Dimension hop 10-Discord

>Well the new chat was a bust.
>Tons of dudes were there, just not Lyra.
>You sigh, taking note of all the other worlds you linked to.
>At least the chat worked, and you could download the dimension's coordinates from it, once she got on.
>You look at the screen
>>ARTY:Yeah, she was on just a little bit ago. And she said she might be on sooner, so I wouldn't suggest leaving.
>You sigh again.
>Getting back on, you get into meaningless conversations about things like music, who hates Molestia more, why is Discord such an asshole...
>The usual.
>Hours pass and it is well into the night.
>Suddenly, someone logs on.
>>ANON...so yeah, its really more of dicksword's fault that anyone else's.
GEST has logged in.
>>GEST:Oops, lost my name there, hold on.
GEST has changed name to LYRA
"Shut my mouth."
>>ANON:Can someone pick my jaw up from the floor next time they see it? Thanks. Lyra!
>>LYRA:Oh, hello Anon! ..though which anon are you again? Unfortunately I've seen a lot of them lately in the chats.
>>ANON:The one who promised to visit.
>>LYRA:Oh! Well hello. The other guys called you Boots.
>Why the hell does everyone call you that?
>>ANON:So is it still alright if I come visit?
>>LYRA:Yes! Visiting is fine!
>>ANON:What if...I had to stay. Like if I couldn't leave after I got there.
>>LYRA:I guess you could stay...I even have a human sized bed for Sherm here!
>And some say the sound of your heart breaking could be heard from your place all the way to Timbuktu.
>What's left of it anyway.
>>PNGN:Feelin the LOVE anon?
>>ANON:I'm feeling something more like </ /3
>>PNGN: </ /3? Sounds serious.
>>LYRA:I think I have to ask Sherm first. Is it ok if Anon uses your bed?
>>SHRM:Well yeah, it isn't really mine if I can't go there. I vote the guy can use it. Hey Boots, you have my blessing. (Whatever you need it for, man i don't know.)
>>PNGN:<3?
>>ANON:Yeah, I'm feeling it.
>>LYRA:Then it's settled. Anon can come over!
>Oh, right, the link.
>You start it up.
>...
>.......................this is taking foreverrrrrr
>1%
"Wow."
>>LYRA:Are you there?
>Oh, right.
>>ANON:Yeah, just trying to set up the link between dimensions...
>The download halts.
>>ANON:..it stopped.
>>you have been disconnected
"ARE YOU FOR FUCKING REAL!?"
>You flip a nearby chair that you have since left by you for purposes such as this.
>Of all the useless bullshit ways to lose, having a faulty internet connection pretty much tops the list.
>Right above being decapitated by a norse king.
>You pull your boots up to you and put them on.
>You had to take them off earlier once you realized you hadn't changed in a month.
>Yo feet were rank.
>Iin any case, it was high time you checked on those broadcast towers and lines and whatnot.
>Internet came from somewhere, and you were not going to lose to a faulty connection.
>Suited up and dressed for success, you Jump outside and look for any sign of the internet.
>...
>Hours later...not a single broadcast tower, telephone line, modem, router. Nothing.
>Maybe you had internet via microwave transmitter?
>With a sigh, you sit back at the computer.
"I just don't know what went wrong."
>Oh, at least you'v reconnected since then.
>>ANON:Ok, I'm back. The internet was spotty there for a while. Had to go check on whatever was giving it to me, but I didn't find it.
>>UNMZ:It was
>>ANON:What?
>>UNMZ:
>>ANON:I don't get it. Is Lyra still here?
>>LYRA:...yes.
>>UNMZ:mother fucker, i said it's
>>ANON: Ok, so the link is back up, it should work...
>2%.
>Faster than nothing I guess.
>>ANON:How long are you going to be on, Lyra?
>>LYRA:Only a few more minutes, I have to get some shut-eye.
>>ANON:Well in that case, tell me about your day. I haven't seen you in weeks, we should have a bunch to catch up on.
>>LYRA: (: D)
>15 minutes later, she leaves, and your download sits at 11%
LYRA has logged off
>>ANON:Well then that's it for me. If she comes on the same time for at least a half hour every day or so, and I don't lose the internet, it should work by Sunday or Monday.
>>SHRM:...Anon, I think you should realize that lf159 probably downloads links faster. I'll tell Lyra next time to go there. I have the feeling you can't wait that long.
>>ANON:Well it does work faster...but everyone left there. Ah well. Thanks Sherm, gnight!
>>SHRM:Yeah, good night.
>You roll over, shut your computer, and go to sleep.

>"You shouldn't have done that, Anonymous."
>A creeping echoing laugh pervades your sense of gravity, sending you spinning.
"I know about the BEN DIES shit, just cut the crap Discord."
>You fold your arms.
>Ground appears below you.
>Well, above you.
>Actually, you're upside down.
>You land on your head and fall, but get back up.
>Lucid dreams are the weirdest. But you remember Discord was present yesterday, and also in the chat a few days ago.
>"So Anonymous, have you come to have tea? I was just about to wish a merry unbirthday..to me!"
"Your rhyme scheme is bad, and you should feel bad."
>Discord makes himself apparent.
>"Well if SOMEBODY played by the rules, I wouldn't have to take such drastic action!"
"What rules, asshat?"
>"Ah, the rules specifically state that I can't actually reveal anything to you."
"So its YOUR rules. You aren't following your own rules?"
>"And you're surprised? Actually, i AM following my rules. A perk of being chaotic is that I'm not statistically obvious. I can follow some rules if I want to."
>He splits apart into a few of himself and one forms a table. Another a chair for you, and the last two form himself in a throne.
>"But I'm here to talk about YOU."
>Face, meet palm.
>Hi, how ya doin?
>"I figured I'd be more honest with you Anon, old pal."
>You scoff, and he smiles.
>"I know! Just the concept amuses the both of us!"
>"Your world isn't Earth."
"Come again."
>"Your world stopped being Earth the moment it ceased to spin."
>Thinking about it, yeah, you remembered the Earth stopped turning...but he days and nights?
>"I move the sun and moon, of course. I run the internet, the electricity. Hell, I'm not even the bad guy."
>This fucker's the one who's screwing with the internet?
>"Oh, come off it. I have to be everywhere all over the place in order to reshape the world in my image...and I have a LOT of images."
>Splitting himself into his individual animal parts for effect, he laughs.
"So...Earth is Equestria? This is your dramatic reveal?"
>"Oh, not so much. You should have figured it out sooner. The REAL clue, is that you're the only human."
"No I'm not, there's Spiri-"
>"Also me."
"Bullshit."
>"Anonymous, the only reason I do this is to tell you that I'm on your side! Am I not allowed to be a friend?"
"No."
>"Oh...I see."
>He sullenly stands from his throne and snaps his fingers, bringing to him a comically undersized umbrella and a raincloud directly above him.
>he's not gonna...
>Yes, he is.
>The rain starts falling on him and he makes the most pitiful face you've seen.
"Discord...I'm sor-"
>"HAH! Fooled you!"
>The cloud pops and he sticks the little umbrella into a nearby empty glass.
>"Ah, well you can't expect me to really be upset. I'm going to be spending many years alone with my creations, only for them to turn on me and imprison me in stone."
"That's pretty bleak there, D."
>"Yeah well, it isn't ACTUALLY set in stone yet, and neither am I!"
>That pun was dumb, but you grin.
>"See? We all just need a good laugh now and then. Now I'm actually rooting for you to get out of dodge so I can start the reformation of the planet, it'll happen on Sunday whether you're ready or not...so hurry up, wake up, and get with Lyra already. You make such a cute internet stalker couple!"
>You were surprised, then blushing, and now offended.
>How the fuck does this asshole do that?
"Wait, on Sunday?"
>He grins knowingly.
>"Yes, about the time your link will work." Cutting it a bit close, yes, but what's the point without some DANGER and urgency thrown in?"
>With a snap, he's gone.
>You spend your remaning dream going over how to introduce yourself to Lyra.
>You're pretty sure you'll need the practice.
