Welcome back to the Latest Thread of Occupied Equestria
Onyx, Spark and Brie settle down for the night in a cabin in the woods along with a set of recently rescued ponies, saved from Changeling cocoons, as well as the changelings who sought to take them captive, who are themselves locked away as captives.
In Baltimare, Silver, Dark Star, Iron, and now Midnight Lily do their last preparations before seeking to take on a creature smuggling operation in a port-side neighborhood

>>112068"Not magical healing... I found some bandages and iodine, but we could ask the family here if they have any other healing methods."
>>112069“We have peanuts...”
He looks back, then up
“Let me see if I can find some coffee”
>>112064"If possible. Not only does evidence of trafficking help, but it might be possible that I would come across manifest or other documents to give insight into operations." Silver gets up from his seat. "Give me minute while I clean these." He makes his way to the bathroom to do exactly that.
>>112071"They're both injured, and they're concerned about that. The washing will have to wait though."
>>112076"Hmm... Well, considering that a family lives here, there should be some water somewhere nearby."
>>112074“A few bags?”
>>112073“So you want to go after the ships?”
>>112087"That might be enough."
He puts his hoof to his chin in thought
>>112086"Nope,
GM said there is none apparently we need to move on to find running water."
>>112087Silver responds once he gets back. "Like I said, if possible."
>>112090He said none in the house. No family can live without a shower at some point, let alone run a farm.
"Sounds like a plan."
>>112088He runs off. Then comes back
“You’re in luck. We have some coffee, if you want me to make you a pot”
>>112092Fair point, but I'm just going off available information.
>>112087"Irgendwo hier in der Nähe wird es sicher eine Süßwasserversorgung geben. Wir kennen die Gegend nicht sehr gut, aber wir können alle erforderlichen Vorkehrungen treffen."
>>112093"You're a life saver Mr.Glass, i think we're gonna be gone for awhile."
>>112095It is Fun, standing over near the back of the room, who speaks
“Das wird bei uns funktionieren. Es ist besser als in einen eisigen Fluss zu gehen ...”
He looks down at his shriveled and burned hide, and at the tattered ruins of his old uniform
“Oder in dieser toten Haut zu bleiben. Es muss bald herauskommen.”
>>112097“Alright.,, let me cook up some coffee here”
He produces a machine, which comes on with a bit of purple magic, and eventually starts to produce a pot of coffee
>>112107"What kind of coffee is it?"
>>112116“I want to say it is a Yucoltan variety. It’s really not the fanciest, but it gets the job done”
>>112122"Just how i like my coffee."
He smiles
>>112123He pours a cup
“In a way you are lucky. It’s harder to get ahold of coffee with the war rationing and the trade disruption. Good thing I was able to acquire some a month ago”
>>112129"Fantastic. how much for it?:
>>112130Not Again. >>112130Only the best Ersatz coffee for your wartime needs
>>112133“Oh, for you? Nothing”
>>112138"I'll Make sure to pick you up another bag."
He smiles.
"You wouldn't happen to have a Thermos would you?"
>>112144"That'll do."
"uh there's something else i would like to talk to you about. in the event of my untimely death, i would like my shares in the bar to go to Blue Skies."
>>112168“Blue Skies?
He blinks
“Is that that mare you are with all the time?”
>>112170"Yes That's Her. the place we're headed to, looks pretty well fortified."
>>112172He is looking down at a glass, but then his face has a look of befuddlement, then a hint of sadness
"Are you... Are you afraid?"
>>112173"nope, everypony has to die sometime. and if i do i die. i'll die knowing that i died protecting my fellow ponies."
>>112174"Is that is what you are doing, going over there? Protecting ponies?"
He says this curiously, not with any hint of skepticism
>>112175"yes,sir. there are some....very bad creatures that need to be stopped"
He smiles
>>112178"Well... Sounds like you are doing something productive with your time. Not just selling poison to depressed ponies, or providing a location for stallions to find lose mares"
>>112180"You do so much more than just that Mr.Glass"
Dark Star Puts his hoof on Glistening glass's shoulder.
"you help those depressed ponies kill their pain. even if just for a night, that pain is forgotten."
>>112091"Well, that's not a bad idea. We'll inform customs"
>>112183"Are you killing your pain?" Hes asks
>>112180Iron suddenly feels a bit self-conscious after sweet talking Midnight into an acquaintance.
>>112185He can hear an aside
"Damned Changeling hunting grounds..."
\r
>>112184"Sometimes. i thank you for running this place,Sir."
He smiles
>>112186Iron's ears perk up, trying to pinpoint where it's coming from.
>>112187"Well, you're welcome"
He returns an expression that, though based in sorrow, lets a smile shine through, as if a ray of sun through clouds
>>112188The bar owner and present bar tender, "Glistening Glass," talking to Dark Star
Brie succumbs to his apparent narcolepsy
Can Brie get an extra feat for his narcolepsy? Asking for a friend
>>112192Strange, they never seem to say that.Iron starts slowly walking towards the conversation.
>>112192He pats him on the back
"Bar owners are the unsung heros of Equestria."
>>112200He laughs at this
"Glad you think so
>>112197Well... I hadn't made it happen yet>>112198Dark Star and the bar tender talking still
>>112201He Smiles
and puts down 100 bits on the counter
"Put this towards the advancement of the tavern."
>>112202"Oh, I will. Might even be able to buy some more coffee"
>>112201>>112202Iron decides to stay nearby to get a gist on the conversation.
(What made them say that?)
