Wanna bet she timed that question to when he started to sip?
Not gonna lie, that last exchange had me burst out laughing. Good thing I’m home alone
talk about awkward
I wonder if this is just a Nightpone thing, and she's projecting onto the Daypones. Just what was Luna doing to the batpones on the moon?!
Something seems to be missing here
I wonder, does Ebonshield sound european spanish or latin american?
Just curious, i'm european spanish and just want to know how to more accurately imagine her talking.

From FAQ: Castilian Spanish. In this story, batponies are Spaniards
10526805
All of their unique terms screamed Spaniards levels of Spanish. Very interesting take.
Since nobody else posted it yet...

I've long thought that surely Sparkshower and Glamerspear should swap names? After all, Sparkshower actually uses a spear, while Glamerspear is the one that shoots barrages of glowy magic
If I were Glamerspear, I'd talk to Ebonshield and relay how Bound didn't trust her with the day shifts because of her nocturnal nature, and offer to trade her a day shift to show him up.....
Well that was unexpected. He is going to be pissed as Celestia
10526887
More likely he will prank Glamerspear.
Going to be intresting seeing what techniques Bat uses against Human, especially neither have faced each other yet.
The portfolio of pairings is required?
At least its not The Big Book Of Teef.
Man ancient Equestria was kinky, also Ebonshield took the job thinking they were seeking a mare to basically pimp out? Man no wonder nobody else wanted to volunteer.
Je talk about egg on her face right?
That’s a conversational landmine if ever there was one.
10526805
Thanks, mate
The big book of human tech must be pretty interesting for Honor Bound to be reading it like she’s Twilight.

Batponies in ELWGM indeed have a Castilian Spanish accent, as well as other characteristics to them that will later be revealed in further chapters that have yet to be adapted to FiMFiction.
For a couple of examples and tips:

oki doki. For now I want to see what will happen with this twist. Will she spill the beans of Spear and tell him how she is clearly interest in him…which in turn make him realized why she insisted on choosing a work cloth that was particularly tight?
Not gonna a lie, part of me expect that she does, so Anon and her could talk like mature peo…a mature human and pony, clear the air a bit and well avoid making things awkward between the two.
Because if she does, that comment could had cost Spear a way for Anon to invite her as his plus one. You know because of the rule 'don't date office workers'
10526967
Oh, all in good time. All in good time...
10526971
Good and hey first snip of Ebo mind, glad to see she and Spear are more alike that they thought
As funny as it was to read, I want the spit-take to only be because he wasn't expecting the question.
10526872
Her* ^^
10526861
Glamerspear conjures magical, or "glamoured" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glamour#English), spears, which she telekinetically hurls at enemies. Sparkshower is fully encased in "full plate" metal armour, and attacks upon her which fail to penetrate that defence (most of them) will deflect off and may produce a shower of sparks.
But to be fair, when writing I do sometimes swap their names by accident.
10526861
Her magic is shaped like spears when she fire's a volley.
Ah, Spaniard batponies. Interesting.
10526901
Oi! Wut's wrong wif teef den?
10527126
No one expects the Spanish thestrals !!!
Our *three* weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless efficiency...
Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven.

I kinda want to hear Doña Ebonshield do a Sophia Loren impression.
(They don't make 'em like they used to. Hollywood is totally kaputt)

An answer from the man himself. Then what is your process for naming Honour Bound and Purity Ebonshield
Wow, I picked a heck of a time to finally catch up to this story.

Revealing those is technically spoiling at this point in the story, and while I'll do my best to phrase my answer in terms that should not prejudice later reveals, I still advise people reading exclusively here on FIMFiction to **NOT** reveal the following spoilertext until a) after Honour's big crisis is fully resolved (you'll know it when you see it) and b) after the major details of Ebonshield's life prior to joining the Royal Engineer's quaternion have been revealed, and that latter goalpost is still *quite* a ways away: as much as a month of FIMFiction Chapters depending on how much Bobbles chooses to compact pastebin blocks together, and whether he's able to maintain the one-chapter-a-day pace.
Pastebin-readers who are up-to-date are OK to proceed and may even find the following explanations self-evident.
a) Honour Bound is bound up by her perceptions of duty and by what she thinks it means to have personal and professional honour. It's both her virtue and her flaw.
b) For Eb, I wanted first of all something to reference darkness/night (Ebon) given that she's a batpony. It's also a little callback to a game I played in my youth, "Dark Designs III: Retribution!", which features a macguffin artifact named "The Ebonstone" whose name always stuck in my head. Fun fact, that game was written by John Carmack of later Doom/Quake fame. The shield comes from both her profession as a warrior as well as her personal faith, shields commonly being Christian symbols for holy warriors (e.g. crusaders). Her first name refers to the uncompromising way in which she leads her life. And all the pieces (Purity, Ebon, Shield) translate well into Spanish.

I don't think it'd be egg.

Dude, stop it already. The author has already said that any further argument should be taken to PMs, and then Jack, the one you're now antagonizing said he was done. It's over now, and you're just being petty, and for what? Because Jack decided he'd had enough but you decided in turn that you weren't done with him yet? I don't know, but you sure aren't doing yourself any favors given Jack already called people like you out for being toxic.
Anyway, you and that Mist-Chaser person, as well as whoever might have been harassing Jack over there, it's over so act like it. We aren't here for internet drama, and while it's unavoidable to an extent, there are still lines that must be recognized. In this instance, when someone is called out for apparently saying something a certain way, and they stand firm in the statement that the one calling them out is wrong, there comes a point where you need to accept that maybe, just maybe it was your perception, and not their intention, that was wrong. Or an even better idea, and this is a tough one but bear with me, just don't bother them if it's not hurting you.

Yup got the note. I just kinda wanted to keep reading so eventually I went to paste in. The story was just so engaging. Thx for the explanation btw
Eeyup, I'd say there's a good bit of misjudgment going on. The poor man's going to have to re-do all that paperwork now...
That's a really douchey way to dismiss someone's suggestion. Also I have a lot of words for people who are not willing to defend themselves.
Isn't that reaction a little... extreme.
Bloody hell... That was very blunt... I expected more class from that mare
Perhaps her blunt question was also a inventation to a roll in the hay?
That Nightmare has a lot to catch up to... Training, behavior and work related details...
that ending no social tackt at all xD dang ebonshield
lol
The next few Chapters are going to be VERY interesting.
Not that they haven't been interesting already, but now I'm imagining the Royal Engineer storming up to Celestia and asking if she were aware that her little ponies were trying to sleep with him. And her reply that she was well aware, and if he was now on the market, she'd like to put a hoof in the ring too.
Cue the Royal Engineer holed up in his room just "Noping" at the universe.
And why would Anon need to choose which mare to bed? Couldn't he just do all 4 of them?
10527615
You mean he should Tap That Bat?
Pound That Bound?
Slam that Glam?
Park it in the Spark?
Three years on and there still isn't a good one for ol' Sparkshower.
"Which"?
10527673
Take even courses with all four horses?
Become the plower of Sparkshower.
10527702
Deflower the Sparkshower is the best one I've seen but she's not a virgin.
10527714
He needs to at least plow her in the shower.
10527714
There's "overpower the Sparkshower", I suppose. Might come across the wrong way, though.
