Welcome back to Occupied Equestria, an RP set in a conquered Equestria, using D&D 3.5e mechanics, and based in large part on the My Little Pony mod for Hearts of iron 4, Equestria at War
The party has successfully stopped the Communists of Baltimare from importing guns and foreign advisers in preparation for a revolt. They have also raided a Griffin freighter involved in arms trafficking, and are prepared to leave and end their long night.

"I am nopony interesting, Mr. Prancesco. As for what I want, I have heard many rumors and stories about so-called massacre at pier last night. Some have pointed hooves at police, some at you and your gang. I would like to hear what you think of incident. Help set record straight, so to speak."

"Bah! We didn't do much but offer protection on the scene for a client, and a few trucks. We were just going secure a couple warehouses, then secure them the next day after some one else stocked them, and provide lookouts at a safehouse in the city. No, I tell you resolutely, it was not me. I doubt the police could have executed it either"

So far, yeah, I'm enjoying it. Silver, being the only one of the group who wasn't at the pier when y'all killed all those commies, is trying to piece together on his own what happened.

I feel like the GM is going to call Iron out to you as a possible option of regrouping. After all, you're asking the people that I worked for after making the capo shit his pants. Pretty sure they would consider me a possible liability since I don't respect higher-ups that much, or that mare that stopped the fight either.

Personality I definitely have to work on, but I've already got most of his backstory figured out. I just thought it would be better to wait to explain it when it comes up rather than to just word vomit all over.

I should say by "word vomit" I mean just going into a grandiose dialogue spree about his origins and what his life has been like with little to no provocation. I'm fine with explaining things OOC if someone has a question.

"Last night I was... Shall we say, a bit aggressive. The active partner in the relationship. And it makes me feel... kind of like a wolf hunting down lambs. An innocent, little virgin lamb. But I consider myself a romantic and, well, a mare hunting down stallions? That's not romantic at all. I want to be the passive one in the relationship. One who is given love and affection. One to whom courting gestures and romantic overtures are made. I saw what you did yesterday with the Communists. You don't need to impress me more than you already have. I only need to want me and make me know it. So you tell me how you feel. I'll take what you want to give, and I think you've seen what I have to give."

"Back in olden times, in places like Yakyakistan, there was this group known as the 'Buggee.' This was a particular Changeling Hive that had this practice of raiding traveling caravans. What they would do is find a caravan travelling between cities, and join it as if they were just new members. And the merchants would be unawares. The caravan would travel on, and eventually have to stop for a night at a point between towns. After the merchants went to sleep the Buggee would come out, and by the light of the full moon would slaughter every merchant and take their wares. Now, that particular hive was crushed long ago. But you don't need to be a shapeshifter to make that tactic work. Simply walk into a group that is relatively unsuspecting, pose as new members, and then attack when they are are vulnerable. Maybe that is what happened there.
Or maybe the answer is simpler. A pony dropped a cigarette in the wrong place, and that started a fire which created tension between the weapons sellers and the buyers."

Iron is or was actually basically considered to be a member of the Waterfront gang as a faction, or at least have his foot in the door. For instance at the guarded warehouse. Iron was recognized by Cauldron, and thus it was easier for the group to pass on through, whereas Dark Star's lies about being Communists weren't going to help him that much at the checkpoint because the ponies he was talking to were not Communist
For another instance, the cannery. This is actually an operation run by the Waterfront gang which iron has done work for and has (had) a contact in. Iron could variously, through Black Cauldron, get her to use her contacts to simply let them through the front door, plan a secret backdoor operation, or inadvertently tip the whole gang off that they are about to be robbed and so set a trap or move from that location
I like to reuse NPCs and story pieces because I think that that makes you feel like you are getting to know the world, and because it gives you a sense that the actions you take in the world have meaning. If the pony you are talking to today is the same one you met yesterday, and they behave differently today because of that, then you can feel like what you did yesterday actually did something in the world.
>>74520
Generally what you need is a set of proclivities or motivations that affects the way they interact with the story.
Iron wants to bully people. This helped him because it lead him to do work for the Waterfront gang, which is all about bullying people that are actually weaker than him.
Dark Star wants to advance Fascism. This immediately lead him to the Black Hooves faction, who hired him first to spy on Communists, and then to destroy a communist operation.
Ash wants to help the unfortunate. This lead her to a group of nuns at an orphanage, who have a problem with the Waterfront gang
I tried to recruit Onyx into the Communist faction, but he turned that down
Silver actually does have a sympathy already, and that is his Restorationist sympathies. Maybe it's just a problem with how I have written the story, but in the area of Baltimare, the restorationists are pretty passive, and mostly go along with the Blackhooves. The nuns Ash contacted were actually Restorationists with an issue with the Blachooves, but the political side of that was not explored.

I'm pretty sure I could still be in, but the method should tip the leader that he's a loose cannon. I guess you can say Iron is one of the more expendable memebers, even though he successfully completed his mission with flying colors.

The situation on the docks had the party approaching from the East, giving the area an "East is up" map. This cannery is on the south side of the bay, so North is up, and Iron and Ash are now to the south of the facility, as they approached from the west. The far side of the cannery seems to be an entrance for workers. The side here is brick, and there are a few windows to the side of the entrance and on a floor above it

The rectangular building has four sides. The west side has a road that goes to a door that a truck could fit through, besides a regular door next to it for ponies. Two ponies are by that entrance. The South side has loading bay with three doors trucks can back into and be loaded from. The East side has the aforementioned worker's entrance. The North side is on the bay itself, with a pier that goes out and currently has a trawler moored to it

It could be that the Restorationists are currently more easily affected by the Black Hooves' tactics and subjugation than the other factions. After all, I imagine most Restorationists are just normal ponies - former Equestrian citizens - who still hold a love for their lost nation and the Princesses who ruled it, unlike members of the other factions. It could also be that they view the Black Hooves as the lesser of three evils. The communists want to establish an independent democratic socialist state in South Equestria in the same vein as Stalliongrad, and are known to use violence, threats of violence, and coercion to get their way. And the changelings are, well, the changelings. Compared to those two, New Mareland, while still disagreeable, is the certainly better option.
His first suggestion actually makes him look back to his time during the war, and his experiences with how the changelings operated covertly. Scout, infiltrate, probe, divide, destroy. It isn't too far off from reality, and, at least to Silver, with as much tension as there is in Baltimare, it would make sense. "Yes. This does sound like typical changeling operation. I hope against all hope it is not, for that is worst possibility of all, but it fits what I know." He pauses while he further considers the situation. "I know you said you can not disclose who your clients are, but, this client, is it group that is easy to divide? Large, prone to infighting, anything of that nature that would make it easy for changelings to infiltrate?"

To the left of the truck door is a closed black door that is elevated about two feet above the ground, accessed by an equally elevated concrete platform with a small steps leading up to it. A red pegasus stands next to the pedestrian door, and a green unicorn stands on the opposite side of the road, to the right of the truck door. Both are wearing brown uniforms that must be guard uniforms

The red pegasus takes Ash and and Iron around, with the green pony staying in his place, although mostly watching Iron and watch the red pony's back. They arrive at the entrance, and go through. At the entrance is a small waiting room that leads into a hallway. Past an open door that is evidently to a break room, the pony leads them into a hallway on the left, that leads to a room with a mare at a desk outside. the red pony tells Ash "this is the foremare's office." He says to the mare there, evidently filling the role of a secretary, "she says she is looking for somepony and wants to meet the foremare"
He leaves and leaves Ash with the secretary

Mules abd dinkeys are only seen in about three episodes of the TV show with no homeland or kingdom, and are not in the Hoi4 mod, so I am basically omitting them. In this story, the jungle natives represent the Nuhuatl peoples of Mexico, who are the descendants of Aztecs and basically Mexican Native Americans. I have contemplated having NPCs occasionally refer to Natives as “Indios,” which is a Spanish Mexican racial slur for native Mexicans

I will admit, it was a lot of spoiler text for an IC post.
"I fought in Great War against changelings. I know enough to know their propaganda is not necessary. If they are here, then we are all in deep trouble: you, me, Restorationist, Communist, Fascist, it will not matter."

"The only business I have with politicians is to make them stay out of my business. The War shut down shipping routes and caused some clients and employees to be drafted, but besides making some items impossible to export or import, making some more available, and some more profitable to sell on the black market, not much has changed around here. They didn't even bother to change the mayor or police chief after the war."

With that, he feels somewhat more satisfied, even if he still doesn't know who or what caused the incident at the pier yet. But at the same time, he's grown slightly worried by the talk he had. Changelings...Equestria struggled just to keep them from overrunning their positions during the war, and that was before New Mareland invaded and turned it into a two front war. Prancesco might have scoffed at the idea that the changelings could be this far east, but he knows what they're capable of, how they operate, what will happen if they're already entrenched in the various factions around the city.
He tries to shake his head clear of his troubles. It won't do him any good to get all worked up about just yet. He looks up at the sun, trying to judge what time of day it is now.

2:00 PMish I think. The Baltimare Governate does not share a border with the Changeling Empire, although you would need to pass it by sea for almost any sea based trade with Griffonia

As they leave the waiting room, they see that two uniformed guards are standing in the hallway behind them, in the direction of the factory floor. Towards the entrance and to the sides are no fewer than three guards. One of them has a big black boxy looking gun of a make Ash has never seen before. None of them say anything to Ash or to Iron, and they stand in positions that would effectively block the path were she going any other direction than out, but do not block their exit from the structure
>>74619
It's on the exact opposite side of town, and in fact isn't even actually in town. I was under the impression Ash would go back to the orphanage where she could have gotten a ride from Priestess Sundew

"Oh, I like to go to bars and... You know I haven't had that much free time since I got here, since the Blackhooves have been working me fairly hard. I enjoy my work. Before I came here I would like to do racing competitions with the other pegasi, see who could fly the best or fastest. I rarely won but it was something to do with the other pegasi. I would try to hunt wolves and other creatures on some occasions"

She can deduce that the Cannery in question must be the Lunar Ocean Cannery in the town of North Point. Does she know how to get there?

One idea takes hold above all others: meat. It would repulse most other ponies, as it's still taboo across most of Equestria, but he's grown rather fond of the flavor of beef roast over the past few years.

A shop that sells meat foods exists, although he has to journey a little further away towards the east to find it.
This shop seems to cater predominantly to Griffons, although Diamond Dogs can also be found in here. He is able to get a seat and a griffon waiter

A couple ponies prancing by give him dirty glances through the window... Even though he is not the only pony inside this particular shop. At least he's not a Changeling.

Iron is not that bothered. "We can go inside. I will just jump over the chain link fence and buck the lock there. After that, it should be easy to explore for clues." Iron starts unstrapping all of his armor for that inmediate jump.

Not nearly as funny as Iron rolling a 1 on a jump roll, getting caught on the fence, finally getting over, bucking the door open, and then realizing that he could have just bucked the door open from his side without needing to jump over to the opposite side of the fence to do it

I mean, it takes 4 minutes to remove Full Plate, and 4 minutes to put it back on (plus, you take the hasty donning penalty for doing it without help). In that amount of time, she would have run out of patience.

The thing that amazes me about it is the felt need to jump over the fence in order to buck it. Like I get that there is probably some sort of logic behind it concerning which side the lock is on, but if we are being real, it's just as easy to buck open on one side as the other
