open Fallout Equestria: Endeavor

Dashia looks to the mare of the other group. "She has never been talked to about what she is about to go through? I think you all would be better equipped to explain that than me. I am also in a bit of a state so most of my focus is on keeping my instincts in check."

 

Dashia looks to Dyna and says, "I am really sorry Dyna. I am currently unable to go into that explination with you."

"Explain to me? I am sure I will learn it by reading a book or something" she said smiling. "I have not really been around these ponies for a long time, only for a few months really. Been wandering some of the Wasteland, but it's not fun being in this cave for such a long time of the day, all the time" she said with a big smile. 

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip finished reassembling his rifle in the air in front of him. Once it was all one piece he set it back on his back now that his mind was calmed. He turned his head looking back at Dyna and gestured his hoof for her to come to him. He figured he would tell her a simplified version and he would deal with the awkward situation for Dashia.

[Defender of Tomorrow 323]

"Thats enough now Dyna, dinner's almost ready and you shan't' talk to strangers, especially uninvited strangers." The mare had come forward and pulled Dyna back to the group, scolding her some more, in particular the dangers of associating with 'bad ponies'.

 

"Listen here you two, I don't like that you're in my home to begin with, you keep to your side and yourselves and we'll do the same." The old pony grumbled and lowered his shotgun and turned around, he didn't want to speak another word to Chip or Dashia. The rest of the ponies followed behind him and disappeared around the corner of the cave, the light coming from their campfire casting shadows of their forms on the wall. 

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip looked back at the mare that was scolding Dyna for talking to Dashia. They then retreated behind the corner where the light of a fire could be seen. "Isn't she just a lovely ray of sunshine." He mumbled as he stayed sitting in the center of the cave still keeping a watch for any enemies that would come in if they did. "I guess we still have a few hours left before the middle of the night Dashia if you want to go back to sleep. You can take the second watch later."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia shakes her head. "They won't even give us a chance. Not a good way to make sure we aren't raiders. Heck if it wasn't for you chip, I wouldn't have stayed in that raider town for very long. I also probably would have had to kill a few of them before I had to leave."

 

Dashia is sad that those ponies weren't very open-minded. She feels really sorry for them. "You know what, They probably need a sign that will show them we aren't bad ponies. They make Everypony but themselves out to be bad and not give a chance to see if we are. If we were raiders we would have already attacked them and not need a reason to do so."

 

She thinks for a moment and then says, "I am going to ask papa to send them some supplies. I will also make sure that they know who sent them. Do they really think all outsiders are bad just becase they don't know them?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip scoffed a little at Dashia's comment. "So instead I got to kill them right?" He said thinking back on how he killed Ricto. "But it would be nice to get their trust, problem is if they end up trusting random ponies then they could endanger themselves."

 

Chip Didn't like hearing that Dashia was upset, he wanted to do something but he wasn't sure what to do. All he had was was his trade skills and he then realized some of those weapons had seen better days.

 

Chip looked at Dashia. "If this is really important to you, I could offer to clean and grease their weapons. Unfortunately without a workbench I can't improve the condition of their weapons, but when I got a glance of that shotgun against my head it was in poor shape probably up to the point to where it might start jamming on the pony holding it." He offered as he stood up. 

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

"Well I did offer them a chance to let us explain ourselves but they aren't giving us that chance. It seems they just want to be left alone. Also the way she treated Dyna, it seems she doesn't know her. From the way she was with us she has seen some of the world that they haven't. If Dyna comes back, I will ask if she wishes to come with us. She may be a filly but she is far more mature then the older ponies give her credit for. She also wouldn't have talked to us, if we were bad ponies." Dashia is still down but looks a little better. She is now more worried about the new friend she made.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip noticed Dashia was still upset and he walked up to her ignoring the cycle she was on. Once he was near her he embraced her kissing her on the forehead. "We still have the morning to think of something... actually the morning we can go hunting and bring them some breakfast." He suggested still holding her as he stroked her mane. "Otherwise we will think of something to get them to open up to us. Either way we'll help Dyna, she seems to innocent and curious to be shut in a cave with the rest of these ponies."

 

Chip kissed Dashia on the forehead once more and released her. He then walked back to his spot sitting down to give Dashia her distance.

[Defender of Tomorrow 323]

"Until we can locate a suitable and safe place to repopulate and protect our creatures I will not be able to lend assistance to your endeavor. We will try our best to provide safe passage, our creatures are not yet under our total influence ever since they...changed."  As the spirit finished speaking its presence could no longer be felt and the rad-hogs were released from their stasis, their expressions loosened and they all turned around in unison and parted from the encampment.

 

"Smooth talking their Ezekiel, not only did you not get us killed you got most of the wildlife off our backs!" Aile commended Ezekiel with a small nod of approval and holstered her shotgun. Her ears twitched at the sound of rapid footsteps at the edge of camp  and turned herself to see the same pony-silhouette dancing around the camp before firing a shot in their direction and galloping towards the dead city. 

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna was sitting by the fire, eating some old meat. She did not really like meat, but it was the only thing to come by, since the ponies she was with did not grow anything. She looked at the mare of the group. "They seemed like nice ponies. Perhaps they are good. The mare offered to teach me, teach me the way of friendship" she said, her eyes glimmering with joy in the firelight. "Perhaps she can teach me more" she said, more to herself than the others, rather dreaming. "Yes, it would be wonderful". 

[Unicorncob 5,690]

"Yeah, not bad," Crackshot nodded his approval, keeping his shotgun lowered as the creatures departed from the camp, "too bad they didn't start any shit, was really looking forward to some roast."

 

He perked up as he heard hoofsteps across the camp, and turned to see the silhouette from before take a shot at them before galloping toward Manehattan.

He snarled as he raised Persuasion once more.

 

"That little fuck," he growled, "If he comes back during my watch, I'm blowing his goddess-damn brains out."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chip noticed Dashia was still upset and he walked up to her ignoring the cycle she was on. Once he was near her he embraced her kissing her on the forehead. "We still have the morning to think of something... actually the morning we can go hunting and bring them some breakfast." He suggested still holding her as he stroked her mane. "Otherwise we will think of something to get them to open up to us. Either way we'll help Dyna, she seems to innocent and curious to be shut in a cave with the rest of these ponies."

 

Chip kissed Dashia on the forehead once more and released her. He then walked back to his spot sitting down to give Dashia her distance.

Dashia decides her friendship was more important then the cycle she was dealing with. Plus she likes to sleep close to her friends so they can rouse her quickly.

 

She goes over to Chip. She kisses his cheak and lays down next to him. She makes sure her tail blade doesn't hurt him. She then goes to sleep and sleeps for a while.

 

(Now awaiting DM post bedore continueing.)

(Group 2)

"Seemingly like good ponies and being good ponies are two different things Dyna. Good ponies wouldn't trespass into our home, we have a sign up and they shouldn't have ignored it." The mare spoke softly to Dyna and sighed as she noticed that she was daydreaming. "It's time for bed now, lights out everypony!"

 

The pony with the holstered pistol magically put the fire out "I'll take first watch, you guys get some rest." He got up from the encampment and trotted over to the edge of 'their end' of the cave and sat against some stalactites, watching Chip and Dashia. He was much more thankful that there was more glowing mushrooms on their side which made it easier to see them. 

 

(Group 1)

"I think I'll blow his fucking brains out now!" Aile shouted towards the city, the bullet having grazed her cheek and pissing her off. Her horn glowed a faint blue and enveloped her shotgun and disregarding the dangers of running off alone in the fog and began her pursuit of the cyberpony.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip sat there staying close to Dashia keeping his attention ahead of him to keep an eye out for anymore intruders. As he sat there he rubbed Dashia's neck as she slept to try and keep her comfortable, from being this close to Dashia for so long he could feel some sensations creeping around in his head. Chip easily suppressed these sensations, Dashia's comfort and well being was far too important to Chip.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna looked up, she started to sneak around, picking up her stuff. She realized she wasn't that all too quiet. She just hoped that no one would wake up and she would get away. She started to walk over to Dashia and Chip. She noticed the guard had fallen asleep. "Typical" she thought to herself. He was never able to keep his eyes open. She cam over Dashia and Chip and lay near them, not wanting to wake them up, also because she was not sure what she would do next.

(Group 1)

"I think I'll blow his fucking brains out now!" Aile shouted towards the city, the bullet having grazed her cheek and pissing her off. Her horn glowed a faint blue and enveloped her shotgun and disregarding the dangers of running off alone in the fog and began her pursuit of the cyberpony.

 

Crackshot stretched his neck both ways and cocked Persuasion, ready to join Aile in the pursuit.

 

A ghost of a smirk crept onto his face. Now he could get a piece of that little fuck. And scatter the other pieces into the dirt.

 

"Save some for me," he growled, then looked back to Ezekiel before departing, "You coming?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip was still awake when he heard footsteps approaching from behind, just in case he didn't act harshly so to scare or threaten any pony. He then saw the younger filly Dashia had been talking to come and lie down near them.

 

Chip turned his head toward and pay his hoof on the ground beside him and Dashia. "You can come closer so you don't get cold..." He said with his hoof on the spot between him and Dashia. "It's alright i'll be keeping watch for tonight."

 

Chip took his hoof from the spot and looked forward again.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna was surprised, but then again, she wasn't a really quiet pony, so she was not entirely surprised he had detected her. She did as he said and she came closer. She walked to where Chip had had his hoof previously one the ground. She looked up at him and whispered. "Thank you"  and then lay down. 

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip took his hoof from Dashia and ran it through Dyna's mane to help her feel comfortable. "It's no problem, Dashia really seems to like you so I will help you as much as I can." He stated smiling down at her.

 

Chip removed his hoof from Dyna after a few strokes of her mane.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

When Dyna lays down a wing soon finds its way over her. A Kind caring and protective wing. "Sleep well..." Dashia had only woken for a moment. She likes the scents that are mingling. It also seems Dashia's scent is masked partly by Dynas so the side effects of her cycle seem to have dimmed.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna liked being stroked through her mane. It reminded her of her parents, when they had still be alive, when she had family. She was a bit sad when Chip stopped stroking her and that wonderful feeling went away, however, she did not complain. She remembered her place and lay there still, smiling a bit for at least having been able to get that little feeling again. She was a bit surprised that Dashia seemed to be awake as well, but thought to herself that she must learn to be sneakier. She liked the sensation of having a wing over her. That reminded her of her mother when she could not sleep at nights.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Crackshot stretched his neck both ways and cocked Persuasion, ready to join Aile in the pursuit.

 

A ghost of a smirk crept onto his face. Now he could get a piece of that little fuck. And scatter the other pieces into the dirt.

 

"Save some for me," he growled, then looked back to Ezekiel before departing, "You coming?"

 

Why wouldn't he be?

 

Ezekiel swept up and sheathed Khalid to join his friends. He was still unsure of where this was headed. He certainly did not wish to bring death if there was another way, but if he had no choice but to defend himself and his friends, he certainly would.

[Defender of Tomorrow 323]

Aile been galloping for sometime and found herself way ahead of Crackshot to maintain sight of the robotic pony, unfortunately though, he was much too fast for her and she found herself all alone in the fog. She looked around, panting hard, her breath condensing in the much colder-than-before temperatures, her ears perking at the subtle sounds of hoofsteps causing her to draw her shotgun at the direction of the sound every time. "Where are you at, fucker?" she mumbled to herself as she began to see the silhouette of a pony in the fog and kept her aim on it. 'Shit, I'm so fucking stupid..' she thought to herself as she realized that the pony-figure might be Crackshot or even Ezekiel and refrained from firing for that very reason.

[Unicorncob 5,690]

Crackshot slowed to a halt as he began to lose Aile in the fog.

"Shit," he mumbled, looking all around him, "This was a bad idea."

 

He glanced behind him. Ezekiel's pendant caused a brilliant glow in the fog. At least he knew where he was.

 

He kept Persuasion levelled, in case somepony, or something, tried to jump him in the fog.

Speaking of which, the fog certainly felt much colder than before.

 

This was not right.
