I bet they’ll do a good job at making those changeling teeth shine, though not so much about successfully brainwshing them. You see, their eyes don’t perceive light like pony eyes do. The Clinic’s brainwashing may not work on them.

There are a few typos in there, just so you know.

It was supposed to be a warning to tread carefully, saying there might be opposition and resistance movements threatening to destroy the Clinic, before i started talking about a contingency in the mind of Doctor Spark’s brother.

As for that contingency, it took me a while, but i’ve managed to rewrite the text about it, and put it here for you: https://ponepaste.org/9814

Read that for yourself, if you like.

@Background Pony #6DD6
What was the gist?

@Background Pony #6DD6
I wrote some stuff here, buy they deleted it. Hope any of you got the text somewhere.

@Doctor Rarity
Somepony’s gotta keep those giant, equine-devouring fangs sparkly and clean!

Chrysalis is probably healed, tamed, brainwashed and folded into the Clinic at some point down the line. (The Changelings need dental care too, after all!) But there would be no desire to do anything with Discord other than just lock him out and prevent him from messing with our plans, which we could definitely accomplish. Perhaps by erecting some kind of anti-chaos barrier.

@Doctor Rarity
Ah yes, your elusive “Chief Architect”, i believe. No matter- his and the doctors’ hubris will be the Clinic’s downfall. You and the Clinic compare yourselves to the feeble creatures you and the others have encountered so far. Discord. The two sisters. The Elements of Harmony. But remember what i’ve said: there is always a bigger fish. In your quest to forcibly cleanse the teeth of the world, you will find major threats to the Clinic, threats more powerful than any and all of you combined, more powerful than even the “Chief Architect” himself. Anger them, and in a few weeks (best case scenario for you), the Clinic will be gone. Possibly as if it never existed at all. The Clinic is not ready for these threats, and maybe it never will be.

Also, i know he can’t take down the Clinic, but Discord still can’t be brainwashed. You’ll have a hard time just getting him to and keeping him in the office, let alone changing his mind and making him a full-time employee of the Clinic. Same is true for some of the other villains- Chrysalis, for example, could just brainwash you (like she brainwashed Doctor Spark’s brother once) into letting her go somehow (maybe even compelling you to “resign” or go on strike or something else), then walk out the Clinic’s front door using her Changeling disguise abilities, maybe even impersonating Nurse/Minister Cadenza or one of the two sisters.

An interesting point… but what you don’t know is that at the heart of the Clinic itself is an entity more powerful than Discord could even imagine~

Nice one! I saw the others, too, they’re all great. I noticed that the sisters are under the Clinic’s control, as are the Elements of Harmony. I guess that would make the Clinic unstoppable.

…but not really. You see, there is always a bigger fish. I know of a creature the Clinic cannot brainwash. I believe Doctor Shy is acquainted with him. Normally, he is the one doing the brainwashing. If you bring him in and try to brainwash him, you will not succeed, no matter how hard you try. In fact, he might use his own brainwashing to free you from the Clinic.

He is more powerful than even the sisters. His brainwashing abilities are just the beginning. He is capable of bending reality to his will. He can easily turn the brainwashing tools into confetti, instantly end your life by removing the water from your body and leaving you as dry and dead as a mummy. He will turn you and your nurses into mashed potatoes, turn the building into a giant gingerbread house, instantly turn your blood into wine, water, chocolate milk, heck, with a snap of his fingers (claws?) he will make the entire Clinic and those who run it disappear as if they’ve never existed, and also reverse the brainwashing of the employees and patients. Or he could put himself in charge and make your dentistry a lot more chaotic.

Unless the Clinic’s brainwashing got rid of your reasoning and/or common sense, you know it’s best to leave Discord alone. If you decide to bring him in, then you may have just signed the death warrant for the entire Clinic. If you try to brainwash him into being a doctor, nurse, ambassador, or whatever, then the Clinic’s days are numbered, as are the days of you and your friends practitioning dentistry. Mark my words: The day you bring Discord in to be brainwashed will be the last day of the Equestrian Dential Clinic.

I’m very glad to see this series continue! Happy to visit Doctor Dash, too!

Damn…

That’s hot..
