Know your Mare

by overlord-flinx


Brilliant Verve

Know your-- OH FOR THE MAKER'S SAKE!

A bit disturbed by the sudden outburst, the black and red pegasus jerked at his back and furled his wings against his tall body.

Really...?

Who let this one in...?

The manager...

Seriously...?

We're letting THOSE in now...?

Now come on...

...give him a chance...

Here's his papers...

...Now be a good sport...

Alright alright...

Brilliant Verve--

Creative...

Cap'n...

Fine...

Brilliant Valve...

"It's Verve."

Not anymore it is...

...needs a mane cut...

"What're you on about? My mane isn't long."

Sure it's not...

...if you're Cousin It...

"Who?"

Watch a black and white show some time...

Brilliant Valve...

"Verve."

I wish you were a valve...

...could turn you off if you were...

"Clever... nit..."

...What did you just call me Cap'n...?

WOAH!

No Brit offs...

...Let's keep it clean...

...Pleb...

"Bloody, you want me to come up there?"

Bring it Red Riding Hood...!

Brilliant Valve...

"Verve...!"

...is smarter than Starswirl the Bearded...

"I have proven many of his theories wrong. So I--"

WRONG!

Starswirl was never wrong...

...You just weren't looking at them right...

"I certainly was. And I can--"

Tired...

Now you know...

Brilliant Valve...

"You never said my name right once... They don't even know my name, you bloody nits."

Oh...

Before he leaves...

...Can we test this fact on the list...?

...I think we have time...

"What fact?"

That you have a high threshold for pain...

"I wouldn't say it's--" the next words he spoke only came out as dry, heavy exhales of beaten breath while a large wooden mallet proceeded to bludgeon the pegasus against the stage floor. Every time he stood back up to retort, the hammer would fall back down swiftly, crushing him back against the stage.

See...?

Even these kind of characters can be entertaining...
