Prelude in C Minor - [Visual/Action]

[saxappeal]

[There's a minotaur all up in your collective grills, Equestria. One that has his face mostly obscured by a trenchcoat and fedora, both in a dusty light brown.]

Alright. Clearly, I musta fallen asleep in front of one of Peacock's shows or something. Because this is one hell of a dream.

[His voice is smooth, rich, and deep, almost as if he's a natural born singer.]

... well, either that, or some Skullgirl made the world's worst wish. Seriously, why's this place gotta be so bright...

Moping aside, might as well introduce myself. The name's Ben Birdland, but you can call me Big Band. It's what I'm used to.

Now, anybody wanna give me directions to the nearest bar? Because if I'm gonna wait this thing out, I'm gonna wait it out with some gin.

[If anybody so chooses, they can find the hulk of a bull stomping (lightly) around the Town Square, trying to get his bearings. Seems like there's a similarly massive saxophone strapped to his back, and he's having no trouble carrying it around.]

Guess you get eldritch weirdos everywhere, then.

... somebody else was babblin' about the "elements" to me. Uh... man, what was her name... Lucia Bolido. Yeah, her. Tellin' me how there's a copy of 'em in every universe or somesuch.

You think all those other universes got their avatar o' death, or is this one the millionth caller?

[millionbitpipes]

Ah, yeah, one of them.

Hard to say. This one already ate the universe she came from, and who even knows if she got others. If there were more of her, one of 'em would probably just absorb all the rest. She don't seem too keen on sharin'.

[saxappeal]

Ate... the universe. [Hold on.]

Alright, this stuff is officially out of my league.

[millionbitpipes]

It's inside her. All still there, but sorta...grayish, I think she said? With the Pale Pony watchin' it all for anythin' that moves. We're talkin' full-blown Outer God.

We got a mare here that can go inside her. No idea how that works, but she's been twice.

[saxappeal]

Whoo. That's some crazy stuff. Uh... how in the hell are y'all planning on dealing with this?

[millionbitpipes]

That's a real good question.

Some folks think they can talk her down. Offer her friendship or somethin'. [He pauses, staring down into his drink.] I dunno. Sounds silly to me, but there don't seem to be much else we can even try. The strongest people here couldn't even really make a dent in her.
