Ask Lyra

Anonymous asked: A nautilus is like mixing a snail and a squid together and then trying to make the result look cute-WAIT, you'd blast yourself!? But . . . you'd die! Don't tell me you're feeling suicidal, I'd hate myself if you were. Even hypothetically, those are not thoughts a pony should be harbouring!

If all that was left of me was a disembodied head and I was being sold? Yeah, I think I’d rather die.

What kind of life to live is that?

Sheet music for Showtime.

Because I also kinda want to hear that.

Okay!

Edit: Huh. Somehow on my page, this is coming up before the recording, when I did it after.

Oh well.

Anonymous asked: You are wise beyond your years.

If I am, it’s only from experience.

I’ve experienced more than most should.

Anonymous asked: Perhaps I am being a tad paranoid. I did not want the game to end so quickly.

The beauty of anonymity is treachery. Even if they find out, you don’t have to admit it.

Anonymous asked: If you woke up as just a head, a disembodied head, held by your mane in the tentacles of a talking nautilus that was trying to sell you to somepony, what would you do? This is all hypothetical, of course.

Probably use amplification magic to sonic bomb everything, including myself to hay.

Not that I recognize what a nautilus is by name.

Anonymous asked: I fear the worst... Gilda and Sweetie Belle are on my trail... I do not feel safe, I will be hiding in my friend's house outside of Ponyville. Good bye for now, I will keep in contact.

I seriously don’t think that’s necessary.

Just get a feel for the weight and everything first. I know its a bit different than your lyre in that you pluck the strings to make a bit of sound, but in this case, we got amplification! 

*Mint strums a few chords and makes the windows rattle in Lyra’s house*

hehe :3

Okay, we gotta turn that way down. Sweetie’s trying to sleep.

*Turns volume down from 2 to 1* 

Sorry Lyra, this is my fav little tube amp, and it really puts out some noise. But anyway, you get the basic idea? It’s not too hard.

Can we switch to a different amp then? That low rumble is going to keep Sweetie up.

Okay. Back, situated, lets give this bass thing a try.

Alright. Put this over your head, and you hold it here. *plugs in the bass into the amp*. Now you know the way you pluck your lyre? Same thing, just remember how they taught ya to play, and just extend that across the neck. And then ya strum. 

Okay… but my lyre doesn’t have a neck. Isn’t there something about holding strings down across frets while strumming? I only used to plucking strings at various points.

… yeah I’m sorry but this took so long, do you mind if I just go to bed? I do have school tomorrow…

Oh. Yeah, sure.

I left a message on Rarity’s door that if you weren’t there you were here. So everything should be in order.

Okay. Back, situated, lets give this bass thing a try.

Anonymous asked: did JMG tell you about the pregnant woman?

I don’t like where this is going.

So just stop right there and change subjects.

None of my lyres have necks, no.

Hey Lyra, wanna try to play my bass? You might like it, and its easy to pick up.
I’m still standing next to you.

Oh.

Sure!

Hehe, you’re funny sometimes. Anyways, I think you will like trying bass. It’s easy, and it makes the best weapon. You can swing one around, take out any pony, the occasional demigod, and anything else you can find.

Sounds sturdy!

As soon as we’re back, I can already see the house.
