Canpaign of Jokers

"If everything you've said about yourself is true... Then odds are you've got over about 1100 years to understand. So that book would help catch you up on 1000 of those years." Bedside comments.

"A book written by Nightmare Moon herself would probably be very helpful to me I admit." Ersa said.

Xel Unknown wrote:"Oh, so she is your marefriend?" Bedside jokes.

Gears takes his time, composing a response, then unleashing it at a moment when it would make much less sense. "Please! If she was my marefriend, don't you think I would have thrown her across the table by now? Honestly. Some ponies."

"'Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord, what fools these mortals be.'" Scroll quoted. "You n-never know what you have until it's gone, Gears. Best m-make your move now, rather than later."

((I have been waiting forever to use that quote. Since like, page 40.))

Gears points to the top of his head. "I know I have a sandwich, and that's still here."

Scroll slapped the crazed robot.

The sandwich falls from Gears' head and Gears frowns. "My hat..."

"mINE!" Quarrel yells, zooming over from three tables over, grabbing the sandwich, and dashing back with it clutched to her chest.

The Warrior of Many Faces wrote:"mINE!" Quarrel yells, zooming over from three tables over, grabbing the sandwich, and dashing back with it clutched to her chest.

Gears shrugs. "Eh. Cry not over spilt milk, for your brother's glass sets on the table. Sticking to uncreated adages. You horrify me, Quarrel."

Quarrel rips the sandwich in two and plugs a half into each ear. "wHAT WaS THaT? CAN't hEAR YoU!"

Gears mimes shouting at Quarrel. "I CALLED YOU BEAUTIFUL, AND ASKED YOU IF YOU WANTED TO PADDLEBOAT DOWN MANE STREET LATER"
((lolwut))

And now once the sandwich was broken in half the thing has a weird yellow like glow appear out of nowhere... And Both of the chaotic pair hear a bit of some one woman wail song as the extra chaos disappears in a flash.

((OOC: Fred's a time pony... That sandwich was booby trapped! It was like that all along, clearly... *lierjackface* ))

"dARTH MaUL HAs COOtIES, aND ThE TAsK iS To SAdDLE a GoAT tO GaIN a GaTOR? It's a Date!" she calls back.

Then...

"Hay, wait. Where'd the extra chaos go?" she pouts.

Gears gulps nervously and blushes, having lost what confidence being chaotic had given him. "I...uh...I...oh gosh." Gears runs out of the room, heading in the same direction that Klaue had gone in.

And gears ends up running straight into a hole in time... Then next thing the robot knows he has crashed into The Clockwork Mage.

Gears shouts in surprise, before realizing who he ran into. "Aah! Oh gosh! I'm sorry!" Gears hurries to help the mage back to his hooves.

Quarrel blinks. "Drat. I rather liked Chaos Gear."

"You do know you had just gotten that utility to turn Gears back to Chaos-Mode whenever you can, remember?" The Pony Handler comments. "Though I'd ask you not to do so... Cause too much of chaos gets boring quickly."
"As much as it pains me... And feels like an self-insult for me to say... He has a point..." The voice of Discord mutters to himself.

Next Clockworks gets up and dusts himself off... "OH, hullo Grinding Gears... I see your Chaos Self has left you earlier then I had guessed it would... Nice to see you again, are you ready for that chat now?" CM nods to Leech and Klaue. "I'll deal with this... It's important." He said as he heads to a private spot for both of them to talk.

"...chat?" Gears thinks for a second, before snapping to. "Oh right! From when you called me uh...called me Chaos and Metal Gear." Gears follows the mage, a slight grimace on his face.

"Yes... Now this isn't going to be too big a bad talk... But I've finally think I know how to explain your, issues... Without triggering them... I hope..." CM states in private. "Now then... Thanks to the chaos, don't care where it comes from. But thanks to it. You've gained a "third" you, which has been dubbed, Chaos Gear. And for sake of easy termanology, let's call the you that you are now, Metal Gear... Now... Umm..." He waits to see if the Rage-Bot can piece together where he was going with this.

"...that's sort of weird, but I did notice that I behaved pretty radically when chaotic, what with catapulting over the town... Seems like you're missing a me though. If I'm 1 and Chaos Gear is number 3, then who's 2?" Gears thinks about it for a second. "Is number 2...my problem? Besides the...the obvious problem of having multiple selves..." Gears frowns, not encouraged that his problem might necessitate him being set in an asylum.

"Chaos, runs on it's own crazy logic..." CM comments. "And yes... But this isn't as major a problem as you might think. Though I've not got a clue how to help you other than... I suggest, you try to ingrate yourself with Chaos Gear, because he is fully aware of your other self... And I'm willing to bet money that if you were to ingrate with him, not only will you totally end up winning Quarrel's heart, but being able able to take the next step in dealing with your, black-outs... Now there is one thing that I feel I must tell you, your other self, only wishes to protect Grinding Gears from something he doesn't want you to know... Something that I believe Chaos Gear half-knows. Lastly, I must tell you, my suggestion here isn't the only way you can fix your issue... I think that weird guy who built BK-7 can help you with your issue too."

((And then Gears was an allegory for the Superego, Ego, and Id.))

Gears continues to frown, not particularly encouraged by this. "But...chaos me isn't the real me...just a facade." On hearing about BK's creator though, Gears perks up a bit.
"Niv-Mizzet?...you think it's like a genetic thing then?" He thinks for a second, before slapping himself lightly with his hoof. "Right, we hadn't talked about that. Niv-Mizzet's my uh...my birth father. I've been uh...I've been trying to find him."

(OOC: I know right?)

"Well like I said that's just the easiest to try option you've got right now... And as somepony who's been in a chaotic mindset than most ever be in their lifetime, the only real difference between you and the Chaotic you, is the "chaos logic" mindset that really is just a stylized version of your normal self and feeling a lot more willing to do, things, that you normally wouldn't be willing or want to do. Like I'd assume, you and talking with Quarrel is." CM said and nods. "I hope you're able to find him... I've not really talked much with BK about his maker. Other than he's the best mind that can help you, one way or another, with that issue."

Gears nods and sighs. "I uh...I talked to BK a little bit about Niv-Mizzet; he said he didn't know where he was. Thank you...for your help. I'll uh...I'll try to reconcile with 'chaos gear.' And I guess being chaotic did get me a date with Quarrel."
Gears coughs, trying to recover after that last comment. "Err...is there anything I can help you with?"
