Every action taken is like dropping a pebble in a pond, creating ripples that extend ever outward. Every choice has consequences, good and bad... Putting on a Crown may have changed Sunset Shimmer's life...but it also Changed two worlds...

Bet on everyone thinking what Sunset is leaving town for is some serious magic research project? Imagine Sunset scrambling the next day trying to answer innocent questions about it lol
Sweet sunfire! That's fucking brilliant, we have even more exposition and we're finally getting the double date!
@Majadin
dry
Nice chapter, reminds me of Shadowrun.
Which is a Magic x Cyberpunk RPG of Old that has, combined with its Earthdawn Pre-History Setting, the most robust magic system i have ever seen.
And makes use of many actual real world folk lore things as well.
Didn't Dash hear this already? Or did she initially get the cliffnotes version from Sunset, and is getting the... rather horrifying details now? Or is she anticipating the others' reactions just as much as Sunset?
Honestly, the reintroduction of Magic into the human world bit is quite fascinating, as well as the magic leylines. With how weird the Everfree Forest is, I wouldn't be surprised if theres an intersection there, making it oversaturated with magic.
Me trying to understand what the heck Sunny is talking about i.pinimg.com/564x/ec/18/aa/ec18aa206024e540712f8b396e677dca.jpg
Yay, Trixie! I love her and her talking about her dad makes me think of a certain man named Artemis
Super excited to see the next chapter and what chaos will unleash
Mmm, just watched the Netflix Scott Pilgrim vs. The World animated series.
All I can kmagine now is Pinkie Pie with magically augmented roller skates and an arcanically focused baseball bat.
*snaps fingers and beckons*
Writer, get that bitch an arcanically focused baseball bat. Bitches love arcanically focused baseball bats.
11751929
Haven't you heard the latest sensation sweeping the nation? Bitches love arcanically focused baseball bats.
I get why the story would have this big conflict happen at the games, but why does Celestia let them happen instead of just cancel? Its wildly irresponsible to pick "have children prepare for battle" over whatever political fallout canceling has.
Here's hoping Rare doesn't try stalking Sunset to figure out who her mysterious "friend" is.
11752135
Well if you think about, if that happened, that would leave the CPA students still suffering under what dark forces plague them, and Celestia's concern is for students of both schools, not just her own.
Maybe she believes Sunset and co. can exact a deadly blow to whatever's corrupting CPA while protecting its students, if not stopping it, then at least mitigating the threat.
I know I'm showing my age, but reading this all I could hear is this old song in my head the whole time.

Sunset’s money guy is either totally in the dark about her or is paid well enough to not ask questions like where these valuable coins with a "horse motif" keep coming from.
One thing Sunset needs to get her hands on is a city map so she can start laying out the possibly ley lines by measurement and what directions rhey may be going. Though depending on which school of thought you use they are not always straight or under ground for that matter.
Rarity want to pry for gossip sooooo baaaadly.
11751783
"So did you learn what you needed for the magic research?"
Blank eyed stare from Sunset. "What?" Blink. Blink. "OH! Uh...Yeah. I managed to test a few theories out on Magic here."
"Oh cool! What'd you learn?"
"Uuuuuhhhh...."
...It would be a hilarious disaster.
11751798
Yes, that date is coming up. I suspect yall will enjoy it. Immensely.
11751821
Thank you for catching that. Its been a bit of a week for me--multiple IRL drama disasters for people in my life left me a bit...overwhelmed and distracted.
As for Shadowrun....yeah, there's probably some influence there. One of my earliest stints at Homebrew world building from scratch was a setting that combined the Post-apocalyptic type wasteland of things like Fallout, the cyberpunk aesthetic and vibe for the pockets of "civilization" that had sprung up in the thousand or so years since the apocalypse, and the concept of "all the supernatural things from myth, legend and stories? All the creatures that go bump in the night and haunt humanity's nightmares? Those are all real, and living amongst us" concept from old World of Darkness into one setting. That's influenced some of my world building tendencies when it comes to magic.
11751845
Yes, Dash has heard it already, in the previous chapter. That's why her ADD is taking over.
Mmm...Yes. Magic coming back to the human world is going to be...something.
The Everfree Forest in Equestria is actually a very important leyline location for that world. Its not just a nexus. Its The Nexus. The Heart of the Everfree is the place from which all the leylines in Equestria spring, a vast upwelling of magical energy that spreads across the world. And growing right over that point? A certain crystal tree.
11751875
Yes. I did mention a long time ago that in my head I cannot see Trixie's parents being anyone other than Artemis and Selena. Because they belong to someone else as characters though, they will not be on-screen or directly named in Rubicon. Its enough to me to acknowledge that Trixie's family has real magic of their own.

11752116
You're assuming Pinkie doesnt already own one. Or several. Its Pinkie. Her hair is basically Hammer-space.
11752033
*smirks*
11752135
Ah. Yes. Were the whole thing up to Principal Celestia, she probably would cancel the games.
However, a lot of big events and to-do's such as this when it comes to schools, are not the decisions of the individual principals. Rather, this is what my mother likes to refer to as "another one of The County's brilliant ideas." Someone higher up the food chain, probably with an agenda or aspirations of getting into the political part of the school board and such is likely the one behind the continued Friendship Games. And given the things we've learned, its likely that person went to Crystal Prep and thus, does what Cinch desires.
Politics are a bitch.
11752225
*chuckles* Shadow Spade is on the case!
11752272
This is also a good point, in a sort of "Better the Devil you know" kind of way.
11752389
Sunset's finance guy (Max Profit) knows better than to ask questions when "Mother" sends him someone to help fix up with finances. Mother, of course, knows a great deal of things about "Red."
As for mapping lines, Sunset needs more equipment than she's got for that, and even then, she wont be able to track them til they're active again.
11753195
All good!
For that there is an impressively low ammount of mistakes in this.
11753195
It's Pinkie. Assume nothing, expect anything, plan for everything, and be prepared to pick up the pieces when you realise you were still unprepared.
The date, when it happens, is likely going to be my next marker to re read this.
Am excited.
And yeah, Artemis and Selene. I know what you've been reading XD
11753206
We do try to make sure we get as much as possible. Editing is a process, and I'm awful at punctuation in my rough drafts, lol.
11753234
To be fair, if there's a Sciset story in existence, I've probably read it. If I haven't its because its not clearly marked, lol.
11754654
Haha. Its a lovely guess, and the fact that you've put so much thought into how that would tie in is wonderful. Woefully incorrect, but wonderful. :}
I do adore the fact that Sunset's genetic heritage is such a point of fascination for so many people, especially because its not something I'd intended to openly address in this story as more than just a "mystery the character has no way of solving, because ponies haven't gene sequenced themselves yet, so taking a DNA test is out."
I will suggest that people ought to look at less fantastical options, and more at the features I've described Sunset having and some of her problems with her own magic...to find the rather amusing and mundane answer for what one branch of her ancestors was. :P
Also, rereading again, I see. *chuckles* I think you're the only person who has reread this story almost as many times as I have. :} I'm glad you enjoy doing so though, and I love to see what new things you pick up each time you do!
11754967
Eh, i will keep reading, because it is good.
And i will be a complete ass about pointing out the few mistakes i actually manage to find in your story.
11755203
*chuckles* its definitely not the worst theory out there.
>:)
I’ll be interested to see what else you catch this time through after some of the latest reveals in recent chapters.
