Occupied Equestria - Into No Pony's Land
Anonymous
KnZni
?
No.103001
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

The expected ripples caused by the contact between Iron's snoot and Cauldron's hoof makes the victim recoil back, to the point he falls on his back with all legs extended upwards.
To add some more dramatic effect, he lets out his tongue to cement his defeat.

“In frame of mind and actions, indeed they are. But do not expect them to be simple pushovers. They can be clever and well armed. Mind you, we do not know exactly what activities are going on. Perhaps creatures pay the traffickers to be smuggled in. Perhaps they are Shanghai’ed and sold into Slavs labor. Or maybe they are charge to immigrate, and those that cannot pay their debt are made into indentured servants. The whole neighborhood is in a way separate from the city. Baltimare s Police seldom patrol there, and the area is a no-go-zone for our Territorials. We did not mind so long as the trouble did not spill out. But with the recent complaint by Manehattan, and the sightings of Griffins in Hayseed and the Jungles, we cannot ignore it forever.”

At the very least, Silver has found the foal that would take the greater liking to Dark Star. Meanwhile, Mint's speech has done little, if anything, to change Silver's expression. "Unnatural evil, like calling for wholesale extermination of entire sapient species? Killing families? Foals?" He stands up. "What that stallion, what those stallions did, that is true evil, and even if we will never fully remove it from this world we will be damned if we will not struggle against it. But as for changelings...only evil I hear about them right now is coming from you. You can not solve this problem with genocide, just as Chrysalis can not solve this problem with subjugation."

Mint Marine lifts a hoof, placed it down only an inch from where he picked it up, then turns lightly to the right, and lays down in place. He folds his forelegs over his muzzle and eyes, and starts crying in place

A passing mare stares at the scene, but continues waking by, staring

White Orchid speaks, but with a detached voice. He is sitting down, head partly crouched down. His eyes look like they are focused on some sight a half mile away, even as they are aimed at the ground fifteen feet in front of him

Internally, Silver wonders what else besides the two EXTREMELY obvious meanings Mint could have had. Externally, Silver is faced with the realization that he wasn't very good with dealing with this level of emotional trauma in the first place. From what little he does know, he tries to keep the colts' focus in the real world by clicking a hoof against the ground and speaking in a resonating voice. Or at least, as resonating as he can manage with his still-recovering throat. "Little ones."

Where in the hell did a friendly visit to the zoo and a conversation about vampires turn into this?

"Yes. Be advised that although Comte deserves to be taken to a ditch and shot for the crime of being an elected Social Democrat alone, that will not happen in this case. No. Shooting is too clean. It removes the stain, out of sight, out of mind. That would be good for the social liberals, great even for the social liberals, but no good for Baltimare as a whole. Rather, the public must see every detail. Every gruesome detail of what a loosening of social mores inexorably leads to. Comte and his associates will be given a fair and very public trial. And in that trial, which will be performed to the T by the procedures of Equestrian Common Law, Equestrian society will understand that it isn't really Comte who is on trial, or even the Social Democrats, or Liberalism as an idea - a horrible, Griffin invented idea. It is the Public who will be on trial. They will be on trial for allowing ponies like this to govern over them for so long. And thus we might even ask you to protect Comte from any assassins who will try to kill him before he has the chance to dominate the newspapers for the next several months... before he has the chance to talk about his associates"

White Orchid moves his head slightly over towards Silver's direction. An ear flops down briefly, but his eyes move towards Silver. They do not focus on Silver, but rather somewhere far behind him.

Mint Marine does not move, laying his belly and muzzle firmly on the ground, his ears down, and his forelegs crossed over his face as he sobs.

It's alright. In this case it's nothing that would be your fault, I think. Best way I can describe it is that I'm pretty sure I have some sort of ADD, but I might be self-misdiagnosing. There's just some things I get bored of and lose interest, especially if I'm feeling like I'm stuck somewhere or I'm not making any progress. Like I said, I would love to go through the entire zoo with the colts and give them a great day out, but...ugh. And in more practical terms, I still need to finish Blue's job, and Star is both asking after me and wants to visit the colts, himself.

It is not much, but I hope this will help, even if only little bit. While the colts (presumably) look around the store, Silver gets to work looking around the store for some things to get the pair: in particular, for each of them he wants a blanket, a stuffed animal, and a book (fantasy for White Orchid, nonfiction about marine life for Mint Marine), for Mint Marine he wants a marine animal toy and a toy boat, and for White Orchid he wants a toy train and a set of building blocks. He's not sure how well he'll be able to manage, but he tries his best to look. He also looks for a candy bar for Mint Marine, and a bag of gummy candies for White Orchid.

The blankets should probably be comfort blankets, or the closest period-appropriate equivalent. You know, something that would feel like the blankets are giving them a hug. The stuffed animal for Mint I'm thinking should be something like a turtle, while for Orchid it should be something like a manticore. And as for White Orchid's fantasy book, I'm thinking something along the lines of "a brave hero goes on an adventure to slay the monster and save the town".

Well, there are indeed stuffed Turtles, as well as a Dragon, an Ursa, a Dolphin, some sort of dragon-octopus cross, a Seapony... maybe a manticore. Blankets include very fluffy, thin, quilted, and normal.

The various fantasy books include "To Where and Back Again," "Grogar the Barbarian," "Last Horizons," "The Once and Future Princess," The "Spring of the Unicorn," and so forth

It tells the story of Ulta Valor, a Unicorn of Pleasant Valley whose herd is oppressed by Vikings, whose taxation and exactions are so severe that the ponies are thrown out of their lands. Ulta joins the Crystal resistance, but is ultimately defeated, and captured and enslaved by the Corsairs of the Southern Islands. Through a series of trials and tribulations, he eventually earns his freedom, learns tactics and strategy, and leads a fight to drive the Vikings out of Pleasant Valley

Honestly, I don't think she'll like the idea of being escorted by the ponies who are taking part of the history with them, so unless she tries to run up and stick with us, we're probably not going to fetch her.
However, if she does decide to sit with us after Iron does the "I is dead from boop" scene and we rest for a bit more without saying much, maybe she'll ask and we say "I suppose I did say I'd do that," and then we would take her.
Tl;Dr Iron would need Pear's confirmation to be escorted back to civilization, otherwise he'll leave her behind assuming she does not want to be escorted by the pony who's using history for his own gains.

In short: My entire side of that scene was predicated on the idea that the discussion was about changelings, and only changelings. Had I known the discussion was more about Comte and what he did, it would have gone much more smoothly. As it is, I am a rather literal person who likes it when people say what they mean outright.
Outside of that, my only comment would be that that entire scene was draining.

Do not be afraid of doing something bad to our characters when we step up to do something we think will succeed just to be proven wrong. Otherwise you'll have to write off almost every action anyone will make.
Also be careful of selective write-offs or the ones you don't save will be frustrated and envious.

I have no idea what you mean by "write-off", here.

Basically, the whole thing didn't happen and it resets back into Mint talking about bats == vampires or even further back where Mint does not say that.
