She handcuffed Hooligan and shoved him out of his cell, keeping a slight grin on her face while she did so.

 

"Get movin'," ordered Redwood as she poked him in the back with her baton.

Missklang smiled.

 

Well, this looks totally safe. I just wonder why they didn't shove Discord in there under his statue form... I can just imagine the door closing behind me with an "it's for your own good" phrase of some sort. It's a perfect Missklang mousetrap. Discord's too in fact. We are just too curious not to avoid it. I would have to consider that in the future for my own good. How does this work is, however, the most interesting question. Is the thing on the bottom some sort of crystal that, like a black hole, syphons the magic out of the air? That could be fun. Well, I'm too curious not to go inside. I wonder if I would be able to use hammerspace in it. 

 

He jumped down to see if, in fact, there was something on the bottom.

Missklang's eyes glowed a bit, accommodating with the absence of light. he picked up a small transparent crystal rock from the floor. Then, he walked to the corner and looked at the walls that were carved with drawings made by a sharp object.

 

Well, nothing much. Just a shiny rock. Well, I don't have access to my magic, I can feel it. Neither my hammerspace. But I do however feel that my magic is still inside me, I just can't use it. So I won't die from old age or wounds if I were to be trapped here. I am still as damage proof as I was. As I thought any spell I try to cast is instantly absorbed by something. However, I must say. Discord's coming in here wasn't by curiosity. I can see he was working on a way to actually find a way to escape in case he was trapped here in the future. Very clever. I would do the same...

Well this went better then expected. At least those silent guards won't be able to get me here. And I just started to worry that I would have to kill someponye or at least damage some things or somepony to get here. I must congratulate the princess later. She is after all the first to effectively use my own curiousity against me. Not that this wasn't an obvious trap of course. That's the problem of being curious. You start walking into traps on purpose.

 

He resumed the studies of the carvings on the wall. 

 

Looks like Discord didn't loose his time here. Wow. They kept him here for two weeks. Well, I guess sweet revenge from Celestia...

 

He continued to stare on the wall.

 

Well what do you know... That might just even work... I will have to keep it in mind...

 

He walked a bit in circle.

 

Hmmm. This is boring. Boring indeed. At least I can talk to myself. 

 

He changed his voice drasticly, imitating perfectly Celestia's voice.

 

Well well well, isn't it Twilight Sparkle. My faithful 65^th student. What did you learn today?

 

Well, he copied Twilight's voice, today I learned that if I hit my friends with a book on the head, the book is damaged and the friend is upset.

 

Huhuhuhuhu. How sweet. You earned a pet. Come here. pat pat pat. Now go defeat another crazy mega dangerous villain that I'm to lazy to even consider to battle. You can easily die but that's okay. I will just find another pony to replace you.

 

Weeee. Best day ever! I will go and call my friends! Hey girls? Celestia asked me to go and to defeat a villain that could kill us all. Let's go!

You won't believe what the royal guards talk about in their off time. Making fun of the superiors is part of it. But if I annoy a guard, to the point that he attacks, is actually working to my advantage. Angry guards tend to forget about security and protocols and like to mindlessly open doors... And angry guards are easier to defeat as they stop thinking about strategy and just rush towards you. And after all, Discord mocks them as well and he got away with it... Well exept the time he was trapped into stone for thousand years but still... So... What's up?

A bit dark, but not a problem when you see in the dark. I thought of a few ways to escape that could possibly work. But I really liked the acoustics of the place.I could sing loudly and imitate ponies saying things they are not supposed to, for my amusement.

Well, you could have told me where to look for her in the first place. Besides, if I didn't do that I wouldn't attract the attention of the two most important ponies in this establishment, would I?

Actually, guards are not supposed to be mean to the prisoners. It's just how psychology works. Did you ever heard of the Stanford experiment? The school simulated a prison, and the "guardians" in only a few days become mean to those who were "prisoners"... But the guard, I kinda provoked it. It tried to freeze me before. Right before you came the first time. I kinda did it on purpose to be able to escape. I even mentioned the freezing while I was taunting it. Besides, I doubt that the cells are equipped with any stuff that can actually damage me. Otherwise, it would be called a torture chamber than a cell...
