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

>>113759That's what I said, 3/4 empty
>>113763In any case, turning off the heat should attract at least the maid griffon.Iron tools at the big red glare on the machine.
"Is there a way to turn this thing off?" he asks Midnight.
>>113764"There was a panel that probably has some switches. Why? What are you planning?"
>>113765"If we turn it off, then somepony will definitely come here, of course."
He cocks his head.
"I thought that was the idea."
>>113766"I was planning on making it malfunction, but that might work as well."
>>113767>>113763Iron nods.
He checks around to see if he can see any sort of panels that could control the giant whirring heat/electricity machine.
>>113768No panel, only a few valves
>>113769He decides to test one of the valves to see if something noticeable happens.
>>113770Test as in turn the valve.
>>113770It tightens, and a flow of something(?) is cut off
>>113772>>113773Iron nods to himself.
"Seems that did... something."
He goes for another one at random, just in case.
[1d7 = 3]>>113775Maybe not the same one again
>>113777Checked in the name of sad skies
WAIT
>>113780Awwww. GM, you're never alone. We're always with you, if not in person, then in spirit.
>>113783>>113782>>113781D’aww
*pets the various ponies*
I guess we can continue with one or more sequences
>>113784*Is pet*
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>113785Well, Midnight is watching Iron turn random valves to unknown effect, and Onyx barged into the bow drool to find some quilts, and in the process, met his new friends, Seb and Fun
>>113786>Bow droolMy sides
Onyx takes the basket of quilts out of the room to the other ponies
Midnight assists in turning random valves.
>>113784*floof pone is pet*
Someday I'll be on at the same time as Dark Star. Then we'll be able to infiltrate this strange cult-like group.
>>113787Reee it’s bedroom
Onyx does so, perhaps not returning a friendly hiss to the other guests of the cabin. Ruby immediately run to the quilts and tries to place one over himself, while Dawson gets up and tries to walk over
“Thank you...”
Um... how many and which valves?
>>113788Perhaps some day. Some day...
>>113789"It's no problem, just rest up."
Onyx then sits close to the door, as if guarding.
Two valves, at random. And preferably ones Iron hasn't turned.
[2d8 = 4]>>113790Is he abandoning the couch?
Uh... okay
>>113792>>113791You know what? Midnight turns a valve that Iron turns
>>113791Depends, which ponies are on the couch convincing him to stay?
I'll wait for Iron to continue Midnight.
>>113794Well, nopony is convincing him to stay, although Ruby untended to sleep by the couch. It’s really more of a matter of who gets the couch when Onyx leaves it
>>113795Ah, I see. Well then Ruby can have the couch, Onyx isn't planning on sleeping with those bugs around.
>>113796Onyx abandons the couch for the wooden door. Red Wine immediately jumps up to take Onyx’s place. He is join by Ruby, who crams himself on the couch as well on the remaining third. Dawson tries to cuddle up next to Rose, who is lying down on her stomach on the mattress that was dragged into the living area. He places the quilt over her and himself
“So... my bedroom is being taken by the monsters?”
>>113797"Sadly... Yes... For interrogation purposes."
>>113798He nods at Onyx
“Right...”
And lays down
Red Wine looks tired, but from his position on the couch he tries to tell a joke
“Wanted to replenish you and your wife’s love stocks?”
His face shows a smile
Over by the fire, the little “colts” take interest, and look over at the ponies
>>113799Onyx gives a bit of a chuckle
"Alright, rest up. Changeling drain is a real pain in the ass, and rest is advised."
>>113800>>113799I'm here! I'm here!
Got ded for a sec there.
I see two valves were turned?
>>113800Rose tries to respond
“Don’t... have ta’... tell...” and she seems to fall asleep mid sentence, or at least loses the energy for it
Dawson looks disappointed, but he places a foreleg over her, and lays down party over her
Red Wine speaks after Rose seems to fall asleep
“I was really afraid I was going to die in a Changeling pod...”
Ruby frowns, and pats him lightly with a hoof
>>113802"Well I'm... I'm glad I could stop that."
>>113801Good to hear it isn't permaded
>>113803He nods with a somber expression. Then he looks back over at the couple
“I hope Rose will be okay...”
>>113804>>113803Crud.
I assume I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Did the second pipe ever do anything?
>>113805A subtle cessation of a hissing sound
>>113806So another simple cut-off.
Hm.
I'll try turning two more valves
I'll roll 2d8
[2d8 = 9]<If I fuck with more pipes, more griffs will get mad
