"Ugh, no time! We need to move!"
-
>You snatch Trixie by her wrist and drag her with you
-
>"H-hey! Unhand Trixie!"
-
"Not now, shut up and run"
-
>The four of you duck into an alley just in time for the cops to show up
-
>"We need... To stay low"
-
>Luna looks pale, just barely keeping up
-
>Pinkie swoops up Luna in a bridal carry
-
>"I got ya," Pinkie says
-
>"Thank you"
-
"Luna, tell us where to go"
-
>"Keep going forward. Make a left, then right--"
-
>And like that, you move onward guided by Luna
-
>It takes quite a while, having to stop multiple times to avoid the police patrols, unfriendly gangs, and others
-
>You can't even keep track of all the twists and turns you take
-
>More than once, you see yourself returned to the same alleyway you've been through
-
>Maybe you shouldn't have trusted Luna...
-
>At some point, you crouch next to a pile of discarded plastic arms and other fake limbs
-
>Your party lays low waiting for the group of pimps to finish haggling over illegal slut sleeves
-
>You see a spotlight flickering at the dark haze overhead
-
>It's partially masked, forming a crudely drawn Twilight cutie mark
-
"What the hell is that?"
-
>"It's the calling card of one of the more prominent vigilantes out here," Luna says. "An exiled ice-caster Twi-cop sleeve, taking on dangerous thugs"
-
>"The Masked Mary-Sue," Pinkie whispers. "No way..."
-
>"Let's just say the rumors that make it out of Low River are more... exaggerated when it comes to Mary-Sue's exploits"
-
>Trixie looks at the spotlight, starry-eyed and clearly admiring it way too much
-
>"That's so cool," Trixie mutters
-
>"Don't be so impressed," Luna says. "Those vigilante types can be vicious to other vigilantes when it comes to protecting their turf"
-
"What, do they write bad reviews about each other on Welp?
-
>Luna shakes her head
-
>"Worse. We've personally witnessed two such vigilantes fight to death over the right to protect a street corner"
-
"Sheesh"
-
>"Hah, Trixie could beat other wannabe-heroes if she became a masked this-or-other," Trixie says, throwing punches in the air. "Trixie is invincible"
-
>"Quiet," Pinkie hisses
-
>The party stays dead silent as one pimp cranes her neck towards the pile of limbs you're hiding behind
-
>She raises an eyebrow and rejoins the others pimps in fierce negotiation
-
"Okay, we're risking it if we stay here. Where to next, Luna?"
-
>Luna points at a dead end
-
>"That way. Just over the brick wall"
-

-
-
>The party walks up to a nondescript basement entrance tucked near the entrance of a half-collapsed building
-
>You see a homeless Gilda sleeve nearby, slavsquatting comfortably and wearing a tattered looking tracksuit
-
>"Please wait here," Luna says, then approaches the Gilda sleeve
-
>She stops several yards from the homeless Gilda, then makes a series of gestures
-
>Sign language?
-
>Gilda stares for a while, takes a long hit from her cigarette, and flashes a bunch of signs
-
>Luna nods, then waves at the rest of the party to come forward
-
>A couple of sleeves, a Fluttershy and an Octavia, appear out of nowhere and intercept you
-
>"Oi mate, your Glim-Pads," Octavia says in a cockney accent
-
"What?"
-
>"Oi said, your Glim-Pads"
-
>"Do what she says," Luna says. "They're with Glimmer-sama"
-
>You and Pinkie reluctantly hand over your Glim-Pads to Octavia
-
>Octavia looks at Trixie
-
>Trixie blushes and rubs the back of her neck
-
>"Trixie is, uhm, financially challenged..."
-
>Fluttershy waves an antenna at Trixie, up and down, like she's blessing her
-
>"Yep, she ain't got one," Fluttershy says in a surprisingly deep voice
-
>The three of you stare at her
-
>"What, you've never seen a Flutterguy variant before?" She says, annoyed
-
>Octavia plugs the Glim-Pads to a cable sticking out from her backpack
-
>"Just taking a transponder copy, luv," she says, unplugging them and handing them back to you. "There, yer gud to go"
-
>And just like that, Octavia leaves, hauling her backpack along
-
>"If you had anyone tracking your location," Flutterguy explains, "then they'll be chasing Octavia instead"
-
>"That's pretty damn fancy," Pinkie says
-
>"This way please," Luna urges. "The enemies of Glimmer-sama have eyes everywhere"
-
-
--
-
-
>You enter through the basement entrance and into an underground command center of some kind
-
>The windowless walls are lined with equipment, shelves, and gear hangers draped with guns and swords
-
>You see a dozen people in total, talking in hushed tones and typing away at their computers
-
>In the far corner, you see a purple-and-teal haired girl, her head adorned with a beanie
-
>She's dressed in a dark reporter's vest, a tight fitting shirt, a pair of leggings with stylish cut-outs, and chic boots
-
>She's really cute, in a hipsterish way
-
>She turns her head and locks eyes with you, then sees Luna entering behind you
-
>Her face brightens up with a smile
-
>"Luna!"
-
>She gets up from her desk and walks up to Luna, her arms spread open
-
>"Glimmer-sama!"
-
>Luna runs forward like a little girl, practically diving into Starlight's arms
-
>"OH, I was so worried, so worried," Starlight says, hugging Luna tightly
-
>They share a brief kiss together
-
>Nothing sensual, just a peck of the lips
-
>But it's still... kinda weird
-
>"Glimmer-sama," Luna says, outstretching her arm towards you like she's royally presenting someone. "This is the woman you wanted me to look for. Dash-sama"
-
>"What a surprise," Starlight says, tilting her head slightly and smiling sweetly. "It's nice to meet you"
-
>Princesses, she cute
-
"L-likewise"
-
>"And who are the rest, Luna?"
-
>"Pinkamena-sama. She's a good friendly of Dash-sama. And--"
-
>"The Grrrreat and Powerful Trixie is humbled to meet you in person," Trixie says, bowing deeply like a stage magician. "Heil, Glimmer!"
-
>You pinch the bridge of your nose
-
>Pinkie's cheeks puff up as she tries not to laugh
-
>"We're um, not *that* kind of organization..." Starlight trails off
