1) Nothing happened! Though I will have to hold on to any questions intended for Bon-Bon for now. She’s not with me.
I’m sort of house-sitting for a friend in Canterlot. She went to a resort with a bunch of her friends, but she has two dogs that need looking after.
2) B: Maybe. But it does make them criminals.
3) I don’t think so, but I love it! I think it’s fantastic!
4) Well, where I am right now isn’t bad! I want to take some pictures of the flowers around her home at some point! There’s these beautiful blue ones outside the window of the guest bedroom I’m sleeping in!
Well, uh… Sort of not at home tonight. Not really sure about my schedule for the next few days. This was sort of sudden. I’ll get back to you ponies later.
I found this old mixtape my second coltfriend gave me. It was sort of done ironically, even back then. He did a bunch of them, but I don’t know where the other ones are. This one was Megaman themed. Some of them I listened to so much the tape started to wear out.
Anyway, I’ve been sitting here listening to it… and… I don’t guess I have anything else to say right now.
Edit: As soon as I posted this, a sad song started playing…
I… I do miss him sometimes, even with how things ended up between us…
1) Bon-Bon: Strictly candies? The molded, powdery stuff can be pretty tough. But outside of candy I have a pretty tough time with truffles for some reason.
Bon-Bon: … Wait, I think I misread. Oh. Sorry, I don’t give out recipes. That’s kinda how I make money.
2) Bon-Bon: Ha ha, okay, I think you win.
3) Phase-style like Disgaea or per character-style like Final Fantasy Tactics?
4) You’re not real.
5) I don’t own one, but I borrow one from time to time.
1) B: What kind of officer of the law condones vigilantism?
Lyra: B…
B: I’m serious!
3) My Mother was an Earthbound.
4) Sure! That’s how I answer questions! Still not as common as in your world, though. But hey! I even have a Manedroid smartphone!
1) Nope. My nightmares tend to have closer ties with reality.
2) Interesting. So is it, like, an action game? An RTS? An SRPG?
3) Bon-Bon: Cooler than cool… is icing!
Lyra: No. Bad, Bon-Bon.
Bon-Bon: Oh, don’t be such a… sour-tart!
Lyra: Bon-Bon, stahp.
Bon-Bon: You just wish you could be one of the… smarties like me.
Lyra: BoN-BON!
4) This is why I say things like “I don’t know a whole lot about government.” I know plenty about things I’m well-versed in, but stuff like this is completely beyond me. There might very well be an office dedicated to helping foals get their cutie marks. That’s really stupid if there is, but I honestly have no idea.
5) Whoops! My bad! Must be something in the water.
#179 “Loud Music”
Woah. Didn’t expect that. I do like metal, but I’m not going to pretend I’m terribly versed in metalcore, or any core really. There certainly is quite a bit of emotion there, though! Very spiritual, in a gritty way.
1) It sounds like a flashback, other than the friend being there. That makes it sound like a hallucination. Unless the friend really was there but she blocked that part out. That makes it sound like a screenplay.
But I don’t know. I’ve never had anything like that. I’m alone with whatever’s happening in most of my flashbacks, even if others were there.
2) Is that what it’s called? I haven’t, but I know of a seapony that lives there.
3) B: C is Cat. The nicknames are all on the shorter side.
4) B: I don’t hate him. I don’t care enough to hate him. But all adventurers belong to the same collection of self-entitled drains on society. Individuals that don’t want to preform a task under scrutiny or by regulations. They don’t do anything that an organized group can’t do safer, faster, do so legally, and without hiding their findings from the government. They’d even be paid to do it. They just wouldn’t get to swipe historic artifacts or illegally practice banned magic.
5) That sounds like a good idea! I don’t know that he’s answering questions right now, though, given how busy he is. But feel free to send a message his way! I’m sure he’ll get to it eventually!
S: My apologies. I am known simply as S, or occasionally as Snake. While I appreciate your compliments, I believe the entire situation here has been grossly misunderstood. Not your fault, of course. The two individuals you spoke with previously were ill-informed and I would like to apologize on their behalf. As such, and as a sign of goodwill, I would like to freeze any action regarding the texts until we’ve managed to come to an understanding.
1) B: Why are you asking?
2) B: I don’t appreciate the notion of capital punishment. Death is not a punishment; it’s a necessary evil to remove those who refuse to reform. Dragons are usually the only ones that require such an unfortunate consequence. They have a tendency to refuse change or accept defeat.
B: There is a magical alternative, but it’s scarcely any better. If a subject cannot be rehabilitated or reeducated, circumstances sometimes make mental reprogramming an option. The subject’s identity is eliminated and replaced with a different one.
3) I have! And you’re right they do! I haven’t seen the show in a while, but I grew to love it!
4) What’s a jet?
5) Not that I mean to offend anypony, but it does sound somewhat juvenile. So much so that I’m left wondering about age. If they’re still in adolescence, I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve known others that felt that way and gradually grew into a more broad tolerance, if not outright acceptance. If they have reached adulthood, well, technically it’s their decision. It’s not a bad decision. It doesn’t cause them physical harm. It might eliminate many opportunities for various relationships, but it’s their life.
Either way their outlook on “adult things” is not really any of your business, if it’s not hurting anypony.
1) No… I mean, I don’t even have… Or… Does hearing and seeing things…? Are flashbacks hallucinations?
2) Bon-Bon: Are you kidding? I make candy!
Lyra: She mixes it with love and makes the world taste good.
3) Lyra: And then you just speak into it. It already recognizes your voice, I just have to tag it when you’re done.
S: Very well then. Black Strawberry, I believe it was. Lovely to make your acquaintance. I understand you’ve come upon quite a collection you’re willing to part with. Canterlot, Equestria, and the Princess herself appreciates your willingness in this matter. Now, first things first; make no attempt to transfer the books yourself. This would create a massive security issue on our end as far too many factors would be left unaccounted for. As security is our utmost priority that would be undesirable. A number of high ranking and trustworthy individuals will aid in the transport of your library beginning directly from your place of residence.
S: With that out of the way, due to the sheer size of the collection you have amassed, ordinary payment would be quite an insult to you. Regulations place a very concrete limitation on purchases between the royal family and any financial transactions wherein that which was purchased was not an explicitly commissioned service; or in other words, goods. Thus, we are pressed to come to an agreement on some other form of payment for the materials in question.
S: To that end, I would like to begin the transaction by asking what you would deem a suitable replacement for legal tender in our bartering process.
4) Things are fine, but I don’t get to see him a whole lot right now. He’s super busy working on his doctorate. But if there’s anything in this world I can wait for, it’s him.
