Ask Lyra

Tomorrow will be fine. And I'll tell ya about the evil one later. No need to put those images into your head right before ya sleep. Goodnite.

diamondmint

Good night!

Should I mention that I don’t believe in good and evil?

Hi Lyra! I see the evil one has gone to slumber for now, so if you want to record that music, I'm game. And I can tune your lyre as well.

diamondmint

I’m actually about to head to bed. I figure we can just knock it out tomorrow if you’re available. If not, that’s okay, probably won’t be done until Sunday. Even after we get all the recording done, I gotta toss the thing around to get the volume on the instruments right.

What’s all this about an evil one?

PS: I will meet you at your house for the recording, just let me know when it is. I'll bring you a hat.

diamondmint

Well, anytime is fine. We don’t need to record all together. It’s just, between all the moving and stuff, I hadn’t finished transcribing your part so I obviously couldn’t record you.

Um… Not really a hat person…

Dear Lyra,

By the time you read this, I will be in hiding from the newly reincarnated Evil Minty the Destructor. Don't worry, I packed some sandwiches. My secret base of operations is at Sweet Apple Acres, or you can just AppleJack. She is still herself. If you make it here, I'll be sure and make you a hat, to keep the mind rays out.

Be careful, her minions are everywhere, and they don't even know it yet....

diamondmint

Uh… You alright Mint? Should I schedule the rehearsal for the performance/recording at Applejack’s or something? I mean, it’s going to be a pain to drag that drumset all the way out there!

GO TO BED PINSHY!!!
Uh… thanks, I suppose…

Mmm… Enjoying yourself tonight, Twilight?

ask-sweetie-belle replied to your post: Okay… This piece isn’t getting done tonight… I…

A li… l- l… live performance?! That’s… that’s so much pressure! Too much pressure!! What if I mess up?! I’ll mess up!!!

Sweetie, I mess up all the time. It’s okay! It’s not like anypony will be paying to see us play; there’s no pressure!

Besides, once you get the part down, you’ll see how simple it is.

We won’t be playing in front of a bunch of ponies or anything. We might not even get more than a few ponies to show up for just one song.

Yeah, i can!

I also know a drummer, her personality is a bit rough, but she's not a bad person. Just if you ever need someone with more experience than Sweetie Belle.

I think Sweetie Belle will be enough for this one. The drumline is nothing complicated, she just needs some practice. But that could be useful later on, thanks!

I still need to transcribe your part out, so if you can come sometime tomorrow, that’d be great!

Okay… This piece isn’t getting done tonight…

I just got word from Sweetie Belle, and I know she’s going to need time to practice. Also, I’m pretty sure I’m going to need yet another guitarist…

And if this is being pushed back anyway… I’m thinking maybe a live performance might be possible.

If that happens, it probably won’t be done tomorrow either. I still need to recalibrate the sound because my lyre is coming in too loud later on in the piece when other insturments should be overshadowing it.

Anyway… blah blah blah delays.

Anyone seen Marty? He can play guitar, can’t he?

Bit of a strange email address, but a very generous gesture!

I'll Probably Have Arrived By The Time You Get This But I'm Setting Off Now. Do You Have The Sheet Music? Because While I Could Play By Ear It'd Sound Better If You Had The Actual Sheet Music. If You Don't, Respond Quickly And I Might Have Time On My Way To Pick It Up From Somewhere.

unicyclistperiscopes

I have sheet music for your part, but you already know that. Still working on Mint and Sweetie Belle’s parts.

Also, thanks for waiting while I head to Mint’s to help get those drums!

Hey Lyra Just Saw That You're Having Trouble With Your Recording Equpment.
Still Want Me To Come Round And Help? I'll Set Off When You Reply To This I Guess So I Know You're In (If You Still Need Me That Is)

unicyclistperiscopes

Yeah, still come over when you get a chance, please! You’ll be playing the vocals again.

Is it just a strange coincidence that your name directly relates to your special talent?

We’ve gotten more people on since Star Catcher originally asked this, so I will restart it.
Who is your crush?
My amazing wife, Amy.
Lyra.

Oh dear…

*hugs* Sorry Lyra... sucks when programs crash and reset your progress... has happened to my writing a few times... I don't save often enough when writing...

mythic-swirl

Sorry! I saw this last night, but I forgot to answer it!

Yeah… that was a real pain. But if you can, you just gotta get back to it and make it even better, right? Right!

And remember to hit that save button.

Um…. no. Rarity doesn’t really like to have loud instruments in the house.

Hmm… I know that one Spike that left had a drumset… Twilight is out of town… Before I go breaking into a library, I’ll try and talk to Mint tomorrow. Maybe she knows where we can ~~get~~ borrow a free set.
