Always read the contract, because, sometimes, it matters who you're signing on with.
You usually get a manager who's an average Joe Schmo or a below average Lousy Larry.
Sometimes you make it rich and get a Golden Gary.
And then there's The Trickster...
Let's just say that with The Trickster you find out curses really are real...

To all the world!

To all my friends!

I love you.

I must leave...

Twilight Sparkle, becoming anxious at the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration, which she believes marks the return of Nightmare Moon, beseeches Princess Celestia to do something about it.

Celestia, however, has another, more important task for her; making sure that the Summer Sun Celebration goes off without a hitch. Every year, a different town is chosen to receive the honor of hosting the grand festival.

And the lucky city chosen this year, for this fateful holiday, is none other than the city of Manehattan...

Hard lives breed hard ponies, whether by choice or by need. A chance meeting, a kindness rebuffed, and a direction of travel shared all lead to a journey of self-discovery on two fronts.

This story is a sequel to The Art of Magic: Infamy of the Facility

Six months have passed since the dreadful events happened. The manager has more than enough from the roaming nature of the most secret place in the whole of Equestria. The Magic Facility shall make its triumphal return to its home port: Tol Ret Nec. But the journey itself proves to be dangerous, as the minds inside the building only descend further into the realm of their madness. But nothing within the walls of the facility is what it seems. One has to be constantly on its guard to stay safe. Especially when all of the officials are insane and the workers balancing on the brink of it.

The adventures within the building are never over, not as long as the pistons jam and the boilers burn.

=============================================================================
Finally, after six months of being in the make and just under a year of the original it is done. The second story within my precious and cherished Art of Magic series has been completed. May you all enjoy this peace of written glory.
