    The local crime syndicate sees Miller's lack of ID as an advantage.  Before too long, our poor former human is eyeball-deep in the scum of Canterlot.  Forget going home - the challenge is trying to stay one step ahead of police, criminals, and a pair of persistent mares.

    >>1640852 I'll have to go and check "Journal", but I'm fairly certain those are opium poppies, because Kurt Cobain was a heroin addict.

    I'd fall back into a field of normal(if there are any) poppies for this fic, though. :rainbowkiss:

    But yeah, I've been doing that for a week or so now. It does wonders for me, I've gotten like 30 watches from it.

    I had a single question. It was a very important one. “Does the word ‘MasterCard’ mean anything to you?”

    She frowned. “I think he works at the ID office.”

    Ha, I loved this part.

    Also, he refers to the winged ponies as pegasi before he learns that that is what they're called. How does he know?

    The idea of referring to a horse with wings as a ‘Pegasus’ dates back to the Greeks, and it remains prominent to this day. Our culture has molded us to the point where ‘horse with wings’ is associated with the name ‘Pegasus'. Or at least, that's what my 7th grade history teacher said. Poor guy had to quit when his wife got the better paying job.

    I would told that somepony would find me when the first payment came due.

    I think you mean I was told but anyways... the main thing that really stood out to me was that Miller knew where he was, Equestira, despite never having heard of it before and there wasn't a reference to tell us how he figured out where he was. Seeing as he figured out that he was in Canterlot from the paper work I'd say that's probably the most logical place for him to realize where he is.

    Anyways, I'm looking forward to reading this tale. The description sounded pretty good to me and from reading this chapter I'd say it holds some promise. :twilightsmile:

    To tell you the truth, I haven't seen many HiE stories where there's no plotline ruining an otherwise normal life. That scene just seems to have ruined an otherwise pleasant life, filled with a job, and countless other niceties. This I assume, since it's Equestria we're talking about.

    I would have made the hospital bill somewhat persistent, or given two mares an interest in him instead of one. Both would put him in an awkward position, and thus exists conflict, and yet a nice Equestrian life survives. He'd also get an ID, after he divulges that he does not yet have one. Such a perfect beginning. Such a shame to ruin it.

    Brush the attack off as a one time occurence, and change the description, if you think my ideas are worth their electricity consumption, that is. It's your story though, I'm just calling it as I see it, and I would never force you into this. :yay:

    He's human, and we're human, so this doesn't mean much to us, but he might be considering the ramifications of everyday figures of speech by now.  I know it's cliche, but he had already begun taking notice of this in previous thoughts. Magic damn it, I'm not sure what he would do in this situation! :raritycry:

    Hmm, having a cutie mark that depicts a drug is even more suspect than constantly red eyes, not to mention harder to hide (unless you're Babs Seed.)

      

    A thought:  If crime is one's special talent, is there any hope of redemption for them?
