outward the small ravine outside.
Its sounds though invite the pleasant thought of nature, its colours incite a different reality. Furthermore, stench is often disassociated with freshwater in which provides an alternative prsence. The presence of contaminated wastewater.
Pooling murky yellow sludges in rapid flow outward the pipes onward the rainwater drainage lanes. Diffusing the toxic substance within the darkening stream of mixed fluid.
A thought would wonder 'Why haven't the authorities enact a measure or some sort?' Well if the prevalent entity of manufacture isn't a notice enought to suggest of what, then your view is lost without cause.
Lemon Sweet Corp. is a business which maintains a large stake in the lemonade-making and derivative candies category of the market nationwide. It is where my services are requested; needed.
Canterlot City has repeatedly gone under our radar of potental expansion sites, seeing to its main primary provider, and only provider of sweets being the inseccent teenager by the name Pinkie Pie.
Many ventures were duped by the spontaneous and randomness of her appearences in areas which had previously hadn't received any supply of confectionaries. This, together with her credibility, makes her one if not, the most catastrophic potential threats to Lemon Sweets Co. dominance of the market nationwide.
I was given a proportional amount of funds to outright acquire a stall from a retired vendor along with his prior named brand 'Hot&Lemons' and with it, maintain a status of vigilance and written reports of the sightings and public insight into Miss Pinkie Pie personal and general life.
This operation had been going on for 8 months straight to which acquired greater know-hows then previously estimated with the discovery of her 'friends'. General info within the internal gossip network had given more ideas and news both good & bad.
I had devised a plan when digesting the news giventh which included our research team unveiling product and our subsidiaries within the technology sector. The plan was to integrate the confectionary with an embedded capsule which has an effect of causing its host to enhance their ability of tasting sweets. Observation tests had shown vendors selling confectionaries 60% to 75% less sugar content than previously.
The idea is hoping her ability to make confectionaries less appealing thus allowing breathing space for our team to begin distributing the produce made and earning revenue. The intent and focus is there, it would never likely fail.
It has been two weeks since and the vendor stall traffic never seemed to increase, it just seemed to have slowly dwindled and stopped. This had begun to worry the possible prospect that the capsule wasn't activated or the resiliency of Miss Pinkie Pie was higher than stated publish. I was interrupted from this thought process when a familiar blur of pink arrived on my empty stall front, along with the group she's a part of.
"Hello Miss, what would you like among the many options-" a slam enacted by Applejack, "-Listen here you, I don't want yer goods. What I want to know is what ye had don to Pinkie Pie!" I noticed along with her scowling expression which similarly donned on the other individuals in variance of intensity towards myself. "I haven't done anything which had caused harm towards my customers. That's against my policy"
The purple figure gently tapped her agitated friend's shoulder, then swiftly the latter sidestepped thus allowing the figure- "Your policy does not resolve the present issue. In fact the evidence we've uncovered had shed light on the credibility of our actions" She stated with confidence, a gnawing thought conjured a possible piece which is- "We found a capsule; which upon furthermore observation had a substance which in the past-", "Ugh Twilight, just say the it!" interjected her rainbow-coloured friend, Twilight stammered and straightened herself "We found a nerve amplifying agent!".
I blanked.
