1) Sorry! I wasn’t at home last night or I’d have snagged that first like. I was at a Hearth’s Warming party. Second one this season! Feels great to get out of the house!
2) Bon-Bon: Well, of course it is. It’s just not something you get to choose. If I could choose I’d be known far and wide for my incredible candy store, Sweetie Drops, and the delectable candy I produce!
Lyra: Nice advert.
Bon-Bon: Why do you think I originally agreed to answer questions on here?
3) Duo is my favorite Gundam character, but there was this one series I thought was pretty cool that took place on Earth in some sort of guerrilla war. I don’t remember what it was called.
Marty was a good- uh… I guess man is the word. He looked to be having a little trouble and I hope he managed to get things sorted out.
I remember that Scootaloo… things seem so different now.
1) Bon-Bon: Unfazed? Everypony already thinks she’s better than me.
Bon-Bon: I’m just boring ol’ Bon-Bon. Never to be seen without Lyra. I can’t tell if that’s worse or better than being known as the human-obsessed pony.
2) Happy Hearth’s Warming! Merry Christmas!
3) Lyra: Thanks! The socks are great for this cold weather!
Bon-Bon: I love it! Harrison Ford is the best character ever!
Lyra: Don’t you mean Han Solo is the best character ever?
Bon-Bon: I know what I said.
Lyra: I don’t think Tootsie watches the show, but she loves the little dog thing!
4) Krastos is my special somebear. I guess my reaction might have been a little uncalled for. But we can’t get married. We haven’t really been spending much time together lately, to be honest. He’s always so busy studying and I don’t want to interrupt.
1) Oh! Why thank you!
2) If I may stop time for just a moment. Given the information that you are a human, the answer to the first posed question would be yes. You.
I saw a human once. His name was Marty.
3) Lyra: Thanks!
Bon-Bon: Thank you! You too!
4) Things would have to have taken a grimdark turn if those were discussed regularly. Also pancreas is a funny word.
5) Not that I know of. I mean, I’m sure they’re symbolic of something but I don’t know it. Hands are just a strange thing. Some ponies, like humans, are interested in things that are foreign to their understanding of the world.
Or maybe I imagined the whole thing and there is no such thing as a glass minotaur hand. I have some… I have some kinda dreams.
1) I remember this!
Boo. Wa-wa hoo-hoo hoo. (Content warning for… I mean it’s Professor Brothers. Usual Brad Neely adult shenanigans.)
2) Lyra: You know what? That’s it. That’s it! I’m gonna find one of those creepy curio shops. I’m gonna buy a… Like a glass minotaur hand or somethin’. I’m gonna set that thing on display smack-dab in the center of the living room table-
Bon-Bon: No you’re not either.
Lyra: And the next time somepony is all, “Huh huh huh, hands.” I’m gonna be all “There! Right there, mother [omitted]! I have a freakin’ hand!”
3) … What?
4) Gundam was pretty cool, sure!
Sorry about the music. I mean, I went to a Hearth’s Warming party last night and not a single Hearth’s Warming song was played.
5) How did my computer, at the receiving end of this message, automatically translate this?
And what is morse code?
1) Bon-Bon: Well, uh. Indirectly? I would say the world would have indirectly been in danger, had we failed.
Lyra: Hold up. After everything I’ve been through, Inever saved the world. You’re saying you did?
Bon-Bon: Indirectly.
Lyra: Excuse me, I’m going to go bury my head in the dirt.
2) Lyra: We got hea~a~arts; hearts strong as horse~s!
Bon-Bon: Ugh. Half the town has been singing that song since Saturday. I mean, it’s an alright song. Great work by the fillies for making it up. But all day in the shop it’s like every pony that happens by is singing or humming that song!
Lyra: We’ve got de-ter-min-ation; to rep-resent the nation- For. The. Wi~n!
1) Bon-Bon: Now now. That’s just cruel. Surely something at least half as awesome a series of events, that stretch well beyond imagination, will happen eventually. You know… Somewhere.
Lyra: … A bunch of vines from the Everfree Forest spread throughout town and wrecked up the place.
3) Lyra: Everypony in Canterlot was pretty worried about it. I seemed to be the only one that paid little heed. I guess being undaunted by theatrics has its downsides.
Bon-Bon: Good heavens, no! We would never destroy a priceless artifact! It wasn’t even enchanted. It was more like… Well… I guess like a key.
1) Bon-Bon: ‘The other day?’ Those Everfree vines invaded months ago.
Lyra: What are you talking about now?
Bon-Bon: Lyra, I know you don’t always pay attention to what’s going on, but how could you possibly… Wait a minute… [Audible Gasp] You weren’t here.
Lyra: What?
Bon-Bon: That’s right. You were in Canterlot for, like, a week. Taking pictures of flowers and house-sitting. We had it all cleaned up by the time you got back.
Lyra: You never told me about this.
Bon-Bon: Yeah yeah. But you had to have seen the sky, right?
Lyra: The day-night thing? Sure. Everypony was freaking out over it, but I just assumed it was just some promotional thing for the Summer Sunset Celebration.
Bon-Bon: Hmhmm! That means I have another secret you don’t know!
Lyra: Ugh! Bon-Bon!
3) I hope so. Seems like I haven’t done anything in forever, though.
Hope you and yours had a happy Thanksgiving!
2) Oh don’t be ridiculous. You were fine. I took a grammars class in college that opened my eyes up to how insipid a razor focus on standardized grammar is. Successfully conveying the desired information in an appropriate tone consistently is all that really matters in communication.
4) You know, I was going to change Bon-Bon’s name in the last set of questions to Roommate. But then Bon-Bon subtly reminded me of the ultimate conclusion of Scrunch Battle and I thought better of it.
1) Bon-Bon: Well, we already had a relic of sorts, so I’m going to go with the second one.
2) What? The griffon thing? What does it matter?
3) Sorry. The same thing happened to me too.
Oh! Did you get to the market and the ham-ham behind the glass? Using Scrit-T there was my favorite part of the game!
4) Simple can usually be trusted outside, but once he got out and herded a group of foals into the yard and wouldn’t let them leave.
Pretty funny looking back, but some of the kids were crying.
1) I haven’t! I was looking into it, but there’s no online emulator for GBA games. And I don’t really want to download something to play it.
I haven’t finished my first run through it, but from what I’ve gathered it sounds good! It needs a lot of work, though. Stuffed moved around, the whole piece needs to be considerably shortened, key notes that are missing. And I just don’t have any motivation right now. To do anything. I feel so tired and empty lately…
2) If I was having an affair, why would he message me? We could just talk face-to-face.
Roommate: I am presently single, but-… Did you just change my-
Lyra: Moving on!
5) Well la-dee-dah. One less cryptic pony in my life. How swell.
I once thought some group called Hasbro was responsible, but in a previous conversation I was given cause to doubt.
I thought the reason was marketing for something your world would consider strange and interesting. But if I don’t know who anymore, I don’t know why.
1) Sweet potato casserole! Woo!
Sorry about Black Friday; I went out myself. I don’t usually risk it, but I needed a new mattress. Seventy percent off and a twenty year warranty. Pretty much determined what I could afford.
2) First of all, why do you care? Secondly, how many times to I have to answer? I already said yes.
3) Lyra: Ham-Hams Unite? Well I had some issues personally, but it was an alright game. I definitely enjoyed it!
Bon-Bon: You’re freezing! Go in the other direction!
4) Absolutely! Of course, it would have been a lot more genius if collecting the words wasn’t the whole game. I mean, You don’t even use a bunch of them. Also, I feel Hamtaro and Sandy have poor characterizations. Which was a shame, because all the others were spot on (near as I can remember anyway)!
It was also missing that certain duality that the show had; switching from Hamtaro and his friends, to Laura and hers. I mean, the humans weren’t even in the game.
5) Somepony talking about a show other than Doctor Who? On this website? Unheard of.
Simple is a Blue Heeler. I think they usually call it something regional in your world. He’s beautiful, playful, smart, obedient, and very active. So very active. There is no way I could take care of this dog by myself.
1) What? I don’t watch Doctor Who.
2) Bon-Bon: Enemy camp? Wha- What does that mean? Oh! But I bet Lyra would be interested in that last part!
Lyra: …
Bon-Bon: You get it? ‘Cause your music and… Ugh, what a face on you.
Lyra: I’m gonna bite you.
3) Bon-Bon: You’re getting colder.
1) Bon-Bon: Honestly, I don’t know whether to go along with this or stick to the truth. They’re both winding up pretty funny!
Lyra: It’s not the truth!
2) Well, a princess would have martial training, wouldn’t she? I’m sure she can do more than just toss a toy.
3) Bon-Bon: Not in the traditional sense, but going to go with a yes.
Lyra: What does that even mean?!
4) Speaking of things with cryptic meanings… You mean the Everfree Forest? What about it? There’s always things to beware from there.
5) It’s easy to focus on the bad in the world. I try to find something positive to think about instead! Like children learning! Or how happy everypony is on payday!
Of course, you could try to take up a cause and fight for change. But you shouldn’t feel like you have to. Those can be long battles that you may fight your whole life for and never win. It takes a special kind of pony to do that. Sorry to say that I’m not one of them.
1) Bon-Bon: You might say it found me.
Lyra: Don’t get sucked into this. It’s just another elaborate troll.
2) Working hard or hardly working?
3) Lyra: Oh! I put strawberry throat lozenges in a colta-cola once when I was sick! That was really good!
Bon-Bon: Oh hey! I had forgot this was taken! Gosh, I don’t remember being so roughed up.
Lyra: No.
Bon-Bon: You know, we still had another two days before we reached civilization again?
Lyra: This is fake.
Bon-Bon: And even then we were far from out-of-the-woods.
Lyra: This is a mock up.
Bon-Bon: Ah memories.
Lyra: I refuse to believe this.
Bon-Bon: It was pretty unbelievable.
Lyra: Stop it!
Bon-Bon: Hmhmhm.
1) Bon-Bon: I don’t think so, I couldn’t really tell. They were wearing full body paint and some sort of multi-headed costume. Said they were some kind of mountain. Was supposed to be historical but I wasn’t really paying attention, to be honest. I think they liked human history, or something.
Lyra: I don’t have any pictures, but this should give you a general idea. I wasn’t originally going to wear the pants, but I kinda/sorta realized halfway through that I couldn’t reach back there.
Lyra: Also, Moon Shoes! Yes! We had those here too! As a heads up, you didn’t miss much. I tried a pair once. You have to land perfectly every time you jump. Got two good bounces and then twisted my ankle.
2) Interesting backgrounds, you say?
Glad your having fun and enjoying your co-workers!
3) I’m averaging around 0, outliers removed.
Why is find in quotation marks?
4) I guess that sometimes I’m… Well I’m not so sure about where I stand on a moral scale. Even as the societarian constructs they are, I don’t want to be viewed as amoral or evil.
1) Bon-Bon: ‘The other day?’ Those Everfree vines invaded months ago.
