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

>>109887His snout covered in snow, Wesley retorts
“Die Ponys haben uns dort eingesperrt”
Kerr rushes forward past Wesley, towards the heated building. He gives a retort if his own
“Das hilft nicht kaltblütig zu sein”
The little Pegasus and bat pony colt enter through the door of the cabin, and meet the dulled-grey Earth pony colt inside, who sees two new colts of around his age entering
“Hello. Who are you? Where did you come from?”
He looks past them and outside
“Is that your dog outside?”
The two little colts cannot respond, but Wesley smiles mutely and timidly, while Kerr has an expression midway between shock and annoyance
\r
>>109892The little colt looks past the colts outside, towards the car. A large black dog.... a lab, maybe - sniffs around the cart
>>109893"Wenn dies jemandes Hund ist, sagen Sie es jetzt"
>>109895Wesley:
”Dieser Hund ist schon eine Weile draußen und herum”
Kerr:
“Ich glaube, ich habe ihn in der Stadt gesehen. Ich weiß nicht, ob er uns gefolgt ist.”
The little colt is startled by this alien language
“What is going on? Why are you speaking like that?”
>>109896"Entspann dich, wir bringen ihn bald um"
"What are you talking about? Surely I don't need to remind you where you are?"
>>109898The little colt looks up, afraid and confused, and bites his lip. He either does not understand Brie, or understands him too well
“Uh. Uh. Okay....”
>>109899"Don't worry, you will overwhemingly not be harmed or maligned." Brie announces with an unconvincing smile
>>109902The colt gives Brie a scared look that implies that he is not wholly convinced of Brie’s claim. The other three ponies are still unconscious if they are alive, and Kerr and Wesley are already scurrying over to the fire, walking over the petrified bodies to place themselves closer.
Spark is missing from the room
>>109904>>109902"Hey! Be nicer to the kid"
>>109905"No clue"
>>109905Spark was seen removing himself from the room by placing himself in the room with the prisoner changelings. So Spark is either watching over them, is lying on the ground next to broken windows, or is being wrapped in silk
>>109907The colt looks over to Onyx, who he quickly runs towards, and sits himself beside the couch where onyx is laying
>>109907"What? I told them they wouldn't be harmed, what else should I say?"
>>109909Brie face-hoofs
"This really isn't the time to wander off on 'things',...."
>>109909Onyx looks at the colt and slowly blinks-
>>109910before looking at brie with a blank expression
>>109910What isn't trustworthy about Brie's smile?
Anyways, Spark is off in the bedroom. With the Changelings.
In the bedroom with the bugs>>109911The colt is staying next to Onyx in a way almost like a dog startled by New Years Eve fireworks. He looks up to Onyx
>>109912Brie is distracted. The bugs can have their way.
>Brie's SmileIndeed, there should be a RULE goddammit
>coltFine, he can be a scaredy pants
>>109912Onyx pats the colt's head before adrssing brie
>>109913"So, now what is you
master plan?"
>>109918"Oh yeah we're just gonna....
WE'RE GOING TO WHAT?" [3d20 = 38]>>109913Well, brie leaves Spark to the bedroom while Kerr and Wesley sit by the fire, trying to regain heat.
>>109915Poner's head is pat
He doesn't feel too cold, but his ears go down a little, as he is relieved
>>109919"Did I stutter? Its perfect. On the one hand we draw resources to us, on the other hand we bolster the resources we have. What's the problem?"
>>109923"For one, I am NOT staying here that long"
>>109924"Neither am I, this is a venture for when we're back in Baltimare"
>>109925"I guess that's a relief. But seriously? an orphanage?"
>>109926"Yes, an orphanage." Brie gives slight emphasis as though it should be obvious.
>>109921>>109913>the bugs can have their wayWell, 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.
>>109930I mean.... bedsheets? There might be rope in the other room
>>109933Dark Star drinks his whiskey
>>109933Darn it.
Spark thinks for a moment.
>>109926Spark opens the door for a moment, just enough to communicate.
"Hey Onyx! Do you see any rope there? Also, has the bat woken up yet?"
>>109938"What the hell did you ponies do?!?"
>>109938"Negative, but the bat is up"
>>109936Silver 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.
>>109942"Want another? im buying."
>>109942>>109936Skies takes another sip of her hopefully new drink
Then she asks
“What will you do if they only congregate tonight?”
>>109940"Just because you are a bat doesn't mean you can exclude yourself from pony kind when it is convenient. We had a bit of an issue from ARMED CHANGELING SOLDIERS. Perhaps you heard the gunfire?"
>>109941"Good to hear. Get him in here. I got some questions for these two."
>>109948"Capture one of theier lackys and get the information out of him."
He Grins
>>109949Sighs observably "No, I did NOT hear the gunfire,...."
>>109949>>109940"Hey bats for brains, Spark-plug wants to see you. In there"
he points with a hoof
>>109952"Well, we got changelings in here that surrendered from our shootout. Can you help me talk to them? They could help us get through this place one way or another."
>>109947"...yes please."
>>109948"It is only as likely as them
not congregating tonight. But, if that is case, then we will observe, and wait. This is obviously ongoing operation by them. They will be back, if not tomorrow, then some day very soon."
>>109956"Lead the way,...." He sounds less than enthusiastic
>>109958Spark hooves the bat into the bedroom.
"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."
>>109957>>109948>>109951"My hooves are perfectly capable of taking prisoners without medical aid, so we are good on that front."
>>109962"We already HAVE a ticket through all the changeling patrols HERE." Brie brandishes the authorization to move with weapons.
>>109966"You really think that thing is going to work the whole way? There is bound to be a limit a pony can freely move before they halt us for possible terroristic plots or just decide it is our turn to be fed upon. We need a plan B."
>>109948yeah its new dark star ordered a new round a few turns ago
>>109964"Fantastic!"
>>109957"get what ever you would like."
>>109970Silver orders himself a whiskey. "So, you
look like zebra. Can you
act like zebra?"
>>109969e_e
"We are the terroristic plot, except we're on the changeling's side."
