Character Interview 2
SB: Hey everyone, Steelbreaker here for the second Character Interview! W00! Quite a few more questions this time, so without any further ado, let's get rolling!
First question goes to Applejack, so AJ, take it away.
AJ: Ahlraht then, first question comes from user zsd - "Applejack, what will you pay someone to work at your farm?"
Well pardner, Ah ain't gonna lie to ya, farm work is backbreakin' for what we could pay ya. Gotta remember, Sweet Apple Acres is fam'ly owned and op'rated. What Ah could offer ya or any other pony that needs work is a place ta sleep and food ta eat, as well as a few bits evry day fer yer hard work.
SB: Alrighty then, thanks AJ. Next question is from Zuelatak to Fluttershy. Your turn, 'Shy.
FS: Oh, um...okay. "Will you be my special somepony? I'm the yellow skin mare with a red mane that lives near the library."
...Oh my...well, um...I...
*Hides behind Rarity*
SB: It's okay Fluttershy, we're here for you. You can do it.
FS: Well...umm...I-I don't remember meeting you. B-but I always...umm...like making more friends.
SB: You did great, Fluttershy. Next question is from zsd, and goes to Fluttershy as well.
FS: Okay then...um...""" "Fluttershy, do you have a job? I never saw you working in the show or stores..."
Steel? What does he mean by "show"?
SB: *Sigh* Oh boy...I figured I'd have to explain this sooner or later. Do you remember when I told you about those television things that we had back on Earth?
FS: Yes. I remember, Steel.
SB: Well the thing is 'Shy...in my universe, you and your friends aren't real, Equestria isn't real, Terra doesn't exist, and magic doesn't exist either. In my world, all of you are just part of a cartoon television show.
FS: Oh no...so that means...*starts crying*...that means that we're not real?
SB: No Fluttershy, you're real. You're as real as I am and every bit as real as my world is. *extends a hug to Fluttershy* Keep in mind that here in this universe, Earth doesn't exist. That means everything that was "real" to me at one time doesn't exist. I promise though, you are every bit as real as you ever thought you were.
FS: Th-thank you Steel...I feel better now, I'll be okay.
SB: Alright then 'Shy, I'm sorry you had to find out this way. Can you still answer the question?
FS: Umm...okay. Well I run a veterinary clinic out of my home for the pets that any of the ponies in Ponyville have. I also help Zecora from time to time when she needs help with animals.
SB: There we go, nice easy answer. Thanks Fluttershy. Anyhow there wasn't a name, but I'm assuming this next question is from zsd as well, and is directed to Rarity. Your turn Rare, take it away.
Rt: Very well, dear. I'll just skip the first part, "Rarity, how much would you pay someone to get the gems you need and learn the spell to find them?"
Well darling, I would teach the spell for free of course...I certainly do not own it. As far as the work, I believe fifteen bits per pound of jewels would suffice. That is the same amount I wished to pay Spike for his work, but he refused.
SB: I thank you, Rarity. The next question is also from zsd, and also directed to Rarity.
Rt: Thank you Steelbreaker. Alright now, "Rarity, this may be personal, but what are your thoughts on Spike and the war? Knowing Spike he might try to be a knight and save Ponyville."
Well I believe my thoughts on Spike are quite clear by now...I adore him. As far as the war, I possess a strong distaste for violence in any form. However, I will not allow that violence to endanger the ponies of my home and I will stop it, by force if necessary. Spike is a growing dragon and is now fully capable of making his own decisions. I would worry about him should it ever come to him fighting, but I trust that Steelbreaker would watch over him.
SB: Wow, Rarity. I have a newfound respect for you. I didn't think you'd ever even think about fighting.
Rt: It is all about the situation, dear. I would not enlist in the princess' military, but should the fight ever come to Ponyville, I will fight every bit as fiercely as your greatest soldier, as I know Spike would do the same.
SB: Of that I have no doubt, Rarity. Thank you. Alright then the next question is from JB and it's directed to Fluttershy. It's all yours.
FS: Um, okay. "How's Angel been since Moonfang has been staying? It must have been uncomfortable, but he's used to it now, right?"
Um...well Angel was scared of Moonfang for a long time until I showed him that Moonfang wouldn't hurt him. They're actually good friends now, which is surprising since Angel usually doesn't like anypony.
SB: But Moonfang isn't a pony, now is he?
FS: Hmm...you're right Steel. Maybe that's why...
SB: Maybe so, 'Shy. Alright thanks. Next question is from JB as well, directed to Applejack. Take it away, girl.
AJ: Ahlraht now, "Workin' hard or hardly workin? Haha...hey, where's your dog?"
Oh, haha, yer a funny one.
SB: It was a joke AJ. JB's just having some fun.
AJ: Okay, well Winona ain't got much ta do durin' tha winter, because we don't do tha cattle drive 'til summer. She usually sleeps in tha barn and just walks around town.
SB: Alrighty, thanks AJ. Oh finally, a question for Pinkie!
PP: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, yay!
SB: Heh, okay Pinks settle down. Anyhow the question is also from JB. Go ahead.
PP: Okay! "Sweet Celestia above, who's taking care of Gummy?"
Hehe...well I am, silly! *reaches in mane, pulling out the small reptile* See? I never leave home without him!
SB: But how? I mean that doesn't even...you know what? I'm not going to try and figure that one out, it's just going to make my head hurt. Anyway next question is directed to Pinkie as well from "The mace v.s The sheild".
PP: Okie dokie lokie! "Want some pie?"
*GASP* Pie! Ohmygosh! I want some! *high speed rambling*
SB: Dammit...thanks a lot dude. My ears are going to start bleeding. Anyway it looks like you had a question for me too. I wasn't planning on answering any, but I guess I can make an exception for one.
"Steelbreaker, do you think other ancient enemies like Discord or the Protoss will rear their ugly heads?"
Hmm...well Discord is highly likely with the war coming on, because of the chaotic nature of war itself. Protoss though...probably not so much. At least I hope not. I don't know if we could hold down the fort against an entire fleet of Carriers. Luckily the Protoss aren't fond of conquest, they simply wish to hold their lands against invaders and be left in peace. I don't see them being the attackers.
Anyhow, the next question comes from Geefriend and is to Fluttershy. Go ahead 'Shy, your turn again.
FS: Umm...okay then. "Fluttershy, do you have a...how do you call it? Stallionfriend? If you have one, who? If you don't, why not? I think Moonfang wanted to ask you out, but it was never mentioned again..."
Well, umm...no I don't have a coltfriend. I just get a little scared sometimes...
SB: Well what about Moonfang, 'Shy? That night after Rainbow Dash's party, he was going to basically ask you out. Did he?
FS: Oh my...no, he didn't. We talked for awhile but then we just went back home and went to sleep.
SB: Well maybe you should ask him about it, 'Shy. Seeing as how it's out in the open and all. He really likes you a lot.
FS: W-well I don't know...
SB: Is it because he's a wolf?
FS: What? Oh no, no not at all. I don't care that he's different it's just...
SB: You're scared?
FS: Yes...
AJ: What are ya'll scared a, sugarcube?
FS: Well...I...
Rt: I think I understand, darling. You're afraid he's going to hurt you.
FS: Oh no, Rarity. Moonfang is so gentle. He's nothing like a normal timberwolf anymore. It's just...
PP: She's afraid he's going to leave.
FS: *nods*
SB: Fluttershy, I've seen Moonfang's heart. Only death would take him away from you. He's every bit as loyal as Rainbow Dash. Just think about it, okay hun?
FS: Okay...I will.
SB: Alrighty then, so that takes us to the next question, also by Geefriend. All yours, Rare.
Rt: Alright, "Rarity, did you have any other stallionfriends besides Spike?"
Well yes, I have. Two others, actually. My first was back in school. Believe it or not, Big Macintosh and I were together when we were in our seventh years in school. After him, I dated a pegasus from Canterlot for awhile, whose name I honestly cannot recall.
SB: Wow, only two, huh?
Rt: What do you mean only two?
SB: Umm...nothing. I'll just shut up about it now. Anyway, the next question goes to Pinkie Pie and is also from Geefriend. Pinks? You're up.
PP: Okay! "Pinkie Pie, how many parties did you organize? And what do you think about war? How old is Gummy?"
Well I organize almost every party around Ponyville! I've lost count, to be honest, but that's okay! I count them by the smiles, not the party...and I get a lot of smiles.
I don't like the war, I don't want my friends to get hurt...but if those gryphons are going to be big meanies, I might have to fight too.
SB: Uh to be honest Pinkie, I couldn't see you purposefully fighting anyone. Something tells me you wouldn't like it.
PP: I never said I'd like it, Steelie...but if my friends get hurt, their families will be all saddy-waddy. *mane flattens* No...I'm going to make sure that all of us make it back. No pony is going to be left behind...I Pinkie promise.
SB: Wow Pinkie, I never thought...I'm proud of you, Pinkie. You are so much stronger than anyone ever thought. But anyway, Geefriend still needs to know how old Gummy is.
PP: *Mane poofs up* Oh Gummy? Hmmm...well I got him when he was really little, but I don't really know how old he is. I've had him for about six years though.
SB: Thanks Pinkie. I want to talk to you later about something, okay?
PP: Okay, Steelie!
SB: Anyway, next question is from - you guessed it - Geefriend. This one's for Applejack. It's all yours, cowmare.
AJ: Ahlraht now, "Applejack, how old are you? How old do you ponies get in general? Are you ok with Big Mac's marefriend? What happened to Winona?"
Well Ah'm twen'y four. As far as how old ponies get, it depends on tha race. From what Twi told me, it all d'pends on how much magic they got in 'em. We earth ponies got tha shortest life spans, livin' just a few hundred years...
SB: Wait, wait, wait...a few hundred? Wow...that's longer than any human ever lives.
AJ: Really? How long do humans live?
SB: Like maybe sixty-five years, if that.
AJ: What? Wow sugarcube, that's not long at all. Anyway, pegusi live tha second longest, toppin' out at about five-hundred years. Unicorns live tha longest...nopony really knows how long though. Ev'ry unicorn in history so far has gotten in an accident and died or was killed some other way. Only alicorns live forever, but looks like Twi, Lyra, Rarity, and our other unicorn friends'll be around for a long time.
SB: Wow...I'm actually glad someone asked that question. It's enlightening. What about dragons?
AJ: What about 'em, Steel?
SB: How long do they live?
AJ: Twi said it d'pends on tha dragon.
SB: Hmm...I'll have to ask her about that. Anyway, you still got a few questions to answer, AJ.
AJ: Right. Anyway, Ah like Mac's marefriend. After Steel and his fam'ly got here, me n' Kate got real close. Ah like her, and she treats mah big brother good. As far as what happened to Winona, Ah already answered that. We don' really see her that much durin' tha winter. She kinda does her own thing. 'sall right, she knows where home is.
SB: Thanks AJ. Well that's all the questions we have for this interview. Thanks to all our fans for sending in the questions, and thanks to all the girls for coming in and answering questions.
The next interview will be happening on 08/04/2012, so be sure and send in your questions. The next interview will feature Vinyl Scratch, Celestia, Big Macintosh, and Lyra. I'll be busy on the fourth, so Spike will be doing the reading. Anyhow, be sure and send in all your questions to Drew's inbox before August fourth to get them answered.
Peace to all, and goodnight!
Girls: Bye!
