I've got marshmallows, hotdogs, popcorn, mushrooms, skewers, eggplant and all other kinds of food for flame roasting.
One bit each

'Tis the season of the happy holidays (Christmas, Hearth's-Warming Eve, and of course, QISmaS DatIvjaj), so I'd like some chestnuts for the open fire, please).
Two buckets of popcorn please. Can't go wrong with the classics.
You'll have to pop them yourself, over the flames.
Condiments in the back if you want melted butter or salt.

I'm just a stadium concession owner.
Space dragon/lizard meat is a bit out of our range.
I do have fantasy salamander tails though.
Skewer one, roast till slightly charred, very good.
It's what I'll be using.

Fantasy Salamander tails that you can roast and aren't fireproof/made of fire? I think someone cheated you mate, those are just giant lizard tails painted with *sniff sniff* hot sauce?
It's the skin and scales that can't be cooked.
The meat can cooked. It just takes a little longer.
That one is my friends lunch.

One wiener going up.
As for the marshmallows...
'WHAM'
30 billion marshmallows, crashing into you.

...but then the groundskeeper discovered the real treasure was the friends he made along the way. Leaving him open for an attack from the left flank while the air support...
...was given the wrong information by someone in said freemasons, sending them north instead of south...
... had it not been for the spinach casserole forgotten in the oven, there would have been little to no realization that there was anything amiss with the piano aside from the unusual mahogany keys...
What makes this even funnier is that both Chrysalis and Cadance are played by the same guest player, so she's effectively switching back-and-forth throughout this scene.
I've done 'players playing their own double,' and I find the dialog for big scenes can even go better...'Cause you can prepare before the session what you and your double say if there is enough back and forth.
...So one time I prepared an entire speech where the double gets angrier and angrier over it and slips into a German accent 'cause the original was a disguised Nazi assassin. (The double was supposed to be opposite-except-also-evil and the original did not know Nazis were evil...but double realized it. So double got upset that she could not be eviler than a Nazi.)
And another case of doubles, my brother played them and we both designed an entire 'encounter', race, and discussion beforehand.

Me and another reader have a back and forth on Canon Chrysalis' plans on the previous page, but I can't help but wonder what this version's long term plans are? If she has them, I can totally see the player having her be egotistacle enough to have a fairly flawed plan on the basis of being way too confident it would work.
But what is her goal? Will changelings still feed on emotions in the comic setting? If so is this part of some "genius" plan to get a huge amount to power up? A body snatcher like plan to stealthily take power? (I like that idea, replace the least known alicorn and then use that power to do what changelings do but better plus whatever ways they could abuse the position of princess of love for their own ends)
I can't wait to see how the comic plays with this now that we are heading for the part where the villian reveals their scheme- if only because I can totally see the player going for that dramatic route.

This is something of a standard of my setting at this point, specially with the oft' mentioned Dave in the party, every dumb part of a plan, every needless risk, every intelligence-questioning cliche they use or say, gets sharpened and cast spear tip forwards towards the villain...
Another player specially loves mocking and ruining villain monologs... While Dave prefers to tell the VILLAIN what ITS plan was, like some freakish lovechild of Sherlock Holmes and Joseph Joestar...
That poor Drow Matron will never recover from the time he cut off her during her first sentence, told her everything she was going to say, then tell her why she is a idiot, right to her face.
Strongly worded and far too much alliteration for it to if been improvised... She took so much Charisma Damage from that sickest of burns she became catatonic.
I swear, it sometimes feel like my usual group are made of bards IRL sometimes.

Though now that I'm thinking about it, the heroic version of the pre-final-battle all-is-revealed monologue/tangent is a staple of the mystery and heist genres. Pulling that off in an improvisational medium is a lot more difficult.
