A vivid description of inferential distance from Twilight's Escort Service.
Edit: It's from a comedy that relies on misunderstandings; Twilight chooses the word "escort" to advertise her teleportation abilities. If you don't enjoy awkwardness-based comedies, I recommend you stay away. The actual quote is about explaining a value difference.
Explain, as I am not clicking on anything associating "Twilight Sparkle" and "Prostitution".
Haven't had time to read it; but from the story description, it seems to be a comic affair where Twilight decides to monetise her teleportation skillz, and picks the wrong word to advertise with. Hilarity presumably prevails?
Pretty much. I stopped reading at the point where her first "client" showed up, with supposed "hilarity" about to begin, as I can't stand comedy based on misunderstanding and embarrassment.
Yep.
