Ask Lyra

queenfrau asked: Dear Lyra,

I just listened to that piece of music.
Amazing, just amazing, I may require your services in the near future, hehehe.
Just so this isn't a pointless post, where DID you learn to play so, magnificently?

Well, thank you very much! I don’t think it was all that good, though. I had to practice for hours just to play that short piece.

I was taught by Celestia’s caretakers, when it was discovered that I had at least a marginal affinity for music.

I like to post something a bit more than just an answer every night, so here’s one of the pieces I’ll be playing at the party Friday night.

Enjoy!

You must have me mistaken for the Lyra that knows what “your species” is. I don’t have any great interest in any particular animal. I’m a musician.

Obviously not sure what that means, but it’s a little weirder than it was a few days ago, that’s for sure.

Testing Something

This will be deleted.

It will live on in my reblog.

Delightful!

What I was testing didn’t work anyway.

diamondmint asked: We have an electric violin, I think we can make it work.

Do ya know anyone who can sing? Bon Bon or Twilight or the Princess?

Not sure about Bon-bon; You could ask her.

As for anyone else? No one that I could just ask.

diamondmint asked: Hi Lyra. So we are in the process of forming a band, with Spike on drums, Rainbow Dash on Guitar, Strawberry Sorbet on electric violin, and I'm on bass. You're one of the most talented musical ponies I know, would you maybe be interested in joining us?

I’m flattered! Not sure how much good a lyre player would do in a band, though.

askstarcatcher-deactivated20111 asked: Eh heh... yeah... high place jumping... gotcha...
Oh, and is anypony getting married tomorrow? I have this desperate desire to plan a wedding. Maybe it'll rid me of my blank flank. >_> Yep, out of school and no cutie mark.. *le sigh*

Uh… No… Even if they were I imagine they’d have the wedding planned out months in advance.

If you’re sensitive about it, just wear a dress. No pony will even notice.

askstarcatcher-deactivated20111 asked: Probably not... and now I legitamately feel bad about asking her to do that. I'm coming over to visit with her tomorrow, so if you have any punishments in mind, that would be GREAT.

/ooc: I did seriously feel bad about that. I'm not even joking...

It’s not that big of a deal. A little disgusting, maybe, but I was pretty sure it was just applesauce.

Don’t feel too bad; live and learn! Mostly about not jumping off of high places!

askstarcatcher-deactivated20111 asked: So Bon-Bon tested the applesauce, and it is indeed applesauce.
*huge sigh of relief*

I saw.

Maybe that wasn’t the best way to find out though.

Anonymous asked: how well do you know octavia and vinyl scratch?

Octavia is amazing! I wish I was half as talented as her!

I don’t really know her well, though. Actually, I’m kinda nervous about Bon-bon inviting her to the party Friday night.

I don’t really know DJ Pon3 either. She seems very passionate about music, and I don’t really like techno. I don’t think we’d have much in common.

You mean this?

I was being facetious.

Anonymous asked: What's your favorite animal?

Penguins!

Celles… That penguin came out evil! I guess I kinda drew it too fast.

Anonymous asked: Who are your best friends in the whole world?

Bon-bon; hooves down. Couldn’t ask for a better friend. But you probably could have figured that one.

I really like hanging out with Derpy. Applejack is really nice. I’d really like to hang out with Cheerilee more; she’s a hoot-and-a-half!

I haven’t really heard from any of my old friends in Canterlot. Guess they don’t miss me. Not a huge deal, I don’t guess.

Anonymous asked: What's the oddest/funniest thing you've ever seen in ponyville?

The oddest, which was also the most terrifying, was definitely when those stupid bugs over-multiplied. Parasprites I think Pinkie called them. Anyway, that was a harrowing experience. Made me really worried.

Funniest thing? Not sure, but Rainbow Dash and Applejack cheating each other during the Running of the Leaves was pretty funny to watch. It was almost like a cartoon.
