1st Reign - Video/Action in Goldenrod Hideout

The feed opens up on a slightly jaundiced eye, wild and a little bloodshot. It twitches unnaturally, then squints in glee as the hand holding the Pokègear pulls away, revealing a maturely handsome man in a newly acquired Rocket outfit, stroking his goatee thoughtfully. He poses for the camera, admiring his image in the eye's reflection.

"My, don't you look absolutely riveting, sir. Black suits you… Though that's more than I can say for this place..."

Discord glances around, eyes swiveling around appraisingly, as if selecting which things to keep and which to spruce up a bit. It’s clear that it’s largely disposed to the latter; the room behind him is a depressingly grey little hole, and it is clear that despite the man's seemingly constant gleeful grin that Discord is more than slightly perturbed by things. He glances below-camera, eyes scanning quickly.

"Pokègear...yadda yadda connections....something something make friends, oh please, why do something so positively droll...pah!" A small booklet goes flying past the camera, shedding pages like new snow, one of which lands on his nose. Raised eyebrow and licked lips; within seconds he is chewing thoughtfully.

"Hm. Even paper tastes differently here...How delightfully…tasteless. It's no cotton candy, but it will do. Oh fine, what do <i>you</i> want?”

“Sol.”

The camera spins on a quietly sitting Absol, wearing the closest ‘Orly’ expression that a Pokèmon is likely to achieve. It has a slim black bandanna around its head emblazoned with a violently red ‘R’. A scoff from off camera, followed by a flying paper ball (which the Absol naturally dodges).

“Oh like you haven’t.”

I am Cobra Commander! Highest ranking not-native Team Rocket officer in Johto! That means you will pay attention to everything I see!

[Yeah, Discord. He can tell when people aren’t paying attention to him. Especially since it happens all the time.]

And yessss, you’re in Johto! Not Equestria, wherever that is!

[He pauses his ranting to try and remember where he’s heard the word Equestria from. Wait a second…]

And if you’re from this Equestria, you had better not start yelling every sssingle sentence like that annoying woman who said she was from there!

[China shop, meet bull. You were made for one another.]

As she's driving these points home, Discord is quietly sitting on the other end of the line, trying to stifle chuckles of delight. Even as she is lording her "triumph" over him, he squirms and twists in his seat, "Dissent" looking concernedly over at him as he begins growling hesitantly.

"Indeed (pffbt) my little pony, you couldn't be more (glee) correct. This world is so perfectly normal, isn't that right? Nopony has powers, neither you nor I, no? We cannot change things...we cannot fix things. So mundane there's absolutely nothing I can do to stir things up. <3 Isn't that correct, my dear Luna."

At this point, his voice is so sweet it practically sticks to the Pokègear as he's talking. As he speaks, his pupils dance their way around the room, drinking in all the normality of the room from the drab grey bed to the now-cracked chair, finally resting on the one thing conspicuously out of place.

"Ab?"

[Oh, this is going to be EVER so much fun. Commanding officer? Let's see how much we can get away with, shall we? :D :D)

He chuckles, twirling his goatee nonchalantly in lieu of sunglasses.

Johto...Non-native...so there are others like him around too? And like me? Where do I sign up, and why wasn't I invited!?

Discord straightens up suddenly to full attention, hand snapping to his forehead and drooping to cover his eyes at the same time in the most dignified salute possible for someone who really doesn't take the speaker seriously in the slightest.

"I happen to know this particular po-erh, woman! As Sir Cobra can clearly attest I am nothing like that strange....person? Yes. Person! Furthermore mon commandant, I happen to wish upon this particular pony the most delectable brands of chaos and unhappiness possible."

Grin.

"Permission to come aboard, Commander!"

[It's acquired taste.]

"My thoughts exactly! The best plans are the ones that....well, good plans....or the...hm."

He ponders for a minute, eyebrow raising in real thought.

Thinking. Thinking. [TLLostInterest] He abruptly turns back to the camera.

"It seems I now play a different game,
Freed from stone, chaos made new.
I wonder now, Discord's the name
But the question is, who are you?"

He blinks, another slip of Pokèguide halfway to his mouth. He eyes the strange man with curiosity, then delight.

"Why, what do you do with your spare time?"

He stares, waiting for an answer. [And apparently thinks a staring contest is in order. I don't even.]

Discord stares for a minute, blinking slowly.

How can anyone look familiar here? I've never seen any of these things before....

[..../suspicion]

[....]

He takes off his Rocket hat, brushes back his grayed hair with a hand, and makes as if to chuck it at the poor Pokèmon quite hard. "Dissent" simply stares, more of a death threat than anything.

His face breaks into an instant, glass-shattering grin. That stylishly styled hair, that ever so chic outfit...And a predilection towards purple. There was no question.

"The ever-dazzling Rarity, how charming. Tell me, how are you today, milady?"

[OH, YOU DID NOT. Fluttershy squeaks... and then starts glaring in return, putting her hands on her hips.]

I said, please don't throw things at that poor Pokemon! It's supposed to be your friend and help protect you, but if you treat it like that, it won't do a thing for you, and that will serve you right!

[you BIG. DUMB. MEANIE.]

[Have you actually seen a bull in a china shop? They don't hit anything, they avoid the shelves. Mythbusters proved it. Choose a better analogy.]

[SHE'S GONE FROM SMUG TO 100% ON EDGE. She always feels a bit bipolar when she's talking to Discord.]

...Indeed, tis so. What art thou thinking, Discord?

Plan weeks ahead, press uniform, train monsters. Useful things.

[He will take part in this duel- have at you good sir.]

[Cobra Commander is of course, oblivious to the fact that he’s not actually being respected. As far as he knows, this new Grunt is showing the proper respect to his commanding officer.]

Sssso, you want to spread misery and chaos? Go ahead! Just don’t get yourself arrested!

[He doesn’t really care what the Grunts do so long as they don’t broadcast themselves in full uniform to all of Johto while eating paper. Or other things that could lead to getting caught. Nor does he care about the pony thing. He's gotten into arguments about how people can't be ponies before, and he just won't bother with it this time.]

[I know, but the mental image is so much sweeter than a "pizza delivery at a Weight Watcher's convention" or something....plus, it's shorter! :D]

[Welcome to Discord's world! <3]

"Now mademoiselle, that's not in the spirit of things, is it? What kind of a pal would I be, hm, spoiling such a big happy surprise for what will surely be an exciting time for both of us? In due time, my dear villainess."

[There is a flurry of skittering noises on the other end of the line, as if someone is punching in keys in a drug-induced frenzy. Is it possible to get high off evil plans in the making?]

Chaos making allies? Well, what fun is making sense....There will time for making up for lost time later. For now, I need people that know the land before I start spicing things up a bit.

Discord currently has the smiles of a child with a liberal touch of melodramatic insanity playing in his eyes. A very happy former-draconequus indeed. And a curious one, at that.

"So....sir...as the ranking officer for this place, perhaps you might be a pal and explain to me my new dastardly duties? You lot certainly are disorganized; how am I supposed to take 'wait for further instructions'?"

[He has absolutely no problem with said disorganization, but it seems the best way to wriggle information out of this strange new ally is to cater to his obviously militaristic sensibilities. And if it's one thing that Discord will not allow again, it is to be caught defenseless due to a lack of knowledge. This is HIS game to enjoy, after all.]

He stops dead in mid-chew, raising an eyebrow and rolling one pupil in obvious distaste.

"Good EQUESTRIA how dry. Next you'll be telling me you write a journal and do every single tell someone gives you. My friend, you must get out of those doldrums! Order is such a drag, after all."

[Eyetwitch; whether this is because of his waning endurance for this duel or his exasperation at his obvious character foil, we will never know.]

[And now is the time to start taking offense at your words.]

Tho ist not our pal, nor are we a villainous! [~~At least, any longer~~] Thou would do well to get thou's facts straight!

Never thought of keeping journal before...

[That would make his overly exciting days even more exciting. His tone obviously belies the fact that he thinks that's a wonderful idea.

He huffs through his nose at the rather accurate description of his day to day business, folding his arms and squinting just a little- he still hasn't blinked yet though, so it's all good.]

Why does everyone have problem with way I do things?

Your duties? Sssimple. Sssteal Pokemon and cause trouble without getting caught! Follow any orders given by higher ups! Other than that, you're free to do whatever you want!

[Wow, Miss Flutter has certainly acquired something of a backbone, hasn't she? Especially since he's never seen her unDiscorded and angry. Mayhap unrecognizable? Methinks so. Johto air apparently does wonders for the character....]

Discord blinks, his "throw" returning into a light hat twirl which flips gracefully back upon his head in the incorrect position. This comes as no surprise to him, and in fact he seems rather taken with the way a hat is meant to be worn.

Hm. Just my imagination, I suppose. One of those ponies that just reminds you...Why bother, time for some fun. ♪

"Oh, I do say, I'm so sorry. I hadn't heard the please there, because that makes so much difference in the end." He checks his nails absently and spins a stray pokèball absently for lack of chocolate milk. Naturally, this is too neat and tidy for him, so he chucks it at Dissent abruptly, which the Absol merely lifts a paw to avoid. Glare. Like, basilisk death glare of doom, which Discord pays no attention to whatsoever.

"Oh Dissent, bring that back, would you? There's a chap."

Glare.

[And thus, we return life to the way it was meant to be. Eternal night<eternal chaos. :D] Eyeroll. "Luna, Luna, LUNA.....you're asking to be let in on your present and spoil the surprise, and I'M the one told to keep 'thou's facts straight' [said in a greasy low, sing-song voice]. I really should step down; you're clearly better at not making sense than I." [Trololol jk bbq HAH! As if. XD] There is still the frantic skittering noise in the background, accompanied by the occasional suppressed giggle and more than once the highly cautious growl of a severely weird-ed out Absol.

He twitches very slightly at the 'follow any orders given by higher ups' part, but other than that Discord looks more or less content with his new lot in life. He shrugs, complete with a sigh and hand on forehead. You know, the whole nine yards.

"Ugh, how utterly mundane. Being reduced from such grandiose plans to the banal day-to-day of a common thief..."

He brightens suddenly. Even if he can’t make cotton candy ones anymore, at least for chaos there’s a silver lining in every cloud.

“…come now Discord, where’s the fun in that? There is no chaos to be had in minor thievery! Petty theft is unbecoming of you! Chaos, madness, misery, shall we. Bigger! Better! Time to jazz up this ‘Johto’!”

[Btw, are there any Rocket-only channels I should be aware of? For group heists and things on a large scale for contacting others, such things.]

Serious eyetwitching now, complete with a slight mouth-parting and a vein in his temple throbbing distastefully away. The staring contest might have to take a backseat to this. Discord may be many things, but HELPFUL is a label he will certainly not abide by. The Absol "Dissent" pops in and nudges him with his horn; even for a new partner, Discord falling silent is a rare thing indeed.

Poke. Poke prod. Shoves off-screen in irritation. Apparently Discord isn't the only attention whore in the house.

"Oh for goodness sake WHAT?"

"Sol."

"What does that even mean?!?"

Recovering back into camera with a huff, Discord returns and continues the conversation as if nothing happened, despite his now off-kilter hat. [I wonder, do you trust him to have not taken this opportunity to blink?]

"My little po-ehm. Dear sir. Perhaps I can...assist you. Recall what others have said about your style, hmm??"

Hmm... Let me think for moment...

[Are you ready Discord? Are. You. READY???]

Well;

▪ Am drinking too much
▪ Am making consistently bad choices
▪ Am not making enough choices
▪ Am too willing to follow orders
▪ Am too violent
▪ Am steal pokémon- is bad thing
▪ Am fight against pokémon- is bad thing
▪ Am am Rocket- is bad thing

[You could actually hear the bullets points. LISTEN TO THEM.]

That is all I think.

[Oh, you jerk. She glares at him as well, a finger wagging at him like a teacher to a very bad student.]

See, he won't bring it back, because you've been very mean! If you don't treat Pokemon nicely, they won't treat you nicely in return.

[She then quite easily switches her attention to Dissent, very kind and loving and familiar.]

It'll be all right... Dissent, was it? That's such a nice name. You're a very good Pokemon for putting up with that. My name is Fluttershy!

[She's not happy with these state of affairs, though.]

In this case, we shan't mind the present being spoiled.

[She gives a laugh.]

Ha. As if we would believe thou would step down in thou's quest for chaos. This thou's specialty, after all.

...What art thou doing? Where art thou?

[She's pretty demanding.]
