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

Wait, so the artist is a she now?
Iron follows suit, nodding.
"What about the shift you mentioned? You mean in your family's restaurant?"

"Ah, so you only work there periodically when one of the ponies he hired are not available?"

“Potion making. There’s more complexity to it. More artistry. More science. More precise measuring abs compounds too expensive to mess up a batch, and more reward from making a successful potion. But I don’t discount cooking either. It too, has an art to it, and a feeling of making something good.”

“What did the stallion tell you? I’ve heard from Blue Skies, but not from you.”

Iron smiles.
"Your food is enough testament to that."
He unfocuses his gaze on Cauldron.
"Would you like to do potion making as your job?"

“It’s far from surprising. The Baltimare police system has been corrupt for some time. Mayor Larry Berry was just below the Chief of Police before he was voted in to replace High Tower, who resigned in a scandal. The police have been taking many bribes, and generally tolerate organized crime where it doesn’t kill anyone or overstep its bounds. They think that the gangs can’t really be stopped, and fighting them will cause violence, so they let them continue practices like loan snarking. That may have been what you stumbled in on. But there is more to it than that. More recently, the gangs have taken a role in supporting partisans, mostly by means of weapon smuggling. We don’t know the exact field of relationships between the Baltimare Social Democrats, the gangs, and the left wing partisans, but we have reason to believe it is more than nothing.”

Blinking multiple times, he nods, smiling.
"With this amount of money, you can definitely afford to make potions as your job."

"The potential of potion making should make dealing with these issues simple. You only need to showcase the benefits of the potions to skyrocket your work."
He pokes his chin.
"Maybe give out potions to increase someone's ability to think, spot and other enhancements to the body. That would surely be useful, and profitable."

This makes Sea Breeze laugh, and he closes his eyes and leans down, until he leans down to a position that must hurt his old wounds. He composes himself, and sits up, all in the span of a few seconds
“I think you may misunderstand our directives. The Caretaker government’s purpose, above all else, is to achieve stability in the lands under its control, with secondary goals of providing raw materials and exactions for metropolitan New Mareland. We have sought stability by leaving continuity in the government and society of the administered territories, even by allowing democratic elections and letting officials stay in power who would not be acceptable under different circumstances. I understand that you wish the rot in your homelands to be pulled out by the root, but unfortunately the Caretaker government is not able to do that with our current directives and resources.”

Iron simply smiles back.
"You know I am going to accept your request. We always stick together."
Another wrap of the foreleg on Cauldron's neck.
"We are the dynamic duo!"

“Dark Star, I understand your frustrations. I do not want to see Equestrian society, nor any part of Faustian Civilization fall into its Long Night. But the rot is very deeply rooted here, and the ponies will likely be resistant to, or perhaps even appalled by, the measures necessary to eliminate the decay in society. Imagine you have a home where terminates have eaten away at every wall. Imagine you have a family living there who cannot go away, even for a weekend. How do you fix the problem? It is going to take some time at least, and perhaps a change in the overall situation before a full change is possible.”
He pauses, then continues,
“Look at it this way. So long as the caretaker government is in power here, the situation cannot deteriorate much. The Griffins are held at bay, the Communists are kept out, the worst excesses of International Capitalism are held in check, the Changelings-“
“Hegemony,” Blue Skies interrupts
Sea Breeze gives her a condemning glance, but does not stop speaking “are kept from dominating Free Equestria, and the worst parts of social liberalization are also kept from their terrible advancement. So long as the Caretaker government reigns, Baltimare May be saved from its Long Night”

“Everything. It’s like gardening, always tending to something. There’s investigating attacks upon the military, investigating tips about partisan activities or espionage, cultivating community watch programs, talking to locals, setting up sting operations for local government officials believed to be corrupt, investigating the loyalty of territorial soldiers, surveilling areas, taking part in raids, and so forth. There are a few tasks for the civilian government as well that may be necessary.”

Iron barely boops the zebra mare next to him.
"Do not act silly. You were definitely thinking something."

"You said 'nevermind' just a second ago."
Iron squints his eyes in mock determination.
"And I will find out what you meant."
