Ask Lyra

1) … Huh?

2) If I find any money in the sofa, that would have to go toward paying bills.

3) It didn’t before you walked in.

So get out.

4) Why sure! I can’t imagine how this could go wrong!

5) Yes?

6) Ye~s?

7) Otacon! Shut Up!

1) I’m sure you’d be shocked to hear that I don’t approve. Even if their songs or albums are less than appropriate, band names at least need to be acceptable to bring up in polite conversation.

2) I don’t have a surname. Evidently other Lyras do.

3) Many times.

4) I’m a little finicky with my mane. You can brush the back if you really want to.

5) Recently? Nothing I guess. But when we have clean, renewable power, why would we ever want to leave the planet?

6) I… don’t really have any desire to cook. I guess it couldn’t hurt to try learning again.

7) The original. I don’t particularly favor either, but the other one just sounds like a dance mix; they’re pretty common and carry so many similarities between one another that the flavor of the original piece is often lost.

Also, I’m not linking the remix. The accompanying video is sort of violent.

1) I love her like I love her. I don’t know how to describe it.

2) No. You can hug me, but if your hooves start to wonder I'ma drop you like a bad habit.

3) Characterized by swearing? That sounds a little stereotypical, your alternate majesty. In fact, a short search later and it just sounds like a derogatory term all together.

4) I don’t have any money.

5) What does the sign say?

6) Mare right’s activists? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Do you have the right plane of existence?

I’m all for equal rights, though. I’m right there with you, stud.

1) Depends on opinion, I suppose.

2) You got me… But I’m only admitting to it because they’re all gone! Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

3) You have to be charismatic and your presence has to be desired at the location in question.

You know that line “The party don’t start till I walk in?” That’s fashionably late. There was a gathering. You show up. Now it’s a party. If you aren’t fashionably late, you just miss the party.

4) Okay.

5) What’s this “of it’s time” garbage? It’s still one of the best!

Also, I have no idea about the casting while moving thing. Generally the faster you’re going the harder it is to cast, so it would certainly be a challenge.

Also, favorite song time!

6) Sound advice. I think studies show that eight is closer to the maximum hours of sleep you should get a day, though.

7) Uh… Photos of the chocolate truffles?

1) I’m not sure I understand. Big Macintosh is pretty red all over, though.

2) Generally because you subconsciously take for granted that a phenomenon you elevated from days past will remain true throughout the ages. When confronted with irrefutable evidence to the contrary… it makes you crai-crai.

3) There’s just lots of Lyras. There’s also Lyras from alternate dimensions. I don’t think there is a real Lyra.

I mean, I don’t really question it. It’s just a thing. Always has been.

4) I did. See seemed to enjoy it, but I think she was just being polite. Her pallet is more… discerning.

5) No, you may not. I find your fixation with my horn disturbing.

6) I don’t know, yesterday was mighty fine.

7) There’s nothing wrong with it, though that’s a psychological association you might want to conquer at some point. That could be socially debilitating around here.

1) Nothing any more wrong than your traditional body modification, at least in principle. I just… I don’t know. I-I just don’t know.

2) I don’t agree to that. I think misunderstandings are reacted to more harshly than they should be.

3) I have no idea how, but I never paid enough attention to that song to realize that’s what they were spelling! I feel like a complete idiot.

4) That’s not very nice.

5) ooOOoo. This doesn’t sound like the usual mindless, boring, getting-to-know-you chit-chat.

6) Oh. You know. Things.

Private things.

7) You’re losing the crowd. Try something different.

1) I don’t know. Something like twenty? What I post is a pretty good estimation of what I got that day, unless I’m behind. Which I’m presently not!

2) Changing my memories isn’t suddenly going to fix anything.

3) “I could get to the top with my eyes closed!”

“Yeah! But could you do it with your legs closed?”

4) Well you’re certainly not getting invited to the next dinner party.

5) The same reason you don’t cheat in multiplayer games. You ruin everypony else’s fun and no pony wants you around anymore.

A little crude, but the same basic idea.

6) I have no idea. Maybe ask Colgate? Or was it Romana? … Minuette? Whatever she’s going by these days.

image

1) Okay! Any ideas in mind?

2) Grr! I’m big tough pony! Rawr! I’m gonna kill you dead!

3) The thought of my entire world being just a dream creeps me out. Pyramid Head is just a character from a video game.

4) That depends, are you the fluffy pony that’s already sent me a few messages?

If not, hey! There’s this fluffy pony that’s sent me a few messages!

5) Fish are friends, not food.

6) Sounds like you need hangover-prevention lifestyle changes.

Blackouts are bad, mmkay?

7) If the lions haven’t eaten in three years, they’re dead.

1) How would anypony’s life play out if not for the track they currently ride?

2) If nothing else, I’d like that so non-unicorn/pegasus would stop being so hard on themselves.

3) There are traveling performance troops. I’ve never heard of a freak show. Well, outside of these.

4) Oh no! I wasn’t offended! I’d just never seen anything like that before and wasn’t prepared. It was pretty funny!

5) Absolutely!

Er… Not right now. I’m sort of waiting for Boscov right now. But anytime you’re in the area!

6) Seeing as I don’t have one, no.

7) Olive juice, too.

1) I would have said alright, but I’m not really comfortable hugging somepony after they just called me that.

2) Remember when I said interim? That means before you develop that kind of technology.

3) Why?

4) How about a chocolate helicopter instead?

5) I remember this one dream I had a couple of times about home invasion, only it was my home. I’d walk around and could see the edge of something pass around a corner whenever I got close. Then the last time it would happen there’d be no other corners to go around, and I’d follow it and then some kind of monster would lunge at me.

Maybe not the scariest, but it would always wake me up with a jump. That and the ones about falling. I’d always be trying to help somepony in those, but I’d fail and we’d all fall.

6) I… Uh… Wow… I only said that because they rhymed. These are weird. (Warning: … I don’t know? It looks like a children’s cartoon that takes place in an erotic dance hall. Nothing explicit, but there’s some suggestive animation.)

7) No. They’re mine now. My new castanet.

1) Ka-Do I even need to say it?

2) Sounds like a date, honey bunny!

3) Yes, I think I get it. As for your earlier question, that’s hard to say. From my perspective crime was pretty rampant. I have no idea how bad it really was per capita; I don’t have access to records like that.

Either way, it’s not like that anymore.

4) They’re two different methods of immersion. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other. Both can be screwed up. I prefer story stuff to be told to me while I’m playing and/or for stuff to take place around me while I’m playing. Pausing the action for things like cutscenes can offer you a break, but it can also pull you out of the experience. On the other hoof, it can also provide you with much more clarity about what’s going on than just com links/disembodied voices.

You know, I think a mix of both would be my preference.

5) Nothing about this ask sounds like anything that would happen.

6) I know this was sent before hoof, but like I said here, there isn’t much I can record right now music-wise given my computer situation. Even still, I only found music for the original track, not the remix.

Sorry, Rainbow. If you really want me to I can record and upload just the melody, but without so much as a bass it’s going to sound pretty poor.

7) Aren’t you d-? No. I guess This could be from before that.

Salut? How can I help you?

I can’t help but find this a little funny on coincidence alone.

Source is the artist, but they don’t seem to have this posted there.

1) So I should hug myself? What you’re saying is that when I think about you I should hug myself.

2) Are you sure you didn’t mean CCGGAAG?

By the way, that’s about the extent of what I can record safely on this computer in it’s present state. Short, unlayered, single instrument. It’s why I haven’t uploaded anything.

3) You should stop typing.

4) I did, at first. It doesn’t seem to matter. This Lyra’s parents are uppercrust, this one’s aren’t. It’s all so inconsistent.

5) Hmm… I don’t know how well I can answer that.

The short version is that luck isn’t a talent, but a combination of factors that can make one appear to be lucky can be.

6) I don’t know. Maybe. She’s at work right now so probably not. She’s probably makin’ gum drops or somethin’.

7) Ye~ah… Good luck raising the sun and moon/controlling the weather in the interim.
