[weird things happening by themselves aren't /really/ a big deal. After all, this is Paradisa. Plus sharing a palace/city with enthusiastic magical unicorn foals would probably result in at least /some/ wayward magic.

However, things are rather...discordant. Waking up in a bed-turned-into-lime-green-mushy-linguini was pretty bad. The swarm of giant baby guinea pigs that showed up right after to devour said bed was kinda freaky, but at least the now-rock-candy-furniture seem to be holding their attention - for the time being.

But the tipping point was the veritable fountain of chocolate milk that gushed out of the sink when she turned on the faucet. And no matter what she did, it would not shut off. In fact, the guinea pigs seem to be building emergency life boats with her books and astronomy notes.

So. With a flash of blue magic, an unusually bedraggled alicorn now appears in the lobby, chocolate milk dripping from her coat to puddle on the floor. She flaps her wings, sending flecks of chocolate milk everywhere. And if that wasn't enough, she rears, slamming her forehooves into the flagstone and cracking it neatly in half before shouting at the air.]

Discord! Show thyself afore We root thee out of thy miserable hiding place and impress upon thee the meaning of everlasting nightmare, thou wretched snake!

[oh and her eyes are aglow with magic and the air is almost crackling with electricity. Approach?]

Comments

[flailingfelt]

[he woke up to find that his room looked like something Muppet Labs cooked up, and was hoping that the kitchen would look a little better than the rest of the tower. and have edible breakfast.

unfortunately, the gnat-speckle muffin he wished for didn't even look remotely like a muffin... not even poppyseed, which would have been close enough. instead, he got a floating cloud of pink-and-blue cotton candy with beady black eyes, which opened a mouth he hadn't even realized that cotton candy could HAVE (never mind the eyes, Muppets are used to everything having eyes) and roared as it lunged for him.]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! [flailing tremendously, the frog fled the kitchen for the relative(?) safety of the lobby, cotton candy flying after him]

I knew too much sugar was bad for you, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!

[doublethefun]

[eeyup. If she had any doubts before, they're gone as soon as she sees the possessed cotton candy cloud.

There's a whipcrack of blue magic as it lanced through the cloud, scattering it into pieces before she turns those glowy eyes towards Kermit.]

Hast thou seen a Draconequus about, Kermit?

[flailingfelt]

[he MEEPS and dives out of the way of the magic, behind a pillar that's looking pretty spongey right about now]

I don't even know what one is! ... But, uh ... thanks, Luna. What's going on?

Dictated forever

[huffythedragon]

[He's trapped in the library right now, FREAKING OUT. This has made matters worse, OH MAN THIS IS DISCORD ISN'T IT?!!!]

He's done something really weird in the library! There's a big monster made out of books stomping around!

[doublethefun]

[whoops. She might be slightly sheepish once they straighten things out.

And she's being rather completely unsympathetic to the plight of the poor books.]

Burn it.

[huffythedragon]

...What?

[But but... He sounds very worried about this]

The monster is made out of books, if I burn it, Twilight will kill me.

She will literally kill me.

[heliotroping]

[hello Luna, there is a jumping coffin hopping around the lobby

The muffled voice comes out of it]

L--Luna?

[doublethefun]

[she pauses for about a second at the odd sight before her even as she places the voice]

Django, We shall release thee.

[and there's some more sparkly blue magic as it wraps around the coffin and pops it open (??? Does it work?)]

[heliotroping]

[Yes! Sort of... The coffin just turns into a giant pile of raisins that Django falls out of]

T--Thank you!

[brute_shot_bully]

[He's been stuck in the lobby since he burst through trying to get up to Carolina's room. He just sends Luna a blank-face from his seat on a staircase on the ceiling.]

Yelling not gunna help.

[His dog barks from an adjacent wall/staircase, wagging her tail. It's been the best game to her.]

[doublethefun]

[swiveling towards that voice on the ceiling and, nope. Her intensity fades a little when she sees he's not Discord.

But yes, she's much too worked up to even think about lowering the volume.]

And neither does sitting on Our haunches.

[brute_shot_bully]

[Goodness you are loud. Rubbing his ear.]

What would you suggest? [Yeah, if you can find him a way off this staircase he'd be pretty grateful.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Not willingly. Jade actually would have loved to spend the day in his room. But after the current antics the castle was pulling, he'd accidentally flooded the Gaudium tower and now he was hurtling down the stairs and into the lobby. Also, into Luna.

Unless she's got pretty good reflexes, Jade is set to bowl straight into Luna and knock her right over. He's also sopping wet and now there's water everywhere.

Hi Luna.]

[doublethefun]

[she's on the look out for attacks - or at the very least, a mocking voice. So at the sound of rushing water, she whirls around, almost lashing out with her magic but manages to stop and...get bowled over thanks to her split second of indecision.

Have a wet, feathery mess glaring up at you with glowy eyes.]

Jade Curtiss.

[make that a loud, wet feathery mess.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade's journal is missing, so there's no way to reply yet and he's trying to not swallow water and... feathers? And oh dear.

Jade looks down from where he's currently laying on top of Luna. He waves at her briefly. Had he his journal, he'd ask how her morning was, but judging by her loud tone (Which might do wonders of drying his hair), he can guess not well. He slides off onto his rear, looking like a soppy wet dog.

Have another wave.]

[takethat]

Holy crap!!

What are you doing??

[Phoenix had decided to go make himself some breakfast in the kitchen bright and early this morning, and hasn't been able to figure out how to get back to his room since. And now, on top of everything else insane going on, there's a rampaging pony in the lobby. Great.]

[doublethefun]

[hey, rampaging ponies are cool.

Anyway, she turns her glowy eyes towards the new voice.]

What dost thou think We are doing, Phoenix Wright?

[even when magically amplified, the sarcasm is evident.]

[takethat]

[He kind of flinches away, because what the heck, that voice! ...it's scary...]

I... it looks like you're having some kind of a freakout. And breaking things.

[checklist]

[ Oh, Princess Luna! This is good. Yes. Good.

Twilight calls out for her through the journal. Though her voice... sounds rather far from the journal. ]

Princess! Princess! Can you hear me!?

[doublethefun]

[good thing there was a lull so she could hear it]

Twilight Sparkle. Where art thou?

[checklist]

[Oh, Royal Canterlot voice, how We missed it. ]

I'm in the library!

Help!

[cantacquityou]

[That was so motherf-ing frightening I almost forgot about this cravat trying to choke the fux out of me.]

[doublethefun]

[at least thunderclouds haven't started forming near the ceiling.

She turns about, still looking for Discord.]

Thou wilt wish thou wert dead when We are done with thee.

[incantati]

[ dumbldore floats in and out of the lobby on a giant cheese sandwich.

minutes later, when he has dealt with said sandwich, he strides back in briskly. ]

Princess Luna?

[doublethefun]

[turning to him, glowy eyes and all]

Albus Dumbledore.

[that's as much of a greeting as she can manage at the moment]
