[FactionRP] The Pom Patrol [Pom]

[0Zero100]

"Dandy, please... I got this."

Straightening out his tie, Zero steps forward and asks Aster "Hello, and indeed I AM Zero. Pleasure to make your acquaintance M'lady."

Zero bows a small bow, more like leans his top half forward a bit while keeping his legs held firm and stretching an arm out to the side.

Zero bows a small bow, more like leans his top half forward a bit while keeping his legs held firm and stretching an arm out to the side.

Aster pauses a bit, taken aback, before starting to chuckle. "Ah, I'm afraid I'm no lady, friend. It's an understandable mistake though, I get that sometimes..."

He takes a moment to run his hoof through his somewhat feminine mane before turning to Dandy.

"Beg pardon but, have I done something to offend you...? I can't help but notice this... air of hostility." he notes ever so innocently. "Oh wait, of course... you probably noticed we're here uninvited."

He humbly bows. "My sincerest apologies for barging in as we did. Our journey was a long one and we didn't foresee arriving in this region on the same day as the Gala. We simply couldn't bear waiting any longer to make our proposal, I hope you'll understand." He gives a friendly smile as he finishes, "Rest assured, there'll be no more trickery from us this evening. I swear on the Light."

"I saw what you did to the receptionist, and after that, it'll take more than your word to get me to trust you. I mean, hypnotizing her really wasn't a great first impression. But if you want space to truly convince me that you're just "misunderstood," then I'll back up. Just know that I won't let you or your troupe out of my sight."

But if you want space to truly convince me that you're just "misunderstood," then I'll back up. Just know that I won't let you or your troupe out of my sight."

Aster pauses and stares blankly at Dandy; he perhaps didn't realize anyone saw that. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly waves his hoof.

"You didn't see anything..." he slowly states.

He then bursts into laughter and gives the sheep a nudge. "Kidding, kidding! Ahaha... ah, maybe that was in poor taste..." he stops to clear his throat before continuing. "But yes, my apologies for that. My group and I, we tend to believe the ends justify the means, you see..."

He leaves that statement hanging in the air for a moment.

"...Don't worry about her by the way, she'll be quite alright. That trick never lasts for more than a minute or so. "

 

[CactusPearGamer]

"My point still stands. Go and give me a good reason to trust you, and I shall. And don't touch Zero."

 

[0Zero100]

"Oh... well then, you're a very beautiful male. And don't worry about the whole hypnosis thing, I can forgive and forget. Prophet knows I certainly don't have a clean slate... regrettably."

Zero's eyes droop a bit, then hides it and says "I'm interested in how you came to hear about the council and just why your group decided that YOU should be the rep, if you don't mind me asking."

 

[BypenThynDragon]

Fluffy blinks

Darn you win, whelp see you latter An,

Fluffy heads back to the crowd around the Unicorn and watches, and begins to look a little jealous after Zero says.

"Oh... well then, you're a very beautiful male."

 

[The Yaski]

(Whoops! Forgot it was my turn.)

Fluffy blinks

Darn you win, whelp see you latter An,

Fluffy heads back to the crowd around the Unicorn and watches, and begins to look a little jealous after Zero says.

An waves a hoof at Fluffy as she leaves. "See you then. Try not to make as much of a mess next time." he calls after Fluffy, taking his punch cup in one hoof as he turns his eyes back to the buffet.

 

[BypenThynDragon]

(Whoops! Forgot it was my turn.)

OOC: The most said statement said in chess

 

[Stunthead]

After giving himself some time to recover from his inebriation, Fleece returns to the gala and takes to the stage. The music is dimmed and he calls for the attention of the attendees.

"Greetings, Sheeple! And Reindeer. And Longma, and unicorns and demons and lynxes and boars and bear- anyway! The baking contest will be beginning in thirty minutes, so all participants are invited to take their places. Basic ingredients will be lent to you, but any unique ingredients must be gathered yourselves. So if you don't have what you need... start runnin'. You can make whatever you want as long as it is SAFE for consumption. Also, I shouldn't have to say this, but I'm going to... please don't break the kitchen equipment, and please don't assault each other. If you murder anyone during the competition you will face a 15 point penalty."
...
"I'm just kidding. You will be disqualified. And arrested. The competition will be judged by..."

Fleece realizes he never actually picked a judge.

"Uh... by... by our esteemed head of council, Dungeon Miner! If that's okay... Heh... Good Luck! Please stop causing problems..." Fleece steps off the stage and the gala resumes.

Weylyn lets his hunger get the better of himself, and approaches Fleece with a question, ignoring the representative of the light who he was dragged into a conversation with while trying to fulfill that need. "By 'safe for consumption', do you mean safe for ungulate consumption?"

Weylyn lets his hunger get the better of himself, and approaches Fleece with a question, ignoring the representative of the light who he was dragged into a conversation with while trying to fulfill that need. "By 'safe for consumption', do you mean safe for ungulate consumption?"

"...I hope you're not suggesting that the head boar eat meat. When I said baking contest I was talking more about... cakes and biscuits and things. But if you wanna bake yourself a fish casserole, feel free."

 

[BypenThynDragon]

"...I hope you're not suggesting that the head boar eat meat. When I said baking contest I was talking more about... cakes and biscuits and things. But if you wanna bake yourself a fish casserole, feel free."

Fluffy overhears Fleece and groans walking up to Fleece carrying a body of a Ungulate covered in knifes, hunter's mark imbedded on the carcass forehead.

But what am I suppose to do with this???

 

[Stunthead]

Fleece recoils, then turns away from the gruesome body.

"Oh for... Fluffy... please, PLEASE tell me this is not a fresh corpse... please tell me you pulled that out of a portal and you didn't just drag that in from outside..."

 

[BypenThynDragon]

Fleece recoils, then turns away from the gruesome body.

"Oh for... Fluffy... please, PLEASE tell me this is not a fresh corpse... please tell me you pulled that out of a portal and you didn't just drag that in from outside..."

Fluffy smiles at Fleece

Oh no this isn't fresh, as you can see there is no blood, I already used it all, pulse a few organs, and there is no way I could cut off most of the fur off that quickly, I mean I'm skilled but that's ridicules, and ...

Fluffy starts rambling bout the body and how to reasons it is clearly (to her at least) an old body instead of a new one.

 

[Stunthead]

Fleece stops Fluffy's rambling with a raise of his hoof. He places the other hoof against his temple to soothe his aching head.

"...Fluffy. How... DARE you... suggest that we use a CORPSE in a baking contest. Let alone bring a corpse to a gala. LET ALONE bring a corpse to the Pom Patrol AT ALL. It isn't cute, it isn't charming, it's horrific and tragic! Have I not stressed over and over how fragile my Sheeple can be?"

Fleece takes pause.

"Look, I'm sure whatever happened was in self defense, but you have NO excuse to parade that corpse around like some sort of prize. I am NOT impressed! I hope..."

"..."

"I hope you enjoy the rest of your time at the Gala. Because after tonight... you are banished from all Pom Patrol territory. This is not negotiable."

 

[TheOneZeelOne]

"Oh... well then, you're a very beautiful male. And don't worry about the whole hypnosis thing, I can forgive and forget. Prophet knows I certainly don't have a clean slate... regrettably."

Zero's eyes droop a bit, then hides it and says "I'm interested in how you came to hear about the council and just why your group decided that YOU should be the rep, if you don't mind me asking."

"Word travels very slowly to our parts, it's true... but word does travel." Aster explains. "I realize it likely sounds crazy but, the appearances of the champions, the burgeoning factions, the forming of the Council, the Giraffe War... all of it only came to our attention but a week ago. As for how, well... you may not have seen them, as they've laid quite low as it were, but there are a scant hooffull of unicorns that have been staying in this region. Through the connection of the Light, we are able to see through their eyes and hear through their ears."

He takes a moment to give a meaningful peak back towards his comrades...

"...As for me, well... us unicorns tend to put quite a bit of stock into lineage." he continues, turning back to Zero. "It just so happens that I descend from the great Viburnum, the Unicorn who, eons ago, sealed away the Orricevan Orb, an object infused with the wicked power of the Devourer himself. Had the Predators stayed in possession of it, putting them into the Hold would've been impossible."

He chuckles quietly. "Ah, but I don't plan to stand on the shoulders of giants my entire life, rest assured. I look quite forward to building my own legacy..."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weylyn lets his hunger get the better of himself, and approaches Fleece with a question, ignoring the representative of the light who he was dragged into a conversation with while trying to fulfill that need. "By 'safe for consumption', do you mean safe for ungulate consumption?"

Zeel had just been sitting around glumly after his conversation with Feanor, until he saw Fleece's announcement. After approaching, he noticed Weylyn's state. Taking the hint, he came over towards him.

"Hey, Weylyn... I'm sorry. I should've brought this up sooner." he states quietly. "If you're hungry, well, I can help. I've been wanting to show you my discovery ever since we reunited at the Council, but well..."

He takes a moment to look around to make sure no one's listening. "...I think it's perfectly fine, but I worry how some might react to this. Would you mind speaking to me in private...?"

He gestures towards one of the vacant meeting rooms.

 

[Mighty Alicorn Hunter]

"...I hope you're not suggesting that the head boar eat meat. When I said baking contest I was talking more about... cakes and biscuits and things. But if you wanna bake yourself a fish casserole, feel free."

Weylyn snaps back to reality. "Ooh, of course not. I was just... nevermind."

"I hope you enjoy the rest of your time at the Gala. Because after tonight... you are banished from all Pom Patrol territory. This is not negotiable."

Weylyn looks a bit concerned, but then becomes a bit joyful momentarily. "Banned from two places already Fluffy? You get banned from too many more, I'm gonna have to start sneaking you in!"

Weylyn turns to his leader intrigued. "I believe I can do that, I will follow."

"I hope you enjoy the rest of your time at the Gala. Because after tonight... you are banished from all Pom Patrol territory. This is not negotiable."

Fluffy looks at fleece then just walks towards Weylyn's spot and leaves the coupse there, not saying a single word in response, but a clear look of sadness

Someone's a bit uptight, anyways I heard you were hungry so I brought you this,

Fluffy then see's Zeel approaching and Fluffy starts to leave

Well have fun, and don't you worry I'll get banned from two more places by the end of the week.

-------------------------

Zack appears in front of Fleece, a small frown seen on his face

That was a little over the top Prime minister, don't you think, as you can see

Zack points at Fluffy giving Weylyn the dead body.

Fluffy wasn't going too eat the body, she is a monster don't get me wrong, but she isn't a cannibal

Zack leans close to Fleece and whispers into his ear,

and do me a favor make sure Miner doesn't eat Fluffy's pie

Zack points over to a pie on the judge table, the pie is green, has worms crawling threw it and literal stink lines can be seen rising from it.

If anything Fluffy's cooking is more tariffing then that body she brought to Whylyn as a gift.

"Th-thanks Fluffy." Weylyn realizes that all eyes in the room are staring at that corpse... staring at him.
Weylyn turns to Zeel "Can you help me pull this Hunter? I think it needs to be removed from the room post haste."

 

[TheOneZeelOne]

OOC: I thought it told you when someone responded while you were making a post on these boards... Let's just say this happened after that was done I suppose.

Weylyn turns to his leader intrigued. "I believe I can do that, I will follow."

The two of them make their way into the room, and Zeel makes sure to close the door behind him.

He turns and notices the table in the middle of the room. "Ah, convenient..."

He produces a plate and lies it on the table. Turning to Weylyn, he can't help but smile. "I'm not sure if you remember, but I first mentioned this idea the day we met. I've been working on it ever since and... I finally have it figured out."

He takes a few steps back and prepares his book. "I've only managed this once in practice so it may take a moment..."

He focuses on the plate, his book hovering a few feet from his head. Slowly a dark aura surrounds him and steadily grows. His own flesh seems to start brimming with a peculiar radiance, shimmering even through his wool.

As the book starts to shake around him, first slowly, then swiftly, his legs begin to tremble. For a moment he starts to collapse, but he's able to catch himself.

After a few more moments of deep concentration, he's able to engulf the plate in a wave of dark energy and on it, forms... something. Something... sizzling.

As the aura leaves Zeel, he falls to the floor, gasping. Out of breath, exhausted... yet, quite pleased. After a couple of attempts, he's able to pull himself to his feet.

"Th-this..." he starts, gesturing towards the plate. "This is... well it's, it's..."

He gazes towards it and pauses. The look of it is a bit more unsettling to him than he expected. So... real.

"It's... meat." he utters, still in the process of catching his breath. "Seems like it even comes pre-cooked... I let, I let a pup eat the first test and he was perfectly fine. So it seems safe. And, well... the book I found the spell in doesn't say if it's meant to be like any specific creature... which is perhaps for the best, but supposedly it's... delicious."

He looks towards his close comrade expectantly. "Would you uh, like to try it?"

The two of them make their way into the room, and Zeel makes sure to close the door behind him.

He turns and notices the table in the middle of the room. "Ah, convenient..."

He produces a plate and lies it on the table. Turning to Weylyn, he can't help but smile. "I'm not sure if you remember, but I first mentioned this idea the day we met. I've been working on it ever since and... I finally have it figured out."

Weylyn looks at the dish intently. "I think you may want to leave the room now. I'll tell you about it later"

 

[TheOneZeelOne]

Weylyn looks at the dish intently. "I think you may want to leave the room now. I'll tell you about it later"

"Ah, well if you insist."

He steps out of the room, stumbling just a bit, and waits outside the door.

 

[Mighty Alicorn Hunter]

From outside that door, Aster was approached by Dandy.
"Hey! I told you I wouldn't let you out of my sight! Wait, why so exhausted-looking? Gasp! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH WEYLEN?"

OOC: That was Zeel, not Aster. I understand the confusion

 

[CactusPearGamer]

...I'll just delete that post.

"I'm sorry Zack. But two incidents in one night is more than I can take. And besides... it's not just her. It's those assassins she has after her too. What if a fight broke out and an innocent sheep got caught in the crossfire? I might reconsider once the assassination attempts stop, but not before. Until then, Fluffy is still free to visit The Meadow as she pleases, just not official Pom Patrol spaces."

Zack nods

Understandable your looking out for your people as I look out for Fluffy, but what you said, your outburst hurt her, and I only hope time will heal

And with that note Zack wisps away in a cloud of smoke.

 

[Mighty Alicorn Hunter]

Weylyn slinks out of the room and as best he can blend into the crowds of ungulates with a hint of dread upon his face.
After some time, he is able to find Zeel among the other sheep and tries to commune with him without drawing too much attention.
"I should have told you sooner, but... Never do that again."
Weylyn looks at Zeel with clear determination in his face. "I can't ask you to sacrifice for me. I saw what it did to you and I didn't say anything. I could say that was because you were trying to do me a favor and turning it down would be rude, but I'd be lying."
Weylyn looks away in shame. "I didn't say anything because I was hungry, and you were fulfilling that need."
"Zeel, I want you to make sure that it isn't just safe for the predators that eat it, but for the ungulates that conjure it... I don't want you to force it and end up dying just because of me or predators like me. We'd be no different than those that would hunt ungulates outright, and I would be devastated if you died."
Weylyn wears that same look of dread, with his ears tilting sideways like a bull's horns. "Promise me that you won't push yourself so hard... that you won't try to do too much too fast and lose everything."

OOC: Something I was thinking of adding last time, just because this is something that might not really be able to come out naturally; the reason the spell takes the toll it does is because it, not necessarily takes, but makes use of the users' lifeforce. The meat itself depends entirely on who makes it because of this, and as a result tastes different. What I'm trying to say is... it becomes effectively the exact same as their own meat. Zeel spawned Sheeple meat. Juuust FYI~


IC:


"Oh... Weylyn, I appreciate the concern and I'm sorry for the scare. But I was never in any danger." Zeel places a hoof on his shoulder to try and ease him. "It didn't harm me, really, it was just... draining. It takes a lot of energy, as many powerful spells do."

He slowly pulls him away from the crowd as he speaks. "Trust me, I know my limits. I won't push myself to anything I can't handle. It's not something I'm ready to do every day right now, obviously. But understand, I still have a lot of room to grow as a mage. With time, with practice, it should get much easier... perhaps to the point to where it's as easy as lifting my book. Even that was a chore my first day..." Zeel notes, as he effortlessly levitates his tome around his head.

He wistfully gazes to the side as he continues, "We've spoken about this, how what works for a race of dogs and a scant few other predators is likely not enough for an entire population's worth of carnivores. If the peace we seek is to come to pass, we need other solutions and I... I know it's still a long ways off from even resembling sustainability. The amount of ungulates who'd need to learn this skill and dedicate themselves to mastering it in order to provide enough, it's... overwhelming to imagine. But as is so often the case... before it gets to a million, it has to start with one. And to put it simply, it's a start."

He turns back to Weylyn, an unexpected excitement brimming in his eyes. "And that's just it! After so long of being nothing but a what-if, it's actually a start...! It won't be easy, but it's possible, we have proof now that it's possible!" Zeel grabs him by the shoulders, tears of joy starting to well. "There's... there's hope! And that's all I need to know to make it all worth it!"

OOC: Something I was thinking of adding last time, just because this is something that might not really be able to come out naturally; the reason the spell takes the toll it does is because it, not necessarily takes, but makes use of the users' lifeforce. The meat itself depends entirely on who makes it because of this, and as a result tastes different. What I'm trying to say is... it becomes effectively the exact same as their own meat. Zeel spawned Sheeple meat. Juuust FYI~

"Oh... Weylyn, I appreciate the concern and I'm sorry for the scare. But I was never in any danger." Zeel places a hoof on his shoulder to try and ease him. "It didn't harm me, really, it was just... draining. It takes a lot of energy, as many powerful spells do."

He slowly pulls him away from the crowd as he speaks. "Trust me, I know my limits. I won't push myself to anything I can't handle. It's not something I'm ready to do every day right now, obviously. But understand, I still have a lot of room to grow as a mage. With time, with practice, it should get much easier... perhaps to the point to where it's as easy as lifting my book. Even that was a chore my first day..." Zeel notes, as he effortlessly levitates his tome around his head.

He wistfully gazes to the side as he continues, "We've spoken about this, how what works for a race of dogs and a scant few other predators is likely not enough for an entire population's worth of carnivores. If the peace we seek is to come to pass, we need other solutions and I... I know it's still a long ways off from even resembling sustainability. The amount of ungulates who'd need to learn this skill and dedicate themselves to mastering it in order to provide enough, it's... overwhelming to imagine. But as is so often the case... before it gets to a million, it has to start with one. And to put it simply, it's a start."

He turns back to Weylyn, an unexpected excitement brimming in his eyes. "And that's just it! After so long of being nothing but a what-if, it's actually a start...! It won't be easy, but it's possible, we have proof now that it's possible!" Zeel grabs him by the shoulders, tears of joy starting to well. "There's... there's hope! And that's all I need to know to make it all worth it!"

OOC: I figured that was the case, I just didn't want to jump to conclusions. Zeel was delicious

IC:

"Your right, I should be happier. This is proof that our cause is not lost. I was just worried that you were killing yourself to achieve it. If you say that this isn't bringing you permanent harm, then I will not object to your practice of it. Though, maybe later you could teach me how to recreate this spell, and explain how it works exactly." Weylyn appears to have stopped worrying so much about it.
"Well, we have much to celebrate. I hope you don't find this odd, but would you care to dance? I think it'd be nice to just... relax a bit. And go easy on me, my wounds still haven't healed fully." Weylyn holds out a paw to Zeel, with a grin plastered on his face.

Zeel takes a moment to wipe the forming tear from his eye as he scans the room.

"Sorry about that, let my emotions get the best of me there. I'd be happy to teach you. And uh, can't say I expected that but sure, I suppose that'd be alright."

Zeel accepts his paw. "Heh, can't say I've done this too much..."

"I haven't had much practice either. Respite is something we may not get often, so it is best to make the most of it. It's a lesson I've been needing to learn for a while."
"...But enough dwelling, time to settle back and have fun."
Weylyn gave Zeel a twirl, and while onlookers stared and scoffed at the dark duo, Weylyn didn't care. He was right where he needed to be, by his master's side, and just for a moment, he could make himself believe that everything was alright.
OOC2: ...up till his stitches broke...
OOC: I think that it's about time for me to take a more passive role in this event. It's gone on pretty long. I'll still respond, but I'll more or less try to wind everything down to it's conclusion if possible.

OOC: Sorry but whose turn is it??? This form needs some life or a way to rnd the party I've done all the chaos i want.

 

[CactusPearGamer]

"So..." Dandy says. "...Do you wish to bake that receptionist an apology cake, Aster? Or whatever baked goods you will make in this bake-off? If you do, I just might give you a chance."

 

[Stunthead]

OOC: I'm itching to get that baking contest started, so if your character is taking part, sound off now.

 

[CactusPearGamer]

"Ughh, I'll take your silence as a no." Dandy says to Aster.

Dandy will not be participating.

 

[TheOneZeelOne]

"Ah, no, just one moment..." Aster responds, having spent the last few moments fidgeting his horn around. "I just need a moment to ah, remember where I put my entry..."

After a couple more seconds, he slowly levitates some angel food cake from around the back of his head. Cake that very definitely was not just now spawned into existence through light magic. "Ah, here we are! Shall this suffice~?"
