"I want to see Starlight" >Luna's eyes glitter >"Really?" "Yes really. Take me to her" >"I don't know," Pinkie says in bored monotone, her hair deflating even more than normal. "Sounds to me like this Starlight girl knows a lot about you, but you know nothing about her. Hell, I know nothing about her" "Heh, the unknowns just make it more exciting and sexy! Imagine the look on Suns--" >You swallow the next few syllables "--that sunstruck idiot's face when the girl chasing her shows up at her doorstep!" >Pinkie looks sideways dejectedly "Don't worry, you're coming with me" >The shadows disappear from her face and you swear you saw her canines get sucked back into her lips >"Heh, it's not like I had anything else going on anyway." >Pinkie slams her fist on the bar top and yells "Berry Punch, enable kiosk mode. I'm going out for a while" >A six-foot long vertical stick on wheels unfolds itself from the wall >It beeps affirmatively and rolls to where Pinkie stood when you first entered the bar "Hey, how come you actually man the fort when you've got a working shop bot?" >"Really, Dashie?" >Pinkie runs her hands up to her chest and pushes on the cups of her tight corset, jiggling her sizable breasts "Yeah, okay. Good point" >Luna tilts her head sideways >"We do not understand-- OH!" >She blushes, her eyes inadvertently running up and down Pinkie's rather slutty garb >"Ehem, we understand why you'd get more patrons with you behind the counter" "That took a second. Are you sure you're old and ancient and all that, kid?" >Luna ignores you >"Hang on, Dashie," Pinkie says, already unlacing her corset. "Let me change into something more appropriate for combat" "Okay, don't take too long" >"You might wanna tie up your blouse too, unless you wanna flash your tits at everyone" "Ah crap--" -- >Half an hour later, you're walking down the dirty street flanked by Luna in her lolita dress and Pinkie in her pink Sailor Moon cosplay >It's all adorned and prettied up like you'd expect, with a giant bow right above her tailbone and high heel boots pulled up to her knees >Her hair's still razor-straight and draped like waterfall around her shoulders, giving her an eerily sexy edgy weeaboo look >So much for 'something more appropriate for combat'... >The three of you attract a *lot* of thirsty glances >A Wallflower sleeve gawks at your party as she walks past, going as far as bending her head down to peek up Pinkie's skirt >And probably yours, too >You cling to the hem of your pleated skirt, blushing >The street you're walking on technically doesn't exist >It's definitely not on your Glim-Pad's map >The improvised walkway you're walking on stretches alongside the ominously looming security barrier, paved by the mixture whatever buildings had for their flooring before they were demolished for "safety" >The walkway itself is littered with the homeless passed out, panhandling, or masturbating in public >You see a couple of Rarity sleeves, filthy but dressed for seduction, standing around in high heels and scanning the foot traffic for potential customers >On the other side of the walkway, Party Trick Megalane is dotted with the headlights of the rush-hour traffic >A wide-eyed Rainbow Dash sleeve runs at you, drooling >"It's me, it's me! Wow, I look fucking HOT. God I wish that were me" >You push the selfcest pervert aside >She falls on her ass, keeping her eyes locked at your tits an stuffing one hand into her spats to masturbate "You know, I could call an autocab and we could get there in no time. Not to mention avoid all the perverts. Ugh" >Luna shakes her head >"We cannot risk exposing Glimmer-Sama's location to anyone. Those autocabs could be tracked" >True >After all, Slut Sunset *magically* happened to be in the very cab that you called while trying to retreat from Indigo Zap >You quietly wonder how she managed to do that >Crazy church spy stuff? Maybe >"That way," Luna points her slender finger at a narrow gap in the security barrier, far ahead >"Seriously?" Pinkie raises an eyebrow. "If we were gonna enter Low River District, my bar's literally next to a checkpoint" >"Yes, but this one's in the pockets of Glimmer-sama. It's a safe passage of sorts. As long as you stick close to us, the police won't say a thing" >The hazy sky turns orangeish red as the sun continues its descent down the invisible horizon "I'm hungry. Maybe we should've packed dinner" >"Sorry Dashie, I didn't think ahead" >Your walk in silence for a few minutes, occasionally interrupted by an unlicensed slut sleeve asking for sex or oglers getting close to lay their hands on you >Finally, you reach the southernmost checkpoint >It's surprisingly light on police presence, being staffed almost entirely by ragged locals instead >"Paid deputies," Luna comments. "They pit the people of Low River against their own. Harassing each other at checkpoints for travel papers, ratting on their neighbors for a few cents. Those poor people." >Luna gets in between you and Pinkie and holds hands with you >She struts forward, her chin raised and poised like a true royal >One of the ragged deputies holds up his hand to stop you, sees Luna, then waves you forward >"Glim'er of Hope," he mutters in a southern accent as you walk past him >"Glimmer of Hope to you too, Jackie" Luna mutters quietly >Once you're out of earshot of the police, you look at Luna "Really? Just like that?" >"Yes, but going the other ways is always more difficult" >She nods her chin to the people lined up, all waiting to have their travel docs examined at the checkpoint >Shit >Well, you're in the thick of it now >"Once we're there, Glimmer-sama's people will provide both of you with forged documents. Until then, we must stay close to streets friendly to Glimmer-sama" "What, the peaceful champion of the people have enemies here?" >"There are always those who feel their power is under threat by Glimmer-sama. Pimps, street gang leaders, and such" >"Like those types?" Pinkie darts her eyes sideways >You look >A group of men and women in tattered police uniform glare at the three of you from the other side of the intersection >"Yes, disgraced cops who were too corrupt even for the Shadowbolt City Police." Luna hisses and says "Curses, they aren't supposed to be in this street!" >One of the ex-cops steps forward and spits toothpick onto the dirty street >Coincidentally, it's a Starlight Glimmer sleeve, but with her hair done in an aggressively lesbian undercut >"Hey, you shits," she says, lazily resting her wrists from the baseball bat slung behind her neck. "Don't you know you're violating the curfew?" >You smirk "If you say so, then I guess we are. We're awfully sorry about that, officers." >The rest of the officers, 6 in total, stop what they're doing and split up flank Undercut Glimmer on both sides >It looks like a well-practiced procedure >They're definitely not some rag-tag thugs! >Undercut Glimmer growls >"Talking back, are we? You just might get bruised for that, little girl" >"Oh, I am going to LOVE this," Pinkie mutters, resting her hands over her dual pistol holster >"Please, let us through," Luna says, letting go of your hand. "We mean you no harm--" >You feel your hair rising up as an arc of electricity shoots out from her fingertip to the ground >"But if you attack our friends, we will defend them!"
