Okay. Back, situated, lets give this bass thing a try.

Alright. Put this over your head, and you hold it here. *plugs in the bass into the amp*. Now you know the way you pluck your lyre? Same thing, just remember how they taught ya to play, and just extend that across the neck. And then ya strum. 

Okay… but my lyre doesn’t have a neck. Isn’t there something about holding strings down across frets while strumming? I only used to plucking strings at various points.

… yeah I’m sorry but this took so long, do you mind if I just go to bed? I do have school tomorrow…

Oh. Yeah, sure.

I left a message on Rarity’s door that if you weren’t there you were here. So everything should be in order.

Okay. Back, situated, lets give this bass thing a try.

I don’t like where this is going.

So just stop right there and change subjects.

None of my lyres have necks, no.

Hey Lyra, wanna try to play my bass? You might like it, and its easy to pick up.

I’m still standing next to you.

Oh.

Sure!

Hehe, you’re funny sometimes. Anyways, I think you will like trying bass. It’s easy, and it makes the best weapon. You can swing one around, take out any pony, the occasional demigod, and anything else you can find.

Sounds sturdy!

As soon as we’re back, I can already see the house.

Two reasons.

One, because this is the internet, not face-to-face interaction. You have time to communicate without stumbling on words or being incredibly upset. There’s no excuse for swearing.

Secondly, I run a family friendly page. I operate under the assumption that some of the ponies following me don’t know those words and have no reason to be exposed to them. Plus, it shows a certain level of maturity. And swearing isn’t the way mature adults communicate in a casual interaction.

I swear, but not online, and not in front of children. When Gilda tossed me like a rag doll into a wall, I swore quite a few times. Not directed at anypony, just as a reaction to having the wind knocked out of me.

As of this post, I’ve answered all the ones before this post was sent, aside from the song you submitted.

You’re welcome!

I’ve heard it was a great game, but I haven’t played it at all.

I don’t just open the door when somepony knocks.

Also, I’m not there right now, Mint and I are coming back from picking up Sweetie Belle.

I’m still standing next to you.

Oh.

Sure!

No problem.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Oops.

Sorry! I didn’t see this until now and you’ve already left. Maybe next time!
