    How would a being like Discord want to be remembered after he's gone? Well, if you're curious, he did actually write a will. To the surprise of nobody, its contents are bizarre and mildly disturbing.

Rest in Chaos reading · 8:20pm Apr 1st, 2017

Rest in Chaos is a story that really seems to fire up the dramatic reading impulse for some reason. I think it's because it's short and sweet. Just Dodge! is also a dark comedy about Discord, with almost exactly as many views and likes, as well as way more comments, but it's also about six times the length. No wonder then, I suppose that Rest in Chaos has just received another dramatic reading. How many is that now? Four? Five?

This one comes to us from MelancholyIguana. I usually like to point out with each new reading how it's different from the previous ones, but this reading is very different. Specifically because it's actually not a 1:1 reading. MelancholyIguana doesn't just embellish with some sentences, but outright adds several minutes worth of extra content and jokes, including an intro and outro sequence which adds a metaplot wherein Discord himself is reading his will aloud for an audience. I like to think of this not so much as a reading of Rest in Chaos as an expansion of it. So if you ever wanted more from the story, then you'll get it here.

Thanks very much to MelancholyIguana for recording this, and also to Will-Owl-the-Wisp for making me aware of it (Yes, I did find it by searching for blogs tagged with my own name... sh-shut up).
