Page 573 – Chrono Chrys, Part 8

We’re just about done. Now that I’ve done this once, I’d be willing to try this a couple more times down the line as mini-arc palette cleansers, if people would be down for that.

So here’s a prompt that I’d be surprised if it hasn’t been brought up before: It gets kind of a bad rap because it undermines all the work we put into giving our characters cool abilities, but have you ever had a “power of friendship”[-]like effect happen in one of your games?

Twilight Sparkle: You know, I expected to be going mad with power right about now. But I’m strangely calm. Even though a simple Arcana check would probably be devastating.

Queen Chrysalis: HISSSSSS!<br/>
Twilight Sparkle: You want to stop me? I hope you took my friends into account, Chrysalis. Because whatever I become in the future, I know it’s nothing without them.<br/>
Rarity: Where would you be without my charm?<br/>
Applejack: Or a friend’s honesty.<br/>
Rainbow Dash: Or my sheer awesomeness!<br/>
Pinkie Pie: My jokes!<br/>
Fluttershy: Awwww…!<br/>
Apple Bloom: Or my smarts!<br/>
Scootaloo: My… er, simply being here?<br/>
Sweetie Belle: Maybe we should stay out of this.<br/>
Queen Chrysalis: You can’t… be allowed… this reckless power…<br/>
Twilight Sparkle: Maybe so, but I have faith in me and my friends. We’ll go on to face our future, but for you… It’s game over!<br/>
SFX: (CRACK!)<br/>
Rainbow Dash: But I wanted the KO!<br/>
Applejack: Fancy.<br/>
Fluttershy: Sorry, Queen! We’ll try diplomacy next time!<br/>
Applejack: What’re you setting up here, DM…?<br/>
Fluttershy: Is she okay?<br/>
Rainbow Dash: Can I, uh, slap her?<br/>
SFX: (SLAP!)<br/>
Twilight Sparkle: Wha- Hey! I’m blasting YOU next, Rainbow!<br/>
Rainbow Dash: Still worth it.
