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

>>109421"They're alive."
Onyx finds the sofa and lies down
"Damn bugs and their drain."
>>109422Onyx is tired, and the grey colt (he was bright red before) comes before Onyx
“Will they be okay? Are we safe?”
He looks at onyx suspiciously
>>109422"Make sure they stay warm. I'm going to get the prisoners."
>>109421Spark goes back outside and walks up to the bugs.
"You."
He points at them.
"Inside."
He points to the door.
>>109423"Safe? Hardly. As long as those bucking bugs are allowed to roam Equestria nopony is safe"
Any sparkle in Onyx's coat is gone, as his eyes slowly turn more grey. His voice is filled with anger.
"Okay? Yeah probably"
>>109424"Whatever"
He slowly gets up and rolls them towards the fireplace.
>>109424They blink with sideways eye lids
>>109425“Be careful with them! Those are my friends” Ruby says
>>109426"Yeah yeah"
He moves them a bit gentler before flopping himself back on the couch.
>>109426Spark sighs, but continues to try to comunicate.
"You."
He points to them.
"Go."
He points to his hooves and walks towards the door a few paces.
"Inside."
He points to the door.
>>109428They are cautious, but come closer, and ever closer to the door to come inside. One is bleeding it’s blue blood, the other has serious burn marks with an almost destroyed uniform
[1d20 = 2]>>109429Spark leans them in and guides them away from the ponies. He then bandages up the bleeding one.
Rolling Wisdom
>>109430Fuck. Damn changeling biology being different from ponies and all...
[1d20+3 = 9]>>109430“HISS!”
It bites Spark with its fangs
>>109430Another issue. All of the ponies are in the central room next to the fire place. Where even to put the changelings that won’t spook the ponies?
>>109432Rood of the damn bug
"Oh look,it bites the hoof that tries to heal it. Shocking"
[1d20 = 8]>>109432"OW! Sorry! I'm trying to patch you up damn it!"
Spark tries again.
>>109433Well, are there any other rooms, or is this a one room cabin?
>>109436It’s small. There is a separate bedroom, and an attacked kitchen
>>109437Assuming the bandage is now applied, Spark leads them into the bedroom.
>>109434"Hey Onyx! Put a sticky note on Brie's head saying we need a translator!"
>>109438"Fine!"
Onyx writes a colorful note about needing a translator, and not-so-gently attaches it to the bat's face.
>>109438So... the petrified ponies are just lying on the floor?
>>109440Hey! They get to be by the fire.
>>109439"Now, if you can help move this bed into the living room, that will be very kind of you."
>>109441"Fine"
Onyx snorts in an annoyed manner as he helps spark move the bed.
>>109441The changelings are directed to the more cold room while the ponies are left lying on the wooden floor. But what then?
>>109443They are getting a bed.
>>109442"I'm going to keep an eye on them. Don't anypony run off."
Spark locks the door once the bed is moved.
>>109444"Oh I don't think that's a problem. But I'll watch them"
>>109444Locking the door is not really possible, with no key. Spark has moved, what? One bed? He needs more beds and blankets
>>109446Now you are just being picky. Please don't make me have to declare actions for moving each bed and blanket or we will be here all night.
>>109447>>109445Well, Onyx has not one, not two, but three unconscious almost dead ponies lying on the floor below him, a very drained and scared colt who is still partly freaking out about the whole situation, two vampire soldiers placed in the next bedroom, and less than a quarter of a bottle of vodka left.
How does it feel, and what does Onyx do next?
>>109454*does not like being poked back*
I’ll see what I can type up during periods of downtime
Drove out to a JP court for two bench trials on speeding tickets. First guy pleas out, get ready for the second one and worry about it... when the guy shows up, he explains he just wanted to ask the judge a question, and pleas out >>109455Don't multitask too much.
It can get pretty heavy on your nerves.
The spoilers sounds like it could be part of a comedy movie >>109460Hello.
I think that Blue Skies has been sitting next to Dark Star this entire time, but has not been hugged or cuddled even once
>>109461Dark Star gives her a Big Hug.
>>109462*poner is hugged*
She’s even softer than usual, although her lavender smell has been replaced with that of a tropical fruit
>>109463"Your Coat feels like silk."
He Smiles at her
>>109464Silver keeps his voice low as to not announce what he's saying to the world. Or, in this case, the table. "So, Iron...any other details on this 'night of romance' you had with Cauldron?"
>>109466Iron looks at Silver questioningly.
"It was a bit... cramped. Not what you would call somehwere where you should do it."
>>109467"Not
exactly what I have in mind, but alright. Was it like date? You two go to see movie or something like beforehoof?"
>>109468His look changes to uncomfortable, really unsure of how much he should say.
"Well... you could say it was kind of like a date, sure. A... romantic walk on nature kind."
>>109469Silver nods. "That does indeed sound romantic. You know, you do not
have to tell me if you do not want to. I do not want to make you uncomfortable, I was just curious."
>>109471Iron raises an eyebrow, not really believing him.
"Uh huh."
Your trust level with Iron is too low to go along this line of conversation. >>109465She smiles at him with her malign glee
“Thank you. Want to feel it some more?”
>>109469Blue Skies looks skeptically at Iron as he advances his claims of sexual activity
>>109472Silver takes another drink of whiskey, his last for the night. "Hmm. Well then...would you mind telling me bit about your tribe, where you came from?"
>>109473He Grins
"Of Course."
He Hugs her tighter
>>109474"yea i've never really read any books on the native tribes before. i would be interested in that too."
>>109475*poner is hugged more*
She presses her head into him, closes her eyes, and smiles in his embrace
