I tend to do a fair amount of digging around and research when writing. This time, it turned up a short film from the US Federal Civil Defense Administration, titled "Operation Cue". It's possibly the most "Fallout" real-life video I've seen. 50's public-service pieces were weird like that.
Anyway, new chapter!
Update! Aww, Yeah!!!
Surviving a mega spell. Hopefully that will be the extent of their worries for now.
That changeling's hung.
Huh, now I'm wondering what the Alicorn is doing.
Awww, no big kaboom?
Hmm… just Fallout weirdness? Surely there's no chance that a colony of inexplicable Ponytas could possibly be important later, right…?
Nice chapter, I look forward to seeing more.
Might be weird but for a brief moment I thought the Ghouls where the Burning Pony Ghouls from my fanfic, but since they kinda explode, no. I'm weird like that, oh well, still.
Been some time since I have seen a Fallout Equestria fic reach the featured box. Must mean its good.
I look forward to reading this.
They sound a bit like blanks from PH. Blank Ghouls? Nah, doesn't fit without changing how both ghouls and blanks work.
7345844
Yeah, I mean, they survived that, so what's the worst that could happen now?
7345960
What? Setting something up to have significance later in the story? Nahhhh, that doesn't sound like something I'd totally do...
7346255
I haven't read PH (And actually, know fairly little about it), so it's most likely any similarities are coincidences. The only "blanks" I've heard of before were from some horror game, and it sounded like they were essentially just zombies (I don't know for sure, having never played it).
I suppose it's not really spoilers to say that I thought up these guys when contemplating what kinds of ghouls might be created by different kinds of megaspells. Thoughts of glowing ghouls crossed over into a really silly thought from the show. Then I realized it could actually work, and rolled with it.
7346038 Just go deep in. It's not only an Fallout Equestria fic, but also a Changeling one. And the both trades blend pretty goddamn well with each other.
7346361
I said, for now. They deserve a little rest before what's likely to come.
Ship it, ship it now and hard. Ship the changeling with Sickle.
7346361 Blanks were basically soulless clones. Provide some genetic material during their... gestation and they're a perfect physical clone of the donor (although they have no soul or mind and will just stand still until they die) grow one without any genetic donor and they become an albino pony which again has no mind or soul and will (with 1 exception) just stand around until they die of hunger or thirst.
Or dose them with combat drugs and turn them into a beserker.
7346373 Hmm. Your right.
Extra looking forward.
7346600 Add the best leading characters team scince the orginal Fallout Equestria and ...well, Sickle is best.
7346662 Don't ruin it for me!
7346038 Yeah, Phoenix here does real good work... Without a Hive happens to be in my top three stories of all time.
7346789 Ill take that as a recommendation. Ill check it out as well when I got the time.
So, from what I can tell, a megaspell test that was set up, but never set off, and over time the warhead started leaking and produced flaming super-sayan-Twilight-esque superghouls, probably from some unlucky scavengers.
Fun.
Also, presumably this was a stolen/reploduced/reverse-engineered Zebra warhead, and they were studying it's effects and how to potentially defend against it, because from what I remember, the Equestrian Megaspells were... cleaner. In the "this and everything around it is now glass" (or maybe the Celestia 1 facility in Tenpony was unique)
Certainly are well preserved ghouls. Though they reminded me of Twilight when she burst into flames. Maybe it's a megaspells purely using fire based magic in it.
Dash. Not even once.
GET IN THE FRIDGE
So the nuke didn't actually go off though. I smell a future plot device.
7346972
That's exactly what I had in mind.
This involves going into the Kkat's blogs and headcanon, but I don't think it's the necromantic part that does the long term effect. It seems to be an effect of the megaspell framework. The explanation in her blogs (Which, mind, she says to treat as headcanon rather than official-canon) is that megaspells are so powerful that their casting casts off huge amounts of energy as magical radiation, and that radiation has a transformative effect on living things.
In the story itself, we only see the ghouls resulting from two megaspells, the balefire bombs and the pink cloud. They're both necromantic, so they produce changes along those lines, basically turning the individuals infected into undead. Since they are by far the most well-known products of this effect, the name for the results of this (Ghouls) is generally applied to anyone transformed by megaspell radiation.
Kkat also gave a possible "ghoulification" from the first healing megaspell. Those who were exposed to it were transformed by the magical radiation they absorbed, but its effects weren't immediately obvious. The basic impression I get is that the megaspell tried so hard to keep everyone alive that it kept them "there" even after death, in the form of ghosts.
Another example given of different "ghouls" considers the Crystal Heart as a megaspell, and crystal ponies being "ghouls" created by repeated exposure to its activation.
All of this is non-official, but I liked it enough to incorporate it into my story. So yes, in this story, pony megaspells would have some transformative effect on ponies. The result of that, however, may not resemble the "classic" necromantic ghouls.
7347020
That's so amusing to see lined up right next to your avatar!
Yeah, it made me think of that scene, too
7347166 Well that is very interesting. It certainly would explain the varying difference between these ghouls and the ones we seen created from zebra megaspells. I kind of figured I might be thinking to much with my post and shortened it. But it is interesting to think about and hypothesize how the effects of all those different megaspells would have on a living being. I actually wonder if the Megaspell called the Black Rose that Kkat mentioned in her blogged might have been produced from changling magic and those who survived the magical radiation were changed into Changelings?
I'm actually really surprised the megaspell is still there and running. it was obviously used once already. So I do wonder why it still seems to be running there and was it really a threat at that moment?
My god, dude! This series is amazing! XD I can already think up some of the antics Sickle'll have with the protagonist if she continues to be a hulking stallion. -wink wink, nudge nudge.- But all jokes aside, this work is easily becoming one of my more favored fics on this site. It borders my affection for Kkat's original FOE fic. Good job with the story and don't let it end anytime soon~
Aaaaaauuuugh! Ecellent chapter, really pulled me into their situation.....just one stickler....
TWILIGHT SPARKLER ALICORN IS TRYING TO BEFRIEND WHISPER AND SHE KEEPS BEING TARDY TO THE PARTY!!
......at least, I HOPE she wants to befriend her.
7346674 A name drop of a late character is ruining how? Go read it. NOW.
Never fails to deliver. Does anyone else smell alicorn intervention in the raider camp?
I'm very certain this is a typo.
7347839 Ill read it when I can. Lots to do, things to write and such!
7348171 I wish I could say the same abaut the writing part. I have ideas but can't get through to capture them in words.
7347765
*GASP* Tardy?!
7347954
Heh, yes, typo. A typo of an incorrect word, even. Should have been "wagon".
7348434 It matters about finding the inspiration to write. Its weird, but sometimes for me, its music.
7348518 Also....do you accept gift art?
cause I may or may not have totally drawn whisper and starlight.
7348823 I find it more as an expression problem.
7348937 Ahh. That kind of problem. Yeah, then I guess it would be hard.
7348943 I'm slowly working around it with lore building and filling evrything up with enviromental discriptions.
7349090 Yeah, its important to have the background and stuff like that planned out. Like for my first story I just dove in and despite the good ratings it got, it ended up being poorly written. Now, as I have a Fallout Equestria story being developed, i'm working on how everything is gonna play out. I already worked out how its gonna end, and I have the main conflict, the setting, factions, etc etc. But there is much more I need to figure out before I even think about publishing. And before I can publish it I have to finish like four stories I have out. And I cant work on the stories during the weekends as a Skyrim Mod Project requires my attention during that time. Not to mention I'm a General in a guild in ESO. So I have to attend to them when I got the time.
So much to do. So little time.
7349112 I have a few universes worth of lore planned out. Even how the laws of phisics go, magic as a scientyfic force, How the World came to be, how the planet evolved, alicorn mechanics, magic as a scientyfic force, etc.
I also have the development planned out: First the Prologue story to set up the stage, then the main thing abaut the conflict and the mission, then 6 background stories for each of the main characters [possibly more if public demand will be high enough], last I will do the genesis of the world. At the same time kick off the end of the world alternate scenario to jump into the future. Not Fallout Equestria but something of simlar nature. At least 2 milion words worth of lore, storyline and fluff.
7349145
You have this carefully planned out. And I applaud that. I used to just "wing it" with my early stories, if what I put in seemed like it would fit, then it stayed. If not, out the fucking window. But nowadays I have a new system. Plan everything out and jot it down. After a few days of writing go back in and change what needs to be changed. But what you got going on is deep, you creating your own lore and thinking heavily on how it should be done. Your dedicated. It sounds good too. Like really good. Hell, now i'm interested in the story you got going on. But if your having trouble putting it into words, then try thinking of the first line you want in the story. Write it down and think about it for a bit. Make it more grandeur. Like, I don't know. "When the world came to be, there nothing but fire. Flames in the dark. But then something else appeared. And with it, the universe. The world of which our ponies came to be on was created from an unknown source, and soon life sustaining supplements, such as water and grass, formed. Then soon after, ponies."
Its a first draft and I really just came up with it on the spot so it could really use some refining. But i'm just saying that the first lines in any story you could think of could get you started.
Let me know if you actually do get this story up, ill give it a read.
7349205 I am thinking of it beeing grandeur. I have the words. I even want them to be multi-interpreted and foreshadow future events.
You'll know when it's ready. I'll be pestering my watchers abaut it like there is no tomorrow.
I suppose it’s because of the mental connotation of those two words. Sure, ghoul sounds a bit nastier, but at least when you hear it your first thought isn’t "shoot it in the head" or "chop of its head". Ghouls already have enough problems with getting discriminated against because of their looks, doesn't need to add an name to that that most people associate with kill on sight.
7349243 Hah! Alright then. Ill check it out once its published.
7348866
My first reaction was to emulate a certain scene with a very enthusiastic Twilight, but to keep it short: YES!
I want to seeee!
7349305 Thanks!
Was that directed at me? I feel that was directed at me. I'm going to pretend that was directed at me and stop analyzing Sickle 'cuz Starlight's right.
7350851
Heh, nah, not directed at anyone. It's just Sickle being contrary and Starlight being snarky. So, the usual.
Thank you, Captain Celestia.
Why do I have the feeling the alicorn will get then and heal them of all injouries? Maybe she could become a 5th member in a way - always staying somewhere nearby?
Troublewhooves? Okay, that can end only in one way: a trip.
NOO I HAVE NOTHING TO READ NOW!!!!!
Time to go look for something to distract me...
7356367
Well, the good news is, the next chapter is most of the way done, so hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
YAAAAAASSS THANK YOU!!
7345722 And boy does your research show!
That was I realized what was going on.
Once, an instance. Twice, a coincidence. Three times is enemy action.
Since everyone else has been throwing around their "I ship its" at the slightest touch, I would like to say, "I wouldn't mind shipping this."
7347954 I now have this hilarious mental image of the alicorn swooping down and plowing into the raiders yelling,"This is an INTERVENTION!"
