Ask Lyra
Month
i dont even know what ur human OC loOKS LIKE, YOU NER—…omfg do u mean that re-color of that one actor. i s2g lyra.
no lol, human OC time is over. the joke’s already old, im so sorry.
1) If there’s one thing that’s consistent in all dimensions of all civilizations, it’s a once-a-year sale that makes ponies behave like lunatics.
… No offense, Princess Luna.
2) I do like the sound of Tim Curry’s voice…
3) Lyra: You know, I’ve never really paid attention to the lyrics of the song. They’re not describing a pirate, they’re talking about a sailor.
Bon-Bon: It is a little silly. Pirates are a dangerous sort. Oh, but I’ve just been so busy! Hopefully I’ll get to continuing that story soon!
4) That’s fine. That’s fine that you gave no advanced notice. That you sent this message four hours after everypony had already started gathering.
I’m not mad.
5) Because that’s something perfectly acceptable to say to somepony. “Boy howdy questioning your sexuality sure is a thing you should do!”
I’m fine, thank you.
1) Oh that’s right, dubstep exists. I had forgotten. On an unrelated note I’m now depressed.
Bon-Bon and I are still working through some issues. We got through last night alright at least.
2) Oh my Cels… Oh my God… Where the [omitted] have you been? Why did you suddenly come back?
3) I'ma be straight with ya. You need to talk less about murders during social gatherings. It’s not really appropriate.
4) You’re going to see if you can find B before you try staying at a shelter…
I’ve tried talking to B about it. He says he only knows were you lived back before you started working for the government. And that if you never moved he’s not taking you back there anyway. He also thinks this is an act. I tried to tell you, he doesn’t like you.
5) Bon-Bon: Yes. Thank you, Mike. I managed to piece that together on my own.
Lyra: I said I’m sorry! I was mad!
Bon-Bon: You know, Lyra, some of the most hurtful things anypony has ever said to me have come from you.
Lyra: That? You think that was hurtful?
Bon-Bon: And don’t compare it to how things were for you when you were growing up either.
Lyra: Yeah… Still working through some issues…
Twilight: Oh! Lyra! I wasn’t expecting to see you here!
Lyra: Yeah… I just wanted to come by to thank you again for your help. You know, personally.
Twilight: I was happy to help, of course. But to be honest I’m still a little uneasy about lying. I don’t feel that was the best decision.
Lyra: Bon-Bon’s been talking for years about expanding and hiring some help, but she’d never go through with it. She always thinks she’s looking so far ahead, but really she’s just afraid of the risks. Risks I can take for her. She wants to do it, but she’d never agree to me helping her unless she thought she could pay me back.
Twilight: And you’re sure this was the only way to make that happen?
Lyra: You’ve got your elements of harmony to guide you. But growing up I had a different set of rules to go by. A little lie here can lead to a greater truth down the road.
Twilight: But this isn’t some little white lie. She’s going to eventually find out that there is no government grant. Approximately a year from now, in fact.
Lyra: Hopefully by then it won’t matter…
is that a dance move?
i only know of the jitterbug song tbh.
you PUT THE BOOM-BOOM INTO MY HEAAARRRTT..!!
Twilight: According to this you work some… sixty hours a week!
Bon-Bon: No, I’m in the shop sixty hours a week. I work much more than that once I’m home. Especially during the busier half of the year.
Lyra: It’s not like you’re really working that entire time.
Bon-Bon: Oh, you mean like you’re not really working when you’re sitting in your little stall doing nothing most of the time? And for half the hours?
Lyra: I am-!
1) Hello, Vinyl! Didn’t really expect to hear from you on here!
2) Lyra: I don’t have my sexuality in question! You might have my sexuality in question, but I have no questions!
Bon-Bon: [Audiable exhale]
3) I’ve seen fanatical artwork where Bon-Bon was shoving a bunch of red-ringed X-Box 360s down my throat. What you said doesn’t even register on Lyra’s creepy meter anymore.
4) Ah, yes. The punk-rock anthem. All rise!
5) Bon-Bon: Really? Disappointed, sure. But shocked? I’m not trying to call into question your detective-ing ability or anything…
Lyra: I maintain that this whole thing is a load of crap. “Oh no! Denial!” Whatever…
Lyra: I don’t believe this…
Bon-Bon: Thank you so much for seeing us, your highness!
Princess Twilight Sparkle: It’s my pleasure! I’m delighted by this opportunity!
Lyra: I don’t belieeeeeeeeve this…
1) Bon-Bon: I’m sorry, Black Strawberry, but this isn’t really a good time. Lyra and I are going through a bit of a… Okay, things are terrible between us at the moment. I don’t feel we need anything, or anypony else complicating matters further. There is a shelter in Ponyville. If you haven’t been staying there or have nopony else to call on, I would recommend it over the streets.
Bon-Bon: … I’m sorry. This must seem terribly rude and inconsiderate. I’d just really rather not add another element to this… mess… Things have gotten out of hoof as is.
2) Lyra: My third coltfriend was the soccer player. My second was the… He saved my life once… you know…?
Bon-Bon: I know, Lyra.
3) It’s not like it all happens on the same day.
4) Lyra: I’m a little preoccupied at the moment. Even without the work schedule added in.
Bon-Bon: … Because you work so much more than I do…
Lyra: You know what, Bon-Bon?! I-!
5) I don’t know how to play a guitar. I can only play the sitar a little. And only while it’s laying down; I can’t actually play it while I’m holding it, which makes live performances a little difficult. Nevermind that the song is eighteen minutes long (Edit: Content advisory) and I don’t think I could kept it going the entire time.
?: I’m glad you could both make it. As this concerns both of you I feel it is a necessity.
Bon-Bon: Of course!
Lyra: Sure thing, Doc. Nopony else I’d rather be trapped in a room with against my will than you.
?: Thank you. Once again, I am Doctor Reification. We are here today to continue the discussion our friend Lyra and her style of alcohol consumption-

Bon-Bon: Welcome home, Lyra. Enjoy your shift?
Lyra: Ugh… Don’t you have work in the morning?
Bon-Bon: I’ll manage. I hope you didn’t think this was over.
[Doorknob turn]
[LOUD VIBRATION]
Lyra: Ahgh! Ga-ha-hod! My head!
Bon-Bon: Well you really did it this time, Lyra.
Lyra: Go away!
1) To be honest, I know practically nothing about it. Just one of those things I missed out on growing up.
2) The main reason I hate Shulk so much is because I can’t play him worth a crap, but other ponies can bust my tail with him.
3) Hmm… Nothing I can think of. There was always the notion that colts are less sophisticated than fillies, but it was never connected to illness. It was just considered their natural disposition. Suffice to say that phrase “boys will be boys” never had an apologetic air to it.
5) You were some kind of government researcher for magic. But I don’t know where you live.
Don’t worry about them. They’re harmless.
1) You’re like a ninja or somethin’. You keep disappearing.
2) Look at that, a special agent offering their help!
3) Hmm… I don’t think having a daughter appointed to princess status automatically makes you a queen. I mean, if it did, she would have already been a queen when Shining Armor married Princess Cadance and became a prince. But it’s something to look into!
4) I don’t have the answer to that, Strawberry. And I said you were a powerful unicorn, not a penultimate wizard with a might beyond the collective strength of all the princess’s combined. I’ve often found myself wondering about the cat thing too, though. You were kind of eccentric. No offense.
1) Uh… I know Pac-Man is pretty good in Smash. It’s just that his grab is so terrible that fighting against ponies who shield a lot can be tough.
2) When you get your memory back I need to remember to remind you that B doesn’t like you… That sentence sounds off… Anyway.
Do you remember any of your spells? You were a pretty strong unicorn magician. Used to turn into a cat for months on end.
((It’s only the artist’s style, but twilight will never know.))
1) I worked a relief shift today. It’s where I only work a booth while somepony else takes a break, and then I ride a train to the next station and do it again. We probably missed each other.
2) You’re in luck! I know all about this sort of thing. In my experience, the best solution is to search for yourself! Where you used to work might be a good place to start.
3) I have! And the only thing that was a little weird was the TwiPie (as I’ve said in the past, we all know better than to ship TwiPie). As a story, it was fantastic and filled with neat little jokes on item/enemy descriptions that you wouldn’t get in any other form of media. Artistically it did the retro-style right, using the limitation on visuals as a tool instead of an excuse. But mechanically it was a poorly balanced slog. Characters, their abilities, enemies, bosses, items, equipment, money; it was all over the place in terms of difficulty/accessibility. It needed much better balancing/progression than what it had.
4) I think I’ve played the game long enough at this point. I like it! It continues to be fun and when the online mode isn’t going into slow-motion because someone’s latency is too high, it’s a constant source of entertainment! The balancing seems to be a lot better than the previous games, too. I always seem to find myself at home with Pikachu in this series, but for some reason this time around I’m doing some serious damage with Charizard of all fighters.
oh. who the fff—rick is Tootsie’s dad??? Have i never noticed him at these events??
well, THANK YOU TOOTSIE ROLL’S MYSTERIOUS DAD.
Champagne. He’s usually the boy pony sitting next to the girl pony that keeps contorting her mouth and gasping at the things you do and say.
I’m pretty sure she, Tootsie’s mother, also wants to have you committed, but I guess that’s a little off topic.
LOL really? Why??
is it because young Tootsie Roll needs a positive male influence
that isnt a bearin her life? THats exactly it. isnt it.WELL ALRIGHT…WE WILL SEE…I WILL POSSIBLY SWING BY WITH MORE DESTRUCTION THIS YEAR!!—I MEAN FUN.
Actually, it’s because Tootsie’s dad thinks you’re hilarious. Probably in the same way that one would think a clown is hilarious.
Let’s… try not to talk about Krastos, please.
1) Bon-Bon: That sounds awful. Although…
2) Absolutely! Everypony is invited to Thanksgiving again! Even sexxi-bbz!
3) Oh, Hearthswarming I wouldn’t mind so much. But Nightmare Night is a festival. It’s not technically a holiday so I didn’t get overtime.
4) Well, it wasn’t great, but it was better than it began. So there’s that at least. Thanks!
5) No. If you couldn’t tell, I’ve intentionally omitted specific aspects of the event so as to not attract unwanted attention. I’ve never even used the public name of the thing to avoid the possibility of a post of mine being connected via tags. If you want to learn about it, I can give you a place to start. But if you want to know more or check different sources, you’ll have to research it yourself.
1) Well now… I’ve never heard it called that before.
2) Bon-Bon: That doesn’t sound right… Even high school students would be back to their studies by then. Who would take those jobs?
3) It didn’t ultimately matter. I worked all night.
4) I got to eat candy, but I didn’t really dress up much.
Yes, the candy was stolen.
5) Bon-Bon: Haha! We showed this to Tootsie before Nightmare Night and she almost started crying about how she didn’t want twigs in her mane! But since we both had to work, she wound up traveling with a group.
