A story (or hopefully a set of stories) set in the wold of combined Frostpunk and My Little Pony! See the adventures of ponies that adapted to the Equestrian Frostland, because they might not turn the wheels of history, but they will defenetely (hope
Usually at this hour, ponies would gather in a massive column that would be heading to their workplaces, but now I only saw a few, some of them dragging their belongings on sledges behind them, running to the nearby cities probably. If I remember correctly, the nearest one was at least a few days of travel away.
Okay, that's better than I expected. I mean there are other cities, and it's only days, not weeks of travel. But hey, they did call it "Generator No. 243" earlier, so there is actually a high chance there are several more generators out there. Also, it's good to see there is no one forcing them to stay. Or at least not yet...
“So leave me alone, I’m going to work!” Yeah! That's a good excuse! “I can’t just leave my job, somebody has to dig the coal.” I said firmly
He is not wrong. Unless, at this very moment, he gets replaced by a newly finished automaton...
I sighed. At least I didn't do anything stupid yet.
That was a close one...
“Look!” He nodded towards where the last lamp hung on the wall of the tunnel. I just shrugged and murmured something.under my nose. “Don’t ya fuckin dare mine any further! There's nopony to build another roof support!”
Okay, that does sound dangerous...
I bit my companion's clothes on his back, and began dragging him towards the lift. I didn’t even know his name.
Didn't he bring a cart to carry the coal? maybe it can be repurposed to carry ponies. Also, wasn't his name Firm Keep?
“I don’t fucking know, I’m just a stupid coal miner!”
I just noticed something: If you put enough pressure on coal, it will eventually be turned into diamond! Maybe that's a hidden reference between his job and his sisters name?
He sighed, “Don’t worry, they’ll give me a prosthesis anyway. I’ll be like new. And it’s not like you came out of it without a scratch either.” “What are you talking about?” I rose on the bed. He just tapped his left ear. Oh no. I launched my hoof to my head, to check for my ear, but it wasn’t there! At least, not entirely. I wanted to start swearing, or kick something, or maybe– or– I just hid my face in my hooves, and took a long, deep breath. Could be worse. Definitely could be worse. Still a damn shame
Maybe you can get a prosthesis, too?
“Look at the good side,” He said with his mouth full, “maybe it won’t impress any frostlander, but ponies who live here, the city mares. Oh they like scars like that. ll will be yours in no time, im telling you!” he chuckled
Heh. You can only hope... (And what do you mean with "ll will be yours in no time"?)
I opened the doors to my family house, also with chalk signs written on them. On the inside there was a little bowl next to the door on the inside of the house, with a couple slices of apple in it. So much effort to convince the spirits to piss off, and that one glued himself to me anyway.
Now imagine the trouble you would be in if there were no spirit protection...
“There will be twenty hour shifts in the mines. Don’t go to work tomorrow, I'll talk to Sweet Conduct as soon as I can. There should be a lot of vacancies because lots of ponies fled to nearby villages and cities, and I helped her daughter get to the scouts and she still owes me for that.”
Not long until there isn't a single miner left... Still, good to hear there are nearby villages and cities, meaning Equestria still has a chance to survive.
“Well the paper work's all here! I’m going to sigh in right now!” I growled, and punched my chest pocket in which i had the paper, ”You're gonna see for yourself!”
Go for it! (And it's probably supposed to be "sign in", not "sigh in".)
Good chapter! I enjoyed reading it and look forwards to see what happens next.
You think there will be a meeting/confrontation between him and Diamond later, maybe even in the middle of the mission?
11845699 Damn i didn't expect anybody to put in so much work into commenting a random aah story. I appricieate And yeah there's a lot of typos, for which i apologise. Ill try to get that fixed for the next chapter. And about him meeting his sister, WEll you'll just have to stick around to find out. I got my ass back to writing after i was busy with other stuff so it shouldnt take too long that to happen
