Nebula #16 (CYOA)

You continue to move your hoof up and down in her, getting her to continue moaning and panting as her climax starts to build.
When her walls start to contract as she was getting closer to her climax you stop moving your hoof.
"Let's see how hard I can make you cum for your birthday." You whisper into her ear with a smile.
You then jam your hoof into her a bit more. She screams as she climaxes, her walls squeezing your hoof and squirting marecum onto your hoof and a bit on your lap.
Her orgasm ceases after ten seconds. Leaving her panting, and laying her head on your chest.

What do you do?

>>29857945
Lick the marecum off your hoof.

>>29857973
You pull your hoof out from Quiet Vine, getting her to take a sharp inhale of air when you pull it out.
You bring it up to your face and start licking the marecum off your hoof. She simply stares at you as you do this.
You're about halfway through licking your hoof off when you feel something envelop your cock.
Looking down at it, you find that Quiet Vine's magic has surrounded your dick.

What do you do?

>>29858083
Glad to see your magic is still working. Give her a kiss. Try and share some of her cum with her.

>>29858113
"Glad to see your magic is still working." You tell her.
You lick the rest of the marecum off your hoof and store it in your mouth before giving her a kiss, which she accepts. Sharing her cum between the two of you.
Meanwhile: Using her magic, she begins to gently stroke your shaft.

What do you do?

>>29858198
Play with her teats.

>>29858206
You lower your hooves down and start playing with her teats, getting her to moan into your mouth as the kiss continues. Her magic starts to go faster on your cock.
This is how it goes for several minutes: Kissing, playing with her teats, and getting a hoofjob with magic instead.
You soon start to feel a familiar pressure coming up through your cock.

What do you do?

>>29858293
Cum.

>>29858321
The two of you continue like normal.
The pressure is soon released, your cock releasing three ropes of cum. All landing on Quiet Vine's belly and hip.
"Was that good?" Quiet Vine asks; breaking the kiss.

What do you do?

>>29858392
It was great.

We should probably get cleaned up and go ask Moana what he knows about this fungus. He said he used to be travelling with several other ships but they all fell to it.

>>29858426
"It was great," You tell her, "We should probably get cleaned up and go ask what Moana knows about the fungus. He said he use to travel with several other ships, but they all fell to it."
"Okay," She nods; still panting a bit, "Maybe we can finish up a bit later? I am the birthday mare after all."

What do you do?

>>29858515
Give her a grin
I am sure I can find room for the birthday girl in my busy schedule.

>>29858537
You grin at her.
"I'm sure I can find room for the birthday girl in my busy schedule." You tell her.
She smiles and gives you a kiss on the cheek.

What do you do?

>>29858599
Go get cleaned up and go talk to Moana with Vine.

>>29858623
You and Quiet Vine go get cleaned up the shower really quick and then head off to talk to Moana.
After some time searching for him the two of you find him hanging out with the pets in the animal holding room.
"You have cool pets." He comments when you find him.

What do you do?

>>29858702
Yep we found them on the very first planet we visited on our journy. Now Moana I need you to tell Vine here everything you know about that fungus so she can keep us safe.

>>29858732
"Yep," You smile, "We found them on the very first planet we visited on our journey. Now Moana: I need you tell Vine here everything you know about the fungus so she can keep us safe."
Moana nods, looking towards Quiet Vine.
"You think you could tell me the symptoms," Quiet Vine asks, "The signs when they got sick."
"They'd first start coughing," Moana starts, "Nothing strange, just a normal cough, you know. Then their coughs start to come up with blood. Then lots of vomit, almost none stop for several hours. Then they'd go to sleep, not wake up, but still alive. Their veins would bulge a bit when this happened, sometimes the veins would..."
He quickly shakes his head, pushing that thought away.
"They'd die two days after they fall asleep. The fungus would then grow on their bodies very rapidly, spreading to every object touching the body as well."
"When did it first start?" Quiet Vine asks.
"I don't know," Moana replies, "It just sort of... appeared one day. Like it just popped into existence."
"How long would the sickness last for?"
"Four to five days. Longer if medicine is given."
"Who did the fungus usually go after?"
"Mostly kids at first then it went to the adults."
"Were there cases of people recovering after they... went to sleep?"
"A few, they were rare though. I was one of them though: Got sick, went to sleep, and then I woke up. If they did the fungus wouldn't go after them."

What do you do?

>>29858867
There is not really our area. Leave vine to it.

Go talk to Kahurangi about what she thinks of Moana.

>>29858885
Since this wasn't really your area you decide to leave Vine to it.
You decide to find Kahurangi, you find her in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal that she seemed to like now.
"Hey Kah."
"Yeah?"
"What do you think of Moana?" You ask.
"He's nice," She smiles, "He's quite a bit of fun to be around, but he's quiet most of the time, which concerns me a bit."

What do you do?

>>29858947
It is probably just his reaction to what happened. He was having much more hardship before then then you had before what happened to your planet as well. So what sort of things did you talk with him about.

>>29858975
"It's probably just his reaction to what happened," You tell her, "He was having much more hardship before then you had before what happened to your planet as well."
She nods in understanding.
"So what sort of things did you talk about with him?"
"Mostly about you guys," She replies, "I told him about you and the others, and the ship and what we've done so far."

What do you do?

>>29859057
Thats good, saves me having to fill him in. It is interesting that you speak different languages.

>>29859085
"That's good," You smile, "Saves me having to fill him in. It is interesting that you speak different languages."
"Yeah," She agrees, "I asked him about it and he said their language use to be like mine, but over the years it started to change until it became something else entirely. Something about distance."

What do you do?

>>29859141
Yeah makes sense, back in our planet different continents that are a bit distanced from each other have different languages or variations of them.

>>29859153
This.
I even know 2 languages.

>>29859153
>>29859180
"Yeah, makes sense. Back in out planet different continents that are a bit distanced from each other have different languages or variations of them. I even know two languages."
"Really? That's so co-"
Kahurangi suddenly erupts into a coughing fit that lasts for several seconds.
"Sorry." She apologizes after it's over; sniffing a bit.

What do you do?

>>29859231
Look like she going to be taking fungal medicine.

>>29859231
FUCK. Rush Kahurangi to Vine, tell her she may have the fungus.

>>29859231
Not sure if fungus or common cold either way VINE NOW. and assume fungus.

>>29859303
Even if it is the common cold it would still be pretty bad as she would have no imunity to it. But yes assume fungus.

>>29859270
>>29859274
>>29859303
>>29859322
While it could've been a common cold Kahurangi didn't have any immunity to it so both cases would probably end badly. Though, you assume that it's the fungus.
"FUCK!" You yell.
You pick up Kahurangi and grab some nearby fungal medicine. Rushing over to Vine, who was still talking to Moana.
"Kahurangi may have the fungus!" You tell her; a look of horror going over Quiet Vine.
"Fungus?!" Kahurangi says from your back.

What do you do?

>>29859383
>Lie down.
>Try not to cry.
>Cry.

>>29859403
We are not going to cry, we need to be strong for kahn.

>>29859383
Fungus or the common cold.

>>29859444
How about we give her to Vine then we go to our room and cry where she cannot see.

>>29859403
>>29859444
>>29859451
>>29859452
You felt like crying, a lot. But, you needed to be strong for Kah. Maybe you could cry outside?
You give her to Vine and wait for a bit. Quiet Vine talks with her for a bit before giving out a quiet laugh and turning to you.
"Rust," She starts, "It's only the common cold. All symptoms point to it, the only thing it relates to with the fungus is the coughing."

What do you do?

>>29859536
Alright we should calm down then. there was no point for panicking.

>>29859536
Oh thank god I was so worried. Do you need me to get you anything for that.

>>29859558
>>29859568
You panic decreases rapidly after this revelation, letting you calm down.
"Oh thank Celestia," You breathe, "I was so worried! Do you need me to get you anything for that?"
"Some cold medicine," She replies, "While it may be harmless to us, these two don't have any immunity to it so we should probably watch them closely."

What do you do?

>>29859643
Go get some.
While we are at it grab some ribbon. We will wrap a bow around our cock as a birthday present later.

>>29859643
Alright the, let grab those cold medicines.

>>29859665
>>29859669
You go and get some. You also grab a ribbon sitting alone, getting a plan to wrap it around your cock later as a birthday present to Quiet Vine.
You soon return with the cold medicine: One of those liquid medicines that was grape flavored. Quiet Vine takes it and pours it into the little cup that came with it, giving it to Kahurangi.
"I need you to drink it all." She tells Kahurangi.
Kahurangi looks at it for a few seconds, but quickly downs it after another set of coughing.
"...Not bad," Kahurangi comments; smacking her beak together, "I like the taste."

What do you do?

>>29859767
Some ponies say the worse it tastes the better it is for you. Those ponies are wrong but you are lucky, a lot of medicine tastes terrible. So Vine do you think we can deal with the fungus. It would be a shame if I had to destroy the art I found it on.

>>29859800
"Some ponies say the worse it tastes the better it is for you," You tell her, "Those ponies are wrong, but you are lucky, a lot of medicine is terrible."
You then turn to Quiet Vine.
"Do you think we can deal with the fungus. It would be a shame if I had to destroy the art I found on it."
"Maybe," She replies, "There are two ways we can stop it: Find it's origin and get a cure from there, or we find someone who is immune and possibly get a cure from them, maybe a vaccine at the most."

What do you do?

>>29859880
You mean like how Moana recovered?

>>29859912
"You mean like how Moana recovered?" You ask.
"Kinda," She replies, "We could draw his blood and try to the find the immunity. There is a better, but more dangerous way of getting sick yourself, but death is probably likely in that case."

What do you do?

>>29859965
Well I trust you will be able to find a cure before it comes to that. I am ready to sacrifice myself for my crew if needed though.

Stopping for the night.
Have a good night or day!

bumpy

>>29860549
another one

good morning bump

Bumpity

>>29862539
Another one

>>29863349
Another

>>29859976
"I trust you will be able to find a cure before it comes to that," You tell her, "I am ready to sacrifice myself for my crew if need though."
"I'm hoping so too," Quiet Vine tells you, "Moana, is it okay for me to draw a bit of your blood? Not very much."
Moana nods.

What do you do?

>>29864871
We should phone home and find out if there have been advances in fungal medicine since we left. It is unlikely but worth a try.

>>29864892
>medicine for space fungal
>just discovered FTL
You're not bright.
>>29864871
What time is it because we still need to make that second bed.

>>29864892
>>29864970
You start to think about phoning home and seeing if there have been advances in fungal medicine, but you kinda doubted it: You just discovered FTL and you had no idea of what other diseases were out here in space.
You look around the room for a clock and find a small one nearby.
It was 7:00 PM.

What do you do?

>>29864970
Hence unlikely.

>>29864983
No real time to make a bed right now. Moana will just have to sleep on the floor for a night.

Oh fuck I just realized we burnt down the cryobeds that were on that ship.

Ask Vine when she will be coming to bed.

>>29865015
There was no real time to make a bed right now, he'll just have to sleep on the floor. Kahurangi's sleeping bag was still in there so he could probably use that.
You then quickly realize that you burnt down the cryo beds that were on the other ship.
"Hey Vine," You say, "When will you be coming to bed?"
"Pretty soon," She replies; prepping a needle for Moana, "Ten minutes at the least."

What do you do?

>>29865087
Better go tie that bow we were planing.
Go lay on the bed with a ribbon around our penis and wait for Vine.

>>29865138
You nod and leave the room, trotting to your bedroom.
You lay down on the bed, back down, and begin the process of tying the red ribbon you found around your penis. It takes a few minutes, but it's finished. Being tied just below the tip.
You then wait. You don't have to wait very long as the door opens and Quiet Vine comes in. She sees you and kinda stares at that moment, the door closing behind her.
She manages to stop herself from laughing for a few seconds before getting a hold of herself.
"So," She smiles; trotting over to you with swaying hips, "I see you got me a present."

What do you do?

>>29865224
Well I could not allow todays events to prevent any sort of birthday celebrations.

>>29865271
"I couldn't allow today's events to prevent any sort of birthday celebrations." You smile.
She trots over and lays herself on the bed right in front of you cock.
"Do I get to open my present?" She asks; gently using a hoof to stroke your shaft.

What do you do?

>>29865394
You get to do whatever you want with it.

>>29865430
"You get to do whatever you want with it." You tell her.
You see some sort of fire flash in her eyes for a brief moment before she smiles. She unties the ribbon, and starts gently licking your shaft.
After a minute or two of this your cock is covered in saliva. She rises a bit until her soaked entrance was over your dick.
She uses her magic to make sure the two line up before slowly lowering down. Her magic disappears when your head gets inside of her. She looks at you before dropping the rest of the way down.
The two of you gasp as a shot of pleasure goes through both of your minds. This leaves Quiet Vine panting a bit, her hooves planted on your chest to keep herself up.

What do you do?

>>29865542
Grab hold and bounce her up and down. Don't start out to fast though.

>>29865595
You grab hold of her and start bouncing her up and down, but you do it slowly at first.
Her face contorts into ecstasy as you start bouncing her. Her teats jiggling with each bounce.
You start to quicken the pace of each bounce, getting her moans to become louder with each one as pleasure continues to go into both of your minds.
You soon start to feel the pressure build up in your cock. Quiet Vine's walls were also starting to spasm as she was getting close too.

What do you do?

>>29865715
Try and cum at the same time as her.

>>29864892
I am thinking even if we do not ask about fungal medicine maybe we should get in contact with a fungal specialist.

This is just a meta thought right now though saying or thinking it at the moment would kill the mood. We can bring it up in the morning.

>>29865725
You decide to try and cum at the same time.
You continue with the bouncing, but stop every so often so the two of you could catch up with each other.
After a minute more of bouncing the two of you cum together, her scream of ecstasy announcing this. Her walls clenching around your and you shooting her load into her.
After ten seconds your climaxes end at the same time as well. Quiet Vine collapsing on top of you and weakly wrapping her legs around you in a hug.

What do you do?

>>29865797
Happy birthday Vine.
Then cuddle untill we fall asleep unless she tries to have a conversation.

>>29865817
"Happy birthday Vine."
The two of you end up cuddling and making out for a few minutes before the two of you end up falling asleep. Hugging each other, and with private parts still connected.

You suddenly find yourself awake. The clock nearby telling you that it was around midnight.
You quickly begin to wonder what could've woken you up.
*Knock Knock Knock!*
Somebody knocking at your door was probably the reason.

What do you do?

>>29865948
Go see who it is?

>>29865948
"Who is it"

>>29865950
>>29866002
You carefully remove yourself from Quiet Vine and get up. Slowly approaching the door.
"Who is it?" You ask.
Coughing from the other side of the door prompts you to open it.
It was Kahurangi, who looked pretty bad: She was shaking, her eyes were red, and her feathers seemed to have gotten duller in color.

What do you do?

>>29866002
Oh also we should cover vine up she may still be rather messy.

>>29866033
This is bad.
Wake Vine.

>>29866045
You quickly trot over to Quiet Vine and shake her a few times to wake her up. When she wakes up you quickly tell her about Kahurangi, the two of you going over to her.
"Kahurangi, are you okay?" Quiet Vine asks her.
"No!" Kahurangi says; voice cracking.
Kahurangi erupts into a coughing fit, which sends her to the floor. Curling up in a ball and crying between coughs.
"...That was a stupid question to ask." Quiet Vine mutters to herself.

What do you do?

>>29866143
Ask Vine if she needs us to get anything.

>>29866160
"Do you need anything?" You ask Quiet Vine.
"Yeah," She replies, "The cold medicine, and some blankets. I'll take care of the rest. Meet me in the medbay."

What do you do?

>>29866257
Follow the doctors instructions.

>>29866269
You follow the doctor's instructions, grabbing a few blankets from the cargo bay and returning to the medbay with some cold medicine.
Quiet Vine currently had Kahurangi sitting on one of the medical beds. You head over and throw the blankets on her before giving her the medicine. Quiet Vine giving her another one, but it was a pill instead.
"Is there any more medicine?" Kahurangi, "Like a cure or something?"
"Sadly: No," Quiet Vine replies, "Most ponies usually tough it out in a week so only medicine is really required most of the time."
Quiet Vine sighs before turning to you.
"You can go to bed," She tells you, "I'll watch over her for the night."

What do you do?

>>29866374
Ok. Give them both a kiss on the forehead and go to bed.

>>29866395
You give them both a kiss on the forehead before departing. Crawling back into the covers of your bed and falling back to sleep.

You slowly find yourself waking up at around eight in the morning.
You were tired, with the reason being that you had a nightmare where the cold killed Kahurangi, followed by Moana suddenly dying on the spot.
But, thankfully: It was only a dream.

What do you do?

>>29866491
Let go make some breakfast for Vine and some coffee

>>29866525
You decide to get up and trot over to the kitchen to make some breakfast for Vine and some coffee, maybe one for you. You weren't much of a coffee drinker, but you drank coffee from time to time.
You find the high-tech coffee maker and start making a pot.
"Morning Rust," Cardea greets you as she walks in, "...You look tired today."

What do you do?

>>29866601
Kan has a common cold and it got worst at midnight. I'm making food and coffee for both Vine and me.

>>29866601
Yeah kah got a disease from equus somehow. Thankfully it is not the fungus that killed most of the folks on that ship.

>>29866645
>>29866670
"Kah got a disease from Equus somehow," You tell her, "Thankfully it wasn't the fungus, but it got worse at midnight. I'm making food and coffee both Vine and me."
"...You want me to help," Cardea asks, "I can make a good cup of coffee for the both of you."

What do you do?

>>29866738
Sure. Let make breakfast.

>>29866743
"Sure. Let's make breakfast."
With Cardea you're able to make breakfast for you and Quiet Vine: Some pancakes as it was simple to make.
After fifteen minutes you have two large pancakes on a plate. One for you and one for Vine.
"Coffee is done," Cardea announces; coming over to you with two cups, "Drazken coffee is much different from yours, but you seem to use it for the same purpose so there shouldn't be problems."
You look at the coffee. The coffee was a bluish-green color and smelled quite sweet.

What do you do?

>>29866836
Let try the coffee, then we bring this to Vine.

Stopping for the night.
Also: Wish me luck as I'm about to watch my first horror movie since World War Z: Train to Busan.

>>29866836
Taste it.

>>29869522

>>29870746

>>29873201

>>29866857
>>29868028
You bring the cup of coffee up and drink a bit of it.
It tasted pretty sweet, like a bunch of different fruits coming together. It was pretty good.
With that done you trot over to the medbay and open the door. Kahurangi had fallen asleep, but Quiet Vine was wide awake, with a bag or two under her eyes.

What do you do?

>>29874710
Let give her a kiss, then serve her breakfast.
So hows is Kah holding up.

>>29874742
You trot over to her, sitting down next to her and giving her a kiss before serving her breakfast and coffee.
"How's Kah holding up?" You ask.
"Could be better," She replies; taking a sip of coffee, "She didn't get any sleep for most of the night. It started to get better around four in the morning when she finally fell to sleep. It should probably get better in a few days."

What do you do?

blump

blump

>>29874953
Well that is good to know.

>>29875864
"Well, that is good to know." You smile.
The two of you begin to eat. Quiet Vine's energy slowly seems to come back as she eats with you. You gain a bit of energy as well.
"Attention," Sai's voice suddenly announces; causing the two of you to jump, "We are about to arrive at our next destination."

What do you do?

>>29876086
Lett see how this solar system look like.

>>29876257
You get up and trot over to the window to see what the solar system looked like.
It was a binary solar system with two stars. The main one being orange, and the one orbiting around it being smaller and blue in color. There didn't seem to be any planets orbiting the two stars.
As you start to get closer you see something shining in between the two stars. With small lights moving to and from the object that was shining in between the stars.

What do you do?

>>29876373
Let take some picture and ask Sai what's in the middle of the two sun.

>>29876413
You take a quick picture of it.
"Sai, what's in the middle of the two suns?" You ask.
"It seems to be a spaceport," He says, "Getting a lot of different signals coming to and from it."

What do you do?

>>29876527
Wooooo spaceport.
Time to buy new weapons and meet new races.

Alright get me in contact.

>>29876527
Can you make a scan of the temperatures, hunidity reading and radiation level and any other statistic that might be harmful to us?

>>29876761
>>29876870
"Wooooooo spaceport," You cheer; almost waking Kah, "Time to buy new weapons and meet new races! Sai, get me in contact, and get a scan of the temperatures, humidity reading and radiation levels and anything else that would be helpful."
"Cockpit."
You quickly trot over to the cockpit just as the screen has lowered and the call getting out. Sai quickly tells you that the spaceport appears to have temperatures and humidity extremely similar to Equestria. Specificly: The Griffion Empire. After several rings the call is picked up.
The room was small with two banners flanking each side: White backgrounds and each having a red cross on it. An alien stood in the middle of the screen, wearing long robes similar to the banners, having pale skin where it was exposed, and a long white beard with a wrinkled face. You quickly recognize it as a human.
"Hello," The human greets you, "I don't recognized your race. Are you a new race?"

What do you do?

>>29876985
Try not to squee. Yes we are nice to meet you my name is Rust Bukcet.

>>29876985
Yes I am a pony. Well half pony half minotaur but we are a pony mission to explore the galaxy for the first time.

I see you are a human. We picked up one of your old probes early into our journy.

>>29877052
>>29877077
You manage to contain a squee, thankfully.
"Yes, I am a pony," You tell him, "Well, half-pony half-Minotaur, I'm a pony on a mission to explore the galaxy for the first time! My name is Rust Bucket, nice to meet you."
"Apollinaire de Molay," He greets you; bowing, "Grandmaster of the Knights Templar."
"I see you are a human," You comment, "We picked up on of your old probes early into our journey."
"Strange," Apollinaire says, "We haven't sent a probe out in ages. What was the probe's name?"

What do you do?

>>29877324
Ah sai what was the probes name. I think it was pretty old.

>>29877352
"Uh Sai, what was the probe's name? I think it was pretty old."
"Voyager 1." Sai replies.
Apollinaire chuckles at this.
"Americans," He chuckles, "They built things to last. I'm surprised that you did find it though."

What do you do?

>>29877478
Why? How old is that probe?

>>29877478
I guess when you think about it the odds of finding it are massivly small. Space is a pretty big place.

>>29877523
>>29877542
"I guess when you think about it: The odds of finding it are massively small. Space is a pretty big place."
"True." He agrees.
"How old is the probe?"
"In human years: 3,558 years old."

What do you do?

>>29877662
Sounds pretty old then.

So what do you do at this station.

>>29877709
"Sounds pretty old then," You mutter, "So what do you do at this station?"
"This is an outpost station," Apollinaire tells you, "We built it to come into contact with nearby races and gain trade with them, even letting them interact with each other for trade as well. It also provides a lot of services to travelers."

What do you do?

>>29878241
That sounds pretty nice.
Sadly unless you have advanced ways to stop fungus or can scan our ship to check for fungus I am not sure we should dock. We are not certain but it is possible we are carrying a deadly fungus.

I can put you in contact with our home planet though.

>>29878289
"That sounds pretty nice," You smile, "Sadly: Unless you have advanced ways to stop fungus or can scan our ship to check for fungus I'm not sure we should dock. We are not certain, but it's possible we are carrying a deadly fungus. I can put in contact with our home planet though."
"You can land," Apollinaire replies, "We have screening technology. We can screen all of you and the ship and then treat it accordingly."

What do you do?

>>29878400
We will be there soon.
Set a course.

>>29878445
Oh and thank him of course.

>>29878445
>>29878452
"Thank you," You tell him, "We'll be there soon."
The video cuts and you set course to the spaceport.
About fifteen minute of flying Sai lands the ship on a dock outside of the spaceport in what appeared to be an oxygen bubble. The ship apparently had landing gears, but they weren't strong enough to land on a planet. Six of you looking out the window as Sai manages to land.
"Rust," Quiet Vine says to you, "Should I wake up Kahurangi? She's still asleep."

What do you do?

>>29878640
You probably should. I know I would be mad if I was not at least offered this oportunity.

>>29878655
"You probably should," You tell her, "I know I would be made if I wasn't at least offered this opportunity."
Quiet Vine nods and goes to wake up Kahurangi.
"Everybody will need to exit through the cargo bay airlock," Sai announces, "There's a ramp there that will allow you to walk safely to the ground."
Quiet Vine then comes back in Kahurangi, who was looking a little better, but her eyes were still a bit red and she was shivering a tiny bit.

What do you do?

>>29878791
I know you are not feeling well but did you want to come explore the spaceport. We don't know when we will get another oportunity like that.

>>29878883
"I know you're not feeling well," You say to her, "But, did you want to come explore the spaceport? We don't know when we'll get another opportunity like this."
She takes a few moments to think about this.
"Sure," She replies with a hoarse voice, "But, can I come back here if I feel like I have to?"

What do you do?

>>29878984
Of course you can.
So Sai did they say what they trade in. Do we just offer gold or do they have some sort of currency here.

>>29879010
"Of course you can," You tell her, "Sai, did they say what they trade in? Do we just offer gold or do they have some sort of currency here?"
"They apparently have something called: Timbres, which are basically silver and gold coins. One gold bar equals a hundred Timbres and a hundred is pretty rich here."

What do you do?

>>29879115
Ok then each person on this ship gets 100 timbres for personal shopping. If you find anything you think will benifit our voyage then we will discuss it later and decided if we should purchase it. We will pay for 1 weapon of each persons choice as well.

>>29879115
Is a timbre good anywhere else or just on this station?

>>29879182
>>29879192
"Is the Timbres good anywhere else or just on this station?" You ask.
"They're good at any Templar Port, there's about twenty across the galaxy at the moment."
"Okay then," You mutter; turning to your group, "Each person on this ship get 100 Timbres for personal shopping each. If you find anything you think will benefit our voyage then we will discuss it later and decide later if we purchase it. We will pay for one weapon for each persons choice as well."
They all understand and agree.

What do you do?

>>29879296
Go get the gold we need and head on down.
Once we all have our money we can split up and go shopping.

First things first we need a new shotgum it would be good to have something that shoots pellets in case of laser resistant foes. Go see what sort of shotguns they have.

Just browse for now though we will buy everybodys weapons at once so we don't use up more of our gold then we need to.

>>29879342
You grab seven bars of gold, one for each of you, and head down to the dock level from the cargo bay.
The seven of you then move to the dock entrance, where another human told all of your gold and gave you a hundred Timbres each.
The seven of you then head into the spaceport. Splitting into groups, with you going with Quiet Vine and Kahurangi.
The three of you search for a bit until you find a sign pointing to the direction of the shopping district: Down a long escalator.
One escalator ride later the three of you arrive at the shopping district, being stunned by it.
The shopping district was huge: Many different alien races moving about from the thousands of different stores that inhabited this floor you were on.

What do you do?

>>29879454
Try and find a map.

>>29879454
Take a picture of all the alien species.

>>29879490
>>29879519
The three of you start to try and find a map, while doing this you take pictures of as many alien species as possible.
One being a giant mantis-like creature, one was a strange, but extremely friendly fungal blob, a Minotaur like creature, but it was a boar instead, a extremely thin, wood-like creature too.
The three of you then find the map which was in front of the last alien creature in the area: A bulky, hairless, dog-like creature with advanced weaponry and armor and walked around on all fours.
You go over to take a picture of it. Before you can though it grabs your camera with it's mouth and slams it to the ground before giving it a good stomp.
"Tivule fekt!" It snarls at you; turning and walking off.

What do you do?

>>29879883
Say he is a faggot.
Check the map. Look for weapons, electronics and media.

>>29879883
Let hope the SD card did not get destroyed. Let see what stores are there.

>>29879907
>>29879929
"You're a faggot!" You shout after him.
He simply turns, stick his tongue out at you, and proceeds to continue walking.
You pick up your camera and look over the damage. There was no damage on the inside, the most damage it took was on the outside as the screen was a bit cracked, but it still worked.
You look at the map and try to find where the weapons, electronics, and media were. You find them: All the way across the spaceport on the same floor. You were currently in a section that mostly sold food, which was why there were so many aliens here.

What do you do?

>>29880034
Tell the others they can buy new food if they want. We are heading to the other end of the store.

>>29880034
To the electronics.

>>29880075
>>29880097
"You guys can go buy some new food if you want," You tell Quiet Vine and Kahurangi, "I'm heading to the other end of the store."
The two of them go off to find some food, leaving you to talk all the way to the other side of the store.

Fifteen minutes of walking later you arrive at the other side of the store. There were less aliens here, but there was still a lot. Most of them being the hairless dog creatures.
Most of the stores here being for weapons, electronics, and media. What you've wanted so far.

What do you do?

>>29880207
Weapons first. Do not buy anything yet just browse for now. See what they have in shotguns.

Stopping for the night.
Have a good night or day!

Bemp.

Shopping.

>>29881783

>>29880241
You decide to look around for weapons first. Slowly going down the line of shops for a possible shotgun.
It doesn't take you very long to find one: A futuristic looking one sitting on a shelf made out a material that you've never seen before. It appeared to fire projectiles though as it had a place for ammo and a wide barrel, pump action as well.

What do you do?

blump

blump

Another blump

blump

>>29885579
Ask the shopkeeper about it.

>>29886703
You trot over to the shop and decide to ask the shopkeep, who was one of the long, skinny wood-like aliens.
"Zis iz ze Woodland," He tells you after you ask; grabbing it from the shelf and showing to you, "Iz a shotgun wihth powerful damage. Can uze anything zat you can shred."
He takes a part off of it and shows it to you: It was a small box with a bunch of tiny blades in it.

What do you do?

>>29886839
That seems good.
Do you have any other shotguns. That seems the best choice right now but I would like to shop around.

>>29886881
"That seems good," You say, "Do you have any other shotguns? It seems like the best choice right now, but I would like to shop around a bit more."
"Therez a shop owned by ze Igilo Mercenaries down at ze end. Zhey zell a lot of zhotgunz down zere. Be prepared for zteep pricez though."

What do you do?

>>29886958
I will check those out and then make a descision. I have plenty of money though don't worry. Check the price of the Woodland so we can compare it to the other shotguns.

>>29887017
"I will check those out and then make a decision," You tell him, "I have plenty of money though don't worry."
You quickly check the price of the Woodland: 15 Timbres.
You then head over to the other store which you're able to find.
It was a small shop with a lot of weaponry. The shopkeeper was one of the hairless dog aliens, sitting there and looking quite bored.

What do you do?

>>29887098
Ask about shotguns.

>>29887108
You trot over and ask about shotguns. The alien simply points over to a wall with a claw where a nice amount of shotguns sat.
Most of the shotguns appeared to be trigger fired and made out of a cheaper looking material than what Woodland was made out of. They apparently required shotgun ammo as well and the price for them being around 30-50 Timbres.

What do you do?

>>29887202
Hm I kind of liked the loose pellets of the Woodland.
Go back to the first store and tell the guy you will come by and pick up the woodland later. Our whole crew is buying new weapons so we will buy them all at once.

>>29887202
We should keep an eye out for Eagle while we are here. I would not be surprised if weapons were one of the first things she went for as well. Probably not the very first thing like it was for us though.

>>29887244
>>29887266
You kinda liked the loose pellets of the Woodland.
You start heading back to the first store, looking out for Eagle along the way as you wouldn't be surprised that she would be here. But, probably not for the same reason.
You soon return to the first shop.
"I'll come by and pick up the Woodland later," You tell him, "My whole crew is buying new weapons so we'll be buying them all at once."
He nods and takes out a piece of paper. He writes on it before placing it in front of the Woodland, probably reserving it for you.
You start to look around for something else when you notice Eagle in the small crowd of aliens, being followed by two Igilo Mercenaries who appeared to be trying to flirt with her, much to her annoyance and anger.

What do you do?

>>29887357
Lets difuse this peacefully.
Go up and give her a kiss. Hopefully they will think she is taken.

>>29887367
You quickly go over to defuse the situation peacefully.
You go up to her and give her a kiss and place a hoof around her. Eagle looking at you with a blush.
This catches the two by surprise, but one of them starts stepping towards you with an angry look. Only to be stopped by his buddy.
"Stop," He tells him, "It isn't worth it now."
He turns and starts walking, the other one lingers for a moment before doing the same.
"...Thanks," Eagle tells you, "They were quite persistent."

What do you do?

>>29887583
Glad to help. Good to see one of them was smart enough to make his friend back off.

this is the perfect chance to tease her a little. Now if you will excuse me I need to go buy the strongest soap they have.

>>29887640
"Glad to help," You tell her, "Good to see one of them was smart enough to make his friend back off. Now if you will excuse me: I need to go buy the strongest soap they have."
Eagle quickly looks at you with a cute, but angry pout at that.

What do you do?

>>29887755
Pout back.
So how is the shopping going. Did you find a new weapon. I found a nice shotgun called the woodland.

>>29887803
You pout back at her for a moment.
"So how's the shopping going," You ask, "Did you find a new weapon. I found a nice shotgun called the Woodland."
"I did find something that wasn't a weapon." She replies.
She then proceeds to pull something out of her suit: A necklace, purple in color with a heart on it.

What do you do?

>>29887929
What does it do.

>>29887991
"What does it do?" You ask.
"The human told me it was usually a combat medal," She explains, "Usually for someone who was wounded on the field of battle. It use to look a lot different then what I have right now."

What do you do?

>>29888120
It seems a little weird to base jewellery off an award but it does look nice.

>>29888120
How much did it cost. It seems sai was not kidding about 100 timbres being a lot of money.

>>29888148
>>29888170
"It seems a little weird to base jewelry off an award, but it does look nice," You tell her, "How much did it cost? It seems Sai was not kidding about 100 Timbres being a lot of money."
"30 Timbres." She replies.

What do you do?

>>29888250
I sometimes forget how expensive jewellery can get. The shotgun I am gonna buy is only costing 15. It is pretty neat, rather then a shell it just loads shards of metal. So what are you thinking in weapons, some sort of laser rifle I assume.

>>29888282
"I sometimes forget how expensive jewelry can get," You say, "The shotgun I'm going to buy is only 15. It's pretty neat: Rather then shells it just loads shards of metal. What are you thinking in weapons, some sort of laser rifle I assume."
"I was actually hoping to find a laser pistol," Eagle tells you, "I've always liked pistols."

What do you do?

>>29888380
Alright then, I'll be checking the electronic to see what technology they have here.

>>29888380
Alright then, pick something good. We will all buy our weapons at once so we do not exchange more gold then we need to.
We should work out when we will meet back up.

>>29888395
>>29888451
"Alright then," You say, "Pick something good. We will buy our weapons at once so we don't exchange more gold then we need to. I'll be checking the electronics to see what technology they have here. We should also word out when we will meet back up."
"It's around ten in the morning right now," Eagle tells you, "I think we should meet up around the food courts around noon for lunch."

What do you do?

>>29888481
Sounds good. If you see any of the others tell them to meet up there.

>>29888563
"Sounds good," You tell her, "If you see any of the others tell them to meet up there."
She salutes before trotting off into the small crowd. Leaving you alone once more.

What do you do?

>>29888642
Let head to the electronics and see what everyone has to offer.

>>29888642
Time to check there tech.

>>29888662
>>29888715
You start checking out the electronic stores to check out their tech.
You just got to the first tech store when this happens:
"Hi!"
"Gah!"
You jump a bit and quickly turn to the overly cheery female voice.
The source of a voice was a little hologram on a little floor projector. The hologram shaped to be a earth pony mare.

What do you do?

>>29888771
How are you a pony. Ponies have never been here before.

>>29888771
How did someone made a hologram of a pony when we just got here?

>>29888782
>>29888795
"How did someone make a hologram of a pony," You ask; calming your heart, "Ponies have never been here before!"
"I take the form of any alien creature I'm communicating with," The hologram tells you, "To make them feel more at home!"

What do you do?

>>29888843
Well that good to know, what is your name anyway?

>>29888843
I am impressed you were able to work out what an earth mare would look like. Closest we have on our crew is half bat. So how much would one of these hologram projectors cost. Would it be possible to get one that allowed flying homograms (hope they do so we can simulate windigos for the play). Do you have small projectors for making mini holograms.

>>29888903
>>29888908
"That's good to know," You say, "I'm impressed you were able to work out what an earth pony mare would look like. Closest we have on our crew is a half-bat. What is your name?"
"Holographic Personal Assistant," She says proudly, "Or Hpa Hip-uh for short."
"How much would one of these hologram projectors cost," You ask, "Would it be possible to get one that allowed flying holograms? Or to make mini holograms?"
"I can do a lot of stuff," She smiles; walking off her projector and towards the window separating the two of you, "I can walk off my projector, reshape my body to other forms, and even change my size! I can do a lot of stuff! And I only cost 5 Timbres, cheap for a little hologram like me." She smiles; winking at you.

What do you do?

>>29888984
That sounds pretty handy. I think I will get one. Do you also have homogram systems we could hook up to our a.i.

>>29889019
Damit why do I keep saying homogram instead of hologram.

>>29889019
"That sounds pretty handy," You reply, "I think I'll get one. Do you also have hologram systems we can hook up to our A.I.?"
"We have some," Hpa replies, "But, if you want to buy one of me I'm sorry to say that I'm the only one left in stock at the moment. All the other Hpas were sold and I'm the only one."

What do you do?

>>29889082
I assumed you were just a display model. I will take you then.

>>29889082
Well let buy her.
We should also see if we can find 2 cryobed for Kah and Moana.

Stopping for the night.
Have a good night or day!

good morning bump

Bumpity

>>29891850
Another one

>>29892598
Another

We should find out the price of a full holographic suit.
Enough that we can make any hologram anywhere we want on the ship.

You know what I love? When the internet gives you a big old fuck you and doesn't work for three hours!

>>29889092
>>29889102
"I assumed you were a display model," You tell her; trotting in and picking her projector up. Her holographic form following, "I will take you then."
"Yay!" She cheers; throwing her hooves into the air.
You trot around the store for a moment, looking for cryobeds for Kahurangi and Moana. After a few minutes of searching you find two small cryobeds, both priced for 40 Timbres a piece.

What do you do?

>>29894843
Hm we will have to discuss it with them if they even want it. Not overly expensive at least.
Ask about
>>29894708

>>29894856
You decide you'll probably discuss it with them if they wanted the items. They weren't overly expensive though so that was good.
You trot over to the counter where a human sat and ask him if they had any holographic suits.
He smiles and goes into the back, coming out a few minutes later with a human mannequin with several balls on random parts of the body.

What do you do?

>>29894945
Give a chuckle.
I meant full hologram capabilities for my ship a.i, projectors in every room. The ability to make holograms around me seems pretty good as well though.

>>29894977
You chuckle.
"I meant full hologram capabilities for my ship. A.I. projectors in every room."
"Oh," The human says; simply kicking the mannequin back into the back, "That'll depend on how many rooms there are on your ship. It could end up costing a lot."

What do you do?

blump

>>29895132
Well if it is expensive i will have to talk about it with my crew.
Give him the rough size of the ship and ask for an estimate so we will have some idea of if it would be worth it.

How much would those personal projectors you showed me cost.

>>29895375
"If it is expensive then I'll have to talk about it with my crew," You tell him.
You proceed to give him a rough size of the ship.
"All the rooms totaled up will be: 237 Timbres," He tells you, "Quite a bit."
"How much for those personal projectors you showed me cost?"
"You mean Hpa?" He asks.

What do you do?

>>29895443
No the suit.

>>29895454
"No the suit." You tell him.
He nods and goes and grabs it again.
"10 Timbres," He tells you, "It would be more, but people don't want to buy them anymore. Not since the projectors like Hpa have come into play."

What do you do?

Stopping for the night.
Sorry for the short session, you can blame my internet crashing for that. There might be a one or two hours delay tomorrow.
Have a good night or day!

>>29895492
So what exactly does it do. I am guessing it allows me to project a hologram in front of me.

>>29894945
Fuck I just worked out where the confusion came from I misspelt suite.

good morning bump

Bumpity

Bemp.

>>29896096
"What exactly does it do," You ask, "I'm guessing it allows me to project a hologram in front of me."
"Pretty much," The human replies, "Each ball has a little projector in it which shoots holograms of your choosing out of."

What do you do?

>>29901064
That sounds fantastic.
I will take one.

>>29901073
"That sounds fantastic. I'll take one."
"Alright," He says; placing the suit on the counter, "Are you going to be taking Hpa as well?"

What do you do?

>>29901171
Yes.

>>29901171
Of course.

>>29901185
>>29901190
"Yes of course."
The human rings the two items up taking 15 Timbres away from you before pushing the items towards you. Hpa bouncing on her little projector as she's pushed towards you.
"Take good care of Hpa," The human tells you, "She's one of my favorites."

What do you do?

>>29901291
I assure you I will.

>>29901291
Thank the man. Tell him if we can persuade our crew a full holographic setup would be worth it we will be back

>>29901362
>>29901380
"Thank you," You tell him, "I assure you I will and if I can persuade my crew a full holographic setup will be worth it. I will be back!"
You trot out of the store and into the spaceport.
You look down to find Hpa trying to hug you, her little holographic tail wagging rapidly.

What do you do?

>>29901435
Place your arms near her as if you could hug her back.

>>29901435
Is she wagging like a dog. If so tell her pony tails do not quite move like that but we are sure she will get the hang of it.

>>29901443
>>29901452
While pony's tails could wag they usually didn't wag as rapidly as she was currently.
You place your legs as close as you can get to her as if you could hug her back.
"Pony tails don't move like that," You tell her with a smile, "But, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it."
"Sorry," She apologizes, "I had to combine a few models to get your form right for me."

What do you do?

>>29901513
Ok next stop. Comic book store.

I am a little unclear. How large is hpa's projector?

>>29901608
Around the size of a bottom of a cup. Not very big.

>>29901527
You move to your next stop: A comic book store.
It doesn't take you very long to find one in the form of a magazine stand.
After a quick look one comic jumps out at you. A comic simply titled: Batman.

What do you do?

>>29901666
I wonder if a batman is like a bat pony.
Buy it and ask if they have any ocean themed heros. Our favorite from back home is a protector of the seas.

Also ask them about classics what are the stories every human comic reader should read.

>>29901694
"I wonder if a batman is like a batpony," You wonder to yourself; walking to the front counter and grabbing the batman comic, "Do you have any ocean themed heroes? My favorite back home is a protector of the seas."
"Just one." The human replies.
He bends down and presents you with a copy of a comic book titled: Aquaman.
...Aquaman.

What do you do?

>>29901857
Buy it.
Then ask about the classics.

>>29901871
You quickly take it and add it to your pile.
"What are the classic ones that every human comic reader should read?" You ask.
The human bends down again and pulls out a comic book titled: Superman Issue #1. The magazine was old, with creases and folds in the cover.

What do you do?

>>29901954
That looks old and therefor expensive. How much.

I guess we already exhausted all the well known classics on pony puns

>>29901969
"That looks old," You mutter, "And therefor: expensive. How much?"
"15 Timbres," He replies, "16 counting the two other comics you want."

What do you do?

>>29902034
I will take it then. How old is it exactly.

>>29902054
"I'll take it then," You tell him, "How old is it exactly."
"Around 400 years old," He replies, "I'm mostly surprised on how well preserved it is in it's condition."

What do you do?

>>29902185
Is it American? Apollinaire said Americans built things to last.

>>29902204
"Is it American," You ask, "Apollinaire said Americans built things to last."
"Yeah," He says, "They pretty much invented the comic book back on Earth. Sadly: They're not around anymore with the Templar being the last of Earth's old colonies along with the Novaya Sibirskaya Respublika."

What do you do?

>>29902297
That sounds like there a lot of history of what happen to Earth. Check what time is it?

>>29902297
I will have to pick up a history book. Do you have any recommendations on an impartial source. I can see things getting muddled when there are only 2 sides

>>29902297
Should we say anything about the pod we found with the humans from the country with a red ball in a white background flag?
(Rust Bucket has no idea what Japan is so that would possibly be his description of it)

>>29902324
>>29902372
"That sounds like there's a lot of history of what happened to Earth," You say, "I will have to pick up a history book. Do you have any recommendations on an impartial source. I can see things getting muddled when there are only two sides."
"There's a book store just across from me," He tells you, "Find a book called Past, Earth, and Us. It'll teach you everything about human history straight from the beginning."

What do you do?

>>29902408
Thank you.
So who would you say were the americans main competitors in comics.
>>29902404
Probably a good idea to mention it to Apollinaire

>>29902539
"Thank you. So who would you say were the American's main competitors in comics."
"Probably the Japanese at the time," He replies, "They made more paper for their manga then actual toilet paper."

What do you do?

Stopping for the night.
Sorry for the possible drop in quality. I had to evaluated from my transfer to a different college so that meant I had to take a bit of a test, which kinda drained me. Normal schedule should be back tomorrow.
Have a good night or day!

>>29902600
I am tempted to say something about self cleaning horses anuss but let's just thank him, pay for our comics and go buy that book.

I wonder if humans have been involved in a lot more wars then equestrians.

>>29902600
How much money do we have left? We need to save some for the weapon we wanted to buy. And the holographic suite seems not so much of a priority for now. Maybe get the weapons first and then see if there's enough left for that suite?

Bumpity

>>29905459
Another one

>>29904887
We can always get more money. The real question is how many bars of gold do we have left. We would not want to run out mid journy. It was only 3 bars though so I think it should probably be ok.

>>29906815
Oh yeah right and we do have permission to spend all of it, right? Ah it's that famous habit kicking in again you know the one "save that item/ healing item/ money just in case"

>>29903680
>>29904887
You manage to resist the urge to tell a pretty bad joke and just pay for the comic books, trotting out to go find that book.
As you're trotting you look down at your Timbres and count them. Totaling at around 53 Timbres.
You soon enter the book store and after a minute or two of looking you find the history book. It was large and thick, and was around 15 Timbres.

What do you do?

>>29907294
It is a lot but it sounds like a very good book. Make the purchase.

I imagine tge others have mostly been making a lot of smaller purchases unlike our bunch of large purchases. Should be interesting to compare shopping.

Check the time. How long until we meet up with the others.

>>29907319
*our few large purchases.

>>29907319
It was a lot, but it looked like a very good book so you go ahead and make the purchase. Leaving you with: 38 Timbres.
You trot out of the store with your new purchase, looking down at the time.
It was 11:30 and you were suppose to meet with the others around noon for lunch.

What do you do?

>>29907418
We do not know for sure Eagle was able to inform everybody where to meet. Walk towards the food court but keep an eye out for the others on the way. We really need to get some way to keep in contact with each other but we can probably find something like that in the cargo bay.

If we arrive at the food early just sit down and start reading batman. Then aquaman. Save superman for when we are safely back on the ship.

>>29907470
You didn't really know for sure if Eagle was able to inform everybody where to meet. So you start walking to the food court, while thinking of a way all of you could keep in contact with each other.
About ten minutes back to the food court or a quarter of the way there you see a familiar color in the crowd.
It was Quiet Vine, frantically looking through the crowd for something. You quickly realize that Kahurangi wasn't with her.

What do you do?

>>29907556
Go up to her and ask what is going on.

>>29907581
You trot up to her, which gets her to turn to you.
"What's going on?" You ask.
"Have you seen Kahurangi?!" She asks you quickly.
"I haven't."
"Shitshitshitshitshit," She panics; trotting around for a moment, "I was trotting away from a shop with her. I turn around and she's gone, I don't know where she went! Sweet Celestia, something bad could be happening to her!"
Quiet Vine starts trotting around again, quickly moving into a panic attack.

What do you do?

>>29907650
Alright Vine, Deep breath. Where was the last shop you two where at?

>>29907650
Hug her tight. "It's ok I am sure they track everybody here, we just need to talk to the security folks or something" she probably just wanted to buy something without you knowing about it.

>>29907666
I am not sure why I ended the quotation marks early there.
Also
>>29907662
Yeah spend a short period of time looking for her before we go see the store people and ask.

>>29907662
>>29907666
You grab her and hug her tight.
"Deep breaths," You tell her, "It's okay, I'm sure they track everybody here, we just need to talk to the security folks or something. She probably just wanted to buy something without you knowing about it. Where was the last shop you two were at?"
"We were at a food store," She sniffs, "I told her to wait outside while I get some food. I was buying her a knife instead, I was going to give it to her on the ship as a surprise, she does need something to defend herself with if needed. Anyway, I walked out and she was there then we started walking and she was just... gone."
The two of you start a small search of the area for a few minutes. You even ask a few aliens if they seen her, but they all said no.

What do you do?

>>29907746
Check a map for security or something. Tell Vine the knife was a good idea.

>>29907757
"The knife was a good idea." You tell Vine; getting her to blush a bit.
The two of you find a nearby map and look it over for security or something.
Each wing apparently had a few different security rooms, one of them being only a short walk away.

What do you do?

>>29907850
Go ask them if they can help.

>>29907863
The two of you trot over to security. Several minutes later you arrive.
You enter security to find a small, grayish-white room with several waiting chairs. A guard with white robes with a red cross on them sat behind a desk, looking quite bored.

What do you do?

>>29907927
Excuse me we are looking for a lost child.

>>29907944
Oh and then describe her and tell him what ship she came from.

>>29907944
>>29907974
"Excuse me," You say; trotting up to the desk, "We're looking for a lost child: Top half of a bird, bottom half of a reptile."
The guard smiles.
"We have her," He replies, "Found her while the mercenaries were trying to kidnap her. Gave her a nasty cut underneath one of her eyes, but she's fine."
He looks over and nods to another guard who goes behind a door. A minute later it opens with Kahurangi rushing out, hugging the two of you and crying.

What do you do?

>>29908035
Why the hell does everybody try to kidnap her. Please do not get overprotective over this Vine.

>>29908052
"Why the hell does everybody want to kidnap her," You mutter, "Please don't get overprotective over this Vine."
She nods.
"Probably because she's a rare alien," The human says, "Slavers like rare aliens: Might have new skills that would be useful doing certain tasks."

What do you do?

>>29908117
Why in the hell do you allow slavers on your station.

>>29908132
"Why in the hell do you allow slavers on your station?" You ask; getting a little angry.
"We didn't," He replies, "They got past security. They're now red paste on a white floor though. We'll let God decide on what to do with them now."

What do you do?

>>29908180
Are a lot of humans religious?

>>29908180
A shame. I would have loved the oportunity to splatter them myself.

>>29908199
>>29908256
"A shame," You say, "I would have loved the opportunity to splatter them myself. Are a lot of humans religious?"
"Almost all the humans here are," He replies, "The other one? Not so much. Guess losing Earth can do that to people."

What do you do?

>>29908367
I suppose it would, thank you for your help.

Time to go meet the others.

>>29908388
"I suppose it would," You agree, "Thank you for your help."
He nods as the three of you leave. The three of you then start moving to the food court to meet the others.
You soon arrive and about ten minutes early as well.

What do you do?

>>29908495
Introduce them to hpa.

>>29908495
Give some attention to Kah she must be a little shaken from the "experience".

>>29908541
Actualy save that for when we have the whole crew here
>>29908545
Ask Kahurangi what she has brought.

>>29908541
>>29908545
>>29908582
You wanted to introduce them to Hpa, but you decide to wait for when the whole crew was here.
The three of you find a spot and sit down. Kahurangi sits next to you, allowing you to a closer look at her injury.
The cut was under her right eye, while it wasn't deep you could see that it bled a lot, but it's no longer bleeding.
"What did you buy?" You ask her.
She looks a bit nervous for a moment before reaching into her sack. She pulls out a beautiful green bow.
She carefully clips it onto her plume and looks at you with a smile.

What do you do?

>>29908668
It's very pretty. How much did it cost. Probably a lot cheaper then most of what I brought.

What about you Vine what other stuff have you purchased. I am guessing you did not take me up on the offer of a new weapon for yourself.

>>29908709
"It's very pretty," You tell her, "How much did it cost? Probably a lot cheaper then most of what I bought."
"It was free," Kahurangi explains, "We were at a clothing store, but I didn't want anything. The cashier though gave me this bow, said I'd look great with it."
"What about you Vine what stuff have you purchased? I'm guessing you didn't take me up on the offer of a new weapon for yourself."
"I'm thinking about it," She tells you, "And I did get something."
She reaches into her sack and pulls out a smooth marble. Yellow in color.
"It's called a Message Stone."

What do you do?

blump

>>29908799
Ohh do you know how does it work?

>>29909069
"Do you know how it works?" You ask.
She simply smiles, bringing it to her face.
"Hi Rust!" She says into the marble.
She then gives it to you.
"Hi Rust!" The marble repeats to you.

What do you do?

>>29909123
Neat, did they say if this has a maximum number of uses or how long the messages can be?

>>29909266
"Neat," You smile, "Did they say if this has a maximum number of uses or how long the messages can be?"
"No," She replies, "Unlimited uses and messages can be as long as you want."

What do you do?

Stopping for the night.
Have a good night or day!

>>29909340
Is it magic or tech?

>>29909413
Look like magic to me.
>>29909340
Well I got a few human comic books, a book on their history and where they use to live. I was thinking of getting the AI's hologram for our ship.

>>29909459
>Look like magic to me
True but it never hurts to ask.
>I was thinking of getting the AI's hologram for our ship
Maybe wait for the others to get here. We would just have to go over it all again.

Bumpity

>>29911896
blump

>>29912856
another bump

>>29909413
>>29909459
"Is it magic or tech?" You ask.
"I don't know," Quiet Vine replies, "When I asked he laughed at the magic part so tech I guess."
"Well, I got a few human comic books, a book on their history and where they use to live. I was also thinking of getting the AI's hologram for our ship."
"Maybe we should wait for the others to ask that," Quiet Vine suggests, "Besides: The bow wasn't the only thing Kahurangi bought."
"What if Rust doesn't like it?" Kahurangi says to Quiet Vine.

What do you do?

>>29914230
It does not matter if I like it what matters is you like it. If she clarifies it is a gift then tell her it is the thought that counts anyway.

>>29914265
Yeah this

>>29914265
>>29914299
"It doesn't matter if I like it," You tell her, "What matters is that you like it."
She doesn't move for a moment before reaching into her sack and pulling something out, which she quickly throws in front of you on the table.
It was a blank white card.
"There's... some stuff on the inside." Kahurangi tells you.

What do you do?

>>29914351
Open it up.

>>29914351
Let's see this stuff.

>>29914367
>>29914399
You open it up to look at the stuff inside.
It was words that were extremely messy, but you could make them out so you began to read.
"Rust,

I just want to thank you for everything that you and your friends have done for me. You came and saved me from almost certain death and took me in, even though you didn't have to. You gave me and my species a second chance at life, protected me, and loved me. So: from the bottom of my heart,

Thank you, Kahurangi"

What do you do?

>>29914455
Tear up a little.
Thank you Kahurangi this means a lot to me.

>>29914487
You start to tear up a bit.
"Thank you Kahurangi," You sniff, "This means a lot to me."
She smiles before looking at you with concern.
"Are you crying?" She asks.

What do you do?

>>29914550
Well yes but it is because I am happy. Give her a hug.

Soooooo speaking of giving your species a second chance what do you think of Moana.

>>29914550
Tears of joy Kah, tears of joy.

>>29914577
>>29914616
"Tears of joy, Kah," You tell her; pulling her into a hug, "Tears of joy... Speaking of giving your species a second chance: What do you think of Moana."
"He's really nice," She smiles, "He's a pretty good singer too. He's kinda shy though."

What do you do?

>>29914701
I will have to listen to him sing then. Come on it is time to keep a lookout for the others.

>>29914716
"I will have to listen to him sing then," You tell her, "Come on, it is time to keep lookout for the others."
The three of you spend a minute or two looking for them before finding Eagle coming over with Cardea, Moana, and Fedot.
"I found them." Eagle tells you; trotting up to you.

What do you do?

>>29914761
That's good. I am thinking we should check the cargo bay for a way to keep in touch better.

Anyway I have something I wanted to show you all. Introduce them to hpa.

So I am guessing a gold piece is one timbre. How much are the silver pieces? Half a timbre?

>>29914816
Around half, but they aren't used very often in exchanges.

>>29914785
"That's good," You say, "I'm thinking we should check the cargo bay for a way to keep in touch better. Anyway: I have something I wanted to show you all."
You take Hpa out and show her to them.
"Hello," Hpa greets them, "I'm Hpa! Nice to meet you all!"
One by one everybody introduces themselves to Hpa, except for Kahurangi: Who was just staring at her as if trying to figure out how Hpa was even existing.

What do you do?

>>29914843
Oh yeah you guys did not have many storys about space did you. Hpa here is an artifical inteligence attatched to a hologram projector. The body is just light. Go on try to touch her.

>>29914866
"Oh yeah: You guys didn't have many stories about space did you," You remember, "Hpa here is an artificial intelligence attached to a hologram projector. The body is just light. Go on, try to touch her."
Kahurangi raises a claw and quickly swishes it through Hpa, causing her form to disappear. Only to reappear a few seconds later, but now with Hpa sticking her tongue out playfully, causing Kahurangi to frown a bit.

What do you do?

>>29914926
Give a chuckle. So Cardea do you think you could make some spider legs for Hpa to walk around on? Preferably ones that fold up so I can still easily carry her.

>>29914953
You chuckle at their antics. Turning to Cardea.
"Cardea, do you think you could make some spider legs for Hpa to walk around on? Preferably ones that fold up so I could still easily carry her."
"Maybe," Cardea replies, "I've never really made spider legs, but I've made things that are similar."

What do you do?

>>29915011
Great.
Now down to the real business at hand. Has anybody encountered anything they think we shoud purchase for the ship.

If nobody has say we are thinking about a full hologram setup for the a.i. In the intrest of full disclosure I do have an ulterior motive. I think it would be great to make holographic windigos for a hearths warming play but I do think it would prove useful in general. 237 timbres.

>>29915086
We still need to buy our weapon.

>>29915105
That to. We will decide it all after that stuff is worked out but for now we may as well mention the holograms.

>>29915086
>>29915105
>>29915133
"Great," You smile, "Now down to the real business at hoof: Has anybody encountered anything they think we should purchase for the ship?"
Nobody says anything.
"I was thinking about a full hologram setup for the A.I. In the interest of full disclosure I do have an ulterior motive: I think it would be great to make holographic windigos for the Hearth's Warming Play, but I do think it would prove useful in general. 237 Timbres."
"I still have a hundred," Moana says, "I haven't really bought anything."
"I still have a hundred as well." Fedot says.
"I have fifty remaining." Eagle chimes in.

What do you do?

>>29915175
Well that is good. In the intrests of saving our gold we will record how much everybody has in case we encounter another templar station rather then everybody holding onto their cash we may never use again. First purchase before we worry about holograms though is weapons. Who has found a weapon they liked.

>>29915202
"That is good," You say, "In the interests of saving our gold we will record how much everybody has encase we encounter another Templar Station rather then everybody holding onto cash we may never use again. First purchase before we worry about holograms though is weapons: Who has found a weapon they liked?"
"I found a nice pistol." Eagle replies.
"I found a Gauss Cannon," Fedot says, "But, It may be a little expensive."

What do you do?

>>29915273
If it will help us fight better I will bear most any cost. How much?

>>29915298
"If it will help us fight better I will bear the cost. How much?"
"250 Timbres." Fedot replies.

What do you do?

>>29915353
Laugh hard. Is that all, I was worried it might be somewhere in the thousands. Still we had better look over how much gold we have left in the cargo bay before buying that or the holograms.

Lets have some local food and then drop our shopping off on the ship.
Check the glossary of our history book to see if it has anything on the essential human foods. Maybe something american or Japanese.

>>29915398
You laugh hard at this.
"Is that all," You breath after laughing, "I was worried it might be somewhere in the thousands."
"The shopkeeper said the weapon was old and he's been trying to get rid of it for awhile so I'm planning on buying it." Fedot explains.
"Still," You say, "We better look over how much gold we have left in the cargo bay before buying that or the holograms."
Everybody agrees. The seven of you order some local food for lunch before heading back to the ship to check on the gold and drop off the shopping you have accumulated.
You check over the gold to find that most of the large crate was still full, the top layer only being halfway gone and Fedot finding a second crate of gold a bit later.
The seven of you take a small break, giving you time to look over your new history book. After looking over the glossary you find a section on food, which you quickly go to.
The Americans apparently made something popular when they were still around called a Hamburger, which was still made, mostly out of cow meat and several veggies stacked together between two buns. It was allowed as there was a large pasture on the station.
On the Japanese you find something called Sushi, which was fish rolled up around rice. Since there wasn't a lot of fish on the station and they didn't breed too often sushi was only served a few times a year.

What do you do?

>>29915558
If we still have that much gold get enough timbres to pay for the weapons and the hologram setup. Then go buy the weapons followed by the holograms. Find out if there is a range we can test our new weapons on.

Do not tell Sai or Javaxia what we are getting them.

>>29915584
Since you still had a lot of gold you take some bars, and gather up your crew without telling Sai or Javaxia. You exchange the gold for a few hundred more Timbres and the seven of you walk to the weapon area.
You buy the Woodland while Quiet Vine gets her laser pistol and Fedot grabs his Gauss Cannon, which was almost the size of Quiet Vine herself.
Quiet Vine decides to get a weapon herself: A old, slightly rusted looking Revolver. The shopkeeper promised her that it still worked and got him out of trouble many times.
You ask around for a range and you soon find a small one nearby, there were actually two, but people tended to use the bigger one. The smaller one being devoid of life, until the seven of you came in.
As you start setting up you notice Quiet Vine staring down at her new Revolver. Looking at it with uncertainty.

What do you do?

>>29915676
Give her a hug.
You will be using it to protect those important to you.

>>29915683
You trot over and give her a hug.
"You will be using it to protect those important to you." You tell her.
This seems to get her to calm down a bit as she slowly trots up to the firing window. With a shaking magical grip she carefully aims at the target at the end of the range.
*BANG*
"Eep!"
Before you could blink, Quiet Vine is shaking behind you. Her gun gently clattering to the ground. She fired a shot, but it went wild and ended up hitting a different target at the other end of the range.

What do you do?

>>29915747
Give her a hug. Would you like me to keep a hold of you while you fire.

I am a little unclear. Didn't Vine also shoot at that creature we killed on the electrical planet to save the native that forgot his spear. Guess in all the excitment we failed to notice there were only 3 guns firing.

Stopping a bit early. Classes are almost 2-3 weeks done so they've been hitting me hard with a lot of work, and less energy.
Have a good night or day!

>>29915804
I don't remember her firing.

>>29915822
Alright have a nice night .
It was right at the start so I can have a look.

Bumpity

>>29918758

>>29919455

>>29915764
You turn around and grab her in a hug.
"Would you like me to keep a hold of you while you fire?" You ask her; breaking the hug.
Quiet Vine nods and picks her gun up.
You grab a hold of her as she starts lining up the shot, her grip on it shaking.
*Bam!*
The shot it better this time, but ends up hitting the wall next to the target. Quiet Vine doesn't drop the gun, but she ends up squirming in your grip a bit before calming down.

What do you do?

>>29920724
See you can do it honey, give it another try.

>>29920762
I thought of a better way to phrase it. I knew you could do it honey. Give it another try.

>>29920806
Add a see before that and we are golden.
