Page 780 - Dancing Queen

I was tired and sick at the time, but I’m actually pretty happy with how this page turned out.

So hey, we’re coming up on the end of this arc, looks like! Should I open up for guest comics and try for another IDW-based intermission? I could actually probably survive powering through another arc before taking another break, so it’s entirely optional.

Rarity: So, putting aside the question of why these are surprisingly articulate bees… They’re refusing to help based off convenience and, above all, principle.
DM: Correct. That’s their argument. Fluttershy, say something to convince them otherwise and roll a Diplomacy check.
Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy?
Fluttershy: Yes?
Rainbow Dash: Do your thing.
Fluttershy: …Alright. I dress up like a bee and pretend to be their queen.
Rainbow Dash: What? No! Why would you assume– No, no, the roleplaying thing! Do your roleplaying thing! Like that time with the dragon!
(beat)
Fluttershy: Oh!
DM: Uh-oh.
Fluttershy: Excuse me, little bees?! Yes, I’m asking you to carry a stranger’s burden, but guess what – we live in an interconnected world! A Breezie problem today will become a bee problem in the future, some way and somehow! Yes, we take on their deficit, and yes, it’s hard to help, but this is no time to be putting up walls and cutting ties! We’re all in this together, and you of ALL creatures should understand that!
DM: …You done? Phew. Alright, roll Diplomacy with a +10 bonus.
