The man who likes ponies but also likes monsters... so what's wrong with him combining the two? ;P

Question of the Week #148 · 2:27am April 24th

Hello everyone and welcome back to the question of the week. Sorry for the long delay, I've been focusibg on this short story for the scifi contest and I just haven't been able to think of any questions to ask as of late. :twilightsheepish:

Well, I'm almost done with the short story and I hope to have it proofread and editted soon.

In the meantime I'll ask a question regarding the story. So, first let me establish some things for the question.

The story is going to be a side story for my Neo Somnambula story, taking place in the city of tge same name, specifically in the city's equivalent of a red light district. Brothels, drugs, casinos, black market goods, etc... All your heart can desire can be found in the Glowpulse District. :derpyderp1:

Now while the story is near completion, I'd like to ask you all, what is something you'd like to see in detail in this district?

Can't promise it will make it (especially since the story is supposed to be rated Teen), but I'm curious none the less and you never know. :twilightsmile:

Thank you all for coming. Have a great week. :pinkiesmile:

How blatant is this? Like do they pretend everything's legit, use codewords, physical pass tokens, that kind of thing? Or is it out in the open, like showing off a new augmented appendage in a showcase window?

5778009 It is one of 2 destricts that law enforcement doesn't mess with due to the concentration of gangs in the area and the corporations that tell them to look the other way. So a lot of the stuff (with a few minor exceptions) are out in the open.

If we're talking about a black market, then the first thing to come to mind would be weapons. The bigger, more destructive, and more difficult to get one's grubby little hooves on, the better.

Alternatively, other types of "weapons" may be offered, for the sadistic minded. Things bordering on being torture devices.

I think it would be amusing to read about the ponies that absolutely no one messes with, ever. They provide a needed service that no pony else wants to do so every resident no matter who they are or what they do, from most hardened criminal to police chief to hardened drug addict automatically band together to prevent any visitor to the district from harassing them. An essential job like the guy in gray overalls who trails behind the elephants at the Barnum and Baily circus cleaning up the elephant poop.

All that's coming to mind now is the garbage collector but there is likely a more amusing essential job that I'm overlooking in my un-caffeinated state right now.

“How much is the filly in the window?”
“You want her friend, too? Buy at least two hours and I’ll get you a discount.”

I also think it would be kinda funny if they had drug labs that looked like actual pharmacies, like with techs in scrubs grinding stuff and combining it, and taking special orders at the counter so they can mix the powder to order depending on the result wanted.
