Know your Mare

by overlord-flinx

Voice...

Know your mare, know your mare, know your—

Oh what’s the use…?

…I’ve been beaten by nearly five guests on this show…

…it’s happening far too frequently…

…I guess I should just…

…give this up…

…I lose…

No you don’t…

What…?

You haven’t lost just yet…

You haven’t seen how bad things have been going…

…I was beaten by a pony that got caught in a paper bag…

Yes…

…you did…

…but you’re not out of this game yet…

How do you mean…?

You have exhausted the main possibilities thus far…

…but if you want to win, you must strike at the legs…

…Go on…?

You’ll have your chance to go at those you’ve done before later…

…but first you must crush those that make them look good…

Make them look good…?

…Who…?

If you want a play to go bad…

…you dirty up the background…

…Hah…

…hah-hah-hah…

MWA-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAAAAAA!

While this dialogue between inanimate voices occurred, a stallion with a brown coat looked around confused. “Uh… can I go home now?”

Huh…?

Oh…

Yeah Doctor…

…we’ll call you back later…

“Right-o,” without another word he stepped out from the light to wait for his return on another date.

…MWA-HAH-HAH-HAH!

This…

…is going to be just…

Perfect…

Yay, it isn't over!

644653 Or... IS HE!!!

[SennenRyu]

I won't sit idly, no, I can't move at all!
I curse the name, the one behind it all!

[Shadowed Rainbow]

I'm voting that the other voice is Discord.
Or Chrysalis.

[Lickity_Split]

im am scared, so scared i actually pee'd a little

[MrSpartan]

Wait a minute...I think I know who the other voice is. It starts with C and sounds like hrysalis.

[Silent Breeze]

This day is going to be perfect,
The kind of day that I have dreamed since I was small...

[darkironpony]

Wohoo!

[LightShadow]

Chrysalis and Discord. I would like to see you do Chrysalis and Discord.

[Broneyofnoel]

Still waiting for to win

645077 It's basically a show where a man says 'facts' about the quest and gives them no chance to argue with it.

D I S C O R D
I'm howlin' at the moon.
And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon.

D I S C O R D

Whatever did we do
To make you take our world away?

D I S C O R D

I'm fine with changing status quo,
But not in letting go.
Now my world is being torn apart.
A terrible catastrophe,
Played by a symphony;
What a terrifying work of art!

I can't sit idly,
No I can't move at all.
I curse the name,
The one behind it all:

D I S C O R D
I'm howlin' at the moon.
And sleepin' in the middle of a summer afternoon.

D I S C O R D
Whatever did we do
To make you take our world away?

D I S C O R D
Are we your prey alone?
Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?

D I S C O R D
We won't take it anymore!
So take your tyranny away!

Such a great song.

[Leggy the brony]

Yay more on the way

[SennenRyu]

644681 I dunno. It seems too devious to be Chrysalis. I mean, yeah, her entire plan revolved around impersonating Cadance, but she's so bad at it. Anyone who had actually known Cadance and was the least bit observant would have seen through her disguise in a heartbeat, like Twilight actually did. She's not really good with the actual execution of her plans, is what I'm saying. No, this sounds more like Discord's MO, twisting a character until they're a mockery of their former self and a slave to chaos. It wouldn't be hard, either, as the narrator is already pretty twisted to begin with.

[Misharra]

647216 I look more at the line "This... ...is going to be just... Perfect..." with the green text (>implying), and I cannot help but think Chrysalis. It may not be, but those seem to be hints applied with a hammer. ^.^;

[SennenRyu]

648511 I don't see what you mean about that line directly implicating Chryssy. I've also seen Discord (and Lyra, for that matter) get green text in fics before, so that doesn't explicitly mean changeling, either. That, and there is, literally, nothing at all to gain from this from the point of view of a changeling. Chrysalis was evil and scheming, but it was all for the benefit of the hive, in order to steal more of the love they feed on, which this will not assist in at all. Discord doesn't need a motive, as the chaos is all he cares about, and once again, the twisting of a character matches up with what we've seen from him before, where a changeling would be more likely to kidnap and replace to make sure whatever nefarious scheme they have goes down how they want, and Chryssy has shown herself to be rather rusty at that sort of thing.

[Isopod]

Obviously Chryssy. Though I had really hoped it would be Discord until I saw the last line.

[overlord-flinx]

650214 Or is it...

[Isopod]

651995
Well, whether you decided to change it or not in the meantime is something I don't know.

I am so sure it is supposed to be her, so yeah... we'll see, I suppose.

[AccountDeleted]

650214
Same here! I thought Discord until the last line. But I'm still not sure...

[Fluttrick]

Wait, I think the red colored dialogue is the Master, Discord, Chrysalis, or Nighmare Moon

[p0nypanda]

I know I'm only this far, but the voice is either Discord, Chrysalis, or nightmare moon.
