Ask a Royal Guard

[100 beasts kaidou 321]

Does it have to do with that Ponyville thing again? Your aunts were pretty clear on how the guard needs to stand on that matter.

Prince Blueblood:no , it has to do with the black market

Alright, than it'll depend on what exactly you need me to do.

Prince Blueblood: As You know my aunts Made The Black Market Illegal Because They think Its too evil. However I have been breaking that Law by going Undercover to a Black Market In the Underground , And the reason I wasn't at the wedding was because I was at the Black Market Trying to find out Who sent Those Threats to us, By the time I found out that It was the changelings My cousin Had already beat them. All what I am asking for you is to Help me Sneak Out of Canterlot when I need to go to the Black Market for Information and "Other Stuff"

You're awfully open about disregarding the law. But...why sneak out? You're not under any sort of house arrest that I'm aware of, you could just make up something about business you have to attend to and visit the black market on your own.

I assume you're referring to the incident when the royal pet Philomena was kidnapped in Ponyville? We try to maintain an air of professionalism at all times, but...well, have YOU ever been tickled by a Phoenix before? Philomena in particular has strong innate tickling powers.

 

Or so I'm told.

 

 

It can vary wildly depending on one's rank and length of service, as well as where one is assigned. The palace guards have the most stable schedules, where anywhere from 30 to 70 hours are typical. The bodyguards' schudules are far more erratic, as it depends on what the princesses are currently doing. In either case it's shift-based, not a standard 9 to 5 deal.

 

Things get far more brutal in the case of emergancy, in which case we're expected to be on duty as long as equinely possible for the duration of the emergency.

 

 

 

Yes, we get paid. New recruits can expect to start out at roughly 20,000 bits a year, but will rise to a more ...reasonable level fairly quickly. I myself live on 65,000 bits per year.

 

Officers and commanders and the like are paid quite well, but I'm not privy to how much exactly is in our superiors' paychecks. ...conniving corrupt bastards...

 

As an employee of the government, we also receive extensive benefits, insurance and et cetera, and being a member of the Princesses guard gives certain ...other benefits.

Conniving coorupt vastards isnt that society today

I have a question about princess luna what does she do in her spare time

[Jadefire 2,797]

*walks in* Hey guys. Sorry it's been a while, we had some other obligations to take care, and I got reassigned to a thing in the Everfree. But we're back now, so let's get this train wreck a rollin', shall we?

 

Where'd Silver Wave go?

 

*looks around* Huh. I dunno. Maybe he got reassigned?

 

I heard he had a foal recently. Maybe he's taking time off?

 

I guess. Maybe.

 

Maybe. Anyway, where were we?

Sorry, but I'm contractually unable to talk about that kind of information. However, since Aevum isn't, I'll give the floor to him. Aevum?

 

From what I gather, Princess Luna is pretty introverted, most of her interactions with her staff tend to be rather formal. However, apparently she's no stranger to feasts and other social occasions. Apart from that, a lot of her down time she tends to spend in her office or her private rooms.

Do you think that the guy in red armor could beat all branches of your government combined?
