Fallout Equestria: Sleepless in Seaddle (Closing, IC)

Zing picked up his sandwich and took a big bite out of it. "Mmmmm! This is really good!" He turned to the waiter, "Thank you!" He then turned back to Jast. "So, what are you going to get Kindle?"

Jast chuckled to himself as he took his bite. It was good; really good. "It's a surprise..." he told Zing.

"I wanna knooooow!!" He grins, and takes several more bites from his sandwich. "When am I gonna get it, Jast?" He took a sip of the drink he probably had, then looked to Zing. "Maybe we should try to guess!"

[The Flutterlands]

Pitch turned to Frost. He recognized her from the other day. He made a weal smile at her. "I saw you the other day... freezing those zebras, because you blamed them for the bombings... well; that was me.... they died for my crimes..." Pitch shook his head. "Shade will get what's coming to him in good time... I just want to mourn for the time being... but, I swear, I'll make that bastard pay!... Thanks... Thank you, all."

Frost scraped some ice off her hooves, "That was an unfortunate day indeed. Mourn all you like, the sorrow won't replace your soul mate." She said coldly.

"Well; perhaps, I'll feel better once Shade is dead... where could I find Opium?! If I could find Opium, then no doubt I'll find Shade!" His face went from a weak smile, to a psychotic grin. "I'm going to gut him like a fish, and hang him by his own entrails... not before I make him wish that he was never born! He will beg for mercy, but, shall receive none!I will avenge Sunflower; Shade will die! I won't rest till he's at my mercy! I will strip him of his flesh, and the world shall be silenced by his screams!!" He turned to Whisper. "Any ideas where I may find the bastards?"

Zing picked up his sandwich and took a big bite out of it. "Mmmmm! This is really good!" He turned to the waiter, "Thank you!" He then turned back to Jast. "So, what are you going to get Kindle?"

Jast chuckled to himself as he took his bite. It was good; really good. "It's a surprise..." he told Zing.

"I wanna knooooow!!" He grins, and takes several more bites from his sandwich. "When am I gonna get it, Jast?" He took a sip of the drink he probably had, then looked to Zing. "Maybe we should try to guess!"

Zing shrugged. "No idea..." he said, before taking another bite out of his sandwich.

'You'll know when the time comes." Jast winked at Kindle, "All in good time."

I will strip him of his flesh, and the world shall be silenced by his screams!!" He turned to Whisper. "Any ideas where I may find the bastards?"

Frost shrugged passively, "Yeah, I know where he is." She said.
'Well aren't you the little backstabber now?' She thought to herself.
'I got my money, he's a monster. We know it.' She thought back.
'They will kill him.'
'So? And they want Shade, they might not kill Opium.'
'Sure they won't.'
'Why should we care anyway?'
'But what about Blessing?! He is her Father you know? She loves him.'
'Why should I care. She isn't my problem anymore. She never was.' Frost thought coldly to herself.

"Tell me!" shrieked Pitch, "Take me to them; both me and Whisper, so we may carve their faces off and hang them on a wall!" Pitch's sadness turned back into anger; a vengeful anger; a fiery anger, this time though, the change is permanent! "We must know if we are to kill the two of them!"

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

"Tell me!" shrieked Pitch, "Take me to them; both me and Whisper, so we may carve their faces off and hang them on a wall!" Pitch's sadness turned back into anger; a vengeful anger; a fiery anger, this time though, the change is permanent! "We must know if we are to kill two of them!"

Frost stared at Pitch, "Nice to see that your remorse is as fickle as your emotions and Whispers loyalties. You would be orphaning an innocent foal . . . Again. Which aligns with your self-accusations of being a monster." She said gloomily. "So what will it be? Shade's death, Opiums head and Blessings father? Or remorse? Your choice." She said flatly. "It's your conscience. Not mine."

"It's your conscience. Not mine."

"Yeah... well;... I will kill Shade... what Whisper does to Opium and Blessing is not my problem; that's for him to decide! But, Shade will die by my hooves and that what matters; and If I am a monster, then I'll be a monster of justice!"

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

"Yeah... well;... I will kill Shade... what Whisper does to Opium and Blessing is not my problem; that's for him to decide!But, Shade will die by my hooves and that what matters; and If I am a monster, then I'll be a monster of justice!"

Frost sighed internally, knowing she would regret this at some point. "I'll take you there when Whisper is conscious again. I was just their before I came back to Maregaton. I remember the way. . ." She could feel a part of her glaring at her with accusatory thoughts. "Don't hurt Blessing. She isn't caught up in any of this. She's just in an unfortunate position." She said with a slight pang of guilt.

Her mind threw up a small flash back, running out the window of the Prancing Pony. "I want my daddy." Blessing said while she buried her face in Frost's icy mane. . .
'Wow. . . Your cold . . .' Her other side thought. She stayed silent, agreeing.

"Thanks." said Pitch, calming down a bit, "I'll promise to tell Whisper not to kill or hurt Blessing... she is innocent... but, surely Shade and Opium will pay..." He looked to Whisper, he didn't notice that he was unconscious... "I should pay for my own crimes, too... but, how?" He thought about it for a bit. Then he thought of something.

Pitch trotted towards Ghost, looked at him for awhile, before kneeling before him. "Ghost... I offer myself to you in eternal servitude... I owe you a debt... and I must be punished for my crimes; this is my punishment. Please don't say no... I deserve this... and I want to tell you that..." he began to tear up again. "I am so... sorry... for everything..." he sobbed, "I'm sorry... so sorry."

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

"Thanks." said Pitch, calming down a bit, "I'll promise to tell Whisper not to kill or hurt Blessing... she is innocent... but, surely Shade and Opium will pay..." He looked to Whisper, he didn't notice that he was unconscious... "I should pay for my own crimes, too... but, how?" He thought about it for a bit. Then he thought of something.

"I am so... sorry... for everything..." he sobbed, "I'm sorry... so sorry."

Frost watched Pitch with a scowl and sighed irritably, "This is the arsonist that murdered dozens of ponies? Pathetic! Why do you offer yourself into servitude? What makes you think that will wipe the red from your ledger? You are guilty, I am guilty, I just added more guilt to my ledger. Nopony is innocent, there are merely varying levels of guilt. Pull yourself together and stop apologizing and bawling for the love of Luna!" She said, a slightly angered edge to her voice.

"This is my choice!" scowled Pitch without turning to Frost, "Do not judge me... besides I owe a debt; I want this... if I am to come to terms with myself... this is the way to start..."

PItch looked up to Ghost, waiting for his answer...

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

"This is my choice!" scowled Pitch without turning to Frost, "Do not judge me... besides I owe a debt; I want this... if I am to come to terms with myself... this is the way to start..."

"A debt you can't repay. Not with eternity even." She said, almost fed up. "Your choice is wasteful." She said

[The Flutterlands]

"This is my choice!" scowled Pitch without turning to Frost, "Do not judge me... besides I owe a debt; I want this... if I am to come to terms with myself... this is the way to start..."

"A debt you can't repay. Not with eternity even." She said, almost fed up. "Your choice is wasteful." She said

"Then what must I do with my life? keep on blowing shit up? I'll be living by a code soon. Trit and Ghost helped me so much already, I just want to do something in return; give something in return..." Pitch said bluntly. He just could give Ghost all his caps, and weapons, but, what else could be greater, than his own life?

"Then what must I do with my life? keep on blowing shit up? I'll be living by a code soon. Trit and Ghost helped me so much already, I just want to do something in return; give something in return..." Pitch said bluntly. He has nothing, he could give Ghost all his caps, and weapons, but, what else could be greater, than his own life.

Trit stared at the ghoul, unable to believe her eyes or ears. He had done something she hadn't thought possible in such a short time. He had changed. He had made himself... Better. "Pitch, you don't need to give anything back. I help you out of the kindness of my heart, I don't want anything back, truly. I want you to change, to be better, and you've already made a huge step in that direction. I will keep you on this path, if you let me, but I wish nothing in return."

"Thank you... sorry about calling you a 'bitch', and ruining your cloak... sexy." sniffed Pitch, turning to Trit with a smile, "but, I have made my decision... it's up to Ghost, now, to decide my fate... I know he won't kill me..."

He turned back to Ghost, and awaited his answer...

"If I knew what you were supposed to do I wouldn't be making a living as a thief under contract for Opium. Now would I?!" She said finally snapping. "I've also murdered a lot of ponies! I've also lost a lot! I know what your going through, and you know something?" She said with a sneer. "Bawling my eyes out didn't change anything! I'm still an ice witch, I'm still a freak, I'm still a reject. Now your getting help to avenge your loss and you want to sit here teary eyed pledging yourself into slavery?! Why? Why would you spend your life like that? Why would you try to fit in?" She said fighting back tears.
"The world hates ponies like you and me. We get the hate, the prejudice and ponies like Opium are the ones that fuel it! Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something with your fucking life!" She yelled before realising what she had just said. Her expression became confused, "I . . . I . . . Don't know what that was. I'm sorry." She said and looked down.

He turned back to Ghost, and awaited his answer...

"It's okay, it was the heat of battle. It means nothing, really. Do you really mean it when you call me sexy, though?" She looked at him, her interest piqued by his statement, and her own question.

[The Republic of Greater Appalachia]

"Yo soy un hombre de honor ad integridad, voy a ayudar a aquellos que necesitan ayuda, yo estaré para aquellos que no puedo, voy a luchar por aquellos que no pueden hacerlo. Voy a ser un héroe para aquellos que necesitan una. Yo ofrezco una segunda oportunidad a los que los necesitan, porque yo soy un guerrero del honor y intregity. That is the oath that I live by, and it tells me to give mercy upon those who ask for it. Pitch wants forgiveness, he has it, if he feels that servitude is his way of repaying his debts, I cannot make him do anything different. Frost, I spent years offering second chances. I could have easily killed both Pitch and Whisper if I wanted to, I didn't. Because that would violate the oath I took many years ago. I will not, I repeat not become the monster I swore to destroy." Ghost said in fustration to Frosts remark.

"Did you just say you worked for Opium?" Ghost then realised that Frost must have done something with Poet and her crew, "What did you do to Poet and ber crew when I left!?" He shouted, he was about to lunge at her but held himself back.

"Slightly more than what they did to the little filly they kidnapped." Frost replied, wiping away flash frozen drops of tears from her cheeks. "They are fine, a little cold but fine. Prize will have needed a scarf afterwards but otherwise nothing." She said guiltily, blinking back more tears.

"Do you know, what that pony has done? He's ruined hundreds of lives and sent thousands to their graves, he's tried to kill me several times, he killed my squad. He sent Whisper to kill me. You should have never said yes to his job offer. He will take advantage of anypony he can, I care less about his daughter, she was just drug into something bigger than she will ever know, and she's innocent. Opium is the only one, that I want to see get wiped off the world." Ghost replied.

"Thank you... Ghost." said Pitch. He stood up, wiped his face with his hoof, and looked around. He looked back at Ghost "Ghost, with your permission, I would like return to Silver Moon. I have things there to pick up, bills to pay, and I must inform the innkeeper about Sunflower... Do I have your permission, Ghost? I must not leave without it..."

Edit:

"Thank you... sorry about calling you a 'bitch', and ruining your cloak... sexy." sniffed Pitch, turning to Trit with a smile, "but, I have made my decision... it's up to Ghost, now, to decide my fate... I know he won't kill me..."

He turned back to Ghost, and awaited his answer...

"It's okay, it was the heat of battle. It means nothing, really. Do you really mean it when you call me sexy, though?" She looked at him, her interest piqued by his statement, and her own question.

"Sort of... though... your kindness do sort of remind me of... Sunflower..." Pitch replied,turning to Trit.

Opium is the only one, that I want to see get wiped off the world." Ghost replied.

"What do you want me to do then? Take the money back to him and steal Blessing back?" She said in frustration. "You weren't there Ghost! You didn't here the way she spoke about her father. You didn't carry her home on your back being burnt every step of the way. Opium is a murderer and a monster. I know. But I'm sorry if 10 000 caps is a little tempting." She said angrily.

[The Republic of Greater Appalachia]

"Yes Pitch, you are free to go the inn, do what you must. In case you run into Black Hawk, take this note, it should keep him off your back." Ghost said as be wrote the note and handed it to him.

"I saw her, I was in the same room as her. Did I say I wanted Opium dead, no, I would be content if he was in a prison. Somewhere where he couldn't do anymore damage." Ghost replied, calmly.

[Morlodania]

"Sort of... though... your kindness do sort of remind me of... Sunflower..." Pitch replied,turning to Trit.

Trit looked at Pitch, a mixture of shock and delight on her face. "I am always kind except when those I love are in danger. That I'm a bitch." She smiles at Pitch warmly, trying to be as comforting as possible, and considered giving him a hug because he was kind enough to tell her the truth, as well as give her a compliment at the same time.

"You saw her and you did nothing about it." She said frustrated and sighed, holding her hoof to her head. "This wasn't a good idea. I should probably go." She said and started for the door.
