I've updated the Careful's Charge bin. It now has a table of contents. A link in there goes to the current part.

If I can make a request, I'd appreciate it if anyone who saved it could post Careful fanart from past threads. I saved some but not all of it and I want to make sure I have it forever.

>It feels hot
>Almost searing through your back

>There was…
>Well
>There was nothing really
>There was nothing to be used as cover between this wagon and the crack in the land
>There were minute differences in ground elevation, sure
>But nothing substantial
>You clench your jaw and take another deep breath

i can't help but think what would happen if it was something secretly embarrassing that no other pony would understand.

>On the other side of Honor Bound's office door, you take your helmet off, take a deep breath, and sigh.

>"R.G. Safe?" asks a voice, before you can even begin to relax.

>Up trots a mint-green unicorn stallion, wearing the black combat armor of the department's Special Magic and Tactics team.
>SMAT had backed you up earlier, entering Over the Moon and cuffing and carting off many of the MILF ninjas you and Careful had already knocked out.
>Even if they came as soon as they could, you can't help but to feel a little resentment towards them.
>Their intervention earlier could have meant fewer bruises taken and less damage done.
>And maybe Anon and Careful would have been alright.
>Maybe.
>Still, you can't help but to put a stopper in your frustration for a member of your class back at the Academy.
"Clear River. How are you?"

>"Oh, never mind me, darling. How are YOU? Goodness, a mix-in with masked MILF mischief... what worse treacheries could this department put a poor mare up to?"
>He raises a hoof and flicks his meticulously-styled curls.
"I'm... okay."

>Clear has always been different than the other male guards in the department.
>He's more friendly, especially with you and the other mares.
>You're not sure why.

>"DARLING!" he interjects. "You look anything BUT okay. Oh, your beautiful blue mane. It's mussed up! Bedraggled! I know you were in a scrape, my dear, but can't you even condition, like I tell you? Oh, let me..."
>He licks his hooves, reaches for you, and begins smoothing out your hair before you can stop him.
>You'd ordinarily flinch from a pony getting so close to you so unexpectedly, but, for Clear, you can manage a smile.
>Your natural smile, not the kind you have to practice.
>It's more... subdued... than other ponies', you understand.
>But Clear recognizes it as acutely as he would a huge grin on a foal's face.
>"See? Isn't that better. Oh, dear, what would you do without me. You'd be helpless. Helpless!"
"Do you need something, Clear?"

>"Safety First! As if I would need an ulterior motive to come check up on YOU."
>He looks left, right, and lowers his voice conspiratorially.
>"I need your help with a suspect, R.G."
"Yes?"
>"Come. Look."

>He leads you over to the glass panel between the general office and one of the insulated, sound-proof interrogation rooms.
>The glass is one-way: inside, it's reflective, but outside, you can see through it as clearly as a window.
>Inside, seated at the suspect's end of the interrogation table, is a pegasus with a yellow coat and black hair.
>She nervously cradles a foal to her chest, identical in coloring.

"That's Honey Hive. She was in the attack, but I don't think she did any damage. May have been coerced. Anon - the human - he vouched for her... though, in his condition..."
>"It's enough for now. She doesn't seem too dangerous, and that corroborates her story."
>Clear magics open the door to the room, pokes his head in, and calls, his voice an octive lower than he normally speaks to you:
>"Ms. Hive. One of our guards from the scene backs up your story. You're free to go, but don't leave town until we follow up. Give us a week. We'll be speaking to the victim once he comes to."
>"T-thank you," replies Honey, rising shakily from her chair and fluttering from the room.
>On her way out she looks at you.
>She takes a moment to recognize you, after which she nods, smiles, and continues on her way.
>>
>>29737591
>Clear returns and resumes speaking in his normal tone of voice.
>"You see that little filly of hers? So cute."
>He grins, but not the sincere kind of grin, you think.
>More the kind of grin one gives in response to a grim joke.
>"Too bad mommy's probably getting locked up. Her defense is, what. The testimony of someone with a brain injury?"
"Anonymous is a friend of mine and Careful's. He was confused after the... the accident, but I believe he was lucid enough to vouch for her."
>"Oh. I'm sorry, sweetie. I shouldn't have assumed."
>You're not sure why he's apologetic. You only meant to correct him.
"Yeah. Anyway, Clear. I have to be on my way. Need... I need a shower."
>"Of course you do, darling. I do too... but duty calls. You enjoy your time off."
"You knew?"
>"I assumed correctly. This was a mess. But you and Careful finally caught those MILFs doing the dirty in person. The rest of them have paper-thin alibis at best. They're all going away. Huge thorn out of our side, R.G."
>He salutes.
>You return it.
>As soon as you do, he brings both his hooves to his face and squishes his cheeks.
>"And on my next day off, I'll treat us three to a spa date. You need it, I need it, I'm sure Careful needs it. You don't miss it, or I'll never speak to you again!"
>He winks, which he does because, the first time he said that, it had hurt your feelings, because you didn't understand it was a joke.
>You wink back.
"See you then."

Good. Hopefully Honey and her foal will be ok. Assuming all the MILF were caught. Maybe the R.G. should surveil her if not assign a guard. Never know what the nefarious MILFs could be up to.

Honestly nice to see Safe having a friend like that, good to know she's looked out for.

But where did Honey's foal come from? she would have been taken straight to the station and it seems like a very limited amount of time has passed for her foal to join her
>>
>>29738540
It's likely her foalsitter brought the little one over.

Thanks for being here y'all. Had a crappy end of the day. The updates, posts and pics help take the edge off before going to sleep.
>>
>>29738564
I would agree with you but with no telephones for that to have happened, either the foalsitter knew Honey would be arrested.
Or a guard would have had to of visited her house and come back(which is fine if she lives over the road I guess) and in that situation why the hell would he bring the foal in rather than tell the sitter Honey's going to be late.
Just me whining that it seems a bit contrived so we could be shown the foal. Still love u CW

I have a friend who's a public defender, and I'd say that's pretty much par for the course for stupid shit perps say in custody.

The ones who ran and were caught in the back alleyways were just wearing a dark cloak on account of the chill. Yeah. And they were running because they were in a hurry, had glass in their mane because they, uh, got in a bar fight, and were just holding those books with "Over The Moon Bookstore" price tags for a friend.

>You make your way, this time uninterrupted, to the mares' lockers.
>They're deserted. At this time of day, everypony's still out on patrol.

>You trot over to your locker and begin the slow process of suiting down.
>First goes the plate itself.
>Each piece is secured to the secondary layer by at least two straps, keeping it from shifting under any blow or rattling from the wearer's movement.
>Day-by-day, or in the field, you wouldn't undo these.
>It's faster and easier to change by managing the straps that hold the secondary layer directly to your body, donning or shedding both layers together like you would ordinary articles of clothing.
>But you're putting away your armor for a while, you've just been on a long job, and the soft layer...
>Well, it smells.
>And you can't just throw the plate with it into the clothes-washer.
>>
>>29744230
>So, full disassembly it is.
>You remove each piece of plate and hang it on its hook in your locker.
>You remove the soft layer with less ceremony, allowing each piece to fall to the floor and sighing with relief once the warm but suffocating regalia lies scattered about your hooves.
>You shove it all in the bottom of your locker, where there's room for it.
>The last of your official equipment is, for winter, some thin, pocketed, thermal underwear for your front half, colored white and gray to help a lightly-equipped guard to blend in with snow.
>The pockets are on the front arms, regions accessible by mouth and not covered by the top two layers of armor.
>They each hold a heavy beanbag packed with metal pellets and filings.
>Non-unicorns are trained to use these against telekenetic holds, which could otherwise leave them stranded and helpless in mid-air.
>Flinging one with the mouth can give one enough rotational or linear momentum to approach a solid surface or her attacker.
>They can also be kicked. They hold together long enough to make a dangerous projectile.
>You're trained to aim for the eyes, face, or head of a caster holding you in a field.
>If they hit home, you get precious seconds of freedom to outmaneuver them.
>If they explode on contact, you're free, period.
>In worse times, these were used for riot control, not just defense... but it's been decades since that's been needed.
>You needed both of yours last night, so you have no munitions to worry about storing.
>You peel the tight garment off your tired body and throw it in your locker over the soft pieces.
>>
>>29744233
>Lastly, you undo the flexible cloth wraps you like to wind around your lower front and hind legs before suiting up.
>It's the same kind boxers use.
>Some ponies think they're for good sports who want to pad their hits, softening the blows to their opponent and making fights safer.
>This is a misconception.
>Such ponies forget - or don't understand - that each force has an equal and opposite force.
>If you kick too hard, you risk fracture or dislocation from your bones bending and shifting in response to the hit.
>Without something to keep them in place, you'd have to moderate your attacks.
>This is especially true for pegasi, who have light bones and lack the natural armor of earth ponies' thick muscle.
>With a firm wrap, though, you're free to kick as hard as you like.
>You'll never hope to match Careful - your lithe, light build prohibits that - but you can get near her, which is exceptional for a pegasus.
>As you shed the last one, a rich soreness radiates from your hind-right leg.
>It's the one you got your first knockout with the previous night.
>It's a satisfying soreness. The kind that informs you of a job well-done.

>You close your locker, take a charcoal stylus from a common tray, and mark the pewter rectangle on its front, under your nameplate:
>'P. W.'
>Polish the plate and Wash the soft pieces, the letters mean.
>Chores for the Academy ponies.
>You don't envy them, but, hey.
>Somepony has to.
>Out of curiousity, you look over at Careful's locker.
>'P. S. W."
>The 'S' is for 'Smithing.' Dents in the plate need hammering out. She took some hits.
>You hope, not for the first or last time, that she's alright.

>You're now exhausted, naked, sore, off-duty, and a little off-scented.
>You want only one thing right now: a long, steaming-hot shower.

I don't think this is a huge mystery.

If the foal is home alone, Honey Hive probably told the guard pretty much immediately.
>"I have a kid who's expecting me home for dinner. If I'm not free to go, somebody needs to get over there to see about that."

If her foal were at school/daycare, then they're obviously going to start making phone calls the moment the day is over and the foal is not picked up. After no answer they'd call the guard to go look for the parent. Or maybe they reach a detective searching the residence for evidence when they call home. Either way, they reach the guard, who will see that mom is in custody and send someone to come pick up the foal.

Mom gets moved to interrogation to try to decide if they have to hold her until trial or can release her on bail, or if they should release her without charge pending a plea bargain for information on the others. The result of this determines whether the foal goes into protective custody or is released to mom.

I like to think this happens over about 2 hours, during which time some scrawny greenhorn recruit has to keep the foal entertained.

You know the more we see of her the less I think Safety would have come to visit Anon if not told to by Careful, which makes me wonder if she would see Careful either, it feels like she wouldn't worry about her unless she wasn't there after the "leave"
>>
>>29752788
Of course she would not have anon. How in the world would seeing somebody that's not a doctor be of any help in getting better?

She does not understand such things involving others and their emotions. Careful understands this and wouldn't hold it against her.

I'm not entirely dead inside, but life is still a thing. It's also a matter of how I want the story to go. I.E. I can make copper good or bad.
It shouldnt be a contributing factor though I dont know how big the following or interest in the story is, lurkers aside. I just need to hunker down and pull a Blu (small break and massive update).
I'll starting putting more thought into it moving forward.

Maybe have the hind legs a bit less long, because of perspective and stuff, then have them hugging anon's sides instead of being spread out like that. From there, you can make them hips even more plump and thicc, for maximum breedability. Other than that, color it, maybe add some fluff and sweat, and you're good.

Dishonored Guard Mare green incoming
>>
>>29759675
It was never actually warm in Damwall.
Even in the Month of Seeds, when the sun shone clear and harsh in the sky and farmers planted their crops, the perpetual sweep of sea breezes cooled the air so that ponies across Quidstol bundled against the chill year-round.
You are City Watch Lieutenant Solemn Rain, and unfortunately for you, it is turning out to be a particularly bitter autumn.
>You step out of the drizzle falling from a leaden sky and into a guard hut, the usual stop on your rounds being a welcome refuge from the damp.
>Casting a wary glance around the snug outpost, you eye the only other occupant, a stallion in the armor of a City Watch guard, gazing at a book by the dim flicker of a whale oil lamp through heavy-lidded eyes.
>You stand quietly observing the guard for a while longer, wondering how long it would take him to notice the newcomer to his post.
>Slumped against desk, no discernable movement of the eyes, not even a prick of the ears, you note inwardly.
>Asleep on duty, then.
>You clear your throat none too quietly and the guard jolts awake, slamming his book closed with a practiced efficiency which, had it not been muddled by sleep, may have prevented you from stealing a glance at the “The Young Prince of Thoroughbrydia” inscribed on the cover.
“Interesting read?”
>You maintain an impassive expression as he fumbles to hide the novel.
>Wide-eyed, he attempts to stammer a response before deciding on a simple “Ma’am!”
>Finally you afford the poor sod a small and understanding smile.
“Relax, you’re not getting written up. This double duty is taking a toll on all of us, just do your best to stay awake, yeah?”
>>
>>29759685
>Relieved, the guard gives an enthusiastic “yes Ma’am!” in reply.
>You turn to note your visit in the hut’s logbook before thinking of something else and rounding once more on the guard.
“One more thing; do try and keep your guilty pleasures a little more… well, secretive.”
>The guard blushes in realization, mumbling a sheepish “yes Ma’am” and finally managing to secure the item in question in a pocket.
>Inscribing that nothing interesting to report had occurred between Pelham Boulevard and Halter Square, you decide to partake in a guilty pleasure of your own before venturing into the rain again.
>Pulling a metal cigarette case from your jacket, you tap it a few times before selecting one, returning the case and withdrawing a cardboard matchbook.
>The first match fails to light and breaks in half, damp from the water that had seeped through to your coat over the course of the evening.
>Frowning with annoyance, you strike another one lightly, the head flaring bright this time.
>Before you can bring it to your tobacco, however, the soaked cardboard sputters out with a puff of smoke.
>”Need a light?”
>You whirl about, the voice not belonging to the guard in the corner but rather coming from directly behind you, and find yourself looking into the smug face of Sergeant Silver Dust.
>Surprise passing, you ease a hoof off your pistol and narrow your eyes coolly at the NCO.
“You shouldn’t sneak up like that, Sergeant, you’re likely to get shot.”
>“Oh come on Sol, after all we’ve been through?” Dust replied, offering a whale oil lighter and spurring its mechanism, producing a yellow flame. “I thought you’d recognize my voice.”
“It’s Lieutenant or Ma’am now, sergeant.”
>You reluctantly touch your cigarette to the flame before raising it to your lips and drawing deeply, the acrid flavor somewhat calming your annoyingly startled nerves.
>>
>>29759698
“And I did recognize your voice, just didn’t expect you on this watch tonight.”
>Silver shrugged, sending a few rivulets of rainwater from his slick armor to the floor.
>“Eh, you know how it is, everyone’s working twice the shifts in twice the districts nowadays,” he said, turning his lighter over in his hoof. “You really ought to get yourself one of these. You know as well as anyone they’re a damn sight better than those matches of yours.”
“You know why I don’t have one.”
>Your tone is quieter, and you glance at the guard in the corner.
> The seated stallion didn’t hear anyway, scared into intensely reviewing the logbook by the presence of now two superiors.
>The whales had changed the course of the Empire of the Isles, to be sure.
>Inventions from the Academy utilizing the oil of the beasts heated homes, drove ever more powerful ships of war and commerce across the seas, and improved life in myriad other ways.
>Yet the idea of slaughtering the vast animals to drive the Empire into the future never sat quite right with you.
>You’re no radical, obviously, like the ones refusing to live in a flat with oil furnace heating or arrested trying to sabotage a refinery.
>Those are the worst. No reasoning with them into peaceful cooperation, have to take them all down forcefully.
>But the little things, like lighting your cigarettes or wearing perfumes with the creatures’ essence, you couldn’t stomach.
>>
>>29759702
>A particularly strong gust whips through the street, howling at the guard hut’s open door and breaking you out of your contemplation.
>Silver gives an apologetic half-smile and tucks the lighter into his jacket.
>“Yeah, sorry about that Sol,” he apologizes, quickly correcting himself to “Ma’am” as you glare at him.
>Glancing again at the guard in the corner, who was absorbed in a particularly interesting ink stain in the log, you soften you gaze at Silver.
“I’m sorry Silver.”
>You were quiet enough that it was nearly lost in the tinny noise of rain hitting the roof.
“I’ve got to maintain an image now in front of the enlisted. Good order and discipline, and all that.”
>Silver chuckles a little. “There she is, always the straight arrow of the squad. No surprise they commissioned you, though you’d have made an excellent Overseer.”
>You roll your eyes at this, not even wanting to think on the Abbey of the Everymare and making it clear to Silver not to start.
>Fortunately, Silver takes the hint and straightens his uniform.
>“Well, I’d best be on with my rounds, Ma’am,” he says, rendering such an impeccable salute that you knew it was part jest.
>Regardless, you return your old friend’s salute and cut, sending him on his way.
“Carry on, Sergeant.”
>>
>>29759729
>Silver disappears into the night, the sound of his hooves on cobblestone fading into the falling rain.
>Suddenly aware that your own hoof feels warm, you glance down to realize that your cigarette had burned through most of its useful length.
>Raising it, you take one last pull, holding it for a couple of beats and letting it heat your lungs before releasing.
>You locate an ashtray on the counter and stub the cigarette out before dropping it into a waste bin and turning to the door.
>Before you cross the threshold, the guard looks up from his log.
>“Stay safe out there, Ma’am.” He offers, a trace of worry in his eyes.
>You regard him for a moment before nodding.
“You too, Corporal. Stay awake.”
>Steeling yourself, you step into the street once more, cold pricks of water stabbing you lightly through your jacket.
>He was right to be nervous, you think as you pass a “Wanted” poster hanging on the wall of the hut, the portrait identical to the others that dotted every street, square and alley in the city.
>The watches were doubled for a reason.
>>

I feel like the armor in Secto's story has been simplified to aid in mass production for the war, so the large ornamental mohawk would give way to a simple raised ridge to protect the pony's ears from sword blows or the like. Just my idea though, I never could figure out a helmet design that provided real ear protection while not ruining hearing ability or being stupidly oversized though.

>Anon nibbles her neck and Careful takes Safety's head in her hooves their eyes locking, Safety relaxing into Careful's touch as she sees the reassuring smile on the amazing attractive cream colored mare, bringing her into a soft fleeting kiss on the lips that only leaves her desperate for more.

>you watch the three on the bed, enraptured by their movements, you had been offered the choice to join them on that very bed, but justified nerves and a lingering worry of your sexuality kept you from accepting.
>they had been wholly understanding and insisted you should stay, you agreed with your cheeks burning but your curiosity burning stronger still, to be included in a sexual activity even if it was merely watching was more than you had ever had chance at before
>your love for romance novels and well, porn, should have prepared you for this but here in the flickering candle light the love making ahead of you is so much more powerful to behold than anything your imagination had created
>and it is love making, Careful and Anon flow over Safety and each other like water, soft touches kisses and small wispers of love trailing their movement
>and nothing could have warned you of the scent, the smell of sex fills the air, your own musk adding to the heady intoxicating mix from the damp seat cushion below you.

>Stubborn, the both of them.
>Another sigh escapes you.
"I just... I saw my suit, and it brought back some unwanted memories."
>Those big pairs of eyes continue to watch you.
>You know they're waiting for more.
"The suit was given to me by my Dad, who kind of just... disappeared, one day."

Excellent scene!

>your love for romance novels and well, porn, should have prepared you for this but here in the flickering candle light the love making ahead of you is so much more powerful to behold than anything your imagination had created
>and it is love making, Careful and Anon flow over Safety and each other like water, soft touches kisses and small wispers of love trailing their movement

And that there was pure artistry. Well done, Anon. WELL. DONE.

>>29764936
Speaking of art. Here comes Blu poking at the feels.

>...and you're quickly covered in worried fluff.

>fluff up
fucking adorable

>>29764936
>"...I'm sorry, Anon."
>You shake your head and let out a soft sigh.
"Well, it's not like you guys had anything to do with it."
>"Still."
>Brave gently nuzzles you with her cheek, and you slowly find it hard to have anything but a smile on your face.
>It helps, knowing that these two are so eager to listen and comfort you like this.
>Not that it changes what happened, but it's definitely helps you in dealing with it.
>But really, the feelings come from the fact that you DON'T know what happened.
>You just...
>Vannie rests her head on your shoulder, then wraps her good wing around you.
>Yeah, don't think about it.
>Move on, this is your life now.
>Another sigh escapes you, and you focus instead on the warmth around you.
"I'm sorry, you guys. I didn't mean to worry you or anything."
>"Worry us? Anon, you can't just help us out and not expect the same treatment. You're not supposed to put yourself behind us."
>Vannie nods in agreement.
>You slink your arms around them, running your fingers through their coats.
"You two are the best things to ever happen to me. You can't just expect me not to."
>Vannie scans your face for authenticity, then starts to tear up.
>Brave's ears flop over, and she scoots closer before hugging you again.
>You can feel your circulation get cut in every single place she's holding, but you don't care.
>Vannie kisses you before resuming her original position, teary eyed with a big smile on her face.
>Already being a bit close to the edge of the tub, you move a bit and lean against it, hugging them while the water around you gets cold.
>But you don't care.
>You're with the girls, they're warm, and they're happy.
>Staying here forever is definitely an option you wouldn't mind taking.

Big update

>What had started as a drizzle had strengthened into a steady downpour while you were in the guard hut.
>The rain stains the grimy gray of the Damwall an ugly, streaked black, the soot of a thousand chimneys washing into the gutters and forming foul puddles in the less well maintained streets.
>Those streets make up more and more of the city as the year draws on, you think morosely as you cross the street to avoid one oily pool.
>Public works had all but collapsed in the spring, lack of labor and fear of entering the worst parts of the city throwing a massive wrench in the gears Damwall.
>You pause, hearing the characteristic whine of a public broadcast loudspeaker spooling up nearby.
>”Attention Damwall citizens. All signs of sickness must be reported to the City Watch at once. Hiding signs of sickness will be considered treason against the state. Additionally, use of magic beyond basic levitation by unicorns is forbidden to all citizens, and offenders will be tried by the Abbey of the Everymare for heresy.”
>The stallion’s deep voice fades away as the loudspeaker audibly winds down, leaving you staring at the ugly metal device dangling high above the street.
>The things had been erected shortly after the Lord Regent assumed power.
>Shortly after the Empress was… assassinated.
>Looking back, it really was impressive, in a morbid sort of way, how quickly everything had gone to the Void.
>>
>>29766362
>Rats had always been a part of life in the city.
>You cram ponies in, stacking them on top of each other in cheap apartments, putting them to work in dingy factories, and naturally you get vermin feasting on the refuse of society.
>One day though, you just sort of notice that the rats look a little bigger than they usually do.
>Bolder too, not scared into the dark by approaching hoofsteps.
>Then they start biting.
>You swear at them and chase them off, then a few days pass and you wake up sweating, head pounding.
>You try to get on with your life, but the queasiness comes, the vomit and mucus.
>You stagger to the hospital, only to be turned away at the door because the wards are full of ponies just like you, and the doctors don’t know how to help.
>Curfew is put into, and the Watch starts making door-to-door visits, asking if anyone inside is sick.
>Sometimes they leave with no one, sometimes a pony or two at sword and pistol point.
>These days they usually leave with bodies.
>Often they were already dead, wrapped in oilskin as much to protect the guards as to hold the corpse together until it can be disposed of.
>Occasionally they came out filled with pistol shot, having gone down charging the guards madly.
>The Plague affected the mind as well as the body, rotting reason and making its victims no more than incoherent, shambling messes, open sores becoming home to swarms of flies.
>>
>>29727713
Where's her butt-tattoo?
>>
>>29766371
>The muffled tinkling of distant breaking glass makes you aware that you’ve once again drifted into a careless trance.
>“Stupid pony”, you think inwardly, now completely soaked from standing in the middle of the deluge.
>You swivel slowly, ears doing their best through the din of rain to pick out any further disturbances as you squint through the gloom.
>Seeing nothing, you shift your gaze to the upper floors of the buildings lining the narrow street.
>Though not cordoned off yet, the Market District did have many now vacant neighborhoods such as the one you were standing in.
>The aftermath of recent and newly zealous attempts by Lord Regent to keep the Plague out of unaffected areas, evacuating entire buildings to containment zones at the first and slightest sign or rumor of infection.
>Hearing and seeing nothing, you slowly advance up the street, checking that your sword and pistol are properly positioned and reassured by their familiar weight on your harness.
>You come to an alley barely a meter wide between two buildings of obviously different architecture, the result of two competing construction firms with no proper communication, no doubt.
>Scanning the alley, you nearly pass it by before you see the light.
>It was barely perceptible; a faint bluish glow emanating from a small window on the third floor of a shabby inn and casting itself on the brick of the adjacent structure.
>You quickly whip your head up and down the street, seeing nothing, your black, braided mane falling from under your helmet.
>Unconsciously you reach up with a foreleg to tuck it away again, smearing it and your collar with foul mud.
>The light remained in the window, no flicker of movement or further noise reaching you.
>>
>>29766381
>Running for backup would take too long; the last guard hut was three blocks away, and the corporal there gave you the impression of being more skillful with pen than sword.
>Not that investigating strange sights alone in the dead of night was a particularly intelligent idea either.
>Double back to the hut and involve a green recruit, possibly missing an opportunity to investigate something that may well be out of his depth anyway, or go in now and face the risk on your own?
>Tough decisions, Solemn, that’s what you’re an officer for now.
>Your heartbeat begins to thud heavily in your ears, notifying you that you’ve been holding your breath for a little too long.
>You heave a sigh and think for a second longer, then approach the stoop of the inn.
>It’s boarded well and solidly shut, a sloppy red “X” condemning the building to vacancy for the indeterminate future.
>Working your way around the side and into the crevice, easing your hooves through the stream rushing through it, you emerge at the back of the inn next to a well rusted fire escape ending with an unsecured door on the second floor.
>You groan internally, not impressed with the structural integrity of the staircase, but place a tentative hoof on the first steep.
>To your surprise no squealing of stressed metal issues from it, and you gradually shift the rest of your weight onto the stairs and begin your ascent.
>Arriving at the door, you inspect it carefully.
>Rough holes left by nails pried from the jamb, drops of red paint on the landing, door surface brighter where boards covered it, scuffs and indentations from where it appeared to have been kicked.
>Closed up like the rest of the building, but someone gained access to this place, recently.
>>
>>29766390
>Standing to one side, you sit back on your haunches and draw your pistol in your right hoof, cocking the action with your left before you reach across and tenderly try the doorknob.
>The door swings open with no need to turn the knob, the mechanism likely destroyed by the forced entry.
>Slowly and smoothly, you transition around to aim your weapon through the doorway, painting the interior with a precise arc from well outside the threshold.
>The lack of functioning streetlamps in this neighborhood meant your eyes were already well adapted to the dark, and you detect no movement in the space beyond.
>You step inside, muzzle swinging first to the corner opposite the door, then sharply behind it as you ease it closed behind you, the noise of the rain fading to a distant static.
>You find yourself in a hallway, dim light from a window at the front of the inn seeping down it and casting long shadows with the dark electric lights along the ceiling.
>A staircase to the first floor descends into darkness on your left, and its counterpart leads away to the third on your right.
>Statuesque, you remain in the cover of the staircase, ears swiveling as you sniff the air delicately.
>Musty, moldy.
>Dank, especially dank.
>All the smells of structural decay, but none of the disturbingly unique odor of putrefaction, and hopefully no Plague with it.
>The doors along the hallway are all closed, and no detectable sound emanates from behind them, nor does anything filter up from the murk of the first floor.
>Your fur bristles at the thought of continuing upward without clearing the rest of the building, but the sun would be up and you’d be missed at watch changeover if you tried to do so quietly.
>A scuffling from above catches your breath in your throat, and a thin stream of dust emanates from the wood above you.
>>
>>29766411
>So, you’re still here after all.
>You shift over to the upward bound stairs, gluing yourself to the inner wall, avoiding the noiser middle of the steps like the Plague.
>Heh.
>No time for jokes, Sol, you stupid pony.
>Testing each one before committing, your progress is painfully slow, made more complicated by your keeping the pistol trained in front of you.
>It’s dark here, no windows, the faint luminescence of the whale oil cartridge in your weapon only just visible through a narrow gap in the ejection port.
>Hunting the whales, extracting their oil, refining it, shooting ponies with it.
>Ponies killing whales killing ponies, the absent, distant thought that crosses your mind every time you have to draw your pistol.
>Eventually you run out of stairs and extend the pistol slowly, cringing at the barely audible thud as its muzzle finds the door you were expecting.
>Repeating your performance at the fire escape, you press yourself against the wall next to it, feeling for a door handle.
>This one feels solid so you give it a twist, just enough to unlatch it. Dim natural light filters through the crack, and you aim your pistol at it before nudging the door fully open.
>Another hallway greets you, identical to the first, save one thing.
>The right-side door at the far end has several chairs and nightstands pushed up against it, all identical, furniture from other rooms.
>Beneath the door bleeds a pale blue glow.
>>
>>29766425
>No getting though the tangle of furniture in front without some serious noise, you think darkly.
>Recalling the exterior of the building, you wonder about a ledge running under the windows.
>Silently hoping that whoever evacuated the building hadn’t cared to lock interior doors, you move to the closest one on the right.
>Mercifully, the knob turns easily and the door opens with only a miniscule creak, which nonetheless causes your ears to lay flat along your helmet.
>You pause once more and look down the hall, hearing and seeing no change.
>Inside the room is a bed, still neatly made, the worn but well-kept furniture all where it was left while occupied.
>The only items out of place are a feather duster, laying in the middle of the floor, and box of cheap soap, crumpled on one side as if dropped suddenly.
>The window is your target, and it appears big enough to fit through.
>On inspection it is unsecured, apparently no real expectation for squatters to climb three floors up for refuge.
>You undo the latch and swing it open, only then realizing that the rain had stopped.
>Damnit.
>So much for blending in with background noise.
>Sure enough, there’s a stone ledge barely wide enough for your hooves side by side, running all the way to the blue-lit window at the far end.
>The ledge is just as slick as it would have been in the rain, and you spare a glance at the alley.
>>
>>29766453
>You’re not afraid of heights.
>You’re afraid of falling from heights.
>Easing the action of your pistol down, you holster it and take a few calming breaths before stepping out on the ledge.
>Two steps down the ledge you consider, not for the first time this night, what a stupid pony you are.
>You should have left your harness in the room.
>Your pistol, holstered on your left flank, scrapes along the wall, and to avoid it catching on each window frame you pass you must lean your body away from the building.
>Simultaneously, your sword swings away from your right side in its scabbard, threatening to pull you down into the alley with it.
>The muscles in your legs are on fire, working overtime to keep you performing the balancing act.
>The blue glow edges closer, yet may as well be miles away.
>Sweat mixes with rainwater to plaster your jacket to your form, the harness’ normally comforting weight feeling like an anchor, straps burrowing into your skin.
>Finally, you arrive next to the window, fully realizing another mistake, the weight of your stupidity nearly collapsing your legs beneath you.
>You can’t turn around.
>>
>>29766457
>Desperately you scan your surroundings, furious at yourself for not thinking of this contingency.
>The roof is too far away, and you’d never be able to grasp its slippery edge anyway.
>The building opposite the inn is much taller, likely a warehouse of some kind, with no windows of its own.
>Shit.
>Only two options remain open to you: The long fall into the alley, or the occupied room that you came here to investigate.
>Not ready to leave this world just yet, you opt for the window.
>“Time to do my job,” you say to yourself, internal voice dripping with acid.
>You peak your head around the window’s edge, just enough to glimpse the room through smudged panes.
>The source of the light is immediately obvious, a collection of oil lanterns of various sizes, gathered before a small wooden table and emitting their strange glow.
>An item sits in a place of reverence on the table, and you strain to make out just what it is exactly.
>Before you can do so, your blood freezes in your veins.
>A figure slumps before the table, silhouetted by the lanterns, sprawled in what appears to be slumber.
>You can’t see its face.
>You don’t need to, because you know who it is.
>The reason the entire city is on high alert.
>The one from the posters.

>>29768602
Well a Vannie was night shift, Brave was days before this got messy and it worked, so it would depend on if they are going to remain assigned to Anon as to if time off and stuff would be a problem

Thanks for the kind words anons. I've got an idea of where I want to go from here, but it's gonna take some work to figure how it's going to play out. Also gonna try to proofread more carefully, since without fail I find a misspelling or an extra word left over from a deleted line as soon as I post.
>>
>>29768602
>>29768841
At this point I can think of a few of possibilities.

Ideally, The are both assigned to day shift and a new night guard might only be needed when Anon and the girls go to sleep.

Or, They are on a staggered day shift schedule so that there is an overlap of coverage vs days off. Hopefully they get at least one day off together with Anon. Again, a night guard only needed when they retire for the night.

Or, they do alternating Day/Night overlapping 4-on 3-off but that would suck because it would be rare when they'd all have a day off together and not to mention the fact that the one coming off of night shift is gonna want to sleep in at least for part of the day off.

>Anon's there, Careful might be there.
>...you don't really understand how your mere physical presence there will help either of them, but you understand it's the kind of thing ponies like, even if you're not sure what to say to them.
>May as well not waste time: you take wing and climb to fifty yards, high enough to clear most rooftops but not so high you get tumbled or frozen by the wind.
>You effortlessly reach a dozen times the speed of a brisk trot on the ground.
>You can't stay up indefinitely in this weather without risking frostbite or ice clumping in your feathers, but a quick wing across town only takes a few minutes.
>The snowflakes hitting your face are admittedly a nuisance, though.
>You should have brought your goggles with you.
>Where... where are they, actually?

>Moondancer's shop!

>The shop's incomplete bell makes a hollow "ping" as you come through the door.
"Hello?"
>"Safety! Hello."
>Before you know it, you're in a hug.
>Having somepony suddenly in your space takes you off-guard, but, as it's Moondancer, you don't mind.
>Hugs from cute mares are nice.
>Even if their sweaters are a little scratchy and musky.
"I, uh. I."
>Moondancer releases you and smiles at you.
"You're not upset?"
>She looks over her shoulder at the mess that formerly was her store.
>"Not with you, Safety. It's thanks to you, Careful and Anon that we could get help at all."
>>
>>29772977
>You cast your gaze down.
"If only we were of more help ourselves."
>"You were the difference between them making a mess of my place and them destroying it beyond repair."
>She shakes her head.
>"I'm going to be reminding you of that constantly over the next few weeks, aren't I?"
"Oh. You are?"
>She raises an eyebrow at you and doesn't reply.
>Is she going to say anything?
>...
>Oh.
>You must have misunderstood something.
>Dummy.
"I-"
>"Uhh, sorry! I just meant, uh, I thought... assumed, well, you and me and Careful... and Anon too, right, we'd continue to hang out. Unless you're busy. Or you don't want to. That's fine."
>Wait - is SHE the confused one now?
"Oh, I'd love to! That would be great."

>She sighs with relief.
>"Great! I thought I might've... presumed... oh, nevermind. What's up? I'm glad you came by, but there's not much to do here yet but clean, and, well, I need to plan..."
"Plan?"
>"I can't just put everything back where it was, because some of the things can't be put back. Most of the books weren't damaged, but the ones that were, well, it wouldn't do to glue them together."

>She steps back.
>You realize she's been standing over a circular, deep-violet glyph freshly inscribed on the floor.
>"I'll be drawing a few of these. Do you know what they're for?"
>You shake your head.
>"It's a spell, a complex one. Coltzmann's Entropic Reversal."
>>
>>29772981
"It undoes 'entropy?'"
>You wrack your brain for whatever you learned about that in your school science courses.
"That's... not easy. Right?"
>"It's physically impossible. In nature, all systems tend towards higher entropy - states of disorder - over time."
"Mm-hmm."

>You try to think on that for a moment.

"I... might need an example."
>"Like... a raw chicken's egg, right? If you put it in a box and shook the box, you can be sure you're gonna open it to find a yolky mess. But if you start with the cracked egg, the shell and all, you're even more sure it's not gonna spontaneously 'un-break' and turn back into the pristine egg. The cracked egg is more disorderly."
>You think you get it, though you can tell Moondancer's done her best to really dumb down the concept for you.
"So... a page of a book can be torn up..."
>"But the pieces can't be un-torn from each other! That's right! You're getting it."
"Not even by somepony really handy?"
>"No matter what they do, it wouldn't be the page it was before the tear. Not EXACTLY."
>>
>>29772983
>You nod.

"So it's physically impossible, but not magically impossible?"
>"The more absolute the physics, the harder the magic. And thermodynamics are inviolable."
"Then how could the magic work?"
>"It's not a true reversal, just very, very close to one. The closer you get, the harder the magic gets. Exponentially harder. It's why necromancy is only in fantasy books: nothing short of a true reversal can put things back exactly the way they were before death. Even enough just to make a zombie."

>You've really got her going now.
>She's adorably excited to explain this.

>"... But for things like book pages, you don't need to get that close to a true reversal. A page just needs to convey words. Not every single subatomic particle needs to be perfect. Little nicks and tears can't even be told from normal wear-and-tear."
"So you're not really breaking physics, just getting close enough to it that nopony could tell the difference?"
>She shrugs.
>"Not without a microscope, I think."
>She looks out over the wreckage again.
>"It will still take a long, long time. Especially for this much stuff. A professional wizard could do it in an hour. As for me... I KNOW the spell, so I can cast it. But it'll take hours a day. Weeks."
>She gets quiet.

"... That long?"
>"That long."

>Then she perks up.
>"But I won't bore you with any more of that. Why'd you stop by?"
"Ah! Um... my goggles?"
>She smiles.
>"In the back room where you left them. They're really cool!"
"Th-thanks!"

I'm glad we've gotten to see the result of what happened in the book shop, and that Moonie is both okay and is happy to view Safety as a friend.
Safety thinking of her as cute is sweet too.

Still Moonie was worried before over funds and the continued running of the store, this whole affair can't have helped that any.
I hope autism horse and book horse can look after each other while our other two mains are indisposed.

I think it's far to early to call anything. Safety hasnt even been shown interacting with Mel, Honey we've yet to get a actual read on, RR is getting the hearths warming gifts ready and has no time to lose his wizard status. Moondancer, eh, I mean maybe, but they only just graduated to friends, the same for Anon. Careful is the strongest link Safety has thus far but we don't know Careful's feeling on the matter, and she would likely take hurting Anon into account.
All that aside I don't care who sexes who so long as its well done, a janky shoehorned in sex scene would spoil this really enjoyable green

easy solution a fitting sex scene in is to write a scene with Honey whoring herself out to random pent up stallions, desperate to earn enough to at least feed her foal. But unknown to Honey one of the others see her "on the job"

>Once the water did start to get cold, you got to cleaning.

>Without a word, he moves over and flops onto the bed.
>He rolls onto his back and extends his arms to both of you, offering either a hug or a cuddle.
>But you go for a cuddle.

>Vannie does the same thing, clearly needing to forget the reminder you both gave each other earlier.
>He gently rubs the outside of your ear, causing them to instinctively flick.
>You can't help but lean into him.
>Compared to hooves, it feels like you're getting a spa massage every time he pets you.
>His hand moves down over and caresses your cheek, where he surprises you with a kiss.
>You wish you could summarize what you feel into words, but it's more than difficult to.

>He had arrived a few months before the Plague, causing a stir in the city and gaining the attention of the Empress herself.
>Whether that was his initial goal or not, who can be certain.
>He came from the distant kingdom of Equestria, on the far side of the world, arriving via a Griffanian merchant vessel; Equestria had no real diplomatic ties to the Empire, no need for them.
>They were an inward looking, shore-bound nation, and cared little for finer points of maritime commerce and statecraft; besides that, they were a land rife with heretics, practicing all sorts of magic most foul and constantly flirting with destruction by forces beyond this world.
>At least, that was the official state line; isolation approved by the Abbey of the Everymare as a safeguard against heresy, the influence of…
>Well, if you believe in those sorts of things.
>You recall the countless newspaper headlines and rumors swirling about the Empress’ murder, how he had been found alone with her body, blood soaked and maniacal; calling him at the same time an Equestrian agent, a bloodthirsty monster, a spirit sent from the Void itself to bring about the Empire’s undoing.
>And you are about to confront him.
>Determined not to overlook anything else and confident that he is asleep, you scan as much of the room as you can through the window.
>He lay with his back to you atop a mattress taken from the bed, curled towards the heat thrown off by the burning whale oil.
>Beneath the window is a small desk, the accompanying chair wedged at an angle beneath the doorknob.
>A small pile of glass jars and metal tins containing pickled vegetables and potted whale meat, among other things, is stacked near his head.
>With the Plague’s drastic effect on work force and an early winter approaching, some whaling companies had made the decision to expand their oil refining operations to include packing and selling meat.

.
>>
>>29785854
>There were no laws against the consumption of meat in Damwall; before the Plague, its seaport had drawn visitors of many lands and cultures, and ambitious ponies had seen to their needs.
>Perhaps these same ponies now found work alongside the whalers, and as hunger grew into a serious problem among the city’s poor, they had found new ways to continue their enterprise.
>Fortunately for you, the City Watch still gets decent enough rations; enough not to starve anyway, and many in the Watch had warmed up to the new food source as a supplement to them.
>You are rather short and thin for an earth pony, but have proven on more than one occasion that you can hold your own as a guard.
>“Scrappy,” as Sergeant Dust had described you once.
>Eyes flitting over the room once and then twice more, you see nothing more of interest, aside from the object on the makeshift shrine.
>It’s white, with a few screws and strips of twine holding it together, and about hoof-sized, if a little larger.
>Though, your hooves are a little small, you suppose.
>The black hardened oilcloth boots covering your rear hooves and reaching up to your hocks were the smallest size available, but you still had to take them to a farrier before wearing them.
>Focus, Sol.
>Unable to make heads or tails of the strange object, you begin considering a plan of attack.
>You’ll need a way out, first of all.
>The mess of furniture outside the door leads to the conclusion that he had entered the room by the same method you were about to, after constructing the barricade.
>Clever, noise would warn him of an intruder and give him plenty of time to disappear, or prepare an ambush.
>Not too difficult to get out of from the inside, though; just un-wedge the chair and pull the door inward, shove the first piece of furniture out of the way and take off.
>And that’s how you would do it.
>>
>>29785916
>You’ll have to make your way to the door undetected, remove the chair, and open the door.
>Then you could level your pistol at him, give a swift kick to the nearest chair or nightstand, and be ready and waiting when he comes to.
>You’d shoot him if you had to.
>Wouldn’t you?
>Though the occasions for drawing your weapon had been many, you’d never once had to shoot anyone.
>Most suspects feared lead more than law, it seemed.
>You had always been a solid performer, never assigned the penal duty of the dead counters, those sent to clear out the condemned districts.
>Never had to put down a weeper, Plague victims so far gone that blood stained their cheeks in matted streams.
>You grit your teeth and set your jaw, nostrils flaring as you draw a steadying breath.
>You would do whatever it takes to bring him in.
>This window, like the previous one, is latched, and you steady yourself against the building as you reach a foreleg to your belt, bringing out a small knife.
>Its tip fits snugly between the frame and the window, and you nudge it beneath the latch, applying a gentle upward pressure.
>The latch refuses your action, and you pull upward incrementally harder until…
>“snick”
>The nearly imperceptible sound hits you like the report of a cannon, and your knife soars upward out of the window frame, the sudden lack of resistance throwing you off balance.
>You release the knife to plant your hoof on the ledge once more, wobbling as you watch the glint of metal recede into darkness and disappear with a distant splash.
>Heart hammering sickly, you cringe to look back to the window, expecting the face of the Empress’ killer to greet you.
>The figure hasn’t moved, crumpled on the mattress beneath a cloak.
>Waiting a moment for your heart to slow, you slowly press a hoof to the window and test it.
>It begins to swing open before you feel resistance and quickly back off, looking downward though the frame.
>>
>>29785952
>A tall, empty glass bottle is sitting on the desk beneath the window, its lip just higher than the bottom edge of the frame.
>Had you gone any further, it would have tumbled from the desk.
>It had to be moved, but you couldn’t risk the thing tipping over, and an idea strikes you.
>You reach back underneath your helmet, pulling your braid around in front of you and regarding the silk tie holding its end together.
>It was old and frayed, a gift from your mother when you had been a filly, and a reminder of happier times.
>Silently promising mother you wouldn’t lose it, you pull an end loose, your mane falling around your shoulders in a fashion you normally find supremely annoying on duty.
>With the help of your teeth, the tie is soon fashioned into a loose loop, easily wide enough to snag the lip of the bottle.
>Taking fabric between your lips, you lower yourself on your forelegs, easing the loop through the gap at the bottom of the frame and against the side of the bottle.
>Now for the hard part.
>You begin maneuvering the loop with movements of your lips, trying to twist it upwards and over the top of the bottle.
>You’re bad at it.
>Very bad.
>Vague memories of teasing at your lack of dexterity with a cherry stem float in your mind as you narrowly miss the bottle yet again, eyes flicking upward toward the prone figure in the room, the absurdity of the situation draining your self-confidence.
>Finally, you snag the top of the bottle and freeze, sweat stinging your eyes despite the wind chilling your damp uniform.
>Now missing the preferable knife, you draw your sword silently, angling its blade downward through the window frame to nudge the bottle.
>Teeth clamped tight around the tie to hold tension on the bottle, your sword pushes it off balance and you gradually lower it on its side.
>Sheathing the sword, you are ready to enter the room, and swing the window open fully.
>>
>>29785979
>Steadying the bottle with a hoof to prevent its rolling off the desk, you hastily stuff the silk into your jacket, lowering one leg at a time onto the desk and then, finally, the floor.
>You shut the window, not willing to risk a sudden gust of cold air waking the murderer.
>The first thing you notice is the hissing.
>A low guttural moaning noise permeates the room, accentuated by a higher hissing, like steam escaping from a leaky valve.
>Your ears swivel towards the shrine, the source of the sound.
>Magic.
>The noise causes fur to bristle all over your body, and you begin to wonder if some of those rumors had truth to them.
>Too late to turn back now; magic or no, Void spirit or not, you had to face him.
>Body lowered and hooves spread wide, you test each floorboard as you work your way around to the door, more than once having to backtrack around an unsteady, potentially noisemaking area.
>You move around the perimeter of the room, keeping to the shadows and as far away as possible from the mattress, and soon you reach the door.
>Sitting back, you take the wedged chair in both forehooves, lifting up and outward.
>The legs scuff as the chair comes out, causing you to wince and your attention to bolt once again to the mattress.
>Incredibly, he is still asleep, and you notice for the first time the soft, steady snoring emanating from the cloak, nearly hidden by the unnatural song of the shrine.
>You set the chair clear of the door, twisting its handle and pulling it inward with a low squeal of the hinges.
>In the hallway, a nightstand with a chair atop it is between you and a clear pathway out of the building.
>Turning toward the room, you draw your pistol, its wood and steel feeling heavier than usual with the weight of what you are about to do.
>>
>>29786028
>You check its action, ensuring it is clean and the whale oil cartridge is seated firmly in the chamber before cocking it.
>The cloak stirs at the mechanical sound and you drop into a steady shooting position: hindlegs spread wide, weight shifted forward, left foreleg bent to absorb recoil, right locked out straight towards the target.
>Heart pounding, you stand wide-eyed, pistol shaking slightly as you wait.
>The snoring begins again.
>“Alright Sol, time to go through with it,” you think as you prepare for the single most poorly planned moment of your brief life.
>You take a half step back, tail brushing against the nightstand, and slowly raise a hindleg into kicking position.
>Count of three, two, one…
>You release the pent-up energy in your leg through a thunderous kick, hoof connecting with the nightstand as you hear and feel the cheap, flimsy furniture shatter backwards into the hallway.
>The assassin finally jolts awake, tangled in his cloak as he turns toward you and freezes at the sight of your weapon and what you hoped was a stern, commanding expression on your face.

I really like your descriptions. Very vivid. Since it's not some sort of alternate edgy Equestria I'm liking the setting too.

You got a pastebin?

Thanks Whiskey. I saw the game in the bargain bin at Walmart. Might just pick it up. I was kinda thinking it was Anon but wasn't 100% until the barricade/trap discriptions.

>>29779293
>...But how would you get past your father?
What happened? Why is she avoiding her father? I sense glimpses of Brave and Vannie origin stories.

Great updates and good world building. Looking forward to more.
>>
>>29786801
I 100% recommend the game. Takes about 8 hours to get through the story at a decent pace and I'm currently sitting at 60 hours total. So much replay value, fantastic level design that rewards lots of different play styles, and the Knife of Dunwall DLC is arguably better than the base game. No cute ponies sadly.

Her father was an old guard that didn't think the guard was the place for a mare.

>Really, you haven't felt this happy since... well, ever.
>And though you miss your blanket, Anon has made as a very satisfactory replacement, in the meantime.
>Especially because blankets don't really cuddle you, or pet and brush your mane until you sleep.
>But you digress.
>Every time you're with him, you notice that the rest of the world just seems to fade away.
>Not literally, but for instance, you haven't even stepped hoof into your apartment since you've been with him.
>-Not that your job really allowed it much anyways, but still.
>You always forget you even have an apartment when you're here with him, and you may as well just be living in the castle because of it.
>You pause.
>...You haven't been doing your job.
>Sure, that thought brushed past your mind plenty of times, but if both of the Princesses know- and they obviously do- about your relationship, then they might investigate more into what you're doing.
>They'd let you go in an instant if they saw how lax you've gotten in your duties.
>-Not that it'd stop you from seeing Anon, but still.
>You tense up at the thought, but his fingers running through your mane makes it difficult to worry.

>"Yeah, as much as I like sleeping, passing out in the middle of the day probably wouldn't look good to anypony."
>Anon wears this big goofy smile on his face, then kisses both of you on the forehead.
>"Alright, cool beans!"
>He seems as happy as you feel.
>...It's nice.
>More than nice, really.
>It's the best thing you could ask for.
>He sits up, and Vannie hops off the bed to do exactly what you need to.
>You get up, hop off and shake yourself dry where you can.
>Nothing like a wet dog, but enough to get your coat and mane extra dry.
>You run your hoof over your mane again, enough to straighten it out, but not to keep it from being so poofy-looking.
>But you like it like this.
>Straight, but voluminous, and soft to the touch.
>Makes you look nice and orderly- a big jump from how you looked this morning.

>...This morning.
>There's no doubt everypony in that stupid dining hall knows about your relationship here.
>And though there's no rules on it not being allowed, nopony really does it.
>Your mind drifts to the kinds of things everypony here is probably saying behind your back.
>None of it is very good...
>You shake your head and try to focus on putting your armor on.
>You shouldn't worry yourself with what others may think.
>-Though kind of difficult...
>Shaking your head again, when you look up from putting your last shoe, Vannie's looking over at you.
>But you recognize that look.
>She's studying your face.
>You put on the blank, serious expression of the Guard that you've practiced.
>She narrows her eyes in response, and stares at you for a moment.
>Finally, she sighs and walks over to you, clad in her armor.
>"I can't read that look, I'll give you that. But you know I saw you beforehoof."
>A sigh of your own escapes, and you nod while you continue to put your armor on.
>Anon's over by the bed, putting his torn up clothing on for whatever reason.
>She nudges you with a hoof.
>"What's up, then? What's on your mind?"
>You shake your head.
"Nothing."
>She deadpans and stays silent.
>When you don't budge either, she sighs again.
>"Whether it's small or not, I know how bad it is to bubble things up. Don't do it."
>You finish adjusting everything and put your helmet on.
>The look on her face, just like every other time you've tried to keep something quiet, is full of worry.
>Though you've seen it plenty of times, it reminds you who you're speaking to.
>You feel your look soften.
"Just thinking about this morning. What everypony must be saying after all of that..."
>She nods in understanding, and puts a hoof on your withers.
>And for some reason, right next to Anon, she's still the only pony who can help calm you down with a simple touch.
>Hay, if it weren't for her, you certainly wouldn't have made those eight days.

Thanks anon, first time doing something like this. Here's the pastebin:

It's a good name. Fitting for the world.

>>29795029
Maybe Captain Gold should pay Anon a visit. Explain the situation Brave & Vannie are in from a RG perspective considering the display Anon put on at breakfast. Just some friendly advice from one friend to another.

>Hay, if it weren't for her, you certainly wouldn't have made those eight days.
Awww, Vannie looking out for her herdmate.

Thanks for the update Blu.

I agree with >>29795287. Keep the name. Let the chance to put them in the story come organically. Maybe the building they're in used to be part of a warehouse that shipped alcohol and tobacco?

>But it still feels great.
>"Don't worry about what those jerks have to say. They don't know you like me and Anon."
>You pause and return the hug.
>Her words do help, but they don't silence the thoughts in your head.
>You don't think anything can.
>But it still helps.
"Thank you..."
>From behind her ears, you can see Anon, all dressed up and looking at you both with a smile on his face.
>Seeing his smile brings one onto your face, and Vannie does the same when she sees yours.
>Only with these two...
>When you break the hug with her, you can't help but feel great again.
>It's just contagious.
>"So, you two beautiful things ready to hit the road?"
>"Aren't we just supposed to walk on it?"
>Anon stops, as if in shock, then grins.
>"Well where's the fun in that?"
>He walks towards you both, and before you can protest, he hoists both of you up and puts you on his withers.
>Your forehooves dangle in front of him, and your hind legs sway lazily behind his back.
>You make sure to cover yourself with your tail, but aside from that, you focus on enjoying the ride.
>With how badly your armor can make any regular stallion quiver under its weight, you're still really impressed to see him able to carry you both like this.
>He doesn't seem to be struggling with it at all.
>So while he carries you both around, you decide to scan your surroundings.
>You lookout both for danger, and anypony who could happen to see you like this.
>Out of sight, out of mind, right?
>While you keep an eye out, the rest of the trek through the castle breezes by.
>You're sure it helps to know where the hay you're going, which is another reason why you're glad Anon's doing the walking.

THE BIG STORY DUMP YOU DID BEFORE HAS SPOILED ME
>>
>>29786064
>Your command is punctuated by a crash which, after all the sneaking you went through to get here, is earsplittingly loud.
>Anonymous, finally snapping out of his daze, has stumbled backwards away from you.
>His cloak wraps tightly around his legs, sending him careening into the desk at the window and knocking the glass bottle to the floor with a terrific shattering.
“Halt! Stand fast and keep your hoov-”
>Your latest command is interrupted, the murderer speaking for the first time.
>“Pl, please, don’t shoot me, I swear nothing is what you think!”
>Not at all what you expected from an otherworldly assassin.
>You remember the standing orders included with his arrest warrant.
“I am escorting you into state custody, you are to keep completely silent during this time!”
>Anonymous has his… hands, you remember them being called, in the air above his head, but now brings them to a pleading motion in front of his body.
>He is still standing, and you note nervously how he is easily two heads taller than even the largest ponies.
>He towers over you.
>But you’ve got control of the situation, you remind yourself.
>“Please, you have to give me a moment to-”
>Now it’s your turn to cut him off.
“Shut up! And move away from that shrine!”
>You flick your pistol away from the shrine before returning it to Anonymous, realizing now that you can still hear its unnerving song.
>You’re just a Watch officer, it’s not your place to question things like this.
>You’ve never seen or heard anything like this, however.
>Parlor tricks sure, but real, tangible magic?
>Besides, you’d come just a little too far tonight to just let the Abbey hide it away.
>Your eyes narrow at the, admittedly pathetic looking, assassin.
“What were you playing at here?”
>Anonymous blinks.
>“What do you mean?”
>Playing dumb.
“You know damn well: that shrine, that... thing on it, the song!”
>His eyes widen in his haggard face at the last part of your outburst.
>>
>>29802644
>“You mean, you can hear it?”
>You were expecting a trap, something devious from him to distract you.
>What you got instead was pure surprise, something you’ve seen enough of in the Watch to recognize at a glance.
“Should I not?”
>Careful Sol, remember where you are, who he is, what you are supposed to be doing here…
>Anonymous’ hands come lower, and you give a sharp nod upward of your weapon, returning them above his head.
>“I tried to hear it, built it the way it should be, but I can’t.”
>His surprise slowly fades, his face morphing in the dim blue of the room to disquieting enthusiasm.
>“And you can.”
>Hands still above his head, he begins to slowly circle the perimeter of the room, and before you can stop him you are between him and the shrine.
“Halt!”
>He does so, but the panic you were feeling was beginning to seep into your voice.
>He heard it.
>“I don’t mean you any harm, you have to believe me; just listen to the rune for me. What does it sound like?”
“I, I said stop talking. I’m bringing you in, now put your hands behind your head!”
>He refuses your order; worse still, his legs begin to move, and he slowly advances toward you.
>Your trigger hoof is shaking profusely now, and your own legs begin to stumble backwards, trying to maintain distance between yourself and the looming assassin.
>As you beat your slow retreat through the room, you realize something.
>The song is getting louder.
>What had been incomprehensible and faint now fills your ears, and you almost believe that you can make out individual words, chanting underneath the low, sad wail.
>Your eyes are saucers.
>Wariness had been your dominant feeling toward the killer before entering this room.
>Now you are terrified.
>His eyes are focused past you, however, staring at the shrine with an eagerness you’ve never seen.
>Catching yours, he motions with a hand in a nearly friendly manner, inviting you to turn around and look at it too.
>>
>>29802697
>The song encourages you.
>You still can’t make out what it’s saying, but it goes deep inside you, wrapping around your heart and squeezing so you can hardly breathe.
>Chills rack your body, cold sweat matting your fur as you step to one side of the shrine, keeping Anonymous in your field of view.
>You have to look.
>Finally, you do.
>The rune is made of whalebone, fractured in several places, and held together with strips of metal and twine.
>It is flat and round, with glyphs resembling concentric circles inscribed on its center.
>The song is overwhelming now, and you slowly sit down on your haunches.
>What are you doing Sol.
>Your left foreleg comes off the floor, rising to the tabletop.
>You look back to Anonymous, fear overflowing as tears well up in your eyes.
>He nods at you encouragingly.
>You freeze a few inches from the rune, your head clearing, if only for a moment.
>You are a guard, tasked with bringing down the most dangerous criminal in the city, now face-to-face with him and dealing with powers banned by the Empire.
>And you can’t stop yourself; the rune calls to you.
>Your hoof moves the rest of the way to it, feeling its smooth surface; it's warm despite the season, comforting.
>The room begins to spin, and your vision goes hazy before you can pull away.
>You feel yourself falling as if from a great height, tumbling endlessly, the last sound you hear being the cracking report of a gun.

>The door's ajar.
>You let yourself in.

>The scene takes your breath away.
>Canterlot Hospital isn't your typical sterile-white joint.
>It's closer to a home for the retired, but without the dusty and dated furnishings.
>The room's decorated like one might decorate her own home, albeit with only the most rudimentary furniture: a table large enough for a few ponies to have lunch, two armchairs, and a double-sized bed, upon which Careful lies, sprawled out, towards the headboard and over the scarlet bedclothes.
>A flickering-flame illusion covers the heating vent opposite the bed, lighting Careful as though she's seated besides a cozy hearth.
>An IV stands beside the bed, leading down to her shoulder, where it's taped, fixed to her skin.
>Her head lies on her pillow, facing the door.
>Her eyes and her fur around them are dark and moist.
>She is, or has been, crying.

"C-Careful?"
>You'd never have expected that seeing her like this would affect you so.
>But, then, you NEVER expected to see her like this.
>As silly as you know it is, you guess you just assumed that Careful doesn't cry.
>She's strong, beautiful, condident - a badass, really.
>On the few assignments you've been on together that have turned ugly, she's never wavered.
>She's kicked a few ponies into this very hospital.
>For none of them did she show any concern greater than she once did returning an overcooked eggplant parmesan to a downtown take-out joint, the evening before your first stakeout together.
>Yet, here she is.
>Crying like a scared filly.
>She's only a pony.
>All ponies are.
>You need to remind yourself of that more often.

>>29800750
Oooh, that would be interesting especially considering the situation as it stands in 'Brave & Vannie'.

Come to think of it; I believe some of the dirigibles in 'Magic & Mud' function as bombers. They carry ordinance too heavy for Pegasi to carry alone.

To all the writefags & drawfags:
I wander a handful of green threads in /mlp/ but none have ensnared my imagination as the ones here. My heart and mind feel at home with the fine mares found here in the RGM thread. Thanks again for sharing your creations. It's a wonderful escape I look forward to at the end of my day.

We're all dead really Anon, our human lives so short and meaningless on the scale of the universe, indeed would even something as tiny as our planet recognize a change were one of us not to exist? Probably not. So how bout you stop whining and take a moment to be grateful for what you have.
>>
>>29802856
Careful must be aware that Anon is alright by now, and while I get her not wanting him to see her like this surely she would hold a brave face to at least say hi? She suffered a breakdown yes but him being alive is still a boon to her mental health and the same could be said for Anon who would obviously like to see her.

it was just the shock from seeing him like that and all the blood.

shes got herself some ptsd. it will just take some time to get over.
>>
>>29804086
No doubt Careful is first on Safety's mind which is why she checked in on Careful first. Given where part 2 left off it is likely that Safety offered to go check on Anon on Careful's behalf in an effort the help Careful's mental state.

>>29805410
I'm sure Careful's Doctors would let her know Anon is recovering but it's possible that Careful has been catatonic up until Safety walked in.

>>29805649
In deed. Safety mentioned that the amount of blood loss Anon suffered would have killed a pony. Hopefully Safety will return quickly to let Careful know Anon is ok, recovering and asking for her.

>The air is thick and heavy, and just overall warm
>Likely from all of the prisoners here
>And now you add to that warmth
>How could you let this happen?
>The whole world counts on you, and you get captured so easily?
>You let your face rest in your hooves for a bit as you contemplate your failure
>”Keh, I know just what yer feelin’, kid. But don’t let yourself get beat up over it.”
>Sliding your hooves down your face slightly so your eyes peek out, you finally get a good look at your cellmate
>It’s… Not a pony like you’d originally thought
>>
>>29807359
>Powerful looking paws rest upon the ground
>Talons that could flay skin like paper are gouging a mark into the wall
>And a beak clicks as it speaks to you
>”Lucky they didn’t mess ya up too bad. A pretty face goes a long way in this place.”
>It was a gryphon
>Even sitting down he was considerably taller than you
>His beak was pockmarked and chipped slightly near the tip
>Scars ran jagged into his chest, preventing any feathers from growing
>His right eye was cloudy and white, showing blindness or at least partial blindness in it
>You look down at yourself, noting your new “outfit”
>A prisoner’s jumpsuit
>Your armor, uniform, and weapon nowhere to be seen
>”Wonderin’ where yer stuff is, eh? There’s a lockup where they keep most of the belongings.”
>Your stuff…
>Your eyes widen in realization
>The situation itself had distracted you
>You didn’t have the artifacts
>You spring to your hooves and immediately run to the bars
>Pulling and grunting, you try and use your magic
>You knew however that it would be futile
>The magic limiter on your horn stops the aura halfway up, where it then fizzles out, giving you a headache
>You groan and rub your temple
>”Keh, slow down kid. Don’t hurt yerself before they even put ya to work.
>You turn around, staying far away from the gryphon
>You weren’t allied with them
>In fact they weren’t allied with Prance either
>They were mercenaries for hire
>Usually it just so happened that the Prench forces and their allies hired them
>Equestria, well…
>They frowned upon that sort of war profiteering apparently, as you’d never seen an allied gryphon
>>
>>29807366
>To top THAT off, their track record wasn’t exactly the best
>Not “officially” being soldiers, well…
>They weren’t exactly the most wholesome bunch to be around
>No town is ever really the same after they go in and “liberate” it
>He raises an eye brow at you and gestures to your cot
>”Take a seat, kid. Don’t worry, I’m on yer side. We’re both prisoners here.”
>Tentatively you trot back to the cot, without taking your eyes off of him
>”What, don’t trust me, eh?”
“Not after seeing what your kind are capable of if paid enough.”
>He chuckles softly, though very little sound comes out
>”And rightly so. We gryphons ain’t exactly the friendliest. And one ya met in a prison too doesn’t really bode well.”
>He facial expression turns serious and he leans closer
>You instinctively pull back a bit
>”But take it from me, kid: If you don’t have someone to watch your back in this place, you won’t last very long.”
>As untrustworthy as gryphons were, the one sitting in front of you brought up a good point
“We may as well get along then… Since we’re cellmates.”
>”That’s the spirit!”
>The gryphon’s mood seems to lighten somewhat
>He extends a claw to you, expecting you to shake it
>”Name’s Gallan.”
>You look at his claw, then cautiously extend your hoof to meet it, to which he vigorously shakes your hoof
>His grip is strong
>And you can tell he’s making a concerted effort not to scratch you
“I’m Rewind.”
>”Hm. Don’t talk much do ya Rewind?”
>Not when you just meet a ruthless mercenary gryphon you don’t
“No, not really.”
>He seems to study you for a moment
>”Well, I’d get as much rest as you can now. They won’t be any more merciful with ya just cos’ you’re a pony.”
>You heed his advice and lay down
>>
>>29807370
>That night, you dream for the first time in a while
>Or rather, you dream and remember it this time
>Maybe the Princess of the Night had something to do with it
>You didn’t think that was it though
>She doesn’t have the time to deal with the dreams of hundreds of thousands of her subjects now
>The dream itself is peculiar
>You’re standing (or at least you think you are) in a gray expanse of nothingness
>It stretches on in every direction, seemingly endlessly
>Any noises made echo on for eternity until you can no longer hear them
>As you look around you become acutely aware of a sensation on your hooves
>You look down and see
>Yourself?
>It’s like you’re standing on a mirror
>But it has the properties of liquid
>That’s what you were feeling on your hooves then
>A liquid mirror
>You’re looking into your reflection, noting a few things that you’d been curious about
>Your magical aura seems to be flecked with sparkles of gold
>And the very outer edge of your iris seems to be tinged a similar color as well
>Though it could just be a product of your dream, you’ve examined your magic before in the waking world and noticed the golden sparkles
>As you peer closer into your reflection, other things in the background begin to appear
>The telltale alabaster buildings of Canterlot fade into view
>Right as your footing gives way and you fall straight into the mirror liquid
>It obscures everything
>It rushes into your ears, mouth, and nose
>You panic and flail desperately, trying to surface to breathe
>You didn’t want to die by drowning!
>A few seconds later you’re on solid ground, sputtering and coughing
>>
>>29807282
very nice
>>
>>29807386
>Strangely, you aren’t wet
>In fact the expanse of grayness is nowhere to be seen
>You’re standing on a sidewalk in Canterlot
>The sun is shining
>Some Pegasi are moving clouds about
>A pair of Unicorns are chatting over a novel
>An Earth pony pulls a cart nearby
>Birds chirp in the trees
>And a lilting breeze ruffles your mane slightly
>You can even feel it upon your coat, as you weren’t wearing armor here
>It was…
>Idyllic
>Peaceful, even
>Which was why it felt almost wrong for you to stand there
>The gentle breeze gets something caught upon your hoof and you look down
>It’s part of a newspaper
>As you lean down to grab it, you catch a glimpse of the headline and your mouth opens in surpise
>However before you can get a good look, it’s blown away
>You quickly trot down the sidewalk
>You needed to know if what you’d just seen wasn’t your imagination
>You come upon a stack of newspapers at an empty stand, being weighed down by a rock
>Picking it up, you can confirm your suspicions
>And as you read it, you wonder if it wouldn’t have been better for you to remain ignorant
>Right there on the front page was the headline which read:
>”Kingdom of Prance ushers in era of peace”
>Did you do it?
>Stop the war?
>Or was this just a cruel joke played by your sleeping brain?
>But Prance being the one to opt for peace?
>That was something that would never happen in the world you live in…
>As you go to flip the page to see anything else in the paper…
>>
>>29807389
>You wake up
>It’s not a violent awakening either
>You just open your eyes
>And stare at the ceiling
>”Mornin’ Rewind. Ya sleep well?”
>You could tell him the truth
>But it was much easier just to say
“Yeah, despite the circumstances.”
>”Well that’s good.”
>A long period of silence follows his statement, during which you sit up and lean against the wall
>You felt as if you should probably say something in return
>If only to break the oppressive silence
“How long have you been in here anyways?”
>Your eyes wander over to the tally marks upon the wall, of which there are numerous
>”Keh, longer than I’d like. At least a year by now. Damn near surprised I haven’t starved to death in this place.”
“Starved?”
>The burly gryphon nods
>”Us prisoners don’t get as many rations as the guards do. Some of these guys don’t even get to eat. Not like these damn ponies care anyway. We’re as expendable as can be, and it’s up to them whether they want to put you in the mines… Or use you as firing practice.”
>The gryphon spits out of the cell onto the floor
>”They always got a supply of prisoners comin’ in too so they never want for a workforce… Or entertainment.”
>Now you know why your Sergeant told you it’d be better to off yourself before you get captured by the Prench
>”My advice to you, kid? Try n’ make yerself scarce. Ya DON’T want any of the guards takin’ a “liking” to ya.”
>You shudder in disgust at those words
>Gallan pats you on the back
>”On the bright side, ya don’t gotta worry about any other prisoners. That’s where I come in.”
>You raise an eyebrow at the gryphon
>”Just think of me as a… Body guard. No charge of course.”
>A sly grin creeps its way across Gallan’s face
>>
>>29807398
>You narrow your eyes at him
“What’s the catch, Gallan.”
>”Dealt with my kind before, have ya kid?”
>He chuckles once more
>”Don’t worry about it. When the time comes to return the favor, you’ll know.”
>You definitely didn’t like the sound of that
>You hated not knowing something that could very well be important
>But you didn’t really have a choice at this point
>You watch multiple guards file past your cell, and two of them eventually stop at yours
>There’s a blaring alarm that sounds, holding a single, grating note
>The cell door opens with the two guards holding rather odd weaponry leveled at you and Gallan
>The one on the left gestures with his head, cocking it slightly to tell you both to come out
>”Well kid, time to head out to the yard.”
>Gallan nonchalantly walks out of the cell
>You have no choice but to follow, as you’re certain the Prench guards weren’t averse to using force on you
>You and Gallan trot along, being led by and followed by the two guards
>”The guards here are the most no-nonsense ponies I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealin’ with. Can’t even take a joke.”
>The guard behind Gallan strikes him from behind with the back side of the odd weapon
>Gallan clicks his beak and seethes
>”See what I mean, kid?”
>The fact that he kept calling you “kid” was starting to irk you a bit
>He’s probably older than you, but you’re no kid
>The guards lead you through the winding corridors of the Prench prison, until you’re escorted through a door and into the light
>>

>You squint your eyes and shield them as they adjust
>The pain from it recedes
>And you’re met with…
>Well
>Pretty much what you expected
>There are ponies of all races
>Zebras
>More gryphons
>Even a minotaur or two
>There’s a massive tower in the center
>Gallan nudges you with his elbow
>You glance over at him and he points at the one tower in the middle
>”That right there’s the main guard tower, kid. If anything starts going down, I recommend ya hit the dirt and quick.”
>He alters his pointing slightly
>”They got turrets lining pretty much all sides of that tower, just in case any prisoners get… Uppity.”
>Gallan starts to walk along the grass, and you follow him
>Somehow you got the feeling it was safer to be nearby
>Maybe it was because of the looks you were getting
>Gallan looks to be on his way to the weights
>He is, before a another imposing gryphon blocks his path
>He’s only slightly taller than Gallan, but you can clearly see the it doesn’t seem to faze your cellmate
>”Who’s the new meat, Gallan.”
>”Looks nice doesn’t she? They tossed ‘er in last night.”
>The way they’re talking about you doesn’t bode well
>It making you uncomfortable was an understatement
>”How much?”
>Gallan smirks
>”I dunno Gyphrus, I think I’ll be keepin’ this one.”
>You’re having trouble discerning whether or not Gallan was serious, or just acting
>Was this what he meant by “returning the favor”?
>”The hell am I talkin’ about paying? You still owe me from last time. Pay up and hand over the pony.”
>You take a step back, which Gallan stops short
>>
>>29807413
>”Yeah, but you see Gyphrus, I just don’t really care. We already settled our debts.”
>The other gryphon, whom you’d come to know as Gyphrus, tilts his head to one side
>”That’s the wrong answer you little runt.”
>Could you really call Gallan “little” though?
>You see Gyphrus glance at the center tower, then back at your cellmate
>”We’ll be settling this tonight, then I’ll be taking that pony off your claws.”
>Gallan however doesn’t seem to be intimidated
>”We already went through this song n’ dance once, bud. Last time I recall I kicked yer ass. But by all means, we can have another go. But don’t be too down when you gotta hear the pony slut moaning my name tonight.”
>Your entire body goes numb for a second
>You heard that right
>But Gallan can’t possibly be serious, can he?
>He’s a mercenary, so he’s capable of anything for the right price
>And gryphons are territorial by nature
>But you’ll be damned if you have any gryphon claiming you as territory
>(You were probably already damned just by being in this prison in the first place)
>The other gryphon looks directly at you
>”I’ll be seeing you real soon, pony. Just you wait.”
>As Gryphrus walks away, you can hear Gallan let out a breath he’d been holding in
>That weasel was bluffing his cool act the whole time!
>”Phew! Man he’s a persistent one. Scary too when he wants to be.”
>And here he was, talking all normally as he didn’t just call you a pony slut
“What in Celestia’s name was all that about!?”
>Gallan closes his talons around your muzzle and looks around
>Satisfied that no one else heard, he lets go
>”Keep it down, kid. It’s just an act, I’m not gonna rail ya after I beat the tar outta Gyphrus.”
>You narrow your eyes at the gryphon that was currently treading on thin ice
“Right. What’d he mean by “settling it tonight”? I thought he was just gonna try and start something here and now.”
>>
>>29807418
>Gallan beckons you along and starts talking
>”Latched onto that eh, kid? I could tell ya, but it’ll be easier just to show ya tonight. Now spot me.”
>You hadn’t even noticed that he had made his way over to the bench with you in tow
“What? Oh, er… Fine, yeah.”
>As you stand at the head of the bench, hooves poised underneath the bar, Gallan starts to speak again
>”Ngh, alright kid. I’m gonna level with ya.”
>Gallan easily pushes out reps as he speaks
>”I’ve pretty much been waiting for someone like you to come along.”
>You look down at him quizzically
>Could he maybe know about your magical ability?
>Maybe he knows more than he lets on
“Why’s that then?”
>”It’s ‘cos you’re a Unicorn. Been waitin’ for quite some time for those fire-obsessed Prenchies to toss one in.”
>So he doesn’t know then
>That’s good
>You don’t want to give the mercenary too much information, lest someone put a price on your head and he be the one to collect
“So why do you need a Unicorn specifically? It’s not like I can use my magic with the inhibitor on.”
>Gallan grunts softly before placing the bar back on the rack and sitting up
>”You sure ask a lot of questions. Alright Rewind, I’m only tellin’ ya this because I think I can trust ya. Seein’ as how Miss Warden shocked the livin’ daylights outta ya when you got here.”
>That’s odd that he’d trust you from that alone
>”I take it you want outta here too, right? Well then you and I are gonna break our way outta this prison.”
>So that’s why he needs a Unicorn then
>He must have a plan that needs one
>Something in the back of your mind was nagging you however
>Like where his previous cellmates went
>You’ll keep quiet about that little detail
>For now
>>
>>29807426
>”I been plannin’ this breakout for as long as I been in here, and all signs point to you.”
>You raise an eyebrow
“Why are you telling me this all of a sudden? I only got here yesterday and you trust me enough to spill something like this?”
>Gallan taps the side of his head
>”Thought about that after ya went to sleep last night.”
>He’s started curling one of the dumbbells
>”I figured since they roughed ya up to the point of unconsciousness, that ya had somethin’ they wanted. And you wouldn’t be alive if ya just gave it to ‘em, so that was outta the question.”
>He switches claws as he tries to explain his logic to you
>”Ya can’t be a plant, ya don’t look Prench and ya don’t act the way they do. Plus, I caught a glimpse of your uniform when they dragged ya in.”
>He’s more observant than he lets on it seems
>You’d had him pegged as muscle, like most of the other gryphons
>Though you’d forgotten how cunning they could be when money was involved
>Or in this case, freedom
>”So ya weren’t a plant, the Prenchies wanted somethin’ outta ya, and they hadn’t killed you which means ya hadn’t squealed. I suppose it’s takin’ a gamble, but from that alone, I figured you’re the type of pony that can keep her mouth shut.”
>He stands up from the bench, towering over you as he leans in
>”These Prenchies made a mistake tossin’ ya in with me. They don’t think I’m the kinda gryphon that’d mastermind a breakout like this. So if you can keep yer mouth shut like a good little pony, and do exactly as I say, we can both get outta here. Sound good?”
>You aren’t too fond of the way he words some of the things he says to you
>They’re rather… Aggressive
>>
>>29807434
>A while later, back in your cell, Gallan begins to explain more of his plan to you
>He’s satisfied with the fact that you can be trusted
>And you’re happy to have a potential way out of this place
>Not that he isn’t as well
>He seems as if he’s practically shaking with anticipation
>”Right then. I don’t wanna spend more time than I already have, so we’re gonna get right to it when we get the chance.”
>The gryphon glances sidelong at the cell door
>He lowers his voice to where only you could hear it
>”Check the bricks behind the toilet, but be discreet about it.”
>You stretch out and lay down on your cot, giving you a nice angle to see what he was referring to
>It wasn’t immediately noticeable at first glance, but after looking at it for a few seconds, you realized that they weren’t being held their by the plaster anymore
>They’d been stacked upon each other to give the illusion that it was still structurally sound
>”See it? I can’t remove any more bricks, else I risk drawing attention to it if they look. But thanks to that, I can’t fit through it.”
“Let me guess: I can though?”
>He nods, carving another gash into the wall with his talons
>”Bingo. It’ll be snug, but when you’re in the walls, you can get pretty much anywhere.”
>Your eyes wander over to the brick façade once more
>”Hey, eyes over here little pony. Don’t give it away.”
>You snap your gaze back to the gryphon
“I take it that hole’s not your endgame. What am I using it for?”
>”I’ll tell you tonight when I’m done wiping the floor with Gyphrus.”
>And that was the other thing
>Gallan seemed confident enough, and you assumed from the way he spoke that he had already faced off against the other gryphon before
>But the fact that you could potentially end up in a worse position than you were now if something went wrong leaves you nervously fidgeting in your bed as you try to get comfortable

And with those trips conclude this update! The pastebin will be updated shortly

I apologize to those that were eagerly awaiting my update for so long I promise to try and shave down the time between updates
I wanna stay relevant too

side effect of me being to lazy to clean up my tint layers, but fair point and noted

Great work! I finally got current with the Guard Mare thread and have the chance to say yours is one of my favourite stories.
>>
>>29807645
Well shit anon, thanks a bunch. It means a lot
>>
>>29807282
This is the best, Careful's Charge is probably my favorite green here so I always love seeing art of it. Thank you drawfriend
>>
>>29807758
Thanks man, keep the art and green coming, your and the other creators creativity is what makes this place worth coming to
>>
>>29802723
>When you come to, it’s dark.
>You feel groggy, as though you overslept and missed the better part of a day.
>Blinking away the cloudiness in your mind, you look about, realizing you are still in the abandoned hotel room.
>Anonymous is gone, and judging by the quiet, so is his rune.
>The lamps are cold, their oil having long since burned out.
>Standing up, you feel oddly light, quickly realizing why.
>You are completely naked.
>Your head swings rapidly one way and then the other in a futile search, the loose mane sweeping around you serving as a heartbreaking reminder that you’ve lost your mother’s silk hair tie.
>You should feel worse about losing all your officers gear, being without weapons, but this small fact is like a dagger to the heart.
>The sorrow wells up in your throat and you clamp your jaw down hard, trying not to let your lower lip wobble.
>Guards don’t cry; officers, especially.
>The tears fall anyway.
>Your head sinks down, and you sit there in the dark room, hunched over in miserable contemplation of your night.
>You lost your gear, your most precious possession, and the most wanted criminal in the Empire, all on one incredibly stupid decision.
>You’d be out of the Watch for certain, kicked to the street; in these trying times, there was no tolerance for substandard guards.
>What would you do then?
>>
>>29808484
>You stay like this for a while, until you feel sufficiently empty inside, then decide to make the slow trek back to your station.
>You stand and move to the door, now closed, and come to a halt.
>A familiar blue glow is seeping through, this time from the outside.
>You look over the room again, eyes searching for something you may have missed.
>Anonymous’ food is gone, as you might have expected, but the furniture has been returned to its proper places.
>The window you came in through is gone.
>Not missing its panes or boarded up.
>Smooth wall stands where the window had been, as if it never existed.
>A familiar feeling of dread begins to rise.
>You turn back to the door, now the only way out of the room, and consider the door handle for a long time.
>Lifting a hoof to it, you wrap it up and turn, the mechanism clicking open, and pull it in.
>You are greeted by nothing.
>The light is harsh at first, but even as your eyes adjust your brain refuses to believe what you see.
>Outside the door, a vast blue-gray expanse, something like a cold winter sky, stretches on forever.
>Where the hallway should be, a rocky ledge like a seaside cliff leads from the doorway for about a meter before dropping off.
>You step through the door, hesitantly peering down over the edge.
>Your stomach churns and you quickly back away.
>There is no ground below, only the same infinite expanse falling away forever.
>The ledge leads away around the outside wall of the room, rising like a ramp before disappearing around the corner.
>The only way to go.
>>
>>29808507
>It’s plenty wide enough and, with no other options, you start up it.
>You arrive at the top of the rocky trail, ending up on the roof, a tiny corner of a hotel floating in the…
>Void.
>The word comes to you, and you wish it hadn’t.
>The beginning and end of all things, as the Abbey of the Everymare described it, to which the world would return at the end of days.
>Are you dead?
>The question didn’t really matter, you suppose; you’re here now.
>And you’re not alone, you realize with a start.
>A figure is seated at the far end of the roof, its back to you, legs dangling over the edge.
>The shape is instantly familiar; it’s not a pony.
>A human, wearing a brown jacket with short, dark hair.
>Your voice quavers, any courage having left your body long ago.
“Anonymous?”
>“No,” comes a soft, disinterested voice that boarders on slight amusement.
>“Though I suppose for you it was a fair assumption.”
>It pulls its legs up from the edge, pushing up with its arms and rising to full height before turning around to face you.
>A youthful, expressionless face greets you, and the strength goes out of your legs.
>Solid black eyes gaze into your own, and the breath leaves your lungs in a whimper that you can scarcely put words to.
