Alright, this sounds utterly stupid, I know, but... I've made a deal with Discord. WAIT! DON'T LEAVE YET! I... I didn't want to... much. Alright, I was just too scared to tell him "no". He wants to play a game... help?
...
The rules?
Oh, from now on, every time I fall asleep in the human world, I get transported to Equestria, into a new body. I can stay as long as I don't give up, even until I die apparently! If I do, I get sent back to our world. Discord, being so bored in his statue, will influence my fate while I'm in Equestria. The game will only last ten rounds, at most.
...I'm doomed.
Chapters (13)
You have my attention. I look forward for more. Love how you're writing D., by the way.
Kind of reminds me of that one movie where a guy sells his soul to the devil for x number of wishes. He communicates with the devil through a pager. Anyone know the movie I'm talking about?
1819538 Bedazzled? Yeah, now that you mention it, the plot is indeed similar to that of the movie, at least the basic premise.
1819037 Thanks, Discord's such an impressive villain. I really hope I'll do him justice.
1821068
Sorry, that first thing wasn't even a real comment. I like what you're doing and this could be taken in some interesting directions. Looking forward to more.
1824298 Haha, don't worry. It was a proper comment. I happen to like that movie. Also, I'm working on this, so it shouldn't be too long until I publish another chapter. Hopefully, it will take a direction you'll find interesting.
Honestly, he should have thought twice before insulting a god, but he doesn't seem very smart.
Prediction for a future chapter: Discord launches him into the body of a stallion on his honey moon.
or
Discord launches him into a body of a MARE on her honeymoon.
I'm having too much fun with this.
1834009 Yes, he should have, but Discord's just too chit-chatty. Plus, he's not "stupid" per say, he just doesn't think ahead. (Does that count as stupid? It sounds like it does...)
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!!!! You met DISCORD!? I would've made FRIENDS with him! The guy's a crack-up! Why would you be intimidated by him!? I WANNA MEET HIM! Think of all the FUN we could have! Dude, really, I can't believe you met the God of Chaos and you were SCARED!? Why can't I hang with him but YOU do!? Jerk...
Besides, you INSULTED him! I'd have offered a drink and a snack, unless he wanted to provide his own, who knows, who cares!?
CHAOS = FUN!
1836974 It's the goatee! I swear it's only the goatee! They scaaaaaaare me! I panicked! I didn't know what I was thinking! Plus I was all out of popcorn and cream cheese!
And why do you ask me why I can hang out with him? I don't want to! He's the one that came to me! In fact, I strongly suspect it's only because I don't like him that he hangs out with me. You should stop liking him if you want to meet him so bad.
1837036 What? Who could hate such a magnificent bastard? ... besides you of course. Seriously, what's wrong with him? He just wants to have fun! He's not a villain he's an antagonist. In fact the only reason he messed with the mane 6 is because they were trying to stop him. If they ignored him he'd have left them alone. Besides, he even plays fair! He didn't HAVE to give them their wings and horns back, but he did because he said he would. He never actually lied once.
1837054 It's hard to ignore your whole world going bunker.
He also messed with Granny Smith and Big Mac, the former of which I seriously doubt could have done anything at all to stop him. He did not need to steal their wings and horn in the first place either. Since he's so powerful, they obviously weren't a threat. The Elements weren't even in the labyrinth. How is tricking ponies into a unwinnable scenario "playing fair"?
He also said ponies were laughing AT Pinkie Pie when we all know it's not true!
And there is such a thing as lying by omission.
So... how is Discord not a bad guy?
1837172 He mentioned a possibility, and when Pinkie denied it, he said "Oh, really?" making HER doubt her friends, he only caused her to think differently, so although he MISLEAD her he did not LIE.
And I can explain Applejack's encounter as not lying.
And if you notice, he was just causing chaos with the Apple Family, when I said 'messed with' I meant 'drastically changed their personalities to a point of them being useless to stop him.' so he didn't play TOTALLY fair, but he didn't do as much harm as he could have, he gave the mane 6 a chance to win even though he could have easily KILLED them with a thought.
“Hum…” How to turn him down without being horribly punished? I had read the Pony POV Series, Epilogue included (and I gave myself a stupidity prize for it now that I was talking to the draconequus in person).
I don't quite get what the character is saying.
1847251 Mostly that he didn't want to piss off Discord, especially after reading your fanfic? And that being in front of Discord with the events that take place within it in mind just makes it worse? That's all.
(Did I offend you? If I did, then you have my apologies. It certainly was not my intention. )
Awww you took my ramblings and made it a chapter.
or did you have this planned out already and i'm just a good guesser?
Anyway nice touch with the pony mafia XD
1874843 You're a good guesser. Really, I spent a good three minutes staring at your comment with my mouth open the first time I read it.
)
Man, I was so tempted to tell you how impressed I was, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise.
(oh, and thanks, the pony mafia is such an understimated tool
Alright let's see if I can make lightning strike twice.
The Protagonist wakes up to find himself in the middle of a high pressure sales pitch for an important company that he knows nothing about
Nope. Nice idea though.
There is one element you predicted right though and that will be rather important later.
HA! I was sort of right-ish. I guess this makes me a psychic or something
In all seriousness this is a great series with an interesting twist this chapter, keep it up
1880294 Awesome, I've got a somewhat psychic follower!
Okay, this is freaking hilarious. The quick-witted first person hunorous thinking style reminds me a lot of the Percy Jackson series. Even though it's been done a million times before, at no point did this feel generic.
Props to you. *tracks*
1896130 Thanks!
I'm trying to deconstruct and twist the 'human in Equestria' premise with this story, so hearing it's not feeling generic is really great! Hopefully, this will keep being your opinion until the very end.
Damn, this whole thing is going from bad to worse every time he falls asleep.
1899980 With Discord in control, was there really any other results? (dozens, I know. For example: the cake would not be a lie and they lived happily ever after, or he'd be a dancer in the Marehamas or something)
OK, this is hilarious
First human in Equestria story that I've read and is really good
Funny thing, later in my fic body swapping of kinda ish sorts happens as well.....
suspicious
I like emoticons!
1901342 Thanks! I'm really glad you like it. It's always a bit scary to write a fic with a tag that is generally not well-liked in the first place.
Oh? What's so suspicious about it
? And what is your fic about?
P.S. EVERYONE likes emoticons! Especially those that don't.
1901381
RD thinks last one is funny
Is called Going Rogue
It's mainly about the changling Twilight tackles and blasts during Canterlot Battle
Twi's Dispersion Spell makes him lose ability to Change
He (and several other Changlings) not evil and didn't want to follow Chrysalis
Chrysalis can Link with their minds and Control them to follow her every command without question (like she did to Shining Armor)
Twi's spell also removes the Link so frees him and he goes to thank her (after The Doctor comeos of course)
Also includes magical disguises, dual protagonists and story lines, under ground resistance forces, a look at the Changling City (Metamorphica), false identities, betrayal, battles, new sports, and Pinky of course providing genius answer to a problem
My god man. The shit hit the fan 2 chapters ago. Now it's just being sprayed over the lawn and driveway. Keep this up and it'll explode on the whole house.
1902707 Yeah, and it'd leave such a mess too. I'll be careful
Holy barrel of giant chicken nuggets I had a dream like this once, you have broken into my dreams and stolen a idea Inception but I don't care I,m favoriting dis story and I,m gonna read so mmmmm
The liker wuz here so your story has been liked
I'm impressed at the pace you have maintained, keep it up!
This is the first one he hasn't immediately cried uncle on.
I have to wonder, what happened to all the other ponies he mind-jacked. Did they suddenly black out only to find themselves in awkward situations? What happened to them?
1906452 Yes, I totally have the power to walk into your dreams. I AM LUNA!
Though, seriously, I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the favorite.
1906535 I am fairly certain I will be able to keep it up. *workaholic AJ mode GO!*
It's impressive that he hasn't given up yet, don't you think? Shows how much more serious he is about wishing to leave his human life behind...
Ah, yes, that. It will be answered later on, don't worry. By the way, don't you find it scary that he didn't ask himself those questions?
1906616 Omy cheese wheel dipped in hotsauce doing summursalts on my face you replied to my comment I can die peacefully
namrednelS
1906714 ...why wouldn't I? And please don't die. That's one less nice reader for me!
By the way, love that expletive. I will try to find a way to fit it in the fic. Is that fine with you?
1906737 Do whatever you want with my words well almost whatever you want
I,m one of those vamps that give out ideas for theirs storys so it can help them
He didn't cry uncle, even after being covered in slugs?

1907364 His brain locked on the word "slug" while it was important. So this time around, his thoughtlessness saved him. Nice change of pace, right?
P.S. Can't see what you're linking to.
1907389Seriously? 'Cause it shows up for me. Huh. Let me find another.

Try those. Same pic.
1907411 Ahhhh, much better! *sees the pic* ...Relatively speaking...
1907416Hey, I find that guy's face to be hilarious. Especially when put into a gif like so
25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llqgf6TK3Q1qzmowao1_400.gif
I freaking loved this chapter, can I just say that? It was nice for this poor character to get a break from his terrible, terrible misfortunes...even if in the end it had to be taken away from him
Maybe he can come back to Ponyville sometime and meet the rest of the Mane 6, yus? preeze? :3
1912706 Of course you can say you loved it! I love that you loved it!
He had to get a little reprise from all the misfortunes... just a small one. Besides, if it's not taken away, then it's too easy.
As for a possible comeback? That remains to be seen...
GOD DAMMIT PINKIE!
1912752
I didn't do it on purpose?
... or did I?
1912768Pinkie didn't. YOU did.
And he was finally in Ponyville!
1912853 I'm confused...
1912888Pinkie didn't. YOU, the author, did.
1912895 You know, that
emoticon is starting to make me uncomfortable... *slowly back away*
...I blame Curly Fries
Shit I'M pissed, can't this guy catch a break?!
