This story is a sequel to A Different Perspective
Long Path receives an invite from the head of the journalism department to a series of talks for the students, however when word gets out that he is going to have a no limits Q and A.

-----
Years... Decades... Centuries have passed and now the house has returned to the same conference room to answer questions as well as give all in attendence an idea as to what they plan to do next.
Chapters (10)
I think I might just submit a question!
But in the morning, I think. Need to come up with a suitable question.
Will you seek for a way to regain your magic and cutie mark?
6483760 That's a good one, but you also need to describe your OC so that they can ask it, or else a random background character will be assigned.
6483851 Aww, I don't have an OC though...
6483871 Either say "author's choice" or say something like "random unicorn stallion".
No worries, I'll have a generic oc ask your question, nobody gets left out!
Also, remember that you can ask Long Path anything, he might know the answer. Since by this point hes been to quite a few places and read a few books. The right questions can also trigger events and special things to happen in the story! You never know who/what will drop by.
6483878 I'll go with random unicorn stallion then
So, should we put the post/question here, or would it be more appropriate to send it to you via a PM?
I would realy like to ask a few questions to Free Agent.
Dear Free Agent
My name is Traveling Soul ( as an unicorn, like my profile pic whitout the wing) and I want to ask a few question:
We know your favorite form is griffon but I'm curious what is your second favorite form and why?
What is your personal opinion of the other known changeling queens in Equestria?
6484802
I prefer PM
6485602
Very well, I shall PM you a question/scene.
Be warned, I am a writer!
6485637
No worries
I 'ave a question!!
*ahem*
My name is Bunsin Burner. My question could be taken many different directions, but what would you do if you ever go on vacation? For that matter, are planning to ever take a vacation from the House of Path?
This one says she's a unicorn, then a pegasus. (Also you don't need to capitalize pegasus.)
6490731 I guess I'm secretly an Alicorn? Nice.
A lime ish green shell, wing and eyed changeling raised hes hoof for the collar, twitch was his name "um lord path I believe? What is the most interesting asbect about us changelings? And may I inquire as to wich species you prefer? Mine is griffon, they are awesome!"
"How are talks proceeding with the Deer-folk? What sort of interesting things have you found out about them? Have you been able to make much in the way of connections with them?"
Credit me as Midnight Star, a dark blue Thestral mare with a blue-and-gold mane.
The next stallion to take the collar is a slate gray unicorn with a charcoal black mane. His cutie mark appears to be a warm burning ember with an orange hue that matches his eyes. However, the most interesting detail is that the stallion has one forehoof clasped around the talons of a very beautiful and very pregnant griffon hen.
"Hello, Lord Path," his voice is coarse and every bit as warm as his cutie mark, "my name is Ash Rain. First, let's take a break from the hard questions, so how are you enjoying fatherhood?"
(Path's answer. Ash says he's looking forward to it as well.)
"For my last question, and forgive me if this too forward, but is your house interested in adding geology to its curriculum? If so, how do I submit my application?"
A green unicorn stallion with a straw-colored mane named Flink asks, "You said that being without majic has made you stronger in certain ways. How so?"
*WolfGrin* I got my question answered!
6506677
-Everyone- will get their question answered. The only one that can veto a question response is goldfur.
And you can ask more than one.
6506697
I know. *WolfGrin*
I think "as" is supposed to be "ask", but it's still awkward (pronoun antecedent confusion).
Awkward, broken parallel construction, should be "than to me".
Capitalization.
*hoof pump* i got my question answered yes!
also very interesting answer..twitch is satisfied
Enjoying these so far! If I have any questions I'll make sure to send 'em over
Do I send my question in as a PM, or a comment?
Or Either?
No answer? Oh well...
Im gathering up the answers and writing them actually.
My effort is split between this and another thing that will soon be approved (once I get the goldfur stamp of approval)
"The Gap Years"
Shorts about the four kids and what they do between A Different Perspective and Quantum Gallop
Oh, I gotta remember to send in my question at some point. Ah, must ask question! Remember stuff, stupid brain!
The Next chapter is done, I just need to give it to Gold for editing!
Oh Free, that was a good way to make Path nervous
Can't wait to see what the prank will be though.
6576314
*Chuckling* by the way Free said that, there is no prank. but NOW Path will think there is one!!!!!
Wow, a fluffy dragon.
I got my answer! Well, too bad Path don't use a weapon, I was going to challenge him for a battle if he did...
So Free's biggest prank is happening right now, huh? Can't wait to see what is it
6576388
She's an arctic dragon(fur for warmth)...
... And a mutant(she's red and not soft, icy blue).
And now she has a home where they'll accept her.
May I inquire a question to their lordships?
A dark grey female batpony with large sharp fangs, deep purple leather wings, and bright amber eyes takes ahold of the collar IN her wing claws. She fidget with it for a moment nervously.
"What of...merponies? Some say they exist, and others deny it forthright, but I'd like to hear your opinions, lords, do you intend to attempt communications? Also, if i may be so bold, to Free Agent....have, have you ever been with a batpony in an intimate way? And would such an offer entice thee?
She coughs and blushes quite warmly into her wing.
wow you answered my questions. thanks.
I honestly thought I had missed the deadline for submissions.
A Blue dragon with green eyes and a silver underbelly asks: How is Lucidia doing? Is she physically okay, what about her mental state and any allergies, also is she old enough to go out? *said dragon blushes*
A young grey Alicorn with a azure colored mane and his friend, a Pegacorn (Unicorn Pegasus Hybrid) with a white coat and light grey/grey mane, asking about studying inter-species and their natural magic, and incorporating it in different ways, compatibility spells being a primary focus. Also studying use of non-inherited magic for example a Changeling with Unicorn magic etc.
Im just waitin for a few more questions. :D
6607744 Considering he appears to still be healing from his injuries, Lucinda would still be a hatchling yet.
Sorry I havent been updating this as much as I was in the past.
I am working on a story arc for the main storyline. "Blues Spring Break"

But, doesn't that make it a prank?
A lazy one though
A light blue pegasus with a black mane quietly takes the collar, "Quiet Rain" written on his nametag. "Roughly how many po- er, well, people, are there in the House as of now? And can you still use your Talent even after being drained of magic?"
6737854 But the best pranks are simply the mental ones.
And the terror that Path is now feeling is like a picante spice to Changelings--a little bit can go a long way to improve the overall flavor of the meal

My point still stands, it's a lazy one.
On another note: Welcome to that corner of FimFic that is The fuzzy adventurous stories of Goldfur and co.

Thanks. He's been pumping out some seriously good shit with his Cogverse stories. One of the best authors I've seen here--his writing's smooth and has a very organic and realistic feel to it, and he's got good strengths in scenery description, exposition, action scenes and dialogue. Not that I'm wishing to demean any of his work here, but if he ever puts this kind of effort into an original idea, I'm sure he'll make a top selling author. He's really taken the MLP characters and breathed real life into them with these stories.
