Thank you very much Maklak, that's a great summary of the pony families and their living quarters.  I'm probably going to be following through with the larger family housing idea soon.

Also, I know that Powder Miner asked for me to fix it so that Oil Macepony and Powder Miner be set to be lovers, but I haven't done that in game just yet.  Migrants were turned back on to a cap of 110 (so a few extra migrants will show up) and foals have been capped at 25, so some of the children will have to grow up before we get any more births.

"I got a arrested for something... I did before I came to dawnpick. Partisan must have decided that that was the last straw and told me that I was demoted. The hell am I saying, the sick bastard didn't demote me he bucking demoralized me, he didn't just lower my rank, he put me at the very bottom of the ranks. The bastard thought that he could just do that to me and get away with it. SO, I put a dent in his face for treating me like dirt. Then Kat ran up and slammed the blunt side of her crossbow into my head. the last thing I can remember was Partisan yelling at me trying to get me to give up my crossbow. I think Kat's crossbow strike gave me a concussion and it took me a few minutes to pas out. Anyway I woke up chained to this bed with a splitting head ache and I couldn't find my crossbow anywhere."



I would need to be careful about how I phrased this...

"You... resigned because you were demoted?"

"Yes, and the bruise I left on Partisan's face is the resignation letter. Heh, I actually feel pretty crappy right now, seeing how I Let that backstabbing jackass walk out of that fight with with all his bucking teeth."

"But... why?  Why resign over being demoted?  You didn't join the guard for prestige, you joined to help ponies.  I know the question you ask everypony who wants to join... so why does your rank matter?"

"Rank matters because it shows how much the captain respects you. Partisan put me at the top AND then he just shoves me to the bottom, like freaking garbage. The bastard thought that he could demoralize me in order to make me more manageable. That's just bucking sick! And you know what? I'm willing to die for anypony in the fort but I'm not willing to work under somepony who Blatantly disrespected me in the worst of bucking ways."

"Well I probably won't get deported. When Virtue realized that I'd be executed for my crimes she got all sad about it, and told me that she wouldn't send me off. But then again, I am currently chained to a bed so I guess I might."

((...Re-posted (three pages later) and edited to make it clearer I'm trying to start a scene with Panacea))

Oil Macepony shifted uncomfortably in the hospital bed. She'd certainly expected the languages to be a problem, but it was must more insurmountable than she had thought. She'd been taken care of well enough anyway... But the reason she had come to this particular fort is because he was here... what... what was his name in midpony? ...Let's see... She turned to the caretaker. "Powder... Miner Knothole? ... I know Powder... want see Powder... midpony very difficult, urgh." It was obvious that she was pained by having to use a language she knew very few words of, and she began muttering something in another language. Indeed, some had heard Powder Miner speaking that language before.

Sorry, I thought you were trying to start a scene but kinda figured the current one would be over soon, when it wasn't.  :)

I'll assume that this occurs before or after the current scene, not concurrently.




Panacea turns to face her newest patient, feeling a bit reassured that she was at least speaking now.  "Powder Miner?"  The mare's injuries were more than just a few bruises, but she should be alright to be left alone for a few minutes.  "Oh... okay, let me see if I can find him."  She arranges for Wool to keep his eye on her and sets off to see if she could locate him.
