Infested

PLOT: About 2 years ago, Equestria found itself faced with a threat which they had never seen before. A meteor had fallen, and while not doing much damage on impact, what was held within would forever change our world.

A green seed, about the size of a pony’s head, was found inside it. As soon as sunlight hit it, it began to grow. Large roots shot into the ground, and vines had reached out, killing any plants in the same area. It wasn’t long before the vines began grabbing at small insects, then animals, and then us.

The town that it had landed near was taken by surprise from the plant, and were soon attacked and wiped out. Those with firearms and weapons tried to stop the plant, but they only managed to slow it down.

While some of the townspeople were simply attacked, put into a catatonic state and used for an energy source, some of the townspeople were changed into something else entirely.

The plant would take some ponies, and plant a seed into the back of their head. They were then put under the seed’s control, used to attack other living beings.

Despite all of our research and sacrifice, the plant soon took over the surrounding cities, then the continent, then the world.

The only areas that weren’t infested are small islands, artificial landmasses, and large ships. Most survivors live on these, while a select few still try to tough it out on land.

You and a small group of other ponies are still in the ruins of Equestria, trying to find a way out. Your survival is in your hooves. You must defend yourself from the elements, from starvation, disease, infested ponies and animals, and sometimes, other survivors.

Your only hope is to try and head towards the coast. Maybe, just maybe, you can live the life you once did…

Ok, what is the youngest age you can be? Scarlet is gonna be about 21, and early into her medical training. She will know basics of medicine and treating minor wounds. Maybe as the game progresses she might get better. I dunno, just got to see what happens.

((Here's teh starting post :D RP IS STARTING))

 

It was a cool morning. The air smelt of iron, gunsmoke, and rot. Buildings serve as hosts to large parasitic plants, and the streets serve as the hunting grounds of the creatures unfortunate enough to be taken by these plants. Small tents dotted the sides of the streets, and abandoned carriages and other vehicles, like trucks and some rusty military artillery. 

 

Black Widow was trotting down this lonely road, digging through some of the detritus and trash in search of useful things, like food. She had depleted the last of her food yesterday, and she lost her gun to a bandit. All she had left now was a makeshift rucksack and a lighter. She looked around, hoping perhaps she would notice a dead survivor with a backpack on. In times like these, she didn't mind stealing a belonging from a corpse. She sighed, finding nothing in the pile of trash she just looked through. She took out her lighter and flicked it on, then off to make sure it still worked. She could probably light an infested pony on fire if push came to shove, but maybe burning them made it worse, she never knew.

Scarlet grimaced. "Nothing, nothing, nothing!" She whispered to herself in anger as she rummaged through the trash. She cancelled her search and hopped down from the stall she had got on to reach it. "Got hardly any food. And I bet no one here in this stinking town even is in their right mind!" She spat on the pebbled ground. Her eyes were emotionless, her mouth twitching in anger. She whispered to herself. "I better find a pony not cuckoo. Otherwise I might be..." She frowned. She went into a alley way and leaned against the wall. Quietly she got out her scalpel from a small pouch she had found. She cut into the trash can next to her wall two letters, 'SR' . She then closed her eyes and waited, listening.

Shading the sun from her eyes Nature looked at the near by town. It seemed like it could be housing some useful equipment or even food which she was out of. Spreading her wings she took flight and landed at the edge of the town to survey the area. No houses looked like an obvious spot for loot but anything can be useful if used right.

Black Widow looked to the sun. It was about midday, so she decided that she ought to find some shelter. She looked around the houses, and not too far from a sign that said "Welcome to Ponyville!" She found a house that wasn't too bloody or covered in plant matter. She checked the door. It was locked, she she used her magic to lift a small rock and smash the window. She listened. There wasn't any growling, so she climbed through the broken window and entered the house. Almost immediately after entering, she went into the kitchen to look for food. Even after searching through the cupboards and the fridge (a poor choice, the smell almost made her gag), she only found a bag of flour. She took it and stored it away in her rucksack, though. Maybe she'd meet somepony who could make her something with it... maybe.

Nature's ears stood up, a small smashing sound had come from across the street. Her first instinct was to head towards it, but nothing was right anymore, there was no telling what could have made that sound. Finally she decided to leave the source of the sound alone and head towards the house opposite her.

Black Widow heard a pony and her heart skipped a beat. She dropped to the floor and scooted towards the window.

 

'Please just don't come inside...' she thought silently, knowing that if whoever was out there was a bandit, she had nothing to defend herself with except for a lighter and a bag of flour, neither of which she could think of a way to use as a weapon against somepony who might be armed. She breathed silently and waited.

Black Widow, being tortured by waiting, acted in desperation, slowly peeking out the window, slightly above the cracked glass. She decided to have the bag of flour ready. Maybe if the bandit was close she could throw it at its face.

Lightning Chaser walked slowly along the path, headed towards Ponyville. She had nothing but a rucksack filled with some medical equipment and the small morsels of what little food she had. She dragged one hoof behind the other, having a large scratch in it. She did not have time to stop and heal it. She continued on, and she entered Ponyville quietly.

 

She decided she should go and find somepony else or food. She decided whichever came to her first, so she slunk around quietly, peering into buildings and examining plants. Crazy how a plant can do something like this, she thought. I wonder what is happening elsewhere? Back home even. I miss home. 

 

She trudged along until she heard a soft thud. It sounded like hooves falling ...

 

She called out, "Is anypony out there? Anypony?" She called in anticipation. She had been alone for a time she could not even remember, and she though it'd be nice to finally see real living ponies again. She called out again, "Anypony?" This time a bit quieter.

Black Widow slowly moved away from the window, trying to move down the street and away from the group. Then she heard a tapping sound from the house. She turned and looked for the source, but suddenly something green burst out of a window in the house she was just in.

 

The thing looked like a sickly-looking pony that was covered in weeds. It's eyes had a glossy look, almost serpentine. It moved rather jerkily, and it's breaths were sharp and laboured.

 

Black Widow was silent. She wasn't sure whether to try and draw it away from the other ponies or to cut her losses, let it kill them, and then wait till it left to see what they had. She stood still as she waited for the creature to decide for her.

Sakura's dagger cuts into the creature's neck, and it slashed it open. However, the monster still advanced toward them, growling and snapping. Black Widow, not wanting to see them die, grabbed the beast with her magic and held it back.

 

"Back of the head! Hit the seed in the back of the head!" She yelled hastily.

"Now! It's on the back of the head!" She yelled, pointing to the large seed sticking out of the back of the creature's head.

The creature stopped moving as the dagger struck the seed in the back of it's head. The foliage covering it wilted away, as did the body of the former pony. Black Widow caught her breath, looking around to make sure none of the other monsters in the town might've heard it.

 

"You okay?" She said, approaching the group.

Scarlet laughed crazily. "Your fine? Nothing is fine any more!" She spat on the ground. She shook her head, her curls whipping around with it. She then calmed down, her breathing rate slowing to normal. "I'm sorry." She sobbed a little. "It's just... This crazy world... Can't make no sense of it..." She sighed and wiped her tears away. "I'm Scarlet." She looked at all the other ponies, managing to make a unrealistic smile.

"Name's Black Widow. I'd say the beach would be a good spot, since the infested don't seem to stray there. But I do think we ought to find some more food and drink before it gets dark." Black Widow looked at the sun. It was a little after midday, and even if they took too long, the darkness of night would slow down the infested ponies. Perhaps it had something to do with the plants within them...

((Looks like fun! I'll recycle Short Circuit if that's alright.))

 

Name: Short Circuit

 

Gender: Male

 

Race: Earth Pony

 

Picture and/or Description: Lilac coat with an off white mane and tail, both of which are slightly unkempt. His cutie mark is a pair of sparking crossed wires over a pipe wrench. Short is neurotic, twitchy, and nervous.

 

Starting Item: A kit containing basic mechanical and electrical engineering tools

 

Talent: Engineering (both mechanical and electrical)

 

Short Bio: Nopony's quite sure if the neurotic Short Circuit was always the way he is or if a strong electrical shock had changed him. What everypony is sure of though is that the strange pony is a solid engineer. It's sometimes enough for others to overlook his eccentricities. When the world started to lose to the plant, Short made use of his knowledge of machinery to keep himself away from the plant.

"There's the water." Black Widow commented.

 

"I've seen infested creatures on the land, and in the air, but never in the ocean. I don't know why, but I think we'd be safe if we're close to the ocean." Black Widow thought aloud.

((I'm still trying to pin down a personality that I feel like works for Short. :/ ))

 

Short Circuit rummaged around the basement, muttering as he did so. "Alright, just because the entrance you took into here collapsed doesn't mean there's not another way out. There will be another way out, it'll be fine! Just fine!" He let out a laugh. It was slightly higher than most ponies and seemed to have a touch of hysteria.

 

After a few moments though, the earth pony found a service elevator once used to bring supplies into the grocery store basement he wandered into. He hammered on the button, but quickly learned that the power wasn't connected.

 

Cursing his luck, he tried to find the circuit breaker. Instead he stumbled across something almost as good: a gas generator. "Generator! Good! Hook it up to elevator switch box. Will provide enough electricity to operate. Problem though... Noise may draw infected... No choice. Will just have to cut out generator once I reach top, but how... Aha!"

 

Short quickly got to work. He dragged the generator over to the elevator and hooked the leads up to appropriate connections. The engineering pony popped open the access panel on the generator to make sure everything was in working order before he made the one modification he would need: the wiring connecting the alternator to the spark plugs needed to be filed down to ready his cutoff. Once done he pulled a spool of twine from his bags and tied it around the wiring.

 

Satisfied with his work, Short gripped the rip cord in his mouth and pulled. Immediately, the generator roared to life and lights on the elevator panel lit up. Short grabbed his the end of the twine and kept a careful hold on it as he stepped onto the elevator and pushed the "Up" button. The elevator rose until it reached the top of it's travel and doors swung open. Now, Short yanked on the piece of twine firmly, causing the alternator wiring to snap. Down in the basement, the generator quickly stopped.

 

Short allowed himself a smile. "Just as planned."

"I can try to find a safe place to stay on the beach. Maybe get a campfire going?" She thought, thinking that surely some dry driftwood would be on the shore.

Sakura got the sharpness done and carved in Black's name. Black Widow She wrote. Sakura also carved in lines that in a way looked like a Radio Wave intertwined in another. ((Use my other post spoiler as a reference as to what is looked like in a way.)) "If we find a substance like glue we can use that to attach a leaf onto it for better grip." She said while bringing the now spear to Black Widow and sitting.

Black Widow sighed, but before she could rest her head, an infested pony came from further down the beach. It had weeds tangled around a beach towel which seemed to be almost sewn into the poor pony's coat. It had a few nails sticking out of its side, but it didn't seem impeded by them.

 

"Infested. Further down the beach." Black Widow said quietly, trying not to alert the creature to their presence.

Short Circuit looked around frantically. Left. Right. Left. After a few moments, he was satisfied that none of the infected had heard him. He nodded and his muttering began to resume. "Now to beach. Maybe I'll find a boat. Fix it if I must and go out to sea. Try to find a ship of survivors..." Continuing his running commentary, Short made his way toward the beach.

Before Black Widow could stab the infested pony, it jerked its head, making her miss. It took a snap at her, but she quickly pulled her hoof away from it's teeth. She threw a punch, but missed. She quickly got up, using her magic to grab the spear, and made a precision jab into the seed in the monsters head. It soon wilted away into a grey dust, blowing away in the ocean breeze.

 

"Let's hope there aren't more." She sat back down, wiping the green blood from her spear.
