Ask Lyra

Hey Lyra, had any chance to try out that electric Lyre? Just wondering, no rush.
Oh, if ya need any guitar or bass with your Spoonman recording, I might be able to help.

It sounds… weird. And I’m having trouble controlling the sound with magic. I don’t think it’s gonna work.

Maybe I’ll try the song again some other time. I’m just so put off by it right now.

Going to sleep now.
Zach, what did we learn from all of this?
A-Everypony in this town is crazy.
Besides that, Zach. Think. what was the place the EG mentioned?
A-Royal Committee For Armaments Testing
That’s right Zach. Now that I think about it, he was probably threatening to kill us.
Who else was aware of the existsence of the Manecoat Killer?
A-Lyra
Right, Zach. She seems like a nice person. Ilike her. Not in a weird way, though.
Who is hiding something from us?
A-Twilight Sparkle.
That’s right, Zach. What was she hiding?
A-Her past.
Right, Zach. She wouldn’t tell anyone about the bullies or the history with raves. Someone else was also hiding a secret. Do you remember who?
A-Spike.
That’s right, Zach. He would not admit what B-Movie scared him. Maybe we should press him on that a bit more when we get the chance.
Good night, Zach. I hope we have good dreams, and less of those strange ones with the red rooms.

You are now my favorite page on tumblr. Instantly. I am in such a good mood now!

...
I'm afraid I have no idea what that means...

Oh, unless Bon-Bon stops me you’re about to.

Have you and Octavia ever performed a duet together? That would be awesome.

ask-snails-the-swag-master-deac

I’ve only ever played with Octavia two or three times at large symphony-style gatherings. Octavia is too good compared to me, I’d mess up whatever piece we’re playing…

DANGIT, you saw through my plot, I was going to see if my anti-magic serum that lasts for 45 minutes would work, apparently your "Meta Powers" kicked it.
Oh well, might as well do THIS~!
*jams it in Lyras mouth*
*runs off laughing*

You must be new here.

Aww dont worry about it Lyra, it was fine. My little failures: Practice is magic, right ? I didnt mind it. Hard song to cover with just a lyre.

ask-gestapony-deactivated201110

Well, if that was the only problem… Well, it wouldn’t have been a problem!

I dunno… I was real excited about that one…

Hey Lyra, here's a lollypop, I want you to eat it.
Nothing special, just a gift after all the insanity.

queenfrau

I don’t take candy from strangers.

Seriously. One too many ponies disappeared one Halloween night in Canterlot…

Too many ponies disappeared all the time growing up…

Poor planning made me cut it short. I asked Pon3 the question without the Anon mask on.

He (she? i'm confused) published it and i had to rush everything. Next time, i will be sure to do it better. Will probably get someone to help me too.

Well, good luck with it! Though I think ponies will be looking for it now!

Whats the hardest song to play with the lyre for you ?

ask-gestapony-deactivated201110

So far? Spoonman.

Trying to forget about that little failure, though.

Yeah… Something’s wrong with that pony… Something way more than he realizes…
___________
Um... Miss Lyra? You, do know I can read, don't you?

typeandprint-deactivated2012012

Do I look like I care, rich boy?

By the way, you keep ruffling Gilda’s feathers and I’ll have a few more drinks and we’ll see where that leads us.

is your talent playing the thingy with strings? :ooo

askdinky-hooves-deactivated2012

Well, my talent is playing one of the thingies with strings! There’s a whole lot of different types of string insturments.

The one I play is called the lyre!

The survey, i had fun working on it. I noticed that some of the ponies were incredibly cruel over rather harmless things. (i believe Typewryter crippled the assailant permanently... over a single cupcake.).

I thought it would probably help others get some perspective as to just how far you really have to go. I really don't know if anyone did, but i certainly learned a lot about everyone here.

martymcflystranded-deactivated2

Yeah… Something’s wrong with that pony… Something way more than he realizes…

I was a little sad you didn’t ask me what I’d do! But I still think it came out great!

h-hello sorry if anyone has mentioned it before (hard to keep up), have you seen the comic First Meet? was posted at Equestria Daily a while ago

hoppie-glitter

No, but I just read through it so far.

Uh… Interesting? I don’t know. It always feels weird to read fanfiction about me, and doubly so when Bon-Bon is in it too.

I’ve never had amnesia, if that’s what your asking. I almost wonder if I’d be better off if I did…

But without the pregnant part.

omg haha MuseScore <3

Pfft, whatever…

Meta powers isn’t always right, you know.

I've always wondered... do you record your covers (which are amazing, by the way) with actual instruments, or do you use digital instruments in a program like Garageband?

Anonymous

Meta powers and I have conflicting answers…

I play these things on a lyre or my sitar in the unused room in our house. It’s not the best set up, because I can’t, for example, listen to what I’ve got while recording for an overlay or it’ll feedback into the mic while I’m playing.

But meta powers will argue that I use some computer program. But I only use Audacity for minor tweaks to volume.
