Spike gives me good news. It appears that the relationship between the Scourge and other Ponies are straining. This might be good or bad for different reasons.
I would probably prefer it if Twilight were to remain in the inner circle of the Scourge's friendship network, but her estrangement might make it easier to conduct tests on her without social fallout.
I cannot decide.
Perhaps I will leave this for later.

Oh, doesn't matter. They made up.

Holy Cow, where did all these scrolls come from?

It seems the one known as Pinkamina Pie has been inflicting her devious and misappropriated 'pranks' upon various members of Ponyville. It certainly seems to be consistent with what I know of her. She has dragged Rainbow Dash in as well, and they are now incessantly bothering the daily goings-about of the populace.
This isn't bad, per se. It gives the populace something to do. I, myself, enjoy a good prank, and I am always sneaking into my guards' rooms to short-sheet their beds, give them whipped cream hands and fill their sock drawers with eels.
They love it.
