[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!

[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.

[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?

[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.

[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.

[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!

[controledfreak]

So, let's see this art, then.

[She took that literally.]

[punched_by_sisko]

You're looking at 'em.

[controledfreak]

I'm not impressed.

[discorderly]

I must agree with Yg'baladoth; Q is a little short. But then, neither of us quite compare with her magnificent moniker.

[punched_by_sisko]

Oh-ho. And what would that be, pray-tell?

[discorderly]

Oh, Yg'baladoth the Lingering Murmur, Flesh of the Queen of Screams, all sorts of things like that!

She's very old-fashioned like that. A more classical type. [He leans in to whisper.] Isn't it just adorable?

[punched_by_sisko]

[Oh, one of THOSE. He didn't think they'd exist in Happy Shiny Pony Land. Oh, how wrong he was.]

Very. And quite the impressive set of titles, I must say.

[discorderly]

She says she came here to study the power of friendship!

[Discord clasps his hands over his heart.] It's just TOO perfect!

[punched_by_sisko]

Oh, it really is!

[discorderly]

I could just squeeze her and gobble her up!

...not that I will. She's quite concerned about that, as you may find.

[action/private]

[controledfreak]

[She looks in Discord's direction and then comes a whisper in his ear for him alone hear.]

Are you quite done?

[action]

[discorderly]

[Discord responds in kind.]

Mmmmmmm...I think so. It seems we have company, my dear~

[action]

[controledfreak]

[Whisper whisper]

I care not. But I would prefer to be the one that divulges what I wish of myself to others if you could be so kind.

[action]

[discorderly]

[Oh?]

Kindness is my favorite indulgence...I'll keep it in mind.

[action]

[controledfreak]

[Discord Alpha may be curious of this not-conversation by now...]

I can do naught else but to ask.

[She's of no mind to make an enemy out of something so dumb, after all.]

[action]

[discorderly]

Indeed! And on THAT note - I think you and I should tour Tartarus together sometime! That's what the ponies call the place where their dead go, and they keep their particularly dangerous enemies there as well!

[Suddenly he has sunglasses, an umbrella, and a picnic basket.] Makes for a lovely little daytrip~

[action]

[controledfreak]

...that sounds of a trap. Especially since it can keep those dangerous enemies there.

[Eyebrow raise. She's more curious to hear why he feels so inclined to bring her there.]

[action]

[discorderly]

It keeps THEM in. I am not them.

[Preeeeeeeeen he's Discord he's awesome remember?]

It's been ages since I've paid a visit, though. Poor little Smooze hasn't been fed in all that time, I'd wager!
