Occupied Equestria is an RP campaign set in a post-Equestria Equestria, where the princesses are gone, as are the Elements of Harmony. Gone, temporarily at least, but not by any means forgotten.

New players are welcome.

Fantasy Play has a few "kitties" to cuddle with
Brie has a Changeling Queen to negotiate with
Iron has some gangsters to beat
Silver has some follow up to do
Amber is exploring her new home
Spark is either looking for forest demons, or negotiating the fate of a tribe of Wolves
Midnight has more cultists to kill
Onyx has a colt to look after
Dark Star has some communists to kill

The brown wooden box has a rounded square grey screen in the center, and knobs at the bottom, sort of like a radio

The associate helps him, and a couple colts and Mala help to carry the safe, the refrigerator, and the Television. It's about 800 bits in total (less if cheaper units are used for the refrigerator and safe), and a pony shows silver how to set up the television at the house to receive analog signal.

Silver heads for a grocery store to stock up on the essentials: milk, sugar, eggs, bread, flour, some fruit, etc. He also stocks up on the ingredients to make dinner for the house tonight. Egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, an onion, a couple cans of mushrooms, and sour cream.

There's a corner grocery store just down the street. Sugar is available again - albeit at a premium - and some fruits, like mangos and strawberries, are missing, but bread, flour, milk, apples, bananas, and many other items are also available. Eggs are trickier to obtain, but they can be found.

Egg noodles and cream of mushroom soup, unlike onions, but like eggs, require traveling a little further down the peninsula, to an even larger grocery store with more options.

"Sure" Mala says, calmly. He uses a belt to help wrap under the refrigerator and over his shoulders, helping to carry it up the stairs, though he comments
"Will we have room in the Kitchen for this thing? Also, where does the Tel... the box thing go?"

He likewise is able to help pull the safe in, and up the flight up stairs inside.

If Amber is not interrupted she'll leave the immigration building and find herself back on the street, unless if Discord did something wonky. She'll be moving back up north, keeping an eye out for the landmarks she saw earlier. She definitely will check out the ocean liner.

Amber trots down to the ocean liner and looks up, impressed at how high the ship rises out of the water–and the dock.
How do ponies get all the way up there? she wonders to herself.

Silver really has to push things aside, placing the phonograph partly into the dining area and pushing the taxidermied creature aside. But it fits. Jubilosa patters around across the floor, her claws making a definite tapping noise, as she moves back and forth looking at the new marvel. She says things like "I'd heard of these but never seen one" and "how does it work?"

Eventually, Silver thinks he has it set up to where it can play

"Had I known that was TV in Maakie's office, I would have nabbed it. I had not heard of TVs before, I must have been really out of loop."

Silver turns it on, and turns to dial to one of the channels offered.

Turning on the screen, Silver sees a black and white display of an orchestra: ponies playing violins, the piano and the trombone. It’s a song Silver recognizes from his young adulthood, with an upbeat tune. Jubilosa seems enraptured by the site, and Mala moves over to watch the screen as well.

She moves her head back and towards Silver, startled by the sudden movement. But she turns her head back forward, lays it on his shoulder, and watches the band play.

“Uh... alright.” He smiles awkwardly

Spark doesn’t know where the mining building is, but it turns out to not be a problem at all. The mining company building is near the police station on the top of the hill in Blackwood, and is one of the few buildings to have multiple floors. Entering inside an alleged green unicorn pony stands next to the door holding a Equestrian-style carbine and wearing the big fluffy white coats of the garrison. He watches Spark enter, saying nothing. There is a receptionist at the desk, who asks Spark “can I help you?”

Amber is able to get a pretty good view of the ship as it is moored next to the dock. It's a medium sized passenger liner with a black color scheme on the bottom of the hull, and a white strip along the top of the hull, as well as on the structures above the hull. It's structure rises several stories above the hull, and there are at least two smoke stacks and four masts. The ship, marked as the Griffwallen of the Feathesian-Equestrian Line, doesn't appear to be occupied by any one.

>>133133
Huzzah! Where do you want to start now?

>>133131
The song played predates the occupation, the war, the other wars and invasions, the elements, the birth of Jubilosa, or Khoi, or Mala or Silver's children for that matter. It predates Silver's move to Manehattan, and even his earliest dates with Storm Waring... not that it was absent from those, mind you. The sound quality isn't quite as good as a phonograph, and it's certainly no live band, but Silver can tell there are more instruments playing, and a more professional band playing this old song, than what he heard in the park at Ponyville all those years ago. The feathers leaning next to Silver are new - he couldn't feel that before - as is the couch. But the sound is old, belonging to a time when SIlver was young.
