Rarity: I own a farm.
DM: Not quite. The land is untilled. It's mostly just animal products. And it's not like you are expected to work.
Rarity: Well… I really should…
Flax Seed: Appreciate ya helpin' out, Miss Dove! For a unicorn, you sure are down-to-earth!
Rarity: Though if I can impart a few lessons about fashion while I'm here…
Flax Seed: Bees.
Rarity: I'm sorry?
Flax Seed: You ever think 'bout how little we know 'bout 'em? Anyway, time to harvest the honey from the hives. Gotta be careful.
Rarity: WHY ARE THERE BEES ON MY FARM. WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS. WHO DID SUCH A THING.
Flax Seed: It's good honey!
Rarity: WELL. At the very least, I hope all this work goes toward a good cause. Rarity will certainly need a bath. How does AJ do it?
DM: Actually, any excess materials go into a suite of natural beauty products that Wheat and Flax make themselves.
Rarity: That IS a good cause! Are they selling it? That would supplement income for all the workers. Unless the Guild is keeping them paid.
DM: Yeah. About that...
Assuming the scheduling or processing doesn't break, there should be two episodes of my brand new major tabletop podcast, Dusk City Outlaws! It's a campaign where I'm running multiple groups of unlawful players in one shared, open-ended continuity where they can potentially indirectly affect each other!

I used army ants in a game. With pathfinder swarm rules, my players had almost no way to fight them except jars of alchemical fire. Which would have been fine except they were inside an antique ship. Most of them ended up with several burns and they had to be careful not to fall through all the new holes in the floor.
"Yeah, about that..."
GM/DM lvl 1 enchantment (mind-effecting)
Causes the player to immediately question everything they think they know about the situation. Will save ends the fear, but not necessarily the paranoia. This spell can be Maximized be casting in conjunction with "Call for Perception Check"
Less impolite than Twilight's treatment of them during Trixie's debut episode (pretty sure Magic Duel is the second Trixie episode, so my currently-sick mind can't remember any name for the first)
And they hardly even protested that.
Probably quite used to being treated like livestock.
In all fairness except how it leaves her hooves and flank exposed it seems reasonably functional and similar to actual bee keeping outfits from what I know...not saying I know everything, just it looks more functional than that statement seems to call for.
More practical than the guys' outfit.
But then he's probably used to the stings; If you watch certain bee-related videos, the beekeepers have given up on any kind of gloves or anything even when nudging the bees away from what they're inspecting; They just kinda don't care about the stings anymore.
Don't suppose anyone knows where the Dainty Dove stuff started?
Like, what page of this webcomic.
I'm feeling like I need to re-read it to see the exact terms and such that were promised.
Dainty Dove's first mention was during the diamond dogs incident with Sapphire Shores. Rarity essentially bought it by selling her those outfits studded with jewels so she could smuggle the jewels or something.
Ok, re-reading that, I don't blame myself for not taking note of the 'landowner' part. It could easily have been a fictional piece of land. Or land strictly owned by the Guild for Guild matters, but where the on-paper ownership is still free to be given to whatever fake identities need some more legitimacy. Either way, not land that she could in any way try to use.
An actual plot of actual useful land, with no apparent Guild involvement at all, is a pretty big bonus I didn't expect her to get.
So lemme guess... She owns the place so she's the new paymaster?
It's a wonder she still works for the guild, because they certainly seem to love torturing her.
My mom has an old short comic series where a knight and dragon worked their way across the land conning folks. One of their capers included getting a deed to a ranch. A SPIDER ranch. Guess how well it was making money, and the ranch hands were demanding their backpay.
When together very dangerous.
Any bee or bee like stories out there.

That's how my group usually takes down infamous guilds.
... except the one group who paid their employees enough to hire their own security detail. Good times.
