[Furiosa isn't happy about leaving the Green Planet, but at the very least she was able to spend the entire time on its surface, aside from a visit to Lily on their ship.]

[When they do get underway, however, she receives her first sponsor pack - which is plainly visible in video feed. Also visible is one of the forest slugs, a vibrant green and blue creature, currently perched on the back of Furiosa's seat.]

Sponsors gave me a box. If anyone could use any -- [She reaches in to grab a few items; Flooter brand makeup in bright and flashy colors, metallics, and so much glitter its escaping its packaging. Sorry, First Breath] mascara, eyeshadow, blush ... there's a ton of it and I don't need it.

[Ugh. His muzzle wrinkles at that. That's just dumb. ]

Well that's ridiculous. You're just great just the way you are. You don't need to be someone you're not just for better ratings.

[kill_switch]

Thank you.

[But she can't help thinking on those words a little, especially after her conversation with Raven.] What if I told you, I already had, once?

[preformthisneigh]

You-

You were someone else?

[He sounds a little confused. Did she use magic or something? ]

[kill_switch]

[She nods, solemnly.] I had to convince some people I was like them in order to survive.

[preformthisneigh]

...Given what little I know about your world, I'm guessing this isn't a fun story at all.

[kill_switch]

There aren't any fun stories from my world. [The hard honest truth. What few happy stories there were were usually bookended by tragedy.]

But, maybe another time. [It felt selfish, almost, unloading her world onto something so innocent.]

[preformthisneigh]

...Yep. Figured as much.

[Not that Equestrian stories were all sugar and lolipops. But most of them had happy endings, at least. ]

Don't worry about it. These things take time. I understand. I'm around whenever you feel like you want to tell it.

[kill_switch]

Mm. I might. Appreciate it. [She'll probably ignore it unless it comes up again.]

[preformthisneigh]

Don't mention it. I know how these things go.

[His secrets aren't as terrible as others he has met away from Equestria. But back in the land where friendship is so important, his are pretty miserable. ]
