Awesome -- I'm happy for the both of you! Krastos seems like a good guy. If I were into the whole... falling-in-love-which-for-me-would-mean-certain-death thing, I would totally be into him, too! ~ ask-seapony-lyra

Thanks!

But, I’m not really ‘in love’ yet. I’m giving it a shot. He’s a nice guy; very polite and talented, but also not afraid to speak his mind. And I think he could be a great father figure to Sweetie!

I hope I’m not asking too much of him with that last part, though…

You're The Pony Krastos Has A Thing For! I Don't Know Why I Didn't Guess That! I Knew He Had A Crush On A Pony But I Didn't Know It Was You. What Did You Say To Him? Good Luck On Your Date Btw.

I didn’t know right away, but I started to piece it together.

Once I had things sorted out with York, I just asked him if it was me. I gotta work all next week; don’t really have time to beat-around-the-bush.

And thanks! Since we already know one another, we’re skipping the whole ‘first date’ thing and moving on to the fancy restaurant atmosphere!

Are you going out on a dinner date lyra?

Ma~ybe…

Mister Special Agent York and I came to an understanding, that we should just be friends. And Boscov admitted something to me (that, truthfully, I’d figured for a little over a week).

Okay, see you then.

Okay!

On a related note, I’ll be unavailable in about three hours while out to dinner.

Have you ever saved some pony's life?

Maybe… Indirectly, maybe my actions have stopped somepony from dying…

Have I ever stood over somepony hanging from the brink and pulled them back to safety? No… I was always either too late…

Sorry, this isn’t a subject I’m fond of… I think that’s it from me for tonight.

What is your opinion of cheese?

I love cheese!

Cheesy tortillas are the bomb!

If that's some convoluted logic you're trying to pull to get everypony to refer to you as a person from now on I don't think it's working.

Uh… No.

What's even worse about that gag is that it operates on an additional, mocking level, in which they subtly bring up the allegations of you wishing to be a person.

“Person” and “people” are just terms denoting any sentient creature.

Ponies just tend to call everypony a pony as slang. I mean, most of the time that’s who you’re talking to.

would you like to hang out tomorrow?

Well… That’s sort of up in the air.

I need to hear back from a bear.

*ding dong* dear lyra, you are a wonderful person. inclosed in this letter is a check for 200 bits. you deserve a new bed you great pony. - anon.

That’s all it says.

Granted it has “*ding dong*” wrote out too, but no envelope, no money, no nothing.

What an elaborate, yet minimalistic gag.

That sounds bad... better call your ponynet provider. I'm trying to play Deus Ex... even with everything turned down to a minimum, it still lags... im so sad...

Sorry dude. I got it on the Xcolt so I wouldn’t have to worry about that.

Are you sure you don't want me to give you that extra bed I have?

I’m sure.

But… I did want to talk to you about something you said not long ago.

Hey Lyra, would you like some assistance looking for a new bed at a reasonable price? There are so many helpful ponies on tumblr, I'm sure it wouldn't take too long to find one in your price range!

I’ve already picked one out. I even have the money to buy it right now. But I need to know I have the income to cover it.

why am i hinting a touch of frustration when i read that?

Because I’ve seriously said it at least ten times.

If you meant the bed thing, because it really is fine! But no pony seems to want to believe me.

new bed? new job? do tell

I’ve only mentioned that I’m going to be a substitute teacher’s aid about ten times now.

We have three beds in the house. One for Bon-Bon, one for Tootsie, and one for me. But I gave Sweetie my bed when she moved in. I can’t get comfortable on the couch, so I’ve been sleeping on the floor in the office; A.K.A, my recording room.

It’s not that bad though! I’m sleeping on a blanket!
