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.

File Cloud

act one, chapter two

The idea for the File Cloud was simple enough. You enchant a container (in this case the ceiling of the former royal audience chamber) and a cloud so instead of water, it holds... well, anything. Paper, mostly. Everypony was going to have a File Cloud right in their own home where they could store a lifetime’s collected junk. The pencil pushers in City Hall declared it ‘The greatest innovation of our times since The Shield!’ and Detrot Police Department would be ‘First to be Graced with all the Efficiency and Security this soon to become Indispensible Modern Convenience could Offer.’
