Up in the North, the ponies have successfully found who, or rather, what was damaging the mine. But their quest is not over, as they go to look for the source of the trouble. In Baltimare, Iron, Silver, and Dark Star enjoy the fruits of defeating the cultists, while Midnight herds the remaining rescues.

A griffin comes to take the order. This one has a darker color scheme, almost black.
Jubilosa seems almost pleasantly surprised to see another griffin, while Mala remains silent

"Well... I don't really know where I was born, but I grew up here. In the city. I didn't really connect well with the ponies around me. I did know my father... maybe not very well though. I did have a brother, but he didn't make it. My mother was strong. Forward. Maybe a little harsh. But she broke down sometime after I stopped seeing dad. She died of the Melancholia I think. I stayed on the streets after that. Dropped out of school. Not like I was good at learning. I did have a job at a warehouse, briefly... What... Whatelse did you want to know?"

"I don't really know what I want to do. Or what I wanted to do. Probably something physical. I don't get out much, but I am strong. When I was younger, much younger, I had this idea of exploring the jungles. There was this magazine, especially, that my mother had. It had this art for Equestrian Jungle Tours. On river and littoral boats. It fascinated me. My mother told me once that I was born somewhere far away. Zebrica, it must have been. And I think I have vague memories of the hull of a ship, of grassland with a few trees. Of a coastline. But I don't know if I am remembering what I saw, or things I saw in magazines, on posters, or in those couple times my father would take me to see a motion picture. Not films, but short reels. I don't know if I believe my mother. She would lie to me sometimes. I think that is why I never asked her what happened to father.
I can only be sure I have ever left Baltimare twice. Both times were just to properties just west and south of the city, and both times as an adult. This city is my home. The only one I have ever known. I do not know what I want in a career, or if I wanted a career at all. I suppose what I want is what I think my mother and father wanted when they came. They want to live like the ponies do. But that has not happened. I am not sure it can happen."

After a couple bites, Silver looks at them, mouth full of meat and a fork and knife in his telekinetic grip. He swallows in order to talk.

After another second, Silver shurgs and returns to his porkchop. Judging from the look on his face and the quiet "mm mhm hmm" he lets out, he's apparently enjoying the slab of pig flesh in front of him.

The pork is well cooked, certainly more thoroughly than Silver probably could have expected from a comparable set of beef. It does taste good, though.
As Silver is very hungry from a very, very intense last 24 hours, it's welcome

He pauses for a moment, then pulls the plate forward, and then places his head down to bite off a set of meat. Unlike Silver, but like Jubilosa, he seems to lack the ability to chew to any significant degree.

Mala wags his tail briefly, and asks for beef. There is a moment when the waiter does not know precisely which kind of beef, and Mala settles upon some kind of roast beef. And a steak. He orders both, if Silver accepts

The good news is that the octopi are actually rather small in size, and they aren't particularly active. But they are still moving. Jubilosa looks over herself
"... In my country, they were boiled first, and server with onions"
Mala sniffs the steak, puts up the nails of his paw to hold the steak down, and rips part off with his mouth.

They came accompanied by seeds and oil, looks like sesame seeds.
"Uh... I guess the arms would be seperated?"
Mala, who stopped after eating half of his steak to eat some of the roast beef, moves his head over to the octopi. His snout comes close, sniffing them, but suddenly pulls away when one of them moves. Staring at it, he then lunges down and bites the head of the creature, pulling it away with fairly long tentacles. It starts writhing as best it can, and Mala squishes it in his mouth, trying to throw it up and re-position it. Then he tilts his head up, and evidently starts to swallow it. It falls into his mouth, with some tentacles still moving around, inclduing one that attempts to latch onto the side of his face, but fails. He moves his head up, swallows again, then again, and for a moment seems as if he may choke. But the thing slinks down, until there are only a few tentacles remaining, letting him breath. He swallows these down, licks his lips, and then places his muzzle down in the roast beef
"...That's one way to do it"

It's slightly bland - something the sesame oil helps with - and a little chewy. Tastes more like chicken than fish - if Silver knows what either of those taste like. Silver notes that the suckers on the tentacles have some power left, making choking on them not impossible.

"Uh... sure. I can try it this way."
Jubilosa picks up one with the fork, not quite wanting to stab it, and rubs it in the oil. She lifts it up, looking a bit... perhaps not quite "disgusted," but certainly intimidated by the creature. She places the head in her mouth, and lets it stay there for a moment. Then, she moves her head up, to let it come further in, and moves her tongue around.it, and sits there for another moment, before tilting her head up, pressing it forward, and letting the octopus slide down her throat in an almost even motion, stopping once and being swallowed again as the tentacles wiggle before going down.
From Silver's perspective, it looks like she just managed to do what Mala did with greater ease and more grace. But you'd never know from her facial expressions, as she has a mixture of fear and disgust, ultimately looking as she did after swallowing the hard alcohol the night before
"Yeah... heheh. Not bad"

Decided to do a little research. It's really interesting.

Is a griffin child a cub or a fledgeling?

There was one kung-fu genre movie where a character had to eat a whole live octopus. Problem was that the actor was a vegetarian Buddhist and had to make a special prayer before eating the octopus. Unfortunately for him, they had to reshoot the scene three times
What's ironic is that octopi probably would be a sapient invertebrate in the MLP universe

I know that Changelings have German corollary equipment, Equestria has American corollary equipment and Stalliongrad has Soviet corollary equipment. I'm doing research into what heavy weapons we could introduce to the game-world and I want to know what's the corollary of New Mareland.
Also, would the Changelings be using captured Olenian equipment like irl Germans did and if so what would be the corollary of Olenia? I'm guessing it's the UK for New Mareland and Czechoslovakia for Olenia

Equestria I think is probably based on Canada, given that their bomber list seems to be British. The Equestrian submachine gun here should be assumed to be the Sten gun, since it's actually kind of similar in most specifications to the Changeling MP40 and the New Marelander Owen gun, and the magazine that feeds from the side seems like the kind of adaptation a quadruped race would have. New Mareland has had Australian equipment thus far, including Owen guns and Wirraway dive bombers. Olenia is actually Finish in its equipment. As the capture of Olenia takes place sometime before the Great War, the Changelings likely had time to retool the factories and build up their own equipment. I suppose its possible that they use Suomis, or Olenian sniper rifles or ski equipment. I have depicted them as using "carbines," which are likely captured Equestrian equipment

Good to know. Although that limits what's available to our protagonists, it does allow other major world powers to have fleshed-out weapons systems. I'm guessing that the River Coalition would be American then, and the Griffonian Empire would be Czech?

For what it's worth, the dish that Jubilosa thought she was ordering was a (Spanish) Galician dish known as "Polbo á feira," boiled octopus. This translates from Galician to English as "fair-style octopuus," hence why she added "fair-style" when describing the order.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polbo_%C3%A1_feira
The dish that Jubilosa actually got is a Korean dish called San-nakji, where log-arm octopus (a much smaller species than the more commonly eaten Giant Octopus) is cut into pieces and served raw, while the tentacles are still squirming. Swallowing the octopus whole is also possible.

I looked up whether horses could eat peanuts, and found that they generally shouldn't be fed peanuts because they are high in protein and will cause the digestive system to "overheat." In any case I think we can assume that the ponies of My Little Pony have degenerated digestive systems that can handle the high-carbohydrate-low-fiber diets we see in the show.
>Griffin nouns
I tried looking up whether there were any terms specific to griffins, general to avians, or general to cats, and I found basically nothing except "Tom" for a male cat and "chick" for an infant bird. I suppose "fledgling" could apply.
>Sapient invertebrate
Maybe, but I think at some point the carnivores are going to say "I don't care, I'm hungry" and disregard some intelligent animals
>Roll
I would definitely have asked for a roll if he attempted to swallow it whole

I don't think the American equipment set is used anywhere by any faction in EAW. The Griffin Empire might be czech, but their language is German, their historical parallel is the Hapsburg Empire, and so the one time an Imperial weapon has been seen, I used an Austrian weapon. As for the Riverlands, Lake City is Serbian and uses Japanese weapons, the River Republic is Croation, Deoponya looks like fantasy England, Wittenburg is kind of French, Nimbusia is Greek, I have no idea what Bakara is, and Ponadeihm is "celtic."

Checked
>degenerated digestive systems
Fair assumption. Horses have a massive gut that truly makes their midsection a "barrel," while ponies from the show don't have that feature. Pics for comparison. I think a good explanation is that through change in diet ponies no longer needed such a bulky digestive system, similar to how humans lost the need for massive jaws once we learned to cook meat
>no American equipment set
That is extremely surprising and the only explanation I can come up with is that it's being saved for another major power, but I don't see anything that stands out in planned Zebrica. I was honestly hoping that the party could find and ride around in an old Equestrian M2 tank or something that survived the war. Something that's underpowered compared to current military vehicles but still has the "WOAH A TANK" factor

Ponadeihm is celtic? Holy hecc I bet those guys have the best artillery, since it shoots 20% faster than other countries.

Iron did find a plane deity crashed in the jungle back in his dream.
...it sadly didn't do much. I think it was tired or cozy in the lake.
