Azrael levitated several ingredients over to them and made Blackened a drink that went a little something like this: 4 oz. of Pegasi Rum 4 oz. pineapple juice 1 oz. cream of coconut 1 oz. orange juice Grated fresh nutmeg
RepB: (Reversing the soundproofing on the bar.) Alright I'm going to redirect my attention elsewhere. (Vanishes)
"I'll play with you until Raven comes back down," Dusty said. Maya shrugged, pulled down the projector, set up a console and began playing the old-school fighter with her husband to pass the time.
"Have some more," Azrael suggested to Selena. Then, turning to Blackened, "Did you do that just to distract me?"
It took a bit of forceful encouragement to convince the rookies to attack Asmo properly, but in the end, they turned in an admirable performance. Of course, they lost, but they did put up a hell of a fight. **************************************************************** "... three... two... one... Happy birthday, Raven." ******************************************************************* Moonshine was busy with Raven's armor when Rep appeared. "Evening. What's up?" **************************************************************************** Rain walked into the bar with Navaja and sat down. ******************************************************************** The angry-looking unicorn was greeted by a hyperactive pink mare as he headed for the door. "Hi! Are you with the band? I'm super-excited to hear you guys tonight! Did you know there's going to be a big battle during the party?"
"Well..." Asmo cackled. "You scrubs sure put up a hell of a fight. Buuuut... Too much hesitation. What's gonna happen when something even meaner than me is coming to legit kill you?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "That reminds me." Maya glanced at Azrael. "Az, can you punch the code '7731' into the cash safe when Rave gets back?" Azrael nodded. "I suppose, if standing up is too hard for you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Thanks, babe..." Raven smirked, shifting to sit on Nightshade's lap, facing her, and touching their noses together. "Think I wanna unwrap my present now." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Navaja sat down next to her and let out a sigh. "How about wine and conversation before the end?"
Rep: I have a suggestion for armour. It'll increase durability and defense and the users own natural abilities, and depending on if they use it correctly, grant them some extra abilities.
"We'll... ow...we'll let Princess Twilight and her friends handle it," one of the recruits said as he climbed to his hooves. "That is literally our default defense strategy." *************************************************************************** Nightshade leaned in, thought for a moment, and shook her head. "Fade to black, losers." She grinned. "Now, where were we...?" FADE TO BLACK, LOSERS **************************************************************************** "That sounds lovely," Rain replied.
Asmo growled. "WOW, you guys are smart. If Twily and her band of merry friendos could handle it all by themselves, would we really need this big a force? My friend, we're facing something you might never see again. We're facing something the Elements can't sort out by themselves in a half hour or so. Queue the dramatic music." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lesbian horse noises. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Navaja called over to Windsor, ordering over a large bottle of wine. He then leaned back against the bar, stretching his back. "...I still can't believe what happened on the pole."
"But why us? If the Princesses can't handle it, what hope do we have?" ****************************************************************** Noises continue. Downstairs, stuff falls off the walls. Honestly, those two need to keep it down. ****************************************************************** Rain nodded. "I know. I'm still trying to process it." She sighed. "It's strange to think of him as being gone. It hurts." ******************************************** Moonshine nodded. "I usually use enchantments to augment my armors. You know another method?"
"You've got every worthwhile fighter on the whole planet here, and you're asking what chance you have? You don't see how the Princesses plus everypony else stands a better chance than just the Princesses?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maya cringed. "Are..." "She's eighteen," Dusty reminded. "Just as long as she doesn't catch anything, we've no right to complain." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I know..." Navaja poured her a glass. "I understand. And I'm sorry."
Selena: (hearing all this, and becomes upset.) I don't care how old they are or even what they are. I don't want to hear this. I'm out of here. (Gets up, takes a lager, grabs her guitar and walks out the door in a hurry) Rep: (materializes a glowing orb, with strands flowing off of it.) Embed some of these into each piece.
