No actually, you're the bastard daughter of the queen's cousin, a great shame to the entire royal bloodline and your ancestral homeland.
>>37242
You see her in the booth
She is holding a horsecock
There is a diamond dog in a window not too far away. He has a rifle in one paw.
>>37270
Nope, you panic
If only you had some sugar so you could avoid such stupid thoughts.

He falls out the window and breaks his neck
Looks like he was preoccupied with enjoying what he was looking at too much to see you coming.

I just saw a man fall out the window and probably injure himself severely, but I'm alright. If you want to help someone, go help that guy."

I quickly enter the phone and start hurriedly looking through my pockets for bits to call with, only to find that I have none.

"Erm, I don't suppose any of you would have some change you wouldn't mind letting me use to make a quick little phone call?"

"Well we need to find a way to get to those goons"
>>37503
It's like a kick between the legs with a golden boot. Lovely but painful. You feel very tipsy for a while.

"Oh. Well then. He isn't here, but some of his boys are over at the other side of the curtains."

You are the star of the show. Completely lost in the moment, the cheers, whistles and clapping become a blur of positive emotion. You haven't felt this good ever before in your life. This is your crowning moment. Your absolute peak.
You open your eyes and see over 200 bits worth of money on the stage, tossed from the audience.
A pair of stagehands ask you if you could perform on the other side too.
>>37536
Nope. That's hot as hell. At least as good as Picket.
>>37539
A stagehands taps you on the shoulder "We could use more dancers on the VIP side y'know"

>>37622
You get totally turned on. Like, major time.

Mesmerized by your tantalizing form, the spills the beans.

"Yeh I ain't one for all dis here pillow-talk, see? Now I hoid youse some of the best talent dis place has seen, see? Wanna gimme a sample?"

Helen whispers and gives her a full briefing on what much she knows:
Hammerhead's involved with some business moving brown sugar. We need to learn where it's coming from. May be some military involvement. Glitter here—Miss Flappin now, I guess—might know a few things about this, too. She appears to know Picket (one of our mare compatriots who stayed back in the bar), who's also suspected of distributing brown.

I've even put on some… 'private shows' for your boys out there in the past. That was fun~

You riddle one full of holes, and he falls over dead.
The other one gets a bullet in the shoulder.

You can't. Showing off is so much more fun.
You strike a sexy pose instead.

You decide the best course of action is to take it off him.
>>40297
There are speakers connected to bugs around the casino, as well as a set of master keys and an alarm button.
>>40300
You are suddenly electrocuted and blown across the room. Looks like the locks are boobytrapped.

He is very distracted

Your right hoof now resembles a toasted coconut. Putting much wight on it will hurt like fuck. It also looks ugly.
>>40330
But it no longer hurts at all. In fact it feels kinda tingly.

You blink for a moment, and look again.
Good news: Death is not here.
Bad news: there is a shard of metal lodged in your privates.
>>40351
Well at least Short Fix took the worst of it. You just lost half of one ear.
>>40356
Well now there is a dagger jammed in the lock.
Someone should go jiggle it a bit.

It no longer hurts.
The comforting words of your friends, and the morphine dulling your brain, help you relax enough to allow the medic to extract the shrapnel.

He doesn't look familiar but his body structure and taste in facial hair implies he is from Stalliongrad.

You fumble with the keys, poke yourself in the eye, fall over, bump the table and spill coffee over yourself, jump up and hit your head, slip on the spill, land in a dustbin full of old eggs, tip it over, get hit in the face with a pie by an unseen source and bump into the door again.
Then you unlock the door.

LAST TIME ON MANEHATTEN NOIRE
The party found the hideout of the guy buying all the brown sugar - the infamous Big Boss Bulba. They snuck into the Horn of Plenty casino and found a beaten up russian pony there, who said he was a contact between Bulba and some important foreign ponies.
Picket also revealed she had an old favor she can call in. Namely, an airstrike from an old flame in the air force.
THE PARTY MUST NOW DECIDE ON HOW TO BEST DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.
BULBA IS HIDING IN THE CASINO
THE SOVIETS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO FIX THE DEAL GONE BAD
THE CBI AGENT AND THE ROGUE SOLDIERS ARE STILL AT LARGE

You mostly shoot up the walls. They seem suppressed, but not really worth the effort.

You on the other hand pull out your gun like a seasoned veteran and unleash hell on the guards, killing one and forcing the two others back.
>>45649
Spurred by Rita's display of marksmanship, you load up a big whammy round and fire into the fleeing guards.
You miss your mark and instead hit a door lower down.
Looks like it was a gas pipe storage.
The staircase is now on fire.
The second floor is on fire.
The guards are too distracted by the fire to keep shooting, you can try to run up the stairs again.

This would be a sound plan had you not happened to have a slight mishap earlier. Instead of slinking in with feline agility and silence, you roll into the room, screaming and clutching your lady parts.

"HERRO GORREN PARACE, FIRE SAUCE SHRIMP TO GO? OKIDOKI MISSA BIG SHOT PONY, DAT'R BE FIDDY DORRA"
You take a very sneaky stance and creep forward.
This would be a sound plan had you not happened to have a slight mishap earlier. Instead of slinking in with feline agility and silence, you roll into the room, screaming and clutching your lady parts.

>>45760
Picket smacks you across the face
"NO. STOP TRYING TO SHOVE THINGS IN ME."
>>45763
You hide behind the griffon. She is loud but better than nothing.
>>45765
You can't really seem to handle it. There seems to be some blood on your claws.
>>45764
You snap off a few shots, but there is a bulletproof pane between you and Bulba.
Everyone in the room pulls guns.
There are at least twenty mobsters with guns here.
The jazz singer has an RPG on her.

>>45770
The entire stage explodes in a magnificent shower of gore and splinters.
Five gangsters die, and the jazz singer crawls out of the wreckage, badly bleeding. She takes aim but >>45776
Dead Eye snaps a quick shot between her eyes, causing her to stumble, drop the RPG and slide it over to you as she slumps over dead.
>>45779
You manage to contain enough of it to make a good shot, hitting one of the other mobsters. The others duck for cover.
>>45778
This takes you back.
Crawling through the field, the smell of blood, gunpowder and ash in the air. The screaming. The shooting. The whistle of bullets passing by.
It's like you're back in the army.
At the front.
You are at the front.
Your fellow soldier is wounded bad.
He needs your help.
BITE DOWN, SOLDIER. IGNORE THE PAIN AND FEAR.
THIS IS WAR. YOU ARE AT WAR.
>>45771
Picket delivers a sharp kick to your damaged mare parts
"I'VE HAD QUITE ENOUGH OF THAT. NOW STOP. EITHER USE THE PHONE FOR WHAT IT IS MEANT FOR, OR LET ME DO IT."

>>45785
You drop that cool one liner you never had a chance to during the war. It feels so damn satisfying. After all this time. And it was totally awesome too.
The RPG slams into the pane, which explodes in a massive shockwave of razor sharp fragments and hot metal.
Bulba muscles himself up from under the burning curtains and debris. He is badly cut up, and visibly furious.
He puts on a bandana and pulls out a machine gun
>>45788
Only to get promptly brained by Dead Eye.
Well done. Big Boss Bulba is ded.
>>45786
"First the sugar and now this. Short stuff, you really need to get your head back on straight. Gather yourself off that floor and get moving. I'm calling a ride for us."
>>45792
it no longer hurts. Actually, it feels quite nice now. Must be the drugs kicking in.
>>45794
You snap a shot off at one of the remaining guards, forcing the others to once again duck for cover.
THE ENTIRE BUILDING IS ON FIRE NOW
I SUGGEST YOU MAKE FOR THE ROOFTOP EXIT

You manage to make it out to the rooftop. There is a helicopter here.
The entire casino is on fire.
The fire brigade is down ten floors below trying to handle it.
"I called for a ride. He will be here shortly, or if we don't want to risk waiting, we can try taking that chopper or… jumping."

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THIS LANDING IS GOING TO GET ROU-
>>45860
SHIIIIIIII*BOOM*
The helicopter smashes into the road below and explodes.
Players, roll to see how badly you got mangled.
MEANWHILE, Picket takes a swan dive off the building and lands in the waiting aircraft below. It seems her old pal from the air force got here just in time. He lands nearby.
There is also an important looking earth pony in a furry hat looking at the fire. He has many bodyguards.

You'll live, but you won't be much of a looker. The burn scars, torn ear and messed up cheek will probably start a lot of conversations. Primarily behind your back.
>>45868
Welp. There goes your other eye. Blind Man Mcoy sounds a bit less badass, sadly.
>>45869
And die you did not. You got some cuts and bad bruises, but that's all. You've looked dead in the hollow eye socket and used them as a spittoon.
>>45870
Picket grabs you from the air and embraces you.
"I'd never let you fall"
YOU ARE NOW ALL ON THE STREET.
THERE IS THE IMPORTANT LOOKING PONY
DETECTIVE PUBLIC HAS ALSO ARRIVED ON SCENE

"Comrade Overseer Elorshrit, HGB. I'm fairly certain your lot has some papers taken from Bulba. I want them. hand them over, and there will be no trouble for anyone. I'll pay you back with some valuable information of my own."
>>45878
"It's ok now, Short Fix. It's ok. Shh. We're both alive."
>>45880
You put your gun your mouth.
You are not sure if this is the best possible plan.

>>45892
Om nom nom nom.
Elorshrit stares in disbelief
"…Why?"
His bodyguards pull guns.
Public turns around and walks away
"Nope nope nope nope nope"
>>45893
You pull out your gun and load an explosive round. You take aim, but as you pull the trigger, a jagged piece of shrapnel inside your leg stabs a nerve, causing you to twitch and misfire into your own jaw, which explodes.
Elorshrit is very deeply unhappy
Heinrich has taken massive damage
Public has resigned from this situation and is running away

>>45901
Maybe you should've listened to your mother and become a flight teacher…
>>45902
You shove your SMG down your throat, and with a defiant look of smug superiority, pull the trigger.
For a short moment, you remember the good times.
The happy times.
There is Hans. Having so much fun on the swing.
Little Greta. Oh how she loved her alprose snacks.
Diedre. Oh lovely Diedre. How you never told her how you felt.
Your body slumps over by the burning wreck of the helicopter.
>>45903
You don't need eyes to shoot a gun. All you need is a trained hoof and a sharp mind. You snap off a shot. You can hear the impact. In the eye, no doubt. That is a very distinct squish.
The other bodyguards open fire on you.
Roll to not die.
>>45904
You take cover by Picket and her pilot friend.
"Short Fix, this is Veinglory. He owed me one from the old days, and has this sweet plane he stole years ago."
"Howdy! Yeah Ol' Thunderbird here was some secret army project they were hiding in a supposedly abandoned hangar so I borrowed it. Still has bombs in it and errything"
>>45905
You drag the dead body along. You are not sure why.

"You don't want to hear what the russian has to say? Where would we even go?"
>>45915
"Sure thing lad- oh boy, that looks like a NASTY place for a wound."
>>45914
You keep snapping off blind shots.
A flank. A heart. A head. A miss. A miss. A miss. A-
You finally get hit yourself. You can only feel a sharp pain. Then nothing.
Elorshrit wipes most of the blood off his documents and reads what is still readable, then hands them to his assistant while another cleans off his knife.
"Well. That was much harder than it needed to be."
He drops a briefcase on the street and gets in his car
"I hope we never meet again. Piotr. To the airport. Chop chopski."

At the bottom there is some extra text

>>45931
"No morphine here, but I do have some… sugar."
And then everyone laughed.
And the credits roll.
THE END
Everyone in the theater stands up and claps. Even Celestia looks fairly amused in her private box.
The director walks on stage
"Thank you all for being here for the premiere of my movie. Now, if I could please ask the talent themselves to come on stage and take a big bow. This film will surely go down in history!"

THE ACTORS MADE A DECENT LIVING OFF IT UNTIL THEIR NEXT ROLE, BUT NEVER BECAME BIG NAMES FOR IT.

"The movie had a lot of silly, and, how to say… 'interesting' parts… and by the way, I'm not a sex-addicted junkie! hehe… So anyway, if I may ask your Highness, the movie contained some info about someone called 'Radiant' being an elite soldier of yours. I never got to ask the director, so was that true, or he just pulled it out of his ass?"

"Well at first my mother was agains of me playing a dyke addict, but my father didn't have a problem with it, and acting is acting, right? But really, I always loved history, would you mind if I took your time in the future sometime and maybe you could tell me about this 'Radiant'? If it's not an inconvinience for you, that is… Geez, look at me, trying to ask the Princess herself to tell me stories… I'm sorry."
