"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..."
