1) I don’t think it’s illegal.

2) Technically twice. I went to bed in the A.M. Then I had some stuff to do around town this morning.

3) Pretty young. Wasn’t forced to or anything, but… Well I’ve made a lot of mistakes.

4) Stop asking stupid questions.

5) Hulk Lyra’s friend.

6) Seems to.

7) I know this one. They’re usually shorter words, like Ant, Bee, Cat; that sort of thing.

B: Z is Zander and U is Urchin. You were right about S being Snake, though. From the reports, he does a lot of negotiations these days.

1) Woah woah woah. If that’s all you got out of that post then you’re better off forgetting you ever read it.

2) I’m sure it was all supposed to be temporary.

3) …

Well, thanks anyway…

4) You’re up, B.

B: The letters have no correlation with who they’re assigned to. V is new; I’ve yet to hear of anything noteworthy about him. I don’t know that I’ve ever met the current X at all. He and V are two of the new ones. T’s nickname is Tick. Most of the nicknames are associated with animals.

B: P is a little strange. P is supposed to be Panda, but he wants everypony to call him Peacock. There is no Q of CUE; there’s only twenty-five of us. I don’t recall Z being sleepy. I is pronounced in conversation as one. U is pronounced as either “oo” or “un.” How big is giant? Most, if not all of us can cause ourselves to expand at least a little, it’s just never a wise decision to make yourself a larger target.

5) B: Yes. Alphabet. As in Human English alphabet. The ponynet may be relatively new, but we’ve known about you humans for quite some time.

6) B: Well, there’s a reason everypony says D is a [omitted].

He really is. When does he retire?

B: Next year.

Celestial Unified Elite.

Shhh~…

1) I know B, D, and I knew J before she retired. I’ve met or seen a few others but only briefly.

And no, it doesn’t. Good song, though.

2) No comment.

3) My life is fine. Aren’t you stuck in the dark world?

4) Muscles? General shape of his body? He does take really good care of his fur, though…

5) Too many calories; not enough activity.

Also bite me.

6) I think you missed your mark. Of course, she might not answer for a while.

7) Hey! Guess which meme stopped being funny after the first time?!

8) [Audible sigh]

That message was from a few months ago. It made me feel… good. Significant. I-… I have no idea why I’m trying to explain this to an anon that was laughing at me.

9 & 10) Thanks, Strawberry. Unless that second one isn’t you. But I’m pretty sure it is.

You still haven't had to deal with ducks though, right? Just remember Lyra, ducks are the point of a true, complete, utterly hopeless, irredeemable, despairing situation. However, I do believe anything without ducks still have the tiniest chance of being set as straight as possible, and I believe the same for your situation. Unless there are ducks in it.

No! No! It’s nothing! I know what you were getting at and it’s not any kind of innuendo! It’s just… If you knew what I knew you’d realize how funny and true that sounds!

Excuse me-!

Oh Celestia- Ha ha ha ha ha! [Gasp] HAH HAH HAH! Bee would be rolling on the floo~r! AAAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAA~!

What happened that CUE had to show up?

I can’t comment.

Yet…

Is everything from the last 2 days... resolved? I want to make sure you are alright.

Your guess is as good as mine.

There’s still some precautions in place.

Be that as it may, but my offer still stands and I can't guarantee I'll be willing to sit idle for very long... I get involved as I see fit, my dear, invited or not... As for the one offering his editorial asides, no, she did not contact me, I'm making a legitimate offer of my own free will and, as far as you know, I may be just outside already... now wouldn't that be funny?

Listen to me with your ears. Do. Not. Get. Involved.

All I can say about it is what was already said. CUE were operating under direct orders from Princess Celestia. If you act against them, you act against her and the entire country.

And the Princess means the world to me. You wouldn’t be doing me any favors.

Oh. The dragon's dead now. Wonder if it's not too late to try and get some of his horde for myself.

If he dies on Equestrian soil without naming an heir… The money goes to fund the country… Right?

B: Right.

Thank you?

B: What is-…

Don’t-Don’t worry about it.

i wouldnt say you are the best pony, but i say that only because i have heard about some great ponies. but you are one of the best ponies i have met. our god-queen(s) sounds like she should be best poni, but i really havent met her so i wouldnt know.

B: I can definitely agree to that.

As long as it’s the right Princess Celestia.

At least it seems like you and your.. buddy.. are getting along better! ~ ask-seapony-lyra

He’s an old friend. He’s just trying to get my goat and stop me from moping about.

B: That’s not to say I’m not prepared to do my job either.

Not not?

B: Now who’s trying to get who’s goat?

It uz siriusness ok!?7 BTW Lyro u tail dat prep 2 go anh exploud.

Go explode, prep.

B: I’ll be sure to.

Well, my bad Fanfiction-ese is a bit rusty, but I believe Raven-whatever said: "My word, Lyra! This person seems to be quite unpleasant. You have my condolences."

B: Hey! You could answer this with a clip from that old Hong Kong Phooey show! The opening, just before the theme song, where he says-

“Could be!” Yeah, I’ve done it before.

B: Oh…
