1) Hello, Vinyl! Didn’t really expect to hear from you on here!

2) Lyra: I don’t have my sexuality in question! You might have my sexuality in question, but I have no questions!

Bon-Bon: [Audiable exhale]

3) I’ve seen fanatical artwork where Bon-Bon was shoving a bunch of red-ringed X-Box 360s down my throat. What you said doesn’t even register on Lyra’s creepy meter anymore.

4) Ah, yes. The punk-rock anthem. All rise!

5) Bon-Bon: Really? Disappointed, sure. But shocked? I’m not trying to call into question your detective-ing ability or anything…

Lyra: I maintain that this whole thing is a load of crap. “Oh no! Denial!” Whatever…

Lyra: I don’t believe this…

Bon-Bon: Thank you so much for seeing us, your highness!

Princess Twilight Sparkle: It’s my pleasure! I’m delighted by this opportunity!

Lyra: I don’t belieeeeeeeeve this…

1) Bon-Bon: I’m sorry, Black Strawberry, but this isn’t really a good time. Lyra and I are going through a bit of a… Okay, things are terrible between us at the moment. I don’t feel we need anything, or anypony else complicating matters further. There is a shelter in Ponyville. If you haven’t been staying there or have nopony else to call on, I would recommend it over the streets.

Bon-Bon: … I’m sorry. This must seem terribly rude and inconsiderate. I’d just really rather not add another element to this… mess… Things have gotten out of hoof as is.

2) Lyra: My third coltfriend was the soccer player. My second was the… He saved my life once… you know…?

Bon-Bon: I know, Lyra.

3) It’s not like it all happens on the same day.

4) Lyra: I’m a little preoccupied at the moment. Even without the work schedule added in.

Bon-Bon: … Because you work so much more than I do…

Lyra: You know what, Bon-Bon?! I-!

5) I don’t know how to play a guitar. I can only play the sitar a little. And only while it’s laying down; I can’t actually play it while I’m holding it, which makes live performances a little difficult. Nevermind that the song is eighteen minutes long (Edit: Content advisory) and I don’t think I could kept it going the entire time.

?: I’m glad you could both make it. As this concerns both of you I feel it is a necessity.

Bon-Bon: Of course!

Lyra: Sure thing, Doc. Nopony else I’d rather be trapped in a room with against my will than you.

?: Thank you. Once again, I am Doctor Reification. We are here today to continue the discussion our friend Lyra and her style of alcohol consumption-

Bon-Bon: Welcome home, Lyra. Enjoy your shift?

Lyra: Ugh… Don’t you have work in the morning?

Bon-Bon: I’ll manage. I hope you didn’t think this was over.

[Doorknob turn]

[LOUD VIBRATION]

Lyra: Ahgh! Ga-ha-hod! My head!

Bon-Bon: Well you really did it this time, Lyra.

Lyra: Go away!

1) Bon-Bon: That sounds awful. Although…

2) Absolutely! Everypony is invited to Thanksgiving again! Even sexxi-bbz!

3) Oh, Hearthswarming I wouldn’t mind so much. But Nightmare Night is a festival. It’s not technically a holiday so I didn’t get overtime.

And the past is in the past.

4) Well, it wasn’t great, but it was better than it began. So there’s that at least. Thanks!

5) No. If you couldn’t tell, I’ve intentionally omitted specific aspects of the event so as to not attract unwanted attention. I’ve never even used the public name of the thing to avoid the possibility of a post of mine being connected via tags. If you want to learn about it, I can give you a place to start. But if you want to know more or check different sources, you’ll have to research it yourself.

1) Well now… I’ve never heard it called that before.

2) Bon-Bon: That doesn’t sound right… Even high school students would be back to their studies by then. Who would take those jobs?

3) It didn’t ultimately matter. I worked all night.

4) I got to eat candy, but I didn’t really dress up much.

Yes, the candy was stolen.

5) Bon-Bon: Haha! We showed this to Tootsie before Nightmare Night and she almost started crying about how she didn’t want twigs in her mane! But since we both had to work, she wound up traveling with a group.

1) Bon-Bon: And say what to them? “I need some help for the next four months and after that you’re out. But hey! If you’re lucky I might hire you back for six months next year!”

Bon-Bon: Nopony if any credibility is going to work for that. At least not for what I could afford to pay them.

2) Too much hand to stand.

3) I haven’t, but I’m not surprised; I hated the first one. The real headtrip is that Lion King 2 was pretty good.

4) I was aware of the general idea of it for a while, but this message got me to look more into it. I found a quote that sums up my feelings pretty well. “It would be absurd if it hadn’t forced people out of their homes for fear of their personal safety.”

For anypony on the side of ethics in game journalism, if that’s what your real concern is, why would you banner behind something that was originally formed to deliberately harass somepony?

For that matter, why care about game journalism at all? I’ve taken it with a grain of salt for most of my life. Some of my favorite games received extremely negative reviews or little publicity, so why should I care what somepony else reports on? They already don’t know what’s good.

If you have some other reason to side with it, I have nothing to say to you.

5) Get with the times.

Bon-Bon: Okay, so adequately explaining the mood we were walking into during the wedding requires some context. So-

Tootsie: Is this the pirate story?!

Bon-Bon: Yes, this is the pirate story.

Tootsie: I love the pirate story!

Bon-Bon: I know. I know. Okay, so. Well over a thousand years ago there lived two orphan siblings- a brother and a sister.

1) Lyra: …

Bon-Bon: Hey, you forgave me for that. You can’t go back and blame me again; that’s double jeopardy.

Lyra: None of your business.

2) Bon-Bon: Oh gosh. I’ve been so busy… And at this point the story is hardly worth the wait. Plus it would require some context… Let me see what I can do.

3) Bon-Bon: Ugh…

4) Tootsie: I’m gonna be a forest princess! Mom got me my own bow!

Bon-Bon: Nothing this year. I’m going to be working through Nightmare Night. Have to make up for lost time somewhere.

Lyra: I kinda want to go as, like, an animal.

5) Bon-Bon: I wouldn’t go that far. Ribbon is going to want to pick out who teaches her, when, where, with who, etc. Control control control.

1) It’s pretty disappointing. But Mii Lyra is a brawler, of course. And the only problem I’ve been having is how the 3DS’s button configuration doesn’t transfer from the old GC controls very well.

2) Lyra: Eh…

Bon-Bon: Don’t listen to her. We all had a fabulous time! And Liza was very interested! And since archery is considered a noble martial art, it shouldn’t be hard to convince her parents to allow her to pursue that further.

3) No… I’m drawing a blank… I was thinking maybe a timberwolf…

1) Meat is murder.

2) Because I love Bubbie! She was the whole reason I started watching Flapjack! She’s, like, one of the best characters ever!

3) Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that there was anything wrong with that. It can be easier to process the world when everything is a little neater.

Just… you know, be careful about it. That sort of thing is how stereotyping is created. “You are this, so you look/act this way.”

4) Bon-Bon: I’ll make time. And as long as it’s after school hours, there’s no reason Liza can’t make it either. And if her work calls, Lyra is to say she can’t pick up any hours on that day. Isn’t that right, Lyra?

Lyra: Ugh…

5) Why would you need my help? I thought you already won. After all, there’s a skeleton in all of us.

6) Oh for pony’s sake… This is why conspiracy theory is synonymous with crazy.

1) I’d ask why humans feel such a strong need to classify and label things, like personal theologies, but I guess that’d only be proving your point, wouldn’t it?

2) At first I thought the Running of the Leaves happened while we were gone, but I’ve since been reminded that happens at the end of fall, not the start.

I’ve also been informed by Bon-Bon that I am participating this year. Yay.

3) As long as the stars align and everypony does exactly what they’re supposed to do, nothing bad will ever happen! But how many things have to go wrong for somepony to take an arrow to the bottom? I’m betting it’s a short list.

4) I have two days off next week! I’m not going to want to do anything on the first one, so how about next Tuesday?

5) Lyra: My theory is that she was trying to say she beefed, you know, farted.

Tootsie: Hey! How come you’re allowed to say fart?

Lyra: Because I’m over a decade older than you. Fart fart fart.

Bon-Bon: Lyra! Stop saying that word!

Lyra: Sorry!

Tootsie: Hehe.

6) Sorry for being sorry about both things I was sorry for.

1) Liza goes home on the weekends. She’s not going to be able to go if it’s that late or on a weekend.

Also, “It’ll be fun!” brings us back to the amusement park argument.

2) I did not. Though to be honest, I actually can’t remember what I used for most of the game. I know I wore heavy armor and used a shield, and I know I switched weapons a lot on my second run.

Edit: Oh! I remember now! It was Estoc from the New Londo Ruins!

I wish I had a Wii U… Not that I’ve ever cared so much about the Zelda franchise, but I want to play as Ruto and Midna!

3) Well, that would be presumptuous. In theory, they could beat me up.

4) Let me tell you something, Bbz. That’s a terrible [omitted] habit. You need to break that [omitted] with the quickness.

5) Bbz, I went on a date with York once. Of course I knew about his prosthetic tail. It’s not something I’d just bring up though- that’s rude.

6) Lyra: You didn’t nearly have an ice cloud come crashing down on your head.

Bon-Bon: I’m assuming the arrows at this range are normal.

Lyra: You know what happens when you assume.
