It started when the phone rang.
I looked up from my desk and took my cellphone out of my hoodie pocket. I flicked it on and saw that I didn't recognize the number. I sighed and was about to put the phone down, but... eh, I figured that it might be a little important. I swiped the phone to answer and held it up to my ear with my shoulder as I returned to work.
"Hello?"
"Yes, hello, this is Legit Collector from the Equestrian Revenue service, and I am calling in regards to a recent lawsuit that has been brought up against you for failure to pay your income tax on time."
I rolled my eyes and uncapped my pen. I hated prank calls. "I don't have time for this, sir. I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me on this number again."
"Ma'am, I need you to listen to me very carefully. Our records show that you owe the ERS ten thousand, nine hundred and fifty-five bits and forty-two cents. Should--"
"I don't owe the IRS anything, sir, now if you could--"
"Ma'am, I must ask you to not interrupt me. Our records indicate that you have failed to pay your income tax for the years of two-thousand and fifteen to two-thousand and nineteen. If you do not resolve this matter, I will sign the warrant for your arrest, and we will seize all property, bank accounts, passports, and anything else we need to pay off your debt. Now, may I have your name, please?"
"It's Lauren Faust, now--"
"NOPE!"
SLAM!
I want to know how our lovable idiot got a call to work across this dimensional rift. I would love to see him try this on other Hasbro properties. Imagine him calling Cobra Commander, Duke, or any of the Whitwicky’s.

Well, this wouldn't be the first time he called another dimension.
He really needs something to cheer him up.
That cupcake behind him topped with a Discord Bit should do it?
Fucked with the Creator, boyo.
LC? the CDis in the mail.....expect it
Baited me with that Queen chapter title. Still funny regardless lol.
Ha! Yeah, I was kinda expecting another Queen, but this was a nice bonus! Could we have some more, please?

You want some lovebug doncha? :B

Oh! Oh! Him calling Swindle!

To be fair he already got Chrysalis in an earlier chapter.
Cue Legit curling into the fetal position, waiting for the righteous quill of the creatrix to scratch him out of existence.

True, true. Celestia talked to him twice. Chrysalis demands equal time, after all she's a Queen and therefore more important than a Princess. 😉
Ha!
I consider this to be cannon.

His phone is surprisingly magical.

Innit?
I remember someone predicting that he would eventually call the author... this isn't the author I think they were expecting, but it'll do
(please bear in mind, this comment was written immediately before reading chapter 29. Why have one meta-joke when you can have both of them? Nice!)
