Nothing, nothing! They were hypothetical books... I think. Please don't frown like that Twi.  I don't think any books were harmed. *hugs Twi*

 

Oh, thank goodness. I'm *so* relieved they weren't real books. *Hugs Lyra & @Duality*

How many notable coincidences have occurred in your life, if any?

How is it that all sentient beings experience 'now' at the same time?

Who do you hug the most often, on average?

What are your thoughts on mathematics?

No worries. I started to panic for a second there too, thinking maybe there was a book injured somewhere, but we're all good. We're fine, the books are fine, all's well.

Oh Twi, you of all ponies should remember my favorite book. I've only stopped by your library to borrow it a hundred times.  I may not look like it, but I love a good exciting story. My favorite book is Mare Apparent. It's a fascinating tale of a young mare who's next in line to rule a kingdom but nopony is willing to help her earn her throne. It's thrilling and suspenseful all the way to the end. But surely I don't need to tell you, I'm sure you've read every one of your books a couple times.

Woops, I meant to add my answer on to the end of my last response. Here it is: penguins. I mean look at them, those flippy flipper fin things, that black and white(sometimes a little more than that) color scheme. I don't understand! Penguins are the 8th wonder of the world! D:

Oh that reminds me of a joke.
What's black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white?

Spoiler

A penguin rolling down a hill.

What's black and white and laughing?

Spoiler

The penguin who pushed it over. 

But jokes aside, where were we?

I'm not sure any have, unless I'm overlooking one. If it was small enough to overlook it probably wasn't that notable though. Hmm.

Interesting, I'd say because they're all experiencing "now" at all times, so at any given time every one of them is still experiencing "now".

Real, actual hugs? Like, not over the internet hug? Oddly enough, I don't do a lot of hugging, but I have an aunt that every time she visits hugs are exchanged all around when she arrives and when she leaves. So it's strange, but it's not even a member of my immediate family. 

Love it!  Give me math all day every day. I'll eagerly devour it and ask for more.

How could I forget about "Mare Apparent"!? 

 It's one of the books that helped me complete the unfinished Star Swirl the Beared spell

that caused me to earn my Alicornhoood & helped me to become the "Princess of Friendship".  

Also, @Duality thank you for the dictionary it was a very thoughtful gift.

Don't worry. You have a ton of books, I think you're allowed to forget one or two.

But @Sparklefan1234, you forgot about Lemon Hearts. And how can I choose a favorite friend? I love them all. In fact, I might just go visit them later today or tomorrow, I haven't seen them in a while.

Why not go now? I can take care of this place while you're gone.

Are you sure?

Yeah, go ahead and have a good time.

Hmm, it might be for the best that Lyra's not here to hear that question. I'm sure she'd love to experience being a human, but doing it by being someone else is kinda weird. It'd feel like you're invading their personal life, and I'm sure she wouldn't want me being her for a day. But I'm digressing. If I were her, let's see, first I'd pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming, then wonder how I pinched myself without fingers. Ah! I don't know! If I told people I wasn't Lyra and that we'd switched bodies they'd think I was crazy, and if I told them I was Lyra I'd be lying and impersonating her. D:

I suppose I'd do something by myself, maybe see what it's like to use magic. Oh, and I'd be super excited to actually be best pony!

Wait, she has two names? Or do you mean that ponies call her Chocolate Swirl and humans call her Lyra Tyrrell? She's quite lovely though.

If Lyra were here I'm sure she'd love that name. A human name and it's the same as hers.

"I can take care of this place while you're gone." you say. Look around, all these unanswered questions, you haven't been here once since I left! 

That's not true. I came, I wanted to answer, but then I realized something. It's not really me they're here to see. Sure they might ask me questions too, but I'm sure that's just to be polite. You know they all wanna see you and know more about you. And rightly so, there's so much to know about you, I wanna know it all.

You forgot didn't you?

... A little. 

Well look, I think that first question's for you. Go on ahead and give him the answer he's been waiting far too long for.

Interesting question. I wouldn't really consider anything I own to be too weird. I suppose the random tube of thermal paste sitting in my drawer is a weird thing to own and have just sitting around.

Impressive? Probably my Dominion game, it's quite the impressive collection of expansions I have for it. (there's literally a stack of game boxes two and a half feet high )

I don't know, maybe my dresser that's been in the family for... quite a while.

Definitely, for both monetary and sentimental value, my car. It's my first car and I love it to pieces! It was also, you know, not cheap.

True, but come one, the blame isn't entirely mine. You've been pretty interested in them too. I do apologize though everyone. I've been doing a bit more of that than usual lately, I'll try to cut back and make more time for answering and not neglecting all your wonderful questions.

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.

Good question. I'm not actually sure. Lyra?

Sadly no. I went to Celestia's school for gifted unicorns with Twi and my other friends. Music class there was more meant to teach a fine control of magic, but I loved it and went all the way. I think Octavia went to a school more focused on those musical arts rather than the magic side of it.

Up until recently I owned all but one (I think they were out of stock when I bought the other last ones I didn't own), but another came out so now I own all but two. I have the base game and nine of eleven expansions. Wow, I didn't really realize just how many there were until you asked this. 

That I don't know. It was my grandma's at one point but I don't know for sure before that. It's not super old I don't think.

No, go right ahead.

Alrighty then. Interesting question. I'm not really big on travelling, so probably not as interesting as most people, but maybe this air force museum I went to a while back. It's one thing to read about history, it's something else entirely to see a piece of it, lots of pieces of it. It was wonderful.

I made it about 36 hours once. It's so hard to keep your eyes open after that long.

I'm thinking either a screwdriver or hammer. Those two tools have so many uses and you'll always need one or the other. For a single tool I'm going with hammer, they're one-size-fits-all.

My favorite piece? There are so many that I like, I rarely settle on a single one as my favorite for long. Right now though, it's this one right here. I'd love to have this on a poster on my wall!

Thank You for answering my question's! Oh, Twilight says "Hello", too.

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?

Lily strikes me as the perfectionist, Daisy the goofball, and Roseluck the artist. I couldn't say for certain though. I'll make sure to ask Lyra for you when she returns.

"You know you could've just asked me, right?" 

"Yeah, I know." 

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 believe that catches me up for the moment. Once again I apologize to everyone here for my two and a half week late answers. I hope to answer sooner next time. And now, since Lyra hasn't returned yet, I'll say goodbye for the both of us. Goodbye for now, do come again soon.
