Fandom The Dawn Brigade, Equestria's Fall (EF)

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The chariot ride back is rather uneventful. Dim is waiting for the chariot at the port at the bottom of the ship. He steps up to Blue's chariot.

 

[Balancer]

"Sir, how's the kid?" Blue asks as he steps off, the smirking ghostly mare laughing as she reclines on his back. Oh you're gonna get it now!

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

"Almost as pissed at you as I am annoyed" Dim says with a dismissing wave of his hoof. Dim begins to walk towards the door as he continues "He may have lost his ability to move his hind hoof, but luckily for both of you Star realized that we would need one of the wasps to develop an antivenom and grabbed one when she brought him. It will take a few days, but he will be fine. "

 

[Balancer]

"Good, good." Blue mumbles. "We should take note to come back here later." He says as he follows Dim.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

"Hmm noted. Now anyways I have to ask. Are you a fucking retard!?" Dim glares at Blue

 

[Balancer]

"I take it you have a problem with my conduct sir?"

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Dim facehooves "You made soldier who is noted for his skill in melee combat use a ranged weapon he had never handled before in a unknown combat scenario! We train in controlled environments for a reason. "Dim shakes his head.

 

[Balancer]

"Sir, If anything I'm disgusted that one of our soldiers has never been given basic ranged combat practice. This sort of shit should taught in princess damned basic." Blue says, a snarl slipping out before he regains composure. "I don't know who trains the regulars but if we want ponies to serve in an elite brigade I damn well want them to be able to adapt to the situation." He says as he brushes past, shooting a look at Dim. "Sir."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

"STAND AT ATTENTION SOLDIER!" Dim barks at Blue. "I am still your commanding officer!" Staring down at Blue Dim growls "YOU were the leader of that expedition. It was YOUR job to adapt to the situation, yet YOU failed to account for the fact that one of YOUR soldiers was unskilled in the use of a weapon, but even when that soldier expressed his lack of experience YOU forced him to continue in the use of that weapon!" Dim marched up to Blue "You're not a private anymore. It's time you start taking responsibility for your fuck ups instead of placing the blame on others. "

 

[Balancer]

Blue spins around, teeth bared. "I apparently failed to account for the incompetence of a chain of command who gives me incorrectly trained men." He hisses.


Ohhh some one's got their fangs out, I like it when you get mad. The ashen grey mare coos as she hangs over his shoulder.


"I adapted my strategy after the first engagement, I made sure the kid got back here, No other men were injured under my command. Given the circumstances of the encounter him having a sword wouldn't have made a difference." He says, staring Dim in the eyes as he walks up to him. Their muzzles almost touching as Blue meets the gaze with an iron one of his own. "And don't you even think to lecture me on responsibility, I know exactly want went wrong, what I could have done better and what needs to be done better."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Dim's horn glows as he growls "Stand down soldier."

 

[Balancer]

Blue raises an eyebrow. "I should say that to you sir. I'm not one to attack commanders I actually respect, it's the brass above you I'd rather have words with. But then again it's that sort of shit that landed me here." He says, recoiling with a shake of the head.


Awww, and just when it was getting good.





"I know how you feel sir, but you have to see that sword or crossbow it wouldn't have made a difference. If it would have then I wouldn't be having the conversation."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Does Blue manage to talk his way out of trouble?


-10 from lack of charisma, but +15 from current relations for a total of +5


0-20 Very bad. Detrimental to Blue's career and Dim's opinion of Blue


21-50 Bad. Blue is temporarily demoted for a mission. Detrimental to Dim's opinion


50-100 Dim's annoyed, but nothing else comes of this.

 

[Balancer]

(Alright, wouldn't be the first time a botched rolls doomed me hahah)


[dice]4538[/dice](YAY)

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Dim sighs before saying "Just don't mess up again alright?"

 

[Balancer]

"Everyone's alive Sir, right now things are peachy." Blue says as he heads down to the medical bay.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Dim lights his horn sending another message to the unicorn that was standing cloaked nearbye. The unicorn follows Blue.

 

[Balancer]

Blue ducks into the medbay, looking around for Caramel.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Caramel lay comatose in room 58. Sky has received leave until he had recovered and is asleep in his room.

 

[Balancer]

Blue takes a deep breath, and pulls up a seat. "Sorry kid." He says, a phantom weight on his shoulder as the mare leans against him.


You're going to do that thing I hated you doing aren't you?


Yeah.


Well make sure you remember to eat, I know you forget to when waiting for them to wake up.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Sky grumbles before rolling over in the two chairs she had set up as a bed.

 

[Balancer]

(So Dim's got a spy tailing Blue huh?)

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

(Kind of. You will see later)

 

[Balancer]

Blue sighs as he settles in for the wait, humming an few bars of a half remembered song. The phantom mare smiles as she presses next to him, humming as well.


How long will he be under?


Can't say, never was much of a doctor.


Yeah, you weren't were you.





Shaking his head as he sighs again, the phantom humming all the while, Blue looks over at Sky with a sad look.
