Welcome back to the newest thread of Occupied Equestria
In Northern Equestria on the Changeling side, Spark has given refuge to a mare claiming to be stalked by a Changeling drone.
In the southeast, in Baltimare, Amber tries to slip past police in her infiltration of the Police Headquarters. Iron prepares for his next fight against griffin gangsters. Silver enjoys downtime, and Midnight checks out a local church.

>>147926Silver sighs in defeat, and decides to stroke her mane to try to calm her down.
>>147927Mollis is slowly reassured, and slowly relaxes, laying alongside Silver
>>147928"You are very beautiful mare, by way."
>>147929She smiles, making eye contact again. She inches closer.
"And how do
I rank for you?"
>>147930"Oof, that is some stiff competition."
He gives her a brief kiss.
"But - disqualifying my late wife as she is resting in Elysium, Luna watch over her - you may just rank number two, right behind wonderful griffon on table next to us."
>>147931She smiles a little brighter at part of that, then adopts a more somber exorsssion when she says,
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
She pets his fluffy, so fluffy fur,
“You have many scars on you. If I may…”
>>147932He nods.
"That you may. I have been alive for many years, and many of those years I have spent fighting. Many brigands' blades and many monsters' claws have rent this hide of mine, and especially lately they have been joined by bullets of my enemies. I even fought in Great War, and gained many new wounds from fighting against Changelings."
>>147933She opens her mouth in evident surprise
“Fighting? Oh my…”
>>147934"Sometimes, fighting is necessary, to protect those you love..."
>>147935“Oh, well yes. That is true. Still, it sounds very dangerous.”
>>147936He nods, and points to a particular scar on his back, one that is especially fresh.
"I got this one on same night I met my Jubee. On night I saved her."
>>147937“What?” She pulls her hooves up to cover her mouth.
“Tell me what that was like.”
>>147938"It was dark night. Myself and others like me were given task by Baltimare government to put end to traffickers operating out of 33 Hoebuck. They were telling people abroad, desperate to arrive to Equestria's shores, that they could take them here, only to trick them, capture them, and press them into slavery to be either sold, or work in sweat shops. That is how my Jubee came here, from Sicameon. She was did not even intend to come here to Equestria, she wanted to go to Aquileia, but they captured her anyways and took her to Hoebuck with others. Right before we encountered her, we got into fight with two vicious guard dogs, protecting drainage-pipe entrance we had used. One jumped up onto my back, and sank her teeth deep in my flesh."
>>147939She places her hooves closer to her mouth as she breathes in in a horrified gasp
“That’s terrible! I’ve heard of thing like that, taking advantage of migrants here in Baltimare. It is so horrible.”
>>147940"It is indeed. We found Jubee tied on leash, next to small cage that contained young stallion. Even in that state, she was special one. After we had finished traffickers and we returned to local inn to celebrate and relax, Jubee and I danced, had bit to drink, and, well...we discovered what each others' species are like in bedroom. We have fallen for each other ever since."
>>147941She looks on with wide eyes at Silver’s story.
“That is horrible. But she is very lucky to have been found by you.”
>>147942"I think we were both lucky. She has given me something I have missed for many years: love, companionship, and company."
>>147943“D’awww.” She tilts her head “You felt lonely?”
>>147944"My wife died many years ago. It had been while since my foals had left home. I was left alone, at home, until War began. It can get very lonely, when you start getting older."
>>147945She takes a hoof, and runs it through Silver’s mane.
“You never need to feel lonely again.”
>>147946The contact seems to instantly put whatever lingering unease from the conversation out of his mind.
"I have not been for while now. And with people like you and Jubee, I do not think I will be."
>>147947She makes a petting action, with a smile that shows both teeth and confidence.
“Are you ready to go home?”
>>147948"I think I am ready, yes. Jubilosa, I am not so sure of."
>>147949“You’re… sure she’s is fine with you and me?” Mollis asks
>>147950"You mean, you coming home with us, or what we just did?"
>>147952He thinks on it a moment, and gives Mollis a light kiss before whispering to her.
"Now that I think on it, you make good point. We can wait to have more fun some other day." >>147953“Okay…” she says, sounding slightly disappointed.
“Another day.”
She pets his mane
>>147954Silver smiles brightly to her.
"I promise."
>>147955“Very well then” she says, and without trace of Irony
>>147956Silver sits up on the table, and looks to Sweet Dreams and Jubilosa.
"Can she even get up, anymore?"
>>147957Sweet Dreams, takes no time to look back to Silver, but takes a little longer to reply:
“She may need some help.”
>>147958Silver gets up off the table, and places a hoof on Jubilosa's shoulder.
"Jubee?"
>>147959“Yeah Huh…” she says, without looking up at him
>>147960"Are you ready to go home now, my lovable puddle?"
>>147961“Puddle, heh heh. Sure.” She says, still not looking up
>>147963“I don’t know…” she slurs
>>147964Silver giggles, and tries to help his Jubee up.
>>147965Silver needs to pull on her claw, and after an unsuccessful effort to get her up, Sweet Dreams steps in to offer assistance. Finally, the two get her on the floor, where she lands on her paws, but almost falls to the ground. Finally, she stands herself up with help from the two ponies.
>>147966"Wow! If I lost lot of tension, how much did you lose?"
>>147967“Tension? What tension? Ah ha, I have none. Not anymore. I am a new… griffin!” She is have trouble standing up
>>147968"You most certainly have none, but how are you going to get into taxi?"
>>147969She looks up at him, with an open beak, and an expression of astonishment. Like it was a question that only now has crossed her mind
>>147970"Think you are able to stand on your own paws?"
>>147972"Perhaps you can keep sitted down?"
>>147973Sweet Dreams:
“
Just walk her to the taxi. Here. I’ll do it.”
Seeet Dreams reaches down and places one of Jubilosa’s forelegs over her shoulder, snd then turns around to Silver. This doesn’t work quite as she had hoped, as Jubilosa still has another three legs that are unstable.
>>147974"Hmm...let me gather our things, then I will help."
Silver goes to do just that, and return.
>>147975Silver goes to get his bag and Jubilosa's bag, with the wine having not survived the trip to the spa. Sweet Dreams is now accompanied by Mollis is trying to carry Jubilosa - each under a foreleg, and Jubilosa now stabilized on her hind legs - as they try to carry her outside. They've only now made progress.
>>147976However he can help, Silver does so.
>>147977With Silver's aid, they make it outside
>>147978"Whew...if you two would rather return inside and close up, I think I can carry her from here. I would not begrude help until we got to taxi, however."
>>147979They both consider the question for a moment, before they both decide to help carry her.
>>147980And so, they carry the helpless griffon, until they can find and hail a cab.
>>147981A taxi is hailed, and with some help, Jubilosa gets in the taxi.
>>147982"Whew! I thank you both for helping with her all way here."
Silver looks through his bags, and gives them both a 20 Bit note.
>>147983This produces a smile and a nod from Mollis, and a moment later, from Sweet Dreams
"Thank You"
"Thank you..."
>>147984Silver smiles back at both of them before he makes to get in the taxi.
"I wish both of you fine mares a good night!
>>147985Mollis:
“Goodnight!”
Sweet Dreams:
“Come back again”
And the taxi is moving before Silver even gives the driver directions
>>147986"W-woah! Alright then, I have not even given you directions yet."
If the driver lets him, he gives the house's address.
You know, Silver is gonna have to remember some of those moves Sweet Dreams did on Jubilosa to make her relax like that.
I should be free tomorrow.
>>147818The Doctor:
"Uh... Should we take the street cars?"
>>147994“Do they regularly stop those at checkpoints?”
>>147995"There... could be soldiers on it. Or a check of IDs..." He says, a bit subdued.
>>147996“Perhaps we should find a way around those.”
>>147997Ply Press steps forward
"You know eh, I could take you in my truck."
>>147998“But if they search the truck, you would get into trouble.”
>>147999Best PonyPly Press is a little uncertain
"Whaaaat are you going to have in the truck you are afraid they will find?"
>>148000“We will need to bring our fugitive along so we know what she needs recovered.”
>>148001“Oh… well… how are you going to get her across town if you can’t risk her being seen?”
>>148003“I might need to use some illusion magic and a touch of persuasion to get us through.”
>>148004“Heh, illusion magic? Is that your talent? Or did you learn that in school?”
>>148005“A bit of both. Why do you ask?”
>>148006“Oh, just making conversation. Best of luck. Try to stay away from the soldiers though. They aren’t always trouble, but if trouble comes, it’s probably from them.”
>>148009Hiss!!!>>148011Ply Press goes over to the side of his house, and turns on a green pickup truck. There’s only two seats, and snow in the truck bed, but it’s otherwise functional.
>>148014Hi Scones! How have you been?
>>148013“I don’t suppose you have a covering and some items we can put in the back?”
>>148014Hello!>>148016“Sure, I have covers from when I do trips to the lumber mills. I even have one from when we lived up north.”
>>148017Sorry to hear that. Are you going to stick around?
>>148018“Perfect. We might be able to use that.”
>>148017>>148017Um…. Any idea what helps? I’m glad to see you’re here. We missed you.>>148019He goes into the house, and comes back with a thick, large, brown cloth cloth cover.
>>148020With that, Spark can cover the passengers and get to the destination.
“Alright. Everypony aboard.”
>>148017It's great to hear that you're alive, Scones. I've been worried pretty about you. I was beginning to think I'd never hear from you again.
Take good care of yourself, m8.
>>148023You are always welcome around here. If you ever need someone to talk to, just ask.
>>148023So long as you're okay I'm glad. Sometimes it's good to unplug from the internet for a while.
I'd be glad to stay in touch though.
>>148023I’m really glad to see you again scones
>>148027No problem. Hey, if you want, we can hang out and have some fun on cytube.
>>147682Though the two mares seem unsatisfied, Iron's body certainly does make an effective barrier between the two of them, sectioning the bed in half.
>>148042Iron simply exhaled softly, ensuring both Cauldron and Sands are properly pressed against Iron's body, feeling this was probably going to be the best thing he could do at the moment: This should at least start the long process of getting accustomed to eachother in the same bed.
>>148045White Sands has long since placed a leg over Iron's body and cozied herself up to Iron. It's Black Cauldron who requires more work.
>>148046Iron wondered how exactly would he try to get the zebra to be more comfortable, deciding to simply lay his snout on Cauldron's neck while pretending to be asleep just to see how she'd react.
>>147987Could the driver who sped away be intending to kidnap Silver? Could it be a surviving Maarist, seeking revenge? Stormfeather Maakie, with unknown intent? Perhaps the Blackhooves, seeking to recruit him once again, or even communists, the ELF, or the Ginovicci family seeking to recruit Silver? For better or for worse, the cause of the sudden acceleration seems more mundane: the overly zealous driver, a somewhat overweight darker feathered griffin with a shorter, sharply hooked beak, has started his vehicle early, either to make better time or because he feared blocking the roadway. He takes Silver's instructions, and says "Okay," looking at him in the rearview mirror, stopping and making a turn.
>>148047The provokes her to roll a bit closer, and place a foreleg over Iron's body around his shoulder.
>>148048pic
>>148050There we go... Iron thought to himself as a small content smile started to spread on his lips after Cauldron's reaction, in turn getting a bit more comfortable and 'accidentally' nuzzling her for doing so.
>>148051“Hehe” she lets out a small giggle, and nuzzles him right back
>>148052In response, he soon tried to once again coax her into a similar position to Sands by pressing her against him, all the while still pretending to be asleep: He felt it was cutting it close, but it'd certainly make him sleep soundly tonight.
>>148053This is probably most easily done by placing a foreleg around her, and pulling her in for a hug.
>>148054Figuring he should've done that from the getgo plus ensuring the same applied to Sands, Iron did so just to feel himself encapsuled between the two mares he's given his heart to.
>>148055To hug Cauldron, Iron must have his back to Sands (though she’s long since had a leg over him). Still, the Zebra is successfully hugged, with her body pulled closer to him. She feels the warmth radiate from her, a sensation that is nearly the reverse of the cooler Sands, though perhaps that keeps him from feeling too warm under the covers.
>>148056Iron couldn't help but audibly sigh in his comfortable position, finally feeling tonight has reached the ending he wanted: Him, Sands and Cauldron, all huddled close together in the same bed. He had to admit, however, the cooler sensation from Sands' coat left him a little puzzled, considering her extra fluff.
Felt like one of those changelings in my dream, he absentmindedly thought to himself as he carefully shuffled his body to better allow for the unicorn's foreleg around his body.
It will be the closest I will get from feeling that chitin on me.Nevertheless, the warmth from the zebra mare serves to derail his trail of thought and soothe his worries for tomorrow, deciding instead to just enjoy the moment he's made for himself as he once again started to drift off to sleep.
>>148058Nah, no chitin today. The fluff that keeps the insides warm, keeps the outer hairs about room temperature. Sands fluffy chest, and a bit of her thigh, presses into Iron’s back, along with the end of her muzzle, which is right around Iron’s neck, breathing around him in soft breathes.
>>148060Of course not. Zero chitin around here at all here.
Iron, engrossed in the balance between Sands' cool aura behind him while Cauldron's warm savanna set his chest ablaze, couldn't help but exhale in utter satisfaction.
It is a good thing I did not give up this feeling, he tiredly thought to himself, relieved to have pulled through his hardships.
I am not going to make this moment my last...Once again, the stallion's drowsiness started to catch up to him, urging him to rest and recuperate from all the stress he's recently been through. Perhaps either of the two mares had one last surprise to jolt him awake?
>>148061It’s not from Sands, who seems to have fallen asleep and slowly warmed. Black Cauldron places a hoof over his belly and lower back, but otherwise leaves stays still.
>>148062Iron's heart started to beat just the tiniest bit quicker at the low angle Cauldron's hoof had decided to nest into, but figured that she wasn't actively trying to work him up or anything like that. The last thing he'd want is to pop a stiffy while sandwiched between the mares so early on. The skies above only know just what sort of consequences that would bring to the table.
Needless to say, the stallion in question decided to simply enjoy the extra bit of intimacy along with the everincreasing warmth from Sands and Cauldron with a satisfied smile.
>>148064No. It's not.
Come by my cytube tomorrow though, when I have time
>>148065ok i'll do that tomorrow.
>>148064>>148067>SneedIt's such a reddit-tier meme I don't even get it anymore. It seems akin to Big Chungus at this point, the added layer of irony not really providing much separation, at least IMO. Or maybe? I don't know.
>>148070>Sneed is a /tv/ meme.I'm unfamiliar with that board so I'm afraid I don't quite know what that might mean.
>>148071Fa/tv/irgins are in my opinion the best shitposters left on 4chan.
>>148072>Fa/tv/irginsKek. That's one I haven't heard yet.
>>148050While he drives, Silver decides to cuddle his griffon.
>>148082She leans back against the seat, and seems on the verge of falling asleep. She is indeed very vulnerable to cuddling, with a long, lanky body covered in fur.
>>148083Not just any fur, impeccably groomed fur. Indeed, he cuddles his soft, sleepy griffon for the ride.
>>148085"Hehe"
She smiles, and giggles as Silver takes a hold of her, leaning into him, though she still seems on the verge of falling asleep.
"Oh Silver..."
She pets his leg with a claw
>>148086Silver gives his lovable, soft griffon a nice squeeze.
"Oh Jubee...thank you so much for sharing this night with me..."
>>148087griffin is squeezed"You're uh, you're welcome Silver" She says, eyes closed
>>148088"Are you going to make it through rest of cab ride? Remember, I still have gift for you waiting at home.
>>148089"Heh heh, that's nice" She leans onto him, nuzzles her beak against his fur, and with her silence thereafter and closed eyes... pretty much answers "no."
>>148090He chuckles and leans more into his griffon girlfriend.
"I love you, Jubee."
>>148091To these deep and meaningful words, she does not react at all. She makes a snore-like sound as she breathes in
>>148092All that's left to do is hold his sleeping griffon in his strong hooves as the cab drives them home.
>>148093Silver holds her as they drive down a main street, and then to Friesian, leading to Cherry Hill, and finally to the house as the taxi comes to a stop
"Is this your residence?" The griffin asks
>>148094Silver nods to him, and pays him his fare.
"Thank you so much for taking us."
The unicorn shakes his date a little.
>>148095"You're welcome," slurring the "you're" to sound like a "ya," and with an accent vaguely suggestive of a Wingbardian extraction.
"Huh"
Jubilosa opens her eyes and looks around
"We're here?"
>>148096"Yes we are, dove. Are you ready to go inside and sleep in our bed?"
>>148097"Yeah. Sure" She says, starting to stand on her legs
>>148098Silver gets ready to help her if she has trouble standing.
>>148099She manages, with the help of Silver's hoof, to stand up, and out of the taxi, back to the house
>>148100"You are doing good, only little bit more to go."
>>148101She makes it to the door.
>>148103Silver opens it for her, both as it's polite and he's not 100% sure about her motor skills.
>>148081I am here, but I also feel Iron's paused for the time being.
>>148106We can advance Iron, probably
>>148105The door is opened, and Silver sees there is one light on downstairs in the kitchen, and one upstairs, but otherwise the lights are off.
>>148107Eh, I can wait until Silver finishes up. Don't want to mess with the timeline just in case.
wink wink >>148108But we probably could advance Iron though
>>148109We could... but dream sequences might spiral into its own thing if we take too long, though.
>>148107"Can you make it rest of way on your own, Jubee?"
>>148110I can try. It probably won't be tonight though because of limitations from work
>>148111"Sure I can make it..."
>>148112Nah. I'm probably going to sleep in about an hour, so we should just wait for tomorrow.
>>148118“I can make it…” she repeats.
>>148121"Alright."
Silver lets go of his griffon.
>>148122She wobbles a bit, and maybe for a moment Silver thinks she may fall backwards, down the wooden steps. But she stabilizes herself, and stands up straight.
>>148124"I'm careful" She says
From upstairs, a head pokes out of the room on the left nearest the Bannister.
>>148125Silver looks to see who it is.
>>148127The light from behind the head obscures all details, but the triangular ears and the room the head is coming from implies it's Mala.
>>148129"Hello Mala. We are back from date."
He smiles at his friend.
>>148131He slowly moves out until his profile is along the bannister, with a high shoulder, and lower hindquarters.
"Hi." is all he says.
Jubilosa walks in, slowly, and still on all fours.
>>148133Silver looks towards the light in the kitchen.
"Who else is up?"
>>148134"Uh, it's only Lu and the pony... both are asleep."
>>148136"I was just curious about light on in kitchen."
He follows Jubilosa's path up the stairs.
"I think Jubee and I are going to bed, too."
>>148138He stops near Mala, and pats his head.
"I have couple of places we can go tomorrow, if you want."
>>148140His head and ears perk up. His tail, a silhouette against the yellow-lit background of the bedroom through the open door, begins to sway.
"Really? Yes!"
>>148182"You and I are going to find some work together tomorrow, and if we have time, I know of couple colts who might like to meet you. They have been through lot, but they are really nice and are not associated with Hoebuck at all."
>>148184"Work? What kind of work? And colts? I haven't been around colts since... well, I was a cub."
>>148185"Well, it depends on who gives it, but hopefully it either pays well or has good chance for reward."
He smiles, and pets Mala some more.
"I think you will like them, and they should like you if you are still as friendly with them as you are with me. Your fluffiness should help, too."
>>148186Silver pets him on the top of the head between his ears. He lowers his head, closes his eyes, and lowers his ears as this happens. His fur is very long, and somewhat thick. The hairs themselves are course, but as a whole have a spring to them that makes them... what's the word?
"I hope they will like me... I haven't had that much success..." He raises his head up
"You think I'm... fluffy?"
Weekend is free. Now I just have to survive that long.
>>148211"You do not think your coat is fluffy?"
>>148212"I... haven't really thought of myself in that way." He looks down.
But after a moment, he looks back up to Silver, and gives a small smile.
"It does sound like a good day tomorrow."
>>148213Silver pats Mala on the head again.
"It will be, friend."
>>148214Mala looks up at Silver contentedly, lightly wagging his tail
