Okay, the two groups re-sync and we pick up where Moonshadow left off-- introducing the party to her new-found friend Iris the dragon. Iris seems to like ponies in a non-food kind of way. I guess sometimes you can find good in a vicious-snarling-fire-breathing-could-eat-a-pony-in-one-bite dragon.
Iris: “My name's Iris. I hatched in the Crystal Mountains. I'm single and like long flights. My favorite foods are rubies and fawns.”
Doc: “If you like ruby coladas, and flying out in the rain
If you're not eating ponies, if you’ve baked half your brain
If you like watching films at midnight, in the holes underground
I'm the dragon you've looked for, write to me, and be found.”
Doc: “Viridia, you still going to seduce the dragon? Offer Iris some brownies, it might get you a +10.”
Doc: “So Livewire now has the ‘Worst Pony’ title? This like a hot potato that gets passed around?”
GM: “It's an office in Oakville's government.”
GM: “Here is Iris's character sheet.”
Doc: “Holy Bed-Head Celestia with a Mug of Coffee she's a sexy combat beast.”
GM: “She's killable! The party would just need to track down some light artillery cannons.”
Doc: “Yeah, only some light artillery.”
Moon: “Guess they don't. But the idea of a dragon as a librarian is pretty amusing.”
GM: “Movies containing Lead Zeppelin are often known to have strange time-warping properties.”
Doc: “What do you think of the curry?”
Mirror: (Face turning red, eyes watering) “Who eats this? What hell pit it came from?!”
Viridia: “I just know that as soon as we go in there, Iris will arrive and start humping Tirkes or something.”
Doc: “So I could have had a longer scene with Mirror instead of Plot Ex Machina? Darn!”
GM: “Naw, Mirror's being seduced by Andante, now, so Doc wouldn't want to be around for that.”
Doc: *Glare*
Moon: “I hate to interrupt, but it looks like it's starting to snow. Any chance you can carry the lamb and eat it once we're closer to Oakville?”
Iris: “Come on, little pone. Can't a girl have a breakfast without being all busy?” (Dragon Puppy Eyes)
Doc: “Something odd coming this way?”
Viridia: “Yeah. Something obtuse yet somehow incredibly vague. I'm guessing Tirkes' ethics.”
Stellar: “I wonder in what new ways having a dragon in town will make our lives interesting?”
Doc: “Besides making all the townsfolk jumpy?”
Viridia: “Yeah, the weather's been terrible since I was born. I'm going to have to write a strongly-worded letter to Celestia one of these days.”
Viridia: “I was planning to meet up with Moonshadow on the rooftop.”
Moon: “It's too bad that never happened, it would've made for an interesting twist/conversation.”
Viridia: “It only didn't happen 'cause Tirkes forced Viridia's hoof by riling up the hicks.”
Doc: “Tirkes wasn't shooting the reaver, but she at least put herself between the beast and Abbaas with her gun drawn, so there was some effort there.”
Viridia: “Number one Paladin, right here.”
Moon: “Hey Doc, hey Stellar. How's things? Want to meet my new friend, Iris?” (Points to dragon flying overhead)
Doc: “Well sure, guess that's a once in a lifetime thing. How do we want to get me and Iris to meet?”
GM: “Wrapped in bacon and with a bottle of barbecue sauce around your neck.”
