Fallout Equestria RP (Private)

"You know I have a point. If the group gets like this after every single fight, we'll be taken out rather quickly. I'm sorry about killing them and I truly wish I didn't have to but imagine this: We let them go. They go to their camp. They gather an army of a hundred. They come at us. What would happen then?"

[Authetius 30]

Aria whipped away her tears, "I'm sorry - it's just... not what I wanted. I know you're all right, I just don't want to see you killing. Those two - we never even knew their names. They may have had family. Oh god what if they had children. What have I done? I was the one who got us to leave."

[Linguz 140]

Gizmo rapped her on the head with a hoof. "It is not your fault. I know it hurts, but this is the real world. There is no going back. We all wanted to leave. We need you, okay? You're the only one of us who actually has studied medicine."

[Strong Hooves 289]

(hey I have a basketball game so I'm gonna be off for a couple hours, how much longer are you all planning to post tonight?)

[Slendermane 477]

Autumn sat back and watched as the argument broke out, but he didn't know what to do. He knew that killing those ponies had been wrong, but if they hadn't, they would be dead right now. "We have to survive, but that doesn't mean we have to become like them. We are still us, and we should do what we can to prevent needless killing and dying. I remember a couple of quotes from a book I read once. It translates as 'Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you stare into the abyss the abyss stares into you.' It means we need to hold onto our light, our goodness and better judgement for as long as we can. Even in the darkest night, a light still shines."

I hope that comforted them, rather than scared them. I'm not very good at this.

"this new life will certainly take some getting used to" jettson said to the others, he examined the pistol that he took from the one he killed, he put it up after he flash backed to braining that pony

[Authetius 30]

"I know, just... Just try to give ponies chances in the fortune, please? For me please? Or at least for old time's sake? I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt at least..." She looked away and blushed, completely embraced by her out burst and lack of self control.

[Linguz 140]

"Do you think I'd just flat out attack someone? I would never even think about such an action, but if they try to get too close or move in a threatening manner, I will pull out guns. Don't worry, it might be rough here but I would never stoop to murder for pleasure."

[Authetius 30]

Melody frowned, "Just keep that promise to me no matter what happens out here. I would rather die than see you or me soaked in blood." She shut her mouth and walked past Gizmo to stone where she had dropped her saddlebag and violin and put them on.

[Linguz 140]

Gizmo nodded and watched her pass. He quickly headed back to the main group. "Okay. Everyone ready to go now?"

[Skullbuster 1,906]

"yeah" jettson replied "im ready" like we have much of a choice he thought to himself

[SuperTheAwesome 199]

(Look at who's finished with his homework! ME! )

 

"I'm ready to go!" Lunar shouted. All of this blood was making him sick, and he was even more sickened by the little bit of him that enjoyed it. No, no. Lunar thought You cannot go crazy again. If you actually had a weapon that time... Lunar stopped. He hadn't even thought about when he tried to attack his parents as a child. He was mad at himself so much for doing it.

 

(Backstories FTW)

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong Hooves gave a sigh, then turned to join the others, "Actually, I've been ready for a while now"...

[Slendermane 477]

"I'm packed and ready. I've just been waiting for everypony else." And I also wanted to make sure Silent Melody was alright. She seemed pretty shaken. Then again, so was I. "Got everything we need?"

[Evilshy 5,090]

(waiting patiently for the group to start moving so it doesn't seem like Sigh ran a mile, blew shit up, and ran a mile back in a few minutes.)

[Strong Hooves 289]

(Well I'm going to go on and get this moving on since no one posted after Slendermane, sorry if I ninja'd anyone)

 

Walking to the town could be accurately described by Strong Hooves in one word... quiet. Any other time, Strong Hooves would enjoy the quiet, but then again, any other time it was quiet was when he was alone. This is madness! he thought, How can we all expect not to go crazy with this silence? Even I dont like this quiet, and I'm probably the least social of anypony in this group! As nonsocial as Strong Hooves was, he knew he had to try something to at least break this silence, "Soo..." he began, "Since we got this time on our hooves, why dont we get to know eachother a little better? We could... uhhh..." then an idea popped in his head, "Oh! We could talk about how each of us got our cutiemarks!" Dear Celestia please dont let this backfire on me...

[Linguz 140]

Gizmo raised his eyebrow at Strong's suggestion of how to pass the time. It wasn't perfect, but it was better then silence. He cleared his throat and began, "I guess I'll start if nobody else will. As you can all see, my cutie mark is a three tiered gear. Maybe you'll all remember those days plenty of years back when the entire stable began to get very cold? The reactor was breaking down and none of the engineering ponies were able to do anything about it. My dad was in there as well, so one day I took his keys to the reactor, grabbed his tools, and went down there myself. I hit the reactor once and, well, my electricity flowed into it, kick starting it back up. That's what originally gave me my job helping my dad out in engineering. It wasn't an official job, but I didn't care. I would work in there with all the tech and such. One day, I was tinkering with some of the electronics and I put something together that worked. It was just a bunch of scrap metal from broken down and deteriorated tools to them, but I saw the pile as a treasure of scrap metal to be worked on. I got my cutie mark when I made that tool and have worked in engineering since."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong Hooves gave an impressed whistle as he listened to Gizmo's story, "Yeah, I do remember that time" he said. "Well I guess I'll go next, Im sure you remember when we still had classes as little colts and fillies, I think we had the same class together Gizmo. Anyway, the teacher never really liked me all that much , called me a 'waste of time and energy' mainly because I just slept in class all day. I wasnt very social, mainly because I was so much bigger than the others and they shied away from me, so i spent most of my time with my dad during his patrol rounds. I idolized my father and everything he did. You all remember Commander Ironbuck right?" his father was a well known and greatly respected guard in the Stable, "Well, I wanted to be just like him, and it showed because I was the one who broke up most fights in school, standing up for the smaller colts and fillies who couldnt stand up for themselves. My dad saw this, and said that he was proud of what I did, he told me I was being a 'Shield against injustice' that I was 'A symbol of strength to others'. It was when he said this that I got this" he gestured to his cutiemark, "It is a celtic symbol that represents the shield of strength and protection, it was then that I decided to follow my father's hoofsteps and become a Stable guard".

 

(Here is what the symbol looks like of you are unfamiliar with it)

"One day I was running from some bullies, and I wandered into the Stable library. I only had read a couple of books before, but I started to read to pass the time as I hid. I became completely caught up in the story. Has anypony ever heard of the story of The Count of Monte Celestia (The Count of Monte Cristo)? Anyway, my parents found me late that night, and had to drag me from that library. I started spending all of my free time there. One time I completly reorganized the library, and somepony said I was a better librarian than the current one. That was when I got my cutie mark. Anyway, I had started to get obsessed with the outside world. On the day I was to recieve my work assignment from the Overmare, I started to tell her about how he nedded to send out scouts to look for better resources and start trade, and how we would all eventually be inbred. She wasn't very happy about that. Everypony knew I should have been the new librarian, but she assigned me to be a teacher instead."

[SuperTheAwesome 199]

Lunar sighed, "I'd really not like to talk about that" All the other ponies in his group got their cutiemarks from helping others, while he was being a selfish bastard. One day, Lunar had went to visit his parents when he saw them fighting. Lunar tried to stop the fight, but his father kept pushing Lunar away with some spell. Lunar got upset, and his horn started to glow. Lunar levitated himself onto his father and punched him in the face again, and again, and again, and again. Lunar's mother finally got Lunar to calm down, and he started to run off. His mother tried to go after him, but Lunar's horn was starting to glow again. Lunar vanished into thin air, and when he reappeared on the far end of the stable, he had his cutiemark.

 

(Bleh, school again.)

[Evilshy 5,090]

Sigh caught up with the group. He smiled at them.

 

"Well, I got my stuff back. And I don't think we'll have to worry about them for a while. They'll spend the next few days scratching their heads, trying to figure out how half the camp suddenly burst into flames." he laughed loudly.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong Hooves' mouth fell open as he heard this, "You set their camp on FIRE!?! Those ponies were right you are insane!" he was really beginning to wonder wether or not he wanted this unicorn accompanying them.

[Linguz 140]

Gizmo sighed. "It's good to have you back. I know that if we want your help, we have to let you do some things even if we don't like it. We were just talking about how we got out cutie marks, care to join us?"

[Evilshy 5,090]

Sigh shook his head. "ah, you're right, I am insane. If I was sane, I'd have killed them all to make sure nopony would be trying to follow us. I didn't because I thought it'd upset you too much." he slapped himself across the face. "I guess setting their stuff on fire will keep them busy for awhile, but they'll likely start trying to find us. We're all insane for letting vengeful ponies live so they can focus all their energy on finding and killing us."

 

He shook his head, and then looked up brightly. "But hey, enough of that, we can kill them later, right? It might be a little harder, but who cares?" He put his arm over Gizmo's shoulder as they walked on. "So, my cutie mark story... To tell you the truth, I don't remember exactly when it happened. I know it was after we left the Stable. I think it was when we were trying to survive after having everything we knew taken away from us. I found that I was good at starting fires, so at the very least, we could stay warm. At some point, I got this cutie mark here. Not sure when." he shrugged. "Doesn't matter much, I learned a lot more from growing up in a gang then I did from starting campfires and getting a cutie mark."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong Hooves, no matter how repelled he felt, couldnt help feel a tug of curiosity at the mention of Sigh's Stable. "So what happened to everypony else from the Stable? Are any of them still around?"
