Princess Erroria sits alone in her home playing with cards because she is afraid of meeting other ponies due to her issues with power.

A slipstream is the turbulence behind a force moving trough a medium, it's also the name of a short-lived science fiction movement focused on blurring the borders between science fiction and the mainstream. Neither definition have any direct connection to this story...

Magic disperses light in a peculiarly hexagonal way. You find traces of this pattern in the aura that appears whenever a unicorn works her craft. Even the most skilled of pony illusionists can't escape the fragmented edges that reveal her tricks to the trained eye.

As such, natural shapes are no problem to replicate magically. A unicorns thaumaturgical aura sparkles and sways in a way that mimics the shape of turbulent water and the rhythm of a gust of wind, but geometric shapes are more problematic. In the edges of squares, errant magic burn the air into angry sparks that can be concealed, but only with great difficulty and an intuitive understanding of gradients that only the most artistic of unicorns can claim to posses.

This is a long way of saying: There is no way in tartarus that any normal unicorn could store enough magic in the air to power a game centred entirely around shooting pixels.

This story is a sequel to Borderline

Reading the first one is not absolutely necessary, but strongly recommended.

I don’t know how, but Pinkie managed to escape from the Canterlot Prison for the Mentally Unbalanced, adding insult to injury to a nation which has already been shaken by her murders. Sugarcube Corner has been abandoned ever since her spree, but now something is stirring in there again.

I can’t help but shudder as Mully tells me to check on the disturbance. A part of me hopes that this will be just another case of a desperate teenager first dealing with misconduct. The other part dreads what I might find amidst the decrepit walls of what Pinkie once turned into a slaughterhouse.

I don't know what went wrong, one day I was DJ-ing for a disastrous fashion show in Ponyville, the next I was warming the dance-floor up in Clopernicus, Manehattans biggest club. Behind me waited my teenage idol, Astro$RF, to drop the needle and really get the crowd going.

No more than a week later, Astro$RF was the one warming the crowd while I waited to drop the needle and really get the crowd going. But with this sky-rocketing fame pushing me into the public eye, I found myself in an influential position I did not ask for and never wanted. I hid behind my mirror-shades, but you can only hide for so long.

LAIDIES and GENTLECOLTS! Welcome to the GREAT and POWERFUL Trixie's AMAZING and EXTRAORDINARY magic show, where the great and powerful Trixie will DAZZLE and CONFOUND you with tricks NEVER SEEN BEFORE by pony-eyes! the GREAT and POWERFUL Trixie will step into the cage of DEATH which will be suspended in the air by Trixie's lovely assistant.... which I don't have!

Trixie dreams big, but her hooves are firmly on the ground of the dirt roads that leads trough Equestria. There's loneliness, hunger, mass-murder and a touch of romance, pretty much what you can expect when you're travelling...

[One-shot] Fiddlesticks found Discord sitting on a windmill and torturing a violin. This sort of crime against good taste can't be allowed to continue, so she challenges him to a fiddle-duel. "Fire on the mountain, run boys, run/ The devil's in the house of the risin' sun..." ...and all that jazz.

[One-shot] Octavia sends Pinkie Pie a letter laying down some facts about history, music-making and her personal life.

[Two-parter] When Mare Do Well first came to town in the form of "The Pink Avenger", a precursor to the identity, she changed the town in a profound way, more so than most ponies, who know her mainly as an obscure old comic book superhero, realizes. Could it be that the mysterious pink avenger just never went away? What secrets are hidden under a thin layer of dye?

[One-shot]
"Heh, in the tracks I play, the breakdown is supposed to be the good part. Most ponies love a good beat, but they are all waiting for the drop. However, now that I've arrived at the breakdown of my own song, I'm not sure I'm quite ready for it..."

[Episodic] Growing roses requires a lot of time and patience, and a little help from the elements.
