Unforeseen Consequences - Chapter 40

>Back in the slums there was this old book about architecture that Eris stole from a pack of yaks. It was really worn out, to the point that most of its pages were completely illegible. Among what little you managed to savage there was a small passage that said something about how architecture had the ability to evoke emotions of wonder and awe within one’s soul.
>Right now, those words were roaring with the intensity of a jet engine through your head. The impressive hall that Discord had brought you in had to be the throne room, no questions about it, and yet, you still had to ask again:
“Yo, what the heck is this place?”
>Discord held you on his paw like some sort of small toy and raised an eyebrow, “I’m not sure why you’re asking that question, young prince. By this point, you should be very familiar with the Princesses’ gaudy throne room”.
>It was at that moment when you realized that your own sense of wonder had betrayed you. Now that Discord was aware of your lack of knowledge about the castle, he most likely realized that your whole threat was nothing more than a bluff.
>You had to come up with a clever response, otherwise he would most likely start to exploit this weakness to pull another scam.
“…Uh”
>A faint smile started to appear on Discord’s face as he leaned he coiled his neck around your body, “You have been in the throne room before, right?”
>Dang it, your brain went blank! This wasn’t the end of the world, though. You could still come up with something to save face and keep an even field with that oversized churro.

“Uh… S-Sure! I was just throwing one of those… what’s their name again? Y’know, those questions that are just opinions and they ain’t supposed to be answered… uh, hypothetical questions!”
>Discord stood there in silence, just looking right at your eyes with this thousand yard stare. You felt relieved that your bluff somehow worked… that only lasted for a brief moment, though.  For the next couple minutes, Discord burst into non-stop laughter. He laughed so much that he had to wipe a couple tears from his eyes before speaking again, “Those princesses are something else! And here I was thinking that I was the bad role model!”
“I-It’s really not that funny, man”.
>Discord’s laughter intensified as he held you like a puppy, “Oh, but it really, really is! But don’t get so grumpy, young prince. I’m sure those two have shown you plenty of other wonderful things, like… I don’t know, their previous castle?”
>Your mind immediately disregarded the current humiliation you were going through in favor of, well…
“THEY HAVE ANOTHER CASTLE?!”
>Discord snorted at your reply, but limited himself to simply tap your muzzle, “This is too good to be true! To answer your question, they HAD a different castle. From what I remember, it went up in flames after that whole drama with Nightmare Moon. A shame too, I really liked all of those cheeky traps that the princesses set up all over the place”.
“Nightmare… Moon?”
>Much to your surprise, Discord didn’t react by laughing and taunting you. His response was of pure surprise and worry, “Luna never told you about that? Oh my, I might have let my tongue a little bit too loose”.

“…”
>Man, what a way to spill the beans. So, the ladies used to live in a different castle which, considering it was booby trapped to heck and back, wasn’t located in Canterlot. At some point, something called Nightmare Moon damaged the castle so hard that your parents had to build a different one.
>All of that stuff was super easy to piece together, the real issue came with this Nightmare Moon thing. Why would Discord mention Luna but not Celestia? What made him tie them together? Sure, it has the word “Moon” in the name, but there has to be something more.
>“What’s the matter, did the cat eat your tongue?” Discord let out a chuckle and rolled his eyes. Then, he held you with his paw like a little toy and brought you close to his eyes, “I seriously hope that you didn’t believe all of what I said. Otherwise… well, I guess it’s just natural for little foals to believe in fairy tales. Wouldn’t you agree, young prince?”
>Despite all of your conjectures, they were nothing more than mere assumptions. Heck, you couldn’t even be sure if the base information was actually true, or just stuff Discord came up with to get another laugh out of you.
“Yo… don’t underestimate me, Discord! Maybe I don’t know much about Equestria, or magic… or even about the princesses, but I know darn well you and the ladies have been hiding a lot of stuff from me since the very beginning! So you better start telling me the whole story or the deal is off… the whole lot of it. You heard me, Discord? I’d rather starve in the slums than being used like some sort of toy!”

>Discord must have noticed that you were catching up on something, because he really tried to backpedal on his words as hard as possible, “Just… forget everything that I just said. Honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking”.
>You also knew how to bluff like one heck of a pro! Sure, that bluff might’ve made you look like a total idiot if your suspicions turned out to be false, but the fact Discord was struggling to even muster another word was all you needed to know that you were right on the money. All you had to do was to twist the knife and…
>A couple daggers sizzled past Discord’s ears and hit one of the ivory pillars. What followed next was a very familiar voice announcing her entry, “I agree with you on that, traitor!”
>Both you and Discord turned to the entrance of the throne room to see none other than the Captain of the Night Guard clad in her imposing, yet majestic armor… and ready to attack at any second.
“Moonlight!”
>A half smile flashed on Moonlight’s face as her ice cold gaze focused on Discord and she readied for battle, “That’s the name, little dude, don’t waste it”.
>While you actually liked Moonlight, her entrance couldn’t have had a worse timing. Not only she provided Discord with enough time to regain his composure, but she also stole all of his attention from you.
>Discord gave a quick and amused glance at Moonlight, and shrugged like if he didn’t have a single worry in the world, “Hmm… I’m not sure we’re acquainted yet, but judging by the looks, you must be part of that cute little group that Luna calls the Night Guard. I’m Discord, lord of chaos, and it’s an honor for you to meet me, little pony”.
>Moonlight wasn’t bothered by Discord’s demeaning behavior a single bit. The expression in her face was serene but at the same time completely focused, and this was also reflected in her voice, “Talk is cheap, traitor”.

>For a brief moment you could see a slight hint of disdain in Discord’s eyes. However, he simply grinned in a genuinely menacing way as he looked down on Moonlight like if she were a simple bug, “You should try it sometime, maybe you could save enough to buy yourself some charisma. Now, I don’t really care who you are, but since I’m a charitable soul I’ll give you a little bit of advice for free: Turn back while you can, little pony. This is a fight that you have no chances to win”.
>You weren’t really unaware of the fact that both of them were trying to anger, and by extension, cause the other to lose their concentration. However, while Discord’s strategy was to demean Moonlight, you couldn’t help but to be curious about the latter.
>Why was she calling Discord a traitor? This couldn’t be just some random insult, at least not based on what you’ve learned so far. After all, Discord proudly mentioned how he was “reformed”, that alone meant that he had to be some sort of “bad guy” in the past.
>This deduction was sort of corroborated when you considered the fact that he got genuinely bothered by being labeled as a traitor. There had to be a deeper story to this label, but you simply had no means to even have an idea on what it could be.
>As intriguing as it was, you simply had to let this mystery on the side. The atmosphere had grown so thick that you could’ve cut it with a butter knife. You had to intervene before Discord did something bad to Moonlight.
“What the heck are you guys doing? Just calm down and talk this over! Moonlight, you gotta listen to me. This is a huge misunderstanding, Discord didn’t foalnap me, he’s trying his darn best to…”

>Moonlight quickly cut you off, her gaze still fixated on Discord, “Keep that cute muzzle shut, lil’ dude. This is between me and that traitor over there”. She then adjusted her helmet and proudly pressed her hoof against her chest, “Discord, by the powers invested in me as the Captain of the Night Guard, I’m placing you under arrest. Put the colt on the floor and keep those talons and paw where I can see them”.
>Discord caressed his white beard as a crooked smirk appeared on his face, “Interesting proposal, but I’m afraid I’ll have to decline it”.
>Moonlight chuckled and adopted an attack position, “That’s just what I wanted to hear”. She then threw a couple of round objects with such an incredible speed, that for a moment you thought she opened fire with one of the blasters that the company’s patrols carried around.
>Even more impressive was how this showcase of physical prowess meant absolutely nothing to Discord. He didn’t even need to lift a talon to turn whatever Moonlight threw at him into a bunch of ladybugs that flew away into the darkness.
>Discord of course started laughing and even doing a petty dance around Moonlight. How couldn’t he? His victory was absolutely guaranteed, “All of that cool attitude and all you can do is throw jewelry? What a shame, but maybe this will serve you as a lesson to never pick up a fight with the lord of chaos!”
>Why would Moonlight use anything like that as a weapon? No, why would she even carry that kind of useless stuff with her? There had to be something more going on here.

>Just as expected, Moonlight didn’t care a single bit about what Discord was saying. Instead, she actually started to laugh, removed her helmet, and comfortably sat on the floor, “For being the lord of chaos you don’t have a lot of brains. You can’t win a fight that was never a fight to begin with”.
>Discord frantically blinked for a couple seconds before bending and coiling on himself until he was face to face with Moonlight, “…Come again?”
>Moonlight pushed him away and combed her mane as if to clean any trace left by Discord. She then let out a small giggle and pointed at her chest armor, more specifically, at the small hole in it, “You should pay more attention, traitor. The things I threw at your face weren’t pieces of cheap jewelry… they were actually signalers”.
>You knew it, you frickin’ knew it! There was no way that Moonlight would just show up and try to face Discord on a one-on-one. She had to have an ace under her sleeve, and Discord totally fell for it.
>That said, this also meant that she basically managed to throw Discord, and by extension, yourself into the worst possible scenario. Still, that was one heck of a move!
“Man, you have some smooth moves, Captain! I-I mean… Oh, no!”
>Discord raised an eyebrow before holding you between his paw and talons like a pair of dice, and quickly retreated all the way to the other side of the throne room.  Then, he moved you close to his muzzle and whispered, “Could you care to explain me what’s going on, young prince?”
“It’s in the name of the darn thing, man! Moonlight was never planning to fight you, all she did was send the message to the ladies and stall for time!”

>Discord looked at the emptiness of space with a thousand yard stare and caressed his beard in a nearly robotic manner, “Ah… so we’re basically doomed then”.
>While you wanted to point out that it was him whose butt was about to get royally stomped, however you’d need to hold onto that thought for a bit longer. Because it was in this moment when your parents decided to do their genuinely awesome entrance.
>It was hard to notice it at first, just a couple of brief specks of light flickering behind Moonlight. However, these small flashes continued increasing both in size and duration until it looked like Moonlight was standing in front of the night sky itself.
>This starry “sky” grew and grew until it finally engulfed half of the room, too bad you couldn’t move because otherwise you’d have tried to dive into the thing. Then, and in just a fraction of a second, the starry sky quickly collapsed onto itself creating a bright flash from which a very angry Luna emerged.
>Well, angry was a bit of an understatement, she was frickin’ furious. Luna’s eyes were nothing but bright beacons of light and her voice raged throughout the room like a thunderstorm, “You have crossed a line that should not be crossed, Discord! Surrender our child in this instant or I shall personally make sure that you find no moment of respite for the rest of your miserable existence!”

>On the other hoof, Celestia’s entrance was much blunter but still awesome. A frickin’ ball of fire exploded in the middle of the room, and from its embers Celestia emerged. She wasn’t angry like Luna, though. She looked more tired than anything else, “This is the end of the line, Discord. There’s no place in Equestria you can run off to”.
>Gosh darn it, this couldn’t end like this! Discord might be annoying and a real scammer, but he didn’t deserve to be punished for trying to help your sorry butt! You had to come up with something, and fast!
>While you were desperately trying to find some light at the end of the tunnel, Discord seemingly gave up all hopes. The guy simply patted your head and gave you a weak smile, “I suppose this is it. Well, my young prince, it was… an interesting experience to know you”.
>C’mon, Discord! Why couldn’t he realize the fact that there was still a chance?! It didn’t take more than a glance to realize that both Luna and Moonlight weren’t doing anything except for looking menacing.
>Well, maybe Discord was too lost in his own darn pride to realize anything that was happening, but you had already pieced everything together. Moonlight and Luna were waiting for Celestia to make the first move. However, instead of jumping to conclusions and attacking, Celestia opted to simply stand still and stare at you with this particular mix of expectation, warmth and wisdom behind her eyes.

>There was no way for you to properly put this feeling into words other than something inside you telling you that Celestia knew everything. Like somehow she put all the pieces together on her own, and rather than telling the others, she decided to see what decision you would take… almost as if this was some kind of test.
>Maybe all of this was wild speculation created by the sheer terror you felt at seeing Luna so frickin’ angry, but hey, as long as Celestia wasn’t doing anything, you still had a very good opening to help Discord.
>You still couldn’t move most of your body, but thankfully you were close enough to Discord’s muzzle to slam the side of your head against him, and sort of whisper the plan that you came up with.
“Screw that, game’s not over yet, man! The ladies think you’re trying to harm me, right? All we have to do is to stick to our deal, and show them that all you were doing was getting rid of the diseases I have”.
>Moonlight immediately caught onto your plan, of course she would, those darn radar-like ears made it impossible to keep a secret from her. It didn’t take long for Luna to notice that something was up and take immediate action along with the Captain. Luckily, Celestia “stopped” them by casting a subtle, but quite effective spell that stuck both of them to the floor.
>Maybe the disease was starting to affect your brain, because you could’ve sworn that Discord nodded to Celestia, and she responded with the same gesture. Regardless, he let out a small chuckle and placed you on top of his maneless head, “So you don’t plan to give up, eh?”

“Told you to not underestimate me, man! Part of this mess is my fault, and you can be darn sure I’ll make up for it! Now listen to me, Discord! The ladies are right in saying there’s no place in Equestria to hide… but I know that ain’t a problem to you! Just do what you did back at the orphanage: Take us to a different dimension, man. I don’t care where, but do it now!”
>Discord rolled his eyes and readied his talons, “I can’t believe that I’m accepting orders from a little colt”
>In just a flash and the blink of an eye, you went from the magnificence of the throne room to… well, you didn’t know how to describe it, heck, you weren’t even sure that you could comprehended the strange and bizarre place that Discord had brought you to.
>You felt Discord how carried and tossed you around like a little doll, the way he rubbed his talons against your mane. You heard him eagerly chanting victory, and even praising you with excited words, “That wasn’t the most stylish exit I have ever done, but who cares? The lord of chaos got the last laugh! I also have to give praise where praise is due. You really know how to think on your hooves, young prince”.
>All of this simply slid off from your mind like water on a rubber ball. All of what you could think of was that, maybe, just maybe you should’ve declined Discord’s offer and simply stayed in your bed.
“…”
>You felt Discord pinching your cheeks and calling out for you, but his words faded from your senses like a distant echo in a stormy night. As you tried to figure out what was happening to you, a torrent of electricity surged from deep within your body and flowed straight into your horn.
>That was all you needed to finally understand your situation. This wasn’t a new affliction caused by yet another diseases from a distant past, it was magic, and it made feel you terrified.

“Ah…”
>Something started to shake your body quite vigorously, was it Discord or was this a new symptom of your disease? Whatever it was, it didn’t matter, at this point the only thing you could really focus on was the flow of electricity cursing through every fiber of your being.
“Ah… Ah…”
>It didn’t take long for the magic-induced migraine to kick in full frickin’ force. That alone was as painful as it gets, but the fact that you couldn’t move a single muscle thanks to the stupid disease made it even worse.
“Ah… Ah… ACHOO!”
>There was a painful sensation in your horn, like someone had pulled it really hard. You weren’t complaining at all, though. The seemingly endless flow of magic had finally stopped, and you regained your senses, so that’s a darn huge win in your book.

>With that magical headache gone, you were finally able to take in your surroundings in a more thorough manner… and man, you still couldn’t make heads or tails of them. For starters, you were laying on a small patch of barren land that for some reason was as puffy as a pillow made of Eris’ feathers.
>While this could be considered incredibly weird in most scenarios, the real kicker came with the location of this small piece of puffy dirt. The darn thing was floating in the middle of frickin’ nowhere, and you meant this in the most literal way possible.
>There were neither a sky nor horizon in this place, just an infinite amalgamation of purple and palpitating fractal patterns, or at least that’s what you thought they were, those things pretty much looked exactly the fractals you’ve seen in a couple of math books.
>Regardless of what this “sky” was composed of, this whole place simply didn’t obey any natural or physical rule that you’ve read in your books. Heck, you couldn’t be sure if gravity truly existed in this place, there were other patches of land floating around in impossible angles and trajectories.
>Discord was standing right in front of you, and oddly enough, you just felt like he made a perfect match he perfectly fit with this whole madness. This small thought was immediately discarded when you saw a little smirk creeping its way into his face, you had to be ready for whatever trash that bald burrito had in store for you.
 >Much to your surprise, Discord simply taped his talons and paw together before speaking with a calm voice, “You had me worried for a moment, young prince. Not too much, mind you, only enough to wonder how are you holding up”.
“Man, how the heck do you think I’m… Yo…”

>You scratched your head and… holy heck, you could move again! You were too busy worrying about a whole lotta stuff to notice it, but man, you finally were rid of all diseases!
>You started jumping, rolling and galloping around Discord and all over the small the patch of land. Sure, there were some residual effects like general dizziness and a sensation of vertigo, but it felt so good to be back, man!
“I can’t believe it, I feel like a frickin’ million bits, man! Hah, hah! I’ve no clue how you did it, but you pulled off one heck of a job!”
>Discord proudly rubbed his talons against his chest and even give you a little arrogant wink, “Of course it is, what else you expected from the lord of chaos himself?” He then chuckled and patted your mane a couple times, “That said, you’re not too shabby either, young prince. The fact that you’ve managed to survive is an impressive feat in and of itself”.
>You were starting to get worried about how your dizziness was sort of increasing, and that you were so woozy that you found it a bit difficult to stand up, but everyone has acted so frickin’ vague today that you simply had to get some real info out of this guy.
“Y’know, it’d be really nice if I get some frickin’ answers for a change. I mean c’mon, man! Just tell me what the heck was wrong with me!”
>Discord starred deeply and carefully into your eyes for a couple seconds before finally shrugging off all his worries, “To put in a nutshell? Everything, and I mean everything. The diseases that afflicted your little body were far more serious than a simple common cold. We’re talking about the great plagues of old that put many kingdoms at the brink of destruction. That’s what was wrong with you, and that’s why no one wanted to tell you the truth. Is that a good enough explanation for you, young price?”

>Man, that was so frickin’ sick! You couldn’t wait to brag to Cherrywood about it! Even more so, maybe that could explain why you were feeling progressively worse: your body was still recovering from a legendary beating.
“Y-Yeah, I guess… I-I mean, no! There’s still some stuff you gotta explain, Discord! Why the heck did I get hit with that kind of heavy stuff? And why did you bring me to… whatever the heck this place’s supposed to be?”
>Discord let out a small yawn as he coiled his body in itself, “Aren’t you supposed to read a lot of books? Think, Resonance, think! You were born and raised in a different world, it’s simply natural that your body wasn’t equipped with the natural defenses that Equestrian ponies have developed throughout millennia. As for your second question…“
>Discord stopped for a couple seconds to touch your forehead with his talons. Most likely he realized that you weren’t exactly 100% peachy and wanted to make sure that your body didn’t have another surprise in store.
>It was probably nothing to worry about because Discord simply continued with his explanation, albeit a bit more wary about something, “First of all, you became a much bigger hassle than I could’ve ever expected, and by this point you should be aware that my magic is all about chaos. This marvelous landscape is my domain, everything that you see, feel and breathe in here is nothing but pure chaos. If you can’t piece the rest together by yourself, well, that’d be disappointing”.

>Basically, what Discord wanted to say, is that he ran out of batteries and this dimension was both his home, and a glorified recharging station for his magic. That was something super cool, and in any other situation, you’d have definitely buried him under a mountain of questions.
>However, your condition had deteriorated to the point where you couldn’t pretend to act tough anymore. Not only your vision had started to become blurry, you were both being hit with one heck of a headache and had difficulties to breathe.
“Discord… I-I’m sorry, man…but something’s wrong…”
>“I know, but that should be impossible!” Discord desperately started to inspect you in all sorts of weird ways. Like the guy opened your jaw only to slam it shut again, looked deep into your ears, and even licked the frickin’ frogs of your hooves, “I made sure to get rid of everything that might be an issue, I even made sure to remove those nasty cavities that you had! Why is this… ouch!”
>The last thing you were able to see before the world became a complete spinning and blurry mess, was Discord sucking on one of his talons while the other looked burnt to a crisp. Then, the headache became one heck of a migraine and the flow of magical electricity came back in full force.
>Your sense of hearing wasn’t entirely cut-off, but it was more like trying to listen to a broken radio. Besides the sounds of distant explosions, the only thing you could pick up was Discord’s own distress, “Why does he has so much magic?! Ouch! Stop… Try again… Is that all… Oh… Not my forest of petunias!”

>It didn’t take long for that small connection to the outside world to finally banish. Every sense and fiber in your being was overtaken by the migraine and the seemingly limitless flow of magic, now raging like a wild fire, rushing through your horn.
>This felt way worse than the incident back at school, you could just feel how everything was about to implode, and the worst part was that neither Celestia nor Luna were here to save you this time. Man, you could only hope that Eris didn’t suffer with her magic as much as you were about to.
>… … …
>… …
>…
>My original plan to spend the day before Discord came back was fairly simple: Listen to some music, read the magic book that Spring Cookie gave to me, and maybe put some of it into practice.
>It really didn’t take me long to realize that my plan was hella boring, so instead I decided to install a poker table in the middle of the living room, and invite a few friends over to play some games.
>My gang was… pretty unique, basically they were a buncha fellas that I’ve met during my stay in the Void. We had the sorta chill spider twins Scully and Magnus, the proud mice knights Bravio and Flavio, the leader of the dust bunnies’ tribe Hoity, and last but not least, Peter the gummy croc who was so big that we could only manage to fit part of his jaw through the door.
>Most of them have tried to kill me at one point or the other, but they were good fellas. Besides, it ain’t like they had a chance against me.
“A’ight, suckers, check this out!”

>The room fell silent as I readied myself for my ultimate party trick! All I had to do was to cover my eyes, throw five darts at the same time, and make sure each and every single one of them hit the dart board square in the center. Totally had this in the bag, dude!
>The gasps of my guests were all I needed to know that everything went absolutely perfect, that said, it never hurts to look at a job well done, and would you guess what? The five darts were firmly stuck in the jackpot. Like, I was frickin’ invincible, dude!
“HAH HAH, BULLSEYE! I WIN AGAIN!”
>My guests started whistling, hopping and well, whatever the heck they could do to praise my amazing skills. All but one little mouse clad in a finely crafted aluminum armor.
>Bravio stomped through the poker table, angrily pointing back and forth from the dart board to me while doing so, “What art thee talking about, Eris? Thee has't clearly broken the rules of our dealeth! Yond result is not valid!
>I quickly slithered through the floor and towered over the little mouse. I didn’t do it in a threatening way, mind you, it’s just that the size difference made it hard to not look like I was about to squash the little fella.
“Hey, don’t give me that trash! Our little deal was that you gotta give me that cute necklace if I hit that butt-looking apple square in the center, and guess what just happened, cheese-breath?”

>Bravio didn’t back off a single bit, instead he jumped to my paw, and then to my shoulder so he could angrily poke at me, “Thy w'rds art foul and thy breath stinks coequal w'rse! We did agree yond thee couldn't useth chaos magic!"
>Usually I’d get pretty pissed off at anyone overstepping like that, but as strong and valiant as Bravio wanted to look, well, he was way too adorable for me to get angry at. So I just grabbed him by the tail and dropped his cute little self back on the table.
>Before Bravio could jump back on his paws and challenge me to a duel, or whatever other thing knights liked to do, I pointed at a bag of chips near him and made it levitate over his head and into my mouth.
“Sucks to be you, lil’ buddy, ‘cuz you never said a thing about pony magic. Gotta be more specific next time!”
>One of the spider twins, more specifically Scully, burst into the closest thing to a hysterical laughter that a spider could do. She then grabbed with her legs a bunch of peanuts and a couple glass of soda and used the remainder ones to point at Bravio, “Hah, hah! Why’re you looking so surprised, Bravio? I did tell you about making bets with a draconequus, didn’t I?”
>Bravio let out a cute frustrated squeak and stomped his feet in quick succession, before throwing his helmet against the table, “Blast'd beest mine own luck!” Despite the little temper tantrum, he did produce a golden necklace, far bigger in size than him, from his armor and tossed it over to me, “Well enow, Eris, I wanteth a rematch!”

“Like I’ve told you the last fifteen times: You’ve gotta wager something, dude! I ain’t running a charity here!”
>The fun was abruptly interrupted by an incredibly bright golden light that blasted through one of the windows, and which wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t for the mighty earthquake that followed it.
>The entire living room became a wrecked mess, but that didn’t stop us to rush to the window as soon as we regained our composure, and what we saw through it was… weird, even for the Void standards. Like, there was this very bright ball of… energy, I guess? Glowing a few kilometers away from the house. Now, explosions ain’t exactly a rare sight in the Void, but this one… like, it wasn’t anything like I’ve ever seen before, not even during my training sessions with Discord.
“Huh, what the heck’s that?”
>Flavio and Bravio jumped onto my shoulder, and unlike me, they looked mildly annoyed by the event. Flavio in particular just waved snorted before spitting at the window, “T's belike just the penguins throwing yet anoth'r one of their parties.  Those gents very much liketh those blast'd pyrotechnics”.
“I dunno, dude. Like, that ain’t like any fireworks I’ve seen before”.
>Peter let out a little chuckle that caused a small typhoon inside the living room. No one really cared, though, it was already hard for him to do anything considering his jaw was partly stuck in the door, “That’s because you’ve never seen a penguin party before! Those crazy birds blew-up like three whole islands last spring!”

>Why the heck Discord never mentioned something like this before?! Like, you just don’t keep this kind of sick stuff as a secret, especially from me!
“Shut up! I gotta pay a visit to those dudes!”
>Hoity giggled as she hopped back into her seat and munched a couple peanuts that she found lying on it. She then threw a bunch of them into Peter’s jaw and smirked at me, “Sure, go have your fun, princess! Then you can tell us all about how you got buried under a literal a metric ton of penguin poo, just like our Bravio here!”
>Bravio trembled and rubbed his arms as he looked through the window with a thousand yard stare, “I rath'r not speak of yond”
>Like, I do love a good party and I’m definitely all for blowing stuff up, but I ain’t getting covered in waste again ever again in my life. Ain’t getting back to the slums life, dude.
“Ewww! That’s a hella deal killer right there… anyway, I’m bored of throwing darts, who wants to play some good ol’ poker?”
>… … …
>… …
>…
