Unforeseen Consequences - Harmony Inc.

>Y’know what Eris? I ain’t even gonna bother exploring this office. It’s so grey and boring, totally not worth my time, and is also too big! Like, stupidly big.
>No kidding, this place is at least as large as Canterlot, it would take us ages to get to the other side if we took the scenic route. So yeah, let’s skip the tour and go straight to Starlight.
>Sounds fine by me Eris, just a question tho. How are we even gonna do that?! This factory must be massive! It would take us weeks just to get an idea where the pink gal may be!

>Pffft! Why are you worrying! I’m a spirit of chaos, remember? I don’t do walking.
>Tee-hee! I forgot I could just teleport! A’ight, Eris! Hold on to our sexy butt ‘cuz here we go! CHAOS POWERS ACTIVATE!
>Okay! Lame phrase aside, our magic must have brought me to where Accord was holding Starlight. Sooooo~! Why it doesn’t look like a cell? What the heck is this place?
>It’s an office, dude. Like, a real office from a real top tier company dog. It’s just that this one is larger than Ponyville’s main square.

>Really? And what makes you think that?
>Are you dumb?! Just look around you! There’s a nice carpet that must cost more than the annual salary of Auntie Flutters, book shelves with super thick folders and books, stupidly expensive furniture and a massive desk with a stupidly comfy-looking chair behind it! This is totally an office, dude!
>I know that! I’m not blind, y’know?! It’s just that I don’t remember offices having ponies strapped to a creepy metallic armchair and forced to watch a horrible cartoon about harmony and order.
>Gotta give you a point there, that shtick is more like what human resources do. MMM, hey, Eris? Maybe I’m going crazy with all this business stuff, but ain’t that Starlight who’s strapped to the chair?

>Lemme see… Lemme see… Oh, yeah! You’re right! That is Starlight!
>What are we waiting then?! Let’s go and say hello to her!
“Hiya there Mo- Geez! You don’t look like you’re having too much fun.”
>Leaving the great jokey attitude aside, I don’t really think that any of the villains I saw in the TV show were ever this wicked. Like sure, you have guys like Tirek and King Sombra trying to conquer the world, but I dunno…
>You mean the part about strapping ponies and literally hold their eyelids while they are forced to watch some horrible propaganda flick?
>Yeah, and now that I think about it! The Sombra’s cult was just like this too. Too evil and ruthless compared to what the cartoon showed. Guess bad guys ain’t like what you see on TV.

>Hey, I like the chat and all that, but maybe we should go back to Starlight for a bit? I just got the perfect joke for this moment!
“Strap chair, bondage and weird movies? Now what the heck were you doing in here, Motley? MMM y’know, I think I’ve seen something like this before.”
>No, seriously, I think it was a movie or something. Just like that dude didn’t have bloodshot eyes and froth coming out of his mouth like Starlight here, wait! Is she…? “GET ME OUT OF THIS STUPID THING BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND!”
>Oh, thank goodness she’s not dead! This another body that I didn’t have to hide and bury today! And that means I can get back to my jokes!
“What’s the magic word?”
>“ERIS!”

>Alright, alright! Enough jokes, time to free that pony from the kinky chair.
“Correcto-mondo! See? Everything is better when you actually show some manners!”
>Okay! She’s coming down the chair! Very slowly I should say… and… why is her horn shining so mu-
>*BOOOM*
>Aaaaand Starlight just blew up the chair and half the office with it! Maybe I should take a look at what’s beyond that hole while she takes a breather.
>Guess is because this view gave me lots of creepy vibes, but… I feel like I need to get a bit more serious here.
>There ain’t windows here, and if there are, they are so far-away that I can’t see them even with the cool telescope I just created. I could see other things tho, too bad they all sucked!

>This place didn’t have bulbs or anything like that, nope, it had a mini sun shining up above with a depressing white light… and I spy with my little eye a mini-moon being raised, far, far, faaaaaar from here.
>Well, so the office was at the very upper part! Just like any top dog would like it, but what about what was far below?
>Well, Eris, I’m glad you asked! ‘Cuz I can’t see a thing, captain! Seriously, not even with amazing telescope I could see anything beyond the very thick layer of smog that covered everything. Well, y’know, other than some machines sticking out.
>Guess I’ll need to bring a better telescope then. Good think I can do it with just a spin of my talon.
>A’ight! So what do we have here, Captain Eris? Nothing good, first-officer Eris! That’s for sure!

>No seriously, I wish I didn’t do that ‘cuz what I’m seeing is breaking my heart. Lots and lots and lots and lots of ponies were doing different jobs down there.
>Well, if I gotta be fair, not only ponies got the short end of the stick. There were dragons using their fire to fuel the machines, diamond dogs pushing carts of coal, griffons repairing and carrying stuff.
>But that wasn’t the worst part! Noooo! Accord also brought kids into this grey, polluted nightmare! Like, I ain’t even joking, there were foals working on this factory.
>Yeah, dude, I’ve seen my fair share of bad stuff, but this? This takes the cake, wraps it up and then eats it with one bite. I-I can’t look anymore, this was too depressing for me.
>Hey! Looks like Starlight is back on her spirits now! Cool, now I can get back to business and take down this factory with my incredible magic!

>“Alright, Eris. I bet you had your fun, but… but I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe. I-I don’t think we can do this on our own, we… we have to go to Canterlot Castle, Eris! We have to tell the Princesses, and Discord, and everypony about what’s going on here! We have to come back with an army to destroy this place before it’s too late!”
>What?! No! No, no, and no! I ain’t dropping this! Celestia trusted me on this one! And my old man would just laugh at me for a whole week if I don’t do this on my own!
>I know this factory totally sucks, but running away would just make me look like a chicken! And I ain’t no chicken! I’m ERIS! Besides, what can they do that I can’t?! I’m a spirit of chaos! I can control reality!
>Nope! I’m gonna stick to my original plan and that’s it! I just gotta get that through Starlight’s thick skull.
“Getting help? Puh-lease, Motley! Dontcha remember what I told ya before? I’m all the help you will ever need. ”

>“You seriously did it?! That’s great Eris!” D’aww, she hugged me! How cute!
“Yeah, girl! Accord wasn’t up to Eris’ coolness! And guess what? Without that dumb dude bothering us, I can totally use my magic to send this place back to where it came from!”
>“Hold on, there! Accord? Eris, that’s not the boss here” And she went back to being worried. Her cuteness didn’t last long, did it?
“What do you mean he’s not the chief around these parts? Wasn’t Accord in that cheesy cartoon you were watching? He’s the dude who looks like my dad if he had taken a buncha pills of boringtinine and talked with a horrible accent.”
>“Of course I know who Accord is! I’ve been forced to watch that horrible movie for hours! What I’m telling you is that he’s not the mastermind behind Harmony Inc.!”
>What… Oh, yeah! Accord did say something about somepony else giving him the idea to turn Equestria into this boring grey blob of a factory!

“Whatever dude, is not like I can’t be stopped now, soooooo~! Whaddya say if we AAAAAAEEEIIIAAAAAAAA!”
>That feeling again?! BUT HOW! I knocked out that Accord dude! This shouldn’t be happening!
>“Eris! Oh, no! Are you okay?!” Is not like I don’t liked the worry, but geez what a stupid question!
“Yeah! Hnnng! Sure! I’m just peachy! I just like… to contort in pain for kicks and giggles. Just… give me a sec, alright?”
>Hey, Eris. I was thinking with our pretty head, don’t you think that maybe, just maybe, Accord woke up and is about to kick our sexy butt?

>Eris, don’t make me look like an idiot, okay?! If Accord was up and running, then he would already be here! But do you see him or hear his stupid Scottish accent?! Of course not!
>I was just asking…no need to get all grumpy, geez.
>Just shut up, a’ight?! I ain’t in the mood right now!
“Okay… that was enough chilling! Motley! Get your butt ready, ‘cuz we’re bringing a world of pain to the idiot who… uh… Motley?”
>Why was Starlight giving me that funny look? Did my mane got ruined or something?

>”E-Eris? I-I really don’t have an idea how to say this, but… ahm… why don’t you turn around?”
“Oh… He’s behind me, right?”
>AHA! I told ya Accord was hunting for us!
>Yeah, whatever! I will just act all chill and cool, and when he tries to give us his evil monologue, I will just sucker punch him again!
 “A’ight Accord, I’m sorry for that low blow. Is just that I kinda got nervous, y’know? I haven’t been able to land a job in a looong time, and this whole business of… OH, MY, GOSH! Who the heck are you?!”
