Ask Scribble Octavia

I am Octavia, principal cellist for the Canterlot Orchestra. Yes, I live with Vinyl, which seems to be the first question out of everyone's mouth. Just to clear that up. And stop being so surprised about the magic usage, it's hardly uncommon...

[askscribbleoctavia]

I believe Vinyl might be paying for this repair after all.

She says it was "for science".

I think she just likes breaking things.

Generally speaking, they are considered something of an essential item - they're not too expensive unless you have something custom made.

There are a large number of businesses producing various models, so yes, there's a fair bit of advertising, but it's no longer allowed to advertise on personal devices. Billboards and the like are fine.

...also, on an unrelated note, it would seem this blog has been up for one year today! Just as an aside.

Scribble is a bespoke conductor, most ponies just buy standard pieces, or order basic customisations such as colour, or sizing requirements.

Oh, turns out our camera records audio too! So just going to put this up again...

This one time, she left without noticing I'd borrowed the caps, and was meant to be helping move some stuff at her concert hall, yeah?

Yeah. Got THAT in the neck.

Oh, and the posters? They're both from Christmas. Sort of anyway...have a look, here and here!

Either she expends constant magic keeping them on her face, or they're exceptionally well fitted.

[askscribbleoctavia]

The colour isn't relevant, incidentally. It depends on where the magic originally came from.

I don't even know why I'm paying for this.

[askscribbleoctavia]

It's something I've never forgotten.

You don't start perfect. That's what practice is for.

Vinyl and I wish you a very pleasant nightmare night.

The spell for the wings took her ages, she's very proud.

[askscribbleoctavia]

I am rather fond of Earl Grey.

[askscribbleoctavia]

It certainly saves time spent moving back and forth between the head and tail of the instrument, even if it is a bit of a waste of magic.

[askscribbleoctavia]

Don't mind Vinyl. Thank you all very much!

I only hope we can remain interesting to you!
