“You know you're going to love it, Sky.” The mare in question had supplemented her typically nonexistent wardrobe with a long black scarf with a red streak, along with a pair of flying goggles. Moriah had a pair too, taken from the many gifts Equestria had given, though she also had a leather jacket and pants, both tailored for her by the pony who called herself "Cloudy Skies".“I'm not sure I will...” Sky advanced to where the aircraft sat, nudging the open door with one hoof. “These just look…-

September 19, 2015Dear Journal,BREAKTHROUGH!Yes, I did take the time to write that in capital letters, despite the fact I haven’t had hands for half a year and it took extra time. No, I didn’t rip through the page with my pen this time, ‘cuz I’ve become such an amazing BAWSS.You might ask what the breakthrough is, because that would be a very sensible thing to wonder about. It has to do with the radio, because we knew that was going to be how we met people. We have ourselves a pretty nice rig now,…

Joseph knew almost nothing about how to be in a successful relationship with a woman. Indeed, he had never been in one prior to the Event, and his brief experiments and attempts had shown him that what little he had learned online and in printed media fell woefully short of the mark when it came to providing useful instruction. So far, he had only managed to discover a few things. The most important thing was that, just like men, women liked it when you spent time with them and cared about the things they…

As it turned out, Joseph was needed that night, and not because Oliver had to amputate. The medical details were all lost on him, but he ended up spending enough of that night and the next morning in the hospital that he abandoned his plans for the next day and just slept solidly through the whole thing. It was a good thing blood and fluids didn’t bother him, because he had seen more of both than he had bargained for.Working beside Oliver was enough to remind him that he wasn’t the only pony with…

Moriah was still seething by the time they made their way back to their house.Okay, maybe not house. The tiny town of Paris, Illinois had hundreds of homes. Unfortunately, all of them were set up to require a connection to power, water, and sewage. As they had yet to repair or replace any of these three systems on a universal scale, they would all have to live like nomads for a little while longer.After having the last city he lived in burned to ash around him, Joseph actually liked it. If the same thing…

Joseph frowned, listening to the plan again. Alex’s “meeting” hadn’t included Adrian. At first, he had thought it was because she wanted to lecture them about being nicer to Riley, and somepony had to stop the bugpony from stumbling into the conversation.It had been, at first. But there were only so many different ways she could explain that “Riley couldn’t help what she’d been turned into and she needed their kindness.” She showed a picture of a little girl, got everybody to feel guilty,…

Joseph was bored.This was no exception for him; actually it was the rule more than any other feeling. Little could challenge him, little could push the limits of his intellect or aptitude for more than a few moments. When those moments were over, it was back to playing Pokémon.That was what he wanted to be doing now; what he would’ve been doing if he hadn’t been dragged into the library too early in the morning by the neediest pony in the whole colony. “Why don’t you have your boyfriend do…

August 25, 2015Dear Journal,Our latest salvage operation to St. Louis ended better than I could’ve predicted! No rabid animal attacks this time, and as a matter of fact nopony even needed their rifles. I wish we didn’t have to keep them with us so often, but until we get better with our powers… better to have a gun and not need it, right? I’d be dead like three times now if I hadn’t learned how to shoot.We found everything we’d planned to bring back in the city. Two new motor-homes for…

Adrian tried to get Riley to come back to their outpost several times, but no promise could elicit her to leave. Telling her about the real mattresses or the hot water for a shower didn’t either. It wasn’t entirely her fault; the others had made their way upstairs to see her one after the other, and none had been very friendly.If he had been upset with Alex’s reaction, the others outright disgusted him. He could only imagine the things they were saying about her in the lobby. He couldn’t even go…

Distant tears came to Adrian like a knife in his soul. He had never taken responsibility for anyone before, never had a younger sibling or a nephew looking up to him. He’d never experienced pain like this in his life, not until that exact moment. Just as in New York, or earlier in Niagara, he knew a pony needed his help, and Hell itself couldn’t stand in his way.He bounded past Alex, into the maze-like interior of the building. No, maze wasn’t strong enough. This building was a labyrinth. He took…
