Marigold stared at the waiter coldly. "I ain't your sweetie," she proclaimed, walking past him. "My mother is dead. My father is probably dead, old oaf. Stuck outside the vault." She looked around the cantina. "I understand I can use this room to find where my own room is? Do you know where?"
"Oh... Okay... The residency lists are over by the Jukebox. Is there anything else you need?" asked the Bald pony. One of waitresses, a blue pony with unkempt hair and sullen eyes, took notice to Harmony. "Uh, ma'am, can I help you with anything?"
Marigold nods. "After I see where I need to go, I'll probably need help getting there. If you could lead me, that would be great!" She turned her tail and walked to the juke boxes, checking her room number.
As Marigold gold scanned the list the several minutes, a tremor rippled across the vault. The lights flickered for a few seconds and an eerie silence fell across the vault. When the lights finally remained on, Marigold found her name on the lists... Wing C Harmony Dusk- Suite C1 Marigold Flower- Suite C2 Fabrica Creare- Suite C3 Blood Money- Suite C4 Eluuna Silverwing- Suite C5
"Oh, sorry about that." Harmony apologized. "I don't need anything, but thanks for asking. Is it possible if you could lead me towards my quarters?" She got up and was escorted to a list of names in which her's were on. From the list, she seen her name as first on the list and allocated on Wing C. She also noticed five other names on the list, in which she knew would be her new neighbors. "Suite C1? Might as well start unpacking my belongings and get moved in." Harmony was taking the whole end of the world thing kindly. She had to, it was the only thing she could do until she took the G.O.A.T. She honored her parents sacrifice and thought of them as heroes.
Fabrics got tired of sitting & thinking, so he went to the counter, sat down at it & asked,"got anythin' to drink?", then looked to the ponies nearest to him
Another waiter, a cream colored pegasi with a finely combed brown maned, noticed Fabrica's question, "We have cola, water, and cider; not hard cider, just the juice. We're trying to figure out the code to the storage for the harder and stronger stuff, the guy who knew it is sorta... Radioactive waste now..." As the sullen eyed mare escorted escorts Harmony to her suite, the PA system kicks on... "This is the Overseer again, we just lost contact with Equestria High Command. The last message we received from them was: 'Pushing back the changelings, Cloudsdale is burning, Manehatten is gone.' Now, there is no need for alarm. Even if Equestria fails to win this war, the vault door is near impenetrable and we have a well armed and trained security force. We still have contact with Corporate HQ, but they are now forced to move to a mobile communication center. This the Overseer, signing off." While the grey, bald pony escorted Marigold to her quarters, another colt; a red-ish orange unicorn with a stuffed looking donegal hat, trips over Marigold. He seems worried about something, but he quickly gets up and scrambles down an adjacent corridor.
Fabrica thinks for a little, then says,"I'd rather have a 'hard' drink, maybe I can get into the room, how 'bout it?"
"Well, you can sure try." The Pegasi leads Fabrica through a door on the other side of the counter and down a cold corridor. After passing several sets of doors, he stops and turns to the door on his right. Appears to have a spinning combination lock on it.
Eluuna walked to the Cantina, and noticed a small crowd around sheets of paper. She inspected the sheet. Wing C Harmony Dusk- Suite C1 Marigold Flower- Suite C2 Fabrica Creare- Suite C3 Blood Money- Suite C4 Eluuna Silverwing- Suite C5
"Hmm, I'm not a combo solving type of guy, but, if you got the tools, I've got the skill", fabrica said, taking a look for any spots it could be disassembled from
The pegasi pulls a bag of tools from the room across. It seems to be filled with a wide assortment of tools and equipment. "So, what's the deal with the mechanical leg? Some sort of industrial accident?"
"No... Bandit hacked it off with a battle axe...", fabrica says, pulling out tools & working on the door
As Frabica fiddled with the lock, a couple more of the cantina staff gathered around. After a few minutes of lockpicking,the lock falls off and the door slides up, reveling a room filled with hard cider and other crated alcoholic beverages. The staff cheer and begin to unload the room of it's contents. As the crates reach the cantina, more cheering can be heard. The cream colored Pegasi tosses Frabica a hard cider. "Heads up, you earned it. I could try to put in the good word for you to the admins, try to get you a job in the engineering department. If you want that is."
"I'd love that...", fabrica replied, then opened the cider & took a drink,"thanks...", he said, raising the bottle
The Pegsai rises a bottle along with some of the other staff before taking a swig. For a moment, life in the vault seems like it'll bearable...
Fabrica smiled faintly, then finished his drink & stood up,"if anypony needs me, I'll be at my quarters...", & with that said he was off
