Welcome to the latest thread of Occupied Equestria. Set six years after season 6, it presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while an Equestrian splinter colony - soured to Princesses notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestruan Southlands, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and even ancient necormancers and dark gods threaten the city and the surrounding regions. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.
In the latest episode, we are starting day 4. Ash is finally getting to sleep after dealing with foals that scarified animals to evil gods, Iron is disappointed to find that the only sex he is getting is in his dreams, Dark Star has declined to have sex, Onxy has discovered the joys of socialized medicine, I don’t know what Spark is doing, and Silver has discovered that when you don’t complete a quest, you don’t get paid for it

>>79050Iron shrugs mentally, maybe one of them can do a little crafting. He pokes one of the nuns.
>>79050While he smokes, he pulls out the Lavender rifle he took from the body of the one EDF corpse to take a closer look at the weapon, checking for any sort of damage that would make it inoperable.
>>79050Does Dark Star have any Dreams?
>>79054Roll Die
>>79053Depending on which rifle, the rifle of the first soldier (Prim Poppy I think) is entirely functional, if needing a cleaning. The rifle of the second soldier also functions, but had minor damage when dropped, most importantly causing the bayonet to bend
>>79052"Oh uh... Hello there" She is polite, if unsure
>>79051It's a language that was widely spoken by one prominent tribe in particular at the time of the sister's ascensions. The language of the Celestials was translated to this language so that the common ponies could hear the words of the Celestials, and it became the language of the Clergy. The merging and migration of tribes, besides linguistic drift, has caused the language to go extinct outside of its use in the clergy
>>79055"Hello." He pulls out the water bison. "Do you think you can make a necklace out of this and some string? It is very important to me and I want to see it at all times."
>>79055So, can I speak it if I choose Celestial?
Sister Ash politely greets each of her sisters as she arrives early for the mass, giving quick appologiee for the ordeal of the previous night.
>>79055It's the first one.Satisfied, he grabs it (ever mindful of the sharp bayonet), puts on his saddlebags, and heads out the door of his room.
"I suppose I have things I need to do, if we are to return to crypts." After stamping out his cigarette on the cold hard concrete, he makes his way back towards the sporting goods store he visited on the previous day.
>>79056Uh.... Pleasant. I can't imagine what pleasant Dark Star dreams would look like, except for some reason I see him as John Wayne shooting griffons
>>79058She may not enter already knowing it
>>79057"Hello," She looks at the water buffalo. "Oh, a nice wood carving you have there. I guess I could ask sister Thyme if she could make this into a necklace for you"
>>79059It takes some time, but he gets there
>>79060"I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you." Iron ponders. "Do you know if she is available at the moment?"
>>79060How about a blowjob from Skies while he shoots some changeling scum, the whole Black Hooves party cheering him on?
Or just memories of his brother, IDK >>79060Hes pretty blue pilled on the Griffion Question. So He would be shooting Ziggers.
>>79060Can she learn it at some point in the story?
I'll select Terran in place of it then.
How does the mass go?
>>79060You know, it just occurred to me that I don't know of many rifles that use .303 ammunition naturally.Silver greets the shopkeeper once he steps in. "Hello again. I was hoping I could get some service for this rifle today, and some ammunition."
>>79061"A small amount of time before early services, yes. Let me take you to her"
Sister Thyme is a nice little brown earth pony.
"I think so. Do you want something glued to the top, or a hole drilled through it?"
>>79062>BrotherThat would be a
bad dream probably
>>79065I assure you it's more common under the circumstances"Alright"
Happy Hunting inspects the rifle
"This is... a military rifle I see"
He cycles the bolt, tests the firing pin, removes the barrel and so forth
"It seems to be somewhat rusted and un-cleaned, but generally functioning. The wood is a bit stained, though I don't know if you care. hat kind of service do you want?"
>>79064Sung in part, spoken in part. Literally everypony except for Ash knows the prayers, so she is left as the lone pony in the room not able to follow along. It involves kneeling, standing, and sitting at various intervals, besides burning of incense. Sundew is yet again the Priestess for the morning mass
>>79063In fairness, because New Mareland now rules over more griffons than its own pony citizens, they have to play nice with the griffons as well... Besides having very large, very scary griffin allies. But shooting Zebras... He can gun down menacing Zebra pirates en mass, though they present enough danger to earn a thrill
>>79066"I want it drilled, but I do not want to hurt the carving too much. If the hole has to be too big, I would rather take this 'glue' you speak of." Iron smiles. "Thank you for your service, by the way. I do not think you are asked many times about making necklaces."
>>79066Sister Ash follows along, observantly.
So what languages can I pick from?
>>79066Probably so. I'm just more familiar with .30-06, .308, and 7.62mm.Silver is very much glad that his inspection wasn't too terribly off, considering his general lack of expertise with firearms. "I would like it cleaned, if it pleases you. If it is not too much more difficult, having unstained stock would also be nice, but it is not necessary."
>>79066"i came to Chew ass and shoot bubble gum."
>>79067"We can have a narrow hole drilled through near the top. You're welcome, I try to teach some of the orphans how to work with wood and make crafts so they can learn skills and develop cutie marks, should that be their talent. I can do this one after Mass"
>>79068Um... I don't know. With regards to the Cleric language, she can certainly learn individual words and rote memorize prayers in a few hours depending on how much. To learn an entire language including grammar would be time consuming, although not literally impossibleShe is able to pick up the times at which the kneeling occurs, at two points in the mass, one towards the beginning, another shortly after the middle
>>79069"Well.... yes, we can clean the barrel. We can apply a varnish to the wood as well. It will take some time to dry, but less than an hour"
>>79070"Yarr! We didn't come for Bubblegum. We came for your mares. Now give em' to us, for I won't be askin' again" Says Black Mane, the dread pirate of the Eastern seas, who sends forth his hench zebras.
>>79073"I doubt some of the colts like just crafting things. Maybe some of them want to show their strength rather than their finesse." Something stood out from that sentence though. "Mass? What is that?"
>>79073Out of the languages that I'm allowed to pick, which would be the most useful for studying clergy and interacting with extraplanar beings?
I've already got Sylvan as a bonus. I wanted a planar-based language.
Sister Ash participates to the best of her ability throughout the rest of the mass.
>>79074"You'd be surprised what colts like to do. Whether it's strength, finesse, speed, each pony has their special talent and their special place in society.
It's a religious ceremony. This is just an earlier one"
>>79076Iron seems to understand. "Is there something I can do while I wait for this event to end here?"
>>79070"More like shoot ass.">>79073He nods. "I would like this."
>>79073Dark Star pulls out a minigun
"not today you Zigger filth"
He Fires on the zebra henchmen
>>79077"Well what do you want to do?"
>>79075I just.... I don't know, I'm trying to think of this in terms of the my little pony world
>>79079>minigunMaybe, but that is a gun that would be introduced 20 years after the year of the setting
>>79078"Alright, we can do it"
>>79080Iron purses his lips. "I actually have no idea." Iron ponders for a bit. "Do you have the map of this city available here? I feel like I may need it for later. I keep getting lost in all the concrete."
>>79080I'll pick my languages later then.
Sister Ash prays throughout the ceremony. By the end, she would have prepared her spells list.
>>79080Well, there is "Pony" Latin, for Ash. And there is the Gatling Gun for Dark Star."How much do you require for this service, might I ask?"
>>79083"Counting the varnish? 10 bits"
>>79081"Why yes, we can get a map for you" She goes through some other rooms
>>79082It is so
>>79080well one of those browning crank guns then
>>79084Iron follows Thyme along, not wanting her to walk so much back and forth for him.
>>79084Silver is even more relieved that it's a cheap price. He puts 10 Bits from his bags onto the counter. "And how much for ammo for this weapon, might I ask?"
>>79085"One bit a clip"
>>79086She leads him to a location where she eventually pulls out a folded paper
"Here you go. A map of Baltimare"
>>79085He mows down the Zebras with impunity
>>79089Arrows can't possibly be as expensive as bullets.
Also, I think I might be ready to turn in for the night.
Goodnight everyone.
>>79090"I thank you, miss Thyme." He bows lightly then takes out 230 bits from his person and hands it over to her. "You have been of great help."
>>79092Suffice it to say, she is utterly stunned
"I'll have your necklace ready in only a couple hours. Thank you"
And should probably decline to accept the gift, but that can be tedious >>79093Iron nods. He then takes the map and studies it for any interesting spots near the abbey. He doesn't want the same incident happening like yesterday. "I can take the map with me, right?"
>>79090I'll assume that was meant for Silver and not for Dark Star.He puts down 10 more Bits. "Then I will take 10 clips of ammunition."
>>79091As it turns out, they're just over twice as expensive.Also goodnight. I think the closest language you're looking for in Ash's case would just be Latin, as that is a thing in this universe. >>79090Dark Star Takes aim at the captain
"Ready to die you watermelon loving fuck?"
>>79095"Yes of course"
I don't know what is 'interesting' and which incident
>>79096"Alright then"
>>79097"Does a Zebra ever truly live?" he asks, and raises his sword
>>79098Incident: Getting lost in the city and couldn't find Ash for a while.Iron decides to search some sort of fighting arena, maybe he can tussle for a bit with someone his size. That should more than enough time for this mass to end.
>>79098With that, Silver is satisfied. "I will be back in one hour, for rifle and ammunition. Thank you for this excellent service."
