Okay, Fast mentally calling Ivy for help ? Called it. The granny being another Synth ? Threw me for a loop.
So now, the trio of the 'Aunties' Alicorns all know of Fast's situation... and Glitter too. Well good news : they agreed to keep it secret for the moment. Less good news : it seems that incomprehension of 200 years-old social norms is the norm among alicorns... No, that's not just Jade being greedy girls, that's just what a good couple from pre-war was supposed to be : loving and loyal to each other. I don't think that open relation were really present during the war... and damn, the pheromones, maybe a spec of the Institute-IMP ? What the heck, do Moondancer really wanted him to be put in breeding stocks to impregnate any alicorns they could get their hooves on, with them all acting like fillies in heat around him ?
...Aaaaaaaaaaand that sound like the beginning of a weird clopfic, or a clop-oriented omake, sooooo i'll shut up.
And so his plans to bring down the Kings and open the M.O.M. hub continue... Damn hope his TF end before nightmare night... he's at more than the half of the week needed for the TF to take it's course... but depending of the number of days before Nightmare Night... Either he just get finished to be alicornified, and a good radiation bath put him in top shape again, or the TF isn't finished and he'll need to fight on the ring at his worst state.
Seriously, i don't remember specifically, but Nightmare Night is how many days away ? No, because if it's tomorrow, Fast's never gonna make it, especially with all of the fucking quest objectives he still has to clear to open the M.O.M. Hub... damn, this quest objective list as seen last chapter looks more like one of Twilight's 'light' checklists. I say light because a 'heavy Twilight checklist' would make Fast's Pipbuck crash with an out of memory exception...
Edit : i did reread the end... Nightmare Night is at the end of the week. I'm a dumbass. But now more precisions still could help me : What day are they actually ? And also how many days since the IMP was injected ? More than four, that's sure, but i don't think that the IMP was injected exactly a monday, that would be too easy.
7874965 Sorry, weak point to working as you go, I lose track of the amount of time since injection too. Can try to list it out to keep it straight for myself and help I think though. Maybe I should have put a countdown or timer as a plot device in the chapters, may have to retcon once it's over.
Kidnapped from the Library let's say noonish on day 1
Morning by the time they escaped Moondancer, so 18 hours or so
Found the Galleria with Fancy at 24 hours- Day 2
Reached Finch Farm and dealt with Sausage Ironworks at around 36 hours
Returned to Goodneighbor and slept until around the Day 3 mark.
Ch. 43 ends in the middle of the night, so say 3.5 days
Shopping at Knick and Knacks and waking up to leave for Trinity Tower puts it at over the 4 day mark
Returned at night by 4.5 days and slept till morning
Entered the Orphanage at right about the 5 day mark
Entered the Combat Zone nearing 5.5
So, was actually on target, phew! One full day before Nightmare Night, day 6 starts Nightmare Night Eve afternoon, the 7th day is up by the afternoon of the holiday. Not that the potion's on an exact timer or anything, but hope that helps. May go back and do some editing to clean things up later.
7875004 Thanks for the timeline.
So, now... hm... if the fight is on Nightmare Night's Eve, Fast's gonna fight weakened, If it's on Nightmare Night day, it will be 50/50. It will depend of the time of day, and of how the IMP progressed. Because like you said, the IMP is not on an exact timer (if a modified FEV injection event existed in a real fallout game, i think that bethesda would be lazy enough to put the TF on a fixed timer, after all, they were lazy enough to leave a lot of Skyrim's player values into Fallout 4 code [No, seriously, it have no impact in-game, but in the code, there's a dragon soul counter that still exist in fallout 4 code. XD] ) , it will maybe not be exactly 7 days since injection before it finish, i can be a bit less, or a bit more.
Sorry if i seem de overanalyze things a bit too much, but that's because i love your work, that I try to pick the story's (and by extension yours) brain.
Fast edit : Damn, i'm looking all of the story's comments, and the first page have at least a third of the comments that are mine... and in proportion to others, they are relatively massive... damn. XD
I'm thinking maybe the TF will occur during the fight (insert Final Form quote)
7877344 Oooooooooh, that was a possibility i didn't thought about ! Effectivelly, now that you said it, it's a real possibility... and now i'm already imagining what can go wrong with this scenario. I'm morbid.
No, seriously, we know that part of D.C. nobility is institute controlled, even if it's by a different sector than Moondancer. Defeating the kings by Suddenly!Alicorn in the ring can cause a BIG social backlash if they play their card right. In one of the previous chapter, i talked about the risk the if Fast wasn't able to play his card right, there was a risk he became an unwilling sandwich pony for the institute. "Hey look at me ! The institute made me a motherfucking alicorn ! Come risk your life for a pair of wings, a horn, or the complete package, they're generous like that !" Would be the message that his mere existence would broadcast. But that's really in the worst case scenario if he win by SURPRISE ! I'm an Alicorn ! And that's only if the kings and their leader are a minimum competent. Meaning, if their leader is not directly Institute-related, there's chances he's a dumbass.
But on more positive note, i can see the gag coming : after some time the arena traps and weapons activate, and the a there's a big puddle of Taint sent on Fast :
Fast : ...Huh. Icky.
King's champion : How do you even function ?
Fast : Right now, i have no freaking idea, but thanks for the pick me up !
King's champion : *crap in his metaphorical pants*
Zed : You know that i can't pay my debt if you steal my spotlight, right ?
Yeah, okay sure Fast that is totally going to happen yeah there is no way you will end up fighting at all... (in case you can't tell i am drowning all of you with my sarcasm here)
Hold on a second... where was Glitter's super guardian robot of stealthy death ? Would have been quite useful there...
Actually it's been a few chaps since the last mention of AssaultJack, what happenned to her ?

I feel like AJ's stealth has made her fade into the backgrou... I feel like there is an "AJ is a background pony" joke here.
Shit I even forgot about her
Val is essentially Cait and yet a poified Cait exists anyways.
Not that I hate her, I did pick her up in my playthrough, but found out my morals hardly aligned with hers, and thus would be very difficult to make happy. She’s a nice character though.
Fast is going to get his butt kicked.
