1) And what a lovely shade of red.

2) You’re incredible! Thank you!

Maybe too incredible. I feel inadequate as a writer by comparison.

3) No habla español.

4) No. I can’t control it. It just happen sometimes.

5) Meta powers says that might be wise.

theblackstrawberry asked: That was hard to sit through... not going to lie, I had to restrain myself from casting a barrier. I guess your right... Things that hit closer to home, to ponies and places you care about hurt more....

I hate to break this to you, but that was a good memory.

For whatever reason he may have done it, he stuck his neck out to save my life. That as the first time anypony had ever put themselves in harm’s way for my sake.

krastosthegluemaker-blog asked: Lyra, I... Wait for me, I'll be there soon.

I’ll… I’ll be here.

Anonymous asked: Are we talking about the same Blues Noteworthy here?

I never dated Blues.

I’ve never given the names of any of the three ponies I seriously dated before Boscov.

Anonymous asked: So what if he betrayed you? Everyone betrays everyone else. I could make Boscov betray both himself and you by asking him who he would save if both you and Sweetie Belle were in danger, and if he could only save one of you. I might just go do that.

No. You have no idea. You have no idea what I learned when I was down in the belly- In the-In the very pit of it all!

It extends all the way to the tension at the Griffin border. I loved him, and he betrayed me. Betrayed everything I stood against. All the ponies I watched… And he was part of it…

He can… He can rot.

1) That story, along with a few others, have already been told. He betrayed me.

2) I have no idea who or what you’re talking about.

Uh… Lets see…

This one time me and some friends were hanging out at the video game store. I’ve mentioned the place before. Anyway, there was this guy I’d seen a few times before there too. He was kinda athletic and funny and he was kicking everypony’s behind at Smash Bros. The original. He asked me out and I said yes. Everypony giggled like immature foals.

As I was walking down the alley to meet him the following night, I got real nervous ‘cause I realized where I was. This wasn’t just an opposing gang’s territory, as I was a forced member of a gang at the time. This was the heart of an opposing gang’s territory. I might as well have been walking into the inner sanctum. I eventually wised up, but it was too late. Some tough looking ponies recognized me and “directed” me further on.

Before they gagged me, somepony must have heard my screams because a blue hoof reached out from the darkness and smashed one of their heads against a wall before dragging him into the shadows. The other three grabbed me and backed into the light. Evidently this had happened before, because the colt nearest to me threw me to the ground and placed his hoof on my head. I couldn’t understand much because of the intense headache I was getting from the pressure he was applying, but there was something about whoever attacked leaving or he’d crush my head!

Other than the ringing in my ears, it got real quiet. For several minutes there was nothing. The other two started to fan out a little, probably to look for the guy that was dragged off. They walked into the darkness. A few more minutes passed and they hadn’t come back. The last guy had lost all his energy pushing on my head, so he was literally standing on me by this point to make sure I was immobilized. When that blue colt came down from the warehouse rooftop on top of him, I heard his ankle snap before he could even fight back.

When it was over. The blue colt helped me up; the side of my face was bleeding from being forced down on a small rock the whole time. He asked if I was alright and told me to run; that his rescue had taken too long and more would be here soon. If I just booked as fast as I could down the straight path, I’d get out before more could encircle the area. I wanted to ask where he came from, why he was here, and why he saved me, but I wouldn’t get that chance for a good long while. I was more afraid than I was curious, so I turned and ran. I wouldn’t see him again for close to a year.

That was the first time I met my second coltfriend.

Well, I haven’t adopted Sweetie Belle; she still has her parents. I just take care of her.
But thanks! This was great! I built my house outta strong moral fiber!
Come at me, timberwolf!

1) Even if I was enough of a rat [omitted] to do something so completely insensitive, that’s a very dangerous solution. If something happens to Boscov, how am I suppose to take care of him and me if I don’t have a job?

2) About as much as their own funeral.

I recommend cremation. Coffins are expensive.

3) I’m confused. How are we…? I mean…

4) Probably do some research and appoint somepony else in my stead. Best will I can show is the recognition that I’m totally unfit to lead a town.

5) I have not, no.

6) Look, for the last time, I’m not allowed to talk about Bon-Bon’s massive bondage gear collection.

Heh heh heh…

I’m just playing. She does have a whip, though. Whenever I ask about it, she keeps saying something cryptic like, “I’ll have to tell you about that little adventure some other time.”

Dude, I can barely make out the distinctive instruments. This is exactly what I’m talking about when I say provide sheet music. I’m delighted that you think that’s rudimentary. I don’t know; maybe to everypony else it is. But I can’t play that without sheet music.

That aside, the only part of that piece I’d really want to play anyway is the Celtic flute. And I don’t know how to play the flute.

“Brilliant!” hails Lyra. “I recognized the reference right away with only minimal outside knowledge.”

1) With a cripple… What else are we considering crippled these days? A slightly misaligned back? A crocked nose?

I don’t know what game you’re talking about. Can’t say I pay much attention to the dating aspect of any game, let alone the dating sim genre.

2) Well! This was a nice thing to find before I go to work! Thanks a lot!

1) What is this, a cartoon? That’s not how a bear’s coat works!

2) “Gotta go fast,” you say…

Nah, let’s go in a different direction.

3) Thanks, bro; good look.

4) Haven’t I been asked this before?

5) Ka-I-believe-I’ve-got-enough-going-on-in-my-life-right-now-thank-you-very-much.

[redacted]yesrainbowdash replied to your post: Actually, I am a fairly experienced writer. I’m a…
I would be happy to read anything you write, Lyra! I could also help proofread and offer suggestions for revision if you’d like, but editing a first draft is a long ways off unless you’ve been working on something already. Either way, good luck!

1) Bat works just as well and is infinitely less convoluted to attain.

2) The main problem is if anypony would be willing to pay to read something I write.

Thanks, though!
