Later, dawg [Open!]

[meat_mooks]

|| Attention, crew. Those who wish to attend the funeral of Matthew O'Connor, please report to the Observation Deck. ||

Another death announcement so soon after the last. It's a sad day.

Once again, the Observation Deck is arranged for the launch. The departed crew member, better known as Punchy in his lifetime, is encased in a central pod. The deck is lit by the starlight pouring in from the open window, a blazing blue star that will soon be Punchy's final resting place.

Another life lost. Time to say farewell once more.

"So they didn't destroy our worlds?" The overall logic of this was becoming quite confusing.

"No one knows if they can be brought back," Hit Girl replied honestly. "All we know is that we might be able to do something after this is over, maybe. It's all a big 'if,' you know?"

[elementofloyalty]

"Sure we can," Rainbow Dash said. "If the Elements of Harmony could undo everything Discord did to Equestria, then they can undo this."

[hit_girl_mindy]

Yup, you lost her with the talk of Elements of Harmony and Discord, even if she was sure AJ mentioned it before.

"Yeah, you really don't get how actual universes and dimensions work. being able to do something like that is a power neither of us really get. I mean, even coming here, you've seen how many different people there are, and can imagine how we're pretty much specks in the scheme of things. What the fuck would be powerful enough to recreate our worlds from scratch, with all the same people and everything?"

[elementofloyalty]

That finally snapped Rainbow Dash's patience.

"YOU know what?" she said, jabbing a hoof at the girl. "YOU talk big about a lot of stuff you don't know a thing about either, but you're sure quick to shut down anything I say. You're just the sort that HAS to be right about everything."

Dismissively, she lifted a couple of feet in the air to turn and fly off.

"I thought we were talking," Hit Girl said flippantly. "But if you wanna get technical? Yeah, maybe I am shutting down what you say. If you think about it though, I might have a reason. Otherwise, why the fuck would I even bother?"

And that was Hit Girl, bare bones, telling it like it was.

"You think most people on the ship don't think like you? Well they do, or they want to, anyway. I'm just saying if you do that, you're just gonna set yourself up for something really bad hitting you. I know what I'm talking about, ok?"

[elementofloyalty]

"I told you the reason: you always have to be right. Well, be right by yourself!" she snapped, then flew off.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Damn. She thought she liked that pony. Whatever. If she wanted to be an ass like everyone else and believe in the divine to save them, she could be useless by herself. If something bad happened, like if Applejack...

"No," she said aloud, firmly. "That ain't happening."

This was what happens, she thought to herself, when I'm surrounded by bleeding heart heroes. They actually start making me believe happy thoughts and bullshit will save everyone.
