Ponyville Perspectives
We welcome the human to our fair town as we would welcome any other visitor. The Princesses have granted him citizenship of Equestria and no less than Princess Celestia’s own personal student, Twilight Sparkle, has vouched for his decency and equinity. Whilst I do not know him personally, I am sure he is an honourable being, who will bring much of worth to our community.
- Mayor Mare
Ain’t right, letting things like that stay here. Ponyville’s for Ponies, that’s why it has the name. Bad enough that dragon hangs around the place, at least he’s small. I seen chimps in a zoo, all friendly one minute, then tearin’ one another apart the next. They eat their own kind, throw their shit and scream over nothin’. This here ape should just go back in his cage.
- Tricky Narrows
Don’t rightly understand him but I ain’t about to argue with Twilight. If she thinks he’s safe, he’s safe, and that’s the end of it. Besides, he did a dang good job fixing my roof.
- Applejack
Never saw anything stranger in my life. What did you say he was called? A ‘human’? He walks around in that shirt all the time, it must be dreadfully smelly by now. How can he stand it? Oh he could live in the palace for all I care as long as he doesn’t eat my filly or something equally trite and cliché. Perhaps I shall have a closer look some time.
- Filthy Rich
The fact that he’s walking around without a mare is the worst part. He should be kept somewhere safe so nopony can take advantage of him or do anything to exploit his naivete. It’s just not fair to him otherwise.
- Lavender Breeze
What do I think of his hands? I’ve honestly never thought about it.
- Lyra Heartstrings
He seems friendly, but I’d be nervous letting him around the school unsupervised. The foals seem to be fascinated with him, though, and they’re always talking about where they saw him on a particular day. Oh, no, I’m not worried he’ll do anything to them, I’m more worried what they’ll do to him. Especially those three.
- Cheerilee
Fascinating shape, darling. I’ve always wanted to try new things with other species but I’ve never really had the chance up to now. Spike, Twilight’s little assistant, is the only non-pony I’ve had the opportunity to experiment with and he’s far too young to really try anything adventurous. It all seems so dreadfully exciting doesn’t it? The opportunity to undertake something truly unique. I can’t wait to get him into my Boutique so I can have him all to myself. Do you suppose he’ll look good in black?
- Rarity
ok rarity. that was awesome story
oh and first biotches
Rarity's sentences can be hilariously taken out of context.
Lyra has never though about his hands and yet she calls him Fingers
If specist ponies use "monkey" as an insult against a human, would calling a pony "horse" be an equivalent?
Ahahaha xD I love Cheerilee one. Sure she could be worried what CMC can do to human.
So who asked Lyra about the hand thing when this one wasn't that obssessed with it?
Why Cheerilee, what three students could you possibly be referring to? dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Sweetie_Belle_lolface.png dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Scootaloo_lolface.png dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Applebloom_lolface.png
LIES! We all know you desire hands Lyra and are fine with it, no need to hide who you are.
the rarity part is hilariously filled with what could be taken out of context as innuendo until the very last part... bravo
Oh Lyra, you'll learn.
Ponyville seems to be a mixed bag for him. Was this when he was just given his citizenship? Be neat to find out what they think of him after a five year period.
Oh PLEASE, Lyra, don't fib in a book! You called him Fingers, and need I mention a certain fic called Lyra's Quest, where you're actively looking for a way to get hands? I think not!

Maybe the interview prompted her to think about it?
1515276>>1515117
That was in fact, exactly the intent with her statement; it was even tweaked a bit when I obliviously read through it without catching that the first time.
1515772>>1515117
I like to think that this interview was the impetus for the nickname, also it's just a great little nod to her standard portrayal in fanon.
Damn lyra your such a damn lier
Damn right lavender breeze I agree! And RD is just the mare xD
No one could not love Rarity's accidental (presumably?) innuendo.
Huh, I totally missed the innuendo in Rarity's bit. Not sure what that means...
He'll look even better out of black Rares

most likely.
Just discovered xenophilia and the leroverse,
My only liked HiE so far was Anthropology, but I think this has it beat on the world building front.
This story is really reminding me of World War Z so far, that's a very good thing.
The cheeky humor in the chapters so far has been delightful. I'm really enjoying it.
What is this? Is this correct of do my eyes deceive me? Is this story breaking some stupid fanon, just to be shape it back up the right way?
Do want.
laughed through the entire chapter XD
Oh, Rarity you naughty little pony.
2587014 No no but this is HERESY! We cannot let let this idea of handless Lyra pollute our minds. Please think of the fillies!
Well, Filthy Rich sure is a worldly fellow
Heh. And we're back to the unique perspectives of Equestrian gender roles
Though from what I understand, he barely spent any time walking around without Rainbow Dash
I can already say this is going to be the best quote I'll pull from this entire book
Cutie Mark Crusader Human... umm... hunters? Guides? Researchers? Whatever! LERO SPOTTED! AFTER HIM!

This is literally taken from the main story, btw, where Lyra was apparently harassed by some journalist about that.
She referred the journalist to Rarity for more information. Bon-Bon thought that was a rather mean thing to do
Priceless!
Just to buck the trend, I'm now imagining Lero meeting Rarity for the first time and them talking about clothes. Somehow the subject of color comes up and Rarity's response is: "You can have any color you want, Darling...so long as it's black."
This happens very rarely, but I am at a loss for words here. I just... I can't even fathom what sort of thought process allows one to arrive at that sort of a conclusion. If I were presented with a sapient equine, or a sapient... I don't know, armadillo? It doesn't matter that it looks like an animal, if it can clearly talk and think.
If you can't look past the fact that it resembles an animal you know, despite it obviously feeling the same feelings you do... then I don't know what right you have not to be locked up in a cage yourself.
Also... unless you happen to know Rarity, it really sounds like something that shouldn't get printed in a respectable book... ;]

The reaction doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Ponies have always been low-key racist. And it's not like there aren't plenty of people in the real world who have very similar opinions of other humans, just because their skin is a different color.
