There's nothing quite as satisfying as playing out a fight where nothing is restricted.

Necromancy, pestilence, suicide bombers, mind rot, outright murder- no sane person would ever use these things.

Though it would be nice to see zombies take on laborious tasks for us and serve as an army in lieu of actual guardsmen.

What the heck is wrong with you? We're not doing any of that!

Why not?

Because respecting the dead is kind of a thing- let them rest in peace!

But they're dead; why should they care?

I don't know; we'll figure that out when somepony in Equestria actually dies.

Wait- nopony in Equestria has died?!

But I wanna zombie army!

No

Really? What happened to Applejack's parents?

If I recall correctly they were...

Temporarily Applejack's aunt and uncle. We needed an excuse to ship filly Applejack out to Manehatten to find her cutie mark.

Eventually neither of them were brave enough to come back home and claim themselves to be Applejack's real parents, so Granny Smith took over.

Wait mah parents are a what in a whose now?

OH SHI-

Thank you random stranger I hired to be Applejack's grandmother.

No problem! Ah always love farmin' grapes anyways. Toodles!
