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

>>113568Midnight never responded to the last post, so there is no action declared
>>113571Fine...
>>113522She backs away a few feet
"What do you want?"
>>113573He shakes his head.
"Go help your griffon friend."
>>113574>>113576She looks at them, terrified. She pauses for more then a moment. Then she rushes into the dining area towards the griffin
>>113575*Continues petting the old, adorable pony* >>113576>>113577"That is definitely going to stir up some trouble," he whispers to Midnight.
He hustles back to the spot where he got the cart from.
>>113579>>113581Are they intending to go to the stairwell down to the laundry room in the basement?
>>113580*rubs the back of the pony's head and his neck* >>113582Yes, and from there to leave through the half-opened door they both snuck themselves through.
>>113585>>113584Dun worre...
We going back once we secured the evidence.
>>113586>>113585Okay...
They go back through the door into the room in the basement accompanying the laundry room, then back through the laundry room into the maintenance corridor into the loading bay, and back out through the covered area
>>113588So did we get out through the half opened big door?
I can try a strength check to open it further.
>>113590Is he towing that cart? With that he needs a strength check
>>113592>Nat20Ah, I see he's showing off for the lady.
>>113592And the door is shifted straight up, like a garage door
>>113593Oh God
\r
>>113593>>113594Insert Vietnam Flashbacks HereAnd with that, he goes out and plans to hide it in the tallest of tall grass.
>>113595That would be an easier task if he were in a savannah or prairie, and not one of the most densely populated square miles of land in the biggest city in the entire southeastern region of Equestria.
There are some areas in the surrounding ground that offer some room to try to hid things, for instance, a ditch that goes through the property, and a few bushes, but the lack of leaves on trees does Iron no favors, and certainly there is no ground to hide an entire laundry cart
>>113596*Continues petting*Wait.... am I a pony now? >>113597>>113593Yes, you are. We're all ponies now.Iron considers his options.
(Crud. Perhaps it's time I rid myself of this cart thing.)
He looks at Midnight.
"Take out the clothing in the cart and place it in the bushes. We should have time before they come here again."
He unlatches himself from the cart and proceeds to do what he said.
>>113598"Alright, make sure we keep an eye out."
She proceeds to remove some of the clothes and place them under some bushes.
>>113600>>113598A cold breeze blows, and a cloud temporarily obscures the moon
>>113599Screams Can I be a pony?>>113601"What do we do when they come to us?"
>>113600>>113601>>113602As he finishes the whole unpacking thing,
Hopefully. He turns to Midnight.
"We should try to nab an important griffon in there to both create chaos and get some more information."
Confirmed?
>>113604"I could... Throw one of them into a major panic as well. That might help"
I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting Iron to be the one to quit responding
Tries to shake hooves off
>>113612Oh, you wanted me to respond to Midnight's most recent comment? Sure.
>>113606Iron nods.
"If it lasts for more than a week, sure."
>>113614"Heh.... More for about half a minute. Enough to get them to run and be scared..."
>>113616Iron shrugs then smiles.
"So we are going in, then. Alright."
>>113612I ask again. Is the clothes hiding done?
>>113618Is that what you wanted ‘confirmed’? Sure
>>113615Shudders >>113619>>113616Excellent.
Iron goes back into the building, waiting for Midnight.
"Get ready to kick griffon flank."
>>113620>>113618Midnight sighs
"Alright, let us do this."
>>113620>>113621Now where inside of the building do they go?
>>113622First back to the laundry room. We need impromptu zipties in the meantime.
>>113624This is smart, Midnight makes sure to keep an eye out.
>>113624>>113625They go back to the room. One of the machines has stopped, and the hallway continues on forward. The other room is still over to the left. There is no creature in sight
>>113627>>113625He picks 15 ordinary simple clothes up.
"All done. We should keep down here in case more of the guards are around. They should know where and who the most important ponies are."
>>113628>>113625Alright. Iron collects 15 shirts, and no Griffins seem to approach
