Re: Fallout Equestria: The Kingdom

"No way we could have taken that thing on. You saw how it just ate that mare." He takes another swig and sighs.

[Ironmonger]

He floats out another 5 caps for a beer and sets them on the counter. "Sir, a drink for zeh lady." he says to the bartender. "Um...I am not zat great at conversation." he says to Cinnamon, a bit unsure of himself. "So...vat convinced you to open up your store?"

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"It wouldn't make for a sterile environment, and you'll be under an anesthetic, so you won't remember anything, but He can be present." Painkiller replies, already aware that there are consequences waiting for him.

[Guest]

"No kiddin' that was somethin' ah haven't seen before."

Cherry nods"Thank ya, doc. Ah now it won't do much, but it'd make me feel better."She slowly gets up"So, anythin' ah'm gonna have ta worry 'bout with this operation?"

[CamoBadger]

The bartender nodded and passed another beer down the counter to Cinnamon.

"You didn't seem to have any problems in the store," she pointed out with a little grin. "Well, it was Dad's when I was little. But he was always bigger on guns than food and clothes. So I took over when I was 15 so he could open up Guns and Bigger Guns." She took a quick drink of the beer. "Been in charge ever since."

She paused for a second. "Um, what about you? Are you a Steel Ranger or something?"

[Tytan]

"Ooo... good choice." Clock rolls onto her belly. "Now get over here."

[XT Vengeance]

Charcoal climbs onto the bed. He kisses Clock on the neck. "So...what do you have in mind?" he asks tentatively.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"Not really, the only thing you have to worry about is moving, and i can keep that from happening I am sure, and infection. The most sterile environment I can think of is Blood Clot's. She's with the survivors tho. I suppose it could not hurt to see if she has the space available. the other option is to use a room in the inn, and here I know i cannot make guarantees about the environment."

Painkiller puts the options on the table.

"While you consider this, I'll," He hesitates, "Go get your husband."

He turns to scan the crowd and spots Shadow talking to Searchlight. "Excuse me searchlight, but I need to borrow shadow here."

[Ironmonger]

"Your father sounds like a good pony." he takes a sip of his beer. "I am afraid zat I do not know vat a Steel Ranger is." he admits. "I vas a soldier in zeh Germane Heer for seven years and I now hold zeh rank of Captain. I vas exiled a little over a month and a half ago."

[Guest]

Shadow looks at Painkiller"Uh, yeah doc, what's wrong?*He looks worried*Blossom gonna be okay?"

[Tytan]

"For choice number two I'm gonna need you to lie down on your back, and let me do alllll the work."

[CamoBadger]

"An exile huh?" she asked and took another sip of beer. "If ya don't mind me askin'...what got you exiled?"

[XT Vengeance]

Charcoal just nods. He lays down on the bed next to her. He then rolls over onto his back. "Like this?" he asks her.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"The bullet that was wedged in her knee did not get pushed out by the stimpak. It's a common side effect of chem and potion usage; it's too common for home schooled doctors. Potions will only heal the wounded area, nine times out of ten, the foreign material will not be pushed out when the potion is applied. Another common problem is infection, if the wound is not properly sterilized, infection can set in from the foreign matter in her body and make the wound septic and poison her from the inside. She's lucky its been an apparent discomfort, most cases dont show symptoms until its time to amputate. She's deciding where she wants me to operate, and she wants you present."

Painkiller takes a breath, "When I've finished, we have some business to conclude."

[Tytan]

"Perfect." Clock brushes her tail across his nose, "Now just hold still."

[Fade to black]

[Ironmonger]

"I have no right or reason to deny a question." he sighs to relieve a bit of tension that built up upon her asking. "My entire squad vas...lost in combat against Trottomane Janissaries, and as zeh highest-ranking officer of zeh group I vas held responsible and sentenced to execution. I escaped so zey left me alone, but I can never go back." he takes a sip of his beer.

[Guest]

Shadow nods"She didn't need ta ask of course ah'll be right there with'er the entire time."

He looks at Painkiller"Yeah, we do don't we?"

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"Good, while we are performing the procedure, don't ask questions, and if I tell you to do something, you do it. Understand? After that, we'll conclude our business."
Painkiller makes his way back to Cherry. "Cherry Blossom, are you ready?" His voice is somber and straight forward.

[CamoBadger]

"Oh, I'm so sorry," the mare told him softly.

[Guest]

"Understood, doc."

Cherry looks at Painkiller and Shadow"Yeah, ah'm ready. If we can't find room in the clinic. Ah'm fine with just goin' ta the Inn."She smiles at Shadow

[Ironmonger]

He smiles softly. "Please, do not be. It is zeh vay of life, and it is zeh past. It is not like zese zings can be helped." After realizing just how he explained things he lowers his head slightly. "...I am sorry, I should not be talking about such grim zings at a time like zis. It vas insensitive of me, I did not mean to make you feel sad."

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

Painkiller merely nods and heads out of the bar and goes to the klinik. He knocks loudly and speaks just as loud, "Blood Clot! I know its after hours and you're a little congested, but you've got the most suitable facilities in Appaloosa! A mare needs a bullet removed or she might become septic and crippled for life! Please!"

[CamoBadger]

"No, it's okay. I asked, it's my fault," she told him sorrowfully. "I'm sorry if it upset you to remember that."

[Guest]

Cherry hears Painkiller and visably pales, from her already white coat."F-for life?"She says worriedly.

"That ain't gonna happen, love."Way ta go doc.He nuzzle Cherry, trying to relax her.

[CamoBadger]

Blood pushed open the door and hissed. "Keep your voice down, I've got patients trying to sleep." She glared at them for a second. "What do you need?"

[Ironmonger]

"It is alright, really. I am not an easy pony to bozzer, vhy else vould I be called Cast Iron?" he says with a small grin, trying to cheer her up a bit. "Let us talk about somezing different, yes? Ver you born in zis town?"

[Guest]

Cherry is still pale with a worried expression on her face.

Shadow waves"Hey, Clot, uh how are ya?"He says awkwardly still trying to comfort Cherry.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"I only need a clean environment, anesthetic and preferably a paralytic. Mare's got a bullet to the knee. I have med-X and 100 proof alcohol for local anesthesia and sanitation. Can I borrow your facilities? There is a promise I have to keep."

Painkiller makes no room for suggestion or to stand aside, he can see Blood Clot is at her wit's end from four emergency patients. "When she's done, we'll move her to the Inn to recover. She won't take up any more space in your Clinic." He glances over at Cherry, "She's my responsibility."

[Guest]

"Please, doc. We'll be done quick. Ah just what her ta be okay."He says pleadingly.

[CamoBadger]

"Yeah, born and raised," she said slightly proud. "It's been a nice place to stay. Not much crime really with the guards, so I feel safe," she told him with a grin.

"And where do you plan to operate? I don't have any beds left, so she'll have to stay on the floor while you do this, and that's still covered in blood. Not exactly the 'clean area' you're looking for," Clot protested.
