Starlight Glimmer stared down in horror as the coliseum floor exploded into activity. The smoke from a single gunshot still lingered in the air, obscuring the mob that was taking place below.She’d been worried enough for Velar’s fate as he began a duel without real weapons or flight against an enemy that was far larger and stronger than himself. But the not-prince hadn’t even seemed to hear her objections, or notice his mother’s terrified eyes.Then the slave he’d volunteered to save had shot him…-

Domino stood in the courtyard, alone. He’d been ready for his (admittedly minor) role in this heist for what felt like days now. The delay wore on him like an acid bath. He paced back and forth near the gates, shuffling uneasily in the clothing he’d chosen for the event, and feeling incredibly silly.Living in Wintercrest meant his options were about what someone in the twenties might’ve been able to get their hands on. He could just as easily go naked, but that felt even stupider. So he dressed like…-

Use a portable terminal. 65%Twilight Sparkle settled the “portable” computer down in Cozy’s cell. More accurately, the screen and keyboard were in the cell, and the three pieces of the computer took up most of the dining room.“You’ll find the entire text of the Signal in the root directory,” Twilight said. “And I made sure all the same math utilities are installed. If you need the mainframe for anything, you can write it out on the pad there and I’ll run it myself.”Cozy Glow visibly…-

They stopped in an empty rest stop surrounded by forest. Jacob felt incredibly fortunate that there was nobody around to see how stupid he looked. Not that it matters. I won’t get better. “Hey!” Harley poked her head in the door, gesturing at the sink. “I saw garbage bags under there. Get one and come with me.” Her eyes wandered to Eric and Danni. “You two, watch the pony.

Gabriella obviously wasn’t from any of the clans of birds who ruled the Republic now, or even the empire at the time of the Migration War. I might not have an exhaustive knowledge, but I had a fair idea about the distinct physical patterns. This bird was indeed one of the Equestrian variety, with feathers in a simple pidgeon gray.“I had a visit from Dawn yesterday,” she said, glaring down at me with an expression I couldn’t quite read. “She told me you might be coming.” She looked me up and…-

Marie wondered if her future self might’ve wished for better chosen first encounters with magic. Nearly dying in a dirty cave hadn’t been great, and now there was a freezing cold muddy pond. At least whatever strange property kept the night from getting dark worked underwater too, though it didn’t let her see through mud and slime as well as simple darkness.Once Silverstream was satisfied with their catch, she returned them to the surface, with another surge of magic much like the first. Marie’s…-

Eric had broken his leg once. Those memories of pain were some of his first, when he was too small to understand the world and his sister could still walk.

But there could be no trip to a hospital for skilled doctors to tend to her wounds—instead, she had to make do with the best ministrations a horse could provide.She could do worse than Iron Feather to look after her. The stallion seemed to know what to do—how…-

The next thing Dakota knew, she was sitting up in Clay’s bed, letting the sheet fall away in front of her. Several hours had passed, and her internal sense of time demanded she get up. There was somewhere she had to be, something she needed to do.Right, the parser! I need to go with Beck, make my case in person.Her whole body ached, and the smell of sweat and other things was thick around her.

Any fear Kyle had that her secret ally might’ve been leading her on for their amusement was quickly demolished. A response email came less than five minutes later. Kara waited on the other side of the room, but she didn’t show it. She’d just sworn some kind of… magical promise, one she had no reason to break. Yet.It was short, shorter than she’d been expecting. “Shit, didn’t expect you to do it that fast. There aren’t any records of this easy to share, I’m writing it all down myself.…-
