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.

>>84981"some documents about a charity that sends and receives a large amounts of bits. could be bit laundering."
>>84984I guess so? For Silver, something like this is fairly normal for him, even if what you've seen so far says otherwise.It's only just recently I've found a way to articulate the reason why Silver's marked as being True Neutral even though the actions he's taken in the game thus far are much closer to Lawful Good: The Lawful Good Silver? The pony who donates to charity, gives romance advice to friends, who sticks to his principles and fights for those he cares for, was a loving husband and father for 18 years? That's the pony Silver wants to be, and wishes he could be. The True Neutral Silver? The pony who robs a mare of her jewelry without nary a thought, who has no remorse over brutally slaughtering those who killed his wife or just normally killing in general, who stays loyal to the contract and to Bits, who fights for little more than personal gain? That's the pony Silver is, and has been for a very long time. Try as he may to be good, until something significant happens to make him seriously reconsider his life choices, or until somepony manages to convince him to try to change his ways, he'll always revert back to that baser instinct, to the True Neutral Silver: the pony who knows how to fight, and choses to fight for himself.Or I just suck at this. Who knows?>>84983"I found some correspondence letter between Comte and other politicians, talking about fighting back against Black Hooves through elections. Also found some...concerning...philosophy books regarding sex, one of them involving foals. Most interesting thing I found was 2,000 Bit check from Comte to Antonio Prancesco."

"Yea i say downstairs that he was in correspondence with a stallion named pransisco
is that how its spelled?"
>>84988It's either Pransesco or Prancesco. For the sake of not breaking the GM, let's say either works."Yes, but this could serve as evidence that he payed significant sum to Prancesco for something. It is not enough for trial on its own, but if we can find something worth sending him to trial..."
>>84989>>84990>>84991Goddammit...Silver feels a strange pang of guilt, like something suddenly weighing down his heart. He looks to the brooch and the necklace in his bag.
>>84993"Well we have some addresses to check out. and does the name "the jungle express" mean any thing to you?"
>>84994"No, I do not believe it does..." Silver looks at something in his bag for a couple seconds, before sighing and turning to head back downstairs. "...Hey...I will be right back. Need to do something real quick."
>>84989>>84990>>84991Silver trots forlornly back down the stairs, the weight of his guilt weighing him down considerably more than he expected. Every step he takes with the stolen possessions, every moment that passes, he feels it becomes more difficult to breathe.
As he steps in front of the dresser in the master bedroom once again, he pulls out the necklace and the brooch. He stares at them, a mental battle being waged in his mind. One second, he'll make a motion like he's going to return the jewelry. The next, he'll move to put them back in his bags. And for a third second, they'll return to a neutral state.
Memories, meanwhile, come to mind and pass like the wind. Memories of him doing bad things, terrible things, in his past. Memories of him in which he tried to do something better, to be better. Memories of her. Of Storm. And them together.
After a few seconds of this, he sighs, and tosses them back into the dresser. "This is not right...I...she...she would want me to be better than...this. Whatever 'this' is." The weight feels lifted off his chest. He feels like he can breathe once more. He turns for the stairs back to the attic once more, only offering one lass look back at the dresser before making his way back to Dark Star.
"It is not worth it, to lose what little I have left."
[Read more] >>84997Well, she was a former bandit.What, ponies can change!>>84994After almost a minute, Silver comes back looking a bit relieved about something, but at the same time looking somewhat troubled. Whatever exactly is causing it, Star doesn't immediately know.
>>84998"You look like you feel better. i dont suppose you found any information about boats?"
>>84999"Yes, I...I think I do feel better, yeah. But no, I did find anything on boats, I believe. Why?"
>>85000"That jungle express thing i mentioned before was a boat i was wondering if you had heard anything at all about boats. and you said you found some degenerate books right?"
>>85001He pulls them out: one is titled "Three Theories of Sexuality" by Signalmound Friend, the other is titled ""Psychology of Sex" by Havenlove Chalice.
"Just do not pull Ash and set fire to them."
>>85003"flip to the degenerate parts, i need to take some pictures."
>>85004He does so, turning them to the parts he found particularly distressing. In particular, he turns to the parts of "Psychology of Sex" where it talks about sexuality in foals.
Not knowing what else to say, he speaks the first thing on his mind. "So...you and Blue managed to talk things out. I am glad for this."
>>85005Dark Star Wretches at the contents
*Snap*
"You can turn the page now. and yea im pretty sure we did."
>>85006He does so. It gets to the part of the "Psychology of Sex" where it talks about homosexuality. Silver doesn't seem nearly as disgusted by this section as he does the previous one, though it's still clearly uncomfortable for him. "I thought jape at Iron was fairly humorous as well."
>>85007Dark Star seem disgusted by this passage as well but his disgust is not as intense
*Snap*
"Im sort of proud of that one."
Dark Star Laughs and looks away from the gay book
"You know i wish ash had burned this book instead of the books in the basement."
>>85008Silver laughs. "Me too." After a couple more seconds of laughter, Silver looks at Star. "Hey Star...would you like to learn how to do something for Blue? It will likely seem so small thing to you, but I figure I could share some of my knowledge about having pegasus partner. I am certain Blue would love it."
>>85010Yep, that one. >>85012Dark Star looks at silver with a quizzical look
"yea, i would like any information i can get, my dad died before he could teach me about mares."
>>85013Silver rubs the back of his neck. "I...do not know how much help I can be with teach you about mares in general, but for pegasi...well, what do you know about preening?"
>>85014"im not even sure what that means."
>>85015"Ah, let us start with that, then. Preening is way pegasi take care of their wings. It usually serves three purposes: remove loose or damaged feathers from wings, clean healthy feathers of dirt and sweat that accumulates over time, and cover them with natural oils to protect them from elements. Adult pegasi can do this on their own, but those in intimate relationships are known to preen each other, and it is usually seen as very intimate act. I have had some experience in this, as I was married to Storm for 18 years, so if you want, I could try to teach you how to preen Blue."
>>85016"please go on. im all ears."
Dark Star wiggles his ears
>>85017Silver laughs a bit more. He feels almost younger, teaching Dark Star like this. Makes him feel like he's teaching his own sons, again.
Silver starts to teach Star how to preen, or at least as well as he can as a unicorn can teach an earth pony without any visual aid. He describes how to root around in a pegasus's wing to locate loose feathers and very gently pull them out with his teeth, how to use both his snout and his tongue to clean the dirt and grime off of healthy feathers, and how to spread the natural oils secreted in the wings and wingpits throughout the feathers to add a nice, protective layer. He also goes into surprising detail about how the oils secreted by a pegasus's wingpits are absolutely loaded with pheromones, and just how effective it is in "exciting" the male member, and getting a pony "in the mood to reproduce".
>>85018"very interesting. Pheromones you say?"
>>85019Silver nods. "Indeed. It is supposed to prepare couple for intercourse, get both members in mood. There were many times when I would preen Storm and take large whiff from her wingpits, and it would be like punch to face, that scent of her pheromones. It becomes especially potent during estrus." He blushes a little in embarrassment as he continues. "Normally, I would have to wait until near end of preening to do so. It would not take long for my mind to go to mush thinking about nothing but rutting her, and for feeling of my, eh...'Splitting Sword'...popping out of its sheath and slapping against her back to make us both go crazy with lust."
>>85020"what does it smell like?"
>>85021Same >>85022"I have heard it is different for all pegasi, at least to some degree, that all have some sort of unique 'flavor' to their pheromones. It usually will always smell somewhat like mixture of sweat and musk, but there is also something...unique, something I can not quite describe. All I can come up with is it smells bit like sex, or energy, except more...potent."
>>85024"It is something you would need to experience yourself to understand, I feel. All I can describe accurately is feeling. You know those shivers down your spine or legs when you eat delicious food, or listen to great music, or when your partner does something
really pleasurable to you? It is like that, except throughout your entire body."
>>85025"i think im going to try it out next chance i get."
>>85026Star notices Silver shifting around a little where he's sitting. Apparently all of this talk about pheromones has got him worked up a bit. "I highly recommend it. I would offer to help guide you through process, but I am not sure how much my help would be welcomed. I...also would not want to...intrude...on any, eh, 'private' moments that occur between you two."
>>85027"Something wrong?"
Dark Star Chuckles a bit knowing whats wrong
"could you write the steps down maybe?"
>>85028"N-no, nothing is wrong." The awkward and silently pleading look on his face confirms what Star already knows. "If you had pen and paper, then yes, I would be very willing to write it down for you."
