11th Dress

[prissy_hooves]

[If anyone was ever wondering how Rarity would deal with suddenly being forced to live in a hellish post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, the answer is 'not well.'  She's just lying there in the middle of what used to be Hastings Boulevard with the tattered remains of the fluffy pink robe she wears to bed every night just barely hanging off her form, completely shell-shocked and in the middle of a complete breakdown.]

This... this can't be!  My sewing studio... my precious fabric and gemstones!  My designs!  They're all gone!  Gone forever!

[Rarity dramatically lifts a hoof to her forehead, rolling around on her back and sobbing hysterically.]

How could this happen?  This is the worst day ever!

[Punctuating each word with what is probably still a rather over-dramatic thrash of her body, even under these circumstances, Rarity eventually ceases all movement and just continues to lie there in the street.]

I don't want to live in a world where fashion is dead.  Oh, sweet nothingness... come and claim me!  Steal away my sight, that I may no longer be forced to look upon this colorless landscape!

[And now she's mock-fainting.  A loud sigh escapes her lips as her eyes close.  Anyone who's even bothering to pay the slightest bit of attention should realize she's not dead, and is just being a huge drama queen.  But there she lies, all the same.]

What possible reason would anypony have to attack each other at this point?

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Weaving? I know a little about it, but I can't say I've ever really had to do much of it before...

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Rarity, don't be ridiculous. You are not sleeping in dirt. Come on. I can think of a few places that might be safe, or at least a few people who would know where safe places are. We just have to find them.

[ He shrugs. ] You never know until you give it a try.

[wingsaflutter.livejournal.com]

Oh Rarity...

It's going to be alright.

[motherofjegus.livejournal.com]

Well if the need arises I will happily teach you, it is very simple to learn and a good skill to acquire.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

How can you even say that, Fluttershy? Have you seen the state of my inspiration room? It's been completely burnt to the ground! There's nothing left, not even scraps!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

If you insist.

[Rarity finally hauls herself up. She'll come along, but she doesn't have to like it.]

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Point me in the direction of one such mythical treasure trove, and I shall be happy to make an attempt.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I suppose it might be a good way to pass the time...

[wingsaflutter.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we can replace everything, but the most important thing is that you're alright.

I don't think I can replace you.

[partysense.livejournal.com]

That is no reason to just be a big ol' quitter on life like a silly billy willy nilly filly! Cheer up, Rarity, it's not the end of the world!

...

Actually, it is, I think, but we can always start over!

Oh my god that was the cutest tag ever aaaaahhhhh

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

[Rarity opens her eyes at that, slowly standing and looking back at her friend with a rather embarrassed expression on her face.]

Oh, Fluttershy... You're right. The important thing is that we still have each other.

[She smiles, nodding.]

Have you found anypony else yet?

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

This is quite a bit to rebuild...

[gotoyourmoon.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad to hear it. But I might suggest that we mourn the loss of your artistry at some other time. I don't think it's safe to stay here.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

I do.

[That's okay, really. Nina doesn't demand cheerfulness. Just Rarity's safety.]

I think we should try to find Caesar. He's someone I know. He helps me with things. He's been planning for something like this. He might know what to do.

[partysense.livejournal.com]

Think of it as a fresh canvas ready for new inspiration!

[motherofjegus.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is another positive outcome! One must always consider the good of the situation.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I don't think much of anywhere qualifies as 'safe' at this point.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I just hope he has running water. I could really use a good, long soak.

[ugh ugh dirt everywhere post-apocalyptic world y u b so dirty]

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

[Wow, she's almost speechless over here.]

You really do have a marvelous talent for looking at the bright side of things, Pinkie.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Well, weaving it is, then! Perhaps I can start by turning what's left of this bathrobe into something...

[motherofjegus.livejournal.com]

An excellent idea! Oh! I'm Dolorosa, it is nice to meet you.

[meltdowning.livejournal.com]

A wise decision.

You've already survived, don't be ungrateful.

People get desperate when they have little to nothing left.
