Ask Thorax

[Brainstorm 4,106]

Thorax,

When you were visiting Ponyville when you met Ember and Spike, who did you leave in charge of the hive?

Pharynx, of course!

Considering that that was back when there was still a group of renegade Changelings that still feed off of love, you can imagine how relieved the frightened Transformed Changelings were to see me return much more assertive thanks to Ember. I got all except Pharynx to transform in about a week.

But eventually, Pharynx did transform.

Thorax,

Where did you stay while living in the Crystal Empire?

[Loyal Defender 4,111]

Unsure if someone asked this, and I'm aware of what I'm asking, considering I have a strong spine.....what's the tightest amount you can hug someone? I'm legitimately curious now..considering your good 'softie' type, I do wonder how strong your love can become.

Believe it or not, I chose to stay at Sunburst.

You see, considering the Hive never really had much of a library, I wanted to learn as much as I could, and Sunburst felt like he could take on an assistant of sorts. So, yeah. I did became to Sunburst what Spike is to Twilight. I got to read many books and Sunburst got the help he needed due to the stress of being a Crystalier to a Baby Alicorn.

(OOC Will: Here a suggestion that would bring a lot of questions: ask specifically how Thorax's relationship with each member of the Empire's Royal Family as well as Sunburst during the later half of Season 6. We literally never saw Thorax between those two important episodes ("Times They Are a Changeling" and "To Where and Back Again") There's a potential goldmine of questions during Thorax's stay in the Empire. Heck, what about before he arrived at the Empire? So yeah, Give me some good ones.)

You know I could turn into a bear and give a literal bear hug. But don't worry, if I hug too tightly, I'll loosen it.

That's cool.

Did Spike give you some pointers on being an assistant?

Yes. Especially, *Transforms into Spike to quote him* Be Careful not to burn or rip the books. Tartarus hath no fury like a reader with their books ruined. *Transforms Back* I've seen Sunburst when he's angry.

I bet you must've transformed into Spike sometimes when assisting Sunburst.

Sometimes, I do Spike.

Although at first, even though I was accepted by the Royal Family, there were still some Crystal Ponies that would feel uneasy to my natural form, so I had an excuse to still be "Crystal Hoof"

No, I mean in your real form. I've seen you hug Spike, but how strong are you without a shapeshift? (that and a literal bear hug seems....unsettling.)

I've always been relatively weak naturally compared to the other Changelings. After all, Pharynx did try to toughen me up.

So far, this hug I shared with Spike and Ember has been among my strongest natural hug.

Ah, alright, good to note!

(Eventually you'll get tougher. That has its own advantages.)

Thorax,

Did Spike see the rest of the Hive?

Edited March 1, 2018 by Brainstorm

[Loyal Defender 4,111]

If you found a an abandoned pony outside the hive (a filly, for instance), with no other ponies around, what would you do?

[Brainstorm 4,106]

Thorax and Pharynx,

Has Princess Celestia and Luna know about the Hive changes?

In Starlight's defense, Starlight didn't really want to kick Pharynx out of the hive, she was venting her frustration with Trixie, and they didn't know Pharynx was listening.

[Castle Bleck 19,332]

Dear Thorax,

 

Do you still have leftover pieces of Chrysalis's magic-soaking throne?

 

If so, can I buy some? (I want to build a Kryptonite-like toilet or something.)

He sure did. Said it could use some more rocks to complement the greenery.

Take her in, of course. Give her shelter and what edible plants she can eat.

Not sure and even if we did, we mustn't let it fall into unworthy hands, as Will would advise.

How is your day going?

But you WOULD know which plants are actually safe for her, right? Wouldn't want her touching a Southern Swelling Rose.

Thorax,

How's Pharynx and the Hive doing?
