(Discworld? x3) "Hey! That was my vegetable garden..." Discord protested, frowning. He clicked his talons, and turned the turtle into a giant peach.
Aborel looked at him, confused. "you have a vegetable garden? why?" she said, looking at the peach and turning it into a kumquat. (the references shall abound! and they shall be references to everything)
Aborel shrugged. "I prefer crystals. although..." she said, turning it into a crystal carrot. "perfect!" she happily placed several orbs of light around it and watched the light play across it's surface
"Well, you've certainly brightened up my home," Discord said, looking around. "Do you have any other improvements you wish to make?"
Aborel shrugged. "no ideas at the moment. I'll probably come up with some later. how come you don't seem to have done this sort of thing? surely you're allowed to do it here"
"Oh, I'm very lazy." Discord explained, reclining in his chair, "Besides, it's not as much fun if there's no-one else to see it..."
Aborel thought about that, then nodded. "yeah. ponies don't seem to like it though. once I turned a whole town to crystal!" she said, making grand gestures, then pouted. "and they got angry!"
"Yes... No imagination, these ponies! They want all their houses to be solid, and opaque, and on the ground..." Discord yawned. "So very dreary... and then they get cross when you try to liven things up for them!"
Aborel nodded. "I don't think I've ever met someone who liked the things I made them besides you. they all want it to be normal" she said, her disgust with the idea evident
"Pfft, please... there's no such thing as normal!" Discord scoffed, waving his paw dismissively, "You know in one realm I visited, juggling geese was the most popular form of entertainment! Ponies just have very narrow horizons, it seems..."
"yeah" she said before frowning as she shivered. "that's wierd....." another voice would echo through the area "you two are weird. and the world's insistence that I say something is even more so..... I'm just kinda here to be here." the voice would fade away
Discord looked around, quizzically. "Well, that was new..." He raised an eyebrow, and looked at Aborel. "A friend of yours?"
Aborel shrugged, looking just as confused. "maybe? I don't remember anyone I've met, just things I've done."
"Well... I'm going to call it... Jethro. It sounds like a Jethro." Discord decided, writing the name on a little tag, then floating it up into the swirling void.
a silver mist appeared around the name tag, and it's writing changed to 'my name's not Jethro, though that's a good guess. I'm Etheran. nice to meet you. goodbye'
"Etheran?" Discord stroked his goatee. "No... I prefer Jethro. I'm going to stick with Jethro." He turned back to Aborel. "So, you don't know anything about Jethro then?"
Aborel shook her head as the name tag floated right in discord's face, and upon it was written: 'MY NAME'S ETHERAN! I SHALL NOT HAVE A PET NAME!' Aborel grabbed it. "huh.... you're really uptight, Jethro" she said, then blinked as the name faded out of existence
"Two new neighbours..." Discord mused, thoughtfully, "I have to say, I definitely prefer you, Aborel." He stretched, then floated up out of his chair. "Do we have to make a dog bed or something for Jethro?"
"NO!" Etheran's voice thundered. "I shall not have a dog bed! besides, I'm not really here. or there, for me. I'm in MY dimension." Aborel grinned. "well thank you, Discord. Jethy does seem a bit touchy, doesn't he? ....are you a he, Jethy?" "no. I'm a they"
