The background girl in panel two matches the dialog:
"OMG, you're Twilight! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Honestly, I have almost no idea what's going on anymore.
I'm not sure if GM Sunset is just drawing logical conclusions or if she's doing this out of anger. Either is understandable (even if the last one is kind of petty).

I have a... sinking feeling that this is the GM trying to railroad the party. "Oh nooooo, your plan to win it in the fall formal won't work any mooooore! Guess you'll have to think of something else, it's a shame that there aren't any other LEGAL methods to obtain it, HINT HINT."
Oooor Sunset is genuinely trying to run with what was suggested to her and create a new series of challenges on the fly and this is her set up to make the group earn their victory in what is going to essentially be a social check gauntlet of boring. Or, what, is it rail roading every time the PCs have to overcome an obstacle or recover from a failure? Twilight legit failed that check, but boo on Sunset for working that in because "no auto-win = rail road"?
Does this bullying incident cause the girl to grow up into a tyrant, thus causing the PCs to travel back in time and bully her?
Final boss of Carrion Crown, after both sides whittled each other down some, our paladin grappled the bad guy in the middle of a silenced zone, and my alchemist shoved the remainder of my bombs down his throat.
Oh, and of course the whole "blew a hole in an undersea lab to flood it out so we had to flee the rapidly filling structure as well as the spawn of Shub-Niggurath that had just been summoned there" scene earlier in that adventure.
After having gotten back from a bathroom brake:
So you're leaving me alone,
with a murder victim,
wrapped in my blanket,
tied up with my rope,
on the side of the road,
in the dark?

"Where did Twilight stay?" "That's not really that important."
Well, that's worrying. I mean, it's far from the first sign, but just shooting down a player's question/potential world-building with the justification that it's "not important" can't be good. It makes you question what "is" important, not just now, but in the future...or if it's better to just stop asking entirely. Perhaps I'm overthinking this, though...

Guest Author's Note: "Sometimes, when you say the events that are happening in your RPG out loud, it really puts into perspective how goofy it all is. Doubly so if the game you are playing is utilizing a framework that brings to mind one image, and the game you are playing does not fit that image at all.
Of course, we only ever say it out loud when we've hit a point of 'Is this really happening?'
Any stories about those moments in your games?
(And as a comment about yesterday's comic and comments: I sincerely encourage discussion about this guest arc and the characters therein! Just make sure to keep it civil if someone disagrees with you.)"
