//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 Part 6 // Story: Magical Medicine // by yellowbastion //------------------------------// You are the last of your kind, the seventh son of the second sun, the Everchanging One, the Lord of Chaos, the Ketchup King, but your friends, and more importantly Fluttershy, call you Discord. You are relaxing in your favorite tweed reclining lounge chair, in your lodge pole pine log cabin, in the very center of your chaos pocket dimension. Second star on the left, straight on until morning. It’s difficult to find but hard to miss. On your lap is a large avocado shaped green ceramic bowl filled with chocolate-covered caramel popcorn. When the fancy strikes you, you use your left claw to toss a popcorn cluster high into the air to snatch it with your forked tongue. Despite them being caramel and chocolate, every single starchy puff has a different flavour. Your mouth still tastes of jalapeño and dill pickle from the last one. In your right paw is a smallish rectangle covered in several even smaller rectangles. The origin of the plastic device and how it woks is irrelevant but its function is all that is important to you right now. You point the electronic clicker at a clever device in front of you and press one of the buttons. The flickering, animated picture it was displaying changes to something else, to something new. Right now, the moving picture on the device is showing you… You, The Lord of Chaos, relaxing in a tweed lounge chair, in your lodge pole pine log cabin, in a pocket dimension. On your lap sits a large avocado green ceramic bowl filled with chocolate-covered popcorn. In your right paw is a smallish rectangle covered in even smaller rectangles which you are pointing at a box displaying moving pictures, of which is showing… You, relaxing in a lounge chair, in your log cabin, in a pocket dimension. On your lap sits a large green ceramic bowl filled with popcorn. In your right paw is a rectangle covered in smaller rectangles which you are point at a box displaying moving pictures, of which is showing… You, relaxing in a chair, in your cabin, at home. On your lap is a green bowl filled with popcorn. In your right paw is a rectangle covered in rectangles which you point at a box displaying moving pictures, of which is showing… You in a chair, in your home. On your lap is a bowl filled with popcorn. In your paw is a rectangle covered in rectangles which you point at a box displaying moving pictures, of which is showing… You in a chair at home with a bowl of popcorn. In your paw is a remote control for which you point at a box displaying pictures, of which is showing… You at home with a bowl of popcorn. In your paw is a remote control which you point at a television, of which is showing… You at home pointing a remote control at a television, of which is showing… You pointing a remote at a television, of which is showing… You pointing at a television, of which is showing… You and a television, of which is showing… You on a television, which is showing… You on television, which is showing… Did that one wave a claw at you? It was becoming hard to tell as the picture seemed to stretch into infinity becoming smaller and more distorted each time. Discord, watching Discord, watching Discord, watching Discord. Turtles all the way down. It was making your head spin, both literally and figuratively. You pressing a button on the rectangle in your paw causing the picture to change again. Ah, here we go. It’s back to what you were watching before. Your story already in progress.
