Character Interview 1

Steel: Hey everyone, Steelbreaker here with the first character interview! You sent your questions, and we're going to answer them! For this first one since it was such short notice, we've only got one reviewer who sent questions, but there are a few. As promised, my friends and I will answer them. After today any new questions will go towards the next interview, which will be held July 21st, 2012 and will feature Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy.

That being said, let us continue with the few questions we have from Guest zsd.

First question I assume was directed at me.

Question reads(with corrected spelling/grammar): "How many marefriends can you have?"

Well bud, there isn't any real limit, although as you can imagine the more a stallion takes, the more complicated and hectic things can get. Have to factor in things such as the amount of attention and time to devote to each mare. The more marefriends, the more that time and attention has to be stretched. As stated in a previous response to a review, the most in history was twenty.

Second question is to Rainbow Dash, so Dash, you're up.

Dash: Okay let's see here: "What is the average cost to buy something like your home, Rainbow Dash?"

Hmm...well that's a tough one. We pegusi don't usually buy houses that are pre-owned. I mean it's not unheard of, but still. Gotta understand, most of us build our own houses. I personally didn't pay anything for mine, but it took a lot of time and work to make it really cool. The only thing I actually have to pay on my house is property taxes, which isn't very much at all for a house in the sky over Ponyville. I guess if I were going to sell it, I might let it go for about 2,000 bits. That's pretty normal for one of the houses in Ponyville.

Steel: Alright then, thanks Dashie. Next up is a question for Twilight Sparkle, so here ya go, Twi.

Twilight: Alright now: "What are the average bits you get paid that will be considered good, Twi?"

Well, that all depends on how you live I guess. There are a lot less expenses in Ponyville than say, someplace on Earth, at least that's what Steel tells me. I just pay a business property taxes on the library which is only about 7 bits per month. Then you have to take food into account, which varies quite a bit. Applejack for example sells a dozen apples for 2 bits, but some of the really tasty mushrooms at the market can go for around 8 bits a pound. I guess if you were to look at an average pony with a house payment, food, and taxes, 50 bits per month would allow a pony to live on their own just fine, and coincidentally is a pretty regular wage around here.

Steel: Thanks Twi for that explanation, it was...enlightening. Next question is yours as well, take it away.

Twilight: Okay: "How does a wedding go when you're marrying three mares?"

Well usually we try to split up the weddings so that each bride has her own special day. Gets a little expensive sometimes, but it's worth it. That's not to say that a stallion marrying multiple mares at one wedding hasn't happened. I guess a marriage between a stallion and three mares goes just like any other wedding, except usually with three times the flower girls, three times the bridesmares, and three times the crying.

Steel: Interesting. Maybe sometime in the future that information will come in handy.

Luna: R-really?

Steel: I'm starting to think so. Anyhow Luna, the next question is yours.

Luna: Very well, hmm: "Luna, could you make a new part of the day and give it to Steel? Like a solar eclipse, because we haven't seen that in one of your days."

Well, Steel has expressed his wish to remain just a regular pony in the public eye. I had thought of an idea similar to that actually, but he turned it down, saying that as long as he had us he didn't need anything special...Darkflight then stated how "corny" that was. As far as a solar eclipse, we hold that on Tia's day of birth, actually...whereas a lunar eclipse will be held on my day of birth. My day of birth was different a thousand years ago, as Equestria possessed a different calendar. Today, the date for my birth date is December 13th. Tia's is January 19th.

Steel: Well that's awesome...now I don't have to feel awkward asking when your birthday is, Lulu.

Luna: Do not call me that in public Steel...it's embarrassing!

Steel: Aww Lulu, but you're so cute when you blush! See? Right now I could just eat you up, you're so cute.

Luna: W-well fine...I will let it go this once, but you owe me Steel.

Steel: I'm sure I'll think of something to make it up to you. Anyhow I guess I've got the next question.

"Steel, what are you going to get your marefriends for their birthdays?"

Well now, I can't rightly answer that with my girls here, so girls? Please leave the room.

...

Okay Spike, are they gone? Okay let me soundproof the room.

...

There we go.

Okay now, Drew already put in a chapter what I'm getting Dashie. It's going to be a dark blue flight suit with rainbows running down the legs instead of normal stripes, and a rainbow going down the back as well. There's also going to be her cuite mark embroidered on the chest, so that ponies can admire her without looking like they're checking out her flanks, even though I know they will anyway. Lastly, there's going to be "Rainbow Dash" written in awesome lettering on either side of the back rainbow. I also got her a VIP season pass to the Wonderbolts' shows for next season, thanks to some help from Celestia.

For Twilight, I'm getting her the complete works of Starswirl the Bearded. These books were a pain in the ass to find...supposedly there's only like six sets in the entire world. Luckily with some help from Celly, I've got them and she's going to love them. They include things in them from spells, to magical "workouts", to Starswirl's own philosophies. I showed them to Spike and he told me to wear some armor to keep her from squeezing the life out of me with a hug. I also made her a vacuum chest to store them in. When anything is placed in the chest, all of the air is sucked out with an enchantment of my own design. This will make it so that any books she really loves will literally last forever if she takes good care of them. Weird for someone like me, but for a bookworm like her, it's perfect.

For Luna, I had to really think about it hard. She might act young, but she has centuries of life behind her, so I had to make sure I got her something really special. I couldn't think of any one thing, so I got her a couple things. First of all, I got her and I matching necklaces with our cutie marks on them - hers on mine, and mine on hers. I also enchanted them so that whenever we're close to each other, they glow with our respective magical auras. A little cheesy for my tastes usually to be honest, but I know she'll love them. Secondly, I made her a scrying gem. It took a long time to make it, but with it she'll always be able to see where I am. Not only does she miss me when she has to go away over the weekends, but she worries about me too, with me being impulsive and all sometimes. So not only will the gift offer comfort to her, but practical use as well, should anything happen to me.

For Pinkie, I got her a case of the hottest hot sauce I've ever tasted, called Joe's Madd Dog hot sauce. I got a favor from Celestia and she helped me go back to Earth to pick it up. It's made from the ghost chili pepper, and this stuff is so hot that if you're using it in cooking, you can't even walk in the same room as the stuff without coughing while your eyes water and your nose runs. I swear this must be the stuff they make tear gas out of. You can't even take a toothpick-sized taste without your mouth feeling like you just gargled with lit napalm. I also brought back a recipe book with over three-thousand pages of every sweet thing you could think of. Not that I think she needs new ideas, but I know she'll love it.

Lastly for Lyra, I bought and made her an enchanted lyre. The instrument changes form and sound depending on what emotion she's trying to convey when she plays it, and the strings will never rust or warp. I also got her an enchanted album that can take her memories and turn them into pictures. She'll hate me for saying this, but she's a bit of a picture whore...you should see her room.

Okay Spike, bring the girls back in.

...

Okay and we're all back. Thanks for being patient, Dash. I know how hard it was for you.

Dash: *sticks out tongue*

Steel: Alrighty then, next one's yours Luna. Oh...you're gonna blush on this one, I just know it.

Luna: I am not sure what you mean Steel: "Luna what will it be like to raise Steel's kids if the relationship goes further for all of you?"

I am unfamiliar with the term "kids".

Steel: It means children, Luna...as in foals...as in our children.

Luna: Oh my...I will be honest, I was not expecting that. Well I first want to stress that we are not thinking of such things at the moment. I would be telling a lie if I say it did not cross my mind from time to time, but I know I am not ready for that just yet, and I am sure Steel will agree. Tia has noticed my change in demeanor over the past year or so since making friends with Twilight and her friends, and often when seeing me with the children of the town she will remark on what a great mother I will make one day. I feel confident that if and when the day comes, I will be ready. I do wish for foals of my own one day, just not now.

Steel: Okay then, that's all for this first interview. Thanks a lot for your answers girls, the readers appreciate it I'm sure. Guest zsd, thanks for your questions, we enjoyed answering them. Anyhow the next interview will be held July 21st, 2012 and will feature Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy. Any questions you have I ask to please be sent to my PM inbox. Anyhow peace to all the readers and goodnight.
