This story is a sequel to The Prisoner of Zebra
When Flash Sentry (HERO OF EQUESTRIA) and Carrot Top (aka Special Agent Golden Harvest) are sent to the frigid peaks of Yakyakistan on a diplomatic mission, Sentry finds himself facing a fate worse than death!
He honestly should have expected as much.
Volume 9 of the Flash Sentry Papers.
What What?
A new Flash Sentry story.
Yus!
Ooh, self-burn. Those are rare.
I mean, on the one hand, a drunk Pinkie does sound terrifying. On the other, I imagine her special talent gives her truly legendary alcohol tolerance, to say nothing of being an honorary yak. Still, that could end very nastily...
Well, it will anyway, but now we get to find out about it through Flash. Eagerly looking forward to it.
There hasn't been a more fit task ever for our hero. Is this wasn't enough of a signal to get him to run for the other hills by now it shows he'll never learn
Oh yes. A new epic tale of a Coward who keep falling upward while his government and girlfriend keep sending him into mortal danger.
I missed this.
An offer for friendly drinking and schmoozing by day and "keeping warm" with a lovely companion by night all on Equestria government's shilling? I fear poor Flash is going to be so tense and on alert waiting for the other shoe to drop that he will never get a chance to enjoy it.

To be entirely fair, his entire experience, written or not, justified his current behavior
Oh goodie.
Ha! Self-defenestration. Just the word itself made me chuckle.
Bar tabs backed by the Royal Expense Account would be something to behold
It took me a little while to work out this works on more than one level.
I can see how this would be really attractive
Just got all caught up on this wonderful series. Looking forward to what comes next!
only thing that would have been better would be a footnote from someone about how sandbars poems either revolutionised the world, or are used as a torture technique by the pony vogons
Flash's got jokes.
That explains it.
Eh, I'd moreso say "not intentionally dangerous."
Oh Flash you fool.
Heh. Pinkie can tell Flash is hiding something, just not what.
I'm not sure if the diarchs retired in the Sentryverse, but if so, it's only a matter of time before she does.
Sandbar's attempts at verse will either go startlingly well or absolutely horrendous. Possibly both depending on the listener. I look forward to finding out. And to more in general. Yak diplomacy is a tricky art; hopefully Flash will let Pinkie take the lead.
Fantastic to see a new chapter for Flash, though a formatting issue tagged along
Always a fun read to see Flash getting thrown at trouble unseen in distant lands. Including Yona and Sandbar will surely make things interesting.
Pinkie pie is the perfect unpredictable to throw with in with Flash. She could do anything at any moment and it would make (pinkie) sense
I believe this is one of the first times a pony has cursed their own liver.
Well, this is a change of pace from previous adventures our "daring" hero has been thrust into.
Something tells me Carrot Top is going to change her mind about not killing anyone.
I'm sure Flash himself prefers it that way. Imagine if ponies actually celebrated the farcical facade that was his legacy. He'd die of embarrassment until he reincarnated.
If yaks call a part of their cuisine "argh," you know it's going to be bad.
... Oh. Oh dear. Yona and Sandbar this isn't. I can only imagine how Flash gets out of this particular predicament with both his dignity and Equestria's diplomatic standing in Yakyakistan intact.
What am I saying? Of course his dignity won't be intact.
Oh this should be good.
Yeah, that about tracks.
Flash, it's telling that you're drunk because you'd never be this optimistic sober.
Oh boy.
Starscreeeaam!
Quite.
Oh hey, a call back.
Agreed.
First time he's ever heard that.
That's most decidedly new.
That's DEFINITELY never been said before.
You'll what?
I could almost see it coming towards the end.
I life, or at least his pelvis is definitely in danger of being crushed.
Wow, Duke Flash Sentry. He certainly is moving up in the world.
Is Golden Harvest going to have to smack a Yak?
Oh no.
What's worse, is that Sandbar will now see him as an expert in yak-wooing specifically!
Hehehe
Came here after Carrot and Stick because I started rereading from Prisoner because was looking for the Papers due to needing to compare with another Caphius Cain-y story.
Woo! Glad I decided to look up you stories! Another tale in Carrot Top x Flash Sentry!
Yay! They hooked up! Or close to it!
Now to refresh my Absinthe.

Typo:
whine Which > whine. Which
anyway!I > anyway! I
Did not expect a Citizen Kane ref. Wow.
Typo:
Canterlot mountain > Canterlot Mountain
I was wondering why nothing happened in the Sandbar x Yona plotline. Hope Sandbar isn't gonna think getting smashed is how to be smashing.

Remind me to check Prisoner for typos too, I know I didn't report one because I didn't notice the edits occurring, so I thought nothing changed.
Typos:
rainbows would explore > rainbows would explode [?]
ill-advisedd > ill-advised
Don't sell yourself short; your prose is great.
...
Or was that George MacDonald Fresian impugning Flash's prose?
As can be seen from Flash's writing, the unspoken 'yet' at the end of that answer truly was needless to say.
Death by snu-snu.
Nearly two years and... still nothing. The story is dead?
