08 Apple Crumble [Back-dated to Saturday Zombies]

[downtoearthpony]

Part A | Around 337 Brady Lane

[Well looky here. Zombies. This is just great. Applejack's seen Nightmare of the Dead before, and that was a good reference for the last time there was zombies swarming Mayfield. Last time Theo kept the house pretty safe from them too, so she figures this will probably a good place to keep an eye on things.

Most of her friends can probably handle this too. It's not like they're new or can't....

OH SWEET CELESTIA APPLE BLOOM IS HERE NOW!!

And now there's an orange blur as a pony runs out into the street.]

Goldarn it, this town just enjoys making things difficult, doesn't it?!

Part B | Anywhere in Town

[There is a frantic orange pony running down the streets. Occasionally she checks the street signs with nothing but a look of annoyance. So much so that at some point, she feels the need to shout her frustration.]

Why can't Ah find Stevens Road?!

Part C | Outside 2239 Stevens Road

[Applejack has finally made it to where her little sister said she lives at and is now trying to find her. This involves pounding on doors and shouting. Hope your housemates are understanding Apple Bloom!]

Apple Bloom? APPLE BLOOM?! You okay! Are you here? Oh please don't tell me she's out in the town during this...

[On his way from restocking his house with basic necessities, Aya spots that orange pony that's talking to herself. What?]

[When she passes, Aya pauses to look back at her. Should he be surprised anymore?]

B

[downtoearthpony]

[Wait, that person isn't trying to eat her, or acting like she's a dog, so they must be somebody who can help!]

YOU!

[Applejack points a hoof at Aya.]

Do you know where Stevens Street is?! Ah've got family to find!

[formerabyssinian]

[There is a pony talking to him. This town really has affected him.]

It's...not too far from here. Go east for about more five blocks.

(If Kreutzer didn't already recognize Applejack's voice, she'd be more irritated by all of the noise. The zombies are drawn to all of that sound, you know!

That's why Applejack will find a bunch of Kreutzer's dolls flying out of the house to shoot, slash and generally do away with the zombies before they can get close. Kreutzer herself opens the door and gestures for Applejack to enter.)

Quickly! Before they notice!

Re: C Okay to threadjack?

[wishesforacutiemark]

[And popping out from behind Kreutzer's legs is Apple Bloom. She's just managed to arrive back in the house. She is rather weirded out by Kreutzer's dolls but her attention is quickly diverted to her sister's arrival] Applejack - inside! Hurry!

C I'm fine with it!

[downtoearthpony]

[Oh hey, it's Kreutzer! Wait, floating dolls? That's a new one for Applejack, too. She's surprised, but then she notices Apple Bloom behind her.]

Apple Bloom! Oh thank Celestia you're okay!

[She runs quickly for the house, bucking aside any zombie that might have gotten past the fighting dolls.]

Ah'm sorry about the yelling, Ah was just really worried... Have you all been safe here?

B

[imbodytemp]

[A small voice echoes out from inside a nearby mailbox.]

Oh, are...are you lost little girl?

B

[downtoearthpony]

[Wait, did that Mailbox just talk?]

...Ah'm looking for Stevens Road, mah little sister is suppose to be living at a house there.

Re: B

[imbodytemp]

[The Mailbox continues talking.]

Oh! That's no good! She needs to hide from the z...zombies!

[Keeping out of the zombie's reach is pretty easy for Rainbow Dash, and much to her annoyance the zombies are back again. She's soaring across the skies, looking for anyone who might need a lift to higher ground until...]

Applejack?! What the hay are you doing out here?!

B

[downtoearthpony]

[Applejack has been dodging and bucking her way through town. Mostly the sameness of each street is really keeping her from finding the address she's looking for.]

Dash!! Glad to see you're okay! Ah'm trying to find Apple Bloom! She just arrived here a few days ago, Ah need to make sure she's alright!

Re: B

[20percentcooler]

Of course I'm okay, I-

Wait, Apple Bloom's here too?!

B

[technophiling]

[Oh, wow, that's a... wow.]

Left at the next block, over two, and then you're at the end of it.

B

[downtoearthpony]

[Applejack screeches to a halt when she hears someone give directions. She was a little frantic, so she might have missed that. Better make sure first.]

Ah'm sorry, what? Left and then where do Ah go from there?

[technophiling]

Head over two streets. Stevens is the third.

B

[party_hard]

[Really, Applejack, you thought your friends could handle themselves?

You just might spot Pinkie running around screaming her head off. Whether or not she's doing that because she finds it fun or because she is honestly scared is anyone's guess.]

B

[downtoearthpony]

[Wait, was that-]

...Pinkie?!

[Strength in numbers and probably good to make sure her friend's okay!]

Pinkie! Wait!

[Hopefully there aren't any zombies following the screams...]

Re: B

[party_hard]

[At the sound of Applejack's voice, Pinkie screeches to a halt.]

Applejack! Everypony's going CRAZY!

It's like a big weird zombie party!

[Careful, there are a few zombies in the distance that were attracted by Pinkie's screaming, but now that she's shut up, they seem to be trying to figure out where to go next. You haven't been seen!]

B

[bread_goes_bip]

[Death is out in this because, well, outbreak of undead. She needs to be. But she'll still stop.]

It's just a couple blocks from here. You're almost there.

[downtoearthpony]

Only a few more blocks? Thanks so much. Ah'm trying to find mah little sister so Ah'm kinda rushing around. Probably not helping me find the right street...

[bread_goes_bip]

I'd be worried too if my little sisters were here.

[Especially Del... you could never be sure, with her]

Come on, I'll get you there safely.

(Speeding down the road on his motorcycle is none other than Django! He seems to be occupying himself with shooting down as many zombies as he can with his bike's built-in solar guns, but once he sees Applejack, he instantly comes to a halt. Frantically running around? He's here to save the day!)

Applejack, the roads are too dangerous! Get on and I'll drive you where you need to go!

[downtoearthpony]

[What in the hay-?]

Django?! What in tarnation is that thing? Some kinda motorized scooter?

[She glances around and figures now is not time to worry about such things and tries to figure out how to get on that thing...]

Never mind, you can explain later. You know where 2239 Stevens Road is? Mah sister is suppose to be living there now!

[After a bit more pondering, she pulls off her best impersonation of Lyra, though, leaning forward a bit more to hold onto Django.]

So, um, this is how you ride this thing?

[reflames]

[Sup have a lady sitting on a street sign.] Fifty paces northeast.

[downtoearthpony]

Northeast?

[Applejack takes a look around to see if she can suss out the cardinal directions, but the sun is rather high in the sky and not really easy to tell east or west that way.]

Ah'm sorry, which way is northeast?
