Incidental Recording
Included in reference to Dash diary entries
Date: 17/09/1215
(recording begins)
RAINBOW DASH: -idn’t say anything like that, you’re just getting cranky-
TWILIGHT SPARKLE: I am not cranky!
RD: -because you spend too much time locked up in that little room with your books-
TS: That- don’t you dare-
RD: -like some boring egghead!
TS: -call me- raagh!
(loud thump, crashing sound)
RD: Twilight!
BELLEROPHON: Hey what’s going on in here?
RD: Twilight just threw-
TS: She started it!
RD: -a plate at- I did not!
BM: Ladies, lets not fight okay?
RD: We’re not fighting, we-
TS: Oh we’re fighting all right!
RD: What? No we’re-
TS: What’s the matter, scared I might win?
BM: Twilight.
RD: Okay that’s it!
(thumps, inaudible)
BM: Rain- Twilight no, put her down! She didn’t-
TS: Why?
LYRA: Hey what’s-
BM: -do anything to deserve that!
RD: You’re damn right I didn’t!
BM: Twilight, let her go and step- back- okay? Just- I know Rainbow can be a bit-
LH: What the hay, guys? I hear banging next thing I see-
RD: Lyra this isn’t the time.
LH: -you’re both over there, Twi’s crying in the corner-
RD: She just went for me over nothing!
LH: -frankly I’m this close to pulling my badge on you two.
RD: Oh come on!
TS: (inaudible) isn’t happening it isn’t (inaudible)
BM: Lyra, she was gonna bounce Rainbow off the damn wall, I had to-
TS: Why do you keep taking her side?
BM: -grab her- Because nobody else does, okay? Nobody!
TS: (inaudible)
LH: It’s not-
RD: (inaudible) princess.
TS: (inaudible)
(door slam)
LH: (pause) Great job, you two.
BM: Oh come on, she- she knows Dash’s sense of humour by now.
LH: She might. Does that matter?
BM: I-
RD: I never did anything!
LH: Think about it from her point of view for a bit, okay? I’ve got-

TS: Note to self, find out why recorder keeps activating in high-tension situations. Cross-reference sympathetic effects of unicorn emotional states on magical abilities. Make sure transcriber daemon hasn’t already copied the erased portion of this recording.

TS: Additional note, buy a new bed for the study.

Hokay then. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_ooh.png
That was... nice...
And just wondering here, probably just me forgetting, but who is Bellerophon?
Bellerophon
1626846
Bellerophon. Bel lero phon. Lero.
-Boops Hikari on the nose-
1626885 That one was.
1626846 The ancient Greek hero who... tamed... Pegasus.
Oh my god, I just got that.
1626880 oh... I almost guessed that... Makes sense, considering...
High emotions - hahaha, I get it.
Anyway, was the Honey incident different from the one that finished Xenophilia? I mean, it sure sounds like since I don't remember a tree, and Lyra wasn't in their herd yet, so.... Yeah. Pointless comment, ho!
Wow that cover art has Lero look identical to me!
1626918 Seems like Honey biatch was trying to scare Lero at her own. And she ended up on a tree trying to run from Lero
Love this fic but the constant editing to what we get to see (the in story editing such as the recordings) really detract from the quality of the work as it seems like we only get to see a tenth of what's actually happening. I get its being done in the style of a journal so its thematically appropriate but still its jarring to the point of making me want to pull my hair out in frustration.
Maybe a post the other half of this stuff in another fic as a companion work so we can get a better idea of what the hell is going on?
1626898
It is just about the single most fitting name for the character ever, isn't it?
1626898 How did you just get that?! They pointed it out in Xenophilia!!
1627096 I... guess I forgot?
Well that didn't go very well. Interesting to see the Egghead comment finally hit Twilight's last nerve, that was probably building up for years.
Really curious about the rest of this comment by Dash.

AWESOME STORY BUT I really hate cliff-hanger they make my hair slowly go gray and im only 16 but i have a friend in school who actually has gray hair and he is only 14 or 15
um i think you might have meant to write BN BellerophoN not BM id rather not write what those 2 letters are usually associated with
Yup, two socially awkward power houses with raw nerves can be rough.
1626918
Lyra wasn't in the herd back at the end of Xenophilia, but Dash's journal talks about her as though she is. So this would be after Xenophilia.
Gotta say I'm kind of meh on the whole Lyra thing. For one I think it was among the weakest parts of the original.
Shouldn't it be BN, not BM. He doesn't even have an M in his name.
BM
BM
M
Why "M?" Lero doesn't have an "M" in his name...
1627006 Be fun finding out though, wouldn't it?
1627687>>1628059>>1628454 I have to admit, I forgot to include his full name. Bellerophon Michaelides. Greek father. Very sorry about the confusion, it won't happen again.
1627869 The extra leaves are garnish for the individual bowls of soup. And yes it is very tasty, though I prefer chicken stock to vegetable stock.
1627767
1627842 3, counting Lyra, though not sure about that... Then Lero IS a human, but he's not a powerhouse.
1627821 Recipes were promised and now one has been supplied.
Chestnuts feature quite a lot in my own cooking (author appeal!) because they taste so damn good. They're a very versatile seed. Or nut. I can never remember which. One day I'll have to post my chestnut chocolate truffle cake recipe. Delish.
1627096 -facepalm-
Euggh.....
Wait... I thought that Rainbow commented on how loud Lero could yell... --And what was that about giving him the name "BM"? What's his middle name?
OK, now I have the feels. That's why I'm here, I guess, so... thanks?
Geez with all of these comments here especially the part that stuff might be after the main story. I'm not sure if this scene was from the actual story or not anymore. The only thing I can do is keep on reading.
1626943
Dashie, did you just say you hate Fluttershy?
1628951
Only if Fluttershy was disguised as that particular tree.
1626898 just now?
BUCK YEAH! 3 chapters at once? Awesome
Loving the depiction of their everyday life stuff, especially the high stress environment of a polygamous relationship. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd probably wear myself out after the first week trying to "please" all three of them

Fluttertree. Becoming ALL the trees!
Love how Lyra just keeps walking into the recordings going "Hay guys what's going on in here?" Happened here and in the Dash/Sparkle interview earlier.
When I read
I couldnt help but think of this
Wow... Well now that this whole incident is being referenced. It feels like this particular argument should turned into its own side story. I think it'd be really interesting to read it in a linear format from escalation to resolution.

Twilight Sparkle confirmed for True Capitalist.
Shit, buying an extra bed for the study!?
That shit can't stand, if this ends in TS leaving the herd, I'll be a sad pony.
(Good thing I'm not a pony. )
1630716
Ghost may be dead, but his spirit still loves on in all of us True Capitalists
1630898 It's hardly a spoiler to say she doesn't.
1630119 I've wondered about salt. They seem to view it as something like alcohol.

1629992>>1630716 I am ashamed to confess I had no idea what you were on about and had to look it up. The internet sure is big...
1631277
Just search for Ghost True Capitalist Radio or look for darkrazorz's channel on youtube
1626898
wow, I got that straight from when I first heard his name.
I busted a gut laughing when I read it, and my friends looked at me like I had blue lobsters crawling out my ears.
On one hand I really like this fic, though on the other I think that Bellerophon is a really stupid ass name. Just stick with Lero, man. Sounds more like a real guys name rather than something you'd name a asteroid or something.
1631438 but... are you not aware of the joke about bellerophon? It becomes infinitely funnier when you think about it...
What the hell? God, I'd have been very tempted to smack Twilight. I hate people who lash out for minor things and then act like the victim. Fucking cowardly thing to do. Doesn't matter what they said, if you throw the first punch you are the one at fault.

And if you're paying attention, it's not too hard to suss out the fact that Twilight won't leave the herd. According to Rainbow's diary, this argument takes place in 1215. Lyra's diabeetus-inducing vows for the wedding, which takes place in 1217, begin as follows:
Kind of hard to have a herd of four (counting Lero) if Twi isn't there, right?
1627912
Speak for yourself. I actually liked the portrayal of Lyra as something other than a human-obsessed nutjob who's in love with Bon-Bon. The fanon version of Lyra was funny at first, but now the equine corpse of that joke has become an indeterminate pile of mush from all the beating it's taken. *Looks meaningfully at his avatar, coughs discreetly*
But then again, as a Lyra fanboy, I'm a bit biased... dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png

Buy a new bed, huh?
Okay, who threw it?
