Pinkie Pie: Everyone here? Great! So we are all at this cake shop, when a pony you haven't noticed before appears at the end of the bar.
Fluttershy: Would a cake shop have a bar?
Pinkie Pie: Counter?
Pinkie Pie: ...well don't everyone rush over to say hi at once.
Applejack: Uh...he just sittin' there?
Pinkie Pie: Yep. Oh, seeing that you all have turned your attention to him, he smacks the table and starts to walk toward you.
Rainbow Dash: I KNEW IT! ROLL INITIATIVE!
Pinkie Pie: I didn't...no...
Fluttershy: Oh my!
Twilight Sparkle: Where? When? Why? What did I miss?
Pinkie Pie: No no, Rainbow! He's just being friendly.
Rainbow Dash: By pounding the table?
Twilight Sparkle: I think she said "smacks", not pound.
Rainbow Dash: Sooo...no rolling for initiative?
Pinkie Pie: No.
Pinkie Pie's voice fading into Glue's: Hi, my name is Glue, and I've got a quest for you.
Rainbow Dash: Did you just rhyme?
Glue: No.
Twilight Sparkle: Uh, I think you did.
Pinkie Pie: ...maybe...
Glue: I never rhyme. I don't have the time.
Fluttershy: You just rhymed again.
Glue: Sorry, I'll stop. Just follow me to our first drop.
Twilight Sparkle: Is he...
Rainbow Dash: ...hearing himself?
Guest Authors' Note: "Some PCs love combat so much that they see a situation and immediately want to roll initiative. Sometimes the other PCs or the DM can talk them down from it, but sometimes the poor questgiver is caught in the excitement of battle. Thankfully, Rainbow Dash has awesome friends to help!"
Notice: Guest comic submissions are open! Guidelines here. Deadline: February 20th.
Nothing to do with the quest comic, which is going great so far, but for some reason it made me uncomfortable to see that pony over there chilling in such a "person" pose. Maybe it was just the fact that I spent too much time looking at it because I couldn't decipher what I was seeing at first.
Yeah... it was alright for a series. Nothing super spectacular or downright terrible. Kinda chill now that I look back at it. Had a better written Applejack if nothing else.
