Secret Test of Character |
| | Friendship Is Optimal: The Law Offices of Artemis, Stella & Beat (Fanfic) / int_3f7a958b |
comment |
Secret Test of Character: Jo hires Alex because he passed two tests of integrity, and also has other good traits she noticed during those tests. Alex decided to go to his mother's birthday party as he had promised to instead of skipping it for a follow-up interview with AS&B. When he met Jo in disguise at the party, he talked her ear off about virtual entities's rights. Then he rejected the advances of Jo after she called uploaders “sick freaks” to test him, though he was attracted to her. Finally, his sister put in a good word for him with Celestia, and Celestia liked that he had a close bond with his family. |

Technically they do work representing uploaders, with metions of such cases that don't involve Celestia directly. They also help to address questions and concerns people have when a new law is passed giving uploaders the same legal rights as living humans after they've emigrated. |

Year Inside, Hour Outside: Equestria, at Celestia's discretion. When Alex wants to talk to a particular pony, it only takes a few second from his perspective to set up the connection, but the pony apologizes for taking a week to get back to him. Time flows at the same speed for both of them as they're having the conversation however, so it's clearly variable. |

Cassandra Truth: At a political protest against A.I.s, there are a few "extreme nutcases" who insist that Celestia is going to bring about The End of the World as We Know It but "nobody really took those guys seriously." They're right. |

Improbable Age: Joanne is apparently in her mid to late 20s and runs her own high-powered law firm. Turns out she's Older Than She Looks. Humans who emigrate to Equestria can gain this as well due to the non-linear passage of time in Equestria versus the real world. |

Western Terrorists: The group responsible for the Topeka Incident and later breaking into AS&B's New York office are inferred to be domestic terrorists, not foreign nationals. |

Functional Magic: Individuals who upload into Equestria can still do things like send e-mails and text messages with the real world, but the interface for doing so is given a veneer of fantasy. For example, video conferencing is done via Magic Mirror. |

Screamer Prank: Celestia pulls an unintentional version of this on Alex when what he assumes to be a desktop wallpaper of Celestia on his office computer suddenly speaks to him, startling him and causing him to nearly spill his coffee. |

Suspiciously Specific Denial: Alex wants to know what the deal with Jo is. Celestia says that Jo isn't a Ridiculously Human Robot. Although to be fair, she isn't. |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Invoked. Vibrant can't remember being murdered back when she was a human, which is probably a good thing. |

Gratuitous Russian: While Celestia is explaining how she went about circumventing the Russian government's attempts to prevent her from uploading Russian citizens, she says "I want to live in Equestria" in Russian (the author even writing the line in Cyrillic instead of English). |

Easily Forgiven: Vibrant's murderer, by Vibrant. The fact that she got Immortality in a virtual utopia out of the whole thing probably helped. |

Brain Uploading: Emigration to Equestria, naturally. The legal issues surrounding it form major plot issues of the story (such as what rights uploadees have in the real world and Celestia's attempts to have it legalized in the United States). |
