"Gentleman! Welcome on this grand night, to the Hall, of Infamy!"
>"Oh shut it already. First of all, everyone already knows where we are. Second, of the four beings here, only you, and the mismatch, are male. And third, no need to be so laughably grandiose."
>"Oh well I wouldn't say that now, I think it takes a bit of the monotony out of it really."
"Thank you, Discord." You glare at Chrysalis. "And considering we're at MY headquarters, I felt it necessary to give it a proper introduction."
>"A proper introduction? For this... hovel? Please, the Alpha Hi-"
>A hoof is slammed onto the table, "If you go off about your hives one more time, Trixie will not be responsible for what she does!"
>Everyone turns to Trixie as she eyes the rest of you.
>"Much better, now, Trixie believes we should get to-
>Chrysalis turns to you, "So why exactly do we have the jester here anyway?"
>You shrug.
"Not, exactly my choice. Discord wanted her in."
>"I think she's got spunk!" He smiles.
>A small flash fills the room as another hoof strikes the table.
>"TRIXIE, will not be spoken of so lightly! Trixie has half a mind to simply leave you fools if you do not begin giving Trixie the respect she deserves!" She holds her chin up as she sits back once more.
 
>Chrysalis and yourself turn to Discord.
>"Like I said, spunk!"
>You sigh.
"Let's just get this over with. I called you all here for a reason."
>"And what, pray tell, would be important enough to drag us to this," she turns to Trixie, smiling, "shack."
>You begin to speak once more when Discord holds a claw on your lips, giving a cheeky smile as he nods back to the mares.
>The blue mare scowls at the Changeling Queen. "What was that? Trixie, does not believe she heard you."
>She looks off. "Oh, nothing. It's fine really. After all, it's not like we're gathering in a WAGON or something. I don't believe EITHER of us would ever allow ourselves to meet in such a," she gives Trixie a side-ways glance, "meager, holding."
>Furious, Trixie leans on the table as she points to the Queen.
>"Trixie will not tolerate such implications from a would-be conqueror!" She appears to notice Chrysalis' frown and continues. "Then again, Trixie could not even begin to imagine the tireless work it took to plan such an attack, let alone to have had so many infiltrate Canterlot!"
>Chrysalis is now glaring at the entertainer.
>"And to have pulled it off so easily! To have taken over all of Canterlot in a matter of minutes! Come to think of it, Trixie must ask, why is it that we are not meeting in the royal throne room again?"
>You swear you see Chrysalis recoil from the sheer smugness radiating from Trixie.
>You'd have to thank Discord for this moment later.
 
>The Queen begins to retaliate, "Now listen here you-" She freezes and begins looking around the room.
>"Listen to what exactly? The ramblings of a fool? Trixie ha-"
>"SHUT IT! There's someone else here, has been, but their current wasn't strong enough to detect directly."
>Discord grins as he sips a glass of lemonade.
>"I do believe that would be our guest."
>"Guest?" Trixie's glare breaks as she looks to the draconequus in confusion, or annoyance, you're not sure. "Trixie was not informed of a supposed guest!"
"I was going to do so, till the two of you had your hourly tiff."
>She pouts as Chrysalis rolls her eyes. "Very well, Trixie will allow you this time." Turning her chin up once more she watches you.
>Giving her a deadpan stare to the mare, you speak.
"Thank you Trixie, for bestowing me such an honour in my own home." Turning to everyone, you continue. "As I had tried to say before, we have a new member joining our little group."
>Chrysalis raises an eyebrow as she appears to stop searching the room. "Oh? And who could possibly match up to our illustrious standards?" She gives a quick smile to Trixie on the word illustrious.
"If I could stop being interrupted, I could actually tell you."
 
>Your gaze crosses the room raking the Queen, Trixie, and a chibi Discord.
>Wait what?
>You do a spit take and see Discord simply twiddling his thumbs.
>Always hate when he pulls shit like that.
>He motions you as he holds a mock expression of annoyance, "Well? Get on with it already."
>Sighing, you speak once more
"Okay, fine, so, allow me to introduce, our newest member: Nightmare Moon!"
>As you finish your words, shadows from around the room rush past everyone and coalesce at the center of the table, swirling rapidly as it pulls the remaining darkness within itself. Starlight slowly begins forming across it's form as it falls to the table, rising slightly as it begins to squirm.
>"Trixie, had been led to believe THE Mare in the Moon, to be somewhat, more impressive than this... blob."
>Chrysalis begins to chuckle.
>"What is it now?"
>"Oh, nothing. Whatever or whoever this thing is, it does NOT like you, so it's good in my books."
>Discord snaps a new chair into existence across the table as the writhing mass begin slithering to its seat.
 
>"Oh don't worry, Trixie, Nightmare Moon truly is as impressive as you've heard in stories and legends. One of my more precious seeds, in fact. I was utterly distraught when I had first herd of her destruction! Oh, how the nights seemed endless!" He throws his hand to his forehead as he clutches his heart.
>"First of all, you created that? Second, it, says 'If only'" She smiles to Nightmare Moon.
"You can understand her?"
>"Of course. I'm a Changeling, and this, Nightmare Moon, is essentially one giant ball of emotions. I'm actually fairly interested on how it would taste, really, but I could take a guess that it has a pretty good bite as well."
>The mass twists as it seems to acknowledge the Queen.
>Discord relaxes his pose as he grins. "Quite right actually, and yes, I planted the doubt in Celestia's little sister's head. In either case, I had first guessed that she was still around when you gave us your report of the attack, how you had sensed something while you were undercover. Oh, and, by the way, thanks for that, not sure how much longer I would have been in there if another source of chaos hadn't suddenly erupted in front of me. An all-out war was a good shot."
>You flick a stone at him as he begins to drift off, forcing him to give you a scowl before remembering his thought.
>"In either case, Anon and I went and simply plucked her from Luna's subconscious. Unfortunately, she's in a somewhat similar state to mine at the moment, power being low and all."
"Which, is why she's been hibernating here for awhile. She wasn't able to gain a corporeal form until recently."
 
>"This all very nice and all, but Trixie must ask, what does she bring to the table in such a state?"
>The Queen scoffs, "What do you?"
>Discord suppresses a laugh as he begins to speak. "Oh she'll be fine. She simply needs a host to work through."
"Which brings us to my next point. Any suggestions?"
>"I wouldn't suggest a Changeling as a host, honestly. Do not see that working well. She, I suppose, agrees."
"Okay, so no changelings. Anything else in particular."
>She looks to Nightmare Moon. "She said she'd prefer an Alicorn, but as those appear to be in short supply, a Unicorn would suffice.
>You all turn from the cloud of stars to Trixie.
>"What? Why are you all looking at Trixie?"
>As she speaks, Nightmare Moon flies from her seat and wraps around the mare, Discord, yourself, and Chrysalis leaping to the other side of the table in shock.
>"TRIXIE DID NOT AGREE TO TH-"
>She and the shadows embracing her fall behind the table as all becomes silent.
"So... We found our host then."
>"I'd say so."
>"Indeed."
 
>The three of you try to look over the table as a new form rises rapidly.
>Surprisingly, NightMare Moon's appearance mirrors her old one almost exactly, with the exception of her cutie mark. Itself simply being Trixie's with a darker colour scheme.
>"Mmm... It's good to be out again. It appears I chose well even, this... Trixie, appears to have quite the potential for magic. She simply had no way of actually using it." She cranes her neck as a pop rings through the room, her regalia slowly forming around her.
>"I'll be to-TRIXIE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS GET OUT RIGHT THIS INSTANT OR TRIXIE WILL." Nightmare Moon shoves a hoof over her mouth as she attempts to compose herself from the surprise.
>"It appears, she's more resilient than I thought."
"I'm, sure you'll work out the kinks in time. In either case, welcome, once again."
>She smiles as she walks over to her seat, the rest of you returning as well.
>"The pleasure is all mine."
