Canterlot Disco Ball



The disco ball from Canterlot plays disco music and creates a vivid light show, particularly when it is smashed into the ground or lit up by a laser.

Background
Possibly for entertainment and keeping "Pinkie's Grand |Galloping Gala Party" eternal, this ball makes Agent MoonFlank smile and [REDACTED] groan. While it probably should have been packed tightly away in a box where it couldn't have rolled to freedom, when it did make contact with the floor it played ["20% Cooler"] by Ken Ashcorp, ironically starting with the lyrics "Like a rebel in a bunker getting shelled with a mortar" shortly after impact.

[REDACTED] apparently would be happy if the ball would just shut up.

How it Works
According to [REDACTED], this artifact operates by trapping "desires refracted by light, party astrosphere and tons of Bacardi into a disco ball."

When activated, it "projects yearnings and cravings. It imparts a grim stampeding inpony against anything decent," so it basically makes you feel the same way the ponies who partied at the Grand Galloping Gala did.

Presumably, after hanging so long in the Canterlot Ball Room, the ball absorbed the energy of the place and, as a result, has been keeping the party "alive."

In an anthropomorphic sense, the disco ball represents one of the more "playful" artifacts and appears to simply enjoy having a good time. In the same sense, it appeared to be willing to help recapture Nightmare Moon's spirit for storage.

When it was lit up again by the laser [REDACTED] had rigged, it started broadcasting the line "Twilight, Sparkle, up in the party" from ["20% Cooler"].

Also at the incident, the artifact seemed to show a sign of sentience when after the agents left, it sparked with a glow of energy and began to sing to itself again, like it was in a good mood now that Nightmare Moon was recaptured and it was hanging like it had been in the Canterlot Ballroom where it was once housed.
