Eighth Kindness [Private Visual to Discord]

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel appears on the scroll, opening her mouth, then closing it. She looks away for a second while clearing her throat.]

Um... I... I was wondering if... you could do something for me...

It's...

[Cruelly trails off again. This is going to be very hard for them to ask.]

Comments

[discorderly]

My lips are sealed~

[Discord zips up his lips, removes them, and tosses them out the window.]

Now then. What sort of story would you like? [His voice is now issuing from his blue horn, and sounds rather like he's talking through a tunnel.]

[Action]

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel raises an eyebrow at the chaotic actions of the draconequus, but then stifles a laugh shortly after. When she quickly recovers, she picks up a book that was next to the bed and motions that Discord should read this one.

Apparently, it's a boring adventure story with absolutely no chaos in it. And it follows a plot. And it has a beginning, middle, and end in that order.

This book might be horrible to Discord.]

[discorderly]

Oh, you have a book.

[And here he thought he'd just make something up.]

Haven't you read it already?

[cruel_kindness]

[Once the book is handed off to Discord, Cruelly's able to speak again.]

Yeah... but we haven't had it read to me yet.

[Cocky Cruelly is cocky.]

[discorderly]

[Discord huffs.]

Oh, fine. Let's see heeeeeeere...

[He opens it and starts flipping through the pages. Is it at least a VAGUELY interesting story? He might start improvising...]

[Action]

[cruel_kindness]

[Well, it depends if Discord thinks Daring Do and the Griffon's Goblet to be boring. Meanwhile, Cruelly goes and gets themselves into bed.]

[discorderly]

[Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

Discord starts reading the book. As he goes, it does not take long for the story to start deviating. Is there usually a handsome and charming draconequus character?]

[Action]

[cruel_kindness]

[Not usually. Upon hearing the handsome Draconequus making his entrance, Cruelly clears her throat and gives Discord a look. Is she going to have to regret asking you to do this?]

[discorderly]

[.....siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

FINE. He'll continue.]

[Action]

[cruel_kindness]

[Hey, you wanna not be stone? You're gonna have to learn to accept that things don't always go your way, Discord. You can't snap your fingers to force Cruelly to enjoy the way you want to read a book. It's one of the facts of life of being part of a society.

Consider it a Reaper Challenge in a way.]

[discorderly]

[YOU don't get to give him Reaper Challenges! He's a challenge! An Everybody Challenge!

But fine fine fine if you must have your book. He came here planning on just making a story up, and it would have been about a million times cooler than this, but whatever.]
