Imagining Celestia approaching with a video-game-esque WARNING siren intro put a smile on my face for a few minutes, which, y’know, is all you can ask for sometimes when you’re writing.

We’ve got some Spudventures this week! (Albeit a short one; it’s been a long and busy summer.)
The Forgotten Ones, Session 32 - Earthly Delights: Podcast | Video

DM: After a few moments of full awareness, you notice another blurry shape approaching you.
Pinkie Pie: Super-Cosmic Final Boss incoming! ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!
DM: …No. In fact, the figure coming closer turns out to be none other than Princess Celestia.
Rainbow Dash: Oh, yeah, she’s definitely the magical horse that knows Resurrection. Cool, that’s taken care of!
Twilight Sparkle: Uh, Celestia? Mind telling me what we’re doing here? Was Star Swirl’s final spell actually a plane-crossing teleport this whole time?
Princess Celestia: Haha, no no. This… is a special place. One day I may tell you its secrets. For now, suffice to say that you’re here because you did something nopony else has ever done.
Twilight Sparkle: I did? I just scribbled some poetry beneath the lines Star Swirl wrote. I feel like anypony could’ve done that.
Princess Celestia: Ever the self-deprecating perfectionist. I’m afraid you’re going to have to take credit this time, my faithful student. Though, amusingly, you’re right – you’re not the first pony to attempt this. But you’re the first to *understand.*
