>What is this thread about? This thread revolves around stories about ponies being enslaved.
>Can you elaborate more? Sure! SPG (Slave Pony General) is mostly about characters dealing with the actual implications of the horrifying thing that is chattel slavery. It's more looking at how people with modern sensibilities deal with the ownership of another sentient being, and how most people aren't total cunts.

Good to see a little bit of testiness from Shining, honestly. He may have just been given one of the greatest gifts Anon can give him, but that doesn't change his feelings about being a slave as a whole and it frankly shouldn't. He doesn't pick a fight with Anonymous, but he doesn't also beat around his feelings on slavery.
As for Corona... poor Corona. The sole person whose really shown her kindness so far, and she just straight up asks him what she can do for him to make her acceptable - and he can't answer. And yet, Anonymous can't help but take her to bed (if just for cuddles) despite knowing that it'll only encourage that kind of attachment.

She is the worst sort of pony: terrifying and manipulating others in their hardest of times for no other purpose than to feel like she's in power.
>Well, how are we going to answer her questions? I am not a fan of trying to steer Haute in the right direction. She is very far gone and any attempt at playing nice / showing our true side leaves us open for her to strike on a weakness. We have to keep up the act, and frankly, she does not deserve the effort. She has to learn the hard way why what she does is wrong and needs it to bite her in the flank hard before she should receive a chance to do it right: realize what happens when you treat others with nothing with cruelty and see what you get in the end. Then, after all her misdeeds come full circle, then maybe she'll be ready to see the right way to do it.
Tell her the reason we pardoned them was strictly a 'honey over vinegar' approach: if we strike down rebellion too hard, it will only increase hatred for her and in a massive camp like this, we'd never root it out until it was far too late. Showing lenience encourages ponies AWAY from rebellion because it gives them the impression we're reasonable, and will urge them to voice their concerns while staying in line rather than going outside of the system we've set up. It was strategic to instill just enough fear of the lash while still appearing reasonable, having one's cake and eating it too.

We let them go to prove them wrong. Punishing thoughts and words only leads to worse things. With a group of ponies this size, staying in control is mostly about managing their mental state. The most effective way to rule is by capturing their hearts and minds. You have to be strict with the rules, but not overly so. It's impossible to have everything under your complete control because so much of it relies on factors you can't actually control. You have to influence them in a way that shapes their thinking. Strict, but fair. Besides, this is slavery in a work camp: you could be an actual Saint and you would still have rebellious elements. Do what you can to win their hearts, and let your guard (and spies) stop the worst from escalating. That's the difference between a Ruler and a Leader. If you're doing things right, a gentle touch is all that is needed. Maybe include something Celestia told us about her thousands of years of experience.
Hopefully something gets through to her. Not at first, but maybe plant doubt in her mind: that tyranny and manipulation isn't the most effective way. But for now, we still need Haute to think we're the same kind of pony. Phrase it like we're a kindred spirits, but soften up just a little. This is going to be the harder way, but we're not a monster. We have an opportunity to help Haute *and* Randall's other ponies, along with everyone Haute interacts with after this is finished. Celestia would never forgive us if we didn't try. She's still our enemy, and might even be actively plotting against us. But if we can show her an alternative, maybe we can avoid disaster. Not just for ourselves and our subjects, but for others as well.

>>29841370 Always nice to have a new writefag.
There's two threads, actually, and they are very different.
This one is for more of a narrative focus on things. The struggle of broken ponies, or an owner trying to fix damage already done. Stories about life as a slave and just trying to get by when you're being reduced to property. Sometimes going on an adventure, sometimes an interpersonal struggle to cope with being a pet, sometimes just comfy cuddles with a master and slave who actually like each other.
And the other slavery thread
>>29671249 is for BDSM, psychological domination, torture, and cropped porn. There can still be a story there, but usually it's more of a 'Well, this subhuman needs to be my cocksock' kind of story. Still good though, if that's your kind of thing.

>>29841370 >>29841379 I would recommend that, yes, to get a feel for what to expect and also to see what ideas has already been used. New, creative ideas are always welcomed!
>>29841483 makes a really good distinction between SPG (here) and SiM, as even though they are both dealing with slavery, their themes are different. SPG is generally more 'white- or grey-knighty', while SiM is generally about the fulfillment of personal dark, selfish desires (at least, as far as those that I have read).
There are some SPG greens that border between the two, so it is up to you to put forth your take in this balance in you want to go that way.
I'm glad to welcome another writer here, and I look forward to reading your work. Have fun and enjoy your writing!

'On the other hand, if I mention anything that indicates that the cruelty of the punishment will be greater by its insolence she will take advantage of it to attract my ponies by her side, offering them sweet pity as she spreads her poison through the property preparing my fall through empty promises"

Quoted By:
>>29841613 While being very dark, I would be interested in reading a green like that. An Anon that manages somehow to balance his sexual demands of his slave whilst treating her kindly, warmly and nicely after that. Eventually, she accepts it as a trade-off for the care and security that Anon gives her. In other words, a green that explores heavily on this dynamic of Stockholm syndrome.
>>29841628 I suppose, but would more white-knightness allow it to be SPG material?
>>29841675 >>29841694 Consent by law and consent given are two distinct things. The first determines whether charges can be brought to the rapist, while the other is simply whether the parties are willing to engage in sexual relations.
Statutory rape is thus a case where both holds true, i.e. the minor says she is okay with it, but it is still rape, as defined by the law due to her young age.
On the other hand, rape within marriage is not a chargeable offence in some countries (fucked up, i know), as some have laws that state that it is not illegal for a husband to force himself on his wife (again, fucked up). In this case, there is no rape charge that be slapped on the husband, even though his wife did not agree to having sex with him. It still counts as rape, at least in my book, as even though it isn't illegal, she did not give her consent. By extension, pony slaves can be raped, even if there are no legal provisions to stipulate that.

Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29843627 > Angela pulls the vehicle into a carpark, slowing down as she drives over a hump. The rocking motion shakes the vehicle, causing Starlight to shift back and forth. She just continues snoozing. Angela shifts the gear to ‘reverse’ and backs the car into a lot. Then, she depresses the clutch and removes her seatbelt, tapping on the Data Terminal again as she tears off another slip of paper and writes in the file. When she is done, she looks back at you and nods, and you slowly slide Starlight off you onto the backseat. Again, she just sleeps through it. “Shall we leave her in the car? She is exhausted.”
> Angela pauses to consider your suggestion, then she nods. > “I’ll keep the engine running and the air-con on. This place is relatively safe anyway, so no worries about the car. Oh, write her a note yeah? Don’t want her to panic later if she wakes.” > Seeing you nod, she exits the vehicle and pulls out her radio again, speaking quickly into it. You take out your notepad to scribble a short message for Starlight, giving a time estimate as you explain that Angela and you will be back after the Patrol is done. You stick it on the back of the headrest of the driver’s seat. > Turning back to glance at Starlight one last time, you open the passenger door and step out, closing said door gently. You look around, seeing that you are in the carpark of a factory of sorts. As far as you know, Linen Road Industrial Complex is a manufacturing hub, albeit a smaller one as compared to the others in the country. Although you have 4 checkpoints for this patrol route, they are relatively easily to access as compared to the ones in the Central Business District, given that they are situated around the perimeter of the complex. > “Dispatch to Foxtrot 5. Roger that. 1211 Copy. Over.” Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29843630 > Angela puts her radio back, then she nods at you. You follow her, setting off at a brisk pace towards your first checkpoint. It is located beside the outer perimeter fence, so Angela and you are walking along rows of parked container trucks by the face. Your respective equipment bounces and clinks with your footsteps. > “… You really love her, Anon, don’t you?” > Turning to Angela, you meet her eyes and nod. “I do… I really do, Angela…”
> “Have you… Nevermind… Knowing you, you probably already did.” > You frown. “What?”
> Angela smiles at you. > “You already made love to her, haven’t you?” > You stop dead in your tracks as your heart skipped a beat, staring at Angela as she stops too. You feel your stomach constrict, as if an ice cube appeared in it. She gives you a little shake of her head, smirking lightly. > Fuck. > She knows. Angela knows. Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck…. “H-how did… You…”
> “Boys will be boys, Anon… And the 2 of you are way too obvious.” > Angela takes a breath, looking up at the sky for a moment before turning back to you and crossing her arms. > “I can tell by the way the both of you look at each other; there is something there that is beyond that of a master and a slave. Or even between close friends. I can tell that she does not obey you because she fears you, but she obeys you because she wants to… I dare say that she loves you, Anon… As a girl myself, I am certain of the signs.” > Angela smiles at you before she elaborates. “From the way you were comforting her earlier in the car? The things you said to her, the way you held her, and the way she looks at you, I can tell. You were kissing her, for fuck’s sake! It’s almost like you both are in your own little world.”
> Shaking her head, Angela giggles softly. “Your behaviour is exactly the same as how my boyfriend behaves with me… Much to the annoyance and embarrassment of my mother and sisters, but I digress.”
Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29843631 > Eyes drifting to her left, Angela sighs deeply before she resumes speaking. “I suppose even though I still don’t like the idea of her being your slave, you have shown that you have not and will not take advantage of her position… From the things you do, Anon, I can see that you value her happiness and well-being… And… I guess you are right; even though Starlight may not be truly free, she can still choose to be happy. With you. As her master.”
> You just stare at Angela, stunned at her monologue. “S-so, you are not… Angry?”
> Fucking witty, Boss. Of all the things to say, you ask the obvious. > Angela grins as she punches you on the shoulder. > “Why should I be? Starlight is clearly happy being with you; you treat her well, look after her needs, you keep her safe. And knowing you, you’ll make good on that promise to AC Thor that you’ll die for her if need be… As a girl, I say that’s a pretty good deal, especially in this day and age. It’s hard to find a guy like you, especially one that is so committed… And, as a bonus, you are handsome and charming enough for a guy.” > You cough as your face becomes warm. Angela laughs, clearly enjoying your discomfort. “T-thanks…”
> Recovering, Angela sighs again and grins at you. > “Don’t mention it. Besides, I am not in a position to judge the nature of the relationship between the both of you.” > Huh? Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29843635 “I don’t understand. What do you mean by “not being able to judge” us?”
> Angela smirks. Glancing left and right, Angela leans in conspiratorially. > “I’m going to tell you a little secret, Anon.” > Intrigued, you bend your back, lowering your head. Angela covers her mouth with her hand and whispers in your ear. > “… Let’s just say that my boyfriend isn’t my first, and that I know a lot about canine anatomy...” > What. The. Fuck. > Smiling sheepishly at you, Angela turns and starts walking again. You are sure that your eyes are like sauces now as you regard her in shock. Your mind is a blank. > What the fuck. What the fuck! > Never did you expect- > “A girl has needs too, Anon! And that was years before I met my boyfriend!” > You blink rapidly and shake your head before you start following her. > Angela is an active member of an animal rights activist group. Brain buzzes with excitement at the possible teases and dirty jokes that he can make in the future. > Shaking your head again, you get him to shut up. You will never see your best friend in the same light again. > … Mercury !!xznewikzP0a

These fucking sadists are getting away with their treatment of ponies, and you, as a Police officer sworn to protect the vulnerable in society, could do nothing about it. You clench your fists hard, crushing Starlight’s red leash in them. You know the law, and you know that if this was your case, you will come to the same conclusion as Noel. The injustice of it still hurts you inside though, and leaves you feeling bitter and resentful. > A maximum $1,000 fine? Why not just slap his wrist instead and tell him to play nicely? > God dammit. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. > The silence drags on, as each of you are immersed in your own thoughts. All that runs through your mind is for Parliament to fucking pass that Bill. And the things you would do to that scroungy fuck if you met him. Then, Noel squats, stretching out a palm towards Starlight. > “Little pony? Come here, girl.” >... Mercury !!xznewikzP0a

> You get the passenger’s seat, closing the door quietly. Despite your efforts, Starlight stirs and opens her eyes slowly, her little muzzle opening in a yawn. You reach a hand over and rest it on her head, which causes her to focus her eyes on you. She gives you a smile as she blinks drowsily. > “Hi Master.” “Hey Starlight.”
> You pet her mane slowly, reaching the other hand to cup her cheek. You run your thumb over it, and she smiles wider in return. “We are heading back to the Station for lunch. Just completed the Industrial Complex Patrol.”
> Her eyes open widely and she lifts her head. > “Oh no… Master, I should hav-” “It’s okay, Starlight, it’s okay… You had a rough morning, and you slept late yesterday. Don’t worry about it.”

When you meet her eyes, she mouths “See? I was right”.

There is a group of junior officers seated at another table on your left, and they seemed to be listening to a briefing as given by the Station Warrant Officer. On your right, you see a female Inspector passing a hot drink to a teenage girl in school uniform, before seating down at the table and talking to her. She appears shaken; you guessed that from the way she frowns at her drink while giving small nods to the policewoman in front of her. > Shoplifter, maybe? Or victim of some pervert? Criminal, or victim? > You shake your head. It is fruitless to speculate further without some context. > Then, you watch as DSP Koh picks up a tray with a bowl on it.

As he approaches, Angela and you greet him, standing up to give him a salute, which he returns after putting down his food.

> “That may be the case, Anon, but it reflects well on you as a master. You should be proud of her.” > Smiling lightly, you glace at Starlight and give her a quick pet before looking back at your supervisor. “I am.”
> DSP Koh is about to pick up his chopsticks when Angela speaks. > “Erm, Sir, you wanted Starlight’s Witness Statement form? I have it in my office now.” > “Oh, that’s good, but it isn’t needed anymore. Still, keep it in the case file in my office for future reference, after lunch.” > What? > You share a look with Angela, who is just as confused as you are. Even Starlight looks up from her apple, watching and listening to the scene in front of her. > You turn to DSP Koh. “Sir? Why isn’t it needed anymore? Didn’t the Public Prosecutor ask for it?”
> The middle-aged man gives you a smirk. > “I just got word from Prisons. That drug dealer you arrested, Anon, was strangled to death by his cell-mate 3 days ago. Apparently, the cell-mate is being held for aggravated assault for savagely attacking a person who kicked his pony. He was due to be released on the account of ‘Defence of Personal Property’... Anyway, that drug dealer was apparently boasting to him about how he raped a pony and killed another in his flat. Early one morning, the prison guards heard a commotion in the cell, and they entered it to find the cell-mate had his arm locked around the dealer. They tried to resuscitate him, but his windpipe was totally crushed. The dealer has been unconscious for a long while before the guards wrestled the cell-mate off him. He was dead before he could be sent to the Prison Medical Centre.” > Wow. That absolute madman. He actually did it. Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29844301 > “As such, that cell-mate is now being held for Murder, but as far as I know, the charge would most likely be Culpable Homicide Not Amounting to Murder… If he can prove that the provocation was sufficient for him to lose his rationality, that is. His family has been contacted, and his pony has volunteered to stay with him in Police custody; she went in this morning. Quite a shame, really… I heard he was a pretty nice chap. Serves that dealer right though, that sick fuck.” > Angela, Starlight and you just sit there, stunned by what you have learnt. DSP Koh has no qualms about it though, and starts on his noodles. > Being charged for Murder at worst; Culpable Homicide Not Amounting to Murder at best. Either a death sentence, or life imprisonment. If he is well behaved, that life imprisonment sentence may be reduced to 15 years. > At least, he has his pony for company, Boss. > “How is the evidence stacked up for him, Sir? Does he have a strong defence?” > That question came from Angela. > DSP Koh ‘hmms’ as he eats and thinks. He swallows. > “As far as I know, the other cell-mates did confirm that the dealer was laughing and joking about his actions, and they heard him insulting the cell-mate’s pony, so who knows? Maybe the judge for this case will take these into account when deciding the verdict? I don’t want to speculate without speaking to the Investigation Officer for his case, but I’m confident that our judges are fair.” > Okay then. > DSP Koh wipes his chin with a handkerchief and speaks again. > “Tragic as it may be for the cell-mate, I am glad that he sent that sadist to hell. People like him is what causes a lot of the sufferings in this world for ponies like Starlight. Better to weed them out.” > DSP Koh motions to your food with a hand. > “Eat up, Anon.

>>29844319 Not that i'm against it but it is kinda strange that he can keep a pony with him in prison.
prison paying to feed the peony and keeping her safe from the people that are there for a reason. A female anything would be in danger around that many guys who haven't seen a woman in a while.
Though inmates may sympathies with them. there may be whole gangs protecting them. Maybe the pony is almost like a therapy animal to brightens up many of their lives.
it just still feels risky.

How does it feel?" >you shift your weight on your hooves, arch and wiggle your back against the soft pad, before walking around the room a bit, eventually returning to her "Not bad, actually. Snug. Kinda comfy. Almost reminds me of..." your voice trails off

I'm not gonna let you fall, okay?" you reassure her. "Shiny's gotcha."
>"y...you're s...so much t...taller than Corona..." she stutters, starting to tremble, fear evident in her voice "Shhhh... it's okay," you say, continuing your attempts to ease her tension. "I won't let anything happen to you, I promise. You're safe with me."

I'm not gonna take a single step until you're ready. And if you want down just say so, alright?"
>"mhmm..." she murmurs with a slight nod >it takes a few more minutes, but eventually her trembling stops and her tension subsides >you feel her reach down and pat your neck as the pressure on the reins slowly releases, and you're finally able to rest your head in a more natural position "How you doing now, Gracie?" you ask, looking back up at her over your shoulder
>"better... it's not so bad... I... I just gotta get used to it. I didn't expect it to feel so different from Corona is all. You're a big pony." >you give a gentle snort, lowering your head submissively for her, trying to build her confidence and let her feel even more in control somewritefag !!tvlWrbLUTqN

Wanna take him for a spin outside?" >you look at Anon, about to mention you don't think that's a good idea yet until Gracie speaks up >"not...not yet, mister Anon, just inside for now is okay... I gotta take my time, like daddy says. I... I just wanna sit here for now, if that's okay with you, Shiny..." "Of course, Gracie. Whatever you want," you say with a lazy swish of your tail.
>after a few more minutes of sitting still, stroking your neck, she speaks up again >"I... I think I'm ready to get down now, Shiny" >strangely, you're almost disappointed to hear her say that >but you comply with her wishes, lowering yourself to the floor slowly and laying down to make it easier for her to dismount >her arms are around your neck once again the moment her feet are back on the ground >"maybe next time we can walk a little bit... thank you Shiny..." >you nod, nuzzling her cheek as she pulls out of the hug and quietly begins the process of removing your tack somewritefag !!tvlWrbLUTqN

I'm all for giving ponies the benefit of the doubt and trying to turn them from a bad path but 'hope' is a commodity we cannot afford easily. She is asking us questions not because she's in doubt, but because she's probing for signs of weakness to prey upon. Haute is NOT in a position to be compromised down from, she has nothing to gain and, from her perspective, everything to lose. She has everything she could possibly want (given the circumstances) and trying to dissuade her from her current path only opens us up for her to attack socially.
Haute can be taught long term how the right way to lead, not rule, is but no redemption came without humility first. She has to pay the consequences of what she's done so far before she'll even be willing to consider our way is better because so far, her way hasn't failed her in the slightest yet. We can't offer her trust we know she hasn't earned yet.

And how DID Shiney come to be implanted, but not permanently disabled, by these -bad people- anyway? Flashback tiem! >a bitless bridle with reins Coronas bridle came with an optional bit, it's never used either. Bitless bridles are not necessarily the less sever option; if they don't fit perfectly or the rider is inexperienced they can damage the facial nerves and cause other problems, right? Horses seem to vocalize and even eat through the bit without much difficulty, they are comfortable and practical. Always thought it was such a touching act of submission when they open their jaw and take the bit, surprised we missed it here. Are these being used just so our pones can still speak properly, or some other reason?
>"Oh no, Gracie, it's fine," you reassure her And the pervasive poison of slavery taints this innocent relationship. Is Shiny able to give a gift of service to Grace, or is he being coerced? Anon said earlier it was going to happen, then went and bought it at some expense, how could Shiny say 'no'? But Shiny would have loved to do it anyway. This sort of ambiguity is the very heart of SPG.

>>29847185 I would imagine the lack of a bit is so the pony can talk to their rider. probably less important when the pony is being driven.I also don't think this is the same type of bitless bridle used on actual horses, pressure isn't really necessary to guide a sapient animal, it's probably literally only there to give the kid something to hold on to
shiny bowing his head in submissiveness even without a bit is supposed to show how much he cares for her - and would probably even accept her as his mistress far more easily then he accepted anon as his master

She shows a great deal of consideration for his feelings, putting them above her own desires. He wants to reward her for that. She's a good friend for him.
also he loves that little girl to death by now and would probably do just about anything to make her happy

I also don't feel like it's something Anon would force him to do, since Grace is respectful of what Shiny wants. Anon wouldn't countermand that and demand she ride him against his will, resulting in it being an unpleasant experience for both of them. She's always insisted that while she really likes getting pony rides and really enjoyed when Corona let her ride her, it's not something that's vital to their friendship, and so he has the freedom to refuse without damaging her feelings toward him.
I don't think she was expecting to feel so intimidated sitting on Shining's back. I can relate to that experience - riding a horse looks really fun until you're sitting on this huge powerful thousand-pounds-of-pure-muscle beast that could kill you with minimal effort (granted Shiny's not nearly as big as an actual horse, but still, you get the idea). Shiny going out of his way to be submissive for her really illustrates how much he cares about her. I doubt he would go out of his way to make Anon feel comfortable in a similar situation.

> She gives you a swift nod, no doubt noticing the urgency of the situation. You start running towards it, again hearing the clinks of your equipment on your utility belt.

Then, you move that hand upwards, placing your palm on her forehead while you put your left index and middle fingers under her under her nose, leaning your head over her hers as you watch her chest. She is breathing. Good. > You turn to the young mother. “Get me blankets. Every single one that you have. And bring me a thermometer. Hurry!”
> She nods urgently and complies. > Turning to the girl, you shake her shoulder with a hand. “Hello! Girl, can you hear me? Girl? I am Officer Anon! Hello! Can you hear me?”
> No response. > Angela appears beside you, looking down at the young girl. She also places her palm on the girl’s forehead while she holds her radio to her mouth. > “Foxtrot 5 to X-ray 8.

Over.” > “X-ray 8 to Foxtrot 5, solid copy. Is she breathing and does she have a pulse? Over.” > You quickly nod at Angela, who returns it. > “Foxtrot 5 to X-ray 8, yes and yes. Victim is breathing and has a pulse. Pulse is-” > Angela turns to you again, and you mouth “weak”. > “- weak. Pulse is weak, X-ray 8. Over.” > “X-ray 8 to Foxtrot 5, copy that. Don’t start CPR. What’s her temperature? Over.” > “Foxtrot 5 to X-ray 8, no reading as of this time, but she is cold to the touch. Skin is of similar temperature to the marble tiles here. Over.” > “Roger that, Foxtrot 5. Keep victim warm, and give her warm fluids if she becomes responsive. We are 6 minutes out. Over.” > “Foxtrot 5 to X-ray 8. Copy that, and do hurry. Over.” Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29849623 > The young mother carries a bunch of blankets over just as the man you saw earlier comes rushing into the house, wheezing and panting. The mother deposits the blankets beside the girl. > “N-no thermometer, Officer…” > You just shake your head. “Nevermind then. The ambulance is arriving in 6 minutes. Help me spread out the blankets. We cannot let her lie on the cold floor like that.”
> While they spread the blankets, you put a hand under the girl’s shoulders and one under her butt. You stand, lifting her into your arms as you wait for the make-shift bedding to be completed. When it is done, you gently lay her down on it. Turning to the mother, you tell her to go outside and keep a lookout for the ambulance. She leaves. > The father, now recovering from his panic, starts petting his daughter’s forehead as he cries and blames himself, repeatedly saying that it was his fault, how he was an irresponsible father and calling down curses on himself. Angela just nods sadly and gives him a pet on the back. You can tell that she feels helpless as well. > Looking down at the poor girl, you wonder how you can help. Besides just waiting for the paramedics, that is. > I have an idea, Boss. You feel your eyes widen. > Turning to Starlight, you remove her leash and start unbuckling her vest. You address her. “Starlight, use your coat and body heat to warm her up. Keep as close to her as you can, and I’ll wrap a blanket over the both of you… This girl may die without warmth, and you are the best person to save her life right now. Do it. Quick.”
> Starlight nods as you lift the vest off her. She crawls on top of the girl, pressing her body against her as you wrap a blanket over the both of them. Starlight rests her rest beside the little girl’s, holding her neck against her’s. Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29849639 > The next few moments are passed with you just listening to the sobs and cries of the father while you wait in silence. All that you can think of is how this girl is no different from the kids at the playground. Similar ages, but they are having fun while she is fighting for her life. It makes you… sad. > Then, a commotion from the front door draws your attention, and you stand up hurriedly. A pair of paramedics enters the house, carrying a stretcher. The girl’s mother enters as well, moving over to hug her husband as she cries. > One of the paramedics, an African American lass, turns to you, while her partner, a young Caucasian man kneels down beside the girl and starts unpacking his tools. > “This is the girl, yeah?” > You nod and step back, letting them do their job. They unwrap the blanket, moving Starlight aside as they do their assessment. You call to your pony, and she retreats to your side. > “Will she be okay, Master?” > Glancing down, you see Starlight’s brows are furrowed in worry. You just pet her. “I don’t know, but we can hope.”
> The paramedics takes her temperature with an ear thermometer, and proceeds to lift her on the stretcher, blanket and all. Then, the black lass turns to you. > “Can your pony keep her warm as we transfer her to A&E*? She is not stable yet.” > *Author’s Note* A&E, short for ‘Accidents and Emergencies’; the Emergency Department of a hospital. > Heh, ‘not stable’, unless she has a pony with- > NOT THE TIME FOR HORSE PUNS, BRAIN! > You turn to Starlight, who meets your gaze with a determined nod. “Okay.”
> With that, Starlight trots swiftly and climbs into the stretcher with her. Similar to what you did earlier, the other paramedic wraps her in with the girl, strapping them in position with a buckle. “Which hospital are you sending her to?”
> “Keneagles General. 14 minutes away.” Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29849663 > She turns to the girl’s parents and tells them to follow them. You move to pick up one end of the stretcher while the Caucasian dude moves to the other end. > “1, 2, 3. Lift!” > You stand up and start walking towards the ambulance. Seeing Starlight turning around to look at you, you address her. “Don’t be afraid, alright? Angela and I will meet you at the hospital. Just stay with the girl and keep her alive, okay? She needs you.”
> Starlight smiles. > “I will, Master… And I’m not afraid.” > That earned her a smile from you. > At the ambulance, you heave your end of the stretcher upwards onto a carrier, and let the black paramedic take over. She motions for the girl’s parents to get in, while she holds the door open. When they are seated, she gives you one final nod before pulling the door close. > The last thing that you saw were those purple orbs of Starlight’s eyes. The ambulance takes off, sounding its sirens and flashing its lights. > Angela taps you on the shoulder. Giving her a brief nod, the both of you start walking back to your vehicle. Angela is carrying Starlight’s vest, so you pull out your radio. “Foxtrot 5 to Dispatch. Message. Over.”

>>29849708 Kay, not to be a shit but you will die of suffocation long before hypothermia in a domestic freezer.
And Starlight is probably the worse choice to share body heat as her fur limits the transfer of her heat to the environment... same as a human wearing a coat on a cold day.
Also paramedics have thermal blankets for just such reasons
Not normally one to whine but shits pretty egregious

Not reading the Luna green for that reason, seems too far fetched, unless it was in a top secret isolated and restricted military containment zone holding her captive then sure, it d be believable to have one of Equestria's leader there, but from what I remember its simply a common home, not even a millionaire housing to be able to afford a specimen as rare as the alicorns if Equestria had completely lost the war so, ye

After all, you have been walking for approximately an hour now, so there is little conversation between the 3 of you. > You pull out your phone and unlock it. The temptation to just plug your earphones in and fuck off to music heaven is so tempting, but the Police Force has strict rules regarding the conduct of officers, especially when they are on patrol. Instead, your eyes drift to the ‘Notes’ icon. > Oh yeah. > You open it, deleting “P.P. Statement, Starlight”. No need for that anymore. > The other 2 notes: “Night light, Starlight” and “Permissions, Starlight”, remain. “Starlight?”
> Said pony looks up at the mention of her name. Her ears also swivelled forwards. > “Master?” “Later, when we get back home, I will give you the camping lamp in the storeroom. It has a large carrying handle, and you can turn it on and off by pressing the button at the side. Just let me know if the battery runs out, so I can replace them.”

You are a smart girl, and I expect you to figure out when and where you should do that.”
> Starlight nods. > “Yes, Master.” “And feel free to ask me the rationale for the things that I ask you to do, and feel free to disagree with me. I don’t want you to just follow my orders blindly and unwillingly, as I want you to feel respected as an individual and use your intellect and experience to serve me… But, I would still expect a degree of respect and obedience from you as your Master… Just… Trust me, okay? At the end of the day, I love you and I want the best for you.”
> Starlight smiles. > “You know I do, Master.” > You return her smile with one of your own, but you adopt a stern look after. “The exception to these is when we are out here, in the field. I don’t mean to put you down, Starlight, but I have way more experience than you here, so I need and want you to follow my every order to the letter. Carry them out first, then ask why later; don’t hesitate, just do it… The consequences of action or inaction is of utmost importance out here: a split second’s hesitation can mean life or death, a judgement call can decide if you let a criminal go free or fuck him over with well-deserved justice. These I cannot stress enough.”
> Starlight nods slowly as she mulls over your words. “And… I’m sorry for not telling you all these earlier. Thinking back, it is my fault too, when you ran over and pulled that body out… It isn’t fair to you that I punished you for my mistake.”

> “Apology accepted, Master.” > Leaning back, you regard her. Her purple and teal mane rests easy on the sides of her neck, and her fringe has that cute twirl that falls on one side of her face. She gives you a small smile, which sits so well on her little muzzle, meeting your eyes with her violet ones. Her little horn sticks up on her forehead, and her ears are big and fluffy. > You reach your right forearm under the back of her hind legs and butt, while you move your left upper arm under her front legs and her chest.

>>29853444 Did some research and agrees with the information given by Anon that a child trapped in a refrigerator can die of suffocation before suffering hypothermia, so even though it would have been a useful part in history was the right to remove it, You want to add the item that includes a child in danger by playing hide and seek can use some other element, such as that it was hidden under a basement and the door was closed, or that the child got into the trunk of a car Simply lost and her parents do not find it, here the magic of Starligth could be very useful, she could use a tracking spell using a toy or infant clothes and connect with the aura or life force of it to find their whereabouts, Everything depends on the amount of magic she can still use and the confidence she has to try

>>29846661 Snow-happy Corona a cute poner. Shiny even cuter.
It's genuinely pretty heartwarming how, even though he hates being a slave, he can't argue with the pure innocence and happiness Gracie radiates. Yet, he's not exactly happy about being tacked up and ridden around like an animal - but he's happy he was able to bring her joy. Hell, this is probably one of the first times Shining has been able to actually make a child (human or pony) happy since he was enslaved, and he's just glad to make use of it. Like what
>>29847185 said, Shining is trying his hardest to let this just be a good moment for a kid - no matter how much slavery threatens to intrude on it.
It probably helps that Gracie is showing she really means to care for him - not just use him as a beast of burden. I'd say that's where a lot of Shiny's willingness to be not just tolerant, but actually submissive around her comes from.
Kind of funny, though. The last time he wore a bridle, it was quite possibly for kinky stuff with Cadance. Got to be a little awkward for him to be tacked up by a child.

>>29854269 I think he legitimately loves little Gracie and views her like a sort of surrogate daughter, so he's willing to put up with a little intrusion on his dignity in order to make her happy. He knows that nobody there thinks any less of him just because he's wearing a saddle and bridle and allowing himself to be commanded by a child. I bet Cadance would even think it was adorable her husband has such a big heart that he's willing to make an innocent little girl's dreams come true even though she's a human. He doesn't let his hatred of humans and what they've done to his people taint his relationship with someone who had nothing to do with their subjugation.
I am still getting a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that tragedy is going to strike as a direct result of Gracies enthusiasm for pony rides. She's going to get hurt badly while riding Shiny and it won't even be his fault, but she will still be terrified of him after the incident and it's going to crush him to see her so fearful of him.

Grabbing a dozen or so after checking to see if the right games were in the case, you shoved them in the bag as well before lugging the whole thing over your shoulder. >Unplugging the flatscreen next, you wrap the cord around it’s base before carefully lifting it up and carrying it down the stairs. >You bypass the living room and move back to the kitchen, heading into the hallway that connected it to the garage. >The garage floor was smooth, yet the surface was cracked in a few places and stains covered the entirety. The walls were packed full of power tools and various other pieces of projects long since abandoned. >A ladder hung from the roof by a hook right by the house’s side door, and several fishing rods jutted out of a golf bag beside that. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858378 >In the center of the garage your rusty SUV sat silent, its back hatch open and awaiting cargo. You lower the flatscreen into the vehicle and push it past various other house appliances, settling it up against the backseat. >You throw the backpack in as well, since it was getting pretty full.>Another boom of thunder shakes the ground, making you flinch. They said it was on the coast, but that storm sounds like it was right on top of you. >Glancing into the van, you briefly reconsider the entire thing. >Was moving right now really the best idea? >This town wasn’t really what you expected when you moved here and the job pickings were slim. You were ready to move on, but perhaps staying for just a bit longer wouldn’t hurt. >You shake your head a few times. >You had already begun packing, can’t back out now.>You grab another bag out of the van and head over to the tool wall, throwing in a few power tools and some spare drill bits in along with a few unopened models and placing it in the car. >Your boots clack on the hard floor as you make your way back into the house and up the staircase. >Heading into the first door you see, you find yourself in the master bedroom. >A large, queen sized bed was pushed up against the back wall, nightstands flanking both sides. Two dressers sat opposite the bed and several jewelry boxes lay atop. >Realizing you left your other bag downstairs, you rip off a pillowcase and empty the jewelry box contents into that. Opening the drawers on the first dresser, you dig through all the clothes searching for cash. >Lo and behold, hidden beneath several pairs of socks and underwear, was several wads of cash, mostly twenties. Thumbing through the bills, you roughly estimate there to be about three hundred dollars. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858388 >Moving to the other dresser, you do the same thing, emptying the jewelry and grabbing the cash hidden in the sock drawer. >You head downstairs once more to unload, then went back up, grabbing the backpack from the living room on the way. >Bypassing the second door upstairs, which led to the bathroom, you head straight for the third door, the kid’s bedroom. >As your gloved hand began to turn the knob, a crash sounded from the bathroom before the door was bashed open. >A middle-aged man in sweat pants and a wife beater tumbled out of the room before crashing to the ground, violently rubbing his face against the carpet and letting out pained grunts. >His face was bright red, partially from the small wound on his forehead that trickled blood down his brow, the color a stark contrast to his graying hair. Tears poured from his eyes and a steady stream of mucous ran out of his nose.>Several strips of duct tape wrapped around the back of his head and mouth, muffling his cries while his hands and legs were bound by zip-ties. >You flung the backpack against the wall behind you and immediately unholstered the chemical sprayer from the tank on your back. >As his head jolted towards the sound, you squeezed the trigger and released a torrent of the spray into his face for the second time tonight. >His writhing figure reflected off the lenses of your gas mask as you continued to pour the chemical mixture over his face. >He really should have stayed in the bathroom like you told him. >A muffled cry of agony and several stifled coughs emanated from his throat as the liquid he had worked so hard to remove from his eyes was reapplied. >You release your grip from the trigger but kept the hose in hand as you approach him, your yellow hazmat suit squelching as you kneeled down next to his convulsing body. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858400 “I told you if you were quiet and stayed in the bathroom, we wouldn't have anymore problems. Why didn’t you just listen?”>“MMPH!”
“Since we’re here, tell me, how does that feel in your eyes? Does it burn? I’m trying to work out just the right mixture to perfect this stuff.”
>“MMMMMPH!” “Scream all you want, literally nobody can hear you over the storm, if there even is anybody to hear you. You just had to stay and man the fort didn’t you? Couldn’t leave the house unprotected huh?”
>Tears continued to pour from his eyes as your homemade irritant worked its magic. “Thirty-four years on the force and this is how you go down? Reduced to a sniveling mess by little old me?”
>Thrashing his body around, he begins bashing his head against whatever part of your body he could make contact with. The blows hurt a bit, but it was definitely hurting him more than you, so you just let him continue. “I bet you don’t even recognize me huh? Eight years we worked together and even now you still refuse to acknowledge my existence. Well, who's the boss now chief?!”
>“GRUHH!” >His undulations increase tenfold as he realizes that his captor was someone he worked with. >Well, you really didn’t work with him ever, at any point in time but he didn’t need to know that. After you got out of here he'd focus all his attentions in the wrong places, giving you a great head start to escape. >The only time other than this that you had actually met him was a few weeks ago when he threatened to pepper spray you for loitering around the local jeweler. Granted, you were considering robbing it but he didn’t know that. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858420 >Grabbing one of his slippered feet, you drag him back into the bathroom and manage to push him into tub. >The dull thunk of his body against the ceramic reverberated around the room as he struggled to break free. >Slamming the door shut once more, you hook the sprayer back against the tank and drag both of the love seats over to the door to fashion a crude barricade. He would eventually break through it, but by then you’d be gone. >Maybe if he used all of his brainpower and decades of police experience, he’d turn the tub on and wash his eyes out. You were pretty sure this place’s water still worked. >Jogging to the last room, you head inside and rip open the drawers on the lone dresser. >Rifling through the clothing, you eventually find another wad of cash, mostly fives and tens, and you took the piggy bank while you were at it. >You rip a painting off the wall, stole the surge protecter from earlier and threw the stuff into the bag as you ran down the stairs, gripping the banister with your chemically resistant gloves as you flung your body around the corner. >Dashing through the kitchen, you steal his toaster as you pass by and head back to the garage after bashing his phone against the wall a few times. >Slamming your fist against a button on the wall, the mechanism activates and the garage door slowly rises up as you haphazardly throw the bag into the back of the car and shut the hatch. >You then sprint to front seat and turn the keys waiting for you in the ignition. >The tank on your back pressed against the seat behind you as you drove away from the house, watching in your rearview as the garage door automatically closed. >The cascading rain crashes against the windshield and even with your wipers turned to full speed, your vision was still somewhat obscured.>You drive along the soaked neighborhood roadway for about five minutes before turning off on a flooded dirt road. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858429 >You could see the highway on the other side of the swaying pine trees, the few cars that were actually driving on it visible only by their headlights. >You can’t help but let a toothy smile come to your masked face. Adrenaline pumping, heart racing, you think back on your haul. >A few hundred in cash, some jewelry and various appliances, you could probably get a thousand or so for all of it if you sold it off right. >Definitely not your best, but then again, home invasion and hostage taking weren’t really your forte. You were genuinely surprised that he had stuck around, since his wife claimed they were going to visit relatives to ride out the storm. >Still, thats why you carry a potentially hazardous mix of chemicals on your back when you commit crimes. Guns? To hard to explain carrying that to cops in some places. Chemical tank? Just a pesticide sprayer, sir.>You pop open the glove box with one hand and pulled out the two new additions to your collection. >An gun, looked like a .45 auto, and a taser. You got lucky when the taser’s barbs hit the tank on your back. A few inches to the left and you would've been the one convulsing the ground. >You’d get rid of the gun later, sell it maybe, and you planned to keep the taser, at least until you ran out of cartridges. But only after you scratched the serial numbers off both of them of course. >As your car continued to push through the mud, you could see the faint outline of an old wooden house in the woods. >Local gossip said the owner was a secretive, creepy old man and some of the kids around town seemed convinced that he killed and ate puppies, but you didn’t care. >If anyone gave you trouble you’d just spray them. Might not be very effective in the rain, but you had a taser and a gun now so there was that. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858436 >Pulling around back, you stop the car next to your own white, windowless cargo van. Hopping out of the stolen SUV and trudging through the mud, you begin the process of ferrying the stolen goods from the car to your van. Taking a tarp out first, you cover any and all electronics with it before moving them to your van. >You shoved the T.V. up against the metal grate that separated the front seat from the back the van and threw the various other appliances and bags of valuables around it. >You began unstrapping the tank from your back, but then thought the better of it and kept it on. >Closing up your van, you hop back in the SUV and drove it back out front to where you stole it, then hopped out and marched through the storm back to your van, the rain pattering against your suit. >Halfway around the house however, something caught your eye. >You wiped the lenses of your gas mask off to make sure you were seeing things right. >There was a metal trash can tied to a pine tree about ten feet off the ground. >Maybe the dude who lived here was crazy… >Curiosity got the better of you however, and once you spotted a tall ladder on the side of the house, you just had to know. >They say curiosity killed the cat and considering how rickety the ladder felt in the high wind, you were sure that the cat was about to be you. >Either the adrenaline had yet to wear off or perhaps you were just really stupid, because you actually started climbing the ladder. >You reached the top and hugged your yellow body as close to the tree as possible for stability as you peered over the edge of the can. >You felt the breath catch in your throat as you struggled to comprehend what you were seeing. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858449 >There was a unicorn, just a bit larger than a filly, with a matted white coat and a mangled light pink and purple mane crumpled up in the bottom of the can that was rapidly filling with water. The only thing betraying that it was actually alive was it’s shivering body. >Only it’s head remained above the orange-tinted water. What looked like a busted shock collar had been wrapped around it’s neck so tightly you thought you could see the bloody skin underneath and a large rusty iron nail was driven lengthwise through it’s horn, forming a cross of sorts. >It didn’t take a biologist to know that it’s right foreleg really shouldn't be bending that way and you could see another, even bigger nail driven straight through the frog of it’s hoof and into it’s leg. The area where it’s… talent mark thingy or whatever they called them had been mutilated for lack of a better word. >Scars that looked like whip marks adorned the flesh there and the shape of an “X” had been carved across it. >The rapidly rising water now covered it’s chin and showed no signs of stopping as you began contemplating what to do. >Should you save the poor creature? Or maybe put it out of its misery? It was obviously on deaths doorstep and you weren’t a stranger to killing wounded animals. >You’d always pull over when you saw roadkill to make sure it was actually dead and if it wasn’t, you’d finish the job yourself. > Occasionally some cops called you out on it, but you found it was pretty easy to justify killing those creatures out of mercy because if your guts were on the other side of the road and you were somehow still conscious, you’d want to die. Surprisingly, most cops reluctantly agreed with you and let you go on the promise that you didn’t do it again. You never listened to cops before though, so why start there? >This though… this was a whole new level. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858460 >You tried to avoid using guns whenever possible because the thought of killing another human sickened you. But temporarily wounding or harming them? A-okay. Twisted and unsound logic to be sure, but you were almost certain that you had some kind of mental disorder other than your rampant kleptomania. >These ponies though, even though many saw them as somehow below human, you could’t see that. They were clearly sentient and obviously had high intelligence and some could even use magic! Sure, they weren't as technologically advanced as humans were but that wasn’t really grounds to enslave an entire species. >The water had continued to rise and was trickling into it’s mouth. You moved it’s head up with one hand, the other still gripping the tree with all your might. >It’s head now repositioned, you were slightly disappointed it continued to breath. If you had accidentally broken it’s neck, you would be on your way now and could justify it to yourself as an accident. >You move one of the back hooves up and saw yet another nail driven in. Same thing with the other two hooves. >If you saved it, what good would that do? If it even survived, it didn’t look like it was ever going to walk again and you didn’t have the time or money to care for someone who needed to be waited on 24/7. Hell, you lived in your van, you didn’t even have the space. >If it had suffered all of this abuse, it was almost certain that there were other parts of it you couldn’t see that were broken. >As much as it pained you to do it, it was probably for the best to spare it from further suffering. >Gripping it’s head, you gently lowed its snout into the water and waited for death to take it. > It’s body squirmed a bit as it seemed to partially awaken. > “mmm…ma…mom…” >Your grip on its head tightened a bit as your greedy black heart crumbled in on itself. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858478 >Throwing caution to the wind, you released your death grip on the tree and scooped up the unicorn as gently as you possibly could, gripping it’s broken leg in your hand to stop it from thrashing about in the wind. >After descending the ladder slowly, you walk backwards toward your van, shielding it’s crumpled body from the gale. >Hooking the sprayer from your chemical tank under the door handle, you managed to unlock it and used your foot to pry the door open. >You set the unicorn down in the passenger seat and tied the sprayer from the chemical tank against it’s busted leg to keep it as straight as possible. >Unstrapping the tank from your back, you set it down on the floor and opened the door to the back of your van. >Taking care not to step on anything, you strip the hazmat suit off as quickly as possible and threw it into the locker on the side wall panel. The clothes you were wearing under the suit remained dry thankfully. >That done, you clamored back up front and turned the keys in the ignition before driving into the woods. Turning on the headlights so you don’t crash, you slowly navigate through the short stretch of mud and trees you traversed previously before reaching the highway on the other side. >You set your GPS to the nearest emergency veterinarian clinic. >Fifty miles away. Tuner !!W9RTnUAAzOJ
>>29858491 >You growl in frustration but still pull up and onto the emergency lane, gaining speed before merging onto the highway with the few others who were still out. >Glancing over at your new passenger, you could see a few drops of blood trickle out of her hooves and onto the seat. That’ll cost a pretty penny to clean. “Just, just hold on, i’m gonna get you help…”
>You speed up to 90. A terrible idea really, but you didn’t know how much longer the thing was going to last. >It lets out a small moan, it’s tail flicking involuntarily to the side, presenting you with it- her, privates. You move her tail back over and continued driving as she mumbles incoherently in her daze. You knew she probably wasn’t going to wake up, but talking helped calm you down. “So you're a girl huh? Don't suppose you’ve got a name?”
>Silence. “Well alright then, how about I call you… Swibble?
>“Uhhhnn…” “I’ll take that as a yes.”

Pausing to think, you shake your head and decide to tell her the truth. At least, she will be prepared when it happens. “The 2 robbers who took that little girl hostage are going to be killed.”
> “K-killed, M-master?!” > You nod. “Our country takes a serious view of hostage taking, Starlight. Almost always, hostage takers will be given the death penalty even if they surrender… For the incident that we will be attending, our Division Commander, Senior Assistant Commissioner Sarah Briggs, is already at the site. She… Uh… Has a reputation for choosing Immediate Action.”
> ““Immediate Action”? Meaning?” “It means that she prefers to kill hostage takers on the spot.”
> Starlight’s eyes widen. You turn back to face the front, holding out a hand as you point forwards. “There, I see them. Chris and the other Corporal.”
> Angela nods as she turns in, stopping in front of the 2 young men. > You get out and walk over to them, opening the backseat door as you tell Starlight to scoot further in. The thin, dark-skinned Chris and his Hispanic friend load the rifles in the backseat and pass you a small but heavy cardboard box. > “7.62mm NATO, Sir. 50 rounds. Magazines are already attached to the M110s.” “Thanks, Chris.”
Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29859390 > Giving them a quick wave, you get in the back seat, closing the door as Angela starts driving again. You rip the top of the cardboard box open, lifting a flap to see the copper-coloured ends of the projectiles. Holding the box between your legs, you reach over and detach the magazine from one of the rifles, which you proceed to load with cartridges from the box. It has a maximum capacity of 20 rounds, but you decide that 15 should be more than needed. Done with that, you attach the magazine back to the weapon and pull out the magazine from the rifle below it, which you proceed to load as well. > “M-master, are those…” > Looking up briefly, you see Starlight staring at the cartridges in your hand. “Yes, Starlight, these are rifle cartridges. 7.62x51mm NATO. Bullets are designed to hit with deadly force at long distances.”
> Starlight is silent, so you just continue your work. You are loading the last magazine when you hear her voice again. > “… I’ve seen… What they can do… To a pony…” > You look up to see Starlight still staring at the rounds in your hand. Swallowing, you shake your head and finish up. You load the magazine on the last weapon before closing the cardboard box, setting it on the back seat before reaching over to pull Starlight in your arms. > She buries her head into your chest while you rub her ears and pet her on the vest. > You do not know what to say, so you keep silent. > … > Angela and you crouch low, keeping your heads down as you carry the rifles and proceed along a wall of police vehicles towards a black SUV in the centre, where an officer is speaking into a loudhailer. The soft clip-clops behind you tell you that Starlight is following close. Her leash is in your pocket, and she is keeping close to you as you had ordered her to. You can hear the soft ‘clinks’ coming from the 5 extra rifle rounds as they bounce against each other in a small pouch on her vest. Mercury !!xznewikzP0a

>>29859399 > The small carpark of the diner is surrounded by a perimeter of Police vehicles, and officers are taking cover behind them. They have their weapons out, some using their revolvers while others have shotguns, and they are pointing them in a general direction. Sneaking a peek, you see a pair of hooded figures in front of a reddish brick wall, near the entrance of the diner. One of them is standing against the wall and holding a knife against the neck of a young girl, who looks no older than 10. The other is standing in front of his partner, waving and gesturing aggressively with a pistol. You cannot hear what he is saying. > As per DC Briggs’ message, the 3 of you carry onwards past the black SUV and towards a blue sedan near the far end of the perimeter. You see your Division Commander, the long-haired blonde wearing a Police uniform with a tight skirt, crouched down beside 2 officers wearing balaclavas, bullet resistant vests and combat uniforms, complete with black boots. She is speaking to them as your party reaches. “Ma’am.”
> DC Briggs turns to look at you, sighing in relief. “M110s, Ma’am. Loaded with 15 rounds each. An extra 5 is with Starlight here.”
> “Good. Angela, pass your rifles to the Marksmen. Anon, give me yours.” > Wordlessly, the 2 masked men take the rifles from Angela. With a nod from DC Briggs, they crouch low and retreat, disappearing into the crowd of on-lookers. She takes the rifle from you, extending the weapon’s bipod before pulling her skirt up and dropping to a prone position on your right, near the hood of the sedan. She peers through its scope as she makes adjustments using the knobs on its side. She spreads her legs, laying them flat on the floor, which pulls her already tight skirt upwards even more. > You cannot help yourself as your eyes wander. Damn, your Division Commander is an attractive woman. Nice hips, fine ass. And her legs are so fair and long. No blemishes on them. Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29859421 > You shake your head. Not the time for that. > Nodding to Angela, the both of you pull out your revolvers and position yourselves over the boot of the sedan, resting your arms on it as you aim at the figure holding the pistol. From this angle, you have a clear line of sight to the right sides of the 2 men, who are still facing in the direction of the black SUV. Glancing down briefly, you see that Starlight is crouched low beside a wheel, watching the scene from below the vehicle. > Well, at least she will be safe. > Turning your head, you focus on your target, the man with the pistol, lining him up in the sights of your weapon. Inside, you know that your display is for show; he is at least 75 metres away from you, and at this distance, it will take a miracle to hit him with your revolver. > No wonder DC Briggs’ asked for those rifles. > You hear a sharp snap from your right. Out of the corner of your eye, you see DC Briggs reach for her radio. > “014 to Sierra Actual. Copy that. Aim for the one with the pistol. I’ll take the fucker with the girl. Prepare to fire. Over.” > She is really going to do it. Not even an offer to negotiate. > You quickly wipe the sweat off your forehead as you aim down your weapon again. > In a few seconds, these moving, breathing men are going to die. > “Copy that. Fire at will. I will do the follow up. Over.” > You blink, and instantly the pistol wielder collapses. ‘Thunk!’ ‘Thunk!’
> The sedan in front of you practically shakes as DC Briggs fires her M110. Twice. In quick succession. > You watch as the knife-wielder’s right arm falls from his shoulder, the blade still in his hand. Then, he too goes down in a small cloud of dust. The little girl screams as she crouches, holding her head in her arms as she cries. > “Targets down… Incident time… 23 minutes.” Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29859429 > Other police officers are rushing towards the 2 hostage takers, weapons at the ready. One of them moves to carry the girl, bringing her back swiftly towards the black SUV. > Holy shit. > You turn to rest your back against the blue sedan, sliding down to a sitting position. Starlight crawls over to your left, wrapping her hooves around your side as she holds her head against your chest. She is shaking heavily. > The sharp sounds of dress shoes approach from your left. You look up as the DC Briggs passes you the rifle, her facial expression stoic and neutral. It is almost like everything earlier did not happen. > “The Marksmen are coming back here. Take their M110s and return them, then go back to your shift. Remember to inform Dispatch that you are Romero Tango Romero. I will sign out for the ammunition later.” > You nod. “Yes, Ma’am.”
> She turns to leave, but Angela calls out to her. > “Ma’am, can I have a quick word with you?” > Your Division Commander pauses, then turns around. > “Yes, Angela?” > Angela bites her lip and frowns, speaking up after she softly sighs. > “No disrespect intended, Ma’am, but shouldn’t we have given them the chance to surrender? I mean, they deserve a fair trial, don’t they?” > The blonde lady regards your Chinese partner for a moment. > “They would have gotten the death sentence regardless.” > The expression on DC Briggs’ face hardens. > “I would have ensured that.” > With that, she starts waking away again. 3 steps in, your Division Commander stops and turns her head slightly, not even looking over her shoulder as she calls your name. “Yes, Ma’am?”
> “Remember to return those rounds that are with Starlight.” > You nod, even when you know she cannot see you as she walks away. “Yes, Ma’am.”
> Watching her retreating figure, there is only one thing in your mind right now. > You are fucking terrified of DC Briggs. > … Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29859439 And break time.
The edit, "The maximum sentence for taking a hostage is the death penalty…" vs "Almost always, hostage takers will be given the death penalty even if they surrender…" is important in my view as the first suggests that there are possibilities for lesser sentences.
> It is also meant to highlight the ruthlessness of DC Briggs as she does her duties as an enforcer of the law, as a Commander, and as a woman in the Police force (a male-dominated sector). Thank you so much for all your support, and thank you duop-qoub, for drawing the picture you see here. I really cannot thank you enough for taking the time and effort for drawing it.

> What country is this? One where the government is really powerful, almost authoritarian. Insp Anon's has a Parliament though, but still...
Handsome Jew !/HJew/rjWo
>>29830131 >Things were going well for Rainbow and Buster. They’d quickly set up a meeting with Rainbow’s old friends, set to occur within a couple weeks, and Buster’s shows had new life and new vigor with his pony companion. Sure, the restaurants, bars, and events from far and wide wanted Rainbow’s presence more than his, but it was still a nice opportunity for Buster to expand his audience and get better recognition. >Whereas before he would only play as far away as Birmingham or Mobile, Buster was now pulling in requests for locales as far away as Atlanta, Chattanooga, and even Jacksonville. He happily accepted most of these, as Rainbow was eager to get out and see more of the vast country she’d not been able to explore in the past. The only place they wouldn’t go was Mississippi. “Pegasi gotta be on a leash at all times? What kind of hooey is that?”
>But despite his inhibitions, the duo soon found an opportunity to explore to the west. Another pony competition, this one much larger and more well-organized, was being held in Little Rock, Arkansas. It would feature a much longer list of events, with a national-scale campaign to recruit potential contestants. The event would be televised, also nationally. >Evidently, someone with the right connections and the right capital thought pegasus sports were going to take off. And of course, the stars from the only other major competition thus far would all be featuring: Rainbow had received a personal invitation to compete, and she presumed that other major competitors had as well. Handsome Jew !/HJew/rjWo
>>29861104 >It would be held right after the turn of the new year, meaning there could very well be snowy or icy conditions during the event. But, Little Rock wasn’t far north enough to cause weather problems big enough that top-quality pegasus athletes couldn’t handle it. But, there was still the question of clothing. >Although the past event had provided flight suits, they encountered the same problems that general-issue flights suits always seemed to: the fit was either too tight or too lose, and some part or another had to be stretched or scrunched to keep a tight fit. Pegasi in Equestria had them tailored for a reason: it was difficult to create high-performance, lightweight, and sturdy full-body outfits without specific measurements. >Buster was prepared to spend a small fortune to get her some proper outfits, but before he ever had a chance to, the problem solved itself. Within a few days of their accepting the invitation to compete, Buster and Rainbow Dash received a phone call. >EquiTech Gearing, a startup pony-focused outdoorsman and athletic gear company, offered to not only provide full tailoring services, but pay them to do it. The only caveat would be the large, bright orange company logo displayed alongside Rainbow’s cutie mark on each side. But without any reason to decline, they met with a representative and signed on. >With one successful sponsorship secured, other companies quickly jostled to find their own place. Suppliers of everything from goggles to protein supplements to mane beauty products caught word of EquiTech’s success in securing a deal, and within days, Buster had opted to shut off his cell phone entirely due to the offers that seemed to never stop pouring in. Handsome Jew !/HJew/rjWo
>>29861112 >A few essentials, such as flight goggles, mane treatments to reduce air resistance, and between-race energy supplements found their way into contracts. The rest, however, found themselves calling an unresponsive line. Buster just didn’t see the point in taking contracts that would gain Rainbow nothing but cash profit. >To their mutual surprise, however, another pony did seem eager to capitalize on his success. Autumn Winds, the only other mare to claim a title from Rainbow Dash, had managed to work her way into several advertisements and sponsorship deals. The first time they saw her image published, it was in an advertisement on the Arkansas Event’s website. The next time, she had a half-page advertisement in Equine Monthly, a magazine Rainbow had opted to subscribe to. >But before that event could come to pass, Buster had numerous activities planned for them. Between his ever-further shows and future events for Rainbow, the two had ample opportunity to get out and see new places. In their down time, they stayed much closer to home. >In the wooded, rural part of Alabama in which they lived, there wasn’t much in the way of public amenities. Cottontown could scarcely be called a town; Ponyville was much larger even before Princess Twilight had made it her permanent residence, and that village was small by Equestrian standards. And, unlike the dense settlements of her homeland, Cottontown looked much like population centers around the country. That is, spread out and with ample natural space in between buildings. Handsome Jew !/HJew/rjWo
>>29861114 >Any remaining broadleaves soon shed, and the forests were reformed into a curious mixture of pines and dormant plants. Having been on tour, she’d seen landscapes like this aplenty in Equestria, but it was still a big break from her usual stomping grounds in Cloudsdale and Ponyville. The wind rushed between grey and brown trunks, and the cold air was carried over stumps and fallen logs. But, thankfully, the many creeks and rivers in the landscape would remain unfrozen. Some nights, Rainbow Dash liked to go out and rest atop a tree branch, listening to the soothing sounds of rushing water and chirping crickets as the season’s last few fireflies put on their final shows. >Any days they had off were spent watching television, a habit Buster gladly introduced to his mare, and various nature hikes and expeditions, a habit in turn sponsored by Rainbow Dash and learned by the musician. In the few years he’d owned the house, essentially since he set out from home to find a place of his own, he’d rarely ever done anything in those woods. With someone to sing songs, play games, and just talk to on those excursions, he now had ample reason to. >And, naturally, his health improved correspondingly. With her mind now once again firmly set on competition, Rainbow Dash budgeted herself a strict diet. Buster was inevitably wrapped up in a similar program, albeit with significantly higher calorie counts. But it was nevertheless much lower and much healthier than what he’d consumed in the past, and in a few weeks’ time he was surprised to see his weight go down by double-digit figures. Handsome Jew !/HJew/rjWo
>>29861122 >But where cardio helped him the most, Rainbow needed strength training above all. With a single call to the same company tailoring Rainbow’s flight suit, he obtained a full set of pegasus-oriented weightlifting and strength building equipment. Custom-sized dumbbells and complex machines arrived at their doorstep one day without any mention of price. The company only asked for a few photos of the gear in action. >Buster cleared out space from his already-cramped living room to give her a proper training station. To fit everything, both the back door and kitchen entrances became a tight squeeze for the still-rotund man. But with unpredictable and often rainy Alabama weather, he refused to put her equipment outside. So, he made do, entirely content to let his pony slowly overtake his home. It wasn’t anything to look at before, anyway. >But just a few weeks before they would meet up, Buster got a phone call from Anonymous in Idaho. Something very, very grave for their farm had come up, and they’d have to put off any get-together indefinitely. Good-natured as he was, Buster thought nothing of it, and politely responded that they would be happy to come visit whenever Anon, Applejack and company were ready. >With their agenda now focused solely on the upcoming competition, Rainbow doubled down on her training. For long stretches of car rides between gigs, she flew alongside the vehicle instead of sitting comfortably inside. Instead of sitting and signing the occasional autograph as Buster played his music, she trained with wing-ups and push-ups. Time previously spent lazily sitting in front of the television became a rigorous training routine; she was most pleased when she found a way to turn her treadmill toward the screen. Handsome Jew !/HJew/rjWo
>>29861126 >And so, for weeks and at a steady pace, Buster’s waistline trimmed and Rainbow’s limbs bulged with reinvigorated muscle. She’d not trained so hard in a very, very long time. The last time she’d been so focused was prior to her elevation to full membership in the Wonderbolts. >But before the competition rolled around, a day far more important to Buster came into view. Long a religious man, Christmas held a deep meaning and purpose for him. His past few had been spent alone; he was determined to make this one memorable. >The ponies, he learned, had their own version of the holiday – a celebration of their civilization’s founding that coincided with Christmas in general date and attitude. But there was never any religious aspect to it, as the ponies had far weaker and far less prominent religious tendencies before their introduction to this new world. As such, Buster was determined to at least teach Rainbow of the specific significance the holiday held for him, and perhaps even get her to appreciate it as well. >Much like every weekend he took her to church services, Rainbow largely feigned her interest in those specifics. She’d long ago learned to space out of conversation while appearing engaged, and had nigh four years to practice it on an unwitting and detestable dummy. >The practice of gift-giving would have to be one-sided. It wasn’t as if Rainbow could head out to a store and find something for Buster. But he didn’t mind, as there wasn’t much he could want for in life (except perhaps that new trumpet…). Instead, he decided to assemble a set of goods he knew Rainbow would not only appreciate, but likely jump at the chance to get. Handsome Jew !/HJew/rjWo
>>29861130 >When Christmas morning rolled around, the skies were overcast and the temperatures cold. To their mutual dismay, no snow fell, and instead a downpour started up outside as breakfast was made and Rainbow not-so-subtly eyeballed the packages marked for her under the room’s small Christmas tree. Unlike the many presents Rainbow had received and flushed down the toilet, unopened, in the past few years, these felt special and valuable to her without any knowledge of their contents. >And so, with that sentiment in mind, she sat down as Buster was preoccupied with breakfast clean-up and opened the first of her gifts. Nervously, she began tearing away at the wrapping paper. Handsome Jew !/HJew/rjWo

>focus on Buster and Dash I was thinking of introducing a different character from Gus to give them an actual rep, but decided against it because it would be out of character for both Buster and Dash, and for the exact reason you mentioned. Also, I have other plans for that particular character. In the meantime, if it's not obvious how hard they're being conned right now (there is now FAR more interest in these competitions and in Dash than either realize), this athletics company is currently getting the deal of a lifetime... Ironically, hiring even a shady figure like Mr. Stevens would have allowed a much better deal to pull through. And you're right, they'll quickly become overwhelmed with managing everything if they don't get a manager. Rainbow Dash, of course, does know this.
Anyway, thanks for the input. I think most all characters are in place now, we'll have to see where they go from here.

Angela scribbles on her file while you glance around the darkening school. > It is approaching twilight now, so First Montfort Primary is rather quiet, given that most of the kids have already returned home. There are a few groups of students still hanging around the school for their co-curricular activities. From your position in front of the General Office, you can hear the sharp slaps of badminton smashes from the multipurpose hall above you, accompanied by the occasional shouts of triumph and the screeches of sports shoes against the floor. On your right is a short connector to the school’s courtyard, which is opposite the flagpoles for the National and School flags. There is a group of approximately 30 students wearing white Judo Gis on the right of said flagpoles, and they are mimicking the actions of an instructor, who is wearing a blue one. > Sighing, you realise that you do miss your days as a student. > Except the bullies, Boss. > You frown.

>>29861795 > Looking down at Starlight, you see that she is standing with her head bowed down. She seems to be lost in thought, as her gaze is fixed on the floor and her brow is furrowed. She has been quiet since the rescue of the little girl (or the killing of the 2 men), and has not said anything else besides “Yes” and “No, Master” when you returned the rifles to Chris. She remained quiet as well when you started this final patrol of your shift. > Further up, Angela stops when she realised that the both of you were not following. Catching your eye, you nod towards your pink pony. Angela touches her index finger to her thumb and raises her hand, giving you an “O.K.” sign before pointing that index finger in the direction of your vehicle. Her message is clear: “You have my permission to stay here; and I will meet you back at the cruiser.” With that, she turns and continues walking. > You tug gently on the leash, leading Starlight to the edge of the step that separates the connector from the General Office to the courtyard. Calling her over, you sit on the step. > From here, the flagpoles are directly opposite you, and you can observe the entirety of courtyard and the wings of the school building that flank both sides of the courtyard. They are 5 stories high, including the ground-floor. The school’s canteen is on your right, and a closed bookshop is on your left. The evening sky is directly above, and it is already a deep blue. Still light enough to see though. > You sigh, taking a moment to appreciate the view as you feel Starlight sitting down on her haunches on your right. You reach an arm over and pull her in, resting your palm on her right foreleg. You hold her to your side as you lean lightly towards the sitting pony. Your revolver holder presses lightly against her lower back. Turning your head slightly, you see that she is watching the group of kids throw punches in the air, shouting in unison as instructed.

>>29861804 “… DC Briggs is right. Those men were demanding that our Government provide them with a getaway vehicle in return for the girl’s safety. Chapter 126C of the Hostage-Taking Act stipulates that “whoever seizes or detains any person; and threatens to cause death or hurt to such person in order to compel the Government to do or abstain from doing any act shall be guilty of an offence, and shall be punished with death or imprisonment for life, and shall, if he is not sentenced to death, also be liable to fine or to caning”… Given the verdicts of numerous cases before, Starlight, their deaths are almost inevitable… So, there is no point dwelling on it; it’s not going to change anything.”
> Starlight moves her head to look up at you. Her face is expressionless. “What DC Briggs did was just to expedite what is unavoidable… At least, they died quickly… Better than other slower forms of death, I guess, like drowning, getting mauled by an animal, or dying of a terminal illness… At the end of the day, death is not a pleasant experience, no matter how you go.”

>>29862421 >>29862596 Yep, I agree that Insp Anon's behaviour is not rational, but then again, when the emotions take over, people tend to do things that they regret later, don't they?
After all, we are evaluating his behaviour as third party observers, so it is easy to dismiss his actions as being "strange" or "inappropriate".
It is important to note that Glim is not just a willing participant; she is an active initiator for many of these events (for reasons that Insp Anon may not actually know). After all, he did not force himself on her (other than the first time he molested her in the shower after they cleaned the apartment, under the pretense of "cleaning" her).
>Actually managed to get her out and about outside for once? Better finger her in the middle of a park! >Just finally opened up to me about the horrifying abuse she had the others with her had suffered? Fuck her senseless! Note that Glim actually initiated these two events.
>Suffering through war-induced PTSD as a result of seeing someone get chunky salsa'd? Eat her face, right in front of a school too! For this, it seems like a mutually initiated one.
> Seriously, how did this guy get this far in the police force being this impulsive? Did Angela just hold his collar and keep him in check all the time? Probably, when they started as trainees and partners. They have... an interesting friendship and work relationship, to say the least. At least, as far as being law enforcement partners.
Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29862421 >>29862596 >>29862728 On a side note, I am curious as to people's expectations of police officers being at some kind of a higher moral standard than others. True, they are enforcers of the law, which necessitates a certain value system and alignment with principles and priorities for them to:
1. Be interested in the job in the first place,
2. Carry out their duties, even with the threat of personal risks, and
3. Survive in the demanding environment of law enforcement work, where their morality and value judgements are often put to the test.
That being said though, they are human beings. Like any of us, they get scared, angry, tired, frustrated, and can act out stupidly or impulsively (Insp Anon is especially guilty of this).
I can understand the pedestal that they are placed on; after all, what makes them different from the average Joe or Janey is their social role as police officers. They are expected to act with integrity, be patient and understanding, be good at making judgement calls, and be selfless and courageous in the face of danger, and all these are more so than the average man or woman.
As such, it is easy to forget that underneath all these expectations, they are still human, with human wants, needs and desires. To expect them to be have a higher moral conditioning is natural and fair at face value, but don't forget that they are not perfect, and can fuck up royally in mind-boggling ways that we are quick to judge and condemn.
> E.g. the shooting of a 10 year old boy with a toy gun. We are harsher to judge police officers than the everyday man, and while expectedly justified, given the nature of their work, isn't necessarily fair on account that they are still human. In other words, we are treating and judging police officers as what they are supposed to be, rather than something that is what they are, which is human.
tl;dr
>Police officers are not perfect, but we expect them to be so as law enforcers. Expected, but not always fair. Anonymous

I genuinely feel dirty after reading your updates, not because of the sexual, but because the greaseball you've envisioned is a throughly twisted monster who engineers his own perception of morality
The true art of it all isn't the story itself but the juxtaposition you've created that's made me want stop reading your green all together

Anonymous
>>29862829 Of course individual police officers will not always be perfect, mistakes will always be made. But recently in the US there seems to be a culture of impunity, where those who make very serious mistakes that have vast consequences on others lives face no consequences. The internal disciplinary system seems opaque, ineffective, and corrupt. How criminal does a cop have to be to actually do hard time?
Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29862863 Fair enough. I acknowledge that Insp Anon is meant to be a 'grey knight' character, and he does some mental acrobatics to justify his actions.
His supposed love for Starlight can be interpreted in 2 ways:
1. He genuinely loves her and wants her to love him back; and
2. He is using her position and emotions as a slave to get what he wants (sexual gratification), and he is manipulating her both in overt and subtle ways.
After all, if he was genuinely a 'white knight', he wouldn't have approached her that way. Or even kept her as a slave for that matter.
But then again, isn't moral greyness supposed to be one of the main themes of a SPG green? After all, slavery is fucked-up, and it would be myopic, even disillusional to pretend otherwise.
> "Because I Choose To" is meant to explore this moral greyness, and try to show how a balance can supposedly be achieved. If you feel uncomfortable with reading it, I can understand that. > Not everyone is comfortable with moral ambiguity, and I know this from personal experience. >>29862893 Not very familiar with the law enforcement scene in the US, so I won't comment on that. Where I am from (and where this universe is largely based on) policemen are treated way harsher than civilians if they commit crimes, due to their position as law enforcers. Internal disciplinary action, and harder sentences in the civil courts. Our culture for them seems to have accountability and integrity on higher priorities, at least at face value.

>>29863047 > this Anon is different from most of the others in this thread Yep, and it is very much intentional.
I have always liked stories where the character is more believable, at least in terms of darkness/lack of 'goodness'. I firmly believe that morality is not a dichotomy, i.e. you are evil or good, but is a spectrum, i.e. you can be evil, and you can be good depending on the context.
> I have gotten into arguments over this, but hey, this is a value-laden concept, so your interpretation of 'good' and 'evil' will differ from mine, based on your life experiences. We will never agree on what is 'moral' if our experiences are different. > Also it's fun to see a broken Glimglam. In a way, Insp Anon IS breaking Glim Glam in a very subtle way, i.e. through 'love' rather than obedience over lack of choice. Makes for an interesting SPG green, no?
> I'm enjoying this green a lot because it's well-written Thank you so much for your kind words and for your support. ^^

I still think you might want to consider the impulsivity the character shows - some of these things feel like he could have been fired from the police force for all the on-a-whim shit he does. It actually makes me wonder more about Angela, since she went from "how the fuck could you do that to an animal" to "yeah, s'cool, I fucked a dog." I liked the first Angela, honestly, since it set up some nice conflict in the story.

> Is it right/moral for Anon to do what he did to Starlight? Again, you decide. > Anon is going "fucked up stuff" to Glim Glam An interesting point that I would like to raise here is that Starlight may evidently also not as innocent as she seems to be. Notice that she is initiating sexual contact with Insp Anon for reasons that he may be not aware of (claiming that she "loves" him after what, 3 days of knowing him?).
The question here is: "Why will a girl be so readily available and eager for sexual contact and a relationship, given that she was raped on several occasions two weeks prior?"
> What does Glim really want? Orgasms? Maybe. Overcoming loneliness and fears? Also maybe. Anon's love? Probably. Ulterior motives like trying to attain security, a steady food supply, or even revenge on her abusers? All plausible.

Since that segment was a long while back, I can safely tell you that my decision to make her a dogf*cker in her past was to allow her to be accepting of Anon and Starlight's sexual relationship. This is the most feasible option to my mind, as compared to other ideas.
> She would be a hypocrite if she condemns them. > Disagreements over sexual deviancy will very likely spoil any good existing relationship, despite its strength (imagine if your best friend reveals to you that he is in a sexual relationship with his mother, or if you learn that your sister blows and fucks strangers at glory-holes every 3 days. What will your reaction be?); as such having Angela as a previous zoophile is the most feasible option (Sorry Angela!) Note, however, that she still disagrees and dislikes the idea of Starlight being kept as Insp Anon's slave. Despite his taking care of her.

It's not like the documents are urgent. If Anon absolutely insists they be brought to him, that can always happen later. If we are seen to be handing them over now, it will cost us precious credibility. Credibility that both we and he might desperately need in the coming days!
Mocha can't have what she came for, but she can bring us back instead, with an invitation for him to view them in Cadances office. He's a reasonable owner, and did not give us authority so we could blindly obey orders that would end up hurting him.

Anon does not have the strength to impose his authority because he knows that without Candance he could not direct the property or his ponies and everything comes down to threats and Candance in vain tries to claim a dignity that the ponies lost long ago while looking like Anon It snatches everything that she has loved.
If things are going to be like this then Candance must appear before him and take all the confiscated material, then ask him to let him keep the harmless material to add it to the museum, if he opposes it simply reminds him that it will only make the situation more difficult For all and will bring consequences that he regretted, no matter how the events end at the moment all property is a boiler boiling thanks to the raids and punishments and those who were reluctant in the past to see the suffering of Crescent Moon and the others Will start to leave the fear behind by the rising rage of thinking that the next victim of the whip will be someone who cares
Anon wants control but he gives almost nothing in return, he must improve his negotiation skills and not seek the easy exit from punishment and imposition or his fears will come true

Anon said it himself: all of it or none of it in terms of control, he can't have his cake and eat it too if we can't.
Plus it'd be good to show Mocha that there IS saying no to Anonymous: as '''''nice''''' as he's been she can't be made to forget they're more than just servants.

New to writing, but I tried my hand at a story. Not quite sure how these threads work, either. Do I share each chapter I write on these and get feedback? Anyway, here's what I got so far.
All the stories I've read so far had the horses get the short end of the stick. I thought I'd take a different approach to things and have both sides, give more perspective to how cruelty wasn't exclusive to humans only. Not quite sure where I'm heading with the story right now, I'll think of something as I go. Anyway, here it is:

Seems like a typical SPG setup, the mandatory bath scene would fit well into the next chapter; Derpy is a mess! It's unusual to see Equestria giving as good as it gets, even as individual ponies like Derpy are defeated. You should explore this further, perhaps when Derpy recovers somewhat they can end up on the other side, and she can hold the leash!

>>29875415 Hello new writer! Welcome!
>>29875759 >>29875853 >>29876191 > mandatory bath scene Not literally mandatory, but it is one of the most common scenes to expect in a SPG green.
Generally, many writers use this (me included) to help set the tone of the green, because:
1. It is often a necessity, as which Master wants to live with a dirty, smelly slave in the same dwelling? Some may do, but it's their choice.
2. Bathing the pony is an intimate affair, which allows for the exploration of dynamics between the master and the pony slave; it is a good way to show the motivations, thoughts and desires of Anon for his new slave, and the extent to which the slave is already 'broken' in.
> Is Anon a 'white-knight', a 'grey' one, or is he a cruel master? > Does the pony slave obey or resist? Is she or he accepting of human (their captor's) touch and orders, or are they still fighting them? 3. Bath scenes are generally nice and easy to read because it is relatable; almost everyone is familiar with cleaning themselves and the need for hygiene (well, almost!).
As
>>29876191 mentions, this isn't telling you what to write, as hey, it IS your SPG greentext story. Only you can decide what you wanna write, so take ownership of it and have fun! Be creative or conform. Be bold or cautious. Be tough or gentle. Be serious or light. Be cold and methodical or warm and hug-boxy. Or, be a mixture of both for everything!

You are her master, and she is pretty, so naturally, you’ll be drawn to her. That, I can understand… Hell, if I were in your position… Nevermind, you don’t want to hear that…. Just treat her nice, okay Sir?” “I try my best to, Hicks. I… She means a lot to me.”
> Hicks nods. “That’s good. Remember that she is a person, after all… But Sir…”
> He leans in, motioning with his hand for you to do the same. > You move your head closer to him, and he murmurs softly in your ear. > “… Don’t let Inspector Angela know what you do to her, yeah? I mean, you are her partner, so you know her type… And I am fat as fuck, so I cannot help if she decides to beat the shit out of you.” > You nod, fighting hard to keep your face contemplative as you resist the urge to smirk. “I will, Hicks… And thanks.”
> “No problem, Sir.” > Hicks pats you on the shoulder as he straightens up. Giving you a smile, he salutes you. You return the gesture before turning to head for your locker. > If only he knew, Boss. > You are grinning now. > Yeah, Brain, if only he knew. > … > Even at the hallway, you can hear Angela and Starlight’s voices from within your office. You adjust your hold on the 2 sets of uniforms in your arms before turning the handle and pushing the door open. Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29879194 > “… and when I opened the door, a mountain of pastries fell on me! I mean, I only asked her to bake that one-” > Angela and Starlight look up as you enter the office. Starlight smiles at you, hopping off the couch and trotting over to nuzzle your calf. You kneel to pet her mane, as she looks up at you adoringly. Smiling at her, she closes her eyes and leans into your palm. > “Master.” “Good girl.”
> Angela stands up and clears her throat. When you look up, she is rubbing the back of her neck with a hand. > “You 2 lovebirds go ahead. I… Uh, am going to meet my boyfriend later for dinner.” > You smirk. “If you don’t want to be the third wheel, Angela, just say so. Lying is bad.”
> Starlight taps your chest with a hoof as she shakes her head. She has a little frown on her face. > “Master, you are being mean now.” > You chuckle. > Starlight is right. Capitalising on Angela’s awkwardness like that? You are truly an asshole, Boss. > You apologise to Angela, who responds by curling her lip and narrowing her eyes. She points her index and middle fingers to her eyes before turning her wrist around, giving you the “I’m watching you” sign.
> “I’ll see you tomorrow for the night shift, Asshole.” > Hey, Angela and Brain can be friends. > You are still chuckling as Angela tells Starlight that she would love to hear the end of that story tomorrow before leaving the office. She only bidded Starlight farewell. > Starlight turns to you with a worried expression, but you smile and ruffle her mane. Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29879206 “Angela and I are good pals, Starlight; we go a long way back, since our days in the Academy. She knows I’m messing with her.”
> Your pony gives you a small smile and a nod. “Dinner at Bridget’s, Starlight? I can get you ice-cream again.”
> Starlight’s already big eyes widen as they light up and her muzzle opens slightly. She straightens up, and you put a finger in front of her mouth. “I’ll take that as a “yes”.”
> You stand and attach Starlight’s leash to her red collar. Then, you open the door of your office, letting Starlight leave first. Her tail swishes as she practically bounces through the doorway. > You pause. Reaching around your desk, you grab a backpack, which you proceed to stuff the 2 uniforms into. Laundry, tonight. Stepping out, you close the office door and lock it. Turning to Starlight, you begin walking down the hallway. “After this long shift, Starlight, I’m getting that grilled lobster and steak combo.”
> “And a Blueberry Crème Supreme, Master?” > You smile at her. From the way her eyes seem to sparkle, she must really be anticipating that dessert. “I’ll eat it out of your mouth if I have to.”
> Starlight blushes profusely as she smiles and looks to the side. > … Mercury !!xznewikzP0a
>>29879238 And end of update.
I tried to skip as much of Anon's workday as I can, keeping only the important bits as I was worried that it may come off as boring to some readers. That being said, do let me know if some particular segments seem rushed or is too detailed; I will do edits in the pastebin as needed.
> For relatively major edits, I will mention them in the "Updates!" post. Minor edits are just things like re-phrasing sentences, fixing typos, and adding or removing ">", so I won't mention them. "Because I Choose To" -
https://pastebin.com/qaSx0kEU Thank you for reading and thank you for your support. I love to receive your comments, ideas, suggestions and criticisms, and I will respond to those which I can (as evident above).

So I'll just share what I've got for my story here. Haven't decided on a name just yet. Since I'm awful with names, I'm open to suggestions for that.
https://pastebin.com/6VC6kHTk >Dust particles remain suspended in the stagnant air, illuminated by faint rays of sunlight creeping through the half closed blinds into the otherwise dark room. >Click. >You remain expressionless as the barrel of the handgun in your hand rests lazily on your bottom row of teeth. >You taste a hint of metal as your tongue brushes against the cold, unforgiving steel that's about to blow your brains out. >A heavy sigh escapes your lips. >It'd be quick, it wouldn't hurt. Don't worry about it. >You angle it upwards, the roof of your mouth tingling at the sensation of the barrel pressing up against the wall of flesh and bone that separates the thing that keeps you alive from the thing that's about to do the opposite of just that. >Your index finger trembles, cradling the trigger of your handgun. >Christ, why are you hesitating now of all times? Fucking useless. >You were fine last night when you waved goodbye to the drunken patrons of your local pub and walked back home alone, an alcohol-induced buzz between your ears. >You were fine when you got back home, unlocked the door and stumbled into the bathroom in a disoriented daze. You looked at your reflection in the toilet. You remember looking like garbage. Eyes weren’t supposed to be that red, were they? >You were fine when you fished out your gun from the closet and placed it gingerly on the dresser next to your bed. >You were fine as you loaded a single round into its chamber before going to sleep. You figured one was all you needed. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882873 >You were fine this morning when you fixed yourself one last breakfast and wrote that note to what remains of your family and friends to apologize for what you've been planning on doing for a while. >You were fine 5 minutes ago when you settled down on the floor, leaning up against the bed, a lit cigarette in one hand and your gun in the other. >You were fine, damn it. >You came to terms with this some time ago. Or at least, you thought you did. >Evidently, you hadn't come to terms with what you've been preparing to do 100% just yet. >Shit, your whole hand is trembling now. >You were fine. >"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" >You shut your eyes and wince when you hear that voice. >"Fucking – you piece of shit, you fucking piece of shit. You got this far, just to fucking give up now?" "Shut up."
>"What the fuck was the point of us risking our fucking asses to haul you back to safety back in Manehattan? Fucking James got fucked because he didn't want to leave you out th-" "SHUT UP!"
>You pull the gun from your mouth and hurl it in the direction where that fucking voice was coming from. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882880 >CRASH. >You whip your head around to see where that voice came from, stormy eyes promising a slow death to whoever the fuck interrupted—" >Oh, right. You live alone. >Your eyes soften as you see shards of glass scattered across the carpeted flooring and the picture frame on the wall ruined by webs of cracks spreading from the point of impact with the miniature ballistic that now lay harmlessly on the ground. >God damn it. God damn it all. >You get up from the floor with a groan, dropping the faintly glowing cigarette you held in your hand on the floor. You half-heartedly step on the thing, stamping out the silky smoke it was emitting into the room. >Shuffling over to the gun on the floor, you take notice of the state of the room you called yours. >The blankets of your bed were tossed haphazardly into a corner of the room. Outdated magazines and newspapers littered the floor. Dirty laundry piled up in the middle of the room, not really making the stench of stale pizza and sweat your room was enveloped in any more pleasant. >You carelessly brush aside the empty bottle of anti-depressants next to your gun and pick the latter up, examining it. >A little dent on its side, otherwise it's still fine. >You stare at it a moment longer, before shaking your head. >You'll try again another time. Maybe next week. >… >You need to take a piss. >"And as you can see behind us, Chicago remains in a state of frenzy, the wounded are desperately trying to –" >You grab the remote and mute the audio, before grabbing the can of beer in front of you. >Crack. >Hiss. >Ah, that hits the spot. Bored eyes scan the scenes of chaos and disarray unfold behind a flustered looking newscaster trying his best to maintain a modicum of professionalism. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882885 >You scoff at the poor sap being heckled by a passer-by. Seemed the guy was asking the newscaster for some help with something. He looked pretty awful, all things considered. Tears streaking his face, ash and soot coating his skin, flecks of saliva at the corner of his lips as he begged for help… That kind of awful. >To say that the war wasn't going too great would've been an understatement. Criminally so. >Immense casualties were lost on both sides. Those horses sure didn't take too kindly to being fucked with, definitely. But then again, you don't remember the humans being the ones to start this war. >Who were the aggressors? Fuck if you knew. All you did know was that the war was reaching some sick stalemate. Every time your kind got an advantage over the horses, next thing you know you got your backs pushed against the wall. Every time the horses seemed to have an upper hand, they met the same fate your kind previously faced. >Like some twisted game of tug-o-war. Going back and forth, with no end in sight. >You take another sip of your beer. >Your mind drifts to memories. Old memories. Bad memories. >Of times when you thought serving your species was an honor. Of times you were proud to march into those swirling portals into an alien land to protect your own kin. Of times you first realized that this wasn't what you were expecting at all. >You thought this'd be a chance for you and your buddies to become legends. To become like those action heroes you all dreamed of being in those power trip fantasies in high school. Finally get the girl. Be the protagonist of the story everyone wants to be. >That dream died when James died. That dream's dead corpse was kicked mercilessly in its grave when Eddie died. That dream's dead, beaten corpse was pissed on when Ethan died. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882891 >But you couldn't resent those horses that killed your friends. You wanted to. You really did. >But they were just as big of monsters as your lot was. >Their villages razing in the fires of a thousand suns. Orphaned children screaming and sobbing over charred corpses of their parents. Elderly horses spitting and cursing at you and your troops as you marched through their town squares. >"Filthy apes! You mindless monsters! You killed them! YOU KILLED THEM!" >You learnt to drown those accusatory glares and hisses, along with your remaining troops. You learnt to pass on the blame to someone else. It was never your faults. >"We were just following orders." >Only made sense that those things fought back with as much vicious ferocity as your kind did. >Beams of light and neon-colored explosions shaking and toppling skyscrapers in your cities... >Indistinct figures flying in the sky, diving down and letting all hell let loose below... >You were done. You did your service, and you didn't want part of it anymore. You couldn't do it alone. Not without your friends. That's why you were here. Sitting alone in a pitch-black apartment far from the warring cities. Far from the frontlines of the war. You wanted out, and you had it. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882895 >Ding dong. >You opt to ignore it. Fucking girl scouts trying to peddle their bullshit to fund 'the greater good' tried your patience to its breaking point every single time they paid you a visit. >Ding dong. >You close your eyes. Just wait and they'll leave. They'll figure nobody's home, then you can get back to being a depressed, sack of – >Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong – "Sweet Jesus, I'M COMING, I'M COMING!"
>Persistent little buggers are going to fucking have hell to pay for, you swear on your life (as if that had much value to you anyway). >You swing your front door open, eyes narrowed into dangerous slits. >Then you blink. >For girl scouts, these folks looked distinctly adult. One of them at least. Guy was huge. The other one wasn't even human. >"Anon? Is that really you?" >Your lips go dry. "D-david. You're alive?"
>"ANON!" >The fucker crushes you in his hug. He doesn't even realize he possibly fractured 7 of your ribs in that bear hug of his. "D-dave, c-can't breathe, buddy."
>David lets you go, his fat face plastered with a shit-eating grin. You can't help return the smile, even if you were wheezing like crazy. Dave was always a hugger. >"I didn't see you around for the longest time, I thought you were in deep shit. You should see what the slavers do to the captured men…" >His dumb, happy demeanor turns sour and dark. >Slavery was a pretty big problem on both sides. Government couldn't keep track of all the POWs, and a handful of sick shits from Earth and Equestria decided to profit from this shitshow. War really does bring the worst out of people. Guess that applied to horses, too. >"Man, you look like shit. You holding up alright? I heard that you guys got caught in an air raid in Manehattan and I never heard about you assholes again. Would it've killed to fucking call once in a while, you pricks?" Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882904 >Shit. He doesn't know yet. "…Dave, man. They're gone."
>David freezes, smile disappears. It comes back almost as quickly as it disappeared. >"Fuck you, man. Not funny. Listen, I've got the weekend off before I gotta get back to Chicago, get the others together and let's fucking relax. We haven't had a Friday game night since forever. You're gonna get your ass handed to you, you're probably rusty as shit at Street Fighter you faggo– " "No, man. They're gone."
>David freezes a second time. >"What?" >You feel your heart sink. Fucking hell, he doesn't deserve this. "They didn't make it. I'm all that's left."
>David doesn't move for what seems like an eternity. Your eyes sting with salty tears, as you watch his short-lived smile slowly fade into a horrified contortion of misery and confusion. He doesn't deserve this. >"F-fuck, what? H-how – what, fucking what happened?" >You spare him the grisly bits. Of James being reduced to ashes, the sickening smell of burnt skin and… You stop yourself. You keep things short and to the point. You gotta be strong. For James and the others. For Dave. >David stands there, stunned. Then, he falls to the ground in an uncaring heap. >"Hahah. T-they're really gone, huh? F-fuck. Fuck. FUUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK–" >Now it's your turn to hug him. He breaks down into a mess of shaking remorse and obscene cursing. You take some time to calm him down, you might've stood there for hours, you lost track of time. He's stopped crying, which was good. Broke your heart to see the guy like this, shit. >"I-I'm good. I'm good." >He composes himself with a shaky breath. >"I'll be good. Just give me some time alone. I'll be good." Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882911 >He'd better be. He didn’t deserve this. The gentle fatass wouldn't hurt a fly. He was up there on the frontlines as a medic. He had enough on his plate, being responsible for umpteen soldiers that were sent to him scared for their lives. "I don't want to die! Mom, I don't want to, I don't want to die!" He tried saving them all, but that was impossible for anyone. Each death took his toll on him. Now he gets hit with this? He didn't deserve this. Your attention is drawn by David lifting a finger up to point at the gray-furred horse next to him. >"L-look. Chicago's in a mess. This one tower that billionaire owns? Turned out he kept a whole lot of slave ponies to fuck over in it. He's dead now, though. So're most of his slaves, actually. The tower's a pile of rubble, and this pony right here is all that's left of it." >"I need you to take care of it for me." "What."
>David shoots you a glare and you flinch. The guy can be scary if he wants to. >"You heard me, Anon. The poor thing's been through a ton and I haven't got the heart to send it off to a POW camp. It's had enough shit already." >You've got nothing against the horses. Not like most of every human else. But to keep a living, breathing, intelligent being under my care? When I'm fucked up as it is? You just can't do that right now. "Look, I'm going through some tough times right now. Can't you find somebody else?"
Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882916 >You eye the pony next to David. Looks like a female, from the looks of it. Her gray coat was stained with all kinds of disgusting shit you didn't think was possible. Scars and burn marks are present on random parts of her body, marring what might've been silky and smooth fur at one point in time. Her blonde mane and tail was equally sordid as her fur, tufts of hair sticking out, looking like they haven't been groomed in years. Her wings were folded, hiding the occasional frazzled feather here and there. What struck you most were her eyes, though. >Her eyes were the saddest things you've seen. Literally, and figuratively. Downcast pale, amber eyes were glued stubbornly to the ground, as if she couldn't bring herself to face anyone else ever again. Peculiarly enough, her pupils were staring at different parts of the ground. Must've been some kind of eye defect. How that happened, you couldn't tell. >"There's nobody else I'd trust, Anon. Please, do it for me. I can't do it, I've gotta get back to Chicago in a couple days. Please." >You can't bring yourself to say no to David. It'd be fucking cruel of you to. To both Dave and to the horse. You're in pretty deep shit with your own problems, but fuck if you'll burden anybody else with 'em. "…fine, I'll take her."
>Dave's eyes brighten. Not by much, though. He still looks like it's the end of his world. Guilt eats away at your conscience. It should've been you to die out there. They were good fucking people. They sacrificed themselves to save you, and there you were with a gun in your mouth. Pathetic. >"Thanks, man. Really." >He turns around to the horse, and beckons her forward. She flinches as he raises his hand towards her. Seeing this, Dave quickly backs off. >"Hey, hey, hey… Don't be scared, it's gonna be alright. It's gonna be alright, because this guy right here? He's the greatest guy I know. He'll take great care of you, I know it." Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882924 >You feel a sharp pain in your chest. If only he knew what you were planning to do this morning. >The horse remains where she stood, now shaking terribly in fear. Dave grimaces and his shoulders sag. >"Just go on in whenever you're ready, okay? Trust Anon here, he's – he's a great guy." >Dave turns to you now. His eyes are nothing like the happy-go-lucky eyes they used to be when he just got here. Now they're just broken ghosts of the past. That was on you, by the way. He forces a smile on his face, but we both know that his feeble attempt to appear like he was okay betrayed the internal hell he was going through. >"I'm trusting you, Anon. Heh, I-I don't even need to say that, you know I trust you. She should get a new start, and I think you'll be the right guy for that." >He pauses. >"You ought to get a new start, too. This whole thing can't have been easy on you either." >He pauses again, and fixes you with a knowing look. >" I know what you're thinking, Anon. Don't you fucking blame yourself for what happened. It's not your fault, what happened out there. You do something stupid because you think it was on you, and I'll never forgive you, you hear me?" >His voice audibly quivers near the end. Guilt is killing you on the inside, and it probably shows on your face. >"I need to go. I'll be fine, don't worry about me. You take care, though. Of yourself, and her." >Before you can respond, he smiles one last time, turns around and trudges down the corridor and into the elevator at the very end of said corridor. Before the elevator doors shut completely, you catch a glimpse of David covering his face with his hands, breaking down in a fit of hysterics once more. This time, he'll be alone, though. The stupid idiot waited till he thought I couldn't see him before he dropped his poorly maintained façade. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882930 >Damn it, Dave. You're gonna be pretty disappointed when you find out that this was a bad idea from the start, what were you thinking trusting me with– >The gray horse in front of you hasn't stopped shivering. >Ah. Right. "Come inside, it'll be warmer there."
>You could've sounded more welcoming to the thing, but it's kinda hard to do when your voice is hoarse like this. Ha. "Hoarse." I crack myself up. "Let's start with your name, yeah?"
>The thing just stands there, still avoiding eye contact. Well, you're not quite sure if she could keep eye contact if she tried, honestly. >Maybe it just hasn't heard you. Your voice isn't at what you'd call its best right now, all things considered. You decide to try again, except a little louder this time. "What's your name?"
>Startled, her eyes shoot up from the ground and at your face, like a deer in the headlights. You're not quite sure if you've done something to scare it. Or maybe it's just jumpy by nature? >"...w-what do you mean?" >What do I mean? A frown pulls at your lips. "What do others call you? Fuck did you think I meant?"
>She shrunk when you cursed, as if you'd hit her with a rolled up magazine or something. >"I-I'm sorry, please don't get upset, I j-just–" >She begins hyperventilating, eyes nervously darting left to right. Her nose scrunches up and her lower lip trembles. You let out a frustrated sigh and relent. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882933 "Know what, forget it. You can tell me that another time or something, just get in here already. You're letting the cold air in."
>She scurries into your living room in a hurried clatter of hooves, accidentally knocking over the bin that contained some old umbrellas, scattering the stupid things all over the floor. She stops in her tracks, looks at the umbrellas and backs at you. She blanches. >"I-I didn't mean t-to do that, w-wait I can fix it, please don't get mad, please don't hurt me, p-please..." >She hurries over in a poor attempt to pick up the few umbrellas on the ground. She appeared to find the task of picking the things up somewhat difficult, what with her incessant trembling and all. In fact, she seemed to be making a bigger mess than before. "Don't worry about it, just stop whatever it is you're doing, okay? Just... Just sit still over there."
>You vaguely point into the direction of the living room. "I'll be there in a minute, just go."
>With her ears flattened on her head, she makes a beeline for the living room while murmuring all manners of shaky apologies. >You have second thoughts about accepting her in your home. It's gonna be a huge hassle for sure. You don't know the first thing about taking care of someone, much less an alien creature. And even if you did, you're not quite sure if you trusted yourself to get that done. Putting another living, breathing person's life into your hands? Dave must've been mental. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882940 >You silently pick up the umbrellas and toss them into the bin in their rightful place. Now that that's settled... >You make your way over to the living room, not bothering to step over the carelessly cast aside rubbish that your floors seemed to be comprised of. Now that somebody else is here, you entertain the thought that maybe it's due time to clean up. >Shaking your head, you look over to the terrified horse, sitting in the corner of the room. Made for a pretty sad sight. And you thought things couldn't get any more depressing, too. >You eyed her, your gaze sweeping over her disheveled, dirty appearance. "You're filthy."
>She flinches again. She opens her mouth, presumably to let loose even more apologies. You raise a finger in the air to stop her before she even starts. "Nope, not another word. Just get your ass to the bathroom."
>Her mouth stays open for a moment longer, probably not expecting to be interrupted like that. She's quick to snap out of it, though. She shoots straight up and scampers away down the hall, making a sharp right turn at the very end of the dark corridor. "It's the second door on your left."
>She screeches to a halt, turns around and changes course, knocking over a vase containing some wilting flowers in the process and spilling its contents on the floor. >Idiot. >Whatever, you never liked that vase anyway. >You shrug and reach for your can of beer, a pool of condensation collecting underneath the can. You take a sip, only to find yourself disappointed by the fact that it isn't as cold as it was when you had some earlier this morning. Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882946 >You focus your eyes back on the television screen, only to find that the news report was long over. An overly enthusiastic middle-aged woman advertising some sort of car insurance replaced the burning remnants of Chicago from earlier. You blow a raspberry and close your eyes shut. You rest your head backwards on the worn out recliner you were sprawled on and sigh again. You've been doing that lately, you note absentmindedly. An empty silence fills the house. >... >You don't hear any running water. What's she doing in the bathroom? Maybe she doesn't know how to work a tap? >No, forget that. She'll figure it out, just give her a bit. >... >... >... >Still nothing. "Fuuuuck. Meeee."
>You groan as you get off your recliner and walk agonizingly slowly towards your bathroom door, all the while massaging your temple with your fingers. "You alright in there?"
>You tentatively knock on the door. You hear an 'eep!' behind said door. "Want me to come in there?"
>You were greeted with more silence. Yeah, you'll take that as a yes. Not like you needed permission, anyway. You could do anything you want in here. After all, this IS your house. "I'm coming in."
Miffed !wkboZiaxM6
>>29882950 >You open the door, expecting the worst. Nobody could blame you for your cynicism with this horse. In your past 15 minutes of experience with her, you came to the conclusion that she wasn't quite careful. Like, at all. You wouldn't be surprised if she'd gotten her mane stuck in the ventilation fan or something. >Your eyes adjust to the bright lights in the bathroom, and you turn your attention to the mortified looking horse sitting in the middle of your bathtub with the bathtub faucet in her mouth. Even in your currently jaded state of mind, you had to admit that was cute. She didn't seem to think the same. >"I-I tried to turn it on, b-but it just–" >You force the laughter that was threatening to escape your lips down your throat and affix the faucet to where it belongs. You'd wager that laughing right now was probably not the best idea to calm her nerves. Wordlessly, you lift the horse up from the bathtub, choosing to ignore her obvious discomfort at human contact, and place her on the bathroom floor. >Water starts flowing into the bathtub, and you position a hand in the stream of flowing water to feel for its temperature. Seconds pass, and the horse you've decided to keep out of your mind begins fidgeting behind you, waiting for you to do something. "Wanna tell me that name of yours, yet?"
>She glances up at you for a split second before tearing her eyes back to the water. >"Slaves don't get the privilege of keeping their names, s-sir." >You raise an eyebrow at the forlorn equine behind you.

>"...Ditzy Doo. The other ponies preferred calling me D-Derpy, though." >Ouch. Well, her name certainly explains her uh, clumsy tendencies. But 'Derpy'? Maybe that had to do with her lopsided eyes? You clear your thoughts. Conveniently, the water's gotten to a nice, warm temperature and you can finally leave Ditzy to herself. You didn't care how cute she could be, you had better things to do. >Like going back to wasting away slowly in your recliner in front of your television screen. "Anon."
>"W-what?" "Name's Anon."
>"O-oh." >Aaand introductions were out of the way. Excellent. You gently pick up Ditzy and put her back in the tub, before walking over to where you kept your shampoo and soaps. You carelessly toss a tube of shampoo and a bar of soap at Ditzy, the latter bouncing off her head and into the water that was gradually filling up the tub with a small splash. "Get yourself cleaned up, and come back out whenever you're ready. We've probably got stuff to talk about."
>Ditzy rubbed the spot where the bar of soap hit her, and looked at the bar of soap which had sunk to the bottom of the tub. She brought her eyes back to you. You were halfway out the door when she opened her mouth again. "Y-you trust me to clean myself up in here?"
>You stop. >... "Pass me that sponge over there."
That's all for now, I'm gonna have to continue another time. Thoughts on it so far, though? Any criticism would be great.

>>29879304 >>29879360 With the help of an Anon, I did some edits to the intro segments (lines 1 - 60).
The reason for that is to blend the intro closer to my writing style that eventually developed over the course of writing "Because I Choose To", so now it reads more coherently. The second reason for that is to include new details that I added in later segments, which were not in the original introduction.
> Do I have to re-read the intro? Has there been major changes? Content/lore wise, there is nothing new. If you have been reading the later segments, there is no new information that will impact what you already know.

>>29863007 , I understand if you feel uncomfortable with moral greyness.
> Generally, peeps tend to be (or want to be) 'good', however they define what 'good' actually is and whether said 'good' is genuine or perceived. Yet, for me at least, an imperfect protagonist is one that i can relate to and intrigues me (as I wanna know WHY and HOW he has that set of beliefs), and I try to reflect what I wanna see in Insp Anon as a character. It's just more... fulfilling, in my mind.
Feel free to disagree with me, but I hope you'll like Because I Choose To, regardless.

>>29884492 Exploring these murky moral issues is what SPG is all about! (That, comfie bath scenes, and a bit of bdsm.) Anyone who buys a slave, even the very whitest of knights, supports the institution. The money finds its way back to those who supply the market and make the law one way or another. Landscape Anon saved up and put a large sum right into the pocket of AJs previous cruel master, so he could afford to buy another innocent pony to torment! He is responsible for that ones suffering even as he helps poor broken AJ, there's no getting around it.
Mercuries story has great character and setting, and I like how the plot is gathering momentum. Inspector Anon is sleezy and immature, but he has a better nature as well, the inner conflict is just as interesting as the actual drama.

>>29882959 Don't worry about people complaining about 'edge' - there's nothing wrong with a little darkness. Hell, if anything it distinguishes it from some ongoing stories.
So far what you've got is a solid start. My real question is, what do you have to continue distinguishing yourself from other "healing a damaged poner" type stories? What does the Derpy (aside from being incredibly adorable) bring to the story? That's what'll keep your story being fresh and interesting.
>>29884492 Nothing wrong with a little moral greyness. I think people are just used to the protagonists here being either straight pure white knights, or very obviously grey protagonists whose malicious actions are clearly laid out.
What distinguishes your Anon is that you write him as a straight white knight, but his actions are much, much more questionable - and so he comes off in an entirely different way. That's not bad, but it's not something people are used to seeing in this thread.

>>29867107 >"it must be nice to have family" God damn shit like this makes me furious. QT mare barely out of being a kid just wants to have a family. She's got a master, slaves she works with, but no family. No one to really be close with. Someone ripped that shit away from her, and nobody ever bothered to even try to become close to her.
Whatever happens we need to give Mocha Cream a real home.

Mocha seems to be doing better than most of the kids who pass through my cousins hands. She is healthy and fairly sane, doing well at a useful job, and at least able to have friends. Her previous caregivers have done OK by modern human standards.

>>29886317 Oh, I believe it. To be clear, I meant we should give her a loving, caring, meaningful family and not just shove her into a group and call it a "home".
I'm not sure I share your estimation of how good Mocha is doing. She's coped, for sure, but she's still missing fundamental components of her life. She's permanently timid, nervous, eager to please... broken. Even Anonymous barely seems to have thought of her until very recently, much less cared for her; but when he showed her the first bit of kindness and she immediately latches on to him to in a cute but still slightly creepy way.
Maybe not completely destroyed, but still broken by slavery.
