The streets of town- Thursday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had things to do, and the streets were soap. She was a problem solver, though, and had found ways to step or things just off there and to step on to get around. Things could be worse, and currently she was stepping on the base of a lamp post, trying to find a clear spot to head back to the dorms.

She was kind of over the chocolate rain, though. She had limited clothing here.

Discord glided by on sponge-skates, executed a perfect triple axle, and landed just by Rey.

"Oh you are very resourceful, aren't you!"

[thatwaslucky]

"I try," she answered. Wasn't having much look at the moment, but she'd work it out. "Where did you get those skates?"

Discord snapped his fingers and another pair of sponge-skates appeared draped by their ties over his hand. "I am also very resourceful."

[thatwaslucky]

Rey raised an eyebrow, but people here did things like that, right?

"Don't suppose you're interested in sharing," she said.

"Well now I don't know." Discord swiveled in a little circle. "What's in it for me?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Not having to call for help when I break an ankle?" she tried.

"Come now. You were doing so well with your hops, skips, and jumps."

[thatwaslucky]

"That doesn't mean I'd like to continue if there's a better option," Rey pointed out. "If that's a no, that's okay."

The skates vanished as Discord rubbed his chin. "Interesting." He spun again, gesturing sweepingly to the town around them. "So, what do you think? Of all the changes around here."

[thatwaslucky]

"It's definitely made things more interesting," Rey said, wrinkling her nose. "But it'll go away. It always does."

"Well now that's no kind of attitude to have," Discord scolded. "Why shouldn't it stay?"

[thatwaslucky]

Rey gave a one-shouldered shrug. "Things don't seem to stick around here. Changes happen for a few days at most. It's how things are."

[notqnoreally.livejournal.com]

"Well, I think these changes might only increase," Discord said huffily. He skated around Rey's position on the lamp post, nose high in the air. "What's more," he stopped in front of her, eyes wide and spiraling. "I think I can make you see it my way."

[thatwaslucky]

"What are you doing?" she asked, looking directly into his eyes anyway.

They were spiraling, you try not looking.

"Just making a few . . . adjustments." Oh, this girl was chock full of hope, wasn't she? Everything would be all right in the end. The chaos would clear, the roads would return to normal -- no, no, that wouldn't do at all. "A little jiggle here, a little whammy there, aaaaaaaaaaaand." He tapped one claw to the top of her head and drained that positive attitude right out of her. "Tada!"

[thatwaslucky]

Rey blinked a few times, and her frown deepened. "It really is going to stay like this, isn't it?"

Discord's mouth formed a little moue of sympathy. A second face appeared on the other side of his head, smirking fiercely. "It really is."
