In a Sea of Madness

If we’re going to survive on this island, we’re going to do it by the book. As of this moment, I’m forming a provisional government in accordance with Section 4 Subsection 5 of the Equestrian legal code.

AppleJack will be my new minister of Agriculture. Discord left us with a three-month supply of emergency rations, but we’ll need to supplement them with local food, just in case. I hope her apple-farming experience is applicable to coconuts.

Rainbow Dash shall be our new minister of Weather Management. From what I’ve read, tropical islands are susceptible to violent storms, especially this far south. Having a weather pony would give us an advance warning of any incoming storms, help us bust any storm clouds that get too close, and provide a source of fresh water. More importantly, it will keep Rainbow busy. A busy Rainbow is a happy Rainbow.

Fluttershy, being Fluttershy, is to be our new Minister of Wildlife Management. We need to know what’s friendly and what’s deadly fast. My knowledge of tropical plants and animals is limited- I’m the Princess of Friendship, not Biology- so I’ll need her expertise.

Now, for Rarity. We’re going to need some sort of covering to protect us from sunburn and sunstroke. Therefore, I’m designating her as our new Minister of Textiles. Working without a sewing machine or needles will be a challenge, but I know she’ll find a way. A true fashionista always enjoys a challenge.

Finally, there’s Pinkie. I’m afraid she’ll be wearing two hats: She’ll be both our Minister of Food and our Minister of Recreation. She’ll have the unenviable job of keeping us fed, and, most importantly, keeping us sane. I hate to dump all this responsibility on her, but if anypony can stay positive while the laws of physics go haywire, it’s her.
