"Shh, I'm trying to think here..."

T

The Royal Vault in Canterlot has been sealed to all bar the Princesses and Royal Guard; it is home to some of Equestria’s most dangerous or valuable treasures, such as the remains of the Nightmare Moon incident.

Fate is a tricky mistress; especially so when magic is involved, and now only a short time after the ascension of Twilight Sparkle a new trouble rears its head in Canterlot Castle, right in the bosom of its most secure facility. It’ll prove to be a political nightmare for the Princesses, especially shortly after Twilight Sparkle’s inauguration.

We follow in the hoofsteps of this… new bundle of fun.

This is promising.

As always with your fics, this looks really interesting.

Huh, it certainly grabs you, and then leaves on a nasty little cliffhanger.

Its nice to see this story updating, thank you.

Interesting take on Trixie post-Twilicorn, a student in both magic and humility. That's one of the few ideas from the fandom that I wouldn't mind seeing in the show itself.

I like this so far.

Poor Coin. Now she has to cope with Buffoonblood's petty tantrums.

I love that she curses and swears by Currency, it's cute. I probably would have had her talk like Luna in the Nightmare Night episode all "thee's" and "thous'" but thats just an opinion (and considering that Nightmare Moon didnt use them in the premire probably a wrong one.) This sounds very interesting, I cant wait for more :pinkiesmile:
I like that you seem to be bypassing the whole "She's the Nightmare she cant be trusted" thing with her as a blank slate. (Though bits to bagels Blueblood does something stupid and unfortunate in that regard.)

So.NMM degenrated and become bankeer? Horror intensified.

Interesting idea having Caramel being a farrier, and nice take on dream magic.

Well this story is an interesting take on NMM. I do agree with the whole Elements of Harmony not being able to kill as it would be something against what they seem to be meant to do. Granted there does seem to be a bit of conflict with the harmony of putting what is essentially a blank personality in an adult body.

This is a great story.:scootangel: I can't wait to see more of Coin Counter. You really make Alicorn OC work.:twilightsmile:

Blueblood will lose more than his shoes...:facehoof:

Very nice to see this updated, and ah, the idiocy rears its ugly head. Whelp, time to sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

Blueblood = Dumbf***

Good grief Bludeblood.. your really that much of a brat?

I say Blueblood's punishment should be to have ugly pig iron shoes nailed to his hooves publicly, while having his crimes and petty motivations listed for all to hear in whatever is Canterlot's Town Square with both common citizens and nobles present to observe his humiliation. Following the adding of the shoes, they would be enchanted so they could not be removed for the duration of whatever his sentence would be (possibly add a yoke for added emphasis/humiliation), a formal statement of the shoes' purpose posted in several major papers, and finally the removal of his honorific.
I'm not sure what ironic punishment should be given for Witty Scoop, but give me a few hours and I'll see what I can come up with.

The punishment for Witty Scoop is that, while the media circus about Coin is going on, he's stuck down in a cell unable to do a damn thing.

Hope he has fun, huh?

Now this is how you do an alicorn OC.

Seriously, is Blueblood right?

How in the Baskin Robin's 31 flavors of hell did he get to where he is today? What next, is he going to challenge her to a duel out by the swing sets during recess?

I'm in favor of publically stripping his title, followed by a public gelding. Preferably by Luna, so she can demonstrate how such was done in 'the old days'.

It must be the saddest thing to pair up two good people and have them produce an idiot.

Now, to wait for an update. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

The only thing I can say is I hope Blueblood ends up in a hole somewhere nobody will ever find him.

Blueblood is rapidly going to find himself falling down long stairwells.

In corridors where there are no stairs.

What can I say, it's a Hearths-Warming miracle.

Iin the middle of Summer?

Who am I to question the ways of the Hearths-Warming Spirit? :pinkiehappy:

Truly, Blueblood could test the patience of a saint.

Also, this story has been an extremely enjoyable read, i hope i get to see more of it in the not too distant future.

We'll get there when we get there; I'm fighting off writer's block at the minute and have been for some time :/

Every year, around now, I go through all the stories in my folders that haven't updated in awhile and write variations of, "Update?". In hopes of getting a reaction. Eventually if I do not get any sort of response after a certain amount of time, I chuck it into the cancelled folder.

Thank you for responding

I cursed my lack of foresight into using the faucet to attempt to clean myself; the water could at least be used with the aforementioned bloodied rag, after vigorously cleaning it out of course, to clean the sweat and dust from my coat. Of course my scent and body odours would have lingered. What, was I thinking that I was the only pony in the world?

Wouldn't be too strange if you did, considering that your entire "world" has been the inside of this vault :trixieshiftleft:

I nodded dumbly as the magic from her horn flickered around me, and soon my eyes drifted shut listening to the medical personnel talking about something called amputation.

It sounded terrifying.

It's not for the faint of heart :eeyup:

“He lost the ledger the week after we returned, creating a recession in three towns and a financial crisis in Canterlot which has yet to be resolved.” Luna hissed sidelong. “If not for your support of him, sister, we would have replaced then and there. His bumbling has left swathes of Equestria in debt.”

“I know, sister, I know. I have seen the slums. With the Royal Fund unknown for so long, I too am impressed that we have managed to stay as prosperous a nation as we have. If not for the fact that our gemstone quarries are kept as abundant as they are through magic, the whole of Equestria could have been ruined.”

......how does this guy still have a job? :trixieshiftright:

“Ah, as ponies say, ‘all is fair in love, war, and family humiliation’.” She replied, a toothy and vicious grin on her face.

:trollestia:

Princess Celestia read furiously as she strolled down the halls of the castle she called home. Not too long ago, she would have called it her castle, but with the return of her sister, and now the miracle of Coin Counter’s creation, it was more a family home than ever.

I am happy that Celestia and Luna decided to accept Coin into the family immediately when they figured out her origin :twilightsmile:

“You can’t keep me here, I have my rights, and my manager will bring every lawyer he has to get me out!”

Mr. Scoop what part of "You broke into the castle’s medical ward” did you not understand, you've committed a crime against the Royal family :ajbemused:

“I’m sure that the Canterlot Express will survive without you for a few days.” She replied calmly. “Especially when they learn that you have been arrested by palace security for the nth time this year.

And you're apparently a repeat offender :trixieshiftleft:

Said prince jolted from his bed, where he had been reading a gossip magazine’s ‘how to be a better lover’ segment, 

Wouldn't it be funny if it said:

"Yeah so, you know that guy Blueblood, yeah don't be like him... seriously don't.

And Prince Blueblood, if you're reading this, stop, just stop." :moustache:
