Discord floated himself of the floor and looked quizzically at this 'Dave', "Smeghead?" He flashed over to the ghost pony, appearing in a khaki shirt and tie and with a shiny upper-case 'D' on his forehead. "Who are you calling smeghead!?"
"The guy doing a bad Arnold J Rimmier impression." Chopping up the chicken he half wondered how Discord even knew who Rimmer was. Lio programmed him with the complete Red Dwarf so that his personality could mirror Listers, but TV doesn't exist in this world, so how does Discord know who he is?
"Bad impression?" Discord clutched at his chest and pulled a face, "Why must you continue to wound me?" In truth, he had no idea who he was currently dressed as; he sometimes got ideas for outfits which seemed to reference some world of which he was not consciously aware, as if they were coming from some outside force to which he held some kind of spiritual kinship. He had a sudden desire to ask Dave for a mutton Vindaloo. (Judging by Discord dressing as Hunter S. Thompson in 'Three's a Crowd', he can reference other works, for whatever reason. So, canon-ish?)
Aura felt ignored dud to the fact she offered to help him up but she completely ignored him. "Jerk..."
After a while, Darky finished the salad he was doing, completely ignoring what everypony else was doing. He put it in a plate and started decorating it a little so it looked a bit nice. He wan't that good at cooking, but he made quite a nice job in there. "I'm pretty sure she will like it." He said to himself once he ended. He noticed he made quite enugh for everypony else. "You can eat some of what I did." Darky said to them.
"Who's a jerk?" Asked Discord, turning to face Aura, then, hearing Darky's comment, span in his direction instead, "Ooh, free salad!" He walked over to the table.
Darky put some extra plates for them, but he moved aside the special one he made for Luna, which looked both delicious and fancy at the same time. It looked that he really put all his heart in doing it. "Hope you like it." Darky said to Discord as he went to the table.
(Er, where did Aura offer to help? I double checked you last post and just saw your order. If I may have everyone's attention, how do you guys feel about Scruffy's character(In the sign up topic). I'm not sure if I should say yes or no. I mean technically I don't mind original spicies. Lio isn't really a pony, and Dave is a hologram A.I., I also plan on introducing Sea Ponies at the Amusement Park, but Scuffy's character isn't a pony or faux pony so I figured I'd get the input of you guys. The reason I had no issues with TRD's use a Discord despite not being a pony is that it's cannon that Discord lives with the ponies.)
(I'm fine with it, this house is pretty diverse already, and canon's taking a bit of a beating anyway...)
(I've had that happen myself. I guess it comes from these little quick reply windows you think you hit post but you actually didn't.) "Miss, I've finished your chicken salad where would you like me to place it for you? Sir, you apple pies still has another five minutes in the oven. Smeghead, all food is free here, or rather it's included in you rent. Considering how little the boss man is charging it might as well be free." Dave closed his eyes to access the kitchen's database. He'd need to have Lio fetch more lettuce from the garden. He didn't understand that if it made sense to replicate the food not native to this world, why didn't it make sense to replicate everything.
Rosy knocked on the door, her hair falling over her eyes. A crack of a branch came from the woods behind her, and she flinched. When nothing attacked her, she pulled out her hoof yet again, and knocked on the door, slightly frantically.
"Oh,thanks Dave!" she took the chicken salad and placed it down on the table as she went to get some utensils to eat as she sat back down in a chair across from Darky.
Darky smiled after seeing they wanted to eat what he made, but then heard the door. "I wonder who is it." He said, wondering if Lio would open the door or if he should go to see who it was.
Discord looked up from his salad: "My name's Discord, actually," he growled at Dave; he was starting to dislike this pony, or whatever he was.
"Discord J. Smeghead it is." The boss hadn't programmed him to be a jerk, but somehow it felt right riding on the dragon thing. ~~~ Having come out of his lab when he saw the small pony approach the door, Lio hurried to answer it. "Good afternoon, how may I help you?" (Discord may not like Dave, but Dave likes Discord. Never should have done the Rimmer impersonation. It gave Dave a reason to latch on to that image. Also while the Glass House has hidden camera's they are only outside, in the living room, dining room, Lio's personal room and the lab. The residential rooms and the bathrooms are camera free.)
Discord fought the urge to do something drastic; he was legitimately trying to turn over a new leaf, and he wasn't sure his magic would even work on Dave. Instead he smiled as he came up with a new plan. "Dave, could you make me a vegetable curry, with all the trimmings?" Not as satisfying as his more... traditional methods perhaps, but it should still occupy the insolent pony for a good while.
Dave gets some brown rice from the cabinet and then gets a sauce pan to make it in. "Do you want your Chardonnay chilled or room temperature?"
Discord breaks out his finest dinner jacket and pencil moustache. "Do you have a wine list I can peruse?"
