1) Transformers is alright. I don’t really know the characters very well.
Sorry I didn’t really do anything for three days. It’s not like I’m busy. I’m just playing video games.
1) Transformers is alright. I don’t really know the characters very well.
I’m going to a birthday dinner in Canterlot for a friend tomorrow. It’s my online buddy. Bon-Bon went to hang out with a friend of hers. Nothing else I can think of at the moment.
Bon-Bon and I can both swim. In fact, the place I was house-sitting for had a pool! Rich ponies love to have pools. I swam in it a few times.
2) I doubt she’d want to. Fortunately, I know most of the story. She was playing as a rat hunter; that means she killed bandit NPCs, sort of like you would in a traditional MMO. Sometimes she’d get attacked by a player. One time it happened she blew up the ship and while retrieving the cargo of the other player, found a ship log. It contained information about the player’s corporation selling contracts to unaligned players to have them attack this other corporation. There were a bunch of player names in the log, and it listed the leader of the other corporation.
So, she sent a message to the leader and got a reply. They went back and forth over details and agreed to a meeting out in unprotected space, which is about as shady in the game’s world as it sounds. They meet; guy had a huge ship with enough firepower to blow my friend up before she could even lock on. But it all went down civilly and she hoofed over the log.
And you know, it’s all serious business, because it’s a hardcore game. But at the same time it is just a game. So the whole time the leader guy was reading over the log he was just saying, “This guy was such a [omitted] idiot. Why would you write this ingame? She could have just windowed out to look it up.”
So he handed some astronomical sum of money to my friend, because it was hayseed to him. She gets herself all set up in a pretty decent ship and everything. Then, as she tells it, the following starts. Ships just following her around in protected space. If she hangs around too long in lower security sectors, a ship or two would show up and start locking on her. She wound up so paranoid she had to quit all together because she couldn’t do anything!
Anyway, yeah, those Digimon World games always seemed to have pretty questionable quality. And I only played the first one, but I never knew what I was doing. Anything I accomplished, which was a fair deal, was a complete accident.
I know you said Krastos doesn’t live with you, but I made him anyways because I wanted to try to figure out what a human version of him would look like, besides the Raincoat Killer look-alike.
On a side note, I’m not very satisfied with the personality traits I gave you guys, so I might edit them later. For instance, all of you are friendly and vegetarian, to the point of it being a bit of a cop-out.
I’m really unsatisfied with Bon-Bon’s design, since I currently don’t have access to curly hair and her outfit feels very generic.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know anything about Tootsie, and because the family tree only lets you pick direct relationships (siblings, parent and child, dating, married; In order to make Tootsie her niece, I would have to make Bonbon a sibling and make him/her Tootsie’s parent), I made her Bon-Bon’s sister.
The whole family. I put it under Bon-Bon’s name since she’d probably be the one who put the most money into it.
Here is your house. I loosely modeled it after the houses I’ve seen in pictures and videos of Ponyville, and the pictures of it in Fuselight’s blog.
While you’re not the main household, because of the Story Progression mod I installed, non-active sims can do all sorts of crazy things. To wit, since the time I installed the mod, you and Krastos had a baby named Scotty, and Bonbon married Arino from Gamecenter CX, which incidentally makes her the stepmother of Link & Aryll from Wind Waker. Neither has yet to move in with the other, on account of inadequete housing. I think I might take control of one so I can edit Arino’s home to be more suitable for Bon-Bon to move in. I think I’ll also try looking for mods that give me more hairstyles.

Lyra: This is pretty cool! Krastos looks great! I don’t like my nose, though. I like Bon-Bon’s nose. Ha! Scotty! What a silly name!
Bon-Bon: I married a guy? Certainly is fantasy. Also, what the heck? You’re going to make me move out of my own home?
Lyra: Yeah, this is Bon-Bon’s house. Tootsie looks good, though!
Bon-Bon: And I like that lipstick color.
Lyra: Gee, this is kinda old too. All kinds of weird stuff could have happened by now.
1) I was looking back and I’m not sure I ever explained, but the pictures I’ve been uploading one at a time were from a different pony’s house. The pony I was house-sitting for came back a day early and I showed her the pictures I’d been taking of her flowers. So she had us swing by her friend’s house to pick something up, or drop something off I forget which. Basically an excuse for me to go take pictures of her friend’s flowers.
If I did say that already, she, the pony my friend and I visited, doesn’t live in Canterlot. She lives off of Canterlot. She lives on more than just a city-style plot of land. But yeah, she’s got a lot of flowers. They don’t cover the ground, but they’re all over the place! She and her husband are both retired so I think she spends a fair deal of time on them. Her husband is a carriage collector. He has this big ol’ garage with, like, 4 old models he’s fixed up like new. The garage is filled with period decorations, like old flyers and an antique, earth pony fire extinguisher. But from what I remember, he hasn’t worked on any of that stuff in a while because he’s been busy helping with the landscaping.
2) Yes it is a pool. I didn’t get to swim or anything. My taking pictures was the only reason we stayed as long as we did. They were very nice about it, though!
3) I’m not listening! La-la-la! Can’t hear you over the sound of devil-buzzing! La-la-la!
1) No. I’m pretty sure any real photographer or editor would look at my manedroid pictures and go, “What did you do? Take these with a phone?”
2) No. At least, not that I know of. She has a sister. That’s Tootsie’s Mom.
3) … No, really. I don’t know how to respond to these anymore. I get one like every couple of months. I have for the last two years.
4) Ha. Sounds kinda like the Front Mission Translation Project. I mean, their work with Front Mission 5 is mentioned on the official wikipedia page.
Sometimes folks can be cool like that.
5) I mostly just read Sinfest, Baby Blues, and Scary-Go-Round (whichever specific comic the author happens to be working on at the time).
I used to read other things. I can’t remember much. I remember reading Bob and George. What a waste of time that turned out to be. Completely pointless ending.
I see xkcd and Penny Arcade sometimes. Don’t check them all the time, though. Oh! And there’s the comics I follow on Tumblr. Tall Penguin is fun!
1) I had heard the name but I didn’t know anything about the game. Sounds interesting!
2) You might say that.
3) Bon-Bon: That’s the name of my shop. I’ll answer to it if somepony calls me that, but usually it’s just fillies or colts that don’t know my name.
4) Obviously; that’s where the phrase came from.
… How did it wind up being called that by humans?
5) Alright, Strawberry.
6) Not for the ones that already existed, from I’ve seen. There’s a bunch of new weapons; every one of the 77 characters have their own weapon now. So any character that’s had their weapon changed has a different EX combo. Most of the changes are more broad. You can store your Musou now so they’ll have up to 3 charges. They added something called rage where you get faster and can use a new special Musou attack. There’s a rock-paper-sissors mechanic to weapons so the switch system has more use for casual players. Switch counters. I think whirlwind was in 7, but there’s 3 other mechanics depending on the weapon; Dash, Dive, and Shadow Strike. The graphics and environments are way better and as best I can remember attacks are sped up compared to 7. Oh! And if you press guard just as you hit the ground from being knocked back, you’ll land on your feet and skid backwards instead of always doing that air-flip.
7) That’s actually a tree. I made sure my shadow wasn’t in any of them by holding the phone down and off to the side if I had to. I figured everypony would think that was me when I was taking it, though.
But thanks! I’m glad you like the composition!
Lyra: I would love to see a celebrity gossip spot with Krastos. Overall, though, I find it highly suspect that a show called Bon-Bon and Lyra seems to have neither of us in it. Unless one of us is dressed up as that one fat guy behind the dumpster.
Bon-Bon: … What are you talking about? What is this?
Lyra: Oh, that’s right. This is your first time seeing One Lyra to Live, isn’t it?
Bon-Bon: What?
Lyra: What was the Gilda version called again? As the Griffon Flies? Days of our Gilda?
Bon-Bon: What?
Edit: Lyra: Found it! It was As the Griffon Flies!
