Well, wasn’t that a nice little series.  Hard to believe it has been 5 years since Unscrewed and Brittleshine’s Quest were first broadcast.  Though I didn't like how that DJ Pon-3 ended things, and yes there have been more than one of us.  There were so many things left unexplained. So I have done the legwork to track down the ponies, hellhounds, and ghouls that helped Brittleshine on her quest to find her sister.

First I’ll tell you about Brittleshine.  For starters she has returned to going by Shoeshine, but will answer to either.  She did not go back to being Mayor of Recurrence since the role had allowed Sundae to come out of her 2 century's old shell.  Instead Shoeshine is now Sundae’s secretary.  Shoeshine also has returned to her task of doing away with the feral population, but it is a more public affair and it is up to the pony, if coherent, or their family if they are killed or exiled.

Now Sundae saw the town through a great expansion.  Personally welcoming the former residents of Mausoleum as well as many other ghouls and non-ghouls alike whom decided to move to the town.  Sundae also set forth a town constitution that outlined a way for a mayor to be elected rather than chosen.  And despite a few fierce constituents Sundae has been re-elected in all 15 elections since.  Though it is my understanding that she will not be running again this coming year.

Also the two ghoul mares adopted Static Spark.  Whom I hear is beginning to gain control over her unique set of powers.

Grrrar went back to Ponyville only long enough to drag the drunk Fleemutt back to Recurrence.  They both now run the town tavern.  In addition to that Grrrar keeps track of any bounties or other jobs in the area, so stop into the Drowning Dog Tavern if you are looking for work.

Dancing Doll was blinded in his left eye and lost his right forehoof due to Vial’s cybernetics.  Unfortunately the wounds were both cauterized so not even a hydra could fix them.  Instead he opted for a low tech prosthetic leg and an eye patch.  He was quoted saying: “mares dig eyepatches.”  However, he did leave the Moonskulls and headed east.  I wonder if he was looking for his old fling: Spirits?

On the note of the Moonskulls they are still locked in a bit of a stalemate with the NCR, but other than that I could not get any information on it. I’m also pretty sure they have moved their base, The Alicorn, somehow as my assistant Krackle Pop could not find it based on the coordinates given by Shoeshine’s pipbuck.

Binary Bit was a bit harder to track down.  Apparently looking into the shady dealings of The Calzone Crime Family has sparked an obsession.  He has set out with the reprogrammed Spicy Meatball and a severely incapacitated Vial to see what became of one of equestria’s most infamous families.  My advice check out near Dise.  If any of the mafia ponies are still alive they are likely to be in the gambling capital of the NCR.

And for the pair of ponies I’ve intentionally been ignoring: Screwloose and Dr. Stable Rate.  220 years, give or take, after their engagement was called off due to Screwy’s condition, the 2 lovebirds finally married.  Apparently the last DJ Pone-3 had personally attended the ceremony.

Screwloose having recalled many of her years under the name Hawk has become a guard for caravans traveling to and from Recurrence.  Dr. Stable Rate has become the resident doctor in Recurrence.

And with that we are done looking at the past and it is time to look to the present.  Yes it is time for the news.  It seems the NCR capital, Junction City, is facing its first high profile murder case. Jibbly, a reporter for the Junction City Tribune, has shot and killed Councilwoman Coriander.  Due to the amount of witnesses and Jibbly’s candid confession the trial should be swift.

I tried to reach out to Triple E, editor and chief of the Junction City Tribune, for a statement, but I have not received a response.  Either it is due to this station being her perceived news rival or she agrees with her employee’s actions.  It is anyponies guess.  I’ll keep you up to date as this story develops.
