theblackstrawberry asked: Gimmie a notice when you can hang out please~
Sorry, Strawberry. I have work this week and when I get home I have to work on trying to fix my desktop.
Okay, so this is what I managed to get out of her in between sobs.
Sweetie was trying to play something with Ruby. I think it was Penguin Club. An overlay popup ad came up and she tried to click off of it, but it moved. It was one of those ads that expand if you mouse over them. Anyway, she accidentally clicked it and it put some horribly evasive virus on my desktop that won’t let me open a single program. It just keeps telling me to buy their stupid anti-virus scam.
Point being, I can’t work on any music until this is fixed. Can’t play City of Ponies either.
Your right forehoof twitches. Even if time wasn’t short and ponies lives weren’t in danger, you would never do such a thing in front of your mentor! In a way, his opinion is more important to you than even your family’s! The day he accepted you as his apprentice was the best day of your life! It was vindication for everything that had happened to you since the day you got your cutie mark. Maybe even before that! You would literally rather die than embarrass yourself in front of him.
Certainly, you love your family more, but your sister wasn’t exactly pleased to hear about you moving away. And despite his support, deep down you think your brother was hoping you’d fail so you’d return home to the farm.
You promise your master you’ll do your best, which he doesn’t seem to know how to answer to. He still may not believe you. You say your goodbyes and he wishes you well before you leave.
You head to the gardening store to pick up a spade, getting strange glances from ponies as you march about loaded down like you’re preparing for the apocalypse. You use some of your money buying the spade, which fits neatly into one of your bags.
You pause for a moment, alone, standing around the center of town and still getting some awkward glances because of all the bags you’re carrying. You still feel unsure about heading back up the mountain, but that might just be fear.
Bag 1: Smithing Tools+Multitool/(3) Blankets.
Bag 2: Ample Food/Ample Water.
Bag 3: Scarf+Lighter+Towel+Spade+Small Space/Rope.

I’m a little sleepy. Sweetie and I just got back from Boscov’s and I have work in the morning.
You begin to sing the classic foal’s song immortalized by ponynet shenanigans. Unfortunately, those are the only words to the song you know, so you don’t get very far.
Then you start explaining about butterflies, but quickly realize your teacher has already grown annoyed with your antics.
After that you sigh and tell him the truth. Minus the voices in your head part, because that makes you sound crazy. The mountain, the two ponies, the shadows, and how they can’t leave. As you could have predicted he doesn’t believe you, which isn’t fair! You’re an honest pony when things get serious! He seems insistent on this being the product of too much television, video games, or internet before bed.
Distraught and out of ideas you… you hug him and begin crying. You say you love him and that you’re scared for the two ponies you met. He pulls away from you and looks deep into your eyes. He seems to find something earnest deep inside because when he turns away, it’s to grab the rope again and hoof it over to you.
You hug him again and thank him. He replies only by telling you to be careful with whatever it is you’re doing. He doesn’t want to have to start training a new apprentice.
theblackstrawberry asked: is it okay to give you a hug?
I think so, but I’m still at Boscov’s.

At first I thought it was just some big ol’ troll and I was playing along with it for laughs. I guess by the time I realized it wasn’t a joke, the notion was strong enough in my mind to not be completely put off by it.
Still, it’s a little weird if you think about it for too long.
I’m never sure if I’m talking to a pony or a fan of ponies anymore, so I don’t use it as often.
I eventually found the song. Knowing the chorus would have helped!

Anonymous asked: what does it mean when a bed smell like brunt carrots?
Do smashed carrots have a specific smell I’m not aware of, or are they carrots with a great burden?
I couldn’t tell you, brony.

Well, you got one part right. Sweetie and I are spending the night here.
With Bon-Bon spending the night in Canterlot, it just made sense.
Anonymous asked: waaaaaaaa, segregation, yeah. Sabba doo Baghdad
I got segregation out of that.
Not a fan, but sometimes it’s necessary. In public school foals are segregated by species at some point to learn about their specific racial differences.
Unicorn about magic.
Pegasus about flying.
Earth ponies about nature, and advanced physical education.
In college, you can take classes on the other subjects as a humanities credit. Kind of weird if you’re a Unicorn or a Pegasus getting a humanities credit for P.E.
I’ve been looking on my manedroid, maybe somepony can help me.
I heard Rarity singing some song yesterday and it’s stuck in my head. It went something like:
“At home at the opera, on a fancy yacht.
Becoming the talk, the talk of all of Canterlot.
I’m the crème de la crème, not just another Jane Doe, yeah!”
Can anypony help? This thing is an earwig and it won’t leave me alone!
Anonymous asked: I didn't mean to sound that stupid, sorry. What I meant was something like this: Is hugging Boscov like hugging something incredibly soft and warm but with a skeleton in it?
If you’re earnest, you still did a pretty poor job of not sounding like a troll.
If you want to remove all intimacy, it’s like being hugged with a plush blanket between you and the hugger. But it means more than that to me.
