If you knew my magiks, you'd see.

Okie Dokie Lokie.

Your welcome. And the sand amp is a fancy trick that requires a little bit of magic, and I've got enough unicorn in my blood to pull it off.

I’m almost positive that’s not how magic works, but whatever you say.

And don't worry about the cost, I can easily replace an amp. I build them as well as play. I even know how to build one out of pure sand.

… Out of sand…?

Well… Alright… Thanks again.

Something wrong?

I’m not really accustom to getting gifts from ponies I barely know.

Thank you! It’ll go great with that electric guitar Marty gave me. I just need to figure out how to play it.

Ah told bass tuh get yuh that amp, as a dare!
Not all dares involve law-breaking, see?

Well now I feel bad.

That thing has to be worth at least a hundred bits. I can’t just accept it like that.

I see.
Well, I appreciate you sharing your story with me, Miss Lyra.
And I do apologize for threatening you and Miss Gilda.
My reasons for hating Gilda are my own, but let me remind you that you hurt my daughter and that is a line that nopony crosses. she looked up to you and you tossed her aside for being related to me. I came to you civilly today but you have shown no signs of changing. I can see that you and I will not be able to be friends. Good day to you miss Lyra

Let me remind you something. I’ve been kicked, bruised, stabbed, and a hay-of-a-lot worse, and unlike you, I didn’t ask for it. I never went out looking for adventure, I was just trying to survive.

Yet through it all, I didn’t throw threats around like bread crumbs.

Stop sending me messages.

It's Moondancer!
I saw you last at my party and then you disappeared!

Moondancer? But I didn’t make it to that party.

Yeah, I remember you. I had no idea you even knew who I was, though. We barely ever spoke, even when all of us would hang out together.

We've met at Diamond's coffee shop. I'm a fellow musician in Ponyville, even though I technically live outside of the town limits. I just wanted to bring you something because I hadn't really had a chance to say hello.
*Sets box down* I know that you have an electric lyre, and since you hooked up to my amps at Mane Street Bean, I assumed you didn't have your own, so I brought you one of my amps. I hope you like it.

An amp…? Wow… Uh, thanks.

I find myself intrigued, may I ask what you did there?

Somepony else might. If you haven’t noticed, I don’t want to talk to you.

Alternately.

Lyra, my bestestest friend, why don't you call me any more?

Is this someone from Canterlot?

Hey Lyra, just wanted to say that you're my hero :]

Thank you, ma'am!

I’m not sure why you think so, though.

You used to work at the castle?

Yes.

*Knocks on door holding a box* Lyra, it's Bass.

I don’t know a Bass. If we’ve met in passing before, I certainly don’t know you well enough to open the door.

Who are you?

That's what this world has come to unfortunately, it's either crime as part of a childish game or an outright slaughter if ponies. I'll take the former anyday.

And to think I used to walk around this town frequently.

Technically, that's a misdemeanor. Not a felony.

I guess that’s right; I’m not a government employee working at the castle anymore.
