Re: Fallout Equestria: The Kingdom

[Ironmonger]

"Vun zing seems certain, ve should be ready to run if zey show up for some reason. I mean, rocket artillery, ghoul dragon, vats next? A tank? None of us are exactly equipped to be dealing vith a faction like zat."

[Orm]

"I have no idea." He says to Iron, before turning to Painkiller. "What are trying to say?"

[Guest]

Tumble stands from the table removing himself from the conversation.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"It might be too early to say for now, but it sounds like an exclusive club." Painkiller replies, "I mean an organized and regulated militia capable of destroying two settlements in the course of a couple of weeks is not exactly something one can jusst walk up to with a sledge-hammer and say, 'Hold still.'"

[Orm]

"We don't even know where they are so even thinking about that now."

[Ironmonger]

"Sounds like a vait and see situation."

[Guest]

Tumble leaves the tavern and makes his way to 'Absolutely Everything'.

Inside he waits at the entrance watching the pegasus mare.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"Exactly Cast Iron, this why its too early to say anything more than considering a possible course of action. For now, it requires some investigation. Smooth Coats aren't exactly best suited for that kind of work. Not this one, not without some excessive Danger to themselves." Painkiller does find the logic of having non ghouls investigate to be troublesome.

[CamoBadger]

"Hi! Can I help you?" Ditsy asked warmly.

[Ironmonger]

He nods his head to one side in agreement. "I can see zeh logic in zat, ve cannot easily fight vat ve know nozing about. Investigating is going to be dangerous regardless of who goes, but if someone goes in, zeh rest of us could theoretically hang back in case somezing happens and aid is required."

[Guest]

Tumble looks around the shop checking to see if anyone else is there. [Per 5+1]

[CamoBadger]

Nobody else is in the store.

[Orm]

"Cast Iron, sending someone in is a bad idea. Even if we knew where they were, it would be too much of a risk."

[Guest]

He steps up to the counter. Remembering what Search had said he looks around for something to write on.

[Per (7+1)]

[CamoBadger]

He finds a pencil and a bit of scratch paper on the corner of the counter.

"Um, are you okay?" the mare asked and fluttered behind the counter.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"Well, what is risky is knowing nothing about the movements in the organization. Who is in charge? That is a very important piece of intel. Were one to cut off the head it may only create a power vacuum, but they would become more fragmented and less organized because of it."

[Ironmonger]

"I am not saying it is a good idea, I am merely putting some thought into anyzing zat vould be suggested."

[Guest]

He floats twenty caps onto the counter and then floats the paper and pencil toward.

The pencil flicks around on the paper for a few seconds before being pushed towards Ditzy.

'Reapers?' was written on the page.

[Orm]

"I don't know who's in charge of them. If I knew I would have told all of you." Searchlight lied.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"Anypony else have some ideas on what to move forward on here?"

[CamoBadger]

Ditsy looked down at the paper then backed up quickly, shaking her head and panicking. "I'm sorry, I don't have that right now. Maybe if you checked back later."

[Ironmonger]

"I do not zink vee can do anyzing until zey make anozer move. Right now, anyzing vee do is going into zeh situation blind."

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

"Perhaps if the survivors from the town were interviewed. They may have seen some Ghouls scoping their home out before the main army arrived."

[Ironmonger]

"Good idea."

[Guest]

He sighs and frowns at the ghoul. The paper floats up and tears itself apart he puts the pieces in his saddlebags choosing to dispose of it elsewhere. "That's alright I'll get it somewhere else." He turns and leaves the shop.

[Guest]

Tumble hung around the front of the shop a while longer. He had a feeling Searchlight hadn't told them everything... He thought about what he should do. Eventually he sighed and trotted behind 'Absolutely Everything' and waited.

A flash shined behind the building and the unicorn reentered absolutely everything. He quickly trotted up to the counter with an urgent expression on his face. He waved the mare over.

[CamoBadger]

"Oh, hey Searchlight," the mare greeted him with a grin. "How can I help you?"

[Guest]

Search looks around the shop making sure it was safe for the mare to speak. [Per (10+1)]

[CamoBadger]

They are alone in the store.
