Page 548 — Horrors of the Arcade

I've only held a couple of high scores in my life, but I can confirm that someone else gunning for them can be a little bit nerve-wracking.

I didn't run a session this past Sunday, and just as well — my headset snapped in twain first thing Monday morning. At least we're almost at the beginning of a new month, but that lone headset had served me well for almost a whole year and was the foundation for about half the stuff I make. Gave me some things to think about this week at the very least.

Twilight Sparkle: <sigh> I guess we’re now taking suggestions for how to scare the masses.
Rainbow Dash: Hahaha, YES! As always, I’ve gotcha covered. Listen to this masterwork of an opening act:
(Luna animates the plush spiders, terrorizes the townsfolk, and scores all the points)
Applejack: Why do all the animated plushie spiders have to end up there?
Rainbow Dash: Because one: It’s a poignant parallel to the innocent playing from earlier…
Applejack: Huh. That’s actually…
Rainbow Dash: And two: What’s scarier than someone swooping in and stealing ALL the high scores?!
Applejack: Uh…
Princess Luna: Huzzah! Your Princess LIKES this plan!
