open Fallout Equestria: Endeavor

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

As the filly that was approaching them stopped on their track he aimed his magnum back at the pony that seemed to be the leader. "We rather there not be blood just let us be and we'll be gone as soon as the storm let's up." He suggested still holding his gun. (No considerable speech influence to note.)

 

Chip really didn't want to spill blood especially of some of the younger ponies. He hoped they would just listen to reason.

(Group 2)

"You wouldn't be the first to point some fancy guns at me, I've heard the 'We'll be gone by morning one too'! You're just waiting for us to go back to sleep to slit our throats and make slaves of the women and children!" The older pony leader spat at the ground near Chip "Even if you kill me, you're not going to get away alive, we have enough dynamite laced around the cave to make this your sarcophagus."

 

One of the ponies, particularly the one with the pistol glanced at Dyna and then back at the intruders "Yeah you best git raider scum!"

 

The mare pony that was holding the kitchen knife dropped it and started to plead with everypony "Can't we just put our guns down!? For celestia's sake, we have children here!" She paused and then turned to the older pony "Can't we try to negotiate for once, buck?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

"Well at least one pony here has some sense." Chip said as he still held his gun up at the leader. "We're just needing cover and in the morning we will be back on our way to hell hound sanctuary. Besides we're not raiders..."

 

Chip glances around the cave for a second and back at the group.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia lowers the power of her Recharger Rifle. Her tailblade drops to a non threatening position. Dashia says, "I am not raider. We were on our way to my home when this storm hit. You and the children have nothing to fear from us. We have our mission and we don't wish to see any more blood shed. I agree with the mare. She must also understand, I am on the beginning edge of my cycle. I can be a bit moody right now."

 

She looks to Dyna and says, "We lost one of our friends while traveling. If we explain our mission, will you at least listen and let us explain ourselves?"

 

Dashia looks to have calmed down. She also keeps all stallions at a distance. They can tell she is uuncomfortable with the number of males near by. "Also please only mares and fillies come near me. I don't want my scent to trigger an unwanted reaction."

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna wanted to move and speak to the mare, she wanted to know more about what was happening outside, however, she still remembered Chip's warning and therefore stood still where she was, not moving a hoof. She gave Dashia a sad look, since she acknowledged the loss of a friend. She spoke for the first time. "I am sorry for your loss, I understand what it is like to lose someone. Very well". 

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip lowered his gun from the ponies following Dashia lead. She then went off demanding no stallions come near her. Chip walked back up against the wall of the cave and sat down, he was upset as to why Dashia kept distancing herself whenever she was awake. His only clue was something involving a cycle, he still didn't know what it was so he assumed he did something wrong by her.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia looks to Chip, "Chip, please put away you pistol. We don't need a fight. I Am not in the mood for such."

 

She looks to Dyna, "Filly, you can move. If he acts I will shield you."

 

She then looks to the others, "What we will explain is what we know and only the honest truth. Is this ok with you? By the way, my name is Cloudia Dashia." She waits for their replys.

Dyna was the first one to speak up after Dashia's introduction. "M--my-- my name is Dyna. Dyna Mite". She tried getting closer, giving Chip a careful look, making sure she was not being shot. She really disliked guns. She got a little bit closer. "Do you have any news of what is happening outside?" she asked curiously. 

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

"Our mission is what is going on out side. A group has created a Virus that infects others. They have already infected nearly two whole towns or villages from what I have seen. They care not for foal, filly, colt or mare. They will attack anypony. My friends and I are on a mission to find out more about this Virus. We are heading to a place known as Hellhound's Sanctuary. I know about the place because I grew up there. If yall ever need help, I can give you the location of its back door. I trust you enough to know your predicament and am willing to at least ask my father to grant you access to My home, New Cloudsdayle."

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

"Trust us? But we just met. Trust is not a thing that is widely known in the Wasteland, I think. Or at least I have not come much across it... I have not been able to travel a lot, been a lot in cover. Would love to see the world more". She was now standing directly in front of Dashia, looking at her, inspecting her like a child inspects a new toy, smiling. 

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia ruffles her mane. She says, "Trust my experience, the world at large is not a very friendly place but you will find those who will show trust as a means of being kind. I will never leave my friends hanging. It becomes hard sometimes and we have to face impossible choices that may make us loose a friend. For you Dyna, I would like to show you what my parents taught me. Would that be ok?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip felt rather insulted by the lack of trust, he decided to further distance himself from every pony. He walked back toward the entrance of the cave putting near fifty feet between him and Dashia. "I was the one speaking against blood in the first place..." He muttered to himself.

 

He sat himself in the dirt keeping his back turned toward every pony and pulled his rifle off his back. He begun disassembling it in his magic in the air to distract himself and calm his nerves. "One minute she wants to cuddle and never leave my side... next it's stay the hell away from me..." He mumbled to himself.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna looked at Dashia with surprise. "You would... show me?" she asked with disbelief. She held her breath and then began jumping around Dashia giggling. "Yay, she is going to show me..." she stops. "Wait, show me what exactly?" she looks questioningly, yet smiling at Dashia. 

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

"How to keep an open mind. I learned from my patents that keeping an open mind while learning to survive an a harsh would allows for one to he able to make friends. But never back away from anypony who threatens your friends and you can watch over them."

 

Dashia looks Chip's Direction, "One moment I have to deal with this sadness of his."

 

Dashia comes over to him. She doesn't get too close but enough to tell him her intent. "Chip, what's wrong? The only reason I don't want to be too close to you is because my scent will make males do funny things around me. Has your mom ever told you what happens when a mare goes into cycle?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip heard Dashia's voice behind him and he continued levitated his disassembled rifle in the air. Once Dashia mentioned his mother his head dropped a bit and his ears folding back ever so slightly. The parts of his gun froze in midair and he glanced back her. "My mother... my mother was murdered by Ricto when I was still too young to remember her..." He said a tear rolling down his cheek.

 

Chip return ed his gaze forward and Pulled apart the progress he had on his gun so he could start over. "So no... she never shared with me what ever it is this 'cycle' is..." He stated with a catch in his throat.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia says to him, "Cycle is a time of mating. It is a time when a mare is most fertile and able to have a foal. In short, my body is telling me that it is ready to conceive a child with a stallion. However I am personally not ready to be a mother just yet. This is why when I am awake, I keep my distance. You are a gentlecolt. You wouldn't let your instincts get the better of you while I am asleep, but I still require the scent of a male to get through my cycle."

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

"Well it would of been nice to know that sooner rather then suddenly my marefriend staying a stone's throw from me..." He said still upset after the mention of his mother. "That's fine, just have your distance I'll keep over here doing my thing."

 

Chip continued to reassemble and disassemble his rifle in the air with his magic.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia looks sad for him. She says, "You know what, you need this more then I need to keep away."

 

 

Dashia goes right up to him and places her hooves around him in a hug. She then says, "This is one of those impossible choices I spoke of earlier. A true true Friend helps a friend in need. Sorry about mentioning your mother. I didn't know or remember you talking about it."

 

She continues to hug him. She doesn't want to let go even though her mind says he will act out if she stays near him. She then says, "How about this? No more secrets and kepting information from eachother. We share everything with eachother."

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna looked at the two. She jumped up and down when Dashia hugged Chip. She loved to see ponies hug, she remembered that her mother would her and her sister. She remembered her mother and father hugging. She had a wide smile. "They must really like each other" she said to herself. 

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Suddenly Chip felt hooves wrap around his torso, his weapon parts freezing in the air from the surprise. He leaned into the hug unable to stay mad at Dashia. Being this close to her he did feel a weird sensation come over him which he easily pushed aside.

 

"It's fine you didn't know and sorry I got so upset." He said turning his head to look back at her. "That sounds good to me."

 

Chip leaned in and kissed her on the ckeek for a second and his cheeks turned red as a smile appeared on his face. "I think your pupil is waiting for ya, I'll be fine." He assured as his weapon components begun moving in the air again.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia smiles and says, "It's good to know we can always work things out. Also, you look totally cute when you blush." She returns the kiss on the back of his head. "I think we both have taught her something just now."

 

She turns to Dyna and says, "What did you learn from this little event, Dyna?"

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

"He likes you..." she shook her head as she remembered where she was. "Uhm yes. Friends discuss each others problems and work them out. Forgiveness is also a part of friendship" she said smiling. She hoped that she was right with what she had stated to Dashia. "Am I right? Am I right am I right am I right?" she asked jumping around her. 

[Steel Accord 6,660]

 

 

"It is good to hear that you and your hunters wish not to spill blood of my kin, however, we wish to not be involved with those you seek out, enough damage has been done to us." The spirit spoke with a tinge of fear in its voice, the virus had killed off much of the natural plant life and transformed it into something lifeless, not lifeless in the literal sense but in the spiritual sense.

 

(Group 1)

 

"Your assistance would mean other beasts and flora will not be felled, but I understand your need to preserve yourself as well. If that's the case then safe passage is all I would entreaty that beasts will not harass us from here to the ruined city." Ezekiel said.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

(Group 2)

"He likes you..." she shook her head as she remembered where she was. "Uhm yes. Friends discuss each others problems and work them out. Forgiveness is also a part of friendship" she said smiling. She hoped that she was right with what she had stated to Dashia. "Am I right? Am I right am I right am I right?" she asked jumping around her.

"You are mostly right. You also missed the most important part. A true true friend helps a friend in need. He needed my hug more then I needed to keep my scent away from him. For those who are loyal to their friends, it is literally an impossible choice. I had to chose between affecting him with my Estrus Cycle infused scent and help him feel better or just walk away and let him wallow in his sadness. I can't walk away from a friend without helping them to the best of my ability first."

 

She lets him go and steps back. She knows her scent isn't too strong right now sense her cycle just started the other day.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna had no idea what she was talking about with the cycle since her mother had never gotten the chance to explain to her. "Oh yes, of course. Help them, that is very important. MAKE THEM SMILE" she jumped up giggling. She then looked at her questioningly. "What are you talking about with that cycle and scent?".
