Read Starlight Over Detrot with me.

The story is about.

Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.

They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.

The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to stick more than a cupcake into the very eye of Detrot.

Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.

Act One, Chapter 5: The Best Little Whorehouse in Equestria

Chapter 5: Published August 25th 2012 was on a Saturday and was in week 34 of 2012.

As of this writing it was 3140 days ago



HEY LOOK! I can say the title without bursting out and laughing! Only took me sleeping on it. 

Okay, honestly, if I'm reading the scholar's words correctly, I think I like this view on sex work. 

they were part of that rarest of commodities in Detrot; their communities.

I love how important communities are in this story. Honestly, all communities should be this important. 

... you know, you keep giving us names of the different branches of the DPD. I need to throw them in who's who... looks like I need another read through

We passed a pair of foals, a pegasus and a unicorn, splashing in a puddle left by the recent rain shower. As the little unicorn magicked up a ball of water and tossed it at her friend, he hopped into the air to dodge it, then they fell into a giggling heap against each other, just enjoying their day together. Just watching them my heart felt a little lighter

:) all the world building of this chapter is amazing, and I'm not talking very much because I am having to much fun just picturing it.  I don't want my blog to be me just copying the whole damn chapter... but me giving my thoughts....  Though I am dropping quotes because I don't want you to miss them

 “Brush his mane, zen you can go in. If he make any trouble in ze club, I squish him.”

Speaking of things I don't want you to miss HAHAHAHAHHA

Not being a fan of colts myself,

Nopony believes this.

a bit reminiscent of cucumbers covered in whipped cream.

I don't know if I would eat that

Before he could finish that sentence, I’d already picked up the drink, tilted my head back, and tossed the entire thing down

You know, reading this again, how much trust is Hardy showing right here.... and what will the side effects be? I mean he just met Swift, and she's not being completely honest with her background. He looked over at Svelte and his cutie-mark trembled, Miss Stella is making him take a truth potion before she is willing to meet him. And all he really knows about the truth potion is that the seeds of the plant is poisonous.  He's in a brothel. It's a lot of trust. And spoiler, it is VERY well placed, and very deserved. What they get from this will help so much down the line. But still, Hardy, Hardy is showing so much trust.

A sudden, unsettling thought occurred to me. “You mind if I ask what would have happened if I had actually tried to get in here with a warrant?”

He gave me a seductive wink. “You’d have gotten to take a longer tour and talk to me for a few more hours, then you’d have walked away with nothing. I wouldn’t have minded the company though.”

Yup, and honestly, this is kind of a fair response. I have head cannon that if Hardy had came back with a warrant eventually he would have explained why he was there in the first place and they might have given him a chance at the truth drink. Why, because he is trying to help him. 

I’d been dismissed. He dismissed me... and short of getting a PACT team and the world’s biggest pair of hoofcuffs I couldn’t think of a thing I could do about it. Damn.

Yes, Yes, Miss Stella is a male dragon. One of the few "peaceful" ones. And as you can see from his reaction, one who cares very deeply about those he's taken in his care. And also, yes, Granny Glow works in a whore house :D

Oh hey look, the chapter ended. Lets have a peek at the comments, 36

Well...I definitely learned a few things today. :facehoof: Transvestite dragons...please tell me there will be a chapter where someone sexually identifies as a helicopter.

 Again, I just want to point out the post, your going to have to go read it yourself

I take that back 

‘Hi, son, I’m back from work, and I just met a draconic transvestite in charge of a whorehouse!’

'That’s just swell, dad.’

Toss in Minox, a few of the uniformed Stilettos, and Slip Stitch's musical routines and you could easily end up with a dead ringer for The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

... Can we get art of this part of the comment please? Any of you artist? I want to commission this.

1142969 Tell you what. Come back in... a month and a half for hardcore noir stuff. Right now we're still in the lead-up to the main story. We made an early decision to start this story by pretty much writing the most stereotypical cop tale we could then taking it off the rails towards the end of the first act.

I think what we're getting up to then will suit you more.

“Well, if you have a shovel, I’m sure we might direct you to a nearby cemetery. Who am I to stop you beating off on a dead horse?”
