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

Iron would rather not get into another fight by all of that borderline love confession vibes over there with the polyamorous pegasus and her tools making him slightly ill, so he proceeds to go sit back down with Dark Star and hope they don't start shagging in public.

Silver knows how futile that belief is firsthoof. This path you trot, vengence: you will find no peace in it. I know.
"I could sit here for eternity, just you and I..." He sighs. "I do wish we did not have to part just yet."

With this, a slight joe comes into her eyes. A malign hope. Her mouth opens ever so slightly
Many mares would ask “why me? What seems so good about me?” But not Skies. She sees no point in looking a gift horse in the mouth

Is she trying to go in for the kiss or something?
Silver smiles from this (mostly) pleasant change in mood. With a forehoof, he wipes Skies' bangs out of the way of her face to get a good look at her.

A long snoot, with medium grey skin, azure white coat that has been shampooed into feeling like a teddy bear, a straight mane of medium length that has never really been styled, and two big, almost shiny turquoise eyes that can look jade under some lighting conditions. All with an unsettling smile

So little flair to your response, too.

I'll call your bluff.

He obviously spot the duo again, knowing they're going for shagging and are still there.
(She will get what she deserves later.)
"Try to keep quiet, you two. I expect you do not want Star to know~"
He inmediately walks out, leaving them behind and actually go outside.
(As for me, I have to test my fate after all of this.)

Oddly enough, the lack of shagging on Silver's mind makes him confused about this statement. "Uh...thanks?"
>>110689
"Right this way." Silver leads the way to his tavern room. It's quite apparent that Silver needs some new type of storage solution, considering how she sees the addition of the supplies he bought but didn't use today. "I apologize for mess. I do not have much space to store it all." At least the bed is clear for the ponies to sit on.

"I just wanted quiet moment together, little bit like what we were just doing. Except, now we are in more comfortable conditions." Silver sits down on the bed and pats next to him as an invitation to sit.

Iron feels the chills.
(They know it is time for judgement.)
Naturally, he scouts out a big building to jumpp off of. He must know if he is actually meant to keep going after all this self-inflicted pain he received.

"...okay, slightly more comfortable conditions. It is certainly not as nice as your room at Grand Baltimare Hotel, at at least we are out of cold and yuck."
He turns to face her and opens his forelegs to her in an offer of a hug, similar to how they were before they arrived here.

And Silver is happy to warm her up with the excess of floof he has. He lays back into the bed until they're effectively in a cuddling position, with Blue as the little spoon. "As nice as living only few feet from bar is, I think having actual place to live with nice bedroom, excellent bathroom, and proper kitchen would be better." He gives the soft pegasus he's holding a squeeze. "Are you sure you have no idea what housing costs in city?"

Sadly not enough.
He must go further.
Perhaps it can be done by doing some very risky stuff and if he survives, he solidifies his role as needed, but the job he's being offered is going nowhere.
He smiles madly.
(Maybe I could vandalize that rich neighborhood where Comte was again and see how far I can take it. That could be fun. Should be easy to follow since I traveled to it from that tavern.)

"What is there to say? Tall, grass covered mountains. Playing with my old classmates in flower covered meadows. The hard faces on the citizen soldiers as they come back from maneuvers..."

"It sounds as lovely as always." He rests the bottom of his chin on the top of Blue's head. The quiet sound of his breathing is clear to the little spoon pegasus, who can feel his chest rise and fall like clockwork. "But you do not have any other stories to share?"

While he remains silent, she can feel him nod after a second. While she continues to be cuddled he begins to contemplate certain subjects that have been on his mind, the first that comes being that of Comte and what he was allowed to do.

Yes, very pleasant, I know. It doesn't take long for Silver to pose a question he's been meaning to ask her: "Blue, if you were giant, as in tallest giant that ever existed, and your legs began to rot out from under you, how long would it take your head to realize?"

That actually gets a laugh out of him. "Fair enough..." He takes it as a sign to change mental tracks, with him now appreciating the mare he's cuddling with now. "If you are anything to go off of, I think I might have to try this 'spa' thing, myself. Wow, you are soft..."

Silver moves a round a little to give her the space needed for the stretching. "Well, perhaps on quiet day, we could go through spa together, partake in all of their services? You could show me first-hoof what it is all like." After a couple seconds, he adds: "I would buy, of course."

Silver would certainly hope so. He continues to revel in being in her presence, and the nice, quiet, calm atmosphere around them. Everything is right with the world, in this moment. "I already can not wait, I must admit...perhaps if everything goes smoothly tomorrow, we might get chance to, then."

Silver nods, finding no reason not to. "It was nice place. It was cool, clean. Soil would always feel cool and moist beneath your hooves, regardless of trotting along dirt roads in city or trekking across forests or meadows. In summer you could watch wheat fields sway in breeze coming from Middle Sea, and ponies would trot between towns to trade or work, or take train or take boat ride down river. In winter you would not see too many ponies outside as it was too cold, and you could not grow crops because ground itself would often freeze solid, but there was enchanting stillness about world at those times. Ancient forests of tall conifers, and pleasant meadows of flowers would be spread throughout countryside, only broken by occasional hill or marsh.
"In Petershoof, there was such variation between new and old parts of city that trotting from Docks, to Market, to Old Town, it felt like travelling between different cities. New buildings would be made of brick and mortar, but old were made of stone, timber, and thatch. In Old Town, especially, each building felt like it was part of some storied past of my people, with each having its own history. My father's smithy was in Old Town, but it was close enough to Market that travelling there was no hassle at all. Sometimes, when my father let me go for day, I would wander to Market and see what all different types of goods and toys they would have for sale in market stalls, both made in Severyana and from abroad, or I would go and visit travelling performers that would always be set up in market square. Even when there were none, there were always plenty of cabaret shows, theaters, orchestras, plays, and other displays of our culture around city. Most colts I would hang out with would try to sneak into cabaret showings to see dancing mares, but I always liked comedians they would have in cabaret, or magic shows. Then you had beautiful Orthodox churches, with their great domes of stone and bronze, and by Docks you could visit Peter and Pony Fortress, where Peter the Great himself layed first bricks of his city."

Iron suddenly gets this crazy idea: If he failed so hard and consecutively now, then he can't go lower than he currently is. Ergo, immense confidence boost.
(I think I can go see Cauldron now.)
Hustling in a jog pace, he trots back to Cauldron's apartment, like a big boulder rolling down a steep hill persecuting a careless explorer who set off the trap.

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."

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

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.

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."

Skies whispers into Dark Star's ears
"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.

"I was able to read a copy of the dossier. I just hope my assets can be well used."
Her bat ears twitch, though she shows no sign of hearing Skies.

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."

"I heard, but thank you. It is nice to have another member of team, especially one as well-mannered as yourself."
>>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."

Iron deadpans at Skies.
"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."

Iron nods, smiling.
"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."
Iron nods, smiling.

"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."

Iron shakes his head, smiling.
"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? Keep in mind, the others are always eager to help a fellow companion out. No strings attached. No need to be repaid in any alloted amount of time at all."
>>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."
Iron shakes his head, smiling.

He chuckles.
"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.)

He looks at the other two ponies who haven't decided on buying anything.
"Alright. I have most of the orders ready. Are you absolutely sure you do not want anything at all? Every potion count to increase our chances of a successful mission."

Disclaimer: You indeed can reject this offer. Iron is only making sure you are sure about not having any potions.
If, of course, the issue is related to accepting the potions.

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.
