Ask Lyra

how are you feeling?

I’m alright.

That race I went to yesterday was a little weird, they were just handing out hats to anypony that wasn’t wearing one.

I’d never been to a ship launching, either.

I flat out hate the rich.

It’s difficult to not be quite that judgmental.

Besides, there are both poor and middle class ponies that can be just as prickish.

Recently I learned about the type of ponies who live in Canterlot. You have gained infinite respect from me for having been surrounded by a bunch of boring, dull, and prude ponies who all probably looked down on you. I would've probably broken down or something, but you didn't.

Stuck-up whistle-blowers… They were just as hazardous as the vile creatures I had to work for.

Bless their little hearts. And I do mean little.

Have I mentioned that I don’t care for the rich?

Splendid idea! Do you know where I can find any recovering alcoholics?

Canterlot.

Upper-crust drinks wine like it’s water over there.

So the bear misses the taste of meat but doesn't want to think about it. Nothing awful about making him confront the fact that he misses meat even though he never wants to eat it again. It's helping him in the long run.

Yeah, because everypony deserves to have their past shoved in their face when they’re just trying to move on, right?

You want to feed this self-righteous need of yours? Go toss some beers at a few recovering alcoholics and leave my boyfriend alone.

Thank you !

You’re welcome?

Welcome, Lyra!

Flappy never mentioned any family before.

Why? What's wrong with a little fun at the expense of others? I don't think Boscov will actually give into the temptations, but it's fun to do it any way.

It’s not something to joke about. It’s not something to poke fun at.

It’s…

It’s just awful!

its-a-me, Flippy!

W-… What?

This a little better?

Call me strange, but I prefer the Plain White T’s cover of that one.

I know it sounds like the opposite of what I just said, but the tone makes the piece more believable. The original just sounds too epic to be the setting for an everyday conflict.

Not that I want to sound rude or anything, but can you stop submitting me videos? The submission section is really just there for links to sheet music. This is more of the sort of thing I’d privately reply to.

Why is it so fun to tempt former meat-eaters?

[omitted] you.

How was your day?

Kinda… feel bad ‘cause I haven’t done anything.

This song is a pretty good song to listen to.

Yeah… Nickleback is alright I guess. Little derivative for my tastes.

I prefer more development throughout the course of a piece.

Here’s what I’m gonna do

Once a CYOA post says it’s been posted for over a day (specifically, when it reads “2 days”), I’m going to remove the page break to make it easier to read when looking back through the CYOA tag archive.

That cool with everypony?

Obviously you can’t do anything about it right now, but you make a mental note for later about bringing a digging utensil. A shovel will be too big to carry, but a spade should do nicely.

It could be useful! Obviously not for that reason, though.
