Day One Oh One

Somewhere in the skies above Tehran, Iran.

The new chaos capital of the world.

---

I don’t know what to say... I think I’ve finally gone mad.

After our game of Jenga Discord asked about my kind’s current situation and then I told him about the war in Iran, Afterwards he teleported away, with me hot on his tail.

When I found him in the skies above Iran I also found some very weird form of anarchy.

The grass is blue, the sky is green, the clouds are made out of gravel and literally rain cats and dogs!

I’m not sure how this is supposed to help, unless his way of helping is driving everypony mad to the point of not caring about war.

But it appears it’s just making it worse as Iran was already filled with dementia, but I’m uncertain about if it’s possible to make an already demented country even more demented than this one.

"Explain how this is supposed to help?" I asked.

"A little chaos goes a long way, don't you think?"

I was not amused. "Explain how bringing more madness will make these ponies listen to reason?"

"To do what you suggest would be reforming them, and Twilight has already learned my opinion on using magic to do that."

I knew that you don't anger the trickster god, unless you want to die, so I did not reply and simply went to tell Twilight about this.

It took an hour, but I made it back to Atlanta and plopped myself out of the air vents, right on top of Derrick.

“Ow.” We both said simultaneously.

“What’s gotten you here in a hurry?”

“Discord is turning an entire country upside down!”

As soon as Twilight heard the words Discord and upside down, she immediately summoned a quill and some parchment wrote something down and then teleported it away. “Go to the portal and pick up my friend Fluttershy and bring her to Discord.”

I nodded. “Right!”

And so I was off.

Atlanta, Georgia

After Allen left I had a question for Twilight. “Who’s this Fluttershy?”

“One of my friends who is also the only one who can put a leash on the spirit of chaos.”

Afterwards she gave a short description of her friend and some stories about her.

“So she tamed Discord with a few harsh words?”

“Seems like it.”

After that we decided to start work again on the cure.

“Do you have some spell that can change one's species?”

Twilight shook her head. “I’d have to figure out how to do it without them transforming again, even if I did make such a spell, it would only let them be human for about three hours before the magic wears off, transformation spells aren't permanent.”

“Is there anyway to extend that time?”

“Yes but only by ten hours, to get anymore would require more magic than even legendary unicorns like Starswirl have.” She said. “Plus the more magic we put into the spell the harder it is to make it work without them returning to the form of a pony.”

“Hmm… What about modifying the spell so that our cells have Pestis.”

“Now thats something that I don’t think I can do without having a good enough understanding of cells and everything else, as it stands, I don’t understand it enough to make the spell, and you don’t have the understanding of magic to modify spellcraft.”

As it stands, neither of us can do it… “Unless we work together.”

“What do you-”

“Think about it, with my biology and your magic, we can create the cure spell.”

“But it still will only last for twelve hours at best!”

“That should be fine, I’m sure it will work.”

We will save humanity!

All possibly very dark jokes aside, I'm thinking of working on another project along side this one.

It's a crossover with what I call the greatest video game of all time.

Here's a hint that only fans of this game will be able to understand.

It is the year 2155.

And another.

Hold! What you are doing to us is wrong! Why do you do this thing?

Dark Horizons?

[gamer52599]

6024297 I think I'll actually be removing the dark tag since the story hasn't and doesn't seem to be getting any darker, this is a lighthearted little romp with a bit of darkness every now and then, with a greater purpose in the works.

If your guessing the game that I will crossover with mlp. I don't even know of any game series under that title.

[Ardent Dusk]

6024996 it takes place in 2155.. I googled it xD

[gamer52599]

6025008 Since giving the year is a bit too vague, I'll give you The Words.

Hold! What you are doing to us is wrong! Why do you do this thing?

[Ardent Dusk]

6025095 No clue.

[gamer52599]

6025135 It's kind of a cult classic. But I still call it the best video game of all time.

[Ardent Dusk]

6025174 Metro?

[gamer52599]

6025358 If you google The Words, you will find it.

[Ardent Dusk]

6025482 Star Control?

[gamer52599]

6025489 You got it! Best game of all time. Just don't mention the third game when I'm around and you should be fine.

[Ardent Dusk]

6025540 YES! SWEET SWEET VICTORY! NEVER HEARD OF THE GAME THOUGH!

[gamer52599]

6025597 I expected that, it's not a very well known game, just a fun one, scratch that, a very fun one, and it's to download since it's copyright has expired. Of course you will either need DOS or get the free open source version of the second game that works on modern computers.

As I said, in my opinion this game is the best game of all time, the second game has all the appeal of a RPG, without the negatives of a RPG thanks to the fact it's not a RPG.

Most of this love may just be nostalgia, but I still get the same enjoyment from this game now, as I did twelve years ago.

[TieID]

Oh,come on.Why cover image looks like corrupted S.C.P. Foundation logo with the virus inside?

[gamer52599]

6028725 The foundation is currently got it's hands tied with [DATA EXPUNGED].

[ferret]

... I leave for two days and come back to too much stuff to react to, hopefully I can make both of the main stories I'm working on will keep me from falling back on too much to handle in a few minutes.

[butterfield pancake]

Hmm knowing myself as a Canadian I'd likely be a crystal unicorn (hands for magic) I'd pick magic over hands

[butterfield pancake]

6025358 are you saying this story is connected to the newspaper called metro?

[Solarkness]

6084824 Stop lying. Viruses are [CLASSIFIED]. So, showed you!

[gamer52599]

6264182 alright, where to start.

It's going too fast to be funny. And it is not really constant, if everyone always would have the most unusual ideas (You cough? YOU HAVE TO BE INFECTED WITH A ZOMBIE VIRUS! RUUUUN!) the few would be understandable, but...

First off, the general consensus is I'm pretty funny, second, I can slow the tempo but comedy needs to be fast paced for maximum effect, at least thats what I learned from the school of Nostalgia Critic, and The MysteriousMrEnter.

The problem is, they are incredibly stupid at one point, and have impossibly (for the shown level of carefulness) much understanding for what they have to do in just the situation they are in.

... I think you missed a word in there, anyway yes, I threw a quick introduction together to ensure I would have an easier time making everything happen later, but for the comedy and story later, it's kept a good deal of people entertained.

Oh, and I think implying that Germany and Russia will kill them is pretty racist, just saying. I'm a German myself and wouldn't kill someone transforming aslong as he does not try to kill me. If you would set it to a time you know they would kill them, okay. But so far it has shown no signs of being around (for example) Hitler's time of reign.

Ok, so my only knowledge on Germany and Russia are from games and what I know from history, Skypony has already corrected me on this, so no harm done.

'virus is nonexistent'
I know you did that on purpose, but Discord... well, his magic doesn't go crazy unless he tells it to. It sounds like too hollow an explanation, maybe another project of Twilight being stored in the same room because she has too many to store them in separate exploding and it was about the mirror, and other stuff that was in the room appearing elsewhere, okay.

'Discord won't help too much', unless Fluttershy asked him in a nice way. Which she would, because it is hurting other lifeforms.

As simple as that sounds, what I went for was a easy way to start the plot since i planned the entire virus spread and that's about it.

As for Flutters, well, let's say that she already scolded both of them and Twilight's already with a virologist.

Easy. You pick scenes which are the highlights, and you could have atleast the decency to be detailed there. If you wanted to write the highlights in as few words as possible, you could write:
Day 0:
Allen finds a broken vial of virus's in his room. It belonged to Twilight researching it, and Discord sent it accidentally to the wrong planet / universe. Allen contacts his friend who is a doctor, who calls two biologists who take in the virus and glass shards etc. etc.

ok, how detailed do you want, I can go Fallout: Equestria levels detailed if you want?

Please. If one of your strong points is characters, then show it! Tell us how your characters are, this way you basically waste your talent.

I no longer think that's specifically my strong point, my strong point is comedy.

Treat me like Dave Polsky, I have the same ups and downs as him.

[gamer52599]

6447643 It's unintentional.

The virus changing the immune system that is, it's caused by magic being incompatible with human cells.
