Log

[18:56] <NiteBrite> roof- E-excuse me, but aren't we supposed to be looking for the Fusebox or something? Nitebrite interrupts

[18:57] <TripleCrown> caf- "m-monsters..."

[18:58] <MarissaInaba> <roof-> Well, that's what I'm doing.

[18:58] <DustyFeathers> caf- Dusty heard a terrified whimper among SoftSpeak's dictatorial speech. She wondered where it was coming from, or more importantly, whom.

[18:58] <MachDasher> "Overhere slow pokes!"

[18:59] <TripleCrown> (As she looks around she will notice TripleCrown is dimly lit standing by the windows

[18:59] <TripleCrown> )

[19:00] <NiteBrite> Did you find something Mach? *walks over*

[19:00] <MarissaInaba> *trots over; mutters to herself* why is it that there aren't any teachers up here?

[19:01] <TripleCrown> "There it is again!" he says a little louder

[19:01] <NiteBrite> You know, that is odd...

[19:02] <MarissaInaba> ... you know, I wasn't really thinking all that hard about it, but now I'm worried.

[19:02] <DustyFeathers> caf- She quickly noticed a figure standing by the windows, it seemed to be shivering. She quietly moved towards it so as not to disturb SoftSpeak. "Hey, you okay?" She whispered.

[19:02] *** SolidGear has joined #ponyville

[19:02] <TripleCrown> Look! Did you see that

[19:02] <SolidGear> (())

[19:02] <MachDasher> Would you care to do the honors m'lady? Dasher asks Marissa opening the fuse box

[19:03] <NiteBrite> (())

[19:03] <MachDasher> (A shadow sweeps past the window)

[19:03] <SolidGear> (())

[19:03] <DustyFeathers> "What?" Dusty looked around. "Oh, that was a bird. You'll be fine..."

[19:03] <NiteBrite> (())

[19:03] <MarissaInaba> Okay. I'll see what I can do. I swear, what would you people do without me.

[19:04] * SolidGear rolls her eyes at Marissa's response.

[19:04] <SolidGear> "Do you even know how a fuse box works?" she asks, having taken a look at the group assembled thus far.

[19:04] * MachDasher looks impatient

[19:05] <MarissaInaba> ... Maybe it'd be better to let you do this.

[19:05] <TripleCrown> No, it was HUGE!

[19:05] <TripleCrown> (A bird lands in the window sill)

[19:06] <NiteBrite> Do you know about fuseboxes SolidGear?

[19:06] <TripleCrown> (())

[19:07] <DustyFeathers> "So, it wasn't this bird?" She asked gently, still unsure of who it was she was even talking to. The dim light didn't help her to recognise the face at all.

[19:07] <MachDasher> OH Just someone do it already!

[19:08] <MarissaInaba> Patience is a virtue *smirks slightly; his impatience is kinda funny*

[19:08] <TripleCrown> N-no! It had sharp teeth and-and...

[19:09] * MachDasher looks like he's ready to just flip all the switches

[19:09] <SolidGear> "I know about them, yah...but I can't really do much without a bit of help...my hoof still feels funny from the fall I had earlier." she looks to be standing, then looks to Mach.

[19:10] <SolidGear> "Here, flip them all to 'off' Mach, please?"

[19:10] * DustyFeathers reaches out her wing and wraps it around the scared figure.

[19:10] <MachDasher> YES!!!

[19:10] * MachDasher flips everything!!!!!!!!!1!

[19:10] <MarissaInaba> ._.

[19:11] <NiteBrite> Wait! She said off! Everything OFF!

[19:11] * NiteBrite intervenes

[19:11] <DustyFeathers> "It's alright, Mama Dusty's here..." She gently whispered. "I'll make sure nothing hurts you dear."

[19:11] <TripleCrown> (The lights flash on and Reveal its TripleCrown :O )

[19:11] <TripleCrown> It-it

[19:11] <MarissaInaba> (:O)

[19:11] * TripleCrown notices dusty

[19:12] <TripleCrown> It was a stupid bird.

[19:12] * TripleCrown pushes Dusty away

[19:12] * SolidGear blinks a little as she looks to Crown, "Well, that's nice of you to say."

[19:12] * DustyFeathers quickly shakes her wing in disgust.

[19:12] <NiteBrite> (Weird noises can be heard form inside the school)

[19:13] <MarissaInaba> Well... that works?

[19:13] <MarissaInaba> I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going inside.

[19:13] <TripleCrown> (NMM is standing in the window behind TripleCrown, her eyes glowing)

[19:13] <TripleCrown> stupid bird

[19:13] * DustyFeathers hears the eerie noises and looks around for SG and NB.

[19:14] * SolidGear sighs, then quickly moves up to the fuse box to look at the fuses carefully.

[19:14] <NiteBrite> I still wonder what happened to the teachers

[19:14] <SolidGear> "Hmmm....wonder why they all seem to still be working...?"

[19:14] <DustyFeathers> "Oh, where the hay did those two go?!"

[19:14] <MachDasher> (some fuses have blown out causing parts of the school to remain dark)

[19:14] <MarissaInaba> Yeah, seriously, you'd think they'd have come here first to fix this.

[19:15] <MachDasher> Lets get out of here

[19:15] <Anthrax> But what about Dysentery?

[19:15] <MarissaInaba> That's what we're doing, speedy.

[19:15] <Anthrax> I thought you were going to help find him

[19:15] <MarissaInaba> *pretty much ignores Anthrax for now; there's nothing in it for her, after all*

[19:16] <MarissaInaba> >:| Who said that, exactly?

[19:16] <NiteBrite> I don't think he's here. We've looked all over

[19:16] <Anthrax> ()

[19:16] <DustyFeathers> caf->hal "Ohh, where are you two?" Dusty rushes out of the cafeteria peeking into all of the classrooms. "Solid?! NiteBrite!!"

[19:16] <MarissaInaba> ()

[19:17] <Anthrax> UGH! *rolls her eyes*

[19:17] <Anthrax> ( )

[19:17] <NiteBrite> roof->Hey *waves at dusty*

[19:18] <NiteBrite> (NB's glasses are broken)

[19:18] <MarissaInaba> *clears throat* Right. Let's talk terms. Walk with me.

[19:18] <Anthrax> *walks with Marrisa*

[19:18] <Anthrax> roof-> hall - Hey Dust

[19:18] * SolidGear sets about figuring out which fuse to replace where, slowly working on the box, "I'll help, Anthrax. But can you tell me just what it is that took him?"

[19:18] <Anthrax> y

[19:19] <MarissaInaba> <roof-hal> Now, I don't think there's any way that we can find your boyfriend without endangering ourselves.

[19:19] <Anthrax> (OOPS)

[19:19] <Anthrax> So what do you want?

[19:19] <MarissaInaba> So, I don't think it's fair to expect us to help for free.

[19:20] <MarissaInaba> I don't exactly expect you to pay us real money, mind you. That's not fair to you.

[19:20] <MarissaInaba> So let's talk about what you think -is- a fair form of payment.

[19:20] <DustyFeathers> ()

[19:21] <SolidGear> ()

[19:21] <NiteBrite> (I goofed. It was supposed to be NB who left the roof and saud hi to Dusty. Everyone just left SG alone with the fuses.)

[19:21] <MarissaInaba> ()

[19:21] <SolidGear> (())

[19:21] <MarissaInaba> (retcon Anthrax and Marissa's conversation to be on the roof, then)

[19:22] * SolidGear is still working on the fuses, one-hoofedly.

[19:22] * DustyFeathers spots NiteBrite and smiles. "Phew, well that's one of you. Where's the other one?" She looks around the hall cautiously.

[19:23] <NiteBrite> SolidGear is up on the roof fixing the fuses

[19:23] <NiteBrite> Is that you Dusty?

[19:23] <Anthrax> I can't do your homework, I'm barely a C student as is

[19:23] <Anthrax> @_@

[19:24] <DustyFeathers> "Yes it is m'dear... Wait, who's on the roof with Solid?"

[19:24] <MarissaInaba> Pft. I can do my own homework. Heck, for five bucks a month I'll do yours for you AND tutor you for tests.

[19:25] <MarissaInaba> Gimme something I can't get on my own.

[19:25] <Anthrax> I can beat the snot out whoever you want

[19:25] * SolidGear mumbles something that sounds incoherent, as she's partly using her mouth to test out the fuses before putting them back, searching for the broken ones.

[19:26] <NiteBrite> Marissa

[19:26] <NiteBrite> and That punk pony Anthrax

[19:26] * DustyFeathers sighs with relief.

[19:26] <MarissaInaba> Oooh, now we're getting somewhere. Right, then, you owe me one free beating on the pony of my choice!

[19:26] <MarissaInaba> I think I can work with that. Alright, we have a deal |3

[19:26] <DustyFeathers> "Alright then, as long as she's not up there alone. You know that roof gives me the heebie-jeebies."

[19:27] * Anthrax offers a hoof to shake

[19:27] <NiteBrite> Say, have you seen any teachers?

[19:27] <NiteBrite> The school is oddly quiet

[19:27] * MarissaInaba takes the hoof. "Right, let's go make sure that SG doesn't electrocute herself"

[19:28] * SolidGear glances aside, as she's gone halfway through the fuses just fine without any shocks, "Bah, I'm doing well...there's a lot of fuses here though."

[19:28] <Anthrax> *walks over* What's this one?

[19:29] <Anthrax> *poke*

[19:29] <MarissaInaba> Don't touch that!

[19:29] <MarissaInaba> You'll hurt yourself.

[19:29] <Anthrax> Fine... Mom *scoffs*

[19:29] <DustyFeathers> "Nope. No teachers, but a lot of ponies are still in the cafeteria." She looked back to the cafeteria's double doors.

[19:29] * SolidGear looks at the fuse Anthrax decided to poke, "Uhm...that one's to...I think the cafeteria."

[19:30] <MarissaInaba> You're an investment. So long as you owe me, I'd rather you not kill yourself.

[19:30] <NiteBrite> ((the cafeteria is absolutely silent))

[19:30] <NiteBrite> Really?

[19:31] * TripleCrown has fallen asleep. SO BORED

[19:31] <TripleCrown> ((MACH DASHER))

[19:31] <MarissaInaba> Anyway, it couldn't hurt for SG to have an extra pair of hands or two.

[19:31] <MarissaInaba> Three would be nice, but SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO RUDE TO BE HELPFULL. *cough cough*

[19:31] * SolidGear resumes her work on the fuses, "I don'th need any thelp."

[19:32] <MachDasher> I did my part. Flipped all the switches

[19:32] <DustyFeathers> "Maybe SoftSpoken's really managed to get everyone to be quiet..." She looked to NB nervously.

[19:32] <NiteBrite> Maybe we should take a look?

[19:32] <MarissaInaba> >:| you only have one working hoof right now.

[19:33] <SolidGear> "I've done that before...." she retorts, motioning with her metal hoof as in indicator of what she's done exactly.

[19:33] <DustyFeathers> hal->caf Dusty nods her head and slowly makes her way through the doors.

[19:33] <MarissaInaba> Well, I'm not moving until you're done.

[19:33] * SolidGear granted, she's terribly off-balance now and a light push can topple her.

[19:33] <MarissaInaba> Just in case.

[19:34] <SolidGear> "Fiiine." she mutters, turning back to the fuses and continuing onwards.

[19:34] <NiteBrite> (The cafeteria is empty and the widows are smashed open.)

[19:34] <NiteBrite> What do you see?

[19:34] <MarissaInaba> (OMINOUS)

[19:34] * SolidGear will be a while, as her work on the fuses will take at least five more minutes.

[19:35] * MarissaInaba will stay put, fairly close to SG just in case

[19:35] <MachDasher> Gets up and leans on Marrisa, "How much looonger? Do I need to flip all the switches again?"

[19:36] <MarissaInaba> Get offa me >:|

[19:36] <MachDasher> Fine

[19:36] * MachDasher walks over to the fuses

[19:36] * SolidGear seems rather unperturbed by Marissa leaning on her, then looks at Mach for a split second while she replaces a fuse.

[19:37] <DustyFeathers> "Well, nobody's here. But that bird really went for the windows!" She continued to look around cautiously. "On the plus side, there seems to be no evidence that anypony was hurt..."

[19:37] <NiteBrite> Ponies don't just disappear...

[19:38] * Anthrax flips a few switches

[19:38] <Anthrax> (( arg mach))

[19:38] * MachDasher flips a few switches

[19:38] <MarissaInaba> Oi, stop that.

[19:38] <NiteBrite> ((The lights go out in the cafeteria again))

[19:38] * SolidGear flips the switches back, as they were still on the side of 'to be fixed', "Flip these ones." she gestures towards the other half of the fuse box.

[19:39] <MachDasher> fine

[19:39] * MachDasher does actual work.

[19:40] <DustyFeathers> "I know that..." She started to grow nervous for the others' safety. The light snapped off and she badly restrained a yelp.

[19:40] <NiteBrite> Yelps too

[19:40] <NiteBrite> Or by himself

[19:41] <SolidGear> "By the way, why'd you flip that switch anyways, Mach? Did it work?"

[19:41] <NiteBrite> (As Solid flips the lights back on, there is a TARDIS in the middle of the cafeteria)

[19:42] <DustyFeathers> "Whoa!" Dusty looks at the TARDIS in awe. "What do you suppose that is?"

[19:42] <MachDasher> It looked more interesting than the others

[19:42] <NiteBrite> That blusih blob? *NiteBrite reaches out to touch it but clearly has no depth perception*

[19:43] * NiteBrite hoofs at the air

[19:43] <MachDasher> It had this purplish shine

[19:43] <MachDasher> but its gone now

[19:43] <DustyFeathers> "Yeah... That blob..." She gently guides NiteBrite closer to the TARDIS.

[19:44] * NiteBrite touches the TARDIS

[19:44] <NiteBrite> Oh, its a box!

[19:44] <MarissaInaba> ... it did, now?

[19:44] <MarissaInaba> Hmmm.

[19:44] <MarissaInaba> Interesting.

[19:45] <Anthrax> Is it? IS IT INTERESTING?

[19:45] * Anthrax is still upset with Mach for stealing her lunch

[19:45] <NiteBrite> Oh look, a door

[19:45] <MarissaInaba> Kinda stupid, I'll grant you, but interesting.

[19:46] <DustyFeathers> "A box??" She looked at it curiously. "I don't think our friends are in there though..." She suddenly remembered about how scared TripleCrown was earlier.

[19:46] * NiteBrite opens the TARDIS door

[19:46] <NiteBrite> (Its dark inside)

[19:46] <DustyFeathers> "Whoa! Stop a second, you can't see a thing there!!" She rushes inside the TARDIS ahead of him.

[19:46] * SolidGear sighs as she listens to this, "Okay, so it seems the fuses are working now? Shouldn't we go see what's lit up then?"

[19:46] <MachDasher> U jelly?

[19:47] <Anthrax> Ugh, hipster. UGH!

[19:47] <MarissaInaba> I'm gonna side with SG on this one.

[19:47] <Anthrax> Yes, lets get away from here

[19:48] * MarissaInaba calmly heads back downstairs, ignoring the antics of MachDasher and Anthrax

[19:48] * SolidGear looks to Marissa and nods, then starts to head down the stairs to the Cafeteria, "Good, then let's go." she slowly goes down, avoiding putting more pressure on her hurt hoof.

[19:48] <MachDasher> I'll race you to the hall.. Ready. *runs* GOOOO~!

[19:48] <MarissaInaba> >:|

[19:49] <MarissaInaba> *makes mental note to try and resist the urge to waste her free beating on him*

[19:49] <NiteBrite> Once inside, the door closes behind them.

[19:49] <NiteBrite> Now they can't see at all

[19:50] <MachDasher> roof->hall- FIRST! YEEHAW~

[19:50] <DustyFeathers> "Well... That blows." Dusty rolled her eyes.

[19:51] <MarissaInaba> < roof->hal > >:| honestly, not everything is a race.

[19:51] * NiteBrite bumps into the central console

[19:51] <NiteBrite> hey theres a bunch of switches here

[19:51] <NiteBrite> maybe one of them is a light

[19:52] <MachDasher> Sounds like sour grapes to me ^_^

[19:52] <MarissaInaba> You are the only person who cares about this.

[19:52] <MachDasher> Chin up second place

[19:52] <DustyFeathers> "Do you know about that for definite?"

[19:52] <MarissaInaba> I reiterate; you are the only person who cares about this.

[19:52] * MachDasher ruffles Marissa's mane

[19:52] <MachDasher> There there

[19:53] <MarissaInaba> >:|

[19:53] <NiteBrite> No. But it could hurt to try?

[19:53] <NiteBrite> Could it?

[19:53] <SolidGear> roof -> hall "Yays, we made it." she deadpans.

[19:53] <Anthrax> <whispers to Marissa>: just say the word

[19:54] <DustyFeathers> "Well, I guess not. Bear in mind that only one of us can see anything now though." Dusty warned her friend.

[19:54] <Anthrax> and 'bam' *mochs kicking Mach*

[19:54] <MarissaInaba> *whispers back* No, no. I'm saving it for when I -really- need it. Lord knows it's tempting, though.

[19:54] <MarissaInaba> *still whispering* I wonder if he's doing it on purpose.

[19:55] <NiteBrite> Okay, Switch #1 testing...

[19:55] * DustyFeathers braces herself for the worst...

[19:55] * SolidGear sighs, then heads towards the cafeteria.

[19:55] <NiteBrite> Rock 'n Roll music starts to play

[19:55] <NiteBrite> Well that wasn't it

[19:56] <SolidGear> <hall -> cafe> "Hey, anyone in her...huh, that's new." she calls out, blinking.

[19:56] * DustyFeathers relaxes a little.

[19:56] <NiteBrite> Switch #2 ready?

[19:56] * SolidGear stares at the blue booth of phoniness in the cafeteria, mildly surprised at it.

[19:56] <MarissaInaba> <hal -> caf> *follows SG* come on, let's make sure the other ponies didn't kill each other.

[19:56] <DustyFeathers> "Well, nothing can be worse than the radio... Okay, ready."

[19:57] <MachDasher> That would be interesting~

[19:57] <SolidGear> "It would, but this....this thing is definitely weird...why's it here?" she asks, moving up to the blue phonebooth.

[19:57] <NiteBrite> The lights come on revealing the box is bigger than the cafeteria inside.

[19:57] <NiteBrite> Anything?

[19:58] * SolidGear steps back out of sheer surprise and amazement, tripping over her rear hooves and faceplanting.

[19:58] <DustyFeathers> "Lights, Camera, Action!!" Dusty smiled a little. "Wait, how big was this thing before we went inside?

[19:58] <DustyFeathers> "

[19:58] <SolidGear> "Owww...just not my day today, is it?"

[19:58] <MarissaInaba> Woah. Blue box.

[19:58] <MarissaInaba> You alright?

[19:59] <MachDasher> I claim the box! *touches it first*

[19:59] <MachDasher> Mine~

[19:59] <MarissaInaba> It probably already belongs to someone.

[20:00] <NMM> SPooky disembodied Voice: No, its MINE~

[20:00] <MarissaInaba> ._.

[20:00] * SolidGear slowly gets up, wincing at her left hoof, "Oww...I think I officially broke something now..."

[20:00] <NMM> *Purple smoke starts to flow into the cafeteria through the windows*

[20:00] <MarissaInaba> ._.

[20:01] * SolidGear is totally oblivious to the creepy voice, but notices the smoke, "Eh, what's all that weird smoke?"

[20:01] <NiteBrite> To be honest, I have no idea

[20:01] <MarissaInaba> I... think it might be a good idea to get out of here for now.

[20:01] <NiteBrite> But lets find the door control. I must have hit it in the dark

[20:02] <MachDasher> Second!

[20:02] <DustyFeathers> "Oh right, only that I think this might actually be bigger than the cafeteria!"

[20:02] <NiteBrite> That's impossible

[20:02] * NiteBrite is serious

[20:02] <MarissaInaba> Right, motion carried. Let's hoof it! *turns tail and begins to run*

[20:02] <NMM> Leaving so soon~ MWAHAHAHA

[20:03] * MachDasher runs faster

[20:03] <DustyFeathers> "So, how come this box is so spacious?" Dusty looked around it curiously.

[20:03] * SolidGear glances at the others, "Hey, don't leave me here!!" she looks at the smoke worriedly, crawling away from it and towards the phonebooth.

[20:04] <NiteBrite> It- uhhhhh- I, umm

[20:04] <NiteBrite> See- uh

[20:04] <NiteBrite> I got nothing

[20:04] <MarissaInaba> Ack, right! *skids to a stop and goes back to help SG; mutters to herself* I am too nice for my own good.

[20:05] <NiteBrite> The smoke rises and swirls revealing a dark Alicorn, a pegasus unicorn. Her mane appears to be the starry night and flows like there is wind even though there

[20:06] <NiteBrite> is not

[20:06] <MarissaInaba> ._.

[20:06] * MachDasher leaves the overs to their fate

[20:06] <MachDasher> I'm nooot~

[20:06] * SolidGear stares up at the freakishly creepy-looking Alicorn, rather scared.

[20:06] <MarissaInaba> Anthrax, I take it back. Feel free to beat him at your leasure.

[20:07] <SolidGear> "Marissa....what do we do about her?"

[20:07] <MachDasher> Anthrax follows after Mach, "will do"

[20:08] <MachDasher> Anthrax also flees

[20:08] <MarissaInaba> Run? I dunno, I'm not prepared for this kinda situation!

[20:08] <NiteBrite> So what do we do now, Look around or try to leave?

[20:09] <SolidGear> "Uhm...I...can't really buck or anythin' at the moment, Marissa...what say we go into the booth?"

[20:09] <NMM> Is that anyway to address your Princess?

[20:09] <NMM> Kneel before me

[20:10] <MarissaInaba> *to SG* That also works!

[20:10] * SolidGear sits up straight at this, blinking, "Princess?" she looks aside to Marissa, "Hey, you remember a princess?"

[20:10] <NiteBrite> ()

[20:11] <MarissaInaba> *to creepy princess lady* Yeah not gonna happen any time soon, crazy princess pony lady. *she begins to try and wrestle the door open*

[20:11] * SolidGear stares at the creepy Alicorn for a while, pondering what's really going on here.

[20:12] <SolidGear> (())

[20:13] <NiteBrite> (())

[20:14] <NMM> Oh? You dare to take me lightly? *whistles*

[20:15] * MarissaInaba is panicking right now. "No ma'am, it's just I've got my pride is all."

[20:15] <MarissaInaba> *mutters* Dammit who locked this door.

[20:16] <NMM> (Shadowy forms surround the cafeteria. Faint growling noises can be heard.) (())

[20:16] <SolidGear> "Uhm...well, I've never met a princess before. It's...just, y'know, kinda rare"

[20:17] <MarissaInaba> ()

[20:17] <SolidGear> (())

[20:17] <NiteBrite> ()

[20:17] <SolidGear> ()

[20:18] <MarissaInaba> ()

[20:31] * NiteBrite closes the RP, cut log here
