Ah, detective.... interesting.

Did you set this as complete by mistake. I like what I see so far but this seems like its just the first chapter, not the whole story.

Dammit, second time in a row. Why doesn't FimFic set to "incomplete" by default? :facehoof:

I'd say this case could make or break her. This is an amazingly well-crafted story from the jump and that it involves a universe that reminds me of a noir version of Power Ponies jas me hooked from the beginning.

I look forward to seeing more.

Now that's a spa scene. Pretty subtle what's going on there, too. At least, subtle to the character, heh.

You know, with a title like that, I'm surprised there isn't a Rarity tag.

She's not the only one with a thing for precious gems. :duck:

I am very curious to see where this goes.

What does she need the private army for? It almost seems like just supervillain accessories just for appearances, given she obviously doesn't put them to use much.

The spoilers make it sound like a bad end will happen to her, but it's not tagged tragedy. 🤔

I'm curious now.

“Crystalline statues of various aquatic beasts, alongside Alicorn-sized half-naked equines holding up the roof in the lobby,” Jade pointed out.

Are alicorns drastically taller than non-alicorns in this verse or just slightly taller?

One must always be prepared. That, and it keeps the assets out of the hands of any rivals.

Yeah, this is a more subtle lore detail. Alicorns are basically "mythical beasts" in this universe by this point in time.

Does that mean they aren't immortal, or are they simply keeping hidden?

“Scarlet… There was potential. But no. Scarlet… What use is this money? This power? Another temporary den? Another drinking binge? Another hollow gratification?” The serpent’s snout came in direct contact with her own, ruffling her coat. “Starlite… It is not so. We can be great. ”

Well, if she wants to mold her to something else, at least Scarlett gets to keep her goals?

I'm actually quite surprised the story continues after this chapter. Usually the ones I read end like this. I'm curious how it goes.

Bit of a copout on our part, but the answer is left intentionally vague.

Lol, did Numinous even register that the suit was controlling what Starlite was saying?

Numinous is the one making her say those things, while she acts like Starlite wanted to say them. So it's like she's playing dolls with her pet, making her be someone frustrating so she can be used as a stress toy. I'll make some edits so this is more obvious.

10476612
Ah, that makes sense. Yeah it was not clear Numinous was the one controlling her words directly.

The quality here is really high. Keep up the fantastic work.

Ah, I was wondering where this was going after Scarlet's conversion. Is this where you plan to leave things or is it a sequel hook?

I like this. But I also feel like I missed something.

So the heck happened?
