Re: Fallout Equestria: The Kingdom

[Tytan]

"Charcoal, I have nothing against ponies with cybernetics. I was just looking for the easiest way to insult him. And when I did I was being insensitive to both of you. I'm not going to apologize to him because I think he's a massive prick. So please, I mean it. I'm sorry."

She turns back to Cast, "Not as rare as you think Beefsteak. I'm a doctor too. And he insulted not only me, but my father who taught me everything I know."

[Ironmonger]

Cast Iron stares off in space for a moment before realization hits him. "...Oh...So zhat's vhat zhat vas, alright I understand now. I zhought Clock vas antagonist at first." "Insults vork differently vhere I come from, ve have no tone-based implications such as Painkiller's remark. My bad, as you say."

[XT Vengeance]

"Its okay Clock, don't worry about it, really," he says sincerely. "I overreacted."

[Tytan]

"No you didn't. I spoke without thinking."

[Ironmonger]

Cast Iron waves a hoof as he walks, the stabilizers in his legs preventing him from overbalancing while in motion. "For zeh record, do not vorry about it. I'm hard to insult." His eyes look away as he thinks. "I believe zhat I can understand vhere you are coming from. My father taught me to be a sharpshooter, so if someone made a remark about my aim or tactics zhey vould be insulting my father and my father's fathers as vell. Not zhat I vould actually be offended."

[Tytan]

"I am similar Mr. Remarkably-large-unicorn. The doctoring profession has been passed down in my family since long before the bombs. That's why I took his insult rather personally."

[XT Vengeance]

"Like I said, don't worry about it Clock," he says to the mare," please."

Charcoal's ears perk up at hearing that Cast Iron was a sharpshooter as well. "So you are a rifleman then? Because you don't appear to have a rifle that would be all that good at more than medium range. You don't even have a scope."

[Tytan]

"Charcoal, believe it or not, I care what you think."

[Ironmonger]

Cast Iron growls at the memory of having to trade his finely-crafted rifle. "Before my exile I used a beautifully forged 7.92x57mm rifle of zeh Drachen pattern. After my exile, it became vorthless. Few if any spare parts could be found outside of my homeland, and zeh ammunition isn't as common as zeh Equestrian 7.62x51mm round. So for now I am stuck vith a glorified insult-flinger." He sighs. "Such an action is, even if practical, an insult to zeh ironmonger who forge my veapon."

[XT Vengeance]

"Wow. I've never seen one of those in person, but I read about it in an old magazine I had. I've been getting by on this old varmint rifle for a while. Armor penetration doesn't really matter when you can shoot their weak points."

Charcoal turns back to the mare. "Look, we hardly know each other. Why do you care?" he says to her quietly.

[Tytan]

"I care because you're a member of my caravan now. And as far as I'm concerned that's the next best thing to family. And I care what my family thinks."

[XT Vengeance]

"Alright. I'm just not used to other ponies giving a damn. Really, don't worry about it, I'm used to it."

"Anyways," he says turning to Searchlight and Cast Iron, "I think we should all stick together anyways. I mean, we were just attacked."

[Tytan]

"Just because you're used to it doesn't mean you're okay with it."

[Ironmonger]

"Jawohl." Cast Iron says. "Two sharpshooters vorking together is much more effective zan vone. Vhat vone misses, zeh other gets." "He cocks his head to the side. "Speaking of vhich, shouldn't ve be discussing battle tactics in case ve are attacked again?"

[XT Vengeance]

"Indeed. Scorch and I always work together. I'd say that we all keep together. It would be a good idea to keep moving as well."

Charcoal looks at Clock,"You're right. I'm not okay with it Clock, but like I said, don't worry about it. I'd prefer if you just drop it."

[Tytan]

Clock looks a little hurt, and her ears go back. She doesn't want to dig her hole any deeper, "Okay."

[Orm]

The ghoul turned his attention to Charcoal.
"Good idea. Strength in numbers sounds like a good idea at this point."

[Ironmonger]

Cast turns to the ghoul. "Vhat skills do you have, ghoul?"

[Orm]

Searchlight looks at the large unicorn.
"I know how to fire a gun properly, I can use a knife pretty effectively, and I know how to hack a terminal if I need to."

[Aonee]

Dr. turns to Searchlight. "Oh, I can hack terminals as well. Its easy, I bet most of the ones in Equestria don't even have adequate firewalls."

[Ironmonger]

Cast Iron nods. "Sounds like a generalist. Good. Our rag-tag group should be rather vell-rounded according to vhat I currently know of zeh group, but zeh others are known unknowns as far as I am concerned. I have yet to speak with zhem." He looks to Crusher. "As for you, it sounds like ve have a technician. Zhings should go vell, at least in zheory."

[Orm]

Searchlight is surprised by the appearance of the hologram from the protectapony."They really don't. The only annoying part is how long it takes to reboot a terminal after shutting it off."

[Aonee]

"Oh, you don't have to reboot them that often. I know ways around it, but I normally have to actually plug in for that... I don't know how safe that would be out here though. "

[Guest]

Tumble continues trotting towards what the doctor had said was town. He kept a good pace a decent distance growing between him.

[survival] If those attackers reared their head again he was a good spot, but if anything else emerged from the darkness.

He slowed his pace and waited for the group to catch up.

[Ironmonger]

A huge grin appears on Cast Iron's face. "Not zhat I am zhinking of anyzhing, but I vonder vhat vould happen if I suddenly ran to the gate. I, vith as abnormally large and dressed as I am." He chuckles to himself loudly."Choo choo, mozzerfucker."

[XT Vengeance]

"I am pretty sure it would end with you getting shot, Iron. Despite how funny it would appear to you, it would be terrifying to them."

[Ironmonger]

"Zhats exactly vhat makes it funny." He puts a hoof to his mouth to stifle his laughter, his cybernetics whirring and hissing loudly. His face is more serious. "Fortunately, I am a smart pony. Just because I entertain such zhought does not mean zhat I vill act on them. No matter how amusing I find them." For a brief second a grin flashes on his face.

[Orm]

"You have one weird sense of humour big-guy."
He said as he shakes his head at what Cast said.

[Ironmonger]

"Vhen you are born into military life and face it every day, vone finds entertainment in unlikely places. It is inevitable. In my case, I just find it vherever I damn well can."

[XT Vengeance]

"I guess that is a pretty good mindset to have out here in the wastes."
