Expiry: Never

  1. "I dunno, man"
  2. >Starlight frowns a little
  3. >"Rainbow, if you lead our mercenaries to battle, I agreed that I'm going to surrender myself to you. I will keep my word, if you're worried about that"
  4. "No! I trust you. Kinda. I mean, a lot, kind of. And uh..."
  5. >Sweat begins to form on your forehead as you cast your spaghetti far and wide
  6. >The elevator chimes softly as Luna walks out of it
  7. >Her outfit looks more goth than yesterday, complete with frills and fishnet gloves adorning her arms up to her elbows
  8. >"Hello everyone," Luna says, then stops. "Um, why are you girls standing around? Are you having a fight?"
  9. "Oh hey look it's the girl of the hour"
  10. >You shift aside, sensing an opportunity
  11. >Luna smiles awkwardly
  12. >"Ah, were we expected at the briefing? We apologize for our tardiness"
  13. "Oh no no no, it's just that you are here. And Starlight is here. And you two need to get a room-- NO, I didn't mean it like that! I need to give you two some room, is what I tried to say--"
  14. >Pinkie raises an eyebrow at you
  15. "Wew, I'll be back in a bit. I need to powder my tits!"
  16. >You nearly trip on the chair as you shuffle your way out, eyes fixated on your feet
  17.  
  18. --
  19.  
  20. >The fresh air fills your nostrils as you go through the creaky, rusty basement door
  21. >There's nobody standing guard outside today, not even that homeless gopnik Gilda
  22. >You make your way down an alleyway, constantly looking behind your back like a totally suspicious person
  23. >Once out of sight, you whip out your Glim-Pad
  24. >You're just about to tap on Sunset's contact when you receive a call from her
  25. >You sigh, dreading the conversation you're about to have
  26. >Swipe, tap, accept call
  27. "Moshi moshi? Dashie desu"
  28. >"That's cute," Sunset says, her voice flat. "Where have you been?? I've been worried sick about you!"
  29. >You groan
  30. "Whatever, mom"
  31. >"Don't give me that. It's okay for friends to be worried about each other"
  32. >Are you friends with her, though?
  33. >You say nothing
  34. >"Dash," Sunset continues. "Seriously, I was looking at your Location Garter updates and I saw several of you on the map for the whole night. I thought you had been kidnapped by some high-tech thugs or something! Where are you?"
  35. "I can't tell you"
  36. >A pause
  37. >"You found Starlight, didn't you?"
  38. "Well, kind of"
  39. >"Are you in captivity?"
  40. "No! She treated me pretty good. and I--"
  41. >You nearly brag about how you totally jerked of to Starlight and then came all over her thigh, but decide that it's not the smartest idea
  42. "--have Pinkie with me too. We're kinda working for Starlight for now"
  43. >"Okay."
  44. >Sunset mutters something on the other side, probably talking furiously to a tech or an advisor nun or something
  45. >"I... Wow. I need to take this in for a moment."
  46. "I didn't betray you or anything"
  47. >"Okay," Sunset says, pausing for a moment. "Then what is your plan?"
  48. "Starlight agreed to come with me if I do some missions for her. Some do-good stuff about helping the people of Low River or something"
  49. >"First, do you trust her? Second, what does this job entail?"
  50. >You chew your lip for a moment, thinking
  51. "I trust her. She seems like she has her convictions in the right places, not to mention a whole group of people supporting her and looking up to her"
  52. >You think back to how Luna's eyes glittered in admiration talking about 'Starlight-sama' and Starlight's 'Glimmer of Hope' blog page
  53. "I think she'll keep her word. If not, I can just Rainbow Dash my way through!"
  54. >You strike a pose even though Sunset can't see you on the phone
  55. >Sunset giggles
  56. >Dash, you just struck a pose didn't you?
  57. "M-maybe"
  58. >You're so cute. I wish I could see you right now..."
  59. >Sunset's motherly gaze flashes in your mind
  60. >You shiver in half disgust and half embarrassment
  61. "Okay mom, sheesh"
  62. >She giggles once more
  63. >"Okay. So what does Starlight want you to do? It's nothing extreme, I hope?"
  64. "Wh-what makes you say that?"
  65. >"Escapee or not, she *was* a TwiCorp lackey for many decades."
  66. >True, but...
  67. >You remember what Starlight had told you about herself and her work at TwiCorp
  68. >And the sense of dedication you got when she talks about helping the people of Low River District
  69. >Princesses, should you tell Sunset about everything?
  70. >Would it even be a fair and HONORABU fight if you did, leaving Starlight completely blind while letting Sunset know everything?
  71.  
  72.  
  73. >What now?
