"So... Where are you humans going to stay?"
"Um... Didnt think of that."
It was just a short time before (apparently) lunch, and the 8 of us were talking about housing.
"We could try building a house near the everfree."
"Iz zat vot ze forest is called?"
"Yes, and its not safe, so couldnt you build it near town?"
"Not safe? On what level?"
"Loads of creatures. Most of them are safe, but there are ones that could easilly take a small town."
"Hm... I could use the practice. Something tells me that we will soon be fighting many tough enemies."
Just then, it hit lunchtime.
"So, what in the ways of food exists here?"
"Apples, flower sandwiches, hay, that sort of stuff."
"I think i might stick to my ration K type unit boxes."
"Zat explains ze smell of some of ze stuff jou eat, Merc!"
thud.
"OW! Vat ze hell vaz zat vor?"
"I dont like people hating my ration Ks."
"And what will Schadenfreude eat?"
"Uh... This is awkward. He usually eats... er... meat."
6 collective gasps of horror echoed around the room.
"But not always. He sometimes eats Heavys sandvich, but usually when he gets hurt badly, by, say, a rocket."
"Okay. He can eat sandwiches then, assuming sandvich and sandwich are as similar as they sound."
"Thats the food problem sorted, until I run out of ration Ks."
"What will you eat after those are gone?"
"If my memory serves correctly, and there are manticores in the everfree, then probably manticore flesh."
"By the way, whats in the ration Ks?"
"Stuff that you probably wont want to know about, such as bonemeal."
"Now, can ve start solving ze house issue?"
"Okay. Location should be the everfree, as we need the practice."
"Lets get started zen!"
One short walk (Flight for Rainbow, Fluttershy, bounce for pinkie, and rocket jump for me, in which I found out about the wings I had acquired during the event that had teleported me here) later, at the everfree.
"Cant just magic items out of the air, so we will have to get items to build a house."
"Way ahead of jou, Merc!"
Schadenfreude had already made a crafting table, mined some stone, made a crude stone axe, and collected a pile of wood.
"HEY! Leave some of the interesting for me!" I shouted out to him, before shotgunning down a tree.
Some harvesting, arguing, breaking of tools, reloading of a shotgun, Bringing down of a manticore, and building later...
"Not the best house ever, but it should do fine."
All 8 of the collective 2 groups were now looking at the result of large amounts of wood, some stone, and manticore hide.
"Protects against the wind, at least."
"Why would you need protection against the wind?"
"Because of reasons that should be obvious, like the chill wind can make."
That was how we sorted out the food, built a house, and further damaged the ponies good views on Schadenfreude.
