Occupied Equestria: Day 4 Afternoon

Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian 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.

"And I told you before that you are the only one for her. You have been and you will be. Do you not even see the way she looks at you? She is very jealous of your attention and affection. If you weren't worthy, she wouldn't have chosen you to begin with. Now tell me what makes you think she has found somepony else?"

To the side of silver opposite Iron. i.e., out of his line of view

"Indeed he did. A bandit queen. It seems she did indeed complete him"

>>83912
She must be fanning him with her great wings, because the air is definitely cooler. She tries to rub around the areas of the scars, careful that she might disturb something sensitive

"Service to something larger and more permanent than the self alone gives purpose. Danger is only an impediment thrown in by a hostile universe. But I really don't won't to shift the subject. You didn't like her only because she was dangerous. That is only the wall of the Hurricane. It was her caring and gentle side - the eye - that made her complete to you"

Iron is a bit taken aback. "It seems more like she was available to have a relationship with him since she could tag along with Silver on his job. From what you and Silver say, she had a gentle side, but I do not see stability in that kind of wild relationship."

They're certainly sensitive, but they don't seem to be painful for him. Silver looks around to see her wings fanning. "Indeed it was. Being around her was like being embraced and cared for by Mother Earth herself. Every moment we were together was like that. It only became more so once we had foals."

He stares in awe at the great feathery masses. "It was learning experience, for both of us. We drew mostly on experiences we had growing up at first, but that did not last very long at all and we decided we needed some better guide. Thank goodness books on parenting exist. And at first, perhaps she was unsure of herself and her ability to see it through, but she got through it. Every day with her foals became like adventure to her. New kind of adventure, to be sure, but seeing it like that really did seem to help. It also helped that, as they grew older and became able to take care of themselves as we were away, we would take time to go out on adventures together. Nothing too dangerous, where there was risk of leaving our foals without parents, just something to mix things up from time to time."

Skies' head moves over and to her left, looking down. As she does so her wings arch up, taller than she is.

"Yes, very much stallion."

He rubs the back of his head as he laughs awkwardly. He blushes, both from her sight of his anatomy and from her teasing. "Most experience I had with parenting at that point was from my father. And while long days apprenticing at his blacksmith shop and exhausting training sessions with swords and other weapons when not working in smithy might have suited me, I do not think it would have suited my foals quite as well. And Storm, her experience with parenting was from, well...from highwaymares. I think we both needed some assistance, in that regard."

He doesn't seem to notice much, once again lost in some memory of her. It's a happy memory, that much is certain when she looks in his eyes.

Iron watches him go out. He hopes for the best, but fears that the worst out of this will happen. He goes back to his armor pile, puts on his leather belt and attaches the bit pounch on it, then he walks outside.

Silver approaches him as he finishes up with the straps on his saddlebags. He seems fairly elated. "Hello Star. How are you doing?"

Iron just opts to go where Ash is currently and stand beside her, not really feeling the best. He may need to apologize later if Skies acts nice, but he doubts that will happen. In the meantime, he just looks at the ground, kicking some pebbles to distract himself from thinking anything that has transpired. From Silver's story to a close call of repeating it, Iron does not have the greatest of moods, but he supposes that will change tomorrow morning.

"That is good to hear." He trots up to lean on the bar with him, staying silent only for a second of seconds before speaking up. "You do not have to worry about me and Skies, you know."

"I will tell you this: I am old stallion. My days of seeking beautiful mares to be with are long over. If I am being honest, they never happened in first place. And Blue skies is indeed beautiful mare. Your beautiful mare. And you are her strong, brave, handsome stallion. I am not. Do not worry about some old stallion who has trouble getting out of bed in morning stealing what is and will always be your mare. You worry about you." He tries his best to sound calming, though he's not sure how much of an effect it's having with his accent in the way.

He puts a hoof under Dark Star's chin, and uses it to turn his head around to look at Blue Skies. "After this is done, I fully expect you to go to her, sweep her off her hooves, kiss her anywhere and everywhere you can, have her give you massage that is twenty times better and far more intimate than mere back rub she gave me, and have long, loving, passionate session of love making and intercourse together. And knowing that you will do this, I will be happy, because you two are great together, and I would do nothing to change that or try to hurt you in any way."

She comes up to and rubs Dark Star with her barrel. She has s definite look and tone of concern
“Dark Star? You’ve been awfully quiet around me. Why won’t you talk to me? Do you not like me any more?”
