"Dude, stop playing Moonbase Alpha, please?"

"Awww, only 'cause you asked."

*Click click, click click*

"JOHN MADDEN!"


That's Right, It's That Time For...


Question Time!

"Okay, everyone gathered 'round?"

"Here."

"Yep."

"Aha."

"REALLY?!"

"Who cares. Do we have to do this right now? There's much better stuff to be done..."

"Can I go back to my game of Twister yet?"

"Good, then we can get start-"

Whoa whoa whoa there lard-ass, what's the dealio here?"

"What do you mean?"

"I think what's Procrastination is so quaintly trying to say here is that to all of the guys reading this... we're dead."

"...And?"

"...We're dead? Isn't that enough? We're not in existence anymore, or at least not in our current form, or else everything would be destroyed..."

"WHO CARES?! Isn't it obvious Physics?! It's non-canon! Therefore none of this has any correlation to what's actually happening at the moment!!!!!!! I mean really, Author here would never let me get away with that many exclamation marks normally!"

"She's right you know, so just shut up, it's not canon. See?" And with that the Author picked Pinkie out of nowhere and placed her on his lap. Physics abruptly had a heart attack, but as was mentioned earlier it wasn't canon, so nothing bad happened.

"Can we just stop wasting time here? I want to get back to my novel. It's really starting to pick up now."

"Indeed, but I know what happens in the end. I always know in the end."

"Yeah yeah, we get it fate, now just tell us so that I can spoil it for mister no-swears here, I'm getting pissed off at him. What the hell does he even read anyway?!"

"...You know, I never asked him that Annoyance, thanks."

"Piss off."

"Order, what are you reading? I really want to know."

"...That is unimportant."

"But-"

"UNIMPORTANT! FIRST QUESTION!"




QUESTION 1 & 2 (Because I'm awesome):

"So, this one's for Fate, Surprise and Procrastination. You guys ready? Okay, good."

Where's 006spykiller's sandwich?
...And why the hell does Light break everything if he's made out of... well... you know...


"Procrastination?"

"Dude, you'll get your sandwich when you fucking earn it bitch!"

"PROCRASTINATION! YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!

"What he actually meant that 006' can get his sandwich whenever he wants, he's a very nice pony. Aren't you 006?"

"He will get his sandwich in time, like all things, this will happen eventually. Of that there can be no doubt."

"Okay, the second part?"

"...What'ya mean? There isn't much to understand. He's Light, but he's a person. It's as simple as that. Besides. I'm too lazy to make up an actual explanation right now."

"He is not immortal, and his form is physical. He must deal with that. Now please excuse me while I attach these sunglasses to my viewing ports, I've heard that it reinforces image.

"Meh, it's funny, that's all I care."

"Very well put Surprise, very well indeed...




QUESTION 3

When the F*ck is Corruption gonna betray the Director! MEMJNIRWUNBVRJWNV!


"Actually, I think I'm gonna answer this one by myself.

"I don't want to get into details too much here, but the future plot is gonna get more than a bit convoluted, and if you look back at the VEEEERY first chapter you might notice something different, namely the fact that the whole story might go on a bit longer than expected, and will be expanding. A lot.

"So whatever you're expecting, you might not want to get to reassured in it, things will change without warning, and some ideas that you feel will become reality in the end won't, so don't get comfortable with assumptions. Seriously."




QUESTION 4

NO!


"This is all I have to say on the subject."




QUESTION 5!

What is the average airspeed of an unladen swallow? EITHER AFRICAN OR EUROPEAN!


"Physics, I think that you can deal with this one, you seem to be the one most familiar with this area of expertise."


"Okay, let's DOOOOO EEEET!

"When you look at it this way, it's not that complicated. It seems that the average wingspan is about 27-35 cm, and there are a few other things too, so there's your answer.

"...Is that what you were looking for?"

"..."

"..."

"...Dude, that's pretty rad..."

"...That's just not meant to be right..."


"...Yeah, I'm just going to go in... this direction... Away from you..."

"What? One has to know these things when you're a king, you know?"




QUESTION 6! (Thankyou The Special Pegasus, you actually did a clever question!)

'Will there be some development or reminiscing of 'Light x Water' at some point? I find myself rather curious.'


"Now, I'll be taking over this one again.

"This is an interesting question. I don't want to go out-right and give some stuff away to begin with, but there will be romance, not necessarily in that way, but it will be there somewhere, and Water/Her Ideas will be represented, so to answer your question literally, there will be a reminiscing of Light x Water, so rest assured that it will be out there somewhere.

"However, this once again falls into the category of 'This story is getting massive, so don't expect too much.'

"I hope that answers your question."

"...Faggot. Can I just go play Twister again now?"




Question 7!

The question that was too long, so I'll just say that EverfreeSparkle asked it!


"Order and Physics, I'm handing this to you here."

"Well, this is a difficult one. While Light may be created from his namesake, and is a Pure Element, that does not mean that he is not a Being in any way. He is still alive, and can therefore feel pain, and loss the same way that any of us can. He still has nerve endings, but maybe in a different way to mortals such as yourself. Think of him like you would a jellyfish.'

"HA! Light's a jellyfish!"

"...Yes, quite. Anyway, like a jellyfish you may wonder how they work, and while not every person may know, it still exists, and it can still die, do you see where I'm coming from here?"

"And besides, nothing can exist forever with absolutely no consequences, nothing. Even me, one of the guys who usually enforces that, knows that I have to play it careful to stay alive. While I may not have to be as careful as any normal being, and while I may be near indestructible, I'm not immortal, and I'm bound by certain rules, just a little more loosely than most people."

"And there you have it, hope that answered your question."

"Oh, and to answer another of your questions, at their base forms they are all genderless, only being entities of pure energy and creation itself, but the thoughts that they have forms who they are as thinking beings, therefore defining who they are and how they look. Light just happens to think of himself in such a way that he is male, and the thoughts from there define him. See? It's more based on the experiences they've had and the thoughts they have than anything else."




Question 8!

TownCrier, it's your time to feel the spotlight! His question:

'Will Rainbow Dash ever get her head out of her ***?'


"Annoyance, this is up your alley here."

"Hmmm, okay. To answer your question:

No. That's all.

"*sigh* Okay, just ignore him. The real answer will be revealed in the next few chapters coming in, and I dropped a none-too-subtle hint in the latest chapter, so have a look over that again to see what I'm trying to say..."




Question 9!

'Will Light ever stop trying to avoid being killed? Even for a moment longer than 2 chapters?'


"Fate? Can you answer this strangely phrased question?"

"Not likely. I sense that he's going to have a very rough time ahead of him. Also, why in the hell would he stop trying to avoid being killed? Do you want him to lie down and die or something? Either way, I hope that he doesn't, but even I can't see the answers to questions like that. They are much too... fuzzy.

"I'm sorry if I can't be of more help..."




Question 10!

This one is for the very kind xXSilverLiningXx

Here's the full thing he wrote, and I think he's incredibly kind:

Two questions:
First of all, how the h*** did this disappear from my favorites list? It was one if the first fimfics I ever read! I love it, and I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you that. Honestly don't know what happened.
Lastly, would you mind taking a look at my story? We seem to have very similar (and in some cases non-standard) views of (t)he characters, and it would make me very happy. Feel free to say no though. I understand how hectic it can get to read something serious AND try to not merge it with your own views in-story.
Again, thanks/sorry.


"Now, I know that this may not come off as a full question, but I feel that this guys is awesome, and while I haven't had a full look at his fics yet, they look very promising, so anyone who's interested, head over to his page and check out his two fics, they desperately need TEH LUV!

"Please people, give you admiration to this wonderful pony, he's one of the few that you find on the internet that is kind and gives you nice words (Hopefully meaning them :| ).

"This is how I feel about this guy at the moment:



"Now, that's all for the moment. Thanks for the questions, and for the continued support. It makes this so worthwhile to know that you guys are having just about as much fun as I am."

SEE YOU LATER!

"BYE!"

"Farewell, for the moment."

"Good, now I can go back to reading. buzz off."

"Yeah yeah, I don't care, bugger off already!"

"Meh, I'll say bye later or something, I'm just gonna sleep...

...or go play LoL...

BYE! ALL OF YOU! I'LL SEE YOU ALL LATER!"

"BYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
