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
In the North, in Bales, Brie has just aquired a carriage with which he shall make the journey into the Changeling Occupied Zone, alongt with Spark and Onyx. In Baltimare, Dark Star recouperates from injuries sustained in a near fatal encounter with a Changeling opperative. Silver helps treat two traumatized orphans, and Iron examines ancient secrets in the Jungles

I think it would have been interesting to have Dark Star and Silver discuss the Changeling question with the two colts and Blue Skies present.... but that opinion may not be universally shared

Don't!
>Would have been interesting
Eh, probably not. One would say 'Changies are nice and cuddly creatures like us aka they have equine consciousness' and the other would say 'No, they don't. They burned my house down so they have to die!"

Do you realize the scope of what you have just done?
>>104260
It would be interesting, I suppose, so long as there wasn't any emotional breakdowns by any of its participants or observers. Might need to prepare some arguments in case that discussion happens.
Also gonna ask this in case you missed my comment about it: what exactly did you mean by "write-off"?

The phrase “write-off” is a colloquialism that means “to consider something to be a total and complete loss.” It meant in context that the entire venture and all commentary on it would just be dismissed as a waste of time and keystrokes, and thought of no further

I thought the opposite, actually.
I said the nickname, then you pointed out the possibility of Pony-changelings hybrids.
I think I've already used it before.

Nah, I was just referring to how you had managed to come up with probably the best nickname for changelings I have seen yet.

Silver takes a look at the brief description of The Synthetic Mares of the Moon on the back cover. A part of the larger Non Starter series, the book centers on the moonstrider warrior Vir Doge, who, along with Non Starter, seeks out a scientist by the name of Rad Thaddeus. They find that Thaddeus is residing in the ruined city of Mobius, where he has constructed an army of incredible synthetic moonmares, the Ponen. The Ponen have since taken control, and are forcing Thaddeus to help them contruct an army for conquest of the moon. Vir Doge and Starter are both captured, and Vir Doge's brain is transferred to synthetic construct of its own, frustrating a budding romance with another captive. Eventually, they are able to escape back to the civilization of Ulthar, and firebomb Mobius and its Ponen.

Just reading that is enough to make Silver's eyes spin. He puts it back to see what "Grogar the Barbarian" is all about, hoping that it will seem less confusing.

Silver has stars in his eyes upon seeing this series. He decides that he'll buy the first one in the series for White Orchid to try out, and if he like it, he'll buy him the rest.

Fiction can only hope to be as interesting as history.
Anyways, if the rest of the items on Silver's list have been taken care of, I think he's ready to meet back up with the colts at the register(s).

A fairly mundane set of items, except.... Mint Marine has taken the opportunity to acquire snorkeling gear, a full model sailboat, a lantern, a set of what looks like a Lincoln Log frontier fort, a net in a sort of butterfly catcher, and a toy dinosaur. White Orchid has gone even further, selecting what seems to be an entire tent, winter mittens, a cap gun, a cap gun if a different model, a toy sword, a swashbuckling toy sword, a toy EMD6 locomotive, another set of toy train cars, a toy switching post and basically a number of toy railroad items that only make sense if you already own a toy train set, a group of building blocks that click together, a toy soldiers of both ponies and changelings, a toy day gun, two different models of toy hats, and a cylindrical rocket-shaker toy spaceship

Silver probably should have expected this, but it's still enough to cause his eyes to go the size of dinner plates. He decides to voice the two most pressing questions, first: "How are you two going to carry all of that back?", and "Where are you two going to store all of that?"

They look back at him with pleading eyes that say “if we can carry the heavy burden of our suffering and growing up without families, then surely we can handle the weight of a few toys.”
But more realistically Silver will need to carry most of it for them
“We were hoping you could help us with that...”

Hopefully the Starryboi business will give him some dosh.

Silver sighs. This is going to be a bad day for his body as well as his mind. "I have no idea where you will store it, but...let us see how much this all costs, at least."

That's...actually doable. Although Silver questions why this toy store has such a massive selection, his sanity is at a weak enough state where he just goes along with it. He pays for it with 200 in paper notes, asking for his change to be in coins.

Clearly Silver has not been to the Shenanigans toy store before. The diamond dog cashier is a little irritated to be handed script, but returns one 20 bit note and 13 bits in change

Silver offers an apology for his current lack of actual coins. He knows how much diamond dogs like their shinies.
With that, Silver gathers up what the colts can't carry. They certainly do have a load of possessions, now, a lot related to their particular interests, at that. "You both certainly found plenty of things to buy in store, here."

Silver smiles at the apparent turn-around in their mood. "Well then, consider this my treat. Oh, and take these. I almost forgot to give these to you." Silver gives Mint the candy bar he bought, and he gives Orchid the bag of gummy candies.

The little ponies wrestle the candies with their hooves and tear them apart with their mouths, until soon enough Mint Marine looks as if his muzzle fell into mud, and White Orchid chews with yellow, green, and red gummies hanging from his mouth

Silver feels just a little bit more life inside of him after that. "Hmm. Well, give me minute to look through bags for something." Silver does exactly that, stopping to take a look through his saddlebags for any more napkins he has left over. He might need to invest in some more after this.

Among other things that will need to be coordinated

Shouldn't be that difficult. Dark Star knows where Silver is going to be, and he's on right now.
Silver looks to the two colts as they approach the orphange. "Thank you for going out on this little galivant with me. I had fun."

There's always using the big ass wagon to hide her.
Bluff your way into avoiding the search or at least minimize it, then you cross the border with her to get that sweet victory royale.
Maybe some XP, too.

We would have to cross three times then. Once to get to where she is, once back to her sister, and once more to continue the quest. That would raise the alert to us pretty fast.
