Re: [FO:E] The Northern Wasteland of Equestria 1
[Hope We Don't Kick The Trucket]
Violetta took the last bit of potion, for what little good it did, then prepared to follow...
I am a mage! And a significant one, too. Does that mean...?
"Hold on a moment. I want to try something."
She concentrated on the essence inside her. Once again, some part of her remembered how to direct it, but this time, it was different. Instead of destructive, it felt helpful and soothing. She turned its effects onto herself.
Her injuries faded away a bit, and although they were still there, they were somewhat less troublesome. Some of her essence was gone, turned into the healing energy.
"Huh. That was more pleasant than last time. I think I'll save this for emergencies, though, until I know if my essence can recharge."
[Violetta increases Minor Heal by 1]
"Anyway, I think you've got the right idea. Keep a careful eye out, please." She followed at a safe distance, watching for potential ambushes or traps.Last edited by PurityIcekiller; 2012-10-19 at 07:51 PM.

Fleetwing's eyes widened as he watched her wounds just up and vanish. "Shoot...I gotta get you practicing more magic." he muttered to himself. Maybe traveling with a partner could have its upsides after all.

Freedom.
Is that even possible anymore? Up until recently Surprise had difficulty even separating herself from the systems of the Pink Voice Project. And then there was the injury... She has some vague recollection that they did an operation to help her stay alive beyond the support of her stasis pod. How had Pinkie described it? 'We've got a super duper special surprise for you Surprise! No peeking!'
Nopony really told her anything beyond that. Apparently she was supposed to get out of this pod some time after being hooked up to it. But then the bombs fell...
"I..." PV-4's voice sounds hesitant. Would she be able to stand being alone now that she's in her right mind again? Would she slip back into that machine-like thought process without anypony to talk to. "I don't know... I've been in here so long... The stasis pod might be all that's keeping me alive now. Or maybe the surgery was enough... either way I doubt you all need a crippled two hundred year old pegasus hobbling about and slowing you down."
A pause. And then added hesitantly.
"But... if you really want to try to get me out of here... My stasis pod is in a hidden lab in the Ministry's second sub-basement. The radiation down here has completely corrupted the defense turrets and robots. And they aren't the cute spritebot kind, either. There's a cache of weapons down on the first sub-basement, though. It's still sealed up tight and I can open it for you. I don't think any looters have found it yet. And you would probably need some heavier fire-power to break me loose."
That sounds ominous.
"You would be putting yourself at great risk for me... "
[Manehatten - Stable 29]
"What are manticores?" Vinyl asks curiously.
"Monsters from the mysterious world outside!" Corn says in a suitably spooky voice. "But don't you worry none. We can handle 'em."
And then questions about the way out!
"Oh sure! Why would I only make one way in and out? That would be a pretty plan for a secret hide out," Vinyl explains. Duh. Stupid grown ups. Don't they know anything? She trots over to a nearby panel on the wall and slides it aside revealing a spiraling set of rungs built into an old decrepit looking shaft. They appear to have been welded in place. Probably by the foalbot.Last edited by Rebonack; 2012-10-21 at 08:18 PM.

Sergeant Sprinkles chuckles. "Miss PV, as the highest ranking member of the Ministry of Morale, it is my duty to ensure your survival and safety. Leaving you to rot would be a gross failure to carry out my orders and responsibilities. Even if my programming allowed it, I couldn't forsake a superior officer, comrade, and friend," the old soldier gruffly observes. "Though, it'll take me a bit to get down there. I'm, uh, a bit dinged up."
His already damaged manipulator arm, which was previously dragging along limply, falls off in a small shower of sparks.
"Uh... That'll buff out."

Re: [FO:E] The Northern Wasteland of Equestria 1
[Looks Like We Really...Trucked Out There, Amiright?]
100% less landmines? That was a figure Fleetwing could deal with.
Sadly, going through the front isn't an option. Figures as much. Wasteland never did things the easy way. Door is locked? You've gotta go through five buildings and a small army just to get around it. As the two ponies crept around where the cabin used to be, he strained for a bit more altitude to travel along the top of the overturned truck. He figured most folks wouldn't think to booby-trap the roof. And that also gave him a prime vantage point to pick out any more mines and traps in Violetta's path.
[Perception] He'd continue carefully moving forward, trying to spot traps, and waving Violetta forward when he figured it was safe.Last edited by TheAmishPirate; 2012-10-19 at 04:28 PM.

Hey, it may look unstable, but it's surprisingly sturdy! And surprisingly large, given the circumstances of its existence!
"Well, go ahead and get settled if you like. There's some water that managed to pool near the back, but other than that its pretty cozy."
Swift Hooves stores her stuff in the back and lies down next to it, taking up a level of space that can only be described as "efficient." She's shockingly flexible, really. There should be sufficient room for the Alicorn to rest, though stretching might require her to put her hooves outside.

Re: [FO:E] The Northern Wasteland of Equestria 1
Gleamy just goes inside, looks around just in case, then enters after Xithr does, she curls up in front, and after Xithr's asleep, she just takes off her cloak and covers the zebra with it, if it looks like she would be too uncomfortable she would just back outside a bit or just put whatever hooves are in an "uncomfortable" position on herself.
After she's done, she would just start curling up more and laying down.
"....Thank you..."
She whispers before laying down herself and try to fall asleep, it may take a while, but then she would just be quietly sleeping.Extended sig

Fleetwing tensed up as she inspected the rear door, only relaxing slightly when she wasn't immediately blown to bits. "I suppose it is obvious, but then again, some fool went to the trouble of booby-trapping it too. Bits t'bridles there's more where those came from inside." Well, only one way to deal with this; time for him to maybe actually probably fire his gun for once. The Peashooter came out of its holster, and he kept it trained right dead-center on the door. After ducking behind some rubble for safety, of course. "Whenever you're ready, I got you covered." With what appeared to be a dinky little popgun, the sort you might find in a cracker jack box. Really inspires the ol' confidence, doesn't it?

She's in a position that would probably be a bit constraining for a pony. In fact, the way she's curled up actually kinda resembles a Zebra! That's crazy, though. In any case, she doesn't seem uncomfortable.

With some trepidation, Whadda clamps on the Pip-buck. It's not so much the dead mare as it is who the dead mare was, oh and the fact that these things aren't so easily removed from a living pony. Luckily the OS seems to be of the same family as power-barding so she'll likely be able to pick up on its functionality quickly.

Sprinkles opens a small slot on the back of his chassis, which he shovels the scrap metal into once Scoops gives it to him. The holes and dents in his armor begin to knit together and buff out. Most of the damage to his robotic body "heals," though a few dings and scratches remain.
He flexes his manipulator arm, which Fox Trot successfully helped to reattach. "Ah, much better."
He then leans in really close to Fox Trot, his pink visual sensors staring into the stallions eyes. "Two centuries of fightin and killin' zebras, traitors, and monsters. You don't wanna know where that arm has been, boy."
He then turns and hovers away, laughing as he leaves a traumatized pony in his wake.Last edited by Lycan 01; 2012-10-20 at 02:17 PM.

As soon as the PipBuck clicks home a recording begins to play! The voice from the machine should sound quite familiar.
"Oh wow this is going to be SO MUCH FUN! Hiya Whadda Scoops! I guess you finally found my PipBuck, right? Well DUH! Of course you did since you're listening to this right now!"
The mare's voice sounds eerily similar to PV-4's. Just a whole lot less synthesized. And also quite a bit older. Which is kind of ironic, all things considered.
"So I was just thinking to myself and I was thinking 'Hey Pinkie!' and then I thought 'What?' and THEN I thought 'I should totally leave a treasure map for Scoopy when she finds my PipBuck!' And I thought that would be the most superest fantastic idea ever! Way better than just a bunch of BOOOOORING audio-recordings and a few bottle caps in my desk. I mean really? Why would a pony from before the end of civilization collect bottle caps?"
Her voice suddenly becomes contemplative.
"Well... unless they collected bottlecaps. Some ponies do that, right? But that wouldn't be nearly as fun as collecting-"
Pinkie Pie rambles off topic for a good thirty seconds before.
"OH RIGHT! The treasure map! I was going to give everypony a cryptic hint about what the treasure is! *ahem* It'll all be sunshine and rainbows in the end, Lil..."
A pause.
"Whoops! Hehe! Wrong cryptic hint!"
There then comes a cough that sounds suspiciously like a party blower.
"The treasures of the past show the way to the brighter future. But first the bonds of friendship must be tested by water and steel."
Another pause.
"WELP! That's it! It was nice talking to everypony! Ooooh I almost forgot! You and your friends really need to stop being a bunch of grumpy-gusses, Scoopy! What's the fun of a party if you keep it all to yourself?"
And with that the recording ends as the elevator begins to descend.
After a few moments of awkward silence PV speaks up. "So... I, uh... I downloaded those locations onto the map."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Alright, that's creepy. The Pip-Buck downloaded her Ranger ID and information... oh boy. That means all the correct frequencies are being monitored.

How about radroaches, radscorpions, any number of things just lurking back there in the dark, waiting for a juicy pony snack to come along?" Of course, the other part of his brain reminded him she couldn't exactly climb up that crate alone, and either way, one of them was going to have to brave that truck alone.
