A career in politics...

Hello, everyone! I hope you are all having a great Christmas and holiday season!

“I call dibs on the car!” Dash enthusiastically blurts out after finishing her soda, helping Sunset open the box of the game. I can’t exactly pretend to know what she means by a car. I haven’t played this game. “Yo, Dagi. What kind of token do you want?” Dash asks me, holding out the pieces we’re supposed to play with. Eyeing each one, I find it a little comical to have a top hat and a shoe as board pieces.

Not surprised Dash went for the car.

“I was waiting for ya to realize that,” Applejack just barely tells Dash, wheezing in laughter. Our friend, however, isn’t pleased. A grumble comes from her as she hands the 200 dollars over to Sunset.

Wait, did she do a bet with Sunset!? Or was it Monopoly money?

“Ooh, I get to move eight spaces,” Rarity mentions with a grateful smile. Her hand tenderly picks up the tophat, moving it forward. It wasn’t exactly a surprise for her to pick that piece to be honest. I kind of expected it from her actually. “Pall Mall? That sounds nice~ Does anyone own that yet?” While everyone else has been trying to own spaces of the same color, Rarity’s purchases have been really sporadic. She seems to be buying properties due to their names and services. The icons on the spaces also seem to influence her decisions in some capacity.

It's Rarity so it makes sense.

“It’s ‘damn’, darling~ No need to censor yourself around us.” Rarity drags her finger under Applejack’s chin, making the latter blush. Applejack quickly rolls for her turn to try and avoid the embarrassment. Moving only two spaces, the cowgirl lands on one of her own spaces, quietly ending her turn.

Darn doesn't count as cursing.

“Whoever said money can’t buy you happiness was full of it,” Dash states with one of the most annoyed tones I could ever imagine.

Because it can't.

I’ve been paying taxes this whole game since I’ve barely been able to buy any properties. I keep landing on the wrong spots and the spaces I do want to buy have already been taken by everyone else. It’s not like I could buy it from my friends. I don’t have any money.

Oof.

However, Sunset’s expression isn’t exactly… cheerful. If anything, she looks tired. Each turn of hers is played with no enthusiasm and she’s hardly said a word in the last thirty minutes. Every time I look over at her, I can’t help but feel a certain heaviness in my chest. Maybe I was wrong to bastardize this game just for my own benefit…

Ya think?
