//------------------------------// // Q&A! // Story: The New Guy // by SilverWind102 //------------------------------// To Silver: What does your spell 'Silence' actually do? For those of you who don't want to know, I'll cover this. I intend on covering this in the story. “My Silence, huh? It's...not exactly my proudest work. Not because it's a defective spell or anything, no. Its basic concept is actually quite simple, really. I control the flow of air to the lungs. “I can use it in a couple of ways, actually. I can restrict it and suffocate the target, or I can expand the air in the lungs, causing them to rip. If I expand it fast enough, they pop like a balloon.” To Twilight and Luna: (this one will get some funny reactions from the cast) It was never actually described in the clop chapters so I'm curious... does he have a knot? Twilight has taken this chance to impersonate a tomato and hide behind her wings. Luna, on the other hoof, has no such reservations. “Hmm...is that what that bulge at the end of his shaft is called?” “Luna!” “I'm afraid I'm not very well versed in wolf anatomy. I should certainly brush up on it though, now that I have a perfect specimen, and a wonderful mare to teach me everything~” “Luna!!!!” *ignores pleas* “In all honesty, it was actually that knot, as you call it, that made me let him finish inside me the first time. I was actually stuck on it and couldn't really pull it out.” “That's it! This interview is over!” Twilight huffed, snagging Lunas tail in her mouth and dragging her away. “As big as my hoo-!” “DAMNIT LUNA!” To Saber: Sooo, would you be classified as a split personality or an alter-ego? “I'm actually an alter-ego. I'm still Silver and Silver is still me, we're just different sides of a coin. I'm just his more violent side. "Any decision made is because we're both in agreement though. It's better to think of us as two different mindsets, rather than egos. Silver is much more calm, content and complacent. I am much more violent, brash and headstrong.” To the author, Silver, Twilight and Luna: Rainbow Dash... I'm not even sure what I want to ask about her. Whether you guys might eventually give her a chance to join the herd? What you plan on doing to help her deal with both her trauma and her feelings for Silver? I don't know, but that plot thread is still kinda just sitting there...in its cloud house... alone... I was actually supposed to included that explanation in the last chapter, but since I was already a day late, I figured I would just add in the part where Star Shine and Twilight find the journals, since I'd been meaning to mention them earlier on but never did. So, I moved the Rainbow part to the beginning of the newest chapter as the beginning. Everything is answered in there, so read it if you want but I'll go ahead and give answer you're questions anyway. No, she will not be joining the herd. As the Element of Loyalty, I felt like it would be against her nature to be in a relationship with multiple partners, since herds aren't common in their day. She is still recovering from her trauma, though she has become significantly better since before. Her feelings for Silver have also been mostly dealt with and they will continue on as good friends. And yeah, I know I kinda left that plot thread there for while. I didn't mean to, it just kinda happened that way. To Silver: sooo, do you actually gain scars from these wounds or nah? “Yes, I do. Star Shine made a fur growth potion that helps my fur to grow over the scars, so you can't tell they're there unless you feel them like Twilight did.” To Star: have you ever had feelings for either Blackie or Silver? “I'll admit, I had a bit of an infatuation with Silver, or rather Saber at the time, at one point. But I realized he treated most cute girls the same way, and figured I was nothing special. He still dotes on me from time to time, but it's all harmless. So, yes I did at one point, but not anymore. “As for Black Wing, I've never been fond of his...well to be frank, whorish habits. That's what mostly drove me away from him. I don't believe he's ever been in a committed relationship so I didn't even bother with trying. So no, I can't say I ever really felt anything for him.” To Twilight: Why are you focusing your research at "The One Who Wonder" if you (including rest of "research team") didn't finish researching about "Zodiac tome". Its not like just because there are few pages missing it can't tell you ANYTHING, besides what about possibility of spell/message hidden inside other or through whole book straight. “I realize we still don't know a lot about the Zodiac Tome, but remember Star Shine is analyzing it at the moment. I trust her ability to handle it, and she will tell us what she knows when she's ready. Until then, there's no point in pestering her and we should continue focusing on the leads we do have, far fetched though they may be.” Are the diamond dogs related to the wolves of houndland at all? Silver looks to Star Shine, "What the hell's a Diamond Dog?" "It's a bipedal canine creature that lives in caves below Equestria. Unlike most dogs, these are fully intelligent creatures capable of speech and even have a society underground. They have a strong desire for treasure and gems as well." Silver begins to wag his tail, "Oh! Sounds like my kind of guys!" Star Shine rolls her eyes, "But to answer the question, yes, we are closely related to Diamond Dogs, even though they don't come from Houndland. It's actually been thought that they are the offspring of one of the previous royal guards and some other creature, though I can't be sure of their lineage. If I had to guess, I'd say most likely a dragon, given that they too are bipedal and have a lust for treasure."
