Nice chapter, though with the platforms? I forget which city this is set in? and what's with the platforms? :D

Well... This is something I'd meant to establish in another story, but this one got written first. Basically, Canterlot in this universe started out as a mining town in the side of a large mountain, in a cave exposed to the outside. Later on, it started getting built up, and at the time of the story, is built out of 16 platforms made out of steel and anchored to the mountain by massive chains, with each platform being its own district. Platform 5 is "living space", but has become a slum. The one below that is Platform 4, which is all industrial.

I've got maps of all of these, but I suck at drawing and need to scan them.

tl;dr Canterlot's built out of 16 city-platforms, but that knowledge isn't required to enjoy the story!

Only real criticism is that Gjinka's accent is written really thickly - it makes it near impossible to understand. Maybe just tone it down a teensy tiny little bit, people will still get the jist if only one or two sounds get changed instead of all of them.

Ahhhh... That might be a little tricky to do. I mostly use an online Jägerspeak translator to get it like that, with a few touch-ups. Do any sentences really stand out in particular?

“Ja, ja, bot only because de numbers annoy me und de front desk iz runnink hyu ragged. She already has de cote secretary look gon, might as vell pot it to goot use.”

It makes sense to me now since I've already read through and deciphered it, but it took me a fair bit to do so when I was reading it and kind of drew the flow of the story, at least to me, to a grinding halt.

Ah, okay. That was one of the earliest ones I wrote, before I nailed down her syntax. I'll see about revising it soon as I get to a proper keyboard.

Alright, had a second go at it. What do you think?

“Ja, ja. De numbers annoy me und de front desk iz runnink hyu ragged, Sqveegee. She already has de cote secretary look, might as vell pot it to goot use.”

That looks muuuch easier to read. Also I now know who Gjinka was talking to, so woo!

I find it amusing that Momma Gjinka uses Jaegerspeak...

Dat new headcanon iz aczepted.

Glad you like! Although it's not the first time she's made an appearance in the Sparkyverse...

Love it; just as good as the first chapter if not better. Tho the offer to be a "companion" was kinda of unexpected at least for me WHICH IS A GOOD THING! overall great story cant wait for the next chapter. Cant wait to see what happens!!! :3

Came for the clop (in more ways than one), and stayed for the story. I liked how you didn't leave it at the first chapter, where we wouldn't know if she'd gotten home or how she would be able to pay her bills and such. Certainly a nice resolution to that. And the very short, sweet hint of actual romance at the end. (Actual as in not purchased, but from the heart.) That was really nice. :pinkiesmile:

6041584 Maps are my shit. I would love to see these!:pinkiehappy:

Heh. Alright, but I warn you, they're not very good yet. I can never quite seem to find the time to work on them, and my scanner—when I still had it—didn't quite fit my sketchbook.

Here's the first one.

Whuzzahuh? Silky? No, she's a Unicorn.

If you mean the cover art, that's Cadance. It really doesn't fit the setting, but it's also the only image I could find that sort of did.

When will this be updated?

6515538
Uh... I'm gonna say "soon". I've been kind of overloaded with projects, but this is definitely at the top of my to-do list.

6515717 good enough for me!

Please continue, this is very interesting. Will Silky ever be returning to the Golden Cat though?

6629891
Hey, thanks! And I really am trying to get my crap together here, I've got a to-do list three pages long... Sorry it's taking so long.

(Oh, and to answer your question: She's yet to answer that question herself, but eventually, yes.)

Oh, for those who may not have understood the 'Mare's Leg' reference: http://www.chiappafirearms.com/product/824

Heh, thank you. That's exactly right, and I even got a little story about why it exists in this universe as such, but that'll have to wait for another time. (Soonish! I promise!)
