Slavery, free labor, forced volunteer force, it’s all the same thing man

@Backgroundpony  
Uh, technically, that’s what we call “slavery”…

@Backgroundpony  
Technically yes

@Prometheus labs CEO  

 
labor against will, so it is work.

@marconde  
She doesn’t “work” so much as “labor against her will”

@Background Pony #3821 
Not even if I had Luna between us.

Oh right, I forgot Trixie worked in that rock farm

Limestone, though XD

Haha.

@Zharkaer  
Let me put it to you this way…would you say no to Limestone?

Even if it’s a bit mean to Trixie, I found it funny nonetheless.

I got a good laugh.

@Zharkaer  
The joke’s not funny to you. I chuckled.

@Zharkaer  
Well, not with that attitude it isn’t. You could pick apart every comic or joke and learn that humor doesn’t exist if that’s what you wanted to do.

@Background Pony #7742  
We have a little context from the show, in that she worked on the rock farm once, but there’s absolutely nothing that implies that she ran away or stole the money.  
What I’m saying is: the joke’s not funny.

@Zharkaer  
“Jokes” like these work off of implication and interpretation. It implies that there is a reason, and it may be up to the reader to interpret as to what that is. Without knowledge of the source or artist, assuming that she doesn’t have an obligation to work on the rock farm is not necessarily the correct one as we have no context from either the show and within this comic the circumstances of what occurred there that could or could not lead to this situation. As such, the joke works, not because of “comedy”, but because there is an implied situation that we do not fully know of leading to an unexpected result and we are free to interpret what that situation is.

Meh… I have Maud is Starlight’s best friend, and Trixie as Starlight’s marefriend

@Zharkaer  
It isn’t literally impossible. There could conceivably be a contract involved.

@Zharkaer  
Unless she stole the money to buy the Alicorn Amulett from the Pie family.
 
Could make a nice episode.

@Ereiam  
I know, but there’s no reason she has to go back other than for the sake of “comedy.”

@Zharkaer  
She used to work there before “Magic Duel” though.

This is not selling; it’s snitching on a fugitive.

Friends don’t steal other friends friends.

Trixie doesn’t have an obligation to work on the farm. This doesn’t make any sense.

I’m pretty sure Starlight wouldn’t sell her friends into slavery, at least not nowadays. I hope.
