[Say hello to Liz's tail, everyone. Cambot is following behind her as she's walking down the hallway, seemingly in a huff. Something seems off about her...not just the bad mood radiating off of her, but it's almost like her pony self was drawn with a duller color pallet. Cambot picks up some speed, now hovering right by her side. After a second she notices him, turning and snorting agitatedly.]

Get out of my face.

[Cambot falls back, as if by surprise. Normally this would be the point where he leaves, but he continues to follow from behind again. She's in such a bad mood, he's worried! Would some music make her feel better?]

I said beat it!

[And WHAM, that's a hind hoof right in the lens, and static.]

[And right at that moment, the freakish thing turns up to check up on his progress, only to discover Harvey there. He leeeans over him.]

My my, that's a lovely voice you've got there, sir! I think I've found just what I'm looking for. You won't mind if I borrow it for a little bit, will you?

[Discord seems to be drawing something with his hand...and then, much like with a certain little mermaid, a bluish orb of light emerges from Harvey and floats towards Discord. He instantly grabs it up.]

I knew you wouldn't mind! But don't worry...I wouldn't dream of not rewarding your generosity!

[He snaps his fingers again, and a greenish orb of light appears, and floats back into Harvey. Congrats Harvey...you now have the voice of Perry the Platypus.]

[OH GOD THERE IT IS. Harvey whips around to face the draconequus, still trying in vain to shield Liz behind him.] What the hell're -

[His words are choked off as Discord makes a motion of his claw, drawing away a bluish orb of light. In a flash of panic, Harvey instinctively makes a grab for it - with his forehooves and not his mouth, leaving him to fall flat on his face as the green light floats into him.]

[He quickly rises back to his hooves, bristling furiously at Discord and - chitters loudly at him? The singer stops and raises a hoof to his throat in horror; then, chittering louder, he rears and lashes out at the thing with his forehooves.]

[punsofiron]

[There's a loooooong silence from Liz as the events unfold. Then, finally, the silence is broken by loud, uproarious laughter, stamping her forehoof on the floor.]

Fine lot of good those million dollar pipes are doing you NOW.

[Discord easily flies up and out of Harvey's path. At hearing Perry's voice, he bursts into laughter along with Liz.]

Ohhhh, that is priceless! What a performance! I think I'll leave you two to sing a duet!

[With that, Discord vanishes just as quickly as he arrived.]

[milliondollarpipes]

[He falls heavily back on all fours as Discord disappears, both their laughter still ringing in his ears. Teeth gritted, he turns to glare at Liz in a mixture of anger and betrayal. Even after what she said before, he wouldn't have thought she would just laugh at him. Maybe he isn't her father, but at the very least they're friends.]

[Fine. She wants to be left alone? That's. Just. Fine. He storms past her with an angry snort, waiting until he's rounded a few corners to stop and slam his hind hooves into the wall.]
