Honestly Saft, At what point did you become so Tsundere?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Oh, like you're so surprised.

Comments

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Oh great, it's a Discord.]

...Aren't you supposed to be reformed now?

[soapskating]

Oh, I am! You have no idea just how completely reformed I am right now. I'm practically drowning in social norms.

But that doesn't have to stop me from dropping in on an old friend of my mundane's, now, does it? [ He teleports beside her and slings an arm around her shoulders - hope you like your personal space invaded. :^) ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[And it's exactly that reason why she's hesitant to deck you one in that furry dragon-like face. She's still wanting to hope that Discord has actually changed his ways for the better and is going to make a habit of not being the biggest jerk ever.]

Uh-huh, Discord...

So once the two of us part ways I'm not going to find myself sporting a nice pair of antlers or a rabbit tail until we next cross paths or anything like that now, am I?

[Yeaaaaah, it's gonna take alot of convincing to get her to finally trust you though.]

[soapskating]

Oh, pshh, come now, as if I'd do something so obvious. [ Mental kick from the mun... ] ...I mean, of course not! Nothing of the sort. Unless you want antlers or a rabbit tail. I can be very accommodating.

[ He leaves a red-tape bow in her hair, disappears, and reappears on a cotton candy cloud with what looks like lime soda in a martini glass. Discord starts stirring this idly with a miniature umbrella. ]

So. How's things? Good, I trust? Still as tsundere as ever? I take it you are, or you wouldn't be so cold to me right now. Don't worry, Saft, I know you care for me deeply.

Me and that grey friend of yours.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Cute red bow aside there's something there that actually caught her attention.] Corvidan...

[Oh look, there's that tell-tale sign that she has strong friendship feels for a certain someone.]

Has he been okay?

[soapskating]

[ There's that >:3 face he puts on sometimes when he knows he has someone's attention. ]

Oh, he's doing quite well! Though unfortunately he couldn't be here today for reasons related to... hm, let's see. [ Discord whips out what looks like a hospital bill and unfolds some reading glasses. ] Ah, here we are! "Timeline surgery, magical ret-con operations, and an appearance overhaul." Hmm. Sounds expensive to me.

Oh, well! I'm sure he'll be right as rain as soon as our shared mundane gets around to everything. I believe he's 1056722nd on the grand to-do list. [ HE'S JOKING RIGHT. ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Oh gee, Poor guy :( It certainly sounds as if it'll be a really long while before Saft gets to see him again - Is he even going to really remember her through all of that?]

Well mun's do get busy... on top of having two jobs and taking care of all those animals I'm surprised mine even has time to spend with me.

I guess she just has a heck of a time of trying to keep me quiet.

[soapskating]

[ He might. Depends how much is changed. Discord, meanwhile, is enjoying playing the go-between. ]

Mine, I believe, is struggling through their first year of university. That, and signing up to work abroad for a while. Oh, the life of a student is so busy. One has to wonder how they manage all of this online time-frittering on the side. I blame magic. [ a true Equestrian always blames magic. ]

As for us muses, well, it's difficult to find any wiggle-room now that we've been joined by a few giant talking robots. Although I have to admit, sticking a spanner in the works is a lot more amusing when it's literal.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[At this point Saft's mun snickers because there seems to be something about Discords and giant talking robots where they all wind up in the same headspace. Though Saft's had two of those up in her mun's headspace once before!]

To be honest nowadays it's getting lonelier up here...I think my mun wants to play other characters but she either loses any faith in herself that she can do it or she just wants to concentrate on me.

[soapskating]

Concentrating on just one or two things at a time is so last year. Apparently what's "in" this season is taking on every possible responsibility at once and burning yourself out as fast as you can. Life is a race, you know!

At least, that's what my mundane is doing. I'm only going by what they seem to think is "hip". [ ... ] On second thoughts, yours seems to have a much better long-term plan.

Oh, well! Either way, my mun is being sickeningly encouraging right now and I'll have no part in it. "Reformed" doesn't mean going all fluffy-wuffy cutesy-wootesy, my mun respects yours abso-lutely. Ugh! Count me out. The only thing I will tell you is that interacting is always an adventure! - or so I hear from Mr. (Un-)Pleasant.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I'm confused as to why that is exactly, Discord. My mun doesn't think she's anything special...she sees herself sorta like a donkey if anything. Just plods along and lets life throw whatever the heck it wants at her.

But the feelings mutual. My mun thinks yours is really great too.

And even though this is kinda weird to say, I've sorta missed dealing with you.

[soapskating]

Oh, and what's wrong with a donkey? I'm sure there's some in me, somewhere.

If life throws lemons at you - [ He begins juggling three, for effect. ] - hoof them right back. [ aaand now they're being kicked carelessly at Saft one by one. how d'you miss him now ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[When life gives you lemons, you can make lemona-aa-de but life gave Saft, Discord so- well played.

Also oh joy, now she's covered in Lemon gunk, ew.]

Or maybe just wash the lemons off and start all over again?

[soapskating]

Well, I suppose - if you don't want to make any progress.

[ he loves food metaphors. there's always an excuse to pelt somebody with something when you use food metaphors. ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I make plenty of good progress!

[Says the girl who's bat-shit crazy father keeps somehow coming back from the dead to exact his revenge upon her oh and by the way Saft how IS that peace treat between dragons and humans going anyway?]

I can control my powers way better now than I used to.

[soapskating]

[ He's tempted to do something very un-reformed and see just how well she has the hang of things, but now isn't the time. Luckily even Discord is bound by a few rules at the moment. And Fluttershy wouldn't want that. But that's beside the point! ]

We all start somewhere, I suppose. Or is it "no one starts perfect"? I can never remember these cavity-inducing idioms. Anyway, control is relative.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Wait, does that mean you don't even consider yourself perfect? That's something I wouldn't expect to hear from you.

[soapskating]

I'm perfect in my imperfection - don't you think so?

[ He stretches out on a cotton-candy cloud in typical exaggerated swoon formation, sticking one mismatched leg up for emphasis. HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. LOOK AT HIM SAFT

...and then, still upside-down: ]

Besides. I said no one starts perfect. I hope you don't believe I was just whisked into existence already this well-practiced.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I guess not!

[Okay, you actually managed to get a small laugh out of her. Like she said earlier, She's actually missed dealing with all Discord's...well Discord!]

[soapskating]

I'm glad you agree. One of the newcomers doesn't seem to care much for my sense of humour, and I have it on good authority that the other doesn't have one. I'm wasted on the headspace audience, I tell you!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well if they're the big giant talking robots that I think they are...mostly of the Decepticon variety, I'm sure as long as you don't cause too much trouble around them you'll be fine.

Though to be honest why anyone would wanna mess with that Megatron guy is beyond me.

[Soundwave too to be quite honest. Why is it the bigger these things get the more terrifying they are? Starscream though? REALLLLLLLY fun to annoy.]

[soapskating]

[ Discord smirks and gives her a golf-clap. ]

Bravo, good guess!

Eff-why-eye, he's boring to play tricks on. That is, he barely reacts - and where's the fun in that? I suppose he thinks he's above a little practical joke, but I'll get his goat sooner or later.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[She gives a nod.] Yeah, I remember dealing with Megatron in Ink City it was kinda...not good.

But hey at least someone up in my mun's headspace managed to have fun on that stupid warship thing of his. I don't think Megatron or the other Decepticons ever worked out how exactly a Pink pony managed to get herself up there and leave baskets of cupcakes for everyone.

[soapskating]

[ He loses it. ]

KKFPPFCH-- ah hahahaha! Did she, really-? Oh, now there's a pony who could get on his last nerve. I hope she did the Equestrian flag proud.

Meanwhile, all this Megatron does is wander around glaring at things, and Ultra Magnus stays well away from him. There's no fun to be had there. Although I believe Megatron is headed to heyfreemagic next month. I'm quite jealous that he's the one who gets to wreak havoc.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well if you're ever up to it Discord, My mun and me I guess would be happy to play with you.

You do happen to be her "best pony" afterall.
