Ask Lyra

Sep 11

everpresentshades-blog asked: So, are you getting any funny looks at the restaurant for your choice of date?

Oh, I wouldn’t know.

I was a little preoccupied.

I guess they also could have been staring at my cast and crutch, though. In retrospect, probably looked weird with my dress.

We’re at Boscov’s house right now, though. He’s showing me his glue lab. Smells a little strong, but it’s kinda cool! Was always a little interested in science, but was never any good at it.

Anonymous asked: How is your date with Krastos going?

Going alright.

Food finally got here so conversation is slowing down a bit.

He looks so handsome in his little suit. He looks like a big ol’ teddy bear!

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.
