Welcome back to thread number like 5 or 6 of Occupied Equestria, a My Little Pony RP based heavily upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and using the mechanics of D&D 3.5, and set in South-East Equestria after it has been conquered and split between the Changelings and a foreign fascist power

Onyx is cleaning glasses, Spark has secured a contract to clear a quarry of Zombies for a real estate developer, Silver is eating meat, Ash and Iron are trying to raid what they believe to be a gangster's den, and Dark Star is holding hooves.

I am bored, so I think I will write about things that never were

In the scenes on the docks, I had intended there to be more explosions of the warehouses. Specifically, I placed a fire truck and fire crew as being the first to arrive on the scene. Ash is described as seeing a fire truck, and there is a fire truck on the map. I figured there would be an explosion in the burning warehouse that would kill a pair of firefighters, so as to make the burning of the warehouse feel more important and consequencial. However, a number of dice rolls failed to produce a critical failure, so that didn’t happen. Then I thought that the fire truck would be shot at by Marecuse. But then I realized that doing so would be unnecessary and attract unwanted attention, which Marecuse would be too smart to do. She also didn’t shoot at the first police officer she saw (an unarmed one), and in fact, didn’t kill any pony until police officers with guns were pointing them at Ash (whom she identified as a ‘friendly’). I sort of feel like I missed out on the chance to make Marecuse seem truly evil

Marecuse would have been warm and enthusiastic in talking about subversive activities, and easily annoyed and bitchy when talking about.... literally anything else. She would have been more focused on work and more introverted than Redclaw, with a more task oriented approach to the revolution than Redclaw’s conception of it as a moral crusade. If that “seduce Marecuse” plan had been attempted, she would have been immediately skeptical about any request for her to go to a secluded area that did not have a solid reason. She would have remained serious and cold to any flattery, with no laughter and at most a smile. She would have no problem with a proposition to have sex from a guy she met a minute before, with her concerns centering on her uniform being messed up and the limited time before they needed to leave. She ultimately would have agreed, under the condition that it took less than 10 minutes, and the stallion would not pull-out and risk getting fluids on her coat or uniform - threatening consequences if fluid did get on her coat or uniform. She would have made remarks about having sex on the voyage over, and hoping to get a lover later the same night. I was happy to be able to describe her room on the ship as being altered so that items of furniture were perfectly positioned to be centered to the wall, so she could be characterized as OCD even after her death.

If the scene in the mill had been replayed with the cylinder thrown at Marecuse, I would have given a non-proficiency penalty and strength penalty because it’s an awkward object to throw. If it had hit her, it may have done enough damage to hit her. I’m the more likely even that it missed, Dark Star would have successfully shot it to release gas. That would not have caused the canister to explode. Marecuse would have looked back and identified Dark Star, and probably Spark, and menaced then with her gun. She would have realized that shooting her gun at them would risk detonating the gas, and moved out of the warehouse and away from the gas. She probably then would have focused on getting guards to go after Dark Star and Spark. I am not sure she would have gone down to Ash’s position, since she would have wanted to kill Dark Star and Spark, as well as alert guards to hostile infiltrators. I wanted to give her a line of death dialogue, where she say something like “just as the worker honey bee dies to protect her hive, so too do I die for my cause. You have done nothing more here today than kill a single insect of a vast and angry swarm.” Ideally this would be said in character as the communist, so it would have served as a signal of her adherence to a collectivist ideology that sees individuals as of little value and easily sacrificed for the good of the whole, while also taunting the party members by belittling their accomplishment in killing her. I eventually gave part of this line to Blue Skies

Actually, I stepped out because I was watching a movie at the theaters with family. I knew exactly how that scene would play out. Cauldron would slap Iron or throw her drink on him, and Iron would say something stupid that would provoke at least one half dozen large, burly gangsters to fight him
