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.

Summer Sun Celebration

act one chapter two

Act 2, Chapter 7: Executor of the Estate

****

My little ponies, my fine zebras, my griffin loves, buffalo friends, and those few dragons I’m sure are listening! This is Gypsy, coming to you as live as can possibly be! I am your communicating vessel to the stars!

We’ve got an update here, people!

Oooh, boy! This is a neat one. As it turns out this upcoming Summer Sun Celebration here soon, the Princesses will be performing some pretty spectacular cosmic maintenance. You see, my sweets, the Princesses must realign the sun and moon. I know, crazy, right?

It hasn’t been done since Princess Luna was locked away in the moon, but finally they’re taking the opportunity to straighten out the moon’s orbit properly. That requires two ponies, apparently, although I’m a bit vague on the details.

What it does mean is we’re going to get one of the most incredible and rare celestial events in Equestrian history; a full, day-long solar eclipse!

Now, this is a bit different from your standard eclipse, gentle-beings, so nobody panic. The Princesses will be working their magic, and this should spread darkness across the whole of Equestria for a good twelve hours, but then the sun will rise again! Keep your eyes to the sky on the first day of the Summer Sun Celebration! This is going to be spectacular!
