Chapter 6 Published August 31st 2012 was on a Friday and was in week 35 of 2012.
As of this writing it was 3,135 days ago
Did you know, April 5 2014 Season 4, Epi 21 aired "Testing Testing 1, 2, 3"
but some of the stories my father told me of melees with apple pies and warzones reduced to declarations of temporary cease fire so everypony could satisfy a magically induced craving for spinach were part of what inspired me to eventually take up public service.
HAHAHA
Follow the rules and we’ll protect you. It was the ideal police officers had tried and failed for years to cultivate.
It's the ideals that all officers should always try to cultivate.
We passed a sign which said ‘No customers beyond this point,’ which my partner informed us was the creche with full foalsitting services and a living space for the employees who hadn’t got a place of their own.
Bless Chessie. This is AWESOME. There are some places that do this, not enough. This is one of the few places in the story that the more I learn about it, the more I love it.
“My grandmare isn’t like that.”
This sums up the entire exchange with Glow, Seriously, go give it a read. My tummy is hurting quiet a bit right now and its making kind of hard for me to think of commentary to write so I'll just throw the video channel here towards the bottom and you can give it a listen.
Taxi tentatively lifted her leg. I remained where I was. “Haven’t we passed enough tests today? I drank the truth bloom. Isn’t that enough?”
The security office door swung open again. “Ye can swear or ye can get out, boy! Ah ain’t that lizard and ah don’t trust in potions. Yer word is all ye got that’s worth somethin’ to me.”
I smiled broadly and raised my hoof. If there’s something in this mad world I can appreciate, it’s the solidity of giving your word. In a land of magic, there are still some things more powerful than incantations and flashy horn work.
I love it. This is a unicorn. She literally has magic. And she wants to hold you to your word. :D YES
Is that? YUP. Look at the labels, do you spot anything there?
P.S. Scarlet is going to pinch your rear end when you’re done reading this, Mister Detective. He has my permission, so don’t kick him or I’ll eat you.
“Just because the serpent gives you permission to do something doesn’t make it smart.”
:D
“So what happens to all those businesses if say, Miss Stella were to die? From a legal standpoint I mean?” I wasn’t certain where Taxi was going with this but decided to let her play it out.
While Hardy cant see where this is going, but I can.
I've left a lot of what is going on out of my blog, but if you look up the a label Pro Bono you'll realize that HIGH government officials frequent this establishment. Also Royalty. What is also not mentioned is that the Vivarium KNOW they have a mole, they don't know who it is, but there is an untrusted employee who has access to pictures of official leaders (not just ponies) doing things, while not illegal, that are frown upon and can be used for blackmail. If those pictures got out, it would really hurt the establishment. And quite possibly murder Miss Stella legally.
Me and my poor memory. I am not sure how much I have shared, but the Vivarium, its Stilettos, and Stella himself, do everything it can to keep what they consider to be their community happy, healthy, and in the green. They keep out the mob, not by killing, but by embarrassing or other thing they aren't quite willing to explain right now and I cant remember if they ever do, very least, Stella has a strict rule. NO BODIES.
Now, take this community and remove two of the things (which would prob remove the third) and what do you think is going to happen to that community. Especially since it looks like the mob Jewelers are the ones coming in for the kill. Maybe I should go back to do a reread and grab all their info and put it in the who's who, but, simple terms, its a mob, and from what you've read so far, its not a group you want to take over you.
So all that being said. Can you see where she is going with this? I'm not going to quote anymore of this bit, I want you to read it yourself, at least this chapter, is about half way down? just ctrl f the quote "Miss Stella were to die"
Taxi had slipped into that meditative, unreadable place she always went to when waiting for me to do something crazy, stupid, or brilliant.
How often does that last one happen?
Swift followed her grandmare’s eyes down to the miniature police issue firearm strapped above her knee. It was a depressing looking thing. The barrel might have made a good toothpick if somepony were so inclined and would probably have been about as dangerous.
Sorry, had to post that because there is a lot of jokes about Swifts gun and I just wanted to post an absurd one. Yes, there is smaller working guns. But unless I wanted to put a YouTube video of one firing... I thought I'd go for a visual gag.
“That ain’t a gun! That’s a party popper!” After Glow tore the straps off of my partner’s leg with a flash of pea-green energy and wrenched the tiny weapon into the air. Swift didn’t try to stop her. It hung there in front of us like an accusation. The ammunition cartridge popped out and Glow peered at the bullets, adjusting her spectacles on her heavily lined face; They were an unimpressive sight and might have deterred a small rabbit if one were to shoot him in the scrotum.
Okay, reading that, no... no, you need a mouse gun, which to make you realize that YES, they are real and they can shoot, meant going to YouTube and looking up "smallest gun that works"
The hold on my nose became a little tighter and I couldn’t hold back a pained groan; having my teeth ground together by invisible hooves was a new and altogether disagreeable sensation.
Really, Jade never?
The door banged shut and I realized, unhappily, that my partner and Taxi were gone and I had no idea how to get back to the bar.
Oh hey look, the chapter ended. Lets have a peek at the comments, 38
But as I finished, a shiver shot up my spine. It felt like somepony, somewhere, knew I’d taken that vow. The oath I’d made when joining the police force felt insubstantial by comparison.
...She Knows...She Always Knows...
Chapter 6: "Happiness is a Warm Gun" -I do believe that is a Beatles song, correct?
Blood would run in the streets.
Death would stalk the shadows.I’d have to do a lot of paperwork.
Not the paperwork!
Maybe I should give Sig a who's who
A thousand-bit expense account for lubricant.
Don’t want to know, don’t want to know, don’t want to know...
Do not give me that!
Of course you want to know! 
So inflation huh? cause that is about 2k today.
Taxi has no cutie-marks, Hardy has some major emotional issues over the death of his past partner, and Swift is borderline delusional to begin with.
All of that stuff has to be explained.
Those are just the good guys we've introduced so far. We haven't laid out anything related to our villains but I will say they are real horror-show. I'm not going to make my character's lives suck for the sake of making them suck. I feel no need to make this a pity party. Equally, Detrot is an awfully unpleasant place.
The story is just beginning. If you need a rating for 'dark' then no, it's not going to be Fallout Equestria : Project Horizons. Anything less than that and I make no promises.
I can say one of our initial, long since scrapped ideas involved a murderer/terrorist who worked with our initial iteration of the Cyclone Crew (originally called the Rainbow Crew). He was, at one point, to have trapped Hardy or one of the other characters in a bath-tub with a small cloud above it and the character's head an inch above water. A sort of vicious water-boarding by pegasus magic scene. Nasty.
Redbush Oooh, I hope so! If nothing else, I might commission someone for a picture of Taxi and Swift.
-Chessie
yay!
If this story doesn't inspire some artists i don't know what will.
"room six is Tossed Salad. He’s the best multi-tasker I’ve ever met if ya don’t mind males."
Damn, that must have been one disturbing cutie mark to get 
Ah, Flutterbrave, you and me both...
For heaven's sake don't start going to 30K chapters, CEO&C, or you'll kill us...
Nope, from my quick once over, her largest chapter was 11.9k
WHY IS THIS SO AWESOME.
Seriously, there's not a lot of fics I'd happily sit and read ~10K words at a go, but I seem to end up doing that every time you update. For what it's worth, this is the best fic I've read, and I can't wait to see more.
Hey flutterbrave... she averaged right around 10k a chapter... and look... over a million words. Damn.
