Twilight Sparkle: Well, we're at least agreed in-character that Mi Amore Cadenza is somehow, in some way, evil. The question is, what do we do next?
Rarity: Generally? This is the moment we switch from _passive_ intelligence gathering to _active_ intelligence gathering. Specifically? I think you need to go talk to your brother. Not necessarily to confront him, but to probe for information on whether "Cadance" has been acting "differently." Some kind of lead that we can follow up on tonight. We only have until tomorrow.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, sure, yeah, and try not to let on the fact that I think he's making a HUGE mistake with this wedding. I'm sure that'll go over GREAT.
Shining Armor: Hahaha!
Rainbow Dash: And what do the rest of us do? Keep sipping on our drinks?
Applejack: Would be nice if we had some way of getting closer to the Princess...
Fluttershy: I... actually might have an idea for that...
DM: So Twilight's going to head on over to see Shining Armor?
Twilight Sparkle: Yep. This won't be awkward at all.
It's worth remembering that Shining Armor's player basically brought this on himself. This was his idea.

"Hmm. Ok, The bolt fails, make a bluff check (untrained for the character) to keep the technition from noticing."
(pass the bluff check, with threat)
"Ok, you have to actually shut down to make the bluff, but in a few hours, you wake up in an easilly escapable warehouse on the target base, with all your droid weapons intact. I'll let you know when the rest of the players catch up with you, and if needed, you can break them out. Got it? Ok, the rest of you, you get arrested, they need a forklift to get your droid friend into the shuttle, and..."
...Maybe it is non-canon, and Shining Armor's player didn't bring this on himself.
...Maybe it is non-canon, but the canon events line up with the non-canon chapter at points.
...Maybe it is not non-canon, and things are as they are.
...Maybe we are but artificial intelligences, created by the machine called life.
...Maybe I should stop with all these hypotheticals, before I start hurting brains.
Ha, you always know some personal drama bout to go down when the comment section gets quiet. Gotta ramp up dat tension, but the big wham moment isn't even scheduled until the rehearsal. Still have some time to kill…
