Page 324 - The Lovable Rogue

Hey, it’s my birthday! I have officially turned 21 today! I won’t be drinking anything, though I suspect some of my friends will be.

It’s kind of hard to believe that I started this comic just as I was starting college. Then again, I started writing on a regular basis (fanfiction, but writing nonetheless) as I was starting high school. And I started Play-By-Post roleplaying around the time I started middle school…

Rainbow Dash: Wait, WAIT. How in the world did YOU of all players become a damsel in distress??
Rarity: At first, I… didn’t take them seriously. I think the DM desired to provide a challenge for my social skills. Alas, I wasn’t up to the task tonight.
Twilight Sparkle: I’m… sorry. I shouldn’t have let you go.
Rarity: Because I’m the Rogue? “Never let that damn thief out of sight”?
Twilight Sparkle: …No. We should’ve supported you somehow, Celestia or not. You’re our friend, Rarity the Rogue. We nearly lost you by pretending you weren’t.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, sure.
Applejack: Ah guess so…
Pinkie Pie: Duh!
Fluttershy: I agree.
Rarity: …! D-Don’t blame yourself, dear. It was I who insisted on going alone in the first place…
DM: <roll> The Diamond Dogs try to sneak off during your heartfelt moment, but fail to keep themselves hidden.
Rainbow Dash: Hey, get back here! If I gotta sit through this sappy stuff, so do you!
