Forget not that I am a derp.
As he reclaimed his rightful throne, Discord banished anypony who could stop him to a dimensional backwater. His victory was all but assured... but that's what he'd thought last time. This time around, he included a little insurance. Now one Stanley Baxter must struggle against the machinations of a mad god, the caprice of chaos magic, and the increasing instability of his her his own mind.

FUCK. Someone beat me to the punch on this.
I was gonna do a Screwball sidestory.
Oh well.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Hi,
Noticed your screwball story.
Very good so far.
I assume he banished my Original characters Zephyr the Pegasus and Little Horn the Unicorn, as well as the Cutie Mark Crusaders just to make the Mane 6 mad.
People who are thumbing this down clearly aren't reading it.
For the plot impacts of the character Screwball, I'd like to see it written by the original author. Her role in the story, be it sidekick to the devil, reluctant pawn, or turncoat key to the ponies' victory, is something that should be decided by the person responsible for the original story.
That being said, though, your writing style is perfect for the character.
2902022 I'm in the same boat as you, skeeter.
Good introduction...
I will continue
Please, continue!!!
I WANT MOAR!!1!1!
I don't know all that much about the fic-universe you're writing in, but Screwball is one of my favorite background ponies and this looks pretty interesting.
Also, I'm flattered that you saw fit to steal my chapter naming methods XD
I'm probably going to regret asking this (or maybe not, who can say?), but why molybdenum? Why not zinc or germanium? Or trilithium?
Is the alliteration a side-effect of whatever happened?
Dropped a quote (first error in the whole story! (that I found))
2902022 2903255
It's not like there aren't already duplicate Five Score stories. Heck, Discord might have thrown multiple Screwballs onto Earth!

It seems Five Score is the new Conversion Bureau in terms of automatic downvotes.
Thanks for the compliment.

Well, once I noticed that I'd inadvertently named the first two chapters after songs, I decided to run with it. Also, Discord's introduction covers the basics of the setting fairly comprehensively.

Molybdenum, in my opinion, has just the right balance of obscurity, sounding funny, and the solidity needed for a suitably oppressive fist.
And the alliteration is indeed a symptom of increasing chaotic influence and worsening whimsy control. It's like impulse control, but sillier.
2903471 Five Score, Divided by 4 is written by Twisted Spectrum.
Basically, Discord did a face-heel turn and betrayed the Mane 6, Spike, Celestia and Luna, and the rest of the ponies in Ponyville, Cloudsdale, and Canterlot, as well as in Appleoosa and the other places that are in the show.
The humans who become ponies gain a cutie mark on their 25th birthday. Within a 3-4 days period, changes occur that cause the human to become the pony they were originally.
Twisted Spectrum has the Mane 6, Big McIntosh, and Shining Armor. The rest of us writers can select a pony from the show or make up your own story using original characters.
The cutie mark crusaders skip the cutie mark and end up with the other changes, like fur, hooves, ears, and a tail. The mane/coat color of their pony comes in and there are gender changes involved. Male humans can end up as female ponies, and female humans can end up as either male ponies or female ponies.
Finally an update.
I thought you died
The observer is a mad poet. Sheer beauty, really.
This whole tale is eerily akin to the interactions between a few people that I know and myself.
Molybdenum(Mo) is the third element of harmony, hydragen(H) argon(Ar) molybdenum(Mo) nitrogen(N) and yttrium(Y). HArMoNY, I read that some were(over the rainbow)
Chaos is nothing but unorganized buity
Weird al is AWSOME
Reply to my coment when there are more than five chapters.
I know you said not to worry about timeline sync, but the two decades bit is completely erroneous.
the show did not occur at the same time as the events it depicted, it occured years after, thanks to Twilight remembering without remembering. of course, nothing is said that explicitly states that Discord didn't send them back for grins, except that the curse did not contain any elements of time travel. also, that would be a lot of work for a five year stint of freedom.
eh, it's a minor thing, but I'm fairly certain of it.

Discord as Belkar Bitterleaf? Hmmm...
It certainly have something in it...
Let's see...

But who's the rest of the Order?

Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that as the size of an explosion increases without bound, the number of friendship problems it cannot solve approaches zero.
Your faithful student,
V-light Sparkle.
Also...
Applejack is clearly Roy, given their shared focus on integrity, family, and vow-keeping. And dead parents.
Fluttershy fits as Durkon, both serving healing roles and displaying an incredible capacity for self-sacrifice. Not sure how the vampirism factors in, though...
Rarity is, of course, Haley. Because diamonds. Though Rarity's build is much more focused on diplomancy.
And Rainbow Dash is Celia, because if ever there was an air elemental in a pegasus's body, it is her. I am fully aware of the implied Appledash.
Do she is still a he now right?
Will there be dragons?
And at last I got back to reading this! I look forward to seeing when the transformation completes itself and what sort of power Screwball may have.
i dont know if your going to continue this story or not but my 5 score story has a draconequus as one of the afflicted and i want to know if you would like to collaborate a chapter. the title of my story is "Draconequus at Large!" youve probably seen it on the group but if you want to help i would love to work with you.
by the way this story is amazing keep it up
2903919 Mo is the 42nd element on the periodic ta8le.
~Vriska Serket
Well, that was interesting. Too bad this story fell through, it had some fun ideas.
Is there any reason in particular this story got canceled?
What there is of it is quite good. 
(Now wishing there was a Screwball emote. Went with the next best thing.)

Quite simply, I fell off of the Five Score bandwagon. Stopped reading the main story, lost interest in continuing my contribution, and so forth. Not out of dislike; I eventually caught up and was glad I did. My focus just moved on to other ideas. Sorry.
6868536
Understandable. I've been bing-reading your work these past few days. I've yet to find one I don't like. I especially liked the unique take you went with on this story. Looking forward to more interesting things in your other works.
6868536
I have my own ideas for Screwball in this universe.
Such a shame you lost interest in this one- the story was funny, voice-y, and super compelling! Bravo on what you managed to write!
