The face of the players when Pipsqueak turns out to be either the or a collaborator of the 'dupe with a hood'.
He's collaborating with a rogue? My God, it's a cunning disguise. He's actually a completely different Dickens character. That's not Pip! That's Oliver Twist!
Railroading... or at least that's what the players may say...
Yeah, but in the GM's defense that thief is still out there causing the problem.
Yeah, but this is kinda iffy. Frankly, I don't think this kid is even related to that guy, I'm betting he's just a high-strung six-year-old squeaky toy being touched in an unusual way by a very big, darkly colored pony. And this is a comic based on a kid's show!
However, this does seem a little like a stretch for the DM.

I can still see it as a possibility. Maybe the GM just wants everyone to get back to focusing on the BBEG that she/he stayed up 2 hours putting together. :)
Yeah by now my group would be giving our DM nasty looks, but that might be the point. This could lead into the Discord arc with all the players getting sick of the DM trying to do only the story they want. Losing their wings and horns then getting forcibly separated will start the apathy spiral, then after Fluttershy gets DM fiated even after spectacular roleplay will be the final straw with Dash walking away from the table first. Taking the obvious trap so she can quit with the rest following soon except Twilight. "There! You finally got to do your stupid 'the world is doomed' story and you beat us. You win the whole game you freaking train conductor." Then Twilight has to reassemble them in real life and revive the game.
Story time!
Tell of a situation where something in your vicinity got damaged by you while playing even if it had nothing to do with the game.

In hind sight, I think I'm the only one not to get hurt while playing with them (then again, the people I tend to play with are my brother's friends, and they're built like twigs).
A group I played with was at someone's house. That someone had big, foamy dice of various shapes. One of our more chaotically bent players would constantly pick them up and throw them across the room at everyone...especially me. Several times, he actually hit like a lamp or something on a table instead, but fortunately never hard enough to break anything.
In one game we were playing (I don't remember the system), we encountered a genie and a magic lamp.
Well, that was all well and good - but then we got to this one room where we had to jump across a chasm. Now, at this point we still had the lamp - but not the genie.
Nevertheless, my character wasn't the best at acrobatics (I was playing a heavily-armored Paladin), so for the heck of it, I had my character rub the lamp for good luck before he took his leap of faith - and IRL I got caught up in the moment, grabbing a water bottle and rubbing it too.
The only problem?
-I'd forgot the water bottle was open...
Aaaaaaand... I kind of spilled water over the play mat and some of my RP books...
How was I supposed to know the genie was actually a water elemental in disguise? (;

I was processing the dog separately from the session, though, so not sure what was happening when. I think the monkey lost its head around the same time as the wicked polymorphing witch that turned us into turkeys, though.
Now counting Spud, this raises the "Number of People I know that currently have the flu" to 13. I'm starting to get very concerned about everyone I know.
So, one time when playing D&D the party was fighting a powerful cleric of Hextor. The evil cleric casted a lesser version of the Earthquake spell andthe GM was so enthusiastic with descriptions that he pounded the table to get the point across. Half the miniatures and set pieces fell over. We rolled with it, deciding that's what the spell actually did!
Couldn't explain why there was a pond of mountain dew though, so that's where I said "It must have been a magic surge!"
I was awarded 10 points for the pun. XD

Gotta wonder whether this is the ideal time to blow your cover when you are slandering someone who currently has you by the neck.
It is interesting how much Rarity's player is getting lost in the roleplay. Her Luna definitely has a "life of its own." I experience this when writing fanfic sometimes. You have a plan in mind and the character does something else.
So I guess Rarity and I have something in common...
I sometimes get that way with role-playing. Those are always my favorite characters, ones that just take off on their own.
I tend to make my characters so that I can say things like "Why yes, it's perfectly normal for the dwarven ranger to be yelling at a toilet, why do ask?"
Looking at the screenshot I just noticed Sweetie Belle in a vampire costume. I totally missed that in the episode.
And Frankenstein(or, bride of Frankenstein) Apple Bloom.
The only on of the three I noticed int he show was wolf/werewolf Scootaloo.

... Or, maybe not?
... Just don't use it for cover?
... No idea where I was going with that.
How was your weekend? As for me, this season's flu hit me like a truck. So the Fallout is Dragons episode's gonna be delayed a bit longer while I stay in bed and cough a lot, unfortunately.
