Discord

As the madness continued, Discord nonchalantly summoned a paddleball to play with and a hot dog to munch on. "Now THAT is unfortunate. MUAHAHAHA!" With a final cackle, Discord leapt into the air. "Thank you to all for participating in this event and for providing me hours of entertainment!" As he was about to fly off into who knows where, a leaf from the Poison Joke floated onto his nose. "...Oh dear." A large sneeze escaped him as he suddenly began disappearing and reappearing repeatedly and violently. "I knew I shouldn't have been using this in my teas!" As he got blown off course, he vanished once again for good this time.

Zooming his head right down towards Dynamo's face, Discord stated "Now, now, everyone is completely safe from harm! I was initially going to stop at just the animals but I just felt so compelled to be involved even more! What kind of a friend would I be if I didn't keep you all on your hooves, right?" He thwipped back onto his cloud and summoned a glass, making the cloud rain down inside it. "By the way, my jokes aren't funny? I'll tell you what's not funny, my cerulean friend. Nopony here offering ME water while I was out there in the scorching sun as you all were! Harrrrumph!" He drank from his glass before spitting the water back out. "Ah! Hot!" After finishing, Discord heard @Shiny Silvermoon's answer and smirked at her, disappearing and reappearing directly in front of her, inches away. "A... Prank, you say? That is your final answer?" His eyes glimmered with excitement before pulling out a trumpet and blowing a fanfare. "Well, looks like we have a winner! I'm more than happy to give you that one, er... Shining Sliversun, was it? Eh, close enough. Oh, I'd better get into the spirit of things real quick!" He snapped his fingers and was now in a white wedding dress holding the large bouquet of suspiciously large and blue flowers, before tossing it over his shoulder into the crowd of racers. "And because you all did so wonderfully...!" He snapped his fingers yet again, summoning @Ice Princess Silky <3 and @Sir Hugsalot Vibrant back into the fray... From the sky. As they fall, Discord moved a large bucket of water beneath them so as to catch them. "Oh, and by the way, be careful with those flowers! I hear they have some... Funny side effects." He cackled gleefully and spun around in the air.

Discord stood there and smiled a very shocked smile, his eye twitching. "Well, somepony's quite observant, aren't they? However, I hesitate to inform you that the question continues to remain unansweeered! Oh, will nopony receive this marvelous gift?" He said dramatically while leaning back, a hand over his eyes.

Discord dropped his smug smile at the request and promptly vanished off the top of @Starlight Glimmer, back into the fray. "Who, indeed? Well, since none of you were appreciative enough of my assistance during the race, I think I have the right not to give you the satisfaction of an answer!" He said with a huff before smirking again, stroking his miniature beard and pondering to himself. "Although, I do suppose that could work as well..." Discord suddenly floated into the air, summoning a cloud with which he could lay atop of. "To all my little winning ponies, I will gladly give you the answer... If any of you are able to solve a little teensy weensy equation~! And whoever does so will receive a free gift!" Discord snapped his fingers and summoned a VERY large bouquet of flowers. "Then, you will not only have our two missing racers but ALSO a new scent for your homes as thanks for participating in these games!" With a bow, Discord observed all the ponies who had made it across the finish line, taking particular note of @Dynamo Pad and @Shiny Silvermoon, waving at them. He turned to @Valynne Chatterbox and tapped her on the head. "Be sure to record this, won't you? And I demand an interview later for my slot on 6000 Minutes!" Summoning a microphone into his hand, Discord announced, "Now then! If I have 5 apples and take away 3... What is it that is funny to one, frightening to another, and is always silky and blue?" Out of nowhere, a stopwatch floated upwards and began ticking away.

"Curious, isn't it?" Atop the parked balloon sat the draconequus himself, chuckling and slithering down to the bottom. "Questions, questions, questions," he said while shaking his head. "It tickles my heart with glee seeing you rack your brain, my dear Starlight." With a flash of light, he suddenly appeared in the middle of the ponies who had finished the race, handing out flyers to each of them which read in large, crudely drawn letters: Congrats, ya made it without a hitch! - Your forever pal, Discord Slinking up to @Starlight Glimmer and Trixie, patting their heads, he proclaimed, "I did indeed have a lot of fun spectating and toootally not getting involved with any of the wacky shenanigans you all experienced! However, I can't help but notice..." He let out a mock gasp and narrowed his eyes, "That there's two who haven't shown up yet!" He giggled before vanishing again and this time appearing on Starlight's back, inexplicably dressed as a cowboy and putting on an accent. "Ooooh, that stings more than the copperhead who got into ma crops, boy golly!" He let out a laugh before lounging back, still on top of the unicorn.

Discord’s smile slowly grew from ear to ear of his handiwork. Seeing Shiny with her trail of snow caused him to snap his fingers, while a scarf was draped around his neck. “Oh, I sure do wish I brought my ice skates. Then we could really try and break the ice. Being able to spread some chaos around here and there is why I love this snow much.” Discord cackled, grabbing his sides as he was in a fit of giggles. “I’m so glad that somepony else has a good sense of humor. I just love a good pun. They’re always so funny, or should I say, punny?” Discord winked, his eyebrow removing itself from his face as it moved up and down higher and higher. Realizing what had transpired, he conjured up a rope, before lassoing the eyebrow back to where it belonged. As he looked at the chair, before him, he began to think of what Fluttershy would want. Even though he was having his fun, he knew the race had to continue. “As much of this is fun and all, I’m afraid this is where the fun shall end. Well…fun for me that is. As the old saying goes, the show must go on!” Discord exclaimed, snapping his fingers to stop time and forcing everyone to come to a standstill. “Time out!” He held his arms up as it day scream time out to everyone. There we go! Oh, I’ve always wanted to do that! Now to tie up some loose ends. Got to add my creative, chaotic flare, after all.” He dashed ahead of the pack, before pulling out a paintbrush, canvas, easel, and paint smock. Holding up a thumb as it disconnected from his paw, the draconequus got to work on the painting. “Just need to add a couple of golden brown, oranges and yellows and a luscious blue background. The trick is to use a blend of colors together to make the whole painting come to life.” With each stroke of the brush, it looked like his painting was coming to life. “And…voila~!” As his thumb reattached itself to his paw, he stopped to marvel at his work. What he painted was an exact replica of the race course, as well as the sign and the barrel of fallen apples on the ground ahead. The only difference was that instead of a sign that had multiple arrows, there were only two arrows to choose from. Along with the path being split into two. The sign’s writing included more to it. Shortcut to Sweet Apple Acres! Test your agility to the left or test you jumping to the right. “You’ve got to hand it to yourself, Discord. You’ve truly outdone yourself this time! Why, this should be in an art museum to be marveled at! Hmmm…perhaps another time. Now for the finishing touches. A-A-A-Achoo!” Discord started, feeling a sneeze coming as he huffed, puffed and blew the painting down. Causing all the contents of the painting to spill out from the canvas to the course ahead of the racers. If they noticed, it was as if they had been brought back to the earlier sign, but not realizing that the course itself was altered by Discord’s influence. “I guess it’s time for me to take my leave, but there’s one or two more things I should do.” He smirked playfully, floating up to the balloon that Starlight and Trixie located. He pulled a fishing rod out of thin air as he sat back down in his comfy chair. Donning a hat, he reeled back his fishing line, before casting it into the horizon. Narrowing his eyes slightly, the draconequus waited for a bite, before his line began to tug. “Aha! Now I’ve got you!” Discord exclaimed, turning the line as his bite soon appeared. It looked like the sun was fighting back from being raised, but Discord would not be denied. “It’s a big one folks! Looks like I’ve got the catch of the day! Woohoo!!!!” Discord cheered, pulling the sun up into place. At the same time, the Cold Moon was being lowered as a result. The sky brightened as any and all effects of the Cold Moon would dissipate. With a sigh and a wipe of his brow, the chair and fisherman hat were teleported away. “There we are! Everything looks like it’s back into place! The snow is something that won’t go away right away, buuuuuuuut…that’s something that I don’t think is something to worry about. Now, then. What to do with the sleeping unicorn. A bucket of water would be the quickest way to wake her up, but that’s too cliche. Oh! I have an idea~! Snapping his fingers once more, a bucket of chocolate milk was conjured up from out of thin air. “I got two orders of chocolate milk for Starlight Glimmer and her best friend, Trixie! Courtesy of your friend, Discord, the master of chaos! Hope you both enjoy and I hope you like chocolate flavored cinnamon nuts! Tata~! Time in!” With a bow, he snapped his fingers one last time as he disappeared without a trace. Time starting back up once again for the racers. OOC: Welcome, everyone! The time has come for the second obstacle to take place! If you haven’t made your roll yet, please do them now. Your next day post will find you heading down the path to your next obstacle! What will this obstacle be? Time will soon tell.

Intrigued by the outcomes of everything so far, Discord drew back his head and chuckled like a child receiving a new toy. However, he knew he could do far better. He took note of every pony's position in the race and waltzed around their frozen bodies. Of particular note was @Shiny Silvermoon. Her powers would prove most entertaining in this race. When Discord was done, he smirked and glanced up at the sky, rubbing his hands together and licking his lips. "Normally, this would get anyone disqualified from such an event. Unfortunately, I pride myself upon being a saboteur! This is going to be just like that time I screwed up that Superbowl game. Ahhhh, good times~" He wiped a tear from his eye and snapped his fingers, lowering the sun entirely and only retaining the moon. However, this particular moon suspended was no ordinary one. Using his powers to bend reality, he shaped it into what was known as a Cold Moon. Oh, the fun that would come of this! "Perfect! Now, to make a quick pitstop!" He announced to himself as he sped off in a cloud of dust to the sign @Starlight Glimmer had revealed to everyone. Shortcut to Sweet Apple Acres. huh? What would be the fun in ending this early? With the snap of his fingers, Discord summoned multiple signs pointing in different directions, all reading the same thing. North, south, east, west, backwards, forwards, shortways and longways, every which way he could think of, before disappearing and landing inside Starlight's hot air balloon. "Oh my dear, sweet unicorn. You're looking a little tongue tied there! Frozen with delight, I see. Allow me to help you recuperate." A second passed before Starlight was now on the floor of the balloon, fast asleep. "Ta-ta, mon ami!" With an insanity-filled laugh, Discord vanished from the area.

The corner of Discord's lips turn upward in a slow, complacent smirk. The moment seems suspended in time as every pony seems to freeze on the spot. "I think... that is not enough fun for my little fillies here." And his menacing cackle would erupt in a sinister echo that was heard throughout the entire race. (OOC) Happy Thanksgiving, my little ponies! We hope that you are enjoying your character's adventure in this roleplay here. As the Events Team are on holiday with their family, we highly encourage this break to be a moment where you can think about your family, friends, community, pet, etc or anything that you can be grateful for as this year comes to a gentle closing. The thread shall be closed for the time being as Discord has "locked" it under intermission. Take this time to write down your pony's reaction somewhere to copy and paste, then roll a dice to add to that result or leave as is. Thank you for being part of this roleplay and part of the adventures of this community! /)

Another day, another glorious thing ruined. Discord laid back in his chair, suspended 50 feet above the ground and sipping his tea, as he witnessed the sweet little participants of the Running of the Leaves ceremony. Unbeknownst to them, he had been observing their efforts since the race commenced, particularly the luck of @Wizard. And boy howdy, was he waiting for an opportunity such as this. "Run, run, run, little ponies~!" he chuckled to himself, raising his claw in the air, as clouds began to swirl around within the sky, flickering the sun's light on and off. "Such a dull affair when there's no fun. And the bonding that's occurring! Ohoho my, that won't do. I'm sure nopony would mind if I spiced some things up!" Using his powers, Discord snapped his fingers with a wicked smirk, causing the sun and moon to pop in and out repeatedly within 5 seconds of each other. Lowering his hand towards the ground, he snapped his fingers a second time, and leaned down to listen to the sweet sound of rapid footsteps rushing down the trail towards @Wizard. A swarm of crazed rabbits, all stampeding in a ball of fluffy, white anarchy, were heading directly their way. What fun it would be to see how this would be dealt with, along with the rapid jumps between day and night! And Discord revelled in it. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAGH! Now THIS is entertainment!" He flailed wildly in his chair and quickly summoned a tape recorder to preserve for later.

You mean EX, with a capital E and X! *chocking as she grab his neck and proof away from her grip* One thing I know for sure that remain unchanged about you is that you can really ‘clingy’. But sorry, you just lost your chance with this handsome draconequus! That can be rearranged. *He snapped his finger and proof turned Cosmos into a size of a mouse* Stick and stone may break my bone but little cosmos just got own!

Hah! I rather be still as a statue than seeing my looney ex again!

Oh dear Celestia noo! Not YOU! *Discord’s ex*

Discord smiled and made a tie appear around his neck. "I plan to form a movement simply called The Cult of Discord! Everypony is welcome to come join my club and follow me into a future filled with anarchy!" He stopped his little speech when he heard Shiny's words. "Excuse me? It's been WHAT?!" He facepalmed and groaned in irritation. "Ponies can't be using something with power that great! It should be in MY hands alone! At least I'm competent with tools such as that!"

"I'm glad to see SOMEONE here appreciates my talents! If you weren't so pushy about your little reporting habits, I'd consider making you my protege." He gasped! "I should start my own movement!"

Taken aback by the sudden sternness in her voice, Discord let the toad fly away and stared. "Well, there's no need to get all stuck up about it! Honestly, some people these days have no sense of humour in their bodies." He materialised a toothpick and began playing with it. "Now, about this artefact, my curiosity has been most piqued. Am I mistaken about hearing about some sort of division going on involving teams?"

With a little smirk, he replied "You see? A little dash of disorder is never out of line!" He summoned one of the toads towards him and stroked its head in his lap like a cat. "I bet you wish I wasn't leashed right now, eh?"

Discord let out a low growl before resigning himself. "Fine! Fine, fine, fine. I solemnly swear on my darling friend that I will not, under any circumstances, do anything that will harm another! ...With the only circumstance being that they annoy me enough because it would be their own fault," he muttered under his breath. "Now, I overheard you little equines talking about some sort of... artefact?"

"Gah- No! You can't do that! Fluttershy, as my friend, you have to let me spread my wings a little bit! I-I mean, YOU'RE NOT-" he stopped and stared off in defeat. "You got me. You must know her very well." Immediately, he sat down in disappointment and crossed his arms in a huff. "Yes, it even started a brand new phrase: "When frogs fly". I think it has quite a nice ring to it, don't you think?" Behind @Shiny Silvermoon's back, he snapped his fingers towards a group of toads hopping nearby, causing bat wings to spread out.

Discord swiftly turned and booped the little pony's nose rather firmly. "And who might YOU be? Did I ask for you to interrupt my airtime?" He swiped the foil hat off of her and slapped it onto his own head. "The hecklers! Always trying to censor my stories! It's a conspiracy, I tell you!" He removed it and flung it right off like a discus. "Anyway, my dearest Fluttershy wouldn't mind if I spruced things up a little around here."

Discord smirked and turned to find the little unicorn staring right up at him. "Well, well, well! If it isn't the nosy little stickybeak who came snooping around while I was BUSY trying to experiment on some frogs a few months back. What a pleasure to see you again, my dear. Did you want to press on about my personal life? When I was 16, I tried my hand at forming a garage band with some old college roommates which never went fa-"

As though the screaming was some kind of summoning enchantment, a burst of fire arose from the ground. From it, arose a tall, slender being. "Screams can only mean one thing! Somepony is going crrrrrazy!" The draconequus laughed as he walked the grounds of the surface, stretching his limbs every possible and impossible way. "You would not BELIEVE what it was like down there! Ran into an ex, got my nap interrupted, received this very nasty cramp in my leg, and for what?"

Discord stared into the darker chasms and immediately released the pony. "C-Cosmos..." he was taken aback. What was she doing down here? He thought he was safe. "It's a real displeasure seeing you again. I've been coming down here for years now and not once have you reared your ugly head." he snapped his fingers and summoned a cup of tea to sip. "Ho-hum, what a drab day this is turning out to be."

The abyss was warm and cozy for a creature such as this. It got cold travelling through the endless vacuum of space. The abyss was a sort of retreat. But when one looks in, well... It was time to party. And it was slightly irritating since it interrupts his nap and he can't get back to sleep for another 5 hours. "Doth my ears deceive me or did I hear what sounded like 'fun'?" A lion's paw gripped onto this Earth pony and dragged him down. "Well, well, would you look at who should arrive at such an inconvenient moment." Discord smirked as he pet the pony. "Something strange is happening up there."

*The floor would begin to rumble as suddenly the plushie would levitate, its eyes glowing from the gems within them and suddenly the giant form of Discord would emerge from the ground* Oh for GOODNESS sakes! Lunch?! Punch -- the drink?! Ehh too red... not enough red? Clearly you ponies are too hungry to think straight. Why would you summon me here? *looking towards @Aticus the Adequate* Oh, you wanted me to send him to the abyss? But he's just TOO FUN! *Discord then turned over towards @Twilight Sparkle ✨ and booped her on the nose* Why not send YOU into the dimension of chaos and nonsense? Hmmmm? c: "Oh Discord, you silly draconiquus, you can't do that! I'm the Princess of friendship!" "OHHH ! But it will be so soooo fun! C'mon c'mon c'mon! Let me ban you from the forums! You'll return." "Well, alright. If it means restoring the peace eventually from this day of nonsense. I have wings, anyway. So, I'll just fly back, eventually." "Don't worry, everypony. I'll be back from this ban! Happy Chaos Day of April the 1st! And thanks for joining on this random member event we shall be doing more of. If you're interested in being featured in an event or have an idea, reach out to any admin or Event Coordinator who can help. And watch out for any silly Draconiquus activities on this day, ya silly fillies!
