<Sweetness> Did you say TARDIS?

<MarissaInaba> Yes?

<NiteBrite> SG, I want to go to the library before we leave

<Sweetness> How do you know about the TARDIS?

<NiteBrite> We came here in it?

<SolidGear> "Sure, Nite Brite." she says, looking over to Whiteout, "Want to come along? I'm sure we could use some help sorting through the books."

<MarissaInaba> Yeah, what he said.

<MarissaInaba> Wait, you know what it is?

• Whiteout shrugs at SolidGear. "I don't see why not. Beats flying around in the dark looking for zombies."

<Sweetness> Yes, but I thought it was just an old mare's tale

<Sweetness> So it's here then?

<MarissaInaba> Yes. In the gym.

• NiteBrite shakes dry from the watery oats.

<NiteBrite> Okay, lets go then

<Sweetness> And the Doctor? Is the doctor with you?

• SolidGear nods, "Right, off we go." and she heads off towards the library in the school.

<MarissaInaba> No. He's on the moon.

<MarissaInaba> As his name would imply.

<SolidGear> "Yes, he's now a Moon Doctor, as it were."

<Narrator> hall- no zombies in sight.

• SolidGear smirks to herself at that particular joke.

<SolidGear> hall -> library

• Whiteout trots off after Solid Gear, ducking the occasional bit of low ceiling.

<SolidGear> "So...Whiteout, is it? What was your job as a Pegasus Pony in the Weather center?"

<Sweetness> Huh, great granny hooves always just called him the doctor

<NiteBrite> cafe->hall

<MarissaInaba> Well, he called himself Docor Moon. So yeah. That's what I'm calling him, too.

• SolidGear is trotting as she talks, only mildly remembering where the library is.

<NiteBrite> Does it have to do with winter?

• Whiteout grins at Solid, a bit sheepishly. "Actually, I don't do weather much. Been working with Dad and my brothers in air cargo. We generally ony get called out to clout-wrangle for the big storms."

<Sweetness> Well the TARDIS was this game great granny made up based on the Doctors story.

<MarissaInaba> ._.

<MarissaInaba> I think we'll need some more details.

• Sweetness immitates pushing TARDIS controls

<Sweetness> Beep boop

<Sweetness> Into the future you go~

<SolidGear> "ah...really? I thought you'd have been one of those blizzard ponies..." she mutters, slightly disappointed.

<Sweetness> Bop beda click

<Sweetness> and back again

• Sweetness ends dancing

<Sweetness> it goes on like that for a while

<MarissaInaba> ._.

<MarissaInaba> ... Am I the only one thinking that this is really important?

<MarissaInaba> ... Am I the only one still here?

<NiteBrite> *redacted*

• Whiteout smiiiiles. "Oh, those are the 'fun' ones. Trying to fly while your primaries are icing over isn't easy."

<Narrator> NiteBrite leads them near the area where the ZombiePony was last spotted.

<MarissaInaba> ()

<SolidGear> "I'd imagine so...but it'd take a really strong pony to do such a thing. So I sorta guessed you would, uhm...well, do that?"

<NiteBrite> **

<SolidGear> (())

<NiteBrite> The library is just around the corner

• SolidGear is blushing slightly as she leaped to a rather inaccurate conclusion.

<MarissaInaba> Annnnd everyone left without us. Lovely.

<Sweetness> well, look on the bright side. Now we can look for something to carry the muffins

<Whiteout> Not a bad guess, really. I do love flying in the cold, just don't have much time to be weather working while there's stuff that wants hauling for the family.

<MarissaInaba> Yeah. And if I'm right, we may actually be able to have a chance at stoppin' this.

<MarissaInaba> >:]

<Narrator> hall->library: The library is fairly large, but several shelves have been knocked ober making it difficult to get inside

<Sweetness> really?

<MarissaInaba> Yup. I'm developing a cunning plan.

<nod> under one of the books was an orange pony

<Sweetness> So what are we standing around here for? Lead the way

<MarissaInaba> Well, first thing's first. Provisions! And that means muffins!

<SolidGear> <lib> "Yeah, true enough." she says, now in a more hushed tone as they're in the library. She hasn't yet noticed the fallen shelves.

<MarissaInaba> Remember, our safetey comes first. We need to eat, after all.

<NiteBrite> hal->lib: NB gawks at the chaos. "How are we going to find anything in this mess."

<MarissaInaba> Let's look around for some kinda bag we can put the muffins in.

<Sweetness> MUFFINS!

<Sweetness> Maybe someone dropped a backpack in class?

<MarissaInaba> That sounds like a plan. But we've gotta be careful of Zombies.

<Narrator> Zombie shuffles past library

<Whiteout> <lib> "Whew. Didn't know zombies had anything against books!" The joke may be on Whiteout, as he's not facing the zombie as it shuffles past.

• MarissaInaba begins to head off to the classrooms.

• Sweetness follows

• Sweetness derps

• SolidGear saw the zombiepony go by, and quickly drags Whiteout closer into the library...likely falling over and unintentionally making Whiteout fall on top of her.

<Sweetness> So which class do we check first?

<MarissaInaba> < caf -> hal > Wherever's closest.

<NiteBrite> NB, who also did not see the zombie is startled by SG pullung Whiteout on top of her

<NiteBrite> Shh

<zombiepony> *hears them fall* Gr?

<zombiepony> *pulling

<zombiepony> Narrator: Closest class is Math

• MarissaInaba heads to math then.

• Whiteout blinks, blushing slightly at suddenly finding himself on top of somepony else, then freezes at the sound of the zombiepony.

<zombiepony> hal->math: There are shapes of math decorating the walls. it is dark in the math room. The lights flicker

<zombiepony> *narrator

<MarissaInaba> <hal -> math> *whispering* Right. Let's be cautious.

<zombiepony> (())

• SolidGear stays quiet, glancing over Whiteout's back to see if the zompony does anything more...

<Sweetness> *opens a desk* Its a rotten banana

<nod> (()) *nod wakes up* hun wa is it morning already?

<MarissaInaba> Ew.

<zombiepony> *Math: lights flicker

<MarissaInaba> ._.

<NiteBrite> BAH ZOMPONY! NiteBrite yells spooked by Nod

• zombiepony definetly heard that

<zombiepony> Grrrr

• zombiepony heads towards the library

• zombiepony is noisy with the groans and shuffles

<nod> ZOMPONY where?! where?!

<Sweetness> Maybe this one? *opens to find a back pack*

<MarissaInaba> ._.

• SolidGear quickly scampers backwards away from the zompony, or at least she tries to but is slow due to Whiteout being on her.

<MarissaInaba> Er, I mean... find anything?

<SolidGear> "Great...I don't want to deal with a zompony right now..."

<NiteBrite> Oh! Oh thank goodness. Its just somepony with a book on his head

• Whiteout looks quickly around for another exit, then turns to face the Zomponi. "Aww, horseapples. Here we go again."

<Sweetness> Yeah *grabs backpack with teeth and turns to Marrisa* Ish a bahhpachh

<Sweetness> *The lights flicker

<MarissaInaba> Anything in it?

<MarissaInaba> Gah!

<nod> oh heh heh. i guess i fell asleep again.

<Sweetness> Let me see. *Opens* *disembodied zombie hoof pops out of the bag*

<Sweetness> O_O

<MarissaInaba> ._.

• SolidGear gets up to her hooves properly, standing behind Whiteout and not having noticed the orange pony that's with them there, "I hate zombies...they're made of decay and greasiness..."

• MarissaInaba grabs Sweetness by the tail and runs the hell away.

• Sweetness is dragged

<MarissaInaba> oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh RUN!!!

<zombiepony> Enters the library, "Anypony herrrrrre?"

<Sweetness> Oh, right, *RUNS*

<Sweetness> hal-> lockers

<NiteBrite> no~?

<MarissaInaba> < math-> hal >

<zombiepony> Oh okay then, *starts to shuffle away*

<Whiteout> o_O

<NiteBrite> Did, did that just work?

<nod> *whispers* that worked how did that work

<zombiepony> *Narrator, outside its quiet. Too quiet

<MarissaInaba> Quick get to the gym we can hide in the TARDIS.

<Sweetness> The muffins!

<MarissaInaba> We can get the muffins later!

• Sweetness stops to grab some.

• SolidGear blinks, whispering in slight awe, "What just happened?"

<zombiepony> *zombie hoof gets closer

<MarissaInaba> *screeches to a halt*

<MarissaInaba> Now is not the time... to...

<MarissaInaba> Huh.

<MarissaInaba> I just realized we're running from a disembodied hoof.

<NiteBrite> I don't know but lets get out of here

<zombiepony> *hoof hops closer*

<MarissaInaba> ._.

<nod> darn and i thought this was a safe place to hide

• SolidGear sighs, "didn't you want a book, Nite Brite?"

<Sweetness> I know, its so spooky.

<MarissaInaba> Do... do you think this is actually a threat?

<Sweetness> 9_6

<Sweetness> yes

• SolidGear looks around, then blinks and stares at the book that's sitting by the orange pony, then stares promptly at this new arrival, "Uhm...hi."

<NiteBrite> Yeah, but I got this bad feeling.

<MarissaInaba> Okay. Well, grab a buncha muffins, try not to drop any, and let's head to the TARDIS.

• Whiteout keeps his eyes on the door, for the most part, glancing back to wince at NiteBrite. "Oh, you said it. We're gonna get eaten."

<zombiepony> *book is on orange ponies head

<nod> oh hi guess i never introduced my self im nod

• Sweetness finishes packing the muffins as the zombie hoof jumps at Marissa!

<Sweetness> Look Out!

<MarissaInaba> gyaghgetitoffgetitoffGETITOFF

<MarissaInaba> *flail flail flail*

<SolidGear> "I'm Solid Gear...nice to meet you. Well, another straggler is good...strength in numbers?"

<zombiepony> *zombie hoof is flung into the roof. Causing it to crack.

<MarissaInaba> ._.

<Sweetness> Its going to fall.

<MarissaInaba> Ohhhhhh that's no good.

<MarissaInaba> Run?

<Sweetness> *pushes Marissa out of the way at the last minute

<MarissaInaba> gyah!

• SolidGear looks aside to Whiteout, then to Nite Brite, "Well, mind taking that book with you along? I think it's what we need."

<Sweetness> *roof barely misses them but now they have to go the long way to the cafeteria due to cave in

<MarissaInaba> Crap.

<MarissaInaba> It's blocking the way back to the TARDIS.

• NiteBrite checks the book.

<NiteBrite> Thats it! What luck.

<nod> shure thing *takes book off head*

<MarissaInaba> ()

<Sweetness> ()

<Sweetness> ()

• NiteBrite takes the book underwing.

<NiteBrite> Okay, now lets really get going

<MarissaInaba> Annd it's also blocking the way to the muffins.

<MarissaInaba> Crap.

<Sweetness> Well, it could be worse

• Whiteout nods, and heads over to the doorway, cautiously sticking his head into the hallway to check for lurking zombies.

<MarissaInaba> Don't ever say that.

• SolidGear sighs, "Yes, let's get going..."

<zombiepony> *hall is darker than usual, but no zombies appear to be in sight

<nod> *nod follows along*

<Sweetness> O-okay. Well, lets not stand around here in this dead-end

<MarissaInaba> You coulda used a better phrasing.

<zombiepony> *Nar: as the group rounds the corner, there is a large zombie mob waiting for them

<Whiteout> Looks clea... o_o

• SolidGear follows Whiteout and NiteBrite, then stops at seeing the huge mob of zomponies, "Uhm...run!" she shouts, quickly turning to dash off the opposite way.

<zombiepony> GRRR, Grrr, GrrRRr, Lunar Republiiiic, Ohhne offff ussssss, gr?

• NiteBrite takes flight and follows as he is faster in the air

<Whiteout> . o 0 ( Horde. Inside. Cantflyceilingintheway. Get the others out. )

<NiteBrite> *huff puff* So much running

<nod> yea run running sounds good

<Sweetness> Okay.

<MarissaInaba> Anyway, let's head for the gym. We'll have to go the long way, though.

<Sweetness> hal-> to in the path of the running group

<Sweetness> This way

<MarissaInaba> < hal -> other hal > Right!

• NiteBrite flys into Marrisa

<NiteBrite> *Crash*

<MarissaInaba> oofh!

<NiteBrite> DX

<MarissaInaba> @_@

<NiteBrite> Marrisa! You're alive

<SolidGear> hal -> more hal

<MarissaInaba> ... yes?

• SolidGear winds up crashing into Sweetness on accident, "oof...hey, good timing! Let's go to the Tardis...like, now."

<zombiepony> Shuffling zombie hoard comes into sight slowly: Geeet Thrrrrrem

<Sweetness> Drops the muffin backpack

<Sweetness> it slides towards the zombies

<MarissaInaba> *in a very quiet squeeky voice*

<MarissaInaba> oh.

<MarissaInaba> ._.

• Whiteout hears the crash ahead and skids to a stop, desperately trying to airbrake with his wings. "GET UP AND MOVE!"

• SolidGear looks at the muffin pack, "Is that...our food supplies?"

<Sweetness> (())

<NiteBrite> R-Right! *flrrds faster*

<Sweetness> Muffins!

• SolidGear gets up, helping Sweetness as well, "I'll get movin'...but we need that pack!"

<Sweetness> *points to backpack eith hoof*

<Sweetness> *With

• MarissaInaba yeah the backpack can go die, she runs like a scared little girl

• Whiteout is getting a bit wide-eyed at this point, but nods. "I've got it, get the hay out of here!"

<Sweetness> *nods* 9_6 okay 6_9

<SolidGear> "Got it! I'll help Sweetness here." and thus she helps drag Sweetness with her back towards where the TARDIS is.

<Sweetness> (())

<SolidGear> (())

• NiteBrite goes to the door control

• SolidGear sighs once arriving at the Tardis, "Whew...made it...with time to spare, too."

<NiteBrite> I'll close the door once Whiteout is inside

• zombiepony get closer to the backpack. It's a race!

<MarissaInaba> *into the TARDIS; continues on farther in at top speed*

<nod> *looks at the TARDIS* how will we all fit

<zombiepony> *Marissa runs into the next room, it has a swimming pool

<Whiteout> "Here goes nothing..." Witht that, he turns back for the backpack, ducking to snag it with his teeth. Hooves slide in the debris on the floor as he desperately tries to get traction before runing straight into the zombies...

• MarissaInaba attempts to come to a stop; fails miserably*

<MarissaInaba> *SPLOOOOOOOOSH!*

• zombiepony scatter like bowling pins giving Whiteout a small opening. to run

<SolidGear> "It's larger inside, trust me." she states, dragging Sweetness with her into the Tardis.

<Sweetness> NO I CAN'T LEAVE THEM! Those poor poor dears!

• Sweetness is dragged

<SolidGear> "They're fine, Sweetness. I'm certain Whiteout can take care of those muffins. He's a delivery Pony, after all."

<nod> okay then *runs inside

• zombiepony start to get back up.

• Whiteout is more than happy to take the opportunity to run, taking off back down the hallway with his best turn of speed.

<zombiepony> *Nod will notice the TARDIS is very large inside. Larger than even the hallway he was in.

<zombiepony> The zombies are only a half trot behind him.

<zombiepony> Acceppt Nightmarrress lovveeeee

<zombiepony> Jooinus.

<zombiepony> *other chants*

• SolidGear is busy with looking at the console, using her technical knowledge to figure out what does what without randomly pressing buttons.

<Sweetness> *sniffs* kay.

<Whiteout> "Talk about looking for love in all the wrong places!"

• MarissaInaba climbs out of the pool

<MarissaInaba> >_<

• MarissaInaba heads into the main room dripping wet

<NiteBrite> I remember this is the door control SG, and this is the radio but.... ARG, why didn't Dr. Moon leave a manual or something

<nod> *stairs the ... well everything before falling asleep due to mind over load*

<MarissaInaba> Sweetness knows how it works.

• Sweetness derp

<MarissaInaba> Anyone got a towel?

<Sweetness> What do you mean?

<MarissaInaba> The dance your grandmare tought you.

<SolidGear> "She does?" asks a perplexed SG, then she opens up a slot on her metal leg and produces a towel, "Here."

<Sweetness> you mean TARDIS?

<MarissaInaba> Yes.

<MarissaInaba> And thank you.

• SolidGear smirks, "Wouldn't be caught without it...first rule of hitchhiking after all."

<MarissaInaba> Yeah, yeah.

<zombiepony> (())

<Whiteout> About this time, the steadily growing clatter of hooves outside is joined with a shout of "INCOMING!!!", followed shortly by a large white pegasus bouncing off the side of the doorframe and into the TARDIS.

• NiteBrite flips the door control timing it so that Whiteout just barely slips through.

<NiteBrite> *bam*

<MarissaInaba> Anyway, I think that your grandmare travelled with Doctor Moon back before he lost the TARDIS to Nightmare Moon.

<MarissaInaba> And that dance she tought you wasn't a dance.

<zombiepony> The zombies run into the side of the TARDIS. Ooof Grrr!

<MarissaInaba> It was how to operate the TARDIS.

<Sweetness> Of course! ... what?

<NiteBrite> there. Safe

<MarissaInaba> The TARDIS is a time machine.

• SolidGear sighs, then looks to Sweetness, "Your knowledge will help us operate the Tardis...which is what we're in right now."

<zombiepony> Grrr *shakes the tardis but can't get in*

<MarissaInaba> That's what Doctor Moon told us, anyway.

• Whiteout slides to a stop, nervously fluttering his wings a bit as if to make sure they're still attached. "Whew... nice timing there, Nite."

<NiteBrite> *brohoof*

<Whiteout> *brohoof*

<nod> *snore*

<Sweetness> I guess its worth a shot

<SolidGear> "Good...I'll help if you need it."

• Sweetness trots over to the controls.

<MarissaInaba> I really hope this works.

• SolidGear shrugs lightly, "If it does, then we're all in for a wacky ride."

<MarissaInaba> Zombies are anything but wacky. *eyetwitch*

<Sweetness> Ummm.. *Begins the dance* Beep Boop Into the future you go. *presses the blue thingy that Dr moon showed them before

<Sweetness> *

<MarissaInaba> *she does not like zombies*

• Whiteout eyes the backpack. "What the hay is in here that's so important anyway?"

<MarissaInaba> Muffins.

<Whiteout> ...

<MarissaInaba> Lots of Muffins.

<TARDIS> *whirs*

<NiteBrite> Its working

• SolidGear sighs, "Yes, muffins. The most important meal for any of us."

<TARDIS> *lurches sideways* And its off!

<MarissaInaba> Hey, don't you laugh. Those are what we have to eat.

• SolidGear braces herself on the ground as much as she can as the Tardis lurches.

<nod> *falls down and wakes up* whats going on?

<MarissaInaba> Woah! *tips over*

<Sweetness> (())

<Whiteout> (())

<MarissaInaba> (())

<SolidGear> (())

• Sweetness closes the RP, cut log here
