The plot thickens...
Well that happen we have or version of that crazy lady from pirates of the caribean
Bitsmount's being stupid, and by some dark miracle someone's willing to invest in his idiocy.
10533495
The plot matures.
ooh now we are getting into very dirty politics
i bet the courts have lying detection runes
celestia-... “geld him”.
“!next case!”
10533510
Oh, no. We still got a few chapters before that happens. 😏
Anon is the real problem you damn idiot.
But oh well, arrogance will be his downfall
Oh dear,
If Granny is a pony, I wonder how many centuaries she has been keeping the piece for Celestia.
And that if the entity known as Granny, isnt someone in disguise, Moonlighting.
"BITSMOUNT THROWS SELF ON MERCY OF COURT TO SPARE TRUSTED TEAMSTER FROM DONJON"
Should be dungeon.
All in all, solid chapter.
10533569
I'll defer to TheManFromAnotherTime on this one; the donjon is the center-most tower of a keep, and for now, I presume authorial intent in the use of donjon over dungeon.
Actually Songwell it is quite literally treason.

I suspect it may depend on just on which floor exactly the cell would ultimately be located. “Donjon” and “dungeon” are essentially just different spellings of the same word referring to largely the same thing, after all; it’s just that in the modern parlance “dungeon” seems to have picked up more of a specific “underground prison” vibe while “donjon” is still more the technical term for a castle’s entire keep (in whose basement prisoners might indeed well be kept, though a tower could historically serve the same purpose just as easily).
The one thing Anon can say crosses from old world to his new home. Greed, and all the silly things it causes one to do.
Bloody hell... The want to screw over Celestia and Luna? That guy has gut but no brain... Unless they get extreamly interessting contact to back up there claim... Still i wonder if this will fly. Anon must be very clear about his reasoning and the importants of making a example out of a greedy owner. Constant mine collapse are no small things and having to do so for pressure to deliver results? That might shot Bismark even deeper in his ass...
I scrolled through this chapter without reading any of it. This burn is roo dloee WD for me.
10533709
I'm sorry, what?
10533714
I think that was English, not sure though.
The difference between you and Discord being that you are a danger to society and Discord is... that too, but also a national security asset on par with the EoH and the Sisters themselves. You tend to get a little bit of leeway when you're that powerful... Which is why he thinks this will work! Bitsmount (the Lesser) is used to getting leeway because of his family name and gobs of cash, so the idea that he might actually be in a position where those will likely bring more scrutiny is probably completely foreign to him.
Now this Granny Nag, she seems to be a far more worrying character. I can't wait to see just who this Family are and what makes them think they can subvert the powers of The Princess of The Night?
10533714
“Too slow a burn.” Good god, spellcheck mangled that.
An entire chapter that doesn’t touch on any main characters bores me. Not blaming you, it’s a pet peeve.
10533714
... My brain farted when I read it. What.
10533569

I called it "donjon" in this story because Canterlot Palace is a thousand years old and I figured hey maybe there's some Prench influences going on and they'd have kept a few archaic terms around.
Very subtly, since this is Songwell's perspective and he's imagining the headline, it's also there to show that despite having lower-class tastes in alcohol and not being quite on the ball when it came to scheming, he's not a simpleton.
10533767
I like having a clue what the bad guys are up to, and I hate third-act villain reveals, so I wrote this scene and a few more following it which interleave with the main characters' actions to show some of the dark forces lurking in the background of Equestria, waiting to line themselves up against the story's heroes.
Treasonous.
10533844
Treasonable is correct.
10533851
True, but the sentence structure makes Treasonous the more appropriate of the two.
10533880
Chronologically, Everyday Life With Guardsmares takes place not too long after the return of the Crystal Empire
Ah fuck Granny Rags is here, where the fuck is the Outsider
They're both fools, but Songwell perhaps doubly so. He'd be completely open to Bitsmount leaving him hung out to dry after his confession. Of course this probably won't end up helping Bitsmount too much, either, as Engie will probably just dismantle the confession with a pointed question or two.
Pony Onibaba!
Or Pony Baba Yaga.
With his boss' prompting, they both took another drink -- Bitsmount of his hundred-bits-a-glass cognac, Songwell of his five-bits-a-mug Ploughpony's.
Somethings not quite right considering the location and customer's
10533635
Eh. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bitsmount left Songwell standing out there after his confession to spare himself the trouble. His patsy has taken the blame and he doesn’t have to lose a single bit, and any word Songwell says otherwise could be written off as the condemned trying to shift blame.
10534488
Except that Celestia's been doing this for over a thousand years. She's going to see right through it.
10533996
10534488
Ah, but that's why Songwell and Bitsmount are here in the first place, isn't it? If Princess Luna can really magically discern truth from lie, then all Songwell would have to do is comply with a follow-up investigation. Luna would be able to tell that Bitsmount set him up in court, and then all the weight of Pony Law would fall on him. While Songwell would probably be issued some sort of punishment for lying in court, this could be lessened for coming out with the truth afterwards. Meanwhile, Bitsmount would have to answer for being the mastermind of the plot to lie in the first place as well as the previous charges on the ill-maintenance of the mine.
It's in Bitsmount's best interest to keep Songwell loyal to him, specially after he takes the blame for the idea of reducing the timber allotment to the mine. In the end, he has far much to lose if his irresponsibility and plot are discovered than simply by bribing Songwell with a fat bag of bits.

I might hasten to reassure any handsome colt that Ebonshield seduces successfully in the night club, and whom may be anxious that this sexy thestral-mare will sup on his blood...it's not your blood she wants, son. Domina Ebon wants another of your precious bodily fluids, best delivered hot, mixing with a third bodily fluid that's a metabolic coolant provoked during quite vigorous exertion.
Does he really think someone who's been ruling for some two thousand years is going to be that gullible? And for that matter, does he really think it won't raise suspicion should Luna go looking into their heads and find them barred to her?
10534573
She can have both.
10533914
Is the sex tag for the jokes mention offers etc. Or will there actually be sex scenes

______________________________Yes______________________________
Nobles. Much like today's wealthy-elite such as the Kochs and Walters.
Willing to spend millions to not have to pay thousands.
I wonder just how this old crone is going to block Luna's powers.
Nice, Granny Rags reference unless I miss my mark.
10746554
Oh jesus i didnt even think of that. She just got more awesome and horrifying.
10696719
it all comes down to court precedent. if they let a court rule against them in this matter it would be easier for all others they have wronged in this way to quickly also win cases against them.
Hmm. Assuming ng the worst of intentions, there is a rather obvious way of trying to get around Luna's supposed abilities:
Get Stillwell to commit suicide after writing a suitable damning confession. Can't jump into the dreams of a dead pony after all.
Why risk defeating an ability when you can bypass it?
10533495 like Celestia’s butt after eating cake 🎂
Granny Nags....
By the Outsider...
10533651
Guy Fawks (Gunpowder treason guy, and source of V for Vendetta/Anonymous masks) was imprisoned in the tower of London pretty high up. You can see his name scratched into the wall by a fireplace.
Black market... Contact opens options, but get you into hot water one way or another...

Female Jack Sparrow? Daaammmnnn!

Classic Equestria
10533510
Like a good wine...
10533495
Like a good bread in the oven...
10533517
Yes, and backdoors for enough bits...
10533521
That would be priceless

Vale Icepone got away with it with less...
10533645
Link was full of paper thin shemales, negative review after the 10-is attempt
10533671
More like pure undiluted stupidity...
10533757
Indeed, never worked hard in their life and if even scratching their fetlook they cry as if theygot maimed for life...
The underworld... It's rules by a Overlord with many minions. The price payed is always higher than expected and far more than apparently payed...

Another thing in Discord's favor is that most of the time his antics are rather childish and inconvenient at worst. He seeks to entertain himself by annoying other people or doing things to see their reaction (again, like children do). He could turn the planet (and everything on it) inside out if he wanted to, but this would probably kill everything alive, and toys aren't as much fun when they're broken. I'm sure both Celestia and Luna have already realized this. So long as he's mostly entertained in one fashion or another they're not in any real danger from him. Though if he ever invents the equivalent of Mario Party it just might cause the entire country to collapse. If friendship is magic, and Mario Party destroys friendships, then in theory Mario Party could destroy magic itself.
