Maud accuses you of killing Boulder. What do you do?

[KillerKingBakudan 702]

You're told about buried treasure in a secluded part of Equestria and decide to go there with a pick axe and a shovel.

You reach the designated spot on the map and dig for hours. While you're at it, Maud unexpectedly appears behind you. You turn around and notice a tear rolling down her cheek as she asks what you've done. You say you don't understand and ask her what's wrong. She then shoves you aside and picks up two halves of a rock. She says the rock was her friend Boulder, and that you murdered him.

Before you can utter another word, she asks how you'd like it if somepony did this to you, and snatches the pick axe from your hands. When she gives you that blank stare, you know she's really thinking something horrific. What is your gut telling you to do?

[jackspedicy 112]

I'd blame the whole thing on Pinkie

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,000]

Nothing. Due to my many years of loyalty to her cause, I'm sure my goddess Rarity would bestow her protection on to me, killing that morose pretender in the process. The only power here is Rarity, everyone else is nothing but a bug by comparison.

[They call me Loyalty 1,941]

I kill her too, bang, with the rock I previously murdered. Why not? It's easier! Even the grave is set up and everything.

Besides, she's mentally sick, nobody is gonna miss her. Let's be honest. Pinkie pie might act like she cares, but it's mostly pity.

[GrimGrimoire 4,970]

What is boulder doing out of her pocket and in a secluded part of Equestria? He is not real, he can't travel.

Second, Boulder is pretty small, I don't think I could break him with a pick ax and shovel unless I was going out of my way just to break this one rock. (Seriously, anyone who has every used a pick ax knows how hard it it to break small rocks with one, they are designed to turn large rocks into smaller rocks after all)

Finally, if that did happen, Maud should be ecstatic.... Boulder would not be dead, he would be twins.

 

[Tiny Hoofs 200]

Pay my debts by working on the rock farm. Maybe I could see Pinkie Pie if she ever comes around to visit.

[Lenny 249]

Geez, if you wanted to mine so much you could of just told me.... m8

Rocks don't travel, but Maud wanted a rock pouch for a reason. And I'm sure if she wanted twins, she would have split Boulder in half already.

[Glacies Frost 428]

I'd never have used a pickaxe at all. If I was my ponysona, I'd have access to ice, which would allow me to cherry pick which part of the wall I'd be turning into smaller rocks. But, on the off chance I did "kill" Boulder... well... I'd apologize. A lot... I don't like hurting others, even those who don't show their pain on the outside.

[KillerKingBakudan 702]

So.... no concerns that she has your pick axe and is staring you down like she wants revenge?

[Widdershins 9,955]

  Die.

I would just up and die.

   Maud would not be one to express her feelings. To go that far to point it out to you & explain it, goes far more to explain her distraught & pain that she's feeling. At that point, clearly there would be no recompense. I have hurt another so deeply that nothing I could do would make up for it. We can argue all we want about that rocks supposed sentience, but what it meant to Maud is inarguable. If at all possible, I would commit Hari-Kiri on my own pickaxe to attempt to regain honor or allow her to strike me down as payment for my trespasses.

 

  Geez, peeps. Don't make light of a situation where you killed a mare's best friend! ...and yes, I am petting my own pet rock comfortingly. Whom I've also happened to have named boulder. But it's spelled Bul'Dar. To be original.

 Well, it IS Maud, after all. She's also related to Pinkie.

  Does anyone even think for a moment you could outrun or out-stronghoof her if she really put her mind to it? You know the old adage of a Mare Scorned.....

[Meeps 297]

Well, immediately after reading that, I suppose my first thought would be to run, lol.

[Castle Bleck 19,163]

Hire Starlight to go back in time and prevent me from doing so.

Wonder Twin powers activate! Form of .... ... ... 

Hm. What would they take the form and shape of? 

 

....

 

 

Anyway I would hire the Rock Biter from Neverending Story to be my body guard. I would then secretly have Pinkie sell tickets to the inevitable battle. Then I would take my share and offer it to Maud as damages. 

That's what I would do. 

 

[Bomb Sheep 77]

Take out my knife and shank Maud 5 times. Skin her and then bring her pelt and meat to a major city to sell. Solving the problem while getting profit. Cha-ching!

[Foxy Socks 2,596]

I would tell her I did her a favor, there are now TWO boulders now.

They are Rock Lords in disguise. I still remember that awful Go-Bots film with them in it. Anyway, that is where Boulder comes from.

Hey kids I'm Boulder! Who needs semi trucks and jet fighters!? We Rock Lords transform into rocks! And then we just sort of... lay there... and sometimes get lost in the garden... and run over by lawnmowers.... or if we are lucky thrown through someones window.... wait! Where are you going!!!!  Oh well.. at least Maud loves me.

I seriously wish I was making this crap up.

 

[Snow Frostflame 3,567]

Wait Maud has emotions? Wait how did I kill Boulder, he's the size of a pebble?

 

As for what I'd do, I'd have no choice but to draw a weapon on her and hope she wants to be reasonable. Otherwise Pinkie will be in the same scenario, and its going to be a never ending chain of revenge.

I would tell her that I didn't kill Boulder, because it is impossible to kill something that was never alive.

Lol, omg.  I think you confused this topic with the one entitled, "What would you do if you stumbled across an MLP pony in the wilds of Skyrim?" 

[Randimaxis 8,633]

I would apologize profusely, of quartz... maybe try to convince her that Boulder's onyx way to Rock Heaven.

Then, I would tellurite now that I shale try to find a way to make it up to her...

... because I wouldn't take such a situation for granite.

I'm sure that would register as hate speech in her mind, and she'd react by calling you a "rockist", or some other label. Whatever happens from there can only get more painful.

[SugarCoatxMarblePie 701]

I would get Discord to fix it, problem solved. Besides, you can't kill Maud, she can tear apart boulders with her hooves like its made of dried clumps of dirt. Just replace those rocks with your bones is what would happen to you.

fatality

Not only that, she punches super fast. Her reaction time is supa fast, so no, you guys above wouldn't be able to kill her and Fluttershy would be ashamed (and sad!) if you did.
