Apparently you were on the princesses chambers. >Your suit made the guards think you were an ambassador, and after some convincing, you were brought to the princess. >She deemed fit, that you would live in "Ponyville" with her student and friends: Twilight sparkle. >That was one week ago. >Today, you meet with Celestia for a "Check-up" >"Anonymous! We must get ready for the princess's arrival! Here, put this on. That suit went out of fashion a week ago." "Rarity, you gave this suit a week ago." >"Precisely!" >Well, better not argue with Rarity. You don the new suit, even though it looks exactly like your old one. >"Lets go, Anonymous!" "Why? It's not like she's here already." >"The princess will be here in five minutes." she replies. >You sigh. "We'll be there, when she's there." >"Nonsense Anonymous! You mustn't keep royalty waiting." "Alright, alright. I'm going. Calm down." >"I suppose a lady must keep calm." >With that, you walk out the door. >Five minutes later, Sugercube corner.   >You and the mane 6 sit down, waiting the princess's arrival. "Well, its a shame she's not here, so I'll be going now." >"A shame who's not here?" a voice from behind asks. "Nothing." >"Princess!" the rest say, bowing. >You turn around and look Celestia in the eye. "Celestia." >Gasps are heard all around. >"You can't call her that! She's the princess!" Twilight exclaims. >"It's quite alright, Twilight" Celestia replies. >"No, it's not! Anonymo—" "If Celestia says it's fine, it's fine." you say cutting her off. "Shall we begin?" >"Certainly." >Celestia moves to a giant pillow and plops down on it. >The mane 6 sit while you stand. >"Anonymous, sit. Please." "No thanks. I prefer standing." >"Very well then. Now, how do you feel about Equestria?" "It's a peaceful nation. No one here understands what my true talents are." >"And what are your talents?" "Getting the job done" you reply.   >You are Celestia.   >Anonymous just told you that getting jobs done is his profession. >You hardly see how he could be a manager, but you decide to let him do his job. "If that's truly your talent, perhaps you could take care of my nephew Blueblood." >"Of course. I charge half at front, and half when the contract is complete." "Very well." >You magic him a bag of bits. >"What's the deadline?" "I'll be leaving for a diplomatic meeting tomorrow. I would like it done, by the time I return." >"...Very well. I will begin preparations now." >You are Anon. >You can't believe she would hire you. >You had no idea she was one of those monarchs that didn't want their children to take power. >Well, it seems that every world has it's own Constantine the Great. >You nod at Celestia and take your leave. >Arriving at Rarity's boutique, you hear hoof steps behind you. >You turn around to catch Rarity, pouncing at you. >Catching her, you almost crash through the door. "Yes, Rarity?" >"You simply cannot walk out on the princess." "She wanted me to do a job; I told her I would get ready" you reply. >"Yes but... Ugh! You are impossible somethings Anonymous... Could you let go of me?" >You let go of her and open the door. >Reaching around a counter, you grab your briefcase and take a peek inside. >Your Barrett M98B .338 rifle was still inside with a case of ammunition. >A 5 round mag, binoculars, and a box of 20 rounds sit inside. >You close the briefcase and walk out the door, Rarity in tow. >"Darling, what do you need that briefcase for?" "The job I was paid to do" you respond. >When you arrive at the train station, Rarity decides to say a few parting words. >"Could you give Blueblood my regards?" >You smile. "I don't think I can do that." >"Why is that?" "I'll be watching him a mile away." >"Aren't you supposed to take care of Blueblood?" "I'm supposed to do my job." >You step onto the train and go over your plans. >Today you would observe him. Tomorrow you would make the kill. >When the train approaches a large underpass carved in the mountain, you get up and walk to the back of the train. >This train is moving fairly slow, but jumping probably won't hurt to much. >You get on the ladder on the back and jump off. >You stumble slightly but regain your footing quick enough. >Looking around, you see a easy spot to start climbing. >You climb the mountainside, and get on top of the overpass. >Opening your briefcase, you take out your binoculars. >You look around for Blueblood. You remember him from your time in the castle, before you were departed to Ponyville. >Blonde hair, fancy suit, unicorn. That was all you needed to remember. >He should be easy to spot because Royalty always has guards following them. >About 10 minutes later, you find him exiting the castle. >You watch him for the next few hour, taking short breaks from the binoculars. >Eventually, the sun sets, and the moon rises. >You put the binoculars away in the briefcase and carry it to a gap in the wall. >You crawl into the small gap in the mountainside to shelter you from the elements, before drifting to sleep. >When you awake, the sun is just above the horizon. >You crawl out of the gap and stretch. >It wasn't the first time you slept on rock, but it still felt terrible the next morning. >You take your rifle out and set it up. After loading the magazine, you insert it into the rifle. >You look down the sights and see Celestia taking off in a chariot. >You adjust your scope to the distance taking notes. >A doughnut shop was at 650 meters. >The castle spires stand between 750 to 1200 meters. >The city gates were 500 meters away. >You adjusted your sights at 700m, leaving the wind-age alone. >You would adjust that, after Blueblood was in your sights. >Taking out a pen and paper, you note all important distances, along with the current setting of your scope. >The closest spire would approximately take 0.8 seconds for the bullet to impact. >The city gates would be about half a second. >Hopefully he wouldn't stay at the furthest spire all day. >A 1.2 second bullet time could be offset easily at this altitude. >The open air and temperature would affect the round. >Using an old trick you remember, you take off your suit and put the ammunition underneath it. >It was about 10am. The sun would heat your bullets at around 1pm. >At 2pm they would be hotter and burn faster, delivering a faster, and more stable round. >You wait another hour before your stomach growls. >Looking inside your briefcase, you find a power bar. You always carried one whenever you did a mission. >You eat it and check the clock; almost noon. >You begin scouting for Blueblood. The next hour and a half were spent watching him. >At 1:45pm, he leaves the doughnut shop. >This opportunity is perfect. The crowds will cover your trace. >You reload your magazine and chamber a round. >Aiming down the sights, you see a flag. It hangs limp without a breeze to move it. >There was no need for changing wind-age, or distance. >You line up the shot, taking a deep breath before exhaling. >BANG. >The round flies out of the barrel, shredding through the air. A circular cone follows quickly behind. >Within the second, Blueblood's head explodes all over the streets, body falling limp. >You take down your rifle, storing it back inside the briefcase.   >You are Anonymous. >Today was another day in the life of an assassin.
