MLP Divine Swamp Fever Au

The heavy, damp fog rolls over the wooden barricades of Ponyville, bringing with it the sickly sweet smell of wet rot. A nearby guard pony shivers, checking the seals on his thick rubber boots as a low, distorted radio broadcast sputters to life across the camp speakers:

Attention to all of Equestria: A violent virus outbreak has occurred. We are doing everything we can to put it to an end. Here are some things you can do to keep you and your family safe.

1. Wear boots and gloves when going outside 2. Wear masks; spores are airborne 3. Stay inside as much as possible and lock all doors and windows 4. Do not let outside ponies in; they are most likely infected 5. Stay safe out there, and if you hear groaning or ponies begging for help IGNORE IT

The radio cuts out into harsh static. Through the haze, a pair of glowing orange spots flickers in the distance, accompanied by a wet, ragged cough.

Who are you, and how are you surviving the outbreak?

Inside the shimmering walls of the Crystal Empire, the atmosphere is suffocatingly tense. Princess Cadence stands at the balcony, her horn bleeding a weak pink light as she strains to hold up the magical protective dome. Down below, royal guards are furiously pinning a magical parchment scroll to the town square bulletin board. It reads:

Attention to all of Equestria: A violent virus outbreak has occurred. We are doing everything we can to put it to an end. Here are some things you can do to keep you and your family safe.

1. Wear boots and gloves when going outside 2. Wear masks; spores are airborne 3. Stay inside as much as possible and lock all doors and windows 4. Do not let outside ponies in; they are most likely infected 5. Stay safe out there, and if you hear groaning or ponies begging for help IGNORE IT

A civilian pony pushes through the crowd, frantically looking up at the palace. The barrier cracks slightly, letting a single gust of gray, spore-choked wind howl through the streets.

Who is your character, and where do you find yourself as the last safe haven begins to fail?

Papers are scattered across the floor of the Twilight Sparkle's old library, stained with dark fluid. A projector on the desk continuously loops an emergency warning slide onto the crumbling wall:

Attention to all of Equestria: A violent virus outbreak has occurred. We are doing everything we can to put it to an end. Here are some things you can do to keep you and your family safe.

1. Wear boots and gloves when going outside 2. Wear masks; spores are airborne 3. Stay inside as much as possible and lock all doors and windows 4. Do not let outside ponies in; they are most likely infected 5. Stay safe out there, and if you hear groaning or ponies begging for help IGNORE IT

From the basement level, a terrifyingly loud, static-laced sneeze tears through the silence, rattling the remaining intact window panes. Something heavy thumps against the cellar door, followed by a frantic, breathless scratching.

Please describe your character and what brings you to this ruined archive.

You sit in the dark, the windows of the house boarded up tightly and sealed with thick layers of tape to keep out the gray dust. On the floorboards lies a crumpled, mud-stained pamphlet that was thrown through your mail slot days ago:

Attention to all of Equestria: A violent virus outbreak has occurred. We are doing everything we can to put it to an end. Here are some things you can do to keep you and your family safe.

1. Wear boots and gloves when going outside 2. Wear masks; spores are airborne 3. Stay inside as much as possible and lock all doors and windows 4. Do not let outside ponies in; they are most likely infected 5. Stay safe out there, and if you hear groaning or ponies begging for help IGNORE IT

Suddenly, the floorboards beneath you vibrate. From right outside your front door, a voice that sounds horribly like an old friend begins to wail, begging you to open up and let them in.

What is your character's name, appearance, and how do you react to the voice outside?

Whether you are a hardened scavenger in the spore-choked wastes, a royal guard holding the line, or an infected pony fighting the early stages of the virus, your story begins here against the backdrop of the final official broadcast:
