Ask Lyra

Wait... You think there might be a decent single in Ponyville? When would be the best time for me to laugh at you?

Now’s fine.

Also, I found your house, Black Strawberry. Didn’t realize how long a mile was! That’s the measurement some of Earth uses, right?

Which room is your room?

tell me when your about to press the button, because I have to press a button within 5 seconds on my side.

Look, I’ve never done this before. I play by sheet because I can’t do this by ear.

Now I’m willing to try here, but you gotta throw me a bone. I got some notes, I have no idea what scale or duration. I’m not going to screw with this all night just for it to come out like crap.

Now when you say C, which C? Middle C? Am I going up or down from that? I’m assuming treble.

What’s the note duration on these? Quarter if there’s a space and eighth if there isn’t?

I was thinking along the lines of "[omitted] could be worse, so laugh about your life"nor something...I'll be honest, I think I may have approached this the wrong way...

I count my blessings everyday.

There’s a lot more of them than many might think.

It's south of the hospital, half a mile down the road. It has a picture of my icon on the mail box, you can't miss it.

theblackstrawberry

Alright, headed out now. I’ll see what I can do.

sent the notes to a song, mother russia to ya, they were kinda long and guess what?

jmg1234-deactivated20140425

Oh… Sorry…

No, I didn’t get them.

So I get off the whale, and I start walking, and the compass leads me to a house. This witch doctor says she says once you are cursed, your number of curses never go down, but you can switch them. So now I changed the curse so I can become a ghost at will. I need you to do me a favor and hit a glowing button that's under a chair in my room.

theblackstrawberry

Uh…

Where’s your house again?

i'm gonna hurt tumblr pretty badly if you don't get this

I got it.

What’s up?

Now what have we learned?

That jokes about sexually transmitted diseases aren’t funny when aimed at ponies who have, on more than one occasion, had intercourse without being one hundred percent, willfully consenting.

I’m sorry, I was hoping that’s what you’ve learned.

You realize I won't stop until you laugh at this a little.

Fine, mission complete.

Can you drop it now?

Simple. Draw yourself, only without the syphilis.

…

I can’t complain, it was sort of funny in its minimalistic approach.

But the whole subject is wearing thin.

You can draw me a picture.

Anonymous

I can’t for the life of me think of what I could draw that would get the idea across any better.

No. I just want a tiny bit. Of your syphilis.

How else can I explain this to you?

There's still no good singles in Ponyville though. Just thought I would point that out to you.

I don’t know about that…
