Charcoal followed Mirabelle inside.

whisper to Miri:

[Ketchup]

Quiver takes down some of the information in his PipBuck.
"Thank a lot. And the Stables?"

[CamoBadger]

whisper to charcoal:

"Sure thing." DJ Pon3 took out a map of the area around Manehatten and pointed out two Stables, both of which beeped and marked on Quiver's PipBuck map. "Sorry, I can't tell you the numbers or if they're open right now."

[XT Vengeance]

[Perception 6 (8+1)]Charcoal looked around for places to blend in.

[CamoBadger]

Charcoal sees what looks like a bar, and a table where several raiders are playing cards.

Mira snuck off into the base and out of sight.

[Ketchup]

"I suppose I'll have to go and check, then. Thanks again."
He turns to leave, but quickly turns back.
"I also think you should know, the Slavers at the Arena have been stopped, and a mare we freed from there left with one of my friends to attack Candyland with some sort of bomb they took from the Slavers. A 'Balefire Egg', I think is what she called it."
He shrugs.
"They seemed confident that they could annihilate them with just that, so I suspect that they won't be causing trouble in the future."

[XT Vengeance]

Charcoal sauntered up to the bar. "I'll have a whiskey," Charcoal said. "I want to get fucking drunk."

[CamoBadger]

"Wait, they're doing what with a what?" the DJ quickly asked.


"Nah, I assumed you were drinking to look cool," the pony behind the bar commented sarcastically and poured the drink for Charcoal.

Shadow scrubs the last of the blood and grey matter out of his coat and mane. He takes a seat as the water rushes over his body."...It's done. Cut's dead, Orchard's been avenged."He closes his eyes and sighs"Sorry ah couldn't get it done sooner, sis, wish ah could of. But now, you, mama, Shade, and daddy can rest easy. Ya can finally go and enjoy yer dance with Luna in the Everafter. Maybe ya can even go a say howdy ta Tumble fer me when ya see'im. Tell'im that... That Cherry and ah are gonna do our best ta keep Flower safe and that we'll give'im a proper burial as soon as we can."He pauses and bows his head"Rest in Peace, and may Luna keep y'all company in the afterlife."He turns off the water after a few moments, dries off and steps out of the bathroom."She come out yet, love?"

Cherry shakes her head and looks back at the bag."Not yet, but ah think she's sleepin'."She cuddles close to the bag and nuzzles it.

He sighs"At least she's sleepin'. Maybe we'll see her in the morning."He lays down next to Cherry and the pack.

"Yeah. Maybe."She lays her head down on the pillow and pulls up the blanket.

"Goodnight, darlin'."He gives her a kiss."Goodnight, Flower."He nuzzles the bag and falls asleep.

"Goodnight, love. Goodnight, Flea."She lays her head down and falls asleep.

[Ketchup]

"They are attacking Candyland with a Balefire Egg. They left last night."

[CamoBadger]

"They're setting off a bomb in the city? Great, just great," the unicorn grumbled.

[XT Vengeance]

Charcoal slammed the drink, ordering more to pass the time.

[Ketchup]

"...What exactly do these 'Eggs' do?"
He asked hesitantly.

[CamoBadger]

"They're mini-balefire bombs," he explained. "They kill things, a lot of things in a big circle."

After 20 minutes, Mira trotted up to Charcoal at the bar with a new bag around her side and whispered to him.

whisper:

[Ketchup]

"...So they're like the mini-version of what Stables were built to protect against? Great..."
He says worriedly.
"How much of an effect do you think it will have on the indigenous populations? Aside from blasting the raiders to kingdom come, that is."

[XT Vengeance]

whisper to Mira:

[CamoBadger]

"That depends on where it goes off. Hopefully nowhere too close to a town."

Mira rolled her eyes and trotted out the door as fast as she could.

"What, you don't like it here girl?" the guard at the door asked before doing a doubletake. "Wait a minute, did you come in with that bag?"

"Um..." Mira tried to think of something but scowled instead. "Fuck off Brick."
[STR 9] The mare quickly bucked her rear legs into the stallion's squishy bits and started running as he fell unconscious. "Run Char!"

[Ketchup]

"We can only hope. One more question: What do you know about the Ministries?"

[XT Vengeance]

Charcoal charges after Miri, following her flank. "Righth behinds you," Charcoal slurred.

[CamoBadger]

"About as much as everyone knows, why?" the DJ asked.

Behind the two ponies, bullets started to fly as the raiders started pouring out of the warehouse. "Is that you Mirabelle?!" one of them screamed. "Get back here so I can cut you in half!"
[19+1 (3+1= 4 damage) (Cripple Roll: 1 - Head Crippled -1PER)] A shot from one of the Raiders smacked into the back of Mira's head, ricocheting but still knocking her down.

[XT Vengeance]

[Strength 8 (8+3)]"Miri!" Charcoal grabbed the mare and put her on his back. "I'm going to get you out of here Miri! I promise!" he said to her, as he continued to run away.

[Ketchup]

"I'm just curious, they never told us anything about them in 16. Never mind, it's not important. Thanks anyway."
He leaves the studio and goes to the stores, checking what they had to sell.

[CamoBadger]

As Charcoal ran, a muffled whining started to escape the bag Mirabelle had left with.
She dizzily looked at the bag and pulled it close, whispering into it.

After almost 10 minutes of running, the Raiders gave up and went back to the warehouse, not willing to continue chasing the ponies at night.

[XT Vengeance]

[Perception 6+1 (6+2)]Charcoal looked around for somewhere safe, panting as he came down off of the rush from adrenaline.

[CamoBadger]

Charcoal spots an old hotel across the street from where he is that seems safe.

[XT Vengeance]

Charcoal carried the mare across the street and into the hotel. He found a room the looked safe and helped Mirabelle down from his back. "Are you alright Miri?" he asked.

[CamoBadger]

Mira nodded. "Thank you, Char," she told him warmly and adjusted the bag to let a small, sobbing filly's head to poke out. She touched her nose to the baby's and it quieted. "It's okay sweetie, Mama's here again."

[Ketchup]

Quiver frowns as he looks at the indulgent shops, and approaches a guard.
"Is there a clinic here? Or somewhere I can sell weapons?"

[CamoBadger]

"One of the guards might buy a gun if you have something they'll like, and the clinic is off limits to non-citizens unless it's an emergency."

[XT Vengeance]

"You...you're welcome," Charcoal said as he sat down in the corner, very much confused by the child. He struggled to find any words, but none came.
