Ask Lyra

1) To be honest, I’m not sure. I’ve only seen pegasus skiers on television.

2) Not fond of this particular one.

3) Pretty catchy! Is that from something?

4) Have I been asked this before?

5) Really? Is that where they landed after they fell off the face of Equestria?

Well, if I happen to see it on I’ll certainly give it a try.

6) Pfffffffffffffft! What a bunch of third grade bull[omitted]!

If it were that simple we’d have resolved it by now. (Parental advisory for that tumblr.)

7) Ankle Digit.

8) You go right-the-hay on. You’ll go from fluffy to flat.

1) [Digit Crack]

Give me owies, huh?

[Digit Crack]

2) Not so good.

3) Can you believe this pony? Time to go Bon-Bon.

image

4) Skittles? That would be untrue. Skittles are bomb.

5) No.

6) I and I usually agree, seen?

If you mean meta powers, usually not over trivial matters.

7 & 8) Pfft. I doubt that. Maybe a Veritech Fighter would stand a chance.

9) Isn’t the the one that’s weak to leaves? Not even metal leaves, just leaves.

10) J-Disco/Hip-hop? That’s a new one.

11) Pacifism is a good idea. If you try to make it your unchanging, lifelong philosophy, you might run into some serious problems.

All things in balance.

12) Sometimes even if they aren’t willing to risk it.

But best of luck to you!

1) Unfortunately not. They ran out of movies. All good things must come to an end.

2) Ponies also want more out of us. We’re expected to be able to clap our hooves together and make a rainbow dash across the sky.

The reality is, unless you’re name is Twilight Sparkle, the best most of us can do is something a pegasus or earth pony would be able to do without magic. Telekinesis is convenient; it’s not a game changer. I can manipulate sound and I’m still not half the musician Octavia is.

3) In a fantasy setting, sure. Good stuff. In reality, a lot of misplaced effort. Better off joining the guard and maybe providing somepony with actual help.

4) Coordination comes with practice, just like anything else.

5) This is sounding more and more like a Monkey Island-style adventure game.

6) In short, pretty much, yeah. I check every now and again but all I ever see is reblogged stuff.

7) What are you arguing? I mean, regardless things happen everyday; doesn’t make them related. I just don’t know what point you’re trying to support.

8) Same way I watch the Super Bowl; human television. And I’m pretty sure the princess is too busy to watch even good sitcoms, let-alone bad ones.

9) Well that’s good at least. Do you get any hazard pay for any of this, though? Things seem to go wrong a lot.

1) Sounds sort of familiar.

2) I’ve never played it before; only seen a few videos.

3) Being the utopia that we are, our world has no analog to Charlie Sheen or Two and a Half Men. Likewise there is no Big Bang Theory.

So, no.

4) Dun Dun Da-Da. I mean, in the history of music I can’t think of a single other time where you don’t want to be noticed while preforming. Plus, that was live. Usually I just do a few recordings and overlap them.

If you meant technically difficult, Jingle Bell Jazz. This was way out of my league and required a bunch of practice, even in doing multiple recordings. If the sheet music wasn’t so precise, there’s no way I could have got even halfway through it.

On the other hoof, this was the easiest.

5) First time was theft. Then theft. Theft. Theft. Theft. Then there was a theft. And another theft. Hopefully a trend has formed. I’ve never been tried for murder, and in regards to the other part, I think that’s just an unfortunate human thing.

6) No offense, Strawberry, but am I supposed to be surprised? You seem to change species every three months or so.

What happened this time?

1) How did you…? Nevermind.

Sorry you got caught. I’ve spent more than a few nights in the cooler myself.

2) That sounds like an excellent end to the day. Should be there at the top of the hour.

imageimage

1) Me too! With you, that is.

It was… interesting to watch you haggle.

2) [Audible sigh]

3) [Tap] [Tap] [Tap]

4) Yeah, sure.

And it would be equinewolf or wolf pony. Were means man.

5) [Audible sigh]

You know, I have a thick skin, but I’m not numb.

6) Always nice to spend time with Boscov.

7) I obviously don’t know what you’re talking about, then.

8) Surprised, certainly, but I can’t see any reason why I should mind.

9) Yes, I’m aware there’s a character on that My Little Human show that the toy-line has confirmed to be named Lyra. I don’t see what the big deal is; she doesn’t even say anything until the season 2 finale.

I like Pinkerton, anyway. That episode where he babysat was hilarious, and I thought it really rounded out his character too!

10) Can you put it in the form of a question?

11) Just… don’t credit me in the novel or anything.

12) I would doubt it. Maybe if they had Mister Wizard on their side too.

13) [omitted] you.

Let’s see what the fallout is after that picture…

I think it already is. I think you should come clean, or otherwise I’m gonna grill you on this until you’re well done. You can always just, you know, tell me privately if it’s so embarrassing.

Excuse me, Mister Cake, but I believe I’m allowed to find somepony attractive without having to stand trial. It doesn’t mean I want to go out with you or break up your marriage, but I just know it’s going to get spun around that way. Which is why I wanted to let it go.

Now can we drop it? I’m pretty sure my bearfriend doesn’t want to read about this any further.

carrotcake-replies replied to your post: 1) Yes you did. Let me fast forward for you. 2)…
I just, uh, what?

1) Hey! That could be fun! We’ve never gone shopping before. Considering all the cooking you do, I imagine you must know some good spots to pick up spices and foreign ingredients!

2) Twice?! Who said he was twice as old as me?! He’d be- He’d be [omitted]-near fifty* if he was twice as old as me!

3) No one! Nothing!

It was just… Uh…

Look, lets not make this weird…

er

* In human years

image

1) Yes you did. Let me fast forward for you.

2) If the M stands for mother… then the D would stand for Dad? No… No.

I mean, Mr. Cake is a nice guy and all but-…

Why the [omitted] did my mind go there? Come on Lyra… Get it together, girl…

3) That’s why they’re so spicy.

Ew. Grossed myself out.

4) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You can insult me however you wish, but you will not insult my friends on my page. And most certainly not Sweetie Belle or Tootsie.

image

1) We have one weird anon here lately.

2) Orange juice, but I remember those little grape juice boxes my primary and junior high school would give out being pretty good.

I’d take Apple Kiwi Strawberry, if you have it.

3) No. The sun shall never shine as brightly and water will never taste as crisp.

Less of sarcasm and more melodramatic. It was pretty painful to sit through.

1) Get a job. Alternately, get involved in anything that stretches beyond the time you presently have available and requires a task to be completed without fail. Should find that porn becomes a much lower priority when your free time is substantially reduced.

Remember, though; if it’s something you enjoy doing and it doesn’t harm anypony, it’s legitimacy as a form of entertainment isn’t reduced just because it’s not socially accepted. If you have an addiction, reduction without elimination is an option.

4) Congratulations, you’ve completely ruined the entire series for me. Thanks a lot.

image

1) Not following, sorry.

2) What do you think?

Nevermind. The answer is no.

3) There are no breaks… on the shove-my-hoof-up-your-[omitted] train!

4) That certainly is quite a ‘dour. Does this help at all, Mister Denton?

imageimage

1) Great! I don’t know if it’s this summer mating thing or because the glue demand is lower, but I get to see him while he isn’t working more often!

2) Wouldn’t you know it.

3) What ponies do in their freetime, as long as it doesn’t hurt anypony, is none of my business.

4) Seeing as we wouldn’t know the difference, would it matter?

5) I’m afraid I can’t help you there. I was a thief and lived off of others, but I don’t recommend it.

6) Ordinarily I’d give you the whole government answer. But as far as the tax thing, you’re better off sprouting wings and/or a horn and becoming an alicorn. That law is one of the oldest ones in Equestria. It was created when the three races settled their differences and formed a united government. It can suck, certainly, but that’s the point. You can’t really escape it. Everypony is taxed, unless you somehow don’t own anything. And good luck proving that.

7) This is an excellent example why Macross/Robotech is better than Gundam. Gundam is just a lot of Dragon Ball Z energy levels and endless babbling mixed with horribly attempted emotion.

1) Oh yeah. That’s me. I know all there is to know about humans.

I will tell you, though. This is the largest pompadour I’ve ever seen.

2) You got me there. You go so far as to set up three-ring circuses just to try obviously guilty ponies and waste everypony’s time and government money on somepony you’re just going to kill anyway.

I don’t know if we have the death penalty or not. Like I said, you do something that bad, there is no trial.
