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

>>80125"we can head to the tavern."
>>80130"where could we get some of those?"
>>80130She smiles
"We can talk about the political fate of the world over a few drinks, yes"
>>80132"If what you want to do is set things on fire I would recommend some kerosene or gasoline"
>>80132"General stores, to best of my knowledge, sell oil. Alchemists might also be good place to look. They do tend to know what explodes good."
>>80133"I...would not object to this, I think. You are buying."
>>80129Iron shakes his head. He relents, not wanting Ash to wake up just after her faint. 'You are the judge? Then I am a god,' he sarcastically thinks of himself
>>80130>>80131Iron looks at the mission area marked on the map and compares it to the abbey they're in. "That is pretty far away. Do you have any camp set up to prepare? It seems like a serious mission. What are we facing? Any particular equipment that is needed for this mission?" He looks at Star. "If you want, we can speak about it at the bar."
>>80135"yea we have a camp at one of the farms near the quarry."
>>80137"Good. How about the other two questions?"
>>80133>>80134"Alright i need to head to some general stores before we head to the farm."
>>80134"I've never bought drinks for any pony before. Even myself. But a first time for everything"
>>80139"What shall you buy?"
>>80135"you might not believe me but there are, walking corpses and reanimated skeletons walking around down there. and we have already obtained some holy water."
>>80135"There are undead. Zombies, skeletons, ghasts. Maybe mummy, maybe necromancer. Bring holy water, potions, whatever you can think of." He thinks some more about the mission. "Maybe meat, if you can find some. We might be able to lure ghasts with it, if any more have escaped."
>>80137"Ah, I had forgotten. Yes, there is farmhouse camp we can stay at."
>>80139"It would be good idea, yes."
>>80140"It will be great old time. It is always better to drink together."
>>80140"Kerosene. and some grenades."
>>80141>>80142Iron scrunches his face in disgust. "Ugh, I heard about them back in the jungle. They are the worst. Do you have anything to block the smell? They should come in handy."
>>80143"I can assure you you won't find grenades at a general store"
>>80142"With that I am in wholehearted agreement"
She hands him back the empty container
"So... you're trying to... clear undead? Isn't that a job for like a church or something?"
>>80145"yea i figured that."
Dark Star laughs
"could i Requisition some from the Party?"
>>80147She stands up
"For what purpose?"
>>80146"Oh Dark Star, you don't need to do that"
>>80144"Well, I do have magic to pinch off snouts. But smell is...almost supernatural in nature. I do not think you can block it so easily."
>>80145He takes the bottle, not wanting to litter. "There are not many holy orders like that left. Paladins are very rare breed, these days. Once, before my time, perhaps you could find Holy Orders in Severyana, but that is because we have historically been very religious, compared to rest of Equestria. But Reds have seen to their final demise. Only ones I have ever even heard of existing anymore are in Northern Griffonia, fighting against undead hordes of that Dread League. Even then, all I have heard are rumors, or rumors of rumors."
>>80148"to blow up some zombies? would that be allowed?"
>>80148"No, its fine. I've got it."
>>80149Iron grunts. "Great. Well, I guess it will have to do. I will await for the order to head out."
>>80150"Do you say that because you don't want me paying for it or because you don't want me buying drinks for a stallion?"
>blow up zombies"Well, it would be difficult to justify... maybe if they were purchased formally"
>>80149"Oh, there are some. They've been decimated by budget cuts and mobilization, but never wiped out entirely..."
>>80152"Hmm. Well, it is good they still exist at least." After a couple more seconds, another thought hits Silver. "Just
how much can you drink, exactly? You drank that whiskey like it was nothing."
>>80154Iron leans on Silver and whispers. "Pretty sure it is a coping mechanism." He retreats back to his original spot.
>>80155Silver does, indeed, know that feel.
>>80153Blue gives him the look of pic related
>>80154"I try to drink only on social occasions, where such behavior is normal. Alcohol is a dreadful drug, and I only drink in quantity when I need to be drugged"
What iron said >>80157"Fair enough. Still, you carry yourself like practiced drinker. It would certainly be entertaining to see which of us could hold their drink best."
>>80158"Bring
him along, and I promise you I could beat you. Well, depending on your definition of 'holding.'"
Iron lays down and gently strokes Ash's mane from below her.
>>80160Now it's Silver's turn to give her a grin. "I would like to see you
try."
>>80158>>80160"ill get in on this to. sounds fun."
>>80162Silver unfortunately sees that the alcohol is, indeed, having some effect on her.
She narrows her eyes at him competitively
"I can beat you"
>>80164"Hmm. Then perhaps we will have to see if you can."
>>80163Silver turns to Dark Star. "How about it, then? After mission, we go and have old fashioned drinking contest, all three of us. See who is first to pass out, throw up, or otherwise give in."
>>80163>>80164>>80165Iron is raising his eyebrow in silent judgement.
>>80165Silver is getting the impression that Blue would not, as a matter of fact be the winner of any such contest
"Excuse me"
She canters off
>>80166"You're caressing the mane of an unconscious mare. Don't you judge me"
>>80167Silver watches as she heads off. "...I wonder where she is going."
>>80169"Maybe she is looking for a gun to shoot me with when the mission starts. Who knows?" Iron keeps his gentle stroking.
>>80170"I keep a gun on me!" she shouts indignantly
>>80169Down a hallway, then seems to say something to a sister further down
>>80165"Yea im game. ill drink you under the table."
>>80171"Sorry." He lazily shouts back.
>>80172Iron cocks an eyebrow even further. "You may want to change your phrasing there."
>>80172He smiles wide. "Then it is decided. I have not had opportunity to do this in long while. I will look forward to it."
>>80171Silver starts to look a little worried. "I hope she does not cause trouble for herself."
>>80173Silver is confused as to how the phrasing of Star's statement could cause trouble.
>>80173"It's a common expression for out-drinking somepony. Not what I do on a Tuesday night"
>>80172>>80174"Just make sure that
somepony at least is sober enough for sexual activity"
>>80175"Eh. It is what it is. Never heard of it myself."
>>80176Iron cracks a smile. He turns to Star "How many times did she bounce off of your member already?"
>>80176He rubs the back of his neck. "Well, I will certainly try to keep Star conscious, but I can not make guarantees."
>>80175Silver tries to remember what day of the week it is currently.
>>80173"Nah your head is just stuck in the gutter."
>>80174"So am i."
>>80176"ill be able to operate."
>>80177"im a gentlecolt, i dont kiss and tell."
