Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where the Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures because of their encounters with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.
The long train ride to Bales is over, with Brie, Onyx, and Spark reaching their destination a little bruised but not dead or arrested. Before them lies a new and unfamiliar city and world, at the crossroads of Equestria's past and present, and also the Changeling Occupied Zone and East Equestria. In Baltimare, Dark Star prepares to set out on a mission to track down and arrest unfaithful and unreliable local law enforcement that have been leaking information to rebel forces. Silver may finally have a new toy he can use to clear the Catacombs of their undead presence. Iron, meanwhile, has drifted further into an temple in his search for a treasure sough by an archaeological expedition that was ambushed by bandits.

>>102197"Don't Act Like you Don't Know, you Fink."
He Growls
>>102200Mint Marine looks up at Silver from his position on the floor
“I don’t know... I haven’t been here as long. I guess collect bottle caps from milk bottles, walk around outside... I go by the pond and look at the insects. Sometimes try to fold up newspapers and float them as boats. Sometimes I read fairy tales, or old poems when I’m stuck inside”
>>102201“It’s Pransisco isn’t it? Tell him I haven’t ratted on shit”
>>102202He smiles. "It sounds like you enjoy being around water."
>>102203He Smiles as he tells him a name.
"How Did You Guess? If It Wasn't you,then who was it? The boss isn't Very Happy."
>>102204“Sometimes. When I lived with my grandmother on the Moonlight Shores I’d watch the smaller yachts and fishing boats go by”
>>102205“I don’t know who did what, but I haven’t talked for shit!”
>>102206"When I was your age in St. Petershoof, I would sometimes see boats out on water when I made delivery out to docks. Who knows, perhaps when you grow up, you will become great sailor, like your name suggests."
>>102208He nods, still looking up at the old pony
>>102207Dark Star Squints
"I Might believe you. What was the last thing you did for the Gang?"
>>102209He certainly looks old, if a little younger than his actual age. The bandages still wrapped around his neck look like they either need to be removed or changed. Bits of his super floof poke out of his olive drab fatigues and make him look a bit like a teddy bear wearing an outfit. Despite all this, he still looks big and strong, very fit for a pony of his age.
As for what he is doing now, he speaks once again to the two foals. "Would you two like to do something? Play game, hear story? Maybe take trot around town?"
>>102210“Are you that short sighted? I kept customs away for not one, but two ships.”
>>102211White Orchid wags his tail
“Yes.”
Mint Marine nods approvingly
>>102212Silver smiles and stands up. "Well, what would you like to do?"
>>102212"Just 2? thats not that many."
He Cocks an eyebrow
"That's Nice and all, But what have you done for us lately?"
>>102214"Excellent choice. Ice cream it is, then! Let us go let one of nuns know that we are going for ice cream."
>>102215“Lately? That’s in the past couple weeks. You know I foiled that investigation the city was trying to do on Caporetto. After all he did for us I figured he earned it”
>>102216He is silent, then tilts his head
“Do we have to tell them?”
>>102217"I am certain they would appreciate it, so they do not worry about where you are." Silver tilts his head in the opposite direction. "Unless there is reason you do not want to tell them?"
>>102218“They normally don’t want us eating too many sweets”
>>102219"Ohhhhh." He scratches his muzzle. "Well...we will just leave that part out."
>>102220White Orchid nods
Mint Marine comments
“I think they would let us under the circumstances”
>>102221"Follow me, then." Silver leads the way out of the room, stopping by the nun who let him in on the way.
"Little ones want some air, so I am taking them out for walk around town. Just letting you know so you do not get worried."
>>102217"You Know, You're a Great Asset to our Gang. i Might Talk to the Boss, and see if you can get moved up."
>>102224Silver nods, and further leads the way out of the orphanage for the two foals. Once they're safely out of earshot of the orphanage, he speaks to them again. "Anything else you want to do after we get our ice cream? Go to park, trot around store? This might as well be your treat day, you should be able to do what you want."
>>102224Dark Star looks at the mare next to him
"What About Her?"
>>102225“I don’t know... I have t been out in a while...”
>>102226“She’s done nothing wrong”
>>102227"Hmm, might be you two actually did need some air. It is not good for ponies to be cooped up inside building all time. How about we go get our ice cream, eat it at park, then take proper trot around town so you can get reacquainted with locations around here? We can get to know each other along way."
>>102228“Okay”
Though Mint Marine has been silent, he keeps his attention on Silver, and seems to like the plan
>>102227ok just to clarify. She was also in the file?
>>102229Silver turns for the sort of light residential or commercial areas of towns where ice cream parlors and ice cream stands are common. "If I am being honest, it would do me some good as well to get more familiar with this city. I only just arrived short few days ago."
>>102230Yes, one of the possible leakers. She had the information
>>102232"You Can Leave."
he motions at the stallion.
>>102233He back out. Slowly
“And her?”
>>102231It takes a while of walking, but there is indeed an ice cream parlor, about 8 blocks down past residences
>>102234Silver opens the door to the parlor for them. "Go on in and choose your favorite. It is my treat."
>>102234"Don't Worry About it. She'll be fine"
He Grins
>>102235Mint Marine chooses a large bowl of strawberry ice cream. After a half minute, he realizes that he can add gummy bears and sprinkles. White Orchid immediately goes all out with a large sundae, adding whipped cream, banana, and chocolate cookie
>>102236“Okay...” he backs off
\r
[1d20+5 = 8]>>102237He listens to see if he walks away
>>102238He walks out, and Skies silently follows him
>>102237To be young like that again... Silver chuckles at this display. "I am not sure we will be able to go out to park to eat our ice cream, with so much of it ordered." Silver just orders a simple chocolate ice cream cone.
>>102239"i Know something about you too,miss."
He Grins
>>102241She stands there expressionless, defiantly
>>102240“Oh we need this to go? Let me ask for waffle cones...”
Even now, Zebrican chocolate makes it way to Baltimare, if at a higher price
>>102242"So Who Are you really working for?"
>>102242Silver just shakes his head and laughs to himself. "That was part of plan. Yes, waffle cones would most certainly help."
>>102244"Oh Don't Play Coy."
He gives her a Deadpan stare

We might not be hearing from iron for awhile.
I slept 12 hours last night, and it was amazing
>>102245The confused worker places the ice cream into waffle cones and bowls
“That will be 8 bits”
>>102246“What are you talking about?”
>>102248Well....
>>102251That's great to hear! Glad you're rested up.Silver takes 8 Bits worth of coins out of his bags and sets them on the counter. "There you go."
>>102248And I thought
we were having power troubles. Jesus. Hope things get sorted out for him soon.
>>102252Silver pays the pony, and he now has two little colts with towering ice cream cones to deal with
