not bad for a start...but there is the part "They speak equestrian!" the purple one, probably twilight, says suddenly, Frosty only heard the nickname Twi from a southern voice, so that part should be "They speak equestrian!" the purple one, probably 'Twi', says suddenly

4301652 We'll be seeing a lot more lyra pretty soon....:pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy:

4302249 I wouldn't be surprised if she knew about the waygate. I can also see her kidnapping one of them.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD, THANK YOU

4306067 I love them! They're my third favorite band, followed by evanescence and disturbed.:pinkiesmile:

Where's Bon Bon when you need her!?

4310402 All will be explained in due time. :eeyup:

If Bon Bon is Lyra's roommate in this alternate universe, then this will be an interesting scenario in the foreseeable future.:pinkiecrazy:

Sorry the next chapter is taking a bit guys, I was busy. I'll have the next chapter out today. :twilightsheepish:

How does Frosty compensate for his poor eyesight?

Albinism causes low vision. The best any albino is ever going to manage is 20/40 corrected, and that would be awesomely lucky... my husband's 20/70 with the best correction he can get. The lack of pigmentation in the retina causes severe photosensitivity and poor resolution, so the vision can't get perfect even with glasses. So it always kind of weirds me out when an albino is killing people with a gun and there's no explanation of how he's managing this.

It's not impossible for an albino to be an expert assassin -- a lot of practice, and maybe some adaptive technology. He'd be better with a rifle with a sight than a pistol, though. And probably he'd be best with knife work in close quarters, particularly in the dark (in darkness, albinos make better use of what little light there is, due to photosensitivity, so they actually have an advantage at night as long as no one shines a bright light in their eyes.) This would be better with some acknowledgement that Frosty is not just cool-looking but actually has a disability, and how he's overcoming it to do a job that normally people with his disability would be terrible at.

Another thing you should know: most albinos have eyes that wobble back and forth. They themselves are unaware of the behavior (they know because other people tell them or they can see it on film, but they can't feel it happening), but their eyes scan back and forth uncontrollably, the moreso when they are tired or sighting conditions are poor. This might actually be real damn useful against entities that need to look into your eyes to hypnotize or mind control you, like Discord, because you can't maintain eye contact with an albino in the normal way, not if they have nystagmus. Not all albinos do, and usually, the worse the vision, the worse the nystagmus, so if Frosty's got unusually good vision for an albino he might not have it.

This is interesting -- I have a husband and a son with albinism so I'm always interested in fictional portrayals of albinos, and HiE always works better for me when there's a strong character with well defined talents rather than some random brony -- but I hope you get into the parts of albinism beyond the pale appearance, because that's not all there is to it.

4322869 He started training at a very young age. A future chapter will reveal his and Flossy's backstories. And these may shock some people. I had an albino for a best friend, and his vision was about as good as mine... though my eyesight sucks. :twilightblush:

Anyway, all will be revealed in time.
And if you'll recall, He wasn't an expert, he was just a hitman for his hood. He's good, but not a professional.

EDIT: and Frosty isn't what you'd call "normal" even by albino standards. That's all I can reveal at the present time.

.....eh, why the hell not. Frosty seems adventurous.

4747302 Deck of cards or moon and inverted cross?

he puts his tooth back in his mouth? OK then.

oh Ha Ha Ha get it now that is how he got the tooth in.

4781609 Zombie made through voodoo are very durable. And repairable.

OK this is getting interesting

Are you telling me that he gets a yearly salary of ฿31,200,000!?!? Holy Christ on a bicycle......

I was grinning the whole way through...that came to a halt at the last part....Frosty's gunna choke a bitch, ain't he?

4824041 Pardon my ignorance, but what currency is that?

Why, when asked what a human is, they always compare themselves to "hairless monkeys"?

I mean, all you have to do is point at yourself and say "this is a human". Pretty self explanatory.

4322869 Late comment is late, I know, but I'd just like to chip my own two cents in - I have Albinism myself, and although I could get 20/55 with glasses (due to complex genetic issues above and beyond my albinism, I normally have 5/400 vision - easily legally blind w/o corrective lenses), there is a certain lens implant that the United States FDA is trial-running currently that has a type of computerized light-correction layer, that either darkens bright situations through an LCD screen, or brightens really dark areas with some sort of computerized gamma-correction layering that lowers impact of different lighting levels on the cornea and retina by trying to equalize the light received in all environments, which lets the retinal nerves not take as much damage over time; this implant, which I personally have been participating in the clinical trials for, also utilizes vision correction like Contacts or a normal lens implant - I'm currently down to 20/37 vision, which is worlds better than I had before!

5857329 It's probably for the better that you do, less yet another case of fanfictions murdering their readers occurs...
