He came to Equestria from another world to deliver a letter. How much damage can a single clueless postal worker do? Even if his world's technology is so advanced, it's practically magic.

A dialogue between a royal guard and an immobilized mailman. Teen to be on the safe side when discussing punctured lungs and whores.

Admittedly it was funny for a little bit, but it seemed like it was dragged out for far too long.

a bit hard to follow whos saying what at times

6517715 At which points does it start to feel dragged?

6517721 I felt addressing each other by names was redundant if there were only two in the conversation. Maybe I was wrong. For now the bold text is the guard reading from the list.
UPD: Painted the guard red.

6517763 Which guys?

6517935 the guard and Vig.
Add up all the charges against Vig and his response then tell me what those two haven't done while they were on a break the law streak.

6517936 I'm pretty sure they didn't set anything on fire. Also no armed robbery.

6518005 Yet. Goddess knows what else they did.

6517933 oh I was reading it on a different format and couldn't see the bold

I would very much like a sequel to this story.

6518822 I don't have enough ideas for that yet. I do have an unfinished sort-of-prequel telling the events leading to this scene. And a few short scenes from the following days.

6519255 Honestly I really wanna see how the ponies and such adapt to suddenly being part of an inter-galactic inter-species council.

6520098 This gave me an idea. A similar situation — a clueless small horse in human world with a lot of collateral damage. But don't expect the story anytime soon.

Now that sounds like one hell of a weekend right there.

“I was off duty, that doesn't count.

I have to question how long their journey to this point was, because several times before the 102 article for impersonating a guard, he mentioned that he was on duty.

6523370 Around 24 hours :) There was an explanation why they were moving abnormally fast through Everfree and later, but it was too lengthy and the guard had no reason to ask about it at this point. "Seven-mile boots" are part of the reason. If you control gravity, you can jump high and far, and every road can go downhill.

The timeline is like this:
Arrival, chaos alert, zombie alert — morning, after sunrise.
Meeting Doughnut's family, following them to the first town — around noon.
Guard catches Vigilant in the Everfree forest — sunset approaches.
Bringing the guard to Ponyville — dusk.
Second arrival to Ponyville — after midnight.
Giving the letter to its target — morning.

As for the article 102, neither really knows how to properly interpret it. They could be wrong every time :)

About on duty/off duty — I should've phrased it better. The guard volunteered to go downstream to search for the body of the drowned chaos creature, instead found his footprints and followed. She sent messages to her superiors, but couldn't receive any. She believes she has the right to arrest him wherever she finds him, but not to requisition stuff, especially outside Equestria proper.

Yes, it all happens on Friday and Saturday.

This slightly reduces my willingness to go to Equestria.

6525082 Er... Is this good or bad?

6517933 OTHER VERSION AS A PREQUEL!

Want to have a conversation?

6525909 What do you want to talk about?

6527385 PM me and we shall find out!

6529565 No official relations yet. And if a diplomat commits a crime, immunity means deportation. However, they can't deport him right now, the gate has collapsed :)

Of course, it's better to call this all a misunderstanding and let it slide.

With everything listed, I have to say, as someone who got Work Experience in a funeral home, I've seen stranger.

All those charges. If he wasn't omnipotent, he'd be in real trouble, although most of those charges seemed made up on the spot. Pedantic police officers...

6530217 Not omnipotent. Just hard to kill. With sharp knives (that double as CNC mill) and computerized memory. And an accident magnet.

As for the guard, she was enjoying her first and possibly last chance to arrest anybody :)

That was a funny story,
thanks

6530642 Wait!

The guard was a "she"?

I thought it was Shining Armor instead.

6566371 Isn't gender-neutral language fun? :pinkiehappy: Besides, the mailman called her "silly filly".

Yes, the guard is an original character, or there'd be Shining Armor character tag. I keep getting distracted and not releasing the prequel, where she is described. But there's a fun cameo in "Deer Me: Black Snow", chapters 8, 9 and probably more.

This needs a sequel!

6759329 There are twothree unfinished shorts involving Vigilant. OneTwo of those will feature the guard too. One will appear in "Kaleidoscope", onetwo will be separate. I'll also try to make "To Sand" worth the original.

Last 3 weeks were very tiresome for me. I barely had strength to read, much less write. And it's still not quite over.

Thanks for your kind words.

P.S. Note to self: finish something already.

:rainbowlaugh:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That was awesome!!!!

Would the story's title and the officer's gender happen to be a subtle reference to a certain manga and anime franchise of (almost) the same name?

7928201 No. I did see the title mentioned a few times, but never read or saw it.

P.S. I just picked a common police phrase, that was not used as a title by anybody on this site. And a police girl can make any story better.

“He's been smiling like that since you gave him the letter and all the blinkenlights and rainbows happened. Care to explain?”

Upvote for blinkenlights.
