water, idly settling a look toward a particular fellow decked in... purple of all things.

Nagol says to Gizmo, "Do you remember me getting possessed and attacking everyone?"

Sweetie took the stupidest course of action based entirely on emotions. She explained herself "I actually set it down because your firend had enough. He tripped over his own shoes just a moment ago. I've tried to get drunk after a pony I know was turned into a robot right in front of my eyes, trust me when I say that it doesn't help deal with emotional issues."

Lorastine frowns and pauses for a moment holding the comm device in her hand. Mollianna was right, it was odd for Kyrk to neglect calling her. "I'll go see what's wrong, I'll let you knowas soon as I find out." she says, not really allowing for a response before she quickened her pace towards the Inn where she figured she would have a chance at finding Kyrk.

Garoth blinks slowly at Kahleen in obvious confusion.

Kahleen parted from Garoth to buy another ticket before the doctor would leave, as he threatened. She was short? Oh well nothing a good ol' cut couldnt fix! After buying and inspecting another ticket she came back to Garoth. Ignoring what he has said about no costume was going on him, she pat his shoulders. "You dont plant to wear...Ya know-Just that, right?" She looks around. Maybe she would have to wait for someone to show up to the party and steal a costume at the last second.

Shakes his head at the mechon as he thinks "I need something that I can hide in plain sight, and maybe have inconspicuously nearby... that, 52 you called it? Can it do that?"

Garoth bkanches at the thought of wearing a costume, but "uh, theres no way I can talk you out of dragging me along?"

Dr. Von Clemente actually backs up several steps, not seeming inclined to engage on this altercation that is likely to start brewing soon. "Well ladies and gents, I must bid everyone adieu for the evening." He gives another low bow, graceful and elegant. "I'll be around town for the next few weeks, so keep an eye out if you have any other questions for me! Until then..!" He swiftly turns, taking long strides on equally-long legs toward the south, looking very pleased with himself.

Eevee smiles as he rubs his face against Mogwai, "Eevee! (HeythereMogwaiwherehaveyoubeenImissedyousomuchohbythewayIwenttoseeSalamandoagaindespitemyinstinctstellingmenottoandalmostgotmeandFinnandRikokilledandhewasn'ttoohappytoseeusandohyeahthere'sapartythingwithcostumeswhateverthosearecominguptoestablishdominanceandfearoveracrowdoflessercreaturesanditsoundslikefunsupposedlylet's gooooo!)"

Eevee blurts out, taking a page out of Julexa's book. Like brother like sister? Bah, why can't he smooth like Riko? He tries again: "Vee! (Hey there, pretty lady!)"

Vava regards the horse for a moment before nodding. "So you butted into my conversation, and stole from me. Got it. Since you wanted to take this bottle from me so much though..." The bottle spins quickly in Vava's hand, leaving him holding it in a fashion akin to a club now, with he raises high over his head before bring it down, aiming to smash it over Sweetie's head.

Helios thinks for a moment. "Well, it would be difficult due to the power requirements alone... Difficult, but not impossible. We can equip an M52 with a camo unit, but it wouldnt be able to power it for too long. Is that fine?"

Gizmo looks up at Nagol "Actually... no, I didn't." Mogwai replies to Eevee "Well... that does sound like fun, sorry I wasn't there. At least you're all safe right?" her ears twitch as she listens in on Gizmo and Nagol "And speaking of last time, what did you do with my fez?

Gizmo gives the other moogle a curious look "I took your fez? Why would I do that?" Mogwai fumes "Yes, you stormed in, acted like you knew me this whole time, then took my hat!" Gizmo nods "Ah... see, I haven't done that yet. Suppose I'll have to now..."

As though Eevee were actually blurting out a summoning spell, Riko wanders out of Truce Inn after finding out that Qupoma had left some time ago. With nothing to do for the moment, he returns to the fountain.

Kent got bored and stumbled off of the bench again. He was getting slightly more sober, enough so to walk at least, not enough to think straight. The warrior looked for someone else to talk to and he walked around the fountain, occasionally stopping to regain his balance. Kent noticed Kahleen again. Maybe she didn't hold the whole sword incident against him. "Hey, Kah...Kahleen?" He finally got a good look at her for the first time. "Oh...you're uhh...You're pretty umm...pretty."

He shakes his head again "No... no, I will need something that can follow me at times... those smaller ones look to be the best bet I suppose. I don't need one that I'll have to lug around. I do, however, have a special request for the power cores. will I need to supply them myself, or can I show you what I have for notes?"

Nagol decides to let you two talk over the Time-Traveling What-not. He turns and goes over to Ivane. Ivane says to his brother, "Ready to go to Shrike?" Nagol nods and waves good bye to his friends. The two kirbies head out to the east.

Crash! 'Okay Sweetie Belle what have we learned today?' the voice of Sweetie's mother was ringing in her ears as she struggled to stand dispite a cuncussion. The booze stung as it got into the minor cuts that she received... "IZ Leeernnnned DatZ nOTz ALLllll Drrrrrunksssss can b heeeeellllllped." Even if she had not drank any of the alcohol, she was sluring her speech like a drunk form Vava's assult. And smelling like one...

Kahleen Kahleen looked off to the side. "Make it certain that he is not getting out of this!" Kahleen nodded. "Oh, YOUUU!" She said giggling. Something in her was starting to change. Her smile flashes into a death glare and she even starts to float, leaning her head closer, almost meeting Garoth's.

"...If you dont go to that party, I swear, I will personally break the gates of-" Kahleen paused looking at Kent. She drifted down, placing her feet on the ground again. She snapped her fingers. "Hey you. You're drunk. How'd you do that?" She watched Kent and ignored his compliment.

Well, that's a lovely hello! Lowell jumps at the shattering and stumbles off the fountain edge, quickly grabbing his pitchfork. Cautiously, he starts edging towards the goings-on, now well and leary of the guy in purple.

Garoth gulps as he looks up at Kahleen, cosiland, fobelid... whatever, staying where he is looking up at where she was even as she sinks back down to Kent "I... I..... I........."

Eevee starts to speak up, but stops as Mogwai's attention is diverted to Gizmo. What's a hat?

Kent shook his head vigerously, trying to get back in touch with reality. His ears hurt a bit when the woman snapped at him. "Uhh...sorry ma'am..." He said stumbling around a bit. He looked back into her eyes which were watching him intently. "How did I...get drunk? Well you see, there was this purple horse..." He stopped. He probably looked crazier than usual. "Hey umm...you're pretty."

Mogwai fumes as she realizes what she's done "So. You're going to take my hat earlier in my timeline, later in yours, just because I said you took it now? I hate you so much right now." Gizmo smirks "And yet you came when I called you out for a date. Speaking of which, here's my ticket. I'm sure Eevee can get in for free, but if he can't I'd rather he go than me."

Vava lifts the neck of the broken bottle while the horse stumbles around in pain, and tries to shake some remnants of the liquid that was left into the opening of his helmet. Eventually he gives up, and crushes the glass in his hand. "Broke my bottle. That was still half full too. I Like bourbon." He cracks his knuckles, looking down at the horse and not paying any attention to the kid at all, also apparentally not caring about the glass shards that must be in his hand. "Let's see if I can't beat the rest of the entertainment from out of you.'

"Notes? You have notes on a viable power core?" Helios leans in closer. "Tell us more and we can provide you with a... discount. Free camo units, how does that sound?"

Riko noticed that Gilbo chick again with Mogwai and Eevee nearby. Deciding he should let Eevee know he's alright anyway, he walks up to the trio. "Sup?" he asks as he finds a seat nearby.

Kahleen disappears into the Void.
Sweetie was just about to wash some blood and glass out of her mane with her canteen of water when she realized something was towering over her. She stopped and shivered as she hears about being beaten... "I SAID I WAS SORRY! At least I think I did!" So the cucussion might of effected her memory short term, but she had enough mind to start casting some magic.

Kahleen would snap her fingers again. "Stay with me, fountain diver! Now cleee-aar your mind, okay? You were almost there...I think." She looked off to the side to the unseen again. "Its most likely drunken banter." "Dang. Really? Okay." She smiled at Kent. Was this patience? "Now about how you got drunk. Is the bottle on you?"

Looks about with a little bit of worry "Welll... concepts. It requires, uh, certain spells to empower... Maybe you can derive something else from it though" he hands over a sheaf of notes, thinking that if anyone could figure them out, and find what he's done wrong, a robot should be able to.

Lowell wrings his grip on his faithful sidepolearm. Certainly didn't seem like things were going to get any better for the mare... what was that he said before? Helping others in need? "H-hey!" The youth runs up closer to the scene, looking some strange combination of determined and terrified. "Calm down!" About what? Boy, if only he'd asked beforehand.

Helios takes the notes and looks over them. "Hmmm... This is... With this, we could potentally make it work. Give us a week to get the chassis built and run some tests on the design, and we can have the models to you quickly." Helios peers at the notes again. "Huh... It looks like something important is missing from these notes... Oh, that makes sense."

"M85, give the man his ticket and follow us, we have some experiments to run." Helios flies off north, having memorised the notes. The M85 hands the ticket to the man and leavs as well.

Garoth comes out of his stupor, blinking over at kahleen before beginning to back away slowly... clothes, more items, crap.....

Eevee hears his name, but is still lost in the conversation. His ears drop a little as a response with a blank look on his face as he stares at Gizmo. Perhaps now wouldn't be the best time to tell Mogwai about Salamando's advice to him. Oh hey, Riko's back! As much as Eevee valued his friendship with Riko and desired to speak to him, it'd take a lot more than the presence of a cool dude wearin' shades to tear Eevee away from Mogwai's arms.

Vava examines the shield that appears before Sweetie, and doesn't even bother turning to Lowell as he runs up. Instead, he points his hand at the worried teen, fingers first. Slowly, holes appear in Vava's fingertips, before locking back into position with the sound of five guns cocking. "Congrats kid. You have until I break this shield to get me a new bottle of bourbon. If you do, it'll live. If not, well, I'll sell the body to a glue factory to make enough money for another bottle."

"THe bottle? I don't know where..." Kent looked behind him, and Vava held a broken bottle threatening another horse. "I'm sorry, ma'am, the bottle has gotten smashed over a unicorn." The drunk turned back to the theif, still enamored by her looks. He really wanted to be helpful. "I know! I still have some uhh...cigars and matches in case you'de uhh..." Kent hoped he didn't look rude. "I'm sorry, do you smoke?"

Gizmo's ear twitches "You three have fun, I need to excuse myself for a second." she pulls out a pair of guns wreathed in flame and points them in Vava's direction "You have three seconds to step away from the girl."

Sweetie says ' WHOA!!! No need to kill somepony over booze! I got the bits to pay for everything'

Mogwai hugs Riko "Hey there, how have you been? Eevee was just telling me you all went on a nice adventure."

Sweetie Screamed that in a paniced and sqeeky voice, before she pelts Vava with gold coins!

He chuckles and smiles, pocketing his notes and ticket, before proceeding through the fountain area, looking much more relaxed, almost happy, as he goes to leave town, looks like a little few too many points of excitement for him to blend back into the crowd.

Sweetie says ' HERE! 10 Gold! Just don't turn me into glue! WWWWAAAAAAaaaaahhhhhhhh!!"'

Riko shrugs, doing his best not to let his face twitch as he grits his teeth from the ear-splitting scream. "Hm? Oh, the trip to Salamando. Yeah, you could say that. Got a bit more than I bargained for in that trip, but I'm working it out. How's..." Riko's gaze wandered to find that one chick, only to find her pointing guns at a robot. It was then that he decided to ignore the time traveler. "... How's he holding up?" Riko asks, despite Eevee being very nearby.

A scream... In a sudden, perhaps unwise turn of events, a set of three cast-iron tines are rapidly closing in on the irate man in violet. Lowell's charging with sidearm low and pointed up, looking to catch that extended arm.

Kahleen would listen to Kent and follow his gestures to this "Vava" person who held a broken bottle, pointed at the purple unicorn. "Look! Its...Its perfect! The break on that bottle is a truly beautiful! If I had brought my duct tape it could be completed into a powerful weapon that I MUST HAVE!" She forgot Kent was there as she looks at him. " Where are you going, Garoth? You are going to that party, right?"

Kahleen looked at the cigar that Kent had offered, following it from where it was concealed. She put her hand on the cigar's and matches, pushing them away. "No, thank you." She said smiling as she used her free hand to take a cigar from his pocket, hopefully unnoticed. *Gaaangk*

Vava grunts questioningly as coins are thrown at him in a fit of self preservation, and is too busy with that and the screaming teen to note the woman behind him with guns. Still, who the hell did they think he was? The massive cannon attached to Vava's shoulder points into the sky briefly, and a massive flash exudes from the barrel, marking itself as a blinding flare.

Kent was sad to hear her decline his offer for a cigar. However, the knight was persistant, even in his drunken state. "Were you saying something about a party, madame?" His eyes lit up in a happy, drunken sort of way. "Say umm, I can go with you if you erm...don't mind." He rubbed his arm nervously. "I've been trained in etiquette and could show you a nice time...and yeah.""

Lowell's pitchfork does indeed catch Vava's hand, the tines ramming themselves directly into the holes that are in his fingertips. Vava spends less than a second thinking about this, instead he more reacts, firing a burst of energy out of them. Sadly, with the way the tines are positioned, this also causes several of Vava's fingers to explode. Damn clogged barrels.

As kahleen looked over at him, Garoth froze in place, giving an unconscious 'eep' "Ah, why would I have an.... any possible reason to say no?" his smile twitches.

Lowell, meanwhile, yelps and flinches from the flare, running a good few lengths past Vava. His pitchfork is a lost cause, blown clear in the opposite direction, not that he has any time to get it back what with fervently shielding his eyes.

Huh. Eevee wasn't sure he wanted Mogwai to put it that way. Some pretty crazy things went down and he really wanted to talk to Riko about it first. Well this was slightly awkward. Thankfully, the awkward moment is interrupted by Vava's blinding antics. Maybe it was about time Eevee checked out what the crap was going on rather than smothering..er..resting lovingly in Mogwai's arms. If Eevee had seen the shiny coins given to the ticket seller earlier, he'd be in quite a different state of mind by now

Mogwai smiles "He seems fine, a little hyperactive. He did say something about a mistake but... he's treating it we--" she's cut off by the blinding flash

Gizmo closes her eyes as the flare goes off. She wouldn't be able to see. Good thing moogles have other things than lanterns to get around in those dark caves. Her pom-pom feels the air pressure around her, painting a rough picture. Not enough for detail, but enough to aim as she fires incendiary bullets at Vava.

"This guy tends to draw attention. If you can lure him to the party, opportunities would surely present themselves in a clearer way, I'm sure. Then if you were to dress Garoth up...Well, you see where I'm going with this, Kahleen" Kahleen smiled. "Yes, I do." Shakes her head and comes back to reality. "Er-uh.. Sure-yeah I dont mind!" Kahleen leaned into Kent's ear and whispers.

"" Kahleen's whisper falls quieter as she continues."" Kahleen takes a step back. "So, we'll meet here...Uh. Didnt catch your name, Fountain Diver." She spoke as she backed up to Garoth so he didnt get to far from her.

Sweetie EXE. has stopped working and needs to shut down... ERRRR I mean, Sweetie Belle was completely taken off guard by how badly everything turned into violence so very quickly. "Where are the poliece! They give every new pony a ticket for falling into the fountain but they never come when the city breaks into a riot!"

Riko holds his shades closer to his head to shield his eyes from the massive blast, though he stilll had to close them to keep them from getting damaged by the all-consuming light. What in Maghara's name was going on over there. "Hey! You assholes mind keeping it down to a dull roar over there !?" he asks futilely, sure his words wouldn't be sufficient to stop whatever turf war was going on. Eh, he tried.

Garoth shields his eyes as the blast of light finally reaches him, slow wave pulsar energy or something, and he makes his way reluctantly back in what he thinks was kahleen's general direction.

The word 'demons' was enough to completely sober up Kent immdiatly. He however kept a straight face this time, so not to make a scene. "" He whispered back with a wink. She backed up and continued the conversation before she dropped him the hint. "My name is Kent, m'lady. I look forward to an evening with you." He threw in a gentlemen's bow, just for good measure

Vava looks down at his hand, which now featured two less fingers than it should have before, and examines the smoking and sparking stumps. "Huh. That's anno-" It was then that several explosive bullets slammed into his back, and the purple clad reploid turns, his eye cutting through the flash flare he let off. "That. Was the wrong move." His cannon thunks audibly as it returns from it's 'facing up' position to 'pointed directly at the moogle who just shot him.'

While Eevee didn't care much for the parties involved in the brawl, he would not be pleased if something happened to Mogwai. He idly wonders if he should take an active or a reactive maneuver to ensure such. Regardless, it was time to break the silence "Vee?! (Maybe we should get out of here? I don't like the look of this..)" he says towards Mogwai and Riko. He really hopes that Gizmo and hold her own and that they won't have to help her.

Lowell feels his way onward in roughly the same direction he was stumbling. Not a lot else to be done with one's retinas screaming for relief. His only hope is that he's stumbling -away- from the melee.

Kahleen smiled proudly about herself. Everything was falling into place and this guy? Oh, he made it easy! "I'll see you there, Kent!" She said in a flirting way. "Garoth, I'll be sure to...Garoth?" Kahleen looked at what was left of the fading light. "Crazy people and their fights..." Kahleen spaced out briefly before she would spaz out "GAROTH! I'm getting your costume! Be here on the night of the party, Got IT?? She asked, tapping her foot awaiting a response.

Mogwai nods "I'm sure she'll be fine but... Sweetie's a friend of mine. I can't exactly just run away." Meanwhile, Gizmo flicks her ears as the cannon is aimed at her, and leaps into the air, flipping around and firing down at Vava. "Sweetie, run!"

Garoth simply nods slowly at kahleen's hint of a threat, gulping, and hoping the costume she chooses won't 'cling' much

Sweetie runs like the little #@%^& that is scared of her own shadow and hides behind Mogwai who is always so strong, brave, and confident in her maculinity (wat).

Kent backed up a little in preperation to go, But as soon as he turned his hangover struck him very hard. He rubbed his head and turned back around. He was forgetting something. Oh that's right! "Madame," He began, timidly,"I don't believe you shared with me your name. I'd hate to show up and not know my own date's name."

Sweetie hugs Eevee and cries. "Eevee it was horrible!"

"Oh, son of a bitch," Riko spat as he rose to his feet. "Nobody can mind their own business in this world." With that, he draws his rusty weapons. "C'mon, Eevee, let's go save them." he says before uttering a ragged sigh and walking toward Vava.

Flames spew from Vava's backpack as the reploid kicks into the air, engulfing the area Vava had just left. Not according to plan however, was the damage caused, which makes his intended jump much shorter than it's supposed to be. Still, the reploid corrects himself in mid-air, grabbing hold of the top tier of the fountain and sighting Gizmo with his damaged hand. Riko's words, however, carry even through the battle.

Kahleen playfully punches Garoth's arm. "Thank you, Broth-Garoth!" She started to back away, mindful of the fighting taking place as to avoid it. She removes a smoke bomb from her pocket and raises it high. "Consiland, Kent!" She slammed the smoke bomb down *Poof!*

Vava breaks into a short fit of laughter, and kicks off the stone of the fountian, landing on the stone lip of the bottom tier. "Bringing the whole gang? And to think I'm the one under attack." Holes open up on his other fingers, and he begins covering the crowd around him the best he can. "Shall we then?"

Eevee was afraid of that. The ponies didn't mean much to him; they were just glorified pokemon pretenders. He growls a little as Sweetie hides behind Mogwai and as Riko beckons him to enter the fray. He just can't have a peaceful night with his favorite moogle, can he? Eevee struggles to escape from Mogwai's arms so he could go help Riko. Nothing personal.

Mogwai sets Eevee down and summons a glowing whip of lunar energy. She charges at Vava, delivering a loud crack of her whip. Meanwhile, Gizmo lands near where Vava had been, turning around to face her target once more.

Garoth glances at kent and tries not to glare too much, his eyes wandering over to the battle and he decides the fountain is too hot a zone to stick around, what with all the bullets flying around.

"Consiland...Consiland..." Kent commited the name to memory. "Consiland!" Kent did a quick jump for joy when he realised he had just gotten a date. He needed to prepare of the next few weeks. Kent turned around to notice the brawl going on. Surprisingly calm about it, Kent marched up to Vile. "Hey, Vava!" He shouted. He had a hangover, but otherwise seemed to sobe rup rather quickly,"Where did you say that river was? And is there a place here I can buy a new scabbard?"

Parting from Mogwai's arms, Eevee closes his eyes and concentrates on Lumina's blessing. He experiences a brief moment of clarity as he flashes brightly! As the light dies down, Eevee's fur has been changed to bright white and a luminous cloud of light hangs around his body. Part of him wants to shield Mogwai and hope he could convince Riko to pull them out. He opens his mouth and inhales deeply as he begins to gather light to focus into a beam.

Flames spark to life again from Vile's body as his dash thrusters kick to life, and Vava hunches his body down before propelling hiself towards Mogwai's charge. This does help her wild attack hit however, the holy whip burning against Vava's midsection as he attempts to barrel into her.

Lowell shakes his head and squints around briefly. Looks like he can see again, because he then makes a mad dash south, far and away from the fighting. Lesson learned!

Mogwai takes the hit full on, sliding against the ground. Gizmo readies to fire again, before noticing she'd likely hit an ally, and instead fires into the air.

Eevee continues to gather more light, suddenly unsure if ranged combat was the best choice. Watching Mogwai get tackled by the jerk didn't help either.

Kent barely cared about being ignored. He just signaled good-bye and walked away. He wasn't in the mood for another fight today. "Never mind you, I'll find it myself. I'll see you later, Vava." Kent pulled his hood over his eyesas he went to go find a place to sleep. The inn was probably still bitter about his tab, but it seemed like a nice night. When he finally found a good spot in an ally he reached for one more cigar before sleep. Then he found one was missing. He smiled to himself. "Oh, Consil

Kent smiled to himself. "oh Consiland..."

Sweetie sighs and realizes that there are just somethings not worth killing each other over. It was only stupid booze! Stupid booze that was broken who's bottle was broken on Sweetie Belle's horn. Gods that must of been really good burbon to try to kill/sell everyone to the glue factory over.

Sweetie yells 'STOP IT EVERYONE! THIS ISN'T WORTH VIOLENCE!'

Garoth heads the opposite way.... maybe he can find that river, and drown himself before the party..... not likely.

"Shut up," Riko tells the screeching pony. "You're the one that started this, don't assume screaming will finish it." With that, Riko grabs Vile's cannon and pulls, aiming to lift Vile off of Mogwai.

Sweetie assists Riko with telekinesis. Lifting a X00 lbs robot is a strain on her brain, but not nearly as bad as the bottle earlier.

Kent is pulled back into his own dimension.

Garoth is pulled back into its own dimension.

Vava growls at the burning sensation caused by the whip, he slams his non-damaged hand against the moogle, attempting to hold her to the ground. At the same time, his cannon swivels to point menacingly at her head, regardless of the others attempts to try and pry him off of her. "Fun as this is, let's play a differen-" A haze surrounds the reploid as the pony's magic begins trying to lift him.

Vava lets out a bark of laughter as he feels momentarily less heavy, and his damage hand is pointed at Sweetie. "No one asked what you wanted." Damaged as it is, plasma still spews from his damaged digits, directed at Sweetie.

Mogwai takes advantage of Vava's distraction to slip on a mask. It's dark blue, with a skull pattern on it "GET OFF!" she yells as she activates the mask, an explosion surrounding her

Sweetie was saved from lethal aim by an exploding moogal. Now instead her face was burnt by fire, and plasma would instead burn the sides of her hind legs/rump. But Sweetie would live. And she was so focused on that she droped Vava and started to use magic to mend her body.

The next thing Riko knows, he's picking himself off the ground, and has a few spots of singed fur. It takes him a minute to figure out what happened.

Eevee is finding it more difficult to hold the charge as it continues to gather excessive energy. He's usually fired them off by now; he's never held a charge for this long before. But as he spent too much time waiting for the right moment, his eyes widen and his heart nearly stops beating as Mogwai dons her mask and detonates it. As if his heart and mind had just shattered, Eevee finds himself unable to act, still holding the charge until the smoke clears.

Vava did not find himself ready for the explosion to go off in his face. In fact, he was extremely Not ready for it. The force of the explosion catches the reploid and, with the telekinetic force of the pony and the other fool attempting to lift him, Vile is thrown away from Mogwai, smoke emenating from his body as several of his non-metal portions catch fire or shatter.

Mogwai crawls away from the crater she'd made, idly putting out a singed whisker. Meanwhile, Gizmo comes walking in from the south "Hey, wasn't quite sure what brand you wanted. Bourbon, right?" she says, holding out a bottle to the damaged Vava.

Feeling inexplicably nauseous, Eevee feels a vomitting sensation as he finally finds the right opportunity and fires the massive blast towards Vava. He then falls to his knees, letting out a coughing fit. He desperately wanted to run to Mogwai's side, but he needed a moment himself. He didn't have much Lumineon power left.

Sweetie sighed and started to cast the ever useful mend spell on Vava's circits and ruined paint job ... "There you go MR. CRAZY KILLER ROBOT, that should fix you up... uh this squairs us right?"

Sweetie says ' Right?'

Riko grumbles as he makes his way toward Mogwai. He tries to help her up, only to growl "Let's get -out- of here," at her, ready to be rid of the fight.

Vava might have enjoyed the bourbon. Or the mending. Vava might have enjoyed many things, but as he was reaching out to collect the bottle with his injured hand, a pure beam of light intersects his arm, and grazes his chest. The result is melted metal, and a lack of Vava's left arm where the elbow joint should be. He doesn't really have words to express his pain right now.

Mogwai accepts Riko's help, letting him support her as she limps away from the battlefield. Meanwhile, Riko looks at what just happened in confusion, before offering the bottle to Vava's other hand

As Eevee's coughing begins to cease, the luminous cloud around him fades away and his fur reverts back to normal. He watches Riko help Mogwai away and turns to look at Vile once more. Why did it come to this? Did he really even deserve it? Eevee follows behind Mogwai and Riko, fatigued from overcharging.

Sweetie says ' Uhhh... If you come by tomarrow I'll see if I can reattach that hand.'

Gizmo sets the bottle down next to Vava and runs off after the moogles and Eevee "Hey, Eevee. I noticed you don't seem to trust me very much. Well, that's ok. I don't blame you. Just know this: There will come a time when you trust me with your life. When I'll never let you down. It will also be the worst day of both yours and Mogwai's life. And the day she finds out who I am."

Eevee stops and looks towards Gizmo, clearly puzzled. She has yet to make any sense to him. "Eevee. (You almost got her hurt, again. I don't see how I can ever trust you like that.)" he says coldly as he turns around and catches up to Mogwai and Riko.

Gizmo shakes her head and heads over to the bus "Mogwai made her own choice." she says as she fiddles with the settings to change the bus from transport mechanism to time machine. As she hits the accelerator, the effect keeping her in this timeline unravels, slingshotting her back into her own time.

Sweetie blinks in disbelief as she walks on home. Today was a day she would have nightmares about for sure.

Vava is still writhing in anti-arm and terribly scorched chest pain. Thanks. Assholes.
