That phrase has the same energy as this-
Also side note, woohoo Christmas came early and we're back to daily uploads, lets hope it lasts. As long as quality doesn't diminish, if so take a break when needed.
"We're back to dailies!"
Ok, now Ebonshield is stepping into REAALLY dangerous territory here, if that colt is underage. That is on the school and on the princess image and reputation…well maybe not so bad, because kids are kids that is to be expected but when guards get involve things get a bit more complicated. I get that she wants young ones but a line must be place and never cross. Otherwise all of those escapes start to get creepy. Just saying he is in school worries me a lot, because that is a school for kids, not a colleague as far as we know.
So I'm just going to assume he was on last year and he is of age, or the school doesn't end until adulthood and he was just starting to be 18 or so, because I really don't want to think that Ebo is that kind of pony.
Also, comment from last chapter? worse with Ebo, at least Mailedhoof limit himself to soldiers, this mares just pick any colt of a any bar? That is basically playing Russian roulette with at least 10 deceases.
I'm afraid I'm getting too hard on those two ponies but health class really traumatized me…those poor naive, impulsive people.

The Schola Magia is implied to be a university providing secondary education. Ebonshield is in her mid forties, which is within spitting distance (about nine years off) of a reasonable grandmother age for an 18 year old. If the age of consent is sixteen (common in many jurisdictions), that drops to seven years off.
Remember, there's a degree of unreliable narration in play!
I recon the "school" here is not the literal connotation we are conditioned to assume when hearing the phrase.
What is it there in the states, Colleges? Stuff right after High school.
That's the age bracket I'm assuming here.
...Plus-minus pony-world possibly having different age brackets than what we are used to.
I assume the kid's physically mature at the very least, if not likely to be an adult mentally.
Overall of course, that's all conjecture based off the fact that the resident batpony doesn't seem to be downright predatory in her practices.
...That, and that everyone reacted shocked but not as shocked as pedo stuff would have a reasonable person be.
And Honor has self-esteem issues.
Seems mite cliche, but may work, she's an Earth Pony after all - "Blessed with Suck" is the racial motto ar this point :V
Ebonshield the thirsty cougar
How odd she is all brown. Yet this holds many benefits. Natural camoflage, evenly difficulty to get her body color painted if she would cosplay? Dark mares are mystery filled in apperance
Lucky mares get gifted or at least well grown studs to ride there boredom until its time to get back.
I was hope for Glamerspear to say "so for humans" in this caporal with a stupid smile on her face.
10582630
Awesome! Everything is good and hunky dory then! And hey collegue students are basically rabbits, they would hump a lamp if it wears a skirts and give them the OK.
So Ebo has only had to worry to any nasty surprises in her Whoha if she is not careful...but she seems more controlled so she probably used a couple of protection, after all. I'm not so sure if she is ready to be a mom…or Lily now that I think about it.
Oh okay, at first I thought I screwed up counting.
Nice
You just HAVE TO SAY IT, Don't you?
You just Jinxed yourself like that, Corporal Honour Bound.
Also
NICE
The only thing worse than a corrupt pony who cares naught for pony life if it plies his pocket with bits, is such a pony who has a debt to even worse ponies.
Honor Bound might be able to pass for a pony on earth with an eye issue. Brown brown and brown, and brown.
Well it was going to be, buuuuuut now that you mention it...
She so just Jinxed herself
Thank you very much for this early Christmas present Bobbles.
Just how many chapters are planned?
Over 50 Chapters and the story is only 10 days in on a (presumably) a 90 day VIP guard rotation.
May I suggest grouping the chapters into acts / books / volumes (example: Spectacular Seven by The Albinocorn), as trying to find a particular paragraph from a wall of nameless chapters can be tedious.
The meeting with Princess Luna would serve as an excellent first bookmark.
Brownie points if proper chapter titles are added for fun.
10582766
That's probably not the worst idea. The existing content of the original story is organized into six "chapters" so far (we're nearing the end of 'Chapter 2)', though each one is about a novel's worth of material on its own. I'll have to give this some thought.
10582714
Now that fate has been tempted...
10582825
Worse than tempted, he's been baited.

I have been thinking about giving some titled structure to the updates but I don't think I could properly do that until the story is complete. It's not something commonly done for 4chan greentexts.
The "chapters" in pastebin are more just because I initially hit the pastebin size limit and then, after upgrading to pastebin pro, didn't want them to take forever to load. Otherwise Bobbles has mostly been doing "1 greentext update" == "1 fimfiction chapter", with some exceptions.
We're looking at well over a hundred "chapters" using this conversion and the original story isn't done yet.
10582766
This is transcribing a greentext into a proper story. Its linked in the description and I did some skimming. We're close to the end of part 2 I think. Part 6 is in progress, and I doubt it'll end anytime soon.
10582375
I don't get why you're so tilted over this when by your own admission Equestria is an anachronistic setting.
NO!!!! That is not enough! I want Honor to ask the Royal Engineer about the fact he isn't effected by their presence!!!
10582827
And who knows what will rush from the shadowy depths to take the line?
She keeps this up and bat ponies will be about as well-kept a secret as the stealth bomber was by the time it was "revealed".
Didn't she state that was a myth earlier or was that one of the few truths she hinted at?
10583441
I think you're missing a pretty heavy metaphor there mate.
Fresh-from-the-sack
Ripe-from-the-sack
No no no no no

That's the problem though, it's NOT. If you watched a story where Roman legionaries were employed by the DOD and given modern MOS', but served under General George Washington during the French and Indian War, I think you'd be understandably confused. That's close to what we have here. It's not an anachronism, I don't know what to call it.
Personally I think a dress uniform works rather well at a party where few are wearing them.
10583583
Also why does it jump from chapter 54 to 56? Judging by the comments others can see chapter 55,but I cant.
I find the bat lady cringy in the foreign language, then again maybe thats just me trying to relate her race in this particular story with spanish peps or mexican peps. School is "escuela" so magic school would be said by a latin " la escuela de magia" the "g" is pronounced "gh" from the word thought. Latins dont say "camarada" thats a word for someone you dont really like or someone u secretly plan to fuck over XD, latin woman say things more along the lines of "hermana or amiga" sister or friend respectively. Males use "compa" which is short for "compadre" or "tio" tio being the word spanish peps use, you hear no mexican say that.
The execution of the story is very well done, the characters keep their unique quirks and spunk each uniformly: makes the story feel natural and smooth. Keep at it, I will just try ignore the spanish lol.

The school she’s referring to is actually called the “Schola Magia” in *Equestrian*; it’s verbatim Latin. “The Schola” is what I’ve invented as the public university of magic in Canterlot. Eb is not translating its name.
With regards to “camarada”, she’s not presuming to address them as friends in this context, she’s addressing them as her military comrades since they are in their barracks and she’s just inconvenienced them. Additionally while I can’t say for sure that I picked the correct term for Spanish/Catalan from Spain, I’ve certainly heard many times from Spaniards and Mexicans that they find understanding each other very confusing, and the batponies in this story mostly speak Catalan or Spanish from Spain.
10583836
Maybe this is a bit of a spoiler but the 'Latin' "Schola Magia" is supposed to be the name of the college, even Equestrian ponies name it so, not just by bat ponies.
Also, Bat Pony language is more specifically meant to be Castillian Spanish, not Latin American Spanish. Batponies are Spaniard Conquistadores.
Furthermore, the term 'Camarada' (meaning 'Comrade') was plenty used in the Spanish Army of the XVI Century, used in the context of literally referring to someone with who you're sharing chambers or a 'Camara', similar to the way 'Room+Mate' or 'Chamber+Mate' is used, not just to refer to someone who you share camaraderie with.
Shamelessly directly sourced from Wikipedia:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camarada
Honour, at least in the cover art, you have the best smile. Absolutely adorable.
10583828
Do you have some sort of script to custom-filter stories and chapters? Chapter 55's main scene involves Speciast Glamerspear making good on her "Saltine" status with Captain Mailedhoof.
10583923
Funny enough, while both Latin American and Castillian Spanish speakers might say 'Colegio' or 'Escuela', the Catalan would say 'Escola' which is closer to Portuguese and the Latin 'Schola'.
This did get me thinking though. One would think that with the guiding force of Celestia on Equestrian society, I'd be Equestrians who are closer to the ancient pony culture than Bat Ponies are since bat ponies not only not have a princess to guide their development, but also had to survive in a wholly alien environment and with entirely different biology to their original one, but somehow it was the other way around. Maybe it can be explained with the personalities of the own princesses, Celestia being more easygoing and Luna being more rigid and traditional?
Even then, how odd must it have been for Celestia to find herself speaking a whole different language than she did hundreds of years ago, and finding out that the books she used to read back then are now in a language that is by today's standards practically dead and only used by scholars and erudites.
Awesome on the clarification of the language you are going for and the latin inclusion. True, camarada has that meaning I have to admit I got carried away with the modern way of refering "camarada" now a days. I do talk with people from españa and what I have experienced is that word being a an ominous forteling of a future backstab amongst businessmen or a "hard feeling friendship" Its not very pleasant lol. Maybe its just me and the type of people I meet are "business sharks". Now things make more sence.
I wanna hug the dear Corporal. She probably wouldn’t appreciate it, but I feel compelled to anyways. She deserves some sort of recognition though, she put out so many fires before they even start with this motley crew.
So, Lily’s made sure to get properly dressed before heading out but forgot to take a shower? Maybethere’s no shower in Mailedhoof’s love shack, but that would be a pretty huge oversight.
Now that’s some really aggressive shipping her Glamerspear. Have you already settled for a name? I think Honoursparks has a nice ring to it.
It is really sweet of her to give Honor Bound an encouraging speech. Sounds like the corporal had more than one bad experience with colts which resulted in a lowered her self-esteem. Hopefully she takes Lily’s word to heart and puts on something nice for the Gala.
That bat is pretty thirst – but not for blood. Picking up one young colt after another. Was she already like this back on the moon? If yes, I guess the other bat ponies must be glad that Purity (heh) is no somepony else's problem. Can’t wait for the inevitable mob accusing her of using her evil vampiric charm to seduce poor innocent colts (and sucks their blood).
10584118
I reckon she's sucking out a different fluid entirely.
10584133
Wait, so... uh... the 'Back to Dailies' thing was just exclusive to yesterday's update? Or....? Updates always drop around this time of the day.
10584150
It will be dropping soon.
Oof. Why did you have to go and invoke Murphy huh?
10582560
Jontron's words were my exact thoughts after hearing that phrase.
I was half-expecting Ebonshield to show up and do somewhat of the opposide.
Boy, was that subverted.
As she returned to her newspaper, Honour could feel Gamerspear’s eyes looking her up and down. "...Saaaayyyyy... When are you going to find yourself something to wear to the Gala? The clock is ticking, ya know!" -ch 56. Wow I never would have thought Glamerspear was an Epic GaMeR!?
Daily’s!!!
Dailys again!? For real, and for true!? Lol. Was wondering why I had two chapters to read today. Can't wait for the next one later.
I'm hoping there comes a time when Art gets annoyed enough at the sergeant, that she oh so gently headbutts her. Or gives her a concussion. Roll either way would make me happy. Art seems to have a bit of that famous Flutter-rage inside her.
Looking forward to how Honour surprises Anon with how well she understood his book. I have a sneaking suspic ion she's going to be the one to jump him first.
Woof, I need to catch up, especially now that's daily. Thankfully classes are over though, so a lot more free time!
