Page 1215 – Chip Damage

Something I didn’t notice in this scene until I went frame-by-frame: While Ocellus is talking, Yona takes a bite of chips, then buffs her hoof-nails on her chest to brush off the crumbs. It’s surprisingly adorable from a character I already thought was adorable as heck.

DM: Stop that music and put your phone away.

Gallus (RD): Yeah, yeah…

Sandbar (AJ): Do I learn anything else before I return to the group?

DM: As a reward for helping out, Cozy Glow got everyone in your class free tickets to a Sapphire Shores concert happening in Ponyville tonight.

Smolder (RT): She’s still in showbiz? Good for her.

Yona (FS): Yona like loud concerts. But probably not pony pop music.

Gallus (RD): So what we learned is she’s pulling out all the stops to BUY everyone’s loyalty. I bet Gallus feels right at home.

Smolder (RT): Truly a model student of the School of Friendship.

Sandbar (AJ): Hey, there might be something we can use there! She can’t be paying for all of that out of pocket. We might be able to get her on misuse of the school’s coffers!

Smolder (RT): …Hmm. Is that really the game? Take control of the school, gain access to its riches and treasures?

Gallus (RD): Look, we’re not taking her out with paperwork. Not when the students love her for what she’s done anyway.

Ocellus (TS): If we don’t convince them she’s bad, they might riot.

Yona (FS): Yona will riot right back.
