When a protagonsit walks in a house
After a long day of helping out on odd jobs about ponyville, Chris settled in for the night. Curling up in his fresh sheets, he was finally ready to slip off to the land of dreams. Maybe he'd run into Luna, he liked talking with Luna.
CRASH
Chris's eyes shot open as the last echoes of something shattering bounced around the bedroom. Something had fallen over, and he'd probably forget it in the morning and hurt himself stepping on it if he didn't do something about it now. As he grumbled to himself, putting on his slippers and nightgown from Rarity, he heard a second crash. Was he being robbed? Chris dashed into the living room with a leftover wooden board from the house's construction as a makeshift bat. "Who's there?!" He cried out, pressing the magic crystal that illuminated the room in enchanted candlelight. There, standing among a few shattered ceramics, stood… "Discord?"
The long, snakelike figure of the town's resident draconequus slowly, ominously turned in the flickering shadows of the candles. He opened his mouth to speak, his fang glinting in the moonlight. Chris shuddered.
Then a small, glowing frog with bug wings appeared beside Discord, breaking the silence in an irritating, high-pitched voice. "Remember! You can press the A button to talk to NPC- eeeeeeeeeeeee-" it squealed as Discord flicked it away with a claw. Chris took notice during this that the draconequus was wearing a green, pointed hat.
"I do hate those annoying tutorial helpers, don't you? Oh well, I suppose it can't be helped. Good evening, Chris! I was just stopping by to stock up on coins." To emphasize, Discord picked up a clay pot and tossed it to the floor, spilling chocolate coins everywhere.
"Wait, why is my house suddenly filled with ceramic pots?" Chris questioned, noticing the sudden abundance of pottery in his living room.
"Oh, you know how these npc houses are, Chris. Full of lootable goodies!" Discord reached into the hall closet and pulled out a copper sword that definitely wasn't there before. "Ew, low level weapons." He tossed it to the side. "Now watch this." He stepped outside and closed the door.
Chris groaned. "Is that bargain-bin happy meal toy gone? Good, he makes my head hurt. Now I gotta clean up this mess before- huh?" As he reached down to pick up the first ceramic shards, they started to twitch and move. Suddenly, all the bits and pieces of broken pottery flew back into place, reassembling into complete pots that were shattered moments before. "Wait, what?"
The door flung open again, and Discord strode back in. This time, he paid Chris no mind and proceeded to systematically smash every pot, finding only a few sparse treasures. Seemingly irritated by this, he walked outside again, muttering "I don't know why I bother breaking every pot in every building. I have a golden triangle to find!" Chris angrily followed, confronting the mismatched creature on the porch.
"Discord! Will you stop messing around with your chaos powers in my living room and let me sleep? It's like three in the morning!"
Discord laughed, taking out a pocket watch from his ear. "Oh, is it that late? My watch is only showing a quarter past eggplant. Terribly sorry my boy, I was just having an adventure and I ended up making your house look absolutely breadful!"
"Don't you mean dreadful?"
"Nope," the chaos spirit replied with a smirk.
Chris took a half-second to process that before bolting to the front door, opening in and deciding that a room full of pottery would be preferable to any more of Discord's antics. Sadly, his wish was not granted. "Discord! My living room is FILLED with… is this banana nut bread? Ew! There's so much that I can't even get the door open!"
"I did tell you it was breadful."
"Fix it!"
"Oh, gladly!" Discord slapped a hat on Chris's head that had a giant exclamation point hovering above it. "There! That lets me know you have a quest for me. Now I just have to finish my 1,732 other quests and I can get to yours. I'll be back!" Laughing, Discord spiralled off into the night, his cackling laugh echoing on the breeze.
Chris groaned. "Friggin' protagonists. Maybe Fluttershy's animals can help eat all that damn bread… I HATE banana nut bread!"

…………………… (points a hand up) I like it...…………..
Nicely done. Just one thing...
I think you mean 'into' in that sentence
Great cute story! I'm digging your series so far. Keep it up!

Thank you! I have other stories as well, if you need other reads.
Are we sure Chris is an NPC and not a monster? Not liking Banana Bread... what a monster
I died horribly in Morrowind thanks to Dragon Quest training. Somehow the word steal didn’t register to me until after the fact.

To be fair I would be upset if someone desecrated banana bread by adding nuts.

You eat straight Banana Bread? You're sick. You need the nuts to add another texture or else you just have banana flavored mush that's harder to eat than a normal banana.
Who would eat banana bread with nuts!?

I can’t stand mixtures of texture. It took literal decades and actual medication before I could stand to eat bread without cutting the crust off. That said, I prefer bread to banana as far as texture goes, so I consume it in that form.

Chris is lowkey me here. But, thanks to my food allergies, I can't have anything from a bakery, so I get a pass.
I do enjoy stories that decide that they will do whatever they please!
Interesting.
Better question: Do I ever NOT?
Answer: No. I always check everywhere, and take everything not nailed down. Even if I can’t use it, I can sell it. Unless the game punishes you for stealing stuff that’s not yours, like Geneforge did.
