Twilight Sparkle: In any case, I think we’re on the right track. Let’s wait for this chaotic “disaster” to strike and see if we can solve it with our Cutie Marks.
DM: …Somehow.
Twilight Sparkle: It’s not the most heroic or thorough plan, I know… We’re dealing with unknown magic. Our whole strategy here is to throw ourselves into the deep end.

DM: No, thankfully you don’t meet any simulacra of your family. The house is empty.
Rarity: So who IS living in this alternate Ponyville, then?
DM: You know… extras. Background ponies.
