- > "Applejack, dear, it seem we'll have to wait. It appears as though Rainbow Dash is in rather urgent need of lessons in etiquette."
- > "Now that don't trouble me none, Rarity."
- > Twilight is just glaring at her.
- > Rainbow Dash however is looking past her three, rather upset friends, right at you.
- > The look of pleading in her eyes is more then enough to inspire your intervention.
- "I did not think that through properly before speaking. Your friend did not 'Attack me' so much as attempt to come to the aid of a friend she thought to be in danger"
- > You recall how the attempted assault ended.
- "Nothing was hurt but pride, so all is forgiven."
- > Rarity pipes up.
- > "Well I hope that she at least apologized."
- > Wait does she think..?
- > Really?
- > You'd bust a gut if you had one.
- > Once again your odd version of laughter rings through the immediate area.
- > This earns confused looks from five of the p0nies and a hurt look from Rainbow Dash.
- > When you regain your composure, you manage to get out the sentence.
- "It was not my pride that was hurt ma'am."
- > Applejack makes a jab at Rainbow Dash.
- > "Darn Rainbow, Y'all got beat by a slab ah' wood?"
- "I take offense to that."
- > Oh and now would be a good time to clarify.
- "Rainbow Dash has nothing to be ashamed of, her actions where noble, even if the battle was pitched against her."
- > This time it seems to be Applejack who is offended.
- > "What da y'all mean, 'pitched against her' RD heres the toughest gall I know... Other than mahself 'a' course."
- > Oh boy, time for explanations!
- > Yeah this is exactly what you where looking forward to this morning.
- > Trying to summarize your race for a group of brightly colored equines!
- "Alright, did Twilight tell you what my kind is called?"
- > A Nod in the negative from them is your answer.
- "My kind is called 'Warforged' and that name is not coined, it is literal.
- We are a race of living constructs who were..."
- > You are interrupted by Twilight.
- > "Living constructs?"
- > You turn your attention to her.
- "Creatures who are built, rather then born, and given life and souls through magical means"
- > She writes this down on a parchment, that you didn't see her pull out.
- > "Okay... Got it."
- "Anyway. My race was designed and built from the ground up by brilliant magi and artificers for the sole purp..."
- > To your frustration Twilight interrupts you again, once more redrawing your attention.
- > "Artificers?"
- "Men, women and machines who's specialty in arcane studies is combining magic and machinery"
- > She nods again and writes that down as well.
- > "Alright... Thank you"
- "I hate to sound rude but, may I finish this without another interruption?"
- > The face she makes is cute enough to dispel your frustration.
- > "Ehehe... Sorry"
- > You just nod.
- "My kind was purpose built with one thing in mind... War.
- > The look on Twilights face is screaming at you that she has a question.
- > To her credit though she doesn't voice it.
- "Now, as I'm sure you can imagine...
- > This time it's Rarity who interrupts.
- > "Why would anyone do something as barbaric as... as making whole race just for a... war"
- > Note to self : Unicorns will never let you finish your sentence.
- > Your mounting frustration guides your answer.
- > What?
- > No one ever said you where a diplomat.
- "It may have something to do with the fact that the war had been raging on for well over sixty years, and virtually all viable recruits, where already enlisted or dead.
- May I continue?"
- > "Oh how rude of me, terribly sorry"
- > You swear you felt an eye twitch.
- "That's alright.
- Now then...
- My race was made for the purpose of fighting, as such, most of us are better at it than members of mortal races."
- > Rainbow Dash throws up the first comment.
- > "So... how good are you at fighting exactly?"
- "The first two months of my life where spent training in a Cannith war camp. Once my training there was complete I was sent to further training with the army that purchased me. From then I spent over thirty years in almost constant combat to the death, and when my... career... as a soldier was over I became an adventurer.
- A career which meant that I literally, picked up contracts to go and put myself in harms way and kill for the interests of others."
- > You pause
- "I'll let you decide what that means"
- > The reactions are mixed.
- > Fluttershy appears to be bordering on tears, and is shaking as though she expects you to suddenly begin a blood-lust driven slaughter.
- > Twilights face is a mix of fear and fascination.
- > Applejacks face is passive, but her stance has shifter slightly.
- > She is obviously preparing for an attack.
- > Pinkie Pie is just sitting there staring at you.
- > Rarity looks like she is about to be sick.
- > And Rainbow Dash... She looks like she has gone into shock.
- > Way to go.
- > You're in a room with the six beings who wanted to help other get over there fear of you.
- > So what do you do?
- > Terrify them.
- > Smooth...
- > Okay you need to fix the p0nies.
- > Plan A is out for obvious reasons.
- > Formulate plan B?
- > Nope, your gonna make it up as you go along!
- "None of you have anything to fear.
- Though I have ended many lives in my time, I would sooner take my own life, than harm an innocent."
- > Applejack speaks up.
- > "Then why'd ya fight in tha war ta begin with?"
- > Okay don't wing this one...
- "When my kind was created we knew nothing but war.
- There was no moral conflict, or right and wrong involved.
- We simply fought and killed because we where told to.
- Further more even if we had known the difference only one army recognized us as people and not possessions, so we wouldn't have had any say in the matter.
- We where thrown into war against enemies we couldn't negotiate with, and we did what we had to do.
- > Too long you fought with this idea.
- > Far too long.
- > "Well aye don't like it one bit, ya can say that ya can't reason with em all ya want but gettin' violents' never tha answer"
- > Coup de gras incoming.
- "Even when they have murdered children, foals I think you called them?"
- > Yep that did it
- > You turn to Pinkie Pie
- "There are two 'foals' sound asleep upstairs.
- What would you do to protect them... what would you give?
- > She looks up at you, the void in her eyes is gone, replaced by a ferocious gleam.
- > "Anything..."
- "You would die for them?"
- > She doesn't bat an eyelash.
- > "Yes..."
- "You would kill for them?"
- > This time she looks at the ground.
- > Her hair straightens and her coat darkens, her eyes have become that of a demons.
- > She looks back up at you...
- > "Yes..."
