Discord: I'm done babysitting you foals. I'll meet you at the next juncture when you've figured it out.
Twilight Sparkle: But if the Old Palace isn't "where we began"… What is?
Discord: I don't know, why don't you ask that smart cookie Applejack? Or maybe Fluttershy can give you a short and sweet answer.
Twilight Sparkle: …Rrrrrrrngh.
Discord: Friendship is YOUR specialty, Sparkle. You handle your domain, while I tend to mind: Glorious, long-overdue CHAOS.
SFX: (SNAP!) (FLASH!)
DM: …And with that, Discord disappears with his usual flair?
Discord GM: Soon after, pink clouds gather over what remains of the royal gardens.
DM: Uh-oh.
Discord GM: That's right! It's chocolate rain on your parade.
DM: Y'know, I never asked; why chocolate rain?
Discord GM: It's just such an efficient opener. What else says "magical chaos" quite like food-flavored weather? …Or would that be weather-flavored food?
Hehehe. Nah. Weather flavored food would be Thunder Storm spaghetti or wildfire pizza. Neither of which I recommend, you just zap your tongue and scorch the roof of your mouth. Provided you survive.
Well, being a kid-friendly family movie, it pretty much was as pleasant as you could really get. The only way it could get more sugary goodness would be a musical number. :o
But it's just so efficient! Weather helps grow crops which are then harvested and turned into food. Why not skip those middle steps?
(Ironic answer: because creating stuff like spaghetti and pizza is a complex process. Weather is closer to destruction than creation: large, blunt, undirected force. So food-weather actually introduces more order than ordinary weather. Nice job, deity of chaos!)
I checked, and "Wildfire Pizza" is a name used by some pizza shops. "Thunder Storm Spaghetti" gets "spaghetti plots" of storms.
What if....there is no Discord and the DM has just been pulling a Gollum/Smeagle this whole time with everyone playing along while the SWAT team gets set up outside? That's why AJ doesn't want to accidentally cheat the curse, the DM has been waving around a shotgun this whole time with one eye twitching! It's so obvious now.
"Discord" is clearly just a puppet in one hand and a pistol in the other. The DM has gone full Scarface and Ventriloquist. What we're seeing is what the DMs broken mind is visualizing.
Well we're just going to have to go to pun court over this. I hope you have a good lawyer, I doubt it though since there are no good lawyers! Mwahahaha!
The best use of memes is never admitting to your use of memes. Like the time one of our GMs had us crossing a wide grasslands only to be ambushed by some large boa constrictors, vipers, and cobras.
So discord is leaving, but I assume DiscorDM is going to stay around right? I mean if Larry thought the elements were in the maze and they were not, that means they don't know were they are, so DiscorDM will need to be there to tell the party when they find them.
