Lyra: Snooping through my inbox, huh?
Bon-Bon: W-well…
Lyra: Bbz, I’ve told you like five times. I have no known relatives. Colgate is just a mare with a similar mane/tail-style. Now about snooping through my inbox.
Bon-Bon: Excuse me? You said when I agreed to this that I could answer asks while you were away!
Lyra: Of course I did, Bon-Bon. And I’m not complaining about it or anything. You did nothing wrong.
Bon-Bon: I-I know I didn’t!
Lyra: So where are they?
Bon-Bon: What?
Lyra: The asks you answered. Where are they?
Bon-Bon: I… uh… I private replied.
Lyra: I see.
You didn’t think I was gonna not post this, did you?
1) Believe it or not, I’ve heard that story before. As for educational, imagine playing that with only cursory knowledge of the world it’s describing.
2) That is silly! This is much less silly (Warning: Disturbing lyrics).
3) Bon-Bon: Thank you, dear. I hope you’re happy too!
Lyra: A~nd no explanation.
Bon-Bon: Such a curious filly you are.
4) Ouch. Also sorry for the delay. Has it been resolved yet?
5) B: I don’t have normal days. I haven’t had a normal day in over five years. There’s always things to do. At the moment I’m still trying to find this pony. I had a decent lead for a while, but it led nowhere.
2) Bon-Bon: Not oooooohhh! Sssshhhhhh! I never should have started responding to these!
3) Bon-Bon: Stop it! I want her to be happy! He makes her happy!
4) Bon-Bon: If you asked her, she’d say no. But I also heard her say once when she was drunk that she used to have a crush on Gilda.
Bon-Bon: And don’t repeat any of this to her! Please!
1) Bon-Bon: She didn’t used to be… She was a dreamer. Then when her dreams came true she just assumed that’s how life is supposed to be. And that we all have the same dreams.
2) Bon-Bon: Of course I do. She knows I do. But she doesn’t feel the same way… And as long as she’s in a relationship, there’s no way that will change.
???: Bonnie! Sister! Good afternoon! Good to see you!
Bon-Bon: Hello, Ribbon. Why the fanfare? Liza! Your mom’s here!
Ribbon: What? Can a mare not be pleased to see her sister well?
Bon-Bon: Not usually, no.
Ribbon: I’m sorry. Is this not a good time? I thought we might speak for a bit since…
Bon-Bon: Since Lyra went to Canterlot for the weekend. But you already knew that, didn’t you.
Ribbon: Guilty as charged! Ah haha! Hello Tootsie! MmmMM! Go wait in the carriage please. Such a good filly! Ah ha… [Clearing throat] Yes, well. Since I knew you’d be alone this weekend, I thought “What an excellent time this would be for my dear, dear sister to make a new friend!”
Bon-Bon: You didn’t.
Ribbon: They’re waiting behind the carriage!
Bon-Bon: Rebecca! You brought some stranger to my house?! Get rid of him!
Ribbon: Her! It’s a her! I know you like mares so it’s a filly this time!
Bon-Bon: Get rid of them!
Ribbon: Bonnie, if you’d just-
Bon-Bon: NOW!
Ribbon: [Sigh] Very well, Bonnie. As you wish.
Bon-Bon: [Incomprehensible muttering] Don’t believe this…
Ribbon: There. I hope you’re pleased with yourself. She wasn’t exactly easy to find. Somepony, a single mare your age no less, willing to come all this way for somepony she’s never met.
Bon-Bon: That’s because it’s ludicrous! What’s wrong with you?!
Ribbon: Wrong with me? I have a ten-year old daughter and my big sister has yet to be in a serious relationship! A mare of your stature living with a-a roommate! All that I can do to dance around the subject in conversation!
Bon-Bon: Excuse me?! I work forty-plus hours a week and still spend more time with your daughter than you do!
Ribbon: Exactly! You could be the name in confections for all of Equestria! Instead you waste away in this-this three bedroom/two bath outhouse with that-that vagabond, gypsy… Drifter!
Bon-Bon: … What did you say?
Ribbon: She won’t stay here, Bonnie. It doesn’t matter how you feel about her! She won’t stay here forever! It’s not in her nature. Not in her lower-class upbringing! She’s a-
Bon-Bon: I swear to Celestia-if you call her a street urchin one more time.
Ribbon: You’re better than this! Better than her!
Bon-Bon: Get out of my house!
Ribbon: Does she even love you back-?
Bon-Bon: I SAID GET OUT!
[BLAM!] [Locking mechanism]
Bon-Bon: … [Sniff] … [Sob] … [Sniff]…
1) Not dying, mostly. That might sound easy, but it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever live through!
2) Bon-Bon: Your world is full of hate for things that are different. Reading a book wrote by a pony might not make you unique, but it would make you a minority. If anyone even believed it. There’d probably be as many articles bad-mouthing it as there would be ones questioning its authenticity.
Bon-Bon: I got Lyra a Kindle a few years back thinking maybe she’d use it to read something. My mistake.
3) That’s funny! I barely played 2, but I played 3 a bunch! 4 was great and I loved it too! Just not as much as 3.
I never played Mario is Missing. It looked boring.
4) Lyra: Yes! Thank you, Strawberry! I always love eating parmesan pasta!
Bon-Bon: Thank you very much for inviting me, Strawberry.
B: Sarcasm doesn’t suit you. You will never see me.
1) I… hadn’t heard anything about the Ninja Turtles being aliens. If true I don’t even want to talk about it anymore. I don’t want to acknowledge its existence.
My favorite will always be Ninja Turtles 3. Of course, 4 had a certain charm too.
2) Lyra: Okay, now go ahead.
Liza: Thank you very much, Mr. Coffeeseer.
3) Evidently I have to go. It’s not in Lower Canterlot. It was right outside a storefront on a busy street, out in the open. It’s hard for me to understand how nopony could have seen anything…
But yeah. I guess let me know when and I’ll give you a tour.
1) I have not! But it does sound interesting! I don’t suppose you could provide a link in a submission of a recording you feel they did really well, could you?
2) It’s absolutely acceptable to look at the visuals and say, “What did you do?!” Plus, some of the stuff they’re reconning is just… you’re an idiot, aren’t you? You’re changing things for the sake of changing them and are an idiot for doing so.
I hope parents don’t take their children to see it. Because apart from reviewers, I can’t imagine anypony else that would willingly go.
3) Bon-Bon: And there’s some pretty good pony authors that have wrote some pretty good books. I’m not going to lie, it’s a conscious decision and chosen for a number of reasons. Would the average human read a book wrote by a pony? Would I really be able to relate to characters and/or settings created by an author aiming at a demographic located in an entirely different world? And most importantly, as a local business owner, when I spend my bits I’d rather they go towards local authors. And you can’t get more foreign than living on another plane of existence.
I don’t know that the story was deliberately aiming at anything in particular, so much as the general idea of not sacrificing one’s own convictions to justify a lofty concept. Yes, solving world hunger is a great thing to shoot for, but they knew at the start that this stuff was making the ponies working with it sick. But it wasn’t fatal. It didn’t have any long-term effects in small doses. So even though it was clearly harmful to work with, they just decided to rotate workers. Things snowballed from there.

1) Of course you’d win. There’s more humans that play video games than ponies. In fact, there’s probably more humans than ponies period.
2) Bon-Bon: I’ve never read a book by a human author. Though that does remind me.
Bon-Bon: Actually, no. It turned out to be about elevating an ideology above the sacrifices needed to make it reality. In this case they solved world hunger, but by the end of the story they had made so many sacrifices that they rendered the entire world’s population sickly and spread an incurable disease that cut their average global life-expectancy in half. And they created an evasive species of fern that had strangled a massive portion of the world’s plant life.
3) Sorry for the late reply. Sort of been busy the last few days.
It was just a small celebration here in Ponyville. This year the big show was held in Las Pegasus. I heard it was loud and with lots of fanfare. Floats, fireworks; that sort of thing.
1) Of course you did. Don’t care for the 8-bit fad. And it sounds interesting, in concept. Don’t really want to play a visual novel, though.
2) And I remain firm in my stance. Video game reviewing publications do all that work for you, without your having to spend money and time on lengthy trailers and cinematics that do not contain accurate depictions of the game itself. All you need is in-game footage. That’s all you ever needed.
I’m not saying advertisement is pointless. I’m saying the time and effort spent on acquiring a booth, sending representatives and equipment across the world to an expo, producing the exclusive content for the showcase, giving away stuff to get attention toward you and away from competitors, bringing everything back, and the cost of all this plus wages and living expenses for all those involved do not result in a net increase in revenue for a good game and would be better spent on the product itself (or if it’s effectively done, working on the next one). The only end it serves is to help bad games get initial sales they never deserved.
3) Wrong with me? Really? Somepony doesn’t like the same song as you and there’s something wrong with them? I will never understand why ponies get so defensive about music. It’s not an attack on you or your taste.
Don’t like this either. It at least has a decent trip beat going on, but the ironic lyrics ironically sung poorly are irritating and mask a derivative, but otherwise well-arranged instrumental. It’s the kind of music that, if I was cheesed off about something, would only make me angrier with how obnoxious it is.
And I did play with Legos as a foal. Well, with other pony’s Legos.
Lyra: Exactly! I have no idea if it’s still happening or not! I have no asks! But do I have no asks because no pony has anything to send me or are none of the messages getting through?! It’s maddening and-!
Tootsie: Excuse me! I have an announcement to make.
Lyra: Oh…?
Bon-Bon: Of course, dear. What is it?
Tootsie: From now on I will be going by the name, Liza Doolots. I will not be answering to Toosie Flute. So if you could please refer to me as Liza Doolots I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Lyra: … Wha-?
Bon-Bon: Of course, Liza! I think that sounds splendid!
Lyra: Uh… Yeah, Too-… Liza! That’s, uh, ballin’! Crackerjack. Cool…
Liza: Thank you!
Bon-Bon: … I blame you for this.
Lyra: What?! I didn’t even do anything!
Bon-Bon: Can’t wait to have this conversation with my sister.
Lyra: It’s not my fault this time!
Okay, this is going to take some explaining. See, my main in Warframe is Nyx.
That’s it.
