Thus ends a glorious week of using images to cop out of writing words.

Speaking of not doing work, I'd like to announce that I'm opening submissions for guest comics once again. There's gonna be another small break at the end of this arc, because I kinda need a real one at this point, but that's not for another month, so there's plenty of warning this time. I don't have a set length for the break this time either, so I'll just work with whatever I get, no pressure.

No Fallout is Dragons this week, but I got a new headset, so we should be having a new session this weekend!

Twilight Sparkle: We’re going to get the adults on board before we do this, right? Make it clear to them that it’s an act?
Pinkie Pie: Duh! We’ll need their help selling it to the kids!
Rainbow Dash: Yeah! And that gives me a perfect idea for the grand finale.
(Kids are led into the forest to tribute their candy and get scared by Nightmare Moon)
Princess Luna: …Do you seriously want me to channel that ancient inner rage once more for the sake of…
Rainbow Dash: Uh, no no no. Just… put on some fake fangs or something.
Princess Luna: <sigh> I’ll make do with illusions and the Voice.
Applejack: Well, that’s a fairly solid plan of attack. Kinda lengthy, though. Any chance we could just… say we did all that and move on?
DM: Uh… no. No way. We’re still gonna roll and roleplay it out. Starting with the Arcana check for the spiders.
Applejack: Darn.
Twilight Sparkle: Alright, everypony. Places!
