He floated a bottle over to her and cracked off the cap. "We may not make it out alive. Best to make the most of our remaining time."
"Ooh, thanks for that. Guess that means I must be getting pretty good at this," he replied as he got up.
Maya rolled back to her hooves. "Think I'm done for now. Wanna gather up Dusty and head inside, or bother Silver for more lessons? I saw Az, Rave and Nightshade head in a little bit ago. Quality time is kinda important now."
He looked back at the bar. "You know, I think I've pretty much gotten the hang of this fighting thing," he said. "Plus, I could do with a drink or two."
(Speaking up as Maya and Blackened pass) Hey. Wanna join us? (Cracks open the Lager and downs a small portion of it, about an 8th.)
"I mean. If you can get Az to have one, sure." Dusty flew in, landed next to his wife and nuzzled her side. "Hello, dearest. And Blackened." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Navaja reappeared by the command tent, searching for his beloved doctor.
"That's the plan," Maya answered, having a seat with them. Dusty sat down by Maya and grabbed himself a lager.
"Blackened." Azrael floated him over a beer. "Tell me. Do you have time to sit with me before Armageddon?" "Might benefit from a quick toke," Maya answered.
He saw the beer floating over and took it, giving a light sip. "Thanks," he responded to Az. "Yeah, I've got some time to talk and stuff."
Selena: (draws a picture of a certain ripe plant, and a list of descriptive terms such as self-drying and potent, that appears when she rips the paper out and it burns.) Here Maya. Pick your own I guess.
"Thanks, hon." Maya took some of the magical kush that was conjured, packing it into a nearby bowl. "How are you feeling about all this?" Azrael asked.
The ponies that attempted to run found themselves lifted into the air by Blackout's telekinesis and flung back into the fray. "Fear is a luxury you cannot afford! Will you run from Apophis and his minions?! Will you leave your brothers and sisters to die?! Fight, damn you!" His face darkened. "Asmodeus. Show them exactly what they and their loved ones can expect if we lose. Remember, they can be healed." ************************************************************************************************************************ Rain was running around the camp, making sure everypony had received a dose of the vaccine. She had just finished with the griffons when Navaja found her. "I was hoping to see you before the morning. Would you like to head inside for a bit?" *************************************************************************************************** Nightshade nodded, smiling. "That's great. I knew you'd be a hit." She wrapped a wing around Raven, looking at the clock. "One minute." ************************************************************************** Outside, a massive carriage pulled by a team of a dozen earth ponies pulled up, and a short, bald, angry-looking unicorn stepped out. "Goot! Dey iz already gettink shtuff ready for de show."
"It's pretty crazy," he responded. "This might be the last day we all spend together, but we'll live if we're lucky, I'm sure."
