Occupied Equestria - Into No Pony's Land
Anonymous

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

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

I'm scared of what Dark Star would do to the zebras.
Seeing how he could simply torch the entire ship to quell his thirst for vengeance.

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?

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.

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.

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...”

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.

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
