Re: Fallout Equestria: The Kingdom

whisper to searchlight:

[Orm]

whisper to Cast Iron:

Searchlight walks away from the others and stands looking at the dim lights coming from the town in the distance.

[Tytan]

Clock keeps walking in the direction of town with everyone else, but she sidles up to Blossom, "So... you're dead? You look good for being deceased."

[Guest]

Shadow looks at Clock then back at Blossom.

"According ta Enclave record keepin' yup ah'm dead! And uh, thanks fer the compliment."She looks over at Shadow and shrugs

He nods, then starts to play with his knife.

[Tytan]

"I think they need new record keepers. Last I checked dead ponies don't walk, talk, and they certainly don't hunt bounties."

[Guest]

"Maybe, but ah ain't really lookin' forward ta goin' back and fixin' the problem."She says matter-of-factly.

[Tytan]

"Yeah, they strike me as bein' the pragmatic type."

[Guest]

"They can be, ah 'spose."She looks at Clock"If ah knew ah was gonna get interviewed, ah wouldn't of left my uniform back home."She chuckles

Shadow shakes his head and quietly chuckles to himself.

[Ketchup]

Quiver sets down and trots up to the group.
"Hi. Not much out here. Just a lot of rocks."

[XT Vengeance]

"Well that's better than there being raiders. Then again, I doubt it would have been easy for you to see anything in the dark," Charcoal says to him.

[Tytan]

"What can I say? I've never talked to a dead pony before, at least not on purpose. And I figured that since yer from above the clouds you'd be sick of us dirt kickers asking you about the sky and the sun. I thought I'd shake things up."

[Ketchup]

"Well, being a Pegasus helps with that."

[Guest]

"Actually most folks don't ask, since they don't usually see my wings."

[Tytan]

"That makes sense too. Easier to avoid all the questions than answer them."

[Guest]

"Yup."

The earth pony stallion grumbles

"Blossom, our guest is wakin' up."

She looks over"Ah, he is. We should probably get him back."

He makes sure the knot is still tied and puts him on his back.

"Well, shall we?"

[XT Vengeance]

"Yeah I guess that would help. Scorch always said it was easier to see the ground at night when he is up above." The earth pony smiles at Quiver.

"Squawk?"

"No, I don't want you to attract attention. You kinda glow in the dark, remember?" he says to his feathered compatriot.

[Ketchup]

A slight grin flashes across Quiver's face, but sours when he sees the brown pony tied up.
"Uhm, why is that pony tied up? And I don't remember you three from the settlement."

[Guest]

Shadow looks at Quiver, rolls his eyes and snorts"Stable ponies."

Cherry giggles at Quiver"He's a paycheck, lets just leave it at that."

[Ketchup]

Quiver looks confused.
"Right..."

[XT Vengeance]

"Look, I'd suggest you leave it for now. I'll explain on the way."

[CamoBadger]

When the group finally reaches the town, the light of day had reached it's peak in the Wasteland, casting a grayed light over everything in sight. The town was much more impressive than the Fiddler's Hoof camp, and was more heavily guarded as well. The gate was wide open for the group to enter during the day, but it wasn't exactly an open invitation; it was the only way in through the twenty foot tall walls surrounding the town, and on either side a trio of armored ponies wielded an array of what looked to be very well maintained weapons.

"Welcome to Old Appleloosa," one of them called from the top of the wall as the group passed through. "Don't do anything stupid."

Just through the gate the group entered a large courtyard of dirt and trash. All around it were countless shops selling anything imaginable; from weapons to earrings. At the center of the courtyard was a large cage with a sign marked 'PRIZIN'. Two starved and stained ponies were lying in the center of it, gasping for breath and staring mindlessly at the sky. Just behind the cage was a billboard marked 'JOBZ AN SHIT'.

Ponies bustled about the town between the shops and their homes, and so far it seemed like a peaceful and relatively crime-free city.

((Welcome to Old Appleloosa! Feel free to interact, look for side-quests, visit the shops, and generally do anything you want. That doesn't mean there won't be consequences for anything you do though, so keep your wits about you.))

[Tytan]

"Quaint. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've been here since I was a filly."

[Guest]

Shadow pulls his hood farther over his head and puts on his sunglasses"Blossom, ah'm gonna go turn in our friend here."

"Okay, Shadow."

Shadow leans in close and whispers

Shadow to Cherry:

"Don't worry, ah will."She smiles

He looks and makes sure no one is looking, then gives Cherry a kiss on the cheek and pulls up his mask. He walks to the sheriffs office.

[Ketchup]

"I was starting to wonder if there were larger settlements."
Quiver says, mostly to himself, as he taps buttons on his PipBuck.

[Tytan]

Clock looks at Quiver, "This? Large? *Giggle*."

[XT Vengeance]

"Heh. Friendship city is far more impressive. Either way, you want to make some caps Quiver?"

[Ketchup]

Quiver turns to Clock.
"Well, Stable 16 is bigger."
Turning to Charcoal:
"From what I gather, caps are what is used as money out here, so I suppose so."

[MrMagma]

Eve quickly scanned the area, and made her way to the cage in the center of the courtyard. She stared at the two ponies inside, feeling an unwanted sense of familiarity as she put her hoof against the bars.

[Guest]

Cherry goes over to Quiver and Charcoal"Mind if ah go with ya? Shadow and ah need some new work, maybe we can help y'all out."

[CamoBadger]

One of the slowly dying ponies inside turned his eyes to Eve, grumbling something incoherent as he tried to slide himself over to her. It took a while, but the pony finally made it to the bars.
"Please..." he wheezed softly to the mare. "Can you...do something for me?" A rough cough punctuated his request.
