If I wasn't, there wouldn't be much point to this thread.

So fire away! Arm all questions! Let the game begin anew!

That I did, that I did... but I'm back!

Logical? very. Accurate? Not so much. That said, some of what said still applies, like for example it's still difficult to feel silly while sick or tired.

Which I happen to be right now. I'll answer more questions tomorrow, but for now I'll bid thee farewell, along with any potential curious folk.

Oh, you were never a Pokemon. I'm just crazy enough to make the comparisons.

As the five (minus the payed help) walked, a thought struck Riddle. He hadn't seen the inside pf Cantorlot in years. He assumed it would be the same the same, but he really didn't know.

"Hey Mythos, hows Cantorlot been lately? Is it still that same bastion of fancy, or has it all gone shmancy?"

If the loopiness stopped - yes

If its still going on - no

If it balances out - maybe

Until I know for certain - I don't know

Just to be sure though - can you repeat the question?

I do believe your starting to catch on. The tomatoes act as a replacement for the sillyness. It has been proven time and time again that one can't feel silly and sick at the same time (with the exception of delirium) because one is too busy feeling terrible and sick and what-not.

That said, they're still only plan B, because no one wants to be sick.

What is it?

That is a completely fair point, but consider this. If you're sleepy that would override the loopiness in the same way that a Pokemon can't attack itself in its confusion while asleep. This gives time for the former to where out while the latter takes place in a worst case scenario.

Also, those tomatoes are an excellent plan B.

Query - if one were to (and this is completely hypothetical, mind you) go about taking over a small country or large town, what would be the most efficient way of dealing with any current high ranking political figures?

Additional footnote - Ideally this should be done discreetly.

North Star flinched a little when the pegasus hissed at him. He supposed it was the stress of the situation, so he tried not to make to much of it, but it still caught him a bit off guard. Shaking his head, he decided not to reply. Anything he could have added would do nothing but keep them in the same place. The longer they stayed in the same place the more likely they were to find out what was making the hissing noise. He certainly figured remaining silent was a better alternative to that.

After a good minute or so of walking, North Star noticed two things. First, his eyes were finally starting to adjust to the light. He still couldn't see clearly for more than five or so feet, and he need to focus a bit to actually see anything, but just this fact alone gave him hope. The second thing he noticed concerned the hissing noise. It seemed to get quieter the first couple moments, but now it just seemed to stay at exactly the same sound. Which clearly meant it was following them. Which was bad.

Turning around, motioned to the pegasus, saying "Well, our friend back there seems upset we're leaving. We could either hurry it up and try to lose it, or I could stall for a minute or so then catch up to you. Your tumble, your choice after all." North Star tried to be as happy toned as he could. He certainly didn't want to do anything that upset the pegasus, because that would be a blunder he wouldn't forget for a while. Giving a choice seemed like a simple enough solution to that one.

Well, if I've learned anything from Pokemon its that you can't be affected by more than two things at the same time. If you were to be sleepy that would mean the loopy feeling - as you put it - would be gone, yes.

Although those microwaved tomatoes might do the same thing. Worth a shot.

Well you see, it all started with Indiana Jones. We all know the first three movies were brilliant, but the fourth movie was met with such criticism that it was considered just plain silly (mind you that this was the general opinion - not mine). Since the fourth movie featured aliens, the actual aliens figured that if they kept masquerading as loopy superstitions no one would take them seriously enough to try and, you know, discover them.

As an extension of this, they're researching the effects of forcing the idea of loopiness into others so as to remain in hiding.

Well, there are few things that might be going on here, but all of them are obvious. As most people know, the obvious answer is always wrong (or just plain boring) so I'm going to chalk this one up to aliens.

Yes, actually. Didn't pull it out first, ended up eating a small chunk of my computer.

Some lessons you learn the hard way.

Amber chuckled along with the dragon. "True, true. My teeth are a bit pointier than they should be."

Pausing for a bit, she took in the information. Clearly it wasn't as difficult as she had first thought for a dragon to be raised among ponies. The bit about pony food was a touch interesting. Being raised by a full blown cave dragon, she had never really seen her mother eat much besides gems, although in retrospect Amber realized she could have easily eaten anything she wanted.

"So, how's Cantorlot? I've always wanted to go there, really... Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. You don't even know my name and you know more about my past then I usually share. My name's Amber Flare."

It was only fair to give her name, after this amount of time

If you can pull out the digital coding into an edible muffin, I'd imagine they'd be very safe and very, very tasty.

Given that they have faces, it might be a touch unsettling though...

Indeed I have! Several actually, ranging from Mabonagi to Runescape among others, but currently I play League of Legends.

I do believe that answers your question, so here is your complimentary muffin:

Amber paused for a minute, not realizing her mistake until Wine&Dine had pointed it out. She certainly didn't see it at first, but Amber wasn't quite sure how she had looked it over in the first place. Taking a look through the window, she decided that it looked nice. "Well, to be fair I didn't know we were going to this specific cafe, although it does look nice."

She decided to briefly give an explanation of why she had overlooked it, just to cover her tracks up a little.

Probably the banana. Macintosh is nice and all, but I don't think he knows all that much about computers.

Elementary, my dear Hinata. I suppose that one could be chalked up to a sort of natural talent of mine.

Not that I'm one to boast.

Also, a 'lil bit of over-thinking never hurt anypony.

Probably all the subliminal mess- I mean, YAY! CIDER!

Query - When there are so many ask so-and-so threads floating around, why can't I have one as well?

Answer - No reason at all!

Come one come all, for this day I jump on the bandwagon! (or cider wagon, if you will)

Up front, I promise to answer any question given in a slightly timely fashion, with the grade-A blow your mind best possibly answer I can give!!!

Results may vary

"Well, I suppose if they show up it can't be helped." Amber was a bit glad she had a guide as they walked through Manehatten. By now, she was sure she'd be lost, without any trees or caves or anything else to use as a land marker. Amber did wonder what kind of food the cafe would have, after all she had yet to eat here, and she had no idea what the local food was like.

Looking around the various corners, she was still fascinated by the sheer amount of ponies and buildings, and, well, everything really. It was as different as she could possibly get from her normal habitats. Looking around, it was quite clear she was starstruck by the whole thing.

"Well, I do pride myself on the gems I pick. Only the best get in my collection!" Amber beamed as she spoke. She really did pride herself on her finds, figuring if she couldn't eat them often, she might as well enjoy the ones she did eat. She then chuckled as a realization hit her.

"Wait, if your defanged for a dragon, would that make me fanged for a pony?" Now there was an amusing thought. After she was done with this, she decided to follow up on the 'raised by unicorns'. That would an interesting tidbit of information to know, and she was still interested to know how that would work.

"Errmmm... I can't quite wrap my head around being raised by unicorns. Would they just have treated you normally, as if you were a pony? I mean, dragons do have different needs. Surely the gems must have been a hassle to get, at least."
