Shadows Over the Wastes: Chapter Two

Staring at the edge of an axe head, running a whetstone over it for the final touches of sharpening. I could see my reflection. Minty green coat, reflected in iron, with a messy, unkempt, far-too long, white mane. It hung in my face, hiding the brown freckles dotting my cheeks, and the fudge colored eyes that peered from between the strands. My irises were so dark they nearly blended in with my pupils, giving me a beady-eyed, lightless look. I almost always had a miserable expression painted across my face. That is, when blood wasn’t smeared across it first. My father is Cripps Crackle, the strongest of the Rusteaters. I’m his son, Chocolate Pennyroyal. Most just call me “Chocco”. It's stupid. It's childish. I hate it.

Cripps is single-hoofedly the strongest earth pony I know. Somehow he ended up getting with a unicorn. Well, not somehow. She didn’t have a choice. Which is why I ended up with the best of both worlds. Genetic lottery, I guess. Physical strength and magical prowess, lucky me. Unfortunately, that made me the de facto choice to take over his iron throne. Which I did not want. Even despite how feral my clan-mates were whenever we ransacked a town or exterminated a small village, simply for the fun of it; I can’t help but feel horrible. Some sympathy for the ponies I kill. The ponies I slaughter. At least, the ones undeserving. Other Clans? Steel Rangers? Hell, The Enclave? I reveled in it. And that’s what made it worse. I’m the best at what I do.

Today I was leading a scavenging group to an old robotics factory. Supposedly there were Flamescars taking hold there, using it to manufacture machines of mass-waste. Bots made to raze cities. We couldn’t know for sure, but we had to see if the rumors were true.

Slinging my axe over my back, I continued my lead, snorting. I could hear the rest of my intelligence-destitute clan-mates bantering behind me. I wore pre-war armor covered in rusted spikes, with large, extendable claws on the front plates of my forelegs. Looking back, I whistled through my teeth. “Shut it, maggots!” I snarled, using my leader tone. It almost immediately got them to quiet down, snapping their attention to me. “Now listen. If we flap our lips without a lick of consideration for how loud we might be, what do you think is going to happen? Hmm?” I watched a small male pegasus raise his hoof. “You don’t need to raise your fucking hoof, Longswipe.”

“Right, sorry. Uh… eh. They’ll hear us coming, and sick the bots on us.” He answers weakly. A coy front for his underlying sociopathy.

“Great fucking job, you can rub two pieces of brain meat together. Now you two.” I extended a foreleg, pointing at them, and baring my teeth. I had very pronounced canines, a trait common to wasteland ponies, but none quite as big as mine. “Quit your joking, or the only joke here will be how I’ll be using your intestine-strewn corpse to play tetherball! Am I understood?”

They backed up, nodding and rearing a hoof. High Hall spoke up, an earth pony sniper. “Y-yes! Of course!”

Letting out a hot puff through my nose, I turned back around, flicking my tail. “Good. Keep those lips shut, before I sew them closed with fucking barbed wire.” I continued making tracks, soon setting my eye on an old dusty facility, the outside surrounded by degraded old vehicles, and scrapped bots.

I felt a prick run up my spine. No outside defenses. That wasn’t right. Going to the front door, I withdrew my axe from my back, holding it up with bright green magic. My squad members backed me up, waiting for the door to be kicked in. High Hall sat with his semi-auto sniper at the ready, in a low position. “Ready for your signal.” He muttered, keeping his voice low.

Bucking the door, the chains and locks snap, the metal entryway careening open. However, the inside was dark, and empty. Starting to move in, I clicked on the flashlight attached to my chestpiece. “Lights on…voices down.” I whispered, motioning with a hoof. The rest followed me inside, and we made our way to the center of the warehouse. All of the bots were gone, completely cleaned out. No protectron or assaultron left to operate. All crates were emptied, all spare parts taken. It was completely destitute.

“Ah… if it isn’t the Redcolts.” A voice echoed from the catwalks. My whole squad and I flashed our lights up to the origin, finding a single stallion. He had a pale blue coat, and bright yellow eyes. A green, stylishly messy undercut mane, swept to one side. He had bits of metal stuck in his face, accentuating his sharp features. And he had a false leg. One of his back legs, the right one, from the mid-haunch down was replaced with a clawed contraption. “And the biggest boy of all of ‘em no less. Chocolate Pennyroyal��” He smiled, showing off gold and silver teeth mixed with natural yellow teeth. His smile was uneven, like it was mixed with another emotion.

“Do I know you, asshole?” I barked up to him, readying my axe to be thrown.

He chuckles, “No. But your daddy might.” He leans on the catwalk railing, continuing to smirk. “Oh where are my manners? The name’s Cold Crank. Most of my boys call me ‘Cranky’. Though…I consider myself anything but.”

“What’s your game, Cranky?” I asked, glancing at my squad members, before looking back at him.

He shrugged slightly, unfolding a wing from the darkness to reveal himself a pegasus. It held a cigarette between the feathers, which he placed on his lips. Then, raising a forehoof, a device strapped around it sparked, and created a small, controlled flame, lighting the end. “My ‘game’ is that I’m one of the best robotics engineers around. And your daddy pissed me off recently.” He takes a long drag, before puffing smoke out of his nose like a dragon. “I was gonna kill you as soon as you stepped hoof in here. But…I can tell you’re different.“

“Different?” I squinted.

“Mmhmm!” He nods, puffing again, “Even from your clan members. Even the weakest one there has this psychopathic look in his eyes, if you look deep enough. I’m good at reading ponies, and I can tell they all loooooove killing. Take pride in it. Joy, even. But you, Chocco? Not the same way they do.”

I felt my heart pound in my chest, baring my teeth. Even if it was true, the clan couldn’t know. Weakness, especially weakness like that, was justification for execution. There was no tolerance for empathy amongst the clan. It was kill or be killed. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh?” He snickers, “I don’t? Well then I won’t do the talking. These will.” Cranky stands on his hind legs, opening up his long, dark coat. Dozens of little glowing lenses all focused lights onto the walls, playing the same video all at the same time. A video from one of our recent raids. From the perspective of somepony that was in their home.

A father and daughter, sitting with their Assaultron. The pony-shaped robot pointing its guns at the door as screams can be heard outside. Then, my eyes peer in through their doorway. “INTRUDER-” The assaultron roars, but I put a hoof over my mouth, gesturing for it to be quiet. Its laser ceases its charging, and it looks over to its owners.

“Go out the back, their attention is drawn from that angle.” My voice echoed through their home. “Leave now, please. While you can.”

The video pauses, and Cranky snickers. “Those three came and found me. Told me about their… unlikely savior.”

High Hall aims his rifle at me, and I can hear the safety click. “What the fuck was that?! You saved those ponies? What the hell is wrong with you?!”

“Hall. Put your fucking gun down before I shove it so far up your ass, I give it a brand new burial wrap just in time for your fucking funeral.” I slowly turned my head, narrowing my eyes on him.

Longswipe shook his head. “This is… unbelievable. How…?”

“Cripps ain’t gonna be happy when he hears about this.” Springload, the other unicorn of the group adds, using his yellow magic to withdraw a chainsword. “Longswipe, make for camp, now. Leave. We’ll subdue him.”

“You’ll betray me?? Just like that?!” I shouted, backing into a combat position. “How dare you?!”

Longswipe made a break for the exit, Hall and Spring both training their weapons on me. However, as soon as he gets to the door, I watch as he stops in place. He looks around for a moment, then attempts to go through the open double doors. Something cuts through the air. A tail, or a whip, with a bladed edge, from seemingly nowhere in the darkness of the warehouse. And it cuts his head clean off. So cleanly, he stands stone still for a few seconds, before blood begins to spill down his neck, and he collapses. His head rolled away from his corpse.

My face twisted into an expression of horror. Springload glanced over at Hall, not daring to take his eyes off me for more than a second. “What happened?”

“I dunno! I wasn’t watching!” Hall snaps.

Cranky laughs, shaking his head. “Oh you poor, savage morons.” All three of us snap our attention to him. “Only Chocco saw it, because he was the only one who cared to pay attention to anything. We all stand in a room with a highly experimental robot from the war.” He smiles, “Something they liked to call the ‘Apex’, or the ‘Stealth Assaultron’. It has cloaking technology, thermal vision, in-built electromagnetic pulse ampules, blades sharp enough to cut through 4-hoof thick steel doors, and worst of all? High-tuned rotors. Meaning it can move faster than anypony can aim. I put a surprise in there. Only one of you is walking out of this room, and I already know who it is. Prove me right, Chocco.”

“Prove you right how?? What do you want from me?!” I snap, but I don’t get an answer. The roboticist raises his wings, and with a single flap, disappears in a gust of wind.

Hall keeps his gun trained on me, Springload keeps me from moving anywhere. “You ain’t going fuckin’ anywhere. Move and you’re dead.”

I shook my head, scowling disapprovingly at the two of them. “You two make me fucking sick. So quick to believe the words of a strange pony, just so you can kill me! Sounds like the actions of a jealous worm. Sounds like you simply wish to take my place, no matter what it costs you. Longswipe is already dead. Are you really gonna keep playing this stupid game? Or are you gonna grow up and realize we don’t have time for this?”

The sound of metal skittering against metal can be heard through the warehouse, moving over the three of us. “Springload?? What are we gonna do?” Hall asks, looking up at the rafters while he keeps the barrel angled on my head.

“We’ll kill him and then take our leave, Hall. Chill the fuck out.” His chainsword hovers just under my chin, but I don’t move an inch. I don’t flinch. I don’t shake. I don’t even look away. He revs the sword, smiling. “I always thought you were soft anyway.”

I hear the stealth assaultron clamber on the rafters above me. Then, shaking my head, I make my decision. “I always wanted to fucking kill you from the second I laid eyes on you, Springload.” I throw my axe using my magic, nailing Hall in the haunch. He screams and fires wildly up at the rafters, hitting the assaultron. As a consequence, it swoops down, nearly slashing through Springload, who ducks. His break of concentration is enough for me to take control of the chainsword. Feeling my magic overtake his, I jump forwards, grabbing and swinging the blade. It buries itself right in the thick of his neck, spraying blood everywhere as it begins to saw right through.

Tackling him as vitae spurts all over the ground, I roll onto my back, bucking him into the air. The assaultron comes back around, its tail-blade whirring through the air as it slices right through his abdomen like a hot knife through butter. As his two halves fall to the floor, Hall stands up on his hind legs, aiming his rifle at me. Reflexively, my magic grips the axe handle, and yanks. It’s stuck in his leg, half-cut through the bone. But it works in my favor. The jolt of pain offsets his aim, firing just past my head. My ears ring, and I roll up, springing off my back legs. The recovery causes me to leap forwards, knocking our shoulders together, and destroying his proper grip around the rifle. I flop against the floor, pulling the axe out of his leg. As soon as I do so, I hear a sickening snap, the weakened haunch snapping under his weight.

He screams, but uses his rifle to catch himself before he falls. As I rear the axe back for another attack, and he tries to raise the rifle for a moment, something stops him. The tail blade, right through his chest, lifting him into the air. He gasped, dropping the rifle as his rear legs kicked, spitting blood out of his mouth. Then, he was thrown aside, crumpled onto the ground like trash. I immediately scramble to my hooves, panting as I look around the room, feeling my heart slam against my chest. I could hear it moving around, its metal hooves clicking against the floor. Huffing nervously, I backed away slowly, before I heard it rush me. I raised my axe, ready to defend myself.

It appeared right in front of me, its faux snout nearly touching mine. The robot’s eyes darted around before they locked onto me, the tail blade pressed under my chin. But it did not attack. We stood there, locked in a self-defensive stalemate. Then, it spoke. “You do not try to attack me. Why?”

“Because I know I’d lose. I’m not stupid.” I lied.

“Valid answer.” Its tail blade retracts, and it spits something out from its chest. A small disc-like device. “Three days and the beacon will activate. Follow it.” Its voice suddenly shifts to Cranky’s. “Nice job, Chopper. Eheheheh.” Then, it sprints out of the warehouse in a blur, leaving me be. “Chopper”. I kinda liked that.

Making my way over to High Hall, I stare down at him as he slowly bleeds out on the floor. His leaking crimson gets on my hooves, leaving a slick puddle on the cold concrete. “Cripps�� is gonna kill you when he finds out.” He coughs, blood leaking from his nose and mouth.

“Not if I kill him first.” I retort, snorting.

He lets out a wheezy laugh. “You…don’t have the balls.”

Raising my right forehoof, the blades on my leg extend into three jagged claws, gleaming in the low light. “Don’t worry. You’ll find out once you meet him in the depths of hell. Don’t wait for me.” Then, I bring the claws down on his head, impaling them straight through his skull. He lets out one last pathetic gurgle as I strike his brain, freezing up, before falling limp. The claws retract, dripping with blood and brain matter. “You were never of any real use to me anyway.”

Do you have a rec list of fellow indie authors?

my friend @pegglefan69 is writing a really good wizard book that i'm currently beta reading. in the 1970s, an immortal wizard gets trapped in a tree by his evil apprentice and is found later by a goth in 2007. lots of hijinks, lots of gay, and if it sounds like it might be YA because there are wizards + hijinks: NO. absolutely not. you can read the first chapter (for free) on his patreon. he's a really really fabulous writer and i don't say that lightly or just because he's a friend. his narrative voice & skill with creating characters are fantastic.

my friend @katieaki is an incredible artist and author and has spent the last... few years(? a long time) building a really beautiful, queer post-apocalypse wasteland. she's working on a Choose Your Own Wasteland Story which posts live on twitter, and it's interactive, meaning you get to vote for what you think should happen at certain plot points. the current story is Pony Express, which you can read (for free) on her patreon.

like robin, her narrative voice is great, she has SUCH an incredible cast of characters (who all eventually get drawn) and it is really really sure to delight anyone looking for some fantastic queer literature and worldbuilding. she's written other things too, and i think they were up on a gumroad maybe... but i couldn't find that (katie if you see this can you let us know??)

i'm also beta reading for Ladz (i'm not sure if they're on tumblr) and they have two books up for sale right now on their itch--their latest is Ice Upon A Pier, a Lesbianoir fantasy novella about a prolific contract killer in a secondary world inspired by 70s/80s New York. I haven't read it, and i'm not sure what CW/TWs it might need, but i'd check out their stuff! the book i'm beta reading for them right now is really fun and they've got a lot of huge fun big ideas in the works.

if you want some queer gothic stuff, look into @velvettapeworm. he has a book out called So Sang the Riverman, "a story which tells of the primordial world’s destruction after the spirit of growth, Fervor, makes off with the heart in Decay’s grave." I've read a little bit of it and it's very good, but also "i've only read a little" means i can't give CW/TWs for it. he has some shorts out as well, which you can read here on his website. he's also a really fabulous artist.

tag game

twas tagged by the lovely @cyberstevie . i would say its very hard to choose between my horrid wet beast and my cowboy and my mad scientist and my stoner priest but. that would be a lie its the cowboy.

5 words to physically describe your OC: just a little birthday boy

Who inspired your OC?: OK So. Warbler was made in all of 15 minutes for a Firmament game and their original inspirations were:

*Emerson Codd, my dear friend @captpidge1 's MOTW character from the campagin another dear friend ran, the blog for which can be found @themonstrousarchives

*"Knife Church Shadow the Hedgehog", Knife Church in reference to Katie Aki Presents The Wasteland(everyone go read her various works but especially Pony Express)

*Sweeney Todd

in the year and some months there's been additional influences especially in the other campaign im playing him in such as

*any pronouns george costanza post

*Will Turner POTC

*the general concept of being a weenie

Give me a song to define your OC: Woe, over four hour long playlist be upon you. Technically it's two playlists for two games but i like it all in one spot. The split point is "Let's think about living".

If I met your OC on the street, how would they greet me?: Even at hir worst Billy is a pretty friendly guy but also probably just a nod of acknowledgement? He doesn't know you??

Can your OC be your best friend? Why?: This question vexes me i know not how to answer you

1 adjective and 1 noun to describe your OC: big weenie

i will tag @pegglefan69 @strawberrysalamanders @hagfishslime @katieaki @pesky-limey-expat though anyone else feel free to grab too!

#it speaks #billy #tag game

Hello! I was so excited to stumble upon your blog because a "queer gothic fiction set in the 1880s american west" is so, so up my alley. I've been out of the writeblr loop for a while--thanks to a certain video game we both love--so I was wondering if there are any western writeblrs you'd recommend I check out? (Or any writeblr really, I'm not picky).

Side Note: Your wip and cast of characters (Célie and Frances in particular) got me like 👀👀👀. Does your rag-tag outlaw gang have a name or are they not into that sort of thing?

hello!!!! I was so happy to have stumbled into your blog as well 💖 I bookmarked your blackwater series to cozy up and marathon through it soon ahhh

I have not been active in the writing side of tumblr and don't know any other western writeblrs ;-; I am a big fan of art-tumblr with darling cowboy ocs. many blogs have short blurbs and excerpts with their characters (found all in this tag). I also love interactive fiction (counts as writeblr? for me anyways!). here are western-themed ones I really adore: Larkin by KC, Wasteland Pony Express by katieaki, Shadows of the Gun by Emma, The Ballad of Devil's Creek by GC Betker

Celie and Frances;;; oh my I am trying not to have favourites but I do have a soft spot for a few of them including these two hehe. My outlaw gang has not a name yet hmm I have not found a good one for them yet :')

@larkin-if / @katieaki / @shadowsofthegun-if / @devilscreekballad

#pony mail #gaslightwestern #!! this is my sideblog I follow from @hwhy2.tumblr #it's me!!

Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday! Tell us about travel. Are there unique dangers on the road, special sights to see? How do people normally get around? How likely is the average person to travel? Is it particularly dangerous, or quite common?

Unique dangers, yes of course!

Bandits, lizard dogs if you’re up near the Wastelands, sites of twisted magic, other predators, natural disasters and exposure, stuff like that.

Special sights, probably! Ruins, natural beauty like rivers or mountains or the ocean, man made wonders like sprawling cities or beautiful temples.

People normally get around by foot, cart, or horse! If you’re practiced in gold/ritual magic, or you’re on good terms with someone who is, you may be able to teleport.

The average person isn’t likely to travel at all! Beyond farming folk making a trip to the next town to sell or trade, travel isn’t common at all. It’s dangerous, time consuming, people don’t have the skills or knowledge necessary, and often don’t have the time to take away from whatever work they do for a living.

The exception to this is the Riders, the Pony Express-ish mail delivery system.

I just sent this message through the Tumblr Help Center since @staff doesn’t care about actually reading comments on their posts. I refuse to go down without a fight.

I strongly urge staff to reconsider their new censorship route. I, and literally every single other user on this site, feel like this situation is not being competently handled. Your entire user platform is being punished because you do not want to properly handle the actual issues on this site. Allow me to explain in further detail below, because it seems that no one over at Tumblr headquarters seems to be able to grasp why this new censorship is wrong.

People have formed friendships, built communities, created safe spaces, and now you’re going to take all of that away from them because you think all sex and nudity is bad? Tumblr is not addressing the actual issues here. Instead, loyal users who have been on here for years are being punished. Instead of targeting the porn bots, nazis, pedophiles, rapists, etc, you are punishing innocent people who come on here for self-expression. Do you think any of us care when we have to scroll past a gif of people having sex? No, we don't. We care about the porn bots in the comments, or being followed by a blog with links like "Hook up with 18 year old girls here."

Listen, I've had to scroll past some furry and My Little Pony porn that I hope I never have to see again, but I, like most users, scroll past these posts and then are done with them. Who exactly are those things hurting anyway? At most, someone may be uncomfortable for a few seconds, but then they continuing scrolling and see other stuff and all is well again. I can say with 100% confidence that I am more bothered by the Republican blogs I see all the damn time making degrading posts about women than seeing someone's naked body. Posts degrading women = harmful. Human with a body ≠ harmful.

For anything and anyone to be successful, they must listen to feedback. This is crucial to their survival. None of us here are being listened to. We were ignored when we constantly complained about the porn bots, and then months later Tumblr said they didn't know about it. YOU WERE TOLD. YOU WERE TOLD 1000S OF TIMES. Then the situation got so bad where the app was taken off of the Apple store, then you were forced to stop ignoring the problem. If the situation had been addressed early on, you wouldn't be about to witness the downfall of your website, a downfall that in the end you will only have yourself to blame for. A majority of users are already planning on abandoning Tumblr once this goes into full-effect. Pretty much all of us have posted or reblogged something at some point that you now deem "inappropriate". And I must add that as a woman and as someone with an Art degree, I am completely appalled at the use of "female presenting nipples." People are not allowed to sexually express themselves but Tumblr staff is allowed to be sexist? You walk into the religious section of any museum and I can guarantee you that you will see Jesus's mother Mary's breasts and nipples. If in the 1500's this was perfectly okay, why in 2018 are we saying women's breasts are bad and inappropriate? We are supposed to be advancing, not taking steps back.

In Jeff's statement, he said that "Our actions are out of love and hope for our community." I think it's pretty obvious that this statement is untrue. If anyone over at Tumblr Headquarters actually cared about this community, they would not be going to these extremes. Once again, I urge you to do something else, something more productive, something that targets the actual issues instead of hurting every user on this site. Listen to what your users are saying, or witness your site become a desolate wasteland. The choice is yours.

companions react to meeting courier six for the first time?

Interesting react idea! Sorry it took so long, I saw you(?) sent it again :>

Funny enough, this does happen in my version of Fo4. Courier 6 crosses the country, essentially trying to reestablish the Pony Express.

Glad I’m not the only one who had this idea!

Ada:

Finds Courier Six quite impressive, and even more so once she hears their harrowing tales of woe out west. She’ll ask Sole if she can hang out occasionally with Courier Six, to learn some combat tips from them. They also have plenty of interesting stories to share, and Ada’s a sucker for those.

Cait:

Loves Courier Six, and would probably protect them with her life. Not that they needed her added protection, of course. The Courier is so badass, and even made it across the whole damn Wasteland! 3,000 miles of hell, and this dipwad succeeded? After being shot in the head? Fuck yeah, this is the kind of person Cait wants to know.

Cait also takes some combat lessons from Courier Six, as they know a few dirty fighting tricks even Cait doesn’t know.

Codsworth:

Treats Courier Six like any other guest of Sole. He’s polite, and enjoys hearing their various stories! Codsworth also tries to tell some jokes, as the Courier looks like they haven’t laughed in years…

Failing that, Fancy Lads Snackcakes are sure to bring a smile to their face!

Curie:

Is amazed that Courier Six took a bullet to the head and survived with minimal problems. She wants to hear all the details, to write up a medical study! Once the Courier has humored her and complied, Curie simply is awestruck by their presence. She’s also a bit scared, as the Courier is clearly quite capable in combat…

The Courier does their best to put her at ease, though, and is willing to answer any questions she has.

Danse:

Is impressed with Courier Six for all the daring things they’ve done. Danse thinks of them like another soldier, with their discipline and skills... Even if they’re technically a glorified mailman. He loves trading stories with the Courier, as he’s seen plenty of shit himself. Danse and the Courier do teach each other a few fighting skills, and overall they seem to become good friends.

Deacon:

He’s tempted to claim that Courier Six is full of shit for saying they traveled cross-country and survived a bullet to the head, among other things... but he knows what lying looks like, and the Courier’s face says it all. Deacon is blown away by all the cool stories the Courier has, and he’ll embellish his own experiences to seem on-par with the ‘badass mailman’. He would anyways, he just adds a bit more detail trying to compete.

Loves hanging out with the Courier— they go drinking together occasionally.

Dogmeat:

Another kind human that Sole introduces him to! He loves Courier Six, because they pet him loads. They also give him a toy, occasionally! Who wouldn’t love someone so nice?

Dogmeat nearly sprains his tail by wagging it too hard when he sees Courier Six again.

Hancock:

He’s wary at first, as this person seems a tad… off. They’re a cowboy yeehaw mailman, for fuck’s sake. And they look unstable.

Then again, who isn’t off and unstable in this world...?

Once Sole assures him that Courier Six isn’t gonna shank him while he’s asleep, Hancock warms up slightly to the Courier. They swap stories and usually can be seen downing ale and/or doing chems, talking about their respective experiences. It appears to be a tentative friendship, but they sure have the same zest for life!

Longfellow:

Is happy to finally meet the famous Courier Six— he’s heard a few tales about them, even all the way over in Far Harbor. He’s impressed by how the Courier made it across the whole damn Wasteland, and is glad to learn some combat & tracking tricks even he, wily old Longfellow, didn’t know. He shares some of his precious booze with them, and the two kindle a lasting friendship full of danger and excitement. And alcohol. Courier 6 definitely didn’t give Longfellow bottles of aged liquor from the southwest.

MacCready:

Impressed with how the Courier didn’t die after getting shot in the head— being a merc, he knows how headshots usually go. Living ain’t it.

He enjoys hearing their stories, and tells his own in return. MacCready also teaches the Courier some sniping tips, and they educate him in knife combat. It’s something he’s always wanted to get better at.

It’s a mutually beneficial friendship, one that they both enjoy very much.

Nick Valentine:

He’s skeptical of how much the Courier really survived, but slowly comes to believe them as he gets to know them. He tells the Courier many stories of his detective life, and in return, Courier Six tells him about their own past. Nick and the Courier enjoy an occasional smoke-and-chat, sharing information with each other. Nick is really curious about the lands out west, and the Courier wants to hear about the Commonwealth.

It’s the type of friendship where they don’t hang out often, but are best friends.

Piper:

Inundates Courier Six with questions— what’s New Vegas like, how’s life as a delivery person, are they single, how was the trip out, etc. The Courier is happy enough to tell stories, and Piper is quite impressed with how much shit the Courier has lived through. They have a few drinks together, and talks about their respective tales of danger!

It’s a pretty solid friendship, even if Piper does ask a million questions.

And occasionally she annoys the shit out of them. Oh well.

Porter Gage:

Thinks the Courier is the coolest mofo in the world. He’s impressed by their fighting skills, but offers to teach them some of his own special, dirty-fighting tactics. The Courier agrees, and teaches him some tricks he’d never seen before! Gage enjoys the occasional story from the Courier, but as he doesn’t like talking much, limits it to two per week.

It’s a tentative alliance, but the Courier grows on Gage quickly.

Preston:

He’s fascinated by Courier Six’s life. They survived so much, and then decided to up and travel over 3,000 miles? Pretty damn impressive! Preston looks up to the Courier, but the Courier also looks up to Preston. This is a (welcome) surprise for the Minuteman. They share stories, and help each other with their respective problems. Swapping advice often, they’re pretty much inseparable.

Preston and the Courier are fast friends— even if the Courier is a bit rough around the edges, they’re a great person and friend!

Strong:

Finds it strange how Courier Six wanted to travel the big Wasteland, actually did so, and didn’t die two hours in. He thinks the Courier is tough (for a human, at least). Strong finds some of the Courier’s more violent tales interesting, but for the most part, he doesn’t interact with them too much.

X6-88:

Isn’t sure how to feel about Courier Six at first. Yes, they claim to have survived all these crazy things, and supposedly made it all the way from New Vegas. But damn, the Courier sure knew their way around weapons! Even if it seems like some of the Courier’s stories are fake, X6-88 hears them out anyways. He shares his own tales, and the Courier lets him know that ‘they all sound fake too’. Annoyed, but not surprised, X6-88 calls a ‘truce’.

They don’t hang out much, but if they do, they tend to mod weapons and whatnot together.

FREE THE FUTURE Starlight Glimmer: I couldn't care less what "rights" you think you have online... If there is money anywhere in cyberspace, we will take a cut. Twilight Sparkle: Your plan won't work the way you think it will, just like how your "Link Tax" failed in Griffonstone and Yakyakistan! Starlight: A hundred years of tacked-on laws and fees and middlemares will not be denied! Your "free & open" internet caused the downfall of our analog business model! Now your precious internet will have to play by our rules! Twilight: Your Byzantine guilds and arcane entitlements ran out of purpose now that anypony can go directly to their audience. It belongs in history books, not headlines. If you won't listen to reason then I will show you. See for yourself where your "Creative Future" leads... Starlight: But what happened to the vibrant digital ecosystem we envisioned? What is this wasteland? Twilight: This is the future. Your future... They tried to frame their obsolescence as "Big Tech" vs "creators" but it was just a smokescreen distract ponies from Hollywood Accounting and Major Label Math... Which turned out to be the real "Value Gap" all along. All the while, they talked about "their slice" but fought any ways to bake a bigger pie, even as they took ever more of everpony else's No matter how big or small... Their censorship machines came to occupy the entire internet. Public domain, non-commercial, free open source, fair use, parody and commentary, educational use... Resistance was futile. All art and expression was to be assimilated and monetized. Or else wiped from the internet entirely. Their agents would come, hiding behind independent creators... but they were not what they claimed to be. Along with upload filters, they brought Shadow Regulation to every corner of the internet... Nightmare Moon: License All The Things! Nopony shall read, watch or listen to anything without paying us for every little thing! Twilight: The only winners of the Copyright Wars were the lawyers. ...While the Censorship Machines paved over the entire internet. Between "Blurred Lines" and "Moral Rights" between Permission Culture and Digital Restriction Measures (DRM), between rampant DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) abuse and censorship... Independent creators were driven out of their homes and forced back into indentured servitude under the Majors. Infinite copyright, decades of orphaned works, formed a black hole in the heart of literature, music, film, gaming, science... until there was nothing left to draw from. Starlight: But why? Why is your precious Public Domain so important? Tell me! Twilight: The Public Domain, the creative commons, is the wellspring of all art and culture. Everything builds upon the foundations of what came before. They tore down those foundations, and still couldn’t couldn't see past their old ways to understand the drought that withered their unsustainable ecosystem. The world has moved on, it's time to let go of the past and build new digital possibilities. There's still a chance to save it. The participatory culture we all know and love... Starlight: Perhaps you're right... but is there still time? Next week, the EU Parliament will be playing with fire, revisiting proposals that could burn down the free and open internet we all know and love. :( Article 11 (the Link Tax) was already attempted in Spain and Germany, and were qualified disasters, yet someone wants to see it befall an entire continent. Article 13, the "Censorship Machine" upload filters, would turn the entire internet into Youtube, with its rampant DMCA abuse and censorship, pre-censored submission process, and all of its issues with Public Domain works, remix culture, Fair Use (such as commentary/documentary, parody/satire or educational use), and even major corporations' own collateral damage against their own sites and affiliates. :| An entity as large as the European Union engaging in this level of corporate censorship will ripple across the rest of the cyberspace, diminishing everyone's freedom of speech and expression, which is why it needs to be stopped here and now, before the avalanche starts, and it becomes too late for the pebbles to vote. Before the big media corporations can reduce the unlimited tubeworks of the internet back to the one-way feeding tube of analog media.

I would insta delete if there was any mobile mmorpg like this images. The sport isn't even released but. That is a tender-launch with smaller organizations possibly to judge server stability and hundreds with a purpose to decide how many extra they'll want for the actual release. Humans want to calm the fuck down wanting new content already. It's a cellular game no longer surely supposed to be performed 24/7 like ninety nine% of us are doing. On the present day fee, we consume the content material we could catch up with the korean release in some months. You can attain a horse by finishing quests or shooting one within the wild by using the use of a rope and brown sugar. Each can be offered from the livestock merchants and the pearl save. You could seize horses in particular regions that you could without problems test to your map. Horses have two sorts of capabilities: everyday and bonding. Better tier horses could have more talents and abilties. A random talent could be given to your first horse. Abilties may be exchanged by using an item sold on the pearl save: "horse bonding change coupon" where as soon as you use it, a random bonding talent could be obtained by your horse. They also can attempt the black spirit mode, that is some other unique feature that enables them to advantage exp and rewards for up to a few hours at a time with out a community connection, even if the sport is absolutely turned off. To commemorate the 4.five million pre-registrations milestone, diverse in-game items will be supplied in appreciation for all of the adventurers' that pre-registered.

That is a super manner to switch a number of your prowess to your alts, that may then help you defeat specifically difficult story bosses which are more acceptable to their magnificence. Your minimap ought to help you with it. Look for a horse or a horseshoe icon on the map and proceed there. Once you spot a wild horse, proceed to walk slowly closer to it. In case you run, you will spook the pony and it'll run away. Whilst you get near sufficient, you have to get two alternatives, tame horse and feed sugar. With the intention to growth your chances of taming a horse, you ought to feed it sugar first. After feeding it several times, your chances of succeeding have to be significantly better. The same old rule is completing the sub-quests first then retain with the main quest and bdm is not any exception. There are other approaches to degree up which include using the black spirit mode which we're going to talk approximately later on. Aside from that, here are a few other methods as a way to stage up for you to also turn out to be a each day routine for you to maximize: the black spirit is an enigmatic figure within the global of bdm. It is related to you as a associate of kinds however with a few hidden agenda. That stated, from what i've visible, masses of what makes black wasteland on line cherished by means of many is present in Black Desert Mobile.
