I... don't know what to say. You're too kind to me, truly, both of you.

I do. I know exactly what to say. *hugs Sparklefan and Twi, nothing else needing said*

Quite right. *joins the hug*

 

I have sung occasionally. I'm not sure how good I am at it, I just do it when I'm by myself. In front of a crowd, I'm content letting my lyre do the singing.

Your singing is beautiful Lyra, don't be ashamed.

You heard?! 

I listened.

 

I remember hearing  you play your lyre at the "Parent's Day Talent Show" 

during our time at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, Lyra.

You always did/do such a wonderful job & play *so* beautifully.

Nah, I love being a unicorn. Don't get me wrong, earth ponies and pegasi are awesome, but I'm perfectly satisfied with being a unicorn. Do Humans count as animals? If so, then I'd love to see what it's like to be a human, but not permanently, just a day or two.

My Nightmare Night was awesome! I'm a bit old to trick or treat, but I still had fun dressing up and seeing everyone else's outfits. I even got Totally Lyra to tag along. Apparently he doesn't celebrate Halloween, but he came along anyway when I asked. 

Oh, hi Twilight! Aww, I think I missed her. Can you tell her "Hi" for me please?

 

Always be the best you you can be, Lyra & never let *anypony* tell you otherwise. 

Twilight's *always* here & she *never* leaves! 

"Hey! What are you writing there?" 

*From a safe distance * "Nothing!"  "Oh, Lyra says "Hi!""

Hello, Lyra! It's *so* nice to hear from you & I hope you have a wonderful holiday season filled with laughter & good times!

Same here! Happy Holidays Lyra & Totally Lyra!

Something tells me a regular human veterinarian wouldn't really know what to do. I mean, if you compare an Equestrian pony with a pony from Earth I think you'll notice a few differences. I'm not sure our vets our trained in that particular area. However, they are still ponies, and a simple sickness doesn't require surgery or anything else that they would need to know an Equestrian pony's specific anatomy for. I don't think they'd be able to hit the perfect cure, but they could definitely help. That said, an Equestrian doctor would be my first choice for sickness and definitely for an injury.

 

I thought so.

"I *told* you the *same* exact thing!" 

"Yeah. But, Totally Lyra writes in that nice blue text." 

 

"Do you have a favorite holiday?" Twilight Sparkle & I LOVE Hearth's Warming!

Hi Lyra! Of the three flower sisters, tell me who you think of them is the artist, who is the perfectionist, and who is the goofball?

It seems Lyra has returned, so I'll hand this one over to her now.

It's hard to nail them down as those specific personalities. I mean, they're all a bit artistic. You should see some of their flower displays, simply divine I must say. It's true there must be a perfectionist in the bunch for them to always look so nice, but I couldn't really say which it is. They could all three be perfectionists, I wouldn't be surprised. And goofball? Hehe, goofball. According to Totally Lyra, I've probably got enough goofball in me to cover that entire trio even though I'm not even in their little group. 

Oh you.

Oh I love Hearth's Warming too. There's an interesting human holiday Totally Lyra showed me, I think it was called Easter? They have odd traditions of playing some hide and seek game with little pieces of candy. I found a lot.  I'm sure Twilight would want to leave you out, you can go ahead and answer too Totally Lyra. What's your favorite holiday?

I think you know that one. 

I do?  Can you remind me? And besides, I don't think Twi knows yet, even if you've told me.

It's Lyra Day.

Oh.

Hmm, I never really thought about that. Thought it doesn't strike me as a holiday where people celebrate by eating tons of turkey would be a big hit in Equestria.

Oh I'm sure the turkey's only a major part because everypony's used to it. We could definitely use a holiday to remind ponies to give thanks, and eat a food much more suited to us. I got it! Sparklefan, Twilight, Totally Lyra, why don't we have our own little Thanksgiving, even if other ponies don't celebrate it. 

I'd be down for that.

You're willing to do anything when I'm involved though. 

Yes, yes I am.

You don't *need* a turkey to celebrate Thanksgiving, you just celebrate with the people & ponies that you care about. 

Oh splendid! In that case, if it's not too late to celebrate Thanksgiving , allow me to host this event. With Lyra's help I think I should be able to prepare a banquet, and indeed an entire evening, that both ponies and humans alike will be able to enjoy. 

Yes yes! Leave it to us. I'll make sure there's something special here for everypony! 

It will, of course, require a little time. Come over right away if you like, but it won't be ready for a while. I suggest coming over later, when we're not preoccupied with buying, prepping, cooking, baking, slicing, sauteing, and whatever else is required.

I'm not really sure, to be perfectly honest. I guess it's not really my doing, I'm just lucky to have people return frequently. Especially @Sparklefan1234, who has basically become the lifeblood of this thread at this point.

 

Hmm, hero type eh? I'm gonna go with the Lyra type. She's my hero. 

No silly, you can't take that easy way out. Give him a real answer. 

Oh alright, even if it's true.  I suppose my second favorite would be, hmm, perhaps the vigilante type, or any that do what's right even if it's not supported by law or even goes against the law. The heroes who do what they're doing even knowing they won't be thanked for it, won't be recognized or appreciated, but because it's right. Those people, they're the real heroes.

 

Ooh, this is an easy one! Or, actually it's not. It's easy to narrow it down to two: Maleficent and Nightmare Moon. To me, Maleficent is the perfect villain, and I can't help but feel Nightmare Moon was based off of her at least a little bit. But Nightmare Moon, was different enough to make her her own villain, and splendidly done at that. So, I can't really answer this question as to who my single favorite villain is. It's both of them.

You worry me sometimes Totally Lyra. 

 

I'm not really sure what you mean by "Youtubers' dark personas"? So I guess I, uhh, have no opinions on them at the moment?  Yeah, probably not the answer you were hoping for, sorry.

It's, well it's not all that different from being a regular member actually. Sure, there's occasionally something needing my attention, but the other 90% of the time there's no difference between me and everyone that doesn't have the title.

He really likes his title.

If you had the superpower of telekinetically hitting people/ponies with an object (without expending any magical energy whatsoever), what would that object be?

If you could have a single pocket-sized pony in real life, which one would you choose (other than Lyra), if any?

[Totally Nyx 36,016]

Oof. I do apologize for being gone so long.  I underestimated how long it would take to smuggle all these feast components and ingredients through the mirror. I made a mistake early on and they saw me taking some stuff through. Ever since then they stepped up the security a bit and I had to be even more careful about sneaking through.

Anyway, that banquet is just about finished being prepared. Since we've taken so long putting it together, I figured we'd make it not only a Thanksgiving feast, but one for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all together. Lyra's still in the kitchen, putting the finishing touches on some pies. While she's doing that, I decided to come out and give you some much-needed answers. And speaking of answers, let's take a look at what you've asked.

I'll be answering all of these since Lyra isn't back just yet. Let's see then.

But... that seems a bit rude. I suppose a pillow, because yay for pillow fights!

Not Lyra?  I suppose Roseluck. She's such an underrated pony and also my second favorite background pony. Easily in my top 5 of all ponies too.

Hmm, I haven't really had a painful life. Maybe one time when I was a lot younger. Without going into too much detail, I was pretty sure I'd bitten my end of my tongue off. (I was really young and didn't know that's how these things worked, but it sure felt like it)

No matter how I wrap my head around it, there's this 3-dimensional picture that's really 2-dimensional but looks 3, the more you look at it the more your brain hurts though.

Thank you Sparklefan and Twi!

Allow us to present the makings for a night of fun. Ok, so it's not this "grand hall" Totally Lyra said, but it's the next best thing. Over here *points* we have tables heavily laden with the finest holiday dishes for both humans and equines alike to enjoy. We've got everything you could ask for, from turkey and ham to salads, proper vegetables and the best pies. Fruit slices and flowers, fragrant, beautiful, and scrumptious. The most essential cranberries and stuffing, as well as oat cookies and sweet casseroles, and much much more. And for afterwards, we have an area with some games if you would like, as well as comfortable couches and chairs if we want to just relax and talk. There are more odds and ends over there, enough I'm sure that we'll have all we need to have a wonderful night. 

*claps* We've been practicing that welcome speech for a while. Only Lyra was able to get it right.  But that said, why just look. Let's enjoy and have a spectacular celebration.

Oh wow, that's crazy! How can you go that long without your brain going "nope, I sleep now, bye"? o_O

The final Guinness Book of Records record holder remained awake for over 11 24-hour days, before they scrapped the record for fear people might hurt themselves trying to break it.

Not Lyra?  

Well, we all know the first minipony you'd pick for your pocket would be Lyra.

I suppose Roseluck. She's such an underrated pony and also my second favorite background pony. Easily in my top 5 of all ponies too.

Good choice.

Well, uhh... this is just between the four of us, but... *looks around* *whispers* I'm not actually Lyra.  I just wish someday I can be as awesome as her. But who am I kidding, that's like a person striving to become a god, she's that far above me. Uhh, please don't tell her I said that. She knows I think highly of her, very highly in fact, but I don't think she knows just how highly.

 

Well, yeah.

The one with the green text is Lyra.

Hello there BFFF!

Yes indeed I do. My favorite is the pony parody of Auld Lang Syne. Days Gone By, Applejack's song on the Pony Kind Of Christmas album.

Thank you Sparklefan and Twi! 

 You're back Lyra?

Yes indeed.

Then that means... Sparklefan and Twilight, I do believe our banquet is ready.

I'm *so* sorry I was unable to attend your holiday banquet Lyra & Totally Lyra.

If it's any consolation, Applejack said you have great taste in food & Rarity told me that your decorations were absolutely marvelous.

@Totally Lyra Just want to chime in and say that your answers are totally awesome. Thank you for answering all our questions and for being a great friend of Lyra. 

[Sparklefan1234 170,014]

Hello, Lyra!

If that's your *real* name! 

 

*Annoyed* "Knock it off, Pinkie Pie!"

 

How are you? I was wonder-

 

*Interrupts* "ARE YOU AN AGENT OF S.M.I.L.E. !? CONNNFESSSS!"

 

*Sighs* "That does it." "Go sit in the corner!" *Points*

 

*Shocked* "But it's boring over there!?" "The only thing there is a cobweb shaped like...Well, a cobweb." *Trots & sits in the corner dejectedly*

 

Sorry about that, I hope you're both well & I'll see you again soon.

 

PS: I may bring either Twilight Sparkle or Applejack along to ask a question next time.

 

Your Friend, Sparklefan

Oof, seems I've managed to disappear on you for a while again. My sincerest apologies! *bows*

I'm sorry too, we've been neglecting this place pretty badly. I hope we can make it up to you. For now, all we can do is make you wait no longer. It's time your questions see some answers.

Yikes! That takes some serious dedication. How can someone manage that and not go mad? Or maybe he did?

There are a lot of quotes I like, some I use more than others, but no single favorite. I do like this one though in its various different forms, "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof". Basically, today has enough problems of its own, worry about them today and worry about tomorrow's problems tomorrow.

What's the time?  *looks at watch* Well, as I'm typing these words it's exactly noon in my time zone. Hmm, well that's interesting timing. 

Not often anymore. I used to go on as little sleep as possible when I was at college, but now that I have a job that requires driving in the morning I like to make sure I'm well rested. I try and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night, no less than 6 and a half when I can't get 7.

Hmm, I suppose that can of change I have on my dresser is pretty dense. It's way heavier than it should be for something that size.

Nonsense, you didn't miss a thing. Lyra and I rigged up a spell a long time ago, shortly after starting this thread, to de-sync the flow of time in here from that of time outside. See, because of how long it takes us to respond sometimes, events seemed disjointed and we were missing a lot. So we've managed to separate the events that transpire here into their own time stream for the convenience of never having to miss a thing. I suppose we'll never be able to reconnect the time streams together again, but that's ok. One day this thread will die, and the rest of time will not have been damaged from it.

Uhh, Totally Lyra?

Yeah?

I'm not sure anyone will follow what you just said. I was there for it and my eyes are still glazing over a bit.

Oh... sorry.

What he means to say is that you didn't miss it. The banquet is still here, just as fresh as the day we made it, ready to be had when we're ready to have it. And there's nothing to forgive, because you've done nothing needing apologized for. 

Yes, exactly that.

Oh my.  I... I don't know how to respond to that. You're too kind ChB, really. And you don't need to thank me, it's my pleasure to be of service and to answer any and all questions.

Oh Pinkie, you know my answer is "no". Whether I'm some secret agent or not, which I'm not saying I am, my answer has to be "no". 

Yes indeed, we're doing well. Well, I am anyway. How about you Totally Lyra?

I'm doing very well too.  I do apologize for disappearing for so long. I should've at least popped in here and said something.  Please forgive us.

Oh I'm sure it must just be a coincidence. He probably saw me and thought of her. 

 

 

Again, I apologize to everyone for the delay. I will make sure to respond faster next time, much faster.

Me too. Next time will come much sooner.

Until then. *tips hat and gives a slight bow*
