Around the streets of Fandom, Thursday morning
BobBob liked to wander around the island and just enjoy the relative freedom; that was never going to get old. Of course, when most everybody on the island had suddenly sprouted hooves and turned bright colours, it was even more fun to watch.
Honestly, this island. It must really miss Pinkie Pie.
DiscordWhy shouldn't it miss Pinkie Pie? Pinkie Pie was delightful. She had such a chaotic spirit.
As Bob wandered, he developed an oddly shaped shadow. A shadow that seemed to be cobbled together out of bits and pieces of random animals. A shadow with glowy yellow and red eyes.
"Well now," said the shadow. "You look rather pleased."
Bob"Do I?" Bob asked. "Well, why shouldn't I?" He eyed the...whatever it was. "Who are you?" Did he know you when you weren't being...whatever you currently were?
Discord"Merely a humble servant of chaos," Discord said, walking his way up out of the shadow on the ground until he was standing, bowing, next to Bob. "Friend of Fandom, champion of the absurd. It's nice to see you admiring some of my handiwork."
BobBob raised an eyebrow. "Yours? I had thought it was the island's." He paid a bit more attention now, knowing otherwise.
Discord"The island certainly has good instincts," Discord said. "But she has a little bit of trouble with scale, I think. It's a shame you haven't gotten a chance to participate, yet. You didn't want to be a pony?"
Because, you know, that was definitely a choice he was offering.
Bob"I wasn't aware we were choosing," Bob said, "but no, thank you. Why is everybody ponies?"
Discord"Why shouldn't they be ponies? They spend so much of their time wandering around as -- whatever it is you pale, boring creatures are. Being a pony or a griffon or a dragon is much more fun." He clasped his hands behind his back. "I'm surprised by your decision, Hrothbert. May I call you Hrothbert? It's a lovely name. Really rolls off the tongue."
Discord's tongue rolled out, releasing a little yellow ball that landed on the ground, shouted "HROTHBERT!" and ran off.
"Anyway, I'm surprised. Little known fact about ponies: they almost never have issues interacting physically with their environments."
BobBob narrowed his eyes. "You're remarkably well informed. You know, you never did tell me what your name was."
Discord"Oh gosh, did I forget to mention? I am Discord. Lord of Chaos and master of whichever domain I happen to have entered."
