Interview Question Submissions · 2:25am Mar 29th, 2015
In the Author's Note in the most recent chapter of "Sparkle in His Eye," I stated that I would be writing a chapter wherein Ratchet, Clank, and Twilight were in a TV interview as Galactic heroes. In order to flesh the chapter out, I'm opening the doors to allow all of you to submit questions.
Not all questions will be used, but I will try to fit in all the questions that fit the rules of submission. Speaking of...
1. Nothing regarding MLP canon. No one in this story is aware of Equestria or anything related to it, so there's no reason anyone would ask those questions.
2. Ask the characters. These questions will be directed at Ratchet, Clank, and Twilight in an interview, so don't direct questions to me. Also, questions directed to a specific character are more likely to be used.
3. First come, first used. Each question will be introduced based on who asked it, and whoever asks a question first will be credited with asking.
4. Sort your questions in order of priority. I might not be able to fit all the questions into the chapter, and I don't want anyone to feel left out, so I might not be able to use all of your questions. So make sure I know which ones you most want to see in the story.
Other than that, ask away. It's on the news, so whatever gets the ratings.
i have interview question for Twilight does your daddy Ratchet, know how to preen your wings
Tatsurou does my interview question work for you in my first question on this blog not this comment

This question works.

I have questions for Twilight and Ratchet.
Ratchet: How do you feel knowing your daughter is much smarter than you in some ways?
twilight: Do you realize that your level of sheer adorableness could cause villains to simply surrender to your will? if so, why haven't you used this power?
For Twilight: What was the strangest product that you have ever had to salvage?
So Twilight, ever considered domesticating any one of the indigenous species of the planets you have visited as a pet? Or even somewhat modify one to your liking and its benefit?
Oh, there's also a rumour that you are weaponized cuteness or are in the process of weaponizing it. Is this true?
Ratchet, when did you meet Twilight? How has she changed your life? Do these questions apply to Clank as well?
Yes, I'm aware that they were answered in previous chapters already, but the universe doesn't know that.
If you give me a name, choose Dave Id, please.
Priority is numbered.
1. Twilight, have you done any more racing since the last race that you won?
2. Rachette, Do you have any plans on maybe finding out more about your past?
3. Twilight: What was the funnest project you consider getting to work on?
4. Twilight: Just how did you get hired in the first place? Or is that confidential?
5. To All: Do you have anything you wish to say to us before you have to go?
((I really do not know what to have said for my name, but these are my question for the coming chapter.))
"Ratchet, you have undoubtedly performed an outstanding job raising your adopted daughter, Twilight Sparkle, despite being an orphan yourself. Did you have inspiration from role models of your own? Perhaps a hero figure or parental substitute?"
"Clank, how do you carry all of those items and devices? Many of those seen in verified recordings of your adventures seem to be as large, or even larger, than you are."
"Twilight, what is your response to accusations of industrial espionage committed on your part against Blargtech?"
"Ratchet, how do you respond to claims that you are an unsuitable parent for the only known representative of... Wait, I have to take this call, it's my boss... What do you mean drop it? He's the last Lombax? Really? Okay... Umm... Ratchet, how do you feel about being the last of your kind now that the Lombax Race is apparently all but extinct?"
"Twilight, are the orange/chicken hybrids poultry or fruit? Dieticians across the known galaxies want to know!"
"Ratchet, you have been accused of being violent towards the media when asked about certain topics. How does it feel to have raised a monstrous abomination that has designed some of the most dangerous weapons known to civilized life? Um... Why are the two of you glairing at me like that? It's an honest leading question! Put down those omniwrenches right now! Ow! Ow! You'll be hearing from my lawyers!"
2920466
Definitely using all but that last one. Those are priceless!
Clank, have you ever tried to analyze Twilights Magic in depth?
Ratchet, how long did it take before you figured out Twilight didn't just eat grass like regular horses/ponies?
Twilight, Has Ratchet given you the talk (I just wanna ask this to see if he freaks out) ?
2920471
Glad to be of service!
I tried to provide a set of questions representing various types of media personalities.
2920489
Oh...I am going to have fun with that last one.
2920493
Well, it's actually going to be a talk show host...but that still works.
2920495 excellent.
Have a moustache.
2920497
Yeah - I can see why you dropped my last question then, since it makes no sense for it to be asked by the same interviewer who asked my first question.
"Would you like a snack before we start?"
"Miss Sparkle, what inventions do you plan on inventing in the near future? Will they benefit the universe at large? If not, will they be focused on dealing specific issues?"
"Which past invention would you consider to be your biggest achievement yet on a planetary scale?"
"Are you by any chance considering to join the sports industry after your recent victory to perform in front of trillions of viewers universe-wide?"
"Mister Ratchet, how has it been being a father to a child prodigy such as Miss Sparkle?"
"What would you consider to be your greatest achievement when taking care of Miss Sparkle?"
"Do the both of you plan to go advertise your services like Captain Quark?"
"Mister Clank, how has it been for you journeying with these two individuals?"
"What model are you, specifically? I haven't seen it before and the audience would be quite curious to learn as well!"
"What are your plans for the near future?"
"That's all for today here at [REDACTED]! We hope you all had a pleasant time here!"
Twilight: "Are you a REAL wizard, or just a techno-wizard? Is all your 'magic' just machines and psychic powers?"
Clank: "What's your power source? Are you solar powered, nuclear, antimatter, something else?"
All: "What do you have to say about all the plushies that have been made of the three of you?"
Miss Twilight Sparkle, what are your opinions of the booklegs plushies and toys that have appeared using your likeness? Will there any official toys be released soon?
Wind: yes well, i have a two question for Twilight, Twilight did super captain Quark help you beat Drek, we the public haven't seen the captain for a long time, do you know where he is?
Twilight, the governments of the galaxy would like to thank you for not weaponizing paperwork.
"So, Twilight, what's it like to earn more bolts a year than most of our audience?"
"Clank, are you multi-purpose? Say, could you make a smoothie or cook a stew in your chest compartment?"
"Now, this may be a sore topic, seeing as how he has disappeared from the face of the known universe, but what are your opinions of Captain Qwark, galactic hero and role model of many?"
Any of those decent?
2922234
Those will work quite well.
Twilight, have you invented a time machine? And if so did you went ahead or back in time?
Ratchet, did your daughter ever made you do tea time with her, and if so who else she bring along?
Clank, if you made that spy series, are you going to make Twilight your side-kick instead of Ratchet? Think of the ratings!
2923205
The third one is invalid as that doesn't even come into existence until post the second game.
2923239 Dang! Oh well, I guess I could save that one till you get to that part.
twilight: what is your favorite invention you made so far? also are they ever going to learn about the show?
2925698
That second question is invalid.
2925700 it wasn't a question for twilight, i'm just curious if you will ever reveal the show to them
2925706
Doubtful.
2925711 oh well, the look on ratchets face if he learned that he ignored an important source of info on twilight because of him judging the show as unimportant might have been funny though.
2925720
In that case, he'll probably find it in Orvus' library.
2925728 fair enough.
For Twilight: Twilight, With the many advancements in technology and the rate at which it advances. Do you believe there will ever come a time when technology will be unable to develop further as the knowledge required will take longer than a whole lifetime of any existing organism to learn, and utilize?
And if so, will we even be able to reach so far, or will we by then have satisfied the universe and it's hunger for development?
For Clank: Clank, How much information are you able to process?
Question for all three: Who is the smartest out of you three?
2923205 did you went? did you went?! DID YOU WENT?! DID YOU WENT?!
3930437 Yes, yes I did.
3930462 I WILL MURDER YOUR FACE!
3930479 *Amuse grin with arch eyebrow* How can one murder a face? *Takes out teacup and pours ginger ale in it* Wouldn't it make more sense to say, 'I will erase your face'? that way I can consplay as Slender than just have a killed face.
3930500 LOGIC HAS NO MEANING AGAINST SUCH OVERPOWERING PEEVISHNESS
3930535 *takes sips of ginger ale* Oh? *Still holding a amuse expression* No logic eh? With a side of OP peevish? *takes another sip, leans back in chair* Then I suppose if I send anything in terms of links of videos or memes-- then you will be in a more peevish state? *takes another sip* I wonder how big your peeve is? Maybe the size...of Darth Vader capital ship? *ponders on that*
3930553 MY PEEVISHNESS DWARFS THE DEATH STAR!
3930563 *Taps chin* Now I'm tempted to just send in a video link or meme image just for the fun of it. *takes another sip* But I suppose if I do that, then I'll make you more peevish, hmm. *weighs hands of choices while sips levitated teacup* be mature about this? Or be silly for the fun of it? Mature? Fun? Mature? Fun? Hmmm.
3930563
3930573
Both of you take this elsewhere.
3930585 *raise hands up* Alright, alright. I get the message. No need to cause trouble for you.
