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

Somewhere a bat is making bat noises near a church.
Somewhere else, a crystal is making rock noises.
>>112815I mean, it was more a commentary on their general state over the past several months and what they can reasonably expect if they remain the wilderness indefinitely. Right now they are fairly well off
>>112816They ain’t asleep yet, but they are trying to lay down. Dawson is still vocalizing discontent about the loss of his bedroom, and in any case they’d like more blankets or mattresses
>>112818Ah k, just checking. I'm still not sure what went on, other than that some ponies got attacked, and some bugs got squished
>>112818And last I remember the rock was looking around for extra blankets.
>>112819>some ponies got attacked, and some bugs got squishedThat’s... basically what happened. There used to be four changelings. There are now just the wounded two. Three ponies were cocooned, and another drained, then Onyx as the fifth victim.
>>112820“The blankets are in the bedroom”
>>112796>>112805"It does seem strange to me. Usually, sermons feature passive listeners, understanding what is being spoken without paying attention to who is speaking. This, this is more like cult."
Silver suddenly does a double take in Dark Star's direction. "...You have been to communist rally?"
>>112821You're fine, seriously I know this feel>>112823Onyx sighs, and enters the bedroom.
>>112825"A Cult? here in baltimare? Yes i have, it was before i joined up with the black hooves. and then one time afterwards to gather intel."
>>112829Silver digests that little nugget. "Cults are everywhere, religious or not. I am not explicitly saying it is cult, it just seems like one. Cults rely on charismatic speakers, capable of getting inside others' heads and speaking directly to them, to what they want out of life. Rarely does it end well for those who fall for such honeyed words. And this, well, it seems more like they are here for
who is speaking as much
what they are speaking."
>>112826Inside are Brie (Spark? Probably Spark) and Onyx’s two favorite creatures, the changelings that drained his and shot at him earlier, ‘ol blue eyes (who shot at Onyx) stands nearer Brie, and blue green (who drained onyx) keeps his distended from Spark. Over in the corner is a basket with quilts - family quilts with pictures of ponies woven in it, and of the lands of Whinnysota
>>112833"What you just described matches with the reactions of the audience at the rallies,Should we maybe...go inside?"
>>112834Onyx remains silent as he retrieves the basket, glaring at the changelings.
>>112826"Ah Spark! I hear you've met our new friends!" Brie beams.
>>112835"Hmm...it is risky. And I am not certain how welcoming they would be of arms being openly brought into building, if we go in through front door. I will leave decision up to you."
>>112838>>112841"Yeah, I reckon 'met' is a bucking good word for it."
>>112839"Well this used to be a Svetyaian
Tfw i forgot how to spell the word, just assume Dark star said it correctly. Church, you could say that you were showing your zigger friend, the church you used to pray at."
>>112844"Severyanan. And if that is what you want to go with, I will be with you all way." He chuckles. "So, what should I call you...zebra?"
>>112847"Call me, Zekker, if they get hostile we should head out of there very fast."
>>112842"Oh come now, you look fine!" Brie says dismissing the apparent aggression.
>>112851"I agree. Very well, Zekker. Let me give you grand tour." Silver makes his way around to the front of the church, before trying the front door.
>>112852"Yeah, and you look the same shade of grey as everything else thanks to them."
>>112855Zekker follows close behind
>>112857>>112852>>112834I'm back.
Spark waves to the bartender.
>>112837One if these quilts even has Rose and Dawson as a couple on it. Another has dairy farms, wheat, and iron ore mines.
Blue green backs himself even further away into a corner on the far side of the small room
>>112858>>112858Be advised. If thus turns sour, Dark Star and Silver will not be able to outfight their opponents, they will not be able to outrun the flying enemy, and they will never make it back to the party healer way across the map
>>112861>>112857Alrighty, ready to enact griffon hugs?
>>112861>>112858It's up to "Zekker". Silver will do his best to get his friend out of there, in any case.
>>112861Spark looks at Seb and wonders if he looks like he is more willing for a pet this time.
>>112861>>112865Dark star is feeling rather bold.
"Lets get in there."
sorry for the delay was in the bathroom >>112875And thus, Silver does so.
>>112868Alright. I assume you want to get out of the cart hiding place first. Iron's the backup.
>>112879Alrighty then
Midnight steps out, slowly trotting forward and doing her best to look confused.
Huh. This is unprecented.
>>112954>>112952You mean you don't think the GM's sudden disappearance is weird?
It's not even 12:00 AM
>>112955Could be he's off typing, or contemplating. He's done stuff like this before.
>>112955Its friday. Who knows what he's doing. Obviously I hope for the best, but its a little early to be getting concerned about it.
I am on an out of town trip for a Labor Day weekend. I think I will be available later tonight
>>112959Alrighty. We can wait, go on and have fun or do whatever you need to do.
