I know right? What a completely new and original concept that’s never been done before, ever.

But it’s not really the genre of game that interests me so much as it is SWERY’s involvement. He’s really good at character development/interaction. And I don’t know if he can ever top Deadly Premonition’s plot twist, but I’m sure there’ll be something way deeper than turning into house pets once a month.

Isn’t that right, Jolteon?

Jolteon: Oh absolutely!

Jolteon: Jolteon! Jo-jolt! Jolteon-on jo-jolt. Jolte-e-eon! Jolteon!

Miltank: Miltank!

Jolteon: Ooooo… lteon.

And here’s something a little less April Foolsy.

Finished my run through of Pokemon Yellow last night when I got the last TM. Now I have all the tools ready for Sun/Moon, including a Mew with Soft-Boiled.

Anyway here’s Rocket Hideout.

Fluttershy: It seems kind of silly and funny at first, then it got darker and darker…

Fluttershy: I… uh… didn’t finish it…

Fluttershy: Sorry.

P. Luna: From the future?! This is most serious, Lyra. We must get to the bottom of this post-haste! Tis a shame such a dreadful occurrence would fall upon this day of merriment.

Lyra: I don’t think you understand, your highness.

P. Luna: Have you the benefit of knowledge on this subject? Please, enlighten us as to the nature of this dash- is it of the Rainbow variety? And upon what am I to withhold our voice upon so as to avoid its “eyesore”?
Lyra: I our?
P. Luna: Eye hour? I-We said… Oh… Heh heh heh.
Lyra: You’re a-
P. Luna: Hahaha!
Lyra: You’re breaking character your majesty!
P. Luna: AH HAHAHAHAHA!
Lyra: Hahaha!

P. Luna: Oh I so love participating in this every year! So much fun to overact!

Lyra: And I love having you here! Thank you so much for flying out here every year!

P. Luna: Wouldn’t miss it for the world!

Muffins: Yes! It is I, Lyra Unicorn-!
Lyra: No M. It says who you-
Muffins: And I absolutely love humans! I would never give up on my search and study to prove they exist-! And possibly become one. It is my passion in life that completely ignores my cutie mark. I also love to sit on benches and walk on my hindlegs! I do it all the time and they are integral parts of what makes me, me! I have nearly no noticeable interest in music and sometimes wear a hoodie and pretend nopony knows who I am! I’d love to go party with you, but I have to slip past my girlfriend Bon-Bon, who I am only depicted arguing with, and go emulate humans to a maddening, obsessive degree- for no explainable reason!

Muffins: How was that?

Lyra: That was great, MH. Thanks for coming!

Muffins: Of course! I love to help!

Well, seeing as I have no more questions, I guess I gotta end early again. Had a lot of ponies scheduled that never got to do anything. I’ll just address this one message.

Lyra: My speech recognition program has two settings. It either detects who is talking or it just writes down everything that’s said. Now first of all, I have to go in and manually program it to detect each new pony, which is a long, painful task. Doing that for every single pony is a chore and runs into time constraint issues, as most guests only have so long to be here. We already have to pick out the question, throw some ideas around about what would be a good set-up or-

Rarity: Be so ridiculous that… it’s just silly.

Lyra: Rehearse it, record it, usually several times. It would just be one more step we don’t have time for. Especially when some of these guests might not come back. The other reason is that some of the supposed “answerers” aren’t really here. Obviously I couldn’t really get Chrysalis from last year. And Sombra-

Rainbow Dash: Evaporated.

Princess Twilight Sparkle: Vaporized would be more accurate.

Lyra: I couldn’t get Trixie last year, but she did come this year. A. K. Yearling formally declined. Scooby Doo and Shaggy are completely out of the question, seeing as they’re cartoon characters-

Discord: [pirate accent] You’d best start believin’ in cartoon characters…

Lyra: … Right… Anyway… Actually I think I’m done. Thank you to everypony that participated, with special thanks to our princesses! Happy April Fools and regular updates will resume whenever I get a message!

I don’t… I don’t know for certain. I’m not sure what a BOFA exam is.

BOFA deez nuts.

… I… What?

BOFA deez nuts, darling.

Um… I… I must be misunderstanding.

Don’t worry about it, dear. Just a foalish prank.

Uh… Hmm… This must be one of those smart questions, right? Where the answer is, like, something to do with how the question is worded? Alright. I got this.

Rainbow Dash.

Don’t tell me! I got this!

Rainbow Dash.

I said hold on! I just need a minute! I read books! I’m smart now!

Rainbow Dash! I don’t think it’s a smart question. I think it’s supposed to be a joke. A corrupted amalgamation of two phrases.

… Amalgamation. Right. I was gonna say that.

Well that’s just super-duper A-OK in my book! The Cakes were getting worried the shipment wasn’t coming at all! But you have now reassured me, floating ball with just-deal-with-it shades! I’ll go tell the Cakes! Hmm hmmhmm hmmhmm hmmhmm.

… What’s a truck?

Scoob, like get a load of this.

Rou retter rot rep ron rour roes, runk.

Like, you tell ‘em, Scoob!

No.

No. You have it backwards. You’re placing emphasis on the wrong thing. It should be: “Comparing yourself to me? You’re not even good enough to be my fake,” Shadow the Hodghog brooded. If you’re just using a dialog tag you don’t want that at the start of your sentence. That’s boring. You’re leading with the wrong hoof.

If you’re describing something: an action, a facial feature- sure. Especially if it takes place before the speech. But dialog tags are just to eliminate any confusion with who’s talking. Even any kind of inflection is an afterthought. A means of not repeating “blank says” “blank said”.

Was I seriously dragged all the way out here for this? If I wanted to run a writer’s workshop I could be getting paid for it.

CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS BLOG EDITORS! YAY!

…

Nothing.

Aw…

Ugh! This one was perfect!

Oh hoho, I think it’s been a while since I’ve been there!

We’ve regrettably been without such a blessing. Upon our return there were many a lesson to be learned. And there is no rubric to the knowledge of a millennia’s passing.

I for one consider everyday to be a fantastic opportunity to learn!

Well, I have been tutored recently on how to properly receive a foreign dignitary.

Ah yes… The dreaded foreign dignitary. Advisory in a conflict with stakes too great to lose, but impossible to win.

I had no idea.

And I thought I was the only one stressing out over their visit!

Far be it, Cadance. There can be no “friendly visit” when it comes to foreign affairs. One must receive them warmly, and make every effort not to offend. But also demonstrate your might and inspire awe. Affirm your solidarity to allies, and establish your dominance to the ambitious. And all in tandem. For today’s comrade is tomorrow’s political rival. And if you’re lucky then… Are you transcribing our conversation?

Me? Oh, I’m taking notes! This is incredible information! A first-hoof account, no less!
