[Oh, look, it's a part of Ponyville! Except it's futuristic. Too futuristic. Are those aliens there, too?! What's going on...?!]

Hope you don't mind the change! Fantasy worlds are nice, but they can be BORING.

[And out steps... HUMAN! AHH!]

Oh, wait, I'm supposed to be incognito, aren't I?

[He snaps his fingers and, in a burst of light... AH! CHANGELING! And why does he sound like Discord?]

I DO hope you like this! I think it makes this place look wonderful!

((Oh, hello. How do you Q, er do?))

[Same voice. Check. Same arrogance. Check. Yes, there is only one thing that can be concluded.]

[Cue one very irritated-looking unicorn that really isn't]

...just what are you up to now, Discord?

[wizardofharmony]

Tomoe wept, another one.

Art thou human, draconequus, or something else?

[discorderly]

[Discord leans back next to her, eating popcorn and looking somewhere between intrigued and annoyed.]

Don't look at ME. I don't do changeling.

[Visual]

[ponymechanic]

...An illusion?

[Seeing him human did startle Tails slightly. He didn't think it was possible.

He first assumed that Q's Discord, but seeing Discord's reply proved otherwise. Sure it could still be a trick, but for now he'll go with it.]

Are you some kind of chaos god?

[Action]

[strawberryredgrave]

I dunno; fantasy worlds have their appeal.

(So says a dragon laying on a cliche UFO.)

Then again, I deal with that a lot more than I do future stuff.

[controledfreak]

[She takes a step back, never removing her gaze from Q and Discord. Okay... that... was a good trick.]

I'd ask how you are doing this were I to not know this still lies within the realm of what you are capable of.

What game is this?

[its_pony_rider_time]

Can you do secret moon bases too?

[Gentarou is excited as he wants to go and meet this newcomer and he is literally getting on his jacket to go talk to him.]

[punched_by_sisko]

Oh, it's no game my dear. You see, I'm not him. 'sides, I'd never name myself something so bland as "Discord".

The name is Q, by the way.

[punched_by_sisko]

What I am is Q. Simple as that, really.

Truthfully, I'd go around as a humanoid, but seeing as everyone else is a pony, I'd kinda stick out like a sore thumb!

[Visual]

[punched_by_sisko]

Chaos god? [he scoffs] Please, I'm much more sophisticated than that!

[Action]

[punched_by_sisko]

Ah, but in the future, everyone's so stiff and unassuming that it's so much fun to rile people up!

[visual]

[punched_by_sisko]

Hmm, that's new - someone who is actually, genuinely happy to see me. This isn't some sort of trick to let me guard down, now is it?

[You have confused him, Gen!]

Re: [visual]

[its_pony_rider_time]

Naw, I'm into all things space! To see this kind of level of space stuff is beyond cool!

[controledfreak]

And that is much better?

Q, the 17th letter in the English Alphabet. Also particularly used to denote a question or a query.

Q is also a homophone with "queue" which is a line of which individuals wait, or perhaps "cue," which is both as a sign that it is time for a theatrical actor to take part in a play, or as a stick that is intended to move balls in the game of billiards.

Was that intentional, or do you enjoy bringing people to question the significance of your own name?

[punched_by_sisko]

Oh, it's quite intentional, I assure. Everyone in the Q Continuum has the same name. Keeps lesser species on their toes.

[visual]

[punched_by_sisko]

Huh. Well, then...!

[Visual]

[ponymechanic]

How so?

[He's honestly curious now.]

[Visual]

[punched_by_sisko]

Would a "Chaos God" do this?

[Since he has no fingers, he goes with the next best thing - clapping his front hooves together, the background changes again, this time something more modern-modern.]

I don't do... how do you put it?... pants-on-head stupid. It's so much more better when you change something out of this world than changing something that causes outright chaos.

[Visual]

[ponymechanic]

[Ooh nice.]

Ah that's true. I wouldn't say "pants on head stupid" more like random.

So then, how do you have those powers?

[controledfreak]

And does everyone share the same arrogance as well?

[punched_by_sisko]

Oh, do they! But, it's a matter of forming it into an art that makes it REAL special!

[Visual]

[punched_by_sisko]

It's mine. I've always had it. Well, except for that one time when the Continuum took it away from me.

[controledfreak]

So, let's see this art, then.

[She took that literally.]

Re: [visual]

[its_pony_rider_time]

Can you make a clubhouse? Out of a former space station?

[Action]

[strawberryredgrave]

Gotta admit: I kinda like shaking people up once in a while. Turns out I have a knack for annoying the hell out of people.
