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.

Iron will go with Skies' plan since Ash's plan is detrimental to him unless he can restrain the pony asking.

Sister Ash can just go along with whatever. She won't get in the way, even if she doesn't like the plan.

He groans at her touch. She can feel the knots of tension in his body. "I will admit, I have not had much chance to relax."

For the record, the armor and shield are placed next to Silver's bed on the further end of the door, not on him.

Alright, a taxi can take her to the neighborhood. It is in the Western part of Baltimare, in a more developed neighborhood. If she had bothered to read the dossier, she would have found that this guy does not live in the district he represents. It's called "The Antimony," and is surrounded by a very high fence. A Pegasus guard sits at a booth at the entrance of the community

Automobiles should not exist in Equestria
Also, she doesn't have any shekels for cabs. Can't she just run? She is a horse-thing..

Okay, then there's no way she'll get there in time.

Well, Ash will be on pause for the time being, so she shouldn't just teleport out of Iron's sight anytime soon. So can I enter and interact with the other players until she moves again?

She continues the rubbing action with her hooves on his back
"It's a rich neighborhood. Surrounded by high fences and requiring you to get past a guard to enter or leave. The plots are relatively large"

He shivers a little as she slowly works the tension away. "Ahh, that is nice...you are very good at this.
"So, it would be good idea to find other point of entry. Perhaps unguarded section of fence for us to climb over? Or in your case, fly over?"

Iron nods understandingly. "I know that feeling." He remembers Marey's advice. "How come she is rubbing Silver just like that though? Anything happen that I miss?"

She slowly works her way down his back
"You could, to be sure. But if I have learned anything in all my years is that the best way to avoid notice is not to hope that you are never seen or heard, but rather that when you are seen and heard, they think nothing is out of the ordinary"

Iron thinks for a bit. "Keep an eye on Ash. I will go in and see if I can pick up her intentions so I could ease your head a bit If she leaves, then warn me so I can go with her." He then proceeds to enter the building.

"Any of those could work. You just need a reason to be in their that is valid and believable. I guess to enter the property we could just find a rich guy who lives in their who will sponsor us and let us in. Maybe trick a different pony into thinking we are a maintenance crew and they get the guard to let us in. And yes, probably just showing a police badge will be enough. But that would still need a story so Comte doesn't get suspicious"
>>83850
She takes the extra time to work on the knot
"I am expert at bluffing. Of course I can create a story. Dark Star can as well"

The sensation of the wingtip makes him snort a little. It must be his barrel is a bit ticklish. It's in a similar state to his back, perhaps more so from the increased muscle mass compared to his back. He rubs the frog of his hoof against the wingtip to get a clearer idea of how it feels. "Thank you, Skies."

The very tip is simply a set of feathers, all fairly long. Before that is an almost finger like appendage at the end of a limb, with bone in the middle and surrounded by muscle. It is fairly soft, although in the way that a thin portion of her leg would be
"How long have you been alone?"

Iron shrugs. "Eh, I did try to tell them not to fight me, and you were not much help either, but I did fight them, and that is a good enough reason to massage him." He puts on a smirk. "Just do not mess up the room too much." He just sits on a corner, watching the scene
>>83865
Iron just stares. What is she doing? Is she asking how long he's been single?

He thinks for a few seconds. During that time, Skies can see more clearly a bit of the dark dorsal strike running along his back, from his mane down to his dock. His clothing obstructs her vision of all but the part near his mane, however. "26 years, if I am not mistaken."

Silver chuckles a little. He unbuttons his top to help her in her goal, exposing more of the stripe. "I was only 24 when I met Storm. It has been two years longer than I had been old at that point."

The more direct contact seems to really work for massaging the stress away. He relaxes his back into her hooves as he stuffs a foreleg into his mouth to stifle a small moan. "Yes, I suppose so. Though I do not believe I have ever used 'cute' to describe it before."

I'll pretend you're whispering back.
"You saw Star go out, right? He is getting jealous of Skies touching Silver and I decided to come back in to ensure she is not going for a love triangle here where Star is the cuckold. So, why on earth is she massaging a stranger to right about now?"

I whisper back.
"It has to do with the story he told us no doubt. She respects him more now. She is just doing a favor for somepony that went through hell. But no need to spy, I will go tell Dark Star myself."
I head out and walk to Dark Star.

She briefly comments
"hehe, the way you moan like that it sounds like something much more intimate than a backrub"
Then she responds
"Oh, your little bandit queen? You though she above above being 'cute'?"

"I can not help it, you are very good. You will have to give Dark Star massage after this. I am certain he would love it. Especially if it was 'intimate' for him." He looks like he doesn't really know how much more relaxed his muscles could get, it's like he's in complete bliss.
"I do not know. I do not remember using 'cute' very much in past. But, well...I suppose, yes, she was cute. She was pretty. She was beautiful. She was...all of that."

It's a pleasing sensation to Silver. "OOOoooOOOooo…" He tries to get around the effect it's having on his voice as he starts to speak. "I do not know what I could say about her to do her justice. She was...stunning. Her sleek grey coat carried all danger and beauty of storm with it, her blown-back black mane was like night sky right before lightning struck, like it was sucking all light and energy into one single strike. And her mane and tail had this golden stripe, shaped like lightning bolt, running through them. When she flew, you could have sworn she conjured lightning behind her. Her cloud-grey wings had gradient to them, like camouflage in clouds. They shined when wet from rain and dew, and if she flew in sunlight just right, she could form rainbow like it was fresh after rainstorm. And her eyes...they held hurricanes in them, beautiful blazing glory, fury of thousand thunderstorms. But behind this fire, you could find peace, and calm. It was literally eye of storm."
>>83897
Silver gives him a jokingly cross look. "I am not yet so old I can not control my bodily functions."

Skies continues removing clothing from Silver, and falls to his right side opposite Iron as she now rubs the side of his barrel. Silver can feel cool air run past his now exposed body and it sends a shiver through him. As Skies rubs and kneeds him, she says
"Oh, so you loved her because she was dangerous? Now I see why nothing less than a bandit queen would have satisfied you"

"Well, it was certainly not to death, if we both lived. It was close, but we both made it."
>>83924
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."
>>83927
"I can assure you, I am very much stallion."

That was a thought, not spoken
Iron does not understand. "Forget I asked. I will be outside. I will hear your story later." He walks out of the room and outside.

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."
She looks back at him directly in the eyes, and laughs
"Sounds like you faced a greater challenge raising foals than you did against bandits. Needing to resort to books?"
>>83929
"Oh come on, don't you want to hear it?"

Iron shakes his head. "Not now. I feel like there is something terribly wrong with this whole story. After the mission and maybe one more spar with Silver in which he wins, I would feel more inclined to hear it." Iron keeps rubbing his temple. "Do you have water by any chance?"

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."

Iron is trying really hard not to keep commenting, avoiding to earn a headache from all of these bad choices Silver has done so far.
At least to him, of course. Remember I liked your story OOC.

"Blue Skies is your mare. Don't forget that. And don't let anypony forget that. I know you were reeling from that fight with Iron, but she left Iron have it when he went after you. She loves you."

"I made my own comments about how the complacency of the Equestrian military or Silver's excessive trust in his captive, but really those are all besides the point. What matters is how it made Silver feel"
>>83934
"I don't think I would be any good with foals either. My experience is similar. Sparing with wooden swords at the public schools and the like.
Enough about me though, it's obvious that you two managed through these trials and tribulations as surely as anything"
She keeps rubbing

"As I said in catacombs: together we were stronger than we were alone, and we could handle anything. Even most challenging trial of all: parenting."
Silver lets out a contented sigh, both from the care he's receiving from Blue and the joy he's getting from talking about his wife. He closes his eyes as he focuses on the sensations caused by her ministrations.

She laughs at this
He can feel her hooves on the right side of his back rubbing, then closer to the center, then two smaller and softer appendages that can only be from her wings. It is quieter now with Iron having left the room. He can feel another chill from the air

"Just about everything about Silver's story is a trainwreck, that is what!" Iron exclaims. "For the love of anything that is holy, he willingly went into the path of destruction with that mare!" Iron chains his emotions some more. "Sorry. *pant* Sorry. I just cannot deal with how nonsensical Silver's story was." Iron looks around. "Do not tell Silver about this, okay?"

The sensation of her wings sends a couple shivers down his spine. He wiggles around a bit, trying to get into a more comfortable position. Once he does, he returns to looking content and relaxed. He's fine with the calm and the quiet. It lets him enjoy the brief reprise.

The floor is a little hard, assuming he is on a floor. He can smell the lavender scented wash she uses to clean her fur and feathers. She continues, now focusing on the left side of his barrel. She allows him silence for some time, at least a minute or more, then adds
"It's okay to still love her."

"And that is precisely the problem here. It is that it is not fiction." Iron breathes in some more. "Do you know how many folklore tales warned me about chasing mares that fight for a living? They all end up dead. Both mare and stallion. It is like he never listened to none of them!" Iron reels in again, shaky breaths. "I just cannot handle it."

"That is just thing, Blue." He looks right at her, eye-to-eye. She can see the conflicting emotions in his eyes. Joy, sadness, anger, loss, love. All mixed together, each one trying to get to the surface.
"I still do. Every day, I still love her."

"I know! If he did, he would have dodged that stone, not embrace it!" Iron is breathing heavily. "And embrace he did, falling down the incline, losing his one chance to have a fulfilling life with his mare because of her past!" He walks to Spark's side. "It does not matter if he killed her killers, because the deed was done already. He is so stupid!" Iron punches the floor in a fit. He pants for a bit.

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. Silver and Storm, together, in a time when everything was much more simple, when they could be the only living ponies on the planet and neither of them would have had a care in the world. "I still love her..."

Iron deadpans at Spark. "I highly doubt it. I bet they were scarred for life by the loss of her mother!" He shouts for a bit, hitting the floor a couple more times. After this, he pants for a bit. "Just... stop talking about it. I do not want to think about it anymore."

Iron feels the pats coming from Star, not really doing much to calm him down but does not make him more angry either.

"Why should I? It is clear you are mad at the events of somepony's life instead of caring for his misfortune. As much as you wanted his story to be different, it did not. He doesn't ask for approval of what he did, but now you know more about him. He was willing to share a piece of himself with you and you are acting like this?"

She places hooves near and around his shoulder, and comes in close. Like she is about to kiss him. She is content to stay still there, for as long as Silver is content to reminisce

It lasts for a few seconds more, until she sees Silver and Storm kiss in his memory. When he snaps out of it, he looks fairly confused about how close Blue has gotten, and how they've managed to get into a position of nearly embracing.

She remains as close to him for several seconds after it is clear he is confused. Then she backs away just an inch and says "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable"

Iron shakes his head. "I know. It is selfish to think what I think. I am quite sure Silver have crossed the same line in his past." He calmly breathes. "That is why I did not say it in front of him. It is such a simple mistake he could have avoided but he fell for it, and he is paying the price." He chuckles sadly. "It sounds way worse when I say it out loud." He breathes some more. "Please, do not tell Silver about this. It will just open up old wounds that he does not want to remember. Do you understand me?"

"No, it is fine, I am just, uh...unsure of how we got in this position, or why." He looks idly around the room, thinking about how awkward a position it is for them if someone were to talk in.

Iron is unconvinced. "Sure, 'helping' him." He moves towards his armor, trying to look for his bit pouch and witholding more dirty comments in his head.

"Yeah, sure." He fiddles some more. He mumbles something about his bit pouch being hard to grab in-between his armor pieces. "Just do not go too far with your stress relief or you are in for a downward spiral of negative emotions later on."

"...I was not planning on it?" He tries his best to sound genuine, even going so far as to use his telekinesis to try to help him get at his Bit pouch.
>>83980
He laughs a little of his own accord. "No, you might not quite be bandit queen. But you are Blue Skies. And for Star, that is perfect to him."

"Right, right." A big pause led by Silver's efforts to find the bit pouch. "Just do not do something stupid or Silver's fate is sealed to have a bad ending, dragging him to an even darker path than the one you want to 'comfort', okay?"
>>83981
Iron nods at Silver. "You better not, or your past will repeat again. Trust me on this." He takes the bit pouch a little harder than usual and proceeds to go to the bartender, asking for some water. He sits at a stool, looking at the counter with dead eyes. He hopes it was a misunderstanding.

"Shhhhhh…" He takes one of her forehooves in his own, and looks her right in the eyes again. "You are good pony, and beautiful mare, both inside and out. Dark Star loves you for who you are, not for what he thinks you are." He holds her hoof up a little. "Just be you, and he will love you from now until your final days together."
>>83983
Silver can only wonder in confusion on what he meant by that.

She looks at him, more or less sadly for a period of time. She replies "Good pony? That most certainly isn't what they called me when they ran me out of Nimbusia. I am not so sure. Dark Star told me he's never had a marefriend before. I sspect that he has somepony else in mind. Some grand fantasy about the perfect mare. And I can't give him that"

Skies' answer makes him stop in his tracks right at the door. That's strange. He slowly turns his head around. "Yes, precisely. Why would you open up like that?"

"Then what would you call what you just did? Even though you are busy mare, with lots to do, even though we do not see eye-to-eye on some things, mostly politics..." He looks a bit amused as he reaches the next part. "...even though I am just some old bonehead, you still took time out of your day to help me, to take care of me when I did not ask, to listen to my stories and to try to get to know both me and my feelings better. No matter what would make Nimbusians say you are not not good pony, to me, that is something good pony would do." He takes one of his hooves off of the hoof of hers he's holding to hold her cheek. "Do not worry about some other fantasy, some other 'perfect mare'. I will tell you now: to him, you are perfect mare, you are his fantasy."

Between her response to Iron and Silver's words, her usual smile has returned to her face. Whereas before her look was of concern or happiness or what have you, her smile suggests deviousness.
"I don't know if the fantasy can last long enough to raise foals, but so be it. I shall be his fantasy. That is a role I am content to play."

Silver follows, happy with how things have turned out so far, enjoying the lack of stress and tension in his back and barrel, and glad to see Skies earn back at least a little of her confidence in herself.

"Oh, right. Thank you for reminding me." On his way out, he grabs his fatigues, rifle, and saddlebags, trying to put them on on the move.

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?”
