Sigh drew a rough sketch in the dirt. "if you go south and a bit west, you'll hit this little town here. We can stay there a while, if you want." he looked at the group inquisitively. "What exactly are you trying to do out here, anyway?"

[Linguz 140]

Gizmo gave him the simplest response he could think of, "Live our lives."

 

He continued to speak afterwards, "You're not coming with us?"

[Slendermane 477]

"We should keep what ammo we need for the guns we have. Who knows when we will find more." Autumn turned to Sigh. "We came here to make a better life for ourselves, outside of the Stable. Now, we just want to survive." I don't care what he says, Celestia didn't make the world this way, ponies do. She is probably weeping for the world in the afterlife, wishing there was something she could do.

Strong Hooves looked at the crudely drawn map, "As long as this town is friendly, I'd say that's the best place to go. What do you think Gizmo?"...

 

(as of right now, I'm rping during a tornado warning lol)

"It's the only town we know of now, so we don't really have much of a choice. These guns will get in the way of our fighting even if we were able to carry as many as we wanted so we have to get them sold fast."

[Slendermane 477]

"I just hope we don't have to fight our way out of a town looking for revenge."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong Hooves nodded in agreement with Gizmo, "Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's get going" he then turned to Sigh, "How long are you planning on accompanying us?"...

[Evilshy 5,090]

Sigh shrugged. "Eh, until I think you can manage on your own, maybe not stick out so much. Until you learn how to live out here." he leaned in a little closer. "I was in a stable once, but there was a malfunction of some sort, and we had to evacuate. We didn't know what was going on, or how to survive out here. Some did, some didn't. My talent with fire helped out a lot, though. So much that I a gang kidnapped my family and threatened to kill them if I didn't work for them, so I did. That's how I learned what's it's like out here. No need for everypony to learn like that, though." he motioned to the stable watchers camp. "I just remembered, I left a few of my possessions back there. You go ahead, I'll catch up once I get them back."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong Hooves joined the others after Sigh had left, he looked at Silent Melody, she was very quiet ever since the battle had ended, he wasnt sure how she was handling all that had happened. "Hey Melody" he said gently, "Are you doing ok?"

Completely oblivious to the emotinal conflict others were having, Gizmo began to head out south by southwest. When he noticed the others weren't following, he turned around and spoke in a monotone voice, "You heard him. Come on, we have to get moving."

[Authetius 30]

Melody stood in shocked silence for the longest time, completely oblivious to everything around her as she stared at the two corpses. It was as if the final pieces of glass that had been her hopes and dreams had fallen out and shattered. Tears welled up in her eyes, yet she refused to release them. Looking back at Gizmo, she whispered, "You killed them..."

[Linguz 140]

Gizmo stared at her for a second before replying, "Like I said. If we want to live here, we need to be able to kill." He blinked, completely unaffected by her voice. "We have to keep moving. Come on."

[Slendermane 477]

Sigh survived because he had a talent with fire, huh? Where does that leave me? I doubt I wil find many books out here. I think it's obvious to everyone I won't last very long. He have a guard, who is best at protecting others, a medic who can also sing and boost moral, a mechanic, a magic user, and Jettson. And I'm just a teacher. What am I going to do, put bandits in detention? I'll do what I can to help everypony, but I'm expendable. If I'm not going to last long, I might as well make myself useful while I can. Autumn followed along quietly.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong Hooves followed as he saw the others leaving, knowing the hurt and anguish in Melody's voice, and the emotionless tone in Gizmo's would haunt him. Even though he didn't know these ponies all too well, he still felt a paing of sorrow seeing them like this. He didn't know what to say to them to make them feel any better, he was never good at talking, so he kept quiet as he walked with them.

[Evilshy 5,090]

Sigh retrieved his jacket and hat from the hill. He put the hat in his bag and quickly turned the jacket inside out; at a distance, he'd appear to be a different pony. He limped towards the camp, hoping they might confuse him for a survivor. As he walked through the battlefield, he grabbed the shirt of a pony and wrapped it around his gun to work as a makeshift silencer. As he approached the camp, the guards saw him. One of them ran up to him.

 

"hey! What happened? We saw explosions, but we didn't want to leave the kids an-" he was cut off as Sigh shot him. He ran forward, catching the other two guards by surprise. The kicked the gun out of the hooves of one as he brought his gun around and shot the other. The remaining guard landed a punch and knocked Sigh to the ground. He ran towards his radio, which he had left in his chair. As he picked it up, Sigh's horn glowed, and the radio sparked and burst into flame. The pony dropped it with a shout, then turned to see Sigh pointing his a gun at him.

 

"W-w-wait, don't shoot! What do you want?" he stammered.

 

Sigh replied casually. "Oh, I was here earlier and forgot to grab the guns you confiscated on my way out. Would you mind showing me where they are?"

 

The guard nodded nervously and pointed at a metal box with a large lock on it. Sigh motioned towards it, and the guard bent down an unlocked it. He paused, wondering if he would be able to grab the guns before Sigh could react, but Sigh seemed to know what he was thinking.

 

"Yeah, go ahead, try it. See how far you get." he said. When the guard didn't move, he knocked him out with the butt of his gun. He looked into the crate to find his two pistols, as well as the ammo he had purchased earlier. He put the guns in his belt and the ammo in his bag, and quickly ducked into the guard tent. There was a single pony, sleeping on a bed, so Sigh quietly relieved him of his gun and then got out of the tent. He walked away slowly. When henwas about 30 feet from the tent, he closed his eyes and concentrated hard, his horn glowing. The tent burst into flames. Seem's I've fully recovered. He laughed out loud and began to run around the edge of the camp, setting random tents and shacks on fire. By the time most of the ponies had realized the place was on fire, Sigh was gone.

[Authetius 30]

Melody broke down, "What the fuck is wrong with you Gizmo? This is not who you were in the stable! This is not what I wanted it all to be like!" She slapped Gizmo with all her strength, which wasn't much due to her size - but it's the thought that counts after all.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

jettson finaly got a hold of himself and wiped the blood off his wrench, and picked up some ammo, he sighed and looked at the others deciding the fate of the prisoners

[Strong Hooves 289]

As soon as Melody had struck Gizmo, Strong Hooves' instincts as a guard kicked in, he jumped in between the two ponies, using a forehoof to hold back the little unicorn. He didnt use enough strength to push her, but it was assertive enough to get his point across. He then glared at Melody and said, his voice having a more baritone pitch, "Melody! I'm not sure you realize this, but those ponies were out to kill us! What Gizmo did, no matter how dark it seemed, was the right thing to do! You need to realize that he has more sense of any of us right about now and especially more than you! We cannot expect to live in this hostile enviornment unless we adapt to it, and that means doing things we would never dream of doing!" his gaze then softened, "I dont like this any more than you do Melody, but sometimes... doing the right thing isnt always gonna be the moral thing, the faster you realize that, the more of a chance you will have to survive. We are all we have to hold onto" he gestured to the group, "I dont want us to split up so quickly"...

[Authetius 30]

A tear streaked down her face at one of Strong Hoove's last comments. "We are all we have to hold onto..." She had never really had Gizmo, yet she felt like she was losing him all the same. All her hopes and dreams had been crushed and thoroughly pulverized before her eyes over the last several hours and it seemed like the final and most important piece had gone with it all.

[Linguz 140]

Melody's slap knocked some sense into Gizmo. Not much, a little bit less than half of what it was. He looked at her eyes, finally seeing something else other than the surface. He pushed Strong Hooves out of the way and looked into her eyes. He saw the tear and moved his hoof to brush it away. "Sorry about that." He smiled like he had within the stable before turning around. "But what I said before still stands. The ponies, and most likely all other creatures, here will be, more than likely, hostile, so we will still have to kill, even if you don't like it." He turned his head and looked back at Melody. "You okay now?"

[Skullbuster 1,906]

"we cant let this get to us" jettson spoke up "we'll go crazy! lets just find some where safe" despite saying this jettson was still in a little bit of shock of what just happened

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Jettson's right" said Strong Hooves, "if we let what happened here effect us, then we're no better than the rest of this wasteland, now let's go find that town and get some of these weapons sold, I dont plan on toting these around the rest of the day"...

[Authetius 30]

"N-no. No pony had to die. Y-your wrong." As hard as she tried to hold them back, more tears fell down her face. While the brief show of kindness was enough to reignite the hope she had held onto for ages, it also set blaze to the fear of him being right. she looked down, not wanting to show her own crying. "This is all my fault, we should have never left the stable," she whispered.

[Linguz 140]

Gizmo sighed. "Everyone, give us a few moments." He put a hoof around her neck and dragged her sideways.

 

When he was out of earshot of the group, he began to speak, "We all wanted to get out of there. It's not your fault." He looked around for a napkin or something to wipe her tears away but couldn't find anything. His own vest was filled with ash and dust from work still so he couldn't offer that and wiping it away with his hooves would be really repetitive. Instead, he decided to stand by her side and just talk, "Now stop crying. That's not the Melody I know."

[Authetius 30]

"And your not the Gizmo I loved. You just killed two ponies. I could get over the first ones, but those two - they no longer posed a threat. You're just as bad as those who attacked us."
