Rainbow Dash: I find an empty table with some drinks on it, then "accidentally" give it a kick and spill in their direction.
DM: Um... sure. Give me Athletics.
Rainbow Dash: <roll> 24!
DM: A cup sails through the air and splashes right at Blueblood's hooves. He stops and holds Rarity away from the water.
Rarity: Oh! Well, I guess you CAN be a gentlecolt.
Blueblood: You're welcome. Could you return the favor and use your cloak to cover our path?
Rarity: ...Beg your pardon?
Blueblood: Neither of us would want to slip. But only one of us is wearing a cloak.
Rarity: Shouldn't you have a pocket handkerchief or something?
Rainbow Dash: OR YOU COULD JUST WALK AROUND IT!! GEEZ!
Thank goodness there was one singular cup sprite for the Grand Galloping Gala so I could imply that these two scenes are correlated... even though in the original episode they happened in the opposite order...
Well, there isn't a Story Time for this page yet, and tripping nobles is relevant to a story a friend told me, so why not?
So my friend had made this Prince character for this campaign to play as, and a new player in his group wanted to look at his sheet for reference. As a joke, my friend decided to get into character a bit and partake in that classic government official pastime of bureaucracy.
The other player ended having to sign three separate documents to see the character sheet. And just to add salt to the wound, he had to physically mail them to him.
Needless to say, the other player was more than a little peeved.
Come the start of the campaign, and my friend's character is entering the party's camp to recruit them to help him on his quest...
And the other player trips him on his way in, which (thanks to a natural 1 saving throw) kills him.
The event was retconned away almost immediately since my friend's Prince character was kind of important to the story, but the message was clear: Karma does not like bureaucracy.
I'm not sure what system (didn't think to ask), but I think the idea was that he couldn't dodge the trip and the saving throw was to prevent him from falling flat on his face.
Walking through mud is a good way for your feet to pick up an infection from the kind of bacterial smorgasbord you find in thee average pool of liquifacted soil.
I'm pretty sure something one of the Mane Six did caused that spill. If I recall correctly, the stallion that Rainbow "saved" was carrying a cup, which he dropped when Rainbow launched him into the air.
I have... caught up to the story? Wow, didn't expect THAT. I went through the Archive in about 2 days, and I love it. And now I wanna know how it ends...
Also, Rainbow Dash says what we are all thinking. Plus, it's a fancy party, so someone should be along with a mop any minute now.
It will undoubtedly be a well dressed butler with a very fancy mop!
Also, I read through about the first third of Friendship is Dragons, stopped for a while, and thankfully checked back at the right time to watch the finale of the "Rarity's last con!" arc.
I also caught up on the in between "collecting tickets" arc, and did enjoy that too. ;p
The reason I never got that rule of etiquette. So a woman is supposed to wait for a guy to have a garment long enough to allow her to walk through a puddle without getting wet, rather than just walk around the water?
It's based off a single incident during the reign of Elizabeth I, never expected, required or repeated. Had the courtier not had a bright idea, she'd just have gone around and the meme would not exist.
And that's BEFORE he became Elusive!
Almost everyone else, "It's a two foot diameter puddle in a who-knows-how-big forest, just step around it".
Me, "...". *walks through mud*

*lands at least half a foot short*
Well, at least 3/4th of the puddle is behind me now!
This comic has made me look at the show with new eyes on more than one occasion. Good going, Spud.
I mean most sinking vessels are parts of sets of identical vessels.

UNREADABLE.
