Insanity is just creativity to the nth degree.

You ever wonder what happens in Discord's head? You ever wonder what twisted horrors and marvelous wonders his imagination holds?

Baffle Buck a young colt who knows next to nothing of his creation has grown up in the care of Discord for as long as he can remember. Its been ok so far being trapped in the mind of a being of chaos. The food is nice, the weather peachy. But only if you have the drive to make it that way. In a prison fueled by the imagination and chaos of Discord anything is possible provided you supply the will to make it happen. You could make all your wildest dreams come true, or all your worst nightmares reality.

Follow this young colt as he trains his powers in a desperate bid for survival. For when Discord decides its time to unlock Baffles true potential he unleashes all out war on his mind. Can Baffle survive the psychic onslaught and terrors Discord produces? Will he ever escape his twisted prison? And most importantly what will he find out about his purpose in life as he journey's the twisted labyrinth of the mind of the master of chaos?

interesting story looking forward to the rest of it.

Keep writing blind. Though I will have to ask we see what goes on after Discord is released.

keep writing blind? I assume that means I'm doing okay so thanks.

You are doing okay. Until we get a real grasp of what the hell is going on and if this is all just Discord's head remains to be seen.

I'm super glad you're still working on this. It's one of my favorites. Thanks a bunch.

You never touched on something I asked. Is this pre-escape? Post re-imprisonment? A world where he won? That much is still bothering the hell out of me and if I can finally figure out whether this is all really just his imaginary world in his head during his imprisonment or if this is an alternate reality where he triumphed, then I will be able to enjoy it better.

hmm... I thought I touched upon that, but looking back it seems its only a couple vague paragraphs spaced between my chapters... sorry... With what I have planned though it should become clearer either in the next chapter, or the one after that. I'd try to explain it now, but, knowing myself, I'd either say too much or not explain it well enough

This is infuriating. I think I know how Celestia feels when she deals with him now >_>

This new chapter makes me so happy I could just tear out your intestines and strangle you with them!

(Cheers if you get the reference)

But where did the Potato come from!!!!!

When Baffle first entered the room I said the potato clock was the only thing that seemed off about it. Pretty strange to have a completely normal room with only one small thing off from how I described the rest of the manor, right? If there had been anything else off in the place Discord wouldn't have noticed it and taken it with them. Even then Discord knew something was off, so Madness turned up the creep-a-meter to make Baffle more impatient to leave. The end result? Madness played them like a deck of cards. The big hint was here:

“Sure,” said Madness, smiling that really creepy smile. “It’s not much of a gift, but I would be a horrible host if I didn’t give you something. It doesn’t tell time or work as an alarm that well anyways. The bell never goes off at the right time.”

A warning for BELLE to keep quiet. I thought it was pretty obvious BELLE was based off of GLaDOS, so I figured I'd go with the potato guise. Also :

“I can’t believe I ended up looking like a potato clock. What kind of imbecile cares about the ridiculously small amount of voltage a potato can produce? All I wanted was to try my emergency download function, and I ended up trapped in a potato.”

Following the show don't tell policy I thought that was a nice way to at least give you an inkling of how she survived. BELLE is a Bio-Electronic computer after all. She isn't bound to just wires and circuits. What better way to survive than downloading yourself to a convenient vessel that, while killing her, was conveniently attached to her for download? I thought it was obvious, but what do I know? I'm the writer. I know how the whole thing works, but that doesn't mean I show it correctly.

Really you didn't answer that.
