In Which the Goo is Resolidified

27 June 2014

17:08 Inky alights on her balcony, her belly sloshing faintly as she catches her breath from carrying the weight of two ponies up to the third floor. "We're here, Dusk!" she says, giving her swollen belly a pat. She opens the door and steps into the quiet room. "Not much to do now except wait for Gyro to show up. I suppose I ought to unlock the door for him," she muses.

17:11 GyroTech had already been on his way up the stairs to meet inky, though he found the door locked. Sighing a bit, he unlocks the door with his magic and steps in, figuring he'd have to wait for Inky to arrive, and not wanting to sit in the hallway.

17:14 GyroTech steps inside after unlocking the door.

17:16 Dusk rubs against the part of her belly where she patted "Well hopefully he doesn't take too long to show up."

17:18 Inky contemplates having to maneuver herself down and then up all those stairs and grimaces. "Oooor maybe I can do that later!" She walks to her bed instead and hefts herself onto it, making her belly squish and slosh as it drags over the side. Sequestering herself under the covers, the bat pony sighs and rubs her distended womb. "Hopefully not, yeah... though really, I don't mind staying like this for a while!"

17:23 Dusk continues to massage Inky's womb idly as she enjoys her warm spot. "I certainly don't mind being here, it's nice and comfy in here~"

17:27 Inky murrs at the massaging, her ears twitching as she relaxes. She cradles her warm, swollen belly with her hooves. "Mmmhmm." After a while, she thinks she hears the door to her room open, then close downstairs. Lifting her head off the pillow, she looks around, uncertain. "Hello?" she calls. "Gyro?"

17:38 GyroTech makes his way up the stairwell, opening up the top with a grin. "Oh, his inky, I knocked but you never answered, so I figured I beat you here." He says sheepishly.

17:40 Dusk perks up a bit in Inky's belly as she hears Gyro's voice, making her belly go a little mishapen as she does so. She doesn't say anything because she's still unsure of Gyro's reaction to her condition.

17:43 Inky blinks at GyroTech, and softly rubs her belly when she feels the gooey pony move inside. Her misshapen, distended belly is mostly hidden by the blankets, making it seem as though Dusk wasn't even here yet. "I didn't hear you knock," she says, tilting her head at the unicorn. "I could've sworn I locked that..." Her eyes widen with realization and then narrow. "Did you pick the lock again?"

17:52 GyroTech shrugs at Inky's question, making his way over to the bed and getting on. "whether or not it was locked is a question I suppose we'll never know the answer to." He responds. He looks around the room, noticing a lack of a certain pony. "Where is Dusk? I thought we were going to change her back before she started to infect the rest of us... I don't wanna be all slimy and magic less. I know you're not worried cause magic isn't that significant to you inky but I just couldn't bear it. I'd be ugly at that"

17:57 Dusk wriggles around inside Inky's womb, not ever hearing Gyro speak like that before. She still had the impression that he had been a nice, although playful, pony. "Y-you...think I'm infectious?"

18:00 Inky glares at the unicorn. "She's right here, Gyro," she says icily. THe mare squirms around until she can throw the covers off, revealing her belly swollen out with Dusk's gooey body. It shifts around slightly as the pony inside wriggles, making small lumps appear and disappear. Hugging her belly with three of her legs, she softly strokes it with a foreleg. "She's not /infectious/!"

18:08 GyroTech pulls away from inky as she reveals the bulge. "She's obviously sick from some magical goo spread disease. Not only did she devolve into some good creature that has the appearance of a pony, but also its made her ok with the whole thing affecting her mind. I told you playing with that other thing was dangerous. Look what it did to Dusk. Now let her out so that we can cure her"

18:12 Dusk writhes in a bout of anger "You obviously don't know a thing about what happened to me or even cared enough to listen, you ignorant fool. This is no disease. This is the result of magic plus a the head of a dragon"

18:17 Inky hugs her belly protectively as it writhes, her skin bulging and shifting around with Dusk's anger. "Don't listen to him, Dusk," she says. "I'd hoped he'd change his tune when in your presence, but apparently not." The bat pony looks back at GyroTech, eyes hard. "I'm not letting you near Dusk until you treat her like a pony. And leave Izzel out of this!"

18:23 GyroTech sighs and shakes his head Sadly. "It seems the disease even implanted false memories in her head of absolutely ridiculous scenarios. Dragons can't do that." The unicorn fishes a flask out of his bags. "Cmon, let her out so we can cure her. You know, make her /actually/ a pony again."

18:26 < Dusk> "What in equestria are you on about Gyro, is the idiocy that ingrained? To where you can't accept what actually happened as the truth?"

18:44 Inky shakes her head vigorously, still hugging her belly tightly. "No! Not until you apologize!" She leans forward to peer at the flask. "And what's in that flask?"

18:50 GyroTech holds the flask out to Inky so that she can inspect it. "Its half the spell. I had to bug a stripey to fix it up for me." Very distinct blue petals were suspended in an orange liquid. "I'm sorry Dusk, even though it wasn't my fault that this terrible thing happened to you."

18:55 Dusk groans "You act like it's such a bad thing. The only really big thing that I've lost from this is the fact that I can't fly. I don't think I should be taking something that you don't even know what it is. I'd fare better finding my own solution."

18:58 Inky rubs her belly. "You don't have to if you don't want to, Dusky! Nopony's gonna force you," she coos. "Though I think it's legit; I remember a potion being involved in the spell we found."

19:00 Inky retroactively shoots GyroTech a nasty glare when he says "stripey".

19:06 GyroTech shakes his head at Dusk. "Its truly an awful thing. I couldn't live with myself is I became goo... Anyways I'm sure that zebra knew what she was doing. They're good at that to make up for stripeys lacking any magic. Now come on out."

19:15 < Dusk> "Why should I? You've given me no reason to want to actually solve this issue which isn't really that problematic. Sure it'd satisfy my own curiosities, and help me fly again...but I can't tell whether or not you care or are just being a ignorant asshole and trying to have things your own way"

19:24 Inky curls up and presses her nose into her squishy belly, nuzzling Dusk through her plush walls. "I care, Dusky! And I know it was bothering you. Don't let Gyro force you one way or the other." She nuzzles her womb again. "I'll support you no matter what you choose!"

19:32 GyroTech looks incredulously at the bulge. "Of course I care about you. You're a wonderful mare and normally quite beautiful at that. I just want you to be happy, so it's important that you get cured of this illness. You're important to me Dusk and I don't want to lose you." He says, as if he thought she was dying.

19:44 Inky curls up and presses her nose into her squishy belly, nuzzling Dusk through her plush walls. "I care, Dusky! And I know it was bothering you. Don't let Gyro force you one way or the other." She nuzzles her womb again. "I'll support you no matter what you choose!"

19:44 GyroTech looks incredulously at the bulge. "Of course I care about you. You're a wonderful mare and normally quite beautiful at that. I just want you to be happy, so it's important that you get cured of this illness. You're important to me Dusk and I don't want to lose you." He says, as if he thought she was dying.

19:47 Dusk ponders a bit before groaning a bit "Alright then...it's a fairly important feeling for me to be able to fly...it was kind of the whole basis behind my current project. Whilst I don't agree with you viewing it as an illness Gyro, our desires coencide. Give me a minute" She startes to put pressure against Inky's cervix playfully stimulating the mare a bit as she starts to make her exit

19:51 Inky gives her belly a thankful squeeze, then shoots Gyro a look. "And it's not an illness! Stop calling it th---ngh," she says, getting cut off as her occupant presses out against her cervix. "H-Hold on." The mare shifts herself to the side of the bed and rolls on top of her distended womb, flagging her tail in the air to expose her puffy lips. "O-Okay, I'm ready," she says, loosening up her cervix to let the gooey pony out.

20:01 GyroTech looks pretty smug as Dusk finally concedes and decides to come on out. "Good. I can't wait to cure you and get my cute little Dusk back."

20:02 Dusk doesn't regard Gyro's words as she continues to make her way out, sliding past the little ring bit by bit as it relaxes, her gooey form starting to pour out onto the bed.

20:06 Inky tries to chastise GyroTech for saying "cure" again, but all that comes out is a low murr as the gooey pony's body slides through her tunnel. She feels her belly start to shrink under her as more of Dusk makes its way out, bringing her closer to the bed. The sight of translucent goo spreading her marehood open is an interesting one indeed.

20:18 < Inky> sticky *

20:18 < Inky> and slimy *

20:25 GyroTech slides back even further from Inky as Dusk begins to flow on out. The stallion lets out a cry of surprise and pain as he scoots too far back and tumbles into a heap on the wooden floor.

20:27 Dusk finally lets her core press past the mare's wide open lips, letting the rest of herself start to reform on the bed as her usual pony self

20:31 Inky feels her belly shrink almost all the way back to normal, letting out a cute squeak when the core presses past her puffy lips. She looks up at the goo pony on her bed, smiling. The mare crawls forward and sits up, nuzzling at Dusk's neck as the last bits of the pegasus trickle down out of her womb. She turns towards Gyro and bursts into a giggling fit when she sees him in a heap on the floor.

20:49 GyroTech slowly recollect himself, getting to his hooves and looks on fearfully at Dusk. "Well Umm... I guess we better get started now... Maybe. I want my Dusk back."

20:51 Dusk looks at Gyro, holding out a hoof and motioning for him to come over "What? I'm the same pony you've known. What're you so scared of."

20:56 Inky looks a bit more serious, and furrows her brow. "And why do you keep saying 'your' Dusk, anyway?"

21:00 GyroTech looks at Dusk fearfully and doesn't approach her. "But I don't wanna become goo by getting infected. I just want the Dusk I know and is my friend back."

21:02 Dusk shakes her head at him "It's obvious that you're so unwilling to accept the fact I'm the very same pony and I'm not carrying some infectious disease. It appears that first impression shouldn't be relied on. I thought you were a good friend... but now you simply refuse to listen."

21:05 Inky sighs and looks down at Gyro. "Why're you so convinced she's infectious anyway? She's never event /met/ Izzel!" She drapes a forehoof over Dusk's back. "Is there anything she could do to prove she's the same pony?"

21:21 GyroTech squints his eyes at Inky. "It's because you said she was OK with this earlier, and no pony in their right mind would want that. You even admitted to that earlier inky. So thus she has to be sick and it's affecting her head. And most sicknesses of magical origin are contagious" He reasons. "Shell be fine once we cure her though..."

21:25 Dusk frowns to him, hopping off of the bed and glaring up at him as she approach him "You don't even understand what happened to me....and you keep calling it a cure." She gets a few inches away from his muzzle before looking into his eyes, a flicker of rage in her own "I. DON'T. have. a. Disease."

21:30 Inky eeps as Dusk pulls away and hops off the bed, and she follows after her, still dribbling a little on the ground. "H-Hey, calm down guys..."

21:35 GyroTech looks a bit frightened as Dusk approaches him, yet he also thinks enough to uncorked the flask and sprinkle the potion on top of the goo pony, hoping the solution absorbs like it's supposed to. "i-i-i- I did it" he stutters out triumphantly.

21:37 Dusk watches the potion slide down her side amnd looks up to him, her brow furrowed "You...don't even understand how a goo pony works do you...and is that..." Her eyes widen and she suddenly collapses on the ground, writhing quite a bit

21:40 Inky watches, eyes wide as Gyro sprinkles the potion on top of Dusk, unknowingly holding her breath. When the goo pony collapses, she gasps, crouching down next to her. "Dusk? DUSK!" she squeals, her face lined with worry. "Are you okay? What's happening?" The bat pony looks up at Gyro, shocked. "W-What did you do to her?!"

21:46 GyroTech pounces on the collapsed goo pony and begins to rub the solution in frantically, shuddering at the strange feeling under his hooves. "Help me inky, I don't know what happens if we don't get enough in."

21:48 Dusk screams a bit at the searing pain, the parts where the potion being smeared in starting to smolder and harden. Still flailing her hooves around against him

21:53 Inky blinks, her eyes tearing up. "Y-you're hurting her! Is this what's supposed to happen?" She lifts up her hooves and hesitates, unsure of whether to help Gyro or try to stop him. "I-If you care about her so much why didn't you wait and do it right?!"

21:56 GyroTech rubs even more vigorously, looking relieved as Dusk starts to become herself. "Because she was becoming aggressive and I didn't want her to do something she'd regret when she's herself again.... Now help me save her!"

21:57 Dusk continues to scream and groan, the process not stopping at making her solid, but cracking the surface, blackening it a bit as a bit of ash comes off of the surface

22:02 Inky stops and stares at GyroTech, dumbfounded. Then she punches him in the face. "She /is/ herself," the mare says through gritted teeth. She turns to Dusk and starts frantically trying to spread out and rub in the potion as much as possible so it wasn't so concentrated. "I'll help you change her back, not 'save' her!"

22:28 GyroTech falls over after the solid hit, whimpering. He was also begininng to notice that his hooves were buring some as well. After he recovers, he returns back to Dusk and helps Inky rub in the last of it. "Save her, change her back...whats the difference?" He asks, glad that Inky hadn't started rubbing before punching him, as his hooves were really burning now.

22:31 Dusk falls silent as they finish rubbing it in, shuddering a little bit, and her eyes blankly staring at the opposite wall. The place where Gyro had initially started rubbing the concentrated potion into had turned a charred black and the rest of her was a darker ashy color, much darker than her usual coat.

22:34 Inky ignores GyroTech, focusing only on Dusk as they seem to run out of potion to rub in. "Dusk, are you okay? Dusky?" she asks, waving a hoof in front of the mare's blank stare. "I-I'm so sorry..."

22:38 GyroTech gently pushes inky away from Dusk as he prepares for the final bit. "Ok Inky...Now I gotta cast the final bit of the spell...Stand back." Gyro concentrates and an eerie green glow envelops the mare as she's lifted just barely off of the ground. THe stallion then concentrates on slowly heating her up to a pretty warm temperature, setting the potion in and burning away the chared sections to reveal a fleshy mare underneath.

22:42 Dusk is still lifelessly limp as she is lifted off of the ground, a low groan emmiting from her mouth as it hangs open. The ashy bits start to flake off, revealing the fur that was underneath, except for the initial spot which still had a very charred black scab look to it.

22:45 Inky sits back on her haunches, not taking her eyes off the pegasus. She shakes her hooves idly as they start to sting, but thinks nothing of it. The mare watches Dusk with bated breath, sighing with relief when she sees her in the flesh. "Dusk!"

22:52 GyroTech sets the mare back down on the ground with a sigh of relief. He moves forward to hug Dusk, before suddenly realizing that his hooves still had some potion on them, which upon examination, left a similar back char on top. "I guess I should of known that a phoenix potion would involve fire..." he says, before heading to Inky's washroom to clean off those stinging hooves.

22:55 Dusk lies lifelessly on the floor, her eyes still open and the shocked expression still on her face. Her breath was a faint little whisper at this point, shock had already set in.

22:59 Inky glances from Gyro back to the pegasus lying on the floor, then rushes forwards and hugs her. "Dusk, say something! Are you okay?" She presses an ear to her chest, listening to make sure that she's still breathing.

23:02 GyroTech returns quickly after washing off his hooves enough that he was sure he wouldn't burn Dusk anymore. He rushes over to the mare and presses his hooves over her body, trying to make sure that everything was alright and safe. "I think...I think she's alright now Inky. We did it." He states happily.

23:05 Dusk lets out a little groan, trying to curl up against the source of heat against her, shuddering quite a bit.

23:08 Inky feels Dusk shudder and try to press into her and hugs her tighter, nuzzling against the mare. "It's okay, it's over now," she says softly.

23:11 GyroTech turns to inky and whispers, "You probably ought to go clean up...we don't need Dusk getting any more sick from that residue...actually It'd probably be best i fwe carry her to the shower now..."

23:16 Dusk continues to groan as she presses into the mare, as unconcious as her actions were it seemed like she wanted to stay there

23:20 Inky shakes her head vehemently. "No! Not after how you treated her!" She cradles the mare, noticing that the stinging on her her hooves was getting worse. "You're probably right about the potion, though." The bat pony struggles to get Dusk onto her back so she can carry her.

23:33 GyroTech looks at Inky incredulously. "Look, that is huring her probably with the residue. We need to wash both you and her off. Its for the best." He says quite resolutely, trying to help dusk onto Inky's back. "Look I care about her, thats why we did this."

23:35 Dusk still isn't responsive enough to even aqknowledge what's happening to her, although she's stopped groaning at this point

23:42 Inky shoulders Dusk's weight as the two of them heft her up, then plods towards the shower. She stops in the doorway, not letting GyroTech through. "That's why /I/ did this. I don't think you care about anyone but yourself." She glares at him. "All your reasons were about you! You wanted /your/ Dusk back!"

04:18 Inky glances from Gyro back to the pegasus lying on the floor, then rushes forwards and hugs her. "Dusk, say something! Are you okay?" She presses an ear to her chest, listening to make sure that she's still breathing.

04:21 GyroTech returns quickly after washing his hooves to come and examine the mare. "Shouldn't she be awake by now? I didn't think the potion was supposed to cause any harm...but...maybe we should get help. She looked like she reacted pretty violently to it..."

04:23 Dusk twitches a bit, her body still quite numb. Her mind clouded and fuzzy. It felt like she was in shaking fuzzly little room as she felt her body sluggishly respond to any sort of thought she had.

04:27 Inky looks up at GyroTech, her eyes wide and fearful. "She doesn't feel good, she feels cold, and she's breathing too fast..." The bat pony starts trying to shift Dusk onto her back. "I think she needs help!"

04:31 GyroTech nods at the mare with a look of worry on his face. "Alright umm...I guess get her up on my back unless you think you can fly safely with her and lets get some proffessional help. You should wash that crap off your hooves before you get hurt."

04:31 < GyroTech> "This wasn't supposed to happen..."

04:33 Dusk feels the world tumble around her as she's thrown onto the mare's back, her senses betraying her as she feels everything spiral about with the movement.

04:38 Inky grunts as she shoulders the mare's weight. "No! I can carry her-- ngh, fine!" She looks down at her hooves, which were starting to sting. "Y-yeah," she says, and starts to make her way towards the bathroom. "Nice to know that you just /dumped/ this on her!"

04:44 GyroTech helps steady Dusk as Inky heads towards the bathroom, making sure to grab a towel to work in between Inky and Dusk to protect her back from the substance. "I told you. It wasn't supposed to do this. The zebra didn't warn me of any side effects as such...I...I wouldnt of..." The unicorn says in a pleading tone.

04:46 Dusk retches unconsciously as her half conscious mind is still unable to wrap around what's going on in her environment.

04:50 Inky hair stands up and she cringes as she hears the pegasus retch. She quickly washes her hooves and then turns to leave. "We'll talk later," the mare says, her anger at Gyro evident in her voice. "Right now, we have to help her..."

04:50 Inky 's *

04:57 GyroTech nods towards Inky and tries to help her out the door, making sure that Dusk doesn't contact the door frame. "You're right, We need to move quickly to fix this..." He turns to look at Dusk as she begins to vomit. "Dusk...I'm so sorry..." He says, leaning down to give her a nuzzle.

05:00 Dusk continues to make little noises as she is carried along, shuddering a bit as they carry her. The words don't exactly fall on deaf ears, but what Dusk hears isn't exactly intelligible in her state

05:03 Inky hails a horse-drawn cart to take them to the hospital. Her ears are folded against her head as she feels Dusk shuddering on her back, and her face is lined with worry. "Gyro," she says, "If she... if you..."

05:07 GyroTech winces as his muzzle begins to burn from a little bit of the residue still left on the mares body. Gyro doesn't even meet Inky's eyes as he stares at the ground, half hanging out of the cart. His tail was low and tucked very far between his legs. "It...it wasn't supposed to be like this..." He says, helplessly.

05:11 Dusk retches another few times, her throat forming a spherical bulge as her core works its way up

05:19 Inky turns to see the bulge make its way to Dusk's mouth, and watches the slick core fall into the cart. Realizing where she'd seen it before, her eyes widen. "Gyro, pick that up!"

05:24 GyroTech turns around, startled as Inky shouts at him, nearly falling out of the cart. He looks around before he notices the ball. "huh?...Oh...Oh!" He grabs it with his magic, levitating it up in a glowing green aura. "This...but...I thought she was no longer a slime?"

05:29 Dusk 's breathing slows down as she finishes, still mostly unconscious. She her body starts to go limp again

05:33 Inky shrugs. "Well... maybe that's why she coughed it up?" The cart pulls up to the hospital, and the bat pony wastes no time in trying to get down, though she has trouble doing it by herself.

05:38 GyroTech studdies it idly as it floats there, reaching a hoof forward to touch at the object. "I hope thats what it is...I'd hate for this to mean we failed after all that..."

05:40 Dusk slowly starts to twitch as she emits a little groan.

05:45 Inky feels Dusk start to slip as she disembarks, and freezes, half on and half off the cart. "Gyro? Help, please?" she says, her ears perking up as she hears Dusk make a sound. "Dusk! Dusk, can you hear me?"

05:48 GyroTech retracts his hoof. "Ugh...its all slimy..." He perks up as soon as Inky calls for his help, hopping out of the cart and trying to situate Dusk back onto the batmare's back. "Oh! I think thats's a good sign she's moving. Maybe she's alright!" He says excitedly, helping to steady Inky as he leads her into the building.

05:50 Dusk is starting to regain a smidge of consciousness, her limbs clumsily starting to bump things as she realizes that she still has them and tries to balance herself

05:53 Inky is heartened by the feeling of Dusk moving her legs around. "Maybe! We should get her checked out just to be safe," she says, getting them in line for the emergency room.

05:57 GyroTech looks around at the long line of ponies and grimaces. "Ugh...this line is gonna take forever...We need to make sure she gets seen right away..." Walks out of line and heads to the front and gets into a heated discussion with the clerk at the front desk.

05:58 Dusk lets out a bit of a huff as she finally rests against Inky's back lying still. Her breaths growing more steady

06:01 Inky watches Gyro walk over to the desk, begrudgingly grateful to the unicorn. She relaxes more as Dusk's breathing steadies, feeling more confident that the pegasus was going to be all right. "It's okay Dusk, I-- we... I'm here for you."

06:07 GyroTech returns just a little bit later with a smug look on his face and says excitedly to Inky, "Alright, I threw my weight around and managed to get us to the thront of the line. Just follow me." The unicorn leads them up past the counter to the door to that leads to the doctors wing. "They should be with us shortly."

06:12 Dusk groans a bit as she feels that she's being jostled about once again

06:15 Inky tries to give Gyro a glare, but her expression softens. "...thank you," she says, as she follows him. "Sorry," she whispers to Dusk, hearing the pegasus groan at the movement.

06:21 GyroTech nods at Inky, waiting at the door which soon opens to admit them. The doctor asks what happened, to which Gyro explains that they'd been trying to cure Dusk of a disease and the cure went horribly wrong. He neglects to mention what the disease was and what they'd done to cure it though.

06:25 Dusk takes a few hours to regain her facilities and it all sort of feels like a fuzzy bad dream with the last lingering thoughts of Gyro pouring the potion onto her seared into the back of her mind by what she thinks of as pain. She cracks her eyes open slowly as she starts to flail but doesn't as she realizes shes laying on a bed, looking at the two ponies

06:28 Inky had settled into a stony silence, pointedly not looking at GyroTech as she waited at Dusk's bedside. When the pegasus stirs, she perks up and leaps forwards, standing up with her forelegs on the bed. "Dusk! You're okay!" she says, relief evident on her face.

06:32 GyroTech waited on the opposite side of the bed as Inky, waiting anxiously, hoping that the doctors did good work. His thoughts are on Dusk and what he did and so he completly ignores Inky's coldness towards him, worry drowing it out. As soon as Dusk perks up Gyro throws his hooves around Dusk's neck, blocking Inky off. "Dusk...I'm so so sorry...I shouldn't have done that..."

06:34 Dusk gags a bit as she's pulled back, unable to really relent at all and eeps in surprise "...you're so hard headed...y'know?" She manages to get out as she recovers

06:41 Inky shoves the stallion back on impulse, glaring at him angrily. "Let her rest! I don't think you're sorry at all, Gyro. At least not for the right things!"

06:47 GyroTech smiles slightly at Dusk's remarks before getting violently shoeved away by the mare. He's not quite able to release Dusk quickly enough from his hug and half drags the mare off the bed with him. "Ugh..." he grunts as hge tumbles backwards, leaving Dusk partially hanging off of the bed.

06:50 Dusk squeaks as she tumbles off of the bed, unable to maintain her traction with the amount of time she's spent conscious "A-ahh!" She groans as she starts to collect herself on the ground at Gyros hooves.

06:54 Inky 's eyes widen and she squeaks as Dusk slides off the bed. "Sorry! Sorry sorry sorry sorry," she says quickly, rushing around the bed to help the mare up.

07:00 GyroTech grungs again as Dusk lands on him and he instinctually wraps his hooves around the mare to proct her. "Are-are you alright there dusk?" He asks, releasing the mare as Inky comes to help her up. He then turns to scold Inky, "Be more careful! I don't want her to get hurt!"

07:02 Dusk looks up at him and cringes "Calm down you...I wouldn't have been like this had you just listened to reason..." she doesn't make much of a move to get out of his hooves despite her statement.

07:11 Inky nuzzles Dusk and tries to help her back into the bed. "Then you should have followed the instructions on that potion," she says, fuming. In her anger, she's ignoring that that isn't really a fair complaint.

07:17 GyroTech lets go of the mare his head turning to the side as he stares at the ground, ears folded flat against his head. The stallion looks fully couwed as he lies there, speechless.

07:20 Dusk grunts a bit as she clambers back into bed, sighing deeply before leaning over to Inky, giving her a little nuzzle and looking back at Gyro "Look...I think I understand your intentions. I just...wish you would have put some actual thought into what I was saying."

07:23 Inky glares at Gyro again, then turns back to Dusk after her nuzzle and leans her head against the pegasus, letting out a long sigh of her own. "I'm sorry, Dusk..."

07:27 GyroTech has a sorrowful whining in his voice as he speaks. "I-I-I didn't mean to...I was only doing what I'd of want done for me if that happened...it was supposed to make you happy and you again...I'm...I'm...I'm sorry dusky." Gyro looks like he's on the verge of tears as his eyes start to get red.

07:30 Dusk sighs and furrows her brow at him, the images of what he had done just a few hours prior still there. Flashed into her head. She doesn't like seeing him like this though...it hurts her because she does actually care for him... "Come here..." She extends a hoof and lets a slight smile come across her muzzle

07:36 Inky sighs again and presses her nose into Dusk's body, her rage fading and being replaced with nebulous irritation. She grumpily steps to the side as Dusk reaches out for Gyro.

07:41 GyroTech cries softly, dampening his hes fur as he lies there, his sad look becoming replaced by a tenuous smile as Dusk becons for him. He slowly gets to his hooves and walks over to her, giving her a big hug and burying his teary face into her chest. "Oh Dusk, I was so worried..."

07:45 Dusk hugs and nuzzles into him softly "I'm going to be alright...I think. Just...please learn to listen to us..." She sighs softly as her own fur is matted by his tears

07:48 Inky hmphs to herself, then remembers something. "Gyro, what'd you do with that thing she coughed up?"

07:55 GyroTech nods slightly in Dusks funr. "I will...Sorry i didn't listen sooner..." Gyro pulls away and perks up at the mares question. "What did I...Oh...I think I might of accidentally left it on the counter when I got us in...I don't know what they migh tof done with it..."

07:57 Dusk blinks "Wait...what did I cough up?"

08:08 Inky turns back to Dusk. "It was that core-thing that you had in you when you were all gooey."

08:10 GyroTech sighs gently and turns to walk out of the room. "I'll go find it I guess, though you seem to be fully no longer goo...."

08:11 Dusk nods happily "Oh! Awesome...I've got a few ideas of what to do with it." She sticks her tongue out a bit at Inky.

08:13 Inky tilts her head and blushes faintly. "O-oh? You do?" She gives GyroTech a slightly nod of acknowledgment as he leaves.

16:23 GyroTech returns quickly with the one covered orb, which was now residing in a biohazard bag. "It was in the pile of stuff to incinerate, glad we remembered it." He sets the bag down infront of Dusk.

16:24 Dusk smiles to Gyro for actually bringing it back "Ooh! You found it thank you!"

16:31 Inky leans in to rub her nose against Dusk's, still not really paying attention to GyroTech.

16:32 GyroTech nods in acknowledgment and then wraps his hooves over both inky and Dusk. "I think they said when she woke up she could be dismissed if she passed a cursory exam."

16:36 Dusk nods to him "Well I think I'm mostly fine...I'll go ahead and do that." She nuzzles into Inky and pulls her close "Thank you bringing me here...both of you"

16:38 Inky sighs happily as the pegasus nuzzles her and pulls her close. "I wish we didn't need to..."

16:42 GyroTech nuzzles into Dusks neck, careful not to get in between the who. "Ya... I wish that the book or the zebra had mentioned the risks... I'm glad you're back to normal now though." Gyro sneezes the pair tightly and huts the nurse call button with his magic.

16:49 Dusk sighs and leans into the embrace "I wish you'd have just listened in the first place and we could've done it all calm and controlled. Might've ended differently"

16:52 Inky slips a foreleg under GyroTech and gives Dusk a protective squeeze. "I still can't believe you treated her like that," she mumbles.

16:55 GyroTech frowns and looks at Dusk. "You didn't seem interested in the cure at all, it was all I could do for you..." Just then, the nurse walks in so Gyro pulls out of the hug to give her room to work.

16:57 Dusk looks at the nurse with a smale smile, answering any of the questions she asked, still shying away from what exactly happened. Once she's finished the nurse makes her exit and she turns back to her friends "Look Gyro...just give me some time...maybe I'll be able to look past what happened."

17:00 Inky , who'd been biting her tongue the whole time, stamps her hoof when the nurse leaves. "It's not a disease!"

17:03 GyroTech snorts, "Yes because ponies turning into slime are perfectly normal... Anyways, u guess we can leave now. Wanna go get some dinner?" he asks, quickly changing the subject.

17:05 Dusk sighs and nods a bit "I'm quite hungry myself...I'll leave it up to Inky though. I'm not quite there yet as far as y'know...my emotions about what you did. I'll go if Inky wants to though."

17:09 Inky narrows her eyes and shakes her head vehemently. "No! Not unless he apologizes for earlier."

17:14 GyroTech nods at Dusks words and pulls away to give a pleading look at Inky, to which he gets rejected. "But--but I did apologise. I'm so very sorry for everything that happened It wasn't supposed to be like that..."

17:22 Dusk sighs and looks down "And I've accepted that. It's just that I've got that image of you quite burned into my head..."

17:24 Inky growls and rears back, slamming both her forehooves into the floor. Her wings flare out in agitation. "NO! I don't care about that! You haven't apologized for what you did before that!"

17:32 GyroTech stumbles backwards a couple steps from the bed , looking prettu upset. "What? What did I do? I just helped Dusk get back to normal and that didn't quite go as planned..." He squeaks out, shaking just a little bit.

17:32 Dusk sighs and looks at him "You refused to accept that that was who I was is what I think she means..."

17:51 Inky steps forwards as Gyro back pedals, trying to loom over him. "You kept acting like she wasn't herself! You /forced/ her into turning back!"

17:53 GyroTech stumbles and falls backwards, ending up staring straight up at Inky, "But...but...if I were goo, I'd want somepony to turn me back even if I refused, cause I obviously wouldnt be acting myself. Do unto others right?"

17:56 Dusk hops off of the bed and bumps Inky's cheek with her nose, trying to move her a bit away from him "Please stop this...I've forgiven him because I understood his intentions...swaying his beliefs is something I don't think is going to happen." She turns back to Gyro "What you're not getting is that I was myself. I was the very same pony, heart and soul, that I am now. You're not getting that and you hurt me over it."

18:00 Inky opens her mouth to yell at GyroTech again, but is interrupted by Dusk bumping her cheek. The angry bat pony sighs and turns to Dusk, throwing her forelegs around her and burying her muzzle in her mane. Her wings hang limply at her sides. "S-sorry, I just..."

18:06 GyroTech sighs in releif as Dusk manages to calm down Inky, though he seems a little hurt by the current state of affairs as well.. "But...but...why would you be happy being a slime...Its...its so icky and limiting..." THe unicorn says in a confused voice.

18:08 Dusk shakes her head and sighs "It wasn't icky. I could control my consistency just fine. And I could also mold myself into almost any shape. The imagination was the limit. It's just that I couldn't fly without help.

18:10 Inky squeezes Dusk and nuzzles at her neck. "It had its... benefits," she says.

18:18 GyroTech folds his ears down flat against his head, finding himself defeated..."but but...thast like not being able to do magic right? THat sounds absolutly awful...but...if you liked it...I guess...I guess I'm sorry...Didn't it hurt intimacy though?" He says, flailing around for something coherent.

18:20 Dusk shakes her head and nuzzles into Inky, giving her a kiss before leaning into her embrace "Not really...it provides plenty of options as far as that went. Although you're right there are certain aspects that couldn't happen."

18:29 Inky snickers and blushes. "Given how you found us... Not quite." She murrs at the kiss and gives Dusk a peck in return.

18:31 GyroTech bites his lip and stifles a giggle at Inky, "Well...I mean...that's great for you and all I guess...but like what about pleasuring her?"

18:33 Dusk blinks at Gyro and shakes her head "Although I wasn't capable of a sort of climax, it's not hard to please me in that form. I enjoyed contact in general."

18:36 Inky tries to hide her blushing face in Dusk's mane. "Can, can we stop talking about this in public...?" she asks, sounding uncomfortable.

18:42 GyroTech snickers at Inky's uncomfortableness and shrugs, looking around. "We havn't exactly left the the room. THere's no one here to overhear us..." He then frowns at Dusk's response. "Sure...but inst the climax and that bit the best part? Seems like that's missing alot."

18:43 Dusk shakes her head "Not when the rest of you is in ecstacy and you can literally respond with your entire body to please your partner."

18:46 Inky meeps and covers Dusk's mouth with a hoof, trying to muffle her. "Dusk, shhh," she hisses, her purple-gray face tinged bright red. "I'm sure Dusk wants to get home and rest," she says, frantically trying to change the subject.

18:53 GyroTech hmms, actually seeming a little intrigued by the idea. "Well then...maybe it is a shame one couldn't just do it on the fly, sounds kind of fun actually...as long as you wouldn't have to stay that way." He reaches a hoof forward and gently pushes Inky's hoof away. "Oh cmon, let the mare speak. Anyways, I think she was hungry."

18:55 Dusk nods a bit and sighs as she nips at the mare's hoof that's covering her mouth "Mhm. Although I'm still on the fence about going out though..."

19:02 Inky pulls her hoof away and gives Dusk another squeeze. "You're the one who was wronged, so I'll leave it up to you, Dusky."

19:05 GyroTech looks at the mare pleedingly, hoping that she would agree to go to lunch with him. "Please please Dusky~"

19:12 Dusk sighs and nods to him "I suppose... just...don't dump anything else on me."

19:19 Inky steps down from her hug, leaving one of her forelegs draped across Dusk's withers. "Well, then.. where to?"

19:42 GyroTech shrugs and looks at the pair of them. "Well, I'm assuming that Dusk hasn't had /real/ food in a bit, so whatever she happens to be craving."

19:44 Dusk frowns to him "I've eaten normally you silly pony, but you're kinda right. I've not gone out to eat. I crave noodles of a sort right about now though."

19:51 Inky nods. "Noodles it is!" She moves to head out, ready to support Dusk if she stumbles since she's probably still unused to being solid again.

19:57 GyroTech nods with a smile. "Alright I guess we'll go to noodles, and I thought slimes subsisted on fluids and stuff...thats waht that crazy izzel pony said at one point..."

20:00 Dusk smiles and shakes her head "It's not like I can't eat things normally though. Things dissolve and I can taste it." She nuzzles Inky and leans against her a bit as she gets used to using her legs

20:03 GyroTech nods with a smile. "Alright I guess we'll go to noodles, and I thought slimes subsisted on fluids and stuff...thats waht that crazy izzel pony said at one point..."

20:03 Dusk smiles and shakes her head "It's not like I can't eat things normally though. Things dissolve and I can taste it." She nuzzles Inky and leans against her a bit as she gets used to using her legs

20:04 Inky lets Dusk lean on her as they leave the hospital, letting the pegasus steer her towards a noodle place. "Don't talk about Izzel like that," she hisses at GyroTech.

20:17 GyroTech shrugs at Inky's comments as they make their way to the place. Quickly they make their way to the resturant and take a seat, looking over the menues. "Well, I'm sure that this will taste even better since it'll mix correctly at least. I think I'll go with the Roasted eggplant soup."

20:19 Dusk smiles and sits next to Inky happily as she looks over her own menu. "I suppose...I'm going to get some alfredo. Cheese and noodles sounds really nice."

20:22 Inky leans against Dusk and smiles. She scans the menu, and then reads over it again, before looking up sheepishly at the two other ponies. "I uh, haven't really eaten noodles very much before. What's good?"

20:26 GyroTech shrugs at the mare. "Any of their soups are really good, actually, most of what they have is really good. The only thing I'd avoid is their pesto sauce. Its not that great."

20:30 Dusk nods to Inky "Mhm. I agree. Most everything is good."

20:33 Inky shrugs. "Well.. I think I know what spaghetti is at least," she says with a grin.

20:36 GyroTech smiles at the pair, waiting paitently for the food to get there. "Mmm that is a good choice" He then sits there in silence waiting for Inky or Dusk to start up a conversation.

20:37 Dusk smiles at Inky and nosies her gently "Hey. I've got a few ideas of what I can do with my core. Since Gyro kept it. Thank you for actually getting it for me."

20:39 Inky grins and perks her tufted ears up. "O-oh? You said that earlier... but you never told me what they were~!"

20:46 GyroTech tils his head curiously at the mare. "Ya, what are ya doing to do with it anyway? Do you still have a connection to it?"

20:48 Dusk nods "I'm fairly sure I can use it to go back and forth. I'm going to look into it, but I there's the possibility. It wouldn't have to be a permanent thing now that I know a surefire way to change back...albiet not perfect."

20:54 Inky shudders and hugs Dusk tightly. "I don't want you to have to go through that transformation again, Dusky, that seemed really, really painful!" The mare brightens up slightly. "But if you can figure out how to do it better, well... I wouldn't mind," she says, blushing lightly.

20:57 GyroTech eyes the mare incredulously, balking at the idea. "But...the transformation nearly killed you...and its not like that particular potion is cheap either...its not something you get off the shelf, and you'd need me for transforming back. Please dont put yourself through that..."

20:58 Dusk shakes her head "I'm fairly sure I can do it better once I figure out the magic behind my core. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine and I'm not going to change back right away or anything, just let me have my time with it."

21:03 Inky nuzzles Dusk quietly until their food arrives, and then digs in, getting a fair bit of the red tomato sauce all over her muzzle. "You're right, this is good," she says over a mouthful of noodles.

21:11 GyroTech sighs in relief, "Good, just promise not to do anything if you can't figure out a /safe/ way back." He turns to slurp up some of his soup. "Quite good indeed."

21:13 Dusk nods and takes a few bites of her noodles "I promise I won't...unless there's some reason I have to. But that shouldn't happen."

21:17 Inky unfurls a wing and drapes it over Dusk's back as she eats. "Stay safe, Dusky," she says, before returning to messily scarfing down her food.

21:22 GyroTech nods over at her, "I can't think of any reason that you would have to, short of saving your own skin...so that would be worth it..." Gyro steals a peak at Inky's noodles and tries to grab one that she grabs as well, trying to slurp it into a kiss.

21:25 Dusk nickers a bit at Gyro's actions, finishing up her own plate as she watches "Uh huh. Of course"

21:29 Inky mrfs as she suddenly finds herself lip to lip with GyroTech, and she reflexively jerks away. "Hey!" she says, sitting up straight. "Dusk may have forgiven you, but I'm.. I'm not sure I have yet..."

21:33 GyroTech giggles at the kiss even as Inky puslls away. "Oh, come now, if Dusk can find it in her heart to forgive me, surely you can as well. We both wanted to do this for her afterall. You /helped/ me find the spell." All the while, Gyro watches for an opportunity to do the same to Dusk.

21:36 Dusk listens and shakes her head "I've forgiven you, but it's going to take a bit for me to get the image that you...left out of my head." She leans back down and sips up a few more noodles.

21:38 Inky crosses her hooves and stares down at her plate grumpily. "I wanted to do it for her... I feel like you just wanted to do it for yourself."

21:42 GyroTech repeasts teh same thing he did with Inky on Dusk, this time though, he tries to get her to slurp up his tongue as well as he presses against her with a grin.

21:44 Dusk meeps a bit and finds herself nose to nose with the stallion and blinks a few times. She slowly presses her tongue against his as she pushes it back and out and nickers a bit before giving him a little nuzzle. "It's going to be alright. Another time maybe ok?"

21:48 Inky narrows her eyes as she watches Gyro lean in to kiss Dusk, and hmphs. The bat pony resumes eating in silence, clearly still bothered.

21:50 GyroTech enjoys the breif kiss, giggling softly and leans back into the nuzzles. "Alright, thank you Dusk," He says, quite happily. He finishes off his soup and then drops enough bits on the table to pay for everyponies meal. "You're not jealous, are you Inky?" he asks, noting her look.

21:52 Dusk looks at Inky and pouts to her before leaning into the mare, looking up to her "I'm sorry..."

21:56 Inky had just finished her meal when GyroTech asks, and she glares at him. "No!" she says, wiping off her muzzle and slamming the napkin down on the table. "I'm not!" She leans down and nuzzles Dusk briefly. "I can't put up with this anymore. I'm done." The mare squirms out past Dusk and makes to leave the restaurant.

22:05 GyroTech folds his ears back and looks extremely embarrassed about what just happened, frowning sadly. He gets up from the table after taking a second to recover and trots after the mare. "Wait! Inky! Hold up!"

22:07 Dusk meeps as she's climbed across and finds herself stinding up out of the booth, watching the two interact

22:07 < Dusk> standing*

22:09 Inky stops and holds up a hoof at Gyro without turning around. "No. Not right now," she says, resuming her trot out the doors.

22:11 GyroTech comes to a stop and gives a whimper before turning back to Dusk. He frowns and shakes his head. "I'm sorry Dusky...I ruined our evening I guess...maybe you can talk to her and calm her down..."

22:13 Dusk nods to him with a little tear falling down her cheek and walks towards him, looking down as she does "I can try..."

22:14 GyroTech gives Dusk a little nuzzle and lets her go on ahead, waiting a bit to go out the doors. "I'll let you two get a head start...I don't think she wants to see me with you right now.)

22:17 Dusk gives him a little peck on the lips before nodding to him "I'll at least try...I don't exactly know what's wrong at this point...even though I agree with the points she made...I've already told you what I think about that though."

22:28 GyroTech returns the peck with a half grin. "Well I mean...I just don't want her to be mad all day. She needs a pony like her to cheer her up.:

22:29 < Inky> mad all night *

22:29 Dusk nods and flies off after the mare, heading towards the mare's house in the hopes that where she'd decided to go

22:39 Inky is inside her room, moping on her bed. She has a light on, making the balcony doors lit up with a warm yellow glow.

22:45 Dusk perches herself on the balcony as she see

22:46 < Dusk> see's that it's lit and gently knocks on it "Inky...it's Dusk. Can I come in?"

22:47 Inky looks up at the rapping on her balcony doors, and sighs. She rolls out of bed and walks over, unlocking the door for Dusk to come in. "Hello, Dusk," she says, sounding down and without her usual enthusiasm.

22:48 Dusk sighs as she walks in, closing the door behind her "I'm sorry for whatever I did...if it was me...I just wanna try to comfort you a bit since I am in fact alright..."

22:50 Inky shakes her head and snorts. "No, it's not you," she says, walking closer and neckhugging Dusk. "It's Gyro, being blind to others' feelings as usual."

22:53 Dusk nuzzles her softly as she accepts the embrace "I know...it's just he's not going to learn...he's being hard headed about it."

22:54 Inky sighs and leans into the nuzzling. "I know... it's just bothering me, a lot more than before..."

22:55 < Dusk> "Because of what he ended up doing?"

22:56 Inky tilts her head. "Hmm? It's more.. it's more how he treated you first, like you weren't even a pony anymore..."

23:04 Dusk nods a bit and pulls back "Yea...It really seemed like I didn't know him after all..."

23:05 Inky sighs. "Look, I think I just need to wait for a bit. He has good intentions... kind of..."

23:07 < Dusk> "I understand...do you want me to go away?"

23:11 Inky shrugs. "I dunno... you can stay for a bit, but I feel pretty drained after today."

23:12 Dusk smiles a bit and tilts her head "Then I can stay here with you and snuggle...try and you know be here for you"

23:19 Inky nods and smiles. "I'd like that," she says, climbing back into bed.

23:22 Dusk hops into bed with her and rolls next to the mare with a little smile on her muzzle

23:27 Inky wraps her legs around the pegasus and sighs, burying her muzzle in her mane.

23:30 Dusk plants a few little kisses against her neck as she wraps her hooves around her

23:38 Inky murrs softly and relaxes, settling in to just hold the mare close while she rests.

23:41 Dusk sighs happily as she cuddles with the mare she cares for, not saying a word.
