Melancholy


Sequels1

When there's a problem with the royal sisters, somepony usually has to explain it to The Captain of the guard, Shining Armour.
How in Equestria do they decide which pony gets to take on this unenviable duty?
It's an ancient art, passed down from the senior ranks, taking years to master. Something no normal pony could ever hope to match and only the extraordinary ponies of the royal guard could possibly hope to pull off with rigour and discipline.

Why they play Rock Paper Scissors of course.

Inspired by a moment from my other story, Collars and Cuffs Tailoring.
Follow on story Pung!

haha that was funny. rock paper scissors is serious business.

This is the first trollfic that I've ever read besides my own that doesn't totally suck. Congrats, and thumbs upped.

Rock, Paper, Scissors is a lot harder when you've only got hooves! Shining Armor's move was awfully predictable, though.

The Most Revered Art of Passing the Buck.
An ancient and most noble tradition somewhat related to Ancient Chineighs Proverb, "Shit rolls downhill."

... Please, for the love of all that is Equestrian, someone illustrate a technical manual detailing all possible moves in Guard's Rock, Paper, Scissors (with the obvious exception of legendary moves like the one hoofed scissors).
This was glorious - and the illustrated manual would be even more so.

Wow. Just wow. This was very very good. I agree with 526174 somepony please make a manual showing how you make paper and scissors with hooves.

Rock paper scissors? Shit just got real.

This needs to be illustrated.

I demand more of this great tale!

What other masterful Arts do the Guards learn?!?:rainbowhuh:

So the question has been answered... Damn those ponies be flexible.

So awesome haha...this deserves 1500 :yay:'s

I may be convinced to start a new fic involving guards pony shenanigans.....

527166 What did I say? It takes a very special kind of pony to guard the princesses.

530272 I would very much enjoy that.

How is this doing better than the fic from which it was inspired? I iz confuse.

535214 You wouldn't be the only one. Still, I can't exactly look a gift pony in the mouth now can I?

Ever heard of Extreme (27-option) Rock, Paper, Scissors?...I'd LOVE to see that played by these guards. :moustache:

Well done, by the way. Well done.

526554romney wears flip-flops. no, now he wear flop-flips. but obama.. he wears bucking combat boots!

Guards will be guards.:rainbowlaugh:

I don't even. One hoofed scissors? :applecry:

I have no idea what I just read...but for some reason I'm laughing.
