  1. [2/3/2014 9:55:01 PM] Solid Snake: A shivvering mare coddels a foal admist fire and ash, gunshots and yelling. She sings to the unconscious filly, almost crying.
  2.  
  3. "y-you are my s-s-sunshine, my only sunshine...*Gunshots*..
  4. y- you make me happy, when skies are gray...
  5. Y- You'llnever know dear, how much I love you.. *An explosion echos*
  6. S- So please...please don't take.. My sunshine...away..."
  7.  
  8. The sounds of gunshots, screaming, and hollaring, like a bat out of tartarus, but the mare does not look away, she plases the filly on a bed, in her small room.
  9.  
  10. "I'll always l-love you and make you ha...happy
  11. If you will only say the same
  12. But if you leave me to love another..
  13. But you'll regret it all some day.."
  14.  
  15. She's barely holding back tears as the door kicks open, to reveal a savage brick red Stallion, with a wild, jet black mane, he smiles a horrid smile, as she smells his burnt breath from where she is.
  16.  
  17.  
  18. "Fellas! There's a bitch in here too!"
  19.  
  20. The mare gasps, and draws a gun, aiming it at the filly, she knows what Raiders do.
  21.  
  22. "Darling- I'm so sorr-"
  23.  
  24. She's stopped as the stallion uses a chain to last the gun out, and the strike breaks a few of her teeth, as she falls to the floor, crying.
  25.  
  26. The Brick-red stallion dives on her, and slams her head against the floor, and grinds his pelvis against her flank.
  27.  
  28. "S-Stargaze!! HEEEELP!"
  29.  
  30. A absoloutly feral mare leans in the doorway, her eyes are like the gates of tartarus itself. "You mean THIS guy?" She shows half-of a severed head on a pike, laughing as if it was a popsicle stick joke.
  31.  
  32. The mare starts to cry. "Just-Leave the foal alone, don't do anything! Take ME! Do what you like... just.. she's...."
  33.  
  34. The brick red stallion grips her mane, and slams it into the ground again.
  35. "Shut the FUCK up! You useless cunt!!"
  36.  
  37. The feral mare grins, dropping the split-head. "Rape her, Aark! Fuck the shit outta her.. Then me! I wanna do it ouside, se we can see the boy's work!"
  38.  
  39. The red stallion, 'Aark' Stands up. "Nah, business before pleasure. More t' do here.." He kicks the mare, who's sobbing, staring off with dead eyes. "Leave this bitch for Ravage.. He didn't make it through the last two he fucked.. Should be a good show.."
  40.  
  41. "..What about the little shit?"
  42.  
  43. Aark looks at the unconscious filly.
  44.  
  45. "... See if Carver wants her, he likes the little ones.." He gets a good look at the small fry, and blinks as she yawns, and curls up a bit. "..."
  46.  
  47. "...Actually, Twisted. I-.. I was th-thinking.. Am I still yer favorite?"
  48.  
  49. She lets her tongue hang out, trying to look seductive. "Of course.."
  50.  
  51. "Then FUCK Carver, fuck Ravage, fuck Garner, FUCK Sever, and especially fuck Volt..Let's...Get outta her. Me an' you, we'll grab what we can, and just leave. Start somethin' new.. I know we gave the last one to carver, but.. Let's... Bring the kid with us. See if we can get ransome money at some village.. Something for her, that ain't this..."
  52.  
  53. "They'll chase us, ya bleedin' heart."
  54.  
  55. "Through Coaltown."
  56.  
  57. "The minefield!" She says, knowing he knows the way through. "But I WILL take a rain check on that wild fucking.."
  58.  
  59. Aark just looks at the filly again, and hears hoofsteps up the stairs.
  60.  
  61. "I wanna shoot the shit outta Carver before we go. I've always hated that foal-fooler.. Let's blow his brains out."
  62.  
  63. Twisted nerve smiles. "Let's do it, Skyyfourth.. Me and you..."
  64.  
  65.  
  66. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  67.  
  68. "Papa?"
  69.  
  70. "Tol' ya not t' call me that.."
  71.  
  72. "Are you okay?"
  73.  
  74. "Fine."
  75.  
  76. "Then why did you cough blood."
  77.  
  78. "...Shush up, Darlin', time fer bed.."

  84.  
  85. Raiders.
  86.  
  87. They are the result of a great tragedy in the Equestrian Wasteland. Once ponies who were born with virtue and the ability to love, had the Wasteland eroded all those qualities away, leaving behind an animal that hunts down those who have not succumbed to the Wasteland's temptations.
  88. [2/3/2014 10:14:32 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Known for their bloodlust, Raiders had plagued the Wasteland and it's survivors everyday since the years after the balefire bombs were set off. All they want are weapons, caps, and to live on their urge to continue the bloody rampage they leave behind. How can one negociate with that?
  89. [2/3/2014 10:16:38 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Yet strangly, for one Raider, did he find something that changed his way of life forever. But can one who has commited crimes against ponykind, far more inequane that even ponies like Red Eye and the Enclave would frown upon, can ever find inner sanctuary for his new found light? Perhaps, we'll just have to see.
  90. [2/3/2014 10:16:59 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Prologue Session B: Begin**
  91. [2/3/2014 10:19:13 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Both Aark and Darlin have been traveling through the ruins of an abandoned city who's name has been lost for centuries. 5 days ago had they ran in with one of Aark's old gang that he used to be in. The encounter to say was not a pleasant one. Seeking to find shelter and perhaps a place to scavenge for food did they come into the abandoned city.
  92. [2/3/2014 10:20:54 PM | Edited 10:21:02 PM] Solid Snake: "Keep it down, walk in my hoofprints.."
  93.  
  94. "Bu-
  95.  
  96. He shoots around. "Shhhh- not a word, till we know it's clear...Fuckin' psycho's are still followin' us.."
  97. [2/3/2014 10:21:17 PM] Solid Snake: Vigilant, he looks about. "..."
  98. [2/3/2014 10:26:13 PM] TheWanderingZebra: No sign of the gang as he looks around at the empty steel towers, innards of old business desks and other junk seeping out of the gaping wounds they had. By a nearby tower they were close by did Aark take notice of a rather odd poster.
  99. [2/3/2014 10:26:45 PM] TheWanderingZebra: http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2012/015/6/b/pinkie_pie_is_watching_you_by_oxon1-d4mfhvh.png
  100. [2/3/2014 10:27:54 PM] Solid Snake: He looks at Darlin. Wordless communication. She hides around the corner, not liking the tension, as Ark QUICKLY crosses the street, and slips into a gutted building, and gestures for her to followe.
  101. [2/3/2014 10:33:07 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The gutted building was completely full of debris, some of the roof actually forming a form of stairs to the next floor, though the stability of it all looked questionable. A few drawers, desks, and some funiture appeared to survive, as well as a glowing terminal.
  102. [2/3/2014 10:34:33 PM] Solid Snake: Aark looks at the terminal for a moment, as Darlin looks through drawrs, and shelves, she knows what to look for. They had to leave most of their gear behind when they ran a few days ago.
  103. [2/3/2014 10:39:12 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Darlin is able to find 4 caps, a pack of cigerattes, 3 9 mm ammo, and some scrap metal.
  104. [2/3/2014 10:39:54 PM] Solid Snake: She pockets the caps.
  105. [2/3/2014 10:40:01 PM] Solid Snake: Taught bullets are important.
  106. [2/3/2014 10:40:16 PM] Solid Snake: Aark likes cigarettes, maybe she'll get praise for these!
  107. [2/3/2014 10:40:38 PM] Solid Snake: And, not knowing what this scap could be for, she takes it.
  108. [2/3/2014 10:45:47 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The sun appeared to be coming down now as both Aark and Darlin could see the ray of sunlight from the openings from the building they're both in begin to fall. It's been two years since the Light Bringer had revealed the sun to everypony. But, the mere sight of the sun wouldn't stop the harsh living conditions they were currently in.
  109. [2/3/2014 10:47:05 PM] Solid Snake: "Aark!" She poddles over.
  110.  
  111. "Hrm?"
  112.  
  113. "Lookie! Look what I found!"
  114.  
  115. She shows him the cigarettes. "I'll take those. Good t' have 'em."
  116.  
  117. "..."
  118. [2/3/2014 10:49:46 PM] TheWanderingZebra: There appeared to be more drawers in the next floor. From the collapsed celing perhaps they could use it as a stairway to get up there. Alternativly, they could continue to explore the rest of the floor they're on.
  119. [2/3/2014 10:50:32 PM] Solid Snake: "C'mon." Aark leaves, and Darlin' isupset she didn't get so much as a 'good job' or 'thanks'
  120. [2/3/2014 10:50:47 PM] Solid Snake: He leads the way upstairs.
  121. [2/3/2014 10:51:39 PM] Solid Snake: The two work great together, they have a set of rules, and how things work. She's traint to react in different ways depending on what they are doing.
  122. [2/3/2014 10:54:57 PM] TheWanderingZebra: It's amazing how the collapsed ceiling could work as stairs. Then again, when did logic ever matter in this world?
  123.  
  124. Everything appeared to be a bit more clean, though with a few lights coming from the ceiling now dangling down as they flash back on and off. A few desks were organized together, papers that would of had meaning 200 years ago littering the floor.
  125. [2/3/2014 10:59:55 PM] Solid Snake: Aark cannot read, and so he ignores them. He looks about more.
  126.  
  127. "We gotta get outta thise town before sundown.."
  128.  
  129. "Papa?"
  130.  
  131. "AARK."
  132.  
  133. "Aark?"
  134.  
  135. "hrm?"
  136.  
  137. "Who were those Ponies?"
  138.  
  139. "Nopony."
  140.  
  141. "But they knew your name..."
  142.  
  143. "Old friends."
  144.  
  145. "But you're not friends anymore?"
  146.  
  147. "Not friends no more."
  148. [2/3/2014 11:03:06 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Darlin could hear a faint robotic sounding hoot from somewhere, though Aark suspected ABSOLUTLY NOTHING.
  149. [2/3/2014 11:09:34 PM] Solid Snake: "A-Aark.."
  150. Her ears go back, and she crouches down, lifing a hoof. Aark knows what that means....
  151. [2/3/2014 11:10:00 PM] Solid Snake: He prepares his weapons, and looks about.
  152. [2/3/2014 11:12:47 PM] Solid Snake: "I heard a metal noise.."
  153. [2/3/2014 11:13:18 PM] Solid Snake: She whispers, as Aark keeps a lookout, and keeps ready to catch a bullet for her, if he has to.
  154. [2/3/2014 11:14:56 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Searching around the room could Aark see the Owl Bot that had been hiding in a corner, it's eyes glowing red as it looked at the two intruders. It began to hoot even louder, as two more hoots could be heard, two more owl bots flying along to surround both Aark and Darlin.
  155. [2/3/2014 11:15:22 PM] Solid Snake: "RUN!"
  156. [2/3/2014 11:15:40 PM] Solid Snake: They bolt, back downstairs, going back for the street.
  157. [2/3/2014 11:16:38 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The owl bots don't seem to enjoy the idea of a "threat" running away from them, pursuing the pair as one of them fired off a beam at Aark.
  158. [2/3/2014 11:18:22 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The beam of magical energy seems to leave heat where Aark got hit, but it probably felt like a bee sting to him.
  159. [2/3/2014 11:19:55 PM] Solid Snake: "Go!" Darlin squeaks, and takes cover behind a dustbin, as Aark turns around, firing a volly of shots at the owlbot.
  160. [2/3/2014 11:28:23 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The first two shots seem to miss the first owl bot, but the third one has it's twin bullets penetrate the old machine as it begins to spark, falling to the floor in defeat.
  161. [2/3/2014 11:29:30 PM] Solid Snake: "Darlin'! go!"
  162.  
  163. She runs down the street, and he follows.
  164. [2/3/2014 11:31:21 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The duo appear to be able to outrun the two owl bots, who give up their pursuit of the two.
  165. [2/3/2014 11:32:33 PM] Solid Snake: "Aark.."
  166.  
  167. "Shush up!"
  168. [2/3/2014 11:32:50 PM] Solid Snake: He looks behind him.
  169. [2/3/2014 11:32:59 PM] Solid Snake: "What was that?"
  170. [2/3/2014 11:33:26 PM] Solid Snake: "Automotons."
  171. [2/3/2014 11:36:08 PM] TheWanderingZebra: It appears that night has finally fallen, the cold breaze of Luna's night could be felt by our duo.
  172. [2/3/2014 11:37:12 PM] Solid Snake: "Let's go."
  173.  
  174. *Whines*
  175.  
  176. "What IS it NOW?"
  177.  
  178. "I'm tired.."
  179.  
  180. "..."
  181. [2/3/2014 11:37:24 PM] Solid Snake: He stops to look at her, Gah! Those eyes!
  182. [2/3/2014 11:37:43 PM] Solid Snake: "Let's find a place to rest, an' maybe eat.. But we ain't stayin' here.."
  183. [2/3/2014 11:39:31 PM] TheWanderingZebra: A glance around and both Aark and Darlin find an abandoned bed and breakfest, which by luck none of the doors or entrances seemed to be boarded up.
  184. [2/3/2014 11:40:20 PM] Solid Snake: She points. "There!"
  185. [2/3/2014 11:40:29 PM] Solid Snake: "Le's check it out.."
  186. [2/3/2014 11:40:32 PM] Solid Snake: They enter.
  187. [2/3/2014 11:49:09 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Entering inside the building did they see what had once been a decorated living room to be an aging gray relic. Cobwebs cluttered the old piano near the wall. The skeletons of what appeared to be a normal sized pony hugging a smaller one could be seen near under a table. There was a kitchen with cabinents in it, with a box of Sugar Apple Bombs on the table.
  188. [2/3/2014 11:52:37 PM] Solid Snake: Aark looks about, as Darling walks over to the skeletons, staring at them. Who were they? Parent and child? Or did a terrified foal run into the closest embrace? Did the older pony care? Or were they just as scared..?
  189.  
  190. "Dun' look at that, Darlin.."
  191.  
  192. "..." She just stares at the two.
  193.  
  194. "Darlin!"
  195.  
  196. "Why not?"
  197.  
  198. "Ain't good for ya."
  199. [2/3/2014 11:53:41 PM] TheWanderingZebra: Searching around would reveal an old mattress that could be used to sleep on.
  200. [12:04:08 AM] Solid Snake: "I said stop lookin' at that shit!"
  201. [12:04:24 AM] Solid Snake: He takes the ceral, and adds it to inventory.
  202. [12:04:30 AM] Solid Snake: "Can we stay here tonight?"
  203. [12:05:03 AM] Solid Snake: "No.. We gott get outta this town."
  204.  
  205. "Papa~ It's nice here.."
  206.  
  207. "Maybe, let's take a better look around first.."
  208. [12:07:56 AM] TheWanderingZebra: None of them seemed to be able to find anything useful, all they find through scavenging are a Baseball Glove, a Dog bowl, a fork, an Iron, and a Harmonica.
  209. [12:09:16 AM] Solid Snake: Aark stares at the harmonica for a moment, and then picks it up, dusting it off. "Seems quiet. We can spend the night here."
  210. [12:09:35 AM] Solid Snake: "....I don't wanna anymore.."
  211. [12:15:16 AM] Solid Snake: "Why not??"
  212. [12:16:04 AM] Solid Snake: She looks at the bones. "This.. This is their grave. They rest here."
  213.  
  214. "Who?"
  215.  
  216. "Sky and Stillwater.."
  217. [12:16:16 AM] Solid Snake: "....What?"
  218.  
  219. "That's the name I gave them!"
  220. [12:17:05 AM] Solid Snake: "They ain't need a name! They're bones, been dead."
  221.  
  222. "Who....WHo do you think remembers them?"
  223.  
  224. "Nopony."
  225.  
  226. "Why not?"
  227.  
  228. "Nopony cares..They jus' bones.."
  229. [12:17:38 AM] Solid Snake: "Do you think anypony missed them?"
  230.  
  231. "No."
  232. [12:18:44 AM] Solid Snake: "What iiifffffffff.....I died? Would you miss me?"
  233.  
  234. He walks over to her, after pocketing the harmonica. "Darlin...What's gotten into you?"
  235.  
  236. "If I died, would you want to die too?"
  237.  
  238. "Yeah... I'd wanna die, real bad."
  239. [12:19:47 AM] Solid Snake: "Now le's go, Darlin'. So we ain't bones..." Aark leaves.
  240.  
  241. "...Bye Sky, Bye Stillwater.....I hope things are better where you are...." She follows her guardian.
  242. [12:36:15 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Trotting outside the Bed and Breakfast did they travel around in the city searching for it's exit, which took about 12 minutes of doing so, the vast brown earth of the Equestrian Wasteland shown about to them.
  243. [12:37:20 AM] Solid Snake: "It's dark.."
  244.  
  245. "There was a Princess tha' did that.."
  246.  
  247. "Really?"
  248.  
  249. "Yep.."
  250.  
  251. "Where is she?"
  252.  
  253. "Dunno. Dead I think."
  254. [12:37:41 AM] Solid Snake: "Oh.." She poddles behind.
  255. [12:46:31 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Wandering out into the vast wasteland could our duo eventually see an abandoned wooden shack that they might be able to spend the rest of the night in.
  256. [12:47:45 AM] Solid Snake: "This way, c'mon.."
  257.  
  258. "Are they any Princesses at all?"
  259. [12:47:49 AM] Solid Snake: "Dunno.."
  260. [12:50:43 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The shack seems to be locked, though the lock itself appeared rusted enough to perhaps try to buck off.
  261. [12:55:50 AM] Solid Snake: "Stan' back." He bucks the lock, HARD
  262. [12:59:20 AM] TheWanderingZebra: You don't just break the lock, you break down the ENTIRE DOOR! It collaps to the floor inside, leaving a short thump echoing.
  263. [1:01:36 AM] Solid Snake: "Woah!"
  264.  
  265. "heh, like that, huh?"
  266.  
  267. "You're st strong, Papa~!"
  268.  
  269. Aark is smug, and looks inside,
  270. [1:04:06 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The shack ironically appeared a far more comfier place to sleep in than the Bed and Breakfest that they were in before. A bedroll could be seen laying on the floor next to a turned off lamp.
  271. [1:04:29 AM] Solid Snake: "hungry?"
  272.  
  273. "Yeah!"
  274. [1:05:23 AM] Solid Snake: He opens a can of fruit, by grinding it against stone, and hands it to her.
  275.  
  276. "Fruit again??"
  277.  
  278. "Yeah."
  279. [1:05:38 AM] Solid Snake: "When can we have good food again?"
  280.  
  281. "Later."
  282. [1:12:32 AM] Solid Snake: She slowly eats her fruit, as Aark keeps watch.
  283. [1:12:51 AM] Solid Snake: Keeps watch over the ONLY thing in all the wasteland worth fighting for.
  284. [1:14:51 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Insects could be heard chirping as the length of night continues. The shack was sort of cold with the wind blowing in from, you know, the entrance that used to have a door cover it?
  285. [1:15:42 AM] Solid Snake: Better without a door, for now, as he can keep watch.
  286. [1:17:03 AM] Solid Snake: "Papa?"
  287.  
  288. "AARK."
  289.  
  290. "Aark?"
  291.  
  292. "Yes, Darlin?"
  293.  
  294. "Where does cans come from?"
  295.  
  296. "Ponies used to make 'em."
  297. [1:19:12 AM] Solid Snake: "Ya' see. Food would grow. Fruit, veggies, and ponies pick 'em. And put em in cans. Cans keep 'em nice 'n fresh so they don't spoil.. They put them in cans so we can eat them today....Maybe they knew a little filly would wanna eat.."
  298.  
  299. "...But food don't grow no more?"
  300.  
  301. "No."
  302.  
  303. "So they don't make cans?"
  304.  
  305. "No."
  306.  
  307. "...So food can run out?"
  308.  
  309. "Yeah."
  310. [1:20:20 AM] Solid Snake: "..We should...Give some cans we have....to hungry ponies.."
  311.  
  312. "No, those are for us.."
  313.  
  314. "...But, what if ponies are hungry?"
  315.  
  316. "They ain't us..."
  317. [1:20:36 AM] Solid Snake: She chews, thinking about this.
  318. [1:22:38 AM] Solid Snake: "Aark?"
  319.  
  320. "Darlin'"
  321.  
  322. "We're a team, right?"
  323.  
  324. "Right."
  325.  
  326. "We look out for each other, right?"
  327.  
  328. "Right."
  329.  
  330. "What about other ponies? Like the ones we're runnin' from?"
  331.  
  332. "They're the bad guys."
  333.  
  334. "Where are the good guys?"
  335.  
  336. "Dead."
  337.  
  338. "Are they're any good guys left?"
  339.  
  340. "Dunno. Maybe."
  341. [1:24:24 AM] Solid Snake: "Now lay down.. You need sleep.."
  342. [1:25:21 AM] Solid Snake: After awhile, Darlin is laying dow, with just her saddlebag as a blanket. Aark is outside, smoking a cigarette, and looking at the night sky.
  343. [1:26:42 AM] Solid Snake: "Dunno if you are there or not.. But....Punish me if'n ya will. Break my hooves, split m' tongue, tear m' eyes.....But see she's the BEST thing here, tartarus take it!"
  344. [1:27:21 AM] Solid Snake: "She's... All there is......in this burnt land.. The land that you forgot.." He looks at the moon, as if talking to it.
  345. [1:39:54 AM] Solid Snake: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  346. Aark is aleep, against the door that he stood up against the doorway. Sleeping VERY ligtly, she stirs, his eyes open to check on her.
  347. [1:40:02 AM] Solid Snake: He barely sleeps aymore.
  348. [1:45:46 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Both could hear the barking of a dog coming from the outside.
  349. [1:46:28 AM] Solid Snake: Aarks eyes FLASH open.
  350.  
  351.  
  352. "Mmmmmmnnnn~" Darlin' stirs, and curls up.
  353. [1:47:53 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "Yo! Think the mutt found something!" A mare's voice from a distance could be heard.
  354. [1:48:32 AM] Solid Snake: "Darlin!"
  355.  
  356. She stirs, and sits up, mane a mess. "Wh- what?"
  357. [1:48:54 AM] Solid Snake: "Fuck- We gotta go!"
  358.  
  359. "I'm hungry.."
  360.  
  361. "Now!"
  362. [1:49:13 AM] Solid Snake: He moves the door, and gestures her to run.
  363. [1:49:25 AM] Solid Snake: **How many hours of sleep did she get?**
  364. [1:50:04 AM] TheWanderingZebra: **About 5**
  365. [1:50:57 AM] Solid Snake: *Oh dear. She needs eight, can work on 6, Aark needs 4, can work on 2.))
  366. [1:51:19 AM] Solid Snake: She yawns, and gathers her things, scared, but barely awake.
  367. [1:54:20 AM] Solid Snake: She's gathered her things, but holds tight to her doll.
  368. [1:54:26 AM] Solid Snake: "C'mon!"
  369. [1:54:43 AM] Solid Snake: Aarks leaves the shack, and makes a run for it!
  370. [1:56:02 AM] TheWanderingZebra: !!!!
  371.  
  372. "There he is! Let's fuck him!" An excited unicorn mare said as she levitated a shovel spear into her mouth. Two other raiders and what appeared to be a wild dog were with her as well.
  373. [1:56:34 AM] Solid Snake: "DARLIN! RUN!!"
  374. [1:57:23 AM] Solid Snake: She makes a break for it, being warned of what Raiders do. Aark is the force between THEM, and HER.
  375. [1:57:50 AM] Solid Snake: "C'MON YA FAGGOT SONS OF BITCHES!! I'LL EAT YER HEARTS!"
  376. [2:02:39 AM] Solid Snake: Aark scrams to the persuers, trying to get their attention
  377. [2:05:30 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The third raider holding a lead pipe begins to rush towards Aark, though he seems to reserve the rest of his energy preparing to avoid getting hit by Aark.
  378. [2:06:38 AM] Solid Snake: Aark shows his teeth- "I'll fucking DIGEST you!" He leaps and gives a powerful buck to the Raider
  379. [2:13:04 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Only the first hit seems to reach the raider, who gasps in pain from the brass hoof that Aark was using.
  380. [2:16:09 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The wild dog rushes toward Aark, viciously opening it's fangs to bite Aark.
  381. [2:17:06 AM] Solid Snake: He shoots twice at it.
  382. [2:30:18 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The wild dog gives a vicious bite to Aark, it's fangs drawing out a bit blood from Aark as he tries to shoot the creature back, his first shot missing but his second landing on the wild mutt, which grasped for breath as it lay dying on the brown earth.
  383. [2:32:40 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The raider with the shovel spear in her mouth seemed to make a muffled laugh as he heads towards Aark, swinging her weapon at him with bloodlust.
  384. [2:34:52 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The sharped shovel appears to make a slash against one of Aark's shoulder, laughing maniacially.
  385. [2:36:06 AM | Edited 2:36:16 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The last raider appears to differ from his melee holding companions, aiming a single shotgun appearing to be in terrible condition, shooting at Aark.
  386. [2:37:06 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Thankfully, the shotgun is really in bad shape for the raider to even aim properly, the shotgun shell flying past Aark and hitting against the shack.
  387. [2:37:57 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The raider that Aark had made a strong buck against seems to be recovering a bit. In his TK does he attempt to hit Aark with his lead pipe.
  388. [2:38:53 AM] TheWanderingZebra: But Aark has strong motivation in his spirit as he was able to dodge the lead pipe.
  389. [2:49:12 AM] Solid Snake: "FUCK YOU!!" He shoots once, at the 2 nearest enimies.
  390. [2:55:16 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The shot towards the shovel raider misses. However, the lead pipe raider doesn't avoid the hit, the bullets penetrating through his hide as he begins to cough out blood, collasping onto the floor dead.
  391. [3:00:39 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "Cfufk!" The shovel raider yelled in her muffled voice, rage in her eyes as she attempting to hit the Ex-Raider that had once been her companion. That, and this was for borrowing her Rage without paying back!!!
  392. [3:01:21 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The shovel pretty much misses Aark, who fully prepared himself for an attack just as predictable as hers.
  393. [3:02:28 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The shotgun raider was too busy reloading his weapon to even attack Aark. Wondering what was the great idea in using a weapon you had to reload every time.
  394. [3:06:12 AM] Solid Snake: Aark shoves the shovel raider with both hooves, preffering not to kill her, he honestly didn't care if she was unleased on the wasteland, just...Not on Darlin'.
  395.  
  396. "Get outta here, Crossblade!!"
  397. [3:06:16 AM | Edited 3:06:26 AM] Solid Snake: "Jus's RUN!"
  398. [3:11:11 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The shotgun raider appears to aim at Aark, up is starting to tremble in fear as Crossblade's eyes widen at Aark. She spat out her weapon, trying to put a brave act by appearing enraged at Aark. "Fuck you! You used to be the greatest badass in the Wasteland. Nopony would be left alive without you fucking with them! Then that child came out of nowhere and you just threw it all away!"
  399. [3:13:35 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "What the fuck did that little whore did for you!?"
  400. [3:16:28 AM] Solid Snake: "Take it from me, Crossblade, Tell 'em I went soft, and that you killed me. Tell 'em you butchured her. Ju's..Get, yer a gorgeous killin' machine, an' I loved ya for it. But ya wont' listin ifn' I sit ya down, an 'splain things t' ya."
  401. [3:16:48 AM] Solid Snake: "Don't make me, have t' kill you. Coz I'll hate it.."
  402. [3:20:07 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "F-Fuck you! I'll kill you, and that little whore!" The shovel pony said, shaking in both a mix of fear and anger.
  403.  
  404. The shotgun raider didn't seem to be able to take it anymore, running away like the little pussy he was.
  405. [3:21:13 AM] Solid Snake: Aark grits his teeth, and tackles her- His old friend, and a ocassional lay.
  406. [3:28:53 AM] TheWanderingZebra: The tackle succeeds, catching Crossblade's breath out as Aark latches onto her neck, pinning her down as the mare attempted to fight back Aark, using all of her strength to push him back.
  407. [3:30:47 AM] Solid Snake: He presses on her windpipe with his forhhof. "DAMNIT- CROSSBLADE! I'LL SKIN YA IF'N I HAVE TO!!"
  408. [3:33:03 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Crossblade pushes herself physically, but the radiation of the land has severly weaken her body, along with Aark's superior build did the mare begin to loose concsiousness. "Aaaaarrr-" She grasped as foam began to form in her mouth.
  409. [3:33:58 AM] Solid Snake: He's catching his breath. "Stupid....Bitch..."
  410. [3:34:35 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Crossblade continues to try and resist, but the battle is obviously on Aark's side as the mare looses conciousness.
  411. [3:37:34 AM | Edited 3:38:18 AM] Solid Snake: He eases off. She's scum. In fact, she's a wildfire.. But...He's also nostalgic for the good days. He's glad he didn't have to kill her....She IS his type after all. He breaks her weapon, and turns, walking off.
  412. [3:42:01 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "My my. I have to admit, that was rather difficult fight you had just surived, what with you being biten, slashed, and nearly shot and what not." A voice from above could be heard.
  413. [3:42:20 AM] Solid Snake: !
  414. [3:42:26 AM] Solid Snake: Aark whips aroud.
  415. [3:43:24 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Behind him could he see a spritbot hovering down a bit, appearently the voice is coming from a speaker. "I'm pretty impressed by the aptitude for survival you just showed me today."
  416. [3:44:00 AM] Solid Snake: "..Fuck is this? You watchin me?!"
  417. [3:45:20 AM] TheWanderingZebra: A chuckle could be heard from the speaker. "Why aren't you captian obvious. Yes, I have been watching. I watched the entire fight once I heard the yells of bloodlust fill the air. I never would of imagined how lucky I am to see you in action."
  418. [3:47:26 AM] Solid Snake: "..."
  419. [3:48:41 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "I can already see you want me to get to the point. I have a job, and I want to hire you."
  420. [3:49:17 AM] Solid Snake: "Ain't for hire. Not no more. Ask them raiders."
  421. [3:49:29 AM] Solid Snake: He turns around, looking for Darlin.
  422. [3:49:55 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "Do you really think she's safe remaining in this land with you?" The speaker of the spritebot said to Aark.
  423. [3:51:28 AM] Solid Snake: "..."
  424. [3:51:40 AM] Solid Snake: He turns around, aiming his guns at it.
  425. [3:51:47 AM] Solid Snake: "Watch what you say-!"
  426. [3:52:40 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "Oh, you really want to do this? Destroy your only chance of giving that child a better life than the one she has living in this Wasteland?"
  427. [3:53:07 AM] Solid Snake: "...."
  428. [3:53:19 AM] Solid Snake: "Aark?" She pokes her head out.
  429. [3:53:27 AM] Solid Snake: "G- Get down....Darlin..."
  430. [3:55:27 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "You think that this will be the only time you must have your past come to bite you back? Your hooves have left a long bloody trail for those to follow. A trail that may lead to the death of that very child you seem to hold so dear. Do you honestly believe that there is a chance of her living with all those who pursue you?"
  431. [3:56:27 AM] Solid Snake: "get t' th' point!"
  432. [3:56:44 AM] Solid Snake: "Or this bloody trail may mow past ya!"
  433. [3:57:41 AM] TheWanderingZebra: Again, more chuckling. "Right. Zebrica. I have doubt that you've heard of the land of zebras before?"
  434. [3:58:22 AM] Solid Snake: He holds up his pack of Zebra Stripe Cigarettes.
  435. [3:58:51 AM] Solid Snake: (Non-Menthol.....CELESTIA helps the pony who gives him a menthol!)
  436. [4:00:12 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "Hmm, they did rather make good quality tobacco back where they lived. But yes, there is something I want that is in that country. I could go there myself but because of my ... condition, I have no choice but to rely on others for finding it for me."
  437. [4:00:46 AM] Solid Snake: "Ain't intrested. Find a Merc."
  438. [4:02:21 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "Really? The only salvation you can give to that child and you turn it down? Those raiders are going to continue to pursue you. That mare you spared will probably become more creative. Bring more raiders, bring better equipment, have a better plan ... yes, an animal is wild and untamable, but unpredicable, and clever in some ways."
  439. [4:05:02 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "Zebrica is perhaps the only safe haven that child has. Unless you are willing to give her up to somepony else, she will share the same fate as you will eventually face: death."
  440. [4:05:54 AM] Solid Snake: "...."
  441. [4:08:14 AM] TheWanderingZebra: "Well then, if damnation is the only road you'll stubornly cling to, then I might as well go /ask/ those raiders you spoke of. Perhaps they would be pleased to help me once I told them all about where you are. And don't even think shooting this spritebot will save you; I have many others under my control, and I can easily find you again if I must."
  442. [4:14:42 AM] Solid Snake: "Damnation is the road I'vebeen all the way down.. ."
  443. [4:15:10 AM] Solid Snake: "But you sayin.. You'll INFORM those Raiders of me, ifn' I decline?"
  444. [3:59:19 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Well, yes, that is what I will do if you decline. That, and you told me to go /ask/ the raiders in the first place."
  445. [4:02:48 PM] Solid Snake: "I've killed better Raiders fer doin' less.."
  446. [4:04:23 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "And the child? You really think that they won't take her into consideration the next time they find you?"
  447. [4:05:31 PM] Solid Snake: "Stop pretendin' you know us!"
  448. [4:09:12 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "What is there to pretend when I've seen this happen more than once before? Seeing a stallion's past come to haunt him. Seeing a mare and her child perish. But if you simply yelling at me is all I'm going to accomplish here, perhaps I might as well take my leave."
  449. [4:14:31 PM] Solid Snake: "Quit pretendin' yer gonna leave, too. What's yer proposition?"
  450.  
  451. By now, a curious Darling is approaching the hovering device.
  452. [4:17:06 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Hmm, strait to business? Very well. I am offering 50,000 caps if you and the rest of the group that I've cherry picked succeed in finding what I want in Zebrica."
  453. [4:17:25 PM] Solid Snake: "..Fuh....Fifty...Thousand??"
  454. [4:17:42 PM] Solid Snake: "That's.. a lot." Says Darling.
  455. [4:18:01 PM] Solid Snake: Aark takes off his hat to mull that over.
  456. [4:18:09 PM] Solid Snake: "...Yer lyin'.."
  457. [4:19:15 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Why would I? I'm being truly honest with you. 50,000 caps for each member of the expedition."
  458. [4:21:35 PM] Solid Snake: "Show me th' money."
  459. [4:22:10 PM] Solid Snake: "And THEN tell me how I'll know ya won't trick me...."
  460. [4:23:18 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "I would right now if I had wanted, but as you see before me, I'm merely speaking through this spritebot. But, if you take this job, I will tell you of my location, and give you the evidence you need to show that I am being honest."
  461. [4:24:05 PM] Solid Snake: "...." He's just quiet, as he lights a cigarette.
  462. [4:24:26 PM] Solid Snake: "I hate takin' a job with no insurance.."
  463. [4:24:53 PM] Solid Snake: "But 'yer leanin' me with little choice...."
  464. [4:26:28 PM] TheWanderingZebra: The spritebot speaker appears to chuckle once more. "Good. From the city that you had just left from the west there's an old beach resort that I own. Should be just a day to reach it."
  465. [4:27:06 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Once you and the rest of the expedition group have reached me will I give more detail into exactly what I want found."
  466. [4:27:07 PM] Solid Snake: "Hole' up.."
  467. [4:27:19 PM] Solid Snake: "I want details now.."
  468. [4:28:06 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "I'm afraid I'd rather save that for later once everyone is present in front of me. If there's anything I hate, it's repeating the same details over and over."
  469. [4:35:08 PM] Solid Snake: He glares. "I really dun like how this sounds...."
  470. [4:35:26 PM] Solid Snake: He looks at Darling.
  471.  
  472. "Mach, get hoofin.."
  473.  
  474. "Bu-"
  475.  
  476. "MARCH."
  477. [4:35:50 PM] Solid Snake: Darling droops, and walks off, as Aark looks at the spritebot.
  478. [4:36:45 PM] Solid Snake: "Look here, you fuckin' shyster....This goes south, 'er I find out this is some kinda ploy....I swear on my grave I'll skin ya t' make leather..."
  479. [4:39:27 PM] TheWanderingZebra: "Well, I'll take that as an agreement that you'll be taking my job offering. It was very nice to do business with you. Ta ta for now. And I hope we meet in person soon." He said as the spritebot began to take off, no longer controlled by whomever it was that spoke to Aark.
  480. [4:42:39 PM] Solid Snake: ".....Yeah, mee too....Fuckin' cowardly shyster.....fuckin' telloff t' raider.....Gonna, suck 'em off too?"
  481.  
  482.  
  483. At this point Aark is just mumbling under his breath, talking to himself.
  484. [4:43:16 PM] Solid Snake: He scuffs at the groundfor a moment, before he turns to see Darling walking off, and he trots to catch up with her.
  485. [4:48:30 PM] Solid Snake: "C'mon, Darlin'.. We gotta long walk, an' looks like somthin' big after that.."
  486.  
  487. "I'm coming with you!"
  488.  
  489. "Course ya are.. I can't be with you if ya aint.."
  490.  
  491. "...Hey Aark?"
  492.  
  493. "Hrm?"
  494.  
  495. "Ponies don't really go noplace when they die, right?"
  496.  
  497. "No. Dun think so."
  498.  
  499. "They just stay bones, right?"
  500.  
  501. "Jus' bones."
  502.  
  503. "...If they do, would you wait for me, if you died? Like, if Ponies DO go somewhere, would you wait... To find me?"
  504.  
  505. "I would.. So long as it takes."
  506.  
  507. "Even it it was a nicer place?"
  508.  
  509. "Yep."
  510.  
  511. "...And, what would you do, if I died?"
  512.  
  513. "I'd follow you there. We'd find out together."
  514. [4:49:18 PM] Solid Snake: Darlin' thinks about this. Death is little more than a word of loss to a child, but she follows her guardian, thinking of the skeletons she saw before.
  515. [4:51:17 PM] TheWanderingZebra: And so does Aark and Darlin journey towards where their fate may ultimatly changed. What they don't realize however, is that perhaps they might of been better off in the Equestrian Wasteland than the alien land they were about to set hoof on.
  516. [4:54:47 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Prologue Session B: Quest - The Last of Us Completed**
  517. [5:03:57 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Aark has gained the trait Savage Guardian**
  518. [5:06:52 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Whenever at low HP, or when the ponies that you care the most about are being threated in combat may you gain a +30 bonus to all combat skills and 15 additional AP for the duration of combat. However, once combat is done, perhaps because of old age, shall your character become unable to fuction fully for 7 hours, with a -30 to all skill rolls as well as being forced to spend 45 AP each turn if in combat again. Activation of this trait is under GM's approval.**
  519. [5:09:38 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **Darlin has gained the trait Open Heart**
  520. [5:12:20 PM] TheWanderingZebra: **You seem to bring the best out in everypony, no matter how bad their karma may be. Being loving and kind do you gain a +10 in Negociation to those whom have come to find a precious place in their heart. However, other characters who are far from redemption (-55 or less karma) will have you automatically crit fail a Negociation roll.**
