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

>>114418Ah
"I have done all I can, it is up to their own strength now."
>>114420>>114414Iron ponders, then tries to wake up the red gryphon.
(He seemed stronger than the others.)
>>114419He’s knocked the fuck out
>>114419He pauses for some cheers, and then stays silent as the unicorn near Silver stands
“Our inductees...” he says
The griffin responds
“Yes... if you could introduce yourselves
The first creature to stand is a black colored, possibly raven based griffin (more likely just a black eagle, but who here is an ornithologist?), who stands up, looks back, and is afraid to speak for more than a moment. The unicorn tells him “Go on, tell us who you are and why you are here”
He’s reluctant, but he starts to speak in an overly thick accent
“My name is... Schwarzefeder Yeager...” He clearly doesn’t have much practice with public speaking, but he addresses the crowd all the same
“I am from old family in the Hearzlands, in Yale. When the Archon took over... I knew I could not stay. Too much history between my family and the temple there. I came to Equestria, because Princess promised freedom and friendship. But the ponies were hostile and unwelcoming. The Griffins were no different than they were in the Hearzlands. And the only job was night shift in a jacket factory, and I was not paid for all hours. I was sad, disconnected... I knew I could not go back, but I left behind my family and every griff I knew. It was Wilhelm over here” he points to another griffin “who told me of this place.... And I learned somethings. I feel like I belong here. I am ready to be inducted.”
They cheer
>>114422>>114420Iron sighs.
"Great."
He ponders to himself, looking at Midnight.
"Do you think we can communicate through pictures?"
>>114422Silver respectfully listens. He knows a little about the Archon and the Rule of Three, such as the purges of the Harmonists in the Empire, but he doesn't know much beyond having a surface-level understanding like most ponies.
>>114425Iron smiles sheepishly.
"I assumed you could. I admit I drew at most stick ponies.
>>114408Also see
>>114422>>114424>>114408The black griffin sits down, then the unicorn says
“I believe we have... some creature else”
With little other prompting, a diamond dog of black back coat and white belly stands up. He is big, muscular, and with a more tapered muzzle, like a Rottweiler
“My family move here from the central Diamond Hundlands. My father work all day at the power station shoveling coal. My mother and my sister...” his tone shifts from anger to sadness “they die of the Distemper... I and my brother take care of them and we get jobs to help make ends meet. My brother works for local group to collect money from flower shop. But flower shop owner hires pony with spear to protect them. My brother was stabbed to death...”
He hangs his head in sorrow, and after a pause lifts it up, definitely crying
“And the police did nothing! They release pony after they catch him. The gang did not want anything to do with it... so much for them. I talk to friends. They do not know what to do, but one of them tells me you could help me get revenge on pony.”
He ends again on an expression of anger
The griffin speaks
“Yes, yes. We can
definitely help”
\r
>>114427>>114419>>114408The griffin asks back
“I don’t believe we got you name”
The diamond dog answers, in that high pitched voice that seems too high for such a large creature
“My name is Oreo, and I seek to kill that pony who killed my brother”
Hi. I'm back.
How are Seb and Fun?
>>114429They caught the big gae, sadly.
RIP.
>>114427Silver can sympathize with his plight, even if he had to have known that there was definite risk in that kind of life. While he nods at the Diamond Dog, he wonders what pony could have used that spear.
>>114429They are both trying to get hugs, and both have hard and cold exteriors
Uh... anypony have any actions to declare?
>>114433*bugs are hugged*
>>114434Well... the griffons are downed.
I suppose I could pat the remaining griffon or do the boopening until a new group shows up so we can get anygriff that actually can speak Ponish.
Pretty sure throwing water at them shouldn't work at all, right?
>>114435Just boop the griffons until more come
>>114434Do the bugs enjoy the hugs?
>>114436Good plan.
>>114434Iron smiles devilishly, starting to boop the conscious gryphon relentlessly, but with care not to actually punch him.
I may have to change up the story and reveal from how I intended it to go>>114437Yes
>>114438There are no words nor still images
>>114439Was the bat pony still in the room? I don't remember.
>>114443
Obviously it's not funny. I was cackling due to the torture booping of the conscious griffon.
I proposed, you approved through Skies, then I acted on it. Nothing more and nothing less.
I admit this experience is exhilarating nonetheless, like the actions me and Midnight are doing are having a positive impact on mission completion. I think. Physical evidence, some prisoners, etc.
>>114443
Not refuses. Now that the changelings are calmer, they are capable of being watched by the bat with hopefully a whole lot less escaping.
Spark exits the room and tries to motion the changelings to stay put. He closes the door and meets up with the other ponies.
Looks like Dark Star has been claimed by the Void...again.
>>114446I'm Here, i just swallowed a black pill about my life. Where were we at last time we played?
>>114427>>114448Dark Star has a tear roll down his cheek as the doggo describes losing his family.
Then something form the back of his mind comes forwards as he thinks to himself.
"Wait.... Didnt oynx Stab some creature in the flower shop?"
>>114449>>114441Poor doggo
A zebra runs up to the griffin speaking and whispers something into his ear. He stops to listen, then he announces
“Mr. M will be back shortly. We will move to the inner chamber soon”
>>114449>>114451Silver looks to his two current companions with a hint of worry in his expression.
Did Iron and Midnight get discovered? We need to get to them, as soon as possible. >>114453They are not done yet. There is more speaking and chanting in some foreign language, before the congregation gets up
>>114451Dark Star Glances over at Silver looking a little worried.
>>114454Silver stands up as well, feeling like he's gained perhaps a little bit of perspective, even if this wasn't the particular path he had in mind when he decided to scout out the church.
I hope others are okay... >>114456Dark Star whispers to him
"Should we Head back?"
>>114456>>114455The Griffin now addresses the audience
“Some if you have been with us since the beginning. Some have never before attended a full meeting. Some of you have been poor and downtrodden. Displaced, lonely, sick, bullied, or beat up. Hungry, cold, humiliated, or denied your birthright path to power and glory. But all of you... All of you, have found new power and new purpose in your service. Give... and you shall receive in kind.”
>>114457He whispers back: "I would recommend it, first chance we get."
>>114458Dark Star looks intrigued by this statement
Y'all mind if I just,
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>114459>>114457The old unicorn steps up, and looks back to the two. He is pretty well dressed - a black tail coat and a u-neck vest. He says to the zebra and the fluffy one:
“Well hello, we’ve scarcely made an acquaintance. It’s nice if you to drop in on our meetings. I do apologize if our group seems a bit... reticent to speak about their nature. They are repressed in their home countries for their beliefs, but as you’ve seen here, they are open and eager to take in new members. The esotericism of their practices is really only a superficiality”
He smiles
>>11446110/10 would waifu her against her will
>>114463Reeeeeeeeee don't you dare waifu the bat!
>>114461>>114462So... what are Iron and Midnight doing?
>>114465I was serious with the whole booping thing.
It may attract some more guards or give the other two time to wake up for their round of questioning.
>>114461In my professional opinion, this is a qt.
>>114463Silver nods, and offers him a hoofshake. "Serebry Mechov. It is nice to see others in downtrodden state share in their worries, help work through things together."
>>114463"It nice service, Oreo story is like mine. Family was kill by speciest pony."
>>114468The unicorn nods to Dark Star
“I see. Sadly not all ponies are accepting. They fear what they do not understand. If they would only look beyond rough or crude exteriors, they would see something
beautiful inside.”
>>114467He shakes his hoof
“Well, nice to meet you Sereby. Yes, it is good to give make. But more than that, it is good to be among them. To be a part of culture”
>>114466I was gonna say, booping seems like a good way to wake them up.
