This week, in "Occupied Equestria":
Wondering through through the Changeling lands at night on the road between Bales and Whinnyapolis, Onyx, Brie, and Spark have stumbled upon a set of farm ponies trying to hide their cattle in the forest, away from their changeling occupiers. While rescuing a cow, Onyx and Brie have taken heavy damage, and so they followed them to the cabin of a local woodspony. But they found the woodspony and a farmer replaced by changelings, and after a skirmish are alone and wounded in the cabin in the woods.
Over in Baltimare, Dark Star has decided to give up his life as Dark Star, the Earth Pony farm colt, to become Tyrel Jackson, or "Gold Chains," a zebra and aspiring rap artist. Through the magic of Valmorification, it is possible. Iron is freaking out after possibly having received a message from God herself. That, and his usual social awkwardness. Silver is cashing out on a long standing set of projects, and is readying himself for the next phase

I apologize if I seem abnormally absent. I've been helping my mom out while she recovers.
Silver smiles at her. "There were also plenty of museums dedicated to our history and those who made it. There was class trip we would always take every year when I was in school to learn about history of Severyana. Art, music, writing, poetry, philosophy. But what we really focused on were great leaders from our past: from Grand Prince Terrible Ice, who made first attempt to unite Northern Ponies under one banne, and was known for his contributions to art and culture, to Empress Catherine the Great, who helped build Severyana into empire to rival even Equestria, even forming colonies of our own in Vedina. And so many others, from our earliest days, all way to very last leader of free Severyana."

Silver shakes his head. "We had our own fair share of them, and we took pride in history and culture those ponies helped to make. Or, at least, we used to. I will admit, it has been while, and I am not so good with philosophy, so much of what I have learned has been forgotten...but that history, that I will carry with me forever."

“They emphasized philosophy. I liked Aristotle especially. But the history.... I can understand that. Xenophron and Leoneighdus...”

“Yes.... Yes.... Yes it is. It makes you feel like it’s not just you. Like you are a part of something even bigger that connects to those around you. Like you have actually been alive for centuries. Accomplished great things. Like you will live on even if you die...”

Silver smiles at her. "There really is little that is worth more than ensuring you leave impact on story of this world, and of your people. Knowing that even if you may die, those you knew, loved, and left behind: they would carry your story on. There is no better way to achieve immortality."

She is starry eyed for a moment, staring off into the distance. Then she says
“Well... we have a job to do... better get back”

Silver nods, understanding but still privately a little disappointed. He releases his pegasus-shaped pillow and sits up. "I genuinely enjoyed that discussion, Blue. We should do that again some other time, when we are not so busy."

"I have no idea aside from both of them getting angry at eachother from recent events and Silver trying to fix it. Door is quite thin, so you may hear what is happening."

“Well, Silver and I got in a fight, and he wanted to make up. We were outside, but the ground was icky and I wanted to sit down, and it was cold outside, so we went to his room. We talked briefly about our foalhoods and the like. It was a way of working things out before we left tonight

Midnight Lily visited the Baltimare police department asking about joining for part time work Maybe. Or something like that. They told her that they do not take part time employees and the certification process takes months, but they referred her to the Civilian Governate, as they accept part time work. She went to the Celestial Gulf Insurance building in Downtown, the new building of the Governate, where they were already closing for the day. They said that they were indeed looking for help and referred her to the Security Department. They mentioned a number of tasks that were needed and referred her to Investigations, who referred her to Immigration about a specific task they needed help for. They told her that the specific task in question had actually been outsourced to the Black Hooves. So she went down to the Grand Baltimare Hotel about 6 blocks away, which actually (conveniently) stays open later. There, she talked to a receptionist, who referred her to recruitment, who said that somepony had actually already taken that, and left Midnight Lily alone for a period of about five minutes as he rushed in and about and looked through files in his office. Eventually, he said that a pony known as "Blue Skies" was actually leaving on it that night.
Fuck. Not great Luck. But she's come this far, so why give up now. She asks him where her office is, and she goes there. But she's not there. So she asks some ponies where she can be found. A receptionist has met her but doesn't know her. A guard knows her but hold his tongue. Eventually, some minotaur guy with a submachine gun in the lobby says
"Yeah, she has this new deputy. I think she tries to organize helpers at the East Side Tavern"
So she heads there in the hope she is there, and thankfully Midnight Lily knows the area well enough to get there... after asking directions only once.
Eventually, she comes upon the tavern, a brick building of two floors with a brownish facade on the first floor, and that is on the corner of a small block. She goes through the front door and.... let's see. A grey pony at the table. A pair of unicorns in the back, looks like a couple. Then sitting in a booth near the door, a dark Grey Earth Pony, a light grey Earth Pony, a dark red Earth Pony with black mane, and a really light blue pegasus with darker blue mane. That's... that might be her? Seems closest to the description. Well, this job ain't going to take itself, so best try her luck

The mare had her back turned to the Bat Pony. Then when she says that, the pegasus turns her face to her, and gives an expression of shear surprise. Then she turns her whole body towards her, and gives an uncertain look
"Yes... I am she. Who is asking?"

The mare looks up and down the bat pony, examining her general appearence, demeanor, and everything. She herslef seems as if she feels weird, and certainly was not expecting this. Her coat looks like its been washed soft, and her mane washed to the softness of silk. Like she's trying a bit too hard to look pretty. Her mane cut is midway between feminine and butch, slightly tomboyish at medium length. Simple and straight. Her cutie mark is a sword... or knife? Anyways, its between a pair of golden Pegasus wings. She is wearing nothing, literally nothing, although a bag and a jacket that maybe belong to her are lying in the booth
"So you did... Is this for 33 Hoebuck?"
Also, sense motive

Iron keeps silent, of course.
He doesn't want to screw the pooch again, unless it's mission talking time to offer Cauldron's potions at a price.

At this point, she becomes a little more comfortable
"Yes... 33 Hoebuck... Do you know the essential information. We were intending to do at least a probe tonight."

"I know, right? They look really freaky to me... We didn't have those in the Riverlands...

She slowly turns her head towards Dark Star with unblinking eye.
"And what, pray tell, is so wrong with bats?"
If she's angry it doesn't show it, instead seeming curious.

Silver trots over to Iron with a question on his mind. "Iron, do you think we might be able to recruit Cauldron along for this mission? We could use somepony with healing experience that goes beyond just patching wounds, and with her current situation she might have information or ties that would help us in our endeavor."

>>110860
"We might need some, but there are others we could make use of she might have access to. Potions to hide our tracks, make us invisible, or even make us temporarily smaller."

"If armor is involved, it means getting hurt. Potions are relevant when getting hurt, too."
>>110862
He turns to the batmare, smiling.
"Excellent. What sort of potions are you into: Many small ones or less of them with more healing potential?"
>>110865
He nods at Silver's suggestions.
"I think I have an idea of what they could cost, depending on the item offered. Any specific number of them?"

Iron is confused.
"Alright?"
>>110868
Iron jots it down mentally.
"You mean two of everything, even healing potions, or do you prefer some more in that category?"
>>110867
He hums.
"Silver, me and maybe you can take quite a beating, so I would recommend stronger potions for the three of us. Skies and Star can go for the lower end of potions since they should be less exposed to weaponsfire. Any number in particular you would wish to take? I suggest 3, just to ensure you never run out in the mission for a modest sum of 900 bits for the 3 pack. Sounds right to you? Less potent potions are 50 bits for each, but they heal less each."

"Oh do not worry. This is a group mission so we are going to help eachother out when paying, of course. Silver and Star should have some to help you out."
But he nods.
"Of course, it is your choice how much do you want to spend for safety. It is merely scouting after all."

"Two potions we would use to hide, per pony. I do not know about healing potions, exactly, but it sounds like you have that figured out."
>>110873
"Hmm. Well, we will see what it all costs when we arrive. I might be able to cover cost of your potions for you. It does us no good if one of us is less effective in mission due to lack of supplies."

"I would wager those would cost 300 bits each to make you invisible, but I am not sure if her repertoire includes it. The potions to make somepony small sound a bit easier to do, so I think it is 250 bits each."
He looks a bit giddy.
"So you want to go for 3 moderately strong potions then. Good to know."
>>110869
>>110871
He turns to the couple.
"Is this well for both of you? Same amount of less potent potions or do you want to get more out of the magic? Maybe more of the less powerful ones? Name it and I shall fetch it."
>>110878
He looks a bit confused.
"Does that mean you will buy some? Keep in mind you can customize your order to take out things you deem unnecessary. No need to be shy. It is to help ensure the sucess of our mission."

"It is important for all to be safe and equipped. A mission can fail for even the tiniest of mistakes. I suppose you do not want that to happen, do you?

>>110883
He nods.
"Excellent."
>>110884
He looks at Skies.
"Are you sure you do not want at least some health potions in case you get shot? They are merely 50 bits each, which should heal most of your health in your case as insurance. Simply one would be enough in your case, due to your dexterous nature."

"I suppose that can work, too."
Meanwhile, calculations are made.
(So 3 sets of 2 potions of Invisibility 600*3, 2 Pass without Trace [100*3 and 2 Shrink Person 600*3, as well as 2 sets of 3 Cure Moderate Wounds 900*2
and 3 Cure Light Wounds for Star 150. Deduct my buying and Cauldron would get... 2450 bits from the others. Decent numbers.)
He nods to himself.
(We'll see if the others maybe go for a little more.)

I have no idea. Maybe talking in Discord to either accept or reject this thing?
Perhaps this batponer is simply a throwaway so maybe GM thinks I may be taking advantage to get even more money from giving the poner who'll never appear again some potions she'll never use.

I am betting Skies will want Iron to have an escort in case they run off with the money, so you'll be a fallback. Don't be worried.

Aw fuck. I left it up for 3 hours and only when I decided I would delete it to leave some posting space I get responded to,
God dangit.
Ghost exorcism mission when?

Is it just me, or did they buff the hell out of the Jaki-Clan?

Does anypony want to play today?

I don’t know. I tried to play Yakyakistan once after the Brother’s Feud update. I found that fighting Jakistan required grinding with tiny infantry-only units as they had too many units to go around. I thought, “fuck that,” and never played it again

I am.
Iron is currently asking Skies again if she at least wants to buy a small Cure Light Wounds potion as insurance, while awaiting the Batponer 2.0's response to his insistence of at least buying something for herself.

I'm always up for it.
Used to be I'd never see them win the Brothers' Feud. Now Yakyakistan can't win for crap.

If by “buy,” you mean, “receive for free” then yes.

Any country that requires a war advancing little 6 width infantry only divisions with no hope of going around the enemy is hardly worth playing. It’s boring as hell placing the game on five speed and watching the green arrow stay the sane for half a minute, just to go back to red, all the while watching your infantry equipment deficit slowly grow.
The New Mareland MARESOC path is ruined for that reason, despite it being the funniest meme focus tree in the entire mod. There is no way to do it anymore without doing the civil war. And fuck that civil war. You can’t even get around it with console commands. Harmonic Changelings is kind of close to being on the same level, but at least their is room to maneuver. Most of the Equestrian Civil war states avoid this problem, but fighting Aztlan as the Disciples... it’s a pain in the ass

Iron smiles.
"Very well. I will add your trying run order into the list."
(An extra 50 for Cauldron still. Maybe she will like it.)

Iron nods.
"Yes. Magic in a bottle is not cheap. It seems to be the standard on the market, as far as I know."
He points at Silver's horn.
"Seeing how Silver does not have the capacity of do most of the potions on offer while having the tools to do so, I would say it is quite the time consuming and draining process for the average unicorn."

Where did everypony go? Anyways, I intend to get the final part of the dossier out tonight, and then once all preparations are done, the actual quest can begin
>>110949
Iron is confused about Skies' current feelings.
(Did she agree to pay for anything or my lack of bit pouch threw her off?)

Silver sighs after a couple silent seconds, not entirely believing him, but placing a big roll of notes in Iron's hoof totalling 3,050 Bits anyways. "No pouch, sorry."

"Sure.... there will totally be plenty of money in an abandoned church, a sweatshop and an old jail..."
"Sure.... there will totally be plenty of money in an abandoned church, a sweatshop and an old jail..."
>>110953
He nods.
"Total is now reduced to 2450 bits."
>>110954
Iron, hearing Dark Star's claim, takes off 600 bits and passes it back to Silver, incredulous, taking the rest.
"If you say so, Silver."
>>110956
Iron is a bit deflated, but nevertheless is confident about his claims.
"I have a feeling."
He extends his neck upwards.
"Well! I have the money, now I got to pass it to the potion maker."
He stands up.
"Should we meet up here again and start the mission from here or do I join up at the mission location?"
He nods.

Iron is a bit uneasy.
"The meet up point is going to be a bit crowded with everypony."
(Aside from letting Cauldron see Skies and possibly recognizing her, maybe.)
But he points a hoof.
"I can let one of you come with, if you want to."
Feel free to insist if it's what everyone wants to do, including Ancaper.

"It would be far faster, easier, and simpler to keep everypony together. And, since we are counting on these potions, it would be nice to meet zebra making them."

Iron hums in thought.
"I cannot. It would look too suspicious to get 6 ponies crowding a random zebra. You can come with, since your word is basically gospel, then we go back to this bar with the goods. Too many ponies at once could spook her into hiding."
He extends a hoof.
"What do you say, Silver?"
>>110963
I think he did some posts ago.
>>110965
Forgive me Sir Ancapon for my rude behaviour.
He nods.
"You can stay here."
>>110966
Knowing Skies isn't exactly a paragon of virtue, he simply looks at her knowingly.
"I do not blame you. None of them have wings as far as I know."
He chuckles.
"But she is worth it in my eyes."
>>110967
He shakes his head.

He smiles.
"Excellent. You can carry your end of the money, then."
With that, the 2450 bits are passed back to Silver.
"Keep it safe."
He stands up, gesturing Silver to follow.
>>110970
Iron smiles, and says without a hint of irony.
"Good. You can compare wings with Skies while we are gone. She likes flying and wings."
He smiles.

Skies rubs herself against Dark Star
"You could get me something..."
>>110968
Skies looks at Iron, still not quite understanding, but sort of backing off. She is hanging onto Dark Star, who entirely looks like a zebra
>>110972
Skies pulls out a single wing with her right foreleg, though her leg is not long enough to stretch it out all the way. As if to say "I win"

That is quite the distance to travel. Silver looks at the building they enter. "Hmm...I think I have been here, before."

Well yeah.
Iron stares at the building.
"Oh it is. A good thing she told me how to get here from the tavern or I would have been lost."
>>110973
He enters the building without worry.
(I wonder if she will appear right behind me or I should ask the barkeep for an audience with her because of the horned fellow. We shall see.)

From the outside, the Watering Hole is a wooden two story building in the center of a block of buildings, with several windows on the upper level and at least one boarded up, and a wooden patio roof that extends out from between the second floor and the first covering the entrance and the area closest to the building, and is propped up by a few wooden timbers. The door is partly open, and from within the simple unpainted wooden structure, a loud noise of music exudes - is that that dreadful Jazz - and a bussel of creatures comes in, out, and hangs around in the bar, talking loudly. Mostly ponies, with some other creatures. Going inside it is even louder and livelier, with a live band playing somewhere over in the back. There is a large, burly Diamond Dog with a spiked collar on his neck, drinking a big mug of beer alongside some spotted grey and black earth pony with spiked hair
No Cauldron yet
>>110982
Skies scrunches her nose, and raises her wings in full from tip to tip. Glorious Azure White Feathers that have some kind of oil or conditioner placed on them very recently
>>110975
That would explain why the two can't stand each other...

He gleefully takes in the admittedly more advanced music in store for him, slightly walking on the beat.
"Is this what it is called? Some exotic name."
He ponders for a bit.
(I think I have seen those two before.)
He approaches the Diamond and Pony duo, turning stoic.
"Have you seen Black Cauldron around?"

The Pony and the Diamond Dog turn around, and look almost offended that Iron would come up to them
"Who are you, native?" asks the large, burly diamond dog in a voice that seems to belong to smaller creature
>>110989
Skies looks back at the web-winged pony with her wings still spread proudly, tilts her head down slightly, then gives a grin that seems a bit malign
"Is biting the beginning of Courtship for you night ponies?"
>>110990
Uh.... which weapon shop does Dark Star shop at?

Without skipping a beat, he answers with a still face.
"Iron."
(Seems they do not know me. I may have inadvertendly entered into a fight, unless word spread around of my deeds as a criminal or they know a pony who saw me and all that.)
