    Can't believe we have to wait till Saturday to see the rest, seeing as the next two chapters will be of alternates.

    As suzerain of Earth, he could seek restitution from the use of the mirror as a villain disposal tool; he could also try a suit for harassment given the number of preemptive attacks he's received in Equestria. Rainbow being served a restraining order would amuse me.

    I'm having a hard time thinking up pony lawyer names. Mal Practice? Silver Tongue? Will Fleecim?

    NO! NOT A LAWYER!

    GRAYVEN! TOO FAR MAN!

    Though seriously, he could do a lot of damage.

    And the restriction of only working on "evil" ponies is a bit weird too. Like, what if someone is depressed because of a chemical inbalance. Can the magic of friendship do nothing than?

    Seems worrying that the only thing friendship magic seems to be good for is to defeat enemies. Like, true friendship can only be created by fighting villains together. That's a bad message to send.

    ...

    Is this a joke?
    They're not talking about magic in general. Just their megaweapons. And this is an off the cuff response from Twilight.

    Could ask Discord to help out, use Fluttershy to actually follow through and such.

    He is a god of chaos and can do whatever he wants.

    No. This story is very long and the wiki has virtually no information on it. I remember her walking around on fingertips and toes, remember that stuff was amusing, and want to reread it.

    I cannot remember what episode it happened in, the episode wasn't called "Introducing Sunset Shimmer", so it's difficult to find.

    Clearly, Rainbow (and the others, from the sound of it) have never experienced (or know someone who has) the effects of clinical depression.

    Yeah, the Grayven interlude on the Fool's Canon episode isn't memorable at all, nor is April the first easy to find.

    Oh, boy, a quick lesson in recent Equestrian History. Just what we need to work out the timeline.

    Yes, that part is just a little bit suspicious, isn't it...

    So, this is post season 4, before or early in season 5. And of course the elements are completely unavailable...

    Damn Starswirl's Mirror and it's awful sense of dramatic timing.

    Phrasing, Young pegasus!

    Well, I suppose they had to have some form of gesture to indicate cluelessness...

    Oh, Pinkie, you and your big mouth. I can already picture Twilight Face-hoofing.

    Bad idea, I take it.

    I'm reminded of Mass Effect 2, and Aethyta's reaction to Conrad Verner's explanation of how he ended up in her bar.

    Joy, magical artefacts with a moral code. I don't know if that's better or worse.

    So it's basically Deus Ex Machina with attitude. Definitely worse.

    Ah, she got that far in the history book before Celestia told her to stop?

    I suspect enough bricks will be shat to build a brownstone...

    She seems so proud of her logic. Then again, she is trying to convince them not to go near her brother and sister-in-law's kingdom...

    And guess what happens a season from now...

    I suspect it will take something a lot more balanced emotionally to purge. Something closer to the Life Equation (Hiss! The New 52, it burns us!)

    Oh, she hadn't considered that at all. And now she's realising she has to very quickly write a long letter to Shining Armor...

    Ah, the gentlest soul asking the hardest questions.

    Calling it a mere Curse is woefully underselling the danger involved...

    No! Nonononononononono! Do not let the strongest magic-user in Equestria anywhere near the depression-bomb!

    Again, woefully underselling it.

    I don't think they've ever been that depressed, ever. It's like trying to describe colour to a person who's been blind since birth. There is simply no compatible frame of reference.

    So you're going to need to be the bad guy? Oh, boy. He's gonna earn a Cutie Mark of Ham, if he hasn't already got one.

    Oh, this promises much hilarity.

    Whoa! There's evil, and then there's Evil, Grayven, let's not get carried away!

    Well, this promises to be interesting, in the funny way. And suddenly, I'm picturing all his attempts being foiled by Ponies being, well, Ponies. Or Wilson itself causing everything he tries to end up being good instead. Destroy a building? Turns out it was scheduled to be demolished tomorrow!:D

    Correction:

    You could probably sneak in...

    The white light does seem to be a good thing for fighting anti-life, but Zoat mentioned something about the OLC trying to access it to ressurect someone.

    Zoat can Paul see if someone has emotional enlightenment, he is friends with Guy and seemed to know that Mist had contact with the life entity and got enlightenment from that?

    The trick, is in knowing it's in the Fool's Canon episode to begin with. I don't recall most of what happens in each episode, except for the really big arc endings.

    Since pony names tend tend to be one word, (e.g. Applejack, Rarity), I suggest naming the lawyers Dewey (Pegasus, named after a weather phenomenon), Cheatum (unicorn - sounds similar to Trixie ), and Howe (Earth Pony, named after a farming implement)

    Man, I miss Car Talk.

    Random thought. Walk up to discord and present the anti life equation as the worst form of order possible. This is even true. Discord will likely wipe it from his existence in disgust. Probably with side effects, but at this point.....

    A universe where renegade can go full ham.

    Reminds me of the time when he went to Vega and could go full murderific because the ones he killed deserved it.

    I sort of assume that they felt the vines start up and went to the Tree of Harmony without telling anyone, whereupon they were promptly ensnared.
    No, Luna covered it.

    I think Grayven needs to go and steal forty cakes.

    It might have already been asked, but does Sunset remember this conversation?
