- >If she's gone, your vacation days are gone
- "Oh, thank you thank you! I wont disappoint you!"
- >She seems really eager to not get into trouble
- >You suppose you should get some more information on her just in case she runs off

- >She doesn't even blink
- Edge Lord. He's the head of the assassins league
- >The whut
- Assassins league? Isn't that a lifetime commitment?
- >She fidgets a little
- "Well, when you shot me, my cyanide pill fell out of my mouth before I could swallow it"
- So?
- "Well technically it counts as you saving my life, and I'm in your debt"
- "While I was lying on the floor I decided to leave the league. They wouldn't let me, a failure back in anyway"
- >Dawww, she looks so cute
- >You hardly listen to her
- >She just looks adorable going over her life story
- >You were spacing out and almost didn't see the door to the laundry room closed
- Here we are. The room where all the magic happens
- >You joke, and walk in
- >You start your lecture
- First sort the laundry by type. Silkin one pile, hoof-made in another,...
- >As you explain the sorting process, she's listening intently
- Ok, now show me exactly what I just told you
- >She nods her head and jumps straight to work
- >You pull out your camping chair and take a seat
- >Sorting clothes only takes about an hour
- "All done!"
- >She exclaims, with eight piles of sorted sheets, clothes, and... lingerie...
- >Well, the pony equivalent at least
- >Looks like somepony had an adventurous night
- Ok. each pile goes in its own machine
- >You explain to her the settings for each type to be washed
- >She does exactly as you tell her
- >She even looks like she's enjoying it
- You look like you're having fun
- "OH this is so much better than running errands and doing paperwork"
- >Hmm
- >Maybe she'll stick to this job after all
- >Hooray for vacation days!
- >When she's finished putting in what will fit for each pile, she turns to you
- "What next?"
- >You smile
- Now, we wait
- >You offer her today's paper
- >She takes it with a smile and reads it intently
- >Reminds you of that one purple horse you've seen in the library
- >Damn these adorably ponies
- >Always being so cute
- >About an hour later, the machines finish
- Now we gather all the stuff and take it outside to air dry
- >You tell her as you grab the cart
- >As she's halping you fill it up, she asks
- "Won't ponies try to steal them?"
- >You can't help but laugh
- Ha! I look forward to them trying!
- >You shout, waving your paintball gun in the air
- >She giggles at the sight
- >Almost as if she hadn't done so for a long time
- Glad you left your old job, eh?
- >She nods, picks up the paper, and follows you outside
- >You hang up all the laundry to dry and set up your camping chair
- >You make sure the gun is locked and loaded
- >Triple check for spare ammunition
- >Aaand all clear
- >Right on cue, the first wannabe thief of the day comes flying in fast
- Let the games begin!
- >You shout at the sky
- >The pony in question takes a turn and heads right towards you
- *Splat*
- >Headshot
- >You glance over at Silver Lining to see her reaction
- >Her eyes are open wide
- Heh, shocked at my skills?
- "No, that's Swift blade! He's from the league!!"
- >Oh
- >Dun dun duuuuuuun!
- >The plot thickens
- Well then
- >You watch as the pony drops out of the sky
- "And that's Quicksilver!"
- >She exclaims as another pony comes flying towards you, way faster than Swift blade
- >You take the shot, and score a hit
- >But despite being paralyzed, the pony keeps sailing through the air
- >As the pegasus gets closer to the ground, you realize that the still flying pony is just that
- >An earth pony
- >With a dagger in its mouth
- >You watch in fascination as the earth pony collides head to head (head to dagger) with the pegasus
- >The momentum of the pony was still going strong, and just whizzed over your head
- >As he passed, you say that Swift blade had been carrying a dagger in his hoof
- >It was now lodged in the neck of Quicksilver
- >The pair passes over you and slams into an upper wall of the castle
- >Guards swarm to the spot
- >Another glance at Silver Lining confirms that she's stunned
- >And by the sound of it, so are the guards
- >You take the opportunity to brag
- WOO! Double kill!
- >You stand and shout, waving your gun in celebration
- >Half the guards turn and look at you, dumbfounded
- Your welcome!
- >You shout back at them
- >You turn back to Silver
- That's how it's done
