Fallout Equestria: Swordmare
Prolauge: Of Comics and Cutiemarks
Load Full StoryNext ChapterComics can be a hassle, when you find them around the wasteland their's not too much you can do with them but read or sell them. Though for the life of me, I have no idea why people keep on reading them once and tossing them. I see them all around, ruined, destroyed, and thrown behind in a pile of corpses as the reader leaves refreshed. Celestia knows why, I just like to keep them, I mean that seems sensible right? Whatever, if you're a fan of comics it can be almost impossible for you to find them if your looking. And damn, looking can be one of the only things you do out here...
Cutie-marks aren't much better. Pursuing your cutiemark, trying to figure out what that picture on your rear means, can be like being a comic book fan. Hard, to the point of being nearly impossible, but something you've just got to do if you want to get on with your life. Without comics, well, it's not really worth it most of the time if you're someone who is focused on the things like I am. Similarly, cutie-marks can be a confusing tumble if your out in the waste and you're trying to figure them out. Some are straight foreword, I once saw a mare with a bloody knife on her flank, but if you're trying to figure out what a rising sun means when it's always raining, or if you need to figure out what a book or something means while your just trying to survive it can be hard.
I, myself, was never intelligent enough to worry about much besides treasure and booze. A bottle of beer had the power to kill my remaining brain cells, but I was never a calm drunk. The treasure I sought out so hard, though, tended to be something of a confusing tumble again. Comics, the best treasure in the wasteland, the best thing to read and the best thing besides booze to help you calm yourself when you had to to get rid of the enemy. A good knock on the head's usually enough to get rid of them, and when it's not you can use explosives, explosives can be fun!
