Ask Lyra

If you wanna wanna compete with everypony else on here, you're gonna have to step up your game and draw your responses. How about you try that right now?

I dunno. Pinkie Pie is pretty popular, right? She doesn’t draw at all.

Besides, if I drew something right this instant, that would just play into your hoof. I’m too smart for that.

I think.

Is it true you want to be human, and if so why?

Anonymous

What’s a human? I keep seeing it pop up every now and again, but whenever I do a Poony search, I can’t find anything.

…

Meta powers apologies if only using two O’s is too vague a reference. It’s kinda early.

I'll be making an account, and I'll be coming back
is that cool?

Bon-bon laughed at first, then I told her ponies all over the world could see this.

Then I laughed.

I would indeed free myself from anonymity
but alas, this is not my account, so for respect to my brother, I shall not post with his name

Just make another one, brony.

Or not I guess. It doesn’t really concern me.

This is probably a stupid question to ask, but what are meta powers?

Anonymous

You know.

The ability to see beyond the veil… into realities not of our own… to be granted information one could not otherwise possess.

Hold on, maybe meta powers can explain it better.

…

Basically, the ability to make a joke about the fact that I’m a pony talking to humans on the internet, when I’m actually a bowling ball dreaming I’m a plate of sashimi.

…

I rarely know what the hay meta powers is talking about.

"The Closer" refers to a specific subset of lawyers dedicated to working out either plea bargains between a DA's office and a defendant or working out business buyouts. They're often referred to a "closers." Incidentally, the new Equestria Network show "Saddles" is about business-oriented closers.

Also, question: if ponies watch TV, why haven't they shown any TVs in the show? Is the show actually an Equestrian equivalent of a sitcom?

Ugh… meta powers kickin’ in fierce this time.

…

Meta powers says it read an official MLP tumbler that says we don’t have television, or any entertainment machine beyond a radio or a vinyl player. Computers are supposed to be those huge, honking, room-sized monstrosities, and electricity is supposed to either be generated by lightening or magic.

With that in mind. I shouldn’t even have a computer, I mean, Bon-bon and I aren’t exactly poor, but we certainly aren’t saving up much right now. Only way we could afford DVRs and computers would be if they were at regular, house-hold prices.

I think what meta powers is driving at is, we have access to whatever can make a decent punchline. A lot of nonsense, but there you go.

So, upon reading some posts, you asked how that would work between two mares. I... won't tell you, but Twilight has a book on it. Seriously, she has a book. A storybook, mind, and it required two UNICORNS, and only ponies in CANTERLOT seem to believe it,but my point is proven. I think. Don't ask her why she kept it. Really, I mean, i still have the bruises.

… I’m waiting for meta powers to kick in…

…

… Looks like even they got nothing this time.

So, Lyra. What made you decide to take up learning the lyre in the first place?

Glad someone got that joke from earlier (unless you skipped over it entirely).

Honestly? ‘cause as a filly harps were too big. My cutie mark represents settling for what’s tangible. Grand dreams are nice, but it’s always important to keep one hoof on the ground.

is Lyrica your mother? and is Lyr your daughter?

sugoiney-weaver

Who?

And again, don’t have a daughter, or any offspring.

How do you play the lyre without fingers?

I was going to give you a serious answer, but meta powers kicked in before I could even start typing and told me to ask you ‘how do you type with boxing gloves on?’

I don’t really get it, but absurd comedy can be funny too, I guess.

not all of them anons is me, I'm legit
granted, I admit that I think you and Bonbon would be a great couple, but I'm not gonna force that

Free yourself from anonymity and it’d be easier to tell you apart from the metaphorical ‘legion’.

I dunno, brony. It’s cool hangin’ out with Bon-bon, but I wouldn’t want to live with her for the rest of my life.

Hi!: Television »

asklyra:
Bon-bon DVR’d the season finale of Mares of a Certain Age, so we just finished watching that. Weird show, but I gotta say they know how to end a season. Everything is nicely tied up. If they want to do another season, they can. If not, it’s all good.
On the over hoof, Stable M.D. went off the deep end on it’s season finale. I mean, it’s a hugely popular show, so it would never happen. But if it was suddenly canceled, that would be a horrible ending!
Anyway, Bon-bon is stoked that The Closer is starting back up next week.
…
Meta powers apologize that I don’t have a pun for that name, but I don’t know what they’re talking about.
How about…”The Crouper”?

Hold on…

…

Have to channel meta powers cause I have no idea what you’re talking about…

…

Meta powers is worried that might be too vague, unless specifically explained. But, whatever’s funny!

I don't feel like I need any proof to back up my statement that I like you
you have, through your actions, given me the reason to do so

We’ll see how long I can keep your attention.

Anonymous is a fickle thing.
