Thoughts of an annoyed, overly-agitated displacer merchant

by TechnoNerd


I wrote part of this on a phone!

I watched another gaggle of pones pass passively past my perfect platform of products. Seems like today's gonna be another slow day, from the looks of it.

I wonder how well the lawnmower I fixed before is doing?


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--"


Eh, it's probably doing just fine. I think today I'll send some numbskulls to my world instead. Give 'em a good ol' one-two punch of reality to the face.

In fact, I think I see a customer right now!

"Um... excuse me, mister, do you know where the bathroom is?"

Oh. Figures. Guess that's just what happens when you set up shop in a stuffy convention.

"Go past the pretzel stand and it'll be to the right," I pointed a hoof. "Theres a big Celestia statue carving exhibit thing next to the pretzel stand. You cant miss it."

"Thank you!"

I watched the young mare carry on her way before I felt a sinister presence loom over me.

"Bröther, may I have some lööps?"

Oh. Just a meme cosplayer I think.

I looked up, my eyes locking onto the beady red dots in the living shadow standing in front of me. Guess things won't be so boring today after all.

"Aight, whaddya want?" I opened a display case. "I've got amulets, jewels, swords-- the works. Pick your merch and I'll name you a price."

"I wish for a replica alicorn amulet," the... memelord shadow being gurgled in front of me. "My brömthers wish to roleplay their rise to godly supremacy. They are..." it paused for a moment, contemplating. "...challenged in their view of reality."

,Well, guess it's better to not shoot the messenger, I suppose.

"Five bits."

Five actual bits dropped onto the table. Wow, I actually didn't get scammed for once!

"I wish upon myself luck that this shall satisfy their strange cravings. We are a lööp-only household."

I have no idea what they're saying anymore.


"BY THE MIGHT OF THE ALICORNS INCARNATE, I SUMMON MYSELF!" Another shadowy being roared, slamming a cardboard cutout alicorn amulet onto the hot wheels racetrack. "WITH THIS POWER, I SHALL RECREATE THE UNIVERSE IN MY OWN IMAGE."

A second shadow being gurgled up from the floor. "YES, BRÖTHER. WE SHALL ASCEND."

The replica alicorn amulet hit both of then on the head. Or at least, whatever semblance of a head that they have.

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE--"

"Amulət, bromther. I have spent our crūmbs on your petty trinket."

"Yussssssssss."

A bright light suddenly burst from the amulet and swallowed the two others. The final shadow being blinked.

"More lööps for meh."


Thhe shadowy mist concealing the two ponies dissipated as they traveled. They felt themselves morph into something that was not a pony.

"Taxes." One of them deadpanned, looking at his new hands. "We must pay taxes."

The other one laughed, clutching the alicorn amulet. "Haha, I have no idea what we're doing anymore!"

And so nothing special in particular happened again to the two memelord ponies sent to the human world. The end.
