Page 790 — Shadow Fun

And that's Hurricane Fluttershy. For real this time! Next time… Over a Barrel, perhaps? Or maybe Pinkie Pride. Haven't quite decided yet at time of publishing.

We've got two, maybe two-and-a-half weeks of guest comics coming up. That'll start after I've concluded my 24th trip around the sun on Monday.

Transcript:

DM: Well, that's a wrap.
Rarity: You performed wonderfully, dear. I am so proud of you!
Fluttershy: Thank you. That means a lot…
DM: Hey, c'mere a sec. I wanna talk to you.
Rainbow Dash: Ugh, is it about the whistle? I'm sorry, okay?
DM: Good. But I'm more wondering why you decided to get so into character today.
Rainbow Dash: I dunno. I knew I was doin' a coach thing; thought it'd be funny.
DM: I get THAT. But you were also acting more, too. Just wondering why, all of a sudden, you're so invested.
(beat)
Rainbow Dash: I dunno, the newbie's into it, so…
DM: What, Fluttershy's player?
Rainbow Dash: Yeah. At the start, I was thinking, "Man, this campaign's gonna have none of the stuff I like. The newbs are gonna be so bored."
DM: I think you were more concerned about your own boredom at the time.
Rainbow Dash: Sure, but I was also thinking about them… kinda, and how this was gonna be the worst intro to D&D ever. But here's my point: Not only does she like it, she's getting into it! She's kicking butt! It's kinda awesome to watch. And, I dunno, raining on that parade would just be… I dunno. So… if she can get into it, then darn it, so can I.
DM: …You know, you're on your way to becoming a good DM.
Rainbow Dash: Oh. Thanks, actually.
DM: As soon as you stop running five-hour combat encounters.
Rainbow Dash: Hey! That was only… twice!
DM: See you next week, "Queen of All Deckers."
