Occupied Equestria: Cabin in the Woods

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

The scene in front of Iron only serve as a grim reminder of what he may have given up because of prior actions.

She smiles and slightly laughs with a "heh," and says explicitly
"Do you really think I'm going to just let you get a look at my ass"
She says that almost pointlessly, as she immediately pulls herself a little aways from Dark Star, leans down, and thrusts her right flank up into the air where her rump is almost in Dark Star's face, and her flank is visible to Silver. She moves her tail far off to the side so her cutie mark can be seen. It's what looks like a combat knife or sword without a hilt, with a brown leather handle, a straight double blade, and golden wings going off to either side

Even with the surprise this action brings, Silver nods, appreciating the design of the sword upon her posterior. Pony magic has a knack for designing rather aesthetic weapons. "It looks like it would perfectly fit for daughter of Nimbusia like yourself. I can do that."

“It was during a test at my school. We were divided into teams for capture the flag in a wooded area. The other side took up a strong defensive position in a little building, and no pony in my group could get past them. I went off on my own, and I slipped past them. When I planted the flag down in our fort, it appeared on me. No pony knew how I had done it. You know, I was one of the last ponies in my class to get my cutie mark...”

“It’s not exhibitionism, Faust damn it, it was showing Silver my cutie mark. You are the one who wants to interpret it as ‘exhibitionism,’ which it patently was not. Trust me, if I wanted to be an exhbitionist, I can be an exhibitionist that is not what I was doing, you stupid, blind fuck. And unless you’re death too, I’ll repeat myself a seventh time - I was just showing my cutie mark to Silver and maybe a little bit of rump to Dark Star and nothing more. You are literally the only pony here who thinks it was anything more, and you are the only pony here with some phobia of mates that causes you to dislike it. And for the record, the ‘being disrespectful to Dark Star’ refers to your arrogant demand for a large payment before anything occurred on the docks. Not for anything that happened this night.”

He coughs a little.
"That is the problem, Skies. You did show your rump in front of Star and any bystanders who may have witnessed your lewd act, giving them a show. It is not equal to kisses and cuddles. You are intentionally arousing your coltfriend, presenting yourself to him to do any sort of actions to your rump, most of them lewd-oriented, I bet."
He stretches his forelegs out.
"If you feel like that is fine, I urge you to do it in front of a group of colts, or perhaps in front of any of your relatives. I bet they will not get the absurd ideas that I am getting from this."

“There’s nothing lewd about cutie marks. We’re fucking ponies. We’re naked, we have symbols on our butts that other ponies take interest in because it helps determine the division of labor in society, and they look at them.

Iron raises a hoof.
"One thing is simply showing your cutie mark. Another is actually aiming your hindquarters to another pony while doing it, planting it right on his face. It is one thing to be naked, it is another to explicitly move your tail aside for another pony to see your intimate parts. Do not try to hide your lewd nature with excuses of being naked. The tail is exactly under your privates to cover the parts that should not be shown to anypony and you moved them aside to let your coltfriend see what is under them. Stop trying to excuse your actions and stop doing them."

“No, the tail is moved out of the way of the cutie mark. Not out of the way of the genitalia. The cutie mark. Get it right. Second, I’m in a booth. A booth. There is a table in front of me, a wall behind me, Dark Star to my right, and open space to my left. To show my flank to Silver, across from me, I necessarily have to move either to the left, or to the right. If I move to the left, then any other pony in the bar could see my rump. If I move to the right, then it’s contained to Dark Star. So yes, there is literally no other good way to do it except to point my rear towards Dark Star. And Dark Star didn’t see shit because I moved my tail off my cutie mark, not my genitalia. You fucking pervert.

And further more, if I had shown my genitals - I didn’t, but bare with me here, this is a hypothetical - so what? Why should you care? Are you a homosexual? Why are you making out as if it is murder of a child?

Dark Star did not care, Silver did not care, and I moved my rear towards Dark Star specifically so no pony else in the bar could see anything should anything be exposed. You and you alone have some sort of perverse moral indignation towards this imaginary slight.

Now please, cease your insufferable bickering over some bullshit misinterpretation of perfectly innocent actions.”

"I might be wrong about the tail, and the booth you are in did not let you show your cutie mark without compromise, but we both know you did it with lewd intentions in mind. You could have shown the cutie mark later out of the booth, not presenting yourself 'innocently' to anypony and not get into this situation at all, but you did not. I know you had the thoughts before I spoiled your mood. I did try to let it go but instead you pushed me for it simply to justify your acts to me, which should not be necessary if you really believe what you say. After all, you could have simply let it go and let it rest since we are not more than a mare and a stallion working together. Why is my opinion on acts you do not share with me matter to you? You would not have done it in the mission at all. Now the table is silent because of our spat that led us nowhere, intimidated by our talk."

Oh shit, the bat!

While Brie has been resting in the cabin, Onyx and Spark have returned. Onyx looks a bit like pinkie pie in Yakkity Sax, drained of what little color he has. He carries not one, or two, but three separate ponies who look petrified and themselves drained. Spark follows behind with two changelings wearing military uniforms that are tattered, and at least one of them is burned. Both are wounded. Spark leads them off to a bedroom and locks the door.

There is a sticky note on Brie’s head that says “translator needed”

This is what happens when you leave the Spark Rock to it’s own devices

Onyx is pretty seriously wounded but bandaged, and greedily hogging the only supply of alcohol in the cabin, there is a fourth pony - a small bright red colt whose coat has thoroughly dulled - who is still about, and thankfully was kept away from the prisoners. There are two stallions and a mare laying on the ground on their backs, looking stiff and forelegs crosses over their chests, two of them with their eyes wide open. They are laid next to the fire. Spark has brought at least one bed into this room, evidently intending for every pony to sleep in there together. Meanwhile, the bedroom has been entirely surrendered to the prisoners, who speak only Wechselbalg

Outside, the full moon glows down, there is a slight, cold breeze, the ground is covered in snow and it’s not too far below freezing. The night is mostly quite besides some insect noises. Speaking of insect noises....

The car is parked unglamorously a bit diagonally, carelessly left to itself. There is a loud cicada like sound coming from it until Brie comes much closer. When Brie opens the door, there is nothing visible at first. Then from a shadow further in the cart, first Wesley in his Pegasus form, then Kerr in his bat pony form, come towards Brie at the open door of the cart, each abreast of the other. Both are shivering, and look cold and miserable

Well, brie leaves Spark to the bedroom while Kerr and Wesley sit by the fire, trying to regain heat.

Well, since Spark is a lost cause, he will try to fix this alone for now.

Spark searches the room for means to secure the bugs, in case they decide to escape or overtake the lone pony.

"Hey Onyx! Do you see any rope there? Also, has the bat woken up yet?"

Silver looks like he doesn't know anymore if he should order another drink for himself or hold out for the mission. The whiskey Dark Star is enjoying looks damn good right now to the unicorn.

"I don't know why you are in a bad mood. We might just have our ticket through the changeling patrols here. If they can provide maps of patrol patterns or maybe areas we can better slip through, we might just make it out of this place alive."
