Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. It takes a city to raise a musician!

Watch your mouth, Flappy.

Find a teacher. I recommend Canterlot.

There’s more to grab on a bull elephant than an ant.

Different species have different sizes.

You and the artist currently known as N-Amy follow the theoretical Princess of Equestia behind the divide on the far left corner of the room. There’s a staircase going down that you both descend before meeting back up with Celly in what appears to be an armory.

Around you are a few weapon racks, mostly bare, and a few pieces of armor. The armor is sized for griffons though, making your previous discovery of this building’s origin less significant. Aside from possibly a helmet there’s nothing a pony could wear.

While the three of you lay out the armaments available, you trade stories. Prince-Cel, get it, like pretzel? Anyway, she says a client of hers gave her a free ticket for a tour of this place. It was suppository very expensive, so when no one was here she waited a day. But something came in the night and attacked her; that’s what she and Fake-a-tron were talking about when you showed up.

Whatever it was stole something from her, but she wouldn’t say what.

The artist formerly known as N-Amy says she flies around here all the time, but today something struck her in the head and knocked her out of the sky. When she came to something was stolen from her as well.

She also wouldn’t say what was stolen, but that she was more interested in getting revenge on whatever attacked her. Also making sure no pony else gets hurt, but she may have only mentioned that to save face.

They both said what they saw of the assailant was some sort of enigmatic, shadowy creature. But Princess said it scurried away on four legs when she saw it, and Namy said it floated like a mythological wisp or shade.

You tell them that you met an old traveling pony who said he climbed this mountain every year. Unfortunately for him, he was too old and weak to do it again and asked you to. You felt bad for him and agreed. This morning before you left you found a key tapped to your front door with a note. It had rained the night before and you couldn’t make out what it said. But you saw what looked like the word “mountain” and knew it must have been from the old pony.

The whole time this is going on, you drop some of the joke names you came up with and seem to get a few smiles here and there.

In front of you are a few weapons. You’re the only one strong enough to pull a bow string, so it’s already decided that you’ll be taking that. Princess took the only mace and the one helmet small enough for a pony. Namy took both knives and a chain of some kind. Looks like you’re left with either a Staff, a Spear, or you could try using a Clawed Griffonian Gauntlet.

How many times do I have to answer this?

Some artist drew a few pictures, then some other artists followed suit.

The original pictures were based on a movie or something. None of it had anything to do with me.

Boscov isn’t fat!

A different Lyra.

You can’t see it, but I’m putting my hooves together and bowing low.

I would say no…

But I found this channel on Youhoof…

…

Hee hee hee…

It’ll be a bit, though.

There is no meaning to life.

There are no consequences for our actions beyond this plane. No reason to care about what happens to our world after we pass, or about the feelings of anyone around us at all.

But that’s what gives us a reason to be kind and considerate ponies. There’s no reason to gain incredible wealth or power when it serves no purpose once we’re gone. All the money in Equestria might give you a few extra years to your name, but that will never compare to decades of friendship and caring that you can give and receive.

We strive to make the world a better place for those that follow for absolutely no reason whatsoever. We’ll never see the fruits of our labors, or the smiles our actions bring. But even in a world where there is no right and wrong, it’s just the right thing to do.

That game only just came out. I can’t find sheet music for it yet.

Could be! We do seem to be pretty good-natured ponies.

Where do you even think up these questions?

Bon-Bon says she’s got most of it covered. Plus Tootsie and Sweetie’s parents.

You could bring some sweet potato casserole. I mean, we already have some, but I can never get enough of that stuff!
