  1. >999.M41
  2. >Cadian 8th Regiment "The Lord Castellan's Own"
  3. >Warp storms overhead.
  4. >Nothing new.
  5. >But when there were Sorcerors around, that was definitely a problem.
  6. >The cacaphony of battle.
  7. >Crackling lasgun fire and the smell of offal and ozone.
  8. >Heart thundering like the engine of the Chimera.
  9. >Such was life as a Guardsman, Anon.
  10. >But today was a different day.
  11. >Battle was the same. Day in, day out.
  12. >But here was a decidedly different battle.
  13. >"ANON! WHAT KIND OF FROSTING DO YOU WANT ON YOUR CAKE!"
  14. >The weary soldier snapped out of his daydream.
  15. >These horses.
  16. >This world.
  17. >He had to have been killed in that explosion of warp energy.
  18. >But he heard no choir.
  19. >No shimmer of light.
  20. >No welcoming embrace from Him, immortal on the Golden Throne.
  21. >Instead he woke up on the shore of a river, soaked and half drowned.
  22. "I don't like frosting."
  23. >The curly mane of the pink baker pony eased out from the side of the door.
  24. >"What."
  25. >Her giant blue plate sized eyes twitched with a look of shock and horror.
  26. "...Raspberry."
  27. >"Coming right up!"
  28. >He recounted his appearance here.
  29. >The blast hit the Chimera and detonated it rather viciously.
  30. >Half the squad had been vaporized or ventilated by shrapnel.
  31. >Those that managed to get out were dragged away by Daemons or skewered on their blades.
  32. >He was fortunate enough to have is las pistol when the Sorcerer had found him.
  33. >"What a delightful little morsel. I wonder what you'll taste like."
  34. >It might have been a flashlight, but it still hurts when you shine it in their eyes.
  35. >It was enough to fumble his concentration and blast his prey with raw Warp.
  36. >Instead of being torn into ribbons and cast adrift in the Immaterium...
  37. >"And now, you're MINE!"
  38. >WHUMP
  39. >Again, he snapped out of it.
  40. >A large cake hit the table in front of him, joined with some plates.
  41. >A lemon cake with raspberry frosting.
  42. >And a Pinkie Pie staring down at it ravenously.
  43. >"One of my favorite combinations!
  44. >Guardsman Anon gave a sigh, lifting a fork full of cake.
  45. >Diabetes was mysteriously absent from this world.
  46. >Let's hope that stays that way.
  47. >And perhaps find some better food than cake.
  48. >There was only so much left in his ration packs.
  49. >His gear had been taken when he was rescued by the young ponies who lost a ball.
  50. >Which was probably for the better.
  51. >Throne forgive him for not blindly thrusting himself into combat with the warped xeno-equine creatures.
  52. >Water in the lungs tends to hamper one's combat abilities.
  53. >And they did save him, after all.
  54. >The 'Princess of Friendship' welcomed the soldier with open... Wings, I guess.
  55. >And unfortunately for him, took charge of his care. When she wanted to.
  56. >Lately she had been studying anything and everything he had brought with him.
  57. >The batteries in his lasgun had long since died, even before that purple horse started playing with his stuff.
  58. >At least she wouldn't shoot herself on accident.
  59. >Not that he really had a care for these strange horses, but it wouldn't exactly be a good situation.
  60. >And she would question you endlessly.
  61. >The ruling... Princesses would convene to decide on your fate not long after your arrival.
  62. >Judging you to be of little threat without your weapons, it was suggested to learn and teach one another.
  63. >A fat lot that would do.
  64. >Pink horse shoved the fork into the man's mouth, painfully hitting the tongue.
  65. >"How is it?!"
  66. "...Good, like all the other ones."
  67. >"You always say that! What do you REALLY think about it?"
  68. "I think I'm being spoiled or tempted. I can't decide which."
  69. >It had to be some kind of lost paradise world to be so lush and fruitful.
  70. >Maybe in time he would be rescued.
  71. >He wasn't holding his breath.
  72. >"What's that mean? You're kinda confusing."
  73. "Nothing. It's really good. I'm not used to getting things like this to eat."
  74. >Pinkie looked at him curiously.
  75. >"What stuff do you normally eat? Maybe if I make something like that it'll remind you of home!"
  76. "Normally I'm eating Munitorium Rations. I'd rather eat your food, to be honest."
  77. >"Do you not like those ..Myoon-it-or-eeum rations?"
  78. "Munitorium. No. They taste like crackers made from hay."
  79. >"That sounds delicious!"
  80. >...Horses eat hay. Of course they'd like that.
