Great, another OctaScratch fic

by The Batmane of equestria


20 questions

The flying SUV soared through the clouds. Inside, the seven passengers had settled down, but an awkward silence hung prevalent above their heads.

"Ahem." Lyra broke the silence. The other six occupants turned to look at her. "Doctor, I have a question."

"Shoot." He said. Derpy ducked down and shouted "SNIPER!", scaring everyone except for The Doctor and Dregoborovic, who looked at each other before laughing at the stupidity of the other occupants.

"I meant for you to ask the question. Not that anyone was going to shoot." The Doctor said, sobering slightly.

The other five shared a collective "Oh" before Lyra continued.

"Anyway, Doc, if you're a billionaire here, doesn't that mean that The Doctor from this dimension is also a billionaire?" Everyone was keenly listening to the conversation now.

"Well, yes."

"How do your servants know who's who then?"

"Simple. I wear a pocket on the left of my shirt." The Doctor said, indicating to the pocket in question. "He wears one on the right."

"But... what?... I can't even..." Lyra stuttered, much to the humour of The Doctor.

"You needn't worry, Lyra. You'll learn to understand it given time." The silence lapsed over them once again.

This time, Vinyl broke the silence. "Now I have a question. Is Dregoborovic supposed to be this universe's equivalent to Discord?"

The Doctor rolled his eyes. "It took you long enough to figure out. I mean, come on. Red eyes, one large canine, chaos magic. That makes it pretty obvious."

Vinyl fell silent. Octavia was next to speak. "Okay, we really need something to do or we're gonna die of boredom long before Leoni's men get to us."

They collectively chuckled at that sentiment. Dregoborovic opened his hand and a pack of cards appeared out of seemingly nowhere. "Any of you play poker before?"

"Yes." Bonbon said. "I, too, have a question. If Dregoborovic here is the equivalent of Discord, then why does he have an Australian accent?"

"Because," Dregoborovic started in an Equestrian American accent, shocking everyone in the SUV. "Your 'Discord' has had well over 1000 years in Equestria to change his accent naturally to what it is now whereas I've only had a few years to do so. Australian is my natural accent but I can slip between the two." The other six occupants gave him blank stares. "What?" he said, reverting back to Australian.

"You know what? Never mind. Let's just play poker." The Doctor said.

"Fine by me." Bonbon said. Dregoborovic pressed a few buttons before him, making a table pull up out of nowhere and all of the seats turned to face it.

"We still have about 3 hours until we get to a safehouse, so I put it on autopilot. I'll deal." Dregoborovic said, still holding the cards.

"Ooh ooh, my turn my turn!" Derpy said, raising her hand.

"Uhh.... For what?" Vinyl asked.

"To ask a question, duh. Where did those cards come from?"

Dregoborovic smiled. "Easy, they were..."

The Doctor cut him off. "Created by his chaos magic!"

"No... They were up my sleeve. I don't leave the HQ without them. Now, I'm sure we would all like to play 20 questions but I just think we should play poker."

They all nodded in agreement and Dregoborovic shuffled the deck.
