...You told him...
...Didn't you...?
No...
...It may have slipped...
Slip doesn't exist with you...!
What do you suppose we do now...?
I have no idea...
...
...
Why are you looking at me like that...?
...Distraction...?
No...
Quenny, come on...
No...!
...I'll do back up...
NO!
....I'll banish Cadance to the puppet dimension...?
...What were the lyrics again...?
THAT'S THE SPIRIT!
"You're gonna give me a pass... Right?"
"But of course, young Pipsqueak. I respect you greater by the act of pulling away rather than pushing foreword."
"Thanks princess..."
"...How are your cohorts?"
"Sure they're fine... Prob'ly found somethin' ta' pass their time."
"Most likely... Would you care to play a round of Metal Gear with me?"
"So long as it ain't Twin Snakes... Liquid makes me feel bad."
On the stage of Know Your Mare, Discord stood tall with a dull expression. He glanced about for a second before clearing his throat. "Mares and stallions... I regret to admit that our dear Blank will not be performing tonight... So for your entertainment, we have arranged a distraction." With a bowing gesture, Discord slithered off of stage; an unmistakable smirk across his mug. "Brought to you by the lyrical stylings of Ms. Queeny..."
"SNAKE IS CURRENTLY IN YOUR ABODE, HARLOTS!" Luna ignored Pip's presence as she began to mow down enemy targets in her game.
The lights dimmed on the stage slowly, while at the same time bringing a smaller stage out from the floor housing the Changeling Queen Chrysalis. Her expression was in quiet rage and only grew more so as the sound of drums and light piano work started to fill the room. "I hate my life..."
There's a fire going on, but the party's just begun...
So keep your focus looking at me tonight...
Her voice took to the same shamed tone that her face had, but she continued on none the less.
So the world's about to end, gonna party with my friends...
You don't have any friends...!
And ain't nobody gonna say it's not right...!
Chrysalis snapped with a flaring glance up into the host box.
And I know nothing's gonna stand in my--
Alright...!
ENOUGH!
The music cut off with a sharp scratch as Chrysalis stomped her hooves into the stage. "This is ridiculousness! NOPONY WANTS TO HEAR ME SING THIS SONG!"
Awww...
...But you were doing so well...
"I'm out of here!" her wings furrowing and buzzing in rage, the queen stepped off of the stage.
...One of these days I'll get a full song sung on this show...
...Some day...
