Tea?
Trendy coats, bed rolls, saddle bags
Oh, a surprise vacation just for the two of us!
How thoughtful!
I hear Puerto Coballo is lovely this time of year.
Sand like powdered sugar
Princess Celestia is taking us on an overnight goodwill tour of Yakyakistan.
They just found out.
So, what you're saying is no tea?
Oh, well.
That's fine.
I wasn't thirsty anyway.
If you're looking for something to do,
you can spend the evening with Spike and Big Mac
You aren't kidding?
They're very nice.
They have a top secret thing they do whenever we leave Ponyville.
Although, everypony knows about it,
so it's not a very good secret.
I think you'd have fun with them!
Fun?
With sidekicks?
Oh, you must think we're in a dimension where everything is opposite.
Da-dee-la
I'm Opposite Discord, and I want to hang out with Spike and Big Mac
I'm sure I'd have fun!
Well, guess what, Sassafras?!
I'm Opposite Fluttershy, and I'm sick of being nice and quiet all the time!
Let me explain it to you as simply as I can.
Me? Amazing! Them?
oh, I've already forgotten what we were talking about.
You see?
All I'm saying is, it's an opportunity to expand your circle of friends.
Unless you're afraid they won't like you
Oh, please.
Don't stoop to tedious reverse psychology, you're better than that.
It never hurts to make new friends.
Consider it considered…
Couldn't I just come with you instead?
I suppose, this is goodbye then.
Have an absolutely fabulous voyage.
Discord!
Well, it's not my fault the new train route leads into an active volcano.
Guess you'll have to stay.
Oh, you're no fun.
I god my bedroll, parka, unattractive, but functional hiking boots
Anything I forgot, Pinkie Pie?
You're our resident Yakyakistan expert.
No!
I brought yeti food!
Did I forgot to mention there's a pony-eating yeti on Frostfield glacier?
We're gonna have so much fun!
If he messes with us, I'll turn that yeti into confetti.
Somepony's in an awful quick hurry to get us out of here.
Don't y'all have too much fun without us.
I bet you boys have big plans.
Right, Spike?
I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.
Although if I did, I certainly wouldn't be allowed to discuss it with you, girls.
Bye-bye!
Bye, ya'll!
what you say he comes and kinda
Fascinating article, yes.
Don't let them come over!
Please, don't let them come over!
Please, please, please!
Oh, salutations, my friend!
Wish I could stay and chat, but I don't want to!
Wait!
We were wondering
what are you up to tonight?
Here we go.
Do you wanna, I don't know, hang out?
Is that like something you do?
Oh! Twilight's friend and Applejack's monosyllabic brother.
If only I weren't super busy this evening.
I guess guys night will just be you and me.
A guys night?
You mean a rowdy evening of reckless revelry,
zoot suits, fedora hats, swing dancing?
Something like that.
You should totally come.
The three of us would be way better than two.
That does sound fun, actually
Too bad you're busy.
Well, I suppose I could squeeze you in
if I move a few very important ponies around
June, honey, be a dear, reschedule Luna and K.K.
That's what I call Princess Celestia, what a hoot!
In fact, clear the whole evening, tonight is guys night.
These fellas invited me to spice things up and bring a little class to the whole affair.
Tonight will be the best night of your lifes.
And not just because you get to bask in my greatness.
I do love basking in things.
See you tonight!
Twilight's castle.
he fun starts promptly at sundown.
Technically, the fun starts when I arrive,
but I'll make sure it's around sunset.
Adieu, fellas.
And
we have sundown.
Repeat, we have sundown.
I declare tonight's guys night ceremonies officially open!
Eee-e-eyup!
It's guy's night.
Yep!
Oh, yeah!
Yep!
Having fun now!
Yep!
Oh, yeah!
What the hay?
Announcing the much anticipated arrival
of the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony,
the Purveyor of Pandemonium, Lord of Lawlessness,
Earl of Turmoil, Bringer of Bedlam!
Discord!
So, shall we hop to it?
I made a list of the rowdiest establishments in Ponyville.
It's rather short.
Actually, we're staying here.
I hope you like awesome games!
Games! I love games!
I'm great at games!
Famous pony scharades?
Oh, that's an easy one.
Who am I?
Oh, come on!
I'm talking about a real game.
Oh, you mean like trapping best friend ponies in hedge mazes
and turning them against each other?
Those were the days
Not exactly.
Wait here.
Whatever it is, it can only get better by adding me to the mix.
Okay!
In a world where evil reigns supreme,
a small band of warriors stands tall against the darkness.
This is "Ogres and Oubliettes".
This looks like
the best game ever?
You're right!
Yes.
"Ogres and Oubliettes" is a fantasy role-playing adventure game.
Our goal defeat the evil Squid Wizard or
As we call him
The Squizard.
The Squizard has laid siege to the last free city in Spiketopia.
That's the name of the land.
He has kidnapped a beautiful unicorn princess named Shmarity.
Which is like a normal name in Spiketopia, so
You know Don't think about it too much.
Fear not.
Your romantic delusions are safe with me.
First things first.
You gotta create a character.
Name?
How about Discord?
The whole point in the game is you get to use your imagination and be someone you're not.
I'm Garbuncle. A famous magician.
Everyone treats me with the utmost respect.
Just like in real life?
Don't get jealous.
But I'm a level thirty enchanter with major skill points
assigned to intellect and perception.
Go on, I'm listening.
Big Mac's character is Sir McBiggin.
A level twenty seven black knight unicorn from castle Chadwick.
I'm listening.
When his king allied himself with the Squizard,
Sir McBiggin would not besmirch his honor.
Nope.
I'm listening.
And so it came to pass.
The magician and black knight vow to rid Spiketopia of the evil Squizard.
So your character's name?
I already have the best name in the universe,
why would I change it for something like "Captain Wuzz"?
Captain Wuzz it is!
What class are you, Captain Wuzz?
There's archers, mages, rogues
Can I suggest we take a break and
I don't know go out, have some fun?
Ponyville is not going to paint itself red.
You'll love it once we get started.
How about an archer?
Sounds just as miserable as the other options, so fine!
Sir McBiggin, are you prepared to enter the world of "Ogres and Oubliettes"?
Yep!
Discord, or should I say Captain Wuzz, are you
Oh, get on with it.
We find ourselves trapped in the dungeon of the evil Squizard.
The bars are locked tight.
The bars exist in our imagination.
Really?
You describe things and then we pretend it's real?
It is real.
In our imagination.
It's your turn first.
What you wanna do?
Curse myself for attending this infernal evening?
Oh, you mean in the game.
Well, you can do whatever you want.
Then, I roll this twenty-sided die to see if you are successful.
I stick my head through the bar and demand
for the immediate release of the Lord of Chaos.
That's a big risk.
You'll have to roll 17 or higher to succeed.
Uh, bad idea.
The guard gets mad.
This spell here.
I transform him into a parsnip.
You need eleven intelligent points to cast a transform into root vegetable spell.
I'm not intelligent?
I cast it anyway because this game is stupid.
The spell backfires.
So, your claws grow leaves and transform into parsnips.
Parsnips.
The guard laughs.
He calls his friends over and they laugh too.
Don't you laugh at me, Big Mac.
Does it really say that?
Let me see.
As you get angrier, everypony laughs harder.
I seal Sir McBiggin in a magic bubble until he stops laughing.
I told you, you can't do magic.
Nope! Nope! Nope!
Not intelligent enough. Please!
Cut it out, Discord!
All this game is insufferable!
Let me show you a real guys night.
This is the life.
Jazz.
Dancing.
The best table magic can buy.
This is what guys night is all about.
Am I right, fellas?
Yep.
I know you probably didn't do this on purpose,
but this table's the perfect size and shape!
I don't think so.
Let's have a drink.
Chocolate milkshakes?
No. We wanna go back to "Ogres and"
How about the different game?
Those are very bad cards.
Stop messing with us. We wanna
A dance contest?
Surprise! We won!
Discord!
Yes?
Look. We don't wanna do this things.
We wanna play our game.
If you don't wanna play with us, you can
I don't know Sit and watch.
Sit and watch.
Fine. We'll play your game.
Are you ready to enter the world of Ogres and Oubliettes?
Sir McBiggin?
Yep!
And I'm Garbuncle
That means
[Sweetness]!
Bring the game!
Check it out!
It's guys night!
Yep!
Oh yeah!
Yep!
In the game now!
Yep!
Oh yeah!
Discord!
Where are you?
This is great!
You made the game real!
I'm games fan.
Should we be worried he's using a scary voice?
Behold!
I am the Sqwizard!
You are welcome.
Attack!
Run!!!
You find yourself on a battlefield.
A barrage of arrows rains down on you.
If you roll a fifteen or higher, the shield protects you.
Fourteen or lower and well,
you get the idea.
Seventeen! Lucky you!
Discord!
Sir McBiggin, I'd cover the entrance if I were you.
This isn't funny!
Isn't this what every gamer wants?
To live the game
Like this?!
This kinda hurts, like real pain!
Oh, how kind of you to notice.
It's the little details that's really bring alternate dimentions to life,
wouldn't you say?
Discord, this is awful!
Of course it is!
Spiketopia would be mine, and Rarity shall be my bride!
I mean, Shmarity.
Why are you doing this?
You're the worst!
If I'm the worst, then why did you invite me?
Because we felt bad for you!
Because you… what?!
We're okay. We're okay.
No thanks to you, Discord!
You felt sorry for me?
Who wouldn't?
Fluttershy told us that she practically begged you to stay,
and then at the train station you were just standing there.
All alone!
This can't be.
I'm supposed to felt sorry for you because I'm me, and you're you.
We only invited you to be nice,
I mean you kind of a weirdo.
Yep.
I ruined your night and you don't even think I'm cool?
How embarassing.
I have a lot of
other friends I need to see tonight.
Good.
Yes. So-o many other friends.
Farewell, Garbuncle the Magician
and brave Sir McBiggin.
May providence smile upon thee
on your quest to rid Spiketopia of the dreaded Squizard.
And I say it that way the game doesn't sound half bad.
Oh, well.
It's better this way, right?
Yep.
Because now he can't bother us
'cause he is off somewhere by himself.
All alone.
With no friends.
Yep.
We find ourselves in the dungeon of the evil Squizard.
The bars are locked and
Ha, who am I kidding?
We should give him another chance.
Captain Wuzz, can you hear me?
Oh, you realized how amazing I am
and that I make you cooler just being around me?
N-no, no, no, actually that's not what I meant to say.
I-I'm
What?
I'm s
We can't hear you.
Nope.
I'm trying to say I'm sorry, alright?
I'm sorry for ruining your day
and I'm sorry that I thought I was better than you.
Now let's play before this evening gets any sappier, shall we?
Yeah, yeah, ok.
What if we forgot the board and the pieces for a minute?
I mean the whole game coming to life was completely terrifying,
but also kinda of best thing ever.
So
Big Mac and I were wondering,
what if you toned in down just a tinsy bit.
I watch your back, Capitan Wuzz!
Garbuncle, follow my lead!
Bulls eye!
Nice one!
It's guys' night
Eeyup!
Oh yeah!
Eeyup!
Having fun now!
Eeyup!
Oh yeah!
We should just close the door and let them finish
whatever it is.
No way!
Did you see Big Mac's sword?
I totally want in!
Yeah! I don't know what it is,
but it's look super-duper fun!
Guys nignt!
