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.

As if granting Jubilosa a reprieve from questions about her preteen poetry, the plates of food arrive. Roast Beef, a Steak, and a plate of more than one mauve colored octopus. They are still slightly moving

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

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

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

There are only four Octopi... Octopuses in total, with Silver and Jubilosa each now cutting and eating one. Jubilosa can't quite chew, but she does seem to try to savor it, dipping more into the sesame. They are still reasonably large, with the feats achieved by Mala and Jubilosa only possibly because of how squishy, wet, and slippery the creatures are

"Thanks... I think you may be the first pony to actually accept it. Accept me, I mean. You and that pony that dyed his fur to look like a Zebra. Dark Star. Every other pony or zebra I have come across was always uncomfortable with carnivorism. They wouldn't say it outloud. At least most of them wouldn't. Some would say it was monstrous and scream in horror. But most would grit their teeth and walk away, or show disgust. Maybe they could sit across in uncomfortable silence. It was unnerving, or disgusting, or just something they would rather not be around. They would try to make me just eat something else instead. I think maybe the ponies think that anything that eats meat could eat them. Or maybe its that they think its mean to the animals or something, and they want to take care of the animals. I don't know. Even ponies who were nicer to me always had a kind of aversion to it. Like Boek, He would smile, but say "I don't want to be around when it happens" and leave the room. Or the Zebra, who judged us for it. But seeing you eat meat here.... and especially how nice you were last night... it's different. Very different from anything I have experienced with ponies before."

Mala smiles back to him, contended and satisfied from the meal. He has a fairly distended belly, although most likely, little of that comes from what he's eaten here.

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

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

>>128787
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."

>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
