Trixie sighed as she twisted and turned in her blanket trying to go to sleep. She had changed her ways yes, but ever since Ponyville she had a hard time attracting an audience of any kind, she still blamed Twilight a little. Although she acknowledged the fact that it was mainly her fault for trying to go up against Princess Celestia's student, even if she didn't know she was at first. The main fact was she was running low on bits and she just ate what she had left, a simple hay sandwich.
She could sell what she owned in her caravan but it wasn't all that much. A vanity mirror tucked away by the door on a simple desk, barstool easily able to slide under said table and let her open the door. A floor-to-ceiling dresser on the other side of the door containing four of her capes, one hat and a few spare blankets for when it really got cold in the winter. That took up half the caravan she called home and in the other half were her cooler, for food, her bed which she currently was in now, and a chest that usually contained her valuables. But with her current bit situation all that was inside of it was maybe twenty bits and that was from somepony that had thought her to be a beggar and zoomed off before she could protest.
Giving up on trying to sleep she instead stared at her brown ceiling and lazily traced a circle on it with her magic, a light magenta. The closest city she hadn't exactly been welcome, they didn't run her out of town but they did refuse to acknowledge her existence. There were more questionable ways of earning bits but she didn't want to do anything like that, she liked to think she had more self-respect than that. Kicking the covers off herself she hopped onto the floor and walked over to her vanity, her hooves clicking on the ground beneath her.
She pulled the stool out and sat on it and stared at herself. A dull azure coat from not having a shower in two or three days, matted in spots where she had tried to sleep and a pale, blue for her mane hairs sticking up in random spots. She wasn't sleeping anytime soon so might as well do her best to keep up her appearance. Opening one of the drawers she pulled out a brush and started to straighten out her mane, opting to do it with her hooves instead of her magic.
Five stifled yawns later she moved onto her coat, switching to her magic to reach her more problematic areas and folded her hoofs under her chin, enjoying the pull of the brush as much as she could. Ten yawns later her coat was more or less cleaned, as much as one could clean without actually taking a shower.
Then with a scream she fell out of her stool as her entire caravan tilted. Her head smashed into floor and her back fell into the dresser as she listed every known curse she could, before yanking a frying pan out of one of the dresser's drawers. Yes she kept a frying pan in her dresser for emergencies like this. Standing back up she yanked the door open and peered out into the cold night air, seeing nothing but the trees and bushes she had parked herself next to.
Cautiously she crawled down her steps and onto the dirt road below, and pulled herself up onto her hind legs, doing her best to be one with her caravan's wall. Choosing the left side from where her caravan was being tilted she slowly peeked around the corner to see a ball trying to be a fifth wheel. From what she could see from its balled up form it was wearing a white shirt and blue pants, the clothes covering everything but its blonde mane on top of its head. The weirdest thing about it was the fact it was smaller than her in its balled up form, but yet just by trying to warm itself by the wall of her caravan it was literally tilting the whole thing.
Her pan lowered as she noticed it shivering and heard the distinct clacking of teeth against teeth, the thing was freezing despite it just being below comfortable for her. "U-uh hello there?"
Its head snapped up giving her a clear view of its hairless face. Young pale-white skin made up its entire face, two round ears were on either side of its head, while its mouth was pinched tightly and quivered. The nose was completely separate from its mouth instead located on a different outcropping of skin right above its mouth. The most striking feature were the eyes. Slightly above and separated by the nose were two purple eyes, little flecks of red floating around in them, not even half the size of its mouth but yet open wide as is stared at her in... fear?
One second it was staring at her in its balled up seating position, the next, with an explosion of dust it was hiding on the other side of her caravan and was staring at her. She jumped at the dust but frowned when it hid behind her caravan. "Come on now, you don't need to be afraid."
In response to her words it just slid further behind her caravan, barely keeping its eyes within view. It was just a scared child wasn't it? Shaking her head she looked back inside her home and opened the dresser, pulling out one of her spare capes, put back her frying pan and floated the spare cape to her mouth, it was scared of her as it was, no telling how this thing would react. Not everypony knew what magic was and some were scared easily by it as evidenced by the Diamond Dogs that came to her last show. They nearly killed her before they relaxed and watched the show.
So with her cape in mouth she walked halfway to where it hid and dropped her cape on the ground, before retreating back to her side and watched the strange creature. Its eyes darted from the cape to her then back to the cape, then it slowly came out of its corner and crawled low to the ground, its eyes never leaving her as it approached the cape. When it reached the cape it snatched it and immediately started to wrap itself in the cape, the fear in its eyes disappearing.
Instead of retreating back to its earlier position it sat there and stared at her, its shivering dying down slightly but still there. Giving it a smile she grabbed another blanket and dropped it on the ground next to her, kicking it forward slightly with her hoof. The small creature looked at the blanket and crawled forward slightly, its hand, the same pale white as its face, hovering hesitantly before the blanket. She pushed the blanket forward again and it snatched the blanket just like it did with her cape and covered itself with the blanket, now double the size of its previous size. Yet it was still shaking. "Are you still cold?"
It cocked its head at her sideways from its cocoon of blankets, not saying anything. She sighed and grabbed yet another blanket, now completely out of spares. "Youff better hofe zis warms you uf." She muttered through the blanket as she dangled it back and forth in front of herself trying to entice the creature. This time it approached her with only slight hesitation and grabbed the blanket out of her mouth giving her a slight smile before returning to its position against her cart, this time not tilting it.
Well at least she fixed that problem and helped a child... or whatever it was. She shook her head and returned to her cart, musing to herself silently about what it was. Trotting over to her bed and pulling the covers over her head she tried again to sleep... at least until she heard her door open. Her head snapped up as the thing shut the door and curled up against the door and immediately closed its eyes and started to sleep. She narrowed her eyes and opened the dresser again, pulling the frying pan out and placed it next to her pillow, in easy reach. She had a creature she'd never seen before sleeping in her wagon. Just great.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. A Pariah story. A Pariah story! Crossed over with MLP! EEEEEEEEEEEE!
The grammar's a bit clunky here and there, and there are times where you could stand to separate a sentence into two or more, or just add in commas and other related punctuation. If you'd like, I'd be happy to help edit this.
Pariah in Equestria!
Interesting, very, very interesting indeed. A fimfic starring Pariah, and with the great and powerful Trixie to boot!
I'll certainly be watching this one, if only to see your characterization of Pariah. Oh, and the impending jaw-drop of pretty much every pony in Equestria when they realize what exactly Pariah is. That will definitely be a fun read.
what is the name of the crossover movie/book and who is it by? It looks like it might be nice to read.
5847177 This is a crossover with the Prototype video game series.
5846582 Why not, know I'm decent with ideas, not so much with executions.
5846582
5846653
5847449 also I decided since I have not seen much love for Pariah and since he looks arguably 4-8 he'd be great for Equestria.... minus the plague problems.
5847177 Love it's a game called Prototype, that's less story and more EXPLOSIONS!!! ZOMBIES!!!! NAZI PEOPLE!!!! Not to say there's no story but it's a bit lacking.
5847830
yeah, I looked up the prototype wiki. You know you have problems when the main character of a series bio 'personality traits' are described as "distant, predatory, super-intelligent, terrifying, vengeful, blank, and searching." and the executive producer describes the character as "one of the most powerful video game characters ever created". Like Batman and Superman combined with an emo.
The Edge and the Angst are amazingly intense just from reading the wiki.
"They think they're in control, but they have no idea what I'm capable of."
―Alex before traveling to his apartment. (also every player of this game)
5847847 Well.... He's a living virus that can shapeshift his body into anything he wants, control his density, absorb memories from anybody he kills and assumes their forms, survived a nuke and the entire military and the infected hordes all attacking him.
In game I would destroy entire military bases for fun and let the hordes start to swarm over everybody... Then I'd go destroy the hordes and the hives they come from. In like...20-30 minutes. For fun.
5847868
exactly, Emo Rambo-Jesus-Chuck Norris thinks Humanity sucks and angsts about it while killing lots of people.
The very definition of a solid well thought-out character.
Hopefully Pariah is written better in this story than Mercer in the games.
5847883 yeah prototype 2 is the game all the fans hate. Especially if he wanted to kill off the planet he could just, literally, stroll down a fucking street and infect everybody.
*Takes off glasses*
An actual Pariah in Equestria story? Consider me interested.
5847892
Step 1. Go to a population center
Step 2. Spread the virus.
Step 3. Watch people panic and spread it even further.
Step 4. Leave in disguise as military quarantine the place.
Step 5. Repeat until everywhere is infected.
5847892
It could have been done thoughtfully, with actual emotion and insight into the nature of what makes someone human/ morality but they turned it unto another 'my blood can turn into knives and kill everyone!' kind of game, but I feel we have drifted off topic.
Might be a nice story if it doesn't turn into 'rawr, I are Pariah, I are kill poniez' or 'you are instantly redeemed due to killing the super-demon that was threatening Equestria for no apparent reason'. Not many take the idea of someone actually trying to fit in/deal with internal conflict/etc and instead put in an 'Unexplained Big Bad Guy (tm)' to vindicate the character proving they are not an evil, though the act of killing someone,
5847938 'Tis but a slice of life, I don't see how monsters are slice of life
5847940
Don't worry then, I'm just on a rant about the downfall of society as we know it and how badly written video games are to blame.
5846582 but yeah go ahead and edit first chapter and pm me, I'll post it thrn.
Very interesting chapter you have here, now lets see where it goes. Also, sex tag on a Teen story? What should I expect to appear for it to need a sex tag?
5850485 At best slightly implied things, one such thing has already been implied but you've seemed to miss it. At worst somebody makes a sex joke or innuendo or etc.
5850513 In that case you should remove the sex tag and write that in the long description of the story. A lot people(including myself) may get the wrong idea from seeing the sex tag on a story. If it doesn't include sex, or something very close to it, you are basically shooting yourself in the foot by doing so, as many may not read it for seeing a sex tag. I gave it a shot because I had that in mind from reading so many stories with an unneeded sex tag.
5850584 Errr I have yet to see a story need to do that in description unless it was rated M, for T it's for like innuendos and shtuffs. Since ya'know.... if it has actual sex it's rated M, and not allowed to be T.
ehhh who is Pariah i've played prototype 1 and 2 how come i never heard of him?
did i miss something in the game?
5935035 Offspring of Elizabeth Greene? Natural version of Mercer? Head of Gentek talked about how bad it would be if the two ever came face to face?
5936820 this from the web of intrigue or something?
because i never completed it
5936873 Campaign cutscenes man, he was kinda prominent and memorable
5936903 eh i must have missed it i haven't played it in a few years
5936917 He's the last boss, man
5942956 NOOOOO he is not. That is a common misconception.
5942956 The last boss was the Parasite injected into Mercer, which he then injected into Greene. Her body immediately rejected the cure and mutated it into the Supreme Hunter.
Pariah has never been in any game physically.
Can you please continue this story? On that note, can you please write more of/complete one of your stories before starting a completely new one? This story has so much potential!
5945869 Continue on this? But of course. Stop making new things? Nah.
5936820
Second game screwed it all up by killing off an OOC Mercer?
How could I forget? *grumble*
You know how the government is always trying to create a more controllable virus they did the same thing to Mercer They tried to create a controllable version of Mercer he was already controllable all you have to be to be is to be morally correct Not a d******** and to give him resources a place to live and food that's what the original Mercer need it he need people to talk to Is to keep him sane Television Video games books He won't necessarily eat people once he gained control over his powers He would only do it if he was absolutely forced to like someone on a abandoned island where there's only like 5 people dropped off from a cruise eventually if nothing works and if you can't keep the morality up they're going to eat each Other same thing happened with Mercer Give me small medium sized animals for his powers to calm down the original mercer He wouldn't Eat self aware sentient people He's a scientist but hes not a mad soon as he figured s*** out he wanted to bring a sample for proof so he can get people on his side to take down the evil organization But said organization found him and shot him up the virus infected him and screwed with his find and he has to eat people from the lab he worked ato remember his past but for all we know those people's memories could have been tampered with so when he ate them it caused a glitch to occur He was dealing with that glitch when he was forced to be nuked They grabbed a sample and they started experimenting with it trying to clone Mercer but this time under their control all they got was cartoonishly evil Mercer Instead of the component that was designed or so so they thought to control Mercer it mutated so he control others Is the clone The original Mercer is still evolving adapting he doesn't just have bone weapons or anything now He degraded iron using the iron in his blood At the same time he can shift his form so he has flight form drill form Is aqua form so forth and so on And he has to combat ready versions of those forms Eventually Mercer will probably turn to a one man pokemon world Is mixed with the Monster Hunter world Is mixed with Resident Evil AKa The monsters are actually dangerous.
Sorry about autocorrect I got I'm tired I can't fix it but you generally get what I'm trying to tell you.
