[She looks down at the handkerchief, then up at whatever... diseased mutant she assumes Discord to be. When Velvet speaks, her voice is as soft as her namesake and has the calm tenor (or alto, in her case) of restrained rage.]

I don't know who or even what you are, or what irradiated hole you stitched yourself together from, but you do not have the right to talk about her that way. The other Ministers, perhaps. But not her.

[discorderly]

You don't recognize me? I'm wounded.

[He slithers down to the ground, standing on his hind legs to bow and doff a top hat he wasn't previously wearing.]

Discord, spirit of chaos and former ruler of Equestria, at your service. And who might you be, my dear Apple admirer? Displaced from a world without me - you poor deprived thing.

[wastelandkindness]

You know, if a spirit of chaos was the former ruler of my Equestria, it would not surprise me.

Zebra religion makes more and more sense to me these days. Celestia Above.

[Look at how unimpressed and un-frightened Velvet is, Discord.]

Velvet Remedy. Stable 02.

[discorderly]

Oooooh, a stable, how quaint! But you know, the Celestia of these parts is usually only about - [He pops into a double of Celestia, except with his coloration and his horns slapped on top of hers.] - yea high.

[And he turns back into himself, shuddering.] Ooooh, that always gives me the shivers.

So, did you come here to meet Applejack? She's probably at market now. [He leans back to float again, casually examining his claw.] I know because we're friends.

[wastelandkindness]

You talk about her behind her back and then turn around and call her your friend? Spirit, mutant, or whatever you are, I think you have a poor grasp on the concept of friendship.

[She starts to scan the farm, walking into it carefully - as if going into a warzone.] And even if you weren't being blasphemous about the Suncaller, you'd be rude.

[discorderly]

Nonsense! I call her boring to her face too~

[He sails after her, because this really is more fun than whatever he was doing.]

Now Fluttershy! There is a friend. Aren't you going to go to her house and cry?

[wastelandkindness]

Cute.

[At the mention of Fluttershy's name, she stiffens. The hair on the back of her neck goes up. And she stops dead.]

Shut. Up. I am warning you once. Once.

[discorderly]

Oh, come now, everyone knows Fluttershy is best pony!

[He snaps his fingers, and they're both wearing T-shirts with her face on them.]

We're going to have tea tomorrow! [He leans down a bit closer.] I'm on sandwich duty, it's the most important job. So if you're going to visit her, don't do it then. Tears upset her, poor thing, and I simply CANNOT have her upset!

[wastelandkindness]

Huh. If any of the Ministry Mares would give you the time of day it would be the Minister of Peace. You aren't lying.

[Don't act so surprised. There's also the fact that Q's special effects are very impressive. She KNOWS that's a lot of power to casually throw around. Wasteful. Disquieting.]

...You are lucky you're dealing with me instead of literally anyone else in Little Pip's merry little band.

Alright. No tears. Lead me to Fluttershy.

...Please.

[This HURTS her to say.]

[discorderly]

The more the merrier, I say. Especially in bands.

[Fingersnap, light, he's dressed in a mariachi outfit instead.]

Since you asked so nicely, vamanos! A Fluttershy!

[And off he goes, playing his mariachi tune. Because really Fluttershy's house isn't all that far away.]

[wastelandkindness]

[He doesn't have a radio - or PipBuck - on him. That's more casual magic use. What the hell has she gotten herself into?

...There's always the Anaesthetic spell. Hopefully. And Pyrelight, who falls in above them.]

[kind_to_all]

[ ... there's only so many ponies or draconequui Shy knows that would play a mariachi band at this time of day. Fluttershy opens the door with a cautious smile as they come up the walk. ]

Oh! Hello, Discord. Are you... showing a new pony around Ponyville? That's awfully gracious of you... [ She eyes the new pony warily. ]

[wastelandkindness]

[Oh gods. OH DAWNBRINGER AND DUSKCALLER. She recognizes that voice. SHE HEARD HERSELF USING THAT VOICE IN THE MEMORY ORB.]

She does the only thing she can do.

Bow. On her knees and, uh, her other knees.

It's... It's a pleasure to meet you. Fluttershy. One I never hoped to know.

[kind_to_all]

I... um...

[ She's speechless for a moment. Who even is this pony? ] Oh my goodness, um... are you sure you have the right pony?

[wastelandkindness]

Are you not the bearer of Kindness and the Minister for Peace?

[kind_to_all]

I'm... a bearer of the Element of Kindness... yes.

[ Why is she still bowing? ] Would you... like to come in? ... You don't have to bow.

[wastelandkindness]

I -

[She rises to her feet and walks in, followed by a a phoenix that glows an unhealthy shade of neon green.

Perfectly harmless, at moderator request, but Velvet doesn't know that]

Yes. Of course. I - I didn't mean any -

I mean. Of course.

Wait, a bearer?

[kind_to_all]

There's... more than one of me. Oh, hello! [ She notices the phoenix. ] Aren't you pretty...

[ Completely engaged in interacting with the animal now, she walks around him, gazing. Finally she shakes her head. ] I'm so sorrry... can I help you?

[discorderly]

[Discord leans over to whisper rather loudly to Fluttershy:]

She's a little bit sensitive. Also I think she has a crush on Applejack~

[wastelandkindness]

No, actually, it's that I lived outside of what used to be Sweet Apple Acres, before the war. Before MY WORLD'S war.

And from the sound of things, Applejack and Fluttershy were the only sane Ministers in the entire Equestrian government.

My barn door doesn't swing that way, but thank you for your interest.

[wastelandkindness]

I - wouldn't touch, if I were you. That's a bale-phoenix. It...

...You have no idea what 'radioactive' would even mean, do you? And you didn't answer when I asked if you were the Minister of Peace. And 'there are many...'

...This is before the wars. Any of the wars. Isn't it.

[More to herself, than to Fluttershy.]

[kind_to_all]

No, I'm not... that's, um, why I wasn't sure if you had the right pony. Maybe one of the other Fluttershys is who you're looking for?

[ She stops her upraised hoof from touching the phoenix, but keeps gazing at it nonetheless. ] What does he eat?

[wastelandkindness]

Rodents. Radroaches and other insects. Thankfully, irridiated pray actually makes him stronger.

[If she had the equipment to tell, Fluttershy and Velvet would realize that appearance aside, Pyrelight is no longer radioactive.]

You... you say there are others. Taken from their worlds? Like me?

[kind_to_all]

Well, yes. ... I hadn't heard of a ... war in Equestria. That sounds just awful...

[ She trots back into her cottage, and finds a bag of dried insects which she keeps for the critters that need them. ] And I definitely haven't heard of a Ministry of Peace...

Can I get you anything? Some tea? You've probably had a hard journey here... [ She offers the insects to the phoenix. ]

[wastelandkindness]

Tea. Oh. Celestia's Warmth. Tea would be.

I.

Mostly the culture shock, I think. Tea would be lovely.

[Meanwhile, Pyrelight makes a happy little chirp and takes the bugs from Fluttershy's bare hoof. The warmth of his body is tangible even at this safe distance.]
