[It's about 10:30 in the morning when the scrolls pop on -- early enough to still be morning, but late enough that most people should already be awake.

Equestria is treated to a smiling, waving unicorn in a red suit. There seems to be some commotion behind him -- it looks like a stage has been set up, and you might be able to see some lights blinking.]

Good morning, Equestria~!

It's been a bit of a wait, but after a lot of hard work, and some very gracious help from some incredibly kind citizens, I can finally unveil the surprise I mentioned!

[He then moves to hold up a few cards to show the scroll.]

It's a trading card game called Duel Monsters. With all the unpleasantness that's been going on lately, I figured the whole town could use something to make them smile. It's not much, but where I come from, this game was able to make a lot of people happy. I hope it can do the same here.

If I had to sum it up briefly, I would say that it's a strategy game -- you use monster cards and spell cards to try to get your opponent's Life Points to zero. But watch out! There are also traps and effects that can make this more difficult than it sounds~!

If you're interested in learning to play, or if you just want to pass the time by watching others learn, I'll be hosting a live demonstration in 30 minutes. We're located just between town and Sweet Apple Acres. The stage is sort of hard to miss!

Of course, if you have somewhere else to be today, or know someone that couldn't make it but would have liked to, I'll have recordings of the entire event available after it's finished.

If you want to buy the cards, we'll have them available after the demonstration as well.

I hope to see you there~!
