   Seems that Nightfall’s interpony skills need a bit of work. What she really meant to say was that she didn’t want anything to slow her down too much. Her brother looked concerned that they would be passing up a chance for his sister to have some extra protection.
   “Oh, excuse me, ma’am, I would be interested in the armour set you have.” Nebel spoke up as the mare got up to leave. He places the correct number of bits on the counter and pushes them towards her.

   It didn’t take long for the scrapyard to come into view. They decided to enter, and as they walked in, they saw an older mare waving to them along with what appeared to be a couple of her pet dogs.
   Nebel looked to the amour and then back to old mare Gibson.
   “Yes, that is exactly why we’re here.” He set the armour down on her porch. “I’m wanting to sell this armour. We also have some drugs and ammo, not sure if you would be interested in those. I’d also be interested in seeing what you’ve got for sale.”

   After three pin breaks, Nebel was feeling worried that he wouldn’t be able to get this lock open after all. He took a moment to put his tools down and take some deep breaths before he grabbed his last pin and went to work on the lock. Thankfully, he got it open, and found an assortment of ammunition inside. Most of it would not be useful to them, but he did find some flasks for his spell launcher, which he placed into his saddlebag. He wasn’t sure if the remainder would have any worth, so he grabbed a small amount of each remaining ammo type and placed those in Nightfall’s saddlebag. Perhaps they might encounter another place to trade things later.
   The two unicorns would pass a dried lakebed and a service station, both of which were infested with various baddies that Nebel and Nightfall took great care to sneak past. They also noticed a large glowing tower off in the distance, which caught their attention for a few moments. While it was intriguing, Nebel decided it was in their best interest to stick to the road like they had been told earlier by the NCR soldiers. Much to Nightfall’s annoyance.

   Nebel took note of the signs for Stable 11 and was slightly curious as to what life would be like in another stable. But now wasn’t the time for random exploration, perhaps he could venture out to it another time. Nightfall certainly would not turn down that opportunity.
   Further down the road, the two come across an abandoned military convoy. Somehow, some of the containers appeared to be unopened. Having brought a few lockpicks with him, Nebel couldn’t resist the urge to see if he could get into any of them. He approaches one of the containers, takes his lockpicks and screwdriver out from his saddlebag, and starts to work on the lock. Nightfall quietly keeps an eye out for any potential trouble so her brother can focus.

   Nebel nodded and thanked them again before they parted ways.
   The two unicorns passed an NLR base. Aside from noting its existence, they didn’t really know much about it or the NLR itself. Later, they passed some ruins of houses that has been destroyed long ago. Nebel contemplated checking them out for anything of value, but due to the time-sensitive nature of their task, he felt it was best to keep moving. This would also give them a better chance of not being attacked by any creature who happened to be hiding in the old buildings.
   Of course, Nightfall would make a comment about how Nebel was a wuss, and how she could take on anything that might be hiding out in the ruins. Nebel paid little attention to her boasting.  He had a job to do, and nothing was going to get in the way of that.
   Later, they came across a trading camp. Unfortunately, neither of them had any money, nor anything of any notable value. The few supplies they had, they couldn’t afford to trade, as they needed them. Thanks to Nightfall, they had water and food, so they would be ok for a while.
   “You’re not walking by this place too, are you?” Nightfall asked with an unimpressed look.
   Nebel sighed. “We don’t have anything to trade. Unless you have more secrets hiding in your saddlebag…”
   Nightfall facehooved. “No, you’re completely missing the point. Did you not see what happened the last time we talked to anypony? We got intel.” She wandered over to one of the stalls.
   “Nightfall…” Nebel stopped himself, knowing there wasn’t anything he could do to change her mind, and followed her along.
   “Hey there!” The unicorn filly looked up at the pony looking after the stand. “We’re looking for somepony who may have possibly passed through the area a few days ago. Are you willing to share if I give you some more details?” She asked.

   As much as Nightfall liked to talk herself up, she wasn’t particularly effective in combat. Nebel wasn’t much help, either. At best, the pair put in a couple shots here and there. But the important thing was that they helped create a distraction, which bought the NLR soldiers some time to work the enemies down until they retreated.
   “Well, we’re as ok as we can be, I guess.” Nebel replied to the leader.
   He wasn’t sure how much information he should disclose about their mission, but on the other hoof, some transparency may yield them some additional support. He looked to Nightfall for a moment, who just shrugged in response.
   “We’re on a mission. We’re from Las Pegas. I’ve been instructed to locate and identify an individual. They had a package that was important to the pony who gave me the task, so they would like it if I could bring it back to them as well. They were last seen heading in the direction of Primm and Sweetwater, so that’s where we’re headed.” He explained.

   The midday sun beat down on Nebel as he walked along the strip. He had the unfortunate luck of having a dark grey coat, which only amplified the effects of the desert heat. What was a vault dweller doing out in the middle of New Pegas? Currently, Nebel didn’t really know. All he knew was that Mr. House had a job that needed to be done, and the lot had fallen on him to do it.
   Once he arrived in Mr. Houses’ office, Nebel stood quietly as he absorbed the information he was being given while reading the piece of paper.
   “This sounds rather… dangerous.” He responded after Mr. House finished speaking. “If somepony was ambushed, then this package is indeed very important. No doubt this pony is armed and expecting a fight, if I am to go up against them, I will need some sort of weapon of my own. Will one be provided for me?” He asks.
   All the while, the fearful words and expressions of his younger sisters replayed over and over in his mind once they learned the news. Nightfall Horizon, the older of the two, was adamant about coming along, but there was no way he could allow that. If anything happened to her, he could never forgive himself.

   “Huh?” Nebel looks up, his thoughts interrupted by Skylight’s question. “Oh, um, well, not really.” He replied quietly. “I don’t really know what it is that I’m supposed to be able to do. My magic is kind of a disaster, so I don’t use it if I can help it." He admits with a bit of sadness in his voice. "That’s why I learned martial arts instead, as you might’ve noticed back there.”

   With all the changelings dealt with, it was time to move on from here and unite with the rest of the group. Nebel followed along quietly, taking the opportunity to analyze the recent events he had just witnessed. Skylight had proved herself to be a capable fighter, even if her methods were a tad unorthodox, she got the job done. More importantly, her, along with the others, all came to the aid of their friends when it was needed, and that was what mattered most to him. Dynamo had proven to be a valuable ally, showcasing his magical prowess in the fight. Caramel had shown them that she had some offensive spells in her repertoire, something that he hadn’t expected but he was glad to have learned. They also gained Ix, the newest member of the group. Only time would tell what other special things they were capable of. All these thoughts would permeate through his mind as he followed along to wherever they were headed next.

    The vines do in fact immobilize the changeling, pinning it to the ground as it fruitlessly tried to struggle against them. Nebel was about to turn away when he noticed a small flower that had formed on one of the vines. It glowed a pale yellow colour that bears a similar resemblance to his mane. Inside the flower, there was a gem, the source of the glow he saw from the outside. Noticing that several other ponies in the group had received gems much alike their own colour palettes, Nebel grabbed the gem, careful not to use his magic, wanting to avoid any undesirable effects much like ones he had experienced in the past.
    The unicorn would reconvene with his newly formed group of friends as the action died down from the changeling attack. “Hey everypony, look what I found! I have one of these, too.” He announced to his friends as he held the gem in his hoof. “There must be a use for all these gems later. I wonder what that’ll be.” He thought aloud.

   War, we thought we knew what it meant.
   When the spawn of Tartarus ravaged Equis, and the world was covered in antimagical and thaumatological fallout, those who survived did so underground in Equestrian Stables or Trojan Vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across the ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish villages, form herds. As decades passed, what had been the southern Mild West and San Palomino Desert united beneath the flag of the New Lunar Republic, dedicated to the principles of the old Trojan Empire, being democracy and common rule. As the republic grew, so too did it's needs. Scouts spread north, seeking territory and resources among the ruins and wastes of the San Palomino Desert and Southern Equestria. They returned with tales of a city untouched by the forces who had ravaged the world, and a great access point to an untapped ley-line. The NLR mobilized its forces, sending them to occupy and develop this access point.
   But to the east, another nation had risen, under a different flag, a vast army of slaves, forged from the conquest of 86 herds, Discord's Legion.
   Four years have passed since the NLR held the access point, barely, against the Legion's onslaught, driving them back to their stronghold in the Midnight Castle. To the west they wait, gaining strength with each passing week.
   From the north now comes another force. Scouts, claiming to be from the Solar Empire, have been seen by the NLR, and captured by the Legion. The Empire claims that it is the rightful heir to Equestria, and by extension the access point and the city.
   Throughout it all, New Pegas has remained open for business, under the control of its mysterious overseer, Grey Mane, the casino heads, and his army of recivilized herds and minotaur golems.
    
   @GeneralDirection
   Nebel and his sister Nightfall grew up in Stable 21. Compared to the tales of the experiments performed in other Stables, the residents considered themselves lucky that they had only been subject to a system where everyone was considered equal, and all disputes were decided by gambling. Stable 21 was situated near the center of the New Pegas Strip, it had been five years since the Casino Heads, who collaboratively run the strip and the city above, offered a proposition to the stable residents: Leave the stable to work and live in the city above. The stable residents had been divided on this issue, and so it was decided by gambling, and luck favored those in favor of the heads' proposition.
   Most of the lower residential levels of the Stable were filled in to discourage those not in favor from remaining, many of them moving to other settlements outside the strip. Some residential areas remained intact to serve as a motel, as well as to allow the families with younger foals to retain stability until they were ready to move out.
   Today, the casino heads sent down a new proposition, they had a job they needed completing, and given the size of the reward those still in the stable decided to let the wheel decide who would accept it, the lot landing on Nebel, who was now approaching the Top Suits, one of the four major casinos, to receive more information on the job.
   Nebel had never spent much time outside the Stable before, and the strip was crowded with more ponies and creatures than he had ever seen in one place before. The sun was high and the heat was bearable, if only barely, it was a far cry from his air conditioned room in the stable.
   Entering the Top Suits he was immediately led to Mr. House, the owner of the Top Suits and one of the casino heads, 's office. Mr. House was an old albino thestral who wore sunglasses even in the dimly lit and sparcely decorated room. "So, you're the one they sent? I would have preferred someone a bit more experienced, but I'm not going to argue with your Stable's customs." He passed over a paper, "This is for your eyes only. One of our couriers was ambushed, they were carrying something very important and we think it was an inside job. We need you to try and figure out who did it, and if at all possible recover the package. If you figure out who did it you'll get your promised reward, plus a bonus if you manage to bring them in dead or alive. There is a further bonus if you can recover the package."
   The paper itself listed what Mr. House had said, plus some details about the courier, a female earth pony called Red, and that the courier was likely ambushed between Prime and Sweetwater to the north east of New Pegas.
   That being said, Mr. House nodded, "Any questions?"
    
   @Props Valroa
   When the first reports of war came in, and scrying spells indicated that total destruction was inevitable, Empress Cadenza, little more than a puppet ruler under Equestria at that point, went against her Equestrian orders and moved to save her citizens, freezing the whole city under a thick layer of enchanted ice to preserve everyone until the war ended. However, the antimagical weapons, while they failed to destroy the city, caused the enchantment to weaken and fail, turning the enchanted ice to normal ice in patches and killing those frozen within.
   Hundreds of years later, a research expedition from the floating city called the Æther started to thaw out sections of the city in the hopes of recovering artifacts and technology lost to time. They found Carnelian adequately preserved by a small amount of the remaining enchantment, and were able to revive her. They were not in the business of taking on refugees though, so once it became clear that she had nothing to offer them in terms of information they took her with them as far as New Pegas, and gave her an objective as well as a small amount of supplies.
   Standing at the gate of the former airport that they had established a base in under the cover of the floating cloud city, one of the Æther scientists told her, "I'm sorry we don't have the resources to keep you, but I tell you what, the records we've found indicate that a disk of pure minostralium, engraved with some especially advanced runes, was supposed to be delivered to Las Pegasus from Canterlot but never arrived. If you were to recover it and bring it back, I'm sure they'd be willing to let you stay."
   The surrounding area was barren, the remains of a nearby town lay to the south, and she knew that the rail line connecting Las Pegasus to Canterlot was to the East.
    
   @14Fan
   The Stable that Empire Jack grew up in had been taken over by the Solar Empire before he was born, so he never learned about nor experienced the experiment the stable was intended for. Growing up under the Solar Empire he was taught that his lineage, being descended from the element of honesty Applejack, made him special, superior to those who did not share his lineage. As such he was trained to be a scout and chosen to be part of their expedition to the southern reaches of Equestria with the goal of restoring order to the wasteland.
   The Solar Empire had set up a forward base where the Canterlot-Las Pegasus rail line passed through the mountains into the valley, a defensible position on the pass, and it was from there that Empire and his trainer were sent out to scout the area, seeking in particular a courier they had been tailing, suspecting that the package they carried held something valuable to the SE.
   Their expedition would quickly go awry, as Empire's trainer would go missing while Empire was doing some areal reconnaissance. He would land to find signs of a struggle, and the dead body of an earth pony dressed in the garb of Discord's legion.
   To be honest, Empire had never really liked his trainer, they had only recently met and he didn't even know his name. Ambushes were common out here so it wasn't like command would think twice about him returning and saying his trainer had been ambushed and he was lucky to get away.
   He could head back to the outpost and report it, or just radio it in, or he could try and find where the legion had taken his trainer. There was a trail of blood that led towards the city in the distance.

   Kuya woke up in a cell, stone walls and iron bars surrounding him, with no indication as to how he had gotten there. Once he started to stir a pair of guards arrived, holding him still with magic to bring him out of his cell, winding through the castle dungeons until he was brought to some sort of throne room where a light grey unicorn stallion with what looked like a gold plated horn sat, "Ah, there he is. It took quite a lot of effort to bring you here you know? What remains to see is if it was worth it. Release him."
   Kuya was dropped from the magic, the unicorn continued, "I am Sawbones, chosen by Discord to purge this land of the weak, and should you chose to help me accomplish this goal, you will be rewarded with power beyond your comprehension."
   He leaned forward in his seat, "Do we have a deal?"
   The throne room had no shortage of guards, all of them wielding sharp weapons of various kinds, and all of them in peak physical condition.
    
   @Jesse Terrence
   Red woke up with a splitting headache, she couldn't remember much about the previous night, but as she focused she remembered glimpses. A unicorn stallion in a checkered suit, a gryphon and a diamond dog, the unicorn was blabbing something about luck. He took the package she was supposed to deliver, then BANG.
   As she started to rise from the bed a voice called out, "Woah, easy there, you've been out cold a couple-a days now. Was starting to think you wouldn't make it." As her vision focused she saw the elderly earth pony stallion approach, "I had to go rooten around in your noggin there to get all the bits of bullet out. I think I got them all, but can you say something? How about a name?"
   He pulled over a mirror for Red to examine herself, if she looked at her forehead there was a scar, right where her horn would be if she were a unicorn, but it was faint, a testament to the doctor's skill.

   Keep exploring in search of their match
   
   Help out with the party decorations for the gathering
   
   Go into the garden maze in search for flowers
   
   Do something else.
   
   It's entirely up to your OC and your match. Please refer back to the letter you've received for some hints. Also, if you are seeing this but have not received the final card with your match, please know that it is arriving soon. Many members applied so sending them out takes time.
