1) Sorry. Force of habit; what with Bon-Bon’s hyphen.
But no, seriously. Who looks at their newborn and says “Oh what a sexy baby. We should give him a name to accent his sexiness.”
That’s like, awful, unfortunate, and creepy all at once.
2) Bon-Bon: Hello, dear.
3) Pretty wild. I mean, when you hear somepony go by the title “super duper party pony” you just think, “Yeah right, dude.” But that colt has got some connections to pull off the craziness he does. That birth-iversary was jumpin’ on into the sunrise. I don’t know that Princess Cadance’s wedding had as much going on. And that had a sizable budget!
asklyra did you know that bonbon used to be a nerd
did you know this.
Lyra: Used to be?
Bon-Bon: Uh huh huh huh huh. I wear contacts now, big whoop.
Lyra: Not sure where you got this, but the three of us were talking and I know the Lyra that’s in that picture behind Bon-Bon. We even hung out for a bit during Rainbow Dash’s Birth-iversary!
As an aside, ponies look at you funny when you’re standing next to somepony that looks just like you.
1) Bon-Bon: I have… space issues. How about you not do that anymore? For me.
2) That’s great! I knew it had to be possible, but my futile efforts amounted to little more than smashing my face against a wall.
3) I think I saw somepony else reply to one, but I don’t know if they got as many as I did.
4) Two of the names are even the same! Check the post again if you didn’t notice.
7) Well, if we knew ahead of time, we’d do something to help them, right? It does no good to blame ourselves.
1) I don’t remember the exact time. I want to say somewhere around 50 hours, but I spent a lot of time in the Poke Studios (which was a total waste, avoid that crap, Lemonade and Lava Cookies aren’t worth that crap) and sometimes I’d leave the game on for an hour while I look something up.
I’m currently at 80 hours. I’m at area 6 of Black Tower. All I have left to do is beat that, link with a friend that has White 2 to unlock access to the last two legendaries I’m missing, and beat Whitetail Woods.
Nice post-game in this sucker, though. About as long as the core game.
4) Uh… Well, I started with Gen 1. Gen 2 was alright. But I never played Gens 3 or 4. You didn’t ask, but I’ve liked Gen 5 well enough. And I’m expecting to enjoy Gen 6 as well, when I get to it.
But to me, part of my enjoyment in Pokemon is being able to use specific Pokemon that I like.
5) Lyra: Uh huh huh huh. That’d be funny if I ever got to eat any.
Bon-Bon: Work food is for work.
1) Woah woah woah. Slow down there Jane Row. I’m not that smart. Let me bust out dictionary.com.
“Well wishes, evil-doer or criminals! I am attempting to put to use wrongly the collection of formulas for the preparation of affordable articles of food. Who will join me!?”
… Are you trying to sell drugs for food?
2) Sure, Strawberry. Want to answer a question or two with me?
3) Lyra: Seems amazing? It’s definitely showing age, but that game was the hottest of the hot for its time.
Lyra: And clearly I would be the keen-eyed spotter to Bon-Bon’s quick-hooved digger.
Bon-Bon: Alright, sure.
Lyra: Really?
Bon-Bon: Lyra. Once again, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t play video games.
4) I’m not sure what implications are even attempting to be made by that statement.
5) Well, you just went completely out of your way to insure no pony could do the whole “lol! you can’t read cupcakes!” joke. Spoiled sport.
No. I actively avoid anything related to it.
1) I don’t know. All those closing parenthesis are making me uncomfortable.
4) Oh-Eighth Em Ess Team sounds right. Heero was kind of boring as a central focus. He wasn’t an awful character, but I’d have liked it better if any of the others had more screen time than him (preferably Duo).
I liked a lot of the old Zeon models. Zaku II, Gelgoog, Dom, Efreet. But my favorite in Wing were the OZ’s Virgos. Those things were vicious!
1) Well, I’ve always liked green for what should seem like obvious reasons. My two favorite characters to play in City of Heroes were villains (Fire/Dark Brute and Electric/Force Controller), which was also known as “red-side”. And my first Pokemon game was Pokemon Blue.
2) Lyra: A full-time job. Which I think is the same as last year.
Bon-Bon: I don’t know. This heavy workload half the year is starting to wear on me. Maybe I’ll see about expanding my business a little to afford hiring an assistant.
3) It’s okay! I didn’t see it as being disrespectful or anything! It’s always nice to hear from you!
4) Bon-Bon: Why thank you for asking! Here at Sweetie Drops you can indulge yourself in all the sweetest, most delectable candies you can imagine. From the richest or creamiest chocolates, to the most mouth-watering fruit-flavors known to moral tongue! We’ve got everything from peanut brittle to real liquorice! Sugar treats! Cinnamon treats! Mint, gum, taffy, and caramel! Ingredients are hoof-picked and locally grown (when possible)!
Bon-Bon: On a budget? Not a problem! We stock all the major manufactured candy! But take just a few seconds to try a sample test and you might be surprised at how a little difference in price can equal a huge boost in flavor!
Bon-Bon: Where is this magical place you ask? Narnia? Why, just trot right up to town hall and turn to your right! We’re the first door to the left! So why shop anywhere else for your confectionery needs?
Bon-Bon: Sweetie Drops!Sweet to the last drop!
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) Bon-Bon: ‘The other day?’ Those Everfree vines invaded months ago.
