Have you heard this being sung at an orphanage?

Abridged sucks.

But we did sing this once or twice.

No wait, not that one, this one!

I didn’t grow up in an orphanage.

krastosthegluemaker-blog asked: Hi Lyra. Hope I arrived at a good time.

Very punctual!

I’ll talk to everypony later!

askagentgummy-blog asked: *glomp* Your hair tastes minty, are you related to Colgate?

No, I just use mint-scented shampoo.

Also, leggo! I have a date to prepare for and you’re messing up my hair!

Anonymous asked: For what it's worth, I think he'd make a great father figure. I mean, I guess -- we don't really have fathers (or mothers) down here, so I can only guess as to what it's like! ~ ask-seapony-lyra

I guess that’s another thing we have in common.

Being an orphan, I’m not entirely sure how it works either.

Anonymous asked: Awesome -- I'm happy for the both of you! Krastos seems like a good guy. If I were into the whole... falling-in-love-which-for-me-would-mean-certain-death thing, I would totally be into him, too! ~ ask-seapony-lyra

Thanks!

But, I’m not really ‘in love’ yet. I’m giving it a shot. He’s a nice guy; very polite and talented, but also not afraid to speak his mind. And I think he could be a great father figure to Sweetie!

I hope I’m not asking too much of him with that last part, though…

unicyclistperiscopes asked: You're The Pony Krastos Has A Thing For! I Don't Know Why I Didn't Guess That! I Knew He Had A Crush On A Pony But I Didn't Know It Was You. What Did You Say To Him? Good Luck On Your Date Btw.

I didn’t know right away, but I started to piece it together.

Once I had things sorted out with York, I just asked him if it was me. I gotta work all next week; don’t really have time to beat-around-the-bush.

And thanks! Since we already know one another, we’re skipping the whole ‘first date’ thing and moving on to the fancy restaurant atmosphere!

Anonymous asked: Are you going out on a dinner date lyra?

Ma~ybe…

Mister Special Agent York and I came to an understanding, that we should just be friends. And Boscov admitted something to me (that, truthfully, I’d figured for a little over a week).

krastosthegluemaker-blog asked: Okay, see you then.

Okay!

On a related note, I’ll be unavailable in about three hours while out to dinner.

Anonymous asked: Have you ever saved some pony's life?

Maybe… Indirectly, maybe my actions have stopped somepony from dying…

Have I ever stood over somepony hanging from the brink and pulled them back to safety? No… I was always either too late…

Sorry, this isn’t a subject I’m fond of… I think that’s it from me for tonight.

Anonymous asked: What is your opinion of cheese?

I love cheese!

Cheesy tortillas are the bomb!

dreamofhircine asked: If that's some convoluted logic you're trying to pull to get everypony to refer to you as a person from now on I don't think it's working.

Uh… No.

dreamofhircine asked: What's even worse about that gag is that it operates on an additional, mocking level, in which they subtly bring up the allegations of you wishing to be a person.

“Person” and “people” are just terms denoting any sentient creature.

Ponies just tend to call everypony a pony as slang. I mean, most of the time that’s who you’re talking to.

theblackstrawberry asked: would you like to hang out tomorrow?

Well… That’s sort of up in the air.

I need to hear back from a bear.

Anonymous asked: *ding dong* dear lyra, you are a wonderful person. inclosed in this letter is a check for 200 bits. you deserve a new bed you great pony. - anon.

That’s all it says.

Granted it has “*ding dong*” wrote out too, but no envelope, no money, no nothing.

What an elaborate, yet minimalistic gag.

theblackstrawberry asked: That sounds bad... better call your ponynet provider. I'm trying to play Deus Ex... even with everything turned down to a minimum, it still lags... im so sad...

Sorry dude. I got it on the Xcolt so I wouldn’t have to worry about that.
