Sidestory to Fallout Equestria: Commonwealth. A wounded alicorn washes up on the shores of mysterious Fog Harbor, suffering a crisis of faith and implored to 'Be Better'.
She didn't sense any malice out of him though, just more of his weird inner monologue and the surprising image of herself shifting from vibrant color to grainy black and white. He was messing with his artificial vision to go along with the movie detective noir...
Well when you go noir, you go all the way
"That's the thing about the weird cases... never know what you'll run into or where it will all lead. This one had started with a letter from another of her kind, which led to a certain hospital and a waiting identity crisis, which of course led to a lot of drinks...
Ahh the letter from Fast, yeah that hospital visit would give him an identity crisis
Being a detective should be foal's play for a telepath, how hard could it really be?
While you would have an advantage, there is still the matter of stringing the information together
Though she had no idea where he'd ever find a trenchcoat in her size.
He knows a guy (Fast), who knows a gal (Sassy)
a tall alicorn or a synthetic pony.
Replace the "or" with "and", and that would be the beginning of a great joke
I.... I can force answers out of them if you want, I don't think I should do that anymore though... unless I have to, but you're the boss, I... I trust your judgement more than my own at the moment."
Growth... wonderful, glorious growth
Vira gave a little whinny of pride at the praise, that felt good... being a good pony wasn't so bad, she liked playing detective and helping anyway.
We have a future detective on our hooves (since she wants to find Fast enyway this wold be a good line of business for her, and she is telepathic ++++ all around)
She was going to be a good pony, for herself...
EEEEEEEEHHHH
(In case no ones noticed it yet, i love when these ladies experiance personal growth, it makes me feel like some of the Goddess's potential is being used like she could have used it )
The alicorn and the synth walked side by side down the creaking docks, into the unknown and following the case wherever it led.
please don´t end it here, please don´t end it here
Though she supposed now that she had a few emotions under her wings, the good ones wouldn't mean as much without the bad ones.
I know this wasn't quite a Doctor reference but I think he'd be proud of Vira
A frog? Yes, some kind of mutated frog apparently, about half the size of a normal pony, thick, rubbery grey-green hide, a stubby, finned tail slapping the ground as it hopped. The thing's pale throat ballooned out with a deep croak and it suddenly spit at her, thick, viscuous gunk arcing through the air Virescent dodged away from in a panic and then froze, literally....
If these things are in any way like the damn Anglers Vira is not going to have a fun time because those things were probably the hardest things to kill in the game (DLC and vanilla) aside form Fog Crawlers
I just remembered something. Wasn’t there a mention of another institute facility on an island somewhere in the main story? If so, could some of stable 111 be here?
"Then I'll ask, that's all I can do, then I must return home. As you say, I'm a tourist, this isn't my place." Virescent answered gruffly, hoping that would be enough and somewhat annoyed. Did ponies often come right up and just ask strangers for help?
Yup... well, only if you have the "Protagonist" status effect on you
("Now there's something you don't see every day in a charming little hole like this, an alicorn dame looking me over like my tail was on fire and my mane was catching. What was one of her kind doing out this way? This one was dressed like a local and filling that sweater of hers to bursting in all the right places, legs that went all the way up to the top floor, then a few floors more to the penthouse in the clouds just for good measure. What's more she had a plot like a good Daring Do novel; epic, full of adventure, a pair of strong leading characters, and lots of ups and downs.
She had the look of trouble, but my kind of trouble. The way this dame swayed those flanks like a metronome was enough to worry she might just send the Cap'n for a swim off the docks if she made a sharp turn, flank checked by a caboose that lived up to the goddess moniker. When the blob that made those mares built this one, she was generous with the curves and downright lavish with that wiggling rump that...")

This is looking pretty good, I like it.
You mentioned a pink tinge to the fog in the previous chapter...makes one wonder.
Still so focused on that

A tall alicorn and a synthetic pony walk into a bar... (what happens next ?)
..... oh wait, that´s what´s going to happen in the next chapter isn´t it
oh... so this is where is the new chapter went... You got me worried for a second
I am very much enjoying this side story to Commonwealth. lots of character growth for Vira. I also like Vira as a nick name.
A Lannister Islander always pays their debts.

Same boat here kind of wonder if some Zebra magic has been sitting around for a few centuries

Creepy vibes.

Nick's monologs are amazing
Amazing
They're certainly make for an interesting duo
