1) Bon-Bon: I’m sorry, Black Strawberry, but this isn’t really a good time. Lyra and I are going through a bit of a… Okay, things are terrible between us at the moment. I don’t feel we need anything, or anypony else complicating matters further. There is a shelter in Ponyville. If you haven’t been staying there or have nopony else to call on, I would recommend it over the streets.

Bon-Bon: … I’m sorry. This must seem terribly rude and inconsiderate. I’d just really rather not add another element to this… mess… Things have gotten out of hoof as is.

2) Lyra: My third coltfriend was the soccer player. My second was the… He saved my life once… you know…?

Bon-Bon: I know, Lyra.

3) It’s not like it all happens on the same day.

4) Lyra: I’m a little preoccupied at the moment. Even without the work schedule added in.

Bon-Bon: … Because you work so much more than I do…

Lyra: You know what, Bon-Bon?! I-!

5) I don’t know how to play a guitar. I can only play the sitar a little. And only while it’s laying down; I can’t actually play it while I’m holding it, which makes live performances a little difficult. Nevermind that the song is eighteen minutes long (Edit: Content advisory) and I don’t think I could kept it going the entire time.

?: I’m glad you could both make it. As this concerns both of you I feel it is a necessity.

Bon-Bon: Of course!

Lyra: Sure thing, Doc. Nopony else I’d rather be trapped in a room with against my will than you.

?: Thank you. Once again, I am Doctor Reification. We are here today to continue the discussion our friend Lyra and her style of alcohol consumption-

Bon-Bon: Welcome home, Lyra. Enjoy your shift?

Lyra: Ugh… Don’t you have work in the morning?

Bon-Bon: I’ll manage. I hope you didn’t think this was over.

Lyra: Go away!

1) To be honest, I know practically nothing about it. Just one of those things I missed out on growing up.

2) The main reason I hate Shulk so much is because I can’t play him worth a crap, but other ponies can bust my tail with him.

3) Hmm… Nothing I can think of. There was always the notion that colts are less sophisticated than fillies, but it was never connected to illness. It was just considered their natural disposition. Suffice to say that phrase “boys will be boys” never had an apologetic air to it.

4) Is that you, Flappy?

5) You were some kind of government researcher for magic. But I don’t know where you live.

Don’t worry about them. They’re harmless.

1) You’re like a ninja or somethin’. You keep disappearing.

2) Look at that, a special agent offering their help!

3) Hmm… I don’t think having a daughter appointed to princess status automatically makes you a queen. I mean, if it did, she would have already been a queen when Shining Armor married Princess Cadance and became a prince. But it’s something to look into!

4) I don’t have the answer to that, Strawberry. And I said you were a powerful unicorn, not a penultimate wizard with a might beyond the collective strength of all the princess’s combined. I’ve often found myself wondering about the cat thing too, though. You were kind of eccentric. No offense.

Alright. That didn’t work either… But I think we’re making progress!

Well, you said you like finding things and-… Nevermind, I guess.

1) Uh… I know Pac-Man is pretty good in Smash. It’s just that his grab is so terrible that fighting against ponies who shield a lot can be tough.

2) When you get your memory back I need to remember to remind you that B doesn’t like you… That sentence sounds off… Anyway.

Do you remember any of your spells? You were a pretty strong unicorn magician. Used to turn into a cat for months on end.

asklyra asked: I've noticed something a little strange about your world. No no; not that. You each seem to have a different twinkle in your eye. That might not make any sense... When light reflects off of your eyes, consistent shapes are formed that differ from pony to pony. At first I thought maybe it was just Rainbow Dash having a star because she's a carnivore, but looking back it's... everyone! Even Spike and the Princesses! Has a cause for this been discovered?

1) I worked a relief shift today. It’s where I only work a booth while somepony else takes a break, and then I ride a train to the next station and do it again. We probably missed each other.

2) You’re in luck! I know all about this sort of thing. In my experience, the best solution is to search for yourself! Where you used to work might be a good place to start.

3) I have! And the only thing that was a little weird was the TwiPie (as I’ve said in the past, we all know better than to ship TwiPie). As a story, it was fantastic and filled with neat little jokes on item/enemy descriptions that you wouldn’t get in any other form of media. Artistically it did the retro-style right, using the limitation on visuals as a tool instead of an excuse. But mechanically it was a poorly balanced slog. Characters, their abilities, enemies, bosses, items, equipment, money; it was all over the place in terms of difficulty/accessibility. It needed much better balancing/progression than what it had.

4) I think I’ve played the game long enough at this point. I like it! It continues to be fun and when the online mode isn’t going into slow-motion because someone’s latency is too high, it’s a constant source of entertainment! The balancing seems to be a lot better than the previous games, too. I always seem to find myself at home with Pikachu in this series, but for some reason this time around I’m doing some serious damage with Charizard of all fighters.

oh. who the fff—rick is Tootsie’s dad??? Have i never noticed him at these events??

well, THANK YOU TOOTSIE ROLL’S MYSTERIOUS DAD.

Champagne. He’s usually the boy pony sitting next to the girl pony that keeps contorting her mouth and gasping at the things you do and say.

I’m pretty sure she, Tootsie’s mother, also wants to have you committed, but I guess that’s a little off topic.
