“Shit shit shit shit!” I yelled as I hung from the chandelier. How did I get on a chandelier you may ask? Well it all started with the Mane Six and Celestia decided that it would be a good time to practice my chaos magic. Not even here for a day and the Princess of the Sun is in love with me, the Mane Six want to be my friends, and most ponies in the castle alone don't know I exist. Yeah shit is going down fast.
“How didst thou get up there?” came the voice of Princess Luna who had been absent since my arrival yesterday.
“No idea! The girls decided that it would be a good idea to practice with my chaos magic and now I'm hanging from a chandelier for dear life!” I yelled back. “And just because I feel like going off on a tangent, where were you yesterday?” I asked. She blushed a bit.
“W-we I-I uh...” she stumbled.
“You were playing video games weren't you?” I asked. She looked up at me in surprise before nodding guiltily. I couldn't suppress the squee at realizing Gamer Luna was cannon. And that was what caused me to fall. I was a lot more resilient due to chaos magic, but it still hurt like a bitch. And at that moment everypony else turned up looking for me.
“Are you okay? And why are you lying on the floor.” asked Twilight.
“Probably because I just fell off that chandelier.” I responded, not moving. And then the universe decided in it's infinite wisdom to punish me. The chandelier chain snapped and the massive piece of aesthetic lighting landed right on top of me. Once again, it hurt like a bitch. The girls were stunned.
“I can't feel my legs.” I stated matter-of-factly. That prompted some reaction out of Celestia as she levitated the chandelier off of me. I stood up.
“Thank you Celestia. And Luna, if you ever want to play video games with some one, just ask me. Now, if you'll all excuse me, I will now proceed to pass out.” I bowed a bit before falling on my back and doing just that.
Bad luck for you kid.
Shut up brain.
Who's gonna make me?
Me.
Really? Try it.
Maybe I will.
Go on I'm waiting.
You know what? Fuck it. Knife.
Knife-? Ack!
That should keep him quiet for a while. Now where was I? Oh, right, passing out on the floor. That makes what, three times now? Four? Meh, I'll think later.
An hour later in Celestia's room.
I awoke to the sounds of two mares giggling. Do you know what I saw when I opened my eyes? The carpet. Not the ceiling, the carpet. I looked a bit and saw my body was pressed against the ceiling by a silvery substance. Duct tape. The giggling developed into full on laughter and I looked to find Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash yukking it up by the door. They looked at me, still laughing.
“You know it's not a party until someone wakes up duct taped to the ceiling.” I said. This caused their laughter to increase to the point of near suffocation. I managed to snap my fingers, teleporting out of the tape, but I forgot about gravity. I braced for the second impact that day, but it never came. I looked only to find I was levitating. And then Twilight came in.
“Oh, Marc, you're up, the- how are you doing that?” she asked, realizing I was openly defying gravity.
“Well to put it in simple terms: Screw physics, I have magic.” I replied. Twilight was about to say something, before rubbing her forehead with a hoof and visibly taking a breath.
“I came to see if you were up. The nobles of Canterlot heard about you. And now they want to meet you in pon-er, I mean person.” she said.
“...Well shit.”
