Woah, lots of speech bubbles!

ROYAL CAPS LOCK, you say? I’ve got the ROYAL Boldfaced CAPS LOCK! Haha!

…Aaaaand that’s all I got for the Author’s Note. The comic has to kind of speak for itself today.

Princess Luna: CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE!
Twilight Sparkle: Woah. Uh… Volume control?
Rarity: I’ll tone it down. Just assume she’s speaking at that volume.
Fluttershy: Wow. That’s… wow.
Princess Luna: WE HAVE GRACED YOUR TINY VILLAGE WITH OUR PRESENCE, SO THAT YOU MIGHT BEHOLD THE REAL PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT! A CREATURE OF NIGHTMARES NO LONGER, BUT INSTEAD A PONY WHO DESIRES YOUR LOVE AND ADMIRATION! TOGETHER WE SHALL CHANGE THIS DREADFUL CELEBRATION…
Applejack: So… are the ponies listenin’ to this? Seems pretty straightforward to me.
DM: Alas, not really. Everypony seems paralyzed by fear, protocol, and complete bewilderment.
Princess Luna: …INTO A BRIGHT AND GLORIOUS FEAST!
DM: Her speech is punctuated by a crash of lightning. Then you hear someone in the crowd shout out:
Stranger: You hear that?! Nightmare Moon said she’s gonna feast on us all!
Pinkie Pie: …The heck? Who said that?!
Rainbow Dash: Wasn’t you?
Pinkie Pie: Wasn’t me!
DM: The costumed kids scream and start running away.
Pinkie Pie: <sigh> Alright, I’ll play along, lead the way, and keep them safe. Probably REALLY awkward for Luna though…
Princess Luna: …Yes. Ever so slightly.
